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 devise, 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 fuel may be lessened 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 Norfolk, 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, in return 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.

Ledger Office, May 15, 1809.
Of the great number of vessels which have sailed since the embargo was raised (of which many have returned) we have not heard of one interruption from any of the belligerents, notwithstanding the predictions of those, who to justify their embargo system, insisted that there was no security on the ocean, while French decrees and British orders existed. We regret however to learn that in but too many instances, enterprise and industry have not received their merited reward. The immense quantities of every sort of produce thrown into St. Bartholomew and the ports of Cuba, have produced a great depression in prices. But the most serious injury has been produced by the new and heavy duties imposed on our produce in the ports of Cuba. These duties were laid, there is no doubt, in consequence of the interdiction to Spanish vessels loading in our ports, a measure not less impolitic as respected this country, than it was unjust towards a nation, against whom we alleged no complaint. It was a part of that system, of which we hope and believe we have seen the last, judging from appearance, there is reason to hope for a different course of policy.
The state elections of Massachusetts and New York, have been ascertained; the former have terminated by an increase of the federal majority of the last year, and in the latter for the first time in nearly ten years, the federalists have gained a majority in the legislature of that populous and opulent state.
If elections are to be taken as criteria, whereby publick opinion is to be tested, it is probable that no man ever declined more in publick estimation than Mr. Jefferson did, during the last eighteen months of his administration. Before that period the executives and legislatures of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island were democratick, they are now federal. The legislature of New York was democratick—now federal—In Maryland the same—In congress the change has been great indeed, as will appear from the following statement which we believe is correct, or not more than a member wrong.
   10th Congress. 11th Congress.   Fed. Demo. Fed. Demo.     New Hampshire, 0 5 5 0   Massachusetts, 7 10 10 7   Rhode Island, 0 2 2 0   New York, 3 14 8 9   Vermont 2 2 3 1   Virginia, 1 19 4 16   North Carolina 1 13 4 10  
Independent of which there is a federal senator from Massachusetts in the place of Mr. Adams, and a federal senator from Rhode Island in the place of a democrat. We have not noticed Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, in which there were 14 federalists in the Tenth Congress, and there is the same number in the Eleventh.
The changes will as they ought serve as admonitions to the present administration, and prove to Mr. Madison, that the measures of his predecessor ought to be avoided. We are very far from intending to say, that Mr. Madison would be inclined to follow the ruinous measures which the Jeffersonians pursued, with an obstinacy proportioned to their absurdity.
On this day week the eleventh congress are to meet, when the first trial of the strength of parties will be made in the choice of Speaker and Clerk of the House of Representatives. For the former place we think Mr. Macon has much the best chance, first because from all that we have understood he is best qualified. Less violent in most measures than Mr. Varum, he will it is believed obtain all the federal votes in number 50. There are about 12 or 13 opposition republicans, the whole number is 142, so that Mr. Macon has only to obtain 10 or 11 democrats to secure his election; those of his own state will be sufficient.
Captain John Shaw, Commandant on the Norfolk Station.
GOSPORT NAVY YARD, 9th May, 1809.
SIR,
The present situation of our country now no longer demanding our immediate services; the officers under your command deeply impressed with every sentiment of esteem and affection for you, both as an officer and fellow-citizen, cannot depart from this station without tendering you their best wishes for your future happiness and prosperity.
We cannot but rejoice at the events which have so lately transpired between this country and Great-Britain, particularly as they are so eminently calculated to restore to us that commerce of which we have been so long deprived, and which so materially contributed to our national prosperity; neither can we too much admire the promptitude with which our government met the proposals from Great-Britain and averted the horrors of war. Most heartily do we wish for a continuance of peace; our horizon once wearing so loaring and threatening an
aspect, now brightens the face of our country, and bids us hope for a long continuance of prosperity.— Let us sincerely hope for a speedy and honourable adjustment of our differences with France, who, no doubt, will not hesitate to follow the example of Great-Britain, in rendering us satisfaction for the aggressions received from her.
Although, Sir, we cannot but sincerely appreciate the blessings so likely to result from the present train of our affairs, we cannot but lament a separation from an officer, whom we so highly respect; and should our country need again our services, our proudest wish will be to act again under your command, confident that in you we should find a firm supporter of our country's cause, and towards ourselves, that deportment which our own conduct might merit. Permit us to subscribe ourselves
Your most obedient servants,
Walter Winter, Robert Cutchin, Thomas Watts, George S. Wade, John Percival, Charles Drew, Barnam G. Hopkins, John Robertson, Dixon Brown.
ANSWER.
GOSPORT NAVY YARD, 11th May, 1809.
Gentlemen,
The disinterested politeness which induces you to address me with your valedictory, imposed on me the pleasing duty to render to you all, my personal acknowledgments.
I rejoice with you gentlemen in the occasion that discharges you from the obligations devolved upon yourselves by the tender of your active services, and I am extremely pleased to see you manifest your disinterested sentiments, which are the most honourable badges of an officer, and will forever continue, I hope, to characterize the individuals that are patronized with the confidence of our government.
Permit me now, gentlemen, to reciprocate with you in the regret I feel in parting with you all, they are various demonstrations of your abilities and your zeal in the execution of your official duty; and your personal deportment of conduct, has inspired me with a regret at parting that can be but lightened by the progress of time. I sincerely hope that every success may attend your various avocations, and if our country again should claim your aid, I doubt not but your exertions would reflect credit on the service on which you are engaged.
I am, Gentlemen, Respectfully yours,
JOHN SHAW.
From the New-York American Citizen.
During the reign of JEFFERSON TERROUR, (and I never knew a reign more terrible than the latter part of his administration) a vindictive and remorseless war was commenced against every man of virtue and talent in the republican party, that did not yield implicit assent to executive opinions and measures. Whatever was the design, whatever was the ultimate view, the practise was to break down individual independence, and to coerce the mind, by pains and penalties, by persecution and proscription, into a slavish submission to the royal doctrine, that "the King can do no wrong." Jefferson has himself said (and I candidly confess that I am no admirer either of the man or of his doctrines) but Jefferson has himself justly remarked, that "religious persecution has no other tendency than that of making men either hypocrites or victims." Has not political persecution the same tendency? It undoubtedly has. Now whether he himself was the origin of that execrable system of persecution against republican independence and talent which was set in brisk motion, or only slyly connived at and encouraged it, I know not; but it was certainly prosecuted under his auspices. Did a republican differ from Mr. Jefferson? He was denounced. "My Lords, my Lords, the King's been shot at," was the hue and cry set up, and down went the man who said that the King's gun-boats were not as large as a 74. Do you dislike the proposition for a dry dock? I do. Then you are no republican, for as Mr. Jefferson approves of dry docks, and all republicanism is in Mr. Jefferson, ergo, republicanism is a dry dock! A man landing here to-day from Europe, who had not witnessed these things, might say, if reading this paper—this is a very good joke. He could not imagine that in the "most enlightened country in the world," as congress resolved this was; the most free and only free, as the Martling tribe insists, and beyond all question the most liberal and republican, whether congress resolve or the slaughter-house maintain so or not; I say he could not imagine that in such a country dogmas and doctrines so preposterous and anti-republican had been propagated by republican zeal, and enforced by republican persecution. Still it is a fact. Such things have been, and such things yet are. John Randolph censured some of the measures of the administration, and therefore as John could not be republican, down John must go. He had never deserted republican principles, but what then? He did not worship the king, and that was precisely the same offence as if he had apostatized from all the principles of the constitution. Duane thought that John was right, and that Jefferson was "a good innocent man enough, but that two rascals stood with a rope about his neck, which they drew as they pleased." He so intimated in his Aurora, and he declared so at one of the Philadelphia ward meetings. But he afterwards changed, for he can smile, and smile, and still play the villain—He afterwards obtained a colonelcy! Ah! The colonelcy! Then the king was to be worshipped and Randolph was wrong! Wonder-working colonelcy! Randolph was now opposed in his district: out he must go, for to have in congress a republican of talents and virtue, is a damnable sin! No man is now fit for a seat in that honourable body who will not sit like a Mandarin, and only nod his head when the president asks him to do so. Now as John is not a disciple of Confucius, five Chinese were started against him in his district. The first four had so fine a prospect of being completely distanced, that after running the course once round they gave up! Mr. Baker the late president's nephew was now brought out, but as John's constituents were not a bit fonder of Confucius than himself, the late president's nephew was beaten to his heart's content. If Fox had been defeated in Westminster, England would have trembled for the respectability and independence of the house of commons. The Westminster electors never permitted themselves to be overawed by royal power.
From the same. MR. MADISON.—I have several times had the honour of congratulating the community on the abandonment by Mr. Madison of that unenlightened and ruinous course of policy which had been pursued by Mr. Jefferson in relation to our foreign affairs, and I once added that the recent very prompt and satisfactory adjustment of our prominent differences with England, was a necessary and natural consequence of retracing by Mr. Madison the very awkward and embarrassing steps which had been unfortunately taken by his immediate predecessor. These opinions were not however advanced in a spirit of exultation over a president whose acts, being greatly injudicious and intolerably oppressive, had become universally and justly odious; no, on the contrary, they were dictated by that cordial affection which had been inspired by an act of the new president, and which, liberating us from an unnecessary state of commercial thralldom, and diffusing joy over every heart, had given us an earnest of an administration exactly the reverse of that which had reduced the nation almost to despair and eminently exposed our republican governments to subversion. Every enlightened lover of his country will rejoice, with me, in the assurance with which Mr. Madison has furnished us, that his administration will be guided by wholesome experience, and not by pernicious theory; by that impartiality which is the essence of the neutral state, and not by that criminal predilection for one belligerent which cannot be indulged but at the expense of the other, as well as to the injury of our own nation, in every thing essentially affecting its character, its quiet, and its resources. I persuade myself that the miserable scenes which we have witnessed will never again be exhibited.
The Baltimore Whig, a paper too disorganizing to attract respect, and too obscure to merit particular notice, denies that our government has retraced its steps, and after impertinently remarking that "I knew that I was uttering an untruth" when I made the assertion, adds, very pleasantly and with much wisdom "ingenious Mr. Cheetham, do tell us how a nation can retrace its steps which stands still?" Philosophy indeed teaches us that a body which is at rest will always remain so until put in motion by a superior power. But much as our late executive dabbled in a half philosophy, the administration has not, as the Whig party intimates, always been at rest. I think I shall evince to the satisfaction of the humblest understanding, before I have done with this subject, that it has advanced backwards; that it has completely retraced its steps; that the lack of wisdom in the late president, or too much of something worse, brought upon us those calamities which for the last two years we have suffered, and that so long ago, the happy adjustment of our differences with England, which has just been accomplished, might have been affected upon precisely the same terms.
Perhaps it will be conceded, for I think it true, that if the reparation which has been offered by the one nation and accepted by the other, had been tendered and received two years ago, a commercial treaty between us and England would have been, as it is now likely to be, a necessary consequence, and that such a treaty would have been an effectual bar to and an absolute preclusion of the orders in council, and therefore of our memorable embargo; supposing, as has been sometimes alleged, that the orders were the cause of that foolish and fatal measure. If this be so, and I am opinion it is, it is to the non-adjustment of the affair of the Chesapeake that we owe all our agitations, our broils, and our sufferings. We shall now see that it was in the power of Mr. Jefferson finally and satisfactorily to have settled this unpleasant affair immediately after it happened, and that the adjustment of it by Mr. Madison is solely attributable to Mr. Madison's uttering abandoning the position which Mr. Jefferson had assumed, and to which, to the great danger of the impoverishment of his country and the severance of the union he pertinaciously adhered.
It will be recollected that Mr. Monroe, before he had received any instructions from Mr. Jefferson in reference to the Chesapeake, wrote an unofficial note to Mr. Canning upon the attack which had been made on that frigate, in which note, deprecating the outrage in pointed terms, he explicitly stated, that it was an act of so atrocious a character, as to forbid associating with it any other subject. Until, therefore, reparation was made, the other causes of misunderstanding between the two nations, Mr. Monroe was of opinion, should remain as they were. This is exactly the principle of the adjustment lately effected by Mr. Madison, but the reverse of that which Mr. Jefferson had thought fit to assume. Mr. Monroe thought as every enlightened and honourable man would have thought, but the thoughts of Mr. Jefferson were precisely the opposite.
Mr. Monroe received his instructions with surprise. He was instructed not to accept reparation for the attack on the Chesapeake, unless accompanied by a concession on another and distinct point, which was of course not connected with it, and which I venture to assert England will never make until she is beaten into it. The following were his instructions. After recapitulating the facts about the Chesapeake, Mr. Jefferson instructed Mr. Madison to say—
"The nature and extent of the satisfaction ought to be suggested to the British government, not less by a sense of its own honour than by justice to that of the United States. A formal disavowal of the deed, and restoration of the four seamen to the ship from which they were taken, are things of course and indispensable. As a security for the future, an entire abolition of impressments from vessels under the flag of the United States, if not already arranged, is also to make an indispensable part of the satisfaction."

Here we see that reparation for the attack was not sufficient; that the outrage and atonement were not to stand alone; that for some reason with which we are not perhaps acquainted, a very delicate subject was coupled with both, and that an "entire abolition of impressments from merchant vessels, was also to make an indispensable part of the satisfaction."—This, instead of being a spirited national demand of atonement for a national offence, was a direct insult offered to the British government, and an avowal which no sensible man can mistake, that the object of Mr. Jefferson was not satisfaction, but a state of continued and increased enmity.
Well; Mr. Monroe had of course to follow the Protean changes and shapes of the "king his master." Contrary to his opinion—to that which had formally though unofficially been expressed to Mr. Canning, he found himself instructed to connect with a claim for reparation, a demand to which he knew, and which Mr. Jefferson knew, as well as all the world besides, England would not yield. I am instructed to demand, said Mr. Monroe, that the "whole subject of impressments, shall be taken up at this time," (p. 36—7 of the Message) and that atonement for the attack on the Chesapeake will not be received, unless associated with "an entire abolition of impressments from merchant vessels." Alas! what could have been the motive of Mr. Jefferson for such an unnatural association of things? To this injudicious coupling of two distinct subjects, which Mr. Madison has dissolved and relinquished, Mr. Canning makes the following reply. President's message, p. 36, 40 and 41.
"At the same time that I offer to you this explanation of the principles upon which his majesty has
authorized me to discuss with you the subject of your representation, and that I renew to you the assurance of the disposition to conduct that discussion in the most amicable form, and to bring it to a conclusion satisfactory to the honour, and feelings of both countries; it is matter of regret that you should have been instructed to annex to the demand of reparation for the attack of the Leopard upon the Chesapeake, any proposition whatever respecting the search for British seamen in merchant vessels; a subject which is wholly unconnected with the case of the Leopard and the Chesapeake, and which can only tend to complicate and embarrass a discussion, mitselt of sufficient delicacy and importance."
"The difficulties in the way of such adjustment already smoothed, by the disavowal voluntarily offered, at the very outset of the discussion, of the general and unqualified pretension to search ships of war for deserters. There remained only to ascertain the facts of the particular case, and to proportion the reparation to the wrong."
"Is the British government now to understand, that you, sir, are not authorized to enter into this question separately and distinctly; without having obtained, as a preliminary concession, the consent of this country to enter into discussion with respect to the practice of searching merchant vessels for deserters?"
"Whether any arrangement can be devised by which this practice may admit of modification, without prejudice to the essential rights and interests of Great Britain, is a question which, as I have already said, the British government, may at a proper season, be ready to entertain: but whether the consent of Great Britain to the entering into such discussion shall be extorted at the price of an amicable adjustment, as to the condition of being admitted to make honourable reparation for an injury, is a question of quite a different sort, and one which can be answered no otherwise than by an unqualified refusal."
What says Mr. Monroe? An honest and an honourable man, he answers without ambiguity. "You ask, he observes to Mr. Canning, whether I am authorised to separate this latter incident (the attack on the Chesapeake, from the general practice, and to treat it as a distinct topic? On this point I have to state, that no instructions, which are explicit , enjoin me to consider the whole of this class of injuries as an entire subject." Message, p. 43.
Here the negotiation ended in London. Mr. Jefferson refused to accept reparation unless accompanied with an entire abolition of impressments from merchant vessels, which was to make a part of it. Reparation has now been made by England and accepted by Mr. Madison without the least notice being taken of impressments from merchant vessels . Was I then not right? Has not Mr. Madison completely retraced the steps of Mr. Jefferson? Has he not abandoned his injudicious policy?—Has he not wisely turned his back on the principles, in this respect, of the "illustrious Jefferson?" The very reparation which was tendered to Mr. Monroe in London, and which was refused by Mr. Jefferson, is now accepted. "But an entire abolition of impressment from merchant vessel, has not also made an indispensable part of the satisfaction."
Go now to breakfast, Mr. Whig, with what appetite you may. Adversity teacheth a fool wisdom.
From the North American.
To a gentleman who has bestowed upon the North American many commercial articles, we are indebted for the Havana Packet of the 23d ult, from which we make the following important translation.
COMMERCE.
As no country possesses the means of supplying its inhabitants with every thing they need for subsistence, men are reduced to the necessity of forming, through the medium of commerce, a mutual dependence. Hence arises the strict union, which subsists between commerce and agriculture, and which induced a sage to represent the happiness of nations under the symbol of a matron sitting upon a swing, the ends of which are fastened, the one to a plough and the other to an anchor.
The low state to which the agriculture of this island has been reduced, and its evident decline, have obliged our chiefs to avail themselves of measures, which, if they do not restore to its splendour, will at least prevent its annihilation; thus preserving this precious colony for the most amiable of monarchs.
The very scanty exportation of our productions renders necessary the adoption of commerce with neutrals, and the granting of privileges to them and to our own citizens.
Not to permit, as some have wished, neutrals and our allies the English, to carry on commerce with this island, during the sad effervescence in which the peninsula finds itself, whose necessity to attend to the just cause it sustains, does not admit of their coming to America, would be to imitate Domitian, who tore up the vines of his empire, and to be much more cruel to ourselves, than he was to his subjects. But far from thus being our situation, the prudence of our chiefs adopted a system, which conciliating our particular benefit with the common advantage of the nation, the Island of Cuba will preserve a grateful remembrance of its protectors.
Mr. Don Francisco de Isla and Solorzano, honorary commissary ordenador of the royal armies, and administrator general of the royal maritime revenue, has caused the following resolutions to be published.
"The president, governor and captain general, and the intendant of the army of this island, by a decree, made on the 5th of the current month, and communicated to this general administration on the 15th of the same, has resolved as follows:
"That as far as respects this island, vessels of neutrals and of the English our allies, may come to the ports of Havana, Matanzas, Cuba, [St. Jago de Cuba] and Trinidad only:
"That from all the qualified ports of the island, Spanish vessels may depart from neutral and allied ports:
"And finally, that produce, effects, and merchandise, which may be imported from neutral and allied ports into the four abovenamed ports of this island, and may afterwards be carried from one to another of them, shall not be obliged to pay new duties.
"Which notice is communicated to the merchants, that it may serve for their government and satisfaction in their voyages & other mercantile business, which they may undertake during the present circumstances.
(Signed)

"Havana, 18th April, 1809."
The president, governor and captain general, and the intendant of the army and the royal finance, by a royal decree of the 17th Current, after having heard the I. A. of this city and the committee of government of the Royal Consulado, has resolved for the present; that flour brought by neutrals, after the 25th March last, which may be consumed in this island, shall pay an importation 8 dollars per barrel, and when imported under the Spanish flag five dollars; on account of its being an article which may be supplied by our possessions in America; and that such as may be re-shipped or put on board another vessel for other destinations out of this island, shall

contribute only one per cent. upon the value; and in consequence the publick is advised of it for its government.

ALEXANDRIA, May 11. Retract of a letter from a gentleman in St. Bartholomews to a gentleman in this town, dated the 25th ult.
"The Sants was given up last Tuesday evening, after a desperate engagement—the English lost heavily, and they are now destroying the forts. Three ships of the line got out of there two days before, and Cochrane has succeeded in getting possession of two of them, the other got off by sailing."
"By a late regulation in the English Island, Swedish vessels are not allowed to carry provisions;—this will cause a partial stagnation in trade here, but when the people get in want of flour, &c. these restrictions must be taken off."
BALTIMORE, May 8. The federalists of Alexandria are making preparations for a splendid dinner to be given to Mr. Madison. The committee appointed to wait upon, and invite the president, were received with the most marked attention, and invited to dine with his excellency. His excellency has accepted the invitation carried by the committee. We should be glad to receive a particular account of this entertainment. Well may the merchants of Alexandria rejoice in Mr. Madison's return to the good old principles of federalism. Let the crazy professors of Jeffersonism give themselves up to weeping and wailing and all the afflicting stings of jealousy and mortification, the federalists will pay homage to Mr. Madison while he continues to pursue the course which he has taken. Fed. Ref.
May 10. A passenger in the ship United States arrived at Alexandria informs, that before he sailed from St. Bartholomews, a gentleman came on board and informed that a vessel had just arrived from St. Thomas, which brought accounts of the capture of St. Domingo by the British. It was expected that Guadalupe would not stand out long, the British had commenced the bombardment.—American.
The Felucca built schooner Swift, captain Watts; belonging to this port, built on a new model, performed her passage from the capes of Virginia to St. Jago de Cuba in the extraordinary short passage of 8 days.
We learn from Washington, that the president has remitted the fine and imprisonment imposed on general Bright and those under his command, for resisting the marshal for the Pennsylvania district, in executing the decrees of the circuit court in Olmstead's case.
From Cuba.—We are indebted to the politeness of a respectable French gentleman for the Spanish paper containing the following proclamation. America will once more shelter in her hospitable bosom the otherwise homeless emigrants.
Translated for the Federal Gazette. PROCLAMATION.
Don Sebastian Kindelany O'Neagan, Knight of the Order of St. Jago, Governor and Commandant of the City of St. Jago de Cuba, &c. &c.
No sooner had the unwelcome news of the tragical events in our mother country (produced by the exterminating genius of the infernal tyrant of Europe, whose unheard of conduct has scandalized and incensed the whole world) reached this island, than the excellent and worthy chief who governs us adopted those measures which he judged to be most conducive to the welfare of the state as well as to publick tranquility, which is the basis of the happiness of the people; and displayed that energy which has made him so eminent in this hemisphere, without endangering the safety of the French refugees in his district, to whom he had offered an asylum with a view to the encouragement of agriculture and the arts. For, emulating the virtuous conduct of the chiefs of the metropolis, who have ever been and are still his models, he could adopt no other means than what were dictated by good sense and morality to maintain the reputation of Spanish magnanimity and generosity. He could not for a moment lay aside those qualities which characterise the true Spaniard, who looks down with disdain on whatever is tinctured with baseness or villainy. The protection of innocence and of mankind, equally recommended by feeling and by the laws, has been the motive of his conduct during this period, and has procured him the applause of our generous allies, the wise and brave British, seeking at all times to reconcile the interest of the state, with the sacred duties of hospitality, so long as the French shewed no signs of ingratitude; or, whilst it was possible consistently with the publick security to permit them to remain in the island.
This is the reason which determined him to establish in every part of this island a committee of vigilance, by means of which the intentions of the government are effected with the least possible delay; Nevertheless, having considered that regulations however excellent do not always produce the same salutary effects in all places, owing to a diversity of circumstances, as is the case in this city, for which I am responsible, relative to the above disposition in its whole extent; wishing equally to suppress the clamours of the vulgar and the suggestions of a false zeal, as well as to provide against the fatal consequence of a maritime invasion, which, however remote such an event may appear, is not impossible during the conflict between the two nations; more especially since the opening of the ports of North America, as vessels may now be obtained for the transportation of troops, which before were not to be procured: I have proclaimed and ordered as follows:
Art. 1. All such Frenchmen and other foreigners, of whatever rank, sex or colour, as have come to reside within the city of St. Jago, or the jurisdiction thereof, since the French revolution, and are not domiciliated by express act of his excellency the captain general of this island, shall depart the district.
2. Artists and labourers are to cease exercising their pursuits from the date hereof; butchers and bakers are allowed eight days; gardeners, &c. fifteen days, during which time they may dispose of their stock and effects.
3. The government, desirous of extending every hospitality which may not be incompatible with the interests and dignity of the nation, allows forty days for the departure of all those persons possessed of immovable effects, that they may dispose of the same, or prepare procurations before a notary for such Spaniards or Frenchmen as they may confide in, who may sell the same, and transmit the proceeds as directed to any place not subject to or in the possession of France.
4. Those not possessed of immovable property, shall depart within twenty days.
5. All persons thus compelled to leave the district, may take with them their property and effects.
6. The fisheries now carried on on the coasts, shall cease their operations from the publication hereof. Orders to this effect have been despatched to the commandant of the marine.
7. Disobedience to any of the foregoing articles, shall subject the delinquent to imprisonment, and his property to be confiscated.
8. Every Spaniard is authorised to inform the government, or members of the committee of vigilance,
or any of the coregidor of the most illustrious Cabildo, of any infractions of the above articles.
9. Any person who may secrete, or aid in secreting any Frenchman, shall be punished according to the circumstances of the case.
10. These regulations embracing all strangers not provided with the letter required by the first article, those only can be deemed exempt from their operation who enter and leave the port in the prosecution of commerce, or for any other equally lawful purpose. This privilege is not, however, extended to Frenchmen, who are strictly prohibited from entering the place on any account whatsoever, under the pain of incurring the resentment of the government, and being held and treated in all respects as prisoners of war.
11. Frenchmen who, agreeably to the requisitions of article 1st, may continue in this city or its dependencies, are enjoined to conform strictly to our laws and customs.
12. The Cubans will not fail so to assist those who are thus compelled to leave our shores, as shall manifest that we continue to treat them with that humanity and tenderness, by which we are characterised. The foregoing proclamation shall be published in the usual form, in Spanish and in French, and posted at all the publick places.

P. BOND. May 10. The President of the United States considering the law as satisfied, as far as relates to gen. Bright, and those that were sentenced to fine and imprisonment, for resisting the Marshal of the United States in the execution of his duty in the case of Olmstead, has in special form remitted the remainder of their sentence; in consequence of which, they were released from their confinement on Monday afternoon last.
Letter received at Philadelphia, dated
Lisbon, March 18. "Since the opening of our ports this market has been well supplied with provisions, which has constituted the only branch of trade worthy attention, all other being in perfect calm; both grain and codfish have been realized on moderate terms, nor is there the least apprehension of a scarcity unless the French should repossess the country; hitherto they have not manifested serious determinations to that effect, though they keep some force on our frontiers, but until now, no more than what our national troops are able to cope with; however this inaction may be so ordained as to lull the kingdom into a false security, if not called away to the north by movements in Austria."

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. No. I. 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. No. II. 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. No. III. 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. No. IV. 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 Gargoes, 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, or 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. Soap 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, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories 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 occupier; 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 acknowledge 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 rateable 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 as 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
false swearing, 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. Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk. Feb. 13.

Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatism Drops.
The Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, and the various disorders of the same nature, are so exquisitely painful, and so difficult to be cured, that they have justly excited the most stretch of medical investigation. Some professional gentlemen have excelled in one department of the science; others in another. Dr. Tissot particularly has long been renowned for the superiority of his prescription in chronic diseases, and the length of time which elapsed during his sole attention to the nature and effects and cure of these afflictions, render the medicines which he recommended of invaluable importance. The beneficial effects of these drops, have been so often experienced, and their extraordinary efficacy has been attested by witnesses so numerous and so unimpeachably credible, that incredulity itself cannot doubt the virtue of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops. Large quantities have already been vendred, and the sale is now become so general, and their certainty in curing the disorder of a chronic nature is so completely ascertained, that certainties of their unbounded utility are now unnecessary. Testimonies of their value, and a volume of attested cases performed by them, may be seen upon application at T. W. Dyott's genuine Drug and Patent Medicine Warehouse, No. 57, South Second-Street, Philadelphia. The price of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops, is only two dollars per bottle, with copious directions. Generous allowances made to those who buy to sell again. Of the many respectable testimonies of the effects of the above Drops, which have been received by the proprietor, we beg leave to annex the following:
Certificate of General Ridgely of Hampton. I certify that having received a blow on my knee, which induced severe pain and swelling, I was advised to apply to Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops, and on bathing the part with them only a few times, agreeably to the directions, they effected a perfect cure. Another time my wrist was affected with rheumatism to such a degree, as to render my hand for the time useless, when on application of the same remedy in like manner, the disorder in the course of twenty-four hours was entirely removed. I therefore, from the experience I have had of the efficacy of said medicine, consider it a beneficent act to recommend it in similar cases to others. (Signed) C. RIDGELY, of Hampton.
Certificate of John Gibson, Esq. one of the Directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland. I certify that about a year since, my foot received an injury by a fall; in a few hours after, it was affected with a most excruciating pain, so that I was unable to walk, with crutches. I was apprehensive that this accident would induce a severe fit of the gout, with which I had been frequently attacked. In this situation one of my friends highly recommended and earnestly advised me to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops; I immediately procured them and made the application; in less than three hours the pain entirely abated, which had been so severe, as to deprive me of sleep for several nights. By a few further applications, a perfect cure was effected. I have frequently since in other cases, both used them myself, and recommended them to others with invariable success. (Signed) JOHN GIBSON. Certificate of Mrs. Mary Taylor. I, Mary Taylor, No. 135, Plum Street, Philadelphia, aged upwards of seventy years, having been afflicted with very violent rheumatism pains for more than eight years, being recommended to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops, on only using half a bottle every rheumatism affection was completely removed, and I have continued free from all pain ever since; as witness my hand. MARY TAYLOR. The above drops are sold wholesale and retail only by BONSAL, CONRAD, & Co. Norfolk.
ALSO, DR. ROBERTSON'S Patent Stomachich Wine Bitters. Celebrated and well known for their superior qualities in restoring weak constitutions, destroying Worms, cleansing and strengthening, giving a proper tone to the stomach, and increasing the appetite—a frequent use of them is a certain preventative against those complaints so common in the spring and fall. Such as intermitting fevers, agues, autumnal fevers, dysenteries, &c. &c. They are particularly serviceable to those who make long sea voyages, and are exposed to unhealthy climates, as a powerful preservative against contagious disorders.
PRO BONO PUBLICO. Patent Water-Proof Brunswick Blacking, prepared with oil, which softens, preserves, and beautifies the leather. Words cannot set forth its just praise, nor can its transcendent qualities be truly known, but by experience: it is especially calculated for, and particularly recommended to sportsmen and gentlemen who are exposed much to the wet—Also for cleaning Harness, as it will effectually prevent the water from penetrating, preserve the leather from cracking, and render it supple and pleasant to the very last, giving it also a beautiful jet black gloss, a proof of which may be seen at the warehouse. The above Blacking is prepared and sold only by T. W. DYOTT, at his Medical Warehouse, No. 11, North Second-Street, Philadelphia; sold also by his appointment, at BONSAL, CONRAD, & Co's Book-Store, Norfolk; and at SOMERVELL & CONRAD's, Petersburg.
