NEW LINE.
PHILADELPHIA AND BALTIMORE PACKET.
For the accommodation of Passengers and transportation of Goods, by the way of the Old Court-House, on Elk River, New-Castle, on the Delaware.
THE Publick are respectfully informed, that on Sunday, the 14th September, a new, convenient, and expeditions line of Packets and Stages commenced running between the cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia, where passengers are accommodated in a very superior style.
A new packet, with elegant accommodations, will leave Bowly's wharf, Baltimore, at 9 o'clock, A. M. every day, Saturday excepted, and with a favourable wind will arrive at the Court-House Point in five hours, at any rate in the course of the day, where good stages, with careful and experienced drivers, are provided for the conveyance of passengers to New-Castle. A packet will leave New-Castle for Philadelphia immediately after the arrival of the passengers, which, with a favourable wind, will arrive in three hours and a half—and it is positively conditioned, that no unnecessary delay shall take place, to prevent expediting the trip.
A Packet leaves Paul Beck's wharf, the next below Market-Street wharf, in Philadelphia, for New-Castle, every day in the week, according to tide, Saturday excepted; and on the arrival of passengers at New-Castle, they will be immediately sent on to the Court-House Point, where a Packet will be always ready to receive and convey them to Baltimore. The proprietors have erected good and substantial wharfs and warehouses at the Court-House Point and New-Castle, for the reception of goods, and have appointed competent persons to receive and forward them as soon as possible; they have established publick houses at the same places, where passengers can be accommodated with Fish, Crabs, and Wild Fowl, when in season, and every other delicacy which a rich, fertile, and highly cultivated country will afford; and need be under no apprehensions of detention from low tides in either the Delaware or Chesapeake Bay; the landing on Elk River is 7 to 8 miles below French-Town, and the navigation to the wharf sufficiently good for ships of 300 tons; in New-Castle they possess the same advantages, having 16 feet water directly alongside the wharf.

One Hundred Dollars Reward,
FOR apprehending (and lodging in any jail so that the Subscriber may get him again) Negro CHARLES, who ran off the last of July, without any reason, as he never received any punishment from me. He is about 25 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches high, stout made, and remarkably black, has lost two of his front teeth, plays well on the violin, & is remarkably complaisant and smiling when spoken to, saying yes to almost every word said to him; he has been accustomed to go in a craft, and well acquainted with farming. I purchased him some time ago of a Mr. Hinton, at the mouth of Rappahannock, who wrote me as soon as he had received my money, and returned home, to be on my guard, as he expected he would run off; but I did not profit by his advice, supposing the treatment I gave would induce him not to leave me.—I will give Thirty Dollars if taken within fifty miles of Norfolk; Fifty if over fifty miles, or One Hundred Dollars if taken out of the state and delivered to me.—I will likewise give Fifty Dollars to any person who will give me information so as to convict any one of harbouring, employing, or carrying him out of the state, having a firm belief he has been harboured by persons in the vicinity of this place. Adam Lindsay. Hermitage, near Norfolk, Oct. 3. 1aw3w 223
Ten Dollars Reward,
IS offered for a Maltese Boy, about 15 years old, bound to serve the subscriber seven years.—This boy while in Richmond last May, with one Albert, a baker, was taken off, (as supposed) by a master of a craft from Rocketts, to Norfolk, where he has been since seen often; and first, on board of a schooner called (as I am informed) the Amelia Ann, of Norfolk, William B. Baily, commander.—This Boy is so remarkable in person, that the slightest examination must discover him; he is very low and thick, has a remarkable large flat head, and till more remarkable feet, short and round, which occasions him to walk warbling and with apparent difficulty and exertion to get on at all; his complexion very fair, his mouth so contracted, that he cannot open it more than half its natural extent, and on his forehead and chin a very deep scar, which he says marks the accident which injured his mouth, he speaks tolerable plain English.—He was bound in Malta, in 1804, by name of John Zarr, and since on board ship, he got the name of Andrew, which he always passes by. The above reward will be given on delivering the said boy to Mr. Theo. or Mr. Thomas Armistead, Norfolk, and an addition of Five Dollars more, if delivered in Richmond at the Swan Tavern, to Major John Moss, or to the subscriber, Ryland Randolph.

TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIMES, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
TUESDAY MORNING OCT. 28, 1806.
On Saturday we presented our readers with an extra paper, in consequence of the intelligence received by the Shepherdess, Capt. Wills . In this day's paper we continue further details, and from the want of room, we are compelled to omit many matters of interest, which will be noticed hereafter.—The length of the extra paper of Saturday, has obliged us to delay the paper, which ought to have been published yesterday, until this morning.
Although the success of the British arms in Calabria, are not of sufficient consequence to produce any important effect immediately on the affairs of Europe, it will however teach France, that whether at sea or on shore, single handed , Britons are ready to meet them. It will shew to the nations of Europe, if they are sunk into the lowest abyss of degradation, that to deliver themselves from French domination, it only requires integrity and courage.—Of peace, it is not probable that any thing decisive will reach us for some time; the emperor of Russia having refused to ratify the treaty, made by D'Oubril, it is not presumable that the British negotiator will treat but in conjunction with Russia, which will require some time.
We were yesterday favoured with a paper of the ninth of September , it does not add much to our stock of intelligence. The French papers glance at the disgrace of their troops in Calabria, without making any comment. On the treaty with Russia, not a word is said in the papers of the 5th of September, although the Russian messenger had been four days in Paris with the intelligence of the emperor's refusal to ratify it.
The new king of Holland has introduced the blessings of French police into his dominions. By a royal mandate the Amsterdam Courant , was suppressed on the 29th August, and the editor forbid ever to publish another paper.
The King of Prussia , whatever may be his object, is most certainly engaged in making most active warlike preparations, of which we shall give some details in our next. We must confess that we think with the London editors, that very little is to be hoped from the king of Prussia, in resisting the ambitious views of Buonaparte.
MIRANDA.—Arrived here yesterday the schooner Elizabeth , captain Robins, in 26 days from Laguira, by whom we are informed, that it was daily expected that a general embargo would be ordered by the captain-general of Carracas. As captain R. came out, about 6 leagues from Laguira, saw a ship which he took to be a frigate, with a smaller vessel in company. About 130 French troops had arrived at Laguira from Guadaloupe, to assist against Miranda, which were brought by a brig, that on her passage she fell in with and captured an English schooner, attached to Miranda's expedition—part of the prisoners were sent to Laguira, where they would be treated as prisoners of war, the rest were taken to Guadaloupe.
It was reported by the Spaniards that Miranda on landing at Coro, had lost 20 men, among them captain Johnston.—Miranda was at Aruba the 25th September, where it is said, his troops have suffered a great mortality from a dysentery.
Captain Russell, arrived yesterday morning from Antwerp, left Flushing the 10th September, at which time Lord Lauderdale was still at Paris.
CONTINUATION OF Late European Advices
From Papers received at the Office of the Publick Ledger, from London.
LONDON, Sept. 3. On Monday Lords Holland and Auckland held their first meeting with Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney, the American Ambassadors, at the Treasury Chambers.
The report that Buonaparte had demanded of Prussia the cession of East Friesland and Embden will prove, we believe, to have been well founded. The court of Berlin has taken every necessary precaution to guard against the consequences of a sudden eruption of the enemy in that quarter. By a vessel which left Embden on the 22d ult. we have received intelligence that the bank had been removed from that city to a place of greater safety. It passed through Bremen on the 20th of last month, on the way to Berlin.
We learn by the same opportunity that several neutral vessels, bound to and from England, were detained at Greetseyl by the Dutch gun boats.
The letters brought by the Lisbon mail were delivered yesterday, state that the arrival of lord St. Vincent in the Tagus threw the whole town of Lisbon into a ferment. It appears that neither the Portuguese government, nor the British merchants settled there, had the least expectation of the arrival of an English squadron. Various conjectures were of course entertained as to the cause of its unexpected appearance, and nothing, we are persuaded, could be more ridiculous than the attention which appears to have been paid to some of the reports circulated on this occasion. Among others, it was said, that some arrangement either had taken place, or was on the point of being concluded, between this country and France, by which we were to have a considerable part of Portugal as an indemnity for Hanover, and
that the Court of Lisbon was to remove to Rio Janeiro. It was also rumoured, that the court of Madrid was to be transferred to Peru or Mexico, and that the kingdom of Spain, after having a considerable portion carved out of it as an indemnity for the king of the Two Sicilies, will be broken up, and partitioned among the relatives or adherents of Buonaparte. We are rather inclined to think that the visit of lord St. Vincent to the Tagus, has been occasioned by a circumstance of a widely different nature. The Portuguese ministry is stated to have given orders for the shutting up of Porto Franco (the free port) in the Tagus, allowing only a few months for the reshipment of goods now deposited there. The effects of such a measure would be sensibly felt by the trade of this country; and if government have any reason to suppose that such a project has really been determined upon by the court of Lisbon, they could not have better employed lord St. Vincent, than in the duty of preventing its execution. Chambers.
September 7.
The opinion that Prussia is determined to risk hostilities with France continues to gain strength. Letters received last night from Holland state, that with the exception of a few regiments left in garrison, the whole of the Prussian army is in actual movement, and that a considerable body of Saxons have already taken the field. One of these letters mentions, in positive terms, that preparations were making in Silesia for the accommodation of a Russian army. Notwithstanding these assurances, we can place no reliance on the magnanimity of his Prussian majesty. Were he again to swear on the tomb of the Great Frederick; what would it be to France but a fresh pledge of imbecility and cowardice?
The Gazette Extraordinary , upon the subject of the brilliant victory over Calabria, will, we are persuaded, be read with equal pride and interest by every man deserving the name of Briton, as affording an additional splendid instance of the decided superiority of British prowess over that of the implacable enemy, by whom we have so often been menaced with destruction. The enemy, it will be seen, had every advantage on their side; superior numbers (7000 to 4795! the material aid of cavalry and a position of great strength and difficulty. All these however, were ineffectual against the ardour and steadiness of our gallant countrymen, who, with little more than two-thirds their numbers, covered them with confusion, defeat, and disgrace. Never, perhaps was a victory, under similar circumstances, more glorious or decisive! The head quarters of Massena were, according to the accounts from Naples of the 12th ult. near Cassano, almost 70 miles from where Regnier was defeated, by whom, as well as Verdier, he was joined.
That the insurrection, as the Gallo-Neapolitan Monitor calls it, has assumed a most formidable aspect, is evident from this, than King Joseph has found it necessary to put himself at the head of one of the divisions of the army. In order to put a stop to the barbarities exercised by the French upon the Calabrian Royalists, General Stuart has been under the necessity of threatening to retaliate upon the prisoners, upwards of 3000 in number, which the chance of war has thrown into our hands.
An official account published by his Sicilian majesty brings the accounts from Calabria down to the end of July, to which period our troops continued victorious. Whether or not they continue to maintain their position in Calabria, we cannot possibly pretend to say. We are however rather inclined to think that they have long ere this returned to Sicily. It would have been impossible to make head against the immense force collected against them.
The Hamburg mail due last Wednesday which arrived yesterday has brought several important articles of intelligence. The recent conduct of Russia, has produced a very strong sensation in the North of Germany. It has invigorated the spirit and exertions of Prussia, who is said not only to have refused to accede to the insolent demands of Buonaparte, but to have required that Germany should be evacuated by the French . A courier was momentarily expected at Berlin from Paris, whose dispatches, it was supposed, would decide as to the nature of the future relations between France and Prussia.
The refusal of the emperor Alexander to ratify the treaty with France has been followed by much diplomatic and military activity on the part of the court of St. Petersburg. Couriers were dispatched both to Vienna and Berlin, with letters personally addressed to the respective sovereigns. About the same time a fresh order was issued for a new levy of recruits, which, when completed, will raise the Russian army to the immense number of 600,000 effective men, 150,000 of which are upon the frontiers.
The intelligence of the refusal of the emperor Alexander to ratify the treaty with France, was also received from Mr. Thornton at Hamburg, whilst the cabinet council was sitting yesterday upon the dispatches from Paris. The council fate from half past 2 to half past 3; and, on its breaking up, dispatches were sent off to Paris by Mr. Parsons, the Messenger, with the determination of the cabinet upon the dispatches received from Lauderdale. He left London at 8 o'clock, with directions to use the utmost expedition. A messenger was also despatched to the Russian ambassador, who is now in the neighbourhood of Southampton.
Letters from Holland, of the 30th ult. confirm the report of the French and Dutch troops having entered Embden, and taken possession of that city in the name of the king of Holland.—The keys and MSS of the place were delivered up to them, it is stated, without the slightest resistance.
An account was also received, that king Louis had made a demand on the king of Prussia of five millions of florins, as a debt due to the republic. This requisition is also said to have been accompanied with a threat, that in case of refusal he would invade Prussia with the Dutch army, consisting of 36,000 men, and a French force of 60,000, which is to be furnished on the occasion, according to a treaty between France and Holland.
September 8.
A Supplement to the Gazette Extraordinary , announcing the brilliant victory of our troops in Calabria, was yesterday published. In this we have a letter from Colonel Macleod, stating the capture of Cotrone, and the total flight of the French from the two Calabrias. This brings the events in that part of Italy down to the end of July, and it is worthy of remark, that though we have the French accounts from Naples down to the 16th of August,
there is not an insinuation that they have presumed to re-enter the strong posts from which they were driven. Nothing in the military annals of the revolution is superior to the skill, gallantry, and success with which our brave army conducted itself in this expedition.
The report of the physicians of Mr. secretary Fox was yesterday, that the water had happily dispersed, his limbs were restored to their usual size, and that the urinary secretion was abundant, and of the most favourable character. He continues weak, and they are now administering powerful medicines to restore the action of the vessels, and nothing, upon the whole, can be more promising than all the symptoms. He took an airing in the grounds of Chiswick yesterday, and returned highly refreshed by the fineness of the day.
September 9.
Yesterday, at Noon, a cabinet council was held at the Foreign office, for the purpose of taking into consideration the dispatches brought by Mr. Shaw, on Sunday morning. It was attended by all the cabinet ministers in town. Late in the evening, Mr. Basilico and Mr. Smith, messengers, were under orders to set off to Paris, with dispatches for Lord Lauderdale.
Mr. Kay, a messenger, set off for Vienna on Saturday evening last, with dispatches for Mr. Adair.

Downing street, Sept. 6.
A dispatch, of which the following is an extract, was this day received by the right hon. C. J. Fox. His majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, from H. Elliot, esq. late his majesty's envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary at the court of his Sicilian majesty.
Extract of a dispatch from Hugh Elliot, esq. to the right hon. C. J. Fox, dated Palermo, August 5, 1806.
SIR, I enclose herewith the copy of a letter of the 3d of August, which I have received this day from Sir John Stuart. By the surrender of Cotrone, and the retreat of both gen. Verdier and general Regnier, from Upper and Lower Calabria, those provinces are now restored to their legal sovereign. The battle of Maida, upon the 4th of July, will long be recorded, in this part of Europe, as a memorable proof of the superiority of British courage and discipline. Of the 9000 men which general Regnier commanded in the province of Calabria Ulterior, not more than 3000 are left to attempt their retreat towards Puglia; the remainder are all either killed, wounded, or made prisoners. Every fort along the coast, all the depots of stores, ammunition, and artillery, prepared for the attack of Sicily, are become the prey of the victors; and, what perhaps may be considered as even of still more consequence than these advantages, an indelible impression is established of the superior bravery and discipline of the British troops. There is not perhaps to be found, in the annals of military transactions, an enterprise prepared with more deliberate reflection, or executed with greater decision, promptitude, and success, than the late invasion of Calabria by Sir John Stuart.
Extract of a dispatch from Major-General Sir John Stuart, to Hugh Elliot, Esq. dated Messina, 3d August, 1806.
Having occasion to send an express to my aide-camp, Capt. Bulkeley, at Palermo, I avail myself of the opportunity to acquaint you with another fortunate result of our auspicious day at Maida. Cotrone, with all its stores, magazines, &c. and 600 troops (now prisoners), capitulated on Wednesday evening last to the land and naval forces of his Britannic majesty, under lieut. col. M c Leod, of the 78th regiment, and capt. Hoste, of his majesty's frigate Amphion , who were assisted in their operations against that place, and upon the adjacent coasts, by the gun-boats of his Sicilian majesty.—Three hundred prisoners, who prove to be survivors of the wounded after the action of the 4th ult. are already arrived in this port. General Regnier, who had endeavoured to hold his position, under much embarrassment for some time past, between Cotrone and Catanzora, has retreated precipitately towards Tarento; and it was reported, when the transport left Cotrone, that he had been attacked by the masse, and had lost 6 or 700 hundred of his flying people. I am now to congratulate you on the total evacuation of Calabria Ultra, in which single province, previous to the action of the 4th, we have every certainty that the enemy had a distributed force of at least 9000 men; of these, when general Regnier quitted his position near Cotrone, certainly not 3000 remained. The losses of the French in Upper Calabria have also borne a proportion. A great deal of heavy ordnance, lately transported by the French to Cotrone, besides what was found mounted on the Castle, amounting in the whole to about 40 pieces, have fallen into our hands.
Downing-street, Sept. 6, 1806.
A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, has been received by the right hon. William Windham, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state, from general the right hon. H. E. Fox, commander of his majesty's forces in the Mediterranean.
Messina, 3d August, 1806.
SIR, I have the honour of enclosing to you the capitulation of Cotrone, as well as extracts of two letters received this day from lieut. col. M c Leod, of the 78th regiment, and addressed to major-general Sir John Stuart, who had detached that officer for the purpose of giving support to the armed peasantry on the adjacent coast, and of making an attack on that place itself. Lieutenant-colonel M c Leod appears to have conducted himself with the greatest judgment and activity in this service, and to have received the most ready co-operation and essential assistance from captain Hoste, of his majesty's ship Amphion , who has all along acted in conjunction with him. I have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) H. E. Fox.
Right Hon. W. Windham, &c. &c. &c. Extract of a letter from Lieut. Colonel M c Leod, to Major General Sir John Stuart, dated Amphion frigate, off Cotrone, 27th July, 1806.
By the letter I had the honour of addressing to you on the 24th instant, accompanying the duplicates of my letters of the preceding evening, you will be aware that it was my intention to move in
conjunction with captain Hoste's squadron, to this place on the following day, under an impression, that a faint on the enemy's rear, and this his sole remaining depot, would induce him to divide his force, and of course make it so much the more easy for the Chiefs of the Masse to succeed in their projected attacks on his position at Catanzano. The fleet got under weigh accordingly at eight o'clock p. m. and the following morning (although a considerable distance from the shore) I had the satisfaction to observe the French army in full retreat towards Cotrone. As their route or road appeared to run nearly parallel to, and within gun-shot of the beach, and to be bounded on the opposite side by a chain of mountains, no better opportunity could be offered, for an effectual co-operation with the Masse. With this view Captain Hoste made a prompt disposition of his frigate and small craft, while the transports were directed to make sail towards a point considerably in front of the enemy's column, and to make a demonstration of landing there. This appearance occasioned, in the first instance, a halt of the enemy's column; and in the next, a change of its direction towards the mountains. Capt. Hoste was enabled, however, to open a brisk cannonade on his centre and rear, which appeared to be immediately affected by it; and in an hour's time occasioned those parts of his column to break and disperse in the mountains. The enemy's loss in this affair amounted to 50 or 60 wounded, who were brought in waggons to Cotrone this morning. After the dispersion of the enemy in the mountains, the fleet made sail towards this place, his supposed destination, where the frigate and transports came to anchor, after exchanging a few shot with the citadel, at eight in the evening. In the morning we discovered that the enemy's army had not yet arrived; but under an anxious expectation for their appearance, a disposition was made with the transports and men of war to give him every possible assistance; and accordingly, having permitted him quickly to take up his position within gun-shot, the frigate's broadside was brought to bear upon him, and, in the space of half an hour, completely dislodged and obliged him to take up a new position without the range of her guns, in the mountains.
Amphion frigate off Cotrone, 6 P. M. July 29.
SIR, Several appearances in the French encampment, concurring with other information I had received on the evening of the 27th, that the enemy meditated a move, I thought it proper to detain a communication I had prepared for you on that day, until I could convey more decided intelligence on this important subject. I have now the utmost satisfaction in acquainting you, that the greatest part of the French army retreated, in a northerly direction, from Cotrone, just before day-light on the morning of the 28th ult. Immediately on obtaining this information I despatched expresses to the different chiefs of the Masse, requiring them to concert arrangements for a close pursuit, and pointed out the many advantages they must consequently have over a flying and dispirited enemy in their mountains. I have, however, not yet been able, through any source to discover, satisfactorily, by which of the routes to the northward he had retired. Some state it to be in the direction of Tarento, to join a small force in that province; others as positively assert, that he is endeavouring to pass by the mountains to Cosenza, and by that route to Cassano. Such is the imperfect intelligence I have on this point, that I have not yet been able to determine so important a question.
The enemy's route from this city has been marked by circumstances of the most cruel devastation. The village of Strongoli, with several others within our view, which he conceived hostile to his cause, have been ransacked and burnt to the ground.
Our information of yesterday stated, that 1000 men had been left to garrison the town and city of Cotrone. But several deserters, who joined us this morning, having mentioned that the greatest part of this force had marched to join their army in the course of the night, captain Hoste agreed with myself in the propriety of summoning the town and citadel to surrender to the force under our orders, conceiving that the immediate possession of what we understood to be the enemy's sole dépôt , and his dernier resort in Lower Calabria, in point of position, together with the removal of his stores, &c. might contribute to prevent his attempt to re-enter the province.
I have now the pleasure to enclose copies of the summons, and of the terms of capitulation finally agreed upon between us. I trust our judgment in this proceeding will be confirmed by your approbation.
I shall find it, however, necessary to disembark a considerable part of my battalion this day to cover the evacuation of the town and citadel, and to superintend the completion of the other articles of the capitulation. After which I shall immediately re-embark, and propose to make the best of my way to Messina on the 2d or 3d of August, unless previously I may receive such information as may alter my opinion, that the French have completely evacuated Lower Calabria for the present.
I am sorry to say, that a good deal of sickness has prevailed in the 78th, since it sailed, in consequence of their previous fatigues, and that it has lost eight men. The disease is, however, not spreading; and having appointed an hospital ship, I trust its progress will be completely checked. This unpleasant circumstance will hasten my return to Messina, unless I receive contrary instructions.
The number of prisoners and deserters now with this fleet amount to about 500, of which number one half and upwards are sick and wounded.
The enemy being, I believe, now completely driven from the Lower, if not both Calabrias, I cannot resist this opportunity of offering my congratulations on so brilliant a result to the expedition undertaken by the army under your immediate command, which cannot but be recorded in the British annals, as an achievement of the first order.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) P. M c LEOD. Maj. Gen. Sir John Stuart, &c.
I have just received intelligence, which I can rely upon, that the route which the enemy pursued yesterday was by Strongoli and Cino, and I am to conclude, he will pursue that route coastways to Cassano.
Copy of the summons to the French garrison of Cotrone.
The officers commanding the naval and land forces of his Britannic majesty, hereby summon you

to surrender the town and citadel of Cotrone to the British force now before it.
The officer who delivers this summons to you, is directed to lay before you such articles of capitulation as we are disposed to grant, and to wait one hour for your answer.
Being perfectly aware of your present circumstances, you may believe that this summons is dictated under mature deliberation, and with a view of saving that effusion of blood which must be the consequence of a resistance on your part.
(Signed) W. HOSTE, commanding his Britannick majesty's squadron. P. M'LEOD, commanding his Britannick majesty's troops.
To the officer commanding the French garrison in Cotrone.
Terms of capitulation finally agreed upon between the officers commanding the British sea and land forces, and those commanding the French troops in the citadel of Cotrone.
Art. I. The French troops are to march out of the citadel of Cotrone at ten o'clock A. M. the 30th July, 1806, with the honours of war, to that part of the beach where the flag of truce was this day received, and there deposit their arms, and immediately after embark on board of transports, to be sent to Messina, where they are to be considered prisoners of war till regularly exchanged.
Art. II. The sick and wounded are in a similar manner to be sent to Messina, attended by their own surgeons and assistants, and are afterwards to be considered and exchanged as prisoners of war.
Art. III. Officers are permitted to wear their swords, and are to be considered as prisoners of war until exchanged.
Art. IV. The troops of his Britannick majesty will preserve order and tranquillity in the city.
Art. V. All private property which belongs, bona fide, to either officers or soldiers, will be respected.
Art. VI. All public property that there may be, is to be delivered over, with a proper inventory, to the officer who takes possession of the place.
Art. VII. The surgeons will attend their own sick and wounded, as mentioned in article II. but all civilians who have attended the French army will be considered as prisoners of war, in consequence of the principle established by the French government during the present war.
Art. VIII. The British troops will take possession of the gates of the town of Cotrone between eight and ten o'clock tomorrow morning: the French garrison will march out of the citadel at ten o'clock A. M. precisely, and be immediately embarked for Messina, agreeably to article I.
(Signed) W. HOSTE, commanding his Britannick majesty's squadron. P. M'LEOD, lieut. col. commanding 2d 78th regt.

STATE PAPERS.—PROCLAMATION.
Sir John Stuart, Knight of the grand imperial order of the Great Crescent, general and commander in chief of the troops of his Britannick majesty landed in Calabria.
CALABRIANS—I have landed among you a numerous corps of British troops; other debarkations will likewise be made on your coast.
We come to aid your loyalty, and to deliver you from the oppression of the French, under which you groan.
The standard of Ferdinand IV. is again unfurled on your shores. Hasten to unite yourselves with us, and to gather around it. Hasten to re-establish the rights of your beneficent and legitimate sovereign. A Usurper has dared to stain his throne of Naples, and has had the presumption to call you his subjects.
Reflect on the wrongs and the injuries for which the tears of your suffering country flow. Recollect the insults and outrages to which your venerable parents, your wives and your daughters are exposed. It now depends upon your own courage whether you shall obtain redress.
I come among you only as your friend and deliverer. I ask merely quarters from you. I require no contributions; the provisions furnished shall be punctually paid for. I shall provide you with arms & ammunition to be employed in your own defence, and whatever wants may arise among you, they shall be immediately supplied.
You laws, and your customs shall be maintained, your holy religion and its ceremonies shall be honoured and respected.
From what has been experienced by your brethren in Sicily, you may judge of the rectitude of our conduct, and of our discipline.
Your faithful countrymen, whom oppression had driven from among you, have returned with me, to give you liberty.
Repress your private animosities, be united among yourselves, and renounce all party spirit.
I am not come to punish you for delusions which are past, but to guard you from them in future. None shall suffer except those who persist in error, and who shew a disposition to oppose us. All others shall be recompensed in proportion to their fidelity and the aid they afford.
Those who have been misled shall, upon laying down their arms, receive pardon and protection.
Head-quarters at St. Euphemia, July 1, 1806.
PROCLAMATION.
Sir John Stuart, knight of the grand imperial Order of the Great Crescent, general and commander in chief of the troops of his Britannick majesty landed in Calabria.
The British army under my command having with the help of the Almighty, obtained a great signal victory over the French army, commanded by general Regnier, and having compelled the remains of the enemy's army to fly with terror and opprobrium before the victorious English troops, and to leave to us the entire possession of this province of Thither Calabria.
I inform you, O Calabrians, by the present proclamation, this happy success, and desire you to join with me in pursuing the common enemy, and in establishing among you the authority of your august and legitimate sovereign, Ferdinand IV. whose royal standard is once more happily planted with joy and glory among you.
I have already informed you, in my former Proclamation, that I wish for no contribution; all the provisions, forage, and other supplies which shall be furnished by you to the British army, shall be paid for immediately.
As a proof of your fidelity and attachment to your sovereign, I require you to give us all your assistance; and for that purpose arms and ammunition shall be furnished you. These however, will not be given you to be used for your private vengeance, but to be employed against the common enemy.
The British army has not come among you to afford you an opportunity for indulging in your private animosities, but to protect and deliver you from French tyranny. Good order must be maintained. Those who shall unite themselves with us, and obey my orders, shall, notwithstanding any former connection with the enemy, be pardoned and protected. On the contrary, all those who, under any pretext whatsoever, shall refuse to give us their assistance, shall be punished with rigour.
While I congratulate you on the fortunate success of our arms, I am anxious that humanity should accompany their progress. Above all, I charge you to treat the prisoners that may fall into your power well. I further command to send out constantly parties of patrols, to collect the stragglers and wounded in your mountains and forest.
For every prisoner you conduct in safety to the British army you shall be rewarded. I promise to give you six ducats for each private, and twenty ducats for each officer.
J. STUART. Head-Quarters at Meida, July 7, 1806.
ROYAL DECREE.
Beloved and faithful People of Calabria.—The Divine Providence has liberated you from the severe oppression of the French invaders, and again placed you under my legitimate dominion, by the aid of my most potent Ally the king of Great Britain, seconded by mine and your assistance.
The gallant British general, Chevalier Stuart, who worthily commands the forces in those provinces, in his execution has completely fulfilled the orders of his sovereign, and has answered faithfully to the confidence which I reposed in him, and to the full authority and power conferred on him for the purpose of obtaining your liberation—this power, which I am about to manifest by the present royal decree, and to confirm in his person, extending it at the same time to all the other provinces of my kingdom of Naples, in which the British troops may arrive, under his command. The recent battle which he fought in Campo di Maida, before your eyes, against the French army, and the total defeat of the latter, will be an event for ever memorable in the history of the times, and an eternal monument of the valour of the illustrious general Stuart, and his brave troops. He, in my royal name, will continue to attend to your defence and security, and to direct the operations which are to take place for the restoration of good order, and of my royal authority, and also for your advantage. Through him will be announced to you my royal determinations, tending to accomplish the abovementioned objects. You, therefore, beloved people of Calabria, and of the other provinces of my kingdom of Naples, in which general Stuart shall arrive with his victorious army—you, who have at all times given constant proofs of your fidelity and attachment to my royal person, execute with good will whatever you may be ordered to do by this gallant general in my royal name. Hasten to support him with all your forces and means. Aid in every way his operations, which are directed to your relief and security, and be persuaded that I shall leave no means untried to prevent your peace from being again disturbed, and to secure to you and your families the enjoyment of days more joyful and less hazardous.—Given at Palermo, July 10, 1806.
(Signed) FERDINAND.
PROCLAMATION
Of Sir J. Stuart, Knight of the Grand Imperial Order of the Great Crescent, and Commander in
Chief of the troops of his Britannick Majesty, landed in Calabria.
I have been informed, that since the battle of the 4th inst. some of the persons attached to the French cause, and supported by some detachment of their troops, have been guilty of the most atrocious enormities, in plundering the villages and assassinating the inhabitants, under the pretext of punishing them for their demonstrations of attachment to the cause of their legitimate sovereign.
I have also learned that the enemy, under the same pretext, has subjected the district of Cotrone to military chastisement; and that at the French head quarters the same intention has been declared with respect to the whole of the country which they have occupied in their flight.
Wherever the British army has advanced, submission has always been recompensed by protection. I have forbidden any animadversions to be cast upon past opinions. I have prohibited all past animosities, and to encourage the peasants to behave with humanity towards the French soldiers who since their late defeat have been dispersed in the woods and mountains I offered a liberal reward for every prisoner who should be brought unhurt to the British Camp, and by these means I have preserved the lives of many hundred men.
In return for this, plunder and devastation have marked the retreat of the enemy; and it was a crime in the peasants to have witnessed the discomfiture and dishonour of his arms.
On this subject it therefore becomes necessary for me to appeal to the recollection of the French commanders, and to state, not only that many of their declared and known partisans are in my power, but that the signal success of the army under my command placed in my hands above three thousand prisoners. If, therefore, such violences are not put an end to in future, I shall not only deem myself justifiable, but even compelled by duty, to have recourse to the severe, but indispensable Law of Reprisals.
Head-Quarters at Bagnaro. (Signed) J. STUART. July 18, 1806.
INTERCEPTED LETTERS.
General Berthier, Chief of the Staff, to General Regnier. NAPLES, July 8, 1806.
GENERAL,
His majesty received by M. Jamin, the details of the landing of the enemy, and of the dispositions which you had made. His majesty is extremely vexed, and still more surprised at the conduct of the troops, which has rendered your well judged dispositions unavailing. The 1st regiment of light infantry ought to have remembered that it had before shown itself afraid of the English, and since that epoch they may have learned to make it fly; but the other corps had given proofs that they formerly knew how to march forward, accompanied always by victory. His majesty does not know to what at this moment of shameful panic ought to be ascribed; but he flatters himself by the time you receive this letter the troops will be recovered from their delusion, or rather that they will have recollected that they are Frenchmen. His majesty desires that it may be made known to the troops, that he wishes the emperor to remain ignorant of the extent of their neglect of duty, and he looks forward to fresh details, which he hopes will prove that those you have under your command are Frenchmen.
His majesty sends 1200 men to reinforce general Verdier, with instructions, a copy of which is transmitted to you. He orders the troops to defile above Cassano, which is a central spot, and in the possession of which, they will be able to direct their march wherever their presence may be necessary. His majesty expected a landing of the English, at the moment when the attack was to be made on Gaeta, in order to make a diversion for raising the siege, and to cut off all Calabria by the event, which has happened to you. His majesty now desires you to abandon all Higher Calabria, and consequently requires you to take a position before Catanzaro, if the enemy be not already masters of it, or of any other position you may judge more suitable for arresting his progress, preserving always a retreat by Cassano, that, under all possible events, you may be able to join our forces, in order to assume the offensive; for his majesty rather wishes that the enemy should disembark on that coast, than in the neighbourhood of Naples, where the moral effect of their presence might be still more dangerous. His majesty desires that you will send him accounts of your observations on the situation of the enemy, as often as possible. He has given orders for issuing pay & subsistence money to the troops.
I have the honour to salute you, Monsieur General, with the most marked consideration.
(Signed) C. BERTHIER. General of Division and Chief of the Staff.
General Verdier to General Regnier. Matera, July 15, 1806.
GENERAL,
I have withstood, as well as I was able, the whole rebel population of the province, which has attacked me near Cosenza, from the 1st to the 6th current. I have received information by his majesty's aid-de-camp Jamin, of your engagement, and your retreat upon Cotrone. In consequence of my ammunition being wasted, and 260 of my troops killed or wounded, joined to the unpleasant accounts of your situation, I determined to proceed to Cassano, and wishing as much to avoid fighting at Castro, Villaro, and Morana, which I knew to be in a state of insurrection, as to cover your retreat upon that point, in case you should have continued your movement in that direction. When I arrived before Cassano, I found the people in insurrection, and I had to open a passage through them, and to take the town by main force; in doing which I lost many men, and exhausted all the cartridges I still had remaining. While the place was taking, I had to sustain an attack, sword in hand, from noon to four o'clock P. M. We at last succeeded, without fire arms, in repulsing the vast multitude of daring peasants. I took advantage of the obscurity of the night to remove to this quarter; the only place where I can hope to procure succours in men and ammunition, and to avoid the massacre of my troops, who are without the means of defending themselves.
On arriving at Policoro, I found an officer of the staff, was charged with the annexed dispatches for you, by which I learn that some reinforcements are to be sent to us. The messenger not being able to continue his route to you, I have sent him back to
Naples, and forward the dispatches to you by the ordinary communication which remains open to us which is the sea.
I expect that when his majesty learns our real situation, he will take measures to relieve us from the embarrassing circumstances in which we are placed.
The relation of all that has occurred to me being too voluminous to be conveyed to you at this moment, I have merely sent it to the Staff, intending to transmit you a copy at a more favourable opportunity.

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