BRITISH CONSUL'S OFFICE,
Norfolk, Virginia,

On Monday last, WILLIAM KING, and WILLIAM LINDSAY, Esquires, were elected delegates to the General Assembly, from the County of Norfolk.
Same day the election for a Senator for this district determined in favour of THOMAS SHEPHERD, Esquire, by a very large majority.
The Hon: THOMAS NEWTON, Jun. was re-elected representative in the Congress of the United States, without opposition.
By Captain Gould's packet, we have received Baltimore Papers of Friday, Saturday, and Monday last. These have furnished us with some articles of great importance as relates to the West-Indies.—They will be found in our subsequent columns. A passenger in Captain Ferguson's packet obligingly favoured us with one paper of Saturday; but we do not find in it any thing interesting.
There are letters from Guadalupe, at Baltimore, as late as the 3rd of March, which make no mention of a junction of the French fleets, nor of the taking of Trinidad.—The letter simply says "The French have done no further mischief"—The accounts from the Mediterranean, also tend to discredit the report, and to stamp the character of forgery on the French letter, said to have been received at Baltimore.
Other accounts confirm the report of an English fleet having been at Madeira, and state that it was commanded by Admiral Cochrane.
We hope our miscellaneous readers will not be alarmed by the unusual length of the following discourse, from our friendly correspondent, the Lay-Curate; they will perhaps find that it is calculated to reward the few minutes attention which it may require.
FOR THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
THE LAY-CURATE.
DISCOURSE IX.
"STUDY TO BE QUIET—AND TO MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS."
Not the Argives only but the Macedonians, not only the citizens of Athens but also those of Thessalonica, it would appear, were in the habit of neglecting their own individual concerns, from a preference for the affairs of their neighbours. The Lyceum and the Areopagus of the one, the Exchange and the Market-Place of the other, were frequently crowded with idlers, whose chief employment and gratification consisted in little else than "either to hear or to tell something new."
For the correction of such habits was the advice in the text originally designed: and to such dispositions, wherever found; whether in the pragmatical New-England-Man, who must know of every man respecting his business, or in the restless and ambitious Virginian, whose attention is more taken up with politics than with the affairs of his farm or family; will the counsel peculiarly apply,—"study to be quiet—and to mind your own business."
It is not, however, to characterise societies of men, but to bring the admonition home to individuals, that the LAY-CURATE has chosen this saying of PAUL. It contains the choicest maxims of economical prudence; and the Apostle delivers it with all the earnestness of a salutary exhortation. It presents two distinct precepts; the one of a private, quiescent nature, "study to be quiet"—that is, endeavour not to be offensive, or turbulent, or troublesome;—and the other enjoining a positive active duty—"mind your own business."
The observance of the first part of this advice appears to be so expedient, and, at the same time, so easy, that one might imagine that a simple recommendation would have been sufficient: but so thought not the Apostle. The seriousness of his manner, shews his sense not only of the necessity but also of the difficulty of the task he was imposing. It is not in the preceptive form "be quiet", but in the imperative style of exhortation "study to be quiet":—as if he had said—"it is essentially important that you should be at the greatest pains to correct that pragmatical disposition which leads you to intermeddle in affairs with which you have no concern. This is at best idle; is frequently productive of much mischief. Indulge not in a supposition that a discussion of the faults, the failings, or the misfortunes of others, is quite harmless; unless you can be conscious that it originated in a desire to do them good. Do not beguile yourselves into a belief that the habit, though apparently unintentional, once at the foibles or mischances of your neighbour, is without the pale of this precept; even though it may not be construed to his prejudice. Rest assured that it is not in conformity to the spirit or the example of those who "study to be quiet."
But the second is the most important, and indeed the primary, part of the injunction:—"mind your own business;" upon which the former might very properly be supposed to be superinduced; from which quietude would seem to proceed as a corollary:—For those who pay strict attention to their own affairs, have but little farther progress to make in that part of discretion; and will find that to be quiet with respect to the concerns of other people is then a task of very easy performance.
This injunction is obviously meant to promote industry; a habit so laudable that it may be said to comprehend both negative and positive virtue: to embrace the acquisition of independence, which is a duty; and the extinction of the desires and fruits of idleness, which are of the nature of crimes. It is a duty to be independent, as far as man,
al or mental labour can make us so; and to neglect the use of these necessary means is the reverse of what is becoming and praiseworthy; is the opposite both of the Cardinal and Theological Virtues. "The soul of the sluggard desireth and hath nothing; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich." That which advances the dignity and promotes the happiness of a rational and intellectual being, is an obligation that seems to be imposed upon him by the law of Nature; an obligation not to be disregarded without disobeying that Law, which is a deviation from moral rectitude.
To illustrate and enforce this doctrine would not require much art; nor would it be difficult to find many instances in real life where its observance and neglect have been mutually exemplified. At present, however, the LAY-CURATE will conclude with an Apologue from a Greek Philosopher, who flourished towards the close of the second century, and which has been preserved by the lucky partiality of one of the FATHERS. But before he proceeds he must be allowed to say a word or two concerning the author.
ATHENAGORAS was an Athenian. He was the first of that sect of Philosophers who called themselves Eclecticks: and to him we are principally indebted for the little we do know of the domestic manners of the Greeks of that period, delineated in his romances; of which but a small comparative portion has survived the wreck of learning. He afterwards became a convert to Christianity, and wrote several treatises in its defence, all of which have been preserved. To the French Clergy the learned world is much indebted for the best Editions of the Fathers; whose works they have with uncommon zeal and diligence collated and revised. But here follows the Apologue, or Anecdote, for it seems to have the appearance of truth: we are not, however, told whether it was written before or subsequent to his conversion to Christianity.
"Among the mountains on the south side of Boeotia lived a young swain named SOSTHENES; who having frequent occasion to go down into the plains of ATTICA, became acquainted with a young woman, whose father was one of the most respectable inhabitants of the village in which they lived, and was by right a citizen of Athens. In his house the youth was entertained; and his visits became the more interesting on account of PHILLIDA, whose company he found peculiarly agreeable to him, as well from the pleasure he took in doing or saying those things that pleased her, as from the observation of the satisfaction she evinced in being so pleased. He soon discovered that he was miserable when absent from her, and could not picture to himself any mode of happiness, however Fortune might otherwise bless him, unless she shared with him in its enjoyment."
"After a long probation, and after having consulted his own heart as to the necessity, and his knowledge of life as to the prudence, of making a declaration, he one day avowed his sentiments with all the sincerity of a pure attachment; and was proceeding to say that his hopes and his happiness were at her disposal;—but, before he had finished, she very calmly observed to him, that she was sorry to think he should have permitted any portion of his peace or contentment to rest on that issue;—very sorry he had changed the ground of their fellowship:—that as a friend she had always considered him; but that she owed to justice and to herself to say that she could own no softer feeling: and that she would still be happy in his acquaintance, as a friend, if he could maintain it on that footing."
"SOSTHENES was confounded by this reply. There appeared so much of sincerity in her air and manner, that he could not doubt of her truth: yet there was so much of softness in the expressions respecting the circumstances, and the desire of the continuance of their friendship was so sweetly conveyed, that the painful feeling which arose from the destruction of his fondly cherished hopes was, in a great degree, deprived of its poignancy."
"In deep dejection he took his leave; but he could not cease to think of PHILLIDA. Her welfare still continued to be the first concern of his heart. He thought he could not see any reason why he should not continue his friendship and his visits. His visits were well received; for she thought that she owed some gratitude for an attachment so unequivocal. Alas! he dreamt not of the additional stock of regret he was laying up for himself!"
"PHILLIDA though she could not reciprocate the warm sentiments entertained for her by SOSTHENES, was alive to their power from another quarter. Young SOSPATER, from a neighbouring village, had sought her society, had endeavoured to make himself agreeable, and, possessing those qualities and dispositions which she thought most congenial with her own, had succeeded in winning her heart."
"SOSTHENES meanwhile continued ignorant of the rise and progress of this attachment, until a certain time when a publick festival at Athens induced them all to repair thither. Upon such occasions as these it is that sentiments of this kind are more easily elicited: so it happened with SOSPATER and PHILLIDA. The obvious pleasure she seemed to take in his company and attentions; her smiles of peculiar approbation when listening to his remarks; and many other little preferences; opened the eyes of SOSTHENES. He could scarcely doubt that her heart was given to his rival; for as such he seemed now to consider SOSPATER. He felt real anguish at the discovery: yet he neither knew how to complain, nor how to redress the supposed injury."
"In this dilemma he applied to his friend ARISTIDES, the Philosopher; beseeching him to hear his story, and guide him by his counsel. He told him of his attachment, of his avowal of it, and of the situation in which he then stood; begged him to solve his doubts from his own observation; and to give him the advice which a confirmation of them
might render necessary. ARISTIDES had not long to observe before he found out the true state of the case: and when SOSTHENES next called upon him, he addressed him in the following manner."
"My young friend, you have been the dupe of your own sensibility. PHILLIDA may justly value your friendship; but her every look and action indicate something very distinct from that sentiment which you cherish. You ought to have been satisfied with her first declaration. Love is an involuntary affection: It is not the result of Reasoning. Your friends and the world may esteem you as highly at least as SOSPATER; yet without endeavouring to ascertain why she should have seen cause of preference, it is sufficient to know the fact. It remains therefore that you adopt, promptly, the means whereby you may be restored to your former tranquillity: and although I may prove but a feeble comforter, a weak director, yet, since you request it, my advice shall not be withheld."
"My life has been, as you know, devoted to the study of wisdom, and the acquisition of knowledge. In the Lyceum of the Peripateticks, and in the Portico of the Stoicks, I have benefited by sublime speculations on the nature of man and his duties, from the disciples of Aristotle and Zeno; in the Garden of Epicurus I have listened to dissertations on the nature and means of happiness; while from the Scepticks I have heard such propositions and problems as would tend to leave every thing in doubt and uncertainty. I cannot but say that I have acquired some knowledge of the human heart, its desires and propensities; of the affinity between motive and action; between cause and effect. But my thirst for knowledge was not yet satiated. From another sect of Philosophers I have also learned wisdom: from some of their maxims I would have you to derive advantage. Your father may remember when their first Philosopher, PAUL from Palestine, appeared in this city. The novelty of his doctrines excited not only curiosity but commotion; and one of our Senators became a convert to them. He was summoned before our supreme tribunal to account for his strange opinions: his answers and defence produced universal astonishment; and he was dismissed. He afterwards sojourned in Corinth and Macedonia nearly two years; and the number of his followers has been increasing more and more."
"I thought no further of his doctrines until a few years ago, when having occasion to go into Macedonia, and not intending to travel through Thessaly, I went over into Eubœa, embarked at Corinth in a small vessel, passed the promontory of Sapias, found myself in a few days at the head of the Thermaick Gulph, and debarked at Thessalonica."
"There are in Thessalonica great numbers of this sect, who meet, weekly, in an assembly which they call a Church. Thither I repaired to observe their mode of worship; and found that their Priest, beside an address to the Deity, read portions of a certain book, which they call Biblos, or the Bible, by way of distinction. Afterwards he read a letter, or epistle, from their Chief Philosopher, PAUL, in pursuance of his instructions; to which I paid particular attention. It certainly contained some sublime doctrines: if they are all true, they are of great consequence to mankind; and I mean to examine them with much attention. Towards the conclusion of this letter, he gives an excellent advice, which is plain to the meanest capacity, but not the less valuable on that account. To this advice, my dear young friend, I would recommend you to pay particular regard; for it was to this point that I have engaged in the present relation respecting this Philosopher. After having reminded them of his former instructions, enlarged upon some points of doctrine, and exhorted them on benevolence, he adds the maxim which my memory has treasured—"Study to be quiet—and to mind your own business."
"This, my young friend, contains more important advice, clothed as it is in the simplest garb, than is to be obtained from all the daily lectures of our most renowned schools. Ever since I heard I have been endeavouring to exemplify it, and to recommend it to others, as one of the best maxims of life. Consider, therefore, how you may apply it to your own case. Engage in some honourable and profitable pursuit: endeavour to be quiet with respect to SOSPATER and PHILLIDA: reflect that your sympathy or joy in the issue of their attachment is not expected by them: that this being an affair of their own, so is its consequence: that benevolence does not comprehend supererrogation; that success in matters of this kind is not the unequivocal test of merit: and that yours is not the most irremediable of life's misfortunes. It is, therefore, expedient that you suit your sorrow to your disappointment. Should it even appear to you to be the greatest; still the only way to conquer is to resist. The career of success which may attend your industrious pursuits, will habitually diminish your regrets; at least the interest they will excite must contribute to this diminution."
"When your happiness shall be thus restored, it will give me pleasure to pay you a visit. Perhaps we may consult together respecting this Christian Philosophy; which I am told is spreading very rapidly at Corinth: and if we have seen the practical wisdom of one of its precepts, we may be able without prejudice to examine the truth of its doctrines, which are apparently so far superior to all that have yet been received into any of our schools."
"SOSTHENES was greatly comforted and instructed by the words of Aristides. He quitted him with the warmest expressions of gratitude; went to Corinth; engaged in an active business; attached himself to the society of the Christians; became ultimately a convert to their principles; and in the constant attention which he paid to his own affairs, and to the duties of religion, he forgot, or ceased to regret, his disappointment; lived usefully; and died lamented by all his acquaintances."
Thus ends the fragment of Athenagoras. He has not condescended to inform us whether this Aristides was that Athenian who, with Quadratus, were
the first of the Philosophers who became Christians. Athenagoras must have known this fact, not only because this Aristides flourished not long before his time, but also because he was the biographer of Dionysius, the Areopagite, who was the first convert to Saint Paul; which circumstances must have been well known at Athens at the time he wrote.
A LAY-CURATE.
It is with no small degree of satisfaction that we perceive the principles advocated some time since in this paper, appear to have met, on examination, the approbation of the Enquirer. A writer in that paper under the signature of "Republican," attacked the remarks we then made with some asperity, misrepresented our motives and mistated our opinions. To his remarks we replied; we detected his errors, and exposed his puerile attempts to deceive. He has since very prudently been silent; and this silence we highly commend, as it is a strong expression of a consciousness of error.
The Editor of the Enquirer published several numbers on "The present policy of the federal party." Some of the observations contained in these pieces were very correct; others were very innocent indeed; but there were some very erroneous principles advanced, and improper statements made, which we thought it our duty to notice and expose. Charity forbids us to suspect any intention in the Editor of that paper to misstate the conduct, the character, or the motives, of federal republicans, or endeavour to make unjust impressions on the minds of his readers, of the motives, conduct and true character of those who support the present administration. Charity bids us to impute his errors to prejudices, early imbibed and imperceptibly strengthened by an association with certain political characters, and by the unnumbered and often repeated false statements that have been made of the intentions and the measures of the conscientious opponents of the present ruling party. It is this charity which has induced us not to attribute the erroneous sentiments and assertions, which appeared in the numbers mentioned, to any impurity of intention; and his subsequent silence has tended to confirm the propriety of this charity: for silence in such circumstances must ever be considered a modest tacit acknowledgment of the correctness of opinions advanced by another; and it is all we can ask, for we never can wish to put an adversary to the pain of an unnecessary publick acknowledgment.
We must here beg leave to remark however, that if the editor of any paper devoted to the present administration, is a man of understanding, of talents, and taste, of a high and proper sense of political honesty, that will not allow him to state or innuendo what he knows to be false nor to omit truths that might injure his party, nor to be guilty of low sophisms, nor of little editorial meanness; in short, if he be an enlightened independent man, who may have honestly imbibed some unhappy political prejudices, he will soon be denounced by the violent of his party. This has been the case with many political characters, and with some democratick editors. A genuine democratick editor ought to have no conscience. Conscience is an insuperable bar to the success of democracy. What would Duane have been at this time, if he had been troubled all along with a conscience? Would he have broken into the treasury and published that Pickering had plundered the publick of hundreds of thousands? Would he have repeated these falsehoods till by these means, more than any other, Mr. Jefferson was made president? Would he have neglected to this day to undeceive his readers respecting Mr. Pickering's accounts? Would he have been toasted by all the democrats in the country; by John Thompson Mason, (a candidate for the shoes Judge Chase still wears) "as the man to whom under God America was indebted more than to any other for the change in the administration?" Would he have received histens of thanks from the bounty of the conscientious Mr. Jefferson's administration? Would he have aspired to and have grasped that great dictatorial authority which he possesses, that can bid the United States set apart a day for celebrating the acquisition of Louisiana, that directs the state of Pennsylvania, and overawes the congress of the United States, a vast many of whom even now fear to vote or act in contradiction to his orders, lest they should be denounced? We repeat it, that conscience is an invincible bar to democratick exaltation.
If the editor of the Enquirer shall make a political conscience a constant companion in the prosecution of his editorial career, we foresee he will fall into dispute in the estimation of some violent characters; this however will be tenfold overbalanced by self-approbation, and the esteem of all whose esteem is worth possessing. We hope for the best; we hope it on another consideration—any solitary unnatural union of democratick principles with any pretensions to literary taste or acquirements, must tend to lessen the dignity of the one, or exalt the depravity of the other.
We shall in future fasten a critical eye upon the Enquirer; and whenever we discover any improper principles or statements, our charity will be stretched to the ultimate extent, to impute them to no impurity or disingenuousness of design; and in every exposure of error we shall consider subsequent silence as a candid renunciation.—Virg.

INTELLIGENCE VIA BALTIMORE.
Received by Gould's Packet.
BALTIMORE, April 12—15.
Yesterday (says the N. York Commercial Advertiser of Tuesday last) the country seat belonging to the late General Hamilton, called the Grange, situated at Harlem, was sold at publick auction, at the Tontine Coffee House, and purchased by Archibald Gracie, Esq. for the sum of 30,500 dollars.
The following translated extract of a letter to a French gentleman in this city, is so minute in its details as to have considerable plausibility, were it not opposed by the late Mediterranean news, and by advices from Guadalupe to the 19th March, which latter are silent on the subject: [Fed. Gaz.
"Guadalupe, March 16."
"I have to inform you, that the two French squadrons have united—one from Toulon, and the other from Rochefort. The latter has made terrible havoc amongst the enemy—from seven to eight hundred vessels, large and small, having been taken, sunk, or burnt; besides which, the squadron has raised contributions in all the English Windward Islands. Spanish Trinidad alone, taken by the Toulon squadron, has escaped contribution, as the French have placed a garrison in it, and mean to keep it in their possession. The United squadrons consist of 23 sail of the line and 21 frigates, besides 30 other vessels, such as corvettes, transports, &c. making in all 74 sail. The precise object of the expedition is a profound secret, all the officers having their orders sealed. It is said that there are eighteen thousand men on board this fleet.—You may, if you think proper, communicate the above information to your friends."
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, received by a respectable house in Philadelphia, dated February 23, 1805.
"We beg leave to confirm our last respects to you on the 5th ult.—We apprised you in our last of the blockade of our port by the British commander on this station—He, however, afterwards, an-

announced, that vessels laden with provisions would not be prevented from coming in, and accordingly a number of cargoes of wheat and flour from different quarters have since arrived here. Such, however, has been the urgent demand for both these articles, that the last cargo of 3000 barrels of flour for sale in our bay, has been disposed of at the noble price of 23 1-2 dollars per barrel on board, for the use of our navy, and at ready money. The above price will clearly show how great our wants must be, and to which we must add, that at present there is not a single fanega of wheat or barrel of flour for sale here. Therefore the first importation of either article will undoubtedly command very high prices. We must further add, that we do not expect any material decline in our prices until the collection of our ensuing crop takes place, which according to every appearance, by no means promises to be very abundant. Our government actually permits the produce of wheat and flour to be shipped hence in specie, on paying the customary duty of near 7 per cent.
Flour 23 1-2 dollars per barrel. Wheat 4 1-2 per bushel. Rice 12 per 100 lb. Indian Corn 2 1-2 per bushel. Staves 110 a 120 per 1200.
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated
Maraguane, March 19.
"I have the pleasure to inform you of my safe arrival here from Santa Domingo, which place I left surrounded by the negroes, within musket shot of the walls. Though they are numerous, the city will be able to hold out as long as they have provisions. The garrison is strong say 3000 men. Spanish and French, determined to sell the place as dear as possible. There are now no vessels to take them off; of course, they may as well perish in combat, as be butchered by the negroes, which would doubtless be the case should the city fall."
"General Ferrand has behaved extremely well to the inhabitants. I shall sail to-morrow for New-York, in the schooner Clorinda ."
Captain Garman, arrived at Charleston, in 53 days from Malaga, passed Gibraltar, February 9. Feb. 28, off the Western Islands, was boarded by the British privateer ship Wesmoreland , captain Goodall, 5 days out. He informed captain Garman, that war had been declared between England and Portugal. He also informed, that he had a few days before towed into the Western Islands the ship Rising States , having been out 150 days.
Capt. Jones, of the ship Minerva , from the South Seas, informs, that the Spaniards in that quarter, treat the Americans with much inhumanity. The Minerva put into the port of Valparaiso, for the purpose of procuring provisions and vegetables, but was not suffered to send her boat ashore, though her people were exceedingly distressed with the scurvy.
A letter from Stonington [Connecticut] mentions the arrival at that place on Friday afternoon, of a schooner in 15 days from Martinique, which brings accounts of the CAPTURE OF ANTIGUA by the French squadron.
A seaman came up yesterday afternoon, says the New-York Mercantile Advertiser, in a pilot boat from the sch'r Betsy Fulcher , from Madeira, and informs us that on the 10th of March, a British fleet of men of war, consisting of seven sail of the line, one of which was a three decker, left Madeira, destined (as was supposed) for the West Indies; that two days after they passed the fleet, standing to the westward.
Extract of a letter from the supercargo of the schooner Tickler, to his owners in this port, dated from Cape Francois, the 12th March. 1805.
A brig belonging to New-Berport; the schooner Beauty , captain West, of Baltimore, with three guns; the schooner Webb , captain Webb, of Philadelphia, and the Tickler , captain Frost, all went from here the day before yesterday, bound to Lee-ward. They were not out more than three hours before Jack Mathers came across them. The New-Berport brig being a dull sailer was left behind, in consequence of which made her escape back to the Cape and brought the news that all three of the schooners were chased into Port Francois, where they were all taken. Next morning early, captain Webb arrived here in his boat, and informed us that his schooner and the Beauty were taken, but that captain Frost had beat off the privateer, and had run his schooner ashore, took out all the cash and some other articles; after which he was determined to stick to the Tickler . He could get only four of his own men to join him; but being joined by the crew of the Beauty , (who saved themselves in their boat) went on board again, and having got the schooner off, and loading his gun (only one) with double charges of grape shot, was determined to save his vessel which he did, and arrived safe at Port de Pair; the privateer was at one time within a stone throw of poor Frost, and fired 3 eighteen pound shot through and through the vessel, but not a man was hurt. The privateer had ten guns and eight men, with one or two eighteen pounders. He carried off the other two schooners. I can assure you the Bight is full of privateers, and every other place in the island.
The Tickler has arrived at Gonaives since the date of the above letter.
The following has been received by the editors of the American as a translation of the recent edict of general Ferrand. Though as a translation, it may be incorrect, it is not doubted that it is in substance authentic, as the source from which it comes is respectable.
L. FERRAND,
General of brigade, commander in chief of St. Domingo, acting as captain-general, and a member of the legion of honour.
Experience has, for too long time, taught the general, that all kinds of regard and modification towards those scoundrels, who maintain the rebellion in Hispaniola, by furnishing every thing necessary to the rebels, against the will and approbation of their respective governments, and who, by those acts of cupidity dishonour the flags they sail under—and finding the necessity of putting a stop to rapacity, and to treat them as jurates , has proclaimed and proclaims.
Article 1. All individuals, whomsoever, found on board of any vessel or vessels, allies or neutrals, bound to any port in Hispaniola, occupied by the rebels, shall suffer death.
Those found on board of any vessel, allies or neutrals, coming out of any ports in Hispaniola occupied by the rebels, shall suffer death.
Those found at two leagues distance, from any port of the coast of Hispaniola, occupied by the rebels, on board of allies or neutrals, shall suffer death.
Art. 2. The Gen. informs, that all prisoners made in those different cases, shall be brought into one of the ports in Hispaniola, occupied by the French, to be tried by military commission, which is to pronounce sentence.
Art. 3. This proclamation shall be put into execution on the 1st Floreal, (21st April) and until that time all the preceding proclamations in order to prevent all kinds of communication with the coast of
Hispaniola, occupied by the rebels, shall be strictly executed.
Art. 4. Of this present proclamation, registered at the Colonial Inspection, one hundred copies are printed, published and posted up in all the chief places, round the east part of Hispaniola and all necessary steps shall be taken to its publicity in all the islands and continent of America.
Done at head-quarters of the gen. of St. Domingo, the 16th Pluviose, year the 13th (8th February, 1805).
The general commander in chief, acting as captain-general and member of the legion of honour. (Signed) L. FERRAND.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) March 3.
The Danish sloop Agent , Wells, from Barbados, in 9 days, arrived yesterday at Port Royal. An officer came in her with despatches from commodore Hood for the admiral, which are said to be of the highest importance to this island.
The arrival of so powerful a French naval force to the windward has undoubtedly been the occasion of the despatches from commodore Hood, that our commanders here may be apprised thereof; and be the better prepared to resist the attack of the enemy, should he have the temerity to attempt the conquest of the island.
March 18—A council of war is appointed to be held at the king's house, in Spanish Town, this day, between the hours of 10 and 12.
"BEVERLY, (Mass.) April 2.
This morning arrived here the brig Harriet , Josiah Lovett, master, in 45 days from Marseilles [South of France] was boarded when passing the straits of Gibraltar, and acquainted that Gibraltar was besieged. Capt. L. informs, that about three weeks before he sailed from Marseilles, the Toulon fleet put to sea—was out a number of days, and had returned, bringing in with them an English cutter. Two frigates of the fleet were missing, supposed to have been taken. Boston Mass.
Yesterday, arrived here, the brig Maria , captain Saunders, from the Mediterranean. He informs that a fleet of thirty sail of merchantmen, from Malta for England, under convoy of the Arrow sloop of war, of 13 guns, Capt. Vincent and a bomb brig, about the 1st February near the island of Ivica, was fallen in with by two French frigates, and after an engagement of one hour, the English sloop of war blew up, the bomb was captured, and a considerable part of the convoy. About nine sail of the latter had arrived at Gibraltar previous to his leaving that fortress.
It is probable, from the weakness of the convoy, and the fleet being bound from Malta to England, that they consisted principally of empty, homeward bound transports. Though the Arrow rates as an 18 gun sloop of war, she mounted 30 guns. ibid.
NEW-YORK, April 9.
Captain Allen of the brig Aurora from Martinique, was informed by a respectable American gentleman at St. Pierres that he had seen a letter from Dominique dated the 9th of March, which mentioned that American vessels were allowed to carry away from that island, in payment for their cargoes, rum, sugar and coffee, of each one third; and the captains are required to make oath that they will not take from the island more than 90l. currency in specie.

SIR, His Catholic Majesty has seen with concern, by your note of the 5th, the violent determination which you have taken to break the thread of the functions of your mission, by departing as soon as you receive the passport, which you have asked for that purpose—His Majesty cannot deny you the passports, which he orders me to expedite immediately, and I enclose them for yourself and family, and for that of Mr. Hunter, the Consul General, and the order necessary for the escort which you asked for; but, at the same time, I have to say to you, by his Royal order, that this government not having the slightest motive for your resolution, but on the contrary, every explanation which is suitable to the state of our connexion with Great-Britain, he cannot but look upon you as responsible for the result of your precipitate resolution.

Extract of an order from the Right Hon. the Lords of Admiralty, to Vice-Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, dated the 18th of May 1805.
As it is highly important that your Lordship should be watchful of the conduct of the Court of Spain in the present moment, you are to direct your attention to the naval preparations that may be making in the several ports of that kingdom in the Mediterranean, as also at Cadiz, and to take every practicable means for obtaining from time to time, all the intelligence, you may be able to collect on that subject.
Your Lordship is to take care that no interruption be offered by any of the ships or vessels under your command to any Spanish ships of war or trade, while they conduct themselves in a manner becoming a neutral nation: But at the same time your Lordship is to understand, that however desirable it may be to avoid any measure of hostility against that country, you are not to suffer any squadron of Spanish ships of war to enter a French port, or to form a junction with any squadron, or ships or vessels of that or the Batavian Republic.

Extract of a letter from Sir Evan Nepean, Baronet, to Vice-Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, K. B. dated Admiralty-Office, the 13th January 1805.
I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint your Lordship, that, in consequence of the intelligence which has recently been received of the hostile preparations which are now making in the different ports of Spain, their Lordships have deemed it expedient to reinforce the squadron under your Lordship's command.
The proceedings of Spain, on the occasion I have mentioned to your Lordship, will naturally engage your very serious attention; and their Lordships rely with confidence, that you will keep your squadron in such a state as to be at all times ready to act, as the circumstances and situation of affairs may appear to require.

Order from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to the Hon. W. Cornwallis Admiral of the White, &c. &c. dated the 18th Sept. 1804. (Most Secret) By &c.
You are hereby required and directed to give im-
mediate orders to Rear Admiral Cochrane, to continue the blockade of Ferrol with the utmost vigilance, not only with the view of preventing the French squadron from escaping from that port, but likewise with a view of preventing any of the Spanish ships of war from sailing from Ferrol, or any additional ships of war from entering that port; and if in consequence your correspondence with Rear Admiral Cochrane, you should be of opinion that the force under the Rear-Admiral is not adequate to the purposes above mentioned, you are without delay to reinforce the squadron under his command, and measures will be taken with all possible expedition, to send out to you a sufficient number of ships to replace the force which you may detach.
You are to send intimation to the Spanish government, through Rear-Admiral Cochrane, of the instructions you have given to the Rear Admiral, and of your determination in consequence thereof to resist, under the present circumstances, the sailing, either of the French or Spanish fleets, if an attempt for that purpose should be made by either of them.
And whereas, information has been received that some frigates are speedily expected to arrive at Cadiz loaded with treasures from South America, you are to lose no time in detaching two of the frigates under your command with orders to their captains to proceed with all possible despatch off Cadiz and the entrance of the Straits, and to use their best endeavours, in conjunction with any of his Majesty's ships they may find there, to intercept, if possible, the vessels in which the above mentioned treasure may be contained, and to det in them until his Majesty's pleasure shall be further known.—Given, &c. Sept. 1804.

SIR My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, having ordered the honourable William Cornwallis, commander in chief of his Majesty's ship and vessels off Brest, to send immediately two frigates to cruise off Cadiz and the entrance of the Straits, for the purpose of the intercepting and detaining until his Majesty pleasure shall be further known, some frigates which are speedily expected to arrive at Cadiz, loaded with treasure, from South America; I have it in command from their Lordships, to signify their direction to you to co-operate by every means in your power with the Captains of the two frigates which may be sent out by Admiral Cornwallis, as above mentioned, in carrying the orders they have received from the said Admiral into execution.
In case of your falling in with the vessels having said treasure on board, it is their Lordship's direction, that you use your best endeavours to detain them until further orders. I am, Sir, &c.

Your Lordship is, however, not to suffer any act of hostility or aggression (with the exception of detaining for further orders, ships having treasure on board belonging to the Spanish government) to be committed by the ships under your command, towards the dominions or subjects of Spain, until you have received further orders, or until your Lordship shall have received from unquestionable authority, positive information of hostilities having been committed by the subjects of Spain, against his Majesty's interests.

WETTENHALL'S GREEK GRAMMAR.
JUST PUBLISHED, AND FOR SALE AT WILLIAM P. FARRAND & CO'S. Classical Book-Store, No. 185, Market-Street, FARRAND'S EDITION
WETTENHALL'S GREEK GRAMMAR.
An Edition literally translated into English, as far as possible; with a full variation of the examples of Adjectives; also, variations of a participle in each tense; with a table of Abbreviations explained.
The translator has been politely favoured with the following letters, which he offers as testimonials in favour of his Edition of WETTENHALL'S GRAMMAR.
DEAR SIR, I ask my opinion, whether it be better that a Greek Grammar, intended for the use of schools should be in Latin or in English; and I can give it the more readily, as my opinion is and ever has been what, I presume, you would on this occasion wish it to be.
I think, that not only the Greek, but all other Grammars, which we have occasion to use in our schools, should be in English: because it is certainly desirable, that whatever is to be committed to memory should first be, if possible, perfectly understood; and because I am persuaded, that even the best of our scholars understand their native language better than any other.
If, in proposing to me this question, you have been influenced by any solicitude with respect to the demand which there may be for your translation of WETTENHALL , I am confident that it is wholly unnecessary, for, if I am not much mistaken, there will hereafter be little or no demand, in any part of the United States, for any other Wettenhall than that with which you are now about to furnish us.
I have looked over it as far as your Translation goes; and though I cannot say, that I find in it no inaccuracies, yet I can say truly, that there are but very few, and those of no great consequence; whilst, as to the quality of the paper, the size and neatness of the type, and the general correctness which every where prevails in it, it is far superior to any other edition of that work which has been hitherto published in this place.
JOHN ANDREWS.
MR. WM. P. FARRAND.
SIR, The Professors in Dickinson College, who have carefully examined the first sheets of your English translation of WETTENHALL'S GREEK GRAMMAR , observe, with pleasure, that the work is executed in an accurate manner—the additional notes are highly useful, and the type is neat and elegant. It is their wish and hope, that your performance—a work that must have cost much pains and expense—may be duly estimated by the publick, and that it may encourage and aid studious young men to acquire an accurate knowledge of one of the most admired and useful languages of antiquity.
On behalf of the Faculty, ROBERT DAVIDSON, President.
MR. WM. P. FARRAND.
DEAR SIR, For almost a century, common sense has exhibited and rejected the absurdity of teaching the Roman tongue by the use of a grammar written only in the language it is intended to illustrate, and to which the pupil is a perfect stranger. As at the time you begin the study of Greek, then acquaintance with the Latin is very partial, the operation of the same principle is correcting the impropriety of teaching the elements of the Greek through the medium of that language. This is the more necessary, as in some grammars, particularly in Dr. WETTENHALL'S , the style has in it more of the refined elegance of the scholar than of the requisite simplicity of the teacher.
Contemplating the correctness of your translation, the useful notes you have added, and the general utility of the work, I cannot avoid expecting as well as hoping that in its extensive circulation you will find your deserved reward.

NOTICE.
THE subscriber owes some money, which he is determined shall be speedily paid; added to which his low state of health, calls loudly for his retirement from business. He therefore offers his stock of goods for sale, on the most liberal terms—This assortment has been selected from the best importations within the last twelve months; and amounts to about £2000. currency. As the situation occupied by him is not equalled by any other in the lower country, and as it can be obtained for a number of years, he hopes some of his friends will consider it to their advantage to purchase the goods, and take the stand—Nothing but the second reason assigned in this advertisement, would induce him to quit the stand—But owing to his health he must and will quit business, for some time at least. He has two small crafts, and a quantity of naval stores and lumber subject to his sale. JOHN K. RANDOLPH. N. B. Those indebted must make payment in sixty days or give their bonds.
