Frankfort, October 9.
We congratulate the public at large and the particular friends of Messrs. Lewis and Clark, and their companions, on the happy termination of an expedition which will, doubtless, be productive of incalculable commercial advantages to the Western country.
Whatever differences of opinion may exist in this point, we are persuaded all think and feel alike, on the courage, perseverance, and prudent deportment displayed by this adventurous party. They are entitled to, and will receive the plaudits of their countrymen.
By the mail of this morning we have received from an obliging friend, the following letter from Capt. Clark to his brother, Ben. Clark, near Louisville. Captain Clark, did not perhaps intend it for publication, but to gratify in some measure, the impatient wishes of his countrymen, the general was prevailed upon to permit its appearance in our paper of to-day.
St. Louis, 23d Sept. 1806.
DEAR BROTHER, We arrived at this place at 12 o'clock to-day, from the Pacific ocean; where we remained during the last winter, near the entrance of the Columbia river. This station we left on the 27th of March last, and should have reached St. Louis early in August, had we not been detained by the snow, which barred our passage across the rocky mountains until the 24th of June. In returning through those mountains, we divided ourselves into several parties, diverging from the route by which we went out, in order more effectually to explore the country, and discover the most practicable route which does exist across the continent by the way of the Missouri and Columbia rivers. In this we were completely successful; and have therefore no hesitation in declaring that such a route has been permitted we have discovered the best route which does exist across the continent of North America in that direction. Such is that by way of the Missouri to the foot of the rapids below the great falls of that river, a distance of 2375 miles; thence by land, passing by the Rocky Mountains, to a navigable part of the Kooskooske 340; and with the Kooskooske 73 miles, Lewis's river 134 miles, and the Columbia 413 miles to the Pacific Ocean; making the total distance from the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi, to the discharge of the Columbia to the Pacific ocean, 3553 miles.
The navigation of the Missouri may be deemed good—its difficulties arise from its falling banks, timber imbedded in the mud of its channel, its sand bars and steady rapidity of its current, all which may be overcome with a great degree of certainty by using the necessary precautions. The passage by land of 340 miles from the falls of the Missouri to the Kooskooske, is the most formidable part of the track proposed across the continent. Of this distance, 200 miles is a long a good road, and 140 miles over tremendous mountains, which for 60 miles are covered with eternal snows. A passage over these mountains is, however, practicable from the latter part of June to the last of September; and the cheap rate at which horses are to be obtained from the Indians of the Rocky Mountains, and west of them, reduces the expenses of transportation over this portage to a mere trifle. The navigation of the Kooskooske, Lewis's river, and the Columbia, is safe and good from the first of April to the middle of August, by making three portages on the latter river.
The first of which, in descending is 1200 paces, at the falls of Columbia, 261 miles up that river; the second, of two miles, at the long narrows, six miles below the falls, and a third, also, of two miles at the great rapids, 65 miles still lower down. The tide flows up the Columbia, 183 miles, and within seven miles of the great rapids. Large sloops may with safety ascend as high as tide water, and vessels of 300 tons burthen, reach the entrance of the Multnomah river a large southern branch of the Columbia, which takes its rise on the con-
fluence of new Mexico, with the Callorado, and Apostle's rivers, discharging itself into the Columbia, 125 miles from its entrance into the Pacific ocean. I consider this track across the continent of immense advantage to the fur trade, as all the furs collected in nine tenths of the most valuable fur country in America, may be conveyed to the mouth of the Columbia and shipped from thence to the East Indies by the first of August in each year; and will of course, reach Canton earlier than the furs which are mutually exported from Montreal, arrive in Great Britain.
In our outward bound voyage we ascended to the foot of the rapids, below the great falls of the Missouri, where we arrived on the 14th June, 1805. Not having met with any of the natives of Rocky Mountain, we were, of course, ignorant of the passes by land which existed through these mountains to the Columbia river; and had we even known the route, we were destitute of horses, which would have been indispensably necessary to enable us to transport the required quantity of ammunition and other stores, to ensure the remaining part of our voyage down the Columbia; we therefore determined to navigate the Missouri as far as it was practicable, or unless we met with some of the natives from whom we could obtain horses and information of the country. Accordingly we undertook a most laborious portage at the falls of the Missouri, of 18 miles, which we effected with our canoes and baggage by the 2d July. From thence ascending the Missouri, we penetrated the Rocky Mountain at the distance of 71 miles above the upper part of the portage, and penetrated as far as the three forks of that river, a distance of 180 miles further: Here the Missouri divides into 3 nearly equal branches at the same point. The two largest branches are so nearly of the same dignity, that we did not conceive that either of them could with propriety retain the name of the Missouri; and therefore called these streams Jefferson's, Madison's, and Gallatin's rivers. The confluence of those rivers is 2848 miles from the mouth of the Missouri, by the meanders of that river. We arrived at the three forks of the Missouri the 27th of July. Not having yet been so fortunate as to meet with the natives, although I had previously made several exertions, for that purpose, we were compelled still to continue our route by water.
The most northerly of the 3 forks, that to which we had given the name of Jefferson's river, was deemed the most proper for our purpose, and we accordingly ascended it 248 miles to the upper forks, and its extreme navigable point; making the total distance to which we had navigated the waters of the Missouri, 3096 miles, of which 429 lay within the Rocky mountains. On the morning of the 17th of August, 1805, I arrived at the forks of Jefferson's river, where I met Capt. Lewis, who had previously penetrated with a party of 8 men, to the waters of the Columbia, discovered a band of the Shoshone nation, and had found means to induce 35 of their chiefs and warriors to accompany him to that place. From these people we learned that the river on which they resided was navigable, and that a passage through the mountains in that direction was impracticable; being unwilling to confide in this unfavorable account of the natives, it was concerted between Capt. Lewis and myself, that one of us should go forward immediately with a small party, and explore the river; while the other in the interim would lay up the canoes at that place, and engage the natives with their horses to assist in transporting our stores and baggage to their camp. Accordingly I set out the next day, passed the dividing mountains between the waters of the Missouri and Columbia, and descended the river which I since call the east fork of Lewis's river, about 70 miles. Finding that the Indians' account of the country, in the direction of this river was correct, I returned and joined Capt. Lewis on the 29th of August at the Shoshone camp, excessively fatigued as you may suppose; having passed mountains almost inaccessible, and compelled to subsist on berries during the greater part of my route. We now purchased 27 horses of the Indians, and hi-

red a guide who assured us that he could in 15 days take us to a large river in an open country, west of these mountains, by a route some distance to the north of the river on which the natives west of the mountains visit the plains of the Missouri, for the purpose of hunting the buffalo. Every preparation being made, we set forward with our guide on the 31st of August, through those tremendous mountains, in which we continued until the 22d Sept. before we reached the lower country beyond them; on our way we met with the Okanabos a band of the Tuchabaks, from whom we obtained an accession of seven horses and exchanged 8 or 10 others; this proved of infinite service to us, as we were compelled to subsist on horse beef about 8 days before we reached the Kookoooske. During our passage over these mountains we suffered every thing which hunger, cold and fatigue could impose; nor did our difficulties with respect to provision, cease on our arrival at the Kookoooske, for although the Palloptallers a numerous nation inhabiting that country, were extremely hospitable, and for a few trifling articles furnished us with an abundance of roots and dried salmon, the food to which they were accustomed; we found that we could not subsist on these articles, and almost all of us grew sick on eating them; we were obliged therefore to have recourse to the flesh of horses and dogs as food to supply the deficiency of our guns, which produced but little meat, as game was scarce in the vicinity of our camp on Kookoooske, where we were compelled to remain in order to construct our perogues to descend the river. At this season the salmon are meagre and form but indifferent food. While we remained here I was myself sick for several days, and my friend capt. Lewis suffered a severe indisposition.
Having completed 6 perogues and a small canoe, we gave our horses in charge to the Palloptallers until we returned, and on the 7th of Oct. re-embarked for the Pacific ocean. We descended by the route I have already described. The water of the river being low at this season, we experienced much difficulty in descending, we found it obstructed by a great number of difficult and dangerous rapids in passing of which our perogues several times filled, and the men escaped narrowly with their lives. However this difficulty does not exist in high water, which happens within the period which I have previously mentioned. We found the natives extremely numerous, and generally friendly, though we have on several occasions owed our lives and the fate of the expedition to our number, which consisted of 31 men. On the 17th of Nov. we reached the ocean, where various considerations induced us to spend the winter; we therefore searched for an eligible situation for that purpose, and selected a spot on the south side of a little river called by the natives Netul, which discharges itself at a small bar on the south side of the Columbia, and 14 miles within point Adams. Here we constructed some log houses and defended them with a common stockade work; this place we called Fort Clatsop, after a nation of that name who were our nearest neighbours. In this country we found an abundance of elk; on which we subsisted principally during the last winter; we left Fort Clatsop on the 27th of March. On our homeward bound voyage, being much better acquainted with the country we were enabled to take such precautions as in a great measure secured us from the want of provision at any time, and greatly lessened our fatigues, when compared to those in which we were compelled to submit in our outward-bound journey. We have not lost a man since we left the Mandans, a circumstance which I assure you is a pleasing consideration to me. As I shall shortly be with you, and the post is now waiting, I deem it unnecessary here to attempt minutely the occurrences of the last 18 months.
I am, &c.
Your affectionate brother, WM. CLARK.
Late and Important FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
VICTORY IN CALABRIA.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT. BRITISH ARMY IN CALABRIA. Messina, July 5.
We have learnt by the British sloop of war the Bittern, commanded by Capt. Down, the happy intelligence of the landing of the British army, on the 1st instant under the orders of major general Sir J. Stuart, in the Gulf of St.
Euphemia, without any loss on our side. This sloop has brought with her a number of French prisoners. We have received the following particulars of the landing:—
Head Quarters, Nicastro, 3d July, 1806.
The army landed without opposition, on the 1st instant in the morning. The advanced guard, consisting of three companies of light infantry, and some grenadiers, was sent forward to reconnoitre a thick wood about a mile and a half from the shore, where they found about 400 French, who were pursued and dispersed by our troops and about the half of them taken prisoners. They lost about forty in killed and wounded. Our only loss was one serjeant of the 49th regiment, wounded. It is probable that the army will advance this evening to attack the enemy. The peasants flock in crowds to our army. Three thousand brave Calabrians at least have joined us. Their number increases every moment. The enemy is retreating, it is supposed for the purpose of concentrating their troops.
The conduct of the peasants of Nicastro is worthy of being made public.—After having supplied the army with provisions, they refused to receive any payment for them, observing, that as the English came to rescue them from the tyranny of the French, by whom they had been, a short time before, robbed of their property, it was their wish that the army which came to their assistance should be supported with a part of their plentiful harvest. His excellency Gen. Stuart several times attempted in vain to prevail upon them to take receipts for the necessaries they had supplied.
Nothing can equal the enthusiasm with which the Calabrians received their deliverers, and the zeal with which they pressed forward to offer not only their services, but their lives, to re-conquer the kingdom of their well-beloved and lawful sovereign Ferdinand the Fourth. Nothing but red cockades are seen in the hats of the peasants.
Immediately after the landing of the English army, General Stuart published a proclamation inviting the Calabrians to shake off the yoke of the French. He told them that the standard of Ferdinand IV. was again displayed on their shores: that nothing was required of them but accommodation; that no contribution would be demanded; that all provisions supplied should be punctually paid for; that they should receive arms and ammunition for their own defence; that their laws and customs should be maintained; their religion and Catholick worship should be honoured and respected; and that those who might have erred, or have been seduced by the government of the Usurper, should, on delivering up their arms, be pardoned and protected.
Several transports with French prisoners, arrived yesterday from the gulf of St. Euphemia, which, after having landed the prisoners, sailed again instantly with reinforcements for the army.
The following letter was also received on Wednesday morning from rear admiral Sir Sidney Smith:
Castle of Amantea, July 2, 1806.
We have taken this fortress, having attacked it by sea, as it was too perpendicular on the land side, and consequently inaccessible. The French, having once lost it, will find it difficult to retake it. The little blood which has been shed in this affair must always be regretted; but it is on the side of the enemy; not one of our people received a scratch. The two divisions Melazzo and Cane have behaved extremely well. Eight cannon spiked, two standards, and four hundred prisoners, and arms and ammunition sufficient to enable the brave subjects of his Sicilian majesty to arm themselves and to follow up their success, are the trophies and the fruits of the action of yesterday. I have learnt with much satisfaction that the English army approaches Nicastro. Our prospects are good on every side. The army landed under the protection of a frigate, at the same time that we were taking Amantea. We have spread alarm through a considerable part of the coast.

Official Intelligence.
Palermo, July 9.
By express sent by the governor of Messina to Palermo, to the minister of the war and marine department, Col. Colajanni, with letters of the 7th inst. the agreeable news has been received in a letter written by general Stewart, dated from the plain of St. Euphemia, to brigadier gen. Broderick, commanding the citadel of Messina, the 5th of the
same month, of a complete victory gained on the preceding day by the British army in Calabria, over the French army commanded by general Regnier, which letter is to the following purport:
Plain of St. Euphemia, July 5.
I trouble you with these few lines, to inform you of the satisfactory circumstance of my having, yesterday, attacked and entirely defeated general Regnier, after an obstinate action, in the plain of St. Euphemia. The enemy, according to all the accounts received, amounted to 7000 infantry, and upwards of 300 cavalry, with four pieces of artillery. Their loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, according to the intelligence we have received, is upwards of 2000 men; but as many prisoners continually arrive, who have been dispersed in the neighbouring mountains, and as their defeat has been general, there can be no doubt but there might be added to the number another thousand men. It is impossible to describe what our brave troops have undertaken and executed.
I have taken general Compere, with several other officers of rank, prisoners. If I had had but the few of the 30th regiment of dragoons mounted, that I left behind me at Messina, not a soul would have escaped.
I am happy to inform you, that in this serious action our loss has been comparatively small. An officer and forty men were killed; eleven officers and 350 men were wounded. Captain Maclean, of the 20th foot, was unfortunately killed.
Colonel Ross, with the 30th regiment of foot, landed, during the action, and joined us, rendering us thereby an essential service at a very critical moment.
Believe me, &c. &c.
P. S. General Regnier retired with the remains of his army towards Catanzaro, and I have detached colonels Kemp and Ross in pursuit of him. The French light infantry and our battalions came to the bayonet; and the former were almost totally destroyed.
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 Maidi, 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 above mentioned 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 joyous and less hazardous. Given at Palermo, July 10, 1806.

FERDINAND.
PROCLAMATION
Of Sir J. Stuart, knight of the grand imperial order of the greater crescent,
and commander in chief of the troops of his Britannic 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 detachments 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 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 headquarters the same intention has been declared with respect to the whole of the country which they have occupied in their flight.
Whenever 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 private 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 peasant 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 has 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 justified, but even compelled by my duty, to have recourse to the severe, but indispensable law of Reprisals.
(Signed) J. STUART. Head-Quarters at Bangaro, July 13.
BALTIMORE, November 3.
On Sunday the 9th ult. departed this life at his residence in Baltimore county, in the 73d year of his age, Mr. BENJAMIN BANNEKER, a Black man, and immediate descendant of an African father. He was well known in his neighbourhood for his quiet and peaceable demeanor, and among scientific men as an astronomer and mathematician. In early life he was instructed in the most common rules of arithmetic, and thereafter, with the assistance of different authors, he was enabled to acquire a perfect knowledge of all the higher branches of learning. Mr. B. was the calculator of several almanacks which were published in this, as well as some of the neighboring states, and although of late years none of his almanacks were published, yet he never failed to calculate one every year, and left them among his papers, preferring solitude to mixing with society, and devoted the greatest part of his time in reading and contemplation, and to no books was he more attached than the scriptures. At his decease he bequeathed all his astronomical and philosophical books and papers to a friend.
Mr. Banneker is a prominent instance to prove that a descendant of Africa is susceptible of as great mental improvement and deep knowledge in the mysteries of nature as that of any other nation.
The report that Bonaparte 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 irruption 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 the 20th of last month, on the way to Berlin.
From a London paper of September 5.
MUNGO PARK.
As there have lately appeared in several newspapers various accounts of Mr. Mungo Park and his fellow travellers in Africa, the following extract of a letter from him to his friend at Goree, being the only authentic information received since he reached the river Niger, will no doubt prove acceptable to those who

feel an interest in the fate of that enterprising man:
"Sansanding, Bamboura, Nov. 10, 1804." "My dear Friend.—We left the Gambia in good health and spirits, and continued travelling with the greatest and most flattering prospect of success, till we had crossed the Falam River, and entered Minkoodo—here, alas! the rainy season commenced, and the soldiers were affected with fevers. The fever had at first the appearance of typhus, but in a few days the yellow tinge of the skin convinced us that we had a more dangerous disease to contend with."
(Here he relates his method of treatment, which, he says, he has every reason to believe would have been very successful, had they had proper convenience, and not been exposed to the heat of the sun.)
Our numbers diminished very rapidly; for, as the rainy season advanced, the dysentery made its appearance, and we reached the river Niger, (23d Aug.) in a very weak and sickly state. On our arrival we had a long palaver with the king of Bamboura, and received permission to pass to the eastward, and arrived at Thirpla, (Sansanding) where we resided near 2 months, fitting out our schooner, and laying in provisions. The healthy season is now set in, and I indulge the hope of reaching the coast before any more of us drop off. Out of 45 Europeans, who left the Gambia in good health, only lieut. Martin, and 3 soldiers, of the Royal African corps, and myself, remain alive. I have not had a day's sickness since I left Govee. Mr. Anderson my brother, friend and companion, died of a dysentery on the 28th of Oct. and Mr. Scott of a fever, two months ago. I am your's, &c.
(Signed.) "MUNGO PARK." The guide who brought these letters says, that he saw Mr. Park to the eastward of Sansanding, after the date of his letter. He also reports, that there was an English ship in the Gambia that had letters on board from Mr. Park, for his majesty's secretary of state.
MARTINSBURG, November 14.
The last accounts received from the Spanish frontier, are by an arrival at New-York, from New-Orleans. It seems as if something serious was meditated by the Spaniards, and that general Wilkinson, being fully apprized of it, was making the most active exertions to be able to meet the worst. The following remarks and extracts are from the last New-York papers.
Capt. Patterson informs, that Previous to his leaving New-Orleans, governor Claiborne had returned from Natchitoches, and had ordered out all the infantry, with a view of marching them to the relief of the troops; though it was expected they could not arrive in time to prevent a skirmish with the Spaniards. All the inhabitants it was supposed, would turn out. We have been favored with New-Orleans papers to the 10th inst. from which we make the following interesting extracts.
NEW-ORLEANS, October 2.
The letters received by this days mail from Natchez and Fort Adams, state that every preparation is making to meet and repel Spanish encroachments. All the remaining regular force that was left by Col. Kingsbury at Fort Adams, have marched under the command of captain Sparks, for Natchitoches. Major Ferdinand L. Claiborne was hourly expected when the mail left Fort Adams with captain Farrar's troop of dragoons, and a handsome detachment of militia, on their march to Natchitoches, viz. Rapi-de—no doubt now exists but blood will be shed unless the Spaniards fall back.
NATCHES, September 30.
Aspect of Spanish Affairs. —The most recent and accurate information from Natchitoches, states the Spanish force, embodied within our limits, at 1500, commanded by governor Haras, who evinces a spirit of marked hostility to the government of the United States.
General Wilkinson, we are informed, had an interview with governor Claiborne at Rapide, in the territory of Orleans, which resulted in the requisition of 250 mounted infantry and dragoons, from the Mississippi territory, who are ordered to march immediately to Natchitoches, and join the regular army stationed at that place.
The patriotism displayed by the citizens of this territory, at a crisis so interesting and momentous, deserves the eulogy of every friend to the liberty and independence of the United States. The
honorable Cowles Mead, our acting governor, has exerted all his energies to place the militia in a proper organization, assisted by the vigilance of his aid-de-camp, major Shields, and we are happy to believe their exertions have not been ineffectual. It is with peculiar pleasure we observe the alacrity with which captain Benjamin Farrar's company of dragoons have manifested their disposition to chastise Spanish Insolence, on this occasion, and a tribute of applause is also due to capt. George Poindexter, who, with that zeal which forms the characteristic of every patriot, has organized a very considerable volunteer corps in the country. Captains Newman and Voss we also understand, have made a patriotic tender of their services to the executive. These companies, with others from the different counties as may be necessary to constitute the number required, are ordered to rendezvous at the town of Washington, on Thursday the 2d of October, equip for service, and to receive further orders.
When the citizens of a country, where government rests upon their affections, move with such celerity to meet the invaders of their territory, we have nothing to anticipate but victory and vengeance.

CAPTURE OF BUENOS AYRES.
The official news of the capture of Buenos Ayres is received. It capitulated on the 27th of June. There fell into the hands of the English 1,291,338 dollars, in silver and bullion. Gen. Beresford, has issued a proclamation as Lt. Governor. And promises to allow a free trade to all nations in amity with England.
The trade of Buenos Ayres is to be put on the same footing, by promise, as that of Trinidad.
It was estimated that the merchandise in the king's stores, principally Jesuits bark and quick-silver; and what is in the Phillipine company's stores; with the little that is retained of floating property; would amount, if it could be disposed of, to between 2 and 3 millions of dollars. Of the bullion delivered in, some was claimed as private property, and was to be restored—and so of some of the money.
90 pieces of ordnance, 330 whole barrels powder, 2203 muskets with bayonets, 71 without bayonets, 616 carbines, 4079 pistols, 31 musketoons, and 1247 swords—were taken at Buenos Ayres. The English had 1 man killed, 12 wounded, and 1 was missing.
In addition to the splendid victory obtained on the 4th of July last, on the plains of Maida, in Italy, by the British force under the command of Sir John Stuart, over a French army of greatly superior numbers, intelligence has just reached this country of much more important successes which have attended the British arms, in another quarters the capture of Buenos Ayres, with its dependencies in South America.
This city, which is the capital of the province of La Plata (and indeed the metropolis of all the Spanish possessions on the eastern side of the South-American continent) is situated on the southern bank of the great river La Plata about 50 leagues from its mouth, and in the latitude of nearly 35 south. The number of houses in the city is estimated at 3000, and it is supposed to contain 18 or 20,000 inhabitants.
Buenos Ayres is one of the principal depositories of the Spanish treasures of South America. Its surrender to the British crown cannot fail of being speedily followed by a severance of all the Spanish colonies, on the Main, from that monarchy. Miranda will probably possess himself of the northern provinces, on the eastern coast; while the British will acquire the dominion of all the countries to the westward and southward of the Portuguese kingdom of the Brazils, including Chili and Peru—and even of Mexico.
The importance of such acquisitions, by Great-Britain, is incalculable; and these, in their consequence, as they regard this country, will be necessarily attended with great and manifest advantage, in a commercial point of view—Among the very liberal terms granted to the Spanish colonists by their conquerors, is, "a free trade among all people at peace with his Britannic majesty." What an extensive field does this open, for the enterprising spirit of our citizens! We are, fortunately for our country, "at peace with his Britannic Majesty;" and our interests, as well as sound policy, require that we should cultivate a good
understanding and a reciprocity of friendship, with Great-Britain. This occurrence in South-America, with its probable consequences, is of vast moment, in an aspect purely political; and in this consideration, we are also interested. Spain, as an ally (or rather a vassal) of France, is the grand conduit, through which the Spanish bullion of South-America has long flowed into the reservoir of Bonaparte; and these treasures have enabled him to become a scourge and a terror to a great portion of the civilized World—We, among the rest are not exempt from his menaces, and those of his minions, the proud but imbecile Spaniard. But let Spain lose her American provinces, which she is in a fair way of doing, and the right arm of Bonaparte's power will be effectually palsied.
Rumor. —It is certainly not the duty of a newspaper editor to give currency to every rumour which may reach his ears, on the other hand it must be admitted that it is his duty to notice all such as are either supported by the authority of respectable names or may implicate the welfare of his fellow citizens and the peace of his country. In so doing, it is not conceived that his veracity is pledged in support of the story, nay, he may totally disbelieve it, yet be justified in giving it currency. Hence the Expositor details the following rumour, which has a very wide circulation in this town, viz.—That the president has issued a process on a charge of high treason to arrest a certain individual, who once stood high in the opinion of his countrymen, and whose late conduct in the western country has been marked by public suspicion. Other reports are added still more alarming. To say we credit them would be to violate truth, but still we think something unpleasant has occurred.
[Alexandria Expositor.]
Mr. FOX.
The death of this distinguished statesman is confirmed. He died on the 15th September last, at the very moment when the Park and Tower guns were announcing the capture of Buenos Ayres.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 21.
A letter received in town yesterday, dated the 16th Sept. states—That Gen. Wilkinson had marched against the Spanish commandant, who is at the head of 15 or 1800 men—that an appeal to arms would take place in 15 days.—In my next, I fear you will be informed blood has been spilt—I have two Spanish governors opposed to me, Herrera and Cordera, of whom and their 2000 men, I shall with less than 1200 give you a good account.
The following portrait of American enterprise on the ocean, says the Norfolk Ledger, was drawn by EDMUND BURKE, in a speech delivered in the House of Commons, two and thirty years since. This is a people who our philosophical rulers would persuade to abandon the ocean, who while (as the orator says) in the gristle exhibited such wonderful enterprise. "As to the wealth which the Colonies have drawn from the sea by their fisheries, you had all that matter fully opened at your bar. You surely thought these acquisitions of value, for they seemed even to excite your envy; and yet the spirit by which the enterprising employment has been exercised, ought rather, in my opinion, to have raised your esteem and admiration. And pray, sir, what in the world is equal to it? Pass by the other parts and look at the manner in which the New-England people have of late carried on the whale fishery. Whilst we follow them among the tumbling mountains of ice, we behold them penetrating into the deepest frozen recesses of Hudson's Bay and Davis's Straights, whilst we are looking for them beneath the arctic circle, we hear that they have pierced into the opposite region of polar cold; that they are at the antipodes, and engaged under the frozen serpent of the south. Falkland Island, which seemed too remote and romantic an object for the grasp of national ambition is but a stage and resting place to their victorious industry. Nor is the equinoctial heat more discouraging to them, than the accumulated winter of both poles. We know that while some draw the line and strike the harpoon on the coast of Africa, others run the longitude, and pursue their gigantic game along the coast of Brazil. No sea but what is vexed with their fisheries. No climate that is not witness to their toils. Neither the perseverance of Holland nor the activity of France, nor the dexterous and firm sagacity of English enterprise, ever carried their most perilous mode of hardy industry to the extent to which it
had been pursued by these recent people, a people who are still in the gristle, and not yet hardened into manhood.

November 14, 1806.

The following stanzas, extracted from a late English publication, have much merit. The ideas, although in some measure hackneyed, are placed in such a point of view, that they meet us with all the charms of novelty.
Once in the flight of ages past, There liv'd a man,—and who was he? Mortal! howe'er thy lot is cast, That man resembles thee.
Unknown the region of his birth, The land in which he died unknown; His name hath perish'd from the earth, This truth survives alone:
That joy, and grief and hope, and fear, Alternate triumph'd in his breast; His bliss and woe—a smile, a tear; Oblivion hides the rest.
The bounding pulse, the languid limb, The changing spirits rise and fall, We know that these are felt by him, For these are felt by all.
He suffered—but his pangs are o'er; Enjoy'd—but his delights are fled; Had friends—his friends are now no more; And foes—his foes are dead.
He lov'd—but whom he lov'd the grave Hath lost in its unconscious womb; O! she was fair, but nought would save Her beauty from the tomb.
DOMESTIC PICTURE.
IN rural innocence secure I dwell, Alike to fortune and to fame unknown; Approving conscience cheers my humble cell, And social quiet marks me for her own.
Next to the blessings of religious truth, Two gifts my daily gratitude engage; A wife—the joy and transport of my youth, A son—the comforts of declining age.
Seek not to draw me from this calm re- treat, In loftier spheres unfit, untaught to move;
Content with plain domestic life, where meet The aspects of friendship, and the smile of love.
