LOUISIANA AFFAIRS.
All our readers may not perhaps have in recollection the Proclamation of L'AUSSAT, the French Prefect, to the people of Louisiana, announcing the cession of that Country to the United States. In the present crisis of affairs, we have thought that a few extracts from that Proclamation, with some remarks, might not be unseasonable. The parts which we have deemed most worthy of notice, are the following.
"The approach of a war, commenced under the most bloody and terrible auspices, and menacing the four quarters of the world, has led the government to turn its attention and reflections towards these regions. Views of prudence and humanity, united to views of a policy most extensive, most solid, worthy, in a word, of the great genius, which balances at this very instant such mighty destinies among the nations of the earth, have finally given a new direction to the beneficent intentions of France towards Louisiana.—She has ceded it to the United States."
"There can not be a mother country (metropole), holding colonies, without a colonial monopoly more or less exclusive. On the contrary, you may expect on the part of the United States, the most perfect freedom in your exports, and such duties only on your imports as are founded upon your publick wants and the industry of the interior. In consequence of an extreme competition you will buy cheap, you will sell dear, and receive moreover the advantages of an immense trade of deposit. The Mississippi, the Nile of America, which bathes, not deserts of burning sand, but plains the most extensive, the most fertile, and the most happily situated in the New World, will be seen ere long (around the wharves of this New Alexandria) covered with thousands of vessels of all nations."
"Among these I trust you will always, Louisianians, view with complacency the French flag, and the sight of it will never cease to cheer your hearts. Such is our firm hope, and I profess it here formally, in the name of my country and its government."
"Buonaparte, in stipulating in the 7th article of the treaty, that the French should be admitted during twelve years, to trade upon your coasts, upon the same conditions and on paying the same duties as the citizens of the U. States themselves, has had for one of his principal objects to give time, to the French of Louisiana and the French of Europe, to renew, draw closer and perpetuate their ancient connexions. A new correspondence is about to be established between us from one continent to the other, so much the more satisfactory and durable as it will be founded purely on a constant reciprocity of friendly sentiments, mutual services and accommodations. Your children, Louisianians, will be our children, and our children will become yours: you will see them perfect their knowledge and talents among us, and we shall see them increase your strength, your labour, your industry, and unite with you in forcing its tributes from a country yet unconquered."
"I have the pleasure, Louisianians, to contrast at some length this picture to the affecting recollections of abandonments, and the tender regrets which the attachment never to be effaced, of a number of you, to the country of their ancestors have led them to express on the present occasion. France and its government will receive the account of their sentiments with affection and gratitude. But you will ere long render them from your own experience that justice to which they are so eminently entitled on your part in consequence of the most memorable and greatest of benefits bestowed on you."
"The French Republick, by this event, retraces the first to modern times, the example of a colony, voluntarily emancipated by herself; the example of one of those colonies, of which we will find with delight the resemblance in the best ages of antiquity.—May thus in our time and in future, a Louisianian and a Frenchman never meet on any spot of the earth, without being affected, and led to give each other mutually the tender name of brother. May this title be alone capable of representing hereafter the idea of their eternal engagement, and of their free dependence on each other."
We think no one can help drawing the following inferences, first, that France ceded Louisiana, because she apprehended that the war in which she was about to engage (or as it has been asserted was already engaged) with Great Britain, might render it impossible to retain the colony, wherefore (says the Prefect) "views of prudence" induced France to transfer this country to the United States,—By way of degression the Friends of the administration have always denied that the purchase of Louisiana had any relation to the war; they and Mons. L'Aussat, are at issue upon this point, and we leave them to settle it between them, while we pursue the more immediate object of these remarks.
Secondly, L'Aussat wishes to impress on the Louisianians, that necessity, and not choice had induced France to part with them, and he endeavours to console them for the separation, which in pretty plain terms he wishes them to consider as only temporary, and no longer than the occasion which produced it should exist.
In support of the first position, that France ceded this Country from necessity, we think it would be a waste of time to employ any argument, the words are so plain that they could not be mistaken, nor their intention misconceived, particularly by those to whom they were addressed.
Proceeding in his address, the Prefect describes the advantages that were to be expected from a connexion with the United States; it was not possible to avoid saying something on this subject, having dismissed which he comes to what was nearer to his heart, and which he takes special care to impress on the people of Louisiana. "You will always, Louisi-
anians, view with complacency the French Flag, and the sight of it will never cease to cheer your hearts." Then follows the stipulation that France was permitted by the seventh article, for twelve years to trade upon the same terms that the citizens of the United States were. One of the objects of Buonaparte (we are left to conjecture what were the others) says L'Aussat, was "to give an opportunity for the French of Louisiana, and the French of Europe to renew, draw closer, and perpetuate their ancient connexions." In twelve years Buonaparte might very safely calculate that France would be delivered from the war with Britain, and have some time to bring her plans to bear, after which the reunion would take place. The Prefect then adds, "your children, Louisianians, will be our children, and our children will be yours, &c."
These declarations it appears were necessary to satisfy a number who were not reconciled to the cession, as the reader will better perceive by referring to the next paragraph from which our last quotation was made, beginning with the words, "I have the pleasure, &c."
As L'Aussat was about to leave the Country, it was necessary that he should also leave some testimony of the future views of France, with her agents and creatures, who were to use them to her advantage, which there is no doubt they have done, and (as we may hereafter find,) with considerable success.
We would recommend to our readers an attentive perusal of the Prefect's proclamation, and to compare the sentiments it contains, with subsequent events, and we think it impossible to resist the conviction of what we have endeavoured to impress. It is no longer a secret, that France has supported Spain in her resistance to our rights as to the boundaries of Louisiana. At once she decided against our claims, and in terms that were as insolent on her part, as they were injurious to our honour.
If France had been governed by common honesty, and having relinquished all future views to Louisiana, she ought to have aided us in supporting our rights against Spain, as it was under France that we claimed; instead of which we know that an opposite course has been pursued by her.
It is not in the nature of things to be supposed, that Spain upon this occasion moves of our own accord; we know her situation too well, so to suppose. Her resistance is to afford a pretext for the interference of France. There are but two ways in which we are to proceed, either to assert our rights by arms, or to purchase them by money. In the former way, if we may fail, but we will not be dishonoured; in the latter, we may fail, and be disgraced. It is in vain for this country to expect to satisfy the demands of France, and therefore we should discard the idea of parting with another dollar, which is to be appropriated to what the world will consider as "Tribute" however disguised.
[Communication.]
Died this morning, Mrs. FRANCES P. KING, wife of Capt. Miles King, of this place.
Her fleeting soul, borne on the wings of its eternal flight, wafted by the sacred mandate of her God, left this troubled world to repose in the blissful abodes of Heaven!
In connubial life, this lady was an amiable example of discretion, tenderness, and affection; she was in friendship warm, generous, and sincere; and as a mistress mild, indulgent, and correct. Her general deportment bespoke gentleness, unassuming dignity, and benevolence—her social manners were peculiarly affable, conciliating, and chaste—her sentiments religiously moral, liberal, and candid, for her tongue was a stranger to guile. With a heart abounding in the excellence of virtue, she possessed a mind, firm, luminous, and comprehensive, giving to her countenance an enlightened serenity, and to her expression an intelligent urbanity, that transfused a tranquil pleasure into every soul, and beamed its happy influence through all around her. By her relations and friends she was tenderly loved and caressed; by a numerous and most respectable acquaintance admired, respected, and esteemed. While memory lives, she will be fondly nurtured in the bosom of affection, and by all those to whom she was allied, their loss will forever be deplored; a loss which no time can repair!—She was once too, blooming in the loveliness of youthful health; but, disease will blight the fairest blossoms of our hope; she came forth as a flower, and was cut down. The vigour of her mind remained unshaken to the last, and the expiring moments of her departing life was a scene of the most awful and interesting solemnity; her heavenly spirit tumbled on her lips, and—left them without a murmur! The pious devotion and humility, the submissive resignation, and peaceful forbearance with which she sustained her sufferings, during the long and painful afflictions of a pulmonary consumption, and the calm contentment with which she resigned her life—a life of every happiness, but health, afford the consoling presage that she will meet the just recompense of exalted worth, from a God who delights in virtue, and inherit perpetual felicity in the realm of Angels!
Let bland affection pay its tribute here, Bereft of her who never can return; Let sorrowing friendship drop a feeling tear, And virtue wreath a chaplet for her urn!
Miranda again.—By the arrival this forenoon of the schooner Pearl, capt. Goold, from Porto-Rico, we understand that accounts are received that Miranda after having experienced the partial defeat mentioned in a late paper, re-embarked his troops at Coro, stood further up the river, and effected a second landing; and that on the 25th of August he had been joined by 10,000 Spaniards. Such was the news at Porto Rico, when capt. Goold sailed.
N. Y. Evening Post.
Letters now in the hands of respectable commercial men in this city, from their correspondents in England and France, state that the fitting out of Miranda's expedition in America was then the leading topic of conversation in all the circles at Paris. That they considered this country as implicated in it, and responsible for the part it took. That the Emperor's
indignation was raised to its highest key; that no doubt was entertained of his having been brooding in the recesses of his mind, purposes of signal vengeance, and that the people in general partook, though not in so great a degree of his resentment.—Mercy upon us all, what will become of our cabinet now.—We may address them in the words of Fallstaff a little paraphrased. "Tell me art thou not horribly afraid?" "thou being President could the world pick the out three such enemies again as that fiend General "Whiskerandos, that spirit Yrujo, and that devil "Napoleon? Art thou not horribly afraid?"—Doth "not thy blood thrill at it."
It was yesterday confidently asserted by persons whose authority is entitled to respect, that a gentleman, but the day before, arrived from Washington informed them that General Turreau, the French Ambassador, had waited on the President and demanded in the name of the Emperor his master, that the executive should immediately suppress the work, entitled, "A HISTORY OF THE COURT OF ST. CLOUD," and interpose its authority to prevent the publication of the third edition of that work which is advertised to be in the press, and that the President declined it, that if he were disposed to intermeddle with the press, his power did not extend so far. Upon which General Turreau replied, that if he did not do it, the Emperor Napoleon would. For the authenticity of this we cannot vouch.—But we can readily conceive the court of France to make that demand from our government when he made one of the same kind from Great Britain.

The editor of the Intelligencer when he would tell a fib, prefaces it with a sentence in favour of candour and truth; when the truth in federal papers cuts and carbonadoes this "monstrum horrendum ingens," he talks of scurrility and accuses them of falsehood.
In the last intelligencer he makes an extract from the United States Gazette respecting Yrujo, and the absence of the no cabinet from the seat of government; and after pronouncing the statements as false, holds his peace with respect to a part, and proceeds to acknowledge the truth of the rest. The United States Gazette, says, that Dr. Thornton penned and delivered into Miranda's hand, a constitution for Caracas. And, as this was not probably said without foundation, the Intelligencer calls it an "idle tale."
Is it "false" that the President and heads of departments are all absent, and have been for many weeks? No. But Smith would justify it. He says they may be absent with propriety a "few weeks during that season in which bilious complaints are most prevalent in towns." This is no excuse here, though it might have been in Philadelphia. Washington is not like a closely settled populous city.—Its atmosphere is more salubrious at this time of the year than almost any plantation in the country. It is altogether an "idle tale" to talk about the danger of bilious attacks. Nevertheless Smith will always find some excuse for every impropriety in the conduct of the administration.
We would not, however, be understood to say, that the President and the heads of the departments should never be absent; but surely 'tis unjustifiable to be all absent together; the President, Vice President, the four secretaries, Post-master-general and Attorney-general; and for many weeks together.
Smith asks whether Mr. Jefferson, or the great body of the democrats, condemned the occasional absence of a part of the administration; and denies that they did. They however did, or pretended to condemn it. Mr. Jefferson may be said to have condemned it, because he patronized the papers that were constantly in the habit of so condemning it.—And in the same manner he may be said, and, we believe, with the utmost justice, to have been the greatest reviler of Washington, and the greatest promoter of the Whiskey Insurrection, because he helped to establish the National Gazette, and wrote, or, at least patronized, those numerous essays which were intended to prove the impolicy and unconstitutionality of the Whiskey tax, and which loudly called on the people to resist its operation; and he wrote, or patronised, and encouraged those billingsgate attack on the federal administration, and on the character of Washington; and in the same manner he paid Callender, of whose attacks on Washington, nothing need be said. Thus, did Mr. Jefferson condemn the absence of the members of the federal administration formerly. Mr. Smith may "deny both," and he may deny that he will fib, and make paltry excuses for his masters; but 'tis nevertheless true, that the President, the President, and the great body of the democrats, did at least pretend to condemn but a partial absence formerly.
Smith asks whether the public concerns are prejudiced? Yes they are, or at least, liable to be. How was it that Mr. Madison, or even Dr. Thornton, could not be spared from Washington to attend Ogden's trial? on account of great and pressing public business; yet soon after, the whole administration could flee without injuring the public concerns.
The following paragraph has all the malignity, meanness and falsehood, of the author:
"Lastly, general Dearborn is on a visit to Monticello. This too is criminal! Shame upon humanity! After having recovered from a long illness, his travelling for the restoration of health is, with UNFEELING BRUTALITY censured!"
How pitiful is this flagrant falsehood. No man ever "censured" Mr. Dearborn for travelling for the RE-NEST OF HIS HEALTH."
Again, Smith concludes, "One question only remains to be asked. Has there been a single instance pointed out, in which it has been shown that the public interest has suffered by the absence of these officers? Not one? we confidently add, not one can be adduced."
We sincerely believe, the "public interest" would be inconceivably benefitted, if they would never come back again.

Washington, Sept. 30, 1806. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. The secretary of War arrived here yesterday from Monticello.
The secretary of the treasury, we understand, is expected at the seat of government to-morrow. The President is expected at Washington on the 4th. And the secretary of state by the 7th instant.
Extract of a letter from Major Claiborne, private secretary of governor Claiborne, dated New-Orleans, August 29, 1806.
"It is now within a few minutes of the time when letters must go to the post-office. I have waited to give you some information from Natchitoches, in case any should arrive; but no dispatches are received from governor Claiborne, nor do we hear any thing more of the governor of Taxos and his nine hundred men."
"The city of New-Orleans is in perfect tranquillity; and the inhabitants thereof and of the country continue to enjoy entire good health. The summer has been mild, and the rains frequent and refreshing."
Extract of a letter from St. Stephens, Mississippi-Territory, dated August 30.
"The Spaniards have just passed an order, allowing us to navigate the Mobile river. But we are still, as I understand it, to pay twelve per centum on
all exports, and on all our imports, and to go ten miles out of our way to Mobile, in order to do this. It was paid on provisions for the troops, just come up. And yet I know it will be trumpeted over the United States by persons residing in the Spanish dominions, that all difficulties are removed by Spain, and that we have now a free trade. We are happy in the belief that the government of the United States will make us befriended."
CONTINUATION OF
Foreign Intelligence,
From London Papers received at the Office of the Publick Ledger, by the Ship Sheffield, Captain Davis.
LONDON, August 11.
Yesterday we received Paris Papers of the 1st, Dutch of the 5th, and the Hamburg correspondent of the 30th ult. they afford no intelligence whatever repeating the important objects which are supposed to occupy the different cabinets of the Continent.
A convocation of the representatives of the persons of the Jewish persuasion, resident within the French empire, has been assembled at Paris, by order of Buonaparte. What the object of this extraordinary meeting can be, is said to be a secret to those who are best informed in that Capital. The ostensible motive for this strange convention is to effect a reformation in the morals of that class of people; but where was the necessity for thus designating and branding a particular sect? It would, perhaps be quite as decorous, if he began his experiment, in national morality, with some of the native French. He has, however, contrived to collect at Paris all that there is of the greatest respectability among that nation, and we shall be not a little surprised, if they are suffered to escape without discussing other points, besides those abstractions of morals and religion.
It is mentioned in some of the minor French papers, that M. D'Oubril, as he was on his way to Russia, dispatched a courier to Dalmatia and Cattaro. Are we to infer from this, that he has transmitted orders for the evacuation of the latter place? this would be a very gratuitous supposition. It is not very likely that he would take such a weight of responsibility upon himself, without previously communicating with his own court. The French do not appear much inclined to indulge in these extraordinary expansions of confidence. It is intimated in the same article, that none of the Russian prisoners are to be liberated until the ratification of the treaty shall be received from St. Petersburg.
The reduction of the Dutch marine, we find, was only a partial proceeding. Two sail of the line, which were unfit for service, and some of the invalids, were separated from the regular marine establishment. This was the extent of the reform which was magnified by some American Captains into a total dismantling of the Dutch navy, and disbending of its crews.
Sir A. Paget may be expected with the next mail from Germany; he arrived at Hamburg on the 29th ult.
August 16.
The "DELICATE INVESTIGATION" seems now to have been merely a nine days wonder; but, unless the MORNING POST comes forward with some report, or some satisfactory statement, upon the subject in a very few days, I shall convince my readers, that this paper, at any rate, is not to be silenced.—"MUM," is now become the word; but, any one man has the power, if he has the will, to prevent the matter from being so hushed up.
(Cobett's Register.)
Declaration in council of his majesty the king of Prussia, to the assembled deputies of the Hanoverian Provinces. [Referred to in our last, under the London date of Aug. 14.]
GENTLEMEN,
By your appointment, your deputy Count Von Hardenberg, has laid before me your representation of the 3d inst. and I have observed from it, with satisfaction, that you have acknowledged with gratitude my regulation with regard to the Hanoverian States. The additional sentiments therein contained are to me a security, that you will henceforth be devoted to me and to my house with the same loyalty which you discovered for your former sovereigns. I therefore have made no delay in more closely learning from your delegates those concerns that were entrusted to them by you, and now communicate to you the following answer to the declaration given in by them:—1. With regard to the secularization of the Abbey of Marienrode, and the representation relative thereto, that not only the constitution of the states thereby suffered an alteration, but that one of the securities thereby appropriated to the payment of the publick revenue, and the discharge of the publick debt, would be withdrawn, should the revenues of the said Abbey be inseparably united with the possession of the domains, contrary to the legal agreement between the impropriators and the states, whereby the revenues accruing from secularized spiritual foundations should be distinctly and separately applied to charitable purposes: it should be observed, that this Abbey legally belongs to Hildesheim, and thus my particular regulation respecting the same can in no way prejudice the said constitution. Besides, I have expressly established in the act of secularization, that in the mean time no change shall take place in respect to the contribution chargeable upon this Abbey, towards the national revenue and the redemption of the publick debt. For the rest, as it is far from being my intention to alter the destination of the effects of the Abbey to charitable purposes, I feel satisfaction in assuring you, that the special administration of such parts as have been separated from the domains, and the application thereof to such beneficent and laudable purposes, shall be scrupulously continued, and the utmost care shall be taken both to augment these revenues by good management, and to ameliorate the mode of applying them, by the removal of existing abuses.—2. The ad-interim prohibition of home made salt is to be considered solely as an inevitable regulation of police for securing an equal supply of that article of primary necessity, and cannot have the apprehended pernicious consequences, since the supply of salt will not thereby be diminished, but will only receive another direction.—3. The continuance of the lutheran to existing constitution of the country in general, and 4. The continuance of the provincial constitutions, in particular, pre-suppose that a new and intimate acquaintance with them may be more necessary than the commission of organization has been able to procure, in so short a period, and under such difficult circumstances. But they will incessantly continue their labours in this respect, and I will not hereafter introduce any arbitrary changes, but such only as may be necessary to unite as intimately as possible the Hanoverian territory with my monarchy, of which it now constitutes a part, and to govern it by such laws as have been found, by long experience, the fundamental pillars of the power, the security and prosperity of the Prussian states; wherefrom the established constitution will be so little excluded, that it will much rather be built up and strengthened, as you may learn from the example of the neighbouring provinces, Brandenburg, Magdeburgh, and Halberstadt.—5. The petition, with regard to any new modifications, upon which the states, together with other privileged orders, who may, perhaps

have particular knowledge of the subject, should be consulted, before that introduction, on account of any injudicious consequences apprehended therefrom, is wholly conformable to the spirit of the maxims of the Prussian government, and will be pursued by the commission of organization in all doubtful cases whatsoever, and without particular instructions. Finally, the military regulations, as soon as it can be done with safety, shall be so modified, that the grievances of the country which are connected with the present extraordinary measures, shall wholly cease. From this answer you will infer, and I give you with pleasure the strongest assurances on this head, that my whole endeavours are exclusively directed to heal the wounds, which the hitherto unhappy wars have produced, and to render your country completely happy. Neither ambition, nor the lust of territory, but solely a conviction founded on experience, that the incorporation of the Hanoverian states with the Prussian monarchy, is obviously necessary for the welfare and security of both, have determined me to this union, and to the sacrifices connected with it. The past has taught you that England cannot protect you, and that you can be protected by Prussia alone. Prussia has now taken upon herself this protection, from which you have to expect greater security of persons and of property, as well as the abolition of all oppressive abuses which the distance of your rulers produced. But you must also closely unite with a government which has wrought you all these blessings, and support, with counsel and action, a constitution which has been decided upon for your benefit. On the other hand, I will always approve myself your gracious sovereign. (Signed) FREDERICK WILLIAM. Charlottenburg, June 24, 1806.
GAETA. Gaeta, built by the Greeks at the bottom of the Gulph which the ancients called Formium, 15 leagues from Naples, and 25 from Rome, existed before the foundation of this latter city. According to Virgil, Aeneas had his nurse interred there:
Tu quoque litoribus nostris Ænea natrix, Eternam moriens famam, Gaeta, dedisti. Antoninus repaired its port. After the fall of the empire, it was governed by dukes, who held it of the pope. Owing to the destruction of Formia and Minturnæ, it became most flourishing. Its neighbourhood is delightful. The Romans resorted to its coast as well as to that of Baya. It abounds with orange and lemon trees, myrtles and fragrant shrubs, through which ruins of old tombs are discoverable. The town, such as it is now, is still very strong. It is insulated, and communicates with the Continent only by a small piece of land. The port, built in a small semi-circular line, is bordered with quays furnished with artillery, and some works advancing towards the sea. The castle, on the foreland of the Gulph, was built in 1449, by Alphonsus, king of Arragon. Strangers do not fail to visit in that town several mountains, such as the tomb of Lucius Munatius Claudius, which is called there la Torre d'Orlando , (Roland's Tower); another tower much older, called Latrime , from several figures with dogs heads that have been found in it; and the tomb of the constable Charles de Bourbon, who died there while he was besieging Rome.
Within these 60 years, travellers were still shown at one of the gates of the castle of Gaeta, the skeleton of that illustrious warrior, whom the Popes would not allow to be interred in holy ground, because when he died, he was carrying on war against one of them. But the kings of the house of Bourbon put an end to that scandal, by having him properly buried in the principal church of Gaeta. There are handsome pictures in that church, and a christening font, which is considered as a most valuable piece of antiquity: it is a vase supported by four lions, made of a single marble, with bas-reliefs , representing no sitting on a rock, and sheltering one of her children in her bosom against the rage of her husband Athamas. At the bottom is the name of Sculpis, an Athenian sculptor. On one side of the chief altar, a white marble pillar is preserved, which is carved from the top to the bottom, and is said to have been used for the temple of Solomon. Without the town, there is a rock cleft thorough, which is very likely the effect of an earthquake. According to an holy tradition, that event occurred at the time of our Saviour's death, and on that account the rock is visited as a place of great devotion. Ships pass the bay by salute it.
RAMSGATE, Aug. 14. We have been in the utmost haste here the whole morning, in consequence of the unexpected arrival of the unexpected arrival of a large quantity of baggage, belonging to the Royal Waggon Train, from Canterbury, which are to be embarked as soon as transports shall arrive for their reception. The baggage was put into the king's store-house on the Pier; but as the stowage of it consumed a great deal of time, much embarrassment and confusion necessarily prevailed throughout the town in the interval, from the number and immense size of the waggons, which were unloaded successively. They leave us to-morrow, but are to return soon with the remainder of the baggage. Some reports state, that six Companies of the Waggon Train are under embarkation orders, while others limit them to two or three; all we know for certain is, that a considerable number of artillery and regulars are to embark as soon as transports can be provided for them. It was intended this day or tomorrow to strike the tents of the Perthshire Militia , which had been pitched some time ago on West Cliff; but as it is now certain that the embarkation will take place as soon as possible, this little encampment is to continue, in order to enable the Militia to accommodate the troops for embarkation with their barracks, during the stay which it might be necessary for them to make. Fatigued and harassed as they must feel from marching in hot weather, they will find even this temporary accommodation of the greatest advantage. The opinion prevalent in the West end of the town, or in the higher circles here is, that the Sicilian army will be augmented immediately to 50,000 men, for the purpose not only of retaining that island for its Sovereign, but likewise to take possession of Alexandria, in the event of negotiations being broken off between France and this country. It is added, that Government is aware, from the late treaty concluded between France and the Porte, of Buonaparte's design on Egypt, with a view of executing his former plans against our possessions in India. Contending with such an enemy at any time, but particularly in the humble state of the rest of Europe at this moment, the utmost energy and precaution are obviously indispensable, wherever the interest and independence of the empire may appear to be assailable. Whether transports arrive or not, two regiments are to come in on Saturday or Sunday at all events. The wind continues still blowing up Channel; in consequence of which there are about three hundred sail of various description lying at single anchor in the Downs ready to weigh with the first fair breeze. Lady Cochrane, who is among our fashionable visitors, has naturally felt great anxiety since she read the telegraphic account from the Admiralty, stating the French force, and that under the command of her gallant husband. Her son is also captain of one of the four ships composing the squadron, and her son-in-law is, I understand, the Admiral's fighting captain.
PARIS, August 3. The news of the signing of peace between France and Russia did not reach Germany till the end of Ju-
ly. It produced a sensation the more agreeable, since the movements which the troops began to make rather announced preparations for war, than an approaching return of the troops into the interior.
Letters from Rome speak of an approaching election of five cardinals.
August 4. We are assured that a deputation from Dalmatia has arrived in Paris. It is remarkable enough, that the opening of the Hebrew Synod took place precisely on their sabbath. The Jewish Law forbids every kind of employment on this day, and, notwithstanding, the members of the assembly took a part, without repugnance, in every thing which the circumstance demanded of them. Distinguished by their wealth, their intelligence, and their piety, they wished to give to their brethren an example, which, doubtless, will not be lost. This single trait will enable us to judge, how much they are disposed to enter into those views which have occasioned their convocation.
Assembly of French Deputies Professing the Religion of the Jews.
SECOND SITTING. The Commissioners of his Majesty having entered the Hall, M. Mole, who was at their head, addressed the Assembly as follows:
"GENTLEMEN, "His Majesty the Emperor and King having appointed us commissioners to treat with you, respecting your own affairs, has sent us here this day for the purpose of communicating his intentions. Called from the farthest parts of this vast empire, none of you can be ignorant of the purpose for which you are assembled here. You are aware that the conduct of many of those who profess your religion has given rise to complaints which have reached the foot of the Throne. These complaints were not without foundation. The Emperor, notwithstanding, contented himself with arresting the progress of the evil, and wished to have your opinion on the means of radically curing it. You will, no doubt, prove yourselves deserving of this paternal consideration, and you will feel the value of the important mission which is confided to you. Far from regarding the government under which you live, as a power of which you should be suspicious, your study will be to enlighten it, to co-operate with it in the good which it is preparing; and by thus manifesting that you are protected by the experience of all the French, you will prove, that you have no wish to separate yourselves from other classes of society.
"The laws which have been imposed upon persons of your religion have been different at all times; they have been too often dictated by the exigency of the moment. But, as like this, so, in like manner, you, for the first time, are to be impartially judged, and your fate decided by a christian prince. It is his majesty's wish that you should become French; it is your duty to accept this title, and to consider that you, in fact, renounce it, whenever you show yourselves unworthy of it.
"You shall hear the questions read, which are to be proposed to you. It will be your duty to declare the whole truth upon each of them. We now declare to you, and we shall never cease to repeat it to you, that when a sovereign, as firm as he is just, who knows every thing, who can punish as well as reward, interrogates his subjects, they would render themselves blind to their real interests, if they should hesitate about answering freely and frankly.
"It is his majesty's wish, Gentlemen, that you should enjoy perfect freedom of deliberation. Your president will communicate your answers to us as soon as they are prepared. As to ourselves, we have no more ardent wishes than to be able to inform the emperor, that among his subjects of the Jewish religion, there are none whose loyalty is not unquestionable, and who are not disposed to conform to those laws and morals, which it is the duty of all Frenchmen to practise and follow."
The following questions, proposed by his majesty, were then read by the secretary of the meeting.
1. Is the Jew permitted to marry more than one wife? 2. Is divorce permitted by the Jewish religion? 3. Can a Jewess intermarry with a Christian, or a Christian female with a Jew; or does the law prescribe that Jews alone should intermarry? 4. Are the French in the eyes of the Jews brothers or allies? 5. What in all cases are the connexions which their law permits them to maintain with the French who are not of their religion? 6. Do the Jews who are born in France, and have been treated as French citizens by the laws, consider France as their native country? Are they bound to defend it? Are they under an obligation to obey the laws, and to follow all the regulations of the civil code? 7. Who are they who are called Rabbins? 8. What civil jurisdiction do the Rabbins exercise among the Jews? What power of punishment do they possess? 9. Are the mode of chusing the Rabbins, and the system of punishment, regulated by the Jewish laws, or are they only rendered sacred by custom? 10. Were the Jews forbidden by their laws to take usury of their brethren? Are they permitted or forbidden to do this of strangers? 11. Are these things proclaimed, which are forbidden to the Jews by their law?
MUNICH, July 29. The following is the treaty concluded between the emperor of the French and king of Bavaria, relative to the military line to be drawn in a part of the Tyrol contiguous to the kingdom of Italy.
His majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy, and his majesty the king of Bavaria, wishing to settle the military line which shall be established in Italian Tyrol, have resolved to proceed to the settling of this arrangement, and have therefore named the following plenipotentiaries, viz. marshal Berthier, on the part of his majesty the emperor of the French, and M. De Montgelas, on that of the king of Bavaria, who having exchanged their respective powers, have agreed upon the following articles:
Art. 1. His majesty the king of Bavaria engages, as well for himself as his successors, never to construct any fortifications, nor to form any magazine of war, or any cordon of troops in the whole division of Italian Tyrol, situated to the south, and comprised between the military line to be laid down in art. 2, and the frontier of the kingdom of Italy. His majesty engages also not to occupy, in a military manner, the line and the countries of which the names are contained in the 2d article.
2. The military line agreed upon in art. 1. will commence from Roveredo, and will follow to the east the left bank of the Adige, ascending that river as far as Mattarello. It will pass on to Valsorda, Vigolo, Bosentino, Calceranico, Caldronazzo, and by the road of Levico as far as that town; from hence it will follow to the east of the valley of the Brenta, passing by St. Desiderio, Marter, Montecello, Borgo di Valsugana, Castel Nuovo, Grigno, Belven, Iezze, to the frontier of the kingdom of Italy. To the west, the line leaving Roveredo, will stretch on to Sacchio, and cross the Adige: it will pass by Isara, Polas, Comolice, Mount Siwa, St. Giacomo, and Arco; from this last town it will descend the torrent Sarca, as far as Chiaran and St. Pietro, following the limits of the territory of Terno. Passing from thence to Balin, it will follow the limits of the valley of Ledro, and the heights of Dro, falling down the torrent as far as Bonte; descending the stream of the Arno, by Breju and Tion, till the
junction of the Arno with the Sarca; it will descend this last river, passing by Dare, Vign, Bocenago, Giustin, Vadajou, Baldin, St. Vigilio; it will follow the path of Mavignola, the road and the stream which conduct to St. Maria di Campiglio, to Campo, and Mount Campel; then descending the stream Meledrio, it will stretch itself by St. Brigida and Dimaro, as far as the junction of that stream with that of Noce; it will ascend this last, passing by Ravina, Martellina, Pizzano, & Curiano, as far as the junction of that stream with the Pei; and descending that stream, it will pass by Callentino, Calladizzo, Cagolo, Pejo; from thence ascending the stream of the Noce or Nauno, it will extend to the mountain Del Corno, which forms the boundary between Italy, Switzerland, and the Tyrol, in such a way that the mountain Tonale shall be comprised among the points which cannot be fortified, entrenched, or occupied as a military position.
3. No fortification or entrenchment shall be constructed on the military line marked out by the foregoing article, nor at the distance of 500 toises to the north of the line, that is, on the side of German Tyrol.
4. The reservation of a part of Italian Tyrol, in favour of the kingdom of Italy, mentioned in the first article of process verbal of the surrender of the Tyrol to his majesty the king of Bavaria, being annulled by the present treaty, his said majesty will immediately take possession of the abovementioned portion of Italian Tyrol, to enjoy it, he, his heirs, and successors, in full and entire sovereignty, saving the exceptions made in the 1st, 2d, and 3d articles.
The ratifications of the present treaty shall be exchanged in the course of 12 days, or sooner, if it can be done. Signed at Munich, May 25, 1806.
HAMBURGH, Aug. 5. In the act of confederation of the new Rhenish League, there is an article, according to which all neighbouring princes, who may wish in future to join the confederation, shall be admitted into it. In place of the Royal dignity, the Prince of Baden and the Landgrave of Hesse Darmstadt will assume that of Grand Duke, and being entitled "their Royal highnesses."
Baden receives the sovereignty over the territories of the Prince of Leiningen, and Furstenberg; Bavaria and Wurtemberg share between them Suabia and Franconia; Darmstadt receives Friedberg; Prince Joachim four fifths of the territory of Nassau, the remainder of which falls to the share of the Prince of Nassau-Weilburg.
The deputies of the new states will assemble at Frankfort on the Maine, on the 1st of September; Napoleon may be present in person.
Since the conclusion of peace between France and Russia, the fears of a new breach between France and Austria are wholly dissipated; and it is hoped that the consequences will be seen in the altered movements of the troops, as soon as the treaty of peace is Ratified by Russia. It is also expected that Austria will then give its assent to the Federation of the Rhine.
GIBRALTAR, July 12. The Spanish government has issued orders to put thirteen regiments of infantry, two of artillery, and twelve of militia, on the footing of war; but the destination of these troops is not known. Many are the conjectures in which people indulge upon this subject, the least probable of which is certainly that of an approaching rupture with France. Not but that there are sufficient grounds for it. The unworthy usage which the Spanish monarch has lately had to bear from Buonaparte, for having ventured to intercede in behalf of the king of Naples, and hesitated to subscribe the required renunciation to his rights to that throne; the obligation imposed upon him to continue at war with England, however ruinous that war may prove; the imperious command so recently laid upon him to Sweden, though the melancholy condition of the Spanish commerce rendered her friendship more necessary to Sp. than ever; and finally, the heavy tributes which are exacted from him, while his army and navy are left without pay, and almost every class of his subjects is reduced to the greatest straits; all these would certainly warrant a rupture; but nothing of the kind can be expected. Buonaparte's diplomatic aid-de-camp (Duroc) is at this very moment on an extraordinary mission at Madrid, and the Spanish government appears to be even lost to a sense of its degradation. Others suppose, that the regulars are to be employed in expeditions beyond the seas, while the militia will do their duty in the interior; and this opinion is corroborated by the order sent to the commander of the Cadiz squadron to hold himself ready to sail, at a moment's warning, with 8 sail, however manned; and by the well known want in which Spanish America stands of assistance from the mother country.
But, on the other hand, how could the Spanish government think of exposing part of its army, and the remnants of its navy, to almost certain destruction, informed as it is that lord Collingwood is at the mouth of the harbour from which the expedition must sail, and that the Atlantic is covered with our fleets? The third opinion, which sends these troops to Portugal to garrison the sea ports from which it is intended to exclude the English ships, is the least unlikely; and we should not be surprised, if the king had consented to the measure, however contrary to his inclinations, to prevent the state of his son-in-law being over-run with French troops.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 14. The reports on the subject of a misunderstanding with the Porte have been cleared up, and contradicted by the following article in our Court Gazette:
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 14. "A short time ago, a very strong measure was taken by the government here, against such Turkish subjects as carried on their commerce under the Russian flag. The design of the Porte was to force them to relinquish this flag. These regulations were considered by the people as foreboding a speedy rupture with Russia. On the one hand, the existing commotions in the Turkish provinces, and on the other, the mediation of foreign missions, have induced the government to send orders to all the governors of provinces to contradict the prevailing report of a misunderstanding with Russia, and to leave the Firmans, in relation to the flags, without effect, until new orders. It is beyond all doubt, that the whole business is fully settled, conformably to the good understanding that exists between the two powers. By a mutual agreement between the Russian ambassador, and the Turkish ministry, the affair will be left to the examination of the Russian embassy for commercial affairs, conjointly with the admiralty here."

LAND for SALE.
The Subscriber wishes to sell his Plantation, called BARN ELMS,
Lyving on the Plankank River in the County of Middlesex, consisting of 1140 acres of Land, that is surpassed by few estates of the county in goodness of quality.
It has on it a spacious Dwelling, consisting of two houses, of brick walls, covered with cypress, connected by a covered way, with two commodious rooms, and a very spacious one in one of the buildings, and four commodious ones with a store-room, and several closets in the other, with an excellent cellar of three rooms, and a vault—A kitchen and laundry with two rooms below stairs of brick, and covered with cypress, (as are the houses generally on the estate) two dairies, a smoke-house, a stable of brick walls, covered with cypress, and lately done up in the best manner—A house for carriages and other purposes, 42 feet by 20, new and of good materials, with a hip'd roof that affords a spacious apartment; an ice-house 20 feet square, built last fall of excellent materials, and painted (as will be most of the buildings during the fall) with a small barn, to which another is about to be added of the dimensions of the carriage house before mentioned—A spacious falling garden, with a good bow-potato, on which much care and attention have been bestowed, in order to render it desirable with a good effect, a d'ha around it a good enclosure, principally of cedar posts, and cypress pails.
The Lands about the house are laid off in convenient yards, with excellent enclosures about them; and those adjoining them to the extent of 50 or 60 acres in lots, which have been much improved, and are under tolerable good enclosures.
The Subscriber has been induced from the great advantages possessed by the situation of this estate, to spend much of his time in improving it, (and has in some measure succeeded) expecting to have made it his residence, it lying in a situation to preclude intrusion, though on the navigable waters of the Plankank, affording a ready conveyance to or from Baltimore and Norfolk, from the latter of which, it is distant 70 miles by land, and about 100 by water, and 72 from Richmond—This river affords perhaps a greater variety of the advantages attending an establishment on the water, than any other in our State; it certainly does in proportion to its extent, there being the finest sheep's-head, rock, oysters, crabs, and a variety of other fine fish, to be taken from it in their respective seasons—To a Sportsman, there would be a great fund of amusement, there being a great many deers and foxes in the neighbourhood, and snipe in the swamp, and an innumerable stock of patridges on the estate, with other game common to that part of the country.
There are about 500 acres of the Land cleared, that have been in cultivation for some time, and by the end of the year there will be 40 or 50 more cut down and logged, in order to be taken up at any time the proprietor may choose, and about 300 acres of the Wood Land lies in such a manner as to be cleared and cultivated to advantage. It may be well to remark, that the subscriber's disposition to sell this Tract of Land, does not proceed from any unhappiness of the situation, it being on the contrary, one of the most healthy perhaps to be found on our water courses.
I deem it unnecessary to say any thing here of the terms on which the estate would be sold, as it is expected that any person disposed to purchase, will view the Lands previous to their being an occasion of his being thereof informed, which he may be at Barn Elms, at any time after the first of November next.
I would also sell 400 acres of Land, lying in the county of Gloucester, near Capahosick Ferry, and in the neighbourhood of Mr. William Jones's, and Thomas Fox, Esq.—Also, 750 acres, lying in the county of King and Queen, near the New Dragon Bridge.

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 informed) 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 still 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 a d'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,

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 drawing, 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 dollars, 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 renewed 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 Robt. 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 patriotic reasons which induced the legislature to authorise this Lottery, it is ardently hoped that the disposition of tickets, will soon enable the commissioners to certify, that the drawing has commenced; which event, the agent assures the public, shall be expedited by every means in his power.

It is conveniently situated with respect to Norfolk market, being about 5 miles distant by water, and 9 by land. It is contiguous to Broad-Creek, which abounds in good oysters; it is well timbered, and has a good landing.
