40 quarter casks Sherry WINE, 5 pipes fourth proof Cognac BRANDY. For Sale by Moses Myers & Son. October 18.
A small, but Valuable FARM for Sale. THE SUBSCRIBER owns a Farm of about 200 acres, in the County of York, which he is disposed to sell—it lies nearly half way between the towns of York and Hampton, and is bounded on its southern side by the main road leading from Hampton, through York and Williamsburg to Richmond. It would therefore be a good stand for a Tavern or Store, or the Shop of a Mechanick; the soil is every where fertile, and in some parts highly so; and perhaps no land promises, from the nature of soil and other advantages, with more certainty to reward its cultivator. It lies near a Water-Gist and Saw Mill, and within about two miles of a good publick landing. The river on which this landing is established, is remarkable for the fine quality as well as the abundance of its Fish and Oysters. Upon the upper part of the land, there is a small Dwelling-House, in which there is a tenant for the present year; but the house is of little value; there are two other buildings on the land. Mr. General Robinson, who resides near it will show it to any one disposed to view it; and either he or Capt. Malory Tuck, of Smithfield, or Mr. Richard Young, of Warwick Town will treat for the sale of it, or a portion may be made to Merit M. Robinson. Smithfield, October 18.

It is a matter of the most recent intelligence from Europe, there are strong reasons for believing that the war between Austria and France will be renewed.
It is a matter of the most recent intelligence from Europe, there are strong reasons for believing that the war between Austria and France will be renewed. The determination of Great-Britain to reinforce her armies in Spain and Portugal, and the exertions of Austria to recruit her armies, indicate the renewal of hostilities.
But if when the expedition sailed, it had proceeded with only 30,000 of the troops to the North of Spain, the situation of Ney and Soult, would have been perilous in the extreme. If the war is to be renewed, powerful diversions in Spain and Portugal, appear to be the best mode of co-operation, which England can adopt, in aiding the common cause.

BALTIMORE, November 3.
LATE FROM PORTUGAL.
Fair American, Hobson, just arrived in 26 days from Lisbon. No news—British and Spanish armies as by last accounts. A letter from a British colonel dated Badajoz, Sept. 19, speaks with some confidence of the ultimate success of the patriots; provided the war in Germany continues until permanent arrangements are completed for supplying the troops. The combined armies were receiving reinforcements: particularly the Portuguese division, a succession of small detachments daily arriving from almost every town in Portugal. The French were not advancing. The British head-quarters continued at Badajoz—troops extending towards Merida.
Capt. H. politely supplied the editor of the Federal Gazette with Lisbon papers to the 8th October. Extracts to-morrow.
COMMUNICATED.
By the 32d bulletin of the French army in Spain, giving an account of the capture of Ferrol, it appears there was then in that port
8 Ships of 112 guns,
2 do. 88
1 do. 74
2 do. 64
3 frigates and a considerable number of corvettes, brigs and unarmed vessels, more than 1500 pieces of cannon of every size, and ammunition of all kinds.
This "beautiful squadron" as it is called in the bulletin, has been restored to the patriots, by the evacuation of Galicia. It seems that the pretended king Joseph must have been in the disagreeable dilemma of either giving up Madrid, or the squadron, and he preferred the latter, which can scarcely be of less importance to the Spanish cause than Madrid itself. It was perhaps to be king de facto, as some of Buonaparte's tools here, have styled him, that he gave the preference he did, but it falls short of the other title which they recognize, that of king at arms. The ships he might have annihilated, or varied away, the people can neither be annihilated, nor changed in their hearts, and the longer he tyrannizes over them, the more he will be detested.

LATE FROM PORTUGAL.
Fair American, Hobson, just arrived in 26 days from Lisbon. No news—British and Spanish armies as by last accounts. A letter from a British colonel dated Badajoz, Sept. 19, speaks with some confidence of the ultimate success of the patriots; provided the war in Germany continues until permanent arrangements are completed for supplying the troops. The combined armies were receiving reinforcements: particularly the Portuguese division, a succession of small detachments daily arriving from almost every town in Portugal. The French were not advancing. The British head-quarters continued at Badajoz—troops extending towards Merida.
Capt. H. politely supplied the editor of the Federal Gazette with Lisbon papers to the 8th October. Extracts to-morrow.
COMMUNICATED.
By the 32d bulletin of the French army in Spain, giving an account of the capture of Ferrol, it appears there was then in that port
8 Ships of 112 guns,
2 do. 88
1 do. 74
2 do. 64
3 frigates and a considerable number of corvettes, brigs and unarmed vessels, more than 1500 pieces of cannon of every size, and ammunition of all kinds.
This "beautiful squadron" as it is called in the bulletin, has been restored to the patriots, by the evacuation of Galicia. It seems that the pretended king Joseph must have been in the disagreeable dilemma of either giving up Madrid, or the squadron, and he preferred the latter, which can scarcely be of less importance to the Spanish cause than Madrid itself. It was perhaps to be king de facto, as some of Buonaparte's tools here, have styled him, that he gave the preference he did, but it falls short of the other title which they recognize, that of king at arms. The ships he might have annihilated, or varied away, the people can neither be annihilated, nor changed in their hearts, and the longer he tyrannizes over them, the more he will be detested.
There are a number of difficulties in the way of receiving this letter, as that which it professes to be.
If there has been a secret understanding between the courts of Copenhagen and St. Petersburg, it would have been taken that it should not be thus indirectly published by the government of Norway.
But we do not think that the king of Denmark either fears Buonaparte so little, or loves the British government so well, as to have entered into an amicable negotiation.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Practicability of retaining Walcheren.
TERVEER, September 10.
"As the erection of batteries along the coast opposite to Beveland has already actually commenced, there can be no doubt of the determination of the ministers to retain this island, if they can."
That determination indeed is now generally admitted, but upon what grounds it rests, how far they are just and reasonable, or what probability offers of success, the more intelligent persons with whom I have conversed here, seem quite unable to discover.
In considering this question, the first observation that naturally occurs to one's mind, is this, that all the alarm which has pervaded England for the last four or five years, with regard to the practicability of an invasion, and which alarm our government has been so industrious in circulating, must be quite groundless, nay even childish, if it be impracticable on the part of the enemy to invade Walcheren.
England is separated from Boulogne, from the nearest point of the French coast from which there is a probability of any attempt at invasion being made, at least 40 or 50 miles.
Walcheren is separated from Beveland by a channel not wider in some places than about three quarters of a mile.
England may be defended against an invasion by her great naval force; a ship of the line cannot sail through the channel which divides Walcheren from Beveland; a frigate or a brig cannot work in it at low water; nay even a gun-boat is in danger of being stranded.
The part of the channel to which I apply this observation, borders about 7 miles of this coast, between this town and Rammekens.
In some places it is about two, or between two and three miles wide, but it narrows considerably as you approach Geatland.
Along this little island, which is only separated from Walcheren by a natural canal, that is fordable at low water, the distance across to Beveland, is, as I have already stated, about three quarters of a mile.
At low water it is considerably less, very little wider indeed than the Thames at Westminster bridge, and not by any means so deep.
The sailors here, who are acquainted with the channel, assert that it is only 5 or 6 feet deep in several parts at low water.
This narrow and shallow channel is about a mile and a half in length.
Now, whether such a channel can present any serious obstacle to him, who could with such magical expedition throw bridges across the rapid current of the Danube, I shall leave it to men of common sense to decide.
An intelligent naval officer has assured me, that the enemy by simply throwing a rope or two across the slack water in this channel, merely by this expedient might contrive with a very few boats to take a large force over in the course of a single night.
That no material assistance can be derived from our navy for the defence of the island, in the quarter upon which I have been observing, is here admitted as an indisputable fact.
No one pretends that a frigate or brig could work in at low water, and that even gun boats are very liable to be stranded, I know from my own observation.
When our vessels first sailed down the channel I alluded to, I saw several of the gun boats stranded.
Indeed, the greater part of them were in that state at low water, although the utmost pains had been taken to sound the channel before any of the gun boats or transports sailed into it, and a range of boats had been placed along as buoys.
The navigation of this channel is extremely intricate, is rendered still more so by the occasional shifting of the sands, which alter their position sometimes twice or thrice a year.
This intricacy, indeed, is evident from the time consumed by our vessels in passing in the first instance from Terveer to the West Scheldt.
The greater part of the transports, nay even the gun boats, were from three to five days in making their way through a channel, not more than eight miles long.
The delay, indeed, of bringing up the gun boats by this navigation, has always been assigned as the reason why the intercourse between Causand and Flushing was so long open.
Certainly as soon as the gun boats reached the Scheldt, that intercourse was stopped.
But, when the frost sets in, what is to become of any boats we may venture to station in this channel? I am aware that it is seldom frozen quite across.
The ice is generally broken up by the tides but shall our boats or brigs be exposed to flakes of ice, so drifted down a narrow channel? and what is to be expected in case it is entirely frozen?
Such cases have occurred. In 1788 and 1796 the ice was such that several persons passed over to Beveland from this town which is one of the widest parts of the channel.
The ice, however, has never been strong enough to bear artillery, at least within the memory of the present generation; but when Buonaparte once makes good his landing in this island, he will not feel much difficulty in bringing over his artillery.
But even though our navy may be unable, under the circumstances I have stated, to offer any material assistance to the invasion of this island from Beveland.
It may be said that such an invasion will be guarded against by the number and nature of the batteries, which it is proposed to erect along the coast.
Indeed I have heard this asserted by some persons here, but certainly not by those who have any great military experience or capacity of observation.
For if batteries could effectually withstand Buonaparte how limited would his military progress have been? Indeed if batteries could form a secure defence against him we might establish a position on any part of the French territory as well as at Walcheren; that is, if he afforded us leisure to erect batteries; and I very much doubt whether he will allow us that leisure even here.
Present appearances seem to justify that doubt. Already our troops have completely evacuated Beveland; and such is the rapidity of the enemy's movements, that our army had scarcely embarked when the Dutch flag was hoisted at Baths.
Our troops coming down the Scheldt distinctly saw him and you may depend upon it that such a spectacle was viewed by them with peculiar chagrin.
Indeed

There are now in the field... the Tyrolese have been... the Tyrolese have been... the Tyrolese have been...
We cannot venture upon any... to disturb him, at least with the force... to be retained in this island... 13,000 men... 25,000 have thought it prudent to fly...
THE TYROLEANS. A private letter from Munich, dated August 20... My present sojourn in the capital enables me to acquaint you with the disasters which befell the Bavarian troops in their late incursion into the Tyrol.
As the insurgents were totally abandoned by the Austrians on the 29th of July; as the greatest want of harmony was reported to prevail amongst them... as they were said to be without artillery, leaders, and provisions, and their cowardice already known; as they had not hitherto the courage to support an attack made upon them with the bayonet, or to face our artillery, nor even fired but from their lurking places, it was universally supposed they would be soon swayed to unconditional submission...
It no sooner entered the narrow pass near Pflers, behind Landeck, when it was assailed by the insurgents... the column which advanced towards Landeck was exposed to still greater havoc, for the measure of defence which had been adopted in the year 1805 was still exacting.
of the mountains. The column which advanced... a little before to two thousand men, who had been... and three other columns... a proportionable loss—only 1500 were able to save themselves. The Tyrolese fought with incredible fury. They rushed upon the batteries, and threw themselves into the midst of the cavalry. Nothing could resist their impetuosity. During the retreat, 100 of these mountaineers fell with 30 hussars near Schwatz. They charged with such fury, that not a single horseman escaped. This column, in its retreat to Innsbruck, lost almost all its artillery and ammunition. To that point that the whole of the army directed their retreat; but even there they found the mountains seized by the insurgents, who pursued, and by those who effected in the commencement, to submit. On the 12th and 13th, two most sanguinary battles were fought. The Bavarians wished to dislodge the Tyrolese from the heights; and though they renewed the attack seven times, they were each time repulsed with the greatest slaughter. The insurgents afterwards broke through, armed only with hunting pieces, unprovided with bayonets, into the thickest ranks of our troops; and would, in all probability, have killed or taken our whole army, had they succeeded in destroying the bridge over the Inn Hall. As this project failed, the Bavarians were able, during the 14th and 15th, to continue their retreat to Wurzel, behind Rattenberg. There they took up a position some time; and had afterwards the good fortune to reach Kustein and Salzburg. In the battle of the 13th, near Innsbruck the Tyrolese lost 1000 men, and the French and Bavarians 5000 in killed, besides wounded and prisoners.
The principal leader of the insurgents is a man of the name of Hoffer. When summoned by the Duke of Dantzick to deliver up his arms before the 10th of August, he wrote him back an answer, desiring him to send two of his aid-de-camps, who should decide—whether the Duke, in the year 1795 when he was only gen. Lefebvre, at the head of such a force as he (Hoffer) commanded, would have obeyed a similar summons. The insurgents are estimated at 80,000, a number which appears incredible; but several officers who have been present at the late occurrences, have assured me, that an army of 60,000 is so far sufficient to obtain possession of the country; and that even a force of that magnitude would be incompetent, unless the severest measures were adopted;—such as setting fire to the houses, driving away the cattle, occupying the sides of the mountains, and forcing the inhabitants to the tops of their alps, where they must either surrender, or perish by hunger. Should the war break out again, our own frontiers will, probably, be exposed to the greatest devastation; and we may expect to see retaliated upon ourselves a part of the calamities we intend for the Tyrolese.

Under the denomination of nervous disorders, in its full extent, are included several diseases of the most serious kind, and are so various, that a volume would hardly suffice to complete a description of them.

The most common symptoms at its commencement, are weakness, lassitude, palpitations, watchfulness, drowsiness after eating, timidity, flutters of heat and cold, agonistic cramp, gripings, pains in the head, back and loins, pick-up, difficulty of respiration and deglutition, anxiety and dry cough, &c.

THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law; the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public. No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the insured will be fully indemnified. The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire. HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 95 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.
This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the real situation, or other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—quarries or furnaces in the town or place, &c. &c.—The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required. Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories that use Fire-Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance. I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing, and the subject offered for insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated, the name of the present occupier; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufacturing is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy other than they are really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect. III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property. IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon. V. No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid. VI. Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before or at the time of the execution of the Policy; and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall be void, and of no effect: and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a rateable proportion of the loss or damage that may be sustained.
VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or accrue in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever. VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured. IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy. X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall produce a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or verily believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and until such affidavits and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable. Also, if there appears any fraud, or false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to compensation, or value of his policy.

FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE, Price 37 1-2 Cents. A few Copies of LETTERS, Under the signatures of SENEX and of A FARMER Comprehending an examination of the conduct of our Executive, toward France and Great-Britain, out of which the present crisis has arisen, originally published in the North American.
From the Editor's Preface. Great publick excellencies, & free governments, have always called forth great virtue and talents. Thus the passing occurrences of the day prove, that the lapse of twenty-five years has not turned our nation aside from that salutary vigilance of their rights and jealousy of their rights, without which our government could not have been established nor continued. Should we survive the fraud, prejudice and power, which have coalesced for our ruin, we shall not see it more to the timely iterations of the sage, and the heroic devotion of their trial, than to native good sense and unalterable attachment to liberty in the body of the people. We have here another proof, that the American nation is as suspicious of its intelligence, as for its civil system, and its unalterable adherence to national freedom. The late attempts upon both, have electrified the whole country. The aged, the retired, the timid, the wavering, and the deluded, have all been brought into the ranks of that phalanx, which is determined to save the country. By such exertions, it must be saved! Among the pens which have powerfully contributed to this constitutional alarm, is the able and ingenious author of the subject letters. His fascinating candour and vigorous argument, have chased away the sophistry and premeditated delusions, which the hand of power has covered its sinister purposes and danger. These explanations of our publick affairs, in a controversy which has involved the life and death of our enviable political constitution, will be long admired. The crisis which called them forth, is alone more interesting, than the dignity of the writer is venerable, and his capacity exalted. June 7.
