Boot and Shoe Manufactory.
SAMUEL COLEMAN, Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quantity of the best
Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c. that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Seal and other Leather here—good workmanship—great attention to improvements—a regular bred foreman—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnished and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions: only he expects custom. He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO; all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an allowance made for that which is not; but the greatly increased price of all the materials, and the high price of labour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here. He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots & Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibility of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see. He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gentlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of getting such as are good, as he has no run work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are cash only.
A LEASE For the eligible PROPERTY he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and an half years to run. April 15.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 1809.
Several anticipations have taken place of the Orders in Council being removed. Mr. Barings policy of insurance is well known. The ship President Adams was advertised in the Post P. Palladium, on the 19th inst. to sail for Liverpool on or before the 10th of June.
The 32d French Bulletin contains an account of the capture of Ferrol. It made a shew of resistance, but surrendered on the 27th of January. The French obtained 5000 muskets, 3 ships of 112 guns, two of 84, one of 74, two of 64, three frigates, a number of smaller vessels and 1500 pieces of cannon. Ibid.
General Romana, it appears, has quitted Bayonna, where it was feared he would be cut off by the French, and has entered Tra los Montes.
A Lisbon article of the 14th Feb. mentions that the writer was with the general on the 5th Feb. at Chaves, who informed him, that within a few days 4000 men had joined him—that he expected his army would soon be 25,000 strong—that he should advance into Galicia—that the inhabitants had taken the military chest, secretariat and baggage belonging to General Marchand's army, and killed or taken most of the escort, consisting of 140 cavalry. The French are said to be dying in great numbers of a contagious disorder. Ibid.
A letter from Liverpool per the brig Cumberland, of the 6th ult. to a merchant of this city, states, that Buonaparte had declared the port of Leghorn, and Florence, open to a FREE TRADE. From the highly respectable channel through which this news reaches us, we are not inclined to withdraw our belief of it. N. Y. Gaz.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated 3d March, 1809.
"The daily arrivals which have broke the embargo, has had a very material effect upon our market, and prices of most descriptions of American produce are much lower than they were when we had lost the pleasure to address you: twenty-six vessels of the above description are arrived in this port, and five in other parts of the kingdom; indeed so general was the belief, that the American government could not enforce the embargo laws, that up to the 28th ult. sales could with difficulty be effected with any moderate deduction from former prices. Cottons have been more materially affected than any other species of produce. On the 20th ult. affairs began to wear a more favourable appearance, and some considerable sales of Upland Georgia cottons were effected at 2s. 5 1-2d to 2s. 6d.; an advance from the prices of the 18th ult. of full 2d. per lb; since then prices have again gone down to 2s. 4d., but at present are reviving, and should nothing particular occur, will, we have no doubt, be 2s. 6d. in a very few days: the prospect for the speculative purchaser is much more certain than it was some time back; for though the state of the manufacturers are by no means encouraging, yet the manufacturers' stocks of every description are exhausted, and the daily consumption must necessarily be drawn from the ports."
"Ashes have remained much more steady than cotton, owing to the situation of the holders; indeed a very material cause of the fluctuation of the latter article, is the daily consignments which arrive from the West Indies and South America, the consignees of which do not consider themselves justified in holding, at the present comparative high prices.—Timber and staves remain excessively high; of these there is none of the growth of the United States remaining at market. Fine Quercitron bark would command an exorbitant price, none being left on hand; of the inferior qualities very little remain, and, it sells readily at the annexed quotation (36s to 42s.)"
"A very inferior parcel of flaxseed was sold by auction on Wednesday last, at 30s per 4 gallons.—Some inferior seed for crushing had sold as high as 20s per 8 gallons, but owing to the idea of a supply from the Baltic, the latter article is heavy at the present moment. Deer skins and hides of every description are without demand. Good American flour would command high prices. Wheat has remained stationary since our last respects; we, nevertheless, still retain the opinion, that prices will go higher. Carolina and Mississippi indigo are almost out of use, being too coarse for the general manufactures. Naval stores are reduced in price since our last respects, though we conceive the shutting up the ports of the Baltic so certain that it is our opinion they will improve in price. Rice is in good demand some middling samples imported by the embargo breakers, have sold from 3s to 5s per cwt."
"Colonial produce for export only is more in demand, considerable quantities have been shipped for Malta and Sicily, and no doubt the shipments for Heligoland will also be extensive. Dye woods of every description are heavy, the want of export demand, leaves this market quite clogged. There is very little Cochineal in the market, and the demand considerable."
"Tobaccos have remained very heavy, and without a possibility of sale, except at reduced prices; the cargo by the Sally since surnamed the Farguhar was sold at publick sale on the 17th ult. some prime lots fetched 2s 2d to 2s 4d per lb, and the whole cargo though very inferior, averaged upwards of 2s 1d, it was bought principally by the manufacturers."
"Very little has been done recently in embargo insurance, during the last month the continuance of the embargo to the 1st of July was turned at 25 per cent. this was however in small sums only, at 20 per cent. a few large sums were done. The proposition which are understood to be the object of the dispatches by the Pacific, we hope will be accepted by our government, we are not, however, very sanguine on the subject."

WASHINGTON, April 24. In our last paper we had the high satisfaction of communicating to the publick the official arrangements entered into by our government and that of Great Britain, by which an acceptable reparation has been made for the attack on the Chesapeake, and the British orders have been rescinded so far as they respect the United States. On these happy results, together with the consequent renewal of amicable intercourse between the two nations, we most sincerely congratulate our fellow-citizens.
On the mutual benefits that will flow from such an intercourse it is unnecessary to dilate. They have been universally felt and acknowledged by all classes of our people, and would never, for a moment, have been suspended, but for reasons irresistibly imperious. These reasons it were futile, and might, perhaps, be pernicious to dwell upon. Let us indulge the hope, that the past sources of animosity may be dried up, and that, in future, a sense of common interest, mutually realised, will serve to unite the two nations in bonds of growing strength: such bonds as are created by an interchange of commodities by which each party is benefited; not by those political alliances, which are as fatal to the happiness, as they are repugnant to the spirit of a free people.
It is, moreover, visionary to cherish the hope, that this result may dissipate the delusion, so diligently propagated, that those who administer the general government are actuated by feelings hostile towards commerce and Great-Britain? If this delusion can be dispelled, we may rationally expect, in addition to peace with the foreign world, what is infinitely more valuable, a greater degree of harmony among ourselves. When it shall be distinctly realised that these honorable arrangements have been secured by the wise measures of administration, and when the connection between those measures and the confirmation of our commercial rights shall be perceived, the absurdity of the calumny will be evident, and it will be admitted that the administration has been as sincere in its professions of regard to commerce, as it has been successful in shielding it from danger, until it could be opened to the advantage of those who pursued it. Those, who have ignorantly ascribed those motives, will, if honest, hereafter refrain from a similar act of injustice, and those who have been deceived will withhold their confidence from men who have thus flagrantly abused it. The people will be generally taught the important lesson of respecting their government, and will in this way most effectually command for it the respect of foreign nations. Universally realising that our interest consists in union, we shall be united, and, if united, we must be happy.
By these arrangements four ends are accomplished. 1. Adequate reparation for the attack on the Chesapeake. 2. An abrogation of the British orders. 3. A renewal of commercial intercourse. 4. A renewed attempt to settle all sources of difference between the two nations.
With regard to the reparation offered for the attack on the Chesapeake, it is, we believe, substantially the same with that demanded by our government, and may, therefore, be considered as entirely satisfactory.
With respect to the abrogation of the British orders, and a renewal of commercial intercourse—as the latter was offered by our government on the adoption of the former by the British government, the measure ought also to be viewed as satisfactory.
The remaining proposition, to adjust all sources of difference between the two nations by sending a minister to the United States, after the substantial measures by which it is preceded, promises a favourable issue. The preceding negotiation having been conducted at London, it evinces on the part of the British, a becoming respect for ours, to send a minister here, and to make this place the seat of negotiation.
We cannot close these remarks without observing, that the celerity with which these arrangements have been made, and the rigid secrecy which attended them, are equally honourable to both the parties, and furnish the best pledges for the satisfactory adjustment contemplated by the extraordinary mission to this country. Nat. Intel.

BALTIMORE, April 25. The brig Susan which arrived here on Saturday from Smyrna via Liverpool, cleared out from this port for Smyrna, after the existence of the embargo, to bring home property, by permission. On her return she was captured by a French frigate which put on board a number of English prisoners and permitted her to proceed on her homeward voyage. The English however rose upon the vessel and compelled their captain and crew to land them in England.
NEW-YORK, April 19. Wilful error exposed. The publick Advertiser of last evening once more served up the old cold collation of federal extravagance and republican economy, plentifully garnished with wilful errors. The following will shew in a very few words, where the truth lies.
Economy. Under the Washington and Adams administrations, the expenses of our foreign relations were a never ceasing topic of democratic harangues. The publick money we were told, was worse than thrown away upon outfits and salaries. Now mark the difference—During the twelve years of the federal administration, from 1789 to 1801, the average expenses of foreign intercourse including the maintenance of foreign ambassadors, redemption of captives at Algiers and all expenses respecting treaties, and awards under them, amounted to 237,194 dollars. The average expense for the same objects during only the four first years of Jefferson's administration from 1801 to 1805, amounted to 741,824 dollars. Nearly three times as much money in one third of the time. And yet who dare dispute democratic economy? Surely the "mouth of labour" should be "voccal with the praise" of our money saving, people loving, administration.
April 22. Just before our paper went to press last night we received the following letter from Boston dated the 19th inst.
"Some persons at Londonderry had memorialized parliament against the American government for detaining flax seed, which they had paid for and shipped in America previous to the embargo—when American property was not detained in Great Britain."
"The treaty between Great Britain and Turkey had been received in England."
"The Rochfort squadron had made a movement towards the sea, having proceeded towards the Isle of Aix. It consisted of 11 sail of the line, and frigates. Four of the frigates had got ashore. Admiral Stopford was watching them with seven sail of the line."
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE via BOSTON.
LONDON, March 7. By a vessel which brought from Heligoland the German papers from which we yesterday gave extracts, an officer arrived with dispatches for government. If we may credit the reports in circulation, these dispatches confirm, in some degree the accounts that Russia is not disposed to join in Napoleon's projected overthrow of the Austrian monarchy—If we may judge from the price of stocks, this news receives some credit in the city. A war between France and Austria is now considered as certain.
Gottenburg Mails.—Seven mails arrived this morning, brought to Harwich by the Auckland packet. By this conveyance a messenger arrived with dispatches for government, which it is believed relate to the new aspect which the relations of Russia & Austria have begun to assume since the late interview between their Prussian Majesties and the Emperor Alexander.
According to letters from Vienna of a recent date, the following is a correct return of the military forces of the Austrian army:—The regular troops amount to 390,000 men, namely, 271,800 infantry (including a reserve of 46,000 men) 40,800 horse, 14,840 artillery, and four regiments of guards.
In time of war, the army is reinforced by 25,000 militia, trained to arms in peaceful times, and by the Austrian insurrection.
To the above return, the following statistical account is added—The revenue of the empire, at present, amounts, in the whole, to 145,000,000 of florins.
By the Gottenburgh Mails, which arrived on Friday, a great number of private letters have been received. In several of those from Malino, it is stated on the authority of the last communications from St. Petersburg, that, during the residence of the king and queen of Prussia in that capital, the emperor Alexander was studiously attentive to her Prussian majesty, from whose presence he was seldom absent. Her majesty is, in fact, represented to have gained, by her fascinating manners, so complete an ascendancy over the emperor, as to induce a strong belief that she had effected a material revolution in his sentiments with respect to his political attachment to France.
Paris accounts to the 19th have been received;—they briefly state, that the French had entered Vigo, immediately after the embarkation of the British troops;—that six of the transports, having on board 1200 of our troops, had foundered at sea; that the duke of Dalmatia had marched for Oporto; that marshal Davoust, commander in chief of the army of Germany, had arrived at Paris; that the flight of the British troops from Spain, had caused the greatest consternation in Austria; that a powerful camp was to be formed on the banks of the Inn; and that gen. Oudinot's corps was repairing through Lower Suabia and Franconia, in order to take a position on the banks of the Lech.
The same accounts present Madrid dates to February 13, in which it is stated, that deputations had been presented to king Joseph, from the towns of Toledo, Salamanca, Santander, St. Idefonso, Benavente, Ledesma, Villa del Vieng de Villalor, Sahagun, and Medina del Rio Seco, Valladolid, Leon, Avila, Arevalo, and Aranjuez, manifesting a strong desire to see tranquility restored to the country, under his paternal government.
BREST FLEET.
Intelligence has been received, that the Brest fleet, consisting of 12 ships of the line, reached Basque Roads (Rochefort) where it was blockaded by admiral Stopford's small squadron.
Three French frigates from L'Orient, destined, it is presumed, to join the Brest fleet, were discovered by the British look out ships on the French coast, and driven on shore.
March 8.
Last night a mail arrived from Lisbon brought to Falmouth in thirteen days by the W. Langham packet. Two Spanish couriers with dispatches have arrived in the Walsingham.
Before the packet sailed they had heard of the reported rupture between France and Austria, and the intelligence received full credit. It was reported at Lisbon that the French had sustained another defeat before Saragossa, in which they had lost 7000 men.
The English troops still remain at Lisbon and in the neighbourhood, in all between five and six thousand men. They were under orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark at six hours notice.
The French papers contain the 32d bulletin of the French Grand Army of Spain; it is not dated, and preserves a most profound silence with respect to Saragossa, Madrid, and the South of Spain.
About 70,000 of the French troops that were expected at Lisbon, remained in Galicia, having been prevented from advancing by a total want of necessaries for their march. The country is so completely exhausted, that till they shall receive supplies from France it will be impossible for them to execute their intention to re-occupy Portugal.
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
On the 6th March, Mr. Whitbread introduced a motion to the house of commons, for an humble address to be presented to his majesty, praying that he would adopt, without delay, such measures as may best tend to the immediate re-establishment of commercial intercourse with the United States. After a full discussion of its merits, which occupied the house until 7 in the morning, a division was called for, when it appeared that there were

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIMES, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 1809.
THE EDITOR of this paper, having occasion to call on his patrons for the amount of their respective balances, hopes he will not be disappointed in receiving payment. On the fate of the applications to be made now, will depend his future course, for he neither can nor will labour without his reward. In truth it is impossible for him to maintain an establishment requiring large sums of money, without punctual payment.
Ledger Office, April 28, 1809.
A contest is maintaining in respect to the measures, which have produced the pleasing change in the relations between the United States and Great Britain. If as some insist the system of embargo has produced this change, we ask why it was relaxed in, and the non-intercourse substituted for the embargo? In respect to this non-intercourse law, if it has been productive of any advantage, accident and not design has produced it, for strange as it may appear, yet it is not less strange than true, that this law passed without having an advocate. It was not an original measure, standing alone, but grew out of the conflict of parties, as a kind of compromise. If the measures proposed and advocated by the republican party, had been carried, war would certainly have been the consequence. To us, it is of no consideration, from what quarter benefit to our country proceeds, but not thinking that the system of embargo was ever a wise one, we cannot approve it, because of a result, which has taken place.
We think it requires no great reflection to perceive the policy of Great Britain at this time, it is certainly both wise, and liberal, and she must be benefited in almost any event. The laws of the United States, having placed Great Britain, and France upon the same footing, the former has seized the occasion, of compelling France either to revoke her decrees, or to meet the resentment of the United States. If France revokes her Berlin and other decrees, Great Britain has gained her object, for her orders were issued in consequence of those decrees alone; if France does not revoke her decrees, we presume their execution will be resisted by force, for we cannot believe that the United States will permit so large a proportion of her commerce, as that with Great Britain and her dependencies, to be interdicted or interrupted, without resistance.
Quitting these speculations, we cannot withhold our entire and unqualified approbation of the wise and magnanimous conduct of our government, in meeting the advances of the British government. While nothing has been sacrificed to idle punctilio, the honour of the nation, has been carefully guarded, and a satisfactory atonement made for the affair of the Chesapeake, without which no accommodation could have been satisfactory to the feelings of the American people. May this auspicious commencement of Mr. Madison's administration, be the harbinger of measures, which if they do not extinguish the spirit of party, they may abate some of its fierceness. No free government can exist without party, which is as essential to the existence of the body politic, as bile is to the body natural.
Without intending to approve of all the remarks which are copied into our paper of this day from the National Intelligencer , we do not hesitate to say that there are parts of these remarks, which we not only approve, but have perused with pleasure. We also noticed some articles in the Monitor , which we are obliged to omit, written in the same spirit of liberality and conciliation.
We understand that the dispatches of our government, for Mr. Pinkney, arrived on Wednesday by mail, a few hours after the Rosamond had sailed. It is said that these dispatches were forwarded from Washington on the 21st, whereas those of Mr. Erskine, were forwarded on the 22nd instant; the former came via Petersburg, and the latter via Hampton. This being the case, the American dispatches must have been delayed on the way, but at what post-office we are not able to say.

LATE FROM SPAIN.
An arrival from Tarragona, (Spain) at New York, brings accounts a few days later than those by captain Beckford, arrived in Salem from Valencia. As narrated in the New York papers these accounts are greatly inauspicious to the cause of the Spanish patriots: But as we have seen a letter from a distinguished Spanish officer (and received by the New York arrival) which gives a different coloring to affairs there, we deem it our duty to state its contents: It is dated at Tarragona, the 11th February, 1809, and states, that the writer had to provide for from 40 to 50,000 troops then in Catalonia. That the French had lost upwards of 120,000 men since their entrance into Spain; that not more than 100,000 remained; and they expected by degrees to make way with these. No mention is made in this letter of the fall of Saragossa. As this letter is a private one, the writer could have no inducement whatever to misrepresent the actual state of things; and if, in the middle of February, the Spaniards had a force of 40,000 men in arms in one province, their affairs could not have been in that desperate situation, they have been represented. We confess that the tidings from the North of Spain, are of the most gloomy kind; but in all the letters and papers from the South, tho' aware of the deserters in the North, and of the inroads of their tyger like invaders, the Spanish spirit appeared to be unbroken; and their confidence in the ultimate triumph of the Spanish patriot cause unabated. May Heaven grant they may not be disappointed.
From a late Bermuda Paper.
TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOUR.
The Address of the General Assembly of Bermuda.
"MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY!"
"We his majesty's faithful and loyal subjects, the general assembly of Bermuda, beg leave to assure your excellency that we are deeply impressed with the injury as consequences which have resulted to the interests of the colony from the long interruption of the publick business; and that your excellency be confident that we feel an earnest desire for a removal of the impediments which have hitherto subsisted; with the concurrence of your excellency, in such measures as are essential to the welfare of the colony, we have no doubt that this and many beneficial objects may be attained."
"We shall most cheerfully avail ourselves of the earliest opportunity which may be afforded us of raising the necessary supplies for the support of this his majesty's government, and of liquidating the demands of publick creditors."
"We are truly sensible of the real distress and alarm in which the greater part of the community, and more particularly the poorer classes thereof, are at the present moment involved for the want of food; and this distress and alarm afflict us the more when we reflect that they might have been prevented, had your excellency not extended your favour to certain individuals by allowing them to export, contrary to your own embargo or prohibitory proclamation, a considerable quantity of provisions, while there was a prospect of an approaching famine. As no calamity can exceed that of a starvation, we certainly are desirous and ready to adopt any and every measure of relief within our power."
"The framing and passing a law for the establishment of an efficient militia is an object that will claim our early attention."
On motion of Mr. B. D. Harvey, the house came to the following resolutions, viz.
Resolved also as the opinion of this house, that any attempt of any branch of the legislature to control or coerce this house, or any member thereof in his legislative capacity into any measure whatever, is a dangerous innovation of our constitutional rights and privileges, and would, if consented to, destroy the fundamental principles of legislation, and with them the happiness of the colony.
Resolved also, as the opinion of this house, that a disposition to perpetuate so gross an evil should be viewed with horror, and is at least sufficient to remove every confidence of this house, and of the community at large, from the quarter in which such disposition is entertained.
Resolved also, as the opinion of this house, that no speaker, or any other member thereof, nor any person in consequence of his having been a speaker, or other member of the general assembly, is authorized to attend or assist at the qualification of any person whatsoever as publick treasurer, without a particular order or authority of this house.
Resolved also, as the opinion of this house, that the court of chancery of this colony committing to jail a member of this house, namely John Noble Harvey, esq. as the late speaker of the assembly, was no less an act of oppression and a gross infraction of the constitutional rights and privileges of our colonial parliament, than an indignity offered to our constituents; moreover, the imprisonment of the late speaker, was the more aggravated in consequence of his having been prejudged and his accusers being his judges.
Resolved also, as the opinion of this house, that the said infraction of our constitutional rights and privileges, tends to destroy that cordiality which this house has ever sought, consistent with propriety, to cultivate and maintain with the other branches of the legislature.
Shortly after the return of the two members which waited on his excellency the governor with the messages of the house of this day, Mr. Secretary Masterman came to the session's house and asked to the door thereof his excellency the governor's proclamation of this date, dissolving the colonial parliament.

LONDON, March 7.
Dispatches from off Rochefort.
The Doctorell arrived at Plymouth on Monday, with dispatches from Admiral Stopford off Rochefort, which were received at the admiralty this morning. They state that the French frigates which had been driven ashore under the batteries of the Sables d'Olonne, were lying high and dry ashore under the batteries, and as they heeled different ways would soon go to pieces. The dispatches also state that one of the Brest Fleet, near Isle d'Aix, had also got ashore and was on her beam ends, with all her masts cut away—She would soon, it was supposed, beat to pieces.
The dispatches were dated on Friday last, at which time the rest of the French fleet were in Basque Roads, and Admiral Stopford, with seven sail of the line at anchor about three miles off. He was expected to be reinforced on Saturday or Sunday by five sail of the line—An attempt would then, it was believed, be made to destroy the enemy, who had no so late as Friday made any attempt to lighten their ships by taking out their guns and stores, which it is understood they must do to be able to get into Rochefort.
There seems to be no doubt of hostilities being renewed between Austria and France. Ere this it is possible the first blow has been struck, for Austria would see the necessity of advancing immediately into Bavaria for the purpose of preventing the junction of the Bavarian troops with the French. She will not commit the fault she did last war, of suffering the military force of Bavaria to be thrown into the enemy's scale. It was rumoured that her advanced guard had actually passed the Inn, and the rumour is by no means improbable.
While the accounts from Hamburg yesterday left no doubt of war between Austria and France, they opened to us a more cheering prospect in the North than we had expected. There are hopes that Russia will shake off that pernicious influence which was rapidly blasting her fame and fortunes, her dearest interests and her glory, and that she will rouse herself again to vigorous and honourable action. The journey of their majesties to Petersburg is said to have produced a total change in the Russian councils, and Alexander has yielded to beauty what he refused to the dictates of wisdom. The queen of Prussia, a queen not more illustrious for her rank than for her virtue, used her influence, which is known to be great over the emperor Alexander, and when truth comes from the lips of beauty, what mortal can resist it? That she would have undertaken so long a journey at such an inclement season, with any other than a great political view, is not to be believed—that political view was, to sever the emperor from the arms of France, and to induce him to support Austria, we have little reason to doubt—that she succeeded, we hope we shall soon be able to announce.
The house of commons sat till 7 this morning, upon Mr. Whitbread's motion, for an address to his majesty, praying his majesty to adopt without delay, such measures as may best tend to the immediate re-establishment of the commercial intercourse between his majesty's dominions and the United States of America; and to bring, by temperate and conciliatory negotiation, all other points to a just and amicable conclusion. The opinions we have so often expressed relative to our conduct to America, and the conduct of America to us, we need not repeat—The conduct of the one has been as full of forbearance as the conduct of the other has been full of partiality. The breaking off all commercial intercourse between the two nations was the act, not of Great Britain, but America—Her embargo was not the effect of our orders in council as the opposition so repeatedly and positively asserted they were; an assertion in which they are contradicted by Mr. Pinkney himself, who in his letter to Mr. Canning dated on the 10th of October last, (see the further papers presented to the commons relating to America, and ordered to be printed on the 22d ult.) says, the referring to a conversation with Mr. Canning. "I believe that no copy of our orders of November, had arrived in the United States, at the date of the president's message," proposing the embargo. Mr. Pinkney even goes further, and this is of very great importance. He seems to think that France had contributed to produce the embargo. He says immediately after the passage we have quoted above, "that a recent change in the conduct of France to our prejudice did appear to be known—that intelligence has been received and a belief entertained of your intention to adopt some measure, as a retaliation against France, by which our commerce and our rights would be affected." What now becomes of the arguments on which so much stress was laid that our orders were produced in a great measure by a hostile spirit towards America! Mr. Pinkney himself tells us, that the measure we were expected to adopt was a measure whose sole object was to retaliate against France. That in its operation might injure America, was an effect which could not be prevented. The blame rested with France, whose decrees had compelled us to retaliate by our orders in council.
Mr. Stephens made one of the ablest speeches we ever heard. Mr. Whitbread's motion was negatived by a majority of 145 to 83.
March 8.
The Africaine frigate arrived at Plymouth on Monday last, from the Straits, with dispatches from Mr. Adair confirming the intelligence of a treaty of Peace having been signed between Great Britain and Turkey on the 5th January. The following letter was sent this morning to the Lord Mayor, announcing this important event:
(Copy.) FOREIGN OFFICE, 5th March.
My Lord, I have the honour to acquaint your lordship that a Treaty of Peace between his Majesty and the Sublime Porte was signed on the 5th January last. I have the honour to be, &c.
GEORGE CANNING.
Plymouth, March 3. Last night late arrived with dispatches, from the honourable Rear Admiral Stopford, the Doctorell, capt. Ably. She brings accounts that last Thursday, the three French frigates, which were driven under the batteries of the outer point of Rochefort, were on shore, and so disabled that it was thought they would not be got off, as they were distinctly seen taking out their guns and stores. The French fleet on Friday last, were observed at anchor in Basque Roads, 11 sail of the line, the Calcutta 54, and four frigates. Admiral Stopford's squadron, seven sail of the line, and five frigates, was at anchor about three miles from them, in a position to prevent them getting away. By this time Lord Gambier has joined Admiral Stopford, with 5 sail of the line and 3 frigates from Cawsand Bay, and it is generally supposed some attempt will be made to destroy them at anchor. Went down the harbour, the Resolution 74, capt. Boulton; she will sail to-morrow.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York. Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall-Street. PROPOSALS For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
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 publick.
No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer 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. 93 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 Cargo, 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 local 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—no engines or firemen 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.  Snap 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 occupiers; 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 otherwise than they 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 cease, and be 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 which may be sustained.  VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place 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 procure 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 very likely 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 appear any fraud, or false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitution or payment, by virtue of his policy.  XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever.  XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Surveyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required. Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk. Feb 13. if

DR. ROBERTSON'S Celebrated Stomachick Elixir of Health. Which has proved by experience, to be the most valuable medicine, ever yet offered to the publick for curing the Gout, Cramp, and wind in the Stomach: also a certain cure for the Dysentery, or Bloody Flux, Cholera Morbus, Severe Gripings, and all other diseases of the bowels, a dose never fails to remove a cold if taken soon after its first appearance. It is also celebrated for carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the Stomach, severe headache, &c. &c.
The following certificates are selected from the many respectable ones lately received by the proprietor, and are now in his possession.  Certificate of Mr. William Julion, carpenter and builder, No. 69, South Fifth-Street, Philadelphia. SIR—My wishes to promote the interest of superior merit, and to afford consolation to the afflicted, induces me to request you will lay my case before the publick, as an incontrovertible proof of the astonishing efficacy of Dr. Robertson's invaluable Stomachick Elixir of Health. I do hereby certify, that I was seized most violently with the dysentery, or bloody flux, which reduced me so much that I was confined to my bed, and became so weak that I could not move without assistance. My situation at that time became seriously alarming, as no relief could be obtained, I was given over, and even death would have been desirable to me, had not a friend of mine, who by chance called to see me, who had just recovered from a similar complaint, though not so severe as mine. He informed me that he was cured by taking Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and advised me to send to you for a bottle. I immediately did so, and by following your instructions given with the bottle, before I had taken half a bottle, I found myself much relieved, and my disorder greatly abated, and by continuing to take it, in one week I was able to walk out, and in less than a fortnight was able to attend to my business. I therefore recommend every family to be provided with this invaluable medicine, particularly those who live at a distance from the country, where assistance cannot be immediately obtained. As I am convinced that Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, is the most effectual remedy in the world, I have since recommended it to several of my friends in similar complaints, who have always been relieved immediately after taking it. Should any person with to be more fully convinced of my case, I will with pleasure explain it to them by applying to me. I am with a due sense of the benefit I have received thro' the efficacy of your medicine, Sir, your humble servant, WM. JULION. Mr. Drott, Philadelphia, July 15th, 1807.
Certificate of Mr. George Stokes, South Water Street, Philadelphia. SIR—For the benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you that Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, has been to me, of the most essential service. I had been a long time afflicted with a pain in my Stomach, and continual headache, attended with a sickness at the stomach, which brought on a vomiting and lax, which continued on me until I became in a very weak state, without being able to get any relief, until I tried one bottle of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which entirely cured my disorder, except a weakness and want of appetite, for which I have since taken Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Wine Bitters, which quite restored my strength and appetite, and I now enjoy better health than I experienced for many months before: As I consider your medicines to have been the means of saving my life, I solicit you to publish my case for the benefit of others, who by abiding by the directions given with your invaluable medicines, will embrace the same means by which I have happily effected my recovery. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE STOKES. Mr. Drott, Philadelphia, August 1, 1807.
ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. Of Mr. John T. Solomon, Sixth near Race-Street, Philadelphia. SIR—For the good of the publick and benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you, that having laboured for upwards of six months, under a very bad cough, attended with a difficulty of breathing, pains in my breast and side, and a sickness at my stomach; having lost all appetite, I became so very much reduced in my strength as to be unable to walk. I was considered in a consumption, and given up for a lost man. In this hopeless situation I had recourse to Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and to my great astonishment, before I had taken one bottle, found myself very much relieved. I expected a great quantity of phlegm, which has eased me of one of the most violent coughs that ever man had; I have taken it regularly ever since, and now find myself completely recovered, and shall certainly, for the benefit received, recommend it as far as I can, believing it to be a most effectual medicine in the above complaint. I am, Sir, with great respect, Your obliged humble servant, JOHN T. SOLOMON. Mr. T. W. Drott, August 22.
Certificate of Mr. John Lee, Philadelphia. DEAR SIR—By the administration of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, and that the publick may be acquainted with the good effect I have received from it, I wish you to publish the following: About a fortnight ago I was seized with the influenza, or a violent cold attended with a pain in my limbs, and a violent cough, which eluded on my lungs, and having been for some time before in a weakly state, I expected a consumption must soon have followed, had I not been advised to try Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which has effectually removed my complaint, and I now feel better health than I have for some time before. It is impossible to say too much in favour of this invaluable medicine, as I am clearly convinced it is the most effectual remedy ever offered to the publick, in the above complaint. I am, Sir, your obliged servant, JOHN LEE. Mr. Drott, November 11.  The above Medicine is sold wholesale and retail by the proprietor, T. W. DROTT, No. 11, North Second-Street, Philadelphia; and by appointment at BONSAL & CONRAD'S Book Store, Norfolk; and at SOMIRVELL & CONRAD'S, Petersburg. May 29. lawly
