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 Soles and other Leather here—good workmanship—great attention—no disappointments—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 stock 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 and 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.

LATEST FROM LISBON.
Bosrow, June 29. By the arrival yesterday, of the brig Favouite, 37 days from Lisbon, we have been favoured with papers of that city to the 16th May. They speak favourably of the state of the combined English and Portuguese troops—that they had been greatly increased and disciplined so as to afford the strongest assurance of safety to the inhabitants—that business had revived; and the publick houses again opened for the amusement and accommodation of the people—that the Theatre was opened on the 14th May, for the first time since the departure of the prince Regent. Of the military operations of the armies, and other information, the following sketch from the latest date, will furnish examples:
"Lisbon, May 16, 1809." "Authentic letters from Lagos, of the date of the 9th current (May) affirm that the Portuguese have rendered themselves masters of the passage of Regua, and of other strong positions on the opposite side of the Douero, and that our troops in consequence have a free passage to the other side of the river. The French have not yet given us battle."
"By a vessel, which sailed from Oporto for the Brazils, and which has been obliged to enter the Tagus, we are assured, that the French have retired from Amarante, to take a position on the Douero. In a few days, we expect to give the details of an action, which cannot fail to take place."
"The captain of the same ship reports, that the province of Galicia had recovered its liberty; that the French are shut up in the fort of Corunna, and that the troops of Romana surround them, and that there is no doubt that they will be obliged to surrender in a few days."
Copy of a dispatch from general Beresford, to his excellency Pereira Forja.
"I have the honour to communicate to your excellency, that on the 9th of May, I had caused a detachment in advance to take a favourable position between Amarante and Mezao Frio, which are occupied by the French, having met with no other enemy than a small detachment, who fled.—I had an opportunity of placing four pieces of cannon in an excellent position."
"I ordered a constant fire upon the division of the enemy, who at the end of two hours beat a retreat in great disorder. Major Harding, whom I had sent to observe the effect of this, reports to have seen the French carry off five wagons of wounded. Their force consisted of 2500 infantry and 500 cavalry commanded by general Louison. I have ordered a reinforcement, commanded by the general Francisco de Silveira, to keep this position, and to cut off the communication between Amarante and Mezao Frio. The conduct of the enemy was horrible, having burnt all the villages and huts in his retreat."
(Signed) BERESFORD. Head-quarters at Lumago, 11th May.
Copy of a letter, dated the 11th of May, at the advanced posts.
"I have the honour of informing your excellency that the French have abandoned Mezao Frio. I shall do my utmost to maintain the good position I have taken. By the advices I have received, I can say that the French have lost thirty cavalry and eighty infantry, and that they have a great number wounded, and have abandoned one ammunition wagon and a great quantity of wagons loaded with provisions."
(Signed) FRANCISCO DE SILVEIRA. Copy of a letter from his excellency M. Villiers, minister of his Britannick majesty, to his excellency Pereira Forja, May 11th.
"I have this instant received the news that the troops commanded by Sir Arthur Wellesley have completely beaten the French to the number of 4000. The 16th Portuguese regiment distinguished themselves. We have obliged the enemy to abandon their positions."
The following article is received in a letter from Lisbon, dated on the 17th May; "There have been great rejoicings here to day, on account as I understand by the guards, of the French being defeated at or near Oporto."
In confirmation of the above intelligence, captain Stacy verbally reports, that the day previous to his departure, (16th May), official accounts was received of the retaking of Oporto by the English and Portuguese troops—that the French had retreated some miles from the city; but their communication with Spain being completely cut off, and being surrounded by a superior force, news was momentarily expected of their unconditional surrender, and that great rejoicings and illuminations had taken place in consequence of this agreeable intelligence; capt. Stacy also reports that the army were in high spirits; and that the greatest good will and unanimity existed between the English and Portuguese armies.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon dated May 17. "We have just received the glorious news, that Oporto, is re-taken by the English; the retreat of the French is cut off, and their surrender as prisoners of war, inevitable."
A vessel had just arrived at Lisbon from England, bringing the agreeable intelligence of a final adjustment of our differences with England. Capt. Stacy did not understand that they had been officially received.
The Prince of Lichtenstein , who is stated to have been killed in Bavaria, at the late battle of Rohr, had just published, (prior to entering on the fatal campaign) by permission of the government, a new and comprehensive edition of the statistical tables of the Austrian empire. According to those tables the population amounts to 23,963,000 persons; the regular army comprises 390,000 men of whom 271,800 are infantry, 30,800 cavalry, 14,840 artillery; the rest consist of guards, invalid corps, &c. There is besides an army of reserve of 49,530 men, independent of the Hungarian conscription. The empire comprises 11,328 square miles, 790 towns, 2046 villages, 65,460 villages and hamlets, and 3,373,610 dwelling houses. The revenue is now 146,000,000 florins, 28 of which are for the support of the court, and 18 millions for that of the army. Vienna contains 6935 houses, and a population, exclusive of strangers, of 228,608 persons.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
The brig Fair American, arrived here on Saturday evening, in 54 days from Dunkirk, having on board Mr. Purvis with dispatches from general Armstrong, our minister at Paris.
Mr. Purvis has kindly loaned to the editors of the Freeman's Journal, files of the Journal du Sud, the Journal du Commerce, the Gazette Nationale, the Gazette de France, and the Journal de L'Empire, to the 5th of May inclusive, from which we have made as copious translations as our time and limits would admit.
The American property in France, is in the same situation as heretofore, and no vessel can clear out from France, without giving bonds to an enormous amount not to violate Buonaparte's Milan and Berlin decrees. The French minister, it is said, as in favour, as far as he dare be, of a relaxation of the decrees, but Buonaparte would not hear it mentioned.
France is represented as being in a most deplorable state of oppression, nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand detecting the present government. The commercial cities of France, once so opulent, are ruined, and exhibit a wretched population of beggars, who are literally dropping dead in the streets for want of subsistence.
Talleyrand is dismissed from office, and is in disgrace.
M. Dashkoff, the Russian charge d'affairs to reside in the United States, with his family and suit, accompanied by the Fair American.
On Saturday evening, arrived the brig Fair American, capt. Bruce, from Dunkirk. This vessel was taken up by Mr. Armstrong, our minister, on permission granted him, by Buonaparte, to bring dispatches to this country, with liberty to bring off a large number of captains and other persons belonging to England and America who had been detained for some time in France. She sailed from Dunkirk on the 8th of May, and the same day landed 30 or 40 passengers (chiefly women) at Dover.
By the passengers, we learn that this vessel was taken up, and the dispatches made out previous to the arrival of the Mentor, from the United States—the Mentor had arrived but a few days before they sailed, and would not sail for the United States before the middle, or latter end of June, as all communication with Buonaparte who was in Germany, would be tedious, as he could not receive a courier in less than 6 days from Paris. They also say, that considerable application was made to him before his departure from Paris, respecting American affairs, but in vain, as he seemed determined to get what he could and keep what he got, and it is supposed his victories in Germany will not make him in a better humour with America.
That the non-intercourse with America, is so severely felt in France, that the want of commercial business is injuring their towns, and begging their inhabitants; that coffee was selling for a dollar per lb. and white sugar for the same; and the produce of France was in so little demand, that brandy could be purchased for 20 or 30 dollars per pipe, and wines in proportion.
Russia, Holland, Denmark and Sweden it was said, being in a great measure or altogether under the control of Buonaparte, would be called on and no doubt would put in force the French decrees, and seize all goods arriving among them, that may be even suspected of being the produce of England or its dependencies, therefore it will be madness to send vessels to any of those ports, until something is settled with Buonaparte, as they consider all West India goods in that light.
It was reported in France, that the Austrians were making considerable advances in Italy, having gained advantages on the French in the several actions they had with them in that quarter. Among the passengers landed in England were several American captains, whose names we hope to obtain for our next. Among those landed here, are capt. Bangs, of James Adams of this port, condemned in July last, for touching at an English port; capt. Snow of the Syren of Boston; captain Sheppard of the Hopewell, taken on his passage from London to New-York; capt. Bowes, of the ship Betsey of New-York, from Malaga to London with wine; all of whose vessels are condemned; also capt. Snow of —, whose vessel was not condemned.
The brig Speculator, Little, of Wiswasset, from Amsterdam for Savannah, and the ship New Guide, Craig, of New-Orleans from Alicante for London, neither of which were condemned, lay at Calais and the ship Sally Ann, Nichols of Newburyport lay uncondemned, at Amsterdam, though her cargo was sold and put into the treasury.
One of the gentlemen handed us the following list of vessels waiting their fate at Charente—Holland Trader; Amsterdam Packet, and Wareham, of New-York; Two Brothers, of Newbedford; Neptune & Eleanor, of Portland; Lexington, of Baltimore; Minerva, of Rochester, brig Plymouth and William of Newburyport.
The French have confined a number of American Captains in the jail at Dunkirk, all of whom had been liberated or made their escape, except captain Tucker, of the William of Newberry, and a captain Jenkins, who were fined 1500 dollars each besides the loss of their vessels and cargoes and their crews were marched to Arras, where a great number of American seamen are confined. True Amer.
Translated for the Freeman's Journal. FIRST BULLETIN.
Head Quarters, Ratisbon, April 24. The Austrian army passed the Inn the 9th April. On that quarter no hostilities have begun, against France, her allies, and the confederation of the Rhine.
The following is the position of the French forces and their allies.
The corps of the duke of Auerstadt at Ratisbon. The corps of the duke of Rivoli at Ulm. The corps of gen Oudinot at Augsburg. The headquarters are at Strasburgh. The three Bavarian divisions under the command of the duke of Dantzic, are divided in the following manner: The first, commanded by the prince royal, at Munich. The second, commanded by general Deroy at Landshut. The third, commanded by general de Wrede, at Straubing. The Württemberg division at Heydenheim. The Saxon troops encamped under the walls of Dresden. The corps of the duchy of Warsaw, commanded by prince Poniatowski, at Warsaw.
On the 10th, the Austrian troops invested Passau, where a battalion of Batavians shut themselves up. They invested at the same time Kuffein, where likewise a Batavian battalion shut themselves up. This movement took place without the firing of a gun.
The court of Bavaria quitted Munich to go to Dillengen. The Batavian division which was at Landshut went to Altdorf, by the left bank of the Iser. The division commanded by general de Wrede went to Neustadt.
The Duke of Rivoli departed from Ulm, and went to Augsburg.
From the 10th to the 16th the army of the enemy advanced from the Inn towards the Iser. Parties of cavalry met, and had several skirmishes, in which the Bavarians had the advantage. On the 16th at Pfaffenhoften, the 2d and 3d regiments of Bavarian light horse overthrew the hussars of Stupschitz, and the dragons of Rosenberg. At the same time the enemy presented themselves in considerable force to fall upon Landshut. The bridge was broken, and the Bavarian division commanded by general Deroy opposed a strong resistance to this movement. But being menaced by columns which had passed the Iser to Mörching, and to Freysing, this division retired in good order towards that of general Wrede. All the Bavarian army concentrated itself near Neustadt.
The Emperor's departure from Paris, April 13. The emperor was informed by means of the Telegraph on the 12th, of the Austrian army having passed the Inn, and immediately left Paris the same moment. He arrived on the 16th at Louisbourg, at 3 o'clock in the morning, and in the afternoon of the same day at Dillengen, where he saw the king of Bavaria, passed half an hour with this prince, promised to bring him back to his capital in fifteen days, and to avenge the affront done his house, and to make him greater than any of his ancestors had ever been. On the 17th, at 2 in the morning, his majesty arrived at Donauwerth, where the head quarters were established, and gave immediately the necessary orders.
The 18th, the head quarters were removed to Ingolstadt.
BATTLE OF PFAFFENHOFEN.
April 19.
On the 19th, general Oudinot departed from Augsburg, arrived at the break of day at Pfaffenhoften, met from 3 to 4000 Austrians, attacked and dispersed them, and made 500 prisoners.
The duke of Rivoli with his corps d'armes arrived the next day at Pfaffenhoften.
The same day the duke of Auerstadt left Ratisbon to fall upon Neustadt, and to approach nearer to Ingolstadt. It then appeared evident, that the project of the emperor was to manoeuvre the enemy who had decamped from Landshut, to attack them at the moment they thought themselves secure, and to march towards Ratisbon.
BATTLE OF TANN.
April 19.
On the 19th, at day break, the duke of Auerstadt marched in two columns: the divisions of Morand and Gudin composing the right. The division St. Hilaire arrived at the village of Peising, and met the enemy, superior in number, but inferior in valour.
From that moment, the campaign was opened by a combat glorious to our arms. General St. Hilaire, supported by general Friant, overthrew all that was before him, forced the positions of the enemy, killed a great number, and made from 6 to 700 prisoners. The 72d distinguished itself on this day, and the 57th maintained its ancient reputation. Sixteen years since, this regiment was called in Italy The Terrible , and it has well justified its name in this affair, as by itself it successively attacked and overthrew six Austrian regiments.
On the left, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, general Norand met likewise an Austrian division, which he attacked in the van, while the duke of Dantzic, with a Bavarian corps which came from Abensberg, attacked them in the rear. This division was soon routed from all its positions, and left some hundreds dead and prisoners. The old regiment of dragons was destroyed by the Bavarian light horse, and its colonel killed.
At the close of the day, the corps of the duke of Dantzic formed a junction with that of the duke of Auerstadt.
In all these affairs, the generals St. Hilaire and Friant have particularly distinguished themselves.
These unhappy Austrian troops who had been brought from Vienna, with the noise of songs and fife, were made to believe that there was no longer any French army in Germany, and that they had only to do with the Bavarians and Württembergers. They shewed all their resentment against their chiefs for the errors into which they had led them, and their terror was very great at the sight of those ancient bands whom they had been accustomed to consider as their masters.
In all these battles our loss has been inconsiderable in comparison to that of the enemy, who lost many officers and generals, who were compelled to put themselves in the van to encourage their troops. The prince of Lichtenstein, the general Luisignan, and several other officers were wounded. The loss of the Austrians in colonels and officers of inferior grade is very considerable.
BATTLE OF ABENSBERG.
April 20.
The emperor resolved to fight and destroy the corps of the arch-duke Lewis, and that of general Hiller, together 60,000 strong. The 20th, his majesty went to Abensberg. He gave orders to the duke of Auerstadt to hold in check the corps of Hohenzollern, of Rosenberg, and of Lichtenstein, whilst with the two divisions of Morand and Gudin, the Bavarians and Württembergers, he would attack the front of the army of the arch-duke Lewis and of general Hiller: and that by means of the duke of Rivoli he would cut off the enemy's communications, by causing him to go to Freysing, and from there by the rear-guard of the Austrian army. The divisions of Morand and Gudin, formed the left and moved under the orders of the duke of Montebello. The emperor decided to fight at the head of the Bavarians and Württembergers. He caused to be united in a circle the officers of the two armies, and spoke to them for a long time. The prince royal of Bavaria translated into German that which he spoke in French. The emperor made known to them the confidence which he placed in them; he told the Bavarian officers that the Austrians had always been their enemies, and that it was their independence which they aimed at. That for two centuries past, the Bavarian colours had been displayed against the house of Austria. But that now he would render them so powerful, that he would make them henceforward irresistible.
He spoke to the Württembergers of the victories they had gained over the house of Austria, whilst they served in the Prussian armies; and of the late advantages they had obtained in the campaign of Silesia. He told them that the moment of vanquishing was come, to carry the war into the Austrian territory. This discourse was repeated to the companies by their captains, and the different arguments which the emperor had made, produced the desired effect.
The emperor then gave the signal for combat, and apportioned his manoeuvres according to the particular character of his troops. General Deroy, an officer of great merit, placed before the corps of Siegenburg, attacked an Austrian division which was opposed to him. General Vandamme, who commanded the Württembergers, fell upon them on their right flank. The duke of Dantzic, with the division of the prince royal and that of general Deroy, marched towards the village of Rauhausen, to arrive upon the high road of Abensberg to Landshut. The duke of Montebello, with his two French divisions, forced the left extremity, overthrew all that was before him, and came to Rolir and Roshemberg. In every quarter the cannon was engaged with success. The enemy disconcerted by these arrangements, only fought an hour when they beat a retreat. Eight pair of colours, twelve pieces of cannon, and 1800 men, were the result of this affair, which has cost us but few men.
COMBAT OF THE CAPTURE OF LANDSHUT.
April 21.
The battle of Abensberg, having uncovered the flank of the Austrian army, and the magazines of the enemy; on the 21st, the emperor at the dawn of day marched towards Landshut. The duke of Itria overturned the cavalry in the plain, and before the city. The general of division, Mouton, ordered the grenadiers of the 17th, forming the head of the column, to march over the bridge with fixed bayonets. This bridge which is of wood, was burnt, but was not an obstacle to our infantry, who passed it and penetrated into the city. The enemy, driven from their position, was attacked by the duke of Rivoli, who came from the right-side. Landshut fell into our hands, and with Landshut we took 30 pieces of cannon, 9000 prisoners, 3000 baggage wagons, and three superb sets of pontoon bridges, together with the hospitals and the magazines, which the Austrian army had begun to form. The couriers, aid-de-camps of the commander in chief, the arch-duke Charles, and corps of sick people coming to Landshut, were very much astonished to find the enemy there had the same fate.
BATTLE OF ECKMUHL.
April 22.
Whilst the battle of Abensberg and the battle of Landshut had such important results, the arch-duke Charles united with a corps of Bohemians commanded by general Kollorath, and obtained at Ratis-
bon a trifling success. A thousand men of the 65th, which had been left there to guard the bridge of Ratisbon, had received no orders to retreat. Being closed in by the Austrian army, these brave fellows having exhausted their cartridges, were compelled to surrender. This accident was very much felt by the emperor, who swore that in 24 hours the Austrian blood should flow in Ratisbon to revenge the affront done to his armies.
In the mean time the dukes of Auerstadt and Dantzic held at bay the troops of Rosenberg, Hohenzollern and Lichtenstein. There was no time to be lost. On the 22d in the morning, the emperor began his march from Landshut with two divisions of Rivoli, the duke of Montebello, the corps of the duke of Rivoli, the two divisions of cuirassiers of Nansouty and St. Sulpice, and the Württemberg divisions. At 8 P. M. he arrived before Eckmuhl, where the four corps of the Austrian army, forming 110,000 men, were posted under the command of the arch-duke Charles. The duke of Montebello dislodged the enemy on the left, in conjunction with the division of Gudin. At the first signal the dukes of Auerstadt and Dantzic, and the division of light-horse of general Montbrun, met together.
Then was to be seen the most superb spectacle which war can offer—110,000 of the enemy attacked on every point, overturned on their left, and successively driven from their posts in every position. The detail of military events would be too long; it is sufficient to say they were put to the route. The enemy has lost the greater part of their cannon, and a great number of prisoners. The 10th regiment of light-infantry of the division of St. Hilaire covered itself with glory in attacking the enemy. And the Austrians being driven from the wood which covers Ratisbon, were driven into the plains, and cut to pieces by the cavalry. The senator general of division, Demont, had a horse killed under him. The Austrian cavalry, strong and numerous, presented itself to protect the retreat of its infantry. The division of St. Sulpice on the right, and the division of Nansouty on the left, attacked them. The line of hussars and cuirassiers of the enemy were put to flight. More than 300 Austrian cuirassiers continued their march to Ratisbon. The division of Nansouty met a column of the enemy which fled, charged it, and made it prisoner. It was composed of three Hungarian battalions of 1500 men.
The division of St. Sulpice charged another detachment, in which the archduke Charles narrowly escaped being taken. He owed his safety only to the swiftness of his horse. In this battle of Eckmuhl there was but one half of the French troops engaged. The enemy's army continued to defy all night by degrees, taking the most frightful roads. All their wounded, the greatest part of their artillery, 15 pair of colours, and 20,000 prisoners, have fallen into our hands. The cuirassiers have according to custom, covered themselves with glory.
COMBAT AND TAKING OF RATISBON.
April 23.
At the dawn of day, we advanced to Ratisbon, the advanced guard formed by the division of Gudin, and the cuirassiers of the divisions of Nansouty and St. Sulpice. We were not long before we saw the enemy's cavalry, which endeavoured to cover the city. Three different attacks were made, and all were to our advantage. Sword in hand we put to flight 8000 of the enemy's cavalry, who precipitately passed the Danube. In the mean time our sharpshooters went towards the city. By an inconceivable arrangement, the Austrian general had placed six regiments to be sacrificed without reason. The city is surrounded by a bad ditch and a worse counterscarp. The artillery arrived. We began to batter with pieces of 12. We soon knew that by means of a ladder we could descend the ditch and afterwards mount a breach we had made in the wall.
The duke of Montebello caused a battalion to enter this breach, which gained a postern, and from thence the city. All that resisted were put to the sword. The number of prisoners exceeded 8000. In consequence of their bad arrangements, the enemy had not time to cut down their bridge, and the French passed it mixed with the Austrians to the left side. This unfortunate city, which they had the bararity to defend, has suffered greatly. It was on five part of the night, but by the assiduity of general Morand and his division, it was extinguished.
Thus at the battle of Abensberg the emperor beat separately the two corps of the archduke Lewis and general Hiller. At the battle of Landshut, he took possession of the centre of the communication of the enemy, and of the general deposit of their magazines and artillery. Finally, at the battle of Eckmuhl, the four corps of Hohenzollern, Rosenberg, Kollorath, and Lichtenstein, were defeated and put to the route. The corps of gen. Bellegarde arrived the morning after the battle: he could only be a witness to the taking of Ratisbon, when he fled to Bohemia.
The first information of the military operations which have opened the campaign in so brilliant a manner, will be followed in detail of all the deeds in arms which have rendered illustrious the French and allied armies.
In all our combats our loss has not exceeded 1200 killed and 4000 wounded. The general of division, Cervoni, the chief of the etat major of the Duke of Montebello, was struck by a cannon ball and fell dead upon the field of battle of Eckmuhl. He was an officer of merit, and had distinguished himself in our first campaigns. At the combat of Peising, general Hervé, chief of the etat major of the Duke of Auerstadt, was likewise killed. The Duke of Auerstadt regrets very much this officer, whose valour, intelligence and activity he esteemed. The general of brigade, Clement, commandant of a brigade of cuirassiers of the division of St. Sulpice, had his arm shot off. He is an officer of courage and distinguished merit. Gen. Schram has been wounded. The colonel of the 14th Chasseurs has been killed in an attack. In general, our loss of officers has been inconsiderable. The 1000 men of the 65th, which had been made prisoners, have been for the most part retaken. It is impossible to shew more valour and good will, than is shewn by our troops.
At the battle of Eckmuhl, the corps of the duke of Rivoli, not having been able to join, this marshal remained constantly near the emperor, and carried the orders for the execution of different manoeuvres. At the assault of Ratisbon the duke of Montebello, who had designed the place of passage, caused the ladders to be carried by his aid-de-camps.
The prince of Neufchâtel, in order to encourage the troops, and to give at the same time a proof of confidence to the allies, marched several times in the van guard with the Bavarian regiments.
The Duke of Auerstadt has given in these different affairs, new proofs of the intrepidity which characterize him.
The Duke de Rivoli, with as much earnestness as intrepidity, traversed the enemy's legions frequently in order to make known to the different columns the intentions of the emperor.
Of 220,000 men which composed the Austrian army, all were engaged except the 20,000 under general Bellegarde. In the French army, on the contrary, nearly one half did not fire a musket. The enemy astonished at the rapid movements beyond calculation, have found themselves deprived of their foolish hope, and are transported from a delirium of presumption into approaching despair.

FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE, Price 57 1-2 Cents,  A few Copies of LETTERS, Under the signatures of SESEX and of a FARMER, Comprehending an examination of the conduct of our Ex- ecutive, towards 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 exigencies, in free governments, have al- ways called forth great virtue and talents. Thus the pressing occurrences of the day prove, that the lapse of twenty-five years has not turned our nation aside from that salutary vig- ilance of their rulers and jealousy of their rights, without which our government could not have been established or continued. Should we survive the fault, prejudice and power, which have conspired for our ruin, we shall, not owe it more to the timely illustrations of the sage, and the heroic devotion of the patriot, than to native good sense and unalterable at- tachment to liberty in the body of the people. We have here another proof, that the American nation is as conspi- cuous for its intelligence, as for its civility and its un- alterable 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 exert- ions, it must be saved. Among the pens which have powerfully contributed to this counteractant stream, is the able and ingenious author of the subjoined letters. His fascinating candour and vigorous arguments, have erased away the sophistry and premeditated designs, which the hand of power has covered its sinister purposes and our danger. These explanations of our publick affairs, in a conjecture which has involved the life and death of our avowed political constitution, will be long ad- mired. The crisis which called them forth, is alone more interesting, than the dignity of the writer is venerable, and his capacity exalted. June 7.
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 in- corporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the li- berty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole pur- pose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal pro- perty 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 sa- tisfaction 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 libera- lity, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patron- age 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 pro- perty 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 me- tal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not ex- ceeding 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 ex- ceeding 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 exceed- ing 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 in- crease of premium in all cases where the local situation, and 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 pre- miums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden build- ings 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 build- ing exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.  Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bak- ers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpen- tine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Car- penters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machi- nery, 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 of- fice of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for Insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the dis- trict of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and re- port thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just descrip- tion thereof, viz. of what materials such building is construct- ed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how other- wise; where situated; the name of the present occupiers; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the in- surance 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 per- sons 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 de- clared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cov- er 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 proper- ty, 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 pay- ment of a ratable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained. VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may hap- pen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil com- motion, 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 their particular account of their loss or damage, signed with their 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 circumstan- ces 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, if such affixions and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable:—Also, if there appears any fraud, of
falsely swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitu- tion 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 allow- ance 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 Sur- veyor 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.

Two Valuable FARMS for Sale. I offer the following Valuable Property for Sale, viz. my Farm in Harvey's Neck, and a Tract of Land lying on the N. E. side of Perquimans River, containing 106 acres (directly opposite the Farm), one other Tract con- taining 200 acres, lying on the S. W. side of said river, about four miles above the Farm, both these tracts are well tim- bered. I will also sell the FARM on which I live, and my wharf and Lots in Edenton, with the improvements. The Farm in Harvey's Neck contains 220 acres, 200 of which are clear- ed and in a high state of cultivation; in point of fertility of soil, it is not surpassed by any in this part of the state, the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of Wheat and Indian Corn, Wheat in particular, the White Clover grows (almost spontaneously) in the greatest abundance. I have made on this farm in one season from 50,000 bushels, 320 barrels of Corn; this place is situated on the S. W. bank of Perquimans River, near the mouth of it, a delightful prospect, in an agreeable neighbourhood; on it is a convenient Dwelling-House, with every necessary out-house. The two Tracts on the same ri- ver is considered as appendages to this Farm, for the purpose of supplying it with rail timber, &c.—There is an excellent well of water, and the situation is considered to be as healthy as any in that part of the country; with the farm may be had from 15 to 20 good orderly Negroes, 100 head of sheep, 150 head of hogs, 40 or 50 head of cattle, horses, oxen, and all the farming utensils, &c. The Farm on which I live, contains 560 acres, 200 of which are cleared and under good fence and in prime order, the rest is covered with good timber; the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of wheat and corn, and with very little labour from 30 to 40 acres might be cultivated in Rice to great advantage; it is supposed (and I have no doubt of it) that this place would admit of having one of the best Herring and Shad Fisheries in this state, and could be carried on very extensively at a small expence; the situation is excelled by none, it lies on the bank of Albemarle Sound, being the N. E. point of the bay of Edenton, 4 miles by water and 5 by land from the town; it is an elevated situation and very healthy; there is on the Farm a convenient Dwelling- House and every necessary out-house, a most excellent well of water, a number of choice fruit trees, and a large garden newly inclosed, which affords the greatest abundance of ve- getables of every kind necessary for a gentleman who wishes to retire with his family on a country seat. With the Farm may be had from 10 to 20 valuable negroes, 75 to 100 head of sheep, 50 head of cattle, 100 to 200 head of hogs, horses, oxen, and every necessary implement of husbandry. The Wharf and Lots in Edenton is one of the best situa- tions in town for shipping business and a retail store; a large new Ware-House three stories high, stands on the head of the wharf, and several other houses. The property will be shewn, and the terms (which will be very moderate) will be known by applying to me.  JOHN SKINNER. Moseley's Point, June 4, 1809. 141°c
