PROTEST.
The following is the protest of Lord Sheffield, on the passing what is generally termed the American Intercourse Bill.
HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 14, 1806.
A bill entitled an act for enabling His Majesty in Council, to permit the importation and exportation into and from His Majesty's Territories in the West-Indies, and Continent of South America, of certain goods and commodities, in Neutral ships in time of War.
1st. DISSENT. Because no proof whatever has been adduced, to shew either the expediency or necessity of a measure, which facilitates and systematically establishes the suspension of our navigation and colonial laws; and thereby sacrifices to foreigners, the supply trade of the British West-India settlements to which the United Kingdom and its dependencies are rightfully entitled in return for the monopoly they afford at their own market, to the produce of those settlements.
2dly. Because the bill will transfer responsibility from the West-India Governors to his Majesty's Ministers at home: that is, it will take responsibility from those, who alone can be judges of the necessity, and will give it to his Majesty's Ministers at a great distance, who cannot possibly have any information in due time, to enable them to act on emergency; therefore the power of suspending the laws, must be ultimately delegated to the persons from whom the responsibility will be removed, to persons who actually derive great emolument from the frequency of the abuse.
3dly. Because it will ultimately render our West-India settlements dependent on the American States.
4thly. Because the British colonies in North America will be ruined, or greatly prejudiced, in consequence of the admission of foreign American shipping, into the supply trade of the British West-Indies.
5thly. Because Ireland in particular, will be dependent on the discretion and caprice of Ministers or Governors, for the provision trade to the West-Indies.
6th. Because, since the relaxation and suspension of the navigation laws, our carrying trade and commerce is transferred to foreigners, the value of British shipping greatly depreciated, and the quantity of foreign shipping employed in the British trade has increased within a late period, in the proportion of 12 to 1 over British shipping, and thereby ship-building is so alarmingly discouraged in this kingdom, that only two ships for the merchants service have been built in the river Thames since December 1802, a period of nearly 3 1-2 years, and only two more are building there: and ship-building in general in the several ports of England, has decreased nearly in the same proportion.
7thly. Because, if the United Kingdom and its dependencies cannot at all times furnish the necessary articles to the British West-Indies (the contrary of which, however, may be proved) the intercourse with the American States for supplies, may and can be most surely and steadily carried on, as heretofore, in British shipping, navigated according to law, of which there is and has been a large number unemployed since neutral vessels have been permitted to enter the ports of the British West-India settlements.
8thly. Because, if the ships of the American States are permitted to enter the ports of the British West-Indies, they will at the same time introduce, as they do at present, all East India and European goods, to the detriment of the British East India company, and to the shipping the manufactures, and commerce of the United Kingdom and its dependencies.
9thly. Because the petitioners against this bill, who prayed that they might be allowed to state how they shall be aggrieved thereby, have been refused to be heard, notwithstanding the strong allegations stated in their petitions, which they offered to prove by the most respectable evidence at the Bar of this House..
(Signed) SHEFFIELD.
On Monday last, the Circuit Court of the United States commenced its adjourned session at the City Hall, in New-York—Judge Patterson presided. After the court was opened and the customary
oath administered to the Grand Jury, an impressive charge was delivered to them by the presiding Judge. The petit jury and the witnesses in the case of the United States against Col. Wm. Smith, and Samuel G. Ogden, were then called; after which a motion was made by the counsel for the defendants, that a compulsory process be issued to secure the attendance of Mr. Madison, Mr. Dearborne, Mr. Smith, and other absent witnesses. In the course of the altercation, to which this motion gave rise, Judge Patterson read a letter, (signed by the gentlemen above mentioned) stating, that the President of the United States had communicated to them his decided opinion that the present situation of public affairs would not admit of their absence from the seat of government. The Court decided that in order to determine the propriety of granting a compulsory process, it was necessary to hear the nature and extent of the testimony expected—and that although the Judges were ready to hear the motion discussed, yet they could not decide upon it, until they had decided a prior motion, offered by the District Attorney, the discussion of which, was postponed until this day. The Counsel then confessed that the discussion of this motion be deferred, and the court adjourned.
THE HONEST LAWYER, AN ANECDOTE.
Glancing an eye over one of your late papers, I accidentally caught the paragraph which stated the death of GEORGE WYTHE, Esq. Chancellor of Virginia. Some of your correspondents, very young and tender hearted, perhaps, appeared quite galvanized by this piece of intelligence; but for my own part, getting now to be a little oldish myself, and daily, as becomes a stranger in Charleston, at this season, looking out for a squall of the same sort, I cannot say it was matter of much shock to me. I knew this much of citizen Wythe, that great and good as he was, he was still no more than mortal man; and I also know, that he was arrived at that full ripe state, at which philosophers and fruits begin, alike, to tremble to their fall; and when death, with a touch of his old reaper, with equal ease, brings down a Chancellor or a cherry—and still less, if possible, was I grieved at his exit. What I grieved at this veteran of the law, after a life of glorious toil, to revive the golden age of justice on earth, was returned to the high courts of heaven—not pale and trembling like the wretched Jeffries, wet with widows' tears, and blood of murdered patriots, to meet the tear-avenging God; but bright in conscious integrity, with hands pure as the sweet palms which press the alabaster bottles of life, and in robes of innocence, snow-white as those that angels wear, to meet the smiles of the Judge Supreme, and the acclamations of brother saints innumerable. Shall I grieve at this? At this, the loveliest light ever yet placed before the eyes of sweetly sympathising charity? Oh no. When a PLEADER, like him, forsakes this toilsome cloud, to return to his native skies, let not the voice of grief be heard. Let us rather follow the steps of his departure with joy-gazing eyes, and shouts of praise to God, for a brother, who, after a life so honourable to human nature, and so instructive to the world, is going to his reward. And for the white robe that guards his sacred dust, is wisdom's beacon to the young. Let it shine with the oil of gladness, suffer it not to be dimm'd with unseemly tears. No; give them to the vile attorney, who for a fee, supported the villain's claims, and tore from the little weeping orphan, his cake and homely robe—give them to the infatuated miser, who, darkened at sight of a creditor, cursed his own signature, if it compelled the payment of a dollar—and still hugged to himself his precious self, content to live a scoundrel, provided he might but die rich—"guilt's blunder, and the loudest laugh of hell." Give to such as these, your tears; they need them; but pour them not over the tomb of the sleeping Wythe, who, while living, shewed how angels love. Having been often told, that though the honestest man in Virginia, yet he was not the most orthodox, I felt a ardent will for an opportunity to learn his real sentiments about religion. That opportunity was soon offered. I fell in with him at Richmond—he invited me to dine with
him. Being altogether granivorous himself, he gave me a dinner exactly to his own tooth: rice milk, improved by plumbs, sugar, and nutmeg! Choice fare for a Bramin, or an old Bachelor. It was over this demulcent diet, that I let drop expressions, which shewed the current of my wishes; he took the hint, and with looks of complacency, and accents sweet as those of his native Mocking-bird, he thus unbosomed himself:—
"Why, Sir, as to religion, I have ever considered it as our best and greatest friend. Those glorious views which it gives of our relation to God, and of our destination to heaven, on the easy terms of a good life, unquestionably furnish the best of all motives to virtue; the strongest dissuasives from vice, and the richest cordial under trouble. Thus far, I suppose, we are all agreed; but not, perhaps, so entirely in another opinion, which is, 'that in the sight of God, moral character is the main point.' This opinion, very clearly taught by reason, is as fully confirmed by revelation; which every where teaches, 'that the tree will be valued only for its good fruit;' and that in the last day, according to our works of love, or of hatred, of mercy, or of cruelty, we shall sing with angels, or weep with devils. In short, the Christian religion, (the sweetest and sublimest in the world,) labours, throughout, to infix in our hearts this great truth, that God is love, and that in exact proportion as we grow in love, we grow in his likeness; and consequently shall partake of his friendship and felicity forever. While others, therefore, have been beating their heads, or embittering their hearts with disputes about 'forms of baptism,' and 'modes of faith,' it has always, thank God, struck me, as my great duty, constantly to think of this—God is love; and he that walketh in love, walketh in God, and God in him."
This was the creed of Chancellor Wythe, the Hale, the Moore of Virginia. His life was correspondingly amiable. His salary, as Chancellor of the State, was 350l. sterling, per annum!—not a tythe, the cost of a diamond necklace for the favourite Miss of an European Nabob—indeed, hardly a month's allowance for one of their dog kennels! But to our honest Chancellor, it was enough, and to spare. So cordially did he abhor the idea of giving to any man the pain of deception and disappointment, that he lived nobly independent with his little revenue, and no creditor ever went sad or angry from his door. With a fair claim on him, you might approach his simple dwelling with as light a heart, as if you were skipping into the State Bank, with a check in your hand from John Blake, Esq. Exhibit your demands against him never so early, yet you never discompose him—his eye lost none of its friendly lustre—his fine open brow contracted no cloud—no feature frowned the hateful Basilisk, to kill the hope, or to mar the pleasure of receiving your money. He never discharged a debt with those distressing sighs, which often make a generous creditor wish he could afford to give it up; nor with that peevishness and passion, which too plainly tell you, that he had rather you were at the devil. His philanthropy gave him that tender interest in your welfare, that "to owe you nothing but love," was to him, in lieu of a harsh precept, an heart-felt pleasure, and scarcely to much his duty as his delight.
The effect of this, on the harmony of society, is incalculable. "Some men," says Lord Chesterfield, "oblige us more in denying, than others in doing us a favour"—owing to the sweet spirit accompanying the denial. Now, if there be such a charm in this spirit, (which is no other than that of love,) that with it, a denial obliges us more than a donation without it, then how delicious to the heart must the obligation be, when accompanied with that inexpressible charm of look, voice and manner, which even converts denial into obligation? Here lay the fort of this eminent Barrister, from whose fair example even pulpits might gain instruction. He always received his creditor with a countenance so refreshing—attended to his claim with such respectful readiness—and discharged it with a promptitude and pleasure so dearing—that his creditor actual-ly felt himself, in turn, a debtor to the good Chancellor, whom he nev-
er left but with a throb of grateful sentiment, spontaneously breathing out his warmest benedictions on his head, and in as fervent prayers, that all men would, but like him, "live together in love, as dear children;" daily exalting each other's esteem, by duties, honourably performed; daily sweetening each other's spirits, by good offices, cheerfully rendered—that thus, ever filling each other's hearts with love, they may sitrew over with flowers this life's paths, and substantially support each other's steps to a better, where the recollection of such essential services past, will serve to give a brighter lustre to their love beaming eyes, and to exalt to higher enjoyment, their blissful communion forever.
In support of this little moral eulogy of Chancellor Wythe—in proof, I mean, that he possessed that fervent love, which gave him to tender an interest in the comfort of another, that no money could ever tempt him to invade it: take the following anecdote of him, and most exactly, (in substance at least) as I received it from the Rev. Mr. Lee Massey, a first-rate Virginia clergyman, and from early life, the intimate of Mr. Wythe.
"In the month of June, many years ago, I went," said Mr. Massey, "to dine with my friend, Bob Alexander." (Now, it may not much confuse the reader, to tell him that this same Bob Alexander, as Mr. Massey, in his familiar way, always called him, was a wealthy and worthy gentleman, living on the Potomac, and near Alexandria.) Well, "while Mrs. Alexander, like Milton's Eve, 'on hospitable thoughts intent,' was preparing an elegant dinner, Bob and I took our chairs into the piazza, which commanded a very fine prospect indeed—full in our view lay the Potomac, the mile-wide boundary between the sister states of Maryland and Virginia—on the Virginia side, the rich bottoms lengthened out, far as the eye could see, were covered with crops of full ripe wheat, whose yellow tops, rolling in ridges before the playful breeze, reflected the beams of the sun in sudden gleams of gold, brightening the day—on the Maryland side, a stately ridge of hills high crowned with trees, formed, as it were, a frowning guard to the great river, and threw its subliming shades, a striking contrast to the milder beauties of the opposite shore. Outspread between the two lay the Potomac, whose little waves, just waked up by the young winds of summer, ran, chasing each other along their sky-blue fields, often speaking their joy in bursts of snowy laughter. While thus we sat feasting on these richly varied and magnificent scenes, which the great Maker had so kindly spread before us, Bob's servant arrived from town with the newspapers and letter, which he handed to his master. Having hastily run it over, he exclaimed with great earnestness, 'Well, really, Parson, this is strange, very strange! Why that Geo. Wythe must certainly be either an angel or a fool.' 'Not a fool, Bob, said I, 'George Wythe is no fool.' 'Well that was never my opinion, neither, Parson; but what the plague are we to make of this confounded letter here—suppose, Parson, you read it, and give me your opinion on it.'—I took it, and with great pleasure read nearly word for word, as follows:—
Robert Alexander, Esq.
SIR—The suit wherein you were pleased to do me the honour to engage my services, was last week brought to trial, and has fully satisfied me that you were entirely in the wrong. Knowing you to be a perfectly honest man, I conclude that you have been altogether misled. At any rate, I find that I have been altogether misled in the affair, and therefore insist on washing my hands of it immediately. In so doing I trust I shall not be charged with any failure of duty to you. As your lawyer 'tis true I owe you every thing—every thing consistent with justice—against her, nothing; nor ever can owe. For justice is appointed of God, the golden rule of all order throughout the universe, and therefore, as involving the greatest of all possible good to his creatures, it must be of all things the dearest to HIMSELF. He therefore, who knowingly acts against justice, is a rebel against God and a premeditated murderer of mankind. Of this crime, (which worlds could not tempt me to commit) I should certainly be guilty,
were I, under my present convictions, to go on with your suit. I hasten therefore to enclose you the 50 dollar note you gave me as a fee, and with it my advice, that you compromise the matter on the best terms you can.
I have just to add, that as conscience will not allow me to lay anything for you, honour forbids that I should lay any thing against you. But by all means, compromise, and save the costs. Adieu—wishing you that inward sunshine, which nothing outward can darken.
I remain, dear Sir, yours,
GEORGE WYTHE.
For the sake of those who may wish to know whether the advice in this extraordinary letter was followed or not, I beg leave to add, that it was not followed—Mr. Massey told me, that his friend Bob was resolved, nolens, volens , to go on with the suit, and therefore gave the fifty dollar note to some other gentleman of the law, who pushed the matter for him, and exactly with the success predicted by the good Mr. Wythe, the loss of his land, with all costs! —"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."

Commissions for England.
I PURPOSE departing for England, on Monday, 25th August, via Philadelphia, and shall return in the spring.—any persons wanting articles from thence, will find it a good opportunity to procure them on reasonable terms.
I have patterns by me of many kinds of goods, and lists of a great variety of articles, particularly of Mathematical, Philosophical & Astronomical Instruments and Apparatus—a pattern book of Tools and Implements in various branches, and a complete catalogue of Books, with the prices annexed, from the store of Lockington, Allen & Co. London, who are esteemed the cheapest book-sellers in the world.
I will procure the above, or any other articles, on the best terms, and bring them over with me, for a reasonable commission; or will transact any other kind of agency business.
Those who advance the money will have a considerable advantage, and respectable references will be given for their satisfaction; but I have no objection to advance the money myself, on their paying a deposit.

WARM & COLD BATHS.
THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use.
The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where exhausting pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort.
G. A. WEBER.
N. B. Dr. Buchanan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure remuneration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking.
Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season.

TO THE MEMOIR
MRS. REBECCA BARR,
(By a disinterested Acquaintance.)
In the midst of political factions, when our minds are constantly depressed by torrents of abuse, poured on those characters whose general tenor of conduct, had taught us to respect for a long time. Whilst the rage of electioneering fury gives birth to unwarrantable lies, in order to delude the electors—whilst the horizon of the Western world is perpetually darkened with clouds of conspiracies, the more believed, on account of their being far fetched and impossible to trace, at least, for the peaceable citizen, who can give himself very little trouble about unknown names, and a long spun story. It is in the obscurity of private life, that our weary minds ought to look for a relief of political discord—it is there that we might admire the constant practice of those virtues, which are sometimes given to mankind, to balance those vices to which society gives birth. The praise of those virtues is often read with an indifference, that forms a bitter contrast with the avidity with which detraction is received, and it is upon this perverse disposition that many writers found all their hopes of fortune, until at last, those weapons which they have employed, fall back upon themselves with accumulated weight, and bring them to disgrace, contempt and oblivion.
I have been led to those reflections by my desire of paying a just tribute of praise to the memory of the late Mrs. Barr. Her numerous friends and acquaintances will join in this disinterested eulogy, and those to whom she was not known, will find in this feeble sketch of her character, every reason to forgive its infirmity.
It was after having surmounted every difficulty that fortune presents to every one, who wishes to bring up a large family in a reputable manner, it was at that moment of being rewarded for all the troubles of her husband and herself, that Mrs. Barr was attacked with a cancer in her breast. She knew it to be an infallible cause of premature death, and of indescribable torment; but although that certitude clouded all the prospects of happiness of a family, who almost idolized their mother, she herself bore it not only with resignation, but with unaffected cheerfulness. It is easy for the warrior at the head of his troops, or for the apostle of a sect, whose followers pamper him with their admiration—it is easy for them to brave death; but to see it approaching for eight years together—to feel it, while every faculty remains unimpaired, and to suffer excruciating torture, without either ostentation or weakness, is an effort of virtue that should call our admiration more forcibly, than all the boasted heroism of the warrior, or of the martyr. Mrs. Barr had an enlightened mind, and a sound judgment, without the least pedantry. Her good taste and industry, gave animation and usefulness to every branch of her extensive domestic concerns; and while she diffused real and solid happiness round her, she never neglected that elegance, without which, fortune itself is inferior to poverty. Her house, her table, her garden, were the admiration and comfort of her friends, whilst the farmer's wife herself, would have praised her attention to things of the most minute detail. By bringing up her children to industry and elegance, she led them to that happiness, which they in return, centered in her. Her conversation amused and instructed them, and they looked upon her presence, as necessary to complete their pleasures. To her friends, Mrs. Barr was a treasure; and their regrets will long honor her memory: for her affections were solid, being unbiaffed by
prejudice, and always confirmed by her sound understanding.
In 1803, she went to Philadelphia, on the reputation of a man celebrated for curing cancers. During her stay, she gave new proofs of her taste for embellishing her abode, and enriching this new country, by collecting every useful and agreeable plant. On her return, her friends thought themselves happy in her perfect recovery; but after three or four months, the fatal wound opened anew, and from that moment, to that of her death, her sufferings increased, and became at last past description. Her cheerfulness, however, never forsook her, and in the intervals of atrocious pain, the good sense and gaiety of her conversation, never failed to excite the admiration or mirth of her family and friends, while a consciousness of what she suffered, forced tears from them. No wife, no mother, no sister-in-law was ever better attended; every one who went to visit Mrs. Barr, during the last period of her life, could read her sufferings in every countenance that surrounded her. We must draw a veil upon the last scene of her torments—A whole family was, reduced to indescribable sorrow—A mother, a wife, a woman, whose worth they felt so well, was no more!—O thou benevolent spirit; if from thy sacred abode, thou look'st down, behold every one of thy friends drop tears of heart-felt sorrow, when they look for thee in that large mansion, which thy departure has at most converted into a dreary solitude—if they walk in that garden, once the seat of thy taste, and almost the work of thy own hands—every fragrant flower, every choice fruit, remind them of the amiable and virtuous being who planted them—and may they, if possible, add to thy everlasting happiness, whilst they repeat "her memory will always be dear to us!"
MR. BRADFORD,
We, the people of Kentucky, have observed the publication from the WESTERN WORLD, entitled "The Kentucky Spanish Association, &c." We have also taken notice of the opposition, both personal, and in the public prints, which has been made to this publication. Suspecting that this opposition may have arisen from an apprehension on the part of the opponents, that the publication might produce disturbance amongst the inhabitants of this country, and particularly that it might occasion some collisions between us, and those who are implicated in that publication, we beg leave to assure those, who have been so forward in their opposition, that there is no just ground for their apprehensions. A stranger is not to dictate to us the opinions which we ought to entertain of any of our fellow citizens—especially of those whom we have tried, and who have so amply justified the public confidence in the councils of our State and of the Union. The partiality of the Editors, in so liberally giving us the names of some, and withholding those of others, has not escaped our notice.—We do not yet understand what they mean by giving us Mr. J. Brown, Col. Burr, &c. &c.—and Mr. J. Brown, Col. J. Brown, F*****s, &c. &c. Our wish however, is, that they be permitted to go on, without opposition of any kind, to tell us the whole story, and when they shall have finished their patriotic publication we shall judge, from the documents produced, who they are who merit our execration; those whose names are given & insinuated, or the Editors of the WESTERN WORLD.
THE PEOPLE.
A Petersburg, (Virg.) paper of the 11th inst. states, that the prospects of the ensuing harvest of corn, were never more flattering and that if appearances continue, the present year's crop will, if possible, exceed that of the last—indeed the season has been uncommonly favorable for the production of every species of grain, the wheat harvest has been very abundant, and with respect to the quantity of tobacco (about which so many bets have been made) it is not doubted but it will be nearly to what has been produced for the last two or three years.
A letter from Washington, received at Baltimore, dated the 19th inst. says, "Bonaparte has partitioned Switzerland into 3 parts.—The Pope has retired to a convent; his temporal powers have devolved on Bonaparte; his spiritual on a divine whose title I do not recollect [Cardinal Fesch]—Things looked
well at Paris on the 1st of June." [The above letter we have the best reason to deem correct.—The division of Switzerland is between Bonaparte, Baden and Wirttemberg.]—Edit. Philad. Gaz.
FRANKFORT, May 24.—The King of Sweden has received a considerable sum of money at Hamburg, which has been sent to him by his Britannic majesty.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 7.—It is reported that in consequence of a note transmitted to the Reis Effendi, by the French d'Affaires, the Ottoman Porte will formally cede all the possessions heretofore dependencies of the Republic of Venice, situated in Dalmatia and Turkish Albania, as forming an integral part of the French empire. The Russians make great and frequent movements on the frontiers of Wallachia.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 9.—The French Agent Romieux, who was sent from hence about the end of last summer, we now learn had a mission to Fatali Schah, the King of Persia; but upon his return, he was attacked and murdered not far from the Turkish frontier. The perpetrators are unknown.
NEW YORK, July 18.—It is worthy of remark, that the passengers who arrived here in the ship Justin, capt. Gardner, from Newry, had among them upwards of 22,000 guineas.
Capt. Bromham, who arrived at New-Haven on Sunday last, informs, that he left Barbadoes the 20th of June, and that General Miranda failed the same day for Trinidad, in the Leander, in company with three sloops of war, and two or three small vessels, with arms, ammunition, &c. They were to be joined at Trinidad, by 3 frigates, and thence to proceed to some part of the Main. Capt. Lewis of the Leander had given up the command, and left the ship. Capt. B. was informed by the officers of the expedition, that General Miranda received a letter, by an express-boat from Trinidad, just before he failed, informing him, that a large force had collected on the Main, for the purpose of joining him the moment he should land.
Particulars respecting the French and British Fleets off St. Thomas.
On Sunday the 6th of July, capt. Patterson, being in the harbour of St. Thomas, where it had been moored for some days past, that the French fleet under a French Admiral, Jerome Bonaparte commanding one of the ships, intended to destroy the British Merchantmen, consisting of near 200 sail, then arrived at Tortola, in order to collect the remaining ships that were to proceed to Europe, which occasioned considerable alarm in the island.
At about 12 o'clock a large ship hove in sight, and another followed—and they continued following till six sail of the line were in sight, and one frigate; they in passing shewed no colours, except one with a tricoloured flag at her foretop mast head, they had all sail set; an English frigate followed them close on their heels, and soon after four British sail of the line followed them, and as they passed shewed their colours—not being ashamed of them.
The French went through the fast Rock passage, and stood to the northward, the British fleet hove too, not for any disaster having happened to the British Fleet as before mentioned, but to wait for the two frigates that had not joined them; the lookout British frigate kept up with the French fleet, and was some time within Gun shot—The French fleet were living with their heads to the northward, the British fleet with their heads to the southward.
The French consisted of four of 84 guns, and two of 74, and one large frigate—the British of three of 74 guns, and one of 64 guns, and three frigates; they were about 3 leagues apart when the Governor M c Lean left them; she was overhauled by the French fleet, and dismissed about 7 P. M.; and left the Lucy of Wilmington, laying to be overhauled after several shot being fired at her from the French Admiral's ship. Admiral Cochrane has thus far succeeded in driving this fleet off and preserving Tortola, and a valuable fleet of merchantmen.
A London paper of June 2, says, "Mr. Secretary Fox, in the course
of his admirable speech on Saturday morning, took an opportunity of throwing out his ideas respecting that kind of peace which he was anxious to obtain. He expressly stated, that "he wished for such a peace as could be made on tolerable terms; but then the character of the peace he wished for was, that it should preserve our connections with the continent of Europe, and not give up any thing which the point of honor forbade us to give up." These spirited sentiments were cheered from all sides of the house.
On the subject of invasion the Right Hon. Secretary observed, "that he differed much from some of his friends on that subject. He by no means dreaded invasion. He thought we had, in the first place, a powerful security in the superiority of our navy; and in the second place, in the spirit of the nation, which he was convinced was abundantly sufficient to triumph ultimately over any army that could invade this country."

BENJAMIN LLOYD. July 13th, 1806.

MR. EDITOR, Moore, the most celebrated translator of Anacreon, has written a small volume of Poems, which he attributes to THOMAS LITTLE, Esq. This volume I have read with exquisite rapture, and consider the poems generally, as the sweetest production of the English Muse. The ODE UPON MORNING, which I now send you, I think his happiest effort.
FIDELIS ODE UPON MORNING, BY THOMAS MOORE esq.
Turn to me Love! the morning rays, Are glowing on thy languid charms; Take one luxurious parting gaze, While yet I linger in thy arms.
'Twas long before the rosy light, I stole into thy bosome dear! And now the glance of morning light Has found me still in dalliance here.
Turn to me Love! the trembling glories Of morn, along thy white neck stray; Away, away, you envious beams, I'll chase you with my lips away!
Oh! is it not divine to think, While all around were lull'd in night, While e'en the planets seem'd to wink, We kept our vigils of delight.
The heart, that little world of ours, Unlike the drowsy world of care, Then, when awak'd its sweetest powers, And all was animation there.
Kiss me once more, and then I fly, Our parting would be noonday last; Then close that languid, trembling eye, And sweetly dream of all the past!
As soon as night shall fix her seal Upon the eyes and lips of men, Oh dearest! I will panting steal To nestle in thy arms again.
Our joys shall take their stolen flight, Secret as those celestial spheres, Which make sweet music all the night, Unheard by drowsy mortal ears.

AN ELIGIBLE SEAT FOR IRON & OTHER WATER-WORKS.
The undersigned, from his experience in Iron and other water-works, is induced to believe that the mouth of Little river, in Christian county, forms the most eligible seat he has seen:—First, on account of the largeness and constancy of the stream—secondly, the security of the seat, as the dam may be founded on, and abutted against rocks through its whole length—thirdly, navigation, which is practicable at all times to the wharves of the different works—fourthly, the plenitude and quality of the Ore, there being ten or twelve banks of different kinds convenient to the seat—fifthly, the abundance and suitability of timber for the works or ship building—sixthly, the suitability of the surrounding country for the production of wheat, which, independent of the advantages of boating it down the Cumberland from Tennessee, would render a merchant mill valuable. Considerable work is already done at this seat, but it admits of more extensive objects than the undertaker is able to embrace, he wishes to form a connection capable of prosecuting it into vigorous and extensive operation.
The terms will be advantageous, and can be known by an interchange of letters on the subject, with any gentlemen who may choose to adventure, after which the seat can be viewed, and a contract confirmed if thought advisable. EDWARD RUMSEY. Christn-cty. K. July 10, 1806. 4w
