Wm. BOYLAN. Raleigh, North-Carolina, July 1, 1806.
From the New England Republican.
The following remarks were forwarded to us for publication, previous to the last election in this state, but came to hand too late to be inserted in our paper at that time.
To the honest and independent freemen of Connecticut.
It is often said, by those who are for revolutionizing our state, in justification of their conduct, that those who fill our publick offices are opposed to the administration of the general government.
It is a fact, that Alexander Wolcott and Abraham Bishop (the fomentors of all the troubles and evils arising from the party spirit which has for several years past set at variance neighbours and friends, and destroyed social intercourse) each, as a reward for his past and present exertions, is enjoying an office bestowed upon him by Mr. Jefferson worth between 3 and 4000 dollars per year.
It is a fact that these men, and the other democrats, from Maine to Georgia, before Mr. Jefferson's accession to office, exclaimed about the exorbitancy of salaries, and the enormous expenses attending the support of civil government, and promised they would "correct the procedure."
The following statement, from printed official documents, will answer these questions as to one important item—I mean the salaries of our publick officers, and the other expenses attending the support of civil government.
During the four last years of the Federal Administration, the expenses of Civil Government were,
Table with 2 columns: Year (1797-1800) and dollars. Total: 2,150,685.30
During the four first years of Mr. Jefferson's administration, the expenses of Civil Government were,
Table with 2 columns: Year (1801-1804) and dollars. Total: 2,274,833.83
I mean merely by the above statement to show, that the former administration does not suffer in the comparison with the latter, and that the promises which were made to the people, were not, and perhaps could not be fulfilled.
It is a fact that the present administration have repealed the internal taxes upon whiskey, &c. &c. which obliged the southern people to contribute in some measure towards the publick burdens.
It is a fact that the present administration have paid 15 millions of our money for Louisiana—a purchase of no service to this country in general, except so far as it respects the right to navigate the Mississippi, and the right of deposit at New Orleans;
It is a fact, that this purchase, which has been so much extolled by the Democrats, and which they said included West Florida, has already become the cause of a most serious dispute with Spain, or rather France, who has the management of it for Spain, and does not entitle us to one inch of ground in West Florida, or east of New-Orleans.
It is also a fact, that the Louisiana purchase has turned out precisely as the Federalists always predicted; that it did not extend east of New-Orleans, and that it would be the source of future difficulties.
only confirmed what the federalists have uniformly said, but has gone much further than they ever have, in exposing the weakness and rottenness of the whole system of policy of the administration.
What then, fellow citizens, will you say to these things, when a former distinguished friend, whom the democratic party have so highly adored, and extolled as an honest and independent man, comes forward, and not only confirms what Federalists have so often asserted; but he goes much further than they have ever done, in exposing the incapability of Mr. Jefferson and his administration?
These are facts—I leave you candidly to draw your conclusions—I leave you to say what and how, as honest citizens, as friends to yourselves and your country, you ought to think and to act, in the present crisis.
A FELLOW CITIZEN.
ALEXANDER BERTHIER, THE NEW DUKE OF NEUFCHATEL.
Among all the French generals and officers of state, none has been for so many years intimately connected with Napoleon, as Alexander Berthier, the inseparable companion in arms of the French emperor.
Like all the military men who assisted America in asserting her independence, Alexander Berthier was a professed patriot, at the commencement of the French revolution, even before the destruction of the Bastille.
Berthier obtained a command in the army of marshal Luckner. He had still to contend with invidious malevolence, when the French army was compelled to retreat before the combined forces of Austria and Prussia, towards Lisle.
In the attacks upon the insurgents of the West, at Vic, General Berthier performed prodigies of valour. At that time, the French army was commanded by general Laberolliere, and the representatives of the people, Bourbotte and Thureau.
According to the reports of the general-in-chief, Berthier took a most active part in the battles of Millesimo, Ceva, Mendovi, Lodi, Trent, Roveredo, Brescia; and in all the victories of the French arms in Italy.
Peace was the fruit of these achievements. Berthier was directed to convey the preliminaries of peace, signed at Leoben, by Buonaparte, and the Marchese Gallo, to Hoche, the commander in chief of the army of the Sambre and Meuse.
In the year 1797 Berthier was commissioned by Buonaparte to carry to Paris the treaty of Campo Formio. At the same time, the general in chief wrote as follows to the Directory: "General Berthier, is one of the pillars of the republic, as well as one of the most zealous defenders of liberty;
Alexander Berthier returned to the post of honour which Buonaparte had assigned him. He was at Milan when an extraordinary courier brought him orders to march immediately to Rome, to avenge the murder of the murdered general Duphat.
insurrection, which extended from Rome, over the whole Ecclesiastical State, and might have led to serious consequences.
When Brune was appointed commander in chief of the army of Italy, Berthier quitted this theatre of his glory, and hastened to Paris. His destiny was closely linked with that of Napoleon Buonaparte, who again nominated him chief of the staff of the army of England.
At the battle of Marengo he was by his side; with pain he was obliged to inform Buonaparte, that the French were retreating, and that the army was in a highly critical situation.
Berthier was twice appointed minister of war by the first consul, once before, and once after the battle of Marengo. He was then dispatched, as ambassador extraordinary, to the Spanish court.

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1806.
The appearance of the weather, had for some days past, indicated a storm, which came on Saturday last, attended with heavy rain. The wind thro' the day was from South to East. In the night it got more to the Northward; and from midnight until about three in the morning, the wind blew with great violence, from North to North West, after which it abated. It was fortunate that the violence of the gale was of so short duration, for had it continued it must have done great damage.
We are happy to learn, that less damage has been sustained than was apprehended. The ship Atlantic, and brig Martha Bland, were driven from their moorings in Hampton Roads, and were on shore, the former is already off, and the latter will be got off without any damage. Several vessels in the harbour, were drove from their moorings and fasts, but have not sustained any material damage.
Several new buildings were partly blown down, and otherwise much injured.
From the coast we have not heard, and as the more violent part of the gale was offshore, it is hoped that little or no damage will be sustained.
This gale will occasion considerable damage in the country, particularly to the corn, which must be blown down.
JUVENIS, will remember that there can be no jest, which gives pain to any one; and that true wit, and good nature are more nearly allied than he seems to suppose.
An arrival from Liverpool at Boston, brings London advices to the 1st, and Liverpool to the 3d July. We do not discover in them any event of importance since our last advices of the 25th of June.
The rumour of PEACE appears to gain ground, although we cannot discover for what reason, unless from the exchange of a few Couriers, which may be on many accounts.
That France may wish to amuse England, with a negotiation for peace, or that she may be inclined for a peace, we can very readily imagine, and England cannot do otherwise than receive and reply to such overtures. Upon this subject we would offer the following speculations from the London Courier of June 24.
"We are not only of opinion that negotiation has been entered upon, but we are not unprepared to expect the speedy signature of preliminaries of peace. As Buonaparte would of course demand in limine as the basis and foundation of all negotiations, that we should acquiesce in all his arrangements with respect to the continent, the negotiation would of have been broken off instantly had Mr. Fox, [who is evidently the prime minister, for in no one instance since the foundation of the new ministry, have we discovered the Grenvilles to be predominant] had Mr. Fox, we repeat, not been prepared to acquiesce in those arrangements. The negotiation is generally believed to have been going on for some time: and it is said that the despatches from our government have been sent by the French officers permitted to return home, and that the despatches from the French government have been brought by English gentlemen detained since the commencement of the war, and allowed to return to their own country. On condition of our acquiescence in and acknowledgement of the recent changes on the continent, Buonaparte, it is rumoured, will not object to our keeping Malta and the Cape, and will even give back Hanover to his Britannic majesty. That Prussia has taken Hanover as a compensation for Anspach and other territories ceded to France and Bavaria, will not be any obstacle to the arrangement we have just mentioned. For it must be recollected, that Buonaparte has never declared that Hanover belonged definitely to Prussia; and indeed it must be recollected, that not long ago it was said in the Moniteur , that what she had got was infinitely more than an equivalent for what she had given up. Buonaparte will dispose of Prussia with as little ceremony as he violated her territory of Anspach."
"It is true Mr. Fox pledged himself, that he would not relinquish one point of honour, an expression which, it is supposed, he meant to apply principally to Hanover, which he declared his Britannic majesty would on no consideration consent to abandon, or cede to his Prussian majesty. But we should have thought that another point of honour which it would have been quite as necessary not to relinquish as the point of honour with respect to Hanover, would have been that which relates to the king of Naples. The Moniteur always described his Neapolitan majesty as the victim of this country; and it cannot be denied that this attachment to the cause of the allies last war furnished Buonaparte with a pretext for invading the Neapolitan territories. Can we, without the most outrageous violation of the point of honour, recognize Joseph Buonaparte as the king of Naples? We know there are some persons who will ask this question: How can we expel Joseph Buonaparte from Naples, and restore the rightful sovereign? To that question we shall always make this reply—that there cannot be a more detestable maxim or principle laid down than this, that what we cannot prevent we ought to acquiesce in. But if it be said that in order to rescue the ministers from the charge of abandoning the king of Naples, Buonaparte will promise to indemnify him elsewhere; will that in fact be any thing short of abandoning his majesty? We have seen Buonaparte solemnly pledge himself to indemnify the king of Sardinia, but how has he fulfilled that pledge? He would perform any promise with respect to the king of Naples with equal fidelity. But the peace may be concluded without any mention made or stipulation introduced for recognizing the changes upon the continent. But would not that be an equal abandonment of the point of honour with respect to Naples? Besides as Buonaparte is so anxious for an acquiescence in his new arrangements we cannot believe that he will consent to make peace without such an acquiescence on our part."
"It may be said, that another ally and a relative of his Neapolitan majesty, the emperor of Germany, made no stipulations in his favor—True. But under what circumstances did his imperial majesty negotiate a peace with France? With his capital and his country in the possession of France. Besides, Buonaparte has not at that time invaded Naples, nor had he expelled the royal family from the throne."
"To this subject, embracing so many points, and touching such a variety of interests, we shall have frequent occasion to refer. We certainly cannot see the necessity of negotiation at present, nor does any man in the kingdom, we believe, expect that any"
peace can be made under the present circumstances can be so good a one as the peace of Amiens. The Foxites approved of that peace, we know, and the principle upon which they did so may induce them to approve of a peace less advantageous. But is that a principle which will find favour with any other man in the kingdom?"
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Alicante, (Spain) to the Editor of the Norwich Courier, dated June 10.
"We received a circular from John Martin Barker, Esq. consul at Palma, island of M. jorca, which states, that on the 15th May, there anchored in that bay a Tunisian division, of 5 square rigged vessels, the one a frigate of 38 guns, 4 of Zebecquehulks, one mounting 38 guns, and the others 36, the whole full of men. The report they made to the captain general was, they sailed from Tunis on the 15th April, in quest of Portuguese, and were in want of wood and water. The whole of the division sailed on the night of the 26th May."
"Officially informed as to our actual situation with the regency of Tunis, I have considered it prudent to communicate to you the above information; from every information, however, which can be obtained, they have no hostile intentions against the American flag."

The Georgia and Carolina pine does not advance in proportion, as it only suits for particular purposes. Sugars, coffee, cocoa, and ginger—the unsettled state of political affairs having for some time past interrupted all intercourse with the continent no demand whatever has yet appeared for export, of course, the price of all these articles must be considered as nominal.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,
Received at Boston from the Ship Packet, Captain Scott, from Liverpool.
LONDON, June 25.
Mysterious and Extraordinary Affair.
The assertion on the conduct of an illustrious personage, still engages the publick attention to a degree corresponding with the important & unparallelled nature of the case. The acts charged would, if proved, amount to no less than high treason; if not proved, the infamous calumny will amount to the same high crime in those by whom the information was given, with the most positive assurances of substantiating it by proof. The parties have been long honoured with the particular intimacy of the illustrious personage. The nature of the accusation, amounting to what might eventually affect the succession to the crown, and the great stake the accusers put to hazard, all these circumstances demanded a serious attention to what has been preferred by the accusers; and it was on these grounds alone that the information was attended to. Though the report may not be made for some days, we understand, from the most respectable quarter that the commissioners are decidedly against the charge, for which, on the strictest investigation, not the slightest foundation can be discovered.
The secret committee, constituted under the king's privy seal, to enquire into the conduct of a distinguished female character, have not yet closed their proceedings: the depositions of various witnesses have been taken upon oath before them, on which it would be highly reprehensible to offer a single comment. The Commissioners are expected to state their progress this day, to his majesty, at Buckingham House, and to make a full report to him in the course of a few days.
June 26.
Yesterday arrived a Gottenburgh Mail; the only intelligence it brings deserving notice is the following, given under the date of June 16:—We have great reason to believe that the differences between this country and Prussia will be speedily accommodated through the medium of Russia.
Spain has made a last naval effort, by equipping 20 sail of the line. Of this number eight are at Cartagena, and nine at Cadiz. Buonaparte has insisted, that she should either declare against Russia, or shut her ports against the ships of that nation; but now that he is anxious for a reconciliation with Russia, the intended proceeding, it is thought, will not be carried into effect.
It is believed that some requisition has been made to Prussia on the part of France to evacuate Hanover.
June 27.
Poland has been opened at Lloyd's within the last few days, giving sixty guineas to receive one hundred, if peace shall be conceded with France before the first of January.

The delicate enquiry has not yet been brought to a termination: and nothing official has yet been permitted to transpire.
June 30.
Despatches arrived at Deal yesterday afternoon, and were immediately forwarded to his majesty's ministers. It is supposed that they were sent from Boulogne.
Stocks experienced a considerable rise this morning—the 3 per cents to 63 3-4, and the omnium to 63 3-4. This rise was produced by the belief that a negotiation for peace is still going on.
The most important article in the Dutch papers is the speech of king Louis to their high mightinesses, the states-general. It is too vague and general to merit particular observation. In this famous address the annals of that once celebrated republic are studiously retraced and examined, and for what? Why forsooth, for the purpose of declaring to the Batavians that all their former struggles for liberty produced them neither freedom nor tranquillity, and that the day upon which a Corsican usurper usurped the sovereignty of Holland, was "the first day of the real independence of the United Provinces." The mind turns with disgust from such instances of unfeeling insult and irony.
The Dutch papers also contain several addresses from those pliant bodies, the corporations of the different towns through which his majesty passed, on his way to his palace near the Hague. No doubt they were prepared by the committee of Dutch renegades and traitors who have arranged the plan of the new constitution. They are as unuseful examples of gross and disgusting flattery as any which have ever been offered by French or Italian servility to Buonaparte himself. But this is not the general feel-
ing of the Batavians. By a gentleman arrived from Holland on Saturday, in the accuracy of whose intelligence we can place greater reliance, we are informed, "that so averse are the people of that country to the kingly government, that they publicly execrate the name. Most of the officers are removed who were supposed to be partial to the former. The sailors, who are most decided in their disapprobation of the new system, do not hesitate to express it publicly. An additional quantity of liquor having been served out few days ago for the purpose of celebrating the accession of king Louis, they to a man, refused to drink the health of the new sovereign. With the exception of the French troops by whom he is surrounded, and the few Dutch traitors whom he had gained over by cresses and places, king Louis is not a single friend in the country."
A neutral captain, who left the Texel a few days ago, was present when the new colours arrived on board the ships of war on Sunday se'nnight. The crews were ordered to man the yards, and give three cheers in honour of the king. Of six ships of the line, three only would perform this duty, and the officers did not seem desirous to press it.
General sir Charles Green, is appointed governor of Surinam, and created a Baronet.
The fate of Germany is decided, and the new constitution projected by Buonaparte, will appear in a few days: Cardinal Fesch is the bearer of it. This free imperial city is fortunately to retain its liberties, under the immediate auspices of the king of Prussia. The whole plan shews that Buonaparte aims at universal monarchy.
Gaeta still holds out. The insurrections in the kingdom of Naples continue to a most alarming degree, and reinforcements of French troops are daily arriving there.
The negotiations between the courts of St. Petersburg and Berlin are said to have been broken off, because his Swedish majesty will admit of no condition dishonourable to his engagements, or repugnant to his feelings.
Extract of a letter from an officer at St. Helena, dated May 3.
"We are just arrived here from the Cape of Good Hope, with a large fleet of men of war and transports. Our destination is for the Rio de la Plata, where our first object of attack will be Montevideo, and then Buenos Ayres, which places we expect will make but little resistance."
The funds have this day advanced in price, probably in consequence of Lord Yarmouth's arrival at Paris being announced in the Moniteur , and the intelligence that the French 3 per cents, had risen from 63 1-2 to 64 1-2. The prices at one o'clock this day were—3 per cent. consols for the opening 63 5-8 a 3-4—reduced 62 3-8 a 1-2—Omnium 6 1-2 a 3-4.
Since our last, Dutch papers to the 25th, which contain French news to the 20th instant, have come to hand. They are chiefly occupied with details relative to the entrance of king Louis into Holland, and his reception in that country.
The speech of king Louis to their High Mightinesses bears every appearance of having been prepared at Paris. It is in the same spirit with the declarations that passed at the Thuilleries when the new constitution of Holland was first announced.
The new king felicitates himself on the symptoms of affection he has received from his subjects—who delivered with appropriate complaisance the speeches that had been prepared for them. We learn, however by a gentleman now in town, and came from Amsterdam in the American brig Clinton , arrived at Dover, a circumstance that shews more forcibly than all the details that can appear in the Dutch journals what are the real sentiments of the Dutch people on this occasion.—Orders were issued to serve out to each seaman on board the ships of war lying in the Texel, an allowance of Geneva to drink the health of the new king.—To a man they declared they were not thirsty! and therefore they had no use for the spirits!!
The old staunch Dutch republicans declare, that ten years ago they would have as easily credited a report of the emperor of China being at the Hague, as they should have a king set over them by the French, who were then so actively fighting against loyalty. Capt. Tetten, of the American ship Constellation , from Amsterdam, arrived at Cowes, says that the dissatisfaction that prevails in Holland, at the new government imposed upon that country, is very general.
Harrassed as the Dutch have been by various governments during the last ten years, they cannot be supposed to depart on this occasion from their national phlegmatic indifference; but the galling consideration is, that under this new governor they will regain no part of their independence. Louis may not be more unexceptionable to them than Schimmelpennick; but they know that either of them is the mere puppet of a greater power, who says to these mock monarchs in the words of Trinculo, "You shall be King but I will be viceroy over you."
There are now 6 ships of 74 guns, and one of 80 guns, lying in the Nieu Diep, ready for sea; and in the Roads the Riflesman brig.
Letters from Italy mention, that the flotilla sent by the French, to attack Gaeta by sea, has fallen into the hands of the English. Prince Hesse Philipstall still continues his gallant defence of the place, and harasses the besiegers with repeated sorties, which have been hitherto successful.
The intelligence in the following private letter, which appears very probable, is important:
"HAMBURGH, June 20.
"Yesterday evening, it was reported here, that the fate of Germany was decided. There is no longer an empire of Germany, but instead hereof three great powers, Austria, Prussia and Bavaria. The remainder of Germany, Saxony, Hesse, the Hanseatic towns, &c will form a confederated state, under the protection of the emperor of the Romans, which title Buonaparte will assume. He will be represented in Germany by the arch chancellor cardinal Fesch. I cannot vouch with absolute certainty for the truth of this arrangement, though I believe it cannot be doubted that it will take place."
Letters dated the 18th inst. from Bremen, mention, that the Prussian garrison was positively to evacuate that city within 3 days after. Possibly the inhabitants may find some relief and convenience in this arrangement. We think, however, it is not likely to produce much commercial advantage to them. The blockade of the Weser, will scarcely be discontinued, as long as the obnoxious and general order of the court of Berlin for shutting its ports against British vessels remains untracted.

Much expectation was raised in the house of peers yesterday, respecting the nature of the question which lord Melville intended to put to ministers, with regard to the present state of India. Many peers attended in their places, and a great number of members of the other house appeared behind the Throne. Lord Melville was for some time in conversation with lord Minto previous to his rising to put his questions. It appearing from the answers of that noble lord, that the present governor-general, Sir G. Barlow, was only to continue at the head of affairs until a successor arrived to take his place, and that consequently there was no stable government at present in India. Lord Melville gave notice that he should on Friday next submit a motion to the house,
showing how precarious our power and security in India were under such unsettled circumstances.
The Hamburg mail due on Sunday arrived last night. By the letters from Constantinople, it appears that the Divan acts more openly under the influence of French councils than before—probably from fear. Passage that has been demanded for two Russian ships of war through the canal of Constantinople has been refused. The Russian minister stated, that if the refusal was persisted in, the ships would force their way, in consequence of which the Porte has resolved to send a squadron into the Black sea.
Moretoncourts are in the contemplation of Napoleon for his relatives. His mother, it is now said, is to be appointed Queen of Rome, and her son, Lucien Buonaparte, to be nominated as her successor.
Count Keller, whose dispositions appeared so favourable to the maintenance of good understanding between Great Britain and Prussia has at length formally resigned his seat in the Cabinet of Berlin, and retired to his estates. Prussia, of course, submits entirely to be the humble instrument of Napoleon in every thing he may command.
It is impossible to ascertain the truth or falsehood of many rumours that are industriously circulated on the Continent. We perfectly agree with the concluding remark of our Hamburg correspondent in the subjoined letter—that they are circulated to prepare the public mind for changes that are in contemplation.
"HAMBURGH, June 24.—Though the navigation of the Elbe is so much more free than the former blockade, yet the altered situation of things on the Continent prevents the benefits that might accrue from it. The multiplying prohibitions of English goods, to which the French compel the powers on the Continent, always equally against their inclination and interest, have just put a check upon our commerce that nothing can complete. The consequence is, that the poor are in great want of work, and robberies increase in a most alarming degree. A very dangerous band has been lately discovered, and many of the robbers arrested. We have had no very great bankruptcies, but one of a wholesale linen merchant is much talked of—he always had, till now, a good character, but he has now become a bankrupt for about 60,000. sterling; and it has been discovered, that having borrowed large sums, and given ware rooms filled with linen for security, he has broken into them, taken out the linen, exchanged the fine for coarse, &c. In this way he has actually pledged the same linen to three different persons."
"Politics still present the same uncertain prospect. A friend of mine, who returned this week from St. Petersburg, by way of Pomerania, assures me that the reason of the inactivity of Prussia is, that the king of Sweden has signified in a letter to the king, that, in case of an invasion of Pomerania, he shall not attempt to defend it, but that he will immediately send out his whole galley fleet, (scheeren flote as they call it) and destroy totally all the Prussian ports; a threat which it would be too easy for him to execute. My friend adds, that the emperor Alexander has absolutely refused Prussia to take any part in the dispute. The king of Sweden, he says, is so highly respected at Petersburg, that any thing done against him would be highly unpopular there."
"For some days various reports have been spread, concerning the changes which it is pretended are resolved on in the German constitution. They agree in one particular, except that the emperor of Germany shall renounce that title. Some say the Prussians are to leave Hanover, which the French are to re-occupy; that the Hanse towns are to be placed under the protection of France; that Prussia is to lose also Silesia, and other similar changes, as of an exchange of Hanover for Mecklenburg, &c. You may however, rest assured, that there is no kind of authority, as far as is known here, for any one of these reports; most of them rest upon private letters, said to have been received from Ratisbon, tho' even this is doubtful. They have partly died away since Sunday, and if they have any ground at all, they have probably been industriously circulated by the agents of France to prepare the public mind."
"Another private letter of the same date says, 'The reform in the empire, or the new constitution of Germany, will be presented to the diet of Ratisbon, on the 27th inst. We may expect a sight of the chef d'œuvre here by the 3d or 4th July.'"
"French and Dutch journals, to the 22d & 26th ult. have come to hand. They contain no intelligence of marked importance. The Montonegrians (or inhabitants of Albania,) excited and encouraged by the Russians, no doubt have begun to harass the French troops who took possession of Ragusa. Their efforts, as might have been expected, were unsuccessful;—but the attack made by them must have been bold and persevering, as they left upwards of three hundred killed and wounded on the field. Much about the same time, some Russian frigates are said to have been repulsed in an attack upon one of the islands on the coast of Dalmatia. The French do not appear to be so perfectly at their ease in the kingdom of Naples, as the exaggerated proclamations from that capital would induce us to suppose. They are obliged to be on the alert on every part of the coast. Some of our ships of war are not only almost continually in view, but they sometimes bring their cannon to bear on some of the maritime towns which are in possession of the French."
"Government yesterday received dispatches from several parts of the continent, which, it was stated were of a very favourable description, not whether as indicative of a disposition of the foreign powers to resist the further encroachment of France, or to the latter to negotiate on a liberal plan, we have not been able to learn. Looking either way, we see nothing but difficulties in the prospective."
"The following unpleasant information has been communicated to a mercantile house in Leeds by their correspondent at Naples, under date of the 16th ult."
"I have now to acquaint you, that a number of merchants here, have been obliged, by order of our government, to present their books, which have been examined, and a great number of others have been notified to give in a note in the space of 41 hours to the minister of the Finances, of all the money, effects &c. belonging to the present enemies of the French empire, under penalty of an arbitrary punishment, and ten times the value of the effects not given up."
"The unsettled state of the German empire gives rise to numerous reports of projected changes in that part of the continent. The elector of Baden is, it is said to resign his authority into the hands of his son, who, it may be recollected was lately married to the niece of madame Buonaparte. The reports respecting these changes receive something like official contradiction in an article dated from Ratisbon. To this, however, little attention is to be paid, as we learn by letters from Hamburg, that it had been inserted in the Correspondent by command of the French minister at Hamburg."
"It was yesterday said in the city, that general Miranda had drawn bills to a considerable amount on the treasury, which had been presented for acceptance."
"Letters from Plymouth state, that admiral Sterling, who with six sail of the line, had been sent in quest of Jerome Buonaparte, has returned under an opinion that he must be on his way back, as from certain information from the Isles of France and Bourbon, it was evident that he could not procure supplies there. Admiral Stirling was off Belle-Isle, on the 20th ult."

Mr. Fox had a good night on Sunday, and was yesterday much better. Mr. Erskine, son of the lord chancellor, is going ambassador to the American states.
LIVERPOOL, July 3. Saturday's Gazette contained an order in council for liberating all Papenburgh vessels detained previous to the 14th of May.
The naval returns up to this day, state the number of ships in commission to be of the line 122, frigates 15, frigates 165, sloops, &c. 181; gun brigs &c. 247, making a total of 730 vessels. The ordinary comprises 24 ships of the line; 18 repairing for service, and 24 building.
The French general Boyer set off on Wednesday, on his return to France. It is understood that he is to be exchanged for one of the gentlemen who have been detained since the beginning of the war.
We understand that a presentment has been made to the grand jury at Westminster, of a publick defaulter who is charged in the deficiency of £20,000. Wednesday, a foreigner of distinction was charged in execution, in the Exchequer, for £20,000.
Parliament is expected to be prorogued about the 27th of next month. A dissolution for which the ministers are reported to be actively preparing, is expected to take place in September.
SCHIEDAM, June 20. Arrival of our King.
On Wednesday last, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, his majesty Louis Napoleon, king of Holland, his royal consort, children and retinue, arrived from Breda at the Ferry of Cattendrecht, opposite Rotterdam, where they were received and presented with refreshments by his excellency vice-admiral Verheul, minister of the marine, conducted by a deputation from the council, by the Mayor and Schepens of that city. On the signal being given by the yachts, of the marine stationed there, the guns on the bulwark were fired, the flags hoisted on the great church and other publick buildings, on the mills, and by all the vessels in the several havens. Their majesties and family crossed the Meuse in a yacht of the marine, and, on approaching the shore, were saluted by the repeated acclamations of the spectators. Being arrived within the jurisdiction of Rotterdam, their majesties were welcomed by the city deputation, and his majesty presented in an appropriate speech, with the key of the city, but which his majesty graciously left in the hands of the president. The Reverend Thomas Van Beekom, Roman Catholick priest of Schiedam, at the head of the priests of the same religion at Rotterdam, also congratulated his majesty on his accession and arrival.
About 9 o'clock the same evening, the royal party arrived at the Hague, where their majesties were received by a deputation of the magistrates of that place. On presenting his majesty with the wine, called the wine of honour, used on such occasions, the mayor made an appropriate speech; and on receiving the wine, his majesty expressed his sense of the reception given him. Accompanied by the deputation, the train now set forward to the palace in the wood—where their majesties were received by a commission from their high mightinesses, another from the council of state, the general secretary of state, and other ministers, the French ambassador, and the general in chief Michaud, and other generals and superior officers.
Through the whole of the wood along which their majesties had to pass, beautifully illuminated arches were erected.
HAGUE, June 20. Speech to the King.
At an audience given yesterday to their high mightinesses by his majesty, every solemnity of ceremonial was observed. The speech delivered by Mr. De Vos Van Steenwyk Tot Den Hogenhof on the occasion, was of the following purport:
"Sire,—The assembly of their high mightinesses, in whose name I have at present the honour to speak, is come in a body to offer their obedience to your majesty, and to felicitate you upon your accession to the throne of Holland. In acquitting themselves of so solemn a duty, they intreat you, Sire, to receive favourably the sentiments of a deserving and every way respectable nation."
"The concurrence of events and circumstances which have overthrown the political system of Europe has at length involved our country. After sustaining a multitude of shocks, the nation looks for a term to its long agitations, and ventures to hope, that the sceptre confided to your majesty's foresight and wisdom, will restore its happiness and quiet."
"Peace, Sire, is the greatest of Europe's wants: it is especially so of Holland. May the powerful genius of Napoleon the Great give to us, one day, this invaluable blessing!"
"Sire, a nation celebrated for its temperance, delights to contemplate in you the model of all the virtues, and gives itself up to the consoling hope, that the paternal care of your majesty for its true interest, will, under the sacred guidance of Providence, invigorate its industry and its commerce, and renovate its ancient glory and splendour. Thus will the present generation and their posterity hail your majesty as the regenerator of the publick prosperity."
Speech to the Queen.
After the audience of his Majesty, their High Mightinesses were presented to her Majesty the Queen. The President addressed her majesty as follows:
"MADAM, "With the confidence inspired by the grace and affability of your majesty, the assembly of their high mightinesses eagerly intreat to present to you their homage and respect."
"Permit us, Madam, to join your majesty in the vows and congratulations we have just borne to his majesty the king."
"May the general welfare which will be the constant object of the care of his majesty, your august spouse, long prove his happiness and the happiness of your majesty, and of all the Royal Family."
Both these speeches were received in the most gracious manner by their majesties. The administration of the department of Holland, the deputies of several other local administrations of the kingdom and the staff officers of the navy, had also formal audiences of his majesty.
Speech of the King.
The following is a copy of the speech delivered by his majesty to their High Mightinesses:—
"GENTLEMEN, "When the national deputies came to offer me the throne which I ascend this day. I accepted it under the conviction that it was the wish of the whole nation—that the confidence and the necessities of all call me to it."
"Relying on the intelligence, zeal, and patriotism of the principal functionaries, and particularly yours, Gentlemen the deputies, I have fearlessly weighed in my mind the misfortunes of the nation in their fullest extent. Animated by the strongest desire to promote the welfare of this good people, and entertaining a hope that I should one day attain that end, I stilled those sentiments, which till then had been ever the object and happiness of my life. I have consented to change my country to cease to be solely a Frenchman after having passed my whole life in performing, to the best of my ability, the duties which that name prescribes to all who have the honour of bearing it."
"I have consented to all this—and, Gentlemen, had
I not done so, I would nevertheless as yet act the same part; now that by the ardour, joy, and confidence of the people through whose country I have passed, they have proved to me that you were the true interpreters of the nation, now especially, when I am convinced that I may rely on your zeal your attachment to the interest of your native land, and on your confidence in, and fidelity towards me."
"Gentlemen, this is the first day of the real independence of the United Provinces. A transient glance at passages of history is sufficient to convince us that they never had a stable government, a fixed destiny, a real independence. Under the famous people, whom they fought and served by turns, as under the Franks and the Empire of the West, they were neither free nor tranquil."
"Neither were they so afterwards, when subjected to Spain."
"Their wars and their repeated quarrels until the union, added to the glory of the nation, confirmed its qualities in point of frankness, intrepidity and honour for which, indeed, it had been always celebrated: but its efforts procured it neither tranquillity nor independence even under the Princes of Orange who, though they were useful to their country, as soldiers and statesmen, were always disturbing it, by pretending or endeavouring to obtain a power which the nation denied them."
"Nor could Holland be considered in that state in latter times, when the elevation of ideas and the general agitation of Europe so long suspended the repose of nations."
"After so many vicissitudes, so much agitation so many calamities, and at a time when the great states were enlarging themselves, a meliorating and concentrating their governments and their forces this country could enjoy no real safety nor independence but in a moderate monarchical state; a form which had been acknowledged during a long period, and by each nation in its turn, as the most perfect, and if not absolutely so, yet as much so as the nature of man will admit. But, doubtless, if perfection were the lot of humanity, we might then dispense with a government of this kind laws would then be founded in wisdom, and obeyed without reluctance or obstacle; virtue would reign triumphant and ensure its own reward; vice would be banished and wickedness rendered impotent; but illusions which favour such romantic ideas of human nature are transient; and experience soon brings us back to positive facts."
"However, even monarchy is not sufficient for a country which, though powerful and important, is not sufficient so for its position, which requires forces of the first rank both by land and sea. It will therefore, be necessary for it to form a connection with one of the great powers of Europe, with which its amity may be eternally assured without any alteration of its independence."
"This, gentlemen, is what your nation has done; this is the object of its constitutional laws; and also that of my taking upon me an employment so glorious: this is my object, in placing myself to the minds of a people who are and ever shall be mine, by my affection and solicitude. With pride I perceive two of the principal means of government and confidence offering themselves to me; the honour and the virtue of the inhabitants."
"Yes gentlemen, these shall be the real supporters of the throne. I wish for no other guides. For my part, I know no distinction of religion or party. Distinctions can only arise from merit and services. My design is only to remedy the evils which the country has suffered. The duration of these evils and the difficulty in remedying them, will only increase and realise my glory."
To effect these objects, I have occasion for the entire confidence of the nation, their complete devotion and all the talents of the distinguished men whom it contains, but particularly of you, gentlemen, whose zeal, talents and patriotism are well known.
"I am at this moment appealing to the good and faithful Hollanders, before the deputies of the provinces and principal cities of the kingdom. I see them around me with pleasure. Let them bear to their fellow citizens the assurance of my solicitude and affection; let them carry the same testimony of these sentiments to Amsterdam, that city which is the honour of commerce and of the country; that city which I wish to call my good and faithful capital, though the Hague will always remain the residence of the sovereign. Let them also carry the same assurances to their fellow citizens and the deputies of that neighbouring city, the prosperity of which I hope very soon to renew, and whose inhabitants I distinguish."
"It is by these sentiments, gentlemen; it is by the union of all orders of people in the state, and by that of my subjects among themselves; it is by the devotion of each individual to his duties, the only basis of real honour assigned to men; but principally by the unanimity which has hitherto preserved these provinces from all dangers and calamities, and which has ever been their shield, that I expect the tranquillity, safety, and glory of the nation, and the happiness of my 'e'."
HANAU, June 17.
A report is circulated to day, by no means astonishing, considering the times we live in, as it also agrees with preceding events—that the elector of Baden is about to abdicate his government, and that the electoral prince, who is expected from Paris in the month of July, will succeed him, and will reside at Manheim. A counsellor of state, who came to Carlsruhe at the latter end of May, has, it is said, already made some preparations on the subject. A short time after, prince Louis, of Baden, son of the elector, was dismissed from all his employments. Great changes were made in the ministry, when the most distinguished persons were pensioned.
It is said again, that the pope will resign the chair of St. Peter to a cardinal, and the states of the holy see will be added to the kingdom of Italy. The French empire will then take a new title, and a considerable number of new dukes will be created. It is also added, that great alterations will take place in Switzerland, in favour of the duke of Neufchatel.
VIENNA, June 11.
The trial of marquis Ghislieri for surrendering the Cataro to the Russians, contrary to his instructions, closed on the 1st inst. He has been sentenced to the loss of his rank & to exile. It is however expected, that this sentence will be mitigated in a higher quarter.
JUNE 14.
A declaration has been forwarded to Ratisbon by the head of the empire, in consequence of the notification made by the arch-chancellor of his having elected cardinal Fesch as his successor.
Prince Ferdinand of Wirtemberg, commander in chief in Lower Austria, is shortly expected here, on his return from Paris.
The exchange of couriers between this city and Paris, is still very brisk. The French ambassador, M. Rochefoucauld, has also had several conferences with count Stadion, minister for foreign affairs.
POMERANIA, June 11.
The negotiations between the Prussian and Swedish courts are carried on with intermission. The general of cavalry, count Kalkreuth, is to proceed to Stralsund, with a view to forward them.
MUNICH, June 11.
The French troops are expected to evacuate these states in the course of 4 or 5 weeks. The 16th of
June is now mentioned as the day on which Brannau is to be delivered up to the Austrians.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 8.
Mr. Arbuthnot, the English ambassador has had a fresh conference with the Reis Effendi, at which he emphatically declared, that if the Porte did not, within a few days, come to a determination to renew its treaties with England, an English squadron would certainly make its appearance in the Levant, as any farther refusal must be considered as a rupture between the two powers. To this declaration no other answer has been given on the part of the Porte, than that it is resolved to maintain the neutrality which it has hitherto observed.

Ten Dollars Reward, Is offered for a Maltese Boy, about 15 years old, bound to serve the subscriber seven years—This boy while in Richmond last May, with one Albert, a baker, was taken off, (as informed) by a master of a craft from Rocketts, to Norfolk, where he has been since seen often; and first, on board of a schooner called (as I am informed) the Amelia Ann, of Norfolk, William B. Baily, commander.—This Boy is so remarkable in person, that the slightest examination must discover him; he is very low and thick, has a remarkable large flat head, and still more remarkable feet, short and round, which occasions him to walk warbling and with apparent difficulty and exertion to get on at all; his complexion very fair, his mouth so contracted, that he cannot open it more than half its natural extent, and on his forehead and chin a very deep scar, which he says marks the accident which induced him to be sold; he speaks tolerable plain English—He was found in Malta, in 1804, by name of John Lapa, and since on board ship, he got the name of Andrew, which he always passes by. The above reward will be given on delivering the said boy to Mr. Theo. or Mr. Thomas Armistead, Norfolk, and an addition of Five Dollars more, if delivered in Richmond at the Swan Tavern, to Major John Moss, or to the subscriber, Ryland Randolph.
