THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIME, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. 24, 1806.
THE EDITOR of this paper does not mean to comment on the remarks in the last HERALD, they speak for themselves, and according to the practice of the persons who write for that paper, personal abuse is substituted for wit and argument.
The only motive which the Editor has in taking any notice of the publication, is to remove impressions which the author has endeavoured to make. It is more than insinuated that the Editor of this paper has advocated the trade to St. Domingo. He does deny, and defies malice itself, to prove that he ever wrote one word in favour of that Trade, but that on the contrary, whenever he has noticed the subject he has both privately and publickly repro- bated the intercourse with that colony.
There is certainly an evident distinction, between the policy of the trade, and the right. Our govern- ment by its acts, has conceived the trade to be lawful. The French minister says he will not discuss the right, but that we must not continue the intercourse. Our government is told that it must not shut its eyes upon what has been previously pronounced to be base, ignoble, scandalous, robbery, &c.
Another French agent, has issued a decree, in which he orders his vessels to interrupt the com- merce of every American, because some citizens have forced a trade to St. Domingo. It is these acts that have been censured in this paper; and while the PUBLICK LEDGER, is under its present direction, it will not be silent when the rights, the honour, and the dignity of our government are attacked.
It appears that a Bill has been brought into the Se- nate by Dr. LOGAN, and twice read, to interdict the commerce to St. Domingo. The bill has been referred to a select committee; of its ultimate fate, there is no forming any correct idea, from the pre- sent state. Whatever may be the final determina- tion, it cannot be otherwise, than disagreeable.
If the intercourse is not stopped, we must expect that France will proceed to extremities. If the in- tercourse is stopped, then it must be allowed that we have pursued a commerce which was not legal. No credit will be allowed to our sense of justice, we cannot plead (as General Smith said) that the trade was not offensive to France, because the documents submitted to the Senate prove the reverse. There is something mysterious in this business, which we cannot discover; the discussions in the Senate will we expect, afford the light which we at present want.
To the attention of our correspondent at Washing- ton, we are indebted for the PRESIDENT'S MES- SAGE, respecting HAMET THE EX-BASHAW, with documents accompanying. They are very lengthy, containing fifty-two pages octavo, we have, however, undertaken their publication, and are persuaded that our readers will be gratified by the perusal of them, in which event our labours will find the only reward we seek.
Our mail papers do not furnish any foreign intel- ligence of importance—the papers by the CATO from London, to the 25th November, do not furnish continental information so late as that received by the HIGHLAND MARY.
It is stated in the New-York papers that a Mr. PARIS had arrived with dispatches from Mr. MUN- ROE—that an explanation, satisfactory to our min- ister had been made by the British government.
The Washington papers make no mention of any dispatches.
From an official letter of admiral Collingwood, it appears, that from returns made from ten ships, the following is a state of the killed and wounded:—
   Killed. Wounded.     Royal Sovereign, 47   Dreadnought, 7   Mars, 29 64   Bellerophon, 27 125   Minotaur, 3 22   Revenge, 28 51   Ajax, 2 2   Defence, 7 29   Defiance, 17 53   Leviathan, 4 22   Total, 171 466  
Returns from the other ships had not been made. If they are in the same proportion, the loss will be about 1600 killed and wounded, and proves that the combined fleet contended with great gallantry.
ARISTIPPUS is received—we would say to him, "de mortuis nil nisi bonum."
The circumstance which he mentions, we have heard much questioned—at all events, we consider it as unreasonable at the present moment, to insert his notice of the illustrious character which is the subject of it.
COMMUNICATED FOR THE LEDGER.
At a valedictory party of a number of young gen- tlemen school-fellows, the following toasts were drank. The first, it will be observed, bears allusion to the final separation which was about to take place; and the rest are drawn chiefly from scholas- tick topics. CULPEPPER.
 1.—THE FOUR CARDINAL POINTS.—May eve- ry quarter open to our scattered steps, the paths of wisdom, wealth, and glory.  2.—THE SEVEN SCIENCES.—May they never cease to illuminate our land while the seven stars continue to rise and set.  3.—I. GRAMMAR.—Success to concord and good government. An active man always in the impera- tive.  4.—II.—LOGICK.—Wealthy firemisses to the in- dustrious. 
5.—III.—RHETORICK.—In these times 'twere well to try the sublime of the cannon. Above all, the ironi- cal matter should not be omitted, for that never fails touching the feelings of the insolent.
6.—IV.—ARITHMETICK.—Avoid internal divisi- ons. They are the root of evils without number, and eventually reduce a nation to the most vulgar fracti- ons. On the contrary line in the alligations of fel- lowship and unity, and every day will add sum-proof of your having calculated wisely.
7.—V.—GEOMETRY.—May our rulers always sur- vey well the ground on which they stand: May the pecunie never be encompassed by the plots of chain- carriers, and may a chord of sixty, be the protract- or of the traitor's neck.
8.—VI.—May no revolution eclipse the sun of Li- berty; but may its disk be without spot, and its beams encircle both hemispheres at once.
9.—VII.—MUSICK.—May the whole tenor of our lives move counter to what is base.
10.—GEOGRAPHY.—Let our laws be bounded by the equator of justice, and let no latitude be given to him who crosses the line.
11.—CHEMISTRY.—The refinement of Athens— the mettle of Sparta and the Regulus of Rome.
12.—MECHANICKS.—Perpetual motion to the wheels of the Federal constitution. May execration never leave the politician who is a lever of its princi- ples.
13.—THE LANGUAGES.—May the living not be too much given to the grave, and may the dead ne- ver be forgotten.
14.—THE COLLEGES OF THE UNITED STATES.—May they conspire to demolish the whole apparatus of tyranny and priesthood.
15.—Newton, Rittenhouse, Herschel, and the o- ther fathers of the true philosophy.
16.—GENERAL WASHINGTON.—Instant dumb- ness seize the tongue that dares to calumniate him.
17.—THE FAIR.—May the deserving youth al- ways, and the deserving only, lead the hand of love to the altar.

The late extraordinary proceedings of the British against our commerce have for their object, (it is pretended) to hinder us from supplying his majesty's enemies; however, it appears, if credit can be given to several letters received in this city, that that government makes no objection to its own subjects holding correspondence with some of the belligerents. These letters state that the house of Sir Francis Bar- ring & Co. and two other houses in London, have contracted to supply the Spanish government with twelve millions of dollars, and to take the govern- ment drafts on South America.
It is supposed, that by this business, those merch- ants will gain from seven to eight millions of dollars, as the profit on the exchange from Madrid on Lon- don has been as high as 20 per cent. and no doubt a discount is allowed on the bills of twenty-five or thirty per cent; as these were the discounts which were al- lowed generally last war to those who purchased go- vernment bills on the Havanna, and as far as one- third has been allowed for bills on Vera Cruz.

MASONIC BANQUET—TO GEN. MOREAU.
On Saturday the 28th of December last, the mem- bers of the French Lodge Amenity No. 73, gave a banquet to their illustrious brother Gen. Moreau, at the long room Shakespeare Hotel, corner of Ches- nut and Sixth-streets. The room was decorated with an allegorical painting, 8 feet by 6, made on the oc- casion, and executed by an eminent artist of this ci- ty. The following is a description of the painting— trophies of war on each side of a medallion of oak leaves, surrounded by white ribbons, on which are written the principal towns besieged and carried by the hero—viz. Biberach, Hunningen, Kell, Newbourg, Neresheim, Etlingen, Renchen, Engen, Nordlingen, Delleisengen, Hochstett, Erbach, Feldkirch and Ho- hinlinden. In the center of the medallion is repre- sented the river Rhine, and at some distance the siege of a German town on the opposite bank. The gene- ral is seen on horseback, followed by two of his aids. The medallion is surmounted by a crown of laurel and two trumpets, emblems of fame; on the plinth, masonic insignia.
In the center of the table, was a dome, supported by six columns, under which was placed a white marble base, bearing a white pyramid, on each face of which were the following inscriptions:
   A Vic: Moreau, Transla- tion. { To Vic: Moreau,   Guerrier Citoyen, { Warrior Citizen,   A ses Vertus, { To his Virtues,   A ses Triumpha, { To his Triumphs.  
The greatest hilarity reigned through the whole of the banquet, which was interspersed by several songs made on the occasion, and a number of others mostly martial. The general appeared to be perfectly at home among his countrymen and brethren whom he did not leave till near midnight. His appearance, his deportment and his conversation, all tended to confirm the reputation of his great talents and vir- tues, and have made a lasting impression on those who were present.
The toasts on the occasion were but few, each of them was accompanied by an appropriate stanza, sung by the master of the lodge. The land we live in, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, Our native Coun- try, Its Warriors, The fair sex, and all the Ma- sons on the surface of the globe. The brethren re- tired at midnight in the greatest order and quiet.

REMARKS
From a London paper of the 11th Nov.
In a situation of affairs so difficult, at a crisis so tremendous, the "Opposition" remains true to the character which Mr. Wilberforce gave of them "that if they did not wish the total overthrow and ruin of the country, they wished for just so much public calamity and distress as would serve to get Mr. Pitt out and themselves in." All the misfor- tunes of the Austrian arms are imputed to Mr. Pitt—he is the only person to blame for the imbecility and supineness of Gen. Mack—and the minister of G. Britain is alone responsible for those movements and operations which have been attended with such
disastrous effects! But in the name of common sense did any one suppose in any coalition with Aus- tria we were to have the choice of the generals who were to command her armies? Was any one stupid enough to imagine that Mr. Pitt was to be required to point out the general that would be most agreeable to him! That he was to draw out the plan of the campaigns, to trace the march, and to point out the positions which the Austrian troops were to oc- cupy.
Not a fortnight ago, when affairs were a more cheering aspect, and the opposition thought that suc- cess might attend the Austrian arms, they were amazingly anxious to convince the country, that Mr. Pitt, having had no hand in the formation of the coa- lition could have no right to any of the participation of the glory it might acquire. But no sooner has dis- aster attended the arms of the allies, than Mr. Pitt is welcome to all the blame and censure which an ill contrived plan of operations may deserve. He is blamed, too, for not having made any diversion in support of Austria. But had he or any man reason to suppose that gen. Mack would act as he has done, or that he would prefer entering upon the war before the arrival of the Russians? Had he waited for them, had he fallen back upon the Inn, or never advanced beyond it, the expedition which is now ready for sail- ing, would have reached its destination, by the time the combined Austrians and Russians were ready to commence operations upon the frontiers of Bavaria. Had gen. Mack fallen back to wait for the Russians, he would have produced another good effect, and have given time for Prussia to have interposed. But even here the opposition, who would not allow Mr. Pitt the slightest credit for having indisposed Prussia towards France, will be ready we perceive, to im- pute to him all the blame should Buonaparte regain his influence over the Prussian cabinet, which they seem to think he will easily have it in his power to do by negotiation or by the success of the war.
VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF FINANCE.
The committee of Finance have had the various subjects to them referred, under their consideration, and beg leave to submit thereupon, the following re- port to the house:
Estimate of the expenses of the government from the first of October, 1805, to the thirtieth of Sep- tember, 1806, including debts payable during that period:
   D. C.     Expenses of General Assembly 46,000   Officers of civil government 64,000   Officers of militia 3,400   Criminal prosecutions 25,000   Expense of guards 10,000   Slaves executed 3,000   Slaves transported 2,000   Lunatick hospital 6,500   Richmond guard 15,000   Building of manufactory of arms, in- cluding the expenses of completing the foundry 14,000   Expense of manufacturing arms, in- cluding officer's salaries 40,000   For the completion of James river ca- nal warehouse 750   For the completion of the penitentiary building 1,577   Expense of removing criminals to the penitentiary, and their confinement therein, including the salaries of the officers 7,500   Publick services of district court clerks 1,700   Interest on publick debt registered 6,000   Ditto on the debt due persons who paid money into the treasury on account of British debts 21,000   Prisoners 5,500   Expense of representation to Congress, and the Senate of the state 300   An instalment on the shares of the state in the bank of Virginia 30,000   Commissioners of the revenue 13,500   Contingent expenses of government 11,000   Upper Appomattox canal company 625   To pay the debt due James Prudden 905   To pay the debt due John A. Chevallie 1,994   To refund money to Th. Millan 65   To pay those persons who have killed wolves in various counties, agreeably to their warrants 400   331,716  
The committee report the following estimate of the Revenue of the commonwealth, to meet the fore- going expenditures.
   Nett amount of tax on land, lots and other property, which tax was paya- ble into the treasury 1st Oct. 1805, 297,505 61   Ditto of surplus on tobacco exported, 21,269 96   Ditto tax on law process, 14,251 37   Ditto register's fees, 1,953 76   316,970 70  
The sum of dolls. 316,970 70 cts. con- stitutes the nett revenue of a year, which should have been paid into the treasury on the 1st Oct. 1805, and would have formed the resources of the government to meet their expen- ditures from the 1st Oct. to the 30th Sept. 1806. Of this sum of dollars 316,970 cts. 51,839 62 cts. were paid out previously to the 1st Oct. 1805, in discharge of warrants against the treasury, drawn also, prior to that period; & as the sum of dolls. 51,839 62 cts. were expended before the year (for which we have prepared estimates) commenced, it cannot be calculated in the revenue for this year. Deduct therefore this sum
   51,839 62   The sum will then be 265,151 08   The whole amount of arrearages, in- cluding those of 1803, amount to the sum of 178,690 dolls. 98 cts.

The committee have not estimated the arrearages of the taxes in 1804, calculating on an equal defici- ency in 1805, would meet the deficiency in the pay- ments on account of the taxes of the latter year.— The committee have not taken a separate view of the money on hand the 1st Oct. 1805, that money being only such portion of the 316,790 dolls. 70 cts. as was in the treasury on the 1st Oct. 1805; & there-
fore, in this sum of 316,970 dolls. 70 cts. it is cal- culated.
The committee, agreeably to these estimates which they believe to be correct, make the expenditures of the government greater than the resources, by the sum of 41,584 dollars 92 cents.
To obviate in some degree the inconvenience which results from the want of money in the treasury dur- ing the summer months, your committee beg leave to recommend to the house to make the taxes on lots, coaches, stages, chairs and merchants in the towns of Richmond, Petersburg, Norfolk, Fredericksburg, Lynchburg, Winchester, Dumfries, Firecastle, Wil- liamsburg, Portsmouth, Falmouth, Suffolk, Smith- field, Staunton and Manchester, and the common law process, hereafter payable into the treasury on the first day of June in every year. The greater part of these taxes is collected in May, and serve until October only as funds for speculation in the hands of the officers of the state who hold them.— The committee further recommend to the house to take off the additional two and a half per cent. al- lowed sheriffs for collecting taxes on lots in the towns mentioned above. They also recommend, that the law for collecting taxes should be so framed as to com- pel serjeants of corporations to give security for the collection and payment of such taxes as they are au- thorised to collect, and that they and their securities in case of failure, be liable to the same process with sheriffs in similar cases.
The committee cannot, consistently with their du- ty, conclude this report without suggesting to the house the necessity of preparing some resources to meet the excess of expenditure. Whether the Legis- lature will increase the taxes generally within this commonwealth, or search out new objects of taxation, such as toll bridges, mills, wharves and race-fields, the committee are unable to decide; one or the other of those measures they however beg leave to recom- mend.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TAKEN FOR THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
THURSDAY, January 16.
NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT.
Mr. J. Randolph from the committee of ways and means, made a report by bill, entitled
"An act for making an application to supply the deficiency in the appropriations for the year 1805." Referred to a committee of the whole for to-mor- row.
Mr. Randolph then observed that there were seve- ral documents accompanying this bill, which he mov- ed should accompany it before the committee.
These documents were read. They consisted of letters from the secretary of the navy, setting forth the nature and amount of these deficiencies. They were contained in four vouchers, and from them it appears, they were principally on account of the war with Tripoli, and the protection of our com- merce. On the first the expense was 87,750 dollars, and the other

MESSAGE
From the President of the United States, respecting the application of HAMET CARAMALLI, Ex-Bashaw of Tripoli. January 13, 1806. Referred to Messrs. Joseph Clay, John C. Smith, Jacob Crowninshield, Roger Nelson, Garnett, Fisk, and Dixon
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
I lay before congress the application of Hamet Caramalli, elder brother of the reigning bashaw of Tripoli, soliciting from the United States, attention to his services and sufferings in the late war against that state; and in order to possess them of the ground on which that application stands, the facts shall be stated according to the views and information of the executive.
During the war with Tripoli, it was suggested that Hamet Caramalli, elder brother of the reigning bashaw, and driven by him from his throne, meditated the recovery of his inheritance, and that a concert in action with us was desirable to him. We considered that concerted operations by those who have a common enemy were entirely justifiable, and might produce effects favourable to both, without binding either to guarantee the objects of the other. But the distance of the scene, the difficulties of communication, and the uncertainty of our information, inducing the less confidence in the measure, it was committed to our agents as one which might be resorted to if it promised to promote our success.
Mr. Eaton, however, our late consul, on his return from the Mediterranean, possessing personal knowledge of the scene, and having confidence in the effect of a joint operation, we authorized commadore Barron, then proceeding with his squadron, to enter into an understanding with Hamet, if he should deem it useful: and as it was represented that he would need some aids of arms and ammunition, and even of money, he was authorized to furnish them to a moderate extent, according to the prospect of utility to be expected from it. In order to avail him of the advantages of Mr. Eaton's knowledge of circumstances, an occasional employment was provided for the latter as an agent for the navy in that sea. Our expectation was, that an intercourse should be kept up between the ex-bashaw and the commadore; that while the former moved on by land, our squadron should proceed with equal pace, so as to arrive at their destination together, and to attack the common enemy by land and sea at the same time. The instructions of June 6th, to commadore Barron, shewed that a co-operation only was intended, and by no means an union of our object with the fortune of the ex-bashaw; and the commadore's letters of March 22, and May 19, prove that he had the most correct idea of our intentions. His verbal instructions, indeed, to Mr. Eaton and captain Hull, if the expressions are accurately committed to writing by those gentlemen, do not limit the extent of his co-operation as rigorously as he intended; but it is certain from the ex-bashaw's letter of January 6, written when he was proceeding to join Mr. Eaton, and in which he says, "your operations should be carried on by sea, mine by land," that he left the position in which he was, with a proper idea of the nature of the co-operation. If Mr. Eaton's subsequent convention should appear to bring forward objects, his letter of April 29, and May 1, views this convention but as provisional, the 2d article, as he expressly states, guarding it against any ill effect, and his letter of June 30 confirms this construction. In the event it was found, that, after placing the ex-bashaw in possession of Derne, one of the most important cities and provinces of the country, where he had resided himself as governor, he was totally unable to command any resources, or to bear any part in co-operation with us. This hope was then at an end; and we certainly had never contemplated, nor were we prepared to land an army of our own, or to raise, pay or subsist an army of Arabs, to march from Derne to Tripoli, and to carry on a land war, at such a distance from our resources. Our means and our authority were merely naval; and that such were the expectations of Hamet, his letter of June 29 is an unequivocal acknowledgment. While, therefore, an impression from the capture of Derne might still operate at Tripoli, and an attack on that place from our squadron was daily expected, colonel Lear thought it the best moment to listen to overtures of peace then made by the bashaw. He did so, and while urging provisions for the United States, he paid attention also to the interests of Hamet; but was able to effect nothing more than to engage the restitution of his family, and even the preserving in this demand suspended for some time the conclusion of the treaty.
In operations at such a distance it becomes necessary to leave much to the discretion of the agents employed; but events may still turn up beyond the limits of that discretion. Unable in such a case to consult his government, a zealous citizen will act as he believes that it would direct him were it apprized of the circumstances, and will take on himself the responsibility. In all these cases, the purity and patriotism of the motives should shield the agent from blame, and even secure a sanction where the error is not too injurious. Should it be thought by any that
the verbal instructions said to have been given by commadore Barron to Mr. Eaton, amount to a stipulation that the U. States should place Hamet Caramalli on the throne of Tripoli; a stipulation so entirely unauthorized, so far beyond our views, and so onerous, could not be sanctioned by our government—or should Hamet Caramalli, contrary to the evidence of his letters of January 3, and June 29, be thought to have left the position which he now seems to regret, under a mistaken expectation that we were at all events to place him on his throne, on an appeal to the liberality of the nation, something equivalent to the replacing him in his former situation, might be worthy its consideration.
A nation by establishing a character of liberality and magnanimity, gains in the friendship and respect of others more than the worth of mere money. This appeal is now made by Hamet Caramalli to the U. States. The ground he has taken being different, not only from our views but from those expressed by himself, on former occasions, Mr. Eaton was desired to state whether any verbal communications passed from him to Hamet which had varied what we saw in writing. His answer of December 9th, is herewith transmitted, and has rendered it still more necessary, that in presenting to the legislature the application of Hamet, I should present them at the same time an exact statement of the views and proceedings of the executive, through this whole business, that they may clearly understand the ground on which we are placed. It is accompanied by all the papers which bear any relation to the principles of the co-operation, and which can inform their judgment in deciding on the application of Hamet Caramalli.
January 13, 1806.
Extract of a letter from the secretary of state to Mr. Cathcart, dated 22d Aug. 1802.
"According to information given by Mr. Eaton, he has prevailed on the brother of the bashaw of Tripoli to repair to Malta, with a view to be with our squadron before Tripoli, and to be made use of against the bashaw. At this distance, it is difficult to judge accurately of the project, or to give particular instructions for the management of it. Although it does not accord with the general sentiments, or views of the United States, to intermeddle with the domestic controversies of other countries, it cannot be unfair in the prosecution of a just war, or the accomplishment of a reasonable peace, to take advantage of the hostile co-operation of others. As far, therefore, as the views of the brother may contribute to our success, the aid of them may be used for the purpose. Should this aid be found inapplicable, or his own personal object unattainable, it will be due to the honour of the United States, and to the expectations he will have naturally formed, to treat his disappointment with much tenderness, and to restore him, as nearly as may be, to the situation from which he was drawn, or to make some other convenient arrangement, that may be more eligible to him. In case of a treaty of peace with the ruling bashaw of Tripoli, perhaps it may be possible to make some stipulation, formal, or informal, in favour of the brother, which may be a desirable alleviation of his misfortune."
To all who shall see these presents—GREETING: Know ye, that reposing special trust and confidence in the zeal, fidelity, and abilities of William Eaton, I do hereby appoint him agent of the navy department of the United States of America, for the several Barbary regencies.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name, and affixed the seal of the navy department of the United States of America, at the city of Washington, this 26th day of May, 1804.
(Signed) R. SMITH. Secretary of the Navy. Registered, CH. W. GOLDSBOROUGH, Chief Clerk Navy Department.
Copy of a letter from the secretary of the navy to William Eaton, Esq. dated May 30th, 1804.
SIR, Herewith you will receive an appointment as navy agent for the several Barbary regencies.
You will receive instructions from, and obey the orders of commadore Barron; and will render to our squadron in the Mediterranean every assistance in your power.
As a compensation for your services, you will be allowed at the rate of twelve hundred dollars per annum, and the rations of a lieutenant in the navy of the United States. I am respectfully, &c. (Signed) R. SMITH.
Extract of a letter from the secretary of the navy to commadore Samuel Barron, dated June 6th 1804.
"With respect to the ex-bashaw of Tripoli, we have no objection to your availing yourself of his co-operation with you against Tripoli, if you shall, upon a full view of the subject, after your arrival upon the station, consider his co-operation expedient. The subject is committed entirely to your discretion. In such an event you will, it is believed, find Mr. Eaton extremely useful to you."
"Colonel Tobias Lear, our consul general at Algiers, is invested by the President with full power and authority to negotiate a treaty of peace with the bashaw of Tripoli, and also to adjust such terms of conciliation as may be found necessary with any of the other Barbary powers. He is, therefore, to be conveyed by you to any of these regencies, as he may request of you, and you will cordially co-operate with him in all such measures as may be deemed the best calculated to effectuate a termination of the war with Tripoli, and to insure a continuance of the friendship and respect of the other Barbary powers."
Commodore Barron to Captain Hull. September 13th, 1804.
SIR, The safe and condition of the Argus, under your command, requiring that she should go into port, for the purpose of refitting, &c. I request you to proceed with all practicable expedition to Malta, or Syracuse, and there refit your vessel, which being completed, you will take on board two months provisions and water, and proceed for the port of Alexandria, and if at that port or Smyrna you find any American vessels, you will give them convoy as far as Malta, and immediately after join the squadron off this place.
You will take under your care the ship St. Michael, intercepted by the squadron, in the attempt to enter the blockaded port of Tripoli. You will find commadore Preble at Malta or Syracuse, with two other ships, captured in making the same attempt. You will receive his orders with respect to the disposal of the St. Michael, cause all her papers to be delivered to him, and furnish him with all the information you may be able to gain from her crew, &c. on your passage. You will inform the commanders of vessels you may find at Syracuse, that I shall be off Tripoli."
Verbal orders of commadore Barron to captain Hull, of the United States brig Argus, in presence of the undersigned, on board the President. September 15, 1804.
SIR, The written orders I here hand you, to proceed to the port of Alexandria or Smyrna, for con-
veying to Malta any vessels you may find there, are intended to disguise the real object of your expedition, which is to proceed with Mr. Eaton to Alexandria, in search of Hamet Bashaw, the rival brother and legitimate sovereign of the reigning bashaw of Tripoli; and to convey him and his suite to Derne, or such other place on the coast as may be determined the most proper for co-operating with the naval force under my command, against the common enemy; or, if more agreeable to him, to bring him to me before Tripoli.
Should Hamet Bashaw not be found at Alexandria, you have the discretion to proceed to any other place for him, where the safety of your ship can be, in your opinion, relied upon.
The Bashaw may be assured of the support of my squadron at Bengazi or Derne, where you are at liberty to put in, if required, and if it can be done without too great risk. And you may assure him also, that I will take the most effectual measures with the forces under my command, for co-operating with him against the usurper, his brother, and for re-establishing him in the regency of Tripoli. Arrangements to this effect are confided to the discretion with which Mr. Eaton is vested by the government."
Attest, ISAAC HULL. WILLIAM EATON.
EXTRACTS.
Mr. Eaton to Captain Hull.
GRAND CAIRO, Jan. 8, 1805—3 P. M.
Scarcely had my letter of this morning gone off by your courier express, when a letter from Hamet Bashaw came to hand, of which the following is a copy, by translation:
"Thanks be to him whom gratitude is due. To our friend and the very good friend of our highness, the American agent, Mr. Eaton."
"We have received your letter, and after having understood the contents, we gave thanks to God for having preserved your health. Know that I am ever the same as you knew me at Tunis; my friendship is constant and uniform; but you have been tardy. We must, however, make this delay subserve a good purpose."
"From the date of the present I shall leave this for Behera, and shall there take quarters at the house of the Arab chief Abdelmeier el Kourchi, where I propose to you to meet me. I have written to my subjects and to my minister Mahmoud Kogea, and also the governor of police, Mohammed, son of Abdulrahman, that they may treat with you; and whatever you conclude with them, will be ratified by me. Your operations should be carried on by sea; mine by land; and may God assist us to re-establish peace and harmony. The 28 Namadin, 1219. (Signed) "HAMET BASHAW. Son of Ali Bashaw Caramalli."
The date of the Bashaw's letter corresponds with the 3d instant. The place of meeting about 8 hours march from Alexandria, so that he will probably arrive thither before we can with you.
(To be continued.)
NEW-YORK, January 16.
The following extract of a letter from the Havana, dated December 25, was handed us last evening by a gentleman of this city.
"We have lately seen an order of general Ferrand, directing the French privateers to carry into St. Domingo, and elsewhere, all vessels and property found on the high seas, belonging to any person who has ever been, in any manner, concerned in the trade of the island of St. Domingo. He has furnished the privateers with the names of the persons in the United States, who have been directly or indirectly concerned in that trade. Several strong French privateers have come round to Matanzas, where they continue to remain, as we presume, for the purpose of intercepting the goods and vessels of such persons above mentioned, who are now trading to this island."

LONDON, November 20.
His majesty has given directions that the body of lord viscount Nelson shall be interred in St. Paul's Cathedral, and that there shall be a grand funeral procession, with all the military and national honours, made out by the college at arms, and at the public expence on the occasion. Mr. Peddison of Brewer-street to whom the noble viscount had entrusted his coffin, will have the order of the funeral. We have no doubt but that the ceremony will be conducted with all the solemnity that can bespeak the nation's feelings—that not merely the streets & windows from the Parliament house to St. Paul's will exhibit the signs of mourning, but that the theatres will be shut, the bells in all the churches be muffled, and that perhaps the day appointed for a general humiliation may be the day of interment.
Dispatches from India brought by the Teignmouth Bombay cruiser, capt. John Wales, were received by government and the board of directors on Saturday. The Teignmouth left Bengal the 14th June, arrived at St. Helena the 5th and left it the 8th September. She was detained in the Channel for nearly 16 days, by contrary winds, and suffered severely from several violent gales, before she could make Plymouth, where she arrived on Thursday evening.
The advices brought by the Teignmouth, state, that a treaty of peace has been concluded with the Rajah of Bhurtpore, and several of the neighbouring chiefs on that side of India. General Harcourt has met with great success in forming treaties with the chiefs and Rajahs in Cutchah, and in the Bundelcund, for the protection of their mutual interests; and tranquility was restored in all the provinces belonging to the Company, and also in those recently acquired. Apprehensions were, however, entertained, that Holkar would be able to collect forces sufficient to disturb the general tranquility, though great numbers of his followers had deserted him, and entered into the services of the East India Company, the Rajah of Ber, and Scindia.
General lord Lake was about to take measures, which it was hoped, would defeat the hostile schemes of this restless chieftain. Detachments were to be stationed in the several districts, to act together, in case of emergency, and particularly to defend the inhabitants exposed to his predatory incursions, which were always attended with acts of extreme cruelty and avarice. The troops at Fort William were in a very bad state of health, and several of them died daily. The following letter was received in town yesterday from Calcutta, dated the 18th of June brought to Plymouth by the Teignmouth:
"I have only time to write a few lines at present, as the Teignmouth leaves this place at a very short notice, with the ratification of peace between the Rajah of Bhurtpore and the British government. I shall write you more fully by the ships that are appointed to sail from hence on the 17th, namely, the Ocean, Harriot, Lord Keith, and Huddart. Their cargoes are already on board, and every thing in readiness for sailing. The season here has been intensely hot; and, notwithstanding it is so far advanced, the rains have not yet set in."
"A great alteration has taken place in the promotions about the government house, since accounts have been received from England of Lord Cornwallis's appointment. It is a circumstance, however, which gives universal satisfaction. The settlement which was established in 1803, by the marquis Wellesley, on the island of Ballambadan, is about to be
withdrawn by the order of the court of directors; and the following ships are among the number chartered to carry away the troops and stores; Boubay, Merchant, Auspicious, Triton and Marquis Wellesley, a ship of 1,100 tons burthen.
"Sir Edward Pellew is doing every thing in his power to make the naval department of this country respectable. He has purchased several large ships for the purpose of converting them into frigates. The Carron and Katskafiroo are among the number, and have been fitted up in a very short time; the former is called the Lord Duncan, and the latter Earl Howe. The Paix has been taken up to carry cotton to China, and would have been purchased by Sir Edward for a frigate, had she not been French built."
"The crops of cotton and indigo this season are abundant; and the latter will be of the very best quality, provided we have a supply of ram shortly."
INTENDED ATTEMPT AGAINST BOULOGNE.
DOVER, November 22.
"The scene of action is fast approaching.—The Diligence sloop of war goes out of the harbour this afternoon. In consequence of the great length of time which has necessarily elapsed in making the different preparations, the original mode of attack is intended to be altered. A Damisade "coup de main" was at first proposed. From its being generally imagined that the enemy, ere this, must be apprised of our movements and operations, the attempt, it is now thought, will be boldly made in the face of day. Several fire-ships, filled with combustibles of all kinds, are to be sent in amidst the flotilla. These vessels are loaded so with strata of powder and shot, being heavily charged with alternate layers of each, the explosion it is supposed will be dreadfully tremendous. Even adamant itself would be unable to resist the concussion. It is intended that the immense chain across the bar should be broken by the explosion of one of these dreadful machines, when a passage will be forced into the harbour, and the whole of the gun-boats blown to atoms. A Pyrotechnic invention of rockets and arrows is likewise to be made use of as a collateral and auxiliary instrument of destruction, in the event of a partial failure.—These engines are so constructed as to stick in the hull and catch in the rigging of the vessel they may be directed against, for the purpose of communicating their flames. It is computed that upwards of a thousand of them can be thrown the distance of a mile and a half, in a point blank direction, within the short space of a single minute. Nothing can withstand the general conflagration that must inevitably ensue from the rapid discharge of such volleys of fire-brands. These are a part of the means destined for the annihilation of the Boulogne flotilla. From the enterprising genius, from the spirited exertions, and the skilful management of Sir Sydney Smith, what may not be expected! That the country may have to glory in the complete success of the undertaking, must be the sincere wish and the ardent prayer of every admirer of British valour, and British patriotism!!"
