This Paper will be published again Tomorrow Evening, and on each Wednesday, Friday and Monday Evening, as heretofore.
Foreign Synopsis—Intelligence from abroad has been recently received, which is of considerable importance, and of which, as much as we could prepare, for this day's paper, has been given.
The revolution in Sweden was noticed in our last, and although we did not then undertake to pronounce positively, we had but little doubt that it was produced by the machinations of a French party. Our doubts are now removed, as well by the official documents which will be found in this day's paper, as by more recent advices, which assure us of the arrest of Count Persen, and other Swedish noblemen, known opponents to Buonaparte. The fate of the gallant and patriotic king of Sweden, will be lamented by all who are capable of appreciating the value of national independence, and who abhor the machinations of a foreign nation. Subsequent accounts say that the hardy Dalecarlians, those faithful adherents of Gustavus Vasa, have been equally faithful to their present monarch, and had succeeded in replacing him on his throne, but this wants confirmation.
Austria has not yet announced her declaration, but the most vigorous preparations are making by her to resist the storm with which she is threatened, and we do believe from every appearance, that war between her and France is inevitable. Napoleon will bend his chief force against Austria, even if he must abandon his designs upon Portugal and Spain for the present.
It appears by advices from London, received at Philadelphia, down to the 16th of April, that the ports of Holland are opened for the importation and exportation of certain articles, but what those articles are, the papers of Philadelphia do not state. And it is said that the same regulations have been made in the French ports. Our recent accommodation with England, will make these regulations, it is expected, interesting, and highly beneficial to our country in the disposition of the great quantities of colonial and domestic produce now on hand. This change in the system adopted by Buonaparte, furnishes another proof that the pressure of commercial restrictions could no longer be supported by France and her dependents, or that a change in the affairs of the continent of Europe is expected, which would render those restrictions nugatory.
The affairs of Spain are not in that desperate state, which we had been led to expect. Translations from the Spanish papers, received at Philadelphia, prove that the spirit of the patriots remained unsubdued. Details of a number of partial actions and some important battles, show that Buonaparte has yet much to do, and that he finds some difference between conquering an army and subduing a people. He conquered Prussia, who had an army of 300,000 soldiers in six weeks; but the Spaniards with a regular force bearing no comparison with that of Prussia, have resisted his efforts for twelve months. He entered Prussia as an enemy, but Spain as a friend; he gained the strong garrisons of the former by arms, those of the latter by treachery. Nor is the cause of Spain abandoned by Great Britain, as will appear by the treaty, given in this day's Ledger, between those two nations. Reinforcements are daily going from Great Britain and Ireland for Spain and Portugal.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, May 24, 1809.
Mrs. Randolph. I rise for the purpose of making two motions—the nature of which I will explain. The President in his message has omitted to give an opinion upon some of our foreign relations; I allude to that part of it speaking of the standing army, and 100,000 militia. I believe the people of the United States never will submit to see a standing army equipped, armed and provided with resources, and see the militia, the proper defence of the nation, deprived of their arms, left bare and unprotected. I believe it would be the most popular act of the present administration, to abolish the present standing army. I admit that our troops may be necessary, to prevent collisions with our frontier neighbours and savages; but to have a respectable army in
the United States, we must begin anew, as our ancestors in a new settlement would say, begin from the very stump, for I believe the old establishment is rotten to the core, that it is not a safe depository of the arms of the nation. I do not mean to condemn any man, I only mean to state facts, only to shew what A. and B. said, God forbid I should condemn any man upon mere assertion, much less unproved. It will be seen I have two objects first to disband part of the present standing army, which motion I should have brought forward, were I sure that every individual from the highest to the lowest, were as pure from corruption as the Alpine snows, and second to give to the administration an opportunity of sitting from the bulk those canker worms which might eat and are eating through the heart of our existence. The second motion is intended to institute an enquiry, which shall sweep with the bosom of publick scrutiny, the impurities of our systems. With these views I submit the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the additional military force created by an act of the last Congress be disbanded, and that the surplus of the appropriations for its support, together with the surplus for the equipment of the gun-boats, be applied to the arming the whole body of the militia of the United States.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether all monies drawn from the treasury have been applied to the legitimate or proper objects; and to enquire what arrangements could be made to promote economy in the distribution of publick monies, to enforce adherence to legislative restrictions, and secure the accountability of persons entrusted with publick monies.
Mr. Jackson wished to know whether a motion to go into committee of the whole on the state of the union would not supersede the gentleman's propositions which are now about to be acted on?
Mr. Randolph meant to refer them to that committee, and moved accordingly, but so varied it that each resolution be referred to a select committee, to report to the house by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Fipes said in relation to the first motion, that if there was to be a deduction, it should be the old rather than the new levies, from which such deduction should be made in concordance to the gentleman from Virginia, who has said that the army from its root was rotten. On the second resolution, that it was the peculiar province of the committee of ways and means, to take every step which the gentleman's resolution goes to enforce. However if the gentleman from Virginia, could identify a charge in a particular department, or against an individual, he would not object to the commitment of the resolution so modified.
Mr. M'Kim was in favour of a commitment to the committee of the whole on the state of the union; urged the propriety of an enquiry into the state of the treasury, and cited the enquiry made by this house at the commencement of Jefferson's administration, and asked, should we do to others what we would not do to ourselves. He thought no greater honour could be done an extinct administration than an enquiry into its execution which should eventuate in its credit and honour.
The reference of the first resolution to a select committee, being under consideration.
Mr. Lyon moved to divide the resolution into two sections, the second of which he should vote for, but would not consent to the first, because he had no idea that our army should lay down their arms and be disbanded, when every state in the union is vulnerable to rabble, and the country which I represent open to the inroads of savages; and it would be impolitic in the present convulsed state of the world. Great Britain has but told us that she would recede, and so forth, but this is not the assurance of reality, which I wish to see, before I can consent to disband our army.
Mr. Jackson moved that the resolution be referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union, divided into two sections.
Mr. Randolph opposed such a reference. In the course of his opposition he remarked (echoing an expression of Mr. M'Kim's) the country indeed never will see such an administration as the last; the first four years of it had my most hearty concurrence; but the last had my hearty disapprobation; it was the lean-kine eating upon the fat kine; for the last four years with the embargo in their train, devoured the rich harvest of the preceding five, and had not some Joseph stepped in it, it is impossible to say what would have been the extent of dilapidation; no administration ever went from office leaving the country in so deplorable a state as the last—His object was for ferreting out the rats from the publick departments; and to correct what he conceived errors in our military system; for while we were appropriating millions for standing armies, millions for navies, millions for gun-boats, we appropriated but 200,000 dollars for arming the militia of the country, not 20 cents a man for rendering it invulnerable; in his elective capacity he would, never, so help him God, vote for any man who would not arm the militia; then we would hear no more of invasions from Canada, no more of Burr and his conspiracy, and the uses that have been made of them, like the Pope and the Pretender, to scare us into compliance, no more suspensions of habeas corpus act, no more enforcing embargo acts.
Speaking of the President he observed, that he would do him the justice to say, as he was disposed to do every person justice, but more particularly him, that he entered on his office the friend of economy, the friend of reform, and that in his practise, he was as economical as a man would be who had command of a fleet of gun-boats, who had command of a standing army, and who had the resources of the country cut off by an embargo.
The first member was referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union.
The second member was also referred to the same committee.
The second resolution under consideration.
Mr. Fipes moved to amend the resolution; to insert after the word treasury "from the 4th March 1801, to the present day."
Mr. Randolph concurred in the gentleman's modification, and the resolution was referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union, unanimously.
(A misunderstanding having arisen on the passage of the second resolution).
Mr. Troup moved to reconsider the last vote, which was passed by yeas and nays, yeas 55 nays 53.
Mr. Vison moved for an adjournment.—Carried.
PHILADELPHIA, May 22.
Major Jackson, is requested to publish the following information, transmitted by Richard W. Meade, esq. of Cadiz, to the president of the Philadelphia chamber of commerce.
The Minister of State, writes me under date 2d inst. as follows:—
EXCELLENT SIR, Immediately on receipt at my office of the original papers relating to the vessels of the United States of America, detained at the port of Algeciras, the Supreme Junta governing Spain and its Indies, ordered the same to be examined by four ministers of probity and experience, with the two-fold view of protecting the rights that might belong to any Spanish subjects over the said vessels and their cargoes, and of giving a proof to the government of the United States, of the sacred manner with which the King our Lord, observes the treaties made with foreign powers, the same ministers appointed by his majesty for this purpose, having given in their opinion on the
2d inst past, and the Supreme Junta having examined the same, his majesty has been pleased to resolve as follows:
1st. That the following twelve American vessels shall immediately be set at liberty:—Monk, Aurora, Uncle Toby, Eliza, Alpha, Cerberus, Helen, Augusta, of Gloucester, Augusta of Baltimore, Washington, Hannah, and Julia.
2d. That the suits relative to the other vessels, namely, the Ruby, and Wells, shall be continued, admitting an appeal to the supreme council of war, without however, allowing the privateersmen either in the first instance, or in the one in which the appeal is entered, to bring forward as testimony in their favour, or found their claim in any respect, on the decree of the 3d January, 1808; and that the said suits shall be decided according to the laws and stipulations of the treaty between his majesty and the United States of America.
3d. That in case the owners or consignees of any of the above-mentioned twelve vessels, now ordered to be set at liberty, should have entered into and concluded any compromise with the captors, and by rights respectively, that said compromise or agreements be punctually observed; as the supreme junta have no powers to annul agreements and conventions, freely entered into and made by individuals.
4th. That if any of the said vessels now ordered to be set at liberty, are actually so under bonds, that these bonds shall be immediately cancelled—as the liberty granted by his majesty is to be absolute, and without any restriction whatsoever.
5th. That the said order shall extend to all the ports in Spain and its adjacent islands, where any American vessels may be detained in consequence of the Royal Decree of the 3d January, 1808.
6th. That from the Royal Treasury, indemnifications shall be made to the Spanish captors for the expenses they have been at, and the losses they may have unjustly sustained, and for which purpose they shall apply to the supreme junta, through the secretary of state, and his majesty will cause their claims to be examined by the same four ministers, who have been employed on this business; and who are to take into consideration, that no indemnification appears due to those, who, in consequence of the Royal Decree of 3d January, 1808, captured American vessels who left the United States prior to the period at which they could have received intelligence of the said royal decree, and on which point there is in the Autor sent from Algeciras, a certified copy of a declaration of H. C. M. Charles the IVth. in favour of an American ship.
7th. That the members who compose the Tribunal of Marine in Algeciras, shall not recover any fees whatsoever; and that they shall refund all those which they may have received on account of the process or suits carried on in consequence of the Royal Decree of 3d January, 1808, against the American vessels that left the United States before they could receive the intelligence of the said Royal Decree; and his majesty commands me to state this to you, in order that you may give the necessary orders for its being punctually complied with; and I send you back the papers sent on by the Tribunal at Algeciras.
This I copy to your excellency, and send these accompanying papers, in order that you may cause his majesty's resolution to be immediately complied with. God preserve your excellency for many years.—Royal Palace of the Alcazar of Seville, 5th March, 1809.
ANTONIO DE ESCANO, SR. DN PEDRO DE CARDENAS, Captain General of the Province of Andalusia. May 24.
The sch't Mary, from Liverpool, is seized at New Castle for entering the United States after the 20th May.
At a late hour last evening, we received English papers to the 10th ult. Upon a hasty perusal we are only able to give the following:
It is reported that Massena has been killed by Buonaparte, in a fit of passion, tho' other accounts say it was by accident.
Accounts are received from Paris on the 28th March, that Buonaparte had not left that place—but that he would probably set off after an extraordinary meeting that was to be held of the senate. Troops are pouring into Germany from all parts.
A paper of the 4th, mentions reports being received of actions between the French and Austrians, but later papers give no confirmation of them and it only appears that preparations are going on vigorously between them.
A paper of the 4th says—Two expeditions are intended—one has just sailed from Cork—the other will sail from Portsmouth in a few days—one is intended for Portugal and the other unknown.
The papers contain a variety of paragraphs from Spain and Portugal, but none so late as received, nor of any great moment, which the want of time and room obliges us to postpone till our next.
LONDON, April 5.
General Dupont, who surrendered to the Spaniards under Cuesta, is said to have been brought to trial and condemned to death. He was shot by torch-light. This punishment is understood to have produced much murmuring among the French officers.
April 8.
There was a report this morning that the Delecarian under general Fall, had succeeded in releasing the king of Sweden from his confinement, and in reinstating him upon the throne—that the duke of Sudermania had fled towards Finland to take refuge in the Russian territories. We know not on what authority this rumour rests. We have not heard of any arrivals from Sweden since the 28th ult.
April 10.
Dutch papers to the 6th inst. reached town last night, but it is rather singular that the intelligence they bring from Paris only comes down to the 29th ult. The decree for opening the ports of Holland for the exportation and importation of certain enumerated articles (a list of which we laid before our readers on Friday,) is given in the Royal Amsterdam Courant of the 4th inst. The accounts from Spain are given in the most vague manner. The French armies are said to have been successful in several instances, but neither dates nor places are mentioned with any precision. Palafax has, it is said, been ordered from Bayonne to Nancy, and it is added that he was to perform this journey under the care of a single officer. With respect to Austria, these papers contain very little intelligence; the Austrian ambassador had not left Paris on the 29th ult. and the article which mentions this circumstance, adds, that he remained in Paris in consequence of orders not to quit that capital until Buonaparte had left it; but whether those orders are supposed to have proceeded from his own or the French government is not stated.
The Dutch papers have published the decree for the exportation and importation of those articles which we enumerated on Friday. In the preamble of the decree the motive of it is said to be "to place all matters relative to navigation on a footing of complete uniformity with the decrees of France." Has Buonaparte then permitted the same French ports as this decree permits to the Dutch ports? If he has, or if he means to do it, he in fact renounces the system he had adopted. We find from this Dutch decree that certificates of origin are required. By our orders in council of the eleventh of November, "any vessel found carrying such certificates is ordered to be adjudged as lawful prize."
VIA NEW-YORK.
LONDON, March 29. A Gottenburg mail arrived this morning, by which we have received a most important state paper in the form of an address, by the new government.
GOTTENBURG, March 20. Address of his Royal highness the Duke of Sudermania, to the people of Sweden.
"His Royal Highness the Duke of Sudermania, deems it right, and conformable to the duties of his high station, publicly to lay before the Swedish people the motive and causes that have produced the important change which have lately taken place in the government of this country. The archives of the state contain a great variety of documents which will prove the necessity of that measure, both to the present age and posterity.
"For this long time past here, the publick opinion condemned a system of warfare so little suited to a country, the commercial concern of which claim that neutrality, which her fortunate geographical situation seemed to secure for Sweden from being sacrificed by the government. As early as 1805 Sweden joined by other powers, entered into a war with France, which from local circumstances was then, however, confined to the loss of her trade with nearly all the states of Europe, a loss which, although not to be compared with what she has since sustained, ed was yet of great importance. Soon after differences with Prussia arose, which, however, were not attended with consequences equally important. In 1807, the share which Sweden took in the coalition against France, became more momentous and its influence in the dearest concerns of the country more detrimental. Swedish Pomerania was occupied by foreign troops, and Stralsund besieged, yet one prospect of more fortunate times still remained."
"A continental peace was on the point of being concluded at Tilsit, and Sweden invited to form one of the contracting parties. Sweden refused and in consequence of this refusal she was compelled to fight France and her numerous allies single-handed on the continent of Europe, and the siege of Stralsund was carried on with increased vigour; even during that siege, nay, after the conclusion of the convention, which stipulated the evacuation of Pomerania and Rugen by our troops, offers of peace were made by the enemy, and rejected; and the German possessions of Sweden, the last remains of the conquest of Gustavus Adolphus the Great, were lost. Sweden had, however, to sustain losses still more severe. The winter of 1807, and the following year, serious apprehensions arose of an impending rupture with our neighbors both on the east and west of the empire. These apprehensions and dangers might have been warded off a few months before by the Swedish government, by its accession to the peace of Tilsit, a peace which Sweden was not prevented from concluding by her only ally, and which was offered on terms by no means irreconcilable with the publick interest of Sweden.
"The war broke out in Finland, and its gallant defenders, at the end of a severe and honourable conflict with an enemy far superior in number, were obliged to give up to him their beloved country. This misfortune, the most calamitous event which has befallen Sweden for centuries past, might have been averted, if the powerful preparations of defence, which the situation and nature of the country admitted, had been conducted with wisdom and skill, and if the plans of resistance, no sooner adopted than relinquished, had been continued and carried into effect, with unity and firmness. Finland, which, in point of population and intrinsic value, formed one third part of the Swedish empire, was lost; and this loss bears with the most destructive pressure on the two remaining thirds.
"In this state of affairs, the means of waging war against such numerous enemies could not prove sufficient for any length of time, and no other resource was left than to burthen with new taxes, a people perfectly unable to bear them. The publick necessities increased in the same proportion as the means and allowance of the state were destroyed. Trade and navigation were at a stand; our mines and agriculture were unproductive for want of hands; universal ruin spreading wide and afar; and yet it was universally known that his royal majesty had again repeated his former firm and unalterable determination, not to conclude a peace with the present government of France, without which, however, no reconciliation with Denmark and Russia could take place.
"In this situation of affairs a considerable part of the western army formed the resolution to march to the capital, with a patriotic view which appears by the proclamation issued on their part. Similar movements took place among the rest of the Swedish troops, and it was in this critical position his royal majesty came to the unfortunate resolution of leaving Stockholm, and directing his family, and several officers of the staff, to follow him. The garrison was ordered to file off, and it was intended to assemble an army in the south to oppose the troops, who were assembling from the north and west. Two distinct governments were thus to be formed: two armies to be assembled, and a civil war was to fill up the measure of our calamities and distress.
"The King's departure was, however, postponed until the 13th March, at noon. An universal consternation prevailed. The most respectful remonstrances against his majesty's determination were rejected, and no other means remained even to secure the safety of the king's own person, than to prevent him from carrying his unfortunate resolve into effect. In these circumstances all the officers of state in concert with the states of the empire, who were present in Stockholm, expressed to his Royal Majesty the constitutional wish that he might take the reins of government into his hands, a wish to which his royal highness, notwithstanding his advanced age, thought himself in duty bound to accede, confiding that this step will be viewed in its proper light by every honest patriotic Swede.
"Stockholm, March 15, 1809."
STATE PAPER.
Treaty of Peace, Friendship, and Alliance, between his Britannick Majesty and his Catholick Majesty Ferdinand VII. signed at London the 14th January, 1808.
In the name of the most Holy and undivided Trinity.
The events which have taken place in Spain having terminated the state of hostility which unfortunately subsisted between the crowns of Great Britain and Spain, and united the arms of both against the common enemy, it seems good that the new relations which have been produced between the two nations, now connected by common interest, should be regularly established and confirmed by a formal treaty of peace, friendship and alliance; wherefore, his majesty the king of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Supreme and Central Junta of Spain and the Indies, acting in the name and on the behalf of his Catholick Majesty Ferdinand VII. have constituted and appointed:—That is to say, his majesty the king of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the right hon. George Canning, one of his majesty's most honourable privy council, and his principal secretary of state for foreign affairs; and the supreme and central Junta of the government of Spain and the Indies, acting in the name and on the behalf of his catholick majesty Ferdinand VII. Don Juan Ruiz de Apodaca, commander of Vailaga, and Algeciras military order of Calatrava; rear admiral of the royal navy, named

by the supreme and central Junta of the government of Spain and the Indies, as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of his catholic majesty Ferdinand VII. to his Britannick majesty; their plenipotentiaries to conclude and sign a treaty of peace, friendship and alliance; who, having communicated their respective full powers, have agreed to and concluded the following articles:—
Art. I. There shall be between his majesty the king of the united kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland, and his Catholic Majesty Ferdinand VII. king of Spain and of the Indies thereunto appertaining, and between all their kingdoms, states, dominions, and subjects, a christian, stable, and inviolable peace; and a perpetual and sincere amity, and a strict alliance during the war against France; together with an entire and lasting oblivion of all acts of hostility done on either side, in the course of the late wars in which they have been engaged against each other.
Art. II. To obviate all complaints and disputes which might arise on the subject of prizes, captured posterior to the declaration published by his Britannick majesty on the 4th of July of the last year, it has been mutually agreed, that the vessels and property taken posterior to the date of the said declaration, in any seas or ports of the world, without any exception and without any regard either to time or place, shall be restored by both parties.—And, as the accidental occupation of any of the ports of the peninsula by the common enemy, might occasion disputes respecting vessels, which, in ignorance of such occupation, might direct their course to those ports from any other harbour, either of the peninsula or the colonies; and as cases may occur in which Spanish inhabitants of the said ports or provinces so occupied by the enemy, may, with their property endeavour to escape from his grasp, the high contracting parties have agreed that Spanish vessels, not aware of the enemy's occupation of any harbour which they are desirous to enter, or such as may succeed in making their escape from any harbour so occupied, shall not be captured, nor themselves nor their cargoes be considered as a good prize; but, on the contrary, that they shall meet with every help and assistance from the naval power of his Britannick majesty.
Art. III. His Britannick majesty engages to continue to assist, to the utmost of his power, the Spanish nation in their struggle against the tyranny and usurpation of France, and promises not to acknowledge any other king of Spain and of the Indies thereunto appertaining, than his Catholic Majesty Ferdinand VII. his heirs, or such lawful successor as the Spanish nation shall acknowledge; and the Spanish government, in the name and on the behalf of his catholic majesty Ferdinand VII. engages never, in any case, to cede to France, any part of the territories or possessions of the Spanish monarchy in any part of the world.
Art. IV. The high contracting parties agree to make common cause against France; and not to make peace with that power except by common consent.
Art. V. The present treaty shall be ratified by both parties, and the exchange of the ratifications shall be made in the space of two months (or sooner if it can be done) in London.
In witness whereof, we, the undersigned plenipotentiaries, have signed, in virtue of our respective full powers, the present treaty of Peace, Friendship and Alliance, and have sealed it with the seals of our arms.
Done at London this 14th day of January, 1809.
George Canning, Juan Ruiz de Apodaca.
Art. I. (Separate.) The Spanish government engages to take the most effectual measures for the preventing of the Spanish squadrons in the ports of Spain, as well as of the French squadron taken in the month of June, and now in the harbour of Cadiz, from falling into the power of France. For which purpose his Britannick majesty engages to co-operate by all means in his power.
The present Separate Article shall have the same force and validity as if it were inserted, word for word, in the treaty of Peace, Friendship and Alliance, signed this day, and shall be ratified at the same time.
In witness whereof, we, the undersigned Plenipotentiaries, have signed, in virtue of our respective full powers, the present Separate article, and have sealed it with the seals of our arms.
Done at London, this 14th day of January, 1809.
George Canning, Juan Ruiz de Apodaca.
Art. II. (Separate.) A treaty shall forthwith be negotiated, stipulating the Amount and description of succours to be afforded by his Britannick majesty, agreeably to the third article of the present Treaty.
The present Separate article shall have the same force and validity, as if it were inserted, word for word, in the treaty of Peace, Friendship and Alliance, signed this day, and shall be ratified at the same time.
In witness whereof, we, the undersigned Plenipotentiaries, have signed, in virtue of our respective full powers, the present separate article, and have sealed it with the seals of our arms.
Done at London, this 14th day of January, 1809.
George Canning, Juan Ruiz de Apodaca.
ADDITIONAL ARTICLE.—The present circumstances not admitting of the regular negotiation of a treaty of commerce between the two countries, with all the care and consideration due to so important a subject, the high contracting parties mutually engage to proceed to such negotiation as soon as it shall be practicable so to do, affording, in the mean time, mutual facilities to the commerce of the subjects of each other, by temporary regulations founded on principles of reciprocal utility.
The present Additional article shall have the same force and validity, as if it were inserted, word for word, in the Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Alliance, signed at London, the 14th of January, 1809.
In witness whereof, we, the undersigned Plenipotentiaries, have signed, in virtue of our respective full powers, the present Additional Article, and have sealed it with the seals of our arms.
Done at London, this 21st day of March, 1809.
George Canning, Juan Ruiz de Apodaca.

FROM THE FEDERAL GAZETTE, MAY 27. Washington, Wednesday, May 25.
[The discussion to-day on Randolph's resolution, respecting prosecutions for libel, turned principally on the operation of the common law, and on the jurisdiction of the federal courts. The resolution seemed to meet with general approbation; but when or how this important subject will be decided on, time alone must determine. A similar proposition was submitted by Mr. Dama some years ago, but from some cause or other was never finally acted on. Mr. Randolph spoke several times to-day; and in the course of his remarks he observed, that he had been the mere induced to bring forward these and other motions, because he had been accused of finding fault with the publick measures without proposing any provisos of his own; and he intended to convince the house before the close of the present session, that he had as many projects to submit as they
would well know what to do with. You will no doubt perceive, that one of his "projects," which was left undetermined yesterday, still remains in statu quo —not having been even mentioned to-day.]
FROM THE AMERICANS. A bill was read a first and second time, allowing vessels the property of citizens or subjects of foreign nations, intercourse with which was not forbidden by the non-intercourse law, to load for ports or places of such powers, with cargoes of foreign or domestic produce, and ordered to a third reading to-morrow. A resolution was moved to suspend so much of the non-intercourse bill as prohibits the introduction of British merchandise after a certain day, till the 10th June.
ELEVENTH CONGRESS. House of Representatives, Friday, May 26. (Reported for the Federal Gazette .)
On motion of Mr. J. G. Jackson, the house resolved into a committee of the whole on the state of the union, Mr. Pitkin in the chair, on the president's message.
Mr. Jackson then submitted the following resolutions:
1. Resolved, That so much of the message of the president of the United States as respects our relations with foreign nations, be referred to a select committee.
2. Resolved, That so much of the message of the president of the United States as relates to a revision of the commercial laws, for the purpose of protecting and fostering the manufactures of the United States, be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
3. Resolved, That so much of the message of the president of the United States as relates to the modifications of the military and naval establishments of the United States, be referred to a select committee.
4. Resolved, That so much of the message of the president of the United States as relates to the fortifications of our seaport towns, be referred to a select committee.
5. Resolved, That so much of the message of the president of the United States as relates to the revenue and expenditures of the United States be referred to the committee of ways and means.
The resolutions were severally read and agreed to without a division.
The resolution proposed by Mr. Randolph on Wednesday (for immediately disbanding the troops raised by the act of the 12th April, 1808, and for the application of the balance of appropriations to that object and to gun boats, towards arming the militia) which was referred to the same committee of the whole, was also taken up; but on the suggestion of Mr. J. G. Jackson, that the mover of the resolution was absent, the committee rose and reported their agreement to the above resolutions, which the house took up and immediately concurred with.—The first resolution was referred to a committee of nine, and the second to a committee of seven, and the fourth to a committee of seven members.
Mr. Pitkin offered the following resolution, which was agreed to:
Resolved, That the secretary of the navy be directed to lay before this house, the number of gun-boats built, the expense of the building and equipping the same; also, the number employed in actual service, the time they were in service, and the expense while employed in actual service.
Mr. Randolph said that he was sorry he was not in the house before it got out of committee of the whole on the state of the union, since they had fallen into an irregularity which had formerly been productive of great inconvenience; and that was, by throwing the business of two departments upon one committee. He therefore moved, that the committee this morning appointed on so much of the president's message as relates to our military and naval establishments, be discharged, and that so much of the said message as relates to our military establishments, be referred to a select committee of seven members.—Agreed to. He then moved that the committee of the whole on the state of the union be discharged from the further consideration of his resolution (for immediately disbanding the additional military force, &c.) and that it be referred to the abovenominated committee. This was also agreed to.
Mr. Randolph, after some observations on the late favourable change in our foreign relations, submitted the following resolution:
Resolved, That the promptitude and frankness with which the president of the United States has met the overtures of Great Britain, towards the restoration of harmony, and free commercial intercourse with the United States, receive the approbation of this house.
Mr. Findley said this would be a novelty in the legislation of this country. If this practice were once commenced, there would be no knowing where to stop. A member who should wish to produce a contest would have nothing to do but to make a motion approving or disapproving of any part of the president's conduct, and thus the time of the house would be lost in debates to no purpose.
Mr. Bacon regretted that such a motion had been introduced into the house. If compelled to vote on it at all, he should certainly vote in favour of it. He should, however, first move to have the resolution amended, by adding the following words to the end of the resolution: "and furnishes an additional proof of the spirit of accommodation on the part of the government of the United States, which have at no time been intermitted." He hoped the resolution and amendment would be referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
Mr. J. G. Jackson moved that the further consideration of the resolution be postponed indefinitely.
Mr. Randolph said that an indefinite postponement of the resolution would be tantamount to a rejection of it. He did not expect that the motion would be rejected, altho' he certainly supposed it would be opposed. He knew there were men in the country, and he believed in the house, who disapproved of the President's proclamation and the construction given to the non-intercourse law. He lightly approved the President's conduct, contending that it differed widely from the principle pursued by Mr. Jefferson, when he offered to suspend the embargo as it related to England, if she would repeal her orders in council: Suppose Great-Britain had accepted that offer, what would have been her situation with regard to the United States? The old non-importation law (which was adroitly smothered to death by the non-intercourse law,) would have been still in force against her, by which her fine cloths and many other valuable articles were prohibited; and her publick vessels were excluded from our waters, while those of France were freely admitted.
Mr. R. entered into a view of the conduct of the late administration in rejecting the treaty negotiated by Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney, and the offer made by Mr. Canning to make reparation for the affair of the Chesapeake. This, he said, Mr. Monroe was not permitted to accept; for if he had succeeded in bringing about a reconciliation between the two countries, the house might now be discussing his (Monroe's) message instead of another man's (Madison's).
Mr. R. again repeated that the British orders in council were not known in this country at the time the president recommended the laying of the embargo. He said he shuddered when he heard the language made use of by certain newspapers in this
country, edited by men holding high offices in the army of the United States. He then read an extract, (supposed to be from the Aurora ) in substance as follows: "when we consider the fate of all other nations who have first resisted and then submitted to Napoleon, the people of the United States would be fools if they did not perceive the course they ought to pursue." This course, said Mr. R. is not open to us to submit first, without resisting. Mr. Randolph spoke about an hour.
Mr. Holland could see no propriety in adopting the resolutions; for as the gentleman (Mr. R.) admitted that the president had done no more than his duty in this instance, it might be inferred that the president of the United States so seldom did his duty, that this house thought it necessary to pass a vote of approbation whenever he happened to do it.
Mr. J. G. Jackson also opposed the resolution, on the ground that congress had much more important business to transact. He likewise entered into a defence of the late administration, contending that the substance of the orders in council was known in this country before the embargo was recommended, &c.
He was followed by Mr. Findley, who objected to the resolution principally because such proceedings were not within the sphere of legislative business.
Several other members rose to speak, when a motion was made to adjourn, and carried (3 o'clock.)
SENATE.—May 24. Mr. Giles submitted the following motion for consideration:
1. Resolved, That so much of the President's message as relates "to the revision of our commercial laws," for the purpose of adapting them "to the arrangement which has taken place with Great Britain," be referred to a select committee, with instructions to examine the same, and to report thereon to the Senate: and that the committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
The following motion was submitted for consideration by Mr. Giles:
2. Resolved, That so much of the president's message as relates to "the defence of our seaport town and harbours," be referred to a select committee, with instructions to examine the same, and report thereon to the senate: and that the committee have leave to report by bill, or otherwise.
The following motion was submitted by Mr. Giles for consideration:
3. Resolved, That a select committee be appointed to enquire whether it be expedient at this time to make any modifications of the laws relating to the army and navy of the United States, and that the committee have leave to report by bill, or otherwise.
May 25. The three resolutions offered yesterday, by Mr. Giles, were considered, agreed to, and referred as follows:
The first to Messrs. Giles, Smith, Md. Pope, Lloyd and Gregg.
The second to Messrs. German, Gilman, Malone, Smith, of Md. and Leib.
The third to Messrs. Anderson, Hillhouse, Turner, White, and Franklin.
LONDON, April 10.
The following changes in office, we understand, are to take place immediately:
Sir James Pulteney to retire from the office of secretary at war, and to be succeeded by the right hon. Charles Long.
Mr. Sturges Bourne, to succeed Mr. Long as paymaster of the forces.
Mr. Bourne's successor, as a lord of the treasury, is not yet appointed.
Sir James Pulteney retires in consequence of the resignation of the duke of York. He possesses an ample fortune, and will be shortly elevated to the peerage, with the title of lord Murray.
Several transports laden with arms, ammunition and clothing, for the use of the Spanish patriots, are about to sail for Gijon. It is confidently stated, that the French are retreating from Galicia and Leon. Romana, it is added, greatly harasses them in their retreat, and has intercepted almost the whole of the plunder.
Mrs. Clarke.—This lady, we understand, has undertaken to suppress her literary work, in consideration of a sum of 7,000 pounds, to cover her debts, &c. and an annuity of 600 pounds to herself and her children. Ten thousand copies of the work had been worked off, but they were consigned to the flames on Saturday, and all the parties declared upon oath, that no vestige, in print or manuscript, was preserved, except a single copy, in compliance with the act of parliament, and that is secured under seven seals.
Gijon, March 24.—Don Pedro Zubiaher, has this moment received a letter from his brother, the officer in Oviedo, informing him that the last night arrived there a captain of La Romana's army, a division of which would halt last night in Cangas de Fines, another of 18,000 men at Villafranca del Bierzo, and the last of said army was left at Luao, or near it, where it had intercepted the whole plunder of Galicia, which the enemy was retiring with.
The retreat of the French from that province gains credit.

The present Proprietors of this establishment finding a larger capital necessary to carry it on successfully than they have it in their power to command, are disposed to sell it in whole or in part, as shall best please the purchaser, and will give a great bargain to any one inclined to buy.  The House is competent to the refining of 300 hogsheads raw Sugar a year; the consumption of loaf may be judged of by the result of an accurate inquiry, made with a view to ascertain the fact, that the towns of Richmond, Petersburg, and Fredericksburg alone, all in Virginia, and holding their relations in trade immediately with Norfolk, consume or afford rent for an aggregate quantity of at least 300 hogsheads Loaf Sugar a year; to say nothing of the consumption of the town of Norfolk itself, inferior to neither of the others, and where too, from its immediate intercourse with the West-Indies, the raw material has always, hitherto been plenty and upon terms as cheap, often cheaper than at other ports north of this upon the continent. For further information apply to  Campbell & Wheeler.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York. Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall-Street.  PROPOSALS For insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise,  FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an unexpected moment, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION: and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public.  No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified. The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.  HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.  HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.  HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.  HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.  Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.  This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c.—The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.  Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Melters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance.   All applications for Insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for insurance accurately described.  If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupier; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect.  Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property.  Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon.  No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the premium is paid.  Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy; and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall cease, and be of no effect: and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a rateable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained.  No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever.  Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured.  Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy.  All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required: and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or very likely believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and, until such affidavits and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable: Also, if there appears any fraud, of 
false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitution or payment, by virtue of his policy.  XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever.  XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Surveyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required.  Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk.

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