JOHN ALBURTIS,
Has it in contemplation, if sufficiently patronized, to print an elegant edition of
Addresses to Young Men,
By JAMES FORDYCE,
And for that purpose submits the following proposals to the consideration of all who feel for the welfare of the present and rising generation, whose happiness these Addresses are so admirably calculated to promote.
TERMS:
The above Addresses shall be printed with an elegant and entirely new type, on good paper, in an octavo form, and will contain about 500 pages.
They shall be neatly bound and lettered for $2 25—or $2 half bound, payable on delivery of the work.
They shall be put to press so soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained, and finished without delay:
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE present publisher, as a member of that class of the community, to which this highly valuable work is addressed, recommends it particularly to his young brethren—but every person who feels for the good of his country, and for the welfare of society, he doubts not, will consider it a duty to patronize a work of this kind.
THE dispositions and manners of Young Men may be regarded as of the greatest consequence both to the present and future generations—An intercourse with those of worthy manners and dignified deportment, is evidently, much more efficacious in moulding the minds and directing the actions of others, than the highest authority, or the wisest example, of age. How deeply society will be affected, by the connections which Young Men shall form, and by the conduct which they shall hold, as they advance, it is not difficult to imagine; nor can it be necessary to prove, that, as the behaviour of individuals in their early days gives for the most part a turn to the rest, so from the character of our Youth in general, we may prognosticate favourably, or otherwise, concerning our own times, and those that shall more immediately succeed them.
THE above work, tho' more particularly addressed to, and intended for, the improvement of the minds of Young Men, inculcates principles that would add dignity to age,—and be ornamental to the nature of either sex. To persons acquainted with the author and his writings, any recommendation that could be offered, would be superfluous; but to those unacquainted with both, it may be proper to observe, that the work here offered, has stood the test of time and experience, and has been universally extolled by the virtuous of every sect and country where it has been read.
It would be a valuable present from a parent to a child, and for which they may expect remuneration in the rational improvement made in the minds of their progeny.
To complete this work, in a style that will do it justice, will subject the publisher to very considerable expense; but he doubts not but he shall be compensated for his expense and trouble, as every one will acknowledge, that the dissemination of books of this kind are an actual good to the community at large, and will therefore feel disposed to patronize it—for this purpose all who are inclined to do so are invited to the Office of the Intelligencer, Martinsburg.

TANNERS TAKE NOTICE.
THERE is a most elegant TANNERY for sale, in Shepherd's Town, Virginia, with a never failing stream of water running through it, and a wheel that raises the water with ease for the use of the Yard. There are four Lots in the enclosure, and the improvements are: one bark and mill house 120 feet long; one brick building 48 feet long, wherein are, a currying shop, a room for unfinished leather, and a smoke house; one other brick building for storing and selling out finished leather; a beam house, stuffing shop, and garner for ground bark; with 30 vats of different sizes, and room for 100 more.—There is also in the same enclosure an excellent and beautiful Dwelling House 60 feet by 24, two stories high, with a piazza the whole length, and a large Kitchen and hall. The whole neatly finished; and a charming well of limestone water with a pump and dairy, and the whole planted round with fruit and other trees. Also, a convenient Barn, Stables and Garden.
This is a most charming piece of property, and can hardly be exceeded in beauty by any situation that is to be met with. It will be sold remarkably cheap, and the payments made extremely easy by JOHN KEARSLEY. March 7, 1806.
TAKE NOTICE,
THAT on the 6th day of April next, I expect to take my brother Frederick Nadenbousch into copartnership with me in the mercantile line; my business after that period will be carried on under the firm of Frederick Nadenbousch & Co. All those who are in any wise indebted to me, either by bond, note, or book account, are requested to make arrangements for having their accounts settled by the above mentioned time, as it will be extremely inconvenient to me to give any longer indulgence, particularly to such as have let their accounts remain unsettled for an unreasonable length of time; to such no longer indulgence can or will be given. It is with much reluctance I do make such a request, but the closing of my business requires it. I beg leave to return my sincere thanks to all those who have in any wise conducted to support me in the mercantile business for nearly seven years past; and I still hope for a continuance of their favours, for I am persuaded every exertion will be made to give general satisfaction—to use the language of a worthy sentiment, "where commerce can flourish on just and equitable principles, it is there I wish to share the public patronage." With sentiments of esteem I take the liberty of subscribing myself the public's most obedient and humble servant, PHILIP NADENBOUSCH. Martinsburg, March 7, 1806.

DISSOLUTION.

ROBERT WORTHINGTON, & CO.
Who respectfully inform their friends (and particularly the former customers of Morrow & Brown) that they have now on hand a pretty general assortment of

PROPOSALS
FOR PRINTING A PHILOSOPHIC WORK, ENTITLED,
THE NATURE & STATE OF MAN,
AS
CONNECTED WITH THE WORLD, AND WITH DEITY,
IN THE
GOVERNMENT OF THE UNIVERSE.
What Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero of old, and other renowned characters of modern date have condescended to unfold only in part, is here freely investigated, and the contents of the volume offered may be said to embrace these interesting particulars, viz. Deity, the World, Man. Orders, simultaneous and successive. Evils, Natural, Moral, Political and Religious. Governments, free and despotic. Laws and Religions, pure and spurious. Revolutions, Charges, Causes and Effects: as awfully manifested in the Dynasty of the Old World, and strikingly admonitory to the happy people of the New, who compose the large family of the great American Republic, and to whom this work is affectionately dedicated.
CONDITIONS.
It shall be printed on the best paper, and with a good type, neatly bound and lettered, price one dollar, or in sheets seventy-five cents.
It has already obtained the signatures of some of the first characters in the state of Maryland, the District of Columbia, and other parts of the union. The work will be put to press in the month of April next, and subscribers, in the mean time, are invited to this office, in order to have their names enrolled among the worthy and respectable.
Martinsburg, February 28, 1806.

NOTICE.
WHEREAS I did, in the year 1803, bargain & sell a mare to a certain Wm. Grimes, for which he gave me his obligation, which became due on the 1st day of March, 1804; said Grimes has failed to pay any part thereof, according to our agreement; I was somewhat doubtful that I should lose the price of my mare, as the said Grimes appears to be in an unsettled situation at this time. Whereas the said Grimes on the 24th inst. made a public sale to dispose of his effects, at which sale I purchased property to the amount of the above obligation; said Grimes refused to give me the property unless I would give my notes agreeable to the terms of the sale, which I refused to do, said Grimes then agreed that he would not part with my notes until he discharged his obligation, and on these conditions I gave my notes, one to the amount of sixty dollars, and the other for thirteen dollars and seventy-five cents, which will become due on the 24th of August next: I do therefore forward all persons from taking assignments on the above notes, as I am determined not to pay them without making a discount with said Grimes.

LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, December 19.
Funeral of Lord Nelson.
The preparations for the interment of the remains of the illustrious Nelson, in St. Paul's Cathedral, are now in a considerable state of forwardness. James Wyatt, Esq. the surveyor-general, has been daily in attendance in the vestry-room attached to that noble pile of building until yesterday, when he left town to attend the mandate of his sovereign, to receive certain instructions relative to this solemn event. The state of the preparations at present consist only of the temporary pyramid, of wooden frame which is placed under the centre of the dome, where the body will be interred. This pyramid is 22 feet in height, and is said to be a fac simile of the one intended to be erected there of pure statuary marble. Appropriate Latin and English inscriptions, with mottoes suitable, are said to be already composed. It is since said, that Mr. Matthew Wyatt, third son of the surveyor-general, has completed a most magnificent and perfectly unique sketch for a monument, for that lamented hero, which has been highly approved of by all the artists of eminence who have seen it. The expense of this superb monument it is supposed, will cost between 25,000 and 30,000l.
At the three principal entrances into the aisle there will be erected platforms covered with matting, with hand rails on each side covered with green baize. These avenues will lead to others and these to the different seats, which will be erected one tier over the other upon the same principle of architecture as the London Theatre, though not upon the same construction, the present plan being a hollow square. In each seat there will be formed many divisions and the whole will be regulated agreeable to the different classes of persons who may be admitted as spectators of the scene. The centre seats will be fitted up for the king, queen and royal family, and such illustrious strangers who may be invited. These seats, or more properly speaking, boxes, will be lined with black or crimson velvet. The whole of the seats will be made to accommodate about 3,000 persons. The most peremptory orders will be given that not a ticket be sold on any pretence whatsoever. They will be at the disposal of the bishop of London, the dean and chapter, and the surveyor-general. The choir is already fitting up with platforms and seats. The whole will be covered with green cloth.
The body is not now in spirits. It was placed last week in a leaden coffin. The features are said to be entire. On the arrival of the Victory, at Greenwich, the body will be removed from on board into the painted chamber (which is already fitted up for the occasion) where it will lie in state seven days. On the eighth day it will be removed by water to Westminster Stairs, and carried from thence into Whitehall Chapel (instead of the Admiralty, as has been erroneously reported) where the body will lie in state one day only. On the 10th of January the funeral will positively take place. The procession will set out from Whitehall precisely at ten o'clock in the morning, unless the Lords of the Treasury think proper to alter their instructions already given.
The procession will move with a slow and solemn pace through the city. Two hours are allowed for it to reach St. Paul's. Before the ceremony commences, about three hours will be occupied in the preparations. The solemnity of the scene commences by torch light, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. A solemn dirge, composed for the occasion, will be sung. The expense of the preparations, independent of the monument, is estimated at 9,000l.
PORTSMOUTH, November 29.
Admiral Villeneuve, was brought on shore in the Montague's barge this morning—he was landed at Gosport, with the Captain of his late fleet, Merchande. He is a middle sized man, about 55 years of age, is of a very temperate and humane disposition. Capt. Merchande has been taken three times before, and is a very spirited and excellent officer. Admiral Villeneuve speaks English imperfectly—he said, on seeing the men on board the Eurylus at dinner, "You fire damn'd well, but no wonder, you damn'd cat!" He said, on being taken on board the Eurylus, "that nobody can beat the English at sea—that if the ships were fewer, they would have gained the vic-
tory!"—Villeneuve and Merchande, after taking some refreshment, were conveyed to Bishop Waltham's, on their parole. It is a pleasing and honourable circumstance, that, in lamentation of the death of Lord Nelson the Spanish Governor General at Cadiz, used black wax and mourning paper, in his correspondence with Lord Collingwood.
DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
NEW-YORK, February 26.
From England.—Last Thursday the schooner Washington, capt. Vinall, arrived at Boston from Liverpool, which place she left the 25th of December.—Capt. V. informs that various reports respecting the military occurrences on the continent, were in circulation a few days previous to his sailing; but the last was, that Bonaparte's Grand Army had been defeated. Capt. V. brought from Liverpool, London papers to the 22d Dec. but gave them to the captain of a French man of war.
On Thursday the house of assembly, in committee of the whole, after a very lengthy debate, passed the bill directing the execution of Stephen Arnold, for the murder of Betsey Van Amburgh, on the last Friday in May next. The debate was principally upon a substitute for the bill, offered by Mr. Van Ness, which went to the pardon of Arnold, upon condition of his being imprisoned in the state prison for life, at hard labour. The substitute was rejected; ayes 53, noes 48.
On Saturday last, the house of assembly of this state adopted the following resolution, and directed, their speaker to cause a copy of the same to be transmitted to Lieut. Thorn.
"Resolved unanimously," That this house entertain a high sense of the valour and intrepidity of Lieut. Jonathan Thorn, a native of this state, as one of the heroic band engaged in executing the orders of his gallant commander, capt. Stephen Decatur, Jun. in boarding and destroying the frigate Philadelphia in the harbour of Tripoli, on the 16th day of February, 1804, and with pleasure recognize one of their own citizens among the brave men whose heroic acts redeemed a number of their unfortunate brethren from slavery, and impressed the barbarous foe with a proper respect for the American nation."
Melancholy. —The following account of a most distressing accident is extracted from a letter written by a gentleman residing at Marcellus, N. Y. dated January 18, 1806.
"Last night, about twelve o'clock, the house of Mr. Fowler, an inhabitant of this place, was consumed by fire. Mr. F. was not at home. His wife who was asleep, did not awake, until it was too late to extinguish the fire, or save the lives of her children. Four children, the eldest six years old, and the youngest two months, perished in the flames. Mrs. Fowler is so burnt, as not to be able to attend to any business at present. Thus have two fond parents, as it were in a moment, been deprived of all their children. In this awful event, we see the uncertainty of all earthly things, beneath the sun. Thus providence speaks, a language intelligible to the lowest capacity. It says to us all— "Be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not of, the son of man cometh."
[Utica Pat.]
BASSETTERRE, Feb. 7.
This day a ship arrived from Antigua, for Quebec, she brings an account that his Prussian majesty has joined the coalition and taken possession of Holland—that Sir James Craig had effected his landing with the British, as had also the Russian troops from Corfu, at Venice—that Lord Cathcart commanded the infantry, and his royal highness the duke of Kent the British cavalry, on the continent—that seven sail of the line had made their escape from some other port of France; and that admiral lord A. Beauclerc, with 5 sail of the line, may be momentarily expected in pursuit of them.
From the Louisiana (New Orleans) Gazette.
MILITARY ASSOCIATION.
The critical situation of our foreign relations, at the present moment, had induced many of our fellow citizens to form themselves into a military association. Several papers of which the following is a copy, are now in circulation, and which we doubt not will be very generally signed:—
Whereas, the existing state of our public affairs leads to an apprehension, of our being drawn into a war with some foreign power. We the subscribers not now members of any military corps, do solemnly agree to form ourselves into a military association, for the purpose of learning the use of arms, and of being at all times ready when called upon by the constituted authorities, to support the government of the United States and to defend ourselves, liberty and property."
The revenue of the planters in the territory of Orleans is truly astonishing. The culture of sugar on the rich and unexhausted banks of the Mississippi, has within a few years raised many of the cultivators from a state of indigence to a state of affluence to which the inhabitants of the other parts of the union can never hope to attain. From the labour of forty or fifty prime negroes, an annual income of from ten to twenty thousand dollars is confidently expected; and so certain is the crop, that these expectations are seldom or ever disappointed. Next to the planter of cane the cultivator of cotton is most liberally rewarded, and the rapid augmentation of the fortunes of the Mississippi territory, proves that this species of crop, is easy to cultivate, and requiring little experience or toil, is long destined to give them advantages of the northern states.
The high price given in cash for slaves sold at auction here, proves the prosperous state of agriculture. Men have lately been sold at auction for eight, ten and some fourteen hundred dollars each. Ought not the inhabitants of Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland, to render their slaves valuable by bringing them to this country, or to avail themselves of the present moment to sell them for an advanced price to our cultivators.
WILMINGTON, (N. C.) Feb. 15.
Wilmington again Ashes.
On Tuesday last this truly unfortunate town once more was visited by that worst of all calamities fire , which has laid in ruins its most valuable and beautiful parts; about 2 o'clock in the morning of that day, the bake-house occupied by John B. Gamache, on the north side of Market Street, immediately opposite the printing office, was discovered to be enveloped in flames, and before the alarm became general and the citizens could assemble, communicated to an adjoining two story wooden building, which was so far consumed as to defy all exertions to check the progress of the devouring element to the elegant new brick house of John Lord on the east, and Dr. N. Hill's on the west: from thence it extended northwardly through that whole square, down Market Street to the river, up Front Street on both sides to Second Street; and in this extensive range the only buildings which escaped are Mr. John Martin's, corner of Front and Princess street, a small wooden building of Major Walker, corner of Princes and Second streets, two fire proof warehouses back of Market street near the wharf owned by Messrs. Richard Bradly and Alexander Hosler, and a warehouse on Princess street belonging to the estate of Peter Mallet. The unfortunate situation of the Court house (in the centre of the small square formed by the intersection of Market and Front streets, with a wooden roof, exactly calculated to convey the flames to the four quarters of the town) required every exertion at that point, to prevent the fire from crossing Market street. We rejoice and are grateful for the success of that exertion, by which alone what remains of the town to the southward was saved.
The amount of loss sustained cannot be computed at less than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The number of dwelling houses, ware houses and stores destroyed, is about 70, and the loss in goods no doubt very great. There were upwards of 70 bales of cotton, (purchased on account of a house in New-York) and a number of other valuable articles, consumed in the new brick store of Willkings, Scott and Co.
The friendly and prompt assistance rendered at this distressing time, by the strangers, captains of vessels and their crews, will be remembered by the citizens of Wilmington with gratitude.
While the editor bewails this sad catastrophe and laments its consequences to many of his fellow citizens, he has cause to rejoice and be thankful, that he is not among the unfortunate sufferers. The only injury he sustained was the derangement of his printing apparatus in the hurry of moving, which will necessarily preclude the publication of the Wilmington Gazette next week.
CHILLICOTHE, February 20.
We understand the governor has received an express from Mad river, from major Moore, captain Moore and captain M'Pherson, along with some depositions taken on oath, which states that the Shawney Indians are preparing for war—that the war belts are passing amongst them—that their tomahawks are painted and feathered—that they are embodied at Stoney creek and at White river, and are now in council at Greenville, where it is feared they will strike a war post in their council, this being a small settlement on Stoney creek consisting of about eight families, from their fears had armed for defence, but had fled into Mad river settlement.
It appears from this express, that the Shawneys are preparing for war, but it does not appear that it is intended against the white people: It may be intended against the Indian tribes over the Mississippi.
Proper measures will, we have no doubt, be taken to ascertain their intention, and such prudent means used as will quiet the fears of our defenceless citizens, if the alarm should be groundless, and preparations used to ward off any attempt to disturb our quiet, should this weak and restless tribe of Indians be urged by any foreign emissaries, to involve themselves in what will ultimately prove their entire ruin.
Since writing the above, we learn that a second express has arrived from Mad river, with dispatches for the governor, and that general Kenton, major Moore, captain M'Pherson and a Mr. M'Ivain, went to the Indian council, but could not get admittance; they had however, a conversation with about eighteen Indians, who met them at some distance from the council house. The Indians received a few strings of wampum,—professed friendship for the white people, but at parting manifested hostile views, by giving their left hands, &c.—The above gentlemen are fearful of consequences; but nothing appears certain as to the views or object of the Indians.
We are informed the government has sent a message or speech to the chiefs, with a large line belt of white wampum, and has given such instructions as will, it is hoped, in a few days bring news that will restore the public quiet. We are also led to believe, that orders has issued to brigadier-general Whiteman, of Green county, how to prepare and act, if necessity should require it.
BALTIMORE, March 3.
By the Paragon from Leghorn, official bulletins of the Grand Army have been received up to the 2d December, which give the following important intelligence:
On the 2d December a general engagement took place between the French and Russian armies, which was almost decisively fatal to the latter, they having had 27,000 men taken prisoners, and 13,000 killed and wounded—5000 of the latter were the Emperor Alexander's guards, and were either driven into an adjacent lake or destroyed with the bayonet. The Russians also lost 150 pieces of cannon.
In addition to the above, a gentleman who arrived here yesterday from Philadelphia, states, that on the day he left there (Saturday) a vessel arrived from England, which place she left the middle of January. The accounts by her confirm the battle of the 2d as above stated, and further, that the Russian army afterwards received sufficient reinforcements to enable them to maintain their position till the 8th, when Bonaparte having received considerable reinforcements, attacked and almost entirely defeated the Russian army.
Capt. Cook left Marseilles on the 21st December. A report of the battle between the French and Austro-Russian armies had just reached that place—it was styled the " battle of three Emperors " and the French were reported to have enjoyed the advantage. It was stated that 80,000 English and Russian troops had been landed in Naples. Capt. C. was boarded in the Mediterranean by an English squadron, who informed, that the American frigate Essex, is entering the Bay of Algeziras, had been fired upon by the Spanish batteries. Markets were dull at Marseilles, for colonial produce, in consequence of an expectation of peace. [Char. Courier.]
PHILADELPHIA, March 4.
We understand that capt. Russell, who arrived here yesterday from the Havana, informs that he was induced to hasten away from that port on account of a confidential intimation that a general embargo was about to be laid upon all A-

merican vessels in the port. We have for some time done what we could to put the merchants on their guard as to the consequences which would probably result from the sailing of the secret expedition at New-York. It is probable that these consequences are now on the eve of being realized.
A gentleman just arrived at Norfolk from the Havanna, says that an order was issued there before he left that place, prohibiting the exportation of Sugars—not Segars as is erroneously stated in some of the papers. We mention this to tranquilize the agitated minds of the smokers. [Am. Daily Adv.]
MARTINSBURG, March 14.
Died on Tuesday morning last, after a short illness, Dr. JACOB P. HARRIS, for a long time an inhabitant of this town.
Extract of a letter from a member of Congress to a gentleman in this town, dated March 5, 1806.
"This place affords but little news.—The house of Representatives have been engaged for three days past in discussing a motion for prohibiting the importation of British goods, to go into operation some time hence, in case our differences with the British government are not in the mean time adjusted. This proposition has and will meet with powerful opposition, and it is difficult even to guess what will be its fate. But there are sundry other motions before the house, something different from the one now under consideration, respecting the same subject, and I rather suppose some one of them will pass."
The Senate, we understand were yesterday engaged on the bill brought in by Mr. Wright, relative to the impressment of our seamen,—after some discussion, the whole was struck out except the words, BE IT ENACTED, that a new bill was then reported in its room, which met with a similar fate. [Washington Federalist.]
The Richmond Enquirer, after giving an account of a Mr. Sayre, says "since his arrival, Mr. Sayre has made some communications to a friend here that must, when publicly known, not merely excite curiosity, but the wonder of every citizen of America."
"We are informed of a project by the northern papers, to be conducted by general Miranda, but we had no idea before that this plan was the most extensive, and above all things, most likely to change the face of affairs through the universe."
The Enquirer then goes on to state the conjectures which general Miranda's expedition has given rise to, and concludes by saying,
"Another conjecture, infinitely more important than these, and more deeply connected with the affairs of our own country, rises upon us. We must have more time to consider it. It is much too important to be lightly trusted to a public paper."
From the UNITED STATES' GAZETTE. An observation of a foreigner at the Federal City, taken from his Journal.
2d month 8th, 1805.—This day came to Washington City, and passed on the road a company of black slaves, the men chained together, the children in a cart, a black looking person driving them before him, carrying a large loaded pistol in his hand. This company I afterwards saw passing under the walls of the capitol where congress sit, and near the front of Steele's Hotel, the principal inn in this place, where stood the chief justice of the U. S. a number of other judges and members of congress, the apostles of liberty of this day—yet this affecting sight did not appear to make the least impression on any of them, any more than a company of dogs or horses might have done.
From the Boston Gazette.
It is wonderful to observe how justly the Great Washington thought and wrote—even upon subjects, which one would think he could hardly have been acquainted with; considering, that his boyish days were passed in savage warfare, and his riper years devoted to his country in the tented field. The following judicious, temperate and striking remarks were made by that illustrious Character in a Letter to President Reed of Pennsylvania, written in the year 1780
"Every view of our own circumstances ought to determine us to the most vigorous efforts; But there are considerations of another kind that should have
equal weight. The combined fleets of France and Spain, last year were greatly superior to those of the enemy; the enemy nevertheless sustained no material damage, and at the close of the campaign gave a very important blow to our allies. This campaign, the difference between the fleets, from every account I have been able to collect, will be considerable: indeed it is far from clear, that there will be an equality. What are we to expect will be the case if there should be another campaign? In all probability the advantage would be on the side of the English, and then what would become of America? we ought not to deceive ourselves. The maritime resources of Great Britain are more substantial and real than those of France and Spain united. Her commerce is more extensive than that of both her rivals; and it is an axiom, that the nation which has the most extensive commerce will always have the most powerful marine. Were this argument less convincing, the fact speaks for itself; her progress in the course of the last year is an incontestible proof.
"It is true, France, in a manner, created a fleet in a very short space; and this may mislead us in the judgment we form of her naval abilities. But if they bear any comparison with those of Great Britain, how comes it to pass, that with all the force of Spain added, she has lost so much ground in so short a time, as now to have scarcely a superiority. We should consider what was done by France as a violent and unnatural effort of the government; which, for want of a sufficient foundation, cannot continue to operate proportional effects."
"In modern wars, the longest purse most chiefly determines the event. I fear that of the enemy will be found to be so. Though the government is deeply in debt, and of course, poor, the nation is rich, and their riches afford a fund which will not be easily exhausted. Besides, their system of public credit is such, that it is capable of greater exertions than that of any other nation. Speculators have been a long time foretelling its downfall; but we see no symptoms of the catastrophe being very near. I am persuaded it will at least last out the war."
"France is in a very different position. The abilities of the present financier have done wonders; by a wise administration of the resources, aided by advantageous loans he has avoided the necessity of additional taxes. But I am well informed, if the war continues another campaign, he will be obliged to have recourse to the taxes usual in time of war, which are very heavy, and which the people of France are not in a condition to endure for any length of time. When this necessity commences, France makes war on ruinous terms, and England from her individual wealth, will find much greater facility in supplying her exigencies."
"Spain derives great wealth from her mines, but it is not so great as is generally imagined. Of late years the profit to government is essentially diminished. Commerce and industry are the best means of a nation; both which are wanted by her. I am told her treasury is far from being so well filled as we have flattered ourselves. She is also much divided on the propriety of the war. There is a strong party against it. The temper of the nation is too sluggish to admit of great exertions; and though the courts of the two kingdoms are closely linked together, there never has been in any of their wars, a perfect harmony of measures; nor has it been the case in this; which has already been no small detriment to the common cause."
IMPORTANT.
BALTIMORE, March 7. Capture and Destruction of the French West-India Fleet.
On the 21st of January, a French squadron of 3 sail of the line, 1 frigate and a sloop of war, of the following names and force, viz.
  Imperial, of 134 guns,   Jupiter, 74   Diomed, 74   Comet, 36   Corvette Dilligence, 22   Le Brave, 84   L'Alexandre, 74   Felicitè, 44 
They had left France in company with another squadron of 7 sail of the line and 1 frigate, under the command of prince Jerome Bonaparte, and parted from them off the Western isles; their destination unknown;
but from their steering a S. W. course, it was conjectured that they were bound for the Cape of Good Hope.
The squadron under Seigal remained off the city of St. Domingo until the 6th February, when a British squadron under admiral Cochrane hove in sight, and a desperate, and to the French a destructive engagement, ensued; for the following particulars of which, we are indebted to an intelligent gentleman who was an eye witness, from an house-top in the city of the whole action, from the firing of the first gun, to the departure of the British squadron.
"St. Domingo, February 6, 1806. "At 6 A. M. the look-out ship of the French squadron was seen firing alarm guns, and an English squadron of 7 sail of the line, 2 frigates, 1 brig and a schooner in chase of her. At half past seven A. M. the French squadron of 5 ships of the line and 2 frigates got under way, and ran to leeward with the sloop of war that was on the look-out: At 30 minutes past 10, the headmost ship of the English (supposed a 74) ran ahead of the French squadron, and brought them to action—In 20 minutes after a British ship of the line fell into action; in ten minutes after 3 ships of the line came into action, and in 75 minutes after the commencement, the action was general—two French ships ran on shore, and two more were dismasted. The action lasted 2 hours and 20 minutes: By this time they were so far off that I was unable to see what ships were taken."
"February 7, several officers and seamen returned from the admiral's ship the Imperial, that was on shore, and said that her three decks were battered away; the admiral and 750 men killed and wounded—the Diomed was also on shore dismasted, in sight of St. Domingo; the other three ships of the line, were now ascertained to be taken, but not certain of the fate of the sloop of war or frigates. At 12 meridian, 3 heavy ships passed the city, steering to the westward, but shewed no colors."
"February 8, at 9 A. M. one of the dismasted ships hove in sight, with a brig and frigate plying about her. At 2 P. M. 4 frigates, 2 ships of the line and a brig passed along the coast reconnoitering about the two ships that were on shore; while the heavy ships kept a straight course, the frigates seemed to keep ranging in with the shore, and had St. George's ensign flying; one of the heavy ships wore blue at the mizen. Night came on and no further observations could be made."
The French admiral was slightly wounded; the captain general had both his legs shot off, and the first and second lieutenants on board the admiral were killed. Officers and seamen were returning to town in a shocking condition The Jupiter and la Brave were both dismasted by the board in the first of the action. The admiral's mast went by the board as she was running on shore. She was silenced nearly a half hour prior to going ashore.
From the above minutes, which were taken down as the incidents which they relate occurred, and from the details we have been able to collect from other sources, it appears, that on the French squadron passing by St. Thomas's some person of that island hired a large row boat and with 20 or more hands plied away to windward up to Tortola, where an armed vessel was lying, which was despatched with the most expedition to admiral Cochrane, at Barbados, who collected all the ships which the urgency of the case would permit, and the force above stated, scoured down to leeward till he overtook the French squadron off the city of St. Domingo; where he captured the Jupiter, 74, Le Brave, 80, and L'Alexandre, 74, and burnt the fine new ship L'Imperial, of 134 guns, and Diomed, 74, after they had been run ashore by their own officers. The action was an obstinate and bloody one; but the precise loss of men, on either side, is not known.
The destruction of this fleet, if their object was accurately stated by the officers who escaped from the ships which were run ashore, is one of the most fortunate events that ever occurred to the insurance offices of America. It was no less than a complete execution of the article of Ferrand, except, possibly, the sanguinary part; but it was at all events to take or destroy every American vessel in the harbours or on the coast of Hayti.
BALTIMORE, March 3. The editor tenders a tribute of his warmest thanks to the commercial friend who politely furnished him with two distinct printed sheets, the contents of both,
in French and Italian, of which the following are translated copies. The paper on which they are printed bears the French stamp, and they appear to have been intended for general circulation. They were received by the late arrival of the Puragan, at this port, from Leghorn and Malaga: She left the former place the 14th of December, and the latter the 15th of January.
BLOODY BATTLE of the 2d DEC. Between the French & Allied forces. (Translated for the American.) Copy of a letter from Marshal Berthier, minister of war and major general of the grand army, to Marshal Massena. PORTOPIZ, 12th Frumaire, } (3d Dec.) year 14th. }
I am impatient, marshal, to send you back your aid de camp to announce to you the brilliant victory which we have just gained over the Russian army. They were drawn out in array before us to the number of 80,000 men, of which 15,000 were Austrians. On the 10th they made a motion in their left wing to attack us, and to surround our right. It was evident they meditated an attack on the 11th. The emperor, as usual with him, prevented this by himself commencing the attack at the break of day. The battle lasted from 7 o'clock in the morning to 5 in the evening. The Russian army was entirely destroyed; 25,000 prisoners taken; 15,000 killed and 120 pieces of cannon taken possession of. The guards of the Russian emperor were attacked by those of the emperor Napoleon: They were entirely discomfited; the colonel and one third of their officers taken, the standard bearer, all their artillery, and in fine the whole body of the guards, as well horse as foot, to the amount of 5000 men, were entirely cut to pieces. Almost all the Russian generals have fallen into our hands. The emperors of Russia and Austria had the greatest difficulty to save themselves across the marshes and a lake, into which they threw themselves, were drowned, experiencing the same fate as the Turks who threw themselves into the sea, at the battle of Aboukir. Our troops are now pursuing the small remains of this army once so arrogant. For further details, your aid de camp will relate to you what he has seen and heard. I have but barely time, marshal, to write to you thus briefly, as you know we have few moments to spare. I have received the letter in which you informed me of your junction with gen. Marmont. The major general, (Signed) M. BERTHIER. A true copy, M. MASSENA, A true copy, general of division, VERDIER.

Globe Tavern.
THIS building, situate in the town of Martinsburg, is to be let—and possession can be had at a short notice. From a superior size, it affords so many conveniences, as to make it, perhaps, better suited to the business of a public-house than any other in this part of the country. The circumstance of its being pretty generally known, may possibly, preclude the necessity of entering into a more particular description. I am also disposed to rent the property immediately on the opposite side of the street adjoining the court-house. These improvements are suited to the reception of a store and a family; the house contains six comfortable rooms; the garden—one of the cellars, and some of the back-buildings are large, and all of a useful kind. This situation opens directly into the court-house yard, and is one of the most public spots in town.

ON the first day of March court, in Berkeley County, will be offered at public sale, on the premises, in Martinsburg, one LOT of Ground and a small part of another Lot, on which are one Stone HOUSE, 43 1-2 feet by 30, one Frame do. 30 by 14, one do. 15 by 12, two large Stables, a stone milk-house, an excellent well of water, which supplies said houses, and from 40 to 50 families more who pay two dollars yearly in advance each family for water, and the waste water abundantly supplies the milk-house; there is also other useful improvements on said lot. The payments are, 300 dollars yearly, until the whole purchase money is paid, to begin the first day of September next.

The houses and one of the stables are insured, the premiums paid and policies ready to be assigned to the purchaser, who will stand in the same situation as to the insurance the subscriber stands in before the sale. The situation and convenience of these buildings, for public or private use, and the advantage of the well of water, will make them rent for about double the rent of any other property in this town that can be had for the same price I will take for this.
