VALUABLE LAND FOR SALE.
THE Subscriber, intending to leave this State, wishes to dispose of the Land he at present resides on. It is a tract of LIGHT HUNDRED ACRES, beautifully situated upon Cape Charles; having the Atlantic upon one side, and the Chesapeake upon another. There is upon it as good a FISHERY as any in Virginia. There are interspersed throughout the plantation, a number of SALT SPRINGS, so strongly impregnated with salt as to bear a new-laid egg. Oysters, Cockles, and Fish of all kinds may be obtained from the waters immediately at the door. The land is very productive, esteemed annually good for 500 barrels Indian Corn, and 2000 bushels of Oats, and is now in capital order. The Fishery alone has yielded, in one spring, upwards of 700L. In short there are but very few Plantations offered for Sale, which unite so many advantages; and nothing but a desire to pursue his professional business could induce the present proprietor to sell it. Should it not be sold before the Fall, it will be leased for a term of years. Conditions will be made known on application to Thomas V. Custis. On the Premises. May 3. tf 1aw 648.
NOTICE. CONCERT-HALL, Boston, May, 1805. THE Subscriber respectfully informs his Friends and the Publick, and those Gentlemen of the Southern States who may visit this part of the Continent, during the summer season, that the house known by the name of Concert Hall, situate in a very central and pleasant part of the town (corner of Court and Hanover Streets) has been fitted up at a very great expense with the gentlest accommodations. Those Gentlemen who may wish for Boarding and Lodging, it is presumed cannot find a more eligible and convenient house, or a more grateful reception than from the present occupants of Concert-Hall, whose assiduity to serve them shall exceed the liberality of their patrons.

MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1805.
The arrival of Captain Walker's Packet from Baltimore, brings nothing interesting. In the Baltimore American of Thursday, we observe, that the President had called a special meeting of the heads of department on the 4th inst. supposed to take into consideration certain transactions of the belligerent powers.
We observe that several of the Editors to the north, insist that there has been an order of council in England, to take into port American vessels, laden with colonial produce of an enemy, and bound to an enemy's port. We have never seen such order, and incline to think that no such order has been issued, but that the captures have been made, in consequence of the decree in the case of the Essex.
PARIS, July 9. On Thursday last, 4th July, his excellency Gen. ARMSTRONG, Minister of the United States of America, gave a sumptuous dinner to his co-patriots who reside in Paris, and many of the dignitaries of the Empire, in celebration of the Anniversary of the day which gave a political existence to the new world. All the French officers who served in the war of Independence, were invited to unite with their ancient companions in arms, to commemorate the epoch. Among the toasts, which were drunk with great enthusiasm, were the following, viz. 1. The Day. 2. The President of the United States. 3. NAPOLEON, EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH—SUCCESS TO HIS ENTERPRISES. 4. The immortal memory of Washington. 5. The memory of the brave men who died fighting against their ancient oppressors. 6. The liberty of the seas. 7. The increase of the American Navy.
We copy the preceding article from the Charleston TIMES, into which paper it was, we presume, copied from a Paris paper. If the facts be as stated in this account, we think it furnishes evidence of the incapacity of our minister at Paris, and is sufficient cause for his recall. As the representative of a neutral nation, nothing could be more indiscreet and undignified than the avowal of such sentiments. The Minister is supposed to speak the sentiments of his Government; we will not do our administration the injustice to suppose that it will approve such conduct. "NAPOLEON, EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH—SUCCESS TO HIS ENTERPRISES!"—That the French who were assembled might choose to flatter their master, is not to be wondered at, but that an American minister, & his countrymen, should be so lost to every sentiment of honour & independence, appears incredible. We should like to know, if, at the moment that this libation was offered up, General Armstrong remembered a conversation which he had with Talleyrand upon the subject of our disputes with Spain, in which, by the Emperor's order, Talleyrand in substance, is said to have stated, "that the Emperor was astonished at the injustice of our demands, that as to compensation for the spoliations, that was given up by our convention with France, and which cleared Spain, that our construction of the limits of Louisiana was a mere trick, that so far was the Emperor from being disposed to employ his good offices with Spain in our behalf, that he expressly signified to the King of Spain, that he should by no means comply with our demands."
A late most curious document of religious history has been given to the world from Dr. Ashbury, Bishop of the Methodist Church. It relates to the increase of that religious sect within 35 years. It announces, that in the United States and Canada, 120,000 persons were in their fellowship, and that one million attended to their ministry, so as to include a seventh part of the whole population of the United States. We cannot say how accurate this general statement may be, but we may pronounce its success in America has been unexampled. It has in America 400 travelling preachers, and 2000 local preachers. It professes to have profited much since the conference in May 1802, and to have held two or three hundred extraordinary meetings with great effect. Salem Reg.
London papers to the 14th August, (four days later than before received) have reached us, by the arrivals from Great Britain. They are not prolific of news. One article, however, which has its source in private communication, deserves some notice:—It says, that a treaty of alliance has actually been signed by the Ministers of Great Britain, Austria, Russia, Sweden, and the Ottoman Porte, in which it is stipulated that the Russian army in the Mediterranean, which is to be augmented to 80,000 men, is to be taken into the pay of Great Britain.—Thus says the article. However, or a similar treaty may be expected, we do not believe that the first information of its being signed would be received in London, in a private letter. We think it probable the British expedition, at Malta, under Craig, is destined to co-operate with the Russians in the south of Europe. Boston Centinel.
A letter from Admiral Villeneuve, dated at Vigo, 10th Thermidor (July 29) acknowledges the loss of the two Spanish ships, which he supposes might have drifted, in their disabled state, into the enemy's line, in the midst of a fog, which was so thick as to prevent his perceiving it, and affording them succour. The two days following the battle, he professes to have endeavoured in vain to renew it with the English, who as assiduously avoided it. On the 7th Thermidor, perceiving his enemy no longer, he directed his course for Ferrol; but contrary winds determined him to anchor at Vigo, from whence, after landing his wounded, &c. and getting water, he should sail again in quest of the English squadron. The loss on board the French ships he states at 44 killed, 95 wounded. On board the Spanish (exclusive of the two taken) 11 killed, 21 wounded.
A letter from Rear Admiral Gourdon, to the minister of war, dated at Ferrol, 14 Thermidor (August 2,) announces, that the combined fleet had just anchored at Corunna—that the English squadron of 13 sail of the line had re-appeared off Ferrol for three days before, but on the appearance of Admiral Villeneuve had drawn off again. N. Y. Paper.
JUDGE BRECKENRIDGE.—Among all the curious productions to which the present turmoil in Pennsylvania have given birth, we have met with none more so than that of Judge Breckenridge, which is
inserted in this day's Gazette, copied from the Cumberland Register. We recommend it to our readers as an article by which they will be amused. [Gaz. U. S.]
From the Cumberland Register.
The publick accusers, at an early stage of opposition to the re-election of the Governor, have made it a ground of objection, that, in compliance with the address of what is alleged to have been the constitutional authority, he did not remove me from the office which I hold, as a judge of the courts. Passing over what may be said relative to the ground of the address, would not the being condemned unheard, be sufficient to justify the governor in not removing; or rather, could he remove without sanctioning by implication the illegality of the procedure? Could he do this without surrendering all pretensions to a knowledge of the laws of humanity, the practice of just men, and the institutions of society? For even amongst the heathen, was not the opportunity of making a defence, a solemn, a sacred principle? We are told that "the chief captain was afraid, (in the case of Paul,) after he knew that he was a Roman and had bound him uncondeemed." The divine word represents even the Omnipotent, as giving a hearing: "And I saw the dead small and great stand before God, and the books were opened." But there were no books opened to me before an earthly and fallible tribunal. What was the gist of my offence? What the affront of my offending? The asking leave to be impeached by the house, to escape the impeachment of the world; which, if it was a weakness, did it deserve degradation from office? Or does it deserve, that I should be pursued through the medium of the Governor, beyond the hour of precipitancy, at the close of a session, to an implied and deliberate censure, on the day of an election? I am an atom, a shadow, a glimmering existence, but the reason and fitness of things are eternal: the foundations of justice are immutable. Let me appeal, not from the houses of the legislative; for they have been from that day to this silent; but from the publick accusers who have called out against the re-election of the governor on my account. Much more justifiable, humbly conceive, would it be in me to remonstrate against the re-election of the addressers in my case; this I do not do; but, in order that my supposed error may as little as possible affect the governor, and to ease a little my own mind, I come forward to aver, which I do most solemnly, that in my letter to the house of representatives, which was made the ground of proceeding against me, by the legislative bodies, and has been the occasion of so much obloquy, and persecution out of doors, I intended no disrespect, but the contrary. Governor McKean, on coming to the chair of the government, had announced that his appointments should not be from amongst his adversaries, or of that cause, then stiled the republican, with which his election was said to be connected. Hence it was that being appointed by him, I fell under the denunciation of republican; and his opponents quitting the election ground for the succeeding years, the legislative body came to be composed of that description of delegates. On the impeachment of the three other judges, the surmise was, that I was spared from party motives. There can be no manner of doubt but the judges themselves were of that opinion; and others certainly did think, or affected to think so. To rebut this, and put an end to all allegation at once, I offered myself to the same issue. It was selfdenial; it was patriotism, and I did expect approbation, not censure; the democratic mind taking pride to itself that it had one capable of such disinterestedness and virtue.
With a view to relieve the governor, I had prepared my resignation, and would have delivered it; but farther reflection, and the opinion of others led me to see, that it was relinquishing a post, in more senses of the word than one, where a stand ought to be made, for the branch of which I was a member; that a resignation might not come to be expected as a matter of course, under like circumstances. Supposing the governor to have had it in his power to remove, and it can only be on this ground, that the item is brought forward, is it not rather an argument for his re-election? I flatter myself, that whatever may be thought of me there is manliness enough in the publick mind to avow this opinion. For it is impossible, that the secret sense of all should not sanction the sentiment. Reason is the governing faculty of the mind, and the powers of government are disposed to restrain precipitancy; and does not that officer deserve approbation, who save from sudden volition and where it is at the risk of popular favour; Is it not adding to his character, fortitude, and firmness? Whatever the present generation may think of it, if I have my knowledge of books, I know what would have been thought of it a long time ago, when resistance to the impulse of passion, and the errors of men in a republick, made the heroes of antiquity. I have no reason to think that the conduct of the governor in my case will do him hurt at this time, nevertheless it has seemed to me not amiss to presume it possible and to endeavour as much as might be to reduce the possibility by stating these particulars, and making these observations. I have endeavoured to express myself with all possible delicacy, having no ill will to any man, knowing the mistakes to which all human affairs are liable, but being guided by a scrupulous apprehension of not doing what I ought to do, when the standing of another is concerned, though remotely, in the opinion entertained of the demerit of my conduct on the occasion to which the publick accusers have alluded, and by which they would seem willing to influence the re-election of the governor; at the same time not admitting that he had the power to remove, but obviating the impressions of those who may be of a contrary opinion; and shewing that even had he had it in his power to yield to the address, he ought not to have done it. I trust that, on the contrary he will be considered as having resisted the madness of the occasion, and received the support of even the addressers themselves on this account. Feeling an uncommon interest in his re-election, from the manner which it has been interwoven with me, it delights me to find (being lately from the Delaware, and having intelligence from the westward) that publick opinion in favour of the re-election is increasing, and where it was at a stand, is beginning to rush like the sluice of a flood gate. The dense clouds of misrepresentation begin to dissipate, and the vapour of the enchanter to disappear. The shades are permeable to light, and we shall have the sun shine of reason and sapience. However, this may be, I hope it will not be found that the item of my case, has contributed to change the governor, or overthrow the constitution. H. H. BRACKENRIDGE. Carlisle, September 23, 1805.
TREATY WITH TRIPOLI.
All the apology which the Ministerial writers now make for the hasty treaty with Tripoli, is, "That the Bashaw had threatened to sacrifice the American prisoners, if General Eaton proceeded in his victorious march into the Regency." We have the best authority for saying, it is false, that the Bashaw ever made such a threat. And the Richmond Enquirer after conversation with captain Bainbridge, and others from Tripoli, contradicts the assertion, and declared, that our prisoners do not recollect to have heard that any menaces of the kind had been thrown out by the Bashaw! Those best acquainted with the situation of the Bashaw, and of his pernicious conduct, declare,
he would not dare to utter the menace; and if he had uttered it, that he never would have dared to put it in execution. None can feel more pleasure than we do, that our fellow-citizens are emancipated; but we do think, that even their pleasures would have been augmented, had their chains been loosed by the conquering arms of their countrymen, instead of being ransomed with money; and that, had Mr. Lear waited one short month longer, they would have been honourably liberated; and as General Eaton says in his letter, have marched in triumph from their dungeons, to their tyrant's palace; and there have displayed the flag of the United States." We have now before us a letter from an officer of the United States Navy, which says, "It has been pleasing to me to embrace some of my old friends, who are now restored to liberty by the peace with Tripoli—The ransom of the prisoners has cost us 60,000 dollars. I do not know how it will be received in America; but it is not generally approved of among the officers of the squadron. Mr. Eaton had succeeded in his mission to the Exiled Bashaw of Tripoli;—had crossed the Desert and taken Derne by storm; and I have no doubt but if he had been supplied with money, we should have celebrated the 4th of July, within the walls of Tripoli." Boston Paper.
FROM THE POLITICAL REGISTER.
Our readers will peruse with emotions of pride and pleasure, the exalted proofs of American gratitude and generosity, exhibited in the communications, in this day's Register, from the meritorious and modest BAINBRIDGE.—They are honourable to our nation, and to humanity.
Where is the heart insensible to such testimonials of worth and insensibility—who can refuse the tribute of heartfelt esteem to the amiable and estimable NISSEN*—who can withhold their applause from the deserving and grateful objects of his regard? And passing to a consideration of the ennobled sentiments, which inspired our benevolent sailors, when they resolved to purchase the emancipation of their task-master and fellow-captive, the kind-hearted NEAPOLITAN, what American but exults in the merit of our generous and gallant tars? Liberal and expanded as the element they navigate, the first moments of their freedom were given to the exercise of gratitude and friendship, which they have displayed in a manner to confer lasting honour on their profession, and their country.—They had felt the privations of slavery, and the little pittance of their pay was cheerfully contributed to rescue even a stranger from similar affliction.—They have given a noble example of generosity to their country, which will, we trust, be improved into acknowledgments correspondent to their worth and their sufferings.
*Not content with administering, by every exertion, to the personal comfort of our captive officers and seamen, the solicitude of this most excellent man was extended to the cultivation and improvement of their minds—selecting from a well chosen library, which he had taken to Tripoli, such books as would either amuse or instruct, it was his constant practice to carry them to the prison, and to replace them as they were wanted. This interesting fact was communicated to the Editor by captain Bainbridge. It would be worthy the munificence of a great nation to mark its sense of such distinguished excellence.
Perth Amboy, 30th September, 1805.
SIR, I enclose you copies of letters which I will thank you to publish in your paper—they will convey (but feebly) to my countrymen, the obligations myself and fellow-sufferers in captivity, were under, to Nicholas C. Nissen, Esq. his Danish majesty's consul to the Regency of Tripoli, for his humane and friendly attention. In fact, had we not met with such a character of philanthropy, as Mr. Nissen, our situation would have been truly deplorable.
I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, Wm. BAINBRIDGE. Major Wm. Jackson, Editor of the Political Register, Philadelphia.
TRIPOLI, in Barbary, 3d June, 1805.
SIR, We, Officers of the United States, late frigate Philadelphia, wrecked on the coast of Tripoli, to do justice to our feelings, address this letter of thanks to you for your kind, humane, and generous conduct during our captivity in this place. The philanthropy which you showed to us at the first moment of our misfortune, and your unremitting attention to the end of it, believe us, Sir, is deeply impressed on our hearts; and we shall never cease to remember it with the warmest gratitude, and to offer our prayers to that being who rewards benevolent deeds for your health and happiness.
We are, with sentiments of great esteem and respect, Your most obedient servants, MR. BAINBRIDGE, Captain.

TRIPOLI, in Barbary, 3d June, 1805.
DEAR SIR, I do myself the honour of enclosing you a letter of thanks from the American naval officers, lately prisoners in Tripoli, for your humane and friendly attention to them during their captivity. The sentiments they have expressed, be assured, are but faint shadows of their feelings:—your kindness is deeply registered in the heart of every individual of them, and no time will ever efface the remembrance of it. I shall not attempt to convey to you a just idea of my own feelings for your disinterested friendship, and the risk which you have run to serve myself and fellow-sufferers, as words would be inadequate to the task; but believe me to be truly impressed with the gratitude which such kindness merits, and that it will ever be one of my greatest pleasures, to hear of your happiness.
I am, dear sir, With sincere esteem, Your friend, and obe'dt. serv't. WILLIAM BAINBRIDGE. NICHOLAS C. NISSEN Esq. Tripoli.
United States Frigate President, Bay of Gibraltar, 27th July, 1805.
DEAR SIR, The officers of the United States late frigate Philadelphia, lately prisoners in Tripoli, having received
ed from Nicholas C. Nissen, Esq. his Danish Majesty's Consul at the Regency, the most humane and friendly attention during their captivity in that place—and being desirous to express their grateful sense of his benevolent services, have agreed to present to him an URN, with a proper emblem: I have, therefore, to request your goodness to take on you the commission of having a suitable one made in London, and delivered to his Danish Majesty's Minister residing at the Court of St. James's, accompanied by the letter herein enclosed. I feel confident, sir, that you will readily comply with my request; and also excuse the trouble attending it, particularly as it is to convey to our friend, a mark of gratitude for his attention.
I have the honour to be, With esteem and respect, Your most obedient servant, WILLIAM BAINBRIDGE. JOHN GAVINO, Esq. Consul for the U. States, Gibraltar.
U. S. Ship President, Bay of Gibraltar, 27th July, 1805.
DEAR SIR, In behalf of myself and officers, I have to request your acceptance of an URN, which accompanies this letter, as a pledge of our grateful sense of your humane and friendly attention to us while captives in Tripoli (Barbary.) We tender you this pledge, not for the nominal value, but as a lasting monument of our gratitude for your benevolence, and with it our best wishes for your health and happiness. I am, dear sir, With sincere esteem; and respect, Your most obed't serv't. WM. BAINBRIDGE. NICHOLAS C. NISSEN, Esq. His Danish Majesty's Consul, Tripoli.
Perth Amboy, 1st August 1805.
SIR, You will oblige me by giving in your paper, a place to the enclosed letters.—The person whom the crew of the Philadelphia released from bondage was a Neapolitan, and one of the drivers over them; and who no doubt would have remained for ever a captive, had it not been for the generosity of those American Tars.
I am respectfully, Your obedient servant, Wm. BAINBRIDGE. Major Jackson, Philadelphia.
Tripoli, 4th June, 1805.
SIR, I enclose you a letter received from the crew of the United States late frigate Philadelphia, you are directed to comply with their very laudable request, and make the charges respectively against them. Yours, Wm. BAINBRIDGE. KEITH SPENCE, Esq. Purser.
Prison, Tripoli, June 2.
A twelvemonth ago, a number of the ships company, proposed a plan for the relief of one of the Neapolitans, who, as far as was in his power, showed our people many kindnesses, it was dropped for that time; our emancipation not admitting of a doubt we have again resumed the same laudable undertaking, and find the majority of the ships company happy to have it in their power to contribute so essentially to the happiness of a fellow creature; upwards of three hundred dollars have been subscribed for that purpose; and it now, sir, rests with you, whether the business shall be completed or not, by advancing the money; each subscriber is willing to give all the security requisite for the reimbursement of the cash—as the time is but short you will oblige us by sending an answer as soon as possible, we earnestly hope that it may be favourable, and that our poor fellow sufferer shall not be left to suffer the bitter pangs of disappointment. With our best wishes for your health and happiness, we remain yours, &c. Stephen Howell, Henry Johnson, James Freese, John Smith, In behalf of the subscribers as per list annexed. To Captain William Bainbridge, Esq.

COOPER'S POINT, 1st September 1805. Respected Friend, Flax being the principal article of domestic manufacture, (wool excepted) in the middle and northern States, perhaps a hint respecting its preparation may be acceptable.
About 18 years past, I purchased a German servant man, who by his account came from the neighbourhood of Russia. I soon after set him and others to spread my flax, the lot not containing the whole, he requested me to let him rot the remainder his own way, which he said was to half rot it in the water and then on the ground, which he did, and the flax so rotted proved the best, softest, and whitest, I had ever seen, and the method pleased my wife and spinners so well, I have practised it ever since, with some alterations as to time.
The process we find to answer best, is, after the seed is beaten off, bind it about the size of common rye sheaves, and about the last of September, or first of October, immerse it in water, stagnated is preferable to running, it should not be more than two feet deep from the surface, and the flax kept entirely under the water about two weeks, but the time should be regulated by the weather, as to heat or cold, we then take it out and spread it thin and even, and turn it as often as occasion may require, after being spread, every rain, fog, dew, or frost, assists in separating the herb, whitening and softening the flax, and extracting the gum, which is the only cause of flax being coarse and harsh, and it is an established fact with those that have tried, that either thread or cloth made from flax prepared in the above manner, is softer, and will whiten in one third of the time that is requisite for that from flax rotted in the common manner.
I believe the principal reason, that water rotting flax, is so little practised in North America, is that those who have tried it find the flax hard and brittle, the cause of which, (I imagine) is putting it in water, in hot weather, when two or three days will rot it sufficient for dressing but will not extract the gum.
A person of my acquaintance from Hibernia, (who is well acquainted with the process of flax preparation,) informs me, that it has been the common practice in Ireland, about 20 or 30 years ago, to let flax remain in the water until sufficiently rotted, but the people in general, finding it did not answer their sanguine expectation, have since adopted the above method with success.
Linen made of flax prepared as above directed, with one boil, will be about the colour of Russia sheeting, which induces me to believe that all the hemp and flax in Russia, is rotted in the same way. And as I am greatly desirous for the improvement of the manufacture of our country, wish my fellow citizens to make a trial, which may be safely done by trying a small part.
If you think the foregoing worth a place in your paper, it will be well to publish it soon, as the season proper for the operation is near at hand. I remain your friend, JOSEPH COOPER. James J. Wilson, Esq.

Selections from British Papers.
There is no longer any doubt that Buonaparte mediates the incorporation of the whole, or at least a very considerable part of Switzerland with France. The usual system has been resorted to, of employing emissaries, who descent every where on the cantonments which the Swiss have experienced for several years past; and labour to convince that unfortunate people that their only hope for the future consists in an union with France.
The Egyptienne, of 48 guns, the hon. captain Fleming, in the late battle with Villeneuve, had nearly captured the galleon for Cadiz, under the care of the French and Spanish fleets, she had on board 15 millions of pieces of eight, received for the king of Spain, and the Egyptienne peppered her so handsomely that she fast dropped to leeward, and would have been captured had it not been for two line of battle ships bearing down, and by a very heavy fire on the Egyptienne, forced her to leave her rich prize, which they took in tow, and secured: our frigate had her mizen-top mast carried away by the fire of the enemy.
From the conversation of the Spanish officers, it is very clear that Villeneuve's orders were not to fight any British fleet, even if very inferior; if he could help it, on account of this enormously rich vessel. With a very emphatic shrug they add, it was generally believed in their fleet to have been two years subsidy due from the Spanish King to his august Majesty Buonaparte. This galleon has been three years abroad, is an old eighty gun ship, and carries fifty guns, light metal, and 30 men.
It is a curious fact, that the natives of Owhyhee, where captain Cook lost his life, have, since the era of the well known voyage of captain Vancouver, made astonishing advances to dexterity and skill in our most useful European arts. Tama-hama, the king, is another Peter the Great. Capt. Vancouver laid down the keel of his first vessel in 1792. He is now master of more than twenty vessels, some even copper-bottomed, of different sizes, from twenty-five to fifty tons. He encourages Europeans to settle in the island, provided they are industrious, and acquainted with the arts which may be of use to him. He has a company of body guards whom he makes to imitate the European discipline. He has a palace, built in the fashion of Europe, of brick with glass windows. His subjects have learned to make trading voyages, as far as the north west coast of America. He has accumulated larger stores of fire arms, gun powder, hardware, and cloth of different sorts than he has occasion to consume. As it is a truth, however surprising it may appear, that he and his subjects already meditate the design of a trade with China, to be carried on in vessels of their own construction, navigated by their own people. The population of Owhyhee and the other Sandwich Isles have increased considerably since they were first discovered. On the contrary that of Atheite has, in between thirty and forty years, been diminished by dissoluteness, idleness, child murder, small pox, and the venereal disease, from 200,000 souls to little more than 5,000.
When it was first determined to colonize New Holland, or as it is commonly called, South Wales, with the refuse of our population, we little expected that within a few years those outcasts would be enabled to advance the commercial prosperity of the parent country. The Lady Barlowe has lately been freighted at Sidney, with the following articles of colonial produce for the London market: fine sea elephant oil, 364 tons; seal skins, 13,730; the oak, or beat wood, 3673 solid feet.
The German Journals cite a very extraordinary example of longevity. A man is now living at Poson, in Poland, in his 138th year: he was born at Oletzow, in 1667, of obscure parents, and was unmarried till he was 60 years of age.
LIVERPOOL, August 15.
We have, in another part of this paper, noticed, that accounts from Hamburg state the sale of Swedish Pomerania to Russia. The bargain and sale of the subjects is undoubtedly an infamous traffick, degrading to human nature, not at all congenial to the well-known disposition of the Emperor Alexander, and of which no man of justice or philanthropy can approve: But for other reasons, perhaps more cogent than these, we are inclined to think the story has been rather too hastily taken up by the London papers. Russia may assume the sovereignty of Tartar hordes without opposition, she may shake the Persian throne, and extend her dominion to the Arabian sea and to the wall of China without fear—she may even establish settlements on the Phasis and in the islands of the Mediterranean without exciting the jealousy of the powers of Europe, but no part of the Germanick Empire can be disposed of or its sovereignty transferred without the formal sanction of the Head of the Empire, and the Diet of Ratisbon. Instead, therefore, of conciliating Austria or the other States by such a measure, both Russia and Sweden would, by its illegality, render them altogether unfriendly to their views. It is said, indeed, that Sweden is incapable of maintaining the sovereignty of Pomerania against the designs of France, and that the possession of it would give to Russia the right of taking part in the affairs, and acting for the benefit of the Empire. But Pomerania would be equally secure by placing it under the protection of Russia; and surely Alexander would not wish to have what would at best be a disputable title to interfere, possessing as he now does, one which is completely recognized, in his capacity of guarantee of the peace of the empire. Indeed, under every just point of view, the statement is unworthy of credit, and is, in fact, nothing but the revival of a report which was in circulation at Hamburg so far back as the middle of last May.
In "The first report of the British and Foreign Bible Society," printed the present year in London, we find the following letter from Dr. Druck, Professor of History, and Librarian to the Elector Wurttemberg, relative to the different translations of the Bible in the Library of the Elector.
TRANSLATION.
I have received your letter, in which you have informed me of the formation of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and expressed a wish to receive some account of the different translations of the Bible in the Library of the Elector of Wurttemberg. When I read your letter, I could not help thinking the English are the most distinguished people in the world. Had we possessed in Germany the utmost tranquility and prosperity, yet such a noble design of diffusing the Bible would scarcely have entered our minds, or in case it had, would not have met with such generous encouragement and support. One cannot but highly esteem such a nation, and the more so on account of its regard for that best of books, which, though now shamefully neglected, has ever proved, and will continue to be, the great means of ameliorating the condition of mankind. This sacred volume is of the utmost importance, as it is adapted to men of every station of life, from the highest to the lowest, and suited to every possible circumstance;
which characteristic of the Bible appears to me to be a great argument for its divine origin. But to come to the answer of your enquiry: the collection of Bibles in the Library of the Elector, which has been made in Copenhagen by a clergyman of the name of Lork, and afterwards was brought hither, amounts to more than 4000 different editions of the whole Bible, or of distinct parts of the same. I send you now a register of such translations only, as may be interesting to your purpose.
The list is as follows—viz.
  8 of Modern Greek 14 Icelandic   28 Arabick 3 Greenlandick   13 Ethiopick 2 Creole   7 Persian 1 Fanteick or A CRAICK   6 Turkish 45 Swedish   1 Coptick 6 Finnish   5 Armenian 3 Lapponick   13 Tamulick 1 Russian   6 Hindooctanse 3 Croatian   14 Malay 21 Bohemian   1 Cingalese 10 Wendish   35 Upper German 20 Polish   18 Portuguese 6 Lithuanian   15 Spanish 7 Lettonian   13 Italian 4 Esthonian   220 French 7 Hungarian   1 Rhaetian 5 Welsh   115 Saxon 1 Irish   215 English 1 Cantabrian   275 Dutch 2 North American Indian   116 Danish 
Since the purchase of this library, the collection of Bibles has been considerably augmented, not, however with any new translation in foreign tongues, but only with scarce editions in well known western languages, or in the original text.
Besides, I beg leave to observe, that those above stated, do not all contain an edition of the whole Bible; for instance, that of the modern Greek, contains only the New Testament. Should you think it necessary, you could easily obtain a complete catalogue of the whole collection, by applying to a friend in Altona, where it was printed, in the year 1787, in five small quarto volumes. Mr. Koerner, the Russian counsellor of state, is much obliged to you for your kind remembrance, but is not able to give you any accurate account of the present state of Bibles in the Russian empire, having been only in Petersburg, and that among the higher ranks. As far as I know, the Russian translation of the Bible cannot be much in the hands of the common people there, it not being printed with the types in common use, but with those used for ecclesiastical purposes. Permit me but one observation more, the translation into the Croatian language was made and printed partly in the university of Tubingen, partly in the town of Urach, both of which are in the Duchy of Wurtemberg. Peculiar types are cast there for this purpose. The imperial general Tilly seized on those types in the religious war between the Papists and Protestants, called the thirty years' war; and made a present of them to Rome, where they came into the possession of the Propaganda.—From thence they were taken, during the French revolution, and carried to Paris, where they are now deposited.
EXHORTATION OF DOCTOR TROY.
DUBLIN, July 24, 1805.
Dear Christians,
Our inexpressible concern at the rebellious outrages in this city, during last night, is only equalled by our surprise and astonishment at their having taken place, when we flattered ourselves that a returning sense of religious duties, and the sad recollection of similar calamities, would have effectually prevented a repetition of them. You cannot forget our frequently exhortations to a loyal and peaceable demeanour, nor our repeated instructions on the religious obligation of allegiance to the King, obedience to the laws, and respect for all those constituted by Divine Providence to govern us, so forcibly enjoined by our Divine Redeemer and his apostles, and constantly exemplified in the submissive conduct of all good Christians, under every form of established government, whether administered by Infidel, Mahometan, or Christian rulers of any denomination. You cannot plead ignorance of these principles of the Catholic religion, in justification or extenuation of any deviation from the observance of them, which is still more inexcusable and aggravated by the ingratitude of such Roman Catholicks, as are or may be concerned in the recent or any other rebellious proceedings, or connected with any seditious associations, after the many great benefits conferred on their body in this kingdom, during his present majesty's auspicious reign. Has his excellency, Earl Hardwicke, the present chief governor of this kingdom, provoked discontent, or excited jealousies? Far otherwise—conciliation has been the prominent feature of his excellency's mild administration. Has not the munificent attention of his excellency and his amiable consort, to the manufacturing poor, and the charitable institutions in this city, merited a return of gratitude and affection to their excellencies, instead of outrageous contempt of his high authority and the laws? To what principle, then, can we ascribe the horrid rebellious scenes of last night? It would be difficult to particularise it, if we were not acquainted with the too successful endeavours of modern French writers and legislators, usurping the title of 'Philosophers,' which they disgrace, in mis-taking the rights and disregarding the duties of man, in their infidel and seditious publications.
The promises of an undefined Equality, and of Liberty to be licentious, held out by those Constitution Makers, impose on the ignorant and credulous, who insensibly become familiarised with guilt, and perpetrate the greatest crimes without remorse, under the pretence of establishing a free government.
What have been the consequences of such doctrines and practices in France? We shudder at the recollection of the authorised treasons, murders, private assassinations, sacrileges, rapine, enormities of all kinds, committed in the name of the sovereign people to destroy the monarchy; which, a frightful anarchy is succeeded by a more absolute and arbitrary government, maintaining its authority by military despotism. Such is the boasted freedom of that once happy people!
Is it by them you hope to be protected? What greater reasons have you to expect freedom than Holland, Switzerland, Belgium, Milan, Piedmont, Savoy, and other States, formerly enjoying the blessings of civilized society, and their ancient established regular governments in peace and security, but now degraded to the condition of conquered provinces, by the alluring and deceitful promises of France, and groaning under the evils of French fraternity? Do not, dear Christians, be likewise deceived. Be unanimous in resisting foreign invasion and aggression, from whatever enemy it may be attempted. Preserve your honour, by evincing that loyalty which our holy religion inculcates. Fear God—honour the King—Obey and respect your superiors of every description. Be subject to higher powers; for there is no power but from God; and those that are, are ordered of God; therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist purchase to themselves damnation.
Wherefore be subject of necessity, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Such dear Christians, is the doctrine of the Catholic church, recorded in holy writ, and expressly
taught in your catechisms—the exercise of your religion—your persons and property are protected by the laws. Avoid, then, all combination, all associations, clubs, or meetings, tending to subvert or violate them, or to weaken your allegiance to our beloved Sovereign, who does not carry the sword in vain; for he is the Minister of God, and avenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Let the untimely fate of the wicked or deluded abettors of rebellion, and even of the many innocent who have suffered, and must unfortunately suffer, during the progress of rebellion, deter you from associating with the seditious of any description, and much more from assisting or encouraging them in their rebellious practices and views, which if successful, even for a day would ruin your country.
Above all, dear Christians, let the fate of your immortal souls be constantly in your contemplation. Secure to yourselves, with the assistance of Divine Grace an eternity of bliss, by observing the Commandments of God, and precepts of the Church, which enjoin allegiance to the King, obedience and respect to superiors. We cannot too strongly enforce these duties in the present times. Remember that the violation or neglect of them, if unrepented of, will subject you to calamities in this life, and endless punishment in the next. May the Lord, in his mercy, avert those dreadful evils! Amen.
J. T. TROY.
LORD WELLESLEY AND THE INDIA-HOUSE.
The statement in the newspapers, first that the office of the secretary of state for the colonies, and next that the board of control was in keeping for Marquis Wellesley, has brought out the following re- presentation.
The report that Lord Castlereagh holds the board of control only until Lord Wellesley's arrival from India is totally without foundation. After a contest the most arduous and severe ever maintained by the court of directors, after an unceasing struggle for four years—that body at last prevailed and got Lord Wellesley removed from the government of India, to make way for marquis Cornwallis, whose opinions they knew to be diametrically opposite to those of lord Wellesley.
In every point since the conclusion of the war with Tippoo, on the free trade, on the Hyderabad and Poona Subsidies, on the interference of the Mahratta politics, on the extension of dominion, on the college, on the employment of his brother, on the new palace, on the enormous expense of the body-guard, on the investment, and the profuse expenditure introduced into every branch of the service, of the employment of military men instead of civilians at the foreign courts and at Prince of Wales's Island; in short to the whole system of lord Wellesley's government the directors have shown a direct and marked hostility and his lordship a pertinacity and adherence to his own contrary opinions in no ways inferior to those of the directors themselves, whom avowedly, collectively, and individually he holds in the highest possible contempt, and the pride of whose life it would be to overturn and destroy. So circumstanced it is probable, or would it be wise or even safe, in any minister to attempt to place at the head of the board of control, a man with whom the directors and the whole body of the East India proprietors who support them, must meet in open hostility, and against whom they must contend even for existence? No doubt Mr. Pitt will endeavour to soothe, in some way or other the disgrace, and the wounded spirit of his favourite, lord Wellesley; a blue ribband will be the safest for the minister when it will be the most gratifying to the nature and pride of that nobleman: but any publick employment until a full and fair investigation and acquittal of the charges to be preferred in the next session of parliament against the noble lord, is totally out of the question.
The state of the company's affairs, by the very latest accounts from Bengal, is the most deplorable, notwithstanding the success that for two years has attended the British arms. The country acquired from Tippoo, from the Nizam, in lieu of subsidy, the assumption of the Carnatick the subsidy from Poona, in consequence of the treaty of Bassein. The provinces taken from the nabob of Oude, Culpur, and Tilonia, from the heirs of Ali Bahadur, in Bundelcund, the provinces of Cullah, from the Rajah of Berar, and the whole of the Duani to beyond Delhi and Agrah, from Dula- Rai Scinder, produce a revenue of upwards of ten millions of pounds sterling, yearly. Since these acquisitions, however, and the consequent enormous increased yearly income, upwards of fourteen millions have been added to the permanent debt of the country in India alone, and the investment of 1804-5, which was fixed at 110 lacks of rupees, has been reduced by lord Wellesley, for want of funds, and closed finally at 58 lacks only. To secure assets, new loans were opened towards the close of last year, at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, and orders issued to all the collectors throughout India, to receive subscriptions to these loans, which had, however, utterly failed. The utmost government could procure, was the savings of the army, the prize money, and the subscriptions of their civil servants and contractors, who received their salaries and payments in paper bearing eight per cent. per ann. instead of their running in arrears, and such paper is, at the option of the holders, payable in England at the rate of 2s. 6d. for a rupee. Every payment for the current expenses of government was made in what lord Wellesley calls Treasury Bills, which are issued in sums as low as 50 rupees, and bear an interest of six and an half per cent. Such may be depended on was the state of things, when the latest accounts arrived from India. Happily lord Cornwallis will just arrive in time to prevent a most expensive excursion that lord Wellesley contemplated in July and August to the Upper Provinces."

ON EDUCATION.
From Gregory's Essays.
The following appear to be the principal advantages resulting from a classical education. First, It is the best introduction to the use of reason; and habituates the mind to labour, at a period when it is scarcely capable of any other labour than that of learning languages. Secondly, It is the readiest way to a knowledge of our vernacular tongue, with respect to etymology, construction, and even orthography. Thirdly, The Grammar of the Latin language is the most regular that I know, and therefore fittest to perfect a young person in that science.
A Schoolmaster ought not only to be well accomplished in the sciences he professes, but he ought to be a man zealous in the cause of virtue; and of so amiable a deportment, as to recommend it by his example to his pupils. Good temper is generally agreed upon as an indispensable requisite in a Schoolmaster; for if he be observed to give way to resentment, all the good effects of his authority are at an end.* Yet a Schoolmaster may be too tame; for then the boys will be liable to contract habits of indolence or neglect: he should be quick without passion, so as to inspire his pupils with a suitable degree of alertness and industry.
It has been objected, that a classical education loses time in acquiring words only, when ideas ought to be acquired. This objection (though in a great measure unjust) would certainly be without any colour of reason, if a plan could be proposed for uniting both these purposes; if by a proper choice of books we could contrive to store the mind, moral ideas as are adapted to its capacity.
The first branch of science that youth is capable of comprehending, appears to be history. On the knowledge of facts, all moral reasoning must depend; and facts learned in youth are certainly better retained than those which are acquired at any succeeding period. Young boys are most interested in narrative (indeed there is hardly any other kind of composition that can engage them;) and I have generally
* I would beat you (said Plato to his boy,) if I were not in a passion.—Diog. Laert. Vit. Plat.
found them more delighted with true history and biography, if not prolix, than with poetry or novels. The tales of love, and the minutiae of private life, do not arrest their attention so much as the adventures of heroes, and the vicissitudes of war. Now, although learning be a business rather than an amusement, certainly the more acceptable it can be made to the pupils, the better. On these principles, therefore, I would venture to deviate a little from the common order of school-books, which Schoolmasters are more anxious to select for the purity of the Latin, than for any real instruction or entertainment they contain.
I would not be understood to insinuate, that the acquisition of the language, in the most perfect manner, is not a primary object; but I am of opinion, with the judicious author of a Treatise of Liberal Education , lately published, that at a time when books are read only to exemplify grammatical rules, purity and elegance are not so much required, as when the scholar is more advanced. The initiatory books, I apprehend, have little influence in forming the taste; before that effect can take place, it is necessary to be master of the rudiments, to read the language with ease, and to be able to consider it with something of a critical eye. It may please the vanity of a parent to be told, that his boy is Virgil or Ovid ; and it may answer the master's purpose in a pecuniary view, to encourage this absurd vanity; but in the mean time the real interest of the pupil is sacrificed. For what can be more ridiculous, than to involve a child, who is yet unacquainted with the literal meaning of words, in all the obscurities of figurative and poetical diction; and, before he has acquired any ideas upon common things, to expect that he should feel and admire the highest efforts of the human imagination?
The books, which I would recommend as proper to initiate children in the learned languages, should be plain prose, simple, easy to be construed, and dispensing such knowledge as is adapted to their capacities. I would lead them by just gradations from unadorned language, and plain fact, to elegance of style, elevation of thought, and more abstract sentiment.
After a few of the dialogues of Cordery, fables, or any very easy Latin, just sufficient to show them the nature of construing, I thing Eutropius the most proper book. It is an abridgment of perhaps the most important series of events which the annals of this globe can produce; it is one of the easiest books to be read, and the style is clear though not elegant. After Eutropius, the young scholar may have an excellent taste of biography in the lives of Cornelius Nepos, which, in point of difficulty, is properly the next step above Eutropius. Justin may be read with the greatest advantage after the other two: he is not remarkable for the graces of style; but he collects so many useful facts in the history of mankind, and is, as I can testify from experience, so delightful a book to boys, that the advantage to be derived from the perusal of him infinitely counterbalance this objection. If the pupils cannot go through the whole of these authors, the parts which they read may be chosen so as to connect together, and afford them a general view of the progress and termination of the principal states of antiquity. Let them next read the most interesting parts of Cæsar and Sallust, and some of Cicero's orations. A good set of ancient maps ought to be made use of while they are reading history; and thus geography will be insensibly acquired; and more firmly implanted, than by any other process.
Until they can construe such Latin as Cæsar's Commentaries tolerably fluently, without the aid of a dictionary, and have gone at least once through a set of the common school exercises, such as Garrison's or Bailey's, no other language, not even Greek, should interfere with the Latin; otherwise the memory will be confused by the different Grammars. But by the time they have finished the course of reading already specified, it is presumed they will be capable of undertaking the study of Greek. Their minds also will now be matured, and sufficiently cultivated to relish the charms of poetry, of which the Æneid is the chaste and most captivating specimen. To the discretion of the master it may be left to determine, how much of the Æneid can be read at school with advantage. Some of the moral Odes, all the unexceptionable Satires and Epistles, of Horace may follow, and a few of the Satires of Juvenal; varying occasionally the course of their studies by an oration of Tully, the Cato Major, the Lælius, or the Offices. Ovid and Terence I will venture to proscribe; the former, because he inculcates licentiousness; the latter, knavery. I know no spirit sooner caught by boys, than that little tricking disposition, that spirit of low cunning, which may be learned from some parts of this author. In the comedies of Terence, the father is often a fantastical or an avaricious fool; the son a profligate; and the servant, who is the cream of the jest, a complete villain. The purity of his Latin, and the delicacy of his style, will not, in my estimation, compensate for the danger which it incurred by the imitative faculties of youth. As for Ovid, there is another objection against him, for he corrupts the taste as well as the morals: a part of the thirteenth book of the Metamorphoses may, however, be read with advantage. I wish much to see a judicious selection, for the use of schools, of all the moral and unexceptionable parts of Horace and Juvenal, which would present us with a most agreeable compendium of moral learning. A few pages might be bestowed upon Ovid, as a specimen of his style and genius.
