TREATY OF PEACE. Napoleon, by the Grace of God, and the constitution of the empire, emperor of the French, king of Italy, protector of the league of the Rhine, &c. Having seen and considered the treaty concluded, determined, and signed at Vienna, on the 14th of this month, by the Sieur Nompere de Champagny, our minister for foreign affairs, in virtue of the full powers, to that end given him by us, and the prince John of Lichtenstein, marshal of the armies of his majesty the emperor of Austria, equally provided with full powers—which Treaty is of the following tenor: "His majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, protector of the league of the Rhine, mediator of the league of Switzerland; and his majesty the emperor of Austria, king of Hungary and Bohemia, being equally animated with the desire of putting an end to the war which has arisen between them, have resolved to negotiate forthwith a definitive treaty of peace, and for that purpose have appointed as their plenipotentiaries, namely: "His majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, protector of the league of the Rhine, the Sieur Jean Baptiste Nompere, count de Champagny, duke of Cadore, grand eagle bearer of the legion of honour, commander of the order of the iron crown, knight of the order of St. Andrew of Russia, grand dignitary of that of the two Sicilies, grand cross of the orders of the black and red eagles of Prussia, of the order of St. Joseph of Wurzburg, of the order of fidelity of Baden, of the order of Hosse Darmstadt, his majesty's minister for foreign affairs; and his majesty the emperor of Austria, king of Hungary and Bohemia, the Sieur prince John of Lichtenstein, knight of the order of the golden fleece, grand cross of the order of Maria Theresa, chamberlain, marshal of the armies of his said majesty the emperor of Austria, and proprietary commander of a regiment of horse in his service— "Who, having previously exchanged their full powers, have agreed upon the following articles: "Art. I. There shall, from the day of the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty, be peace and friendship between his majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, protector of the league of the Rhine, and his majesty the emperor of Austria, king of Hungary and Bohemia, their heirs and successors, their states and subjects respectively, for ever. "Art. II. The present peace is also declared to be common to his majesty the king of Spain, his majesty the king of Holland, his majesty the king of Naples, his majesty the king of Bavaria, his majesty the king of Wirtemberg, his majesty the king of Saxony, and his majesty the king of Westphalia, his most eminent highness the prince Primate, their royal highnesses the grand duke of Baden, the grand duke of Berg, the grand duke of Hesse-Darmstadt, the grand duke of Wurzburg, and all the princes and members of the league of the Rhine, the allies, in the present war, of his majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, protector of the league of the Rhine. "Art. III. His majesty the emperor of Austria, king of Hungary and Bohemia, cedes, as well for himself, his heirs and successors, as for the princes of his house, their heirs and respective successors, the principalities, lordships, domains, and territories, hereinafter mentioned, and also all titles which may accrue from the possession of the same; and all properties, whether manorial or held by them under an especial title, lying within the said territories. "1. He cedes and transfers to his majesty the emperor of the French, to form a part of the league of the Rhine, and to be placed at his disposition for the interest of the sovereigns of the league: "The territories of Salzburg and Berchtesgaden; that part of Upper Austria, situate on the further side of a line running from the Danube, at the village of Straas, therein comprehending Weissenkirchen, Wedersdorff, Wichelbach, Greist, Muckenhausen, Helst and Jedina; thence in the direction of Schwandstadt, the town of Schwandstadt on the Alter, and thence ascending along the bank of that river, and the lake of the same name, to the point where the lake touches upon the territory of Salzburg. "His majesty the emperor of Austria shall only retain in property the woods, belonging to the Salzkammer Gut, and forming part of the manor of Mondsee, with liberty to cut and carry thence the brushwood, but without enjoying any right of sovereignty upon that territory. "2. He also cedes to his majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, the county of Goritz, the manor of Montefalcone, the government and city of Trieste, Carniola, with its dependencies on the Gulf of Trieste, the Circle of Willach, in Carinthia and all the territories lying on the right hand of the Save, from the point where that river leaves Carniola, along its course to where it touches the frontiers of Bosnia; namely, a part of Provincial Croatia, six districts of Military Croatia, Fiume, and the Hungarian Littorale, Austrian Istria, or the district of Castua, the islands depending on the ceded territories, and all other territories, howsoever named, upon the right bank of the Save—the middle stream of the said river serving as the boundary between the two states. "Lastly, the lordship of Raduns lying in the Granbunderland. "3. He cedes and makes over to his majesty the king of Saxony, the territory of Bohemia depending upon, and included in the territory of the kingdom of Saxony; namely, the parishes and villages of Guntersdorff, Tanbantranke, Gerlochsheim, Lengersdorff, Schirgiswald, Winikel, &c. "4. He cedes and makes over to the king of Saxony, to be united to the duchy of Warsaw, the whole of Wester or New Galicia, a district round Cracow, on the right bank of the Vistula, to be hereafter ascertained, and the Circle of Zamosc, in Eastern Galicia. "The district round Cracow, upon the right bank of the Vistula, shall, in the direction of Podgorze, have for its circumference the distance from Podgorze to Wieliczka. The line of demarcation shall pass through Wieliczka, and to the western touch upon Scawina, and to the eastward upon the Beck, which falls into the Vistula at Bradecy.
"Wieliczka and the whole of the territory of the Salt-pits shall belong in common to the emperor of Austria, and the king of Saxony. Justice shall be administered therein in the name of the municipal power; there shall be quartered there only the troops necessary for the support of the police, and they shall consist of equal numbers of those of both nations. The Austrian Salt from Wieliczka, in its conveyance over the Vistula, and through the duchy of Warsaw, shall not be subject to any toll-duties. Corn of all kinds, raised in Austrian Galicia, may also be freely exported across the Vistula. "His majesty the emperor of Austria, and his majesty the king of Saxony, may form such an arrangement with regard to these boundaries, as that the San, from the point where it touches upon the circle of Zamosc, to its confluence with the Vistula, shall serve as the line of demarcation between both states. "5. He cedes and makes over to his majesty the emperor of Russia, in the easternmost part of Galicia, a tract of territory containing a population of 400,000 souls, the city of Bradi being, nevertheless, not therein included. This territory shall be amicably ascertained by commissioners on the part of both empires. "IV. The Teutonic order having been abolished in the States of the league of the Rhine, his majesty the emperor of Austria, in the name of his imperial highness the archduke Anthony, abdicates the grand mastership of that order in his states, and recognizes the dispositions taken with regard to the property of the order, locally situated out of the Austrian territory. Pensions shall be assigned to those who have been on the civil establishment of the order. "V. The debts funded upon the territory of the ceded provinces, and allowed by the states of the said provinces, or accruing from expenses incurred for their administration, shall alone follow the fate of those provinces. "VI. The provinces which are to be restored to his majesty the emperor of Austria, shall be administered for his behoof by the Austrian constituted authorities, from the day of exchanging the ratification of the present treaty; and the imperial domains, wheresoever situated, from the first of November next. It is nevertheless understood, that the French army in this country shall take for their use whatever articles cannot be supplied by their magazines for the subsistence of the troops and the wants of the hospitals; and also whatever shall be necessary for the conveyance of their sick, and the evacuation of the magazines. "An arrangement shall be made between the high contracting parties respecting all war contributions, of whatever denomination, previously imposed on the Austrian provinces occupied by the French and allied troops; in consequence of which arrangement the levying of said contributions shall cease from the day of the exchange of the ratifications. "VII. His majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, engages to give no obstruction to the importation or exportation of merchandise into and from Austria, by way of the port of Fiume; this, nevertheless, not being construed to include English goods or manufactures. The transit duties on the goods thus imported or exported, shall be lower than upon those of all other nations, the kingdom of Italy excepted. "An inquiry shall be instituted, to ascertain whether any advantages can be allowed to the Austrian trade, in the other ports ceded by this treaty. "VIII. The titles of domains, archives, plans and maps of the countries, towns, and fortresses ceded, shall be given up within two months after the period of the ratification. "IX. His majesty the emperor of Austria, king of Hungary and Bohemia, engages to discharge the yearly interest, arrears, and capitals, invested in securities of the government, states, bank, lottery, or other publick establishments, by subjects, companies, or corporate bodies in France, the kingdom of Italy and the grand duchy of Berg. "Measures shall also be taken, to completely liquidate the sum due to Mont St. Theresa, now Mons Napoleon, at Milan. "X. His majesty the emperor of the French engages to procure a full and complete pardon for the inhabitants of the Tyrol and Vorarlberg, who have taken a part in the insurrection; so that they shall not be prosecuted either in person or property. "His majesty the emperor of Austria equally engages to grant a full and complete pardon to those inhabitants of the territories of Galicia, of which he returns into possession, whether civil or military, publick officers, or private individuals, who have taken part in the levying of troops, or the formation of judicial or municipal administrations; or in any other proceeding whatsoever during the war, which inhabitants shall not be prosecuted in their persons or property. "They shall have permission, during a period of six years, to dispose of their properties, of whatever description they may be; to sell their estates, even those that have been considered inalienable, such as fidei commissaria, and majoratus; to leave the country, and to carry with them the produce of their sales, in specie, or effects of any other description, without paying any duty for the same, or experiencing any difficulty or obstruction. "The same permission, and for the same period, shall be reciprocally allowed to the inhabitants and landholders in the territories ceded by the present treaty. "The inhabitants of the duchy of Warsaw, possessing landed estates in Austrian Galicia, whether publick officers or private individuals, shall enjoy the revenues thereof, without paying any duty thereon, or experiencing any obstruction. "XI. Within six weeks from the exchange of the present treaty, posts shall be erected to mark the boundaries of Cracow, upon the right bank of the Vistula. For this purpose there shall be appointed Austrian, French, and Saxon commissioners. "The same measures shall be adopted within the same period upon the frontiers of Upper Austria, Salzburg, Willach, and Carinthia, to define the Saave. The Thaler (stream) shall be considered to determine what islands of that river shall belong to each power. For this purpose French and Austrian commissioners shall be nominated. "XII. A military convention shall be entered into, to regulate the respective boundaries in which the various provinces restored to his majesty the emperor of Austria shall be comprised. The said convention shall be adjusted on the basis that Moravia shall be evacuated in four months, and the part of Galicia which remained in

the city and district of Vienna in one month; Lower Austria in two months; and the remaining districts and territories not ceded by this treaty shall be evacuated by the French troops, and those of their allies, in two months and a half, or earlier if possible, from the exchange of the ratifications.
This convention shall regulate all that relates to the execution of the hospitals and magazines of the French army, and the entrance of the Austrian troops into the territories evacuated by the French or their allies, and also the evacuation of that part of Croatia ceded by the present treaty to his majesty the emperor of the French.
XIII. The prisoners of war taken by France and her allies from Austria, and by Austria from France and her allies, that have not yet been released, shall be given up within fourteen days after the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty.
XIV. His majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, protector of the league of the Rhine, guarantees the inviolability of the possessions of his majesty the emperor of Austria, king of Hungary and Bohemia, in the state to which they shall be, in consequence of the present treaty.
XV. His majesty the emperor of Austria recognizes all the alterations which have taken place, or may subsequently take place in Spain, Portugal, and Italy.
XVI. His majesty the emperor of Austria, desirous to co-operate in the restoration of a maritime peace, accedes to the prohibitory system with respect to England, adopted by France and Russia, during the present maritime war. His imperial majesty shall break off all intercourse with Great Britain, and with respect to the English government, place himself in the situation he stood in previous to the present war.
XVII. His majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, and his majesty the emperor of Austria, king of Hungary and Bohemia, shall observe, with respect to each other, the same ceremonial as regards rank and other points of etiquette, as between the present war.
XVIII. The ratifications of the present treaty shall be exchanged within six days, or sooner if possible.

November 8.
The inhabitants of Hamburg, after having been for years exhausted by the repeated exactions of the French, are at last about to experience the tender mercies of the head of that government. They are at present, as became one of the appendages to the great nation, under the title of a member of the confederation of the Rhine. This, of course, implies the most devoted adherence to the fortunes and system of Buonaparte. The only consolation we can find in this arrangement is derived, from the bitter disappointment which the court of Copenhagen must feel. His Danish majesty made sure of the annexation of this territory to Holstein. We have been favoured with the following extract on this subject:
Hamburg, October 24, 1809.
Mr. Reinhard, who formerly was the French minister here, is arrived. Since his arrival, it is confidently reported, that he comes to advise, that the senate of Hamburg, by themselves, or jointly with the other Hanseatic towns, should entreat the emperor of the French to be incorporated with the confederation of the Rhine. In case of their not complying with this advice, he has intimated to them that the fate of these towns would be very likely decided in a more unfavourable manner; as they would either be given a way as a present, or incorporated into some other state. The town therefore, to maintain in some degree, its independence, will have no other choice than to attach itself to the confederation, and in fact, this may be considered as actually done.
A gentleman who has spent the last two years in France and Spain, during which he had access to the best sources of information, has favoured us with some particulars relating to the state of publick opinion in these countries. In the higher classes of the French, with whom he chiefly associated, he discovered that the ambitious projects of Buonaparte were held in very general detestation. In addition, where the persons who composed them had sufficient confidence in each other to deliver their sentiments freely, his invasion of Spain, and perfidy towards his ally, Charles IV, were spoken of in terms of abhorrence. This gentleman confirms the reports that reached this country some time back of Talleyrand's disgrace; which is known to have been produced by the warm and repeated remonstrances made to Buonaparte on the subject of his invasion of the Peninsula. This minister does not hesitate to proclaim in every company the unmerited and unmerited treatment he has experienced.
The temper of Buonaparte our informant describes as most irritable and overbearing. The following instance of its violence occurred a few days after his arrival at Madrid: An aide-de-camp, from connivance or negligence, suffered a prisoner of some consideration to escape, the enraged emperor ordered him into his presence. The instant the offender was ushered in, he sprang from his seat and actually knocked down the poor Spaniard with his fist, and after discharging a rapid volley of invectives, threats and imprecations, ordered him to be dragged off by the attendants. The presence of several French officers of rank did not seem in the smallest degree to make him feel the indecorousness of this sally.
The character of Joseph Buonaparte is not of this boisterous nature. He is generally considered as a man of a meek and humane disposition, and far from being under the influence of that restless ambition which actuates the founder of this family. He has never been very desirous of establishing himself on the throne of Spain. He was aware that he never could reach that bold and bad eminence without wading through rivers of blood. This gentleman was assured at Madrid, by some French officers of the first distinction, that Joseph had repeatedly urged his brother to abandon the idea of subjugating Spain, but that the latter was deaf to his entreaties.
The ultimate success of the Spaniards is not considered by this gentleman in that hopeless light in which it has been for some time viewed by many persons in this country. The Spanish armies, he assures us, were never in greater force, so well commanded, so perfect in point of discipline and equipment as at present. When the formidable expedition, so fatally wasted in the paltry conquest of Welcheren, was fitting out, the greatest consternation was excited among the French at Madrid. The general opinion was, that this army was intended to be landed in the North of Spain, for the purpose of seizing the passes of the Pyrenees, and cutting off the retreat of the French by way of Bayonne.
The French officers, he says, bestow unqualified approbation on the talents of Sir John Moore. He has heard marshals Ney and Lefebvre speak in terms of the highest praise of the retreat of that lamented officer through Galicia; which they compared to the memorable retreat of Moreau on the Rhine. Buonaparte was thrown into a paroxysm of rage, when he found that the British army had avoided being surrounded. During his march from Madrid, he repeatedly declared, that not a single British soldier should reach the coast.
At Paris, it was generally believed that Ferdinand VII. had been poisoned. The most persevering and best concerted enquiries, of those who felt interested for his fate, were not successful in obtaining any information relating to him. The wretched Charles IV, his consort, and the Prince of Peace, are known to be in much distress at Marseilles. The bills which they had drawn on the imperial treasury for the provision assigned to them, were returned unpaid; and they subsisted, in some sort, on the bounty of persons who could feel for fallen greatness.
November 9. Some rise in the price of stocks has been attributed to the rumor of a negotiation being about to be opened for peace. A flag of truce was said last night to have arrived at Dover; and it was said that Louis Buonaparte had assured his sister, there would be a general peace in a few months. There is not, we believe, the least foundation for the rumour. Nothing can be more unlikely than a negotiation, nothing more impracticable than peace at the present moment. There would be infinitely more danger in making peace under the existing circumstances than in continuing the war; and this we are sure is the feeling and conviction of the whole empire. It may be that the rise has been produced by a rumour of its being the intention of the king to make a large increase of its accommodation to the mercantile interest.
An Expedition has sailed from Malta, the object of which is differently stated—some suppose it to be destined to take possession of the Seven Islands, which are said to have shown symptoms of revolt—others imagine that it is gone to take possession of some of the Greek islands, with the concurrence of the Turkish government.
We grieve as deeply as any man at the result of the war between Austria and France. We grieve the more because we confess we cannot bury ourselves up with those hopes of better things, of brighter prospects, which some of our contemporaries seem to go. They consider that Austria is still left by the peace of Vienna independent and formidable, and that Buonaparte has not realized those threats which he set out with—that he has left the Emperor still Emperor of Austria—that he has left him his capital, and that he has not executed his threats with respect to Hungary—He certainly has not; but it is in the nature of Buonaparte's policy to begin by making larger demands and bolder threats than he feels he can execute, or means to attempt, in order that when he comes to negotiate, he may appear to have more moderation, and also that he may furnish the power, with which he is negotiating, with some pretence, palliation, or excuse, for acceding to his terms, because they are less severe than those which he had threatened. Thus he began the late war by issuing a decree in the nature of a command to Hungary, and in speaking of the House of Austria he affected to call them only princes of the House of Lorraine. It was supposed then that nothing would content him short of stripping the emperor of his imperial title, and of rendering Hungary independent. But this intention he never seems seriously to have entertained. By making peace, however, without accomplishing either of those objects, he affords an opportunity to those who believe that he really had them in view, to say that he has failed in attaining them, and that therefore the peace is less disastrous than their apprehensions led them to expect it would be. Buonaparte has given back to the emperor of Austria his capital—he knows the pride that is attached to such a possession—he knows also by experience the little battle it has been to his operations. The capital stopped not his march in the war with Prussia; it checked not his career in the war with Austria. In giving back the capital, he gives only that which would tell before him the moment he could reach its walls, and hence he did not demand Berlin in his negotiations with Prussia, nor Vienna in his negotiations with Austria. But he has concluded a treaty, we are told, with the emperor, as emperor of Austria: he has left him still the imperial dignity. By the great stress laid upon this point, it may by some be suspected that the retaining the title was deemed a sufficient equivalent for large territorial cessions. We trust such a suspicion is ill-founded; because the policy that should have advised such a measure would be most censurable. The mere possession of the title could not reconquer the territories that were ceded for it, though the possession of the territories might regain the title that was ceded in preference to territorial cessions. We should think the preservation of the title of Emperor of Austria dearly purchased indeed by the giving up the Tyrol, or the abandonment of Salzburg, Berchtesgaden, and part of Upper Austria. It may be, however, that Buonaparte did not press this point. The title of emperor of Austria indicates only the sovereign authority over a territory in the actual possession of the emperor. But it was different with the title of emperor of Germany—that title signified that the possessor of it was the supreme chief of the Germanic body. The abandonment of it therefore was pressed by Buonaparte, because hav-
ing placed himself at the head of the members of the confederacy of the Rhine, under the name of their protector, he had virtually assumed the station of the house of Lorraine, and was desirous of being considered as emperor of Germany, combining in that character all its ancient privileges, with the energy peculiar to a newly-formed and revolutionary government.
Great sacrifices Austria has certainly been obliged to make by the peace of Vienna—she has been driven from all maritime connection and intercourse, and is more closely pressed on three sides by powers under the absolute control of France—The loss of part of Carinthia, of Carniola, and of Salzburgh shuts her out entirely from the contact with Italy, and by the loss of Trieste and Fiume she is rendered an inland power, not being able to send her produce by sea without the consent of France, or of powers dependent upon France. But still it may be doubted whether the peace, as far as it relates to territorial cessions, is by any means so bad as we had reason to expect from the manner in which Austria had placed all her strong holds and important positions in the hands of France by the armistice of Znaim. By that armistice she had absolutely deprived herself of the power of communicating freely between one part of her territories and another—Bohemia was cut off from all correspondence with Hungary by the interposition of a French force in Moravia. The French possessed the key of Hungary; they had Gratz and Brunn; they had Villach, they had Vienna, they had the command of the course of the Danube, the Muhl, the Drave and the Save—Prague was almost the only strong place in the hands of the Austrians. An armistice that surrendered the keys and the heads of the empire to France would have justified a belief that harder terms would have been demanded; that Bohemia and one of the Austrias would have been wrested from the emperor. But upon more mature reflection our readers, perhaps, will be of opinion that it is not yet the interest of Buonaparte to annihilate entirely the house of Habsburg; that for a time at least, it is his policy to keep some kind of balance between the different powers; to have some check upon Russia, and to be able to render each of them subsequent at pleasure to his views—We have seen how he has bent Russia to his designs against Austria—and if Russia evinced any refractory spirit, he would spirit up and support Austria against her—Thus Austria is kept as a check upon Russia, and Saxony is more than a match for Prussia, while he preserves a position, with his satellites of Bavaria, and Wirttemberg, and Baden, and Westphalia, and the other German princes, that enables him to overawe and intimidate them all—A great extent of territory and power is certainly left to Austria: she has Bohemia and Moravia, nearly all the two Austrias, and Hungary—Against Russia her means are formidable—but against France utterly powerless—Buonaparte therefore having no serious opposition to dread from her, is content to leave her in the possession of an extent of territory much larger than it was supposed he would surrender to her—For, had he insisted upon greater cessions, had he demanded Bohemia, had he insisted upon having Upper and Lower Austria, he would have been obliged to have kept a large military force, and his attention and his means would thus have been in part directed from the South and the West of Europe, from Portugal, from Spain, and ultimately from Great Britain. The first desire of his heart is to make Great Britain feel his vengeance. His dreams by night, his thoughts by day, are all directed to that end. He hates us with a hatred which is incapable either of increase or diminution, and never will be, until the design of bending us to his will, Spain and Portugal, he thinks, will facilitate the execution of that design, and he hopes that by the possession of these countries—by the vast population he could then command, by the long line of coast he could then command, extending in an unbroken line from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, that he should be able to pour such a mass of force against us as to overwhelm us. It is with the view of procuring that design to which the possession of Spain and Portugal are necessary, that he has granted better terms to the emperor of Austria than he would have granted, and we have little doubt that he owes the preservation of one or both the Austrias to the consent he has given to recognize whatever has been or should be done either in Italy, Portugal, or Spain. It may be said that the emperor could not possibly prevent the execution of Buonaparte's projects against those countries—Very true—but it is not necessary on account of that impossibility to rush into a direct unqualified recognition and sanction that are to have no limits, of that system of usurpation and oppression which the emperor of Austria, in one of his manifestoes at the commencement of the contest, had made a great charge and ground for war—This mortal cession, this cession of character on the part of the emperor of Austria, we consider as much more disgraceful, as big with consequences infinitely more disastrous than the territorial cessions he has made—it breaks the heart of loyalty, it kills the spirit of fidelity, and of patriotism; it gives the death blow to legitimate authority—it has more humbled the house of Austria than the loss of a province or a kingdom.
Courier. Some letters from Malta, mention a report of the Toulon fleet having put to sea, and been chased for three days by lord Collingwood; but that it had at length escaped by taking shelter under the Hyeres Islands. Some reports state, that the object of the enemy was to land a force in Sicily; while others say that Barcelona, which stands greatly in want of supplies, was its destination. It is added, that besides watching the enemy's fleet in its skulking places, lord Collingwood had stationed a squadron off Toulon, in order to interrupt it on its return, should it escape from the place in which it had taken shelter. We do not, however, understand that government had received any advice whatever upon the subject.
LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.
Tuesday, November 7.
This market still continues depressed, yet some sales were to-day effected in wheat and oats; last week's prices were obtained for prime samples of old wheat, but for the inferior sorts no buyers could be found, even at less prices. Oats of the first quality were sold 2d. to 3d. below our last quotation. Other grain remains the same. American flour is 2s. per barrel dearer, as the mills in this neighbourhood cannot do much work, owing to the calmness of the weather.

NEW YORK, December 18.
TWO DAYS LATER.
By the ship William, capt. Moran, from London, and 28 days from the Downs, the editor of the Mercantile advertiser has received a file of London papers to the 11th November, seven days later than by the Gosport.
Mr. Hartshorne, one of the passengers, is the bearer of dispatches from our minister in London to the secretary of state.
Captain Moran and passengers inform us, it was confidently expected that the Greenville party would succeed the present ministry on the meeting of the British parliament.
Capt. Moran's letter bags (containing about 2000 letters) were taken out of the ship at Gravesend, by a revenue officer who stated, that it was contrary to law to carry unsealed letter bags. They were sent up to London, and capt. M. has requested us to publish the following note:
"Alien Office, Gravesend, Nov. 13, 1809. This is to certify, that two bags of letters were taken out of the American ship William, by a revenue officer, which bags of letters were sent to the post-office."
(Signed) J. D. FRITZLIN, in the absence of Mr. Walsh.
"The Englishman," a London Sunday paper of the 12th Nov. which was on board the William, but was disposed of on the passage, we are informed, contained intelligence of the arrival of the king of Saxony at Fontainbleau; and of the destruction of a French convoy from Toulon to Barcelona. Of the convoy it was said, two ships of war one of them of 90 guns and the other of 84, were run ashore, and blown up. The explosion was heard at Nevers, 8 leagues distant, and the news was confirmed by way of Hamburg and Amsterdam.
In same paper states that a convocation of cardinals was speedily to be held in Paris, for the double purpose (in the opinion of the English editor) of conferring the papal dignity on Cardinal Fesch, and of divorcing the emperor from his present wife, who it is added, is to be succeeded by a daughter of the king of Saxony.
LONDON, Nov. 11.
Expectations are entertained in France that the Americans will make common cause with France and the Northern powers, against this country. The following observations are extracted from a recent number of a periodical work published at Paris, the political part of which is under the direction of a member of the senate:
"In fact the peace with Russia is but the happy prelude to that which is about to unite all the Northern flags, like a fasces, against that flag which pretends to keep them all in a state of humiliation. It is beyond a doubt that Sweden will treat with Denmark, with Prussia, and obtain from France oblivion of the past. On their side the United States approximate as much as possible the powers of the North, by bringing, as a first guarantee of their amicable dispositions, the resentment which has been produced by the conduct of England towards them. Their ambassador to Russia is arrived at Copenhagen. The Americans do more—they have rejected the English minister, Mr. Jackson."
"Every thing then induces us to believe, that by supporting what they call the contest in which they are engaged by how a d well under's od i erest, the Americans will not lose sight of the memorable words addressed to them by his majesty the emperor of the French, through the medium of his minister for foreign affairs—that the intention and motives of that monarch will be judged, as well as the acts of which he makes mention; and that, conformably to the wise and useful encouragement continued in it, the English will soon find in the North of the two hemispheres, a long chain, by which their vessels will be stopped and their pride rebuked."
If we may credit the statement of some of our contemporaries, the evacuation of Welcheren has been determined upon, upon the representation of general Don, who is said to have declared that, "if his majesty's ministers command him to attempt the retention of the island, he will sacrifice his life in its defence, without a murmur; but he feels it to be his duty, both to go on and to the brave army on the station, to represent the urgent expediency of evacuating it; and unless this determination be adopted without delay, the greatest difficulties may arise in effecting the embarkation of the sick."
November 11.
We feel the greatest satisfaction in having it in our power to communicate some particulars of an important advantage gained by the Spaniards over that division of the French army which was lately commanded by marshal Ney. They are contained in the following bulletins brought by a vessel that left Oporto on the 28th ult.—
BULLETIN EXTRAORDINARY.
"We hasten, with peculiar satisfaction, to communicate to the public the agreeable intelligence contained in the following:
Extract of a letter addressed to his excellency Colonel Trant, the Governor of the City of Oporto.
"I have the satisfaction to inform you, that on the 10th inst. the Spanish army, under the command of the duke del Parque, had an engagement with a corps of French troops, that had advanced from Salamanca, under the command of gen. Marchand, which terminated in favour of the Spanish arms. I have not yet received the details. It is said the French lost in killed and wounded about 1000 men; the Spaniards only 150; the enemy also lost a 12-pounder, a stand of colours, and 300 muskets, and the Spaniards retook at the point of the bayonet, six pieces of artillery, which they had lost on the morning of that day. It is not known whether the whole of the duke del Parque's army was in the engagement. It is reported that the French consisted of 10,000 infantry, 1210 cavalry, with nine pieces of artillery. The day after the action, the duke was reinforced, by gen. Ballasteros, with 700 men."
"I am in haste, &c."
"WILLIAM COX."
"Almeida, Oct. 24, 1809."
Dutch papers to the 8th and Paris to the 2d inst. have arrived. Their contents, as might be expected, are uninteresting. They consist of a decree for the meeting of the legislative body on the 1st of Dec. and a fulsome and enflated address from the senate of the kingdom of Italy to Buonaparte. This was presented by a deputation—at the head was a count M. esali. We are sorry to find, that the Bavarians have entered the Tyrol in great force.
Just as our paper was putting to press, we received the following information from a gentleman who left Rotterdam on Tuesday last:
He states that "two of the most respectable houses in that city had received letters from their correspondents at Paris which mention that lord Collingwood had intercepted a large convoy of military stores and provisions, that was proceeding from Toulon to Barcelona, the whole of which he had captured. Of the ships of war under whose protection it was, an 80 and a 74 gun ship were driven on shore, where they were burned by their crew, to prevent them from falling into our hands. A frigate was also driven on shore, which, to all appearance, must be lost."
Our informant could not learn when this important event occurred.

Times Office, four o'Clock in the morning.
We stop the press to announce the arrival of Dutch papers to the 9th inst. The following are the most important articles which they contain:

Augsburg, October 28. The national committee at Innsbruck made an overture on the 23d, to enter into a negotiation with the hereditary prince, relative to a voluntary submission. Saxony, October 27. We understand that his majesty, our king, will on the first of November, undertake a journey to Paris. Several other princes, who are members of the league of the Rhine will, it is also said, repair thither, at the same time. His majesty's stay in Paris will not exceed ten days. Hague, November 8. According to the Paris news of the 4th, the emperor will make his triumphal entry into his capital on the 2d December. Several foreign cardinals had arrived in Paris. The king of Saxony was expected there, and it was supposed he would be accompanied by his queen and the princess Augusta. These illustrious travellers will proceed direct to the palace of Fontainebleau, where it is said a splendid entertainment will be given on the 12th. M. Latour Maubourg, French charge des affaires at the Ottoman Porte, has arrived at Paris from Constantinople. Letters from Perpignan mention, that marshal Augereau, the duke of Castiglione, has completely recovered from his late illness, and had gone to take upon himself the command of the army besieging Gerona. His lady remained at Perpignan. The 3 rer cents were at 79 f. 80 c. Bank stock, 1267 f. 50 c. Paris, Nov. 3. Prince Gorgall, aid-de-camp to the emperor Alexander, has arrived here on a special mission to his majesty, having first gone to Vienna, and thence to Munich, in expectation of seeing him. His majesty will make some longer stay (some say a month) at Fontainebleau, before he resumes his residence in this capital. He will probably fix his return to the period when the legislative body assembles. Meanwhile preparations are going forward with the greatest activity, at the hotel de Ville, for giving a magnificent entertainment to his majesty, on his entry into this metropolis. It is reported that his majesty will not commence his journey to Spain, until every thing is in readiness in that country, for the resumption of offensive operations against the English and insurgents. The peace which is all over the continent heard of with the greatest joy, will occasion considerable astonishment and alarm among the English and insurgents in Spain and Portugal. There is every reason to expect that as soon as they are informed of the real state of things, they will lay down their arms, and invoke the clemency of that prince whom they have opposed only because they have been misled by false reports and perfidious insinuations. The minister of marine has returned from his journey to the Northern Departments and South Beveland.
VIENNA, Oct. 24. The corps of marshal Marmont began its march for Carniola on the 22d; marshal Oudinot's corps is going to France; marshal Massena's is expected to arrive here in a few days from Moravia. All the troops of the league of the Rhine have already began their march for their respective states. We are assured that the final departure of the French from this capital is fixed for the 15th of next month, and that in 4 weeks from that date, they will evacuate the whole of the provinces remaining under the dominion of the emperor of Austria. It is added, that they will occupy the ceded districts with 60,000 men, and that two of the corps, now on their march, will take routes contiguous to the northern and southern frontiers of the Tyrol, to support, if necessary, the Bavarian troops who have already penetrated into that country. The prince of Schwartzburg, our late ambassador at St. Petersburg, it is understood, is to proceed in the same character to Paris. It is also said that gen. Andross will remain here in the character of French ambassador. The emperor Francis is expected here on the 15th but not to make any long stay. He is to proceed to Prague, where the palace has already been prepared for his reception. It is rumoured that, of the grand French army, 60,000 men are to be stationed partly in Galicia and partly in the Ukraine.
LYONS, Oct. 25. According to advices received here, all the Italian cardinals have been summoned to attend a congregation to be held at Paris in the month of November. Munich, Oct. 26. Our army is rapidly advancing against Tyrol. The division of gen. Wrede has rendered itself master of St. Jean, and of different other neighbouring posts, from whence it is to push on against Rottenburg. The communication between the three divisions has been fully established since the division of Deroy has passed Kufstein. On the 19th inst. the advanced parties of general Wrede entered Rottenburg, and are supposed to have yesterday reached Schwatz; in which case our troops will occupy Innsbruck the day after to-morrow at latest.

THE TRUSTEE. December 11.
THE PUBLICK LEDGER. FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 22, 1809. The influx of foreign intelligence, has compelled us very reluctantly to postpone the conclusion of Mr. Giles Speech until our next. We notice with satisfaction that SAMUEL LIVERMORE, Esq. late one of the Editors of the Federal Republican , of Baltimore, has taken a concern in the Virginia Gazette of Richmond. The talents and independence of Mr. Livermore were often displayed in the columns of the Federal Republican , with credit to himself, and with advantage to the publick.
The petition of the Mechanicks of this place, praying the legislature for an act of incorporation for charitable purposes, was lost, we understand, on a motion for reference. It is very unusual to reject a petition in that stage, it being contrary to custom to discuss the merits of the petition until they have been examined before a committee.
By the Justina, Captain Howe , we have received London papers to the 9th ult. and Liverpool to the 11th, and by last evening's mail we received New-York papers, containing advices a few days later, extracts from both are given in this day's paper, and in which are contained every thing which appeared to us interesting.
The long expected Treaty between France and Austria, is now before the publick, and although it does not reduce the power of Austria as much as was expected, it is nevertheless sufficiently humiliating. It certainly does not leave Austria as Prussia was left by the Treaty of Tilsit, a power whose strength is so broken, as to prevent any further exertion. On the contrary Austria is still a powerful empire, capable of making great exertions, when the nations of Europe shall be roused to a just sense of their rights and interests. But the nations who surround Austria, are the satellites of Napoleon, depending on him for existence; these are enumerated in the Treaty, which we have noticed. It is said that the expulsion of the British from Walcheren, and the conquest of Spain and Portugal are the immediate objects of Napoleon's attention; the former if the London papers are to be credited, will give him no trouble, as it is said that the place will be abandoned, though we do not see it announced in a way to deserve confidence. We must confess that we are apprehensive for the fate of Spain and Portugal. The nature of the country is certainly favourable for defence, and the people are represented as brave and determined, but the embitterment of the Junta, is not calculated to call forth the energies of the nation to advantage.
It seems to have been expected in Paris, that Mr. Jackson would fail in his mission to the United States; whether these expectations were founded upon information from this country or not we cannot say; the French politicians seem still to expect that we are to make common cause with them; and if we will not, appear to be determined to force us; their cruisers still continue to capture and destroy our vessels, as heretofore.
Some of our visionary politicians have predicted that Great Britain would starve without our wheat and flour; our readers will remark that by an order of council the British government has forbid the further importation of these articles from France and Holland, which by special licence had been imported into England.
A Baltic convoy of 500 sail, had arrived, with large supplies of naval stores and lumber, from Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Russia. From what we see in the papers, and learn from passengers, and by letters from England, a change of ministry so as to bring the Grenville's into power, will take place. The present ministry want influence and talents; the Marquis Wellesley , will not it is most positively said serve without Mr. Canning, and the leading members of the present administration will not serve with that gentleman, though they are solicitous for the aid of Marquis Wellesley.
We learn from Washington that the committee of Foreign Relations would make their report on the 19th, that they were unanimous in the opinion, that all the restrictions upon the commerce of the United States should be removed. There was some difference of opinion upon the subject of allowing merchant vessels to arm in their own defence; this evening's mail will probably bring the report.
In the Justina came passengers, General Russell , his Lady and family; also Mrs. Brumfield, and Messrs. Drayton, Mackell, Hoffman, and Poole.—In lat. 40, 20, long. 17, 20, the Justina was boarded from the French national brig Le Grise , Mous. Degrydes, commander, who at first determined (according to his orders, and as he had done to many other American vessels) to burn the Justina , but finding that there were sixteen passengers, besides her crew, which would too much increase the numbers on board his own vessel, he determined to let her pass, after requesting and receiving from captain Howe a supply of stores.
Monday next being Christmas Day, the Ledger will not be published until Wednesday.
Captain Howe, Commander of the Ship Justina. The passengers in the Justina cannot help expressing to you their thanks and best thanks for your attention to their accommodation during their voyage with you from Liverpool to this port; your very liberally supplied table with the best provisions; your unwearied and uniform attention to our comfort, tending much to ameliorate and lessen the unpleasantness of a winter voyage—and to your activity and exertions in the duties of your profession, we attribute the shortness of the passage—Your deportment throughout claims from us sentiments of much approbation and regard. We are, Sir, most sincerely, yours, &c. REUBELL AND LADY. J. HOFFMAN, MRS. BRUMFIELD AND FAMILY. WILLIAM DRAYTON, WILLIAM POOLE.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 19. The Philadelphia Freeman's Journal of yesterday contains the following article, from Mr. Elliot, now at Washington—Mr. E. adds that the correctness of this information may be fully relied on. The system already fixed: or war if it can be made popular. The committee upon Foreign Relations have not reported, but they have adopted, this morning, a plan of operation, of which the following is a "bird's eye view." To interdict the entrance into our ports of all British and French vessels, armed or unarmed—to repeal the non-intercourse law—and suffer our vessels to go where they please! The question of arming is undecided.
WASHINGTON CITY, December 18. Bruchner Thurston, Esq. has been appointed by the president of the United States an Associate Judge for the District of Columbia, in the room of A. B. Dacket, Esq. deceased.
Congress of the United States. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FRIDAY, December 15. MR. JACKSON'S CIRCULAR, &c. The following message was received from the President of the United States, by Mr. Graham: To the House of Representatives of the United States. According to the request of the house of representatives expressed in their resolution of the first instant, I now lay before them a printed "copy of a paper purporting to be a Circular letter from Mr. Jackson to the British Consuls in the United States," as received in a Gazette at the Department of State; and also a printed paper, received in a letter from our minister in London, purporting to be a copy of a despatch from Mr. Canning to Mr. Erskine of the 23d of January last. JAMES MADISON.
December 12, 1809. [The first paper enclosed was the Independent American of Nov. 21, and the second piece cut out of a London newspaper.] On motion of Mr. Quincy, these papers were ordered to be printed—for the motion 59—against 40. And the house adjourned to Monday, ayes 74.
MONDAY, Dec. 18. Mr. Troup's resolution, for printing all the papers relative to the Yazoo Lands, except the law of Georgia (which cannot be found) granting the land, was adopted, ayes 57, nays 23. While the house was in committee of the whole on Mr. Giles's resolutions from the senate, relative to the conduct of Mr. Jackson, a message was received from the president, when the committee rose and had leave to sit again. The message, with the accompanying documents containing extracts from five letters of Mr. Pinkney to the secretary of state, which contain statements of official and unofficial conversations between Mr. Pinkney and Mr. Canning, were read, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. McKim's resolutions were again called up and adopted, as follows: Resolved , That the committee of commerce and manufactures, be instructed to enquire into the expediency of prohibiting by law, the importation in foreign ships or vessels, of all goods, wares, and merchandise, not of the growth, produce or manufacture of the country to which the ship belongs, excepting in the ships of such country, as by permanent regulation, permit our ships or vessels, as freely and beneficially as their own, to import into their ports and territories, the produce and manufactures of foreign countries. Resolved , That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of laying an additional import duty on distilled spirits imported in foreign ships or vessels from ports or countries, in which American vessels are not permitted by permanent regulation, to a fair participation in such trade, and that the committee have leave to report on these resolutions by bill or otherwise.

A small, but Valuable FARM for Sale.
THE SUBSCRIBER owns a Farm of about 200 acres, in the County of York, which he is disposed to sell. It lies nearly half way between the towns of York and Hampton, and is bounded on its southern side by the main road leading from Hampton, through York and Williamsburg to Richmond. It would therefore be a good stand for a Tavern or Store, or the Shop of a Mechanick; the soil is every where fertile, and in some parts highly so; and it has no land premisses, from the nature of soil and other advantages, with more certainty to reward its cultivator. It lies near a Water Grist and Saw Mill, and within about two miles of a good publick landing. The river on which this landing is established, is remarkable for the fine quality as well as the abundance of its Fish and Oysters. Upon the upper part of the land, there is a small Dwelling-House, in which there is a tenant for the present year; but the house is of little value; there are no other buildings on the land. Mr. Guerard Robinson, who resides near it will shew it to any one disposed to view it, and either he or Capt. Mallory Todd, of Smithfield, or Mr. Richard Young, of Warwick Town will treat for the sale of it, or application may be made to Merit M. Robinson. Smithfield, October 18.

A BARGAIN OFFERED,
In a fine and Valuable FARM,
in the County of Princess Anne.
THE SUBSCRIBER is disposed to sell his Plantation called LEVEL GREEN, situated in the county of Princess Anne. It contains about 500 acres; and, as it may be advantageously divided into two or three Farms, the subscriber will accommodate a purchaser, in selling either the whole or a part. He will also give a long credit. This tract of Land is certainly the most desirable in the county, from Norfolk Market only five or six miles by water, and distant 9 by land. The soil is excellent, about one half of the tract being cleared land, and fit for immediate culture; the other heavily timbered with Oak, Pine, Ash, and Hickory. It has also the advantage of several good landings—Any one disposed to view the land, and to purchase, may apply, in the absence of the subscriber, to JAMES ROBINSON, or JOHN READ, who reside in the neighbourhood. Tully Robinson. Dec. 7.
