Boot and Shoe Manufactory.  SAMUEL COLEMAN , Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quantity of the best Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c. that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Sole and other Leather here—good workmanship—great attention—no disappointments—a regular bred foreman—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnished and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions only he expects custom. He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO ; all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an allowance made for that which is not; but the greatly increased price of all the materials, and the high price of labour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here. He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibility of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see. He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gentlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of getting such as are good, as he has no run-work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are cash only. A LEASE For the eligible PROPERTY he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and a half acres to run. April 13.

The official correspondence upon the relations of our country with Great Britain, were given in an extra Ledger on Tuesday evening, and are re-published in this day's paper.
We feel great satisfaction in finding that our conjectures upon this subject are corroborated by such unquestionable authority. The excitement which the democratic papers have produced, might have proceeded in some instances from a jealous anxiety for the rights of our country, but we apprehend, that most generally it was produced by a determination to oppose any accommodation with Great Britain.
Copy of a letter from Mr. Lyman, American Consul in London, to the honourable Stephen R. Bradley, esq. a senator in congress, dated May 3, 1809.
I take this opportunity, by the Pacific, one of our packets, to address a few lines to you at Washington, where, on the arrival of that vessel in the U. States I presume you will be, and learn both from public and more private means of information, the important change that has lately taken place in the policy of this government by the revocation of the orders of council. This event, although other orders are substituted therefor of a nature so highly objectionable, is nevertheless considered by all our friends here, as vastly important; first and principally, as it furnishes an example and establishes the fact, that the United States can make the interests of this country feel, and that very sensibly; and secondly, as we have no participation in the old and the substitution of the new orders, we are, thereby pledged to nothing, and at full liberty to take advantage of occurrences as they arise and pass. You will say, then, what has done all this? My reply is, the steady policy of our government and the support of the people as evidenced in the late presidential and other elections. I do not consider the repeal of the embargo and substitution of the non-intercourse law, as a change of policy, but only of measures; and it was so regarded here. Indeed, it is generally allowed that the non-intercourse would be more severely felt than the embargo, notwithstanding, you may be assured, that the latter, if continued, would have answered the most sanguine expectations. This country is wholly commercial, and suffers extremely by any obstructions to trade. Mr. Spence lately published a book entitled Great Britain independent of commerce, and lord Sheffield has always been endeavouring to prove her independence of our commerce; but facts prove that neither understands the question. Mr. Burke understood it better, who said that our commerce was the food which nourished this political body. The United States instead of being the dups, which sometimes I fear we have been, of the policy and artifices of France and England, may make them subservient to our interest, aided by a little seasonable coercion. I hope you will pardon these few hasty suggestions, which, my present situation renders so obvious. It is sometimes useful to know only the impressions which are made by the same objects in different situations.
REMARKS.
The preceding letter is copied from the Monitor of the 15th, and derives consideration from the high official stations of the writer, and the person to whom it is addressed.
It is difficult to determine, which deserves the most censure, the absurdity of the positions of the writer, his total ignorance of facts, or the indelicacy of the publisher. This miserable attempt to prop that wretched policy of self-destruction, would only deserve to be noticed, but for the reason we have stated; the official station of the parties.
The indelicacy is obvious, when it is recollected that the publication cannot answer any good purpose, and must have the effect of putting this officer on bad terms with the government, to which he is deputed. An inconvenience which may be felt by his countrymen.
Mr. Lyman is confident that the system of coercion is a wise one, and that England and France can always be reduced to our terms, when we choose to adopt it. This point has been discussed over and over again, and if men will persist in asserting to be true, what has been disproved by facts, it would be idle to renew the discussion. Buonaparte praised our embargo, England considered it as a municipal regulation of our own; a measure of inconvenient restriction upon ourselves, and of which we appeared to be sensible, by removing it, before we knew what either France or England would do. What effects did our restrictions produce in England, as far as we are informed? Did they produce tumults or insurrections? Have any changes of the administration that country, been produced, or are the ministers less in confidence than they were. If Mr. Lyman had shown any of these effects, we might have been convinced. But let us admit that our measures were severely felt in England, was it worth no consideration to examine their effects upon ourselves? Of these effects Mr. Lyman appears to be perfectly unacquainted, when he says, "You will say what has done all this? My reply is, the steady policy of our government, and the support of the people evidenced in the late presidential and other elections." In what the steady policy consisted, we neither know, nor can conjecture, and what other elections, proved the support of the people, is still more difficult to conjecture.
This steady policy, changed the state of New Hampshire from republican to federal, in all its branches, it changed five republican members of congress from that state, into five federalists. A republican governor, and legislature of Massachusetts have been changed into federal; the representation to congress from that state stood ten republican, seven federal; it is now ten federal, seven republican; a democratic senator has been rejected, and a federalist, put in his place. In Rhode-Island a republican legislature has been changed into a federal legislature; the congressional delegation from that state, was democratic, it is now federal; the democratic senator whose term of service had expired was supplied by a federalist. In Vermont two federal members to congress have been gained, five have been gained in New-York (and a federal, for a
republican legislature), three in Virginia, and one branch of the legislature of Maryland from being democratic has become federal; three federal members have been gained in North-Carolina. Are then these the evidences of the support of the people? In no one instance that we have heard of, did the friends of the late administration succeed in turning out either a federalist or republican oppositionist. When the friends of the administration have succeeded, they have done it, in most cases by such small majorities, as to leave little cause for exultation, but abundant cause for apprehension.
We have been not a little surprised, that with few exceptions, all the Americans who were in Europe at the time, have approved the embargo. We account for this, in some measure, by that partiality, with which we regard every thing that concerns our country, when we are out of it. Whoever has been abroad, must have felt this sentiment, and noticed its operation. Our attachment to our country, and every thing belonging to it, is increased, as we are removed from it. A federalist in London, feels disposed to vindicate the measures of an administration, to which he is opposed in principle, and which in his own country he would oppose.
The embargo was considered as a national measure, the only one by which we were taught to believe, we could vindicate our rights, this caused many to be partial to it—but the Americans who were abroad, were not sensible of the evils which this system of coercion (as it is called) produced in this country.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 16. The President of the United States this day communicated the following MESSAGE to the Senate:
To the Senate of the United States: In compliance with the resolution of the Senate of the 13th instant, I transmit extracts from letters from Mr. Pinkney to the Secretary of State, accompanied by letters and communications to him, from the British Secretary of State for the Foreign Department; all of which have been received here since the last session of congress.
To these documents are added a communication just made by Mr. Erskine to the Secretary of State, and his answer. JAMES MADISON. June 15, 1809.
From Mr. Canning.
Foreign Office, Dec. 24, 1808. Sir, In my official note of the 23d September, I stated to you the probability that some alterations might be made in the orders in council, with a view to adapt their operation more exactly to the altered state of Europe, and to combine all practicable relief to neutrals with a more severe pressure upon the enemy.
As this statement was however only incidental, and as I at the same time disclaimed any intention of taking advantage of such proposed alterations in the discussions then pending between us—seeing that it made, they would not be founded on the admission of any of the principles for which you were contending—it was perhaps not necessary that I should trouble you with any further communication upon this subject. But the order of which I have the honour to enclose a copy, having been passed by his majesty in council on Wednesday last, I am desirous previous to its actual publication, of explaining to you the grounds on which the more extended alterations, which were in contemplation, have been suspended.
It was intended to relax in a certain degree the regulations of the orders in council, with respect to such of the powers in hostility with his majesty as were not, or should not place themselves, in a state of hostility with Spain; but at the same time that this relaxation was extended to other powers, to prohibit absolutely by strict, rigorous and unmitigated blockade, all intercourse whatever with France.
The adoption by these powers, who were to have been the objects of such relaxation, of the views and projects of France with respect to Spain, does away all assignable ground of distinction between France and those powers, and that part therefore of the intended alterations does not take place.
The alteration contained in the inclosed order in council stands upon a separate ground, and, as I have more than once understood from you that the part of the orders in council which this order goes to mitigate is that which was felt most sorely in the United States, I have great pleasure in being authorized to communicate it to you.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) GEORGE CANNING.
Wm. Pinkney, Esq. His majesty, in virtue of the powers reserved to him, by two certain acts passed in the 48th year of his majesty's reign, the one entitled "An act for granting to his majesty, until the end of the next session of parliament, duties of customs on the goods, wares and merchandise therein enumerated, in furtherance of the provisions of certain orders in council." The other entitled "An act for granting to his majesty, until the end of the next session of parliament, certain duties on the exportation from Ireland, of goods wares and merchandise therein enumerated," is pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the operation of the aforesaid acts be suspended as to any duties on exportation, granted by the said acts, so as relates to articles being the growth, produce or manufacture of any country, for the time being, in amity with his majesty, and from the ports of which the British flag is not excluded, imported direct from such country into any port or place of the United Kingdom, either in British ships or in ships of the country of which such articles are the growth, produce or manufacture.
And his majesty is further pleased, with the advice aforesaid, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the said duties on exportation be suspended, as to all goods, wares and merchandise, which have been, or may be condemned as prize until further order shall be made therein.
Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Canning. Great Cumberland Place, Dec. 28th, 1808.
Sir—I have had the honour to receive your letter of the 24th inst. communicating an order passed by his majesty in council on Wednesday last; and have transmitted copies of these papers to my government.
It is perfectly true, as the concluding paragraph of your letter supposes me to believe, that the United States have viewed with great sensibility the pretension of this government (which, as a pretension on the present order plainly reasserts, without much, if at all, modifying its practical effect) to levy imports upon their commerce, outward and inward, which the orders in council of the last year were to constrain to pass through British ports.
But it is equally true, that my government has constantly protested against the entire system, with which that pretension was connected, and has in consequence required the repeal, not the modification, of the British orders in council.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) WM. PINKNEY.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Pinkney to the Secretary of State, dated March 10, 1809. I have received from Mr. Canning a notification of blockade of which a copy is enclosed."
Mr. Canning to Mr. Pinkney. The undersigned, his majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, has received his majesty's commands to acquaint Mr. Pinkney that his majesty has judged it expedient to establish the most rigorous blockade of the Isles of Mauritius and Bourbon. Mr. Pinkney is therefore requested to apprise the American consuls and merchants, residing in England, that the Isles above-mentioned are, and must be considered as being in a state of blockade; and that from this time all the measures authorised by the law of nations, and the respective treaties between his majesty and the different neutral powers, will be adopted and executed with respect to all vessels attempting to violate the said blockade after this notice.
The undersigned requests Mr. Pinkney to accept the assurances of his high consideration. (Signed) GEORGE CANNING.
Foreign Office, March 8, 1809. Extracts of a letter from Mr. Pinkney to the Secretary of State, dated London, May 1, 1809.
"I had the honour to receive on the 25th of March, the letter of your predecessor of the 10th of February; and on the 15th of last month, lieutenant Reed delivered to me your letter of the 15th of March."
"Upon the receipt of your letter of the 15th of March, it became my obvious duty to ask a conference with Mr. Canning. It took place accordingly on Monday, the 17th of April."
"At the close of the conference he told me that my communications were such as would require reflection, and would naturally make him anxious to see me again; and that he would fix as early a day as possible, and give me notice."
"Our next interview took place on the 27th April." Mr. Canning read the new order in council, and then proceeded very briefly to suggest the practical alterations which it would introduce."
"I thought I should best discharge my duty by forbearing useless discussion; and by receiving as it was offered, but without making myself a party to it, an actual improvement, capable of future extension under the auspices of just and friendly sentiments and enlightened policy."
Mr. Canning to Mr. Pinkney. Foreign Office, April 30, 1809.
Sir—When I had the honour to transmit to you on the 24th December last, the orders in council passed on the 21st of that month, I referred to that passage of my official note of the 23d of September, 1808, in which I stated to you that, "It is not improbable indeed that some alterations may be made in the orders in council, as they are at present framed; alterations calculated not to abate their spirit or impair their principle, but to adapt them more exactly to the different state of things which has fortunately grown up in Europe, and to combine all practicable relief to neutrals with a more severe pressure upon the enemy,"—and I at the same time explained to you the grounds on which the design of the larger alterations which had been time in contemplation in September was for the time laid aside. By the order of council which I have now the honour to enclose to you, that design, as explained in my official note of September 23d, is fully carried into execution.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) GEORGE CANNING.
William Pinkney, Esq. &c. &c. &c. [Here follows the British order of the 26th of April, as given in the Ledger of Wednesday last.]
Mr. Erskine to Mr. Smith. Washington, June 15, 1809.
Sir, I have the honour to enclose the copy of an order of his majesty in council, issued on the 26th April last. In consequence of official communications sent to me from his majesty's government, since the adoption of that measure, I am enabled to assure you that it has no connection whatever with the overtures, which I have been authorised to make to the government of the United States, and that I am persuaded that the terms of the agreement, so happily concluded by the recent negotiation, will be strictly fulfilled on the part of his majesty.
The internal evidence of the order itself would fully justify the foregoing construction; and moreover, it will not have escaped your notice that the repeal has not hereby been made of the order of the 7th of January, 1807, which according to the engagement I have entered into on the part of his majesty, is to be abrogated with the other orders, in consequence of the adjustment of the differences between the two countries, and the confidence entertained of a further conciliatory understanding.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) D. M. ERSKINE.
The Hon. Robert Smith, Esq. &c. &c. &c. Mr. Smith to Mr. Erskine. Department of State, June 15, 1809.
Sir, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your note of this day, communicating the order in council, issued by his Britannic majesty on the 26th April last.
However well persuaded the president may, at all times, have been that the arrangement, so happily effected by the late negotiation, would be strictly fulfilled on the part of his Britannic majesty, he has, nevertheless, received with satisfaction your renewed assurance to that effect, with the further assurance, founded on official communications to you from your government since the adoption of the order in council of the 26th April, that that order was not intended to have any connection whatever with the overtures, which you had been authorised to make to the government of the United States.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) R. SMITH. Hon. David M. Erskine, Esq. &c. &c. &c.
PHILADELPHIA, June 14. NEW-HAMPSHIRE—ALL HAIL! From Concord, June 7.
"The Legislature of New-Hampshire assembled this day, and a new order of things returns to bless the state. The senate has chosen the hon. Moses P. Payson (the federal candidate) for President, and Uriel Foster, Esq. for Clerk. The Senate stands 7 federal to 5 embargoons. In the House the hon. George B. Upham, the federal candidate, is chosen speaker and John O. Ballard, Clerk. The votes 89 federal, to 77 embargoons. The returns of votes for Governor, have been opened, they stand For Judge Smith, 15,638 For Governor Langdon, 15,161 And 130 scattered. The returns have not yet been examined as to their legality; but the probability is, that as many on one side as the other will be thrown out."
The democratic assertions respecting New-Hampshire will be remembered. June 16.
The subjoined list of exactions on American trade, may justly be considered as one of the effects of our unfortunate embargo.

Chinese Correspondence.
[In our Gazette of the 27th ult. we gave an account of the British Expedition from Bengal and Penang, under admiral Drury, to MACAO, a Portuguese settlement in the vicinity of Canton, but which is held under the Chinese government.—By the arrival of a friend from that remote section of the globe, we have been favoured with a part of the correspondence which took place on that occasion, and which we insert for the amusement of our readers. It may also afford some information relative to the ideas entertained of the British by that singular and very numerous people. The Americans are by the Chinese sometimes called Second Chop, (2d Seal) Englishman, but Europeans and Americans are generally classed together and called "Fan quis" or "White Devils." The Viceroy of Canton is commonly distinguished by the name of John Tuck, which is by some supposed to correspond with his title, he is considered as a very great man, and is as inaccessible as the grand seignior, inasmuch that adm. Drury could not be permitted to appear in his presence.]—Prov. Gaz.
TRANSLATION.
A Memorial of the Viceroy of Canton, to the commanders and agents and merchants at Whampoa. I, THE Incontoe, direct this Chop to let you know, that you belong to an island in the middle of the sea. Your subsistence depends on your manufactures.* From the goodness of our Emperor, you are permitted to come to Canton to trade. This is a favour of the highest importance, and most extensive kind. But your admiral has disobeyed the laws, by introducing soldiers into Macao without permission: and your chief has joined with him in creating disturbances. I have informed the Emperor, and he has issued his decree in return. I have directed the Mandarins to make you informed of the same, and to impress on you, with the utmost force, the meaning of it. If the troops still persist in remaining here, I shall be obliged to send a great many soldiers to destroy them all; and this they will owe to the Admiral, and the Chief: but as to you, I hold you all blameless. You must all remain peaceable, and continue to pay respect to the laws.
When the troops shall be removed, then I shall direct a memorial to the emperor, begging him to have the kindness to restore the trade to you as formerly; but if you have the audacity to give ear to the admiral and the English chief, and unite with them in creating disturbances, then I shall send numerous forces, in order to entirely destroy you; and which they will do, if you are as hard as rocks of jasper; and when it must be so, I shall be able to shew you no indulgence. Obedience to the laws is the first thing necessary; this is the chief object and meaning of this address.
In the reign of Kia-King, 20th or 8th December.

Reply of the Incontoe of Canton to the petition of the Agents and Commanders of the Country ships.

I the Maudarin, Vice-Incontoe of the two provinces of Quangtong and Quangsi, deputed from the tribunal of war, &c.
In reply to your letter, I have to inform you, that your private merchants, who are come here to carry on your business; and in regard to the consequences of the disorders which the English have come here to make, you are not included; but as you came here under the English flag, I cannot help interrupting your business jointly with theirs.
In regard to the goods you have landed, the Cestial Deity protects strangers of distant countries.—We can never retain or keep back your merchandise with this country, if you have no disposition to trade with this country, I shall order the merchants to restore entirely every thing that belongs to you; but if you wish to continue your commerce as heretofore, and you have any goods to land, you must wait till all the soldiers are embarked, and then you shall take in and deliver cargoes; therefore you must remain peaceable, and be quiet; waiting the conclusion of this business, without its being necessary to repeat your request.

LONDON, April 18. At Bristol, a vessel has arrived from the coast of Asturias, the captain of which confirms the intelligence of the arrival of the Marquis de la Romana with his army at Villa Franca, whence he commands the whole country between Asturias and Portugal, and extends his excursions far into Leon. Romana appears, by a dexterous maneuvre, to have completely changed places with Soult, and instead of awaiting the advance of the enemy at Chaves, to have moved into and occupied the country they had left. Soult having left behind him but very few troops, sufficient, as he thought, to keep quiet a country conquered with so little resistance, the favourable opportunity of a fresh effort was presented to the patriots, and they avail themselves of it in the spirited efforts, of the success of which we have already the most satisfactory proof in the re-capture of Vigo, an advantage which, we hope, they will be able to follow up.

The passing of the American Non-Intercourse Act on the 1st of March, has been officially notified by Mr. Hammond to Mr. Sansom, the chairman of the committee of American merchants.
The French government owes much of its success to its silence and secrecy in all its expeditions and plans. We act indifferently; we tell every thing; and the consequence is, that at the end of a campaign, we have nothing left to tell.
April 19.
Last night we received Hamburg papers to the 9th inst. and Paris Journals to the 1st. Their contents, it will be seen, are important. So far from Austria having made any humiliating submission to France, her armies are every where in a state of activity: the archduke Charles has set out to take the chief command, and the emperor, his brother, is shortly expected to follow. On the part of the French also, the most formidable dispositions are making to commence hostilities, and from every appearance there seems little doubt of an important blow being very speedily struck. Previous to his departure from Vienna, the archduke Charles addressed the volunteers of that city in language the most inspiring, and the general sentiments of the Austrians is such as to induce the most happy presages of the result of the spirited exertions which to all appearance they are about to make against the tyrant of the continent. Buonaparte was expected to set out from Paris on the 4th for Strasbourg; and it is said that he means to attend a congress which is to be held at Munich, and to which all his vassal kings are supposed to have been summoned; a Russian ambassador is also expected to attend. Count Romanzoff, the Russian prime minister, is returned to Petersburg from Paris, and has resumed his functions. He was to accompany the emperor Alexander to Finland the latter end of last month. Some Russian troops are said to be approaching the Austrian frontiers, in consequence of which the emperor Francis has demanded to know unequivocally the purpose for which this inauspicious movement is intended. From Turkey we find it officially announced that all differences between the Grand Seigneur and the Janissaries have been adjusted. The latter appear to have been conciliated by a concession, on the part of the government to abandon the plan of introducing "the system of military organization and discipline which prevails among the faithless ." The Paris papers, after repeating the statement of the defeat of the Marquis de la Romana, with the loss of 5000 men, observe that the accounts from Spain continue to be favourable. Marshal Victor is stated to have crossed the Tagus, and taken up a position near Badajoz, to open a communication with marshal Soult, who is falsely asserted to have arrived at Lisbon. It is added that Fort Java in Arragon, has surrendered to the enemy. ( Veracious intelligence. )
April 20.
Yesterday afternoon capt. Scomberg, of the Boire arrived at the admiralty, with very interesting and gratifying intelligence from the north-west of Spain. The Boire sailed, some time since, with a supply of arms and ammunition sent by government for the use of the Marquis de Romana's army. These supplies were safely landed at Finisterre, and capt. Scomberg brings an account of three actions having taken place between the Spanish army under the command of the marquis de Romana, and that under the command of Gen. Soult, in all of which the latter was defeated. It was in consequence of these defeats that Soult entered the Northern part of Portugal; it was by no means a matter of choice on his part, and such is the condition of his army, that there is every reason to believe that he will be compelled to surrender unless he should receive powerful assistance from the southward, from the army under Gen. Victor. We are happy to add that the whole male population of Galicia are in arms, and that the French are confined in the fortresses of Ferrol and Coruna.
It has been repeatedly said, that Sir John Moore was goaded on, contrary to his better judgment, in Spain. Sir John, it seems, was ostensibly chief Commander, but Mr. Freer was to be commander in chief over him, precisely as Sir Hew Dalrymple, the ostensible commander in chief, in Portugal, was ordered by Lord Castlereagh, the prime mover of the whole business, to be directed by Sir Arthur Wellesley, his inferior in command, and whom he was appointed to succeed in rank and authority. It is with sincere pleasure we find that the Earl of Darnley has intimated his intention, in the house of Lords, to move an address to his majesty for a recital of this Mr. Freer from Spain, for his conduct to our late gallant and much lamented hero.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, June 15.
The house resolved itself into committee of the whole, on the bill for the support of the publick credit and for the redemption of the publick debt. Mr. Pitkin in the chair.
Mr. Quincy moved to strike out the whole of the section, excepting the enacting clause, in order to try the principles of the bill. A long debate ensued, in which Messrs. Quincy, Dana, Randolph, Macon, Tallmadge, Lyon and others spoke against the bill and in favour of striking out. Messrs. Eppes, V. M. Alston, Ross, Montgomery, Jackson and others spoke in favour of the bill. At a very late hour the question on striking out was taken and lost.
Mr. Dana then offered a proviso to the bill by way of amendment.
Mr. Randolph made a few observations on the amendment, when the committee rose and reported progress. The house then adjourned.
FRIDAY, June 16.
Mr. Lewis presented a petition of sundry inhabitants of the county of Washington, district of Columbia, praying that the road opened from the district line to the lower bridge on the eastern branch, be made, by law, a publick highway. Referred to the committee on the district of Columbia.
Mr. Macon from the committee to whom was referred the affair of Edward Livingston and the New Orleans Bature, asked to be discharged from any further consideration of the subject. Granted.
Mr. Macon then moved that the petitions and documents on the subject of the Bature, be referred to the attorney-general, and that he be instructed to collect such evidence as in his power respecting the title of the United States, to the Bature, and to report at the next session of congress. Laid on the table by direction of the mover.
Mr. Johnson from the committee of claims, on the petition of Hannah Foster, reported unfavourable. The report was ordered to be laid on the table and be printed.
Mr. Potter, had leave of absence from Monday next, for the remainder of the session.
The house then took up the unfinished business of yesterday—the loan bill. The house went into committee of the whole on the bill—Mr. Pitkin in the chair. Mr. Dana's amendment under consideration.
Messrs. Dana and Gold spoke in favour of the amendment.
Mr. Sheffy spoke with great force and precision against the amendment, and in favour of the bill. He was the first man on that side who took a fair and honest view of the subject. He was followed by Randolph, who gave full credit to his colleague for the manly and able manner in which he had met and investigated the question.
Mr. Wheaton made a few observations against the bill when the question for the amendment was taken and lost.
The committee then rose, and reported the bill without amendment. Before it was taken up in the house, Mr. Randolph made a motion to request the Secretary of the treasury to appear on the floor during the discussion of the bill, and give information on the same.
The question for considering the resolution was taken by yeas and nays and stood—yeas 61, nays 59. After some further debate, the question was taken by ayes and noes and lost; ayes 41, nays 83. The bill was then taken up by the house; a motion was made to lay it on the table to consider a motion offered by Mr. Dana, to call on the secretary of the treasury for information in writing. The question on the motion was lost.
Mr. Dana renewed his amendment, and called for the ayes and nays on the question.
Mr. Pitkin rose, and gave notice that as he had not an opportunity of speaking on this question (having been chairman of the committee) he must now offer his sentiments, and he hoped late as it was, that he should be excused. The majority who a few minutes before appeared to be driving all before them, were frightened at Mr. Pitkin's preamble. Their bellies told them that they could not support the pain of an evening session without refreshment; and Mr. J. G. Jackson offered, if Mr. Pitkin would give way, to renew the motion for adjournment, which had before been made and lost. Mr. Pitkin gave way and the house adjourned.
REPORT
Of Mr. B. Henry Latrobe, on Public Buildings.
The Vice President of the United States, President of the Senate of the United States. Capitol, June 12th, 1809.
SIR, By the direction of the president of the U. States, I beg leave to lay before you the following report: The work on the east side of the north wing of the capitol is so far advanced that there can be no reasonable doubt of the occupation of the permanent senate chamber by the house, at the ensuing session, provided the funds appropriated to complete the same be sufficient. In order to ascertain this point, I have referred to, and re-examined my former estimates, and find that the sum of 5,000 dollars, in addition to the balance of the former appropriation will be required, and will be sufficient to accomplish this object. This deficiency arises from expenditures incidental to the preparations for the present session; from the erection of the connexion between the two wings on the principal floor, and the reinstatement of the ceiling of the court room. I have also to state to you, that no provision whatever has been made for furnishing the senate chamber, its committee rooms, lobbies, and offices. Of the furniture now on hand, no part is applicable to the new apartments, excepting chairs of various descriptions, and a few tables. The desks of the senators are inconvenient from their size, and being each of a different length and form cannot be adapted to the regular distribution so necessary to the economy of space. Should the senate acquiesce in the proposition which has been suggested, and permit the rooms to be furnished with desks of two seats each, the present desks become also on that account quite useless.
The carpets now in use have in general undergone the wear of several years; and although a few of them may be made useful, there will be required at least 800 yards of new carpeting of a more durable kind than that now in the senate chamber. Excepting the draperies of three windows there are no hangings fit for use.
In order to prevent the echo, which is the great cause of difficulty in hearing and speaking in large apartments, it will be necessary to hang at least the circular wall of the chamber with drapery. These hangings will form a considerable item in the furniture required.
From the best calculation I have been able to make of the sum required for furnishing the senatorial apartments of the house (of which I submit a list,) 10,000 dollars will be sufficient to this object.
With the highest respect, I am, your most obedient humble servant,
B. HENRY LATROBE, S. P. B. U. S. List of the apartments of the Senate.
1. Lower vestibule and stairs requiring lamps.
2. Upper vestibule, to be furnished with carpets and chairs.
3. Senate chamber, the senator's chairs, and the secretary's table will be used.

For the apartments 4 to 15 there is no furniture whatever, excepting some chairs and a few tables.

Letter from Mr. Henry Latrobe, on repairs in the temporary senate chamber.
The vice president of the United States, president of the senate of the United States.
Capitol, Washington, June 12, 1809.
SIR—I herewith have the honour to lay before you an account of the expenditures on the temporary senate chamber, its galleries, committee rooms, and other conveniencies provided for the present session.
As far as they were applicable, the old materials of the house have been used in the solid parts of the work: for the rest I thought it best to make a single contract with Mr. George Bridport, who has fitted up, canvassed, papered, and painted the apartments, and found all other materials of every kind. The very high price of canvas, of which 548 yards were required, has enhanced the amount of this contract beyond what it would have been twelve months ago, by a large sum.
This account also includes the amount of upholsterer's work, in repairing furniture, carpets and hangings, and also the charges for new carpeting and hangings which have been presented to me for certification, in cases in which the work has been performed, or the articles delivered, by my direction, both for the present chamber, and for that occupied by the senate during the last session. Of this species of accounts, there are still some outstanding, which I have not been able to procure after repeated calls. The amount however is not, I believe, very considerable—200 dollars, perhaps, at the most.
The labour of our own workmen in all these arrangements is 356 dollars, and has been defrayed out of the general funds of the north wing.
Respectfully awaiting such arrangements as it may please your honourable body to make for the discharge of these accounts.
I am, with respect, Your obed't humble servant, B. H. LATROBE, Surveyor of the Publick Buildings U. States.
The Honourable Senate United States.

Charleston, June 13.
British felucca Fancy, Barret, Kingston, (J.) via Havanna—sailed from Jamaica on the 5th of May, left Havanna on the 2d inst. The day before leaving Havanna a British sloop of war came in with a French privateer a prize. There were two American gunboats at Havanna, Nos. 5 and 38—a seaman belonging to No. 5, who was left in charge of a boat on shore in the evening, while the rest of the boat's crew were absent, was knocked down with a musket and afterwards run through and killed by a Spanish centinel, and the boat carried off and never afterwards found. The governor of Havanna had taken the business into consideration, and it was supposed that the centinel would be brought to trial for murder. On the 4th inst. in the Gulph stream, captain Barret passed the British homeward bound Jamaica fleet, of about 120 sail.
The Elk sloop of war captured a French privateer in the Caicos passage a short time since; she was supposed to be the only French privateer then in the West-India seas.
A British frigate lately sailed from Jamaica, to summon the city of St. Domingo to surrender—it was understood that the place would be immediately given up to the British, on its being summoned.
New-York, June 17.

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 ad- vantageously divided into two or three Farms, the sub- scriber 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, lying on the Eastern branch of Elizabeth River, and distant from Norfolk Market only five or six miles by water, and 8 or 9 by land.—The soil is excellent, about one half of the tract being cleared land, and set for immediate culture; the o- ther heavily timbered with Oak, Pine, Ash, and Hickory.—It has also the advantage of several good landings.—Any one desirous to view the land, and to purchase, may apply, in the absence of the subscriber, to JAMES ROBINSON, or John Bracken, who reside in the neighbourhood. Fully Robinson. Dec 7.
Two Valuable FARMS for Sale. I offer the following Valuable Property for Sale, viz. my Farm in Harvey's Neck, and a Tract of Land lying on the N. E. side of Perquimans River, containing 106 acres (directly opposite the Farm), one other Tract con- taining 200 acres, lying on the S. W. side of said river, about four miles above the Farm, both these tracts are well tim- bered. I will also sell the FARM on which I live, and my wharf and Lots in Edenton, with the improvements. The Farm in Harvey's Neck contains 220 acres, 200 of which are clear- ed and in a high state of cultivation; in point of fertility of soil, it is not surpassed by any in this part of the state, the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of Wheat and Indian Corn, Wheat in particular, the White Clover grows (almost spontaneously) in the greatest abundance. I have made on this farm in one season from 30,000 hills, 320 barrels of Corn; this place is situated on the S. W. bank of Perquimans River, near the mouth of it, a delightful prospect, in an agreeable neighbourhood; on it is a convenient Dwelling-House, with every necessary out-house. The two Tracts on the same ri- ver are considered as appendages to this Farm, for the purpose of supplying it with rail timber, &c.—There is an excellent well of water, and the situation is considered to be as healthy as any in that part of the country; with the farm may be had from 15 to 20 good order Negroes, 100 head of sheep, 150 head of hogs, 40 or 50 head of cattle, horses, oxen, and all the farming utensils, &c. The Farm on which I live, contains 500 acres, 200 of which are cleared and under good fence and in prime order, the rest is covered with good timber; the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of wheat and corn, and with very little labour from 30 to 40 acres might be cultivated in Rice to great advantage; it is supposed (and I have no doubt of it) that this place would admit of having one of the best Herring and Shad Fisheries in this state, and could be carried on very extensively at a small expense; the situation is excelled by none, it lies on the bank of Albemarle Sound, being the N. E. point of the bay of Edenton, 4 miles by water and 5 by land from the town; it is an elevated situation and very healthy; there is on the Farm a convenient Dwelling- House and every necessary out-house, a most excellent well of water, a number of choice fruit trees, and a large garden newly inclosed, which affords the greatest abundance of ve- getables of every kind necessary for family use. This Farm is a most desirable situation for a gentleman who wishes to retire with his family on a country seat. With the Farm may be had from 10 to 20 valuable negroes, 75 to 100 head of sheep, 50 head of cattle, 100 to 200 head of hogs, horses, oxen, and every necessary implement of husbandry. The Wharf and Lots in Edenton is one of the best situa- tions in town for shipping business and a retail store; a large new Ware-House three stories high, stands on the head of the wharf, and several other houses. The property will be shewn, and the terms (which will be very moderate) will be known by applying to me. JOHN SKINNER. Moseley's Point, June 4, 1809. 14*

Eagle Fire Company of New-York. Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall Street. PROPOSALS For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandize, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having in- corporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the li- berty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole pur- pose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal pro- perty from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular sa- tisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and libera- lity, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patron- age of the publick. * * * No insured person will be liable to make good the los- ses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified.—The Company also make good losses on pro- perty burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire. No. I. HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or me- tal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not ex- ceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. II. HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not ex- ceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. III. HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceed- ing 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. IV. HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire. This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an in- crease of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c.—The pre- miums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden build- ings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same build- ing exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required. Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bak- ers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpen- tine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Car- penters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machi- nery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance. I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the of- fice of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for Insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the dis- trict of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and re- port thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just descrip- tion thereof, viz. of what materials each building is construct- ed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how other- wise; where situated; the name of the present occupier; or how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the in- surance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or per- sons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect. III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be de- clared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to co- ver such property. IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or Interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon.

Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same proper- ty, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy: and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall cease, and be of no effect: and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the pay- ment of a rateable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained. VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may hap- pen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil com- motion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever. VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured. IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy. X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as par- ticular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required: and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circumstan- ces of the person or persons insured; and do know, or ver- ily believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and until such affidavits and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable:—Also, if there appear any fraud.
value swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitu- tion or payment, by virtue of his policy. XI.

And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allow- ance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever. XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Sur- veyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and insure, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required. Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk. Feb 19. tf
DR. ROBERTSON'S Genuine Patent and Family Medi- cines, Celebrated for the cure of most diseases to which the hu- frame is liable. Prepared by T. W. DYOTT, M. D. THE CELEBRATED Stomachic Elixir of Health. (Price one dollar and Fifty Cents)
Which has proved by thousands, who have experienced its beneficial effects, to be the most valuable medicine ever of- fered to the publick, for speedily relieving and curing the cramp, pains, and wind in the stomach and bowels, carry- ing off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, tick- ness at the stomach, severe head ache, &c. For the dysentery or lax, cholera morbus, severe gripings, and other diseases of the bowels, and the summer bowel complaint in children, it has proved a certain remedy, and restored to perfect health from the greatest debility. Persons afflicted with pulmonary complaints, or disorders of the breast and lungs, even in the most advanced state, will find immediate relief. Common coughs and colds, which are generally occasion- ed by obstructed perspiration, will be found to yield to its benign influence in a few hours. In asthma or consumptive complaints, horseness, wheezings, shortness of breath, and the hooping cough, it will give immediate relief.
Patent Stomachic Wine Bitters. (Price One Dollar.) These celebrated and well known Bitters are composed purely of vegetables of the most innocent yet specific vir- tues, and are particularly recommended for restoring weak constitutions, cleansing and strengthening the stomach, and increasing the appetite; they expel worms in all ages, but from their simplicity and safety, are a most natural and ef- fectual vermifuge, when administered to children; they are gratefully warm, and pungently aromatic; they are ex- tremely serviceable in all seasons, but particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such total loss of appetite; they are also a certain preventa- tive against those complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent fevers and agues, long au- tumnal fevers, dysenteries, &c.
DR. ROBERTSON'S Vegetable Nervous Cordial, or, Nature's Grand Restorative, Is confidently recommended as the most efficacious me- dicine, for the speedy relief and cure of all nervous com- plaints, impurities of the blood, seminal weakness, and va- rious complaints, resulting from dissipated pleasures, resi- dence in warm climates, the immoderate use of tea, the un- skilful or excessive use of mercury, and diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life.
DR. ROBERTSON'S Celebrated Gout & Rheumatic Drops. A safe and effectual cure for the gout, rheumatism, lum- bago, stone and gravel, swellings and weakness of the joints, sprains, bruises, and all kinds of green wounds; the cramp, pains in the head, face and body, stiffness of the neck, chil- blains, frozen limbs, &c. Since the above invaluable medicines were first discovered by Dr. Robertson, upwards of Seven Hundred Thousand Persons have experienced their happy and salutary effects, many of whom from the greatest debility. These Medicines, which by being timely administered, will prevent the pro- gress of many fatal diseases. The Proprietor wishes to afford every information relative to the efficacy of the above Medicines in a small compass by exhibiting a list of exemplary cures, attested by respectable characters, for the satisfaction and encouragement of the af- fected:—for which purpose such cures have been selected at different times and been inserted, as might display the ab- solute power of phyick. But as the number of cases are now become so numerous, I am obliged, instead of identifying the particulars, only to print an abstract of several testimo- nials, referring the reader to peruse the pamphlet, left at the Book-Store of Messrs. BONSAL, CONRAD, & Co. Norfolk. June 5. tf
