MESSRS. MUNROE AND FRENCH.

[FROM THE 'BOSTON PAP,EIt.]
WASHINGTON, MARCH 10.—With this, I send •
you a paper, containing the Message of the Presi-
dent, yesterday communicated to Congress.—Thus
presented tto the public', is..sufficient to establish
its authenticity; but lest any' individual should
doubt the validity of the letters and, docu-
ments accompanying the Message, permit me
to state what took place before the Com-
mittee of t'oreign Relations, to whom they
were committed. Immediately on the adjourn--
ment of the House, the Committee directed their
Chairman to request the attendance of Mr. :Mun-
roe, the Secretary of State, to-meet with them in
the evening, at 7 o'clock, which he did, and he
exhibited to the Committee the original papers,
copies of which liad been communicated with the
Message," These papers being examined, Mr.
Munroe was asked,if he knew the hand-writing of
Lord Liverpool—and-lie did not hesitate to say,
that the letter from Lord Liverpool to Sir George
Prevost, were signed by him—he further stated,
that Mr. Pinkney, our late Minister at London,
was Well acquainted with the hand-writing of the
clerks employed in those offices, and that he de-
declared them to be authentic documents. Arid
further, one Gentleman of the Committee is well a
acquainted with the hand-writing of J. H. Craig,
late Governor of Canada.; and he is fully con-
vinced that thle instructions No. 2, and the Com-
mission No. 3, numbered in the documents, were
signed by him.
There was a stipulation on the part of Govern-
ment, that, the names 'of persons concerned with
Henry, in America, should not be insisted on—
this-was a condition on which he consented to'
give up the papers. He expressly said, he never
would, under .any. circumstances, betraying the
confidence they had placed in him—and that he
should not have hetray- the confidence of the
British .Government, if they had not been perfidious

Sevelal Russian regiments had arrived,

entirely composed of soldiers raised in Lithmatia.
Volhinyea, Padolio, or the Polish provinces, in-
corporated with the Russian "Empire. In return,
regiments of RusSian soldiors from the interior
have been detached from the banks of the Da-
tube, to the Polish frontiers. Polish' troops are
employed in preference, in* General Kuiusow's
army, but notwithstanding these reinforcements,
his army has suffered a considerable reduction.
The active army does not exceed 50,000 men, and
Including the garrisons of the strong places, .the
k'liole of General Kutusow's army at the very lit-
tlest, does not amount to more than 70,000 men.
pro eoinplete the regiments, many recruits are
raised among the Greeks of Wallachia, Bessarabia,
giiid Moldavia.
General Kutusow has entrusted the command
of the troops stationed opposite Rudschuck, and
in part concentrated near Giurgewo, to General
Langeron.

General Marcow still commands in Lesser Wal-
tcina. General Essen . has hitherto had the
vornmand of the left wing, but his speedy depar-
ture for Lithuania has been announced.

It is supposed Marcow will take the command
of the left wing of the army, and General Sass
resume that of the corps d'armee in Lesser Wal-
lachia ; his revuest to return to Russia has not
been granted. General Kutusow is still et Bu-
charest, but as his head-quarterslaVe been trans-
ferred to Brailow, • it is supposed he will shortly
proceed thither.

the side of Schumla, and is to receive large'rein-

VIEIINA, MAY 9.—On the 7th, there was a con-
ference of the Council of State ; it is supposed
the principal object of this conference wad, the
formation of a new corps of reserve, the command
of Which would be confided to Prince. Hohen-
zollern.

BOURDEAUX, MAY 14.—T0-day, in presence
of all the authorities of the town, the Temple
which the Jews hare had constructed for the ex-
cise of their religion., was ,clianlnly inaugurated.

Tire THEATRE.—The illountaincers was repre-
vented last night at the Hal-market Theatre, and
Mr. SALTER made..his first appearance in the
part of Octavian. As this part was pUrposely
*ritten for the chief tragedian of the age, and
Ilaspeeuliarly adapted to his powers, every suc-
essur must of coulle labour under great disad-
vantage. We cannot give a very favourable ac-
- eount of Mr. S. even without any consiaeration of
°lnparative merit. His person is tolerable, but his
fae4 is not capable of much expresSion. There is an
Inequality in his voice, some of his tones being
/ie-ry strong, and others very feeble. In an inferior
lank he niay'be found a useful actor, but he does
11,10 t seem qualified for -the higher range of the
Pima. A Mrs. DALTON also carne forward, for
the first time, in the part of. Fioranthe. Her
/lesson altogether- is rather interesting, aiid she
Ileetned to play with feeling, but was much too
redundant in her action, partiCularly in' the use of
i -er arms. Mr. GRANT made a respectable stand
111 Roque. MrS. ILitAi4s was the Agnes, but
*le seemed to havers little conception of the part
4:4, of the proper manner of dressing it; for instead
ppearing life a Moorish; Girl, she was attired
4(e a Bond-street Belie., The play altogether was
Veil received.

ACADEMY.—We 'regret that we have
so little opportunity of attending to the Ex-
') oition this year, as it contains many works that.
deserve a very commendatory notice. •

ASSASSINATION OF M PZIICE :'.'_L.

A Requisition baying been presented to the
High Sheriff of the County of Surrey, 7.-IF a
great number of Noblemen and .Cientieu,,,:‘,. ft;
convening aMeeting'to address the Prin;:at
on the:atrocious r6urder of the Right Iloilo t. role
Spencer Perceval, the Meeting was held yez;.-.fday
at the Spread Eagle, Epsom.
Soon after one o'clock there was a very full at-
attendance of the most distinguished Tenons in
the County. Among those present, we observed
the Duke'of Norfolk, the Earl of Roches, Lord
Viscount Cranley, Sir John Prederick, Sir Thos.
Turton, Messrs; H. and R. Thornton, Mr, lio!me
S'uniner, Bz.e.

The HIGHSHERIFF Statetityßequisitism andthe
object of the Meeting, and hoped that the subject
would be impartially
(and fairly considered, and
that every Gentleman would 'receive a patient
hearing.
lAA Viscount. CRANLEY then came forward to
propose an Address upon the subject. The Noble
Lord ,observed, that. the Meeting was assembled
for the :purpose of shaping an Address to his -
Royal Highness the Prince Regent, expressing
their regret 'at the late
,melancholy catastronhe.
He had attended a Meeting upon the same sib-,
ject in London, at which an Address had been
proposed and adopted, so, framed as to meet, the
ideas of all present, whatever was.. their political
bias. A paper. of that description he now held
in his hand ; it had been shown to (a Noble Per-
son present, (the puke 'of Norfolk) who approv-
ed of it entirety, and he trusted itj Would meet the
approval of the Meeting also. lie had to observe;
that the Address was to have been moved by Mr.
Howard, and to have been seconded by Sir. Yoseph-
l'4awhey, but from unadvoidable causes those
Gentlemen could not attend ; the, task therefore
had fallen upon him and his Noble Friend, the
Earl of Rot„hes. The Noble Lord then read the
• Address, which of course was expressive -of the
loss which the country had sustained,. and con-
doling his Highness upon that loss. To this
Address the Noble Lord hoped there would be
no objection.
The Earl of ROTHES seconded the Addresseand
regretted, as the Noble Mover had,observed, that
the task had not fallen into abler hands. There
was, however,' little to be said upon the subject,
for the Address seemed to be so very upbjection-
able, that he thought it would meet 'the unani-
mous approbation of the meeting., There could
be but one opinion of the private character and
virtues of the late lamented Mr, Perceval ; and the
attrocity of the crime which deprived the world,of
his abilities, must excite the abhorrence of every
person in the empire.
The Address was then read by the High Sheriff,
Mr. R. TITORNTON, M. P. could not avoid'ex-
pressing the high gratification which he felt at the
unanimity iviiich pervaded this most respectable
and numerous meeting. It was what he had ex-
pected from .the county. At the same time that
he congratulated them on that unanimity, he could
not but sinc,erely, lamer:. the loss of a man like Mr.
Perceval, whOse private virtues' had called forth so
strong and universal an expression of the public
fettling. In calling forth that feeling, it was ob-
servable that there was no description of ptnone,
whatever were their politics, but lamented his. loss..
With-respect to the crime which had deprived
_tie
country of his services,
,for an individual like the
culprit to take vengeance for his wrongs (if, as
he supposed, 'they were wrongs) into his own
hands, was a principleeso dangerous to the well-
being of civilized ,soeiety; as could not be too
strongly reprobated. But the very satisfactory letter.
of,Lord Leveson Gower; the British Ambassador at
the court of RuSsia, had removed all doubts of
those. wrongs. The' injuries, of which the culprit
complained, had occurred' in consequence of. a
private debt which he owed. That debt, which
he 'resisted the payment of, was referred to the
"arbitration of four persons; two of them English-
: men, and two Russians, and they aWarded it to ,
be .due;', for the non-payment of that debt the
culprit was imprisoned. Upon representation to
the British ArnbaSsador that a British subject
was. aggrieved, he interfered; and though the
matter was of a private nature, yet, by his kind-
ness, the culprit was liberated, and came home;
and then, 'though it appeared that the Governs
ment had nothing to do with his supposed wrongs,
he. wished them to ; take them up on public
grounds; they could not interfere.; and then he
committed that act which was so abhorrent to the
nature of t ngliShrnen, and of which there was
but one opinion and one sentiment. After con-
gratulating the Meeting'upon the unanimity which
• was apparent, he said he should not touch on any'
subject which might disturb that unanimity, and
excite a discordance- of
.opinion. The present,
hoWever, was a crisis of great public moment, to
which the public attention was naturally and
anxiously directed, he trusted 'and hoped that the
result of the measures now on foot would lead
not only to the permanent happiness and tranqui-
lity of this country, . but of the empire at large.
At all times he should be proud to obey their
wishes.

On the question being put,
Sir THOMAS TURTON expressed his. cordial ap-
probation of the address. No man could more
sincerely participate in the regrets which it con-
tained. But having for Several years acted in po-
litical opposition to Mr-Perceval, he might be
allowed to say, that to the moment of the death
of his lamented departed friend, he had felt the.
utmost personal attachment for him. The situa-
tion of the country had been truly stated by Mr.
Thornton—a situation which required the great
talents of Mr. Perceval—his loss was therefore to
be deplored in a public point of view, for the loss
of such a man was indeed a loss to the country !
Mr. H. ,THORNTON, M. P. Sympathised with
those Gentlemen who had preceded 'him, in the
loss which the country had sustained. , He was
happy to state that the crime was committed by
'an insulated individual, unconnected with any
other pers?n, or attached to any party. All par-.
ties had agreed in expressing their abhorrence of
the crime, andiu'sheaving their discountenance of
any 'violation of the law.
The .Address was then put, and carried
mously.
It was thee proposed, that the High Sheriff,

attendert by the Alembpirs for. the County, and
other Gentlemen, do present the saine 'to his
Royal Highness the Prince Regent.—Ordered.
Tim 'llimks of. the Meeting were then voted
to thb iii h Sheriff', who returned Ids acknow-
ieth;nient.i.

After some 'observations from Mr. li.,Sumner,,

Mr., R. TIIORNTON observed, that he would
make the necessary inquiries, and inform the Sher
i ll' and the Gentlenien of the time when. the Ad-
d ess could be received, and .then he should be
happy to see them at his hotve to go up with it.
The Meeting was then adjourned.

On Saturday the Earl of BUCKINGITAMSHIETZ
i'as sworn in as Chancellor of the Duichy of
LANCASTER; in the room of the late Mr. PERCE.
VAL. The reason assigned for this is, the pre-
ceptscito summon a jury and witnesses foeetheriat
of the rioters could not issue Witheut the Chan-
ce-tic-Ws fiat. We. presuine, therefore, , that this
appointment is merely of a temporary nature..
The Times of tbis morning contains the follow-
ing paragraph e--,-We have heard that the' Author
of the threatening letter, for whose discovery a
thousand pounds were lately offered in the Gazette,
has come forward.. We do not pretend to ascer-
tain the motives which could' have induced, the
dealer in this haeardous and lofty correspondence,
to make "iasenrance, double sure," and save him-
self from alLtrouble of evading Ministerial and
Princely Indignation. It has been. said, that the
offer of the I'oool, was too tempting for his4ove of
privacy ; and that he came forward like the libeller
On Sextua the sth, to receive the reward of hi§Own
discovery. We hope, however, the Pope's ex-,
ample will not be followed in the present instance,
and that the offender will be let 'loose unmulcted
either of his tongue or his fingers. He turns out
to be the person who has so long persecuted the
Duke of Norfolk by claims on the title.; and is, -as
we conceive, obviously not a suitable 'subject for
any species of punishment: There is, however,
a more reasonable account of the detection. A
few days since, shortly after the threatening letter
was received at Carlton House, this Mr. H. called
at JefferY's, the bookseller, in Pall Mall, and
begged of him to stop a letter, addressed to, the
Prince Regent, and which was then in the. Ge-
neral Post Office boX, in the window. He was,
of course, told, that his request could not be
complied with. Yesterday it occurred to Mr. Jef-
fery to conannuticate this ciecurastanceto Colonel
Bleotinield; and fab discovery followed.
The CartWe Journil, received yesterday, states
that tumult and disorder at patseat prevail in that
neighbourhood;: and to -a greater extent than at
any time sinie the disturbances first broke out.—
It then procee,eda to enumerate. a' variety of

' At ,a Regimental Court-martial of the Ist Regi-

EDMOND MALONE, ESQ.—The friends of litera-
ti:tie and private worth, 'end particularly the ad.-
our great dramatic Bard, still join with
uS in sincere re?-ret at, the death of this gentle-
man, which took 'place yesterday morning at his
house iii Foley-place. Few men 'enjoyed hnlth
less interrupted than Mr. Malone,' until the vt;'..l
powers suddenly lost their tone; and, from t'ce
early symptom-, ,liis,friends 'were not allowed to de-
ceiVe themselves with any expectations oftccovcry.
He had the consolation of shis sister's affectionate
assiduities in his last moMents, and the anxio:ll
inquiries of alcing list -of 'illustrious friends. ' Mr.
Malone had the great happiness to live with the
Most distinguished characters of his time ; he seas
united in 'the closest intimacy with Dr., Johnson,
Mr. Burke, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Lord Chariq-
mont, and the other members cf a soci:rty, which-
for various talent and virtue can never be sup-

Inirers

passed. • • ,
Mr., Malone is best knoTji to the world by the
distinction upon which he most prided himself,
his association with the name of Shr.kespeare.—
Like Mr. Stevens; be devoted his life and-his for.
tune to the task of making the great Bard better
understood by his countrymen. As kn editor this
is the peculiar fame of /Edmond Malone, that he
could subdue• the temptations to display his cams
wisdom or wit, and consider only the integrity of his
author's text. For,rnany years, 'Shakespeare's page
was the sport of innovation and men, who knew
nothing of the ancient language of their country,
suggested as arnendinents of a corrupt text, phra-
seology that the father of the British Drama ne-
ver could have written. 'Mr. Malone, still more
pertinaciously than Mr. 'Steevens, adhered to the
ancient copies. To obtain them was the great
effort -of his life, and a large part of his very
derate fortune was devoted to purchases, to him
of the first necessity, to many collectors, of idle
curiosity. - The library of Mr. Malone was acces-
sible to every scholar, and in any difficulty his sa-
gacity and experience were received, and grate-
fully acknowledged by.men themselves of profOund
The' last article which he printed was a sketch
of his friend. Windham's character, and he distri-
buted it privately among his acquaintance .---Since

the year 1/90, 'he had been Ze;dously continuing
those,laboiirs; Which in' that year produced his
edition of Shalispeares Plays and Poems; Had
a he .lied to carry a second edition through the
press, :the world'wculd have received a large ac-
cession to; its knowledge- of Shakspeare. From
the careful habit Which he had of entering- every
new acquisition in its proper place, and the ac•
curate references, which he made to the t;ources

of his information," we should apprehend there
will be little difficulty in the carrying this design
into effect; With such a stack of materials as
perhaps no otiler 'Man than Mr. Malone could
have Collected; the executor of his critical will
can have only -a.`delightful task.
Mr. Malone died unmarricct He.wa.s the bro-
ther of ,Lord Sunderlin; and, had he survived his
Lordship, would have succeeded to the title, the
remainder being in only remains to'
notice the moral qualities of this lamented charac-
ter: Few men ever possessed greater command of
teniper ;• it characterized. his,virtues 5. they were all
Of the gentle, yet steady kind. To form new friend
ships could hardly be ?expected from one who had
survived the most distinguished ornaments of the
werids; but they left their priiicipleS to him as a le-
gacy; and hdnever lost an cpportunityof stigmatisi ng
the innovators, who, tinder the pretence of reform-
ing, were really debasing the oh.3racter of the'c onn-
try : this erigendered. a knot of enmities, which
tried to, annoy him by daring falsehood and dull

a man, he needs no -vindication.

Mr. BROUbHAM, from the length of time which
the inquiry into the Orders in Council had occu-
pied, felt that it would be out of his' power to
bring forward his motion ,on the subject at the
time he had named. If to be enabled to
close his examination of those. witnesses 'he had
to call that night, and -wished to know how long
the Gentlemen opposite expected the House would
bt occupied in the examination of those witnesses
they had to bring forward ? From a communica;
tion he had had with an Hon. Gentleman, and
other circumstances, he was led to suppose that
the House would not be long so occupied) but,
upon the whole, he did not think it would be
practicable for., him to_ submit his motion to the
House so -earlv as he had intended. He would
therefore mow, that the- Call of the House should
be postponed to Wednesday fortnight. •
Lord CASTLEREAGU had no objection to the
eAI being so postpone 4
Mr. BROUGIiA,M wished to knbw if the Right
11 on. Gcndemar.i (Mr. Rose) could give any thing
l'ke an idea of the time that would elapse before
the Lai-airy could dose ?,
Mr .:Rose thought the witnesses he had to call
would not: take up the time of the House more
than two or three cl)ys, but he objected to the
motion of the Hon. Gentleman being. brought
foiwaid so early, as it seemed to be his intention
t ; bring- it for aid in the pre-sent situation 'of

thincS.
Mr. BRouGHAM said,. the notice of his motion
went on the supposition that, within that time,
fie. nation would have the benefit of an Admini-
s.ration to direct its affairs.
-Mr. ROSE answered, that no man. more sin-
ce-rely wished . that might be_ the case than him-
but still he thought: the Motion of the Hon.
taid Learned Gentleman would he,premature, as
he could hardly exp6ct that . Ministers would be
able, within so short a time, to appear again in
their places.
Dr. DuturNAN\ objected to the .call being kept
over the House.
\lr. BROUGHAM shortly replied, after .which
the House was ordered to be called over on Wed-
ne.iday fortnight.
_Lord CASTLEREAGH, adverting to several no-
tices that had been given,-aud particularly to ,the
notice of a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr.. Ca-
nning,), suggested the propriety of postponing

With respect to the South American market, to
which, however, or to the West' Indies, ,he had
shipped but little, his evidence is :
Do you happen to know whether the Birming-
ham goods suit the South American market ?
From the specimen I have of them, I do not think
they do ; at Rio there is nothing can equal the
ignorance of the people there ; I made up about
thirty paekages that were exactly adapted to the
United States, of what we call heavy goods, and
that would suit any civilised country ; they were
composed of rat-traps, fire-irons, hand-saws,
joiners' tools, and nails.
Were those rat-traps and other, articles 9f a
good manufacture ?—They could not be better.:
I do not like speculation in any shape or any way,
and I made up those packages, si3pposing if they
did not suit at Rio, they might he very easily
shipped for the United States, where I knew they
would meet with a good market, and' yield me a
very handsome profit ; but on their being entered
at Rio, I, found the duty upon them was very se-
rious, and that that duty would not be allowed on
re-shipment, which the common case at other
,plaees ; ' and what is worse, those rat-traps and
hand-saws were not known to the individuals,
they did not know how td use them ; and what
hopes can there be in such a trade as that ? 1 had
been on that part of the Continent, and having
seen ;he abundance of vermin, I thought that
they would be a very important article', bat
when they got there, they did not know how to
use them.

Mr. Potts confirms what had been previously
given in evidence respecting the progress of •ma-
nufactures in America. He had a letter that
stated that some individuals had united in a body,
and applied to COngress for a charter in which
they had subscribed 1,500,000 dollars to com-
mence a manufacture of brass and iron wares.; I
have it not with me : but I have at home two in-
terior sketches of a copper minein, New Jersey,
where the individuals offer a very, strong induee-
ment to any person that will go there,`and take a
few miners to work it ; the negroes dare not go
out of sight of daylight, and therefore they. make
but very little progress ; but we had some of those
ores, and assayed them, and they . appeared, .If
reoollect right, to be about thirty per cent in va-
lue, which was twenty per cent. beyond the ave-,
rage standard of Cornwall.
• But if the intercourse were, to be speedily
thrown open, as a mercantile man, lie would not
apprehend any danger to our trade from the corn,
petition of the American manufactures; with, .cur
Birmingham wares. If, says he, I maybe allow-
ed to say What has crossed our mind, is,. that many
individdals are embarking their capital in this'Ma-
niffacturing system in the United States, .in Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, and -Baltimore ;
and we know very well, that when gentlemen lay
their property out in mills or engines or machine-
ry which can be appropriated to no other" use,
they must follow that on ; -they cannot retract.
Though he had ceased: .shipping any thing for
America for the last twelve or fifteen months ; if
the Orders in Council were rescinded, he would
immediately ship to America. I would, says he;
do it to-morrow, if I were in Liverpool; because
we have positive and 'specific instructions from
our correspondents in America (the risk is with
them), the moment the Orders in Council are off,
to ship immediately.
Being asked, can you produce those orders from
your correspondents in America ?--I have not
them with me ; I have scores of them at hothe ;
they are all in the same strain,

To what places used. you in former times to ex-
port on the Continent ?—To. Germany, Italy,
Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and re-
cently to the Brazils and South America.
Did you export thither to a considerable ex-
tent ?—To a considerable extent ; from fifty to
eighty thousand a year ; sometimes more. r
Were you. acquainted hi general with the state
of the ,hardware export trade to those parts
Yes, from my own exports I knew the trade ; and
generally, as Chairman of the Chamber of Fo-
reign Commerce, I had " some means of knowing
the exports of others : .we used frequently at our
meetings to Con-verse on the subject of our ex-

ports.
Has the export trade of hardware to those
parts, within your knowledge, increased or dimi-
nished of late years ?—Decreased very materially,.
my own ; and; I believe, -Mose of most of my
neighbours.
Has it increased since the year 1807 ?—lt has
been upon the decrease since then, and particu-
larly of late, within these last three or four years,
and more particularly for the last year.
Has there been any considerable export to Ger-
many, Italy, s'witzerland, and the other countries
mentioned by you, of Birmingham articles, during
the last three years ?—I have exported none my-
self for some few yLtrs back, and I believe very
few have been exported to those countries.
Have, you -ever. exported to any considerable
amount to South America ?..—Not to a large
amount ;, at the first opening I exported a little,
and in the year 1808, or rather the Spring of
1809, I exported' again.
The witness then confirms the evidence of the
other witnesses as to the failure of the specula-
tiOns to South Ameriea, adding, that'll& never
wished to hear of the goods he first shipped for
that quarter, and that in order to avoid a heavy
loss, he mlist wait 'for the returns on the later
shipthents.
He also
:corroborates their testimony as to the
distressed state of the workmen in Birmingham,

ployed in the American trade, and 25,000' in .the
