Every Parent and Tutor will be instantly struck with the use-
fulness and importance of this new Cathechism, which begins with
teaching tho Child to count 'Ten and name the Days in the Week,
and proceeds by easy steps to the definition .ad explanation of
all kinds of familiar and common objects. It bears in fact, as to
the business of life, and the first principles of general knowledge,

WASHINGTON, JAN. 11.

In the Sedate, Mr. I. Q. Adams has proposed ,the
following motion. viz. 44 Resolved, that a Committee '
be appointed to enquire at what period the present
embargo can, consistently with the public interest, be
removed ; and whether, in what =miler, and to
what extent, upon its removal, the merchant vessels
of the United States shall be permitted, ht defence of
their lawful commerce, to be alined against and re-
sist foreign aggressions."
It appears from the Amtsricin papers, that Mr.
Randolph has so far succeeded in his itttack upon
General Wilkinson, as to have induced Congress, on
the lttth of January, to appoint a Special Committee
to enquire into the charges alledged against him.—
The heads of accusation are, his having, while in the
service of the United States, corruptlyreceived money
from the Governmeat of Spain or its agents, and of
having been an accomplice, or otherwise concerned,
With the agents of a foreign GoVernment.
According to other articles, there had been an in-
surrection in the county of Kennebeck, Massachussets,
and the militia had been called out.
The sailors in the different ports have met in bodies
of a disorderly nature, particularly in New York, and
the Magistrates were obliged to interfere.
Mr. Jefferson has declared, that if there should be a
war, he will accept again the Presidency.
A letter has been received fiom Boston, dated 25th
.Tanuary, stating, That the Orders of the British
Council did not arrive until the 2241 and-that Mr.
Rose reached Washington on the la ; and that he
continued there at the date of the latest advices."
JAN. 17.1—Yesterday the British Envoy Extraor-
dinary (Mr. Rose) was formally introduced to. Mr.
Jefferson, by the Secretary of State. As this was
Imre -Matter of ceremony; usuhing.material transpired.
' This day. Mr. Rose, accompanied by Mr. Erskine
waited on Mr. Clinton, Vice President, und.several
other Officers of Clovenrment.
. .
This place is extremely prolific in reports. Among
those of to-day is the following, which Iby no means
intend you should believe, though it is certainly not
very far removed from probability :—lt is said that
M. Turreau has openly expressed his disapprobation
at our Govenimentcondescer ding to receive Mr. Rose,
and that if he is continued to be recognized as British
Envoy, he will demand his passports.
Extract of a letter from Washington, to the Editor
of the Philadelphia Gtizrtic :
44 It is unquestionably true, that Turreau, for a long
time past, has been jealous of Mr. Erskine. The fol-
lowing circumstance is an evidence of the fact :
Some days past, M. Turreau waited on Mr. Ma-
dison at his office. Previous to entering his apart-
ments, he enquired—' I hope Mr. Erskine is not with
the Secretary ;' upop being answered in the affirma-
tive, he appeared offended, and said, jibe went to the
Secretary of State, there was Mr. Erskine ; if to the
Navy department, there was Mr. Erskine ; if to the
Secretary at War, there was Mr. Erskine; the Go-
vernment has but one ear, and that is given to the
English Minister."

CHARLESTON, JAN. 20s
EMBARGO.—What the effects of this act will be
abroad, we are to learn hereafter ; but those which it
is producing at home, we begin to feel pretty sharply;
rice, which some weeks since sold briskly at three dol-
lars fifty cents, is now nominally but one dollar, 76
cents. Black seed cotton has fallen from 34 cents. to
22 or 25, and no sale ; and corn down to 56 cents:
The North Carolina Price Current says, flour is
down two dollars '25 cents. the barrel ; and tobacco
to two dollars 50 cents. the hundred weight. Such is
the beginning of the embargo measure ; but what
will be the end ? -
'The House of Representatives, on the 28th, expres-
sed its approbation of the conduct of the National An-
' ministration, by 178 against 81.
JAN. 19.—For several days past there has been no
business of consequence before the House, except
passing the following Resolutions :
That it is expedient to increttse the military establishment by
raising regiments of Inftlntry, Artillery, Riflemen, and

Cavalry
That it is expedient to augment the Mat ine Corps.
And that it is expedient to 'authorize the President to employ
on board the gun boats as many seamen as the public service may
require.
The Senate has been on executive business, pro-
bably to confirm the nomination' of a negociator to
confer with Mr. Rose. Mr. Maddison, it is expected,
will be the man, and that the negociition will com-
mence immediately.
BOSTON, JANUARY 25.
More tumultuous meetings amongst the American
seamen ! To the account of their several meetings
in this town and New York, we have now to add a
similar occurrence in Philadelphia. A large body of
these indigent men met in that city ou Saurday week,
'and presented themselves before the City Hall, re-
questing of the Magistrates employment or subsistence.
The Mayor appeared, and addressed them as follows:

All cOmmuniation by post, or otherwise, between

From travellers arrived from Denmark yesterday, the
last that got over, they report, that the French enter-
ed Holstein on the 4th, and that apartments were
taken at Copenhagen for Ber4adotte, when they left
it ; and, as we know that every ship in the Danish
harbours is put in requisition for the purpose of trans-
porting troops, we may expect to be from day to
day of the commencement of operations. A consi-
derable number of troops are marching for this town;
quarters are already taken for 40G0. The Russian
ConsuLhere remains under arrest, and a guard of 12
men with an Officer, a•tend his house. The same
has been done to the Russian Minister (Alopeus) at
Stockholm. This rigorous measure was taken in
consequence cf the treatment of the Swedish Minister
(Stedenck) has received at Petersburgh, who, some
accounts say, has been sent to Moscow.
We learn that the ice which was in the Sound has
been nearly entirely dispersed. A N. W. wind will
totally clear the passage.
GRIPSHOLM CASTLE, MARCH 6g
His Rural Majesty received yesterday afternoon a
cornier from Lieutenant General Klutker, with the
following Report from the head quarters, dated Ta-
wastchns, Feb. 29, 1808 :
" The enemy having compelled our advanced
posts, as mentioned in my former report of the 25th
inst. to fall back from the frontiers, part of the fast
brigade posted near Forsby, under the orders of Colo-
nel Grepenberg, whom I ordered to perform the
functions of Adjutant General, was attacked on the
26th instant, early ifi the morning, by the enemy far
superior in numbers, and as his corps was in danger
of being surrounded, he Was forced,after having made
a most gallant resistance, to retreat, closely pursued
by the enemy. The second brigade, commanded
by Colonel Adjutant General Addercreutz, Knight,
was also attacked on the 23th, near Artsio ; and in
the night between the 27th find 28th, near Kakala,
by an enemy's carps greatly superior its numbers, but
the'enemy was received wi h the most distinguished
valour, and repulsed. The communication between
the two brigades being interrupted by the retreat of
the corps, which had -been posted near Forsby, I was
obliged to order the second brigade to change its po-
sition) by which movement both brigades have come
nearer this city ; the former by Meuzela, and the
latter by Lachies, and the left wing of the second
brigade being joined by the regiment of East Bothnia:
the whole corps now occupies a more concentrated
position. All these operations engaged so much the
attention of the army, and took up so much of our
time, that it was impossible to drive away all the
cattle and remove the provisions, as I intended should
be done. Yet the loss of magazines, as well as that
`of killed and wounded, is but very trifling on our part,
nor have we lost any officers, except Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Sjernwall, who was taken prisoner, and not one
piece of our ordnance has fallen into the enemy's
hands.
" I humbly beg leave to add, that both officers and
men of your Majesty's army in this quarter have done
their duty in the most distinguished manner ; nor have
the base and treacherous attempts of the enemy to se-
duce them from their loyal attachment to their King
and Country made the slightest impression upon
them."

44 The same day that the first brigade retreated
from Forsby, I ordered a fellow to be apprehended at

goner in Louisa, were found, besides a passport from
the Russian Commander in Chief, General Buzliov-
den, 24 copies of a Proclamation in the Swedish and
Finnish language, addressed to the soldiers in Finland.
I enclose a copy of this Proclamation, which the pri-
soner was prevailed upon, by the Russian Comman-
