Additional provision for the sick aud dis
abled American seamen.

The following memorial from the go.
verners of the Hospital, in the city of n
York, was presented to the Senate by Mr..
Mschil; it exhibits the suffering conditi
on of sick and disabled AMrerica1E seaman,
in our OVID ports, owing 10 deficiency OF
the peculiar application Of the fund intend
ed for their relief.
To the Senate and House Of Representa-.
tives OF the United States of America,
in Cengres assembled.
The Governors of the Hospital ia the city
Of New York,
Respectfully shezs:-
THAT for severalyearspastthe sick and
disabled seamen inthe port n. York have
been received into the Hospital under their
care. That for the board, nursing, medi-
cine 8. attendance of such seamen, sum
has been agreed upon between your me.
morialisls and The Collector of the port of
" York; which has been regularly paid and
is considerably less than what is charged
ia other states for the same object.
This arrangement, your membrialists
believe, has been eminently beneficial TO
the seam>n, and attended with the greatest
economy of the funds destined for their
support.
That your memorialists nave expended
very censiderable'sums in making additions
and improvements to the buildings and
grounds of the Hospital so as to afford am.
pie aid convenient accommodations for the
sick and disabled. That the collector of
the port of New York, acting under the
direction of the secretary of the treasury
of the U States, has since the Beginning
of July one thousand eight hundred and
iaur, limited the number of seamen to be
admitted into the Hospital, on account of
the United States to seventy FIVE at any
one time.
In consequence of the very great and in.
creasing commerce and navigation of the
port of New York, larger number of sea.
men have applied tor admission into the
Hospital; and the governors considering
that these unfortunate persons, having paid
their Hospital money to the United States,
were entitled to public support, and if re.
jected, would be thrown upon the charity
of their tellow.citizens, have never refus.

Behdcs the complete publication ofour mea-
fures for the peaceable defence and protection
OF our fuffering trade and fezmen, aud of our
endangered agriculture & manufactures, which
rifles from this curfory review of the Brtijh
conduct, another important imprefIion will be
made on our minds. The friends OF public e.
conomy and peace, and the enemies Of expenfe,
diorder and war, will clearly perceive that the
mere pofleiiion Of a great navy has enabled G
Britain to be extremely uniuR, and to depart
from that political morality, which ihe owes to
herfef, to the neutraIs, and 10 the world. We
have no reaGon TO fuppofe that men on the WEI
tern will be better than their brethren on the
eaitern COATS of the Atlantic, and we have
therefore reafon to apprehend, that, with an
equal navy, we might have returned war UPON
England, or placed ourfelves perhaps upon the
lit of the opprenors Of our innocent rivals, or
lefs potent neighbors. The pofefiion of eight
hundred fighting ihips is to be under eight HIM
dred influencesto foreign war and neutral OPP
prelIion.
Permanent navies, quite as much as BANDING
armies, lead government to beguile their CT
tiZens into immenle and fatal credits TO the pub.
lie. BY the new year the creditors of Great
Britain will have, in Europe and the colonies,
claims upon that government to an amount III.
tie Sort Of three thoufdEd millions Of Ameri.
can dollars, at their proper valuation. !,

RATISBON, Auguf 1.

This day M. Bacher, Charge D'AGaires Of
! rance, -e-:::ittsd 70 the Diet the foIlnwirr
note:
" The undersigned Charge D'Affaires of his
maJeity the emperor of the French and king of
Italy, at the general Diet of the Germanic en-
pre-, has received orders from his majefty to
make the following declarations
Their majefties the kings of Bavaria and
Wirtemberg, the foyereign princes of Ratifbon,
OF Baden, of Hefc Darmfadt, of NaiIau, and
the other principal princes Of the South and
Wet of Germany, have taken the refolution TO
form among themfeIves Confederation, which
places them in fafety from all the uncertainties
OF the future, and they have ceafed to be Rates
of the empire
Z" The fituation in which the treaty of Pref
burg placed directly the courts allied to France
and indirectly the princes whom they furround,
and who are their neighbours, being incompati-
bic with the condition ola fate of the empire,
IT became necefIary for thofc courts, and for
the princes, to arrange on a new plan the fytem
of their relations, and to caufe to difappcar an
inconfifteDcy which would have been a per-
mancnt fource ofagitation, of inquietude, and
of danger.
" On her fde, France, 70 efTentially intereh-
ed in maintaining the peace ofthe South of Ger
many, and who could not doubt, that the mo-
ment when fhe ihould have caufed her troops
to repafs the Rhine, difcord, an inevitable con-
fequenee of relations contradictory or uncer-
tain, III defined and I'LL underftood, would have
expofed to new danger the repofe of nations,
and again, perhaps, lighted up a war upon the
Continent: bound, beides, to promote the
welfare of her Allies, and to enable them to en-
Joy all the advantages which the treaty of Pref
burg fecured to them, and which fhe had qua
ranteed, France could only fee in the Confede-
ration, which they have formed natural corfe-
quence and necef1ary completion ofthe Treaty.
" For a long time, fucCeiIive changes, which
have gone on augmeatiDg from age TO age, had
reduced the Germanic Contribution to be only
a ihadow ofit!clf. Time bad changed all the
relations of grandeur and offtrength which ORR
glnaly exited among the members of the Com
federation, and between each Of them, and the
whole of which they made part. The diet
had ceafed to have a will that belonged to itGclf.
The fenteBces Of the fupreme tribunals could
not be put in execution. Every thing atteftcd
an enteeblementio great, that the federation tie
no longer preiented any guarantee, and among
the powerful was only a caufc Of dilIention and
diicord. The events Of the three coalitions
carried this enfeeblement to its uimoft length

westward the squadron under my orders
being then on the larboard tack, stretching
in for ChaSseron Light House, SIX or seven
leagues from US, the Revenge to windward
and The Monarch to leewaid on the look
out, the latter ship first making a signal for
ali enemy, when l soon discovered seven
sail TO the leeward of me and considering
them, In part, line of battle ships, the sig
nal was made to form the line, and shortly
after observed them bearing up, making
all sail, and running to the s. S. w. The
signal was instantly made for a general
Chace, and the Monarch from her position
and good sailing, was enabled to keep near
ly within gun shot, mile and a half or little
more, a head Of the CentdAY. and the Mars
on the starboard-bow. At day light We
made them out Eve large French tI1gates,
and two corvettes, one Of which bearing a
brond pendant at five the Monarch fred a
few chase shot and at SIX the wcathernost
! trigate hauled more TO the westward, in
pursuit Of which | dispatched the Mars !;
and one .tirigatc, with the two corvettes
edged away to the southeast, the remaining
three frigates keeping in close order, indl-
eating the intention Of supporting each 9TH
