The following resolutions, which have
passed the Senate OF New-York unanimously,
and were pending on the lSt instant, before
the House of Representatives, by whom they
will unquestiohably be adopted, reject honor
on their mover, De wit Clinton, aud the pa.
tIiotism of the state Of New-York. They
please us, because they possess nerpr, a qua
lily most emlnently required at this time in
every public man. Let domestic treason
realise that it will be crushed, the instant
1t lifts its hideous front. and it will shrink
appalled, into annihilation. There is not on.
ly nerve, but there is likewise magnanirs;tg
Iii the course of Mr.. Clinton. 1t pledges him,
as well as al the republicans OF the state, to
the principles Of the new President; and is a
most seasonable annunciation to foreign pow
ers that the little chickering's of republicans
about the presidency are ut an end, and that,
on national concerns, the republican phalanX
is undivided and indivisible. Public men,
do your duty, and the nation will support
you !...,.-pat. Int.

Captain Haskell, of the brig Ann, arriv-

which place he left tn 2sth June. He in
forms us, that they had certain advices there
that the emperor Alexander had arrived at
Kongsberg on visit to- the king OF Prus-

1t was considered very uncertain what part
Russia would take in the present war--whe-
Their to join Bonaparte or the Austrlans.
Many reports were heard of insurrecuons IN
Germany, but they could not understand Of
what magnitude or Importance.
Bonaparte had drawn away his French
troops from Hamburg and Lubbock, and
sent IS, 900 Danish troops to garrison those
places. The exigencies OF his war with
Austria no doubt required this.
