from Messrs. BIagge, Jackson and Leflerts,

we must do something to excite thenl.-
This looks something like the doctrine of
European countries. | believe thatihe peo-.
PIE have trodden The same course that we
have in every thing which has taken place,
ard are as capable Of determining on the
propriety of the course whichwe pursue as
we are ourselves. 4 believe that impulse.
is necessary to be given to the people. II
we act correctly, there is no doubt That the
people will support our conduct. With re-.
spect to the affair OF the Chesapeake, which
has been alluded to, it was not in my mind
proper occasion forwar. 1t it WIS so, /
cannot really comprehend why we are told
that it is necessary TO do something TO excite
the people to go to war. If we wefc to
send minister what could he do butrepeat
the same course? There seems to be an
idea entertained BY. come gentlemen, sir,
which I wish to disavow. The change OF
president about to take place, appears to be
the commencement of new dynasty. The
change of that officer cannot affect our &C.
neral relations, for it is the people and rot
the president who are to point out the pro-
per course to be pursued.

Art. 1. All colonial produce, English
and other commodities, the importation Of
which is prohibited, and which shall be
conveyed through the department of East
Friesland, shall, exclusive Of the passports
and otEer documents hitherto required with
respecs to internal commerce, be provided
with certificates of origin, making it appear
that such articles have not been imported
into the kingdom contrary to law.
2. In default of the certificates above
stated, such goods and merchandise shall

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, Nop. II.

=
Advices from Holland to the 10th instant
have arrived since our last, as have also
some French papers and German Journals
to the 4th. Though the intelligence o.
Austria having declared war against France
is not confirmed by any of the accounts re-
ceived by this conveyance, the report is a
gain mentioned in letters from Heiigoland,
and it is certain, as appears by the accounts
from Vienna, that the emperor has Of late
materially increased his military operations.
TheHungarian insurrection, thar description
of force SO formidable for its numbers
established upon the most e..tensive plan.
Ii embraces all classes of society, AMI IS TO
hold itself in readiness to take tic field at
the shortest notice at any, time during the
three next years. The address OF the diet,
and the answer of the emperor upon this
subject, viii be found somewhat interesting.
In France, the recruiting army bears awile-
" different complexion. The conscripts
are every where refractory, and in many In
stances they have been literally dragged in
chairs to the neighborhood Of the Rhine.
The private accounts from Holland state,
that additional measures Of rigor have been
resorted to in order to cut off all CONNER
cial intercourse with Great Britain. As an
inducement to informers, forty per cent. is
to be allowed them upon such goods as
they shall prove to be. the manufacture of
England, so that every man is sort of spy:
upon his neighbor. A general search has
lately been made, and a considerable sell
.zure has taken place at Schevening. The
French papers contain the address of the
deputies OF the new Italian departments to
Bonaparte, and his answer. The former is
most detestable specimen of adulation and
blasphemy, whilst the latter is disgusting
tissue of vanity and afectation.
