FRIEND SAMUEL, =.
l cannot refrain from conrratulating thee
on the truth of thy prediction, which is now
fully confirmed by the newspaper published
here this morning.. continuing the long ex-
pected Proclamation. before assured thee
that such d document was in readiness and
/ can further assure thee that OH no account
would give currency TO falsehocd. What
I state as. fact, thou mayest rely upon; but |
Go not voucll for any rumor that mention.
Ephraim Smooth, whom | formerly men
toned, and who meddleth too much, | fear,
in state qSairs, told me last third day that the
piece which appeared in the National lntelii-
gencer that morning, signed by Clerk, is
every where treated with contempt. Altho'
have no reason to question the veracity OF
Ephraim, en- inclined to think, Samuel,
that in this instance, he hath been mislcd by
the Glamour ola few interested persons. For
my own part, conceive that the publication
alluded to must lure the reputation of Ro-
bert Smith, if pcradventure he hath any to
lose. Some people here say that the above
mentioned clerk offered his services to the
late secretary, within a few days past, at Bal
nmore, but his proposal was rejected. have
sundry reasons for discrediting this report.
Whether true OF false, however, disgrace
mast fall on some Of the parties concerned.
James Madison is expected to leave Wash
ington today. cannot inform thee at ire
sent how the Ncgociation with the British
minister hath terminated, or whether it hath
terminated at all ; but would advise thee to
h,he for the best, as our President hath Of
ate been sadly frightened. AndI would also
caution thee, friend Samuel, not to speculate
much on the time fixed by the Proclamation
for the meeting of Congress. 1t may be a
trap set for people called fools: at any rate i,
is unwise to place great reliance on those
gyl1o hape once deceived 7ss.

called the Dutch debt; that the govern

failed on account of the interruption OF
commerce between England and Holland.

American property in Holland. which left
no funds at the disposal Of tie merchants.
The present remittance is, therefore, OF

A PROCLAMATICN.

WHEREAS great and weighty matters
claiming the consideration of the Con-
gress Of the q. S. form an extraordinary
occasion for con1eniag them, do by these
presents appoiat Monday the fourth day
Of November next for their meeting at
the City Of Washington; hereby requiring
the respective Senators and Representa-
lives then and there to assemble in Con-
gress, in order to receive such communi-
cations as may then be made to them, and
to consult and determine on such mea-
'sures as in their wisdom may be deemed
meet for the welfare Of the q. States.
In testimony whereof, l have caused
the seal of the United States to be

same with my hand.
Done at the city OF Washington, the
9th day of July, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred

Of the United States the thirty sixth.
JAMES MADISON.
BY the President,
JAMES Monroe. Sec'yof State.
From the National Iateligeacer Of yes-
terday.
1t will be observed by our paper OF this
day, that Congress are convened to meet
at an earlier day than that appointed by
the constitution. 1t caim0t be expected
that the considerations which produced
this measure will be fully known until
they shall be disclosed to the Legislature.
1t is to be presumed that it grows out Of
our foreign relations. It seems to be nm
derstcod that the communications of MIR.
Foster do not correspond with the reason
able expectations which might have been
formed. We do not understand that they
have extended directly to any subject be-
yend the orders in council and the block
ade of May, 1906. With respect to this
blockade, tits understood to be placed un-

SIRE to notice the handsome appearance
of Capt. Maaieyille's trooYon this ocea-
casi0n.
Speaking OF the reported revocation OF
the Berlin and Milan DEGREES, the New
Yor. Public Advertiser says:
eve readily acknowledge and are
willing to confess the faet, that it IS q
mere political manosNrre. but il is that
Kind Of policy which has the good Luck OF
being founded on the strict principles Of
justice and equity"
We have been too much aceustomedt to
democratic bungiing, to be greatly asto-
nished at any thing the sapient seribbers
can publish now. Here we are sra'eiy
informed that even Bonaparte's ronoea-
rres arc founded on justice. What a
sh.ewd discovery! Falstaff was a very
/" bunch of i.adish" TO this skilful apollo
gist. The emperor may be certain oil
having excuses in abundance furnished for
his conduct, however maynard. by his
friends in this country: to use the old
Knights expression, they have reasons
as plenty as biackberries. & is somewhat
singular, one would suppose. that he can
not act honestly except by man9u-
vre:' though this may be owing to his
military character. We should be highly
gratiGed, il, by a fortunate coup de main
he could cont rive to restore the many mil
lions of American property condemned IN
his ports!
The following paragraph evinces that
all the Democrats in the United States are
not worshippers of Napoleon. White we
are pleased to find such sentiments express
sed by one Of the Wrongheaded family
We are compelled to declare our belief,
that their expression at this time. is at
least as much owing to the late rupture in
