Further difficulties have taken place in
the furremfir of Cattaro.—The Ruffians
have expressed their readiness to give up the
place, but that the Inhabitants will not
give it up to the French.
A Hattie took place between the Ruffians
and French, on the 6 h, in the Ragufan

freedom of ihc fc.ts, and the liberty of com
merce, provrs him to be as little disposed to
make an equitable peace with us, as his
pffamption of the right of diflblvirg the
German empire at his mere will, shews him
to be inclined to keep the treaties he has al
ready made, or to rcfpcdl the rights he has
guaranteed.
The King ot Pruflta also, in ap Address
to the Dptmcs of the 1 lunoveriau Stales,
speaks of thcEledorate as permanently uni

that it is the determination rs cur govern

restored to its rightful Sovereign ; nor un

that it will deftft from its present fyftcm of

The Ruflian magazines at Dubno have

By the Hamburgh Mail, which has just
arrived, we have received a Letter from
our Correspondent, replete with information
of the hightft importance.
The ambitious views of Napoleon, with
refptd to :hc general subjugation of Germa
ny, and particularly his condud in the dif
lucmbermcnt of the Empire by the Rhenilh
Confederation, have alarmed the Piinces
who have not participated in that system of
vaffilage ; and they have begun to manifeft
their oppcfirion to the measure. Pruflia,
Aufttia, Sweden, HclVe-Cafl'cl, Brunswick,
Pu.ntr.inia, and Wirtcmhorg, arc said to
have entered into a league to refeue the
northermpart of Germany from the influence
of the Ulurpcr. They exped to be joined
by Denmark and Britain: probably by
Ruflia.
In the mean time, the French armies are
pouring into Germany in every diredion ;
and are particularly concentrating their
Force on the frontiers of Saxony and Austria,
Bonaparte has cxprelVed his determination,

renewed holhlitics.

The contents of the Paris Popers are cf great
importance. The Mom tear has at length
broke silence upon the fubjed of the negoci
ation. After dating that the negociation
had l>cen brought almott to maturity, and
that, according to report, peace itfelf was
on the point ot bring signed, it now admits,
that ll the indifpolicion of Mr. Fox, Sc his
absence from council, have rendered every
thing uncertain, and re-plunged these im. I
portant interests in the labyrinth of diplo

Bonaparte has adopted a most cffcdual
mode of compelling the minor Princes of

milted into his League.— None but thofc
who adhere to i;, arc to enjoy the least au
thority in their icfpedive territories.

We have received Paris Papers to the 17th
inst. They contain the formal resignation of
the office of Emperor of Germany by Francis
11. who is henceforth £0 he ftylcd only em
peror of Austria, a title a lew months youn
ger than that of the Emperor of the French.
In this Suicidal aft, the unfortunate Francis
declares, that, having loft the confidence of
the States and Princes of the German Empire,
and thus become unable to perform the duties
imposed upon him, the tics that hitherto at
tached him to the States of the Empire arc
diStil ved, and he renounces the Imperial
Crown and Sceptre of Germany.

Frankfort, August 7.
The following‘details refpefting the chan,

given as authentic:
All the Princes, Intermediate Counts, &
other States of the Empire, who are not na

poSTeflions join, or are included within those 1
of the Princes prefer v*d, ate wholly to lose
their territorial superiority ; that is to fay,
the right of having troops, ofhaving tribu

word, they arc to be deprived of sovereign

word. ,'

cogmfing these changes in the constitution of
Southern Germany, reserves to himfelf a

North) of what was formerly called the
Empire. Thus will this constitution, which
has been so long invaded, wholly disappear,
and the decline of which is only so gentle,

Fellow Soldiers.
ON occafiors like this, when our coun
try's rights are invaded, when our national
charaftcr is at stake, it becomes a people
worthy of freedom Si Independence to atoufe
as you have done tod with manlike firmnefs
prepare to confront the foe.
At the fame time that I exptefs the fatis
faftion which I feel in meeting you, lean
congratulate you on the prevalence of this
generous spirit thooghout our Territory
'Tis a pleaftng presage of viftory and nation
al vcrgcr nce, and could I be warranted in
leading you to the field 1 should calculate on
paying back the full account of Spanilh in
folcnce, and under the auspices of your zeal,
the interest and aggrandizement of ourcoun
try.
But my Fellow Soldiers,' prior to this
exertion of your patriotism, there are cer
tain mechanical duties obligatory and neccf
fary to your success—the militia may burn
with ardour to avenge their country's wrongs
but without dilciplmeyoureffervcfctncemay
be prejudicial, yonr impetcofity may con.
found, and where you had expefted viftory,
find defeat.—-To gi’.ard agaio-ft these evils,
let me press upon ybur minds the absolute &
irrefutable neeeflity ofdilcipline.—Officers,
to you, die men look for inftruftion, with
ycur example and attention the talk is soon
accorapUlhcd—thus prepared, they will in
the hour of confiift merit the charafter of the
foldicr, and with confidence sustain the rep
utation of the officer—Men, to be perfcft in
your dlfcipline, fubordinalion is eflfenrial,
without it you carry anarchy and disorder
in the bosom of your ranks, and the spirit
which you now evince for the service of your
country w-ill be waisted and disgraced by
ddfention, and the military charafter total,
ly paralized—then let me urge you to a drift
obedience to your commanders.—At home
you are all equal, all brothers, bound in the
fame bonds of civil obligation, but when
hecefliiy requires you to w'car the ensigns of
thcfoldier you furrendcra portion of your
civil equality : and the more prompt and en
ergetic you arc in the execution of your or
ders, the sooner you return to the enjoyment
of your social rights and domestic felicities.
Fellow Soldiers—l Ihould be wanting
in my usual candour, and thereby indircftly
deny my present fenfatiors, were I to attempt
to Hide the flame which doca so touch honor
to yoar hearts--no, I exult la it—the Mif
fiflippi Territory pants for an opportunity to
prove hcifelf worthy of an independent po
litical connexion with the confederated fill
ers of the union ; the present crisis has affor
ded it to you, and 1 have marked the emu',
lation with which you are inspired—l fee the
fpirit of *76 irradiate your countenances and
the ardent impulses of an injured people fwcll
your patriotic bosoms. Under such auspices
I am proud of my political ftatipn among you
I feel the dignity of my rcfponfibility, and
Arnold we b« conftraincd to unfurl rhe bloo
dy flag, I (hall engage in its consequences
with implicit reliance on your petfonal bra
very and support.
Letters from Natchitoches,^under date of
the sth of September, date that the Spanilh
army continued encamped at the Bayon
Pierre, and was supposed to he twelve hun
dred strong, Governor Cerdero from Sf.
Antoine, had arrived at Nacogdoches* with
a reinforcement of 300 regular troops.
Governor Claiborne was still at Natchi
toches, and between him,, and the tfficer
commanding the Spanilh troops, several let.

ordered a detachment of militia to he in rea
diness to march. The troops from Fort. A

Irrefled three Americans from Kentucky,
of the names of Brcwfter, Shaw and Irvin,
and sent them prisoners to St. Antoine—
Governor Claiborne has demanded their im
mediate release. The Spaniflhi army has
evinced no disposition to attack Natchito
ches—the} avow their objedt to be, to pre
serve inviolate the territory of the king

Upon the arrival of lord Lauderdale at
Paris, he was requefled to present along with
his credentials, his piojtdl for a peace—he
proposed in return to meet a diplomatic cha
racter ; and in this manner four days clapft d
before he had an audience of the minister for
foreign affairs.
This delay may be supposed to have been
crested to afford time for the final termina
tion of the negociation with Ruflia of which
lord Lauderdale was advifedat the firft in
terview.
He therefore mud have withheld his pro
j'B% that he might consult his court on the
new afprtt, which the partition ofTurkey
between France L Ruflia presents, as it im
mediately involved thcfecurity of Britifli A
sia-. An evening paper contains the following
additional fadls!
“ Ruflia and France have agreed to divide
the Turkifli dominions. This has defermin
ed Great-Rritain to continue the war at all
hazards. —The Portugucfe goverraent is to
be removed to Brazil j lord St. Vincent was
ftrdcred to carry it intoeffeft by repairing in
his flag flap to Liflbon, to take on board the
prince regent.”
u The tranflatioh of the feat of the Portu
guek government from Lisbon to Brazil, was
firft contemplated under the administration of
the marquis de Pombal—and is now resorted
to, asth&only means of preferring its mod
valuable pefieflions. It mult be evident that
Portugal is defined to (hare the fate of the
minor powers oS Europe, by being givsn to
Spain as an indemnity for the four provinces
to be ceded to France,
“ The Britifli funds are fat'd to have fal
len seven per cent, on the profpeft of the war

UPPER DELAWARE WARD.
At a meeting of the democratic citizens of
Upper Delaware Ward, held the 2d October
1806, agreeably to adjournments at the
house of Wm, Smith.
The following was adopted unanimoully,
Whereas the democratic citizens of Upper
Delaware Ward, (imprefled with the highest
sense of the virtue and talents of the venera

with unfeigned regret that he declines flan
ding a candidate for that office. Therefore,
Resolved, That a committee of three
citizens from this ward be appointed to join
such committees as are or may be appointed
from the refpeftive wards for the purpose of
addrefling the president of the United States

ON a former occasion we threw out an
idea of the propriety and great utility c f
having the afts of our legislature puhl-ftu,}
every year in the News-papers, and we i'eel
it our duty to revive this* idea at prefem
hoping the next legiflaturc will take it up’
It must be very obvious that the public will
derive great fatisfaflion and benefit from
the adoption of thin measure ; for we con
ceive it of little confcquerce to cnaft J„ U j
if they are not promulged to the public-!
Laws arc the rule of conduft to the rcopiT
and confcquently, to square their actions M
them, they Ihould be made as public as r rf
fthle. r pCI '
It is true the jonrnals of the senate and
house of reprefentatfves of this state are pfin,
ted every year, in the form of pamphlets!
and diftrihuted among the members of both
houses, public officers, judges of the inferior
courts and magiflrates ; but ibis cannot l? e
called a promulgation of the laws to the
people ; for not one iti five hundred ever
gets a chance of reading them. We aic of
opinion the laws may be publiflted in the
News.papers, at the rate that tongrefs pa i s
for puhl-lhirg their arts, with little, if
addlikiud fxjvence to the (fate; and cvfa
if an additional cxpcrce ftiould be incuried
it can be of no moment, when the advantages
resulting to the community from the publi.
cation are considered.
What and other states in the
Union deem uftful ard imettfting to their
citizens, ought to have been long since ad,
opted by the representatives of Georgia ;
public infomation, no doubt, is as neefla.
ry in this Hate, as in any other.
