I ale Foreign News. SAVANNAH, October ts. Cv .Saturday after /toon arrived the flip William, (apt. Rockwell, from Liverpool, vjkich he left on the zZth August, London, Angus 7. 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 territory:,—The Monittur fays, that the Ruffians were defeated, and have re-etnbar. ked for Corfu—Tt is said that Cattaro has been taken by a <Vt?chment r.f the natives favorable to the French, who have defended it against the Greeks Sz Montcnagrins. The expedlatirns of a pacific result from Lord Lauderdale's trillion, which were at ft lit foconfident, arc nOw extremely depres sed. His Lordship’s immediate renirn is spoken of as a thing that may be daily locked for. The manner in which the Note of the French Minister to the Diet of Ratifbon {peaks of the Kledoratc of Hanover, as de finitively united with Prufiia, and the as. furancc itnitrs sliar Bonaparte"will hence f'otth turn hfs .attention to the employment < f the means he poirefßs for eftiblifhing the 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 ted to Prufiia. We believe nO'vithftinding, that it is the determination rs cur govern ment not to make peace unlcfs Hanover is restored to its rightful Sovereign ; nor un less the French government gives aflurance that it will deftft from its present fyftcm of general aggression and invafior. The Ruflian magazines at Dubno have lately been increnfed to an enormous extent; and all the corn and oat* for fevcral hundred veifls round that place have been purchased while in the fields. The Ruflian troops have all been raised to the full war comple ment by excellent recruits, ard the major p.irf of them has‘advanced to the Turkish frontiers. 1 Travellers who arrived at Cracow on the i 2 th nit. a flat, that there is now on the Bog, and about Brdzk, a Ruflian Army of 1 no.ooo men. Ohferver Oflce, One O’clad. 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, ftiould any refinance be (hewn, to compel the Northern Princes to approve of the new political changes, by force of arms ,• and their non-aeqaiefeenoe will be the figiul for renewed holhlitics. The Imperial City of Nuremberg is to be ceded to Bavaria ; so that only Ham burgh, Lubedc anil Bremen, ftiJl prefcive their precarious ex iftence. Wc received, this morning, Paris papers to the 14'h, Dutch to the 18th, and the Hamburg Corrr/pondtnten of the iztb inst. from which wc have made copious extrads. 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 matic chicane, in casuistry, and abftrad pro portions.” Bonaparte has adopted a most cffcdual mode of compelling the minor Princes of (jermany to claim the benefit of being ad. milted into his League.— None but thofc who adhere to i;, arc to enjoy the least au thority in their icfpedive territories. While affairs yet hang in painful fufpenfc I between this country and France, wcare hap py to be able to announce, that Lords Hoi. land and Auckland are named Plcnipotcntia riet to Treat upon the fubjed of the Difficulties which have arisen between the United States of America and G. Britain, with Messrs. Pinckney and Monroe, ap pointed for the fame purposes by Congress. A letter from an Officer of rank in our fleet off the Dutch coast, dated 19th inst. states, that there are five fall of the line, one fri- gate, and two armed brigs, ready fojr fca in the Maars Diep, and two fail of the line fitting out in the New Diep. Aught 23. 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. Paris, Jfugufl i(5. Thtirfday being the day of Saint Napole on, there was a fpeftacle at St. Cloud, a drawingroom, cards in the apartments, and a Supper for the ladies. The assembling of the representatives of the Jews of France, now met in this capital engages general attention. It is remarka ble, that it is near 2,000 years since that nation has been convoked in an aSTetnbly by public authoiity.

Frankfort, August 7. The following‘details refpefting the chan, ges which arc taking place in Germany, arc given as authentic: All the Princes, Intermediate Counts, & other States of the Empire, who are not na med in the Aft of Federation, and whose 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 nals dependent on them, the privilege of a mint, of having political agents ; in one word, they arc to be deprived of sovereign ty, according to the true meaning of the word. ,' j It is said, that the King of Prussia, in re. cogmfing these changes in the constitution of Southern Germany, reserves to himfelf a power or eftablllhing a iimflar league (in the 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, bccanfc the measures which arc taking at this day were preceded by the period of its fall.

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. ters had pafled, Governor Claiborne has ordered a detachment of militia to he in rea diness to march. The troops from Fort. A dams bad nut arrived, hut were daily expect ed. Th« Spanifti Governor Horrera, has 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 their matter. It is believed at Natchito ches, that nothing prevents the American troops from marching against the Spaniards but orders to that eflfedh f MiJ/iJJippt Meffcnger. 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 being continued.” — Aurora,. 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 ble president of the U. States,) have heard 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 assuring him of the unabated confidence the Democrats of Philadelphia have in him, & foliating him to again serve his fellow citi zens by Handing a candidate for the said of. flee, to which his past services so jufily en title him. (' Whereupon, Col. Michael Bright, An. thony Simmons, and captain Lewis Rush were duly appointed.

Wm. THOMAS, Oacber 24, [-31] AUGUSTA, Off. "5.' 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.
