RESOLUTIONS Os a number of the inhabitants of Wood county. Firmly attached t* the Constitution of the United States and the conlHtuted authorities, and viewing with a jealous eye, the appa rently boftile motions and nefarious designs of certain charaflets, it was resolved at a meeting of sundry citizens of Wood county, Virginia, held on the 6th day of Otfobcr 1806, for the purpofc of taking into confed eration the measures neceflary to be adopted, in this alarming crisis, to counteract it pos sible, what is luppofed to be the atrbitioi s and diforganihng views of AARON BURR and his partizans in this Wcftcrncountry.

We have received information here that a French squadron w hich suddenly appeared in the Greenland Teas, has dettroyed on those fhoi es a great number of whales. This in. tcliigcncc is certain, as it comes from Ber gen, where two vellcls arrived which had been taken by the French and frcleafed, with part of the crews of the captured ships, A mong the number of prizes taken by the French squadron, off Greenland, are tg of the bed laden whalers. 1 hey were furpri zed to the cast of Greenland, by the very unfortunate arrival of the French, who ha ving taken all they wiflud to foize, funk thole they did not with takeaway to the wtftward, and entered Davis* straights at the moment when several whaler* complete ly laden, were commencing their homeward voyage.

PRINTED IN FRANKFORT, (KEN.) The people of Kentucky have seen pub lilhed from the Ohio Gazette, which has its origin and stand at Marietta, and which is fuppufed to be under the influence of Colonel Burr, a paper in which the idea of disunion by the Alleghany Mountains, is openly a vowed, and publicly advocated. The man who is held up in the front, and, at the head of this new plan of difmcmbcrlng the union of the states, is now among us. While his secret and myftcrous movements Indicate the management, and combination of some plan of operations, which will not bear the public view and examination, it is announced as a fori and doubtless is true, that a number of gun. boats, and a fehooner of a lingular con- Itruriion, are preparing for this man, cn the Ohio river. These can Lut be confideied as pieparations for some military expedition. Bat w hether it is intended for the Spanilh mines of Santafee, for the city of New. O rleans, or the Spa nidi Territory on the Gulph of Mexico, or elfcwhere, is all untertainty and conjecture. Yet that a blow is to be ftmri some where, I have nodaubt. Ex trail from a late Paris Review ts Pelt tics, by M. Barrett. ** The United States, by a policy foreign to the old world, purchase countries which they might conquer, preserve a sentiment of gratitude for the French nation, and feebly revenge the frdhoutrages of England. Yet their territory increases, their population ad vances, their revenues are more prosperous, and their growing navy dictates laws upon the coast of Batbary. England alone, dreads the prosperity of America, and feeros to feel that greater glory awaits the Americans up on the i a ks of the Missouri. England, isolated from Europe, by her tntcreils no less than her geographical poll. exhaust s die foifnee- us hgr cabinet in making conquests which ihe will not keep, and to contracting debts whichlhe will never pay. Her vessels navigate peaceably the molt distant seas, yet are full of fears in txaverling the channel; her commerce enslaves three quarters of the globe, and cannot maintain itfelf in the fourth. Her policy arras kings to subdue France, and their defeat strength ens Fiance. Yerit is not to want of /kill on the part of the cabinet of St. James, that this bad success is to be attributed. Nc— but it is to the force of events, which uni. ted together, command each other, and lead to rcfuits different from those which seem to be experiod. The present conduri of the cabinet of London proves that it is convin ced of the fecblencfs of Etigland to contend with France. It proves alio, that the true interests of the nation are better appreciated by the new ministers, and that if peace be negotiated llowly, it will still be figncd. The other states of Europe, all united to France by gratitude, interest and blood, ccrr p*fe what in modern policy is called the fede rative empire, but which might be more ap. propriately called the empire of the weft. Her population exceeds that of the rest of Europe: her arras arc already covered with immortal glory, and the name of the founder is placed by thefide of those of the heroes of antiquity. The peace of the world seems to he the foie objeri of this political inftitu tbn—Time had diminilhed the number of patty dates, and futurity prepared theiren. tire deftruriion ; the moment was approach ing in which empires were to have fron tires in common ; in which w hole people, and not armies, were to decide the fats of battle. A Angle exception of genius pre serves future generations from ihe evils which fate was preparing for them. Weak princes become strong by the support they receive ; people unite, instead of deftroj ing each oth’ other; humanity is consoled, and peace re e (labilities her empire in climates which Ihe thought never to have dwelt in more.
