NATHI. MACON, Speaker of the lioufe of Rep refentatrves, S. SMITH, Pre(ident of the Senate , pro tcm. Approved, April 18, 1806. TH: JEFFERSON* PARIS, August 6. An imperial decree, dated the 3d of this month, ordains a levy of 50,000 conscripts, takenfrom the 80,000 atnhorifcd to be pla ced in a (late of aftivity by a deem of the 2d Vendemiar, year 14. They will be di vided among the different corps of the army. The 30,000 conscripts remaining from the 80,000, wiil form the reserve of the year 1806. ** At present, of the 80,000 men of the * cbnfcription of 1806, the emperor has judg ed that the calling out of 50,000 is ncceffa ry. If, as every things leads to hope, the affairs of the Continent arc about to be fet tled, fhrfc 50,000 men will'ferve to replace the soldiers who (hall receive their difeharge, and return to their families. If, on the con trary, which there is no reason to think, the period of the repose of the Continent is not yet arrived, these‘ 50,000 men, by rrtmple ting the differenr corps on the war footing, will carry, the French army to itshigeft de gree of strength, ** In any event, then, this levy is necef. fary. Even if we had enjoyed profound peace, we (honld always have called out, if. not 50,000, at lead 40,000 men. Since the last review, 20,000 men have been,difchar ged ; and by the refidt of the reviews of this year, it is probable that an equal number will again return to their homes. LONDON, August 15. The Lord Mayor gave ytftcrday a fplcn did entertainment to the Lord Chancellor and others of the cabinet miniilers, in hon or of his excellency the Hon. David Eilkinc, the minister proceeding from England to America, There were present on the oeca fion.— The Lord Chancellor, Earl Spencer, Lord Ellenborough, Mr, Windham, Sir S. Cot terell, W, Curtis, and Charles Price j Mr, Barclay, Mr. Combe, Mr. Munro, Mr. Pinckney, General Harman, the Hon. H. Erskine, T. Erskine, Mr, Harris, and Mr. Wilson the Lord Chancellor’s Solicitor. ,f After dinner the following toads were drank : “ The King, and God bless him.’* ** The and Royal Family.** “ The Prince and his royal brothers, and thanks to them lor the honor they have done the city jn the present Mayoralty by their prefence.** ** The American Miniders present, Mr. Monroe, Mr. Pinckney, and General Ly man ; and may there be perpetual harmony between the two countries.” 1 Mi. Monroe begged leave to return thanks for the honour which had been done him, which he did not efliraate so much peifonally, as with regard to- his country. There exided a thousand teafons, he find, which mad* it desirable for him to promote a becoming feeling of good-will between Great-Britain and America ; but while he mud be contidercda true and faithful servant of his republic, yet no perfoaal exertion on his part (honld be wanting to preserve that cordiality so cflfential to the.interefts of t(se two countries ; and begged leave to drink all their good healths. Mr. Pinkney observed, that he accorded perfeftly in the sentiments that had been expressed by his colleague, and that no en. deavours on his part (hould be wanting to promote the good underdanding which ought ever to subsist between Great-Britain and America. Several other toads were drank. The Members withdrew about ten o*. clock ; but the hilarity & goodhumeur cf the company were protrafted to a later hour, Earl St. Vincent has left the channel fleet, and failed to the fourhward in the Hibernia, with the Defiance and some smal ler (hips. He will fird proceed to. Lisbon, but we can hardly believe for the purpefe mentioned a day or two ago, of taking on board, the Prince cf Brazil. He would not defect his kingdom till the last extremity. But the Li (bon mail which arrived this morning juftifies us in entertaining a suspi cion that some expedition is intended against Portugal. This is underdood to buone of the menaces which Bonaparte holds out a gaind this country, in order to induce us to fubferibe to certain terms. A Portuguefc meflenger, with difpatehss, arrived this morning. NATCHEZ, August 19. On the 1 cth indanr, his excellency Go vernor Claiborne arrived in this.city from Oppeloufas, anJ on the morning n f ihe j § he set out for his return to ihc territory c f Orleans. It is said that the day previous to the Gpvernoi's departure, he reccired by express fotr.c dilpatchcs from Natchito. ches, but we are not advised of their coni tents, DUELS. On Tuefdaylaft, a duel was fought he. tween Mr. William Withers and Mr] Peter Walker, of this city. Mr. Wall ker received a wound in his left knee, the only injury fuftairted. A few days fmcc, a duel was fought at Fort-Adams, between Nathaniel Evans ESQi and Capt. James Richmond, ot the U, States’ army.—We undtrftand that Capt. Richmond received a wound that proved instantly mortal. Septembr 2. An intelligent non.commifficned c£ccr from the exploring part)-, of Mr. Freeman, arrived in this city yesterday morning with letters. We have not had an opportunity of conversing with him—but learn from a gentleman who made particular enquiries— that he dates—“ That, a party of Spanish cavalry, supposed one thousand in number, had approached within seven miles of the post of Nachitochcs, and sent a meflage to the commanding t fficcr requiring him to remov®/ to this fide of the Red-River—but that in confequencc of a Icarcity of provisions and a sudden mortality occurring in their camp, by which a number of men died, the Spanish commanding tfficer had thought proper to make a retrogade movement across the Sa bine.” We did not learn whether Colonel Cufhing .had applied to the ahfurd requifuica of the Don, CHARLESTON, Oflober 4. The ship Globe, Capt. Flancers, arrived at this port yesterday, in 47 davj from Bristol. It was the general opinion of the mercan. tile community, when the Globe left Bris tol, that a peace would not rcfult from the embalfy of Lord Lauderdale, and this opin ion is strengthened by the articles we ex. trail from the London Courier, an eve. ning paper of the 15th. Mr. Fox’s disorder had taken a favours hie turn ; he was faft recovering, and was confidcred as out of danger. Some hints are thrown out, of a proba bility that Russia may be brought to aft against England, through the intrigues ard infltiece of Bonaparte. But the intelligence more immediately interesting to the American reader, is the probability which this arrival furnishes of a speedy fcttlement of the differences exit ing between this country andGreat-Britain. Accounts from Norfolk state, that a re ceipt on the score of exchange, was requeu ed, or demanded of the French Ccnful, by the English, for the delivery of those ot the crew of the French ship L’lmpeteux, who were sent into Norfolk. The French Con sul refufed compliance, and declared that they could not he confidcred prijoners ; the attack on the French (hip, and the burning of her, having taken place within the jurif didlion of the United States. From the Universal Magazine, for May, 1806. BIOGRAPHICAL sketch of LORD HE NR T PELL T. Lord Henry Petty, the youngest f>nof the la!t marquis of Landfdown, by his fccond la day Louisa Fitzpatrick, filter to the exiling earl of Upper Olfory, and to the late dow ager lady Holland (mother of the prefect lord Holland,) was born in July, 17S0. -At nine years old, lord Henry was deprived of the afteftion.ofhis accoraplifhed mother, la dy Louisa, who died August 2, 1759. The faperintendancc of the inltruttion cf lord Henry having now devolved, exclnfive ly, on the marquis cf Landfdown, that no bleman entered, with redoubled ardour on the “ delightful talk.” Wirh him, is wi>h the great lord Holland, in the education of the present Mr. Fox, and as with the great earl of Chatham, in the education of the late Mr. Pitt, the formation cf the mind of his youngest son appears to have constituted his primary gratification. All these noble states men, each of them honourably remembered for his talents and measures, arc remarkable for the attention bestowed by them oh their younger sons, and the anticipations they entertained, as to the future eminence of their favourite offspring. Between the fortunes cf lord Henry Petty and the late William I’itr, there exits, indeed, as far as it can be car ried, a striking parallel,—Both were the youngest fans of flatefmen, celebrated for patriotifra and abilities, who evinced equal afliduity in the tuition of their refpeftb’c children, with similar piefentiments of suc cess. Like the late Mr. Pitt, lord Hen*'/ early diftinguiftied himfelf as a parliamenta ry advocate for the liberties of his country : if, at the age of 24 years, Mr. Pitt became chancellor of the exchequer, lord Henry fib’s the fame office before the completion of >btf 26th year ; both of these ministers finithed their studies at the university of Cambridge; and lord Henry Petty succeeds Mr- Pi f, b not only as chancellor of the exchequer, but also as repre/entative for the university cf Cambridge. It was acknowledged fonie thing in favour of Me. Pitt, at the dawn ing of his political day, that he was the cl*- rifhed son of the great carl of Chatham ; is not a little to the credit of lord Henry ty, at a similar time, that he is kno ; >". * s
