’• In the midst of the whmgs and
vexations experienced from external
causes, there is much room for con
gratulation on the prosperity and
happiness flowing from our situation
at home. The blessing of health
has never been more universal. The
fruits of the seasotts, though in parti
cular articles and districts short of
their usual redundancy are more
than sufficient for our wants and our
comforts. The face of our country
every where presents the evidence
of laudable enterprise, of extensive
Capital, and of durable improvement.
In a cultivation of the materials, and
the extension of useful manufactures
inure especially, in the general ap
plication to household fabrics, we
behold a rapid diminution of our
dependence on foreign supplies.—
Nor is it unworthy of reflection, that
• this revolution in our pursuits and
jiabits is in no slight degree a con-
; sequence of those impolitic and ar
bitrary Edicts by which the contend
ing nations, in endeavouring each of
" diem to obstruct our trade with the
• ether, have so far abridged our j
. fneafts of procuring the productions
‘ and manufactures, of Vvhiih our own
are now taking the place.
Recollecting always, that for every
advantage which may contribute to
distinguish our lot, from that to
which others are doomed by tlie un-
b? ppy spirit of the times, we are in-!
debted to that Divine Providence
whose goodness has been so remark

course, if it be likely to prove fatal.
But if so desirable an end as his death
were to happen, though no illumina
tion might take place, it is certain that
everybody would rejoice, but the in
struments of liis crimes, and his de
pendants. Alexander the Great re
solutely took the medicine from his
physician, though he had been infor
med that the latter intended to poi
son him, acting in a.lofty conscious-
icss of virtue : but Bonaparte has no
such foundation for confidence, anil
has reason not only to fear destruc

We received this morning Ham
burgh Correspondent'ens to the 30th
ult. Frankfort to the 22d, Berlin to
the 24th, and Prague to the 16th.
The latest intelligence from Vienna
js of the 16th. Bonaparte had set
out from Schoenbrunn on a journey
of four davs to Brunn. Nothing had
transpired with respect to the nego
ciations ; but the Hamburgh Con e
spondent says, that hopes of peace
increase.” It adds, that a principal
demand in the negotiation is that un
til peace is made with England, a
French army shall remain in the
Austrian States.
A Cottenburgh Mail arrived last
night, with an account of peace hav
ing been signed between Russia and
Sweden, on thfe 17th ult. The terms
‘ Rave not transpired, but' we have
little doubt that Sweden has yielded
to the demands of Russia, ceding
Finland and' the island oi Aland, and
‘ consenting to shut her ports against

tering good and sufficient security
with the Clerk, Sheriff, Coroner or
Justice, as the case may be, for the
ultimate payment of the balance of
he judgment, interest and costs, at
the expiration of the time lor which
this law was passed.

the recovery of Taxes, or affect ac
tions founded oh torts aud.wrongs.
3 And be it further enacted, That

force and effect until the 25th De

5 And be it. further enacted^, That
