Post-Master. blank Warrants of Aopraisciuent. tor Sale at this office, A MAP OF EUROPE, ON - THE NEW PROJECTION ; Or, Wo.king mth present Century hie the lait. From the Aurora. The scheme of power, which we imagine we can perceive in the events that have re cently unfolded themselves, after the battle of Fried!and, appears to be of this character. All the other powers arid states, will be vas sals cr dependants on one or the other of these two. An alliance will subsist between these two i empires, for the maintenance of peace, and the j integrity of their subordinate states. The laws of nations will be revised and re- ! duced to rational principles, by the talents and wisdom—and established by the united power of these two empires. The ocean will be declared’ the common right of all nations. And it is not out cf the bounds of probability that, by a common determination, there will not be admitted to be carried on board any vessel of any kind, more than the ammunition necessa ry for signals, or tor foreign commerce. ‘ The multitude of noble conceptions which such a scheme of empire awakens, every intel ligent mind wifi feel —they w ill not admit of compression in a hasty newspaper specula tion. The scheme of modern empire, we suppose, will be as follows : Alexander—Emperor of the East. Bonaparte—Emperor of the West. Each empire to contain eight or more king doms, twelve or more principalities, and a rela tive proportion of inferor titularies—<ch con federated under its ciicf—and the chiefs of both empires united by the common interests which they will have in naiiitaining each other. We shall suppose th; eastern empire to consist of the follow ing kngdoms : THE EASTER! EMPIRE. Empire— Russia —the ciicf of this Eastern confederacy. Kingdoms—l. Roland —Murat, king 2. Constantinople —prince Constantine, king of Gfcece. 3. Denmark —The Irince Royal. 4. Dalmatia —A kinj to lie named. 5. Prussia —The present king. 6 Saxony —The prevent king. 7. Sweden —Bernadote, prince of Pon te Corvo. 8. England —A king t> be named. 9. Ireland —general Clarke, minister at at war. 10. Anew kingdom to be formed THE WESTERN EMIIUE. Empire France —Bonaparte, chief. Kingdoms—l. Austria —The present empe ror as king. 2. Hungary —The Archduke Charles. 3. Hanover —Prince Jerome, king of Westphalia. 4. IVirtcmberg —The present king. b. H Aland —Eugene Beau llama's, now v iceroy of Italy. 6. Baden —Lhc present king. 7. Bavaria —The present king. 8. Italy—— Joseph Bonaparte, now king of Naples. 9. 7be Two Sicilies —Lucian Bonaparte. 10. Spain —A king, who will unite Por tugal therewith, and give the provinces in exchange to the French emperor. Such is the scheme, or some such, which we apprehend likely to he established in Europe. The l ui kisli power will be forced across the Hellespont, and permitted to constitute a mon archy there, under the guarantee of both the emperors of Europe ; and to propose a simi lar confederation for Asia, in connection with the two European potentates. The following account of the last aerial ex cursion ol Mr. Blanchard, is copied from a lata Dutch paper : The 61st air voyage of the famous Mr. Blan chard, being the 11th of his lady, was perform ed the 3d of August, near Rotterdam. Though every prospect appeared very favorable for the intended voyage, yet it was disturbed by an un fortunate accident. A quarter after 6 o’clock, the beginning was made with filling the Mont goltierc, and before half past seven o’clock the balloon was perfectly ready, and left the ground; but unfortunately took hold by an iron wire, on which it before had been fastened ; loosened it self violently, and received a large rift, which occasioned the flying off of the balloon against a large tree, and thereby got an opening. Nev ertheless, the voyage would have been crown ed with success, had not the baboon, in raising into the air, been encountered by a whirlwind, which brought the gallery into disorder, and enlarged the opening. This e\ er-before fortunate air-traveller, now fell out of the balloon ; first upon the top of a house, and from thence on the ground, bv which he received a large contusion on his head, but is however in a state of recovery. It appeared Madame Blanchard would have escaped better by falling first on some trees ; but the agitation of seeing the descension of her husband, made such an impression upon her organs of speech, that she is now in a kind of dumb and lifeiess state. The chief thing for which wealth and high stations are desirable, is the opportunity of doing good. To give away to others while we do not pay onr debts, is neither justice nor true genero sity. FRENCH MILITARY EDUCATION. The philosopher who undertakes to inves tigate tlie causes of the present military supe riority of the French, will, perhaps, be inclined to attach some importance to the facts contain ed in the following anecdote : It is well known, that in the course of last winter, part of the pupils of the Prytanevm, at Paris, lcit that city to receive appointments as officers in the grand army in Poland. The route of these youths, of whom many had not obtain ed their lull stature, and others had a weakly appearance, though they were neither so small noe so weak as were formerly many subalterns in the Prussian army—led them through Ber lin. An officer accompanied them in quality of an inspector. Thyy passed one night in the capital. A well informed inhabitant of the city, who had formerly been in the service, and possess ing considerable military attainments, had oc casion to be in the neighborhood of their quar ters. Their juvenile appearance induced him to ask the officer who accompanied them, whether these youths would be capable of enduring the fatigues and dangers of field encampments in a northern climate, at so in clement a season, and in such a country as Po land! The officer, who seemed to be a polite and sensible mao, made this reply : “ These young men, sir, can scarcely be subjected to any contingency for which they are not perfectly prepared by education and practice. You are mistaken if you imagine that the empevor Napoleon considers theoreti cal instruction sufficient for a soldier! our institution goes farther, a great deal farther. All these youths whom you here see, have had much more experience than many officers in actual service in other armies. Their con stitution is early inured to all the prejudicial influences, which menace the practical sol dier. Among these young men, there is not one but what has worked with his own hand at the construction of real forts—not one but w hat has stood centinel whole nights together. Ail of them have slept many cold and tem pestuous nights in the open air, and next day performed a march of 16 or 18 leagues ; have climbed lofty mountains, beneath the scorching rays of a meridian sun ; have swam, some times in their clothes, sometimes without, through impetuous rivers and chilling streams ; have even been obliged to abstain for whole days from food, and during the hottest weather f:om drink, that they might learn to endure all possible inconvenicncies incident to a soldier’s life, and that they might be Ultimately acquain ted with them before they were involved in them by necessity. Nothing would terrify them in an uncommon degree ; for, in the sham-fights in our institution, the rapier is thrown away after the first few hours, and a sharp sword is put into the hands ot the pupils. If any of them receive a wound, he has nothing but his own aukwardness to blame for it. It is his business to protect himself by his superior ity. Would you now repeat your question r” It is easy to conceive what a happy effect such a practicable education must have upon the soldier in the higher ranks ! what may be expected of an officer thus prepared for every event? That the conduct of their leader ope rates with a powerful impulse on all those who are under his command, is iv>t to be denied. Exercise begets courage and energy, and at a period when war is a trade, those who pos sess these two qualities in the highest degree, must predominate. ROBERT KER PORTFR. Respecting this celebrated painter, who is a native of New-York, and who painted the Pano rama of the Battle of / odi, lately exhibited in America, we find the following paragraph in a recent English paper : “ Mr. Ker Porter, whose talents as an artist have been so conspicuous, and have been so justly admired in this country, went to Russia some time ago, where he was received with great attention. He was particularly honored by the kindness of the emperor Alexander.— But he has l>een still more fortunate, for, on paying a visit to Moscow, where he remained some time, lie captivated the heart of the Prin cess Shcbatoff, a lady of considerable rank and fortune. The family do not object tolhe union, which has, most probably, by this time, taken place, with the sanction of the emperor. Our fortu nate young countryman is a man of considera ble abilities, which are not con lined within his trade. He is, besides, remarkable for manly spirit, good-lmmour, and exemplary in the du ties and affections of a son and brother. The princess is entirely independent of her family, possesses three palaces, besides extensive terri torial property, and is very pleasing in person, and amiable in character.” London, September 4. Major-general Grant has announced the dis covery of the longitude, by a mathematical in strument which shews the rate of a ship’s sail ing, with the greatest accuracy. This instru ment is connected with others, which point out the rate of the ship, her latitude and longitude, in direct or obiique sailing. The MSS belonging to the Stuart familv, about which so much has been said, and to in spect which Mr. Fox was understood to have been induced to visit Paris a few years ago for historical purposes, arc. according to report, now in this country. An envelope, stating that the contents were those papers, was, we arc informed, exhibited at the secretary of state’s office some months ago, and it is not unlikely to be produced again before ford Lllenbc rcugh, . . THE NAVY*. The enemies of the administration arc reviv ing their old clamors about a navy for the pro tection of our commerce. i hey seem to be governed by the resolution to stick to their tr iors to the end of the chapter. As these opponents of republican policy boast of wise heads—heads which put Solo mon's v\ isdoni to the blush—we suppose they will admit that a navy, to be useful, must be competent to the end to which it is intended. Now what is that end ? The protection of American commerce. That is, not the protection of a few ships—. but the piotection of all ships belonging to the citizens of this country in every part ol the globe. For this purpose we must have a stro’ g nava forcc in the West-Indies and along the tvpaa nish main. A strong naval force along our own coast, from Newfoundland to the Gulf of Mexico. A strong naval force in the English and Irish channels, the Baltic, in the Mediterra nean, in the seas beyond the Cape of Good Hope. What force would it require to do all this ? Allow 100 sail of the line. Well : this fotce, you may say, would keep off’ marauders, freebooters, privateers, at and per haps a king’s ship occasionally. But if Great Britain were determined to mo lest-its, would 100 or would 200 sail of vessels of war be sufficient to oppose her ? Why did the Danes not send out their navy to combat that of England ? Because they knew it would only fall a.sacrifice. Yet they have a naval force not at all contemptible. Great Britain has upwards cf 1000 vessels of war. Now, if vve had 100, it is clear the English would have more then ten to one —a difference rather too great to contend with. 100 vessels of war would he no obstacle-to the British—they would attack 11s jt st as soon if we had that number as if v.e had only one ship of war. Then why build a puny navy, which our enemy would snap up jnstantrr ? Bui such a navy would cost the people of this country a great deal of money—more mo ney in fact, than all the profits of all our com merce woijld come to. Is commerce worth defending at such a price ? Who would pay more for a thing than it-is worth ? Why do not these animals who arc always bleating out for a navy, calculate the cost ? Let them do that, then let them sit down and cast jp the amount of profit from all our com merce ; and strike the balance. That is the way to come at the truth. But is there tobe no defence for the country? Surely there is. Reasonable fortification's, ;ssisted by gun boats and batteries, at points iccessary to be particularly guarded. This ought to Ire sufficient for rational mcti. Yet nothing will satisfy some growlers but mea sjves that would injure the country ; and it is verily believed that the object of those who are; howling for a navy, is merely to plunge the li. States into utter ruin.— Balt. American. COUNTERFEITERS. We learn that that the noted Stephen Bur roughs was taken last week in his barn, at Stan stead, Canada, and that he was conveyed from thence to Montreal. He had a room complete ly finished in his hay-mow, 10 by 15 feet, where he kept all his apparatus, and pursued his lu crative business. In this recluse he was taken, after attempting in vain to discharge* his pis tol at the officer, which he snapped several times without effect. Sixteen hundred dollars in counterfeit bills were found with him, signed, and ready for traffic ; and about as many more printed, which had not the legal signa ure affix ed to them— Danville paper. By a person directly from Stans'.ead, we aro informed, that after travelling a couple of davs with his escort, Burroughs made his escape from them, by jumping fiom a chamber in which was a guard of four men, and is r.ow ‘Jfc liberty.— Pulit. Obxerv. On Thursday last, [Sept 26th] Daniel Bora and Edward Burroughs , son of the noted Ste phen Burroughs , were apprehended at Leban on on suspicion of counterfeiting money, ajxl brought before justice Kendrick for examina tion. Evidence sufficient to render their guilt quite probable being produced, they were ac cordingly ordered to recognize in the sum of 1000 dollars each, and for want of bonds, to stand committed until the next session of ti e supreme court. They passed through this town on Saturday oil their way to Haverhill jail ; their trial will corne on in October next.’ Search was made and 1,400 dollars in coun terfeited bills, (bills principally of Cheshire, Smlthfield and Maine Banks) were found in their possession. The young pupil Burroughs, has commenced his career in early life, his age not exceeding 18 or 19 years.— Han. Guz. The papers printed in the Canadas continue to be filled with accounts of the reviews of the. militia in those degraded appendages of the B itish empire, and of the military ardor and devotion to his majesty which is every’ where displayed. We would inform these printers that they may save themselves the trouble of attempting to deceive us. We have other means of information besides their newspapers, by all which we are assured, that a bold refrac tory spirit actuates at least one half of the peo ple, who do not hesitate to avow their prefer ence of the American government to their own, and who, if an army from the states should ap pear among them, would instantly eurol them selves among the advocates cf freedom — Poii\ Observatory.
