DOCUMENTS.
The folllowing documents accompanied the
President's late message to Congress:
NOTE
Communicated by lord Howick to Mr. Mo huge,
dated January 10, 1807.
The undersigned, his majesty’s principal se
cretary ol state for foreign affairs, has received
bis majesty's commands to acquaint Mr. Mon
roe, that the French government, having issued
certain orders, which, in violation of the usages
of war, purport to prohibit the commerce of
allneutial nations with bis majesty’s domin
ions, and also to prevent such nations from tra
iling with any other country ip, any articles,
the growth, produce, or manufacture of his ma
jesty’s dominions; and the said government
having also taken upon itself to declare all his
majesty’s dominions to be in a state of block
ade at a time when the fleets of France and
her allies, aie themselves confined within their
ports by the superior valor and discipline of the
Briti >h navy.
Such attempts on the part of the enemy,
giving to bis majesty an unquestionable light
of retaliation, and warranting his majesty in en
forcing the same prohibition of all commerce
with France, which that power vainly hopes to
effect against the commerce of his majesty’s
subjects a p'ohibi ion which the superiority of
bis majesty's naval forces might enable him to ;
support, by actually investing the ports and
coasts of the enemy wiih numerous squadrons
and cruisers, so as to rrake the entrance or ap
proach thereto manifestly dangerous.
His majesty, though unwilling to follow the
example ol his enemies by proceeding to an
extremity so distressing to all nations not en
gaged in the war, and carrying on their ac
customed trade ; yet feels himself bound by a
due regard to the just defence of the rights
and interests of bis people not to sutler such
measures to lie taken by the enemy, without
taking some steps on his part, to restrain this
violence, and to retort upon them the evils ol I
their own injustice. Mr. Monroe is therefore
requested to apprise the American consuls and
merchants residing in England, that his majes
ty his therefore judged it expedient to order
that no vessel shall be permitted to trade from
one port to another, both which pons shall be
long to, or be in possession of France or her
allies, or shall be so tar under their control as
that British vessels may not freely trade there
at : and th it the commanders of his majesty’s
ships of war and privateers, have been instruc
ted to warn every neutral vessel, coming fiom
any such port, and destined to another such
port, to discontinue her ,oyage,/ind not to pro
ceed to any such port ; and every vessel, after \
being so warned, or any vessel coming from
any such pot t, after a reason ible time shall
have been Horded for receiving information of
this bis majes y’s order, which shall be found
proccediu t< another such port, shall be cap
tured and b ought in, and together with her
carg > shall oe condemned as lawful prize ; and
that from this time ail the measures authoris
ed hy the law of nations, and the respective
treaties between his majesty and the different
neutral powers will be adopted and executed
with respect to vessels attempting to v iolate the
•aid order after this notice. Howick.
Downing street, January 10, 1807. ,
SPANISH ORDER.
THAN L A I ION.
greatest outrage against humanity
and against policy, Spain was forced by Gieat-
Biitain to take a part in the present war. This
power has exercised over the sea and over the
commerce of the world an exclusive dominion.
I let numerous factories, disseminated through
all countries, ate like sponges which imbibe
the riches of those, (countries) without leaving
them more than tlu. appearance of mercantile
liberty. From this maritime and commercial
despotism, England detives immense I'csources
for carrying on a war, whose object is to destroy
the commerce which belongs to each state
from its industry, and situation. Experience
has proven that the morality of the British cab
inet has no hesitation as to the means, so long as
they lead to the accomplishment ofits design ;
and whilst this power can continue to enjoy the
ft nils of iis immense traffic, humanity will
groan under the weight ol a desolating war.
To put an end to this, and to attain a solid peace,
the emperor of the French and king ot Italy,
issued a decree on the 21st ot November last,
in which, adopting the principle ei reprisals,
the blockade of the British isles is determined
on ; and his ambassador, bis excellency Francis
de Beaunavnois. grand dignitary of the order
of the iron crown, ofthe legion of honor, kc.
having communicated this (decree) to the king
our master, and his majesty being desirous to
co-operate bv means sanctioned by the rights
of reciprocity, has been pleased to authorise his
most serene highness, the prince generalissimo
ofthe marine, to issue a circular ofthe follow
ing tenor:
” A* soon as England committed the horrible
outrage of intercepting the vessels of the royal
marine, insidiously violating the good faith with
which peace assures individual property, and
the rights of nations, his majesty considered
himself m a state of war with that power, al
though his royal soul suspended the promulga
tion ofthe manifesto until he saw the atrocity
committed by its seamen, sanctioned by the
government of London. From that lime, and
without the necessity of warning the inhabit
ants of these kingdoms, of the circumspection
with which they ought to conduct themselves
towards those of a country which disregards the
sacred laws of property, and the righ's of na
tiens; its majesty made knowvr to his subjects.
the state of war, in which he found himself with
that nation. All trade, all commerce is pro
hibited in such a situation, and no sentiments
ought to be entertained towards such an ene
my, which are not dictated by honor, avoiding
all intercourse which mightbe considered as the
vile effect of avarice, operating on the subjects
ofa nation, which degiadcs itself Ln them. His
majesty is well persuaded that such sentiments
of honor arc rooted in the hearts of his beloved
subjects—but he pares not choose, on that ac
count, to allow the smallest indulgence to the
violators of the law, nor permit that, through
their ignorance, they should be taken by sur
ptise, authorising me, by these presents, to de
clare that all English property will be confis
cated whenever found on bbuid a vessel, al
though a neutral, if the consignment belongs
to Spanish individuals, bo likewise, will be
confiscated, all merchandize which may be met
with, although it may be in neutral vessels,
whenever it in destined for the ports of England
or her isles. And, finally, bis majesty, con
forming himself tq the ideas of his ally, the
emperor of the French, declares in his states
the same law, which from principles of recipro
city and suitable respect, his imperial majesty
promulgated under date of the 21st of Novem
ber, 1306.
“The execution of this determination of his
majesty belongs to the chiefs ot provinces, of
departments, and of vessels, (baxels), and. com
municating it to them in the name of hismajes- j
tv, 1 hope they wili leave no room for the royal j
displeasure.

London September 8. j
We are glad to find, that the rumour of the
United States having given our government
only four days to decide upon our answer to
the dispatches brought by the Revenge schoo
ner, is wholly unfounded. We did not indeed
attach any credit to it. The diffci cures be-’
1 tween the two countries are to be, as they
ought to be. deliberately discussed. The Unit
ed Stales arc said to be willing to. ailow the
search for goods under circumstances ; but not
to allow any vessel bearing their flag, to be
searched for men. But in order to identify
British and Ametican seamen, they propose
that agents shall be stationed in every commer
cial port in each country, before whom ail com
plaints shall be heard and decided, and every
seaman given up to that na’.ioh to which he is
found to belong.— Courier.
It is said we have taken possession of Heli
goland.
Bonaparte has fresh cause to rejoice in the
; treaty of Tilsit, for the accounts from Constan
; dimple, published by the French themselves, j
1 confess that the Turks have been worsted by
sea and land—that they have been driven back •
to this side the Danube—that the captain I’a>
1 cha’s fleet has been defeated with great slaugh-
I ter—that the two attempts against the Rus
’ sians at Tcnedos have failed, and that, in short,
! misfortunes every where,attend the Turkish
j arms. But for the treaty of Tilsit, tre Turks
j would have sued for peace almost upon any
! terms ; ihe Russian army in Turkey would
have joined the lilts 1 im army in Poland, ar and
the whole force of the Russian empire would
have been opposed to France. These consi
derations will probably not tend to increase the
popularity of the peace in Russia.
From the register of deaths in the Russian
empire, during the year 1806, it appear-, that
there died in that period, one between 145 and
150 years-pfage, one between 130 and 135,
four between 115 and 130, six between 120,
and 125, thirty-two between 115 and 120, twen
ty-six between 110 and 11.5, eighty-six between
105 and i 10, an hundred and thirty-seven be- .
tween 100 and 105, and eleven hundred and
thirty-four between 95 and *oo. —London Jiafl.

THE BIRTH OF A BLUSH.

And gave those latent poisons birth
That thro’ life's sweets infection spread,
Bereft of home, her form to fereen,
Meek Modesty deserted ftray’d,
Unnoticed and unknown—when seen,

For ArrECTATioN child of Guile, •

Afifum’d her air—her artless smite—
And undisputed held her teiyn.

And mark'd her presence wnh a sivau.
MANUFACTURING interest or PITTSBURG.
From Ciatner’s A raanac for 1808.
The fi flowing enumeration of the manufac
tories, artists and mechanics of Pittsburgh, will
give a'tolerable good idea ol the progress ol the
place. Perhaps no place of ifie same size m
the United Stales could turnout as many in
dustrious urtizans, and it is believed we bid the
fairest of becoming the most considerable ma
nufacturing people, for an interior town, in the
union. The natural situation of the'place must
push us on to this point—and the local advan
tages attending u.s. are uncommonly r.uis.erous,
and peculiarly adapted lor our convenience. In
a few years we hope to see all articles in
iron, brass, copper, kr. manufactured among
ourselves. It wants nothing now to accomplish
this but a few spirited and monied men to set
the thing on fu,<t, and give countenance to the
enterprize. There ate many articles daily
floating over the mountains, which help to
drain the country of vnohey to pay for them,
and w hich might as easily be made here, as a
common horse shoe, were the proper steps tak
en. There is at least 200.000 dollars worth of
hard ware sold out of our stores annually, which
ought to .be nrade on the spot. The principal
ol these articles are scythes, sickles, spades,
shovels, flat irons, drawing-knives, carpenter’s
squares, lumd and mill currycombs, cot
fee-mills, chissels, gimblcts, hammers, styvcls
and tongs, and-iions, fenders, knives and forks,
bridle-bits, mounting for cabinet work, kc. au
gurs, and many other articles not recollected.
And there might be 20 OCO dollars saved in the
article of delf, and as much more in the article
of fine glass, all of which might be manufactur
ed in the town, and wants no.hing but a public
spirit iti the citizens to accomplish it. Let this
public spiti* exist, and the object is neatly ac
complished ; nothing but this is wanting—mo
ney. materials, and workmen are at hand. We
can only hope that the propriety and advanta
ges yf these things may be properly looked into.
The population and buildings aie also in
creasing very rapidly—in 1806 there were
built about 80 dwellings—this season, 1807,
about 100 is on the way. It was our intention
to have taken an exact emimeratien of all the
buildings, with the number of the inhabitants.
Circumstance's, however, prevented us, but we
will try to attain this object for cur next yeai’s
Almanac, and, at present, present our readers
with the number of muster workmen in each
particular branch of business can ied on in Pitts
burgh—we have tried to get the statement as
col l ect as possible, if any mistakes should have
occurred we hope they will be pointed out to us,
with a communication of any other information
which may be deemed worthy of notice, and io
the advancement of our manufacturing interest.
