STATE PAPER.
Tiic following Royal Rescript has been pub
lished lately by the king of Prussia :
■-'O THE DEPUTIES FROM THE MARK OF
BRANDENBURG.
“ Faithful and beloved subjects—l have re
ceived at the hands of your deputies, the Coun
cillors P.mnwiss, Zicten, and the burgomaster
I'reytag, of the choice of whom I must express
my particular satisfaction, your memorial of
tiie doth instant, relative to the occurrences in
tile Middle Mark, l’rignitz and Ukkermark,
during the occupation of the French. Great
and oppressive as the burthens are, which the
unfortunate v. ar now concluded has brought
upon nn faithful vassals and subjects in the
said provinces, and severely as I am sensible
of them, tiie unshaken fidelity and attachment
of my subjects is still greater, as their patient
endurance has proved. You have by your con
duct obtained the esteem of the French, which,
if persevered in, will, now that peace is conclud
ed, shew you still more of that forbearance, with
w hich, when enemies, they endeavored to dimin
ish the calamities of war.
“ It must first be your care to satisfy, to the
utmost of your power, the arrears of the con
tributions levied by the French army, since on
that alone must depend whether we shall soon
enjoy the fruits of peace, and be enabled to heal
the sev ere wounds which war has inflicted on
our country. To facilitate your performance
of this, 1 will endeavor to abrogate the debt
which i'e pavment of the contributions has
obliged “the country to contract, by every pos
sible economy in the disbursement from the
revenues of the country for the maintenance
of the civil and military state. With this view
1 have already reduced the pension list, and
confined it to cases of the utmost necessity, and
have made considerable progress in the limita
tion of civil and military service, much as it
mav pain my heart, especially as I must scpc
ratp my self from men of merit, and men who
have long served me. I must at all events
avoid the necessity of imposing new burthens
on my subjects, at a time when it is much more
mv duty to support them in every possible man
lier. 1 have, by sending general Knoblcsdorf
to Paris, done all that depends on me to pro
cure a diminution of the contributions, as also
a facilitation of the payments, by the accept
ance of instalments. All the conditions of the
pe n* 1 will certainly endeavor unremittingly
to I'ultil—more is not in my power—and I can
only refer you to privy councillor Caslach,
whom 1 have provisionally appointed to the
provincial administration of the electoral mark,
and appointed civil commissary general for all
affairs relative to the peace of the provinces,
and in the city lie will afford you every as
sistance.” “Frederick William.
“Memel, August 29, 1807.”
The deputies of Berlin wrote to the king on
the 14th of August, and in answer received
the following cabinet letter :
The affection with which tiie deputies and
representatives of the citizens of my good city
of Berlin, in their letter of the 14t'n of last
month, have endeavored to console me for the
loss of so many brave subjects, has made an in
finite impression on me. 1 remember my -lost
children with grief and gratitude ; while I give
my love undivided to those who remain. 1 anx
iously expect the time when I may again see
them, and do all in my power to hasten it. On
this iny good* citizens of Berlin may rely, till 1
can shew myself to them in person as their gra
cious king. “Frederick William.
“ Memel, September 6, 1807.”
Holstein, September 19.
On the 14lh another ordinance was published
relative to priv ateers, and the establishment of
courts for the adjudication of prizes. These
com is are to be established at Flushing, Altona,
and other places. As in this ordinance the prin
ciple that “ free ships make free goods,” is
laid down as net to be departed from, the priva
teers are strictly forbidden to bring in any ships
cither of friendly or neutral nations, let the car
goes appertain to whom they may if the ship’spa
pers are found to beregular, and she he not load
ed with goods contraband of war, destined for an
English port. “ As free ships make free goods,”
so, on the other hand, the principle “ that ene
my’s ships trfifke enemy’s goods,” is likewise to
be acted on, unless it can lie satisfactorily shewn
that the cargo is neutral property, and was put
on board before the commencement of the war.
Berlin, Septemberß.
M. Yonßrockhausen, lately envoy at Dresden
is spoken of as ambassador to Paris; this at
least is certain, that he to-day received an order
by a courier to repair mmediately to Paris.
Count Lehndorff, late secretary of legation at
the court of Russia, has been appointed envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to
the same court, in the room of count Goltz.
The following eight ministers have been dis
missed : Yon Augern, Von Goldbeck, Von. In
gers'.cbcu. Von Massow, Von derKeck, Von lte
den, Yon Thulmeyer, and Yon Voss. The mi
nister Von Stem has been recalled from his es
tates to Mi mel, and received the chief direc
tion of the finances, as first minister of that de
partment. To baron Schrotter (late chancellor
of the kingdom of Prussia, and chief president of
tiie west Prussian government at Marienwer
der) his majesty has given the superintendance
of the department of justice, and of the eciesi
astical department, to which is annexed the di
rection of every 1 tiling relative to churches and
chapels.
\ iekva, August 15.
The court Gazette of this day contains the
following article under the head, Turkey :
“ On the first of July the captain Pacha, with
his w hole fleet, made anew attempt on Tc-nne
dos ; but the troops which had disembarked
had scarcely time to get back to their ships.
The fleet was defeated, and six Turkish cap
tains, and twelve tschauch killed ortaken pri
soners, or devoured by the flames, which began
to rage on board several ships at the same tune.
The well known Bcldr Bey is among the slain.
Ihe grand admiral, with his dismasted three
derive! - , has returned to the Straits of Constanti
nople.
“ Oi: the lffrh of July, a dreadful fire broke
<ut in the suburb of Galatea, at Constantinople,
Thick destroyed many thousand houses.” ,
t,ojfn ?n, September 14. j
\ urious reports are in circulation, respecting
the object of the new expedition. Among others,
it is said, its destiny is Halifax, a-Scotia.
Letters from Lisbon per packet, stated that
Spain had demanded six sail of the line and
10,000 troops from Portugal, and that, in com
pliance w ith this demand, the ships wereequip
ig-
Madeira—The quid mines have guessed
that the expedition now fitting out at Ports
mouth, is destined to take possession of the is
land of Maderia ; but it is not to be supposed
that ministers have trusted such leaky gentle
men with their secrets. A force (said to he
3,000) is ordered to be embarked ; and trans
ports have been victualled for three months at
Portsmouth. The expedition is expected to
sail in September. If Madeira is the object of the
expedition its possession will be in consequence
of an arrangement with Portugal, as in 1801 ;
when we took it by consent of the Portuguese.
It was garrisoned jointly by the troops of both
nations ; and no change was to take place in the
government of the island.
Savannah,
SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1307.
A gentleman who left Milledgeville on Sun
day last, informs, that the Legislature had pass
ed an act, dividing the count) of Baldwin into
five counties, and Wilkinson into three ; which
eight counties form a fourth circuit. No officers
had been elected for this circuit; nor had the
new counties yet been named. They had like
wise passed an act, altering the sittings of the
Mayor’s Court; which is to be as formerly, eve
ry month, instead of every three months.’
A bill has passed the house of representatives
to prevent profane swearing ; and another has
been introduced to punish lying aud drunken
ness.
The bill to establish a State Bank was still
before the senate, and seemed so popular a thing
that little doubt was entertained of its passing.
Chari.kston , November 24.
By the schooner Henry Dennison, w e have
been favored with New-York papers to the
15tli inst. From one of the last we copy the
following article ; but think it is not entitled to
any credit :
Boston, November 10.—Last evening a re
port was brought to town, through different
channels, from Marblehead, stating that one or
more fishermen had arrived there from the
Banks, which had been spoken by the Revenge,
on her passage from England, and informed
that WAR WAS DECLARED AGAINST
THIS COUNTRY!
The 98th and Newfoundland regiments from
Halifax, have arrived at Quebec ; in conse
quence of which the loth and 100th regiments,
lately stationed there, have been ordered to
Montreal.
Gun-boat No. 16, lieutenant Ballard, sailed
for the Belize on Monday last, whence it. is
understood she will proceed to cruize off', in the
Gulph. We believe this is the fir ’, boat order
ed on ou r coast — N Ew-Orll ans pap.
Messrs. Evf.ritt St Evans,
In the Intelligencer of the 27th inst. we have
the substance of a set of resolutions introduced
into the house of representatives by Mr. Bryan,
which ape said to have passed with only four or
fire disssentient voices. This statement is in
correct. The fact is, the resolutions passed
unanimously ; and the adoption of them is so ex
pressed upon the journals. There was some
disagreement as to the preamble to the resolu
tions, which was introduced, not by Mr. Bryan,
but-by Ebenczer 11. Cummings, esq. of Wilkes
county. Z.
ISLAND OF ST. THOMAS,
Capt. Johnson, of the schooner Amity, arriv
ed at New-York on the Bth instant, from St.
Themas’s, informs, that on the 10th of October,
the day of his departure, alarm guns were lived
by the Danish batteries, and the captains and
seamen of all the Danish vessels ordered into
the forts, as an attack from the British was mo
mently’ expected. The British squadron con
sisted only of one frigate and an armed brig, but
there had been occasionally five vessels cruis
ing near the island. Previous to capt. Johnson’s
sailing, a flag of truce hud been sent by the go
vernor of St. Thomas, to the commander of the
British squadron, to ehquire whether war was
declared between the two nations, but returned
without an answer.
Captain Dixon, arrived at New-York on the
12th instant, in 25 days from St. Thomas, in
forms, that that place was strictly blockaded,
and was then under martial law’—that alarm
guns were constantly firing—that the markets
were glutted with every kind of produce, and
that all intercourse with St. Croix had ceased.
One of the Danish cutters that used to carry the
mail from St. Croix to St. Thomas, nas beciK
taken by the British and sent into Antigua.
