The Cou 11 of Viennr has conftantiy teftified to your Ma jesty the most amicable inten tions, indignant at the policy of England, (he has recalled their Minifterfrom Londoi lent back the Minister who wrs at Vienna, (hut her ports against England, and placed herlaf in a Uate ot hostility with that Power. She has added to hefe measures an interdict in her ports against the adiniflion of vefTels, which, under a neurai flag, are only the carriers of English produce, andmerenan dize. Latterly, however, this Power has earned its armament beyond measure—its imitaiy force is out of all ptoporticn to its population and finaicet. Your Ministers, Sire, onlywilli to remark this, in older that your Majesty may peneive the neceflity of augmenting .our force, for the pur pole of ftiil preser ving the relative fupeior ity which exists between the power and the popuiaiiot of the power and the population of the two empires. . The Ameiicam, a pople who involve their lortune, their prosperity, and almolt theirex iltance, in commerce, lave given the example of a geat and courageous (acrifice. fhey have fuipended, by a general I embaigo, all commerce anc all 1 navigation, rather than fhanc * fully lubmit to that tribute whch j the Engldh inipofe on the ia , vigation ol all nations, Gerju j ny, Italy, Switzerland, 6c Hjl | land, are peaceable, and wait only lor a maritime peace to exert ail their induitry. Extra ft Jrcm the Mejfage of he Emperor to the Senate. I am dcieimined to cairv 01 the war with bpam with the uu molt activity, and dettroy ih' armies wfiicH Isngiand dis embarked io ihit country. The future fccurietv of my fubjecU, the prosperity of commerce, and a maritime peace, imlft alike depend on theft important operations. My alliance wi»h the Empe ror of Rullia extinguishes every hope which England can enter tain from her projects. I have no doubt ref peeling the peace of the Continent, but I neither will, nor ought to rely upon the falfe calculaiions and the errors of other Courts, and since my neighbors incrcafe their armies, it is a duty irr cum bent on me to incrcafe mine. The Empire of Constantino ple is Itruggiing with the mod violent convulsions ; Sultan Seiiin, the belt Emperor the Ottomans have had for a length of time, has just fallen by the hands of his own ncphc'rt. This cataflrophe has deeply as. fetttd me, London , Sept. 1. The Bret ft fleet is said to have put to sea again.

So great is the dist refs oft he Islands of Gauda. loupe and Martinique for pro. visions, that every effort will be made to relieve them. This of .courfe y will procure on our j part themoft afcfive measures to prevent them. If it be true that the 1 oolon lquadron put to ica wuh troops on board, it may be that the Weft Indies, and not the Baltic Islands, was their def vination But it is probable that Martinique Sc Gaudalotipe will fall before any succor can reach tnem from Europe. Downing Street, Sef)t 1, 1801. *My Lord—i have the honor to acquaint your Lordship, that Cfapt. Campbell arrived this even* ing with dispatches from Lieut. Geneva! Sir Arthur Wellesly, da ted Vtincira, 22<1 ult. giving an account of two victories obtained over the French armies in Portu gal—The first on the 17th at Zarn hu'cica, over the advanced corps of .the French, conaiting of 6000 men, commanded by Generals La borde and Brenier, in which the French were defeated with the loss ot 1500 men, killed, wounded and prisoners ; thfe second over the whole - of the French army i u Portugal consisting of - 14000 men* commanded by General Junot. wherein the French were com' pletely defeated, with the loss of 13 pieces of cannon ; 23 turr,- IjreU of amunition, and ab, r /ut 3600 men, in killed, wounded aod pri soners. <l In consequence of this action, General Kdierman arrived with a flag of 1 ruce at Head Quarters, on the 22cl to treat for terms. u Lieutenant Gen.

I BEG leave through your paper to inform the citizens of this county, and the public at large, that the information given to the Grand jury of the Jail’s being “ converted into a house of 1 lot, disorder and gambling,” is utterly untrue. On the 20th iuftant, there were a few gemlemeu of the Jury and witnefics who were attend * , ing court, who boarded with m*% ’ ; and who on that evening infilled , 1 on playing a game of whist 01 ’ b.xnething of that kind for a i tuulucent, and for lomeihing to drink ;- and I informed them i that i had no objection, and 1 the*V p*a‘ye<l for feme i.une —and J this wa* the billy time theie was | ever any card pitying Within the Jaii walls by my approbation, i and this was done wfdiout if ri* t jot or noilc.” . . , There were Pome time ago, two per Pons confined in Jail bv the Citv Counci l , for fines { # * • 1 imposed by them, and they at times, as l under flood, amused 1 I them (elves with playing cards in the room they were confined ; in. hut they never had any dis I puling or noting that* I knew l of to disturb eiihcr me or my j family, 6t any Other pei foils, j except on one night when I was j from home, when I was told ! the prisoners had been noisy in 1 their rooms, but luch rudenels | will at times happen in any Jail j wiifi per lons confined there— for it is not always found, that perfohs confined in Jail, ate uniformly orderly in their con dutf. The amufemenis of the pfifaners in their own room, I did-not interfere with, and while thev behaved orderly, I did not feel warranted in interfering therewith—a report had been cir. culated that thefijj pet Jons had been fuffered by me to go at large, but tbeftory was altogeth er fa lie, and was proved to be so by two affidavit's taken before- John Dentignac, Esq. and the per lons were never /uttered to go at large till difeharged by the City Council thcmfelveson the 23d of August last This (tory therefore like the information on which the prefentinent was founded, I confider as intended injuftly to do Ine an injury.— And I defy any person except in the fingie instance above men tioned, to fay that there was ever any card playing in my houl’e, or that there has ever been any in the debtors rooms or in any other part of the Jail, fmee the difeharge of the above mention ed perlons—and if the {late ment now given Ihould not fatis fy the public, the molt material fafts can be lubffantiated by the affidavit of one of the Grand Jury, who boarded with me during court, and of fcvcral others who also boarded with me at the fame time. I believe from the information I have re ceived, that the Jail has never been kept in a more orderly manner, than it has been under my direction. As to living in adultry with darling Peggy Pardue, though I will not pretend to have been more flee from faults in in for mer days than others, yet the woman mentioned has not as I know or believe, been even an inhabitant of this Rate for forne time past- nor have I ever seen or heard from her since her re- I moval.
