COLUMBIAN CENTINEL.
SATURDAY , OCTOBER 4. ’
General Anthony Morales, Con
sul general of the Dutch Government,
has appointed Curtis Bolton, Esq.
as Vice-Consul for the Dutch Govern
ment, in the state of Georgia, at the re
sidence of Savannah.— Sav. Museum.
> Philadelphia, Sept. 8.
The marquis Cassa Yrujo arrived here
yesterday, and intends proceeding on his
way to the seat of government this morn
ing, We under stand he has his new cre
dentials with him ambassador from the
king of Spain to this country, with a re
commendation from the French gov
ernment that his rc-appointment be re
ceived. It is expected our government
will, still persist in their determination to
have him recalled.
Capt. Willson arrived at New-York,
in 35 days from Gibraltar, informs,
that in'eiiigvnce had reached that place
•She day before he sailej, of an engage
ment having taken place between the
French and Neapoleon troops before
Gxta, which had terminated very un
favorable for the French, they having
experienced great loss in killed, woun
ded, and prisoners, besides the destruc
tion of the besieging batteries which
had taken them several months to erect.

Norfolk, Sept, 8.
THE FLEETS.
Our coast it is probable will be the
scene of a great Naval enterprize, as
the British fleet, as well as the French,
is now near us, On Saturday evening
the Melampus frigate, one of the fleet
' of Sir Richard, anchored in Hampton
Roads. Tins fleet is composed of the
Cx sir, 84 guns.
Audacious, 74
' Btlleisle, 74
Bellona, 74
Montague, 74
'Terrible, 74
Triumph, 74
Melatnpua and another frigate.
It appears that Sir Richard Strachan,
having heard in the West-Indies, that
Admiral Williamez was on the coast of
America and probably knowing the
rout which Sir John B. Warren had
.... taken he lost no time in seeking the
French fleet, and it is surprising how*
.they have missed them. That the fleet
of Admiral Williamez, and the squad
ron of Commodore L,Hermite, or parts
ot both were on the coast, there can be
bo doubt.
The Patriot of 74 guns, and the Vel-
Crouse frigate, belonging to Admiral
Williamez’s fleet are in port, the for
mer at Annapolis, and the latter in the
Deleware. The Cybele frigate belong
ing to Commodore "L’Hermite’s squad
ron, is in this port.
The following is a list of the French force:
The Reguius, 80 guns
Foildroyant, 84
Veteran, 80
. Majestic, 74
Eole, 74
Impeteux, 74
Patriot, 74 (at Annapolis)
President, 44
u : : ValercUss, Jh4o (in the Delaware)
Cybele, 44 (at Norfolk.)
Charleston , Sept. 25.
By the arrival of the brig Report, cap
tain Chapman, we have been favour
ed with flits of Paris and Bordeaux
papers to the 20th of July. These fur
nish us with an official account of
PRELIMINARIES of PEACE
having been signed between France
and Russia on the 20th July.
On the subject of Peace with England
the passengers in the Report state,
that the people of France were very
Sanguine—lt was known that nego
tiations were carrying on for this
purpose, and no doubts were enter
tained but that they would result
in Peace.
On a hasty perusal of our French pa
pers, we notice but few articles of any
interest, in addition to those we have
extracted.

the following extract of a letter (to the
editor,) from his Excellency the Presi
dent of the United States.
Washington , Dec. 13, 1804.
Sir,
YOU ask my opinion on the sub
ject pEpublishing the works of Alger
non Sidney. The world has so long
and so generally sounded the pr rises
of his “ discourses on government that
it seems superfluous, and even pre
sumptuous, for an individual to add his
feeble breath to the gale. They art in
truth a rich treasure of republican prin
ciples, supported by copious and c
gent arguments, and adorned with the
finest flowers of science: It is probably
the best elementary book of the principles
of government, as founded in natural
right, that has ever been published in
any language,.., And it is much to be
in such a government as ours,
that it should be pur into the hands of
out youth, as soon as their minds are
sufficiently matured for that branch of
study. Should you proceed to the pub
lication, be so good as to consider me
a subscriber; and accept my saluta
tions and assurances of great esteem
and respect. TH : JEFFERSON.
The Revd. Mr. Weems.
