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. —— Times. 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. *'a k : ’ 1 j .)• BORDEAUX, July 29, Copy of fl letter from his Excellency the Minister of Marine and the Colonies, to the Principal Commissioners of Ma rine in Bordeaux ; “Paris, S2d July, 1806. “In obedience to the orders of his Majesty the Einperof and king, I in form you, Sir, thatthte PEACE be tween FRANCE and RUSSIA was signed the 20th of this month.

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.
