Head Onartert at July 18, 1806:" The Tower and Park Guns were fired a for the vsciory in Calabria. It is mentioned in letters from Berlin, a the King of PrnfRa has required a Germany fbould be evacuated by the French." If foch a demand has been made, 3. war between the two countries is uoa- will not eafily relin- quifo the hold which he has upon Germany. It is one of the main pillars of his pre- fent power it is oce of the chief foorces nf his cnterprife and ambition. This intelligence, we fear, is too cornpre- that the requifmoos to i a from a certain part of Germany has been magnified into a peremptory demand of evacuating it generally.

It is very likely, however, that Pruflia may have called upon France for fome explanation refpeftmg the intention i which a large army is collected on the Saxon frontier.

PHILADELPHIA, Oft. 29. A gentleman, who arrived here from yefterday morning, reports, that a letter had been received in that city From a refpeftable gentleman in Liverpool, dated the i 7 of September, in which it is oofitively afTerted, that Mr. Fox was dead, and that Lord Lauderdale had act a arrived in London, without accom- piifiiing the object of his miffion. Extrael of a letter dated St.

Louis, Sept. 21, l8o6. Conceiving the fefe arrival of MefTrs. Lewis and Clark, who went two years and four months ago to explore the Miflburi, to be anxioufly wifhed for by every one, I have the pieafure to mention, that they arrived here about one hour ago, in good health, with only the iofs of one man, who died. They viilted the Pacific Ocean, which they left on the 27th of March iafh They would have been here about the of Auguft, but for the detention they met i from fnow and froft in crof (ing the a i on which are eternal fnows.

Their a will no doubt be not only i a intere(ling to us all, but a fortune for the and laudable a When they arrived three che.ts were fired. They really have the appearance of Robinfon Crufoes, drefled i in bucks fkins. We know all very foon. I have had no particulars 5 Extrscl of a letter from Briftol, in a to a a in Charlefton, dated the I4th Aug. 1806.

Nothing coulrf be better timed a the arrival of your new Envoy, who, it is faid, is charged i i from your government concerning a commerce, of a verj conciliatory lEWSPAPERr The claim to tlie direct: trade between the colonies of France acd Spain, and thole countries, fo injurious to our a i i rights, it is faid is rermguiflied indeed, had it not been, I don't fee how a peace could ever fubfid between the two countries for if it is conceded to your a i the Danes, Swedes, and all other neutrals, would bring forward the fame rights--and then what would become of our navy, at a time too when it is the barrier againit tiniverfal deitruftion for give me leave to obferve without i your a i a pride, that the navy of Great Britain is a barrier for you as well as for us. It is with this view of the matter that my letters from London reprefent our government to have pledged themfelves, to hold the fleets of Great Britain ready at all times to co-operate i the United States againft any on which may be threatened either by- France or Spain, both of which hold a ry hoftile tone againft America. It is ru- moured a the ba(is of the new treaty between England and the United States is the renunciation, on the part of the latter, of the direot trade, in for which "Great Britain fecures TO you the indirect trade, under certain modifications, mutually advantageous to both parties ftri6t regulations as to fearch, impreffment from American veflels totally forbid, your government pledging itfelf to give up all de- ferters all expeditionsby France or Spain to the United States, the Floridas, or Lou- ifiana, to be clofed watched by Brhifli fquadrons, and thefe are believed to be the outlines of the new arrangement. God grant we may foon fee them ratified by a permanent a for i a i the rafhnefs of your cils, we are fenfible England and America muft be friends. I a it from the beft a i that Mr.

Monroe was on the point of concluding the treaty, when the a i act, Mr, Wright's motion in the Senate, and the intemperate cla- mour at New Yoik about Pierce, overfet every thing and had not Mr. P. arrived fo with conciliatory propofL tions, war mud have enfued. It is greatly to be a that you have fo many hot headed democrats among you, and we fo a foolifh and pailionate editors, to it.fhme and embitter the public mind on both fiJes thefe people do all the mSf" chief it is, however, to be hoped, that in future the rational good fubjecls of both countries will i a fuch miC. chievous practices, and promote harmonv; and good will," NEWSPAPER!.
