was lost—and for the cannon that was left,
according to the report of colonel HnseY,
mmunition for more than 5
discharges; I was still 7 miles distant from
Stettin—and the very last hope1 of obtain-
ing any thing upon the march had vanished.
From my support which still remained near
Lychen, and faun gevnerai Biucher's corps
I was already cut oil; without cavalry fit for
action; without ammunition, and above all
without provisions ; and convinced that I
should ouiy risk the lives of the lew that
remained as an unavailing sacrifice in your
majesty's service, I submitted to my hard
fate, and entered into a capitulation with
the enemy, the conditions of which your
majesty will sec in the supplement to this
Sispatch. I can safely lay my whole con-
• duct during the 1 before your ma-
jesty and posterity, and await the result with
«n unshaken confidence. I believe I can
prove that 1 have been the unhappy sacri-
fice to t-he circumstance ot not having
had my earliest proposals acted upon.—
The misfortune alone, and not the shame
effects me. The superiority' of the ene-
my's cavalry, had for some time past nearly
ruined the whole detachment under general
Schimmclpennick. It was upon the exist-
ence of this corps, which had destroyed all
the bridges over the Rhinow, the Havel,
and the Finow Canal, that I rested the
practibility of my retreat. In the supple-
ments, your majesty will perceive the extent
of the losses sustained by the above menti-
oned.detachments ; I have conducted an ar-
my without bread, forage, or ammunition,
while the enemy moved in the same direc-
tion. The impossibility of obtaining my
object is nrether imputable to my want of
zeal, good will or to the inadequacy of my
orders. The greatness of my misfortunes
may be regretted, but I cannot be deprived
of the truncheon of honour.
I am preparing to lay at the feet of your
majesty a circumstantial detail of all the
events which have occurred since the 14-th
instant.

WEDNESDAY, FEBfWAIlV~.' Communication" in
Mondays Gazette was guilty of a great, tho'
an unujiteiilional omission, in cot noticing
•with appropriate commendation, Mr. Mei-
neke, as one of the conductors of the con-
cert, to whom the public were (without de-
tracting from the merits of others) particu-
larly indebted for .the treat they enjoyed.
The performances were not only enriched
with two of his compositions, which do
him great honor ; but he, with a few others,
originally proposed and promoted the un-
dertaking, and was one of the conductors
who afforded very considerable aid, by his
aealous personal and professional exertions.
These considerations make it desirable that
the omission should be corrected, and par-
ticularly so when it is known that Mr. Mei-
neke, notwithstanding his acknowledged ta-
lents, as composer and teacher of music, is
a young gentleman in manners diffident and
retired, and in his general and professional
deportment, has rendered himself greatly re-
spected and esteemed hy all who are ac-
quainted with him.

" By a late order issued by the iiiterdnnt
of this place, it is required, that all mer-
chandize, of evcty description, shipped for
this port* must he accompanied with a Spa-
ni;h certificate of the consuls residing in
liferent ports—under the penalty of
seizure and confiscation, of goods and ves-
sels. The lime given to put this order in
force, is to the 1st of March—but the ves-
sel now in this port, should they come
back, without having every package so cer-
tified, will be liable to the penalty. No-
thin r is excepted but negroes. It might be
well to make this known through your pa-

LATE FROM N. ORLEANS.
" Captain Bowen, of the brig Sukey &
Betsy, arrived at New-York, from New-
Orleans, informs, that for some days pre-
vious to his sailing, the alarm had, in a
great measure subsided, and that the em-
bargo was raised on the 31st of Decem-
ber ; but that, on the morning of the se-
cond January, an Express arrived from
Cumberland, and a second Express reach-
ed New-Orleans in 3 days from Natchez,
with information, that General Adair with
an advanced guard of two thousand men
was within three days march of Natchez,
and that Burr was following with 6000
men. This occasioned a new alarm at
New-Orleans—another embargo was expect-
ed-—and all the inhabitants were exerting
themselves in removing their property.
'' A boat with 30,000 dollars pursued
the Susan and Betsy down the river, but
was too lale. If this newsis correct, there can
be little donbt of Burr's success against Neiv-
Orleans, if he should be wicked enough to
plunder that place, on his way to Mexico,
as there were only about 600 regular troops
under general Wilkinson, and a few volnn-,
teers ; with4.jj1.tt-6cM.fJ, 2 ketches, and one
schooner."
On Friday, in the house of representa-
tives of this state- Leib brought forward
his resolution for a committee to enquire
into the official conduct of gov. M'Kean

constitutional members were absent—in con-

For the FEDERAL GAZETTE.
To those citizens ef Baltimore npho are in
the English dry-good trade.
It has frequently been, matter of complaint
amongst you, that the wealthy inland tra-
der, should vexatiously pass thro' your city
with their ready money, to be disbursed in
the cities of your eastern competitors. The
cause fot this extra trouble and exfience on
the part of those inland traders,is well known,
by you to b.e, the hitherto want in our .ci-
ty, of a suitable supply of articles,other than
those received from G. Britian ; the buyer
possessed of means and credit will natural-
ly resort to therparket x/hich.can most com-
pletely furnish his wants ; and however
respectable or eminent you maybe, in your
competition, in one department of those
wants (the English) you lose, as you must
know, much of the benefit which would re-
sult to you herefrom, by reason of an entire
neglect to provide, on first rate term/, Cal-
cutta, China and French articles.
The writer hereof, is himself an importer
of English goods, and has observed with
great satisfaction, the published proposal for
a company for the commendable purpose of
securing a regular supply of India and east-
ern articles generally for this market. We
are all much indebted to the projectors of
this enterprize—the city generally and those
in the English trade most especially, seeing
lhat all will, beyond.controversy, be benefit-
ted. It is highly gratifying to see a few
public spirited names, so high on the sub-
scription list, for the organization of this
company, as goes nearly one half to its .com-
pletition ; and it is in an equal degree mor-
tifying to rind, that the many, who are most
immediately interested, and to be benefitted
thereby, are unaccountably delinquent. The
writer of this article has more than once,
heard slanderous aspersions on that class of
ouv c?tvz£fts, who aye in the trade to wlionj
this is addressed, charging t'neni, at a body,
deficient in spirited enterprize, talent or ca-
pacity, for the perfection of their a vocation.
He has taken pains to vindicate their*, from
what he hopes c:tv\, and will be proven, to be
a groundless aspersion. But if they conti-
nue to neglect embracing an opportunity
now in their power, of promoting esse rural-
ly their own immediate interests, and there-
by those of this prosperous city generally,
it will not be eas}' to reconcile such suplne-
ness, with a possession of the properties of
spirited enterprize and capacity ,¦ w lrich it
is jet hoped will not be found wanting in
that respectable and wealthy class of our ci-
tizens, who compose our traders with Great-
Britain.
The writer hereof, was this day at one of
the deposits for subscriptionjpapers, and was)
he owns, mortiiied to find on the list Ire saw,
scarce a name from the body now address-
ed—a body, for whom he naturally feeis a
tenacious solicitude, being himselfoire there-
of—a body more directly interested than any
other in the city, as they will be doubly be-
nefitted by a judicious organization of such
a company as is proposed. First, by the
immediate profits to result from tlie trade, to
all interested therein : secondly, hy the effi-
cient inducement it will assuredly hojd out
to the substantial money trader to our cityi
who finding eastern articles here, on first
rate terms, will not travel one hundred miles
further for therri, but remain intlais market
with his money and credit,, and supply at
the same time his wants in the English line.
Were the im/iortersfrom Engla nd, to re'
cevt.'C a remuneration of simple interest only'
for their money appropriated to this object)
it ought,-without further calculation, to be
deemed by them sufficient inducement, to en-
courage so laudable, and to them especially
eventually lucrative enterprize.
Furthermore, the traih' itselfpl ausibly pro-
mises to be profitable.
The names thus far seen on the subscrip.
tion paper, are chiefly such as cyn have on-
ly the profitable investure of their mo-
ney, and thejprosperity of the city in view
by their subscriptions—motives to be sure
amply strong—but you, gentlemen, who
trade in British fabrics, have not only those
strong stimulants, in common with your
fellow-citizens, but the additional cogent
one of vending your English yvith Eastern
imports—the former more profitable and cer-
tain, by having the latter, in the market
any where, whether in your own hands im-
mediately or not. Should any of you reply
that means are wanting, remittances from
the interior being tardy, the very reason
why your remittances are thus tardy, (more
so it is true, and well known, than to any
other city of the grade of ours on the conti-
nent-) is this said want of a com/itetely gene-
ral supply—as buy«;rs of first pretensions^
for means and credit, go of necessity, to
the eastern tojvns, not being able to furnish
themselves generally here ; and those that
fall to your lot, being only of second grade(
have it not generally in their power, to
meet their engagements with you with
promptitude. Remove the raise and the fier-
nicions consequence will cease.
The stipulated terms of subscription to
this judiciously proposed association, are
convenient : One fourth only at a short
term, say next month ; and the residue at
such convenient periods thereafter, as gives
you ample time to make your arrangements
accordingly. Should you even find it pru.
dent to diminish your English trade lor a
year, some ten, or more hundred pounds
sterling ; so as to carry this politic under-
taking into prompt effect, it would be a
wise dimination rather than forego the ul-
timate certain benefits, to result from a ca-
pital thus wisely invested ; great part o*
which will be furnished from sources, not at
all connected with your line of pursuit ; and
will speedily, up doubt, be directed to other
channels, if you do not promptly come for-
ward, or if you suffer it to languish for
want of your item of contribution. It is
not, however, believed that any diminution
of your customary trade, can be at all ne-
cessary ; as if each of you take only one
share, (say ,to three) it will be adequate to
carry the plan into immediate effect ; sup-
ported as it is already by names of laudable
public spirit. Furthermore the stock in this
institution, it is confidently believed, will
soon command a better premium than any
other stock in this city whatever, the cele-
brated water stock not even excepted ; af-
ter the recent mania, occasioned by that
stock, shall have duly evaporated.
The subscription papers to the " China
and Calcutta Chmpany," it appears, are to
be withdrawn from the mentioned offices,
before the tenth instant !

Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, February 3.
[Taken for the FEDERAL GAZETTE-]
Mr.. Boyle, from the committee of public
lands, reported a bill respecting claims to
lands in the territories of Orleans and Loui-
siana, which was referred to a committee of
the whole house.
Mr. Early moved that the committee of
commerce anfl manufactures he discharged
from the further consideration of the petiti-
on of sundry merchants in different parts of
Massachusetts, praying for an extension of
the time at present allowed by law for the
payment of duties on goods imported from
the West-Indies. Carried.
The bill providing for the survey of the
coasts of the United States, (which origina-
ted in the house) was sent from the senate
with two or three amendments, and was re-
ferred to the committee of commerce and
manufactures.
The house took up the bill authorising
the issuing of debentures in certain cases —
[This bill, it will be recollected, was about
to be ordered to a third reading, when the
house adjourned on Saturday ]
Mr- J- Clay was about to offer an amend-
ment, when the speaker informed him that
it would be out of order.
Motions were then made to postpone the
bill indefinitely —to the 3d March —till Mon-
day next—all of which were lost.
Mr. Early moved that the bill be recom-
mitted to a committee of the whole, which
was carried ; and the house immediately re-
solved itself into a committee of the whole
on the said bill.
Mr. Eppes moved tp.strike out the second
section, which grants relief in. crfses which
have already happened.
This motion occasiened considerable de-
bate, in which the principles of the bill
were advocated and opposed on the same
grounds as formerly—The motion was how-
ever lost- yeas 49, nays 52—when the
committee of the whole rose and reported
the bill with amendments ; but before the
house had time to take up the report of the
committee of the whole, an adjournment
was called for, which prevailed—[So that
the bill is in statu quoi]
The brig Susau and Pajsy, (arrived at
New-York) from New-Orleans, left there
the ship Roboreas, Hall, and schr.---------,
Hawes, of Dartmouth, for Baltimore.
The brigs Henry, Allen : Jane and Elcy,
Murphy, and sloop Five Sisters, Bates, all
of Baltimore, were at Guadaloupe, when
the ship Commerce, (arrived at New-York
on tlje S I st ult.) sailed.
The pilot-boat schr. Rapid, and Meteor,
