The alarm begins It dissipate, and the just
feeling of onr strength, anjd resources wilt in
aiiuletime completely destroy those fatal
impressions. The receipts have been so pro-
ductive 'and the income tax promises such
happy results, that t! is certain the loan for
the service of next year "Will not exceed

PHILADELPHIA, February 16.

side as low down as Marcus Hook, in the
severe spell we had -on Friday night the
6lh instant, is now entirely tree from ice, &
yesterday morning the ship Agness, captain
Bunce, & seven or eight others sailed from
this port ; and four schooners came up as
far as the Point, where they lie wind-bound.

insured has a right to abandon when he re-
ceives information that the property insured

cover for a total loss." This decision of the
highest court of judicature of the United
States settles the point : and we learn, the

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18.
The character of Modern France has be-
come so notorious, that when we find her
"pretending to great friendship for any par-
ticular district of Europe, it may be consi-
dered as her fixed determination, to seize the
favorite spot. Thus Switzerland was, im-
mediately previous, and as a first step, to the
usurpation, declared "the first Daughter of
Liberty." We now find in Napoleon's mes-
sage to his senate, an avowal of passionate
fondness for the Ottoman empire : therefore
he will soon undertake to manage its affairs.
The French emperor may use the Porte as
an auxiliary in the destruction of Russia—
but so soon as this meditated conquest is
effected, he will have discovered some error
1ft the government of Turkey, some loving
stimulant foraffording proof of his devouring
friendship. This seems evident from a pas-
sage in a late imperial address to the senate.
" Iff this new position (says NspoJeon)we
have adapted for the invariable principle of
our conduct, to evacuate neither Berlin nor
Warsaw, nor the provinces which the force
of arms has made to fall into our hands, be-
fore the general peace be concluded, the Spa-
nish, Dutch and French colonies restored ;
before the foundation of the Ottoman power
be strengthened, and the absolute indepen-
dence of that vast empire, the first interests
of our people, irrevocably consecrated."
Thus it appears, that the smiling plains
of Turkey, and the celebrated hills of Greece
have inspired this more than Alexander
with a desire to protect the descendants of
the great heroes of ancient times. Napoleon
¦will not have the once martial spirit of Lace-
demon to contertd with ; he will combat no
Lermidas at Thermopylae, and he will rit
down at Corinth and at Sparta, occupying
all of Peloponnesus, without fearing Byzan-
tium.
^, Paris paper of Dec. 6 states, %\i:& the
imperial decree ugoti the blockade of the
British islands has been put in execution in
Holland, and all the countries of the north,
which are occupied by French troops.
Same day the following project of senatus
consultum was read : That 80,000 conscripts
shall be raised in 18 rj. They shall be called
on at periods fixed by imperial deerees. They
shall be taken from the French born from &
comprising the 1st Jan. 1787, to the gist
Dec. of the same year.
From a Correspondent,
It afforded no small gratification to the
friends of internal improvement, and to all
who delight in the increasing splendor and
prosperity of Baltimore, to witness the
promptitude with which the shares in the
different Turnpike roads were taken.. It is
to the creation of a well-furnished universal
market, and to the ease with which our
friends in the country may reach it, that this
city will eventually, and we trust speedily,
be indebted for a commercial character se-
cond to none in America. This desirable re-
sult will be a sure & an ample reward for the
untiring assiduity exhibited by our monied
men in the pursuit of honorable & lucrative
enterprise.
The shares in both the Frederick and the
R'.isterstown roads having been all taken, it
is much desired that the Commissioners
of the YORK TURNPIKE ROAD wpuld
proceed with all possible haste to open their
books. From the interest which the inha-
bitants of Baltimore county feel in the in-
tended road, no fears need be harbored of a
failure in the attempt.,Along this road must
come to our marl»t, a. large proportion of
the Lime used here, Fire-wood, Timber, and
Country Produce generally : for it will not
only pass through the richest part of Balti-
more county, but will embrace the trade of
great part of Harford, Adams, York and
Cumberland counties. It is expected that
the York Turnpike will commence at the
Hay-scales, and approach the Pennsylvania
line near a place called the Blue Ball, passing
through about 30 miles of very- interesting
and thickly settled country.
The Commissioners, by an act passed at
November session 1804, chap 51 were em-
powered to receive subscriptions to the a-
meunt of 100,000 dollars, in shares of 20
dollars ; but when 80 persons shall have sub-
scribed 40:O00 dollars (2000 shares) the plan
may go into operation.

BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
Philadelphia, Feb. 17.
By arrivals at N. York from Nantz, Am-
.sterdam & London, European intelligence
has been received to the last December,
from which we collect,
That the emperor Napoleon, having con-
centrated his forces, by recalling all the de-
tachments, that were not employed in gar-
rison duty, had advanced into Poland, and
established his headquarters at Warsaw,
where he had announced by proclamation,
his intention to restore the integrity, and
independence of Poland.
The king of Prussia had refused to ratify
the treaty negociated by Lucchesini and
Zastrow with Duroc, and is said to have
joined the Russian army, with the remnant
of his troops, amounting to 20,000 men, in
the vicinity of Warsaw, where the operati-
ons of the campaign were expected to be
continued, notwithstanding the advanced
season of the year.
The decision of the Turkish government
is stated in opposite terms in the French and
English accounts—it appears, however,
most probable that the Porte has.taken part
with France, in which case the pressure on
Russia will require tbe utmost resistance of
her power, to prevent the dismemberment
of her dominions.
The article most interesting to the Ame-
rican reader in the London papers, is the de-
claration said to have been make by lord
Grenville to a committee of merchants, that
the differences between Great-Britain and
the United States were on the point of ad-
justment.
Dispatches for government, received by
the Kingston, were yesterday forwarded
from the post-office by express. ;
It is stated from Hamburg under date of
the i7th of December, that the deputation
from that city to the emperor Napoleon had
been favorably received, and an assurance
given that the property in their bank, would
be held inviolate—The severity of the
French measures at Hamburg had greatly
relaxed.

All those chosen by the single exception
of lord Aberdee*, were supported by the
earl of Lauderdale and his friends.
None of the royal family voted except
the prince of Wales as duke of Rothsay.
A petition was presented by a person
claiming tbe titleofduke of Roxburgh ; their
lordships refused to receive or acknowledge
the claim,as it is pending in the house of
lords.
Another petition was presented by lieut.
Hume, of the navy, claiming the title of earl
of Marchmont. It was refused, & the claim-
ant .referred to the house of lords.
A letter from the American consul at
NantK, dated 20th of December, states that
he had received accounts front Paris that re-
mittances would be permitted to go from the
continent to England through the ports of
Rotterdam and Lisbon, and that it was
highly pobable that the intercourse through
Nantz would not be obstructed.
