Extract of a letter from a commercial house
in Liverpool, to another in Philadelphia,
dated HOth March.
" We have the pleasure to advise you that
official dispatches have been received by our
government from St. Petersburg, with the
information of an important battle having
been fought between the Russians and the
French, on the 7th and 8th of February,
at Eylau, in which the latter were defeated,
with the loss of about 15,000 men, 12 stand
of colors and several pieces of cannon.
" In consequence of this favorable intelli-
gence, about 5000 bags of cotton have been
sold in this market at an advance of from
l-2d. to three farthings per lb. upon former
pikes—a similar advance has also taken
place in London ; and as the market is now
bare of good cotton, the holders are expect-
iiisj a further advance which is likely to
take place, unless the arrivals during this
and the ensuing month should be unusually
heavy.
" There have been some inquiries for coffee
within these few days ; and better prices
have been obtained for such small parcels as
have been sold, but the holders are looking
for a further advance, and are not disposed
to sell at present.
" Several purchases have been made in to-
baccos for the Russian and Danish markets,
and prices of the low kinds have been im-
proved a little.
" Large sales of American wheat have
been made to speculators at advanced prices.
" A proclamation has been issued ty our
government, stating, that in consequence
of the present situation of the enemy upon
the continent, which enables him to com*
mati-fl fh? navigation of the r'vers Elb?,
Weser and Elms, it is judged expedient to
re-establish the most rigorous blockade at
the entrance of these rivers."
GOVERNOR PENtf.
This respectable old gentleman, a few
days since, arrived in the United Slates, for
the purpose, as we understand, of transact-
ing some private business. No sooner is this
known, than he is assailed in the most wan-
ton and scurrilous manner in the Aurora.
It is said that " the old tories have actually
commenced a canvass in favor of their old
^governor, who they insist came out on pur-
pose to succeed his present majesty of the
clodhoppers." " The old tor idrare rubbing
up their affirmations and oaths, preparatory
to renewing to governor Penn their allegi-
ance to George III." " Governor Penn's
leveesjjwill resemble a bishop's confirmation,
or the pope's granting absolution," &c. The
editor of the Aurora was not in this country
until long since oar revolution ;_but he has
probably heard that when our opposition
commenced to the unconstitutional exactions
of the British government, governor Penn
was associated with the venerable patriots of
the day, in laying the foundation for an in-
dependent government of laws in America.
Be was appointed bycon«ress to convey to
the king the last remonstrance which was
made against the oppressive measures .adopt-
ed by the British court. Upon his arrival in
England, he used all his influence there to
promote the cause in which Washington,
and Adams, and Hamilton, and King, and
Pinckney, and the other old tories who at-
chieved our revolution, were laboring lure.
To have kept such company, and to have
enjoyed the esteem and respect of such men,
is a sufficient reason_for his being assailed
by the Aurora. [V. 6". Gua.]
One Mr. Jackson, " who was an eminent
cannon founder in Ireland, and brought with
him several hundred thousand dollars to the
United States" has procured an '• original
letter, with Mr. King's own proper signa-
ture affixed"—and the Citizen has given us
a copy.
If any thing were wanting to heighten
the esteem of the American people, for
their long-tried servant at home, and faith-
ful representative abroad, this letter might
be hailed as supplying it. Standing as Mr.
King does, it only aiiords fresh argument
for his title to our respect ; but, even this,
at a moment in which he is reviled, can be
no unacceptable auxilary. We have all rea-
son therefore, to thank Mr. Jackson and
the rest, for their act, if not for their mo-
tive. This is the letter, which it appears
from its terms, is an answer to a request
from this man that Mr. King would not op.
pose his coming to America.
From the New-York Evening Post.
" Brighton, August 28, 1797.
" Si*,
" I ought to inform you, that I really have
no authority to give or refuse permission to
you or any other foreigner to go to the U.
States ; the admission and residence of stran-
gers in that country being a matter that by
a late law exclusively belongs to the presi-
dent. It is true that the governmentof this
country, in the course of last year, in conse-
quence of my interference, gave me an as-
surance, that a particular description of per-
sons in Ireland, who it was understood were
going to the United States, should not pro
cCed without our consent. This restraint
Would doubtless be withdrawn in favor of in-
dividuals against whose emigration I should
not object; and I conclude, that it is upon
this supposition that you have taken the
trouble to communicate to me your desire tc
settle and reside in the United States. With-
out presuming to form- an opinion on the
subject of the late disturbances in Ireland, I
entertain a distinct one in relation to the pc -
litical situation of my own country. In
common with others, we have felt the in-
fluence of the changes that have successively
taken place in France, and unfortunately a
portion of our inhabitants has erroneously
supposed that our political institutions, as
well as our national policy, might be improv
ed by a close imitation ef the models of
France. This opinion, the propagation of
which was made the duty and became the
chief employment of the French ageii'.s re-
sident among us, created a more considerable
division among our people, and required a
greater watchfulness and activity from the
government than could beforehand have been
apprehended. I am sorry to makethe remark,
and shall stand in need of your candor in
doing so, that a large proportion of the emi-
grants fVoin Ireland, and especially in our
middle states, has upon this occasion, ar-
ranged itself on the side of the malcontents.
I ought to except from this remark most of
the enlightened and well-educated Irishmen
who reside among us, and with a few ex-
ceptions I might confine it to the indigent
and illiterate, who, entertaining an attach-
ment to freedom, are unable justly to appre-
ciate those salutary restraints without which
it degenerates into- anarchy. It would be
injuctice to say that the Irish emigrants are
more national than those of other countries,
yet being a numerous though a very minor
portion of our population, they are capable,
from causes it is needless now to explain,
of being generally brought to act in concert,
and under artful leaders may be, as they have
been, enlisted in mischievous combinations
against our government. This view leads
me to state to you without reserve the hesi-
tation that I have felt in your case : on the
one hand, we cannot object to the acquisi-
tion of inhabitants from abroad, possessing
capital and skill in a branc_ of business that
with due caution, may without risk or diffi-
culty, and with public as well as private ad-
vantage, be established among us ; but on
the other hand, if the opinions of such in-
habitants are likely to throw them into the
mass of malcontents, their fortune, skill and
consequent influence would make them ten-
fold more dangerous, and they might be-
come a disadvantage instead of a benefit to
our country. You must be sensible that I
possess no sufficient means of forming an
opinion respecting your sentiments ; but
the motives which led me to interfere with
your government to restrain the emigration
of the persons above alluded to, oblige me to
observe a due caution on the present occa-
sion : at the same time I desire not to act
with illiberality, and should be unwilling to
bring upon my country the slightest impu-
tation of inhospitality. What Mr. Wilson
has written, so far as it gees, is satisfactory ;
and o# the whole I have concluded, after this
»iyr#served comjnupicalien, which I hppe
¦wi'1 be n ce?ven with the same cnnctoi' S31t it
made, to inform you, authorising you cl
make use of the information, that I with-
draw every objection that may be supposed
to stand in tUe way of yom being petumttd
i the United States ; adding only my
earnest wish that you-uiay carry witn y. it
an unbiassed mmd, may find the state of ti"^
country, as I believe you will, favorable fu
your vu-ws of business, and its government
deserving your attachment.
" I must beg your excuse for the great
delay that has occurred in sending you this
answer, which I assure you has arisen from
ot her causes than the want of due respect to
your letters.
" With great consideration,
" I have the honor to be, sir,
" Your most obedient servant,
" RUFUS KING."
LONDON, March 17.
Letters have been received i'roni a person
of consideration at St. Petersburg, which
contain some further particulars of the bat-
tie of Eylau than have yet been published in
this country. Bonaparte's guards, it is
known, were amongst the troops that at-
tacked the centre of the Russians. They
went into battle about 1200 strong, and only .
one officer autj thirteen men remained after
the action. TheFieuch reserve was ordered
to advance to the attack of the Russian cen-
tre : they refused and were ordered to "he
tired upon'hj one of the French divisions.
They returned the are, and several were
killed on both sides.
Extract of a letter tiom Centre county,
Pennsylvania, dated April 13, 1807.
On the night of the 30th and the forenoon
of the 31st March fell in this county tile
greatest quantity of snow remembered by
the oldest persons here. It appears by ac-
tual measurement in different parts of Nit-
ta.iy valley, that toward the evening
of 31st, the snow vyas, on an average, from
three feet to three feet six inches deep in the
valley, and on the mountains it is certainly
twice that depth. It continued to free£«
j and blow very keen untd the 5th of thi-i
month ; since then it has been a gr&dual
thaw. From the quantity of snow- on tin;
ground, we apprehended a sweeping flood,
but Providence has ordered it otherwise.

The Rev. Gideon __.\o'.<.burn, Of"the state
of Tennessee, is now in tills city, with the
view of sol citing donation* for carrying on
a plan of instruction and civilization a'niorg
the Cherokee Indians. He has been for se-
veral years engaged in pursuing this im-
portant object; and the talents, piety, seh-
dtniai and zeal which he has manifested ia
the pursuit, have commanded the attention
and gained the esteem, not only of his im-
mediate acquaintances, but also of a larj>e
portion of the south.'rn country. He h;s
established two flourishing Indian schools in
the •. nerokt-e nation, containing BOschpWrSj
who are ail ied, clothed and'instructed by
his exertions. The expellee has been sun-
ported principally by charitable contributioiff,
solicited by himself, and most faithfully and
economically applied. The governor of Ten-
nessee, and other gentlemen of influence in
t'nat'state, fn m whom Mr. Blacrburn brings
the most ample testimonials, fully concur
with him in opinion, that these schools may
be greatly extended, and others of a similar.
kind, established, if the funds necessary for
the purpose can be obtained. The prOgttS*
of the Indian children already exceed.- tile
most sanguine expectations of the friends to
the undertaking ; and, in the . opinion of
good judges on the spot, there is now a bet-
ter prospect than was ever before presented,
if Mr. Blackburn should be enabled to extend
and execute his plan, that the Cherokee In-
dians will become, in a i'ew years, a civilized
and Christian nation. Under these impres-
sions, we the subscribers do heartily recom-
mend Mr. Blackburn's applications for pe-
cuniary aid to the attention and encourage-
ment of all charitable and welldisposed per-
sons to whom they may be made.

ADVANTAGES OF
CHARRING WATER OSKS, &c.
" Captain Kruscustern, who commanded
the Russian squadron in 1803, ha3 sent aa
account home of his having proved in the-
most satisfactory manlier, the great efficacy
which the operation of charring has to pre-
serve water perfectly sweet at sea. He had
60 charred, more deeply than us(ual, before
he sailed, and, during his stay at the Brazils,
had the greatest part of hi3 casks burneu ia
the inside ; the water in them was constantly
found to be good during the whole of the
passage to tiie Isle of Washington : At Ja-
pan he again burned the inside of the casks,
which preserved the water quite pure dur-
ing a seven weeks passage from thence ti
Kamschatka. The captain declares, that,
by this means, the water was ' constantly
pure, and as good as that from the best
springs.' He also took care that the casks
should never be filled with sea water, as is
usual, to save the trouble of shifting the
ballast, because this tends to hasten the cor-
ruption of the fresh water afterward put
into1 them.
" The charting1 operates both by the anti-
septic properties of the charcoal, and in pre-
venting- the solution of the attractive paist of
the wood-
" Charring is.recommended for wine casks
also, andcasks which are to contain liquors."
