Captain Kelly of the ship Pittsburg arri-
ved at Philadelphia from Tonnin^en, in-
forms that the only reports current were,
that by a supplementary article between Bo-
naparte and the emperor of, Russia, princ?
Const;, nine was to be declared king of Po-
land ; and that Bouapaate had expressed his
determination, of" taking under his pro-
tection" the Danish fleet.
' The Russians remark that the 27th - of
June, (Russian style) 9ih July, of the G e-
govian calender, the clay of" the ratification
of the treaty of peace, is the anniversary of
the battle of Pultawa. which was so glori-
ous and which procured so many advanta-
ges to trie Russian euioire. They consider
this a favorable omen for the continuance of
the peace and friendship which has just
been establisned between these two great
empires.
Ccmmunicutian.
{p" We understand that a club of the
gentlemen who generally occupy the front
seats of the Pit, have promised to furnish
their observations to a printer of this city>
and that the public may expect a regular
Journal of the Theatre, with criticisms on
the performances of each night. The work
is to be entitled « THE CRITIC," and is
to be published every Saturday. Besides a
Journal of our own stage, it will we under
siai d, also contain Theatrical Intelli-
gence from others, criticisms on popular
plays, novels, &c. new prologues and epi-
logues, miscellaneous poetry, &c. &c.
BRITISH TREATY.
An intereslinrr pamphlet made its appear-
ance yesterday, entitled " The British Trea-
ty," dedicated " to those Members "f Con
ft ss who hive the sen-e to perceive and
th; .-pirit l" "I'sueihe vs or creeks of his
jnijesiy's said territories,nor i ito such parts
of the I'ver* in his raajesty'.s said territories
as are between the mouth th-ieof and the
highest pori f entry from the sea, exceot in
small vessels trad ng bona fide between Mon-
treal and Quebec, under such regulations as
shall he- cj'ablished to prevent the possibili-
ty of fraud in this respect: nor to the ad-
mission of British vesse's from the sta into
the rivers of the Uniied S'a'es beyond the
highest ports of entry !oi foreign vessels
from the sea. The river Mi^sisipp- snail,
ho evtr, according to the treaty of peace,
be entirely upen to both parries ; and it is
fmiher agreed that all the ports and places
on us eastern side, to whichsoever ;f the
parties bel Bging, may freely be resorted to
and used by both parties, in as ample a man-
ner as any of the At'antic ports rplaces of
the United States, or any ot the ports or
places of his majesty in Great-Britain.'
The fourth article after mentioning that
' it is uncertain whethar the Missisisippi
ext. ds so far to the northward as to be in-
t:.s cted by a line to be drawn due west
from the Lake of the; Woods, in the man-
ner inen'ioned in the treaty of peace,' pro-
vile^ 'for a joint survey.of the northern part
of that river ;' and agrees, that if on the re-
sole of such survey it should appear that
the said river would not be intersected by
such a line,' the parties will regulate the
boundary in that quarter by amicable nego-
ciati n.
The fifih article, after mentioning that
* doubts had arisen what river was truly in-
tended under the name of the River St.
Croix,' provides for ascertaining that river,
nd the latitude and longitude of its mouth
nd s nirce.
The sixth, seventh andeighth articles have
heen executed.
The ninth provides for persons holding
lands in the dominions of one of. the parties
•who are subjects or citizens of the other;
and the tenth is astipulation in favor of mo-
ral honesty, viz that neither party shall se-
quester or confiscate debts or property in the
funds, &c.
The third article of the new treaty pro-
vider for and regulates commerce between
the United States and the British East In-
dies, in the same term • as the thirteenth ar-
ticle of the old treaty, except that the words,
and sailing direct from the ports of the said
states are inserted in the first clause, which
now runs thus : " His majesty consents
that the vessels belonging to the citizens of
the U- States of America, and sailing di-
rect from ports of the said States, shall be
admitted and hospitably received in all the
sea-ports and harb urs of the British territo-
ries in the East-Indies," &c.
The fourth article of the new treaty is
the same as the fourteenth of the old one,
and stipulates for a general liberty of trade
between the U. States and the British do-
minions in Europe.
The fifth article -of the new treaty is the
same ag the fifteenth of the old one (regu-
lating the duties on .ships and merchandize)
with two exeeptions : The first reserves tq
the United States the right previously re-
served to Great-Britain, of imposing a ton-
nage duty equal to what shall be imp sgd
by the ther party. The second is made by
substituting a new clause for the reservation
formerly made by Great Britain, of the right
of imposing on American vessels entering
into the British ports in Europe, such duty
as may be adequate to countervail the differ-
ence of duty no v payable on the importati-
on of. Europeqn and Asiatic goods when
imported into the United States in British
or in American vesssels' Instead of this the
following words make part of the new arti-
cle. ' And in the trade of the two nations
with each other, the same duties on expor-
tation or importation of goods or merchand-
ize shall be imposed, ana the same draw-
backs and bounties allowed in either coun-
whether the exportation or importation shall
be in British or American vessels."
The sixth article of the new treaty states
that the parties cannot agree aHout our trade
to the British West-Indies ; but that * while
they will attempt an amicable agreement,
bath may exercise their existing rights.'
The seventh of this, like the sixteenth of
the other treaty, provides for the appoint-
ment of consuls, See.
The eighth of this, like the seventeenth
of the other, provides for speedy decision
on the capture and detention of vessels sus-
pected of carrying enemy's goods or contra-
band of var. There is added a promise
on the part of Great Britain, that hereafter
indemnification shall be granted for unjust
seizure, for detention and vexation.
The ninth article is the same as the 18th
of the old treaty (;espectiug contraband),
only that tar and pitch are excepted from
the catalogue, unless when going to a place
of naval equipment.
The tenth article is the same as the eigh-
teenth of the old (respecting Blockade) with
the addition, that passengers not in th« mi-
litary service ot an enemy shall not be taken
and made prisoners.
By the eleventh article, citizens of the
United States may carry European goods
to the colonies of enemies of Great Britain
(from the ports ot the United States,) pr -
vided that both vessel and cargo be bona
fide American property, that the roods
shall have been unladen withi 1 the United
Stales, and (that in additi n to tha part of
tie duly already reserved fiom the drawback
on exportation) the further sum of one per-
C"it. ad valorem 0.1 such goods shall be paid.
They may expo't from the United Slates to
Eur pe >fe produce of col nie* oi t;ie e-
nem e of G e.u-Britain, provided they be-
in jfl- itral property, shall have been unlad
l.iden as before, and that two per cent, ad
valorem be paid n exportation in addition
to -hat is reserved on the drawback. Al-
ter tiie expiration of the treaty, a',1 antece-
dent r.^hts on these subjects are Ij revive.
The twe'fth article extends to ships of
Giea. Britain, and ot alt who shall adopt
the same regulation, the protection ot oui
neutrality frmn a marine league to five
mile., from ur shore.
The thirteenth article is substantially the
same as the nineteetb of the old treaty, re-
guiaing privateers.
The tonrteenth is the same as the twenti-
eth of the old treaty: respecting pirates.
The fifteenth article of this treaty, like
the twenty first of the other, prohibits the
subjects or citizens of one p-.rty, to accept
commissions from enemies of the other, and
to commit acts of hostility.
The sixteenth, like the twenty-second of
the other, forbids reprisals before a demand
of satisfaclion.
The seventeenth is the same as the twen-
ty-third of the old treaty, which, alter stipu-
lating that ' the ships of war of each of the
contracting parties shall at all times be hos-
pitably received in the ports of the other,'
provides that American vessels driven by
• stress of weather^ danger of enemies or
o'her misfortune,' to seek shelter, shall be
received in ports into which such vessels
could nut ordinarily claim to be admitted.
This stipulation is now made reciprocal.
The eighteenth article, like the twenty-
fourth of the old treaty, prohibits the arma-
ment of privateers belonging to the enemies
ot either, and the sale of their prfzes in potts
of the other party.
The nineteenth is the same as the twenty-
fifth of the old treaty, permitting ships of
war to bring in their prizes and take them
away again without payment of duties, and
prohibit,ng the entry of ships of the ene-
mies of ether party, which shall have made
prize unless driven by stress of weather ; in
which case they are to depart as soon as
possible.
The twentieth is the same as the twenty-
sixth of the old treaty, providing for mer-
chants and cithers in one country when war
breaks out ith the other.
The twenty first of this, like the twenty-
seventh of the other, relates to giving up
persons charged with murder or forgery.
The t enty.sec nd is anew article res-
pecting ship wrecks, and promising humane
treatment.
The twenty-third secures to each the
rights of the most favoured nation, and de-
clares that • all treaties hereafter made by ei-
ther with any nation, shall ipso facto be
extended in all their favourable operations
to the other.*
The twenty-fourth engages to join in a-
bolishing the slave trade.
The twenty-fifth contains the stipulation
that this treaty is not to interfere with ante-
cedent engagements. And,
The twenty-sixth limits the duration to.
ten years from the exchange of ratifications.
It is dated the 31st December, 1806 ; but
previous to the signature two notes we're
give* by the British to the American com-
missioners. The first keeps open for future
discussion a claim pf Britain hot to pay
more 011 goods sent from Canada or New-
Brunswick, into the territories of the Unit-
ed States, than is paid on the importation of
such goods in Ainericari.ships. . The second
note declares that the king of Great-Britain
has directed his commissioners before they
sign the treaty, to daliver that bote, in or-
der that a fair understanding may be had by
all parties of his majesty's views, in conse-
quence of the blockading decree, to which
the attention of the American commission-
ers is invited. The decree sa recent in point
of time, and so novel and monstrous in
substance, that his majesty is at a loss to
calculate on events ; but supposing, howe-
ver, that it will be formally abandoned or
totally relinquished by Bonaparte, or in case
be is mistaken in that supposition, he rests
with confidence on the good sense of the
government of the United States, that they
will not submit to an innovation so destruc-
tive of the rights of neutral commerce.—
Should he, however, be mistaken in ail these
points, and the enemy should actually carry
into execution his threats, and neutral nati-
ons acquiesce in such usurpation, he may
probably, though reluctantly, be obliged to
retaliate. The treaty secures to the United
States so many privileges of neutral com-
merce, that at a time when his majesty and
all neutral nations are threatened with such
extension ©f belligerent pretensions from
his enemies, without any explanation from
the United States what they will do in case
Bonaparte attempts to force on them his de-
cree, his majesty must reserve to himself to
act according to contingencies in that parti-
cular, the signing of the treaty notwith-
standing. And as the distance of the Ame-
rican commissioners from their government
renders a previous explanation impossible'
his majesty authorises his commissioners to
finish the tieaty. This is done under the
fullest persuasion, that before the treaty re-
turns to Europe from America ratified, time
will discover the formal abandonment or
tacit relinquishment of the enemy of his
pretensions ; or in case that should not take
place, that the government of the United
States, by their conducr or assurances will
secure his majesty that they will not submit
to i.movatiofls so destructive ofinaritime
rights. But in case Bonaparte enforces his
decree according to its tenor, and if neither
by he assurances nor conduct of vmerica, a
disposition is shown to oppose it, his majes_
ty wishes it to be fairly and clearly under,
stood, that lie will not consider himself bound
by the signature of his commissioners to ra-
tify ; or in case he ratines, he will not and
cannot be precluded from adopting such
measures as may seem necessary for coun-
teracting the designs of his enemy, whene-
ver they shall occur, and be of such an ex-
traordinary nature as to require extraordinary
remedies.'
