" The fate of 'TSLagusa is divided. General"-,
Marmont arrived in that city on the 14th,;
ult "immediately asseniroed" the members of
the government, and acquainted them that
the republic of Ragusa now belonged to ¦
France, and that it as well as Dalmiuia,
should be united to the Winadorn . of Italy.
This information caused great joy to all the
inhabitants, and particularly to the" commer-
cial part of them. Gen. Launston is ap-
pointed, govern f of Ragusa, and of the
whole of Albania.
T&e'disagreeabfe intelligence has reach-
ed us, that the English, v. ho for this fort-
night, have left our coast, have taken thir-
teen vessels from Cattaro, Corfu, Zants, &c.
V-iind for this port, and laden with oil,
v- i.sie raisins, and other commodities of the
Levant.—They advance as a pretence far
this violence, that since Cattaro and the re-
public of the Seven Islands have been taken
possession -of by the French, that they must
treat them as hostile territories.
The latest accounts from Constantinople
of the¦¦I4U1 erf August, assure us that negO-.
ciations.fpr peace are earnestly going on in
the camp of the Grand Vizier.

.' Admiral Collingwood is still ill thcArchi-

force-which was hitherto in the Levant, and
atlvlalu, either to renew the attack on the
Dardanelles," if the Turks did not conclude
a peace withe England, or attack the Rus-
sian fleet under the command of admiral
Sinavan, in case the emperor should mani-
fest any hostile intentions against England.

Some of the papers of this city contain
the following singular notice in German
and French :
" By much observation and persevering
reflections, I have discovered a sure and

MONTREAL, Nov. 12.
Rumours have been circulated in tewn
these fe v days past of the expectation of a
•war with the United States from a report
that contractors for the American govern-
ment are purchasing all the forage at differ-
ent, points of the lines, and where they
haye contracted for the building of tempo-
rary* barracks for cavalry,-&c. and exeicis-
frig the militia. It is not with the expecta-

Mr. Van Ranselaer, presented a petition
from Samuel White, of New York stating
that he had some years ago forwarder! aeon
sidefable sum of Money in the U. S. Mail to
Boston, which had been taken out by a Post-
Master ; that after a pursuit ef of 06 days he
had apprehended the said Post- Ma.5ter,and had
him b'-und over tor trial; that before the 'rial
came on, the post.masterhad again absconded,
in consequence of which his recognizance had
befen forfeiteds and that the money was now
in the treasury of the U '¦¦ lie therefore
prayed remuneration Referred to the Post-
aster General.
i\lr. Park presented the following resoluti-
on : ' esolved that the committee to whom
wag referred so much of the President's mes-
sage ;.s relates to our intercourse with the
I idian Tribes, be instructed to inquire whe
!er any, and, if any, what alterations are
accessary in the act for regulating our inter*
ourse with the Indian Tribes, and for pre
serving peace on our frontiers ; with leave to
report by bill or otherwise. Agreed to.
Mr. Montgomery offered the tollowing reso-
lution : Resolved, that a committee be ap-
pointidto enquire whether any, and,, if any,
what amendments arc necessary in the law tor
tne punishment of certain crimes against the
U iu-d States j with leave to report thereon
oy bill or otherwise.
Mr M said that he had been induced ot
off r this resolution by a circumstance which
had recently taken place. The ship Othello,
bound from Liverpool to Baltimore had been
intercepted by a pirate, attacked and boarded;
she was some time in the possession of the
pirate, but was afterwards abandoned. A
iiumb'T of volunteers from Baltimore had
gone in pursuit of the pirate and taken her.
Mr. Hat-den, part owner of the O'.hsUo, and
who was in her at the time she was captured,
had been examined by the judge of the dis-
trict court. He had in his hand the opinion of
ihe judge, which « as transmitted to th<» exe-
cutive of Maryland 1 audit stated that the
court had not cognizance of the offence He
!;ad also a copy o' the opinion of J. T. Chase
on the subject, which was, that the court o<
Maryland couldtnot take cognizance ol the of
fence. In ci.nsequence, the court of Calvert
cOAinty, where the prisoners had be<-n sent,
had discharged them, andtheyarenow atlargs-
He thought a power to punish such an offence
ought to be vested somo; where ; it was 01 great
importance to the city of Baltimore. A man
commuting a robbery on tne high road, he
said, could be punished by the laws of the
land ; while another may fit out a piaaroon,
and comtnitpi>.".ico with impunity.
Mr. Randolph could have no objection Uut
any law of the Untied States States should
be amended, but he could not consent that
eongress -should pass laws for the regulation
ot tiieCl.B-.-apeaUebay. If be understood thi
¦-^eMletnan, there -wera some defect in the
rial law of Maryland ; but would thai
ftu'thotf/se^eongress to legislate for that state.
H.' cuHitendfid thattiie states of Maryland and
had a concurrent jurisdiction ojev
th watctft'ol the- Ctesapeako, and no other
power ,-n e-itf'th.
v, 0 ,'pcy was in favor of the resolution.
Il'ol!' nee. commiUid, within the Chesapeake
wers to be regulated by a particular state, it
was in power 0: that :»t;i',et) comni'.t ibc peace 1
oi ihenition. If a body of militi* shoulrUmrrch
into any state, and Commit depredations there-
in, it would certainly be the duly of congress ,
t,< apply the remedy. ,
1 l.ontgomery said that he. thought it his i
duty to offer this resolution. He did not say j
that there mat a defect in the lav/ ol the
Uniied States ; but he only wished a commit- j
tee to be appointed to enquire whether the law j
was defective.
Mr. Randolph was still of opinion that this
motion was made in an improper place ; that
it. ought to be made in the legislature of Ma- i
rylaiui. The gentleman says that the offence j
had been cominited in the Chesapeake bay,
an I that the laws of congi-ens did not provide
for its punisrment—wry true -, because con-
gress had no jurisdiction over the Chesapeake
bay.
Mr- IC'-y thought it improper in congress to
legislate upon this subject, if indeed they bad
the power Certainly the le .islature of Mary
land bad power ro legislate upon it. Thai state
h:\c\jurincrly a gen -viU court, with power to
tike cognizance of all offences committed
within the jurisdiction of the state ; but the
legislature h.td About four yer.rs ag8 passed a
law annihilating that court, and distributing is
powers among the diff rent count- courts i
tie believed the gentle man iVoin Maryland
(Mr- Montgomer.) was well acquainted w'th
that law !! They hud thus deprived theraseUea
of the power of taking cognizance of the of-
fence here complained of, and they now applied
to congress to remedy the evil
Mr Mor.tgom-ry-read the opinions above
alluded to ;' when the question was taken on
the resolution, and it was agreed to without a
division. A committee of 7 members ordered
to be appointed for the purpose.
The bill to.exVe.nd the right of suffrage in the
Mlssicsippi Territory, and lor other purposes,
was reai! the third time ; and, after -about an
hour's discussion, the question was taken by-
ayes and noes, and the bill passed ; a\es 73,
rn.es 55.
Tne bill authorising the erection of a bridge
o> er the Potomac was a third time read and
passed) ayes 85, noes 4-3.
The house went iut.o committee o' the whole
on the resolutions offered by Mr, Randolph
yesterday.
Mr. R ndolph said that upon the subject of
the first resolution he hoptd there were but
one sentiment in the house, as he was conli
dent there was but one sentiment in the nation.
r_Mr. R. was interrupted b\ the chairman, for
the purpose of calling the house to order, &
then told him he might proceed.] Mr. R.
said be believed there was no ooeasionto pro-
ceed, beeause there could be no occasion for
any mem er to address a deliberative body,
which was unwiUi.ig to listen to him. It was
a m icking of legislation ; he had often been
astonished at the pe severance of those who
would persist in boring the hruse with obser-
vations which it was not d-sposed to hear.
But, he asked, who enjoyed the bsnefits of
the carrying trade, about whu h the nation
was two years ago to be plunged in war i Men
