fu Ha np'on Roads, in distress schooner
Rising Sua, Bennett, from Edemon, bound
to Boston. Oi the 20th nit. hi lat. 38- 30,
Ipnff. 71, 00, fell in with a,iJ boarded the
1
wreck of the .sch'r Philanthropist, of Batti-
niore; on board of vvhicli there was no per-
SOU whatc.er. It appears from papers fiiind
on board, that she was from Martinique,
¦with a Cargo of Siiga1 & coffee, master's name
'©rives, (.at. 38^ 30, long. 72, 00 fell in
with a wreck without a spar standing, ex-
cept the bowsprit, on which there was one
man. who hailed the vessel for assistance,
but it blowing a severe pale, could not afford
the poor fellow any. This wreck had a red
bottom and white boot top.
When we btated in our last the circnm
stance respecting the French 'seamen, w^
did not know that ttffl other seamen belong-
ing to the Uniied States'service had been
.within a few days past taken down ou board
the Pitrict, but which we are assured faorn
authority is a fact, whether by fores'or
by their own consent, we are not unform-
ed.
As much as we advocate the policy and
civility of restoring deserters, we think
tksrc is a respectful mode of proceeding in
order to obtain the end. It isnnt to be ex-
jV'o'e'J that in an American poit, a seaman
i. to be permitted to betaken, or to depart,
fioir. the service without the consent of the
government or his commanding oifi er.
Such a practice is repugnant to every sense
or propriety, and but that we are not d spo-
seJ lo use harsh expressions, we should em-
ploy much sirongerterms.
Bom: parte''s Decree.—Every account con-
iinns the determination of the emperor to
enforce this decree- The seventh aiticle
-demands more serious attention—" no ves
sel soming directly ftom England, or from
the English colonies, or having been there
since the publication of the present decree,
shall be received into any port." To dismiss
this article without observation is impossi-
ble. It. is in effect an interdiction that no
belligerent ever assumed, or any neutral e-
ver submitted to. According to this impe-
rial decree an American merchant cannot
trade with the same ship, oae voyage to En-
gland and the next to France, The ship
having been once toEngland, after the pub-
lication of this decree, is forever excluded a
French, Dutch and Spanish port. The 8;h
article confiscates vessel and cargo for evad-
ing or vi dating the 7th. Upon the same
principle we may be told next, that eveiy
American merchant who has traded to En-
gland since publication of this decree, i>
prohibited to trade to France and her depen-
dencies ev_r after.
From the Maryland Gazette.
The Fisheries for shad, herring, and
sturgeon, on the Susquehanna, and other
rivers of Maryland, (particularly those of
Patovvmacks) are becoming yearly more im-
portant to the landholders on their shores,
and some late futile attempts have been made
to innovate, upon them by placing weirs
(very destructive to the river navigation, as
they create shoals and banks of mud,) a,
well as srill fishing in the deeper water ; and
a presumed right in any individual to haul
on shore their nets between the high and
low water mark ; but this last has been uai
versally resisted by the holders of land ou
the ahores for no doubt they can legally re-
sist any trespass above the low water tide
mirks.
There are between Marylond point, in
Charles county, and the Patowmack falls,
above eighty public landings for shad and
herrings on the Maryland side of the river,
and the myriads of fish taken at them every
spring for home sale as well as for export,
has not only become an increasing source
of ealth to the landholders, but is a benign
gift of providence t 1 the public generally.
Thoseenoity odd landings are noted into
first, second and third rates, as to the value
and take ot fish. Among the first rate ones
there may be noted, (with many others,) the
landings of Messrs. M.isen, Chapman, Fen-
wick, Brent's, Bnyne's, (now col.Stewart's)
Digg's at Warburton or Piscataway Point,
(where a fort is to be built.) Lile's at the fa-
mous Tent, Marbury's, Young's & Doctor
ShaaPs, at Geesberry, &c- &c. Most of them
are fished by their owners, and some are
rented out for the fishing as high as one
thousand dollars per season ; and the Tent
landing ts said to yield about six thousand
d liars per year—avast produce ! but not to
be w ndered at, when it is well known that
several landings, as well as th se of the
Tent, Mr. Callis's, Digg's Point, col. Stew-
art's, &c. &c. have been known to take five,
six and seven thousand shad, and above two
hundred thousand herrings, at a single haul,
meeting ready sales at five to six dollars per
hundred for shad, & ten to twelve shillings
per thousand for herrings.

The valedictory essay of a " Republican"
in this evening's Gazette, may be deemed
severe, by some. The writer is well known
to the parties concerned ; and his respecta
biiitv forbids our withholding the prvilege of
animadverting on the public conduct of his
feliowrciti/.ens. As the subject is of public
importance, we offer the privilege of reply,
through the. same medium, to those who
may feel agijMC'ed.
FRENCH PACIFICATIONS.
The transter of the island of Cuba to
France was the subject of much speculation
at Havana the first of this month, and was
expected eoon to take place. Query- If
France presents Portugal to Spain, may not
the .latter transfer Cuba, a3 a grateful ac-
knowledgement ?
Captain M'Lachlan, arrived at Charleston,
informs, that the Dutch Government, rigid
ly enforcecijthe decree against (neutral vessels
touching at British ports. Several vessels
had bi en recently condemned - among which
ship Orlando, Sjiiwageft, of Philadelphia
and ship Merchant, Graves, of Newbury-
port.
Error Corrected.—Mr. Rose, who is
on his way to this country as an extraordinary
envoy from the British court, was a mem-
ber of parliament in 93, and must now be
¦¦about 37 years of age. The post says,
" Concerning his talents and acquirements,
we have heard the most favorable account.
He was the classmate and competitor of Mr<
C.inning, at school ; was concerned with
him and the constellation of wits who edit-
ed the Anti-Jacobin newspaper in London,
in 1791, and wrote some of the most ad-
mired poetical pieces in that celebrated
work. In 1798 he was deputed on a
special mission to Austria to superintend
the application of a loan. He was the pri-
vate and confidental secretary of Mr. Pitt,
and being the personal friend of Mr. Can-
ning, he must be intimately acquainted with
the sentiments of the British cabinet ; nor
can we doubt it will be found, that he is
perfectly able to represent them at Wash-
ington. We trust he will meet with res-
pectful reception to which he is, on every
account entitled, and that his mission may
be the hkibinger of peace.
