Those of the above Fleet, which are to the House of FULLERTON, OLIVERSON, and Co. were the bearers of London Intelligence to the 29th of March; and, having been favoured with the Papers containing it, our extracts are as copious as possible.

We have been given to understand, that the Fleet, when at Madeira, met with the Packet from England, destined to the Brazils - and was informed, that Dantzic had been taken by storm.

A report is in circulation, that the Surinam sloop of war lately fell in, off the mouth of that river, with an American privateer - and that after exchanging broadsides, the enemy retired from the combat.

In the last page of the present number will be found, a Copy of Madison's Speech on taking the Oaths, as President of the United States - This slave of Bonaparte appears, every way worthy of his master!

The following is copied from the Surinam Gazette of the 18th instant:

PROCLAMATION,

Whereas His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in the name and behalf of His Majesty, has been pleased to nominate and appoint, under his Royal signment, John Bent, Esq. to be Receiver and manager of all and singular the Estates, Negro and other Slaves, Houses, and other Properties whatsoever, in this Colony, belonging to Persons resident in France, or in Countries under the power and controul [sic] of France; with full power and authority to him, the said John Bent, Esq. to take possession of the said Estates, Negroes and other Slaves, Houses, and other Properties whatsoever, and to ask, demand, and receive, all Rents or other sums whatsoever, due to such absent Proprietors, and to give acquittances for the same, according to the lawful form and custom of this Colony.
All Persons acting by Power of Attorney, or by any other authority, for Properties of every description, whether consisting of real (landed) Property and Slaves, of Houses, Mortgages, Contracts, Notes, Signed Accounts, Money, Merchandize, Claims, or of whatsoever nature they be, belonging to individuals residing in Holland, or elsewhere, coming within the extent and meaning of this His Royal Highness's appointment, are hereby required to make out and give in a list therefore, by the 27th inst. in triplicate, to John Bent Esq. in his capacity aforesaid, agreeably to the forms which he will furnish: and also such other documents as he shall require regarding the same, in order that an arranged statement may be prepared with as little delay as possible, to be transmitted by him to His Majesty's Government.

FOREIGN NEWS. [centered]

GREAT-BRITAIN. [centered]

March 25. - [Transcriber's note: European news not transcribed]
In some of the New York Federal papers, there is a series of articles written on the propriety of dissolving the Union, and separating the Eastern from the Southern States. The motives of the separation are, that the interests of the Eastern States are sacrificed to those of the Southern; that a majority of them are opposed to the present war, and of course are under the domination of their brethren. It is urged against the separation, that as the seceding States would be unable to support the expence of any army and navy, to maintain their independence, they would necessarily become subject to Great Britain, who would secure to herself four-fifths of the value of their industry: and that, as the intercourse between the different sections of the Union would be interrupted by the alliance with Great Britain, they would soon become colonies to the remaining United States, or of Great Britain. It appears from the strictures of the writers, that in New England meetings have been held on the subject of separation, and that this measure, or peace with Great Britain, has been openly recommended from the pulpits of many popular Preachers.

The number of American vessels, captured between the 16th of September and the 20th of February - on the American, Jamaican, and Leeward-Island Stations, amounts, to 156.

NORTH-AMERICA. [centered]

Washington, March 1. - Copy of Mr. Madison's Speech upon taking the Oath of Office, as President of the United States.
"About to add the solemnity of an oath to the obligations imposed by a second call to the station in which my country here before placed me, I find, in the presence of this respectable assembly, an opportunity of publicly repeating my profound sense of so distinguished a confidence, and of the responsibility united with it. The impressions on me are strengthened by such an evidence, that my faithful endeavours to discharge my arduous duties have been favourably estimated; and by a consideration of the momentous period at which the trust has been renewed. From the weight and magnitude now belonging to it, I should be compelled to shrink, if I had less reliance in the support of an enlightened and generous people; and feel less deeply a conviction, that the war with a powerful nation, which forms so prominent a feature in our situation, is stamped with that justice which invites the smiles of Heaven on the means of conducting it to a successful termination.
May we not cherish this sentiment without presumption, when we reflect on the characters by which this war is distinguished?
It was not declared, on the part of the United States, until it had been long made on them in reality, though not in the name -until arguments and expostulations had been exhausted - until a positive declaration had been received, that the wrongs provoking it would not be discontinued - for until this appeal could no longer be delayed, without breaking down the spirit of the nation, destroying all confidence in itself and in its political institutions, and either perpetuating a state of disgraceful suffering, or regaining, by more costly sacrifices and more severe struggles, our lost rank and respect among independent Powers.
On the issue of the war are staked our national sovereignty on the high seas, and fecundity of an important class of citizens, whose occupation give the proper value to those of every other class. Not to contend for such a stake, is to surrender our equality with other Powers on the element common to all; and to violate the sacred title which every member of the society has to its protection. I need not call into view the unlawfulness of the practice by which our mariners are forced, at the will of every cruising Officer, from their own vessels into foreign ones, nor paint the outrages inseparable from it. The proofs are in the records of each successive administration of our Government; and the cruel sufferings of that portion of the American people have found their way to every bosom not dead to the sympathies of human nature.
As the war was just in its origin, and necessary and noble in its objects, we can reflect with a proud satisfaction, that, in carrying it on, no principle of justice or honour - no usage of civilized nations - no precept of courtesy or humanity, have been infringed; - the war has been waged, on our part, with scrupulous regard to all these obligations, and in a spirit of liberality which was never surpassed.
How little has been the effect of this example on the conduct of the enemy! - They have retained, as prisoners of war, citizens of the United States not liable to be so considered under the usages of war. - They have refused to consider as prisoners of war, and threatened to punish as traitors and deserters, persons emigrating without restraint to the United States, incorporated by naturalization into our political family, and fighting under the authority of their adopted country in open and honourable war, for the maintenance of its rights and safety. Such is the avowed purpose of a Government, which is in the practice of naturalising, by thousands, citizens of other countries; that not only of permitting, but compelling them to fight its battles against their native country.
They have not, it is true, taken into their own hands the hatchet and the knife, devoted to indiscriminate massacre; but they have let loose the savages, armed with these cruel instruments; have allured them into their service and carried them to battle by their sides - eager to glut their savage thirst with the blood of the vanquished, and to finish the work of torture and death on maimed and defenceless captives; - and what was never before seen, British Commanders have extorted victory over the inconsiderable valour of our troops by presenting to the sympathy of their Chief, awaiting massacre from their savage associates.
And now we find them, in further contempt of the modes of honourable warfare, supplying the place of a conquering force by attempts to disorganise our political society - to dismember our confederated Republic. Happily, like others, these will recoil on the authors; but they make the degenerate Councils from which they emanate; and if they did not belong to a series of unexampled inconsistencies, might excite the greater wonder, as proceeding from a Government which founded the very war in which it has been so long engaged, on a charge against the disorganising and insurrectional policy of its adversary.
To render the justice of the war, on our part, the more conspicuous, the reluctance to commence it was followed by the earliest and strongest manifestations of a disposition to arrest its progress. The sword was scarcely out of its scabbard, before the enemy was apprised of the reasonable terms on which it would be re-sheathed. Still more precise advances were repeated, and have been received in a spirit forbidding every reliance not placed on the military resources of the nation.
These resources are amply sufficient to bring the war to an honourable issue. Our nation is in number, more than half that of the British Isles. It is composed of a brave, a free, a virtuous and intelligent people. Our country abounds in the necessaries, the arts and comforts of life. A general prosperity is visible in the public countenance. The means employed by the British Cabinet to undermine it, have recoiled on themselves; have given to our national faculties a more rapid developement [sic]; and, draining or diverting the precious metals from British circulation and British vaults, have poured them into those of the United States. It is a propitious consideration, that an unavoidable war should have found this seasonable facility for the contributions required to support it. When the public voice called for war, all knew and still know, that without them it could not be carried on through the period which it might last; and the patriotism, the good sense, and the manly spirit of our fellow citizens, are pledges for the cheerfulness with which they will bear each his share of the common burden. To render the war short and its success sure, animated and systematic exertions alone are necessary; and the success of our arms now may long preserve our country from the necessity of another resort to them. Already have the gallant exploits of our naval heroes proved to the world our inherent capacity to maintain our rights on one element; - if the reputation of our arms has been thrown under clouds on the other, presaging flashes of heroic enterprise assure us, that nothing is wanting to correspondent triumphs there also, but the discipline and habits which are in daily progress."
