Extract of a letter from London, dated
November 18, 1809.
* Agreeable to my promise, on my arrival
ia London, to ascertain the fact, and to
transmit to you all the information touching
the origin ut a report which was circulated
with much industry through the American
prints—l now assure you that Aaron Barr
fli ordered out of the Kingdom ; but the
circumstance of coupling General Miran
da with him has been, no doubt, with a ma
licious intent to Injure the honest fame of
that worthy patriot. Instead of being sent
out of the country, the General resides
here in superb style, the friend and com
panion of the best men in thejninistry.**-
Indeed it is the opinion of the best informl
- that had his project of organisation
affd reform been adopted, with regard to
South-America, in lieu of the disastrous
attempts to support the miserable cause of
a corrupt and impotent dynasty, it would
have been not only more popular, but of
far more advantage to Great-Bt itain ; even
the deluded followers of Ferdinand ac

* to carry to Fontainbleau the homage of his
congratulations at the successful issue of
Che contest against Austria.—The General
was most favourably received—he was
honoured with a private conference, and a
vessel was Immediately ordered to be got
ready to carry despatches to the American
government.—-By some it is said that the
French government has presented to Gene
ral Armstrong the project of a treaty be
tween the two countries—by others it is as
serted, that the invitation made to America
is, to form an alliance with France. Russia,
Sweden, and Denmark, to be called, if she
accede to it, the Quintuple alliance, for
the purpose of achieving what Bonaparte
styles “ the freedom of the seas.”—The

The King of Saxony, Duke of Baden,

ined, in the hopes that the British Empire
nay be ruined also. General Armstrong,
who was to have left France in the begin
ning of October, but who remains still at
expectation that she will accede to it has
been for some time strongly circulated at
Paris, and indeed it should seem as if the
negotiation between the American govern-
p
I have discoursed with well informed
gentlemen of all parties, both merchants
and officers of government, who believe
that General Miranda’s views of govern
ment for South-America, will be yet car
ried into complete operation. They deem
the cause of Spain irretrievable ! That her
sun is set forever! And that nothing, at
this moment, could tend more to counter
act Napoleon’s scheme at universal empire
than that of erecting' the delightful re
gions of South-America into independent
governments. Should Britain be so fortu
nate as to take the lead in an enterprise
of such vast moment to herself, and to the
liberties of the world, her fleets would be
amply sufficient to protect the sea-board,
while the inhabitants who have so long
sighed for independence, might organize
for themselves, a government suited to the
genius of its citizens ; and if agriculture,
commerce, and the arts of peace should
meat with that protection, which, doubt
less, in all well regulated communities are
of primary importance, those splendid re
gions, now the haunt of misery and the
abode of wretchedness, would, under just
laws and wholesome regulations, exhibit,
in a few years, to an admiring world, the
transcendent advantages resulting from in
dependence and self-government.’’

about 14 vessels had engaged to goto Bar

FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1810.
The President’s Message, published in
our paper of to-day, has given rise to a
variety of political apeoolatfaM, It is asked
what symptoms of hostility have been re
cently discovered to justify a Call from the
President 20,000, in addition to the
100,000 men already voted by Congress.—
Fortunately the President has himself sat
isfied our inquiries on this subject, by the
concluding paragraph of his Message.
*• At a period presenting features in tht
conduct of foreign powers towards the Uni
ted States, which impose on them the ne
cessity of precautionary measures, involv
ing expense, it is a happy consideration
that such is the solid state of the publick
credit, that reliance rpay be made for re
sorting to it in a convenient form, and to
an adequate amount."
Commerce having been by the Berlin
Decrees, the Orders in Council, aided and
enforced by our own embargo and non-im
portation acts, almost exterminated from
the ocean, and with it the revenue of the
United States likewise, some mode of re
plenishing the treasury must be resorted
to. A land tax is at present out of the
question, the party now in power have
clamoured so loudly against that specirs of
taxation, and planted themselves into of
fice by it, and raised withal such a fever of
jealobsy about it, that a bare recommenda
tion of this measure would drive these of
ficial patriots into the shades of retirement-
It thcrefova becomes highly expedient and
politick, to raise, an alarm and apprehen
sion by way of reconciling us to a loan,
which is mentioned in the following deli
cafe terms. “It is a happy consideration
that such ia the solid state of the publick
credit, that reliance may be made for re
sorting to it in a convenient form, and to an
adequate amount.” We venture seriously
to question whether any alarm from abroad
renders the raising of such a force so ne
cessary as the low and degraded state of
our own treasury. Had the fifteen millions
expended in the purchase of the swymps
of Louisiana, been safely deposited in the
treasury now, we very much doubt wheth
er such an armament as that recommend
ed by the President would have been made
the subject of a message. President Jeffer
son told us in his inaugural address, that
“ we possessed land enough for the thou
sandth and thousandth generation,” and
yet he expended fifteen millions in the pur
chase of more land than was necessary, ac
cording to his own statement, to satisfy twn
thousand generations to come. Colonel Du
ane, who since Congress have bespangled
his shoulders with an epaulette, dreams of
nothing but war, joins in the farce, and
vociferates through the lungs of his Aurora,
*To your tknts.” The President’s
man Giles scorning to be outdone in scur
•ility, even by Duane, offers a set of resolu
tions which one of his own party had the
honesty to declare, ” contained such lan
guage as no one private gentleman dared
hold towards another.” These under ac
tors in the farce have, however, played
their parts well.—Mr. Smith discovers a
lie in a despatch, where no one else can
find one.—-Giles has made Congress swear
to the fact.—Duane follows the scent, aud
blusters about immediate blood-shed and
slaughter, until the whole is wound up
with this ” that such is the
solid state of the publick credit, that re
liance may be made for resorting to it in
a convenient form, and to an adequate
amount.” From hence we may learn what
President Jefferson means by an overflow
ing treasury ; a thing is said by him to
overflow, when there is nothing remaining
in the bottom.
•• The President's Message is inclosed.
It pussies the most profound politicians
here, and i< in fact, a masterpiece of the
occult silence. However, many of the
Ministerials who pretend to undersvand it
declare it to be a War Menage. But, In

I* .it not the duty of those who pretend
they ar* the servant* of the people to give
them such information ? WHI nht the peo
ple demand it, in a voice which will be lr
rtaistible i These are important questions,
demanding explicit answer*. If a war in in
dispensably necessary to itapport .the hon
our and independence, and retain or regain
the right* of the coautry; why doe* not the
President any so in open and bold larffcuage,
not drive at it In the cabalistical and enig
matical language of the Message, and in
his hocuepocue ainbi-dexterou* manoeuvres
of the Cabinet! If sueh a war i» unavoida
ble, and the people are that it
so is, and that they, can attain the objects
desired by going to war, they will, to a
man, acquiesce in and support it. But if in
stead of this, they are to receive no other
information than what this War Meetage
"gontains, they will raise their united voices
against it ? It is, however, said, that all
this clangor i> merely intended as an apo
logy for a large Loan of money, which the
exhausted state bf the Treasury, occasion
ed by the embargo measures and other
miscalculations, has made necessary. If
this be the object, would not the policy
have been more worthy the government,
to have merely called for the Loan to meet
the exigencies of the government ? The
credit gf the country is unquestionably high,
and money enough can be obtained; but
that the fact is so, is incontrovertible evi
dence of the great degree of prosperity
which the nation has enjoyed, and by wise
councils could now enjoy; and which pros
perity the measures of every day, are put
ing at hazard, and will destroy.
“If we are to have war, it will be
against England; or the present powers
that be, will loose their places. As the
Almanack makers say, look out for specks
of war about these day*.”— Evening Poet.
