The. following excellent REMARKS,,
On the above letter are copied from "Relf's'
Philadelphia Gazette."
gs “ Mr. Jeffarfon's letter, instead of afford
ing confutation and hope to the Weftern peo
ple, muft inevitably augment their well-ground
ed feats relative to the Miffifippi trade. It a
dopts the ridiculous idea, that the late obstruc
tions to our trade originated with, and were
finely enforced .by the intendant, without the
Wuhority or connivance of a superior authority ;
v hereas every day has difcloled additional rea
fos for believing that it is a concerted attack
CD bur national rights. With what view this
attack has beet made, is not for us to alledge ;
The tendency is too obvious, however to es
cape general notice.
“ Having expressed the opinion, that the
proceeding of the Intendant was considered as
an ifowarrantable irregularity, Mr, Jefferfon
:proceeds to Rate that measures had been pur
pitied to impress him (the Intendant) wi;h the
^orfcquences of a perseverance in such unjufti
.n,k condba. — Arid how is this done ? Truly
th ( b.vali-r D'Yrujo. who has about as much
control over the intendant as the intendant has
<vrHis Catholic Mrpfty, is requtfted to write
a ten onftrance again# his proceedings! And
the Governor General at the Havanas is also
it,virrc: to join in refining rhe violence of the in
teiHant ! — This to be sure, niuft be fatisfa&o
ty to the Weffern people, the most ignorant of
whom rout knew,thatrhefe farcical manoeuvres
will be fruitlcfs and unavailing.,
" But Mr. Jefferfon, not fatisfied with diffi
patipg the apprehenfiobs of the Weftern people,
by fibring them thrtt she Spanish Minister had
written to the Intendant, attempts to extract a
beretc from the unwarrantable proceedings of
this officer. "1c has furnifhed, howeter, a
proper occafon of urging on Spain the danger
of leaving the peace of the two countries ex
ro'rdto the caprice of any officer, and the im
, tance cf some arrangement which mall lea+e
u- mdcprrdei tof that caprice '' This is about
equal to faying, that the occasion has been tak
en tn intii act the Spurifo court in the feienCe of
e< vernnirpt. torch rhtm of their ignorance in
frying to a fibglc officer power by which the
peace of the two ccurtriesfnay be committed.
Wr/ctful cOndelcepfton ! Astonishing gene
- Hyl .
, SIR,
'fyT'OUR favor of November 30, has been &!-
I ly received—The occlusion of the port of
N Orleans by the Spaniards, which is thefub
jtd of it, was calculated to give great alarm
through the United States, apd efpcSßly the
Weftern parts. Information of it was received
here from N. Orleans on the 6th inst. and on the,
Bth.mcafurci were taken to have the proceeding
rectified. We think the evidence tolerably con
'clufive that it was not the comfequence of any
order from Europe, but merely an irregularity
of the Intendant. Measures were immediately
put in motion for duly impressing him with the
consequences of perseverance ; and the Spanish
Minifler here, expressed his entire conviction
that the prohibition was unauthorized, under
took immediately Co remonstrate to him against
it, and also to dispatch a letter to the Governor-
General, who resides at the Havanna, to inter
pose e fficacioufly and without delay. We trust
therefore, that it will be as promptly remedied
as the distance permits. It has furbifhed, how
ever, a proper occasion of urging On Spain the
danger of leaving the peace of the two coun
tries exposed to the caprice of any officer and
the importance of some arrangement which
{hall leave us independent of that caprite and
free to maintain this treaty-right, without cfof
tng the Atlantic to feck redress. For the pre
ftnt, it if the inrereft of every part of our re
public to chcriffi peace, and await a friendly
reaificaticn of the it jury : and 1 ha+e no doubt, ,
that feeing dur present fituatibn in a true point
of view, you v ill concur in inculcating a reli
ance that the Government will not be wanting
in a just interference to preserve the rights of
the nation. The uncertainty with what power
Wc may ha^e to fettle this matter ad# to its
difficulties,
I take the liberty of inelofing you a copy of
my communication tocongrefs, and of tender
ing you affurauecs of my great refpe& and con
sideration. TH. •JEFFERSON.

to talk of explanations negotiation, and caprice
with Spain, was an attempt to delude and im
pose upon the Weftern people. Spain, they
know has relinquished her right to the govern
ment of the province. They know also that in
this relinquishment, (he has abandoned her treaty
with this country ; and they cannot but perceive
in this conduct traces of a l^irit more hostile
than the mere operation of caprice.
" It appears, however, that since the date
of this letter, Mr. Jefferfon's views of the
business have been changed.—Here, he avows
an expectation of being able to " correct the
procedure,without crofting the Atlantic to feck
redreis," —But now it is thought necessary, for
" the friendly rectification of the injury, to
appoint an embassy, whrch promises nothing but
'additional ihjur, and vexation. We are igno
.rant what new information Mr Jefferfon may
have received, which coull pave produced this
changein his mode of re—ifying the injury.
If in one instance new light has produced ne&
measures, may we not hope, that the order pub
lished in this Oahette yesterday, will suspend
the contemplated million , or at lead induce the
administration to paule and reflsA on the true
circumftanc.es under which this injury has
been committed ; and the probable coorfe which
an attempt to negociate will take ! We feel war
ranted in vouching for th^authenticity of the ar
ticle aspublifhed. ft demands the most profound
consideration of our government.
" Before 'quitting Mr. Jefferfon's letter, we
cannot but notice the ambiguity whiHr^ervades
it. All the information it furnifties is accom
panied with doubt. Nothing is given with
certainty; and it concluded with a riddle.—
" The uncertainty with °mbat feeler we may
foave to fettle the matter, adds to its difficulties.”
He has but just insinuated that every thing was
in a train of accommodation— he has but just
uttered the hope, that the matter would be as
" promptly remedied as the diflance permits/'
and now demolishes the expectations he had
created by the lamentable truth, that greater
difficulties flood in the way of explanation, in
tonfequence of his not knowing who te apply to,
Spain or France I &ich gross inconsistency and
contradiction would be despised in the lowed
tranfa&ions of life —but when it appears in Ra

bn Tuefday evening fall the following unfor
tunate circumstance, we are informed,took place
in a public house at Alexandria ; A Mr. James
billion from Frederickfburg, having made too
free with wine after dinner, was prevailed upon
by some young gentlemen to mount upon aghair
and deliver his fentim^nts upon the Miffifippi
business. In the height bf his harrangufe, fomb
one pulled the chair from under him, and threw
him with his head against a table, which cut it
considerably, and put a period to his etiflence
in 16 hours. +

Resolved, That William Hill Wells, Samuel

approbation, for the zeal, fidelity,, and abilities
with which they have uniformity discharged
the trusts reposed in them by their fellow-citi

to obtain a reduction of the duties, on tea, .cof
fee,brown sugar, salt and molasses, and for their
firm and well tempered opposition to that ad pf
Congress which has violated theConftitution, &

The dishonest needy in New-York are con

of which there have been numerous jnftances.
Others have entered the windows of (lores,and

IN less than a month you will be cal

some time, has been filled with earnest
and pressing exhortations, that you
would make a thorough and almost en

Whether these exhortations come from
the persons recommended to your con
fidence. is best known to themselves.
For mflelf I am rather inclined tb be
lieve, that it is the work of a small
number whose fuperabundarit patriot
ism naturally leads them to take care
of their country brethren. They are
"afraid that the inhabitants of Grafton
County, for example, will not be able
to find out who are the persons best
qualified to represent them n Council
and in Senate ; and therefore they are
so obliging as to inform them, that
Moody Bedel and Mr. Tarlton ate

But it is perhaps of no consequence
what these gentlemen may please to
think of themselves ; of their right and
duty to take care of their distant coun
try brethren, or of the incapacity of the

proper enquiry is, what are the reasons
offered in favor of fa great a change ?
Have the men now in office forfeited
their title to public confidence ? Arid
what are the extraordinary merits of
the persons so obligingly offered to you
to supply their places ?
If all the men of particular political

Gripes. It is ray earnest wish that you
would lay them on well, next March ;
and if Moody Bedel, Mr. Tarlton, Dadd
Copp, and others, on that lift, are the
greatest patriots and stand the highett
in your esteem, it is time you bestowed
upon them some marks of your confi
dence. Some of them must be almost
tired waiting. They have been can
didates a long time.
But I apprehend you will think ic
your duty seriously to enquire concern
ing these things. You will weigh in
the scales of impartial justice, the mer
its of the reipe&ive candidates. From
the mere love of change, from the de
sire even to oblige your friends in Portf
mouth,you will not withold your fuffra
ges from men who haveferved ycu faith
fully ; you will compare the talents,
information, characters, conduct and
behaviour of the men so pretiingly urg
ed upon ycu, with the fame qualities
in the men you have heretofore honor
ed with your fuffrage', and if your cid
fiends Ihould be fobnd to loose nothing
by the comparison, you will hardly
difeard them for %w friends no better
than themselves. When ue ate well

experiments. If there are men who
are able to fei ve O' better, there are al
so those who may psby serve us much
worse. Let us then candidly examine
the reason: urged for the change in Cov
er acr; four Councillors, nine Senators
and,treafurer for Rockingham County.
These reafens, me would suppose,
would be very Griming.
There is fomethinj remarkable in
the thing, that fifteen °Ut of nineteen
men in the highest office's of the bate,
have all at once rperited degradation
the greatest which political men can
fuffer, the loss. of public efleem and
confidence. Only five have retained
their integrity,have faithfully difeharg
ed their duty and merited the fehtence,

we find the names of fohv. T. Gibran,
Oliver Peabody, Join Qrr, Seth Pafn,
Aras SDpard, Col. Sevens;Moor Rtfi,
Nathan 'Taylor, % H. M' Clary, &c &c.
It is more pleating- to repeat the lift of
the faitbfcljebn Langdon,John M'Duffee,
Jamet Flanders, and among the candi
dates, Jasnes Thornton,, Jam-r Gibson,
Robert Alcock, Droid Copp, Moody Bedel,
&c. &c.,re ycu not struck fellow citi
zens with the superior merits of this lat
ter lift ? Do you not fee at once their
superior claims to your favor ? capry
your recollection back to the times
that tried mens fouls ; are not these the
men who led the way to independence?
But let us frit attend to the reasons
why we Should not re-elect the men'
row in office, ^nd then we shall have a
clear stage for the heroes of the Gazette.
It might have beeh expelled that
the charges against the men now in of
fice, would have been particularly Rat
ed; and especially the mifehief they
have done during the last year. Judice
seems to require this. They Ihould
have an opportunity of making their
defence. Indead of this we find only
general charges. We are invited to dis
miss them from our Service and to end
them into private life with a bad name;
not because they have been convicted
of any particular mifeondud, or even
accused of any such, but by reason of
mere vague, general and indefinite sug
gestions of Something wrong as it re
fpe&s the pad, or apprehenfinns that
. they will not serve us faithfully in fu
ture : This is more cruel than the law ;
certainly it is less charitable than the
dictates of our religion.
To attend to the charges as we find
them. We are told that thej'emen are •
old tories ; by which is meant, I suppose,
that they were opposed to the indepen
dency of this country.
Is this the fad fellow-citizens ? Dotl
the present chief magistrate answer this
description ? Look at the Counsellors
and Senators now in office, who are 4
proposed to be left out : is it applicable
to any of them ? Is it applicable to any
of the federal candidates whe have been
named to supply the places of such of j
them, as are ineligible or decline a re
cleffion ? If these questions must be an
swered in the negative (and I believe
they must) why are theie things said ? b
Why are they so often repeated, and
even by persons who were themselves,
either in the cradle—in G. Brirai.%-or
in opposition to .out revolution ? Is it
not nA insult offered to your under-
Handing ? because you detest the name
of Tory, was it expe&ed that you
- never flap to enquire, whether
it was justly applied or not " This is de
grading both tb your hearts, and th
yotir underftandmgs. The trtth is that ,
this bawling abbot old tories, is bor
