fire in the present instance are disposed
only to report what the surmises and ru-
Hiuurs now afloat are, rather than adopt or
express an opinion of either of them.
The rumour now moot predominant is,
that Mr. Gallatin’s journey to the Western
country is preparatory to Ilia resignation ;
and along with this goes the report that Mr.
Sin die is U> resign, in order to afford an
opportunity fur Mr. Gallatin to come into
Congress, and with Mr. Randolph to regu
late affairs io their own way. This rumour
we give as we got it, anti leave it to time to
be proved real or unreal, or only medi
tated.
“ Another report is, that Mr. Gallatin
has made an ultimatum, that he shall be
Secretary of State,/or retire altogether.—
This report we do not place any reliance
upon, ‘because we know the true source of
Mr. Gallatin’s reports and other proceed
ings to embarrass the government, was his
knowledge, that when the choice of Secre
tary of S ate was to be made, that had he
suffered his name to be put up, he could
have obtained only five votes, and three of
these in open hostility t • the administra
tion.” <
BOSTON, June 19.
FROM PORTUGAL.
Captain Paine, who arrived on Saturday
from Lisbon, left that city on the 9th of
May* The French had not entered the
Portuguese territorj ; and the inhabitants
were in excellent spirits, and > inguine in
their expectations of not giving the grand
king maker the trouble of appointing them
a master. The Regency had adopted the*
beat measures for organizing the whole
population, as (ar as practicable, in milita
ry Ixxlies. for the defence of their country;
and tfie people cbeet fully conformed to the
measures adopted. The native troops bad
become very respectable for their num
bers, appearance and discipline. In Muy,
6000 British troop" nsprehed from Lisbon
to the frontiers—many remained in the ci
ty, and the harbour was fuil of men of war.
VroviMons were scarce and high, and the
markets appealed to be still rising. An
embargo had been laid on Poituguese ves
sels, in consequence of five Algerine crui
sers coining out of the Straits. At Cadiz
affairs remained as at the previous dates.
Markets for piovismns are also good theic.

To the Editoh.—l send you a small
file of Spanish official gazettes to the 13th

later. I shall only A *l f ,om the ra P’ d
progress and great strength of the for
tifications of Cadiz—the powerful land and
mariiime force there—consisting of 20,000
effective Spaniards, 10,000 volunteers of
the city, 10,000 British troops, 15 ships of
the line, and the many advantages it de
rives from its insular situation, the city
may be considered as perfectly safe for a
long time.

delineated the views and Conduct of the
tyrant of France 'towaids the United
States ; and who they have been who have
traitorously apologised for his conduct or
attempted to gloss it over with deception
and lies.”
The Independent American, published
at Georgetown, (District of Columbia,)
after giving the intelligence received by
'the John Adams, says—
•• We can assure our readers that the
administration have abandoned all hope of
an adjustment with France, the disposition
of Bonaparte becoming more and more de
cidedly and openly and outrageously inimi
cal towards us.
“ We are not disposed wildly to hazard
conjecture, nor make assertions relative to
the opinion or determination of the admin
istration on vague reports or slender foun-
dations. We believe we have ample au
thority for stating that they are determin
ed to call Congress together, and that with
little other expectation than to rtsolve on
open hostility with Prance, by allowing our
merchant vessels to arm, by granting let
ters of marque and reprisal, and by repair
ing and increasing our navy. In the mean
time our situation with Great-Britaiw will
Remain in statu quo ; or, very probably,
when she discovers that our spirit is not
totally benumbed by French influence;
and when we more fully consider the im
mense benefits of a mutual good under
standing, by reciprocal concessions and a
sincere desire to cultivate harmony, har
mony will be fully restored. England at
present will make no advances; if made
they must be made on our part ;■ she Is
waiting to discover with what temper we
shall meet the aggressions of France.
“We cannot credit the monstrous idea
that the administration have any intention
of again recommending the embargo sys
tem. Tlie nation will not submit to it.—
The former inducement that recommended
it, the desire of pleasing France, no longer
exists. Humble as we rate the talents and
judgement of our cabinet, we must not
consider them so destitute of both, as to
even faintly harbour such a sentiment.
“ It will probably be but a few days before
the President will issue his proclamation
for the convenience of Congress. Will
their coming together be delayed till Sep
tember or October ? Why should it not be
in August at farthest ? Shall it be delayed
under the impression that our situation will
be no worse ? Every moment’s delay will
be injurious. Shall it be delayed to wait
for further European information or the
operation of occurrences ? Information suf
ficient we already possess to justify, to
compel immediate decision; and what
prospects are there of European events
about to pperate propitiously for us ? None.
“In what a degraded, a contemptible
light appears now the character of our gov
ernment. The genuine patriot sorrows at
the aspect. The politicalopponentsbear too
much grief to exult over their sunken re
putation. Often as the wise have warned,
laboriously as the good have exerted them
selves, and futile as have hitherto been those
cautions and exertions towards maintain
ing our rights, our property and our dignity
among nations ; and useless as they have
been in removing cumbersome stupidity
from the national legislature, and low in
trigue, and miserable subterfuge, and bar
ren brains and base principles, ambitious
impotence and unblushing impudence, co
vetousness of popularity and carelessness
of nati< nal weal; that has been done by
thFmselves which all the ” logitk and the
wisdom and the wit” of i
and genius could not effect, nor all the la
bours of patriotism and prudence. The
court party in their wrestle for popularity
and pelf have overthrown themselves.
“ And what are the lacerating sensations
of him who was at the head of those ring
leaders whom the immortal Washington so
emphatically and justly pronounced the
guksf. of thia country ? Can he, in his
retirement, retire from the gnawings of
self reproach and the maledictions of his
country ? Can he see this nation impover
ished, degraded and half ruined, principal
ly through his means, and feel no com
punction ? Can he examine his own head
and not detest it; or cast his eyes upon his
own heart and not avert them with anguish
and horrout ?—But enough ; it is painful
to dwtll on his detested name, a name,
that shall give an indelible stain and fixed
stench to every page wherever the histo
rian makes truth his guide.
“ Condemned long and merited!/ by their
political opponents, and at length ridiculed
and condemned by their political friends,
the present administration must fail, or
truth and justice jnay as well go back to
Heaven, for they were otherwise useless
here. The wheels of the state waggon are
deep in the mire ; there plunged by stu
pidity and madness ; It now becomes the
duty of all to assist in raising them : And
it becomes their most sacred duty to ap
point as conductors hereafter, men who can
distinguish a precipice from a plain and a
I slough from a mountain.”
Extract of a letter from an American
gentleman at Havre, dated -l/iril 17, to
a gentleman in Nero- York,
“ By the John Adatns frigate you will pro
bably receive despatches from Mr. Arm-
7 *
strong. Pn~r man, he can do aothing herr.Jj
He dcspaW.anfc w!|l leave this country irt•«
a few days. Whit will your government
do? The conduct of the French gdhern
ment la undcaauiitable. 1| »>y happen,
that Napoleon will suflVr iome vessels from
the United States to come in, and make
great voyages. Don’t trust him—if he
does, it will be done merely to induce many
to come in, that he nab them. It •is
said he has passed a Decree authorising
the confiscation and sale of ajl American
property in the ports under his control;
but this ia not generally received as a fact.
It strikes me that he, frorif motives of poli
cy, will yet nfitier tohesitate, while he
has something of more importance in view.
Depend upon it, you can expect no act of
justice from him while you arc on good
terms/with England. Rather than do you
an act of justice, he would keep down the
clamours of his subjects, by extending the
license-trade, by which means he can get
all he wants through Great-Britain, and
give in exchange his grain, oil, wine, bran
dy, See. for, though he is at war with Eng
land, he hates America trtbre than his open
enemy. Send no property this way—
What can your new President do ? If h<
goes to war with France, It w*l make the
Emperour laugh—he treats your Minister
with levity and disrespect—be is going
home mortified and disgusted. If you do
go to war, you must send hundreds of crui
sers up the Baltlck, along our coast, in the
Mediterranean, &c. and capture, sink or
burn, every vessel having on board a French
license.”
By an arrival yesterday, we received
London papers to the 14th Muy. I hey
are not fruitful of events.
Excepting that the appointment of Mr.
Morier, as Secretary of Legation to the
United States, had been gazeft'j, we find
nothing on the subject of our relations with
England.
Every thing remained quiet in England ;
Burdett was in the Tower, and his Iriends
did not increase in Parliament. The great
opposition Lords, Gray and Grenville, had
declared in favour of Parliamentary privi
leges. The Speaker of the Commons had
obtained leave to defend against Burdett’s
action.
A singular attempt had been made by
tha British government to induce Ferdi
nand the VII. to escape from his prison in
France .•—But he had refused to accede to
ithad given information to his prison
keeper of the attempt, and had obtained
the arrest of the agent; and had request
ed to be adopted as Napoleon’s son. So
say the French papers. Circumstances
render the account of the attempt proba
ble.
The English accounts from Cadiz are to
the Ist May. They state the French ap
proaches against it tq be forward; and
that they had taken fort Matagorda, on the
N. E. side of the harbour. The city was
well fortified,' and had a strong garrison.
An incessant cannonade was kept up by the
besiegers and besieged. Their Lisbon ac
counts are not so late as ours. Massena
was tn command the invaders of Portugal,
with Ney, Junot and Regnier under him.
Napoleon wa. making tours in cortipany
with his lovely Empress, who was said to
have acquired a commanding influence
over him. They were visiting Antwerp
The Archduke Charles was becoming a fa
vourite with Bonaparte, .who had advanced
him to the highest dignity in his Legion
of Honour, and it was said, would make
him King <f Spain.
There were no indications of peace.—A
British fleet had arrived in the Baitick.

Extract qf a letter from an officer on
board the United States brig Ferret ojff
Charleston harbour, (" S C. J dated sth
May, 1810, tq a gentleman in Talbot
County, Maryland.
“ Some short time past, there was a
French privateer came inhere under the
pretext of being in distress—landed up
wards qf tvjo hundred thuunand dollatrt—
smuggled a quantity of goods, and obtain
ed permission to sell other good# to the
amount of twenty thousand dollars, to de
fray her expenses in fitting out, which did
not amount to more than four thousand
dollars—and this too after this privateer
had actually plundered vessels out of this
port. Some lime after she was ready for
sea, and had entered men here, they had
prudence enough to order her out laden
with provisions, al which the captain took
umbrage, and swore he would have re
venge, which he has taken. He, (the cap
tain of French privateer,) wrote several
letters to different captains, or rather sent
messages to them by pilots, that he would
let them pass for five thousand dollara,
otherwise he would burn them if they
came out. And to crown all, the other
day he fired, merely for hit amusement, a
volley of musketry into a packet on t he
Bar—(Charleston Bar.). He got under
weigh from close in shore (for he always
lays at anchor there until he sees vessels)
run under the lee of the packet, and shot
a gentleman in the arm, (a passenger,)
which passed through his shoulder, and
then, with all the impudence imaginable,
told the captain hr might pas* Insjgfcd tf

privateer still remain blockading the pop

revenue cutter after her, which lies hen
with eight, guns and plenty of met), tbt
privateer having only two guns and seven
ty men. The officers of the privateer
would come on shore every night at
Charleston and go vidting. I have seen
them myself at the Theatre. At length
, after a great noise had been made, the
Collector sent out the revenue cutter in
pursuit of her, as it is said, but not until
she had gone.—The privateer is now <fl
