through the medium of Mr. Pichon, late
French Minister here.
The late confiscation of our property in
Spain and Italy, by Bonaparte, was intend
ed to defray part of the expense of his
marriage. Instead therefore of any true
imperial democrat grieving at the loss of a
ship and cargo, be has only to fancy that
he sees them glittering from the lovely
neck, or dangling from the ear of the bride
in the form of a diamond. The whole
seventy vessels together .would not pay the
price oT the Solitaire, which formed the
knob of the Sabre of the Sabreur Empe
, vour ; nor wodld the twelve belonging to
Baltimore be equivalent to the expense of
the portrait with which he wooed her.—
These imperial weddings are likely to be
very costly to us and the poor Dutchmen,

of taking King Louis away from them, and

BALTIMORE, May 25.
25? ttje IBatliS. .
How long the people of the United States
will be duped by the artifices and false
hoods of their rulers, rational calculation
is utterly at a loss to conjecture. The Pre
sident and his Ministers have resorted to
the most vile and detestable impositions to
stop the qualms of the people respecting
the conduct of Mr. Jackson and the influ
ence of France. The letters of Mr. Pink
ney and the Marquis Wellesley have ex
.posed the electioneering fraud of Robert
Smith and placed the administration in a
state of oscillation from falsehood co false
hood. The Intelligencer has abandoned
the confidential letter of which so much
was said some few weeks since, and at
tempts to justify the Executive by calcula
tions upon the exigencies of the times.—
The contents of the letter have dwindled
into surmise and now have vanished into
air. When the rulers of a country resort
to such means to ensure their success, they
must be lost to virtue and are unworthy
the confidence of the people.
It is now ascertained that General Arm
strong was to leave France in May, and
had appointed a Charge des Affairs to
transact the ordinary business of the coun
try. When the letter of the Due de Ca
dore was first published in this country,
the democrats generally denied its authen
ticity, but Duane more abandoned than the
rest, declared it at once “an able State
paper.” Its authenticity is now acknow
ledged, and its scandalous contents are jus
tified by the tools of Frgftce. More than
twehty, and perhaps fifty millions of dol
lars are now sequestered in France, and
yet the administration priatshave the har
dihood to say that we have justly forfeited
it because we have dared A reproach the
Great Emperour our mutter. Affairs must
have arrived to a crisis of danger or our
dastardly Ambassadour would never have
dared to withdraw. Shameful indeed is
our conduct for this submission to the des
pot who commands. The citizens of this
rountry will awake from their delusion
only in time to realise their folly and make
destruction more terrible.
We are happy to observe that the com
nunication in our last paper, signed “AVm
bert* meets with general approbation.-*
suit foy 1100,000 damages, against Mr.
Jefferten la the federal circuit chart and
that the deputy-marshal'bad Set off to serve
the Writ upon him. The action appears to
be founded upon the principle that the
order given by Mr. Jefferson, when Presi
dent, for the ejecting of Mr. Livingston by
military force, after a judicial decision by
the highest civil tribunal of the territory
was illegal and not warranted by his office,
and being so, he is as much responsible for
his conduct in the ordinary course of. jus
tice, as he would be for any other tortious
act.
By the Hope, we received a Halifax pa
per of Friday last. It contains the -news
of the restoration of intercourse between
this country and England, with this re
mark, “ Perhaps no scheme ever more
completely disappointed the sanguine ex
pectations of its Projectors, than the whole
system of Interdictibns, Embargoes, Non-
Intercourse, &c. which have annoyed and
distressed the Commercial Interests of
America, for nearly three years past.”
His Britannick Majesty's ship Furieuse
was to sail for England, with a mail, on
the 16th inst. The Packet from New-
York had not arrived—-the wind had been
for several days from the Eastward.
He will be taught, that the executive of
the United States js only a citizen and not
a despot; that his office shields him only
as long as he keeps within its purview;
and that he who violates the first principles
of liberty, by reversing with military force,
a judicial sentence of a competent tribunal,
only aggravates the wrong he ha* done to
of his eaqual fellow-citizen, by contending
and proving that he was, at the time,
the injury committed, President of the
United States and a* such sworn to see the
laws executed.
This cause will afford a grand lesson
upon the duty and responsibility of limited
magistrates, who grasp at inordinate pow
er ; who make military arrests in civil
casts; who detain prisoners at the seat of
government, under a military guard, with
out any commitment, whatever; and who
substitute their mandates in the place of
right, and their will sounded with the drum
and fife, for the law speaking through the
judges. Fed. Rep,
It is an inestimable feature of our law
that it reaches all, in and out of office and
that nothing can stop it* course. On the
present occasion we rejoice, that an indi
vidual will be made to bow to it, who in
the days of his pride and power distinguish
ed the judiciary by hl* insult and injuries;
and endeavoured to undermine and destroy
it. He is now unexpectedly called upon to
answer for an abuse of office before the
same illustrious chief justice, against whom
he sfr lately transmitted a foist and officious
complaint to Congress. But he will never
theless obtain impartial justice, more im
partial we suspect, than will be agreeable
to him,

It contains also the translation of an in
sulting letter from tire Neapolitan Minister
of Foreign Affairs, rhe Marquis of Gallo,]
to Mr. Haminet, th* United States Consul
at Naples, dated Sth March, 1810, in
which the Marquis, in answer to the re
peated demands of the Consul on the sub
ject of the wrongs experienced by American
citizens and vessels, says, “After that
Act, [meaning the law qft*> United States
of March, 1809,called the Non-Intercourse
Act,} you ought not to be surprised, Sir,
it the vigorous measures which his Ma
jesty the King [Murat, the ci-devant »ta-
Ole-boy} has been compelled to adopt
tgainst the vessels of your nation, laden
with prohibited merchandiseand in the
preceding part of which he said, “ His
Majesty cannot contemplate without pain,
the little consonance which appears to him
to exist between your solicitations and the
principles adopted by the government of
the United States which are contained in
the act of the first of March of the past

France, and that of those states leagued

After this tissue of Insolence, the Na

“ The preceding official papers, re

exists of an early accommodation of our
differences with her on any principles com

which every independent nation owes to
itself. These communications remove all
doubt of the genuineness of Jie Due de Ca

in point of language as well as substance,
is equally reprehensible. The principles
it assumes are such as we never could
adopt without disgrace, and the terms an
outrage on dignity and decorum. With

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
On Tuesday last, Deacon Calvin Ja
cots, his son Saranus, and a boy by the
name of William H. Pearck, were
drowned in Palmer’s river in Rehoboth.—
They were washing sheep in the river,
when Deacon Jacobs observed the boy
overwhelmed in the stream and struggling
with death. His son immediately ran to
his assistance, when both became entan
gled, and unable to extricate themselves.
Deacon Jacobs jumped from the bridge,
and endeavoured to relieve them, but in
the struggle of death they held him to the
spot and the three literally embraced death
in each others arms. Au affectionate wifi
and four daughters remain to wail the loss
of a husband and father, and the commu
nity to mourn the loss of a valued citizen,
ahd a young man of promise and useful
ness. A boy who escaped from the river,
by creeping on the bottom, relate* the par
ticulars of this shocking affair. The father
was in the 59th year of his age, and the
son about 20—the boy was 16 or 15 years
of age. So tragical an event beggar* de
scription—every feeling of humanity must
sympathise with the afflicted relatives oi
the deceased. *

satisfactory to the court, to bring them for

seizures have been made, which it is feared
will have a wider extension.”
