LATEST FROM CADIZ.
Captain Bolen, wlio arrived ai this port
•yesterday, in 53 days from Cadiz, informs,
that about the 25 h of May a battle was
fought by the English and Porluguse armies
agiinst the French, in which the latter were
defeated The communication between the
besieging army of Cadiz and Madrid was
cut off. The English troops in Cadiz were
preparing on the 2d of June to make a Sor
tie on the French, in consequence of the '
news of their defeat on the frontiers of Por- ,
tup*!, expecting that the British and Portu I
gu\% army would attack the French troops
'besieging Cadiz.
1 lie bombardment ot Matagorda trom an
opposite fort was so severe, that the French
had dismounted their cannon at that place, ;
and the people in Cadiz were in full expec- 1
tation of getting rid of their invaders. Flour
was 55 20, but the recent arrivals of four
* American vessels had reduced the price. 1
Captain B further informs that 6 000
troops had recently arrived, and that when
tie sailed 15 transports were beating in. i

In the vast range of biugr p deal history

thne never perhaps, has been found a comhinn

“ In the year 1777, we find such strong
doubts entertained ut his sex as to produce
wagers to a large amount, and a curious
trial before Lord AIansfield ”
It is now evident that the fraud of the
(rambling Policies was the result of a direct
conspiracy, to which the Chevalier himself
must have been a party. On the above trial
it was sworn by M. tie Mokanuk and M.
^ Cioux. on the testimony of uculur demon \
Htracion. that the Chevalier was a lemtb. I
He afF cted to quarrel wi h Al.de Morande
tor the discovery, bat finally acquiesced m
the falsehood, and put on the female habit.
The verdict on the case tried was alter
wards set aside, upon the act requiring an
interest in cases of assurance for lile. But
many thousoudjjounds were paid by gentle
men, who considered the debts as'debts of
honor It now becomes a question, whether
in point of honor, the sums ought not to be
retunded. as we presume there is no pres
cription in debts of honor.
o:nce me vea» IT/0, little has been heard
ot the Chevalier. 1 lie Fiench revolution,
fatal to so many establishmeirs, deprived
him also of a pension grained b> Louis XVih
aiul confirmed by his successor. For a few
subsequent years', ilie sale of pari of his
effect*, and the profi s of a public fencing
exhibition in various pans of the United
Kiiigdbm, enabled M. 1) Eon to subsist with
decency, but the increasing weight of age and
infirmities, gradually rendered him mcapa
ble ol these exertions, and for many years
past he lias ueen struggling with poverty
and distress. *
For these two years past M U’Eon scarce
ly ever quitted his bed, though it was only
wimin these few months that he has laid a
side the pea. H.s heabh gradually' grew
weaker, and at length an extreme state of

Sir-In the letters of Mr Eiskiiic,
lately published, there is a mass of light
thrown on a variety of points in the history
of this country.—Among these isone, in which
VOU, sir as the Executive Magistrate of I
thivnation, ought to take a peculiar inter
est. This point involves the Conduct of the 1
hearts of departments, in regard to our to- i
reign relations-This point leads us at I
once to the more general questions: Whence
l as arisen what has been called the cabi !
nkt? and what share otigit the heads of
departments to take in the management of
executive concerns?
1 he rule ot the constitution is clear and
explicit, lly the 2d sect. oF the 2d art. the
President “ may require the opinion, >‘rt
“ writing, of the principal > ffi :er in each
'* of the executive dtp trtmen's, upon any
“SUBJKCT HKIATJKG TO THE DtlTIK.S OF
“ THEIR It KSTF.C n^K OFFICES.”-if we
pursue, then the strict ux. ot the Consti
tution, the President is bound up by two res
trictions ; 1 at. to require their opinions in
writ ing only; and "Sly, to require them
of each department, upon such points only
as fall within their respective spheres;
that is to say. to consult the Secretary of ■
State on foreign affairs. Sec the Secretary'
oF the treasury, on matters of finance, &c.
From the very first start, however, of our
political car, a different track has been
pursued File rule has been, to bring the
executive departments together in one bo
dv. and to require the advice of the ca
»iNk r. not IN writing, but in deba.c ;
noton the points relating to ihe duties of
their respective offices ; but on all the great
points, affecting he whole machine of go
vernment.-Ir is certain, that ingenuity
has not been wanting for striking out very
plausible reasons for this arrangement. It
has been said, that the President ought to
take advice, for every man is in want of it •
that if he were even a •• man of talents su*
perior to the collected talents of all |m
ministers, he may ve; assist his judgment by
a comparison ar>d collision of idea;,* tha>
“ in a multitude of councillors mere is
wisdom that this fi.st step nice adn.it
ted. all the subsequent steps will follow of
Course; tar whom should lie sooner consult
than the heads ot departments, whose mind .
, are familiar with politics, as well as with me
peculiar course of his adminis ra ion ? i! ne
do-s not - get advice through legitimate
channels, will it not hod its wav to him
through such as are clandestine and i...

• uen at all, why confine it to writing * Win

together? Why not resort to oral <i scuss; I

TO JAMES MADISON. ESQ.
PH K SID K NT OF THE UNITED STATES.
In tue days cf Mr. Adams, his ministers
went on wnh a very high hand. They wish
ed to usurp the functions of the Pres ckn>
1 hough Mr. Adams had decided on a p^ace*
mission to France, yet they tned to comnud
him-they addressed “ a fetter signed by
all five ot the heads oi departnu uts earnest
ly entreating him to decline it.”— * In Erne
land,' as Mr. A. says. “ the hist ma
gistrate is responsible for nothing; his min
isters tor every thing. Here, according to
tlie practice, if not the constitution, they are
responsible for nothing ; lhe President for
every thing-In ail great and essential men
sores, he is bound by his honor and his con_
science, by his oath to the consti ution, as
well as his responsibility to the public opi
mon of ihe nation, to act his own matuie &
unbiassed judgment, though unfortunately
it may be in direct contradiction to the ad
vice ofall his ministers. This was my su
uation in more than one instance It had
been so in the nomination of Mr. Gerry* u
was afterwards so in the pardon oi Fries
1 wo measures that I recollect with mhnit*
satisfaction, ai.d which will cons-le memmv
last hour 1
During the days ot Mr. Jefferson, Cabi
net, were occasionally held—but that great
man never held himself bound to conform to
then* advice His councils comprised he
Secry. of the Navy—those of Gen Wash
ington. considered the Attorney General, as
one of its members.—But in (he days of \Ir
J. the cabinet was no. uniformly held—if we
may believe Mr. Gallatin's complaint to Mr
John Randolph, that “there was no Cub i'.
nn,”
Hnt there are serious objections to the
use of tins instrument.
“In a multitude of Councillors there may
be wisdom —true is there energy? is there
secrecy ? Is there unity of operations? On
the other hand, is tnerc no Cabal? No jun. I
toic spirit ? No thwarting«,i the President
himself r Noc?>ntr.»l over hi* constitutional
functions ? —There is sometimes "a pow
er behind the throne, greater than ihe throne
n St-II.”
Besides, Sir, this influence extends to
the Representatives of the people Each
li nbot the Cabinet thinks itself at liberty
to wmk beyond “the dune* of their respec
tive offices,” This g.vcs them a higher
siand and an undue ascendancy over the
A. Hamilton’* letter on the conduct of U, m
VUms,

♦ “ The Federalist,” No 80, on Ui« *« Tro

members of Congress* «* There is not an
executive measure, says Mr Adams, that
members of Congress are not almost con
stantly employed in pumping from the heads
of departments. There is not a legislative
measure that the beads of departments do
not meddle in.** And what is worse, is,
that whatever drops fiom them has the grea
ter weight wiih it, because it is supposed to
proceed through the Divan from the Presi
dent himself.
| 1 Ins step too detracts frovn the rraftonm
\bil:ty of die Prysulcn'... ■■■ 1 Itese ministers
j become a sort of shield be'ween him s»nd
tlu* people. “ f was over-ruled by my coun_
jcil. The conned were so divided in their
opinions, that it was impossible to obtain
I any better resolution on the |)oint ” " These
i anti similar pretexts are constanMy a* hand,
i whether true or faint. -The people!
however, did not choose these ministers for
; the r President. But they put their tryst in
| li’rrn alone, lothrow then, every the gup.,
[on the shoulders of the cabinet, is really to
i abuse the very trust which the people have
| thought fit to repose in him.
But when the ministers of the administra
tion go even a step, further than this—when
they are not on’.v consulted by the President
: on affairs touching our general concerns, but
when they tamper with foreign ministers on
; "ur foreign relations, the evil becomes too '
great lo be endnn d. Bv what rights d<. the
Secretaries of the I reasury o.* navy cross
their o«n thresholds? What right has Mr.
Gallatin or Smith lo converse with Mr Is is
kine. on our concerns with G. B. ? Were
they the Presidents of the U S. or were
they the Secretaries of State ?
j In the first place, it is improper; because
these very men may betray the secrets of
your cabinet.
In the next place ; they may misrepresent
your views, because they do not understand
them A. foreign miniver, however, will look
upon them, as your trumpet-whatever it
their’* is supposed to be yours—& therefore
expectations may be excited on the part of
their government, to which you, sir, may
never have giten the least encouragement.
Propositions will be shaped according to
these impressions, the rejection of which
not only leads to disappointment, blit resent
nient. And even it those conversations are
not shaped into propositions they are used
as the means of intrigue ; they ate circnla
ting through other countries as the senti_
mentsof the administra inn. Why ? to give
a tone of resentment ag .inst that very admi
His:radon. For instance, sir. see the di*s
p itches of Mr. Kt skine circulating over Eu_
• ope, ere they were laid before t he House of
Peers.
In fine, sir, in whatever light, we view
litis abuse ut powers, it strikes us as a most
dangerous practice
On the whole whether we view our sec
retaries a.i p.ti is nf a C ibine , or as holding
communion wi:h foreign ministers, we feel
the delicacy of fh> ir interposition, aiul the
