January 30, 1810.
Laid on the table by the chairman of the com
mittee of ways and means to elucidate that part
of the bill which appropriates money to repay the
bank of New-Orleans the sum of g 100,000 ad
vanced by the bank to the collector at New -Or

Sir,
Should the embargo be raised during
the ensuing session of congress, it will be neces
sary at the time to make some arrangement at
this port for the payment of the draw back of du
ties on the goods imported last fall, particularly
the ships Baltic and Eleanor, that paid upwards
of one hundred thousand dollars -, and several o
ther cargoes that were specially imported for the
Spanish market, and arc still on hand, waiting
only that event to send them to Vera Cruz. As
the duties will have been paid, debentures must
issue payable in 15 days alter the vessel sails, and
1 shall not have sufficient public monies on hand
to meet them.
I tm respectfully, Sec.
Wm. BllOVVN, Collector.
Honorable Albert Gallatin, Secretary ofTrca

Sir,
It [s probable, after raising of the embar
go, that drawbacks on the exportation of mer
chandize from Now Orleans to a very considera
ble amount, will become payable by the collector,
and that they will much exceed the amount of
monies coming into his hands. Under these cir
cumstances, I have to request, that on the appli
cation of the collector, you will advance to him,
for the payment of drawbacks, & sum not exceed
ing one hundred thousand dollars, ■which sum, or
such part ot it as lie may find necessary to take,
the collector is directed to refund to the bank out
of the first monies which shall subsequently come
into his hands. In the mean time the drafts of
the treasurer on the institution shall be so regu
lated that no real advance of monies beyond the
deposits belonging to the government shall be
inude.
The advances thus to be made to the collector
are not to be charged in the books of the bank to
the account of the treasurer of the United States,
but l will thank you to note at the *Vit of the
treasurer’s account, which is made to this office,
the amount advanced to the collector, and to con
tinue this note nl the loot of each return, shew
ing the sum in pdvance to the collector at the
end of each month, until he shall have repaid to
the bank the entire sum advanced in consequence
of this letter.

Office of Discount and Deposit.
N. Orleans, Nov. 20, 1809.
Sir,
A circumstance has occurred of a most
extraordinary nature, the elopement of William
Brown, collector of this port. It is presumable
he has carried with him about 90,090 dollars, in
doubloons, which be had obtained by means of
the credit given him by you on this office. On I
the 4tii day ol October, the amount was, at his '
request placed to his credit on our books, as well '
as on his own bank book, and drawn for agreea
bly to the account herewith, lie left this citv
on Tuesday about 12 o’clock, and stated to his
deputy that he was going to leave town for a
tew days, which he was in the habit of doinir
Ins wiles friends living about 25miles up the
coast. Not a lisp of suspicion existed until
Thursday, nor would it in all probability for
many days, only from the following circumstan
ces : lie had a note due in this bank for (390 dol
ars ; at near 3 o’clock, I sent over to the custom
house, and Ins deputy refused to pay u with tin*
message that the collector had left no word a
bout it, and he did not know where he was gone
I then saw the naval officer ; he told me he did
not know, nor could account for Mr. Brown’s ab
sence, except he was gone up to hij wife’s
lnends. I expressed my astonishment at the
deputy s refusing to nay his note, and asked him
!: “e krv \hf ca",*c •’ then told me confiden
tially, that although he could not for a moment
suspect the honesty of or motives of Mr. Brown
there was something strange in his leaving at the
moment he did, when his services and presence
was particularly required at the custom h<*,se
, necircumstence ol the advance of the 109,000
dollars then occurred to me. I asked him if he
knew; of the advance ? he said he knew of the or
der from you, but did not know that tin: collector
had made use ol it. I asked him if tl.« business
ol the custom house required the advance » he
! answered no. I told him Mr. Brown had drawn
a considerable proportion of it, and went imme
diately to the bank to see the state ofliis account
on our books, when I was surprised to find lie
had nearly drawn the w hole balance, within the
last lew days, which bad remained to his credit
on the 31st day of October, by checks pa\aUc to
the Louisiana bank, for which it since ap-iea-s
he got doubloons, stating they were to be shin
ped on account of government in an unarmed v«s
sel, therefore enjoined secrecy on the cashier
My suspicions wrere then excited, and I called
on the president of our bank, stated the circum
stances to him ; alter some conversation we a
greed, delicate as the allair would be if our sus
picions should prove without foundation, no time
ought to be lost in making them known to the
Governor. He immediately summoned aH-the of
ficers of the custom house before him : their evi
dence, j.iul its being proven that he had secretly
become the purchaser of a felucca, or English pi
lot boat, which had sailed on the day he, the col
lector, went away, left no doubt but he had gone
in her. The governor then sent for commodore
Porter, who immediately dispatched a row boat
with an officer and six armed men, after the fe
lucca. Accounts just arrived from the Balize
stale, that she, the felucca, was lying there on
Thursday morning, waiting for a wind, and that
the wind would be fair that afternoon, it having
changed about mid day. I am, therefore, fearful
he will make his escape. The consternation ex
cited in this city by this shameful alTair, is boyond
all calculation, for he was looked up to os a mod
i el of honesty and correctness in his office ; and
! although some might doubt his prudence in his
private affairs, I believe not a soul in tiie comma
nity doubted his honesty.

POLITICAL VIEWS.
A few days ago, before the arrivals from Eu
rope, we gave a sketch of the results of the late
war in Germany upon the territorial distribution
of conquest. The article.which we gave a few
(lays ago, was in fart written immediately after
the receipt of advices of the treaty having been
concluded at Vienna ; but it layover till a period
When the stagnation of our own national a flairs
called for some novelty to divert us from the con
sideration of our own shame.
1 he statistical calcination winch we gave at
that lime had one material error, that is the inclu
sion of Austrian Silesia among the countries lost
to Austria ; when in fact, it still remains to Aus
tria.

The circumstance which renders this snhje, .
mow interesting than may at first sight appear,
is what appears now to i»e believed probable—a
new war Austria against Franx.
This may at the firs! view stait’.e these who
rely more upon the prudenoe than on the folly oil
the house of Austria. But although nothing but;
infatuation and madness could lead t<» such an
event after such repeated experience, the advices
from Europe tend to impress the belief of a new
coalition being probable.
The symptoms of a rcn6\vcd war on the Euro
pcan continent are various ; among others, it lias
been determined in England to send a considera
ble reinforcement to Spain and Portugd.
Changes have taken place in the Austrian ca
binet in which many of those who iiad couiuelhul
the rupture of last year are reinstated ; and
movements have taken place in Hungary, which
have induced a suspension of the evaluation of
Styria, and of part of Lower Attstria ; the head
quarters of the French which ha 1 been est 4
blished at Katisbon, have been carried b -k to
Passau, and a large encampment formed at Lintz,
of Bavarians, Wirtembergers and French. Both
these cities are within the line of demarcation of
the treaty ol Vienna, hut which not being vet
distributed among the Rhenish confederates, mav
be considered as French conquered tcrrilnrv.
The lino of the Traun river is strong ; and the
country between that river and the Inn, which is
the old line of Bavaria, is broken and well wa
tered ; very productive towards the Danube ;
and leaves no obstruction to a rapid march into
Lower Austria by the Danube or on the side of
Indenburg, or the frontiers of Styria and Salz
burg.
The British have occupied several of the is
lands in the Ionian sea, and it is said that the
corps of Bruns wickers,under the voting duke now
in Englahd, is to go to the Mediterranean along
with the whole of the Germ in legion in the Bri
tish service, which are not already in Spain.
A powerful movement is making at Constanti
nople, to raise the Turkish nation en masse, to
which the approach of the Russian army within
six days inarch of Constantinople, lias not a little
contributed.
The design appears to he, to earn- the war
which had hitherto progressed from' south to
north, into Turkey ; and engage the attention of
France on a great number of points at o- zc.
The Spaniards are to make one more great ef
fort to ex;>cl the French.
A co-operation is expected on the side of Tur
kish Albania ; a Hungarian insurrection is ex
pected to be called forth, to the amount of JJ'J.OUO
men.
A movement is to be attempted in the north of
Germany so as to occupy the Saxons and alarm
Holland and the Westphalian kingdom.
The delegates of the Tyrolese who have snent
some months in London, have already gone to t.'ie
Mediterranean, with the Scot which convoyed
stores to Malta and the Ionian islands.
Another expedition to the north is spoken of,
whether to Denmark, Sweden or Russia, or to
the Elbe is not said, but presumed to bo one of
these points.
All these views are combinedfwilh a large fleet
and military expedition to SouJi America ; sup
posed to be intended for Mexico ; where they are
already preceded by agents from the Spanish
junta, and some from the court of Great Bri
tain.
These speculations appear to lie extravagant at
first view. But is any thing too extravagant for
despair ? The vtate of conflict in Europe now,
is reduced to much the same situation as that of
a man exhausted by excessive debauchery, where
the power of stimulants had been employed till
tbe system required a perpetual opiate, to length
en out a miserable existence.
What will he the effects of a new continental
war in Europe, upon the affairs of the U. States ?
Are we to linger out also, and to be kicked and
bulleted by the carahuncled bullies of the British
brothels, and laughed at by the most contempti
ble of human beings, whom they send among us
to feed the social appetite which has been infect
ed by their intercouree, and brought to loath ail
that is wholesome, and to swallow dl that is de
bilitating and noxious to tile social body ?
Should these speculations turn out to be found,
ed, then wc shall for the present have /:« war , nut
the war upon our rights and property at sea, and
upon our citizens whom the British wfll Sull im
press ; meanwhile the Legist itureof Massachu
setts has kindly step*, forth once more to taka
upon itself the ca>-es of the nation, which, until the
period of the lUtli Congress, it was generally
believed to be the particular duty of Congress
itself; however, the eastern folks undent, rd so
much belter howto manage affairs of every Kind,
that it may one day become a question whether it
would not be as well to openly declare Massa
chusetts to he, as Athens and Sparta were at
times in the Greek federation, a power para
mount ; Simon. Snyder and his Spartan band may
have the care of the military affairs.—Aurora.
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
An intelligent 3n<l respectable correspondent
informs iis, that there has lately been found in the
northern part of this state, a singular kind ofciay,
which, by the heat of lire, is converted i impure,
fine,transparent glass —The peculiar propertic ; of
this clay were thus accidentally discovered. Last
summer, while Mr. George Scriba was building
a grist mill at Rotterdam, on the Oneida Lake,
in digging a canal for the flumr, the workmen
came to a bed of clay ; of which, however, no
notice was then taken. In the month of Novem
ber, a stove was put up in the mill, fo; the benefit
of the m /n who were employed, in finishing the
interior of the building.—Finding the house soon
filled with smoke, the workmen applied this clay
to the crevices of the stove pipe. In the course
of a few hours, the clay had disappeared ; and
on examining the inside of the stove, they found
that the clay had been converted into fine St pure
glass. Since that discovery, several experiments
have been made, to ascertain the (|uulities of tins
new kind of earth.—I'wo letters have been re
ceived, briefly stating the result
One of them says—“ The melted clay, as it
was poured out of the crucible, appeared of the
consistence of molasses ; n .;1 when it had cooled,
it proved to be clear and beau’ ’ill glass, of a
green tinge, and so strong that it was with difB
culiy broken with the hand ”
The other letter says—“ I prepared a little fur
nacc before a blacksmith's bellows, and blew
one hour, when I found the clay well melted and
in a fluid state, so that it run out of the cruci
ble in strings, as thick as a straw, and produce ,i
solid glass, which could be lima drawn from three
to four fvet long.’'
As this is an entire new discovery’, it will,
doubtless, receive the attention of the’chymists
and mineralogists of our country.—N. V. Com

MILITARY LANDS
IN THE STATE Of KENTUCKY.
No. 1G4—1200 acres on the Ohio, at the mouth
of Delaware Creek.

the above, &c.

f>r a town on the Mississippi.
These locations arc specially inaclg, copies of
which, together with copies of all die military
entries made below the D.-nneasee, certified bv
the principal surveyor of the military lands, are
in possess on. It has been st veil to me that a
great portion of the above lauds -. e of toe first
quali'y ; A trial neck of hind bounded by the Ten
nessee river, the Ohio, the Mississippi and the
L. .nessee hue, has been generally represented
by those who have explored it, to possess superior
local adv.mtag -s to any tract of equal extent it*
the w-stern country. The Indian claim to the
Lands in question is now about to be extinguish,
ed, commissioners bein ; appointed lbc that pur"
po?e, when those lands will unquestionably be o*
good value.
Ai.so, 844 acres on the S. W. side of the
Curnb rlaud, one to two miles below the town of
Eddyvilie— This tract fronts on the river 433
poles, part of the low ground, which is extensive,
is heavily limbered ; and from the quantity of
earth eaten by wild animate at the river bank and
sundry places in the low ground, from my o\v.»
view and the opinion of others, it probably con
tains as rich a body of salt, as any yet discovered
in the slate of Kentucky.
Ai.so, 489 1 3 acres adjoining the back line of
the above. These tracts were patented in the
year 1787.
IN THE STATE OF OHIO.

haps from 5 to GOO acres of low ground, part of
which is heavily timbered, part prairie, a consi -
derable portion of which is inclosed and under
cultivation, some timothy meadow, fruit treca
■planted, anil other imp. jvements made. On the
high land are two large groves of sugar maple.
