• ed no u Fru ii a survey made by the
. principal engineer at Cadiz, it appears that
the enemy cannot take up a position on tha»
point from which the town can be bombard
s • ed with effect. The distance between Ma
tHguda and the nearest station of the for.
titie'*'tons of Cadiz, is 3.388 yards, nearly
two English miles. Very small shells, dis
charged from 24 pounders, will.barely reach
, the town. rl .\e inhabitants, however, are
ftiot under much apprehension of being an.
iioyed from so distant a position. Cadiz is
v plentifully supplied with vater and provisi.
» «ns ; and unless the movements of the ene.
«in\ be favorable, and supported bv traitor
, , ous co.operation from within, the siege is
likely to become an emerprize of great
tliificulty.

FOR THE ENQUIRER.
Yazoo fraud.
“ The present case presents a monstrous
anomaly, to which the ordinary and narrow
maxims ol municipal jurisprudence ought
not, and cannot, be applied- If is from great
first principles, to which the patriots of Geor
gia so gloriously appealed, that we must
look, for aid in such extremity. Yes, ex
treme rases, like this, call for extreme reme
dies. They bid defiance to palliatives, and
it is only from the knife, or the actual caute_
ry. that you can expect relief. . There is wo
cure short of extirpation. Attorneys and
judges do not decide the fate of empires.** .
Such were the words of Mr. John Ran
dolph on the floor of the II. of R. on the
29 li January, 1805 ■ "and most wonderful
to tell, (if aught could be wonderful in the
revolutions ot s'ic/i a genius.) the Supreme
Court ot the U. States have pronounced their
decision and yet the thunders of Mr. R*s
indignation sleep! On <>no occasion only,
(as tar as mv memory extends) has he ven
tured to touch on this subject, in Congress
——and certainly.there were then no marks
ot indignation or fear. • He can shoot hisar
rows at the President of the U S.-but the
Chief Justice of the U S it seems, is an object
too sacred for attack. -.
What is, really, astonishing is, that so lit
tle notice has been publicly taken of the de
cision of the Supreme court. The press
seems to have slept, amidst the perils of
the countfy—But those perils are no longer
speculative or distant—events are now ra
pidly approaching, when ignorance ceases
to be innocence and apathy becomes a crime.
M-trk tile lessons of experience.
On the very instant, that the opinion
of tlie Supreme Court was proclaimed in
Boston, the A -*zoo Speculators were on tip
toe.
Notice was given in the papers, that a
meeting was to lie held on a certain day and
in Boston, by all the Yazoo claimants, with 1
the view of taking advantage of the opinion
of the Court. The Divan assembled—and
a committee was appointed to draft out the
best course of proceeding —The Report was
not published—because prudence, of course,
suggested its concealment. But from that
moment to this, the subject has been wrapt
up in darkness—one solita<y ray, however,
for the first lime, now shoots from the gloom
—and even this glimmers in such a medium,
as is not very likely to attract much of the
public attention. It is not couched in the
form of a proclamation, of a manifesto a_
gaiust the U. tv, ol a law, or even a resoluti
on of the Yazoo board-but in the more
modest guise of an Advertisement, and from
a private Individual. This advertisement, is
however a real manifesto against the rights
ot the U S. ■■■■ — And that individual is Mr.
John Peck, .hedoughty delendant to the suit
before the Supreme Court.
This advertisement gleams in the National
Intelligencer-and I am sorry to see,
that it appears in such a tespeciable paper,
without one qua.m of conscience, one warn
ing whisper to rouse us, or one protest a-J
gainst its principles.——From this paper,
the printers of certain papers in Georgia*
I ennessee. Kentucky. North and ivuuth Car f"
olina the Mississippi and Oi leans territories,
aie requested to copy it-"Their bills
sh;:ll be paid to their order by J hn Peck ”
Friends of the country i is it not time to
awaken trorn the slu ubers, in which you are
entranced ? 1 he enemy is at your gates. . 1
A band of greedy speculators, with cor
ruption in their front, and the semblance
of justice in their rear, are marching in tri
umph over the prostrate ruins of public vir
tue. They proclaim, to us, that the Su
preme court of the U. S is their friend and
ally ; that the U. S. are usurpers, who are
striving to rob them of their rightful posses- i
sums. Millions of acres are the prize of the
victors. Friends of the U States-friends
ot public virtue-will you sleep on-and
will yon^ suffer almost an Empire-the
whole \azoo country—to recompense the
fraud ot rapacious speculators ?
This advertisement speaks, for itself-.
It is addressed as a Cautionary Aotice” to
settlers and all persons contemplating ina. j
k’n-g purchases ol lands in the Mississippi
territory, grained by the legislature of me
state ot Georgia. I»v their act passed the /ih
day of January 179$ ” It tells them, that me •
Secretary of the t reasury laid a Report be„
lore Congress on the l£th December last,
comprising a letter from John Brahan.i ecei v
er ot the public monies, in which •' he ha9
endeavored to diffuse the most erroneous
impressions, relative to the title of those in
dividuals.whoclaim under the aforesaid act.”
In this letter, Mr. B. •• thinks it expedient
to have the authority of the Sec. of the
i leas, to infoi in the settlers who may pur
ch.tse (under the U. S.) that • if the lands
they purchase should be taken from them
by a better claim (than that of the U. S )
that government will remunerate the put.
chase money, together with interest, and
also compensation for improving the land.”
“ Presuming that ibis error .nay he general
with all the individuals around him ; tor his
and .heir information,” Mr. Peck most gene
onsly clones forward “ to communicate the
following extracts from the opinion of the
Supreme Court of the U. S ; in which the
merits of the Georgi grants have been ful
ly discussed; the title to the fiurr/tasers un
der the ac' ot 1795 adjudged valid, and the
rescinding act of the state ol Georgia of 1796
decided null anil void :
Fletcher vs peck.
in the supreme Court, held at Washington,
l'ebi nary term,‘1810, Hon, John Marshall,
C hief Justice, delivered the opinion of the
Court, from which the following is an ex
tract :
** It is then the unanimous opinion of the
court that, in this case, the estate having
passed into the hands of a purchaser for a
valuable consideration, without notice, the
state of Georgia was restrained, either by
general principles which are common to our
free institutions, or by the particular provi
sirins of the constitution of the U S. from pas
sing a law, whereby the estate of the plaintiff
in the premises so purchased could be consti
tutionally und legally impaired and render
ed null and void,”
In fact, stys Mr. Peck, “it will appear
from the opinion of the court that "all the
fio’nta in controversy have been decided in
favor of the Georgia grants ; i< can scarcely
Mien remain a question with those gentle,
•nen who wish to make jnuxh ises, whether
it will not he prudent to withhold such pur
chases until tiny shall more fully understand
the merits of a case, in which so much
^piejuUu,e and mrsu eyre&cuiauou have
prevailed ; or until circumstances sfmll
have enabled the goverumen -if the United
States to give those soon titles which
they at present under the judgment of fn
Supreme judicial court are utterly v na

a gentleman recommended by European charxc
