1 he rrench Uovernnient having refused
to Gen. Armstrdng, any one of the seques
tered American vessels to carry home their
crews, the ship Ann was chartered by Mr.
Lee, Consul at Bordeaux toi this purpose ;
the day before Rhe sailed an order was re
ceived at the Police Office of Bayonne, to pro
hibit all foreigners from leaving France,
without special permission from the Minister
ot Police at Paris ; the Ann being nearly rea
dy for sea, fortunately got under way before
this order could be carried into effect at St.
Jeande Luz.
His Imperial Majesty appears to be much
incenced at the late accounts from Ameri
ca. As soon as the report of the lepeal of
the Non Intercourse Law reached Paris, the
Duke of Cadore addressed a note to Gen.
Armstrong, marked with an unusual degree
of anxiety to have ascertained the fact of
the repeal, and a few days afterwards the
American cargoes sequestered in Spain,
were advertised to be sold at auction on the
1st of August ; those seized in Holland and
the Norih of France were sold at Antwerp
in June. The probable amount of proceed*
-would exceed Eight Million ot Dollars.
A letter from he advocate General of the
Customs a1. Pa* is, stated the Emperor had
decreed on >h 26-n June, that the compro
mised vessels who had resumed the Ameri
can-flag, should be re sequestered ; Several
were on .ne point of sailing in ballast, not be

Cotton had risen thirty sols per lb. in con

We understand that infor mation had been
received, that the whole of the troops at
Highwassee consisting of eighty privates, and
all the military scores 8c::. were on the
way to this garrison, and was expected' to
arrive about the 5ill September, and that
the latter place would br entirely evucuat

troops to this remote situation, appears* to
be, by being immediately in the neighbor.,
hood, to prevent any intrusions on the Indi- j
ans, and also to prevent any depredations I
being committed by them. Lieut. Ramsey
says he was himself sent through the settle
ment to give notice to those who had settled
on Indian lands, to remove by the 15th Dec.
The government is confident that a resort to
arms will not be necessary, but isdetermin
ed, it the country is not completely evacua
ted by that time, by every white within the
Indian boundary, force will inevitably be
used to compel their compliance.—

of Gypsum or Punster of Paris He continued to
dig about nine feet deeper, and tlie akme appeals
in plenty. We immediately applied to ‘■•r. Pat
rick, and bht-tilled six bushels, had it g/ouiid, and
applied it in small quantities to our garden vines,
and in about six days they grew fresh and green ;
we .Nr put it oh about five acres of corn, op*
tea spoonful to each hill, except a fo w rows left to
try the experiment?— the coi n pla stered, in about
twelve days grew fresh and dark colored, St the
rows not plaitt* red remain very small and yellow
We put one bi.«' el to the sere oil diy pasture
laud, the grass immediately changed as color,
grew frefli and dark, and n >s been good pasture*
although fed every day aiuce. Uur land is of a
sandy, loomy soil and very dry ; the season ex
tremely dry at that time. We finally believe that
our crops will be tioualr to what they would have
been, had not the plaistcr been applied ; and from
our experience w« believe it to be equally as g <od
or better than tin imported gypsum. The great
est proportion of this valuable article is of a grey
color, but there are veins of transparent kind —
We however find the grey kind it* be the best for
vegetation
Mr Patrick has dug in t wo other places, and

DEMOCRATIC PERTINACITY.
“ The arrival of Mr Morier, and Uie recall ol
Mr. Jackson, are announced in the National In
telligenrer, in a mannei well calculated to «le
ceive the community. Still further to praclii e
upon the credulity of the people, and to persist in
a wilful falsehood long since confuted, it is stren
uoiisly endeavored to keep alive the belief, that
Mi- Jackson it to be succeeded by a minister of
r ink and talents. By sometoing stronger than
mere “ implication,” the governme nt paper at
tempts to make the impression, that the king of
England has p'-omiued ti> aeiwl out. *uoci soor u>
Mr Jackson, without any previous pledge from
our government of a sincere desire to be upon
friendly terms with Great-Britain
“ We have little difficulty in pronouncing the
information as contained in the Intelligencer to
be false and deceptions. Although it estabhsnes
the truth, that maugre all our violence atid buiiy
, ing Conduct towards England, she is still anuna
ted by a sincere desire to preserve the relations of
. amity ; yet ministerial agents are willing to in
volve themselves in this mortifying dilemma to
! strengthen the belief in secretary Smith’s private
1 letter, invoking delicate cans:derations oja person
I al nature.
j “We have not the least doubt that the belief
attempted lobe conveyed, is totally without foim
, dation. If Great Britain has promised, tlno igh
; Mr Morier, that a successor tr. Mr Jackson
: Would be sppc.ated, unconditionally, without any
j previous act lobe done by the United States, ma
nifesting a friendly disposition ; if she has volun
tarily offered to send out another minister, there
by admitting that “ Mr. Jackson was in the
wrong,” where, it is asked, vv»s the necessity of
sending out Mr. Morier ?-It is now eight or
nine months sineg Mr. Jackson was dismissed
and yet such has been the provoking contempt &
indifference of England, such her magnanimous
forbearance and becoming dignity under wrong,
that, at her leisure, she has sent out a mere Chat ge
det Affaires, to attend to the ordinary business of
' his majesty in the United Slates Now if a suc
i cessor to Mr Jackson waa to be appointed, un
! conditionally why this long delay, or wherefore
Mr Morier’* mission ! The supposition defeats
itseli, or the Marquis Wellesley has retracted ills
written declaration to Mr. Pinkney, and is r.on
ten*, to have the lie given to his assertions. Not
only so, he must be prepared meanly and dishon
orably, to abandon the high and just ground as
sumed by his sovereign upon his minister’s dis
missal
jjutine National Intelligencer goes the still
further Very reprehensible length of endeavoring
to produce a belief, that Mr Morier is invested
with more extensive powers than those anticipa
ted from the character given to the mission by
lord Wellesley. The editor would have it tlio’C
that Mr. Morier has presented to the secret.«ry of
state, documents, not the usual accompaniments
ol ministeisof his rank ; an insinuation altoge
ther destitute of foundation.
Wc have pretty good authority for stating this
to be the fact; that Mr. Morier’* mission is precise -
ly of the character promised by lord Wellesley,
ami that the information is imparted to our exe
culive, that England will send out another minis
ter with full powers to settle ml differences, as
soon as she shall have sufficient reason to believe,
from our acts and not profissions, that we are wil
ling to be upon terms with her.
“ het the artful impressions attempted to be
, made by the Intelligencer have their full scope 8t
effect, and what are the feelings which ought to
lie excited in the breast of every Sensible and ra
j tional man? Great-Britain opposes inn Wat ion,
I mildness and t .rbearance, to the most outrageous
and insulting conduct that can be met in the an
nals of dipl ifTiaey. We will venture to say the
history of the last docen centuries, will not fur
nish an ins'artce of such mean, despicable, cow
atdly and Savsge treatment, as Mr. Jackson lias
met with in this country, from the time of his
landing, to his journey through the civilized
stale of Vermont. And yet, with this and innu
merable other substantial reasons for displcasuie,
nay, reverse, we arc tohl by the agents of gov
ernment, that England wilt send out another mi
nister ; ‘!iat she is so sincerely and cordially dis
posed to cultivate the relation* of friendship, w*
" bping bone of her bone, and flesh of her
that she will omit nothing consistent with her ho
nor to eflect so desirable sin object.”— Fed Rep.

J But very few remarks are necessary on
I'the above.——We are-told that such has
been the "provoking com cm/i/** of England
ami such her “ magnanimous forbearance.”
that • at her leisure, she has sent out a
mere Chaige d$s Affaires, to attend to the
ordinary business of his majesty in the U
S ”—that we have no right to hope for the
appointment >f a minister plenipotentiary
to ti.is country—and to crown the climax,
that a successoi will not be appointed ex

we are told in the veiv same breaih. that

We are tnld, that the reasons of uiese con -
(litions are partly, t > maim ain *• the high &
just grotfnd assumed bv his majesty upon
his minister's dismissal”—. .rut partly to
obtain some pledge, that our government has
“ a sincere tlesiic to be up m friendly terms
with G. Britain.”—Vhe.^e reasons are not
thus specifically s*ateil—but such is the spi
rit of the piece-Let us examine each of
the«e reasons.
What is the “ high and just ground,”
which would be so •• meanly and dishonor,
ably abandoned ?'* the answer is, that "it
E rgland had voluntarily offered to send out
another minister,” she would “ thereby have
admitted, that Mr. Jackson was in the
wrong.” And does England mean to iden
tily herself with her minister - Does she
intend to revenge his imaginary wrongs?—
Does she mean to justify his insults? Is it
her intention to close the door of concilia,
tion, on his account ?—Does she, in a spirit
of pique and passion, refuse to send ano
ther minister to this country *-If that he
her futenti >h—if such bs the motive, which
actuates lie ministry—why. be it so. The
U. States will know how to weigh these in.
suits, as well as to vindicate their own ho
nor.
1 he sacond motive is nor more flattering
to o'.11 pride or consonant wi h the facts. It
would be to tell us : “ You have hitherto
rea'ed w ith us, in a rpirit of deception.
Y .11 have felt no sm-e-e desjrc to be on
friendly terms with u- Yon have pretended
to treat with ns, but vvid.om any intention of

Tftese r^proarh^s are false, as w< II as

. pos ion to coo e t.poi. .ny propei' terms with

cause F J J w »* insolent, is that any rea
son f<>r suspecting our sincerity *
Our compact wuh Mr Eiskme should
surely have removed every doubt, on iaat
head —And such was our desire to be on
frieodly terms with Great Britain, that
the compact was executed on out- part, be
fore it wr* received in Great Britain. The
Non_Inicicourse law was repealed, not be
cause her oonoxi us ord rs were rescinded,
but on the assurance tnat they would be
so.—On die other hand, in what respect
can we be truly charged with a breach of
sincerity-or the want of a desire to be
on proper terms with G. Britain?
> But if these are the grounds, which she
assumes—our own course is a plain one. If
she will not so far honor us as to send another
minister but upon ccndi ion, #hat we should
apologise for oui past evasions and pledge
ourselves to future sincerity, let us rec- ll
