Extract of a letter tinted fort Hiuddcrt,
(Mobile) July I, 1810.
“ I am s'.rry to inform you that our neigh
bors at Mobile, have, for some weeks past,
been in much alarm utuler the apprehension
of a predatory expedition from this settle
meat, under comur of avenging our wrongs,
and liberating the c'niiens of the United
States, in thisquarter, from the paymeut of I
Spanish tribute. They think that they have
demonstrative evidence of uie .< xistence of
such a conspiracy among us. For my own
part, f have d tabled it, because I have seen
no external evidence of it.
“ Possibly, however, the idea of forming
a confederacy for the purpose of attacking
Mobile, may have existed, or may now exist

hibiting expeditions against the territories oK
powers with which the United States aie at

Spaniards have very imprudently collected,
as 1 am told, a hotly of 400 Indians: the con
sequence of which inevitably will be, that if
any depredations should be committed by
them upon our settlement, even peaceable
and prudent men will be drawn into an in
direct support of the wicked machinations
of the lawless, and will in defence of them.,
selves and their property feel impelled to I
take vengeance on the savages and their em
ployers. I am in hopes, however, that the
Indians have no serious purpose, beyond that
ot eating Spanish beef.
“ Some Frenchmen and others have been
apptehended and confined in the fort at Mo

and believu them to be innocent. But thus

RICHMOND, AUGUST 34, mo.
J^cu* tlje CDnqimcc*
The Courts of New Orleans present one
ot the strangest anomalies in the annals of
jurisprudence.—Attached as this province is
■ oa country, which boasts of the blessings of
the common Law, it is nevertheless cursed
with the barbarous prescripts of the Civil
Law.
VVe boast of the privilege of the use of ju
ries, a privilege which is nut only engraft
ed on the habits of the people, but in some
respects recognized by our federal and state
constitutions.-it, N. O. this inestimable
privilege is in some cases denied orunkiown
-and even in those, wnereit is empl .yed,
what ubsuiUities may not surround its enjoy
ment !— 1 lu te men perhaps may be empan
nelltd to try the cause——one of them i> a
r renclnnan, another an American, and he
wiu> trims the balance ot justice, may for
augnt we know, be either a Spaniard or a
deal man. The advocate uses; and unless
lie -a,i express himself in all the languages
of Ins hearers, he stands very little chance
of moving the minds ot the :ury. If he is
conversant with both, he fii.t states his ar
g in*' nt in (he one mngue and then in the o'
iher! If the advocates mi both sides are con
versant only with on* language each, why,
then the h tench lawyer may convince the
t rench jury man, the American, the Amen
can, and as tor the deaf man or the Spaniard
he must be a physiognomist, enough to c in
sult the language of nature ; the looks tones
and attitudes of the pleader.-Justice has
been paint- d blind ; but indeed in this ca^e
at least, she ought rather to be represented
as deaf.
The conduct of the judges and lawyers, is
just as odd as their sys.em of jurisprudence
-One pleader, after betraying Ins trust
on the Atlantic, by a defalcation of some
thousands of dollars, thinks fit to fly to N.
O. for shelter and for practice-he con
trives to thi ow the city into a flame, by a
species of ciiainpctry j and upon the prey’s
being snatched from Ins talons, he sues the
Ex President, of the U. S. for 100,000, the
Marshall of the district for 1*0,000 Dolls.
In the \ery face of the Goort, one limb of
the Law, lavishes his abuse on anotht r,
who retorts by throwing an ink stand at his
head. 1 tie assailant is contumacious, and
the Judge retorts by banishing him from the
Bar for ever.
But a case has taken place ofquitea new
description. We shad state the facts and
leave the reader to his own comments.—In
the case bt the trench ship La fianchise,
e er the decree was pronounced, it was a
greed by the Attorney of the U. S. and the
Counsel tor the claimants, that as the cargo
was in a perishable state and stored at
great expcnee, it might be sold at a credit
ot GO days A Mr. Suepherd became a pur
chaser to a large amount. Some days be
fore his note became due, lie observed in the
1 prepuce qI the disii ict Attorney, that it
Would be a very good thing, if he could get
his note renewed. The At. thought the
thing could be done. Mr. S. requested him
to enquire whether he could effect it, and if
so, he would pay a commission. Mr. At. said
he would try and get it renewed for 6 months.
“ Do so, said Mr. S. and I will pay 4 per
cent.” Mr. At. obtained the consent of Mr
Moreau, cotinsel for the claimants, to renew
the note. “In the latter end of March lie
shewed to S. an agreement between Mr. M
and himself, which was placed in the hands
of the Marshal.” The note was renewed 6c
Mr. Attorney pocketed about 4 or 5b0 Jols.
Finding afterwards that reports were a
float, unfavorable t>» his reputation, he re
quested an enquiry into his conduct to be
made by the te ieval court. Tuc case was
heard, and Judge Hall summed up the tes'i
tuoiiy. He confesses that on many occasL
oils, trie A. lias displayed a teal tor the pub
lic interest that has done him much honor ;
that he considers his exertions were those
ol a faithiul officer; that in several instances
he has been kind, indulgent and accommo
dating without any expectation of reward,
and in one instance refused money when it
was offered—but he wishes the transaction
ot the day he saw S. could he blotted out of
the history of the attorney’s lite—the result
of the enquiry is that Mr. Grimes has incur.,
red the censure of the. court, aud he is cen.
sured accordingly. 6ce. 5cc.
'^Feijeral Veracity.
I ext.-* Mr. Mndisou iheiefore never
had an idea, that G. Britain had laid any
“ unjust restrictions” on neutral commerce,
unlit she issued her Orders in Council. So
much torthe first aggression.—The reader
will perceive that the French were the first
aggressors on neutral commerce. The Bri
tish blockade!* which took place previous to
the Berlin decree, were according to the
long established law ot hat inns, andi our gov
eminent never com/iluincd of them ; hut
the Berlin decree cut up the law of na
tions and all other law by the roots. 1
Since that tune the law ,.f nations has been
a dead letter, and had it not been for the re
sistance of England, there would have been
at this day no la v on earth hut the will of
Bonaparte.”—JVew York Evening Post.
So much for the p ttn-nic text—and now
tor tile Comment—— “ I touch, sir, with
i eluctance, the question, on which of
the belligerent sides the invasion of neutral
ngh s had its origin. But as the British or
ders have made the decree of F«ance, the
immediate foundation ot their destructive
W triare on our commerce, it belongs to the
subject to remind your government of the il
legal interruptions and spoliations suffered
pievious to that decree, by the neutral com
merce of the U. S. under the proceedings
of the British cruizers and courts, hnd for the
most part, in consequence of express orders
from the government itself. Omitting
proofs of inferior note, I refer to the exten
sive aggressions on the trade of the U S.
founded on the plea of blockades never le
gaily established according to recognized
definitions j to the still more extensive vio
l+ttons of our commerce, with ports ot her
enemies not pi etended to be in a state of I
blockade ; and to the British order of coun
cil issued near the com neHcenientof the ex

COMMUNICATION.
A publication in the Whig of the 17th
inst. signed A U. C. charges the Secretary
of the Treasury, with issuing a “ Circular
Decree, in direct opposition to an act of
Congress •* To interdict the commercial in
teremrse between the U. State* and (i. Hri
tain, amt t ranee and their dependencies, 6c
for other purposes ” No man, in or out of
Congress, conceived it to extend to other
than Prance and England, with their colo
nies. or.the Countries in which they exer
cised exclusive jurisdiction ; that was not
the case in Holland, hpuin and Naples, each
of these Countries having an acknowledged
kmg and government of their own. What
ever influence France or England migir
have with the sovereigns of those, or other
countries, was no part of a law. confined in
its operation to the exclusive sovereignties
of France and England.
1 lie same publication umlert ikes to state
the man tier that the Amet loans were re.
ceived on their first ippeiinnce in those*
countries, after the partial raising ot the cm
bargo, than which, as the accompanying
letters and decrees prove, nothing could be
farther from the truth. The fir*t arrival
at St. Sebastians from the U. S that sailed
under the law passed the 1st of March,
1809, was the schooner Fawn; to an appli
cation for permission to enter and dispose ol
her cargo, the following answer was given
to the commandant at St. SebastiansGe.
neral, on your acquainting me by your let
ter ot the 2Jd May last, with the recUtnn
lion of the uaptaiu ot the schooner Fawn,
you have asked me vvliat conduct vou were
to observe with respect to the other vessels
from the U. S finding themselves in the
same case, who should establish the like re
clamation — I inform you that the emperor's
intention in that his decrees of the 2l‘>tNov.
1S06 and of 1807, relative to the bl ckade
otihe British Islands, will continue to be ex
ecuted in the ports nl Spain ns in the ports
ot France. Thus any vessel that may be
found countervailing the decrees will be sub
ject to the measures oftigor which they pre
scribe, but when there is no violation ot the
decrees, American vessels are at full liber
ty to enter or sail,—Signed the minister of
war. Count of Huneburg.
The Fawn’s cargo was disposed of to ad
vantage ; on her return to the U. S. iho
merchants encouraged by her reception, and
the assurance given in the foregoing letter:
made many expeditions for St. Sebastians:
the fawn went back with a second cargo,
and returned from ibence for Baltimore on
the 25th December. On the 2Sth December
the first violence was offered to American
property; which, from the previous June
had been allowed freely to be imported and
exported. Theschr. Kite arrived at Naples
the fust vessel ; on application to admit her
to enter, the Neapolitan minister of foreign
affairs addressed the American consul Is;
July, 1809, as follows :■ ■ ■ • On this occa
sion his majesty has resolved as a general
measure, that all American vessels that ar
l ive in this kingdom with direct t xpeditions
and positive destinations for its ports, shall
bcJ'reelj admitted, provided they come fur
nished with the requisite certificate of the ori
gin ot their cat goes, Sc with the i espective pa
pers of their navigation in order, and always
understood that they be not found to counter
act the royal decrees of 20th December 1806,
and 9th Jan. 1808, relative to the English
commerce, and to that ot the neutral pow
ers. which decrees, are to be preserved in
their full rigor and eff ct.” Thus encourag
ed on the return of the Kite, large shipments
were made from the IT. S. to Naples, which
were unmolested until about the last of
Nov.
The government of Holland issued a de
cree on the 31st March, 1809, permitting the
importation by neutrals, of certain articles,
among them tobacco and pot ashes ot this
country : and on the 30th June, 1809, ex
tended importations by the following decree :
An 1 Tlie last of articles allowed to be im
ported by the act of the 31st March, shall
be extended to the following Rice, slaves,
bark and other drugs used in medicine, cot
ton Georgia, Louisiana and Carolina, Java
coffee and sugar from our colonies. Art. II.
Ktsides certificates ot origin, required by
our former act, the director of the board of
trade shall appoint seven brokers to examine
the z -ods. to ascertain if they are totally the
produce of our colonies, or of the U. S. for
the better means of examination, all goods
shall be unloaded in the royal stores. ^Art.
Ill A month from the date' hereof, our di- I
rector of the board of trade .shall report!
to us, if it is advisable to permit ihe conti |
nuatiort of these measures. Art IV. Ame
rican vessels arriving within three months !

1 He above decree was repealed by that

vessels into the harbors of this kingdom,

thereto be placed on the same tooting upon
which it wa . before the promulgation ot the
said decree, so that no other vessels than
those conforming strictly to the restrictions
contained in our former decrees shall be

shall be warned off, the director ot the cus- j
toms hereby orders all custom house officers!
stationed in the harbors and ports of this
kingdom, to act according to the above de
cree, and io inform all captains of American
vessels who may hereafter arrive, of the con-1
tents of the same ; as also to send the papers
of those whom from the nature of their car
goes conceive the same advisable, with the
addition of the usual declaration of the di
rectors of the customs, and to wait for fur
ther orders concerning the same. The ves
sels that arrived with permitted articles,
disposed of them to advantage, umil Dec.
1809 ; tnese arriving with other articles, were
not permitted to discharge them for sale,
but were at liberty to deposit them in the
royal stores, or leave the country with them
no board : such vessels as did not depart were
unmolested until the promulgation in April
last, of the treaty between Holland &. France
of March, 18io.
