French privateers.*
, New Orleans, April 12.—.The cap.
tore of the three privateers the Due df Mon
tebello, the Tntre/icde. and the vessel bear
jng the papers of the pirogue calle'- la 2>etit
Chance, has disclosed a system of iniquity
Which has he.*<ofore been unpsrrallelled to
this country. There appear* to be a regu
larly connected chain of vitfainy which the
breaking of this link give^ us hopes will be
entirely destroyed. Wr suspect extremely
many persons being engaged who now share
our hospitality and al/ the rights of Ameri
can cititens; we Aope, however, for the
honor of the American name, that none of
our countrymen sre engaged. The Due de
Montebello was fitted out at Baltimore, pur
chased by a espt. White, cleared out with
French pa<seugers lor St. Bartholomews,
was caller! the Amiable, put into Savanna,
(Georgiy armed, shipped part other crew,
Jnd received the rest from on board
commanded by a captain Kuhn.—
umed off the bar of Charestou the
character and name she now wears
on a cruise, robs, sinks, burns and
, every American, Spanish and En
isel she falls in with, until glutted
Y with plunder, she is compelled to put into
this port under pretence of distress; her
captain’s name is Basson; her apparent
owner’s name is Brouard—one Menfon, and
a certain John de Loupe, make conspicuous
figures on board of her.
Thclntrepide was built here, sailed from
this port about two months since on her first
voyage to St. Bartholomews with French
passengers, commanded by a captain Ro
gers, where it is said she was soid by him
to Souvinet, one of the passengers and sail
ed with the rest of the passengers, under the
command of Broughman to St. Martins,
where she obtained a French commission,
proceeded on a cruize, and after taking from
on board a Spanish vessel 6000 dollars, put
in here under pretence of distress. On
• board the Due de Montebello is found a
commission for a vessel to be called “ The
French soldier,” to be commanded by
Broughman who now commands the Intre
pidc.
The schr. which bears the papers of pi
rogue la Petit Chance is commanded by a
person by the name of St. Caste, who says
he sailed from Gaudaloupe in the Petit
Chance, of between five and six tons burthen
on a- cruise; but meeting this vessel, and
finding her a very fast sailor, he took his
crew on board her, gave the Petit Chance
to the crew of the schr. and went on a cruise.
After making several captures and destroy
ing eeveral vessels, he put into this port in
distress*. On examining his leak it was
found to be a fresh .bored auger hole.
The schooner Blossom arrived here from
St. Jago with a number of passengers, sail
ed under the command of a certain John
iaqtie, under American colors, and spoke by
the Montebello off the bar of the Bdisce, a
snort time since, bearing a different name
cruising as a privateer under French colors,
and richly laden with plunder, who is no
doubt some where on the coast engaged in
smuggling her cargo into this place. The
captain of the Montebello supplied her with
a boat which he had taken from an Ameri
can brig ; and she proceeded to the west
ward, where some of our vessels of war have
puisued her without effect.
The schr. Leonora sailed from this place
under Sw ;dish colors for St. Bartholomews
wild about 80 French passengers on board,
and was strictly examined at the Balize, by
our vessels of war, in order to find arms on
board her, but without effect. She procee
ded to Breton Island, where it is supposed
she took on board her arms and ammuniti
cn, as she has since appeared off the BhI'iz
ir. chase of some vessels and has plundered
ethers.
We hear of a schr.- called the Superior,
/iow cruising off Jamaica, sinking and burn -
ing every vessel she meets ; not long sipce
•be was at Charleston ; also six other pri
vateers which sailed from Gaudalotipe, he - j
lore it surrendered and arc supposed to be
destined for this place : they are now crui_ |
*ing in the neighborhood of Cuba ijid Ja„
jnaica.
The system of warfare conducted by those
Jnen, is a disg-acc to human nature. Hav
ing now no place to send their prizes, they
destroy them on the high seas ; and perhaps
the prisoners share the fate of the vessels,
for wc find norm on board except a few per
sons of color intended no doubt for sale—
Nor do they confine their outrnge to English
and Spanish vessels : wc find the MontebrI.
Jo h is robbed threa American vessels, has
burnt one and ransomed another ; the protest
of capt. Schoolr'ehl is in part evidence of tins
fict.
We hvnr of a ve«s»l that was purchased
at Norfolk,by some Frenchmen, and sailed
for Savannah, but stopped at Hampton where
she was equipping id every respect for a
privateer : this circumstance joined to the
c.rcums’ance of t'kc Montebello’s having
been equipped by a. re tain Mr. Jerome at
Suva.inub, +c aie i i< ric.Si! to believe Nv tv j
Orleans and Savannah arc intended ai the
tv/o principal places of rendezvous. When
: we recollect the buccaneering; system which
was conducted by Dumpier, and others, we
1 can have no doubt of an intention in those
people to revive it!
There exists no authority whatever at
this moment for privateering in those seas,
and yet those seas are full of vessels -which
have assumed that character ; and when I
these privateers may have assembled in j
squadrons, what guarantee have we for their
honesty ? What security from their depre j
dations on our commerce ? Perhaps thosi
very cities which hailed to our shores as
distressed exiled brothers and benevolently I
extended to them charity and protection, i
may be laid under contribution or perhaps in
ashes.
We have felt it our duty to give tins warn
ing, and it rests with the officers vf govern
ment to elude the danger.

The following was handed 10 capt. Brown
previous to his departure from Cumatin,
with a desire to have it published here :
“ Dear Sir,
On ycur arrival in the United
States, you will have the goodness to publish
the following statement of facts, that have
recently occurred in this province, as well
for the satisfaction of the friends of the unfor
tunate sufferer, capt. Daniel Tubbs, of Mas
sachusetts, as for the information of such of
your country men, as may have an inclination
to speculate to this province during its pre
sent despotic government.
i uuDs arrived trom Boston on the
windward Coast of this province in the month
of October last, with a cargo of provisions
«nd lumber, having also on board his vessel
s< me passengers (mechanics) destined to ex
ecute the construction of some mills for the
inhabitants of. the const, and which were
brought with express license of the former
administration of this province ; and on his
arrival landed and put to work under the
same authority.
A short time after the arrival of Captain
1 ubbs on the coast, arrived in Cumana from
Spain El Senior Euevio Eacudero, to take
the government of the province ; a man
governed by no principle, but that of ava
rice—directed by no justice, but his own
gain. lie lets escape no opportunity to seize
whatever property his avaricious eye can
catch ; and since the destruction of the su
perior authority of Spain, not feeling him
self accountable to any superior, gives full
scope to his outrages, without fear and re
morse. Captain Tubbs was amongst the first
victims of his infamy ; he seized his vessel
and cargo the moment of his arrival in the
capital, (where he was ordered to pay his
duties,) flung the captain, the passengers,
the crew and all concerned, into prison, con
deemned the vessel and cargo, seized on the
property of the unfortunate inhabitants for
whom the mechanics were working, or who
had any transactions with Captain Tubbs;
and alledged no better pretence for all these
outrages, than that the passengers had pass
ports to leave Boston ; and that two rough
stones, intended for mill stones, were on
board, and not found in his papers. As fal
lacious as these pretences are, they have
been made, and constituted crime enough to
throw into prison 15 Americans, and arrest
many of the inhabitants of the country, who
had commerce with Captain Tubbs.
These proceedings will suggest to your
countrymen, the caution with which they
ought to proceed, when thev visit this coun
try ; or rather, eVince to them the danger
of visiting it in any manner; and also show
to the world the degrading slavery in which
the inhabitants of these provinces live un
der their petty tyrants.

. Raleigh aV. C. May 3.—A gentleman who wan
m Newbern during the setting 0f the Superior
court last week, has informed us of a murder
which was lately perpetrated there, supposed by
Captain Edward Tinker and Mr. Peter Durand,
on a lad about 17 years old. The following is
k history of the case as received from our infor*
mant. Several weeks ago Captain Tinker with
Mr. Durand, (his brother-in-law,) andjthe lad on
; ' carried a cargo of sugar and coffee to
, “*ltimore, which he sold for money —He then
i *n*urcd his vessel with a valuable cargo to New
born, and sa.led in ballast; near the Hatteras
Hanks be landed the money and sunk the vessel
by boring holes in her bottom—then came up
to Newbern and with Durand swore to a protest
that the vessel was lost in consequence of her
age and had condition, and stated that the money
went to the bottom, and two men were drowned
i jn for it. The lad, though evidently tu
tored, prevaricated, and in subsequent conversa
nons said no men were drowned and that he him
sell assisted to land the money. On Saturday
night the 8th ult. a little after midnight Tinker,
Durand, and the lad (who lodged at Tinker’s)
were haded by the watch near the wharf. Tin
ker had a gun and answered ;thcy were going to
s loot (.ucks. In an hour or two after, they re
turned without the boy and were again hailed by
the watch, who enquired for the boy; Tinker
said he had gone on board a vessel. On the 18th
ult. the body of the boy was found floating on
the river with sixty weight of stones fastened 1o
nm by ropes, his feet tied, and f rom appearances
had been shot in the back —Tinker and Durand
were taken up ; these with many other
corroborating circumstances appearing in proof,
they wore committed to jail. A few days after,
Durand, under a hope of pardon, made, it is
said, a full confession of the murder.
Thursday last Tinker was arraigned for
trial at Craven Superior Court, but it was found
impossible to obtain such h jury as tyc law deems
impartial. More than 200 talesmen on being
questioned, said they “ had formed and expres
sed an opinion unfavorable to the prisoner,” be
tween twenty and thirty were challenged by the
prisoner, an I after every exertion during th«
whole day and summoning every free holder who
could be found, only seven jurors were sworn._
The trial was therefore postponed to the next
term cf court.
There were some extraordinary circumstnn*
ces which led to the discovery of this murder.—
*• customary for the watch to remain
ni. alter 12 o clock ; that night was accidental
ly an exception : and their meeting Tinker and
bolh when going mul returning i« remarkable_
'"ft the body of the boy shoivkl float with GO
weight of stone* fastened t,» it has* also been
deemed an extraordinary circumstance.
inker’s connections are wealthy and respect
able. He u himself rich but Ids character lias
always bee it a slender one.

I Florida—as yet \vc know nothing to the contra
ry.
But the report now is, tb»t this colony has
hecn ceded to France by Charles the 4.h. previ
ous to his having been dethroned—probably a
long with Louisiana.
It is further added that Frenchmen in the U
nited htates, ready and willing, are invited by
the French government to resort to the Florid#*,
where they will receive poi lions oflaud gratis—
lurthcr ; tiist several have already accepted the
invitation and passed on to their place of des

And furthermore ; that an American gentle

with the governor of East Florida, to procure
grants of lands, See. &e.— And that lie was infor

tenens—-keeping possession till a French govern

could do nothing—that heretofore be held it for
the old king, and as Spain now fell into oilier
hands, he felt it hib duty to comply with the or
ders of tlie King ofS, ain.
If all this be true, and not at all improbable, we
are in a great way. We are placed exactly in

appeared on the nortli side, perhaps eight or ten
degrees ; both of them, with the sun, were in a
direct or parallel line with the horizon. There
was at this time a small misty or thin cloud over
the sky m every direction but not so much as it ob
scure the sun’s light sufficient to enable a person
to look at it any time. TheJalte suns, as I term
them, were nearly as bright as the true one ; and
none of them could be viewed for a moment,

The two main points of the foreign intelli
gence are the seige of Cadiz, and the pro.
gress of the marriage of Bonaparte. They
iioth proceed as might have been expected.
Cadiz being the last spot and refuge which
is left for the Spaniards, they seem resolved
to maintain ir, and there is at present every
appearance that it will be defended with e
qual bravery with Sarragossa. The situa
tion and works arc said to be very strong,
and as the Knglish hear a very good propor
tion to the garrison, the French wilt lind It
a more difficult enterprize than they seem
to have reckoned it. The defence of Cadiz,
however, will answer but one purpose, it will
saver, e Spanish fleet, and enable the patri
otsand the Spanish army to sail for Spanish
America—The Spanish fleet, v/e »ehevc, is
but so much rotten timber.
'I lie probable situation of Spanish Ameri
ca becomes a matter of considerable inter
tsttu the WiCtcaniiie body of Lowland. A
new and boundless market Is About to be o*,
peWd or closed .forever.. * AvCordlngtv as
we employ or io*e the present opportunity,
r.oghmd will win or lose a market for her
manufacture* equal to that or t’noU. S‘atcs.
'1 he Americans, tmlteil. are themselves an
industr ms, ami, therefore, in some degree
a m ^lufacturiug people-their dem uuls,
there lore, are less than would s*:c*tn natural
to their population ami txMit of country.
It is iiQt so with S »uts» America-they
have the Spanish vices, an unconquerable a
version to l.ibor. and an invincible pride and
superstition, The fertility of the soil does
every thipg ior them——their own labor adds
nothing--The kingdom ofCluli is said to
be a perfect paradise, Xvhere, under the fio”
est climate in the world, the earth produces
an hundred h-!d,and scarcely with any other
labor than that of the rake ft hoc. if in
dustry could Ire n&.ukcned on a soil and nn
tier a climate like this, the result n»ijrlu be
such as to autchorute the general condition
of the world.
'I he South American market has hither
| to been supplied through ihe mother ooon
I try, or certain individual Kurepean IVonses,
| w ic'u have purchased that privilege of tltc
| Spanish crown, such as those of Murphy and j
I Gordon in Isngland, and others of a similar I
kind in Amsterdam. It is needless to rc- I
j mark, that under such a system the supply
was narrow and insufficient, and that king j
| land, though the manufactures were in fact j
I purchased of he r merchants, did not derive j
I the natural benefits of such a commerce. I
l uc estcct ol monopolists and exclusion is to
make large profits 0:1 a small stock. It is
favorable to the merchant »vho monopolizes,
but evidently injurious to the manufacturer
——the merchant gives him no more tor the
article, and consumes it in a less quuntitv.
Thus,, for example, the South Americans
were compelled to purchase every Europe
an article at the most extravagant rate.
They paid the price of retail, and the price
of monopoly.. They paid the profit, of the
English.merchant who brought it from Eng
land to Spain, and they paid, after that, the
monopoly price of the Spanish merchant who
sent to South America.
On the other hand, as they paid so dear
ly for all that they bought, the same monop
oly against all other than Spanish buyers,
and the want of capital in those buyers, com
pelled them to sell their own produce equal
ly and unreasonably cheap. Thus they were
impoverished at both ends, compelled to sell
cheap, and to purchase dearly*. Under such
circumsttmces it is evident that their supply
must have been restricted by their means—
thosd who bought could afford to buy only
a small quantity, and the greater part of the
people could not buy at all. In this manner,
did the general commerce of the world -of
fer by the Spanish monopoly, and thus i,t is
the interest of the world and of England in
particular, to avail themselves of the oppor
tunity of the moment, and to annihilate the
exclusive and unnatural system.
There cannot be a uoub’ that this is prac
ticable. The junta, the Spanish army, the
army ofRomana, and the most distinguished
of the patriots, must eventualiy be embark
ed in English ships, from Cadiz for South A
merica; will England merit nathing for thus
preserving them t will their gratitude make
no return? YVouid it be unreasonable to tie '
rnand a commercial treaty, the first article j
of which should open South America toEn
glish commerce ? YYrou d it not be infinitely I
more unreasonable to leave things to them- j
selves, and sit C iwn contented, whiie the j
Spanish patriots, once removed to America, j
shouldnegociate a reconciliation with king
Joseph and Bon-partc ?

The good fortune of Napoleon has ceased
to astonish—hut the meanness of the *'little
great” and the prostration of dignity and
honor, must not only surprise, hut awaken
the regret, if not excite the disgust of man
kind. The effects, the important effects of
this marriage on the states of Europe *an_
not be tak.cn in at one glance—the more the
subject is considered, the more awfully por
tentous does it appear. Three points how
ever, strike at once upon the sense ; of the
consolidation of Bonaparte’s power, the pre
servation of Austrian independence, and the
humiliation of all other nations on the con
tinent, it must, we think, be productive.
In these points, surely, we have matter for
deep reflection. How such a state of thing*
may bear upon the fortunes of the British
empire, is a subject of fearful examination,
particularly when the mind’s eye is lixeil
on the cabinet that burned Copenhagen, di
rected two armies in Spain, sent an expe
dition to the Scheldt and that crept into pow
er on the principle of excluding five millions
of loyal and most deserving subjects of tbe
King from the full enjoyment of that consti.
tution, for which they stipulated at l<ime
I rick, perished in Walcheren and for the
defence cf which they fight in every quar
ter of the globe.
If Bonaparte were now to address his
subjects, upon the state of his empire, lie
would thus express himself:—'• While 1 am
about to crown and to consummate the g eat
destinies to which nature & fortune have cal
ie(i me, uy forcing from my vanqtshcd ene.
my hi* daughter, anil placing hei on my rt
volutionary throne, as the first empress of
France, troni whom anew dynasty is to pro
ceed, it is allowable for me to point out to
you, my beloved people, and to concentre, in j
one point, the glories of my unequalled reign, j
Who of the three races, or dynasties, thru I
have reigned over you, from Clovis, dpwn
to him who perished by your hands for his
criminal and yielding dereliction of the roy
al prerogatives entrusted to him, who has
ever carried the French arms over so v>st
a portion of Europe, as I have done ( Was
it Chailemagne? or was it Philip Angus"
tus ? or Louis the XlVih ? What were their
conquests, or their exploits, compared with
mine? Who, except myself, has ever plant
ed your victorious eagles on the frontiers of
Hungary, and of Lithuania ; on tint Niemeu
and on the L'ave ; on the shores of the Bal
tic, of the Adriatic and the Atlantic; at
Koningsbe g, at Raab and at Seville f Four
times have I humbled Austria, whose sove
reign I have compelled to renounce the title
of Emperor of Germany; and I have now
delivered him over to the keeping of my trus
ty slaves, the kings of Saxony and of Bava
ria whom I first created kings—I have van
quished, dismembered and disarmed Prus
sia, whom I can extinguish wholly at my
pleasure. Towards Russia, after defeating
her nrmies, I have found it wise and poll
tic to adopt a more subtle, temporising and
artful line of conduct, in order to subject its
counsels to my control ; hut, by intimidati
