FURTHER ADVICES.
(in addition to those on 1st pace.)
Received by the Camilla, J'roin Cadiz, at
A tiv York.
From the latest Seville fft Cadiz papers it
appears, that Gerona s;ill held out ; and that
the besieged have repulsed furious attacks
made by the French, and have received
supplies ol provisions, &c.
h.x or 7 vessels would sail from Cadiz for
the U. States in the course of a week after
the Camilla.
The renewing the quarantine to 40 days
(the old regulation) was in consequence of
the refusal of the Spanish consul at New
York to endorse the hills of Health; and
he at the san.e time stated to the govern
merit, that a contagious disease was in New
York; and as all tiie ports in the U. States
had communication, it would be proper to
lay a general quarantine, jvhieh was ac
cordingly done ; nor were the Spauisk con
sular certificates *o regulate hills of health
from other ports of the U. States any ad
vantage in the first instance, but all shared
the late of those from New York. Vessels
which had been at Lisbon, aad performed a
quarantine of 8 days, and brought bids of
health from thence, had to lay 40 days,
deducting the time they had been at Lis
bon.

persion began. We cannot account for that

Captain Fossett, who arrived yesterday
from St. Pierres, Martinique, sailed from
that place on the 10th Dec. No British
troops had ccently arrived there ; but about
fourteen vessels had been engaged to go to
Barbadoes, to serve as transports to conv*. y
troops to attack Guadeloupe , Tlie expedi

January. Captain F. had not heard of the
arrival of any French or British fleets from

ver d'usgreeabiel may linn h,to direct votu «-.t ir

yourself of Mrs. Bonneville and her children ;
to the gross injury you h .ve inflicted cn her
chaructc r, her situation and prospects in society,
and to ttie disgraceful stigma you have attempt

in this respect to my protection ami aid, because

and because from all his conversations with me.

justice and untrutii of those insinuations and as
sci lions.
It was from regard to her husband and a wish
of serving her and her children, that 1 consent
ed to act an an executor to Mr Paine ; assured
ly then, the very same motives will not allow m*
to withhold from hei my assistance in one < f
the most important all', irs of her life, intimate
ly concerned as it is w ith her welfare and ho

relied on the irritatt d, envious, and I belie e ma
Icvolent representation* of perjx-i i who cherish
an illiberal antipathy against her as a French
woman, and have long been j< alous oflier and
her children, lor Paine's posthumous bounty—
If on the tail It of their impartiality and veracity
you have permitted yourself to brand and dr::;,
into general notice a retired, unoffending nun
nearly unprotected worn m, to publish of her tin
most unfounded calumnies, and leave her no a!
tentative, but either to submit to tire annihilati
on of her reputation, livelihood and happiness,
or to turn upon the unprovoked assailan. win
labours to plunge her into ruin, misery and in

In your publication you men’ion the light in
which Mr Paine represented Madame BoiVsvdlc
and her husband. “ For a lot.g time ho rt;»re
st.nti il Iu r;” you say, “ as the wife of Ills friend,
a republican Printer in Paris, with whom heltnl
boarded, and who disliking the new order of
tuings under the first consul, was every day • spec
ted to emigrate to the U S. Those who hrlicved
him,’’ you add, “ thought vv’cil of tb «t kindrtesv,
in which Ids friends’ vvtfc and her children had
found relttge.”
/now, sir, x aver that hi$ renre^ntatioti is m
all its parts true. I have frequently converse:!
wjth Mr. Bonneville on his intentions and wishes
of emigrating to this eonntry, and on the situi
linnof liis family here. 1 happened lobe living
about ten miles from Paris wlien he received a
letter from tiis wife. He came out with it to
me, read several passages of it, and manifested
such an overjoyed transport, as clearly showed
the extent oi his esteem ami the confidence re
posed in her. He informed me some ht'le time
before I quitted Paris, that he hoped to he in
America before myself, as he had a prospect ot
I being permitted logo in the suit of genet al Titr
■ revu j hut he afterwards told me that circum
stance* had defeat d that arrangement. Why lie
I k is not eince etnigruh d, those who know lit*
interior or France can best conceive 1 have her n
j iniorrhed that his political opinions Irive brought
upon him many subsequent misfortunes. Tin.t
lie iias been imprisoned and afterwards placed
under the surveillance of tiie polico ; ami X be
lieve there is a gentleman now in the United
States,' whom he mentioned that tie was posi
tively forbidden to write or correspond with arv !
one.
Your informants, and you after them, have put!
into the mouth ul Lewis Bonneville expressions 1
which I am convinced he never used. He cer
tninly wished to lu e in France rather than in A
rr.erica ; whicli is the case with many of the nu
tives ol diHt country, grown men :•* well .s
children. His mother grmifv d him ■, L>ul bein''
unable to ascertain where her husband was or
might be, she .cm t*> the cs*x i»l general ■
fii'une, who received him with cnrdinhty and j
pi iced him advantageously. 1: is not true, as X
am assured and believe, tl.it M:1. JVino n-fe _u
to pay iiis passage, or that l.e was even asked u>
do so.
A* to the very scandalous r.necdot*'you have
thought f.t to insert of Madam Bonneville's h »v- j
ii*g attempted to swindle Air Paine : however,
lidse. it may be, from the circnniatam es which !
j ou relate, it is incapable ot being do proved since !
Iiis death ; and may,therefore, bathe in. resah- i
ly propagated—but, independent ot the o ivioni :
absurdity of attempting to impose upon erv man
so large a-i instrument ;«r, a bond in the place of > ,
mere order for clothes, I may confidently asset, I
the story to be utterly unfounded, from tl e man- |
nt r in which he has more than once spoken to rr.i

A motion was made at the last session of the

member of that house. To the motion rto
made the following speech in that both in

Mr. ITenxy—Though T will not conceal
ll;e surprise I felt that the gentleman should
have thought proper yesterday to have mo
ved my expul Tm from this house, on the
alledged grounds that I •• dish* lieve in the
divine authority of the N'• > Testament,”
without considering hims» If bound by those
rules of politeness, w hich, according to my
sense of propriety, should have led him to
give me some previous intimation of his de
sign. yet since I am brought to the discussion,
1 feel prepared to meet the object of his re
solution.

design of the declaration of rights made bv

iifit to cot.secrate certain great £c fundamen

constitution could not impair; for the 44 h
section of the latter instrument declares that
the d 'duration of rights ought never to he

is any apparent did rence be tv eon the two
