millions of ducats ...Balt. Eed. Gazette.
By the arrivals at Salem from Smyrna and
Palermo, we learn, that all commercial pn„

and Russians continued, supposed to be

Of Spain, we could learn nothing, by the

that the French were rapidly overrunning

“ The arrival of a vessel from London has
furnished intelligence from England to the
33th March, and the arrival of the Juno has
brought desp i‘ches from our ministers at
Enndon and H ,vis ; the r.outen's of them have
not rranspir-d, th ugh I suppose in a few
days they will be known. It appears from the
papers that considerably expectation prevails
of Mr. Pinkney’s success ;o coining to some
arrangement : the conduct of the British
government towards the U Scares is uud--<
going a strict scrutiny in P n In mant, end
we may soon hope to see tram actions which
hv.ve been enveloped in rhvstery, disclosed
to the world. It has been roundly asserted
by men of high standing, that the late mi
nistry have garbled statements and withbe d
documents which would completely justify
Mr. Erskine in his conduce ; nothing can be
more clear than, admitting Mr Erskine ex
ceeded his instruct jus, the citse assigned
for disavowing his arrangement dots notap
pear sufficiently important to justify the in
terruption of that good tinders.audntg which
would have grown out of it.
•• The situation of parties in England ap
pears to be novel—the ministers have been
left in minorities on several important
questions;and such lias been the feeling ex
cited by the disasters of dje late expeditions
that ihey will soon be compelled t>* resign
and give place to a ministry not involved in
their past measures. It is an important con
sideration how far this state of things will
affect any arrrngement which the disasters
of the ministry may dispose them to make ;
however, if u change should take place we
may expect it will be more favorable to the
U. States, because they will be succeeded by
■men of more enlarged views and more li
beral policy, 'idle note front the French
government addressed to the American mi
nister. published in the English papers, if
■genuine, is of a most insulting nature : wc
may soon expect a true copy, and can then
ascertain its real character.”—Lynchburg

As several erroneous publications h.ive
appeared in the newspapers respecting the
vessels destroyed in Cadiz ; and desirous
tint a true statement should appear, 1 think
proper to publish the following :
I. Pcleg S. Folger, master of the brig
Young S •idier, lately arrived at New York,
from Cadiz, being in said place in a gale of
■wind that commenced March 4, and contin
ued until March 9, 1310 ; in which gale a
number of A me: icau vesst Is and others were l
•driven on shore on the east side of said Hay. |
And were destroyed by tire, do hereby give I
it a; mv opinion, and the opinion of the peo-*
pie at Cadiz, as near ns 1 could ascertain
the same, that the vessels that had u cargo
or part of a cargo on board, which the Eu
glish knew Would be beneficial to the French,
tlieir enemy, they destroyed ; and that the
French destroyed all thciy conkl get access
to, and kept in possession the officers and
crews of all that remained on board at said
time. 1 believe it is not ascertained in what
manner they were treated, as all communi
cation from said part of said Bay w as entirely
cut off. J
I further think much honor,is due to Ad
niir&l Sir John Parvis, commander of the
ftritish fleet then in Cadiz, for his noble ex
ertions *or the preservation of the Ame
rican shipping in said gale, and I further say
not.

FROM THE AVRORA.
AMERICANS IN FRANCE.
^ There appeared last year in the New
York Evening Post, and iu the papers which
generally palliate British outrages and sup
port her influence and policy, in opposition tq
the American interest and policy, several
atrocious libels on the American ambassa
dor at Paris. These libels in the sequel prov.
ed to be forgeries in many instances, and
[such as were not forgeries were fabrications
of persons who had forfeited by their pet ju
ries and frauds in Europe, all claim to confi
dence or credit; and who appeared to lie ac
tuated by the same spirit of incorrigiule vil
lainy which had been their practice, and cast
a cloud of disgrace on the American name
abroad.
Something of the same kind has lately ap
pearedin a paper called the Norfolk LHg
er, in which it is further insinuated that the
Americans who have been carried into
France as prisoners, under whatever cause
or pretence, have been sold out of prison to
go on board privateers. The Ledger has
not, it is true, said that these alledged sales
were made by the minister at Paris, nor for
his profit nor with his concurrence ; but the
insinuation is so loose and general, that it
appears to have been left open to such an
inference.
'1 lie f-’rgeries & calumnies of the N. Y. E.
P s", were rebu'tedand refuted by authentic
docuiiieuts ; and the calumniator sought, as
in his recent vindication of the insolent Co-|
penhugrn missionary, to find shelter in an
endless scries of petty togging quibbles and
shabby sophistry in which those who had pa
tience to read them, could discover nothing
but encrodsed motives for despising anil pi
tying the degraded state of mind which could
grovel at such foul and fruitless work.
Wc have it however in our power, and we
have been possessed ot the information for
several months, to enable the American
reader, to ascertain more correctly, as well
the kind of jintericant who have been pri
soners in prai.ee ; the real conduct of the
American ambassador; and the real disposi
tion of the French government towards the U.
S. Se further there may be some light thrown
on these alledged sales of Americans, from
which if it should appear that there are a cer
tain description of Americans in France, who
are notoriously hostile to the existing ad
ministation ol the United States, who are
engaged in a smuggling trade, who are en
gaged in privateers which they left out in
trance andcaruy on a system of smuggling
with other nations, and depredation on their
own countrymen : if it should at length ap
Ipear that among these are none else but
1 such as were when in America, called good
federalists, & that the American ambassador
ai Paris, has been the scourge ot these mis
creants, the American public will then un
derstand the subject hotter. We give the
[following without more than a few words of
j coinineut passing,
Mh Duane,
Since my letter bv the Wasp, I
have seen another of Mr. Coleman’s labors
of the 17th of August last, in which besides
applying to the minister of the U. S. at Pa
ris the well bred terms of “ miserable mL
nion of Bonaparte,” “ vile and insolent
caitiff &c See. he endeavors to prove, that
this niuister has shewn nothing but indif
ference or hostility towards the Americans
wboli ivc been confined in France, under the
. dennmiii. don ot British prisoners. The
specific charges to be drawn from this vul- |
g ir, ab isive, and libellous publication are : 1
1 .t. Fuat General Armstrong has refused
\ to interfere for hest prisoners.
2d. i hat ms plea for so refusing was, that ;
the pei so s in question were not Americans
j bu. Englishmen } and
3d i hat he even ofiposcd the exertions
made by Isaac Cox Barnet, in favor of these I
: unfortunate men. The truth of these char- j
ges Mr. Coleman endeavors to make out by !
two letters——the one of the eighth', the o- i
; ther of the 20th of June, 1808. which lie as- !
. cribes to Doolittle, lute mute ot the j
]tfer>tune.
What degree of credit may be due to a!
man, who like Isaac Doolittle, has been con
victed in a court of lau of having made false
declarations—is a question which I am sav_
ed the ti ouble of discussing by Doolittle him
self, who as will appear by the following dc
j duration u* Captain Stephen Merrihaw, de
I ides that lie iseithcr fabricator or circulator
i of these falshocds.

His excellency General Armstrong, minister
from the United States, at Paris, addressed to

“ Gen. Armstrong will be much obliged by

mate of the American ship N.-plune, and now
living with J C. Jinrnelt, rue de tf'lnnis) and en
quiring of him—1st, whether he is, or is not, the

in behalf of American prisoners which Geu.

whose authority, lie (Doolittle) declared, that
Gcr,. Armilrong has abuny tirr,.- refuted to inter
fere fm American prisoners in France ; and that
wfirn, so refusing, “ he had urged the plea Hist

Englishman" as asserted in the aforesaid ? c*pt
Merrihew tflll have the goodness to do what
may be proper to obtain explicit ar.g wers, and
il possible answers, in writing, to thes : ques
tions.” In compliance with tlia above request,
I called oil Mr, Doolittle, and proposed to him
the questions as above. To the ii-st he replied,
that it could not be supposed tint lie w is the an
Jthor of the letters in question, as they wefre nott
'rioutly false in some paints ; th a neither his U
ther nor himself ever reside*! in New-Ymk. as
there stated, but in New Haven, Connecticut —
I'o the second lie ni l, he did not know lliat Gen
Armstrong had ever opposed any exertions made
it Mr. Basmtt in favor qf American pi so net* —
Thirdly,that he never had asserted that the ge
nrral refused to interfere for the American prison
ers, or that he had in any manner denounced t ’ em
tas Englishmen, as mentioned in those lettres ;
observing tint he could not give mole explicit an
swers to those questions.

I hasten, sir, to answer the letter that your
excellency addressed to me on the 19th of Au
gust, and which I refcrr d to the minister of nia
vine, in order to know il Uu prisoners you claim
as Americans were but passtngers on hoard of
the sliips upon which they were found.
The »nquiries made on this head at the muiis
t-y ot the navy, were not attended with entire
success, because some of the ships, onboard
which the individuals claimed, have been seized I
nor the port to which they were taken, have been
designated; this omission, added to our errone
ous spelling of the names, may he the cause that
out of the 26 prisoners, only 16 have been found i
and that the enquiries that were made about the I
10 others have peen unsuccessful.
1 ought not to dissemble that the evidence ac
quired respecting the 16 who were found upon
the registers, is not of such a nature as to.be fa
vorable towards their obtaining their liberty;
soma arc notoriously Englishmen—•others per
formed the functions of captains and second cap
tains of English ships, or served as sailors: one
onlv is inscribed as a passenger, and he was born
in Dublin. As it is possible, however, that some
uefect in the evidence has caused an error as to
pei^ons, I return to you the statement you had i
ad tressed to mo, with an invitation that there bo i
added to it the names ot the ships on board which
they were seized, and that ot the port to which
they were brought.

he is not willing to derogate from the principle,
that “ an individual taken in the rnnkt or on board

add, that he had obtained n promise of their

I long since fulfilled, but for two reasons,
vU:
| 1st. The descent of the British army at

j moment, suspended all indulgence towards

I thoie confined within the ancient Belgium:
and
! 2d. The readiness with which diese goad
' Americans, for whom Mr. Coleman disco
vers so much fellow feeling, are found toen
; ter on board of French privateers. No soon

ire-opened, than the owners of these priva
