IMPORTANT LETTERS.
HAMBURGH CORRESPONDENT.
Tuesday, January2, 1810;
V From a Utter dated Paris, Deccinbrr 25.
The here residing royal Danish envoy, Mr.
Von Dreyer, has sent to the American Ambas
sador here, General Armstrong, the following
letter : —
Sir General,
1 hasten to acknowledge the receipt of
your favor which you honored me with under
date of liie 15th inst. and which contained the ic
itionsimions of sundry captains and supercargoes
tit America!} property, of different cargoes and
vessels arrived at Tonningen. I have made it
niy duty to send botli this letter and Um remon
Strations annexed to my court.
Heavy denunciations which were made against
vrss.ls and cargoes, as if they carried English
pioducc «;r were English property, have inclined
the king to lay under sequestration those cargoes
which were in depot of the store of the several
harbors of Holstein, so that at a new exarr,illa
tion it may be proved how far these denunciations
are founded. As I am fully acquainted with the
friendly sentiments of his majesty towards the
United Stales and its citizens, 1 can, sir, give
YOU full assurance that all provisionally seques
trated goods will be returned to their legitimate
owners who can prove their capacity of Ameri
can subjects. Only those will he confiscated
which are manifestly enemies’ property. You
know, sir, the sentiments of equity by which the
Danish government is led, l,jo w ell to harbor the
least fear in this respect. ’ ’
1 must tender you my thanks for the offer made
of examining the papers an4 documents of the
goods put under sequestration, which might ap
pear auspicious. 1 have had the honor to an
nounce to my court that 1 view this offer a? an
effectual remedy to fund cut the truth or falsity o*'
thv denunciations whence the sequestrations had
arisen. 1 remain, &c. 2tq.
(Signed) DREYER.
Paris, 29th Dec. 1303.
I’aeIs, Dec. 20, 1809.
General Armstrong has thereupon written the
following Circular to several mercantile houses :
Par:;, Dec. 22, 1809.
Sjr,
Enclosed is a copy of a tetter which 1 this
day received from the minister of his majesty
the King of Denmark at this court. Besides
these written assurances, he has made more ver
bal ones, to wit: “ that every thing which can
be proven as the property of a citizen ol the Uni
ted Slates el America, (be it the original produce
of any country whatsoever) shall he promptly
restored without delay.” 1 myself put hijl conh
‘bailee in these assertions, both in respect lo per
mjiiuI acquaintance with the minister, as to the
wi ll known equity of the king whom he i..-pre
sents.
I have the hc-nor, fee.

GAUDALOVFE TAKEN El THE BRITISH
By the brig Astrca, Cottrill, arrived at
tins port yesterday, in 18 days* from St. Bar
tholomews, we learn, that the Island of Gua
daloupe surrendered to the British under
General Beckwith and Admiral Cochran,
on the 6th of February, after a severe con
test, which lasted live days, during which,
great slaughter was made on both sides.
We have not received the official'detail,
nor the terms of stipulation.
We further learn, that the ships Louisa
Cecilia, from N. York, for Gijon, and the
j l’lioeuix, from N. York, for Lisbon, were
j bvith captured on their passage, and scuttled
b\ two b rench frigates ot guns, bound
troni France to Guadeloupe. The Captains
and crews were taken out and carried into
Guadaloape, ^Dd the Captains of the above
ships, Fowler and Telford, went to $t. Bar
tholomews, and took passage on board the
Astyea, and havp arrived in this port.
In addition to the above, Captains Telford
and Fowler, who arrived here yesterday,
Ka. St. Bartholomews,in 21 days from Gua“
daloupe, state, that on the 26th, 27th and
-Sth of January, the British troops under the
command of General Beckwith, and Admiral
Cochrane, completed the landing of the
troops on the south side ot the Island, near
Bassaterre. The disembarkation ot the
troops w as effected without interruption from
I tlie I- rench. ’I he w eather was fine, anti r.a
accident* happened.
On the 3d of February, at 5 in the tr»r»?n
ing, the British attacked the French at Ma
coubac, about 6 tnilcs irom Basseterre. The
battle continued ’till 11 o’clock, when the
firing ceased, ’till one. The battle was then
recommenced, and continued’till dark. The
tjcxt morning, at day-light, the battle was
renewed, and continued ’till 8, when the
white flag was hoisted on all the French
pods, us a signal for capitulating. At one
o clock this day, (Feb. 4,) Admiral Coch
leae landed, and with several officers, vent
into the 1 reach c;;mp. He remained there
till the 6th in the morning, irom whence
he proceeded to Bassatcrre, where he arriv
ed ac 10 in the morning; and immediately
informed his officers, in the presence of
Captains 1 efford and Fowler, Chat the whole
Island had capitulated to the English, at 8
o clock that morning. The report was, that
the English loss was about 500 killed and
wounded. 1 he loss of the French was not
known—it w’as supposed that their loss must
have been great, as only five of three com
panies of grenadiers survived. Every post
was taken by storm, at the point of the bay
onet. i he fighting was of the mest despe
rate kind. The French had 183 pieces of
brass artillery. The English army consisted
of from 7 to 8,000 men, besides seamen and
marines.
The English intended to go to St. F.usta
tia, Saba and St. Martins, which places
they mtonded to garrison.—Aicr. Jidv.

FOR THE ENQUIRER.
TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!
THE CENTINEL.—No. II.
I I said, that the minority were the authors
i of the federal resurrection : In support of
this charge, i appeal to your own rcrncm
jbrnnee. At the time when tliis schism took
|place among the republicans, what could lie
more forlorn than me state of the federal
ists' Now and then, indeed, wehadavoL
ley from a federal press ; but it had mure
the sop ml oi a funeral fire, over the grave
| uf their party, than a continuation of the
i political war. '1 he mass of the party ap
peared to be sunk and lost. A few years
more of union among the republicans, would.
1 believe, have left no trace of them remain
ing, except, here and there, a prominent,
disappointed chief.
It was just at this point of time, when the
federal patty was thus rapidly hastening to
dissolution, that the leader of the minority
stepped out of liis former ranks, and sound
ed the trumpet which recalled them to life.
Look what follows! The blood returns to
their f.Ku d checks—their eves open, their
hopes revive, thr.ir ambition is re kindled
and binges villi new violence, They re-col.
Uct their disbanded and scattered forces;
they organise and discipline them; and
a*e now carrying on their mamnuvres not
only wi'a great ability, but with success,
v You can scarcely believe this; |ook at
Lew ior'i. 1 tell ).ou that, in imagination,
; the federalists already have the government;
already they are deliberating on their Pre
sident and cabinet; already thev fancy that
they have your noses ftt the grind stone oi
u sedition lavy. and are punishing you for
your past prosperity.
I said also, that tl«v federalists 6c republican
minority were completely incorporated 6c u.
nitvd. This is a fact, which neither the body
ol the minority nor the federalists wish you
to understand. The minority are as yet a
little ashamed of their npoatacy, and shrink
troin the imputation ; and the federalists
lind their account iti holding up the miuori
ty as republican still; for it enables them to !
suy. “ it you will not believe ns, listen to your
own party,meaning tiie minority. Thus the
minority are federal auxiliaries in republican
disguise. It is proper, however, that their
j di.sguis; should be stripped o*r, and that they
should be known for what they really are. ,
I hey have already had a false credit with
us, too long: It is high lime that they!
should be reduced to their proper standard.
I repeat, then, that they are federalists,
fighting under the same banners for the same
principles ; and that it is an impudent piece
ot imposture, tc attempt any longer to pass I
them upon us for republicans. \\ hat ground '
of federal opposition to the administration, |
have they failed to support ? What topic of
federal abuse have they failed tore echo?!
Have they nor evinced the same partiality i
towards Great Britain ? Hate they not set
up the same defences for lit r conduct# Are
they not now taking part together with Co
penhagen Jackson against the government,
ot their “own country, concurring in declai
ms* in every quarter of the Union undine
1 very circle, that ** they have looked in vain
[tortile insult which he oiiereil to our gn
\eminent ?” whereas* it '• urreau had only
curled one of his whiskers half way towards
such an insinuation as Jackson has flatly apd
boldly expressed, repealed and reiterated,
they would both have seen and felt it too,
! as quick as lightning, and it brooked by the '
| President, would have proclaimed, with a I
voice of thunder, that the country was sold
iu r ranee.
Do the federalists accuse the admiiistra
ticn of hostility to Great Britain? So does
the minority.
Do the federalists accuse the ndministra„
tion of partiality to France? So docs the
minority.
Do the federalists declare the government
indisposed to treat with Great Britain? So
does the minority.
Do the federalists applaud the arrange
ment with Mr. Erskine and propose a vote
ol thanks to the President for making ii?
So does ihe minority.
Do the federalists afterwards f*ce-about 8z
condemn the President tor the very bime
act? So does the minority.
Do the federalists charge the administra
tion with imbecility? So does the minority.
Do the federalists reproach the adminis
tration with mismanagement cf the finances ?
So does the minority.
In short, i might run through the whole
catalogue of federal hostility and abuse, and
return the same answer in relation to the
minority. Now when I see two trees, both
bearing crab-apples of the very same size,
colour and taste, am I to he told, that tile
one, to-be sure, is r crab-apple, but the o
ther a pippin ? I may be told so ; but i shall
not believe it. No; it is by tile fruit that I
shall judge the tree. And by this test it is,
that I pronounce the minority, federalists to
ill intents and purposes. I said, that the
body of the minority did not wish this to be
understood by you : "Their leader, however,
who has either more spirit or less prudence
than liis followers, does uot pretend to con
ceal this fact—for on the Aoor of Congress
lie boldly nvqy/ed, that “ there could be but
; two parties in any country ; the ins and the
' outs And in a late publication, signed Phi
lo Laos, which is, on all hands, ascribed to
him, it is said, that "whiffs in power bc„
come tor ice, and lories, out of power,
whiffs. ’ 1 his is at least an admission, that
jus pai ly ana tne ltqeraljsrs are acting to
! gethcr ; and an attempt to cover himsetf by
; the position, that the federalists, with w'.om
| lie acts, are now republicans, ar,d that v/e,
by getting into power, have become federal -
; its. Is this true? What were the old fede.
ral doctrines ? Internal taxes, direct tax
es, a national debt, large standing armies
and navies, executive patronage, executive
power strained to the highest key, a strong
partiality for Great Britain, and ini alien &
j sedition law. Which of these grounds have
we taken? Notone. Which of them have
I the federalists abandoned ? S-.; far as their
want of power permits os to judge, not one.
If, then, neither the federalists nor our
selves have changed our ground, wl)at be
comes of the apology, that whigs in power
become tories, and tories, cut of power,
whigs ? It vanishes ; and the admission,
that the minority at * with the federalists,
stands naked and uticxcused. Yes ; their
sentiments, their arguments, their princi
ples, their actions Concur with the admissi
on of their chief in fixing on them the brand
ofapostacy—apostacy unprovoked, unjusti
fied, unexcused and inexcusable.
Why, then, are we avked to continue our
confidence in these men ? “ They were once
republicans!”—true And Arnold was once
an American officer; but I doubt whether
he wpuld have been at ail the sooner trust
ed for that reason, after the affair of Stoney
Point—On tne contrary, if he had bi en
caught during bis invasion of Virginia, 1 sus
pect it would scarcely have occurred to his
captors, that lie w»s entitled to the more
lenity, because he had once been an Anieii
cap officer. This may be thought a harsh
comparison; and Kbit would bo, if it were
intended 10 iun upon all fours ; but it is not:
1 use it merely to illustrate the position,
; that the minority are not the men entitled to
[ onr. confidence, for having been once rc
I publicans.
I c'<> not concur in the sentiment of Cos
| mas, Duke of Florence, as implied by that
| desperate saying ot his, “ you shall read
j that we are commanded to forgive our cue.
, trues ; but you never read, that v/e are
commanded to forgive our friends.” It is
certainly true, however, that a wound from
the hand of a friend cuts much more deeply
than from any other; It is also most cer
tainly true, that a friend who becomes an e.
nemy, is, of all others, the most bitter and
implacable ; and that bitterncs and implaca
bility are increased in proportion as the in
! jury w hich he has inflicted, was unprovoked.
| 1 his is tire case of the minority ; they arc
| conscious that their hostility and ill treat
I ment to their former friends, is unprovoked
, and unfounded. H .nee it is, that they en
j dea v or to drown, by their own clamor, the
I pain of this consciousness ; and by the mere
I violence of that clamor, to induce the sup
j position of hidden wrongs, which they hud
J it vain to attempt to designate.
| There is an thet motive, too, which, tend*
l to inflame iheir opposition j They know,
that they go over to the federalists irt a vc
ly questionable shape. They are new pro
selytes, and are aware of the strong reasons
which tiie- federalists have to distrust their
sincerity and zeal—hence it is, that they
think it necessary to give such extravagant
proofs of both. 1 really pity tills little party ;
tvozen in the esteem of their former friends,
tney endeavor to collect a little vital
warmth by basking in the beams offcder.il
favor; they imagine that thev are all in all
with the federalists ; that the federalists fc J

Hored by the alliance, that they willche.: -
fully put tiiem at the head of the league: —
And ti;e federalists are very willing to c u
i ish and foster this delusion, llrtice the ca
resses of federal men and federal presses to
Mr. John llalidolph, and the very gr-icious
attentions whu:h are paid even to sonic ol"
Uis satellites, by the federal gentry.
The poor little minority plume themselves
on ill tliis, as proof unequivocal pi" their ad
mitted sovereignty ; and return all these
Caresses and attentions with the most coa;le
scendir.g grace, and winning assiduity_
The federalists, all the .while, laughing in
their sleeves at this ridiculous mistake'.'re
solve nevertheless to keep it up as long as
they have any occasion to make use of Vue
minority. If I may borrow an idea, they
have no objection to mounting on the ladder
of the minority ; but once up and linnly seat
ed, as they have no intention to enrpe down
ag-'iu, the ladder will l*e removed to make
room for batter furniture. It" the fede
ralists succeed, the minority will remember
this prtdit tion. It is tlit* case in every com
bination of the kind ; see. Sempronius’s
speech to Ins t-lltes who were just about to
be led to execution, in Mr. Addison’s iilav
ot uato.
W hen then you look to the sentirpeuts
which thty express, the principles which
they advocate, t ie conduct which the> pur
sue, both in and out of congress, the a he red
cut lent of their associations, the recent
change in their personal intimacies and at
tachments, it is impossible for any nian, ju
ins senses, to doubt that the minority ’are
federalists in heart and spirit; and, as such,
if you are wise and care aught for the con
tinuance of your own principles and autho
rity, you will regard and treat them.

The anticipated,exultation of the Federal
ists mer the fallen crests of tlie adininistra
lion, is now at an end! Their |itisert,b!fr
wHining over the dautjeu. of America, yml
their deprecation of the wrath of G. liriuin.

, comfort—the British Lion has most graci
ously pleased to lei tlie ftoar jnr.nas escape
out of his clutches—the lightning of his ir«
i» not let loose upon us.
[ Mr. I Vagner once gave nu his me,tit gracious

jto Great Britain”-to allay “ her resent
! inent, i* it exists, “ to sooth and moderate
[ “ her spirit of indignation—to keep us from
[“being diplomatically insulated-—to save
“ appearances, to “solicit ledress”-and
that thus “ time would be gained at any
“ rate, and fortune might interpose to miss
“ UP smiie event in favor of the edministra
tmn, bv which they might extricate them
“ seives iruin their present dilemma"_
[ I hanks to his gracious prescriptions, we do
j hut w. nt them '. Nor do we stand in need
[of such weak-minded physicians! For;
Jackson is to be recalled and his successor
[is to be sent to tut ! !-Most wonderful
j mercy ! Most astonishing condescension,
indeed, the Federalists will no doubt call i' j
For our own part, we arc pleased with
[this conduct of tlie ministry ! And wc have,
no doubt, that if their warm friends in this
country would but hold their tongues, and.
not spirit them up to aggression, we should
stand a much better chance of arranging
our differences, and living at peace with
them !

cabinet councils had been held_He gives

politeness. Head a part of his instructions to
Lord Wellesley who observed that with
such dispositions on the part of our govern
