*. A letter from London uf the 2<lth May, to a gen
tleman in this city, lays, “ Since my leaving St.
Sebastians,I have received the loilowing letter from
fans, under date <>l the 8th instant : “ I am sorry
to inlorm you our general has issued urdcis to the
commissioners of sequestration for the transpor
t.ition of all Ainerirai) vessels to Btyonne, where
<4 they are to be sold Hgre*-ubly to the empcrour’s
decree of the llth ult.”—I have seen the orders,
wherein the commissioners are instructed to turnoff
the American m isters and news, permitting them
to take llietr trunks only. The order says, it is to
rrlahatr on tht Americans; and it is understood
that the release or repayment of the property is not
to he admitted cveu as a su! jecl of negotiation.”
N. Y. Mer. Adver.
The following paragraph is from the Winchester
Gazette. We saw the thing, when it first sprung
rum her Joint—we watched her course from the
north tu south; we lore saw the avidity with which
the federal prints would yelp and join in the cbace
—we have seen her actually flying like wild fire,
through nil the prints of the United States—but
nuth issues forth at last, to put a stop to theca
reer, by taking the game out of their hands. Here
is the paragraph :
• V A gentleman from Lynchburg informs us, that
he saw a letter from Mr. Coles, Mr, Madison’s pri
vtrie secretary, to his brother capt. Coles, stating
that Mr. Smith, the present secretary of state, is to
be superceded by the appointment nf col, Monroe
lu that office. We give.this as we rereive it.”—
Wc have seen a letter from Mr. Edward Coles,
the private secretary of thy president, in which he
says that he knows of no circumstance that could
have given rise to such a r-port, Mi.C. thinks n
strange, that a report so utterly destitute of found*
tiou should he propagated, for the purpose of cir
culating rumours of disaffection among the mem
bers nl the executive, and of lessening the confi
dence of the people in the administration—e nd ve
ry hard indeed, that his own name should he made
use of, t<> give it any thing like a specious appear
ance.—[Enquirer.
The. perfidy-“ These are our actors,
As 1 foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into !l,io air ;
And.like the baseless fabrick of this visir^p,
'I he cloud capt towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all whirh it inherit, shall dissolve : «
And, like the insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a wreck behind: we are such stuff
As dreams are made of, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
Every little ariiliee and invention of shallow po
liticians, are indeed, happily for these buzzing E
pherni-.ru, sonu rounded with a sleep. What has
become of the charge of perjidy, which, originat
ing from a designing administration, was so vehe
mently made all over the union against Great Brit
ain, for refusing to ratify ihfc&m.-uithorised and for
bidden arrangement of. Mr. Erskiue l Tis vanish
ed into thin air, and our government stands self
convicted and condemned by something more em
phaliral than silence. It is now, and it has long
been, evident,, that Mr. Erskine, aljpred by liberal
promises ol important concessions, was induced by
our administration to forward to his guvemment a
cirrumstancial detail of the nature and object of
those concessions, and, in fact, to solicit the king’s
minister to send nut' the instructions, which,
smoothed down by and made the egregious dupe of
our insincere and Frenchified president, he not only
violated, I ut totally disregarded in making bis no
table ai rung? merit.
But although the charge of -perfidy, so'prnf.ise
ly,.P|id, in appearance, earnestly made against G.
Britain by demagogues in publick meetings of the
people and in legislative assemblies, is no longer
either wfvanced or believed, yet since we are now
comparatively calm and tranquil, bating the natu
ral and bloody wars of democracy, in Philadelphia.
i nave a pruriency 10 snow to me reader, wnai uas
indeed no doubt often occurred to him, that though
Grrat-Bntain was not in disavowing the arrange
ment guilty of perfidy towards us, vet that we were
in that transaction' of perfidy towards her,
and that, according to a very ancient practise, not
however made venerable by time, we endeavnuted
[to conceal our own treachery by railing out traitor
first/ I will try to show this in a few words.
When the embargo—that wanton and unconditi
onal surrender of our prosperity and happiness—
was laid, British armed ships were exclude# from
our ports, while, those of France, her foiled end
defied antagonist, were admitted without limitation
in imoiVf nr deration. The famous proclamation
•as, to he sure, a pretext for this uouvutral and
h<|g|fe distinction, still being put a pretext, and

famiic hut adored Frame, Va» r. lurt.ntly placed,
• m words upun the same tooting with Great Britain ;
that u to say, the armed slops oi both nations were
prohibited from enuring our waters.
And now despatch vessels, and bearers of des-'
patches, were sent to both nations, graciously ofi r
,nP—hut without solicitation from either, thereby
making our jj£m acts very cheap commodities—to
repeal the nomintercourse as to Great Britain, and
keep it in lull force against France, if Gieat Bri
tain would recall hiur orders in council; and vice
versa as to FranrP*—This offer was repeatedly
made to both nations, borne too by despatch ves*
sels and special bearers, and lastly to Mr. Erskine,
at Washington, with the additional promise and
pledge, made by Mr. Mirdisofi to Mr. Erskine, tliat
we would “side’ w ith that nation which would
relinquish its orders, against tiie other which would
not ; meaning that il England repealed her orders,
we would go to war with Fr nce. Upon these
pledges Mr. Canning’s instructions were sent out,
and with this understanding, Mr. Erskine made the
April arrangement with Mr. Madison.
But what followed this arrangement on our part
before it was known that it was disavowed by the
British government, and when therefore, it was to
he faithfully carried into efWt by us? Did we, ac
cording to Mr. Madison's pledge, go*to war with
France ? “ Let history answer the question.” Until
the history of the times is, however, written, I
inigni as wen say that we did not. in this, there
lore, for the arrangement was not disavowed, v.e
were faithless to the President’s ('ledge, and there
fore guilty of perfidy towards Great Britain. Nuy1
more, the very week after Mr. Hrskine’s arrange
ment was concluded at Washington, congress made
such a modification of the non-interrourse law as to
admit into our waters the armed ships of France ;
asif for'the purpose of committing depredations
and piracies upon the commerce ol .F'ngland, which,
according to the arrangement, was to he resumed
with us.
Having now performed my promise, 1 most leave
the reader to his own reflections. Amer Cit.
From the Connecticut Mirror.
From official documents now before the putlick,
the following facts are ascertained :
That the french have capiurtd and condemned a
ship, driven on the shores of France by the stress of
weather, and the.perils of the sea.
That the Frenrli have burnt our ships on the
high seas, without any otlence except that of be
longing to the United States.
11.at there Hre not It ss than on? hundred Ame
rican ships, belonging to citizens of the U. Slates,
in the possession of bit impelial majesty or those
of h:sallies.
That the kin? of Naples, the brother-in-law and
tool of Buon tpart*, has confiscated 29 American
vessels, in conformity to orders from Paris, and
their proceeds are to be disposed of according tvi
the pleasure of his majesty.
That Spain, Holland and Ituly, under the like
orders, are proceeding in like manner.
That in Holland, an American ship, conveying
remittances from the American government has
been captured affid detained by the French ; and ell
this while our maiitime rights are guarded by the
solemnity of a treaty, and without any notice that
this course would be pursued ; nay, when invited
into their ports. *
And when our minister remonstrates against
these proceedings, and wishes for a decisive reply,
he is told with the utmost sang froid, that “for
some day* past nothing in the nature of business and
unconnected with the marriage of the emperour could
be transacted; and that for some days to come the
same causes of delay would continue to operate—
and yet our government retain at their court the
ambassadour of this imperial robber, and suffer our
envoy to remain a witness of the plunder and impri
sonment of his fellow-citizens.— While on the other
hand, an ambassadour of another power has been
dismissed for an expression, which has been constru
ed into mark of disrespert to our government; and
congress have been culled upon to pledge themselves
to support the administration, in thus vindicating
the dignity of the nation.
The facts are now before the puhlirk.—They do
not depend upon the authority of private letters,
nor the communications of private individuals—
hut they are stamped with the seal of stato, and
no man ran doubt their truth but be who doubts
his own existence. i
With these facts thus tafore him, every unpreju
diced man must say—Tl|£our administration are
too weak to d'Srern the difference between teal and
imaginary wrongs—or-that they do not kttow the
distinction between true dignity and affected great
ness—or that they are bewildered by their partiali
ties to one government and their antipathies to a
uother.

FLEECING THEL DUTCH. ‘

After despoiling the king of Prussia (who is piti
ed by nobody) of the greater part of his dominions,
N’Apollyon levied an extraordinary contribution of
some millions, on the-wretched monarch, who it
seems was unable to pay it. But as N’Apollyon
“ wants money and mnst have it," the Prussian
king was directed to borrow it of the Dutch. The
cunning Dutchman smoked the trick, and declined
making the lonu, allcdging that they did not know
how soon N’A Dolly on might seise the remainder of
tbe P/ussUn territory* r,BiH it was resolved not to
let the Myiflieers* get on l boa. A very curious di

mast steering sail haulyards parted, a1?d all hands
were called to haul in the pteenng sail, and take in
sail; hut owint; to the trpfpigt steering sail being
carried away the topmast steering sail boom, witrh
brought both steering sails into UieVkt.r, and both
were lost. All bands employed in taking in tail,
one man was on tbe main royal yard, lurhngthe
royal, and three on the main top gallant yard,*and
one in the main lop, the rest employed 111 clewing
down the topsails, but finding tbe squall come on
so heavy, were obliged to let Hy the topsail sheas
the helm at the same time being huve.hard to wtual
ward with the wiud got abeam, shp began to cep
size, and as soon as she got her gunwale to tbe wa
ter, in an instant capsized with hf|:pi*sts and sails*
in the water; one man was on the mam royal varl,
and three on the main top gallant yard, and four og
five in the fore castle, UifWH, and one in the ca'>?
who said when he came out of the cabin, tbe water
was rushing down in sheets as large as tbe compani
on way would admit ; notwithstanding they all got
on the ship s side. After cutting away the hkpyards
with our knives, we at length procured ort ^e, and
cutaway tbe masts, and got a rope from the lore
and mizen chains; all Winds then got hold of the
rope, end (going as near the keel as possible) by
this means righted her, and found ber%ll“of water,
h'T hatches, cabin doors and windows being open ;
at the same time the long boat and pinnace, and se
veral water casks,'were drifted among tbe spars to
windward ; we then hove^iver the guns, anchors,
&r, to lighten the ship, and endeavour to clear tbe
wreck ot the spars, figging, &c. which lay beating
against her; but our efforts were in vain as the
starboard lanyards were so deep under water
that we rnuld not come at them ; three men
then got into the small noat (which veas very'
badly stove.) who endeavoured to tow thr long
boat out from among the spars ; at tbe same
time there were men on the bottom of the
long boat and on the spars, endeavourtig to"
cut a passage fol* her, and in about two hours
got the long boat along side »f the wreck,
and nghtet her, but inund the pinnace in her
so badly siove that it was impossible to b-patr h*r.
The long boat had one ol her huts started, and •
bole in her bottom, on which acc mm we wffe ob
bligid to turn her bottom up again to drive the but
to, and stop the hole. Mr. Samuel Crafts, o* D?r- r
bv, in Connecticut!, stripped hims-lf of hisjuket'
and trowsers, and got on the bottom of the booty
and drove the but to, and stopped tbe hole in Ker‘
bo'tnm by nulling cunvas3 and rheat lead over
which we got from the stern ; we thin righted her,
and three men jumped into the boat to bale her out,
: which they effected in about fifteen m nutes; eight
j more then jumped into the boat, and shoved he*
off, for the purpose, as I then supposed, of repairing
her. Myself, with the assistance of some others,
got the guard irons and waist cloths, and some pin#
hoards, and all the tools and nails I could procure,
and pass«J them into the small boat to send th/m
iiuo the fiitgboat which was lying at about 20 or
,10 fathoms distance, still thinking they would fin
by us. Just before nignl, as the yawl was lying a
l»"l &*• taking in?tools, nails, dee. Mr. Bar-.
ncy, who was sitting eu the taffril, got into her, an#
went to the long boat. About 12 o'clock at night
they bailed us from (he boat, and requested ma to
send them a chest, and a cask of sweet^nil which
was made fast to the stern aibi-t. I it.*.

I 1 he next forenoon thg* weather being trujhWai*|
three men were employed in the yawl in jfSporing
