master informed the gdfernour that tie pro
phet fDdtbe Ki<;kapoo tribe had refused to receive
the Sbarrels of salt destined for them—that the
?. prophet’s JbroLher bad insulted him in the grossest
, mawier (tb« prophet being present shading him vio
> J«tly by the banr^fi# w4L»»««W^lher» of his
^ crew,) and askeilfnem Whether they were Acieri*
^ ..cans, (they were all Fiench men.) -
jLv . Mr. Bouillet, a trader, .who was suspected of be
ing in the employment of the government was also
a. insulted, maos to deny that he, whs an American,
. and bis bouse plundered of his provisions and other
*»,*rticli a. -The prophet sent word to the governour.
That his people should not come any nearer him,
that^jhey should not settle on Vermillion rivei'—
'f le smelt them too strong already."
The governour being loath to create an alarm un
til there should appear an absolute necessity fo^ it,
from the great injury it might produce by stopping
* the emigration toJjie country, and perhaps diiv
* ing off some of tWr frontiers settlers, had not hi
^therto made p obi irk any part of the information
he had received—hut as the danger appeared to him
- to be extremely threatening on the 18th instant,
he assembled 17 or 18-nf the leading citizens, viz.
i The Secretary of the.territory, a judge of the Su
preme court, the representatives of Know county,
the register of the land-office, rouuty-ofticers, mer
* chants, &c. and having laid before them the infor
mation he bad received, requested their advice upon
the subject of taking measures for putting the roun
try in a state of defence ; this was unanimously ad
.vised, as well as the immediate ordering of 2 com
panies of the militia into actual servi^.
Whilst these measures were progressing, a princi
pal Pouwatimje chief arrived, being sent by the re
presentatives of 1(5 villages west of the Wabash,
to inform the governour that they had abandoned
, the prophet, and had thrown away the tomahawk
which lie had put into their hands. This revoluti
on io their minds was produced l-y the. forcible re
^^csentalions of the Delawaie deputies above men
^tioned, tu a council which was convened the latter
, end ol May, somewhere in the neighbourhood of
St. Joseph’s on lake Michigan.
The governour assures the editor, that the thief
who brought the above information is entirely to he
depended upon. His fidelity to the United States,
«nd personal friendship lor hi.n, having been mani
fested in every transaction with the Indians since
the treaty of Grenville. -
S'"' *1 wo young Frenchmen arrived front Fort Wayne
' -blast right, as they passed the town of the prophet,
tbev weredcsiied by Mr. .Ronillett, to inform the
IJovernour, that every thing appeared to be above
the prophet’s town, but Inal another council was
shortly to be held.
1 here are not more than 400 warriors at the
town where the prophet resides, and the governour
thinks (hat the whole uumber which still adhere to
kiw dots not exceed twice thut number. Notwith
stcnd.ug the above favourable appearances, we un
derstand the governour will not countermand the nr
der for turning oot the militia, until be discovers
what measures will be takui by the piophet upon
tbia defection of his followers.

Baltwore, July 28.
V After, the.Aurora came forward with many im
.pmtant letters, contained in the pamphlet from
. which the Intelligencer extracted the correspou
j dence we copied a lew days ago, the editor of the
government paper, though he had pronounced them
Itj he .all remaining unpublished, tardily prndores
the others with which our paper is crowded to day,
, and for the suppression of which he apologises, bv
saying, that he made the mistake in a harry.
>r The entire collection mainly enforces several po
^ ski cos, with which the public are already familiar.
1st. That the administration were heartily tired of
the embargo, and wished to gel rid uf it hy any
shift they could avail themselves of ; 2d. That the
proposals npon which the orders in council were of
Jcfed to he rescinded, proceeded fiom our adminis
tration—from Mr, Madison, Mr. Gallatin and Mr.
Smith*though they afterwards declined to rerog
mze ln*ir, find «*vpn treated the bare proposal as !
t an insult ; 3d. That Mr. Ei skins shamefully aban
donmg.his duty, sufl'trcd himself (o he moulded hy
: them like a piece of wax, to suit their views ; and J
‘i s 4th. That though Mr. Madison and Mr. Smith
gave the most pointed and explicit assurance,' that ,
the consequence of the removal of the orders of
council would be an immediate war with France,
they were insincere in their promises..
... A few words of explanation will set the fast point.
Ml a fleer view. They affected to regard the con
tusionof the. arrangement, with Erskinc, as hav
' log given a quietus to the orders, and therefore re
^stoked the non-intercourse law as to England. This
./ was the opportunity to prove their sincerity,—
Fronts the middle of April to the middle of July,
1809 ; that is to say, from the conclusion of the
arrangement to the disavowal, they acted as if the
orders were extinguished by it. They carried mto
v. effect the power to annul the suspension of inter
t fouis* with Great Britain, which could be legally
.. exercised poly on the previous condition of the
3 orders in council being revoked. But did they
take any side against France, as they so vehe
v, totally promised they would 1 They did directly
A the,reverse of this. Congress held a session in
kj,this interval—but no recommendation was made
,>; to go to .war against Franee, or to confirm per*
. maneutly. the condition of nop-intercourse, upon
t which tiie fr/angeinent was bottomed. Instead of
r^pny thing of this nature taking place, French ves
sels were virtually relieved frojp its operation.—
The non-intercourse contained applause, which pro
hibited armed as well as unarmed vessels from
".the. use of nur ports : this clause was now re
pealed, and French armed vessels,-contrary fo. the
; faith of the arrangement, and in a flat Contradir
» tion to all the frothy professions, so greedily swat*
Vwedjmd repeated hy Erskioe to his government,,
jtihat the administratiua would take side with Eng*
% land against France. '' A |
^ne word m to the passage* in which Mr. Erv
kine speaks of the opposition l» lb* embargo,, com*
pelting its abandonment by the fear of ftp dividing
the onion. We frankly admit as oor opinion, that
it would, if nut^fc longer persisted in,hsfe produced
a civil war, an4 mott probablydidided tbe union.-~
i’hie vu apparent to all. It ti even reproachfully
urged by; the Aurora and other violent Galjirpn 1
prints, that this fear, bad so powerful an influence
upon the embargo junto, as to frighten them into a
removal of it. Of this fear the most dextrous use
was made by the junto through the mere medium of
congress, to get: rid of 4 measure which they had
extolled, but now willing to .surrender upon any
plausible pretext, lest they should lose their power
and offices, ftlr. Erskint’s associations were exclu
sively with democrats of this most inveterate and
malicious order. He had none of the confidence at
distinguished federalists; and if it had been other
wise, be was too notoriously the tool fdadministra
tion, to listen to any thing they could impatt, either
as information or advice. He therefore unmolested
ly ran tbe race, which ended in his destruction,- end
had nearly embroiled the two countries beyond recall.
His reward has been the reproof of his own coun
try, the contempt of this, and the derision of even
his betrayers. Whatever were his virtues or his
faults, they had no communion with federalists._
His weaknesses were natural, and his iuformers and
guides were democrats.
Federal Republican.
The Non-Intercourse I,am—Those who flatter
themselves with the expectation that the infliction
of the measures taken by France to punish us for
this law, will cease with the law, do not attend to
the construction put upon that which was adopted
in its stead by the executive, who have excluded all
armed vessels of every description, belonging to her
nr to England. This interpretation has been an
nounced and published in the form of Iteasury in
structions. Neither France nor England has afloat
any but armed vessels, except a few craft belong
ing to the latter, and plying between onr ports and
the neighbouring islands of the West Indies. France
therefore remains as formerly excluded as she was
before, though the indulgence to her privateers, by
connivance at their violations, will no doubt conti
nue as liberal as they were under the obnoxious law
itself. " , ,
As to England, the late orders respecting the fish
eries and .the blockades, to enforce which, in and
near the Ballirk, sir James Snomarftz has been ap
pointed, it either should prove to have been intend
ed to ailecl us, on arrount nl the existence of the
non intercourse, their efficacy will most certainly
not be suspended in condescension to any ameliora
lion the l^w of last session may have indured. For,
with the insignificant,exception of the West India
rralt, above alluded to, the British flag remains as
rigidly excluded from our ports as under the old law.

LATEST FROM CADIZ.
Captain Bolen, who arrived at this port yester
day, in 53 days from Cadiz, informs, that about
the 25th of May, a bailie was fought by ibe Eng
lish and Portuguese armies against the French, in
which the latter wer; defeated. rl lie conmiunirsth
on between the besieging army nf.Cadiz and Madrid
was cut off. 1 be English troops in Cadiz weie pre
paring on the 2d of June to make a sortie on the
French, in consequence of the news of their defeat
on the frontiers of Portugal, expecting that the
British and Portuguese army would attack the
French troops besieging Cadiz.
The bombardment of Matagorda from an oppo
site fort was so severp, that the French had dis
mounted tbeir cannon at that place, and the people
in Cadiz were in very high spirits, and in full ex
pectation of getting rid of their invaders. Hoar
was 20 dollars, but the recent ai rivals of four Ame
rican vessels had reduced the price.'
Capt. B. further informs that fsOOO troops had
recently arrived, and that when he sailed 15 trans
ports were heating in.

“ The British and Portuguese are nearly 100,000
strong and in high spirits. The marshal Massena,
has arrived at Salamanca and taken command of the
French army, and is to be made viceroy of Portu
gal in case he succeeds in subduing it. Cadiz sti+fe'
holds out, and has a sufficient force to stand a long
siege.
** An insurrection has broke out in the island ol
Minorca, the Spaniards being dissatisfied in some
commercial restrictions, and wished to put the isl
and under the government of the English. The
Spaniards have sent 3000 m*n to quell the insnr- j
rection. I

TROM PORTUGAL.
Oo Sunday arrived the «rh'r Genera) Johnson,
rapt. Davis, fiom Lisbon ; whence she sailed on the
10th ult. The Anglo-Forlugiuse army was near the
French on the frontiers, towards Ciudad Rodrigo—
and a great battle was momently expected. The
French had been strengthened by fresh troops, and,
\ the English were frequently receiving reinforcements
—Marshal Massena had arrived to command the
operations against-TortugaCi /There had be»n seve
; ral small affairs in which the French bad eulered
the Portuguese territory. The inhabitants of Lis
* bon were sanguine in their confidence of security ;
but this may be a better evidence of their ■patriot
ism, than of the ability of the country to withstand
the French myriads. They evince fn every way
| their detestation of their insatiable enemies, and
\ emigration would probably be general if the luvad
| ers were successful. Capt.D. brought Lisbon pa
pers to the 8-tli of June, but their contents are not
| important. Nothing interesting had been beard
from Cadis, or any port of Spain.
