We may he relieved from the dangers frtf this
mission by a change ip the politicks of Russia—by
the events of the war—by the necessities ounag
nantinity ot G i eat-tMfcun ; but if none o*liese
events save us, we d^pfhave a popuUrfytaiy, a
,ty which will he
led by the democrats, and
by Hie weaker federalists, in which we shall
great deal on paper as to commercial rights,
and be pledged to lose them in the substance. Rus
- Asia; which cannot peep out of the Oult of Finland,
Undertakes to guarantee thenghtsof the ocean, whirh
th" never sees—and a t shall be pledged in honour
to defend those, rights either by submitting, to the
hard knocks of the British navy, without the aid of
nin 'ihenan allies — or by renewing our system al
konarubltr sacrifices of all our rights.
As to Russia, she will, like France, continue to
Tegpftt those stipulated Treaty Rights, precisely till
the hrst ninirniil wbui it is her interest to break
them. Nevertheless, the ambassador will acquire
jnimortai gloty, and entail on his country tudless
mischief.
Such arc my fears—l hope, however, this missi
on will prove as harmless, as it will certainly be as
useless, as the mission to Prussia fnrmely was. I
hope the minister will he able to indulgf, as he
did there,“nis taste for letters, and instead of Sile
sia, that we shall In amused with tours in b.bene,
' Crim Ipirlary, and Kinnschatka. The money of
the United States in that case will not he ill ex
pended, lor a nation cannot, in some cases, do more
wisely than to give employment at a distance to
discontented and disappointed spirits.

The resolutions now before e ongrfss for inhibit

this point, I send you a list (taken Iron) nn English

INTERESTING LAW CASE.
Received bv the lldiloi of the Boston Centinel,
from capt. Win. Woiliungton, uu letter horn 11a
lil.ix :
“ The American, of Baltimore, Worthington,
master, saikn 31st of August tor Tunnint’en, atid
on the 1-tth ill September vwis captured aud bron^ot
jnjo Halilax. lderc..se was brought forwuid on the
25<h 0''toh«r, of-whi -h the following is the Re
port :—The cupfors urged for the condemnation of
the ship and c ran upon the ground of her having
on board a Certificate of Origin, authenticated by
theT’rendi and Danish Consuls ; her voyage being
to Tonii'ngen—it became tlie sole question id the
case, .vhether live King’s Order ol the 11th No
vernier 1807, be in force so far as it respects the
condemns'ipn of vessels on hoard of which theCer
titiratr of Origin shall be found, and the property
of the person on whose behalf the Certificate was
put on l)i>.oil. On the part of the ruplms it wag
urged, that the Order of the 11th November was
in all respects in full force, except as to an alterati
on of the genera! blockade, which, by the Order of
the 1 ltl) November was either expressed or in
tended by the Order of live 2(nh April ; hot that
on the contrary, the late order of the ‘27th of May,
completely recognizes that of the 1 1th November
with the alteration before mentioned. Oil the part
of the claim mts, it was insisted, that by the express
voids of the Order of the 26th of April the whole
of tj»e Order of the I 1th November is revoked, ex
cept that part of it which relates to the blockade of
art of il
and the trade with bis colonies
’s pqfts
the enemy
Is of file
le Order being “ That his majesty
—the words
is pleased to revoke end annul tlie several Ordets
therein vmentioned except as hereinafter expiess
ed.” The claimants further contended ; that no
thing is after expressed in the order of April but
what relates to the general blockade and the trade
of the colonies, anti that the provisions of that Or
der are evident proofs of its meaning, and serve
clearly to shew that if his majesty intended to have
kept ui tot. e that part of the Order of the lltli
November relative to the Cert’fic.ite ol Origin, the
Ordernf April would so express itself It was al
- so observed tor the claimants, that although the or
der of the 2-till May mentions that of^fve 11th No
vember, it invariably talks of it as altered by the
erdet of the 26'lh April. The court, however, was
of opinion with the captors, and a sentence of con
demnation of the ship and -dtnjflo pronounced by
the judie» who admitted tharftiere was ap obscu
rity in the order of the 26 th April ; a satisfactory
explanation of which might be obtained by an ap
peal on tlie part of live claimants. The ship and
' cargo weru owned by the samftpertan; and her
cargo consisted of Martiuico and Hosannah tjgigar
acid Logwood.
“ N. B. The Jitdge expressed a doubt whether
en is not r,«w under a blockade, as it was
Ton
rffso by n pro^laimiturn of October 1807'.—

Dear Sir,
- *'$0 Vv:> **'
I have just seen a g
who if in
•|^'fr°ni Natrhes." He left that place M
which time 1500 of the troops hid -
at Washington, flt the neighbourhood ef Nat.:hes.
About 200 had died between New-Grleans and the
place at which they now are, and almost ever}' one
that has arrived, is incapable of doing 'Siuty, owing
to sickness. He t tales that of 1500, there are not
<)0 who are perfectly free from some disorder nr o
tner, although tiie officers are generally hi goad
health. When he left Notches, three gun boats were
about 20 miles below, containing artillery and rifle
men who are parailiug on to head-quarters. Gen.
Wilkinson was still there, waiting as he understood,
for the arrival of Gen. Hampton. This last gen
tleman, my informant adds, he met between Nash
ville and Franklin in Tennessee, on the 24tfi oh.
hastening on to take the command of the army.—
Before Wilkinson left New-Otleans, he ordered out
a detachment of soldiers to put him a sugar planta
tion in order for cultivation, in the swamps, upon
which important expedition, 40 died. The distur
bance at Oilcans have eonsilferably abated. The
yellow-fever has been particularly fatal to the
t'rencbineR lately imported from St. Jago.
B iltimore, Dec. 27.
A Spanish 74, arrived at Porto Rico on the 22d
ult. in distress, in 33 days from Havana, hound to
Cadiz, having on board 6 millions of dollars, pro
duce and ammunition valued at two and a half milli
ons, a lieutenant general, a lieutenant colonel, and
70 naval officers, called home to Spain. Shecame
m with a British frigate, who fell in with her in so
le.iky a conditio*; that the commander agreed to ac
company her into port.
New-York, December 27.
We have been favoured with a list of the slops
composing lord Collingwnod's squadron in the Me
diterranean, in the month of October last. At
that tune he had under his command 22 ships of
the line, 18 frigates and 20 sloops nl war.
The British have a fleet olf Cadiz, ol 7 ships of
the line and S frigates.
We presume that the report of a French fleet
having escaped from Totiinn is premature. At
least it is pretty certain, that the information re
ceived via Philadelphia, ol lord Collmgwood having
srnt a cutter to England lor' a lcintnrcernent, not
being aide to attack toe French fleet, is untrue ; as
lord Collingwond’s force was superior to that of the
french, and it it was true that the French fleet had
got oot, there is no doubt hut he would have enga
ged them.

Yesterday several ladies, who have been inhn

II" is, it possible, more rancorous than ever in his

Thursday, Dei. 08.
The order of the day was ailed on the resolutions
Irom the Si note by Mr. Goodwin. Motion »or in
deiinite postponement under consideration.
Mr. Stanford lose and expressed Ins disapproba.
tion of the resolutions. fJe took the ground ol Mr.
Macon in some measure. II s speech was an aide
one, and sernnd to very few delivered on the Hour.
How the majority will be able to get over Ins argu
ments we know not.
Mr. Quincy rose, and in one of the most impres
sive speeches yet delivered on the floor on this iui
pmtant subject, reprobated the resolutions.
He declared that this was not one of those holi
day resolutions which “ frets and fumes its hour up
on the stage” and is forgolteuforever—But that it
would stand on record when and our passions are j
no more remembered.
Mr. Quincy was proceeding in a strain of elo
quence not often exceeded on this floor, when he
was taken suddenly ill, and was forced to sit down.
Mr. Gar denier then rose, and in a short hutvner
gelick and impressive speech, urged the propriety o!
postponing the lesolulions indetimtively. Mr. Gar
denier spoke to the question of postponement biiIv,
and to the consequences ol the resolutions without
going into a general examination of the propriety
of the President’s conduct in the dismissal of Mr.
Jackson. ....
Mr. Pitkin followed Mr. Gardenier, ami in a very
sensible and argumentative speech went into an ex
amination of the resolutions, proving their inutility
and evil tendency to the Ration. He was proceed
ing in his observations, when Ur. Wilson observing
that it was late, made a motion for adjournment,
which was carried.
Friday, Dec. o.Q.
Mr. Levis presented the j<>int petition of the Le

stating tiiat the Pnmmon jail of that county Was
entirely incompetent for the purposes intended, and
praying that authority may be granted for the build

priation for that purpose may be made. Reiqj^jed

Mr. Taylor from the committee to whom was
referred the letter from I. A. Coles, reported- that
they had enquired into, that unfortunate ufl'air, and
have found from depositions on the subject, (which
were read) that the said I. A. Coles did make an

mencrd yesterday, Fie attempted to
lie toifna in the letters alluded to. But said he, sup
posing that the insult was as rleer as noon-day, and
w.is known to he intended by Mr. Jackson, is it
wise is it politic lor us ul^uss such a resolution
as this ? it is said the honour of the nation is at
slake. Is this to heal it3 wounds Ms it for the ho
nour of the nation louse such women’s-weapons?
Mr. Gardtnitr again urged the indefinite post

A motion lor adjournment was made and lost.
Mr. Livermore spoke a lew words in favour of
