NATIONAL LEGISLATURE.
NINTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
It is on the following important Documents that Congress are supposed to have been debating for some days with closed doors. They were communicated to the Senate by the President of the U. States on Friday.
MESSAGE
From the President of the United States, transmitting Documents and Papers relative to Complaints by the Government of France, against the Commerce carried on by American Citizens to the French Island of St. Domingo.
TO THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
In compliance with the request of the Senate, expressed in their resolution of Dec. 27, I now lay before them such documents and papers (there being no other information in my possession) as relate to complaints by the government of France, against the commerce carried on by the citizens of the United States, to the French island of St. Domingo.
TH: JEFFERSON. January 10th, 1806.
From General Turreau to the Secretary of State.
OCT. 14, 1805.
The undersigned minister plenipotentiary of his imperial and royal majesty, to his excellency the President of the United States of America, has testified in his conversation with the secretary of state, his just discontent with the commercial relations, which many citizens of different states of the Union maintain with the rebels of every color, who have momentarily withdrawn the colony of St. Domingo from the legal authority.
The principles injuriously affected by such a commerce, or rather by such a system of robbery (brigandage) are so evident, so generally acknowledged, and adopted not only by all nations, who have a colonial system to defend, but even by those who have none: and moreover even by every wise people to whatsoever political aggregation they may belong; that the statesman, if he has not lost every idea of justice, of humanity, and of public law, can no more contest their wisdom, than their existence.—And certainly the undersigned, in finding himself called by his duty, as well as by his inclination, in the bosom of a friendly people, and near the respectable chief who directs its government; certainly the undersigned ought not to have expected that his first political relation would have for their object, a complaint so serious, an infraction so manifest of law, the most sacred, and the best observed by every nation under the dominion of civilization.
But it was not enough for some citizens of the United States, to convey munitions of every kind to the rebels of St. Domingo, to that race of African Slaves, the reproach, and the refuse of nature; it was moreover necessary to insure the success of this ignoble and criminal traffic by the use of force. The vessels destined to protect it are constructed, loaded, armed, in all the ports of the Union, under the eyes of the American people, of its particular authority, and of the federal government itself; and this government, which has taken for the basis of its political career, the most scrupulous equity, and the most impartial neutrality, does not forbid it.
Without doubt, and notwithstanding the profound consideration with which the minister plenipotentiary of the French empire is penetrated for the government of the Union; he might enlarge still farther upon the reflections suggested by such a state of things, a circumstance so important, so unexpected. But it would be equally as reflecting for him to dwell upon it, to state its consequences, as it would be for the government to hear them.
The secretary of state, who perfectly knows the justice of the principles, and the legitimacy of the rights referred to in this note, will be of opinion that neither are susceptible of discussion; because a principle universally assented to, a right generally established, is never discussed, or at least is discussed in vain. The only way open for the redress of these complaints, is to put an end to the tolerance which produces them, and which daily aggravates these consequences.
Moreover this note, founded upon facts not less evident than the principles which they infract, does not permit the undersigned to doubt that the government of the United States will take the most prompt, as well as the most effectual prohibitory measures, in order to put an end to its cause; and he seizes with eagerness this occasion of renewing to the secretary of state, the assurance of his high consideration.
(Signed) TURREAU. Faithfully translated. J. WAGNER, Chief Clerk, Department State.

General Torreau, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Imperial and Royal Majesty, to Mr. Madison, Secretary of State.
WASHINGTON, 2d. Jan. 1806.
SIR—Formal orders of my government oblige me to insist upon the contents of my official note, of the 14th of October, relative to the commerce, which some inhabitants of the United States, maintains with the rebels of St. Domingo.
Not receiving any answer to that note, I had room to hope, that the government of the Union would take prompt and effectual measures to put an end to the causes which produced it; but your silence towards me, especially in relation to St. Domingo, and that of your government towards Congress, imposes upon me the duty of recalling to your recollection the said official note, and of renewing to you my complaints upon the sufferance given to an abuse, as shocking as contrary to the law of nations, as it is to the treaty of peace and friendship existing between France and the United States.
I will not return, Sir, to the different circumstances which have attended the commerce with the revolted part of St. Domingo to the scandalous publicity given to its shameful success; to the rewards and encomiums professed upon the crews of armed vessels, whose destination is to protect the voyages, to carry munition of every kind to the rebels, and thus to nourish rebellion and robbery.
You ought not to be surprised, Sir, that I call anew the attention of the American government to this subject.—His excellency Mr. Talleyrand has already testified his discontent to Gen. Armstrong, your minister plenipotentiary at Paris; and you will be of opinion that it is at length time to pursue formal measures against every adventure to the ports of St. Domingo occupied by the rebels. The system of tolerance which suffers its being armed, which encourages by impunity its extension and its excess, cannot longer remain; and the Emperor and King my master, expects from the dignity and the candor of the government of the union, that an end will be put to it promptly.
I add to this dispatch a copy of the official note, which has already been transmitted to you. I earnestly request, that you acknowledged the receipt of both, and receive anew assurances of
(Signed) TURREAU.
Faithfully Translated,
J. WAGNER, Chief Clerk, Department State.
From Mr. Talleyrand to Gen. Armstrong, without date, but received in Gen. Armstrong's letter to the Secretary of State of the 10th of August, 1805.
SIR—I have several times had the honor to call your attention to the commerce carried on from the ports of the United States to those of St. Domingo occupied by the rebels. These commercial communications would appear to be almost daily increased. In order to cover their true destination, the vessels are cleared for the West Indies, without a more particular designation of the place, and with the aid of these commissions, provisions, arms, and other objects of supply, of which they stand in need, are carried to the rebels of St. Domingo.
Although these adventures may be no more than the result of private speculations, the government of the United States is not the less engaged to put an end to them, by a consequence of the obligations which bind together all the civilized powers, all those who are in a state of peace. No government can second the spirit of revolt of the subjects of another power; and, as in this state of things, it cannot maintain communications with them, it ought not to favor those which its own subjects maintain.
It is impossible that the government of the United States, should longer shut its eyes upon the communications of their commerce with St. Domingo. The adventures for that island, are making with a scandalous publicity. They are supported by armed vessels—at their return, seals are given, in order to vaunt the success of their speculations; and the acknowledgement, even the eulogies of the government are so much relied upon, that is at these seals, and in the midst of an immense concourse, where are found the first authorities of the country, that the principles of the government of Hayti are celebrated, and that vows are made for its duration.
I have the honour, Sir, to transmit to your Excellency, an extract of an American journal, in which are contained sundry details of a feast, given in the port of New York, on board of a convoy which had arrived from St. Domingo.
The ninth coast, given to the government of Hayti, cannot fail, Sir, to excite your indignation. It is not, after having covered everything with blood and with ruin, that the rebels of St. Domingo, ought to have found apologists in a nation, the friend of France.
But they do not stop at their first speculations. The company of merchants; which gave a feast on the return of their adventure, is preparing a second convoy, and propose to place it under the escort of several armed vessels.
I have the honor, Sir, to give you this information, in order that you may be pleased to call the most serious attention of your government towards a series of facts, which it becomes its dignity and candor, no longer to permit. The federal government, cannot so far separate itself from the inhabitants of the United States, as to permit to them, acts and communications, which it thinks itself bound to interdict to itself; or, as to think that it can disingenuously its own responsibility from that of its subjects, when there is in question an unparalleled revolt, whose circumstances, and whose horrible consequences, must alarm all nations, and who are equally interested in seeing it cease.
France ought to expect from the amity of the United States, and his Majesty charges me, Sir, to request in his name, that they interdict
every private adventure, which under any pretext or designation whatsoever, may be directed to the ports of St. Domingo, occupied by the rebels.
Receive, general, the assurances of my high consideration.
(Signed) CH. M. TALLEYRAND. To his Excellency, General Armstrong.
Minister Plenipotentiary of the U. States, Faithfully translated.
J. WAGNER, Chief Clerk, Department State.
From Mr. TALLEYRAND, to Gen. ARMSTRONG, PARIS, 29th Thermidor, 13th year, (16th Aug. 1805.)
SIR, Since the letter I had the honor to write to you on the 2d Thermidor, concerning the armaments which were making in the ports of the United States for the western parts of St. Domingo, fresh information upon this point, confirms every thing which had been received. The adventures to St. Domingo, are publicly made; vessels are armed for war, to protect the convoys; and it is in virtue of contracts, entered into between Dessalines and American merchants, that the latter send him supplies and munitions of war.
I add, Sir, to the letter, which I have the honor to write to you, a copy of a sentence given at Halifax in the matter of a merchant of New-York, who had conveyed into the revolted part of St. Domingo, three cargoes of gun powder, and who was taken on his return by an English frigate.
It even in the English tribunal, where this prize was condemned, the whole island of St. Domingo was considered as a French colony, how can the federal government tolerate that the rebels of this colony, should continue to receive from America, succors against the parent country? It is impossible that that government should be ignorant of the armaments making in its ports. Too much publicity is given to them, not to render it reasonable, and it ought to perceive that it is contrary to every system of peace and good friendship, to suffer longer in its ports, armaments evidently directed against France.
Without doubt the federal government would not wish, in order to favour certain private speculations, to give new facilities to rebellion and robbery (brigandage); and tolerance of commerce so scandalous would be unworthy of it.—Neither your government nor his majesty can be any longer indifferent to it; and as the seriousness of the facts, which occasion this complaint, obliges his majesty to consider as good prize every thing which shall enter the port of St. Domingo, occupied by the rebels, and every thing coming out, he persuades himself, that the government of the United States, will take, on its part, against this commerce, at once illicit and contrary to all the principles of the law of nations, all the repressive and authoritative measures proper to put an end to it. This system of impunity and tolerance can no longer continue; and his majesty is convinced, that your government will think it due from its frankness promptly to put an end to it.
Receive, Sir, the assurances of my high consideration.
(Signed) CH. M. TALLEYRAND. To his Excellency, General Armstrong.

IN SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
JANUARY 20TH, 1806.
A BILL,
For the protection and indemnification of American Seamen.
WHEREAS, by the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, made between his Britannic Majesty and the United States, at London, on the nineteenth day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, by the first article of said treaty, it is agreed, "That there shall be a firm, inviolable and universal peace, and a true and sincere friendship between his Britannic majesty, his heirs and successors and the United States of America; and between their respective countries, territories, cities, towns, and people of every degree, without exception of persons or places." And whereas, in direct violation of said treaty, his Britannic Majesty has caused to be impressed out of the ships of the United States, sailing on the high seas, divers citizens of said United States; and has compelled them to serve on board the ships of war of his said Britannic majesty, in violation of their liberty, and at the hazard of their lives; and in despite of the remonstrance of the government of said United States, continues said unjust practice; and the seamen of the United States so impressed, by force, retains in his service. And whereas, the United States are solemnly bound to protect all those who are bound in allegiance to said United States.—Therefore,
Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United
States of America, in Congress assembled, That from and after the day of next, any person or persons, who shall impress any seamen on board any vessel bearing the flag of the United States, upon the high seas, or in any river, haven, basin or bay, under pretext or color of a commission from any foreign power, shall for every such offence be adjudged a pirate and felon; and on conviction shall suffer death. And the trial in any such case may be had where the offender is apprehended, or may be first brought.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for any American seamen, sailing under the flag of the United States, on any person attempting to impress him by force, from on board any vessel of the United States, upon the high seas or in any river, haven, basin, or bay, to repel such force by shooting, or otherwise killing and destroying the person or persons so attempting to impress him, and shall, as an encouragement to resist, be entitled to a bounty of two hundred dollars, to be paid to him or his order, or legal representatives, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That on information being given to the President of the United States, proving satisfactorily to him, that any citizen of the United States, who shall have been impressed or forced by violence or threats, to enter on board any foreign vessel, shall suffer death, or any other corporal punishment by the authority of such foreign power; it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, to cause the most rigorous and exact retaliation on any subjects of that government, whom he is hereby authorized to seize and take for that purpose.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That every American seamen heretofore or hereafter impressed and compelled to serve on board any foreign ship or vessel, shall be entitled to receive as an indemnification for his slavery and hardships on board the ship in which he has been, or shall be compelled to serve, from the day of his impressment, the sum of sixty dollars per month, for every month he has, or shall serve, on board said ship or ships; and that the said seaman, his heirs, executors administrators, or assigns, shall be entitled to recover the same in the district court of the state in which the port lies, from which the vessel cleared, for the voyage in which he was taken, by attachment of any private debt, due from any citizen of the United States, to any subject of that government, by whose subjects he had been impressed; and that any sums of money so attached out of the hands of any debtor, shall be a payment of so much of said debt, and may be pleaded in payment or discount to the amount of the said sum so attached, and all the costs of said attachment, which shall be allowed as a payment of that amount in any suit for said debt. And that so much of the treaty of London, of nineteenth November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, as secures the inviolability of such debts, as will be infringed by the attachment or recoveries, hereby authorised, shall not (so far as is necessary in the execution of this act only) be regarded as obligatory on the citizens of the United States.

Details of the Operations of the Grand FRENCH ARMY.

Sixteenth Bulletin of the Grand Army.
RIED, 11th Brumaire, 2d Nov. year 14. Prince Murat continued his pursuit of the enemy, and arrived on the 9th before Lambach. The Austrian generals, seeing that their troops could no longer hold out, made 8 Russian battalions advance to protect their retreat. The 17th regiment of infantry of the line, the 1st rangers and the 8th dragoons charged the Russians with impetuosity, and, after a brisk fire of musketry, threw them into disorder & followed them as far as Lambach. We made 500 prisoners, among whom about a hundred are Russians.
On the 10th in the morning, Prince Murat writes that Gen. Walter, with his division of cavalry, took possession of Wels. The division of dragoons of general Beaumont, and the first division of the corps of the army took position at Lambach. The bridge upon the Traun was cut down; Marshal Davoust caused it to be replaced by a bridge of boats. The enemy attempted to defend the left bank. Colonel Valterre, of the 10th regiment, rushed one of the fits into a boat and crossed the river. Gen. Biffon making his dispositions to cross over, received a ball in the arm.
Another division of the corps of Marshal Davoust is beyond Lambach on the road to Steyer. The rest of his corps of the army is on the heights of Lambach.
Marshal Soult will arrive this evening at Wels.
Marshal Lannes will arrive this evening at Lintz.
General Marmont is marching to turn the position of the river of the Enns.
Prince Murat bestows great praise on colonel Couroux, the commander of the 17th regiment of infantry of the line. It would be impossible for the troops under any circumstances, to shew more impetuosity and courage.
At the moment of his arrival at Salzburg, Marshal Bernadotte detached general Kellerman at the head of his advanced guard in pursuit of a column of the enemy, which was retreating by the road of Carinthia. It sheltered itself behind the fort of Pasing in the defile of Calling. However strong its position might be, the carabineers of the 17th regiment of light infantry attacked it with impetuosity. General Werle made captain Campobene go round the fort by almost impracticable ways—Five thousand men, three of whom are officers, were made prisoners. The enemy's column, three thousand men strong, was dispersed in the heights. We have found such a quantity of arms there, that we are in hopes of picking up a great many prisoners. General Kellerman bestows great praise on the commander of the chief of battalion Serbe Lator. General Werle had his coat shot to rags.
Our advanced posts write from Wels, that the Emperor of Germany arrived there on the 25th October; that he there learned the fate of his army of Ulm, and that he was convinced with his own eyes of the frightful ravages which the Russians are committing every where and of the extreme discontent of his people. It is asserted that he returned to Vienna without alighting from his carriage.
The ground is covered with snow; the rains are over! the cold has set in, it is pretty rigorous; it is not a beginning of November, but a January. This weather being drier, has the advantage of being wholesomer and more favorable to our march.
SEVENTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
LAMBACH, 13th Brumaire, 3d Nov. year 14. To day, the 12th, Marshal Davoust has advanced posts near Steyer. Gen. Milheud, with the reserve of the cavalry under the orders of Prince Murat, entered Lintz on the 10th. Marshal Lannes arrived there on the 12th, with his corps of the army. Considerable magazines were found at Lintz, the inventories of which are not yet arrived, in the hospitals were many sick, among whom were 100 Russians. Some prisoners were taken, among whom were fifty Russians.
In the action of Lambach were two pieces of Russian cannon among those taken. A Russian general and a colonel of Austrian hussars were killed.
The wound which Gen. Biffon, commander of the first division of the corps of the army of Marshal Davoust, has received in the arm, is sufficiently serious to prevent his serving during the rest of the campaign. It is, however, not dangerous. The emperor has given the command of this division to Gen. Caffarelli.
Since our crossing the Inn, we have taken between fifteen and eighteen hundred prisoners, Austrians and Russians, without comprising the sick.
The corps of Gen. Marmont set off from Lambach on the 12th at 12 o'clock.
The emperor has established his head-quarters at Lambach, where it is presumed he will pass the whole night of the 12th.
The season continues very rigorous; the ground is covered with snow, and the weather very cold.
At Lambach, magazines of salt were found to the value of several millions. In the chest of Lintz were several hundred thousand florids.
The Russians have laid every thing waste at Wels, Lambach, and all the surrounding villages. In some villages they have killed eight or ten peasants.
Vienna is in the utmost agitation and disorder. It is said that the Emperor of Austria, is settled at the convent of the Benedictines of Molk. It appears that the rest of the month of November will see great and important events.
Mr. Lexay, Minister of France at Saltzburgh, had an audience of the emperor at the moment his majesty was setting off from Braunau. He had not till then ceased to reside at Saltzburgh.
There is no news of Mr. Larochefoucauld; he is tho' to be still at Vienna. At the moment when the Austrian army crossed the Inn, he asked for his passport, which was refused him.
PARIS, 24th Brumaire.
Eighteenth Official Bulletin of the Grand Army.
LINTZ, 14th Brumaire, year 14. Prince Murat does not lose sight of the enemy. The enemy had left in Ebersberg, three or four hundred men to prevent the passage of the Traun; but the dragoons of General Walter threw themselves into boats, and under the protection of the artillery, impetuously attacked the city. Lieut. Villander was the first who

crossed in a little boat. On. Winter, after having passed the bridge over the Prun, proceeded by the Ems. The brigade of General Milhaud met the enemy at the village of Asten, routed them, pursued them quite into the Ems, and made 200 prisoners, fifty of whom are Russian officers. Twenty Russian officers have been killed. The rear of the Austrian troops supported by the Russian cavalry, has been totally routed, neither of them have withstood a single charge. The 22d and 23d Chasseurs and their colonels, Lutona, Maubourg and Darosel, have shown the greatest bravery. Prince Murat's aid de camp, Fiahaux, has received a ball in his arm. During the thirteen hours, we passed the Ems and to day Prince Murat is in pursuit of the enemy. Marshal Davoust arrived on the 12th at Steyer; on the 13th he took possession of the city, and has made 200 prisoners; the enemy evinced a disposition to defend it. General Beaumont's division of dragoons has supported its reputation. The aid de camp of General Beaumont has been killed. Both the bridges on the Ems are entirely repaired. At the battle of Lantzen, the Austrian Colonel de Gressen, and the Russian Colonel Koloffkin, have been killed. The Austrian Emperor, who has arrived at Lintz has received the complaints of the Regency, concerning the bad conduct of the Russians who are not content with plundering, but have beaten the peasants, which has caused a great number of villages to be deserted. The Emperor appeared very much affected at these outrages, and said that he could not answer for the Russian troops, in the same manner as for his own; that they must suffer patiently; which has afforded no consolation to the inhabitants.
A considerable number of warehouses were found at Lintz, and a great quantity of clothes and military great coats in the Imperial manufactories.
General Deroi, at the head of a corps of Bavarians, has fallen in at Livers with the van of a column of five Austrian regiments from Italy, completely routed it, and has taken 400 prisoners and three pieces of cannon. The Bavarians fought with extreme bravery. Deroi himself was wounded by a pistol shot.
These little engagements have afforded room for the display of a great number of instances of courage on the part of particular officers. The Major General is employed in drawing up a full relation, in which each one will receive the share of glory which his courage shall have merited.
The Inns may be considered as the last line which defends the approaches to Vienna. It is reported, that the enemy intends to keep possession of and intrench himself behind the heights of Sainte Hippolyte, ten leagues from Vienna. Our van will be there to-morrow.
Nineteenth Official Bulletin of the Grand Army.
LENTZ, 15th Brumaire, year 14.
The battle of Lovers was very brilliant for the Bavarians. The Austrians occupied beyond Lovers a defile almost inaccessible, flanked to the right and left by perpendicular mountains. The top was covered with Tyrolean Chasseurs who were acquainted with all the paths; three forts of stone work enclosed the mountains and rendered access to them almost impossible.
After a vigorous resistance, the Bavarians routed the enemy everywhere, took two pieces of cannon and made themselves masters of all the forts. But at the attack of the last, Lieutenant Gen. Deroi, commander in chief of the Bavarian army, was wounded by a pistol shot. The Bavarians have had twelve officers killed or wounded, 50 soldiers killed and 250 wounded. The conduct of Lieut. Gen. Deroi merits the highest eulogium: he is an old and honourable officer, extremely attached to the Elector, whose friend he is.
Every moment has been so employed, that the Emperor has not yet been able to review the Bavarian army, nor to become acquainted with the brave men who compose it.
Prince Murat, after the taking of Ems, pursued the enemy anew. The Russian army had taken a position on the heights of Amstetten; Prince Murat attacked it with Gen. Oudinot's grenadiers; the battle was obstinately contested. The Russians were driven from all their posts, and have left 400 dead on the field of battle, and 1500 prisoners. Prince Murat praises Gen. Oudinot in particular; his aid de camp, Lagrange, was wounded.
Marshal Davoust, at the passage of the Inns at Steyer praises peculiarly the conduct of general Hendeler, who commands his van. He continued his march, and has arrived at Wahlstetten.
All the intercepted letters state that the furniture of the Court is already embarked on the Danube, and that they are expecting at Vienna the speedy arrival of the French.
VIENNA, Nov. 5.
The inquietudes which have reigned in this capital for this month past, that is to say, since a fortnight after the opening of the campaign, are now succeeded by the trouble and agitation occasioned by a sudden fright. The court takes no longer the trouble to conceal from us the disasters of the army of Swabia, and the precipitate retreat of the one commanded by the Archduke Charles; this trouble would now be useless, since it is making open preparations to depart. The most precious pieces of furniture are removing from the Palace, and are embarking night and day upon the Danube. The built observed in the hotels of the Princes and ministers, gives reason to believe that the French are at no great distance, and their approach occasions a general consternation.
However, the most cruel apprehensions entertained, is that which is inspired by the Russians. We are reduced to dread our allies still more than our enemies. The Cossacks above all, are a destructive scourge: they plunder, ra-
vage and massacre, wherever they can escape the vigilance of their officers. Some baggage belonging to the Austrian army fell into their hands—The French would perhaps have spared it more. At Vaglabrock, the Russians ransacked a farm house, and killed two young girls in a cellar, after satisfying their brutal passions on them. As an Austrian captain was attempting to arrest the authors of these atrocities, a Russian soldier came behind him, and knocked his brains out with the butt-end of his musket. This murder made the Austrian soldiers run to arms: a bloody engagement ensued between them and the Russians: twenty men were killed on both sides, and nothing but the intervention of the superior officers of both nations could put an end to the fight.
FOR THE RHODE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN.
THE BILL recently introduced in the Senate of the United States, by Mr. Wright of Maryland, for the protection and indemnification of American seamen, must surely accord with the wishes of every American citizen. That conduct of impressment so long pursued by British naval policy, approaches so near the vilest species of brigandage that our government should not hesitate a moment to adopt measures for restraining it, so far as our seamen are its victims; even though these measures, owing to imperious circumstances, be sanguinary and vindictive. This practice must be more indignantly reprobated, when it claims not to be legalized by any law of their own (their "common law" excepted) or justified or excused, even by their ridiculous subterfuge of precedent; though the custom among them has existed for ages. Even those who have enlisted themselves to advocate every measure that the charges of British policy has called for, have never dared to espouse the principle. A Burke, a Pitt, a Cobbett, and even a Sir William Scott have observed all the silence of guilt on the subject.
Whatever may be the practical operations of the bill we are ready to declare that something of the kind may and ought to be done. It is the right of an independent nation to make reprisals, for any aggressions committed on its citizens or their property. Have not sequestration and confiscation been resorted to for these purposes? The impressment and robbery of our seamen, may as well be retaliated and repelled by the seizure or sequestration of their own subjects. Defensive principles will readily admit the ancient maxim, an eye for an eye—a tooth for a tooth . Our land of liberty is not an altar of refuge, that screens the perpetrator from guilt at the expence of justice. And shall we fear to advance in adopting measures, increasing in severity, as those more mild shall fail in arresting the outrage. The rape of Grecian Hellen, occasioned a ten years war against the rapacious Trojans, and ended, it is said, in the destruction of Ilium.
If their war ships are made the gaols of our citizens, have we not also prisons & penitentiaries? And shall we hesitate to arrest & sequester their strolling subjects: who may be compelled to remunerate to the community what she has lost in the industry of her own citizens. These are solely the unrevived thoughts of a mind indignant at this practice of English barbarity. Rape and violence on the persons of men, for political purposes, have not their parallel among the most savage nations of the world; unless in the name of captives of war. They are only to be found in the legendary tales of Gypsies and the devil.
The subject however is too serious for ridicule. By this horrid practice, our friends are torn from us and committed to the custody of blood-payed holds, loathsome as hell to people bred in habits of peace and industrious employment. Sometimes indeed an invisible arm provides for their escape: But oftener they are retained as victims to the caprice of pride and power. We must not only encounter with the grievance of their impressment and death, but our solicitude must be irritated by the uncertainty of their fate. To quiet a suspended mind, we are not indulged even with the consolation of the fire of Joseph,
in looking upon their bloody garments or reading the account of their deaths in their official communications. Every naval engagement must put a period to the lives of many, who are pierced by the balls of those whom nature and circumstances have made their enemy. But we hope the indignant energies of the nation will be alive till they have restrained and defeated those sea-bred monsters of rapine and plunder, who have already too long boasted in a tyranny as wide as the ocean and uncontrolable as its waves.
NEWPORT.
THURSDAY—FEBRUARY 6, 1806.
On Tuesday the 28th January last, the building occupied at Salem, by Mr. Joshua Cushing, as a Printing-Office, and Mr. Isaac Cushing, as a Book-Bindery, was, with the contents, destroyed by fire. The printing materials were very valuable. In the Bindery was a considerable property, in unbound books, belonging to Messrs. Cushing and Appleton.
From the West-Indies, we learn, that a Dutch vessel has lately taken from the English the island of Aruba, lying about half a degree south-westerly from Currao in lat. 12, 9, and long. 69, 25. We have not the particular circumstances of this transaction.
An American gentleman is said to be preparing, and will soon publish, a reply to the celebrated English pamphlet, "War in Diguise, or the Frauds of Neutrals."
It would seem from the English prints, for they dare not tell the whole truth, that Sir Sidney Smith, has not succeeded in his expedition against Boulogne, he appears to have come off second best.
In the House of Representatives of the United States, January 20th, 1806. Mr. STANTON, offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to cause to be laid before the House a general return of all and singular the warlike stores, the property of the U. S. within the same, comprehending ordnance for garrison and for floating batteries, of iron and brass, from a 42 pounder to cannonier grape, &c. with carriages and implements, describing the condition of the same, whether fit or unfit for service, noting the place of deposit, and under whose direction; mortars, howitzers, beds, and travelling carriages of different calibres from nine to two pounders, with carriages, boxes, timbrils, ammunition wagons with harness, noting where situated or deposited, shot, shells, grape and canister attached to the different calibres, as above, ammunition and composition of powder in magazines, arsenals, and gun houses. Ordered, that the resolution lie on the table.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, If you think the following account of a Cow and Calf, fatted by my father, and slaughtered by Joseph Howland of New-Bedford, worthy a place in your paper, you will please to insert the same. The calf was seven months old, and sucked the cow until the day they were slaughtered.—They weighed as follows:

POETRY.
FOR THE RHODE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN,
An Account of a terrible Storm at Frederick Town.
FROM distance far, in yonder northern sky, Black clouds arise, and vivid lightning fly. Tremendous hue, black clouds, on clouds appear, With threatening dire events, approaching near. Tempestuous winds, with fury bustling forth; With clouds of hailstones rattling from the north. Laborious winds, loud claps of thunder roar, While rain in torrents down promiscuous pour! Stupendous nature, quak'd from pole, to pole, As tho' a second deluge drown the world, Men, beasts and birds, before the tempest fly, And the tall oaks, are whirled to the sky. No place of rest, no shelter to be found, While devastation, threat'ning all around, Heaven and Earth, terrific scenes display'd, While the stout heart stood trembling and dismay'd.
But when that power, that rules amidst the storm, Said peace be still, the winds and seas were calm, The tempest ceas'd, the lofty skies serene, While joy on every countenance was seen. Friends and Neighbours, Parents and Children dear, With wonder tell what they did see and hear, So may we happy meet on Canaan's shore, When the tempestuous storm of life is o'er.
MR. BISHOP. SIR.—If you think the enclosed trifle, unworthy a place in your paper, please to give it one in your fire. A BITTER night the Parson cries, And sadly locks the door, And then exclaims with uplift eyes "May God protect the poor."
At nine to prayer the Parson goes With visage long and solemn, Prays for the poor weeps o'er their woes, Then opens the Sacred Volume.
Reads of the good Samaritan, And such like pious lore, Comments on what he reads—and then, Exclaims God help the poor.
The Parson starts and trembling hears, A knocking at his door, A feeble voice salutes his ears "Kind sir protect the poor."
"Chill blows the wind fast falls the snow, "Your pity I implore, "Protect a hapless child of woe, "Kind sir protect the poor."
"Alas the pious saint replies, "Thy misery I deplore, "Ah me! in such a night as this, "Who pities not the poor."
"Beggar we cant, receive thee here, "To think it grieves me sore, "Beggar good night, be of good cheer, "God will protect the poor."
Bristol, Jan. 20, 1806.
ANECDOE.
"One kind kiss before we part."
A YOUNG lady having purchased an assortment of music at a ware-house situated in the western part of Philadelphia, on returning to her carriage, recollected a piece which she had neglected to buy. "Sir," said she, on re-entering the shop, "there is yet one thing which I have forgot, and which I must now request you to give me." "And what is that?" asked the young music-seller. "It is, Sir," replied she, (hesitating, and running over the titles of the music she held in her hand,) "it is— 'One kind kiss before we part.'—The gay youth, vaulting instantaneously over the table, saluted the fair stranger!—It is scarcely necessary to inform the reader, (who will recollect the song, "One kind kiss before we part") that it was an air of a less touching nature, than the one given by our hero, which the lady expected to receive.
LATE OMISSION.
COMET DISCOVERED!
COLUMBIA, (S. C.) Dec. 11.—On Sunday evening last, the 8th, the Rev. Mr. Moore discovered about 6 o'clock, a Comet, which he last night pointed out to me and others. Without any Astronomical instruments whatever, my observations cannot be very correct, particularly as it was situated in a part of the heavens, with which I have not an accurate acquaintance. However, as at 5 minutes past 7, the time at which I saw it, about 3 degrees of Aries culminated, and the Comet had passed the meridian with considerable south latitude: I estimate its place to be 12 or 14 degrees of Pisces, and near the foot of Aquarius. Its appearance is nebular, yet, every now and then a nucleus is visible, and a tail streaming to the eastward. Hoping to see it from a nine-inch globe to night, the only instrument this place affords, (the College apparatus not being arrived) I shall be able at some future day to be somewhat more certain, and to determine whether it be stationary, direct or retrograde. W. G.
Wanted Immediately, At this Office, as an APPRENTICE to the Printing Business, a Smart, Active LAD, 14 or 15 years of age.—One from the Country would be preferred.
