Political Miscellany.
FROM THE PEOPLE'S FRIEND.
TO THE HON. TH: JEFFERSON, President of the United States.
SIR, THE unexampled feebleness and impolicy of your administration has at length encompassed you with difficulties of too great magnitude and number, for a spirit and talents such as yours to encounter, with the smallest probability of success. The very arts by which you crept into power, and the wretched system or policy by which you have for so many years retained your popularity, are now in the natural course of their operation, revolving back upon yourself. To take a hint from one of your own notable effusions, "The full tide of your experiments" is turning, now rolls back upon you and ebb's space, and you are driven to an alternative the most grievous imaginable to your personal feelings—Either to meet Spain and her mistress France in the field, or to betake you to the more innocuous folly of caricaturing natural philosophy, and writing notes upon gnats at MONTICELLO. Your situation is indeed, so emphatically miserable, that not to pity you were a great crime, if not to condemn you were not a greater.
He who has the power, the purse and the patronage of an opulent nation at his command, as you have, will never want defenders, however worthless he may be himself, or however wicked his purpose. You have had yours. Never did the mountains of Switzerland pour down into the rich plains of Europe, at the call of murderous ambition, a more fierce or unprincipled horde of hirelings than have graced your march through a ruinous administration of six years. The fermiers of the world were favourable to you in this respect, showing upon the surface of society a superabundance of that kind of recreation which was most suitable to your purpose, and enabling you to enlist on your side, against the good of your country, a host of auxiliaries, who found in you an object they could espouse without the slightest defection from their own feelings, and in your system which they might defend without apostatizing from their own principles. In one respect they afforded you unequal advantage over the good men who were your adversaries. They had learned in the French school to allow themselves no checks from those moral laws, which it was the primary work of the French revolution to destroy. Provided the end was attained, they felt no repugnance about the means by which they attained it. The barriers of truth being long broken-down, or else over-leaped the unbounded field of invention lay open to them, and there they ranged at large in search of attributes for your decoration, which your modesty never before dreamed of, and of facts, for your support, which never had existence. They were at call to enforce your purposes by the arguments which it was most competent to such heads and such hearts to help you to. They were ready to scribble and to brawl as well as they could, and to murder the fame and the means of the best men of the land. So long, therefore, as a story, no matter whether true or false, told without a blush argued upon with hectoring effrontery, and backed with influence and office could serve for your support, all went well with you. So long as a scintilla of puff-paste praise, was strong enough to support you; you were safe. Your measures in any department could not want for panegyrists, since in every department there were emoluments and offices at your disposal. Though you had no court-creature specially paid and appointed to pandar mules for a formal birthday ode, you had a multitude of encomiasts who could falsify in prose, and who, how-
ever deficient in the inspiration which comes from the highest heaven of invention, were more than a match for any POET LAUREAT of them all, in venality. You may indeed be said to have converted the Union into a nation of profers who hobble it out with very common substitutes for the poetical requisites. For knowledge, invention, malice for wit, and for harmonious numbers an abundance of epithets of that precious kind, which originally sprung from the fans-culloterie of Paris. Without ever approaching or perhaps so much as knowing the name of, Parnassus, or sipping one solitary drop from the Pierian spring, a host of citizens—officers or candidates for office—collectors, surveyors, postmasters, governors, sheriffs, bailiffs and watchmen, touched, not in the head by the muse, but in the palm by the magistrate, have in a half flutter, half race, like the ostrich, contrived to rise to prosaic invention in support of your measures singing your praise, and swallowing the ducours of the state. Those as they invented you into office, and invented pretexts for your misconduct while there, will now invent causes for the danger you have brought upon the country; and in strict conformity to their inventive habits, will produce any but the true ones. They, ingenious souls, once found out that your temporising conduct was the way to insure respect and peace to this country—now, that contempt and war are dashed in its face, they will find out that, not your temporising conduct, but the reproaches of your political adversaries, and their exhortations to you to arm the country, have been the cause. They will say that it was not your timidity which tempted, nor your oversight of Miranda that enraged, but the insults offered to your friend Bonaparte by the Federal prints, which angered Spain and France into war. And it is likely that, with no less truth and modesty, they will, by and by, say that it was your hatred and the insulting language of yourself, your legislature, and your agents of the press to Great Britain which induced her to afford you, as probably the will protection from your friend the Corsican. This farce however, draws near to an end—the hour of indignation, and the sneer of ineffable scorn sit upon the public brow. The delusion is almost over, and the first shot that is fired on our Western possessions, will be the signal for rending in pieces that veil of artifice by which the true character of your administration has been concealed from the public.
I believe, Sir, I only repeat the universal opinion of mankind—a postulate which has never been controverted, when I say that between nations as between individuals, the very best security for peace, is promptitude and capacity for war; while on the other hand timidity not only excites contempt, but encourages encroachment, and solicits attacks. Individuals being under no responsibility to others, may, without any harm, please their fancy by imploring the justice which they have a right to demand. But the chief executive magistrate of a country, who, cherishing his fancies, or shivering under his fears supplicates for his country that justice which she has a right to demand, and, but for his impolicy, would have the power to enforce prevaricates with his duty, prostrates his country's honour, and if war ensues (which is most likely) is not only culpable of war, by neglecting the legitimate natural means of avoiding it, [preparation] but stands in the sentence of having aggravated the evils of war, with the disgrace of supplication despised, and the ignominy of humiliation rejected with disdain.
While I thus address you, Sir, I own that, different from my language to Mr. Randolph, I speak not profectively with a view to any amendment in your sentiments, or any alterations in your system—you are too far descended into the vale of
years for the one, and you are too near the end of your power for the other. And, to speak my mind, I very much fear that your soil was from the beginning too fancy for improvement. My purpose is, to make you turn your eyes backward on your past conduct and persuade you to repent. Do Sir!—Contemplate what you have done—view it attentively in all its natural aspects and in all the attitudes into which your ingenuity can throw it; and then, ask your heart what confidence in your conduct, what faith in your professions you can reasonably expect from your country, or from the nations of Europe. I will for the present put the disgraceful affair of Africa and Gen. Eaton out of the question; and come at once to the more important affair of Spain. By the meanest diplomatic traffic with France and Spain you committed your country to their derision and contempt, and while you tempted their cupidity, exposed your country's weakness. You endured their encroachments, their spurns, their scorn. You suffered the councils of your country to be dictated to, and its chief executive magistracy (in your person alas!) bearded and insulted by their ambassadors: And all for what?—You will say, to avoid war. What!—to avoid war with Spain indeed, when the union rings with imputations against you of being engaged in subtle underworking hostility against her, and of holding privity with one of her subjects who was engaged in a plan, which however laudable in its views, was treason to that country. Is such the peace which America ought to enjoy?—Is such the war fit for America to fight in?—A peace obtained by abject humiliation—A war incurred by detected treachery. The opinions respecting your privity with Miranda, are so far as regards the country, just as mischievous as if they were proved, and must so remain, until they shall be disproved—Till then the prevailing sentiment will be, that while you were soothing Spain from fear, you had a dagger for her concealed in your bosom.
And now, Sir, let me ask you a question. Are you—can you be so far advanced in impairment of faculties, as to entertain a hope, that all which passed so very current here will escape the notice of the monarchs of Spain and France? Can you flatter yourself, that every item of the Miranda affair, with the trials of Smith & Ogden—the speeches of the counsel—the testimony of witnesses who appeared at the trial—the causes for the non-appearance of those witnesses who did not appear, the verdict of the juries, the bones and legal conduct of your friend, Judge Talmadge—together with the whole of that disgraceful dance which you are said to have the honor of leading up, and all the strugglings of your partisans, in their despair for you, upon that occasion—Can you, I say, flatter yourself, that the whole of it has not been talked of, freely, at St. Clouds and the Escorial?—Lay not that foolish fondling hope to your heart—You will soon be convinced to the contrary. You will soon find your supplications for peace, answered by active war—The duplicity of your diplomatic instructions, by hard blows. And your impured kindness to the revolutionizer of the Carraccus, by a Spanish and French army in Louisiana.
American Navy.
As the National Intelligencer is the court paper of America, and conveys the sentiments of the cabinet, all the leading principles it maintains call for particular notice. It is not going too far to say, that the language of that print is the language of the Executive; and as such we consider the "thoughts on the subject of a naval power, in the United States of America, No. 1," which appeared in it on the 10th inst. Should any doubt the relationship of the thoughts to those of the President,
we only wish them to look both full in the face, and they will see the familiar likeness.
If the cabinet had sovereign power to make a new state of things from the raw materials in their own minds, they would find it very difficult so far to alter the nature of things, and overrule the necessities of civilized men, as to exclude commerce from their arrangements. But to tear in pieces the texture of a fixed national statistical economy—to separate commerce from agriculture, and to brand the former as injurious to the country though perfectly consistent with the disorganizing plans of the late Gallican school, cannot be viewed by any well-judging citizens as an atom better than the most daring outrage upon the vital principle of the state. Agriculture may be considered as the warp, Commerce as the woof, of national prosperity: separate them, and the fabric is destroyed.
The fact is, that the aversion to commerce has its origin in mere party stratagem. It has served its purpose and it must, for form, be persisted in. The commercial body, of course, became hostile to a faction which aimed at its extermination. The faction, although they be offenders, resent this, and to be revenged upon the merchants would cut up commerce by the roots, though the country were to perish of inanition by it. And now it should seem as if it were come to this, that either the administration must put down the merchants, or the country put down the administration.
One crime of commerce, in the eye of our administration is, that it demands armed protection—and the idea of even a protecting war, is excluded from our councils. In lieu of armed protection the faction treat the people to the old French dish which has turned the stomach of all Europe, and is now re-heated and served up in hashes, second-hand pastries, and beggar's pieces, in America; an appeal to the multitude, about the danger which liberty incurs from war, and their purse from armaments. A navy, say they, would ruin the country. This is the terror of the National Intelligencer's essay, No. 1. A proposition, this, somewhat curious. But the example by which the writer illustrates it, is a little more so:—Nothing less than that of England, whose navy this ingenious gentleman declares, in all the energies of Italy, to be a "splendid instrument of ruin." Would to God, that, for the honour and existence of America, she had an instrument of the same kind of ruin now lying in her ports.
The democratic writers of his New World are so much in love with the policy of their chief that they will make no allowance at all for those of the Old, who have built up their establishments upon a policy of a very different nature. When England built her navy, she wanted a little of that malleable temper which distinguishes our government. She could not bear beating patiently—she was surly and restive under insult; and she was always ready to fight rather than be kicked.
She hoped too that there would be none of her progeny degenerate enough to grovel to a saucy, insulting foe; But she has seen the reverse; and Don Yrujo will soon sum up the evidence of shame upon that head in the eyes of the world. Liberties indeed! No—the liberties which her navy has maintained are truly not of that kind which our pacific President is so sedulously cultivating. The liberty to be insulted by one power—kicked by a second—dragooned into tribulation by a third and despised by them all. These and these only are the liberties, which the practice and principles of our rulers go to establish and preserve. Rather than put up with liberties of that kind, our British progenitors, with a scantlet of shipping comparatively nothing, bearded the most formidable naval power then in the world; and they would have gone down to the bottom in them rather than let themselves be bullied by his long-eared Majesty, or chattered at by the baboons of France.
Americans, look to the glorious epoch of 1798; when the Chief Magistrate of this country made the thunder of American guns be heard upon the ocean—when the stout Truxton ranged up our gallant little force alongside of old established navies—and when the bare display of our national spirit made an insulting foe run back like a chased rat to its hole again. Compare all this with the present time,—when our
mendicant supplications are rejected—our hush-money contemptuously re-used—our government insulted by the reappointment of an offensive Ambassador—our rights ravished from us—our ships taken and plundered, and all the means which have been used to soothe the intemperate, rapacious Corsican, have failed, so that our government sits down not knowing what to do, because fearing to do, that which alone can save us. "Look upon this picture, and on this"—on 1798, and on 1806; and say, what can you offer in your defence—CHIEF OF THE LITTLE SOUL!
[People's Friend.]
FROM THE CENTINEL.
THE democratic papers at late, have been very free of their epithets on all the Federalists; and the terms "thieves," "murderers," "puppies," "villains," "assassins," &c. &c. have been sported on them with as much indifference, as if these dealers of firebrands, thought themselves not responsible for their outrages; or that insignificance was their shield.—But what is extraordinary, these papers at the same moment, have been boasting of their "candor," "respect for decency," "social intercourse," "urbanity," "due observance of the laws of decorum," &c.—As a specimen of these qualifications I request you to insert, the following extracts from a paper, called the "Republican Spy," and I am told, edited by a CHARLES STEWARD, or an EDWARD UPHAM, the latter a lawyer, somewhere in the county of Hampshire—and considered, after the Chronicle, as the leading democratic paper in Massachusetts.—You will please to entitle the extract:—
"BEAUTIES."
OF THE REPUBLICAN SPY. 1. "What a glorious thing it would be to make that lump of inanimate clay, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, King of America." 2. "As it has pleased God to make the Federalists FOOLS, it will be a hard task for these poor PUPPIES to make themselves wise." 3. "Drunkenness and Federalism embraced each other on the 4th July." 4. "There is not on earth a greater gang of TUIVERS than the Federalists." 5. "This powerful combination of Hypocrites, Jews, and ROBBERS, may well boast, &c."
I could fill a column of extracts, which, if not quite so Beautiful as the above, would be found nevertheless, to abound with as amiable and conciliating qualities.—But the above will suffice. Your humble servant, A LOOKER ON.
*The printer has lately been convicted of publishing three licks on Gov. Strong.
"Divided we fall."
There are now four Democratic, Jacobinic, Frenchified Papers in this State, who are at war with each other—One is entitled, the Eastern Argus, (well known in this quarter,) one the Freeman's Friend, one the National Argus, and one the National Argus, jun. The two former are printed in the District of Maine; the two latter in the county of Worcester. The Argus man, says he prints the only Republican Paper in Maine; while Mr. W. of the Friend, who is more knowing than the Argus man, thinks that he prints as Republican a Paper as his opponent in Portland. The Argus, jun. accuses its parent of "the un pardonable sin" of turning Federal; while the other Argus, applies to the younger Argus, the epithet of "Ballard." Thus these papers are continually fighting about "who is the most republican"—and in consequence of which they are continually abusing, and blacking, and defaming each other's reputation, in hopes to build up their own. When Jacobin Editors fall out with each other about republicanisin, what can they be compared to? They can be compared to nothing but a pack of bound; that are forever growling about a bone, which in fact none of them have any right to claim. J. R. [Repository.]

FROM RECENT LONDON PAPERS
LONDON, JULY 14.
Lord Nelson.—The following Co-
dicil to the will of this illustrious hero was not proved till the 4th instant:
CODICIL. October the twenty first, one thousand eight hundred and five, then in sight of the combined fleets of France and Spain, distant about ten miles. Whereas the eminent services of Emma Hamilton, widow of the right honourable Sir William Hamilton, have been of the very greatest service to my King and country...
NELSON AND BRONTE. Witness, Henry Blackwood T. M. Hardy.
To the Editor of the Star. Sir.—The following singular coincidence may furnish matter for reflection to the curious. It has been generally admitted that the Roman Empire, after passing under seven different forms of Government (or seven heads) was divided into ten kingdoms in Europe (the ten horns of Daniel and John)...
1. NAPOLEON, 2. JOSEPH, King of Italy. 3. LOUIS, King of Holland. 4. JEROME, 5. MURAT, Duke of Berg and Cleves. 6. Cardinal FESCH. 7. BEAUHARNOIS, the adopted Son of Napoleon. And also, that the Members of the new Federation are just ten, viz. 1. Bavaria 2. Wirttemberg 3. Baden 4. Darmstadt 5. Nassau 6. Vlembourg 7. Hohenzollern 8. Arenberg 9. Salm 10. Leyen.
It is also remarkable, that in the man's name, Napoleon Buonaparte, there are precisely three times 6 letters—
NAPOLE ON BUON APARTE. 6 6 6 666 And in his name is contained the name given by John to the King of the Locusts, who is called APOLLYON, or the Destroyer. 9th August. A. B.
PRINCESS OF WALES. The enquiry respecting the Princess of Wales, has been fully disclosed. It now appears that the weighty charges have been substantially
and that nothing remains of the others, but some peculiarities of manner, which might appear as levities in women of this country, but which are the ordinary habits of foreigners.
New Constitution of Germany.
Heinburg, Salm-Salm, Salm-Kirburg, Hohenzollern, Arenburg, Nassau Usingen, and Weilburg, become Sovereign Houses, engage in the new Federation, and with several others, formally renounced at Ratibon their connection with the German Empire, on the first of August.
The Federation is to be formed into two Colleges, that of Kings and that of Princes. The first consists of Bavaria, Wirttemberg, and Baden; and the Electoral Arch-Chancellor presides in it as Primate of Germany.
The college of Princes is formed of the abovenamed Princes, and the future Duke of Nassau Usingen presides in it. When the Primate dies, his successor is to be named by France.
The Federation engages, in case of an attack, to furnish France with 37,000 men, and France 200,000 to the Federation. In exchange for Deutz Villich, and Koenigswinter, which Usingen by this convention has just ceded to the Duke of Cleves, it receives the territorial sovereignty of the counties of Wied, Neuwied, and all the possessions of the Knights of the Empire in its old and new States.
The Landgrave of Hesse Darmstadt receives the sovereignty of Friedeburgh; and after the death of the present Viscount, the full property of it. He obtains, besides, a part of Lowenstein-Solms, and Erbach. The rest of Erbach comes to Baden, and of Lowenstein to the Arch Chancellor. Baden receives also Leiningen; and Furstenburg falls partly to Bavaria, partly to Wirttemberg and Hohenzollern.
The houses of Baden, Cleves, Darmstadt, and Wirttemberg, are to have the dignity of Grand Duke, because the title of Emperor of Germany being about to be abolished, that of Elector ceases to be any longer necessary. Wurzburg and Hesse Cassel are permitted to join the federation if they please.
The Tribunal of the Federation, to which every court is to send its ambassador, is to be at Frankfort, and is to decide only on the controversies between the Princes.
A part of Solms comes to Wirttemberg, and Frankfort to the Arch Chancellor. The last Reiss for the division of territory, concluded at Ratibon, under the mediation of Russia and France, is abolished in all points, except the pensions of ecclesiastics. Besides, Orange Fulda is to be ceded; but to whom or for what indemnity is not known. But we can state that before the mail left Hamburg, accounts had reached the city that the French had occupied Fulda.
The deputies of the new States will assemble at Frankfort on the 1st of September. Napoleon is to be present in person.
OUR Readers will find, in a subsequent Column, what is stated to be the outline of Bonaparte's Plan for the alteration, or rather the subversion, of the German Constitution. The Emperor of Germany is, as we expected to be deprived of all power as Head of the Empire, and his authority limited to his Hereditary States. We have already expressed our doubts whether he will be permitted to retain the title of "Emperor of Germany;" indeed if Bonaparte's new plan be adopted, that title will, in fact, belong to him, as he will be the real head of the Empire. It is said that his Prussian Majesty is extremely dissatisfied with the proposed alterations, and that he intends to remonstrate in the strongest manner against them. That the King of Prussia is dissatisfied at the events which have occurred for the last few months, we have no doubt, because they have not only defeated whatever Plans of aggrandizement he might have formed but have rendered completely nugatory the system of Politics upon which Prussia has almost invariably acted since she has risen to her present rank among the Powers of Europe. The anxious wish which the Cabinet of Berlin has always felt to see the power of the House of Austria reduced, has unfortunately been completely gratified; but, while Prussia was endeavouring to humble a rival, she has in effect given to herself a master; for the uncontrolled influence of Bonaparte on the continent justifies that expression. But
whatever disappointment his Prussian Majesty may feel, we are convinced that he will not attempt any serious opposition to the proposed changes. There was a time when the sincere and active co-operation of Prussia would have preserved the independence of Europe; but that time is past, and Prussia may now lament, but she can not retrieve her errors. It is not to be supposed that Prussia, after refusing to join with Russia and Austria in a coalition against France, will now vent venture upon the contest single-handed. We are not yet in possession of the names of all the princes and States that mean to join in the new Confederation, of which Bonaparte is to be the Head, but we may venture to predict that it will include almost every Prince and State in Germany. It is well known that Bonaparte always considers those as his enemies who are not his friends: upon the same principle he will consider those who do not seek his protection, as defying his power.
It is said that Bonaparte has proposed to the King of Prussia to put himself at the head of a Confederacy of the States in the North of Germany; but it is not likely that any of the German Princes would now choose to put themselves under the protection of Prussia.
The last Foreign Papers do not contain any accounts of the progress of the negotiation between the Kings of Sweden and Prussia; but we still think that the differences between those Sovereigns will be adjusted under the mediation of Russia.
England and America.
The Lord Mayor gave yesterday a splendid entertainment to the Lord Chancellor and others of the Cabinet Ministers, in honour of his Excellency the Hon. David Erskine, the Minister proceeding from England to America. There were present on this occasion—The Lord Chancellor, Earl Spencer, Lord Ellenborough, Mr. Windham; Sirs S. Cotterell, W. Curtis, & Charles Price; Mr. Barclay, Mr. Combe, Mr. Munroe Mr. Pinckney, Gen. Lyman, the Hon. H. Erskine, Mr. Harris, and Mr. Wilson, the Lord Chancellor's Solicitor.
After dinner the following toasts were drunk:
"The king and God bless him." "The queen and royal family." "The prince and his royal brothers, and thanks to them for the honor they have done the city in the present mayoralty by their presence." "The American ministers present, Mr. Monroe, Mr. Pinckney, and Gen. Lyman, and may there be perpetual harmony between the two countries."
Mr. Monroe begged leave to return thanks for the honor which had been done him, which he did not estimate so much personally, as with regard to his country. There existed a thousand reasons, he said, which made it desirable for him to promote a becoming feeling of good will between Great Britain and America; but he must be considered a true and faithful servant of his republic, yet no personal exertions on his part should be wanting to preserve that cordiality which was so essential to the interests of the two countries; and he begged leave to drink all their good healths. Mr. Pinckney observed, that he accorded perfectly in the sentiments that had been expressed by his colleague, and that no endeavors on his part should be wanting to promote the good understanding which ought ever to subsist between Great Britain and America.
The next toast was. "The Lord Chancellor of England, and may the name of Erskine and the trial by jury ever be united."
The Lord Chancellor returned thanks. He said, he felt it to be the highest honor that he could enjoy, to have his health drank and introduced in the manner it had been at the head quarters of the city of London, a city where he has many opportunities of using the talents which he possessed in support of that law which was the admiration of the world, and which was so admirably executed by his noble and learned friend present, whose health he would take the liberty of proposing.
The health of Lord Ellenborough having been drank. His lordship thanked the company for the honor they had done him so much beyond his deserts.
At the Council held yesterday at the Queen's House, Parliament was further prorogued from the 28th instant to the 9th of October. But this Parliament will, it is reported never meet again. A dissolution is said to be intended in September.
It is stated in one of the Paris papers, that "since the conclusion of Peace between Russia and France, all fears of a new rupture between the latter power and Austria have entirely vanished." The consequences of it will likewise appear in the altered motions of the troops as soon as the peace with Russia
shall be ratified, when it is expected, that Austria will give her consent to the New Rhenish Federation.

Respecting the Spaniards in Louisiana.
NATCHITOCHES, AUG. 26.
Mr. Freeman returned to this place on Saturday last, after having ascended 430 miles above this place, where the Spaniards had been waiting for him for five days. A little after the usual time for stopping for dinner, a detachment of the Spanish party, amounting to 159 men, crossed the river in full gallop, with evident intention to charge our party. Capt. Sparks, with great address, took possession of an elevated bank, 30 feet above the surface of the water; and the men being provided with rests for their rifles, in such a manner as to have made an impression—The Spanish commander appears to have perceived our advantage, and the awkward situation in which he had placed himself, and brought his troops to a halt immediately; when a flag being hoisted, a conference took place between Mr. Freeman and the Spanish commander Vienne, who declared his positive orders to be, not to allow any armed force whatever to proceed beyond that place, and to repel, by arms, any attempt to proceed. The conference continued about half an hour, when Mr. Freeman conceived it to be his duty to return, considering that the tract already explored was extensive and the waters now became so shallow that for the few preceeding days they had to haul the boats over the banks.
Yesterday gov. Claiborn arrived to concert measures with col. Cushing respecting our situation, and organize the militia. In his conversation he appears to feel very sensibly the hostile conduct of the Spanish forces, and if I may trust my judgment, something energetic will take place at no great distance of time. The Spanish force is stationed about fifty miles from us having fallen back to their former position on Bayou Pierre.
This morning capt. Bower and his company arrived from Opeloufas and we expect three companies from Fort Adams, boats having been sent for them 12 or 14 days since, collecting this force here would appear to indicate a determination to make the Spaniards cross the Sabine. If such is the determination it puts the result of an engagement in our favour without risk. but the troops here could not be better placed than to march with only 200 men against the Spaniards on this side the Sabine. We have no sort of apprehensions of danger here from any force the Spaniards can bring against us, the solicitude here is; "and the only fear that the Spaniards may escape without paying them for their trouble they have taken."
NEW-YORK, OCT. 1.
It was yesterday confidentially asserted by persons whose authority is entitled to respect, that a gentleman, but the day before, arrived from Washington informed them that General Turreau, the French Ambassador, had waited on the President and demanded in the name of the Emperor his master, that the executive should immediately suppress the work, entitled "A History of the Court of St. Cloud," and interpose its authority to prevent the publication of the third edition of that work which is advertised to be in the press and that the president declined to intermeddle with the press his power did not extend so far. Upon which General Turreau replied, that if he did not do it, the Emperor Napoleon would. For the authenticity of this we cannot vouch—But we can readily conceive the court of France to make that demand on our government when he made one of the same kind from Great Britain.
The "National Intelligencer," in commenting on the current report, that the Spanish Minister, Yrujo, had been reappointed, after risking a doubt of the authenticity of the fact, with its usual perversity, adds, "Be this, however, as it may, the triumph of the federal press is perfectly characteristic of the party, who do not fail to rejoice at ever obstacle that is
presented to the accommodation of our differences with foreign powers." To tell this mock bird be LIES, would be derogatory from the dignity of federalism. Let him, if he can, produce an instance of federal triumph and rejoicing on the subject. He cannot.—The federal press, he knows, have merely announced the reported fact, and distanced, as they have a right to do, on the probable cause, and effect, of the reappointment, if it has been made. In this way only have they expressed any sort of "triumph." The democratic papers—particularly some in the vicinity of Washington—have announced this report, and added to it, that France has recommended the recognition of the Ambassador! Why then has not this cause of the Executive denounced this "triumph" of his brethren in inquiry? Does he think the federal press are to be silenced by anything he or his matter can utter? If he does he mistakes much:—And the official organ, must be reduced to the most pitiable shifts for matter of abuse, when it is obliged to resort to such trash as the above. Heaven knows, if the federalists were disposed to triumph in the disgraced and degraded condition to which the folly and ignorance of the Administration have sunk their country, they would find too much matter in every month's history. They see it and not rejoicing, they lament it.

Proceedings of a Court Martial held (by order of the Major General of the sixth Division) at Portland, in the county of Cumberland, on the 26th day of August, 1806.
President, Lieut. Col. Thomas Chute. Members, Major Lemuel Weeks, Lieut. Lambert, Major Bracket, Lieut. Bracket, Capt. Warren, Lieut. Somersby, Capt. Bradish, Ensign Libbey, Capt. Elder, Ensign Capen, Capt. March, Ensign Mathier, Major Dudley Hubbard, Judge Advocate.
The President, Members and Judge Advocate being sworn, the Court proceeded to the trial of Lieut. James Milk Ingraham, who appeared before the Court, and the following charges (in the complaint of Noah Harding, a private soldier,) were read to him—which are as follows:—
1st. That the said James Milk Ingraham having the command of a company on the sixth day of May last past, in the absence of the captain, did, while the said company was under arms, take from the said Harding, without any justifiable cause, his Gun, Bayonet and Cartridge-box, with his cartridges, and them detained for and during the day, placed him under a guard of three men, and marched him to the head of Fifth-street, (one of the principle streets in said town) and him there kept, against his will, and against the laws for the Commonwealth, for the space of four hours.
2nd. That the said James Milk Ingraham, on said sixth day of May, while the company aforesaid was under arms, marched them to the place where the said Harding was confined; and when there, ordered and erected a wooden Horse about eight feet high, at the head of said Fifth-street, and against the will of the said Harding, put and placed him on the same, with his hands tied behind him, and his feet tied together under said Horse, by the command and direction of the said James Milk Ingraham—in which situation and condition, the said Harding was compelled to remain more than one hour, under a Military guard, as an infamous publick spectacle to all the citizens of this commonwealth—against the laws, usages and customs established or known for the government of the Militia of this Commonwealth.—To which charges, Lieut. James Milk Ingraham pleads not guilty.

The Court having sat and adjourned from day to day since the twenty sixth day, met this day, according to adjournment; and having fully heard the evidence both for and against Lieut. Ingraham and also his defence, and being cleared, the following questions were put by the Judge Advocate, to each of the members—beginning with the lowest in grade:—
From the evidence which has been adduced for and against said Lieut. James M c Intosh Ingraham, and from what has been offered in his defence, are you of opinion that he is guilty or not guilty of the first article of charge exhibited against him by Noah Harding?—The Court decided that of the first article of charge in said complaint, the said Ingraham is not guilty.
Upon the second question being put in the same form, upon the second article of charge in said complaint, the Court decided, that of the second article of charge in said complaint the said James M c Intosh Ingraham is not guilty, and recommend that he be honorably discharged.
