FROM THE ENQUIRER.
VINDICATION OF MR. JEFFERSON.
No. I.
Moti Olio, Vacillans Gaudia Benefic; nec impetris cogniti.—TACITUS.
IT is one of the consequences attendant upon greatness, that it multiplies the number of critics and of enemies. Was it to have been expected therefore that Mr. Jefferson would have escaped the rage and rancor of opposition?
When these attacks were levelled against him, what was the sacred duty imposed upon himself and his supporters? Was it to have imitated the policy of his opponents, when they formerly held the administration in their hands? To have awed them into silence by the same legal terrors which they had in vain brandished over the heads of the republicans? Or was it not to have shielded his feelings behind the Cegis of truth; and to have incurred any little resentment which he might have experienced to the inviolable duty of respecting the rights of the press?
By adopting this plan of defence, Mr. Jefferson has entitled himself to the gratitude of his country. He has exhibited an example of moderation by which his successors may profit. He has shown to the Kings and the Emperors of Europe, how much better it is to trust an honest officer's vindication to the zeal of his friends than to the terrors of the law.
Among the various charges which have been urged against Mr. Jefferson, the most important are those which relate to his conduct during our revolution. From these insinuations it has been inferred that Mr. Jefferson has neither the spirit or the talents to conduct the administration of our government. The man, who was unable to discharge the duties of a governor of Virginia, is declared to be unfit to be the president of the Union.
These charges against Mr. J. were commenced in 1796 by Charles Symmes, of Alexandria; an act, which though it merited the honest indignation of his country, was enough to make him an object of presidential bounty. It was on this sycophantic statesman that Mr. Adams in the plenitude of his folly, bestowed the most lucrative office in Virginia, which he even now holds through the magnanimity of the man, whom he had so ignominiously traduced. Like the celebrated monarch of France, Mr. J. declines to avenge the injuries "of the Prince of Orleans."
From Mr. Symmes, who was rewarded with the collectorship of Alexandria, the ignominious tale was handed down to William Smith, of S. Carolina, by whom it was reported with additional colouring in his pamphlet of Photion. It was in this celebrated production, designed to influence the election in S. Carolina, and addressing itself to the peculiar feelings of the people that Mr. Smith pretends to quote a passage in the letter of Mr. Jefferson, to Bannaker, the black Astronomer. Were signal services, like those, to be treated with ingratitude? Surely not. This forsooth of retorted falsehoods; this shameless fabrication of extracts of letters; was soon tricked out in the artificial honors of minister to the Sublime Porte.
Mean time did the friends of Mr. Jefferson remain inactive? No. They ransacked the records: They appealed to the memory of contemporary witnesses: They collected a body of argument, which not only refuted, but turned into ridicule the unfounded accusations of his opponents. Above all; the able editor of the Examiner, to whom the warmest gratitude of every republican is due, distinguished himself by his acuteness and zeal. These misrepresentations appeared to have been completely refuted, and every friend of truth began to hope that the tomb of oblivion had closed upon them forever.
Vain, however, was that hope! The federal party unable to make any thing out in the public administration of Mr. Jefferson, which they could turn to his disadvantage, have once more descended to these oblivious tales. But no! let me not be unjust to the federal party. Let me not involve them all in one indiscriminate censure. We know that there are many of them who have disapproved of the repetition of these tales. We know that there are some, who have really believed them, because they have not yet "heard both sides of the question." In the northern states particularly, we believe that this latter class is not inconsiderable. Was it then to be supposed that it would be a man from the south, from Virginia, that should once more renew these attacks? Yet such is the fact.
Thomas Turner of Virginia, has become the champion of Christendom.
Extracts from Mr. Turner's letter to his correspondent in Boston.
At the time Petersburg was occupied by the British troops under the command of Generals Phillips and Arnold, Mr. Jefferson, who was then Governor of the state, did participate in the partial consternation, excited by the situation of the British Army, and did abandon the seat of government, at a period, and with an awkward precipitation, indicative of timidity, unwarranted by any immediate movement of the enemy, and forbidden by a regard to those duties, which belonged to the station he held. This fact is well recollected, and can be proved by many of the oldest and most respectable inhabitants of the city of Richmond, and I believe would not be denied by the candid supporters of Mr. Jefferson himself.
The sequel of his conduct, after the Assembly returned to Charlottesville, and on the approach of Colonel Tarleton to that place stands attested by thousands of witnesses, and can never be forgotten by those of his countrymen, who respect the character of a firm and virtuous public officer, and who abhor that of a dastardly traitor to the trust reposed in him. His retreat or rather his flight from Monticello, on the information that Col. Tarleton had penetrated the country, and was advancing to Charlottesville, was effected with such hurried abruptness, as to produce a fall from his horse, and a dislocation of the shoulder. In this situation he proceeded about sixty miles south, to the county of Bedford, whence he forwarded his resignation to the Assembly, (who had in the mean time removed to Staunton and) who thereupon elected General Nelson, Governor. These circumstances are substantially, and literally true; nay, the abdication of Government, was a matter of record.
Yes; fortunately they are matter of record, and shall be duly exhibited. And if we do not prove that there is not an iota of truth in these accusations, we consent to abide by the severity of the Egyptian law, which inflicts the same punishment upon the unjust accuser, which would have been served upon the accused, had he been found guilty. Will Mr. Turner submit to the same Alternative?
That we may preserve some degree of order in the discussion which we are about to undertake, we shall trace the conduct of Mr. Jefferson at three distinct periods.
1. During the first invasion of the English. 2. During the second. 3. During their incursions into the upper country.
Though Mr. Turner has not touched upon the first period at all, we cannot but think it worthy of some enquiry: 1st. because we shall be able to refute many misrepresentations which have been already circulated about it, and 2d. because we may be able to contribute a few valuable materials towards writing the history of that period.
FIRST INVASION.
On the 31st of Dec. 1780, the Governor received the first intelligence that 27 sail of ships had entered the Chesapeake Bay: and were in the morning of the 29th, just below Wilmington's Point (the southern Cape of James River) their destination being unknown.
On the 2d of January 1781, information was received that they had entered James River, their advance being at Warrenton Bay. Orders were then issued for calling in the militia; one-fourth from some counties, and one-half from others; which orders were conveyed to their respective counties by the members of the Legislature which rose on that day. The Governor at the same time directed that the records of state should be removed into the country, and the military stores should be transported from Richmond to Westham, 7 miles above on the river, from whence they were to be conveyed across the river.
On the 3d, the enemy were reported to be a short distance below Williamsburg in a situation convenient for landing, should Williamsburg have been their object.
On the 4th, information was received that they had passed Cannon's and Wood's the evening before with a strong easterly wind, which clearly pointed out that either Petersburg or Richmond was their point of destination. The whole militia was then called in from the adjacent counties.
On the 5th, it was stated that the enemy had landed and were drawn up at Westover, on the north side of the river and 25 miles below Richmond,—Richmond of course being their

place of destination, orders were given to waggon no more of the military stores to Wetham, but to throw them directly across the river. Having attended to this operation only an hour and an half in the night, the Governor rode up to the foundry, one mile below Wetham; ordered Captains Bath and Irish and Mr. D. Hylton to continue waggoning to Wetham, the arms and stores which were still at the foundry, with the view of conveying them across the river; proceeded from thence to Wetham, for the purpose of accelerating the transportation of such stores as had already arrived; and from thence proceeded to Tuckahoe, 8 miles above and on the same side of the river, where he arrived after midnight.
On the 6th, after sending his family to a place of safety, the Governor repaired to Britton's on the south side of the river opposite to Wetham, where finding the arms thrown together in a heap near the shore, and exposed to the cannon of the enemy on the opposite side of the river, he had them removed under cover of an adjacent point of land. From thence he proceeded to Manchester, opposite to Richmond, where he found the enemy had already arrived at 1 P. M. Seeing that the arms were secured, he repaired to Chesterwood's to have an interview with Baron Steuben, who had appointed that place as rendezvous and head quarters. Not finding him there, and understanding that the Baron had intended to be at Col. Fleming's, 6 miles above Britton's, he proceeded to that place. In the mean time a detachment of the enemy had arrived at Wetham, from which place they sent a deputation to the Governor at Col. Fleming's with terms of ransom for Richmond. These were rejected with the indignation which they deserved. The late Mr. Buchanan of Richmond was one of the deputation.
On the 7th, the governor returned to Britton's with the view of more effectually securing the books, papers, &c. The enemy having burnt some stores and houses, deserted Richmond after the residence of 24 hours, and encamped at Four-Mile-Creek, 8 or ten miles below it.
On the 8th, the governor having reviewed the state of the arms at Britton's, repaired to Manchester, where he lodged that night.
Early in the morning of the 9th, he crossed over to Richmond and once more fixed his residence in the capital. In the mean time the enemy were detained at Wetham by an Easterly wind.
During all these transactions the American forces were scattered in different detachments, and amounted to no more than 2,300 men: 300 militia under Col. John Nicholas at the forest, 6 miles off from Wetham; 200 under general Nelson at Charles City Court-House, 8 miles below; 1000 under Col. Gibson, and 800 under Baron Steuben, on the South side of the river.
Through the whole of this interesting period, we have minutely specified time, and place. For we with any man, who can discover the slightest remissness in this movement, to lay his finger upon the point and say ruben and where it was.
We shall not in proving the truth of the foregoing details, imitate the covert policy of Mr. Turner. We shall not content ourselves as he has done with appealing to the authority of a thousand nameless witnesses. But we shall bring them directly before the public; we shall put it into the power of any man to decide, whether the names and characters of such men are not sufficient to protect them from the suspicion of interested motives.
If these statements do not convince even Mr. Turner himself that he has miserably misunderstood the conduct of Mr. Jefferson during the revolution; and if they do not compel him to come forward, and by ingenuously confessing his mistakes, to offer the only reparation which it is yet in his power to bestow; the discernment and candor of Mr. Turner will become not less proverbial with us than the sagacity of a Pickering or the virtues of a Hamilton.
Latest Foreign Articles.
LONDON, Aug. 22.
The Hamburg mails of the 13th and 16th inst. arrived this morning. We have extracted the following articles from our private correspondence:—
HAMBURG, Aug. 13.
I AM enabled to state on the authority of an officer, of high rank, that all the Danish troops in the territories of Holstein and Schleswig, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march. A Russian Courier having brought very important dispatches to Copenhagen, an express was immediately sent off by the prime minister to the prince royal, who was with the princess in the German part of the Danish dominions, requesting his immediate return to Copenhagen. Great movements have been of late observed among the French troops in Hanover; and it is strongly suspected to be the Corsican's intention to march an army into Holstein, and occupy Gluckstadt, Husum and Tondern, so as to shut up every communication with Great Britain, and even to blockade the sound from the land side. This plan of operations, which is said to have been offered to Bonaparte by General Schauenburg has received his full approbation; but the court of St. Petersburg having been informed of it, the most active orders were sent to the Danes,
to defend the neutrality and independence of their territory. The politics of the court of Berlin are still undecided, but a categorical answer has been demanded of Frederick William, by Alexander I.
August 28.
The Moniteur observes, that England is precipitating Austria into war by inducing her to make in the Tyrol and Italy armaments which cannot but be considered as a commencement of hostilities. It is evident, from this language that Bonaparte considers war with Austria as inevitable, and if he had been prepared there is no reason to doubt but that he would have commenced hostilities before this time, but it is clear the promptitude and energy displayed by the two imperial courts, have completely disconcerted him.
The articles in the Moniteur, from various parts of the Austrian territories, speak of nothing but war—in fact it is evident that the French government consider war with Austria as unavoidable.
The Moniteur, of the 12th inst. in a note upon the policy of Austria and Prussia, observes, that it is no wise surprising that the number of troops which Austria has put in motion should incline England to believe her disposed to coalesce against France; but that Napoleon entertains a better opinion of the emperor, than to imagine him guilty of such short sighted policy as to put his crown and dominion at hazard for the sake of swelling the maritime intolence of England. The writer proceeds to comment upon the interference of Russia at Rastadt, in throwing down the gauntlet to France, and using every effort to precipitate the German body into hostilities; and winds up his clause by observing that the States of Germany knew better than to excite a war to be fought at their own doors which must either weaken or destroy them, and thus give Russia an opportunity of increasing her power in the south. The note is of a smooth and conciliatory nature, and has agreeably surprised us, because we expected something more bullying and arrogant from Bonaparte at this moment. He seems affectedly alarmed at the decision of Russia, and attempts alternately to cajole and intimidate Austria, into the same kind of conduct which he recommends, as so exemplary and consonant to the common interests of Europe and the German States in Prussia.
All travellers from the Tyrol and Austrian Italy, speak with astonishment of the quantity of troops and waggons that block up all the roads; and render it difficult for passengers to travel.
August 28.
Private accounts from France, state, that a squadron of five sail of the line and four frigates, with several transports, are now ready for sea, at Toulon, having 10,000 troops on board—this force is supposed to be destined to attack the Russians at Corfu.
The object of the Brest fleet in their movement of the 21st, was evidently to prevent admiral Cornwallis from sending to points where they may be wanted, any considerable detachments. The movement appears to have been combined with the activity observed among admiral DeWinter's squadron, in the Texel, on the same day.
There is a report that earl Spencer has joined the present administration, and that his lordship is to be placed at the head of the admiralty.
Lord Castlereagh has failed as a candidate in the election in Dover county in, Ireland.
September 1.
It was mentioned yesterday at the East-India house, that admiral Calder had instructions to meet the homeward bound East India fleet in a given latitude, which he has reached by this time, to convoy it safe into port with the squadron of admiral Ranier. In such cases, hopes might yet be entertained that he will fall in with the combined squadron, as the general opinion is that it is gone to intercept our homeward bound East-India trade. If its object was to raise the blockade of Brest, intelligence to that effect must have been received long before the present period. The demonstration made by the Texel fleet and the Brest fleet to put to sea, was merely to divert our attention from the combined squadrons, and had no relation to the invasion.
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
PARIS, Aug. 17.
Vice Admiral Villeneuve to the Minister of Marine.
VIGO, July 18.
"I am now under way. I leave here two Spanish ships and the French ship L'Atlas. These vessels have not suffered much in the action, but they sail badly, and I consider them as rather likely to delay the squadron than to reinforce it.
"I have disembarked here my sick. The length of the voyage, and the badness of the weather, has caused a sickness among the troops, but those who have nothing but the scurvy, are in no danger, and will soon be restored by air and fresh provisions. I shall set out with 15 ships of which two are Spanish, and if we have any affair on our voyage to Ferrol, with the squadron we have fought we have nothing to fear.
VILLENEUVE."
Rear Admiral Gourdon to the Minister of Marine and Colonies.
FERROL, August 2.
"M LORD,
"I have the honor to announce to your Excellency, that Admirals Villeneuve and Gravina have this moment, anchored at Corunna. The English squadron re-appeared two days ago; it consisted of 13 ships of the line, but immediately on seeing the squadron of Rear Ad. Villeneuve, it failed again. It had, however, nothing to fear from the combined squadron in Ferrol, the wind being West, and blowing fresh, which rendered it impossible for us to get out. We are all animated by an ardent desire to give his majesty proofs of our devotion for him, and our desire of enterprize for the glory of his flag.—Receive the assurances of my respect.
(Signed) GOURDON."
LONDON, Sept. 2.
Just as the combined fleet failed from Ferrol, eight large American ships, under convoy of two armed ships, failed from Nantes for Cadiz, laden with salt, beef, pork and biscuit; the Colpoys brig fell in with them in the night, captured two, the rest separated, and got between the Isle of Dieu and the main.
At length we are able to put an end to the suspense which the public has for sometime felt with respect to the combined fleets.
Capt. Blackwood, of the Euryalas frigate, arrived this morning at the Admiralty with dispatches. His ship had been sent from Cork to Lord Nelson; but missing him, proceeded to Admiral Collingwood, off Cadiz—The dispatches state, that the combined fleets, consisting of 27 sail of the line, arrived at Cadiz on the 20th ult. Admiral Collingwood, of course did not, with his four sail of the line, venture to oppose them—they chased him for a short time before they entered Cadiz. As soon, however, as they had got in, he turned to his station and re-anchored with his four sail of the line off the harbor. On the 24th the Euryalas fell in with Sir R. Calder's fleet, within 20 leagues of Cadiz, so that he would in all probability join Admiral Collingwood the next day, and the blockade of Cadiz would then be effectually resumed. Ad. Bickerton will be able to prevent their junction with the combined fleets, should they attempt it.
Dispatches have been received from Admiral Collingwood, informing of the arrival of the combined fleet at Cadiz, the 20th August, consisting of 28 sail of the line. Sir Robert Calder and Admiral Cornwallis had been made acquainted with the fact.
Advices from Admiral Cornwallis mention, that a squadron of ten sail of French ships, (four of the line) had chased the Melampus frigate, on the 30th August, off the Penmarks. They are supposed to be the ships left at Migo, and bound to L'Orient.
The Rochefort squadron, it is said slipped into Brest, when Cornwallis had hauled off to intercept the combined squadron.
Lord Keith has returned from the Texel, in the Edgar, of 74 guns. It is said that there is less appearance than formerly of an intention on the part of the Dutch fleet to put to sea.
A Spanish privateer, commanded by an American, named Hooper, has captured a ship of 400 tons, from Liverpool for New-york, and a Dutch brig from New-York for the West-Indies; as also a Bermudian vessel and some others.
We stop the press to announce the arrival of a second express at the Admiralty, with dispatches, stating that the combined fleet, after arriving at Cadiz, has again put to sea, following a northerly course. As we have more than once had occasion to notice the course steered leaving port proves nothing respecting the real destination of a fleet: it is in every case necessary to gain an offing—and, besides, a false course is often followed to deceive an adversary, till darkness enables them to alter it with less chance of detection.
HOSTILE MOVEMENTS.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10.
The greatest warlike preparations are making in all parts of the Russian Empire; a messenger left this city yesterday for England, who, it is reported, is the bearer of the Treaty concluded between Russia, Sweden, and England; it is also said, that the Prussian minister will leave this capital to day or tomorrow.
August 13.
M. Novoziltzoff returned to this capital on the 4th inst. The troops are arriving on all sides.—Count de Buxhaven General of Infantry, and military Governor of Riga, and Lt. Gen. Essen, are already arrived. Gen. Benninguen is daily expected. Baron de Winzintfrade is also on his return from Vienna.
INSPUCK, (Tryol) Aug. 12.
All the troops of the Monarchy are on the march. Various camps are forming. Prince Charles has purchased the horses for his suite: The archduke John sets out in 20 days.
RATISBON, (Bavaria) Aug. 20.
A general consternation prevails here. The Russian troops are said to be on their march towards Hungary and Bohemia, menacing us as much as France. They inspire confidence in the Russians whose troops are about invading Bavaria, and even Switzerland. All these movements announce that Southern Germany approaches to the greatest misfortunes.—Moniteur.
The Elector of Bavaria, it is said, will with his family, remove to Wartzburgh, in Francis,
MUNICH, (Bavaria) Aug. 12.
A general uneasiness pervades the public mind. The armaments of Austria are a sufficient proof that she is determined on war, and the immense bodies of troops which she is marching towards the Inn, indicate an intention on her part to take possession of Bavaria, as the first operation. The Austrian Minister has hinted that the measure would take place. In consequence many persons expect every moment to see the Austrians marching against Munich; and the

of Bavaria finds himself compelled to take measures of precaution for his safety, and his personal safety. [ur.]
AUGSBURG, Aug. 19.
stated, that the King of Prussia is assembling troops in Franconia, and Barneth to support the army which the Princes of the Empire are determined to send, in case Austria goes to war. The object is talked of.
Last letters from Venice state that the garrison there at the island men. The greatest acclivity in fortifying the Isle of
Orders have been issued to move as speedily as possible, all the troops in the Venetian territories as well as those which cover the Tyrol and Carinthia.
The troops in Austrian Italy, as the line of post along the Danube has been reinforced. At the same time we hear, that the Austrians in Brisgau have been ordered to the Voralberg.
VIENNA, Aug. 15.
Notwithstanding all the appearances of an approaching rupture, many are of opinion, that war will not take place, but that more probable Congress will be held. However it is very likely, that the whole army will be placed on the war establishment by the first of September. Moreover, it is positively asserted, that all battalions of the frontier troops are ready on their march to Italy, and that 90,000 men are already on the Austrian frontiers. A great military preparation is also spoken of in which a Marshal, some Generals, and Brigadiers will be appointed.
On the 13th inst. a train of 102 pieces of cannon, with the necessary ammunition, left Vienna for Italy; and a road from Vienna to Baden is so crowded with troops, that travellers hardly pass that way.
On the 20th of this month, the Archduke Charles will set out on his way to Italy.
Aug. 17.
Switzerland demands the protection of Austria; and has sent Deputies to Vienna, for that purpose but no answer has been given them. Generals Starhemberg and Weissenwolf proceeded to Galicia to guide the march of the Russian troops.
FRANKFORT Aug. 19.
The German papers announce, that the Elector of Bavaria has collected a large army, and train on the frontiers of Austria; and is determined to abandon his neutrality, and join France and Prussia—whose interests are inseparable.
The general attention seems, at the present moment, to be fearfully directed to the grand question: Shall the continent continue at peace or not?—The answer to this question will depend, in a great measure, upon the system which the court of Vienna may pursue. They who fear that peace will not be preserved, ground their opinion upon the continuance of the preparations for war, which are going on with greater activity than ever.
The Camp at Petau, in Styria, is already complete, and another is forming in the vicinity of Cracow: in the Tyrol they are employed very actively in strengthening several military posts; and the levy of sharpshooters is organizing again, and provided with arms. On the 8th instant a company of cannoniers marched for that province, another company for Venice, and a third for Upper Austria; at the same time orders have been sent to
Gen. Count Klenau, to march immediately with his corps to Budweis, in Bohemia, there to await further orders. This corps is said to consist of thirteen regiments of infantry, and two of cavalry.
PARIS, Aug. 31.
The frontiers of the Empire seem to be menaced by the movements of the Austrian armies. Thirty thousand men are to march from the camps of Boulogne to the banks of the Rhine. This intelligence may surprize those who have even foreseen it.
In fact, we might foresee that the envious hatred of the British Cabinet, and the fear with which the genius of the Emperor Napoleon fills it, would induce Mr. Pitt to exhaust all the efforts of intrigue and corruption, to divide the dangers that menaced England, and make the Continent share them with her; but we may well be astonished that Austria should have so soon forgotten the lesson of experience, and that she should still give herself up to those sinister councils which have twice dragged her to the brink of a bottomless abyss.
NEWPORT, Saturday, Nov. 2, 1805.
We are under the painful necessity of again apologising to our friends and the public in general, for this second delay of the publication of our paper.—As it has been owing to circumstances which we could neither foresee nor avoid; and as we have taken every possible measure to prevent a repetition of the like circumstances in future; we hope to be once more excused by a liberal and candid public. We at the same time assure our patrons and advertising friends, that the publication of our paper shall in future be regular and punctual.
At the last Supreme Judicial Court, held at South-Kingstown, MALBONE GARDINER, Esq. was admitted an attorney and practitioner at Law throughout the State.
TO THE PUBLIC.
HAVING undertaken the business of editing this paper, perhaps it may be of some consequence to its present patrons, and those who may hereafter become its subscribers, to be informed of the plan upon which it will in future be conducted, the cause to which it will be devoted, and the political principles by which it will be regulated. To furnish them with this necessary information is the object of the present address.
The plan upon which this paper will in future be conducted, is liberal and independent. The editor will uniformly be governed by the suggestions of his own judgment, and the deliberate and candid advice of his friends: He will not be controlled by a few interested and domineering patrons.—Sensible of the bad consequences which have arisen from a too free circulation of slanderous reports through the medium of newspapers, concerning the private characters of public men, and candidates for public offices, he is determined to do every thing in his power, to check, and if possible destroy, this great and public evil, as far as it relates to his own paper. And in order to carry his design in this particular into complete execution, he takes this opportunity of giving as public notice as the present circulation of his paper will permit, that if any person shall hereafter think himself injured, in consequence of any accusation, insinuation or allusion, which this paper may contain a-
gainst him, he shall in that case have the liberty of answering the charges of his accusers, through the same medium thro' which they were at first conveyed to the public ear.
The cause to which this paper will in future be devoted, considered in a general point of view, is nothing less than the cause of man; but considered with regard to the politics of this Country only, it may with more propriety be styled the cause of Republicanism.
The reader has undoubtedly by this time anticipated the political principles by which this paper will in future be regulated. I will therefore only observe, that if any person be desirous of becoming thoroughly acquainted with the nature and tendency of those principles, there is no way in which he can gratify his wishes in that particular, in so easy and effectual a manner, as by reflecting upon the principles recognized in our national Constitution, and the political regulations therein contained. He will there find a much more correct list of the political principles, by which, the editor in conducting this paper will be uniformly governed, than could be contained in a political creed of several columns.
N. BISBEE, JUN.
We understand that on the fifteenth of August, Mr. Munroe, our minister at London, had an interview with lord Mulgrave, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, on the subject of the recent captures, when it appeared that no new order had been issued, but that they proceeded from the decisions recently made in the high court of appeals, subjecting the trade between European hostile countries and their colonies through a neutral state to a much narrower rule than had been before contemplated. At this interview the subject was not discussed in detail between Mr. Munroe and the minister, but the latter assured him that there was nothing in the disposition of his government which would admit of an unfriendly measure against the U. States.
Another conference having been requested by Mr. Munroe, for the purpose of entering more fully into the affair, it remains to be seen what will be the issue of this important business.—Nat. Intel.

TRANSLATION FROM HORACE.
Otiam divos rogat in patenti, &c. FOR rest the weary sailor prays, Long rof'd on Ocean's restless bed, When clouds obscure the Moon's pale rays, And stars a fading lustre shed.
For rest the boist'rous Thracian calls, And rest the graceful Mede implores, Can sparkling gem, or broider'd shawl, My GASSIUS, make the blessing our's?
Not wealth in splendid pomp elate, Nor young Ambition's tow'ring crest, Can banish from the halls of state The harpy of the human breast.
He's truly rich whose frugal fare With some paternal token glows, Nor fear, nor sordid Av'rice dare To break the sweets of his repose.
Man, in his giant effort—dies! Toiling for honors and for pelf, Where other sons gild other skies, What exile can escape—himself?
Swift the light bark, the flying deer— Sweep earth and ocean's boundless plain: But viewing with the blast of Care, The tempests winged shafts are vain.
Philosophy can smile sedate On passing joys—nor looks to scan The moral mysteries of Fate— Pure bliss was never meant for Man?
Joel Barlow. —The Repertory, that repository of all that is illiberal, insulting and abusive, has announced, in its usual style of scurrility and reproach, that JOEL BARLOW , Esq. whose name alone reminds every friend to literature of his genius, and every friend to freedom, of his patriotism, is on a visit to Boston . The want of hospitality evinced in this mean attack cannot but disgust every liberal man, every gentleman. The injustice of the remarks must shock every one, who retains the feelings of an American. Mr. Barlow, it has hitherto been universally acknowledged, has added "a fresh and blooming laurel to the brow of American genius." PARK, the bankrupt vender of noisome drugs, and the despicable hireling of an unprincipled and ruined "Junto"—he alone would have ventured to assail the Poet, who ranks first among the bards of his country, and the Patriot who has undeviatingly advocated the "Rights of Man." We sincerely hope Mr. Barlow will again found the "trump of truth," and essay again to prostrate the walls of a political "Jericho," in the spirit, with which he penned the following inimitable lines, as the introduction to his celebrated "Conspiracy of Kings."
ÆGIS. "Eternal truth! thy trump undaunted lend! People and Priests, and Courts and Kings attend! While borne on western gales from that far shore, Where justice reigns, and tyrants tread no more; The undaunted voice, that no dissuasion awes, That fears no frown and seeks no blind applause, Shall tell the bliss that Freedom sheds abroad, The rights of Nature, and the gift of God!
