FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
MR. ADAMS, I AM induced to submit the following observations, on noticing the account of the Marquis Yrujo's having received new credentials as minister from the Court of Madrid to the United States.
Ambitious demagogues and the servile flatterers of men in power, are loud in proclaiming the opposition which the federalists have made to the political principles and conduct of Mr. Jefferson, as the result of disappointment, malice and revenge: knowing that these base passions prompted them to oppose the measures of Washington and Adams, they hesitate not to attribute the same unworthy motives to the federalists. Had the great body of the people been permitted to exercise their reason and reflection, uninfluenced by office-seekers and disorganizers , they would never have withdrawn their confidence from those men whose value in the field procured for this country its independence; and whose wisdom in council framed and carried into successful operation, the federal constitution of the United States. This change of public opinion, has been effected by means which all honest and independent minded men would frown to make use of. Would any one ask what these means are, I answer, by flattering the passions and prejudices of the people, by misrepresenting the principles and conduct of the federalists, and by a uniform practice of the arts and wiles of falsehood and intrigue.
By the too successful exercise of such honorable conduct, the management of the general government has been committed to the hands of its enemies; men who exerted every nerve to prevent its adoption; but when the public voice pronounced in favor of it, these pseudo patriots changed their ground of opposition quarrelled with, and opposed the administration of it, till finally, they have engrossed the sole direction of the public affairs.
The people are told, through the channel of the democratic press, that Mr. Jefferson is the greatest statesman in the world, and that he is the political favourite of the country, in short, "the man who has established the glory of America," and we have his own word , that we are "respected abroad;" but let me ask how is this respect for our present rulers manifested by foreign nations? Does it consist in the treatment our Executive received from the Spanish minister, the last winter?
I am led to this inquiry by noticing in a Baltimore paper, an account of the arrival in that city, of the Marquis Yrujo, who has lately received his re-appointment of Minister to this country, from the Court of Spain; and for this "homage of high consideration," which the King of Spain yields to our wise and respected rulers and to our national sovereignty, the people are wholly indebted to Mr. Jefferson.
During the administration of Washington and Adams, when our independence was more than a name, and our money instead of being lent off to enrich the coffers of a foreign despot, was appropriated to the defence of our sea ports and the protection of our commerce, this same Marquis de Casa Yrujo, treated the government of the United States in such a manner as to induce Mr. Adams, then President, to request of the Court of Madrid, the recall of the Marquis, this wish of our executive was readily complied with on the part of Spain, who signified to our government, that the Marquis wished to retire, and that they should appoint a successor; soon after this, the office of President of the United States passed into the hand of Mr. Jefferson, who to ingratiate himself with the king of Spain, and throw a stigma on the official conduct of his predecessor, solicited the re-appointment of Yrujo, from his Court. Thus he is the very man, of Mr. Jefferson's choice, & now he holds the independence & sovereignty of this country at defiance, through the weakness and folly of our present water-gruel administration. TRUTH.
As the situation of affairs between this country and Spain, have excited much public curiosity, we republish the following correspondence.
It now remains to see if Mr. Jefferson will comply with another requisition from Bonaparte, for what is Spain more than a colony of France?
NO. I.
Department of State, 15th Jan. 1806.
SIR—In consequence of the just objections which your conduct has furnished against your continuance here, as the organ of communication on the part of his catholic majesty, it was signified at Madrid, in the month of April last, through the mission of the United States there, that the substitution of another was desired by the president. In reply it was intimated by Mr. Cevallos, that as you had yourself expressed a wish and obtained permission to return to Spain, the purpose might be accomplished without the necessity of a recall, and that such a change in the mode would be agreeable to your government; in a spirit of conciliation the arrangement proposed by Mr. Cevallos was admitted, and it was not doubted, that it would without delay have been carried into effect. It is seen therefore, not without
surprise, that at this late day, you should have repaired to the seat of government as if nothing had occurred rendering such a step improper. Under these circumstances, the president has charged me to signify to you, that your remaining at this place is dissatisfactory to him, and that although he cannot permit himself to insist on your departure from the U. States during an inclement season, he expects it will not be unnecessarily postponed after this obstacle shall have ceased.
I am charged by the president, at the same time to let it be fully understood, that the considerations which have led to this explanation, being altogether personal, they are perfectly consistent with the ready admission of a successor, and with all the attention which can be due to whatever communications his catholic majesty may please to make with a view to cultivate harmony and friendship between the two nations.
I have the honor to be, Sir, with consideration and respect, your most obedient servant, (Signed) JAMES MADISON. The Marquis de Casa Yrujo.
No. 2.—(TRANSLATION.) Washington, 16th January, 1806. JAMES MADISON, Esq.
SIR, I have just received your letter of yesterday in which you are pleased to tell me, that from the president of the United States having solicited my recall in Madrid, in the month of April last, he has heard with surprise my arrival in this city, the residence of government, and that he thinks this step of mine improper, adding at the same time, that my stay here would be dissatisfactory to him. As the object of my journey is not with a view to hatch plots, to excite conspiracies, or to promote any attempt whatever against the government of the United States, and as hitherto, I have not either directly or indirectly committed acts of a similar tendency, which alone could justify the tenor and object of your letter, to which I reply, my arrival here is an innocent and legal act, which leaves me in the full enjoyment of all my rights and privileges, both as a public character or as a private individual. Making use therefore of these rights and privileges, I intend remaining in the city, four miles square, in which the government reside, as long as it may suit the interest of the king, my master, or my own personal convenience; I must at the same time add that I shall not lose sight of these two circumstances as respects the period and season in which our mutual desires for my departure from the United States are to be accomplished.
In regard to the objections which this government, in its wisdom, is pleased to call just , respecting the demand of my removal, I shall take the liberty of observing, that although this government no doubt, may have had their reasons to solicit it, they hitherto have forgotten to communicate them to mine; for Mr. Monroe's official letter to Mr. Cevallos on this subject, merely contains vague, undetermined, general assertions, destitute of any proof whatever. It is true that he alleges an attempt of mine to bribe a citizen of the United States; but it is equally so that as this assertion of government is grounded on a reference to a testimony already proved incorrect, I may without wounding the feelings of, or be wanting in that respect which I owe this administration, permit myself to call it false and calumnious, independent that in the letter I had the honor of writing to you, Sir, early in September 1804, in which this business was completely and satisfactorily explained. If, in fact, the editor of the Commercial Register, could ever be considered as an organ of truth, what would the American people think of their chief magistrate, or of the heads of the departments and of the acts of this administration? It is not my intention
to endeavor to change by this explanation the disposition of this government towards my person; my object is solely to fulfil the duty my situation imposes upon me, of again repelling an imputation which is as improbable in itself as it is calumnious against both my public and private character.
I shall therefore, Sir, communicate your letter of yesterday to my government. I shall also inform it of my answer thereto, and whenever by the order of the King my master I am to return to Spain. I shall quit the United States with sentiments of affection towards a virtuous people, in whose bosom I have lived ten years with the intimate testimony of having never committed any grounded offence against their government, and above all with the consoling satisfaction of having employed all my zeal and feeble talents in defence of the rights and interests of the best of Kings.
I have the honor to be, Sir, &c. (Signed) EL MARQUIS DE CASA YRUJO.
No. 3.—(TRANSLATION) Washington Jan. 19, 1806.
SIR, Having gone through the personal explanations, which for just motives I was compelled to enter into, in my first answer to your letter of the 15th inst. I must now inform you, Sir, what otherwise would then have constituted my sole reply; namely, That the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of his Catholic majesty, near the United States, receives no orders except from his sovereign. I must also declare to you, Sir, that I consider both the style and tenor of your letter as indecorous, and its object an infraction of the privileges attached to my publick character. This violation of the diplomatick rights and privileges as inexplicable in itself as it is ill grounded, requires on my part the most solemn protest against your said letter, its style, and the intent with which it was addressed to me.—I do therefore protest in the most solemn manner I possibly can, against this improper step of yours; a step which, under the existing circumstances, is as contrary to the diplomatick laws and usages, as it is to the spirit of the constitution and government of this country, and in order that your conduct, Sir, in this case, may not in any manner affect the privileges of the body to which I have the honour to belong. I shall immediately transmit to the other members thereof accredited near the United States, a copy of your said letter, of my first answer, and of this my protest, that on their part they may make the proper use thereof, and also that it may always appear that if there has existed, on the part of this administration, an arbitrary determination to violate the rights of embassy, respected by every civilized nation, there did also exist in me the just resolution of repelling any familiar attempt.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) EL MARQUIS DE CASA YRUJO.
The following extract is taken from the secret History of the Court of St. Cloud, an work of much celebrity, having run through two editions, in this country, in the course of a few months. We recommend a perusal of this book to all those who wish to obtain a knowledge of the character and principles of the Corsican Usurper, the friend of democrats, &c.
Paris, September, 1805.
MY LORD, After the treaty of Amiens had produced a general pacification, our government was seriously determined to reconquer from America, a part of those treasures its citizens had gained during the revolutionary war, by a neutrality which our policy and interest required, and which the liberality of your government endured. Hence the acquisition we made of New-Orleans, from Spain, and hence the intrigues of our emissaries in that
of provision for St. Domingo, by our minister and our generals. Had we been victorious in St. Domingo, most of our troops there were destined for the American continent, to invade according to circumstances, either the Spanish colonies on the Terra Firma , or the States of the American Commonwealth. The unforeseen rupture with your country postponed a plan which is far from being laid aside.
You may perhaps think that, since we sold Louisiana, we have no footing in America that can threaten the peace or independence of the United States; but may not the same dictates that procured us at Madrid the acquisition of New Orleans also make us masters of Spanish Florida? and do you believe it improbable that the present disagreement between America and Spain are kept up by our intrigues and by our future views? Would not a word from us settle in an instant, at Madrid, the differences as well as the frontiers, of the contending parties in America? And does it not seem to be the regular and systematic plan of our government to provoke the retaliation of the Americans, and to show our disregard of neutrality, and rights of independence; and, that we insult them, only because we despise them, and despise them only because we do not apprehend their resentment?
I have heard the late American minister here assert, that the American vessels captured by our cruisers and condemned by our tribunals, only during the last war, amounted to above five hundred; and their cargoes (all American property), to one hundred and fifty millions of livers, 6,000,000. Some few days ago, I saw a printed list, presented by the American Consul to our minister of the marine department, claiming one hundred and twelve American ships, captured in the West Indies, and on the coast of America, within these last two years: the cargoes of which have all been confiscated, and most of the crews still continued prisoners at Martinico, at Gaudaloupe, or Cayenne. Besides these, sixty-six American ships, after being plundered, in part, of their cargoes at sea by our privateers, had been released; and their claims for property thus lost, or damage done, amounted to one million three hundred thousand livers, 54,000.
You must have read the proclamation of our governors in the West-Indies, and therefore remember that one dated at Gaudaloupe, and another dated at the city of San Domingo, both declare, without farther ceremony, all American and other neutral ships and cargoes good and lawful prizes, when coming from or destined to any port in the Island of St. Domingo; because Bona parte's subjects there were in a state of rebellion. What would these philanthropists, who twelve years ago wrote so many libels against your ministers, for their pretended system of famine, have said, had they, instead of prohibiting the carrying of ammunition and provisions to the ports of France, thus extended their orders without discrimination or distinction? How would the neutral Americans, and the neutral Danes, and their then allies, philosophers and jacobins of all colours and classes, have complained and declaimed against the tyrants of the seas; against the enemies of humanity, liberty and equality. Have not the negroes now as much as our Jacobins had in 1793, a right to call upon all those tender-hearted schemers, dupes or impostors, to interest humanity in their favour? But, as far as I know, no friends of liberty have yet written a line in favor of these oppressed and injured men, whose former slavery was never doubtful, and who therefore had more reason to rise against their tyrants, and to attempt to shake off their yoke, than our French insurgents; who, free before, have, never since they revolted against lawful authori-
the Emperor Jacques, the First, has no propagators, no emissaries, no learned men, and no secret agents to preach insurrection in other states, while defending his own usurpation; besides, his treasury is not in the most brilliant and flourishing situation, and the crew of our white revolutionists are less attached to liberty than to cash.
Our ambassador to the U***** S****, Gen. T*****, is far from being contented with our friend, the president Jefferson, whose patriotic notions have not yet soared to the level of our patriotic transactions. He refused both to prevent the marriage of Jerome Bonaparte with a female American citizen, and to detain her after her marriage, when her husband returned to Europe. To our continual representation, against the liberties which the American newspapers take with our government, with our Emperor, with our Imperial family, and with our Imperial ministers, the answer has always been, "prosecute the libeller, and as soon as he is convicted, he will be punished." This tardy and negative justice is so opposite to our expeditionary and summary mode of proceeding, of punishing first, and trying afterwards, that it must be both humiliating and offensive. In return, when the Americans have complained to T*****, against the piracy of our privateers, he has sent them here to seek redress, where they also will to their cost discover that, in civil cases , our justice has not the same rapid march, as when it is a question of arresting or transporting suspected persons, or of tormenting, shooting or guillotining a pretended spy, or supposed conspirator.
Had the peace of Europe continued, Bernadotte was the person selected by Bonaparte and Talleyrand, as our representative in America;—because, we then intended to strike, and not to negotiate.
But, during the present embroiled state of Europe, an intriguer was more necessary than either a warrior or a politician. A man, who has passed through all the mire of our own revolution, who has been in the secrets, and an accomplice of all our factions; is undoubtedly a useful instrument, where factions are to be created & directed, where wealth is designed for pillage, and a state for overthrow. General T**** is therefore in his place, and at his proper post, as ambassador in America.
SCRAPS.
The following circumstance has been related by an eye-witness:—A hen, the property of Mr. Payne, of Furnival-street, Edinburgh, lately had five chickens, four of which were at different times carried away by a rat. One day last week, the marauder, watching his opportunity, seized the fifth, when the hen suddenly and fiercely attacked him, that he was compelled to quit his prey, and defend himself, which he did, by rearing on his hind legs, and flying at her throat, while she repeatedly assailed him about the head with her spurs. At length, after a battle of ten minutes, she laid him dead at her feet.—Lon. pap.
The ensuing recipe for the bite of that mad dog, Rebellion, is found in the Edinburgh review. In the estimation of the wilful political doctors it is an infallible remedy:—
While the Jacobin emissaries were making some progress among the lower orders of the people in St. Petersburg, Catharine had them all seized one evening, and carried to the Lunatic asylum , where they were properly shaved, blistered, burned and phisicked. After fourteen days of this wholesome regimen , they were restored to the public view, and universally flavoured as insane .
In the Limerick paper, an Irish gentleman, whose lady had absconded from him, thus cautions the public against trusting her:—My wife has eloped from me without rhyme or reason , and I desire no one will trust her on my account, for I am not married to her.

Foreign Intelligence.
BY AN ARRIVAL AT NEWYORK, LONDON DATES TO AUGUST 7, HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.
LONDON, AUG. 6, 1806.
Negotiations of Peace.
Earl Lauderdale, (a Scotch Peer) has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary on the part of our government, to conduct the negotiations with the Court of St. Cloud. He left London on Saturday, reached Deal on Sunday morning, immediately embarked on board the Clyde of 38 guns, Commodore Owen, which landed his Lordship at Calais, at 10 o'clock that day; and returned immediately. His Lordship was accompanied by Dugald Stuart, (Professor of Moral Philosophy and Natural History in the University of Edinburgh,) and Mr. Basilico, the Messenger, who will bring back his Lordship's first dispatches.
The Funds still keep rising. Consols are at 65 1-2
France and Spain.
The Lisbon mails state, that the Emperor Bonaparte has made the following demands on the King of Spaine:—
 1. To receive an ambassador from King Joseph, of Naples:—  2. To consent to the dethronement of the Queen of Etruria. The Spanish King's daughter.  3. To cede Catalonia, Arragon, Navarre, and Biscay to France, thereby making the river Ebro the boundary between France and Spain, instead of the Pyrenees. 
The Court of Madrid made strong remonstrances against these pretensions; and, it is said, war was even threatened by the French Minister six hours before his Catholic Majesty consented to the measures. Accounts from Spain have partly corroborated these tidings; and the late assembly of a French army in the vicinity of Bayonne had a threatening aspect towards Spain or Portugal.
Sweden, Russia and Prussia.
AUGUST 4.
Extremities have not yet been resorted to, between Prussia and Sweden. Gustavus Adolphus has taken high ground, and maintained it with a spirit and inflexibility worthy a descendant of Charles XII. But Russia is interpolating its mediation for an amicable settlement; and Prussia has a force on foot ready to pounce at once upon Swedish Pomerania. A Continental Peace being settled, Sweden will have no object to induce it to maintain its military attitude.
Russia, France and Turkey.
It is now said Russia is on the eve of a war with Turkey; and that the former will be countenanced by the large French army now assembling in Albania and Dalmatia. The first effect of a general peace, if it should take place, will be, the extirpation of the Ottoman Power from Europe.
NAPLES, JULY 19, 1806.
Gaeta.
Yesterday Gaeta surrendered to the French. As soon as the great breach was formed in the citadel, at the foot of the counterescarp, which in extent was sufficient to contain 16 men in front, three columns of French troops were ready to ascend it; and the grenadiers which composed the first, waited with glorious impatience the signal of assault.
The Marshal Massena, demanded the surrender for the last time. The besiegers asked for several hours delay in order to obtain the permission of the Prince of Phillipstad, [who, it appears by another paper, had been wounded, and repaired on board a British vessel,] but they were answered, that in one hour the place would be taken by force of arms. The appearance of the columns ready to march at a moment's warning, a breach already made and easy to be mounted, and the security of being treated agreeably to the laws of war, were the potent reasons which induced the garrison to capitulate.
The garrison are prisoners of war, with permission to march off, but not to serve in 18 months. The artillery and magazines were delivered to the French in the state in which they were found. The other articles are as yet unknown.

BALTIMORE, SEPT. 16.
By letters from St. Louis, (on the Mississippi, near the confluence of the Missouri) we have accounts of the existence of the most disgraceful scenes—of anarchy, misrule, and barbarity. The parties we are told, are all democrats, ins and outs.—One of the Commissioners (Judges) has been attacked with a bludgeon while on the bench of justice; and had to resort to his sword-cane for defence. The French inhabitants observe with wonder and surprise, this conduct of their new comers—the professed disciples of liberty and law. What measures have been taken by the President to correct these proceedings, we know not. But we know what Washington and Adams would have done.
PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 17.
The Marquis Yrujo arrived in town yesterday, on his way to the seat of government. His secretary informs that the Marquis received the thanks of his sovereign for his "faithful services in this country," and that the Spanish government will insist on his being again received and treated with all the attention due to the Minister of a great and powerful nation!!! [Baltimore American.]
NEWYORK, SEPT. 20.
Of Peace—again.
Capt. Story arrived yesterday from Leghorn, informs, that August 16th, off Malaga he was boarded from the British cutter L'Espoir, of 18 guns, capt. Hope, then only two days from Gibraltar; the officers of which informed capt. Story, in such a manner as to induce him to credit their information, that authentic accounts had reached Gibraltar, direct, that on the 4th August, PRELIMINARIES OF PEACE between Spain and Great Britain, were signed at Madrid; and that it was the general opinion at Gibraltar, that a GENERAL PEACE would soon take place.
From the Weekly Inspector.
In the National Intelligencer of the 10th inst. are "THOUGHTS on the subject of NAVAL power in the UNITED STATES of America; and on certain means of encouraging & protecting their commerce and manufactures."—No. I.
This is such a compound of something like intellect, and sheer madness, that it defies all analysis. We will, however, express our ideas on the subject, in fewer words than this man has sentences.
"In the first place, (he says in substance,) a navy may destroy our liberties." So a man may cut his throat with a dull knife; therefore let us abolish the use of steel.
2. "Impressments arise from a naval establishment. The seaman may be torn from his family and forced to serve the public, without an adequate compensation."
And are we obliged to adopt the bad, and reject the good of every establishment? A house may be burnt by culinary fire, or struck with lightning from heaven. Shall we then live in caves, and abolish the use of fire?
3. "A navy will sink the nation by its expenses."
Pray, was a man ever made poor by taking money from one pocket and putting it into another? I tell you, sir, the money expended in building a navy will not go out of the country.
4. "The navy of Great Britain is a splendid instrument of ruin."
Without a navy, however, she would be a province of France, and the whole world at the feet of the most rapacious tyrant that ever disgraced humanity.
Without an American navy, we shall soon have no commerce; without a commerce, we shall have no revenue; without a revenue, no government. Then huzza for the "rights of man," and "the cave of the mountain!"
From the North-Carolina Journal.
To the Editor.
Sir, In order to prevent misrepresentation we beg you to insert in your paper the following communication.
On the 24th instant, we accompanied Messrs. Allen J. Davie and T. Burges, both of this place, to the
State of Virginia, where they engaged in the settlement of a dispute which they conceived could not stop short of a duel. The gentlemen, with great intrepidity and firmness, exchanged a shot without doing any execution after which a parley took place between us, (their seconds) and as we were of opinion that the cause was not sufficient for either of them to risk the other of life, the dispute was then accommodated to the honor and satisfaction of both gentlemen.

SAMUEL M'CULLOCH.
Halifax, Aug. 30. 1806.
The above singular letter is taken from a late southern print; and we cannot republish it without reflecting with amazement on the conduct of the signers. It impliedly admits that a cause might have existed which would have justified either of them (Allen or Burges) in robbing the other of life. And does such a sentiment find its way to the press in a civilized country? But if this was the opinion of these two gentlemen of honor, I would ask then how they can justify it to their consciences to stand by and permit the two duellists to make the attempt before they interfered. N. Y. Herald.
The following curious circumstance occurred yesterday, at Mr. George Eyre's ship-yard, Kensington.
On heaving down the ship Pennsylvania Packet, lately from Canton, in order to discover a small leak, which she had experienced on her passage home, it was found that she had been struck about 6 feet below the keel by a Sword Fish, which had driven its tusk or sword through the copper sheathing and bottom plank, to the ceiling inside; and being unable to draw it out again, had left it remaining in the bottom, and broken short off outside. The force with which it was driven in, was so great as to splinter the plank and cause the leak. Had the sword been withdrawn, its probable the Ship would have made more water than could have been lifted by the pumps. Part of the sword was cut off in extricating it, the remainder measures ten inches long, and nearly two inches in diameter.—Philad. pap.
NORTHAMPTON, SEPT. 17.
Yesterday the Supreme Judicial Court commenced its session in this town. The charge to the Grand Jury, by His Honor Chief Justice Parsons, was able, appropriate and splendidly eloquent.—From the high legal reputation of the Chief Justice while at the bar, the audience very naturally expected an address to the Grand Jury, which should not have been surpassed on any similar occasion, in this country since the first settlement of the state. It will not be derogating from the learning or respectability of any of the Honourable Members of that Court, to express our decided opinion, that no man, who heard the charge, was dissatisfied or disappointed. It was perspicuous, dignified and forcible—the legal principles it contained, the professional character of Judge Parsons will sanction us in saying, were unquestionable correct, and those of a more general nature we know were such as every intelligent and honest American would be proud to cherish. An upright and independent Judiciary is the fairest pillar of our government; and we congratulate our fellow-citizens, that no state in the union can, in this respect, boast a superiority to this Commonwealth.
BOSTON, SEPT. 25.
FROM SPAIN.
Capt. Shattuck, who arrived here on Wednesday, sailed from Cadiz on the 15th of Aug. On the 10th, an express came to Cadiz, with information of the conclusion of a General Peace. It was said, the Preliminaries were signed at Paris on the 31st of July. There were 15 sail of the line lying at Cadiz (French and Spanish) ready for sea. A grand feu de joie was fired from the ships and forts soon after the receipt of the news of peace. The people were almost distracted with joy at the intelligence.
It was reported, that the French troops in Naples had made an attempt against Sicily, and been defeated with great loss.
Jamaica Fleet.
Capt. Knight, of the brig Speedwell, arrived at Newburyport on
Sunday last, on the 10th Sept. 1st 36, 30, long, 162, 37, fell in, after the gale, with the remains of the last homeward bound Jamaica fleet, which originally consisted of 140 sail under convoy of three frigates and one brig there were only 43 sail safe. Nine were ascertained to have been lost, with all their crews, and it was supposed the greater part of the other 88 must have shared the same fate. —One of the frigates, Capt. Daffwood, who commanded the convoy had put into Bermuda, (with the loss of her masts) for repair. The cargoes of those saved were all more or less damaged.
Spanish Ministry.
The last Aurora suggests an opinion, in its usual matter-of-fact way, that the Marquis Yrujo has not been re-appointed Minister to the United States. This fact is however opposed to the declaration of several Spanish Consuls, who have been officially notified, that the King of Spain having entirely approved the official conduct of Mr. Yrujo, had re-appointed him to exercise his functions as Minister to the U. S. from the Court of Madrid.
There does not appear to be any foundation in the report, of several cases of yellow fever having occurred in Newyork. Our papers and letters of Monday last, assure us, that the city was very healthy; and every thing appeared to indicate the continuance of health through the season.
LIBELS.
The Hampshire Federalist, of Tuesday last, gives the following statement of a trial, before the Supreme Judicial Court, for three several libels on His Excellency Gov. STRONG:—
"At the Supreme Court, at Northampton, last week came on the trial of Andrew Wright, printer of the Republican Spy, for three libels upon his Excellency Governor STRONG.
"The first of which charged him with having been guilty of speculation and persecuting a printer for publishing the truth.
"The second charged him with his intrigue and undue solicitation of the Supreme Court, for the Clerk's office in this county, for his son.
"The third libel charged the Governor with basely and cowardly sacrificing, and spurning at the rights of the people to gratify a junto of Aristocrats in the nomination and appointment of Sheriff WARD, in the county of Worcester.
"There was in the first libel, a charge that the Governor screened himself under the rule of Law that the truth should not be given, in evidence. On this trial the counsel for the prosecution agreed without making any question to the Court, that the truth might be given in evidence.
"The defendant's counsel offered evidence to prove the truth of the facts charged in each of those libels, but in the opinion of the Jury, who tried the cause, and of most, who heard it, they wholly failed to prove either of the charges.
"Chief Justice Parsons, who presided at the trial, in a most masterly manner summed up the cause to the Jury, stated the principles upon which the indictment was founded, declared that they were the judges whether the defendant had made the publication—whether it fairly had the meaning given to it in the indictment, and the intent of publishing, but said he could not avoid expressing his opinion of the Law in regard to giving the truth in evidence:—That in relation to persons who were in public offices, or were candidates for such offices, he conceived our government had provided by the constitution—that the truth might be published, provided it was told in decent language, and with honest intention to give information to the people; but that this could never be any justification for publishing falsehood either by charging private vice upon a public officer, or accusing him of failure in his public duties.
"After stating the evidence very correctly, he left also to the jury the question, whether the defendant had provided the truth of the charge, or either of them. The Jury gave a general verdict of Guilty. The defendant's counsel then took exceptions to the opinion of the Chief Justice in rejecting certain evidence,
which at the suggestion of the Court was changed into a motion for a new trial. One of the objections was for not receiving evidence respecting the contents of a letter which the witness had at home, and another for refusing the reading of certain newspapers published in Worcester county, to prove the fact that the county was in an uproar on account of WARD's appointment, when no evidence had been given of his being appointed. The Court, Sedgwick and Sewall, were extremely clear that the Chief Justice had proceeded regularly in excluding the evidence, and he declared himself very well satisfied that the subject had been brought before the Court, but retained his opinion—and thereupon after expatiating upon the nature and aggravations of the offence, the Chief Justice awarded sentence against the defendant, that he be imprisoned for six months, pay costs of prosecution, and at the end of six months, find sureties for his good behaviour for three years from that time.

Of Peace.
Will peace take place between England and France? is a question asked by almost every one that feels an interest in the passing events of the present day. The week past has brought many rumours which renders it highly probable that a general peace will be effected in Europe the present season; but no one will expect that we can pronounce with certainty on this subject whilst those who are situated near the theatre of the contending parties, remain in doubt. That Lord Lauderdale has proceeded to Paris with full powers to negotiate with Bonaparte, is a fact, and it is not probable that the English Cabinet would have sent an Ambassador, unless the overtures from the French Government were such, as to afford a reasonable prospect for a termination of the war.
Should peace take place, it will very greatly affect the interest of this country; it will be felt first by the mercantile class of our citizens, and from them extend to the farmer and mechanic. Every kind of American produce will experience a fall. These are no small considerations, but we may expect difficulties from another quarter, of a more serious nature. Tho' we are not disposed to excite unreasonable alarms, yet it is well to recollect that our national disputes with the European powers remain in an unsettled state; will Bonaparte when unrestrained by the naval force of England, be more moderate in demanding our money; or will Spain be more disposed to comply with the wishes of Mr. Jefferson, and settle the boundaries of the land of Salt Mountains."
Miranda and Co.
The plasterers of Mr. Jefferson's conduct deny his having any knowledge of Miranda's plans previous to his having sailed from the United States; and no doubt there are many in this country who are so bigoted in favour of the present administration, that they believe it possesses such a high degree of infallibility that it can do no wrong; and that the President has discharged the duties of his office in a manner to protect the lives and interests of the citizens of America.
But the most ample testimony has been laid before the public that our great men at Washington were fully apprized of the plans and views of Miranda, even before he began to make preparations for the expedition; yet our executive did not take the least step to prevent our citizens from engaging in it at the time, or to protect our neutrality from being violated. What has been the consequences of this shameful neglect of public duty? Our citizens have been sacrificed, have suffered an ignominious death—but Gallo careth for none of these things.
Facts are stubborn things, the following are from the Newyork Herald,

and can be proved by the most irrefragable evidence.
1. A letter just at the time of Miranda's arrival, fully developing his design was sent from Europe to a gentleman in New York, and by him transmitted, some weeks before Miranda went to Washington, to the Secretary of State, who soon afterwards acknowledged the receipt of it, and having perused, returned it.
2. During Miranda's stay at Washington, he received marked civilities from the Secretary; was visited by him; visited him in turn and received a complimentary dinner.
3. He visited also the President, and disclosed personally to him as he had done to the Secretary his intentions, place of operations, &c. &c.
4. A Bill pending before Congress prohibiting the exportation of arms and ammunition was arrested in its progress, on the suggestion of Miranda, that it would obstruct his enterprise.
5. The equipment of the Leander was a matter of general notoriety in the city of New-York and was in an especial manner made known to an officer of the government.
6. Eleven days before the Leander failed, Gen. Miranda wrote from New-York both to the President and Secretary of State, thanking them for civilities and informing them that having acted in every thing according to the intentions of the government, he was on the point of leaving the United States.
7. During all this time not the least attempt was made to hinder, or in any way obstruct the enterprise. Nor was it till after Miranda had failed nearly four weeks, long enough to be out of the way of appearing as a witness against them and that doubts began to be entertained of his success that the administration disavowed all concern with him. It was not till after this time when intimations were given that they would have to answer for it to Spain, that they resorted to the desperate expedient of ordering criminal proceedings to be instituted against those very persons whom they had encouraged to proceed and who were only protected by the righteous verdict of their country, (consisting of men of all parties) from falling a sacrifice to the most wicked, perfidious and detestable prosecution that ever disgraced a civilized country. And is it possible, that after all this there are to be found in America, preces base enough to defend this conduct? Answer ye Ritches, Smiths, Duane, and Cheethams. And do we believe ye venal simpletons, that your imbecile and wretched attempts to defend Mr. Jefferson, will be received as satisfactory by Spain for our violation of our neutrality? Read the letter which follows this article, and tell me ye mercenary instruments of a weak and wicked, manoeuvring administration, whether all your efforts can wash out the cursed spot caused by the blood of the victims at Carracas?
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST.
"Sir," "I take the freedom of dropping you this line, in order to undeceive you with regard to the fate of the unfortunate crews of Miranda's two schooners. It is stated in Laguira by all the Spaniards, as well governmental officers as others, that of the two crews, ten of the principal men (viz. the officers) were hung at Port Cavello: and all the remainder sent to the mines, or put in confinement for life. From these, however, is to be excepted two boys, from 12 to 14 years of age, who are to be sent back to the United States. This is said, in Laguira, to be the real fate of the crews, and is universally credited by Spaniards and Americans—indeed I have no doubt of its correctness. After these people were hung, their heads were taken off, and six sent to Carracas, two to Laguira, and two kept at Port Cavello. The two heads sent to Laguira are put up in iron cages, and hung on lofty poles just without the front gate of the city. Mr. Lynch a very intelligent gentleman from Philadelphia, now residing at Carracas, told me, that he saw the two heads when first put up at Laguira—they were then fresh and he felt pretty confident that one of them was the head of Capt. Donecheu. (I presume I do not spell the name properly) the other he thought to be capt. Gardner—this, however must be only conjecture."
The reason why I did not mention the above circumstances in my letter to you from Quarantine Ground, was, that I supposed the American public must have been possessed of the facts some time before. You will excuse my troubling you with this relation, as it is merely to satisfy your own mind upon the subject."
SEVENTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! "O Lord! O Lord! O Lord! O Lord!" "Fine doings these, upon my word!" Our immaculate administration have paid, and have to pay, no less a sum than seventeen millions of dollars to the common enemy of mankind! And this will probably go to purchase bayonets to be plunged in the bosoms of American freemen! Well may every native American citizen accost each promoter of such a measure, in language similar to that of Shylock in the play: "Thou stick'st a dagger in me:—I shall never see my cash again! Seventeen millions of dollars!—ONE THOUSAND CART LOADS OF SILVER DOLLARS!!"— Weekly Inspector.
* Seventeen millions of dollars would nearly load one thousand carts, allowing a ton for each.
The Governor of New-Hampshire, by advice of Council, has appointed Thursday the 27th of November next as a day of public Thanksgiving and praise throughout the state.
More "Democrat eating Democrat." At the Court of Common Pleas, held in the county of York a few days since, the jury gave a verdict of 600 dollars damages in a suit brought by Joseph Bartlett, Esq. against Nathaniel Willis, jun. Editor of the EASTERN ARGUS , for a libel. These two good democrats, who cheek by jole , commenced the patriotic work of revolutionizing the district of Maine, are now pursuing the "unprofitable contest, of trying which can do the other most harm." With the award of the jury, we understand neither party is satisfied, the action is appealed for another trial at the Superior Court.
A friend has communicated a short sketch of this "important trial"—The writ, which is said to have been from fifteen to twenty feet in length, contained a number of charges against Mr. B. the plaintiff; which were alleged to be false, scandalous, and malicious , and published in the Eastern Argus , and proved to be so. At the trial, two or three charges were not attempted to be proved. An attempt was made to prove Mr. B. a swindler, and about ten or twelve instances were shortly stated, but not verified by evidence. The Plaintiff was charged with having sent a challenge to the Rev. Mr. Holmes, of Cambridge. This charge Mr. Holmes himself, contradicted in his deposition, produced in Court. But we do not wish to occupy much of our paper with the quarrels of others, and more especially as this action will have another trial, and we consider it unfair to prejudice the public mind in any cause which is to have an impartial decision by the legal tribunal of the country. But should the Editor of the Argus be found guilty of publishing a false, scandalous and malicious libel against his brother democrat? Ques:—Will there be as many tender "sympathies" excited in his favor, as were called forth for the democratic printer Osborn, when convicted of having published a false, scandalous and malicious libel against Judge Deming ? Look out for more smut next Tuesday morning.
VENICE BLOCKADED.
On the 26th of July, the King of England caused it to be signified by the Rt. Hon. C. J. Fox, Secretary for foreign affairs, to the Ministers of friendly and neutral powers residing at the Court of St. James, that His Majesty has caused the most rigorous blockade to be established at the entrance of all the ports of Venice. This order was published in London only four days before Lord LADDERDALE, left London for Paris—This does not look much like peace. The general opinion in England, was, at the last dates, that Mr. Fox would soon resign in consequence of ill health.

A western paper mentions the arrival of Colonel Burr, at Cincinnati, (Ohio) and that he was moving westward. The New-York Commercial Advertiser, says, "From information recently received, we have been induced to believe that powerful efforts will soon be made to sever the western states from the Union, connect them with Louisiana, and form the whole into a distinct empire, with Col. Burr at its head. Whether, if these treasonable efforts should succeed, the new empire will be independent, or a Viceroyalty of Bonaparte, time only will develop."— Cen.

In the prompt and cheerful discharge of the domestic duties, she was equalled by few, surpassed by none. From the commencement of the disorder, she entertained a belief that it would terminate but with her existence, and waited the event with all that calmness and resignation, which the consolations of religion and a humble reliance on the merits of a Redeemer afford.

A short Poetical Epistle, from Major NOBLE BAGS to the Hon. Mr. SCATTERING.
MASSACHUSETTS, SEPT. 1806.
DEAR SIR—How wretched was our fate, While Puffin rul'd our native state; But haply, late, a patriot band Arose, and sav'd a linking Land. To you, 'tis known, (but this between us,) That civil broils elicit genius, Call forth new Talents to the light, Unken'd before by human light— And give to Cowardice, much more, Of spunk than e'er it had before. Hence Dana shone in high debate, Respecting Gov'ner of the State, And eloquently did support Our Magna Charta, the Report, 'Gainst Titcomb, Phillips, Otis, Gore, And many of the Faction more, Amid the fed'ral noise and clamour, So often rais'd in Senate Chamber, While Chids and others risqu'd their necks, With brother Hill of Middlesex, By nobly aiding in the cause, Of Freedom, and Election—laws. There, first, I saw you, candidare For Massachusett's Chair of State, Which many thought you'd grace as soon As James Sulvan, or Caleb Stoon.— As both were zealous for our party, We form'd, you know, a friendship hearty, And did good offices to many, Especially to Mr. Dana. Altho' we fail'd, in minor plans, The Government's partly in our hands; And should we practice all our arts, And act, as usually, our parts, Our candidate, another year, Will take, as Varium lays, the Chair, While you in state-affairs no novice, Will doubtless hold the second office. By which you'll answer all your ends, And help to offices your friends,— Among the meritorious many, You'll not o'er look our patron, Dana.— Who even now, in vision, sees Th' Attorney Gen'ral's arim'd feet. You'll then, at least, a dozen dishes On me bestow of loaves and fishes; For he that works for public good, Most certainly deserves his food. Thus, Mr. Scattering, I'll befriend ye, Whatever Fortune shall attend ye, In spite of all the fed'ral Wags. Your humble Servant, NOBLE BAGS.
LATE OMISSIONS.
SPANISH OUTRAGE.
FROM THE POLITICAL REGISTER. Captain John Miles, jr. late master of the sloop Mary, of New-Haven, has arrived at that port, after an absence of nearly 14 months. Capt. Miles sailed from New-Haven on the 18th July, 1805, on a voyage to the River Oronoque, on the Spanish Main, where he arrived the 1st of October following. The governor, on examining his papers, immediately took possession of the vessel and cargo, consisting of 300 barrels of flour (worth 30 dollars per barrel) some beef, butter, &c. The reason alleged was, that she had no sea-letter. At the time of sailing there were no blank sea-letters signed by the Secretary of State, in the office, and the collector of the port gave capt. Miles a certificate to that effect, which was produced, but to no purpose. After some months, the owner of the vessel having got information of capt. Miles' situation, obtained a sea-letter in form, with a certificate from the collector, that the Mary was entitled to that sea-letter on her sailing; also, the depositions of the owners, as to the citizenship of the captain and people, the ownership of the vessel, her sailing, &c. &c. and in addition, a consular certificate, and forwarded; all which were received by capt. M. in May last and laid before the Governor. These papers made a momentary impression upon him; but finally he told capt. M. that the papers were all forged, and that he could not give up the property. In the mean time, the people, some of whom had attempted to escape and get home, to give information of their situation, had been taken up; their money, (about 600 dollars) taken from them by the governor, and they were thrown into prison, where they remained several months; but were, at length on the repeated solicitations of the capt. and others, liberated; but they, as also the capt. were ordered not to leave the place. They remained some months in this situation; till finding the vessel and cargo ruined, no hope of release, or of redress, and suspicious that the governor to secure himself from responsibility for the property thus wantonly destroyed, might find means to take care of them, and prevent any information getting home to their friends; they determined at the hazard of their lives, to attempt their escape, which by the Providence of God, they happily effected, and arrived safe at Trinidad in July last, leaving every thing behind them in the hands of the governor.

"Indian Lock and Key!"
A gentleman, passing lately through the settlement of Seneca Indians, at Squawkey Hill, near the Genesee River, noticed an Indian hut with the door shut and two or three small sticks set up against it. On inquiry, he was surprised to learn that this was a signal that the family was absent, and that no Indian of another family, would enter the house, or by any means could be induced to enter, when it is thus closed.
A Sheriff's officer, on being lately asked what he meant by continually saying that he was a distinguished member of an harmonious society , answered, that he belonged to a catch club . [ Con. Pop. ]

Lee's Bilious Pills.
Extract of a letter, dated Fort Ann, (State of Newyork) July, 1806, from Doctor ISAAC SARGANT, to Doctor Samuel H. P. Lee, New-London.
HAVING been for about fifteen years in the practice of Physick, in this place, where the most prevailing diseases are of the bilious kind, and frequently those of the most alarming and obstinate grade, I had with much anxiety witnessed the deficiency of the Gutharia generally made use of in those complaints, and anxious to find a better composition than any I had yet been acquainted with: at the advice of a friend, I made trial of your "NEW-LONDON BILIOUS PILLS"—which so far exceeded any other medicine of the kind in their good effects in removing the complaints for which they were administered that I have now for a number of years, made use of a number of dozen boxes in my Practice in each year, much to the advantage of my patients. I use so many of your pills, that it would be an object to purchase them direct from you, therefore will thank you for your prices for cash, delivered at Troy, &c. &c. ISAAC SARGANT.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, one of the professors in the seminary of sciences at Camden, (S. C.) to his sister in N. London—Communicated by Mr. James Bulkeley, merchant, of New-London, Dated Oct. 1805.
"South-Carolina has never, perhaps, since its settlement witnessed so sickly a season as the last summer, and the devouing pestilence still continues its alarming ravages—and it has not been confined to this State alone. Its devastating march has extended from Virginia to Georgia." "I have, however, been so fortunate as to escape an attack from those dreadful fevers which prevail in this country; and I attribute my escape, in a great measure, to the extraordinary virtues of certain Pills, manufactured by Dr. Lee of New-London; the good effects of which, in preventing those disorders which arise from bile, are certainly undoubted."
