FROM THE ENQUIRER.
VINDICATION OF MR. JEFFERSON.
No. VI.
TO THOMAS TURNER.
I HAVE pursued you through all the various charges, which you have brought forward against Mr. Jefferson's conduct during the revolution, with all that indignation and pity which ignorance and prejudice so eminently deserve. At each step of my investigation, I find the character of the criminal rising upon my view, whilst the character of his persecutor is rapidly descending below the horizon. You have undertaken a task, sir, which is above the strength of mortal man to accomplish: the task of opposing the most irresistible truths; but you have discharged that office with an imprudence and imbecility, which would disgrace the meanest logician. In the face of the American people you have pronounced the most refutable charges against the most elevated character in our country, without a single document to give them coloring; without having a single witness whom you could dare to name.
I know not what effect will be made upon your mind by the authenticated records, and the respectable witnesses which I have produced. I have no doubt but the same bitterness of passion which led you into error, will prompt you to deny the refutation; but upon my mind the conclusion is indelibly fixed, that this body of evidence is too great to be resisted and that there is not a single trait of truth in the accusations which you have suggested. Your political friends, sir, may admire the extraordinary zeal which prompted you to the encounter, but even they must ridicule the feebleness of the champion who aimed the blow.
You accuse Mr. Jefferson of basely deserting his post in the hour of danger. When Arnold made his attack upon Manchester, you represented the Governor of Virginia flying before his troops, with an unwarrantable timidity. We have proved, that so far from flying, he remained in the very face of the danger; that in assuming deserting his post, he displayed an uncommon activity in preserving the military stores and the public records. You repeat the same tale, when you come to speak of Tarleton's incursions; you place the resignation of Mr. Jefferson upon the public records, when these records expressly contradict it, and in the full use of your poetical licence, you asperse him in the very path of the enemy, and in the neighborhood of Monticello, when he has peaceably retired to his estate in Bedford. You represent him as a dastardly coward, who wants both the spirit of a man, and the energy of an officer, when there is scarcely an act of private life, scarce a measure of his public administration, which does not make it a matter of doubt, whether he has been most wise in the selection of his ends, or most resolute in the prosecution of his expedients.
You would have erred, sir, in expecting from Mr. J. those brilliant feats of chivalry, those extraordinary effusions of passion, those pompous scenes of courage, which distinguish some men in the active scenes of life. Mr. J. is neither a Thraco, nor a Bonaparte; his literary pursuits have raised him above the military achievements of the one, and rendered unnecessary the pompous pretensions of the other. He was not educated in l'Ecole militaire, but amid the shades of academic bowers. His pursuits have led him into the retirement of his closet, and not into the battle of life. Cut off from all those little interests which agitate the mind, and force men into collision with each other, he has been fortunate enough to avoid the disgusting scenes of contention, and when those occasions have rarely occurred, his cool and philosophical temper has enabled him to subdue his own feelings, or direct the passions of others. Had you taken the trouble to have extended your enquiries into Mr. Jefferson's early life, you would have heard the companions of his youth asserting the intrepidity of his character; you would have found that in supposing a riot at Gloucester occasioned by the crew of a vessel, he shewed a presence of mind which would have been worthy of a more dignified cause. Had you viewed his public measures with impartiality, instead of listening to a "thousand" nameless "witnesses," you would have found him employing every exertion which his situation admitted, for the good of his country, and in the high office which he at present fills, surpassing your most favorite statesman in the importance of his services. If, sir, you have found any better proof of the energy of an officer than the success of his measures, you would perhaps render a substantial service to your friends by divulging the discovery.
It is time, then, sir, that you should exchange situations with the illustrious patriot whom you have abused. With your eyes open to all the consequences of your proceedings, you have placed him at the bar of persecution and infamy, and it is time that your own experience should
teach you the consequences of your passionate impeachment. I therefore charge you in the name of the violated majesty of truth, with gross ignorance, or willful misrepresentation. I charge you not with one error alone, for that might have been pardoned as the inevitable frailty of the understanding, but with a long series of assertions, which are neither supported by the majesty of truth, nor sanctioned by the dignity of virtue. It is then time since not even your own name, nor the consistency of your opinions can relieve you from your embarrassment, that you should summon "the oldest and most respectable inhabitants of Richmond" to come forth in your behalf. In issuing these summons you would do well to take the advice of an opponent. Call no man to vouch for your assertions, whose evidence may be brought into contempt, by the obvious impurity of his motives. Above all, avoid the aid of such citizens as have not forgotten their resentment to Mr. J. for the loss of a place, and such foreigners as have not yet forgotten their attachment to the king of Great Britain.
Until you shall exonerate yourself from these charges, I shall pause in my researches. Until these are completely wiped away, you can scarcely hope that the other part of your attack will be entitled to respect, or that the world will demand a vindication. It would be injustice to the author to suppose that his work was unequal in its parts:
Spiritus intus alit, totamque insusa per artus Mens agitat molem, et magno corpore miscet.
One mind inhabits, one diffuse soul Wields the large limbs, and mingles with the whole.
The same spirit pervades even the minutest ramifications; the same boldness of assertion without proof, the same petulance of temper without discretion. To this unfortunate predicament, are you therefore reduced; either you must undertake the unavailing task of answering charges against yourself, which are recorded in the indelible lines of truth, or you must suffer the charges which you have brought against others to fall through the default of evidence. It will acquire even greater ingenuity than you possess, to convince the people that he who has brought forward a charge, unsupported by a single fact, should be able to substantiate the rest. Could I indeed have got over this obvious scruple, and have gone into an equally elaborate vindication on the other charges, I think I could have been equally successful in demonstrating their insufficiency.
You assert, that on Callender's sending the proof sheets of the "Prospect Before Us" to Mr. Jefferson, he remitted the sum of 50 dollars; thus representing Mr. Jefferson to have examined all the proof sheets. You assert, that "when the first part of the second volume appeared" he remitted him a second docket to the same amount, thus making the second remittance a compensation for the second volume. Had you examined into the history of that business with the same zeal with which you seem to have brought forward these allegations, you would have found them without the least foundation. I have at this moment before me an extract from a letter, published by Callender himself, in the Recorder, of July, 1802, in which he explicitly states, that the first sum was remitted by Mr. Jefferson, upon his receiving some specimen sheets only, not of the Prospect itself, but of Lyon's Monthly Magazine; sheets which are without that facility that disgraces certain parts of his composition; and that he had received the second sum when the first part of the second volume was going to press; the time at which Callender was doomed to imprisonment by the penalties of a sedition act; when it was necessary for every friend of his country to mark his abhorrence of an unconstitutional law, by his sympathy for a victim, who had been selected for no other reason, but because he seemed to be without friends, and without protection. It was to this motive, and not to any wish of rewarding him for his first volume, that we may reasonably attribute the remittance of the second sum.
You assert that the remission of Callender's fine, is a sufficient proof of Mr. Jefferson's regard for his politics and his person. Have you forgotten that Mr. Jefferson had taken a most solemn oath to obey the constitution? Have you forgotten that it was his deliberate opinion, that the sedition law, and every thing which was done under it, was a direct violation of that instrument? As to the charge of his usurping beyond his constitutional powers, when he took the money from the hands of the marshal, before it was paid into the hands of the treasurer, you seem to have forgotten that the president had previously consulted the opinion of the attorney-general of the United States, and that opinion is supported by such reasoning as has not yet been shaken by the most ingenious logicians of your party.
You have charged Mr. Jefferson with a persevering in a deeply laid scheme of seduction. Regardless of the false character—regardless of those particularities which should have

prompted you to have shrunk from such a delicate investigation—you have flaunted the name of a lady, in the face of the universe? You have held it up as a mark at which suspicion and malice may shoot their envenomed arrows—indifferent to the injury which you may inflict upon your friend, provided you may hurt the reputation of your foe. Indifferent even to the fidelity of an historian, you have attempted to introduce every fiction which may heighten the apparent guilt of your criminal; whilst you have excluded every fact, which may tend to his justification. You would have us to believe, that you alone have been initiated in the sacred temple of Truth; and you would with the world to pay as much reverence to your decrees, as they formerly did to the oracles of Apollo. Under the pretext of having seen the celebrated correspondence between Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Walker, you deal out your anathemas with no niggardly hand, and you have the vanity to suppose, that the world will at once bow down before your tutored judgment. Like the "port conceited spark of Merrick," you exclaim "I've seen, and sure I ought to know." I should conceive myself, sir, worthy of contempt, were I to enter into any examination of that ex parte evidence, which you have thought proper to dole out. I call upon you therefore to produce the whole of this correspondence; until then I must be permitted to doubt the correctness of your statements. I am strongly impressed with a belief, that you have omitted some of the most material points of that correspondence. You have said that Mr. J. was indebted to the father of Mr. W. for pecuniary aid; when it is well known that the hereditary estate of Mr. J. was amply sufficient to cover all his expenses. You have asserted, that he continued to prosecute the scheme of seduction, even after his own matrimonial connection, when not even the slightest whisper of that kind was ever circulated in his neighborhood. But let us drop this subject.
I shall say nothing, sir, of your charging Mr. Jefferson with having broken his faith in the payment of a sum of money, or of maintaining an improper intercourse with a fable domestic. The first of these charges has long since been replied to; and the last is below the dignity of a man of understanding. If they deserve any comment at all, it is, that they serve to mark your inextinguishable animosity against the man you attack. The tale of domestic intercourse, you have not hesitated to introduce and blazon forth in the very body of your letter—whilst even the scurrilous editor of the Repository was modest enough to throw it into a small type, at the foot of your letter, by way of concealing it in the form of a note. The history of Mr. G. Jones' debt was too apposite to be concealed; and in the height of your zeal, you therefore thought it necessary to step beyond the mere office of a witness, and bring it into the notice of your respectable correspondent in Boston, though it was the only subject on which he had not solicited information from your pen.
One parting observation more, and I hope these strictures will terminate forever! The friends of Mr. Jefferson, sir, may readily excuse you for the obnoxious epithets which you have heaped upon his head. When such a patriot as he is, is hailed as a "dastardly traitor," as a "deliberate villain," whose "diabolical turpitude defies the strongest language of the pen," they may pity the turpitude of the attack on account of its imbecility. They know it is beyond the power of a Lilliputian to hurt a Giant.—But, sir, I can scarcely conceive how you will be able to forgive yourself. From the humble and peaceful labors of retirement, you have raised yourself into distinguished, unenviable notice. You have condescended to occupy the same ground, and to partake of the same honors with Porsupine and Callender. You have exposed yourself to the keenest invectives, and even to the most unfounded accusations. These contemptuous insinuations, sir, may have recommended you to the sympathy of your party, but they can scarcely reconcile you to the vehemence of your own zeal. Take then the advice of an opponent. Suppress the animosity of your party zeal. Be generous enough to admit, that others may be as free from vices as yourself, and have the candor to admit, that while you accuse such men as Mr. Jefferson, of treason or villainy, the strength of your own prejudices, or the misrepresentations of others, may have led you into mistake. At all events, beware of the dangers of celebrity. Since you cannot aspire to the reputation of a legislator or an author, content yourself with the substantial and humble honors of a Virginia farmer.

FRANCE & AUSTRIA.
[Answers of Austria to the French Note to the Diet of Ratisbon, by M. Bacher, published in our last.]
RATISBON, Sept. 13.
THE Austrian Minister, has delivered the following Receipt to the Diet:—
"The Declaration which the French Charge d'Affaires was ordered to communicate to the Diet at Ratisbon, has been laid before his Roman and Austrian imperial Majesty. According to this Declaration the States of the German Empire might be induced to imagine that the armaments & acts of violence of the French Emperor to Italy have given Austria no cause for a counter-arming; that France, not Austria wishes the restoration of a general peace, to attain which restoration, was the object of the intended invasion of England, which Austria now endeavours to interrupt, to prevent the attainment of this object. With this declaration connected the threat of an attack on the German Empire, if Austria does not immediately disarm at the order of the French Emperor."
"Called upon by such a declaration made to the German Diet, his Majesty finds it incumbent upon him to lay before his Co-Estates of the
Empire such documents as may show the true causes and views which have compelled him to arm. They will thence perceive that Austria offered its mediation for the restoration of peace and tranquility, which France refused; that France wishes not peace; for that situation is not peace, but more destructive than war, in which a single Power, formidable by its greatness, alone remains armed, and is prevented by no opposition from occupying with its troops, oppressing, and subjecting one independent peacable State after another."
"To put an end to this state of things is the object of the arming of the Austrian and Russian imperial Courts; and that the former from the menacing armaments of the French in Italy, has the most pressing motives to be careful for its own safety, must be evident to all who have had experience in the affairs of the world; and for further proof it is only necessary to refer to the extracts of the Mouiteur of the 12th of May and 13th of June of the present year. That only this object, and not any self-interested views, have produced the determination of Austria and Russia, appears from their readiness to enter into any negotiation on principles of justice and moderation—from their assurances to the States of the Empire, that in case war should prove unavoidable, they will maintain the legal state of the German Constitution and possessions inviolate; which assurances the Austrian Envoy has orders to repeat and confirm in the most solemn manner."
"The threats of the French Emperor to attack the German Empire, shows how necessary it is to be guarded against such an attack by adequate preparations; experience never to be forgotten, has taught with what consequences the fulfilment of such threats on the part of France is connected; and it is the more necessary to be active in preventing them, as already the most certain indications are apparent, that several Princes of the Frontier Circles of the Empire have been encouraged on the part of the French, to take up arms against their Emperor and Co-Estate, and to this end new secret connections have been entered into, and those existing abused."
"His Majesty trusts with confidence, that if not all, at least the greater part of the States of the Empire will see the dangerous tendency of such proceedings, and the necessity of warding off from Germany, by unanimity, fidelity, and courage, the fate of Italy, and other neighbouring countries of France, which have been rendered either half or entirely dependent upon her—and that they will consequently approve and promote those measures without which the salutary views of Austria and Russia cannot be carried into effect; for it is most evident that the possibility of maintaining a real peace, depends on being prepared with those effectual means, which in case it should be impossible to obtain the object wished, can alone furnish the last hope of deliverance and succour."
"LOUIS COUNT COBENTZEL."
[A Paris paper of the 28th Sept. contains a very lengthy Exposition of the reciprocal conduct of France and Austria, from the peace of Luneville, read by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the Senate of the 22d of Sept. The subsequent remarks close this exposition.]
"After such an act on the part of the court of Vienna, the Emperor could have nothing more to ask of it. It became evident, that even that Congress proceeded with such an imperious tone, and with views so visibly hostile to France, was only a new snare laid for her faith: that Austria irrevocably decided upon war, would not return to pacific ideas, and that she was even no longer free to return to them. The exchange of all places evidently proved that a part of the sums granted to the English ministry, to serve their ends upon the Continent, were arrived at its destination, and the power which had just trafficked with her alliance, could no longer spare the blood of her subjects, the price of which she had just received."
"All further explanation with the Court of Vienna, being thus become impossible; the way of arms is henceforward the only one compatible with honor."
"Let England applaud herself upon having at length found allies; let her rejoice that blood is about to flow upon the Continent, let her flatter herself that her own will be spared; let her hope to find her safety in the discord of other states—her joy will be of short duration, her hopes will be vain, and the day is not far distant when the rights of nations will be at length avenged."
"The Emperor, obliged to repel an unjust aggression, which he has in vain endeavoured to prevent, has been constrained to suspend the execution of his first designs. He has withdrawn from the shores of the Ocean those bands so often victorious, and he marches at their head. He will not lay down his arms before he has obtained full and entire satisfaction; and complete security both for his own states, and those of his allies."
THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH IN THE SENATE.
SENATORS—In the present circumstances of Europe, I feel the necessity of appearing in the midst of you, and of making known to you my sentiments.
"I am about to quit my capitol, to put myself at the head of my army, to carry a speedy succour to my allies, and to defend the dearest interests of my people."
"The wishes of the eternal enemies of the continent are accomplished: War has begun in the heart of Germany. Austria and Russia have united with England; and our generation is drawn anew into all the calamities of war. A few days ago, I still hoped that peace would not be disturbed; menaces and outrages found me impassible: but the Austrian army has crossed the Inn. Munich is invaded—the Elector of Bavaria is driven out of his capitol; all my hopes are vanished."
"It is at this instant, that the wickedness of the enemies of the continent has unveiled itself. They were yet apprehensive of the manifestation of my profound love of peace: they were apprehensive, lest Austria, at the sight of the abyss which they had dug under her footsteps, should return to sentiments of justice and moderation; they have hurried her into war. I am grieved at the blood that it will cost Europe; but the French name will obtain a new lustre from it."
"Senators, when at your desire, at the voice of the whole French people, I set the Imperial crown upon my head, I received from you, from every citizen, the engagement to maintain it pure and unspotted. My people have given me, in every circumstance, proofs of their confidence and their love. They will fly under the colors of the Emperor, and of his army, which in a few days will have passed the frontiers."
"Magistrates, Soldiers, and Citizens, all with to maintain the country free from the influence of England, who, if she prevailed, would grant us only a peace, surrounded with ignominy and shame, and the principal conditions of which would be the burning of our fleets, the filling up our ports, and the annihilation of our industry."
"All the promises I have made to the French people, I have kept. The French people, in their turn, have taken no engagement with me that they have not surpassed. In this circumstance, so important for their glory and mine, they will continue to merit that name of Great People, with which I saluted them in the midst of the fields of battle."
"Frenchmen, your Emperor will do his duty, my soldiers will do theirs, you will do yours."
PARIS, Sept. 21. The official journal of this day announces, that the Emperor of Germany, without any previous negotiation or explanation, and without a declaration of war, has invaded Bavaria. The Elector has retired to Wurtzburg, where the whole of the Bavarian army is assembled."
Sept. 24.—Cardinal Fesch, our minister plenipotentiary at Rome, has presented to the Holy Father, in the name of his Imperial and royal majesty, eight magnificent pieces of tapestry, representing scenes from the New Testament, two superb carpets of exquisite workmanship, two chandeliers of the greatest beauty, and a service of plate for the table.
Sept. 26.—Marshal Massena, general in chief of the army of Italy, arrived on the 10th Fructidor, at the head quarters of Villa France; the day following, he visited the fortifications of Mantua, and in the evening department for Vallegio, where he will establish his head-quarters.
General Jourdon passed lately through Lyons, without stopping, on his way from Italy to Paris.
H. M. the Emperor and King set off for the army on Tuesday last. The Empress set off with the Emperor, and is to be followed by M. Talleyrand, the minister for foreign affairs.
IMPERIAL DECREE.
Sept. 27.—St. Cloud, 2d Complementary day, year 13. We, Napoleon, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, have decreed, and do decree what follows:

By the Emperor, (Signed) NAPOLEON. The Secretary of State—signed H. B. Maret.
As Imperial decree orders, that there shall be formed a corps of Horse Velites, of 800 men, to be composed of conscripts for the three last years, at the rate of six for each Department, to be taken from among those who shall offer themselves voluntarily; or in default of such, to be designated by the Prefect. The Velites must be of sound constitutions, and must have of their own, or from their relations; a secure revenue of 300 francs a year.
GERMANY.
HAMBURG, Sept. 12.—They write from Copenhagen, under date of the 7th, "The Russians which are expected here, have not yet arrived; by which it is presumed it has taken another direction."
His Majesty the King of Prussia is now causing to be built on the Spree, a new store, which will be 300 feet in length, 100 in breadth, and six stories high. It will contain a quantity of grain sufficient to provide for the whole capital, during three years.
According to the latest accounts from Russia, the merchant vessels which had been freighted at Riga, by order of the government, for the transportation of troops, have been dismissed, on account of its being almost impossible, in the present season, to attempt any grand expedition, by sending these vessels through the Baltic.
STUTTGARD, Sept. 15.—With the intelligence of the march of the Russian troops, we have received the following news, in letters from Lumberg, in Galicia, dated the 25th of August.
"Generals Strauch and Whyrotter have been successively sent here by the Court of Vienna to direct the march of the Russians. Their army is divided into two bodies, one of which takes its route through our city, by eastern Galicia, and the other by the northern, towards Lubin and Cracovia; the last body has not yet entered Galicia. The first arrived on the 20th of August, at Brody; it marches in six columns. It is confirmed, that a third body of Russian troops are actually concentrated at Wilma, in Lithuania, & is to be followed by several others. The court of Berlin having refused a passage through its states, the corps of the army of Wilma will continue its route through Galicia."
Sept. 16.—The Austrians have already taken possession of a great part of Bavaria. All the country situated between the Inn and the Iser is overrun with their troops. Gen. Klenau, who commands the corps of the army which passed the Inn on the 8th September, is about to transfer his head-quarters to Munich. The principal cities near the Danube, or on the borders of the river, between Straubing, Passau, Landshut, Vilsdorf, and other places, have already an Austrian garrison.
RUSSIA.
FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, 28th Aug.—From the 30th July to the 12th August, 49 vessels, of different nations, arrived at the port of Cronstadt, laden chiefly with foreign merchandise. In the same time 142 vessels cleared out from that port, laden with territorial productions, or articles manufactured in Russia. Of these 81 were English, and 12 Americans.
PETERSBURG, Aug. 28.—The troops of our garrison, and the horse and foot guards, making in the whole about 10,000 men, marched from this city on the 23d instant. There remains here three battalions of foot guards for the service of the winter palace, and other public edifices.
We are assured that the Emperor will depart for Wilma about the 26th Sept.
Thirty thousand men embarked here for Revel, this day, in consequence of the treaty entered into with Sweden. This body, under the order of lieutenant-general Tolstoi, is destined, they say, for Swedish Pomerania; but well informed Politicians think that the king of Prussia will never consent to it.
PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Sept. 10.—By virtue of an order issuing from his Majesty, 100,000 men have been directed to hold themselves in readiness to march.
A grand council of state was held here the day before yesterday, at which all the ministers, and the principal generals attended. For several days back couriers have been dispatched to St. Petersburg and Vienna.
The minister of state, and of the cabinet, Count de Haugwitz, is arrived in this capital. It is believed he will be sent to Paris.
A German journal, of high repute, affirms, that in case of war, four great electoral courts have determined to put all their forces, and all their resources at the disposal of France and Prussia.
[Translated from late French papers, received at Norfolk.]
VERONA, Sept. 3. His excellency Marshal Massena, commander in chief of the army of Italy, has established his head-quarters at Vallegio. He reviews the different corps which successively arrive. On the 10th, the following proclamation was put under the order of the army.
"Soldiers of the army of Italy—His Majesty the Emperor and King has appointed me your Commander in Chief. It is grateful to me to see again my ancient companions in arms, and to find in them the sentiments which I knew them to possess, attachment to discipline, and devotion to their duty: I shall always speak to you the language of these sentiments, and it is a pleasure to me to think that they will know how to answer it, if political circumstances oblige his Majesty the Emperor and King to give the signal of battle, in spite of the desire he constantly manifested to maintain peace. Soldiers! you will remember that you are upon a field of battle, illustrated by his victories, and that at every step we shall find traits of his magnanimity, and of his genius."
"I replace at your head a General distinguished by his services; he is called to another destination, whither no doubt your wishes will accompany him; upon whatever theatre his Majesty may place us, Soldiers, let us justify his choice, and let us ever have

but one thought, our Country and Emperor.
"The Marshal of the Empire, commander in Chief.
(Signed) MASSENA.
The two banks of the Adige are now occupied by considerable forces: The fortifications of Mantua, lately inspected by the Marshal, have been found in such a state as to be looked upon impregnable.
LEMBERG, Sept. 14.—To the different generals, we have announced as having commands in the two Russian armies, under M. D'Abrahan, are added, the Count de Buxhouden governor of Riga, and the generals of infantry Michelson and Guleints, and the Count de Tolstoy, the military governor of St. Petersburg.
NEWPORT, Thursday, Dec. 5, 1805.
Theatrical Character of Mrs. Darley.
The Poetry which we copied into our last paper from the Providence Gazette, descriptive of the theatrical character of Mrs. Darley, deserves the notice of every friend to Literature. It is a piece of composition of uncommon merit, and ought not to be passed by in silence. It discovers a brilliancy of imagination but seldom surpassed; and exhibits a correctness of taste, fulness of conception, and justness of arrangement, which many eminent Poets never possessed.
How happy must the subject of that portrait be, in having found a friend in the fictitious "ARABELLA!" And how pleased every friend of genius and virtue, at seeing modest merit thus forcibly recommended to the notice of the public. For every Darley does not find an Arabella, to examine and publish her merits.
The ninth Congress, convened at Washington on Monday last.
Beside the Members of the Government, there are at Washington, the new Tunisian Minister, several Deputations from the Indian tribes; Mr. Burr, Chancellor Livingston, General Dayton, Governor Hull, and several other distinguished political characters.
On Monday, the 17th ult. arrived in this City our gallant countryman, GEN. EATON, in good health. His achievements merit and no doubt will receive, the respectful attention of his fellow-citizens in every part of the Union. The glorious and joyful events, in which he has so largely participated, entitle him to the gratitude of every man, who feel an interest in the honor of his country, and who properly appreciates the liberation of three hundred captive citizens.
Nat. Intelligencer.
Whilst General EATON was at Gibraltar he had the curiosity to review the Spanish encampment in the neighborhood, with an excellent spy glass. They appeared to him more like flying camps than regular encampments. They had no heavy artillery, and it seemed to be a romantic conjecture, that they had any design of attacking Gibraltar.
While he remained there, Lord Nelson was said to have arrived before Cadiz, to reinforce the blockading squadron under Collingwood and Calder.
A squadron was fitting out at Malta, supposed by some to be destined to Egypt, and by others to Sicily. It was his own opinion, that the next intelligence which should arrive from that quarter of the Mediterranean, would announce the invasion of Sicily.
A squadron of 160 British transports conveying 15 men of war, was reported to have left Madeira about the 6th or 8th Oct. They had taken an easterly course. Their destination completely unknown. Some suppose they were bound to the W. Indies, and others to the Cape of Good Hope.
Enquirer.
WASHINGTON-CITY, Nov. 18.
A very advantageous TREATY has been made, we understand, at this place, with the chiefs of the Creek Nation; by which a large cession of land is made to the United States, and the right given to open a direct road to New Orleans through the territory of the Creeks. The United States on their part, contract to pay the annual sum of 12,000 dollars, for eight years, and the annual sum of 11,000 dollars, for ten years thence ensuing.
It is true, we understand, that there is on board the Congress now in the Potomac, an ambassador from the Bey of Tunis to the United States. His name is SIDI SULIMAN MALA MANNI, and he is attended by a numerous suit.
Sidi Hamet, the exiled Bashaw of Tripoli, declines, it is said, coming to the United States.
A private letter from Paris, dated 15th Sept. says—"The Minister has recommended drawing bills to satisfy the claims of the American merchants on this government."
The French squadron, under command of Jerome Bonaparte, has effected the liberation from Algerine captivity of 231 slaves, principally natives of Laguire, some of whom had been upwards of twenty years in the power of the Regency, and who are claimed as French subjects, by virtue of the union between France and the Laguirean Republic.
A British expedition, of 260 sail, touched at Madeira the 14th Sept. bound southward. The Cape of Good Hope, Isle of France, and India, are said, by various guesses, to be the object of this expedition.
A letter from a gentleman at Charleston, dated Nov. 6. 1805, says—"You will have heard of the capture of the British ship Ether, off our bar, a few days ago by a French privateer schooner. I heard the cannonading very plain. From all accounts the Britons fought very bravely; but were inhumanly butchered after capture. The Captain was cut in pieces in his cabin by seven Frenchmen, with one Rosa an American, at their head."
The Hon. Robert R. Livingston, late minister of the United States at the French court, arrived in Washington on Monday last, and has taken lodgings at the Indian King Tavern.
We have just now been informed, that orders have been given by government for a detachment of marines to be in readiness to proceed to New Orleans without delay. And that the New Orleans station will be guarded by a number of gun-boats.
The frigates lately arrived in Hampton Roads from the Mediterranean will not we hear, come to Washington as was expected—but are ordered to New York.
OFFICIAL.
British Consul General's Office, New-York, 11th November, 1805.
For the information of the merchants residing in the Eastern States of America, the following extract from the minutes of His Britannic Majesty's most Honorable Privy Council, bearing date the 3d of August, 1805, is published. TH: MARCLAY.
Extract of Council Minute, of the 3d of August, 1805.
"Their Lordships returned the consideration of the Petition of Messrs. Tunno & Longham, on the subject of the trade carried on in neutral ships importing into Great Britain, under the act of the 44th of his Majesty, Cap 80, the produce of Countries not under the dominion of His Majesty on the continent of America and the West Indies, and were attended by the Chairman of the Committee of American merchants and others, who were heard."
Their Lordships having come to a resolution to allow the trade with the settlements and islands belonging to the enemy, in America and the West-Indies, to be carried on through the medium of the British free Ports in the West Indies, and not otherwise, except with regard to the trade to and from the River de la Plata, and on the western part of South America, do not think it generally to depart from that system; but as the ships mentioned by the petitioners, and some others, may probably have been laden for Great Britain under an impression that the act of the 44th of his present Majesty would have been acted upon, as a similar law was in the late war, and as others may be so laden before the parties can have notice of the resolution above referred to, their Lordships are of opinion, that the four ships in question, and such others so laden as may be now on their passage, or may clear out from the Havanna, &c. prior to the 1st day of November next, should be protected from molestation by British cruisers and from condemnation in the Courts of Admiralty, and are pleased therefore to order that his Majesty's Advocate General, do prepare the draught of instructions to the Courts of Admiralty, and to the Commanders of his Majesty's ships of war and privateers, requiring them not to molest or detain any such vessels which shall have been cleared out prior to the 1st of November next; and in case any vessels under those circumstances shall have been seized and brought before any Court of Admiralty, the same are to be forthwith liberated upon proof being established that they were cleared out from those countries prior to the said first day of November next."
To the Members of the Philadelphia Medical Society throughout the United States. (CIRCULAR.)
SIR, Pursuant to a resolution of the Philadelphia Medical Society, adopted on the 16th Nov. 1805, the undersigned were elected a Committee to solicit and receive donations from their fellow members, in order to enable the Society to obtain a permanent situation for their future meetings. The Committee have the honor to return the thanks of the Society to those gentlemen who have already contributed, and continue to receive such donations as you may be pleased to forward.

* The Printers of newspapers in the different States of the Union, who are disposed well to Science, are requested to give publicity to the above Letter.
An extract of a letter from Northampton, dated Nov. 12, 1805.
"A most barbarous murder was committed on Saturday the 9th inst. on one Marcus Lyon, of Woodstock, as he was journeying through Wilbraham in the county of Hampshire. The body was thrown into Chicabee river, which was near the road, and stones were thrown upon it. The coroner's inquest find that he was shot with a pistol ball, and his skull was beaten and broken to pieces by a pistol and clubs. The murderers are supposed to be two transient persons, who have proceeded into Connecticut. I am informed that a number of persons have gone in pursuit of them."
Inland Navigation.—The subsequent account will show the importance and utility of the Middlesex Canal, in a stronger light than any observations we could make. This immense quantity of produce would not have found its way to this market, if it had not been for the early communication thus afforded.
"A raft of 164 hogheads and 600 barrels was formed at the head of Merimac river, by Mr. Eben'r Eastman, of Salisbury, (N. H.) and conducted from thence down the river, through slips and over falls, to the head of Middlesex Canal; where 500 barrels were taken into a boat and conveyed through the Canal to Charlestown—and the remainder, with the 164 hogheads, continued in a raft to West-Boston, where it was safely delivered, to the order of Messrs. Cotting & Lowell." This enterprising inland voyage of 150 miles, is worthy of imitation.
COMMUNICATION.
The editor of the Centinel, it seems, acknowledges, having received a number of political Essays against Mr. Jefferson and the present administration, from his old correspondent, "Hume"; but seems rather inclined to think it premature, to give them publicity at present; and recommends to "Hume" to reserve his fire until the eve of the next presidential election. We should have thought, that the ill success of this writer, and the direct contrary effect which his long and laboured productions, against Mr. Jefferson, had on the minds of the citizens of the United States in general, and of this State in particular, at the last Presidential election, would have sickened him from any further attempts to write down the present administration. Notwithstanding all the "weighty" and "unanswerable" objections, which he raised against the expediency of again placing Mr. Jefferson at the head of the nation, only fourteen, out of one hundred and seventy-six, Electors, could be chosen, who accorded with him in sentiment, and even the electors of Massachusetts! don't stare "HUME"!! yes! the Electors of Massachusetts! "the head quarters of good principles," were unanimous for Mr. Jefferson. You had better not, Major, discourage "HUME"; but let him commence now, and continue, if he pleases, for three years to come, his useful labors in the cause of federalism, and opposition to the freest and best administered government in the world. For our part we hope he will immediately commence his lucubrations; for such a writer as "HUME" can never make a single convert to federalism—they have a tendency rather to keep down, than to raise, its sinking cause.—Chronicle.

POETRY.
FROM AINSI VA LE MONDE. A POEM, BY LAURA MARIA. FREEDOM.
Thro' all the scenes of nature's varying plan, Celestial Freedom warms the breast of man; Led by her darling hand, what power can bind The boundless efforts of the lab'ring mind.
What is the charm that bids mankind dis- dain The tyrant's mandate and the oppressor's chain; What bids exulting liberty impart Ecstatic raptures to the human heart?
Fram the Providence Phoenix.
MOSES and David were such swinging fighters, They'd kill a friend as quick as we—musketeers; And thought no more of slaying fellow men Than we in amputating off a hen.
A VALUABLE HORSE.
A gentleman having a horse that started and broke his wife's neck, a neighbouring squire told him he wished to purchase it for his wife to ride upon.
EXTRACT,
From Mrs. Pilkington's Mirror for Young Ladies.
A contented mind is a continual feast; and the pleasure of the banquet is greatly augmented by knowing that each man may become his own entertainer.
A contented temper is one of the greatest blessings that can be enjoyed, and one of the most material requisites for the discharge of social duties.
If I was desired to give an allegorical description of Contentment, I should term it the offspring of Piety, the sister of Resignation, and the parent of Cheerfulness!
Mr. Addison in one of his excellent discourses, observes, that there are but two things which ought to deprive us of cheerfulness of heart.
a sense of guilt; for no man can be easy or tranquil whose conscience convicts him of acts of impiety, or deeds of desperation.
