Gen. ARMSTRONG.
For a long time the opposition papers have teemed with the grossest accusations against the American minister at the court of France—charging him with the most flagrant neglect of duty, totally refusing his interference in behalf of American vessels captured and carried into France by French privateers, or to give aid to masters of vessels in the most destitute circumstances. It has long been notorious that many American vessels have been engaged in an illegal trade between England and France and other ports under cover of neutrality; and there is every circumstantial evidence to create a belief that most of the captures and detentions, reflecting which we have heard such a violent and incessant clamor, are in consequence of this illicit traffic. Finding their avaricious hopes blasted by the vigilance of French custom house officers, the whole indignation of the sufferers is directed against Gen. Armstrong—Exaggerated, and often false, representations are transmitted to the United States, which find a ready circulation in papers of a certain description, with additional exaggerations. By the Wasp sloop of war, recently arrived from France, documents have been received which throw some light on this subject, and will tend to silence the clamor, or render harmless the accusations of men whose purposes are equally answered, whether odium attach to General Armstrong, the American government, or France. We believe that most of these allegations will be found to proceed from men in fact the most worthless part of community —who are in the habitual violation of known laws—to divert public attention from their acts of contravention to those who punish their transgression, or who refuse to participate their guilt, by protecting them from the consequence.
N. H. Gazette.
From the AURORA.
PARIS 18th SEPT. 1809.
SIR—On looking over the files of some American journals, (brought by the Wasp sloop of war) I find that several charges have been publicly made and circulated against the minister of the United States (gen. Armstrong,) by certain seafaring men, which being to my knowledge utterly destitute of truth, require from me some degree of notice.
1st. A person of the name of Hopkins is made to assert that gen. Armstrong refused to give him a passport, unless he (Hopkins) should previously pay therefor, ten or twelve francs, and that the general gave order to this effect to his secretary in the presence of Hopkins. On this subject I offer the following deposition, viz.:
Having been secretary to gen. Armstrong at the time Hopkins was in Paris, and having been specially charged by him with the giving of passports, I do solemnly swear, on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, that no such order in relation to Hopkins, or any other person, ever was given to me by the said minister; and further, that the rule prescribed by him and observed by me in all cases was to give passports and other official acts gratis.
DAVID BAILLE WARDEN.
Sworn and subscribed before me, consul of the United States for the district of Antwerp, this 8th day of Sept. 1809.
J. RIDGWAY.
The aforesaid Hopkins is also made to declare (on the authority of capt. William Nichols) that, when he (Nichols) called on the minister to inform him that captain Waterman, whose ship had been burnt at sea, was near Paris and on his way to Arras prison, that the general refused to interfere for, or in any way to assist, the said Waterman.
Had Mr. Nichols made this assertion, there would be no difficulty in showing it to be a most wicked & impudent falsehood (as will be seen hereafter) but the original letter from Nichols written to a friend at Paris, and which I send herewith, will prove, that this name has been employed on this occasion in a way equally remote from his wishes and from the truth.
(EXTRACT)
AMSTERDAM, JULY, 5.
DEAR SIR—Yours of the 8th and 29th of June, have come to hand. I was very much surprised that Hopkins should take the liberty of making use of my name. I don't remember of having any conversation with Hopkins concerning gen. Armstrong. If I had, I am confident I said nothing disrespectful of his excellency. There is no American that has taken part in favor of the general more than I have. Hopkins I knew protested against gen. Armstrong before he left Paris—Palmer I do not know.

2d. John Wyle, mate of the Two Brothers , in a letter addressed to Messrs Hathaway and Ruffel, merchants of New-York, and dated the 18th April, 1809, says, that he and others having been made prisoners at Charante, were marched to Arras; and that they frequently applied to gen. Armstrong for relief, but that he would not even answer their letters.
3d. Isaac Doolittle, mate of the ship Neptune , of Portland, Massachusetts, and who like Wyle, had been arrested at Charante, and marched to Arras, in a letter published by Coleman, in his Evening Post of August the 9th, complains in nearly the same style with Wyle, but admits that gen. Armstrong did answer his first letter.
These papers, if genuine, exhibit the very worst side of human nature—falsehood and hypocrisy;—and in support of this opinion, I send you the letters enclosed and marked, No. 1, 2, and 3. No. 1, is the joint letter of Doolittle, Wyle, Taubman and Copping. No. 2, is the separate letter of Wyle and No. 3 is the private letter of Doolittle to his father and mother—
which, after using, you will be good enough to forward to New Haven.
(No. 1.)
ARRAS, SEPT. 10.
General Armstrong—
SIR—We received your esteemed favor and offer sincere thanks for your kind interposition in our behalf, which we cannot but hope will have the desired effect. The departure of the last detachment from this depot is fortunately postponed until further orders, which we hope will be sufficient length of time for your excellency's application to meet a decision.
Mr. Hamilton Smith, late mate of the American ship Nancy , who was brought here as a prisoner on the evening of the 9th ult. finding nothing but a long march and hunger before his eyes, has entered for a privateer and left this depot yesterday, whether he has been too hasty or not your excellency will be the best judge.
According to your excellency's offer, we send the enclosed to be forwarded to America, begging you will do us the honor to believe that we feel sentiments of thankfulness which we cannot express.
(Signed) ISAAC DOOLITTLE, JOHN WYLE, JOHN TAUBMAN, THOMAS COPPING.
SAME DATE.
SIR—I return you my sincere thanks for the kind attention you have paid to me and the rest of my countrymen in our great extremity—I being fully convinced that your excellency was well disposed to do what lay in your power to obtain my liberty when opportunity offered; I have communicated all this to my friends, by letters under care of Mr. and Mrs. Clubb, who left here for the United States. They informed me that they would deliver the letters themselves, which I have no doubt but they will, therefore I think a repetition of the same grievances would be wearisome to them—Therefore, I defer writing, hoping through your excellency's solicitations to have a personal interview with them, which will produce the long wished for moment, that is, a fight of my friends and country, where slavery and oppression do not exist, after two years absence, the first time was spent embargoed in Holland the latter part a captive in France.
(Signed) JOHN WYLE.
No III. ARRAS, Sept. 13. 1809. DEAR PARENTS—His excellency gen. Armstrong, who has kindly offered to forward this has applied for our release, which I doubt not would have been granted long before this, had it not been for the convulsed state of Holland, and indeed all Europe, for a few months past; but I hope this political squall will soon blow over, and we be blest with a moderate breeze to drive us out of this country. His excellency has also offered to become responsible to the minister at war for our good conduct, in order to obtain for us privileges, which we cannot otherwise enjoy, and should we be base enough to abuse the confidence placed in us I hope we may be branded with a name more infamous than Arnold be punished with a confinement more rigorous than baron Trenck, and be no longer considered as Americans.
(Signed) ISAAC DOOLITTLE.
Will Mr. Coleman say after reading these letters, that general Armstrong has treated these men with harshness, contempt, or inhumanity? The fact is just the reverse. To them in particular, he has rendered all the service in his power—having done every thing for them, but give them public money; and having even become responsible for them to the French Government. And why, Mr. Coleman may ask, refuse to give them public money also? For the best reason in the world—because the laws of his country did not permit him to do so. If these men came under the legal description of DISTRESSED SEAMEN, their wants were to be supplied by some consular agent; if they did not, the minister could not pay money appropriated to an object other and different from that prescribed by law; and that these men did not come under this description, is as evident as noonday. This leads me to show, what both these letter writers have omitted in the history of their wrongs, viz that they were confined not as prisoners of war, but as PERSONS CONVICTED OF BEING ENGAGED IN AN ILLICIT TRADE. To put this matter beyond the reach of Coleman (who is falsehood and calumny personified) I offer the following extracts, from the judicial proceedings of the council of prizes:
EXTRACTS
The American ship Two Brothers , seized at Charante the 14th October, 1808, on the denunciation of two of the crew, who declared that she had come from Yarmouth in England. Five others of the sailors afterwards confirmed this declaration.
Sentence of the council 21st June 1809:—That whereas, the capt. [Gardner, and second captain, or mate, J. Wyle, have made a false declaration on entry at the custom house. The said captain and mate, &c. are sentenced to pay to the state, the fine of 7000 francs and to be imprisoned till this fine is paid.
Sentence of the council:—That the captain, mate, and crew having made a false declaration as aforesaid be condemned to pay to the state a fine of 12,000 francs, and remain in prison till the fine is paid.
Conformable to the original minute. DAVID BAILLE WARDEN. Consul and agent of prize causes. PARIS 10th Sept. 1809.
I now ask any reasonable and honest man, whether gen. Armstrong would have been justified in putting his hand into the public coffers and taking therefrom, to pay fines for, or to give subsistence to 30 or 40 men convicted in a court of law in the fullest manner, of having made false declarations on entry at a national custom house? I am aware that according to the morality of some men, cut-
This decision was favorable.
tom house oaths and declarations of all kinds, go for nothing—but I write not to satisfy such men; my appeal is made to men both honest and reasonable, and I am sure that in despite of party all such will approve the general's conduct.
4th. The only remaining misrepresentation that I have seen is that of Laban Folger late captain of the Acorn , published in the Evening Post of July 5th, 1809.
Before I close this paper, I shall submit the substance of a legal document which will show the degree of credit to which capt. Folger is entitled—and in the mean time will state briefly as I can, the business in which Folger was engaged, the occasion which brought him to Paris, and the conversation which really passed between him and general Armstrong.
1st. As to his business, this was the honorable employment of running between the two shores of the B. Channel; a smuggler on the one side and a trader under British licence on the other. For the truth of this representation, I appeal to Mr. S. Williams, merchant of London, and formerly American consul there. This gentleman knows the fact, and has too much honor to deny it.
2d. Folger having returned to France in the spring of 1808, hired himself and vessel to carry the Spanish consul at the port of St. Maloes to the Havanna with his family, (his uncle being the governor or intendant of that island) Getting however a cargo of wheat, and wishing to prosecute his old trade he refused to fulfil his contract with the Spaniard. After much private altercation at St. Maloes, they agreed to come to Paris and have their controversies settled by the American minister. General Armstrong not conceiving that he had any thing to do with the business, dismissed them and it, with an advice, that, as they both appeared to have secrets, they had better settle the dispute amicably and by themselves. This was the amount of the first conversation. The Sunday following, these men came a second time to the general's hotel and being told by the porter, that he was walking with his family in the garden of the Luxembourg, they followed him thither, and finding him on one of the walks, began an altercation in a language and tone which soon attracted a crowd about them. This was not much to the general's taste, and to put an end to the business and to do what he thought justice at the same time, he observed to Folger, that the game he was playing, to say the least of it, was very hazardous. "What" said he, "would be your situation were this man to inform against you? Besides, do you make no account of your contract and of the injury you may do him by defeating or deranging his voyage. My advice to you, therefore, is, to fulfil your engagements; to be an honest man." Folger answered, that as to his contract; he did not deny it—but that he could not fulfil it; that his British licence made him good prize if he passed the channel's mouth to the westward, and that if he went beyond it, he certainly would be captured; and as to his informing against me, he said, "I hope if he does, that I have a minister here who will soon get me out of their clutches;" "in this you are wrong," the general replied, "I never will interfere for a scoundrel, who violates at once public laws and private engagements." I need not add, that the conversation ended here. Mr. Folger immediately left the general, and as appears from his own narrative, repaired to Mr. Skipwith's, where he found Aaron Vail, and T. C. Barnet, who, after giving him one article of their creed, and a piece of good advice with it, proceeded to illustrate both, by the following story, viz. That "an American ship commanded by—Waterman, having been burnt at sea, the captain and crew passed near Paris, on their way to Verdun or Arras, and that general Armstrong had refused to afford them the least assistance." Now, whether it be true or false, that Messrs. Vail and Barnet told captain Folger this falsehood, it is necessary that it be refuted; and for this purpose I offer to you the deposition of Mr. Deville, a clerk in general Armstrong's office, who was sent by him to see captain Waterman, and to give him 300 livres (tournois) or 12 louis and a half, which captain Waterman received, as he ought, with many expressions of gratitude.
DEPOSITION.
I do swear on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, that some time in the summer of the year 1808, gen. Armstrong being informed that capt. Waterman, whose ship had been burnt at sea, was at St. Denis on his way to Arras, and in want of money to render his journey comfortable, sent me thither with the sum of 300 livres (tournois) and directions to pay the same to capt. Waterman; that I accordingly did go to the prison of St. Denis, and found capt. Waterman and paid to him the aforesaid money, taking from him a receipt for the same; and further, that the said Waterman expressed much gratitude to general Armstrong for the reasonable and humane supply.
SWORE and subscribed before me. DAVID BAILLE WARDEN, Cousin &c. &c.
After having shown how far Mr. Folger has departed from the truth in that part of his narrative which relates to gen. Armstrong, it is almost unnecessary to say any thing of the other parts of it, were it not to prevent some honest people of the United States from putting any confidence in this man's declarations hereafter, and for this purpose I send an authenticated copy of the facts as they appeared in evidence before the council of prizes, to be used by you as you think proper, and from which I make the following extract.
Laban Folger made a voyage to Petersburg in the service of a French merchant at Cherbourg, of the name of Liais, and so much to his satisfaction, that he engaged him in another enterprise to the north. This was to carry to Bergen (in Norway) a cargo of provisions, and exchange them against one of planks, iron, &c. Folger failed accordingly on the 3d of December, 1807, from the port of Cherbourg, but instead of going to Bergen, in Norway, agreeably to his charter party, he went into the English island of Guernsey, where he sold his cargo. On the 15th of March, 1808, Folger entered the port of St. Maloes, and declared at the custom-house that he had gone to Bergen in Norway, in December, 1807, with a cargo of leather, wine, &c. that he had made his voyage in six days, and that his return voyage had been performed in the same time, and from the same place, &c. &c.—Nothing appearing irregular about the Acorn, she was permitted to load again. While Folger was thus deceiving the custom house, he had a similar game to play with his employer, Mr. Liais. The account he gave of himself to Liais, was, that his crew had risen upon him in the channel, and had forced him out of his intended voyage, but that after many shifts, &c. he had placed Liais' interests in the hands of Mr. Samuel Williams of London, and would draw bills on him for the amount. He accordingly drew bills on Williams, but the bills being returned protested, and Liais being determined to push him for the amount, Mr. Folger took flight, not from the French custom house, nor from the French police, as he has falsely asserted, but from his lawful and acknowledged creditor.
It was only now that a suspicion of the truth of Folger's declaration on entry at the custom house, in March, 1808, commenced. The prefect of the department, becoming the correspondent of Mr. Liais, got from him the above mentioned facts. The ship was now seized, and the papers, &c. sent to the council of prizes. Among these was a letter from Samuel Williams, ci-devant consul of the U. States at London, dated from Boston, the 14th May, 1808, and addressed to Mr. Laban Folger, which, as the false date was established, became proof, with other papers, that the former cargo of the Acorn was sold at Guernsey. The council therefore proceeded to judgment, and sentenced Laban Folger to a fine of 8500 francs for a false declaration, and the four sailors who had joined him in making this declaration, to a fine of 500 francs each.
This judgment was given on the 23d August, 1809.
I close this detail, by offering to you the assurance of my respect.

From the Boston Patriot.
It is with the most severe regret that we see errors in men professing the same principles, and of the same party with ourselves; especially so, when those errors effect the true interests of the country to which we mutually belong. In such a situation, however, have many of the Federal party been placed by using the infamous apology for Mr. Jackson's insult to our government, which has appeared in the Baltimore Federal Republican and even copied into the Boston Gazette of Monday last. How any one who terms himself an AMERICAN, can read that piece without feelings the most indignant, is to me inconceivable. The writer seems to think it of no consequence that a foreign minister should insinuate that our secretary of state, or what is the same in amount, that our president, has asserted a falsehood;—because he did not, in the vulgar language of a fifth-woman, call our whole cabinet, a pack of liars—it is of no importance that he should repeatedly insinuate that Robert Smith (although the American secretary of state) had asserted and reasserted a falsehood. Very different is the language of the Philadelphia Gazette, copied directly under the above;—here is the language every American ought to hold—to support our government in every measure to which they are
prompted by a sense of right, and of the nation's dignity, is our duty; and every one who refuses honest praise, and ready approbation, where it is so well due, is undeserving the esteem of honest men of any party.
A FEDERALIST.
Fudge—or another bug bear.
We are now gravely told that a twig of the Imperial stock is stuck down in the United States, which will become a great tree, and overshadow the whole land. Its generation is universally attributed to French influence—but it is questionable whether our soil is genial to its naturalization.
The busy tongue of Rumor, ever ready to Give to airy nothing a local habitation and a name, furnishes us the following, via Philadelphia:—
From Democratic Press of Nov. 7.
The Bonaparte Family are extending their limbs and branches over the whole civilized world. A scion is now acknowledged to be shooting up in the United States. We suspect our habits manners and institutions will be found unfriendly to its growth in that luxurious style which the head of the family thinks necessary in all its members. It is well remembered that a few years since Jerome Bonaparte the younger brother of the Emperor of France, driven by enemies and stress of weather, took shelter in the United States. During his residence at Baltimore, he courted and married Miss Patterson, the daughter of a respectable citizen of the United States—Some months after their marriage Jerome & his wife failed for Europe. Jerome renounced his lovely bride, wedded a princess and is now a king. Mrs. Bonaparte was not allowed to land on the continent of Europe. She went to England and was there delivered of a son, with whom she shortly after embarked and safely arrived in the United States.
We have for some days had various rumors afloat, as to certain arrangements made in Europe respecting Mrs. Bonaparte and her son. The following is the substance of what is circulating—That Mrs. Bonaparte is to have a pension of sixty thousand dollars per annum and to be a Dutchess—That her son is created Prince of the French Empire and a princely allowance is made for his education—That the Dutchess and the Prince are for the present to remain in the United States—That Colonel Toussard, who served during our revolutionary war, is appointed Governor of the Prince with a large salary and an appointment of Major General in the French service To this statement it may be proper to add that we have been assured that General Turreau, the French Minister, never has set down or been covered in the presence of young Bonaparte, and that this deportment is in consequence of instructions from the Court of France.
STATE LEGISLATURES.
Wednesday the 8th inst. terminated the session of the Vermont Legislature. A variety of public and individual concerns have been acted upon and disposed of. Domestic Manufacturing arts in particular receive liberal encouragement The Montpelier Cotton and Woolen Manufacturing Company—Windfor Cotton and Wool Manufacturing—Vermont Mineral Fodery Company, (for manufacturing copras and vitriols)—and the Middlebury Marble factory, have been severally incorporated.
The credit of the State Bank is likely to revive under Legislative protection.
An address to the President of the United States passed without debate—the opposition being look-jawed.
The public printing, hitherto executed by Mr. Spooner, proprietor of the Journal, is transferred to the Vermont Republican, published at Windfor.
The politics of the state were never more decisive. The following shews the republican increase in the House of Representatives since last year.
   1808. 1809.     Republicans 108 132   Federalists 91 78   New Jersey.—At the last dates the Legislature had not separated. The Assembly and Council in joint meeting, and without opposition have re-appointed Joseph Bloomfield, Governor of the state for one year—Aaron Kitchel having resigned his seat in the U. S. Senate. JOHN CONDT is chosen to supply the same.  
MARYLAND.—The Legislature met at Annapolis on the 6th instant, and not on the 14th, as has been stated. The two houses in convention have chosen Edward Lloyd Governor of the state, and General Samuel Smith Senator in Congress, for six years, from the 4th of March last. (Bofion Patriot.)
CLUB'S NARRATIVE.
It appears that Mr. Stephen Club, who has issued proposals for publishing a work respecting the conduct of General Armstrong towards him while in France, from his own acknowledgement, IS NOT AN AMERICAN, nor was he ever before in America, but a native of the north of England. He married there, an American woman, and with a view of coming to this country, shipped as 2d mate on board of an American vessel, was captured and sent into France. He there applied to gen. A. for assistance toward his release, which was refused, from the circumstance of his having acknowledged himself a British subject. He then applied to the French government, making the Emperor himself the medium of his application. He was promised release provided he could obtain passports from gen. A. who still refused taking any notice of his application, as being a British subject, he had no right whatever to claim protection from an American minister.
He, however, made known to the French government his intention of becoming an American citizen, and was actually released by the orders of the Emperor himself. He further acknowledges that the kindness and attention he witnessed from the French government was such as he could expect from no other government whatever.
Would it not be well for Mr. Club to state the great inconvenience he and his fellow sufferers must have experienced, from the circumstance of being obliged to live within eight miles of their prison? Did they or did they not, all who were disposed and had the means, keep their carriages & mistresses. Gratitude to the French government, and to the country he means to adopt ought to be each man's forbearance. (Idem.)
If King George is foolish, and Bonaparte crazy, it is hoped our Government will keep its senses, and from no connexion with either.

Portsmouth, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1809.
Appeal to the People.
Finding his insolence promptly repelled by the government, the British Minister has augmented his first offence by dispersing the following letter through the United States—
IMPORTANT LETTER.
The following Circular has been addressed by the British Minister to the several Consuls in the United States. The copy, which is subjoined, was received at New-York, and communicated to a respectable merchant in this place, with the Note accompanying it.
(CIRCULAR)
WASHINGTON, 13th Nov. 1809. Sir—I have to inform you, with much regret, that the facts which it has been my duty to state, in my official correspondence with Mr. Smith, have been deemed, by the President of the United States, to afford a sufficient motive for breaking off an important Negotiation, and for putting an end to all Communication. whatever, with me, as the Minister charged with that Negotiation, so interesting to both nations; and on one most material point of which an answer has not even been returned to an official and written overture.
One of the facts alluded to has been admitted by the Secretary of State himself, in his letter of the 19th October viz. that the three conditions forming the substance of Mr. Erskine's Original Instruction, were submitted to him by that gentleman. The other, viz. that that instruction is the only one in which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an arrangement on the matter to which it related, is known to me by the Instructions which I have myself received.
In stating these facts, and in adhering to them, as my duty imperiously enjoined me to do, in order to repel the frequent charges of ill faith which have been made against His Majesty's Government, I could not imagine that offence would be taken at it by the American Government, as most certainly none could be intended on my part; and this view of the subject has been made known to Mr. Smith. But as I am informed by him that no farther Communication will be received from me, I conceive that I have no alternative left which is consistent with the King's dignity, but to withdraw altogether from this city and to await elsewhere the arrival of His Majesty's commands upon the unlooked for turn which has thus been given to his affairs in this country.
I mean, in the interval, to make New-York the place of my residence, where you will henceforward please direct your communications to me as I shall be accompanied by every member of His Majesty's Mission. I am with great truth and regard,
Francis J. Jackson.
*Which I understand is the affair of the Chesapeake.
[In Canning's letter of the 23d January, which Jackson lays contained the only Instructions Mr. Erskine received, no mention is made of any repartition for the outrage on the Chesapeake. This is conclusive evidence that Great Britain had no intention to make peace, and that the successive embassies to this country were designed to amuse us till she could learn the result of her intrigues on the continent of Europe, or to divide the American people from their government.]
That the most inveterate enemy of America, the most prejudiced foe of the administration may not doubt as to the fact of Jackson's being an impudent liar, we affirm that the administration of the United States have, at this moment, in their possession, a letter of the late British minister (Erskine) dated August 14, 1809, in which he states the reasons, which, in the exercise of the discretion given him, had induced him NOT TO LAY HIS INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and this letter to the confusion of "the British party," will be laid before congress, when they meet on the 27th inst.
Affairs are drawing to a crisis. The British government must either do us justice or we must appeal to the last resort of nations. The people of this country will not bear to see a foreign government plunder them of their property—impress their fellow citizens—murder them in our waters—treacherously wound the honor of the nation—prostrate its flag—make contracts upon the plighted faith of nations—scoff at them when made, and then lead an impudent scornback to the feet of our government for no other purpose under heaven, but to tell our faithful public servants that they are Liars.
It is a cheering, a heart gratifying fact, that in this time of difficulty and trial, we have public men who have proved themselves worthy of the high stations in which they have been placed. They may not only be assured of the gratitude of their country, and its reliance on their wisdom and patriotism, but they may rest satisfied, that should their anxious care to preserve peace be blasted by the perfidy, duplicity, or insolence of a foreign government, they will be supported by all the energies of an united, and a determined people. [Democratic Press]
There are two ways of treating an impudent fellow—one is, to knock him down; the other, to take no notice of him.
Jackson has, in fact called the organ of the American government, a LIAR:—now as it is against all rule to slap the chops of an ambassador, the government was compelled to adopt the alternative of refusing to hold any further communication with him—and that American must be a scoundrel indeed, who shall refuse to support them in the procedure. Balt. E. Post.
Among natural curiosities, none have appeared to us more unnatural than a kind of apples in the neighborhood of this place, one half of which is four and the other half sweet—divided by a list or circle.
The British and their friends must not calculate too much on Bonaparte's being mad. There may be "meaning in his madness." Trenton True American
Joseph Bonaparte has abolished the inquisition, the torture, and the orders of Monks and Friars in Spain—a strong proof of his enmity to "Religion and good government."
We understand that several federal gentlemen are nettled at the following remark, in our last! "We had hoped the United States did not contain a wretch so base, so completely the purchased slave of Britain, as to justify the insult—but we have been sadly disappointed." We are really happy to perceive so good a symptom. We could not dismiss a belief that we should find very many, who, though on common topics, they might disagree with the administration, would on this occasion give their sanction to the course pursued towards the British minister—but to the disgrace of our country, there are some, "so completely the purchased slaves of Britain," as still to strive to weaken the arm of government, and encourage the British minister in his insolence. Can any American restrain his honest indignation at reading the following, on which the above remark was predicated, from the Baltimore Federal Gazette.
"The Intelligence from Washington, places England, than all the arts of Mr. Smith's predecessors were able to accomplish. Our country has been precipitated to the very brink of war, and the transition from prosperity and quiet to misery and blood shed has been rendered easy.
"But let us take the statement in the National Intelligence, to its utmost extent, and what appears? A disagreement as to matters of fact. The British minister spoke of Mr. Canning's dispatch to Mr. Erskine, of the 23d January, with a remote intimation, that the dispatch had been communicated to our Cabinet. Mr. Smith positively denied that the contents of the dispatch were communicated to him. Mr. Jackson, (says the intelligence) in his next letter, indeed only used a language implying that Mr. Erskine's instructions were, at the time, made known to this government." Mr. Smith in his answer, "distinctly intimated" that such "insinuations were inadmissible." Mr. Jackson again repeated his insinuations, upon which he was precipitately dismissed.
"The main question which presents itself is, whether a disagreement as to facts is good ground for the dismissal of a minister. Even admitting that Mr. Erskine never did communicate his dispatches to our government, although authorized by his government to do so, and although he has frequently and solemnly declared that he did communicate them, was it politic, or did the interest and honor of the nation demand, that the British Minister should be dismissed, for using language "implying" what was stated to be an error, and afterwards repeating that implication.
"But it seems that the avowed cause of Mr. Jackson's dismissal is, that he intentionally contradicted Secretary Smith, by implication. Administration had the power to chastise that insolence, which would not consent to a supposed misstatement of facts, and to gratify the resentment of Robert Smith (well known in Baltimore) the power was exerted by the dismissal of the refractory minister.
"Will any one be so bold as to contend that a mere disagreement as to facts, with Robert Smith, is a sufficient justification for such an important step as the nasty and insulting dismissal of a foreign ambassador? Is a foreign minister, because (to use a vulgar phrase) he comes upon our own dunghill to treat with us, to have no rights? Is he to take the representations of our Ministers for granted, and to assent to whatever coloring may be given to things, upon the pain of having his functions suspended? This to be sure is a very noble and magnanimous rule of action.
"In precipitately discharging Mr. Jackson, the reflecting part of the community may think with one accord, that our government has been guilty of reprehensible rashness and indiscretion. But the hasty publication of the rupture is not less impolitic. Possibly the breach might have been healed, but by giving an unnecessary and hasty publicity to the disagreement, the door to adjustment was intentionally closed, and our relations with England placed in a situation of greater difficulty and embarrassment than ever before existed."
Latest from Spain.
Coruña, (Gallicia) papers to the 11th October, have been received at Salem. A Carvajales article of the 1st October, mentions an action of 10 hours continuation between the Spaniards and French near Zamora; in which the French were beaten without much loss to the Patriots. This article makes it probable Ney's corps of the French remained in the positions between Salamanca and the Douro, in which our prior accounts left it. Mention is made in the Spanish papers of the interception and destruction, in Arragon, of French convoys of supplies; and of the heroic feats of a partisan Patriot herdsman, named Julian—recently promoted, to command and a title—in harassing the rear of the French army, he daily attacked, and made many prisoners. The account partakes of the Spanish marvellous; but other countries have produced similar characters; and why not Spain? Gen. Eguia, (successor of Cuesta) it seems, had joined VENEZAS, at Ciudad Real, with 24,000 men; which makes his army superior in numbers to that of Sebastiani to which it is opposed. Cent
TRANSLATED ARTICLES. "CIUDAD RODRIGO (Leon) OCT. 1. Our army which was on the heights of St. Felices, Villa Vieja and Retortillo, has gone to occupy those of Iruero Guinaldo and Gallegos; and we expect are now in Espeja and Gallegos. The object of this movement has not transpired; but without doubt, it is important, as our general has made the arrangement. Perhaps when we least expect it, we shall see a fortunate issue." [As this article is told, the Spanish movement appears to have been made as a measure of precaution. We think it probable Ney and Soult were co-operating to attack the Spaniards. Our last accounts from Lisbon mentioned that Soult had broken up from Plasencia; and was marching northward.]

Late accounts from Carthagena state, the province of Quito, had declared itself independent of Spain and had chosen its Junta. Troops were marching against Quito from the Spanish provinces, to reduce it to obedience to Ferdinand 7th.
The following extracts from the National Intelligence of Wednesday, Aug. 16, 1809, become peculiarly interesting from the ground Mr. Jackson has taken. Congress met in a few days—and much important matter relative to our dispute with Great Britain, may be expected to be laid before them—the letter from Mr. Erskine of the 11th of August, alluded to in the extract will claim a preference of perusal, as explaining his own motives and fixing the guilt of insolence upon his successor. Balt. Ev. Post.
From the National Intelligence, Aug. 16. Mr. Secretary Smith received on the 14th inst. from Mr. Erskine a long and very satisfactory letter in answer to one of the 9th inst. in which Mr. Smith had respectfully requested a candid explanation as to the conversations, which Mr. Canning's dispatch of the 23d of January had imputed to Mr. Madison, Mr. Gallatin and himself.
Mr. Erskine has moreover, in this letter, stated the reasons, which in the exercise of the discretion given him, HAD INDUCED HIM NOT TO LAY HIS INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
These papers will, no doubt be communicated in due time to Congress.
Joliah Page, was the last week arraigned at the bar of the Supreme Court in Salem, to answer to an indictment brought against him by Col. Peabody of this town, for theft. He plead guilty, and was sentenced to twenty days solitary confinement and three years hard labor in the State prison. It appears from Page's written confession, that he had stolen, taken and carried away from Col. Peabody, at different times within twenty months past, goods and specie to the amount of twenty thousand dollars; and in aggravation of this unparalleled offence, it was committed on the man who had hitherto fostered and protected him, and by his former good deportment had established him in business, and opened for him the way to respectability and independence.

On Tuesday last, the tanners shop of Messrs. John & Butler Abbot, of this town, was consumed by fire, which caught from the funnel of a stove, in which a fire had been kindled by a boy contrary to the order of his master. A large quantity of wool and skins deposited in the shop were also destroyed. Loss supposed to be about 3000 dollars. It is hoped the citizens of Portsmouth will not be remiss in contributing to the aid of two industrious and worthy young men.
