Political Miscellany.
FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT
MR. ADAMS
CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED
To the Printers of the Boston Patriot, SIRS,
IN a former letter, it was suggested that I found myself obliged to say something of the peace of 1783.
Mr. Hamilton, in his pamphlet, page 7, says, "The principal merit of the negotiation with Great Britain, in some quarters, has been bestowed on Mr. Adams; but it is certainly the right of Mr. Jay, who took a lead in the several steps of the transaction, no less honorable to his talents than to his firmness. The merit, nevertheless, of a full and decisive co-operation, is justly due to Mr. Adams."
This invidious paragraph, I am charitably disposed to believe, was owing partly to want of information, and not altogether to malice, or a desire to excite a misunderstanding between me and Mr. Jay. As I shall be obliged to take a course somewhat circuitous, in order to shew it in its true light, I request the candid attention of the reader to some documents that may at first appear tedious, but which in the end will be found important, if not essential.
God forbid that I should attempt to diminish a ray of the solid glory of Mr. Jay, in this or any other transaction of his life. A man and his commission were never better united than Mr. Jay and the commission for peace. No man ever fulfilled the duties of a trust, with more integrity, constancy, fortitude, intelligence or address. I have constantly said this in all companies and upon all occasions, for six and twenty years, and now rejoice in an opportunity of transmitting it to posterity.
As the negotiation of the peace of 1783, was a transaction pregnant of events which are full of instruction to the people of America, to future Presidents and Congresses, and ought to be so to the French nation and their government, and the English too, I hope I shall be pardoned if some things should appear at first sight to be the effect of ostentation or vanity.
The subject is too serious for any considerations of this kind to have any influence upon me. In the autumn of 1779, I attended my duty in Cambridge, as a member of the convention, while it was forming a constitution for the state of Massachusetts. Returning home to my family in Braintree, on a Saturday night, the 4th of November, I found a packet from the President of Congress, containing two commissions, accompanied with instructions, and the orders of Congress, to embark as soon as possible for Europe, on board the French frigate Le Sensible, under the command of Captain De Chavanne.
The first of these commissions constituted me a minister plenipotentiary to negotiate and conclude a peace with Great Britain; the second to negotiate a treaty of commerce with that power. The first was in these words:
The delegates of the United States, of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, To all who shall see these presents, send Greeting:
It being probable that a negotiation will soon be commenced for putting an end to the hostilities between His Most Christian Majesty and the United States on the one part, and his Britannic Majesty on the other part, and it being the sincere desire of the United States, that they may be terminated by a peace, founded on such solid and equitable principles, as reasonably to promise a permanency of the blessings of tranquility, know
ye, therefore, that we, confiding in the integrity, prudence and ability of the Honorable JOHN ADAMS, Esq., late commissioner of the United States of America, at the court of Versailles, late delegate in Congress from the State of Massachusetts Bay, and Chief Justice of the said State, have nominated and constituted, and by these presents do nominate and constitute, him, the said John Adams, our minister plenipotentiary, giving him full power, general and special, to act in that quality, to confer, treat, agree and conclude with the ambassadors or plenipotentiaries of his Most Christian Majesty, and of any other princes or states whom it may concern, vested with equal powers, relating to the reëstablishment of peace and friendship, and whatever shall be so agreed and concluded for us, and in our name, to sign, and thereupon make a treaty or treaties, and to transact every thing that may be necessary for completing, securing and strengthening the great work of pacification, in as ample form, and with the same effect, as if we were personally present, and acted therein, hereby promising in good faith, that we will accept, ratify, fulfil and execute whatever shall be agreed, concluded and signed by our said minister plenipotentiary, and that we will never act, nor suffer any person to act, contrary to the same, in the whole or in any part.
In witness whereof, we have caused these presents to be given in Congress at Philadelphia, the twenty ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand, seven hundred and seventy nine, and in the fourth year of the independence of the United States of America.
Signed by the President and sealed with his seal. SAMUEL HUNTINGTON, President, and a seal. Attest, CHARLES THOMPSON, Sec'y.
The commission for making a treaty of commerce with Great Britain, was in these words:
The delegates of the United States, of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, in Congress assembled, To all who shall see these presents, send Greeting:
It being the desire of the United States, that the peace which may be established between them and his Britannic Majesty may be permanent and accompanied with the mutual benefits derived from commerce.
Know ye, therefore, that we confiding in the integrity, prudence and ability of the Hon. JOHN ADAMS, Esq., late Commissioner of the United States of America, at the Court of Versailles, late Delegate in Congress from the State of Massachusetts Bay, and Chief Justice of that State, have nominated and constituted, and by these presents do nominate and constitute, him, the said John Adams, our Minister Plenipotentiary, giving him full power, general and special, to act in that quality, to confer, treat and conclude with the Ambassadors or Plenipotentiaries of his Britannic Majesty concerning a treaty of commerce, and to transact every thing that may be necessary for completing, securing and strengthening the same, in as ample form and with the same effect as if we were personally present and acted therein: hereby promising in good faith, that we will accept, ratify, fulfil and execute, whatever shall be agreed, concluded and signed by our said Minister Plenipotentiary, and that we will never act, nor suffer any person to act, contrary to the same, in the whole or in any part.
In witness whereof we have caused these presents to be given in Congress, at Philadelphia, the twenty ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and seventy nine, and in the fourth year of the Independence of the United States of America.
Signed by the President, and sealed with his Seal. SAMUEL HUNTINGTON, President, and a seal. Attest, CHARLES THOMPSON, Sec'y.
With these two commissions I received special instructions in detail. I had been scarcely three months at home, since my return from a former

mission to the court of Versailles, in which I had twice run the gauntlet across the Atlantic, among storms and British men of war, neither of which were delectable objects nor encouraging temptations to a second embarkation on the ocean.
My family attachments were as strong and as well founded as those of any man living, having a wife and four children, then young, whom I must either abandon in a country engaged in all the horrors of war, or commit them with myself to the dangers of the ocean, and the hazard of captivity.
Nevertheless, when I considered the perilous situation of my country, which I then had experience enough to know was in as much danger abroad as at home; the confidence reposed in me by these important communications, which I was alone to execute, I considered the voice of my country as the command of heaven: and held it my duty to resign all personal considerations, and as Luther laid upon another occasion, I determined to go, though there were as many devils in the way, as there were tigers on the houses in London.
JOHN ADAMS.
Quincy, June 22, 1809.
From the Baltimore Whig.
PEEP AT THE PAST.
"No embargo and free trade!" "Gore and free trade!"
The honest farmers must remember the hue and cry which was raised last summer against embargo. The federalists told us, it was our fault that we had not a free prosperous trade! Produce was rotting merely because our obstinate government, who were said to be the enemies of commerce would not suffer it to go to sea. Now the embargo is removed—what sort of a trade have you? England tells us we must be directed by her, or have no trade.—Yet we were offered "no embargo and free trade," if we would only consent to elect tories and federalists to congress and the house of delegates. What is the truth? Trade is ruined, or at a stand: fur is lower than ever; tobacco is useless lumber; and cotton little better—because England shuts us out of the continental market, and there is a faction here who defend her in all her measures.
In Baltimore, many persuasive cities were sung to the tune of "Winter and Free Trade" by the very men who wished us to submit to England; and it was said that if Mr. Jefferson was out of office, and his policy abandoned, trade would have to encounter no interruption.
Who will again believe the word of a party who have told us nothing but lies?
When Mr. Erskine made certain offers to our government, which were eagerly accepted, the federalists threw up their hats in the air, and shouted hollanas to Madison for consenting so promptly to a just our differences with England—and England was pronounced to be made up of amity and "good faith." The old philosopher, so obnoxious to the tories, had retired to Monticello, and the ocean was free from those anti-commercial storms which he had conjured, up like another Prospero. Madison had now got the control of the winds, and we were to be blessed with mild, uncloudy, halcyon weather. For the federalists, attributed every calamity to Mr. Jefferson's administration—English aggressions were kept out of sight—and it was loudly argued, that as we had imposed an embargo (to save our property from capture) all evils would cease with its removal—"No embargo and free trade!"
Well! the philosopher was gone into retirement indeed; followed by by the benedictions of the real friends of freedom, and pursued by the curses of the British party in America. Our ports were thrown wide open on a promise, and millions of property were soon afloat. But hark! the next accounts from England proved the fallacy of honest expectations. England would not sanction the agreement of her minister! Immediately the same faction, who had rent the air with shouts of applause for Madison changed their note, and cried out "crucify him! crucify him! England is not bound to fulfil the contract of her minister!"
We have seen this fashion veering to every point of the compass, prating then, and now condemning, saying one thing yesterday, another to day—ever faithful to England, always implacable to America. All these deeds of infamy have we witnessed; and still the fashion are untired with the labors of lying—Last week Gen. Armstrong was coming home; but the Mentor's arrival did not suffer that falsehood to live above a week! But though they are pressed to the ground by the Herculean force of truth, yet, like Antaeus, they rise with renewed strength, and assail us with a new volley of lies.
I put this question to the people at large:
Will you again be the dupes of a faction whose aim is the overthrow of your freedom and prosperity and whose means are lying, and lying, and lying?
From the Philadelphia Press.
London Phoenix Insurance company.
In consequence of the many Manufactories confirmed in the United States, and strongly suspected to have been set on fire by British Ennuiaries, we suggested, in the Press, a few weeks since, the propriety of insuring all our manufactures in the London Phoenix Insurance office. The following article from Charleston City Gazette , of August 23 will show that the London Directors of the Phoenix had foreseen the probability of such applications and had taken special care to guard against them by expressly interdicting their agents here from effecting any such insurances! I know not how this fact will pass upon the minds of other men, but I am most certain that it has made an impression upon mine which no length of time nor distance of place can ever efface. It is indeed an awful and volume-speaking fact.
We anxiously hope that our fellow-editors will give it an early and conspicuous place in their papers. This has nothing to do with party. It is purely national.—It is neither more nor less than founding the alarm when the enemy is upon our borders. As well might we traverse the streets of a populous city and observe an incendiary setting fire to the houses of our fellow citizens in the midnight and unsuspecting hour of sleep and not give the alarm as know the fact we now publish and not "cry aloud and spare not."
My readers I hope are impatient to read the fact which gave rise to those observations and I am not desirous to rein in their curiosity, but they must pardon me if I detain them to throw out one more suggestion on this universally interesting subject. If the London Directors of the Phoenix Insurance company have expressly interdicted their agents in the United States from effecting insurances on those of our manufactories which interfere with the manufactures and interests of Great Britain, ought not our citizens one and all voluntarily, instanter and irrevocably determine that they would effect no more insurance of any kind with any Foreign Insurance office and that they would soon as possible effect a total non-intercourse between the citizens of the United States and the London Phoenix Insurance company.
SOMETHING TO REFLECT ON. We are informed that the President of the South Carolina Homespun Company, on Friday last, called upon J. M. Davis agent for the London Phoenix Insurance Company in this city, for the purpose of effecting insurance on the Homespun Factory of Charleston, and that Mr. Davis positively refused to insure the same, declaring, that he was expressly interdicted from making insurance on Factories in America in which Cotton was an article employed.—He further stated, that the Phoenix Company had already sustained heavy losses, from the many fires already communicated to factories on the continent.

H. Q. Vienna, 8th June, 1809
Col. Gorgon aid-de-camp to the Emperor of Russia has arrived at the imperial headquarters, with a letter from his sovereign, to the emperor and king. It announces that the Russian army is in the direction of Olmutz, having passed the frontier on the 24th of May.
The Emperor passed the day before yesterday in reviewing his guard, infantry, cavalry and artillery. The inhabitants of Vienna have admired the number, the fine appearance and the good conduct of these troops.
The Viceroy is with the army of Italy at Oedenburg in Hungary. It appears that the Archduke John intends to rally his army on the Raab.
The Duke of Ragusa, (Marmonte) arrived at Laybach on the 3d of this month, with the army of Dalmatia.
The heat is very great, and persons acquainted with the Danube, say that an inundation may be expected here in a few days. We shall profit by this circumstance to finish, independently of the bridges of boats and rafts, the planting of piles.
All the intelligence we receive from the coast of the enemy announces that the cities of Presburg, Brunn and Znaim are filled with the wounded. The Austrians themselves estimate their loss at 48,000 men.
Prince Poniatowski, with the army of the grand duchy of Warsaw pursues his success. After the taking of Sandomir, he besieged the fortress of Zamosc and defeated the enemy. w. lost 3,000 men and 30 pieces of cannon. All the Poles who were with the Austrian army deserted.
The enemy, after having taken themselves before Thron, have been vigorously pursued by Gen. Dombroski.
The Archduke Ferdinand does not retire without shame from his expedition. He is said to have arrived in Austrian Silesia, reduced to one third of his forces.
Count Metternich has arrived at Vienna. There will be an exchange at the advanced
posts, with the French legation, to whom the Austrians (contrary to the rights of men) had refused passports, and whom they had carried away to Pest.
BULLETIN, No. XVIII.
VIENNA, JUNE 13.
The division of the Gen. Chasteller, which revolted in the Tyrol, passed through the neighborhood of Clagenfurth on the fourth inst on its way to Hungary. Gen. Ruffea pursued and engaged it; the enemy was beaten; we took 300 prisoners.
Prince Eugene with a considerable corps is manoeuvring in the heart of Hungary. Within a few days the Danube has risen one foot.
Gen. Cracine, with a Dutch Division, having marched to Straubing, where Schill had fortified himself, has carried his intrenchments by assault. Schill had given orders to set fire to the city in order to cover his retreat, but his hand had not time to execute it, it has been entirely killed or taken: he himself was killed on the great square at the moment he was making his escape and was endeavouring to reach the port to embark.
The Archduke Ferdinand precipitately evacuated Warsaw June 2d. Thus the whole of the grand duchy is abandoned by the enemy's army, whilst the troops under the command of the Prince Poniatowski, occupy three fourths of Galicia.
Affairs of Poland.
The enemy continues his retreat with the same precipitation. On the 28th of May 12 Polish regiments upon reconnoitering duty met a Skiriewice one hundred and ten Austrian dragoons who were retreating towards Rava; they routed them, and made 11 prisoners. On the 30th, in the morning Gen. Kosinski, commanding the advanced guard, after having entered Lowicz, proceeded as far as Sczczuczew where he met with more of them, who it appears are retreating to Polota. Some reports however seem to indicate that the main of the Austrian troops are bending their march towards Upper Silesia. They commit excesses every where; they carry away provisions, cattle and horses. The new levies of all the departments take place with the greatest rapidity and success.
The Archduke Ferdinand, in contempt of the convention made with Prince Poniatowski, and the engagement he had taken not to levy any contribution, has exacted one of 40,000 florins on the city of Warsaw. He has moreover required that the territorial impositions and the residue of a forced loan established in 1803, and whose payments fall due only in 1810 should be delivered up to him. These measures foretold the evacuation of Warsaw, which followed soon after.
Prince Poniatowski writes to the Prince of Neuchatel, from head quarters at Iliczi, 25th of May, that on the 24th the General of Brigade of Kosinski rendered himself master of Jaroslaw where he has made 1 colonel, 25 officers and 900 men prisoners of war. The occupation of that town intercepts entirely the communication between Cracow and Leopold and insures to the army the possession of three fourths of Galicia. The advanced posts were within one day's march of Cracow.
BULLETIN, No. XIX.
VIENNA, 16th June, 1809.
The anniversary of the battle of Marzugo was celebrated by the victory of Raab, which the right wing of the army, commanded by the Viceroy, obtained over the corps of the Archduke John, and of the Archduke Palatine, which has formed their junction.
Ever since the battle of Piava, the Viceroy has been closely pursuing the archduke John.
The Austrian army were expecting to take up their cantonments at the sources of the Raab, between St. Gothard and Cormond.
On the 5th of June, the Viceroy set off from Neustadt and moved his head quarters to Oedenburg in Hungary.
On the 7th he continued his movements and arrived at Guns. Gen. Lauriston with his corps of observation joined his left wing.
On the 8th, general Montbrun, with his division of light cavalry, forced the passage of the Raabnitz, near Sovenyhaga, overthrew 300 dragoons belonging to the Hungarian insurrection, and drove them back upon the Raab.
On the 9th, the Viceroy marched against Sarvar. The cavalry of General Crouchy came up with the van of the enemy at Sarvar, and took some prisoners.
On the 10th General Macdonald arrived at Cormond from Gratz.
On the 11th, the general of division, Grenier, met at Karsko a column of the enemy's flankers, which defended the bridge and crossed the river by main force. General Debrecz, with the 9th hussars made a spirited attack against a battalion of 900 men and took 300 prisoners.
On the 12th, the army marched by the way of the bridge of Merfa against Papa: from the height the Viceroy beheld all the enemy's army drawn up in line of battle. The General of division, Montbrun, a general of cavalry, and an officer of great promise, entered the plain, attacked and overthrew the enemy's cavalry, after having executed several precise and vigorous manoeuvres. The enemy had already began to retreat. The Viceroy passed the night at Papa.
On the 13th, at 5 in the morning, the army began its march towards Raab. Our cavalry and that of the Austrians met at the village of Szanok. The enemy was routed, and we took 400 prisoners.
The Archduke John having formed his junction with the Archduke Palatine, near Raab took a position upon the advantageous heights, his right protected by Raab, a fortified city, and left covering the road of Comron, another fortress in Hungary.
On the 14th, at 11 o'clock in the morning, the Viceroy drew out his army in line of battle, and with 35,000 men he attacked 50,000. The ardour of our troops was further augmented by the remembrance of the memorable victory by which that day is consecrated. All the soldiers shouted for joy when they came in sight of the enemy's army, which was in three lines, and consisted of from 20 to 25,000 men being the remains of the brilliant army of Italy, which so lately considered itself as master of all Italy; of 10,000 men commanded by general Hardec, and formed of the reserve in the Hunga-
rian reserves; of from 5 to 6,000 men, the rallied wrecks of the corps of Jelachich and of the other columns of the Tyrol who had escaped from the movements of the army through the defiles of Corinthia; and of from 12 to 15,000 men of the Hungarian insurrection, cavalry and infantry.
The Viceroy placed his army, the cavalry of general Montbrun the brigade of general Colbert, and the cavalry of Gen. Crouchy upon his right; the corps of general Grenier, forming two echelons the right of which consisted of the division of general Seras, in front; an Italian division commanded by general Baraguay d'Hilliers formed the third echelon, and the division of general Puthod in reserve. Gen. Lauriston with his corps of observation supported by general Sabac, formed the extreme of the left wing, and observed Raab.
At two o'clock in the afternoon the cannon began to play. At three o'clock, the first, the second and the third echelons were engaged.—The fire of musketry became brisk—the enemy's first line was forced—but the second line stopped for a moment the impetuosity of our first echelon, which which was soon reinforced, and that line was also routed. The enemy's reserve was then brought into action. The Viceroy who followed all the enemy's movements, marched on his side with the reserve; the strong positions of the Austrians were carried, and at 4 o'clock the victory was decided.
The enemy being completely routed would have found considerable difficulty in rallying, if a detch had not obstructed the movements of our cavalry. Three thousand prisoners, 6 pieces of cannon, and a stand of colours are the trophies of this battle. The enemy left on the field of battle 3000 killed among whom were found a Major General. Our loss in killed and wounded amounts to 900 men—among the former is colonel Thiersy, of the 22d regiment of light infantry, and among the latter the general of brigade Tacontine and colonel Expett.
The Viceroy makes particular mention of generals Grenier, Montbrun, Seras and Dantonars. The Italian division Sevaroli displayed a great deal of precision and presence of mind. Several generals had their horses killed under them: four aid-de-camps to the Viceroy were slightly wounded. The Prince was constantly in the very heat of the battle. The artillery commanded by general Sorbier maintained their reputation.
The field of battle of Raab has been long marked out by the enemy, for he had some time before the battle announced his intention of maintaining that strong position. On the 15th he was closely pursued upon the road of Comron and of Pest.
The inhabitants of the country are quiet and do not take any part in the war. The proclamation of the Emperor has agitated their minds. It is well known that the Hungarian nation have always been desirous of their independence. The part of the insurrection which is now with the army was raised by the last diet; it is under arms and it obeys.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
Washington City, August 10.
By the President of the United States of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS in consequence of a communication from His Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary, declaring that the British Orders in Council of January and Nov. 1807, would have been withdrawn on the 10th day of June last; and by virtue of Authority given, in such event, by the 18th section of the act of Congress entitled "an act to interdict the commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France and their dependencies, and for other purposes," I JAMES MADISON, President of the United States did issue my Proclamation bearing date of the 19th of April last, declaring that the Orders in Council aforesaid would have been so withdrawn on the said 10th day of June, after which the trade suspended by certain acts of Congress might be renewed; And whereas it is now officially made known to me that the said orders in council have not been withdrawn agreeable to the communication and declaration aforesaid; I do hereby proclaim the same, and consequently that the trade renewable on the event of the said orders being withdrawn, is to be considered as under the operation of the several acts by which such trade was suspended.
Given under my hand and the Seal of the U. States at the city of Washington the ninth day of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and nine, and of the Independence of the said United States the thirty-fourth.
(Signed.) JAMES MADISON. By the President, R. SMITH, Secretary of State.
[The following letter has been addressed by the Secretary of the Treasury to the respective Collectors, in consequence of the above Proclamation.]
(CIRCULAR.)
Treasury Department, Aug. 9.
SIR,—You will herewith receive the copy of a Proclamation of the President of the United States, announcing that certain British orders in council were not withdrawn on the 10th day of June last, and consequently that the trade renewable, on the event of the said orders being withdrawn, is to be considered as under the operation of the several acts by which such trade was suspended.
The act "to amend and continue in force certain parts of the act entitled "An act to interdict the commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France and their dependencies, and
for other purposes," p. 4. c. 1. 28th day of June, is therefore in every respect applicable to G. Britain and her dependencies, as well as to France and her dependencies, any thing in my circular of 29th June last to the contrary notwithstanding.
It results, that from the receipt of this, you must in every instance, except as herinafter expressed, refuse clearances for British ports, requiring, as usual, bonds from all vessels bound to permitted ports, in the manner provided by the 3d section of the act above mentioned. But as many British vessel have or may come into the ports of the United States in consequence of the President's proclamation of the 19th of April last, he directs that you will permit such British vessels to depart without giving bond, either in ballast, or with the cargo on board when notified of the enclosed proclamation—it being however understood that this indulgence shall not be extended to any other vessels than such as are now in the ports of the United States, or such as may hereafter arrive, having sailed from a foreign port before information of the enclosed proclamation shall have been received at such port.
The president also directs that until a decision from congress on that unexpected point shall have been obtained or until otherwise instructed, seizures or prosecutions for supposed contraventions of either the above mentioned act or of the non-intercourse act of 18 March last, arising from acts which would in conformity with his proclamation of the 19th April last, have been considered as lawful, shall be suspended in the following cases, viz.
1. All vessels which have entered a British port since the 10th of June last or which may hereafter enter such a port having sailed for the same, before information of the enclosed proclamation had been received at the port of departure—so far as relates to any forfeiture or penalty which may accrue or have accrued by reason of their having thus entered a British port.
2. All vessels which have arrived either from British ports or with British merchandise in the United States subsequent to the 10th of June last; and also all vessels which may hereafter thus arrive, having sailed for the United States, before information of the enclosed proclamation shall have been received at the port of departure so far as relates to any forfeiture or penalty accruing from having arrived or arriving in the United States from British ports or with British merchandise.
3. All vessels now owned by citizens of the United States, and sailing under the American flag, which being in a foreign port at the time when the enclosed proclamation will be made known at such port, shall with all due diligence depart therefrom, and return without delay to the U. States; so far as relates to any forfeiture or penalty accruing from their arriving in the United States from British ports or with British merchandise.
In the abovementioned cases of vessels arriving in the United States and which are for the present exempted from seizure, the vessels and cargoes may be admitted to entry.
The time when the enclosed proclamation shall have been known at the ports of departure respectively, must be ascertained by the best means in your power: and you may refer doubtful cases to this department.
Application may of course still be made in all cases for an absolute remission of the forfeitures and penalties in the manner provided by law; the instructions herein given to obtain from prosecutions and seizures in the abovementioned cases being only intended to prevent the expenses and inconveniences to which the parties concerned would otherwise be exposed.
I am respectfully, fir, your obedient servant, ALBERT GALLATIN. The Collector of
NON-INTERCOURSE.
A reversion to this measure, (as announced by the President's proclamation,) was not altogether unexpected. The measure appears to rest on the ground of a constructive authority, which we presume will not be seriously questioned. We have not the temerity to hazard even conjecture upon the course his majesty's advocates will pursue on this subject. Their royal client's cause has taken so many different and desperate turns that they appear to be on the point of abandoning it. Be this as it may, we have the satisfaction to observe on this, as on several late occasions, a general disposition to support our government in such measures as its wisdom may dictate. Such a disposition is honorable to our countrymen, must if it prevail, crown our cause with success.
It is said, that 2000 English and Sicilian troops, have been enticed into Calabria, surrounded, and made prisoners.

This morning at ten o'clock, the following Imperial Decree, dated Vienna, the 17th of May, 1809, was proclaimed in all the public squares and market-places of the city, accompanied by the firing of cannon from the Castle of St. Angelo.
"Napoleon, Emperor of the French, &c, taking into consideration that when Charlemagne, Emperor of the French, and our sublime predecessor, endowed the Bishop of Rome with various lands, they were given as fiefs to maintain the peace of his subjects, and that Rome did therefore cease to form a part of his empire: considering further, that since that time the union of spiritual and temporal power has been, and still is the source of confusion; that the popes have but too frequently availed themselves of the one to support their pretensions to the other and that with spiritual concerns, which are in their nature immutable, have been confounded worldly affairs, which change with the circumstances and politics of the times."
"Considering finally, that it is in vain to attempt to reconcile with the temporal pretensions of the Pope all that we have concerted for the security of our army, the repose and prosperity of the nations over which we reign, and the dignity and inviolability of our empire—"
"We have decreed, and do decree as follows:
 "Art. 1. The Papal territory is united with the French Empire.  "2. The city of Rome, illustrious for the recollections it recalls, and for the monuments which it contains is declared to be a free and imperial city. Its government and administration shall be fixed by a particular decree.  "3. The monuments of Roman greatness shall be maintained and preferred, at the expense of our treasury.  "4. The public debt is declared to be the debt of the empire.  "5. The revenue of the Pope shall be fixed at two millions of francs, free from all charges and contributions.  "6. The property and places of his Holiness shall be subject to no imposition, jurisdiction or visitation, and shall besides enjoy special prerogatives.  "7. An extraordinary Consulta shall, on the 1st of June, take possession, in our name of the Papal dominions, and adopt measures that on the first of January 1810, the constitutional Government take effect.  (Signed) "NAPOLEON."
Another decree of the same date establishes an extraordinary Consulta, consisting of the following members:—Miotlis Governor General President; Suvage Minister of the King of Naples; Degerando, Jamet, Del Pozzo, and Debalde, Secretaries.
The king of the Two Sicilies (Murat) had left Naples with his body guards and infantry. He was expected at Rome, the 12th of June. It is probable he will oversee the new order of things in that province and go on to Austria.
From the Albany Register. A FEW PLAIN QUESTIONS To the Editors of Federal newspapers generally, to which it is expected an answer will not be refused.
1st. During the last election when the President's proclamation and the correspondence between Smith and Erskine arrived, did you not tell us that Great Britain had been always disposed to settle our differences honorably, that she had before made the same propositions to Mr. Jefferson, which his hostility to her and French influence had prevented his accepting?
2d. Do you not now tell us that she never did make such propositions, and do you not censure Mr. Erskine for acting without instructions?
3d. Were you guilty of falsehood and misrepresentation then, or are you guilty now? and if you shamefully and basely deceived your readers at the election, do you really think you are entitled to their confidence on any occasion? Would any of you employ a servant who had wilfully deceived you when his passion or his interest prompted him?
4th. Did you not in your conscience believe that you deserve the appellation of TORIES, when to maintain the cause of Britain, to extol her goodness and to emblazon her justice, in defiance of truth and regardless of conscience, you sacrificed the reputation of Jefferson and betrayed the confidence of your readers?
5th. Finally, do you feel that you have done injustice to Mr. Jefferson in charging him with French influence for not acceding to propositions which you have acknowledged were never made?
Though you may seek security in silence and may hope for forgetfulness in this dreadful crisis of our fate, when the destinies of our country are suspended by a single hair; yet be not deceived, for the sentence of your guilt will soon be pronounced by the voice of an indignant people, who equally despise and abhor British hirelings, whether foreign or domestic.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
Great Pains are taking by the sedalists to circulate a list of the names of Seamen, said to be detained as prisoners of war, in France. We are very glad to find these exclusive patriots can even in any case, feel for enslaved Americans. In time perhaps, they may come to be persuaded that the nation which has four thousand of them incarcerated in worse than dungeons, and which still "claims and exercises the right" of adding to that number, has (Pickering's declaration to the contrary notwithstanding,) actually done us some "essential injury."
TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1809.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND. Received per the fchr. FAIR TRADER in 6 days from Halifax—London dates to July 5.
LONDON, July, 4. THE EXPEDITION.
From the secrecy which hitherto been preserved there is not the smallest reason to believe that the numerous points of destination which have been ascribed to the Expedition are announced on any better authority than that of mere conjecture. The quantity of artillery, both field and battering, is so numerous, as to render it extremely probable that a sudden attack is meditated on some great naval arsenal, or place of strength of some of our enemies. Heavy baggage is strictly prohibited; and although every officer employed is as ignorant as the public, of the destination of the Expedition, it is the general opinion that the service will not be of longer duration than that against Copenhagen.
It is already discovered that it will be impossible to complete the various arrangements so early as the 8th inst. on which day it was originally proposed that the expedition should sail, and to collect the whole at one point found to be equally impracticable, within any reasonable time; the expedition must therefore sail from different ports. Portsmouth is the grand point of assembly; at Harwich and the Downs also troops are collecting. Notwithstanding the expedient of employing ships of war to convoy the troops, which now appears to be a measure of necessity, the deficiency is such, that even foreign vessels have been taken up by Government as transports.
JULY 5. All such American and other neutral vessels as may be engaged by the Transport Board to serve, are to be commanded by British officers, and navigated by British crews. It is also said that British merchants have a decided interest in such ships.
EMBARGO.
Orders are said to have been issued for a rigorous and general Embargo in every port in the United Kingdom.
The grand contending armies on the banks of the Danube remained in a state of strange inactivity.
There were reports that a negotiation of Peace was on foot between Austria and France; but they were mere reports—At the last date, Bonaparte had caused a division of his forces to pass the Danube, at Lintz; and was making other preparations which indicated that the tranquillity of the Danube would speedily again be interrupted.
Mr. Jackson took leave of the British King on the 6th July, previously to sailing for the United States.
SPAIN.
On a more careful perusal of the Spanish Junta papers brought by the ship Golden Age from Cadiz, which place she left 11th July, we find, in contradiction to part of the verbal reports by said ship, published in several papers, that the "Spanish army had advanced to within 10 leagues of Madrid." The latest paper June 29th mentions that the van guard of the French General Sebastiani's army was posted at Valdepenas, in La Mancha a place famous for the best red wine in Spain.
The provinces of Spain in possession of the French armies, at the last date, were—Biscay, Navarre, Arragon, Catalonia, Old Castilla, New Castille, Asturias, part of Galicia, Leon, part of Estremadura—10. The remainder of the provinces of Spain, at the last date, in possession of the forces of the Junta of Seville, were—Valencia, Murcia, Grenada, and Andalusia—4. The report of "Cuesta's army, being about 70,000" is about as correct as that "thousands of young volunteers from the Canaries were in daily drill in Cadiz, unless it is meant to include in Cuesta's army, the whole Portuguese English forces. So much for verbal reports.
We understand that Mr. ERSKINE is ordered, by his government, to remain at Washington till further instructed.
The U. S. frigate, Constitution, commodore ROGERS, failed from New York on the 15th inst. on a cruise.
On Thursday the U. S. frigate, the PRESIDENT, Capt. Bainbridge, dropped down below the bar at the mouth of the Eastern Branch, whence she will shortly proceed on a cruise. We understand that this frigate has been fitted out in the highest style in every respect, being at this moment, greatly superior to what she was when originally fitted out; and is equal if not superior to any vessel in the world carrying the same weight of metal. [Nat. Intell.]
The managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital, state in their annual report, that they were under the care of that institution during the last twelve months, ending 22d April, 1944 patients, of whom 1233 were out door patients and 711 within the Hospital. Of this number 1480 were cured, 68 relieved, 87 deaths, &c. and 175 remaining in the institution.
Mr. Weeks, IN your paper of the 8th inst. is a communication which has just been put into my hands, by a party who considers himself aggrieved, with a request that I would lend my aid "to defend the poor Brokers from the unmerited calumny every where heaped upon them." Having during the past year assisted in developing the scene of iniquity and peculation practiced upon the public, by an individual of this town, through the assistance and perhaps connivance of the Directors of the Farmer's Exchange and Berkshire Banks, I have naturally been led to trace the evils of the present mode of conducting banking business in the interior of the country, to its source; and I can assure your correspondent that his abloquy is not directed to the proper persons, when aimed at the class of men transacting business as brokers. From the ignorance of the writer upon the subject, I need only to state to him and your readers a few facts, which will prove that with the Directors of Banks in the distant parts of New England originates all the mischief which he so pathetically laments. I will take the banks in the order in which he makes mention of them. First, the Berkshire Bank has nearly or quite the whole amount of its capital locked up in the Exchange Coffee House in Boston, which no human being believes will soon be converted into cash—of course the bills issued by this bank cannot be paid. Second, the President of the Vermont banks drew an indictment against a gentleman for demanding payment of some of their bills, and presented it to the grand jury; and latterly when payment was asked by a poor man of some bills, they refused; and on his asking a director where he should go for payment he was answered, "to the Devil if you please." I have before me a statement, that one of the Vermont Banks has bills in circulation to more than fourteen times the amount of specie in its vaults; and in addition to all this, a Director lately assured me; that "two of the Banks" (Middlebury and Westminster) could not redeem their bills for a long time to come;—and they utterly refuse to make any provision for payment when presented. These banks commenced in ignorance and have been prostituted to the most base purposes; and are now sinking, probably never to rise again, unless the state is regenerated, and provision made by the Assembly to redeem their paper currency. The only fact respecting the Penobscot Bank unfavorable, is the immense quantity of their paper in the market. The Treasurer of this State assures me that one half his receipts for six months past have been in Penobscot bills. Coos Bills to a vast amount have lately been forced into circulation; and drafts for large sums given by the bank for bills returned, remain protested and unpaid. Within a few days the Directors have been waited upon for payment of some bills, and the answer given was in substance—"We are unable to pay our bills at present, but if any number of men who hold them to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, will let us have them on six, nine and twelve months credit, we will give them good security for the payment." In the name of common sense, what is a bank bill good for when it ceases to represent specie; or in other words, when it will not command its nominal value at the place where it was issued? The true cause of the oppression under which the community suffers, is the improper quantity of bills issued by various banks; and until some check is contrived, such frauds upon the public must continue. Generally, and in the cases of the several banks abovementioned, the first alarm was given by the non-payment of drafts which had fallen due. Shall monied speculators in such cases be prevented from purchasing (through the medium of Brokers) depreciated bills? Do they not do essential good in giving a poor man 90 or 95 cents for a paper dollar, with which he cannot buy a loaf of bread? In case of an eventual failure, the bills if bought up, will be lost in the hands of the wealthy instead of the poor; and who can tell how many poor industrious families have been preferred from distress the past winter by advertisements, to receive "Farmer's Exchange Bills at par for Goods, &c."
If as I suspect your correspondent has the direction of, or is interested in a Country Bank, I beg leave to ask him if the "curse" of which he complains, does not originate in more corrupt sources than with Boston Brokers?
A Merchant and no Broker. Boston, August 12, 1809.
In Virginia, a certain Mr. Usher was saved from being killed in a duel, by two Spanish milled dollars, which were lodged in his waistcoat pocket. The ball of his antagonist struck the dollars and rebounded. It is strange that a man who had a spare dollar, should be concerned in a duel.
[Anti-Monarchist.]
Our southern brethren have many advantages over the eastern men in fighting duels. They can procure the hard cash to line their pockets. Here we have nothing but a miserable paper currency, which will not stop the force of a ball. [Ibid.]
There is a question whether British guineas will stop the progress of a musket ball. A certain revolutionary Colonel had no confidence in their efficacy in this way, or he would have brought up his regiment in season to have displayed his prowess at Lexington. [Ibid.]
Our Bills of Mortality are from Baltimore for the first week in August, 29—3 adults and 26 children. In the 2d week of July only 16 of whom 11 were children and 5 adults. In Charleston S. C. in the 2d week of July the deaths were 18—13 negroes, in Philadelphia in the whole month of July 224—74 adults and 150 children. In the two last weeks of July in Baltimore 48—12 adults and 36 children. In New-York in two last weeks of July, 83—39 adults and 44 children giving in the last week 49—24 adults and 25 children. In the present month in the first week of August in Philadelphia 64—22 adults, and 42 children. And in New-York, 56—21 adults and 35 children. The Alarm at Brooklyn in Long Island opposite to New York from the late sickness has ceased. We have had very cool weather for the season and lately very refreshing rain, without any particular complaints.
A dreadful explosion of gun-powder took place in June last, at Portsmouth, (Eng.) in which 30 persons were blown to atoms.

9999999999999999 THE Subscriber once more calls on all those indebted to the late firm of PEIRCE & GARDNER, that an immediate settlement of all accounts is expected—he has taken a chamber in the same building with the Gazette Office, where he will tarry one month for the purpose of adjusting all debts and demands. Persons indebted will do well to call within the above mentioned time, if they would wish to avoid costs of suit—which would perhaps double the amount of their respective debts,—but those who refuse to comply with such a reasonable request after having been called on for months, may expect to have costs of prosecution added. All who are unable to pay, will avoid trouble and expense by making it known.—It is to be wished that all concerned may hearken to a call which will in the end prove so much to their advantage.
