THE BEST ANSWER
To all the calumny of the administration and General Wilkinson.
NEW-ORLEANS, MAY, 1807.
The following Address is now in circulation, and will receive the signatures of all the real proprietors of the soil, from whom it has proceeded. The gentlemen whose names are attached to this address, are known to most gentlemen of information in the states, as among the first in every respect in the territory of Louisiana.
TO THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States.
SIR—We had already passed some years of happiness and prosperity, under the tutelary administration of the union; we had begun to facilitate ourselves on seeing our country enjoying, under the safeguard of laws, those blessings of peace to which the rest of the world are strangers; when a handful of restless and ambitious men, such as in all times have disregarded the misfortunes of society, plotted in silence a vast insurrection, of which our unfortunate city was to be the focus.—With what painful sensations were we overwhelmed, when the dreadful conspiracy, disclosed by the emissaries of Aaron Burr themselves, was about to be executed! A little more circumspection on their part, and all was over, perhaps, forever, with Louisiana. This country, escaped, as by a miracle, from a revolutionary convulsion, was about to witness all the scenes of horror and desolation, which have accompanied the insurrections in the French colonies.
But the veil, under which the conspirators concealed their perfidious machinations, was not so impenetrable that they could escape your vigilance. You had, sir, full knowledge of the dangers that threatened us ere we could suspect their existence, and we yet slept tranquilly over the volcano, when your wisdom watched to close it.
We did not long wait to experience the effects of your paternal solicitation. Gen. Wilkinson soon appeared within our walls, with an imposing force, and his presence at the moment of alarm revived tranquillity among all our honest and peaceable citizens. The inhabitants of Louisiana received him with those sentiments of confidence which a respectable veteran so justly inspired, who offered, as the pledge of his integrity and uprightness, a long and honorable career. He revealed the details of the odious conspiracy, and acquainted astonished Louisiana, that it was in the very bosom of its faithful people that the traitors had established the seat of their conspiracy. Alarmed at first at the dangers which had assailed them unawares, but soon inspired by the vigilance and activity of this respectable general, the Louisianians pressed forward with eagerness to his assistance: all the force and resources of the country were placed at his disposal; and, if any thing could justify the excesses of this confidence, it was the moderation with which he used the great power, with the sense of public danger invested him with, at the crisis of alarm and apprehension.
As active in his pursuit of the authors and partisans of insurrection, as distrustful of persons interested in making him display an unjust severity, by calumnious accusations, the result of which would have produced an equally great convulsion, Gen. Wilkinson was sufficiently firm and circumspect to avoid the alternative of measures either too feeble or too severe.
In the midst of trouble and tumult, when the public calamities had reduced in some measure, the laws to silence; the persons and the property of the peaceful citizens were constantly respected. His just severity was directed against the partisans of the treason alone, and with pride we say, that he did not find one of them among us: not one of those who were engaged in the alarming conspiracy, was a native of Louisiana.
The accomplices of Aaron Burr have not failed to asperse the conduct of Gen. Wilkinson—his vigilance was represented as a continued system of inquisition—his severity as an abuse of power.—Surprised at the same instant and in all their schemes, they represented as public consternation, the terror with which they themselves were stricken, and they represented his vigorous measures as infractions of law and of the constitution. But who does not see in these miserable clamors, the last expressions of despair and of the impotence of crime? who does not clearly perceive that it was the last resource, which the friends of Aaron
Burr had, to conceal the traces of their conspiracy, and to change their condition from that of the accused to the accusers.
But let us who yet tremble at the remembrance of the dangers to which our families and fortunes were exposed, be permitted to appreciate more justly the conduct of general Wilkinson.
If calumny is necessary to his enemies, gratitude is due from us. It is for us to bless the generous efforts, which rescued Louisiana from so many misfortunes—those who had plotted its ruin cannot but have its deliverer.
But you, sir, to whose vigilance, in the beginning, we are indebted for the tranquillity we now enjoy; you, whose heart was affected by the distress to which our country was about to be a prey, and who came so efficaciously to our relief; you will, we flatter ourselves with the belief, attribute all these vain clamors to the true motive. Was it necessary in order to verify or establish the crime of the incendiaries, to wait until the torches of discord and rebellion had scattered mourning and desolation through our unfortunate country? and ought we not then a thousand times to thank heaven, for having raised up amongst us, in the midst of those fears and embarrassments which arose out of the very nature of our laws and constitution, a man of conscious integrity as to dare to overcome forms, in order to snatch us from the horrors of an insurrection, so contrary to our interests and our wishes?
Yes, sir, if any thing could add to the lively sense of gratitude, which we feel towards general Wilkinson, it was the heroic resignation with which he devoted himself to every species of calumny and insult, in order to divert the torrent of misfortune which was about to overwhelm us. The monsters who had sworn our ruin, believed themselves certain of success, they did not anticipate so much energy and magnanimity in the military chief, who so honorably justifies your choice.—They had calculated upon half measures, and above all upon a rivalry for power between the governor and the general; but in politics as in morals, there is an instinct in upright hearts, which leads them to discover each other; and we have had the satisfaction to see governor Claiborne justifying our expectations, by seconding the views and efforts of general Wilkinson, and that all the other persons honored with your confidence had no other sentiments but those of love and duty to their country.
Accept, sir, the assurances of our profound respect for your character, and of our sincere attachment to your person—[Here follow the signatures of about 150 persons.]
RICHMOND, JUNE 29.
At a numerous meeting of the citizens of Richmond, of Manchester, and the vicinities, and of many other persons from distant places, held at the capitol, on the 27th of June for the purpose of taking under their consideration the late outrage committed on the frigate Chesapeake by a British squadron—a number of spirited and patriotic Resolutions were unanimously adopted, together with the following
ADDRESS
To the President of the United States.
SIR—We, the citizens of Richmond, Manchester, and their vicinities, and of many other persons from distant places, who have assembled to take under consideration, the late hostile attack upon the frigate Chesapeake, by a British ship of war, and the murder of a number of American seamen in a time of peace, are impelled by the strongest motives to express those sentiments of indignation which the occasion must naturally inspire. When we reflect upon the uniform course of pacific conduct which has been observed by the government of the United States, towards all foreign nations, when we recollect, on the other hand, the innumerable insults and aggressions which Great Britain has inflicted on our just and lawful commerce; we can only discover in this recent act of violence, the consummation of a system which has for its object the prostration of neutral rights at the feet of a haughty and ambitious power. The door of negotiation is finally closed; the first blow of war has been struck; and the people of America are called upon to decide, whether they will

rally around the standard of the constitution, or resign at once that glorious independence which was purchased by the valor of their fathers, and cemented with their blood. At a period of such magnitude as the present, it is peculiarly necessary that the people of America should display to the world the devotion which they feel to the free, mild and beneficent government under which they live, and their invincible determination to resist to the utmost extremity, every outrage on their rights from whatever quarter it may proceed. The persons who now address you, speak not only for themselves, but for their country; they feel that they deliver the sentiments of the nation; and they are confident that they will find a corresponding emotion in the bosom of the Chief Magistrate of the nation.
When an act of unequivocal hostility has been perpetrated; when our armed vessels are not permitted to leave our own ports with impunity; when a British commander gives the signal from our very harbors, for the capture of our ships, it becomes a question not of reason, but of feeling. Whatever may be the grounds of the contest in which we are engaged, we are compelled to close in that appeal to arms which has been made by our adversary. It is impossible to pursue a temporising conduct, without engraving an indelible stain on our national character. The reputation of our country is at stake; and it must now be decided whether we shall assume the dignified attitude of an independent state, or meanly crouch under the lash of an insolent foe.
No nation upon earth has so many cogent reasons for maintaining a friendly intercourse with the rest of the world, as the United States. Far removed from that bloody scene of ambition, which Europe has exhibited for centuries; pursuing the even tenor of honest industry; regardless of that illusive glory which is only to be obtained at the expence of happiness; anxious only for that solid renown which springs from an undeviating course of justice and virtue; too simple for the insidious arts of courtly intrigues, and too refined for the exertion of lawless power; they might have flattered themselves with the hope, that they should escape the ravages of those conflicts which have desolated the old continent.
America has every thing to hope from peace, and every thing to deprecate from war. But her growing commerce and rising prosperity, cherished by the genial warmth of freedom, were objects too tempting to the rapacious eye of a power who arrogates to herself the exclusive dominion of the seas. From the moment our independence was established, Great Britain regarded with malignant jealousy, the progress of a nation whom she had once held in bondage. From that moment until the present, she has waged an open or concealed war against our indisputable rights. It would be superfluous to dwell on the various crimes which she has committed against the law of nations; but it may not be improper to enumerate, a few more prominent than the rest, which mark the spirit which has pervaded her whole conduct. She has occupied posts within our territory which ought to have been surrendered, by treaty; she has enlarged the law of contraband, beyond the most liberal construction of the law of nations; she has seized our vessels laden with provisions; she has invented a new system of blockade, which extends not merely to single ports actually invested, but to whole countries with whom she might be at war; she has modified, restrained and enlarged the rights of neutrals according to her interest or caprice, while her courts of admiralty have carried her edicts into rigid execution; she has denied to neutral nations the incontestible right to re-export a belligerent power, the commodities which they have fairly purchased from a colony of the same power—and she has blockaded our ports and impressed seamen from our vessels within our jurisdiction. But atrocious as these acts may seem, they are insignificant when compared with the flagrant outrage lately committed on the frigate Chesapeake. The most humble sycophant of Great Britain has never yet asserted her right to search a ship of war belonging to a neutral nation. A vessel of this description is as sacred as the territory itself—its flag is a passport throughout the world—and an insult offered to it is a direct attack upon the sovereignty of the state to which it belongs. A conduct like this can neither be defended nor palliated—and it is necessary to meet the approaching conflict with the decision becoming freemen.
While we are sensible of the evils which must result from war, we are prepared to encounter them, in defence of our dearest rights. We are confident that but one sentiment pervades the American people—and that, however they may be divided as to points of domestic policy they are actuated by one soul in repelling the aggressions of a foreign power. It remains for the wisdom of the constituted authorities, to direct with efficacy the energies of the nation. It is our part to declare to you and to the world that we are prepared to support, with our lives and fortunes, the government of our choice against every power upon earth.
SPENCER ROANE, Chairman, THOMAS RITCHIE, Secretary.
FROM THE AURORA. THE CRISIS.
At no period since the establishment of our independence, have I witnessed the national resentment equal to what has been manifested by every class of citizens, on the news of the murder of our seamen on board the Chesapeake; nor has there been an occasion equally villainous since that period to justify such loud expressions of public indignation.
In this, as in all free governments, there are local attachments to political men, and some difference of opinion as to political measures; but on the present occasion, with the exception of a few tory characters, there is but one sentiment and one voice.
The people of America are for peace; because happy in our government, and the native felicities of our country, we have no inducements to go to war. Liberty, plenty, and extensive territory are the portion of Americans, and none of these do we wish to increase by the hazard of war. Impressed with these sentiments, we have gone great lengths to preserve peace with the European nations. We appeal to a candid world, and even to the people of England themselves, whether we have not given the most ample evidence of a pacific disposition, and have preferred the most honorable and strict neutrality ever since the present war in Europe. England has not ceased to oppress our commerce and insult our national dignity, but it was reserved for the captain of the Leopard to consummate the baseness of his nation, by firing on one of our national ships in the time of peace, and when unprepared to fight, in killing and wounding our citizens, who are in the daily habit of giving these ungrateful people every comfort our shores afford. There is a point, beyond which patience cannot be exerted, nor forbearance extended. At that period, fellow citizens, we have now arrived. At a time when every bosom swells with indignation, it is natural enough to ask, WHAT CAN BE DONE?
The sentiments I express will not be considered as dictating to the government, than whom no man loves and respects more than myself. They are reflections that naturally rise out of the subject under consideration. On this subject then I say, we appeal to Heaven for the justice of our cause and the wrongs we have received. We must confide in the wisdom and justice of Jefferson and his worthy associates: We must be prepared and determined to support them in any and every measure they may pursue for the honor and happiness of our country. If impertinence should enquire—what can government do? To such I would answer, they can do much. We cannot fight them by sea, nor do we wish to do it if we possessed the means. We possess, however, more effectual means of punishing these tyrants.
We can lay an embargo. We can enforce and extend the non-importation act to every article of British produce and manufactures. We can suspend the payment of British commercial debts. We can seize the stock held by British subjects in our banks and funds. We can, and I hope will, at all events, pass a law to prevent British merchants and aliens from transacting business in this country other than by the agency of American citizens. We can starve and ruin by a suspension of intercourse, the British West Indies. We can create bankruptcy and ruin among the British merchants. We can derange and ruin their manufactures. We can reduce the British revenue 14 millions of dollars annually, by depriving them of an extravagant convoy duty. We can make the British people know that all the miseries they may feel in consequence of a suspension of intercourse with us, is to be attributed to the wicked and impolitic conduct of their own ministry. All this, and much more our government can do by the scratch of a pen—by renouncing all intercourse with a government who has shown to the world they are totally unworthy of our confidence and connection. But should any of all those measures fail to restore the British ministry to a sense of justice, and war must be the ultimate resort, we with them to know that America can be to Britain one of her most formidable foes. We have wealth. We have courage and they know it. We have experience. We have a powerful population, who when they fight do so for themselves and not for a master. We can with ease deprive them of the Canadas and Nova Scotia and deliver that people from a galling yoke which they are now willing and only want an opportunity to throw off. We can expel them from the continent of America. We can harry their West India commerce by a chain of privateers from the Gulf of St. Laurence to that of Mexico. These, my fellow citizens, are some of the powers the God of nations and of nature has possessed you of; and thus can you avenge yourself on a nation already given up by the God of Providence to judicial blindness, to work their own destruction with grediness. But let me not say any thing to fan the flame which now burns in your manly breasts—rather would I recommend a patient waiting for the measures of that man, who has never disappointed the just expectations of his country.
FRANKLIN.
Toasts & Sentiments
Selected from various celebrations in different parts of the United States, on the 4th inst.
The President of the United States; the friend of liberty and his country; may he long live to enjoy the gratitude of a free and happy nation. We admire his virtues, we venerate his patriotism, we will support his administration with our lives, our property and our sacred honor.
The American Constitution—"the world's best hope"—may its enemies have a speedy passage to where they can enjoy the blessings of the most "stupendous fabric of human invention."
The Charter of our Independence; The Eagle this day proclaims that the blot of the Leopard upon it, shall be expiated by the remorse or blood of the Lion.
The Men of '76; they merit our imitation, as they do our eternal gratitude; when their example ceases to influence our country, may it become a haunt for tygers, rather than the den of slaves.
The Army of the United States—The defenders of a free soil; nerve to the arm, fortitude to the heart, and triumph to the soul when struggling for the Rights of Man.
A well organized militia; may their example in America, shew to the world that the power, the happiness, and the duration of a free people, depend on their exertions.
Great Britain; "The voice of our brother's blood crieth from the ground"—May that powerful appeal to justice and vengeance not be disregarded by any true American, and we shall again teach those robbers (like their countrymen Burgoyne and Cornwallis) to march to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
The royal affluence of Britain, Whitty and Humphreys—worthy servants of a worthy master; may the gallows prove their end, and the execration of a free people their epitaph.
The union of all honest men; "Burr, Dayton, Blannerhasset, and their associates, choose spirits! ! ! may their present situation teach those who are above the "dull perils of civil life," that a republican government possesses energy enough to protect the people against the machinations of traitors and apostates.
The memory of our gallant tars lately sacrificed on board the frigate Chesapeake, by the treacherous, cowardly, and sanguinary ruffians of Britain; when the executive gives the signal we shall be found at our posts ready to avenge their murder.
May the heart never beat nor the soul never feel, who would not remember the murder of our citizens on board the Chesapeake.
The manufacturers of the United States, we have improved beyond our most sanguine expectation, we will show the haughty Britons that Americans can do better without their cloth than they can without our flour.
The Fair Daughters of Columbia; May the Wheel and the Spindle be so diligently employed by their hands, as to render Foreign Manufactures unnecessary.
LAW; written and plain rules for free men, common sense and common honesty to interpret them, and the knife to the root of that hideous exercise called common law, the opinions of a British judge, servilely adopted by an American bench.
The Judiciary of the United States; May its honor be restored, its independence made evident, and its chief judge be no more found a companion of traitors.
General JAMES WILKINSON, whose patriotism, firmness and vigilance in exposing and defeating the late treasonable projects of Aaron Burr, and thereby saving Louisiana from all the horrors of insurrection, entitle him to the most acceptable reward of a soldier, the approbation and gratitude of his country.
Burr and his co-adjutors in treason; Whose villainous attempt was to annihilate our liberty. May they by justice receive the merit of their deeds.
The Grand Juries lately empaneled at Richmond to indict the traitors of their country; may their zeal and patriotism in the cause of liberty, secure them a crown of immortal glory, and the fruits of their labour be a death wound to all conspirators.
Domestic traitors who would war for power and for gold—may their necks be inscribed with a collar of hemp and a speedy end to their existence.
Perpetual amity between the United States and those nations who, in the dark hour of adversity, generously stretched their hands to free us from the tyranny of Britain.
The President of the United States; the immortal penman of our Declaration of Independence—While republics have an existence, science a votary, or freedom a friend, the name of JEFFERSON, will claim the love and admiration of the world.
The Governor of New-Hampshire; "Well done thou good and faithful servant."
Farmers & Mechanics; the real support of our nation—may they duly consider that they, above all men, have nothing to gain, but every thing to lose, by a departure from Republican principles.
Republicanisim; may its confines be the inhabited globe, and its continuance till day and night shall be no more.
Quidism; conceived in sin, brought forth in iniquity, and nursed by Federalism; may it meet the execration of every real Patriot.
Quids & Federalists; They are like the troubled tea that cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Quidism, Burrism and Toryism, distinguished indeed by but slight shades of difference; may their corrupt and treacherous conduct meet the universal contempt and abhorrence of every true friend to the liberties and independence of our happy country.
Tertium Quid & Third party men; may the veil of hypocrisy be torn from those sons of apostasy.
The leaders of Federalism; Let them beware of kindling the fire of discord, lest they perish in its flame.
The memory of our worthy but unfortunate brother, CHARLES AUSTIN—may his shade haunt the sleeping hours of the guilty and cowardly murderer, until not only his arm, but his every limb, "Jorink palfied from their sockets."
THE AMERICAN FAIR; May they rigidly adhere to a non-intercourse with the enemies of their country.
A hunting shirt and tow trowlers, with honor, are infinitely preferable to broadcloth and cambric, in disgrace. May Congress duly appreciate this maxim, and not permit the forsook interest of a few merchants, to defeat the passage of an unqualified non importation act (our only sure warfare) when necessary.
"Politics for Farmers and Mechanics"—more valuable to the union than the mines of Peru; the esteem of every honest friend to the country, the Author's best reward.

NORFOLK, JULY 4, 1807.
This day the following letter was received by Richard E. Lee, Esq. Mayor of this Borough, from Commodore Douglas.
His Majesty's Ship Bellona, Hampton Roads July 3, 1807.
SIR, I beg leave to represent to you that having observed in the Newspapers a resolution made by a committee on the 29th ult. prohibiting any communication between His B. M's. Consul at Norfolk, and his ships lying at anchor in Lynnhaven-Bay; and this being a measure extremely hostile, not only in depriving the British Consul from discharging the duties of his office, but at the same time preventing me from obtaining that information so absolutely necessary for his Majesty's service. I am, therefore, determined, if this infringement is not immediately annulled, to prohibit every vessel bound either in or out of Norfolk, to proceed to their destination, until I know the pleasure of my government, or the commander in chief on this station. You must be perfectly aware that the British flag never has, nor never will be insulted with impunity. You must also be aware that it has been, and is still in my power to obstruct the whole trade of the Chesapeake, since the late circumstance, which I desired from, trusting that general unanimity would be restored. Respecting the circumstance of the defectors, lately apprehended from the United States frigate Chesapeake, in my opinion, [that] must be decided between the two governments alone. It therefore, rests with the inhabitants of Norfolk, either to engage in a war or remain on terms of peace.
Agreeable to my intentions, I have proceeded to Hampton Roads with the squadron under my command, to await your answer, which I trust you will favor me with, without delay.
I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient humble servant, J. E. DOUGLAS.
P. S. I enclose you two letters, directed to the British Consul at Norfolk, which you will be pleased to forward him. J. E. D.
To Richard E. Lee, Esq. Mayor of Norfolk, Virginia.
To which the Mayor returned the following ANSWER. Norfolk, July 4, 1807.
SIR, I have received your menacing letter of yesterday. The day on which this answer is written, ought of itself to prove to the subjects of your sovereignty, that the American people are not to be intimidated by menace, or induced to adopt any measures, except by a sense of their perfect propriety. Seduced by the false shew of security, they may be sometimes surprised and slaughtered, while unprepared to resist a supposed friend—That delusive security is now, however, passed forever. The late occurrence has taught us to confide our safety no longer to any thing but our own force. We do not seek hostility, nor shall we avoid it. We are prepared for the worst you may attempt, and will do whatever shall be judged proper to repel force, whensoever your efforts shall render any act of ours necessary. Thus much for the threats of your letter, which can be considered in no other light than as addressed to the supposed fears of our citizens.
In answer to that part of it which is particularly addressed to me, as the first Judicial officer of this borough, I have but to say, that you must be aware, that the judiciary of no country possesses any other powers than those conferred upon it by the law.
The same channel through which you have derived the intelligence stated by yourself, must have also announced to you, that the act of which you complain, is an act of individuals, and not of the government. If this act be wrong and illegal, the judiciary of this country, whenever the case is properly brought before it, will take care to do its duty. At present it hath no judicial information of any outrage on the laws, and therefore will not act.
If you, Sir, please to consider this act of individuals as a measure "extremely hostile," and shall commence hostility without waiting the decision of our two governments, altho' you yourself acknowledge that it properly belongs to them alone to decide, the inhabitants of Norfolk will conform to your example, and protect themselves against any lawless aggression which may be made upon their persons or property; they therefore leave it with you "either to engage in a war, or to remain on terms of peace," until the pleasure of our respective governments shall be known.
Your letters directed to the British Consul at this place, have been forwarded to him. I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant, RICHARD E. LEE, Mayor. To John E. Douglas, Esq. commanding his Britannic Majesty's ship in Hampton Roads.
VIRGINIA. PETERSBURG, JULY 2.
Retort Valiant!—We copy the following particulars from the Intelligence of Tuesday—this unexpected retaliation gave great satisfaction to the citizens of Petersburg, and every countenance was marked on the occasion, with the strongest demonstration of joy.
Captain Briggs, arrived at City Point, has just favored us with the following account of the capture and re-capture of his vessel, which we hasten to lay before our readers. In times like the present, information of this nature will afford to every American some little gratification.
The Schooner Enterprise, captain John Briggs, failed from Porto Rico, bound for Baltimore, on the 7th of this month, loaded with coffee, sugar, hides, &c. On the 9th, in the afternoon was brought to by the British frigate Dædalus, Capt. Warren, who sent on board his first lieutenant to examine captain B's papers. After examination, the lieutenant declared he should send the vessel to Jamaica as a lawful prize—he then took all captain B's papers, except the register which he left through mistake, as also the mate and one man—put on board a prize-master and four men, with orders to the prize master to keep in company with the frigate, but if any accident should happen, to proceed to the Island of Mona. The Schooner kept in company for 2 days; and on the 3d night was retaken by Capt. Briggs, with the assistance of the two men. After securing the prize master and men, captain B bore away for Baltimore; but when off Cape Henry, perceiving several British men of war, and apprehensive of being molested, changed his destination, and arrived at City Point on Saturday last. The third day after re-taking the vessel, the British lieutenant (prize master) was put on board an American Schooner from Charleston, bound to Jamaica; the men would also have been put on board, but the captain of the Schooner refused to take them—The four British seamen are now in the Enterprise at City Point; and we hope will be retained until those taken from the Chesapeake are restored to the American government.
The Dædalus, at the time of the capture of captain Briggs' vessel had in possession the Schooner Betty, Capt. Hughes, from Philadelphia, bound for St. Jago de Cuba, with a valuable cargo.
WASHINGTON CITY, JULY 8.
A Pilot Boat yesterday arrived with an express to the Secretary of the Navy, from Capt. Decatur, communicating the following important intelligence:
On the afternoon of the 3d inst. the four British ships of war came into Hampton Roads, and occupied a station between Hampton and Norfolk. Tenders were sent to leave the frigates, and to ascertain the foundations beyond the narrows, in the direction of Norfolk.
This, with other circumstances, led Capt. Decatur to believe that their object was to take the Chesapeake and a French frigate lying at Norfolk, if not to threaten the town. It is represented that the depth of water is sufficient to allow the passage of three of the British ships through the narrows.
On the succeeding morning a private vessel passing from Norfolk to Hampton was stopped by the British ships, and a demand made to carry a letter back to Norfolk. This the captain at first refused, but on the British commander threatening to sink him in case of non-compliance, he agreed to take the letter. The letter was addressed to the people of Norfolk, and declared that unless they rescinded their resolutions, there should be a rigorous blockade, by which the entrance or departure of all vessels would be prohibited.
So impressed was Capt. Decatur with its being the object of the British to take the Chesapeake, that he had his men at quarters during the whole of the night of the 3d inst. The four gun boats stated to be in readiness at Norfolk had not sailed for Hampton, Capt. Decatur having judged it advisable to keep them for the defence of the Chesapeake, with which vessel the French frigate was ready to co-operate. Four other gun boats in the neighborhood of Norfolk are getting ready.
The express left Norfolk on the 4th late in the day. After the boat had passed the frigates, which was effected with so much success as altogether to escape their notice, the commander saw a boat passing from Hampton towards Norfolk, hailed by the British; and afterwards return back towards Hampton. From this it is inferred that the blockade was then in actual force.
Here then is a state of things well calculated to excite the highest solicitude. We shall seize the earliest moment to communicate to the public whatever shall follow.
JULY, 10—A communication, we learn, has been made to the President of the U. S. by the Governor of Virginia, in which the latter states that he had convened the executive council of that state, who, viewing the outrages committed by the British in the nature of an invasion, had ordered out the militia, who would be immediately stationed at the points most exposed to outrage and insult, with instructions to repel them.
We understand that the President, under a corresponding impression, had previously written the Governor of Virginia, submitting the exercise of the power (thus actually enforced) to his discretion.
Before, we beheld the people and the general government taking the same measures at the same time; we again behold the no less pleasing spectacle of a perfect correspondence between the measures of the general government and that of an important state.
[Nat. Intel.]
In the course of a very short time between sixty and eighty gun boats, fully equipped, will be stationed at the most exposed points of the United States, to repel any aggression that may be offered.
[Ibid.]
The Norfolk Ledger of the 8th inst. is received. It contains a letter from the bearer of the mayor of Norfolk's letter to Com. Douglas, stating the particulars of the interview. The following reply of the commander to the mayor is rather more pacific than his first letter. So much for the effects of a noble and independent spirit.
[Puff.]
His Majesty's ship Bellona, Hampton Roads, 6th July, 1807.
SIR, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th inst. in answer to mine of the preceding day, requesting that the British Consul might be restored to his powers.
As every circumstance relative to the above communication was so fully discussed in presence of the gentlemen deputed by the magistracy of Norfolk, as bearers of your dispatch, I have only in addition to remark, that as far as I am individually concerned, every exertion shall be used that can, consistent with the honor and dignity of the British flag, tend to an amicable termination.
I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient humble servant, J. E. DOUGLAS. To Richard E. Lee, Esq. Mayor of the borough of Norfolk, Virginia.

Foreign Intelligence.
By an arrival at Salem, from Bordeaux, French dates to the 26th May.
SEVENTY-THIRD BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
ELBING, MAY 8. The Persian Ambassador has taken leave. He brought rich presents to the Emperor from his master, and has received in turn the portrait of the Emperor, set in precious stones. He goes directly for Persia. He is a person of great consideration in his own country, and a man of understanding and discernment. His return to his country was necessary. It has been agreed that hereafter there shall be a numerous legation of Persians at Paris, and of the French at Teheran. The Emperor has been at Elbing, and reviewed from 18 to 20 thousand cavalry, which are stationed in the neighborhood of this city and in the island of Nogat, a country much resembling Holland. The Grand Duke of Berg commanded. The Emperor never saw his cavalry in better order.
The Journal of the siege of Dantzig informs, that the French were lodged in the covert way, that the fires were silenced, and that this successful operation was directed by Gen Drouet, and executed by Col. Aime, Chief of the Arnaud battalion, and by Capt. Ayy. By this operation the French have gained an Island defended by a thousand Russians, and with five redoubts supplied with artillery. And what is very important for the siege, all the artillery may be turned against the city.
The Russian guards have been surprised and 400 were killed with bayonet, before they could defend themselves, and 600 have been made prisoners. This expedition, which was on the night of the 6th and 7th or May, was chiefly by troops of Paris, who have covered themselves with glory.
The season becomes more mild, the roads are excellent, the buds appear on the trees, grass begins to cover the fields, but it will be a month before they can furnish supply for the cavalry.
The Emperor has established at Magdeburg, under the orders of Marshal Brune, a corps of observation, which will consist of nearly 80,000 men, half French and half from Holland and the confederacy of the Rhine. The troops from Holland are 20,000. The French division Moliter and Boudet which makes part of this corps of observation will be at Magdeburg on 15th May. So we are prepared to receive the English expedition at whatever point it shall appear. It is certain that it may embark, but not that it will return.
CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 11. The English and Russian Fleet have lately detained a rich ship from Trieste, and another under the Austrian flag, bound from Smyrna to this city. After having been detained a few days, they were released and have reached this port.
The Porte has again sent a plenipotentiary into Servia, accompanied with a French agent, to make his last attempt to recall the Servians to their obedience.
COPENHAGEN, MAY 6. The Danish vessels left the mouth of the Vistula on the 1st of May. The French batteries did terrible execution in Dantzig. The inhabitants were not able to extinguish the fires as they were kindled in different parts of the city. Such as were killed by the bombs, lay unburied in the streets. The magistrates had interceded with Gen. Kalckreuth to surrender, but he alleges that he gave his word to the King of Prussia not to capitulate but at the breach. The garrison is reduced from 25 to 22 thousand, and provisions begin to fail.
HAMBURG, MAY 12. The Minister of Foreign relations of France has had a conference with the Emperor of Russia near Braunshurg. The headquarters of the Emperor Alexander and of the King of Prussia are at Heilberg. The armies have not changed positions there these two months, but they have been considerably reinforced; the season and roads have entirely prevented any military operations. The Russians made an attack by sea upon Elbing, in order to relieve Dantzig, but were repulsed, so that the surrender of Dantzig is expected daily.
Letters from Konigsberg say, that Prussian troops had arrived under Gen. Blucher and Tauenzien. That at Strausberg they had received 2000 Dacianians. By the last letters from Memel, the corps which the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia commanded, was composed of 32 battalions and 27 squadrons, making in all 25 thousand men, with 97 pieces of cannon. The French army expected Gen. Berg, with 13 battalions. The army of reserve was 54 battalions strong, and 30 squadrons would arrive in the course of the month at the place of their destination.
NUREMBERG, MAY 8. We are informed that the Russians have entirely failed in their attempt upon Candia. They were repulsed with great loss.
FRANKFORT, MAY 14. By letters from Hamburg, we learn that the King of Sweden is about to negotiate with France for a separate peace. One of their most able Generals, Count de Wreden, is to be sent into Pomerania, to meet a French Plenipotentiary, and peace between these two powers is considered as very near.
MAY 15. The Russian Squadron under Vice Admiral Siniavin, blockades the Dardanelles. The Russians have attempted the Castle of the Isle of Tenedos, without success. As soon as the works are finished which command the Dardanelles, the Turks promise to open their ports to Neutrals, and permit them to pass into the Black Sea.
FROM ST. DOMINGO. There are accounts from Cape-Francois to the 2d July. They state that Christophe after having taken Gonaives had completely triumphed over Petion; and held the northern department to Port-au-Prince. He had abolished the duty on coffee, sugar and cotton, and allowed the planters to sell to whom they pleased. He has denounced the conduct of captain Lewis, and Messrs. Kane and Windior, who are with Petion.
His Britannic Majesty's frigate Pique, was lately taken by a French privateer. It is asserted, in a New-England paper, that the privateermen cut off the English sailors' ears, and placed them in their hats as emblems.
Portsmouth, TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1807.
THE Law of the United States, authorizing the President to detach One Hundred Thousand "minute men," officers included, passed April 18, 1806. The apportionments on the States are agreeable to the last returns. Volunteer corps are to be admitted as part of the contingents. The militia thus detached are to be officered out of the present militia officers, or others, as the several Governors may think proper. The General Officers are to be appointed by the President. The troops are to serve six months after arriving at their place of rendezvous; and to receive United States pay, &c. Two millions of dollars are appropriated to the payment, &c. of these troops. This act expires in April next. [Continued.]
If the evil genius of Britain shall urge the squadron in Hampton Roads to attempt the destruction of Norfolk, we promise them a warm reception. The whole country is alive to their situation; they know themselves to be the depositary of the Nation's Honor and its Courage, and they will prove themselves worthy of so precious a deposit. The eyes of their country is on them, and their heart's best wishes are with them. Several batteries are constructed and many cannon mounted. Thousands of muskets and rifles line the shores. Eight gun-boats are said to be in complete readiness, and a French frigate and the Chesapeake are between the squadron and Norfolk. That the French will fight with gallant and determined spirits none can doubt. We feel that we are writing solemn truths when we affirm that every man on board the Chesapeake burns for the contest, and will fight with a godlike heroism. Every man of them is a Cincinnatus self-devoted for his country. May the God of our Fathers give the Victory to their sons, and avenge the innocent blood which has been shed by the disturber of the world's peace. [Philadelphia Press.]
Extract of a letter from the American Consul in Leghorn.
"I am in hourly expectation that the vessels arrested by the French Privateers will be liberated and that similar evils will not again be renewed; and I ground this belief on the letter which I have received from Jno. Armstrong at Paris, a copy of which I now enclose to you."
(COPY.) PARIS, MARCH 10. SIR—I have received the several letters you have done me the honor to write me, in relation to certain American vessels detained at Leghorn, and captured off that port. These captures appear to have been made under a misapprehension of the true meaning of the Imperial decree, of the 21st of November last, which the Government assures me was not intended to alter in any way the commercial relations of France and the United States, as regulated by their treaty of 1800. A decision of the Court of Prizes which I expect every moment, and which cannot but confirm itself to these assurances will not only remedy the evils that have happened but prevent the occurrence of others of a similar character. I am, &c. (Signed) JOHN ARMSTRONG. Appleton, Esq. Consul of the United States of America, at Leghorn.
COLUMBIA. GEORGETOWN, JULY 11. Several of the uniform companies of the district have voluntarily tendered their services to the President of the United States: To a letter which made one of the tenders the President returned the following answer:— To Capt. William Richardson, and the Company of Richmond Light Infantry Blues. The offer of your services, in support of the rights of your country, merits and meets the highest praise; and whenever the moment arrives in which these rights must appeal to the public arm for support, the spirit from which your offer flows, that which animates our nation, will be their sufficient safeguard.
To the Legislature will be rendered a faithful account of the events which have so justly excited the sensibilities of our country; of the measures taken to obtain reparation, and of their result; and to their wisdom will belong the course to be ultimately pursued. In the mean time it is our duty to pursue that prescribed by the existing laws; towards which, should your services be requisite, this offer of them will be remembered. I tender you, for your country, the thanks you so justly deserve. TH: JEFFERSON. July 8, 1807.
Capt Maxwell, arrived here on Monday last in the Schooner Diana, Talbot, in 9 days from Havana. The day before he failed a vessel arrived at that place in 6 days from New-Orleans, a passenger in which informed Mr M. that a duel had been fought between Governor Claiborne and Mr. Clark, the representative in Congress for that district. The challenge was given by governor Claiborne, and the duel fought about 75 miles within the Spanish territory. Governor C. was wounded dangerously immediately under the right hip. The informant saw governor C. brought into New Orleans two days before he left that city; from the wound, and pain occasioned by travelling, serious apprehensions were entertained for the life of the Governor. [Philadelphia paper.]

ACCIDENTS.
On Saturday morning two young men, (one an apprentice to Mr. Vanholl, Hatter, and the other a journeyman Taylor,) who were on guard the preceding night, on being dismissed and on their way home, vied with each other which should go through the manual exercise with the greatest precision, when coming to the word fire, and forgetting their guns were loaded with ball cartridge, they both discharged at the same moment—The Hatter instantly fell, the ball having perforated his body. He lived only a few minutes. [Norfolk paper.]
On Tuesday last, the frame of a house belonging to Maj. CLAP, of Woburn, was raised, and when nearly completed, the whole fell, and killed two persons immediately on the spot—one died the night following; sixteen were wounded, some it is feared, mortally. The persons killed were Messrs. Samuel Wright, Joshua Richardson, and John Lyman. [Chron.]
Disastrous Shipwreck.
On Sunday night last, between the hours of 11 and 12 the Schr. Charles, Capt. Adams of Portland, with 23 persons on board and a valuable cargo, in her passage from Boston to Portland was run on shore on a point protruding from Richmond Island about two leagues westward of Portland light, and immediately bilged. Three of the persons Mr. Sidney Thaxter, Mr. Cook and Mr. Monie swam to land and were preferred. Seventeen of the number were washed overboard, or perished clinging to the wreck, which was drenched by every billow. Then was the child torn from its mother's arms, and the husband widowed of his love. In vain were the efforts of a friend, to preserve a friend. The screams of terror, and the cries of despair were unavailing. There was none to save—The roar of the waves drowned the moan of distress; and it was heard no more. In the pride of health, in the glow of expectation, with the present prospect of rejoicing with friends; Death arrested their course, and added their names to the register of mortality. May the greeting of angels welcome them to that blessed haven, which is vexed not by storms, nor troubled with disasters, and their souls be harboured in peace.
Capt. Adams and wife, Mrs. Hayden and child wife of Josiah Hayden, Mrs. Mary Stonehouse of Boston, Mrs. Richard two children and sister, Mrs. White, a young Lady of Freeport, and a man names unknown, Mr. Tandy, Mr. Jenks, Mr. Sargent, a boy and the cook a blackman were lost.
Messrs. Williams, Thaxter, Monie, Cook Richard and Pote, escaped the destruction. The three last were taken from the wreck, on the following morning exhausted with fatigue, and almost disabled with many bruises. The fragments of the vessel, the scattered remains of the cargo and the lifeless bodies of the deceased, entangled in the shrouds, or dashed among the rocks, formed a dreadful scene of desolation, a spectacle of horror shocking to humanity.
The bodies of captain Adams, Mrs. White, and Mrs. Hayden, were recovered from the waves on the following day, and were interred on Tuesday afternoon. The corpses were carried to the meeting house, and a funeral discourse was pronounced by the Rev'd Elijah Kellogg, on the melancholy occasion. Mrs. Stonehouse, Mr. Tandy, a child of Mr. Richards's, and a child of Mr. Hayden's, have since been found. [Portland paper of July 16.]

THESE are to certify that my wife Elizabeth (formerly the Widow Wild) too wild to be secured by any compass, but one of her own making; and as she has the devil for her pilot, she has altered her course and steered away from me, so that I will pay no debt of her contracting after this date.

THE PROGRESS OF REPORT.
REPORT is first, a pigmy small, That shrewdly cautious, dares but crawl, She whispers this, hints that, looks fly, Sneaks on, and squints, and learns to lie;
THE force of habit and the extreme danger of fixing any bad habit, particularly that of drunkenness, may be aptly illustrated by moralizing the following piece of natural history.
"On the coast of Norway is a dreadful whirlpool called by the natives, Maelfstrom, which signifies the naval of the sea. The body of the waters which form this whirlpool is extended in a circle above thirteen miles in circumference. In the midst of this stands a rock, against which the tide, in its ebb, is dashed with inconceivable fury;
"No skill in the mariner, nor strength of rowing, can work an escape. The sailor at the helm finds the ship at first go in a current opposite to his intentions; his vessel's motion, though slow in the beginning, becomes every moment more rapid;
Celebration of American Independence at STRATHAM, N. H.
At half past ten o'clock on the 4th of July inst. a respectable number of the citizens of Stratham, met at Maj. Chase's, and after making choice of Simon Wiggin, Esq. president, Deacon Moses Clark, vice-president, and Mr. Levi Clark, clerk of the day, formed a procession and marched to the meeting house, where a patriotic discourse was delivered by the Rev. James Millimore;
1 The United Bank: stand, divided we are America; "United we stand, divided we are America;" Thomas Jefferson. 2 The memory of our beloved Washington: his life and virtues. 3 The State of New Hampshire: may the future be domestic concord, her eye directed to the public good. 4 Our Governor, JOHN LANGDON: Honor and esteem always attend the just. 5 The public debt: may it extend and influence the human family as the solar rays do the earth after a long winter. 6 Those who celebrate this day: may they remember the worthies who on this day in the year 1776, signed the declaration penned by our immortal first magistrate. 7 The decline of the National debt: Thanks to the third presidential administration in so far exerting its energies as to lessen the debt of gratitude of a free people by bonafide payments. 8 The Militia: may all citizens of proper age be soldiers for defence, not offence. 9 Our infant Navy: may it be sufficient to protect our own shores, not aggressors on the seas. 10 The naval commanders: may they act uprightly, not tamely submit to insults. 11 Agriculture & Manufactures: The most honorable and respectable vocation; supplying all necessaries of life. 12 Arts & Sciences: may their aim be the good of the universe. 13 The human race: may discord cease, harmony be restored, and each individual attempt good, not harm, to his fellow-creatures. 14 To the memory of the deceased Heroes who signified themselves in the revolutionary contest. 15 This day: may it be remembered for good to the latest posterity. 16 The American Fair: May they affectionately reward virtue.
It is worthy of attention how much ingenuity is displayed in bringing about that moral temperament which is necessary for the meridian of fashion. The rake, who is debauching innocence, squandering away property, and extending the influence of licentiousness to the utmost of his power, would (if fairly represented) excite spontaneous and universal abhorrence. But this would be extremely inconvenient; since raking, idleness & prodigality, make on half the business, and almost all the reputation of men of fashion. What then must be done? Some qualities of acknow-
ledged excellence must be associated with these vicious propensities, in order to prevent them from occasioning unmingled disgust. We may, I presume, refer it to the same policy, that, in dramas of the greatest popularity, the worthless libertine is represented as having to the bottom some of those properties which reflect most honor upon human nature;
The bankrupt Prince of Wales has lately had a service of plate, value one million dollars, thirty tons precious silver! enough to pay the salary of the President of the United States forty years—Surely England is a most stupendous model of federal republicanism.
