Politics for Farmers.—No. 2.
Having pointed out in the preceding number, the sources from which all the evil and the disgrace, the disquietude and the turbulence, the servility to foreign nations, and the asperity to our own, proceeds; its causes, and its purposes; we shall now descend to a more special and distinct application of the general principles.
If we have any thing to complain of for which we cannot obtain redress or restitution by negotiation from any foreign nation—we have means within ourselves that are precious, and the most effective for the ends for which civil society is instituted, that is the promotion of the happiness of the whole, or of a greater number. No man is so well able to know the blessings of freedom such as we enjoy as the farmer.
The farmers, and those who acquire support from labor, compose seventeen twentieths of our population—the will of the majority being the sovereign power, that policy which secures the happiness of that majority, must prevail—every other interest must be but subordinate to the promotion and security of that happiness.
But it is a fraction of the population, nay a decimal part of that fraction, which is clamorous for war and extravagance, and which encourages foreign influence and vilification of our government; it is the minority attempting to usurp the power of the majority, and to sacrifice the 17 parts to perhaps a tenth of the remaining three parts—take it this way—
The farming and industrious part, or 17-zoths is 5,100,000 The mercantile part, 3 zoths, 900,000 _____ 6,000,000
Of the 6,000,000, perhaps there is not more than a fiftieth, that is not as sincerely attached to the United States prosperity as the great majority; but it is the miserable fraction, of perhaps three or six thousand persons that disturb the nation and encourage the intrigues, and seek to provoke the hostility of foreign nations.
The happiness of the nation then is its policy, not the wishes of a vicious fraction of the population. To us the choice between an internal war and a total cessation of intercourse with any nation, would not occupy a moment's deliberation with any man of sense. Neither will the majority of the people who are the sovereigns of this country, ever consider upon a choice between the limitation of commerce and the preservation of peace and liberty and independence, if the question should arise.
With France we have no quarrel nor cause of complaint, unless such as is founded on the interruptions of a trade carried on illicitly to a revolted colony, in defiance of the law of nations and of our own laws.
With England we have had disputes with little intermission from the peace of 1783:—and although specious promises were held out to our ministers at London, in consequence of the non-importation law, we cannot conclude upon any certainty of a successful issue to the negotiation, unless the fate of the continent and the defeat of Burr's conspiracy, by teaching England that she is vulnerable and that her intrigues are eternally baffled, induces her to act at length with justice towards the only nation in the world which is not from necessity now in hostility against her.
The Spanish intrigues have been over-acted, and exploded—The Spanish calumniator is completely dub'd, he pended his infamous labors.
The British alone and their emissaries continue toasperify our government—and from them alone is there any injury or danger to be apprehended.
Did not the undeviating conduct of Britain for fifteen years, demonstrate her determination to destroy the happiness of the U. States, the assertion of her second Cobbett, Cullen of New-York, would be a convincing proof of it—we cannot lose sight of it.—That man has openly avowed, that had it not been for the battle of Austerlitz, Britain intended to have commenced hostility against this country—or rather in the mild language of British hypocrisy, "bold and resolute in the defence of Austria, Russia and Prussia, she was adopting towards the United States, principles unknown in the law of nations."—Strip this paragraph from the canting of British pomposity, and the plain English is—Britain intended to commence "war in disguise"—and the pamphlet of that name was the manifesto of stupendous piracy and tyranny.
The battle of Austerlitz prevented the principles of that manifesto from being acted upon—but we will go back, and endeavor to state the matter in as clear a manner as practicable.
We believe there is not an American who really thinks, leaving even the morality out of sight, that war would be advantageous to the United States, even with any nation.
Peace is the interest of the farmer, and of the reasonable merchant also. The language of the tories and British agents for fifteen years past, has been, go to war.
Why do they say so? War, they know would be embarrassing—it might lead to the ruin of our liberties—for that reason, they urge on war, even with any nation.
Do the British take our ships—go to war with Britain.
Do the French take our ships—go to war with France.
Do the Spaniards obstruct our navigation—go to war with Spain.
Go to war with the Barbary states. Go to war with the whole world. When you take our merchants individually, their advice is so various but comprehensive, that the United States would be at war with all the world if it were to be pursued—some one or the other has some fancied cause of aggression—some one or other would tilt it with the whole universe.
But from what cause do a great portion of those complaints even against Britain for the capture of vessels on the high seas originate?
Does it originate in the actual natural trade of the produce of the United States? No!
Are vessels laden with flour, or pork, or corn, or beef seized?—No!
Does Britain take vessels laden with cotton, or tobacco, or lumber?—No!
How many merchants are there whose cargoes to Europe, consist of coffee, or sugar, of the productions of other nations, that escape safe, and whose papers are regular?
Who are those vessels which are chiefly taken?
Why in perhaps six out of ten cases, those who carry false papers.
Mere adventurers, who come here like birds of passage during the commercial heat of war—chiefly British, and French, and Scotch speculators—who bring no affection, leave behind no gratitude, and carry away wealth, for which they repay our country with reproaches and slander.

Ask at our coffee houses, ask at our insurance offices.
If a merchant pays from 20 to 40 per cent. for the insurance of his risque , if an insurance officer accepts it, do not those men, in the very enormity of the premium, acknowledge a contraband trade?
If ever the fair trade of America was sacrificed, it was when by an ignominious treaty, Britain was suffered to capture American vessels, bound to France with provisions , for the French market.
The charge brought against the democracy is, that they are enemies to commerce .—The democracy unanimously raised their voice against that odious sacrifice of our own rights and shameful abandonment of the law of nations.
The democracy then, are the firm friends of all fair commerce.
That commerce we will advocate, against every nation, that dares to violate it.
Agriculture and commerce we hold to be inseparable.
But let us separate good from evil—let us let the fair trade on its right foundation; let us not involve it with the rash speculations of every adventurer who may be cast on our shores.
If we light a good Christmas fire on our hearths, to warm ourselves and friends; does it therefore follow that we should set our houses on fire?
Wine and whikey are good in their places, to cheer the " dull pursuits of civil life ," to gladden the heart of a friend; but if we intoxicate ourselves with it—is this the use, is this the way to make us comfortable?
Just so with commerce, keep it within its proper legitimate bounds; in the fair commerce of the productions of the American soil , or even the fair foreign commerce of our merchants, and no nation on earth will have a pretext to molest us.
Why are not the ships from China plundered by foreign cruisers?
Why, because there is no deception, the trade is fair.
And will American farmers ever consent to go to war, or to build navies, or to erect fortifications, at the call of those British adventurers.
Certainly not—in the productions of their farms, in their pork, beef, lumber, cotton and tobacco , they will never meet but with a comparatively trifling interruption, always inseparable from trading with the powers at war, of whatever nation.
A great part of the vessels, captured even by the British, are such as never entered the American ports , and from which the United States have not derived one cent of revenue.
And many of those who touch in ports of the United States, and enter their cargoes at the custom house, have the drawbacks allowed. But a small proportion of revenue is then derived from those—not worth the risque , and trouble, and expense, the government are involved in on their account.
Then why this bawling for a navy and extravagant fortifications?
Why, to answer the purposes of the government of Britain.
But federalists and Americans , join in the demand.
Agreed.—But if for mere political convenience they do give in to this silly clamor—is it therefore the more wise or necessary—Witness Louisiana .
Previous to the fair purchase of that country and which in the hands of Spain its lawful owners, the federalists , duly appreciated its value to the western states, they declared it was worth a war, and all its consequences, of 20,000 lives, 100,000,000 dollars—all this was advocated by the boldest and most eloquent federal orators—they thought it worth publishing a forged pamphlet to certify its value.
But the moment the present administration purchased it for 15,000,000, then that country was not of any importance, it was a lavish expenditure of money; and had the democrats been duped by clamor in this case would it have altered the real merits of the purchase?
Just so with the navy and fortifications, were congress to pay much attention to the New York petition or, to enter into their views, half the persons, who have signed that petition for fortifications and a navy, as in the Louisiana purchase, would be the first to upbraid congress and the administration with the expense; and the injudicious application of the money to dead stone walls.
And will congress not profit by this experience?
Who are many of the men who bawl the loudest for those measures, which are the prints which advocate them?
Why British and tories , many of whom would return to their native soil, was the U. States at war—men who are endeavoring to set the house in flames, and would be the first to run from the fire—and would rather aid the plunder than the extinguishment of the conflagration.
Will our farmers submit to their money being wasted for those spies and em- -illaries.
For the due and proper fortification of all our sea ports, where they are actually exposed to danger, we are equal advocates with any person—but no farther—we do not wish to see realized the romantic schemes of a duke of Richmond on this side of the water.
It has been the aim of the British gov-
ernment, and their consuls, to engage this nation in war with France—they have been hitherto defeated.
Britain, resolute and strong in the alliance of Austria, Prussia and Russia had it not been for the battle of Austerlitz , intended war against us.
Resolute in the alliance of Prussia and Russia, she would again have attempted it.
But the battle of Jena —has dissipated all these hopes.
And Britain will and must now sign a treaty with America, or lose our commerce.
A treaty which will be acknowledgment of her crimes —but an acknowledgment without contrition, and extracted only from her necessities, which she would be ready to violate the next hour, if in her power. America has now nothing to fear from Britain.
Foreign Intelligence.
FRENCH ARMY BULLETINS.
GRAND ARMY.—Bulletin No. 15.
WITTENBURG, Oct. 28.—Here is the intelligence we have collected concerning the causes of this strange war.
Gen. Smetau drew up a memorial to the King, representing that it was necessary to make war.—Gens. Buchel and Bucher subscribed to it. Prince Louis advocated it.
In short, the memoir, then supported, was presented to the King. The Queen undertook to dispose the mind of the King, and to make known to him what was thought of him. She reported to him that he was not thought brave; and that if he did not make war, it was because he was afraid of putting himself at the head of his army.—The King, really as brave as any Prussian Prince, gave way, without ceasing to preserve the opinion that he committed a great fault.
We should signalize the men who have not partaken of the illusions of the war partisans. These are the respectable Field Marshal Mollendorf and Gen. Kalkreuth.
The King of Prussia has had two horses shot under him, and received a musket ball in his sleeve. The Duke of Brunswick has had all the blame in this war. He has ill conceived, and ill directed, the movements of the army. He thought the Emperor was at Paris, when he found him on his flank; he thought to have the lead in the movements, and he found himself already turned.
As for the rest, on the morning of the battle of Jena, consternation was already among the Chiefs. They perceived that they were ill posted, and that they were going to play the last stake of the monarchy. They all said, "Well, we shall pay in person;" the common sentiment of men who preserve little hope.
Lord Morpeth, sent by the Court of London to buy the Prussian blood—a million really unworthy of a man like him—arrived, on the 11th, at Weimar, charged to make reducing offers, and to propose considerable subsidies. The horizon was already very cloudy; the Cabinet was not willing to see this Envoy; he was told, that perhaps there was little safety for his person, and they engaged him to return to Hamburg, there to wait the event. What would the Duchess of Devonshire have said, had she seen her kinsman, charged with spreading the flame of war, and coming to offer poisoned gold, obliged sadly to retrace his steps in so great haste? One cannot repress one's indignation to see England compromise the rank of respectable agents, and play a part so odious. We have, as yet, no news of a treaty between Prussia and Russia; and it is certain, that up to this day, no Russian has appeared in the Prussian territory. In other respects, the army desire much to see them; they will find another Austerlitz in Prussia.
There is at Leipzig such a quantity of English goods, that sixty millions have been offered to redeem them. It is asked what will England gain by all this? She might have recovered Hanover; kept the Cape of Good Hope; preferred Malta; made an honorable peace, and restored tranquility to the world. She was willing to excite Prussia against France—to provoke the Emperor and France. Well, she has conducted Prussia to her ruin, procured greater glory for the Emperor, and greater powers for France; and the time approaches when we may declare England in a state of Continental blockade. Is it then with blood that the English hoped to feed their commerce and re-animate their industry? Great mischiefs may come upon England: Europe will attribute them to the loss of that honest man and Minister, who wished to govern by great and liberal ideas, and whom the English People will one day deplore with tears of blood.
The French columns are already marching upon Potsdam and Berlin. Deputies from Potsdam are arrived to request protection.
The Imperial Head-Quarters are now at Wittenberg.
BULLETIN, No. 16.
The Duke of Brunswick has sent his Marshal of the Palace to the Emperor. This officer was entrusted with a letter, in which the Duke recommended his States to the protection of his Majesty. The Emperor said to him "If I were to demolish the city of Brunswick, and if I did not leave one stone upon another, what would your Prince say?—Does not the law of retaliation authorize me to do at Brunswick what he would have done at my capital? To threaten to destroy cities may be merely the act of madness; but to attempt to deprive a whole army of brave men of their honor—to propose to them to quit Germany at flatated marches, is what posterity would hardly credit. The Duke of Brunswick ought not to have committed such an outrage. Men who have grown grey under arms, should respect the honor of military men; it was not in the plains of Champagne that the General acquired the right to treat the French colors with such contempt. Such a summons dishonors the soldier who makes it. That dishonor does not belong to the
King of Prussia; it attaches to the Chief of his Military Council—to the General to whom in difficult circumstances, he had confided his affairs. It is the Duke of Brunswick alone whom France and Prussia can accuse of the war. The frenzy of which that old General sat the example, encouraged a set of turbulent young men, and hurried on the King contrary to his own disposition and conviction. Sir, tell the inhabitants of the country of Brunswick, that they will find the French generous enemies; that I wish to soften the rigors of war with regard to them, and that the inconvenience which the passage of troops may occasion, will be against my inclination. Tell Gen. Brunswick he shall be treated with all the attention due to a Prussian officer, but that I cannot recognize a sovereign in a Prussian General. If the House of Brunswick lose the sovereignty of its ancestors, it can only be ascribed to the author of two wars—who, in one, would have sapped the Great Capital to its foundation; and who, in the other, attempted to dishonour two hundred thousand brave men, who perhaps might be conquered, but who would never be surprised out of the path of honor, and glory. Much blood has been shed in a few days. Great disasters press upon the Prussian Monarchy. How lamentable is the man who, by a single word, might have prevented them, if, like Nestor, rising in the midst of the Councils, he had said, "Be silent, ye inconsiderate youth! Women, return to your spindles, and to the management of your domestic concerns! And you, Sire, believe the companion of the most illustrious of your predecessors; since the Emperor Napoleon does not wish for war, do not place him in the alternative of war or dishonor; do not engage yourself in a dangerous contest with an army that boasts of fifteen years spent in glorious labors, and accustomed to every sacrifice." Instead of holding this language, which agreed so well with the prudence of his years, and with the experience of so long a career, he has been the first to raise the cry of war; he has even been faithless to the ties of consanguinity, in aiming a son against a father; he has threatened to place his colours on the Palace of Sturgaard, and accompanying those proceedings with universal invectives against France; he was the declared author of that fanatic manifesto, which he has denied for these fourteen years, although he could not deny that he had given it the sanction of his signature."
"It has been remarked, that during the conversation, the Emperor, with that warmth with which he is often animated, often repeated, "to overturn and destroy the habitations of peaceable citizens, is a crime which can be repaired by time and expense; but to dishonour an army, to wish that it should fly from Germany before the Prussian Eagle, is a baseness that none but the person who advised it, could be capable of committing."
[TO BE CONTINUED.]
BERLIN, OCT. 27. Yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon issued the following Proclamation to his victorious army:—
PROCLAMATION:
SOLDIERS! You have justified my expectations and worthy answered the confidence of the French people.—You have supported privations and fatigues with as much courage as you have shown intrepidity and coolness in the midst of combats.—You are the worthy defenders of my honor and Crown and of the Great Nation; as long as you are animated with this spirit, nothing will be able to withstand you. The cavalry have vied with the infantry and artillery: I no longer know which part of the army to give the preference to. You are all good soldiers. These are the results of our labours.
One of the first military powers of Europe, who so lately dared to propose to us a shameful capitulation, is annihilated. The forest and defiles of Franconia, the Saale and the Elbe, which our fore-fathers would not have crossed in seven years, we have crossed in seven days, and fought in the interval four engagements and a great battle. We have preceded at Potsdam and Berlin the renown of our victories. We have made 60,000 prisoners, taken 65 stand of their colours, amongst which are those of the King of Prussia's guards, 600 pieces of cannon, three fortresses, and upwards of twenty Generals. Nevertheless, more than one half of you regret not to have fired a musket shot. All the provinces of the Prussian Monarchy, as far as the Oder, are in our power.
Soldiers, the Russians boast of coming to us.—We will march to meet them, and thus spare them half the road; they shall again find Austerlitz in the heart of Prussia . A nation which has so long forgotten the generosity we shewed it after that battle, in which its Emperor, Court and the wreck of its army were only indebted for their safety to the capitulation we granted them, is a nation which cannot successfully cope with us. Nevertheless, whilst we march to meet the Russians, new armies found in the interior of the Empire, come to take our place, in order to keep our conquests. My whole people have risen, indignant at the unworthy capitulation which the Prussian Ministers, in their delirium, proposed to us. Our roads and frontier towns, are full of conspirators, who burn to march in our footsteps. We will no longer be the sport of a treacherous Peace, and we will not lay down arms until we have obliged the English, those eternal enemies of our nation, to renounce the scheme of disturbing the Continent, and the tyranny of the Seas.
Soldiers, I cannot better express to you the sentiments I entertain for you, than by telling you that I bear in my heart the love you daily shew me.

National Legislature.
NINTH CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, JAN. 9.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the "bill to provide for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States." After a debate of some length, the committee of the whole rose and reported the bill as amended.
Mr. Early, from the committee of commerce and manufactures reported a "bill to continue in force for a further time, the act entitled, an act to fulfil the commercial intercourse between the U. States and certain parts of the Island of St. Domingo," which was read twice and referred to a committee of the whole on Wednesday.
MONDAY, JAN. 12.
The House resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill for repealing the duty upon salt, and continuing the Mediterranean fund for one year. Mr. Varum in the chair.—
Mr. Quincy moved to amend the first section in such manner as to substitute a partial for a total repeal, and at the same time to diminish the duties upon bohea and other black teas, and coffee.
This motion was supported by Mr. Quincy, and opposed by Messrs. J. Clay, Elliot, J. Randolph, Smilie, Bidwell, Findley and Sloan, and lost—Ayes 7.
In the House Mr. Dana, moved to strike out the third section, providing for a continuation of the Mediterranean fund for another year. The question was taken by Ayes and Noes—Ayes 21—Noes 104.
Mr. A. Williams moved to strike out the word "salt," in the first section, under the impression that in the very serious situation of the nation, in reference both to its external and internal concerns, it was improper to commence measures for the reduction of the revenue—Ayes 12—Noes 109.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed.
TUESDAY, JAN. 13.
The bill for repealing the acts imposing duties on salt and for continuing the Mediterranean fund was read the third time.
Messrs. J. Randolph, J. Clay, Varum and Bidwell advocated; and Mr. Quincy opposed the bill. Messrs. Broom and Dana declared themselves in favor of taking off the duties on salt, but against continuing the Mediterranean fund.
The bill passed by a great majority—with only five negatives.
The House took up the report of the committee of the whole on the bill providing for the punishment of certain crimes against the U. States.
The amendments proposed to the first section were agreed to.
The whole of the second section was struck out.
On agreeing to the new section, proposed by Mr. Bidwell, Mr. Elliot spoke at considerable length against it—when the House adjourned without deciding upon it.
The following resolution, which has been adopted by the House of Representatives of the U. States, and proposed by Mr. J. Randolph, produced considerable debate. Mr. R. took occasion to reflect upon the House for not adopting those warlike measures advocated by him at the last session of Congress. He was answered by the plain, but irresistible logic of Mr. Smilie and others.
Resolved, That the President of the U. S. be requested to furnish this house with any information in possession of the executive, excepting such as he may deem the public welfare may require not to be disclosed, touching any illegal combination of private individuals against the peace and safety of the union, or any military expedition planned by such individuals against any nation with whom the U. S. is at peace—Together with the measures the executive has taken or proposed to take to defeat the same.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
To the Senate, and House of Representatives, &c.
AGREABLE to the request of the House of Representatives, communicated in their resolution of the 16th inst. I proceed to state under the reserve therein expressed, information received touching an illegal combination of private individuals against the peace and safety of the union, and a military expedition planned by them against the territories of a power in amity with the U. States, with the measures I have pursued for suppressing the same.
I had, for some time, been in the constant expectation of receiving such further information as would have enabled me to lay before the legislature the termination, as well as the beginning and progress of this scene of depravity, so far as it has been acted on the Ohio and its waters. From this the state of safety of the lower country might have been estimated on probable grounds, and the delay was indulged the rather, because no circumstance had yet made it necessary to call in the aid of the legislative functions. Information now recently communicated, has brought us nearly to the period contemplated. The mass of what I have received in the course of these transactions is voluminous: but little has been given under the sanction of an oath, so as to constitute formal and legal evidence. It is chiefly in the form of letters, often containing such a mixture of rumours, conjectures and suspicions, as render it difficult to sift out the real facts, and unadvisable to hazard more than general outlines, strengthened by concurrent information, or the particular credibility of the relator. In this state of the evidence, delivered sometimes too under the restriction of private confidence, neither safety nor justice will permit the exposing names, except that of the principal actor, whose guilt is placed beyond question.
Some time in the latter part of September, I received intimations that designs were in agitation in the Western country, unlawful and unfriendly to the peace of the union; and that the prime mover in these was Aaron Burr, heretofore distinguished by the favor of his country. The grounds of these intimations being inconclusive, the objects uncertain, and the fidelity of that country
known to be firm, the only measure taken was to urge the informants to use their best endeavours to further insight into the designs and proceedings of the suspected persons, and to communicate them to me.
It was not till the latter part of October that the objects of the conspiracy began to be perceived, but still so blended and involved in mystery, that nothing distinct could be singled out for pursuit. In this state of uncertainty, as to the crime contemplated, the acts done, and the legal course to be pursued, I thought it best to send to the scene, where these things were principally in transaction, a person in whose integrity, understanding and discretion, entire confidence could be reposed, with instructions to investigate the plots going on, to enter into conference (for which he had sufficient credentials) with the governors, and all other officers, civil or military, and with their aid, to do on the spot whatever should be necessary to discover the designs of the conspirators, arrest their means, bring their persons to punishment, and to call out the force of the country to suppress any unlawful enterprise, in which it should be found they were engaged. By this time it was known that many boats were under preparation, stores of provisions collecting, and an unusual number of suspicious characters in motion on the Ohio, and its waters. Besides dispatching the confidential agent to that quarter, orders were at the same time sent to the governors of the Orleans and Mississippi territories, and to the commanders of the land and naval forces there, to be on their guard against surprise, and in constant readiness to resist any enterprise which might be attempted on the vessels, posts or other objects under their care: and on the 8th of November, instructions were forwarded to Gen. Wilkinson to hasten an accommodation with the Spanish commandant on the Sabine, and, as soon as that was effected, to fall back with his principal force to the hither bank of the Mississippi, for the defence of the interesting points on that river. By a letter received from that officer of the 25th of Nov. but dated Oct. 21st, we learnt that a confidential agent of Aaron Burr had been deputed to him with communications, partly written in cypher, and partly oral, explaining his designs, exaggerating his resources, and making such offers of emolument and command, to engage him and the army in his unlawful enterprise, as he had flattered himself would be successful.
This was the state of my informa-

tion of his proceedings about the last of November; at which time therefore it was first possible to take specific measures to meet them. The proclamation of November 27, two days after the receipt of general Wilkinson's information, was now issued. Orders were dispatched to every interesting point on the Ohio and Mississippi, from Pittsburg to New Orleans, for the employment of such force, either of the regulars or of the militia, and of such proceedings also of the civil authorities, as might enable them to seize on all boats and stores provided for the enterprise, to arrest the persons concerned, and to suppress effectually the further progress of the enterprise. A little before the receipt of these orders in the state of Ohio, our confidential agent, who had been diligently employed in investigating the conspiracy, had acquired sufficient information to open himself to the Governor of that state, and to apply for the immediate exertion of the authority and power of the state to crush the combination. Governor Tiffin and the legislature, with a promptitude, an energy and patriotic zeal, which entitle them to a distinguished place in the affection of their sister states, effected the seizure of all the boats, provisions and other preparations within their reach, and thus gave a first blow, materially disabling the enterprise in its outset.
On the whole the fugitives from the Ohio, with their associates from Cumberland, or any other place in that quarter, cannot threaten serious danger to the city of New Orleans.
By the same express of December 19, orders were sent to the Governors of Orleans and Mississippi, supplementary to those which had been given on the 25th of November, to hold the militia of their territories in readiness to co-operate for their defence with the regular troops and armed vessels then under command of Gen. Wilkinson. Great alarm indeed was excited at New Orleans by the exaggerated accounts of Mr. Burr, disseminated through his emissaries, of the armies and navies he was to assemble there. Gen. Wilkinson had arrived there himself on the 24th of November, and had immediately put into activity the resources of the place for the purpose of its defence, and on the 10th of December he was joined by his troops from the Sabine. Great zeal was shewn by the inhabitants generally; the merchants of the place readily agreeing to the most laudable exertions and sacrifices for manning the armed vessels with their seamen; and the other citizens manifesting unequivocal fidelity to the union, and a spirit of determined resistance to their expected assailants.
Surmises have been hazarded that this enterprise is to receive aid from certain foreign powers. But these surmises are without proof or probability. The wisdom of the measures sanctioned by Congress at its last session, has placed us in the paths of peace and justice with the only powers with whom we had any differences; and nothing has happened since, which makes it either their interest or ours to pursue another course. No change of measures has taken place on our part, none ought to take place at this time. With the one, friendly arrangement was proposed, and the law, deemed necessary on the failure of that, was suspended to give time for a fair trial of the issue. With the same power, friendly arrangement is now proceeding, under good expectations, and the same law, deemed necessary on failure of that,
is still suspended to give time for a fair trial of the issue. With the other negotiation was in like manner preferred, and provisional measures only taken to meet the event of rupture. While therefore we do not decline in the slightest degree from the course we then assumed, and are still pursuing, with mutual consent, to restore a good understanding, we are not to impute to them practices as irreconcilable to interest as to good faith, and changing necessarily the relations of peace and justice between us to those of war. These surmises are therefore to be imputed to the vauntings of the author of this enterprise, to multiply his partisans, by magnifying the belief of his prospects and support.
By letters from General Wilkinson of the 14th and 18th of December, which came to hand two days after the date of the Resolution of the House of Representatives, that is to say, on the morning of the 18th inst. I received the important affidavit, a copy of which I now communicate, with extracts of so much of the letters as comes within the scope of the resolution. By these it will be seen that of three of the principal emissaries of Mr. Burr, whom the general had caused to be apprehended, one had been liberated by Habeas Corpus, and two others, being those particularly employed in the endeavor to corrupt the general, and army of the U. S. have been embarked by him for ports in the Atlantic States, probably on the consideration that an impartial trial could not be expected during the present agitations of New Orleans, and that that city was not as yet a safe place of confinement. As soon as these persons shall arrive, they will be delivered to the custody of the law, and left to such course of trial, both as to place and process, as its functionaries may direct. The presence of the highest judicial authorities, to be assembled at this place within a few days, the means of pursuing a sounder course of proceedings here than elsewhere, and the aid of the Executive means, should the judges have occasion to use them, render it equally desirable for the criminal, as for the public, that, being already removed from the place where they were apprehended, the first regular arrest should take place here, and the course of proceedings receive here their proper direction.
TH: JEFFERSON. JAN. 28, 1807. Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1807. We have omitted various articles, that we might insert entire the important Message of the President, communicated to Congress on the 22d instant, developing BURR'S TREASON. It will, perhaps be perused with a deeper interest than any document ever before presented to the public. Indignation and abhorrence towards the traitors can only be exceeded by exultation at the issue—an issue, which entitles our republican system, and those who administer it, to a distinction that does not fade before the lustre of ancient times—Nat. Int.
From a person who came in the Lavater, arrived at Annapolis from New Orleans, we understand that a proclamation had been issued at that place by the constituted authorities, offering a reward for the apprehension of Col. Burr, or the communication of any intelligence relative to the conspiracy—the attack was expected to be made on New Orleans by Burr and his adherents on the 20th ult. instead of the 20th of December, as stated by an arrival at Charleston. Ogden and Alexander had been arrested, and were to be sent to Washington in the fchr. Brothers & Sisters, which would sail in a few days after the Lavater. Bollman and Swartwout, we understand, are prisoners in the marine barracks at Washington.
The late trial for "manslaughter" in Boston, shews, that we have one sort of justice for federalists in this State, and another sort for Republicans.—The murderer of an amiable and innocent youth stalks abroad in the streets, triumphs in his guilt, and laughs to scorn the upbraidings of conscience, whilst his supporters openly applaud the foul deed, and speak of it as a meritorious action. The fell assassin was a federalist,—the murderer and much lamented Austin, was a republican,—he had committed no crime, but the crime of being the son of a man who was a host against federalism, could not be forgiven.—His death is resolved on (if the enquiring jury are to be credited,) and behold the fatal pistol is taken from concealment, and he falls a victim to the love he bore the most revered parent. Alas! he is now in his cold and silent tomb, and cannot plead in his own defence. But the public sympathies plead for him, and they will plead on earth 'till the diabolical deed is punished in another and better world. Are the courts of justice shut to the sacred calls of justice? We almost dread to give the answer the heart would dictate and the pen freely write. But the fact is notorious, and whether recorded here or not, Austin was murdered, and the murderer is not punished. (Salem Register.)
Appointment by the Executive of this State.—The Hon. William K. Atkinson, Esq. of Dover, Attorney General of the State.—The Hon. Nahum Parker, Esq. Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for the county of Cheshire.

Physician heal thyself. A LATE advertisement of Dr. SHEPHERD'S books against E. Smith, concerning the end of the wicked, has appeared, beginning with these words "The good shepherd careth for the sheep." In answer to this is just published, the Sixth number of the CHRISTIAN'S MAGAZINE, by ELIAS SMITH, containing an history of the Clergy in the 16th century; the Resurrection; conversion of a negro woman; Practical Religion illustrated; Review of Mr. Collier's Missionary Sermon; Review of Dr. Shepherd's examination of E. Smith's account of original sin, Adam's death, and the end of the wicked; this review fills about one third of the magazine: it gives an account of the Northwood ordination, shews that the Dr. has published things contrary to the scriptures, and that according to his plan, what is called hell fire and brimstone and lake of fire, means God, his wrath and word. Also, a description of Ephesus, and Paul's preaching there; New England Fast and Thanksgiving days described; present time—and uncommon animals seen of late in a seaport town in New England.

TO THE PUBLIC.
THE PRESIDENT of the U. States, in his notes on Virginia, page 295, has made the following remarks; "REASON and free enquiry are the only effectual agents against error. Give a loose to them, they will support the true religion, by bringing every false one to their tribunal, to the test of their investigation. They are the natural enemies of error, and of error only. Had not free enquiry been indulged at the era of the reformation, the corruptions of christianity could not have been purged away. If it be restrained now, the present corruptions will be protected, and new ones encouraged." This truth ought to be received and encouraged. For this purpose there is Just PUBLISHED, and for sale by the author, and booksellers in this town, a new Volume, entitled, "THE AGE OF ENQUIRY. Christian's Pocket Companion, and Daily Assistant; calculated also for the benefit of the rising generation." By ELIAS SMITH.
