From the (Balt.) Federal Gazette.
Bold assertion without retraction, or the art of lying plumply and sticking to it stoutly, characterises the Aurora—Precipitate assertion and half-penitent retraction is the prominent characteristic of the National Intelligencer. This is all the difference we can perceive between them—But which of them comes nearest to the moral, political and philosophical standard of the great wire-worker of these puppets, a little time more will unfold. The particular assertion here alluded to, and which is retracted by Mr. Smith in the following manner in his last Intelligencer, was published before his excellency took his departure for Monticello; and the retraction as soon after his departure as conscience could throw off the shackles imposed by his presence.
“In a late number of the Connecticut Courant, several alledged misrepresentations and falsehoods are charged upon the editor of the National Intelligencer, for admitting into his paper a piece declaring the existence in this country, since the peace of 1783, of a monarchic faction, representing the federalists as having attempted to excite a civil war and thereby produce a dissolution of the union; and charging them with having openly boasted of soon having it in their power to vindicate the southern states, and of hoping to see re-acted in this devoted part of the union, by declaring freedom to the slaves, those scenes of blood and carnage which have taken place in St. Domingo.
“The charge is made in such language as to implicate the editor in all the demerit attached to these imputations. It may be proper to observe, that the piece was not written by him, and that although he is responsible for its contents as the printer, he is not responsible as its author. He does not hesitate to admit that the charge against the federalists of mediating an invasion of the southern states, and manumitting the slaves, is made in language too unqualified, and is not in his opinion just. He DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY SUCH ATROCIOUS PURPOSE DWELT IN THE BREAST OF ANY FEDERALIST. It could only have been that of a demon. At the same time, however, it must be recollected that in the future differences of the union, contemplated as possible, we have heard much of the irresistible strength of the legions of the east, and much of the weakness of the southern states; and it certainly has been insinuated that the latter contained the materials of a wide conflagration, which might easily be lit up.”
“That a monarchic faction, with views destructive of the liberties of their country, has existed in the United States since the peace, cannot, we believe, be invalidated by any declarations that may be made to the contrary.† The proposition for a frame of government, offered by Mr. Hamilton, in the convention, is an irrefragable proof of this fact, were others wanting.† And since that period the fact has been substantiated by a thousand proofs.‡ Most of the conspicuous federal prints have incessantly teemed with calumny against the principles of republicanism,|| and with vindications of those of monarchy.
* At what time were these insinuations made? If made at all, and we deny that they were, with the motives you suggest Mr. Smith, were they not during the reign of phrenzy, when the Richmond Examiner, the then head of the Virginia faction, was calling upon the yeomanry to arm themselves to oppose the government by arguments, as openly avowed, to be drawn from the bayonet alone?
† You say Mr. Smith that the existence of a monarchic faction cannot be denied. Of whom pray, does it consist?
Mr. Elliot as good authority as yourself, says it was composed of very few men. Indeed it could not be otherwise. And he further says that it consisted principally of some very aspiring republicans, so called. Now as many of the most aspiring republicans, the Randolphis, Livingstons, Eppeses, and several others, are at this moment on the ladder, and still mounting, may we not reasonably infer that some of these characters, compose the “monarchial faction”?
‡ Neither the writings nor actions of gen. Hamilton shew that he was particularly attached to any one of the numerous drafts of a constitution that were suggested by the different members of the convention. The work called the Federalist could have been written by none but a sincere republican, desirous of guarding his country as much against the despotism of monarchy, on the one hand, as the tyranny of the popular demagogue, on the other. You have read the work, Mr. Smith, and you know this. It was written by gen. Hamilton, and yet you insinuate that he was the head, and those with whom he acted, viz. Washington and his followers, the body of this “monarchic faction.” But Hamilton is dead, and Washington’s followers are trampled beneath the feet of popular demagogues, and unable to do the mischief cunningly charged upon them by your faction. Yet Madison lives, and aspires to the seat of president of the American people. What was his “proposition in the convention”? Was it not more monarchial than Hamilton’s? And what has he ever written to shew his attachment to the constitution, as it now stands?
§ Assertions from you won’t do, Mr. Smith. You have a conscience—sometimes, and then you retract. If you would stick to it, like Duane, there is a certain portion of the people would believe you. But give us one proof, since you speak of proofs; we don’t ask you to substantiate it by thousands.
|| Pray what do you mean, Mr. Smith, by “calumny against the principles of republicanism”? This is too vague for an assertion. Is it Robespierre republicanism, Bonaparte republicanism, or Jefferson republicanism, you mean? Each boasts of his republicanism—and believe me, Mr. Smith, the difference is not so much in their tenets or motives as in the garb they happen to assume.
NENW YORK, July 29.
At a late hour last evening we were favored by a commercial friend with London papers by the Packet to the 10th ult. inclusive, four days later than any previous advices. They contain with the exception of the following articles, no intelligence in the smallest degree interesting to our readers.
London, June 7.
The squadron of 15 sail of the line, stationed in the Downs, is to act as occasion may require in the narrows of the Channel, or in the North Sea.—The squadron of Admiral Ruffel, which lately blockaded the Texel, is ordered round to make a part of this armament.
From this circumstance we may infer that the rumors respecting the Dutch force in the Texel are not accredited. At all events the force in the Downs will be in readiness to act from this central point, on any emergency.
The Boulogne flotilla begin to send forth its summer swarms, but they never venture from under their batteries.
June 8.
Letters from Gottenburg say that Russia has taken off all negotiation with France, and that the troops of the former power will soon take an advanced position in Pomerania. We
know from authority that the Prussian Minister has left Stockholm.
Letters of the 29th ult. from Amsterdam say that accounts have been received there which state that the Spanish squadron that failed from Carthagena on the 27th of April, under the command of Admiral Salgado, returned on the 18th having met with the fleet of Lord Nelson; and that some of the Spanish ships, in their haste to get into the harbor again, were damaged.
June 10.
To-morrow’s debate in the Commons on Mr. Whitbread’s motion for the impeachment of lord Melville, will call forth all the great energies of that assembly. No public question perhaps ever excited a livelier interest in the public mind than that which now presses for final discussion. Government, in resisting the motion, calculate upon a considerable majority; but this must materially depend upon the collateral aid, or opposition, which may be derived from the partizans of Lord Sidmouth and Mr. Wilberforce. Respecting the former, two counter-reports prevailed yesterday; the one, “that his Lordship meant to support Mr. Pitt, on the ground that the punishment of Lord Melville had already been proportioned to his offence;” the other, “that he and the minister had separated on ill terms last Saturday, because Mr. Pitt would not concede to his lordship’s opinion the political as well as moral necessity of an impeachment.” Which of these be the fact, we do not pretend to know; but the motion of to-morrow night will decide it. As to Mr. Wilberforce, and his corps of secretaries, they make no previous declaration of their political faith when there is any hope or chance of “a new light to lighten the Gentiles.”

FRIDAY, AUGUST 2.
Captain Haff of the ship Charles, informs us that on the 24th of June the harbor of Cadiz was blockaded by 5 sail of the line, two frigates and a cutter, under the command of Admiral Collingwood.
He also informs us that the United States gun boat No. 3, from New York, commanded by a lieutenant, and having 36 men on board, was captured by three Spanish privateers in the Gut of Gibraltar, after a smart engagement, and carried into Algeciras, where, in consequence of the spirited remonstrance of the American officer, she was reported to be given up. The day previous to her capture, three gun-boats and two other American vessels, schooners, failed to the eastward from the harbour of Gibraltar.
Markets dull.
We have received by captain Haff a file of the Madrid Gazette to the 14th June, which shall be examined, and the principal articles translated for to-morrow’s paper.
(N. Y. Mer. Adv.)
Captain Haff left at Cadiz the ship New York, captain George, to sail for Philadelphia in 4 or 6 days, with the illustrious Hero of Hohenlinden.

(The brave and persecuted Moreau) and his family, passengers. (Ibid.)
The British packet Princess Elizabeth left Falmouth on the 14th June. Captain Kidd brought no loose papers; and informs us that no event of importance had occurred during the week previous to his departure. (Ibid.)
Referring to Mr. Jefferson's message to congress on the 8th of November last, we find the following incongruous paragraph:
"I have the pleasure to inform you that the objections, which had been taken by that government" (Spain) to the validity of our title to the country of Louisiana, have been withdrawn: its exact limits however remaining still to be settled between us."
To obviate objections however, which Mr. Jefferson said had been withdrawn, by settling limits that had never been defined, it was deemed necessary to dispatch a special minister to the court of Spain. Mr. Monroe was accordingly ordered to leave London and repair to Madrid.
The last advices from Spain state, that Mr. Monroe, and Chas. Pinckney, having failed in every point of their negotiation, relative to the limits of Louisiana, and the claims for spoilation on our commerce, had asked for their passports and were returning under a refusal, at once injurious to the interest of individuals, who have been basely plundered, and degrading to our national character, which has been grossly abused.
How Mr. Jefferson's communication to congress in November last is, to be reconciled with this diplomatic rebuff, remains to be seen—How he will attempt to reconcile them, no one, who has traced him in his course can be at any loss to determine.
An involved message which may be read with equal chance of comprehension either backwards or forwards, will put every thing to rights. Or, if any further explanation is wanted, he may give it through his official paper the National Intelligencer , with the same confidence that it formerly declared "LOUISIANA IS OURS by the FINAL ACT OF SETTLEMENT." [Phil. Reg.]
Every observation from so intelligent a traveller as Volney, will deserve attention. We notice his attention to the face of our interior and western country. He observes from the nature of the soil in Kentucky and Tennessee, that the waters make deep beds, and that the rivers move between banks from fifty to several hundred feet high, so that the land cannot be much assisted from them, and are subject to droughts, which may increase as the country is deprived of its forest. But he observes that the waters of the North Western Territory, from the level country over which they pass, run near to the surface, and by the beds of clay are prevented from deeper beds. In confirmation of his observations he says, that the Ohio, before it is flown fifty feet, it keeps back the Northern waters up the country as far as seventy two miles, and at that distance can occasion an inundation. In the Spring the Great Miami, unites with the S. Branch of St. Mary, so that the carrying place to lake Erie is covered with water, so that a boat might pass from the waters which pass into the Ohio, into those that pass into lake Erie.
The Eastern branch of the Wabash might be united to these waters by a simple ditch, and from Fort Detroit by the overflowing of the heads of the rivers, passages have been gained, without carrying places into lake Michigan. So that the Muskingum at its sources communicates with the Cayuga,
which empties into lake Erie. He says, in one thousand seven hundred and ninety six, that he saw on the banks of the Great Sciota, a field of Corn in the first year of braking the land, in which the plants were generally above four yards high, and in full proportion. (Salem Reg.)
CAPTAIN CLARKE'S NARRATIVE OF THE LOSS OF THE BRIG LION.
To the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser.
Sir,
We left New York, on the 5th of June and nothing remarkable occurred to us until the 8th, when it came on to blow a heavy gale, and we were surrounded with squalls. On the 10th the weather moderated a little, and the wind hauled from S. S. E. to S. S. W. It notwithstanding blew very hard, but we stood on very well under close reefed topsails and foresail, and fore and aft main sail, until about half past twelve in the evening, in lat. 40, 21, long. 61, 30, the wind still blowing fresh, the vessel seemed to carry too much of a weather helm, and I ordered the main sail to be hauled down and the maintop sail to be settled to the cap, when all at once I heard a roaring in the elements resembling thunder, which proved to be a water spout accompanied with a whirlwind. The weather was so thick that we could not perceive any thing distinctly. I called the mate and all hands on deck; and having taken the helm, I ordered the topsails to be clued and the foresail to be hauled up; but before the watch could get out the vessel was so knocked down with the whirlwind and the great body of water that fell into the foretop sail, and foresail, that her lower mast lay in the water. She was so low that I expected she would have turned bottom upwards—but as she filled with water she seemed to stop for a few minutes. The weight of water from the spout that fell into the forecastle sunk her bows under water; and the boat breaking from her gripes, carried away the main hatches and companion. She filled so quick that it was impossible for all the passengers to get out of the cabin; four of them escaped through the skylight, and were very severely cut by the glass;—the remaining four and my apprentice boy were drowned.
The vessel was knocked down so quick that every person on deck except myself, was thrown overboard: I hung by the tiller ropes, for the vessel was so low it was with great difficulty I could catch any part of the rigging. However I was fortunate enough to lay hold of the topping lift, and hauling myself up by the other rigging I got on the weather gunwale. By that time the remainder of the people had escaped in the same manner.
We then cut away our weather rigging, and both her masts breaking off by the decks, the vessel came upon her bottom; but her decks were under water, the cotton came out of her continually, and our situation was rendered very alarming from knowing that when the cotton was all out of her she must sink.
In this awful dilemma our attention was directed to the boat as our only resource, and it was amongst the rigging and full of water. We immediately set to, and with great difficulty cleared her. We hauled her upon our lee gun-wale, and some of the water ran out. One of the passengers observing a bucket in the rigging, he jumped over and got it, so that we were enabled to bail out the water. As the brig was sinking very fast, we exerted ourselves to preserve some provisions for our subsistence, but found nothing in the companion excepting a small trunk which contained only a keg of sweatmeats and a few bottles of cordials. There was no time to be lost; we therefore at 9, A. M. com-
mitted ourselves to the mercy of Providence. We steered N. N. W. in the hope of falling in with some vessel, for our number consisted of twelve persons, in a small boat, without the means of subsistence, and without a hat on our heads or a shoe on our feet.
In this situation we remained two days. On the 13th, (as God was pleased to order it) the weather became almost calm, and we spied a sail to the eastward of us. We fell to with our oars, and by great exertions came up with her just as the wind was coming on to blow a breeze. She proved to be the sch'r Nancy, captain Rumford, of Halifax, bound to Dominica, by which we were rescued and treated with a tenderness for which I can never sufficiently express my gratitude. On the 14th we fell in with the ship Eliza Ann, of New-York; and, as we were fearful of being short of provisions and water for all hands, and as our passengers were desirous of proceeding to Europe, we put them on board her. We arrived at Dominica on the 2d inst. and were kindly treated by every person, especially by Messrs. Bollard, Hardie & Co. who offered me every assistance.
Not meeting with any earlier opportunity we took passage in the sloop Atlantic, captain Darling, for New-York, where we arrived on Saturday last.

Extracts from the third Volume of the Farmer's Magazine.
DAIRY COWS.
"It is much to be regretted, that the real value of a good Dairy Cow, is not more generally known. I am assured by a most respectable country gentleman (Walter Trevelyan, Esq. of Nether Witten, in Northumberland) that a well bred Teeswater Cow, will give, on an average, 14 quarts at each of two milkings, or 28 quarts per day. Some of the Teeswater breed, according to Culley, give even to the amount of 36 quarts per day. But calculating at 28 quarts, this, at 4d. per quart, amounts, to 9s. 4d. per day, and in six months, to 84 pounds."
Opening or distending the Milk Vessels in a Cow.
"In the northern counties, they with their Cows to calve when the grass is abundant. This, it is supposed, opens their milk vessels, and is a great means of rendering them ever after good milchers; which is not the case unless nature is early made to have a tendency to that species of secretion. It has been found a good plan, to give the whole of the milk a young Cow yields, to the Calf, which she readily does, and thus gets into a good habit of milking."
On the advantages of stocking a Pasture with different kinds of animals.
"It is observed, that animals, of different kinds, affect the rank grass which we call teth , that grows where the dung of another kind has dropped; but avoid that which grows among the dung of their own kind. Besides different kinds of animals prefer different kinds of plants. By this mixture of stock, the pasture will certainly be eaten to greatest advantage."

On his death bed, told Doctor Birch, his son-in-law, who attended him in his last illness, "That he was once at court, when the Duke of Buckingham spoke profanely before King Charles II, and that he told him, "My lord I am a great deal older than your grace, and have, I believe, heard more arguments for Atheism than ever your grace did. But I have lived long enough to see there is nothing in them, and I hope your grace will."
John Setden.
The king of Spain (says this author in his Table Talk ) was out-lawed in Westminster Hall, I being of counsel against him, in a suit which, because he could not get, we advised him to have his majesty outlawed for not appearing; and so he was. As soon as Condemar, the Spanish ambassador, heard that, he presently sent the money, by reason that, if his master had been outlawed, he could not have the benefit of the law; which would have been very prejudicial, there being then many suits depending between the king of Spain and our English merchants.

Attention—to the following Facts:
A greater saving at the UNION CHEAP BREAD MANUFACTORY, it being the cheapest in America—opposite the market, in Royal-street—by WILLIAM LOVELL, who has been the largest and cheapest bread manufacturer in the world, and was regularly bred to the trade, and baked for many years in the city of London eight hundred barrels of flour per week, in loaf bread, and was baker to his majesty king George and the prince of Wales.
HE begs leave to return his sincere thanks to the ladies and gentlemen of this town, and the public in general, for the great encouragement he has received, and assures them that nothing on his part shall be wanting to ensure their future favors; at the same time will trouble the reader with a few remarks on baking of bread, as follows:—Bread baked on tin is like a sponge, and seldom turned from dough, and is injurious to young children. This kind of bread is seldom in the oven more than thirty minutes; and the bread baked on the hearth will not bake in less than ninety minutes—and will keep, if taken proper care of, five days longer than any bread baked as before stated—and that two ten cent loaves of sound baked bread will go further than three ninepenny loaves baked on tins. As such, will leave the public to judge of the baking, and which is the most wholesome.
The purpose it can answer is the baker only, who can weigh it less, and from the shortness of time in the oven, and being kept from the severe heat, and being on false bottom. The fact is, that the inhabitants of this town have been obliged to bake in their own defence, or be obliged to eat this kind of bread, which could never have been introduced only to save labor as above stated and spoil good flour. The bread baked in the last twelve weeks by the subscriber, has been a saving to the public of nine hundred and twenty-one dollars ninety cents, and he can say with truth double that sum in the consuming of the bread, and without injuring the health of the people of the town:—And he farther begs leave to inform them, that he has introduced another kind of wholesome Bread, made of one half rye, and one half wheat flour—the ten cent loaf to weigh twelve ounces more than the wheaten loaf of the same price—As follows is a table of the weight of his bread from the present assay and price of flour:
The 20 cent loaf will weigh 4lbs. 2 ounces. The 10 cent loaf 2lb. 1 ounce. The 5 cent loaf 1lb. and half an ounce—and the 3 penny loaf 13 ounces.
The public are advised, as a material saving in bread, not to eat it until the day after baked, as it is much wholesomer and a saving of 20 per cent; if kept in an earthen pot it will keep six days.
It has been the practice of this place for bread sellers to start up like mushrooms, bake a month or two, and leave off for want of knowledge and materials—a greater part of them not being brought up to the business and depend only on journeymen.
It is hoped this practice will not be supported, as no man of merit will stay in any town unless properly encouraged—as baking is a mystery which none can know but by real practice.
Mr. L. is happy to find that many families are convinced that his Bread is cheaper than they can bake for themselves. This statement is cash, except where stated credits are agreed on, and these must be regularly paid, or the bread stopped; which will be painful to the subscriber—having no other mode of establishing punctual payments, as his profits are small.
N. B. A lad from 14 to 17 years old, wanted for any time, according to his age; who will be taught the art and mystery of baking in all its branches.

Highway Robbery!
1500 Dollars Reward.
YESTERDAY, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, Mr. JOHN PETER, an officer of the Bank of COLUMBIA, was stopped on horseback on the road between this town and Alexandria, and within about two miles of the latter place, by some unknown villain, shot through the body with a pistol, and robbed of a sum of money in his possession belonging to the Institution, which he was taking to Alexandria for the purpose of exchanging with the Bank there.
The whole sum taken amounted to Eighteen Thousand One Hundred and Fourteen Dollars and Sixty-five Cents, made up in packages among which were
1 Post Note of the Bank of Virginia, for 800 dollars 1 ditto of the Bank of Alexandria for 500 1 ditto of the same for 500 1 ditto of the same for 450 1 ditto of the Bank of Potomac, 149 65 cents
A Check of the Union Bank on the Bank of Alexandria, drawn by R. Higginbotham, Cashier in favor of Greatham and Deverau, by him endorsed and by Benjamin Stodder, and C. Smith, Teller.
There were also a parcel of Post Notes of the Bank of Alexandria for 100 dollars and for 50 dollars each. The remainder was in current notes, principally of the banks of Alexandria and Potomac, and some few of the Bank of Virginia of different sizes and denominations.
As the ATTACK was SUDDEN, and the WOUND received of a nature to deprive Mr. Peter instantly of his senses, (although it is hoped he will recover) the description obtained may not be very accurate. As far as we are informed, the man who perpetrated the act, is a middle stature, good countenance, and had a neat appearance. He had on a dark blue or black coat, 'nankeen pantaloons, flours and a black hat, he was on FOOT and ALONE at the time, but may have had accomplices concealed, and will probably change his clothes.
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS will be given to any person or persons, who will detect and bring to conviction the ROBBER: and ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS additional for the recovery of the whole of the money, or in proportion for any smaller sum recovered. Should there be accomplices, and one of them make a discovery, so that it leads to the conviction of the robber, or to the recovery of the money, he shall receive the ABOVE REWARD, and in default will be made to obtain his PARDON.
