A few Copies of the American Guardian for sale by ROBERT GRAY.
CHARLESTON, May 20.
The following has been communicated by a gentleman of the first respectability at Havana; and was received by the brig Ploughboy, arrived at this port yesterday.
Havana, May 9, 1805.
DEAR SIR,
I have been directed by the Committee, named in the enclosed, to send to you the copy of their proceedings.
The ostensible cause of Mr. Gray's arrest and the seizure of his papers, public and private, exists, simply, in his having granted a Consular Certificate to the execution of a Bill of Sale, and a consequent Passport, to an American vessel, which was afterwards dispatched to another port in this island to load, and the captain of which departed without having paid the duties that had accrued at this place. This was construed by a principal Officer of the intendancy, to be a connivance, on the part of Mr. Gray, at the illegal conduct of the Captain! With how much justice may be easily seen. They were papers which a Public Agent is obliged to give to every American vessel under similar circumstances; and the insidious evasion of such right and obligation is attempted, by pretending that the government of this island does not formally acknowledge any man in a public capacity; notwithstanding every principal officer thereof has communicated with Mr. Gray (and with his predecessor before his appointment) as persons charged with the Public Affairs of the United States!
The Governor General and the Intendant General pretended at first to disapprove in fact of the proceedings of their officer, but took no effectual or decisive measures to check him; and it was only by the most spirited exertions of many of us, the personal friends of Mr. Gray, aided by some merchants of the place, that we got his person released from a loathsome prison, on giving security to abide the issue of the trial.
The governor contrary to what ought to have been expected from him, has republished a proclamation which he formerly issued, declaredly for the purpose of checking the French agents who were fitting out privateers which committed notorious acts of piracy upon neutral vessels. The translation, which I have rendered myself, is as follows:
"By Authority."
"In order to avoid the errors which may occasion injuries to those who, from common report, believe that there are in this port of Havana, and others of this island, agents, commissioners or consuls, of foreign nations: The president, governor, and captain general makes known. That there is no subject of any nation admitted by the government, with those expressed powers, nor any other representative of another nation. The laws of these dominions prohibit it; and although they should permit it, they (the representatives) can never be admitted to the use of their functions, altho' they should come clothed in due form by their respective governments, whilst they have not the previous royal authority, as a necessary requisite."
"Havana. May 8, 1805."
The re-publication at this time plainly shows that the government abandons any protection of Mr. Gray against the attempts of its subaltern officers; who with avaricious or malicious views stop not at means which sacrifice every principle of right and hospitality, and which of course might compromise the peace of the two countries.
The papers are still detained; and the proceedings which are to follow, it is impossible to foresee or calculate. Many of the most respectable merchants, and some of the leading officers and gentlemen of the island, are endeavoring to put things upon a better footing; but there is nothing to be depended upon with any kind of certainty.
AMERICAN AFFAIRS AT THE HAVANNA.
(Translated by the Committee of American Merchants and Masters of vessels, assembled at that port.)
In the recent outrageous insult upon the Consul of the United States at the Havana, the Americans came forward with great spirit and unanimity in his support.
A meeting was held, and an address agreed to be presented to Mr. GRAY, as a public testimony of their attachment to his person, and their approbation of his conduct; and a public dinner to be given on the occasion. Mr. Morton, the former consul, happened to be there on private
business and having greatly exerted himself in endeavouring to remove the existing troubles, was requested to preside. The following address was signed by a committee selected from the merchants and masters of vessels, who had assembled to the number of sixty. It was presented to Mr. GRAY before the company sat down to dinner, and his answer returned; both of which the Committee have directed to be published in the United States.
THE ADDRESS.
HAVANNA, April 30, 1805.
SIR,
YOUR fellow citizens of the United States, at present in this city, impressed with a deep sense of the situation into which our public affairs, and your, and their private interests, have been placed by the measures which have been enforced against you by some of the officers of this government, (at the occasion, which is thus presented, for expressing the sentiments which those measures have excited.
Desirous of giving our united and individual support to a public agent of our country, we feel particularly anxious to extend it toward one for whom we entertain so great personal respect and esteem.
In a review of your management of the concerns of our nation (which many of us have witnessed for a very considerable length of time) we perceive the most public spirited and self-disinterested motives influencing your conduct; and we are equally fixed in the belief that, in no instance whatsoever, have you given just cause to this government for even a suspicion of a violation of its laws.
Confident, also, that in a further investigation of the matter, which has been ostensibly placed as the ground of the late proceedings against you, none will be found really to exist, we cannot but lament that steps so hasty, and in their consequences so unpleasant and injurious to yourself, and detrimental to the commercial interests of our common country, should have been adopted.
We offer to you, Sir, under all circumstances which shall arise, the continuance of our support, and our best wishes for your happiness and welfare.
Signed, JOHN MORTON, chairman, NATH. FELLOWES, jun. JOHN MURDOCK, JAMES PERRY, AMOS GREEN, JAMES GORHAM, EDWARD SANDERS, J. W. RUSSELL, TO VINCENT GRAY, Esqr.
Joint committee from sixty American merchants and masters of vessels, now in the Havana.
Acting Consul of the United States at the Havana.
THE ANSWER.
Havana, 30th April, 1805.
GENTLEMEN,
I have received your address of this date, in behalf of the American merchants and masters of vessels, now in this port.
I want words to express the sense I have of so decided and unequivocal support as your address conveys.
Conscious that I have at all times, and in every instance wherein the interests of my fellow-citizens were concerned, acted faithfully and to the best of my abilities in the promotion thereof, I cannot but feel gratified by your approbation.
Equally conscious that, in all my operations here, both public and private, I have avoided every ground which could offer, even a suspicion, of interfering with, or evading the laws of this colony, or government, I cannot but be pleased with the confidence you have expressed in my integrity.
With such consciousness, and with such support, the tongue of malice, or the arbitrary measures of a government, cannot affect the peace of my own mind, or the sacredness of my own reputation; I leave them both in the hands of that Providence whose penetrating eye discerns all sublunary affairs, and justly estimates the workings of the human heart.
I reciprocate, gentlemen, with the utmost sincerity, the good wishes conveyed to me; in ardently desiring the advancement of your individual welfare and happiness.
(Signed)
VINCENT GRAY.

PARIS, March 18.
Yesterday at one, his majesty being on his throne, surrounded by the grand dignitaries, the ministers, and great officers, and the members of the Council of State, the Grand Master of the ceremonies introduced Mr. Melzi, Vice President of the Italian Republic, attended by M. Mareschalchi, Ambassador of that Republic, the Great Officers of State of that republic, and the Representatives of its principal public bodies.
M. de Mareschalchi, the minister of the foreign affairs of the Italian Republic, then mounted the Tribune, and read the constitutional Statute in the following words:
"Napoleon, by the grace of God and the constitution, king of Italy, to all those to whom these shall come greeting:
Constitutional Statute March, 17.
ARTICLE 1.
The Emperor of the French, Napoleon, is king of Italy.
ARTICLE II.
The crown of Italy is hereditary in direct and lawful descent, whether natural or adopted, from male to male, to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descendants; still with this restriction that the right of adoption is not to extend to any person who is not a citizen of the French empire, or of the kingdom of Italy.
ARTICLE III.
At the period that the foreign armies shall have evacuated the state of Naples, the Ionian Isles, and the Island of Malta, the Emperor Napoleon will transmit the hereditary crown of Italy to one of his male legitimate children, whether natural or adopted.
ARTICLE IV.
From the date of that period the crown of Italy shall no longer be united to that of France, in the same person, and the successors of Napoleon I. in the kingdom of Italy, shall reside constantly in the Italian Republic.
ARTICLE V.
In the course of the present year, the Emperor Napoleon with the advice of the council of state, and the deputation of the electoral colleges, shall give to the Italian Monarchy, a constitution founded on the same principles with the laws which he has already given to Italy.

BONAPARTE'S SPEECH.
The different authorities of the Italian Monarchy having taken the oath of fidelity to the king, his majesty addressed them in these words:
"Senators,
"We wished on this occasion to come amongst you, for the purpose of acquainting you with what our thoughts are upon one of the most important objects of the state.
"The strength and power of the French empire, are exceeded by the moderation which regulates our political concerns. We have conquered Holland, three fourths of Germany, Switzerland, and the whole of Italy. We have been moderate in the midst of the greatest prosperity. Out of so many provinces, we have only preserved those which were necessary to keep us at the same point of consideration in which France always was. The division of Portland, provinces torn from Turkey, the conquest of India, and almost all the colonies, has broken the general balance, to our detriment.
"All that we have judged necessary for the re-establishment of this balance, we have restored, and in doing so, we have acted conformably to that principle, by which we have been always guided, never to take arms for the accomplishment of vain projects of greatness, nor from the desire of conquest.
"Germany was evacuated. Its provinces were restored to the descendants of so many illustrious houses which we lost forever, if we had not afforded them our generous protection. We have raised them up and confirmed them; and the Princes of Germany are at this day in a more splendid situation than their ancestors ever were.
"Austria herself, after two unsuccessful wars, has acquired the State of Venice. At all times she would willingly have exchanged the provinces which she has lost, for the Venetian territory.
"Holland was scarcely conquered, when she was declared independent. Her union with our Empire would have completed our commercial system, since the greatest rivers of one half of our territory meet the

through Holland. Still Holland is independent; and its customs, its commerce, and its administration, are directed by the will of its government.
Switzerland was occupied by our arms. We defended it against the combined force of Europe. Its union would have completed our military frontier. Still Switzerland governs itself by the act of mediation, and by the inclination of nine free and independent cantons.
The union of the territory of the Italian republic with the French empire, would have been advantageous for the advancement of our agriculture. Nevertheless, after the second conquest, we confirmed independence at Lyons. We do more this day.
We proclaim the principle of the separation of the crowns of France and Italy, assigning for the period of that separation, the moment when it shall become possible, without danger to our people.
We have accepted, and we will place on our head the iron crown of the ancient Lombards, for the purpose of new tempering it, to consolidate it, that it may not be broken in the midst of the tempests which menace it, so long as the Mediterranean shall not be restored to its pristine state.
But we do not hesitate to declare, that we will transmit this crown to one of our lawful children, natural or adopted, the day when we shall be without alarm for that independence which we have guaranteed to the other states of the Mediterranean.
The genius of evil will seek in vain for pretexts to plunge the continent into war. That which has been united to our empire by the constitutional laws of the state, shall remain so. No new province shall be incorporated with it: but the laws of the Batavian republic, the act of mediation of the nineteen Swiss cantons, and this first statute of the kingdom of Italy, are constantly under the protection of our crown, and shall never suffer them to be attacked.
In all circumstances and in all transactions, we will display the same moderation; and we hope that our people will no longer have occasion to manifest that courage and energy which they have always shown in defending their lawful rights.

John, Green, 8 days from the Grand Banks, bound to Marblehead, with 10,000 fish on board, short of provisions; having on board ten of the unfortunate crew and passengers taken from the long boat of the ship Jupiter; captain Green informs, that the ship Sally, of Boston, captain Somes, from Charleston, bound to Liverpool, was lost among the ice, the 23d April. The Captain 2d mate, and 4 of the crew got into the boat, and after being in that situation 9 days, 4 of which without water, were taken on board a Marblehead fishing schooner.
The chief mate and seven of the crew went down in the ship.

Regulator, Chapman, 6 days from the Grand Banks, for Marblehead, having 4 of the Jupiter's crew on board; captain Knight supplied them with provisions. Captain Mayo Gerrish, of Newburyport came passenger, from Bordeaux, and Mr. T. Williams, 2d mate of the Jupiter, who was taken on board the Jane, from a fishing schr. on the banks.
NEW-YORK, May 27.
Arrived, the brig Panther, Brown, in 23 days from Port-Royal, Jamaica. The brig Panther was from Aux-Cayes, and on her passage was captured by the French, recaptured by the British and carried into Jamaica. Captain B. informs that a packet had arrived there from England with dispatches, said to contain instructions to the Governor, empowering him to open the ports to the admission of American vessels as formerly, if he thought proper. The Assembly were to set the day he left it, to discuss the question, and there was no doubt but that the ports would be continued open as formerly.
Extract from the Log-Book of the brig Panther, Brown, from Kingston, Jamaica.
The Panther left Kingston, May 2. A few days previous to her sailing admiral Dacres, with six sail of the line left Port-Royal in search of the French fleet. May 4th, was boarded by the Princess Charlotte frigate, having in tow the ship Benjamin,
of New-York, which had been previously taken by a French privateer, and carried into an out port in Cuba, where the frigate cut her out. May 10th, fell in with & was boarded by a French or Spanish privateer, who treated the flag with their usual politeness, by breaking open the hatches, plundering the vessel of stores and stock, and the passengers and captain of their clothes and every thing valuable they could lay their hands on, first, however, carrying them on board the privateer, the better to accomplish their purpose, and loading them with the most abusive language. Previous to the Panther's sailing, the brig John and James, and sconer Americano, of Charleston, were condemned in a court of vice-admiralty having been taken off Curracoa, also an Eastern schooner bound to the same place. The schooner William and Mary, Travers, of Baltimore, being denied admittance at Laguire, where she was bound, run down to see if Curracoa was blockaded and on descrying a sail, altered her course to make the necessary enquiry, it proved to be one of the blockading squadron, who took possession of and sent her to Jamaica, where the vessel and cargo are condemned: the principal reason for condemning this vessel seems to be that she is a very fine vessel and suitable for a privateer, and it was even said that gun-carriages were made for her previous to her trial. The schooner Experiment, capt. Gaylord, of this port, taken in attempting to enter Curracoa, with French passengers in distress, was also tried for a breach of blockade, and cleared with costs and damages. Ship Fidelity, Weams, of Baltimore, from Nantz to N. Orleans, and several other vessels were waiting for trial. May 26th, in the Gulf, lat. 25, was in company with the brig Mary, Pearson, from Jamaica for New-York, out 14 days. In lat. 35, 30, spoke the brig General Washington, from Providence for Savannah. May 23, spoke the ship Montezuma, 22 hours from Philadelphia for Batavia.
By the politeness of capt. Brown, of the brig Panther, the editors of the N. York Gazette, have been put in possession of Kingston (Jamaica) papers to the second instant. Extracts are given from them, which completely do away the various rumours of an attack upon Jamaica by the Toulon fleet.
We have received by the Argo, Montego-Bay papers to the 4th instant. The Chronicle of the 4th mentions, that orders had been received there from the British government, to allow lumber and provisions to be imported into the different islands in American vessels whenever it was thought expedient. The passengers who went in the brig Twins, from New York, had arrived at Falmouth from Barracoa, in a schooner which they had chartered.
The ship Sally, of Boston from Charleston for Liverpool, was lost amongst the ice the 23d of April. The captain, 2d mate and four of the crew got into the boat, and after being in a distressed situation for nine days were taken up by a Marblehead fishing schooner. The chief mate and seven of the crew went down in the ship. For a more particular account see the Boston Marine head.

COMMERCIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, to a respectable mercantile house in Boston, dated April 4, 1805.
A new law has appeared under the date of the 30th Ventose (21st March) authorising the seizure and confiscation of all colonial produce imported in foreign ships, which shall not be accompanied with certificates of the French commercial agents, certifying that it is not the production of any colony or country, under the dominion of Great-Britain. It will be rigorously enforced, even against vessels coming from ports where no such agent resides. This law is supplementary to one of the same nature, the 1st Messidor, 11th year (20th June, 1803) but more severe in its dispositions, as there was a modification in the latter, by which an exportation of an equal value in French manufactured goods, within the three months following the importation, was to be considered as an exemption from all penalties, seizures, or confiscations; but this privilege is no longer allowed. Although this regulation is of little consequence to your port, where you are in habits of accompanying every shipment with the document here exacted, yet a knowledge of its existence may be necessary to the neighboring ports, where no commercial agent resides.
We have received a Liverpool Price Current of the 11th April, but not in time to appear in this day's Gazette. The following remarks are contained in the letter which accompanied it:
[Phil. True American.]
Liverpool, April 11.
From the annexed price current, you will see, that our cotton market is dull: in fact, so little is doing, that it is scarcely possible to quote a selling price, and many of those now stated are nominal. The imports here have been heavy; and there are arrivals almost daily; but this port appears to be drawing the bulk of the cotton trade to us, and the quantities in other places are very light. The manufacturers must be barely stocked; but their trade is dull in the extreme, and the continental are still backward. Fair New-Orleans has been sold at 2s. and 2s. 1d. and Upland 21d. a 21 and 1-2d. In fact the state of the trade is such, that no sales can be effected without giving way a little in price, and there seems an alarm amongst many of the holders.
The accounts of the arrival of the French fleet in the West Indies has caused considerable alarm; this, with statements of the capture of some American vessels, and a rumor that the Spaniards and French will capture all neutrals to and from this kingdom, has rendered the underwriters so timid, that we cannot get them to name a premium to New Orleans on goods, in a vessel which they a few days ago underwrote at 2 and half guineas per cent. and it is the same to the Atlantic States. We hope something certain will be known ere long.
From some recent statements, there is little probability of assistance from the continental powers against France at present.
From the New York Gazette.
By the ship Hardware, captain Matlack, in 39 days from Liverpool, the editors of the New York Gazette have received London papers to the 13th of April. The most prominent article is that of the resignation of Lord Melville as Treasurer of the Navy, on account of being charged by the House of Commons of having made an improper use of the public money.
The secret expedition had not yet sailed.
London, April 10. We last night received the Paris papers to the 3d, and a Dutch paper of the 6th inst. The naval preparations carrying on in the ports of Spain are studiously represented, in the French papers, as being immense; and the squadron fitting out at Cadiz will, it is said, be very soon able to cope with that of Admiral Orde.
We are however, rather apprehensive that some time will elapse before they will give the gallant admiral an opportunity of making the experiment.
April 11. Last night in the House of Commons, Mr. Whitbread followed up the resolutions of Monday, with moving an address to his majesty to remove Lord Melville from all places of trust and emolument, which he held during the pleasure of the crown.
After some debate the motion was withdrawn, and the house voted that the resolutions of Monday should be laid before his majesty, and the same should be carried up by the whole house; and it was also agreed that there should be no adjournment until this communication had been made.
Mr. Whitbread then gave notice that after the holidays he would move that instructions be given to the attorney general to prosecute Lord Melville and Mr. Trotter, to make their account for their improper, intrusions with the public money.
Tuesday Mr. Pitt waited on his majesty at Windsor, to communicate the important result of the question in the house of commons, and in consequence thereof to tender Lord Viscount Melville's resignation. It was graciously received, and it is imagined that Mr. Pitt in his present extremity, will recommend even Lord Castlereagh to the situation. Nothing however was settled last night. Mr. Yorke, is mentioned as likely to come into office. Mr. Canning yesterday morning intimated to Mr. Trotter that he could no longer permit him to hold the place of paymaster of the navy. At the same time Mr. Trotter had tendered his resignation.
April 12.—The resolutions passed by the House of Commons were presented to his majesty yesterday by the Speaker, and about thirty members; none of those who, to give greater solemnity to the proceeding, had been so anxious and eager for their being presented by the whole house, neither Mr. Fox, nor Mr. Windham, nor Mr. Whitbread, nor Mr. Grey, attending. The Speaker left the House of Commons in state a little before 4 o'clock. Upon being introduced to the king, who was seated on the throne; he informed his majesty
that by the command of the house of Commons, he was to present to his majesty, the resolutions of that house. He then read them aloud and presented them to his majesty, who returned a most gracious answer; in which he thanked the Commons for their care and attention to the public interest, and expressed himself to be fully sensible of the importance of the resolutions which they had presented to him. The Speaker and members then withdrew. The House of Commons had previously adjourned for a fortnight.
If the funds rose on Tuesday in consequence of the debate on the preceding day which in the opinion of the speculators justified a belief that the opposition would immediately come into power, and make overtures of peace to Bonaparte, it was natural to suppose that they would experience a depression yesterday, in consequence of the debate of Wednesday, which rendered it impossible any longer to entertain such a belief. They did experience a depression, which some attempted to attribute to the bad news received from the West-Indies. No intelligence whatever was received from that quarter, nor from any other part of the world.

Valuable Property for Sale.
The subscriber being desirous of removing to the western country, offers for sale, the following Tracts of LAND , in Fairfax county, Virginia, viz.
The Tract on which he resides, containing about 740 acres, 5 miles below Alexandria, and within one mile of Potomac river, in an agreeable neighborhood; the situation pleasant and remarkably healthy; the land level and well adapted to the production of Indian-corn, wheat, and other small grain. The improvements are, a large and commodious dwelling house, two stories high, 54 feet long and 35 feet wide, with four rooms and a passage on a floor, a piazza nine feet wide on each front, the full length of the house, and an excellent cellar, under the whole house divided into four rooms and a passage; a good kitchen, meat-house, dairy, ice-house, and every other necessary building, all in good repair, with a well of excellent water; a good garden, apple & peach orchard, and about 40 acres of excellent timothy meadow, and as much more may be made at a very small expence: Also, an overseer's house, negro quarters, a granary, &c.
One other Tract , containing about 1250 acres, 6 miles below Alexandria, divided into two farms sufficient to work 9 or 10 hands on each: The buildings on these farms consist only of overseers' houses, negro quarters, granaries, &c. There are 40 or 50 acres of good timothy meadow well enclosed, and a great deal more may be made at a trifling expence; the land very level and fertile, with an abundance of timber. This tract is allowed, by those who know it well, to be equal, if not superior, to any tract of the same extent in this part of the country. It will be sold entire, or divided, as may be found most convenient.
One other Tract near the last mentioned one, containing 402 acres, rented to tenants at will; a considerable portion of which is level and the soil good. There are on it, two or three beautiful and commanding situations for buildings, and a meadow from which one of the tenants sells from 15 to 20 tons of hay a year.
Another Tract , of about 325 Acres, 9 or 10 miles below Alexandria, through which the stage road leading from thence to Richmond passes: This would be an excellent stand for a tavern, there being none at this time between Alexandria and Colchester, a distance of 16 or 18 miles: Also,
One other Tract near the last, containing about 400 acres. Both the last mentioned tracts are likewise rented to tenants at will; they produce good corn, wheat, and other small grain, and there is on each of them a considerable quantity of excellent timothy meadow in good order, from which the tenants sell a great deal of hay. For terms, apply to the subscriber, five miles below Alexandria.

This land was deeded to me, several years ago, by Reverend Fairfax , Esquire—the title indisputable, as may be seen by the title papers in my possession. Terms may be known and the land showed to any person wishing to purchase, by the subscriber.

A great bargain may be had in the purchase of the first mentioned tract, and in the latter on rent, provided application be soon made. Possession may be had at Christmas , (when the present crop will be finished) with liberty of sowing wheat this fall. It is supposed, by judges, there is a good MILL-SEAT , with a stream of water on the 900 acre tract. Any person desirous of purchasing will view it and judge for themselves.
