LONDON, March 14.
During the press on the River, a great number of American seamen having been taken in consequence of the conflict of the United States, resident in London, has had a long interview with the Lords of the Admiralty, when all those seamen, who could produce satisfactory testimonials of their being Citizens of America, were ordered to be discharged. Several, however, have entered voluntarily, at the same time expressing a wish that they may have an opportunity of meeting the COMMON ENEMY. The conduct of these brave fellows is above all praise.
The report of persons having been taken up in Yorkshire, charged with high treason, and a connection with Despard, was not unfounded. On Thursday last were tried at York, William Lee, (aged 42) and William Rouxley, both of Sheffield, for having, between September 1801, and Christmas last past, feloniously administered an oath to Wm. Simnet, of Sheffield, collier, to engage in a conspiracy, formed for the purpose of disturbing the public peace. These two men were only indicted for unlawfully administering an oath, but a perusal of the evidence against them will show they were guilty of high treason. They associated, took a secret oath, were to overthrow the government by force of arms, the wives and families of those who fell in battle were to be provided for, and these ignorant, despicable miscreants, were to govern this country! In every particular the societies of Sheffield resembled those of Despard, and they were no doubt in connection with them, as it appears about the time he was apprehended, the conspiracy at Sheffield was detected, in consequence of a letter from London being intercepted at the General Post Office.
These Sheffield traitors had prepared pikes, about three times the size of a carving knife, but edged on both sides like a dagger. Their design was to seize the barracks at Sheffield, possess themselves of the arms, and then take the town. They gave themselves out to consist of about 1000 men in Sheffield; but we trust they are not even so numerous. The prisoners were found guilty of administering the unlawful oaths, and sentenced to seven years transportation. It is a great pity they are not punished with death! Such an example at Sheffield might prove a salutary lesson, and we fear it is much wanted in that town. By an account of a Hartford County meeting, it seems Mr. Baker, late Member of Parliament for that county, thinks the conspiracy of Despard was connected with the designs of Bonaparte, to invade England at this moment. Should this conjecture be founded, the chief Consul will, indeed, have been guilty of the blackest perfidy.

The last Dutch Mail that arrived here as an article, dated from Madrid, communicating an account of an expedition having been fitted out from Bengal against the Portuguese settlement at Macao, which expedition was put an end to by the arrival of the intelligence of peace having been concluded. A private letter, we have received, explains the cause of this expedition, and furnishes us with another commentary upon the race of commercial rivalry, which the French mean to run with us. Our East India and China trade are the great object, the envy of France. To check and interrupt them is of course her most ardent wish. The Portuguese possess a settlement called Macao, situated at the entrance of the River Canton. In the hands of so feeble a power as Portugal the possession of that island cannot be injurious to us, but it would be highly so if it were in the hands of an active and powerful rival. We are informed, that one of the private articles of the Treaty between France and Portugal ceded this settlement to the French. This information was sent to our Government at Bengal, and it was resolved to fit out an expedition to prevent the Portuguese from making such a cession. Whether our remonstrances and preparations prevented them from delivering up the place, or whether the French had no force sufficient to cope with ours, we know not. The following is the letter we have received. It is from an Officer on board the Ruler, and is dated
"Java Sea, 22d Jan. 1802.
"By the Wellesley, which sailed from Bengal the 8th ult. I informed you of my having volunteered to go on a secret expedition then fitting out, the destination of which was at that time, a profound secret; but it is so no longer; and I need hardly observe, that it is to occupy the island of Macao, situated at the entrance of the river Canton, which the Portuguese, by the late treaty of peace, are said to have made over to the French; who would, if established there, annoy our China trade exceedingly. Our force is composed of one company of Bengal artillery, one of the 78th regiment of Highlanders,
and 500 sepoys, embarked in the Asia, Dover Castle, and Rainier East Indiamen, and escorted by the Arrogant, Captain Osborne, and Orpheus, Captain Elphinstone. Sir Home Popham accompanied us to Paulo Penang, when Admiral Rainier took the command. At Penang, the Admiral took all his provisions out, except enough to carry him to Madras, from whence we pushed on to Malacca, and waited a fortnight, till the two men of war joined us. We are to stop a few days at Amboyna, after which we launch away to the Eastward of all the islands, even the Phillipines and Peleus, into the Pacific Ocean, before crossing the N. E. trade for Canton, which will take us at least six weeks more."
Admiral Rainier received advice of Peace having been concluded, before he arrived in Canton River.
March 18.
The great ground of complaint against the Ministers in the present state of affairs is, that they have given no information of any kind, either as to the points in discussion between them and the French Cabinet; or the nature and extent of the armaments preparing in the ports of France and Holland. The latter species of information, they are less excusable for withholding, as it could consist only of a statement of facts, which could not at all effect the negotiations pending, while it must afford the most satisfactory reason for counter preparations on our part, and the best measure for the extent and limitation of those counter preparations. The present statement of the French military establishment given by the Secretary at War, as a ground for the increase of the peace establishment, shews how easy it is to ascertain, not only the collective force of a country so near and so easy of access, but also its details and distribution. Every one recollects the effect of that statement in the House of Commons, where it was felt as the most urgent cause for an increased establishment on our side; and it was only lamented that any preparation which prudence would permit us to make must fall so infinitely short of the half million of men which the Hon. Secretary showed to be at the command of the First Consul; and which that Consul boasts that he has in readiness to defend the Republic from England, and to avenge any attempt made from this side of the Channel.
This statement is now recollected, and opposed to the bare demand of a vote made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Every one is surprised that the number of ships in the different ports of France and Holland, together with their size and forwardness for equipment, their declared destination, and the number of land forces in readiness to be embarked on board them, as well as the strength of the bodies of troops stationed in the vicinity of the ports, so as to be an available force in case of hostility. Every one is surprised that Ministers have not ascertained all these as prudence should have directed them to do, even in a period of the most profound and unsuspected peace, and as they might with ease have done by means of three or four frigates, commanded by active and intelligent officers.
If the Chancellor of the Exchequer prefaced his vote of 10,000 seamen with such a statement of the naval preparations of France in all her ports from Toulon to the mouth of the Scheldt, he would have laid a ground of the most urgent and irresistible kind for preparation on our part, and he would have astonished and confounded the enemy by such a display of the vigilance with which their designs were observed, and the energy with which they would be counteracted if they should prove unfair. Now all that we know is, that there are armaments in the ports of France and Holland, and that the professed object of these armaments is colonial service. But what precise force, either naval or military, there is in any port or what the professed destination of that force, we are entirely ignorant. We have therefore only the single word of Ministers, by no means a parliamentary or constitutional ground of proceeding, to inform us that it is necessary and proper for us to arm, and that the precise additional force which we should raise is 10,000 seamen.
Yet though no Parliamentary explanation has been given by Ministers, a paper connected with them has communicated some particulars from which we are able to infer what are the real points in dispute. That paper says:—"If it should appear, because Egypt was not evacuated at a moment when there was too much
reason to suppose that France had views to forming an establishment there—that therefore threats were held out of driving our army from Alexandria—if similar threats have been made to starve or invade Malta, although no means have yet been discovered to place that island in the independent state in which it was proposed to be placed by our treaty with France—if menacing language upon other points has been held to our Ambassador at Paris—if armaments have been prepared, and ships commissioned in the ports of France, without complete satisfaction as to the purposes of such measures—if upon other anxious and interesting points, explanations have been refused, who is there in the nation, valuing our existence as an independent people, who does not think that it is time to bring things to a point?"
No one can be at a loss to guess why the Ministerial paper does not communicate the above information in a more positive manner. We have no doubt that the points above stated are the real grounds of the dispute with France.
The same paper prepares us to expect changes in the Administration, and paves the way for the introduction into the Cabinet of men, not belonging to the old Opposition, but to the old Administration.
BASLE, March 9.
The New Constitution of Switzerland begins to be carried into effect. The Helvetic Senate was dissolved on the 9th March. The Executive Council will very soon break up. Landamman Dolder is going to Argovia; the Executive Counsellor Fesch, to Zurich; his colleague Ruttiman, on return from Paris, passed on through Berne, to Lucerne, where he is President of the Committee of organisation. The Deputies of Argovia, Zurich, Basle, &c. are on their way home from Paris. Citizen Usteri of Zurich published a very fine address to his constituents, to impress them with a sense of the importance of the act of mediation, the excellence of the principles on which it is founded, and the paternal solicitude of the First Consul, for the entire restoration of peace in Switzerland.
Before its dissolution the Senate made the following decree:
"The Senate, deeply affected with a grateful sense of the beneficence of Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul of the French Republic, and President of the Italian Republic, exercised in the act of mediation of which he was the author, and which promises to establish tranquility and constitutional order in the Helvetic Republic: and considering that in the carrying of this act into effect depend the honour and independence of this country; hereby declares.
 1. The Helvetic Government receives with gratitude the mediation of the First Consul of the French Republic, President of the Italian Republic, dated the 18th of February last.  2. All the Citizens of the Helvetic Republic are hereby urgently required to conform to the provisions of the above mentioned act of mediation with fidelity, with attachment, and with firmest resolutions to promote the public good of their country; and for this end to rally round Citizen D'Afay, who, having obtained the confidence of the First Consul, has been nominated Landamman of Switzerland, and to invest both him and future Magistrates with their entire confidence.  3. Landamman Citizen Dolder, President of the Senate, is required to communicate the present decree to Citizen D'Afay, and to inform him of the dissolution of the Senate.

M. informs that the French Prefect had arrived at New Orleans a few day previous to his sailing, and was received with great honors; the garrison fired a Royal Salute on his landing. It was the general belief that the Prefect would not enter upon the duties of his appointment, until the arrival of the French troops, and that his excellency the Marquis de Casa Calva was momentarily expected from Havanna to deliver the place up in form to the French government.
Sloop, of Boston, had failed for Mobile, with Dinsmore and suite, on a mission from the United States to the Choctaw Nation.
Extract of a letter from a very intelligent person in the Choctaw nation, to a gentleman in Knoxville, dated February 11.
"The little King of the Chickasawhay, has been at New Orleans, and since his return he has introduced a talk among the chiefs of that nation, in which he calls upon them to hold themselves in readiness to meet the French at New Orleans in the Spring, to have with them a great big talk (as he terms it.) The King says the French are at New Orleans, and that he conversed with them. It seems the Indians have received no presents from them yet."
The Little King of the Chickasawhay, mention in the above letter, was formerly in the interest of the English, and afterwards avowedly in that of the Americans.
CHARLESTON, April 18.
In the fchr. Sally, capt. Halley, from Turk's Island, came passengers, capt. H. Hoffmin, will several officers and part of the crew of the Dutch 54 gun ship Sibella Antonietta, which vessel was lost on May-augana, on the 17th ult. on her passage from C. Francois to Amsterdam.
Captain Reynolds, from Port Republic,

informs, that 6000 French troops arrived there about the 26th ult. We have French papers to the 2d of March; but observe no mention of the troops destined for Louisiana.
Late intelligence from the Havanna, states, that the Spanish government had expressly forbidden the exportation of specie from that port.
An unfortunate accident occurred yesterday, upon Cooper river. Mr. Thomas Dewees, eldest son of Mr. Wm. Dewees, factor, in company with some other young men, were out on a party of pleasure; and in returning, the boat was upset by a law of wind off Town Creek. Mr. A. Howard and Mr. Dewees, attempted to swim ashore; the former nearly exhausted, succeeded; the latter sunk, within a few yards of the shore, and rose no more. The rest of the persons who were in the boat, got upon her bottom, and were taken off, by a boat passing by.
A small sailing boat was also upset off Fort Pinckney; she immediately filled and sunk. The captain of a schr. (Geyer) and his wife, with three sailors, were in the boat; but were fortunately picked up by some fishermen, who were near at hand. It is stated that Mrs. Geyer's clothes buoying her up, she by her fortitude and presence of mind, saved the life of her husband, who could not swim; and grasping him by the shoulders, bore him above the surface of the water, until assistance arrived.
Extract of a letter from captain Bragdon of the Rising States, dated Coos, Second March.
"On my passage to this port, I took up a negro 150 miles east of Charleston, in an open boat; had been 13 days at sea, and was then without victuals and drink. His name is Moody, the proper of Mr. Cooper of St. Simons, from which place he was blown out to sea."

WEDNESDAY, MAY 4.
Mr. Snowden. —Your giving the following instances of democratic deception a place in your paper, will oblige a friend to the deceived and oppressed; and a foe to deception and despotic oppression, under the garb of mild republicanism.
It is stated in the Aurora of March the 23d—That two frigates and three brigs are in commission to sail for the Mediterranean early in May. [This, as well as many other assertions equally false, we may believe was intended to act on the minds of the people as palliatives, until the elections of this spring were over.]—May is now arrived, and there has not been a frigate commissioned this year, and the brigs that were in contemplation for this service are not built. The term of service of two or three of the ships' crews, who are now in the naval service in the Mediterranean, who shipped for one year, have expired, and they are not relieved; there is no doubt but they will be obliged to return without relief, after staying several months over the time for which they engaged. Many our brave seamen who engaged in this service, were permitted by government to leave powers of attorney with their families to draw half of their monthly pay for their subsistence, for the term of one year from the time of those seamen's entering the service and no longer. Those powers of attorney of course have expired, and their wives and children may suffer for bread, until the fathers and husbands of those subjects of oppression return. This is a display of the liberality of the men who are at the head of our government. This is the manner in which we closely blockade Tripoli, to prevent a barbarous foe from committing piracies on our commerce, and enslaving our seamen and citizens, as was formerly urged by our President in his message to Congress. This is an instance of our wise, just, equitable and mild administration, that this great man, this sage of Monticello, so ingeniously promised us.
A COLUMBIAN.
DEMOCRATIC MODESTY. —The following is an extract from a late National Intelligencer. [F. T. Herald.]
"The justice of a total removal of Federalists can only be supported on the idea that the republicans are in all cases the best qualified to fill public stations. That this is generally the fact, we entertain but little doubt. We know full well that the great mass of the talent of the"
"nation is with them. This necessarily arises from the principles which actuate their politics."
As the superior qualifications of the democrats to fill public stations could have been so readily illustrated by examples, we wondered that some of them have not been instanced. We might have been told of a former Secretary of State (a good democrat) Mr. Edmund Randolph, who is the only man, who ever evinced his qualifications to fill public stations, by embezzling 51,000 dollars of the public money. Citizen Galiatin might next have been instanced, whose qualifications for office were first discovered by promoting an insurrection against the laws, and have since been displayed by his leaving in his documents (as his own friends acknowledged) only so small a sum as one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars unaccounted for. In a search of this kind the two Houses of Congress could not have been overlooked, who have proved their capacity as servants of the people by shutting their doors upon their lords and masters that they might secretly place two millions of their dollars in the hands of the President.
After contemplating this group of worthies, our attention might next have been naturally directed up to the man of the people himself. Here we could have been shown abundant proofs of his superior qualifications for the high station he fills. His exploits on Carter's Mountain would have satisfied us as to his heroism in the field; And his wisdom in the cabinet could have been equally apparent by his success in destroying our navy and then constructing a dry dock for its preservation: by watching our barbarous enemies in the Mediterranean with the smallest possible force, so effectually, that only a few of our ships and citizens have fallen into their hands: and by sending Minister Munroe to the Courts of Spain and France with TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in his pocket to purchase for us the use of one of our rivers, which an unauthorized individual had excluded. How amiably also could he have been arrayed in all the private virtues? For religion, his friend Paine would have readily vouched. And the receipts of Callender would prove his warm benevolence, his charity to the distressed and his obliging courtesy in publicly praising those, whose characters he thought it his duty secretly to destroy. As for the morality, if any of his enemies had expressed a doubt on that subject, they might have been referred to Mr. Walker and his lady or even to his own domestics.
But it seems that "the great mass of talent is with the democrats," and "this necessarily arises from the principles which decide their politics." Thus in plain English, the Democrats have the most talent, because they are Democrats. We beg our readers will not suffer themselves to be convinced by this ingenious reason till they have perused the following elegant and appropriate extract from the Gazette of the United States.
"Do the virtues, talents and patriotism of Washington, of Adams, of Jay, of Ellsworth, of Pinckney, of King, of Ames, of Pickering, of Hamilton, of Marshall, or of Dexter, fade in comparison with those which are now presented in the persons of the sage of Monticello, the Genevan secretary, or with those of our recently appointed Envoy to France, those of Mr. Charles Pinckney, or those of the Worcester Farmer!
"Is the silly vanity, boyish petulance, disgusting presumption, and aristocratic pride, of that contraction of a man, Randolph, more to be honoured, valued, and respected, than the extensive knowledge, the comprehensive mind, the discriminating judgment, the clear, close and conclusive reasoning of Griswold? Is the splenetic, malignant, scowling, and defamatory Giles more attic, more terse, more ethereal, more terrible in debate than Bayard? Is the shrewd Eustice, the spermaceti Dawson, the gaseous Doctor, the syllogistic Bacon, the half reasoning Davis, and the smirking, blundering, gabbling Smith, equal to him, whose wit and eloquence could make a Dumb Legislature speak, and a Randolph scold. Is the fat, waddling, unwieldy Senatorial grunter of speeches, borrowed from the presidential store, more vivid, more various, more interesting, more convincing, than the rhetoric of Morris? Is the dull, muddy, deleterious harangue of Brackenridge comparable to the deep, clear, full and resistless arguments of Tracy, or Ross? Is the frothy, the babbling, the
monotonous, the shapeless, the nameless nothings, that proceed from a Wright, to be weighed against the just observations and sound sense of honest Howard.
"Has the present Secretary of State more energy or character, more knowledge of men, more information relative to foreign nations, more correct views of the interest of his country, than the man upon whom malice and democracy and power have emptied the vials of their wrath? Has the present Secretary of the Treasury more financial skill, more extensive or minute acquaintance with the various objects, susceptible of impost, a superior facility to equalize taxes, and to render them agents in promoting the general industry and wealth of the Country, than has been evinced in the administration of Hamilton or Wolcott? Has the present Secretary of War "more or less" talents, knowledge, and genius, for a war minister, than Mr. M c Henry? Has Mr. Smith discovered more ability and information, necessary for well conducting the naval department, than Mr. Stoddart!
PARTIES. —The sedition law, a measure of the federalists to restrain the unbounded licentiousness of the press, and to secure its liberty within the pale of death, has been urged by the party as another potent objection against the federal administration. Some observations on this subject may be necessary. In systematizing the opposition to our government, a regular plan was adopted to open batteries upon every part of the federal system that should appear vulnerable. Democratic presses established for this purpose. The leaders of democracy, having the entire direction of these presses selected tools from among unprincipled foreigners, as fit instruments to carry into execution so nefarious a project. Art, fraught with a double portion of malignancy, presided over this ponderomian band. These engines of iniquity were soon set in motion, and a profusion of falsehood and abuse, against the government and its measures, overwhelmed the country. This unprecedented conduct; this boldness in calumny; this hardihood in publishing the vilest slanders against the government and its adherents, justly excited in our rulers a serious alarm.
To stop the current of abuse, which threatened indiscriminate destruction to every thing that bore the stamp of federalism; to counteract the designs of a party by confining their rancour to the expression of truth; to bridle the tongue of the liar, and to shield the government against the unprincipled attacks of its enemies, the sedition law was enacted. Much has been said of this law, but few perhaps have thoroughly understood it. It has been represented by a party as striking a death blow at the liberty of the press—it has been proclaimed and reiterated from one end of the country to the other as unjust and tyrannical, and many have been led to condemn it, without a knowledge either of its nature or effects. For the benefit of some of our readers, who perhaps have not attended to the subject, it may be necessary to observe, that the simple object of this law was to prevent the publication of falsehood; to keep within the bounds of truth all who should undertake to publish any thing against the government or individuals. Previous to the existence of this law, if there was any law on the subject, no person prosecuted for a libel could give the truth of the matter in evidence, as a justification; but was liable to conviction and punishment, even for publishing the truth. In a free government this was considered as a restraint upon the freedom of the press. To take off this restraint, & as an amelioration of the common law, it was determined that any thing might be spoken or published conformably to truth. This law then, was founded in a strict adherence to the principles of morality; it prohibited falsehood, it admitted truth, it secured the liberty, and guarded against the licentiousness of the press. And what honest man will say that such a regulation was injurious? What honest man will say that he requires more liberty of speech than to speak the truth? Who is there that wishes to publish falsehood? For to such only can the sedition law be a restraint. Yet this was a measure loudly censored by democracy, and charity itself cannot suggest any other cause for this censure, than that the mere publication of truths, would not effect the contemplated object. To poison the minds of the people, and to excite an odium against those who administered their government, a greater latitude was
requisite. To be obliged to speak the truth, would have blasted the growing prospects of the party. Duane and other emecrate rhetoricians had such a wonderful attachment to a certain figure of speech, denominated an hyperbole; they were so accustomed to outstrip the truth that to deny them this privilege amounted in fact to an interdiction of the press. Hence the universal cry of democracy against a law that would not suffer the utmost freedom of speech; that denied an unrestrained privilege of publishing the grossest falsehoods.
Whilst the resolutions for a repeal of the sedition act, were under discussion in Congress, it was contended by the advocates for a repeal, that no common law existed in this country on the subject of libels; that the press was, and ought to remain entirely uncontrolled; and that even a law, restricting publications within the limits of truth would operate as a restraint. This was a convenient doctrine at that period. But what is the language of the party now? since the designs of democracy are accomplished; since the ascendancy is gained, since falsehood has achieved its work; we hear loud complaints against the licentiousness of the press; restrictions are deemed necessary; the common law exists. Those champions of liberty, who advocated an uncontrolled freedom of the press and boldly denounced an act that punished falsehood, can deliberately bring propositions against federalists for speaking truth. Inconsistency is the leading feature of democracy. (Patriot.)

I LOST my service, on the morning of the first instant; negro MOSES, a black fellow about 21 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high; has a pleasant countenance, a large mouth, a small impediment in his speech when the least confused; his legs are rather small, and he is fond of liquor; his clothing are a short blue coat of coarse cloth, a swansdown waistcoat, and one of striped country cloth, two or three pair of trowsers of different kinds, one is striped country cloth, one Irish linen shirt, 1 or 2 oznaburg do. and a wool hat.
It is probable he may change his clothes, as I expect he has money with him, having stolen some from me, for which I whipped him on the 22d ult. and expect the marks of the whip will remain on his back for some days. I did not get half the money lost.
