Messrs. Snowden and Co.
HAVING observed in your paper bearing date the 5th inst. a publication where-in a certain Baldwin Dade terms me ignorant and stupid indeed—I am really astonished at his audacity and impertinence, knowing him not to possess but little more understanding than one bordering on idiot-ism. He also observes that the sum mentioned in my notice is dismissed; I grant it—But it was dismissed in Fairfax Court to bring it in a place where I could come sooner at justice, namely the Chancery Court of Alexandria, which writ has been served some time since, as will appear by the certificate hereto annexed. As to the balance of his publication, I assert it to be fallacious in the extreme.
I must beg leave to add, that for the future I shall not occupy a moment of my time in writing contradictorily to the fa-bulous assertions of said Dade, whose dia-bolical character is universally established. ROBERT ALEXANDER. ALEXANDRIA, June 5, 1802.

DECIUS.—No. VII.
I HAVE, heretofore, remarked that the most excellent committee of investigation had been pressed for time in making their report; they had only five months, and, of course, "the labor necessary to investigate such a mass of accounts," as those connected with the item on which I animalized in my last, "rendered it impossible for the committee to form an opinion, as to the manner in which the sum of twenty millions of dollars," whereof the eight nominal millions composed the unsettled balance, "had been expended." Here the cabalistic spirit again rides in the storm: "the dog-star again rages."—People of common understanding would have supposed that the labor, which is declared necessary in order to the investigation of the mass, would have been the principal, if not the only means of raising a possibility for the committee "to form an opinion as to the manner in which the sum had been expended;" but here it is said to be directly the reverse. This is another mighty effort of their magical skill.—What power can break this Gordian knot of unintelligible foolery? Out of their own mouths will I condemn them. The labor which they have deemed necessary to pull down the fair fabrics of reputation raised by the preceding administrations, will be as nugatory as their necessary accusations. "In all labor," said the wise man, "there is profit," but in the labor of vanity there is nothing but vexation. "They have sown the wind, and shall reap the whirlwind."
Almost at every step we tread on fairy ground. The common rules of judging, the vulgar maxims from which we were wont to draw conclusions, and on which to found our opinions, are become the very shadow of a shade. The mind is bewildered in paradoxes; the head confused with soliloquies urged under the semblance of logical gravity. If I held the pen of a Junius I would say to these committee men, "Really, gentlemen, this way of talking, for I can call it nothing else, is a mockery of the common understanding of the nation, too gross to be endured. If the ministry are unable to defend their cause by fair arguments, founded on facts, let them spare us at least the mortification of being amused and deluded like children." I would say to them, such stuff will serve for the food of the worthless understrappers who now batten in the rays of governmental munificence, whom Davenant describes as "an ignorant, mercenary, and servile crew; unanimous in evil, diligent in mischief, variable in principles, constant to flattery, talkers for liberty, but slaves to power;"—but, for Heaven's sake, consider the whole nation is not moon-struck. You tell us, that the voluminous documents accompanying the report were not received by you until the 9th of April, at the seat of government, distant 150 miles from here; and Mr. Duane tells us, and, mirabile dictu, truly tells us, that one of them, the precious document C. appeared in his filthy journal in Philadelphia four days before, on the 5th of April. Now both these stories may be true; the latter is true. And tho' I might venture to assert that my head is nominally on my shoulders, I should not be surprised, whilst in this region of bulls, to see it perched upon Christ-Church steeple, or actually rolling down the kennel. To hear you talk these things so seriously terrifies the mind, and makes it shrink with secret dread.
"Grave ne rediret "Seculum Pyrrha nova monstra quæstæ."
One sum you say has been expended without any legal authority; the expenditure of another could not be justified at any time much less at the time when it was made, and you sum up your essay with saying that considerable sums of the public money have been greatly misapplied, and that much expense has been incurred without any legal authority, and yet the short time which you were permitted to devote and the labor necessary, to the investigation of the mass of accounts, rendered it impossible for you to say, how the sum of twenty millions of dollars had been expended. Nay gentlemen I take your own story for this matter. I give your own statement word for word. Whether the sage of Clonmel drafted the report, or whether his mere presence infected you with the national propensity of his countrymen, it is not for me to determine. Your report is only a practical comment on the old proverbial saw—labor in vain.
We will, however, pass on to the next
charge in the report. "In the year(blank) a pile of buildings were commenced" "In what year of our Lord was that?" said my father: In no year at all" said my uncle Toby. However, the committee meant some year preceding the first of American Liberty, which glorious era commenced on the 4th of March, A. D. 1801. Well "a pile of buildings was commenced under the directions of the then secretary of war, on the banks of the Schuylkill, near Philadelphia, which have since been carried on in a manner highly expensive." After thus telling us the birth and growth of this expensive child (which tho' not yet grown to its full height, has already cost the United States 150,000 dolls.) the committee proceed to tell us, that it was called Laboratory , and that it has been raised out of the fund appropriated for the Quarter-master's department. Mr. Duane also informs us, that this Laboratory, contains quarters or barracks, for almost as many men as compose the body guard of the first servant of our sister republic. I was curious enough to wish to see these vast preparations for a standing-army , no doubt once intended to enslave this city, and accordingly walked out a few days since. Behold! I saw an immense quantity of arms, ammunition, and military stores, put up in good order and perfectly secure: I heard the good republicans who now have the care of them, with that the fourth building, which would complete the square were finished, as they had scarcely room enough for the public property. I was told, what had partially fallen under my own observation, that previous to the erection of these stores, the public property had been scattered about on the wharfs, in wooden sheds, in private ware-houses, and some of the cannon even buried in the earth; the public powder stored in a place, to which all the sellers of that article in the city, necessarily had access; that the government had been subjected to the payment of enormous rents for the storage of this property in those dispersed and dangerous situations, and that now all these scattered parcels were collected into one great and safe place of deposit. On returning home and looking into the estimate presented to Congress by the secretary of the treasury for the year 1801, I found the estimate rents in Philadelphia specified at 4,388 dollars, under the head of Ordnance Department, and store rent mentioned generally in the estimate from the navy department; also office and store rent in estimate of 165,000 dollars for the quarter master's department, but the particular sum not specified. I could not suppress a doubt that this specified sum might not be intended for the expense of a whole year, as I had just been told that the stores were generally removed early in 1801, but I have not documents to shew what rents were paid in 1800, or what the estimate for that year amounted to. I found however one document which appears to me to be important....It is a message from the President of the United States to Congress, accompanying a report of the secretary of war on certain expenditures, which concludes in the following manner—
"In addition to the above expenditures, the accounts of the quarter-master-general exhibited charges taken out of the fund for the quarter-master's department, to the amount of 113,852 dolls. and 23 cts. for disbursements on account of the U. States' Laboratory on the river Schuylkill, near the city of Philadelphia."
This message is dated 27th Feb. 1802, four days before the commencement of the reign of Jefferson and purity, 113,000 dollars had then been expended on this Laboratory, of course, 40,000 have been expended on the same object within the first year of the reign of their most gracious majesties. Now, let us ask, whence has Mr. Jefferson or the new secretary of war taken this sum of 40,000 dollars, unless from the same funds, from which the then secretary, under whose directions the pile was commenced, took the sum stated to Congress in Feb. 1801? Has the one only looked over the hedge and the other stolen the horse? Are not both equally culpable? I do not assert that any blame attaches to either of the administrations for their share in this transaction. I believe the expenditure was necessary and proper. I maintain that the surplus of an appropriation for the quarter-master's department was properly applied to an object of such importance, and of such great national utility: but when the attempt is made by men in so high a station to cast blame upon the originators, justice requires that the whole truth should be stated. The committee say "the pile of buildings have (Republicans have a right to murder the king's English) since been carried on in a manner highly expensive." I suppose since means from the commencement until the present time, especially as "the buildings are still in an unfinished state." Why not then declare in the report openly that this is the meaning? Has any appropriation been made for continuing or completing the buildings since the accession of the first Thomas? & if not, let us once again ask, whence has the sum of 40,000 dolls. expended on this pile, since the 27th Feb. 1801 been drawn, unless from the very surplus, from
which the 100,000 were taken and the expenditure of which the committee assert "could not be justified at any time?"
It will be proper also in this place to make another remark. The committee and their slaves have represented this master-piece of mystery to be a disclosure of many hidden crimes.—We think them for the hint. We observe, that in the case now under consideration; the last administration had themselves laid open their share in the transaction. Congress, knew, before they received the Report, exactly how much had been expended on this object, before the present reign; so that the committee, in this item, have only thrown their own friends into the pit which they ridiculously conceived they were digging for others. So be it.

Ship William, capt. Gardiner, in 34 days from London, and 32 days from the Downs, arrived at this port yesterday. Papers by this vessel to the evening of the 4th of May are received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
They inform us that the Mondovi brig arrived at Malta from Egypt on the 28th February, with the intelligence of the Mameluke chiefs having retired to Upper Egypt, and declared war against the Porte. Several bloody actions had taken place between them and the Grand Vizier, with various success. Sir Richard Bickerton was on the point of setting sail from Malta for Alexandria, to endeavour to put an end to these hostile operations.
The Hospodar of Wallachia has been defeated, and his army dispersed by Pashwan Oglou.
A convention dated the 2d March has been concluded between the Emperor of Germany and the Sublime Porte, by which the Ottoman government engages to protect against the attacks of the Barbary States all vessels belonging to subjects of his Imperial Majesty which shall be provided with a Turkish firman.
A letter from the Hague says that the English government has sent orders to the Moluccas to transport, before the British troops evacuate the island, all the feeds and plants of spices to Jamaica and Trinidad. Thus the commerce in spices, which the Dutch have hitherto enjoyed exclusively, and which has so materially contributed to enrich their merchants, will now be divided with Great Britain.
A conversation of considerable importance took place in the British House of Commons on the night of Monday the 3d May. Mr. WINDHAM stated his reasons for giving notice of a motion respecting the Definitive Treaty, and entered into a detail of the objections which had been thrown out at different times in both houses by gentlemen of his opinion—Mr. PITT defended the Definitive Treaty against Mr. WINDHAM's attack, but desired the full statement of his arguments until the promised motion should be made. He said however, with respect to the apprehensions expressed for the safety of the British East-India dominion, in consequence of the non-renewal of former treaties, that not only no English Member of Parliament could find any solid ground of objection or uneasiness, but that no rival could discover a plausible pretence for cavil on that account.—He defended generally the non-renewal on treaties; and contended that the advantage of the omission was as great on the part of England as France. Mr. WINDHAM's notice was of a motion for Tuesday the 18th of May; but Mr. ADDINGTON moved, as an amendment, Tuesday the 11th. The reason he gave for this was, the necessity of terminating the work of peace (already too long suspended) as speedily as possible.
In the course of his observations respecting the Definitive Treaty, remarking on the cession of Louisiana to the French, Mr. WINDHAM said,
By this acquisition the French are established in a space as unbounded as the view it opens, whether north or south. What a present have we made in it to the Americans! We have placed a serpent at their feet, by which they will ultimately be devoured. We have put them in that state in which they must become willing slaves under the dominion of France. We all know that men detest the instrument less than the cause, and turn their resentment upon those whom they can make to feel it most. They will not of course hesitate between us and the French: and thus we shall eventually forfeit the friendship of America by the aggrandizement of the French in that quarter. As to the wealth which this establishment opens to them, it has no limits but their will. On the continent of South America there is no power that can resist them. There are the sources of the wealth of the world; but if Gentlemen do not feel the consequence of their passing into the hands of the French, it would be in vain for me to impress them with an idea of their importance."
To this part of Mr. Windham's Speech, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, (Mr. Addington) replied:
"In the climax of reasons that the hon. Gentleman had gone through, he laid considerable stress on the dangers
which menaced the independency of the American States from the French having a settlement in Louisiana. Undoubtedly every accession to the French power in that part of the world, and every thing that threatened the independence of the United States was ground of serious apprehension; but was it only from Louisiana that France could make the attack, if she had such power and was so disposed? Did the hon. Gentleman pretend to say that if a large military force was sent to Guinea, it may not from thence be made to act with altogether as much effect? Did he mean to say that the attempt might not be made from St. Domingo, if that island was brought under proper subjection, and made the depot of an armament intended for that purpose; if finally, the countries themselves was not disposed to assert their own independence, and Great Britain was inclined to look tamely on? It was therefore, not from Louisiana alone that the power of France was to be dreaded, but from many other quarters equally."
At the date of our last accounts from Paris, a new code of public instruction has been agreed to by the tribunate, and was under discussion by the Legislative Body. The revolutionary names which many of the public hospitals were distinguished, and which tended to destroy those recollections that encourage Benevolence by doing honor to the benefactor, are to be abolished, and the original names restored.

On Thursday arrived at Salem the schr. Atlantic, capt. James Odell, 19 days from the Havanna. He informs that since the great fire at the Village (which is estimated to have destroyed upwards of 5000 houses) daily attempts have been made to set fire to the Regulas and Alibacore, towns in the neighbourhood of the Havanna; but owing to the exertions of many American coopers who reside in those places, the fires had been extinguished without much damage. It was supposed that these fires were kindled, in order to induce the admission of the Americans with flour, as the inhabitants were in great want of the common products of their soil, owing to a continued drought of nine months; but it had no effect, and the government rigidly adhered to their exclusion. Flour was at 50 dollars the barrel. Capt. O. left at the Havanna about 40 sail of Americans; none belonging to the northward of Cape Cod.
A letter received at Newburyport, from Martinique, dated May 5, says—"The French are to take possession of this island the 27th May."
Extract of a letter from a citizen of the U. States in France, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Bordeaux, 31st March, 1802.
It is long since I should have written to you, but have been waiting an answer to my letter to General La Fayette, to whom, soon after my arrival here, I forwarded the pamphlets, which you entrusted to my care. It is more than probable they were intercepted by the government, whose despotic way tyrannizes over every vestige of liberty! On my arrival at Paris, in January last, I expected to have found that unfortunate man; but it seems after that he had obtained permission to return to his native land, the reception he met with was cold beyond description; after dancing attendance on the First Consul, who suffered the General to remain unnoticed in the anti-chamber as often as he went there, a message was delivered him, to withdraw himself from the capital, and to reside for the future in a town allotted him; it is about 60 miles from Paris—and there he was when last I heard of him.
It is impossible to describe to you the disappointment I experienced upon witnessing the melancholy alteration which the revolution has occasioned in this country. Freedom, or any one rational principle of liberty, no longer exists here. All those noble sentiments which once animated the band of heroes, are now no more; they have given way to a course of libidinous practices, profligacy of manners, and of
the grossest sensuality, that it is possible for the human mind to shudder at; this view is not exaggerated; and many are the instances I could give you of its truth; of the women the abandoned are truly lost to all shame, and those who affect to reserve some claim to character, by the immodesty of their dress, shock the mind of those who are unaccustomed to such fashions; the gallantry (as it is falsely called) of the men, serves to feed this spirit of depravity, and with very few is this course thought disgraceful: indeed the infidelity of a married woman is not any bar to her admission into the first societies—she is called amiable—there appears to be very little, if any, distinction of time, if at any one period more than another, their dissipation appears at a greater height, it is on the Lord's day; it is on the evening of that day that they have their balls, masquerades, and gaming-tables; and night is turned into day; during our stay here, which has been near five months, there has been no end to this disgraceful rout.
Hard indeed would it be if there were not exceptions to this multiplied scene of iniquity. There are some families who still keep up, at least the outward observance of religious duties; amongst the many persons with whom I dined, there was only one man who ever asked a blessing on his food, and he was an Irish Catholic; amongst all others attentive to their children, I found one who made her little girl say her prayers on going to bed, and another who engaged the minister to visit her two daughters grown up, to instruct them in the paths of piety and virtue. But were I to unfold the opposite scenes I have witnessed, scarcely would the recital obtain credit.
Every thing is reduced to the level of sensuality, and this system has introduced with it a prevailing belief in the materiality only of our existence—and what with the faith of the one, and the practice of the other, their effects are direful. Marriage, the first and best of all social contracts, has little else but the exterior of the person to hold the bond, and when the mind is satiated, the attachment is dissolved, even men who have long lived in domestic harmony, coolly talk of a period when love is dead, and when esteem takes its place. With such a system, I trust, my dear friend, we shall never be acquainted.
In this large and populous city there are yet some places of worship open, amongst which there is one belonging to the protestants, which is well attended—The mode of worship is formed partly upon the plan of the Anglican and partly on that of the Presbyterian churches. There is no surplice used, instead of which one of the elders begins the service with reading a prayer, then the confession of sins, both from the church of England service—then two chapters, one from the Old, the other from the New Testament, upon both of which he reads the Genevan Commentary. After which they sing; the minister then ascends the pulpit, taking the book from the elder; he reads another formulary, and then they sing again; after which he makes another prayer, memoriter not an extempore prayer, for it is always the same, concluding with our Lord's words "Our father, &c." he then takes the bible, having deliberately read the text twice, he lays the book by & delivers generally an animated discourse from memory of from 40 to 50 minutes; they then sing; after which the minister continues the reading of some forms of prayer, concluding with the creed, the same as in the Church of England; they then sing a verse, and the minister concludes with pronouncing the benediction; when the congregation separate. All is conducted with considerable outward decorum;—you may ask me, my dear friend, what spirit accompanies this outward service Ah, my dear sir, I dare not judge! when I see you, I will relate some conversations that have passed between the minister and me, that may throw some light on this subject: at present I will mention one pleasing thing; on Easter Sunday next, about 10 days hence, there are to be admitted into communion with the church, for the first time, upwards of fifty young persons of both sexes; and their pastor has been for some months past, truly assiduous in his visits to these young folks—so that the form is yet alive. God grant that the spirit may be refreshed. Nor is this all that is good which I have to communicate to you—their famous or infamous calender, as it respected the Christian religion, is now no more!—Bonaparte gave it a few weeks since its coup de grace.—Their division of months is reserved, but the decades the 10th day, is abolished,
and in future the seventh is to be observed as a day of rest, on which day all the public offices are to be shut up, and I had last Lord's day, in going to church, the inexhaustible satisfaction to see the custom house shut up. So that perhaps this is the beginning of a revival. The change gave universal satisfaction, and will inevitably serve to strengthen Bonaparte's enormous power.
With great esteem, I am, &c.
TO NOAH WEBSTER, ESQ.
I am one of those who approve of your plan of a National Dictionary, or standard of American English. If you have proceeded so far, request you will favor the public with an explanation of the word gentleman , it should at present be understood in this country. The appellation has become so common, that one might readily suppose it was sometimes intended by way of ridicule, or at least made use of without an appropriate signification.
The term is no doubt often used by way of courtesy or compliment, but as its meaning is somewhat ambiguous, query, whether it may or may not be properly applied to a person of an improved mind , who has been taught and practises the established rules of good breeding, and is upright in his dealings; without taking into view the circumstances of fortune, family, or employment?
I am inclined to think the common acceptance of the word friendship , is also very vague and uncertain; and wish to know if the following may be considered as its proper sense and import. It is believed that real friendship is, where a mutual esteem and attachment subsists between two persons, arising from an opinion entertained by each that the other is possessed with such good qualities, that he can safely trust him with all his interests and concerns, with entire confidence.
If this be the true meaning of the word, friendship may then be considered as existing in sentiment; and such good opinion will produce not only esteem and confidence but acts of disinterested beneficence. It may however be a question, whether reciprocal friendship is not very uncommon where there is not something like a parity in regard to fortune, as well as several other circumstances; and if there are not more of its pleasures enjoyed by people in the middle ranks of life.
It is supposed the meaning of the word Flattery is understood by most people, but I wish to know which is most to be despised, a person who is in the habit of addressing himself in the designing and ambiguous language of a flatterer, and with an indifference as to truth; or he, who, by listening to such language, is willingly made the dupe of his own vanity? An elevated mind can neither be pleased with flattery, nor condescend to praise falsely.
When you say a Man of Honor, you no doubt mean a man of principle; and I wish to know what we are to suppose is his governing motive of action, whether a sense of religion and found philosophy, or merely a love of character, or both? A PHILADELPHIAN. [Gaz. U. S.]
