FROM THE FARMER'S REGISTER.
The first glance of the above letter [the letter lately inserted in the N. Int.] brought to my mind a conversation I had with Mr. Trenor, of this village, about two years ago, on the same subject and other concurrent circumstances convinced me that that gentleman was the author. I therefore called on him & showed him the New-York Public Advertiser containing the letter, which he acknowledged to have written, observing at the same time, that he had never intended it for publication, nor had he any idea that it would be published when he wrote it. The federal papers of New-York having since undertaken to question the authenticity of this letter, induced Mr. Trenor to send me the following communication, which I received on Friday last.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE FARMER'S REGISTER.
Lansingsburg, April 10, 1807.
Sir,
Having seen a copy of a letter in the Public Advertiser, copied from the National Intelligencer—and having also seen remarks on the same letter in the federal prints, in which it is roundly asserted that "this letter is a false calumny fabricated in the city of New-York for electioneering purposes," &c. I think it a duty I owe the public & myself to avow that I am the author of this letter.
The arguments of truth are so simple, and her language is so nicely adapted to all capacities, that it will force conviction on the foolish as well as on the wise. Will Mr. King or his friends point out a paragraph in this letter and say it is a falsehood? I know he will not—he knows he cannot. The case then resolves itself into one of these two questions:—Did Mr. King, in this business, act an under part in conjunction with the British government and which was not contemplated or allotted to him by his country?—or did Mr. King act by the express orders of his government? If the former be true—then all the wealth, he possesses, could not compensate for the mighty wrongs he has occasioned me. If the latter, I have only to bow in respectful silence, and implore the Divine disposer of all events that we may never witness such a government again.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
THOMAS TRENOR.
Mr. King has declared, since his return to America, that he acted in the above business conformably to the orders of his government, and that declaration being made to Mr. Trenor satisfied that gentleman. If this declaration is true, it will be easy for Mr. King to show the documents authorizing such conduct. But it appears from the subjoined letter from Mr. King to Mr. Henry Jackson, that he had no such orders from his government. I have neither time nor room for remarks on this letter. The public will draw their own conclusions. I will only add that Mr. King wrote this letter to Mr. Jackson subsequent to his correspondence with Mr. Trenor, while in Europe.

Copy of a letter from Mr. Rufus King, the American Minister at the Court of London, to Mr. Henry Jackson, one of the Irish State Prisoners.
Brighton, Aug. 18, 1799.
Sir,
"I ought to inform you, that I really have no authority to give or refuse permission to you or any other foreigner to go to the United States; the admission and residence of strangers in that country being a matter, that, by a late law,* exclusively belongs to the President. It is true that the government of this country in the course of the last year, in consequence of my interference, gave me assurance, that a particular description of persons in Ireland, who it was understood were going to the United States, should not be allowed to proceed without our consent: this restraint would doubtless be withdrawn in favor of individuals against whose emigration I should not object; and I conclude, that it is upon this supposition, that you have taken the trouble to communicate to me your desire to go & reside in the United States. Without presuming to form an opinion on the subject of the late disturbances in Ireland, I entertain a distinct one in relation to the political situation of my own country. In common with others, we have felt the influence of the changes
that have successively taken place in France, and, unfortunately, a portion of our inhabitants has erroneously supposed that our civil and political institutions, as well as our national policy, might be improved by a close imitation of the models of France. This opinion, the propagation of which was made the duty and became the chief employment of the French agents resident among us, created a more considerable division among our people, and required a greater watchfulness and activity from the government, than could before have been apprehended. I am sorry to make the remark, & shall stand in need of your candor in doing so, that a large proportion of the emigrants from Ireland, and especially in our middle states has, upon this occasion, arranged itself on the side of the malecontents . I ought to except from this remark, most of the enlightened and well educated Irishmen, who reside among us, and, with a few exceptions, I might confine it to the indolent and illiterate, who, entertain an attachment to freedom & are unable to appreciate those literary restraints without which it degenerates into anarchy. It would be in vain to say that the Irish emigrants are more national than those of other countries, yet being a numerous though very minor portion of our population, they are capable from causes it is needless now to explain, of being generally brought to act in concert, and under artful leaders may be, as they have been, enlisted in mischievous combinations against our government. This view leads me to state to you without reserve, the hesitation that I have felt in your case; on the one hand, we cannot object to the acquisition of inhabitants from abroad, possessing capital and skill in a branch of business that with due caution may without risk or difficulty, and with public as well as private advantage, be established among us; but, on the other hand, if the opinions of such inhabitants are likely to throw them into the class of malecontents, their fortune, skill, and consequent influence, would make them ten fold more dangerous, and might become a disadvantage instead of a benefit to our country. You must be sensible that I possess no sufficient means of forming an opinion respecting your sentiments, but the motives which lead me to interfere with your government to restrain the emigration of the persons above alluded to, oblige me to observe a due caution on the present occasion: at the same time, I desire not to act with illiberality, and should be unwilling to bring upon my country the slightest imputation of inhospitality.
What Mr. Wilson has written, so far as it goes, is satisfactory; and on the whole I have concluded, after this unreserved communication, which I hope will be received with the same candor as it is made, to inform you, authorizing you to make use of the information, that I withdraw every objection that may be supposed to stand in the way of your being permitted to go to the U. S. adding only my earnest wish, that you may carry with you an unbiased mind, may find the state of the country, as I believe you will, favorable to your views of business, and its government deserving your attachment.
I must beg your excuse for the great delay that has occurred in sending you this answer, which I assure you, has arisen from other causes than the want of due respect to your letters.
With great consideration
I have the honor to be, sir,
Your most obedient servant,
RUFUS KING.

National Intelligencer.
The following is that part of the trial of sir Home Popham , to which we referred in our last paper, as proving the participation of the British administration in Miranda's Expedition :
In his defence sir Home Popham says, "I trust I shall be able to shew, that the direction I received was not only such as, under the circumstances, was fairly admissible, but such as the ministers, under whose orders I sailed to the Cape of Good Hope, fully warranted by their concurrent opinions, at least by the concurrent opinions of those who were understood by all to hold the leading influence in that administration. I shall, however, not only shew that an expedition to South America was a favorite object with Mr. Pitt, that he had it in contemplation, and actually took some steps to carry it into execution in the course of his former administration; but that he never lost sight of it, being only restrained from attempting the execution of it by political reasons, which no longer existed, when I felt it my duty, for the interest of my country, to proceed from the Cape of Good Hope upon this long projected expedition. In course of the year 1804, a change occurred in the government of the country; soon after which I was appointed to the Antelope in the Downs, for the purpose of blockading the harbor of Boulogne, in the absence of admiral Louis. While I commanded that ship, lord Melville , then first lord of the admiralty, corresponded with me on the subject of Miranda's plan , and on my coming to town in the month of October of that year (at which period the probability of a Spanish war had increased) his lordship directed me to consult again with gen. Miranda , and to digest my ideas on the subject of an expedition against the Spanish settlements in South America, in the form of a memoir. To the best of my recollection, I delivered this document to lord Melville , on the 16th of October, 1804. Shortly after, I was directed to attend Mr. Pitt, at Wimbleton , in order that he might converse with me on the various points comprehended in my memoir. In the month of December, 1804, I was sent for by his majesty's ministers to Deal, and at the same time the Diadem , to which ship I was appointed, was put in commission for the express purpose of my proceeding in her on the intended expedition to South America. Various circumstances, however, occurred to retard the execution of this project; but with the exception of the short interval of peace, it had never been relinquished, from the moment when the idea was first suggested. These facts, as far as lord Melville was concerned, his lordship will substantiate. In July, 1805, I received an account of the weak state of the garrison of the Cape of Good Hope, and also learnt that a strong squadron was expected there from France. Conceiving that the capture of this settlement, while it would materially contribute to promote the interest of my country, might likewise afford facilities to the projected conquest of the Spanish dependencies on the East coast of South America—which was a main object in the mind of Mr. Pitt, I immediately proposed to him that an armament should sail without delay for the attack of the Cape. This proposal was acceded to, and, in the course of a few days, I received my instructions to proceed in the Diadem , as commanding officer of all his majesty's ships and vessels destined for that service. Mr. Sturges Bourne, then one of the secretaries of the treasury, was present at the conversation to which I here allude, and will corroborate my account of what passed on the occasion. On the 29th of July, 1805, I took final leave of Mr. Pitt, with whom I had a long conversation on the original project of an expedition to South America. Mr. Pitt informed me that, from the negotiation then pending with Russia, it appeared that the emperor Alexander was extremely anxious to attach Spain to the coalition, and that until that matter should be determined, he (Mr. Pitt) felt a delicacy in regard to the commencement of hostile operations in South America; but that, as soon as possible after such an overture should have been rejected by the Spanish court, it was his fixed intention to enter on the original project, and attack Spain in that district, but most vulnerable quarter. I lament extremely that any proceeding should have made it necessary for me to state these particulars relative to the calculations upon a Spanish alliance, but the fault is not mine. Anything that serves to show the value attached by those from whom I derived my appointment to that object, for the execution of which I am now brought before you as a delinquent, is manifestly proper and requisite for my justification. From what I have stated, it will, I am confident, appear evident to every member of this honorable court, that it the attack on the Cape of Good Hope proceeded that on the Spanish settlement, the priority was the result of my own
immediate suggestion to the late prime minister. It will likewise, I am persuaded, appear not less obvious to every unprejudiced mind, that on my interview with that illustrious statesman, he fully & unequivocally strengthened the conviction which I entertained of his intentions to follow up the capture of the Cape, by an attack on the Spanish settlements; for at this final interview, Mr. Pitt desired me to furnish Mr. Huskisson with a memorandum of the names of the gentlemen from whom he was likely to obtain any further information he might want on the subject. Mr. Pitt was then leaving the secretary's room at the treasury, to go into the board room; and Mr. Huskisson coming in at the other door just at the moment, I instantly communicated to him the substance of what had passed. The veracity of this allegation will be confirmed to this honor court by the testimony of Mr. Huskisson.
"When this chain of facts shall have been completely established by the concurrent depositions of lord Melville , Mr. Sturges Bourne and Mr. Huskisson, it will not be necessary for me to urge this hon. court, that on my leaving England, I sailed under the strongest conviction, that after having succeeded in taking the Cape, nothing would contribute so effectually to accomplish the views of those ministers by whom I had been entrusted with command, as to strike a blow in South America, before the Spaniards should be prepared against it. In fact, as there was a necessity for the squadron under my command to touch at St. Salvatore for water, on its passage from England to the Cape, it was naturally to be apprehended from the constant communication between St. Salvatore and the Rio de la Plata, that every information respecting the naval and military force of the armament would be transmitted to the governors of Monte Video and Buenos Ayres. Therefore, under every view of the subject, it was most advisable not to defer the attack on the Spanish possessions. Urgent, however, as these considerations may appear, they were not sufficiently powerful to fix my attention altogether on the immediate execution of the project referred to. Various circumstances remained to be weighed, and examined, but none more particularly than the original cause of delay stated by Mr. Pitt, namely, the anxiety of the emperor of Russia to attach Spain to the coalition forming on the continent of Europe, at the time I sailed from England.
"Early in February, 1806, I received accounts of the termination of the war in India. In the course of the same month I also received the news of lord Nelson's glorious victory off Trafalgar , and the account of a general coalition against France, from an alliance with which power it was evident the emperor Alexander had not been able to detach Spain. Towards the end of February, a Danish vessel, which arrived at the Cape, brought English newspapers, giving an account of the fate of the Austrians."
We have next the following letter to Sir Home Popham by a member of the administration:
"DEAR SIR,
I have received your letter of the 31st April, from St. Helena, and also the papers relative to Miranda's expedition. If the last had been communicated to me before you sailed from England, I might have hoped to have been useful in promoting it; but the misfortune of Mr. Pitt's death, and the natural change that has taken place in the administration of public affairs, has I am afraid, rendered all these views abortive. I can say nothing decisive on your present expedition, as it must depend on your knowledge of the state of the Cape when you took it; but if I had continued in the administration, I should have been disposed to have given full credit to your intentions. Public affairs are in a state of uncertainty—negotiations are on foot, and lord Lauderdale sent over to Paris. The country is sanguine, and I hope with reason: but Mr. Fox's state of health must be a weight in the opposite scale. It is said that sir David Baird , as well as yourself, will be recalled; I trust, however, that you will succeed in your attempt before that day happens. I sincerely wish you success. I have not seen your dispatches to the admiralty board, having no acquaintance with the first lord.
I am, however, With most esteem, your's, BARHAM."
The evidence of Lord Melville , first lord of the Admiralty, follows. The testimony of several subordinate officers of the government is added, all in confirmation of that of lord Melville .
" Lord Melville was the first witness who was called and was examined by sir Home Popham .
Q. Will your lordship have the goodness to relate all the circumstances in your recollection respecting the conversation that I held with Mr. Pitt and your lordship, collectively or individually, as relating to the subject on the sub-
ject of the expedition to South America?
[After an understanding that question touching any state secret should be put, the noble lord replied.]
A. Soon after I came to the head of the board of admiralty, I had occasion to see that the administration preceding that of which I had formed a part, had communication with General Miranda relative to some projects entertained relative to South America. I did not immediately give much attention to that subject, because, not being then at war with Spain, it did not occur to me how, consistently with that situation the government of this country could take any active part. In the summer of 1804, and particularly towards the autumn of that year, I had little doubt in my own mind, from the official information I had occasion to receive at the board of admiralty, and from the communication with the heads of other public departments, I had little doubt that such a war must soon take place. I therefore thought it my duty to see sir Evan Nepean , sir H. Popham , and others, who I had reason to think, were acquainted with the particulars which had passed under former administrations, to inform myself more immediately relative to the views and projects of General Miranda . I likewise had more than one confidential conversation with General Miranda himself. The result was, an opinion, that although it might not be wise or expedient, or perhaps, within the means of this country at that time to commit themselves fully to the extent of this project, it was of the utmost importance to the interests of this country so far to watch the progress of his operations, and to make use of them, if they could be made subservient to the purpose of opening the South American market to the trade and manufactures of this country; and upon that principle I had, as on every other public subject, almost daily communication, both in town and at Wimbleton , with Mr. Pitt, at the time of the government with which I was conversant. The subject was more familiar to my consideration, because for many years past, particularly in 1759, I had occasion to consider it very maturely, with a view of preparing, in concert with the then board of admiralty, operations against South America on a very extensive scale. I was at that time Secretary of state for the war department. In consequence of the conversation I had with Mr. Pitt, as already mentioned, about the month of October or November, 1804, or about the time the war broke out with Spain, I desired sir Home Popham to attend, in order that he might be at hand to attend Mr. Pitt and myself at any time we should have occasion to talk to him, and, I think, about the same time a ship, the Diadem , I believe. (Here the noble lord read a letter, addressed by his lordship to sir Home Popham , during his attendance in town.) Sir Home Popham came to town, and I had communications with him, in consequence of the various communications I had with Mr. Pitt; and these communications continued during the remaining period I remained at the admiralty. I ceased to be in that situation immediately after the 8th of April, 1805. I had many interviews with Mr. Pitt after that period, and indeed during the whole period of his life, till our final separation at Bath, the beginning of the year 1806—but from the time I ceased to be his colleague in office, I made it an inviolable rule to avoid all conversation with him upon subjects of a public or confidential nature: so that from my own knowledge, I can speak to nothing after the 8th of April, 1805. It occurs to me at this moment, as not improbable, that the case of South America, in the vicinity of Trinidad, was probably at one time looked upon as a probable scene of operations.
Q. Upon hearing of the capture of Buenos Ayres, did your lordship consider it an acquisition materially advancing the great object which Mr. Pitt and your lordship had in view with respect to South America?
A. No doubt; Buenos Ayres appeared to me as highly beneficial for the object I had always had in view; but I am by no means certain, if I may not have taken that impression from the circumstance of Buenos Ayres having been one of the specific objects in view, when the armament was in contemplation in 1796.
Q. Can you recollect of my having been confidentially employed on various objects both in the late and present war, by some of the members of the cabinet, by your lordship and lord Grenville ?
A. It is merely to answer that general question, I shall have no hesitation to answer. I certainly know that sir H. Popham was employed confidentially by the members of the cabinet at the time alluded to.
Q. Is it in your lordship's recollection, that in the execution of the various confidential services, circumstances arose, which were not at the moment of writing my instructions provided for, nor indeed could they be. But I, under those circumstances, exercised very enlarged discretion to obtain the great

object upon which I was employed, particularly alluded to one of my missions to the court of Petersburg. Mr. Jarvis objected to the question as irrelevant to the case, but waived it. A. I should wish to state, that I should be embarrassed in this question; I can give a general answer, but I am afraid I may be led to disclosures that may be improper.
Lord M. (who answered) I am ready to state generally, that on all occasions when he was confidentially employed, his conduct received the approbation of government in the execution of it; but I trust, I will not be called upon to enter into more particular explanations.
Q. Does your lordship recollect, at what time it was that sir Home Popham was appointed to the Diadem?
A. I cannot recollect at the precise time, except from the letter I have already mentioned, 1 Dec. 1804, when there.
Q. Does your lordship recollect, whether the negotiation this government was carrying on with the court of Spain for an amicable adjustment of the differences between her and this country, had not terminated unsuccessfully before that?
A. I cannot from memory fix the precise time; but I make no doubt it was a short time after the date of this letter, as I remember the accounts came recently before the meeting of Parliament.
Q. Was sir H. Popham appointed to the Diadem, with a view of carrying on offensive operations against Spanish South America, and what part of it in particular?
A. I believe sir H. Popham was appointed to that ship, with the view of co-operating with gen. Miranda, to the extent of taking advantage of any of his proceedings which might tend to our obtaining a position on the continent of South America, favorable to the trade of this country, but I do not recollect any specific place being fixed upon.
Q. Your lordship has said you had many confidential conversations with respect to gen. Miranda's plans and views, and that the result of those conversations was, an opinion that, altho' it might not be wise or essential, or perhaps within the means of this country, at that time, to commit themselves fully to the extent of his projects, it was of the utmost importance to the interests of his country, so far to watch the progress of this operation, as to make use of them, if they could be made subservient to the purpose of opening the South American market to the trade and manufactures of this country: was that the object your lordship had in view at that time, when you appointed sir Home Popham to the Diadem; and did your lordship continue to entertain the same objects, to the same extent only, during the remainder of the time you presided at the Admiralty?
A. It was with a view, mentioned in the question, that I appointed sir H. Popham to the Diadem, and I do not recollect that, during the period afterwards, while I remained at the admiralty, government had in contemplation any plan upon a more extensive scale.
Q. Was sir H. Popham appointed by your lordship to any command sufficient to authorise him to attack any part of S. America?
A. Certainly not, in the proper sense of the orders.
Q. Are there any notes or official documents in the records of the admiralty, to your lordship's recollection, stating the object for which sir H. Popham was appointed to the Diadem?
A. I cannot speak with absolute certainty, but I think not.
Q. Your lordship said that, speaking of Buenos Ayres, one of the specific objects in view, when the armament was in contemplation in 1796, had your lordship that place in your view at any time since, the breaking out of the Spanish war, up to the time your lordship retired from the Admiralty?
A. At all times, and in every conversation I had with Mr. Pitt on the subject, I make no doubt Buenos Ayres was often the subject of discussion. My reason for being so confident in that opinion, is, that all the considerations I ever gave to the subject of South America, whether the attack was to be made on a smaller or larger scale, I always considered the Rio de la Plata as a most important position to the interests of G. Britain, on that side of S. America.
Q. Whether it was declared upon by his majesty's late ministers to attack Buenos Ayres? and whether sir Home Popham was appointed to any command for that purpose?
A. I do not believe that his majesty's government collectively did ever come to any resolution of making an attack on S. America; and it will be recollected that I have already stated, and it was only for a few months in the year 1805, that I remained in office.
President—When sir Home Popham was employed by his majesty's ministers, and having used his discretion, had his conduct been approved of? was he employed as a captain in his majesty's navy, or on service of a nature distinct and different from the naval service?
A. He came under those of the latter description, except one circumstance, the Red Sea, which may be excepted.
Q. Does your lordship recollect, directing me to attend Mr. Pitt at Windsor, some time in the month of October, 1804, when there was nobody present but your lordship and Mr. Pitt to explain gen. Miranda's views, and discuss the objects to which he was anxious to call the attention of ministers?
A. I remember perfectly such conversation having taken place, but I cannot charge my memory with the particular month. I recollect perfectly well having received a memoir, being very glad to know the full extent of gen. Miranda's views, but certainly avoided committing myself or the British government of England, beyond the object I have already stated—I mean the market of S. America, upon which subject I have certainly entertained a most anxious wish, almost from the hour I had occasion to continue in the public concerns more immediately under my consideration: and that anxiety certainly has never diminished but much increased, in consequence of all the events which for some years past have taken place in the East Indies, the West Indies, and above all on the continent of Europe.
Q. In consequence of your lordship's great pressure of business it is possible you may not recollect the probable circumstances relating to this object so well as myself, who had nothing else to remember, but you may possibly recollect that you desired me to draw up the memoir in question?
A. I certainly employed you so to do, and I thought I had so expressed myself before.
Q. Does your lordship recollect, that when you did me the honor to appoint me to the Diadem, it was my sole view to bring into execution, either some part, or the whole of the plan submitted to your consideration in the above recited memorandum?
A. I do recollect, that when sir Home Popham was appointed to the Diadem, the object then immediately in view, was to co-operate with the general, in such objects mentioned in the memoir as might be thought conducive to the interests of G. Britain.
Q. Does your lordship recollect whether the intention of employing me on this subject, was so far advanced, as to bring under your contemplation the part in which I was to be employed, and the limits of discretion to pursue it successfully in the first object, or to follow up whatever other might appear to me most salutary in advancing the general good, by opening the markets of South America for the enterprise of our merchants?
A. I know certainly, that the general object was the S. American markets, but I cannot speak to any further details of it with that precision at such a distance of time, as the business was not so far advanced as to be the subject of detailed statement.
Sir H. Popham—Q. Was it customary to enter a minute at the Board of Admiralty, when an officer was selected by the cabinet, or the leading member, to make the necessary arrangements for secret service, which was afterwards to be submitted to their consideration?
A. Certainly not, to the best of my recollection."
REMARKS. From the foregoing, it appears that the British government have for a considerable time directed their attention to the Spanish possessions in South America.
That their conquest was a favorite object of Mr. Pitt, the prime minister, who is allowed to have controlled the measures of the administration.
That it was likewise a favorite object with lord Melville, a very influential member of the Cabinet, and first lord of the admiralty.
That for the purpose of furthering their views both these gentlemen had frequent and confidential communications with Miranda and sir Home Popham.
And it is a fact that while the latter effected the important capture of Buenos Ayres, the former fitted out an expedition from this country.
That both these expeditions were parts of the same scheme cannot admit of doubt, when we consider the circumstances admitted, and the coincidence of time.
Neither was openly or officially authorised. That of Popham, because an attempt was making by the emperor Alexander to bring Spain into the coalition against France; and that of Miranda, for reasons of a still more imperious nature.
England had a right to authorise such direct hostile measures as she pleased against her enemy. But she had no right to authorise, or even to countenance the carrying on such measures from a nation at peace both with her and with Spain. She did, however, notwithstanding, sanction them, and furnish, we have no doubt, supplies for their accomplishment, in violation of good faith towards the United States, and it is fairly to be presumed, with a view likewise not merely of advancing her own interests, but of embroiling the United States with her enemies. She calculated, that Spain would consider such an expedition, fitted out from the United States, as virtually authorised by the United States, and it is not at all improbable that this hope was strengthened by a knowledge of the intriguing and disaffected character of the Spanish Minister, to whose assiduous efforts to convert his personal differences into a rupture between the two nations she was no stranger. Such was probably the harvest which the cunning man then at the head of the admiralty expected to reap from the project in the furtherance of which he went hand in hand with the prime minister.
This disclosure of facts will add another to the numerous lessons we have received on the folly of considering the British government as guided by any other motives than those of self interest; not on that enlarged and liberal scale in which self interest becomes identified with general philanthropy, and invariably actuated by pure motives disdains to pursue not merely
improper ends, but also proper ones by dishonorable means.
We should have had no cause to censure the British government for waging an open war against the Spanish possessions in any part of the world; but it was a culpable, a criminal act to endeavor by deception and stratagem, to engage a neutral and unoffending nation in the miseries of war.
This disclosure attests, if the whole series of the conduct of Great Britain has not already proved it, that while her formal and written instructions point to one object, her verbal and controlling instructions direct another. Is this honorable to her, or just to others?—that what she solemnly issues, and frequently publishes, as the rule of her conduct, shall be merely a lure with which to entrap the credulity of those who confide in her professions? We would not wish to push these strictures too far; and we are ready to admit that there have been periods in the administration of her public affairs, the brightest periods too, in which an open, dignified and just policy has disdained to profess one thing while it did another. We are sure the spirit of Fox was too lofty to stoop to such disgraceful subterfuges. But we cannot avoid the remark, that, notwithstanding his transcendent talents, he was only two years, we believe, at the head of affairs, while Mr. Pitt, who died comparatively a young man, was at the head of affairs for eight times as long a period.
Foreign Intelligence.
New-York, April 24.
The ship Eliza, captain Smith, left Bourdeaux on the 25th of March. We have received by her our regular file of French papers to the 20th, inclusive. They add to our former stock of intelligence two more bulletins (the 63d and 64th) from the grand army. The most interesting circumstances being detailed in that of the 64th, we have confined our translations for the present to that article only. When the great pressure of local business shall begin to subside, the 63d will be given to complete our series.

SIXTY-FOURTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Osterode, 2d March, 1807.
The city of Elbing furnished great resources to the army. There was found in it a great quantity of wine and brandy. The country of the lower Vistula is very fertile.
The ambassadors of Constantinople and of Persia, have entered Poland, and approach Warsaw.
After the battle of Eylau the Emperor passed every day several hours on the field of battle. A horrid spectacle, but duty rendered it necessary. It required much labor to bury all the dead. A great number of bodies of Russian officers were found with their decorations. It appears there was found among them a Prince Repnin. Forty eight hours after the battle, more than 500 wounded Russians remained on the ground that they had not been able to carry off. Brandy and bread was brought them, and they were successfully transported to the hospitals.
Let one figure to himself upon the surface of a square league 9 or 10,000 dead bodies, 4 or 5000 horses slain, lines of Russian knapsacks, pieces of muskets and swords, the earth covered with bullets—Ours munitions, 24 pieces of cannon, near which were the bodies of the conductors killed at the moment they were making efforts to draw them off, all which appeared more forcibly upon a ground of snow—A spectacle calculated to inspire princes with the love of peace and the horrors of war.
The 5000 that we had wounded have been all fled off or sent to Thorn, and our hospitals on the left bank of the Vistula upon sleighs. The surgeons have remarked with surprise that the fatigue of this conveyance has not injured the wounded.
Here are some details of the battle of Braunberg. Gen. Dupont marched against the enemy in two columns. General Bravare, who commanded the right column, met the enemy at Ragern, and forced him in the river, which runs in front of this village. The left column pushed the enemy upon Villenberg, and the whole of the division did not delay sallying out of the wood. The enemy driven from his first position, was obliged to fall back upon the river which covers the city of Braunberg; at first he stood firm, but general Dupont marched up to him—overset him by a brisk charge, and entered with him into the city, which was strewn with the Russian dead.
The 9th of light infantry, the 32d and the 9th of the line which composed this division, have signalled themselves. Generals Barrois, L. horseassaye, Colonel Semele of the 24th of the line—colonel Meunier of the 9th of light infantry.—The chief of battalion Bouge of the 32d of the line, and the chief of a squadron Huillet of the 9th of hussars, have merited particular eulogiums.
Since the arrival of the French army on the Vistula, we have taken from the Russians in the affairs of Pultusk and of Goelynen, 89 pieces of cannon, at the battle of Bergfried 4 pieces; at the retreat of D'Allenstein 5 pieces; at the battle of D'Oppen 16 pieces, at the battle of Hoff 12 pieces; at the battle of Eylau 24 pieces; at the battle of Braunberg 16 pieces; at the battle of Ostrolenka 9 pieces—total 173 pieces of cannon.
The remark has been made on this subject that the Emperor has never lost
any cannon in the armies which he has commanded when in the first campaigns of Italy and Egypt, or in those of the army of reserve, whether in those of Austria and Moravia or in those of Prussia and Poland.
PARIS, MARCH 7.
The departure of the Conscripted of 1807, may be considered as finished. There remains only a small number of youths to set out, detained at home by indisposition. Thus, in the space of one month, all the Conscripted, of 1807, called to the active army, have set out to join their standards.
PARIS, MARCH 14.
The memorable battle of Eylau has confounded the attempts made by the Russians to disturb our winter quarters; and the battles of the 16th and 22d February, have finished to entirely disconcert their projects. H. S. H. Arch Chancellor, Prince of the Empire, has embraced the occasion of these fortunate successes to supplicate H. M. Empress and Queen to approve of a festival which she has condescended to accept of. This festival is to take place to morrow 15th at the Palace of the Great Elector, that her majesty the Queen of Naples has kindly ceded for that purpose.
Several French who were in Russia have quitted that empire to avoid the vexatious obligations prescribed by the Ukase relating to them.—Already many have passed by Nantz, in their way to Paris. M. Marten, French Consul in Moldavia, has also passed through the same city returning to Paris.
From the Imperial Camp at Warsaw, January 29, 1807.
The Senate were to meet on the 17th of February, and the following is the address of the Emperor:
SENATORS—We have ordered our minister of foreign affairs to communicate the treaties we have made with the king of Saxony, and with the different sovereign princes of that house. The Saxon nation lost its independence on the 14th October, 1756. It recovered it on the 14th October, 1806. After 50 years, Saxony, made free by the treaty of Posen, ceases to be a province of Prussia. The duke of Saxe Weimar, without any previous declaration, has embraced the cause of our enemies.—His fate ought to serve as an example to all the weaker princes who without being connected by fundamental laws, enter into the quarrels of great nations, but we have yielded to the desire to see our reconciliation with the house of Saxony complete without interruption. The prince of Saxe Coburgh is dead—His son being found in the camp of our enemies, we have sequestered the principality.
We have also ordered that the report of our minister for foreign affairs, upon the dangers of the Ottoman Porte, should be put before your eyes, a witness, that, from our early youth, in all the evils war has produced, our happiness, our glory, our ambition, have been placed in conquests and labors for peace. But the nature of our present circumstances demands our first concern. Fifteen years of victory have failed to give France an equivalent for the partition of Poland, which a single campaign in 1778 might have obtained. Ah! who can regulate the duration of the wars, the number of the campaigns which must be endured at some future day to repair the evils which may result from the loss of the empire of Constantinople, if a love of unseasonable repose, and of the pleasures of the city, should prevail against the wise counsels which provide against future evils? We shall leave to our posterity an inheritance of wars and calamities. The Greek Tiara, raised in triumph from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, will show us, even in our days, our provinces attacked by a cloud of fanatics and barbarians, and if in this struggle found to be too late, civilised Europe should perish, our guilty indifference will excite the just complaints of posterity, and will be a name of disgrace in history. The emperor of Persia, vexed in his dependent states, as Poland was for 60 years, and Turkey has been for 20 years, by the policy of the cabinet of Petersburg, is animated by the same sentiments as the Porte, has taken the same resolutions, and is marching in person upon the Caucasus to defend his frontier.
But already has the ambition of our enemies been confounded; their army has been defeated at Pultusk and at Goelynen, and their dishearted battalions fly at the sight of our eagles.—In such circumstances, peace, to be rendered sure ought to secure the independence of these two great empires. And if by the unbounded ambition and injustice of our enemies, war must still continue, our people will continue to discover themselves worthy by their energy, and their love to our person, of the high destiny which will crown all our labors, and then only can a stable and long continued peace yield for our people, after these days of glory, times of peace and happiness.
NAPOLEON.
ZURICH, FEB. 10.
The delay of the Helvetic government to furnish the men who are to form the Swiss regiments for the French service, the officers of which the Emperor had begun to nominate, has given rise to some disagreeable communications, in which his majesty has expressed his dissatisfaction upon this subject to the Chief Magistrate, and to the Cantonal Regencies of Helvetia. The complaints of his Imperial Majesty were conveyed in a circular letter, addressed by general Vial, his envoy, dated Jan. 15, as follows:—
"I have received, on the part of his majesty the emperor of the French and
king of Italy, positive orders to declare to the Landamman, and the Cantonal Regencies, that his majesty in nominating, three months ago, the officers of the Swiss regiment, No. —, flattered himself that the Swiss, following the example of their ancestors, would attach themselves to the new service with eagerness and zeal; but his majesty's hopes have not been realised; this has arisen from the want of proper means, from intrigues, or disaffection, which have impeded the new levies, or caused them to be neglected. His majesty knows the Swiss, and is convinced that five-sixths of them wish to enter into the service of France, and, that consequently, difficulties, and probably premeditated obstacles, may have impeded the success of the formation of the regiments, by which it was his majesty's intention to render the connection between France and Switzerland still more intimate, to the advantage of the latter! In this state of affairs, the undersigned envoy is charged to declare, that if the 16,000 men, who, according to the convention, should form the regiments demanded, are not raised by the first of May, Switzerland will be considered as having renounced the advantages of the convention; and that France, though with regret, will look upon this alliance as broken.

ROTTERDAM, JAN. 13.
A dreadful misfortune has happened to the city of Leyden, the seat of the principal University of the kingdom of Holland: it was yesterday, Monday, 12th January, partly destroyed and laid waste, and covered with mourning, by the explosion of a boat laden with 250 barrels of powder, which was passing through one of its canals, called the Rapenburg, about 4 o'clock in the evening. The number of the victims of this cruel accident has not yet been ascertained; but it appears to be very considerable. Among the killed are men whose loss is highly deplorable for that interesting city, the centre of the sciences and erudition, such as professor John Larac and Ancis Kluit; a great number of young students of the college called tot mud vont Algemeen , &c. The affrighted citizens are abandoning their shaken houses, which threaten to fall in every moment. The professor Rau and his family have been fortunate enough to be dug out of the ruins. The king immediately, and repeatedly repaired to that scene of desolation, and testified the most tender concern for the sufferers; who were sensibly affected with his paternal kindness. He has offered his palace of the house in the wood, as a provisional asylum to those who are without any, and he thus acquires, upon this melancholy occasion, a sacred title to the love and gratitude of a city, where one of the first effects of a liberal education is to know how to appreciate virtue and merit.
SCHEDAM, JAN. 13.
Last night, about five o'clock, the inhabitants of this city were alarmed by a most violent concussion, proceeding, as it was thought, from the North West. The windows of several houses here were forced open by the shock. At first it was imagined that the powder magazine at Delt had blown up; but, after the lapse of a few hours, it appeared that all was tranquil in that city. To-day we learn, with horror and astonishment, that the most magnificent part of Leyden was the scene of this terrific explosion. It seems that a vessel laden with 10,000 lbs. weight of gunpowder from Amsterdam, destined for Delft, and then lying in the Rapenburg canal there, by some means took fire, and instantly blew up, destroying all the houses in the vicinity of the canal, and occasioning the premature death of some hundreds of the inhabitants. When this account was written, the flames were said to be still raging. Of 60 children in a boarding school, five or six only are said to have been saved, but scorched dreadfully. Some say that the university is near destroyed, and that the Jewish Synagogue is reduced to ashes. Of the vessel on board of which were the owner's two sons and a servant, not an atom is visible.
MADRID, DEC. 10.
The world knows the barbarous manner in which the English commenced and for two years have carried on the war with Spain. After all the losses which the Spanish commerce has sustained, which have not answered to the avaricious speculations of the English, the continent of South America and the Spanish Islands are still in safety. The adventurer, Miranda, supported by the English Marine, has failed of his designs against Spanish America. He was connected with Col. Burr, who, on his side, by some partial attacks, was to draw the American states into a war with Spain. But the Cabinet of Washington has stifled this vile project at its birth. The English surprised Buenos Ayres, but they have been obliged to abandon their conquest, with great loss of men and even of a vessel of war. The great preparation to enjoy this conquest, is seen in the fleet of merchant ships fitted out for Buenos Ayres, which has failed of the object of its expedition.
LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 1807. Downing Street, March 8.
A dispatch, dated St. Petersburg, the 17th of Feb. 1807, of which the following is an extract, was this day received from the marquis of D'uglass and Clydesdale, his majesty's amassa-

For extraordinary and plenipotentiary at the court of St. Petersburg. I have the pleasure of inclosing, for your information, two papers containing an account of a signal victory gained by the Russians over the Turks.
General Benningsen, after having fallen back for the purpose of choosing a position which he judged better adapted for manoeuvring the troops under his command, took up a position at Preussisch Eylau. During four days successively, his rear guard, commanded by major general Barclay de Tolly, had to withstand several vigorous attacks, and on the 20th of Jan. [Feb. 7] at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the battle became general throughout the whole line of the main army. The contest was destructive, and the night came on without the enemy having been able to gain ground. On the 27th of Jan. [Feb. 8] early in the morning, the French renewed the attack, and the action was contested with great obstinacy on both sides; but towards the evening the enemy was repulsed on all sides, and general Benningsen remained in possession of the field of battle.
Bonaparte commanded in person, and under him marshals Augereau, Davoust, Soult, Ney and Bessieres, at the head of the guards, who suffered most. Our loss is from 6 to 8000 men, whilst that of the enemy is estimated at from 12 to 15,000. We have also taken 12 stand of colours, and about 1500 prisoners, amongst whom there are 30 officers.
Gen. BUDSBERG has the honor, &c.
Translation of a letter from gen. the Baron de Benningsen, to his majesty the emperor of Russia. On the field of battle, PREUSSISCH EYLAU, Jan. 27—[Feb. 8.] 1807. Sire,
I am truly happy to have it in my power to inform your imperial majesty, that the army, the command of which your majesty has deigned to confide to me, has been again victorious. The battle which has just taken place has been bloody and destructive. It began on the 26th Jan. [Feb. 7] at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and lasted until 6 in the evening of the 27th Jan. [Feb. 8.] The enemy was completely defeated; 1000 prisoners, and 12 stand of colours, which I have the honor herewith to transmit to your majesty, fell into the hands of the conquerors. This day Bonaparte attacked me with his best troops, on my centre, and on both wings—but he was repulsed, and beaten on all sides. His guards repeatedly attacked my centre, without the smallest success. After a very brisk fire, they were repulsed at all points, by the bayonet and by charges of the cavalry. Several columns of infantry and regiments of picked cuirassiers were destroyed.
I shall not fail to transmit to your majesty, as soon as possible, a detailed account of the memorable battle of Preussisch Eylau. I think our loss may perhaps exceed 6000 men, and I certainly do not exaggerate when I state the loss of the enemy at considerably more than 12000 men.
LONDON, MARCH 16. When the Treaty lately concluded between Great Britain and America was known in France, the price of sugar and other colonial produce fell considerably in that country, and the same can now be purchased cheaper there and in Holland, than at any other period within the last 15 years. MARCH 18.
The Austrian Messenger, who we mentioned in our paper of yesterday to be waiting at Heligoland for a passage to England, among other things, declared, that before he left Vienna, accounts had been received there of peace having been made between the Russians and Turks.
LONDON, MARCH 21. His Grace the Duke of Portland, to whom Lord Eldon and Hawkesbury had made known his majesty's wishes, that he should immediately form a new administration, hesitated for some time, whether he should accept the office of first lord of the treasury. But yesterday afternoon, in obedience to his majesty's message, he signified his acceptance of that office, and intimated to the king, that, on or before Wednesday next, he will be able to submit for his gracious approbation the new arrangement which he is now forming.
It would only be abusing the confidence of our readers, were we to pretend to state what the arrangement will be. The rumors on this subject are various and contradictory, according to the hopes, the wishes, or party passions of the individual projectors who give them currency. In fact, the public at large, we mean such as have attended to what has passed in our political horizon for some years, are just as well qualified to form a probable opinion of the result, as many of the sapient daily journals, who pretend to know every thing.
Last night a large company of the noblemen and gentlemen who are to compose the new administration, dined with his grace the duke of Portland at Burlington house, when the proposed arrangement was discussed and settled in all its parts, as far as it can be set-
tled, till the king's pleasure is known. Matters are understood to be in such forwardness, that the plan can be submitted to his majesty on Monday, and the principal appointments be announced in the Gazette of Tuesday.
Among the noblemen and gentlemen who dined with the duke of Portland, were—
The earl of Camden, Lord Hawkesbury, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Eldon, Mr. Rose, Mr. Canning, Mr. Sturges Bourne.
No mails have yet arrived from the continent, but some accounts have been brought by ships from the coast of Holland, which state, that a few days since, a report prevailed at Rotterdam, of a great battle having been fought on the 26th of February, in which the Russians were repulsed with great loss; but that, to secure the repose of the French army during the remainder of the bad weather, the cantonments have been considerably withdrawn from their advanced position, as being too much exposed to the repeated, though fruitless, attacks of the "barbarians." This rumor of a battle on the 26th, perhaps, relates to that of the 16th, the French account of which has already appeared. Of the retreat of the enemy we have little doubt.
MARCH 22. The duke of Portland, who, at his majesty's command has undertaken to form a new administration, continues occupied in that important, and we are inclined to think, arduous arrangement. Lord Hardwicke yesterday attended his majesty at Windsor; and in the evening a meeting of the new cabinet took place at Burlington house, to receive the further communication of the royal pleasure.
It has been attempted to reconcile the discordant feelings of Lords Sidmouth and Melville; and we understand Lord Eldon, in communicating to the king the difficulty which occurred on this head, enquired if his majesty was desirous that Lord Sidmouth should continue in the cabinet. The reply is stated to have been, "It is a matter of perfect indifference to me." We have reason to believe that the duke of Portland has in consequence made his election of Lord Melville, and that the admiralty is again to have the benefits of his lordship's active and liberal administration.
BLOCKADE. "Downing-street, March 11, 1807. "Lord Viscount Hawkesbury, his majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, has this day notified to the ministers of friendly and neutral powers resident at this court, that in consequence of the recent proceedings, and the present position of the enemy upon the continent, which enables him to command the navigation of the rivers Elbe, Weser, and Ems, his majesty has judged it expedient to re-establish the most rigorous blockade at the entrance of those rivers, and to maintain and enforce the same, according to the usages of war acknowledged and allowed in similar cases."

WASHINGTON CITY, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29. DIED, on Saturday last, Mrs. TINSEY, wife of Thomas Tinsey, Esq.
We some time since gave publicity to a letter from an Irish Emigrant on the extraordinary conduct of Mr. King, while the representative of the U. S. at London. Not having authority to give the name of the writer it was withheld. It so happened, at the time, that Mr. King had been recently nominated by the federalists of the city of New York as a member of assembly; and we admit that this was no inconsiderable motive with us in publishing the letter, although, it is but justice to the gentleman who received it, to say that he was altogether ignorant at the time of the pending election in New York. No election, since the fall of federalism in that state, has assumed so interesting a complexion as the present. Building their hopes upon the divisions of the republicans, the federalists determined to make a vigorous effort. In addition to the great municipal powers attached to the legislature of New York, the interesting duty of choosing electors of President and Vice President is devolved upon them at their next session. Hence the policy of introducing the ablest men of their party, and of selecting Mr. King for their leader. Their hope was, that they would be able to divide, if not to conquer, and to embarrass, if not to defeat, their political opponents.
Nothing could have been better calculated to awaken the patriotism of the people of New York, or to expose the anti-republican principles of Mr. King, than the letter to which we refer; and we have no hesitation in saying that it was in the hope that it would have this effect that it was published. The authenticity of this letter was immediately denied. It was a forgery, an electioneering trick, patched up at the seat of government! To repeal this falsehood, the writer, as our readers will perceive in our first column, has come forth in his own name, and dared Mr. King or his friends to invalidate the veracity of a word that it contains. In the same print we are presented with a still more important letter, because written by Mr. King himself, to Mr. Jackson. This letter may be a passport to federal favor; it may entitle the author to the respect and homage of those who are hostile to our republican institutions, and who are willing to sap them by indirect, after having been failed in their efforts to assail them by direct means. But we venture to say, that so long as the American people are regardful of their rights, and vigilant in their preservation, Mr. King will continue to sustain the dignified character of a private citizen.
Strange as Mr. King's conduct was to Mr. Trenor, and other Irish emigrants, his letter to Mr. Jackson is still more extraordinary. The fact that he "really had no authority to give or refuse permission" to foreigners to go to the U. S. is indisputable; but the reason which he assigns for the want of such authority is most wonderful, when we consider the grade of intellect that is claimed for him by his friends—These are his words—"the admission and residence of strangers in that country being a matter, that, by a late law, [the alien law] exclusively belongs to the President." Examine this law, and you will find no such authority given to the President of the U. S. The admission of aliens is in no way prohibited or restricted. Nor is the residence of strangers in the U. S. so completely under the control of the President as Mr. King declares it to be. It only gives him power "to order all such aliens as he shall judge dangerous to the peace and safety of the U. S. or shall have reasonable grounds to suspect are concerned in any treasonable or secret machinations against the government thereof, to depart," &c. Was Mr. King ignorant of the contents of this celebrated law, or did he intentionally misrepresent them? If charity compels us to disbelieve the latter, we must yield to the former opinion, and admit the purity of his motives only at the expense of his understanding. Mr. Jay was ignorant of the growth of cotton in the U. S. when he formed his celebrated treaty; but his apology was that he was neither a merchant nor a planter. But what apology can Mr. King, who is a lawyer, offer for boldly declaring that to be law which is not law!
We shall not enter the wide field of argument, which this topic has opened in the prints of New York. The patriotic citizens of that state have done it ample justice, if we except that view which we have deemed it our duty to present: they have gone into it fully: they have painted in colors no less true than glowing, the political iniquity of the alien act and of the times that gave it birth. They have overwhelmed Mr. King with the indignation which long since deprived those in place of their power and popularity. They have demonstrated that no man can, or ought to possess the confidence of republicans, who holds such sentiments as he avowed, or who commits himself by such conduct as he pursued.
Mr. Trumbull is re-elected Governor of Connecticut. A majority of the legislature of which state will likewise be federal. By a publication recently made in the Philadelphia Directory, it appears that the number of Medical Students in the University of Pennsylvania amounts to two hundred and seventy, and the
whole number of Students between five and six hundred. The ship Ocean has arrived at Philadelphia in 56 days from Antwerp. Her Paris dates are received to the 14th of March. The Philadelphia Gazette promises a translation of several French articles. The only intelligence of interest yet given to the public, in addition to what we had before received, states the taking possession by the French of the small town of Nauzarten, in which the French had 3 men killed and 22 wounded; and the Prussians 100 men killed, and 138 taken prisoners, with the loss of their cannon. It was reported that the Turks had gained a partial advantage over the Russians. Passawan Ogloo has paid the debt of nature. Two of his principal officers, each with a considerable force, are contending for the succession as Pacha of Widan.
Providence, April 18. RHODE-ISLAND ELECTION. On Wednesday last, town-meetings were held in all the towns in the state for the choice of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Senators and Representatives. The meetings were generally very thinly attended, but there is no doubt of the election of Mr. Fenner by a majority of 1000 and upwards.
Philadelphia, April 24. The following extract of a letter, from a gentleman in Cowes, to his correspondent in this city, corroborates the information, which we have heretofore published on the same subject. "We have further proof, by the admission of several American ships from hence into the ports of Holland that Bonaparte's decree is relaxed in regard to ships from America, that have called here for orders."
