To Col. PHILIP STUART.
Sir—Concurring in the proposition made to me through your friend, Maj. Chapman, with respect to further explanations of my late letters addressed to Mr. C. Dorsey, than are contained in my publication of September 12th, 1808, in hand-bills only, and in the expediency of having them published, together with the letters which passed between us, and upon which our reconciliation was predicated; I have submitted the following further statement, and shall direct it, together with the letters to be inserted in the National Intelligencer, through which paper my letters went to the public. In that publication of September 12th, I candidly admit that I have not done you that complete justice upon some points which it was my full intention to have done. I have said in that publication that "it was under the impression, from the whole combination of circumstances, that Col. Stuart's design was to deter and suppress a speaking of political opinions contrary to his own; that I made those publications, which contain intemperate language in allusion to col. Stuart, and which col. S. has since understood as so intended;" & I have not stated clearly that that impression was removed. I now state to you, that not only every impression of that kind is now removed from the very temperate manner in which we have since debated political subjects in opposition, but that it was removed at the time that our reconciliation took place at Doctor T. Marshall's. Another point is, I have not so fully related the circumstances attending our mutual apologies at the public meeting of the 22d of July, which were substantially these to the best of my recollection; that you came to me & said, "Sir, you have complained to day of my conduct; I am perfectly willing to make an apology for the supposed injury, provided you also apologise for the aspersions of your retort;" to which I answered, "that most certainly I should do so without the smallest hesitation;" upon which you made your apology as soon after as you could get possession of the table, and my acceptance and apology followed immediately. I hope you will do me the justice to believe that the issues of these full explanations arose solely from inadvertence. I must now beg leave to observe, that before I received your letter, in answer to mine of the twenty-fourth of August, I had determined to make the explanation of the word 'satellites' therein required as a justice due to those whom I never meant to offend, and of this determination I had apprised our mutual friend Doctor T. Marshall before I knew it to be required by you.
I am sir, respectfully, Your ob't. servant, JAMES FENWICK.

To Col. PHILIP STUART.
Sir,
I could not obtain a perusal of your publication which I heard of at Port Tobacco, until I returned home from thence. I have taken time for deliberation and consultation upon the proper course that I ought to pursue in relation to its contents, the result of which has been that the most direct course is the most honorable, which induces me to address you this letter—Sir, it has been with surprise that I have learnt from your publication, that my personal disrespectful deportment towards you at the Tavern was the cause which gave rise to the language you held towards me upon that occasion, and which has brought on the whole unfortunate misunderstanding between us. Sir, I can entertain no doubt but that I shall be readily credited when I declare, that my attention must have been so deeply engaged in the particular conversation which was going on between Mr. John Campbell and myself, that I did not hear those calls which you made upon me, or certainly I should have paid you all the attention due from one gentleman to another, and which has been the habit of my life always to give you; or if explanation had been understood to be asked for, I should most readily in the moment have disclaimed any intentional disrespect towards you. Moreover sir, I am utterly unconscious of having exhibited those ap-
pearances of countenance or attitude of body which you interpreted into personal disrespect, having no motive whatever for commencing such a course of conduct towards you, so foreign to the habits of my life. The above declaration must receive a strong confirmation when it is considered that Mr. J. Campbell, with whom I was particularly engaged in conversation, has declared to me and other gentlemen, that he did not notice those calls of yours at the time, nor comprehend that any exception had been taken to my supposed personal disrespectful deportment.
Having thus set you right, sir, in what may be deemed a capital point in this affair; and having removed your error of misconception I shall add that the whole measures which I have since pursued arose from a conscientious belief that I had given no provocation for the language that you held towards me upon that occasion, and which tore open afresh all the wounds of my feelings which had been healed by the mutual apologies and cordial reconciliation of the preceding day, but it was my strong impression that your language, from its nature, arose solely out of exceptions to my political opinions and to my having given those opinions publicly at this time. I have only to add, that I perceive misconceptions have been taken up as to the meaning of my language used in my two publications, and particularly in the counter statement of Mr. C. Dorsey; and that there is a necessity imposed upon me to exercise my equal privilege of giving a construction to my own language, which I conceive to have been misinterpreted, as it applies generally to my fellow-citizens of Charles county; and a necessity of making, what I may conceive, a suitable and candid explanation to any particular gentlemen who may conceive themselves to have been improperly implicated or alluded to by me.
I am, sir, respectfully, Your ob't. servant, JAMES FENWICK.

Eutaw, August 24, 1808.
Sir, I have received your letter and candidly acknowledge that your frank disavowal of any intention to insult me has removed the cause of our personal dispute. It is impossible for me to withhold my full credit to your declaration, although appearances at the moment strongly warranted my conclusion, in which a disinterested gentleman sitting by my side and observing what passed, precisely concurred. I agree with you that the most direct, is the most honorable course in the adjustment of differences, and therefore, I think it best to say at once, that with a satisfactory explanation of the word 'satellites' which I consider as intended for my worthy friends who have in past elections always honored me with their suffrages, and an understanding upon some other smaller points will restore us to our old footing which never would have been interrupted by me had you made the explanation at the time, which is now made. Respecting political principles and proceedings, we are both free to do what we think right, abstaining always from personal disrespect.
Your ob't. servant, PHILIP STUART.

FROM THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN.
The affair of Tuesday we should have passed unnoticed had not the scurrilous editors of the infamous "Federal Republican" of yesterday tortured the proceedings into a business of party for political purposes. The best information we can obtain of this affair coincides with the following account copied from the Evening Post. While we execrate mobs, we heartily despise the conduct of those characters who by the intemperate abuse of a vast majority of the citizens through the medium of a profligate press, gives even coloring to its necessity. The peace of a city should never be disturbed for the sake of venting popular rage on an odious individual however richly he might merit it. Obedience to the laws is ever preferable to tumult and riot. Mobs, whatever may be their origin, carry the most dreadful con-
sequences in their train, and will ever be discountenanced by every good citizen.
"At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon a journeyman shoemaker was violently torn from his work, put into a cart, tarred and feathered, paraded through several of the streets of this city, and afterwards landed at the place from whence he was taken by the same party who carried him away.
"The circumstance which led to this event we are informed, are as follows: The sufferer is an Englishman frequently outrageous in his expressions of hostility against the government and people of the United States. At a late meeting of the "Journeymen Shoemaker's Society," he cursed all the Americans, indiscriminately, as a pack of rebels to their king, and rascals to each other—and hoped to see the day when one of his majesty's sons would obtain his just rights over these states and be their king. He damned the President and the government in the most bitter manner, and hoped when the British came here, as he intended to join them, to have the pleasure of shooting the President," &c. &c. Such conversations, we are informed, were frequent with him, and the situation of those compelled, from the nature of their business, to be his associates, thus rendered "irksome and uncomfortable. He was frequently warned to guard his tongue, and threatened with tar and feathers if he would not. He still persisted and met the disaster, according to the promise of his fellow-craftsmen."
LOOK OUT FOR A SQUALL.
From Halifax.—By a gentleman who left Halifax 14 days ago, and arrived here in the sloop Elizabeth, capt. Damerell, from Deer Island, we have the following information:—The preparation of the apparent important expedition which has been in agitation for some time past, is now nearly completed; the time is improved with the greatest diligence in order to facilitate their departure. The ships now in readiness for this secret object are 19, most of which are of the line, and 190 transports, with flat bottomed boats built on a new construction, for the purpose of landing troops in shoal water, 80 of those are completed, and others preparing with the utmost dispatch; 15,000 troops are ready to embark, and waiting the arrival of a reinforcement, which sailed from Portsmouth the 3d of August under convoy; 60 horses, with equipments for flying artillery, attended with infantry and camp equipage for 30,000 men, were all embarked prior to the 20th ult. There are various conjectures relative to the destination of the fleet, the opinions of many are that the object is N. Orleans or the Floridas. Every stranger is strictly scrutinized and arrested if a pass cannot be produced, designating his business.

Accusation against the administration of hostility to England and partiality to France—Continued.
Let us now advert to Mr. Monroe's communications, as exhibiting his own ideas and those of the British government.
On the 18th of March 1804 Mr. Monroe writes as follows—
"I hope to be able to commence the business in a week or ten days, and flatter myself that the negotiation will be productive of real advantage to the United States. Should it even not succeed in all its objects, the attempt must nevertheless be considered as a very satisfactory proof of a strong desire in our government to preserve, on just ground, the friendship of this country, and is likely, by the explanations to which it may lead alone, to have that tendency."
On the 2nd of April, 1804, Mr. Monroe had a conference with Lord Hawkesbury, which was of the most amicable kind, by whom no complaint is made against the American government.
On the 3rd of August ensuing he had an interview with Lord Harrowby, then secretary for foreign affairs.
"I told his Lordship, says Mr. Monroe, that the President, animated by a sincere desire to cherish & perpetuate the friendly relations subsisting between the two countries, had been disposed to postpone the regulation of their general commercial system till the period should arrive, when each party, enjoying the blessings of peace, might find itself at liberty to pay the subject the attention it merited; that he wished those regulations to be founded in the permanent interests, justly and liberally viewed, of both countries; that he sought for the present only to remove certain topics which produced irritation in the intercourse, such as the impressment of seamen, and in our commerce with other powers, parties to the present war, according to a project which I had had the honor to present his predecessor some months since, with which I presumed his lordship was acquainted. He seemed desirous to decline any conversation on this latter subject, though it was clearly to be inferred from what he said, to be his opinion, that the policy which our government seemed disposed to pursue in respect to the general system, could not otherwise than be agreeable to his."
In October 1805 Mr. Monroe had another interview with Lord Harrowby.
"We had," says Mr. Monroe, "much general conversation on the topics depending between us, which, as it corresponded with what has passed before and communicated to you, it is unnecessary to repeat. He appeared to agree with me with great sincerity in the advantage to be derived to both countries, from the preservation of their present amicable relations, and to be quite satisfied with the state in which the negotiation was left, assuring me that he would not fail to take it up on my return, with an earnest desire to conclude it to the satisfaction of both parties; though he intimated that there was great difficulty attending certain branches of it."
"In the course of this conversation Lord Harrowby expressed concern to find the United States opposed to Great Britain on certain great neutral questions, in favor of the doctrines of the modern law which he termed novelties. I replied, that in adhering to our principles, the President had endeavored to arrange them in a friendly manner with his government; that he had taken no step of an opposite character; that he had sought no concert with the neutral powers in support of them, as he had supposed that a satisfactory arrangement to both governments might be made by direct communication between them, which he preferred. He observed, that altho' while the negotiation was suspended, his government would adhere to its principles, yet that it would act in what concerned us, with moderation in the practice of them."
In the same letter of Mr. Monroe, dated the 3d of October, 1804, we find the following language of Mr. Monroe. Let the reader distinctly remark it.
"The proceeding here, lays a foundation for any course which the public honor and interest may dictate. If it is deemed expedient in pursuing
our just rights to profit of time and circumstances, and in the interim, unless they be secured by a fair and equal treaty, to act with moderation till the occasion invites to a more decisive and hazardous policy, the state of things permits it. Or if it should be deemed more advisable to adopt the latter course at present, the opportunity is fair for such a measure. The situation in which our government will find itself on receiving this communication, is a very different one from that in which I have stood throughout. If the latter course is preferred, it cannot be doubted that the moderation which has been so far observed will strengthen the government in any the most vigorous measures which may be thought necessary."
"A virtuous and free people will be more united in support of such measures, however strong they may be, when they see by the clearest evidence that the cause is not only just, but that their government has done every thing in its power which the national honor and interest would permit, to avoid such an extremity."
In the summer of 1805 very extensive seizures, without the least notice, were made of American vessels engaged in the colonial trade of the enemies of Great Britain, under the pretext that the trade was illegal, and that a neutral was not justified in pursuing a trade during war not allowed during a period of peace. This produced a warm remonstrance from Mr. Monroe, to Lord Mulgrave, who had become secretary of foreign affairs.
"His reply," says Mr. Monroe, showed that it was not disposed to relax in the slightest degree from the doctrine of the late decrees of the courts of admiralty and appeals; which go to cut up completely by the roots the whole commerce of the United States in the produce of the colonies of its enemies, other than for the home consumption of their citizens."
In this able remonstrance of our minister, the subject of impressments is adverted to in the following earnest and eloquent terms, which do equal honor to his head and heart:
"In the topic of impressment, however, the motive is more urgent. In that line the rights of the United States have been so long trampled under foot, and the feelings of humanity, in respect to the sufferers, and the honor of their government, even in their own ports, so often outraged, that the astonished world may begin to doubt, whether the patience with which these injuries have been borne, ought to be attributed to generous or unworthy motives; whether the United States merit the rank to which in other respects they are justly entitled among independent powers, or have already, in the very morn of their political career, lost their energy and become degenerate. The United States are not insensible that their conduct has exposed them to such suspicions, though they well know that they have not merited them. They are aware from the similarity in the person, the manners, and above all, the identity of the language, which is common to the people of both nations, that the subject is a difficult one; they are equally aware, that to Great Britain also, it is a delicate one; and they have been willing, in seeking an arrangement of this important interest to give a proof by the mode, of their very sincere desire to cherish the relations of friendship with her."
To this remonstrance, no other answer was made by Lord Mulgrave, than a concise note promising an attention to the subject.
A short time after this Mr. Fox came into the English ministry. In the mean time the non-importation act was passed, not however to take effect until November ensuing. In February, 1806, Mr. Monroe recommends "that no measure should be definitely adopted, or if already adopted, be executed till a fair experiment is made of what may be expected of it" [the new ministry]. "By suspending," he adds, "what might have been contemplated in another view, and even necessary, it may tend to conciliate those now in power, and be productive of good."
Congress, on the recommendation of the President, suspended the non-importation act.
In the same month Mr. Monroe addresses Mr. Fox in the following terms:

The same motive was felt and respected in the proposition which I had the honor to make in respect to seamen. The sensibility of the government, and indeed of the whole nation, had been subjected to great and almost continual excitement by the abuses which had been committed in that line, on the high seas, in the islands, and sometimes in the ports of the United States. The sons of respectable citizens had been snatched from them, many of whom were doomed never to return, to be slain in wars to which their country was not a party, or otherwise perish in a foreign service. No rule had been established by the governments to discriminate between American and British seamen, a thing not easily done by the most impartial; and the commanders of many of his majesty's ships of war and privateers, especially the latter, acknowledge none but their own judgments in making the discrimination. The highest American documents were often either not looked at, or utterly disregarded. It was evidently improper that an interest of a nature so delicate and important; one which was so intimately connected with the sovereignty and independence of the nation, should be left longer in such a state of oppression. My government felt that it would be wanting to what it owed to its character, as in its duty, if it did not endeavor to put an end to a practice so injurious and at the same time so degrading. It was, therefore, one of the objects of the project referred to, to provide a remedy for that evil. But it was understood that Great Britain complained likewise of an injury in respect to her seamen, though of a different kind: for that, also, it was proposed to provide an adequate remedy. In protecting American citizens from impressment, my government was far from desiring to extend its protection to any who had not a just claim to it. It was ready to meet the injury complained of by Great Britain, and to suppress it by the most effectual means in its power. These propositions were neither accepted nor rejected by lord Hawkesbury, though I think myself perfectly correct in stating that nothing occurred in our conferences, to justify an inference that he thought them unreasonable. They were postponed from time to time at his instance, and finally transferred to lord Harrowby, his successor."
On the 31st of March, 1806, Mr. Monroe writes to the secretary of state, states his interviews with Mr. Fox, and adds—
"From what I can discern, I think that there is much cause to believe that Mr. Fox, has the best disposition to settle our difference on just principles, but it must be recollected that some other of the members of the cabinet have not always thought with him on such topics. On the most deliberate reflection, I am convinced that too much reliance ought not to be placed on these favorable appearances, as that there is cause to fear that if the Congress should adopt a system of coercive policy, calculated to meet the most unfavorable result, their forbearance may contribute to the disappointment of our reasonable expectations. By this, however, I do not wish to imply that measures of the kind alluded to should be carried into prompt execution. I mean only that the attitude should be taken, but its operation be suspended by suitable powers to the President, till he shall be duly notified that the negotiation has failed. Such a suspension will be deemed a sufficient mark of respect to those in the ministry who are disposed to a fair accommodation, and the attitude will, in my opinion, tend to aid their councils in producing that effect. "
In May following the non-importation act was received in England which Mr. Monroe notices as follows:
"It evidently produced some sensation, which was doubtless the stronger from the idea then entertained, that the bill was to commence its operation at an early day. I observe, however, with pleasure, that on the whole the measure is considered by the government papers, on account of the distant period at which it does commence, rather as a pacific than as a hostile one. I persuade myself that the present ministry will see in the circumstance of delay, a strong proof of the disposition of the United States, not only to preserve the relations of peace with Great Britain, but of their confidence, that the ministry is animated with the same desire."
The reader is desired pointedly to attend to these remarks, as a very different impression is attempted to be produced as to the effect of this measure on the English.
On the 9th of June, Mr. Monroe writes as follows:
Alluding to a conversation with Mr. Fox, he says, "In speaking of the non-importation act, he expressed his
regret that it had passed. He said that it had the air of a menace, and that it was not agreeable to do things by compulsion. I reminded him how long we had complained of injuries which his government had not attempted to justify: injuries which were not imaginary or prospective, but real and severe, which affected equally the honor and the interest of the United States. I added that under such circumstances his government had no right to complain of the act referred to. I assured him, however, that I was of opinion, if the ministry had not changed, that a bill of a very different import would have been adopted; that I had reason to believe that the tone of our government, and of the Congress, had been essentially moderated by the information which I had given of his assurances that our differences should be settled amicably, and on just principles; that the act which had passed in consequence of that information was little more than a declaration to the citizens of the United States that the object would be duly attended to. I observed that he must be sensible, after the subject had been taken up by Congress, as it was before the change of the ministry was known, that it was impossible for that body to dismiss it without some expression of the rights of the United States, in the question in dispute, without exposing itself to the charge of having abandoned them. He seemed finally to admit that the Congress could not well have avoided doing something in the business and that the measure which had been adopted ought to be considered as a moderate one. I was glad to bear this sentiment from Mr. Fox, because I had feared that he would urge the passage of the act, as a discharge from the obligation, which his communications with me had in a certain degree imposed on him, in respect to the conditions on which he was disposed to make the settlement, and in which, in some particular and interesting points, he was precise and explicit."
Thus far negotiation progressed previously to the joint mission of Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney, during the whole of which period there was no demonstration on the part of our government but of amity towards Great Britain, no professions but of friendship, and no requisitions for a redress of injuries that were not urged in the sincerest spirit of conciliation; and during which there was not a solitary complaint on the part of the British government (although there were three successive administrations) of either our measures, or of the manner in which the negotiation was conducted. So far from this, we find a constant acknowledgement of the amicable sentiments of our government.
New-York, October 22. LATER STILL FROM ENGLAND.
The intelligence brought by the barque Richard, captain Odiorne, which arrived at this port yesterday morning in 20 days from Liverpool and 23 from the land, occasioned no small degree of bustle and perturbation in the city; captain Odiorne having informed us and given public notice, that on the 19th of September, the day he left Liverpool, while he was beating out of the river, a boat dispatched by Mr. Maury, the American Consul, overtook him, having his (Mr. M.'s) clerk on board, who was sent by the Consul for the purpose of announcing to captain O. that an express had just arrived in Liverpool from London with the news of Bonaparte having declared war against the United States!
Captain Odiorne further states, that he is the bearer of those dispatches which were intended to have been sent from England and France by the schooner Hope, which vessel Mr. Pinkney had deemed it expedient to detain for a few days, to carry out other dispatches which were yet to be prepared. Those brought by the Richard, were forwarded yesterday to Washington, and are said by captain O. to be of such importance that Mr. Pinkney had ordered the American Consul to charter a vessel immediately, if none were lying in port ready to sail.
Such is the amount of the verbal intelligence which has come to our knowledge. Our readers will give it what degree of credit they may think it entitled to.
We tread upon surer ground, perhaps, when we allude to the extracts we have made from Liverpool papers of the 19th of September, and London papers of the 17th, which have been received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser by this conveyance. From these we have copied the official capitulations of Junot and the Russian fleet; and as they are of extraordinary length, we have been obliged to confine ourselves almost wholly to them. But, as our file is re-
gular we shall have an opportunity in our next and succeeding numbers of laying before our readers a complete copy of the Expose for September on the state of the French nation, the reports of the French ministers of war and of foreign affairs, and other articles of considerable political importance.
The apprehension of a rupture between Austria and France has contributed to depress the English funds half per cent.
Ferdinand VII. was to be proclaimed at Madrid on the 24th of August, and great preparations were making for that solemnity.
The Swedes have obtained some farther and important successes over the Russians. Private letters from Stockholm state, that certain intelligence had been received there from Riga, that 40,000 Russians had been ordered to proceed to Poland, for the purpose of quelling an insurrection which had broken out in that quarter. General Dombrowsky is at the head of the insurgents. They have refused to obey orders transmitted from Paris to proceed to Spain, as Bonaparte had not fulfilled his promise to establish Poland as an independent state. The orders issued from St. Petersburg were to arrest Dombrowsky, and send him to Paris.
A letter from Liverpool, dated 17th September, represents the price of cotton as having considerably advanced, with a prospect of its being still higher as the stock in the market is light. New Upland Cotton is quoted at 3s. sterling; old at 2s. 8d. to 2s. 9d. and New-Orleans 3s. to 3s. 3d.
From London and Liverpool papers to the 19th September, received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser by the Barque Richard.
LONDON, September 17. From the London Gazette Extraordinary.
Downing-Street, Sept. 16. A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was received yesterday evening from lieutenant general sir Hew Dalrymple, commanding his majesty's troops in Portugal, addressed to Lord Viscount Castlereagh, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state, and brought by captain Dalrymple, military secretary to sir Hew Dalrymple.
Head Quarters, Cintra, Sept. 3, 1808.
MY LORD—I have the honor to inform your lordship that I landed in Portugal, and took the command of the army on Monday the 22d of August, the next day after the battle of Vimeira, and where the enemy sustained a signal defeat, where the valor and discipline of British troops and the talents of British officers were eminently displayed.
A few hours after my arrival, gen. Kellerman came in with a flag of truce from the French general in chief, in order to propose an agreement for a cessation of hostilities, for the purpose of concluding a convention for the evacuation of Portugal by the French troops. The inclosed contains the several articles at first agreed upon and signed by Sir Arthur Wellesley and general Kellerman; but as this was done with a reference to the British admiral, who, when the agreement was communicated to him, objected to the 7th article, which had for its object the disposal of the Russian fleet in the Tagus, it was finally concluded that lieutenant colonel Murray, quarter master general to the British army, and general Kellerman, should proceed to the discussion of the remaining articles, and finally to conclude a convention for the evacuation of Portugal, subject to the ratification of the French general in chief, and the British commanders by sea and land.
After considerable discussion and repeated reference to me, which rendered it necessary for me to avail myself of the limited period lately prescribed for the suspension of hostilities, in order to move the army forwards, and to place the several columns upon the routes by which they were to advance, the convention was signed, and ratification exchanged on the 30th of last month.
That no time might be lost in obtaining anchorage for the transports and other shipping, which had for some days been exposed to great peril on this dangerous coast, and to insure the communication between the army and the victuallers, which was cut off by the badness of the weather, and the surf upon the shore, I sent orders to the Buffs and the 42d regiments which were on board transports with Sir Charles Cotton's fleet, to land and take possession of the forts on the Tagus, whenever the admiral thought it proper to do so. This was accordingly carried into execution yesterday morning, when the forts of Cascais, St. Julien's and Bugio, were evacuated by the French troops, and taken possession of by ours.
As I landed in Portugal, entirely
unacquainted with the actual state of the French army, and many circumstances of a local and incidental nature, which doubtless had great weight in deciding the question; my own opinion in favor of the expediency of expelling the French from Portugal by means of the convention the late defeat had induced the French general in chief to solicit, instead of doing so by a continuation of hostilities, was principally founded on the great importance of time, which the season of the year rendered peculiarly valuable, and which the enemy could easily have consumed in the protracted defence of the strong places they occupied, had terms of convention been refused them.
When the suspension of arms was agreed upon, the army under Sir John Moore had not arrived, and doubts were even entertained whether so large a body of men could be landed on an open and a dangerous beach; and that being effected, whether the supply of so large an army with provisions for the ships could be provided for, under all the disadvantages to which the shipping were exposed. During the negotiation, the former difficulty was overcome by the activity, zeal, and intelligence of captain Malcolm, of the Donegal, and the officers and men under his orders, but the possibility of the latter seems to have been at an end, nearly at the moment it was no longer necessary.
Captain Dalrymple, of the 18th dragoons, my military secretary, will have the honor of delivering to your lordship this dispatch. He is fully informed of whatever has been done under my orders, relative to the service on which I have been employed, and can give any explanation thereupon that may be required.
I have the honor to be, etc. (Signed) HEW DALRYMPLE, Lieut. Gen.
DEFINITIVE CONVENTION. We give the important articles for the evacuation of Portugal by the French army.
The generals commanding in chief the British and French armies in Portugal, having determined to negotiate and conclude a treaty for the evacuation of Portugal by the French troops, on the basis of the agreement entered into on the 22d inst. for a suspension of hostilities, have appointed the undermentioned officers to negotiate the same in their names, viz. On the part of the general in chief of the British army, lieutenant colonel Murray, quarter master general, and on the part of the general in chief of the French army, Monsieur Kellerman, general of division to whom they have given authority to negotiate and conclude a convention to that effect, subject to their ratification respectively, and to that of the admiral commanding the British fleet at the entrance of the Tagus.
Those two officers, after exchanging their full powers, have agreed upon the articles which follow:
ART. I. All the places and forts in the kingdom of Portugal, occupied by the French troops, shall be delivered up to the British army in the state in which they are at the period of the signature of the present convention.
II. The French troops shall evacuate Portugal with their arms and baggage; they shall not be considered as prisoners of war, and, on their arrival in France, they shall be at liberty to serve.

LONDON, Sept. 17. Statesman's office, two o'Clock, P. M. 17th September.
A row boat has arrived at Guernsey from St. Maloes with four American seamen, who state that Bonaparte has arrested all the Americans in France. The account, which has been received by a gentleman in the city, was read at Batson's Coffee-house this morning.
Yesterday evening a mail from Gottenburgh arrived. It brings an account of an action between Sir Samuel Hood and the Russian fleet in the Baltic. It appears that Sir S. Hood had, with two sail of the line, joined the Swedish fleet, with which he sailed in pursuit of the Russians. The Russian admiral, apprized of their approach, quitted Henega Roads on the 25th August; he was however overtaken by the combined squadron. The British ships, the Centaur and the Implacable, being much better sailers than the Swedes, succeeded in bringing the rear of the Russian fleet to action, and one of their line of battle ships struck her colors. The whole of the Russian fleet there bore down to rescue her, in which they succeeded; but she was again attacked by the Centaur, and carried by boarding; she unfortunately, however got aground, and Sir S. Hood was obliged, after taking out the prisoners, to burn her. The Swedish fleet at that time coming up, the Russian admiral crowded all sail and took refuge in Port Baltic, where he was blocked up when the last accounts came away, by the united British and Swedish fleets. The Russians immediately upon entering Port Baltic, began to erect works for the protection of their fleet, upon an island which commands the entrance of the harbor. When this intelligence reached Sweden, orders were given for the embarkation of a body of troops, for the purpose of reducing the island. Sir I. Saumarez had joined Sir S. Hood with four sail of the line. Lieutenant Thomp-

son arrived at the admiralty yes- terday with the above intelligence. Sun.
WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26.
There is no reason to credit the information, given under the New York head, of France having declar- ed war against the U. States. So far as it relies for credibility on any thing official received by our government, it is entirely disproved, as no information to this effect has, we understand, been received. The rumor is supposed to have originated from the American consul at Liverpool having dispatched a boat with a letter from Mr. Pinkney for the Secretary of State received by him after the sail- ing of the Albion .
Information relative to our affairs with England has been received as late as the 12th of Sept. when things remained in statu quo .
Mr. Young, our Consul at Madrid, has arrived in this city, from Gibral- tar by the way of London. As he remained at the latter place some time, he brings no late Spanish news.
The overwhelming republican ma- jority in Pennsylvania, by which tor- ism has been humbled in the dust, demonstrates to the world the inflexi- ble spirit of freedom. Never has this great whig state since the days of the revolution shone with a more pa- triotic lustre, or consecrated the cause of liberty with more distinguished honors. One hundred thousand vo- ters have appeared at the polls, and by the silent magic of their ballots blast- ed the intoxicated hopes of the ene- mies of their country. The enemies of republican government stand ap- palled at the sublimity of a spectacle that has in an instant dashed their gol- den dreams in the very moment of expected fruition. New Jersey, too, has not only maintained her whig character, but has irradiated it with still brighter glory. These two states are therefore firm as a rock. The day of difficulty only animates them to new exertions. As danger thickens a- round them, their republican citizens heal their unfortunate divisions, and remembering their former friendship renew it with increased affection. The event of these elections places every thing wished for by the whigs beyond doubt. Every important elec- tion, before doubtful, it secures. It not only secures twenty-six repre- sentatives in congress, and thirty electoral votes, but it likewise proves the folly of persisting, in other parts of the union, in those multifarious ma- chinations, whose end is to distract and divide the people. All hopes of this kind are completely blasted.—
Those states to the Eastward, in which the republican interest had been awed for a moment, will, from this proud ex- ample, be animated to new exertion, and will, in all probability, retrieve their characters. Rhode-Island, New Hampshire and Massachusetts will emulate the example of their sister states, and again unfurl the standard of victory. New York, ever the rival of Pennsylvania in true greatness, will imitate with eagerness her magnani- mity and patriotism, will silence the clamors of disaffection, and resolutely determine at such a crisis to sacrifice all local, personal, and narrow affec- tions on the altar of concord. The South and West, always firm and unit- ed, will once more manifest that pa- triotism, which has so often saved their country. Madison will com- mand every republican vote on the continent. These will, in all proba- bility, amount to one hundred and forty. For the only federal votes that can be counted upon, are 19 in Mas- sachusetts, 9 in Connecticut, 3 in Del- aware, 3 in Maryland, and 2 in North Carolina. While in the House of Representatives of the United States the republicans may rationally reckon upon one hundred and four republican to thirty-eight federal members, and in the Senate on twenty-seven repub- lican to seven federal members. A greater triumph they have never ex- pected, or indeed ought they to de- sire. The new administration will li- terally float on the tide of national sup- port.
There is, however, one circumstance of vast importance. The decisive vic- tory of the republicans must not inspire them with SECURITY. Until the Pres- idential election is achieved they must not desert the field. That will be the rallying point of torism. Here every effort, hostile to the true in- terests of the nation, will be made, and it would be treachery to those in- terests not to meet them with the un- divided energy of the republicans. Se- curity often inspires a dangerous con- fidence. Let no one then feel secure until the day of trial is past. What whig is there, in times like these, so base as not to incur cheerfully any in- convenience which may attend the
exercise of that sacred right to which he owes all that is dear to man? Let, then, every honorable exertion be made every where. Where the re- publicans are conscious of a great ma- jority, let them come forth in the ma- jesty of their strength; where victo- ry is doubtful, there let the honorable combat rage; and, where they know themselves to be the minority, still let them, before their country and the world, exhibit their real strength. Thus will our friends and our ene- mies, in the final result, see things in their true colors, and the latter no longer delude themselves with the idea that we are so divided among ourselves that they may turn the ba- lance.
An impudent attempt is making in the federal papers to impress the pub- lic with the idea, that the prints friend- ly to the administration itself, as well as the administration itself, are hostile to the struggle of the Spanish patriots. The charge is pointedly made, among other points, against the National In- telligencer. We have heretofore per- mitted the National Intelligencer to speak for itself, and have treated the calumny, as we have done a thousand others, with silent contempt. It may, however, be useful to say that so far as it applies to us it is absolutely un- founded. Our wishes have been from the commencement of this contest, and are still, most friendly to the suc- cesses of the Spanish patriots. We have felt in the highest degree grati- fied with their triumphs; and we do now most sincerely hope that they will be eventually able to establish the independence of their country. Wretched as we know the old system to have been, we believe that the work of reform, to be effectual, ought to be accomplished by themselves. We believe, likewise, that Napoleon's views being entirely personal, the conquest of Spain by his arms would issue in the exchange of one despo- tism for another, while it would be but too likely to consolidate a power already too gigantic for the liberties of the world. These are no new op- inions relative to the French emperor. They were entertained by us, when he was the idol of the federal party, and we hold them still. We have ex- ulted at every effort of the oppressed to throw off their chains; and with such feelings we could but exult at any prospect, that the Spanish, once brave and noble, should again retrieve the lofty character of their ancestors. Such were our feelings towards them; towards their invaders they were di- rectly opposite. As nothing can jus- tify the invasion of a friendly and un- offending nation, we viewed the in- vasion of Spain by France as an act of the most unwarrantable ambi- tion.
It is true that we have not raised a clamor on this head, or endeavored to make it a party topic. We have not undertaken to pronounce the ad- ministration friendly to the Spanish cause. Even if they were individual- ly so, such interference in us would be highly reprehensible, and would have been denounced most bitterly by the federalist themselves. As an ad- ministration, it would be worse than absurd for them to say any thing about it, as it might tend wantonly to com- mit the peace of the nation. But we demand to know what measure of theirs proves their hostility? We de- mand to know how gen. Washington acted at the commencement of the French revolution? And whether his proclamation of neutrality, defended with so much spirit by Hamilton evinced his hostility to the revolution? We demand to know whether the high whig sentiments invariably entertained by every member of the cabinet is not a sufficient pledge for their attachment to the cause of liberty wherever it exists? A candid an- swer to these enquiries will expose the pitifulness of this attempt to subserve party purposes by means which ought to be totally disconnected from them.
One word more—We have not ex- tolled the active interposition of the English, as the federalists have, and which is the key to their ardor. We do not, with them, give any merit to the English for this interposition. It is solely with the view of promoting their own ends, and if any thing e- ventually shall destroy the hopes of the Spaniards, it will be this very in- terference. Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes. Should the French arms be finally kept at bay, England will be but too apt to exact a hard tribute for her generous services! A nation to be truly independent, in these times, must rest entirely on herself, and distrust the professions of her friends almost as strongly as she resists the violence of her enemies.
By an inadvertence in framing the law passed by the legislature of New- Jersey for the choice of Electors a time has been fixed not within that prescribed by a law of the U. States
in virtue of authority reposed by the constitution in Congress. This law requires that the choice of Electors shall be held during a period within thirty-four days of the 1st Wednesday in Dec. the day fixed for the electors to meet and give their votes for Presi- dent and Vice-President. This in- attention to the act of Congress will render it necessary for the legislature of New-Jersey, either to postpone the time of choosing Electors by the peo- ple, or to take the choice upon them- selves. As the legislature is decid- edly republican, no eventual injury will ensue from this oversight; and whether the choice of electors shall be made by themselves, or by the people, the result will be precisely the same. For the votes recently given prove the great preponderance of the republicans which at a general election for the choice of Electors and Re- presentatives in Congress, will be rendered still more manifest, from the great unanimity prevalent in two or three large republican counties which at the recent elections were contented with bringing out but a small portion of their votes, but which will, in sup- port of a general ticket, bring out all their votes, by which the democratic majority will probably be increased two or three thousand.
The legislature of the Mississippi territory have agreed to a memorial to the President and Congress, ap- proving the measures of the govern- ment of the U. States, and particular- ly the embargo; but requesting a suspension of the payments due to the U. S. during its continuance.
They have likewise passed a resolution, "That the judges of the Su- preme and Circuit Courts, the jus- tices of the several county courts, and the justices of the peace in this terri- tory, be requested to suspend judicial proceedings in their respective courts, in such manner as they in their wis- dom may think themselves authoris- ed to prevent the issuing of execu- tions pending the embargo."
We extract the following from the Washington Federalist, as shewing the little regard paid by certain prints to truth:
"We do not hesitate to declare that no such offer was made to the British ministry until after the elec- tions in the northern states had evin- ced to our chief magistrate that the people would not bear the burdens he had heaped upon them. If Mr. Pinkney, our minister at the court of St. James's, has been instructed to make propositions of the kind, the in- structions were not sent out until the sailing of the St. Michaels , perhaps not until the sailing of the Hope ; so that if our differences are settled with England, we may thank ourselves for it, and not our impartial and candid ad- ministration ."
We have long since assured the public, and we now repeat the as- surance, in the most unqualifed lan- guage, that the proposition, to take off the embargo so far as it relates to England on her rescinding her orders so far as they relate to us, was made by our government immediately after Congress vested the power to suspend the Embargo in the President. The language of our government at this moment is therefore precisely the same as it was six months ago.
Mr. Snyder's present majority for Governor of Pennsylvania exceeds 24,900.
We have received a letter dated Rutland, Oct. 17th, which enables us with confidence to say that the Legis- lature of Vermont is decidedly repub- lican, and will choose electors friendly to Mr. Madison. The following is an extract:
"The Legislature convened last Thursday. At this moment learn that the federal ticket for Gov. prevailed by a bare majority, also ten of the federal council and two republicans. The re- publican ticket for Lieutenant Gov- ernor prevailed, and thank Heaven we have at least twelve majority of Republican members in the House. You will doubtless see it stated in the federal (or rather Jacobinic) prints that there is but nine majority in the House; but as an explanation of this I only need note that three of the federal representatives are elect- ed councillors. In a joint ballot the republicans have five majority, and be assured we shall have Madisonian Electors: for I hardly know a Clintonian in the state; indeed I know not one that professes to be a republican. The House of Rep- resentatives have elected Dudley Chase , Esq. Speaker, Martin Post Clerk, and Thomas Leverett , Secretary of State, all firm republicans, by from ten to twenty majority. The strength of the House was tried in the choice of a Speaker pro tem, and the re- publican majority was nine and one scattering vote. We think we have done well, considering we had to
combat treason, rebellion and British influence on the north, and what is worse Massachusetts and New-Hamp- shire anglo-federalism on the south & east, and every thing else but truth; honesty and honor."
"P. S. I believe that by the free- men of Vermont Gov. Smith is re- elected; but taking in about 400 Ca- nadians and a considerable number of other foreigners, Tichenor is elected."
The President of the United States has appointed BENJAMIN HAR- RISON, Esq. of Charles City, Com- missioner of Loans for the state of Virginia.
That our readers, and the whigs in different parts of the state, may know the choice and be able to discriminate between persons of like names, we think it proper to point out the dis- tricts from which the selection of the electoral ticket was made by the state convention. We have the pleasure to assure our readers, that the answers given by the several candidates, to a circular letter addressed to them by the state committee, are uniformly and explicitly in favor of James Madison for President and George Clinton for Vice-President. Aurora.
We mentioned some days ago that proceedings had been instituted a- gainst major William Jackson and others, on a charge of using threats and violence at the late election for in- spectors in New Market Ward, with a design of unduly influencing and overawing the election, restraining the freedom of choice, and inter- rupting the judges in the execu- tion of their duty—The case was fully discussed before the mayor, on Tues- day and Wednesday last, and testimo- ny on both sides heard with attention and impartiality—the mayor yester- day decided that William Jackson, James S. Smith, and William Milnor, jun. give security each in the sum of two hundred dollars, to appear at the next Mayor's court, to answer to the said charge. The security was enter- ed, and the parties dismissed.
The punishment for this offence, on conviction, is imprisonment at the discretion of the court, not exceeding six months, and a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars. Demo. Press.
Rutland, Oct. 15. The Circuit Court, held in this town, adjourned on Saturday last. The persons against whom bills were found for treason , are John Hoxie, Jacob Hoxie and Frederick Hoxie, who are now in Burlington jail. A special session of the circuit court is to be held at Burlington on the 27th inst. for the trial of these persons. It is said John and Ezekiel Taylor, who are there also confined on a charge of treason, are to be discharg- ed.
Albany, October 14. The legislature of the state of N. York meet in this city, for the pur- pose of choosing Electors of Presi- dent and Vice-President of the United States, on the first day of November. We mention this circumstance to cor- rect a mistake which prevails in some parts of the country, where it is sup- posed that the second Tuesday of No- vember is the day fixed for their meet- ing. It is hoped that every republi- can member will be at his post on the first of November.
