FROM THE REPERTORY.
COMMUNICATION.
The National Intelligencer, which is considered as much Mr. Jefferson's own newspaper as the Moniteur is Bonaparte's, informs, us that the disposition of the British Government towards the United States is not in the least hostile, the sweepstakes of our commerce by their captures notwithstanding. For a long time this insipid Gazette was silent on the subject, and we felt some natural impatience to know what our lords and masters would say, at least, about wrongs and losses that we feel, though it seems they do not. We know they hate Great Britain, and we know, too, that they feared her. But we did suppose they feared almost as much to own that they are afraid, and therefore we expected a column or two of bluster. We are disappointed. Their spirits are too completely in their shoes even to bluster. "Go to war and put our power and popularity in harm's way for commerce! we are not so near mad." We do not ask our solomons in council to take the field. They give us leave to say "the bloody Arena" is no sporting ground for them. War is not our desire, but protection is. We claim it, we pay for it, we are entitled to it; and unless New-England be as ready as subject as the slaves of Virginia, our voice will be heard with effect as far as Washington; and perhaps, through our shrewd Monroe, as far as London.
This diplomatic body, says the Intelligencer, has had a conference with Lord Mulgrave. A good beginning truly, but like Lord Burleigh in the Critick, it seems our advocate said nothing. The subject we are told was not discussed in detail, in plain English was not discussed at all.
How could it be? Mr. Munroe has had instruction upon instruction about the river Perdido, which to the commercial part of the nation is of no more concern than the cession or the free navigation of the river Styx.
But our land mad government has never yet set pen to paper about such paltry interests as commerce and navigation. And if it had written as much as Mr. Munroe's libel on Washington, what could poor Mr. Munroe do with the vindication of our national rights on the high seas. It is a subject of which he not only knows nothing, but is utterly incapable of being taught. An unsuccessful Virginia Lawyer, who was brought up in the habit of considering trade as a trickish affair, that enabled Scotchmen to engross all the money that a planter could get from the labour of his slaves; this is our champion. This is our advocate, who is "to discuss the business in detail with Lord Mulgrave." It would be a pleasant comedy, if we were not so great losers, to overhear the discussion. Our orator Mum, we verily believe, will pose the English Lord. We defy him before hand to answer Mr. Munroe's argument in detail.
This, men of business, is your situation. The administration scarcely holds you worth the hypocrisy of some big swelling words of vanity, to make you believe your rights are in some degree regarded.
We repeat it, war is not our desire; nor is the administration called upon to go to war unless our national honor should, which we hope it will not require it. But that we may avoid this dire extreme, we ought to employ men as ministers, who, like our former diplomatic worthies in London, could do something to serve us if they tried. Men of capacity and weight of character. The miserable Monroe is surely more despised in England since his shameful letter from France than Napper Tandy. If Napper were now alive, we might as well commission him to discuss those nice and important matters, "in detail" with Lord Mulgrave, as our sagacious Munroe.
The views of Great Britain says the Intelligencer are not hostile. We believe it. Tameness that is dumb, as well as unresisting, will not soon provoke blows. Excellent consolations these. Let us persevere, "respected abroad" as the administration gazette tells us, we are; we shall be stripped in two years of our last dollar. No matter, we shall escape war: for "the views of Great Britain are not hostile."

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12.
Yesterday, agreeably to the articles of association, an election was held for twelve Directors of the Bank of Potomac, for the ensuing year, when the following gentlemen were chosen.
Jacob Hoffman, Thomas Vowell, jun. Robert Young, Cuthbert Powell, William Hartshorne, William Fitzhugh, John G. Ladd, Joseph Riddle, Elisha Fanney, James H. Hoee, James Patton, William Hodgson.
We are informed that on the evening of the 7th instant, FULWAR SKIPWITH, the American Consul General in France, arrived at Williamsburg. That Mr. Skipwith left France on the 15th September, and on his way received letters bearing date the 20th of the same month. This is rapid sailing, and consequently brings the latest European advices. Mr. Skipwith states (it is said) that when he left France, and at the date of his letters, the differences between this country and Spain were entirely unsettled, and in no way that seemed to promise accommodation. (Virginia Gazette.)
The brig Rambler, Tiers, from Africa, anchored at Quarantine yesterday morning. Capt. T. a few days since spoke the brig Thomas, captain Young, five days from St. Thomas, for Boston, and was informed by captain Y. that a Spanish packet in 36 days from Spain, with dispatches for Porto Rico, had touched at St. Thomas, bringing accounts of Spain having declared War against the United States. This information was confirmed by a passenger, who stated that insurance had risen to per cent. in consequence of these accounts. (Charleston Times.)
[We give the above as we find it—If, however, such a misfortune had really been resorted to by the Spanish government, we hardly think it probable that a packet, dispatched to her colonies with the intelligence, would stop at a neutral island to communicate the news, and thereby deprive the Spanish privateers of a fine booty, by enabling our commercial brethren in the West-Indies to provide for their own safety. (Courier.)
The American schooner Nelson, Thompson, from Savanna la mar, (Jam.) for Charleston, was captured on the 14th inst. in lat. 24, off the coast of Florida, by the Spanish privateer El Vengenga, Antonio Ric, master, who took from Captain Thompson upwards of 9000 dollars in specie, then took out all his people, and put on board a prize master and six men, and ordered her for Campeachy, but after the privateer left the schooner, Capt. Thompson prevailed on the prize master to carry her into Mariel, ten leagues from the Havanna, where the owner of the privateer resided, and had hopes that he would be able to recover his losses from him.
The schooner Letitia, Franklin, from Philadelphia for New Orleans, was captured on the 16th instant, off the Matanzas, and sent into Havanna, by the Spanish privateer Vengeance, Captain Antonio Rouett.
Extract of a letter from Cape Francois, dated the 13th October, 1805.
"You doubtless will have received long ere this reaches you, the late imperial decree, regulating the consignment of Neutral Vessels, arriving in this island.
This decree has deprived even a resident, patented merchant, of the right of receiving and disposing of his own, as well as the property of his friend, except in case where it may arrive to his own number, in rotation.
There are eight patented merchants at this place, five of which are Indigenes, and three only Americans.
It is now ascertained, that it is the intention of the emperor, that the business of all vessels arriving here, whether directly consigned or not, shall be done by said merchants, in rotation, and that the said Decree will be very rigorously enforced.
A deputation of American merchants have lately been on to Gonaives, had an audience with the emperor, strongly remonstrated against the injustice of the decree and pointed out to him the destructive consequences which might be expected to ensue, from its being enforced. He, however, suffered them to return without giving them the smallest satisfaction whatever.
I therefore most earnestly recommend to you and all your friends, not to make any more shipments to this island, until some favorable change takes place, of which, you may be assured, I shall give you the earliest information."

destination, for the purpose of enquiring relative to the blockade of Bremen; or an application might be made upon that for a license, either to import and sell here, if that can be done; or to go to some neutral port, which may be fixed upon. Whatever is determined, no time should be lost. (Signed) F. LAURENCE. Doctors Commons, June 19, 1805. CASE. A Bremen ship, laden with a cargo of Spanish colonial produce (American property) destined from the Havanna, to Cowes and a market. Your opinion is requested, whether, when she arrives, she can be legally sent on to Holland; or, if not to Holland, may she go to any neutral port? OPINION. Referring to his majesty's instructions, respecting the colonial trade, it appears to me, that no part of this voyage is, or can be made legal. (Signed) I. NICHOLL. June 18th, 1805. From the New-England Palladium.
May it not be hoped that the war recommenced in Europe, will have a happy effect on the affairs of America? We speak not from sordid but philanthropic views. From the unpardonable neglect of our government, for we have something called by that name, our treaties with European powers were either broken with impunity, or our rights violated for want of national stipulations, and war or absolute contempt & submission to injury would very soon have become our only alternatives. Knowing, as we do the weakness of the present administration, and that its popularity rests only on the prevalence of prejudices and opinions, which would for ever deprive the country of the means of a vigorous self defence, we cannot but consider it as providential, that the energies of foreign powers must now be exerted towards other objects—With England, France and Spain we have subjects of discussion. Neither England, France, nor Spain, wish a misunderstanding with the United States. We have therefore once more a glorious opportunity for the immediate exercise of a policy, which may establish the character of our nation for wisdom and liberality. To exact less than justice would be disgraceful in the extreme; to take advantage of existing circumstances, and assume a tone which we dare not, at other times, would be no less dishonorable, and futile in the end. Though war would precipitate the downfall of the present administration, God forbid, that to gratify revenge, we should wish to see our nation involved in distress. No, we feel grateful to that kind providence, which protects our country, that circumstances now present a fair opportunity for averting this evil and yet securing respect from the belligerent powers of Europe. Though we wish the administration of our government taken from the hands of the intriguing, the base, and incompetent, so many rays of hope have unexpectedly appeared in different parts of the Union, our solicitude is, in a great degree, diminished. The triumph of democracy, has disclosed the abominable selfishness of those who were its distinguished votaries. It produces collisions which the people see, and has already afforded evidence of a just resentment. We shall need no war to convince the American public that the desertion of its friends was unfortunate. Let the federalists only remain firm & watchful, their enemies will soon develop their own characters and nothing further will be necessary to produce a cordial reunion of all the well wishers to our country. The famous Kotzebue states in the German Journal, of which he is the editor, that after a dreadful fall of hail, on the 8th of July, at Landshut, in Silesia, the inhabitants were surprised that the hailstone did not melt. On examination, they found they were PEAS, which, boiled, proved excellent fare!! STATE PRISONERS. Some of the State Prisoners in Kilmainham gaol, wearied out with long confinement, and not possessing the means of supporting their families, have, we hear, volunteered to go to America, on government paying their expences, which, we are informed, has been acceded to and they are to take their passage in the first vessel that sails for any of the ports of that country. This measure is considered as a prelude to a general gaol delivery of all those persons confined on suspicion of State offences. (London paper.)
&c. and unrove a part of our running rigging. All our stores, quadrants, charts, what money they could find* my hat, boots, shoes, writing desk, watch, pistols and even bosom pin, did not escape their rapacity. However we consider ourselves fortunate in coming off with one thing, that they almost frightened us out of—I mean our lives."
* The loss of this vessel was about six hundred dollars; they did not plunder the cargo.
The late statistical history of France, published by Herbin, will exhibit the probable population of that Empire. Mirabeau the elder, in 1754, gave the population of France at 18 millions. The Abbe D'Exilly, in 1772, gave it 22 millions, when Buffon gave it 21 millions, and Bouvillet Desbrosses, in 1789, reported 27 millions. In 1791, the Committee of the assembly reported it the first time at 28 millions, but at the second time, at 26 millions. M. Brong published in 1797, the actual population including Corsica, at 31 millions. Of these, 26 millions were on the ancient domain of France, above three millions were on the re-united provinces, and one and an half on the countries between the Rhine and Moselle. In 1798, De Pere reported to the Council 33 millions, including 28 millions on the territory of France, 3 millions on the re-united provinces, 35 thousand on the territory of Geneva, and one and an half million in the departments on the left bank of the Rhine. The returns by the prefects, in August, 1802, gives the general population of 33 millions, but this population was increased nearly two millions by the re-union of Piedmont, an Island of Elba, in September, 1802. This number is judged not far from truth, especially if we employ the large numbers, and omit the fractions. If to this population we add that of Holland and of Italy, and the countries in which the French have controul, we shall find a vast power in the present state of the French Empire.—When the population of France was given at 26 millions; above 20 millions were considered as inhabitants of the country, and above 5 million in the cities. Des Brosses in his work on the wealth of France, adds above one million to the above amount of the population, and gives above 7 millions to the cities, so that the population of the country to the cities is about 3 to one. The Great Lavoisier divides the population of France into the following classes. Population of large towns, not including cultivators, at 8 millions; workmen, 6 millions; labourers in agriculture, 4 millions; vintagers at one million and 700ths. Proprietors of Vineyards 800,000; Shopkeepers, &c. at the charge of agriculture, one million and 3 tenths. Proprietors living on the produce of their estates, 450 thousand. In the class of sailors, manufacturers, nobles, ecclesiastics, &c. only 50 thousand short of two millions, and the French army at 250,000, giving in all 25 millions. This gives the city population as 8 to 17. [Salem Register.]
A commercial friend has politely favored us (the Charleston Times) with a copy of the following interesting document:— CASE. A Bremen ship, laden with a cargo of Spanish colonial produce (American property) destined from the Havanna, to Cowes and a market. Your opinion is requested, whether, when she arrives, she can be legally sent to Holland; or, if not to Holland, may she go to any neutral port? OPINION. The instruction issued by his majesty for the present war, have not that exemption which existed in the former instructions in favor of neutral vessels coming from any hostile colony. The destination, therefore, which was protected in the late war, to Cowes and a market, is now left as an open question under the law of nations; and the legality of it has accordingly been contested by the king's advocate: though, as the case to which I allude, arose from a voyage to the Cape of Good Hope, the judge of the admiralty held the general principle not to apply as to a voyage from a West India colony. The only clearly legal destination would be to Bremen; or, on account of the blockade, to some neighboring port, whence the cargo might be conveyed, without a breach of blockade, to Bremen. In the present state of business, the best measure that I can advise, is, to send off directions as soon as possible to Cowes, before the vessel arrives, and to be communicated the moment she appears, ordering her to the Cyder, or Tonningen, or some port or place considered as proper for a ship destined for Bremen, and giving the touching at Cowes, the appearance of a
of a letter from William Godwin, esq. of Bristol. The supercargo of the brig Stork, Walter Wolff, master, belonging to James Wolff, esq. of Bristol. We sailed from Newport the 21st of March and in 26 days, (during which we were constantly perplexed with head winds and calms) we found ourselves in lat. 36, N. long. 38, W. On the evening of the 18th being thick and squally, we were caught by a French privateer of 14 guns and our captain was ordered to get out of the boat and come on board with his papers which was immediately complied with. After they sent six men armed, who took possession of the vessel and ordered us on board the privateer. Eight men, Adams the mate, and myself embarked in a small leaky skiff, which the pirates for the purpose, forbidding us to take the long boat, which was along side. We shot proceeded far from the vessel, before one of the men cried out the boat is going down! I threw off my great coat and prepared myself for swimming, but fortunately found a bucket and kept her free until reached the privateer. They conducted us, and seated us on a chest of arms, examined us one by one with a lanthorn, in order to discover if any of us were Frenchmen; we the wiswacres declared to a fellow countryman of theirs; the rest were driven into the hold and had a hard set over them. Having examined our papers, and finding I was the supercargo, they swore I was the son of some English merchant to whom the property belonged. I was ordered down into the hold, and as I was descending one of them directed a blow which met me so forcibly that I lay motionless for some time at the bottom of the hold. When I came to myself I found I had lost a considerable quantity of blood, but this did not distress me half so much as the gloomy prospect of what was to follow; being convinced by their conduct that they were PIRATES. I found the place, in which I was confined, was filled with different kinds of plunder, and by what I could learn with my ear at the bulk head, I was satisfied my captain was coming off worse than myself: Thus you may well suppose
"The dreadful post of observation" Darkened every hour." "Their boats were employed the whole night in conveying plunder from our vessel. I was not permitted to see captain Cornell: the first reception he met, was with the butt of a pistol, which stunned him; they beat him; tore the hair from his head and otherwise abused him in a most inhuman manner. They then wrote for him to sign what they termed a "CAPITULATION," the burden of which was, that our cargo was English property: on his refusal they threatened to put him to torture, until he should consent. Finding the actual tortures of the body and constant menace of repetition did not shake his firmness, they attempted his paternal feelings in a manner at the recital of which humanity revolts. The captain's little son was left asleep in the cabin when we came on board the privateer; he was now taken on deck and lashed to the shrouds, where these merciless wretches scourged him in a manner too barbarous for conception, in order to carry their villainous project into effect. The father was released from his confinement, and from the deck of the robber, he witnessed this affecting sight. The cries of his son however soon forced him below. Here he was threatened with the like treatment, if he did not immediately sign the "CAPITULATION," which he perseveringly refused. "After they had beaten the child as long as they had thought proper, he was unbound and commanded to find English colors; on declaring it was out of his power (there not being any on board the brig) one of them drew a sword and threatened to cut off his head. He immediately ran down into the cabin and finding he was pursued, he jumped out at one of the windows. The privateersmen manned their boat and took him in. He was thrown senseless on the deck with his hands tied behind him and thus they left him. "About 11 o'clock the next forenoon I was called up and ordered into the boat; soon after the captain joined me and we were all dismissed from the privateer,—which immediately bore away—we found all our men on board. The first object which demanded our attention was the captain's son whom we stripped, of his wet clothes and put him to bed. His wounds for six or eight days were painful, but he has since quite recovered. "Our vessel was plundered in a shameful manner. The pirates broke open all our chests & trunks, and took nearly every article of cloathing except what we had on. They also took our spare sails, cordage,
