From the London Courier, of Sept. 17. [An anti-ministerial paper.]
AMERICANS—Read and Profit.
"It is by federative associations," says MONTESQUIEU, "that Holland, Germany and the Swiss Leagues, are considered in Europe as eternal Republics." The position of MONTESQUIEU in each of the three instances has been destroyed by the tremendous experience of the French Revolution. Yet surely Switzerland had the least reason to expect, the certainly the least deserved, the hard fate that awaited her. What heart does not melt with pity at the contemplation of the unbroken series of wrongs and insults that have been accumulated upon the head of that devoted country? What arm is not nerved by indignation to break the fetters of the descendants of William Tell upon the heads of these modern Grisslers? The conduct of Switzerland had been irreproachable from the commencement of the war! Openly menaced by some, instigated by others, she resisted every attempt to plunge her into the sin of war, and clung, with filial fondness, to that rigid and exact neutrality which she had received as a sacred inheritance from her forefathers. From this system, equally wise and humane, we are not wholly exempt from the charge of attempting to force her; but no act of hostility sullies our national character, and no murdered inhabitant of Switzerland cries aloud for vengeance against us at the bar of eternal justice. The guilt of these transgressions belongs pre-eminently and indeed exclusively to France.
In the affection which Switzerland bore to the system of neutrality she almost forgot the feelings of a parent. Not an arm was raised to revenge her unfortunate sons murdered at Paris in the faithful discharge of their duties; she deplored their fate, but still persevered in those principles which the happy experience of three centuries had consecrated and confirmed.—From this system France had derived the most solid benefits. Formerly, even in times of war with foreign powers, the French frontier on the side of Switzerland was left entirely unarmed, because the most confident reliance was placed upon the neutrality of the Cantons, and the known integrity and fidelity of their political principles. But in those new and more gigantic plans of warfare and conquest that distinguished the last war; plans which were to combine and connect the operations in Germany with those in Italy, to join as it were the Rhine to the Po, and the Mein to the Mediterranean; Switzerland was viewed as a military position, as a central point that would enable France to grasp Germany with her left, whilst she controuled Italy with her right. Often have we thought that the system of revolutionizing Switzerland was adopted, less with a view to the mere propagation of the principles of French liberty, than from the knowledge that, as long as Switzerland retained her old form of Government, she would not abandon her neutrality, and that in the anarchy consequent upon the dissolution of the old constitution, France might obtain an influence and a station that would enable her to carry her great military views into effect. In the early days of the revolution, in the height of the fury and frenzy of the revolutionary doctrines, the revolutionizing Switzerland never entered into the heads, at least it never was avowed by the ruling demagogues of France.
It is not a little extraordinary, that the Emperor, during the whole time these plans against Switzerland were carrying into execution, remained supine, inactive, and apparently indifferent to them. He knew that the peace of Leoben, and the treaty of Campo Formio, were not likely to be of long duration; and he might have suspected that the proceedings of the Congress at Rastadt were purposely drawn out to such a length, in order to afford time to the French to complete their designs upon Switzerland. Of this he seemed to be too late convinced in his final declaration to the Congress at Rastadt.
What a series of fraud and baseness, of crimes and cruelties followed in quick succession from the first impudent command to the Government of Berne to send away Mr. Wickham, to the insulting propositions of the Minister Mengaud, and the subsequent operations of Schauenbourg and Brune! With what a devotion and a patriotism, with what a courage and an obstinacy, did the virtuous descendants of William Tell, whose swords had rusted in the scabbard for more than
two centuries, defend their rights, their native fields, their flocks and homes! Nor was the patriotic band composed alone of the vigorous and the young. The old and the infirm eagerly availed themselves of the opportunity of offering up their grey hairs at the altar of freedom and their country, and even the female forgot the tears so natural and graceful to her sex, to die by the side of her parents, her husband, her children, or her lover. Oh sacred and sublime devotion! Oh savage warfare!—But the triumph of guilt was complete, and the heroic band was at length overpowered. All the dear recollections, all the monuments of national glory, that swell, expand, and invigorate the heart, were destroyed. The monument to Tell, and the little chapel erected to commemorate the victory of Morat, were destroyed; destroyed too, (to complete the misery of the scene) on the anniversary of the day on which the battle of Morat had been gained 322 years before.
But it was not the subversion of the oligarchy of Berne, it was not the conquest of the great Cantons, that could gratify the revolutionary or military views of France. The invasion of the little cantons presented the same scene of crime and of courage. The peasants quitted their cabins and their cattle to range themselves under the banners of their country—they fought with the courage of despair, and fell nobly resisting their oppressors. They died defending the frontiers of their territory, and resisting the violation of their household goods and their homes. Their affrighted flocks fled to the deserts; the glaciers resounded with the cries of orphans perishing with hunger, and the sources of the Rhine, the Rhone, and the Adda, bore the tears of disconsolate and despairing widows to the most distant seas.
We pass over the events, equally appalling and disgusting, that completed the slavery of the Swiss, and gorged the military and revolutionary appetite of their oppressors. The conquest of the little cantons opened to the French the passage to St. Gothard and a new path to the Milanese enabled them to attack the Grisons on the south-west, and to make themselves masters of the valleys that opened to them the prospect of Italy and the Tyrolese.
That the commission of crimes should ever be suffered to be profitable or advantageous to the authors of them, is one of those dispensations, the reasons for which, our finite understandings may be unable to develope, but which our humanity may be permitted to deplore. The possession of Switzerland gave the French a connection and a contact productive of the most decisive benefits to their military operations. Three armies acted with the promptitude and unity of one, and so admirably were they enabled to concert and conduct operations, that an attack could be made with certainty at the same hour in Germany and in Italy, on the Rhine and on the Po, on the Adige and the Danube. No sense of injustice no "compunctious visitings," could prevail upon the French to suffer the Swiss to return to the former neutrality. The subversion of the Directorial, and the substitution of the Consular Government, brought little alleviation to their misery. To the humble treaty made by Switzerland, a reply was returned, that France could not permit her to resume her neutrality during the continuance of the war; in other words, she would permit her to be neutral when no other Power continued hostile.
The peace at length relieved Switzerland from the burden of a foreign force, and France has relinquished the possession of her territories—she has left a Desert where she found an Eden—she has left misery and confusion, where she found virtue and independence. The seeds of revolution and anarchy have been almost as productive in the soil of Helvetia as they have been in the parent soil of France. Constitutions and forms of Government have succeeded each other with a rapidity surpassed only by the sister republic, and the rage and rancour of civil warfare are now deforming those valleys, and disgracing those peasants, once so pure, and peaceful, and innocent.
That Bonaparte is a careless or inattentive spectator of these transactions will not easily be believed. He has dropt a hint to the Cantons, that should these scenes of disorder continue, the neighbouring powers may feel it necessary to interfere for their own security. Strange contradiction!—This very principle of interference which France condemned and combated in
the allied powers is now proclaimed by France herself!
It will undoubtedly be the policy of the French Government, in future wars with Austria to endeavor to make Switzerland the same military station which she did during the last war. A series of events, however, had prepared and paved the way for that policy which can scarcely be expected to occur again. France had sent her destroying fiend before her—her revolutionary principle,
Pierce as ten furies, terrible as hell, And shook a dreadful dart.—
She had also made use of the interregnum between the preliminaries of Leoben, and the renewal of the war with Austria, to overrun and lay waste the Cantons. But the fever and delirium of the revolutionary principle have abated, and Austria will scarcely imitate her former supineness and indifference to the fate of Switzerland.—It may be, that acquiring a stable form of Government, and forgetting their old animosities to the Grisslers of Austria in their recent animosities to the Grisslers of France the Swiss may throw themselves into the arms of the Cabinet of Vienna. The effect of such a step would be to oblige France to maintain in that part of Switzerland which joins her territories, and in those departments of France which are on the frontiers towards Switzerland, and which have no military posts, an army of forty thousand men.
Whether it would be a wise policy in Switzerland to form an intimate connection with Austria we shall not pretend to determine. That which would be desirable to the latter, would perhaps, be detrimental to the former; for the contingency of France affords her greater facilities of annoying the Cantons.
But this melancholy truth we derive from the contemplation of this unfortunate country. By a prudent and patient regimen she may heal the deep wounds that have been inflicted upon her; she may recover a part of her antient prosperity, but she can hardly be sanguine enough to expect that in any future war she will be permitted to recur to that system of neutrality which constituted her former happiness and independence.
FROM THE NEW YORK EVENING POST.
The Vice President. —We presume that the subject which is this evening allowed to occupy the place usually allotted to the editorial remarks, will be read with a degree of interest not often excited. As introductory to the letters from the Morning Chronicle, and as being necessary to enable the reader rightly to understand and apply their contents, we now give certain passages from the American Citizen. In certain numbers of that paper of October 9, the editor pompously gave this formal "Notice."
"On Tuesday next we shall prove by testimony; first that Mr. Burr has attempted to deceive the republicans of the United States; and second, that his late letter to governor Bloomfield, is an audacious departure from truth."
Dennison & Cheetham.
Having had a sufficient number of the paper struck off in which these mild terms had been employed, as a kind of milk for babes , Cheetham arose at midnight, stopped his press, took out the paragraph, and substituted the following "Notice"
"On Tuesday next we shall prove by testimony; first, that Mr. Burr has been a TRAITOR to his party; and second, that his late letter to governor Bloomfield is a PROFLIGATE and AUDACIOUS departure from TRUTH."
Dennison & Cheetham."
And then the two different editions of the same day's paper were discreetly and cunningly distributed, according to circumstances. This daring attempt on the public was exposed at the time in the Evening Post and Cheetham suffered it to pass without the least reply.
On Tuesday, according to promise, they came out with their 8th letter, and with what they called their testimony , which letter has been published in all the democratic newspapers in the United States, south of New York. The Morning Chronicle alone, among what are called the republican papers, had the firmness to say that the proofs promised, had not been produced, and he met with a moderate share of scurrilous abuse from the alien editors of the Citizen and Aurora, for the decency of his behavior.
In the eighth letter so much vaunted of,
and containing the whole strength of the junto , not even an approach has been made to produce what we Americans understand by testimony, though perhaps the Citizen may have been sincere, when he supposed assertion was the synonyma of testimony , and the Aurora may very probably have the't so also; for the editors of these papers neither by education nor habit, have any idea of the distinction between truth and falsehood, virtue and vice, or know any thing of the decencies or civilities of life; it is therefore a little unreasonable and certainly quite useless to expect from them the least accuracy in the use of terms. Without further observations of this sort we now present our federal readers who have not seen their eighth letter, with the following extracts, from the Citizen, of October 12. They will perceive from what follows, why we select those applicable to Mr. Ogden.
"We then declare that the federal gentleman who negotiated with Mr. Burr, & who was authorized to do so by the leading federal members of Congress , then assembled at Washington, is DAVID A. OGDEN, Esq. counsellor at law. David A. Ogden, resides in this city."
"More than eight months ago we knew that Mr. Ogden was the negotiator; and it is now stated as an undeniable truth."
"On the 16th day of December, 11 days only after the South-Carolina news was received, Mr. David A. Ogden engaged a seat in the mail stage for Philadelphia. It is probable that previous to his going to Philadelphia, he conferred with Mr. Burr, on the subject of effecting his election to the presidency, by the efforts of the federal party, & that he went to Washington to consult with the leading federal members of congress on the scheme. It is believed that Mr. Ogden had no professional business to transact at Washington, and it is therefore difficult to conjecture what induced him, at that bleak season of the year, to visit the seat of government, unless to consult with the federal members of congress on the project to negotiate with Mr. Burr the terms of his election to the Presidency. We believe that Mr. Ogden went to Washington expressly for that purpose, and that he previously conferred with Mr. Burr on the design."
"We have stated that Mr. Ogden left this city in the mail stage for Philadelphia on the 27th day of December. The following certificate, which proves that Mr. Burr and himself rode together in the same mail, establishes the facts:
"New-York, Saturday, 27th Dec. 1800, one o'clock."
MAIL STAGE.
Mr. Ogden, 1 seat to Philad. £. 3 6 Col. Burr, 2 seats to Princeton, 3 15 6
I certify that the above is a true copy from the stage books.
MATTHIAS C. LYON."
"Mr. Burr and Mr. Ogden might have ridden together in the mail without preconcert; whether they did so or not every reader will judge for himself. To us this simple fact speaks a pertinent and eloquent language; it indicates much."
"Mr. Ogden did not remain long at Washington. While there he was authorized by the leaders of the federal party to negotiate with Mr. Burr concerning the terms on which that party proposed to elect him President of the United States. Thus commissioned, Mr. Ogden returned to this city early in January, 1801, had an interview with Burr, and submitted to him propositions which shall bye and bye be explained. To these propositions Mr. Burr assented."
"That opposition to Mr. Jefferson in the house, which alarmed the country and brought it to the brink of civil war, was founded on the negotiation concluded between Mr. Burr and Mr. Ogden."
After proceeding to state some particulars, he thus concludes, "How then stands the account? First, that Mr. Burr negotiated, as stated in the "view of his political conduct," with a federal gentleman to effect his election to the Presidency.—Second, that Mr. David A. Ogden of this city, was the negotiator."
"Third, Mr. Ogden went from this city to Washington to consult with the leaders of the federal party, at the seat of government, on the 27th of December, 1800. Mr. Burr and himself rode together in the mail. Mr. Ogden was authorized at Washington to negotiate with Mr. Burr the terms on which the federal party proposed to elect him to the Presidency. Mr. Ogden returned with great expedition. About the 15th of January 1801,

Mr. Ogden completed the negotiation with Mr. Burr.
"Fourth. It appears that Mr. Burr, on the first interview with Mr. Ogden entered fully and cordially into his views, and assented to his propositions:"
"Such is the state of this deep-laid plot, such the agents who have been active in it; and happy indeed is it for the country that it is at length brought to light."
After the appearance of this letter, Cheetham, "Of his own importance full," sat down and took a pinch of snuff. He was a very great man! and so was "cousin Denniston," his partner, whose name is always coupled with his in the paper, to give it weight! and a pretty concert they make together!
"Thrice happy union to entrance the soul! How like the notes of cats, a vocal pair, By boys (to catch their wild & mingled air) Ty'd tail to tail, and thrown across a pipe!"
After a little rest, he resumed the subject, playfully; he was as mischievous as a monkey, and for a week together let off his squibs and crackers at Mr. Burr and all his particular friends with the greatest success. One gentleman got him to print a denial, under his own hand, of the facts in which he was implicated, and he was turned into ridicule; a second, under the solemnity of an oath, contradicted his statements, and his oath was insolently sneered at. It was repeated again and again, that Colonel Burr had applied to Mr. Ogden, and Mr. Ogden had refused to give a certificate of the falsehood of the statement respecting himself, although at that time Colonel Burr had not seen Mr. Ogden. A broad laugh was set up respecting this application to Mr. Ogden, and the Clintonians went to market for a week together and chaffered with the butchers and huckster women with a broad grin of delight on their faces. This was all suffered quietly to pass; but now, when the flush of imaginary victory has a little subsided, doctor Irving has taken a very proper and correct step to set the public right in this particular. His well-written letter to Mr. Ogden and the reply, which have appeared in the morning Chronicle of this day * we here subjoin, without comment.
In this controversy we take no part, we have taken none nor do we mean to, further than a love of truth and fairness; and a detestation of all that is base and malicious may compel us, in common with all the better part of the community.— When will the character of the Citizen arrive at its proper standing? It yet receives something of a support in this city, small indeed, but enough to keep it on its legs, and some decent people, it is said, suffer their names still to remain on the subscription list.

PHILADELPHIA, November 30.
By the last London papers it appears, that citizen Otto is not to come out minister to this country, having been appointed in that capacity to the court of Lisbon.
Yesterday arrived the brig Joseph and James, capt. Watson, from Port Republican, which he left the second inst.—Capt. Watson mentions that it was not so sickly as it has been, but notwithstanding which, the fever still makes ravages among the European soldiers.
Capt. W. says, that he understood the French were preparing to evacuate Saint Marks, Gonaives and Leogane—That the blacks were in possession of L'Archaye, from whence they fired on the brig Joseph and James as she passed that place, but without effect.
The force at port Republican does not amount to more than 3000 troops and 2000 white inhabitants, a force too inadequate to make any great impression on the large body of negroes in arms in that neighborhood, between whom frequent skirmishes take place, which has little other effect, than the reduction of both parties.
At St Mark's, the French growing jealous of the black troops in their pay, drew up 600 of them and surrounded them, with an intention of disarming them, but the negroes refused to deliver up their arms, and fired on the surrounding troops, which they returned, and every negro was massacred on the spot!
Cruelty seemed to be the order of the day at Hispaniola. A few days before captain W. sailed, a brigand boat was taken and brought in, all the brigands except two were killed. One of those brought in said, that they had some little time before, taken a schooner full of white women, all of whom they put to death,
and that his comrade, who then lay wounded near him, had with the worm fixed on his ramrod, twisted out the eyes of several of the white women while alive.
On coming thro' the Bite of Leogane, he saw a great number of dead negroes and some few whites floating in the sea and he was told that a schooner weekly and perhaps oftener at P. Republican took 100 or 150 negroes on board, carried them out of the port, and on the first or second night stowed them, burning brimstone in the hold, and then threw the bodies overboard. We have been told something of the same kind was supposed to be practised at the Cape. A brig there frequently took a number of blacks on board, went to sea and in a few days returned empty, what become of them, our informant did no pretend to say.
Captain W. says it was reported that Christophe and Dessalines, with a large portion of the blacks who were in the service of the French revolted, but this, with any account he could get from Cape Nicholas were so vague and they were scarce worth repeating; every account however seems to predict the total evacuation of that Island, by the French, without a considerable reinforcement, which from any thing we have seen, seems rather at a distance.
Captain W. saw seven sail of the line, apparently for Jamaica.
Arrived brig Joseph & James, Watson, Port Republican.
Cleared, ships Philadelphia, Raper, Antwerp; Margaret, Brown, Liverpool; Snow William, Quadrille, Madeira; Brig Friendship, Deane, Cayenne; schr's Messenger, Burroughs, St. Thomas; Hannah, Phippen, Salem; Fame, Barker, Boston; sloop Hiland, Hand, Alexandria.
Capt. Watson left at Port Republican, brig two Sifers, Watson, and Lovely Lucy, Brewer, of and for Philadelphia, the latter to sail in 10 or 12 days.
Also, brig —, Grafton, of Baltimore.
The brig Friendship, O'Connor, failed 10 days and schr Edward & Edmund, Veacock, 1 day before the Joseph & James both for Philadelphia.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3.
COMMERCIAL.
At Liverpool, Sept. 28, beef was in demand, tar 26s. slaves in demand.
Americans are only allowed to carry flour, fish, and lumber, to Martinique, Are obliged to receive produce in part pay. The duties are 2 1/2 on imports, 5 on exports. American vessels are only allowed to lay 2 hours off a harbor without coming in.
Capt. Brown from Surinam, states, that there was no beef or pork at market or in store; that flour was from 10 to 11 dolls. but there was no sale for other American produce.
By the existing laws of the colony of Guadalupe, the duties on articles permitted to be imported, are as follows:
Beef, 6 livres tournois (111 cents) pr. 102 lb. Pork, the same duty, Codfish, do. in addition to the general duty of 2 per cent.
Flour, Lumber, Cattle, Rice, and all other articles permitted, pay a general duty of 2 per cent. ad valorem.
Duties of Sugars, Coffee and Cotton, 11 per cent. ad valorem, on Molasses and Rum, 5 1/2 pr. cent.
No foreign vessels are permitted to take off more produce than is equal to the amount of their inward cargo.
We are told, that some short time ago, information being given to the commandant at Hispaniola, that a schr was supplying the blacks with military stores, &c. a French frigate was dispatched to seize her, when a chase of 15 days took place, and the schr got into St. Thomas, before the frigate, where the captain ran under the protection of the fort and 2 Danish frigates, laying there. The Frenchman followed, and immediately sent his barge with a body of marines, and took possession of the schooner, notwithstanding her being in a foreign port, under the protection of its guns. The captain of the schooner having pushed on shore as soon as he came to anchor, the French captain demanded him of the Governor. The Governor replied, he could not deliver up a burgher, which the captain of the schr was; what farther took place our informant did not learn. [True Am.]
SHAM PATRIOTS.
An editorial article in the Courier of New-Hampshire (a paper published at Concord, and conducted with energy and ability) gives a description of various kinds of patriots. The following is particularly just:—
"There is a kind of Patriots, that arise in moments of national prosperity; who, enjoying the benignity of a free government, direct all their rage to shake its foundations, or raise themselves to its guidance; who
"Put on the thick wove garment of pretension,
"And, in the close disguises of that mask,
"-Filsch confidence from unsuspecting men."
