FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1806.
PAID IN ADVANCE.
Twenty Dollars Reward.
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail a young Mulatto man named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas who keeps the old ferry to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has fair curly hair and is frequently subject to have several large pimples on his face. He is reckoned to be a 'tendle fellow' of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his employment, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in jail shall receive from me the above reward, or as soon due information thereof is given to me or to Dr. N. P. Causin at Port Tobacco.

A BARGAIN.
THE subscriber offers for sale the farm he now occupies, containing near 300 acres with or without the stock thereon. It is distant from the cities of Georgetown and Washington, about five miles, and well known as a healthy situation. There is much fine fruit thereon, and abounds with springs, affording a good water as in the United States, a considerable proportion of the land has been in clover, and from thirty to forty acres fit for the hay the ensuing summer. It is now in a very improving state, being altogether clear of broom ledge, and from 40 to 60 acres ploughed and prepared for a spring crop, and from 30 to 40 acres well set with wheat and rye—some part of the land is calculated for tobacco and planer of parsnips and other root vegetables. The dwelling house and other improvements may with small repairs, be rendered very comfortable. From its vicinity to two growing cities many advantages result in supplying the markets. A purchaser may calculate on a good bargain, particularly if an early application be made. Some part of the purchase money will be required in cash or approved negotiable paper; the remainder rendered easy, or negroes received in payment. The subscriber or William Scary residing on the farm will show it when required, and the terms made known by application to Mr. John Thompson, George Town, or Dr. Wm. Thornton Washington.

POLITICAL VIEWS.
No. 1.
IN former papers we sketched without a studied attention to style or manner, such political considerations as appeared to arise naturally out of the contemplation of the present state of European nations, and the changes which must inevitably arise out of events so extensive and extraordinary as have arisen in Europe, since the wars of the convention at Piltz.
We have endeavored to fathom futurity, and to anticipate political revolutions of a momentous kind in the north and in the east of Europe. We propose taking the same subjects up, under a different form, though the operation of events which we have surmised, we deem consentaneous and inseparable from the new point of view in which we propose to examine the subject.
Our former speculations embraced only the military and the governmental transactions and their consequences. The discussions which we now propose embrace the commercial consequences, and the commercial incitements which have given direction to the combined operations of war in the Mediterranean and the Baltic.
The principal commercial consequences that must arise from the revolutions which have taken place, & that are to follow, would embrace the internal communications between the nations of Europe and the interior navigation of the continental states. These are no doubt the most important to the people of the populous and commercial nations of that section of the globe, and afford ample scope for interesting enquiries.
But they do not so immediately belong to the views we have already taken; it must be acceptable to those who have not leisure to study such topics to find an abstract view taken of the subject in this form; to perceive how policy and war operate in the course and direction of universal commerce. There is another consideration, and that is a strong one, which leads us to prefer an examination of the influence of the existing state of things on the external commerce of Europe, rather than the internal, and that is the direct and the indirect effects which may be produced on the commerce of the United States.
The commerce of the U. S. may derive pecuniary advantages from changes in the Baltic, by the enhancement of the prices of commodities, of which the like are produced here—our iron, timber, lumber, hemp, pitch, tar, &c. may find a more ready and advantageous market in Europe, if the Baltic should be closed by either power, against the rival power.
But the most important consideration, and it comprehends reasonings and consequences, both of policy and commerce, is what relates to the trade of the Mediterranean—the whole of the Levant trade—and its incidental commerce with Asia, Egypt, and Africa.
It is well known, that young as we are among nations, the commerce of the Mediterranean has been deemed of the utmost consequence, by successive legislatures. To the commercial nations of Europe generally, it has been deemed of the highest importance. It is to sustain and to secure this commerce, that Gibraltar, Minorca, and Malta have been so often taken, and made the ostensible causes of war. It is the commercial riches derived from this great reservoir that has stimulated the ambition of Russia, of Austria, of England, and of France; at different periods.
From these obvious truths, it is reasoning in a direct line, to infer that France, while she aims at the reduction of British power, by shutting her commerce out from the ports of Europe, will not, if practicable, leave her unopposed in the enjoyment of the Levant and the Mediterranean trade.
"France wants ships, colonies and commerce." So said Bonaparte. On the shores and islands of the Archipelago, on the semi-barbarised soil of the once classic Greece, on the ancient theatre of the sciences and the arts, philosophy, eloquence & arms, are to be found sites for colonies, prepared with a hardy but scattered race of men, to receive the impression which French vivacity and comprehensive ambition may be desirous of making; where the surplus of its forty millions of population will find new dwellings, and new fields for adventure, that novelty which it is the national characteristic to seek, and without those delays or discouragements with which long voyages are apt to blast the enterprises of an ardent and versatile people.
"France wants ships," and in the forest which shade the shores of the Propontis and Euxine, from Moldavia and Wallachia, is to be found the stately capped oak, & the cluster oak, (Quercus Orientalis, latifolia, &c. and the Quercus Orientalis, glande cylindri-formis,
of Tournefort) and which are to be found in their forests, together with the (Quercus cerris) Turkey oak, in the forests from the Trebisond throughout Asia Minor, and Syria; where the Pinus pinea (or stone pine) and the Larico (or Corsican pine) are likewise abundant, and every species of wood and timber known in the naval arsenals of Europe.
Long before the revolution, the French government had procured masts, spars, yards, and heavy timber for ships, equal to those brought from the Baltic in the Levant, and from the ports of the Euxine and Moldavia, from Galas and Smope, from Cattaro and the Gulph of Loria; from Durazzo, Janina, and the Cephalonian Straits; from Patros and Lavidia; from the Gulphs of Salonica and Contessa. The alliance of the power of France, may draw materials for ships, for war or for commerce, and cargoes to load them. In Peloponnesus now called the Morea, which once contained the celebrated Spartans, and from whom will proceed incentives to rouse those passions which never fail to influence war;—from that Sparta, colonies of which were the progenitors of the modern Corsicans, an alliance by new colonies will serve to destroy prejudices which want but some such assimilation to render them scarcely objects of conversation; seeing the glory which Corsican genius has shed upon France, educated and assimilated at once by habit and by glory, to her fame and destinies.
In the Morea, there will be founded those colonies which France wants—There are ports, harbors, materials for naval equipment, and the most ample resources that now exist, for universal commerce. At every step, classic example and emulation, furnished incentives to enterprise and to fame—Athens, Lycaonia, Corinth, Argos, Tigalia, and Lacedemon, Messenia, and an hundred other places memorable in classic history, give interest and importance to the ancient Peloponnesus, the modern Morea; and on the adjacent shores formed by the Salonica and Corinthian gulphs, Achaia and Attica—Athens and their fame—Megara and Thespia, Thebes and Boetia, and their thousand associate nations. Thessaly, Macedon, & Epirus flash upon the mind—here the spirit of a nation proverbially vivacious and elevated by glory and triumphant example, find a theatre to striate their ambition—and resources already prepared to gratify the most covetous cravings of commerce.
In a word, there exists at once the means of temptation and gratification, superadded to a political necessity, arising out of the meditated destruction of France by the conspirators at Piltz—which compels France to rule and to counteract all those who would have destroyed, and would still destroy her.
Notwithstanding that the Mediterranean was once the centre of universal commerce, and although even since the passage round the Cape of Good Hope, it has been the chief mart of Europe, the knowledge of its immense resources & riches—has been by the spirit of mercantile monopoly & selfishness, confined to a few companies and a few adventurous merchants in different countries, who have ever considered it their best policy to keep within themselves that knowledge, which, if diffused, might excite competition, & overtrade the market.
Knowledge on this, as well as all other subjects, always leads to enterprise; the American merchants have penetrated the remotest bays and inlets—the islands and gulphs of the Levant—Syria and Egypt, Cyrene and the African shores, have lent their winds to fill the American canvas, and to display the colors of the new world.
Through the industry and liberality of an American, well acquainted by a long residence and a studious attention to the commerce of the Levant, the Italian & Barbary coasts, and the channels of the Propontis and the Euxine, we are possessed of abundance of facts, from which the dispassionate and discerning reader will be able to determine with what degree of reasonable probability we have formed many of our anticipations and conclusions on those political relations of the powers of Europe, which we have constantly discussed. These data shall be the basis of future essays.
The discussion will enable men who think correctly, to discover the mistakes of those who declaim from passion, rather than consult common sense; it will show that even ambitious men are not so indifferent to common sense or to the superior and more splendid incitements of their particular interests that superficial writers are willing to allow, or capable of discerning; and in proportion as these truths are rendered clear, intelligible, and incontrovertible, will be able to smile at the fancies with which we are sometimes amused by those, who, for want of data, or sober reflection, resort to the imagination to supply the place of facts.
WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, JULY 25.
The Rev. Mr. Weems has laid before the public the following Anecdote and letter of George Wythe, late Chancellor of Virginia. We offer them to our readers under the assurance that, however exalted their opinions may be of this good and great man, they will raise him still higher in their estimation. We hope soon to hear that some pen, worthy of delineating the character of such a man, has undertaken his biography, at once discharging a duty due to the memory of the deceased and to the community of which he was so distinguished an ornament.
"Having been often told, that though the honestest man in Virginia, yet he was not the most orthodox, I felt an ardent wish for an opportunity to learn his real sentiments about religion. That opportunity was soon offered. I fell in with him at Richmond—he invited me to dine with him. Being altogether granivorous himself, he gave me a dinner exactly to his own tooth; rice milk, improved with plums, sugar, and nutmeg! Choice fare for a Brahmin, or an Old Bachelor. It was over this demulcent diet that I let drop expressions which flew the current of my wishes; he took the hint, and with looks of complacency, and accent sweet as those of his native Mocking Bird, he thus unbosomed himself:—
"Why, fr, as to religion, I have ever considered it as our best and great friend. These glorious views which it gives of our relation to God, and of our delineation to heaven, on the early terms of a good life, unquestionably furnish the best of all motives to virtue; the strongest diffuatives from vice; and the richest cordial under trouble. Thus far, I suppose, we are all agreed; but not, perhaps, so entirely in another opinion, which is, that 'in the fight of God, moral character is the main point.' This opinion, very clearly taught by reason, is as fully confirmed by Revelation, which every where teaches 'That the tree will be valued only for its good fruit;' and, that in the last day, according to our works of love or of hatred, of mercy, or of cruelty, we shall sing with angels, or weep with devils. In short, the Christian Religion (the sweetest and sublimest in the world) labours, throughout, to infix in our hearts this great truth, that God is love—and that in exact proportion as we grow in love, we grow in his likeness; and consequently shall partake of his friendship and felicity forever. While others, therefore, have been beating their heads, or embittering their hearts with disputes about forms of baptism, and modes of faith, it has always, thank God, struck me as my great way, constantly to think of this—'God is love; and he that walketh in love, walketh in God and God in him.'"
Robert Alexander, Esq. Sir,
The suit wherein you were pleased to do me the honor to engage my services, was last week brought to a trial, and has fully satisfied me that you are wrong. Knowing you to be a perfectly honest man, I conclude that you have somehow or other been misled. At any rate I find I have altogether been misled in the affair, and therefore insist on washing my hands of it immediately. In so doing I trust I shall not be charged with any failure of duty to you. As your lawyer 'tis true I owe you every thing—every thing consistent with justice—against her; nothing; nor ever can owe. For justice is appointed of God, the golden rule of all order throughout the universe; and therefore, as involving the greatest of all possible good to his creatures, it must be of all things the dearest to himself. He therefore, who knowingly acts against justice, is a rebel against God, and a premeditated murderer of mankind. Of this crime (which worlds could not tempt me to commit) I should certainly be guilty, were I, under my present convictions, to go on with your suit. I hasten therefore to enclose you the fifty dollar note you gave me as a fee, and with it my advice, that you compromise the matter on the best terms you can.
I have just to add, that as conscience will not allow me to say anything for you, honor forbids that I should say anything against you. But, by all means, compromise and save the costs. Adieu, wishing you that inward sunshine, which nothing outward can darken.
I remain,
Dear sir,
Yours,
GEORGE WYTHE.
Who can read the following tale of political persecution without shuddering? Its features are too strong to require commentary or illustration.
FROM THE WITNESS.
At a meeting of a large number of republicans of the town of Litchfield and other towns adjacent, convened at the inn of captain John Phelps, in Litchfield, on the 4th day of July, 1806.
OZIAS LEWIS, appointed chairman. Moses Seymour, jus. Clerk.
The meeting having learnt with extreme pain and sorrow the very alarming and distressing situation of Mr. Sellick Osborn, editor of the Witness, now closely confined, within the walls of Litchfield prison, and feeling anxious to procure a full and accurate statement respecting the same—
Resolved, That John Welch, Joseph L. Smith and Seth P. Beers, Esquires, be appointed a committee, and requested in behalf of this meeting, to repair to the prison and learn the true situation of Mr. Osborn, the situation of the prison, the prisoners confined with him, the treatment he has received while there, and his present treatment, and report the same to the meeting.
This meeting adjourned till the 14th of this month.
July 14th—Met agreeable to adjournment.
The committee appointed to visit Litchfield prison agreeably to the request of this meeting made the following
REPORT—
That they have waited on Mr. Osborn, and having been admitted to the jail, find that he is confined in the same room with two criminals, both charged with capital crimes;—That in this situation the friends of Mr. Osborn are generally denied admittance to his room, and can have intercourse with him only through a grate, in the outer wall of the prison.
Your committee further report, that said room is formed by heavy, damp and ragged stone walls; that it is nearly of a triangular form, (one corner cut off by a wile and projecting chimney) that it is fifteen feet in length, twelve in breadth, and seven in height. That the only entrance into said room, is through a dark and narrow passage formed in the wall of the prison, and by wooden partitions without. That this passage is secured and the circulation of air effectually prevented, by three heavy doors which are kept locked. That the only aperture for the admission of air into said room, is formed by a horizontal crevice in the south wall of the prison, which wall is two feet in thickness, and the crevice but four inches in width, and between two and three feet in length; that another small aperture in the east wall, opening into the prisoner's necessary, on that account must be kept closed.
Your committee further report, that the air of this dark and gloomy dungeon, is extremely impure, stagnant and offensive, that so little light is admitted, that a person on his first entrance can with difficulty distinguish the countenances of those within—that notwithstanding a dampness may at all times be perceived, yet the air by reason of its confinement, is frequently so heated and exhausted as to produce an almost suffocating effect.
Your committee further report, that the health of Mr. Osborn, is evidently much impaired, that once since his imprisonment he has been subjected to a severe and dangerous illness of a febrile nature, and at several other times by sickness less alarming, has been confined to his bed.—That the injury to his health has been caused by the impure air and damps of his dungeon, by his close and rigorous confinement; your committee have every reason to believe; and they are seriously apprehensive, that a continuance of the same course of treatment will eventually destroy his life.
Your committee in further pursuance of their appointment, have gone into the enquiry, whether the treatment to which Mr. Osborn is now subjected, has been the same from his first imprisonment; and
REPORT—
That at the time of his commitment, he was allowed to examine the several apartments in the prison, and to make a choice of a room;—that assurances were then given, and at the time believed to be sincere, that his situation should be rendered as comfortable as the nature of the case would admit.—That accordingly the friends of Mr. Osborn had free access at all times to his room, that the doors were much of the time left open, which caused a tolerable circulation of air; that he was frequently permitted to stand in the outside door-way of his prison room, where he could receive fresh air; and at several times was invited, and at other times by his own request, to go into the bath-room adjoining the prison. That since the 20th day of May, the doors of his dungeon have been kept closed, and admission of his friends frequently denied.

On the 27th day of June, at even- ing, Mr. Osborn being then sick, an un- fortunate young man, a maniac, his hands just embued in the blood of a young lady, was thrust into his room. This outrage was done by the sheriff of the county; and your committee are to say, in an apparently contempt- uous manner. For notwithstanding the peculiar and dangerous character of this new prisoner, he was thrust into the room of a sick man, and without one word being said, the doors immediately closed and barred.
Your committee further report, that several gentlemen in the vicinity, having been informed of the alarming situation, in which Mr. Osborn, by this transac- tion was placed, waited on the sheriff and by their spirited remonstrances, at length induced him, though with appar- ent reluctance, to remove the maniac to another room.
Your committee in this place think proper to state, that though the sheriff, when he put the maniac into the same room with Mr. Osborn, did not deem it necessary to make any communication to him on the subject, or to give him any caution to guard himself from any at- tempt which might be made upon him: yet when he was afterwards placed in the room with the two criminals, which, however, was not done till their consent had first been obtained, the sheriff was particular in describing to them the sit- uation of his mind, the cause of his im- prisonment, and in warning them to keep from his reach, knives, forks and every other instrument with which he might do them an injury as he consi- dered him a dangerous room-mate.— Your committee mention the conduct of the sheriff in this particular to the two criminals, not to censure but to applaud every principle of duty as sheriff, of humanity and integrity as an individual, they conceive, required that he should have given the warning that he did, and that silence would have been dishonest base and cruel. Whether a like course ought not to have been pursued with re- spect to Mr. Osborn—whether it was not equally improper that he should have been left in feeble health, uncau- tioned, and in close confinement, his life exposed to the caprice and the phrenzies of a stout and athletic mad- man, your committee leave to this meeting and the world to judge.
Your committee further report, that on the 30th day of June, the two crimi- nals before mentioned, were taken out of the room where they had till that time been confined, and put into the same room with Mr. Osborn, where they still remain, notwithstanding re- monstrances have been made to the sher- iff in writing, by a committee appoint- ed for that purpose, copies of which are herewith presented as part of this re- port.
Your committee further report, that the reason assigned by the sheriff for placing the said criminals in the same room with Mr. Osborn, was, "That by law he had no right to confine debtors and criminals in the same apartment, that Mr. Osborn being a criminal, that to make room for debtors it became ne- cessary to confine them all together." Your committee on this point state that the sheriff till the said two criminals were placed with Mr. Osborn, has acted as if totally regardless of what he now claims to be law—that previous to that time he was in the constant habit of imprisoning debtors in the same room with Mr. Osborn, who indeed have uniformly considered it a privilege— That before Mr. Osborn's imprison- ment, when the room now occupied by him was vacant, and since, the sheriff has frequently confined debtors in the same room with criminals committed for felonies —That at the time the said criminals were confined with Mr. Os- born there was but one debtor, unless he also be considered as such in jail.—That this debtor on his first arrival intreated to be confined with him, but the sheriff by force dragged him from his door, and shut him up with the criminals—That on the 10th day of July inst. this debtor was liberated and none other left in jail, notwithstanding which the criminals still remained with Mr. Osborn, though the sheriff had engaged that in such case they should be removed. And your committee further state, that there is no such law as that claimed by the sher- iff in justification of his treatment to Mr. Osborn. The statute of this state directs "that debtors and felons shall not be confined in the same room," and even sheriff Landon, it is presumed, will not pretend that non-compliance with the order of a county court is felony . Notwithstanding a maniac whose hands were reeking with the blood of innocence, was let loose upon Mr. Os- born; notwithstanding he was removed with apparent reluctance, and notwith- standing his place has since been suppli- ed by two criminals both committed for capital offences; yet your committee will not for a moment entertain the idea, that this and other rigorous treatment adopted towards him has proceeded from a deliberate design entirely to ter- minate his existence; but they hesitate not to say that this course of treatment persisted in, will in their opinion be very likely to result in his death.
Witchfield, July 12th, 1806. Resolved, That the doings of this meeting, including the above report, be published in the next Witness . Resolved further, That for the pur- pose of procuring information from time to time, respecting Mr. Osborn's health, situation, &c. that Messrs. Reuben Wester, Moses Seymour, Jr. and Ozias Lewis, Jr. be a standing committee, who are hereby requested, in behalf of this meeting, to visit the prison daily, and learn the state of Mr. Osborn's health, the state of the air in said pri-
son, the state of the prisoners confined with him, and every other particular of importance respecting his situation, and publish the same weekly in such of the republican papers in this state as they deem proper.
Attest, MOSES SEYMOUR, Jun. Clk.
Extract of a letter from the American Consular Agent at Gottenburg dated 12 May, 1806.
"On account of the present Swedish war with France, all neutrals are al- lowed to bring the produce of any coun- try whatever, which is otherwise ad- missible to cuty, into Sweden; and three months notice is to be given be- fore this edict can be recalled. The former and generally established law of this country is, that a foreigner can bring only the produce of his own coun- try and its dependencies and nothing else."
A London paper of June 2 says, "Mr. Secretary Fox, in the course of his ad- mirable speech on Saturday morning, took an opportunity of throwing out his ideas respecting that kind of peace which he was anxious to obtain. He ex- pressly stated, that "he wished for such a peace as could be made on reasonable terms; but then the character of the peace he wished for was, that it should preserve our connections with the con- tinent of Europe, and not give up any thing which the point of honor forbade us to give up." These spirited senti- ments were cheered from all sides of the house.
On the subject of invasion the right honorable Secretary observed, "that he differed much from some of his friends on that subject. He by no means dread- ed invasion. He thought we had, in the first place, a powerful security in the superiority of our navy; and in the sec- ond place, in the spirit of the nation, which he was convinced was abundantly sufficient to triumph ultimately over any army that could invade this coun- try."
In the British House of Commons, on the 3d ult.
Mr. Secretary Fox, rose to give no- tice that he should on Tuesday next bring forward a resolution which would have the effect of showing that his ma- jesty's ministers were not unmindful of the pledges they had given, respecting the final abolition of the slave trade.— He conceived it would be too late in the present session to propose any bill upon the subject; but as it was one of those important subjects upon which his ma- jesty's present ministers had pledged their opinions to the house, he thought it high time to evince their determination of carrying those opinions into effect.
The London Traveller, of the 10th June, contains the following article:— "American papers to the 13th ult. have reached us; the intelligence con- tained in them is of great consequence. The unhappy affair which happened off Sandy Hook has, we regret to say, led to measures of a very decisive and harsh character upon the part of the Execu- tive Government. The President of the United States has published a Proclama- tion, "commanding all Citizens of the United States to arrest Capt. Whit- by, of the Leander , wherever he may be found; requiring the ships of the British squadron to depart from the ports and waters of the United States; and, in case of this requisition not being complied with, prohibiting all pilots from assisting in navigating them, and all individuals from furnishing them with provisions or other supplies; & in- terdicting for ever the entrance of Capt. Whitby, of the Leander , Capt. Nairne, of the Cumbrian , and Capt. Simpson of the Driver into any American haven, whatever ships they may in future com- mand."
The death of Pierce, the American seaman, is not the only grievance set forth in the Proclamation. The juris- diction of the United States is said to have been violated; the unlawful inter- ruptions and vexations committed on their trade are also included in the list of complaints. The former is certain- ly an accusation of a very serious na- ture. Capt. Whitby, if not acting un- der superior orders, has taken a dreadful responsibility upon himself; it would be unfair to give any opinion upon his con- duct until this point is decided. We regret exceedingly that he has returned to resume his station off New-York. It is impossible that he can remain there, without either renewing those practices which have given so much offence to the Americans, or being subject to in- sults and contumelious behaviour from every trader that passes under the bows of the Leander , in case he should decline the exercise of the right of visit and search.
Mr. JEFFERSON, we believe, is ex- tremely adverse to violent measures. The Proclamation is supposed to be ex- torted from him. The accident hap- pened at a most unlucky period, the eve of the general elections in America. The two parties, the Democrats and Federalists, by whom the United States are divided, are forced to bid against each other at the auction of popularity. The only question between them is, who shall display most violence against England, but fortunately it is not the mob of New-York who is to discuss this un- pleasant affair.
CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNIT- ED STATES. NEW-YORK DISTRICT. UNITED STATES vs. WM. S. SMITH.
SIXTH DAY. The Court met at 10 o'clock, pur- suant to adjournment. Present Judge TALMADGE. The jury and the witnesses having been called, Judge Talmadge stated to the jury that Judge Patterdon being too indisposed to attend the trial, and a mournful occurrence having taken place in his own family, he found it necessary to adjourn the court until 9 o'clock on Monday morning.
FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. UNITED STATES vs. OGDEN.
(CONTINUED.) The district attorney read an affidavit of his own, stating that the offence with which the defendant stood charged was committed in this city, and that the witnesses against whom attachments were prayed, resided and were at Wash- ington at the time.
Having read the affidavit, the district attorney replied to the arguments of the defendant's counsel at great length. He contended that the testimony of the witnesses was not material in justifica- tion, and therefore not essential to the jury in forming its judgment. For al- lowing all that had been said of the President's knowledge and approbation of the enterprise, which was but asser- tion, still that knowledge and approba- tion did not amount to authority or di- rection to the defendant to do an unlaw- ful act. On the arguments of the de- fendant's counsel respecting the state of our public affairs when the expedi- tion was commenced, the district attor- ney was clear, logical, and concise. Congress had not declared offensive , nor had the President authorised or direct- ed defensive war. As the government of the U. S. was at peace, none of its citizens had a right to be at war with Spain.
With regard to attachments, the au- thorities which he cited were numerous and uniform. In England, attachments were issued at the discretion of the court, and never but to purge the wit- ness of a contempt.
The arguments of the district attor- ney were enforced and illustrated by Mr. Edwards in a discursive speech, in which he fully maintained his well- earned claim to eminence at the bar. He was happy in his playful and sar- castic remarks on the arguments of the defendant's counsel, presuming author- ity which had not been given—a state of war, which had not been commenced, and the lawfulness of an act which was clearly and alarmingly unlawful. Mr. Edwards began his speech at one, and closed at half after two in the after- noon, when the court adjourned till Wednesday morning at 10.
Wednesday morning Mr. Edwards was heard in continuation, and was suc- ceeded by Mr. Emmett for the defend- ant.
Mr. Emmett commenced an elo- quent and learned speech of two hours, in which he displayed vast powers of mind and profundity of research, by an impassioned and impressive exordium. In this he apologised, as a stranger in the country, for undertaking the de- fence—but being engaged, he would ex- ert his talents to the utmost, such as they were, in behalf of his client. He regretted that the action had been com- menced, and wished it were in his power to efface it from the records of the court and the remembrance of the country. He had no doubt of convinc- ing the court that his client had not of- fended against the laws, and, on the o- ther hand, that the great and illustrious man who presides over our national af- fairs had, in approving the expedition, given additional evidence of the excel- lence of his character, and assurance of the correctness of his views. Neither, according to Mr. Emmett, had done wrong.
Mr. Emmett maintained with an ear- nestness that indicated sincerity, that the testimony of the witness was mate- rial ; first, in justification, or secondly, in mitigation of punishment, and there- fore that compulsory process ought to issue before the defendant be put to trial.
In respect to compulsory process in England, on which the counsel for the prosecution had insisted at large, it was issued at the discretion and to maintain the dignity of the courts, and not the rights of the subject; there, it was not a right which could be claimed but a privilege , which might be grant- ed. He traced the doctrine of attach- ments in England to the reign of Eliza- beth.
But in the U. S. compulsory process was put on a different footing. Here, said Mr. Emmett, it was the right of the party accused; a right guaranteed to him by the constitution, and which the court cannot withhold. He read article 8 of the amendments to the con- stitution, which says, that "in all cri- minal prosecutions the accused shall have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses." This fundamental act was the paramount law, in which the right was secured to every citizen. Process must be issued: the accused takes it as he takes that which belongs to him. He wanted process, call it by whatever name, which would compel the witness into court. Any other could not be call- ed compulsory .
There is no arguing, either with cre- dit or success, against a constitutional provision. The constitution undoubt- edly guarantees to the accused compulso-
ry process, such as is known to the laws, been issued by the court, and an apology rendered for failing to obey its injunctions, entirely satisfactory all things considered? Mr. Emmett scoun- ted the idea, of attachments on the prin- ciples of British jurisprudence, which he deemed to be at war with the part of the constitution which he had cited. When, however he was asked by the presiding judge whether, in obedience to the constitution, Congress had by statute provided a specific remedy, he answered that in his reading he had not met with any. Failing then to bring the witnesses in by subpoena, to what process could the court resort, if attachments, issued on the principles of the common law were to be excluded? Mr. Emmett did not designate any. Perhaps there is none known to the laws. Our statutes, as conceded by Mr. Emmett, are silent on the subject. The constitution which recognizes the principle for which he contended, ex- ists, but the laws have made no provi- sion for carrying it into effect.
With regard to the materiality of the witnesses, which as the defendant's counsel wished to put off the trial was the main point, Mr. Emmett, with am- plifications, repeated the arguments of Mr. Hoffman—Spain had commenced hostilities against us, and although Con- gress had not declared war, yet by the law of nations we were at war, though technically at peace. He presumed on a state of things that did not exist, and argued as if they did. His conclusion was therefore unsupported by facts. Mr. Emmett was followed by Mr. Har- rison on the same side, who without ex- citing the same interest, travelled over the same ground. Mr. Harrison, who spoke about two hours, closed the ar- gument. The court adjourned to Thursday morning at 10.
Thursday morning Judge Patterson delivered the opinion of the court in writing. The opinion which was given at great length, was perspicuous. Hav- ing assigned the reasons at large, he concluded with stating it as the unani- mous opinion of the court that, in justi- fication , the testimony of the witness was not material. The laws were in- flexible. The president had not a dis- pensing power, and therefore even a direction from him to the defendant to engage in the expedition, could not jus- tify the act. It was not material in miti- gation , for testimony in mitigation was not for the jury. The trial must therefore go on.
With regard to compulsory process, the court, he said, was divided in op- inion; one of the judges being against, and the other for it; at least for a rule to show cause why the witness did not appear.
Having delivered the opinion of the court, Judge Patterson retired seem- ingly exhausted. He was much indispos- ed when the court was opened, and per- haps more when he retired from it. Judge Talmadge was now alone.
As the trial was to go on, the counsel for the defendant asked leave for a few moments consultation. It was granted, and they retired. In about ten minutes they returned, when Mr. Morton mov- ed the court to put off the trial to its next regular term. The motion was made on an affidavit of the defendant, setting forth that Jonathan S. Smith, and Thomas (capt.) Lewis, both on board the Leander , were material wit- nesses, and were expected here by Sep- tember. The judge decided against the motion on the ground that if they were material witnesses it should have been so stated in the first affidavit by which the trial was originally put off. There would be no end to these motions if yielded to. At the request of the de- fendant's counsel, the court adjourned to Friday morning.
Yesterday the trial commenced, but we shall say nothing upon it until it is over.
POLITICAL ANECDOTES.
The great Frederick of Prussia is said to have presented a sword to Gen. Washington with this noble compli- ment; "from the oldest to the greatest general in the world."
Mr. Fox, the political luminary of England, is said to have paid Mr. Jeffer- son a not less flattering eulogium. On his late visit to Paris, he was asked by Bon- aparte, "who" he thought "was the greatest statesman in the world?" "I have no doubt that Mr. Jefferson is," was Mr. Fox's reply. A finer compli- ment could not possibly have been paid to any man!
It is no compliment, to receive the approbation of men, who are not judges of excellence. It is the merit of the eulogist only which gives a value to his good opinion. When men praise us for qualities with which they have been long conversant and which they may be supposed capable of understand- ing, it is then only that their praise seems the language of truth. We seem then only to deserve admiration, when we receive it from such as are deserv- edly admired by the rest of the world. How insignificant must have seemed to Leibnitz, the most flattering opinion of an ignorant rustic, when once Sir Isaac Newton had noticed his work.
But the compliment of Mr. Fox is not to be confined to the merits of Mr. Jefferson alone. It may be considered as a noble tribute paid to the principles of his administration, and even to that republican system of government, which he has done so much to establish. And by whom is this tribute paid? By one of the most enlightened statesmen in the freest nation of Europe; by one whose delight is, to toast "the cause of liberty all over the world," but who has never ceased to regret the imperfect establish- ment of it in his own country; by a man, in fact, who in contrast together the evils of such a mixed constitution as
exists in G. Britain, of its king, its lords and its clergy, with those splendid be- nefits of our representative system. But when such a man as this prefers our constitution to his own, what shall we think of those native Americans who wish to assimilate it more to the British government, by infusing greater energy into our executive? When such a man as this commands Mr. Jefferson, "as the greatest statesman in the world," what shall we think of the vir- ue or candor of those Americans, who deny him every sort of merit.
Enquirer.
The Prefect of Venice has ordered 10 sail of the line, 6 of which of 90 guns, to be laid on the stocks in the arsenals of his prefecture; the keel of the Charle- magne was laid on the 7th of March, being the anniversary of the first coali- tion of Austria, Prussia, the German empire, England, Holland, Spain, Port- ugal, the two Sicilies, the Papal states and the king of Sardinia, against France, which was declared in 1793, on this date—there was an extra carnival and great rejoicings.
The naval commissioners at Venice have ordered vast naval stores of ship- timber to be transported from the forests of Dalmatia to their arsenals, and the construction of two immense dry docks, upon the same principles as those which have existed for 240 years, & by which the Venetian republic was enabled to preserve their ships from decay double the period of any other nation.

FROM THE LANCASTER INTELLIGEN- CER OF JULY 15.
At the instance of the honorable Me- thuseleh Davis, of Chester county, the Editor of this paper was required, on the 7th inst. to enter security, himself in 500 dollars and one surety in 500, for his appearance at the next August term, to answer alleged libels against said Davis, as Chairman of a committee of the late House of Representatives, appointed to enquire into the manner the late Comptroller-general, Samuel Bryan, Esq. had applied the Money ap- propriated to pay taxes due on the estate late of John Nicholson. The extraor- dinary Report that extraordinary Com- mittee made, on the subject referred to them, and other extraneous matter, it will be recollected, produced a very leng- thy, full, and animated Discussion in the House of Representatives, and was finally rejected.
LONDON, JUNE 5.
We received last night Paris papers to the 19th inst. from which we have made some extracts, but they are not very interesting. The Moneiteur of the 17th contains a letter from Vienna, dated the 5th inst. which states, that the differences which occurred between France and Austria, relative to the occupation of the mouths of the Cataro, were removed, the Em- peror of Russia having given orders that this possession should be given up to the French, in conformity with the treaty of Presburg. This statement in the Moneiteur is certainly not given in an official shape, but as it is strength- ened by so many concurrent accounts from different quarters, we think it is now hardly possible to entertain any doubt upon the subject. But it is not only Dalmatia (according to the account in these papers) of which the French are going to obtain possession; it is stated that the Porte has, in compliance with the command of Bonaparte, agreed to cede to France all the territories which the republic of Venice formerly possess- ed in Dalmatia and Turkish Albania. Whether the Porte may or may not be ultimately compelled to submit to these unprecedented demands of Bonaparte, we cannot pretend to determine; but it seems very improbable that the Turkish government should have so suddenly resolved to make such important cessa- ions, and, in fact, to place all the Eu- ropean possessions of Turkey entirely at the mercy of France. It is natural to suppose that the cabinet of St. Peters- burg would have been previously con- sulted upon a point in which the inter- ests of Russia are so deeply involved; & that cabinet certainly never could have consented to a measure which in its con- sequences would lead to the exclusion of the Russians from the Mediterranean. If the French are masters of Dalmatia, Albania, and all the ancient possessions of Venice, the whole power of the Tur- kish empire cannot prevent them from advancing to Constantinople if they please. We are therefore inclined to think that Russia will oppose, with all her force, this dismemberment of Tur- key, and though by giving up Cataro she loses an important position, she may still effectually counteract the plans which Bonaparte has obviously formed against the most valuable of the Tur- kish European possessions.
Baltic Trade. —The aggregate value of the exports, from all the Baltic ports to all places, according to the prime cost shipped on board, may, in greater exporting years of corn, be reckoned to amount to no less a sum than 20 mil- lions sterling.
When there is no great exportation of grain, the difference in amount in the Baltic trade is considerable; the ordi- nary quantity of corn exported is annu- ally about two millions sterling; which is more than the regular produce of all our West-India islands put together.
The share which Great Britain has of the Baltic trade (not taking grain in- to calculation,) amounts to at least two thirds of the whole, so that the Baltic trade is a very losing one to G. Britain.

We might raise all the articles we take from that quarter amongst ourselves at home, or in our own plantations, and employ the same quantity of shipping, and the same number of men at least. The amount of British produce and manufactures only, exported to the Baltic and Northern States, (Germany excepted) on the average of the last three years, have been only 1,200,000l. whilst our importation of their produce and manufactures from thence, in the first cost, has been near 8,000,000l. sterling per annum in the same period.
The number of trading vessels belonging to the states and nations around the Baltic, including those of Norway and Holstein, in 1804, was 4134, carrying 493,417 British tons.
In three of the most remarkable years, 1800, 1801, 1802, the following is the statement of British and foreign shipping employed in this trade—
Table with 2 columns: BRITISH, FOREIGN. Rows show vessel counts and tonnage for years 1800, 1801, 1802.
OUTWARDS. The trade to Germany goes (though not to the same places) ultimately through the same channels, and it has for several years amounted to above eight millions sterling.
The whole amount of our exports to the Northern countries, by those channels, cannot be stated on an average to be less than twelve millions sterling, which is more than two thirds of the exports of this country to the whole of the continent.
FROM THE PARIS ARGUS OF MAY 29.
We have received London papers to the 20th May. The most important matter they contain, is the note which the secretary of state for the foreign department has just transmitted to the American consulate relative to the blockade of the coast of France, Holland & Prussia, from Brest to the mouth of the Elbe. From the dispositions which Mr. Fox constantly testified previous to his late reception among his majesty's ministers, it was not to be expected that his name would ever appear to a paper which announces the tacit avowal of a doctrine so injurious to the rights and independence of nations.
In morality as in policy, this principle may be applied to continental wars. Then would there no longer require an army to besiege an enemy's place; by a simple diplomatic note, the French cabinet might interdict to those of Vienna, Lisbon, Copenhagen all commercial relations with England.
By it as it may, this measure particularly attacks the American commerce, and it is to be believed that the U. S. will feel its full importance: they will concur in the generous enterprise of the French government, and may thereby share its profit and its glory.
it outrageously violates. But these restrictions are really of no advantage to neutrals. Their commercial expeditions are always unsafe as long as any English captain may annoy them, as long as England may at her pleasure lengthen the list of contraband goods; as long as they shall even be fixed in so vague a manner as to furnish an easy pretext to cupidity, to despoil the merchant who shall have exposed his property upon the faith of treaties, or of poor conventions, or decrees!
HAGUE, MAY 21. By a courier arrived here on Monday last from our deputation at Paris, we learn that the long pending negotiation is at length terminated. If our negotiators have not been able to retain our independence, they have at least made the best bargain possible; we are, it is said, to receive Prince Louis, not as King but as captain and admiral general, Stadtholder, &c. their high Mightinesses to remain on the present footing; the interest of the national debt to be paid as usual; the system of taxation not to be altered; the religion of the country not to be changed; and the constitution to remain the same.
PARIS, JUNE 3. Yesterday his excellency the Prince de Masserano, ambassador of the King of Spain, presented to the Emperor a letter from his Catholic Majesty announcing the death of the Princess of Asturias, in consequence of which the French court were ordered into mourning for nine days.
MARIA ANTOINETTE of Naples, princess of Asturias, died on the 20th of May, aged 21 years.
CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 9. The French agent Romieux, who was sent from hence about the end of last summer, we now learn, had a mission to Fatah Scham, the king of Persia; but upon his return he had the misfortune to be attacked and murdered not far from the Turkish frontier. The perpetrators are unknown.
