For the Alexandria Advertiser. Colchester, Sept. 14, 1801. Messrs. SNOWDEN and Co. OBSERVING an attempt made, (by some pettyfogging attorney, under the signature of Walter S. Belt,) to distort and evade the facts which I published against said Belt—induces me to intrude once more, on the attention of the public. It is in some measure the province of a lawyer to distort facts, when paid for it; but to descend to such low servility, points him out as one of the lowest order of that fraternity. But if he, (Belt's advocate) doubts my courage, let him call me either coward or liar, under his own signature, and I will soon convince him to the contrary. Mr. Belt's memory serves him but badly indeed, when he has reference to his earliest years. I will only ask him, for what moral conduct of his, he was neglected by his best friends and connections in George Town for several years? After some time he was taken notice of by Mr. Walter Smith, who established him in business, supported him with his interest, and has been his greatest benefactor: But as soon as those well founded charges of infamy were brought against him—public notice is immediately given, that the joint business here is to be closed, and the store is shut up: A convincing argument, that the criminality of his conduct is such as to cause the feelings of his partner to recoil, and determine on closing his business with him. Belt, at the commencement of his spurious publication, promised to "portray in me a character replete with baseness." The public must have observed, that he has exhibited no charges against me, but those of cowardice and lying; and those only supported by his own assertions. I trust that no reflecting mind will attach either of those to me without further proof. As much as I contemn these failings, I should consider Belt's character pure (comparatively speaking) were there none others exhibited against him: But in addition to those two charges, there are several others against him of the blackest die. He then proceeds to charging me with distorting the certificate of James G. Smith: this certificate is altogether in the hand writing of this Mr. Smith, of course no advantage could be taken of him; and the construction I put, I think, must be deemed a fair one, when it is considered that this Mr. Smith is his particular friend, and was the bearer of the challenge. Mr. Smith has since declared to me, that the construction put by Belt on the certificate given him, was a false one, and the only cause he had for asserting that I would not fight him, was because I had previously told him so, as mentioned in the certificate given me; and further, that he had no reason whatever to suppose me otherwise than a man of courage: he also stated to me, that he had read Belt's publication, and that he had not cleared up the charge of the pocket book to his satisfaction, or in the manner he told him he could. Belt must have known that J. G. Smith had his information from me, as he knew he was just from my house; and as a further proof that he had no serious intention of fighting, the sending of the challenge was publicly known before I received it: He was also unprepared with a second—although J. G. Smith bore the challenge to me, he repeatedly told him that he would not accompany him to the field, if I accepted it. Belt then goes on and says, that "on the test I was always found to be a coward." The certificate, No. 1, of Mr. Beverly R. Waggoner, (whom Mr. Belt has declared to be one of the most respectable gentlemen in this neighborhood, and which I readily admit) will plainly demonstrate to the contrary; and that I was correct in my opinion when I publicly declared him a paltroon. The certificate, No. 2, of Mr. Patrick Magruder, Montgomery county,

Maryland, which I have had in my possession ever since the occurrence alluded to in said certificate, will also prove said Belt to be capable of asserting the basest falsehoods , with all the confidence of truth , and renders it totally unnecessary for me to go to Maryland for further proof. The respectability of the persons concerned in that affair will show how much I should have descended, had I accepted of Belt's challenge. Said Belt brings forward a certificate of eight men to support his rotting reputation , whom he styles the most respectable characters in and about Colchester. But what do they say for him? That they had found him just in his dealings with them. At that time some of them, had not seen the charges exhibited against him, and how supported, and I believe, at this time, that the respectable members of that certificate, are under the strongest impressions of the criminality of his conduct. He for a week was riding through this neighborhood to procure certificates of his good conduct; and I know of as many gentlemen who refused him, as he procured signatures from. Why did he not brace his rotten reputation with the signatures of Mr. Massey, Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Fowler, Mr. M'Carty, Mr. Ellicott, Col. Blackburn, Dr. Moreton, and a number of other respectable characters of this neighborhood, many of whom are better known abroad than those he got? He must have been much at a loss in obtaining signatures to his certificate, which induced him to apply to his uncle Ward —which delicacy should have prevented.
This pocket-book-gentleman then proceeds to say, that he overtook a Negro man with a parcel of ribbons and papers, which he had found, and which he took from him. Pray to whom could they belong? They could not have come out of Mr. Shumate's pocket book: If so, he must have met the negro—therefore, it remains a query, what he has done with those valuables, as he terms them? What reason could he have for interrogating Mr. J. Shumate, when he was informed of his name? The papers in the book plainly proved to whom the book belonged. He accuses me of taking advantage of the weakness and credulity of a woman: As weak as he supposes her, she possessed understanding enough to detect his attempts to do her a glaring injustice, and here he has brought forward the certificate of Lund Washington. The respectability of the name of Washington , I am as ready to admit as any one; in some instances it is even venerable . But that all of that name are respectable I am bold to deny; and we have a striking instance to the contrary in this certificate gentleman whom Belt sent to sit Mr. and Mrs. Huskins; what he could not get her to say to answer Belt's purposes, he himself has inserted. The certificate, No. 3, will show, that Mrs. Huskins never told him that I promised not to make any use of her certificate, as he has falsely stated; and further that he never told him that she believed Mr. Belt did not intend to take any advantage of her : But on the contrary, she verily believes it was intentionally done .—From this the public will readily perceive what credit said Washington is entitled to, and how far his certificate ought to affect my reputation. They will also judge whether it is not very apparent that said Washington was actuated by a very different motive than justice;—they will find his name to all Belt's certificates, even where he knew nothing about their contents: for instance, the certificate of the FRACAS between Huskins and Belt, which happened when he was not in this village.—Ultimately, Belt concludes, by saying he shall oblige me to pay my account, which account I will never pay, 'till it is litigated before a proper tribunal, when I will prove the injustice he has attempted to practice on me, by charging me with goods which he sold to, and are now in the possession of others—and also for goods which the cash was paid for, and no credit given for it. These are not the only instances of his attempting to defraud me. In the month of April last, I purchased of him some blacksmith's tools, which he agreed to let me have for cash, at cost, which cash I have his receipt for. He also agreed to let me have the blacksmith, for the balance of the year, on the same terms he had hired him—which he said was 120 dols. but upon his advancing at the commencement of the year 100 dols. it was taken in discharge of 120 dols. This blacksmith belongs to Mrs. Orr; and some time ago I heard of young Mr. Orr denying him for the smith's share, which astonished me, as he had told me it was paid. I
then wrote to Mrs. Orr, who favored me with a reply wherein she states that Belt was to give her only 100 dols. one half in advance and the residue any time in the summer; but upon her sons calling on him the other day, he pretended to have forgotten the latter part of the bargain and insisted upon a deduction of 3 3/4 dols. very unjustly as she expresses it. Had I not have discovered it, in this one instance he would have cheated me out of near 20 dollars. I paid him for a new pair of bellows 32 dols. which I have his receipt for; those bellows were made by Mr. Yost of Alexandria, whose certificate, No. 4, will show that they cost but 21 1/2 dols. and he had upwards of three months use of them. So that in that trifling article, I think it is apparent, he has defrauded me of 10 1/2 dols. His friends endeavour to excuse him, by saying, it is not probable a man would be dishonest for such trifles; but a number of those trifles ultimately amount to something considerable. Having understood that Mr. Shumate intends publishing the particulars relative to the pocket book, I shall not animadvert further on his conduct relative thereto. I well know it is not in the power of Mr. Belt, or any other person, to fix a stigma upon my reputation. I shall conclude by observing, as I was not the offending party, I hope you and your subscribers will excuse my occupying such a space in your paper, which might have been filled with much more useful and agreeable information.

CERTIFICATES.
No. 1.
I DO hereby certify, that I was present or only a few paces off, last Friday, when Dr. Blake and Mr. Belt met near said Belt's store;—after some conversation Dr. Blake drew out a pair of pistols, and cocked each of them, and repeatedly offered Mr. Belt his choice, and observed to him that he would immediately fight him at the distance of 3 feet. Said Belt would not take the pistol;—I ultimately interposed. At this time there was no one present except Mr. M'Intosh and myself.

DUBLIN, July 25.
Politicians make the singular remark, that most powers are now contending to make their armies more numerous than they ever were before. Austria, for instance, after a bloody war of ten years, has actually re-inforced her armies by one fourth. Prussia has 25,000 men more on foot than formerly. The elector of Bavaria has augmented his military force to 40,000 men, among whom are many excellent officers of artillery, formerly belonging to the corps of Conde. The elector of Saxony, too, has increased his army to between 40 and 45,000 men. With regard to France, the officers have received orders not to sell their horses and field equipage; the regiments are all made complete, and ready to march.
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
Decree of the national concile (of priests,) relative to the fete of the 14th July.
Considering that the 14th of July, a day consecrated by the French people for the celebration of the recovery of their liberty, is an era from which the destinies of the republic take their rise:
Considering that this day has been also appointed by the government to celebrate the continental peace, the preface of a general and speedy peace, and that, in these views, it is the object of a pure joy, in which the ministers of a religion of charity may and ought to share:
Considering that, by the New, as also by the Old Testament, religion has been in the habit of consecrating, by holy ceremonies, the great events which influence the fate of nations:
The national concile ordains as follows:
1st. Next Tuesday the 14th July, 25 Messidor, 9th year of the French republic, at eight o'clock in the morning, a solemn mass shall be sung in the metropolitan church of Paris.
2d. At the conclusion of mass, a discourse shall be pronounced upon the subject of the fete of the day.
3d. After the discourse, Te Deum shall be sung, and thanks returned for all the blessings which the lord has bestowed upon the French nation.
ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH.
ON THE 14TH OF JULY.
From the Moneur .
Frenchmen, the day of the 14th July is one of the epochs which will be forever remarkable in the history of nations.
The 14th of July consecrated all the principles of morality, virtue and social equality. It is reconquered from prejudice the empire of reason, and from authority the rights it had usurped. It restores to man his dignity, to the citizen his prerogatives, to commerce its franchises, to the peasantry their independence, and to the state a force enervated by abuse, and a consideration lost by the commission of very great errors. Before that epoch, France groaned under the bonds which habit alone rendered supportable, but which knowledge and instruction must have taught her to break asunder.
The state, divided into two classes, nobles and roturiers, saw the first in possession of every favor, while the second were excluded from all employments. Merit was held in no estimation, and genius condemned to oblivion, if unaccompanied by greatness of birth; but a long list of ancestors, or even a purchased nobility, opened a path to every honor. Hence we daily found the destinies of the state, the existence and property of the citizens, entrusted to ignorant men, and thousand instances of injustice consecrated by acts of authority. The venality of office was another obstacle to the advancement of a man who had but a moderate fortune, and political institutions excluded him from the career of glory. The title even of Father in God was assigned to birth, and but rarely to piety. Accordingly the clergy seldom exhibited the ancient virtues of their order. Tithes enriched them with the product of the most valuable labours of the agriculturists. The bishops consumed in profane enjoyments the funds with which charity had imprudently trusted them for the comforts of the poor. They neglected their august functions, scandalized the people by their extravagance, and scarcely left the bare necessaries of life to the country curates, those real comforters of human misery.
The provinces labored under the yoke
of feudalism, and the peasants became the property of the lord of the soil by a real slavery, paid them the heavy and humiliating tribute of the fruit of their labors. The rights of champart and tasque took away a portion of their harvest. That of banalite deprived them of all public property, and the cens bore heavily upon their persons and their domains. The vassals took oaths of fealty and homage to their seignior, and recognized only his judges and his officers. The magistrate who represented the community was compelled, among the insignia of his dignity, to bear the feudal livery. The chase and fishing were equally interdicted, and the most disgraceful punishments awaited the proprietor who should dare to kill the game which ravaged his fields. The seignior heard his praises chanted in the church; he alone was saluted by every one in the streets, sold the inhabitants with the soil, and the right of extracting from them the same marks of servitude. The right of corvee oppressed a great part of the peasantry, who repaired by the sweat of their brows the public roads, which more frequently served the purpose of luxury than those of agriculture.
The government was daily losing its consideration by vices of another description, and by errors which betrayed at once its weakness and its ignorance. The abandonment of Holland, notwithstanding solemn assurances and the ostentatious parade of protection; the impolitic avowal of a deficiency in the finances; the useless convocation of the notables; the scandalous proceeding which exposed to ignominy before the tribunals, and in the presence of indignant Europe, the royal majesty and one of the first dignities of the church—every thing concurred to shake the basis of the throne, and to hasten the moment of its fall.
Frenchmen, you loudly called for reform, and an astonishing concurrence of information, and an union of wills still more astonishing, hastened the moment of regeneration. Abuses were removed, prejudices combated, the bonds of feudalism broken, the fortunes of the clergy limited, tithes abolished, and the peasantry emancipated from every kind of oppressive yoke. Titles of nobility were suppressed; that of citizen ennobled; and every one according to his talents and his virtues, may look forward to reputation, employments and honors. Tolerant laws permit every sect to have its own system of worship and its own priests, without any dread of persecution or insult.
Such were the benefits of the 14th July. At no former period could a spectacle be contemplated more august than that which was then presented to France—when from all sides of this vast empire there resounded the same voice, the same cries of union, and the love of glory and of liberty. Genius and virtue directed this grand movement, and after long labors and violent efforts, they gave to the world the example of the regeneration of a people founded upon the laws of justice and morality; they traced a new path in legislation, & substituted in the place of laws made for the interest of one alone, laws established for the happiness of all. Then every event seemed to promise you the most happy destiny; but scarcely was the object attained than it fled from our grasp. The ferment of passion led to excess: in vain those who had raised the constitutional edifice endeavoured to defend it against the attacks of party; the general interest was forgotten; factions formed themselves on all sides, and the shock and schisms which they produced led at length to the total ruin of the government, and to general disorganization.
At this moment were forgotten those sublime principles and salutary institutions which had been consecrated by the 14th of July. The laws had been proclaimed the protectors of liberty and order—they now established revolutionary laws; privileges had been abolished—they now destroyed property: a toleration had been established—they now destroyed the temples, and massacred the priests. This rage soon became a delirium; they proclaimed fraternity upon the scaffold, liberty in the prisons, whilst France, enslaved, received law at the feet of its assassins. They passed from a frightful state to a government feeble from the nature of its constitution: the sport of parties, which it had not strength to combat—there only remained the dangerous resource of opposing one to the other, and of maintaining life by this continual struggle, which held them in equilibrium. Deprived of the means of pursuing a regular course, it was forced to substitute for the impulsive ci pub

lic spirit sudden shocks, and for confidence violent measures. Law supported by vio- lence, paralysed all commerce, and ruined every proprietor. The law of hostages made innocence tremble; moveable columns desolated the country; thousands of citi- zens, victims of the law of the 19th Fruc- tidor, groaned far distant from their coun- try; transportation had hurried a number of respectable citizens to Guiana; perse- cution had excited entire departments to insurrection, had lighted up the flames of civil war—and French blood flowed, shed by the hands of Frenchmen!
Frenchmen! in the midst of all these evils, the day of the 14th of July appeared to your retrospection only as a point in your history separated by many ages from the epoch in which you found your- selves when the nineteenth of Brumaire suddenly restored you. The energetic will of a whole people was requisite to produce the fourteenth of July:—the power, the genius, and the fame of a hero were necessary to revive it. Ten years of calamity, extravagant enthusiasm, barba- rism and destruction, were forgotten in an instant, and no more appeared to us but a painful and tedious dream. The 14th of July seemed but to separate us by a single effluous night from the 18th of Bru- maire, which may, in a manner, be regard- ed as the morrow of that day. All the principles which had been forgotten were consecrated anew; and, in reinstating them, the government took every care to efface every mark of the destructive regi- men to which it succeeded, and to adhere to the wishes of the French people, when they proclaimed their liberty on the 14th of July. It has repealed every disastrous law, brought back the citizens who were unjustly proscribed, dried up the tears of families, made ruin disappear, obliterated the traces of Vandalism, and merited the double title of a consoling and restoring government. It has restored to the French that liberty and equality which they had at first proclaimed. The peo- ple, emancipated from the ancient despo- tism and revolutionary laws, feel them- selves, as on the 14th of July, free from the fetters of the feudal system, and the dangers of terror. The farmer has no longer to pay tythes or forced loans, nor to fear imprisonment by his seignor, or de- tention as an hostage.
The 14th of July had consecrated the entire freedom of worship. The 18th of Brumaire re-opened the churches, protect- ed all sects, and put an end to the persecu- tion of priests. Every institution connect- ed with the morality of nations, has re- sumed its dignity. Industry re-animated by encouragements and recompenses; agri- culture honored and enriched; the roads repaired; navigable canals opened; relief assured to indigence, and materials for la- bor to the tenants of the hospitals—every thing bespeaks the spirit of improvement, which essentially regulates the government and predominates in all its operations.
Frenchmen, if, from the contemplation of these internal advantages, you turn your attention to the external operations of go- vernment, you will behold it repairing with inconceivable rapidity the disasters we had sustained. Our armies were dis- organized, our fortresses without provi- sions, our frontiers without defence. Italy and a part of Switzerland were abandoned, and the enemy threatened the Var and the Rhine; when, by a kind of prodigy, eve- ry thing was instantaneously repaired; formidable armies were collected; a rapid and skillful march, more astonishing than a victory, struck terror into the enemy; Marengo restored to us Switzerland and Italy; four grand battles gained in Ger- many conducted us to the gates of Vienna; the enemy demanded peace; the coalition was dissolved; and the various powers rallied round a government which prefers so much moderation in the midst of victo- ry.
Thus, since the 18th of Brumaire, France has reconquered all the benefits of the 14th July; acquired in Europe more consideration than ever the monarchy enjoyed; and extended its territory to the limits assigned to it by nature.
Glory be to the 14th of July, and to the 18th of Brumaire.

Alexandria Advertiser.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16.
Walter S. Belt and Dr. Blake are inform- ed that the Alexandria Advertiser will be closed against their productions in future. Having ignorantly been induc- ed to give publicity to the first charge against Dr. Blake, we thought it a duty incumbent on us to allow him the pri- vilege of defending himself—in his de- fence he brought forward charges against Mr. Belt, which it would have been unwarrantable injustice in us not to have allowed him an opportunity of con- futing; but from the nature of their re- plies we see no prospect of their being brought to a conclusion; and apprehen- sive they may be disagreeable to a num- ber of our patrons (to two thirds of whom we are aware they are totally uninteresting) we have taken the liber- ty of exercising the authority delegated to us as the conductors of a paper in a free country.
Extract of a letter, dated London, June 18, received in Salem.
"I had some conversation at Port- mouth, with an officer that had been cru- ising off Havre—his orders are to stop all neutral vessels bound into Havre, the river Seine, and the ports adjacent. In conse- quence of these orders he sent into Port- mouth an American vessel bound to Fe- camp. The admiralty have declared that they do not consider Feamp as blockaded, and have recommended that the vessel be liberated; but the captors are determined to have the cause tried in the Court of Ad- miralty; and as they have acted only ac- cording to their instructions, in capturing this vessel, they have nothing to fear from the result of the trial. The vague man- ner of giving orders for the blockading port or ports, I hope will be put an end to, and this seems probable, from what I have seen as coming from the admiralty."
NEW MARINE VENTILATOR.
A mechanic of this city has constructed a ventilator on the principle and in the form of the common bellows. It is de- signed to be placed between decks, and fix- ed upon a large tube, which extends to the bottom of the ship's hold and stands on the keelson. It is wrought with a brake like that of a pump, and discharges the foul air through another tube which perforates the upper deck; by means of this simple contrivance, the lowest stratum of foul air, which consists principally of fixed air, and the most noxious to animal life, is first e- vacuated. It will discharge twenty bar- rels in a minute, and in a very few minutes will render nearly pure the whole atmos- phere of the largest ship's hold. It has, we apprehend, a decided superiority over the ventilator which forces pure air into the hold of a ship, by which means the foul air becomes diluted without being totally exhausted.

CONDITIONS.
 1. The whole set will be printed in a handsome duodecimo size, on a super- fine wove paper, and new type, made purposely for the work.  2. The price to subscribers, neatly bound and lettered, will be one dollar per vo- lume—to non-subscribers one dollar and seventy-five cents.  3. No money required until the delivery of each volume, and at the completion of the whole a list of its patrons will be given.  4. The first volume will consist of the fol- lowing much admired plays— Castle Spectre, Heir at Law, the Stranger, and Secrets Worth Knowing.  5. The publishers pledge themselves to be particular in their selection, by giv- ing place to such plays as are publicly and justly admired for purity of senti- ment, and elegance of diction; and no expense withheld in rendering the work for beauty equal to any in America. 
When it is considered that the A- merican public have never as yet been put in possession, from a press in this country, of a set of well selected and approved plays, capable of producing much rational senti- ment, chaste wit, and good humor, so well calculated to inculcate morality, a- muse, recreate and animate the mind—the publishers flatter themselves their exert- ions will meet with encouragement.
