FROM THE MONITEUR.
UPON some observations in an English paper on the subject of invasion, the Moniteur contains the following comment in a note:
And why does not the enemy come? — we shall see by the issue whose temerity will be chastised. We know your commander in chief; we have seen him at Hondscoot and in Holland; one third of the army of Boulogne would be sufficient to turn his daring enterprises to certain destruction. But whatever you may say on the subject, you know, as well as we do, what you have to expect from a contest by land. As to the maritime war, you undoubtedly have acquired and hitherto preserved a real superiority, but you were indebted for it, you still are indebted for it, to treachery. It was treachery that delivered up to you 39 French ships at Toulon; the treachery of the Prince of Orange acquired for you 12 Dutch ships; it was treachery, in short, that destroyed at Quiberon all the then surviving officers of our ancient marine. In spite of these advantages, so odiously acquired, and which we do not dispute with you, our squadrons attack you upon your own coast; the Shannon is blockaded, not by small vessels, as you say, but by a stout and fine squadron.
Your colonies had even arranged the terms of capitulation, and sent agents to treat with Villeneuve; but that was not the object of his mission, and in spite of the obstacles which he encountered in returning to Europe, though his voyage lasted fifty days, though he lost twenty days by contrary winds, he passed through the centre of your squadrons, and effected his junction. His object was not to attack your commerce, and yet he has done you damage, to the amount of twenty millions (nearly one million sterling.) In India a single French division made captures from you to a greater amount. One brig has taken a whole Newfoundland convoy off the Orkneys; our frigates traverse every sea; not a day passes without some of them entering our ports, and you have not yet captured one of them. In a word, you boasted you would attack our advanced line, which, however has often attacked your cruisers, far from the batteries, even in the middle of the channel, in such a manner that your ships, your frigates, and your corvettes, have sought security in their superior sailing. But two years have been spent in preparing for the descent, and the descent has not yet been made! It will be made unless you make peace. It will perhaps be made in one year, perhaps in two, perhaps in three years; but before five years shall have elapsed, we shall have humbled your pride, and that superiority which treachery has given you. As to the continent, think not that you may have allies there. You are the enemy of all nations, and every people will exult in your humiliation. But though you should succeed in corrupting some females or some ministers, the consequences would not be favorable to you; we should certainly acquire a new line of coast, new ports, new countries, and we should reduce your allies to such a degree, that we could afterwards turn our whole attention to the naval war. It is a singular conceit in you to think, that we could pretend, in one day, one month, or one year, to accomplish the reduction of your colossal power. Time is one of the means, one of the essential elements of our calculations. Have recourse, in such a situation of things to conspiracies, to assassinations; well and good. This species of warfare you are no strangers to. It is already reported that Drake is thinking of returning to Munich; Spencer Smith to Stuttgart, and Taylor to Cassel. France will not suffer them to set foot, not only on the continent, but in any place within 5 or 6 days march of its arms. Diplomatic assassins are out of the protection of the law of nations.
We expected to suffer some losses when you declared war. We might lose Martinique, Guadalupe, the Isles of France and Reunion. What have you done? you have reduced yourselves to the sorry system of blockade, which does not prevent our squadrons from traversing the seas. Continue to blockade our ports, but keep your eyes fixed on the beacons on your own coasts, and live in perpetual alarms.
Should your insulted nation, continue to be the dupe of some men, who have divided the government of England between them, not compel your Oligarchs to make peace, and to be persuaded that we are no more those Frenchmen that have been for so long a time sold and betrayed by weak ministers, inactive kings, or greedy Mistressesses, you are advancing towards an inevitable and fatal destiny.
We desire the peace of the continent, because it is in the situation in which we wished it should be. We might have augmented our own power, and weakened that of our rivals, if we had thought fit. If there be any state disposed again to disturb the Continent, it will be the first victim, and its defeat being reflected back upon yourselves, will render your dangers more imminent, and your fall more certain.
We repeat it; a just and reasonable peace alone can save you. One of our adages is already proved, and, since you cannot hope for safety but through the assistance of a power of the continent, singly you can do nothing against France, and France will never suffer that you only should have vessels on the seas—the seas are the property of all nations.
BOSTON, October 15.
FROM FRANCE.—The ship Morning Star, captain Hopkins, arrived at this port yesterday, in 34 days from Bourdeaux. A continental war was considered inevitable. It was reported that the troops were ordered from the coasts to the frontiers of France—and that the military establishment was to be augmented with sixty thousand conscripts.
We have been favored with Paris papers to the 1st September, and Bourdeaux papers to September 3, received by captain Hopkins. They mention the continuation of the warlike preparations of Russia and Austria; but state that the emperor has offered to consent to the mediation of a great power, probably, Prussia, for the continuation of peace. In the event of a war the neutrality of Denmark is calculated on. The Swedish minister has contradicted the report of the sale of Pomerania to Russia. Bonaparte was on the coast at the date of the last papers. The French Gazettes are full of accounts of the celebration of his birth-day, throughout France, Italy and Holland.
Borders of the Maine, Aug. 24.
It is said that the emperor Napoleon has sent an important declaration to a certain great court, in answer to the note of M. Novoziltzoff, in which his majesty says, that he accepts with pleasure the mediation of that court, to adjust the differences subsisting between him and other powers. Without giving credit to all the reports, it may at least, be concluded, that peace has numerous partisans, on the continent who, circulate their stories in opposition to the warlike rumors of England.
In one of the public prints has appeared the note which the Prussian minister Hardenburg, addressed to the French minister at Berlin, Laforet, accompanied with the well known declaration of Novoziltzoff. The note dated at Berlin, July 14, is in these terms:
"The undersigned minister of state &c. finds himself most reluctantly compelled to communicate to M. Laforet, envoy, &c. of the emperor of the French, the office with which he is charged by M. Novoziltzoff, of returning the French passport, and of announcing to him the order, which the emperor of all the Russias has sent him, in consequence of the late changes in Italy and particularly of the union of the Ligurian republic with the French empire not to pursue his journey into France. The king could not but feel infinite pain at seeing thus confirmed the uneasy suspicions which since the news of this unexpected event, he has not been able to repress, upon the effect which might result from it, relative to the salutary negotiation upon the eve of being opened. The lively desire for the reestablishment of a general peace, with which his majesty has not ceased to be animated and which he has so often manifested, is a sure proof of the painful sensations he experiences upon this occasion."

NATCHEZ, September 12.
We have received the following particulars of the seizure of the Messrs. Kempers, in a letter from Fort Adams, dated Sep. 5th.
YOU no doubt will have heard ere this reaches you of the taking of the three Kempers, but as you may not have heard all the particulars permit me to give them to you.
On Thursday night between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, an armed force composed of negroes and white men with black'd faces surrounded the house of Nathan Kemper, two miles north of the line and one mile from Pinckneyville, they in an instant broke open the door and some stout fellows believed to be negroes dragged Reuben Kemper from a bed on the floor out of doors and tied him, at the same time beating him with clubs, stabbing him with a knife or bayonet & giving him a severe wound in the face; about the same moment two or three fellows one of which was a large negro of the neighbourhood, and can be identified seized Nathan Kemper and dragged him from bed and out of the door, where he was tied in like manner.—While tying Nathan Kemper, a stout negro man threw down his wife with much violence, where he held her until the party were ready to move. Nathan Kemper was permitted to put on his overalls, but Reuben was dragged off in his shirt without shoes or hat: the party supposed to be upwards of fifteen in number, now moved off, dragging the Kempers on foot every now and then beating them with clubs; 'tis believed when they arrived opposite Pinckneyville, a part of their force was detached to take Samuel Kemper, the younger brother, who was at his residence in Pinckneyville, & about half after eleven o'clock seven stout fellows burst open the door and dragged Samuel Kemper from a sick bed where he had been confined for a few days with a violent attack of the fever, he was very much beaten with clubs and with a rope about his neck was conducted to where the balance of these ruffians were in waiting, the junction formed they proceeded to the line, where a number of men were in waiting to receive them, the men at the line were commanded by a poor trifling wretch who calls himself capt. Alston.
The three Kempers under this guard were then taken in strings (the elder Kemper bleeding at several pores) to Bayou Tunicau a distance of nine miles from the line, and just before day light they were put on board a boat and sent off for Baton Rouge under a guard of 6 men; about 11 o'clock next morning they reached the settlement of Point Coupee, when opposite the residence of Dr. Towns one of the Kempers hailed and described their situation; although this was done from about the middle of the river, the Dr. who was in bed, sick, heard it, and stimulated by those feelings which are the attendants of every good man, he arose, mounted his horse and galloped down to the fort, a distance of about four or five miles; on his giving the information he had received to lieutenant Wilson, the commanding officer he, the lieutenant, manned a large barge with some soldiers, and rowed into the stream, when after some little resistance the guard surrendered; thus was those unfortunate men who had taken an asylum in our territory saved from a punishment to think of which will make a feeling man shudder:— Samuel Kemper knew six out of the seven fellows who dragged him from his house, and horrid as it may appear two of them were his near neighbors, two others were from below the line, but Americans, and 2 others were negroes of the neighborhood, all of whom he has no doubt long ere this sworn to. Many circumstances have already transpired in the neighborhood of Pinckneyville, in corroboration of Kemper's assertion, the most striking of which is; That the two white men above the line who are accused, have fled below: there is not a doubt but a number of white men below the line were above with this armed force, but that negroes were most active seems certain. The citizens of Pinckneyville as well as all other places to which the news has extended are much enraged and wait in anxious expectation of some decisive measure being taken to bring to condign punishment the perpetrators of this horrid outrage: how far the act has been justified in the neighboring government remains to be determined by our superiors, but 'tis much to be hoped no time will be
lost in securing the white men who live above the line. The citizens appear to be all on the alert, no man considers himself safe where a few designing bad white men can exercise an influence over the blacks such as I have stated to you.
The following is a copy of a General Order which has been transmitted to Colonel Ellis, commanding the militia of Wilkinson county.
HEAD QUARTERS. Washington, Mississippi Territory, September 9th, 1805.
SIR, YOU will, on the receipt of this order, immediately assemble from your regiment the following detachment for duty viz two captains, two lieutenants, two ensigns, eight sergeants, eight corporals, two drummers or bugle-born men, and eighty two privates, to compose two equal companies; they are to be well armed and supplied with twelve rounds of ammunition per man. Not knowing the state of your regiment, by actual return, it must rest with yourself from which battalion you are to detach them. This detachment is to act as a patrol near and along the line of demarcation, to prevent or check irregularities of every kind—They are to rendezvous at Pinckneyville, from whence they will be detached to their different posts—as soon as they are assembled, a return of them will be made, naming the Commissioned officers, and reporting the strength and the state of arms &c. &c. and forwarded to the inspector at this place, when you will receive farther Orders—In the mean time the Detachment will be active as patrols examining all equivocal characters passing the line from below, and especially at night; stopping & securing any armed parties, improperly passing the line, as in some late instances; and in short affording all proper protection, in their power to the citizens of the United States and their property—The better to effect this, one Captain and his Command, will be detached to the East part of the line to be guarded, and take post on or near the Tickfaw, from whence, the communication must be kept up to meet the patrol detached from the post near the west end of the line.
Every occurrence worthy of note can, and must, be communicated in this way to the Senior Captain whose post will be in or near Pinckneyville, and who will report either to Head Quarters, or to the Inspector's Office.
Should any hostile attempts be made, either on the citizens, their property, or the detachment on duty; force must be repelled by force.
To John Ellis Esq. Lieut. Col. Com. the 5th Reg. of Militia.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23.
A letter from New Orleans, dated Sept. 1, says:—
"The topic of conversation at present is the arrest of a white Frenchman, now lodged in jail. (I understand from Martinico) who was attempting to effect an insurrection of the free people of color and slaves—his plan had so far progressed that, 10 days from the time of his detection, they were to commence their operations by firing the city of New Orleans at different points, which was to be the signal for a general massacre of the whites; "not even to spare the babes at the breast," was the order of their inhuman leader. Proclamations were prepared offering freedom to the negroes; and it is understood there are emissaries on the coast and at Natchez, that had their parts assigned in this sanguinary plot. Happily information was lodged with the Mayor of their intention in time to avert, for the present, the dreadful calamity."
Some days since, we announced the death of Gen. Eustace, in New-Jersey. This officer served in the American war, and attained the grade of Major-General in the French army in the North in the early days of the French Revolution. The Rev. Mr. Serimgeour of New-Jersey, at the request of Gen. E. on his death bed, has published the following paper which the Gen. read to him in a very solemn and affecting manner a few days previous to his death, viz. "A Soldier's Creed. I solemnly and devoutly declare to you, Sir, that I am a firm and unequivocal Believer in the blessed Redeemer of Mankind. My credence extends as far as vigorous and enterprising genius can comprehend the Divine Word; yet I look not forward from this limited distance with the slightest doubt or dismay: No sir, it is there [pointing up towards heaven] that faith becomes my."

patroness and my guide; and it is from my present couch of suffering, but not of com- plaint, that I wait, almost impatiently, for the joyful summons of my God and Saviour. (Signed) John Skey Eustace, 16th Aug. 1805, four afternoon." (Centinel.)
From the N. Y. Morning Chronicle.
A SHORT DISCOURSE.
The Election in Pennsylvania is a proud one for the People."
AURORA. THIS is an excellent text, given by Duane himself, a quarter from which it could not be expected; we shall make it the subject of a suitable discourse. "The election in Pennsylvania is a proud one for the people." It has ensured the existence of wholesome laws, and preserved the constitution from violation. A set of men, enemies to law, which holds no commerce with crime, had determined to make a thorough change in the legal code of Pennsylvania, and with "the venom of destruction," sweep away the constitution, as a formidable barrier that impeded their progress in this great and glorious work of reformation. Duane, a fugitive from a foreign land, the history of whose life renders it not surprising that he should be an enemy to justice, headed this daring and lawless band. He sounded the tocsin of alarm, his cries were heard beyond the mountains, and the whole state was made to re-echo the slander of the Aurora. Cheetham, Barber, and Holt, the parrots of Duane, repeated his calumnies, and prostituted their presses to this commander in chief of faction. A part of the legislature of Pennsylvania, frightened by his noise, or persuaded of his power, assisted in promoting his views, and in conjunction with him denounced the executive. The late election, "a proud one for the people," has returned them to their pristine obscurity. The councils of that state shall be no more disgraced by their clamors, nor the constitution endangered by their cabals.
"The election is a proud one for the people"—it has forever blasted schemes of faction. The jacobinical troop, in idea, had already possessed themselves of the government, and parcelled out the public offices among their needy adherents; already in imagination the constitution lay prostrate; the laws abolished, and learning and talents deprived of subsistence, were flying for support to other parts of the union. Already was seen this political pestilence extending its ravages from the shores of the Delaware far & wide infecting other states, perverting order, destroying constituted authorities, persecuting science, nursing ignorance, and encouraging crime. The prospect was closed by a perspective view of the constitution of the United States, like a strong and beautiful edifice, tumbling into ruins.
Oh! how often does an inflamed fancy lead its votary astray. How often does the enthusiastic madman lay up for himself misery and disappointment. Ye ministers of destruction, who could plan such extensive mischief, and smile at the ruin of your country where are your schemes now? Where the castles your imaginations raised? Where is the sceptre you was to wield? Where the scourge with which you was to inflict unmerited punishment on the wise and virtuous? Oh! the gilded castles of a wild romantic fancy have been swept away—the sceptre is placed in honest hands, and the scourge has fallen on your own shoulders. Well may Duane exclaim, "this election has been a proud one for the people."
Again—"The people of Pennsylvania may well be proud," for this election has established the character of the state—The disorders which for some time past had existed in their legislative councils, had considerably injured their reputation. Instead of the calmness of discussion and dignity, which should ever prevail in public bodies of this nature, to whom so much was entrusted, and on whose decisions so much depended, the grossest personalities and the most shameful disorder had marked their deliberations. Reason was exchanged for passion, and the interests of the community nearly sacrificed to the interests of the party. Duane, a character we now trust returning to its original insignificance, was suffered to have undue weight with the legislature, and exerted that influence to the destruction of the government—The reflecting in other states viewed with anxiety and dread this conflict between order and confusion, principle and error. So great was the clamour of the Aurora editor, so unbounded his assurance, and so unwearied his efforts, that serious apprehensions were entertained for the political safety of
Pennsylvania. The present election has quieted those fears, and has shewn good sense triumphant over prejudice, passion, and political knavery.—Most of the unquiet spirits that agitated the last legislature have been promoted to a "private situation," and we trust those who succeed them will avoid their errors, and take warning by their downfall.—The hopes of faction are withered, the designs of wicked men are frustrated. The reputation of the state for stability in principle is firmly established—the declaration therefore of Duane is correct, "the people may well be proud."
But not only the people of Pennsylvania, but the friends of republicanism, of order and good government in every part of the union, have reason "to be proud of this election." It has afforded a precedent by which some may be encouraged and others may take warning. The reflecting part of the community, who viewed with terror the point to which this destructive tide was tending, will rejoice that its progress is stopped. The friends of order will make vigorous resistance to the destructive innovations and poisonous doctrines of the disciples of Thomas Paine and the Aurora, who are scattered throughout the union. The deluded followers of De Witt Clinton may in this election read their destiny. United with Snyder, with Duane and with the deadly foe of christianity, in indissoluble bands, a similar fate, and a similar destiny awaits them.
From the [Philadelphia] Register.
It has been the boast of Mr. Jefferson, and his adherents, that the United States have not, at any period of their political existence, possessed equal means to render the nation respected, and its citizens happy and protected in their individual pursuits, as within the last four years.
The public debt liquidated; (by their predecessors) the revenue (organized by their predecessors) in a course of regular and certain collection; the public expenditure which the national exigencies under a former administration, had increased by the equipment of a navy, and the maintenance of a military force, now greatly reduced—while the public income has been augmented by the extension of commerce, by increased duties on imports, and by the sale of public lands.
With all these boasted advantages, derived certainly from other sources than either the industry or talents of the present administration—What is the actual condition of the American commonwealth?
Has the national debt been lessened, and in what proportion? Has the national character been raised? Have our seafaring citizens, to whose skill and labor, and our merchants to whose capital and enterprize, we owe the very means of paying the salaries of our public officers, been protected either in their persons or their property? Does the American flag obtain respect from any nation? Does it exempt the ships that bear it, from the contempt of the powerful or the piracies of the most contemptible states? Are we not the common prey of contending nations, and at once the objects of aggression to England, France, and Spain?
Do our ships that chance to escape these outrages, bring from every quarter of the world, multiplied accounts of the most unwarrantable and aggravated injuries? Are our seamen impressed by the cruisers of one nation—and cast into prison or even murdered by those of another?—Is one class of our citizens torn from their families, and another ruined in their fortunes; and the whole community deeply affected by their misfortunes? And do we suffer ourselves at the same time, to be insulted by the remark of our place-men, that in no period of their political existence have the United States been equally powerful as in the present moment?
A candid answer to this enquiry must call a blush into the cheek of every patriotic and independent American.
The misfortunes which accrue to a nation from the crimes or folly of an hereditary ruler, may claim the compassion of mankind—those evils which proceed from the incapacity of an elective chief can only obtain their scorn and reproach.

FROM THE BALANCE.
In the year 1796, I resided at a small village in the State of Maryland. Amongst many others, I formed an acquaintance with Mr. D. who was considered one of the principal villagers. On political subjects we differed in sentiments; but as I consider the circumstances I am about to relate as wholly distinct from political sentiments, I shall describe neither his nor my own.
Being one evening at his house on a visit, the conversation accidentally turned upon some of the effects likely to be produced by the revolution in France. Mr. D. hereupon observed, that,—"whatever ill effects the French revolution might have, it would, he hoped, have good ones more than sufficient to counterbalance the bad. Among the doctrines offered he considered as being far from the least important, the tendency it would have to open the eyes of those who had long been priest-ridden, and made the dupes of priest-craft, in that once credulous and blinded nation. He was not without hopes that the benighted effects would be felt by neighboring nations, and even by his own dear country, America." I was about to make some reply; but his imagination was too far heated to allow him a moment's time to listen; so without further ceremony he put into my hands a pamphlet, saying at the same time, "read this attentively; and, laying aside all prejudice, judge of its contents fairly and candidly." Without looking even at the title page of the pamphlet, I put it into my pocket, and soon after went to my lodgings. After what had already passed, I was not much surprised on examining the contents of the pamphlet, to find that it was one which had been published in France, and was calculated to overthrow all religion and order in society. It had been reprinted in America, (I think in the city of New York,) and had assumed an elegant English dress. The title of the pamphlet I cannot perfectly recollect—I think a part of it was—"Natural Reason, as opposed to Supernatural." It was written with the true spirit which actuated the execrable Dupont, when, in the Hall of the French National Convention, he exclaimed—"There is no God, but Liberty; no Gospel, but the Constitution." In a word, the writer wholly denies the being of a God. In a short time I returned the book to him, and, had he not solicited my opinion respecting it, should have left him without making any remarks. On my giving a firm, unqualified, and decided opinion against it, he appeared to be considerably agitated, and with warmth exclaimed—"I was apprehensive that you were one of those who have been blinded and deluded by the priests, those pests of society: but whatever they, and all the theologians on the face of the earth, may or can say to the contrary, I firmly believe, and unqualifiedly assert, that THERE IS NO GOD! His son, a fine lad of about five years old, was at this time sitting between his father's knees, and hearing him talk rather more warmly than usual, was noticing particularly what he said. On hearing Mr. D. say, "there is no God," I perceived that the little boy discovered considerable surprise. After looking a short time sedately in his father's face, he very innocently exclaimed—"Why, papa, if there be no God, who made the world then?" Then starting up and running towards the door; "I will," said he, "go in and ask my dear mamma." "No, my dear," said his father, "you need not ask your mamma; go into the yard and play: I will tell you all about it another time." He kept his word; and I am sure the Christian reader will not be displeased to learn in the sequel, that I shortly after found him carefully instructing this same son in the great leading doctrines of the Christian religion. Mr. D. has become a man of exemplary piety; and, as far as we may be allowed to judge from appearances, a sincere Christian. I have heard him acknowledge, that the above mentioned short question of his son was the first circumstance which arrested him in his mad career. The son thus became the successful preacher to his deluded parent. Albany, August 20, 1805.
FOLKSTONE, August 26.
Inspection of the coast.—When the inspection at Dover, by the Duke of York, finished on Saturday, his royal highness, proceeded to the Folkstone Heights, where the 11th Light Dragoons commanded by colonel Thomas, were drawn up to receive him. The discipline, alertness, and proficiency of this regiment, drew from the commander in chief, very warm and merited commendation. The Martello Towers erecting on and near Cob Point, and which commanded the adjacent bay, next occupied the attention of the royal party, who reached Sandgate, at 8 o'clock, where they dined with maj. gen. Moore. The brigade at Shorncliffe were ordered to be ready to receive his royal highness the next morning at 8 o'clock, but a very thick fog prevented these orders from being carried into execution before 12, when the atmosphere became perfectly clear.
The regiments of which this brigade is composed are, the first and second battalions of the 43d, the first and second battalions of the 52d, and the second battalion of the 78th, a highland regiment lately raised; to these are attached several pieces of artillery.
The ground was kept by a detachment from the 11th light dragoons. The 43d were on the right; the 52d on the left; the 78th in the centre, and the artillery on each flank. The batteries and Sandgate castle were manned by sea-fencibles, and the battery on Shorncliffe by a party from the Flintshire militia. His royal highness was received with a royal salute; he then rode in front and rear of the brigade, and afterwards took his station opposite to the centre.
The troops passed his royal highness both in slow and quick time, and whilst they were engaged in performing some evolutions the artillery descended the hill in different directions, taking various positions, which had been allotted them. A sham fight was afterwards executed with the greatest skill and precision. The variety of the ground exhibited the troops to the greatest advantage.
His royal highness in the afternoon reviewed the troops at Braybourne Lees. Some unexpected orders having been issued by the general, sir D. Dundas, occasioned a momentary delay; but the 95th, a rifle corps, displayed great perfection, as well as to battalions of the York, which had marched from Ashford. This morning, at the request of his royal highness, the 1st battalions of the 43d and 62d regiments were again drawn on, who went through several evolutions with wonderful precision, in double quick time.

Taxes of every kind on all the said property are fully paid up to include 1805.

Ample discount will be allowed for cash payments at any interval. Good deeds will be given on payment of the purchase money free of Dower.
The rapid improvement and growing value of Georgetown strongly incite purchasers of property at this time.
