General Eaton. — We have held in our possession for some time past a very interesting letter from General Eaton written at the time he was about to enter the Lybian desert in his operations against Tripoli, to one of his correspondents in this state. We have foreborne laying it before our readers, lest its publication might possibly prejudice the important expedition he was engaged in: but it now being ascertained that the expedition has been abandoned; that our gallant countryman together with the bashaw Hamet, and about ninety of their faithful followers, have escaped to Syracuse,—[We say escaped, for we are told that the soldiery which had been embodied by general Eaton, and the ex-bashaw, & who were flushed with the prospect of sharing the pillage of the usurper's territory, on finding in the peace which had been concluded, the frustration of all their hopes, became outrageous, & their vengeance had like to have been fatal to both the general and the Bashaw]—we think it no longer necessary to withhold it from the public. At present we shall not make any other comment upon the extracts we give than merely to say they delineate a deep and able politician, united with the cool, persevering & intrepid partizan, and that they will be read with great interest:
"Egypt, province of Behera, village of Dinamhour,
JAN. 25th, 1805.
"After touching at Malta, the Argus arrived at Alexandria, [Egypt,] on the 26th of November, 1804. We received from the British resident at Cairo, and consul at Alexandria, every assistance which the nature of our affairs & their duty could require & admit. At Alexandria it was intimated to me, that Hamet bashaw [the exiled prince of Tripoli] was not to be had without application to Eli Bey, to whom he had attached himself—both of whom were in Upper Egypt, acting with the Mameluke Beys, against the Ottoman government; and to whom access was barred by the Turkish army. Under these discouraging appearances and contrary to the advice of every body on the sea coast, on the 30th of November I left Alexandria for Grand Cairo, with three officers, lieutenant O'Bannan, Messrs. Mann, & Danielsen, and a few men from the brig, who together with some others recruited on the spot, and at Rosetta, made an escort of 18—This precaution was necessary upon account of the banks of the Nile being infested by the wild Arabs of the desert and by straggling Arnaut deserters from the grand seignior's army; the former subsist by plunder; the latter rob and murder indiscriminately every defenceless being whose appearance denote property. Both move in bodies and have rendered themselves terrible throughout Egypt. On the 8th Dec. 1804 we arrived without accident at Grand Cairo.
Here I found the prime minister & one of the confidential governors of Hamet bashaw, who confirmed the intimation I received at Alexandria, that the bashaw was actually with the Mameluke Beys, & considered as an enemy to the government of this country. I had already dispatched to him secret couriers from Alexandria and Rosetta; and now sent off a third and 4th from the capital. But I had not yet had an audience of the viceroy, and not knowing his accessible point, the difficulty I apprehended of getting the Bashaw out of the country exceeded that of access to him;—for I found it impossible to do it privately, and to attempt it might not only defeat our main object, but endanger our own personal safety.
Wherefore, at my first interview finding the viceroy a man of much more frankness and liberality than commonly fall to the character of a Turk, I unreservedly opened to him the object of my visit to his country; and received the proffer of friendly offices.
This cleared a little my prospect while it created new embarrassments—for the interference or even the amnesty of the viceroy in the behalf of Hamet bashaw might excite the jealousy of the Mameluke Beys, and have the effect to debar his departure. But a new difficulty beset me which I little expected, and less from the quarter it came. The French consul at Alexandria, Mr. Drovitte, a Piedmontese, had insinuated that we were British spies in American masks; and that our pretext of friendship for Hamet bashaw aimed at nothing but an intercourse with the Mamelukes, who are suspected of being in British subsidy; of course an insinuation as injurious as it was malignant. I am yet
totally at a loss to account for this strange conduct of Mr. Drovitte, as I am equally so at the indignity offered our flag being refused by that of the French throughout this country, those marks of civility never refused to a foreign flag, in ordinary cases and which we received from every other nation represented here; except that informed of our object, and pursuing the same line of conduct with his colleague at Tripoli, he thought by these means to defeat that object. I found means however, (the means that move every thing in this quarter of the globe) to remove this difficulty; and finally received the viceroy's letter of Amnesty, and passport of safe conduct to Hamet bashaw, which was despatched to him on the 15th in quadruplicate, and by other conveyances.
"I now patiently waited the issue of the measures thus far pursued. Mean time busied myself in finding out the Tripolitan emigrants in the country;—their attachment to the rival brothers; and their feelings towards the Americans. Among these, one appeared who was only ninety days from Tripoli, an Arnaut Turk, who had been in the service of Jussuf Bashaw [the reigning Prince of Tripoli] during the blockade of last summer; him I had under particular examination. Supposing himself conversing with Englishmen he was very unreserved in his confessions; and being decidedly in the interest of the enemy (he was enthusiastic in his cause, tho' willing to dispense with his honors) his story deserves the more credit. He said Tripoli had lost many men in the different attacks of the Americans last summer; the town was much damaged, and the inhabitants under such a state of consternation that nobody slept in the city; and that no business was done there. He confirmed the account of the fire ship Infernal, being blown up by captain Summers, after being boarded by two row gallies. Stating this fact the fellow wept! He observed, that this was an unfortunate war for the poor cruisers: They had been led to believe the Americans were all merchantmen; and that they should have nothing to do but to go out and bring them in; but they found them devils; from whom nothing was to be gained in war; and therefore he had quitted the service of Jussuf Bashaw. The bashaw was nevertheless determined not to make peace with these infidels until he shall have humbled them, and made them pay for the damages they had done to his navy and city. He acknowledged that Hamet Bashaw had many friends in Tripoli; but said that Jussuf Bashaw had taken care of him! It is ascertained that the latter had employed and paid assassins to poison the former: These undoubtedly reported that they had executed their commission, and hence we account for the report of Hamet Bashaw's death.
"On the 8th instant, I received from the bashaw an answer to my letter from Cairo; dated the 28th of the month of Ramadan, corresponding with the 3d January, 1805, stating that he should that day depart for this province, and take lodgings at the house of an Arab chief where he should wait to meet me. But as my letters to him, dated after the viceroy's amnesty, all advised him to repair to the English House at Rosetta, under the guarantee of the viceroy's passport; and believing he might push his march hither I left Cairo for that place the 13th instant, and arrived in three days.—Nothing additional appearing there, I proceeded to Alexandria, the 19th, and on the 20th received the bashaw's answer to my letter the 28th November, of the same tenor with that received from him at Cairo. I appeared, that no confiding in the viceroy's dispositions concerning him, or perhaps, not receiving his letter before leaving the Mameluke bey's camp, the bashaw had determined to expect an interview at the place he first named, near the lake Fiaume, on the border of the desert, about 190 miles from the sea coast. Nothing can be more incredulous than a Turk of a Turk's honor; and for a good reason, nothing can be more equivocal than their plighted faith; it is an article of barter and sale. Though travelling in the interior of the country had become unusually hazardous on account of the jealousy of the Turkish chiefs; of the reins given to licentiousness by the barbarity of civil war; and of the grounds the wild Arabs hold by reason of all restraint being relaxed on the part of the Turks and the Mamelukes, who are too seriously occupied with each other; I determined to attempt a passage to Fiaume.
"Accordingly on the 22d instant, I left Alexandria, with two officers from the Argus, lieutenant Blake and Mr. Mann, and an escort of twenty-three men indifferently mounted, and on the evening of the 23d, found myself arrested at the Turkish lines, between seventy and eighty miles on our route, by the Kercbie of Dimanhour,
commanding a detachment of 500 Ottoman troops on the frontier. No argument I could advance could at all modify the severity of his first resolution not to let me pass his lines —though in every thing else he treated us with distinction and great hospitality—However mortified the concession, I cannot but applaud the correct military conduct of this chief—for it was in itself a suspicious circumstance, that a body of armed, unknown foreigners should be found shaping a course for his enemy's rendezvous with no other pretext than to search for a refugee Bashaw! But this suspicious circumstance was strengthened and aggravated by the insinuations gone out from the French consul, that we came into this country with secret views hostile to the Turks. Our situation here was somewhat perplexing, and vastly unpleasant. I do not recollect ever having found myself on ground more critical: to a natural suspicion of a Turk, this general added a fierce and savage temper; of course proud and arrogant. I soon found my point of approach. I passed high compliments upon the correctness of his military vigilance and conduct; said it was what I apprehended, and what I certainly would have done myself in similar circumstances; but knowing from character the magnanimity of his soul, I was determined to have an interview with him, in full confidence that he would aid a measure so purely humane, and so manifestly to the Turkish interest in Egypt, in case he would not permit me to pursue my object personally. At the same time recurring to the example of the Viceroy, whose letter I had shown to him, and signified, that I had it in charge to tender him a douceur in testimony of our exalted opinion of his name and merit. He was moved; said my confidence should not be disappointed; and called into his tent a chief of the Arab tribe: a wandering host who have from time to time been driven or emigrated from the kingdom of Tripoli, since the usurpation of Jussuf Bashaw, to whom he stated my business, and asked, if he could give any account of Hamet Bashaw? The young chief, in an extacy exclaimed, he knew every thing! I requested him to declare himself; for I had no secret in my relation with that bashaw. His story is anticipated in the statement I have given in the Bashaw's actual position. He added that 20,000 Barbary Arabs were ready to march with him from this border, to recover their native country and inheritance—repeated, that he knew our plan —and now that he had seen me he would plight his head to the Turkish general he would bring me Hamet Bashaw in ten days. The Turk accordingly despatched him with a companion on this message the next morning.
"I could yet perceive some symptoms of suspicion and apprehension on the brow of my newly acquired military friend.—Wherefore, without seeming to have any particular view other than a solicitude to meet the man I sought, but really with a view of removing his apprehensions, I proposed to him to return to his head quarters, this village; send off my escort to Alexandria, and to wait myself with only the gentleman in company, and our servants, until our Arab chief should return from Fiaume with the bashaw. This proposal had its desired effect. We left him and retired to a handsome marquee prepared for the purpose: took refreshments he had ordered to be in readiness; and the next morning returned with an additional escort from his camp to this place; where we found lodgings in Turkish style provided for us.
"Thus far I have sketched an abstract from my journal. Do you expect something of Egypt? Its antiquities? Its curiosities? Its wonders? You must be disappointed. I am too much occupied with modern affairs to ransack catacombs, or climb pyramids; for the same reason I have not time to gratify curiosity; and as to wonders, can only notice, what I cannot help being impressed with, the wonderful ignorance; wonderful stupidity; wonderful tyranny, and wonderful wretchedness which so strongly mark the features of a country once the wonder of the world for science, wisdom, wholesome police and national happiness. Here is matter for a volume; I can only devote six lines to the subject. Not a man reads here; yet none but thinks himself divinely taught. The Kercbie of whom I have just spoken, in a little excursion to gather contributions, has cut off between fifty and sixty peasant's heads for no other crime than poverty; and just without the eastern gate of the village, a gallows is now erecting to hang a child of twelve years, the only son of a chief of the village Rabamania, because his father cannot pay the contribution levied on him!
God! I thank thee that my children are Americans.
JANUARY 31, 1805. "Since I began this letter circumstances have accumulated to render our situation more awkward, and I may well say ridiculous. The next day after our entering the house where we quartered, a marquee was pitched upon the terrace of an adjoining house, and a Turkish guard mounted there, under pretence of fresh air; armed Turks were sent into the house for the purpose of accompanying us as a life guard in our walks; and a centinel was placed at our door, in the lower court to prevent intrusions. Though these arrangements were vastly polite, I should have been very willing to have dispensed with them; yet, by appearing frank and easy with the Turkish general, his suspicions seemed to have subsided. I received all these marks of vigilance as marks of attention, thanked him for his civilities; and assured him I should be careful to make suitable mention of them to the president, my master. By this kind of adulation yesterday I so much drew him from his guard, that he opened his heart, and unequivocally confessed, that "In the present convulsed state of Egypt the Turks ought to suspect every body, especially the English; for they had peculiar reasons for suspecting us as the French consul had declared us British spies." What does not that savage merit for this wanton and base manner of exposing our lives to the infamy of a gibbet! I hope not to meet him at Alexandria."
"Alexandria, Feb. 16, 1805.
"We arrived with the bashaw and suite, at the English cut between Aboukir Bay and the lake Merotis, a week ago last Wednesday: Here we had new difficulties to encounter: The French consul had been beforehand of me, in gaining the admiral of this port, and governor of the city; and they, consequently, came to a resolution not to permit the bashaw to enter the city nor to embark at this port. Arguments was useless, for we were too late in our application of it.
"But we felt no other inconvenience than delay; for the bashaw had before came to a resolution to march by land to Derne and Bengasi; and he now moved round the lake to form his camp at Arabs tower, about 30 miles west of the old port of Alexandria. In the mean time I stated to the viceroy the contempt his letter of Amnesty suffered from his subalterns in this place; in consequence of which he addressed a firman by achaux, to the governor, commanding immediate compliance with his letter of amnesty; and imposing a fine on him of 25,000 piasters.
"This gives us a final triumph in Egypt; though I confess I could have wished the viceroy's resentment had not fallen so heavily upon his disobedient governor. I did not think it prudent to advise the bashaw to enter the city, lest vengeance should retaliate on him the chastisement he has brought upon his Turkish brother of this place. We shall, therefore, take our line of march through the Desert of Lybia towards Derne, next Wednesday.
"Our party consists of 500 men; 100 of whom are Christians recruited on the spot, and employed in our service. We shall make a stand at Bomba, and wait the return of captain Bull with supplies and reinforcements to seize the provinces of Derne and Bengasi; for which purpose he sails for the rendezvous the day after tomorrow.
"Here is a sketch in the port from Tripoli, sent by the enemy to prevent Hamet Bashaw being permitted to leave Egypt: but not having with him the only argument which carries all causes here, the poor devil must go back, in season only to give Jussuf Bashaw information of the fate which awaits him.
"If our measures are supported, he must fly his kingdom or die. How glorious would be the exhibition to see our fellow citizens, in captivity in Tripoli, march in triumph from a dungeon to their tyrants palace and display there the flag of the United States."

DANISH ORDINANCE.
Directing that Danish masters of vessels sailing from North American ports for Europe, shall provide themselves with certificates of health, from the Danish Consul or Vice-Consul, at the place of lading.
COPENHAGEN, May 15, 1805.
We Christian the Seventh, by the grace of God, King of Denmark, Norway, of the Goths and Wends, Duke of Schleswick, Holstein, Stormar, and of the Dithmarsches, Count of Oldenburgh, &c. &c. Make known these presents—Whereas by the establishment of a complete quarantine regulations we have taken care to secure our realms and dominions against the danger to be feared from pestilential epidemic disorders...
And whereas the great distance and the extensive coasts of the United States of North America, require particular measures of precaution, to be assured of the health of the places, from whence vessels may arrive in our ports, if all the severity of the quarantine laws shall not in every instance be applied to them. We found ourselves induced most graciously, to order as follows, to wit:
I. The consuls appointed by us in the ports of the United States of America, & by the vice consuls subordinate to them, shall be obliged to supply all vessels of our subjects, which are destined to depart from the ports of their respective districts for Europe, after strict investigation besides the bills of health issued by the proper authorities, with a particular certificate whereby the state of health of the place at the time when the vessel was laying there, may be known with certainty;—for which purpose particular forms according to which these certificates are to be made out, shall be forwarded to them.
II. Every one of our subjects commanding a vessel, who is destined to sail with the vessel commanded by him, from any North American port to any seaport in our or other European states, shall be obliged to demand such a certificate from our consul, or vice consul at the place from whence he commences his voyage; under penalty of paying a fine of fifty dollars, which shall go to our quarantine establishment.
III. Whereas our consuls & their vice consuls in the ports of the United States of North America, are empowered, when thereunto required, to grant similar passports to American and other foreign vessels destined for our and other ports of the states, bordering on the Baltic, there shall be future; and to commence from the time when the contents of this our ordinance shall have been made known in each place, to vessels arriving from North America, although the same may produce a clean bill of health, have free admittance into any of the ports of our realm and dominions, unless she is provided at the same time with such a certificate from our consul or vice consul, which shews, that the same is absolutely not subject to any suspicion.
In the contrary case, she shall be considered as suspected of a contagious disorder, and shall be subjected to the treatment directed in the quarantine law of our dominions &c. &c.
According to which, all those concerned have most humbly to conform themselves. Given in our royal residence of Copenhagen, the 15th May, eighteen hundred and five.

wards, and those friendly to Snyder in 3; and that the votes given for the former were 1198, for the latter 901; That in the Northern Liberties, a district of the county of Philadelphia, the candidates friendly to Snyder had 591 votes, and those friendly to M c Kean 377 votes.
Our country has scarcely concluded a peace with one foe, when a more formidable seems ready to take up arms against her. The Tripolitans have scarcely learned that the American flag will not tamely submit to insult and injury, and that Americans will not, like some European states, pay tribute where no tribute is due; when the Spaniards, regardless as it would seem of individual right and national respect, treat us with the utmost arrogance, and appear determined to put both our patience and our prowess to the test. The time apparently is not far distant when this country must either debase herself by submitting to indignities the most disgraceful, or meet this insolent enemy in the fight; which is the more honorable alternative let such men as Bainbridge and Eaton decide. [N. T. D. Ad]
It will be strange indeed (says the Balance) if our country is not well defended. the democratic papers say that the president has called upon the Militia, to stand in readiness to carry into effect the law of the last Congress, "For the more effectual preservation of peace in the ports and harbors of the United States and in the waters under their jurisdiction." With the militia upon the water, our navy upon land, and our lord high admiral in a cove, what a great and powerful and wonderful people we shall be.
FOREIGN.
Reflections on the War, from the London Morning Chronicle.
From the very beginning of this war, it was very easy for an impartial and discerning observer to perceive that our government, and all our public men, except a very few, were absolutely blind to the nature and necessary progress of that war, into which ministers entered with a levity that afforded a most melancholy presage of the future. They did not see the state of this country compared with France, in its proper light; so it was vain to expect from them any measures suitable to the occasion. While their mouths were full of the ambition and aggrandizement of France, it was quite evident that they did not affix any meaning to the words they spoke. They did not feel the subject at all. They acted, and have continued to act, as if we had to do with Louis XV and Madame Pompadour. They did not feel, though they often spoke of it, that France, at all times formidable under Bonaparte, and that though weakened by her civil and external wars, upon Mr. Pitt's principles of political economy, she was really much strengthened by them, as to every purpose of hostility. Every great nation has become so after civil wars, as the experience of all history, of France herself, and of England, abundantly proves. This is what tax makers and tax gatherers do not understand; but it is quite simple. A nation that has passed through such hardships, becomes hardy. The minds of men rise above the timidity and softness of prosperity and tranquility. They are accustomed to suffering, and they are familiarized with military ideas. The character is thus changed. On such a people, hardships and severities, which would drive the pampered sons of wealth and ease to despair, make no impression, and formidable indeed must they be to their neighbors. Happy would it have been for Europe had it been possible to seduce, or beguile France, into a twenty years peace. But the thing was impossible.
Yet it might have been expected, that statesmen would have viewed a war with an enemy of this kind, as an extraordinary case, and demanding extraordinary exertions. It might have been expected, that the old opinions of the best statesmen of this country, the whigs of king William & queen Anne's days, that the records of parliament itself would have been recalled to mind, not to excite despair, but to stimulate exertion. It was universally held in old times, that this country could not exist as an independent nation, if France even had Flanders, far less Holland. But our ministers thought nothing of the matter; they set themselves down, and the country too, quietly beside this volcano, just as they say the peasants sometimes do under Aetna and Vesuvius, ere the smoke of the last eruption had subsided.
It may be said, almost with strict justice, that two years of the war have been utterly lost, as to any purpose of wise and effectual
military preparation. Instead of adopting any new system, or materially improving the old, almost every thing that has been done for momentary effort, has been hurtful upon a great scale, and with reference to permanent objects. Instead of devising any means for setting on foot and maintaining a military force, such as the circumstances of Europe and of this country, in relation to France, demand, we doubt very much whether due provision is made for repairing the inevitable waste of ordinary casualties, &c. As to the reduction of the militia, and turning them into the line, it may have some slight effect, by bettering a part of what we had; but we have very little more reason to say, that our military strength is increased by an expedient than a man would have to boast of the increase of his wealth, who merely took twenty guineas out of one pocket, and deposited them in another.
This nation cannot be safe while France remains mistress of Flanders and Holland, and governs her whole territory with a military vigour; unless we have a military population, and that military population never can be created till a very large proportion of it has passed through the regular army. As to peaceable volunteering, and so forth, we believe nobody stands up for that nonsense now. The inevitable effect of that unwarlike sport is to make the people after the first half year, more unmilitary than they were before. But if it be impossible all at once to introduce a system of service limited in point of duration, and to give the effect produced by that system, it is high time to take some steps towards obtaining a regular army on the best footing, in which our means and opportunities allow.
A present England is reckoned by foreigners a maritime power. They do not reckon us a military nation in the ordinary sense. They deny that we have an army in the soldier's understanding of the term. They allow that we have several good troops of the different kinds, and are excellent materials as to the common men, but as to the system, science and management it is utterly denied to us. We have seen military books written in different countries, descriptive of the different armies of Europe, but an Englishman must be hurt at the view they give of our military system.
We have little hope that our hackneyed office bred statesmen will be moved out of their routine by any argument however cogent. Nothing but experience, the hard instruction of misfortune, can enlighten such men and make them practically wiser. Yet every day that passes on more & more demonstrates the necessity of being effectually armed at home. We cannot prevent France from perhaps out-numbering us at sea should the war continue, and after a few years peace she will most certainly equal us at least. We must not limit the energy of Bonaparte's counsels by the dotage of our own. And if the natives of France and her allies approach to us to exceed us in number, where can we find safety but in an army of courage & skill to defend us?—Every thing but that is but a momentary opiate to lull asleep alarm & cowardice. It permanently weakens and destroys us. Whether for honorable war or secure peace, this nation must have an army that will command the respect of our enemies and the confidence of our friends. The paper army of seven hundred thousand men exposes us to the derision of the one and the compassion of the other.
