MATTHEW LYON TO WILLIAM DUANE.
IN an address intended for you last summer, I gave you reason to expect to hear from me again, whenever you did me the honor of another attack. You remained silent towards me for several months after that correction; it is so long since you have broke out again and have been honoring me with the lashes of your poisonous and lying pen without my notice, that by this time you may perhaps suppose I have either become callous, or that I am afraid to encounter your gigantic blaguardism. Sir, neither is the case; I must have been deaf and blind, as well as callous, not to notice your vile attempts to destroy my character; nothing but a crowd of business has occasioned this delay.
The animals called skunks are extremely plenty in the barrens of Kentucky, I have frequently seen them sitting in the road before me, after making a noise to start them out of the path without success. Not choosing to come within the reach of the odoriferous liquid, with which they contaminate the atmosphere, I have reluctantly given them the path and rode round; at length some time last summer, having met an insolent fellow of that tribe in a defile, impassable ledges on both sides, I saw no other course but to risk the odoriferous charge, and push through. This I accordingly did to the destruction of my adversary; without any other injury than having my horse a little besprinkled, which was principally washed off at the next rivulet.
I ask your pardon for this digression sir, but the analogy between my situation then and now is so very striking, I could not get the thing out of my mind till I put it on paper.
You may recollect your old friend Matthew Lyon, on his departure for the western country in March 1801, wrote a valedictory letter to the fallen John Adams. The same Matthew on his departure from the Atlantic States in 1805, honors the would-be tyrant William Duane with a valedictory letter, which he concludes will be sufficient on his part until his return in December next. Having made up my mind to publish this letter, your good nature sir, will I presume, excuse my sending it to you in print, and as I would not like to send you a letter destitute of amusement, it shall contain a short story; although some parts of it is no more than a dream, other parts may be said to be taken from real life.
A wretch, hunted for his crimes from Asia to Africa, from Africa to Europe, from Europe to America, landed on the Atlantic shore of the United States seven or eight years ago, incapable of earning his bread by common honest laborious industry, poor and penniless, driven for his petulance from the station which first offered him subsistence in America, when a ragged vagabond, with a downcast guilty look, like Cain, expecting every man's hand to be raised against him; be mired with filth, and shunned as a spectre, with no other distinguishing property than that of ability to write with severity; to give falsehood and lies some semblance of truth; to give truth the appearance of falsehood. The democrats of this country were taken in by him; by their countenance and indulgence he became the conductor of a press; which had been distinguished for its correct course; they enabled him to put on a clean shirt, to fill his belly, to look a little sleek and hold up his head.
The democratic republicans were at that time in a conflict for the reigns of government with a party opposed to their principles, consisting of a few monarchy men, some tories and aristocrats, together with a large share of such people as are attached to any government under which they feel safe and easy.
The last class were made to believe by their leaders that democracy was a jacobinical, disorganizing demon, who would deluge the country with anarchy, disorder, confusion, immorality and infidelity, and that republicanism was a word which might mean any thing or nothing. In this contest this man enlisted himself, and was of no small use to the democratic party in exposing the views and projects of their adversaries. He attempted to gull the republican members of congress into a purchase of the establishment, in order to hire him on a salary to conduct it. I have reason to believe my advice prevented the speculation. I told the members to give the man
money, give him money, all you can afford — let us support him through the crisis, & if our party succeeds in obtaining the reins of the government, the paper will support itself; if we fail it must fall. Let him manage the paper for himself; let the economy of it be at his own risque as much as possible. It was out of their power to have a proper check upon the charges & expenditures of such an establishment. I foresaw his charges would be made up something like those made for printing for the house of representatives of the United States, which the committee of that house with all their vigilance, have not been able to reduce nearer than 30 per cent. to what other people will now do it for; when the lowest bidder has the work. I foresaw that the dues to the establishment would not be collected with the same promptitude and good management, for such a company, as for an individual whose support depended on it — I knew very well that when the establishment was purchased by such company, at the enormous price talked of, it would be a tool in the hands of this man which he might use to his own pleasure, and that whenever he chose he would pick a quarrel with the proprietors, desert the establishment, and get another set up at one third the price proposed for that. I spoke freely against the purchase; he missed the speculation, and can never forgive me for his disappointment.
When it was insinuated that offers were made by general Hamilton to purchase the office for the use of the opposite party, I told a great friend of mine who was most zealous for the purchase, that I considered these insinuations thrown out merely to alarm the republicans, and drive on the bargain. When this story appeared in a public paper, and poor Frothingham was fined and imprisoned for republishing it, without any effort on the part of the wretch I am speaking of, (who has acknowledged himself the author,) to save Frothingham, my friends was convinced it was right.
I often told my republican friends in those days, that the TRES of this man would injure our cause if the conflict lasted long enough to have them exposed. A thousand times has he brought a blush on the face of the honest men of our party, when they read his unfounded attacks against their opponents; with regret, the most discerning foresaw that they themselves would be subject to the same insults and indignities, whenever they happened to displease this unprincipled Scaramouch of their own architecture.
Success attended the endeavors of the democratic party; they triumphed in the election of a chief magistrate most deservedly dear to them, and this creature was allowed to carve for himself much to his own mind, the share he pleased of the spoils of the victory; not satisfied with this, and grieved at the prospect of the restoration of peace and tranquility as well as confidence and good humor between honest men of both parties under a democratic administration, a prospect unsavory to him who delights in political turmoil, whose political and pecuniary consequence depends on a continual bluster, an everlasting jarring of parties, and a tempestuous political ocean, without a hope of ever seeing a calm. This person is suspected by some to be at this time favorable to the views of a foreign potentate, who wishes to see democracy and republicanism wrote down and brought into disgrace in this country.
This person is thought by some to be a very fit instrument in the hands of the emperor who has disgraced and driven republicanism from the country he governs, and whose anger burns at the thought of it in any other country. It is well known in Europe, that England had her Porcupine in this country, whose attempts against republicanism and democracy failed; his attacks were bold, open, daring, and insolent: he attacked front to front. A more insidious method is now supposed to be in contemplation. Last night I dreamed I had a peep at a translation of the communication of the prime Minister of the U. S. to his correspondent in Philadelphia. After dilating on the cause of Porcupine's failure, and recommending a different course, he says, "It is with deep regret that we hear some Frenchmen say, that a republican form of government can be supported. They quote the U. States as an example; this example is a thing every despot must abhor, yet no potentate can be so immediately interested in the destruction of that kind of government, as the emperor my master. The thoughts of a powerful people, a rising nation, enjoying peaceably a form of government and an administration of their own choice, renders the glory and the permanency of the new
monarchy extremely precarious, especially over a people who a few years ago had a taste of the happy effects of self-government.
No man can do my master the emperor greater service than he who brings the American people to cast off their republican form of government and accept a monarchy — The way to affect this is obvious to you; carry democracy to the utmost extreme; make the people believe that they are gods, that they are wise in the extreme; that every man is qualified to be a governor, a judge, or a legislator; make the whole people of the state draw lots for all the offices once in three months, if possible, raise their aversion to all ancient institutions, and all those men they have been accustomed to confide in, especially real, well informed, honest republicans; get leaders a head of your own stamp, let them flatter the peoples vanity and get them uneasy; tease them with new political dogmas, cry out party! party! Stigmatize every one who opposes you or presumes to think differently; create a reign of terror under which no one will dare to fall off from any measure proposed by the party, however barefaced, or anti republican it may be; say the measure is opposed by its enemies, merely because they are not of your party; — whenever you lose a point attack the constitution; attack it again and again — no measure ever served so much to bring the people of France to give up their liberties, as that of constitution making. In other countries they have been reckoned sacred things, to be touched in case of special necessity only; counted upon as barriers against the encroachment of any branch or person in the government, and as a check to the turbulent passions excited by any sudden disgust. In France they have been made and sworn to; made and unmade with such ease & rapidity, that they became contemptible, and ridiculous to that degree, that when the instrument was offered for the people's sanction, which deprived them of the last hope of self government, they received it with the same indifference and sangfroid, as they would have done a new song.
Let the American people make a new constitution, or alter their old ones a dozen times in seven years, and I warrant them ready for a first consul for life with power to appoint his successor, or for an emperor, which ever is offered them. You have with you a fine promising young man for the purpose? he is naturally a tyrant, with something of the adroitness and perspicuity of my master; he has the same assuming republican airs; his loquacious manners are extremely well calculated to draw artless, ignorant people into any snare — puff him high in every paper; say high sounding things of his virtue and his integrity; keep out of sight his aristocratic principles; done suffer the people to know that he opposes their right to general suffrage, and that he contends that no man ought to vote in the people's election who is not a land holder; he will make you his prime minister no doubt, and then there will be another Talleyrand; this you have a right to promise yourselves in case of success; in any event your labor will be well rewarded; stick to it that you are the true organ of the public will; the people's own true friend; talk big about your influence, write paragraphs puffing your own dear self, extolling your own superlative merit; send them to your subaltern satelites from Maine to Georgia; let them make them their own in their own sooty papers, and you can copy from them; tell your creatures that you can make any man governor or legislator that you please, make them believe it, and boast of it to show your great consequence; tell them that you are poor and patriotic; keep your carriage out of sight, and don't let them know that you live at the rate of 4 or 5000 dollars a year." There was I thought something in these instructions about plots & the end justifying the means; but before I could read the communication half thro' a loud noise in an adjoining room waked me, as I was examining some of the latter pages of this diplomatic correspondence.
There, Mr. Duane, lies before you a picture, look on it again; examine it particularly and see if it fits any person with whom you are acquainted: if you think it does not fit you, then surely you'll not complain. Is there aught set down in malice? If you do not like the picture, permit me to advise you to amend the original, that is the way to get the picture drawn more to your liking another time.
I have been more liberal towards you, sir, than you have been with me — you have not suggested a doubt or a suspicion merely: you have insolently averred, that I have been corrupted to support the compromise with the Georgia claimants, and
you have done so without attempting to adduce a single particle of proof. If you have any claim to the picture before you, do not renounce it because you may lose its authenticity and similarity with you cannot be supported.
Does not your predilection for the Ciscian Dynasty appear in almost every paper you publish; does not every one of those papers prove your determination to keep the public mind in a fume, and lead the people of this country on in the same excess of change, novelty and confusion, which has led to the establishment of a new tyranny in France, and the loss of self-government to that brave people. Do not your attempt to stigmatize and bribe with corruption 75 members of the eighth congress, 38 of whom were republicans for having given their assent to a very reasonable compromise of the conflicting claims between the United States and the claimants under an anterior purchase from the state of Georgia, indicate a bitter enmity to public faith, to national peace and harmony; does it not indicate a propensity to disorganization, and a design to create a region of terror, under which no man can comfortably oppose your opinions? it does, sir — twelve months ago your rod, held up in terror, had some effect, but your bluster about quids and a third party, the nefarious lies and infamous slanders with which your paper has abounded, and the persecutions you have set on foot, has happily brought you and your reign of terror into contempt. Sudden as has been your rise from nothingness and meanness to consequence and opulence, your fall will be more precipitate unless you put a curb to your pride, check your arrogance, correct your insolent behavior; and by a more prudent line of conduct put a stop to the suspicions that are gaining ground with respect to your being a secret Porcupine, an insidious enemy to our republican institutions.
Although a provoked monitor, your old friend is not your enemy; he wishes you had conducted with more prudence; he has a respect for the opinion of his republican friends who think highly of your services, and it is this respect for their opinion which obliges him to expose your real character, with which your own conduct makes it necessary the public should be acquainted, that your denunciations, your sarcasms and reflections may have their due weight only.
A long life of active usefulness, with unimpeachable integrity, no small share of the last thirty years of which has been occupied in public business, has put me above your calumny where I am known; it is merely a hope that you may profit by proof, and a desire that the public mind should be set right respecting your calumnies, that this letter is addressed to you by
Your old friend, MATTHEW LYON.
On the Monongahela River, April 25th, 1805.
P. S. This, when written, was intended to have been published in the Tree of Liberty, at Pittsburg; but the editor and proprietor being absent when I arrived there, occasioned my bringing it to Louisville.
BOSTON, June 17.
Captain Tucker arrived here on Friday last from Gibraltar, informs, that Lord Nelson's fleet passed that place on the 27th April. The above account is direct and authentic, and corresponds with the intelligence given in our last, from Cadiz, received by the way of Plymouth.
Latest from Europe.
The schooner Two Sons, captain Clark, has arrived at Newburyport from Nantes. She left that place on the 18th May and on the 20th was boarded by a British 64 gun ship, and informed, that a fleet of fifteen sail of the line had sailed from England in pursuit of the combined French and Spanish fleet, which was presumed to have gone against Jamaica. Captain Clark also informs that he learned by this vessel, that the Rochefort fleet had been seen a few days previous, steering towards L'Orient.
Captain John Harvey, in the brig Trantula, arrived at Quantine Roads, last evening, from Havanna, informs, that on the 20th inst. in lat. 33. long 75, about ten o'clock P. M. he was brought to, and ordered on board by a French brig of about eighteen guns; on going on board, and after their papers were examined they informed him they bore dispatches from the fleet at the Windward Islands for the fleet that was gone down to New Foundland; they further informed that a few days previous, in company with another French brig, they had fought an English Corvette, and had many men wounded.

coming on deck, captain Harvey heard the groans of the wounded. There was a number of gentlemen in the cabin, who appeared to be prisoners; one of them, but apparently under restraint, inquired the state of the markets at Havana. The last capt. of the privateer, she was steering N. W. by W. not a course for New-Foundland; and he supposes, from her course she was bound to Charleston, probably to land her wounded.
BALTIMORE, June 21. Arrived yesterday, the brig Isabella, in 15 days from Jeremie. Sailed with the fleet, as mentioned yesterday. On the 10th instant, saw two privateers, and lost sight of them till the 14th, when they were again in sight. One of them bore down upon us, being then two miles astern of the ships Neptune and Maria of Philadelphia. The privateers, seeing the armed ships, kept aloof, but had in company a pilot boat schooner, which we took to be the Defiance, captain Hollis, of Baltimore, one of the fleet. In the evening they bore away to the westward, after the brig Comet, of Norfolk, as we supposed, which was then in sight. On the 14th, the powder chest of the Neptune blew up, and killed Mr. Pritchard, the supercargo, wounded the second officer and two other men, and broke the gunner's leg, besides doing further damage. It was not known how the fire commenced. On the 15th, we sprunk a leak, would certainly have lost the vessel had it not been for captain Taylor of the Neptune, and Calvert of the Maria, who sent their carpenters and about 40 men to our assistance.
Also, brig Mary, Driggs, 12 days from Long-Island (Bahamas). Sailed the 19th. Left a schooner of and for Nantucket, loading with salt, name not recollected. Off the Hog's Sties was boarded by a French privateer, who put on board the mate of the sch'r Potomac, Dye, of this port, which was captured between the Mole and Maize. The mate of the Potomac informs us, that he sailed from Hampton Roads under convoy of brig Jane, Kennedy, in company with schooner Medusa, both of which have arrived at Cape François, and sch'r Swallow, Murdock. Parted from the Jane about 6th off the Cape, and proceeded to the Bite in company with the Swallow: the following day was captured by a French privateer. The Swallow escaped and got into the Mole.
Also, brig Neptune, Skinner, 14 days from Barracoa. Sailed 7th instant in company with brig Eleanor, Alder, for Baltimore. Left a pilot-boat schooner belonging to Baltimore; and sch'r Young Lion, Dangerfield, of Alexandria to Jamaica, captured May 31 by a French privateer, cargo discharged. Capt. S. who acted as mate on board the Young Lion, together with her captain, were confined on board the privateer until they were put on board the Neptune and Eleanor: Could get no information of the captured vessels lying there, of which there were 15 or 16. Off Cape Hatteras was boarded by a French privateer, who left them to pursue another vessel, which they brought to in sight. A ship passed the Fort, supposed coast wise.
Arrived, sch'r Nonsuch, Howe, from Aux Cayes and Jeremie. Left at Aux Cayes, 22d May, brig William, Hackiss, for Baltimore, to take the Gulph passage: no other American vessels. The brig Orion, and sch'r Eclipse, would sail from Jacmel about 1st June for Baltimore.
From the log-book of the Nonsuch:— Sailed from Jeremie, 6th inst. in company with the armed ship Neptune, Tawler, and Maria, Calvert, for Philadelphia, having under convoy brig Isabella; the schooners Maryland, Murphy; the Hetty, Stanley (arrivek); Imperial, Everson, and Defiance, Holly, for Baltimore; brig Comet, Shelton, for Norfolk, and sloop Harriet, Oxnard, Portland. On 9th, off Heneaga, fell in with 2 privateers, after viewing us, steered to the S. On 12th the Maryland, Hetty, Imperial, and Defiance, left the convoy. On 13th, saw two schooners to N. on approaching found one of them to be the privateer we had seen on the 9th, the other the Defiance, Hollis, which she had taken. Saw the Comet to W. At 8 P. M. having ranged ahead of the fleet, with a fresh breeze, and in order to regain my station, wore ship for the fleet at 9. At 10, fell in with the privateer between me and the ship, and finding it impossible to regain the ship without running through his fire, I concluded to stand a running fight with him—blowing fresh. made all the sail I could to westward, he came up with us very fast, and commenced his fire, which we returned briskly. At 11 P. M. he thought proper to sheer off; at 12 light he bore down on us, and re-
commenced a bold fire of round; I did not think proper to answer many of them, being short of ammunition, say 30 cartridges, which I reserved for close action, which we commenced with three cheers and Yankee Doodle! having given him a hearty broadside of 9 pound round and cannisters, he tho't proper to sheer off to the southward; we soon lost sight of him; he mounted 1 heavy gun and 4 smaller, with 50 men; the determined bravery of my officers and men, uniformly manifested during the action, merit the greatest praise and thanks. We saw a brig to the eastward, which was the Comet, supposed the privateer chased her.
Also, brig Eleanor, Alder, 15 days from Barracoa. Left a Baltimore sch'r formerly belonging to Norfolk, brought in by the French the day before he sailed.

MONDAY, JUNE 24.
Extract of a letter from New York, dated June 20.
"Schr. Alliance, Ray, 24 days from Falmouth, Jam. The ship Favourite, Mackie, and brig Ohio, Rust, both from New York, had arrived at the north side. The ship Anna, of this port, has been recaptured, and has arrived at Kingston. June 7th, off the Havanna, spoke ship Ann, Murdock, from Falmouth, Jam. for New York. June 14, in lat. 33, 30, long. 77, 30, spoke ship Commerce, out 7 days from Matanzas for New York.
"When the Alliance, left Jamaica, admiral Dacres WITH ELEVEN SAIL OF THE LINE AND SOME FRIGATES WERE AT ANCHOR AT PORT ROYAL, expecting the French fleet from Martinique. Sir John Orde had dispatched a frigate to Kingston, with information of the combined fleets having put to sea from Cadiz."
Extract of another letter from New York, dated June 20.
"Captain Ray, of the schr. Alliance, who arrived this morning in twenty-four days from Falmouth, (Jamaica) informs us that admiral Decres, had arrived with ELEVEN SAIL OF THE LINE, and had stationed his fleet across the harbor of Port Royal. Lord Nelson was hourly expected with a strong reinforcement. Prior to the arrival of the English fleet, the inhabitants of Port Royal were thrown into the utmost consternation. Information had been received of the arrival of the French and Spanish fleets at Martinique, and rumour with her hundred tongues had swelled the combined forces to forty five sail of the line. They expected immediate orders to march to Kingston, and to leave their own port to the ravages of the enemy. The arrival of admiral Decres, however dispelled their fears and renewed their hopes.
"Admiral Cochrane had sailed in the Northumberland of 74 guns, to take command of the windward station.
"The ports of Jamaica continued shut against American vessels.
"Martial law was expected to take place immediately throughout the island.
FROM MARTINIQUE.
"Capt. Lynch, of the schr. Mars, who arrived this morning from Martinique, informs us, that on the 27th of May, there were signals hoisted for another fleet to windward, supposed to be British; and that off Bermuda, he saw two British ships of the line steering S. S. W. under a heavy press of sail.
"Capt. Ray of the Alliance, from Falmouth, left there, brig Ohio, Rust, just arrived from St. Jago de Cuba; brig Ranger, Forrester, for New-York, in 6 or 8 days. The ship Andromache sailed the day before, and the Ann, Murdock, 6 days before. The ship Anna, capt. Johnson, from Savannah, had been taken by a French privateer, retaken by the English, and sent into Kingston."
From a Jamaica paper by the Thomas Gordon, arrived at New-York.
"MONTEGO-BAY, May 18. Last night we received information from Spanish Town that a privy council was held at King's house on Wednesday, when the order of council of the 21st of November last was rescinded; and neutral vessels, with the necessary supplies for this island, were to be admitted as heretofore six months, &c.
"The schooner Commerce has arrived from New-York. The Princes Charlotte arrived on the 11th of May, with the ship Benjamin of New York, for Africa, with slaves. She had been captured by a French
privateer, and carried into bay of Honduras, where she was burnt."
KINGSTON, (J.) May 13.
By the report of the committee appointed at the meeting of the inhabitants on Monday, to inspect the state of the market, it appears that there is now in this city
Two thousand three hundred and twenty-nine barrels of flour; 1030 do. corn meal; 285 tiersces of rice 7430 barrels salted meat, of every description; 1893 do. pickled fish; 146 hogsheads and 20 tiersces of cod fish.
Of staves were found 42,000, and of lumber 320,000 feet, a very great part of the latter consisted of rafter and other heavy timbers; scarcely any pitchpine or common boards are at market.
The foregoing statements, particularly with respect to dry provisions, needs no comment. Estimating the consumption of flour by Kingston, Port-Royal, and Spanish Town, at 500 barrels per week, and we are convinced this is far below the mark, and supposing no supplies will be wanted by government, of which who hall assure us, we are possessed of the means of subsistence for almost five weeks!!
Extract of a letter from a respectable commercial house in Lisbon, to another in Philadelphia, dated May 1.
"Since our last advices the continued and abundant importations of grain from France, the beginning of those from the Mediterranean, the certain advices of considerable purchases in the north of Europe, the occasional supplies from America, and the flattering appearance of our own crop, have altogether had a more sudden and important effect upon our market, than we ever remember to have experienced. Very little more than a month ago we sold flour at fifteen dollars and an half per barrel on board, and wheat rather higher in proportion. The nominal price is now from ten to eleven dollars. In Spain flour which was lately at twenty two dollars, is now unsaleable at fifteen; and we are afraid much money will be lost at your late high prices. Very few of our dealers will now buy at any rate. The case is nearly the same throughout Spain."
By late accounts from St. Jago de Cuba, we learn that piratical cruizers, manned by a motley banditti of Spaniards, Frenchmen, mulattoes and negroes, are daily carrying American vessels into that and other ports, pronouncing each "von bon prize!" The officers (no less savage than their renegado crews) when expostulated with on so flagrant a violation of the law of nations, insolently vociferate "D—n law of nation! we make von bon law ourself for get the "largest—no matter—America have the "gun boat, but no have the corsair for "make fight!" This, it will be acknowledged, is "feeling power and forgetting right," with a witness.

EPIGRAM.
"IF Nature never acts a part in vain, Who (said an Atheist) shall this fact explain? Why in the glow-worm does her power produce Such lavish lustre, for so little use? A plain blunt fellow, who, by chance, stood by, Heard what he said, and made him this reply: "Nature (quoth he) explains her own design: "She meant to mortify all pride like thine, Whene'er an insect's tail such light spread, And left such da-knees in a cockcomb's head."

MR. SNOWDEN,
I, last evening, got a sight of George Summers's reply to my statement submitted to the residents of Fairfax county, &c. from which I observe sundry statements and certificates, &c. I give the public notice, that I shall submit a further statement, in answer to said reply, in a few days; by which they will be enabled to come at a perfect understanding of the truth as respects the premises, and of what credit many of those malicious certificates are entitled to. As to George Summers's statements, I flatter myself they will be pointedly pronounced to be untrue, as far as the nature of the case will admit of. As a good old man once said, I can now say, as respects those volunteers, &c. "Miserable comforters are they all to their friend, and that when the blind lead the blind, they must fall into the ditch together.—You will please insert the above in your paper, and oblige your humble servant,
