CIRCUIT COURT U. STATES.
On Monday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, the Jury, impanelled to try the case of the United States, vs. M c Bright, and others, appeared in court and delivered the following verdict:—
The United States, } Special verdict, Phila. 1 } vs. } May, 1809. M c Bright and others.
And now, to wit, on this first day of May, in the year aforesaid, the jurors sworn, affirmed, and impanelled as aforesaid, upon their oaths and affirmations aforesaid, do find, that on the said 24th March, 1809, in the city of Philadelphia, aforesaid, the defendants did knowingly and wilfully obstruct, resist, and oppose the said John Smith, then and there being an officer of the United States, to wit, the marshal of the district of Pennsylvania, in attempting then and there to serve and execute the said judicial writ of arrest, in the indictment mentioned; and that the said defendants, then and there acted under the orders of the constituted authorities of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in so obstructing, resisting and opposing the said marshal, as aforesaid:—and whether, upon the whole matter, the law is in favor of the U. States or of the defendants, the jurors aforesaid refer to the consideration of the court; and if the court are of opinion that the law is for the U. States, then the jurors aforesaid do find the defendants and every of them guilty—but, if the court are of opinion that the law is for the defendants, then they find the defendants not guilty.
(Signed)
William Sharpswood, Benjamin Thaw, Mathias Corless, John Gallagher, John Phillips, Conrad Seybert, Liberty Brown, John Jennings, John White, junior, Charles Barrington, Thomas Algeo, Geo. A. Wray.
The court decided that this verdict should be entered, and instructed the counsel to be prepared by 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning if they proposed to discuss the point of law: the district attorney declared his readiness, and the counsel for the defendants enquired if the time allowed were not too short. Judge Washington answered that, if the counsel for the defendants would say on Tuesday morning that they were not prepared, the court would extend the time.
Yesterday morning the court met at ten o'clock. The district attorney said, that the discussion had already been so extensive and deliberate, he did not wish to trespass upon the time of the court by any further observations, and therefore as he could take no novel ground, he would submit the point of law to the decision of the court, as contemplated by the verdict.
Mr. Ingersol, counsel for the defendants, also declined entering into any argument.
Mr. Franklin, attorney general of the commonwealth, having read an affidavit to prove that Mathias Corless, one of the jurymen, had clandestinely left the jury room, on the 30th ult. before a verdict had been agreed upon; said, that he would merely submit the facts stated in the affidavit to the court, as he found they did not authorize him to move for a new trial.
So no conversation took place on the subject, between the court, the U. States' attorney and marshal.
Judge Washington then declared that, as the opinion of the court had been already decidedly and maturely formed, it was unnecessary to defer its decision; in accordance, therefore, with the verdict of the jury, he pronounced the defendants guilty, in manner and form as charged in the indictment.
The court then directed the defendants to appear at four o'clock, to await sentence.
At four o'clock, the court met, when Mr. Dallas, district attorney, prayed the court to pronounce its sentence. He prefaced the request, by expressing the great regret which he felt at the circumstances which made it his duty to ask it; he declared that the prosecution would not have been urged had the constituted authorities of Pennsylvania expressed, through its organ, any regret at the part they had taken; but that, as no such opportunity was offered him, he was compelled by his wishes for the integrity of the union, and the safety of the constitution and laws, for the welfare of the community, and by a sense of public duty, superior to all personal feeling, to seek the punishment of the defendants, for an offence, the certainty and tendency of which he was persuaded they would all acknowledge and regret.
Judge Washington addressed the defendants, in a very impressive manner, and represented the nature of the offence they had committed, and the circumstances that would follow a prostration of the civil before the military authority. He regretted, for the honor of the union, and particularly for the honor of Pennsylvania, that the defendants had mistaken their duties, and obeyed a military order to do an unlawful act; and said it was the more inexcusable in Philadelphia, where the means of obtaining legal and political information was at every man's command. He concluded by pronouncing the sentence, as given in our last.
FROM THE TRUE AMERICAN.
In the case of the United States, vs. Michael Bright and others, the Circuit Court decided on the special verdict, that the defendants were Guilty, &c yesterday afternoon, the prisoners being placed at the bar, the district attorney addressed the court, and said, that in compliance with his duty, he called upon the court to pronounce the sentence of the law. This duty the most painful he had ever been called to perform, he would on his own responsibility, have omitted to perform for the present, if the At ty . Gen. of the state of Pennsylvania, on behalf of the constituted authorities of the state, had or would request it. No reply was made by the court for the defendants. Judge Washington then rose and addressed the defendants as follows:
A concluding period has now arrived to the long and deplorable contest, in which you have been, we believe, under mistaken notions of duty, most unfortunate for the character of our common country, and peculiarly of this respectable part of it, engaged. The origin of the controversy is lost sight of in the more important and dangerous consequences which have grown out of it. If the measure of which you unhappily permitted yourselves to be made the instruments, had not been checked in its commencement, it might by its effects and example have swelled into an irresistible torrent, prostrating in its course the liberties, the laws, the happiness and the safety of the nation.
That such was the object, or that this was the melancholy catastrophe either intended or desired, we have not the most distant belief. But such must be the result when arms are opposed to laws, and force is resorted to in resistance to the deliberate and disinterested decrees of the tribunals of justice, or the lawful acts of the other departments of our government. In the members of this court, there exists no other feeling or recollection, than such as the most sincere regrets inspire, that the occurrences we so much deplore have arisen from decisions in which we have, in our respective stations, had a share.
We should be unworthy of the responsible stations in which we are placed, if we suffered any other than public motives connected with a sense of duty to influence our conduct. Our task has been a painful one, but we have endeavored to perform it with impartiality. We reflect with pleasure that every opportunity was offered for discussion, and that this case has been conducted with a greater latitude and range of arguments, than perhaps would have been strictly right on common occasions. Every thing has been done and said which could contribute to a clear understanding of the cases. The decision has been made on the law, a
it arises on the facts found by the jury, too plain and palpable to admit of difficulty or doubt, with the most entire conviction and belief of its rectitude.
It is obvious that you have mistaken a supposed duty which you presumed you owed to the constituted authorities of your particular state, while you were opposing the laws of the U. S. and violating predominant obligations. None more highly appreciate than we do, the military spirit of our fellow-citizens, and the discipline and subordination of our militia. These attributes when required in laudable and necessary efforts for the support of the laws, or for the safety of our country, are highly commendable. But when employed, as yours have been, in measures of resistance to established principles of the constitution and in violation of the peace and good order of the nation, they become destructive in their immediate effects, and widely mischievous in their example. We do not say this reproachfully, being persuaded that you acted under mistaken notions of duty; it becomes us at the same time to express in printed terms our disapprobation. As it has been your lot to be engaged in a measure which, on reflection hereafter, you cannot yourselves approve; it should alleviate any unpleasant consequences you may experience in your situations, that nothing will wipe away the unfortunate stain on our republican systems but submission to the correction of the laws, non vindictive, but exemplary and salutary. If physical force is rendered nerveless by the superior power of the laws, nor need not regard the reproaches nor the predictions of those unfriendly to republican forms of government.
It does not lie with us to enter into those considerations which belong exclusively to another department of the government. Our duty is prescribed and must we obey. Instances in other cases have occurred, wherein the imperative obligations of duty have induced decisions contrary to the wishes and feelings of those who gave them. Your case, and particularly that of the commanding officer, is less susceptible of apology than those alluded to. You were called upon to act in an enlightened city, where the means of information on legal and political subjects are particularly great, and where it was in your power at any moment to have obtained the best advice as to the obligation of the orders you received. If you listened to improper council we can only lament the circumstance.
It is our duty, however unpleasant the exercise of it, to pronounce the following sentences in your several cases, and in fixing the degree of punishment, we have not been inattentive to every circumstance which has been offered in your favor. The triumph of the laws over military force arrayed against them, is sufficient for their objects. The measure of punishment is, in your unfortunate case particularly, of small comparative importance. Example and not severity is dictated by our duty and has been our aim.
The sentiments of the court, are that you, Michael Bright, be imprisoned for the term of three months, and pay a fine of two hundred dollars, to the United States, and that you James Atkinson, William Cole, Charles Westfall, Samuel Wilkens, Abraham Ogden, Daniel Phyle, Charles Hong and John Knipe, be severally imprisoned for the term of one month, and severally pay a fine of fifty dollars to the United States, and stand committed till these sentences are complied with.
The Marshal immediately conducted the prisoners to jail, where they are now confined. All was transacted in peace and tranquility, and to the honor of our city be it mentioned, that the demands of the laws have been satisfied without tumult or riot.
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
FEBRUARY 17.
The order of the day being read, Lord Grenville rose and spoke to the following effect:—
"My Lords, it will be in your lordships recollection, that towards the close of the last session of Parliament, I gave notice of my intention of making a motion similar to the one I am about to propose for the consideration of this House. For this purpose it was, the manufacturers and merchants
affected by the ruinous consequences of your orders in council, were summoned and gave evidence at the bar, which completely and fully proved the impolicy of those measures. But I had reasons to suppose at the time, what was the strongest wish of my heart, that means would then be resorted to, by which the differences between this country and America might be placed in a situation most likely to produce reconciliation. This consideration induced me to relinquish the motion of which I gave notice on the occasion; and when, my lords, I retired from this House, it would have been a consolation to my mind, if what had been then already known in respect to the pernicious effect of these orders, and what has since resulted, had led to the adoption of more just and wiser counsels. On the contrary, we find the same conduct persevered in; his majesty's ministers persist in this blind policy, which renders it necessary for me to bring this subject again under your solemn investigation. It might be found, upon former occasions, that the expediency of this line of conduct towards America was a question of argument: but it has now ceased to be so: no pretext can be set forth to do away those facts which irresistibly prove the increasing calamities growing out of the orders in council. If we revert to the end of that disastrous war which raged between the two countries, and review the proceedings of government in respect to America in 1783, and from that period down to the present administration, every endeavor was made that all disputes might cease, all past prejudices be obliterated, and complete harmony be established between the two countries. The wisdom of conciliating America naturally presented itself; that country was nearly allied to us, and many events might take place to make it one of the most important interests of G. Britain to have America our friend.
And when the late war broke out on the continent, it was not only my own firm conviction, but it was the particular care of Mr. Pitt, to take every step to put an end to all differences which remained unsettled, being certain of the prudence on our part, to use every means of strengthening the bonds of amity between the two nations. I had reason to feel happy, not only in being so disposed, but in having the opportunity of being assisted in this pursuit by the ability of so great a statesman. It was also one of the first considerations, on the parts of myself and colleagues, in the late administration, to hasten the completion of what had been so wisely begun; and, under the management of a noble lord near me, it was confidently hoped, that every prior dispute would then be happily adjusted, and a treaty, disadvantageous to neither, but mutually advantageous to both, was agreed upon between the two countries. Soon after, every engine was set to work, every means was resorted to by those who approve of the present proceedings, to make it believed a treaty had been negotiated, inimical to our mercantile interest. But, my lords, I will venture to say that there was not the smallest part of the treaty alluded to disadvantageous to commerce, but was actually more advantageous than what had since been required on the part of his majesty's ministers. Before the terms of that treaty were known, they were condemned by those who wish to drive the two countries into open hostility. In discussing the present question, the first point and most material feature which I shall first mention, is the statement which has been recently made, relative to the proposal of America for rescinding our orders in council, and reversing the decrees of France. How such a statement should be made from such an authority as the noble Secretary of State, and so contrary to the fact, is to my mind incomprehensible. But, my lords, in the course of this evening, I pledge myself to clear this part of the American conduct from the shadow of a doubt. I will shew you from documents now on your lordship's table, a satisfactory contradiction to this studied misrepresentation. (Hear! Hear! from the ministerial side.) I mean to convey no personal allusion to the noble Secretary, but it was certainly declared that America, in her proposals, exhibited a disposition partial towards France, and hostile towards this country. Here it becomes me, in justice to the character of
the person who presides in the United States, to retract a misstatement, for God forbid I should not do so, and particularly when I complain of the misstatement of others! I did think, from the information I then possessed, his conduct was not unworthy of approbation, in showing a preference to the cause of France. But it was not so; the speech imputed to him was not true, and it was for noble lords opposite to have corrected all mistakes on the subject. My lords, it may well be remembered, when the present administration had succeeded in their desired and favorite object of filling the situations which they now occupy, their first step was to manifest by all possible means, their determination to pursue a line of conduct completely contradictory to that pursued by their predecessors. Happy, my lords, very happy do I feel, that there is no resemblance between their measures and those of their predecessors. I am far from being happy because they have adopted measures so contradictory; but I am happy their predecessors guided themselves by wiser counsels, by principles more just and more conducive to the welfare of these dominions. They have fully evinced to the world their success in this determination; to contrast can be more opposite than the measures produced by the two administrations.
It was our province to conciliate—it has been theirs to irritate—it was ours to smooth over difficulties, and produce a good understanding and harmony between this country and the United States—it has been their study to foment dispute, to inflame by injustice and outrage, and to drive by force that country into open war with ourselves. Their predecessors may feel consolation that the whole of their conduct was different from that of the present ministers. It was different in respect to Ireland, in respect to the Continent, in respect to neutral nations, in respect to domestic policy, in respect to measures of finance, and most of all, in respect to America. It will be unnecessary to have recourse to what has been on former occasions so repeatedly urged upon the present question, and I shall on that account conform myself to those observations, which arise out of the effects produced by the orders of council. But at the same time my conviction is the same; the opinion I before delivered is confirmed by experience, and is more and more strengthened by the accumulation of facts: I am fully convinced the policy of these measures betrays more egregious folly, and more confounded ignorance, than was ever manifested by any set of men, conducting the affairs of government. The avowed object of these orders was declared to be, to counteract the unjust decrees of the ruler of France; I shall not now discuss the impropriety of making such orders, contrary to the laws and statutes of the realm and in open and wanton violation of the sacred laws of nations, but shall next call your lordship's attention to the proposals themselves, made by the United States of America. On the 23d of August last, in consequence of what had previously been communicated on this subject, between the two countries, instructions were given to Mr. Pinkney, the American minister, resident in this country to propose to his Majesty's government, that if the orders in council were rescinded in respect to America, the embargo would be taken off in respect to us; and if the enemy should not repeal their decrees, the embargo would be continued with regard to them. The documents themselves are on the table, and they fully contradict the statement made, so surprisingly made by those in whose possession the documents were at the very time, namely that America, exhibited a favorable disposition towards the government of France, and in making these proposals, had promised more to France, than to Great Britain. But, my lords, it is by no means the case; these documents will enable me to prove the reverse of that position. It was well known to America, if France alone had annulled her decrees, still America would not improve her situation as to the embargo; for if she were to send her numerous merchant vessels to cover the seas, they would eventually fall a sacrifice to the orders in council. Therefore, the early prospect of advantage held out to France, was to this purpose; rescind

your decrees with regard to America, and if your enemy continue their orders we shall eventually be forced into a contest with them. The proposal to Great Britain was this; repeal your orders in council as they regard America, and we will immediately take off the embargo with regard to you, and if your enemy continue his decrees, we shall eventually be forced into a contest with him, and probably it may lead to an alliance with you, for the purpose of prosecuting that cause in which you are now engaged with France. (Here his Lordship read from the printed papers, the message of the President to the Congress, the instructions sent to Mr. Armstrong, in Paris, and to Mr. Pinkney, London, together with the different communications made at a subsequent period on the nature of these proposals, all which confirmed the statement of his Lordship; that particularly in respect to the declaration of hostility, the expressions made use of were the same in substance, and almost the same in words.) There cannot be the smallest doubt but there is a studied similarity in the proposals to both, for the purpose of preventing any partiality being manifested towards either. But how it should come to pass that such a declaration should be made in this House, so inconsistent with the documents upon your Lordship's table, appears to me more unaccountable when I call your attention to a letter written by Mr. Canning, on the subjects of these proposals, wherein he takes upon him to give his opinion to the American minister on this question & to communicate the precise way to which he understood the proposals to have been made. ("What page in the printed papers?" From the ministerial side.)—No page my Lords; it is not from the printed papers I produce this letter, but from an American newspaper. The noble Lords opposite after every communication moved for, after so many declarations of their readiness to grant the fullest information have not thought proper to produce this letter ; why they omitted so doing remains a mystery, & requires explanation. This letter proposes, for the sake of satisfying the American minister, and also for the sake of preventing any misapprehension, to state in what sense these proposals were understood by his majesty's ministers. The letter afterwards proceeds to say, that it was fully understood, that if the proposals were agreed to on the part of the king's government, America would eventually arm her merchantmen in the cause of this country against the government of France. (His Lordship here read that passage from Canning's letter. Hear! Hear! ) This passage is a direct contradiction of the statement gone abroad from this House, and I should feel glad, not in the common acceptance of such expressions but from the bottom of my heart, if the noble Secretary can so far justify that statement, by contradicting the truth of this production, and shewing it to be an American forgery. Still it is not only this letter, but the whole of the documents, fully demonstrate the justice, the fairness and equality of these proposals to both the belligerent powers. His majesty's ministers returned an answer to these overtures from America, which reflects disgrace on their conduct.—It is not an answer consistent with the decorum or the tenor of diplomatic language; but, for the first time, deviating from the usage of the past times, it contains that irony and sarcasm, which ought never to be employed on these occasions, which is highly disrespectful to the nation we address, and can produce no effect but that of wounding the most tender feeling of our ally. America above all other nations, so lately risen into notice, will feel jealous of her independence, and she has the same right to return the same language she received from this country. The answer of ministers suggested to America that his majesty's government was totally indifferent as to the embargo being continued or taken off; it did not affect this country; but they wished to extend their benevolence beyond the limits of the subjects of this realm, and take some thought for the people of the United States, and expressed a desire to relieve them from the injurious consequences of the embargo. What would noble Lords opposite have said, if any observation of irony and sarcasm had been made towards this country in a similar manner? If the Americans had said we have no choice ourselves, whether the orders in council be repealed or not, we are anxious only on account of our distressed manufacturers in Lancashire, no doubt existed of the feeling, with which such a declaration would have been received in this kingdom. When this answer was read to the members of the Assembly there was a general cry from all that it should be read again; after which was a great and tumultuous
burst of indignation against the unworthy and disrespectful language of the communication—( Hear! Hear! Hear! ) The answer returned by ministers, my Lords has a tendency to increase the degree of credit which has been attached to a notion generally spread in America that it is the design of this country to seize any opportunity offered of bringing back the commerce of the United States to its original situation, and to render it nothing more than a colonial monopoly of Great Britain . The very measure itself, those orders in council have the same tendency to injure the feelings of America. It was urged in their behalf that they were imposed for the purpose of counteracting the unjust decrees of France; and a doctrine is laid down and may be seen amongst the printed papers, that, because France had been guilty of gross injustice, we are at liberty to commit similar injustice to third powers, & if they have reason to complain, their complaint ought to be alleged against that nation which first obliged us to adopt the same measures to counteract the evils of such injustice.—But where will this doctrine terminate? What will it lead you to? We all condemn the measures lately adopted by the ruler of France; he has not only violated the laws of nations, but he has violated the sacred principles and laws of nature. But upon the doctrine of the orders in council, we might say, because Bonaparte has placed his brother Joseph on the throne of Spain, to counteract his plans, we will act in a similar manner towards the Sicilians, and towards Sweden. It is a novel doctrine, first promulgated at Copenhagen, and which sets at defiance every thing held sacred among mankind. Further, my Lords, he reasons first alleged for the issuing of the whimsical, theoretical, and absurd maxims of policy, no longer exist. It was stated that America had acquiesced in the decrees of our enemy; she tells you she never did, and she tells you more, for whatever doubt may have been entertained, she was ready last August to convince you, it was her intention not to acquiesce in the decrees of France, but to oppose them to the utmost of her power—even to do so at the hazard of war. Would not this proceeding have been the most powerful one this country could have entertained for the purpose of counteracting the decrees of Bonaparte? There is not a single object, for which it was professed in the outset these orders were made, which will not vanish by agreeing to the proposal from America. I am justly afraid his majesty's ministers will not give due consideration to the present question, for their eyes are jaundiced, and their sight is obstructed by clouds of prejudice. Let them consider the vast advantages which have been obtained from this boasted measure of wisdom. It appears that the whole amount of revenue gained from these orders in council, is the mighty sum of 31,000 l. and a great proportion of it from the seizure of American vessels on the seas; which have been, violently and contrary to all neutral rights, brought into our harbors! The injurious result to this country has been alarming. Liverpool has felt it most severely; from the account on the table it appears your exports for two years prior to the last, were, upon an average, 48 millions, but during the last year they diminished to 22 millions. There is also, in respect to imports, in the same manner, a diminution of six millions, and this statement does not include Scotland and Ireland, therefore to speak considerably within the bounds of moderation, there has been a decrease in the commerce of your country, effected by these orders in council, of fourteen millions for the last year. In one district, the year preceding these orders, there were 87 cotton mills employed, the year after 42 only. The north of Ireland is engaged in the linen manufacture, and fax-seed is of the last importance to nearly a million of people—they generally used every year 45,000 hogheads, and 35,000 of them were imported from America. What will be the situation of these poor people, if no supply should arrive before May? I am unwilling to mention my apprehensions on that subject. This flaxseed was two or three pounds a quarter, but now it has risen to the exorbitant price of 24 s. or 26 s. per quarter.—With regard to exports, that of cotton was about four millions, so was the export of woollens annually; those have been reduced to one half. Upwards of thirty thousand manufacturers have been driven from their employment, which sufficiently demonstrates the pernicious consequence of these unjust measures.—Still ministers are determined to persist and to try a fatal experiment upon the existence of the country. The enemy has declared he will ruin our commerce, and they resolve, in point of honor, that he shall carry his measures into full effect, and then
we shall enjoy the pleasure of this experiment, which is to find out whether he can accomplish our destruction. They will admit of no remedy, no alleviation of circumstances; a wound is inflicted, they are determined to have no aid of the faculty; for the purpose of trying, although the life of a patient is at stake, whether the wound will get well of itself.—It is a subject of the most serious moment to the interests of this country; at this eventful crisis, that we should cultivate the friendship of America, and thereby avert, if possible, the blow which has been aimed by the greatest enemy England ever encountered, against our very existence as a nation. Our West India Colonies must immediately feel all the consequences of our going to war with America, into which both countries are studiously driven by those who conduct the affairs of his majesty's government. His Lordship made several observations on the conduct of ministers, in respect to the Chesapeake affair, which still remains in suspense, and on their first insisting it should be settled separately, but afterwards insisting it should be considered conjointly with the non-intercourse act, which exhibited a disposition on their part to increase the flame of discord and hasten the declaration of war. He disavowed the least intention to give up the slightest claim we held to our maritime rights; for great as the present calamities were, they ought all to be endured, rather than to make such a sacrifice. His Lordship, after one of the most able and eloquent speeches we ever heard, to which the limits of our paper prevent our doing justice, concluded by moving, &c.
Boston, May 1.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
On Saturday evening arrived at this port, the British ship Dykes, captain Hutchinson, 40 days from Liverpool, bringing London papers to March 18.
EXTRACTS.
MARCH 13. The Gazette of Saturday contains a notification from Mr. Secretary Canning to the ministers of neutral powers resident at this court, that his majesty has judged it expedient to establish a most rigorous blockade of the Isles of Mauritius and Bourbon.
Private letters from Holland report, that according to a secret article of the recent treaty between G. Britain and Turkey, the Porte is to join with Austria in the war against France, and G. Britain is to furnish the Turkish Government with arms and ammunition at Malta or the Morea. This intelligence, it is said, comes from Malta.
MARCH 16.—The resistance made by Saragossa will be transmitted to posterity as an illustrious proof of what can be achieved by men of real patriotism and invincible spirit. In its fall and expiring struggle we recognise every characteristic which distinguishes a gallant and loyal people, contending for the independence and happiness of their native soil. A resistance like this from an open town, may be classed among the extraordinary events, which have amazed mankind since the first revolutionary explosion in France. The loss of the inhabitants is stated at 20,000, exclusive of 17,000 prisoners, and 12,000 sick and wounded. The victorious army must of course have experienced very considerable loss.
After the capture of Saragossa, the next undertakings of the French were to be the siege of Valencia, and an attack upon Andalusia. King Joseph was to conduct this latter enterprize in person. A Paris paper announces, that before the end of March the insurrection was to be finally at an end.
Portugal is, we fear, long before this time in the enemy's possession. All resistance in that quarter must have been fruitless, against the superior force destined to enter it.
This morning arrived a mail from Gotterburgh, with intelligence to the 7th inst. The king of Sweden seems unalterable in his determination to prosecute the war.
STOCKHOLM, MARCH 6.
It was announced at 'Change publicly on Saturday last, that the treaty of commerce between England and this country had been signed, and that this place was to become a free port.
The king's intended tour has been postponed for the present.
MARCH 13.—Adm Lord Gambier arrived off Rochefort on the 7th inst. with the Caledonia, Tonnant, Illustrious, Bellona, and several frigates and sloops. On the day following the Resolution joined company. The line of battle ship which was driven on shore, is lying on the shoal with all her masts gone; and there is not the least probability of getting her off. One of the frigates that went on shore is got off, and is refitting. The French frigates L'Italienne, La Calypso, and Le Furieux, are totally destroyed.
Letters from Holland of a later date than the papers that have arrived, mention a report of hostilities having
already been commenced by France. The result, however, of this first movement, and the place where hostilities commenced are not mentioned. These letters add, that the politics of Russia have experienced a change unfavorable to France, and that Prussia is making all the preparations she can to assist Austria.
The House of Commons came to two more divisions last night, upon the subject of the charges against the Duke of York.
The first division was on Sir T. Turton's amendment, which was rejected by a majority of 199.
The second division was on Mr. Percival's second resolution of acquitting the duke of personal corruption or connivance. This resolution was carried by a majority of EIGHTY TWO. The number of members who divided on this second resolution was greater than that which divided on Sir Thomas Turton's amendment. Of 474 members present, 196 divided against the resolution of acquittal—a proportion less than two to three. The discussion, however, is not yet finished. Mr. Bragge Bathurst moves his resolution on Monday, which is in substance, "that the House had observed with the deepest regret that there had existed a connection the most immoral and unbecoming; and that it had given rise to an interference in official matters, which had a tendency to give the color of authority to transactions the most criminal."
There were reports at the House of Commons last night, that as soon as the second resolution of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was disposed of, his royal highness would resign. We do not believe it. Besides, the Chancellor hinted that after the resolution was disposed of, he meant to propose an address for continuing the duke in the command of the army.
The escape of the fleet which had been so long weather bound, at Oporto, and which crossed the Bar on the 23d ult. is a matter of consolation, considering the menaced condition of that country. The property on board is estimated at the value of 400,000 l. and insurances have been done at Lloyd's to that amount. There are from 8 to 10,000 pipes of wine in the fleet.
Two British officers who escaped from France, and have arrived at Dover in an open boat, bring intelligence of Austria having declared war against France.
It is rumored that the duke of York is to resign the command of the army, and that the earl of Harrington is to succeed him.

MONDAY, MAY 8.
To the Editors of the National Intelligencer.
Having long since retired from the bustle of the world, after having shared its cares and duties, I have been for many years an attentive observer of passing events, and have endeavored to form an honest judgment of the things around me. I am certainly not exempt from patriotism. I will admit that I love my country better than any other, because it is my country; but I am, notwithstanding, sincerely solicitous for the general welfare of mankind. Thus qualified to pronounce on the actions of others, I offer you my opinions, which will be expressed with the same freedom with which they are conceived. Do with them as you please. Even should the severity of criticism consign them to the flames, you will not by so doing make an old man your enemy, who allows as much purity to the motives of others as he claims for his own.
In my animadversions you will find little of party, and still less of its asperity. Not that I am destitute of decided convictions; but because I am persuaded that reason, and not denunciation, should be the grand instrument of reform, and because I am sick, to disgust, of the low ribaldry and profligate disregard of truth that disgraces too many of our presses.
We want, sir, in my opinion, a correct NATIONAL PRIDE, founded not on a vague or ideal sense of our own personal importance, but on the distinctive features which characterise our situation, our habits, our modes of thinking, and our institutions. The want of this sentiment is at the bottom of many of the greatest evils that have befallen us. It makes us the sport of every gale of faction or political or literary prejudice that passes the Atlantic. A just pride is the pedestal of all virtue and greatness. It makes us rely on ourselves, and by convincing us of the value of such a reliance it inspires us with dignity of character, with conscious worth, with an independent spirit too proud to solicit favors, with a knowledge of our powers, with a constant and active inducement to their improvement, and with the great talent of adapting the means we possess to rational ends. It makes man a practical, instead of a visionary being; the nervous arm is soon instructed to wield with skill the implements of industry, and the mind, by discerning the practical uses to which its powers can be applied, ardently and diligently to cultivate them.
It is high time for us to think and act for ourselves; to disclaim all foreign attachments; to break the chains that bind us to the car of Europe. This will never be accomplished, until we think better of ourselves, and less of others; until, in short, we adopt a national character.
That our condition and character are totally different from that of any nation of the old world scarcely needs illustration. Our prosperity is unrivalled, and it arises from causes, which, so far from being the same with those which have decided the condition of other nations, are, in most important respects, directly the reverse. The representative principle of our government is a new feature never before carried into practical operation. The freedom of pursuit, and the religious toleration, guaranteed by it, are equally peculiar to ourselves. The cheapness of lands, and the actual cultivation and proprietorship of the soil being united in the same person, connected with this class of the community greatly exceeding the aggregate of all the rest, together with the abolition of the right of primo-geniture, have all conspired to cast out lot in a new mold. These are the great causes of our prosperity, causes which have no where else existed, and which, unless perverted, must give us a national character as different from that which prevails in the old world as light is from darkness. There the national character is either founded on prejudice, or on some fugitive circumstance; such as the birth and exploits of a great man; the rise of particular arts; the cultivation of trade or the mechanic arts. Here it ought to be founded on the glorious principles which are equally interwoven with the birth of our national existence and our future progress to greatness, principles which leave the whole field of mental and corporeal exertion open, and insure the largest harvest to him who the most successfully cultivates it.
The fruits of such a national character would be invaluable.
1. It would lead us to a just appreciation of the principles of foreign governments, and generally to their rejection and detestation. We should cease to be harassed with precedents that have no application, and with authorities, as little founded in the reason

of things as applicable to our situation. Our laws would be purified from the jargon of a Gothic age. Speaking the plain language of common sense, they would be apprehended with ease, and construed without difficulty.
2. We should cease to be seduced by the false lights of history, which, rarely furnishing us with circumstances analogous to our own, would rather offer us beacons to avoid, than examples to follow.
3. We should reject the baubles and fashions of Europe, and valuing ourselves on the simplicity of our attire, care more for our own comfort and self-respect, than for the gaudy trappings of slaves. We should soon find that a rational being in proportion to the cultivation of his mind rejects the tirol of dress, furniture and equipage.
4. No longer aping the follies of a corrupt state of society, we should practice the golden virtues of simplicity, frugality and temperance, the parents of industry, of independence, of domestic happiness, and personal respectability.
5. We should learn to estimate every thing domestic as well as foreign, according to its true value, neither appreciating the former, or reducing the latter beyond its real worth.
6. New activity would be given to the arts and sciences; our theatres would no longer be disgraced by the vicious and dangerous exhibitions of manners and characters, which, however intrinsically contemptible, are irradiated by talent, and thus rendered the objects of admiration instead of disgust.
7. History would be soon cast in a new mould, & we should contemplate past events in their true lights. The characters of kings and heroes would be seen in their genuine colors, and the false idolatry imbibed in our infancy for mock majesty and military glory would fade away before the majesty of truth.
We have the pleasure of communicating to the public, at the instance of General Turreau, the Minister Plenipotentiary of France, the following official document relative to a subject interesting to science and humanity. It is particularly worthy of the notice of such physicians in this country, as have written or contemplated writing, on the nature of the CROUP.
(Translation.)
MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR.
The Minister of the Interior, Comte de l'Empire , having considered the notice decreed on the 21st July, 1807, for the competition opened by order of his Majesty the Emperor and King on the subject of the disorder known under the name of the CROUP; after having consulted the Medical College at Paris—decrees as follows:
ART. 1. The time fixed on the 1st January, 1809, for the competition upon the subject of the CROUP, is prolonged till the 31st July in this year.
ART. 2. Those physicians who have already addressed their treatises to the French Minister, may withdraw them, if they think proper, for revision. They need only note the time of sending memoirs and the motto or device with which they are prefaced or headed as a distinctive mark.

QUEM DEUS VULT PERDERE PRIUS DEMENTAT.
Speaking of the late change in the conduct of the British ministry towards our country, and of the consequent change in our situation, the N. Y. Daily Advertiser has the following remarks:—
"Let the people remember that it is owing to the determined and persevering opposition of the Federal party to the ruinous system of Bonaparte's plan of commercial restriction that we are rescued from distress, infamy and danger and again placed in prosperity, happiness and safety. The dawn of returning reason from the infatuating spell of democratic madness, is a happy presage of the prevalence of Washington principles for the future. Excluded by demagogues whose only object was to keep in power and office by every species of intrigue and corruption, the people have seen the monster democracy in all its horrid deformity for a course of eight years." &c. &c. &c.

ANECDOTES OF LORD CHATHAM.
A country friend of Sir Robert Walpole's hearing Mr. Pitt (who was then but a Cornet and had just got into the House) speaking with great elocution upon some public topic, told the minister the same day at his table, that he thought it would be worth his while to make that young man a captain. "My dear sir," says Sir Robert, "to let you see how much I think with you, make him my friend, and I'll give him a regiment."
Lord Chatham had great knowledge of the character of men, and could apply himself with great dexterity even to their foibles , when proper occasions demanded.
When he was rather forced upon the late king as his minister, by the unanimous voice of the people, he found it necessary to recover the king's temper by some little exterior mark of respect. An occasion soon presented itself, which was to bring his majesty the news of a victory.—His Lordship, however, was so ill of the gout that when he was led to the closet door he could not stand. The king seeing this, called for a stool. "No, sire," says Mr. Pitt, "it is not my duty to sit in your presence; but though I can't stand, I can kneel;" and in that position read the dispatches. The king was so pleased with the manner of his behaviour, and the news, that he spoke ever afterwards of Mr. Pitt, with great friendship. His general phrase was, "I like that Pitt—he's an honest man—I understand all he says."
Another instance of Mr. Pitt's personal attention to the king, was upon accepting the seals—receiving them with great marks of deference and respect. The late Chase Price used to say jocosely upon this occasion—"That he bowed so low, you could see the tip of his hooked nose between his legs."
When the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Pitt were joint Secretaries, the former loved a warm room, & the latter, from the constant fever of his gout, could not bear it. This often teazed the duke, who was obliged to hold conferences with Mr. Pitt at his own house. One cold morning when Mr. Pitt was confined to his bed with the gout the duke begged hard for a fire in the room. "I can't possibly bear it" replied Mr. Pitt—"Why then you can spare me a blanket," says the duke (snatching a counterpane that lay at the feet of the bed, and wrapping it round him.) "as I find myself so cold, that without this covering I'm afraid my words will freeze before they reach you."
He despised all kind of what is called puffing so much, that he took no notice of those able pens who voluntarily praised his administration. Owen Ruffhead wrote about 60 numbers of a paper, called "The Contest," in favor of his administration, and yet he had never the curiosity to enquire the name of the author, or ever so much as saw him. He never likewise read any of the debates of the House of Commons (though his own speeches made so considerable a part in them) till the year 1767, when he bought them, as he said, to amuse himself in a fit of the gout.
'Twas Lord Chatham that appointed Gen. Wolf to the command at Quebec though contrary to the wishes of the Minister of War, and even to the appointment of the king. "I know," says he, "that man will do his business properly, without sheltering himself under forms or trifling expediences,—he is young and vigorous too, and will not be so subject to personal attentions as older officers." [Lord Chatham's general maxim upon this and similar occasions was that ministers should look out men for officers, not officers for men.]
Two of the leading features of lord Chatham's character were promptness and decision. When minister, he wanted a great number of transports to be got ready directly for service, which lord Anson, the first lord of the admiralty, said was impossible. "Come, come," says lord Chatham, "I'll shew you the possibility of it directly:—There's a large fleet of colliers just arrived; throw the coals into the Thames, and put the soldiers aboard directly—the service of government must not stand still for a paltry expence."
At another time he received some dispatches which required a speedy answer, whilst he was racked with the gout. The moment he read them, forgetting his pain, he sprung out of bed, and called for pen, ink, and paper. "My dear," says lady Chatham, "you'll kill yourself by these means." And suppose I do, madam, what's my life in comparison with the millions which may be lost through my neglect."
In case of a sudden emergency, lord Chatham wanted to consult the commander in chief and first lord of the admiralty (Lord Ligonier and Lord Anson,) and being informed by the messenger that neither of them were
at home, he ordered him to go, alternately, to a certain well-known bagnio and to White's Coffee House; and "Do you hear," says he to the messenger, "take no excuses; but bring the first away in his night cap, and the other with the cards in his hand."
He once promised to shew some foreign noblemen a remarkable piece of water which was forming at a country house of his, by a certain day. Capability Browne was his projector on this occasion, who told him it could not be done at that time even if one hundred men worked day and night. "Why then," says his lordship, "put two hundred men, and let them work by torch-light." The business was effected.
Henry Lord Holland, the rival and political antagonist of Mr. Pitt for many years, and who, from long habits of thorough faced business, it was difficult to discompose, had frequently to feel the force of Mr. Pitt's opposition. One day the former coming from the House so vexed and fatigued he could not eat his dinner, Lady Holland asked him what was the matter? When, without answering the question, he replied, from the fulness of his sufferings, "As for his talking, though this is often pointed and severe, I don't much mind that; but his eye—that d—d eye so scouls me, that he constantly gives me a pain in my back."
Mr. Pitt's acquaintance with the present Lord Camden arose through the recommendation of Lord Northington. Mr. Pitt, when Secretary of State, spoke to Lord N. to get him a young man of sound knowledge in the law, whose practice was not very extensive, and he would make his occasional attendance at the office worth his while; "for," says he, "I want a person of legal knowledge about me, that we should at least act constitutionally."—Lord North recommended Mr. Pratt, and the congeniality of their minds afterwards produced a friendship which brought Mr. Pratt to the honors he so justly enjoys, and which still continues with unabated affection in the two families.
Lord Chatham being asked his opinion of Cromwell at Lord Rockingham's table, he gave the following short, but forcible character of him: "He was a saint-like thief, who under the cloak of liberty committed a burglary on the Constitution, murdered his royal master to get possession of his diadem, and stole from the public their title to freedom."
The undersigned, conceives it his duty to make known to the citizens of the district of Hamilton, that, in consequence of the impaired state of his health, he finds it necessary to decline being considered a candidate for the honor of their suffrages, at the ensuing Congressional Election; and he embraces the present occasion to tender his fellow-citizens his most sincere and warm acknowledgments, for the repeated favors they have been pleased to confer upon him; and to assure them, that whilst he has been honored with their confidence, it has been his constant endeavor to discharge the trust reposed in him, in such manner, as, he believed, best calculated to secure the rights and liberties of the people, to promote their interests, & maintain the honor of the nation.

New York, May 3. We learn from the Mary, from St. Bartholomews, that there were, at the Saints, near Gaudaloupe, three French ships of the line, and 4 frigates, having on board 1,500 troops, blockaded by four British sail of the line, and five frigates. In addition to this force, a reinforcement of 4 sail of the line and 3,000 troops, were hourly expected from Barbadoes, when it was determined to take the Island called the Saints, as well as the French fleet blockaded at that place.
We further learn that the British brig of war Netley, in lat. 19, 45, long. 16, was chased by a French man of war, belonging to a fleet of 13 sail, which from the course they were steering, must have been bound to the West Indies.
A letter from St. Croix, of the 9th of April, to one of the first commercial houses in this city, states, that the British had already got possession
of an important height at the Saints, where it was in their power to destroy the French fleet at that place.
In a few days, we shall probably have some interesting news relative to these fleets.
We further learn by the Lavinia, in 17 days from St. Barts, that Admiral Cochrane, was blockading Gaudaloupe, and that a large force from Martinique, Barbadoes, &c. had sailed to join him, in order to attack that island.
We have a letter from Capt. Mark Lynch of the 13th ult. stating, that a number of French armed vessels and corvettes from France, had arrived at Martinique after the capture of that place, and were, of course, made prizes.
There was a report at Havanna that an insurrection had broken out at Jamaica among the blacks but, that the ringleaders, having been timely discovered, & apprehended with arms in their possession, to the number of about 100, were put to death.
Charleston, April 27.
The Hon. PAUL HAMILTON, Secretary of the Navy of the United States, sailed yesterday in the ship Caroline, captain Serrell, for Philadelphia, from whence he will proceed to the seat of government.

"Tricks of trade."—A report was in circulation on Saturday, that Bonaparte had opened the French ports for the exportation of grain to England. There is not a single scrip in our papers to sanction it. In vain. It had no effect here on the price of flour. The knowing ones were not thus to be taken in.
As flour suffers in the heat of our climate, it is a great benefit to be permitted to load our vessels with it at once—for British ports. Mr. Smith's letter has raised it at least a dollar per barrel—Fine tobaccos have risen at least a dollar per hundred—Coarse in proportion.

New York, May 4.
LATEST NEWS FROM LISBON Captain Bajer, who arrived at this port yesterday from Lisbon, which place he left the 27th March, informed us, that the French army had not got possession of that place, but were in the neighborhood. The merchants were making preparations to get off as fast as possible—that the British & Portuguese troops, had taken all the guns from the batteries in Lisbon on board the British fleet, which consisted of three sail of the line and 5 frigates. We further learn, that the French army had taken Oporto.
Baltimore, May 6.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND. By the Temperance, 42 days from Liverpool, the Editor of the Federal Gazette has received files of London papers and Liverpool papers to the evening of the twenty-third of March inclusive, several days later than former accounts. The most important items follow. It appears, from a hasty perusal of our files, that great activity pervades the hostile courts and armies of Europe. Indeed, figuratively, the whole continent is in a state of fusion. Sweden is in rebellion; war raging through Saxony, Austria, Italy and Portugal.
With all his characteristic rapidity, Napoleon could not prevent the Austrians from strengthening their own cause and confidence, by obtaining the first victory. The London papers state, that the French were beaten in their designs near Trieste, and the Austrian van has penetrated beyond the Bavarian troops, cutting them off from the French grand army.
But, without the aid of Russia, Austria has slender hope. We can but shudder while anticipating the murder of the people, the sacking of her cities and the conflagration of her temples!
London, March 20.
We have seldom had to announce more important news than we have to-day, both foreign and domestic. The Duke of York has resigned. On Saturday morning his royal highness went to Windsor, and tendered to his royal father, his resignation. It is said to have been tendered in the form of a letter to his majesty, containing the reasons which had directed his royal highness to take that step, and to take it at the present moment. His majesty was graciously pleased to accept his resignation, and the Earl of Chatham, or as others say, Sir David Dundas, is appointed to succeed him. But this arrangement, we trust, will soon give way to a measure by which the army shall
be managed by a board, as the navy has been with so much advantage to the public service.
We rejoice sincerely in the event, which indeed may be considered as a great triumph gained by the constitution of the country. The Duke of York has taken a very proper and judicious course, and no further proceedings we should suppose, at least we should hope, will take place in the House of Commons.
(Courier.)
ARRIVAL OF A FLAG OF TRUCE.
A flag of truce arrived at Dover on Saturday from Boulogne, with dispatches for transport office, which were immediately forwarded to London.—The vessel was ordered to sea as soon as she had delivered her dispatches, and returned to Boulogne. The master of the vessel says, that the expectations in France of the peace with this country are very feeble. The renewal of war upon the continent has thrown a great gloom over the public mind.
The dispatches are said to relate to an exchange of prisoners.
INSURRECTION IN SWEDEN.
Dispatches have been received from the Baltic, which, we grieve to state, give an account of an insurrection having broken out in Sweden, tending to revolution. Several thousands have risen in the province of Warmland, and were on the march from Calisund to Stockholm, to compel the king to call a Diet. They had issued a proclamation complaining of the war, taxes, &c. requiring a change of measures.
The emperor of Russia has determined to remain neutral; a determination which has given much offence to Bonaparte, who filled Europe with such boasting assurances that the Emperor Alexander was to co-operate with him with his whole force in any project, whether for peace or war.
(Further details of this news will be given in our next. Palafax is certainly dead. A cessation of the proceedings in the British House of Commons in relation to the Duke of York has taken place.)
