WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6.
THE CASE OF MIRANDA.
Party malignity will not permit the circumstances attending this case to take their natural course. It is deemed too precious an occasion for the gratification of personal or political pique to pass unimproved. Emboldened by an unexpected result it has the temerity to hope that an impression favorable to its views may be made on the public mind as to the alleged agency of the executive in the expedition of Miranda. With this view assertion is piled upon assertion that the administration countenanced this expedition, and by their countenance induced Messrs. Smith and Ogden, and their subordinate agents, to take a part in it. It is alleged, that as soon as the administration feared the influence of this conduct on their popularity, they instantly changed their course, hypocritically disavowed all participation in the expedition, and resolved on sacrificing Smith and Ogden, to establish their innocence. Not satisfied with this darling libel on the virtue of men raised by their country to the highest places in its power to confer, an effort is made to excite the sympathy of the public with regard to the fate of the unfortunate men in captivity, and their lives, already forfeited in the imagination of these libellers, is laid to the account of the administration. Such is the atrocity of the motives ascribed to them; and the public indignation and abhorrence are invoked on their heads. Be it so. Be the appeal to the nation. If they have not already decided, let them now decide, with inflexible justice.
But when the nation is thus called on to pronounce its judgment, let it be reflected that there are two parties, the accuser as well as the accused, and that if the accusations are not supported, they will recoil on those who have made them. Let it be remembered that he who accuses a virtuous man of crimes of which he does not believe him guilty, is a calumniator who merits and will receive the public scorn and detestation.
Nor let it be deemed extraordinary if the strong sentiment of national confidence, which upholds the existing administration, while it is ready to yield to every suggestion of vigilance that republican jealousy can require, should awaken the liveliest abhorrence of allegations of so atrocious a nature which shall on examination be found groundless, and should inflict the punishment of detestation on those who propagate them. The whole nation is interested in the honor of those to whom they have confided their highest interests, and they will, they ought signal to punish the men who basely traduce their characters. Let those then who are now wielding the national indignation against the administration, beware lest it overwhelm themselves.
The grounds on which it is attempted to establish the participation of the executive government in the expedition are these:
No golden visions float before their eyes. They see things as they are—and when such assertions are made they demand proofs. They will not be satisfied with the declarations of interested men who consider the establishment of their innocence as involved in the guilt of the government. It was extremely easy for Miranda, or Ogden or Smith, to make up a plausible tale. But where are the proofs of its truth?
No proofs whatever, derived from an impartial and disinterested source, have been adduced of the participation of the administration. We venture to affirm that none can be adduced, and we challenge the libellers of the administration to produce them.
But, if the truth of the story set up by Smith and Ogden be admitted, what does it prove? That the President and Secretary of State gave Miranda a hospitable reception, permitted him to open himself to them on his plan of revolutionising the Spanish possessions in South America, and declared themselves friendly to such a measure, but qualified the intimation with the declaration that the "government could afford neither succour nor aid to the enterprise in which he was engaged." Other equivalent expressions are said to have fallen from the Secretary, which may all be comprised in that stated in Smith's deposition, that the government had no objection to any citizens engaging "in such an enterprise, provided they did not thereby infringe any of the laws of the U. S."
What then are we to infer from this statement, admitting it, for argument sake, to be correct. In the first place that the government felt a laudable interest in collecting all the information it could respecting the possessions of a nation far from friendly to us, and with whom we might at no distant period be engaged in war. This was not censurable; but it would have been censurable to have declined it.
Secondly, that the President and Secretary avowed their speculative opinions in favor of the emancipation of the provinces of Spain. Is there a diversity of opinion on this point in the U. S.? But that, thirdly, as soon as Miranda spoke of their active aid towards the accomplishment of his scheme, he was told they "could afford neither succour nor aid to the enterprise in which he was engaged"—"that the merchants would advance money whenever they became satisfied that they had an interest in doing so"—"that they could not give him any public aid or countenance, but that they had no objection that any individual citizens of the U. S. should engage in such an enterprise, provided they did not thereby infringe any of the laws of the U. S."
Which the conviction shall be had, so as that such fine shall not exceed 5000 dollars, nor the term of imprisonment be more than three years." The infraction of this statute then consists not in entertaining particular motives or forming particular plans, but in committing certain acts. Whatever knowledge the Executive might have had of the motives of Miranda, it was not their duty to take any legal steps against him, they could not legally take them, until those motives were displayed in his actions. As soon as they were apprised of the course he had taken, the most efficient measures were taken, the only legal measures in their power to take—thus discharging every duty required by law, and avoiding the commission of every act not legally authorized.
The whole of these remarks, it will be observed, have been made on the admission that the statement of Smith and Ogden is correct. But nothing is less probable. Their statement is a chain of assertions made by interested and disappointed men, who may be dupes themselves, or who may wish to make dupes of others. To their statement we again oppose the following, and we have no hesitation in declaring our conviction that it is entitled to implicit belief.
Miranda spoke to the President and Secretary generally of his views. In so doing he did not specify, with any precision, the time when, or the means with which he contemplated their being carried into effect. He left those with whom he conversed totally at a loss to determine whether he intended to fit out an expedition, or merely to export articles contraband of war, which is not prohibited by our laws, and which only subjects the exporter to the risque of their seizure on the high seas.
In the next place the charge of participation on the part of the government is maintained from the declension of the Heads of Departments to repair to New-York. On this point we shall be concise, as but little is required to elucidate it. The Heads of Departments did not refuse to attend the court. They only respectfully suggested to the court the propriety of taking their depositions, inasmuch as the state of the public affairs did not admit of their then leaving the seat of government. A motion by the counsel of the accused, to grant compulsory process, was disallowed; and the court expressly declared (Judge Paterson) that the testimony expected from the Heads of Departments was not material to the accused, and could not exculpate them. It is true that one member of the court, Judge Paterson, declared himself in favor of a rule to show cause why an attachment should not issue; but, after his declaration that the testimony expected was not material, we can only consider this course as recommended to him, not from an opinion of the importance of the evidence, but solely from the opinion that the witnesses had rendered themselves liable to attachment for disobeying the process of the court.
But what is most material on this point is this—Did the accused request the court to issue a commission to take the testimony offered by the Heads of Departments to be given by way of deposition? They did not. Why did they not? Not because they could not get the testimony on which they professed to set so high a value, as well by written depositions, as orally in court. For whatever shades of difference there may be between the two courses, they would substantially have issued in the same result. No, they made no such demand—and their omission to do so compels us to infer that when the subpoenas were issued, it was not from the wish to get the testimony of the Secretaries, but under the impression that they would not attend, and that their non-attendance would give a handle for propagating the belief that they were afraid to make a disclosure of the facts within their knowledge. No sooner is this disclosure offered than the accused are silent. They make use of no means to obtain it. But, though this disclosure was not obtained, the offer to make it is fortunately on record. It can no longer be said that the administration were afraid of disgracing themselves by making it. With conscious innocence for their shield, they have declared themselves ready to answer the questions put to them. Had they given a personal attendance at New-York, this opportunity of demonstrating their innocence might not have been afforded them. The court might have refused to receive their answers to particular interrogatories, and have thus shielded them from the censure attached to a declension on their part to answer them, had they been so disposed. By offering to give their depositions, had a commission been issued, any questions whatever might have been propounded, and the responsibility of refusing to answer them have thus attached to them. Let us not hereafter then hear it alleged that there was any indisposition on the part of the Heads of Departments to make a full disclosure of every thing within their knowledge; and let it not be said that their declension to give their personal attendance evinces a conscious-
ness of guilt, or is evidence of a participation in the enterprise. The charge of participation is, in the last place, maintained from the verdict of acquittal; it being contended that the innocence of Smith and Ogden implies the criminality of the administration.
The species of reasoning used on this head is so extremely weak and puerile as scarcely to merit notice. What! shall it be said that one man who actually enlisted troops, and another who actually fitted out a vessel, both with a full knowledge of her destination, are innocent of all crime, while those who at most knew that such a project existed, are criminal? That conduct is less criminal than contemplation, than even a knowledge that some such conduct was contemplated by another?
But as an effort is made to make a great handle of this verdict of acquittal, we will give this argument a more detailed notice. It takes for granted the innocence of Smith and Ogden, and on their innocence builds the criminality of the administration. If the argument be a sound one, then the converse of the proposition will be just, and it will follow that if Smith and Ogden are proved criminal, the administration are innocent. Let us appeal to facts. The public, the tribunal before whom we now stand, to whom an appeal is made by the enemies of the administration, is not bound by the rules that prevail in a court of justice. Though the latter could not receive as evidence the depositions of the accused made before the district judge, or their memorial presented to Congress, the public will not hesitate, so far as they operate against them, to consider them as the most conclusive evidence. Do they then establish, or do they not the innocence of the accused? On this point it is impossible that there should exist a diversity of opinion. The acknowledgement of Smith and Ogden is so broad and plain that it is not possible to raise a dispute about it. Smith was the bosom friend of Miranda in whom he reposed his confidence; he referred him to a proper agent, placed his son under his care, enlisted men for the expedition and paid them. He did this while he held an office in the customs, which is said to yield an annual salary of 6,000 dollars, paid for the performance of duties on which the observance of the law depends. Whatever Ogden may do, Col. Smith cannot profess ignorance of the law we have quoted. If he does, such wilful ignorance would prove him unworthy of his office. No such ignorance, however, is pretended. How then, in the name of Heaven, can this man be called innocent? A jury, it is true, have found him not guilty. But they had not before them the depositions of the accused or their memorials. They were even obliged to dismiss from their recollection such papers existed. This may be their apology. But the argus eyes of the public are not to be thus deceived by the cobwebs of the law. Taking into view the whole testimony offered, they must declare Smith and Ogden guilty. According then to the argument we are considering, if they are guilty the administration are innocent. But the argument is built on miserable sophistry. Ogden & Smith may be innocent, and the administration innocent likewise; or both may be guilty. The conviction of the one could not have acquitted the other; neither could their acquittal have convicted them. The case then stands precisely as it did before the verdict was given, except that while the readiness of the heads of departments to give their testimony by deposition, shews their fearlessness of a full disclosure, the omission on the part of the accused to demand a commission evinces their belief that no exonerating testimony was really expected by them.
It is possible, that in making these animadversions we have been led into some error, from the premature discussion forced upon us by the federal prints, which, instead of waiting until all the proceedings attending the trial should be published, have come forward with the most intemperate abuse of the administration. Should any such appear hereafter to have been committed, we will take the earliest occasion to correct them.

McBride is a carman in the employ of Shields. He carted five pieces of cannon to the Leander, and some arms from John Murray's merchant. He likewise carted 5 casks containing shot, as he supposed one of them was open and it contained shot. He carted some boxes to the Leander, one of which he saw when making up; it contained muskets. All this was done in open day.
Jas. Cieland, a carman, testified to similar facts.
He carted casks to the Leander, and some which he saw open, were full of cravatage ball.
John Murray, sworn.
The witness sold, in January last, 238 old swords, and some cutlasses and

to capt. Lewis. They were old and rusty, the refuse of a quantity which he had bought.
Were they in good order for a military expedition?
I cannot tell; I am not a military man. I bought them as merchandise and sold them as such.

Who paid you for them?
I got Mr. Ogden's note.
Martin Boerum, sworn.
The witness keeps a powder house at Brooklyn, Long Island. By order of Mr. Ogden, he delivered to a boatman 150 quarter casks of gun powder to go on board the Leander when she lay at Staten Island: he thinks it was in February. Says it is customary for shipping merchants to put powder on board after a vessel has cleared out, & just before she puts to sea.
James Burbank, sworn.
The witness is employed in one of Vanclief's ferry boats. He carried on board the Leander 200 kegs of powder, between 22 and 25 of small ammunition, and some cartridges; the powder was from Boerum's powder house; some muskets and pistols from the city, and muskets with bayonets. He did nothing secretly.
Anthony Bard, boatman, sworn.
The witness carried on board the Leander some bundles of sh-epskin, five coils of match rope, and some chests, which were emptied and the chests thrown overboard. The chests contained powder horn.
Nathaniel Ward, sworn.
You are a ship carpenter.
Yes.
You was employed on board the Leander before she sailed.
I was three days before she failed, which was about the 24th of January. The witness saw 18 guns mounted, besides several in the hold, a number of muskets and bayonets, and a great quantity of single and double headed shot. He also saw boxes of a size proper to contain small ammunition, and gun carriages besides those on which the cannon were mounted. He knew of no concealment.
John Gants, ship-carpenter, sworn.
You worked on board the Leander?
Yes.
At what?
Making a lower deck.
When was the lower deck put in?
January.
Before the cargo was taken in?
Yes.
The witness saw 12 casks of shot, and a considerable number of boxes, he supposed with muskets. He was again on board to stop a leak, and saw a great number of pikes and bundles of handles, but cannot say how many. The Leander appeared to be full when he went to stop the leak. He went on board before and during the month of January, but cannot particularly mention dates. He finished about 5th of the February. The Leander was deep in the water.
Francis Gants, ship-carpenter, sworn.
You was on board the Leander to work in January last?
I was, and assisted in putting in the new lower deck, which was done by order of capt. Lewis.
Did you see any arms on board?
I saw arms in her hold.
Cross examined.
What difference does the new lower deck make; does it render her fitter for commerce or for war?
For both: the new lower deck accommodates passengers. The witness said that the articles were carried on board publicly; nothing was concealed.
George P. Hopkins, printer, sworn.
Did Samuel G. Ogden apply to you for a printing press?
He did, and I sold him one and delivered it to his order about the 20th of January, and have not seen him since; he wanted some Spanish characters; said he was told they were necessary, and I procured them for him.
Cross examined.
Is it common for printing presses to have Spanish characters?
I do not know that it is.
Yonas Mayes, merchant sailor, sworn.
Do you know Samuel G. Ogden?
Yes.
Did you in January last make a suit of uniform for him?
I did, and have not heard of him since.
What colour?
It was our artillery uniform with red facings; I make them every month in the year.
Cross examined.
Was not Louden an officer under this flag? He was an officer in my regiment of militia, the 5th, but the uniform was not of the regiment to which he belonged.
Thomas Stokes, merchant tailor, sworn.
Mr. Stokes testified that in January last
he made a blue coat, with buff facings for Samuel C. Louden, and a coat the same for a Mr. Mullaney, or Molina. Mullaney, or Molina paid the witness in Miranda's own bill.
John Swartwout, Marshal of the District, sworn.
Have you had any conversation with Col. Smith on Miranda's expedition?
I do not think that I had any conversation with—
Here Mr. Hoffman, for the defendant addressed the court on the question, to which he objected.
What have you heard Col. Smith say on the subject of the expedition?
I think very probably that he has admitted that the destination of the Leander was to South America. I cannot positively say that I have heard Col. Smith declare that the expedition was against Carraccas. He told me when gen. Miranda arrived, that Miranda intended to revolutionize Carraccas, & that that was his object. I have heard Col. Smith say—
Here he was again interrupted by the counsel for the defendant who objected to this sort of testimony.
I have frequently asked him if he has heard from his son. I have understood that the object of the expedition was to revolutionize Carraccas, and that the Leander was used to carry on the expedition.—Col. Smith has said that Miranda told him that it had been made matter of notoriety. He always said that he supposed he acted with the sanction of the government.
(To be Continued.)
AT a meeting of a respectable number of the citizens of KASKASKIA, and its vicinity, convened at the house of GEORGE FISHER Esq. for the purpose of celebrating the Anniversary of American Independence, 4th July, 1806, Major PETER MENARD was placed in the chair as President, and MICH. JONES, Esq. as Vice-President. When the company were seated under a bowler, an address, by request, was delivered, by ROBERT ROBINSON, Attorney at Law; after which having partaken of an elegant dinner prepared for the purpose, the following toasts were drank, each being accompanied by the discharge of cannon.
1st. The day—May each revolving year still find America united, and her citizens as happy as they now are, in celebrating the glorious anniversary of her independence.
2d. The constitution of the United States—May its principle be preserved and honored; and its supposed defects, arising from its brevity be remedied, by adhering with purity of intentions, to the true spirit of it.
3d. The President of the United States—The author of the declaration of independence—to this testimony of his talents and patriotism, add the policy of his administration which annexed to our republic, Louisiana, the indispensable use of the Mississippi; and which will probably terminate in the acquisition of the Floridas also—and say, we have a Cabinet.
4th. The Vice-President of the United States—Reserved for his military services and love of his country.
5th. The Congress of the United States—their acts are before the people—May they properly appreciate, & never maliciously or with party motives, detract from the merits of its members.
6th. The American republic—May it be blessed with a more than Roman fortune—May the waves of party soon subside, and the shipwreck of the union be no longer apprehended.
7th. The Heads of Departments—Their republican principles & known integrity & abilities are sure pledges that their respective duties will be discharged with honor to themselves and utility to the community.
8th. William H. Harrison, Governor of the Indiana territory—May he continue to merit the approbation of the people, and the confidence of the general government.
9th. The memory of Gen. G. Washington, and the heroes who fell in defence of our rights and liberties.
10th. Harmony and friendly intercourse with all nations that act justly towards us—dependence on none.
11th. Agriculture, and Commerce,—But agriculture the first.
12th. Religious opinion—May its only restrictions be conscience.
13th. The Indian Tribes in the west—May they become sensible of the humane policy of Congress; and by a peaceable and friendly demeanor avert the calamities of the necessary vengeance of their injured fathers.
14th. The army and navy of the United States.
15th. Liberty—glorious liberty—The gift of nature and of nature's God—That noble cause for which Hampden bled in the field and Sidney on the scaffold.
16th. The Indian legislators—Aloof from prejudices—uninfluenced by passion—and uninfluenced by local distinction—May their approaching session evince that the public good is their sole object.
17th. The honorable John Griffith—as he has merited the approbation of the citizens of the Indiana territory, both in his character as legislator and as judge—so may he merit the approbation of the citizens of the Michigan territory, in the discharge of similar duties.
18th. The American fair—Favored with their smiles—may every true republican, equally set at defiance, the arrogance of the self created queen of the ocean, and the dictated superciliousness of Spain.
VOLUNTEERS.
By the President—Kaskaskia—
May it raise from its ruins like the Phoenix.
By the Vice-President—Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury of the U. S.
By R. Robinson, Esq.—The army and officers of the U. S.—May they learn to distinguish between civil and military duty.
By James Galbraith, Esq.—May the close of Mr. Jefferson's administration evince to Mr. Randolph and the small cluster that surround him, that we both possess a cabinet and possess the Floridas.
After which an elegant ball, honored by the presence of the ladies of Kaskaskia and its vicinity closed the entertainment.
A committee consisting of Mr. Jones, G. Fisher, and J. Griffith, Esqs. were requested to call on R. Robinson, Esq. for a copy of the address this day delivered, and to cause the same, together with the proceeding of the day to be published, &c.
By AUTHORITY.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS a treaty between the United States and the Cherokee nation of Indians was concluded and signed on the twenty-fifth day of October, last past and was duly ratified and confirmed by the President of the United States on the twenty fourth day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and six, and with the advice and consent of the Senate, which treaty is in the words following, to wit:
ARTICLES of a treaty agreed upon between the United States of America, by their commissioners, Return J. Meigs and Daniel Smith, appointed to hold conferences with the Cherokee Indians for the purpose of arranging certain interesting matters with the said Cherokees, of the one part, and the undersigned chiefs and head men of the said nation of the other part.
ART. I. All former treaties, which provide for the maintenance of peace and preventing of crimes, are on this occasion recognised and continued in force.
ART. II. The Cherokees quit claim and cede to the U. S. all the land which they have heretofore claimed, lying to the north of the following boundary line: beginning at the mouth of Duck river, running thence up the main stream of the same to the junction of the fork, at the head of which Fort Nash stands, with the main south fork; thence a direct course to a point on the Tennessee river bank opposite the mouth of Hiwassee river. If the line from Hiwassee should leave out Field's settlement, it is to be marked round his improvement, and then continued the straight course; thence up the middle of the Tennessee river, but leaving all the islands to the Cherokees, to the mouth of Clinch river; thence up the Clinch river to the former boundary line agreed upon with the said Cherokees, reserving at the same time to the use of the Cherokees, a small tract lying at and below the mouth of Clinch river; from the mouth extending thence down the Tennessee river, from the mouth of Clinch to a notable rock on the north bank of the Tennessee, in view from South West Point; thence a course at right angles with the river, to the Cumberland road; thence eastwardly along the same, to the bank of Clinch river, so as to secure the ferry landing to the Cherokees up to the first hill, and down the same to the mouth thereof, together with two other sections of one square mile each, one of which is at the Fort of Cumberland mountain, at and near the place where the turnpike gate now stands; the other on the north bank of the Tennessee river, where the Cherokee Talootiske now lives. And whereas, from the present cession made by the Cherokees, and other circumstances, the site of the garrisons at South West Point and Tellico are become not the most convenient and suitable places for the accommodation of the said Indians, it may become expedient to remove the said garrisons and factory to some more suitable place; three other square miles are reserved for the particular disposal of the United States on the north bank of the Tennessee, opposite to and below the mouth of Hiwassee.
ART. III. In consideration of the above cession and relinquishment, the United States agree to pay immediately three thousand dollars in valuable merchandise, and eleven thousand dollars within ninety days after the ratification of this treaty, and also an annuity of three thousand dollars, the commencement of which is this day. But so much of the said eleven thousand dollars, as the said Cherokees may agree to accept in useful articles of, and machines for, agriculture and manufactures, shall be paid in those articles, at their option.
ART. IV. The citizens of the United States shall have the free and unmolested use and enjoyment of the two following described roads, in addition to those which are at present established through their country; one to proceed from a convenient place near the head of Stone's river, and fall into the Georgia road at a suitable place towards the southern frontier of the Cherokees. The other to proceed from the neighborhood of Franklin, or Big Harpeth, and crossing the Tennessee at or near the Muscle Shoals, to pursue the nearest
and best way to the settlements on the Tombigbee. These roads shall be viewed and marked out by men appointed on each side for that purpose, in order that they may be directed the nearest and best ways, and the time of doing the business the Cherokees shall be duly notified.
ART. V. This treaty shall take effect and be obligatory on the contracting parties, as soon as it is ratified by the President of the United States, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the same.
In testimony whereof, the said commissioners, and the undersigned chiefs and head men of the Cherokees have hereto set their hands and seals.
Done at Tellico the twenty-fifth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and five.

I have caused the premises to be made public, and I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office, civil or military, within the U.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have caused the seal of the U. S. to be hereunto affixed, and signed the same with my hand.
Done at the City of Washington, the twenty-fourth day of April, Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and six, and of the independence of the United States the thirtieth.
TH: JEFFERSON By the President, JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.
Alexandria, June 21, A large quarry of marble stone, of different colors, has lately been discovered on the plantation of Mr. John Henkel, near Harper's Ferry. It is equal to the marble of Italy, or that of any other country.
New-York, August 2. By the fast sailing ship Oliver Elworth, capt. Bennett, the Editors of the New-York Gazette have received London and Liverpool papers, the former to the 18th, and the latter to the 20th of June. They afford much interesting matter—part of which is now given—the residue shall appear in future numbers.
By passengers in the Oliver Elworth, we learn that the most prevalent opinion was, that a peace would take place between Great Britain and France in the course of the summer, as pacific overtures from Bonaparte were under consideration. Lord Selkirk, appointed ambassador to the U. S. had taken leave of his
government, to depart immediately for America.
Little or no alteration had taken place in the markets, except in stock, which experienced a trifling alteration in consequence of the glimmering prospect of peace.
LONDON, JUNE 14. The foreign journals present a mass of incongruous rumours, from which it is hardly possible to collect an intelligible detail—but one thing is certain, that Germany is undergoing a complete change in its political constitutions, which will transfer all the power and influence of the Germanic body to Bonaparte and his allies! What further objects are in view it is impossible to guess, but so large an army as France now keeps up, cannot be long unemployed.
JUNE 16. We have received Paris papers to the 8th, and Dutch to the 11th instant. The new form of the Dutch constitution is definitely pronounced. It is to be a constitutional monarchy, but in which the reigning Sovereign will be as dependent upon whosoever fills the throne of France as any of the prefects of that vast empire. Indeed the authority delegated to king Louis is little more than that of a viceroy or lieutenant. He is established in Holland rather for the purpose of covering the northern frontiers of France than for securing any one advantage to the Dutch nation. The conditions of the Treaty, by which the independence of Holland is laid at the feet of France, differ but little from those inserted in this paper on the 2d inst. In the first article, Buonaparte guarantees the integrity of the Dutch possessions in every part of the world. If this guarantee is to be retrospective in its effect, it will necessarily imply that Demerara, Surinam, and the Cape, are to be restored to the Dutch, or, in other words, that they are to be put in possession of France. We do not suppose that he intends to be less peremptory upon this point than he was with respect to the integrity of the French possessions during the negotiation for the peace of Amiens. A commercial treaty between France and Holland is to be one of the leading features in the new arrangement. We may be assured that there will not be an article in it which will not be particularly aimed against the commercial prosperity of this country. The complete exclusion of British manufactures from every part of the continent, where the range of French despotism, is a favorite idea with Bonaparte. The experience of nearly seven years has not convinced him of its utter impracticability.
The Turkish ambassador had his introductory audience on the same day that prince Louis was hailed king of Holland. The address which he delivered on the occasion, is published in the official paper, in the original Turkish character. Could we place much reliance upon the translation annexed to it, we should be apprehensive that the Porte was anxious for an immediate renewal of her former connection with France. Bonaparte hints at something of this kind in his answer. The safety and advantages of an intimate alliance with him are suggested in such a way, that it is to be feared a closer relation than that which binds the two countries at present, is not only meditated, but in progress.
The long and, it must be admitted, important services of Talleyrand have been rewarded with a principality. Two Italian Duchies, it seems, were in dispute between the courts of Rome and Naples. Bonaparte put an end to the difference by seizing on the disputed territory, and conferring one of the principalities upon Talleyrand and the other upon Bernadotte. The former is now prince and duke of Benevento—the latter prince and duke of Ponte Carvo.
There was a report on Saturday, which made some impression on the funds, that Mr. Adair was going to Paris from Vienna, in company with M. D'Oubril, upon a pacific negotiation, jointly with Russia. No accounts of Mr. Adair's arrival at Vienna are yet received, and the whole of this speculation is reared on the paragraph in the foreign papers, that M. D'Oubril was going to Paris from Vienna; a statement, the truth of which, so far from being ascertained, is extremely questionable.
JUNE 17. We have received Paris journals to the 11th and Dutch to the 15th inst.
An article from the Hague, June 10, states the arrival there the preceding day from Paris of admiral Verhuel and Van Styrum.
His excellency M. Verhuel, after visiting the grand pensionary, and the President of their high mightinesses, had a conference with the secretaries of State. Verhuel commenced his career, by delivering to the secretaries of state plans of various new taxes, which Louis Napoleon, the king of Holland, has charged him to recommend to their immediate consideration and adoption! Verhuel then proceeded farther to open his commission by the king of Holland's order. He repaired to the councils; and afterwards, in a convention of their high mightinesses, announced the accession of Louis Napoleon to the kingdom of Holland! The president thanked Verhuel for his important communication, and prayed for the happiness of the people of the country—under this new order of things!
The Moniteur of the 7th, contains a copy of the Prussian Proclamation, by which Anspach is transferred to Bavaria.
The difference respecting Cattaro is at length terminated. The evacuation of that post by the Russians, or, at least, the issue of orders for that purpose, is officially announced in the Mo-

at the 8th inst. The French armistice is in consequence immediately to retire from Germany, and Braunau is to be restored to Austria.
Letters from Berlin in the Dutch papers of the 14th inst. say, that "Baron Hardenberg was about to set out from thence for London, on a special mission."
JUNE 12.
TRIAL OF LORD MELVILLE.
According to notice sent from the Lords to the Commons on Tuesday, that their Lordships would proceed further in the trial of Lord Vis. Melville this day, that hon. House, attended by their Speaker, were in the High Court of Parliament, Westminster-Hall, this morning exactly at ten o'clock. In consequence, however, of a discussion which previously took place in the House of Peers, it was not till half after eleven o'clock that the procession of their Lordships took place; and it was twelve before the customary formalities of opening the court had been gone through.
The ten articles of impeachment were then read, and the question of guilty, or not guilty, was put severally and respectively upon each of them to each Peer, beginning with the junior Baron, each Peer laying his right hand upon his left breast, and saying to each article, "guilty," or "not guilty, upon my honor."
The following are the divisions on the first article:
On the 1st article, charging him with applying 10,000l. of the public money to his own use previous to January 1786: Not guilty 120—guilty 35.
On the second article, charging him with permitting Alexander Trotter to apply sums of the public money to his own use, and conniving at such fraudulent application: Not guilty 79—guilty 57.
On the third article, charging him with permitting Alexander Trotter to draw public money from the bank, and place it in the hands of his bankers, Messrs. Coutts and Co. in his own name, and at his own disposal: Not guilty 84—guilty 58.
On the fourth article, charging him with similar connivance, in respect of public money placed by said Trotter in the hands of Mark Spott, for the purpose of private emolument: Not guilty unanimously.
On the fifth article, charging him the same as in the first article, only laying the act subsequent to January 1806: Not guilty 131—guilty 4.
On the sixth article, charging him with receiving public money from Alexander Trotter, and applying it to his own use, and in participating with said Trotter in the profit made on the public money: Not guilty 86—guilty 47.
On the seventh article, charging him with receiving 22,000l. of the public money, without interest, from Alexander Trotter: Not guilty 82—guilty 51.
On the eighth article, charging him with receiving from Alexander Trotter, 52,000l. of the public money, for which the defendant was to pay interest: Not guilty 100—guilty 30.
On the ninth article, charging that while the said Alexander Trotter transacted the business of the defendant as his agent, he, the said Trotter, was from time to time in advances to the said Viscount Melville, in that respect, to the amount of from 10,000l. to 20,000l. which sums were partly taken from the public money, and partly from a mixed fund of public and private money: Not guilty 119—guilty 16.
On the tenth and last article, charging him with taking at divers times, between 1782, and 1784, and between 1784, and 1785, 27,000l. of the public money and converting the same to his private use: Not guilty 123—guilty 12.
The Lord Chancellor then informed the noble defendant, that he was ACQUITTED ON ALL THE CHARGES and the court broke up.
The funds yesterday experienced an additional rise, and there were some considerable purchases. The speculation is similar to that we mentioned yesterday. A negotiation is expected to take place in conjunction with Russia. The letters and papers from the continent encourage this expectation; but we cannot view it as founded upon any authentic information.
HAGUE, JUNE 10.
The following is a copy of the Proclamation which was read this day to the military, and announced to the people:
"Louis Napoleon, by the Grace of God and the constitutional laws of the state, King of Holland, to all who shall see and read this, greeting: Make known to all and every one, that we, with the approbation of his majesty the emperor and king Napoleon, our illustrious brother, have accepted and do accept the Royal dignity of Holland, in conformity to the wish of the country; with the constitutional laws, and with the treaty presented to-day, and the reciprocal ratifications by the deputies of the Dutch nation. On our accession to the throne, it shall be our most sacred care to be alive to the interests of our people—it shall be our constant wish to give them incessant and manifold instances of our love and of our solicitude; to that end maintaining the liberties of all our subjects, and their rights and continually employing ourselves in their welfare. The independence of the kingdom is guaranteed by his majesty the emperor and king—the constitutional laws, with our firm will serve no less for every one as a
pledge to the future of the state, to personal liberty, and to liberty of conscience. Conformably to this declaration, we have decreed and do decree as follows:
I. Our ministers of the Marine and Finances, appointed this day, shall immediately enter upon their functions—the other ministers shall continue in the discharge of their functions till further orders.
II. All the constituted authorities, civil and military, shall continue in their functions till further orders, or till other appointments shall take place.
III. The constitutional laws of the state, with the treaty concluded at Paris, on the 24th of May, 1806, between his majesty the emperor and king and the Batavian Republic, with the present decree shall immediately be announced in the most public manner.
We accordingly charge and command, that the present be proclaimed and posted up every where in all public places, charging those to whom it belongs to take care that the contents of the same be strictly observed.
Given at Paris, June 5, 1806, being the first year of our reign.
On behalf of the king,
VERHEUL.
In consequence of this proclamation, a dis charge of the artillery in the Cow camp took place, and the flags were hoisted on the tower of the great church and on the observatory of the hotel, in the inner court.
An extensive promotion has taken place in the Prussian army, a measure generally adopted at the commencement of a war, of which it is now considered indicative. Several fresh regiments have been ordered to join the Prussian army in Pomerania.
The Swedes are busied in constructing works along the River Pene, which divides Swedish Pomerania from Prussian Pomerania; and the Prussians who crowd the opposite bank, do not offer the least impediment. At Stralsund, the fortifications are completed; and a militia to the number of 5000 men has been organized to assist in defence of that place.
The Emperor of Germany has not yet appointed an ambassador to Paris. Count Metternich, now at Berlin, it is said, is to go thither and to be replaced at the Prussian court by Count Merveldt, now employed in a secret mission to Petersburg.
Lucien Bonaparte still lives at Frascati, near Rome and has refused his eldest daughter (by his first wife) to go to Paris as Napoleon desired; declining, also the offer of the latter to obtain for her an advantageous marriage.
An English corps is stated to have landed at Cape de Itria in the Adriatic.
The Archduke Charles has induced the organization of volunteer corps in Vienna, to the number of 20,000 men, and has encouraged similar associations in all the other cities of the empire. It is confidently stated that the Levy en Masse and Volunteers now occasionally assembling and training in Hungary, Bohemia, Austria, &c. amount to between four and five millions of men; while the most extraordinary and successful exertions are making to reinforce the army. A letter from Rotterdam, which announces these measures, adds, that they became the subject of a strong remonstrance on the part of M. Rochefoucault, & an enquiry as to the occasion of them—on which Count Stadion replied, that they were considered necessary for the purpose of internal defence.
The French continued, to the date of the last accounts from the Inn, to be unremittingly employed in strengthening Braunau. Three thousand of the neighbouring peasantry had for three months been engaged on the works.
Baron Grote, late Prussian Minister in Lower Saxony it is said is to be the third Prussian Minister of State, in the room of count Keller, who refuses to act with Count Haugwitz.
Baron Thugut has been recalled to Vienna.
The duke of Brunswick, by an order dated the 9th May, has directed the levy of 50,000 dollars for the support of the Prussian troops in Hanover.
The Turkish fleet, under the orders of the Captain Pacha failed on the 1st April to cruise off the Morea and Albania; it consisted of one ship of the line, two frigates and six corvettes and is to be followed by nine ships of the line and several frigates.
The Danish marine, which has lately engaged the active consideration of its government, on the 1st inst. comprised 83 vessels of various denominations ready for sea.
The new Germanic constitution is the production of Racher, the French Charge d'Affaires.
The King and Queen of Prussia had on the 3d inst. left Potsdam for Pyrmont, from whence they proceed to Hanover.
The differences between Sweden and Prussia are likely to be soon adjusted, under the mediation of the Russian ambassador, M. D'Alapens. Count Stackelberg has, however, the chief management of the negotiations now carrying on.
Yesterday, accounts reached the Admiralty, respecting the French squadron which sailed from L'Orient on the 5th November, and which continued to the
middle of march to cruise between Prince's island and St. Thomas's on the coast of Africa, for the purpose of intercepting the outward bound Indian fleet. The squadron consisted of an 84, two frigates, one brig, and one or two British captured vessels, having on the 12th March, taken 21 vessels, mostly Guineamen.
VIENNA, MAY 30.
The passage of couriers through this city at this moment, is not uncommon. Yesterday, in course of an hour, two arrived from St. Petersburg, and one from Paris. And very soon after, three couriers were dispatched from this court to Paris, St. Petersburg, and Berlin, and one to London.
New York, August 2.
The brig Caesar captain Lines arrived on Tuesday at New Haven in 12 days from St. Vincents, and brings intelligence of the arrival of Admiral Warren's squadron in the West Indies. Of what force this squadron consisted, or at what island it had arrived, captain Lines had not learnt.
We learn by a gentleman arrived at the Lazaretto on the Delaware, from St. Thomas, that on his passage they fell in with Sir J. B. Warren's Squadron, about 150 miles from this coast. They had touched at several of the West India Islands and having been informed of the departure of Bonaparte's squadron, and the sailing of the horseward fleet under a weak convoy, Sir J. B. Warren was in pursuit of both or either, intending, if he fell in with the fleet alone, to convoy them safe to England.
Captain Witcombe, in the brig Ruby, 21 days from Guadalope, via Antigua, has arrived at Newburyport. He informs that the 2d day after he left P. Pierre, he was taken by a gun boat and carried into Antigua, but cleared the next day. He learnt there that Jerome Bonaparte's squadron had taken Monferrat the 3d of July. The brig Nymph, and cargo, of Bolton, were libelled, on what particular account he knew not.
In addition to yesterday's accounts from Trinidad, we learn from a gentleman who was in company with Miranda on the evening of the 8th inst. that, from the conversation of the general, there was but little doubt of his ultimate success, as he had lately received very favorable accounts as well as recruits from the Maine. A number of volunteers had enlisted at Trinidad, and were to sail with the expedition, some of whom were young men of respectability. It was supposed Miranda would not leave Trinidad till the return of a vessel from England, which had been dispatched for the purpose of ascertaining how far the British government would become a party in genl. Miranda's plans. Others expected the expedition would sail in a few days. Col. Armstrong, & col. Smith's son, were well at Trinidad the 9th inst.

TRIAL
OF
SAMUEL CHASE,
An ASSOCIATE JUSTICE of the Supreme Court of the United States, IMPEACHED By the House of Representatives, for HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, before the Senate of the United States.
Taken in short hand, By SAMUEL H. SMITH & THOMAS LLOYD.
In Two large Octavo Volumes—in Boards, price—subscribers four dollars and a half—add to non subscribers five dollars.
A much greater delay has been incurred in the publication of this trial than the Editor contemplated. He has, however, the satisfaction of saying that no effort has been omitted by him to give it to the public at an earlier period. The delay has arisen from the revision of the speeches of the Managers and Counsel. The publication might long since have been made in a less perfect dress; but it was deemed highly desirable that in a case, which, independently of its own importance, might be a precedent in future times, to scarce time rather than precision. The work now appears before the public, with the expectation of the Editor that it will be considered as meriting the character of an impartial, comprehensive and faithful statement of facts. All the speeches have been revised, and inserted at length, in connection with whatever else formed a part of the trial.
Editors of other prints will confer a benefit by inserting this advertisement a few times in their papers.

THE subscriber offers for sale the farm he now occupies, containing near 300 acres with or without the stock thereon. It is distant from the cities of Georgetown and Washington, about five miles, and well known as a healthy situation. There is much fine fruit orchard, and abounds with springs, affording as good water as in the United States, a considerable proportion of the land has been in clover, and from thirty to forty acres fit for the scythe the ensuing summer. It is now in a very improving state, being altogether clear of broom sedges, and from 40 to 50 acres ploughed and prepared for a spring crop, and from 30 to 40 acres well set with wheat and rye—some part of the land is calculated for tobacco; and plaster of paris answers well with it all. The dwelling house and other improvements may with small repairs, be rendered very comfortable—room in vicinity to two growing cities; many advantages result in supplying the market. A purchaser may calculate on a good bargain, particularly if an early application be made. Some part of the purchase money will be required in cash or approved negotiable paper, the remainder rendered easy—or negroes received in payment.
