And for Sale by Cotton & Stewart, A Key to Mystery of Iniquity OR AN Address to Men of Candor and lovers of Truth.
By JOHN WEST,
Of Fairfax County.
This work contains a compendium ecclesiastical history, accompanied with the author's reflections; proving modern episcopacy to be spurious, and human legislation in the Church to be usurpation, &c. &c. May 30

The address of the society of Constitutional Republicans in Philadelphia, to the republicans of Pennsylvania, being concluded in yesterday's paper, we may venture to appeal to our readers for the truth of what, at the commencement of the publication, we advanced respecting it. That it is a masterly piece of eloquence, and that it contains matter highly important and not less true must be admitted. Mr. Dallas is said to be the author of it; and as a literary composition it would do credit to any man. We now offer to our readers a letter from our correspondent, Corregidor , which we have had by us for some days. He seems to have taken a very correct view of the subject; and in our opinion there is not an assertion in his letter which does not come home to the addressers and their conduct with all the force of truth.
CORREGIDOR's 1st LETTER.
To Messrs. Dallas, & his fellow addressers, of Philadelphia.
"Every thing seems out of nature in this strange chaos of levity and ferocity, and of all sorts of crimes jumbled together with all sorts of follies. In viewing this monstrous tragic-comic scene, the most opposite passions necessarily succeed, and sometimes mix with each other in the mind; alternate contempt and indignation; alternate laughter and tears; alternate scorn and horror." BURKE.
MANY ethical writers have maintained the certainty of retribution even here below, upon the grounds of divine justice, and the moral fitness of things; and indeed it would be hazardous to deny that experience very frequently serves to prove the truth of that proposition. The man who in his passage through life has not wasted his intellects upon barren vacuity, but on the contrary exercised them in observing human actions and sufferings, and investigating their causes, will find little difficulty to recollect many examples which tend to confirm that opinion, many instances where retribution seems to march out of her usual track, in order to accomplish the business of retribution, and in which the conduct of the actors cannot be otherwise accounted for, than by a reference to the will of the Most High, in his justice, bringing home retribution to the doors of men. Shakespear the poet of inspiration, makes his murderous Macbeth, avow his consciousness of that truth; "even-handed justice returns the ingredients of our poisoned chalice to our own lips" and lady Macbeth herself, merciless, unrelenting and unappallable though she be, is made by that master of human passions, to exhibit even in her sleep a tremendous testimony to the truth of that doctrine. There is another kind of retribution too which is not always postponed beyond the grave. Just and injured as well as wicked men, often receive it in this world by means out of the reach of calculation or hope, and at times when least expected. The political transactions of your state, gentlemen, present at this moment a momentous proof of both. Even-handed justice now dashes the contents of your own poisoned chalice in the faces of you and your party, as it did in those of the wicked Thane of Cawdor, and his more wicked wife. The virtuous Duncan "who bore his faculties so meek," could not receive retribution here for murder. But the federalists are now receiving retribution for their wrongs in the mutual exposure and disgrace of their divided wrongers, and in the return of that public good opinion, and confidence of which those wrongers despoiled them.
If the misconduct of governor McKean, and of you, gentlemen, his partisans, had its sources in ignorance and error, and its limits within the narrow compass of ordinary, every-day evil, the situation in which you are all involved, would entitle you, perhaps, to commiseration. For assuredly seldom has misery more emphatical fallen to the share of a party—never much greater distress been felt, or even imagined, than yours must be, if you have hearts capable of feeling any thing. Your daring and unprincipled ambition has, in the present contest, precipitated you into a dilemma, in which you cannot lay claim to justice for yourselves, without confessing injustice to others—in which you cannot contend with your adversaries, without insisting upon those very truths which you had once, and but lately, the presumption to deny—and without taking ground upon those very principles which you then endeavored to counteract: in which, if you are victorious, you will owe your success to the exposure and reprobation of those
very political enemies in your enemies, by which you yourselves rose to power over others; and in which, if you fall, you will fall beneath the wounds of that very poisoned shaft which you whetted and dragged for the best and noblest of your fellow-citizens, and with which you drove them from their appropriate ground in the state. Not a sentence—no, not one solitary sentence of just condemnation, have you yet pronounced, or can you ever pronounce, against them, without passing sentence of death upon your own political character; not a disclosure can they make of their evil designs, in which you must not as loudly proclaim your own previous impropriety; not a dash of the brush of shame can you draw across their escutcheon, without emblazoning the pollution of your own political bearings. While on the other hand, they may truly tell you that the wrongs with which you charge them, were taught to them by yourselves; and that for acting as they do, they have your most virtuous lessons, and most honorable example; that they have only got possession, by means of your own cunning and waywardly contrived stratagems, of the tools and traps which you had yourselves laid for others: that you cannot complain of being treated by them in that very kind, in which you (with their honest participation and aid) treated your better fellow-citizens: And if you should assert that you are more wise or more virtuous than they, they will tell you, in return, that that is the very reason why (according to your own precedent) they ought to overcome you; since you, by the very same means, overcame men still more wise and virtuous than yourselves. Finally, whether you are vanquished or victorious, there will arise from the event, this bitter course to gnaw your bosom—that in your contentions you have borne testimony to, and by your avowed declarations in your address, established, beyond refutation, the purity and the wisdom of the federal government; and that if you happen to succeed, you will succeed only by a recurrence to, and recognition of the principles of the federalists; and if you fall, you will fall by those very practices upon the public mind and credulity, against which they have, for years with a loud and incessant voice, warned the country, and more particularly warned your party, under the prophetic denunciation of that very penalty with which you are now threatened, and which I much fear, you will soon undergo. May God, for the country's sake (not your's) avert the omen.
In such circumstances, not to extend pity to you, would be unpardonable, if it were not criminal to entertain pity for state delinquents, who to gratify a perverted, unprincipled ambition, have by their daring and profligate experiments, brought their state to the verge of ruin. You are out of the pale of pity! You have robbed liberty of her best topics of defence, by urging her into incurable licentiousness first and betraying her into hazard of the most foul pollution. You have put the good men of your fellow-citizens to the cruel alternative of giving up the government of their country into the hands of vice, madness, and blank ignorance, or of supporting the authors of those very pernicious measures, which brought it to that doubtful hazardous and dangerous cast of the die; to submit the dearest rights of their state either to a misguided populace, and their misguideders, on the one hand, or, on the other, to those who instigated those persons to misguide that populace, and betrayed them into ruin. Yes! For no other purpose than the gratification of a mere selfish passion, compounded of low minded ambition, and worse, sordid avarice, you impregnated them with that very democratic spirit which you, in your very able address have so forcibly deprecated; deprecated, not because it is vicious but because it vexes you: You instigated the people to change; you urged them to endless innovation; you inflamed them into turbulence, without any cause, and irritated them beyond demand of any provocation; you have contributed to suspend the public happiness, and to disturb the peace and order of the commonwealth; to extinguish confidence, and to interrupt social fellowship and harmony; and, if you have not actually destroyed all those comforts, it is only because rival architects in ruin have taken the work out of your hands, and suggested to you that you may as well save the state if you can, since they, not you, would now profit by its destruction.
Appeals to the people are always hazardous experiments. Nothing but great and stupendous danger can justify them at any time; and even in such cases, they should be constructed so as to allay, not inflame their passions and presumption; they should
be calculated not to infuse into them vain, indefinite and exaggerated notions of abstract rights; but to awaken them to a just sense of their practical duties. Gentlemen, there never was a period in the world's history when there was so little occasion for such things, as that very time when you and the party in which your present adversaries were joint actors with you, had, for your own private purposes, recourse to them, irritating and exasperating the public mind. Those very practices are now turned upon yourselves, and you are compelled to appeal to the people against them, on the principles, and almost in the very words in which the federalists were obliged to appeal against you.
Never was there a more true picture, few more able painted than that given of your adversaries in your address. Few have there been more highly decorated with rich and appropriate drapery, or placed in a more marking attitude; seldom has a likeness more strong, more faithful been portrayed; but remember gentlemen, it is a likeness of your former selves not less than of that precious progeny of your's the present body jacobin of Pennsylvania. This was inevitable. Even the talents of Mr. Dallas, though well suited to such things, could not make it otherwise. It is not in human cunning to draw a likeness of the former that would not resemble the latter; or to display the badness of the one, without describing, with equal truth and force, the political improbity of the other.
CORREGIDOR.
From the Dartmouth Gazette.
The Travellers Returned.
"Who would not bleed with transport for his country, Tear every tender passion from his heart, And greatly die to make a people happy, Ought not taste of happiness himself, And is low-fouled indeed."
"Who so keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from trouble."
The writings of Solomon abound with lessons of rich instruction, are replete with useful ideas, and just sentiments, calculated to enlarge the mind and improve the understanding. Possessed of a thorough knowledge of human nature and acquainted with the numerous imperfections and weaknesses of mankind, he knew from whence every irregularity arose, and how to proscribe its proper remedy. Amongst the many proverbs of this venerable sage of antiquity, the one above cited is worthy of particular attention. By a due observance of this maxim, people would avoid many difficulties, into which they are frequently plunging themselves. There is perhaps no source from which more evils have arisen, than from the want of proper restraint over the tongue, that unruly evil, which is full of deadly poison. It is painful to reflect that notwithstanding speech was designed, by the author of nature to answer the best and most benevolent ends, it is often prostituted to the vilest purposes. That noble faculty which was designed for social intercourse, to impart friendly advice and instruction, and administer the balm of consolation to a bleeding heart, is frequently made the base instrument for wounding the reputation and destroying the happiness of thousands of the human race. Discord and quarrels in families, neighborhoods and larger societies, generally arise from harsh speeches and unguarded expressions, by many of which not the least harm is intended. Nor are these the only evils which proceed from an unbridled tongue. Falsehood and deceit with all their kindred vices, flow from this same bitter fountain, and spreading their baneful influence far and wide, destroy the beauty, order, and harmony of society. How many promising youths whose minds were naturally inclined, and who bade fair to become an honor and ornament to their country, have been drawn aside from the path of moral rectitude into profligacy and infidelity, and have finally fallen a sacrifice to the alluring enticements of unprincipled men! Another thing to which the power of speech is basely perverted, is profanity. How often is our sensibility shocked to hear men, upon every trifling occasion utter the most impious oaths, imprecate the curses of heaven upon themselves and others, and blaspheme the name of that being, who has power to crush them to dust with a single frown! To enumerate all the evils, which arise from the want of proper restraint upon the tongue, would swell this essay into a large volume; enough have been already mentioned, to convince us of the truth of the wise man's assertion.
To keep the mouth and tongue in the sense which he intended, no doubt implies that we keep them free from falsehood, flat-
tery, and deceit: & that we not suffer contention, detraction, and all kinds of profanity; but that we avoid foolish jangling with all vain and unprofitable conversation and employ our organs of speech in the communication of truth and useful information, and in the praise of Him, who has bestowed them upon us.
SALEM, August 22.
We are indebted for a complete file of French papers to captain Rice, of the Ed. win, from Bordeaux: they are to the 27th of June. By these we have later intelligence; but the only circumstance which admits particular notice, regards the mission of the Russian ambassador. Gen. Winzingerode had been long at Berlin, and it was supposed to lay a foundation of general pacification. In consequence count Novosilzoff has been appointed for France. A courier was at Berlin and set off for Milan on the 13th of May, for passports, which were granted by the Emperor Napoleon, and on the 26th of May the Courier from Berlin set off with them for Petersburg, so that the Russian minister was expected in France in July. At Leipsico, it was asserted that the centre of the negotiations was to be at Brussels, and the prince Joseph was to negotiate in the name of his brother, and that the port of Ostend would be chosen for the communication with England. We notice these reports because they appear in French papers. Nothing in France discovers any relaxation in the military spirit, or of the naval preparations. Spain still is active for war, and the fate of Portugal is made a subject of alarm, to the British commerce.
The French and Spaniards have multiplied their privateers in which they are very adventurous. The English, also in the Mediterranean, give great embarrassments to commerce.
It is noticed that the English are purchasing provisions for their Mediterranean forces in the Crimea, and obtain beef and pork at less than two cents a pound.
The union of the Ligurian republic with France, has produced the following account of that republic. The addresses in favor of the union, were signed by 80000 citizens, and in assent with the unanimous will of the chief magistrate. As the whole population is given at 400000 souls, it must include all the voters.
The state represents, that unable to defend its commerce, especially since Piedmont was united to France and not having its independence acknowledged by the English at Amiens, it consented to this measure. Liguria is a rocky shore, whose patrimony is industry on the sea. Its population is of seamen, who have been much in the service of France. They can furnish no soldiers. This measure has been variously received abroad with jealousy, and not at home with full approbation. The neighboring ports of France, promise themselves nothing from the acquisition. The Genoese have three times chosen a free constitution, but the Barbary states, and the policy of European commerce, have given no encouragement to hope for an independent commerce. It is denied in France, that any cause of jealousy can arise from the increase of territorial power by this acquisition. That France will lose at her custom-houses, and be obliged to protect an unarranged commerce. The French say, that the continent will be indebted to them, for saving from entire ruin an ancient city, and for recovering that spirit of industry which once gave prosperity to Genoa.
The voyage of the Greeks, Stephanopoli, who were Greeks, settled in Corsica, and sent from Italy to Greece in 1797, furnishes the following outline of the Ionian Republic. To the Seven Isles is united Cerigotto, which has 17 families living at present in their native independence. The Islands are thus described. Corsu, in N. L. 37, and L. E. 40, is three miles from Albania. It is above one hundred miles in circumference, and has a population of 60,000. It has a spacious and safe port, defended by two fortresses. Its staple is oil, and its climate excellent. Paxo is six miles south of Corfu, and about a fourth part of its circumference. It produces oil, and has a third part of the population of Corfu. St. Maur is seventy miles from Corfu, and not a third of its circumference. It has a good port as well as Paxo, and half the population of Corfu. Ithaca is 4 miles from St. Maur, and but 6 miles in circumference. It yields grain and wine, and its population does not exceed 5,000. Cephalonia is a mile from Ithaca, and is above 160 miles in circumference; it yields wine, but depends much upon its navigation. It employs 150 vessels a third part of which carry above ten guns each. The population is a quarter greater than that of

Cerigo. Zante is 40 miles from Cephalonia, but has not a third of its circumference. Currants and oil, give the riches of Zante. A revenue of half a million of dollars is raised from the first article. It has but one port that can admit large vessels. Five fathoms divide half the island, and have great influence over its very industrious inhabitants. It has but half the population of Cephalonia. Cerigo is 200 miles from Zante, and about the same circumference, but not more than an eighth of its population, and this diminished population is attributed chiefly to the visits from the Turkish and other Corsairs, and the insufficient protection of the Venetian Government. It yields wine, and its inhabitants are represented as the best in the whole republic. No assassination or robbery, evils prevalent in the other Islands, has ever been known in Cerigo.
The Europeans are in anxious expectation of the event of the sailing of the combined fleet. The first fleet has given the French kind assurances of the prosperity of Martinico. Neutral vessels, they hear, arrive in great numbers, and upwards of 150 sail, chiefly from America, are frequently lying in the ports of the island.
[TRANSLATIONS.]
Petersburg, May 22. The embassy for China is upon its departure. It marches in three divisions, and is to unite at Orenburg. Thence it is to continue its route in a caravan, escorted by a thousand regular troops, as far as Kiacta, the last Russian town on the borders of China.
Stockholm, May 28. No surprize will be occasioned upon knowing that the king of Sweden has chosen the time of his presence in the camp of Scama, to publish his orders for the reform of many of his regiments. The great poverty of the public treasury obliges measures, which excite great discontent among the officers. Mention is made of a new emission of iron money, and what is worse, of paper money. The English subsidies will be of great benefit to our finances; but the king of Prussia and the prince of Russia have unequivocally given their opinion on this subject, that for our young prince to accept the guineas of Mr. Pitt, is equal to a promise to pay by the blood of 20,000 Swedes.
Vienna, June 5. According to accounts received from Turkey, we are assured, that the sickness at Corinth and Patras, is neither the yellow fever nor the plague, but a kind of putrid fever, which rages with great violence and soon finishes those who are attacked by it. The number of these victims is however, greatly diminished, & the fever has lost much of its first malignity, though in the hot season we had presumed the contrary.
NEW-YORK, August 26. Arrived, schooner Amazon, Carman, 15 days from St. Thomas. Left there, sloop Romp, Sutherland; schr. Morgan Lewis, Lewis; ship Swift, Bell, all for New York, and several others; schooner Alexandria, Burr, of Alexandria; Friendship, Mason, Savannah; Abigail, Boston, last from Barbice, where she lost her captain; ships Two Pollies and Harmony, of Boston; brig Activity, Coffin, Wilmington, Del. ship Ann, Dickson, of New York; schr. Augustus, Hanifen, of do. The three-masted schooner Regulator, Franklin, of New York, having been captured by a Tortola privateer and fell in with two British frigates soon after, the privateer, fearful of having her men pressed, gave up the Regulator, and the captain run her into St. Thomas. A small foretopsail schooner with a woman head had just arrived in 24 days from New York. Aug. 21, lat. 43, long. 71, spoke ship Independence, Bird, 54 days from Liverpool for Baltimore, and a schooner 28 days from Jamaica for Boston. A British frigate was off Sandy Hook yesterday morning, which captured a ship inward bound.
PHILADELPHIA, August 26. Yesterday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, general Moreau, accompanied by his lady, two children and attendants, landed at Almond's street wharf, from on board the ship New York, captain George, and were conducted in private gentlemen's carriages to lodgings at Mrs. Costineau's, Spruce street. The general is of common stature, a strongly marked countenance, and was very plainly attired.
August 27. By captain Basden from Bermuda, we learn, that the French and Spanish privateers, with their three prizes, cut out of
the river St. Mary, by the Cambrian frigate, as mentioned some time since, were safe arrived at Bermuda. Captain Basden, on the 15th instant in lat. 34, 41, long. 67, 42, spoke the ship Alexander, 26 days from Isle of May for Boston, who, 15 days before, had met with a gale of wind, in which he lost his main and mizen mast, and captain B. imagines his boats, as he saw none on board the Alexander. She had then got up jury masts, and the captain said he would stand for the Continent.

KNOXVILLE, August 7.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability, now in the Chickasaw nation, to his friend in this country, dated July 25, 1805.
"On the 23d inst. the commissioners of the United States concluded a treaty with his nation, by which they have obtained a relinquishment of the Chickasaw's claim to the lands within the following limits, viz. "Beginning on the left bank of the Ohio, where the present Indian boundary adjoins the same, thence down the left bank of the Ohio to the Tennessee river, thence up the main channel of the Tennessee river to the mouth of Duck river, thence up the left bank of Duck river to the Columbian highway, or road leading from Nashville to Natches, thence along the said road to the ridge dividing the waters running into Duck from those running into Buffalo, thence eastwardly along said ridge to the great ridge dividing the waters running into main Tennessee from those running into Buffalo, near the main source of Buffalo river, thence in a direct line to the Great Tennessee, near the Chickasaw Old Fields, or eastern point of the Chickasaw claim, on that river, thence northwardly to the great ridge dividing the waters running into Tennessee from those running into Duck, so as to include all the waters running into Elk river, thence along the top of said ridge to the place of beginning." Reserving a tract of one mile square adjoining to and below the mouth of Duck, on Tennessee, for the use of one of the chiefs; for which the United States are to pay as soon as the treaty is ratified. 22,000 dolls. in specie, and an annuity of 100 dollars during the life of and for the use of his majesty the present king.
The respectable source from which this information is received, does not admit a doubt of its authenticity.
LEXINGTON, August 6.
The Palladium of the 20th ult. contains a long address, signed Matthews Flournoy , wherein he suggests the propriety of a convention being called, to amend the constitution of Kentucky, so as to hold the meetings of the legislature once in 3 years only, unless called in cases of emergency. Mr. Flournoy enumerates many disadvantages attendant on the present annual meet-
ings of the legislature, as well as the advantages that would be derived by holding them triennial; on of which he states to be a saving of twelve thousand dollars.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. THURSDAY, AUGUST 29.
Our correspondent, who yesterday pronounced a few queries for Mr. Jefferson, or any of his friends, begs leave to rectify a small mistake into which he was led by misapprehension. It occurred in the first query, and should read as follows: Did Mr. Jefferson at the time General Arnold commanded in Virginia, (and after his defection) address to him a confidential letter?—Mr. Jefferson or his friends are again invited to give an explicit answer.

Philadelphia, Aug. 26, 1805. His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General, for the middle and southern States of America, gives this public notice to the Merchants, engaged in trade, from the United States to his majesty's dominions, that, according to the terms of the act of the 37, of the King's c. 97, no British built vessel captured by his majesty's enemies, and afterwards bought by American citizens, though sailing under a Sea-Letter, can be admitted to an entry, as an American vessel, into Great Britain.

COMMERCIAL NOTICE.
The undersigned, his Danish Majesty's Consul for the middle States, residing at Philadelphia, has it in charge, from his government, to give publicity to a Placard of his majesty's, bearing date the 15th of May, 1805, importing that every vessel bound from a port of the United States to any port within his Majesty's European dominions, must be provided with a particular bill of Health, signed by the Danish Consul or Vice-Consul at the place of its departure, to prevent such vessel from being detained on its arrival, in consequence of the quarantine laws for the Danish dominions.
The Placard is as follows:
"WE, CHRISTIAN the seventh, by the grace of God, King of Denmark, Norway, &c. made known hereby, that having by complete quarantine regulations, endeavored to secure our kingdom and dominions against importations of all kinds of infectious malignant diseases, it is also our intention that commerce and navigation shall enjoy every facility which can be given consistent with the important end of the regulations; and as the distance and extension of the sea coast of the United States of America, make particular measures of precaution necessary, in order to be assured of the healthiness of such ports from which vessels may arrive at our ports, if the rigour of the quarantine laws are not to be put in practice in every case; we have been induced therefore to order hereby as follows.
 1. That the consuls appointed by us, & their vice-consuls, shall be obliged to furnish to every vessel belonging to our subjects, which from their respective districts are bound for Europe, exclusive of the bills of health issued by the respective authorities of the place, after a minute investigation, a particular attestation, by which the state of health at the place, at the time of the loading of the vessel, may with reliance, be seen and for which purpose particular set forms have been sent them.  2. Every one of our subjects, commanding vessels destined from a port in the U. States, to a port or place in our own or other European states, is bound to ask for such attestation of our consul or vice-consul at the place where his voyage begins, subject to a fine of 50 rix dollars for every neglect, which will be for the benefit of the quarantine regulation.  3. As our consuls and vice-consuls with in the ports of the United States of America, are empowered, upon request, to furnish similar passports to American and other foreign vessels, destined for our own and for ports of other states on the Baltic, in consequence thereof no vessels, coming from the United States, from the time of this our ordinance having been made publicly known at the respective places, will have free access to any ports of our kingdoms and dominions, though it be provided with a bill of health, if it be not also furnished with an attestation, from our consuls or vice-consuls, shewing that it is perfectly free from any suspicion. In the contrary case, it will be considered as coming under suspicion of not being en- 
tirely free from infectious disease, and will be subject to undergo the measures ordered in the quarantine laws issued for our dominions.

Alexander Gordon, Formerly Tavern-keeper at Woodbridge; TAKES the liberty of informing the Public, that he has opened a HOUSE of EN- TERTAINMENT at the Occoquan Mills— where he solicits the patronage of his friends, and hopes for the encouragement of the public. He begs leave to inform those who may please to favor him with their custom, that his house is commodious, his stables good, and shall be well kept; that he is furnished with a good assort- ment of liquors, and that in the different duties of an inn-keeper, his exertions to please shall be unremitted. He hopes that his house will be a con- found venient stand for travellers, being a moderate stage from Alexandria or Dumfries; and from the great labor and expense that has been bestow- ed by Mr. Ellicott, in making a new road lead- ing by this place of unequalled firmness and ex- cellence, he has no doubt but that the route by Occoquan, needs only to be known to entitle it to a decided preference to that by Colchester, and more particularly it will accommodate those travelling from Fauquier, Culpepper, and Orange to Alexandria and the Federal City. A view of the different works at Occoquan, will always be amusing to the stranger who has an hour to spare. August 13. 3taw3w
