HARTFORD, August 7.
Remarks on an article in the National Intelligencer.
We lately adverted upon paragraphs in the National Intelligencer. "declaring the existence in this country since the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty-three of a monarchic faction; representing the federalists as having attempted to excite a civil war and thereby produce a dissolution of the Union; and charging them with having openly boasted of soon having it in their power to invade the southern states, and of hoping to see reacted in this devoted part of the Union, by declaring freedom to the slaves, those scenes of blood and carnage which have taken place in St. Domingo."
Mr. Smith, the editor of the Intelligencer has tied our stricture in his paper of the 26th of last month, and has partly accorded to the justice of them. He observes that the piece we adverted upon was not written by him, and altho' he is responsible for its contents as the printer, he is not responsible as its author. He further says, "he does not hesitate to admit that the charge against the federalists of meditating an invasion of the southern states and manumitting the slaves is made in language too unqualified, and is not in his opinion just. He does not believe that any such atrocious purpose dwelt in the breast of any federalist." Thus far the explanation of Mr. Smith is the best satisfaction he could give the party whose characters have been traduced in his paper. It does him honor to have explicitly acknowledged that one atrocious charge against the federalists, which he has published in his paper is false. We could wish that he had with the same frankness, acknowledged the falsity of the other two charges, which are equally groundless.
But Mr. Smith still insists that a monarchic faction has existence in this country; and that an attempt to excite civil war, and to produce a dissolution of the union, has met with encouragement. Those points he attempts to prove: and how?
As to the first, namely, the existence of a monarchic faction in this country he says, "the proposition for a frame of government, offered by Mr. Hamilton in the convention, is an irrefragable proof of this fact were others wanting." And what is the amount of this allegation against Mr. Hamilton? Did he propose the establishment of monarchy? No. He merely offered the proposition for a frame of republican government invested with more power than the one that was adopted. Did he pertinaciously insist upon that proposition? No. Did he oppose the constitution that was finally agreed upon? No. Mr. Hamilton was the only member in the convention from the state of New York, who voted in favor of the constitution of our general government. And afterwards in the convention of that state, all the vast energies of his mind and eloquence were exerted to obtain its adoption. But for Mr. Hamilton New York in all probability would men wlt have accepted the constitution; and with to that state had rejected it, the chance call upon him have been greatly against its ever Jobu Bracing the government of the union, the title, whether man has our nation been so of this prop indebted for the establishment of constitution, as to him; and no man
A would have been more ready than he, to have shed his blood in its defence. Therefore if the constitution of our general government was republican, Mr. Hamilton who ever inculcated a strict adherence to its principles, was a practical republican.
Mr. Smith adds, "The fact, that is the existence on a monarchic faction in this country, has been substantiated by a thousand proofs, nothing however has he offered or can he offer, that has the nature of substantial proof. All that he has adduced in proof of this point, is an extract from the Boston Repertory, together with a paragraph in an oration pronounced by Mr. Putnam in Massachusetts. These express a strong apprehension that our republican system of government will soon be subverted, or at most, an utter despondence of its long continuance—not a wish for monarchy, and much less for absolute despotism, the establishment of which, (the latter) would be the inevitable consequence of the destruction of our republican institutions. And is this a sufficient pretext for charging the federal republicans with the atrocious purpose "to destroy the liberties of their country?" who can help perceiving the futility of such pretended proofs?
And how does Mr. Smith prove the alleged attempt on the part of the federal
ists, "to excite civil war, and produce a dissolution of the union?" Why he appeals to "the bold declarations of our federal orators, and the prints that acted in concert with them;" naming neither the orators nor the prints. And he says, "it must be recollected by every man, that at the time the repeal of the judiciary system was agitated, more members of congress than one declared the measure unconstitutional, and did all that eloquence could effect, to rouse the angry passions into uproar and rebellion."
The first of these allegations is utterly unworthy of notice. We deny that our federal orators and our federal printers have "attempted to excite civil war," and we demand proof. The other point may not be passed over in silence.
True it is, "that at the time the repeal of the judiciary system was agitated, more members than one (as Mr. Smith states) declared the measure unconstitutional." But was that declaration to be understood as an incitement to civil war? Was not that declaration made by Mr. Calhoun a decided democrat, as well as by several federal members; and did he aim to excite civil war? When a member verily believes that a law which is proposed to be enacted, is unconstitutional, ought he to be charged with the treasonable design to excite civil war, for declaring that sentiment upon the floor of the House? This is a strange doctrine to be taught a free people; and were it to become an established doctrine, we should soon have no free constitution to contend about.
True it is also, that several federal members, on that occasion, "did all that eloquence could effect," to prevent the passing of the repealing law; but it is not true, (what Mr. Smith asserts, (that they "strove to rouse the angry passions into uproar and rebellion.") They thought the dearest interests of their country were at stake; and they spoke with earnestness and vehemence, but not in seditious and rebellious language. Indeed their speeches were conciliatory, compared with the violent and abusive philippics , uttered the last session by Mr. John Randolph, who is supposed by his adherents, to have meant to excite patriotic , not rebellious passions.
Mr. Smith's proofs are weighed, and found wanting; or rather the charges recoil upon the party that has advanced them. Can it be denied that the democrats actually excited civil war in this country, in two instances? Can it be denied that civil war was mediated and resolved on by them, in the event of Mr. Burr's succeeding to the presidency? Can it be denied that during the balloting in the House of Representatives, threats of bloodshed and assassination were boldly uttered by people out of doors? Can it be denied that the Assembly of the state of Virginia prolonged its session to wait the issue of that national election? Can it be denied that appearances strongly indicated that civil war would have been the immediate consequence, if Mr. Burr had been elected, though constitutionally, to the office of President?
As these are stubborn facts it would be prudent in the democrats to be cautious of stirring a subject that must necessarily bring the opprobrious facts into review. Let them lay their hands upon their mouths.
PHILADELPHIA, August 12.
Latest from England.
By the fast sailing ship Hercules, capt. Bradford, arrived on Saturday evening from Liverpool, we have received files of London papers to the 27th June, and extracts from Lloyd's List to the 18th. The contents of our papers are by no means interesting. We however shall continue to extract from them such articles as appear in any manner illustrative of the present situation or future prospects of Europe. Our correspondent in London, under date of June 24th, furnishes us with the following brief summary of English politics:
"There is an unfortunate misunderstanding between the friends of Mr. Pitt and lord Sidmouth. Without being informed of the particulars of this misunderstanding, we have reason to think that the difference between them arises from two points: The friends of Mr. Pitt are for lenient proceedings against lord Melville, and with that intent have instructed the attorney-general to throw in questions and obstacles before the house, previous to his lordship's trial, for a criminal prosecution; while the friends of the opposite party were for impeachment and a speedy punishment. The friends of lord Sidmouth complain of the severity with which
lord St. Vincent has been censured since he was first lord of the admiralty, only because he reformed many abuses, and prevented much waste connived at by the officer's in all the king's yards at Plymouth, Portsmouth, &c. and worked a complete reform in them; and contend he was the best first lord of the admiralty the board ever had, and that since his time the naval department has been and is still badly managed. The friends of Mr. Pitt contend that the affairs of the country have been in a retrograde situation ever since the peace of Amiens in 1801; and that that weak and blameable treaty laid the foundation of all Bonaparte's designs for the subjugation of England. The friends of lord Sidmouth go on complaining (favored by circumstances lately) that neither the army or military force of the country is so numerous to meet the theatre of invasion, nor the number of ships at sea so formidable against the foe now, as during his administration. The debates of last night, which I shall send you herewith, will show how these charges are supported by comparison and calculation, and the real temper of the parties, and the conclusion; but Pitt is a match for them all. Sometimes it is reported this schism is such, that finding it difficult to act, Mr. Pitt will advise his majesty to dissolve the parliament, or else that he will try to get rid of lord Sidmouth and his party, and endeavor to form a coalition upon a large scale, which shall include the leading men in opposition; Mr. Fox, Gray, Sheridan.
"Be these things terminated as they may, I am warranted in a supposition by what I have read lately, taken from the French and German papers that Bonaparte, seeing he has mounted the ladder of his ambition to the topmost mound at Milan, perceives that his dignities will be best secured and maintained by finding out some means whereby a general peace may be brought about; and what is there, after what we have seen, such a genius cannot accomplish? This object however will depend a good deal upon what success the English Ministry will meet with in their present conferences with the powers already mentioned. Bonaparte's hints already, through the organs of his ministers and writers at Paris, there are two ways in which a general peace may be effected, either by maintaining the treaty of Amiens, or by admitting the rights and privileges of certain powers not provided for or mentioned in that treaty. This expression, though it does not open the door to peace, is putting a hand on the latch."

Four wreckers were taking out the cargo, and it was supposed a great part would be saved; captain L. was embargoed after he was under way coming out, for 5 days, in consequence of a brig of sixteen guns, being ordered out to cruise for the New Providence.
The ship Eliza, Evans, of this port, some time since carried into Cuba by a French privateer, was restored to the cap., about the 30 of last month. Of her cargo consisting of 180 puncheons of Rum, only 50 remained. The vessel was plundered of sails, rigging and materials, could not proceed home without considerable repairs and refitment.

Inclosed you have the Bahama Gazette, which may possibly furnish you with an article or two.
NASSAU, (N. P.) July 30.
The fast sailing schooner Dart, tender to his majesty's sloop of war Stork, unfortunately got ashore a few nights ago, on one of the Florida reefs, and has gone to pieces. Her guns, rigging, sails, &c. have been saved by some wreckers.
We understand by an arrival on Sunday from Florida, that the day before the Stork and tender got in with an American ship of 20 guns, 60 tons burthen, loaded with coffee, &c. from St. Domingo for Philadelphia; the Dart being on the head, the ship fired into her, and an action commenced, which continued some time, but the Stork coming up, gave the ship a broadside, when she struck. After getting the captain of the American ship on board, and reprimanding him for his improper conduct in firing into the Dart, he was permitted to proceed.
[The above is given as we have been able to collect it; but we hope to be able to give a more particular account of this business on the arrival of the Stork.]
While the Dart was on the reef, an American schooner called the Racer, bound to Baltimore, took from her eight men, some warlike stores and officers baggage, with intention of coming to this port, but owing to the current they could render them no further relief, and proceeded on their passage to Baltimore.
The Mayflower, Capt. George Johnson, arrived on Saturday from a cruise. Of the Danes Head shot fell in with the sloop Betsy and Nelly Kenyard, Captain Bate, belonging to a New Davis, of Baltimore. She was cleared at Baltimore, for N. Orleans, with cordage, pitch, tar, paints, oil, spirits turpentine, &c. &c. but supposing her bound to the Havana, she was detained. The sloop arrived on Sunday.
Jerome Bonaparte.—We have seen a letter, (says the Boston Centinel) from a gentleman, in Paris, to his friend in this town, dated May 26, 1805; which lays, "Jerome Bonaparte was presented to the King of Italy, at Milan, the day before his coronation; and received in full favor and grace. It is said, he is to marry the Queen of Etruria, with whom I had the honor of being in public company in Florence. Jerome's wife is here called Miss Patterson; she was forbidden to land, and ordered immediately back to the United States. It is said, however, that she is to have a French pension."
It is known that the pope has annulled the marriage of Jerome Bonaparte with our beautiful country woman; and it is not improbable, that his brother the Emperor and King, will endeavor to strengthen his alliance with some of the continental powers, by marrying Jerome to some one of their branches. Bonaparte has shown a singular anxiety to procure husbands for this queen of Etruria. In every personal qualification she is said to be the very reverse of Mrs. Jerome Bonaparte, and the first husband Bonaparte could procure her was the late deformed dwarf the king of Etruria. The emperor has more than once endeavored to coax his son-in-law, prince Beauharnois, to wed the widowed Queen, but he has declared off; and now it seems Jerome is to elope.

Messrs. LANG & TURNER,
THE annexed remarks and directions merit the circulation which your Gazette is calculated to give. They are extracted from a letter addressed, not long since, to Mr. Gray, late acting consul at Havana, by a gentleman of great respectability in New-Providence.
"The period is not distant since it was customary to speak with some degree of horror of the people denominated 'Wreckers'; and in consequence to report many absurd accounts of their treatment of those unfortunate persons who fell by any means into their hands: but it is now more generally known that they form a very useful body of men. In truth, from their considerable numbers, and the consequent greater security to the lives and property exposed to shipwreck, the danger may arise of means being thus furnished to dishonest people, for defrauding the underwriters by false accounts of losses, intentionally made."
GULF PASSAGE.
"The varying of the courses of the currents and eddies of the Gulf Stream, in thick weather, frequently baffles the most experienced navigators, and it often happens, when masters of vessels reckon themselves well over on the Bahama shore, they unexpectedly run on the Reefs and Shoals of the coast of Florida."
"There are generally about this coast many Providence wrecking vessels, whose duty it is to assist vessels in distress, save the cargoes, and convey the same to Nassau, where they are allowed a salvage according to the award of arbitrators, indifferently chosen; any bargain made whilst in distress being void. It is recommended to masters of vessels, thus unfortunate, to be particularly cautious with the masters of the wrecking vessels; taking receipts for every article, and ordering the same to be delivered to any person he may appoint to receive the same in Nassau; and if he goes up there by the first vessel, to leave a confidential person to attend to the salvage and shipping the residue of the property, ship's materials, &c. &c. but it is strongly recommended not to divide the property into too many crafts, nor to suffer any more people on board than are absolutely necessary—And if any one should manifest a conduct calculated to prevent or impede the safety of the property, or attempt to embezzle, the person who has the charge ought to note down the person and circumstances, that the delinquent may, on his arrival at Nassau, be brought to justice."
From the Political Register.
MR. JEFFERSON'S ADMINISTRATION.
WITH the examples of the most prosperous and enlightened nations to direct the course of their measures; with the strong incitement of personal gratitude to influence their decisions, what has been the conduct of the present administration of the United States towards the agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing interests?
Far from emulating the wisdom of other governments, by recommending to the legislature the granting of liberal bounties to those branches of American manufacture, which, in peace, would promote the prosperity, and in war, secure the independence, of the nation; a narrow policy, exclusively devoted to party and time serving purposes, has been suffered to control these essential objects of general welfare; and a spirit of avarice and favoritism has even prompted the executive department to turn trader, and to export to foreign countries those raw materials, which were indispensably necessary, not only to the growth, but to the the existence of our most important manufactures; materials which could only come to our artisans through the hands of government, and which generosity, as well as policy, should have forbidden them to turn from their long accustomed channels. But the manufacturer and the mechanic may starve, and their families may perish, when their interests happen to clash with those of personal favorites and political partizans. Pursuing, with undeviating steps, their favorite object of accumulating money, to be afterwards lavished in ministerial appointments, and in the foolish purchase of desert and disputed territory, whose only product, for ages, will be domestic dissension and foreign war, our government has increased the imposts on merchandise to an intolerable, and, as it regards the safety of the revenue, an alarming degree; while at the same time, and in the same spirit of wretched, place-keeping economy, the administration has disregarded the claims of our plundered commerce to protection, and the loud cries of our sea-faring citizens against the robbery and personal violence of the freebooters of every nation. Our harbors are blockaded by the most contemptible cruisers; and, as an eternal reproach to the American name, our brave seamen the immediate agents of an ungrateful government, have languished for years in the dungeons of a barbarous foe.
Where is the American, who can read the recital of their sufferings, without exonerating the administration, that has thus protracted their wrongs!
Inculcating the detestable doctrine of distinct interests among the members of our national family, the man, who ought to have considered himself the common parent of that family, has acted the part of a cruel step-father, and has delighted to dissolve those ties of fraternal attachment, which should have bound the agriculture, commerce, and manufactures of the American nation in a general union, and in the bonds of perpetual friendship.
The farmer has been instructed by this philosophy, this party zealot, to regard the artisan and the merchant, not as his brethren and friends, but as his inferiors, his rivals and dependants; and a preference of agricultural pursuits has been studiously evinced, calculated to engender all the evils of jealousy and dislike.
Let any man peruse the following passage from Mr. Jefferson's Notes on Virginia with attention; let him compare them with his practice in public life, and he will perceive a bigoted attachment to opinions, that degrade the meanest capacity, and a course of action which in the page of impartial history, when the passions and prejudices of the day shall have subsided, will sink the character of THOMAS JEFFERSON, beneath that of any statesman who has ever obtained the elevating suffrage of a free people.
Extract from Jefferson's Notes on Virginia.
"Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God, if ever he had a chosen people, whose breasts he has made his peculiar deposit for substantial and genuine virtue."
Page 324—R. T. Rawle's edition.
"The proportion which the aggregate of the other classes of citizens bears in any state to that of its husbandmen, is the proportion of its unsound to its healthy parts, and is a good enough barometer whereby to measure its degree of corruption. While we have land to labor then, let us never wish to see our citizens occupied at a work bench, or twirling a distaff. Carpenters, masons, smiths, are wanting in husbandry: but for the general operations of manufacture, let our work shops remain in Europe. It is better to carry provisions and materials to workmen there, than bring them to the provisions and materials, and with them their manners and principles. The loss by the transportation of commodities across the Atlantic will be made up in happiness and permanence of government. The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body."
Pages 325 & 326....R. T. Rawle's edition.
"Perhaps to remove as much as possible the occasions of making war, it might be better for us to abandon the ocean altogether, that being the element whereon we shall be principally exposed to jostle with other nations: to leave to others to bring what we shall want, and to carry what we can spare."
"I repeat it again, cultivators of the earth are the most virtuous and independent citizens. It might be time enough to seek employment for them at sea, when the land no longer offers it."
Page 344—R. T. Rawle's Edition.
"We will not insult the Negroes of St. Domingo, by comparing the vengeful, but extorted, threat in the Haytian Constitution, "that on the appearance of an enemy, their towns should fall that the state might rise," with Mr. Jefferson's unprovoked and cold-blooded denunciation of cities and their inhabitants—the remorseless policy of the patriotic Blacks has claims to excuse, and even to applause, but the malignant opinions of the illiberal philosopher, can only excite abhorrence and contempt."
We must, however, be allowed to test the political morality of Mr. Jefferson by another standard, his own works. The world are well informed that he is not overnice in the selection of his bosom friends—but it required a comparison of his philosophical opinions with his political practice, to be convinced that, in contradiction of his own doctrines, he could, by every species of courtship and entreaty, solicit the
embraces of "the mobs of great cities, who [he expressly says] add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body."
Refer to the efforts of Mr. Jefferson and his partisans in all the cities of the United States—compare the suffrages which those efforts procured him, with the opinions here cited, and blush, ye inhabitants of our cities, for your own weakness, credulity, and self abuse.

List of vessels belonging to this port, captured by French and Spanish, privateers, during the present war, with an estimate of their value.
Table with 2 columns: Vessel Name, Value. Includes entries for Ship Eliza, Brig Mary, Comet, Jane, Sbr. Sarah, Helen, Telemachus, Iris, Unity, Comet, Schoon. George, Ship Charles Carter, and ship Olive Branch.
It is now about twelve months, since the depredations on our commerce commenced, in which time, the amount of loss sustained by this place is 196,000 dollars. There is no doubt but one or two vessels are omitted; the writer not having an opportunity of making a full investigation; the above are within his knowledge; and he is persuaded that the amount set down is below the actual value. Some partial depredations have been made, not estimated; upon the whole he is persuaded that the amount may be safely put down at 200,000 dollars. Various reflections are excited upon this occasion, I mean sober reflections of calculation.
In the first place we will examine the amount of capital lost to our place. All the property which was insured in this place or not insured, is so much active capital lost. Having had an opportunity of examining the subject, I can say that about 120,000 dollars have been insured in this place or was not insured at all—Now let me ask what must be our situation if this war should continue five years longer, and the same system be pursued? If the former should happen the latter is certain, and with considerable augmentation. If there be any truth in arithmetic, at the end of five years we should be injured to the enormous amount of SEVEN HUNDRED and TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS! What would be our proportion of taxes for an adequate force to protect our commerce from such depredations, I will not undertake to determine, but leave it to those to whom our fiscal arrangements are so happily confined. Let us investigate this upon a more extensive scale, viewing it as applicable to the United States. I take it for granted that nineteen twentieths of the West-India trade of the United States, is insured within them, of consequence that, in such proportion the United States are injured in its capital, by capture. Taking then one twentieth from 200,000 dollars, above stated, and there will remain 190,000 dollars.
If then the whole commerce of our country has experienced depredation in proportion to that of Norfolk, we have only to find out the whole commerce of the country, and we shall then see what the whole will lose, if the war should last five years. This I own is difficult to ascertain; but let us make some attempt. Suppose we divide the whole commerce in twenty parts, and give Norfolk one, (though I am confident it is more than her proportion) and see what will be the result. The amount of loss sustained the last year in this place and insured in the United States is 190,000 dollars; it follows then that our whole commerce has been injured to the amount of three millions eight hundred thousand dollars the last year; if the war should last five years longer, then our whole loss will be TWENTY-TWO MILLIONS EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!
I have said nothing of captures made by the British, nor do I say that we possess the means of repressing them; but I incline to think that if we were to shew that we would not submit to injury, that we should command more respect from Britain. During the last war, when we armed against France, Britain and all the world respected us more. It is but fair to conclude that what has before happened, may again happen.
Having Mr. Editor, brought this subject to view, I leave the comments to be made by those more versed in political economy.

FOR SALE, IN PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Neabsco Furnace, and its Ap- pendages, with 4 or 5000 acres of Land adjoining.
NEAR the town of Dumfries, and within four miles of the Potomac. The soil is generally adapted to the produce of small grain— and, it is too considerable for one purchaser, will be laid off in lots suitable for small farms. A description of the land is thought unnecessary, as those wishing to purchase will, no doubt, first view it. The payments required will be one- third cash, and the balance in two annual instal- ments, to be secured by a mortgage on the land, and no deed will be made until the last payment is complied with. Any person wishing to pur- chase, may know the terms by applying to Mr. Thomas C. Page, living near the premises; who is fully authorized by me, to sell the whole or any part.

CAROLINE MILLS, FOR SALE.
WILL be sold at public sale on the premises, on the 2d day of the 9th month, (September) next, a Merchant and coun- try Mill, with 170 acres of land, on which are sufficient houses for the accommodation of millers and others; situate on the river Rappahannock, about two miles below the town of Port Royal, on a stream of water sufficient for three water wheels and four pair of stones, at almost all sea- sons of the year; is in the best wheat county perhaps in the state, where no competition can be dreaded, and is on tide water.
The Country Mill is nearly adjoin- ing the other, has one overhead water wheel, and one pair of five feet Burr Stones, is surrounded by wealthy farmers, who have large families and it is known that the profits arising from this country Mill alone will more than pay the in- terest of the money, the whole is supposed to be worth, in short this whole property is thought by judges to be the most valuable of the kind in the state of Virginia, and is sold in consequence of the death of Aquila Janney, to enable the sub- scriber to close the concerns of the late partner- ship of Aquila and Elisha Janney.
Terms of sale will be one fourth in cash, or an approved negotiable note at sixty days; the balance in three equal payments, at six, nine and twelve months, bearing interest from the day of sale, and to be secured in such manner as may be determined on and made known at the time and place of sale.
