Messrs. Printers,
HAVING returned home
from a journey, I have just seen a notice in your paper, signed Robert Alexander, cautioning persons from purchasing lots advertised by Col. Simms and Mr. Fitzhugh, attorneys in fact for Mr. Pendleton, of New-York, and some time since sold by me, alleging that he has a claim and instituted suit for said property. In contradiction to said assertion, I now think it my duty, in justice to Mr. Pendleton, and the gentlemen to whom I sold, to state, in the most positive terms, that he, the said Alexander, his father, nor any person whatever under whom they could claim, ever were in possession, or ever made claim to one foot of said property in any manner. It was purchased by me of Dr. Elisha Cullen Dick, many years past, and, I believe, there is not a better title in America: for the correctness of the above, I refer to Col. Simms, who is fully possessed of the whole business, and whose legal abilities and integrity will convince every person of the truth of my assertions. The fact is, that said Alexander pretends a claim to some land purchased, and paid for by me, from his father, which land does not even adjoin the lots advertised in any part: for which land a suit was instituted, in his name, in the county court of Fairfax, as stated by him, which has been dismissed at his cost, as will appear by a copy of the decree from the clerk, in my possession. I will only observe, at present, that he must be ignorant and stupid indeed, not even to know where his pretended claim lies, as I do again aver, that it does not even adjoin the lots advertised: for the correctness of this, I refer to his own bill exhibited against me, in the suit he speaks of and of record in the county court of Fairfax, and the deed of his father to me of record in the same county.
On the day of sale, the 15th of June, Col. Simms will be on the spot, and will satisfy any gentleman in the most clear and unequivocal manner of the correctness of this statement. B. DADE.

No. IV. FRANCE.
WHILE it is a doubt whether other nations can maintain their independence, every thing in France evinces the spirit that would invade it. No European power has so many soldiers—nor such military schools and institutions to form them to be conquerors—nor so general a taste and habit among the people for wars and conquests. In no state is the vanity of appearing terrible more dear or more a principle of action. In no country do they bear poverty and oppression to willingly, or think it so much a glory for the nation to have a master as terrible to other sovereigns as to his own subjects. Self love is concerned in their tyrant's victories, and Bonaparte interests the pride of every Frenchman, as much as Louis XIV did. Vive le grand Monarque , was the cry an hundred years ago. Now it is vive le premier Consul . They know they have not liberty—they never had it for a day, but they know that they have something which they understand and love better—and that is the power to make all Europe tremble.
With this form of government and such national manners and propensities, France cannot have much commerce nor any liberty, nor long tranquility. The sword will continue to be her plough-share. She will reap where others have sown. Italy sows for her. Spain digs her mines. Holland is her banker. Like old Rome, she sits on her throne, and takes tribute. The exorbitant ambition of France has lately appeared in Bonaparte's electing himself Chief of the Italian Republic.—This subordinate Republic was called Gis-alpine , but to prepare the minor powers of Italy for subjugation, the title is changed. The Emperor of Germany, after yielding the Low Countries and his territories on the Rhine, will find Frenchmen once more near neighbors. His newly acquired dominions in the Venetian Terra Firma will be continually exposed in peace to French intrigue, and in war to the arms of the Italian Republic. It seems as if France was determined that none who escape her yoke shall be free from the dread of it. Her ambition too in making a sort of Deputy King of Etruria, cannot fail to alarm the other powers. Formerly such great changes in the system of Europe engaged the different powers in long negotiations. Now Bonaparte in one hour frames the decree for a monarchy, and the business is no longer open to discussion.
This king is of the family of Spain. It is said that this splendid establishment is the bribe for the cession of Louisiana to France. Thus the United States are to take a late but not a little share in the danger and toils which the restless ambition of France has called the world perhaps for several ages to endure.
The expedition of Le Clerc to St. Domingo, shews how great this danger is. With less than sixty ships of war, and very few, if any transports, an army of nearly thirty thousand men has been transported to that island. England would certainly have employed 400 sail of transports.—This circumstance shews how little the health and comfort of the troops is an object, and how much more it is in the power of the French than of the British, to send great armies on distant expeditions.—Like the Normans, their ancestors, they crowd men on ship board, as thick as sheep in a fold. Whether the destruction of the troops will be greatly lamented has been doubted by many persons. A thousand millions of French livres were promised to them on the conclusion of the war. The climate and the sword of Toussaint will quiet a great many of those clamorous creditors. It is yet a doubt whether they will conquer the island. It will afford employment for the restless spirits in the French army. While other nations are returning to the habits of peace it will keep Frenchmen in arms: It will also accumulate in peace, and while her fleets are free from blockade, a vast force in this quarter of the globe, where France cannot be strong in any other way. Here as in Europe, she is planning to be terrible. In St. Domingo and in Louisiana, she is collecting the conquerors of Italy, the restorers of Dutch and Swiss Liberty the peace-makers of Europe! Already the counts on her commanding influence over the West-Indies and the United States. Her arts have lost their power to deceive.—She now provides substitutes, her troops.
It is another singular proof of the devotedness of all Frenchmen to the affairs of war, that this mighty expedition has been proposed, and got in operation without money. A moneyless fleet and army arrive at Cape Francois. Hunger, that will break through stone walls, will not stop for walls of paper. Disregarding treaties, they seize and strip American vessels, consume their beef and pork, and detain or imprison their crews. More vessels arrive, and are plundered. This supply failing, Mr. Pichon talks of a loan of a million of dollars, and the grand fleet is expected to arrive in the Chesapeake.—Ships' guns are well known negotiators. Just at the moment when a refusal was expected, and it was foreseen would not be taken, the news of a probable rupture of the peace with England, hurries the fleet back to France for a safe hiding place in Breit waters. Thus the embarrassments of our government, and the violation of our rights, are postponed for a season.
If the war should be rekindled, France has little to expect from its events. Her only enemy is one she cannot reach, the only one that can reach her with effect. Great Britain, herself invulnerable, can wound France in the vitals; she can bind her enemy's navy fast in a prison yard, she can keep her manufactures numb in their grave yard. Every art in France will remain as before, smitten with a palsy, except the art of war, and the passion for that is even in a frenzy. France is exhausted of resources. A fruitful soil will produce plenty of food, but there is no commerce and little manufacture to yield revenue. In some years of the late war, she did not expend less than two millions of pounds sterling a week—a sum not less than the revenue of America.
All Europe would scarcely afford the money for such waste. It was, indeed rather booty than revenue. It was taken by the bayonet, not by collectors of taxes, and yet at the time we roasted oxen for joy that the French were free, and enjoyed a cheap liberty. For even then, we prattled about economy. As France can have no object in the war, as she wants peace to prepare Europe for her chains, as she pretends to recruit her marine, her trade & her manufactures, as she has already begun her system of monopoly in commerce, and forced the Spaniards to forbid British manufactures, it is probable she will yield every point to the Marquis Cornwallis, and England and Europe will be permitted to suffer two or three years of peace, without honor, or of safety, or relaxation of exertion and expense. France will probably undergo new revolutions, and humbled Europe will have more wars. America will continue to grow richer in commerce, and weaker in arms. Her soldiers are disbanded—her ships worm-eaten—her revenue abolished—her government chasing popularity, and pursued by contempt.
FROM THE GAZETTE OF THE U. STATES.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A TRUE REPUBLICAN. CONCLUSION.
MANY more marks of a true republican might be given; but it seems to me I have performed all that I promised. I have drawn the striking outlines and prominent features, and I leave it to others to fill up the picture. The marks which I have described are, I think, unequivocal. The man who possesses any one of them may, I think, be fairly trusted; and he, in whom all are united, may be held to your bosom as a true republican, completely qualified to disturb any order of society, and overset any system of government. He has no relish for the harmony of society, or concord of civil subjection, and in the words of Shakespeare, varying their sense,
“Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirits are dark as night, And his affections dull as Erebus; Let no such man be trusted.”
Contrary to the usual practice of historians, who set out with tracing the genealogy of the heroes whom they celebrate, I have reserved this to the conclusion.—True republicanism, such as I have attempted to describe it, is of very ancient origin. All nations have their eras of fabulous and of real history; and the origin of true republicans is in the remotest ages of antiquity, and even beyond the creation of the world. They are of celestial origin, and spring from that great Prince who bravely dared to war with the King of Heaven, and dispute his right to universal empire. The principles of true republicanism were first illustrated by Satan in the councils of Pandemonium.—That Archangel nobly says—
“Is this the seat That we must change for Heaven this mournful gloom For that celestial light. Be it so, since he Who now is sovereign can dispense and bid What shall be right: farthelt from him is best, Whom reason hath equal'd, force hath made supreme Above his equals. Farewel happy fields Where joy forever dwells: Hail horrors, hail Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell Receive thy new possessor; one who brings A mind not to be changed by place or time.”
The mind is its own place, and itself Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. What matter where if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater. Here at least We shall be free.
Here we may reign secure, and in my choice To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heaven.”
Who can imagine a stronger spirit of true republicanism than Satan has expressed in those words, which I have quoted from the great Milton.
“His trust was with th' eternal to be deem'd Equal in strength; and rather than be less, Car'd not to be at all. With that care lost, Went all his fear: of God, or Hell, or worse, He reek'd not.”
Descending from Heaven, true republicanism, like the true religion, has been constantly preserved in some parts of the earth. We read among the Jews of the children of Belial, who was one of Satan's great compeers. These were doubtless true republicans. But why should I trace their progress in distant ages and countries, since, above all others, they remarkably flourish in our own times, and are now in a fair way to attain all they will, destroy all superiority, and instead of the reign of the law, establish the reign of the people, of man, free and equal; correct the errors of superstition, the oppression of government, and the injustice of society; and restore every thing to its rightful owner, the whole people, by an equal distribution of property and enjoyments, a community of estates, goods, and women. Then will man be free, like other animals in a state of nature. Great progress was made in this work of regeneration by our enlightened brethren, the jacobins of France, the most accomplished patterns of true republicans that ever existed. They bore down every thing before them, and were stopped in their progress only by the armies, a force to which it is not unworthy of a true republican to submit; for that is submission to natural force, and implies no superiority of mind.
In this progress they were happily followed by our brethren the United Irishmen; and they also yielded only to the army. In America we made a noble stand in resisting the adoption of the federal constitution. But anti-federalism getting into discredit, we (as our brother Fauchet in his interrupted letter happily expressed) escaped from the odium of it under the name of Republicans. But we are still the same: and trace us through all ages and countries, from our great prototype Satan to the mighty Robespierre, we preserve the same character and the same views, and pursue the same measures.—Here happily we have no force to fear but the law, and that we can make what we please. We can have our own legislators, our own judges, and our own juries; and are always sure of our own witnesses.—Here we have not that dread of all true republicans, or an army to fear. Here we have nothing to fear but our own imprudence, a premature disclosure of our views. Of this let every True Republican beware. It is prophesied that in the latter days, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to old wives fables.—Where the love of order abounds, the zeal of many will wax cold. Do we not already see many falling away from us, because they have discovered that we wish to go farther than they will follow us! Such secessions may ruin us in our present state; we are not yet strong enough to do without those auxiliaries, which in a short time we may discharge and destroy. Let us be cautious and persevering, and without rashness or despondency pursue the march of mind, We cannot fail of success if we be not wanting to ourselves. Let us strike our roots deep and spread and fix our doctrines by means of secret societies. We have already nearly two hundred secret societies in Pennsylvania alone, and a suitable number in the other states; and they are daily increasing. If by such secret societies our brethren in France could crush the strength of that mighty monarchy; what have we to fear from the feeble government of the U. States!

JOSEPH BIRCH, SIMON SUMMERS, JOHN BALL.
The following article is from the London Courier of April 30. Speaking the sentiments of the French Government, as we may reasonably suppose it does, it may be considered as one of the most important, we have for some time received.
From the Gazette De France.
Every body, perhaps, has not remarked with the same attention a passage from the first dispatches from Gen. Le Clerc, in which he observes, that the guns, cannon, and powder, which were found at the Cape, were furnished by the U. States of America.
Perhaps it would be unjust to found upon this circumstance a serious reproach against a government supposed to be attached to France by principle, by interest, and by a just sentiment of gratitude. But if we connect this fact with several other things; if we apply it to a general system of politics adopted by the United States, under the presidency of Mr. Jefferson's predecessor, the abovementioned passage in General Le Clerc's letter may not appear insignificant.
Some months ago we published in this paper an anecdote, which, though it remained unknown for a long time, did not less deserve serious attention. It related to an interview which took place at St. Domingo between Toussaint Louverture and the Commercial Agent of the United States, at the moment in which the result of the famous battle of Maringo had been made known. The plan of the American Government was then to act in concert with the British, to determine the Negro General to declare the independence of St. Domingo; and that was one of the principal instructions of the commercial agent. Conferences continued to take place upon this subject, when Toussaint, informed of what had taken place in Italy, changed his resolution all at once, and cried out, in the accent of despair— Moi pas connoitre ca que devenir; mais Maringo la tuer moi. [I know not what all this will produce; but this Maringo kills me]—and upon this the negotiation was put an end to, or at least suspended.
That Mr. Jefferson, become since President of the Federal Government, has not followed the political system of his predecessor—that he has adopted a mode of conduct less Machiavellian, appears incontestible. But the ideas, either more or less liberal, of a man who is placed for a time at the head of an elective government, ought not to be of any weight in the judgment which may be formed upon the order of things to which he belongs eventually; and when it is necessary to examine the general interests and situation of America, the private opinion of Mr. Jefferson becomes almost a matter of indifference.
If we pay attention to the rapid increase of the population, the industry, trade and wealth of the United States, we cannot avoid foreseeing that that power is destined one day to rule over the new world, and to place under its yoke all the West-India Colonies. Is it not the interest of Europe to endeavor, while it is yet time, to remove that epoch to a greater distance; and does not policy require that there should be established as soon as possible upon the continent of America, a barrier against the presumed ambition of a people to whom nature has promised the empire of half the world?
The idea of re-attaching Louisiana to the domain of France, is, perhaps, of all political conceptions, the wisest and the most important. England herself could not avoid applauding the plan of establishing on the terra firma of America, an European power capable of imposing an impenetrable barrier to the torrent which might one day, without that precaution, spread from the North to the South, cover Mexico, the West-Indies, Canada, and shut Europe out from the passage of the Atlantic. Spain, enfeebled, has too many distant possessions to defend and preserve,
to keep the power of the United States within its present limits. Great Britain herself is not in a condition to form a military establishment upon terra firma, capable of infusing the pretensions and rights of Europe upon that part of the world.
It is true that the Government of the Union has promised to other nations to remain within its limits. But do we not know, that in politics the execution of these kind of promises remains always subordinate to a multitude of events and circumstances which cannot be foreseen? And besides, though the Federal Government should renounce for a century all system of aggrandizement, is it nothing to occupy a territory fertile and extensive enough for the support of 100 millions of inhabitants? Is it nothing to rule over 500 leagues of maritime coast to have 50 Isles under the eye and hand, to rain on the Atlantic, and to see itself separated from the South Sea only by savage nations ready to receive the yoke from whatever power shall appear before them in arms? What means this project of civilizing the Indian tribes; and to whom would these people belong but to the Government who takes upon itself to polish them, and which has no rival to fear, being itself alone established in the centre of the new world?
Let it not then be imagined that the plan of uniting Louisiana to the dominion of the French Republic is dictated by ambition, or that it is part of a pure and simple system of aggrandizement. The preservation of the European possessions in the West-Indies has rendered this plan necessary; and the interest of all the maritime powers of Europe is, to see the strongest amongst them form an establishment on the Continent of America, sufficiently imposing and important to serve as a counterpoise to the domination of the United States.

REMARKS.
Some cargoes of Sugar and Coffee have been shipped for France during the last month, but the demand is again become dull, and the prospect of sale for the remaining stocks not so favorable. The demand for most descriptions of Cotton is become of late rather dull, the price of Bowed Georgia, on account of the great importations has rapidly declined, and as the flocks of middling and inferior qualities are large, it seems probable from the dispositions of some of the holders, that prices for a while may be somewhat under the quotations; but with fine cottons particularly superior Sea-Island our market is barely supplied, whilst this continues, prices of such may be supported. Hispaniola Mahogany in demand, the others rather dull. Fine large wood meets a ready sale, being very scarce. Hides in demand. Demand for Indigo steady. The dealers in Grain, Flour, &c. continue to make their purchases sparingly for home consumption, the export demand is however brisk, the greatest part of our late arrivals of Flour has been purchased at 37s. per barrel, to be shipped for different parts of the continent of Europe:—We believe a considerable proportion is intended for Barcelona. Several cargoes of New-York wheat, have been sold within these last ten days for 9s. 3d a 9s 6d per 70 lbs. Of the future
currency of these articles it is difficult to form an accurate opinion, much depending on the extent of arrivals which may take place.
There is very little demand for Ashes, and the stock of old crushed Pot Ashes in the market is now very considerable.
The price of Rice is precarious, being expected to decline on the arrival of further supplies, which are daily looked for.
The prices quoted for Turpentine, Pitch, Rosin, and Tar, are supported in consequence of the stock at market being small.
Our market is overstocked with inferior Staves of all descriptions, particularly bbl. for which there is no demand. Prime Philadelphia and Baltimore Staves however, bring the highest quotations.
There have been very few arrivals of Timber for some time, in consequence thereof prices have advanced, but may decline somewhat on our receiving further supplies.
Our market continues overstocked with low and middling qualities of Tobacco, and the late for such is dull; but very fine James River is in demand.
