Extract of a letter from Don Pedro Cevallos, minister of state of his Catholic Majesty to Charles Pinkney, esquire dated at the Pardo, 10th February, 1804.
TRANSLATION.
"At the same time that the minister of his Majesty in the United States is charged to inform the American government respecting the falsity of the rumours referred to, he has likewise orders to declare to it that his majesty has thought fit to renounce his opposition to the alienation of Louisiana, made by France, notwithstanding the solid reasons on which it is founded: thereby giving a new proof of his benevolence and friendship towards the United States."
Copy of a letter from the Marquis of Casa Yrujo to the Secretary of State.
TRANSLATION.
SIR, The explanations which the government of France has given to his catholic majesty, concerning the sale of Louisiana to the United States, and the amicable dispositions on the part of the king my master towards these states; have determined him to abandon the opposition, which at a prior period, and with the most substantial motives, he had manifested in that transaction. In consequence, and by special order of his majesty, I have the pleasure to communicate to you his royal intentions on an affair so important; well persuaded that the American government will see in this conduct of the king my master, a new proof of his consideration for the United States, and that they will correspond with a true reciprocity with the sincere friendship of the king, of which he has given so many proofs.
God preserve you many years. Philadelphia, 15th May 1804. James Madison Esq.

A summary description of the lead mines in Upper Louisiana; also an estimate of their produce for three years past.
St. Louis, June 16, 1804.
SIR, In consequence of a request made me by captain Lewis, before he left this, I now do myself the honor of enclosing you a copy of a dissertation on the lead mines
in upper Louisiana, furnished me by Moses Austin, Esq. This gentleman owns an extensive mine, situated about thirty-eight miles back of St. Genevieve, which he has worked for some years past; and from his education and experience, I conceive him to be better calculated to give correct information on the subject than any other man in this quarter.
I am sir with sentiments of high respect, Your very humble servant, AMOS STODDART, captain and first civil commandant of Upper Louisiana.
The president of the United States.
A summary description of the lead mines in Upper Louisiana—to which is added an estimate of their produce for three years past—also a table shewing the increase of population in their vicinity, since the year 1799—Hastily drawn at the request of captain Amos Stoddart first civil commandant of upper Louisiana.—To whom it is respectfully submitted by his very humble servant, MOSES AUSTIN.
SIR, Agreeably to your request, I have annexed a memorandum of the number, extent and situation of the lead mines in Upper Louisiana, with an estimate of the average quality of mineral produced, and the number of hands employed at each mine; with the probable quantity which may be annually produced, when the country becomes populated so as to afford workmen sufficient to occupy the mines to advantage.
Names of the mines.
 1. Mine a Burton.  2. Mine a Robuna.  3. Old Mines.  4. Mine Ranault.  5. Mine a Maneto.  6. Mine a la Plate.  7. Mine a Joe.  8. Mine a Lanye.  9. Mine a la Mott.  10. Mine a Gerbore. 
1. The Mine a Burton, situated 33 miles west north west of Genevieve, was discovered by Francis Burton, about the year 1763, on a fork of Grand river, 10 miles from its junction with the main river, after which it takes the name of Ranault's fork of the Merimak, and unites with that river, about 25 miles above its junction with the Mississippi. The Fauche Ranault is navigable in the spring season, within 10 miles of the mine a Burton. In the year 1798, a concession of one league in surface, comprehending about one third part of the mine (on condition he should erect a smelting furnace, and establish a lead manufacture) was granted to M. Austin; all of which he has carried into execution. Francis Burton, also obtained a grant of four acres, as a compensation for the discovery.
There is a small village at this place, of twenty families, who cultivate a little land near the mines; but have no concessions. Two grist mills, with a saw mill, furnish the inhabitants with grinding and plank.
The greatest part of the workings at the Mine a Burton, are in an open prairie which rises nearly an hundred feet above the level of the creek. The mines may be said to extend over two thousand acres of land: but the principal workings are within the limits of one hundred and sixty acres; and perhaps no part of the world furnishes lead ore in greater quantities and purity. The mineral is found within two feet of the surface of the earth, and it is seldom the miners dig deeper than ten feet not that the mineral discontinues, but because they find it troublesome to raise out of the ground; The French miners being unacquainted with the utility of machinery, and generally are able to procure in plenty nearer the surface.
The manner in which the mines have been wrought, renders it impossible to determine whether the mineral terminates in regular veins or not; for when the miner finds himself ten or twelve feet below the surface, his inexperience obliges him to quit his digging and begin anew, notwithstanding the appearance of mineral may be good. Thus one half his time is taken up in sinking new holes or pits.
The mineral is of two qualities, gravel and fossil mineral. The gravel mineral is found immediately under the soil, intermixed with gravel, in pieces from 1 to 50 pounds weight of solid mineral. After passing through the gravel, which is commonly from three to four feet, is found a sand rock, which is easily broken up with a pick, and when exposed to the air, crumbles to a fine sand. This rock also continues five or six feet, and contains mineral
nearly of the same quality as the grave but mineral of the first quality is found in a bed of red clay, under the sand rock, in pieces from ten to five hundred pounds weight, on the outside of which is a white gold or silver coloured spar or fossil, of a bright, glittering appearance, as solid as the mineral itself, and in weight as three to two; this being taken off, the mineral is solid, unconnected with any other substance; of a broad grain, and what mineralogists call potters ore. When it is smelted in a common smelting furnace, it produces sixty per cent. and when again smelted in a slag furnace, produces fifteen per cent. making cleanly smelted, seventy five per cent. The gravel mineral is in crustated with a dead grey substance, the eighth of an inch in thickness—has small veins of sulphur through it, and will not produce more than sixty per cents, when cleanly smelted.
When I first knew the Mine a Burton in the year 1797, the French smelted their mineral in stone furnaces, some what similar to lime-kilns. At the bottom they put a floor of the largest logs to be found, setting smaller ones round the sides of the furnace. In a furnace thus arranged, is put from three to five thousand pounds weight of mineral; and a fire being lighted under the bottom of the furnace, is kept up until the mineral is entirely smelted, burnt or lost in the ashes. In this way, each miner smelted his own mineral, extracting about three hundred and fifty pounds of lead from each thousand pound weight of mineral. But since my works have been established, they have found it more advantageous to sell their mineral than to smelt it themselves.
In the year 1798, there were twenty French furnaces: but in 1802, one only was in use.
The time for working the mines, is from August to December. After harvest the inhabitants of St. Genevieve and N. Burton, resort to the mines; the rich send their negroes, and the poor class depend on the mines to furnish them with lead to purchase all imported articles. From the middle of August to the 15th or 20th of December, there are from 40 to 50 men employed in digging mineral: the remainder of the year, little mineral is drawn from the mines, and but few hands employed. From the year 1798 to 1803 the average quantity of mineral may be stated at five hundred and fifty or six hundred thousand pounds French weight each year; procured mostly in four months, by not more than fifty men. The same number of hands employed the year round, would produce at least fifteen, or sixteen hundred thousand pounds, making proper allowance for spring rains. From the extent of the mines one thousand men might be employed to equal advantage.
2. Mine a Robuna, two miles east south east of the Mine a Button, was discovered about the same time. This mine has not been wrought for many years, until the last season, a few experiments were made and a small quantity of mineral raised. The old diggings are not extensive, altho' it is said large quantities of mineral were drawn from the mine on its first discovery. It is public property, and there is every reason to believe will be come advantageous when the population of the country shall afford workmen to open and work the mines.
3. Old Mines, so called, from being discovered many years before the Mine a Burton. It is said the old mines were opened and wrought by Mr. Ranault about the year 1726, at the time he explored this country for the famous Law and Company. It is situated five miles north east of the Mine a Burton, on the discovery of which it was abandoned; mineral being found in abundance at the new mines. The old mines remained in this situation until February, 1802, when fifteen French families made a settlement near the mines, and have formed a village, since which the mines have been opened, and the last year produced three hundred and sixty thousand pounds weight of mineral of an excellent quality, not inferior to the best produced at the Mine a Burton. A gold coloured fossil similar to that found at the Mine a Burton, is also connected with the mineral taken from this mine. (To be continued)

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16.
Mr. King, who arrived at Norwich last week in the Thetis, from Martinique, informs that a few days previous to her sailing, arrived at Trinity a French frigate with 250 troops, cash, &c. going on one of three that failed in company bound to Martinique. The next day after the arrival of the frigate the port of Trinity was closely blockaded by three English frigates, and continued to be so when the Thetis failed.
Letters from New Orleans by the Hiram, captain Talbot, to the 7th inst. announce the continued decrease of the plague pestilence; and add, it does not appear that complete tranquility, under the government of the United States, is immediately to be expected in that colony. The early dissatisfaction of certain French characters, has not been abated by an experience of the benefits of the new administration. Acts of disorder, growing out of a sentiment of repugnance to the American influence are not frequent. It was reported, that the Spaniards were reinforcing themselves in the Floridas. The caterpillars had been very destructive to the crops through the whole country.
By Cap. Gilder, from Cape Francois, we are further informed that the day before he failed, two pilot boat fhs. arrived from N. York, one called the Greyhound, in 16 days; the other commanded by captain Bowie, in nine days; and that a schooner from Baltimore had arrived at Port de Paix. A proclamation was issued three days prior to the sailing of the fleet, interdicting any master or supercargo from retaining any part of their cargoes, and obliging them to sell the whole to the administration. Another proclamation forbids the master of any vessel from secreting on board his vessel or attempting to carry off any of the Emperor's subjects, or French residents, under penalty of forfeiting vessel and cargo, and ten month imprisonment, to any person convicted thereof.
Phil Pap.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cape Francois, dated October 23.
"Since the date of my last, the convoy, which intended to depart the next morning, have been detained until now, by an order from the Emperor, he having been informed that a number of Americans, contrary to the laws of this country, were endeavouring and had actually succeeded in getting off to the fleet a great many persons, to whom the commander in chief here had often refused passports. For a number of days, this clandestine affair was conducted with great activity, but with very little caution; for it was observed with much regret by General Christophe, to whom advice had been given daily of the persons thus embarking; yet he hoped, as the convoy would not be ready to sail for some days, that they would repent their temerity, and again return on shore, in which case, nothing would happen to them."
"In fact it was only two days ago that there was a general assembly of men, women and children, belonging to the town, when the Emperor addressed himself more particularly to the people of colour, assuring them of his will to make them all happy, and would protect them and their families from all kind of insult and violence. Notwithstanding they continued to remain, and others to go on board the ship Pilgrim, whose consignee assured the Emperor he was ignorant of any one being on board but those possessed of passports."
"The vessels still met with detention, and were at a loss how to account for it. At length they were permitted to clear out, and yesterday was the period fixed on for their departure. The preceding night a counter order was given for a general embargo: and in the morning guards were appointed to go and search every vessel in the harbour, when painful to relate they found on board the Pilgrim, 15 or 16 persons of both sexes, whom together with the first officers of said ship, were immediately sent as prisoners on shore; the first to answer for endeavouring to leave the island contrary to law, and Mr. Tate for resisting the guards sent to search the vessel. Three of these unfortunate people, in which number, I am sorry to include poor Tate were hanged on the quay short time after their landing, and so exasperated were the different officers, and soldiers, that it was impossible to afford that unfortunate man the least assistance."
"It is deeply to be lamented, that an act so humane as was the intention of the Americans in this instance, should ill accord with the laws of the country; but as it was our duty as well as safety strictly to adhere to them, this deviation exposed us and the poor creatures we were desirous of serving, to the unhappy issue that has taken place."
The Moniteur of the 26th ultimo contains the following remarks under the date of Frankfort, July 17: "This year will be remarkable in the annals of Meteorology, for the extraordinary variations of the atmosphere; and the number of storms that have followed; thunder, especially, has made ravages of which there are but few examples in Germany; upwards of one hundred houses and edifices in various places, have been struck and in part reduced to ashes, while a still greater number of people have sustained hurt. We have before spoken of the sudden inundations in Saxony, Silesia, Austria, and Hungary, and of the drought in the western parts of Germany, while in the east the rains have been excessive and incessant. We may infer from this singular irregularity of the season, that some revolution has occurred in the interior of the globe, which has deranged the usual equilibrium, and occasioned a sudden and considerable increase of the electric fluid in the atmosphere."

JACQUES, Emperor of HAYTI.
Translated for the True American.
LIBERTY OR DEATH.
DECREE.
Jacques the First, Emperor of Hayti.
Being informed that the captains of American vessels, that arrive in the different ports of our Empire, make a practice of selling their cargoes, wholesale or retail, to small dealers.
Considering that the above practice is prejudicial to commerce, and favors the exportation of all the specie from the Island, we determine to put a stop to it.
We therefore, Decree and ordain the following to be executed in its utmost extent.
Article 1st. We forbid promptly every Captain of a foreign vessel, arriving in the ports of our Empire, to sell their cargoes by retail to small dealers, or private persons.
Article 2d. The merchants established by virtue of our Letters Patent, shall have
the sole power to treat for the cargoes, either separately or jointly.
Article 3d. Every merchant, Foreign or Domestic, who shall receive directly, consignments of vessels, shall not sell the merchandise by retail; and shall conform according to Article 2d, with respect to the sale of their cargoes.
Article 4th. The Merchants established by our Letters Patent, shall not treat with the Consignees of Foreign vessels, until the Administration shall have made choice of such articles as are necessary for the army.
Article 5th. Any person or persons contravening the present Decree, shall be fined three hundred dollars for the first offence, and five hundred for the second.
We give notice to, and order, the Minister General of Finances, the General of Division and Brigade, the Principal and Private Administrators, to keep under guard, all who shall contravene the above Decree.
Done at our Imperial Palace, at the Cape, the 15th October, 1804, first year of our Independence, and of our Reign the First.
(Signed)
JACQUES, the First. By the Emperor, DIAGOY, General of Horse,
LIBERTY OR DEATH.
DECREE.
Jacques the 1st, Emperor of Hayti.
Taking into view, the Protection, and Good Will, that we show to Foreigners, who transact commercial concerns with us; and who, instead of occupying themselves with their commerce, and respecting the laws of the country with which they deal, are pursuing the most extraordinary conduct, in facilitating the escape of men and women of colour, natives of the country.
We therefore, ordain and decree the following, to be executed to the utmost of its rigor:
Article 1st. Every captain of a foreign vessel, armed or not, on board of whom, one or more persons, natives, shall be found to be carried to a foreign country; such captain shall be arrested and thrown into prison, there to lay ten months, and after that time, to be sent to his own country, with express orders not to return to the Empire of Hayti, at his peril. The vessel and cargo shall be confiscated for the benefit of the Empire.
Article 2d. Every native taken on board such a foreign vessel, shall immediately be shot in the Public Square.
The Generals of Divisions and Brigades and the different Commanders, are charged with the execution of the present Decree.
Done at our Imperial Palace, at the Cape, the 22d Oct. 1804, first year of our Independence, and of our Reign the first.
(Signed)
By the Emperor, CABRONNE, Gen. of Horse, near his Imperial Majesty.
What a fruitful year 1804 has been in the production of Emperors; by accounts from Europe and the West Indies, it has produced no less than four, viz:
Napoleon, Emperor of France, Francis I. do of Austria, Frederick do of Brandenburg, Jacques I. do of Hayti.
As the disorder of Emperor making seems to be contagious, and has spread through Europe, and from thence to the West-Indies, it is hoped our Health-officers, Cutters, Gun-Boats, &c. will keep a good look out, least it should be imported and spread among the Republicans of Columbia.
Sour Grapes.—There has not been for several years so warmly contested an election in Boston as the late one in which the federal candidate for congress supplanted Dr. Eustis. By the returns it will be perceived that there is a difference of only one vote in the number given for the electoral ticket and that for Dr. Eustis: from which it appears that he was unanimously supported by the democrats. But inasmuch as he has lost the election the New York American Citizen endeavours to persuade his readers that the Doctor's failure is owing to a diminution of his popularity among the democrats. The following is the Citizen's paragraph on the subject.
"The Post rejoices at the defeat of Dr. Eustis. Let me tell him in whatever light the circumstance may be viewed in
Boston, the republicans here would rather have an open than a secret enemy. Had Dr. Eustis the power he has not the disposition to render any service to the republican party.—A fig for him."
This same Dr. Eustis, before his election to congress, was a very lion in democracy. Every body was trumpeting his wonderful talents; even some of the federalists were made to dread the consequences of so formidable an opponent on the floor of Congress. He is now down, and we may expect to see every ass plucking up courage to kick at him.
(U. States Gazette.)
As we are daily victims of casualties and disease, the mind of man has ever been employed to prevent the recurrence of the one, and to remedy the other. Self love was, perhaps, the original stimulus that led to these researches; but it is certainly now, in most cases, a benevolent affection of the humane heart that directs the application of their results. If, under this view, I should communicate to a suffering fellow creature the means of relief, though it may differ from the received principle of the science of medicine, and the practice of physicians in a very prevalent and a very fatal disease, the consumption, I hope I shall not be deemed assuming or obtuse. Completely to eradicate this disorder, I will not positively say the following remedy is capable of doing; but I will venture to affirm, that by a temperate mode of living, (avoiding wholly spirituous liquors); wearing flannel next the skin; and taking every morning, half a pint of new milk mixed with a wine glass full of the expressed juice of green hoochound; the complaint will not only be relieved, but the individual shall procure to himself a length of days beyond what its mildest form could give room to hope for. I am myself, Sir, a living witness of the beneficial effects of this agreeable and, though innocent, yet powerful application.
Four weeks use of the hoochound and milk relieved the pains of my breast; gave me to breathe deep, long and free; strengthened and harmonized my voice; and restored me to a state of better health than I had enjoyed for many years. Hence I am emboldened to pray you to make this known through the medium of your paper, that the public welfare may be promoted by the preservation of private worth; that the sacred ties of friendship; the blissful union of love; the high, ennobled, and interesting connexions, of husband and wife, parent and child, may not be suddenly and so frequently severed by the hand of death.
