AFFIDAVIT, No. 5.
Territory of Orleans, County of Point Coupee, Sept. 5, 1805. On this day appeared before me, Ebenezer Cooley, a justice of the peace for the county of Point Coupee, Nathan Kemper, who being duly sworn, declared:
That on the night of the 3d inst. as he believed, between the hours of 11 and 12, the doors of his house were forced open by a party of armed men, amounting, as well as he could ascertain, to the number of 18 or 20; that as soon as the party had entered, they cried surrender, seized his brother Reuben, and dragged him out at the door. After a struggle, during which they had beat him with a club, and so choked him that he had barely power to say, I surrender. During this time a part of the same party seized this deponent by different parts of the body, and dragged him from his bed where he lay with his wife and child, out through the door; after which he heard some of the party who remained in the house cry out, if the bitch utters another word, put her to death. Whereupon he heard a blow given at the bed, and though he frequently called to his wife to know if she was still alive, could get no answer. After the deponent and his brother Reuben had been fast bound, they were conducted along the road leading to Pinckneyville, as far as the plantation of Mr. Abraham Haton, being still within the limits of the Mississippi territory; and thence down the main road leading towards the line of demarcation. At some small distance above the line, they were conducted a short way into the woods, where they halted a considerable time, until he heard a detachment of the same party coming along the main road, to which they were again led back from the wood, & discovered their brother Sam'l Kemper, in custody of said detachment. From thence they were conveyed across the line of demarcation, and delivered to captain S. Alston, by whose party they were put on board a piroque at Tunica landing, under a guard of six armed men, who said their orders were to take them to Baton Rouge, and there deliver them at the fort. From Tunica they departed about day-break, and as they passed along by the shore of Point Coupee, called out that they were American citizens, and clandestinely taken from their habitations within the Mississippi territory. After which they were accused by lieutenant Wilson, commandant of the garrison at Point Coupee. The deponent further says, that among those who surrounded his house, he recognized the following persons: Minor Butler and his brother-in-law Ritchie, Abraham Horton and several of said Horton's negroes, all inhabitants of the Mississippi territory.

AFFIDAVIT, No. 6.
Territory of Orleans, County of Point Coupee, Sept. 5, 1805. On this day appeared before me, Ebenezer Cooley, justice of the peace for the county of Point Coupee, Samuel Kemper, who being duly sworn, declared:
That on the night of the 3d inst. about the hour of twelve, as he believed, being at his house in the town of Pinckneyville, in the Mississippi territory, he heard a knocking at the door, and asked who was there? An answer was made, which he did not understand, and the outer door burst open. The door of the bed room was then forced, and a blow made at the bed with a double barreled gun. Deponent was then seized, and dragged out of the bed by a number of men, who drew him into the room which they had first entered, and from thence, after a struggle, into the street. He was then thrown on the ground, and a rope tied round his neck, by which he was dragged about one hundred and fifty yards. He was then suffered to stand upright, and attempted, by crying out, to give an alarm, upon which he received a stroke of a pistol upon the head, by which he was stunned. The rope being removed from his neck to his arm, he was compelled to run for the space of about a quarter of a mile, after which he was forced to get up behind a man on horseback: a negro who ran on
foot still holding the rope by which his wrist was tied. He was then led along the main road across the line, and delivered to a party of men, who conducted him to the landing of Bayou Tunica. Then he was put on board a piroque, with his two brothers Reuben and Nathan Kemper, and conducted down the river towards Baton Rouge. When opposite Point Coupee, they gave the alarm and were received by lieut. Wilson, commandant of the garrison of Point Coupee.

AFFIDAVIT, No. 7. Territory of Orleans, County of Point Coupee, Sept. 5th, 1805.
On this day appeared before me, Ebenezer Cooley, justice of the peace for the county of Point Coupee, Reuben Kemper, who being duly sworn, declares:
That on the night of the third instant, about the hour of 12, being at the house of Nathan Kemper, within about two miles of Pinckneyville, within the limits of the Mississippi territory, the house was surrounded, and the doors thereof forced open, by a party consisting of at least nineteen persons, whereof some were negroes, and some white men in disguise. That among the latter he recognized and personally knew the following persons: Louis Ritchie, Minor Butler, Abraham Horton, James Horton, and two others, whose names he did not recollect, but expected soon to be able to ascertain, all of whom are inhabitants of the Mississippi territory; and Marcus Carr, James Say, Philip Say, and others, residing within the Spanish lines. Of the negroes, whose number amounted to seven, at least three, whose names are William or Bill, Nat and Moses, and others whose names he did not recollect, he knew to be the property of the above mentioned Abram Horton. That the said party, all of whom were well armed, after having forced their way into the house, violently forced him from his bed room, after a struggle of about 15 minutes, during which he received several violent blows on the head and face; and after having torn off his shirt and tied him with cords, forced him over the line into the Spanish territory, where they delivered him up, with his two brothers, Nathan and Samuel Kemper, bound in the same manner to Solomon Alston, who commanded a large party of armed men. That said Alston received them within 10 or 15 feet of the line on the Spanish side, that from thence they were conveyed to the Bayou of Tunica landing, bound as already mentioned, and neatly naked; were they were put on board a piroque, and there tied all three together, by orders of said Alston. That said piroque was commanded by William Breher, and manned by Charles Stuart, Adam Bengaman, John Ratcliff, George Rowe, and John Morris; that they departed from the Bayou Tunica for Baton Rouge, at day break, where said William Barker had orders to deliver the prisoners up to governor Grand Pre. That as they passed along the shore of Point Coupee, the prisoners found means to declare their situation to Doctor Powles, who immediately gave information thereof to lieut. Wilson, commandant of the garrison of Point Coupee. That lieut. Wilson immediately manned his boat, boarded the piroque, and took the prisoners, with those who conducted them, into custody, about the hour of 12 the same day.

NEW YORK, December 24.
The ship Hare, captain Chew, arrived at this port yesterday, left Gibraltar, the 25th October, in company with the Old Tom, for this port, under convoy, of the United States brig Vixen, Cox; the next day was driven through the Gut, and put into Malaga, from whence they sailed the 4th November and on the day following parted with the convoy off Cape Spartel. On the 23d October a schooner arrived at Gibraltar, with dispatches from admiral Collingwood, advising that lord Nelson's fleet of 27 sail of the line had an engagement with the combined fleets off Cadiz, which lasted 12 glasses, in which 17 of the latter were captured, 2 sunk, and 1 blown up; that lord Nelson, with 7 captains on the English side, were killed, the former in the latter part of the action, having lived long
enough to hear a list of the captured ships read to him. The same evening the Belleisle, of 74 guns, was towed in by the Naiade frigate, having lost all her masts in the engagement.
While at Malaga, Mr. Kirkpatrick, the American consul, received the following statement, from his correspondent at Cadiz:
"An account of the Combined fleets of France and Spain, that sailed from Cadiz on the 19th and 20th of October, and fought the British fleet on the 21st of the same month.
SPANISH SHIPS.
Prince of Asturias, of 112 guns, returned to Cadiz Bay on the 21st October very much damaged, and a great number killed and wounded; amongst the latter admiral Gravina, and his major general Escaro, but not dangerously; on the night of the 23d her main and mizen masts were so crippled that they rolled overboard.
The Santa Anna, struck to admiral Collingwood, who manned her and took out her captain; admiral Haba being wounded, was left by his own choice on board, being entirely dismasted and ungovernable—she fell so near the port of Cadiz, that she was retaken on the 23d by the squadron that went to sea for that purpose and brought into Cadiz harbor.
The Bayo, of 100 guns, was much damaged in the action, but came into port on the night of the 21st. On the 23d in the morning, she got under way with several other ships to retake the St. Anna, which the British were towing off; and in the night of the 23d not being able to make the port, she anchored about 6 leagues distance, and blowing very hard, she rolled her masts that were very much shattered overboard, and was taken next day by the British in sight of Cadiz.
The Montague arrived at Cadiz on the night of the 21st.
San Justo, ditto, ditto. San Leandro, do. do. and next morning while at anchor in the mouth of the bay, she rolled away her main and mizen masts.
The San Francisco, and de Asie, came in on the night of the 21st dismasted, and on the night of the 23d she drifted ashore in Cadiz Bay, near Port St. Catalina, and is totally lost. The part of the crew that were on board, when she went ashore, were saved, having an English prize officer and men on board.
The Neptuno came in on the morning of the 22d, dismasted, drifted ashore in the night of the 23d near St. Catalina, and was totally lost, crew saved, having an English prize officer and men on board.
The San Juan, Nepomano, San Ildefonso, Argonaute, Bahama all totally dismasted, and seen in possession of the English on the 23d.
Notice was given, through the Tower, of one more Spanish ship being in possession of the English; her name not known, suppose her to be the Santissima Trinidad, of 144 guns.
FRENCH SHIPS.
The Pluton came in on the night of the 21st.
Algesiras came in on the night of the 22d, having struck, and been manned by the English, but being totally dismasted and ungovernable, in the night, the English gave the command to the French, on condition they should not be prisoners of war. This ship had above 300 men killed, and among them admiral Magoz.
_____, totally dismasted, struck to, and was taken possession of by the English, but struck the shore, and went to pieces near St. Petre, on the night of the 22d, and every soul, except 25, are said to have perished.
Indomptable, came in on the night of the 21st very much damaged, and is calling for succour at the mouth of the Bay.
Neptune, do. do. do. Hero, do. do. do. L'Achille, blown up during the action, the most of the crew saved.
L'Argonaute, came in on the night of the 21st.
L'Aigle, dismasted, and in possession of the English, but in distress near Forra Gorda, is said to be got off and coming in.
Nov. 5th, Cape Spartel bearing E S E distant 40 miles, capt. Chew fell in with the British fleet of 14 sail of the line under admiral Collingwood; was brought to and boarded by the Martin sloop of war, the lieut. of which informed him Lord Nelson and only 2 captains were killed; that they had 13 ships disabled, which with 4 of the prizes had arrived safe at Gibraltar; that the remainder of the prizes were either destroyed to prevent their falling into the hands of their former possessors, lost on shore, or drifted into Cadiz Bay; that most of the latter class had since been de-
stroyed by the boats from their fleet—the Santissima Trinidad of 144 guns, was destroyed in sight of Cadiz after it was found impracticable to tow her off, and that admiral Villeneuve was on board admiral Collingwood's ship the Dreadnought. On the same day left the fleet in co with the Victory (Lord Nelson's ship) and the Belleisle both under jury masts for England. The lieutenant could not tell the number of killed and wounded as the returns had not then been completed. It was the general opinion however at Gibraltar, that ten thousand men lost their lives in the action.
The Blockade of Cadiz was continued by admiral Collingwood.
Admiral Gravina is reported to have died of his wounds after his vessel had entered the harbour of Cadiz.
Bucentaure, Adm. Villeneuve wounded, totally dismasted and struck to Nelson. The admiral and his captain were put on board a frigate, and the ship manned by a lieutenant and 80 men; in the night of the 22d, the ship being totally dismasted, was blown by the violence of the wind towards the shore, and anchored near the castle of St. Sebastian; the next day the people were taken out, and in about an hour after the ship went down.—Major General Prigney, who was left on board by Nelson, is slightly wounded. At Cadiz 400 men are reported to be killed on board this ship, and most of her officers wounded.
Intrepid, Redomptable, Montblanc, Du guay Trouio, Formidable, Scorpion, Benwick, and Swiftsure. These ships are missing, but as it is known that several of them had struck to the English, it is supposed they are in their possession. A report however prevails that admiral Dumanoir, has escaped with 4 frigates. The bodies of admiral Magoz and captain Villigris, are said to have been found, driven on the Playa, between Cadiz and St. Patrick, where above one thousand bodies have been driven on the shore and the whole beach covered with wrecks of ships.
The five frigates and brigs returned without any material damage.
The L'Aigle is reported to have got off, and at anchor in the channel.

Captain Gorton abandoned the ship, and sailed for N. York.
which says, in every street through which the procession passed the crowd was im- mense, enthusiasm was at its height, the acclamations unanimous!
I will now give you a short extract from a short speech of the emperor Napoleon to the conservative senate on the above day (Sept. 23.)
"Austria and Russia," said he, "have united with England, and our generation is already involved in the calamities of war. The Austrians have passed the Inn. Mu- nich is invaded. The elector of Bavaria is driven from his capital. I am just leav- ing my capital in order to place myself at the head of the army, to carry speedy suc- cess to my allies, and to protect the dearest interest of my people. I tremble at the idea of the blood that must be spilt in Eu- rope: but the French name will emerge with increased lustre. Senators! when at your desire & the call of the whole French people, I placed upon my head the Impe- rial crown, I received from you, from every citizen, the solemn promise to maintain its honor pure and unsullied. My people have on every occasion afforded me proofs of their confidence and affection. They will fly to the banners of their emperor and his army, who in a few days will have pass- ed the frontiers. Magistrates! soldiers! citizens! all are resolved to rescue the country from the influence of England, who, if she prevailed, would grant us a peace marked with ignominy and shame."
"Frenchmen! Your emperor will dis- charge his duty!—my soldiers will do theirs. You will also discharge yours."
Bonaparte's vigilant mind not trusting his loving subjects too far & foreseeing the city might be exposed to new dangers during his absence, on the 16th of September issued an imperial decree, which gives new pow- ers to the commissaries of prison.

It is said to have appointed Jo- seph B. in case of Napoleon's death to be Regent during the Minority of young Na- poleon, son of his brother Louis nominated his successor in France. As to Louis XVIII. and the other branches of the House of Bourbon, they stand a slender chance of ever regaining the throne even if the demise of the present head of the French Government should not be far dis- tant, for the holders and purchasers of one third of the landed property of the Em- pire, wrested by the Revolution from the clergy and the nobles are bound by one common interest to support the existing go- vernment and will support the new family notwithstanding they have usurped the throne.
* Bonaparte had caused it to be made known on the continent that he should consider any in- vasion of the Batavian territory as a declaration of war.

Senate of the United States.
Debate on the motion of Mr. Logan, for leave to bring in a bill to suspend the commercial intercourse between the U- nited States and St. Domingo.
FRIDAY, Dec. 20.
Dr. Logan observed that agreeably to notice, he asked for leave to bring in a bill to prevent the commercial intercourse between the United States of America and the French island of St. Domingo. Dr. Logan observed that the attention of con- gress had been called to this subject by the president of the United States at the commencement of the last session of con- gress in the following words:
"While noticing the irregularities com- mitted on the ocean, by others, those on our own part should not be omitted nor left unprovided for. Complaints have been received that persons residing within the United States have taken on themselves to arm merchant vessels & to force a com- merce into certain ports and countries in defiance of the laws of those countries;— that individuals should undertake to wage private war, independently of the authori- ty of their country, cannot be permitted in a well ordered society. Its tendency to produce aggressions on the laws & rights of other nations, and to endanger the peace of our own, is so obvious, that I doubt not you will adopt measures for restrain- ing it effectually in future."
The first complaint alluded to in the mes- sage of the president is a letter addressed to the secretary of state by the envoy of Great Britain, dated the 31st of August 1804, in which he observes "I have re- ceived information respecting several ves- sels which have of late been armed in, and have sailed from different ports of the U. States, some loaded with articles contra- band of war (gun-powder is said to be the general article) others with cargoes of in- nocent goods, and others again in ballast. —After the diligent inquiry which it has been my duty to make on so important a subject, I think I can have the honor of stating with certainty, that several vessels of the above description, which are men- tioned to be schooner rigged, have sailed lately from the port of Baltimore, whilst others of larger size, even ships of con- siderable burthen and completely equipped for war, have sailed from Philadelphia bound to the possessions of his Majesty's enemies in the East as well as the West Indies. It is said that the object of some of these equipments is to force a trade with the blacks in the island of St. Domingo, in which attempt the public prints have stated so circumstantially, as to leave no doubt whatever on the subject.—that two American vessels have been captured by French cruisers, after making resist- ance. But I have strong reason to believe that the destination of others particularly from the port of Philadelphia have been with cargoes of contraband articles to the enemies possessions in the East and West Indies."
"Let their destination, however, be what they may, it cannot, I conceive, but be justly considered, that such armaments, on the part of the citizens of a neutral state, must be attended with consequences prejudicial to a belligerent power, and may, therefore, be deemed rightly as offensive, for which reason the law of nations has stated one of the first obligations of neu- trality to be that of abstaining from all par- ticipation in warlike expeditions. The arm- ed vessels alluded to, may become the pro- perty of the King's enemies either by cap- ture at sea or by purchase in the ports to which they are destined, and are thus in readiness to be converted immediately into instruments of hostility against his Majes- ty, whilst in another point of view they are calculated to protect, the vessels when they are loaded with contraband articles, against the lawful search and detention, of a law- fully commissioned cruiser, when the lat- ter shall be of inferior force. Indeed I conceive, that it may not be giving too great an extent to the principle of the law of nations, without attending to the nature of the cargo, to consider the very arms, ammunition, and other implements of war, with which such vessels are furnished as contraband articles, when the vessels have been thus equipped without the authority of the nation to which they belong."
"I understand, Sir, the armaments in question have in fact taken place under no commission or authority whatever from the government of the United States. I have therefore thought it my duty to have the honor of making you acquainted with the information that has reached me on this subject, and if the observations which I have taken the liberty to make upon it should happily be conformable to the senti- ments of the American government, I can safely trust to their justice, as well as to their jealousy of observing the most strict neutrality in the present war, to take such measures as shall appear to them the most proper for suppressing the illegal proceed- ings complained of on the part of those in- dividuals, citizens of the United States, who shall appear to be concerned in them."
In a letter from the Charge d'Affaires of France, dated the 7th of May, 1804, and ad- dressed to the Secretary of State, he observes, "The undersigned is informed in a manner which leaves him no room to doubt it, that the Amer- ican merchants, who pursue this commerce (mean- ing the commerce with St. Domingo) publicly arm in the ports of the United States, vessels which are intended to support by force a traffic contrary to the law of nations, and to repel the efforts which the cruisers of the French Repub- lic are authorised to make in order to prevent it. These armaments have also for their object to cover the conveyance of munitions to the re- volted of that colony. The government of the United States cannot be ignorant of these facts, which are public; the consequences thereof have already been manifested in the West Indies, where the public papers advise that there have been actions between the French cruisers and A- merican vessels carrying on this commerce. In considering the matter merely under the view of the law of nations, it is manifest that American citizens, under the very eyes of their govern- ment, carry on a private and piratical war against a power with which the United States are at peace. The undersigned would be wanting in his duty if he did not vindicate, under such cir- cumstances, the rights and dignity of his govern- ment, which are openly injured, and if he did not call the attention of Mr. Madison to the dis- agreeable reflection which the French govern- ment would have a right to make if the silence of the local authorities, respecting acts of this nature, should be imitated by the government of the United States."
"The French government certainly could not see without a profound regret, that after having given to the United States the most marked proofs of the desire to place the good understand- ing of the two nations upon the most immovable foundations, by abandoning national interests which might have eventually produced collisions, individual interest should now be permitted to compromise this good understanding. Its regret would be still much greater, if, when the digni- ty and safety of France are openly injured in the United States, by their citizens, the American government should preserve, respecting these vi- olations, a silence which would appear to offer an excuse and even a sort of encouragement, to all the excesses which cupidity may attempt: Beside that the peace of the two nations cannot but be seriously compromised by the proceedings of the individuals, and by the reprisals to which they must necessarily lead, this state of things would infallibly tend to diminish the amicable disposition, which the two governments wish to cultivate."
Dr. L. observed that the commerce as carri- ed on by the citizens of the United States is not only a violation of the law of nations which the United States as an independent nation is bound to obey; but it is in direct violation of a treaty made in 1800, between the United States and France, a treaty on the most liberal principles as to the rights of neutrals and highly advantage- ous and honorable to both nations.
To remedy the evils complained of a law was enacted during the last session of Congress to re- gulate the clearance of armed merchant vessels; this act has operated as a deception, as since the publication of the law, the trade to St. Domin- go has been carried on to as great if not greater extent than formerly. The only merit of the arming law is, that in a national view it removes the responsibility from the individual who may be engaged in the trade, to the government by which it is authorised.
Whilst we are anxious to have our own na- tional rights respected, is it honorable to violate the rights of a friendly power with whom we are at peace? Or is it good policy to cherish the black population of St. Domingo whilst we have a similar population in our Southern States, in which should an insurrection take place, the government of the U. States is bound to render effectual aid to our fellow citizens in that part of the Union. Dr. L. concluded by observing that in bringing forward the bill under consideration, he was not influenced by views of friendship to- wards England or France, but to preserve the immediate honor and future peace of the United States.

"CONNECTICUT GAZETTE."
This newspaper, though not much known, stands in high repute for the correctness of its po- litics. It says,
"On the subject of our foreign relations, Mr. Jefferson's Message to Congress breathes a lan- guage honorable to him as an individual, and wor- thy the first magistrate of a free people. Ever ready to bestow applause where it is merited; to sacrifice their private injuries on the altar of pa- triotism, the federalists will, while the admin- istration shall shew a disposition to maintain the honor of their country, lend it every support in their power. Recollecting the correct senti- ments, the lamb-like professions, and the magni- ficent promises advanced in Mr. Jefferson's first inaugural speech, we confess we are not without our fears that like them, the present assurances have been given but to be violated. Federalists were then and they now are, disposed to give the administration a fair trial; they were then, and they now are, willing to give their support to a conduct correspondent with Mr. Jefferson's own professions."
"True their opposition has been violent; but it has been honest—its root is principle. They believed Mr. Jefferson and his friends were unfit guardians of the public weal; and they yet have seen nothing to change their belief. It, how- ever, the promised reform is now to take place; if our navy shall again be placed on a respectable footing; if our sea ports shall again be secured, commerce protected, and our language to foreign nations again be the language of independence— Federalists are prepared to withdraw opposition, to bury animosities; they value their country's honor—and as, in its defence, they have the spi- rit to resent, so they had the magnanimity to for- give unmerited persecution."

From the New-York Mercantile Advertiser.
Sr. JOHNS, PORTO RICO, 27th November, 1805. To the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser.
Sir, By giving the following facts a place in your paper, you will much oblige several Americans in this port.
Two American vessels have been sent in here a Spanish privateer, viz. 1st. The brig Polly of Rhode Island, bound to Barbadoes, with a cargo of cattle, horses, fish, flour, lumber, &c. captured on the plea that she had no right to go an English port. 2d. The Schooner Mary Ann, of and from Boston, for Guadaloupe, with a cargo of horses, mules, beef, wine, lumber, hoops, &c. taken the same day, on the plea that her cargo was too valuable for a Tanker to own. The masters have remained here for more than forty days, and have scarcely had what we call trial; for the Judge of Marine, as the chief of the privateer says, has received five hun- dred dollars in cash, one cask of wine, and one of beef, to condemn the vessels, which he immediately did. Seeing and hearing such bare- faced villainy, it was demanded of the Governor to give the vessels a fair trial, which he has done by ordering the Judge of Marine to deliver up the papers, &c. and we are now to be tried by the Auditor of War, whose reputation is that of a very honest man, but the fate of the vessels is not yet known.
We forgot to mention to you that the masters of the above two vessels have been imprisoned with their crews for some time, on account that they prevented contraband goods from being put on board. It would be useless to inform you of all the villainy of the people in this country; suffice it to say that no justice is done here, and that the captain of every American vessel arriving in this port, must be perpetually on his guard, or he will return with little or no cargo, being al- ways surrounded by a band of sharps and pri- rateesmen.
FROM LONDON, Oct. 15—25. [CONTINUED.]
The emperor Napoleon contrived a new and captivating plan to open to his good ci- ty of Paris, the news of the rupture be- tween Russia and Austria, he proposed a magnificent procession to the senate. He knows the character of the French people most thoroughly, and he is seconded by a man of unparalleled address in the arts of popular delusion. He is well aware of the influence of the first impression on the po- pular mind, and how important it is for him to revive that quick and mercurial enthusiasm which has often given such irresistible force to French admiration. If he cannot suc- ceed in winding up their spirits to a point of fury, and in connecting his new strides to universal empire, with the glory of the grand nation, he is irretrievably gone; for his whole dependence rests on the splendor of his name, not on the affection of his subjects. All this was contrived for the effect of the spectacle, and though it is on- ly the stale repetition of a former farce, and though he has been the man to extin- guish every trace of the liberty which the late revolution gave to France, we have no doubt but he raised the acclamations of the people in his favor. Indeed a Moni- teur of the next day (Sept. 23) confirms it,
