DOCUMENTS ACCOMPANYING THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OF THE 2D INST. [CONCLUDED] COPY. Natchitoches, August 31, 1806.
Sir, By the return of colonel Hopkins, I am honored with your excellency's reply to my communication of the 26th inst.
I continue of opinion that the advance of Spanish troops within a territory claimed by the United States, is evidence of an unfriendly disposition; nor can I perceive any thing in your excellency's letter, which can justify or extenuate the offensive conduct observed towards Mr. Freeman and his associates, or the indignity offered to the Caddo nation to the American flag.
You have not denied, sir, that the French when in possession of Louisiana, had established a garrison on the Red river, far beyond the place where Mr. Freeman and his associates were arrested on their voyage; or that the Caddo Indians were formerly considered as under the protection of the French government. The silence of your excellency on these points, proceeds probably from a knowledge on your part of the correctness of my statements. I shall, however, touch no further on these transactions in my correspondence with your excellency; but will hasten to lay the same before the president of the United States, who will know what measures to direct when wrongs are offered to the American nation.
I cannot, however, refrain from expressing my displeasure at the arrest and detention under your excellency's orders, of the three citizens of the United States, Shaw, Irvin and Brewster; they are charged with no offence which would warrant imprisonment and transportation to St. Antonio. A state of actual war between our two nations could not have justified your conduct towards those unoffending citizens. I can venture to assert that the suspicions of your excellency as to the objects of Shaw, Irvin and Brewster, are unfounded. They certainly could have no particular inducements to notice the positions and movements of your troops. The fact I believe is, that these men were desirous of gratifying their curiosity, and wished your excellency's passports to visit St. Antonio. Under this impression, and from the circumstance that they were within the territory claimed by the United States, I deem it my duty to demand their release, and speedy restoration to their country. It cannot be supposed that the distance to St. Antonio, or their personal convenience, occasioned the escort which attended them. They appear, on the contrary, to have been treated by your excellency as state prisoners, and as such I have information of their having passed through Nacogdoches under a strong guard. Your excellency will recollect that the subjects of his Catholic majesty, are daily in the habit of visiting the post of Natchitoches, and cannot but observe the positions and movements of the American troops; they, however, are permitted to pass without molestation.
A friendly and innocent intercourse between the citizens of the one, and the subjects of the other power, has not as yet been interdicted by this government. I am persuaded, therefore, that your excellency will see that the arrest of Shaw, Irvin and Brewster, was premature, and that their detention is highly improper. I have no personal knowledge of these three men: they are American citizens, and of course under the protection of the government of the United States. In the name of that government, therefore, I do now demand their release, and that they be restored to their country as soon as possible.
Pending the negotiation between our respective governments, I could wish that hostilities should not commence in this quarter, but, if provoked to it, by the unjust aggressions of the forces of his Catholic majesty, the troops of the United States will endeavor to maintain their own and their country's honor.
Lieut. Duforest, of the American army, is charged with the delivery of this letter to your excellency, and to bear me such answer as you may think proper to return. I renew to your excellency the assurance of my respectful consideration. (Signed) WM. C. C. CLAIBORNE. His excellency governor Herrera.
Extract of a letter from general Wilkinson to the secretary of war, dated Head-quarters, Natchitoches, Oct. 4, 1806.
"I yesterday morning received governor Cordero's answer to my address of the
24th ult. continued style of this letter, cover contrasted with those of governor Herrera to colonel Cushing and governor Claiborne, combined to the circumstances of the Spanish troops having recrossed the Sabine to a man, has induced me, on the ground of economy and of expediency also, to discharge the militia who had reached this place, and to countermand those under march, except about 100 dragoons and mounted infantry, whom I shall retain in service (until I am apprized of the determination of the captain general, Salcedo) to watch the movements of our neighbors."
Head quarters of the army of the United States Natchitoches, Sept. 24, 1806.
Sir, After the recent communications which have passed between his excellency governor Herrera, colonel Cushing and governor Claiborne, and his reiterated repulsion of their reasonable and rightful demands; I will confess to your excellency that nought but the very high and solemn obligations which I owe to humanity, could vanquish the repugnance with which I now have the honor to address you, on a topic profoundly interesting to our respective nations, inasmuch as it may involve a question of peace or war.
The differences of opinion which have prevailed, concerning the contested limits of Louisiana, having been submitted to amicable negotiation by our respective sovereigns; the appeal to rational enquiry is an admission of the dubiety of the right, and therefore should prevent any change of military positions, posterior to the delivery of the province of Louisiana to the United States.
The government of the American union, founded in right, and conducted by reason, has been instructed by the history of other times, how to value the blessings of peace; and being unambitious of conquest or military fame, is desirous to preserve a fair & friendly understanding with all the powers of the earth.
Thus circumstanced, and under daily expectation of a favorable issue to the pending negotiations, it would mark a sanguinary spirit, and be a most ungracious and unwarrantable deed, were the military officers of either government by an act of precipitancy, to frustrate the benevolent views of pacific discussion; and make way for the commencement of hostilities, whose final issue may baffle human foresight, but whose probable consequences would be scenes of revolution and bloodshed, offensive to humanity, and subversive of the general policy of nations.
In this state of things I am ready to pledge myself that pending the negotiations of the two countries, nothing shall be attempted against his catholic majesty's subjects or territories by the troops under my command; unless his officers should attempt, as they have already done, to innovate the "statu quo" at the surrender of the province, by occupying new ground, or erecting new posts, or unless they should trespass on the rights of the citizens, or violate the sovereignty of these states; the former conduct will compel counter movements and occupancies, and the latter will not only justify recrimination, but will infallibly excite it; and thus hostilities may be produced, notwithstanding the peaceful dispositions of the high powers, to whom we are respectively accountable.
When the troops of the United States took possession of this post, the Spanish commandant, from whom it was received, did not define the limits of his jurisdiction; yet it was notorious that Nacogdoches formed the barrier post of the approximate province of Texas. It was known also that controversies had existed between France and Spain, respecting the western limits of Louisiana, and we had been assured by monsieur Laussat, the French commissioner, who delivered the province to the United States, that the pretensions of France went so far west as the Rio del Norte. But we were not informed that any line of demarcation had ever been traced to partition these provinces.
Whether such a line of territorial jurisdiction had ever been established or not, been the provinces of Louisiana and Texas, one had been rendered indispensable by the sale of the former to the U. States, for the administration of justice, the security of property, and the prevention of hostile collisions; and these states with pretensions far more extensive, adopted the Sabine river as the most obvious, most convenient, most natural and least exceptionable temporary boundary.
I am therefore, sir, commanded by the president of the United States to inform you, "that the actual quiet possession of
the country by the U. S. east of the river Sabine, ought and will be considered as fully within the limits of the country surrendered to the U. S. on taking possession of this place, and therefore any attempt on the part of his Catholic majesty's officers to disturb the existing state of things, by endeavoring to occupy any new post east of the Sabine, or westward or northward of the former boundaries of what has been called West Florida, must be considered by the government of the U. States as an actual invasion of their territorial rights and will be resisted accordingly." While I submit these commands to your grave consideration in the hope they may have due weight, it becomes my duty to demand from you the withdrawal of the troops of Spain to the west of the Sabine.
My sense of the high respect due from one old soldier to another, prohibit the idea of menace, but as our honor forbids stratagem or deception, before our swords have been drawn, I owe it to my own fame and to the national character, to warn you that the ultimate decision of the competent authority has been taken, that my orders are absolute and my determination fixed, to assert, and (under God) to sustain the jurisdiction of the U. S. to the Sabine river against any force which may be opposed to me.
Retire sir, I conjure, you the troops of your command, from the ground in controversy, and spare the effusion of human blood, without prejudicing your own honor, or the substantial interest of his majesty, your royal master.
Colonel Thomas H. Cushing, chief lieutenant of the army of the U. States, has my orders to deliver this letter to you and to wait a reasonable time for your answer.
I pray God to keep your excellency in his holy protection for many years, and have the honor to be
Your most obedient, And humble servant, J. WILKINSON. His Excellency Gov. Cordero, &c.
Nacogdoches Camp, Sept. 29th, 1806. EXCELLENT SIR,
By the hands of colonel Thomas Cushing chief of the general staff of the U. S. army, I have had the honor yesterday to receive your excellency's letter, written from your head quarters at Natchitoches.
Being unauthorised to enter into a discussion of the serious and interesting matters on which you treat, I hope your excellency will excuse me for transmitting your letter with the utmost celerity to the hands of the captain general brigadier general Salcedo, under whose orders I am, and I shall transmit to your excellency his answer in the same manner, by the hands of an officer of my staff.
While thus acting, I have the honor to offer to your excellency my respectful consideration, praying God to keep you alive many years.
I am, sir, your excellency's most humble and obedient servant, (Signed)
ANTONIO CORDERO. His excellency Don Jas. Wilkinson; governor of Louisiana, and general of the army of the U. S. of America.
Extract of a letter from general Wilkinson to the secretary of War, dated Natchitoches, October 21 1806.
"Accidental causes having delayed the bearer, I am enabled to transmit under cover the answer of governor Cordero to my note of the 4th inst. of which a copy has been forward, and a duplicate will accompany this.
"I send you a literal copy of the governor's letter in place of a very imperfect translation, which, however, goes to remove all doubts of the continued pretensions of the Spaniards to extend their jurisdiction to the Areoya Fea, within seven miles of this post, and forms my determination to advance to the Sabine, for which point, my arrangements being completed, I shall march to-morrow morning; but agreeably to the request expressed in a former letter, I intend to propose to the Spanish commander the withdrawal of our troops respectively to the points of occupancy at the period of the surrender of the province to the U. States, and in case of his refusal I shall be governed by circumstances.
"I am informed the governor general Salcedo, was to be at Natchitoches on the 22d proximo."
Head Quarters Natchitoches Oct. 4th, 1806 SIR,
I have had the honor to receive your excellency's letter of the 22d proximo, by
colonel Cushing, and shall expect an answer of his excellency the captain general Salcedo, with solicitude.
In the mean time I shall move toward the Sabine, and to prevent misinterpretation of my motives, I consider it proper to apprise you, that my movement is made solely to defend the pretensions of the U. S. to the territory east of that river, and with the intention against the troops of Spain.
This step has been rendered essential to the honor of the United States by the movements and occupancies of his excellency governor Herrera, and it is justified by the position which the troops of your excellency's command have been taken immediately on the western bank of the Sabine, sixty miles advanced to Nacogdoches.
I avail myself of a casual but convenient conveyance, and I pray God to keep you in his holy protection for many years. J. WILKINSON
His excellency Antonio Cordero, commander in chief of the troops of Spain on the eastern frontier of the province of Texas.
NEW-YORK, December 4.
Latest intelligence from Europe By the Danish ship Providence, the editors of the New-York Gazette have received Hamburg papers to the 10th of October, in which the following Transactions are made.
The news now given is important, because it plainly shews a determination on the part of the Confederated Powers, to check the progress of the ambitious Corsican at the point of the bayonet—it will be good for the world if they succeed.
Cleves, Sept. 26. —The military preparations on the part of the Prussians and French are very formidable. Exclusive of the great French army which is still in Germany, and which actually amounts to 160,000 or 170,000 men, another army of 100,000 is collecting in the vicinity of Wesel.
Emmerick, Sept. 28. —We have just learnt that the whole camp of Zeitz, of 16,000 men, has broke up and marched towards Wesel, to be quartered in the vicinity of that fortress.—Their head quarters will be at Wesel, which fortress will be placed in a respectable state of defence.
Prague, Sept. 25. —A cordon of nine regiments of infantry and three regiments of cavalry, has been ordered to march partly towards Saxony and partly towards Anspach and Bareuth. It will be commanded by a field-marshal lieutenants—Kerpen, Gottesheim & Hohenlohe Bartenstein. A second one is ordered to advance from Austria.
Merseburg, Sept. 30. The Prussian army now concentrated in Saxony, amounts to about 150,000. The troops of Saxony have already joined those under Hohenlohe, who has in consequence dispatched several regiments to the main army. The corps under general Kalckreuth has already arrived from Pomerania, and joined the army.
The corps under the Duke Eugene, of Wurtemberg, has broke up from the vicinity of Nordhausen, and is marching by forced marches towards Westphalia. General Le Con passed through Heiligenstadt the day before yesterday, in order, as is reported, to take the command in chief in Westphalia.
Hague, Sept. 30. Mr. Hope, of Amsterdam, arrived here a few days ago, and has frequent conferences with our government, which are supposed to relate to a loan for the expenses of the present war.
October 4. His majesty the king received a courier last Wednesday, at the moment when he was going to set out for the army at Ziest, and had given all the necessary orders for that purpose—after the arrival of which he put off his departure, for an unlimited time. He immediately after on the same day, held a cabinet council, and it was determined to call an extraordinary assembly of their mightinesses, for which purpose the necessary circulars to the absent members were issued without delay. It is said that his majesty would personally make some important communications to their high mightinesses on the state of the finances.
FRANKFORT, on the Main, Oct. 3. His majesty the emperor Napoleon arrived here from Metz, in the night between the 1st and 2d instant, accompanied by his brother prince Jerome, and many eminent military officers. His majesty set out from hence for Aschaffenburg.
VIENNA, Sept. 24. His majesty the emperor set out for Austria to view the arrangements mak-

ing there for the defence of the country, in the vicinity of the city of Emms, and along the river of the same name. For his reason the archduke Charles will also set out for that quarter at the end of this or the beginning of the next week.
On the same day his royal highness the archduke Joseph departed from Ofen, and the archdukes Anthony, Rainerus, and Lewis accompanied him, and will take a trip to Agtam on a visit to the Banus of Croatia, general count Gyulay.
Under the present existing circumstances in Europe and the North of Germany, his majesty the emperor has determined to adopt an armed neutrality.
Orders have been issued for the frontiers of the Austrian monarchy, and particularly those parts which may probably become the vicinity of the scene of war to be strongly occupied by troops; and it is reported that the archduke Charles will set out next week for the frontiers of upper Austria and Bohemia.
On account of the usual autumnal manœuvres, all those absent from the army on furlough have been called in.
The emperor has accepted the offer of the lower Austrian provinces of furnishing the forced loan of seventy three millions ALONE, and has declined the similar tender of the commercial interest of Vienna.
TRIESTE, Sept. 14.
According to letters of the 4th instant, from Cataro the Russian commandant still refused to surrender it, and many Grecian families had petitioned the court of Russia for protection, as they would otherwise be threatened with the most dreadful massacre in their province.
BRANNAU, Sept. 20.
Every thing remains quiet here until this day. The French are no longer engaged in repairing the fortifications of this city. The Austrian troops hitherto encamped at Salzburg, are for the greater part retreating; and many furloughs for four & six months are granted from the infantry and cavalry regiments.
MUNICH, Sept. 23.
Marshal Soult will remove his head quarters to Ratisbon; and the French army will be posted on the Danube, and the Bavarian on the Inn.
The war tax of twelve and an half per cent, has occasioned the greatest sensation here among the citizens. The pressure of the times will no doubt soon become so hard, as to render the issue of some kind of paper currency necessary.
RATISBON, Sept. 26.
The French troops hitherto assembled in Bavaria have formed a camp for general muster near Landshut. From thence they are to break up for Franconia, and are chiefly destined for Bamberg. On their march they will halt here, and the head quarters of Marshal Soult will remain here some time.
It is said that general Mack has been condemned to death by court martial; but the sentence is still subject to the ratification of the emperor.
Berlin, September 30.
The French ambassador lately received two couriers within the space of an hour, and he has since been observed to make unusual preparations for his departure, which cannot, however, take place, until his passports arrive here from the royal head quarters. It is said that he will be appointed ambassador to Vienna, and immediately proceed thither with his lady & daughter.
Marquis Lucchesini is expected here to day from Paris.
Mr. Durand, French ambassador at Dresden, obtained his passports on the 23d, and departed the next day.
Hamburg, Sept. 26.
Baron Jacobi, who passed the last eight days here, set out this morning for London, after having received a courier yesterday from Naumberg, the Prussian head quarters.
October 9.
From all the latest accounts, the French army seems to concentrate itself between Hamburg and Wirtzburg, and all the marching divisions take their route in that direction.
The Russian army under Kutusow and Prince Bagration, on its march to join the Russians, is estimated at 80,000 men.
Altona, October 11.
Bamberg and Wirtzburg, it appears, will be a place of rendezvous for the French army. From thence they are preparing to extend more to the left.
The corps of general Soult forms the right wing, which is in motion all along the Danube. Next to this is the army of the confederacy.
The Prussian army is stationed at Meynigen, Eisenach and Gotha, opposite that of the French. The Prussian head quarters are at Erfurt.
The elector of Hesse Cassel is maintaining an armed neutrality.
It is said that two Russian armies of 50,000 men each, are rapidly advancing towards the Prussian armies, and, if we might form an opinion, from the large military stores collected in Liebau, a third Russian army is expected.
The Prussian army of reserve, assembled at Kostris, is advancing along the Spree towards Berlin.
Should both armies take the field with an equal ardor for conquest, more blood will be shed in this than any former campaign ever recorded in the annals of the world.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, December 6.
The ship Walker captain Barney, after being detained at the Hook for several days by foggy and tempestuous weather, came up last evening. She left Liverpool on the 14th of October, and brings London papers to the evening of the 11th, and Liverpool papers to the 13th; one day later than our advices by the Ceres.
Our intelligence from the continent of Europe, contained in these papers, extends only to the 3d of October: we had previously translated for the Mercantile Advertiser continental news to the 11th, by way of Altona. The only interesting articles, therefore, of which we had no previous account from any other quarter, are
That baron Jacobi, the Prussian minister, arrived in London from Hamburg on the 10th October, in a British packet, which had sailed up the Elbe for the purpose of receiving him.
That on the moment the signal was given of the recall of lord Lauderdale from Paris, three or four armies which were afloat were sent to hurl the vengeance of the British thunder against the commercial resources of her enemies in Italy, Africa and America, their particular destination not mentioned.
That the king in council had issued an order permitting for six months the importation of several articles of provisions free of duty; and another authorising the importation and exportation of various articles into and from Rode Harbor in the island of Tortola.

RICHMOND, Dec. 5.
General Assembly of Virginia.
The Legislature of Virginia have not yet entered upon any business of considerable importance. The house of delegates have principally spent the three last days in the usual manner, in receiving and reading petitions. There are some readers however who delight in such dull but useful chronicles of roads, bridges, ferries & inspections; and such we shall attempt to gratify, by giving copious extracts from the Journals in our next paper.
On Tuesday the speaker proceeded to name the members who should constitute the standing committees of the house.
A committee of courts of justice was appointed "To take into their consideration all matters relating to courts of justice and such other matters as shall from time to time be referred to them; and report their proceedings with their opinion thereupon to the house; and also to examine what laws have have expired since the last session, and to examine such temporary laws as will expire at the end of the present session, or are near expiring, and report the same with their opinion which of them are fit to be revised and continued."
A committee of Claims was appointed, to "take into their consideration all public claims to them referred, and to report their proceedings with their opinion thereupon to the house."
A committee of Propositions and Grievances was appointed to "take into consideration all propositions and grievances which may come legally certified to this assembly, and report their proceedings with their opinion thereon to the house."
A committee of Privileges and Elections was appointed "to examine in the first place all returns for electing delegates to serve in this present general assembly, and to compare the same with the form prescribed by law; and take into their consideration such matters as shall or may come in question concerning elections and privileges; and report their proceedings with their opinion thereupon, from time to time to the house."
A committee of Finance was appointed. Also a committee to examine the executive expenditure for the last year.
Also a committee to examine the clerk's office.
The appointment of officers will furnish a more interesting subject of enquiry. — On Tuesday the Rev. Mr. Courtenay was nominated as Chaplain to the house of delegates, which was superceded by the previous question, whether any Chaplain at all should be appointed. This question was decided in the negative by a majority of 2 votes.
On Wednesday, after having pronounced a very handsome eulogium on the lamented and venerable George Wythe, Mr. Harvie submitted a resolution, that the house should testify their respect for his memory by wearing a badge of mourning for thirty days. This resolution was unanimously adopted. He was succeeded by general Minor, who recommended Creed Taylor, Esq. as the successor of this illustrious judge.
Agreeably to a joint resolution, both houses proceeded yesterday to ballot for a candidate to fill this important office: when the appointment of Mr. Taylor was confirmed, without any opposition, and with ONLY two dissentient votes.
The house next proceeded to the appointment of governor or chief magistrate of
the commonwealth, when W. H. Cabell, was re-elected without the slightest opposition.
Mr. Samuel Pleasants was also re-elected printer to the state, without any opposition.
The legislature have determined by a joint vote, to proceed to-morrow to the choice of a candidate, to supply the vacancy in the executive council, occasioned by the death of Lyne Shackelford, esquire.
It is impossible as yet to anticipate the measures which may be called up in the legislature. A reform in the courts of justice, particularly the court of appeals, has been mentioned; and leave was yesterday given to bring in a bill to amend the judiciary system, which is supposed to embrace this object. As to the revenue system of Virginia it is difficult to say whether any amendment will be attempted. The governor's communication has sufficiently proven that some amendment is essentially necessary to secure the credit of the state, and to advance our public institutions.
The senate formed a quorum on Tuesday and re-elected their former officers.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9.
Extract of a letter, received by the last mail, dated the 9th ult. at Frankfort, Kentucky.
"There is nothing talked of here but the impeachment of judge Sebastian as a Spanish pensioner, holding an office under the Spanish government, and the arrest of Col. Burr."
"The legislature is now in session and occupied about the election of a senator to Congress. Adair, Pope, and general Hopkins are the candidates. There is much canvassing, and it is said that Burr is anxious for the re-election of Adair. "The Western World" has insinuated that Adair will be implicated in the Spanish conspiracy, and some members of the legislature have pledged themselves to prove it. In consequence of which the election is postponed ten days from this."

Valuable Family Medicines.
Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all moving weak and decayed constitutions so common in that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent fevers and agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysentery, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, be speak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholics, Catarrhals, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Biliary Pills or Family Phylic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of their eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colds and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, diz ziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysen tries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle— price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste.
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbatic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservati on of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivalled. The most authen ticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in ex treme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.
Dr. Cooley's Vegetable Elixir; Or Cough Drops,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, Spitting of blood and all diseases of the lungs. Its merits stand unrivalled. Price 50 cents a bottle.
