Natchitoches, Sept. 22d, 1805.
Personally appeared before me, John Sibley, one of the justices of the peace for the county of Natchitoches, Francis Grappe, of Gampte, in said county, aged 57, who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that to the best of his knowledge and belief, he was born near the ancient Caddo village on the Red river, which by the course of the river he believes to be upwards of 500 miles above Natchitoches, where his parents then lived, and had lived, he believes, a number of years before he was born, and where they continued to live until he was sixteen or seventeen years of age. As long ago as he can remember he recollects a Mr. Francois Hervey, a French gentleman, who lived there, and who he understood was the first white man that settled there, and that his father settled there about two years after, but he always understood there had been a company of French traders settled for a number of years about 40 miles higher up the river, and that Mr. Hervey was one of them, but they were broke up before he was born; it was always called the Company, and that during the whole time he lived at the ancient Caddo village there were three settled families, besides a number of single persons and a detachment of soldiers assigned by the French government for that post was always fifteen, but he never knew the number complete, and that his father was commandant of the place for many years, and was succeeded by a Mr. Gloso, who continued to be commandant till it was abandoned after the cession of Louisiana to Spain, and that his father, by order of the then governor of Louisiana, built a small fort there, in which were two small pieces of cannon, and in which was a flag staff, on which the French flag was occasionally hoisted. He believes the whole time that that place was occupied by the French as a military post and a settlement of families, was about 30 years, and that the inhabitants pursued the same agriculture that was then common in other parts of the French settlement of Louisiana, viz. corn, tobacco, indigo, cotton and garden vegetables, with some wheat, which grew well, but having no way of manufacturing flour, there was but little wheat raised, though there were a pair of excellent European mill stones and mill irons there, but were not in use in his time; the stones he himself brought down in the year 1778, and they were carried to Opelousas; he understood they had been carried to the Caddo country by the Company, as it was called; and that he has knowledge of a French trading establishment being at a place called the Daut, on the Sabine river, near where the Mandato Indians now live, and that it was an ancient establishment, and a place of great trade and resort at the time his father's family lived at the Caddos, and that he has several times been at the place; the French flag used to be hoisted there; and there are the remains of the buildings and works now to be seen; and that the Daut is about 150 miles north-west from Natchitoches; and that there was at the same time a similar trading establishment and a number of settled French families at the Yattasse Point, on the south-west division of Red river, about 25 leagues above Natchitoches, on what is now called the Bayou Pierre settlement, which is now under the jurisdiction of Spain, and which place is now, and ever has continued to be, occupied by French inhabitants, and that some of whom have ancient French grants or titles for their lands, and that Mr. Verge, who lived there for many years before Louisiana was ceded to Spain, had the exclusive Indian trade granted him by the French governor of Louisiana of the Troiscannas, or Tauacanos, the Keyekies, Yattasses, and several other tribes that then lived on the river Sabine, and southward and westward of it in what is now called the province of Texas.

Natchitoches, Oct. 2d, 1805.
Personally appeared before me, John Sibley, one of the justices of the peace for the county of Natchitoches, Gaspard Dubin and Andrew Chamar, all of Natchitoches aforesaid, who being duly sworn, deposed and said, that, on the eighth day of September last, they (the deponents) were all travelling in company from Natchitoches to Opelousas, on the usual road; and that, when within 14 or 15 miles of the Opelousas church, they were met by five armed Spanish soldiers on horseback, who drew their arms upon them and ordered them to stop: one of the deponents (Madam Bodin) who speaks Spanish well, asked the one who appeared to be the commander of the party, what business he had to order them to stop, that they were all Americans, and that was American ground. The commander of the Spanish party replied, that he had a right to command there, and would do as he pleased; and that he must have such a horse for the use of the king, (pointing to Mt. Chamar's) which he immediately took possession of, and took away with them, proceeding on the Nacogdoche road. And the deponent, Chamar, has never seen or heard of his horse since.

Natchitoches, Oct. 3d, 1805.
Personally appeared before John Sibley, one of the justices of the peace for the county of Natchitoches, Francis Roban of said Natchitoches, aged 21 years, who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that about the 10th of September last, himself, being in the employ of Messrs. Oliver and Case of Natchitoches, was, Joseph Lucas, conducting from the Caddo nation to Natchitoches, eighteen horses, packed with about eleven hundred deer skins; and, in the Bayou Pierre settlement, they stopped for the night at the plantation of a Mr. Pisol.
Next morning the deponent had occasion to go to the house of Mr. de Soto, about half a league distant, who is a syndic, and at whose house the detachment of Spanish soldiers or guard is stationed. Soon after his arrival at de Soto's house, a corporal of the guard called him into a small apartment in de Soto's house under pretence of speaking to him. As soon as he entered the room the corporal told him he was a prisoner, and placed a centinel at the door; then told him they wanted to take Oliver and Case, or either of them; and if they did not find them, he the deponent should pay for it. They kept him confined in the room from about eight in the morning till one (afternoon.) They then removed the deponent on his own horse—with one armed soldier before him and another behind, and ordered him to shew Oliver and Case.
He conducted them in that manner about eight miles where he understood Mr. Case had been to Mr. Doley's. Arriving there, and not finding him, the deponent was left at Mr. Doley's under a guard, and the corporal went to some houses hard by, in the neighborhood to search for him, but could not find him after which they sat off in the same order in which they came, to return back to Soto's. On the way they discovered a fresh trail of horses crossing the road, & leading from Mr. Pisol's plantation towards the plantation of Mr. Robban, which they concluded to be the trail of Lucas, with the packs, &c. The deponent then attempted to escape from them, but was overtaken and tied with his hands behind him, with a coarse hair rope; they then put him on his horse, one of the Spaniards leading his horse by a rope, and another following behind and holding the other end of the hair rope with which the deponent's hands were tied. It was at this time, towards eight in the evening, the moon shone bright; they followed the trail leading towards the plantation about two miles and a half, and found all the horses grazing. The Spaniards went immediately to gathering them up, and took possession of them all; drove them into a pen belonging to the plantation and placed a guard over them, after which they untied the deponent, drove him into the pen with the horses, and put him under guard amongst the horses the remainder of the night. After the horses and
deponent were thus penned up together, the corporal armed himself with a pair of pistols, and a rope under his coat, sat off for Lucas's camp, the light of which was in sight, saying he would go and tie Lucas. He was gone about a quarter of an hour, when he came running back much out of breath & exclaimed, "Blast the Indian he wanted to shoot me with his arrow!" soon after the Indian came up; the corporal took his gun and presented it at the Indian who replied, "You had best be easy for I am not a child, you may thank me that you are here now." The corporal then spoke to the Indian, told him he was sorry for what he had done, it was in a passion, shook hands with him, &c.
The Indian, who was an Yattasse, then told the deponent to tell the corporal that he (the Spaniard) had wanted to take Lucas, but if he had taken him he should not have tied him or taken him off. The Indian afterwards related to him, the deponent how the corporal came to the fire where Lucas and himself were encamped. Lucas saw him coming and rose up; the corporal called to him and told him he wanted to speak to him; Lucas saw him armed and discovered the rope he had and retreated a few steps from the fire; the corporal told him to stop, or he would shoot him; and Lucas told him he would not stop, and ran off. The Indian at the same moment drew his bow to shoot the corporal, who likewise ran and hid himself in the corn field. The deponent further saith, that while he was imprisoned in the horse pen with the horses, the Indian came into the pen to him, and staid with him the remainder of the night. Some time in the night he proposed to the deponent to assist him and they would tie the two Spaniards and take off the horses; but if he was afraid to attempt that, he the Indian, would kill them both if the deponent would consent to it.
The deponent farther says, that the next morning the Spaniards sat off, with him & all the horses, for De Soto's house, and as they were going by Mr. Pisol's house, on their way, he requested leave to go in to get a drink of water, and made his escape out of the back door, hid himself in a cotton field, from thence into a thicket, where he remained hid till night, leaving horse, saddle, and bridle at Mr. Pisol's gate, which two Spaniards took off.
In the evening he came into Mr. Pisol's house; Mr. Pisol gave him some victuals and advised him to make the best of his way for Natchitoches, for the Spaniards were determined to catch him, and had given him positive instructions to take him if he could, bind him and bring him to the guard; and that they had started off all the horses for Nacogdoches. The deponent set off immediately and traveled all night, avoiding as much as he could the main road, understanding that there were Spaniards posted on the road to way lay him. About an hour before day light he arrived at Mr. Doley's and found the Spaniards had arrived there with all the horses before him, and a centinel guarding them, his own horse among the rest. Further the deponent saith not.

Extracts of letter from governor William C. Claiborne, to the secretary of war, dated
NEW-ORLEANS, March 15, 1805.
SIR,
In consequence of a letter I received from Mr. Joseph Chambers, the United States factor at fort St. Stephens, informing me that he had a quantity of peltry, &c. ready for exportation, and desiring that I would make arrangements with the Spanish authorities to secure to articles to and from the factory a passage free from interruption or duties, I addressed to the governor of West Florida (who is now in this city) a letter, of which the inclosed, No. 1, is a copy, and on this day I received an answer, of which No. 2, is a copy. From these Documents you will discover, that the interest of the factory is, in a measure, subjected to the caprice of a Spanish officer."
Copy of a letter from Governor Claiborne, to governor Folch, dated,
NEW-ORLEANS, March 7th, 1804.
SIR,
The President of the United States, with a view to preserve a good understanding with the Choctaw Indians, has established a factory, or trading house at fort St. Stephens, on the Tombecbee. The goods transmitted to this factory, and the peltry, &c. exported therefrom, are the
property of the United States, and I persuade myself that on their passage by way of Mobile, no duties will be exacted or interruption offered by the authorities of Spain.
I beg leave to remind your excellency that by a treaty between the United States and his Catholic Majesty, they are mutually bound to restrain the Indians within their respective limits, from committing hostilities against the adjacent settlements of either power. The prosperity, therefore, of the factory at fort St. Stephens, is interesting to both our nations, since the influence which the American government may acquire in the Choctaw councils may be used not only to secure peace and stability to our own frontiers, but to the dominions of his Catholic majesty.
Accept assurances of my great respect and high consideration.
Signed
WILLIAM C. C. CLAIBORNE
His excellency governor Folch.
Copy of a letter from Governor Folch, to governor Claiborne, dated
NEW-ORLEANS, March 15, 1804.
SIR,
In order to answer your letter of the 7th inst. with due propriety, and according to the spirit of the royal orders prevailing on the subject. I consulted the intendant, Mr. John D. Moralis, who has given me his opinion in the following terms:
"My opinion, sir, respecting the particulars related in governor Claiborne's letter to you, is, that we cannot deviate from the order given to us by his Catholic majesty, which I have transcribed to you in my last of the 8th inst. For the same reason, when his excellency, general Wilkinson, requested to allow the pass of two American vessels, one in the spring, the other in the fall, which I did not grant, and his majesty approved my conduct and caused the treaty to be carried into execution."
These circumstances will convince your excellency, that it is not in my power to comply with your request: however, I will represent the case to the king, and inform you of the result as soon as possible.
Accept assurances of my respect and consideration,
Signed,
F. VOLCH.
His excellency gov. Claiborne.
Extract of a letter from Joseph Chambers, United States factor, to the secretary of war, dated
"Chattaw Trading House, April 11, 1804.
"It may not be improper in me to state, that it will be impossible to continue the trading house on the river Tombigby, and to afford to the Indians that friendly accommodation intended by the government, without incurring certain loss, unless we are speedily freed from the heavy exaction of 12 per centum, demanded by the Spanish officers at Mobile, on all exports that pass that post, and the same on imports, making together nearly one fourth per centum."
(To be continued.)
BOSTON, December 25.
By the Louisa, which arrived on Sunday from Liverpool, we have received our files of London papers to the 7th November.
An expedition sailed from the Downs, the 5th November, destined to co-operate with the allied arms on the continent. It consisted of a body of artillery, six British regiments, and the German legion; about 12,000 men.—Generals Burrard and Moore were to command columns of these troops.
The strange conduct of gen. Mack has been as severely ridiculed by the French, as it has been execrated by the Austrians and English. In consequence of his capitulation the archduke Charles; to prevent being surrounded; had been necessitated to quit his strong position on the Adige, and to retreat to the Tagliamento, near the confines of Italy and Austria: where he was taking measures to make a vigorous stand against Massena. By this movement the French have the entire command of the Venetian states.
Our faith in the complete accession of Prussia to the coalition against France is not fully established. The conduct of her monarch is as yet inexplicable. At our last dates he had collected four very formidable armies; commanded by his ablest generals; & had placed them in positions where they may best annoy the French grand army, under Bonaparte should it attempt to approach Vienna. The strongest army; that in Franconia; [amounting to 90,000 Prussians, Saxons, and Hessians] was not very remote from the left flank of the French;

He had discovered the greatest resentment at the violation of his territory by the French emperor, and protested against it in the strongest terms. He had given free liberty to the Russian and Austrian troops to pass through any part of the territory: He had actually marched a body of his troops, and in conjunction with a Russian force, had taken possession of Hanover, in the name of the king of Great Britain, and had re-established the former government: He had apparently inspired the courts of Vienna and London with a confidence in his attachment to them; and his officers had forbidden the entrance of Prussian vessels into French, Dutch and Spanish ports. All these would seem to be sufficient indication of hostility to France; and a determination to make a common cause with the allied powers; but then he had not declared war, nor published any manifesto of his intentions; and it was said [Oct. 15] that the answer of Bonaparte to the Prussian note transmitted by general Duroc, would eventually determine the conduct his Prussian majesty would pursue: and we do not find in the French papers, nor in the communications of Bonaparte to his army, any suggestions of the open hostility of Prussia. Our last London paper (the Courier, of Nov. 7) only says on the subject: "Prussia is committed with the allies, and has adopted a system of conduct decisive of her determination to unite with them against France." Some of the English politicians appeared to be jealous of the friendship of Prussia; and to think that like Bavaria, she can biow hot one month, and cold the next. If she does join heartily in the war, we venture to predict that Bonaparte will not reach Vienna, unless with his hat under his arm — this year.
It is certain the Russian and Prussian troops the last of October had entered Hanover. At the last dates they had passed through Lauenburg, on the Elbe. The Russians entered Boitzenburg, on the Elbe, the 27th October. It was expected a Prussian army would invade Holland.
LONDON, Nov. 5.
His excellency the imperial ambassador count Stauremberg, had contradicted in a letter under his own hand, a statement in a morning paper, in which it was asserted that the tardy advance of the Russians, whose arrival is a full month behind the time it was expected, contributed to the defeat of the Austrians. His excellency says:
"That this statement is completely the reverse of the state of the case, which is that the Russians were full twelve days earlier at their posts than they had promised, or could have been expected; and nothing but the most extraordinary and unprecedented exertions could have effected this promptitude."
November 7.
In the late glorious action, the Royal Sovereign, admiral Collingwood's ship, the Victory, Revenge, Belisle, Temeraire, Bellerophon and Mars suffered most. Captains Cook and Duff, were killed, captain Tyrer wounded. The Royal Sovereign, it is said, had four hundred men killed! Nearly half her crew.
French convoy destroyed. The Egyptian, of forty guns, captain Flemming, has destroyed the greater part of a fleet of 20 sail of French vessels, laden with naval stores and bound from Bilboa to Rochefort. The convoy, a corvette, escaped.
The Rochefort squadron had not arrived in port the 30th Oct. Three per cents, 59 1-2.

Augsburg, Oct. 21.
A report is now in circulation, that the French having passed the Inn in several places, had turned the corps of the enemy's army, which occupied the route of Linz. It was composed of the Austrian division of General Kienmeyer, and of eighteen thousand Russian infantry — This corps had been entirely defeated and dispersed; the Russians in particular have been terribly cut up.
October 22.
At ten o'clock last night the Emperor Napoleon arrived here from Ulm, with several of his generals — He had deprecated before hand all public honors.
At five o'clock last evening arrived the F. M. Barron Mack, accompanied by
two French officers, but he only changed horses and continued his journey towards Bavaria.
This day arrived four divisions from the grand army, near Ulm, here in this city and its neighborhood. The number of all the French being here at present is calculated at thirty two thousand men, the number of horses twelve thousand, besides 8 thousand prisoners and four or five thousand wounded, both Austrians and French. This afternoon at four o'clock, two companies of guards on foot marched up with sixty two colors and standards taken from the enemy under complete military music, to the electoral residence, and presented the same to the emperor in a solemn manner.
October 24.
These 14 days past the streets of our city look like a camp. Every hour troops arrive and others march out.
From four o'clock in the morning till nine, the emperor was engaged in the cabinet with his ministers. From nine to 11 was great council of war, to which the principal of the generals here present were called. In the course of last night four French couriers arrived in Augsburg. The French grand army is now on its march towards the Inn. Seven French army depots and six hospitals are to come to this city. In order to secure the city against a coup d' main, the principal avenues are secured by palisades, and forty cannon are mounted on the city ramparts, which indeed are very insignificant.
At one o'clock this afternoon the emperor and king Napoleon departed from here and from Munich, having taken first a most affectionate leave of his most electoral highness of Trier. The head quarters, general staff, and the French field post office, followed; and just now a part of the Galle Batavian army is marching thro' this city.
The following official Bulletin from the French army in Italy has been published here:
On the 26th Vendemaire (18th Oct.) the Italian army passed the Elsch near Verona, marshal Massena commanded in person. The batteries erected against Italian Verona are taken. At the departure of the courier, who brought this news, 500 prisoners had been made already. The army had advanced towards Vicenza.
Neuremberg, Oct. 23.
We have received here the following official accounts: His majesty the emperor Napoleon had charged prince Murat to pursue a division of 25 or 30,000 men, which was retreating under the command of archduke Ferdinand. — Prince Murat marched from Ulm on the 17th October; he came up with and beat the Austrians on the same day near Nereskellen. On the 18th he took from them 30 cannon and 400 waggons.
Prince Murat surrounded gen. Wernick on all sides, so that he was obliged to sign a capitulation, whereby he obliged himself to lay down the arms, with all the troops he commanded. Contrary to this generals Hohenzollern, Rohan, Mizieri and others, made their escape in the night with all the troops they could carry off. — Prince Murat pursued them, and with much concern found himself obliged to follow them into the Prussian dominions, which they had entered. He abstained from attacking them there, and wished to postpone his vengeance until they should arrive at Egra; but they themselves attacked his van guard near Nuremburgh, supposing it at a great distance from the body of the army.
Prince Murat saw himself thereby obliged to repel force by force, it came to a very serious engagement, whereby 40 pieces of cannon with their powder waggons, 200 baggage waggons, the treasury of the army and two pair of colours; in short, all that the Austrians had remaining of their grand park of artillery, their baggage, their army monies, and their ammunition, fell into the hands of the French.
Gen. Mizieri, who was mortally wounded, was made prisoner, 1500 infantry laid down their arms; 100 cavalry, most all wounded in the different attacks, were made prisoners. Archduke Ferdinand was actually surrounded in the engagement, and only escaped by throwing himself upon the horse of an officer, who was made prisoner by lending it to him. He has only 12 or 1500 cavalry with him, which are the remains of the regiments of cavalry which marched with him from Ulm, and of the army of 80,000 men which he commanded.
October 25.
The dismounted division of dragoons of Gen. Baraguey d'Hilliers of 13,000 men has now received Austrian horses. Prince Murat is appointed general in chief of the
army, which is to operate on the left bank of the Danube; under him stands the Marshals Bernadotte, Lannes, Soult, &c. &c. He went from hence into the neighborhood of Regensburg, and had his head quarters the day before yesterday at Newmarks.
The four capitulations of Ulm, Memmingen, Trochtelfingen and Bopfingen, have appeared in print here, together with the 12th French Bulletin.
From the Mayn, Oct. 18. When the French Emperor came to the destroyed part of the bridge at Donawerth, he caused boards to be laid across, and himself to be led over; and then he cried; come, my grenadiers, ! and every one hastened after his chief.

Political Register.
Alarming —It is reported, that the British government contemplates attempting to put an entire stop to the exportation, by neutrals, of Colonial Productions; of course, to confine the importation to a supply for the consumption of the neutral country. Boston Palladium.
Rumor with her thousand tongues" made our city ring yesterday with great news—a signal DEFEAT of the FRENCH! —70,000 by some, by others 100,000 were reported to have been killed!—all founded it appears on the following extract of a letter, dated Hamburg, October 26, 1805, handed us, and received by a mercantile friend, via Philadelphia.
[Baltimore American Post.]
"The sum of our political news here, is, that the Austrians have been beaten in Bavaria, tho' the French lost more men in killed than the Germans. The Russians have pushed the French back and taken Munich by storm—The archduke Charles has routed the French army under Gen. Massena, in Italy. Five Russian armies each of 50,000 men, are on their march against France. Prussia has openly declared against France. A Swedish and Russian army were crossing the Elbe, the 26th ult. to take possession of Hanover."
On the above the Federal Gazette observes—
[That the above was the current news at Hamburg, when the letter was written, there can be no doubt; but as accounts from Tonningen, to the 12th ult. (16 days later) do not confirm it, the report falls to the ground.]
The Nurse and the Newspaper.
An occasional Epilogue to the play performed by the officers of the Eastern district, for the benefit of the Ipswich Lying in Charity, written by Mrs. I. Cobbald.
[The scene draws and discovers an old Nurse rocking a cradle, a table near her with a bottle, basket, and a newspaper upon it.]
Hush! pretty darling hush! bye, bye, bye, bye There's a good child, so; now it does not cry. What, shall I sing a song, or a story, try it? To keep this little help's babbling quiet? It will not on an honest Nurse's consequence Be the first baby that was lulld with nonsense. Young master sleeps, his caps are neatly laid, His victuals ready, and the cradle made. What shall I do the minutes to amuse? Why though no Scholar I can read the News. But can I understand it? No; I fear There's nothing in my way to study there. Well; let me see.

Dear! Dear! who could have thought it? What's here? All News, as put as if I'd bought it.

That sooths the hour with pain and grief oppress'd, And makes, by timely aid the cottage blest. What honest heart but would rejoice to say, This charity is in a thriving way? Still rich in kind Protectors, may it flourish, And Britain's harder sons and daughters nourish, I'm sure I with it well, and so for certain, Do all our worthy friends behind the curtain.

Then, since 'tis your applause our pangs beguiles, Since our delights are cradled in your smiles, Assist our labours, hush to rest our errors, And give us safe delivery from our terrors.

"Tiempo! que todo muda, El verde manto que," &c.,
FLOWERS are fresh, and bushes green
Cheerily the linnet sing;
Winds are soft, and skies serene;
Time, however, soon shall throw
Winter's snow
O'er the buxom breath of Spring.
Hope that buds in Lover's heart,
Lives not through the scorn of years;
Time makes Love itself depart,
Time and scorn congeal the mind;
Looks unkind,
Freeze Affection's warmest fears!
Time shall make the bushes green,
Time dissolve the winter snow,
Winds be soft, and skies serene,
Linnets sing their wonted strain,
But again,
Blighted Love shall never blow
I have a quantity of Havanna Segars on hand, of the second and third qualities: Also, some good Chewing Tobacco.
