Twenty-five Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY, sometime in the months of November or December last, a NEGRO MAN by the name of SAM, who was hired in the town of Alexandria to a Mr. Robert Smith. He was about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight, of rather a yellowish or tawny complexion, stutters a little, has a soft voice, and generally seems humble and timid when spoken to. He had a wife at Col. Jameson's, in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps now be lurking in that neighborhood. But I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland—If he is taken in the state of Virginia and brought to me I will give the above reward; if in the state of Maryland and brought to me I will give Thirty Dollars reward.

WAR WITH BRITAIN.
No. 1.
MR. EDITOR—That the people of this country should unanimously resolve on resistance to the principle, and upon stone, for the practice of the late British outrage, is no less honorable to the soundness of their understandings, than to the nobleness of their hearts. Never tamely to submit to insolence or oppression, but on the contrary, with obstinate, and when necessary with desperate vigor, to repel and punish the oppressor, is the precept of the wise, as well as the virtue of the brave. such were the opinions of Washington; such has been the uniform and unbending policy of his adherents; and no one with principles or feelings of a federalist ever hesitated to admit and support the justness of the maxim. But that we should not only resolve upon resistance, but be pleased and gratified with the prospect of war, that we should urge and goad our government not only to demand reparation for the injury, but to consider it as unappeasable but by blood ; that we should spurn negotiation, reject even the voice of concession, and by senseless and womanish clamor, & vulgar and indecent invective, bar the road to accommodation and destroy both the prospect and the right to atonement; is such a proof of folly, as we have not often exhibited, and displays a vindictiveness of character, which has not hitherto belonged to us.
At a time when we have neither fleet nor armies, nor military skill in employment; when we have no revenues which war would not annihilate; when our naval force instead of being increased and strengthened, has been both weakly and wickedly diminished and enfeebled—when our fortifications are wholly neglected and decayed, and when our conscript militia system is so miserably commanded and organized as to be much more an instrument of oppression at home, than of terror abroad; that such a time as this we should rejoice in the prospect of war demonstrates indeed, a degree of madness which has no rival in annals of popular infatuation.
In the midst however of a real reign of terror, which threatens an influence as stupefying as degrading, I propose at the hazard of proscription, even from my associates, briefly to examine the true merits of this subject, so far as regards the expediency of war. To shew what is our present condition; what we shall suffer from hostilities; how little we can annoy our enemy; how much we may g in from the contest; and what will probably be our situation at peace. Far from intending in any respect, to justify the atrocious violence done to the Chesapeake, or to extenuate the insolence which followed it, I declare without reserve, that if all the parts of that transaction are not disavowed miserable as war will render us, we must resolve to bear its evils. We shall not however from having foreseen its calamities, be less able or willing to endure them, while a just sense of their extent & permanency, may prevent us mistaking a thirst for revenge, for the feelings of honor; or from blindly rushing on a fate which by prudence and moderation, may possibly yet be averted.
First then. Let us shortly consider what is our present condition, and what we shall suffer from war.
It is notorious that we have a commerce, exceeding, with one exception, that of any nation in the world, now unsuspecting and unprotected, open to the gasp of any powerful destroyer; one hundred millions of dollars at a low computation, now riding on the ocean, or in the hands of British merchants and their correspondents, will according to the state of foreign relations at the end of six months, serve either to enrich an enemy or promote American prosperity. We have seventy thousand brave and hardy seamen, no less qualified for naval victory, than commercial enterprise, who by a sudden war will either be thrown into the prisons, or made to fight the battles of their captors. We have a great and flourishing agriculture, nursed and vivified by a foreign commerce which peace alone renders safe or profitable. We have an infant manufacturing interest, which is rapidly augmenting our means both for home and foreign supply, but which in war would find neither leisure to acquire skill, nor capital to employ industry. We have populous and prosperous cities, which in a war with a great maritime state, unfortified and unprotected as they are, would be exposed to exaction and plunder, perhaps bombardment and conflagration. We have
in fact every thing that a rich and feeble nation can loose—every thing that a warlike and rapacious nation can desire to gain. All that we have except liberty and independence, is the child of peace, it has known only the calm and sunshine of peace, and it has never been prepared to resist adversity; it will perish with the first blast that overtakes it.
In a war then, we at once perceive the merchant and the mariner reduced to bankruptcy and ruin—the artificer deprived of employment; the farmer without market for his produce; the progress of internal improvement suspended; the inhabitant of the city rendered insecure in his habitation; and the whole nation reduced from opulence and comfort, to poverty and distress.
But such are not the considerations with which alone I would attempt to restrain the ardor of the people. It is not to their selfish passions only , I mean to address myself. If no other dissuasives from war than such as are founded in avarice and fear could be justly urged against it, my voice would not be raised to prevent an immediate appeal to arms. If the universal wreck of private enjoyment would make us as high spirited and magnanimous as poor; would destroy faction, animate public virtue, rouse a just love of national glory, and impress upon us a marked and honorable national character, the purchase even at so great an expence, would be a blessing. But no such consequences will flow from war with Britain. It is now notoriously wished and sought for by a most numerous and powerful description of persons, as the effectual engine of faction, confusion and proscription. They avow their gladness to obtain at any price, the means of destroying their opponents in politics, or as they are pleased to term them "the British faction." They know that in reducing the high to the level of the low, they would raise the low to the level of the high; and that by no more successful means can they destroy the little influence which remains to property, than by producing a war which would destroy property itself. They are not deficient in cunning, and they readily see that with a government so feeble as to be incapable of pursuing its plans by its legitimate strength, they, under pretence of supporting it, would be enabled to usurp a revolutionary energy, which would effect all the objects, because it would gratify both the ambition and revenge of their leaders. The first sound of war was indeed their signal for reducing the government to a pure, unmixed and literal democracy. Committees of public safety were immediately created, who assumed without hesitation the duties of the public functionaries. In one place they actually conducted our foreign relations, and in another, from good motives, but with little regard to sound principles, they unhesitatingly stopped the course of justice, and superceded the proceedings of the regular magistracy. Great indeed and fatal will be the mistake, if we suppose that under the present auspices, the contest we all appear to be seeking would invigorate the springs of regular government. Its legitimate powers would be neglected, or their exercise irresistibly obstructed, and the ascendant party would maintain the war by systems of partial taxation or overwhelming oppression towards those who no longer would have the power, perhaps not the courage to resist them. Surely such a posture of affairs, instead of being the parent of national harmony, and the pledge of united exertion, promises to generate a boundless scene of domestic discord and civil contention.
Even the inflamed & inveterate animosity which war would justly kindle towards Great Britain, and which, during hostilities, would be in many points of view, both useful and necessary; in others, would be an evil of enormous magnitude. Inordinate hatred to one nation often converts itself into inordinate attachment to another. Few who have studied the politics of this country, will doubt the truth of this observation: Its justness is in the eyes of the great body of the people, testified by ample and dear bought experience. Are those, they, who have employed their lives in resisting that fatal influence which has infected every vein and artery in our political system, suddenly reconciled to its revival and establishment? Do they no longer apprehend danger from the arts, or subjection from the arms, of a power now not less intriguing, and more irresistible than ever? Do they believe we shall carry on war alone, and without the assistance of Bonaparte? An immediate alliance with France is the certain and inevitable consequence of a rupture with her rival, it is already joyfully looked for, and confidently relied on. And if we seek for such protection, we shall most liberally
pay for it. The remaining fruits of our industry exhausted in contributions to our ally, our battles fought by her troops and navies, our country subject to her influence, perhaps covered by her armies, may defend us against others, and conquer us for themselves, form the picture for contemplation, from the end of this terrible and ruinous connection.
Favoritism to France is not the only internal evil which would flow from the fierce and bitter hatred which, in the event of a war, we should bear to the British nation. The attack upon our political institutions, and upon our venerable system of civil jurisprudence, it has not sprung from our passionate sentiment towards the people from whom they derived their origin, has at been drawn from that cause its effective strength and most vigorous support. In a more inflamed state of popular animosity, we hesitate to pronounce that this attack would be both universal and irresistible, and that every principle drawn from the municipal policy of Great Britain, would be seen through the jaundiced medium of our prejudices. An acceleration then of the period in which our constitutions will be endangered and weakened, the wise rules of the common law altered and digested, the trial by jury abolished, and new, unintelligible and impracticable systems of justice introduced, is, in my mind, not the most remote or the least certain consequence of war.
War, indeed, is not in itself always the worst of evils. It is often a prolific source of benefit to the state. It is so when it calls forth the virtuous passions of a people—their love of liberty and independence, when it rouses all their energy; when every man becomes important to his country; and when each individual is sensible, that his own exertions may lead to glory and renown. But wars to be thus beneficial, must be such as call for the active valor of the citizen; they must be such as make a nation warlike , and direct to their proper ends the ambition of genius, and the ardent love of fame; they must be such as prepare men for battle & victory , and promise to reward by conquest great and hazardous endeavors. Or at least they must be such as open some new employments for commerce, some accustomed incitements to industry, or inviting avenues to science. Such were the wars of Greece and Rome, and, in later times, of France and Britain. In the war, however, which we now contemplate, we shall never meet the enemy in battle . On the ocean we cannot, and in the condition to which our improvident system has reduced us, we dare not assail her. On our own shores she will not probably attack us, and except in Canada, the invasion of which will be hereafter considered, we no where can come in contest with her. Whenever we meet her, our part must be unconditional submission, & her's absolute sway. Our weapons are all of a merely negative nature; confiscation, non-intercourse and non-importation. Surely a year of active injury on one side, and passive endurance and commercial regulation on the other, is not that species of war which generates public enterprise and spirit. Our means of annoyance, however, will be the subject of my next paper.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.
The English brig of war mentioned in the last number of the Mercantile Advertiser as being below, is the Columbine , from the British blockading fleet off the Chesapeake. On Wednesday afternoon a pilot brought her to an anchor within the Hook, seduced by the assurance that she had dispatches on board for the government. These dispatches have not been yet sent up. Mr. Schenk, the surveyor of the port, went down yesterday, in a pilot boat to ascertain the object of their visit.
Captain Meekins from North Carolina, passed a ship of war at anchor outside of the Hook yesterday, and soon after saw her boat go ashore at the Light House; about five P. M. she got under weigh and came to an anchor within the Hook, in the bay. Captain M. supposed her to carry about thirty two guns under French colors.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7.
A British brig of war anchored within San- dy Hook yesterday afternoon, and we under- stand an officer is coming up in a pilot boat with dispatches. We did not learn the name of the brig, where from, or the nature of her dispatches.
[New York Mer. Ad. Sept. 3.]
The Ville de Milan, commanded by Sir Robert Laurie, having arrived in our bay from Halifax, the command of the British naval force devolves on captain Laurie, as senior of- ficer. The Bellona was at Halifax by late ac- counts. It was reported a few days since, that one of the British ships of war had gone up the bay. We believe this to be a mistake. The ships now on this station, are the Tri- umph, Leopard, Melampus, Cleopatra, and Ville de Milan; the two former were in Lyn- haven bay on Saturday, and the two latter at sea, the last came in on Sunday.

From the rapidity of Mr. Woodbridge's utterance, some errata have necessarily crept into our statement of his testimony. As we wish to catch every beam of light that can be shed on this interesting trial, we think it proper to correct them, in Mr. Woodbridge's own words.
ERRATA—First column D. Woodbridge's testimony—answer to Mr. Hay, "colonel Burr wished to give me a draft on New York for payment. &c." Instead of which say, "I agreed to take a draft on New York; but expressed to Mr. Blannerhas- sett who handed me the draft, my dissatisfac- tion at the long sight on which it was drawn; viz. 90 days" observing that the draft would not fall due until after the time in which the boats and provisions were to be delivered, and that I wished to run no ha- zard. Mr. Bl. with some warmth asked me if I doubted col. Burr's honor, and ob- served, that he would relieve my fears by guaranteeing the draft.
Second column of Mr. W's testimony, question by Mr. Wirt, "In having these boats built, did you understand they were built for Mr. Burr, or for Burr and Blan- nerhasset?"—Note—If this question was asked, I could have made no other answer, than that they were built for Burr.
Mr. Blannerhasset did not, as was stated tell me the use that was to be made of the boats. In my narrative of Mr. Blannerhas- set's communication to me, I am made to say, "I evaded his question, but could not avoid telling him I thought my situation better than a precarious one." I did not evade his question, but did tell him I tho't my situation better than a precarious one.
Answer to Mr. Wirt's question—in- stead of "his landed property cost 50,000 dollars," &c. Say the island and improve- ments cost about 40 or 50,000, it would not however sell for near that sum, ex- cept to a person of similar taste with Mr. Blannerhasset.
Mr. Hay's question—"If delivered to Blannerhasset would you not have consi- dered yourself as delivering them (the boats) to one of Burr's associates?" I am made to answer "I do not know what I should have thought." It is impossible that I should have made that answer, for I just before stated that Mr. Blannerhasset had told me he had embarked with col. B. and I never had any reason doubt it.
With respect to the questions generally about Mr. Blannerhasset's property, I did not speak positively. The expression from Tyler, I was positive in.

To the Editor of the New York Mercan- tile Advertiser.
SIR,
AMONG all the depredations and out- rages committed on American commerce by the belligerents, the following deserves a place in our attention.
The American ship Vermont Lyman of New York, bound from that port to Leg- horn, was captured in the beginning of March last in sight of her port of destina- tion, and carried into Porto Ferrago, in the island of Elba, by a French privateer.— The consignees made an immediate appli- cation to the court of Pisa, which granted the requisite permission for obtaining the liberation of the said vessel under a garan- tee, with which the Marine agent refused to comply, until he had received instruc- tions on the subject from the Prefect at Gououlou. Every measure was taken by the concerned to hasten the reply, but to no purpose; none could be obtained. Thus circumstanced the consignees made ano- ther application to the court of Pisa, and obtained its special sanction and authority to bring the cargo to market, (part of it being perishable) under such guarantee as the captors should require. The notorious injustice of the capture of the said vessel induced the French consul to interpose his influence, and the French merchants resident at Leghorn offered their security and guarantee, (which the laws of France require to be French in such cases) in or- der to obtain the release of ship and cargo. All was of no avail, however. The ma- rine agent peremptorily persisted in his re- fusal to accept of any security or guarantee whatever; and intimated, that the original papers of ship and cargo were transmitted to Paris for the inspection of the tribunal de prizes, whose report alone should go- vern him. This report had not arrived at Porto Ferrago in June last, and very pro- bably may not do so for months to come. In the mean time this valuable ship and cargo remain under the most unwarrant- able and infamous detention. In most cases of the kind by the British, where satisfactory security for ship and proceeds of cargo have been offered to the captors or court of ad- miralty, permission has been granted to proceed to market. This detention is therefore attended with peculiar aggravation; not singular, however, for there are several vessels detained in the same situa- tion at Porto Ferrago. The Vermont at- tracts peculiar attention on account of her value, which is two hundred and fifty thou- sand dollars.
There is of late in some of the British pa- pers an unprecedented boldness of at- tack and accusation that spares no per- son, however elevated in rank.—The following as a specimen, is extracted from the London "Independent Whig" of July 5.
"There are however a variety of abuses, which both factions are prudently silent a- bout, because both parties had an equal share in the business, and are afraid to let the whole cat out of the bag; neither of them say a syllable about the amassed trea- sure of the king, said to amount to the enormous sum of five millions sterling!!"
All we know of this accumulated wealth is, that, while the poor curate, with a wife and half a dozen children, is compelled by law to pay his income tax, six pounds a year, out of his little salary of sixty pounds, his majesty, our most gracious sovereign, and father of his people, is ex- onerated by law from paying ten per cent. upon the annual produce of his hoarded treasure; and that the bankers who hold it in trust, and receive the dividends, are exempted from stating what the amount of the treasure is. These gentlemen have it in their power to escape (under cover of the royal wing) no small share of their in- come-tax. This in the way of trade may be called fair play, but surely it cannot be called fair play in our representatives, as they call themselves, to have taken ten per cent. from our little incomes, besides an addition of ten per cent. upon all former assessments, while they exempted his ma- jesty, who has an income of One Million two hundred thousand pounds, not only from paying all direct taxes, but even from the property tax? Whence his majesty derived all this wealth, and how he con- trived to acquire it, we not, nor cannot well devise, since he never was in India, nor a loan contractor, nor an army agent (like Greenwood) nor secretary to the ordnance, nor commissary (like Brooke Watson) nor barrack master: by what means then this accumulation was made we know not, and it may not be very prudent, at present to inquire; but it seems strange, that the person, for whose support the war was said to be at first undertaken, should even desire to be screened from paying his share in common with the people who main- tain his throne.
It is with all sober minded men a ques- tion well worth considering, whether the sovereign of a free country ought to be al- lowed to amass wealth for his own private use: I am decidedly of opinion that he ought not. If it be true that his majesty possesses in the funds five millions, the sum in the 3 per cents, gives to the sov- ereign 150,000 per ann. which no king England, in common policy, ought to be allowed to possess, and which no king England, independent of parliament constitutionally hold. No sovereign in a free country ought ever to be independ- ent of his subjects.
His majesty is provided with an am- income for all wholesome and legitim purposes by the state. He can have no p per occasion for money that the legislature will not accord him.
