When he went a- way he had a green round coat, buff-colored breeches, with homespun clothing, and has never been accustomed to any work but in the crop of field. I have understood he has cross- ed the Potomac about Britain's Bay, over in- to Maryland. I expect he has procured a pass and will endeavor to appear as a freeman.

I will give Twenty Dollars reward if taken in Maryland, or Fifteen if taken in the North- ern Neck, so that I get him again. George Christopher. Westmoreland County, Vn. 14th September.

THE REVIEW. NO. VI.
In our last we have seen the president in his official message that was to go upon the journals and before the public, boasting of the state of the public treasury; telling us exultingly of the millions of the debt we had paid off, and of the millions of surplus that still remained to meet every exigence. We have seen him afterwards, however, by one of his puppets asking congress in a secret manner, for the appropriation of two millions of dollars, and a grant to that effect, for the purpose of enabling him to treat with Spain, by giving this money as a dowry to France. This we understand to be the result of an accommodation between the president and monsieur Thureau the French minister. We are perfectly aware that the voting of an appropriation merely, far from supposing an empty treasury, supposes a full one; or, as Mr. Jefferson would say, a competent surplus, and as he would further in this case say, "the surplus to be competent must be considerable." But the motion of the mercenary match did not stop at requesting an appropriation, it also requested revenue. Along with his motion for the two millions of tribute money, came the proposal that the duties which had been raised for the purpose of providing a fund for carrying on the late war with the bashaw of Tripoli, called the Mediterranean fund, should be continued, although the war was ended. This, it must be admitted, is not quite so easily reconcilable with the account given in the message of such a power of money in the treasury. Here is not only a call for the important sum of two millions of dollars, to enable the executive to meet certain contingencies, but it was thought necessary to call for it in conclave, and under a pretence totally different from the object.
Perhaps no one trick that Mr. Jefferson ever played off on the deluded people, has acquired him more popularity than that of always making them believe they had an overflowing treasury, owing too to his economical way of managing our public affairs. Mr. Randolph, during the last session, blurted out the real truth: he said the administration had been trading on federal capital, and that when that was exhausted the treasury would be bankrupt. Mr. Jefferson has never ceased to boast of its prosperous situation, and to keep up the farce, we see he has already been obliged to obtain money of the nation under "false pretences"—a transaction which might in this view of it, be justly branded with a very harsh epithet, but we will in decency spare it.
Whether Mr. Bidwell's plan of raising the money was that which the secretary of the treasury informed Mr. Randolph "he had provided as he had been directed" we know not. It is, however, not improbable, since Mr. Randolph told the secretary he considered the whole proceeding as highly disingenuous, and added, he was extremely disgusted with it. At any rate the motion appeared so extraordinary, and in so questionable a shape, that it was rejected.
The next thing that came before the house was the report of the committee on the message. This report, though in strict union with the official recommendation of the executive to put the country in a state of defence, was rejected by a disciplined majority; and then once more came up the proposition for the appropriation of two millions for the "purposes of foreign intercourse." The avowed object being to enable the president to open a negotiation for the purchase of Florida, Mr. Randolph accordingly made a motion to confine the appropriation to that object, which was agreed to, and a bill ordered to be brought in accordingly. Things had not been sufficiently arranged before hand. When the bill was reported, however, every puppet stood ready to obey its proper wire. The house rescinded its vote for a specific appropriation, and instead of guarding the bill in any manner, the two millions of money were voted and the whole placed in the discretion of the president, confined to no object further than to "the purposes of foreign intercourse" generally; thus leaving it to him alone to purchase a title, or compromise a dispute, to conciliate France or coax the bashaw of Tunis, or wheedle our Indian neighbors, just which he pleased: so that he only made it to bear in some shape or other on our intercourse with any nation besides our own, the provision of the bill would be satisfied. The democratic priates used to make an outrageous clamor against the federal administration about secret service money, without
having the least pretence, so far as has ever yet appeared, to justify any suspicion of the sort: but we challenge the whole host of them to tell us of any thing that will compare with the instance before us.
It deserves to be recollected that in the debate which ensued on the above bill, with closed doors, Mr. Randolph took the formidable ground that it was in direct opposition to the views of the executive, as expressed in the president's official communication; on which the president's leading puppet general Varnum (a gentleman who cuts rather thick under the hat) got up and declared that "the measure was consonant to the secret wishes of the president."—What a charming disclosure! What a dignified manner of complying with that section of the constitution which provides that "He shall, from time to time, give to the congress information of the state of the union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."
Mr. General Varnum's disclosure failed of the effect expected, instead of silencing Mr. Randolph, that gentleman went on to say that—
"It was a prostration of the national honor at the feet of our adversary; that a concession so humiliating would paralyze our efforts against Great Britain, in case the negotiation then and now pending between that government and ours should prove abortive; that a partial appropriation towards the purchase of Florida, without limiting the president to some specific amount, would give a previous sanction to any expence which he might incur for that object, and which congress might stand pledged to make good: that if the executive, acting entirely upon its own responsibility, and exercising its acknowledged constitutional powers, should negotiate for the purchase of Florida, the house of representatives would, in that case, be left free to ratify or annul the contract: but that the course which was proposed to be pursued (and which eventually was pursued) would reduce the discretion of the legislature to a mere shadow: that at its ensuing session, congress would find itself, in relation to this subject, a deliberate body but in name: that it could not without a manifest dereliction of its own principles, and perhaps without a violation of public faith, refuse to sanction any treaty entered into by the executive under the auspices of the legislature, and with powers so unlimited: that, however great his confidence in the chief magistrate, he would never consent to give any president so dangerous a proof of it, that his duties as a member of that house, as the independent representative of an independent people, were paramount to every other consideration; and that he never would preclude himself, by any previous sanction, from the unbiased exercise of his judgment on measures which thereafter were to come before him: that the house had no official recommendation from the executive for the step which they proposed to take, on the contrary, it was in direct opposition to its sentiments as expressed in the confidential message: that the responsibility would be exclusively their own: that if the president deemed it advisable to purchase foreign territory, he was free to enter into stipulations for that purpose, whilst congress would remain equally free to sanction or disapprove such stipulations; or that, if he thought proper to ask for an appropriation for that object, the responsibility of the measure would rest upon him; but when the legislature undertook "to prescribe the course which he should pursue," the case was entirely changed; that that house could have no channel through which it could be made acquainted with the opinions of the executive, but such as was official, responsible, and known to the constitution; and that it was a prostitution of its high and solemn functions to act upon an unconstitutional suggestion of the private wishes of the executive, irresponsibly announced by an irresponsible individual, and in direct hostility to his avowed opinions."
In answer to this we are told, that the majority first proposed the precedent of the Louisiana purchase (no federal precedent by the way) but that in the latter stages of the discussion, no reply was attempted; the doors were closed, and the minority were voted down without debate; their motives impeached, and their persons almost denounced. A pleasant picture of our National debating Assembly!

KINGSTON, (Jam.) August 11:
A story is in circulation respecting a rencontre between the brig Atkinson, Martin, of and from this port, and an armed American ship, near Heneaga, but we cannot completely ascertain the particulars. It is said that the brig, supposing the vessel in sight to be Spanish, fired a shot athwart her bow for the purpose of bringing her to, when the ship heaving to, poured in a broadside of langridge and grape shot, and an action commenced, which continued but a short time, the American after a few broadsides striking his colors. On coming to a proper understanding the vessels separated.
CHARLESTON, September 12.
Arrived sloop Two Brothers, King, 5 days from Plymouth, N. C.
Captain King informs us that while lying in Ocracoke harbor on Monday the 1st instant, he experienced a most tremendous gale or hurricane. The wind blew with dreadful violence from the N. W. and continued about 8 hours—upwards of 20 sail of brigs, schooners and sloops were driven ashore, upset or carried away their masts. While captain King was in the act of cutting away his mast, he was run foul of by a New York brig, his bowsprit carried away, and his upper works so much injured, that supposing the sloop would sink, himself and crew sought their safety by getting on board the brig. A poor crippled negro boy, who could not follow their example, was alone left on board the sloop. In this dreadful situation, this faithful creature applied himself to the pumps, and actually kept the vessel free until captain King returned on board after the gale had subsided. The brig was totally dismasted.
Captain King did not learn to a certainty whether any lives were lost. It was reported that one schooner had been driven out to sea in such a wrecked situation that it was feared she would founder. It was also said that a boat's crew were drowned in attempting to get ashore.
Two days after the gale the Wilmington revenue cutter, off Ocracoke, fell in with the wreck of a schooner bottom upwards. They scuttled her and got out two puncheons of rum. On her stern they could distinguish the word "POLLY." From her appearance it was probable that all her crew had perished.

NORFOLK, September 18.
In a part of the last edition of our paper we gave a hasty account of the French line of battle ship L'Impetueux, of 74 guns, commanded by Monsieur Leveyer Belair, member of the Legion of Honor. Since then we have conversed with some of the officers of the French ship, who say, that in a violent gale on the 19th August, in lat. 26, she was totally dismasted, her rudder broke, water casks stove, and all the powder wet and destroyed; they were obliged to throw all their guns overboard, except the lower tier, to keep her afloat. After
being in this deplorable state for twenty three days, short of provisions, and not a drop of fresh water, early on Sunday morning last they descried two British men of war, a frigate and an armed brig, being then about twelve miles off shore to the southward of Cape Henry; that sooner than be taken at sea they immediately made for the shore, on which they ran the ship before the British got within shot, having with their colours a signal of distress also hoisted. They state that the frigate commenced firing upon them when they were a ground and within a mile of the land, and continued the fire until the colours & sails were lowered—during this time the two line of battle ships were at anchor within long shot—that the crew of the first boat which came on board from the frigate behaved with much civility, but when the marines came they conducted themselves with rudeness. That the captain of the French ship expostulated with them, stating that they were on neutral ground, but to no effect, for after taking out what of the crew that did not jump overboard, they set fire to her and effectually destroyed her. The L'Impetueux had near 700 men; those taken from the frigate have been sent up from Hampton Roads, and are now comfortably lodged in the hospital at Fery Point.
The L'Impetueux was one of Willoumey's squadron, and of which Jerome was second in command in the Veteran, which ship parted from the squadron in the lat. of New York, 20 or 30 days before the gale, and has never since been heard of—strongly suspected she has foundered. They fell in with the Foudroyant (the admiral's ship) three days after the gale, totally dismasted, rudder gone, and nearly a wreck—suppose she has got into Havana. The Casard and Velercuse frigates, belonging to this squadron, are also missing.
Commendation is due Mr. Myers, who, on hearing of the deplorable situation of the poor fellows who swam on shore, and who were making the best of their way for this place, without clothes and without victuals, immediately sent carriages, with provisions and clothes, to meet them.
It is the opinion of many, that the burning of the French ship L'Impetueux by the British, within the jurisdiction of the U. States, is an illegal act—This point we leave to our sages to discuss and settle.—Mons. Turreau, no doubt, will soon issue a violent phillippic against such proceedings.
Arrived ship Rolla, Cottle, in 42 days from the Downs, bound to City Point. The Protectress, Everitt, sailed from London for City Point the 29th of July; the ships Shepherdess, Wills, and William P. Johnson, both from this port, had arrived—the Sheffield, Davis, was to sail for this port in three days after the Rolla. The Eliza, Treadwell, 6 days from Boston.
On the 9th instant captain Cottle, then in lat. 35, long. 63, was boarded by a lieutenant from his Britannic majesty's frigate Franchise, captain Charles Dashwood, in company with the Penguin brig, and 73 sail under convoy. The lieutenant gave captain C. the following memorandum:
"Sailed from Jamaica on the 29th July, with a convoy of 108 sail, his majesty's ships Veteran, Magicienne and Penguin in com. On the 21st of August, about 80 miles N. E. of the entrance of the Gulf of Florida, met with a violent gale of wind. The Franchise lost her foremast, mainmast, and sprung her bowsprit. The Magicienne was damaged in her rudder and hull, and obliged to go to Bermuda, accompanied by the Veteran. Ten ships, whose names are unknown, have foundered; and many others are supposed to be lost."
GETTYSBURG, (Penn.) August 27.
On Wednesday morning last, about 10 o'clock, at the court house in this borough, came on the trial of Jacob Balsley, who was indicted for the murder of a certain Peter Shae, on the 21st of June last. The testimony closed about one o'clock, and the pleadings commenced at three. The prisoner was ably defended by Messrs. Dabbin, Kelly and Duncan—they were followed by Mr. Maxwell, on the part of the commonwealth; and the trial was closed by an elaborate charge from judge Hamilton. Between 9 and 10 o'clock the jury retired, and in about half an hour returned with a verdict "guilty of murder in the second degree." On Thursday afternoon, after an affecting admonition, judge Hamilton passed sentence on the prisoner, "that he should be confined to hard labor in the penitentiary house in the city of Philadel."

for eight years, and fed and clothed the law directs: nine months of said time in the solitary cells thereof, and be kept on coarse and low diet." We are sorry to observe, that the prisoner, who is of respectable parentage, and is said not to exceed eighteen years of age, seemed but little affected, but rather exhibited an unusual austerity. The deceased was about 24 years of age, and had a wife and two children dependant on his labor for subsistence. It appears that the cause of this dreadful deed originated in the parties calling each other nicknames, a practice too common with many persons. Let him then be a solemn and admonitory warning to those addicted to so foolish and unbecoming a practice. Like you, but a few minutes before, these parties expected not to solemn an issue to their unbridled folly and passion. They were mowing in a meadow, where a sudden gust of passion seized Balsley, at some expression made use of by Shue, he gave him a blow in the back part of his head with a scythe, which in a short time terminated his existence. He may be said to have been
"Cut off even in the blossoms of his sin; No reckoning made, but sent to his account, With all his imperfections on his head!" And this horrible fact, must cast a bitter into the cup of Balsley's life, to his latest hour.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24.
MARRIED, last evening, by the Rev. Dr. Muir, Mr. CHARLES W. SCOTT, to Mrs. ELIZABETH BEADLE—both of this town.
From the Bal. Federal Gazette, of Sept. 22.
The editors of the Federal Gazette were this morning favored with the following article, which, considering the official channel through which it is derived, they view as highly authentic, and as putting the question of peace between England and France beyond all doubt:
By a letter from the American consul at Nantz, dated August 1st, it is stated, that the preliminary of peace between England and France had been signed, and as a consequence, that all neutral vessels were permitted to clear out for British ports.
The Boston Palladium, of the 16th instant, announces that the ship Two Brothers, Capt. Candies, with the Tunisian Ambassador and suite, was to sail that day for Tunis, rather permitting.
The markets of Comona, Barcelona and La Guira are completely glutted with all kinds of supplies, by reason of the vast importations from St. Thomas and other islands. The opening of the ports had the immediate effect of depressing the price of goods imported there, and of raising the price of their own produce. The Spanish merchants entertain the idea that since the ports are opened to all neutrals, they will, in a short time, be able to get goods for nearly nothing; and they are governed in their purchases by this belief—they buy no goods except at a price far below what they have been accustomed to give.
The Journal du Commerce of the 14th of July mentions, as a singular circumstance in the annals of French jurisprudence, that a suit had occupied for two days the attention of the tribunal of Correctional Police, in which Mr. J. Cox Barnett, American Consul at Havre was plaintiff, and Mr. O'Mealy, an American merchant, defendant. The former accused the latter with having publicly assaulted him by giving him a slap on the face, and laid his damages at 3,500 francs. The defendant was found guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of 600 francs, 500 of which to be distributed to the poor.
Particulars of the loss of the Schooner Patty, Captain Gere, from Charleston for Saint Mary's.
On the 21st of August, being in sight of their port of destination, the wind came on blow fresh at N. W. and in the course of the night and the next day the gale
was driven into the gulph, and the vessel being very hard sprung a leak, in order to lighten her they threw over such heavy articles as were upon deck, and at last were compelled to cut away both the masts. The leak increasing all hands were employed at the pumps, in bailing with buckets, &c. But notwithstanding every exertion was made she sunk about 4 o'clock P. M. on the 22d of August. When the vessel went down, there were 18 persons on board, all of whom after great exertions, and many "hair-breadth escapes" succeeded in getting into a small boat excepting Miss Maria Osborn, of St. Mary's, who was unfortunately drowned. Among those on board the boat, were four ladies, viz. Mrs. Paris and Mrs. Dunham, both very aged ladies; Mr. Gere, wife of the captain, and Miss El-
iza Blew, of St. Mary's. After remaining in this hazardous situation, with little or nothing to subsist upon, for eleven days and nights, during which time the mate, Mr. John Clark, of this city, and a black servant girl, died, being worn out with abstinence and fatigue; they were providentially taken up by the brig Polly, capt. Hubble, from Campeachy for this port. Shortly after getting on board the brig, Mrs. Paris and one of the seamen died—the rest, it was hoped, would recover. The Polly was off the bar last evening. Captain Gere, and Mr. John Curtis, a passenger, came up last evening in a pilot-boat. (Charleston paper.)
Among the characters of note, that are now running the fiery gauntlet of democratic pleasure, are
Madison, Gallatin, Granger, Wilkinson. Randolph, &c. &c. &c. &c. &c.
Each of these, however, has his partisans, who are as industrious in shielding as their enemies are in pelting them,—while Mr. Jefferson is in danger of being torn to pieces, by the excessive fondness of them all—They alike lay claim to the confidence of the "people," by the measure of their flattery to him.

Ramsay's Life of Washington.
We congratulate the friends of literature on the pleasing information that Dr. David Ramsay, of Charleston, S. C. has written a "Life of Washington," which a gentleman who has read the manuscript pronounces to be "a piece of elegant biography." We are given to understand it will be put to press the coming winter, in one volume octavo.
The eminent literary acquirements of the Dr. added to his great literary fame, as the author of "The History of the American Revolution," and other works, together with the portable size of the work, and its proportionable low price, leads us to hope that it will receive that encouragement to which its great merit will no doubt entitle it. (Prov. Phoenix.)
Amiable instance of liberality. —During the latter part of the American war captain (afterwards lord) Nelson had the command of a ship on that station, and took a sch. belonging to Plymouth, in America, about forty miles from Boston, the captain of which was put on shore to go to his home. Some time after he observed Nelson sailing up the bay of Boston, and his prize at a short distance. The captain of the sch. immediately fitted out a boat, put one or two sheep in, and filled it with vegetables with which he sailed for Nelson, and on coming alongside threw the articles on the deck, and jumped on board, and desired captain Nelson to accept them, which he did, but observed to captain Carver that he must have some motive for his kindness, and desired to know what it was? Carver, with doubt and hesitation, said he had. What is it? was replied; he answered, that he could scarcely expect it, but it was to return him his schooner again, it was his all. Nelson immediately wrote the following certificate, and gave it him.
"These are to certify, that I took the Schooner Harmony, Nathaniel Carver, master, belonging to Plymouth; but on account of his good services, have given up his vessel again. Dated on board his majesty's ship Albemarle, 17th of August, 1782."
HORATIO NELSON.
The above certificate is framed and glazed, and now hangs in a gentleman's parlour at Boston.
A new, clean, and easy method to make cider. The apples after being ground are put into a curb or vat, and levelled with a shovel—then covered with a plank and blocked up as usual. It may be pressed with a long beam or short cider screw, but screws are best. The cider may be pressed in two or three hours, even in cold weather, if the press be freeze.
The curb must be four feet eight inches inside, four sides and a half square, made of the best timber, with hinges and bolts in place to keep it flat three feet three inches long, six inches wide and half an inch thick. The eye bolts may be drawn with an iron bar with ease, and any quarter of the vat taken off to take out the pumice. A curb of this size will hold pumice enough to make ten barrels of cider. I have made cider in this way for two years, and find it is done with half the usual labor; and the cider clear. The above can be attested by many.
PAUL DOGE.
New-Castle, Sept. 3.
FROM THE PEOPLE'S FRIEND:
The public may lay their account with having their feelings and opinions sported with on the subject of peace and war in Europe, on every arrival from that quarter of the world. To attempt to bottom an opinion on the slippery politics of the continental cabinets there, would be indeed to build an edifice on the sand. The influence which the Cossicanhas, either by force or fraud, by menace or corruption, acquired in most of the cabinets of Europe has long been known and regretted. And it is in his comprehensive plan of corruption, more even than the fortune of arms, that his common sense will look for the cause of his extraordinary and pernicious career. Whatever good men may hope, and in their virtuous prejudices endeavor to persuade themselves to, it is to be feared the contagion will extend itself. It began with Prussia, and it may (but God forbid it,) have reached farther north. In the bosom of the two chiefs, the Corsican and the king of Prussia, there were so many homogenous materials that a coalescence between them was not so wonderful. Between these personages as between two globules of quicksilver there is generally a tendency to mutual attraction & amalgamation. A livelier contrast cannot be imagined to both these than the king of Sweden and the emperor of Russia.
To an understanding of the highest order, and spirit worthy of a descendant of the immortal Gustavus, the king of Sweden adds the firm out guard of a military education and the habits of a soldier. Intrepid in the cabinet as in the field, and equally vigilant and cautious in both, the Napoleon poison will not be easily administered to his counsellors, nor in all probability reach himself. He may with equal truth, but on a far more comfortable principle, say with Macbeth, "I will fight till off my bones my flesh be hack'd"
Possessing as great natural endowments as the youthful monarch of Sweden, the young monarch of Russia is far less secure. Nothing but the corruption of Russian ministers and nobles will induce Alexander to make a peace with France. An armed truce may indeed take place. Any thing beyond it, must be got unfairly & granted unwisely.
As to a peace between France and England we will believe it when we see it gazetted, but not before; it does not necessarily follow that because Mr. Fox negotiates, a peace will be concluded. Negotiation with such an enemy as Napoleon may be made, and may be intended to be made, a sinew of war. If France should be found unreasonable, and her terms inconsistent with the security of G. Britain, the minister will then be able to come forward with better claims for its support, and to the people with a more lively appeal to their feelings. Negotiation may be good policy. Twice lord Malmesbury went to negotiate, and twice returned with war to his mouth. So will lord Lauderdale, or whoever goes to Paris on the present occasion. We repeat it, we will not believe that a peace is made, till we see it gazetted, and then we will aver that the sun which dawns that event will be the darkest that ever rose upon the face of creation, since the transgression of our first parents brought sin into the world. In a continuance of the war only can Britain look for salvation. That star once extinguished, all will be darkness and eternal night over the face of creation.
