From the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. At a general court martial assembled on board the U. S. ship the Chesapeake, in the harbor of Norfolk, and state of Virginia, on Monday the fourth day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eight, and continued by adjournment from day to day, until Monday the eighth day of Feb. in the same year. PRESENT, Captain John Rodgers, President. Captains William Bainbridge, Hugh G. Campbell, Stephen Decatur, jr. and John Shorn. Masters Commandant John Smith and David Porter. Lieuts. Joseph Tarbell, Jacob Jones, James Lawrence & Charles Ludlow.
The court pursuant to an order from the honorable Robert Smith, secretary of the navy of the U. S. to captain John Rodgers directed, bearing date on the seventh day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven, proceeded (as therein they are directed) to try James Barron esq. a captain in the navy of the U. S. upon the charges in the said warrant stated, and therein preferred against him: and having heard all the evidence, and the prisoner's defence, and very maturely and thoroughly considered the same, gave the following
OPINION:
The first charge stated against captain James Barron in the warrant of the hon. secretary of the navy is in these words: "For negligently performing the duty assigned him."
SPECIFICATION
1st. In that he did not visit the frigate Chesapeake, during the period she remained in Hampton roads, and before she proceeded to sea, as often as he was in duty bound to do."
2 "In that when he did visit her he did not, as it was his bounden duty to do, examine particularly into her state and condition."
In deciding upon this charge, the court will make the following statements:
1st. It appears to the court, that captain James Barron did visit the frigate Chesapeake twice during the period she remained in Hampton roads, and before she proceeded to sea, that is between the fourth & twenty-first days of June last. And as by the naval regulations, issued by the command of the president of the U. S. the number of visits which the commander of a squadron is directed to pay to the ships of his squadron or division is left to his own discretion, the court is of opinion, that captain Barron was made the judge upon this subject himself—and seeing in the evidence, no reasons existing at that time, to question the proper exercise of his discretion in this respect, the court are of opinion that this first specification is not proved.
2d. It does not appear to the court, that when captain James Barron did visit the frigate Chesapeake, he examined particularly into her state and condition. But as it has been clearly established by the evidence, that captain Barron during this period was acting under the orders of the honorable the secretary of the navy, where, by he was appointed a commodore or commander of a squadron, that by other orders derived from the same source, a master and commander had been appointed to act as captain of this particular ship, under the said James Barron as commodore, and that this acting captain was then on board the ship, the court are of opinion, that it was not the bounden duty of commodore Barron to examine particularly into her state and condition, and therefore that this second specification is not proved.
The omission to visit the frigate Chesapeake during the period she remained in Hampton Roads and before she proceeded to sea, as often as he was in duty bound to do, and the omission when he did visit her, to examine particularly into her state and condition, being the only circumstances averred in the accusation as establishing this first charge, "for negligently performing the duty assigned him," and the court being of opinion that he did visit the frigate Chesapeake as often as he was in duty bound to do, and that it was not his bounden duty to examine particularly into her state and condition, when he did visit her, must of course decide that capt. James Barron is NOT GUILTY under this first charge, as limited and explained by these specifications.
The second charge against captain Barron stated in the warrant of the honorable secretary of the navy is in these words:
"For neglecting on the probability of an engagement to clear his ship for action."
SPECIFICATION.
1st. "In that certain threats on the part of some commander of a British vessel of war, that he would take by force if he could not otherwise obtain them, certain men from on board the frigate Chesapeake, and that such threats were known to or heard by the said James Barron, and still he neglected to clear his ship for action."
2nd. "In that there were various indications of a hostile disposition towards the frigate Chesapeake, exhibited by the British ship of war the Leopard, to wit, her putting to sea after certain signals had been seen and noticed by the said James Barron, when there was no other vessel in sight, or any other object to induce her to go to sea but the Chesapeake; the ports of the said ship Leopard were triced up, and her tompions were out a considerable time before she commenced firing upon the Chesapeake; and still that notwithstanding these suspicious appearances, which were seen and observed by the said James Barron, he neglected to clear his ship for action."
3d. "In that by various manoeuvres which are set forth in the opinion of the court of enquiry hereto annexed, the British ship of war Leopard did manifest an intention to fire upon the said frigate Chesapeake, and still that the said James Barron neglected to clear his ship for action."
4th. "In that the said ship Leopard did approach the said frigate Chesapeake, under all the appearances of being prepared for action, and still the said James Barron neglected to clear his ship for action."
5th. "In that the said James Barron did receive from the commanding officer of the Leopard a communication clearly intimating that if certain men were not delivered up to him, he should proceed to use force, and still the said James Barron neglected to clear his ship for action."
6th. "In that the said James Barron, did verily believe from the communication he received from the commanding officer of the said ship the Leopard, that the said ship would fire upon the said frigate Chesapeake, or take by force, if they could not be obtained by other means, any British deserters that could be found on board the Chesapeake, and still the said James Barron neglected to clear his ship for action."
In deciding upon this charge the Court will make the following statements:
1st. It does not appear to the court that any threats were ever used on the part of any commander of a British vessel of war, that he would take by force, if he could not otherwise obtain them, certain men from on board the frigate Chesapeake (except the threats which may be considered as contained in the documents hereafter referred to, and which constitute the subject of another specification.) Of course it does not appear that any other threats were known to or heard by captain James Barron. The Court must therefore decide that this first specification is not proved.
2d. It appears to the court, that the British ship of war the Leopard did put to sea after certain signals had been seen and noticed by captain James Barron. Whether any other vessel was then in sight of her, or whether she then had any other object to induce her to go to sea but the Chesapeake, it is impossible from the nature of things that this court can now decide, nor is it necessary that they should decide.
It appears to the court also, that the ports of the said ship Leopard were triced up a considerable time before she commenced firing upon the Chesapeake. But when the court adverts to the relations between Great Britain and the United States at that time, to the situation of the British squadron which had been lying in Chesapeake bay for many months preceding this, and to the state of the wind and weather at this period, the court cannot consider the putting to sea of one of that squadron, in consequence of signals made to her, or the triced up ports of a two decker, in warm weather and a smooth sea, as indications of a hostile disposition towards the frigate Chesapeake, whether any other vessel was in sight at that time or not.
What was the probable object of the Leopard in putting to sea, the history of that day enables the court now to conjecture with some certainty. But at that time, and in her situation, there were such a variety of innocent objects equally probable to be then held in view by her, that this court cannot impute to captain Barron any blame whatsoever for not divining her real intentions at that time.
It appears to the court that the tompions
of the Leopard were out some time before she commenced firing upon the Chesapeake, and this the court considers as an indication of a hostile disposition. But as it appears to the court also from the evidence upon this head, that so soon as capt. Barron was informed of this fact, he ordered his men to quarters, the court are of opinion that no part of this specification is proved.
3d. This court having heard all the testimony relative to the various manoeuvres of the Leopard after she put to sea, must form its opinion from the facts established by this testimony, and not from the opinion of the court of Enquiry, on which they do not consider themselves bound in any manner to decide. Judging of these manoeuvres from these facts, the court are of opinion, that there were no intentions to fire upon the frigate Chesapeake manifested by the British ship of war Leopard, at any time before an officer of the Leopard, was sent on board the Chesapeake, and therefore that this third specification is not proved.
4th. It does not appear to the court, that the said ship Leopard did approach the said frigate Chesapeake, under any of the appearances of being prepared for action, and therefore the court are of opinion that this fourth specification is not proved.
5th. It appears to the court, that capt. James Barron did receive from the commanding officer of the Leopard, a communication clearly intimating, that if certain men were not delivered up to him, he should proceed to use force; and that the said James Barron yet neglected to clear his ship for action. The court are therefore of opinion that this fifth specification is fully proved.
6th. It appears to the court from part of the communications of capt. James Barron to the honorable the secretary of the navy, and from the evidence of witnesses with whom the said James Barron conversed upon this subject, that he did verily believe from the communication received from the commanding officer of the ship Leopard, that he would take by force, if they could not be obtained by other means, any British deserters that could be found on board the Chesapeake, and still that the said James Barron neglected to clear his ship for action—The court are therefore of opinion that this sixth specification is fully proved.
Part of the facts specified in the accusation as establishing this second charge being fully proved, and the court being of opinion that the facts so proved are sufficient of themselves to support this charge, decide that the said James Barron is guilty under this second charge "for neglecting on the probability of an engagement to clear his ship for action."
The third charge against captain James Barron, as stated in the warrant of the hon. the secretary of the navy is in these words:
"For failing to encourage in his own person his inferior officers and men to fight courageously."
SPECIFICATION.
1st. "In that he did not on the first moment of an indication of suspicious appearance of a hostile intention on the part of the said ship Leopard, order his men to quarters."
2d. "In that he did not after he was satisfied that an attack upon his ship would be made, use prompt and officerlike measures to prepare his ship for battle."
3d. "In that when he did order his men to quarters, he did not order them as became an officer of the American navy."
4th. "In that he ordered that the drum should desist from beating, and that the men should be got to quarters secretly without beat of drum."
5th. "In that from the manner in which he ordered his men to quarters, he did not evince a determination bravely to defend his ship."
6th. "In that he was not at his station during the attack aforesaid, but remained a considerable part of the time at the gangway, as if imploring forbearance."
7th. "In that he drew his men or some of them from their guns, to lowering down a boat or boats to send on board of the attacking ship during her attack upon him."
8th. "In that he ordered his first lieut. from his quarters during the attack, to carry a message on board of the Leopard, at that time firing upon him."
9th. "In that during the attack he used language in the presence of the men calculated to dispirit them."
10th. "In that during the attack he ordered his men to keep down, that they would all be cut to pieces."
In deciding upon this charge the court will make the following statements:
1st. It appears to the court, that James Barron the first moment after the appearance of a hostile intention on the part of the said ship Leopard, that is, after he knew her tompions were out, did order his men to quarters. The court are therefore of opinion that this first specification is not proved—This specification is understood by the court to apply exclusively to the appearances exhibited by the Leopard, after her commander before stated, and which constitute the subject of another specification.
2d. It appears to the court, that James Barron was satisfied that an attack upon his ship would be made, that is, after he received the communication from the commander of the Leopard above stated, he did not immediately use any measures to prepare his ship for battle. The court are therefore of opinion, that this second specification is fully proved.
3d. It appears to the court, that captain James Barron did order his men to quarters, he ordered them as became an officer of the American navy. The orders given upon this occasion are stated in the next specification, and although no such as are most frequently given, yet the situation of his ship at that time was not a common one, and in the orders themselves under the then existing circumstances, or in the manner of giving them, the court sees nothing to disapprove or censure. The court are therefore of opinion that this third specification is not proved.
4th. It appears to the court, that captain James Barron did order that his men should be got to quarters secretly, without beat of drum, that the drum did begin to beat notwithstanding this order, and that thereupon he ordered the drum should desist from beating. The court are therefore of opinion that this fourth specification is fully proved.
5th. It does not appear to the court that from the manner in which captain James Barron ordered his men to quarters, he did not evince a determination bravely to defend his ship. The court are therefore of opinion that this fifth specification is not proved.
6th. The court are not informed of any particular station assigned to a commander during an engagement. It is generally considered that the most proper place for him is on his upper deck, but he is at liberty to go and ought to go to any place where his presence will be of most importance. It appears to the court, that captain James Barron never did leave his upper deck during the attack, and the court are of opinion he should not have left it. It does appear to the court that he remained a considerable part of the time during the attack at the gangway, not as if imploring forbearance, but for necessary and proper purposes. The court are therefore of opinion that the sixth specification is not proved.
7th. It does not appear to the court, that captain James Barron did draw any of his men from their guns to lowering down a boat or boats, to send on board the attacking ship, during her attack upon him. The court are therefore of opinion, that this 7th specification is not proved. It does appear to the court that captain James Barron did draw some of his men from other stations for this purpose, but in this the court sees nothing to criminate captain Barron even if it were admissible to do so under this specification.
8th. It does not appear to the court, that captain James Barron ordered his first lieutenant from his quarters, during the attack, to carry a message on board the Leopard, at that time firing upon him. The court are therefore of opinion, that this eighth specification is not proved. As the decision of the court upon this subject, when coupled with some parts of the evidence exhibited in this case, proving that Mr. Benjamin Smith, the first lieutenant was in a boat, may perhaps be calculated to throw some imputation upon the reputation of that young officer, who is now dead, the court take this occasion to express their opinion, that he does not merit any such imputation.
9th. It does not appear to the court, that captain James Barron did use any language in the presence of his men calculated to dispirit them. The court are therefore of opinion that this ninth specification is not proved.
10th. It does not appear to the court by satisfactory evidence, that during the attack captain James Barron ordered his men to keep down that they would all be cut to pieces. The court are therefore of opinion that this tenth and last specification is not proved. The court are satisfied that some such words were uttered, but are also satisfied that the words actually used were of very different import, and were uttered at a time when they

would not have produced any improper effect upon the crew. The only two specifications annexed to this charge which are proved, are not such as in the opinion of the court establish the proposition, "that the accused failed to encourage in his own person his inferior officers and men to fight courageously." His not using immediate measures to prepare his ship for battle after he was satisfied an attack upon her would be made, was certainly great neglect of duty this does not support any charge against the spirit of captain Barron. His order that his men should be got to quarters without beat of drum, and his order to cease firing when he was satisfied that the ship was disabled, are considered by the court as strong evidences of his coolness and reflection at that moment. Indeed it would require very strong evidence to satisfy this court, that an officer who exposed himself at an open gangway, under a heavy and close fire who being wounded still remained on his deck during the whole attack, giving his orders coolly and distinctly, and who neither by his words or actions discouraged his crew or any part of it, could be guilty of this charge. Such the court are satisfied was captain James Barron's conduct and situation, and however they may think of his activity or judgement, they feel themselves bound to declare that he is not guilty under this third charge, "for failing to encourage in his own person his inferior officers and men to fight courageously."

From the Madras Courier of December 16
BREADFUL STORM AT MADRAS.
We have to discharge a most painful duty in detailing the circumstances which have attended the most violent storm ever experienced in the Carnatic, since that at Pondicherry, in 1752.
On Wednesday last the surf was observed to rise unusually high, and the clouds gathering thick and black to the northward with an increasing wind, exciting apprehensions that a storm was at hand. During the evening some rain fell in occasional showers, but in the night, and during the whole of Thursday it rained incessantly; the wind from the north west gradually increased into a gale, which by one o'clock on Friday morning had acquired a violence that threatened every thing with destruction, and in this direction, exciting dismay and spreading desolation, did the wind blow until about 4 o'clock in the morning. About this hour the wind lessened, and altering its direction gradually, came round to the southward; during this time there was an awful suspension; for the experienced in this climate, anticipated a renewal of the work of mischief from the sudden abatement of the storm, and from the shifting of the wind. When it had completely veered round to the southward, it suddenly burst into a hurricane, the like of which was never before remembered at Madras.
The canal forced its banks and overflowed the country so far as the government bridge on one side, and beyond the Powder mills on the other, where the water was three feet deep: Boats were carried away, and several were found at the bury-ground, and one near the government gardens.
The sea rose much beyond its usual height, bringing some of the Massulah boats within a few yards of the custom house, and destroying others, we understood to the amount of about forty. The surf reached Messrs Harrington's on the beach, and by its violence exposed four feet of the foundation of the house: luckily this was not half its depth—One side of the adjoining building, the navy office, is much damaged. The company's rice go-downs near the custom house were forced open, and much of their contents washed away. The sea rose close to the ditch of the fort, and the surf dashed with violence over the ramparts. The counterescarp at the N. E. angle gave way, and the water poured into the ditch at every rising of the surf. The sea has not yet receded, but it may possibly be owing to the spring tide. We sincerely hope that it will in a short time return to its former limits, or every building on the sea must be in danger.
The breach at the northern extremity of the Black Town wall gave way, and 2 guns were dismounted into the sea. It is impossible to give an accurate or adequate description of the mischief this storm has occasioned: far less can we describe the feelings of individuals who witnessed this work of destruction. Trees are every where torn up by the roots; the houses of the European inhabitants have universally suffered considerable damage, many being unroofed, and some partially blown down. The mud houses of the natives are in
most places swept away, and with them many also of their wretched inhabitants. It is apprehended many thousands have perished. Dead bodies of men, women and children, were found lying in every direction when the storm abated. As the sun rose higher, so the wind and rain, which had all along accompanied it in torrents, gradually abated, and before noon returned to the northward, and by Friday evening, blew again steadily, and without violence, from the northeast, where it now continues. During the hurricane there was no thunder and lightning, although some was experienced on Friday night.
In relating the account of the great damage sustained, we must not omit to mention the effects of this tornado at his majesty's naval hospital. Several of the wards were partially unroofed, and in some places the roof fell in, to the imminent danger of the sick beneath. Fortunately, however, by the activity of the officers and men attached to the hospital, the sick were removed in time to save them, and we are therefore happy to say no lives were lost. The wall surrounding the hospital has fallen in various parts, leaving breaches of 20 feet wide. The trees are torn up by the roots, and the place exhibits one continued scene of devastation. The extensive wall of Dent's garden is injured materially, and in some parts level with the ground.
Black Town, Saint Thome, and the Mount, seem all to have suffered alike; at the latter place the flag staff is blown down. In the roads cars upset, and cattle dead were every where lying; all the sentry boxes were blown down: as were the steps going up to the signal staff of the fort; and the large box, in which the colors are there deposited, was thrown on the parade. As no market could be held, so many families, European and natives, were without food nearly the whole of Friday.
A Parish vessel lying in the roads was stranded, and the brig Cyrus, which put to sea on the appearance of the storm, returned to the roads on Sunday morning, with the loss of her masts, and half full of water. Some idea may be formed of the strength of the current, and force of the surf, from the circumstance of a large portion of the ribs of a ship, supposed to be the Fairlie , capt. Elliott, which was burnt in the roads in 1799, were thrown ashore close to Mr. Parry's Go-downs.
To enter into regular detail of all the mischief occasioned, would much exceed our limits, or our descriptive powers. We cannot, however, but lament that a amongst other consequences of the storm, Dr. Anderson's beautiful garden was destroyed. This we consider a great loss, in a national point of view; to the individual it must be distressing indeed to see the labor of years, thus destroyed in a single night.
Of the misery in which the natives are involved, we can give no adequate idea; unless indeed, the following circumstance which has reached us, of the horrid resolution consequent to despair, in an individual, be considered as a proof of the general sense in which they view their calamities. A native woman, after the storm, raised a pile of wood in a gentleman's coach house, and, getting underneath it, with her child, had the desperate resolution to set fire to it; and thus burnt herself and infant to death.
Of the distance the storm has reached, we are at present unable to state.—We have heard that it scarcely reached to the northward further than Pulicat; to the southward it had not been felt at Pondicherry, as the American brig Brutus anchored in the roads early on Sunday morning, direct from thence had not encountered any gale in her passage. In a westerly direction, we are informed, it has reached as far as Conjeveram, where its ravages have been much felt.
During Monday a considerable quantity of rain fell, but unaccompanied with any violent wind.—Yesterday the sky was somewhat cloudy, but did not present an appearance of a further storm, although it was the full of the moon. This being now passed, and as she has declined into her third quarter, we hope that there will be no renewal of the distressing scenes of Thursday and Friday last.

FRIDAY, MAY 13.
On Thursday evening arrived at Boston the ship Thomas , Captain Mantor , in 55 days from Palermo, Sicily.
The French Toulon and Rochefort squadron united, constituting a fleet of 18 sail of the line, had arrived at Porto Ferrajo, in the island of Elba, not far from Leghorn. Admiral Collingwood had heard of the situation of the Frenchmen, and sailed from Palermo, two days before the Thomas , with 16 sail of the line to blockade them—and the Thomas spoke the fleet after sailing.
The French had made no attempts on Sicily. American cargoes were unsaleable at Malta and Palermo. The Thomas did not stop at any port on her return.
On the 21st of April, Captain Mantor spoke the brig Prudence , 21 days from Bordeaux for New York. A Mr. Williams , a passenger, informed Capt. Mantor that the French Emperor was at Madrid; that the king of Spain had been deposed, his son placed on the throne, and the prince of peace sentenced to be beheaded; that all the American vessels and property which had been arrested, continued so, and was to remain in that situation till it was known whether the United States would or would not declare war against Great Britain.

By the President of the United States. A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS information has been received that sundry persons are combined or combining and confederating together on Lake Champlain and the country thereto adjacent, for the purposes of forming insurrections against the authority of the laws of the United States, for opposing the same and obstructing their execution; and that such combinations are too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals, by the laws of the United States.
Now therefore, to the end that the authority of the laws may be maintained, and that those concerned directly or indirectly in any insurrection or combination against the same, may be duly warned—I have issued this my PROCLAMATION, hereby commanding such insurgents, and all concerned in such combinations instantly and without delay to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes: And I do hereby further require and command all officers having authority, civil or military, and all other persons civil or military, who shall be found within the vicinage of any such insurrections or combinations, to be aiding or assisting, by all the means in their power, by force of arms, or otherwise, to quell and subdue such insurrections or combinations, to seize upon all those therein concerned, who shall not instantly, and without delay, disperse and retire to their respective abodes; and to deliver them over to the civil authority of the place, to be proceeded against according to law.
In testimony whereof I have caused the seal of the U. S. to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand.
Given at the city of Washington, the 19th day of April, 1808; and in the sovereignty and independence of the U. S. the thirty-second.

POTOMAC;
A very capital Arlington long woolled, of excellent figure, fleece ten inches in length, and of fine quality. He was got by old BAKER out of a famous improved ewe.
At the White House in the county of New Kent, Virginia.
The very superior Young RAM of the Arlington long woolled, called
MOUNT VERNON;
Will tup from twenty to thirty ewes at a dollar each, the number to be limited at the discretion of Mr. James Anderson agent.
MOUNT-VERNON is a sheep of great size and beauty, and was got by Arlington the sire of Mr. Footes Badger, whom to 105lbs of live weight, delivered 9lbs 3 quarters of wool, 12 inches in length, at the late sheat of April 1808. The wool of Mount-Vernon measured in 1806, when he was a year old, 14 inches in length, and his second shearing in 1807, was 8lbs. He will make a very famous sire, to derive a long and fine woolled race from.
The terms on which the above list of capital tup sheep will be let is as follows:—Any gentleman, society, or neighborhood of gentlemen, who may desire to have one of these tups for his own or his friends' improvements, may obtain either of the above list (except Mount Vernon, who tups for his owner) upon making up a subscription of 100 ewes, at one dollar each ewe, and upon these terms the tups may be carried to any part of the United States, to be returned on or before the 1st day of April next ensuing. Specimens of the fleeces of all these tups will be deposited with Mr. Gadsby, at Gadsby's Hotel, Alexandria, and with the landlord of the Coffee-House in Georgetown, on the 20th of this month, for the public inspection.
Four very fine Tups are expected from Smith's Island, and will be let on the same terms as those already advertised.
The money to be derived from the letting of these improved sheep, will be exclusively devoted to the premiums at Arlington, and should success attend the plan, there will be at least three premiums for sheep, and as many for manufactures the ensuing year.—All Tups which may not be reserved for the establishment at Arlington will hereafter be let for the benefit of the premiums.
