VILLAINY!

I will give ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD to any honest man, that will give me information of this diabolical act, that I may bring to condign punishment the villain or villains concerned in this plot.

From the N. Y. COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
ON the subject of forming "an alliance offensive and defensive with Great Britain," we have already been sufficiently explicit. We regret that any federal editor should, for a moment, have given countenance to a proposition so discordant with the feelings of federalists in general, and so repugnant to the interests of our country. It is, however, with no small degree of pleasure, we find that "The People's Friend" has retired from the bold stand he had taken, of an alliance offensive and defensive. in its legitimate sense; and that he now advocates a limited connexion for a limited and specific object. It is to be hoped that he will retire one step farther, and soon come down to a level with the genuine spirit of federalism. The fact is, at least as it appears to us, that to form an alliance of even the kind last mentioned, would at the present moment be premature and injudicious. That the time may come, when the safety of our country may DEMAND such a connexion, we shall not deny. It has not, however, yet arrived; and, in our opinion, if the spirit of the country be roused, and suitable measures pursued, it never will arrive.—Until our own resources be called forth—until our own strength be tried, we shall never consent to place our reliance on foreign aid.
The editor thus accuses his federal brethren of inconsistency—
"We cannot drop this part of the subject, without expressing the difficulty we find in accounting for the approbation with which Mr. Fisher Ames's reflections were received and published, and the sudden revolution of opinion which causes them now to be censured."
To this we shall merely reply, that the well-written "reflections," erroneously attributed to Mr. Ames, do not, if our impression is correct, advocate "an alliance offensive and defensive." The "reflections" were republished by us, because they contain many valuable sentiments, and a salutary warning to our country. But, had the writer—or had Mr. Ames, as highly as we venerate his talents and character, proposed "an alliance offensive and defensive" with any nation on earth, the proposal would have received our most decided and zealous opposition. Our country is not in a situation to justify such a measure; and we have yet to learn the necessity or utility of proposing and supporting it.
Since we are reluctantly drawn into this discussion, we deem it a duty to notice some other remarks in the same paper of this morning. In doing this, we have no object to answer but the public good.
"Far be it from us (says the editor) to say now, that, if money could purchase a certain and complete reprieve, from the sentence which France and Spain have passed upon this country, it should not be paid."
"If there were any assignable bounds by which French rapacity and American tribute could with certainty be limited, we should be sorry to deprive administration of the only means which seem to be within its competence, of meeting the ruin that threatens the country."
To the leading sentiment contained in these remarks, however strongly it may be qualified, we can never subscribe. In saying this, it is confidently believed, we speak the feelings of a great proportion of our countrymen. Can it be possible, that the American people, on any pretext whatever, can be reconciled to a measure so humiliating and dishonorable? Where is the spirit of seventy-six, which refused a tax, because it was deemed tributary, even to the mother country? Is that spirit so broken down, so humbled in the dust, that we can now consent to yield to the demand of tribute from the French government; and this, forsooth! because our administration have not the courage to refuse it? The American people will never consent to purchase exemption from war at the total sacrifice of their national character. Let the cardinal maxim of federalism never be forgotten—"MILLIONS FOR DEFENCE BUT NOT A CENT FOR TRIBUTE."
In a late communication I remarked, that federalists could not tolerate revilers of their country, nor innovators upon their constitution. It is my object at this time to point at those who fall under the first of these descriptions; reserving the latter for some future occasion.
When foreigners have indiscriminately reviled our country or countrymen, we have generally suffered the injustice to pass in contemptuous silence, knowing that the calumny was more than counterbalanced by the credit we have received from the most learned, intelligent, and philosophic travellers. Yet there is one foreign vilifier who deserves mention, merely because he seems to be in league with some ill judging natives of our own shores.—I mean Thomas Moore, often styled Anacreon Moore , who lately experienced amongst us all that hospitality, for which our countrymen are, and I hope will long remain, justly celebrated. This Mr. Moore, as being an effeminate debauchee and a degenerate voluptuary, might, for me, pass down the stream of time without a breath to ruffle its surface, had not some Americans, as I before hinted, become his professed eulogists, and the propagators of his sentiments. This varnisher of ribaldry has said, in his preface to a volume of wanton "epistles, odes and other poems," principally written in America, that "there is certainly a close approximation to savage life [in the U. States] not only in the liberty which they en-
joy; utin the violence of party spirit and of private animosity, which results from it."—Excellent politician! Most learned historian! Who ever doubted before, that the opposites of "party spirit" and "private animosity," in any individual tribe were savage virtues?—Who before has not been taught that "party spirit and private animosity" are peculiar evils of free governments in periods of refinement. Whip the school boy for a dull rogue, who would blunder in this manner. Before the ingrate attempts politics again, let him read the histories of Athens and Rome.
Again, speaking of us, he has said, "when we find them arrived at maturity in most of the vices, and all the pride of civilization, while they are still so remote from its elegant characteristics, it is impossible not to feel that this youthful decay, this crude anticipation of the natural period of corruption, represses every sanguine hope of the future energy and greatness of America." What does he mean by the 'elegant characteristics' of civilization? Does he mean those feuds and civil dissensions by which no less than six of the English Kings have fallen? Or does he have in view the grace and decorum, with which the whigs and torries have always behaved towards each other? Or does he not rather, perhaps, have in his eye the taste and delicacy observed in the contest between the cavaliers and round heads !—Let me be here understood: I would not revile the British character, nor meanly stoop to recrimination. I love British valor, British patriotism, & British laws, infinitely more than Mr. Thomas Moore is capable of doing.—Therefore, I intend no national reflection; but only aim at the taste of that delicate framer of libidinous verses . The fact no doubt is, he intends by his elegant characteristics , those debaucheries, intrigues, prostitutions, and infidelities, found to polish the noblesse of Paris and London; or made the finished peculiarity of Martavavan or St. Martino. From such unenviable distinctions, I wish my country long to be free.
One quotation more from the modern Anacreon , and I have done: it may be found in his sixth epistle, addressed to Lord Viscount Forbes, and is as follows:
 "While yet upon Columbia's rising brow,  "The shewy smile of young presumption plays,  "Her bloom is poison'd, and her heart deceys!  "E'en now, in dawn of life, her sickly breath  "Burns with the taint of empires near their death,  "And, like the nymphs of her own withering clime,  "She's old in youth, she's blasted in her prime!" 
We here find, the professed imitation of the Teian Voluptuary has adopted the often refuted calumny of Buffon; that the climate of the western continent is unfriendly at once to animal vigor and the powers of genius. This needs no comment. But it is different with another slander here advanced: the wanton attack upon the fair of our country is worthy only of the profligate who made it. Had he possessed the urbanity of his prototype, he would have spurned a suggestion so unmanly, even if he thought it had its basis in truth. It is, however, pleasing, that the ladies of America need no formal vindication. The best judges have ranked them with the fairest: while, taken collectively, they have been considered, in their mental refinement and the delicacy of their virtues, to be superior to all. It will be long, I doubt not, before they will become so far alien from their present purity of taste, as to relish the licentious poems of the English, or the Grecian Anacreon . The latter was rebuked for his lewdness even by the lewd Ovid: while the former, going beyond him in the boldness of his sensuality, puts his hands into the filth of every sewer, and strives by all the tricks of retail to vend it for money. In much the greater part of his poems, he is unblushingly libertine in his sentiments; giving them, at the same time, the most pernicious fascination of character, by clothing them with the luxury of language, & disgusting them with the obscurity of figure. Besides, wherever he mentions America, he does it in the manner given above; in all the vulgarity of abuse, and all the villainy of ingratitude. Yet, he quotes Greek, Latin, Italian and French, from the most obscure authors most profusely; mingling an affectation of learning with all his wantonness. I am almost ashamed to add, he has found a publisher and a few servile admirers in this country: with these I must have a short interview. But, as I have been so long detained with their elegant Moore , I must defer it to another opportunity,

LEIPSICK, August 23.
Letters from Dresden, state, that the duke of Saxe Weimar had suddenly arrived at Teplitz, in order to confer with the elector in several political objects.
The publication of the Ukase, which orders the extraordinary levies in the Russian empire, in order to carry the army to 500,000 men, has given rise to several new calculations on the military forces of the four great military powers of the European continent, such as they were considered before the treaty of Presburg. A justly esteemed writer has given the following statement of them:
   Infantry. Cavalry. Total.     France 516,000 88,000 604,000   Russia 340,000 62,000 402,000   Prussia 232,000 44,000 276,000   Austria 170,000 40,000 210,000  
The author observes, that with regard to France, he has only valued the troops

purely French; for that in comprehending those of the federative states, the forces of that empire will amount to upwards of 330,000 men. With regard to Austria, her army, far from being recruited since the war, has even been diminished by dis- missals. Before the campaign of 1805, it was estimated at 385,000 fighting men.
PARIS, September 5.
The Negotiation with Russia.
The peace of Presburg, the treaty of peace between Russia and France, and all the consequences of the battle of Austerlitz, have entirely put it out of the power of Russia to disturb the repose of the continent.
We were waiting with as much uncertainty as patience, to know what part the court of Russia would take when M. D'Oubril arrived at Vienna. This minister presented himself to M. de la Rochefoucauld and demanded his passports for Paris.
M. De La Rochefoucauld immediately informed his court of the request of the Russian minister, and received orders to grant the passports immediately to M. D'Oubril; for although the emperor has always been of opinion not to suffer Russia imperiously to interfere in concerns which are placed beyond the sphere of her power and in discussions with which she had no immediate business, yet he was not the less willing to enter into an union that might be useful to the two countries.
M. D'Oubril arrived at Paris the 9th July; he presented himself to the minister of foreign relations, and after some conversation, produced his powers which in the most full and complete manner authorised him to negotiate, conclude and sign a peace between the two governments.
Upon the report of this being made to the emperor, his majesty nominated gen. Clarke, counsellor of state, his minister plenipotentiary, with powers as large as those of M. D'Oubril, to negotiate, conclude and sign a peace with the emperor of Russia.
The plenipotentiaries commenced their deliberations with zeal and activity, and continued them with unremitted attention until at length after very many conferences, a treaty of peace was signed the 20th of July; when the treaty shall be known all Europe will judge whether it is not equally honorable to both governments.
Hostilities were to cease immediately, and on the part of France they did cease. The ratifications were to have been exchanged on the 15th of August, and no doubt existed but that the exchange of ratification would take place, for the negotiators were well known to have enjoyed for a long time the confidence of their sovereigns; they had acted in conformity with the most precise instructions; in short they acted in virtue of ample and positive powers, and not as if they had doubts of their authority upon any point.
M. Ruffin chancellor of the French consulate in Russia, arrived yesterday from Petersburg, and brings intelligence that in consequence of a change of ministers the effect of the new principles adopted by the Russian government, and the extraordinary influence which the English party has obtained over the new cabinet, the treaty of the 20th of July has not been ratified.
Thus hostilities between France and Russia are about to recommence. The conquerors at Ulm and Austerlitz are again assembled under their standards, and approach the field of their triumphs. More powerful in numbers and more formidable than ever, by that organization which has never been equalled, they wait with impatience the impulse of the great soul which animates them.
However, nothing can induce us to presume, that a general continental war will be renewed.
While every event the emperor as well as the French people, are prepared for all chances, and the armies of his majesty will be found wherever it shall be necessary to combat for a durable and glorious peace.
[Here follows a copy of M. D'Oubril's powers, which will be given in our next.]
September 6.
The treaty of Peace between France and Russia has not been ratified by the emperor Alexander. It would be difficult to find out an excuse or a plausible reason in the laws of public or private morality, for this strange refusal. We see no pretext or even any subterfuge for ill faith. It cannot be alleged that the Russian plenipotentiary stepped beyond his authority. Nor were powers more unlimited given, nor was there ever a promise to ratify a
treaty more formal or positive. A constant intelligence was remarked in the course of the negotiations between the courts of St. Petersburg and London, to advance, delay, or break them off. The moment the treaty was signed, M. D'Oubril sent a courier publickly to London, to inform the Russian ambassador of what had just taken place. But this might have been considered as the premature notification of a treaty which the Imperial word naturally held out as ratified. In these circumstances Russia made extraordinary levies; England it was well known was preparing expeditions; but still upon the Imperial word it was natural to believe the treaty would be ratified; and the emperor Napoleon gave so far this testimony of confidence in the good faith of the emperor of Russia, that he directly issued orders for the cessation of all hostilities—This generous precipitancy reminds us of the sending back of the Russian prisoners to Paul I. and to those sent back to his son last campaign; this continuation of generosity forms a singular contrast with the perseverance of hostile sentiments which the emperors of Russia observe towards the emperor of the French, and would alone suffice to mark the differences of their causes.
The emperor Alexander may openly set forth the new grievances he has against France. Faithful to the principles of the treaty of Presburg, she has only completed its execution. The organization of the Germanic confederation was its inevitable consequence; it consecrated the independence of the states which compose it, irrevocably regulated their regulations and put them in harmony with their interests. This association had been long foreseen and called for, as essential to the future repose of Europe. The communications made in this respect between the members of the Germanic body had commenced several months prior to M. D'Oubril's mission to Paris. The pact was made known previous to the signature of the treaty of peace, and France was in the same attitude; she alone had a right to complain that a Russian division persisted in the occupation of a neutral territory.
For want of plausible reasons we may seek for the secret motives of this rupture, we shall find it however to be no more dictated by the interests of Russia, than it is by the laws of honor and justice.
For these fifteen years past a war has been carried on against France, which has indeed often changed its name or its pretext; but the constant aim of which has been to lower or destroy the French power. However, the obstacles set against her have only served as steps to her elevation; the fate of arms has left no other bounds to her preponderance than her own moderation; and such has been her fortune, that the most obstinate of her enemies saw peace as the only means of stopping the flight she had taken. At the time of the organization of the new ministry, there appeared under their auspices at London a work in which this opinion was laid down in a spirit, which announced perhaps less the desire than the necessity of making peace. Whilst the author reproached the former ministers with their inconsistency, their precipitation, their coalitions ill formed & ill conducted, he considered peace as the best means of one day attacking France with success, of extinguishing by degrees her military spirit, of ruining the alliances and repairing the loss of her allies, of concerting more feasible designs and of waiting for more favorable occasions. The Morning Chronicle of the 21st and 22d, following the same principles, does not fear to affirm that no power is now able to attack the prosperity of France, and advises her enemies to adjourn their resentment. Thus according to the most moderate writers, the English government would never see any thing in peace but a means of more advantageously making war. The negotiations they open would be snares, the olive branch they hold out a poison. Under such circumstances, with such enemies, France owes thanks to him, who penetrating their designs, has found means to secure himself against them. But from the fatality ever attached to their plots, after revealing their secrets, they have again betrayed their cause. Their position is not more favorable than at the end of last war.
They have neither more skilful generals, better exercised soldiers, nor better concerted designs. If they again find allies on the continent they devote them to certain ruin. The emperor Napoleon has read their thoughts; he has known how to avail himself of the advantage of his victory; he has been obliged to keep his military attitude; and happily for the future tranquillity of Europe, those who wish only for truces, those who waited for his sleep, and can keep neither their word nor their trea-
ties, will find him still more formidable than in the plains of Austerlitz.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 27.
Extract of a letter from St. Louis, to a gentleman in Georgetown.
"Continent, Missouri, Sept. 22, 1806.
"SIR,
"Captains Lewis and Clark arrived here two hours since, having lost but one man of their party—they enjoy good health and are in high spirits. On their arrival we fired a salute of 17 guns—they have fully completed their tour to the Pacific. After penetrating to the source of the Missouri, they crossed the high mountains and descended Columbia river, and in latitude 46 en- camped for five months on the Pacific ocean.
"I have left the gentlemen for a moment to inform you of their arrival; and an express is about starting with dispatches for the mail."
At a late hour last evening the ship Hardware , captain Law, arrived at this port from Liverpool. He left Liverpool on the 4th of September, and he Rock on the 6th. On the day he sailed it was reported that Mr. Fox was dead; that the negotiations for peace were broken off, and that lord Lauderdale was on his way home.
With respect to Mr. Fox, our Liverpool papers (which are to the 4th September inclusive) inform us that he was tapped a second time on the 30th of August, and had 14 quarts of fetid water taken from him; the report of his death, therefore, is not probably without foundation. The negotiations, we know, from Paris papers, were progressing on the 30th of August, and on the 31st of September no messenger had arrived in London from Paris; the rumor of lord Lauderdale's return is, at best, exceedingly problematical.
The fears of invasion, which were lately so prevalent at Lisbon that many British merchants were selling off their property, had very much abated. At Madrid the opinion of peace was so prevalent that the discount upon the Vales had fallen from 57 to 50 per cent.
Lord St. Vincent, with a number of ships, was in the Tagus, and a considerable addition to his force was under orders for sailing. New-York paper.

Ten Dollars Reward.
ON Tuesday morning the 21st inst. cloped from the plantation of the subscriber, JAMES , a likely young negro fellow; about five feet six or eight inches high; of dark complexion; frowning countenance; and has on his left temple a scar from a burn about the size and shape of a spot in the suit of spades. He has very little clothing with him but what he has on, which is a dark colored surtout, with some interior under clothing, much worn. James was purchased out of Bullet's estate, where he had several connexions, bond and free—His mother Nelly, a free woman, resides in Dumfries; his brother, a free man, at Stafford court-house, as ostler; and I am told that in Alexandria he has several free brothers, who occasionally go by water. It is most likely that if he is not lurking about Mr. Stephen French's, of this county, where he has a wife, he will try to get to Alexandria with his free brothers and pass for a free man too. I therefore strictly forewarn all persons whatsoever from harboring or taking off said fellow at their peril. I would particularly thank all constables and patrollers under whose notice this advertisement comes, to be very strict in examining all negroes who are going about without notes or passes from their masters, and whoever will apprehend JAMES & bring him home, or secure him in any jail, and forward notice so that I get him again, shall receive, if in the county or neighborhood, 2 dollars, or the above reward if taken in Alexandria, or out of the state.

Runaway Negro.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESHAW . He is about 36 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches or 6 feet high, of a tawny complexion, has a scar on one of his jaws or side of his face forming a half circle; I think it is on the right, but am not positive. He is a slim made fellow, with a bushy head, and when spoken to has a scary and down look. When he went away he had a green round coat, buff colored breeches, with homespun clothing, and has never been accustomed to any work but in the crop or field. I have understood he has crossed the Potomac about Britain's Bay, over into Maryland. I expect he has procured a pass and will endeavor to appear as a freeman.
All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harboring or carrying him away under the penalty of the law.
I will give Twenty Dollars reward if taken in Maryland, or Fifteen if taken in the Northern Neck, so that I get him again. George Christopher. Westmoreland County, Vir. } 20 14th September.
