MR. EDITOR,
THE "blasted hand" of the nerveless withered Spaniard is raised to slap our executive in the face. But all the world knows that Bonaparte is the radius of the political circle, and the point on which this movement of the prince of peace is turning. He might wave his hand, and the contention is at an end. There is a meaning in this business, which has never yet been explained. Is the strip of land between the Mississippi and Perdido the cause of the dispute? I think not. It cannot be, that for a handful of sand, Spain would subject herself to a war, from which she would lose much more than she obtained. Spain never wished for war since her conquest of South America. She has patiently submitted to many indignities from the European powers, and her very alliance with France furnishes testimony in proof of the assertion. She was compelled to fight a nation against whom she had no cause of quarrel, in order to procrastinate the period when she is herself to be conquered by France. What can she hope to gain from a war with America? A mite. What would she lose by it? A mine.
It is therefore evident, that Bonaparte, who created this tumult, might easily appease it, and that he does not, must proceed from one of two reasons:
He may indulge the vain hope of a peace with England, and has required the Spaniards to furnish him with some pretext to occasion a quarrel, which he might hope would eventuate in getting us within the rude grasp of this ruthless Corsican. In this case, he would wish to retain every inch of ground to which Spain has devised a pretension, in order to make an ample location for his armies, and to get as much into our neighborhood as he can, for the convenience of conquering the United States.
It may be for this purpose that intrigues are deposited in the very breast of our country. That the marquis is strutting through Philadelphia, and that Mr. Turreau offered 900 dollars towards the establishment of a French paper in New York. It is needless to deny this fact, I saw Mr. Turreau's letters on the subject.
And here let me remark, that Mr. Jefferson was a subscriber for this paper, tho' I pretend not to accuse him of any sinister motives. It was perhaps merely from apprehension. It is needless to deny this fact, I was present when the money was paid.
This object, I say, may have been the occasion of Bonaparte's stimulating the feeble Don to a rupture with America. This may have been the reason that our exterior is made the theatre of war, and that while a negotiation is pending for defining the boundaries, they are about being marked out with the blood of my countrymen.
But there may be another reason. It may be that the whole is merely intended to alarm and deceive; that it is nothing more than a state frolic, to shake a few millions more out of the American purse. To induce us to believe that France and Spain are coming upon us in a torrent of fire, in order to obtain from us five, or six, or seven millions of dollars, in addition to the two millions we have sent already. The proceedings of the next congress will shew whether there be any thing in this conjecture. But if they are really in earnest; if it be a fact, why is there not a greater force stationed at Natchitoches than 600 men? Why are not the militia of Orleans, who it was pretended were so long ordered out, now on their march? Where are the three companies of regulars so long sent for? Why does general Wilkinson try to argue governor Arrara out of the country; to meet him and persuade him with all the soothing blandishments so congenial to the general's temper, to be so good as to quit the country? Why does general Wilkinson go off to New Orleans, a distance of some hundred miles, at the moment the Spanish army had crossed the Sabine, entered the American territory, and placed itself in the very spot from whence the brave Turner had before expelled them?
These circumstances would almost induce one to think that there is some state juggler behind the curtain. But after all, I am rather of opinion that the first reason I have given is the best. I think the Corsican means to hew down the pillars of the state—he will wipe off every vestige of republicanism and liberty, which remains on the face of the world. He has thus far effected his purpose, and the track of liberty is not discernible in any country but this. What is become of the republic of Venice? Where is Holland and West Friesland, Guiderland, Utrecht, Overijssel, & Groningen? What has become of Switzer-
land? And what may be expected to become of America, if the only dependance is on the mercy of Bonaparte, and the bravery of Jefferson!
But then some men, and some very good men too, say that America is (on her own ground) a match for the world. Let us try it by those plain calculations which are within the comprehension of every capacity.
How many inhabitants has France? 35 millions. How many inhabitants has America? Why, including negroes, &c.—six.
We have repulsed England, it is true, which has not a greater population than ourselves, when we had almost the whole world in our favor, when we had also Washington to "set our forces in array." Whom have we now in alliance? Those who were our allies have become our enemies; a cold clod rests on that bosom which once warmly panted for our country's glory—and Mr. Jefferson is commander in chief!
With regard, however, to any foreign alliance, I am not at present prepared decisively to speak. It is not the intention of this piece. I want only for the present to call your attention to our defenseless state. To shew you that our navy should not any rate be so mean as that (to use the language of the marquis Yrujo) "six Spanish ships could blockade all our harbors." That we ought also to fortify those places which are most penetrable, and send off instantly those who remain among us as spies and traitors; as managers of a system of espionage which under the French direction unhappily pervades the world, and even enters into the solitude of domestic comfort. And when it is declared by Mr. Jefferson's own partizans that two or three thousand French troops could scour our country!
On the subject of these same fortifications much, very much, must and will be said. It is high time to call the American prospect from the view of major Claiborne's couch, where he says we are "perfectly tranquil," to the murky channel in which France would bury this country. I have prepared more on this subject than you can now give a place to. But thank God! our congress is soon to set. Mr. Randolph, who will be continued by Mr. Macon as the chairman of the committee of ways and means, will also see the propriety of what I have suggested. He can carry it through in spite of the tremors of timidity, or the dusky, undermining arts of low and pitiful evasion. I know his mind to be decorated with the fairest flowers that ever bloomed in the gardens of eloquence. I know that his bosom glows with an honest, an ardent, and a native love of liberty and his country. I have seen him with sparkling eyes, and a beating heart, rise up to defend the measures which he then thought to be right, and I have the most implicit confidence that he will, with the same manly vigor, oppose the measures which he now knows to be wrong.
I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, &c. A. Z.

MR. THOMAS, JUN.
I send you the following extract for republication. It originally appeared in a South Carolina paper of September, 1798, as an extract of a letter from general Bonaparte at Toulon to an American at Bordeaux, and was supposed to be authentic.
The former sentiments of that extraordinary man will amuse the speculative, and his remarks on the American republic cannot but be peculiarly interesting. The reader will form his own opinion how far his anticipations of the fate of our Colossus are realized; and how true, of the consequences of its FALL.
THE EXTRACT.
"You soon depart for the western and I for the eastern hemisphere. A new career of action is opened before me, and I hope to unite my name with new & great events, and with the unrivalled greatness of the republic. You go to unite yourself, once more, with a people, among whom I behold, at once the simple ages of Rome, and the luxury of her decline; where I see the taste, the sensibility and the science of Athens with her factions, and the valor of Sparta without her discipline.
"As a citizen of the world I would address your country in the following language. Every man and nation is ambitious; ambition grows with power, as the blaze of the vertical sun is most fierce. Cherish, therefore, a national spirit; strengthen your political institutions; re-
member that armies and navies are of the same use in the world, as the police in London or Paris, and soldiers are not much like a potter's vessel in a minute.
"Cultivate union, or your empire will be but a Colossus of gold, fallen on the earth, broken in pieces, and the prey of foreign and domestic Saracens. If you are wise, your republic will be permanent; and perhaps Washington will be hailed as the founder of a glorious and happy empire, when the name of Bonaparte shall be obscured by succeeding revolutions."

THURSDAY, October 23.
Gabriel Christie, Esq. has been appointed Collector of the port of Baltimore.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at the Isle of France, to his friend in Philadelphia dated 5th July, 1806.
"A French frigate has arrived at Port South-East, with a very valuable prize. An English East-India Company ship, bound from China to Europe, fully and richly laden. We have not heard what her cargo is composed of, but it must be immense, as she is a ship of 1600 tons, well armed and fought the frigate (carrying 44 eighteen pounders) during two hours and a half; she was separated from her consort in a gale of wind; the frigate and privateer are out in search of the other.
From the Baltimore Federal Gazette.
Messrs. Yandt & Brown,
Please to announce that T. Jordan, the person who passed a counterfeit 50 dollar bill, of the bank of Baltimore, in our city about two weeks ago; was on the 18th inst. arrested and committed to prison, in New York. There were found on him, hundred, as well as fifty dollar counterfeit bank notes, of the bank of Baltimore, of which the public will please to take notice.
Yours, J. COX.
The following summary of European Affairs is copied from a late London paper.
Our intelligence from the continent comes down to the end of last week. It comes from Paris, Holland, Hamburgh, and Gottenburgh. From
RUSSIA
we have nothing to indicate what determination the emperor is likely to take, in regard to the treaty with France, which Mr. D'Oubril, will present for his ratification. The Russian colonies established on the Black Sea under the direction of the duke of Richelieu are said to be very prosperous. Turkey at the instigation of France, almost threatens Russia with war. Intelligence has been received from Mr. Silesius, one of the companions of captain Krusenstern, with accounts of the visits of the voyages, to the island of Owhyhee. Baron Budberg and count Schlickoff are now the ministers for Foreign affairs; Prince Lapuchin is at the head of the Judiciary establishment; count Kotechobly is minister for the home department; count Waschhoff the finances; count Romanzoff, for trade; general Wasminstoff, for military affairs.
TURKEY
presents still a government in subserviency to foreign powers, a tumultuous army in the neighborhood of the capital, rebellious provinces, surrounding powers all gaping for a partition.
AUSTRIA
sees its imperial house now shorn of its ancient honors. Its administration is hostile and odious to France. It cannot resist the changes by which France dismembers the German empire, yet does not cordially submit to them. French troops still hover near its confines. We do not know that it has been enabled to surrender Cuttaro to France. Even its existence as an independent power is threatened. Perhaps its dominions may be destined to become an appendage of the Bonaparte family.
PRUSSIA,
as we have formerly intimated, seems to meditate a northern confederacy, by which Saxony, Hesse, Hanover, Mecklenburg, &c. may be associated under its dominion.
HOLLAND
is discontented under Louis Bonaparte's reign. He has endeavored, with little skill or success, to diminish the public expenditure of the government. The seamen are unwilling to serve under him. But the yoke of France must, perforce, be endured.
PARIS
is the seat of negotiations determining the fate of Europe. The treaty of the confederacy of the Rhine effectively uniting Bavaria, Baden, Hesse, Hohenzollern, Wurtemberg, Salma, Kyrburg, and Isenburg to France, was signed there on the 12th and 19th July. It adds 70,000 German auxili-

ries to the forces of France. The treaty with Russia, abandoning to France, the middle, the west, and the south of Europe, was signed there on the 20th July. Schemes to dismember Spain, in favor of the Prince of Peace, and to dethrone the royal family of Portugal have been matured. English negotiators have been detained there in uncertain negotiation, till France has, by their presence, been enabled to separate almost all our allies from us. A congregation of the Jews has been assembled at the same place; and Bonaparte has proposed his curious doubts respecting their religion and policy, to be resolved by their Rabbins. The French funds have fluctuated like our own as the negotiations went on. It seems now probable that the treaty with England must be broken off; and that the English envoys are to return, re incerto .
ITALY
furnishes little new intelligence—Gaeta has fallen. Much Neapolitan property has been confiscated to gratify the French army. The Calabrians, with aid from sir Sidney Smith, are enabled to resist the career of the French. Sicily is still free.—Malta is strong in troops, whom it presumes in good health. The port of Venice is still under blockade.
THE WEST-INDIES.
are delivered from the presence of Jerome Bonaparte. Guadalupe and Martinique flourish. Hayti maintains its independence. The Havanna is the emporium of a brisk trade. The markets in the British islands are most abundantly supplied with American commodities. Miranda has returned from Barbadoes to Trinidad, he goes with a considerable strength of new supplies, against the Carracas.
From the NORFOLK LEDGER.
The editor of this paper has received a letter from a friend in Bordeaux, dated the 17th of August, of which he offers his readers an extract, and he ventures to assure them, that the writer is a person of intelligence, and respectability.
"I have had it in contemplation for some days past, to address you on the subject of the pending negotiations, between England and this country. They lately assumed a character, strongly indicative of an approaching peace; but the rumors have been so various and contradictory and the sources of our information so obscure and suspicious, that I deemed it useless to offer intelligence, of which I could not guarantee the authenticity. At the beginning of this month, the opinions of all classes of people were so universally in favor of peace, that preparations were absolutely made to receive and welcome the courier who was hourly expected to appear, and announce its conclusion. This impression was strengthened by the arrival of lord Lauderdale at Calais, on the 3d instant, and at Paris on the 5th, and the erroneous reports of the frigate who brought him over having exchanged a salute of 21 guns with the battery of the former place, and of his lordship having been presented to the emperor on the 6th at the court of the Thuilleries*. The first of these reports originated from the circumstance of the frigate having fired 15 guns when lord Lauderdale and his secretaries, Messrs. Stuart and Madison, came from along side. I do not know to what cause the report of his presentation at court is to be attributed. A very intelligent and well informed correspondent wrote me on the 10th instant from Paris, stating that lord Lauderdale had been closeted 3 hours on the preceding evening with Mr. Champagny, minister of the interior, and general Clarke, who enjoys the highest credit at the court of St. Cloud. The result of this meeting was very different from what was at first conjectured. The object of the interview was to remove the obstacles which still divided the two cabinets, but so far from its accomplishment, the breach is said to have been widened, and the official communication we have this day received from Paris, under date of the 13th instant confirms this opinion. I transmit you here, with a copy of the note published by government, and extracted from the Moniteur of the 13th. It alludes to several important political events, but particularly to the ratification of the peace with Russia, the acknowledgment of the king of Holland and Naples, and duke of Cleves and Berg, by the emperor of Austria and king of Prussia, and to the causes of the interruption of the negotiations between France & Great Britain.
* According to established etiquette, lord Lauderdale could not be presented to the emperor until after a treaty was signed; so says Journal de l'Empire of the 12th of August.
If I was to make a conjecture on the latter circumstance, I should attribute it to this government's insisting on some relaxation on the Maritime Jurisprudence of England. It is very possible that one or the other governments may publish the correspondence in which their respective interests and pretensions have been discussed, to render the public the arbiter of the justice and moderation of their conduct. Sales in colonial produce have been almost entirely suspended for the last three weeks in consequence of the apprehension of peace. Three days ago however a large speculation was made in Coffee, for a house in Paris, who doubtless had early information of the interruption of the negotiations. Martinique coffee which was selling before the appearance of peace at sixty three and sixty four sous, was bought at fifty six and fifty seven. Eight hundred bales of Bourbon was sold at 55 sous, which a month ago was worth 61 1/2 sous. Business will not resume its activity before lord Lauderdale leaves Paris. He is said to have demanded his passports which were not immediately granted—and it is asserted that he dispatched a courier to London on the 12th inst."
To the Editor of the London Star.
Sir, THE following singular coincidences may furnish matter for reflection to the curious. It has been generally admitted that the Roman empire, after passing under seven different forms of government (or seven heads) was divided into ten kingdoms in Europe (the ten horns of Daniel and John) and that notwithstanding the various changes Europe has undergone, the number of kingdoms was generally about ten.
It is not a little surprising that the heralds of the Family of Napoleon , who has effected such a change in the same empire, are exactly seven, viz.
 1. Napoleon.  2. Joseph, king of Naples.  3. Louis, king of Holland.  4. Jerome.  5. Murat, duke of Berg and Cleves.  6. Cardinal Fesch.  7. Beauharnois, the adopted son of Napoleon. 
And also, that the members of the new federation are just ten, viz.
 1. Bavaria  2. Wirtemberg  3. Baden  4. Darmstadt  5. Nassau  6. Yssemburg  7. Hohenzollern  8. Arenberg  9. Salm  10. Leyen 
It is also remarkable, that in the man's name, Napoleon Bonaparte, there are precisely three times 6 letters—
NAPOLEON BUON APARTE.
  6  6  6  666    And in his name is contained the name given by John to the king of the Locusts, who is called APOLION, or the Destroyer. A. B.
From the Orange County Republican.
An infallible cure for a FELON. Take a piece of Rock Salt, about the size of a butternut, wrap it in a green cabbage leaf, if to be had, if not, in brown wet paper. Lay it in hot embers, and cover it as you would to roast an onion; after about twenty minutes, take it out and powder it as fine as possible.
Take hard soap and mix the powdered salt with so much of the soap, that it will make a salve. If the soap has but little turpentine in it, as may be known by the smell, then add a little turpentine, but if the soap smells pretty strong of the turpentine, none need be added. Apply the salve when made, to the part affected by the Felon, and it will in a few hours (and sometimes in a few minutes) totally destroy the Felon and remove all pain.
If the Felon has suppurated or has got matter in it, after the pain is removed it must be healed as other sores are.
The above receipt was given by Deacon Ichabod Carmickle of Lumberland. He is a man of known veracity and truth, he asserts, that for twenty years past he has made use of the foregoing salve, and in many cases where the Felon had arisen to an alarming and dangerous state, and has never failed of an effectual cure.
It was the special desire of Deacon Carmickle that the foregoing receipt should be made public.

Runaway Negro. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESHAM. He is about 35 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 he never been accustomed to any work but indoor 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. } 29 42 14th September. }
Thirty Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY, from the subscriber, on Sunday night last, a negro man, named STEPHEN, who calls himself Stephen Parton; about 35 years of age, and about 5 feet 6 inches high, strong made, broad face, high cheeks and coarse boney features—he was formerly used to work in a vessel as a cook, which he understands tolerable well, also washing and house work, which he has been accustomed to occasionally. Took with him a half worn brown broad cloth coat, a dark striped mousel skin jacket, a pair corduroy pantaloon near white, and a pair nankeen ditto, some white linen shirts, and an ozanburg shirt and pair of trousers, also a black fur hat, and is supposed to have other cloaths not particularly known. He is a remarkable artful fellow and will likely change his name and cloaths, and also have got a pass.—Masters of vessels and other persons are warned not to harbor or employ said fellow in any manner whatever. Whosoever apprehends said fellow and secures him in any gaol within the state of Maryland or District of Columbia, so that I get him again, shall receive a reward of Twenty Dollars, if within 25 miles from home above that distance and within the state aforesaid, Twenty five Dollars, and if out of the state or District aforesaid, or within the city of Baltimore, the above reward and all reasonable charges if brought home.
