THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
No. XIV.
"Proofs of the corruption of gen. James Wilkinson and of his connection with Aaron Burr," &c.
The last query is, whether Burr did not visit New Orleans in 1805, and whether I was not then there? If the affirmative answer to this question is to imply guilt, every part of the continent which he so rapidly visited in that year would be involved in it, and my immaculate accuser himself would scarcely escape suspicion; for I might, in my turn, ask—Did not col. Burr, in the year 1805, visit St. Louis, and was not gen. Wilkinson governor there? Was he not received with distinction, and sent down with a military barge to New-Orleans? Did not general Wilkinson correspond with colonel Burr; and was not that correspondence in cypher? But I anticipate another branch of my enquiry. I am now on the defensive, and will proceed to shew, that not only the general's witnesses, but the general himself, has attested my innocence of the charge he now makes, and that long after must have known every thing he now pretends to know. On the 10th December, 1806, he writes to me from New-Orleans as follows: "I refer you to the bearer, Mr. Donaldson, for the interesting scenes which agitate our darling city and poor devoted Louisiana. I am here to defend her against revolution and pillage from a hand I have loved. Suspicion is afloat! and numbers are implicated. Thank God, your advice to Bellechasse, if your character was not a sufficient guarantee, would vindicate you against any imputation." At the time this letter was written general Wilkinson had received all those letters, on which he has since founded his charge—he had the post office at his command—he had exercised an inquisitorial power in procuring evidence; and yet he was so far from finding any against me that he cites that of Mr. Bellechasse as being sufficient to vindicate me against any foul imputations. (See No. 70.)
On the 8th day of January, 1807, as appears by the post mark, he wrote a letter, without date or signature, directed on the outside to my partner, D. W. Coxe, at Philadelphia, but designed evidently for me, and directed within to D. C. Esq. This letter is in the hand-writing of Wilkinson, and is highly characteristic of the man. He wished to create an obligation towards him for supporting my character, which he falsely insinuates was implicated, knowing the facts I possessed against him, fearful that I might discover that he had broken the engagement entered into at Loftus's Height, of quitting his Spanish connexion, and that I might then feel myself at liberty to expose his guilt; and he, therefore, while he acknowledges my innocence, wishes to make believe that he has been at some pains to support it.
"It is a fact," he says. "that our FOOL has written to HIS CONTEMPTIBLE FABRICATOR, that you had declared, if you had children, that you would teach them to curse the United States as soon as they were able to lisp, and he gives the mayor and Gurley for authors. Cet Bete is at present up to the chin in folly and vanity. He cannot be supported much longer; for, Burr or no Burr we shall have a revolt, if he is not removed speedily. The moment Bonaparte compromises with Great-Britain will be the signal for a general rising of the French and Spaniards; and if the Americans do not join they will not oppose. Take care! Suspicion is abroad; but you have a friend worth having." (See note no. 71.)
Let us stop here to contemplate the finishing perfidy of this character. At this moment he was cajoling Claiborne, & flattering Mr. Jefferson, by the most fulsome adulation; yet he calls one a fool and the other his contemptible fabricator—he was assuring the people of New-Orleans of his highest confidence and regard for the old inhabitants, yet he anonymously denounces them at the seat of government as malcontents, ready for insurrection. The truth is he wanted Claiborne's place, and thought that, by exposing his imbecility, and raising a fear of war, he would secure it. I communicated this letter as soon as it was received, to Mr. Madison, who appeared astonished at the duplicity and perfidy of the writer.
The next assurance which I received from him was dated the 20th of March, and also unsigned, though in his hand-writing. It is headed ( Confidential. ) and will be found in the Appendix, (No. 72.) He there says—"It has been hinted, that much pains have been employed to induce you to believe that general Wilkinson is hostile to you, and even reported you. This is a stale device to augment the numbers of a desperate party; for the suggestion is without the shadow of foundation."
On the 24th May, in another letter, (No. 73.) he declares, "that it shall be his peculiar duty, pending the highly important developments which are at issue, to watch over and defend your fame."
Finally, in a letter dated 10th July, 1807, from Richmond, he says:—
Extract of a letter from James Wilkinson, dated Washington 10th of July, 1807.
DEAR SIR,
The papers will expose to you the proceedings had in case of Burr, and the artifices of the little scoundrel to excuse himself by criminating me,—as if my sins would lessen his guilt.
It would seem that he has made very free with your name, as it appears from sundry depositions, that he offered bills on you and Ogden indifferently, declaring that you were one of his bankers. I, however, have the satisfaction to assure you, that I did not understand your name was mentioned to or by the grand jury, and where it has been uttered elsewhere in my presence, I have put every injurious idea to ridicule.
The honorable D. Clark.
Hearing, however, that I had been subpoenaed by col. Burr, he became alarmed, and he wrote the letter, (No. 74) dated the 10th of October, 1807, from Richmond, of which he sent a duplicate in the note, (No. 75) by lieutenant Murray, whom he directed to wait my arrival. In this communication it will be perceived how greatly the style is changed. Instead of testimonials of innocence, here are inuendoes of charges, of blind accusations, with which he endeavors to deter me from giving my testimony. My memoir to Mr. Pickering is resorted to as a certificate of his innocence; my tale of a tub letter, as he then called it, is now proof of my guilt.
After perusing this correspondence, it will be naturally asked, when did gen. Wilkinson become suspicious of Mr. Clark's Burrism? when was he convinced of his guilt? The answer may be taken from his own record. He had not a doubt of my innocence, until he believed I was about to testify against him, and he became fully persuaded of my guilt, the moment my duty obliged me to appear as his accuser.
I had forgotten in this enquiry, to notice two letters which the general has thought fit to publish, as proof, I suppose, of my connexion with Mr. Burr. I have not been able to discover, after the closest attention, that they have the slightest bearing on the subject. I annex them, however, (Nos. 76 and 77) that the reader may exercise his ingenuity in the same way. The passages in the first, printed in italics and capitals, are noticed in that way by the general.—Why I know not—unless perhaps he would have it understood, that by the thorny path I had entered, and the trouble I expected , that I meant a confession of my being entered into the path of treason, and that I expected to be hanged. But what then means my request of his advice to direct me ? If indeed, I had intended to enter that path, I could not have applied to a better guide.—But of what use would be " the letters to members of Congress disposed to favor Louisiana ," in such a journey. All comments on this are ridiculous. I was just setting out for Congress, to be the sole representative of an immense country in a high deliberative assembly, and I ask his advice and letters of recommendation. If this can be tortured into proof of treason, no one is innocent.
Here ends the proof against the several charges that have been made to invalidate my testimony, at least such as have come to my knowledge. As I live at a distance others may be in circulation, which have never been communicated to me. This publication will produce enquiry. It will then become the interest of general Wilkinson to substantiate any charge he can make.—Without seeking for celebrity, I may say that I court enquiry into my character, my morals, and every action of my life. I am conscious of none that will render me unworthy the friendship of good men; and with bad ones, I desire no further communication than that I have unfortunately had.

LONDON, August 8.
A formal intimation has lately been given to the Americans at Paris that the government of the United States must soon determine to join the French or the British in the war, as it would no longer be possible to maintain a neutrality between the two belligerent powers.
August 9.
We congratulate the public on the prosperous and successful commencement of the military and naval operations, undertaken on the opposite shores of Holland. Nor do we desire to damp the general satisfaction by any animadversions or reflections, calculated to diminish or detract from the importance of the service and its utility.—However meanly we profess to think of the talents, information or measures of the present administration; however culpable, and even criminal, we consider them, in not having concentrated their means of attack, and applied them to one point, instead of dispersing them all over Europe; however it is to be regretted, that the present expedition was not sent before the subjection of Austria, instead of subsequent to it; nevertheless, we readily embrace any occasion of commending their intentions, even when we most condemn their actions. Even tho' the power of the Austrian family and monarchy should, as we too much apprehend will happen, be crushed and overturned; though Trieste and Fiume should be swallowed up in the territories of France, and every possible means of sending succors by sea to Francis the Second be henceforward precluded; yet may the continent be electrified and recovered, if we can conquer, and can retain, the province of Zealand.—In fact, by the possession of that insular, maritime, and projecting portion of the Low Countries, we become a continental state, occupying that part of the German Ocean intersecting and dissevering France from Holland, commanding the mouths of the Scheldt and of the Meuse, overhanging the Netherlands, and formidable from our vicinity to the usurper, whose capital is on the Seine. We do not hesitate to assert, that if we can garrison the 7 principal islands that constitute Zealand, Napoleon's throne may yet be subverted, and all his gigantic projects of invasion from Flushing and from Antwerp will dissolve. But, it is not by any temporary occupation, or predatory expedition; it is not by merely destroying his fleets, or burning his dock-yards and arsenals, that we can check his progress; we must hold Zealand as we hold Kent and Essex, in defiance of his armies, and his flotillas, and his utmost force. It may be so held. We mean the islands from Voorn to Cadzand, inclusively, because they are all separated, though by narrow channels, from the main land. The danger of frost is not such as to prevent it. Did we not, during the late war, occupy the little rocks or islands of St. Marcou, scarcely separated from the coast of Normandy, for successive years? To this subject we shall return; but we wish previously to know that Flushing has surrendered, and to form some opinion upon the ulterior plans and intentions of administration, in their present enterprise against Zealand.
An article dated Tarragona, the 7th last month, announces the receipt of letters from lord Collingwood, stating, that the combined Sicilian and English army, to the amount of 18,000 men, had landed at Salerno. Salerno is a town with a good harbor, about 26 miles E. S. E. of Naples. The Toulon fleet lately manifested a disposition to put to sea, but its fears prevailed, and it remained in port.
Orders have very properly been given to prepare hospitals, at Deal and Ramsgate, for 1500 sick and wounded; this is intended as precautionary only, 150 of the latter being the utmost number at present expected from the Dutch coast.
The ship called the Dominica Packet, has lately returned to Liverpool, from South America; where she had been seventy miles up the river, to the port of Para, being the first British vessel that ever entered there.—The commander fired a salute upon entering the port which was answered by multitudes of inhabitants on the shores rejoicing; and the ladies from the windows of the houses, waving their handkerchiefs, and exclaiming—"Long live the English," &c. &c.—On the supercargo of the vessel's going on shore he was received with all the pomp of an Indian prince; numbers of women preceded him in grand procession, strewing flowers, and every demonstration of joy was manifested. In this fertile country, cows are sold for five dollars.
Extracts of letters from officers on the expedition, dated "East Scheldt, Aug. 2."
"The division which landed here met with no opposition on their landing, owing to so many attacks being made on the island at the same time. Every town in Walcheren is taken except Flushing, which we are at this moment bombarding; but, as we were informed, general Mouncey has thrown himself into the place with 4,500 men, there is a probability that it will hold out to the last—that, however, cannot be long; neither shall we wait for it before we proceed to other operations. Lord Rosslyn's division proceeds up the river this day in transports: they are directed to disembark about 12 miles from Antwerp: there we expect hot work, but are anxious to get on shore, to share and promote the glory of our country. The troops are in higher spirits, and better condition, if possible, than when we sailed from the chalky cliffs of Britain.—The seventy-first regiment took Canvure by storm."
"OFF WALCHEREN, August 4."
"The fortress of Canvure stood a furious bombardment before it surrendered; many houses are damaged, one completely burnt by Congreve's rockets. The island is beautiful, though the weather is very bad, which prevents our seeing it to advantage. It is reported, that the duke d'Abrantes is marching towards Antwerp with 30,000 men.—We are going to join lord Gardner in an attack upon Flushing; the land batteries were opened yesterday evening. I could observe the town on fire; and from the mast head the smoke is very visible."
"The French fleet are run up towards Antwerp, I fear out of our reach at present. Our small gun-boats did great execution, only two men were killed on board them.—The royals stormed a battery in a most glorious style."

Extract of a letter from Martinique to the Editor of the Norfolk Ledger.
ST. PIERRE, Sept. 2.
"I inclosed you one late paper yesterday, I now have the pleasure of inclosing you a note taken from the Insurance Office books here, and which is correct. Twenty odd American vessels in port, chiefly cargoes of flour on shore and afloat—last sales $8 1-2 cash. Within the last 8 days, six American captains have died of a fever, as also several Europeans—Indeed it has not been so sickly for many years as at this moment. There are a great number of row-boats as well as privateer schooners out from Guadalupe, and lately they have been successful in capturing prizes. His majesty's sloop of war arrived this morning with an English barque from Halifax, and an American schooner from North Carolina recaptured against Guadalupe in the course of the fall, there is no doubt."
The Spanish ship Palafax from Cadiz en route to La Vera Cruz, arrived at Barbados the 29th August, and brings letters and newspapers to the 1st of the same month. The French armies amounting to 60,000 men in Spain, had concentrated themselves in or near Madrid under marshals Victor, Soult, Ney, and gen. Sebastiani, where they were surrounded by the combined forces of Spain, Britain and Portugal, amounting to 120,000 men.
THE ALLOCUTION
Of his Holiness PIUS VII. to
THE EMPEROR BONAPARTE.
Since the time, when by the decree of providence, notwithstanding our unworthiness, we were invested with the sovereign pontificate, you have been a witness of our wishes for the spiritual peace of the Catholic Church—You have been a witness of our wishes for the spiritual peace of the French people and of our paternal condescension. You have been a witness of the benefits, which we have conferred on the Gallican church, yourself and your subjects. You have been a witness that under all the circumstances, we have lent ourselves, as far as lay in our power, to all the concessions and concordats with the French empire and Kingdom of Italy. In fine, you have been a witness of the immense sacrifices which we have made to the delinquent of our people, for the benefit and the repose of the French and Italian nations; and which are such that our subjects already are unable to procure the means of subsistence—You however in return for so many favors, have not ceased to fill our hearts with bitterness, to reduce us to the greatest extremities under false pretences and to harass our conscience. In return for the ecclesiastical concordat, you have not ceased to seek to destroy it by separate laws, called organic. You have made to us propositions, calculated to that effect, and irreconcilable with the morality of the gospel and with the unalterable maxims of the universal Catholic Church. In return for these benefits, the states of the Holy See have had to support the enormous burden of your troops, in such a way, that since the year 1801 up to the present time, they have wasted five millions of Roman crowns, without keeping the solemn promise of the re-imbusement by the kingdom of Italy. In return for these immense sacrifices you have despoiled us of the churches of Benevento and of Ponte Corvo, under promises of indemnifying the Holy See, in the most generous manner. In return for our condescension, you have demanded our sanction to articles contrary to the law of nations, to the unity and the canons of the church, to the good of the Catholic religion of other kingdoms, and destruction of our independence and of the liberty of the church. To accomplish these designs, you have invaded as an enemy, not our states only, but the estates given to the Apostolic See by the piety and generosity of sovereigns, for the most part French, states consecrated to the independence and to the liberty of the successors of St. Peter, and confirmed to the common father of all the faithful, by all the Catholic princes, during eleven centuries of possession, in order that the common father might enjoy in the midst of his children, complete liberty and independence. In short, you have invaded, as an enemy, the capital itself; you have caused the military to revolt; you have occupied with an armed force the post office and the printing houses; you have torn from our bosom our counsellors, who aided us in conducting the affairs of the Catholic church and the ministers of justice; you have even
kept us prisoners in our apostolic residence, while our people were trod upon by your soldiers. We even appeal to yourself, to pronounce your own conduct marked by a contempt of all the rights of nations, of your sacred duties and your people. We appeal even to you as a man whom we have consecrated, and who had sworn to repair the losses and maintain the rights of the church. Take care, however, lest if you do not stop short, we should exercise, tho' in all humanity of heart, that authority which almighty God has placed in our hands; take care lest you add new motives to make known to the world the justice of our cause; for then, all the misfortunes which shall fall on our conduct must be passed to your personal responsibility.
Excommunication of Bonaparte.
We have been favoured with a copy of the discourse addressed on the 11th July 1798 by the Pope to Bonaparte, recapitulating the injuries he had heaped upon him and admonishing him against the consequences, which would inevitably ensue. As it was never hitherto before the public, it will be read with deep interest. For its authenticity we pledge ourselves. The picture it exhibits of mixed violence and deceit, of broken promises and heedless injustice, has been furnished by every year of the tyrant's power. But the degradation of the Head of the Roman Church, whom he formerly considered of so much importance to his authority, as to constrain him by military force disguised as a complimentary escort, to sanctify his coronation at Paris, is an index which marks one of the periods of his progressive audacity, and contempt for the general opinion.
Nor has Pius the 7th been destitute of a vigour of character commensurate with the great exigency. We do not recollect that any of his predecessors has brandished the spiritual weapon against a refractory sovereign, since Clement the 7th excommunicated Henry the 8th of England for divorcing Catharine of Aragon.
With the Gallican Church the Catholics of this country have no peculiar connection; but these incidents will give rise to a new persecution of the French Clergy—Every priest, who is fearless enough to prefer his duty to the head of the Church to his obedience to an excommunicated head of the state, will omit him in his prayers. The misery individuals will be made to suffer on this account may be calculated; but what change it will produce in the connection between the papal supremacy and the church of France, it is not easy to foresee, because Bonaparte's actions are generally compounded of management as well as power.

NEW-YORK, Sept. 30.
We stop the press at 1 o'clock this morning, to announce the arrival below, of the ship Triton, capt. Henderson. She sailed from Liverpool the 18th of August, and brings London dates to the 15th.
These papers contain the official particulars of the battle fought in Spain on the 27th and 28th July. The intelligence reached London on the 14th August, and the Park and Tower guns fired on the occasion, and the following official note was sent to the Lord Mayor.
Downing-Street, 14th August 1809.
"My lord—I have the honor to inform your lordship, that the enemy having assembled on the Alberche all his forces in that part of Spain, consisting of the corps of Victor, of Sebastiani, and of 7 or 8000 troops from Madrid, the whole under the personal command of Joseph Bonaparte, assisted by marshals J. Murdan and Victor, and gen. Sebastiani, attacked the combined army posted at Talavera, on the 27th and 28th ult. The efforts of the enemy were chiefly directed against the British troops, and I have the satisfaction to acquaint your lordship, that on both days he was defeated with the most distinguished gallantry, and compelled to retire over the Alberche, with the loss of not less than 10,000 men, 20 pieces of cannon, and five standards. A victory so glorious to his majesty's arms, has not been purchased without a severe loss on our part. We have to lament the loss of major gen. Mackenzie, brigadier general Langworth, and many other gallant officers who have fallen on this occasion. The total loss on both days is stated to be killed, 301; wounded 3913; missing 353. The French generals Lapisse and Morlot are killed, generals Sebastiani and Bonet, wounded."
"I have the honor to be, &c."

The following M E D I C I N E S are sold by ROBERT GRAY , Bookseller in King-street—and by A. HING STON , Fairfax-street, Alexandria.
For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant fevers.
Lee's Anti-bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee and Son.
Persons wishing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for Lee's Anti-bilious Pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper the signature of Richard Lee and Son. This is necessary, as there are other pills of the same name.
The operation of these highly esteemed pills is perfectly mild, and the experience of thousands has proved, they may be used in every situation in life without the least inconvenience or danger.
They are admirably adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions: to restore the appetite, produce a regular habit of the body, promote free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, so often attended with fatal consequences to the lives of thousands, and seldom, if ever, fail to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Habitual costiveness, and its opposite, are removed by their wholesome influence, as also those diseases arising from them, headaches and sickness at the stomach.
It is almost unnecessary to state, that on the regular habit of the system the health of mankind depends. To conduct to this all-important object, perhaps no medicine was ever more generally successful than these pills: they never do harm, and at least nine times out of ten afford relief to those who use them for the purposes for which they were intended.
With the most perfect confidence we recommend these pills to the public, and will only further add, that their operation is always pleasant, and that they leave nothing of that costiveness behind them too often attending medicines designed for similar purposes.
Ten years have justified us in stating these facts, during which we have had a very extensive and constantly increasing sale for this truly valuable medicine.
To the Ladies,
Whose laces and complexion are injured with Freckles, Pimples, Black Worms, Tan or Ayburn, Ring worms, Prickly Heat, &c.
To those persons is recommended
Lee's Persian Lotion,
A certain remedy for removing those disagreeable barriers to beauty, the proprietors with the most sacred regard to truth, and the credit of those medicines, assure the afflicted that all the different appearances above enumerated, are in a short time subdued by wetting the parts affected, with this pleasant fluid, according to the directions on each bottle.
Persons therefore who regard, either what is due to themselves, or the favor and opinion of the world, who can distinguish between the comeliness of health, and the deformity of disease, and who can weigh the advantages which belong to and are inseparable from an engaging appearance, to which perhaps they themselves, have by nature, the strongest claims, are seriously assured these advantages so far as belong to a good skin, are to be obtained by the use of his Lotion, however violently they may happen to be afflicted.
Instead of the studious and debilitating courses of medicines which patients went through formerly, and which perhaps they are still too frequently obliged to undergo, it is now found that the greatest number of these complaints are most certainly & speedily removed by the use of local remedies merely, than they ever were by a contrary course.
LEE'S LOTION
Is celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face and skin, of every kind. It operates mildly without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is so essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth. Sold at the Bookstore.
The article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of
RICHARD LEE & SON.
Persons not attending to the above, are liable to be imposed upon.

Attention to Fortune Hunters, And Possession will be given immediately—any day.
I WISH to sell, the unexpired lease of 8 years, from the 10th day of December next, in the elegant and commodious HOTEL I now occupy in Alexandria. This establishment is justly celebrated as affording the best accommodations on the continent, and to a man of attention and abilities in the line of his profession, cannot fail to yield a handsome fortune. The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.
Attached to the tavern, is a well conducted coffee house, supported by a respectable subscription.
Together with an insurance office.
There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel.
The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the greater part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms.
