PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA,
ENTITLED,
THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principles shall be satisfactory to the moderate of both parties, presents to his friends and the liberal public in general, the following outlines of his plan, hoping that they may be consonant to feelings warm in the defence of liberty and the true interests of the country.
The work will at all times be open to the discussion of political matters, destitute of rancor on the one hand, or of overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, never sacrificing for any purpose the real interest of the community, or wandering from the established standard of truth.
In the natural course of affairs, it will sometimes be necessary, from a want of political matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instructive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of genuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of information will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflections of the man of science, or the deep research of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters, touching Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learning or the mechanic arts, will be particularly sought after, and punctually inserted.
The editor, earnestly desirous to conciliate parties, will use his most strenuous endeavors to effect so desirable an object—and in the town of Alexandria, where he is attached by the strongest ties of nature, and of interest, he will ever consider it as a primary object, to destroy those seeds of dissention which have had the tendency to retard the growth and prosperity of the town. It is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the minutia of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admired maxims in governmental institutions.
The principles of the great and illustrious Washington, together with his services, shall ever be revered.
The editor is far from desiring to impose on the minds of those who may favor him with their patronage, that his mind has assumed no stand on the important subject of politics, no! on the contrary, he unequivocally declares, that his sentiments are decidedly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be obtained this paper will be printed, weekly, at 2 1/2 50 cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in advance, after the receipt of the first number.
It will be printed with a neat type, and on good paper of the ordinary size. If adequate encouragement should be offered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the necessary materials, and contracted with a gentleman of abilities to assist in the execution of the work, the citizens of Alexandria will be immediately waited on for their patronage—Subscription papers will also be left at the Coffee House and at the principal Book Stores,
T. Longden.

THE THIRTY-THIRD YEAR OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE, JULY 5th.
THE thirty-second year of American liberty is closed, and the thirty-third has been ushered in by the acclamations of a free and high-spirited people. Amid the bustle and conviviality which attend the annual return of that glorious day which conferred Independence on United America, the boding voice of prudent foresight, tho' it had spoken in thunder to the people, would have been disregarded. The enthusiasm which that day excites, is praiseworthy, is generous, is noble. But enthusiasm is a fleeting emotion, and scarcely survives the excitement by which it is produced.
It becomes you, Citizens of America, at a period so momentous as this, coolly to reflect on your situation and prospects. You should diligently compare the present state of your country with the past, and if changes have taken place which threaten to destroy your happiness and your liberty, you should anxiously investigate the causes which have produced them, and apply the best remedy in your power.
How sad a picture does our beloved country at this moment present to our view. We behold a people, who, a short time since, were prosperous and happy, oppressed by a multitude of evils, and struggling with calamity. We behold a commerce, which lately covered the ocean—which made the American name to be known and respected by the remotest nations—which by cherishing the spirit of enterprise, and conferring wealth upon our citizens, added to the real strength of the country—we behold that commerce totally suspended. But worse than all, we behold a power erected in a free country upon the ruin of the laws. The executive has assumed legislative authority, and presumes to issue mandates to a free people.
Let us briefly enquire into the cause of these multiplied evils. The difficulties which oppress us from without, arise, in a great measure, out of the unjust pretensions and aggressions of the European powers. But the question immediately presents itself, Would not a bold and manly policy in our rulers have secured to us a more respectable standing with the European nations, and have prevented those aggressions which our timidity has invited? The powers of Europe are unjust: their conduct is regulated by a maxim which has given the finishing blow to that antiquated code the law of nations—A maxim which declares that the rights of a nation are all comprehended under one, the right to seize what it can, and retain it as long as it can. As those powers, then, can only be operated upon through the medium of their hopes and their fears, it follows, that a bold and determined line of conduct is the one which should be pursued, in our intercourse with them. Has such been the conduct of our present rulers? Every act of their administration loudly proclaims the negative. An enumeration would be tedious and disgusting—it would be gratifying to the feelings of the American who loves his country, and wishes to see it respectable among the nations of the earth.
The difficulties, then, which beset us in our foreign relations, have their source in the injustice of the European powers, which is stimulated into action by the timid and cowardly policy of a feeble administration. The embargo, the fruitful source of so many present calamities to the people, is an effect of the same timid policy, attempting to ward off the evils which press upon us, by a perseverance in the conduct which first occasioned them—Of a policy, which avenges the infringement of our maritime rights, and the grossest insults to our dignity, by withdrawing from the ocean, and relinquishing, at once, the grand object of dispute—Of a policy, which vainly expects to frighten the nations of Europe into a regard for our rights by means of an embargo—Which supposes that those mighty powers, who have been engaged for many years in a conflict so tremendous—who have been unappalled by the most signal misfortunes—who have learned to view with indifference the most terrible calamities which deluded man can inflict on his brother—that those powers will abandon all their unjust pretensions through fear of a temporary suspension of their intercourse with our country. Can any reasonable man suppose that such will be the result? That an effect so mighty will be produced by means so feeble? Yet such a result is expected by our administration: and that they do expect it is a glaring evidence of their incapacity.
The embargo, then, is too feeble a weapon to prostrate, with a blow, the haughty Europeans. It is nevertheless the duty of every citizen to respect those of its regulations which are sanctioned by law. But what shall we say, when the magistrate to whom a free people have intrusted the mere execution of the laws, presumes upon his own authority to enact them? When he presumes to add new restrictions to those imposed upon our commerce by the constitutional legislature?—When he employs our ships of war in the enforcement of his unconstitutional, his tyrannical mandate? Such conduct unprecedented in a country, whose inhabitants have hitherto been proud of their liberty. But it is much to be feared, that
far from desperate. Wisdom points out a path to certain security. To pursue this path, the people must have virtue, fortitude, and courage—they must no longer close their eyes to the dangers that threaten them—they must no longer blindly confide in their favorites. Would the people be sensible to their true situation, they may be yet rescued from the danger which awaits them; they may be saved from the common grave in which the liberties of Europe, have been entombed, and slavery and wretchedness may not be entailed upon their posterity. Let us with grateful hearts render thanks to the Supreme Disposer of good and of evil, that symptoms of recovery are already visible, that the languishing body politic has had strength to contend with the raging fever which threatened to consume it, and for the hopes that the struggles of nature will destroy the humors of disease. Once in a state of convalescence, we do not fear a relapse. The people will awake from the disturbed dreams of democratic philosophy, and shaking off the administration, which sits like incubus upon them, will arise in the majesty of a great magnanimous nation, will defend their rights with vigor and courage, and teach tyrants to respect their virtues.
It will Itself be cited as a precedent— That many an error by the same example, Will rush into the state.
It is indeed to be apprehended, that a system which is daily sapping the foundations of the British constitution, is about to be introduced into our country. A system which permits the administration to exercise unlimited power during the recess of the legislature, and to secure itself from the just rage of an oppressed and injured people by acts of indemnity. For experience too clearly proves, that these are easily obtained from a body of men, either blindly confident, or infamously corrupt.
To remedy the evils which we already feel, to avert those which threaten, ere long, to overwhelm us, let us withdraw all confidence from an administration, which, in asserting our national rights, is feeble, irresolute and timid; while, in oppressing the people, it exerts an unnatural energy. Let the people declare by their suffrages at the ensuing election, that they will no longer be governed by pretended philosophers, or by weak and visionary, if not wicked statesmen.
A crew can feel no confidence in the pilot, who deviating from the broad and proper channel, has guided the vessel into the midst of shoals and quicksands: nor should the citizens of America feel any in the men, who have shown themselves incapable of directing the national barque. Let the mariners assemble; let them earnestly enquire if no experienced seaman can be found among them, who, being placed at the helm by the general voice, may banish the fears of the crew, and ensure the safety of the ship.
O navis, nescis ventis Debes ludibrium, CAVE.
L.
A new Federal Paper is shortly to be published by an association of gentlemen in Baltimore, to be denominated "The Federal Republican and Commercial Gazette." They have published a very able and spirited prospectus, from which the following is an extract.—United States Gazette.
Our navy, that infant Hercules, which in the honest anticipating pride of the country, was to strangle the serpents of Europe, miserably made up of a few score of ferry-boats instead of resisting the piratical depredations of foreigners, is preying upon our own vessels and tyrannizing over our own citizens.—Instead of chasing before them the French marauders who infest our ports, they are employed in enforcing unconstitutional decrees and orders—feeble against our enemies but formidable to us.
In our administration we behold the same blind confidence, improvident security, and servile submission, which, more than the arms of France, have subjected Europe to the yoke of the conqueror. The proud aspiring spirit of Americans languishes under the effects of a mean and dastardly and degrading policy, which, while it humbles and impoverishes the nation, exposes it to scorn, contempt and perpetual insult. The honor of a glorious people, who but a few years past humbled the pride of a mighty nation, is tarnished; the laurels purchased by illustrious deeds of valor, have withered in the unhallowed and treacherous keeping of false patriots. The national spirit is mouldering away—the love of glory is giving place to the love of wealth, and all these evils are derived from the influence of a fatal system of expedients and of false economy.
A new period in our history is arrived.—The principles, upon which parties divided at the formation of our federal constitution, have become of secondary consequence.—We are not at this time contending for favorable theories. The question does not concern speculative points of government—it is more momentous, for it involves our eventual existence as freemen.—It is to be determined whether we shall live under the government of our own choice, or become the province of a foreign power; whether we shall change the garb of freedom for the livery of vassals. "An unseen hand directs the councils of our country and urges us on to fatal ruin." With fear and trembling, we gaze on the black clouds which are rising above our political horizon, the distant thunder warns us of the approaching storm, whilst we, rivetted by a fatal fascination, seek no shelter from the fury of the tempest. The roaring cannon of the enemy is pointed towards us, and we want the courage to defend ourselves.
Such is the most important feature in the face of our political affairs. But while one enemy assails us without, another is laboring within. A fixed determination has been betrayed by the party in power, to carry into operation a favorite theory of their leader—the annihilation of commerce. To further this purpose, the constitution has been violated; power has been usurped, and the most perfect indifference to the sacred rights of the citizen has been manifested. A powerful party is arrayed in open hostility to the judiciary, a plan has been avowed and is ripe for execution, to cut away this great political anchor, at which, in the stormy times of peril and dismay, the vessel of state has rode in safety.
A lambent ray of hope glids this dreary prospect. Our situation, though critical, is
far from desperate. Wisdom points out a path to certain security. To pursue this path, the people must have virtue, fortitude, and courage—they must no longer close their eyes to the dangers that threaten them—they must no longer blindly confide in their favorites. Would the people be sensible to their true situation, they may be yet rescued from the danger which awaits them; they may be saved from the common grave in which the liberties of Europe, have been entombed, and slavery and wretchedness may not be entailed upon their posterity. Let us with grateful hearts render thanks to the Supreme Disposer of good and of evil, that symptoms of recovery are already visible, that the languishing body politic has had strength to contend with the raging fever which threatened to consume it, and for the hopes that the struggles of nature will destroy the humors of disease. Once in a state of convalescence, we do not fear a relapse. The people will awake from the disturbed dreams of democratic philosophy, and shaking off the administration, which sits like incubus upon them, will arise in the majesty of a great magnanimous nation, will defend their rights with vigor and courage, and teach tyrants to respect their virtues.
If ever there was a time which demanded the exertions of those who love their country, it is the present. Much is to be apprehended and much to be hoped. But to realize our hopes the most indefatigable exertions are required from the friends of civil liberty and social order from all classes of citizens, from the statesman, the scholar, and the soldier. Our enemies are active and persevering, and our dearest interests are at stake. To give an exaggerated description of our difficulties and dangers is impossible. The most highly colored fiction could not equal the reality. In vain are intrigue and artifice employed to lull us into security—our feelings tell us we are insulted and betrayed.
Alive to the danger and distress of our country, and influenced by a desire to contribute whatever aid it may be in our power to afford the American cause, we have determined to establish a new Journal to co-operate with those whose views are similar to their country's good.
In the conduct of this paper we shall be regulated by the sound and healthful principles of the federal school. We are not the disciples of Condorcet or of Paine. If our political tenets should ever want a further elucidation, we shall not call on democracy to explain them. We shall not light up our temple from the unhallowed fire. It will be illuminated with the rays of a more pure and lasting light. It will be perfumed with the incense of the memory of a WASHINGTON and a HAMILTON. Supporting the federal constitution, we shall cleave closely to the institutions of our ancestors, and viewing all innovation with a jealous eye, we shall mock at those miserable jugglers, who have made a philosophy and a religion of their hostility to all order and establishment.
FROM THE REPUBLICAN (ALBANY) CRISIS.
THE following letters were picked up in the street—they appear to have been written by Mr. Richard Saunders, to a friend in a neighboring state, and are well worth the perusal of every person who wishes to see the truth told in a plain blunt way.
We shall continue the publication of them as we find room.
LETTER I.
I DON'T like the man, and there's an end of it. Nor do I like his friends over and above; it is true he began well, and I will say I never saw a better speech than his, at the beginning of his presidency—"We are all federalists, all republicans, the only question I shall ask, said he, when a man is proposed for office, shall be, is he capable, is he honest." I declare I would have given Thomas Jefferson the best calf on my farm for speaking such good words, had he come and asked for it. But talking is one thing, and acting is another. Whether it was, that the man meant well, and the democrats who looked for office, would not let him do as he wished; or whether he meant to tell a foolish lie, I don't know, but the fact is, he never asked any thing about honesty or capability. The word was, is he one of us or is he a federalist—and so, he and Gid Granger and all of them gave nothing, except to the democrats, and took what the federalists had, away; and I can prove that he gave offices to men of his own party who were neither honest nor capable, and took them from federalists who were both. For my part I don't like such rascally shuffling—eight years he and his party have been truckling to France and abusing the British, and to crown all, they are ruining the country with their cursed embargo. Why did they not demand satisfaction of the British when that fellow attacked the Chesapeake? And if the British
would not instantly have given satisfaction, why did they not go to war with them? Do you believe that we should have been worse off in being at war, than we are now? If you do, you have altered your creed, for you and every man of your party, nine months ago, believed that we could and should destroy the British trade, root and branch, by going to war with them—and now you know, for you who looked in with the wicked, are an honest man, you know that now, we are destroying our own trade, yes, and our farmers and every thing by this embargo. It is not whether we or the British shall do each other most harm, but whether we can't harm ourselves more than they can harm us.
Tom Leiper, the tobacconist, and Danane, who was a British man not long since, and who is a Frenchman now, and Rich Cox, who piloted the British in the American war, against his countrymen—these are the fellows who say the embargo is an excellent thing, and tell Mr. Jefferson that the country is glad of it. But it is a lie, for the country is not glad of it—no man can be glad of being ruined.
Did Washington and Adams and the federalists ever bring us to such a pass as this? No, Washington had a dispute with the British, and he began to build ships to fight for his own, if fair words would not do; and then the British thought better of it and made a treaty with us.
You remember how John Jay, who is as honest a man as ever stopped, and knew the interest of the U. S. a little better than Monroe, was blackguarded for the treaty he made; and what would you give to have such a treaty now? The French played tricks with us, and wanted us to pay in bate; John Adams sent his ships out, and they beat the French, and there was an end of the matter—yes, we beat their ships and took them, and brought them in and condemned them. The federalists were not afraid, they were willing to fight the French, the British, and all Algiers, rather than be imposed on; but as soon as your party came in they began to be afraid the French would call them to account, so what does Mr. Jefferson and Madison, and the party, but fit up the French ship which Adams had taken called the Berceau, and paint her, and rig her up to the sum of 32,000 dollars, and beg Talleyrand and the French to accept of her again, and over look her being taken! And so you have, I mean your party have, gone along ever since; whatever was asked you have given—the French want money, said Mr. Madison, and they must have it; John Randolph heard him say the very words, and so 17 millions were sent to buy Louisiana, which we no more wanted than my waggon wanted three axletrees. And now Bonaparte says we must go to war with England; and if Madison or Clinton or any of your leaders get to be president, to war we shall go, and though the British will never send a soldier to the U. S. Bonaparte will, if he can get them over, send troops to protect us, and we shall pay them, and by and by they will take the country from us. I have no more room.
I am your friend, RICHARD SAUNDERS.

NEW-YORK, June 30.
LATE INTELLIGENCE. Arrived this forenoon, schooner Thetis, Dennison, 7 days from Savannah. June 23, off cape Look Out, spoke ship Eunice, Manly, 44 days from Gibraltar for Charleston—look out of her A. R. Gers, late master of the ship Mary Ellis, and — Jacques, master of the brig William Tell, both of New York, whose vessels had been condemned. These gentlemen inform that it was the report at Gibraltar, a few days previous to their sailing, that there had been an engagement between the united Toulon and Rochefort squadrons and the English fleet, under the command of lord Collingwood, in which the latter had gained a decisive victory. No official intelligence had yet arrived, but the known situation of the French fleet, closely blockaded in the island of Minorca, and all supplies cut off, rendered it probable, that being nearly, or quite equal in force, they were induced to give the English battle. And the report having come by the way of Spain gave it additional credit.
One of the gentlemen further reports, that shortly before sailing, he had seen a letter from the American consul at Algiers to the consul at Gibraltar, which states, that, notwithstanding the late settlement of affairs between America and Algiers, the latter power were fitting out their cruisers with the utmost expedition. Their precise destination was not known, but from circumstances, he apprehended

The governor of Guadaloupe, in an address to the inhabitants on the 12th of January last, promised them an embargo would be taken off in the spring; and that it would be followed either by a general peace, or a declaration of war by Congress against England. He says, of more than 12,000 inhabitants in Guadaloupe, not more than 10,000 eat bread; and of these there is not one but could, if necessary, do without it.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Kingston, Jamaica to his friend in Baltimore, dated 26th of May, 1808.
"Herewith you have duplicate of our letter to you of the 11th inst. to which please refer. The vessels then about sailing delayed until an answer was given by the governor, to a memorial of several merchants interested in the American trade, respecting vessels coming in ballast, being allowed to carry rum: This the governor permitted, and there will not be any further difficulty in this business. Our markets continue much the same as stated in the enclosed."
The following very interesting intelligence has been politely communicated to the printers of the Albany Gazette, by a gentleman of the city of Schenectady. It is copied from a letter received by him, from a person of great respectability at Queenstown, in Upper Canada, dated June 16.
"Our Lieutenant Governor has been sent for by express from the Indian agent, near Detroit, and set out by land this day, for that quarter. It is reported, that some very violent resolutions adopted by the Indians (on hearing that their usual annual supplies for their trade, were stop't by the American government at Niagara) has occasioned this sudden and unexpected measure. God grant, that no mischief may take place before he gets up. Col. Claws is still there, and the governor takes with him most of the other officers of the Indian department."
IN COUNCIL, 28th June 1808.
The committee to whom was referred the examination of the powder house lot, made a report, in which they recommended the opening the road laid off by N. Pen-dleton's agent, from the Leesburg road, and fixing stones at the corners of the powder house lot. In which report council do concur, and Messrs. Rhodes, M c Guire and Preston are appointed a committee to execute the said work.
On the application of more than two-thirds of the proprietors of land on Washington street, between King and Queen streets to have the said two squares lighted, It is ordered, That the superintendent of police proceed to erect lamps on the said squares agreeably to law.
On balloting for a member of the board of health in the place of Wm. Riley, removed from town, James Anderson is duly elected.
29th June, 1808.
THE Committee to whom was referred the petition of sundry inhabitants of Prince and Henry streets, made a report recommending that a tunnel of 42 feet in length, as large in diameter and of like materials as the one in King and Henry streets, be built at the intersection of Prince and the middle of Henry street, in which report council do concur; and Messrs. Preston, M c Guire and Rhodes are appointed a committee to contract for the same, and in conjunction with the superintendent of police to have the same done immediately.
Resolved, That the superintendent of police cause Fayette street, leading from King street, opposite to the property of Thomas Preston, commencing at the south corner of Mr. Hewit's lot, and thence to King street, to be regulated in such manner as he may deem proper, and that the sum of thirty dollars be appropriated therefor.
Ordered, That the pump at the intersection of King and Henry streets be taken up and the well cleaned out, and so finished above, as to prevent the water coming down the gutter from running over the well.
Ordered, That the auditor issue a warrant for the sum of four thousand dollars, to be appropriated to the payment in part of the principal and interest of a note for 6,500 dollars, now lying over and owing to the bank of Alexandria, and that the balance of the said note be added to a note for 11,480 dollars owing and renewable at the said bank.
2d July, 1808.
On balloting for a member of the board of health, in the place of Doctor Dick resigned, John Stewart is duly elected.
Test, James M. M c Rea, C. C.
the several sums, credited in the copy of an account current presented by him and marked No. —, and under the impression on that the letters accompanying the said account were written by his said agent Philip Nolan, the court think it highly probable that the statement is correct. They however do not consider the verity of its the least importance in the case, since if he did receive the money as stated, the transaction was fully justifiable, and if he did not so receive it, there is no proof of his having received it at all.
It is therefore the opinion of this court, that there is no evidence of brigadier general James Wilkinson's having at any time received a pension from the Spanish government, or of his having received money from the government of Spain or any of its officers or agents for corrupt purposes—and he court has no hesitation in saying that as far as his conduct has been developed by this enquiry, he appears to have discharged the duties of his station with honor to himself and fidelity to his country.

TUESDAY, JULY 5.
Yesterday being the Anniversary of American Independence the same was hailed by the citizens of this place with that joy and festivity which should ever glow in the American breast. The day was announced by the discharge of 17 rounds, by captain Marsteller's artillery, and at 8 o'clock the different volunteer uniform companies paraded in the market square, and were joined by the field and platoon officers of the 2d legion, when they marched into Fairfax street and were reviewed by Colonel M c KINNEY; after which the whole were formed into a solid column, and the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE was read by capt. Youngs, after a very handsome prefatory address to his brother soldiers on the occasion. The military were then dismissed for an hour, when they again paraded and joined in procession with the Washington Society, at Gadsby's Hotel, and moved from thence to the Presbyterian Church, where the services of the day were commenced by an interesting address from the Rev. Dr. Muir, after which an Oration was delivered before a very crowded audience, by JOHN DOUGLASS SIMMS, Esq. which, for elegance of diction, manliness of style, and gracefulness of delivery, has been surpassed by few, and a highly gratified auditory seemed to exult in the praiseworthy pride of this particular place having produced such promising talents, and interesting commencement of their exhibition. The services of the day were interspersed with solemn music, by a handsome band, placed in the gallery. The procession returned to Gadsby's, where a sue de joie was fired by the military, and a rehearsal of several pieces by the children of the Washington Free School, before the society.
The company then retired to their several places of entertainment, where the day was concluded with the greatest mirth & festivity. The company of Volunteer Blues, with several of the officers of the 2d Legion & private citizens retired to Purkis's garden, where a handsome dinner was provided, after partaking of which the following Toasts were drunk.
(Toasts to-morrow.)
Extract of a letter from Capt. Andrew Tucker, of the ship William, of Newburyport, dated Gibraltar, May 9, 1808.
"I was captured on the first day of April, by a Spanish privateer, out of Malaga, who took four of my best men out of the ship, sent a prize master and eight men on board, and ordered the ship for Malaga. Next day at 7, A. M. discovered a sail in the offing standing in towards Malaga, which proved to be an English privateer out of Gibraltar. When she had got within a mile of me the Spanish prize master and all the Spaniards that were on board, took my small boat, left the ship, went on board of their privateer, and sent my men on board, and I made the best of my way on my passage. Being within 25 miles of Malaga, wind light and flattering, they sent three men on board of me from the English privateer, and then went in pursuit of the Spaniards, overtook her, and, after an engagement of half an hour, she struck. The Spanish privateer had on board three nine pounders, 50 men, and 24 sweeps; the English three six pounders, 30 men, and 20 sweeps. The English captain and three of his men were killed, and two of the Spaniards. They have brought me in here, and will recover salvage."
they would act against American commerce, and strongly recommended any American vessels in the latter port, who should be then ready for sea, to wait elsewhere, as the Portuguese had nothing afloat, it could not be supposed the armament could be intended against them. The consul of the U. S. at Tangiers likewise gave information that there was then an Algerine polacre of 18 guns lying in Tangier Bay, bound on a cruise to the westward, and that at his writing, there were none to the westward of the straits.
At one time of the Eunices sailing, there were two Moorish frigates in the mole of Gibraltar getting ready with the utmost dispatch. He further states there were large supplies of ammunition and warlike stores of every species sent to Morocco & the Barbary powers by the English. The emissaries of France having entered Morocco to endeavor to influence the emperor to join the great Napoleon against the English, caused great exertions to be made by the latter power, to counteract their endeavors. The very existence of their fleet in that quarter depended solely on the friendship of those states, as every supply of fresh provisions came entirely from them. There were no preparations made by the Spaniards, for the investiture of Gibraltar, although it was generally believed they would attempt it very soon. A total change had taken place in the politics of Spain, the late king having been confined in prison, and the French troops who had possession of the whole of the country, evacuating with the celerity so usual among them, when they gain any advantage.
Portugal was still groaning under its burthen, the requisitions having been so many and so frequent as to exhaust all the specie of the kingdom; while a horde of the tax gatherers of Bonaparte overawed the inhabitants.
It was generally supposed at Gibraltar, that an amicable adjustment of all differences would take place between America and Great Britain, and a restoration be made by the latter power of all commerce condemned there. A large number of American vessels were in those seas sailing under license from Great Britain to and from the ports of Spain without interruption. Our informant sailed from thence in company with eight or ten sail, laden with wine and fruit for England, among which were the Harkness, Howland of New York, and ship Minerva, Ledler, of Charleston. Likewise, the schr. Hannah, Thurlow, of Newburyport, for Marblehead, having been condemned, and bought in again. On board the Hannah were fifteen or eighteen American captains whose vessels had been condemned at Gibraltar and Malta. The Hannah entered at Madeira, where she left ship Delaware of New York for Teneriffe with a license. Hourly Madeira 15 dollars, pork 20 beef 26, staves 100, and a plentiful supply of every other article. The Portuguese costs were again hoisted at Madeira. Price current at Gibraltar, flour 15 dollars, pork 26, beef 24 and every other article in proportion. Business lively. The Spaniards cut out vessels very often in the Bay, sometimes with strong easterly winds 3 and 4 of a night.
WASHINGTON CITY July 4.
After a full investigation of such evidence and circumstances as have come to the knowledge of the court in the course of its proceedings, a correct statement of which is hereunto annexed, and after mature deliberation upon the same, the following opinion on the amount of the testimony is respectfully submitted.
It has been proved to the satisfaction of this court, that brigadier general James Wilkinson had been engaged in a tobacco trade with governor Miro of New Orleans where he entered the American army in 1783; that he received large sums of money for tobacco delivered in New Orleans, to the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine, and that a large quantity of tobacco, belonging to him, was condemned and stored in New Orleans in that year; but it has not been proved, and after the fullest investigation and comparison of testimony in possession of the court it does not appear, that he has received any money from the Spanish government or any of its officers, since the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety one, or that he has ever received money from that government or any of its officers for any other purpose but in payment for tobacco, and other produce, sold and delivered by him or his agents.
It has been stated by the general that after his damaged tobacco had laid some years in store at New Orleans, his agent there received for it and remitted to him

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickening of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of shewing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape-worm.
An infant, aged 3 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.

ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lacep remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glects, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and
will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton-
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold, to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.

Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint ; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES:
Tending to shew that by a due encouragement of these essential interests, the nation will be rendered more respectable abroad and more prosperous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. CUSTIS Esq. of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
