No. VI.
"Proofs of the corruption of gen. James Wilkinson and of his connection with Aaron Burr," &c.
It appears by a letter from Wilkinson to Mr. Clark dated 29th May, 1799, (No. 30) that the shipment which was by the general's engagement to have been made in December 1789, could not take place until the spring of the following year. And here, if our sole purpose was to refute the half-uttered hesitating excuse that has been offered, here we might stop, for confuted as the defence is, thus much at least has been distinctly stated, that the sums received after the year 1791, were all for tobacco shipped in 89; but the accounts to May 1790, are closed, irrevocably closed. The general's signature to the account attests every thing to the month of September. His letter shows that nothing was sent down between that time and May. With this refutation of his only defence, I might stop; but I will anticipate the answer to any amendment he might make by pretending the mistake of a year, and after showing that the sums he received did not proceed from his commercial operations in the year '89, I will show as clearly that they were not produced by those in 1790, which by his own confession was the last of his commercial existence.
By the agreement for dissolving the partnership, as we have seen, it appears that the Speedwell's cargo was to have been invested in tobacco, on the account of the partnership. By the letters No. 29 and 30, it appears that the proceeds were so invested; that purchases of tobacco to a large amount were also made on the general's own account—but that to equalize the risk, the whole was thrown into a common account, the proceeds to be divided in proportion to their respective interests. This is explicitly stated in both letters—and in consequence of it, we are furnished with proof which we otherwise should not have had, if the Speedwell's cargo had been separately invested. As this business was nominally transacted by Nolan, his accounts of that investment would have given us only partial information, and it might be said that the monies we have proved to have been received were the proceeds of the residue of the shipment; but the whole being carried to one general account, Mr. Clark was entitled to an account of all the adventure, and he was liable for his proportion of any loss that might have happened by the damage done to any part. We accordingly find that the general in his letter is minute as to that loss, and states in the first letter that a flat with 40 hlds. had been sunk, which by the second appears to have been recovered with the loss of about 12 or 15 hlds. In the second letter, June 20 1790, (No. 31) the general expresses his mortification that the tobacco is not yet gone on, and says, "Events have justified the propriety of my making no distinction in the tobacco shipped at this time or allotting any separate portion for the account of the Speedwell, as three of the fleet are still aground in Kentucky river, with 18 hlds. on board."
Nolan arrived with this shipment of tobacco; it was sold to government; it was sold for the net sum of 15,850 dollars. The account, as well of the purchase as the sales was rendered by Nolan, the former dated Kentucky, 7th May, 1790, and the latter New Orleans, 21st September in the same year. This adventure was then finally closed. All the tobacco must have been sold, or Mr. Clark, having been charged with his proportion of the whole purchase, would have been entitled to his share of the sales of any remaining part of the tobacco. But as is evidenced by the accounts (No. 32) the whole concern was closed; Mr. Clark's proportion about 3,430 dollars, was paid him, and Nolan applied the residue to the payment of the general's debts, his creditors being at that time many and clamorous. Indeed so much was he then pressed, that though an error of $473 was discovered in the former accounts and is certified by Nolan, (No. 33) yet he could not discharge it, but it still remains due. In the next year Wilkinson became a general, but not before he became a bankrupt. After the death of major Dunn, he became a partner with M c Keyton Short, and I am
authorised without the fear of contradiction to state, that this gentleman felt for years the embarrassments caused by the connection. That Wilkinson went to the army in debt to him, as well as to many other persons who had been imprudent enough to trust him; that he availed himself of his station to elude the payment of his debts, and when at last by the firmness of Mr. Jas. Hughes, (to whom Mr. Short had in despair surrendered the task) he was forced to a settlement, that his accounts exhibited no outstanding debts at New Orleans, no tobacco stored there, none of those resources from whence he produced his subsequent wealth. His accounts with the estate of major Dunn will be found to be equally silent on this point, and those of his other partnership are now before the public. What device? what evidence? what excuse can now be found to hide him from this open and apparent shame? His commercial speculations afford no cover for his political corruption—and however probable it may be that he cheated his partners, his infamous excuse is insufficient after these proofs to clear him from the charge of having sold his country. Over any other but so arrogant, so unblushing an offender, it would be mean to triumph; but elevated with the consciousness of integrity, I look with contempt on the wretch who is grovelling beneath me; on whom punishment operates no reformation, detection no remorse—and who regrets loss of character only because it deprives him of the means of deception. Disgusted as I am with the task of exposing him, it is not yet finished. I have proved the payment of the money, and I have demonstrated that it was not the proceeds of his commerce. It remains to show that it was the hire of his treason.

BRITISH DESERTERS.
On Friday morning last, at 9 o'clock, chief justice Scott attended at the courthouse to receive the return of the sheriff, to a habeas corpus issued yesterday by the chief justice to bring before him seven persons who had alledged in a petition, that they were illegally confined; by the return to the habeas corpus it appeared that these persons were arrested in virtue of a written order from the British consul, residing in this city, as deserters from the British frigate L'Africaine, then lying at Annapolis. The chief justice sent to Mr. Wood, the British consul, at half past 8 o'clock this morning, to request his attendance—An immense crowd of people filled the courthouse, taking possession of the jury boxes, the bar and the judges seat, to the very elbows of the chief justice.
When Mr. Wood appeared in court, it was stated to the chief justice, that he wished his counsel might be sent for, and two gentlemen of the bar were named whom he wished to consult; the counsel for the prisoners urged that they should be immediately discharged; that even admitting them to be deserters from a British vessel and British subjects, no person whatever could have a right in this country to arrest or detain them for that cause; the chief justice however, sent for one of the counsel named by the consul, who immediately attended, and when informed by the consul of the reason for requesting his attendance, he stated to the court that he was engaged in a case of considerable importance in the district court then sitting, in which the other counsel was also engaged, which would necessarily prevent them from an immediate investigation of the question, whether the prisoners could be lawfully detained under the authority of the consul; that he perceived the habeas corpus had been granted without any affidavit as to the illegal confinement of the prisoners, and understood that objections were made to the formality of the order under which the arrest had been made; but as the prisoners were now before the chief justice, who had full power to enquire into the circumstances and discharge, admit to bail, or recommit them, as he might judge to be proper; as the case was of great public importance, and the detention of the prisoners for a few hours would not be attended with much inconvenience; he therefore requested the chief justice would consent to hear the counsel of the British consul in the afternoon of the same day, and defer his decision until that time. The chief justice stated, that the opinion of the secretary of state had satisfied him, that deserters from British vessels ought not to be arrested or detained un-
* John Nowland, William Whokes, Dennis Murphy, Richard Hughes, John Earp, John Burwell, Jacob Lamb.
der the authority of the government of the United States, for the purpose of delivering them up to the officers of the British government, he therefore ordered the prisoners to be immediately discharged. The audience expressed their approbation of his decision by three loud and tumultuous huzzas and execrations of the Tories, and carried off the deserters in triumph!!
[We are requested to add the following article, from the National Intelligencer of July 29, 1807.]
Much error having appeared in the accounts circulated of what passed between the government and Mr. Erskine, in the case of the seamen, to obtain whom, the Leopard made the late attack on the Chesapeake, we are induced to state, that we understand, on application by Mr. Erskine for their surrender, he was informed that it could not be done and was referred to the written answer given by the secretary of state on a previous application in another case, for the principles upon which the surrender of British deserters was refused. It was remarked to Mr. Erskine at the same time, both by the secretary of the navy and the secretary of state, that although the government could not deliver up deserters, it was so far from COUNTENANCING DESERTION that general orders had been issued to our naval commanders not to permit any British deserters to be recruited for the American service. They also informed Mr. Erskine a few days after, that they had sufficient reason for believing that the seamen in question were native citizens of the U. States; this being the result of an inquiry by captain Barron, in pursuance of orders from the secretary of the navy. On this point Mr. Erskine expressed no opinion.—This was not asked, because his opinion could form no part of the ground on which the government proceeded; and it was not offered, because it appears to have been his practice, and to have been held as his duty also, to do no more than to transmit without remark, whatever documents or information relative to facts, he might judge proper to be forwarded to the British admirals on different stations. In this case he accordingly merely stated for the information of the British naval commander, that the result of the inquiry made by captain Barron had satisfied our government that the seamen for whose surrender he had applied were citizens and natives of the U. States.
* This answer was written Jan. 7, 1807. It was produced by an application for the surrender to their allegiance of certain British seamen left on board a vessel ordered to Halifax as a prize, brought her into the U. States, and were charged with mutiny, piracy, and an attempt to murder their officers. The answer stated, that not only no prerogative for the purpose in question is vested in the executive of the United States, but that neither the law nor the practice of nations imposes on them an obligation to provide for the surrender of fugitives from the jurisdiction of other powers. The obligation can result only from special and mutual stipulations, which do not exist between the United States and Great Britain, and which, indeed, as limited in the expired articles of the treaty of 1794, do not comprehend any other offences than those of actual murder and forgery.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15.
The following are the decree and new quarantine regulations in Spain, which were received by the schooner Morning Star, Captain Smith, from Cadiz, arrived New-York.
The Supreme Junta of the kingdom constantly zealous for the encouragement of agriculture and commerce, particularly those articles most frequently the object of speculation in the greater number of persons, and in which farmers, as well as other individuals and tradesmen, can most easily employ their industry and capital, has been pleased to declare, that for the present the corn, seeds or pulse, which are imported from foreign countries into a port of Spain, shall be free of duties, royal and municipal, and of any other nomination whatever; and for the same reason and with the same views, the Supreme Junta has determined that conformably to the royal order of the first March, 1808, the exportation and circulation of the above mentioned articles, by land and sea from one of the provinces of Spain to another, or of the ports or places to another, shall be free from any action or duties, their royal or municipal whatever, and without other formality or requisite than the return certificate, or those established to assure that the articles have not been landed in places occupied by the enemy.
Dated Seville, 16th June, 1809.

To Seignor the Sub-Dellegate of Revenue, at Cadiz.
NEW QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.
Art. 1. That vessels of whatever nation proceeding from the United States & bringing a clean bill of health, duly legalized by the Spanish consul, from the port from whence she proceeds, shall perform only a quarantine of observation;—that, in the months of June, July, August and September, it must not be less than eight complete days, and the rest of the months of the year it can be shortened agreeable to circumstances.
Art. 2. That the vessels proceeding from the United States without a bill of health shall perform full forty days.
Art. 3. Those that proceed from contiguous ports, upon which due and proper advice will be given by the minister of state under my care, will not be admitted to practice.
Domestic Arts. —A writer in the National Intelligencer, concludes his remarks on Labor Saving Machinery, with the following paragraph:
"Let this power, then, be forthwith exercised. Instead of exacting a paltry sum for a patent, let the government widely open the door to the ingenuity of our citizens, and grant a patent to every meritorious application without any fee. Let them establish a scientific board to investigate the merits of each application before a patent is allowed; and when allowed let there be an official announcement of it, with the explanation necessary to recommend it to trial. Let there be a spacious apartment, in which the works of genius that are offered may be conspicuously and impressively arranged, with directions whose duty it shall be to keep them in motion, explain them to the visitant, the whole being accessible to every one. Let periodic premiums of honor or profit be distributed among those who shall make the most valuable improvements. For these purposes to wit: the creation of proper apartments, their superintendence, the publicity given

improvements and inventions, and pre- miums, let the annual sum of 50,000 dolls. be appropriated, a sum, which divided a- mong the people of the United States, would not average a cent a head."
As the season is now approaching for making pickles, the following receipt for reserving them may be acceptable.
RECEIPT FOR PICKLING. After cleansing your cask, put a layer of white oak leaves, and then a layer of cu- cumbers, or whatever your pickles consist and so on to fill your cask; intersperse between each layer dill seed, mustard seed, horseradish, &c. and to every twenty cu- cumbers one bell of pepper. Form a com- position of clear salt and water, not hardly strong enough to bear an egg, to a gal- lon add one quart of good vinegar: scald and skim the pickle, after cool to a degree of blood warmth, add it to your cask and cover it tight.
If rightly performed this method will preserve pickles the year round, and forms a very agreeable sauce.

SALEM, September 8. FROM GOTTENBURG.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Eliza and Mary, capt. Turner, from Gottenburg. When she sailed (23d July) peace had not yet been made between Russia and Sweden, but it was an event soon expected. The Russians had an army of 40,000 men (dou- ble the number of the Swedish army) in the neighborhood of Stockholm; these had po- tentially fallen back a little distance while the coronation of the new king was going on, and the arrangement settling under his go- vernment, but were doubtless intended to enforce such terms as Russia might dictate. It was reported, that she had offered the restoration of Finland which she had recent- ly conquered from Sweden, and Pomerania, which the French had heretofore taken, on condition that Sweden should enter into the compact against Great Britain, and shut her ports to British commerce.
A letter by the above arrival mentions the expectation of peace between Sweden and Russia, and that consequently com- merce would have a freer scope, and also that the Danes would be obliged to discon- tinue their piracies. Nothing was said in this letter, of the conditions of peace. Charles XIII was crowned on the 28th of June.
PHILADELPHIA, July 12. LAST from Spain.
By the ship Anthony Mangin, from Cadiz. EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS.
SEVILLE, July 20, 1809. —Last week Wellesley had an interview with Cuesta, in which they concerted a plan of operations. Their army then consisted, by the best accounts, of 53,000 infantry, and 11,000 cavalry—to which may be added the rein- forcements since arrived at Lisbon from England, about 8,000.—The 57th regi- ment from Gibraltar, and general Venegas's division of 26,000 men. And the whole may be estimated at 100,000 effective men, in the following positions: Venegas the right wing, Cuesta the centre, and Sir A. Wellesley the left. Venegas advanced on the 18th, and his advanced posts were at Manzaneres, Daymiel and Solans: all on his side the Guadina. Cuesta advanced on the 17th, and is said to be at Naval Mo- ral, and Wellesley near Talavera de la Rey- na.
The French have concentrated their forces in La Mancha, Esremadura, &c. and upon the smallest computation I esti- mate that they have from 70 to 90,000 men in a body, or in positions to co-operate to- gether. Thus something very important may be expected to be the result, and very shortly."
CADIZ, July 28. —All the news from the interior and the armies is extremely gra- tifying—every thing goes on well."
GIBRALTAR, July 26, 1809. —The Bri- tish expedition from Sicily, under general John Stuart, has disembarked near Na- poli, and taken several places, among them Gaeta.
The natives, in great numbers, were joining the British army."
(The force of this armament was stated, in a former account to amount to 23,000 men.)
CADIZ, July 24. —With respect to our political situation I have only to say that the French, finding their force too much divid- ed, have evacuated the north of Spain as far as Ferrol, and have concentrated all their forces in the neighborhood of Madrid, with a determination, no doubt of waiting united the result of the campaign in Germany. The combined troops of England and Spain, are however, determined to bring them to action
and it is expected at this very moment that a general action has taken place. The results are not much dreaded. Should the French be worsted their army will be destroyed.— Should the combined army meet any reverse they have a powerful army of reserve on the road to their assistance, and the passes to this province are well guarded. It is reason- able to expect that if the Austrians hold out but a few months longer that there will not be a Frenchman in Spain except prisoners.

MURCIA, July 8. Yesterday's mail brought us the following letter, which we give here literally:
Mahon, June 21, 1809. MR. EDITOR —I avail myself of the op- portunity of a vessel going to sail for the coast of Spain, to impart to our beloved na- tion the pleasing and official intelligence which the governor of this island has just received from his Sicilian majesty, to the following purpose:
"The British and Sicilian troops, which landed on the coast of Italy, united with the intrepid natives of that kingdom who are anxious to take vengeance of the evils inflicted on them by the tyrant of Europe, have obtained the greatest advantages, as they have succeeded in setting the whole of that that kingdom (of Naples) against the oppressor (Murat) who tyrannizes over it, and enabled many of the towns which groaned under his yoke to shake it off. "There is no city in Italy. It is further stated, 'but has issued a proclamation to urge the inhabitants to rise.' And, this in- telligence being so favorable to the most just cause which the Spaniards are defending, I will not let this opportunity escape, that the nation may have the joyful news without delay."
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed)
MARTIN COSTA, Captain of the Mole.
Extract of a letter from the Lazaretto, dat- ed September 11, 1809.
"Arrived since my last, brig Oaly Son, from Savannah. "Schooner Friendship, Thurlow, of, and 9 days from Newburyport."
"Reports ship Perseverance, S. Oliver, of Wilmington, (N. C.) taken off Sombrera, on her passage to Guadalupe, by a French row boat and carried into St. Martins, capt O. Obtained this information from the su- percargo, whom he saw at St. Bartholo- mews on his way to Guadalupe, where the vessel was to be libelled for an infringement of the imperial decree."
Captain Holbrook, of the Liberty from Laguira reports, that on the 18th ult. lat. 21 4, long. 68, 37, he fell in with the British letter of marque Dianna, Robert Lewi, commander, 35 days out from Halifax bound to Port au-Prince. He was board- ed by an officer and 4 men armed with pis- tols and cutlasses, with a view, as he was told, to take away by force, certain desert- ers, (should they be on board) who left the Diana, when at Philadelphia; from which place they sailed on the 4th July last. The reported deserters, not being on board, they examined the schooner's papers and permit- ted her to proceed."
Capt. H. adds, that several of the men on board the Diana, were dangerously wounded, by the bursting of some small arms in an action with a vessel which she had fallen in with, a day or two before.— He first suspected the vessel to have been a French privateer, which he supposed to have been cruising to windward—but it after- wards proved to have been an American ves- sel. The captain reports the following ves- sels.
Schrs. John, Lewis, for Salem, when uncertain. Cargo however on board. Schr. Fish-Hak, Lee, for Salem in 5 days. Schr. Equality, Peabody, do. do. time unknown.
Another letter from Lazaretto says "I un- derstand from three pilots who arrived in different vessels this day, about noon, that the United States Frigate Constitution, has just had an engagement with a British Fri- gate: which she has captured and taken in- to the Chesapeake."
BALTIMORE, Sept. 13. Arrived, brig Good Hope, Long, 28 days from Porto Rico. Left the 13th ult.

TO PARENTS.
The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
(Selected from a very numerous list.)
ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams, No. 30, Baltimore street, two doors above south Gay-street.
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhausted his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges, but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moore, auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about eight inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worms appeared. The child recovered and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJAMIN WILLIAMS.
AFFIDAVIT.
Michael Duffy, residing at No. 47, Walker street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore voluntarily maketh oath that the following statement is just and true:
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls the one five and the other three years of age were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects. The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have nearly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable.

TO H. LEE.
Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, and great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took many things, but without benefit. An acquaintance in the country sent to me to procure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges, and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encouraged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it relieved me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past. I have since given them to my children, and can speak from experience, that they are a most valuable medicine, and am happy to add my testimony to numberless others to their efficacy.
SARAH JOHNSON,
140, north Second Street.
Among the symptoms attending Worms are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—bad and corrupted breath—itching in
the nose and about the seat—convulsions, epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometime loathing food and sometimes voracious—purging, with slimy and foetid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Prevention better than Cure.
In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to LEE'S HAHN'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS,
Which for 10 years past have been attended with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern seaports has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malignant fevers, has preserved their health after experiencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate of Wm. Devenny.
During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit I have received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, WM. DEVENNY,
ITCH CURED.

Domestic Manufactures.
THE subscriber proposes erecting at the Centre Mills, near Alexandria, a Machine for carding Wool, and expects to have it ready to run by the 30th of the present month. It will card the wool and form it into rolls for the spinning wheel, or into rolls for hatters, or other purposes. The advantage of having wool prepared by these machines for the purpose of manufacturing yarn over that which is carded by hand, generally acknowledged, as being the cheapest and most perfect in its operation. The persons who may incline to give encouragement to this establishment, may depend on the utmost punctuality as to time and unremitted attention in the execution of the work. The wool when carded into rolls will be packed in such manner as to preserve it in the most perfect state for spinning, and may be transported any reasonable distance without injury. Wool, sent to the carder, must be clean washed, clear of burrs, small sticks or other extraneous matter, and as ordered in such manner as may suit the owner; and each quality shall be kept separate. The expense of carding will be eight cents for that which is made into rolls, and five cents for batts per lb. payable at the time of delivering, or payment will be received in wool of good quality at 40 cents per pound, as may suit the convenience of the owner.
