CAROLAN'S TOMB.
Underneath yon willow weeping, In his dark and narrow bed, By his harp in silence sleeping The latest Bard of Erin's laid; Music soft as virgin's whisper Often floats among the trees, When the smiling star of vesper Cours the twilight's summer breeze.
At the blush of early morning, Murmuring sweet the trees among, Oft the lonely robin mourning, Trills his little, tender song; When May-day wings her golden hours, Then advancing on the green, Strewing Carlan's tomb with flowers, Kilronan's maidens oft are seen.
Sweet they sing around the willow, Soft the singing tree replies, 'Cold alas the clayey pillow, 'Where the Bard of Erin lies; 'Sleep on sweet Bard, thy living numbers, 'Erin's sons may rouse again, 'And wake thy genius from his slumbers, 'In a bold and swelling train.'
* The spot where his bones are laid. Tune "Castle of Moyo."

THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. No. XVIII.
Conclusion. —I have now brought Mr. Clark's invaluable publication to a conclusion. It cannot be too extensively read.
Let me here request particular attention to the following number. Wilkinson's turpitude has been established to the conviction of the nation: this number involves Jefferson in the same guilt; at least it makes him so far a particeps criminis , as to have not only concealed Wilkinson's crime, but to have aided him with the means to complete it, by heaping upon him honors and promotion. As usual, with him, it will be seen, he resorted to the vice of lying , even in his public message, for the purpose of deceiving the nation.
"Proofs of the corruption of gen. James Wilkinson and of his connection with Aaron Burr," &c.
On the 10th of January, 1806, better than two years before the date of the message, Joseph Daveiss, district attorney of the United States for Kentucky, wrote an official letter to the president, which deserves serious attention. It is contained in (Note No. 92.) It puts the president on his guard against the renewal of the old Spanish plot, and contains the following passage:—"I am told that Mr. Ellicott, in his journal communicated to the officers of state the names of the Americans concerned. If this be true, you are long since guarded; but I suspect either it is not or that it has escaped you, or you consider the business as dead—BECAUSE YOU HAVE APPOINTED GENERAL WILKINSON AS GOVERNOR OF ST. LOUIS, WHO, I AM CONVINCED, HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, AND NOW IS, A PENSIONER OF SPAIN. Should you ask me to prove it, I must resort to an extensive chain of circumstances, which, separately, seem small and inconclusive, &c." Here, I think is a direct charge , and made in pretty explicit terms and offered to be substantiated, and by a man in office, whose duty it was to prefer the accusation—and this direct charge did not miscarry, it came safely to the president's hands; for on the 15th February, 1806, he wrote to Mr. Daveiss, a letter, acknowledging its receipt, (Note No. 93.) In this letter he requests the names of parties and witnesses, and Mr. Daveiss, on the 28th of March, the 29th March, and the 21st of April, replied, giving the names of the persons concerned, and the witnesses to prove the several charges. Among these, the payment by Owens and Collins are particularly noticed. (See the extracts of these letters, Notes No. 94 95 96 and 97.) And these letters are acknowledged by Mr. Jefferson to have been received on the 12th of Sept. 1806, (Note No. 98.) This correspondence is taken from a publication by Mr. Daveiss which is extremely interesting, and of which I regret that I cannot give more copious extracts. But this is not all. From the president's message itself it appears, that there was a letter and a reference from
Mr. Ellicott, that was not sent to Congress, because Mr. Ellicott had desired that it might be kept secret. Now, if in this letter, and in a verbal communication, Mr. Ellicott had expressly charged gen. W. with the corrupt receipt of money, how will it agree with the assertion before quoted, that my assertion was the first direct charge; and the one preceding it, that one letter only (and that anonymous) specified any particular fact? Yet such is the case. In the testimony of Mr. Coxe, (Note No. 55,) we find the following passage—"January 30. Andrew Ellicott informed me this evening, that in the month of June 1801, as well as I recollect, he communicated personally to Mr. Jefferson the exact sum of money that had been sent by Don Thomas Portell to general Wilkinson; that this sum was not on account of any mercantile transactions, but of the pension allowed the general by the Spanish government; that gen. W. was not a man to be trusted; and, if continued in employ, would one day or other disgrace and involve the government in his schemes." In the letters of Mr. Ellicott to the general himself, (ant. page 69,) he expressly states that the copy of Gayoso's letter, in which the general and others were mentioned as being in the interest and pay of Spain, were, as well as the information received from capt. Portell of the 9640 dollars, reduced to cypher, and communicated to the president. Now even if it be allowed that Mr. Ellicott's desire should excuse the president from communicating his letters, yet surely no desire of any individual could impose on the president the necessity of asserting that no such communication had been made.—On the 14th of January 1808, Mr. Ellicott wrote me, as follows:—
Lancaster, January 14th, 1808.
DEAR SIR,
The letter mentioned in the 183d page of my journal, from governor Gayoso to a confidential Spanish officer, is, I presume in the hands of Mr. Thomas Power. A copy of the interesting part will be found in the office of the secretary of state. This letter places the improper conduct of Gen. Wilkinson, and some others of our citizens in a point of view not to be mistaken. If corruption is criminal, this letter establishes the criminality. Whenever I think of the army, and the state of our country, the following lines from Anacharsis never fail presenting themselves to my mind:—
"Les peuples de la Grece sont affoiblis et corrompus. Plus de lois, plus de citoyens nulle idee dela gloire, nul attachement au lien public. Partout, de vils mercenaires pour soldats, et des brigands pour generaux."
To my knowledge, the present administration has been minutely informed of the conduct of General Wilkinson, and why he has been supported, and patronized, after this information, is to me an inexplicable paradox.
All the information that I was able to obtain on the subject of those intrigues was faithfully detailed, both to the former and present administration; and beyond those documents (which are deposited in the office of the secretary of state) I have no knowledge of those transactions. I now begin to wish that I had kept copies of those papers—but I have none.
I am with great esteem, Your sincere friend, and Humble servant,
(Signed) AND'W ELLICOTT. Hon. D. Clark, Esq.
It is true that the president, in the message suggests that the testimony of Mr. Ellicott might be procured from himself, and that for that purpose he had directed him to be summoned before the court of enquiry. But he refused to attend—there was no force to compel him—and, I think, that, after his refusal to attend was known, I as well as the country, have some reason to complain that evidence so important to support my declarations—so essential to the conviction of guilt—should have been withheld from the court* and from the public.
* Mr. Ellicott refused to attend the court of enquiry—Mr. Jefferson was in possession of his letter, containing the intercepted dispatch from Gayoso, of which Mr. Ellicott, in his impressive language says, "if corruption be criminal this letter establishes the criminality"—and yet this letter was not submitted either to Congress, or the court, or the public. In what manner is this to be accounted for? Mr. Ellicott's request for secrecy seems to have been more rigidly attended to, than the express promise given to Bellman. In his letter to W. Mr. E. declares that he thinks the reasons for secrecy no longer to exist, and would have declared the same thing to the President, had he been applied to—(See his letter, Note No. 99,) addressed to me—and mark his astonishment that only the migratory parts of his correspondence were communicated.
Nay more, that by the language of the communication to congress it should have been asserted, that no such evidence had been given to the executive.
I have now completed a work which was forced upon me, in justification of my own character. I regret deeply that the nature of this justification has obliged me to appear as an accuser, & that a task, which I cannot help repeating was the duty of a public officer has thus devolved upon an individual. My regret on this occasion is not produced from any apprehension that my proofs are deficient, or my defence incomplete. My own understanding is satisfied with their force, & my conscience has always been at rest. Of the effects this address may have on my countrymen I cannot doubt. In common with the great mass of them, I anticipate much good from the approaching change in the administration;—and if I shall have furnished the new cabinet with the means of throwing off this dishonor from the nation, I shall not regret the trouble of my research.

FOREIGN.
From the London Globe of the 26th of Aug. received at the office of the New York Gazette.
LONDON, August 26.
It is in vain for the most enthusiastic admirers of Bonaparte to deny, that, in spite of his talents and his victories, his own elevation, and the fortunes of his family, are involved in some degree of embarrassment. Even in the silence of his bulletins, which were almost considered as the oracles of fate; and, in the pause which has succeeded to the armistice of the 12th of July, we perceive that this conqueror is not able to impose peace on his vanquished enemy. He may, indeed, by renewing the war, eventually crush, and annihilate the house of Austria. Such an event is even, we are aware, by no means removed beyond the limits of probability. But he is, evidently, incapable of terrifying the emperor Francis, into any such acts of submission as followed the victory of Austerlitz; and though before the lapse of many weeks, he may possibly dictate conditions, under the walls of Prague or Olmutz, yet, it amounts to demonstration, that he has not succeeded in terminating the contest, before the conclusion of the period fixed for the suspension of hostilities. This is, in itself, however, a prodigious point gained; since we have a moral assurance and conviction, arising from the actual state of things at the present moment, in Holland, Spain and Naples, that Napoleon must ardently desire and would probably make some sacrifices to obtain the means of transferring his energies and forces, from Vienna to Antwerp, or to Castle. The surrender of Flushing; the defeat of Joseph Bonaparte at Talavera, in whatever colors the Madrid Gazette, or the French Moniteurs may attempt to conceal the real fact; the invasion of Naples by Stuart; and more than all these, the meditated attack on his fleet in the Scheldt, together with such other ulterior operations as may follow in a quarter so contiguous to France; all these considerations must necessarily render the presumption of war with Austria most painful to him. To the firmness, or to the delays of that cabinet, we may indeed, attribute, in an eminent degree, the success which has hitherto attended our arms in Zealand. For if peace had followed the battle of Wagram, as quickly as Bonaparte, unquestionably meant that it should, the armies of France would have been before this time, on their way to the Netherlands, and Bonaparte in person would have appeared on the Scheldt. It is difficult for us to calculate or to overrate, the effects of such an event. At Presburg, in 1805, and at Tilsit, in 1807, he allowed, indeed, the negotiations to proceed slowly, and to be protracted to some degree of length; because in both these cases, he had no enemy to fear elsewhere. The victories of Austerlitz and of Fredland, had laid the monarchies of Austria, Russia and Prussia, at his feet.—Germany and Italy were tranquil. Spain was his ally, and Holland was uninjured. But, in August, 1809, his affairs press.—From Galicia to Calabria, from the Tagus to the Muese, he must every hour, be assailed with cries and reclamations for support, while he is compelled to turn his arms towards Hungary and Bohemia. Such is Bonaparte's position at the moment in which we now stand.
Nor can he be encouraged to prosecute hostilities as far as we are able to judge, by any ardor or manifestation of alacrity, on the part of the three unfortunate allies, the king of Saxony, Bavaria and Wirtemberg. The first of these monarchs remain, by the most recent accounts, with all his family, his queen, and his household, a fugitive, from his dominions, in an inn at Frankfort; while we find that Jerome Bonaparte, at the
head of a body of forces, had entered Dresden; and that prince Poniatowski was in possession of Warsaw, his two capitals. The situation and distress of the king of Bavaria are eloquently portrayed in the royal edict which he has just published, dated in the 30th of last month, from Munich, and of the authenticity of which document, no doubts can be entertained, it being given in the Moniteur of the 9th of August. His Bavarian majesty, admits, in the least equivocal language the exhaustion of his country, his own pressing wants, the calamities inflicted on himself and his people, "by the seat of war having been for something established in his kingdom," and the consequent necessity of recurring to a general loan; in other words, to an extraordinary war tax, in order to supply the means of enabling Bonaparte to prosecute the contest with Austria. How doubtful the Bavarian king was of any immediate peace, we may infer from the cautious manner in which he alludes to it. The passage is very remarkable—"The enemy," says he, "has been driven out of our kingdom; and as the armistice has been signed, we may hope for peace; but the nearer we approach the conclusion of peace, the more ought we to redouble our perseverance." Such expressions, it must be confessed, do not increase our convictions of its probability. In Wirtemberg, we know, that insurrection and insubordination have made the most alarming progress, which is confirmed by the latest advices from Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg. While the territory of Margentheim, conferred on the duke by Napoleon, refuses to yield obedience to their new master, the insurgents from the Voralberg continue to ravage the southern portion of Wirtemberg, to the gates of Bregenz, and of Kempten.—Such are the blessings conferred by the Corsican on his tributary and dependent allies, who assuredly, cannot desire to see a continuance of war in Austria.

NEW-YORK, October 11.
The Spanish frigate Cornelia, now in this port is French built, and is the same vessel in which Bonaparte came from Egypt. She is a 44, and was one of the fastest sailing frigates in the French navy. She is now undergoing repairs, and will begin this day to take in water, &c. and will depart as soon as orders are received from the new Spanish minister.
Latest from England.
The ship Pacific, Stanton, from Liverpool arrived here last evening. She sailed the 3d of Sept. and brings Liverpool papers of the 2d, and London papers of the 31st August, which captain Stanton and the passengers have favored us with.
Great uncertainty prevailed in England, respecting the practicability of executing any further operations on the Scheldt. Indeed it was said, that lord Chatham had called a council of war, and the result was, that the expedition was to be abandoned against Antwerp and the French fleet.
There were many reports respecting the renewal of the war between Austria and France. But the opinion appeared to predominate, that peace between those powers would soon be concluded. The emperor Francis having determined to conclude a peace at any sacrifice.
There are some particulars in the papers relating to Spain, but not of so late a date as before received.
Mr. Armstrong, we are assured, was at Amsterdam, having left Paris, where his situation had become very unpleasant. He had effected nothing with the French government, neither did he expect to effect anything. He was anxious to be recalled. Indeed, it was said in London, that he would sail on his return home in all September.
When the Pacific sailed, our affairs with England remained without any change.
LONDON, Aug. 29.
A mail from Gottenburgh arrived here this morning. The Swedish Gazettes are usually barren of intelligence. The only article entitled to any notice is the following.
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 10.
"We have not yet received any accounts from our army or Navy, nor has any thing transpired of the present state of the negotiations for peace between this country and Russia and Denmark."
"Letters from Genoa and Marseilles state, that the French Consul at Algiers, Dubois Tainville, has been arrested by order of the dey, and that war has been declared against France."
August 20.
A report was this morning prevalent in

the city, that the preliminaries of peace between Austria and France had been signed about the 8th inst. The only authority quoted for this statement, is a gentleman arrived here from Bordeaux, which he left on the 17th. It was generally believed in that place, that the preliminaries had been exchanged at Vienna, and that Bonaparte was actually at Paris on the 14th. The arrival of Napoleon at Bordeaux was certainly expected before the end of the present month, on his way to Spain; and the prefect of the department had issued orders for a guard of honor to hold itself in readiness to escort him to the frontiers. The distance from Bordeaux to Paris is about 330 miles. Of the existence of the opinion at Bordeaux, of the conclusion of peace, and the consequent return of Bonaparte to Paris, and his journey to Spain, no doubt can be entertained; but we do not learn that any official communications of the fact had reached that city. Had the peace been concluded even no recently as the 20th, an event of such importance would have been celebrated before this time throughout France, and consequently illuminations and firing along the French coast would have taken place.
It is confidently stated that official dispatches of great importance have been received from the earl of Chatham, and that the attachment of all the ulterior and more important objects of the expedition is now considered impracticable. For this statement we cannot vouch. It is certain, however, which tend to support the opinion that the capture of the enemy's squadron is unlikely to take place. It would be absurd to suppose that the enemy have not, during the time which has elapsed since the appearance of our expedition, collected a strong force in Holland and Brabant, to oppose any operations which is undertaken by our army on land; with regard to the Scheldt-various means we understand have been adopted to obstruct its navigation. All the guns have been taken out of the French ships and mounted on the batteries newly erected, in addition to those which before covered the banks of the Scheldt, between fort Lillo and Antwerp; and the ships then lightened, have been floated up to a considerable distance above Antwerp.
August 31. Yesterday, the honorable captain Stanhope, aid-de-camp to lord Wellington, arrived at the secretary of state's office, with dispatches from that general, dated at Deletoisa on the 8th inst. They state, that as soon as the British army had recovered the fatigue of the battles of the 27th and 28th ult. lord Wellington proposed to march against Soult and Ney, who were advancing with the intention of getting in his rear. His lordship accordingly broke up from Talavera for that purpose, leaving general Cuesta to defend that position, and about 1500 British sick and wounded. General Cuesta, however, having received intelligence that Ney & Soult had collected such a force as would, in his opinion, make them an over-match for the British army, he unfortunately quitted Talavera, for the purpose of reinforcing lord Wellington. This movement enabled Victor to advance and take possession of Talavera, and of course, our sick and wounded fell into his hands. The advance of Victor entirely disconcerted Wellington's plan of operations, because if he continued his march he would be placed between two armies, each superior to his own. He therefore effected his retreat to Deleitoso, where he has taken a position in which he considered himself as perfectly secure.
The French had collected their forces from every part of Spain, in the hope of overwhelming the British army. Hamburg and Altona papers to the 19th August arrived yesterday. The following are their contents:
"Banks of the Elbe, August 18." "We have no news from Austria that gives any certainty of war or peace, and the general opinion is, that the affairs of Turkey will also be decided by the Austrian congress of peace, if it should really take place. The archduke Charles does not share in the sentiments of his brother the emperor Francis, who is said to be preparing to conclude peace at any sacrifice. The archduke Charles has on this account resigned the chief command of the army, and not from indisposition. A Russian plenipotentiary was hourly expected at Schoenbrunn from St. Petersburg."
"ALTONA, August 18." General Bellegarde has taken the command of the Austrian army. General Hille and other generals will act under his orders. The archduke Ferdinand is arrived in Bohemia with his corps. The king of Bavaria has granted an indemnity to the insurgents of the Tyrol, on condition that they lay down their arms within eight days
The chiefs only of the insurrection are accepted.
[L'Aveille du Nord, Aug. 18.] It is stated in an article from Paris, that Champagny had set out for Raab, to put the finishing hand to the treaty of peace. It appears that another kingdom is in contemplation for one of Bonaparte's family. Alexander Berthier is to be appointed king of Switzerland.
The Gottenburgh mails arrived this morning, and have brought the following intelligence:
GOTTENBURGH, Aug. 18. A merchant vessel called the Providence, came in this morning, and brings accounts of having seen his majesty's ship Alert taken near the Scaw in a calm by six gun boats after a desperate action.
"A letter from Carlscrona this morning states, that they had just learnt of the island of Ertholm having been taken possession of by his majesty's ship Dictator; should this account be correct, it will prove of great importance to the British navy, the fort and harbor will fully protect the Baltic trade, and should occasion require it, 20 sail of the line may conveniently lay and winter there, as there is above 40 feet of water and a good anchorage."

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 2.
Contrary to public expectation, not a syllable has lately appeared in the London Gazette respecting the expedition to the Scheldt; we are therefore entirely at the mercy of private letter writers, who have taken their station at Walcheren, to report the progress of the operations, and speculate upon their ultimate success. One of these, in an elaborate statement, assures us that great uncertainty prevails respecting the practicability of executing any further operations against the enemy's fortresses. It would even seem, that the enemy are resolved to attempt the recapture of Walcheren; and that Bernadotte has with a view to that object, taken the command at Cadzand, whither strong reinforcements of troops are continually sent. It is added that the Boulogne flotilla is to be used for the purpose of carrying over the force destined for the descent. We are rather disposed to consider these preparations of the enemy as designed altogether for the defensive purposes. But at all events, the necessary precautions are taken, by having a strong force in the island, and by stationing guard ships, &c. to frustrate any attempt the enemy may make.
The letters which have been received are written by persons who affect to have a more perfect knowledge of the movements of the enemy than their insulated situation warrants. We are still inclined to think that further, and we trust effective operations up the Scheldt will be attempted.
It is stated in the German papers, that the resignation of the archduke Charles was in consequence of indisposition, and this transfer of the command to prince John of Lichtenstein is only ad interim.
An expedition against Guadalupe is said to be in contemplation.
In the districts of Austria, where the late battles took place, 27 large villages remain deserted. 17 of them are wholly ravaged, and the rest partially so.
It has been already stated from the foreign papers the departure of the Pope from Italy, as was supposed for Avignon, in France.
Some transports with wounded officers and men in our army, and several with French prisoners, are arrived at Portsmouth from Portugal, after a very short passage. The garrison of Flushing arrived in the Downs, in several men of war on Friday.
On Tuesday, 15th August, 1809, Flushing surrendered to the British Arms!—On the same day, Napoleon Bonaparte attained his fortieth year!—From this period of time, Prophecies have declared that his greatness will decline!
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 4. A Letter from Leghorn, of the 15th of last month, contains the following intelligence: "The Pope yesterday left Florence for Pisa, without any public ceremonies, and under a guard. It is said he is going to Avignon in France."
