PARIS, Sept. 18.
The day before yesterday Basilio arrived from London with dispatches for Lord Lauderdale, who has been indisposed for some days, but not dangerously ill.
The new Minister from Prussia, M. de Knobelsdorff, has very frequent conferences with the Minister for foreign affairs, M. Benevent.
When the King of Sweden published manifestoes, and made preparations against France, all Europe smiled, not a town thought it itself in danger, and we were more afraid of the expense and ridicule of such a war than of disastrous events in a war that could not furnish room for anything like a field engagement—but when a more imperial Prince, a prayer Court, and one that at the expense of honor and good faith has acquired the reputation of being extremely circumspect—when Prussia arms and ventures to defy France, one is astonished and disquieted at the storm that may rise to overwhelm the north of Europe. Prussia and what are her grievances? What are her expectations? It is much easier for the French government to make representations & complaints against this power, and recapitulate the many injuries she has pardoned.
This article is too long to translate now, but in the middle there is a terrible reproach and threat. Napoleon (says the writer) distained to visit the archives of Berlin, and to seize the very treaty by which Prussia was engaged to act against France—but in indulging himself in an expedition that was then, and is now so easy, he would have gratified the resentment of the two great powers he had conquered, and the wishes of his whole army, who were filled with indignation at the perfidy of the Prussian King.
Letters from Berlin say, that the differences with Sweden are entirely adjusted—They add, that by the convention between the two sovereigns, the King of Sweden with his army, is to retire to his own states, leaving only the ordinary garrison at Stralsund, and a detachment to occupy the principality of Lauenbourg, until a final arrangement with England. The same letters say that the King of Prussia is daily expected to set off for Magdeburg, & that his brothers have already departed. Although preparations and armaments still continue, the general opinion is that no war will take place.
CASSEL, Sept. 6.
The King of Prussia has signified to our Elector, that he must follow his movements, and put his troops in motion. Our Elector has signified to the King of Prussia, that he sees no motive for these preparations—that if they are directed against Russia, he has no cause of complaint against that power—of against France, he has still stronger motives to remain quiet, since he has declared to our Elector that he might remain perfectly independent, and free to pursue the course it seemed the most preferable for his own interest and security—he could not therefore have any cause whatever of complaint against France. Our Prince further declared, that being in the advanced post, he prayed the King of Prussia not to take it amiss if he should continue entirely neutral.
However attached we may be to Prussia—however devoted to its political system, we cannot but be astonished at a tempestuous armament, which nothing can explain, and that, in every point of view, is perfectly useless.
GENOA, Sept. 6.
The English cartels having finished their quarantine, landed the 6000 French prisoners which they had carried to Sicily.—They give great praise to the English for the treatment they experienced. The Maritime Prefect and the commander of the port have given entertainments to the officers of these three ships. News from Malta announce an event that had nearly reduced to ashes the capital of the island. 26th of July a powder magazine situated in the centre of the town, and in the most populous parts, blew up and destroyed the surrounding neighbourhood; it killed 500 persons, and the number wounded is in proportion.
NAPLES, August 29.
Letters from Cozenza of the 22d, mention, that General Verdier was making the tour of the country to restore order—that the revolted villages had all returned to their duty; that the French flag was flying at Paula; that troops were marching to take Amantea, &c.—This town is defended by an English frigate and some gun boats, and by a small band of assassins who guard the gates. The military commission established by Massena, at its first sitting, adjudged thirty-five to suffer death for murder, plunder, and revolt. All the rich persons and the nobility have returned to their estates, which they had abandoned to the fury of the brigands to save their lives—Among numbers of the nobility we remark the Duke of Mandragone and the Duke of Monteleone—the last has been appointed Chamberlain to her Majesty.
September 2.
When the French arrived at Cozenza, the 16th of this month, they found the town entirely deserted.
The inhabitants having quitted their houses at the approach of the assassins, retired into the woods, and came in crowds on the arrival of their liberators, and the flight of the brigands. Whist Gen. Verdier pursued them from post to post, Marshal Massena found means to prevent their return. They actually know the Chiefs of that revolt concerted at Palmora, for the ruin of our country. Their names ought to be known and devoted to the execration of the public. Their names are Marencola, Mirabella, Claude de Lucques, Dr. Francois Salvatore, Antoine Palmieri, Antoine Ferrari, Peter All. and another Monk, of whom the name is not yet known. The English, so expert in exciting revolts, are still more so in flying from danger. As soon as they heard of the approach of Marshal Massena, they retired from Calabria, fought awhile among the precipices where they were driven, and embarked in the Gulp of St. Euphemia.
PARIS, September 19.
The gazetteers in the north of Germany, for the last six weeks, have not ceased to place be-
fore us, the marches of the Russian, Prussian and Swedish armies, which they think are to form an allied army; they appear to forget that France has more than 200,000 soldiers to sustain the glory of her arms, and to avenge the faith of treaties. Mr. Kotzebue, who recalls so happily, and so apropos all the events of the memorable Seven years war, is advised to count the victories of the French armies, in a war of three months only. He should reflect on the imprudence of lighting a flame that will not be easily extinguished, and that no force can oppose with impunity, the first captain of his age, and the most warlike army in the world, who is about to enter the fields of their former glory. Those brave men who moved with so much rapidity from the borders of the channel to the gates of Vienna, and the plains of Austerlitz, will with more facility surmount any obstacle, that can be now placed in their way, and pass from the banks of the Rhine to the frontiers of Saxony and Brandenburg.
VIENNA, Sept. 3.

They inform from Bucharest, under date of the 19th August, that the Princes of Moldavia and Wallachia are seriously alarmed at the movement made by the Russian troops on the Dniester. Notwithstanding the devotion of those Princes to Russia, they are particularly alarmed on account of a Russian courier, which was lately sent to Servia, near the insurgents.
STUTTGARD, Sept. 9. The departure of the Austrian prisoners continues daily, and detachments of the French artillery are daily passing towards the Rhine, but after the news which we yesterday received, we presume those prisoners and the French artillery will take different directions. A part of the equipage of Prince Alexander Berthier has arrived at Munich. A French camp has commenced forming in the vicinity of Noerdlingen; all the troops quartered in the territories of the prince Ettingen-Wallenstein have repaired thither.
All the Prussian troops which were stationed in the suburbs of Nuremberg, belonging to the king of Prussia, have departed for Baireuth.
September 11. A French chief of Brigade of Corps of Marshal Ney, arrived here two days ago from Memmingen, and gave orders for the establishment of a powder magazine, at Cannonsbach. A company of artillery-men, arrived there the next day, for the purpose of making cartridges. It is reported that the French ordinance which was in our vicinity, and a few days ago was ordered to be transported to France, has been ordered back. The removal of the military stores from the grand depot at Ulm has been suspended, and the horses which had been put in requisition, are still retained for transporting back those which had been removed.
September 13. We have just received the judgment of the extraordinary military commission, established at Braunau for the purpose of trying sundry persons charged with serious offences. The judgment of the said commission, which has been published and posted in all public places, declares that Joseph Schoderer, merchant at Donawert, John F. Palm, bookseller at Nuremberg, Markel, innkeeper at Neckars, Ulm, in Bavaria, Joseph F. Genilh, first clerk in the book-store of Stuy, at Augsburg, Kupfer, bookseller and printer at Vienna, and Enrich, bookseller at Lintz, in Austria, were legally charged of being the authors, printers and vendors, of certain pamphlets published against his majesty the emperor of France, and against the French army, written with the intention of exciting the inhabitants of the South of Germany, to an insurrection and assassination of the French troops, and seducing the latter to disloyalty to their lawful sovereign (Bonaparte).
HANOVER, Sept. 7. Piquets are drawn from the several corps of cavalry, in order to watch the borders of the Weser, and the country between that river and the Ems, in order to prevent the defection of the Prussian infantry, which has become so general, that some companies have lost a third, and others a half of their men. It is asserted that general Ruchel, will not retain the command of the army. Count Schulteimbourg is universally regretted. The mandates of the royal treasury, have experienced a considerable depreciation, since the report of the war has been in circulation.
AUGSBURG, Sept. 10. A French courier passed through our city yesterday charged with important dispatches for Prince Alexander Berthier minister of war.
Several ordinances of police, which will produce the most happy effects, have lately been published in our city; every branch of administration is ameliorated: all the Roman Catholic, and Protestant churches in the Bavarian provinces in Suabia are obliged to send immediately all the superfluous plate for which they have no immediate occasion, to be made use of for the wants of government. [This is surely a blessed effect of the measures of police.]
According to letters from Trieste of the 27th August, a Prussian Courier passed through that city the day before from St. Petersburg, which he left after the arrival of D'Oubril; his dispatches were directed for the Prussian commander in the Adriatic, his orders were to cross it, and he accordingly embarked for the place of his destination, on the 27th of August. The same letters add that the month of the Cattaro had been delivered by the Russians to the Austrians, and by the latter to the French, and that the stipulations of the treaty of Presburg, being now completed, that the Count Bellegarde will return with the troops under his command to Trieste, where they were daily expected, and further it is stated that the Russian troops which were in Albania, had re-embarked for the Seven Islands.
NEW-YORK, November 10. Captain Perry, of the ship Thames, left Amsterdam on the 20th of September, and has lately furnished the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of Dutch papers to the 13th. Under that date from Amsterdam, the only interesting article is one which informs us of a convention having been entered into between the two houses of Saxony and Brandenburg; that on the frontiers of Saxony the French have a formidable force of not less than 50,000 men; and that the Prince of Hesse Cassel remained in a state of inactivity as to military preparations.
Our verbal accounts from Amsterdam state a report that Russia and Prussia had formed a coalition, and declared war against France; that Sweden had offered to assist the two former powers to the utmost extent of her resources; that a Dutch camp, to consist of 16,000 men, was forming at Utrecht; and that a fleet of 7 sail of the line, under Admiral De Winter, was at anchor in the Nieu Diep.
On the 21st of September, off Dover, capt. Perry was boarded by the British gun brig Tygress, and informed by her commander that Lord Lauderdale had returned to England without concluding a peace.
Markets in Amsterdam for West-India produce were on the rise, in consequence of the prospect of the renewal of hostilities on the continent.
The following interesting reflections on the relation of FRANCE AND PRUSSIA, are extracted from a late London paper—They are strongly corroborative of the opinion that a war between these powers is unavoidable. "Were we to form our opinion of the state of the public mind and feeling in Germany, from what we read in the Continental papers, we should be apt to conclude that, in respect to France, they were influenced by no other sentiment than that of the most passive and implicit obedience. Our private correspondence, however, presents a picture of a quite different character and colour. We have received, by the last Hamburg mail, a letter from Berlin,
dated the 13th instant. The intelligence contained in it is of the highest importance, and we can venture to pledge ourselves for its truth and authenticity. "M. DE BOHM, attached to the Prussian embassy at Paris, arrived at Berlin, on the 5th instant with dispatches. The contents of these had been scarcely considered in the Prussian cabinet, when orders were issued to place the whole of the army immediately upon the war establishment. M. De Bohm was supposed to be the bearer of a proposition from the French government, that Prussia should restore Hanover to Great-Britain, and either cede or exchange her possessions in Westphalia. We have no doubt that some arrangement of this nature has been proposed by France, and that all the movements and demonstrations towards the frontiers of Saxony and Westphalia have been for the purpose of imposing it upon the court of Berlin. This extraordinary demand created, as might be expected, a strong sensation in the Prussian councils.—Whether it has been allayed by subsequent communications from France, or by the conferences which took place on the 10th inst. between Laforet, the French ambassador, and count Haugwitz, cannot long remain undiscovered.
"There are circumstances, however, which incline us to think that Prussia is either averse to the proposed arrangement, or that she is justly distrustful of the arrangements of France. She is every where concentrating her troops, and placing the fortresses on her Western frontier in the best state of defence and supply that the pressing exigency will allow her. On the night of the 15th instant, the Prussian troops evacuated Cuxhaven, and proceeded by forced marches to join the army in Hanover, where a force of 60,000 men was collecting between the capital of that Electorate, and the town of Hildesheim. All the troops in the Electorate were proceeding to this camp. Another army much more considerable, was ordered to assemble, in that part of the Prussian dominions contiguous to Saxony. Magdeburg, Erfurt, and other places were ordered to be garrisoned and victualled.
From the activity and suddenness of these preparations, it is evident that his Prussian majesty will not sink into that tame and unresisting being, which probably, but upon very reasonable grounds, it must be confessed, Bonaparte was led to expect.—Some means must be found to satisfy him for his losses in Franconia. The restoration of Hanover would severely affect him in two points, his interest and his honour; and the objections to ceding or exchanging what he holds in Westphalia are equally strong. How is the King of Prussia to be indemnified for these multiplied sacrifices of character and territory, except by a premature robbery of the Saxon dominions, which circumstances, and the course of events, are very likely to place one day in his power, without the interference or consent of France? But will Prussia risk a war with France? We do not think she will, because we are persuaded Bonaparte will not push her to that extremity. He will not, except his imprudence be more monstrous and extravagant than his ambition, plunge into the dangers of another war for objects of such minor consideration. Powerful as he is, he is not placed beyond the reach of peril and misfortune. The loss of one important battle would be the signal to all Europe to rise against him. What security has he against such contingency? Though France may, and certainly would, eventually succeed against Russia, single handed, the final triumph might not be achieved without force intermediate disorders. Is Holland so fascinated with the talents and popular manners of her new sovereign, as to acquiesce in her present condition, and to lose all remembrance of her former proud and palmy state? Is not Bonaparte aware, that the sturdy inhabitants of that territory only want means and opportunity to rise en masse, and to drive the minion he has set over them, and every Frenchman out of the country? Austria is subdued, it must be confessed, but she is not yet extinct. She possesses hearts and hands, the remembrance of former disasters and disgrace, inveterate hate; every physical and moral quality, in short, which can render a nation truly formidable, whenever the leaders of it chuse to put these great means into motion.—Bonaparte would be fitter for the Biebre (the Paris Bedlam) than the palace of the Thuilleries, were he to risk the routing of all these dormant antipathies for the sake of obtaining a paltry triumph over Prussia.
"Neither in the letters from Berlin, nor the Hamburg paper of the 16th, which has reached us, is there any mention or indication of a disposition on the part of Prussia to acknowledge the confederation of the Rhine, or to concur in the intended changes in Germany. On the contrary, we find that Count Goertz, the Prussian envoy to the Diet of Ratibon, whom the Paris Papers mentioned to have proceeded in the same official character to Frankfort, had returned to Berlin."
BERLIN, Sept. 7. The King sets off immediately for the army, and it is said the Count Haugwitz accompanies him—all his brothers have gone before. Prince Ferdinand is in Saxony—M. Mellendorf and the Duke of Brunswick are expected at Magdeburg. The works on the fortifications continue with indefatigable activity, as also the filling the magazines.
The Chamber royal of war and domains has published in the name of the King, that all reports respecting the cession of certain Prussian provinces, are entirely destitute of foundation, and that his Majesty has no idea of any cessions or exchanges whatsoever.
They write from Petersture, the 25th of August, that the name of Oubril has been erased from the list of Members of the department of foreign affairs.
AUGSBURG, Sept. 11. Letters have been received from Cracow, dated August 30; they inform that for this fortnight past crowds of young men are continually arriving from South Prussia and Silesia; they fly to their homes to avoid the conscriptions; more than 7000 have already arrived, and great numbers of deserters from the Prussian regiments. Letters from Moravia and Austrian Silesia are filled with similar accounts; they say that at Troppau, Jagerndorf, and other neighbouring towns, all the houses, taverns &c. are encumbered with these emigrants; they can find no place to lodge, and work can be procured by very few.
They write from Trieste, that the English Consul had sent official information to the Exchange, that an English fleet had failed from Malta to blockade Venice—that the inhabitants of Trieste might see the necessity of suspending all commerce with that place—This news has filled us with consternation.
BOSTON, November 6.  LATEST FROM EUROPE. By the arrival of the brig B. Field, captain Fofter, in the very short passage of 37 days from Copenhagen, we have been favoured by the post-haste and attention of captain Fofter, with Hamburg and Copenhagen papers to the 27th September.
The following translations obligingly furnished by Mr. Hoff, Swedish consul in this place, show that their contents are HIGHLY INTERESTING.
DENMARK.  COPENHAGEN, Sept. 27. They write from Koningsberg, that troops are embarking in several Russian ports, to be transported to Pomerania. The combined Dutch and French army in Holland is said to amount to 70,000 men. Several Camps are formed on the frontiers of Russia.
The Prussian troops are moving towards the Grand Army now forming in Saxony, and are in motion in every direction. It is said the French minister at Berlin has demanded his passports.
GERMANY.  From the German papers. —The late Prussian minister at London, Mr. Jacobi, who had proceeded on his journey home, has arrived at Hamburg, and, it is believed, intends returning immediately to England.
The French troops on the Rhine and Maine are in motion; and a part of them actually passed over to the right bank of the latter river at Frankfort.
The French Emperor's Body Guards have quitted the Palace of St. Cloud, and been replaced by other troops.
The treasures of the Cathedral at Munster have been removed to Madgeburg for safety. From the Hamburg Correspondent, Sept. 26.—The number of the Swedish troops in Lauenburg increases; and it is said, are to be joined by a body of Prussian troops.
The Prussian minister has frequent conferences with four Cabinet.
[Nothing is said in the German papers relative to Austria.]
ITALY.  NAPLES, Aug. 15. The junction of the French Generals, Massena, Regnier, and Verdier, leaves the enemy no chance of success. It is said the advantages obtained by the different corps of the army are so decisive, that out of 30,000 French, who were on their march for Naples, by way of Ancona, 20,000 have received orders to halt, and to fall back. All these auxiliaries had already been rendered useless, and even those that have been accepted, are no longer necessary; but they may serve to save the effusion of blood, by commanding a more prompt obedience. Among the other means of repression, employed under these calamitous circumstances, is the establishment of four extraordinary tribunals, for the purpose of trying individuals guilty of crimes against the security of the state, and the public tranquility.
FRANCE.  PARIS, Sept. 9. Prince Jerome Bonaparte arrived on Sunday at St. Cloud after his long cruise. His Majesty immediately presented him with the Great Ribbon of the legion of Honor.
Sept. 17. —The general opinion here is, that War is unavoidable. They speak of the departure of the Emperor, as an event not very distant. LORD LAUDERDALE IS STILL HERE. Frequent Couriers pass between this and Holland; and it is believed he will be called upon to take a considerable part in the war, which now threatens all Europe.
ENGLAND.  LONDON, September 18. The measures about to be adopted in respect to the capture of Buenos Ayres, will, we trust, be such as to secure the commercial interests of this country every advantage that the possession of so valuable a settlement can afford, and at the same time to promote the prosperity of the province. We have already expressed our anxiety for the speedy arrival of reinforcements to enable the victors to retain possession of the important fruits of their enterprise and their gallantry; and we are now happy to find, that a part of the troops who have lately embarked are destined for that service.
The latest accounts from Naples contains a decree for the purpose of restoring internal tranquility, which shews more clearly than a volume of evidence the inflamed and perturbed state of that unfortunate country. Several parts of Calabria have been laid waste by fire and sword; but as these means have not been found adequate to the end, the mild and merciful Joseph has called in the aid of secret Tribunals, to supply the deficiency. He has established a cruel and sanguinary inquisition; and the loyalist, who has escaped the fire and the sword of the military, is thus reserved to endure the aggravated horrors of a mock trial, to be butchered in cold blood.
Sept. 19. —Although it seems the English are not willing to exclude Neutrals from trading to Buenos Ayres, yet it is supposed the duties will be such as not to encourage the importation of any other than British Goods.
Mr. Sheridan has declined the honor of the Westminster election. Earl Percy will probably be elected, having the support of Lord Grenville and other distinguished friends.
Bets are laid that the negotiation will break off within a fortnight. Stocks, 8 per cents, 63 1-4 62 7/8; omnium 7 1-2 8 3/4 7 1/4.
The British government has issued an order for opening the trade of Buenos Ayres to the British merchants, and reinforcements have been sent out to hold the conquests.
Earl Spencer terminated the foreign business after Mr. Fox's death.
The Bishop of Quebec arrived in London the 14th of September.
Captain Fofter left Cronstadt the 19th, and Copenhagen the 30th September. Previous to his departure from the former place, he learnt, that no part of the treaty which had been signed at Paris, by M. D'Oubril, was agreeable to the views of the Emperor Alexander, or in conformity to his instructions; and that such was the indignation of the Russian Court against this minister, for having violated the faith which he owed to his sovereign, that an order of banishment had immediately followed his return to St. Petersburg, and M. D'Oubril was no longer to be found among the living, unless on his way to the deserts of Siberia.—That the greatest activity prevailed, in levying and embodying troops; that immense camps had been formed; that large bodies were marching towards the frontiers; and that nothing else was talked of but war against France, a measure which appeared to be very popular among all classes; that the Prince Constantine, brother to the Emperor, was spoken of as being highly in favour of the war; and had offered the utmost assistance which he could lend to the cause.
Capt. Fofter further advises, that the day before he left Copenhagen, accounts were received at that place, per mail, that every hope of peace had finally vanished; and that hostilities had actually commenced between Prussia and France; that Lord Lauderdale had demanded his passports, and was on the point of quitting Paris, three several times, during the negotiation, without having effected the object of his Embassy; but that from circumstances which were not known to the public, though not ef-
fecting the serious business of the Negotiation, he still remained at Paris, at the date of the last accounts from that city. On the subject generally of a renewed continental War, Capt. Fofter was desired to report, by his merchant at Copenhagen, that the false calculations might be made on the certainty of its commencement, and a strong probability of its long continuance.
Extra of a letter from Lisbon, Sept. 1. "There is here at present, a British fleet of 25 sail of the line, under the command of earl St. Vincent.
"A large reinforcement of ships and 16,000 troops are expected here to protect the Portuguese against the Spaniards, who have entered the frontiers. General Hutchinson, the commander in chief, with his staff, has just arrived in the Santa Margareta frigate."
NEW-YORK, November 10. Captain Perry, of the ship Thames, left Amsterdam, on the 20th of September, and has lately furnished the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of Dutch papers to the 13th. Under that date from Amsterdam, the only interesting article is one which informs us of a convention having been entered into between the two houses of Saxony and Brandenburg; that on the frontiers of Saxony the French have a formidable force of not less than 50,000 men; and that the Prince of Hesse Cassel remained in a state of inactivity as to military preparations.
Our verbal accounts from Amsterdam state a report that Russia and Prussia had formed a coalition, and declared war against France; that Sweden had offered to assist the two former powers to the utmost extent of her resources; that a Dutch camp, to consist of 16,000 men, was forming at Utrecht; and that a fleet of seven sail of the line, under Admiral De Winter, was at anchor in the Nieu Diep.
On the 21st of September, off Dover, captain Perry was boarded by the British gun brig Tygress, and informed by her commander that Lord Lauderdale had returned to England without concluding a peace.
Markets in Amsterdam for West-India produce were on the rise, in consequence of the prospect of the renewal of hostilities on the continent.

WASHINGTON, November 12. We have the satisfaction of informing our readers that in consequence of instructions from the court of Madrid, Col.

AARON BURR. Rumours, of which the name of Aaron Burr is made the vehicle, actually swarm around us; many of them of such a complexion that it might be criminal either to treat them with indifference, or to receive them as absolutely true. Under such circumstances it is our duty to record them. They will inculcate vigilance and the propriety of a state of preparation for any events which may occur. Let it not be imagined that we have any doubts of the virtue and patriotism of the Western States, or apprehensions of any machinations to separate them from the Union. On the contrary we believe their affection to the union and the administration unbounded. Notwithstanding, there may be men among them who are deluded by their ambitious views, and who may form the most un-promising projects.
It is affirmed as an unequivocal fact that a contract has been entered into with Comfort Tyler for furnishing, on the waters of the Ohio, about the beginning of October, provisions to the amount of forty-thousand dollars at the bighest market prices . This is vouched by creditable men, who declare they have the information from those who have seen the contract. The fact is likewise corroborated by several persons to whom offers of purchase were made, but who declined entirely from the mysterious appearance of the business. It is affirmed as undeniable, that during the last winter Mr. Burr offered general Eaton a commission which the latter rejected; in consequence of which the latter gentleman, at an entertainment at which Mr. Burr was present, gave a toast to this effect—"May the arm be withered, and the head paralyzed, that shall attempt or meditate a separation of the states." Ib.
Of Miranda. —Almost every arrival from the West-Indies brings some account of this extraordinary character, each generally at variance with each other.
Captain Bourne, from Curacoa, informs us that on the 8th of October, after being several times fired at, he was boarded by a British brig of war belonging to Miranda's squadron, and treated roughly. The commander informed captain B. that Miranda had sailed from Aruba for Barbadoes, and that most of his forces had left him.
On the other hand, captain Murray, of the brig Ceres in 18 days from Trinidad, assures us that Miranda had not left Aruba, and that he had received no succours.
Captain Muzzey, of the brig Exchange, who left Trinidad about the 20th October, says, he saw a ship going into the harbour, which he supposed to be the Leander .
By a letter dated 22d Oct. at Pinckneyville, it appears that Capt. Hood of the 1st U. S. regiment of Infantry, had arrived from Natchitoches, a few days before the date of the letter, who states that the Spaniards had evacuated the disputed ground, and that it is supposed every thing will be quiet in that quarter.

LEXINGTON, (Ken.) October 20.  Extra of a letter from a gentleman at Nashville, to the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette, dated October 5.
"General Jackson has issued orders for two companies of militia to be raised, for the purpose of marching to Natchitoches against the Spanish troops there. They are to be raised as quick as possible, and to be in readiness to march at a moment's warning."
NASHVILLE, October 25. The detachment of troops from this territory destined to Natchitoches all except capt. Farrar's company of dragoons, are on their return—having received orders from gen. Wilkinson to that effect—the Spanish troops having all retired beyond the Sabine. (Natchez Pap.)
CHILLICOTHE, October 25. The Kentucky Gazette denies that Col. Burr is building or concerned in any boats whatever on the Muskingum. The editor of the Ohio Gazette will now it is hoped be explicit as to the charge originated with him and prove it.
The Western World. —We suspended the history of the Kentucky Spanish Association with the Xth number, because we would not distrust our readers with barren details of defunct statements. The editors of that paper have now brought down their history to the XVIIth No. in which they profess to "have concluded their narrative of the principal facts" and to promise something like a general recapitulation of the proofs on which the existence of this conspiracy is said to depend, and of the respective parts which the reputed conspirators are said to have taken in it. As this summary view of proof may serve to shed one gleam of light over the chaos of facts which they have heaped together, we have deemed it a useful occupation to submit it to our readers. Should the three remaining numbers go on with this recapitulation, we also shall pursue their researches.
"The proofs of the existence of a Kentucky Spanish conspiracy, and the respective parts which those men, whom we have called conspirators, have acted in the association, will compose this and three following numbers, with which it is our design to close the first of those secret combinations which we have proposed to unfold.
"1st: With respect to general Wilkinson whom we charged as the original projector of the scheme. The proofs at present which we shall exhibit against the general, are: 1st: The correspondence between Colonel Marshall and General Washington, which we noticed in the first number. The existence of this correspondence is proved by the letter of A. K. Marshall, republished in this day's paper from the Kentucky Gazette. Mr. Marshall says, "They shall now be given to the world and except their letters which will be excised from me by Franklin, the editors of the Western World never did give any information from me (for I possessed none) to my father's bureau, or as I believe any member of my family."
"It is proper here to observe our reason for having declared this correspondence was in the possession of general John Marshall of Richmond, Virginia.—We were informed from authority upon which we could rely, that the letters between gen. Washington and colonel Marshall, were given to the chief justice by Bushrod Washington along with the other papers of general Washington, which fact is not contradicted by A. K. Marshall. Mr. Marshall says, "And it is also true, that the copy of this communication and general Washington's answer, are not as far from Frankfort as the city of Richmond, and if any of the papers on this subject are in the hands of the chief justice, he acquired them with the other papers of general Washington, and for purposes too well known to need a remark." On this point, therefore, our readers will rest satisfied until the appearance of the correspondence which Mr. Marshall has promised.
"The 2d proof which we offer, of the agency of general Wilkinson in the Spanish Association, are the papers of gen. Wayne, in the possession of Isaac Wayne, esq. Chester county, Pennsylvania; which we have taken measures to obtain, and flatter ourselves that Mr. Wayne, will also see the propriety of giving them to the public. That such papers are in existence discriminating gen. Wilkinson, is evident from the communication of Mr. Stockdell, which appeared in the last Western World.
"The 3d proof upon which we rest our assertions, are the papers of the late deceased Colonel Butler, who is well known to have fallen a victim to the rancorous hate and malignant persecution of General Wilkinson. These, likewise, we have the best assurance for believing, will soon be given to the public; and are informed will prove in the most satisfactory manner, the charges with which we have accused the general.
"The 4th proof, are the testimony of several respectable characters now in the state of Kentucky, who declare that general Wilkinson used many arguments to induce them to embrace an alliance with Spain, in preference to a union with the Atlantic states. They decline having their names made public in a newspaper, but we will readily communicate them to any person authorised by general Wilkinson for that purpose.
"The 5th proof are the several corroborating circumstances which we have related of Philip Noland, and Joseph Ballinger, who are well known by hundreds in the state of Kentucky, to have been the tools and servants of general Wilkinson, on various occasions."

DECUS.
We lay before our readers the following introductory paper of Decius, with the essay which succeeds it on our British relations, without wishing to accompany them by a single comment. Whatever weight might belong to the observations that we might offer upon this subject, we still deem it much more liberal to trust the remarks of Decius to the world, without the slightest animadversion, and leave them to work all the effect which they are capable of producing.
With respect to the "Important Facts," on which Decius himself comments in his introductory essay, it is scarce necessary to inform our readers, that they appeared some time since in the Enquirer, in the form of an editorial article. They were such facts as the editor deemed not less important than true. But it is a memorable truth that not a single public print has hitherto re-published or noticed these statements. Common justice however seems to require that they should now be published along with the following objections of Decius; in order that both sides may be heard, and the public be left to judge fairly between them.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER.
Sir, The enclosed sheets, which contain the second number of Decius, have lain for some weeks by the author, and possibly might never have emerged from their privacy, but for some late passages in your paper. The fate of his first essay, which, literally, "fell still-born from the press," gave but little encouragement to Decius to continue his labours, and held out to an indolent temper an inducement to repose, too inviting to be resisted. The work was accordingly suspended. The first number, indeed, contained a promise to prosecute the subject; but there could be little occasion for a punctilious adherence to a voluntary engagement, whose performance no one seemed to require. 'Tis true that, under the pretence of fulfilling their promise to the public, authors do, too often, load the press with trash, which serves no other purpose than to enhance the price of paper. But Decius is no author—and can never encounter the drudgery of writing, but with reluctance, and even dread. He was sensible that the publication of his second essay would beget the necessity of a third, and he could see no reason why he should harrafs himself with writing, what he seemed disposed to read. Except some slimy objections, which were left to answer themselves, the publication appeared to have attracted the notice of no one. These however have since assumed a more serious form, and one which demands examination. Whilst Decius is little anxious who shall arraign his opinions, he can never stand indifferent, when his facts shall be called in question.
Among the objections which have been taken to the first essay, it has been alleged, that the federalists would make a handle of it, and torture it to suit their purposes. There is a plausibility in this assertion not ill calculated to captivate weak minds: but men of reflection and understanding must at once perceive that it covers too wide a ground; that it is equally applicable to the official, as well as private language, which has been held by the Chief Magistrate, since his induction to office, and to the wisest and most wholesome measures which have emanated from the legislative authority. Have not most, if not all of the president's communications to Congress; have not the most salutary reforms—the repeal of the judiciary law, the abolition of the internal taxes, been tortured and twisted by the federal party to suit their own purposes.
Again—when the republicans came into power, upon their virtue alone it depended, whether there should exist such a thing as a check upon the exercise which they should make of it. It is not in the genius of federalism to oppose abuse in government, with good will. It is more congenial with her spirit to advocate it in her friends, and connive at it in her enemies. 'Tis her vocation, and she can never be brought heartily to discharge it. Accordingly we find that the most desperate resistance of the federal leaders has uniformly been made to the most wholesome and popular reforms. But setting aside the consideration, that they must always from principle, lean towards malversation in office, the falsehood, scurrility, and rancour of their pretences had justly prejudiced every sober-minded man against their statements. Certainly no republican could, or would, listen to charges against the administration from so polluted a source. This situation of affairs has subjected the press to something like a virtual imprimatur . As the federal prints could not obtain belief, so the republican editors would not publish. It evidently rested then upon the vigilance and firmness of the republican alone, whether there should exist any efficient opposition to unconstitutional, or other injurious measures, in case such should be proposed. If they possessed not virtue and courage enough to withstand such attempts, (by whomsoever made) it is plain that no effectual resistance could be opposed to them. What then?—Is the present administration perfect? Amidst the various agents, supreme and subordinate, in the executive department, has there been, or can there be, no wrong committed? Grant them any thing short of papal infallibility—it became necessary, when they did err, in the opinion of those through whose active exertion they were brought into power, and whose characters were implicated in their misdeeds, that those errors should be freely and promptly exposed. Silence, in such a case, is equivalent to a sanction of the measure in question. These are principles equally rational, and fit for Americans to act upon.
Let us now examine the "IMPORTANT FACTS" stated in the Enquirer of the 24th of Oct. last.
1. The explanation of Decius is not "incorrect," in the "two material points" therein mentioned. It is true "that our ministers proposed to surrender our claims for spoliations," in the sense intended and expressed by Decius. Granting "that they were instructed to make no treaty in which those Spanish claims were not provided for," yet, if their ultimate payment was to be assured by the U. S. (which was the fact) it was fairly equivalent to a surrender of them. The claimants indeed would be provided for, and yet the claim upon the Spanish government, by the same act, relinquished. The distinction between abandoning that for French spoliations and being silent with respect to it, is one of those nice refinements
about which I shall not dispute, but will leave the author to the undisturbed enjoyment of this "important fact."
2d. It is true, that, in their correspondence with the Spanish ministry, our ministers stated, "that, in consenting to establish the Colorado as the Western boundary of Louisiana, they had exceeded their instructions." If such were not the fact, it is probable that those ministers would have so stated it to the government from whom they received those instructions; or that those dispatches would have been laid by that government before Congress, without rectifying the error?
If the complete abortion of the negotiation at Madrid, did not (as the author of "Important facts," would seem to contend) preclude the propriety of recurring to fresh negotiations; if that failure of pacific measures created no necessity for resorting to others of a different complexion towards Spain, will he, or any other man, assert the expediency of using coercive measures towards Great Britain, with whom we had a negotiation at that time pending? Surely if the state of affairs with Great Britain called for strong measures on our part, our situation with Spain demanded still stronger. And if our relations with Spain did not warrant any such measures, much less could they be justified by the existing circumstances between us and Great Britain. If we went far enough with Spain, we went too far with Great Britain; if we did not go too far with Great Britain, we did not go far enough with Spain.
Decius has no where positively asserted, that the Louisiana treaty was antedated. The information which he had upon that subject induced him to believe that such was the fact. That belief is not at all impaired by the observations in the Enquirer. The only evidence of the existence of the "contradict" is the signature of the parties to it. If the treaty was "signed" subsequently to the date expressed on the face of it, it was "antedated."
The question of "breach of neutrality" was stated merely hypothetically. It cannot be affected by the countenance of the British minister, at a transaction which he might deem beneficial to his country. Nothing is more common than such concessions from the government of a trading people, to the commercial interests of its subjects. Mr. Pitt might not only wish to enrich the banking houses of London, but gladly lend his aid to any measure that would take Louisiana out of the hands of France; and yet his acquiescence remain unknown at the time of signing the treaty. The "principle" is at least disputable. Suppose the U.S. at war with Great Britain; and France, in consideration of a cession of Labrador were to supply her with troops, or even money? Might it not be deemed a departure from her neutrality? But to have stated the argument fairly, the fact ought to have been taken in connection with our past conduct under Spanish aggression on the one hand, and our menacing tone towards Great Britain, on the other. From this combination of circumstances, might she not infer a disposition on our side to depart from our neutrality? But was not one chief objection to the procedure, that such tameness on our part would inspire Great Britain with contempt for any resistance which we might make to her pretensions? When it shall be established, that aggression upon our maritime rights is a grosser violation of the national honor, than the actual invasion of our territory, then, and not till then, may the remarks quoted in the Enquirer be deemed applicable to this subject. The traders in our sea ports may estimate the capture of their vessels as of more consequence, than the invasion, or conquest, of one of the western states; but they will surely pursue the nation to be of their opinion.
3d. and 4th. The third and fourth of the "important facts" might be put over in silence. The messages speak for themselves. But the public message, breathed an indignant and hostile language against foreign aggression, is to be found in the spirited resolutions offered by large and respectable states, consequent upon it; in the general understanding of the members of both houses of Congress; and that such was the sense of the nation, at large, may readily be seen by a recurrence to the newspapers of the day of both parties, and among them (it is presumed) the Enquirer itself. As to the private message, I am afraid, that those who cannot comprehend its drift from the context, will be little aided in their apprehension by the comments in the Enquirer.
5. When Mr. Monroe's dispatches of the 18th and 25th of October were laid before the house of representatives, several of the best informed members (who had voted with the majority) declared, that they served to convince them that the course pursued towards Spain was wrong; whilst others affirmed that the effect on their minds was exactly the reverse; confirming them in the propriety of the measures which had been adopted. How they should produce these important effects, and at the same time have little bearing on Spanish reactions, is left to the author of "Important Facts" to explain. Would the opinion, or information of Doctor Franklin on the subject of our concerns with Great Britain, be less entitled to weight because he was minister at the court of Versailles; more especially if he had but lately left the court of St. James's, in that capacity? Would such an opinion, or such information be less official or less "documented" than if it came from a minister at London?
6. Does the author of "important facts" certainly know that Mr. R. did not amicably consult the President on the truth of the "vague insinuations of his cautious friend?" as this writer is pleased to term the secretary of the treasury? A few words will put this subject in its proper light. "Mr. Randolph stated to the house that he had been informed," (by two of their members) "that certain propositions had been made, to the treasury, to found the disposition of the secretary of that department on the subject of advancing the money, voted for extraordinary purposes of foreign intercourse, before the bill had passed thro' all the forms of a law." But at the same time he declared, that if the secretary of the treasury would disavow the fact, he should have no hesitation in disbelieving it. Now, if Mr. Randolph had derived his information from that officer, how could he give credit to his denial of the fact. And yet because some person undertook to say that such a disavowal had been made to him, a miserable attempt was made in the public prints, under color of a speech which was never delivered, to impeach the veracity of Mr. Randolph. The letter of the secretary of the treasury must speak for itself—Every man will draw his own conclusions from it. But every man must see, that, whether such an occurrence did, or did not, take place, the veracity of Mr. Randolph is in no wise implicated.
Hearing nearly tired my own patience, and I leave more than exhausted that of the reader, I shall reserve for a subsequent communication the disclosure of such other facts and opinions as I deem material to a proper understanding of the events of the last session of congress. In that number I shall go to the root of all the republican clamors—pledging myself to demonstrate to every impartial and thinking man that the minority are not in the slightest degree
tinclined with federalism; that so far from having any bias towards that party, upon every question in which principle was involved, they had to encounter the joint opposition of the federalists, and that portion of the republican majority who have been denominated third party men.
DECUS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER.
ON Wednesday the 4th of December, Mr. Nicholson moved that "so much of the message of the President of the United States, as related to the conduct of the belligerent powers towards the United States, and to the unjustifiable construction lately given by some of them to the Laws of Nations as it regards the rights of neutrals, be referred to the committee of Ways and Means, with instruction to enquire in what respect and to what extent our neutral rights had been violated, and what legislative measures the true interest of the United States required to counteract such violations." This reference was made, not without pernicious opposition on the part of Mr. Bidwell, who moved to refer the subject to a select committee, of which, consequently, he would have been the Chairman. On the ensuing Saturday, the committee of Ways and Means took the matter into consideration, and instructed their Chairman to address the following letter to the Secretary of State.
"Committee Room, December 11th, 1806. Sir,
"The Committee of Ways and Means have instructed me to request that you will cause to be laid before them such information on the subject of the enclosed resolution, as the Department of State can furnish:
"1. What new principles, or constructions of the Law of Nations have been adopted by the belligerent powers of Europe, to the prejudice of Neutral Rights? 2. The governments asserting those principles or constructions? 3. The extent to which the commerce of the U. S. has been thereby injured?
"I am with very great Respect, Sir,
"Yours, "JOHN RANDOLPH."
A considerable time having elapsed, and no answer having been received, the Chairman waited on the Secretary of State to know when the Committee might expect one. He was informed, by that officer, that he had been so much occupied in preparing a laborious report upon that subject, to be laid before the President, that he had not had time to reply to the letter of the Committee; and it was not until the 26th of January (more than six weeks subsequent to the requisition of the Committee) that the Secretary's communication was made to them. It consisted of a copy of his report to the President, on the new and injurious principles interpolated into the Laws of Nations by foreign powers, and contained no answer whatever to some of the most important points, to which the committee had directed the attention, and on which they had requested the opinion of the Secretary of State. This communication was forcibly received, when (on the 26th of January) the committee were discharged from all further consideration of the subject, which, with Mr. Gregg's resolution, brought forward on that day, was referred to a committee of the whole house on the state of the union. On this occasion, insinuations of tardiness and neglect of duty on the part of the Committee of Ways and Means were thrown out by some members. The Chairman was then absent from indispensation. On the next day, however, he laid on the table his letter to the Secretary of State with the answer, the dates of which clearly exculpated the committee from every imputation of remissness; rendering it self-evident that they could not possibly have reported previous to the time of their discharge.
The resolution of Mr. Gregg begot a brood of others, of which it is not my purpose to notice any but the motion of Mr. Nicholson, which was introduced, not so much from a conviction on the mind of its author, that a coup was in itself advisable, as from a belief that it might prove the means of preventing the House from precipitating itself into more ruinous measures. Accordingly we find that Mr. Nicholson himself, voted to postpone its consideration, and that he declined being a member of the committee which brought in the bill in pursuance of it, to which he eventually gave a feeble and reluctant assent. And yet this bill has been called throughout the continent "Mr. Nicholson's bill." It is equally notorious, that, in regard to the course to be pursued toward Great Britain, no opinion was expressed by the members of the Cabinet, in their collective or individual capacities. On the contrary, the President frequently decided, without reserve, that he had no opinion on the subject. Similar declarations were made by other influential and leading persons presiding over the different executive departments: and it is a fact, that no consultation was held between them from the meeting of Congress until some time in March. This want of concert and decision in the administration might easily have been inferred (even if there were no other proof of it) from the various, discordant, and undigested projects, which were brought forward in the Legislature; and to this want of system must be referred much of the mischief which then resulted from this subject, as well as the embarrassments which have since ensued, & are yet likely to grow out of it.
The aggressions of Great Britain naturally divided themselves into two classes:—Impressment of our seamen, and depredations upon our commerce. To the first we have been subjected under three successive administrations, from the year 1793 to the present time. But this grievance, to which the U. States had so long submitted, and to which Congress had heretofore been content to apply palliatives, was now enlarged and dwelt upon by certain persons, because they saw in a theme which would touch most sensibly the American feelings. Mr. Nicholson did not scruple to republish them with a feigned zeal, and to charge them with having opposed at a former session, a bill which he had introduced for remedying the evil. Mr. John Randolph was of opinion that the improvement of our seamen furnished just cause of indignant resentment on our part; but he saw no reason for pushing that matter to extremity at this time, which had not existed in as full force, for the last five, or even twelve years: Our government, in consideration of the great number of British seamen in our employment, and of the identity of language and manners between that class or their subjects, and the same description of our citizens, but above all, from motives of found policy (too obvious to need recapitulation,) had hitherto deemed it expedient to temporize on this interesting and delicate topic: he could see no just ground at present, for departing from this system—more especially pending an actual negotiation between the two governments, on the point in dispute: He was of opinion that nothing should be left undone to accommodate our differences amicably, and that no step should be taken which might interrupt or defeat such a settlement: that even if we should resort to war, it must eventuate in a treaty of peace,
by which the points of controversy would be adjusted, or left in statu quo ante bellum: and that after incurring the incalculable mischiefs of war—the derangement of our finances and the augmentation of the public debt, to an extent which could not now be foreseen; to fly nothing of its baneful effects upon our political institutions, and of the danger which must accrue from throwing our weight at this juncture, into the preponderating scale of Europe; there was no prospect that we should obtain better terms at any future pacification, than were attainable at present: at any rate he was disposed to give fair play to the fair experiment of negotiation. But if any active measures were to be taken against Great Britain, they should be of the most efficient and decisive nature. He deprecated half measures, as the most injurious to ourselves, which could be adopted.
Whilst the Bill was yet under discussion, the news of the death of Mr. Pitt, and of the consequent change of Ministry, reached the United States. No circumstance could have afforded a fairer or more honorable pretext, or a more powerful motive for suspending our measures against Great Britain than this. The late Premier was known to be decidedly hostile to the institutions, the interests, and the very people of America. No administration, not even that of Lord North himself, had been, or could be more inimical to the U. States, than that of Mr. Pitt. His power was moreover connected with, and depended upon the continuation and duration of the war. He was succeeded by Mr. Fox, unquestionably the most liberal, and enlightened statesman of Europe; the man, above all others, beyond the Atlantic, the best effected towards the principles of our government, and the illustrious character by whom it was administered. Never did a fairer occasion present itself to any nation, for changing, without any imputation of veracity, or any loss of honor, the course which they had chosen to prescribe to themselves. The excitement of public sentiment, and the measures consequent upon that excitement, might fairly and honorably have been referred to the known character of the late Premier, the pupil of Dundas, and the disciple of Charles Jenkinson; and the United States might have awaited, in a dignified and imposing inactivity, the manifestation of a different sentiment by the new ministry. But the new leaders of the House of Representatives were men who soared above, or skimmed below all considerations of time, place, and circumstance: they gloried in their ignorance of men and things in Europe, and boasted that their policy should not be modified, by any change in the aspect of affairs at home or abroad: and in the pursuit of an abstract metaphysical ignis fatuus , they did not hesitate to embark the best interests of the union.
Against these measures Mr. J. Randolph further objected, that during the "five months which our ministers had spent in fruitless discussion at Madrid," it had entered into the head of no body to suggest any proposition of a coercive nature in relation to Spain, and that, even after the total failure of that negotiation no such measure had been proposed; that Great Britain had indeed impressed our seamen, and advanced certain injurious principles of national law, which, if carried into their full extent, would materially affect our commerce, but that Spain, after having refused to make good her felonious stipulations to compensate us for former depredations committed on our commerce, had "rescued the same practices during the present war." She had not, it was true, impressed our seamen, but her cruizers had "plundered and sunk our vessels, and maltreated and abandoned their crews, in open seas, or on desert shores, without food or covering;" her customs of admiralty had indeed advanced no "new principles of the Law of Nations," but they had confiscated our ships and cargoes, without the pretext of principles of any sort, new or old. She had moreover insulted our territory, violated the property and persons of our citizens within our acknowledged limits, and insolently rejected every overture to accommodation. With Spain all our attempts to negotiate had failed:—with Great Britain we had a negotiation actually pending, and which the dispatches of our minister at the court of London gave us every reason to suppose would have a prosperous issue: and even admitting, for the sake of argument, that our vote of money to purchase Florida was, in itself, no derogation from the national honor; inasmuch as we proposed to receive a fair equivalent for it, yet, having refused to take any coercive measures for the unparalleled indignities of Spain, who had peremptorily rejected all our propositions for pacific accommodation, how could we with any face of impartiality towards the belligerent powers, assume this elevated tone towards Great Britain? Mr. Randolph further declared, that the proposed measure was, in itself, inefficient to every valuable purpose; that its sole operation would be to pique the pride, and rouse the resentment of our adversary, and whilst it indicated a strong spirit of hostility on our part, would afford her a fair opening to strike the first effectual blow: that it was indeed to throw our teeth without daring at the same time to bite: that Great Britain would have until the next session of Congress, ample time to devise means for annoying us in the most effective manner, and that meanwhile she might withdraw her property from our grasp, and guard every vulnerable point from our attack. He conjured the house not to suffer themselves, from the honest prejudices of the revolution, from their ancient partiality to France, and their well-grounded antipathy to England, to be legitimated into a war, which would involve the best interests of their country. Above all, he trusted that their measures would in no wise be influenced by any with to avenge on G. B. the wrongs and injuries of Ireland; he declared that his sympathy with that insulted and oppressed people was too strong not to lead him to fear, that the same sentiment might operate on other members, in this case, whilst they themselves were unconscious of it: that whilst he deplored the misjudging of that gallant and generous nation, it was his duty to remember that he was legislating for the U. S. and bound to consult their interests alone. On this occasion Mr. Smilie, who, since the incapacity of Mr. Bidwell had become manifest, was considered as the efficient leader of the majority, avowed, that, although an Irishman by birth, he felt no greater predilection for that country than for any other in Europe or in the world. This declaration was conceived by many, not to confer much honor upon that gentleman, whether true or false.
Another strong objection to the non-importation bill arose from its bearing the aspect (specially when taken in conjunction with our recent conduct towards France and Spain) of a disposition on our part to aid the views of the French government in cramping the navigation, and destroying the manufactures of G. Britain. This constituted one principal source of animosity between those rival nations, and the American government could perhaps take no step which would so strongly excite the resentment of the English ministry. The prompt and decisive conduct of that government towards Prussia, in form as she manifested a disposition to come into the views of France on this subject, forms the best commentary upon
this opinion, and the further change in the tone of Mr. Fox towards the U. S. is no bad criterion of its truth.
When Mr. J. Randolph declared, that if any coercive measures were to be pursued against Great Britain, they should be of the most energetic stamp, and mentioned an embargo as that which he deemed the most efficient at the outset, he was asked by some "why he did not move such a proposition?" and they declared at the same time, that, if he would bring forward the measure, they would support it. To this the answer was obvious:—That he wished to try the fair experiment of negotiation in the first instance: that he deemed it impossible, pending that negotiation, to take any step which might defeat it: and that it was as absurd to him, that gentlemen who had remained entirely passive under the aggressions of Spain, who had refused to concur even in measures of self defence against her inroads—made too after a peremptory rejection of every overture to accommodation, should advocate an oppressive course towards another power, with whom we were at that moment actually treating. The bill nevertheless passed by a large majority. The wisdom of the measure is yet to be tested by its effects.
DECUS.
Gale of the Impetuous —It will not be expected that we shall vouch for the correctness of the facts, which are stated in the following extract of a letter to the Editor of this paper. We are personally unacquainted with the facts themselves or with the author who narrates them. But it will not be regarded as any weak evidence of the truth of his statements, that he has given us his permission to accompany them with the authority of his name.
We presume that the President will lay an authentic report of the facts before the next session of Congress.
"I have been in one of your Papers of 23rd September, some remarks on the burning of the French line of battle-ship L'Impetueux of 74 guns, by the British on the North-Carolina shore.
"You seemed to be desirous of accurate information with respect to the distance the L'Impetueux was from the land. She was unquestionably within less than a mile; a number of people have judged her within a half mile. The British commenced firing on her within four miles of the land, and continued it until she was on our shore, and her sails hauled down, they then fired on her for some time.
"The Ministerial Editors in London, will no doubt, torture their imagination to find out some pretext for the firing on and burning the L'Impetueux on our shore, or have her placed on a bar far distant from the land—and mistake a fair bar for the land. But there was no bar, rock, keel, nor any thing of the kind in this case. She was within less than a mile of the land when she struck, and continued in that spot until she burned down. It is now lashed by the law of nations, that every nation has jurisdiction over its sea coast the distance of a cannon shot. Several of the shot from the Melampus Frigate, fell at the distance of three miles from the ocean, and that near inhabitants too.
"Numerous are the insults and losses we have sustained from his Britannic Majesty's piratical cruizers, after they have committed murder, within our own waters and on one of our citizens. We are prepared to hear of additional degradations.
I am Sir, Yours, &c. DAVID JONES."
