The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.

"Proofs of the corruption of gen. James Wilkinson and of his connection with Aaron Burr," &c.
The general was not yet, however, discouraged from further attempts of this nature. His next application was to another Spanish governor, who did not take the pains that governor Folch did to save appearances. Mr. Salcedo passing through Philadelphia to go to the government of Texas, the general thought it a good opportunity for an experiment; if Mr. Salcedo could be prevailed upon to give a certificate of exculpation, it was well; if his answer was unsatisfactory it might be suppressed. Thus reasoned the general, but he reasoned wrong; the answer was very unsatisfactory, and he could not suppress it. They were published in the Philadelphia Gazette, and the copies (No. 52) can be proved to be authentic. The queries are first pointed to Mr. Salcedo's means of information in the office of Don Andreas Armesto, in '95, '96 and '97; 2d, to the receipt of the 9640 dollars, by Power, or any other money or pension to gen. W.; 3d, whether he would not probably have known such payments had they been made? 4th, whether Powers or myself had access to the archives, and what were our characters; 5th, a prayer for general information that may be useful, and particularly to know in what estimation W. was held by the officers of his Catholic majesty.
Mark the answer:
"Governor Salcedo cannot and ought not to answer the foregoing queries, excepting that part which relates to the character and conduct of Mr. D. Clark, and hereby declares that this gentleman was universally known at all times in Louisiana as a zealous patriot of the United States, an upright man, and of the highest integrity both in his public and private affairs, always preferring the public good to his own interest."
What a dreadful rebuff is given to our inquirer by this blunt answer! Governor Salcedo cannot and ought not to answer any of the foregoing queries, except that part which relates to Mr. Clark, and why? Because he could only answer them by revealing the intrigues of his own nation, and exposing the citizens she had seduced from their allegiance. If he could have given an answer favorable to Wilkinson's views, he has shown that he could and would have done. He has shown in my case, that when he can bear an honorable testimony in favor of innocence, he does it with pleasure. No principle stands in the way of giving exculpatory testimony. But duty prevents his answering any queries respecting Wilkinson. The conclusion is plain; he "ought not to speak the truth, because it will expose an adherent, a pensioner of his nation, and he cannot speak any thing but the truth if he answers at all. He is therefore silent, and this very silence is more convincing than the most energetic words."
Any other man but our hero would have been discouraged in pursuing this course of justification. He however persevered and with the same success. The mental derangement ever attendant on guilt induced him to apply to Mr. Andrew Ellicott, for some testimony in his favor. We have his answer dated the 21st January, 1808. Let us see whether it contains a single expression that may be construed into a presumption of innocence—this is his own testimony, and it is so important that I lay it at once before the reader:
Lancaster, Jan. 21st, 1808.
SIR,
In reply to your favor of 16th, I assure you that during my residence in our southern country, I do not recollect to have ever received a hint, that the late Mr. P. Nolan was concerned in any plans or intrigues injurious to the United States. On the contrary, in all our private and confidential conversations, he appeared strongly attached to the interests and welfare of his country.
With that candor which is due from one gentleman to another, I shall relate the whole of my agency in the business in which you allude. Mr. Eppes's resolution in some measure removes the injunction of secrecy.
Before I left Philadelphia in the year 1796, as commissioner on behalf of the U. States, to carry into effect our treaty with Spain, President Washington communicated to me in the most confidential manner possible, that suspicions had been signified to him of certain citizens of the U. States, improperly connecting themselves with the Spanish government, among whom you were publicly noticed. He thought it a business of so much importance, both to the honor and safety of the country as to merit a thorough, though private investigation, and directed me to pay a strict attention to that subject.
On my arrival at Cincinnati, it was hinted to me that you had several interviews, (some of them private) with a Spanish agent, and who it was asserted had brought a considerable sum of money into Kentucky. This information appeared to me at that time to merit so little attention, that I never communicated it to our government. Immediately on my arrival at Natchez, I heard the common reports of the time from Green, Hutchins and others; they never had any influence on my mind. The doubts and suspicions of Colonel Burr and the late Daniel Clark made some impression, but never so much as to be the subject of a communication. About the latter end of May or the beginning of June in the year 1797, I was minutely informed of the mission of Mr. Power to the states of Kentucky and Tennessee—the object of the mission with the proposition he would make to those states, to induce a separation from the union, and that he was instructed by the Baron de Carondelet, not to return without having an interview with you. His being so often detained & examined in the states above mentioned, was owing to letters which I had forwarded to confidential friends for that purpose. Mr. P. left Natchez, to effect the object of his mission, on the 5th June, 1797, which I believe is the date of my communication to the department of state on that subject. In October, 1799, I received (and probably) from the same source, the outlines of a plan for dismembering the U. States, in which your name is mentioned as one of the principals; and that the correspondence between yourself and the officers of his Catholic Majesty, was deciphered by the aid of a pocket dictionary. This circumstance I think is mentioned in my communication (†) to the department of state on that subject bearing date the 14th day of November, 1797.
In the beginning of November, 1799, a confidential letter of governor Gayoso fell into my hands for a short time, in that letter you, with several others, was mentioned as having been in the interest and pay of Spain. The interesting parts of that letter were reduced to cypher and accompanied my despatches of the 8th of the month above mentioned. The original is, I presume in the hands of either D. Clark, or Thomas Power.
About the 16th October, 1799, capt. Portell, who then commanded at Apalachy, informed me that at N. Madrid, in the year 1796, he put on board a boat under the direction of Mr. T. Power ($964) for your use. I questioned him frequently whether this money was not on account of some mercantile transaction, he declared it was not. He likewise mentioned several other gentlemen who received money from the Spanish government by the same conveyance, and assured me that they were considered as pensioners by the officers of his catholic majesty. I entered the $964 on a piece of paper (now in my possession) and handed it to capt. Portell, who told me it was correct.
Thus far is one side of the picture—Let us now take a view of the other. So far as your conduct in that country, while we were both employed in it, came under my observation, it was perfectly correct, and such as I should expect from a gentleman and a friend of his country, and is mentioned with eulogium in several of my communications to the department of state.
I am sir, &c.
(Signed)
ANDREW ELLICOTT.
General James Wilkinson.
This application was made to Mr. Ellicott at the time the court of inquiry was sitting at Washington. Was his answer communicated to them? I believe not. Had the witness contented himself with presenting the favorable "side of the picture," had he merely stated that the general's conduct, "as far as it came under his observation was unexceptionable," his testimony would have been blazoned to the world. But Mr. Ellicott felt too deeply the duty of a conscientious witness. In telling the truth he felt himself bound to tell the whole. The rank of the applicant, his favor with the government, could not induce him to pass over in silence those
†This communication was in cypher.
circumstances which in his opinion marked the general's conduct with suspicion, and had excited those of his government; he has detailed them, and in every point they corroborate the testimony of Mr. Power, and coincide with the other public facts I have laid before the public. The "SUSPICIONS OF WASHINGTON ARE WIDE AWAKE," says Wilkinson in his cypher letter to Gayoso. "President Washington communicated to me," says Mr. Ellicott, "that suspicions had been signified to him of certain citizens of the United States, improperly connecting themselves with the Spanish government, among whom you [Wilkinson] were PARTICULARLY NOTICED." Again, compare the hints which Mr. Ellicott says he received at the time of Mr. Power's frequent and private interviews with the general, the minute information he received in May or June '97, of his mission to Kentucky and Tennessee, his orders from the Baron not to return without an interview with Wilkinson, the impediments he met with, occasioned by the active patriotism of Mr. Ellicott, the confidential letter he perused from Gayoso, the pocket dictionary cypher, and the communication of Mr. Portell—compare these with the testimony of Mr. Power, remark the coincidence of dates and other circumstances, reflect that this proof could not have been obtained but by the agency of Wilkinson himself—and then adore that Providence which thus leads guilt to produce evidence for its own conviction.
All these attempts at exculpation proving abortive, the accusation appearing in a most respectable form, something was necessary to satisfy the public mind—an investigation of some sort must be had; some of that species was resorted to which offered the greatest facility to his acquittal: a military court of enquiry must be composed of men intimately connected with the general, and in some degree under his controul, while the want of a compulsory process to procure the attendance of witnesses, it was foreseen would deprive the prosecution of the most material evidence in its support.
The result of this enquiry, without intending any reflection on the gentlemen who composed the court, was such as might have been expected. Their sentence expressly states that they had no evidence of the receipt of any money from the Spanish government, but the copy of an account current presented by him (W.) together with several letters from Nolan. The court therefore could give no other sentence than the one they have signed, that there was no evidence (meaning, I suppose, that none had been laid before them) of the general's having received a pension of money for corrupt purposes from the Spanish government. It is extraordinary, however, that none of the documents presented to the court, particularly this all-important account current, have never been laid before the public. They are expressly referred to in the sentence, and as they were essential to the general's justification, as well as to that of the gentlemen who acquitted him of all suspicion. Had he desired it, doubts as those vouchers would have been published. He has not desired it, and he has important reasons for the omission. Precision is dreadful to guilt; dates and sums are troublesome articles to get rid of; and it is much more convenient to say I have presented a satisfactory account, than to give the items of which it is composed. Though I have it in my power to examine the papers presented by general Wilkinson to the court, yet the administration may compare them with the evidence I now produce. If this be done, as I trust it will, without prejudice or partiality, I have not the slightest doubt that evidence may be drawn from them which will confirm the truth of the charges I have made.
On the subject of this enquiry I need not enlarge: it has deceived nobody; it has not removed a single imputation of guilt; and its result was clearly foreseen from the moment of its institution.
It gave, however, to general Wilkinson, an opportunity of making and ushering into the world charges on my reputation of the most serious import, which it is one part of my present design to evince were false and malicious.
Let me remark, however, before I commence this investigation, on the singularity of the court's permitting witnesses to be examined to discredit a man, who did not appear as a witness before them, and to contradict testimony which they refused to admit, for I take it for granted that my evidence, as laid before the house of representatives, and the documents I then produced, were not considered as being before the court, or they could never, with any decent regard to their reputation, have declared in their sentence that there was NO EVIDENCE of the general's having received money for corrupt purposes.
I am endeavored to be discredited—
1st. By an attempt to shew that I continued an intimacy with Wilkinson, inconsistent with a knowledge of his guilt.
2d. That my evidence has been contradicted by other testimony.
3d. That I have before profaned the sanctity of an oath.
4th. That I was concerned in the conspiracy of Burr.
Under some of these heads I believe all the public calumnies resorted to by general Wilkinson may be arranged. I shall examine and refute them in their order.
(To be continued.)
From the United States Gazette.
The following handsome essay upon the state of affairs in Europe was written, by a gentleman from the European continent in the latter part of the year 1808, so soon after we heard of an organized opposition in Spain to the fell tyranny of Bonaparte. The concluding paragraph was then in some sort prophetic of what has since become fact.
REFLECTION UPON THE AFFAIRS OF SPAIN. A ray of light has at length penetrated the gloom in which the continent of Europe has so long been shrouded. Hope seems to whisper, that the long wished for moment is fast approaching in which mankind is to be delivered from the most dreadful of tyrannies.
Storms cannot be perpetual. The tempests which disturb the atmosphere, and the convulsions which rend the earth, are permitted for a while to exert their violence, in order to bring the elements to a just equilibrium. The storms of war and revolution which agitate the affairs of nations, serve to keep alive the energies of man and to correct the ever-growing abuses of government. And as, the fiercest tempests which agitate the material world quickly subside, when once their rage is at its height, permitting the efforts of man and the genial influence of nature to repair the havoc they have occasioned; so, may we hope that this raging and destructive tempest which has so long spread desolation through the political world and which now appears to have arrived at its utmost pitch of fury and violence, shall, ere long, be quelled by an overruling Providence, and succeeded by the calm of peace and prosperity.
At a period of confusion which appeared remediless, of tyranny which fancied itself beyond the reach of danger, of lawless robbery which set at defiance all restraint; at this dreadful period, a spark from the surrounding ruin has suddenly kindled into a flame a courage which had long lain dormant, but which now unites with virtue and honor to nerve the arm that is stretched forth against triumphant wickedness, and that threatens to lay prostrate in the dust a merciless and insulting despotism. A nation has at length arisen with one consent to hurl defiance at the oppressor of mankind. She rushes undaunted upon the veteran legions which have long been accustomed to conquer almost without resistance, and whose sole object in conquest has been the plunder of those whom they subdued.
Napoleon cannot expect to destroy in one day, and by a single movement, the enemy which now opposes him. We have heretofore seen him without striking a blow, bring to his own terms the generals who commanded against him; * we have beheld him surround the armies of his enemies, and, as by enchantment, annihilate their power.† But these almost unexampled success are to be attributed principally to the rapidity of his marches, the celerity of his manoeuvres, and the immense superiority of his forces. The troops against whom he has hitherto contended were already half conquered by the terror of his name. And so extensively and effectually had his object partisans propagated the opinion that his power was irresistible, that he would, in a short time, have had no other use for his armies than to remain inactive spectators, while the sovereigns of Europe, in obedience to his mandates, peaceably deposited their crowns at his imperial foot-stool. But in the war which is now kindled against him, he will not be able to compel his enemies, before quitting the field of battle, to subscribe to a hasty and ruinous peace. Victory will now be succeeded by new combats; fresh troops will rush in to supply the place of the fallen, and they will advance with a courage inspired by fury and revenge.
In a regular war of sovereign against sovereign, the soldiers who fall in battle are calmly replaced by others whose movements are those of mere machines. But when a nation rises to oppose an invading power

which comes to destroy its laws, its liberties, its altars, its all that it holds dear, every individual of the community feels himself interested in the cause, and is roused by any national misfortune to ten-fold zeal and activity.
It was not to be expected that among nations, who by their manners and customs have long been connected with France, enfeebled by the corruption which she spreads among her neighbors, fettered by the national policy of their own government, and awed by the dread of their own rulers, among nations of this description, it was not to be expected that a spirit of frenzy and enthusiasm should ever be exhibited equal to the destruction of this monstrous product of the French revolution, this gigantic tyranny which threatens to trample under foot all law and order. A movement that the Spaniards could never have been produced in any but a proud nation roused by atrocious insults and injuries to a just indignation of its wrongs, and to a protest of its own power and importance; a nation too, that disgusted by the weak measures of its own government, had long suffered a secret fermentation, and was thus prepared to act with unanimity and energy whenever a great occasion should call forth exertions.
The sovereigns of Europe in their war on the continent, have been more solicitous to preserve their crowns than to protect their subjects; they have evinced greater dread of sacrificing a part of their territory than of endangering their national independence. While their whole thoughts have been bent upon preserving the integrity or extending the limits of their dominions, they have, in fact, been undermining the foundations of their power; for they have, by their conduct, greatly diminished the reverence and affection of their subjects; and they have prepared them to receive tamely the yoke of servitude, by a guilty participation in the schemes or a blind submission to the will of the common enemy.
Bonaparte has, until lately, been careful to color every attack upon the continental powers with some specious pretext. He has not marched into their territories without a formal declaration of war, nor without setting forth against the sovereigns or their cabinets some grievances (real or pretended) as the cause of his aggressions. His conduct, therefore, though unjust, has not been of such an atrocious nature as to arouse the indignant spirit which, like the electric spark, is sometimes found to pervade in an instant every member of a community. But in his measures towards Spain he has pursued a very different course. While preparing her subjugation and ruin, he affected to disclaim every thought of doing her injury; while meditating the most infamous treachery, he was prodigal of expressions of friendship and regard. If he entered her territories, it was, he declared, in order to aid her in subduing Portugal, and in regaining a free intercourse with her colonies by expeditions that were to compel England to a peace. So sincere did his respect for her national independence appear, that, amidst the internal divisions by which she was agitated, he commanded his generals to observe a strict neutrality. He pretended to be an unconcerned spectator of the abdication of Charles, of the fall of the prince of peace, and of the accession of Ferdinand VII. to the throne. But he has, of a sudden, torn off the mask; he has exposed his infernal machinations to the view of the world. The nation of which he styled himself the friend and ally suddenly sees her government overthrown; and upon expressing her regret rather than indignation, hears a ruthless master announced, the first act of whose unfeeling myrmidons is to shed the blood of her citizens.
The whole conduct of Bonaparte towards the Spaniards has been calculated to excite in their bosoms horror and disgust, and to engage on the side of vengeance every feeling.
* The recent risings of several of the German states do not militate against the sentiments here expressed. Since the writing of this article a spirit of patriotism has burst forth in various parts of the German empire, which at that time, nothing but infatuation and the most abject submission prevailed.
† Written in October last under the Jeffersonian administration.
‡ On the 2d of May, when the queen of Etruria and her brother were forced by the French to leave Madrid, the latter was observed to express great reluctance, and even to weep bitterly, at which the people were much affected and irritated. At this moment an aid-de-camp to the savage murderer of the duke d'Enghien (Murat) rushing on at the head of a gang of French imperial bloodhounds, commenced a scene of slaughter in which several thousand inhabitants of Madrid were destroyed.
ing of the heart. They have seen their old monarch in bondage, the young prince whom they had called to the throne detained a prisoner, their queen obliged by a pretended confession to cast a stain upon the birth of her own offspring; in a word, they have seen the whole royal family, by force and treachery, brought under the power of the usurper of their rights. In all these dark transactions, the Spanish people have been accounted as nothing; it seems to have been expected that they would endure, without murmuring or resistance, any outrage or oppression that might be brought upon them. They have been treated like a herd of unresisting animals ready to submit themselves to the first creature of Napoleon who should be placed over them. Neither their manners, their habits, their opinions, nor their prejudices have been at all taken into consideration; they have been looked upon as a degenerate race which had lost every vestige of its origin, and all remembrance of its ancient glory. All these circumstances have conspired to give the Spanish insurrection a character which renders its success probable, and which interests in its behalf the whole world. The proclamations by which it was announced, and the efforts by which it is supported, display none of that caution and reserve which indicate uncertainty or fear. The undissembled feeling of the nation here discovers itself; it is this which dictates the reproaches and threats directed against Napoleon, which palliates nothing, which softens no expression of hatred or indignation. Here are no declarations of cabinet to cabinet, but the manifestos of a whole people against an individual; here is heard a formidable and imposing voice, a voice which is exerted in the maintenance of rights which are natural and unalienable, a voice to which the daring usurper of these rights cannot be insensible. Napoleon has never, until lately, been openly accused in the face of the world; he has never before heard a language so haughty and contemptuous; he has always been treated as a lawful sovereign, though in reality but a lawless and upstart tyrant, a robber, a perjured, the arch foe of all that is legal and just.
Whatever be the issue of the present contest in Spain, it must lead to important consequences. When a whole body politic is set in motion, its movements will be communicated to surrounding bodies. The nation that bravely rises in defence of its liberties, must inspire other oppressed nations with a disposition to support it in the struggle, or to avenge it if it fail. A. B.

Alexandria Daily Gazette. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. NEW YORK, Sept. 21
DEAR SIR, The brig Regulator, arrived here last evening in 16 days from Porto Rico. She brings letters to a gentleman of respectability, dated Porto Rico, Sept. 1, which state, 3 vessels arrived there from Cadiz, one in 25 days passage, bringing official accounts of a most bloody battle being fought near Madrid, in which the French lost 48,000 in killed, wounded and prisoners.
The battle was fought by general Cuesta and the English, who had formed a junction, and it is confidently believed that Madrid would immediately be evacuated by the French. Yours Respectfully.
SPAIN.—Letters are in town (via N. York) as late as Cadiz 22d July. We have seen one of this date which states that the French retreating armies, lay waste the harvest as they evacuate the provinces, and the advancing combined forces have to draw supplies from the coast. This will increase the demand for provisions in the Spanish ports. (Balt. Fed. Gazette.)
LONDON, August 4. Spanish papers to the 14th and Portuguese to the 19th ult. arrived this morning. The following are their contents:
"BADAJOZ, July 14. The English head-quarters are at Coera, and their advanced guard at Plasencia; Gen. Wellesley has promised that by the 10th inst. he will be in front of our army on the right bank of the Tagus. On the 5th the English arrived at Placentia, and on the
same day the French burnt the town of Calera, and afterwards retired to Talevera de la Reyna.
"On the 7th inst. the English were preparing to pass the Tietar."
"LISBON, July 17. Seville papers have been received to the 7th inst. which state, that Lieut. Gen. Venegas, made a report to the Central Junta, dated the 11th inst. informing the Junta of a glorious action which took place in the night between the 28th and 29th of last month, in which he routed five French regiments of foot, 2 of horse, 2 of chasseurs and one of Uhans, with the loss of 114 slain and many wounded, according to the report of the deserters."
[Lisbon Gazette, July 17. The ship picked up at sea by the Virago, and brought into Plymouth, from a letter found in a bottle on board, appears to be the Reliance transport, S. M. she carried troops from this country to Canada, and afterwards took in a cargo of timber at Quebec for England; soon after sailing she encountered a tremendous gale of wind off the coast of America, in which she lost all her masts, and bowsprit, her stern completely stove in, and the ship filled with water, and several of the crew washed overboard; on the 25th May the Aimwell, Conklin, fell in with her, took out the remainder of the crew, consisting of the mate, four seamen, and two passengers, and then abandoned her. She was fallen in with by the Virago, in lat. 25, long. 44.
WILEY BLOUNT, esq. is elected governor of the state of Tennessee—and not Mr. Cocke, as some time since stated.
Treaty with France.—The following is taken from a London paper of July 19. The report has probably arisen out of the circumstance of Mr. Armstrong (who was about returning to the U. S.) being induced to remain in France, from some proposition made to him by Mr. Hauterive.—Freeman's Journal.
Letters were yesterday received from Rotterdam till the 13th inst. One of them mentions that gen. Armstrong on the part of the government of the U. S. had arranged with the ministers at Paris a commercial treaty, the conditions of which were all agreed and determined; and it remained only for the ratification of the ruler of France and the American president. The letters adds, that one of the duplicates had been forwarded to Napoleon for his approbation and signature.
DIED, on Thursday evening last, in the 62d year of his age, Mr. ALEXANDER REIGNAGLE, one of the managers of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Theatres.
His talents as a musical composer were unrivalled in this country. His intrinsic goodness of heart, and the mildness and urbanity of his manners endeared him to his friends, by whom his loss will be sincerely regretted.

With pleasure I do return my sincere thanks to the above named ladies, and many others who have favored me with their certificates and custom in the purchase of Yarwood's Patent Washing Machine. I find them still in great demand in this place, but finding a very great scarcity of plank to answer the purpose of making them here, I shall in a few days or weeks commence making them to the southward. But will endeavor to supply others at a short notice after my return. I have a few now made on hand, which can be had if applied for soon.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE Y R W C O D'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
