IMPORTANT.
When those, whose solemn duty it becomes to protect the rights of their fellow citizens, whether from corruption or what- ever cause, violate that duty, and act an unfriendly, nay an unjust and hostile part, it may certainly be considered as an IM- PORTANT circumstance; one in which the public are deeply interested. Such con- duct in the agents of government gives a character to government, which must alarm every man, who has any thing at stake: any possession which he cannot defend and secure by the strength of his own arm.
The conduct of general Armstrong, our plenipotentiary at the court of St. Cloud, has excited considerable attention in Europe and America. By his conduct, not only the rights of individuals have been sacri- ficed, but the reputation of the nation, if it can still be considered vulnerable, has grievously suffered.
The powers vested in gen. Armstrong, as minister of this government in France, are generally known. The manner in which he has exercised those powers has been partially explained; but certain docu- ments which we have just received from France, and which will soon be received in various parts of the United States, will exhibit our minister in a point of view, by no means equivocal.
Before we copy these papers, it may not be amiss to give a sketch of the history of the New Jersey, her capture, condemna- tion and acquittal. The ship New Jersey, belonging to an opulent and respectable house in Philadelphia, that of Messrs. Nicklin & Griffith, both citizens of the U. States, was captured in the year 1798, on her passage from Canton to Philadelphia, by a French privateer and carried into St. Domingo and condemned. Messrs. Nick- lin and Griffith, in order to avoid the em-arrassments of an interruption of their voyage, deposited in the hands of the agent for the French government, the va- luation of the ship and cargo, which by mutual agreement, was to be disposed of according to the decision of the Council of Prizes in France.
The council of prizes determined in favor of Messrs. Nicklin and Griffith, and the case came before the American com- missioners, under the treaty of 1803, who awarded them the whole amount of their claim, upwards of 200 000 dollars, to be paid from the funds arising from the treaty for the cession of Louisiana. In this stage of the business, our minister, Mr. Arm- strong, interfered, and objected to the pay- ment of more than three elevenths of the sum allowed. His reasons for this inter- ference having been already published, need not here be repeated, as they are contained in the papers before us. The particulars of the case having reached America, the secretary of state, by order of the presi- dent, instructed Mr. Armstrong that the underwriters would be considered as stand- ing in the place of the original proprietors. A copy of these instructions were likewise forwarded to the agents of Messrs. Nicklin and Griffith, which circumstance not being known to Mr. Armstrong, he betrayed himself into a dilemma, which the pam- phlet we now copy will strikingly explain.
Ed. Rep.
The agents of the owners and insurers of the ship New Jersey, have been in- formed of the decision of the President of the United States, relative to the claims of the owners and insurers of said ship, and of the letter which he had caused his ex- cellency the secretary of state of the re- public to address, on this subject, to his excellency the American minister plenipo- tentiary.
They consequently expected from the minister, information as to what had been done, on the occasion; and requested it by two letters, the first of which obtained from the Secretary of Legation, by order of his Excellency, the answer quoted in the beginning of the second.
The reasons and the motives explained in this, relieved their hopes; but to the second letter, they have, as yet, received no answer.
They have therefore determined to cause a number of copies to be printed, to remind his excellency of the subject and to forward the same by various channels, to the U- nited States, where their employers will be compelled to pursue the course of justice due to their claims, if the minister of their country, persists in refusing it to them a- gainst the intentions of his government, and the information which he had received from the secretary of state, relative to those intentions.
The letter addressed to his excellency general Armstrong, in French and English, was as fol- lows:
His excellency general Armstrong, minister plenipotentiary of the United States.
Paris, 30th December, 1805.
SIR,
We, on the 19th ultimo, received from those concerned in the New Jersey, a letter directed to your excellency, which, they informed us, was from the secretary of state, and contained the president's directions relative to said claim.
Said letter we had the honor of enclosing to you on the 17th of said month, informing you that we were waiting such new communications as it was likely the letter would make necessary.
Instead of receiving the communications we expected, we were on the 16th of the said month honored with the following answer which you thought it proper to direct your secretary to make us:
Paris, November 19th, 1805.
"GENTLEMEN,
"I have the directions of the minister of the United States to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 17th, enclosing a letter from James Madison, esq. secretary of state of the United States. The minister does not think with you, that the contents of the letter aforesaid, must make further communications between you and him necessary. You appear to have been ill ad- vised with respect to these contents; they have in them neither wishes nor directions from the president of the United States, relative to the New Jersey—nor any thing more than an opinion on the construction of the treaty, which (were the case not determined) would not apply to the case you represent.
I am, gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
D. B. WARDEN,
Secretary to his excellency the minister of the United States.
Messrs. Dupont de Nemours and La Grange.
A duplicate of Mr. Madison's letter which we have received open (and which we think it useless to copy here, as you have received the primata) shows that Mr. Warden was mistaken when, by your direction, he informed us that "your excel- lency did not think with us, that the contents of the letter aforesaid must make further communications between us necessary, and that said letter contains nothing more than opinion on the con- struction of the treaty, which (were the case not terminated) would not apply to the claim we re- present."
We on the contrary find by Mr. Madison's let- ter, that the same contains "the sentiments of the president of the United States relative to the very case of the New Jersey; such an opinion, so- troly conformable to the rules of the matter in question, must, when considered as an official act, be looked upon as a rule by which American mi- nisters in foreign countries ought to be guided.
Those sentiments of the chief magistrate, and of a man too, whose abilities and virtues are so universally admired are, that "he considers the general principle on which the question turns, as supporting the claims of the American underwri- ters to the benefit of the convention, when they have paid the loss of the original owners, citizens of the United States."
This opinion, Sir, we take pointedly to apply to the case of the New Jersey, for which the secre- tary of state's letter was specially intended; and indeed, the opinion must obtain whether the whole or part only of the underwriter have paid the risk they have insured; for in case they have, they must, according to the rules of justice and to the president's opinion, recover what they had paid; and in case they have not, the insured have preferred their title to their property, to a full restitution of which, gen. Hedouville has pledged the French loyalty; a restitution which the coun- cil of prizes have directed, and which the Am- erican board have sanctioned.
We may now be permitted to inquire what your excellency's objections have been to the effecting of the full restitution alluded to. You have given it as your opinion that the underwri- ters had not an equal right with the insured to al- ter at any time your mind upon the subject, after writ- ing the 21st of January, that you transmitted to your declaration respecting the neutrality of the vessel & cargo, that "we might avail ourselves of it, in the further prosecution of our claims as agents of M. M. Nicklin and Griffith and the various insurance companies whom we represent- ed," you again resumed your former opinion, and in so unfortunate a manner, that the French government, whose only wish could be to fulfil- facied covenant, and to effect a restitution which the council of prizes had decreed and which was by the American board de- clared to be fully embraced by the convention, appear to have yielded to your opinion that eight elevenths of the claim ought to be rejected, ta- king at the same time a receipt, the consequence of which seems to be that you alone, or your go- vernment, become answerable for the deficiency.
We can see no motive for such an objection on your part, but your opinion aforesaid that the underwriters are not entitled to the same restitu- tion with the insured, a point respecting which you are now officially informed, by the Secretary of State, that the President thinks otherwise and that his sentiments are in favour of the underwri- ters.
It cannot be supposed that you will entertain any doubts about the New Jersey's owner's title as American citizens, since by your said letter of January 21st you informed us that "the policies of insurance and other documents which we had submitted to your inspection at different times, had entirely removed any doubts you might have had with respect to the fact that the ship New-
Jersey and her cargo were American property."
The misrepresentations that had been made on the subject, and the effect it had with you, were the more to be deprecated, as the whole of the owners are persons most advantageously known in America, the lady of one of whom (Mrs. Griffith) has the honor of being related to you.
(To be continued.)
FRENCH EXPOSE.
From the MONITEUR.
PARIS, April 18.
"England has declared war against Prus- sia. All the king's ships have received or- ders to attack the Prussian vessels, and let- ters of marque have been issued to priva- teers. Is this a just proceeding on the part of the English government? Is it a politic one? These are questions which it is not our intention to examine. It is sufficient for us to discover, that this mea- sure is advantageous to France, that one of its consequences will be to shut the north against the English trade; and there is lit- tle wisdom on the part of England, in act- ing so towards a considerable power, whom she forces into a nearer connexion with France; and whom she determines to re- move from her councils the agents and the influence of England. France and Prussia united can, if they please shut the sound. If England had learned how to accommo- date her policy to circumstance, she would have maintained her party and her crea- tures in credit in Berlin. She would have rendered the blockade of the ports of the north less severe, she would have, in fact, preserved the advantage which she derives from the Prussian flag; for commerce has occasion for intermediate agents between the merchant and the consumer. But, however it may be, we cannot consider this new political event but as tending to accelerate peace, for, assuredly, Prussia is neither a weak enemy for England, nor a weak ally for France. We know that there are persons who accustom themselves with difficulty to the idea of these connexions between France and Prussia, but they do not see the hesitation which was first mani- fested by the latter cabinet, depended upon temporary circumstances which have neither altered the principles of the king, nor those of his most faithful and intelligent servants. If there was any thing which gave offence to France, it could only be imputed to a frantic minister, who was sold to England, who was formerly in her service and who quitte it for reasons which the dignity of this paper will not allow us to mention. It perhaps may be supposed, that England in the new circumstances in which she finds herself with regard to Prussia, had no me- dium left her, and could not avoid declar- ing war. But the occupation of Hanover, by Prussia was the only means of prevent- ing the French from returning to that coun- try; and if they had returned, the freedom of the English trade would not have been the greater. It may be said that Prussia has not only shut the ports of the Elbe and the Weser, as they were by the French but that the occupation was made in the name of the king and in the same form as if he was determined to annex this fine province to his vast monarchy. However, there is nothing to prove that this was the intention of Prussia; and it is very possi- ble, that the occasion of Cleves, Anspach, and Neuschatel, may relate to some other principles of arrangement, since the popu- lation of all the three does not equal a 5th of the population of Hanover. Some dis- cussion, therefore might have taken place between Prussia and England; and the wisest course would have been, not to have begun by declaring war. Supposing oc- cupation to be equal to final incorpora- tion, England instead of avoiding that conse- quence, makes it more certain, for what- ever losses the Prussian trade may experi- ence during two or three years war, she will be indemnified by the more considera- ble loss which the trade of the enemy will sustain; and England submits to these losses for an interest which the English nati- on has always disowned. It has always considered Hanover as a foreign property, solely belonging to the house of Brunswick. How happens it that it has so suddenly changed its principles in this respect?
"It appears that M. Schimmelpennick, the grand pensionary of Holland, has en- tirely lost his sight. Who is to be his suc- cessor? What effect will be produced by this change in the magistracy? These ques- tions excite the attention and anxiety of all the Dutch, who are sincerely attached to the country. It is well known that the empe- ror never gave any positive sanction to the late changes in the constitution of that coun- try, and he said, on that occasion, that the prosperity and liberty of nations could only be assured by two modes of government; either a tempered and constitutional mo-
narchy, or a republic constituted according to the theory of liberty, and which should be the true organ of the public will. Nations cannot, with safety, leave to the people the choice of their representatives, and when a nation has to apprehend the ef- fects of assembling the people; when the advantages which it expects are less than the inconvenience which it foresees; such a nation, which cannot find a protection under a republican form of government, has recourse to the principles of a good and prudent monarch. Under the present constitution of Holland, the grand pension- ary has more power than the king has in England—he has even more than the empe- ror has in France, or any other sovereign has in any country; and, what is without example in a republic, their high mighti- nesses, or the representative and legisla- tive bodies, have been nominated by the grand pensionary. The defect of this constitu- tion cannot escape the observation of the sagacious. That cannot be called a repub- lic, where the representative and legisla- tive bodies are not nominated by the elect- ors; and if there be any fear of the elect- ors, it will be best to renounce at once the republican form of government. A go- vernment, which neither having the advan- tages of a republic, nor of a monarchy, combines all the inconveniences of both, should not be absolutely prescribed. Such being the situation of Holland, she must be a gainer by any changes that she may make in her constitution. If the landholders, the merchants, the enlightened men, are of opinion that they can have a representa- tion made by the choice of the people with- out distinction of classes or religion, they will create a system much more proper than the present one. If that be not their opinion, and that they think it necessary to have recourse to a constitutional monarchy, they will do that which will be more advan- tageous to their country than the preserva- tion of their existing constitution can be. It is their duty to examine their situation, to judge of the circumstances in which they are placed, and to choose between the two systems that which is best suited to them and the most likely to establish, on a sound foundation, the public prosperity and liber- ty.
"Bavaria has taken possession of the margraviate of Anspach, and has ceded to France the duchy of Berg, which, united with that of Cleves, gives us an advan- tageous point of contact with Holland; and France, for the future, will only find on the right bank of the Rhine, princes who are allied by blood to the imperial family.
"General Oudinot has taken possession of the countries of Neufchatel and Valen- gin. He found those countries loaded with English merchandise, heaped there by the merchants of Switzerland, and principally by those of Basle. Of these the French army has taken to the amount of many millions: all the banks of the lakes of Neuf- chatel were covered with French manufac- tures. This circumstance justifies all the prohibitory measures which may be taken with regard to Switzerland. That country is little more, at this moment, than a ware- house for English goods. When it shall be cleared of these manufactures, we shall perhaps have the means of giving a new check to our enemy. Is it possible that the landammann was not struck with the danger to which he exposed the country? Who will protect Basle from a visit from the French army? Does this magistrate, who sees smuggling carried on by wholesale un- der his eyes, suppose that he is not respon- sible? If the French consider these depots of prohibited goods so publicly made, and to such great extent, a real act of hostility —if the French government multiplies prohibitory laws between Switzerland, France and Italy, will not the landammann be the cause of it? And will not all the complaints that the Swiss may make be unjustly and ill founded?
"Dalmatia is occupied by the French army. It is separated from the mouth of the Cattaro by the republic of Ragusa; the country is mountainous, and the roads are bad. The French troops have arrived at Ragusa, when the fort of Castel Nuovo was delivered to 300 Russians by general Brady, who commanded 2000 Austrians. This general, whose ancestors were Eng- lish, has been wanting in respect to France, and has betrayed his master. Upon receiv- ing this information, marshal Berthier gave orders that Brannau, which defends the frontier of the Inn, and which was to have been given up on the 1st of April, should not be restored, and that it should be again garri- soned. The division of the grand army, which was on its way to France, has halted. The prisoners of war that were to have been sent back to Germany, have been detain- ed, until further orders, in the places in which they were.

This outrage offered by Russia... Austrian flag and arms, is the more... receivable, because the Russians are... to draw their provisions from the... Trieste and Fiume, a free commun... with which has never been prohib... The court of Vienna has ordered th... Brady be arrested and tried!!... expressed its dissatisfaction to Rus... will cause Castel Nuovo, and the... of the Cattaro, to be delivered... France, without having occasion to reply... by arms, to this act of hostility.
The Russians have evacuated Hano... ver, and returned home. The army which... the emperor Alexander commanded has... also returned to Russia. After all the... losses which it sustained it is very natural... that it should repair them by recruiting. A... part of the troops which were at Corfu... have returned to the Bosphorus with gen... Lacy. A considerable part of those that... were in Poland are marching towards... Choczim and the Crimea. The illusion... with respect to the Russian armies, is no... more. The French army which, in two... months, dissipated the third coalition, was... then only on the peace establishment: at... the end of the three months which have... since elapsed, it finds itself on the war... establishment. It had nothing to fear from... all the force of Europe, but no person... will be able to form a fourth coalition... England knows full well that it would be... money thrown away. She reflects with... terror, that the first coalition, which lasted... five years, made France mistress of Hol... land, Belgium, the Rhine, and all the... Cisalpine country: that the second coali... tion, which lasted two years, gave to... France Piedmont and Switzerland: that... the third, which only lasted three months... gave her Venice, Naples, and Genoa: that... the least she could expect from a fourth... coalition would be Trieste and Fiume, and... the eternal exclusion of the English from... all the ports of Europe. Russia, recovered... from the vain illusion by which she was... deceived, well knows what thirty millions... of people, scattered over an immense ter... ritory, and under the necessity of oppress... ing the Persians, Turks, and Tartars, can do... against 4000000 Frenchmen united on... the same platform, brave, active, and in... telligent, and more capable of conquering... Russia than the Russians are of conquer... ing France.
English, Russian and Sardinian en... voys, and a knot of malcontents from all... the countries in the world, had fixed on... Rome as the centre of their machinations... The emperor required that they should be... driven from thence; and that a sovereign... placed in his empire, should do nothing... contrary to the safety of the armies of Na... ples and Italy. The first care of an army... should always be, not to allow itself to be... surrounded either by spies or those who... encourage desertion. This demand gave... rise to many consistories, when the per... sons who were the objects of it did justice... to themselves, and all evacuated Rome.
The kingdom of Naples is entirely... conquered. The French troops are at... Reggio, at Otranto, and at Taranto. Only... a small body of the Neapolitan troops... could embark and reach Sicily. That... island is defended by 4,500 English. The... presence of such enemies is an additional... inducement for the French to go there... Gaeta, an insignificant fortress, with a... garrison of 1600 men, is besieged.
The victory at Austerlitz has produced... as much sensation at Constantinople as at... Paris. The exultation there was sincere... and universal. The government of the... Porte is neither ignorant nor sold.

NEW YORK, May 30. Capt. Holmes, of the ship Eunice from Surri... nam, informs us that on the 10th of May, in lat. 18, long. 61, he was boarded by a boat from three French 74 gun ships, and a frigate full of men. They were under British colours and said they were left from Jamaica. They did not permit him to proceed until they had robbed him of a considerable quantity of small stores.

MONDAY, JUNE 2.
Captain Wadsworth, arrived at New York from Curacoa, informs us that gen. Miranda left Aruba (where he had been 12 days) on the 15th of April for Bonaiva. His force consisted of the Leander, and two schooners from Jaquemel, one of which was taken on the Spanish coast after an obstinate engagement in which the cap... tain and several of her crew were killed. This intelligence was received at Curacoa on the day captain Wadsworth sailed, by a dispatch boat from Porto Cavello.
A gentleman who arrived at Boston on Saturday from the Cape of Good Hope, observes, "that the consul of the United States (John Elmslie, Esq.) who had re... mained in Capetown, unaccredited for se... veral years by the Dutch, was publicly an... nounced and received by the British com... mander in chief, as soon as the colonial government was reinstated. This circum... stance, with many other evidences of friendship, renders it a duty to say, that in all the numerous applications which the Americans have made to sir David Baird, on a variety of business, since he has ac... ted as governor of the colony, the most prompt attention, and gentlemanlike de... portment, have always marked his conduct to the applicants; and a commercial inter... course between the United States and the Cape of Good Hope, which will be reci... procally advantageous, may with confidence be expected, while such a man as sir David Baird administers the concerns of its go... vernment."
Captain Brown from La Vera Cruz, informs us that a shock of an earthquake, which threw down a church and killed several hundred people, was felt there about the middle of April, at the distance of ninety miles from the city. La Ve... ra Cruz and the adjacent ports were well fortified and strongly garrisoned, and no apprehensions were entertained of an attack from any quar... ter.

COMMUNICATION.
The attachment of our democrats to the French government appears to increase with every new success. Duane, and every other jac bin, re... joices at the prospect of its having "universal dominion;" and in their eyes the government of the United States, with its present chief, suffers on a comparison with the power and dazzling triumphs of a French emperor.
It is the nature of violent democracy to be capricious and changeable; and the man in an eminent station, who will condescend to court and flatter the multitude whom he ought to com... mand, is sure of being despised by them in the end.

CHERBOURG, 1st May, 1806. To the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser. "SIR.—We have the pleasure of advis... ing you that, in consequence of the solici... tations of our house, and some friends, the government has just now given to this port the privilege of entreposing all permitted foreign goods in the private stores of the merchants, so that the duties thereon need not be paid before they are sold. This favor has been granted on the simple con... dition of renouncing the re-exporting, which is now the only difference existing between this port and the other regular en... trepots of France.

Runaway Negro JACK.
Ran -away from the subscriber, living in Pomonkey Neck, Charles county, Maryland, on the 15th of last June, a Negro man, named JACK, about 50 years of age, and about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, lusty and well made, his voice in common loud, and bold in his looks and manner. I don't know any thing that would make a stranger suspect Jack's elopement sooner than that of calling himself a Baptist , and fond of argument.
JACK came from Guinea when he was about 12 or 13 years of age. There is a scar on the back of one of his hands occasioned by a burn or seald while an infant, it must be discovered by strict notice; each of his shins are flame-colored about 4 or 5 inches in length and better than one inch broad in different places.
Whoever brings said Jack home, or secures him in jail that I get him again, shall receive Twenty Dollars for the first 20 miles, Thirty Dollars for 30 miles, or Forty Dollars for 50 miles, and One Shilling for each mile after, and reasonable charges paid by
RICHARD BRANDT.

RAN AWAY from the subscriber this day, after having feloniously carried off, on the night of the 20th inst. a large trunk and chest of wearing apparel and other articles (which have since been recovered) a Mulatto servant slave, named MOSES, who calls himself Moses Gaines .

He had on when he went off, a green cloth short coat with fellow metal buttons, a white striped Marceilles vest, olive colored corduroy breeches, white cotton stockings, and shoes; all his other clothes have been secured, but he may change those he wore away. He is however pretty generally known to be my slave, having lived in my service and travelled about with me for the last sixteen years. I will pay the above reward to any person who will bring him home or secure him in any jail so that I get him again.

The clothes he wore when he went off were, a white kersey jacket and trousers, also a brown cloth jacket—He was raised in Loudoun county near the mouth of Sugar Land Run, where it is more than probable he has been lurking for some time, as he was seen in that neighborhood about three weeks past. Any person that will apprehend the said fellow and deliver him to me, in Hanover county, about 32 miles above Richmond, shall receive the above reward, or Ten Dollars to secure him in jail so that I get him again.

Published at Baltimore every Saturday, at Three Dollars per annum, payable half yearly in advance.
THE editor will be happy to receive communications which lead to the exercise of the minds of those who have had a cultivated education, and might tend to the mutual improvement of the writers and the readers. In this country so rapidly advancing in every object of improvement, there must be much cause for animadversion; occasions must frequently present for directing the course to be pursued.... To these objects he is very desirous of attracting attention. Biography of the humbler heroes of the revolutionary war, might be also very interesting. Events of this nature, not on public record, would be highly acceptable. Phenomena in natural history, will also be attended to with peculiar pleasure.
** The three first numbers have been received and may be seen at this office.
Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW . He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Gaus, at Port Tobacco.
