Extract of a letter from governor Claiborne, to the Sec'y of War, dated N. Orleans, April 20th 1804.
"In conformity with my advice Jos. Chambers, United States' factor for the Choctaw nation, has shipped a quantity of peltry for Philadelphia, via New Orleans. On the passage of the peltry down the Mobile river, a duty was demanded by the Spanish officers at the town of Mobile, and which Mr. Chambers paid, not however without entering a protest against the proceeding, a copy of which I now enclose you.
Some provisions sent by the contractor from this city to fort Stoddart, were also detained at Mobile till a duty of twelve per cent. was paid thereon, duties are also exacted on all exports passing down the Mobile, and paid very reluctantly by our citizens.
The Spaniards are fortifying Pensacola, and the town of Mobile; at the former place there is to be stationed five or six hundred men, and at the latter a battalion of artillery and a company of dragoons are now employed."
Copy of a protest of Joseph Chambers, U. S. factor
Whereas, by the order of the proper officers of the government of the U.S. of America, 60 bales, three hogsheads, and one barrel of peltries & furs, the property of said government collected at the governmental trading house established by authority for the friendly accommodation of the Choctaw nation of Indians, was directed to be transported from said trading house, in the county of Washington, Mississippi Territory, by descending the Tombigbee or Mobile river, and from thence to the city of Philadelphia, in the Atlantic part of the United States, via New Orleans. The said cargo of peltries and furs being on its passage aforesaid, at the mouth of said river, at the port of Mobile the officers of his most catholic majesty, the king of Spain, did at that post demand a duty of 12 per centum upon their estimated value of said cargo, to be paid for the use of his majesty, and it was then made known and properly certified to the said officers that the said peltries and furs were the property of the government of the U. States, and was there on its passage from one part thereof to another; notwithstanding which the said officers did, on the 13th April, 1804, detain and stop the said cargo at the said port of Mobile, and did then and there refuse to permit it to proceed on its passage until the said duty of twelve per centum, amounting to one hundred and eighty two dollars and 68 cents, was paid.
Now the undersigned agent to the U. S. having paid the aforesaid sum of one hundred and eighty two dollars and 68 cents, not admitting the right of his most catholic majesty's officers to exact or impose the aforesaid duty in manner and form aforesaid, cannot suffer a proceeding, so unaccommodating and apparently unjust, to pass with tacit acquiescence, and in compliance with his official obligations, he enters this his solemn remonstrance and protest.
Because the exaction of a duty upon the property of a government passing upon navigable waters, which are the common highway of nature, from one part of its territories to another, although this passage might intersect the territory of a different government, is a violation of right which ought not to be questioned by nations friendly to each other.
Because his most Catholic majesty has manifested a disposition friendly, liberal and just towards the government of the United States, and the chief magistrates of each nation have mutually cultivated peace, harmony and good will between their respective citizens and subjects. It is therefore supposed that this proceeding is without his majesty's orders or his knowledge, and that it has probably emanated from the same source from which the unauthorised act of shutting the port of New Orleans against the United States' right of deposit, in the year 1802, proceeded. That the proceedings aforesaid may be duly made known to his most Catholic majesty the king of Spain, and to the president of the U. States of America, and thereby become the subject of proper investigation, this remonstrance and protest is made, and delivered to col. Maximilian Maisant, commandant political and military at Mobile.
Done at Mobile this 13th April, 1804.

Copy of a letter from Joseph Chambers, United States factor, to the secretary of war, dated Choctaw trading house, Hobakintopa,
DECEMBER 12, 1804.
SIR,
Enclosed herewith is a copy of a letter from Michael Aclava, collector of the customs at the port of Mobile to me, and my reply thereto, his letter and the vessels with the goods I met at fort Stoddart on my way to Mobile.
I have earnestly to solicit that you will direct me how to proceed in the particular business to which these letters relate; also, to give instructions for my government, generally in my intercourse with the Spanish officers at Mobile, for your instructions would relieve me from much anxiety, occasioned by my fears, that, by acting from my own discretion, I may commit errors or do things that might not meet your approbation; increased hindrances and obstacles are given by the Spanish officers at Mobile, to this House, although justice demands that I should state that Michael Aclava the collector, has been very civil and respectful in the execution of what he states to be the duties of his office and the orders of his superior officers.
There will be a considerable quantity of peltry and furr to remit the ensuing spring, from this house: if a duty is to be allowed to the Spaniards upon its passage by Mobile, I must be furnished with the means to meet it. I however flatter myself that we will in a very short time have the free and unfettered navigation of the Mobile river.
I have the honor to be, sir, With perfect respect and attachment, Your most obedient servant, Signed, JOSEPH CHAMBERS.
GENL. DEARBORN, Secretary of War.
Copy of a letter from Michael Aclava to Joseph Chambers, dated,
MOBILE, Nov. 20, 1804.
SIR,
From what Mr. Smith gave me to understand, I have expected since Sunday last to have seen you here; the weather now is favourable and I do not wish to detain the vessel. Mr. Smith has bound himself to me to pay the duties on his goods at the end of the year, if governor Folch does not free them. In the full assurance that I have to do with a man of honor, and that you will acquiesce to the above conditions; and if not convenient for you to come down yourself, you can make out an obligation (in the manner Mr. Smith has done) for what goods belong to you, and send it me as soon as possible, for as a public officer, I must always have documents to show.
I am with consideration and esteem, Your most obedient servant, Signed, MICHAEL ACLAVA.
Copy of a letter from Joseph Chambers to Michael Aclava, collector of the customs at Mobile, dated
FORT STODDART, Nov. 27, 1804.
SIR,
I had the honor to receive your letter of the 20th cur. yesterday. It should have been known that I did, at Mobile, in April last, protest against the right to exact duties from the United States, for its property passing by water, from one of its ports to another, altho' in such passage it might intersect the territory of another government; therefore there was no ground of assurance or even probable expectation that I would consent to, or acquiesce in the decision of gov. Folch, only, on this question; further it will be recollected by the commandant, capt. Osorno, col. Maxent and Mr. Simpson, that I did at that time refuse to sign a bond for duties (but the necessity of the case only induced me to pay the duties then demanded) consequently a bond could or ought not to be expected from me in this instance, to authorise the passage of public goods, for the Indian trading house, and the Indian presents; and more especially, when we take into view the 5th art. of the Treaty of San Lorenzo el Real, of the 27th Oct. 1795, between the United States and the king of Spain, and which the stoppage of these goods, might perhaps have tended to counteract.
Here I quoted the article, vide Treaty, art. V.
The United States have suffered Spanish subjects for their own private account and interest, to furnish the Indians within their limits with merchandise, without tax or hindrance.
The Spanish government by its officers at Mobile, have levied and demanded oppressive taxes on the property of the United States, which property or merchandise was expressly intended by the American government, for the humane and benevolent purposes of cultivating peace, friendship and good will between the Indians within their limits, and the white people; and also to promote the civilization & happiness, of these Indians.
Under the foregoing circumstances, no bond could or will be given by me, without express orders from the government under which I have the honor to act. No great public accommodation (for it is the government only that is interested) is received by the permission of these goods to pass, after some of them had been detained one month or thereabouts, without any notice being given for what cause; and knowing, as I presume was known and well understood, that they were the property of the United States, and consequently, they must have been permitted to pass as their property only, without any relation to my individual honor or interest, and upon the governmental responsibility.
I feel confident that the American government will cause justice to be done towards you as an officer, for the friendly accommodation intended them by the forwardments of the vessels.
I shall send a copy of your letter and of this to the proper officers of government, also inform them of the respectful manner in which you have exercised the duties of your office, in your concerns with me.
I am, &c.
Signed, JOSEPH CHAMBERS.
Extracts of letters from gen. James Wilkinson, to the Secretary of War.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 27, 1803.
"Our troops are not yet in quarters, but continue to occupy the redoubts which surround the town, under their tents, which has occasioned great discontent, and produced much sickness; nor have we been able to get possession of a single storehouse or magazine, for the reception of our tools, implements, stores, baggage and provisions. I am now working on a partition of the barracks, to separate our troops from those of Spain, and hope I shall be able to get our men under cover to-morrow; but I am reduced to the painful necessity, after waiting thus long, to hire stores for the reception of our provisions, hospital stores, ammunition, arms and other articles, which expence should, in my judgment, be charged to the French Republic, and therefore a separate account will be kept of it, and all other expences which may accrue in consequence of the incomplete execution of the treaty."
NEW ORLEANS, March 23, 1804.
"It pains me still to be obliged to write you from this place, but the causes which have prevented my departure still exist. The prefect of France and the Spanish troops are still in town, and magazines and store houses still in their possession, while we are obliged to pay rent for our own accommodation. My patience is nearly exhausted, and I shall not be detained many days longer unless something very unexpected should occur to make it my duty."
We have appearances of the prefect's intention soon to depart, though they are contradicted by other circumstances. As to the marquis de Casa Calvo and the Spanish officers generally, they indicate no intention whatever of moving.
Gov. Folch sailed 3 days since for Pensacola, but he was not accompanied by any troops. It is now said they will follow him in a few days: yet I suspect the marquis de Casa Calvo will keep a detachment here for his accommodation. You have under cover a list of guards which the Spaniards mounted in this city yesterday, but you must not believe this singular spectacle is permitted by my consent."

"The satisfaction to inform you that at 300 Spanish troops embarked for Pensacola on the 2d inst. but I am informed that 12 or 15 officers and between 60 and 100 men will continue in this city. They have delivered up the barracks but occupy the hospital and several detached buildings."
The prefect made his conge to our commissioners on the 12th inst. but is still town exercising his prefectorial and commissarial functions, yet I looked for his embarkation."
The arrival of our ordnance stores from fort Adams commenced a few days since, but we have, as yet, neither stores nor magazines for their reception, these being still occupied by the French and Spanish governments."

Stutgard, October 22.
We have received accounts from Bavaria, which state, that the army of marshal Bernadotte, composed of his own corps of the army, and those of the marshal D'Aoust, of the Bavarian generals Wrede and Deroy, has arrived in three columns on the banks of the Inn. The Austrians had not time to defeat the right bank of this river, on which, in the preceding years, they had established very formidable entrenchments. The French vanguard consisting of a corps of cavalry under general Kellerman (the son) advanced against Braunau, where the first Russian column had joined the Austrian corps of Kienmeyer. It is said the Austro-Russians are already falling back to Lintz. Another column of the French and Bavarian troops is on its march towards Salzburg; it will meet no obstruction in Salza. The headquarters of marshal Bernadotte have been removed from Wasserbourg, on the Inn, where they had been established for some days past.
Auspach, October 9.
On the 7th inst. the Bavarian army advanced from Schwalkich to Spalt & Aabenbergh. They made considerable requisitions of cattle, bread, beer, forage, &c. under threats of military execution! At Spalt, where no flour or grain had been left on hand, gen. Wrede commanded the Bailiwick to deliver the grain which he required, from the royal granary of Prussia; and when protestations were made against this proceeding, he sent a detachment to open it by force.
Lower Elbe, October 15.
The Russians and Prussians will immediately occupy Hanover, in conjunction. The report of a declaration of war, by Prussia, is premature. The relations of this potentate with France, will probably depend on the answer of the emperor Napoleon to the last Prussian note delivered by baron Hardenberg to generals Duroc and Laforest, respecting the march of the troops through the territory of Anspach.
Passau, on the Inn, Oct. 16.
The Russian army, to the amount of about 50,000 men, besides that of general Kienmeyer 20,000 strong, is on the Inn. Yesterday they received a part of their artillery, and to-morrow the remainder is expected. About the 20th, these troops will be enabled to act, and to pass the Inn; the first column has been over it, but merely to cover the retreat of general Kienmeyer. It being asserted, that the French are

marching hitherwards, it has been found advisable to break down some of the bridges.
At 8 o'clock this evening, two I. R. officers of the general staff, with twenty-four light horsemen of Orelli's arrived here and desired to speak to the electoral city commissary Mr. Leng. One hour after he went accompanied by the two officers to the fortress of Oberhaus, which was surrendered to the Russian troops. As they met with a refusal, we expected here to-day a visit from the enemy, but hitherto we see no more than twenty-two Austrian light-horsemen, guarding the bridge over the Danube. To the neighbouring town of Scheerding are about 2000 Russians, who have made pretty strong requisitions. Last night a strong cannonade was heard from the neighborhood of Eggenfeldt.
Lauenburg, October 29.
Last evening at dusk a Russian regiment of infantry, upwards of 2000 men strong marched into this city; all fine muscular young men. This regiment arrived only the day before yesterday morning from Mecklenburg at Ralzeburg at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, marched yesterday morning immediately again from Ralzeburg and performed a long march of 30 miles in one day; and for all that the troops appeared so little fatigued, that every one who observed the sprightliness wherewith they marched in, would have supposed they came from the next village. The body of officers consists entirely of fine, handsome, very well behaved young men. The regiment is under command of general Werdersky.
Stralsund, Oct. 19.
His Royal Swedish majesty is expected here the day after tomorrow. As he is arrived, all the Russians as well as Swedes, and even a part of the German garrison here will begin their march.
The English ambassador at Stockholm, Mr. Pierrepont, accompanies his Swedish majesty to Pomerania.
Among the Swedish troops which are expected here, is likewise the regiment of general Wachmeister 1,200 strong.
München, Oct. 16.
Our this day's paper gives a general order of Marshal Bernadotte, of the 13th of October, wherein it is said that part of the 5th regiment of chasseurs, and a division of the company of guards had on the 12th instant, made 1400 men prisoners, taken 160 horses, 2 cannon and 50 baggage waggons. On the day before yesterday the Electoral Major Elbracht of the Lelingen light horse attacked an Austrian train of artillery, on the road to Wassenburg, and after a smart engagement dispersed the escort and took 17 cannon, 380 stand of arms, 114 swords and 3 waggons, which arrived here last night. Several Austrians were killed or taken prisoners—he lost only two men. Yesterday a spy was shot here before the city.
Verona, Oct. 18.
Marshal Massena having learnt the success of the French in Germany made arrangements for passing the Etach.
The Archduke Charles has reinforced his troops on the Tagliamento, by part of those lately in the Venetian territory. The Austrians retired from Lintiano the 14th. The Archduke has ordered a general conscription.
Two divisions of Marshal Massena's troops have crossed the Etach, and taken 700 prisoners and four pieces of cannon.
Berlin, Oct. 19.
His Serene highness, the reigning Duke of Brunswick, set out from hence for Brunswick, from whence he is going to Hildesheim, to take upon himself the command of the army of Lower Saxony.
October 29.
Our political system has undergone a complete alteration within a few days. The King has given leave to the Russians to pass through any part of his dominions; and the armies which were assembled to prevent them, will now be sent upon a different destination. Four armies are assembling in Franconia, Hildesheim (near Hanover) on the Rhine, and in Brandenburg. They are to be commanded by Prince Hohenlohe, the Duke of Brunswick, the Elector of Hesse, and Gen. Mollendorf.
October 22.
Our Minister of State Von Hardenberg, has presented a note to Marshal Duroc, and the French Ambassador Laforest, which has occasioned the march of the French troops through the dominion of Anspach. As the ambassadors of Russia, Austria and England, sent immediate alterations to their respective courts, it is supposed that these nations have likewise been occasioned by said note.
October 26.
His Majesty the emperor of Russia arrived here yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, on a visit to our Royal Court. The major general and first aid de camp of the King, van Kornitz, had been sent to meet him as far as Frankfurt on the Oder. He was received in this city by the joyful acclamations of an immense concourse of people.

After the capitulation of general Werneck, near Nordlingen, Prince Ferdinand with about 1000 horse, fled into the Prussian territory, for Nuremberg. Prince Murat followed him and overtook his rear near Nuremberg; when all the rest of the park of artillery, baggage, &c. were taken, Murat and his troops particularly those belonging to the Imperial guard covered themselves with glory. 1500 waggons, 50 pieces of cannon and 16,000 have been taken of the columns which fled from Ulm.
The division of Württemberg is at Geislingen. The Baden troops (3500) are on their march to Augsburg. The Emperor has presented the Bavarians 20,000 Austrian muskets; and the Elector of Württemberg six pieces Austrian cannon.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3.
From the New York Gazette.
It would appear that the Spanish marine has had a spirit and activity infused into it, which certainly, of late years, seemed nearly extinct. In the late action with the immortal Nelson, they appear to have sustained no inconsiderable share of its severity and loss. Whether their apparent bravery has been excited by the influence of their long and close connection with the French officers and seamen, must be left to the consideration of those who have observed their joint and separate operations. It is however certain, to whatsoever cause it may be owing, that an unusual spirit and activity pervade their marine departments.
From a letter not long since received from a very intelligent American resident in Havanna, it would seem, that this activity is extending to their colonies. He remarks, as follows.
"Our new General of Marines (the Chief Admiral) Villavecencia, whom you knew here as Gravina's second Admiral in 1802, is one of the most active officers ever here before. He sends all the coasters under convoy of the Gun Boats, when the wind serves, although the British frigates are in sight of the Moro; and when told by the officers that it will be dangerous to go out, answers, that their guns were put on board for defence and that they must take care to give all the protection to the vessels under their convoy, for which their vessels were built and appointed! He rises very early and is at the arsenal (navy yard) by 5—frequently before the officers and men are collected. He goes about the harbor in a plain Gingham coat and pantaloon and round hat, in order not to be particularly known or observed; and thus frequently throws the people under him into great confusion. He does not permit the navy and marine officers to remain on shore unless indisposed. He also visits the marine coffee-houses, and gambling houses every day, in a plain dress, to ascertain whether any of the invalid officers are to be found there; and it is said he has absolutely cleared those places of them.
He is a small dark complexioned man, of 50 years of age; and, from his activity, will soon work a very considerable and favorable change in the maritime department. It was under his direction the armament was fitted out from hence to Pensacola."
* How usefully might similar vessels be employed to check the piracies committed out of the different ports of Cuba, upon unarmed neutrals, bound to these very ports with provisions and merchandise, upon which the government, and islanders chiefly, if not entirely depend for their subsistence and comfort!

KINGSTON, October 26.
The Success frigate, captain Scott, arrived on Friday last week from a cruise, brought in with her the American schooner Hiram, John Fusson, master. This vessel sailed from New York on the 27th of August, and was bound to St. John's, Porto Rico, freighted with flour, fish, beef, pork, &c. but by a stress of weather and a strong current was driven out of her course, and about the 24th September made the island of Samana in St. Domingo. Every endeavor for her to beat to windward for her desired port, having proved fruitless from a strong lee current and heavy squalls, the master saw no other remedy, being short of wood and water, but to bear up for St. Jago de Cuba, when on the 28th September she was boarded by a French privateer schooner, called the Bellona, Captain Blaize, who made prize of her, under pretence that she was bound to Cape Francois, although the Hiram was at that time at the distance of 12 leagues from the land, and on the 29th of the same month carried her into the port of Le Grange, in St. Domingo, taking away all the vessel's papers, with a considerable proportion of the cargo, and on the 30th they sailed from that port for Barracoa, under the command of a French prize master, and six or seven French seamen. On the 3d inst. while in sight of Cuba, steering direct for Barracoa, they observed two sail to the eastward, which the Frenchmen said they were certain were English vessels of war, they therefore took to the Hiram's boats, and after plundering, abandoned her, without leaving a soul on board except the master, when about eight
o'clock she was taken possession of by the Success frigate, the Reindeer brig being in company.
November 2.
On the 5th ult. in lat. 35, 12, long. 74, the schooner Betsy fell in with the wreck of the schooner Providence of Alexandria, water-logged, with a part of her foremast standing. Captain Blunt visited her, but did not find any person on board.
By captain Thomas Ives, late of the Montezuma re-captured American Guinea ship, who arrived here on Wednesday from St. Jago, we are informed that the ship John, Gorton, from Norfolk with a cargo of staves, &c. for this port, was carried into that place about 15 days ago by a Guadalupe privateer, under the command of one Dupuis; her papers had been sent to that island and little doubt was entertained for her condemnation.
L'Hercule, of 74 guns, captain B. Dacres, from a cruise, and the American ship Sarah, from Cuba, bound to New Orleans, detained by the Morne Fortune brig, arrived the same day.
The brig Mehitable, Nowell, from New York, arrived at Savanna-la-Mar the 28th ult.
