WILLIAM PENDLETON, Esq. Berkeley County, Virginia, July 31, 1807.
WASHINGTON CITY, August 9. FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Arrived at Washington City on Wednesday, the U. S. schooner Enterprise , captain Porter, in 35 days from the Mediterranean. Capt. P. left the frigate Constitution and Hornet at Syracuse.—He states the information of a rupture between the Barbary Powers and Great Britain to be unfounded. Capt. Porter likewise furnishes the following intelligence:—
Some time in May a deputation was sent by the Bey governing Rosetta, to the commander in chief of the British forces at Alexandria, inviting him to come with his troops and take possession of the place; and stating that on his appearing before Rosetta, the keys of the city should be delivered him. The British commander, pleased with the proposal, marched next day with 3000 men for Rosetta; and, agreeably to the promise of the Bey, received the keys, marched into the public square, and was about allotting quarters to the different officers, and making arrangements for guards, &c. when, at that moment, the tops of the houses were covered with Turkish troops, who commenced a heavy fire on them, and killed great numbers of the British. The British commander seeing his men fall in every direction about him, without a possibility (from their crowded situation, and from the secure position of the Turks) of defending themselves, ordered a retreat. They fought their way to the city, passed thro' a tremendous fire, but found them in possession of the enemy, with whom they had a severe struggle before they could gain possession of them—they at length succeeded in getting out, where they found a body of 4 or 5000 horse ready to attack them. They then formed a hollow square, fought their way down to Alexandria, and of the 3000 men, 1500 were killed, among whom were two general officers. The Turks shewed them no quarters, and as they were unable to bring off their wounded, they all fell a sacrifice to Turkish fury. The bodies of the two general officers were, however, brought off and sent to Malta to be interred.
Admiral Louis died about the middle of June at Malta.
About the 15th of June a great battle took place in the province of Constantine, between the forces of the Dey of Algiers and the Bey of Tunis, which was said to terminate in favor of the former; in consequence of which there was great rejoicing at Algiers. The war between those two powers appears to be carried on with great vigor; and the Portuguese squadron formerly stationed at Gibraltar have proceeded off Algiers (as is supposed) to co-operate with the latter. Sidi Soliman Melli Melli was at Gibraltar when we left there, and had purchased military stores, which he had sent to Tunis.
The whole of the coast of Barbary is declared by the Russians to be in a state of blockade, and a number of small Russian privateers are on that coast.
A communication was made in June, by the Marquis de Circello, prime minister to his majesty the king of Sicily, to Mr. Gibbs, American consul at Palermo, announcing to him that his majesty had declared every part of his dominions then in possession of his enemies, in a state of blockade.
It is said an attempt will be made on Naples by his Sicilian majesty shortly, as there are but few French troops now in that city, and as his party there still remains strong, notwithstanding the rigid means that have been used by the present government there to reduce their number.
On the 16th of May, about 40 sail of Sicilian transports sailed under convoy from Messina for Palermo, for the purpose of taking in troops.
The British and Sicilian troops possess a small part of Calabria Ulterior. The rest is occupied by the French troops.
About the 1st of May, a regiment composed of people from the Levant, raised for the purpose of defending the island of Malta, demanded their discharge from the British service, in consequence of the

consequence of their having heard that hostilities had commenced between their sovereign the Grand Seignor, and Great Britain; and as the governor of Malta did not think proper to grant their request, they became very disorderly, in consequence of which one of the officers of the regiment went among them to endeavor, by fair means, to quell the disturbance; but not succeeding, he resorted to blows. They immediately seized him, hacked him to pieces with their sabres, tore his heart yet palpitating, from his body, and bore it into the streets. The British and Maltese troops of the island immediately assembled, but the mutineers having had time to seize their arms, retreated to the castle of St. Elmore, of which they took possession, and received the demand for their discharge, and ships to transport them to the Ottoman empire; and threatened, in case of a refusal, to fire into the town, which threat they shortly put into execution, as the governor still remained firm.
The different batteries were then turned on the fortress, and the cannonading and bombing continued for about 48 hours, without intermission, when the besieged demanded water, and threatened to set fire to the magazine, unless they were furnished with a supply; this was refused them, in consequence of which a number surrendered, but the most daring remained by the fortress, firmly determined to put their throats to execution. They accordingly laid a train, to which they set fire, and in a moment blew the fortress and a number of the besiegers and besieged into the air. Six of the mutineers, who were most distant from the magazine made their escape through the line of troops which surrounded St. Elmore, and retreated to the interior of the island, where they wandered several days, hunted from haunt to haunt, until exhausted by hunger, and the numerous wounds they had received from the different parties out in search of them; they were at length taken and shortly afterwards hung, in presence of the rest of the regiment, who were taught to believe that a similar fate awaited them.
FROM THE VIRGINIA GAZETTE. TRIAL OF COLONEL A. BURR.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 7.
The Court met at 12. Judge Griffin took his seat along with the Chief Justice. Colonel Burr was present this day as also all his Counsel.
Mr. Hay called over the names of several of the witnesses who before had not been present, and we understood requested their attendance at his office in order to ascertain the nature of their testimony.
Mr. Hay then proposed postponing the trial until Monday, when he thought he would have it in his power to proceed, as he supposed by that time those witnesses whose testimony was of the greatest importance would then be present.
Major Scott rose and addressed the Court nearly as follows:
"May it please the Court, it will be recollected that an order was made for the establishment of a guard for colonel Burr."
Mr. Martin. If the gentleman is speaking with respect to any business relative to colonel Burr I wish he would elevate his voice that we may hear him.
Major Scott. I say, may it please the Court, that when the Court made an order for the establishment of a guard to colonel Burr, they neglected to specify how this guard was to be paid; now please your honor, I have been paying for this guard out of my own pocket, my own private funds, at the rate of seven dollars per day. In this way I have expended seventy dollars; and I have been assured that the secretary of the Treasury has declared he will not pay a cent, it being contrary to law and as there is a public jail in the state for the reception of Colonel Burr. Rather, therefore, than be subject to the same tax in future of seventy dollars per day, I would rather, please your honor, sit down with the loss of the seventy dollars I have already expended, than pay any more out of my pocket. I hope therefore the court will adopt some method to relieve me from this tax.
Mr. Wickham in reply recalled to the memory of the Court the proceedings formerly took place on this subject. The Court, he said, had made an order for colonel Burr's being confined in some place of security, under a guard, which might be convenient for himself and his counsel; that this order he thought was sufficient authority for the Marshal to act under, and that he could not conceive that the Secretary of the Treasury would
have to pay the guard. At all events the Secretary could only commence an action against the Marshal in this Court for the delinquency incurred by paying for this guard, and that the court would certainly support the justice of the Marshal's claim, it being founded upon an order made by the court.
Mr. Martin. I do not understand from what the Marshal has said that he has received any orders to the contrary from Mr. Gallatin. He has not told us of any such orders, but only that he himself has deemed it illegal, that he has heard some rumor or report of the Secretary of the Treasury declaring he would not pay colonel Burr's guard.
Marshal. You are mistaken Sir, you have misunderstood me. I have it from the most respectable authority that the Secretary of the Treasury will not pay the account.
Mr. Wickham. I hope the court will not consider the saying of any subordinate Executive officer, as sufficient authority for Major Scott to refuse paying the guard. It is impossible that Major Scott can be a loser in this cause! It is not the intention of colonel Burr that he should. The application which Major Scott has made to the Court is certainly a proper one, and I hope the Court will satisfy him with regard to it.
Mr. Botta said that nothing but honor, integrity, and virtue, were connected with the honorable the Secretary of the Treasury; that it was impossible a man of his acknowledged regard for justice and honor, could entertain an idea of not paying colonel Burr's guard. That Major Scott must be misinformed. He for his own part knowing the honor and strict integrity of the Secretary of the Treasury, would never believe it. It was an absurdity to suppose that a gentleman of the noble and expanded mind of Mr. Gallatin, would hesitate about paying a few dollars to the account of a prosecution by which already the country had incurred some hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Major Scott replied he had no doubt of the honor and integrity of Mr. Gallatin, but he also had no doubt that Mr. Gallatin had expressly declared he should not pay a cent for the guarding of col. Burr, and for his own part he would much rather lose the seventy dollars he had already expended than run the risk of losing more by paying seven dollars a day without a certainty of its being refunded.
Colonel Burr said it was with regret he perceived that the Marshal was to make this motion. He had several days ago instructed his counsel to inform the Marshal that if his account was refused by the Secretary of the Treasury that he himself should pay it. That the Marshal could not therefore be a loser, for he supposed he had at all times public money in his hands, and presenting the account for the guard would only be an experiment, which if refused by Mr. Gallatin, the Marshal would be paid by him.
Major Scott wished to have some written document or security for the seven dollars a day which he mentioned he would be obliged to pay out of his pocket.
The Court were of opinion that the order which had been made for the establishment of the guard was sufficient authority for the Marshal to act upon. That they had not power to compel the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the Marshal, but if Mr. Gallatin refused to pay the Marshal they supposed the promise of indemnity which Col. Burr had made would be sufficient.
Mr. Wickham also pledged himself to Major Scott that he should not lose his seven dollars a day.
Colonel Burr before the Court adjourned wished that the public attorney would specify some day for the commencement of the trial, that five days had already elapsed since the day which had been appointed by the Attorney for his trial, and it was again postponed until Monday.
Mr. Hay replied that he could not pledge himself to the Court in stronger terms than he had that the trial would commence on Monday. He was fully confident he should then be ready, but yet he did not choose to enter into any engagement that the trial would then go on.
Colonel Burr said he should come on Monday in expectation and prepared for his trial, and he hoped that before the Court was again adjourned that the Attorney would show proper cause for the postponement.
Mr. Hay replied that from present appearances nothing would occur that should prevent the commencement; that although forty or even fifty of the witnesses were absent, that the trial
would proceed. Mr. Martin said that still the public attorney would have forty or fifty more than the indictment had been founded upon.
MONDAY, 10th AUGUST, 1807.
This day the Court met at twelve and was unusually crowded. Several additional witnesses were present both on the part of the prosecution and who were summoned by Colonel Burr. Among the latter we distinguished Judge Todd, John Brown, Esq. Hubert Taylor, Esq. and Colonel James Taylor, all from the State of Kentucky.
Col. Burr, owing to some important papers which he had forgotten after he first set out from his apartments, did not come into Court until near one.
Mr. George Hay called over the names of several witnesses who had not been before recognized.
Mr. Wirt moved that Dr. Wardlaw on account of his intention of attending Mrs. Wardlaw in a sea voyage to New-York for the benefit of her health, should be discharged, which was agreed to.
Mr. M'Rae made a similar motion for Mr. Randolph Harrison, which was founded on a certificate from a Physician stating his bad state of health, which was granted.
Col. Burr requested the names of the following witnesses to be called over as being essential during the empannelling of the Jury. David Briggs, Richard Adams, John Heath, Temple Gwathmey, Thomas Tinsley, James Scott, jun. Allen M'Rea, Neil M'Coul, James Clark, jun. Jeremiah Leeds.
A discussion of some length took place relative to the question which should be put to those persons who had been summoned on the panel. Mr. Hay quoted the case of James Thompson Callender, the Court having agreed in his trial on a definite and precise question being put to each person on the panel if challenged whether or no he had made up his mind as to the guilt of the prisoner.
Mr. Martin contended, that as every person chosen as a jurymen, should have his mind free from every bias, it would be necessary to interrogate him fully on the subject, which could not be done by simply asking a single question. The case of James Thompson Callender he said, was materially different from the present. The guilt of the former, merely depended on the fact of publication, whether or not Callender was the publisher.
The Court were of opinion, that each person on the panel, ought to be interrogated fully as to the impression which they had received with regard to the guilt of Col. Burr.
The names of the jurors from Wood County, were first called over, and all of them rejected except Hezekiah Bucky, and Yates S. Conwell, who were laid over until the Court decided on their qualifications. A certificate was read from Doctor Upshaw, stating that James Henderson was confined with a bilious fever. The jurors from Wood County, were rejected on account of having frequently declared opinions expressive of Col. Burr's guilt. Bucky and Conwell, not having expressed themselves in such definite terms as the others, were laid over.
The names of the Petit Jurors were next called over, but of the thirty six only, four were elected; 1st Richard B. Parker, 2d. David Lambert, 3d. Hugh Mercer, 4th. Edward Carrington.
Peyton Randolph was discharged on his own application, on account of his professional avocations.
George W. Smith made a similar motion, but the Court postponed the consideration of his case, until Tuesday.
Joshua Chaffin was laid aside on account of sickness.—Randolph Harrison and David Bullock, were absent for the same cause.—William M'Daniel was also absent.
Richard B. Parker said, that he had formed impressions rather unfavorable to Col. Burr, but never had expressed any opinions as to his guilt.
David Lambert said, that he never had formed any opinion as to the intention or guilt of Col. Burr.
Hugh Mercer upon being called, said, "it was his duty to state, that an opinion which he had for some time past entertained of the character of Col. Burr, was unfriendly to a strictly impartial enquiry into his case; that he was entirely uninformed as to the testimony which would be introduced, and that he did not recollect to have ever expressed a positive opinion, either as to his guilt or innocence."
Edward Carrington confessed his having formed impressions rather unfavorable to Col. Burr, from the several publications he had read, but that he had de-
clared no opinion of his guilt, nor was he animated by prejudice towards him.
All the others excepting seven had formed and declared opinions expressive of the guilt of Colonel Burr, and that in their opinions he deserved and merited to be hung, several however had expressed their opinions in fuller terms than others.
Jarvis Stotts declared having in multifarious conversations expressed his conviction that Col. Burr was guilty of Treason and that he merited death.
Miles Selden confessed having made similar declarations, and that once in company with Col. Mayo he should have expressed himself that Col. Burr's plan was a federal project, that all the Federalists deserved to be hung and Col. Burr along with them.
William B. Chamberlaine regretted that he had frequently, not having any supposition that he was to be summoned, expressed himself in very inconsiderate and imprudent language respecting Col. Burr, particularly that he once said if he were a jurymen he should lull a sleep during the trial and commit Col. Burr after he had awaked.
William Hoomes had also declared himself in the most violent terms against Col. Burr, as likewise Overton Anderson.

DIVISION ORDERS.
FOURTH DIVISION—August 1, 1807.
You are called on by your governor to stand forth in defence of your country!
Need I exhort citizen soldiers to the prompt performance of this first of duties! I persuade myself your feelings, supersede the necessity of my interposition. You have heard of the outrage committed on our nation by a captain of the British navy off our Cape. You have understood that this outrage was accompanied by the violation of all those principles which uphold civilization—The rights of hospitality were invaded; the confidence in established amity violated; and in one moment of war was ushered by a prepared foe in the garb of a friend—We were wounded—we were killed; our flag struck and four of our seamen forcibly taken from on board one of our frigates—The annals of the world since the days of Barbarism, present not a like example of hypocrisy and insolence on the one part, and of abused confidence on the other.
The ostensible cause of this daring outrage was, the recovery of four sailors, said to be deserters from a British ship of war, charged with mutiny, and captured on board our frigate. Had these sailors been bona fide British subjects, or American citizens who had enlisted in the British service, and who were withheld after demand made in a proper manner, and to the proper officer, even this unwarrantable conduct on our part does not, cannot justify the outrageous mode of reparation resorted to. But we learn from the highest authority that three of these men were native Americans—This fact adds to the atrocity of the crime committed against our dignity and name. Native Americans rarely enlist in foreign service—Had this been the case now, it would have been ascertained and acknowledged by government.—We must therefore presume that these unfortunate citizens were impressed on board British ships of war and their righteous abhorrence of such service has been wrongfully called desertion.—Should this well grounded presumption prove to be true, where and how do we stand as a nation? Can human wit devise, or human power perpetrate an act more hostile or more pointed against our sovereignty and our honor? Submission to it is the lowest notch in the scale of national degradation. Suspension of our just wrath in hope of reparation, however warranted by policy, and urged by humanity puts character in doubt. Peace with all its sweets may be too dearly purchased. It is always so when character is forgotten. It is our duty, as it will be our pride, to wait with patience till our government shall take its last decision. This must depend on the answer from the king of the British.—Should justice guided by wisdom, dictate that answer, then may the blessings of peace be continued by both nations.—If, as there is much reason to expect, the vile outrage practiced upon us, in the hour of profound peace, should be maintained, the last appeal cannot be deferred. High heaven delights in right.—Let us by our valor prove ourselves worthy of defending that cause, to which it is

immutable ways declare its preference. We shall thus prove ourselves worthy the lofty inheritance achieved by the wisdom and courage of our fathers. We shall manifest to the world that the bright example of our dear and great Washington, and his sage maxims, have sunk deep into our hearts; and we shall present to our unjust for a front of bayonets in the hands of freemen, estimating peace with honor, as the highest national good, and estimating peace with dishonor as the deepest national curse.
To the young men of the division placed under his direction by the laws of our country, their general addresses himself with earnestness, because he was once young like them, and then experienced the honorable toils and perils of war. The season of youth is the season for battle—War is upon us, and you are young—Advance, stop the cold and erring allotment by draft—Present yourselves to your officers, volunteers, in obedience to the will of congress—You do the greatest good to your country; you do the greatest ill to your enemy; and you prove yourselves fitted for the important epoch, to meet which nature destined you. As well your part, and during life you will receive the cheering approbation of all around you; and when no more, you will be hailed by grateful posterity as the true sons of your gallant fathers.
The detachment required to be furnished from the fourth division is specified in the annexed detail. The brigadier generals are requested to give their best efforts to encourage the volunteer levy, and to report progress from time to time—Failing they, will proceed to make the draft as directed in general orders.
Lieutenant col. Smith will give directions to the officers of cavalry in all matters requisite for their due organization, and make report thereof to the major gen. In like manner major Taylor, commandant of artillery, will order and report—The latter will be duly forwarded to lieut. col. Fleming, commander of the regiment. The surgeons cannot perform a more acceptable duty, nor give a more amiable proof of their zeal, than by vaccinating the troops as soon as they are enrolled. The facility with which this operation may be performed induces the hope that it will be duly executed.
The major general's solicitude to carry into effect the general orders in the most complete and satisfactory manner, has induced him to direct his aide-de-camp to visit whenever necessary, the brigadiers and commanders of cavalry and artillery for the purpose of receiving and communicating such occurrences as may in any degree be interesting to the promotion of the service. He relies with great confidence on the zealous co-operation of his officers of every grade, and flatters himself that their united exertions will readily produce not only the full force demanded, but of the sort so anxiously desired by his excellency the governor.
Major Turner is appointed aide-de-camp, vice Custis, removed out of the state, and he is to be respected accordingly.
HENRY LEE, Major General 4th Division Virg. Militia.
As the appearance of a rupture with G. Britain on account of the late attack on the Chesapeake, has put every person on the alert to find where she is most vulnerable, we have here given a statement of her population in Canada, hoping it may be acceptable to a number of our readers.
Great Britain claims all the country inhabited by Europeans lying north and east of the U. States, except Greenland, which belongs to Denmark. The following are the population of the British province: Upper Canada 20,000; Lower Canada 130,000, that is Kingston, Detroit, Niagara, Quebec, Montreal: Cape Breton Island 1000: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, 35,000: Towns, Sidney, Louisburgh, Fredericton, Halifax, St. John's Island 5000: Charlotte Town, New foundland 7000: Piacencia, St. John's and New Britain, not known.

His Excellency the Governor of the state of Maryland.
Sir, I am directed by the President of the United States to urge on the governors of the respective states, the importance of encouraging, by all means they possess, such volunteer associations as are contemplated and authorized by the act of Congress passed the 24th February last, & when organized to be received as a part of the quota of militia recently required to be held in readiness at the shortest notice.
The present situation of our country calls loudly for the patriotic exertions of its citizens, in the prompt adoption of such measures as will most effectually enable us to meet the result of a late event, which appears to menace its peace; under such circumstances it must be presumed, that with due encouragement, the whole number of volunteers contemplated by the above mentioned act, may be induced to tender their services to their country; and your excellency will readily perceive the importance of such a body of men, at the actual commencement of war, whose tour of service will afford ample time for raising and organizing a regular force for taking the field, in place of such of them as may not be inclined to become a part of the regular army.
As it must be highly probable, that such volunteer corps will be composed of our most active, intelligent, patriotic, and spirited young citizens; they will undoubtedly, in the event of war, stand on high ground as candidates for officers in the regular army, whenever such an army shall be considered necessary. And from the well known military ardor which pervades all parts of our country, there can be no doubt of the readiness of a sufficient number of our spirited citizens to offer their services to their country at the present time.
I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Your excellency's obed't Serv't, (Signed) H. DEARBORN.
MARTINSBURG, August 21.
From the Washington Federalist. The editor of the Washington Federalist is requested to publish the following, with a request that it may be published throughout the union.
IN HUMANITY!
At Georgetown, District of Columbia, Madame Turreau, the wife of the French ambassador, has been for many months, and now is, in the utmost distress and misery; where she had been on a bed of straw, still relieved by one lent to her. She is left in this destitute manner, without a cent, and with two of General Turreau's small children—a girl about 7 or 8 years old, and a boy, not two years old. I enquired if any misconduct of hers reduced her to this miserable situation; but heard that her character was without a blemish, and her conduct in this country has been so marked by prudence, that she may defy the tongue of calumny! From the splendid style of the ambassador of the powerful government of France, he cannot want the means of supplying his lady with luxuries, instead of leaving her to starve—and yet she starves! To tell all that she has suffered, would narrow up the heart of the most callous—Suffice it, at present, to say, the WIFE of the French ambassador and grand member of the legion of honor, with his two children, starves at the seat of government of the United States!!!
HUMANITY.
Citizens of America—read the above. Nothing more is necessary to excite your horror—nothing more necessary to excite your sympathy.
Every person that feels for a stranger who cannot speak our language—a mother in distress, with two children in a foreign land, and without a single relative to whom succour she may fly, will naturally wish to render some aid. In addressing the Americans, I know I ad-
dress a humane and generous people.—A trifle from each affluent family, would rescue from misery one who has a grateful heart, and who weeps less at the brutality that has brought her so low in misery, than over the remembrance of that touching kindness she has experienced from those whose benevolent hearts have been open to her at all times, and whose exertions in her favor are only limited by want of ability.
She knows nothing of this address to my country, and let us show she is not among Barbarians.
Let those who feel for her distress, deposit for her whatever trifle they can spare in the bank nearest to them, and each cashier will be so good as to transmit the same, occasionally, to the cashier of the bank of Columbia, on the cashier of the office of discount and deposit, Washington. These are gentlemen of humanity, and I know will act honorably, though they, as well as Madame Turreau, remain ignorant of his address.
A CHRISTIAN.
THE MORALIST.
The cautious traveller, who is a stranger to the way, will inquire which of the many roads before him, leads to the place of his destination. He will walk with careful steps through the different and untried places he has to go over. His care and vigilance will be increased as these are multiplied.
Happy would it be for us, if, in the journey of life, we used the same precaution! Happy, indeed, if to great prudence in our common affairs, we added the utmost deliberation and circumspection in all our moral actions.
For want of this, how many times are we obliged to "go back sorrowing" over the ground we have cautiouly trodden! And frequently cannot, with all our repentance, repair the loss and injury our imprudence has brought upon us—How much easier to prevent by care, than to remedy by repentance the false steps of hurry and inattention.
We are moral agents, destined to pass a life of change and trial here, and soon, very soon, to land on the firm and immutable ground of an eternal existence. The happiness of every part of life depends much on our conduct in the preceding period—in the same manner the condition of the future on the general tenet.
FOR THE INTELLIGENCER.
The following is the conclusion of the 4th Prophetic Sermon, from the 4th of July last, delivered in the Episcopal Church, Martinsburg, and now offered entire, for the perusal of the Public.
"The rage of war, (says an English writer,) this horrible propensity has kept us involved in hostilities (too frequently wanton and aggressive, and still more so unnecessary and absurd) for nearly two-thirds of the last fifty years; and added, in that period, six hundred millions to our national debt, and carried off by violent or untimely death above two millions of our fellow-countrymen. A series of "wars and fightings" that has set the seal to the destruction of our old national Character, and introduced such a total and general want of common humane feeling amongst us, as to render with all classes, and both sexes, the perusal of Gazettes announcing the slaughter of thousands, and ruin of tens of thousands, the most agreeable intellectual recreation. Familiarized to accounts of blood, to tales of sorrow and desolation, we become in love with horror; and dwell with pleasure on the miseries of mankind. Our notions of DEITY are changed with our other associations; and fasts and thanksgivings for victory are resorted to with as much confidence in their propitiatory and conciliating influence, as if the Christian God were a being like unto murderous Mars of classical mythology, the blood-thirsty moloch of Canaanitish abomination, or the sanguinary tyrant who presided over the horrid system of mexican superstition.
"An unchristian spirit of national pride, and an unreasonable thirst after the commerce of the globe, (a fancied political advantage seeming with every moral curse) assist that propensity to war which is now the effect of habit, and whilst they render us "extreme to mark what is done amiss" by others, conveniently blind our own eyes to any deviation in ourselves from the obligations of good faith and strict national integrity. The din of battle has greater charms for us than the small still voice of God speaking in the Gospel of his son; and the shout of victory stops our Ears to
the wailings of the widow; the cry of the orphan; the complaint of the mechanic; the appeals of the asking tradesman; and the unavailing remonstrances of the peasant, who is torn from his languishing ruined family, to drop in his turn from the ranks which have already been thinned by pestilence or slaughter; or to suffer a more fatal moral death by the destruction of all his habits of simplicity and virtue. Thou wilt scatter the people that delight in war."
"From whence come wars and fightings among you! Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? War we shall have; to chastise our national depravity, and national ingratitude; war we shall have to humble the pride and subdue the tyranny of the avaricious foe; and thereby, be a means in the hand of our God, of accomplishing the last prophecy, that, "The Kingdoms of this world are to become the Kingdoms of our Lord, and his Christ; and HE is to reign for ever and ever."

THE subscriber some time since gave his note for 39 dollars to Frederick Roads, for a horse, but it appearing that the said Roads had given a bill of sale for the said horse previously to my purchasing him, I do therefore caution all persons from taking an assignment on said note, as I am determined not to pay it unless compelled by law.

TO KEES BRANSON.
IN the last and this weeks Intelligencer, I you have the proper to advertise me as a runaway; and, judging from the reward offered, &c. it would appear you wished to stigmatize my character. My only inducement to make a reply to you is to show the public that I have forfeited my claim to reputation, which is dear to me, and all that I have to depend upon; and your attempt to rob me of it, is cruel and highly reprehensible—I hold it to be a principle from which no person ought to depart, to fulfil all his engagements, so long as he sees a correspondent disposition in the other contracting person, and, I think, when you divert yourself of passion you will do me the justice to say, that I have fulfilled every thing on my part as a faithful and obedient apprentice, until the period I left your service; and believe me, I should have continued with you for the full term of my apprenticeship, if there had been a probability of my becoming master of your profession by doing so, but of this there was no hope, because one of the banehes of the trade (a very important one too) was not pursued by you, and the other part of your business so neglected, that I was left at home more than half my time without an instructor, and was besides very frequently without materials to work with—from these considerations I have been induced to leave you, and from your own indifference about your business I suppose you cared but little about my remaining with you—but sir, this is I think no justification for your advertising me in the manner you have done; If you were fearful that you would be compelled to pay my freedom at any future day, there was a more advisable path to pursue, for you knew I was willing to absolve you from all engagements on that score. I have stated nothing but facts, and such facts as on the broad basis of Honor and Honesty will justify my conduct—And I do not believe it will be in your power to prevent me from pursuing an honest profession with whom I please, or to sully my reputation.
