MR. SELFRIDGE'S CASE.
It is with peculiar pleasure that we extract from the Port Folio the following well written and spirited article upon a subject which has become deeply interesting to every man who feels the necessity of preserving a government of laws.—There is nothing in which the profligate nature of democracy is more conspicuously seen than in the practice, which has become universal among the disorganizers, of anticipating the decisions of our courts of justice, by condemning, and even executing, unheard, every accused person whose ruin can be supposed in any way to promote the success of their wicked designs. We have more than once deemed it our duty to protest against the denunciations against col. Burr, which at present fill the democratick papers; not for the sake of the man: we feel no sympathy for him or for any other disorganizing democrat; but for the sake of ourselves, the security of our rights, and the maintenance of order. Unless our courts can be persuaded to lay a heavy hand upon this growing licentiousness, the very fountains of justice will soon be so corrupted that a decree of the Aurora or an acclamation of a town meeting will be paramount to the decisions of our highest judicial authorities.
U. S. Gazette.
FROM THE PORT FOLIO.
Hitherto we have preserved a profound silence on this subject; for we deemed it highly improper, pendente lite , either to examine the law relative to homicide, or to relate the circumstances which attended the catastrophe. It is, however, by no means so unarrantable to state exculpatory circumstances, pending a prosecution, as it is those which tend to criminate. In the former case, we do but concur with the presumption of law, which supposes every man innocent, until he is convicted of guilt; in the latter case we violate a principle, essential to the existence of civil liberty, by pre-occupying the public mind with anticipated guilt, we inevitably preclude the accused from the possibility of a fair trial, and defeat the benignant provisions of the common and statute laws of the country. The democratick papers unanimously pursued a course opposite to that which we adopted as the rule of our conduct. They exerted all their malignant influence, from the first moment of Mr. Selfridge's confinement, till his final deliverance; to profane the altar, to prostitute the temple, and to poison the fountains of justice. Mr. Selfridge neither replied to his enemies, nor appealed to the justice nor compassion of his friends. No federal paper in the union ever attempted to excite popular prejudice against any individual who had surrendered himself to the law, and whose life was to be put in issue at the bar of his country. No federal paper ever pursued an individual after a fair and honorable acquittal, by a miscellaneous panel. Mr. Selfridge did not challenge a single political adversary on the jury. Nothing can more strongly evince the proud confidence which he felt in his own innocence. We do not hesitate to declare, in the most unqualified manner, that the life of no gentleman in our country, since the revolution, has been put in more imminent peril by extrajudicial means.—Never before has the liberty of the press been employed to invade the jurisdiction of the courts of justice; and the federalists have discovered the most torpid apathy at this violation of all principle and with it, all security. The torrent roared; but they did not hearken. They regarded it, as the murmurs of a distant waterfall, reckless of desolating consequences which must follow from non-resistance.—If a man who has committed a supposed crime, be abandoned by the laws to jacobinck cannibals; if democracy unbolt her kennels, and set her blood hounds upon the chase; if a judge, who dares expound the law, be torn from the seat of authority, or degraded in it; if witnesses and juries be stigmatized with perjury for having done their duty; if counsel for the accused must encounter all the scoffings, and insults, and revilings, of the scullion crew, and the demonic rabble, we may indeed exclaim—“Farewell, a long farewell to all our greatness!” Must we bow down in a sorrowful accordance to these miserable measures, “or by opposing, end them?” Are we to teach our children to cherish and revere the lofty sentiments of ancient liberty; or must the rising generation be taught to venerate the genuine Robespierian democracy, as the legitimate legacy of their fathers? Notwithstanding we had determined to make no comments pending the prosecution, yet, since the acquittal, we have felt loosed from that restraint. Still we did not immediately enter upon the subject, apprehending the possibility of misconceiving some principle, or misstating some fact. The report of the trial, and Mr. Selfridge's own defence, are both in the hands of the public, and we shall now essay a brief compendium of the whole transaction.
Mr. Selfridge was applied to, professionally, by a publican, to institute a suit against Mr. Austin and two other persons, who composed a democratic committee of arrangements, and who furnished a dinner upon Col. Hill on the 4th of July; the committee not being willing to pay the inkeeper the sum which he demanded. The conduct of Mr. Selfridge on this occasion was highly creditable to himself. Although he was offered the demand by the publican for less than its moiety; by which he would have gained a hundred pounds more, he absolutely declined to purchase it, alleging, “that every honest man set his face against such practices,” and advised the inkeeper to settle the demand himself, or to submit it to reference. After much more delay than professional gentlemen usually give, a suit was commenced: soon after which a settlement took place. The malicious federalists
became acquainted with the facts, and were so enraged as to laugh at and despise the contemptible meanness of the committee. Mr. Austin was undoubtedly galled at these epithets, and at the upper table of the board ; and as he had long been in the habit of reviling the gentlemen of the bar, he had nothing to do but to add a new line to his catalogue. He declared to a Mr. Babcock, one of his own party, “that Selfridge had solicited the suit” and he used similar expressions of the “federal lawyer” who filed the writ; and declared it had not been for such disgraceful interference, no difficulty would have arisen. These declarations having come to the knowledge of Mr. Selfridge, he called on Austin, who gave him no satisfaction. The next day he sent Austin a polite note by a friend, requesting him to have the goodness to do him the justice to enter his protest against the falsehood, which he had circulated relative to his professional conduct in the cause above alluded to. Although Austin acknowledged that he had propagated the story, he refused to retract it. After much shuffling and many prevarications by Mr. Austin, Mr. Selfridge wrote him a second note, couched in very caustic terms, and which would have probably terminated in an affair of honour, had not the latter part of Mr. Austin's colour consisted in discretion.—One of the two alternatives was peremptorily demanded by Mr. Selfridge. Either that he should acknowledge in writing, the falsehood he had propagated; or give up the name of his author. These reasonable and pacific terms were refused; and the calumny was still circulating to the great detriment of Selfridge. After the lapse of two or three days, Mr. Selfridge posted Austin in the Boston Gazette, as “a liar, a coward, and a scoundrel,” alleging in his note his reasons for so doing. On the same day, Austin instigated his son, a vigorous, athletic young man, about nineteen years of age, to beat Selfridge on the publick exchange. Stimulated with brandy, and armed with a club, he sallied out to meet, as he supposed, his unarmed adversary . The moment he saw Selfridge, without giving any notice, he ran upon him with an uplifted bludgeon, with a degree of violence, which denoted an intention of depriving Selfridge of the power of resistance by the force of his first blow. The weapon was a nine ounce hickory cane, selected that morning for the purpose. The first blow across Selfridge's head, was so powerful as to break through a “stiff fur hat,” and inflicted a wound so severe, that his surgeon declared “it might have been attended with fatal consequences.” The assistant was repeating his blows, when Mr. Selfridge with all possible dexterity took a pistol from his side pocket, and by discharging it put a period to the existence of his opponent. Whether the pistol was fired before, or after the first blow, we consider perfectly immaterial. By the strictest legal principles, no man is bound passively to receive a blow which may endanger his person; and we most decidedly hold, that disgrace is to be avoided, at every hazard . Mr. Selfridge immediately and voluntarily surrendered himself into the hands of Justice; he submitted to his fate with manliness; and he surmounted his difficulties with honour. The laws of his country, not from any failure of testimony; not from any lack of asperity in his prosecutor; not from any predominance of party spirit; but from the immutable principles of justice, have pronounced him innocent, and have justified the deed. In the recitude of this decision, after a careful inspection of the report of the trial, we heartily accord. And it is our unalterable opinion, that the blood of an imprudent son lies at the door of a wicked father.
We again enter our solemn protest against all discussions, tending to prejudice the publick against any prisoner, who is to be tried for any capital or subornate offence; and also against persecuting a man by newspapers or mobs, after he has been honourably acquitted by a jury. This is indeed assailing the very citadel of liberty . We hope that upon this great principle of security the Federal editors will take a decided stand.
The Editor of the Port Folio is solicitous to recall the attention of the public to a similar system of tyranny, exercised towards him prior to his taking his trial in the year 1802, for a libel against democracy. Long before the presentment was made or a bill found against him, men, in general, and the state's attorney in particular, were, in a prostitute paper published in this city, goaded to the commencement of legal hostilities . The event of that ridiculous warfare is notorious. The Editor gained a most signal victory over the malignant foe, whose impotent efforts he now remembers with no other emotions than those of compassion and contempt. But the attempt on the part of a foreign renegado, to prejudice a public and to dictate a court, was so absurd as well as atrocious, that it never could have been dreamed of, much less hazarded, under any honest, virtuous, or staple policy. A proceeding so romantically wild, and so unblushingly flagitious, was received as a sort of new farce, to be exhibited with mountain dexterity, among shirking scenes of a commonwealth.

By our mail we received Paris papers from our correspondent at Bordeaux on the 14th March, they contain only (worth notice) a few political speculations which we shall notice in our next. We received also from our correspondent at Barbados, papers of that island to the 11th of last month, from none of which we copy the circumstantial, though not official account of the capture of MONTE VIDEO by the British troops of General Ackmuly. Rio Grande, from whence the Troy (the brig by which the account was brought,) came, is a river in the province of Paraguay, about 250 miles north of the northern promontory of the Rio de la Plata, and about the same distance from Monte Video. Buenos Ayres, has in all probability, been retaken before this time.
We received a communication from a Debtor in the Jail of this place, which for reasons, that we think must have been obvious to the writer, we shall not insert in his own language. But we can readily perceive that some of his reflections are very just, and demand the attention of the magistrates, to whom exclusively belongs the regulations of the Jails.—Humanity and duty call on the magistrates to inspect the condition of the prisons frequently, and to see that the unfortunate persons who are confined in them, do not suffer more than the law intended.
The Debtors apartment, we are told, is greatly too small for the number of persons confined in it; insomuch as to endanger their lives in the approaching warm season. It is very evident that a jail that was only sufficiently large for this place, when the present one was built, must be now greatly too small, the town having more than doubled its population since the present jail was constructed.
CAPTAIN LEET, of the Schooner Sailor , in 48 hours from New York, has favoured us with papers of that City of Friday, from which we extract another account of the capture of Monte Video.
COLONEL BURR arrived at Philadelphia on Sunday the 3d inst.
Extract of a letter from Barbados, dated 11th April.
"Besides the news which the papers contain, we have nothing, except the report of a French squadron being momentarily expected at Martinique with a reinforcement of troops for that island and Guadalupe. We have one 98, and four 74's, besides frigates, so that we have nothing to fear."
CITY OF NEW-YORK ELECTIONS.
The following is the result of those elections, in which, though we are not disappointed, we are somewhat chagrined.
American Ticket. Repub (Clintonian) Ticket.
Table with 4 columns: Name, Votes, Name, Votes. Includes names like Rufus King, M. Clarkson, Egbert Benson, John Townsend, Richard Varick, Andrew Morris, Abraham Russell, J. O. Hoffman, Wm. Henderson, Samuel Jones, Morgan Lewis, Thomas Storm.
FOR GOVERNOR. Samuel Jones, 1787 | De Witt Clinton, 1600. Morgan Lewis, 1807 | D. D. Tompkins, 1670. FOR LIEUT. GOVERNOR. Thomas Storm, 1778 | John Broome, 1672.
The difference in qualification of the voters, accounts for the different results. For the assembly universal suffrage has given the Clintonians a majority. The freehold vote is in favour of the American or Federal, and Lewisite Tickets.
[From the New York Gazette of the 7th inst.]
ACCOUNT OF THE CAPTURE OF MONTE VIDEO. Capt. Russell, in the ship Favourite , arrived at Providence in 55 days from St. Salvador, (Brazils) informs, that on the 14th December last an English squadron of 21 sail arrived at Rio de Janeiro, among which were the Ardent of 60 guns, commodore Donelly; the Unicorn frigate, and a sloop of war, the rest transports. The troops on board were commanded by gen. Ackmuly, an American by birth, and gen. Lumley; the first was authorised to act as governor of the district of Monte Video, should it be under the dominion of the English. The number of troops was reported to be 6000, but from a variety of circumstances it is probable they did not exceed 3000. Great dispatch was used in watering, and the squadron sailed for the River Plate on the 23d of December. The ardour of the troops was highly excited at the cruelties perpetrated by the Spaniards on the English prisoners at the recapture of Buenos Ayres, and a spirit appeared to be universal among them for taking ample revenge. The Favourite sailed from St. Salvador on the 5th of March, on the morning of which day an arrival from Rio Grande, in a passage of 26 days, brought intelligence that Monte Video was in the hands of the English. By comparing dates, it is probable that it fell between the 10th and 20th of January. The news of the capture of this place was brought to Rio Grande by an English vessel, which was dispatched there by the conquerors for provisions. The private letters received at St. Salvador mentioned that the place sustained a close siege of 6 days, and was at length carried by storm. They also implied, that the violences com-
mitted after the capitulation of Buenos Ayres were fully retaliated. It would seem, from the want of provisions, the English suffered after the fall of Monte Video, that their power could not extend far into the country. The Spaniards were extremely exasperated against the Americans, on account of the part acted by certain individuals in the conquest of Buenos Ayres, and an American vessel arrived from Monte Video while the Favourite lay at Rio de Janeiro, which had been permitted by the English to proceed to the former place; she gave information that, on her approach to the batteries, she was brought to, and a boat dispatched to inform her that if she continued within reach of the guns another hour, they would certainly sink her.

LOUISIANA MEMORIAL:
To the honourable the senate and house of representatives of the United States, in congress assembled.
Extraordinary and alarming events oblige the legislative council and house of representatives of the territory of Orleans to appear in the character of complainants at the bar of your honourable body.
Among the privileges secured to us by the treaty of cession, were some which congress thought of so much importance, that they hastened to bestow them as an earnest of the further benefits we were taught to expect. We knew how to appreciate them; and read with satisfaction in the first law passed for our government, the provision, that "The inhabitants of the said territory shall be entitled to the benefits of the writ of habeas corpus. They shall be bailable, unless for capital offences, where the proof is evident or the presumption great, and no cruel or unusual punishment shall be inflicted."
Whenever we have been tempted to complain that other privileges, deemed by us essential were withheld, we have been reminded of former periods in our history, when liberty was only a tenancy at the will of our superiors, and told to be grateful for the extension of a remedy against every species of illegal personal violence; we examined the nature of this provision, and saw in its theory an admirable contrivance to secure the liberty of the citizen; we inquired into its operation, and found that its practice had produced the correspondent effect; and we considered this assurance of personal, as the first step to political independence.
Secured from the dread of legal punishment by a determination not to merit it, and safe in the protecting power of the law against all attacks on our reputation or property, we assumed the plain but lofty port of freedom, and looked forward to the period when 60,000 citizens, who had by enjoying, learned to appreciate their rights, should unite in assuming an equal rank in the great federal family—a station to which "nature and nature's God," has destined them. Under these anticipations, our government experienced another change. And here again we rejoice to find the invaluable privileges of personal security re-assured with other provisions equally important. In the second article of the ordinance, it is declared that "the inhabitants of said territory shall always be entitled to the benefits of the writ of habeas corpus and of a trial by jury—that all persons shall be bailable unless for capital offences, where the proof is evident or the presumption great, and that no man shall be deprived of his liberty or property, but by the judgment of his peers or the law of the land." We view with admiration, and as children of the great American family, claim a participation in the benefits of the constitutional provisions contained in the 7th and 8th articles of the amendments to the constitution, and fear not the disappointment of congress, when we contend that within this territory, "no person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia when in actual service in time of war or public danger." And that in all criminal prosecutions the accused "shall enjoy the right to a speedy and publick trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation—to be confronted with the witnesses against him—to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favour, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defence."
We feel a grateful pleasure in referring to these constitutional bulwarks erected for our protection—an honest pride in the consciousness that we have not rendered ourselves unworthy of the blessing—and an indignant grief which we are sure your honourable body will participate, in the reflection that the noblest plan ever devised for the protection of personal liberty—the finest theory ever imagined for the restraint of arbitrary power, should, before we had well seen its operation be rendered abortive—that the best gift offered by the United States should be violently torn from our grasp, and that, while its constitutional guardians looked tamely on, the holy temple of justice should be sacrilegiously rifled of this revered palladium of our rights.
The annexed documents support the following statement of facts, to which we entreat the immediate and efficient attention of the proper branches of government.
The return of the regular forces in this city in last, announced to us the settlement of our differences with Spain upon our frontiers, and we felt grateful to those who had been instrumental in tranquillizing the country. But our tranquillity was of short duration. Measures were soon put into operation which filled the city with alarm, and every thinking mind with the apprehension of the most sinister events. Very active preparations were made for defence, but the utmost mystery observed as to the cause; rumours were put into circulation of an intent to proclaim martial law; and the old forts which command the city were repaired. At length, when a sufficient degree of alarm had been created, the merchants of the city were invited to convene at the government house on the day of December last, and many of them attended. They were met by the governor of this territory, and brigadier general
Wilkinson. The latter communicated to them that the preparations then making were to oppose col. Burr, who had formed a plan to sever the Western from the Atlantic States, and to invade the province of Mexico. That in the prosecution of these objects, he would himself be at Natchez, with two thousand men by the 20th of December, and would soon after be joined by a body of six thousand men. That with this force he would march down to this city, take possession of it and plunder the banks, and seize the shipping to transport his army, under convoy of a British fleet, to La Vera Cruz.
This information, he said, he had received, partly by a private letter from Mr. Burr addressed to him, (the general) written in cypher, and dated the last, and received by him at Natchitoches, on the 16th of October last—which letter, or a decyphered copy, he produced; and which, among other things, acknowledges the receipt of one from the general of the 6th of the preceding month, and asked his advice as to the propriety of taking Baton Rouge on his way down.—Other parts of the plan not contained in the letter he stated had been communicated by a messenger from Mr. Burr, who had been sent to him at Natchitoches.
The governor supported the general in a speech, in which he stated his belief in the existence of the danger, and read a letter, which he said was anonymous, but the hand writing of which he knew to be that of a respectable gentleman in Tennessee. The parts of this letter which were read, advised him to beware of traitors, to beware of the month of December—to beware of the General —and gave hints of some design against the city; it has since been discovered that this letter was actually signed A. Jackson , and advised the governor to beware of the general. Both the governor and the general united in recommending an embargo on the shipping, as a measure essential to the general safety—the merchants who were present acquiesced in the necessity, and the embargo was laid. A ship of war was immediately stationed below the city to prevent the departure of any vessel without the general's passport, and some which had sailed without this document, were brought back and detained until it was procured, although the necessary clearances from the custom house had been given; and we believe that although the collector has not since the refused papers required by law, no vessel is suffered to pass the port at Plaquemine, without the general's permission.
Upon the illegality of this embargo, we need not offer a single argument. The legislative power of congress alone could legally enforce a measure of this nature. Upon its expediency, many considerations occur. General Wilkinson was the only witness of Mr. Burr's treasonable design; he stated his plan to embrace the attack of this place, the plunder of its wealth and seizure of its shipping; and in order to counteract these projects it was determined to keep all shipping in the harbour to deprive them by enlisting their seamen, of all hopes of escape, to detain the treasures of the banks, and by withdrawing all the outposts, and collecting the military force at New Orleans to leave all the territory open to the invasion of the enemy.
We do not pretend to be judges of military operations, but on a point so essential to our safety as the defence of our territory, and so important to the union as the maintenance of its tranquillity, we can but advert to the impropriety of keeping the regular forces insolated in this city, and withdrawing the garrisons from Fort Adams and Natchitoches, when the obvious policy if invasion were apprehended, would have been to have met in the defiles of the upper country, aided by a numerous militia, instead of waiting an attack in a town incapable of defence; or if the attack of the Spanish dominions were meditated, to have occupied the garrisons situated on their frontier.
The embargo was a serious evil to our country—its immediate operation is already severely felt in the injury of private credit. The extent of its consequences cannot be easily calculated. In a government subject to an event like this, commercial operations must be always uncertain, confidence must be destroyed, and the price of insurance, and uncertainty of returns, will always damp the spirit of enterprise, enhance the price of imports, and lessen that of staple commodities. These evils are already felt. The capitals about to be invested in our lands, in our public institutions, and in loans to our inhabitants, are suddenly withdrawn, and the spirit of emigration to our territory is destroyed, and a full off at least 25 per cent. in the price of real estates, affects the misfortunes of our country. Measures more deeply to be deprecated, because they struck at the root of all a freeman ought to value in life—measures fortunately unknown to the history of the American people, and which we devoutly pray, may be cited only hereafter to shew the exemplary punishment that followed their adoption.
On Sunday, the 13th of December, Dr. Erick Bollman, a resident and householder of this city, was arrested by two military officers under the command of brigadier-general Wilkinson—his papers were seized—he was denied the privilege of consulting counsel, and was immediately hurried out of the territory. Two other persons, citizens of the United States, were arrested by a similar order, and confined on board a bomb-ketch, opposite the city. For some days neither the arrest of these last persons, nor the place of their imprisonment, were sufficiently known to justify any judicial steps for their release. At length one of them, (Mr. Ogden) was discovered from the shore; a proper affidavit was made, and a habeas corpus obtained, in obedience to which, and contrary to the express order of gen. Wilkinson, the officer of the navy in whose custody he was, brought him before the judge, and he was released. The other, Mr. Swartwout, was immediately removed to more close confinement, and measures were taken, by frequently changing the officer of his guard, to avoid any proper return to the writ issued for his release.
An affidavit of the arrest of Bollman, was presented to one of the judges of the superior court, on the afternoon of the 14th of December, together with the writ of habeas corpus for his allowance; and it was urged by the gentleman who presented it that the case was an urgent one—that the prisoner would probably be removed out of the reach of process by the next day. The allowance of the writ was at that time refused by the hon. Wm. Sprigg, senior judge of the superior court, in order, as he alleged, that he might consult his colleague, and be not being at home, the motion
for the habeas corpus was directed to be made in open court. On the following day this motion appears to have been made by Mr. Alexander, supported by Mr. Livingston, both counsellors of the superior court—the writ was allowed. On Thursday, the 18th of December, general Wilkinson, to whom the writ was directed, made his return, in which he set forth:
[Here follows the return in the case of Bollman.] After thus avowing the breach of the constitution and laws of his country, and declaring to the judges, sitting in their official capacity, that he would persevere in the same lawless course, he proceeded to denounce the two counsellors who had dared to question his proceedings—He demanded their immediate arrest—but though repeatedly urged by the one who was present, to substantiate his charge, and though every effort since that period has been made by the gentleman accused to provoke enquiry into his conduct, we do not find that any proof whatever has been produced to criminate him—and we are therefore constrained to believe that this denunciation was intended to overawe those who might be inclined to extend their professional aid to the general's crimes.
This deduction derives additional force from the proceedings afterwards pursued with respect to Mr. Alexander. On the following day he was, by virtue of a military order, signed by gen. Wilkinson, arrested in his house, and conveyed through the streets at noon day, under a strong escort of dragoons—he was paraded through the principal streets of the city, exposed to the pitying gaze of hundreds of the astonished inhabitants, and committed to close confinement at head quarters. From thence, with Mr. Ogden, who was a second time arrested, he was conveyed to some place then unknown. There is, however, unquestionable proof, that on the 22d of January, they were in confinement at Plaquemine.
The habeas corpus in the case of Bollman, is the only one which was issued from the superior court in these cases of military arrest—the effect of that was rendered abortive by the alleged removal of the prisoner.
The other cases were prosecuted in the county court, where James Workman, esq. presided—The history of those cases, and the reasons why they were rendered ineffectual, are contained in a report made by that officer to this house—That document demands the serious attention of the national legislature; and the tacit refusal of the governor of this territory to give effective energy to the civil authority, will no doubt be examined by the executive of the union.
The picture, however, of our sufferings, degradations and injuries, is not yet complete. We have seen the citizen imprisoned, and his advocates dragged from the bar, denounced, imprisoned and banished—the violation of the sacred seat of justice itself, was still wanting to give a finish and colouring, a glow of intense guilt to the group. This it received, for Mr. Workman, a few days after the communication was made to this house, was himself arrested, dragged to the guard-house, and imprisoned with Mr. Kerr, (another gentleman of the bar, who had taken out the habeas corpus for Ogden) until they were released by the prompt interposition of the district judge of the United States. We do not mean to be understood as vouching for the innocence or guilt of the several persons whom the commander in chief of the American army has arrested. It is, however, somewhat unfortunate that the guilt of none of the victims he has chosen from the bar or the bench, was ever discovered until they had distinguished themselves by doing their duty in opposition to his tyrannical designs.
In order to prevent all escape from scenes so full of horror, so degrading to an American, so ruinous in their consequences, and so disgraceful to those whose duty it was to protect us against them, guards were placed above, and forts and garrisons below the town—all travellers were stopped, searched, imprisoned, unless provided with passports, and the citizens of this territory, in passing through their neighbourhood, were not only stopped, but fired upon, by order of gen. Wilkinson. Innocent travellers from a remote part of the country, have been forced to return one hundred miles to procure this licence to travel in their own country.
This order has been enforced even against a member of this house, whose person was imprisoned until he had suffered an illegal examination of his private papers.
Though nothing can justify, yet circumstances of extreme danger in the moment of invasion during the suspension of the civil authority, might excuse some of those violent measures. But here no foreign enemy or domestic foe was then, or has yet been proved to have been within any perilous distance of this city, or that treason lurked within our walls—Nay, there yet exists, within our knowledge, no proofs of any treasonable designs sufficiently organized and matured to give us any reasonable cause to fear for our safety. The courts were open to punish, juries to try, and officers ready to enforce the civil authority in all cases of conviction. If reasonable doubts could be entertained of any want of energy in the civil authority, the military was at hand to aid its operations—but this auxiliary process did not suit the views of the commander—his ardent zeal could not brook "the laws delay," his promptitude to support "the holy attributes of the constitution" would admit of no stay to his uplifted arm; and though by an union of mockery with violence, in many of the cases he began by an application to the courts and to juries, yet his impatience always snatched the victims, before they had time to deliberate on the accusations he pretended to make.
Again we repeat to your honourable body, that we do not forget our department so far as to pronounce on the alleged guilt or presumable innocence of the victims of his violence. But we must be permitted to remark, that in either case the proceedings are illegal, oppressive, and inhuman.
Thus we have briefly stated, with as few reflections as the nature of the case would admit, the acts of the high-handed military power to which we have been and are yet exposed—acts too notorious to be denied, too illegal to be justified, too wanton to be excused—We have alluded to, but cannot fully describe the humiliation to which they have reduced us. Never would we have submitted to it, if the aid had been afforded by those branches of government, whose duty it was to have protected our rights, to have resisted oppression, and to have rallied us around them on the first assumption of illegal power—at the head of these branches are men not appointed by us—over whom we have no

control, and who are amenable only to congress for their conduct. It is plain that that conduct may be strictly examined here, and that nothing connected with this extraordinary state of things may be concealed. We mean to this memorial a message from our governor, by which we are invited to a temporary suspension of the writ of habeas corpus—a compliance with which we conceive would involve the violation of our oaths, the ordinance and constitution of our country, and without the semblance of necessity, lend our authority to cover the unconstitutional proceedings of which we complain. Our great distance from the seat of government, renders oppression more bold by the hope of impunity; our scattered population takes away all fear of resistance; the ease with which men in office can procure testimony, or influence opinion in their favour, makes conviction more difficult; and the necessity of keeping up a large military force, will long expose us to a repetition of the evil; but all these considerations will, we are convinced, have the effect of rendering the proper branches of our government more watchful over the conduct of their officers, and we rely with confidence on the energy of the Executive to remove, on the vigilance of the Representatives to accuse, and the justice of the Senate to punish the officers who shall be found to have disregarded their duty.
From the National Intelligencer. TO THE PUBLICK. Mr. Smith, I pronounce a letter imputed to gen. Adair, and said to be addressed to the Kentucky delegation in congress, to be a vile and infamous fabrication—and I am able to prove by the testimony of Ralston and Cloyd, two of Burr's associates, that gen. Adair left Nashville with Burr's knowledge and direction, and visited this city for the express purpose of co-operating with the said Burr. JAMES WILKINSON. New Orleans, April 3, 1807. N. B. The substance of this letter was noticed in your paper some time since. J. W.
FROM ALBANY. A brief statement of facts, which led to and attended the affray in this city on the 21st instant. On the 17th instant, at a meeting of the Clintonians in this city, certain resolutions were adopted, one of which declared the utter disbelief of certain facts contained in a deposition of Henry K. Van Rensselaer, Esq. and Solomon Van Rensselaer, Esq. the adjutant-general. The latter gentleman feeling himself grossly injured and insulted, and having understood that the resolutions were drawn up by Elisha Jenkins, Esq. who was secretary of the meeting, attacked Mr. Jenkins in the street, in the morning of the 21st instant, having first accosted him, and told him to defend himself, and gave him a severe caning—Mr. Jenkins being himself armed with a cane. About two hours after this, judge Taylor, in the presence of several gentlemen, used abusive language of the adjutant-general, calling him assassin, rascal, scoundrel, &c. and shortly after seeing the adjutant-general passing down State-street, pursued him with his cane raised, calling him damn'd rascal, and demanded of him, why he had used Mr. Jenkins thus, and coming up with him attacked him, the general defended himself with his cane, which was soon wrested from him by Taylor.—On which Mr. Cornelius Schermerhorn, jun. came up and furnished him with another, with which he struck judge Taylor, and while they were thus engaged Francis Bloodgood, Esq. and Dr. Charles D. Cooper came up, one of them crying knock the damn'd rascal down, and the other kill the damn'd rascal, and Bloodgood with the thick end of a heavy cane, which he held in both hands, struck Van Rensselaer from behind a blow that felled him—both Taylor and Cooper as well as Bloodgood, then struck Van Rensselaer while down with their canes, and Cooper also kicked him—Van Rensselaer being raised up by two persons, and greatly disabled, walked off with their assistance—Bloodgood pursued him, and while he was led off, struck him two severe blows with the thick end of his cane, held as before, Van Rensselaer being then unarmed. While judge Taylor and Mr. Van Rensselaer were engaged, and just before the first mentioned blow from Mr. Bloodgood, Henry Yates, jr. Esq. came up and interfered with Mr. Van Rensselaer, but being disabled by a stroke from a person unknown, retired. The governor, who happened to be near at the time of the affray, exerted himself to the utmost, in quelling the tumult, and the mayor of the city, and other magistrates, were very active in the discharge of their duty. The adjutant-general now lies very ill of his wounds. To prevent erroneous impressions, as to the transactions abovementioned, and to contradict the false reports that have been industriously circulated, by our political opponents, to answer party purposes, we publish the above statement, from actual testimony, and from full conviction of its truth. By order of the federal republican committee of Albany. John H. Wendell, Chairman. Tennis Van Vechten, Sec'y. Albany, 27th April, 1807.
BALTIMORE, May 7. By the last arrival at Salem it is stated that business at Naples and Leghorn was extremely dull, and nearly stagnated at the former place, by means of the continental contributions levied on the merchants by the new government. Capt. Campbell, of the brig Swift who arrived at New York from Leghorn, states that upwards of twelve American vessels were lying in that port, prizes to small French privateer boats with one and two guns—taken coming into that port and expecting their condemnations from Paris every hour, on the grounds of coming from British ports either in England or elsewhere. CHARLESTON, May 2. On Thursday last, anchored in this harbor, his Britannic majesty's sloop of war Driver, capt. Love. It will be recollected, that this is one of the vessels which was in company with the ship Leader, capt. Whitby, at the time that John Pearce was killed by a shot fired from the Leader; and in consequence thereof, was, by the proclamation of the president, ordered to depart from the waters of the United States, and instructed from ever again entering them, or receiving any aid and supplies.
contrary to the prohibition contained in the said proclamation. [A passenger in the Blood-Hoy says, that the Driver had been ordered out of the port.] From our correspondent in Barbados we have received a file of the Barbados Mercury, from which we copy the following. BARBADOS, April 7. On Saturday arrived in Carlisle Bay, his majesty's ship Acasta, of 40 guns, capt. Prowse, with 56 sail in company. She sailed from Cork on the 23d February, then having 71 sail under convoy, one of which arrived some days ago, 8 have gone on to the Southern Colonies, under convoy of the Helena sloop of war, and nine are missing; three of those arrived with the Acasta, being from Plymouth. These are, ships Duke, for Dominica; Thetis, for St. Kitts, and Mariner, for Jamaica; which with the ships Simon Cock, for Surinam; and Argo, and Marina, for Demerary, sailed from Plymouth on the 5th ult. to join the Portsmouth convoy for the West Indies, but missing it, proceeded on their voyage; the three latter separated twelve days ago, and the three former fell in with the Cork fleet on the 1st instant, and arrived at this anchorage with them. The American ship, brought in here on Saturday by the Ethalion frigate, is the Three Sisters, of Philadelphia; she has on board a valuable cargo of dry goods, and 16 pieces of ordinance. She was bound to St. Thomas, and was captured on the 29th ult. by the Duquesne French privateer (late his majesty's brig Netly) of 16 guns, and 106 men. On the 1st. inst. the Ethalion fell in with them off Desada, and retook the American, while the privateer escaped by standing to the Southward. His majesty's ship Circe, captain Pigot, has captured and brought into this port, the French privateer brig Austerlitz, of 18 guns and 180 men. The Circe fell in with the enemy at day break on Thursday morning last, in lat. 17, long. 54, and a chase of 18 hours, going free with a fresh breeze, came up with and captured him. They arrived here on Sunday morning. The Austerlitz was out 30 days from Guadalupe on her present cruise, and had only taken one vessel, a schooner from Halifax, sent in on the 1st inst to Guadalupe. Sir Alexander Cochrane has put the above brig into commission, and called her the Poltek; and made lieutenant Charles Napier, commander in her. It is much to be regretted that the enemy is so often successful against our maritime trade that, notwithstanding some occasional recaptures, & now & then, the capture of one of his privateers, the injury he still does, bears hard upon the merchant interest. Although we find it was not the ships mentioned in our last, (Maxwell, and Jason,) which the enemy was in pursuit of, after the capture of the Highlander, sent into Point-a-Petre, there is the no less regret, as two other valuable ships are lost to us; for it now appears that these ships were the Ajax, and Anterica, homeward bound from Demerary; both with valuable cargoes, (one of them having 600 bales of cotton, and 80 pipes of Madeira wine,) which had sailed with the Highlander, and she being the leading ship, and hauling out to face the enemy, was the first captured. The privateer then attacked the other two, which made a smart defence for near two hours before they struck. It was on the 16th ult. in lat. 26, that these vessels were taken; and on the 27th they spoke the Duquesne, the prize master from which on board the Three Sisters, gives this account; and that it was the French privateer ship Alert, (formerly the Otway, of Liverpool,) of 32 light pounders, and 230 men, commanded by M. Moreau, which had captured them; and on the 1st inst. also had captured the letter of marque brig Themise, from London, bound to New Providence, likewise sent to Guadalupe.
Treaty between England and America. An article dated "City of Washington, March 4," in the "Baltimore Advertiser," states, that a copy of this treaty had been received the preceding evening, by Mr. Erskine, the British minister to the United States. The "Federal Gazette, March 6th," speaking of this treaty, asserts, upon the authority of information from a Senator, that it has been rejected by the President in consequence of the "hard conditions" which it contained, and of which Mr. Jefferson had declared, he never would accept. The chief objections which he had formed to the treaty were— "1st. That it contained no stipulation on the subject of impressment of seamen—and, "2dly. That annexed to, or accompanying it, was a note which went to declare, that if the government of the United States ratified the treaty, it was understood they were to unite with England, in resisting the Decree of the French emperor, relative to neutral commerce, or that notwithstanding the treaty, his majesty was at liberty to pursue such measures of retaliation on that subject, as he should deem fit and proper." Upon these grounds of objection, Mr. Jefferson had taken all the responsibility of the rejection upon himself, declaring that the arrival of the treaty would not render a call of the Senate necessary during the recess, as he, the President, had determined to send it back to England, without submitting it to them. Thus it appears, that all those fond hopes which had been formed, that a spirit of mutual good understanding, and reciprocal interests, between the two governments, would have enabled Great Britain and America to have resisted the tyrannical decrees and menaces of Buonaparte, are destroyed, and the work of conciliation a fresh to be begun.
CONQUEST OF MONTE VIDEO. The following particulars of this event will be found highly gratifying, being given with an accuracy which does not admit a doubt, and upon which further proof of the valour, discipline and enterprise of the British arms, we pay a most willing testimony. The account is received from the American brig Troy, capt. John Hazard, 44 days from Rio Grande, bound to New Orleans, spoke by his majesty's ship Jason, arrived here this morning from a cruise, and communicated to us from the first authority: General Achutuy, with a reinforcement of four or five hundred men, about the 7th of January last, arrived at Maldonado, and after having embarked all our troops then there, proceeded up the river towards Monte Video, landed at Point Cetas, about three miles from the town the 19th, and
immediately attacked and routed the body of Spaniards collected to prevent encamping, taking from them 24 pieces of artillery. The English then marched and took post at the watering place, about a mile from the town. On the 23d, the Spaniards came out of Monte Video, with 4,000 men, to attack them. The English immediately decamped, and formed an apparent retreat, till got three miles from the town, when they halted—the Spaniards (who supposed them flying) pursuing in a most furious manner, buzzing, &c. During this retreat, a party of 300 cavalry, with some infantry, were landed between the enemy and town, from our ships. On being attacked, the enemy made a very faint resistance, and retired in the greatest confusion, only 3,400 Spaniards getting back to the town. The viceroy, with 100 men, escaped into the country. Our troops then proceeded to invest the town, and on the 2d February, having made a feint at the harbour (or north) gates, which drew the enemy's attention to that part, the English army entered the sea gates, which they faced, and after a great carnage, took possession of the town. When the Troy left Rio Grande, the English were preparing to proceed for Buenos Ayres. Gen. Beresford was still a prisoner about ten leagues from Buenos Ayres, and the English prisoners, said to be about 200 deficient of their original number, are dispersed about the country.
A report of the expected arrival at Martinique of the Rochefort squadron, has again been revived here. His majesty's schooner Marine Fortune, is said to have brought some accounts to this effect from St. Lucia, which state that the squadron consists of 6 sail of the line and some frigates, with 3,000 troops. A neutral from St. Pierre's, which left it four days ago, and arrived here last night, in some measure corroborates the report; yet it does not appear to attract much attention in either our naval or military circles, although we understand that sir Alexander Cochrane, with his squadron of five sail of the line, goes to sea in consequence, this evening. By the American schooner Jason, from Baltimore, the rejection of the treaty between G. Britain and the United States, by Mr. Jefferson, is confirmed; the master says that it had not been submitted to the senate, but was sent back to England for further modification. Brother Jonathan, we fear, may at last irritate John Bull to conclude his negotiations through one of Oliver Cromwell's ambassadors—a British man of war.
KINGSTON, April 11. Information having been received here that the American ship Indostan, of 24 guns, and fully manned, trading to St. Domingo from the United States, had lately been fallen in with, and engaged by the Squirrel frigate of 24 guns, which she succeeded in beating off, the Elk brig of 18 guns, capt. Coghlan, sailed on Tuesday, we understand, for the purpose of endeavouring to intercept her, and afterwards to proceed to New-Providence. April 14. Although Miranda has been obliged to renounce his project of emancipating his countrymen, yet it seems his short visit has excited a spirit there which is likely to produce much trouble to the Spanish government. Letters from Barbadoes mention that an insurrection fomented by a Frenchman had broken out in the Caraccas; the appearance of which became so alarming, that the Spanish governor sent to Guadalupe for a supply of troops, arms, ammunition, &c. with instructions that they should be landed at the mouth of the river Orinoco. It is possible that this might be a ramifications of Miranda's project, and concerted to facilitate a fresh descent, either on the part of that enterprising officer, or some other power. We believe there are some French emigrants of condition engaged in Miranda's enterprise, of which the instigator of this insurrection might possibly be one.
