PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON CITY, 12th mo.
FRIEND RELF—In the time of Hen- ry the third of England, there was a parliament, which from the incongruity and confusion of its measures, was call- ed the BAD parliament. In the time of Cromwell, when the loss of society be- came the top of the town, and obtained seats in the Commons, there was a par- liament denominated the RUMP parlia- ment, so called, thy friend presumeth, because the most unworthy part of the body politic had become the head. Awkward indeed must have been the GAIT of this body when the rump was al- ways the highest part. How grateful ought we to be, that our lot have fallen in more pleasant places; that we live in a land and at a time when none but the best and most wise have rule; that we are a discerning people, who
Chuse such limbs of noble council, That the great body of our state can go more. In equal rank with the best grounded na- tion.
Yes, friend Relf, the members of our National Legislature have all the quali- ties requisite for so exalted a station. Among these qualities their consistency is conspicuous, and the perfect coinci- dence of profession and practice. Econ- omy is the deity a democrat adores; economy in time, economy in money. It is the mistress of the administration, and of the two houses of Congress. If wood must be purchased to keep mem- bers warm, or to keep them from starv- ing with the cold, (as my friend Smilie expresseth it,) and an appropriation be- made for that purpose; let the officer who purchaseth, ask the difference be- tween paying the money down and hav- ing a year's credit; and if the differ- ence be one dollar in the cord, let him give his note for one year, and economise for himself with the public money.
That no money may be wasted let specific appropriations be made for eve- ry thing necessary; let an economical appropriation be made for the navy, for the year 1805, and when the public ships return from the Mediterranean, let there be no money in the treasury, that can be appropriated to the payment of the wages of the officers and men; let the men remain in idleness for the want of this appropriation, till above one hundred thousand dollars more must be paid, then if this economical specification had not been made; till the unexpected trifle of six hundred thou- sand dollars must be appropriated, above what an economical Secretary of
the Navy should pretend to deem ne- cessary for one year.
Specific appropriation! The great thing necessary, and without which no money shall be expended. And there came to this country from the magni- ficent court of Tunis, a mighty Plenipo- tentiary, and so much our specific econo- mical administration conceived them- selves honored by being thus noticed, by a nation of such power and dignity in the list of empires, that they rejoiced to provide for him an accommodating pas- sage: to support him here at the expence of two hundred dollars per week: to convey him in a suitable style to Boston, to maintain him there, to receive with due humility his objections to returning home in the Franklin; to keep the Frank- lin waiting four months for him, to pay his extra expences from Boston there and back, when he deigned to come in person and tell the President, he chose to have some other vessel in which to be convey- ed to Tunis, and to provide on purpose another vessel. And all this at the ex- pence of probably more than 40,000 dol- lars.
Yet was not all this polite and generous on our part? Will he not, through all the cities and villages of the vast empire of Tunis, tell a tale that shall honor our country?
He came here, said the National In- telligencer, to settle some dispute about a vessel, [a vast object for an embassy:] he is treated like an ambassador indeed, and he demands tribute: and how doth our administration bear this insulting demand? How show their resent- ment! By providing a vessel, such as suiteth his taste, and returning him in due splendor to that August Court which has condescended to permit an illustrious Musselman to visit our Chris- tian dogs; to insult our government, and to demand and to receive payment for the insult.
Is there no member of our House of Representatives who hath courage enough to move for the appointment of a committee to examine these affairs?
Specific appropriation—Yea verily no money must be spent by the Govern- ment or any of its agents unless Congress specifically appropriate it. Was there any appropriation for the expenses of Captains Lewis and Clark? I am not opposed to the plan of acquiring mor- knowledge of the western part of the continent, at the expence of Government, when the land belongs to Spain, France or America; but consistency and pro- priety would have compelled the Pres- ident to have asked leave of the People's representative, whether or not they were willing to expend money for the purpose.
Economy, with regard to time, is another favorite them of democratic vaunting: yet Congress, every session from idleness and mismanagement, wastes at least one half of the time they are in session. A fortnight hath already passed and next to nothing hath been done. A bill for suspending the non-importa- on act, hath past the House of Represent- atives in great haste; but hath not yet gone through the Senate. There is no so much need of haste; the late ambas- sador, Merry, hath sailed; and will tell his court the President recommen- ded, and that the House with unpre- cedented alacrity obeyed the recommenda- tion. This will satisfy the English that with all our democratic boasting of inde- pendence we fear them and promptly re- treat when ordered. Had I been one of those partly witted and half courageous members that voted for the non-importa- tion act as an instrument by which to bring the British to terms; consistency would have taught me better than hasty- ly to retract. It is, friend Relf, perfect idleness to attempt to cajole the Ameri- can people into the belief that the recom- mendation of the President was occasion- ed by any dispatches received after the 2d of this month, i. e. the President's first message. A treaty with Great Bri- tain hath probably been completed these several months, and the signing delayed only till this act should be suspended or repealed. Had the act never passed, all the differences would have been adjust- ed long ere this.

PARIS, Oct. 30.
The following Letter to the King of Prussia was carried by Capt. Montesquieu, who set out from Gera on the 13th of Oct. 1806, at 10 o'clock A. M. and arrived at the camp of Gen. Hohenlohe at 4 P. M. Gen. Hohenlohe detained that officer and took from him the letter he was the bearer of. The army of the King of Prussia was 9 leagues farther back. This Prince then ought to have received the letter of the Emperor at the latest at 9 in the evening. They assure, however, that he never received it before the 14th at 6 in the morning; that is to say, when they had already begun to fight.
It is likewise reported that the King of Prussia then said: "If this letter had arrived sooner, perhaps we would not have fought, but the heads of those young men are elated in such a manner, that if there had been yesterday any mention of peace, I could not have brought back to Berlin one third part of my army."
SIR, MY BROTHER,
I HAVE only received, on the 7th the letter of your Majesty of the 25th of September I am sorry that you have been made to sign that kind of pamphlet. I answer it only to protest to you, that I shall never attribute to your Majesty the things contained therein—all are contrary to your character, and the honour of both. I pity and despise the writers of such a work. I have received, immediately after the note of your minister of the 1st of October. You have given me a rendezvous for the 8th and as a valiant Knight, I have kept my word; I am in the heart of Saxony. May your Majesty believe me, I have such forces that, with all your's, you cannot long contend with me for victory.
But why should we shed so much blood? for what end?—I shall hold the same language to you that I have held to the Emperor Alexander two days before the battle of Austerlitz. Would to Heaven that men, either sold or fanatical, greater enemies to yourself, and to your reign, than they are to me and my nation, had not given the same causes to produce the same result.
But why should we have our subjects butchered? Do not value a victory purchased by the lives of a number of my children. If I were just entering the military career, and if I could fear the chances of combats, this language might be misplaced. Sir, your Majesty shall be vanquished; you will have committed to hazard the tranquility of your life, the existence of your subjects, without the shadow of a pretext. You are as yet untouched, and can treat with me in a manner conformable to your rank. Before a month has passed away, you will treat in a different situation—you have suffered yourself to be acted upon by stimulants that were calculated and artfully prepared. You have often told me that you had rendered me some services; well then, be willing to give you the greatest proof of my gratitude. You have yet in your power to snatch your subjects from ravages and calamities of war—it has already begun; you may terminate it, and thereby do a thing grateful to all Europe.
If you listen to those frantic men, who years ago wanted to take Paris, and who now have embarked you in a war, immediately after in offensive plans, inconceivable, you will do your people an injury which the rest of your life cannot amend. Sir, I have nothing against your Majesty; I wish nothing for you nor did I ever wish any thing from you; the present war is impolitic. I feel I am perhaps irritating, in this letter, a certain susceptibility natural to every sovereign; but the present circumstances allow of no softening; I tell you things as I think them.
Besides, your Majesty, give me leave to say, that it is no great discovery for Europe to learn that France is three times more populous, as brave and as warlike as the dominions of your Majesty. I have given you no real cause for war. Order this swarm of evil-minded and inconsiderate men to be before your throne, in that respectful silence that is due to you; I
* This relates to a letter of the King of Prussia of 20 pages of mere rhapsody, which certainly the King has not read or understood. We cannot print it because every thing that belongs to the private correspondence between sovereigns, remains in the port folio of the Emperor, and does not come to the knowledge of the public; if we publish that of his Majesty's it is because many copies of it having been printed at the head quarters of the Prussians, where it was found very beautiful, a copy of it came to our hands.
[Note to the Moniteur .]
restore tranquility in your own breast as in your dominions. If you never again find in me an ally, you will find a man desirous of only making war when indispensable to the policy of my people, and not to shed blood in a contest with sovereigns who have with me no opposition of industry, commerce and policy.
I pray your majesty to see in this letter nothing but the desire that I have of sparing the blood of men, and to withhold from a nation that geographically cannot be at enmity with mine, the bitter regrets of having too much listened to ephemeral sentiments that are excited and calmed so easily among the people.
I pray to God, Sir, my Brother, to keep you in his holy and sacred keeping.
Your Majesty's good Brother, (Signed) NAPOLEON. In my Imperial Camp of Gera the 12th October 1806.
New-Orleans, Dec. 9.—
We have delayed the publication of our paper to-day later than usual, in order to procure the result of the meeting of the Merchants of this city, held at Government House,—On this important subject we can promise our readers something more satisfactory in the next number.—Our peculiar situation at this moment will not justify a resort to conjecture. We can only give to our readers on this subject that which those in office disclose.
This morning, in consequence of a previous invitation from his excellency the Governor, the Merchants of this place assembled at government house, for the purpose of consulting with him on some points of great importance.—His excellency in a very few words explained to the gentlemen, the object of the military preparations making here, which are in defence of a premeditated attack on the territory, by a formidable party of men assembling on the Ohio, headed and led on by some of the first characters in the union. He informed them that the principal object of calling them together, was to deliberate on the best plan of procuring for the public service a number of seamen, sufficient to man the gun boats and other crafts, intended to be armed. That he conceived an appeal to the merchants themselves, would at this hour of danger, be preferable to an impressment, and he was persuaded they would display their patriotism, adopting the best and most immediate measures, to enable commodore Shaw, to procure the hands necessary.
After governor Claiborne concluded his observations, general Wilkinson, who attended the meeting, informed the gentlemen of the nature of the plot and the manner it had been disclosed to him, and on this occasion made a very impressive and affecting appeal to their feelings. He departed from that inseparable line of military conduct which he has always observed by informing them as well of his plans of offence as defence, and expatiated largely on the want of authority to execute to their extent his views and measures. He particularly related the object of the invaders to be the reduction of this place, in order with the booty they might find in it, to make an attempt on Mexico, and if they succeeded, to sever the western states from the union; that the attack was to be made as well by land as by sea, and concluded by denouncing the leader Aaron Burr, and pledged his life in our defence. The governor and general having retired, the meeting proceeded to deliberate on the plan to co-operate with government when it was unanimously agreed that an embargo ought to take place, which we have since learned has. The governor left the meeting of the merchants to consult with colonels Belchasse, M'Carthy and Dorsiere, relative to the militia.
The battalion of Orleans volunteers have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for duty at a moments warning.
N. ORLEANS IN AN UPROAR! New-York, January 12.
Last night at a late hour, the brig Thetis , M c Donald, arrived from New-Orleans—she sailed the 9th Dec. by permission, with Donaldson on board with dispatches to government from Gen. Wilkinson—an embargo having been laid the day before on all vessels.
The alarm and bustle at that place is more easily imagined than described. BURR was to be at Natchez on the 20th of Dec. with 2000 men, and 4000 Kentuckians were to follow immediately—his object the subjugation of Mexico, and the separation of the Western from
the Eastern states. Gen. Wilkinson was making every preparation to defend the city—every seaman in port would be put in requisition.
NEW-YORK, January 16.
On the 27th June last, the capital of La Plata, the city of Buenos Ayres was taken by an expedition from the Cape of Good Hope, under the command of Sir Home Popham and major gen. B. Beresford, consisting of about 1600 choice troops, and without any loss, and a generous capitulation. They kept possession of the city until the 12th Aug. following, when it was attacked and taken by an expedition of 2000 men, from Montevideo, by a French gentleman of the name of Linier, (formerly a naval officer) who was accompanied by a number of the first merchants in Montevideo, and about 80 French gentlemen, volunteers. The battle was fought with great obstinacy, by the British; but headed by an intrepid officer, the Spanish bore down all. The loss of the British in killed and wounded and massacred after they had surrendered, was by the best accounts stated to be 420 men, and the Spanish about 250, in killed and wounded; but almost 7/8ths of their wounded expired of their wounds, owing (as they say) to the British using poisoned balls; but a well informed French officer, who shared their dangers, told Mr. Deblois it was not the venomous balls of their enemies, but the ignorance and unskillfulness of their own surgeons, that killed the Spaniards.
The Spaniards retook their capitol by storm, and made prisoners of near 1200 English; but a serious dispute took place between gen. Beresford and gen. Linier; the English gen. insisting that a capitulation was made and signed while the white flag was flying upon the fortress, and which the Spanish commander absolutely denies; however, the prisoners were sent away a distance of about 3 or 400 hundred miles into the country, and it was reported that gen. Beresford and his officers were coming to Montevideo to be sent to Europe, but it was afterwards thought more proper to order them to Cordova, only about 350 leagues, or 1050 miles from Buenos Ayres. The common soldiers, composing the expedition from Montevideo, robbed and plundered every English abode at Buenos Ayres, and also every Spanish house where an Englishman was seen to reside. They also put into prison, among many others, Mr. W. P. White (formerly of Boston) Mr. Maloe, a Mr. Jackson, a Mr. Mark Riley, and Mr. Haselback. The former (Mr. White,) was induced to receive an office, such as prize agent under the English government, for which he was recompensed by being put into close confinement for two months, and part of that time incommunicable, and with the British officers, was obliged to take a journey into the interior. No strangers whatever was permitted to go up to Buenos Ayres, as they mean without exception to exclude all from thence, especially Americans.
Sir H. Popham was in Buenos Ayres when it was retaken, and with great difficulty effected his escape in a boat to his ships, after which with the exception of one gun brig, left cruising between the Colonies and Buenos Ayres, he brought his squadron (consisting of his own ship Diadem 64 guns, capt. King; Raisnable 64, capt. Rowley; Diomede 50, capt. Philips; 1 frigate, 2 sloops of war, and several armed transports) down the river, and anchored in full view of the harbor of Montevideo. Some days he would have every ship under weigh; at other times only 1 or 2, of easy draught of water, who would stand in so close that the inhabitants could discern the buttons on the officers uniforms.
It was reported for truth, before Mr. Deblois sailed; that Sir Home Popham, had received a reinforcement of 3500 men from Cape of Good Hope, and which he is much inclined to suppose is true; as he himself counted 35 sail at anchor 5 miles from Montevideo, between point Carratua, and the island of Flores, the same evening he sailed; and it was known that there were 18 sail more arrived off Maldonado, a city at the N. entrance of Rio Plata, as the governor of Montevideo, had the 23d October, received a letter from the commandant at Maldonado, who wrote to that effect. If this force has arrived, that Sir Home Popham will be able to take possession, even with 5000 men, is very uncertain, as the Spaniards have nearly 10,000 ready at a moments warning, and all those men in high spirits and confident of victory.
Mr. Deblois also reports, that the Americans in La Plata are considered
by the lower class of the Spanish people, the same as the English, because they speak the same language; and that the government there does not, by any means appear to be friendly to the Americans, of which it may be given as a proof that the Spanish merchants have drawn up a representation to the royal audience, requesting that the royal order, permitting American vessels to go the river Plate, may not be carried into effect, and it is thought their request will be complied with.
From the Richmond ENQUIRER.
A parallel, drawn from Antiquity. —It is a melancholy but memorable fact, that the man who is now attempting to disturb the repose of the American people; the man, who, whatever his shifts or doublings may be, now stands confessed as a public conspirator; has his most striking prototype in one of the worst characters of antiquity. Those who were once attached to the cause of Aaron Burr; those who were fascinated by the deceptive suavity of his manners, or admired the integrity of his principles; may startle at the invidious comparison; but neither friendship nor enmity can destroy the analogies of nature. Let the reader contemplate the character, the plots and the means of Cataline; and he will behold a similitude of Aaron Burr, which will excite his astonishment. He will be almost involuntarily prompted to enquire, whether a wild conspirator is marked in all countries by the same detestable features; or whether Aaron Burr has not in fact, pored over the pages of Sallust, to make Cataline his model. The parallel is a most curious and a striking one; it is certainly little to the honour of Col. Burr, that it is to be traced through such a variety of points; but when a man once plots against the peace of his country, his is the fault and his should be the punishment. It is we, who only discover the analogy: It is Aaron Burr himself who makes it.
We shall pass over the congenial frailties of their private life: It is enough that we examine those qualities, which fit them for their vocation.
The spirit of Cataline was "daring insidious and shifting;" "expert in feigning what he did not mean, and in disssembling every thing that he intended."—Such is Aaron Burr. No man more daring in his designs; none more wily in his expedients. Such was his characteristic caution, that he scarcely ever committed his designs upon paper; and the greatest and most astonishing oversight in his present plans, is his deviation from this usual prudence.
In that "boundless spirit which is ever pursuing extravagant views; too romantic to be feasible, and too high to be attempted;" A. Burr yields not to his model. Did he not aspire to the presidential chair, in spite of the wishes of the American nation, so decidedly expressed in favour of Mr. Jefferson?
This fact has been disputed, but upon what grounds? Mr. Bayard may assert in vain, as he once declared to a Senator of the United States, that there was not the least collusion between Mr. Burr and the Federalists on that occasion: But this single fact that may be established in a court of justice, outweighs all his assertions: that a republican, high in the confidence of the Republicans, waited upon Mr. B. at Philadelphia, for the purpose of obtaining his acquiescence in a plan which would remove every possible source of agitation and embarrassment. Col. B. was to have been elected President, if he would immediately resign in favor of Mr. J. Burr's conduct was suspicious and equivocal. He declared that it was a matter of extreme indifference to him whether he or Mr. J. was elected; that the country would be exposed to great danger by an interregnum; and enquired of Gen. _____ whether it would not be better to avoid those consequences at once, by suffering one of them to be elected. This evasion was too disgusting to inspire the slightest confidence in his virtue, and Gen. _____ did not conceive himself justified in making the proposition which he intended.
Cataline aspired in vain to the consulate of Rome, and Burr was baffled in his intention of supplanting Mr. Jefferson.
Cataline conspired against the peace of his country. And so has Aaron Burr.
Cataline applied his dexterity to all the discontented passions of the Roman citizens; men ruined by dissipation, men harassed by debt, men who had nothing to expect from the tranquil scenes of peace, and who were dissatisfied with the actual officers of the government.—The same trait appears in the picture of

A. Burr. No man is so well acquainted as himself with the very places and persons, where the elements of disaffection and treason are lurking. The discontented officers of the old administration, or those who do not conceive themselves sufficiently remunerated under the present administration, have been fully sounded; witness—as a specimen of the first, and Eaton of the last; the needy descendants of brave fathers have been consulted; discontented federalists have been probed to the bottom: and many a man has been scented out, who (in the language of Sallust) "had dissipated his paternal estate." But the description is at full length in Sallust, where the reader may find the accomplices of the Roman, and too many of the American Cataline.
Cataline is represented as having principally sought the intimacy of the young men; and the historian has well assigned the reason. "Their tender and ductile minds, are with less difficulty captivated by cunning and specious appearances."—The same trait runs through the deportment of the American Cataline.—Wherever he has gone, he has generally shunned the society of the staid, and the aged. The young have been the objects of his attention, and the unsuspecting victims of his artifices. He principally associated with young men when at Alexandria; he principally associated with them in the towns of the Western country.
Cataline attempted to augment his own means by foreign resources. He sought to enlist the Allobroges, one of the formidable tribes of Gaul, into his service. Just as did A. Burr. Without adequate resources of his own, he sought the alliance of the ex-minister of Spain.—It would be a pleasure to believe, that the parallel was also true throughout; but the strongest circumstances forbid that supposition. The Allobroges were prudent or honest enough to unmask the conspirator to his country; not so the Spanish Spy. He has in all probability fanned the flame of treason.
At the very moment, when Cataline's plot was on the eve of explosion; when his faction were prepared to set fire to Rome, to plunder, to assassinate and to trample all order under foot, did Cataline repair to the Senate House, to protest his innocence.—Must we recall to our readers the analogous conduct of A. Burr, when he appeared before the federal court of Kentucky; And if it were not pressing the comparison to too great a variety of minutiae, the very manner and the very words of each might be shown to resemble. The design of both was precisely the same.—Unfortunately for us, the parallel between the two scenes ceases here. Cicero made the celebrated "awakening speech," which was not less honorable to him as a patriot than as an orator; But Mr. Davies is no orator.—And what a consequent difference in the catastrophe! Cataline rushed but from the Senate house, abashed, baffled in his views of popularity, and cowering beneath the enthusiasm of Cicero; But Burr retired in triumph.
But away with the disgusting pencil! We have already established too many points of parallel between the Roman conspirator and an American; and we should derive little satisfaction from adding to their number.
If the surprise of A. Burr be defeated, and we really do not perceive from whatever quarter it is to be revived but from one which we can scarce dare to suspect;—his intellectual resources, astonishing as they are, can never hereafter endanger his country. What might not this man have been, if his virtues had but corresponded with his genius? The first magistracy of the U. States would have been his; and his would have been the delightful consciousness of having contributed to confirm the fabric of our republic, and enlighten the minds of his countrymen.—But those benefits or those injuries are now beyond the sphere of his power. A. Burr has set like Lucifer never to rise again. He has put a mark upon himself, which like Cain, will carry him dishonoured through the world. Henceforth no good or patriotic man will aspire to be his friend, and his society will be spurned like the plague; because like the plague, it will be suspected of contagion.
LEXINGTON, (Vir.) Saturday Evening, Jan. 14. Col. Mathew Lyon passed through this town yesterday on his way to the Federal City. He stated that he believed that the rumor respecting Burr was without foundation—that Col. Burr intended nothing against the peace and happiness of the United States—and that Gen. Wilkinson was firmly attached to the government of the Union—and well calculated for the office he holds.
M. Lyon further stated that Col. Burr had went down the river, and intended going round by water to call Gen. Eaton to account for circulating a report so injurious to his character.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of great respectability, dated Frankfort, Kentucky Dec. 13.
"Burr left this place about five days ago, and went to Lyncne's. He told me he should wait to hear as to Wilkinson's success; if hostilities did commence, he should go down and try and take all he could get to follow him, and that if hostilities did not commence, he should go to the southward. I believe there is no doubt but gen. Adair has gone to Louisiana, and it is said has gone to Wilkinson. There is no doubt but men are engaging for the Burr party. I have seen several persons who have conversed with the men engaged, viz.—and They are engaged for 6 months at least; to have arms if required, and are to descend the river, to get 10 dollars per month, and 100 or 150 acres of land."
QUERE —Is the above statement, represented to have been made by Mr. Burr, meant by him as a cover to plans even more hostile to the peace of the union?
The following resolutions have been unanimously adopted by the Legislature of Kentucky. Whereas it is considered of importance; that the citizens living under the same government should be correctly informed of the views and intentions of every portion of the community; and as the sentiments of the people of Kentucky, may be misunderstood by those who, from their remote situation, have not an opportunity of judging of the disposition which the citizens of this state entertain towards the general government; and as an expression of the public will through their representatives, is deemed the most effectual mode to prevent any misapprehension of our sentiments which might be occasioned by the conduct of individuals, or might grow out of misrepresentation—
Resolved , Therefore, by the general assembly, that the people of Kentucky, feel the strongest attachment to the federal government and consider a dismemberment of the union as the greatest evil which could befall them, and would view with abhorrence any individual or set of individuals who should attempt to separate us from those whose interests are so intimately connected with our own, and for whom the people of Kentucky entertain an unchangeable attachment, arising from a lively recollection of their united efforts for liberty.
Resolved , That the people of Kentucky have entire confidence in the present administration of the general government, and have no doubt that such measures will be pursued, as are best calculated to secure its peace and tranquility, and at the same time preserve our national honor from insult.
Resolved , That the governor of this state be requested to transmit copies of the foregoing resolutions to the president of the United States, to the executives of the different states, and to our present senators and representatives in congress.
MARTINSBURG, January 23.
The senate of Virginia have negatived the proposition of the house of delegates for consulting the people as to the call of a convention.
EDWARD TIFFIN, esq. at present governor of Ohio, has been appointed Senator of the United States, for six years from the 3d of March next, in the room of Mr. Worthington, whose term then expires.
The bill to prohibit the emigration of free negroes into the state of Maryland, passed the House of Delegates on the 24th ult. Yeas 43, Nays 8.
SENATE OF VIRGINIA. The resolution of the House of Delegates, respecting the President of the United States, was adopted on Thursday last, without a division. Yesterday, they resolved themselves into a committee of the whole. Mr. Wolfe in the chair, on the following resolution from the House of Delegates: Resolved , That the Legislature of Virginia continue to view with the highest approbation, the firm, just and liberal policy, which characterises the conduct of the government of the United States towards foreign nations."
The committee rose after a considerable debate, and reported the bill without any amendment. Ayes 11—Nays 10. The following amendment was then moved by way of substitute:
"Whereas this House hath not before it documents sufficient to enable it to form a correct judgment of the wisdom of those measures adopted in relation to foreign nations by the government of the U. States during the last Congress, nor of those recommended by the minority in Congress; and sufficient time not having elapsed to afford an opportunity of judging those measures by their effects; and perceiving no good that will be produced by the adoption of the resolution now proposed by the House of Delegates:
"Resolved therefore, that the further consideration of the said resolution, approving the firmness, justice and liberality of those measures, be postponed to the 31st of March next."
This amendment was adopted. Ayes 11—Nays 10.
Ayes—Messrs. Daniel, Currie, Goodrich, Coles, Garland, Peyton, Wolfe, Sheffield, Robb, Doddridge and Brook—11.
Nays—Messrs. Maclin, Chamberlayne, Sedden, Smith, Pegram, Hunter, Hare, Dabney, Nelson and Hungerford—10.
We are authorised to state from unquestionable authority, that James Wilson, who was secretary to the Wood county meeting last fall, has been arrested as one of Burr's adherents, was examined before the magistrate and found guilty. It is also stated that on the 24th, there was between Pittsburg and Marietta, 1000 of Burr's men on the Ohio river. [Richmond Paper.]
FACTS. General Wilkinson did apply to the acting governor of the Mississippi territory for 500 militia.
Mr. Meade required to know for what purpose—no answer was given for several days.
A considerable assemblage of the Militia officers at the seat of government being consulted; it appears that considering, that three bodies of Choctaw Indians had been tampered with, and were painted for war —that one body of them had already crossed the U. S. line and destroyed the plantation, and carried off the farming utensils of major Woolbridge.
Considering that the proximity of Fort Adams , rendered it necessary not to leave that part of the country open to the assaults of conspirators, they advised Mr. Meade not to comply with the request.
Other reasons, which we choose not to notice, were also assigned, of a very valid nature; but which prove the fidelity of the citizens to their country.
It seems as if congress really slept over their duty—or that the miserable and pitiful artifices of a certain intriguer at the seat of government had been employed to distract the public councils, in order to favor conspirators.—It is our solemn opinion that such is the fact. It is really time that congress should exhibit some activity in repressing conspiracy and intrigues.
On the 29th of December in SENATE.
Gen. Smith observed that on examining the Rules and Articles of War, there appeared to be no power to punish a citizen who should be found acting as a spy in the army, or attempting to seduce the officers or soldiers from their duty.
He therefore moved that a committee be appointed to enquire what amendments were necessary to the act for establishing rules and articles for the government of the army of the U. S.
It is stated in the Western papers, that JOHN WOOD, late co-editor of the Western World , printed at Frankford, (Ken.) has left that place for the city of Washington, where he intends to establish a newspaper under the title of the " ATLANTIC WORLD ."
Anecdote of the Arch Duke Charles and General Moreau. —When the Arch Duke Charles was on his way from Bohemia to take the command of the army of Germany, as he approached the scene of action he fell in with a number of wounded abandoned by their companions on the road for want of horses to draw the carriages in their retreat.—The Prince immediately ordered the horses to be unharnessed from several pieces of cannon that were already retreating, saying that these brave men were better worth saving than a few cannon. When General Moreau heard of this benevolent act,
he ordered the cannon to be restored, observing, that he would take no cannon that were abandoned from such humane motives.
