From the Vermont Journal. MR. ELLIOT to his CONSTITUENTS. LETTER 13.
THAT part of the constitution of the United States, which allows to the southern states, a representation in Congress and in the election of the president, for their slaves, (for it is not a representation of slaves) is the only part of that instrument which I consider as materially objectionable; and I shall not be deterred from an expression of my sentiments upon the subject, by the foolish outcry about an imaginary dissolution of the union. I have often said that I wish not to see the subject again agitated, in the form of an amendment to the constitution. Every one knows it must be unavailing. But it may still be useful that the operation of that part of the constitution should be better understood by the people than it has been hitherto. Information can do no harm in a republican government; the more the people know, the greater probability of preserving the constitution.
It is certainly true, that the rich planter in the southern states who possesses fifty slaves, has thirty-one times the political weight in our national government, that is possessed by the farmer or merchant of New-England. He does not directly give so many votes, but the state is allowed them, and as one of the constituents of the representative and elector of his district he possesses all that consequence. At the same time he contributes much less than his proportion to the support of government, for the labouring slaves consume nothing of consequence upon which a duty is paid; and what the master does contribute is earned for him by the labour of slaves; while the farmer, and every man of business in the northern and middle states pays his taxes with the sweat of his own brow. It will be said that comparisons of this kind are invidious. It is false. Truth and correct information, so far from meriting that character, are always honourable and useful. With very considerable labour I have made some calculations on this subject, for which I shall receive the thanks of every honest man in the district, and will certainly give rise to reflections of a most interesting nature.
  Whole number of persons in the U. States, in 1790, 3,893,635   Deduct slaves 694,280   3,199,355   Three fifths of the slaves 416,568   Whole number represented 3,615,923   Giving 109 representatives and a fraction of 18,923. But by the loss of fractional parts of the ratio of representation in the appointment of the several states, the actual number was only 106. 
Of the 694,280 slaves, the states of Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, contained 645,023, three fifths of which number is 387,012—which divided by 23,000, (and not calculating for fractional loss in the apportionment to the states,

which would not in this case amount to one member) gives the slave representation of the southern states agreeable to the first census, eleven members, and the fraction 24,012.
Whole number of persons in the U. States in 1800, exclusive of Tennessee, Ohio, and the Territories 5,140,208
Slaves. Total. Tennessee 13,584 105,602 Ohio 45,345 Indiana 135 5,641 Mississippi 3,489 8,850

Three fifths of slaves 264,154
4,635,646
Giving 149 representatives and a fraction of 18,646. But by loss of fractional parts, &c. the whole number is only 142.
By the second census, 888,809 slaves, the same states contain 832,690, three fifths of which is 499,794, giving 13 representatives and a fraction of 4,794.
I shall divide the U. States into the three great natural divisions of Northern, middle, and Southern states. The Northern receive no damage, the middle but a trifle if any, and the Southern a very important advantage from the representation of slaves.
The following table exhibits the decrease of slaves in the northern and middle, and their increase in the southern states, for ten years.
New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont, contained in 1790—Total, 1,009,322; slaves 3886. In 1800, 1,233,011; slaves 1339. New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, in 1790. Total, 1,017,726; slaves 45,371. In 1800, Total, 1,464,017; slaves 40,894. Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North-Carolina, South-Carolina and Georgia, in 1790. Total, 1,856,387; slaves 945,023. In 1800, Total 2,473,231; slaves 837,992. The slaves in the northern states have decreased from 3,886 to 1,339, almost in the ratio of 2 in 8. In the middle states from 45,371 to 40,894, in that of nearly one ninth. Increased in the southern from 645,023 to 832,992, nearly one third of the original number, or in the ratio of 832 to 645.
Rhode Island has decreased from 948 to 380. Connecticut from 2764 to 380. New-York nearly stationary. Pennsylvania and Delaware have decreased a little, and Maryland made a small increase. Virginia has increased in the ratio of 345 to 292. Kentucky in that of 49 to 12. North-Carolina in that of 133 to 100. South-Carolina in that of 146 to 107. Georgia has doubled her number. The increase gives four members of congress and as many electors of the president to the southern states.
The increase of the whole number of persons represented has been as 49 to 36; that of slaves for which their masters are represented as 53 to 41; that of freedom as 44 to 31. Let us calculate upon the same ratio of increase for ten years to come. Increase the number of persons represented from 49 to 65—slaves from 53 to 68; freemen from 44 to 60, round numbers; there will be in 10 years more than 19 representatives for slaves. But if we calculate as we may with probability, upon a much larger increase, upon the creation of new states in Louisiana, and the importation and propagation of slaves in that country, in 20 or 30 years there will be between 30 and 40 representatives in congress for slaves, and as many electors of presidents.
But another very gloomy part of the picture remains to be unfolded.
In the last ten years the whole number of persons in the northern or eastern states has increased only as 12 to 10, in the middle as 14 to 10, in the southern nearly as 24 to 18. Free people in the eastern as 12 to 10, slaves in the southern as 83 to 64. Free people in the southern states from 1,221,364 to 1,603,239. Free people in the eastern states in the ratio of one fifth only of the original number; those in the southern states in that of nearly one third; slaves in about the same proportion.
By the last census the number of free persons in the northern states was 1,231,672 and in the southern 1,604,239. By the former census the number of free
persons in the northern states 1,005,636, and in the southern 1,221,364. How are the people in these different quarters of the union relatively represented? By the first census Vermont had 2 members, New-Hampshire 4, Massachusetts 14, Rhode-Island 2, Connecticut 7—29 members. Maryland 7, Virginia 19, Kentucky 2, North-Carolina 10, South-Carolina 6, Georgia 2—46 members. 1,005,636 free citizens in the northern states had 29 representatives, and 1,221,364 in the southern 46 representatives. Without allowing any fractions of the ratio of representation in the appointment to the several states, and making no allowance for slaves, the northern states would have been entitled, by the census of 1790 to 30 representatives and a fraction of 15,636, the southern to 37 only with the trifling fraction of 364. In consequence, therefore, of the constitutional representation for slaves, the relative weight of the northern and southern states was only as 29 to 46, when otherwise it would have been as 30 to 37.
By the present census the northern states have 35 representatives and the southern 64, including Tennessee. 1,231,672 free people in the northern states have 35 representatives. The southern states including Tennessee contain 1,696,237 free people, and have 64 representatives. As above, the northern states would have been entitled by the census of 1800, to 37 members with a fraction of 10,672. The southern to 51 and a fraction of 13,257. It is as 35 to 64, and, were freemen alone represented, and that equally, it would be as 37 to 51. Instead of being little more than half, it would be more than two thirds.
But it is contended that the equal representation this inequality; and the deceivers of the people have met with some success in this falsehood. I will prove it false in one minute. The 5 northern states, contain 1,231,672 free people and send 10 senators; the 7 southern states 1,696,237, and send 14 senators, by a simple operation in the rule of three it will be found that the southern states, by their numbers, in proportion to those of the northern, are entitled to 13 senators, with a fraction of 91 parts of 123. The middle states stand almost on the same ground with the northern. As it respects the senate they are on worse ground. With a free population but one eighth less than that of the southern states they have but one more than half the number of senators.
Vermont, for 155,000 free people, has 4 representatives, Massachusetts, for 574,564 has 17 representatives. New-Hampshire, for 183,850 has 5. Connecticut, for 250,050 has 7. Rhode-Island, for 68,742 has 2. New-York, for 565,437 has 17. New-Jersey, for 198,727 has 6. Pennsylvania, for 600,832 has 18. Delaware, for 58,120 has 1. Virginia, the largest of the southern states, has in whole numbers, 880,200—deduct slaves 345,796—free people 534,404. Virginia, with 40,160 free people less than Massachusetts, has five representatives and electors more. With 31,033 less than New-York she has five more of each. With 66,433 less than Pennsylvania, she has four more of each—Persons now alive may see the day when the southern and western states will have more representatives in Congress and electors of President, for slaves only, than the northern will have for all their free people.
Whoever shall deny the truth of any part of this statement, the people may rely upon it he is a deceiver and dishonest. If there be no accidental or typographical mistake in the figures, every word of it is as true as truth itself. Such a state of things is our own misfortune, and not the crime of the people of the south. We must make the best of a bad bargain. We must by all means preserve the constitution. Our situation is indeed wretched, as we have no compensation for this monstrous sacrifice. That which was intended as a compensation (a very trifling one however) the apportionment of direct taxes has never been exercised but once, and probably never will again. Still let us preserve the constitution. But it cannot be treason, conspiracy, or a division of the union, to contemplate our misfortunes, and calculate the consequences.
JAMES ELLIOT.
From the (Boston) Repertory. FACTS Which will aid the Future Historian in Delineating the true Character of the present Executive of the United States. "When men of infamy to grandeur soar, They light a torch to shew their shame the more."
The various charges which I have ad-
vanced against Mr. Jefferson, and which from a complete conviction of their truth I pledged myself to support, instead of silencing the headstrong advocates of the distinguished profligate, have produced nothing but a torrent of personal abuse. Every statement criminating Mr. Jefferson, advanced by the federalists, has been represented as the offspring of infernal malice, fostered by party spirit without principle, and tending to blast unjustly, a character in itself pure, amiable, and deserving the cordial esteem and approbation of good men. The supporters of the President, with an affected confidence in the fairness of his reputation, have admitted that the crimes of which he was accused were disgraceful, were shocking, were incredible. They have even declared that were the accusations supported by proper evidence, they would no longer defend, but renounce him. Yet said they, no evidence exists; it is anonymous slander; it is abominable falsehood, and the unspotted virtue of the persecuted JEFFERSON will triumph over slander, and be transmitted in the page of history, for the example of his successors.
The following communication is from THOMAS TURNER, esq. of Virginia, a gentleman of very respectable character, and whose veracity will not be questioned. It will be seen by the close of the letter that he does not hesitate to lend his name, and pledge his personal responsibility for the truth of his allegations.
LETTER.
SIR—After my note of last week, I shall, without circumlocution, enter upon the several subjects embraced by your letter of the 4th ultimo, and answer the several interrogatories therein proposed with all the perspicuity in my power, and all the light afforded by my own knowledge of facts, and by respectable information, recently obtained in Richmond.
At the time Petersburg was occupied by the British Troops, under command of Generals Phillips and Arnold, Mr. Jefferson, who was then Governor of the state, did participate in the partial consternation excited by the situation of the British army, and did abandon the seat of Government, at a period and with an awkward precipitation, indicative of timidity, unwarranted by any immediate movement of the enemy, and forbidden by a regard to those duties, which belongs to the station he held. This fact is well recollected, and can be proved by many of the oldest and most respectable inhabitants of the city of Richmond, and I believe would not be denied by the candid supporters of Mr. Jefferson himself.
The sequel of his conduct after the Assembly returned to Charlottesville and on the approach of Colonel Tarleton to that place stands attested by thousands of witnesses, and can never be forgotten by those of his countrymen who respect the character of a firm and virtuous public officer, and who abhor that of a dastardly traitor to the trust reposed in him. His retreat or rather his flight from Monticello on the information that Tarleton had penetrated the country, and was advancing to Charlottesville, was effected with such hurried abruptness as to produce a fall from his horse, and a dislocation of the shoulder. In this situation he proceeded about 60 miles south, to the county of Bedford, whence he forwarded his resignation to the Assembly (who had in the mean time, removed to Staunton and) who thereupon elected General Nelson Governor. These circumstances are substantially and literally true; nay, the abdication of the government, must be a matter of record.
Mr. Jefferson's encouragement of Callender, and his rewarding that miscreant, for the blackest effusions of the blackest calumny, that ever escaped the envenomed pen of a villain, are circumstances as well known in Richmond, and as susceptible of positive proof, as the circumstance of his having delivered an inaugural speech, or any thing else of the most public notoriety. The facts are these. On Callender's sending the proof sheets, of the "Prospect Before Us," for the inspection of Mr. Jefferson, he received a note, fraught with extravagant acknowledgments of the merit of the work, and authorising him to call on Mr. George Jefferson of Richmond for fifty dollars.—When the first part of the second volume of the "Prospect" appeared, Callender received a second note of thanks, covering fifty dollars more. It is to be observed, that one of those notes is without signature, but Mr. Jefferson's hand writing is too remarkable to be mistaken, by those who are in the habit of seeing it. The letters were deposited, with a Mr. Davis, Richmond, and whilst in his possession, were
examined by several gentlemen of respectability, all of whom recognized the hand writing; and further, it has been repeatedly acknowledged by Mr. Geo. Jefferson, that he did pay the money, as instructed by his kinsman.
On the remission of Callender's fine, I need not dilate—it being a thing of official stamp, and of course in the possession of all.
The third subject alluded to in your letter, is "the affair of Mrs. Walker"—an affair whose monstrous atrocity, whose diabolical turpitude, whose extensive, continued, and deliberate villainy; defy the powers of the strongest pen, and can only be conceived by those, who have seen and attentively perused, the documents unfolding the whole, of this unparalleled transaction—This I have done, I will, as briefly as I can, give you the substance of, and dispatch this hateful subject,—
The father of Mr. John Walker was the guardian of Mr. Jefferson, and advanced a part of those funds which were applied to the education of the latter; an education affording those talents, which have been so strangely perverted, which have been insidiously employed in the conception of schemes, foul, ungrateful, horrible. At a very early period of their lives, Col. Walker and Mr. Jefferson contracted an attachment which grew up with their years and ripened into the closest intimacy—their professions were mutual; their confidence unbounded—whilst things were in this situation, Mr. Jefferson was meditating the unnatural purpose of seducing the wife of his best friend, and to this end (taking advantage of the confidence of Col. Walker, and availing himself of the timidity of the lady, whose affection for her husband, forbade the disclosure of the transaction, which might lead to an exposure of his life) devoted himself for ten years repeatedly, and assiduously making attempts, which were as repeatedly and with horror repelled. FOR TEN YEARS was this pursued and at last abandoned (as he himself acknowledges) from the inflexible virtue of the lady, and followed (as he also acknowledges) by the deepest and most heart wounding remorse.—All this I HAVE SEEN; NOT in Newspapers, not in extracts, not in copies of letters—I HAVE SEEN IT, IN THE ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE, BETWEEN MESSRS. WALKER and JEFFERSON, every letter of which bears the signature of the writer, or has been since acknowledged by him, under his own hand. In this correspondence Mr. Jefferson repeatedly and fervently confesses, that the guilt is all his own—the innocence all Mrs. Walker's; and that he shall never cease to revere, and attest the purity of her character, and to deprecate his unpardonable and unsuccessful attempt to destroy her. His contrition, his misery, is asserted in the warmest terms; and his acquittal of Mrs. Walker, pronounced in the strongest language of his pen—Amongst other concessions, he owns, that in order to cover the real cause of the separation between Col. Walker and himself, he did FABRICATE A NOTE respecting an unsettled account, which he said, had produced the schism, and which he expressly acknowledges HAD NO FOUNDATION IN TRUTH—Let it not be forgotten that the attempts against the honour of Mrs. Walker, were carrying on DURING THE LIFE of Mrs. JEFFERSON, than whom a better woman and a better wife never existed.
"The affair of black (or rather mulatto) Sally," is unquestionably true—They have cohabited for many years, and the fruit of the connexion abundantly exists in proof of the fact.—To crown this affair, an opinion has existed, to which Mr. Jefferson, it is supposed, cannot be a stranger, that this very Sally is the natural daughter of Mr. Wales, who was the father of the actual Mrs. Jefferson—The eldest son (called Beverly) is well known to many.
I observe you have omitted one prominent feature in the dark picture of this distinguished Citizen's life—namely, his conduct to Mr. Gabriel Jones. As this serves to constitute an essential link in the extensive chain, I will give it to you. When Mr. Jefferson first turned out in the practice of the law, several gentlemen with a view to encourage talents, and assist a young man of merit, aided him both with their personal exertions, and advances of money—of the latter Mr. Jones was one of the most distinguished, and lent him in specie, a sum of money to be returned when convenient to the borrower. Some considerable time after, (I think in the year 1779) when our paper currency, had not merely depreciated, but had entirely sunk into nought, Mr. Jones received by his

daughter, Mrs. Harvie, a note from Mr. Jefferson enclosing in paper, the amount he had borrowed in gold and silver, and demanding his bond. Mr. Jones, indignant at such treatment, and appreciating the transaction by its merit, enclosed the bond to Mr. J. accompanied by the paper money tendered, and such remarks as the nature of the case, was calculated to suggest. The consequence was a full discharge of the debt, in specie, whereby a virtual acknowledgment was made of the dishonourableness of the former tender.
I have now, sir, discharged what I consider a duty, in communicating such facts as were in my possession; all which I believe to be substantially true; and most of which I affirm to be so.—Should this letter, in any degree, have a tendency to aid the cause of virtue, or arrest the progress of vice, I shall stand abundantly remunerated, for any exertions on my part to produce such an end. If you find occasion to do so, you are at liberty to make use of my name, in this business.—If not necessary, I have no particular inclination to appear in it.—Respectfully yours,
THOMAS TURNER.
Such is the horrid detail, and such the evidence, I have to lay before the public. This evidence, though complete, is not solitary. In addition to the respectable testimony of Mr. Turner, I am authorised to quote David M. Randolph, Esq. late marshal of Virginia, as knowing the facts, relative to the affair of Mr. Walker, and willing, at any time, to vouch for the truth of them. And he, says my correspondent, could unfold tales which would cause Mr. Jefferson to tremble.
At the tribunal of public opinion I now appear. The truths I have advanced respecting Mr. Jefferson, must be acknowledged to affect his reputation in the deepest manner; and in a republican government where it is deemed highly important, and where every provision is made, to ascertain the real character of public officers this publication must appear a duty incumbent. Mr. Jefferson never did me nor any of my connections a personal injury. This investigation and development have resulted only from a strong sense that circumstances so atrocious ought to be known, and particularly in a government, which cannot exist, unless supported by public virtue.
The loud call for names, and the importance of fixing the charges against Mr. Jefferson, in a point of view not to be controverted, determined me to write to Virginia; there I first learned to abhor the character of a man, who has since risen to the highest honours this degraded country can bestow, and there I first acquired that knowledge of facts which has enabled me to assume the bold tone of accusation, so very offensive to his friends.
The very evidence so loudly demanded, and with such misplaced, anticipated exultation, is now before the public. Are firmness and common honesty requisite qualities for the office Mr. Jefferson sustains, and for which he may again be a candidate, read the foregoing particulars of his life and judge. Even the modern philosopher who has no regard to the sacred importance of religion must here find cause to blush for the sake of his country, and feel anxious for her fate. But to those who regard the principles of moral obligation, who revere the sacred dictates of religion, and who cannot view crimes of the blackest hue without a heart felt detestation of the perpetrator, let them peruse this picture, and look at the situation of our nation with such a man at its head.
Few among the democrats have had the hardihood to declare publicly, that it is of no consequence whether a distinguished officer of government be an exemplary or an abandoned character.—They have generally admitted that the statements respecting Mr. Jefferson were important, if true; but on the authors of those statements they have heaped unqualified censure and even execration. It being now proven that the reputed libels on the President were positively matters of fact, we trust there will hereafter be a little more delicacy exhibited by our opponents. On this they may rely that any attempt at evasion or equivocation shall be followed by accumulated evidence. The good people of America have been long enough the dupes of impostors and ignorant men; the press owes to society the services of which it is capable, and it is to be hoped public opinion is not yet too corrupt to be corrected. If so, we shall be slaves indeed.
Latest FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LIVERPOOL, May 11.
On the 7th inst. an embargo was laid upon all British shipping in Great Britain, and a heavy press took place in the river, and at all the ports.
A very general alarm prevailed. The Brest fleet was stated to be at sea. All the volunteer myriads were again hurrying to their alarm posts, and the greatest efforts were making to fit out every ship of force in ordinary.
Some very important dispatches were said to have been received from the north of Europe on the 7th of May, which were immediately laid before a full cabinet council, and the Admiralty board, and messengers were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to start for the continent.
From a number of accounts from the Mediterranean, it is probable Lord Nelson's fleet had gone to Egypt in search of the Toulon squadron. A large fleet however had sailed from England for the West-Indies; and the places of some of them, in the channel fleet, had been supplied by Sir John Orde's squadron.
NEW-YORK, June 26.
LATE FROM MARTINIQUE.—By the brig Actress , Capt. Linker, arrived last night in 16 days from Martinique we learn that the French and Spanish squadrons left that place the 15th inst. for Guadaloupe—where they arrived, and sailed again the 8th, bound to Antigua. Two French frigates had arrived at Martinique, and reported that they sailed from Ferrol in company with a French & Spanish fleet of 14 sail of the line, with frigates, transports, and troops on board, bound to that place. The above frigates parted from the fleet in a gale of wind. On going out of Guadaloupe, the combined fleets captured a British ship of 30 guns. No accounts had been received at Martinique of the arrival of a British naval force to windward, as before reported.
May 28.
SELECTIONS,
From London papers to the 15th of May received last evening by the ship Savage from Liverpool.
LONDON, May 9.
The West-India fleet, which sailed on the 20th ult. under convoy of the Ethalion frigate, and Serpent Sloop of war, also fell in with Sir John Orde's squadron, was prevailed upon to return into port, and is arrived at Cork. The next day the commander of the Ethalion , called a meeting of the several captains, on board his ship, and informed them, that if, after all they knew, they were still desirous to proceed on their voyage, he would sail with them, provided they would sign a petition to him, stating that to be their wish. This being complied with, the trade put to sea, and were out 1 day before the convoy thought fit to return, without any subsequent intelligence, or any additional reasons for so doing.
The Frisk cutter is arrived at Plymouth, with dispatches from the Ferrol squadron, and the fleet under Lord GARDNER; she left the former on the 30th ult. and the latter the 3d inst. The fleet under Lord GARDNER, at the time of her departure, amounted to thirty sail of the line.
Much activity prevails among the hostile flotilla on the opposite coast. On Monday about one hundred of their gun-boats were discovered off the sand hills standing for Boulogne; they were supposed to be coming from Havre or Dieppe.—Some of our cruisers immediately stood over for the purpose of intercepting them; and the squadron at Dungerness instantly got under weigh.
Accounts have been received from the Channel Fleet, dated off Ushant the 3d inst. at which time it had been reinforced by the Mars , Moniteur , and Illustrious , of 74 guns each.
The Glory , of 97 guns, is hourly expected at Spithead, with Admiral Sir JOHN ORDE on board. Orders have been sent to him to repair thither, and strike his flag.
May 10.
Advises were yesterday received at the Admiralty from Lord Gardner. His fleet consisted of 21 sail of the line—the enemy were at single anchor in Brest water, completely ready for sea. Their force is supposed to be from 21 to 25 sail of the line.
The French, it is believed have 14,000 choice troops on board. Our force will consist of 8,000 of our best men. The troops in Ireland commenced their march to Cork on the 4th instant.
BOSTON, June 24.
Further from the West-Indies.—Capt. Trefethen, arrived at the quarantine ground on Saturday last, from Basseterre, 22 days, informs that on the 29th May, two French 74 gun ships arrived at Basseterre, from Rochefort, who sailed from thence in co. with 5 other ships; and that the two ships above mentioned sailed from thence on the 2d June, to join the grand fleet at Trinidad, where it was presumed they had gone. Capt. T. further informs that the British Packet, Earl of Leicester , was captured about 60 leagues to the westward of Barbadoes, by a French privateer, and sent into Guadaloupe.
From the above intelligence it appears, that a reinforcement has arrived from France, for the purpose of joining the French and Spanish fleets; that the period of commencing its contemplated operation against the British colonies was about the 1st of June; and that Trinidad was marked out as the first object of their predatory speculation.
Other accounts from the West-Indies, to the 30th May, state, that from the dispositions which had been made by the combined squadron, it was probable they would direct their first operations, not only against Jamaica but St. Kitts and St. Vincents. No mention is made of their designing an attempt against Jamaica, which is known to be well fortified, and would be gallantly and ably defended. These accounts also confirm the report that the troops on board the Spanish fleet were in a sickly condition.
ALEXANDRIA, June 27.
Captain Brownlow, of the Hannah , from Guadaloupe, informs us that on the 28th of May, two ships of eighty guns arrived from France. They said they formed a part of a French fleet of twenty sail of the line from Brest; and had been separated in a storm. They had taken a merchant ship on their passage. On the 4th of June the Kingfisher sloop of war, was captured by two French frigates off Basseterre.
[Norfolk Ledger.]
If the above report be correct, if the Brest fleet has really escaped, and is bound out to the West-Indies, then is it doubly plain that the object of the Emperor is more than the conquest of the colonies, for which so great a force is by no means requisite. The Ferrol squadron was also expected at Martinique, supposing the information obtained there by capt. Garrow to have been correct; when the four fleets of Brest, Toulon, Ferrol and Cadiz, shall be united, they will constitute a force of not less than 55 or 60 ships of the line. Now as this embraces about three fourth (or perhaps a greater portion) of the whole naval strength of the allies, it would be next to absurd to imagine that it would be detached for the purpose of conquering a few islands, to which one third of its force with a proportionate number of transports, would be fully adequate.—Now let us suppose this manœuvre to be a part of the grand design against England, the manner in which it can contribute towards it is evident. To counteract the operations of, or to engage with success, so large a fleet as 55 sail of the line, it may be necessary for the British ministry, to send after them at least 40 sail of the line, in addition to those already in the West-Indies.
We have not lately seen a navy list, but we believe the number of line of battle ships in commission, in England, did not exceed 65 or 70, in November last. of this number suppose 45 in the West-Indies; there would then be left about 25 to defend the channel. As soon, however, as the imperial squadrons have united, if instead of proceeding to leeward, they should return directly to Europe, they would elude the British fleets, and while these were probably seeking for them as low down as Jamaica, they would arrive in a defenceless channel, which they would completely open to their flotilla; and the fate of England would then have to be decided on her own territory, in a contest with an enemy which could without obstruction, for some time at least, receive every aid of men and necessaries from France. Although this may not be the design of Buonaparte, yet we cannot think that it is such a scheme as is altogether improbable. If it should be his intention to affect his main purpose in this manner, a very short time will develop it, for in that case the stay of the imperialists in the West-Indies will not be long. They will be anxious enough to get out of the way before the arrival of a British admiral. This circuitous route may be for other reasons considered if not the shortest at least the safest way to the
channel. The French crews were mostly raw and undisciplined; such a voyage was necessary before they could venture to encounter the hardy naval veterans of Great Britain and Ireland.
MARTINSBURG, July 5.
A letter from a gentleman in New Orleans to his correspondent in Philadelphia says:
"The report of the day is, that measures have been taken to dispossess the Spaniards of the lands between the Rio Perdido and the Mississippi, and that officers had been sent to different posts to execute these measures."—The same letter adds: "I have just seen the Marquis de Casa Calvo, who tells me that Governor Claiborne's communications to him are of the most pacific nature; and that he (the Governor) had given instruction to repress any tumult or disorder that might take place."
At the close of the letter it is stated, "A letter is received by the mail from Baton Rouge, which says an attack was expected to be made on the fort, so that you will perceive the idea expressed in the beginning of my letter is prevalent in that part of the country."
Extract of a letter from M. Talleyrand, to his Excellency Mr. Livingston, late American Minister at Paris, written by order of the "EMPEROR and KING."
"Paris, April, 1805."
"I have thought it would be particularly agreeable to you, to be able to encourage in your country the taste for the arts, and with this view have the honour to send you a collection of the old and new Calcography of the father and brothers Piranisi. These engraved and coloured designs will be advantageously placed in the Museum of New-York, and will moreover demonstrate the interest with which you have inspired us, for whatever may contribute to the instruction and accomplishment of your young countrymen."
"I entreat you, sir, to accept the assurance of my high consideration. (Signed) "C. M. TALLEYRAND."
This rare and valuable collection, which Mr. Livingston brings with him, consists of 24 vols. folio of Prints, together with several Port Folios, containing copies in oil and water colours from Raphael and from Antiques, Views of Constantinople, Cairo, &c. &c.—The works will not only be useful to painters and sculptors, but to architects, cabinet makers, goldsmiths, and others engaged in similar employments."
A list of letters remaining in the Post-Office at Shepherd's-Town, which if not taken out before the first day of October next, will be sent to the General Post-Office as dead letters.

ON TIME.
BY BELLECK OSBORN.
Mov'd by a strange, mysterious pow'r, Who hastens along the rapid hour, I touch the deep-ton'd string; E'en now I see his withered face, Beneath yon tower's moulder'ing base, Where mossy vestments cling.
Dark roll'd his cheerless eye around, Severe his grisly visage frown'd, No locks his head array'd, He grasp'd a hero's antique bust, The marble crumbled into dust, And sunk amidst the shade!
Malignant triumph fill'd his eyes; "See, hapless mortals, see," he cries, "How vain your idle schemes; Beneath my grasp the fairest form Dissolves and mingles with the worms; Thus vanish mortal dreams."
"The works of God and man I spoil; The noblest proofs of human toil "I treat as childish toys; "I crush the noble and the brave; "Beauty I mar; and in the grave "I bury human joys."
Hold! Ruthless phantom—Hold, I cry'd, If thou canst mock the dreams of pride, And meaner hopes devour, VIRTUE, beyond thy reach, shall bloom, When other charms sink to the tomb, She scorns thy envious power.
On frosty wings the demon fled, Howling, as o'er the walls he sped, "Another year has gone!" The ruin'd spire—the crumbling tower, Nodding, obey'd his awful power, As TIME flew swiftly on.
Since beauty, then, to TIME must bow, And age deform the fairest brow, Let brighter charms be yours; The female mind, embalm'd in truth, Shall bloom in everlasting youth, While TIME, himself, endures.
CABINET Manufactor.
WILLIAM EATY respectfully informs his friends and customers, that he is now enabled to furnish them with Cabinet work, of any description, on the shortest notice.—He has on hand a quantity of elegant Mahogany, Cherry, Walnut, &c.—He assures his customers that the whole of his stuff is well seasoned, and all his materials of the best kind.—The encouragement he has already received, has induced him to continue in Shepherd's-Town, and he will warrant his work to stand good if it is taken care of. He is averse to the pompous manner in which mechanics generally recommend themselves to notice in their advertisements—he will barely observe, that the knowledge of his profession has been acquired among workmen, and that he wishes every person to examine his work previous to their engaging it. He will take any kind of country produce in exchange for Furniture. Eight years have elapsed since he commenced business in this place; he hopes his friends will continue to patronize him, that they will study their own interest, and have a little gratitude for a mechanic who has been so favourable with them.
All those indebted to him are requested to come forward and make payment of what may be due, as he is determined to place his business in a situation that will be more profitable to himself and serviceable to his employers. Shepherd's-Town, 14th of the 6th m 1805.
