BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, August 22.
Yesterday arrived at this port, the ship Polly Capt. Tracy, from London, last from the Downs, 36 days. We have received the London Daily Advertiser and Morning Chronicle to the first of July; but the accounts they bring from the theatre of war are not so late as the translations we published from our French papers on Monday.
The accounts of the right wing of the army of Moreau having forced the passage of the Danube between Blenheim and Dillengen, in which the Austrians were severely beaten; the honours which the French Government are preparing, as a testimony of national gratitude, to the memory of general Delfaux; and a few other articles of letter note (most of which were anticipated by our Paris Journals on Monday and Tuesday last) comprise nearly the whole of the intelligence these papers afford us.
The English and Batavian governments had been occupied for six weeks in discussing some commercial arrangements which were proposed by the latter, and in which they are mutually interested. The British Ministry had not on the first of July received official information of the late decisive victories obtained by the French in Italy.
LONDON, June 30.
TRIAL OF HADFIELD.
After the examination of a number of witnesses, Lord Kenyon asked Mr. Erskine if he had many more; Mr. Erskine said about ten or a dozen. Lord Kenyon then said, that in his opinion the evidence that had been produced went clearly to prove, that the Prisoner was certainly in a deranged state.
The Attorney General said, that he did not wish to press the matter; he saw it in the light that his Lordship did, and did not for a moment conceive that a false colouring had been given to the case by the evidence for the prisoner.
Lord Kenyon then told the Jury, they must acquit the prisoner, as his insanity was proved, but he must not be discharged; it was absolutely necessary, as well for his own sake, as for the sake of the community, that he should not be let loose on the public.
The Jury immediately returned a Verdict of Acquittal on the Plea of Insanity. The prisoner was then remanded, under the care of Mr. Kilby, to Newgate.
The prisoner appeared perfectly calm and collected, (during the whole of the trial) until the entrance of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, when he leaned over the shoulder of Mr. Erskine, exclaiming, "Oh! how I love! How I love him! God bless him!" But on Mr. Erskine's desiring him to be quiet, he recovered himself immediately, and did not speak another word, nor did he seem to be at all affected during the remainder of the proceedings.
There is no truth (says the Morning Chronicle of July 1.) in the report of a person having been dispatched to this country by Buonaparte.
Last Saturday we received papers to the 26th inst. The Telegraphic dispatch from Hunningen, of the 23d says that the right wing of the army of Moreau had forced the passage of the Danube, between Blenheim and Dillengen, after a vigorous resistance; and that the result of the battle was 3000 Austrians made prisoners, with the loss of 14 pieces of cannon and 4 standards. This movement and its object, we fore saw and announced in the Oracle of the 20th and 24th, on the first intelligence of the march of Lebourbe upon Augsburg.
Mr. Wickham is at Vienna - Col. Clinton, during his absence, attends the armies. Mr. Melvils was sent off on Saturday with dispatches to the Earl of Elgin at Constantinople.
The Hamburg mail due on Sunday has not yet arrived. By its arrival it is possible
that ministers may receive their official accounts of the decisive victories of the French in Italy and perhaps information respecting the sentiments of the court of Vienna.
Dispatches brought over by a Dutch naval officer to Norwich, and received on Saturday by government, related to some commercial arrangements proposed by the Batavian Directory, and which have been for upwards of six weeks, under the consideration of both governments.

4 The Minister of the Interior shall transmit the present arrete to the family of General Delfaux, with the testimonies of the esteem and regret of the government for that illustrious citizen.
In the absence of the First Consul, By the second Consul CAMBACERES H. B. MARAT, Sec. of State.
The Observer of yesterday states, that Mons. Peugnet, a French gentleman, had arrived in London from Cruxhaven, said to be charged with renewed overtures from Buonaparte. Such was the importance of his dispatches, that he left Cruxhaven on the 23d instant, in a packet purposely and exclusively for his conveyance.
PARIS, June 24.
Telegraphic Dispatch.
The commandant of the arms at Brest to the Minister of the Marine and Colonies.
The garrison of Corville has baffled the projects of the enemy, one of whose pinnacles was taken.
Second Telegraphic Dispatch.

Third Telegraphic Dispatch.
The Minister of war has received by the Telegraph the following Dispatch from general Moreau, dated
Hunningen, 4 Messidor, June 23. The right wing of the army of the Rhine has forced the passage of the Danube at Blenheim and Dillengen.
The enemy opposed a vigorous resistance, but were overthrown by our troops, who took fourteen pieces of cannon and four standards.
Three thousand men besides have been taken prisoners.
CONSERVATIVE SENATE.
Extracts of the Registers of the Conservative Senate, June 23.
The Conservative Senate, after having heard read the message of the Consuls of the republic, dated the 21st instant, relating to the brilliant successes obtained by the army of reserve in Italy.
Orders, that it shall send the following message to the Consuls of the republic:
The army of Reserve has performed in the 14th of June, all that we had a right to expect from its valour, and the invincible superiority of the heroes who direct it. The Conservative Senate received with enthusiasm the news of its successes. It partakes, in common with all France, in the joy and admiration inspired by its triumphs; and in the thanks and sorrow so justly due to the brave men whose blood has been shed for the republic.
Collated, with the original by us, President and Secretary of the Conservative Senate.

MC. KEAN AND STEVER. When the late Governor Mifflin made a magistrate of a pick-pocket, all honest men lamented the appointment: but the Governor had some excuse for his conduct; the man's crimes and character were not sufficiently known; he had never been, as was Stever, tried by his country, and duly convicted.
If the business of appointments go on a le M-Kean, it will be nothing strange, if in a few years we see some of the citizens of Botany Bay on the Pennsylvania bench of justice; and the British, instead of transporting their convicts to the utmost bounds of the globe, should let them transport themselves directly to Philadelphia...
IT is remarkable that in neither of the late discussions of Mr. Jefferson's character, do we meet with the most obvious of his disqualifications. I mean that unsettled state of brain and of opinion, which has so constantly diverted those with whom he has been most intimate.
Mr. Jefferson has also invented a table, which in less time than you can say hocus-pocus, will in form become either a circle, a triangle, a square, or a polygon in any of its varieties.
Whether this be the cause or not, let philosophers determine; but certain it is, that Mr. Jefferson is in such a bewildered state of mind, when at home, that he has never yet been able to agree to a fixed form or shape for anything.

LETTER III.
TO THOMAS JEFFERSON, Vice President of the United States.
PHILAD: Aug. 16, 1800.
THE more I meditate on your character, the greater are the fears which I entertain for my country. Born with a restless and ambitious soul, you delight to roam in the storm of anarchy and confusion, where you may seize with insatiate fury on every object of appetite and passion; indulge in your speculative system of liberty, and subvert that blessed Religion whose mildness and benevolence support the bonds of society, and whose mercy gives consolation in the hour of death and mitigates its pangs.
I appeal to my country if my alarm is not well founded? Whatever faults and demerits you may perceive in the Christian Faith, it has often tranquillized the troubled soul of America when war and pestilence hung over her head; when misfortunes followed one another in rapid succession, and her very liberties lie gasping at her feet. Your fellow-citizens, Sir, will not at this hour reject that divine aid which has supported them thro' their trials, and which have been thought necessary by them to their political salvation.

When your worthy friend Mazzei and yourself were riding together one day, he observed his surprise that the people of this country suffered their public buildings to go to decay, at the same time pointing to a Church which was falling to ruins. You answered "certainly it was good enough for him who was born in a manger" his sentiment may suit the Philosophers of France and it may have pleased the ear of your friend Mazzei; but I trust by your fellow citizens it will be considered as blasphemy. I trust they will think as I do, that the man who would utter such an expression is unworthy to rule over them.
Indulge me Sir for a moment, while I sketch the outlines of that character you might have supported with your fellow-citizens and which you have forfeited by your iniquity—contrast it with what you now are , and I dare assert a momentary blush will suffuse your cheek.
Favoured in a profuse manner with the richest gifts of nature, you early in life assumed a conspicuous station, and engaged in the cause of liberty which your country was struggling for. Respected for your talents and beloved for the services you rendered her, your country cast her eyes on you as one of her first patriots and most illustrious citizens—the highest public stations to which ambition could aspire, the would proudly have conferred upon you; and when death should have deprived her of the services of him, to whom all the world did homage your countrymen, 'tis probable would have unanimously raised you to that dignified chair, which you are now meanly striving to attain by the help of traitors, foreigners and the most worthless part of America. But behold the sad reverse! having formed a base connection with the Philosophers of France, you deserted every honourable companion of your earlier life to associate with men destitute of every principle and respectability and who like hungry wolves watch every opportunity to prey on the vitals of their country.
As every exertion that an ambitious mind could make, and every vicious means that depravity could suggest have been employed by your friends and by yourself to elevate you to the Presidential chair, if there is a moment left for reflection, I desire you to pause and take a view of a picture of those follies and cruelties which will characterize your administration; a picture drawn from the public life of him who by the same means a d party has mounted to the Government of Pennsylvania. He has only fulfilled his duty as a Jacobin and acted up to the spirit of his party. As your friend we may naturally suppose there will be a resemblance in actions as there is in character. If your heart is tenderer than his, more the pity for you. He has exposed the system of Jacobinism, and you must act up to it; your compassion must be turned into hardness of heart, and the feelings of your nature accommodate themselves to the feelings of your party. How nobly does your friend act! He can listen to the wretch who knocks at his door for pity—unmoved at his complaints for that mercy which has fled with the winds. He can bear the hissing infant call on his father for bread; the parent sue for the office which once provided it, and unfeelingly reply "I will teach you and your babes to starve." He can hear with the exulting pride of a tyrant contemplating his power; the groans of a dying officer calling on God to protect his wife and children whom he had robbed of their pittance to gratify the avarice of a son.
Our Governor "is a friend to republican institutions;" yet hundreds he has turned from office, because in the freedom of suffrage they voted against him. He has declared himself the Governor of the Jacobin party by denouncing half the state for apostate whigs, Tories, British merchants and expectants of offices. He has made one thief a justice of peace and the other a major general. All these things Sir, you must do as the head of that party; it is expected of you. You dare not refuse and will not say how far they will accord with your inclinations.
The spirit of Jacobinism when it seizes on a man intoxicates and bewilders him. He is hurried on to extremes, for which, oftentimes neither his mind or his temper qualify him, for however venemous the heart, the nerves will sometimes refuse their office, and thereby prevent his reaping that full harvest of brutal pleasure which keen revenge had ravenously expected. This, Sir, I suppose, to be your carver; you will free away your peace of mind, perhaps your life, in schemes of Jacobin ambition, while the imbecility of your temper will baffle your efforts to execute them.

From John Russel's Commercial Gazette.
THE CHARACTER OF GEN. ALEXANDER HAMILTON, CONSIDERED AND VINDICATED.
Calumny and abuse have been always the rewards, and must forever be the prices, which men must pay for distinguished talents and services. Envy never fails to assail mediocrity, and mean spirited jealousy does not goad itself at vulgar fame. When a military and political eagle, like Hamilton , pursues his elevated course through the atmosphere, the lesser tribes of the feathered creation survey his ready, lofty grandeur, with an envious and repining spirit.
Few men, I believe, have experienced more mean obloquy, more rival jealousy, more hatred, and more cowardly fear (the invariable homage to unrivaled talents) than this first financier, and first soldier, in the United States.
Although he has retired to private life, and solicits no office in the power of the government or people to bestow, yet it has been the fashion of late, in public and private, to vilify and calumniate this deserving and distinguished public servant.
It is in my opinion immoral for any man who has witnessed his services, and who believes in his purity, to be a silent spectator, without attempting to resist this ungrateful and slanderous torrent.
With a heart, warm, affectionate and respectful to one of the greatest and most disinterested patriots of our country, I regret that my pen is fully qualified to do him justice. But it is the meed of gratitude and of an honest soul, and as such it will be acceptable.
I propose to consider the charges which have resulted from the vindictive malice of his enemies, and then to recapitulate his claims on the gratitude and affection of his countrymen.
The first and the meanest tales of which I shall take notice, are the circumstances of his birth. Miserable indeed must be the soul of that man, who could descend so low for materials to stain the reputation of so brilliant a child of genius. I should have esteemed the charge as beneath the notice of every liberal man, if some, whose education and refinement ought to have taught them better, acquired by narrow and contracted prejudices, had not ransacked the annals of gossiping slander, to tarnish the well earned laurels of this distinguished citizen. Does it consist with the republican notions, which these men possess , to make it a reproach that Gen. Hamilton was not descended of a patrician or noble family? that he cannot trace a long line of illustrious ancestors, who have spared him the trouble of performing great deeds to render his name immortal? Is it a disgrace that he cannot, like some of his calumniators, boast a father, dear to liberty, distinguished for eloquence, and from whom none of these precious gifts have descended. To the minds of the truly liberal and ingenious General Hamilton is the greater, for having been the founder of his own family, the creator of his own fame. Without friends, without family connections, without the ordinary aids which other the young men into consequence; he has established a name, envied by his rivals, dreaded by his enemies, beloved by his friends, respected in other nations, and which will be honoured in other times.
The next charge is that General Hamilton is an alien by birth. The cause of such a character need no other support than that of truth. Any country may be, and after his death any country would be proud of having given birth to such a citizen. But did party virulence, or personal rancour, ever select such miserable weapons of defamation?
Hamilton came to America at four years of age—here he was educated—here commenced his intellectual assistance—here he was, with a million others, made an American citizen, when the nation first sprang into existence by the declaration of independence—here he fought our battles during the revolutionary war, with the reputation of a soldier. Was it considered a reproach to Lee, to Stuben, to Fayette, to Iriddell, to Morris, that they were aliens born? Yet these men came here with the prejudices of Europeans. When was the period to have doubted his sincerity?—twenty years since, when his breast was made bare to the bayonets of our enemy; or ten years ago, when listening Senates hung with rapture on the eloquence, the virtue, and the correctness, of his official reports? Is it a new discovery which some federalists have made, that Hamilton, the father of the public credit upon which they now subsist, is a foreigner by birth, and therefore unworthy of our confidence? Let such men blush for the narrow, contracted policy which governs them.
But it is alleged against Gen. Hamilton, that he is an ambitious man. I with those who accuse him would manifest their ambition in the manner in which he has done. Instead of courts and town meeting harangues, to court and secure a fleeting and fading popularity—in place of that coaxing, wheedling, wavering system of professions and practice, calculated to obtain place and consequence, we should see the preserving their country's good unsmirched of the whitewashing form of popular fury, so fickle, so inconstant. Ambition has been generally manifested by an ardour for power and place; it has been marked with strong and legible characters; it is restless, impatient, bold, assuming and unprincipled; it has made its principles always subservient to its end; it has always courted the people, or intimidated them, frequently both: in a religious age, it assumes the fanatic; in an atheistical or infidel period, becomes a Mazzeian philosopher; in a warlike age, it flirts a hero; in a pacific and commercial age, it plays the economist and peace maker.
Hamilton, by the execration of his enemies, and the adoration of his friends, is evidently placed second to no man in point of talents—Yet what have been his public honors?—Has he ever been a candidate even for the Vice Presidency?—Has he ever courted the people, to abuse them?—Has he been accommodating and supple in his politics? Has he not, to preserve his official reputation, nobly sacrificed his popularity? Has he not been more solicitous for honest fame, that fame which is imperishable, because it is the result of noble and disinterested deeds, than for place, power, titles or property, the vulgar ambition of fardid minds? Is he now begging for office, wooing the people, foothing their prejudices, Is he an egotist, a vain glorious man? Does he complain of public ingratitude, and of his public services and suffering in the cause of the people? No—his offices have been toils without honors, and without rewards; and he has retired without any other emolument from them, than a reputation which a diadem could not purchase. If he is am-
bitious, it is an ambition, of a new, and superior species—it is an ambition, useful to his country, and worthy of his talents and virtues.
But it is alleged, that Gen. Hamilton is a cunning man and an intriguier. This charge has been frequently reiterated, and by some whose opinions ought to have weight with their fellow citizens, if they were not under the influence of improper prejudices. Political enemies and political rivals are very apt to bestow this epithet upon their distinguished opponents. If a man's superior talents procure him their necessary weight and influence, they give him credit for intrigue , because they are too mean to acknowledge his superiority. To no man, more than to Gen. Hamilton, has this quality been more frequently or with less justice applied. His failings are on the opposite side. To the ingenious frankness and openness of his character, he is indebted for that wonderful share of unpopularity which has always accompanied him. Open and undisguised, he has always been habituated to call things by their proper names; and to the little tricking arts of chicane and popular legerdemain, he is an utter stranger.
No man had such a knowledge of character, and such a detestation of art and intrigue, as our illustrious Washington. All his confidential friends, in war and in peace, were men of open, frank, decided characters; and among them all, in his federal administration, Hamilton stood foremost in his confidence. By his influence, he was appointed second in the command of our armies; and the pretence is known to be false that Washington charged him with intrigue in supplanting the amiable and generous Knox.
In fine, to the enemies of government he has been a sharp two-edged sword—to the Federal Government, a firm and durable pillar—and should his country be invaded, he will be an impregnable bulwark. I shall consider the other charges against him hereafter.

BOSTON, August 16.
In long. 15, was boarded by a French privateer ship, and treated very politely; observed they should not molest unarmed American vessels. She had been out twenty days on her cruise; and had captured four English vessels. The captain of one was put on board the Dolphin, and in her reached this port.
August 17
Arrived, the Pilot Schooner Little Dick, six days from Halifax. Mr. C. le the master has favoured us with the following list
of American vessels laying in Halifax harbour: Ship Brutus, Rutherford, of and from Newburyport, for the Havana, laden with timber and provisions, taken 80 hours after she failed. She is a new ship. (Another list says that she was supposed to be sold to the Spaniards) —ship —, Remington, from Providence for Hamburg, with Havana sugars; brig Sally, Dawson, of Philadelphia, from Batavia homeward, taken within three days of her port. Sloop Little Charl'te, Cornell, from Bristol for Leghorn, laden with Havana sugars (The other list says, that vessel went from the Havana for Bristol, where she landed part of her cargo and took it in again, and failed for Bilbao. She was taken on suspicion of the cargo's being Spanish property.) —Schooner Diligent, Spinney of Portsmouth, from Martinique for Boston, laden with sugar and molasses. (The other list says, this vessel was captured because she had on board articles not allowed to be brought from the British Islands by neutrals; and was likewise to be condemned.) Two Schooners have been condemned for trading in the harbours of Nova Scotia contrary to law. One was commanded by Captain Husford of Boston.
A number of American vessels have been sent into the different out ports of Nova Scotia: several American vessels are lying at Halifax which have been condemned; some are fitting out as privateers.
The cargo of a ship recently condemned, which belonged to Philadelphia, is estimated at 150,000 dollars. It appears that this ship formerly belonged to Philadelphia, and was captured by the French and sent to Guadalupe, where she was condemned. A gentleman belonging to St. Thomas, purchased, and brought her to that Island, where she became a Danish bottom, and was manned with Danes. She took in part of her cargo and proceeded to Philadelphia, from which port she was freighted for Rotterdam by several American merchants. She was captured soon after leaving the Delaware and sent to Halifax. The first claim was for the ship; she was condemned as French property. This claim was made by the capt. There were several other claims; among which three were worthy of remark; The first of which was by a naturalized citizen of America, who was an Englishman born. The Judge observed, in this case, that any English born subject although residing in a neutral country, and becoming a citizen, according to the laws of such neutral country, if found trading with any nation at war with Great Britain, should have his property confiscated; as he held it impossible for such person to divest himself of his allegiance to his native country. The second claim was by a Frenchman born. The Judge said, that as the certificate of citizenship did not mention the place of his nativity, it is not his business to look farther; and as it was clear he was not a native American, he felt no diffidence in condemning his property.
The third claim was of a native American. The Judge said, that it was perhaps a neutral case; but as the shipper was imprudent enough to ship his property in such a suspicious vessel, although he should clear the property, he should condemn the claimant to pay the costs.
