TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber on Sunday last, a Negro Man named Yim , alias Jim Thompson , but better known in this county and Jefferson by the name of Fifer Yim ; he is about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, about 40 years old, has a round flat face, of a very dark colour, and is a stout well made fellow; he was lately confined in the Martinsburg jail from which I relieved him. He has for several years past blowed the fife for the militia companies about Martinsburg and other places, on which he performs very well, & plays the fiddle also. He had on an old suitout coat made of gray coating, overalls and waistcoat of the same cloth, a pair of about half worn shoes, split down the vamp owing to their being too small, and stockings, and probably other clothing with him. I will give the above reward to any person who will return said negro to me, or confine him in Berkeley or Jefferson County jail so that I get him again.

A Great Bargain.
FOR SALE,
FOUR hundred and seventy-three acres of LAND , lying in Berkeley County, Virginia, on one of the main roads leading from Williamsport in Maryland to Winchester in Virginia. About one hundred and sixty acres of this tract are rich bottom, abounding in every species of valuable timber, forty acres of meadow cleared, part in grass, the rest ready for grass seed this spring, and two hundred acres open for farming, secured by strong new fence. This land is uncommonly well watered; 10 or 12 springs which never fail, some of the strongest lime stone water, others soft water; several of these springs in different situations on the public road, have in a short distance from 25 to 45 feet fall of water, handsomely calculated for stills, breweries, tannards, blacksmith's shops, &c. with a sufficiency of good stone raised, and in place, for building a large distillery. One half of this land is of a strong red lime stone quality, the residue slate; well adapted to any kind of grass, or grain, and in a peculiar manner suited to the use of plaster. A new stone Dwelling House put up last summer, with other necessary buildings. A handsome stream of water runs thro' the centre of this tract, which has worked a saw-mill to great advantage for 15 or 18 years past, affording also a snug seat for a chaping mill. A bearing Apple Orchard, young one lately set out, and nurseries of 2000 trees of the choicest fruit, most of them fit for planting out. This farm will admit of a handsome division into two lots, with meadow, wood, springs, and farming land to each. It would be needless to enumerate any other advantages, it will be sufficient to say, that nothing but a pressing call for money, could induce the subscriber to offer this property for sale; his terms are moderate, he will sell, part cash, the balance on credit; but to a person who could advance the greater part of the purchase sum, he will throw in 100 acres of grain which promises a very good crop, and give immediate possession, or continue the crop begun, and pay the purchaser 150l. or 400 dollars for the year. Any one from Washington County, Maryland, or Pennsylvania, disposed to purchase, will call on Mr. Joseph Smith, sen. near the Big Spring, Chalmer's tavern, he will shew the property, or to the subscriber on the premises.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 31.
Intercourse between America and the West-Indies.
Lord Holland, previously to Lord Auckland's motion on the subject, wished to move for some farther documents, in order to place, in a clearer point of view than the papers on the table admitted of, the number of ships, and their tonnage, belonging to British ports. He accordingly moved for accounts of the number of ships which had cleared out of, and also the number built in the different ports of the British empire, with their tonnage, which after a few words in explanation, were ordered.
Lord Auckland then rose to make his promised motion, which he prefaced by entering into several details. By the Navigation Acts of Char. II. and William III. all trade to the British Colonies in foreign bottoms was, he said prohibited. It was evident that the vessels of the United States of America were foreign bottoms, and therefore came under the prohibitory clauses of those Acts. From the peace of 1783 to 1788 they were precisely in this situation. In the latter year a legislative measure was resorted to upon the subject, which continued till the year 1793, from which period till the year 1801, the Governors of the British Colonies in the West Indies exercised the power of granting, as necessity required, permission to import provisions and lumber from America, and every year a bill was passed to indemnify those concerned in advising or exercising this measure, for their acting contrary to law. It happened, however, that in 1801, owing to the confusion arising from the change of Administration, a bill of this description was omitted to be brought forward, and the subject had escaped attention until the present time, when, on turning to its consideration, he found this to be the state of the case. It became therefore necessary to indemnify four Administrations, including that now in office, for having thus acted contrary to law since the year 1801, as well as the Governors of the West India Islands; this was the object of the bill, which it was his intention to introduce, and which he had no doubt, would be supported by all those Noble Lords who had formed a part of the four Administrations to which he had alluded. With respect to the subject itself, it was certainly of the greatest importance that our W. India Colonies should be regularly supplied with provisions; from the nature of their cultivation they could only grow a very small part of the provisions necessary for their subsistence. He was not disposed to quarrel with the United States of America for supplying the West India islands with these articles, on the contrary he was disposed to think it an advantageous intercourse. If the islands were left to depend upon this country for a supply, it must necessarily, in time of war, be precarious, whilst in the event of scarcity, ships sailing from this country would, of course, go to these islands where they expected to get the highest prices and probably pass those which were most in want. A regular supply of provisions to our West India islands could only be ensured to them from America, and, his opinion was, that the enactment of our laws ought not to be followed up with any view of preventing the Americans from deriving any advantage from the intercourse. The neutral bottoms of the Americans were of use to us in time of war—the advantage was mutual. The United States of America had grown with our growth, and strengthened with our strength, and had contributed much to the increase of our commerce; a commerce which had risen to an unexampled pitch of prosperity, and which was greatly superior now to what it ever had been, even in time of peace. Thus it appeared from official documents, that the value of the exports from this country of British manufactures, which on the average of the five years ending in 1793, 150,000,000, amounted, on the average of the five years ending in 1805, to 25,600,000. He thought it would be ad-
visable to introduce some regulation, in order that the intercourse between our West India colonies and America, might be placed on a more certain footing; this might be effected by authorising the Governors to issue proclamations from time to time, allowing the importation from America, each proclamation to be in force six months, which would insure a certainty that no interruption would take place during that period. His Majesty's late ministers, to whom, in this instance he did not mean to impute the least blame, had sent out a Circular Letter to the Governors of the West Indies, requiring them not to grant a permission for importation from America, on light and trivial grounds. Some of them took an alarm, and put a stop to the importation altogether, which had the effect of enormously raising the price of provisions. It was, however, fit that the intercourse, which was necessary, at least in time of war, to the comfort and well being of our West India colonies should be regulated by an act of the Legislature, and that the Governors of our islands should not be reduced to the necessity of continually acting in violation of the law, or Ministers at home continually advising such violations. He concluded by presenting a bill to indemnify all persons concerned in advising or ordering measures for importing certain articles into the West India Islands from America, in American vessels, which was read a first time.
The Duke of Montrose concurred with much of what had been said by the noble Lord. He thought, however, that with the aid of convoys, the West Indies might, even in time of war, be supplied from this country; but admitted that a supply so sent would be precarious. In time of peace, however, the question assumed a far different shape, as he conceived there was no doubt that our West India islands could then be supplied regularly from this country. He objected to the trade between America and the West Indies on account of its giving rise to smuggling to a great extent, and of enabling the Americans to import into our colonies the produce of the East Indies at a low rate, thereby excluding the merchants of this country from a beneficial source of trade. When he heard the noble lord speak of the advantages of neutral bottoms, he hoped his Majesty's ministers had not formed a similar opinion with respect to the trade carried on by America between the enemy's colonies and the mother country. The confining our West India islands to procure a supply of provisions by means of British vessels in time of peace, would be the means of employing a great number of British seamen, whilst it would prove a beneficial source of commerce to this country, the advantages of which ought not lightly to be given up.
Lord Sheffield supported the arguments of the Duke of Montrose.
Lord Holland deprecated our entering into any war of regulations with the United States of America, respecting an intercourse which tended to mutual advantage. He could not conceive that the confining our West India islands to a supply in British vessels which the noble Duke had stated; the seamen employed in such a trade were not of that description to be useful to this country, neither would building ships here for the purpose of sending to America to purchase provisions to carry to the West Indies, pay the expense. He trusted that Parliament would never again try the experiment which was productive of so much misery to our West India colonies, in the period from 1784 to 1786, when their supply from America was cut off, and in consequence of which, in Jamaica alone, 15,000 negroes died, from the famine which that regulation produced.
The Duke of Montrose contended that in time of peace an extensive trade to our West India islands, in British vessels would be the means of employing a great number of our seamen, who would otherwise be unemployed.
After some explanation from Lord Auckland,
Lord Grenville observed, that the question as to what might or might not be politic or expedient, with respect to the trade with our West India islands in time of peace, was wholly foreign to the question now before the house. What-

ever opinion might be entertained on the former point, it was clear that in time of war a necessity existed for allowing the Americans to supply our West India islands with provisions; at all events he was not disposed to hazard a speculation of confining the source of supply to British vessels when the subsistence of near a million of persons inhabiting a most important part of the British empire was at stake. He suggested that it would be expedient to adopt a Legislative regulation, which might be done by a clause in the present bill, authorising his majesty in council, to direct his Majesty's Governors in the West Indies to issue proclamations from time to time, each proclamation to be in force for six months, allowing the importation of provisions and lumber in American vessels. He was decidedly of opinion that some Legislative regulation ought to be enacted upon the subject, and that the system of continually violating the law and passing bills of indemnity, ought not to be continued.
Lord Auckland gave notice, that in the progress of the bill he should introduce a clause founded upon the suggestion thrown out by his noble friend.
The bill was ordered to be printed.
LONDON, April 22.
The promises and threats of France and Prussia to induce Denmark to assist in excluding our flag from the Baltic, have been hitherto unavailing; the Danish ministry insist on a rigid neutrality, and it is probable that she will succeed in maintaining it.
April 28.
The only arrival from the continent yesterday was a vessel which reached the River under Pappenbury's colours. She sailed from Embden on the 11th. The captain states that when he came away an order was posted at the exchange of Embden to the following effect—'That no British vessel at that port with a cargo should be permitted to stay longer than twenty-four hours, and then to sail without landing any of her merchandise.'
GLASGOW, April 30.
From our London Correspondent.
LONDON, April 27, (4 o'clock.)
An embargo was laid on Saturday on all vessels (except those under the Danish flag) belonging to any of the ports or places situate upon the rivers Elbe, Weser and Ems.
I have waited until this moment, in expectation of the arrival of the Hamburg mail, neither of which are come to hand.
A vessel was on Friday sent into the Downs which left the island of Walcheren on Thursday; several letters were yesterday received in town by her, from Middleburg and Flushing, dated the 22d. These concur in stating the death of the King of Prussia, but differ as to the cause or agency which produced that event. Ministers, it is understood received similar accounts, and the result of an enquiry at several of the public offices was, that although the report was by many entertained with prudent scepticism, it was no where rejected as improbable.
It is said that the account of his Prussian Majesty's death has been also communicated by two vessels arrived from Catwyck.

NEW-YORK, May 23.
The following observations and remarks on the situation, climate, &c. of the port of La Guayra and the city of Carracas in Spanish South America (furnished by a gentleman lately returned from a voyage to that country) cannot fail to interest every description of readers:—
La Guayra , is the principal sea port of the province of Carracas, and is situated on the foot of an extensive chain of lofty mountains, running immediately along the coast. It lays in 10, 37, lat. and about 67, W. long. from the meridian of Greenwich. The high mountain that hangs almost over the town is called the saddle of Carracas, and is 9,230 Spanish feet high. It has been seen at the distance of 25 leagues at sea.
The thermometer is seldom as low as 75, and is generally from 80 to 85, throughout the year, and especially in the summer months, when it is very calm.
The atmosphere is dry, notwithstanding the heat that prevails, its inhabitants are remarkably healthy. Putrid and malignant fevers do not make their appearance here as in the West India islands; and it is a circumstance worthy of particular notice, that that class of people who are devoted to the hardest labour and greatest exposures, are wonderfully strong and robust. The town and its environs contain about 12,000 inhabitants.
City of Carracas. —This is the capital and seat of government of the province of the same name, and is perhaps one of the finest situations in the world. It stands in a most delightful valley immediately over which La Guayra is situated, and is distant from that place probably not more than 10 leagues in a direct line South. The road to it over the mountains is 5 leagues, the elevation of this valley above the level of the sea is near 4000 feet. The climate is very even, mild and temperate, the thermometer seldom rising higher than 78, and never falls below 68 and 68. It is generally about 32 Fahrenheit. The atmosphere is rather humid; its inhabitants enjoy exceeding good health.
There are several small rivers near the city where waters are found to be wholesome and very salutary for bathing.—Nearly all the European tropical fruits and vegetables are produced here, and even Indian corn and wheat might be cultivated in sufficient quantities to supply its inhabitants, or even all the West India Islands. One may wear a broad cloth cloak all the year round in this delightful valley, without inconvenience, and it very properly is denominated the Montpelier of the new world. The city and its environs contains about 43,000 inhabitants.
The province of Carracas extends from the river Ornoeco to the lake of Maraycaibo, which is nearly 800 miles of a sea coast.
Exports from La Guayra Puerto Cavello in 1803, according to custom house.
25,000 fanegas cocoa—64,000 quintals coffee—35,000 bales cotton, of 1 quintal each—83,000 hides—2,000,000 horns—20,800 ceroons of indigo, 100 lbs. each—20,000 lbs. sarsaparilla—850 jars balsam capivi—5,000 quintals canister tobacco—800,000 lbs. copper—300,000 lbs. fustick, &c.—10,000 lbs. Jesuit's bark, and various other small articles.
Extract of a letter from Trinidad, dated, May 1st, 1806.
"We have not heard any certain accounts of Miranda, and wonder where he can be.—Admiral Cochrane will give him all the assistance he can, and has ordered his son, capt. Cochrane, of the frigate Jason, to cruise for him."
BOSTON, May 19.
This moment arrived the ship Galen , captain Stedman, 37 days from London, and 31 from the Downs. By her we have been furnished with papers to the 9th ult. 3 days later than by the Hempden . Nothing of particular consequence had transpired. They announce the arrival of a number of British vessels from Embden, &c. some with and some without cargoes. Also many Prussian vessels sent by their cruisers. A flag of Truce, arrived at Dover on the 7th from Boulogne. A paper of the 9th contains the following extracts.
The Gazette contains a note, stating that the requisite communication has been made to the foreign ministers at this court, by Mr. Fox, apprising them that the Ems, the Elbe, the Weser and Trave have been put in a state of blockade. The trade of Hamburg, of Embden, Lubec, and Bremen, and of those places carried on through them from principal channels is thus cut off.
Much speculation continues to be excited by the arrival of the last flag of truce. But no more is known of the matter than the fact of the arrival of dispatches. This forms all the data on which the opinions of the public respecting the nature of the communications are
built. Many incline to think that something of peace, as well as the exchange of prisoners is in agitation.
From London Papers.
In the annexed article, from the Publiciste , a French official paper, every quidnunc, who feels interested in the politics of Europe, will find a more complete development of the ambitious views of the French Emperor, than is contained in all the volumes, essays, letters, &c. which have ever appeared on the subject.
"I wish to see Austria lose the Tyrol and Salzburg, in favor of Bavaria, which should be erected into a kingdom; the title of Emperor of Germany suppressed; Napoleon made Emperor of the West ; a new kingdom formed of Turkey in Europe ; and the French, Spaniards, Germans, Italians and Greeks , under one chief; to prevent the Scythians from ever passing the Dardanelles, and traversing Poland. This chief of the west will be master of the commerce of the east; and shall, when he chooses, make a journey to the Ganges."
The Russian forces on the frontiers of Moldavia and Wallachia, have been considerably reinforced by Cossacks from the shores of the Black Sea.
The British Admiral Louis , has been made a Baronet, and Admiral Cochran , Knight of the Bath. It is said Admiral Duckworth will be created a Peer.
The political cooks are very anxious to know what is to be the fate of the Diet of Ratisbon.
As Bonaparte aims at the destruction of the ancient dynasties of Europe, perhaps he may yet be buried in the ruins of the old houses he is pulling about his ears.
One of the propositions lately made by Bonaparte to our government for an exchange of prisoners is to give three English for five French.
The Duke of Sussex (the 6th son of his Majesty) it is said, will go out Governor General of Jamaica.
The grounds of difference between the British Government and the U. States of America, have, we understand, engaged the particular attention of Ministers; and according to report, the Hon. David Erskine, son of the Lord Chancellor, is to be sent to that country upon a special mission.
PITTSBURGH, May 20.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman residing at Vincennes, Indiana Territory, dated April 15th, 1806.
"THE governor has just been officially informed that the Delaware Indians have burnt several individuals of their nation, and condemned several others to undergo the same fate. A prophet it seems, appeared among them, who told them that he had seen the Great Spirit who commanded him to tell the Indians that it was his will they should destroy all those who drank spirituous liquors or kept bad medicines about them. In consequence of these orders from above, they began by burning the great chief of the nation himself, and are continuing the pious work with as much devotion as the council of Constance felt when they condemned to the flames John Huss and Jerome of Prague. The governor is about sending a special message to try and pacify them."
PHILADELPHIA, May 22.
Yesterday arrived the ship George , capt. Hamburg , from Batavia, but last from the Cape of Good Hope, where she was detained some time by an embargo.—Through the attention of the Super-cargo we are furnished with the following minutes made on the voyage.
In the beginning of January last a British squadron consisting of three line of battle ships, one 50 gun ship, two frigates and one gun brig, under the command of commodore Sir Home Popham arrived off the Cape with 37 transport ships, containing from 8 to 10,000 troops. On the 6th and 7th the troops began to land, during which time the gun brig was sailing in and out the bay to engage the attention of the enemy. The Dutch Governor Janssen, with a regiment of Waldeckers consisting of 500, some French troops, and a couple of Dutch regiments, altogether amounting to 1600, opposed the landing of the British troops, which they had commenced on the west side of the bay, a constant firing was kept up on both sides. In the first part of the landing, the Dutch troops having some field pieces, played with great havoc upon the invaders and it was said the English suffered very considerably, but their forces momentarily augmenting by the swarms of reinforcements landing on the beach, became too potent for the feeble enemy. The Dutch con-
sequently retreated towards the town—the British by this time had landed a sufficient supply of cannon and ammunition, which they properly applied to the Dutch whilst in pursuit of them. Part of the troops took refuge in the castle, and others in valleys.
The contending parties on the 9th again met when a furious engagement ensued, the Dutch governor Janssen displayed the indefatigable courage and bravery of a heroic general, he placed his principal dependance upon the regiment of Waldeckers, they intimidated by the formidable force they found themselves engaged with, gave up all prospect of success and began to give away. The general by this movement, perceiving himself with the smallest part of the army abandoned, was obliged to sacrifice his intrepid intentions, and take the most prudent step of retreating with all possible speed—he flew among the Hottentot Mountains, but being pursued by the British, the remnant of his army were taken prisoners.—This battle continued about twenty-five minutes. It is said that the loss of the English in killed and wounded was proportionably greater than that of the Dutch, but no authentic account could be obtained.—On the 10th the Cape town capitulated to the British. A regiment of Hottentots that fought in behalf of the Dutch conducted themselves with distinguished bravery throughout the whole engagement, retaining their ground until the last moment. Gen. Beresford, second in command of the expedition, with a detachment, went in pursuit of the Dutch governor, whom they found among the Hottentots, in the interior of the country, he refused to surrender, either himself or the colony, but upon such terms as he should propose, which after some time the British in part agreed to. On the 18th they acquiesced to terms of capitulation for the surrender of the colony, which is very much in favour of the Dutch, and highly to the honour of governor Janssen. It is stipulated in one of the articles of capitulation, that in consideration of the gallant conduct of the Dutch, the troops shall be embarked and sent straight to Holland at the expense of the British government, and shall not be considered prisoners of war. The commander in chief of the expedition is sir David Beard, who is at present governor of the colony, the second in command are generals Beresford and Ferguson. The squadron consists of the Diadem of 64 guns, (commodore sir Home Popham ) capt. King; the Reasonable of 64 guns, capt. Rowley; a third ship of the line, name not known; the Narcissus frigate, captain Donnelly; the Diomedes of 50 guns, capt. Edmonds; and a gun brig of 16 guns, commanded by sir George Keith.
Governor Janssen with the Dutch troops embarked the 4th, and sailed the 6th of March for Amsterdam. Immediately after the capture of the Cape an embargo was laid upon all neutral vessels, which continued two months. This step was taken to prevent the intelligence of the capture of the Cape being carried out of the colony, as they were daily in expectation of the arrival of the French capt. Leenvoce, who, under the impression of the place being in the possession of the former owners, had sent in two British prizes, that he had captured off the Cape. The squadron alternately stretched out to sea, sending in vessels of every description that they met with. In the beginning of March they chased in a French frigate the La Volontaire ; this caused a great consternation among the inhabitants, and a terrible uneasiness with the English, the batteries and fortifications were all manned, the officers riding to and fro, in their private dress, (lest the French should discover the brilliancy of their red coats) and effecting every precautionary measure against the attack of a fleet. The frigate shortly came to an anchor in the bay, and instantly surrendered to the boarding boats. This frigate sailed from Brest with eleven line of battle ships; they fell in with some English ships, captured them and sent 200 prisoners in the La Volontaire to the Cape; (they were landed in a miserable state, most of them having the scurvy.) This frigate with five ships of the line, parted company with the eleven sail off the island of Madeira, and were destined to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope. The information excited the attention of the English with no small portion of confusion, they began to raise entrenchments along the shore; issuing proclamations, prohibiting the farmers upon the pain of death, from suffering provisions, or any other kind of supplies, voluntarily, or accidentally falling into the hands of the expected enemy. The sailing of the transports was suspended for two days; un-

certain whether it would be more to their advantage for the enemy to be acquainted with the situation of the Cape or not. Many American vessels put in this place for refreshments, when they perceived themselves completely entrapped in an embargo. Petitions for release were handed to the governor repeatedly, but were always replied in vague and indirect terms. The present state of affairs induced them to renew their request, when luckily those vessels bound to the westward had liberty to depart, and most of them sailed on the 12th March.
MARTINSBURG, June 6.
From the Norfolk Ledger.
JAMES GARNETT, Esq. has written an address to his constituents, from which we have made some extracts, which will merit the consideration of every true American. This address is written with a degree of temperance and ability, that demands attention. Mr. Garnett is a republican and represents the district composed of the counties of Caroline, Essex, King and Queen, and King William. Having stated the nature of our differences with Great Britain and the resolution offered by Mr. Gregg, Mr. Garnett observes.—
"To engage in any contest to which the resources of our country were incompetent, would be an evidence rather of madness than courage. It was no disgrace to our country to be at this time incapable of waging a commercial war with Great Britain, nor was there a shadow either of justice or reason, in charging us, for affecting this incapacity, with a partiality for England, unless the opinion which we had been hard enough to pronounce, that six American frigates were not a match for eight hundred British ships of war, could be construed as a proof of such partiality. The love of country, which prompts the glorious sacrifice both of life and fortune, would prove a curse instead of a blessing, unless accompanied by the judgment at all times to perceive our true interests, and to estimate properly our capacity to assert and maintain them.
Another objection to the proposed measure was that it could not, at one and the same time be considered, as some called it, "taking such a pacific step as could give her no offence." If the first, its ruinous tendency, we thought, had been sufficiently demonstrated. If the last, its inefficacy to cure the evils complained of, must be manifest. It was asserted that Great Britain could be coerced only by strong measures; and all we asked was, that those who propose them, would prove to us the policy and the power of using them at this time, and the capacity of the country to persevere in them. We conceived it a sufficient answer to all the arguments, used on these points, to remind gentlemen of the difference between six frigates, or twenty if they pleased, and eight hundred ships of war; and of the magnitude of the sacrifice, which we are called upon to hazard, compared to the object for which it was to be made. To the arguments urged in favour of doing something, at this time, we answered, that our minister at London was, at this very time, engaged in discussing our differences with that court; and that he had given us reason to hope he should amicably adjust them; that if any reliance could be placed in his assurance, it would be premature to do any thing whilst this negotiation was pending. If England was disposed to go to war, this measure, before it could be brought to operate upon her, might enable her to do us incalculable mischief, by the capture of our vessels, and perhaps the plunder of some of our seaport towns. On the contrary, if she was inclined to peace, any evidence of hostility on our part, might retard, but could not possibly accelerate it. Unless indeed we could presume that she feared us, which, after our conduct towards Spain, it was utterly impossible she could do. Whatever impression we might have made upon her at the first of the session, by the proposed measure, she could now be made to believe that we would persevere in this, or any other measure adopted ostensibly to coerce her, after knowing that a power, which had injured and insulted us full as much in proportion to her ability to do it, as Great Britain had done, had been treated in the manner in which we had treated Spain. After acting, apparently at least, so pusillanimously towards that nation, nothing less than an actual declaration of war, could make G. Britain believe us in earnest, in any attempt to force
her into a compliance with our wishes. We had deprived ourselves of credibility on this point, and we must take the consequences. If we had acted consistently; if the outrages of Spain had been met with the same spirit of just indignation as those of Britain, there might perhaps, have been some probability of accelerating the proposed measure, even admitting that this was the sole motive of its adoption. But when G. Britain knew (as she certainly would do from her minister here, who had our secret almost as soon as we had it ourselves) that we had acted, to all appearances at least, a dastardly part towards Spain, or rather towards France, she would not, she could not, believe us capable of any other conduct towards her.
The veil, which has heretofore concealed this part of our proceeding from the public eye, is at length removed, and I hasten to exhibit a concise statement of that transaction before that tribunal, whose right finally to decide all questions of national import, I hope will never be infringed. At the commencement of the present session, the President sent us two messages, the one public, the other confidential; the first breathing a spirit of just indignation at our wrongs, and a determination to pursue all proper means to redress them; the other certainly not contrary to the first: the public message recommending decisive measures, particularly towards Spain, with whom our negotiation had failed, and who had injured us as much to the extent of her power as Great Britain; the private message, upon which the majority of the house has determined, continued the injunction of secrecy, containing no sentiments in opposition to the public one. A committee appointed on this message, brought in a report, expressive of sentiments consentaneous to those in the first, and consequently not hostile to those in the last message. This report recommended it to Congress, to authorise the President to raise certain troops, the number of which was intended to be four thousand, for the purpose of repelling and punishing any aggressions on our frontiers: which had been violated, and which were threatened with invasion for several months previous to the battle of Trafalgar, the issue of which compelled Spain to turn her attention to another quarter. Another object for which this force was designed, was the defence and protection of our lately acquired territory, which was, and still is, entirely destitute of defence, and several hundred miles distant from the nearest western state. No offensive expedition against the Floridas, as some have falsely asserted, was either wished or intended by any of the friends of this report, as far as I heard or understood their sentiments. Nothing was more remote from our wishes than war, either with Spain or England. A large majority of the house rejected this report. In this instance, I was in the minority. A resolution, which had been previously laid upon our table, (after being rejected by the committee who brought in the report) was then offered to the house by one of the majority. This resolution proposed to appropriate two millions of dollars, ostensibly for the vague purpose of defraying any extraordinary expenses which might be incurred in our intercourse with foreign nations, but asserted to be in reality for the purchase of the Floridas. It also authorised the President to borrow the money at six per cent. without fixing any time or fund for the redemption of the debt; and proposed to continue the additional duty of two and a half per cent. on imports, commonly called the Mediterranean fund, which fund, the law creating it, declared should cease with the Tripolitan war. We proposed to specify the object, and to limit the sum. The specification was agreed to, fifty-eight voting against it; and the debt to be incurred, made redeemable at will, but the limitation was rejected, and even the specification itself afterwards struck out in the bill. Among the arguments urged to justify the measure finally adopted, it was said that these were the secret wishes of the President.
To this we answered, that though we were disposed to treat with respect opinions of the President, when officially communicated, yet even then we did not conceive ourselves under any obligation to adopt them. We considered ourselves the representatives of a free and independent people, sent here to be governed, not by men but by principles; and to yield obedience to nothing but the convictions of our own deliberate judgement. That if the President had any opinions on this subject, other than those which he had communicated, they ought to form the subject of another confidential
message. And that if this scheme for appropriating two millions towards an object not specified, was his, it was in direct contradiction to a principle, which he himself had recommended and enforced in one of his former messages. In his message to the seventh Congress, he said—"In our care too, of the public contributions entrusted to our direction, it would be prudent to multiply barriers against dissipation, by appropriating specific sums to every specific purpose susceptible of definition; by disallowing all application of money, varying from the appropriation in object, or transcending it in amount; by reducing the undefined field of contingencies, and thereby circumscribing discretionary powers over money; by bringing back to a single departmental accountability, where the examination may be prompt, efficacious, and uniform." How far this bill, appropriating two millions of dollars towards an object not specified, and giving at the same time a discretionary power to exceed that appropriation, conforms to the excellent and truly republican doctrine contained in the above extract, I shall leave the public to judge.
Amongst other arguments, in favour of specification, I must not omit the following: that if this business was to be kept secret, (and a strong effort was made to the very last to conceal it) specifying the object of the appropriation could do no possible injury—whilst it would fix the responsibility on the President, where it ought to be. That although we had no disposition to doubt for a moment the disposition of that officer, to apply the money in the way intended; yet that law, and not confidence, was, and ought, forever to be the rule in all practicable cases under which we should act towards him. The right to make appropriations of money in secret, was also denied, as a practice calculated to destroy one of the most efficient checks, which the people had over their representatives. But the objection which appeared to us most important and indeed insuperable, was the apparent disgrace of the proposed measure. For whatever might be said, respecting the policy of acquiring the Floridas; the advantage of which we did not deny; yet the appropriation of money to buy them, under existing circumstances, must, and would be considered, as in the highest degree pusillanimous and disgraceful. The true motives of those gentlemen who were in favor of purchasing the Floridas, however pure they might be, could not be known abroad, but would be inferred from the known facts. These facts must inevitably produce an unfavourable inference, whether it was true or not, and the consequence to our country, would be as fatal from this conclusion, although it might happen to be false; if it was fairly deducible from the true motives of those who supported this measure. For it had frequently been declared on the floor of Congress, and none had denied it, that France had threatened us with war, if we came to a rupture with Spain; that Spain was not averse to an accommodation of our differences, but that France would not suffer her to make it, unless money was used as the means of propitiation. That France had intimated her willingness to interfere upon this condition, and had given assurances, that Spain should do what we wished on these terms. Under these circumstances we contended, that whether gentlemen were governed by fear of France; or really preferred purchasing the Floridas, to an exchange of territory (which was the only thing we could consent to Spain) if money was thus appropriated, it would, and must be understood, not only by France, but by the world, as the effect of intimidation; and that the necessary consequence of such a belief abroad, must be the entire prostration of our national character. The day after this bill passed, which was on the 18th of January, dispatches from our minister at London were sent to us, which had been received before Christmas. These dispatches several members declared would have changed their vote, if they had seen them in time; whilst others affirmed that they served to confirm them in the propriety of their's.
From the above statement, it must be evident, what connection our conclave transactions (which were all known to two at least of the foreign ministers here, notwithstanding the injunction of secrecy) had with our proceedings toward Great Britain. The insults and the injuries of Spain, were to be met with money—apparently—if not in reality, given to France, to purchase her mediation. The insults and the injuries of Great Britain, by commercial restrictions, calculated as we thought ourselves, justified in believing, (if Mr. Pitt had lived,) to produce at least an aggravation of those insults and injuries—if not war.
Restrictions too, which in their operations at home, would amount, as we believed, almost to a total sacrifice of the agricultural, to the commercial interests of our country. Uniformity and consistency of conduct towards both nations, were necessary in order to produce any effect upon either. If the coercion of Great Britain was to be attempted, our conduct towards Spain should have been firm and decisive. But admitting that we had acted towards Spain as was right, which I can never be induced to think, consistency required, at least a suspension of our proceedings towards Great Britain, until we could hear the result of our minister's negotiation with her. The sole object of which negotiation was the redress of those very grievances, of which we at present complained."

JOHN ALBURTIS, Has it in contemplation, if sufficiently patronized, to print an elegant edition of Addresses to Young Men, By JAMES FORDYCE, And for that purpose submits the following proposals to the consideration of all who feel for the welfare of the present and rising generation, whose happiness these Addresses are so admirably calculated to promote.
TERMS: The above Addresses shall be printed with an elegant and entirely new type, on good paper, in an octavo form, and will contain about 500 pages. They shall be neatly bound and lettered for $2 25—or $2 half bound, payable on delivery of the work. They shall be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained, and finished without delay.
TO THE PUBLIC.
The present publisher, as a member of that class of the community, to which this highly valuable work is addressed, recommends it particularly to his young brethren—but every person who feels for the good of his country, and for the welfare of society, he doubts not, will consider it a duty to patronize a work of this kind.
The dispositions and manners of Young Men may be regarded as of the greatest consequence both to the present and future generations—An intercourse with those of worthy manners and dignified deportment, is evidently, much more efficacious in moulding the minds and directing the actions of others, than the highest authority, or the wisest example, of age. How deeply society will be affected, by the connections which Young Men shall form, and by the conduct which they shall hold, as they advance, it is not difficult to imagine; nor can it be necessary to prove, that, as the behaviour of individuals in their early days gives for the most part a turn to the rest, so from the character of our Youth in general, we may prognosticate favourably, or otherwise, concerning our own times, and those that shall more immediately succeed them.
The above work, tho' more particularly addressed to, and intended for, the improvement of the minds of Young Men, inculcates principles that would add dignity to age,—and be ornamental to the nature of either sex. To persons acquainted with the author and his writings, any recommendation that could be offered, would be superfluous; but to those unacquainted with both, it may be proper to observe, that the work here offered, has stood the test of time and experience, and has been universally extolled by the virtuous of every sect and country where it has been read.
It would be a valuable present from a parent to a child, and for which they may expect remuneration in the rational improvement made in the minds of their progeny.
To complete this work, in a style that will do it justice, will subject the publisher to very considerable expense; but he doubts not but he shall be compensated for his expense and trouble, as every one will acknowledge, that the dissemination of books of this kind are an actual good to the community at large, and will therefore feel disposed to patronize it—for this purpose all who feel inclined to do so are invited to the Office of the Intelligencer, Martinsburg.
