The Editor of this Paper having received a new font of Letter from London, offers for sale the font of Bourgeois which has been lately used for the Publick Ledger; it originally contained 600 lb. has been used little more than two years, and with care.—A specimen of this Letter may be seen by referring to our editorial articles for some time past.

LEDGER-OFFICE, October 13th, 1806.
THE EDITOR of this paper, has received a letter from a friend in Bordeaux, dated the 17th of August, of which he offers his readers an extract, and he ventures to assure them, that the writer is a person of intelligence, and respectability.
"I have had it in contemplation for some days past, to address you on the subject of the pending negotiations, between England and this country.—They lately assumed a character, strongly indicative of an approaching peace; but the rumours have been so various and contradictory, and the sources of our information so obscure and suspicious, that I deemed it useless to offer intelligence, of which I could not guarantee the authenticity. At the beginning of this month, the opinions of all classes of people were so universally in favour of peace, that preparations were absolutely made to receive and welcome the courier who was hourly expected to appear, and announce its conclusion. This impression was strengthened by the arrival of Lord Lauderdale at Calais, on the 3d instant, and at Paris on the 5th, and the erroneous reports of the frigate who brought him over having exchanged a salute of 21 guns with the battery of the former place, and of his lordship having been presented to the emperor on the 6th at the court of the Thuilleries. The first of these reports originated from the circumstance of the frigate having fired 15 guns when Lord Lauderdale and his secretaries, Mers. Stuart and Madison, came from along side. I do not know to what cause the report of his presentation at court is to be attributed. A very intelligent and well informed correspondent wrote me on the 10th inst. from Paris, stating that Lord Lauderdale had been closeted three hours on the preceding evening with Mr. Champagny, minister of the Interior, and general Clarke, who enjoys the highest credit at the Court of St. Cloud. The result of this meeting was very different from what was at first conjectured. The object of the interview was to remove the obstacles which still divided the two Cabinets, but so far from its accomplishment, the breach is said to have been widened, and the official communication we have this day received from Paris, under date of the 13th inst. confirms this opinion. I transmit you herewith a copy of the note published by government, and extracted from the Moniteur of the 13th. It alludes to several important political events, but particularly to the ratification of the peace with Russia, the acknowledgment of the king of Holland and Naples, and Duke of Cleves and Berg, by the emperor of Austria and king of Prussia, and to the causes of the interruption of the negotiations between France and Great Britain. If I was to make a conjecture on the latter circumstance, I should attribute it to this government's insisting on some relaxation on the maritime jurisprudence of England. It is very possible that one or the other governments may publish the correspondence in which their respective interests and pretensions have been discussed, to render the publick the arbiter of the justice and moderation of their conduct. Sales in colonial produce have been almost entirely suspended for the last three weeks, in consequence of the apprehension of peace. Three days ago, however, a large speculation was made in Coffee for a house in Paris, who doubtless had early information of the interruption of the negotiations. Martinique Coffee which was selling before the appearance of peace at 63 and 64 sous, was bought at 56 and 57. 800 bales of Bourbon was sold at 55 sous, which a month ago was worth 61 1/2 sous.—Business will not resume its activity before Lord Lauderdale leaves Paris. He is said to have demanded his passports which were not immediately granted—and it is asserted that he dispatched a courier to London on the 12th inst."
* According to established etiquette, Lord Lauderdale could not be presented to the Emperor until after a treaty was signed; so says Journal de l'Empire of the 12th of Aug. † Published in our Supplement of yesterday.
The two Egises .—To-day we received another request to alter our address to one of the Egis editors once more. Each of these two democratick papers persists in its maintaining exclusive claim to be the true Egis . Among other ludicrous perplexities in which this obstinacy involves them both, not the least laughable, is a squabble every morning at the Post-Office for exchange papers. Those who exchange with them being desirous of gratifying both and taking part with neither, direct their papers "National Egis " "Original Egis " "Genuine Egis " "Real Egis ," and such papers are claimed
and stoutly fought for by both; then there is another set directed to "False Egis " "Spurious Egis " "Other Egis ," &c. and these are readily relinquished by both. Fine fun this for the mischievous-loving federalists in Worcester. Y. York Ev. Post.
The following extract of a letter from London, will be found interesting, in regard to the doctrine of the British courts, in adjudicating American vessels:
"We have now to inform you of the restitution of the Union and cargo, on our paying the captor's expenses. The judge, Sir William Scott, would not consider the voyage from Batavia to Philadelphia connected with the outward one from Amsterdam, and he whole question with the court was respecting the property; and though there was in his opinion strong evidence of its true nature, yet as the persons from whom this evidence was received, had been engaged in a colourable transaction (alluding to clearing out for Tranquebar) in a former part of the business, he did not consider it improper to refer the case for further proof, if wished for by the captors. With respect to that part of the cargo shipped on account of the George, he ordered immediate restitution. Upon this the king's advocate offered to restore ship and cargo on paying the captor's expenses (which the court agreed to, and restitution was ordered accordingly)." Ibid.
WESTERN INTELLIGENCE.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the country of Rapide, Orleans Territory, to his friend in Philadelphia.
RAPIDE, on Red River, Aug. 25, 1806.
SIR, The governor of the territory passed this place on Friday last, on his way to Natchitoches, where nothing but our weakness has prevented us from attacking the Spaniards, who are said to be erecting works near the Adaiés. The evil effects of our present relaxed administration are now felt, as the militia in the neighbourhood of the probable seat of warfare is unorganized, unprovided with arms, and from the total neglect of them and their interests since the American government took possession of that country, are supposed to be the best attached to it of all the people of Louisiana. Such of us as had an idea that hostilities might take place, now begin to change our opinion, as we knew the governor (fond of imitating the reigning powers) will rather negotiate than fight. Although we ought in conscience to support the ground we have taken in order not to be laughed at after the blustering and threatening, yet I would venture to assert we shall give up the point in dispute for the moment, if the governor can prevail upon the commanding officer at Natchitoches to follow his advice rather than persist in our attempt to compel the Spaniards to fall back to where they were driven by our troops in February last. The governor has been long desirous of showing his talents for negotiation, and for that purpose has wished for the appointment of a consul general at Algiers (not for the purpose of forming a seraglio as the wicked boys who frequent government house, and to whom he unbosoms himself assert) but to show his native spirit and energy; and he will have on the present occasion a fair opportunity of displaying it, and convincing the incredulous how well qualified he is for a place, to which every true American in the territory wishes for the good of it, he had been long since fairly and safely removed. I shall keep you advised of events in this neighbourhood as they occur, we being here only 25 leagues from Natchitoches, and having almost daily communications with it. Martineau, a lately imported Frenchman from Europe, and now resident here, has shown himself very impudent and forgetful of the protection he has enjoyed among us. I hope his conduct will draw his excellency's animadversion at least upon him, when his other more important concerns will permit him to attend to it.—We are informed that three of the four companies now at Fort Adams, in the Mississippi territory, and captain Bowyer's company at Opelousas, have received orders to march to Natchitoches, and when they arrive, our effective force there will amount to at least five hundred men. The Spaniards already on this side the territory amount to at least fifteen hundred without including Indians, a great many of whom they have at their devotion. Our party under Mr. Freeman are said to have been overtaken by the Spaniards and forced to return to Natchitoches.
From the Kentucky Gazette.
Squally Appearances.—By Mr. Robert Barr, just arrived from Orleans, we learn that the night before he passed Natchez, (the 24th Aug.) Mr. Tharpe arrived at that place from Fort Adams with information, that an express had just arrived at the latter place from Natchitoches, ordering all the American troops up to that place.—The express related that the Spanish troops amounting to about 900 men, had crossed the Sabine river, and had approached within a few miles of Natchitoches where they were entrenched themselves. Communication had taken place between col. Cushing and the commanders of the Spanish troops, in which they related that their intentions were peaceable—that they intended no act of hostility towards the Americans; but expressing at the same time, intention of maintaining their position, and the possession of the country behind them. It was understood that our troops would attempt to drive them off, as soon as col. Cushing should receive a reinforcement; and it was thought the militia of Louisiana would be immediately called out. Considerable anxiety was felt for some of our troops (about 150 in number) who were higher up Red River, as the communication between them and Natchitoches was cut off by the Spaniards.
Mr. Barr confirms the account given by Dr. Sibley, of capt. Freeman with the exploring party, being stopped.
By this day's mail we shall probably receive further particulars.
General Wilkinson left St. Louis the 21st August for New Orleans—his arrival was expected between the 8th and 10th September.
The American troops on the Sabine, it is understood, will remain in statu quo till the commander in chief arrive—which could not be before the 20th September.
Captain Freeman's expedition has returned. A Natchez paper of September 2, says—"An intelligent non-commissioned officer from the exploring party of Mr. Freeman, arrived in this city yesterday morning, with letters. We have not had an opportunity of conversing with him—but learn from a gentleman who made particular enquiries—that he states—"that a party of Spanish cavalry, supposed 1000 in number, had approached within seven miles of the post of Natchitoches, and sent a message to the commanding officer requiring him to remove to this side of the Red River—but that in consequence of scarcity of provisions and a sudden mortality occurring in their camp, by which a number of men died, the Spanish commanding officer thought proper to make a retrograde movement across the Sabine."—We did not learn whether col. Cushing had replied to the absurd requisition of the Don."
We state with pleasure, says the same paper, that spirited exertions are now making towards the organization of a uniformed volunteer company of infantry in this city, who intend offering their services to the executive, to assist in repelling or chastising any insult which may be offered either to our territory or government.—From a knowledge of the characters who have already associated themselves in this company, and those expected to join it, we hazard nothing in asserting that they bid fair soon to rival any volunteer company in the United States.
From the Western World.
THE KENTUCKY SPANISH ASSOCIATION, BLOUNT'S CONSPIRACY, AND GENERAL MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION.
(Continued from the Ledger of Oct. 3.)
In the preceding numbers, a variety of incidents have been adduced, to substantiate the existence of an association formed in the state of Kentucky to the interest of the Spanish government. Before we proceed farther in this important investigation, several concurring causes render it necessary, that we briefly sketch the outlines of the plan at present in agitation to effect the separation of the Union. But to render this scheme more intelligent, it is proper that we relate the various changes and modifications which have happened in the views of the conspirators, from the year 1788, when the conferences between Wilkinson and Giozzo, and John Brown with Don Gardoque, took place until the present day.
The United States have, and always will be, so long as European intrigue exists, and Gold influences the mind of man, in some degree affected by the views and talents of the different foreign ministers who reside among us. Previous to the French revolution, these diplomatic spies composed a triumvirate, not indeed acting in concert; but pulling the government of the union towards their respective courts, with the various energy of their several powers. Since however, the remarkable era of 1789, the diplomatic orders of the Don were no longer to issue from the secret council of his Catholic majesty, but from the corrupted hearts of Robespierre and Talleyrand, to aid the tricks of citizens Terent, Genet, Fauchet, Adet, and Monsieur Pichon and Turreau, opposed to the intrigues of Sir John Temple, Hammond, Liston, Thornton, and the weak and lifeless Merry.
A short review, therefore, of the designs of these foreign actors, and their leading associates in America, will enable us with much more facility to lay before our readers the principal changes which have occurred to our view of the Kentucky Spanish Association.
The formation of the Federal constitution, happening at the same period as the French revolution, gave the first mortal stab to the negotiation of Wilkinson and Brown. Soon after this citizen Terent commenced his system of financial intrigue; but being conceived too great a friend to monarchy, he was supplanted by the clamorous Genet. The operations of this gentleman on his arrival in the United States, are so notorious as to require no repetition here. Another speculating revolutionist had however landed in America some years before the French revolution, viz. Albert Gallatin, the present secretary of the Treasury. Tossed about from his infancy in the cradle of political commotion, at Geneva, he at length sought the woods of America in company with Mr. Savary of Kentucky, to acquire that wealth and fame which the small territories of his native state denied to him. Having for some time after his arrival taught as an assistant in some of the northern colleges, he removed to Virginia, and at Richmond became acquainted with Henry Banks, Esq. a gentleman of literary talents, and then engaged in a considerable land purchase. Mr. Banks employed him as a surveyor in the back parts of Virginia, and in this capacity he acquired landed property to a great extent. He afterwards retired to the back counties of Pennsylvania, where he disseminated those principles which there originated the idea of a separation of the states. This scheme was fostered and encouraged by Genet, transmitted to Kentucky, and adopted by many of the members of the Kentucky association in lieu of the alliance with Spain—Wilkinson and three or four of his friends excepted. Genet at New-York, contracted an intimacy with col. Burr, which soon however, was broken off by the connexion that he formed with the Clinton family, who were always uniformly opposed to Burr; and it is even suspected that the recall of Genet was in some measure occasioned by the communication made by Burr to some of his correspondents in Paris. The plan of Genet was to revolutionize Louisiana and the Floridas, and to unite them with Kentucky and the western territories, as one republick, to be in alliance with France. The great opposition to the project of Genet came however from the late gen. Hamilton, who united himself with the leading federal characters in the New England states, not only to frustrate the intentions of Genet, but even to destroy the interests of the western country, and force back those settlers that had emigrated, to the Atlantick states, to these endeavours of the federal party, Fauchet the successor of Genet, alludes in his dispatch to the commissioner of foreign relations in France, dated the 31st of October, 1794.
"In touching this last point, we attain the principal complaint of the western people, and the ostensible motive of their movements. Republicans by principle, independent by character & situation, they could not but accede with enthusiasm, to the criminations which we have sketched. But the excise above all affects them. Their lands are fertile, watered with the finest rivers in the world; but the abundant fruits of their labour, run the risk of perishing for the means of exchanging them, as those more happy cultivators do for objects which desire indicates to all men who have known only the enjoyments which all Europe procures them. They therefore convert the excess of their produce into liquors, imperfectly fabricated, which badly supply the
place of those they might procure by exchange.—The excise is created, and strikes the consoling transformation; their complaints are answered by the only pretext that they are otherwise inaccessible to every species of impost. But why, in contempt of treaties, are they left to bear the yoke of the feeble Spaniard, as to the Mississippi, for upwards of twelve years? Since when has an agricultural people submitted to the unjust capricious law of a people explorers of the precious metals? Might we not suppose that Madrid and Philadelphia mutually assisted in prolonging the slavery of the river? that the proprietors of a barren coast are afraid lest the Mississippi once opened, and its numerous branches brought into activity, their fields might become deserts, and in a word, that commerce dreads having rivals in those interior parts as soon as their inhabitants shall cease to be subjects? This last supposition is but too well founded: an influential member of the senate, Mr. Izard one day in conversation undisguisedly announced it to me."
Whenever we mention the term federal characters , we trust we will be understood, as only alluding to that class of men who advocated and supported the measures of the late president Adams, and particularly the Alien and Sedition laws. Those men agreeable to our prospectus, we must ever oppose as having voted for measures, diametrically opposite to the spirit of the constitution, which we have pledged ourselves to support. But such was the unhappy situation of the western people at this period, that on one hand they were encouraged to insurrection by the French emissaries; while on the other, they were threatened by fire, sword and poverty by the secretary of the treasury, at the head of an army of fifteen thousand men. The venerable patriot of Virginia then secretary of State; who exerted all his endeavours to preserve the union in a state of happiness and quiet, came the victim of both parties, of French Jesuitry and Hamiltonian intrigue; but even the instrument of his destruction, was forced to confess the purity of his motive. "The pacific part (says Fauchet) and the sending of commissioners are due to the influence of Mr. Randolph over the president, whom I delight always to believe, truly virtuous, and the friend of his fellow citizens and principles." But the interference of Mr. Randolph has not yet been forgotten by the Genevan Financier, who probably expected to have seen the three coloured cockade flying on the forts of the Mississippi. The rigid and scrupulous exactness with which he examined the treasury accounts of Mr. Randolph, but ill accords with the paper headed " provision for the purchase of Florida ," which with his " characteristic caution ," he put a few months since into the hand of Mr. John Randolph, to barter away two millions of dollars for the citizens of the United States.
Citizen Adet, who succeeded Fauchet, laboured to produce the same effect, a separation of the states; but this project was extended to a much greater scale by Talleyrand, who during a residence in America matured the scheme and organised a company of agents gradually to carry it into execution. It had been expected in Paris, that col. Burr was to have been the successful candidate for president of the United States. Pichon the late French resident at the city of Washington, related this to several, and in particular to a French gentleman at present living in Philadelphia. Had this event taken place as was contemplated, probably before now the Allegany Ridge would have been the boundary of the United States. Of the various ambassadors or envoys from France, Pichon may be regarded as one of the most integrity who has resided in America; but a character of this description was not suitable to the views of Buonaparte and Talleyrand. He was therefore recalled, and the infamous Turreau sent in his place, one of the most abandoned wretches the French revolution has produced. The savage barbarity which he displayed when commander of the troops in the Vendee, has been recorded by every French journalist. In the short period of four weeks, he depopulated by fire and sword, one of the most populous countries in France, to the extent of 160 leagues "not a house, (says the secret history of St. Cloud) not a college, not a tree was spared, all was reduced to ashes, and the unfortunate inhabitants, who had not perished amid the ruin of the dwellings, were shot or stabbed while attempting to save themselves from the conflagration." Even at the seat of the American government, Turreau is not ashamed to display his cruelty on the unhappy female whom fate has put in his power. Scarcely a week is said to pass, that the unfortunate Madam Turreau is not compelled to seek refuge from the humanity of some of the citizens of Washington.
Such have been the characters and views of the several French envoys that have resided among us from 1789 until the present day. Dangerous however as their intrigues have been they were not inferior to those practised by the diplomatic agents of the British cabinet, to whom we shall now turn our attention.
The first of these diplomatic characters whom we shall notice, is George Hammond. This minister plenipotentiary from Great Britain was a man of immense low intrigue, but destitute of real talents. He and several of the federal members in Congress as likewise the late general Hamilton were one and indivisible. Previous to the ratification of Jay's treaty, col. Connolly's plan of uniting Kentucky and the western territories to the Canadas was in agitation, and we are assured even received the approbation of gen. Hamilton, and many of the eastern federalists, who were alarmed at the emigration which was then taking place from the Atlantic states, and imagined if the Allegany Ridge, was the boundary between the Union and the British territories, that the harmony of the states could be more easily preserved. The machinations which Hammond was carrying on in the western countries, are even noticed by Fauchet in his certificate to Edmund Randolph. Fauchet says, "he said (Edmund Randolph) to me that he was afraid that a civil war would soon ravage America. I enquired of him what new information was procured. He said that he began to believe that in fact the English were really fomenting the insurrection, and that he did not doubt, that Mr. Hammond and his Congress would push some measures with respect to the insurrection, with an intention of giving embarrassment to the United States." This we must believe as true, for although it comes from Fauchet, had it been false, Mr. Randolph would certainly have contradicted it.—But the character of Mr. Hammond cannot be better described than in Mr. Randolph's own words. "Who was Mr. Hammond? In speaking of him too, I shall confine myself to his political

demeanor. Into his breast had been transfused the largest portions of his nation's hatred to all persons in the United States, who were conceived to be attached to France. He denied to himself no opportunity of throwing an odium on them. You never will forget, sir, his long, insolent and contumelious neglect of the ordinary civilities, due from him, as foreign minister, to yourself (Washington) as chief magistrate. You were no stranger to his personal irritation against me, for my friendship to France, for my remonstrance against governor Simcoe's invasion; for my defence of the government of Rhode-Island, in reclaiming the citizens of the United States, impressed and detained on board of the British ship Nautilus; and for the order, which in its operation ought to have prevented British ships of war from using our ports as stations, from whence to prey upon the French. You often uttered your indignation at his many complaints, without a shadow of proof; and the lengths to which he might be transported by the violence of his passions, were not easy to be defined. Was this the man to be implicitly trusted for candour toward myself, or any friends to France?"
Mr. Randolph from the official station and the confidence which gen. Washington reposed in him; we have reason to believe, was well acquainted with the proceedings of the Kentucky Spanish Association, as likewise the plan of Conolly; and we hope that his candour and integrity, will not permit him to pass over such important circumstances in the history of Virginia, in which he is at present engaged.
The successor to Hammond was Robert Liston, a man of equal intrigue, but of infinite more talent. The history of this ambassador will be particularly detailed when we come to treat of Blount's conspiracy. The intimacy which existed between him and president Adams is well known; and the support which he received from the federalists, proves, that there was a combination formed in the United States to bring their citizens entirely into the influence of British power. Perhaps under these circumstances we ought to regard it as an act of providence, that an association existed, whose object was the separation of the union in favour of France; for the views of the two parties being so opposite, happily preserved a balance and prevented that calamity which might have taken place, had one of them been annihilated.
We trust however, and have reason to believe, and that the execrable schemes practised in the United States, by the emissaries of the administration of Pitt and Melville, have terminated with the death of the unfortunate Pierce . The murder of this man appears to have been the dying effort of the Barclay party at New York to set the U. States at war with Great Britain.—The scene however is now changed, and when we behold the man who fought for the independence of America in the Senate of Great Britain, at this day conducting the helm of the ocean, we have every thing to hope, and nothing to fear.
The elevation of Mr. Jefferson to the presidency of the United States, it is true, gave a considerable blow to federal policy, and federal intrigue, but it was out of the power of Mr. Jefferson to prevent the importation of British gold; and so long as this powerful magnet over the human mind, was in free circulation in the Atlantick towns, and even not a stranger in the house of congress; it was in vain to expect a total suppression of that system, which characterised and blasted the reign of the president Adams.
The person whom Mr. Fox has marked out as ambassador to the United States, is one too, whose family for the last ten years has experienced the scourge of Mr. Pitt, and even has felt something of the vindictive and phlegmatic selfishness of American federalism. It is well known that the late Lord Dear, the elder brother of the present Earl Selkirk, who is to succeed Mr. Merry, was one of the martyrs of the Edinburgh convention.—Sunk in sorrow, at the fate of his unfortunate companions, Muir, Palmer, and Skirving, he abandoned his title and embarked for America; but the agents of Dundas were even to pursue him in the United States, and New-York and Philadelphia were rendered equally disagreeable as his native country. He stayed but a few months, and died immediately after his return to Scotland, at the age of 29, of a mind hurried and broken in the whirlpool of political persecution. His brother, the present Earl of Selkirk, at the disease of his father, which happened soon after, sold great part of his estate, and emigrated with about twelve hundred industrious Scotch labourers to Upper Canada, whom he comfortably settled at his own expense. The intention of the Selkirk family, had the fate of Lord Dear not deterred them, was to have removed to some of the western territories of the union, the climate of which would have been much more congenial than Canada. Under these circumstances the prospect of the British federalists in America, is not so promising as it has been. Barclay at New-York, and Col. Hamilton at Norfolk, if we are not mistaken, will find it more agreeable to embark with the Marquis Yrujo, and the Rev. John Mason May, when he pleases petition his brother-in-law John Brown, to have him appointed confessor to her Catholic Majesty.
It therefore must appear from what we have stated, that the original design of the Kentucky Spanish association, has been entirely abandoned. The views of the conspirators are no longer to unite with Spain; but to form Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, the Louisianas, and the Floridas into one independent government. The advocates for this measure, differ however in one point. The majority are for effecting this measure by calling a convention of the people and obtaining the consent of congress; but a considerable number, and particularly those who at present reside in the western territories are for effecting their purpose by force of arms. The views of the latter may be perceived by the perusal of a series of essays under the signature of Coriolanus, that appeared in the Morning Chronicle of New-York, in 1802 and 1803, which we know were originally sketched on this side of the Allegany, and have good reason to believe came from the pen of gen. Wilkinson himself, who communicated them to col. Burr, who in conjunction with col. Humphreys and Dr. Brown altered and amended them. This Dr. Brown is no relation to John Brown. He always resided at New-York until within these eighteen months, when he removed to St. Louis, having been appointed secretary to gen. Wilkinson. During the presidential and state elections he was an active partizan of col. Burr. When the election of presidency was pending he
wrote two or three essays in Lang's New-York Gazette, recommending Burr as president in preference to Jefferson. In the summer of 1802 he wrote also a series of essays under the signature of Brutus, which appeared we believe in the New-York Daily Advertiser, and were directed against De Witt Clinton. In the fall of 1803, an able defence of col. Burr was drawn up by Dr. Brown and Dr. Peter Irving, the editor of the Morning Chronicle, under the signature of Aristides, and this is the last of Dr. Brown's literary labours, if we except the letters of Coriolanus, of which we know.
The intention and desire in 1802 were to take possession of Louisiana by force of arms; and having once the command of an army to erect all the western territories into what form of government as might best please the fancy of the leaders. But the apology which they make speaks for itself. It is the concluding paragraph of the number of Coriolanus published in the Chronicle, December 23d, 1802.
"To think of separating from the union must no doubt produce very painful sensations; but what else will be left for them? What must be their decision when the French governor of New-Orleans offers them the freedom of navigation, if they will consider themselves as part of his establishment and consent to be enrolled as dependant provinces of Louisiana? Will not the same spirit which unfolded itself in a late meeting of the people of that district when convened to form a constitution, again break out, and utter sentiments hostile to the combined interest of our country, and insulting to our government? It will, and the people will have no other alternative left. They must, however painful the task, join the detached consular government, for the purpose of obtaining that trade, which will be refused them as citizens of the United States, but which will be granted to them as members of the district of Louisiana. The western boundary of the United States will then be the Allegany mountains and the secretary of the treasury may begin to make new fiscal calculations for the payment of the national debt, to make good the defalcations arising from the dismemberment of the U. States; the money arising from the sale and future settlement of the Yazoo, Georgia, and Kentucky district, will then flow into the military chest of the first consul of France, and not into the treasury of the United States as has been wisely and originally arranged."
In the Morning Chronicle of the 18th February, 1803, Coriolanus sketches the plan of the military force which he recommends to congress should be raised for taking possession of Louisiana, and a very pretty military force it was, to be entrusted to gen. Wilkinson; not less than forty three thousand, one hundred and sixty rank and file! In imitation of the emperor Napoleon, he styles them "National Legions." Here follows the plan of the legions.
"The general and staff of a complete legion, embracing the necessary component parts of an army, should consist of one brigadier general, two aid-de-camps, with the rank of majors, one inspector and adjutant general, with the rank of colonel commandant, one quarter-master, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, one commissary, one paymaster and clothier, with the rank of captain, one judge advocate, one chaplain, one surgeon, two mates."
"Two full legionary regiments to consist of two colonel commandants, two aids to rank as captains, four lieutenant-colonels, eight majors, thirty-two second lieutenants, four adjutants with the rank of first lieutenants, four sergeant majors, four quarter-master sergeants, one hundred and sixty non-commissioned officers, two signal trumpets, and two signal bugle horns, mounted, four drum and fife majors, sixty drums and files, three thousand two hundred rank and file."
"Two battalions of legionary riflemen to consist of one lieut. col. commandant, one adjutant with the rank of first lieut. two majors, eight captains, eight first lieutenants, eight second lieutenants, two sergeants, forty non-commissioned officers, one signal trumpet, two signal horns, mounted, one drum and fife major, sixteen drums and files, eight hundred rank and file."
"Two companies of light dragoons—one major commandant, two captains, four first lieutenants, four second lieutenants, two cornets, one adjutant, one sergeant major, one quarter-master sergeant, ten non-commissioned officers, two trumpets, two bugle horns, two farriers, two saddlers, and one hundred and twenty-eight dragoons."
"Two companies of artillery, one major, two captains, two captain lieutenants, four lieutenants, one adjutant, one sergeant major, one quarter-master sergeant, ten sergeants, four drums and files, twenty-four artificers armed as infantry, one hundred and four matrosses, eight brass six pounders, four 6 3/4 inch howitzers currie carriages, four grass hoppers, two travelling forges, four ammunition waggons, and two light tumbrils."
"One company of sappers and miners, competent to the duty of field engineers."
"One captain, two captain lieutenants, two lieutenants."
"One cadet, five sergeants, one drum and fife, six to four rank and file—one waggon with entrenching tools."
Coriolanus in the Chronicle of January 1st, 1803, exclaims.
"Where is the spirit of seventy-six? Where have our patriots and heroes fled? Will our government commit itself in the first instance to cob-web negotiations, to a flimsy faith, when an event, when a revolution as extraordinary as that of France itself is under issue."
"Let us rouse at once, and at the head of our existing troops, possess New-Orleans and Mobile, then we shall be in a situation to negotiate."
In another paragraph dated 27th Dec. 1802, Coriolanus says, "Kentucky has the advantage of invasion; and she no doubt will use it, if unsupported by the union; she moves alone to the combat; she is situated on waters rapidly descending to the point of attack; she will overwhelm Orleans and West Florida with promptitude and ease; she will move like the northern hordes of Europe overwhelming the German empire; she will conquer, colonize and firmly settle and transmit the soil to her latest posterity. If unaided by the troops and navy of the union, she will conquer by and for herself, and no power can prevent, check, or even disturb her conquest."

We are happy in being able to state that lords Holland and Auckland are just appointed Plenipotentiaries, in order to negotiate with Messrs. Pinckney and Munro, concerning the difficulties which

BERLIN, August 13. Military preparations are constantly going on in the Prussian fortresses and provinces: all the boats between Magdeburg and frontiers of Saxony have been put in requisition for the service of troops; even the generals Blucher, Hohenlohe, Rachel and Prince Lewis Ferdinand are named as intended to command armies. It is the more difficult to conjecture the object of the preparations, as we no longer see any enemies of Prussia, since there is talk of a reconciliation with Sweden.
STUTTGARD, 20th August. Our court has just published a Note stating that at the time of the exchange of the ratification of the treaty of the Confederacy of the Rhine (which change took place the 27th July & the subsequent days at Munich,) Mr. de Cothermer, envoy of Wirttemberg to the king of Bavaria, delivered to the Ministers of all the contracting parties a formal protestation against the cession of Tuttlingen; the said ministers accepted that protestation, which was delivered to them with the instrument of the ratification exchanged, and which is dated from Stuttgart, of the 24th July, signed by the king, and countersigned by the minister of state. It stated in substance: "that the Treaty of the 12th July requires of his majesty the cession of the town of Tuttlingen, and of its dependencies, situated on the right bank of the Danube; but that by virtue of the obligations contracted by his Wirttemberg majesty at his accession to the government of his States, he cannot subscribe to the alienation of a part of his ancient domains. His majesty declares in consequence that, in no case, will he consent to this cession. He further declares, that he is disposed to indemnify the Grand Duke of Baden, relative to Tuttlingen and its dependencies, by another district which shall be agreed upon."
HESSE-CASSEL, Aug. 14. The Northern Powers are now very actively employed, on the affairs concerning a new Constitution for Germany. As soon as the Russian minister at Berlin shall have received from Petersburg the necessary full powers, these changes will advance towards their conclusion. The counsellor of state Oubril carried the project of it to Petersburg. It is said that the chef-d'œuvre of this confederation will be fixed at Hamburg. The Towns, till now imperial, will thus naturally lose their sovereignty: it is asserted that the duke of Brunswick is intended to be Primate of the above confederation. Our elector is not expected to return here until after the basis of this confederation be fixed on at Berlin, and the arrival of the reply of the Russian Cabinet in this Capital, where it is expected before the 24th instant.

The superiority of this Scheme to the one first proposed, is so obvious, that little need be said in recommendation of it. Those inclined to adventure, will see that their chance for obtaining prizes is greatly increased; that pending the drawing, their small prizes may be immediately invested in other tickets, thereby giving them a chance for prizes of considerable magnitude. To those who have drawn prizes of 15 dolls. in the First Class, as well as to those who have drawn blanks, information is now given, that the prizes may at their own option be renewed by tickets in this Class, and their blanks also, but upon the payment in the latter case of 10 dollars with each blank, provided such prizes and blanks, with the cash, be remitted free of postage, to Robt. Greenhow, merchant, in Williamsburg, agent and treasurer, or to William Newsum, Post-Master, in Norfolk, previous to the commencement of the drawing, after which period no renewal will be made. When to the prospect of individual advantage that may result to each adventurer, is added the patriotic reasons which induced the legislature to authorise this Lottery, it is ardently hoped that the disposition of tickets, will soon enable the commissioners to certify, that the drawing has commenced; which event, the agent assures the public, shall be expedited by every means in his power.
