By a Gentleman from St. Thomas we are obligingly informed of some circumstances respecting the defeat of the Haytians before the city of St. Domingo, by the garrison under command of the brave Ferrand; who on this occasion it is said displayed all the qualifications of a consummate general, and all the firm intrepidity of real courage.
When the negro army appeared off the city, and were in a condition to attack it, a summons was sent, to the following purport:—“JEAN JACQUES, the first, Emperor of Hayti, to General FERRAND, Commanding a division of the troops of the French Republick—As it is inconsistent with the laws and independence of the Empire, that any portion of the French army should be allowed to remain in the island, General Ferrand is summoned to surrender the city of St. Domingo in twenty-four hours; if at the end of that time the city shall not be evacuated, it will be delivered to plunder, and all the inhabitants thereof be put to the sword”—It being difficult to procure any person who would risk the delivery of a suitable answer to this demand, the Commandant ordered three cannon shot to be leveled at the Black camp, which conveyed a defiance in terms as strong as the pen could have done, and doubtless as well understood.
The action was fought on the plain of St. Charles, on the 28th of March. The resources not less than the courage of Ferrand and his associates is seen in his finding means, with so small an army, to garrison every part of the city, and to make a sortie against a foe so numerous, so desperate, and so insatiable for blood and vengeance. Seconded by a little band of Heroes, he, however, attacked successively, and successively carried, every intrenchment of the enemy. His second in command heading the attack on the first line received a very severe wound; not discouraged he led them on to the second, where he received several others; still concealing his situation from his companions, he conducted them to the third, in carrying which he received a musket ball through the lower viscera, of which he almost instantly died. From the Spanish troops but little aid was received in the first and partial engagements with the blacks, but in this decisive one, the presence of their commander, whom they loved and feared, animated them to actions which seemed to be inspired by a desire to surpass their French comrades.
The defeat was complete. 1300 Brigands were counted dead on the field of battle; all their ammunition, a large portion of their military stores, their magazines of provisions, and the military chest and treasure of the Emperour , fell into the hands of the victor; whose loss in the battle did not exceed 80 men.
The fleet of admiral Messessi (or Minessis) arrived either on the day of the battle or the day succeeding, but had not at the time landed any troops. The ships did not come to anchor, but after putting the aids which they had for the garrison on shore, stood out to sea.—We understand that the inhabitants of St. Domingo have been invited to return; as the siege is raised, and the army of Dessalines completely withdrawn.
Admiral Cochrane touched at St. Thomas, in pursuit of the French squadron, but not finding it there continued his course for St. Domingo.
We omit several articles prepared for this day's paper, in order to make room for Mr. Elliot's Third Letter, and for the distressing account of the Loss of the Ship Jupiter of New-York, which we extract from Baltimore papers, received by Gould's packet.
By a gentleman arrived in Gould's packet this morning, who came direct from New-York to Baltimore, we are informed that, on the day he left New-York, English papers had been received there, stating that the Brest fleet, consisting of 21 sail of the line had actually put to sea, had proceeded to Cadiz, had there been joined by the Spanish ships in that harbour, and had again put to sea—The number of ships was not then known, nor had any precise idea of their destination been formed. On board of this fleet were embarked 33,000 troops of the Line.
From the Captain of the Tickler of Baltimore, who stopped here on his way from Bermuda, to land passengers, we learn that the ship Manhattan of New-York (from Batavia) was cleared 20th ult.—The Captain had applied for damages.—The brig Nancy would not be put on trial until proofs of the neutrality of her property should have had time to arrive from America—[The secretary of the Marine Insurance Company, sailed from hence, with these proofs, 17th ult.]—Bermuda was shut against Americans; but it was expected it would soon be opened again.—The Captain of the Tartar frigate impressed (at St. George's) all the crew of the Tickler , including the mate; with much difficulty the mate was got back, but none of the others. Captain Maxwell threatened that wherever he met an American vessel at sea, on board of which there was an Englishman, an Irishman, or a Scotchman, he would take every soul from on board of her and send her adrift; that such was the best mode of punishing the abuse of protections.—As we have a law providing for the punishment of such outrage, when the perpetrator of it shall come within our jurisdiction, we hold it the duty of every captain, against whom it has been or may be committed, to enter his protest against it immediately on his arrival in port, and to forward it, with such circumstantial proof as may be within his power, to the office of state. And this we earnestly recommend to them not to neglect.
The ship Canton of Baltimore, abandoned at sea by Capt. Sterett, and recovered by Capt. M'George of the brig Hope , had arrived off Antigua, and was three days becalmed in sight of the island, when she was taken possession of by a French privateer, and sent into Guadalupe.
Gun-Boat No. 10, Commanded by Lieut. Cartee, arrived from Washington last night—No. 5, from Baltimore also arrived this day.
The tenth discourse of the Lay-Curate is in type, but unavoidably omitted until our next.
FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER, APRIL 2.
THE INAUGURAL SPEECH.
No. V.
THINE OWN WICKEDNESS SHALL CORRECT THEE, AND THE BACKSLIDINGS SHALL REPROVE THEE.
Of those who write, and act much in life, few have been able to preserve perfect consistency of thought and action. Wise and liberal men, form their judgment of the moral intentions of others, by the relation which their actions and sentiments bear to some one general principle; and will not consider every slight deviation from the general tenor of a person's conduct, an act of inconsistency. Sometimes it will so happen that consistency in principle is best preserved by a departure from general practice. To lay down rules for deciding upon the consistency of all cases that may arise, would argue weakness; the act must be estimated by all its concomitant circumstances, and by the general tendency of its operation. A casual error will now and then be fallen into by the best and wisest of men. But if a man is seen eternally shuffling from one practice to another, its direct opposite; if he is found suborning his reason and conscience to act in one way at one time, and diametrically opposite at another; if at one time he is hot an inflammatory upon one fact or principle, and at another blows cold upon it; if to answer a particular purpose to day he strenuously maintains a particular doctrine, and to-morrow shall have the effrontery to broach another, merely because his circumstances are changed and private expediency demands the unworthy sacrifice; and if it appears evident by his conduct that he is all along guided by private expediency only, and shifts his position along with it—then it is apparent that he is a man destitute not only of proper consistency, but of common principle itself; unless we reckon as proper consistency a total want of regard to means, provided they conduce to the one end of self-interest and convenience.
We dwell upon this point of consistency, because the President seems to plume himself greatly upon that virtue; and has, in his last inauguration speech, thrown down his gauntlet to the nation, challenging those who may chuse to take it up, to shew whether his conduct has not been conformable to the principles laid down by himself at his entering into office. We have already done something, and we will do much more, to shew that so far from corresponding to, his conduct has contradicted, his promises. We will do more—we will shew that with a zeal and industry proportioned to the magnitude of his object, he disseminated through this country principles respecting politics, and opinions respecting men, in order to get those men out of office, and himself and his partisans into it; and that having got in, he now holds principles and opinions of a directly opposite nature. We will shew that that political conduct, by the condemnation of which in the former administrations he rendered them most unjustly unpopular, and ousted them from publick confidence, is now the standard of his own conduct—makes the very basis of his speech, if it can be said to have any basis at all—and is recommended by him to general practice—We will shew that he most untruly attributes to his adversaries those very base and unworthy arts and practices by which, and by which alone, he was raised to power, and denounces them with all the vehemence of indignant virtue, while his conscience tells him (if it does not, we will give it a jog) that he himself was the aider the patron, and the rewarder of those who were guilty of them. Who would believe that the friend and patron of Callender, and others, whose crimes are not, like those of that unhappy man, mitigated by genius; the approver of the “ Prospect Before Us ”; the rewarder of its author, the squanderer of the publick treasure upon the most notorious and infamous calumniators of Washington and Adams, could have the nerve to denounce the press for slander against himself, and to excite a spirit of prosecution against it in 1805; or that he, who, by his and his partisans' inuendoes against the Sedition Law, pushed the Federalists from power, could have the conscience to propound in his last speech, (a speech that is to remain on record forever) a measure containing the whole of the Sedition law in a much more prosecuting, angry, aggravated shape.
Let it not be understood that we disapprove of the sentiments, taken by themselves, which Mr. Jefferson discloses in those last mentioned respects. As heartily as he can, do we abhor calumny. And firmly are we persuaded, as his speech shews he is, that the sedition law was a most salutary measure, and ought to be re-enacted.—but we will not allow that calumny if had now, was good in the years 1799 and 1800; or that the sedition law could have been impolitic and unconstitutional in 1801, yet salutary and constitutional now. We will not allow that calumny was useful because it put the federalists out, and raised the high priests of democracy to office; or that the sedition law ought to be repealed to dismantle the fe-
deral administration of its just defence, and leave it at the mercy of his janisaris of faction and their bowstrings—and though we grant it ought to be re-enacted, to throw an equal shield over all, we will say that if any persons can be supposed to be deserving of exclusion from its protection, it is those who, for the very worst purposes, cried it down and procured its repeal. This is a subject on which we mean chiefly to enlarge. But we must clear our way to it by dispatching some subordinate points of consideration. Mean time readverting to one on which we have already said much, we beg leave to call upon any of the agents of the party in power to reply to what follows.
We say that General Washington put men into office without consideration of their politics. Their having served their country in the revolutionary war was recommendation enough to him—he who had that, was received, even though he held anti-federal principles. We can particularize persons.
We not only say that Mr. Jefferson has put out old officers merely for their being federal men, but has never appointed one person to office but for his party services and principles. We call upon him or his agents to point it out, if we are wrong.
Mr. Adams did not put men out of office for their political principles. A few defaulters were put out—they were democrats, but were put out for default.—Do the party deny this, let them point out the instances.
We say that Mr. Jefferson, in the very first year of his office put out of office, upwards of fifty men without a charge of fault, misbehaviour, incapacity, or incompetence of any kind—but merely for their holding federal principles.
They were made the victims of a system of principle intolerance which has raged in this country ever since the accession of the present party to power, with a heat & virulence unexampled but in the jacobin usurpations of France.
We can state names and circumstances point by point if called upon.
FROM THE VERMONT JOURNAL.
MR. ELLIOT TO HIS CONSTITUENTS. LETTER III.
Until after the decision of the house of representatives, of the final question upon the amendment of the constitution, I never had contemplated the subject with a suitable degree of cool reflection and deep investigation. Having always possessed a predilection for what is called designating, or discriminating principle, I regarded the objections to it, on the ground of its being injurious to the small states, as the mere sophistry, or at most the mere ingenuity, of a party determined to oppose every measure of the majority. Much patient examination of the subject, at a later period, has convinced me that my first impressions were erroneous; and has at the same time, produced in my mind a perfect conviction of the propriety of that remark, that he who never changed his opinions, never corrected his mistakes.
Were I again to deliver my sentiments upon the amendment, I should urge the following objections to its adoption. In an abstract view of the subject, instead of rendering the constitution more republican , which is the professed object of its advocates, it renders it less so: and it diminishes the influence and importance of the small states, relatively to the large ones.
By the constitution as it stood originally, the electors were to vote for two persons as candidates for the offices of president and vice president, without any distinct designation of a particular candidate for either office. Let us here inquire what has been the immediate cause of the ruin of all republics ancient and modern? The answer is obvious. The worship of popular idols, or, as the legislature of Delaware expressed the idea with equal felicity and dignity, “delirious devotion to individuals.” What was the language of the constitution to the people, in reference to the election of the chief magistrate? Neither yourselves nor the electors of president shall have any idols. You shall vote for two men, either of whom shall be qualified for the presidency. Could any thing be more truly republican, more hostile even to the elements of aristocracy? But it has been said that this was leaving the result of the election to the decision of chance. Let it be remembered that in the republics of Athens and Crete, and even in Rome, important magistrates were chosen by lot; and that the same legislators of antiquity considered that mode of election as the most demotrick, and at the same time operating to exclude corruption and intrigue.—Again we are told that it may be in the power of a few individuals to frustrate the will of the majority. Impossible. If the majority be not possessed of two characters equal to the duties of the presidency, it ought instantly to be a minority. Besides, if the election of president is always to be considered a mere party question, parties will learn wisdom from the circumstances of the election of 1801, and two candidates will not again receive an equal number of suffrages from any party. If that important election is to be divested of all party considerations, if another Washington is to unite all hearts, there can be no possible danger of an equality of votes. It has also been said that the double ballot is favourable to intrigue, and it certainly appears so to a superficial observer; but it is extremely questionable whether the general uncertainty of the result of the election does not render intrigue less probable than a mode of election which enables the aspiring demagogue to march directly towards the object of his ambition.
In forming the constitution, immense sacrifices of weight and power were made by the small states, and none at all by the large states. This important fact has never been attended to by the people. By the original principles of our confederation, as well as by the uniform practice of all similar associations, in ancient and modern times, the small states were entitled to equal political rights, of every possible description, with the large ones, without reference to territory, wealth, or population.—The double ballot for president seemed an important privilege to the small states—No possible combination of large states could preclude the small ones from either electing a vice president of their own, or deciding which of two candidates presented by the large states should be the president. This privilege is now abandoned, and five or six large states may forever name both president and vice president, and exclude the small states from any agency in the election. The relative weight of the small states is not only impaired as respects the election by electors in the first instance, but it is lessened, in a still more alarming degree, when the election comes into the house of representatives. The constitution provided that if no election should be made by electors the house of representatives should, voting by states, from the five highest on the list of candidates, elect the president. It is certain that the narrower the range allowed to the small states in the selection of the president from the electoral candidates, the smaller the degree of their weight in the election. They are now restricted to the three highest candidates. It is calculable then with mathematical certainty that they have made the enormous sacrifice of two-fifths of their weight in the election. This cannot be denied. As well might it be asserted that two and two do not make four, or that the sun does not shine at noon day.
The alarming event which occurred at the first election of Mr. Jefferson, when, in consequence of an equal number of votes between him and Mr. Burr, and the pertinacious adherence of the federal party in the House of Representatives to the latter gentleman, the election was suspended for some days, has been represented as impiously demanding the alteration of the constitution, and unquestionably tended to make that alteration very popular. That event, however instead of displaying the weakness, proved the strength of the constitution. The members of the House of Representatives had then an awful responsibility resting upon them, the responsibility which would have resulted from leaving the Union without a President, and probably without a constitution, had no election been made by the 4th of March. From that responsibility they are released by that part of the late amendment, so peculiarly objectionable to myself and others, which authorizes them to make no choice, and to devolve the Presidency for four years upon the Vice President. Nor is it probable, altho' it is indeed possible, that an equality of votes between two candidates would occur again in an age; and it is probable that it may occur now as it was before the alteration; notwithstanding the discrimination, two candidates may have an equal number of votes, and a future congress may divide between them with as much obstinacy as did the former one. Again, it has been said that the alteration was necessary to secure the re-election of Mr. Jefferson. Has republicanism so rapidly degenerated in our country, that already the constitution must be altered with a view to the promotion, emolument, or continuance in office, of an individual, however eminent for talents and patriotism? But the reverse of the assertion was the fact. With or without the alteration, the re-election of Mr. Jefferson, in all human probability was equally certain. Witness the committee appointed by a caucus of the majority of the members of both houses, to devise ways and means to direct the electoral votes in such manner as to produce the re-election of the President, should the amendment not be adopted.
But other alterations of the constitution, still more destructive of the rights of the small states, were in contemplation; and of the creation of an aristocracy of large states to be guided and governed by Virginia, the amendment in question was considered as the harbingering. The evidence to support this assertion and the character of the intended innovations, will form the subject of a future letter. Equally in a single community and in a confederated republick, there is a natural effort to make the strong stronger and the weak weaker. I shall drop my pen for the present when it has recorded the remark, that I have never intentionally given a vote calculated to reduce the weight of the small state of Vermont in the American Union, and the promise that I never will give such a vote in future.
JAMES ELLIOT.
FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.
A man of genteel appearance and address was committed to the gaol of this county a few days since, on a charge of horse stealing . It is said he is a notorious swindler and horse thief, well known in Kentucky and the southern states, by the name of Obadiah Williams, Washington Randolph, J. King, jun. J. W. Thompson, &c. &c. That he is famous for breaking gaols, particularly at Fredericksburg and Staunton, in Virginia; he appears to be about thirty-five years of age; six feet high—reddish coloured hair, cut short which he generally wears powdered; fair complexion and has a mark on one side of his nose. We are told he will have his trial here next criminal court which will be held in July.
Baltimore American.
This man of “genteel appearance, and ad-

dress, thirty-five years old, of reddish co- loured hair, of a fair complexion, and with a mark on one side of his nose," is without doubt Obadiah Williams , the notorious swin- dler and horse thief, and the most incorrigible villain perhaps in the United States. As skilful in his famous department of robbery as ever Barrington was in the art of picking pockets, his fame is scarcely less terrible. There is scarcely an owner of a horse in Vir- ginia, who has not heard and execrated the name of Obadiah Williams . There is scarce- ly a county which has not furnished him with a harvest for his rapacity or a market for the produce of his labours. Constables and sher- iffs has raised the hue and cry upon him: Courts of justice have arraigned him at the bar: the sentence of the law has been more than once suspended over his head, and it has been more than once pronounced upon him, but the artifice, the force or the money of Williams , has hitherto eluded all their ex- trations, and protected him against the well- earned penalties of his crimes.
The writer of this article is well acquainted with the person, manners, and mind of Wil- iams . His form is athletick, his countenance pleasing: his dress and address are those of a gentleman. The oily insinuating flippancy of his tongue is in happy unison with the un- blushing effrontery of his face. His mind is naturally strong, but almost destitute of every artificial advantage. Still there are moments when he affects to put on the graces of an ora- tor, and the genius of a poet. He finds in it, however, resources which are much more certain, and which he most successfully brings into use: considerable penetration into the characters of men, an active curiosity, strong memory, and a fruitfulness of expedients, which enables him to turn every passing oc- currence to the best advantage.
There is a certain system in this man's con- duct, which marks each particular display of his favourite art. He always selects some neighbourhood where the people are hospita- ble and the horses excellent. When his man- ners and address have once recommended him to the civility of the neighbourhood, he sets his mischievous powers in motion. He vi- sits the stables, selects some of the finest hor- ses, and arranges in his own mind, the time and manner of completing his conquest. Ha- ving decamped with his booty, he flies to some distant neighbourhood in search of a favourable market. It is here that another predominant feeling of his mind develops its power, and seeks its gratification. Mr. Williams like a true Knight of old, has a tender devotion to the fair, which he is ambitious of showing to the best advantage. He selects some fair damsel for his Dulcinea : for her, he dresses; to her he writes love sonnets; to her he offers vows of eternal fidelity, and solicits her hand as the greatest boon which Heaven can give to man. And instances have occurred, when he has sometimes actually accomplished his pur- poses, and when sometimes he has been driven from them by the ministers of justice. When apprehended, the first emotion of his mind appears to be an indignant pride for being supposed capable of such meanness. He turns to his accusers, and menaces them with the chastisement of a gentleman: laughs at their im- potent persecution; and tauntingly asks them, whether they expect to find a magistrate, who would be credulous enough to believe their tale, or daring enough to commit such a gen- tleman as himself to jail. When he has been once secured in prison, he carefully enquires into the extent of the testimony, that is to be adduced against him. If it be weak, he laughs at the persecution of the accusers, or threat- ens to sue them for false imprisonment. If it is too cogent to be treated with contempt, he employs able counsel and tries every trick of the law, in which long experience has made him not a little conversant, to elude its penal- ties. Sometimes he descends to more hypo- critical arts. To abate the severity of his sen- tence, he affects the greatest contrition for his crimes: laments the errors of his youth; confesses himself in open court, and throws himself upon the mercy of the law. The wri- ter of this article well recollects the conduct of this man when he was tried at the district court of Fredericksburg in the spring of 1802. He had formerly been acquainted with Wil- iams , and curiosity drew him as well as many others, to the door of his prison. The inter- view served to inspire him with a new senti- ment, a feeling of compassion. He found the walls of his prison, covered with drawings and verses descriptive of the horrors of impris- onment and the blessings of liberty. His coun- tenance betokened anguish and remorse. A man of this character appeared not too far re- moved from the influence of reasoning, and he formed the romantick idea of using his ef- forts to reform the mind of Obadiah Wil- iams . He conversed with him more than once: he expatiated upon the profligate ten- dency of his habits; he contrasted what such a mind as his was capable of achieving with its hopeless and degrading situation; he cal- led upon him to awaken the slumbering prin- ciples of his virtue, and as the first atonement to the injured justice of his country, he ex- horted him to confess his crimes and his ac- complices, and to make an ample retribution as he could to the men whose property he had despoiled. Williams seemed penetrated with grief, compunction and self-degradation: he lamented and condemned the errors of his life; wept over his disconsolate destiny and promised to do all that his adviser had prompt- ed. He actually confessed his crime in the presence of the court and published in the News-Letter (a Fredericksburg paper) a very impressive address to the publick, declaring his determination to make every restitution which his circumstances would permit. A
short time proved how hollow and hypocriti- cal were such confessions of his guilt. With- in a few days before he was to be sent to the penitentiary with his fellow-convicts, he rose upon his keeper, or as it was then reported, he bribed them to silence with money which he had secreted in the stuffing of his cravat: tied them: seized their muskets, and march- ed off in safety with his convicted companions. And the preceding article from the Baltimore paper, gives the first satisfactory intelligence which the writer has since received of the movements of Mr. Williams .
Such a villain, it is to be hoped will no lon- ger be suffered to act over such diversified scenes of duplicity and meanness. If the tes- timony before the court of Maryland be insu- fficient to chain him to the wheel-barrow, it is trusted that the executive council of Virginia will interpose, and demand him as a fugitive from its laws.
FROM THE NEW-YORK EVENING POST.
The Aurora and Enquirer .—A pleasant con- troversy has arisen between the editors of two leading democratick papers, the Virginia En- quirer and the Aurora . The Virginian , in the true spirit and character of Virginianism , took the editor of the Aurora to task for having denounced Mr. Findley because he was in fa- vour of the Yazoo Claimants, and wrote three long columns of criticism on the merits and demerits of his paper. It is amusing enough to see the lofty air of superiority assumed by the Virginian (for he is too modest to write under his own name). He pronounces the Au- rora "the best paper in the Union," his own of course excepted; this was certainly very pretty and well calculated to tickle Duane , but then by way of set-off he says, "The style of its controversial essays is often scurrilous, vulgar, and malevolent." [How bold and how just!] "Its views of foreign affairs are too frequently blended, confounded, and inter- rupted, by unnecessary critiques on the federa- list party. Its views of their secret intrigues are not always supported by that verisimili- tude and probability which are so necessa- ry to produce conviction on all subjects, where the truth is so important, and difficult to be ascertained." [How candid and how plausible? But go on.] "I speak not of its cen- sure of the federal party. Their designs it is no longer in the power of charity itself to deny or to excuse. With them experience has too fatally ripened suspicion into conviction, and there are no censures too harsh, no denuncia- tions too violent, which the leading supporters of that party do not justly deserve." Thus this modest and decorous lad (for Duane tells us he is but a youth) who declares his delica- cy cannot endure the "scurrilous, vulgar, and malevolent style" of the Aurora , yet means to be understood with reference only to its ap- plication to the good patriots of his own party, such as honest Findley : as for the federalists "no censures can be too harsh, no denuncia- tions too violent." The truth is he was afraid of the Aurora , and so mixed a little coaxing and a little chastisement together; but of the federalists in Virginia he is not at all afraid. What a simpering, puling, pusillanimous hy- pocrite it is! Silly Sammy is a foil to a him. Duane however has done him very great jus- tice in the last Aurora ; the article is written with much spirit and acuteness, and in an un- usually correct style. The Virginian with all his fancied importance must not think to cope with the experienced editor of the Aurora .
LOSS OF THE SHIP JUPITER.
NEW-YORK, APRIL 28.
We announce with extreme regret the loss of the regular trading ship Jupiter , capt. Law , on her voyage from London to this port. She struck against one of those immense bo- dies of ice which have lately been fallen in with in certain latitudes, and sunk in half an hour afterwards. Her cargo was a valuable one; but what is of infinitely greater impor- tance, she had on board (including her crew) 73 human beings, 27 of whom perished with vessel, and of the remainder, only eight have been heard of. We have an alarming pre- sentiment, (which we shall be happy to find altogether groundless) that many of our regu- lar trading ships, which ought in the usual course of navigation to have arrived some time ago from Europe, have experienced fates simi- lar to that of the Jupiter .
We have been favoured with the following copy of captain Law's Protest, containing the particulars of this distressing circumstance:
"April 6th, in lat. 44, 20, long. 49, at 8, A. M. saw several pieces of broken ice, from which, at 11 the same day, we supposed our- selves entirely clear, steering W. by N. wind E. N. E. and foggy weather. At 2, P. M. be- gan to discover islands of ice again, and at 3 o'clock saw a large field ahead which appeared to have no opening. We then wore ship, and kept off to the southward and eastward; con- tinually passing small islands of ice, until 5 P. M. when we found the ice extending so far to the N. and S. that we could not clear it. We then hove about and stretched to the northward among the broken ice, till night came on, and no prospect of getting clear. We hove to under the three topsails double reefed in hopes to have sufficient draft to keep clear of the fields of ice to leeward until day- light but found at about 11 we were drifting fast upon a large field, and were obliged to wear ship and haul to the southward under easy sail, luffing and bearing away for the broken ice as occasion required until half past 12, when we struck a small piece, which we found had gone through the starboard bow. We immediately rigged both pumps, and got the boats out; 38 souls, men, women, and children, got into the long boat, and 8 into the
yawl, and put off from the ship, which went down in about half an hour from the time she struck, having on board, at the time the boats left her, about 27 souls, who perished with the ship. We then shaped our course to the west- ward, continually relieving the oars, and with difficulty finding a passage sufficient for the boats, through the different fields of ice, which we were passing during the remainder of that night, the next day, and on Monday, the 8th of April, having gone at the rate of nearly three miles an hour, the long-boat having stud- ding sail set forward, and 4 oars con- stantly going, with the yawl in tow like- wise constantly rowing as we were obliged to vary our course to find a passage. We suppose our course to have been about WSW from the time the ship went down. Finding as we had cleared the ice, a rough sea beginning to make, so that the yawl was very unsafe in tow and they not being willing to increase their number in the long boat, we requested them to cut our painter. the long boat immediately left us out of sight, steer- ing N. with a fresh breeze from the south. Our situation at this time was such, that we could do nothing but let the boat keep direct- ly before the wind, it being very squally with heavy rain, and at every sea expecting the boat must have filled until sunset, when the wind abated and the weather moderated, so that we were enabled to pull to windward, which we did from 7 o'clock until 8 in the morning of Tuesday the 9th of April instant, when we had the happiness to discover a sail to the west, which proved to be a schooner belonging to Marblehead, Henry N. Guiner, master, who took us on board his vessel, and on Wednesday the 24th day of April we ar- rived safe at Marblehead.
RICHARD LAW, Master.
The following are the cabin passengers in the Jupiter , hon. Robert Kennedy , J. B. Temple , Mr. Tappen , Mr. Ilbery , captain Law , one mate and one seaman, saved in the yawl.
Names of those left in the long boat at sea.
Gilbert I. E. Smissaert , of Amsterdam, cabin passenger; Mr. Ashley , wife and three daughters; Mr. Medcalf , wife and in- fant; Mr. Merritt , wife and apprentice boy; James Trice and mother; Isaac Paine , wife and child; George Slowman , Rachel Luff , Eleazer Wood , Mr. Mitchell and wife; James Williams ; Mr. Temple's servant, two Ger- mans, (names unknown), Thomas Williams , second mate, and eleven of the crew, one unknown steerage passenger.
Names of those lost in the ship.
Mrs. and Miss Merritt , Mr. Breach , wife and 2 children; Mr. Giles , wife and 7 chil- dren; Mrs. Grange ; Mrs. Leete and 4 chil- dren; David Brand , and 2 sons; three per- sons names unknown, steerage passengers.
Captain Law would recommend to any ves- sels bound to Europe, not to go to the north of lat. 39, as the information of capt. Guiner in the schooner that relieved him had been as far to the south as 41, 30, and could see no southern termination. To captain M. Guiner , of the schooner Joanna , captain Law and his companions desire to express their gratitude for his humane and kind treatment. The above schooner is the vessel that was spoken with by the Oliver Elsworth , captain Bennet , during the time she was in the same field of ice; she was bound to Bilboa, but put back to Nantucket for the purpose of landing capt. Law and his passengers.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
Circuit Court of the United States, Philadelphia, April 18, 1805.
CALBRAITH vs. GRACIE.
This was an action brought on a policy of Insurance on Goods on board the brig Carolina , at and from Havanna to Carthagena, and at and from thence to Philadelphia, with liberty touch at Laguirra and one or more ports on the Spanish Main and in the West Indies—The property warranted. American, with approviso, that if the same should be called in question it should be suf- ficient, on the part of the assured, to prove, in any Court of the United States, that the pro- perty was American.—It appeared that the vessel was purchased in Philadelphia by A- merican citizens—went to New Orleans, with an American Register; that she appeared at sea with American, but in port with Spanish, papers; had a Spanish permit—purchased a cargo of flour in Havanna, and there procured a Spaniard, named Hernandez , to go Super- cargo to Carthagena, and to receive a third of the nett proceeds of sales, but no commis- sions.—At Havanna the Carolina was charter- ed, one-third by Hernandez and Cuesta (Spaniards) and the other two thirds by A- mericans.—The Charter party bore date the 23 of March, and the order to ensue was gi- ven on the 12th of May, 1795. The bill of lading expressed the cargo to be on account of James Calbraith & Co. and Robert Meade . On the 14th of May, 1795, insurance was effected. On the 11th of May, the Carolina was captured by the French privateer National Razor , and on the 15th retaken by the En- glish schooner Musquito , and carried into New-Providence—there the cargo was claim- ed by Hernandez as Spanish property, who demanded restoration on payment of salvage— but the Carolina and cargo were condemned by the Court of Vice Admiralty.
Messrs. Heatly & Ingersoll , for the plain- tiff, contended, that it was necessary to em- ploy a Spaniard in this kind of trade, which must have been known to the ensurer, as it was well understood, generally: that Hernan-
dez was not a general agent, but a special agent limited to particular purposes, and that he could bind only for the purpose for which he was agent;—that his claim, whether from ig- norance or not, was of no consequence to the plaintiffs—that the underwriters were not to be discharged by merely taking this man on board—that the principle was the same, whe- ther Hernandez was to have a commission, or in lieu of it, a portion of the cargo.
Messrs. Chauncy & Rawle , for the defen- dants, contended that the Brig's carrying dou- ble papers, was an infringement of the warrant- ty and discharge of the underwriters; but more especially as Hernandez swore before the British Court, in support of his claim, that the property was Spanish—the plaintiffs themselves claim only two-thirds, allowing one-third to have been in Cuesta and Hernan- dez . Spain and France were at war—Ameri- ca neutral—why perjure himself as Hernan- dez the plaintiffs' agent did, and swear the property Spanish which was ensuring con- demnation, while that might have been avoid- ed by claiming as American?
His honour judge Washington observed in his charge, that all commercial questions were important but not difficult—it is necessary to follow established decisions, in order that ours may be respected abroad, commerce being the chain of connexion between these United States respectively, and between them & the rest of the world. Hernandez and Cuesta were one third concerned by the Charter party —at the time of the warranty given to the ensurer that the property was American, it was traversing the ocean as Spanish—to the defendant's objection that the ensurer should have been acquainted with double papers, the plaintiffs' reply the trade was notorious—but no proof has been given of the course of this trade—If as the plaintiffs urge, they had a special permission to carry on this trade, where was the occasion for taking Hernandez as supercargo? The difference between a re- presentation by an assured to an underwriter and a warranty, is that any deviation from the first must be material, but the second is a con- dition precedent, literally to be complied with; this warranty imports the property to be neu- tral—that it shall continue so—that she shall have all the particular documents necessary to the American and neutral character. The case turns on this point—the plaintiffs have stipulated that the property is American and neutral, and that they nor omit nothing to secure those characters. What necessity for the warranty as neutral unless the vessel is to be navigated as such? what signifies the warranty if she is never to be neutral?— When the Carolina was met by the French privateer, she should have produced Ameri- can papers. As a judge I must say, she would have been discharged had she done so, because it would have been right—when car- ried into New Providence she should have been claimed as American; but, as if mad, they swore themselves Spanish. Can it be said that this was a compliance with the war- ranty? Could any thing be a more open vio- lation of it?—It is said Hernandez was not agent—why then did not the captain claim as American?—he violated his duty in not claiming. But Hernandez was most undoub- tedly the agent. And his honour declared that the plaintiff had violated his warranty and that his opinion was he could not recover.
The jury found for the Defendant.
