CREEK INDIANS.
During the present week we have had the company of colonel Benjamin Hawkins , principal superintendent of Indian affairs in the southern department, an interpreter, and six Indian chiefs of the Creek nation. They arrived in this city on Tuesday evening, and left it yesterday morning for the city of Washington . Colonel Hawkins was extremely anxious to continue his route, having been particularly instructed by the President to arrive at Washington by the 8th instant or as soon as possible.
The present deputation has been invited to the seat of government to hold a talk for re-organizing the treaty made last year, by which they ceded to the United States that tract of land in the state of Georgia , which lies within the forks of the Oconee and Oakmulgee rivers. By the articles of agreement and cession entered into on the 24th April, 1802, between Georgia and the United States, the United States agreed to extinguish at their own expense and for the use of Georgia , the Indian title to this tract, as
a compensation in part for the Yazoo empire. It was with great reluctance that the Creek nation consented to sell their right to this soil, but when the treaty was brought before the senate, for their ratification, it was rejected on account of the high price of the land. The administration, we presume, is now attempting to extinguish the Indian title on more favourable terms.
The principal man of this deputation is the third chief in the nation. The Creeks have three of those head men, whom they call chiefs or speakers. When the first chief is absent on a hunting or a war party, the second commands in his place; when both these are absent, the third chief in the order assumes the command. These chiefs preside over the council of the nation, to which are referred the most important measures: the forming of the laws and the making of peace or war. In the Creek nation this deliberate council amounts to about 400. When the question before them relates to hostilities, they summon to their aid the bravest warriors of their tribe. If they express a great anxiety for their measure, the council draws back, being anxious to throw all the responsibility on them. If they manifest any indifference or opposition to it, the council generally assume a more spirited attitude. In this great council the question is debated until the affair is settled to every one's apparent satisfaction: no man peremptorily adhering to his own opinion, but each giving way and modifying his own, so as to come nearer to the sentiments of the rest. The cessation of the debate becomes the signal of unanimity. No vote is taken in form among them; there is no numbering of the yeas and nays; but the chief simply pronounces in an interrogative tone of voice: "You are agreed then upon this measure?" If it be on a question of war the principal warrior addresses the chief and demands: "Is it war?" The speaker answers, "It is war;" at that moment the warrior lifts up the tomahawk, and the question is supposed to be irrevocably decided.
The Creeks have five men among them who may be regarded as the historical and legal libraries of the tribe. It is their office to collect and transmit to successive generations their history, antiquities and laws. At their annual festival, these men step forward to describe the different events which have happened to their nation, from the earliest tradition down to the present time. These imperfect records are thus disseminated every year among the whole tribe. When the great council of the nation is in session, these learned traditionaries attend for the purpose of preserving their decisions. They sit by during the debate, indifferent to the reasons and arguments of the speakers, which they are not expected to record; until the chief comes to pronounce the decision and so great is their accuracy that, according to colonel Hawkins , they preserve the decision in the very words of the President.
The third chief who is now with the deputation under the name of Cornell , is represented by colonel Hawkins , as by far the most eloquent man in the Creek nation. He is smaller than the ordinary standard of his tribe, but equally erect in his department. Being descended from a white father, he has lost most of the distinguished characteristics of an Indian; the copper complexion; high cheek bones, and thick lips. He speaks English with some ease, but his own language with considerable fluency. We were present at one of the talks which he delivered to his companions, and our own observations confirmed the eulogium of colonel Hawkins . He delivered himself, with such graceful gesture, sweetness of tone, and animation of countenance, as could not fail to please the spectator, though he was ignorant of the subject of his harangue. In one indispensable attribute of an orator, he appeared eminently skilled. He had none of those tremulous feelings of embarrassment or a desire for applause, which generally call off the attention of the speaker from the subject to the spectator. Apparently unaffected by the company who surrounded him, he passed strait on towards the point, which he was seeking; and upon that, he concentrated the whole energy of his mind. It was a maxim which Cornell seemed to have thorough-

ly understood; that no man can command the feelings of another, who is not master of his own.
The subject of his harangue was indeed enough to kindle the eloquence of the untutored orator. He and his companions had just returned from a visit to the Capitol, the Armoury, the canal, and he took that opportunity of expressing the feeling of his own mind, and of exciting theirs. He told them that a few years since, when he was here with Capt. McGillivray, he had left this place a small village. He now found it a rich and flourishing city, with an admirable canal and an armoury for furnishing the people with the means of defence. During the war with Great Britain, he said, we had been much in want of arms, though even then we had fought so bravely; and now we had established a manufactory for supplying every soldier in the state with a musket. To what he asked was this great contrast to be ascribed, which a few years had produced in the appearance of the city? It was to the enlightened genius, and the industry, and the civilization of the inhabitants. Could they not profit by this lesson? Could they not do as we did, and be like us, rich in the instruments of war and the materials of enjoyment.
The Creek nation has already made some advances in this career of improvement. Col. Hawkins, to whom too much praise cannot be given for his humanity and zeal, has now introduced among them the plough, the wheel and the loom. He has recalled them in some measure from their warlike and precarious life of hunting to the more productive pursuits of agriculture. They now raise a little wheat and a good deal of Indian corn, which they make into meal by pounding it in mortars. The superintendent has however set them the example of abridging the labour of the process, by employing handmills, and even erecting a small water mill. Domestic animals have been introduced among them, but none except the cow have been widely diffused. They frequently make butter, and sometimes cheese, of which Colonel Hawkins received during the last year from one Indian woman not less than 170 lbs; they have not attained the art of tanning leather, though the superintendent has now established some vats for his own use and for their imitation. The manufacturers of the Creek nation cannot be expected to have attained any great proficiency. They raise cotton and weave it into shirting, and other clothing. We saw around the leg of the Indian chief, a garter manufactured from wool of a variegated color, and a firm uniform texture.
It is the opinion of Colonel Hawkins that the population of the Creek nation was every day becoming less under their ancient regime. The change in the manner of their living has contributed, he thinks, to arrest this depopulation of their country. Their numbers are stationary at present, and he thinks they can bring into the field about 4,000 warriors.
But this important revolution in their pursuits has not only contributed to increase their population, but what is still more desirable, the sensibility of their nature and the refinement of their manners. The females in particular may boast of the blessings of this auspicious revolution. They are now beginning to enter that second grade, which nations civilized in their manners, but not universally enlightened in their own opinions, uniformly exhibit; when from being the beasts of burthen, they become the luxuries and idols of man. We hope there is yet a third gradation in their destiny, which the polished Virginian, as well as the untutored Creek, may hereafter ascend to.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF COLONEL THOMAS BUTLER.
The characters and actions of meritorious men, in all ages, have been read with pleasure. It is a tribute due to virtue to record the actions of those who are worthy of emulation. Our country is young and has long been at peace—war achievements and warlike men are almost forgotten: unless when a newspaper announces in a few lines, the death of some revolutionary chief—and the type has not been employed in recording the death of one more lamented than the late Colonel Thomas Butler. If virtue, honor, benevolence, honesty, a sound heart and a clear head, united with bravery, constitutes a good man he possessed them. He was, in the year 1776 (the year that is so much boasted of—that
try'd men's souls,) a student at law with the eminent Judge Wilson of Philadelphia: early in that year he quit his studies and joined the army as a Subaltern—soon rose to the grade of Captain and continued in it till the happy and glorious close of the revolution. There were five brothers of the Butlers that joined the American cause, and fought during the war, and left the service with the following grades, viz. Col. Richard Butler, Col. William Butler, Capt. Thomas Butler, Lieut. Pierce Butler and Lieut. Edward Butler—none of them now living but Pierce Butler. Thomas Butler, whose memory we wish to perpetuate, was in almost every action that was fought in the middle States during the war—at the battle of Brandywine he received the thanks of the illustrious Washington, on the field of battle through his aid de camp Gen. Hamilton, for his intrepid conduct in rallying a detachment of retreating troops, and giving the enemy a severe fire. At the battle of Monmouth he received the thanks of Gen. Wayne for defending a defile in the face of a heavy fire from the enemy, while Col. Richard Butler's regiment made good their retreat—history records the unfortunate events of that day. At the close of the war he retired into private life as a farmer, where he enjoyed rural and domestic happiness until 1791 when he again took the field to meet a savage foe, that menaced our frontier, and the unfortunate 4th of November of that year is too well known! He was dangerously wounded, and with difficulty and great hazard, his brother Capt. Edward Butler got him off the field, where they left Gen. Richard Butler a corps !! In 1798 he was continued on the establishment a Major and was promoted in 1799 to Lieut. Col. Commandant of the 4th Sublegion—he commanded Fort Payette at Pittsburgh that year, when his name alone (for he had but few troops) prevented the deluded insurgents from taking the Fort. In 1797 he was named by president Washington as the officer best calculated to command in the State of Tennessee, when it was necessary to dispossess some citizens that had imprudently settled in the Indian lands; accordingly in May of that year he marched with his regiment from the Miami on the Ohio, and by that prudence and good sense that has ever marked his character through life, he in a very short time removed all difficulties, to the satisfaction of those concerned—as a firm and lasting proof of it, he holds the respect and esteem of all virtuous men in the State. He made several successful treaties with the Indians while in the state of Tennessee. In the year 1802 at the reduction of the army he was continued as Colonel of the 2d regiment of infantry on the peace establishment. Here his biographer stops—pauses—what can he write more?—He can announce to the world that Col. Butler was arrested by the Commanding General in 1803 at Fort Adams on the Mississippi, sent to Frederick-Town, Maryland, where he was tried by a general Court martial and acquitted honorably of all the charges, except that of wearing his hair, which he held as a gift of nature, and was of opinion, that no power on earth had a legal right to take it from him—which opinion he held till his death. After his trial he was ordered to New-Orleans there to take command of the troops, which he did on the 20th of October 1804 and on the 30th of November following, was again arrested for not cropping off his hair!!—and not until the first of July did a court convene for his second trial—the result of their decision is not yet known. Since his last arrest he lost his wife, who, like himself, was universally lamented by the good and virtuous. She died near Nashville, Tennessee—in consequence of her death and the deranged situation of his affairs he solicited leave from the Hon. Secretary of war and the commanding General to return to Tennessee so soon as the court martial was over—alas! the application was passed over in silence, no answer ever given him!! He was advised to move out of the city which he did in the latter part of July, and on the 7th of September paid the great debt of nature, aged 51 years—he has left three sons and one amiable daughter to lament his loss: yes, and he has left the virtuous world of his acquaintance to lament his loss: and none will feel it more severely than the valuable part of the army of all grades.
The writer of this short biography does not wish to wound the feelings of the prosecutor of the deceased; he himself is old and will soon have to pay the debt that Col. Butler has already paid. Comparison can then be made by the friends to virtue—which of their walks in life were most worthy of imitation.
LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
PARIS, September 10.
Jerome Bonaparte has returned to Genoa with his squadron. He has been at Algiers, and demanded the release of all the French and Italian prisoners. The Dey endeavored to prevaricate, but the young commodore insisted on the surrender of the prisoners or the termination of his negotiation in twenty four hours; within which the Dey complied with his demands, and gave up two hundred and fifty prisoners, which were conveyed in safety to Genoa.
HANOVER, September 2.
It was confidently reported here yesterday after the arrival of the Italian post, that hostilities had actually commenced between the Russian and French armies. Late occurrences seem to countenance the report, notwithstanding the pacific tone of his Corsican majesty, who is no doubt very much alarmed at the threatening of the northern political atmosphere.
LONDON, September 17.
A report, in a letter said to be written from Berlin, states that an armed neutrality is to be formed by Prussia, Denmark, and some of the electors of Germany, in the case of an actual rupture between Austria and France.
Halifax, October 26.
Two days ago, the Mermaid spoke an American vessel from Bilboa for Marblehead, out 23 days; who informed that Spain had actually declared WAR against the American States; and that he was obliged to cut and run, to save his vessel.
DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
CHILICOTHE, November 8.
We understand that a duel was fought on Tuesday in the settlement of Belpre, Ohio, by Mr. Stephen R. Wilson and Mr. Alexander Henderson, both of Wood county, Virginia. The distance agreed upon was fifteen steps, and to wheel and fire when the word was given to fire, they both advanced, the one in a deliberate walk, the other in full speed, till within an arms length of each other when they both fired and fell side by side. Mr. Wilson received a ball in his knee which shattered it to pieces, Mr. Henderson a ball in his thigh, near the upper joint, which was feared would deprive him of existence; but we understand they are both in a fair way of recovering.
NORFOLK, Nov. 11.
Yesterday arrived in Hampton Roads, the U. States frigate Constellation, capt. Stewart, also the transport brig Franklin, capt. Robinson, in 46 days from Gibraltar. In the latter came passenger captain Chamberlin, late of the Argus, of this port, vessel and cargo condemned at Gibraltar. Captain C. has favoured us with a Gibraltar paper of the 21st of September, from which we have taken a list of the combined fleet in Cadiz, and one article respecting the conduct of the French in the action of the 22d of July. The United States frigate John Adams, was to sail in three days for the United States.
The combined squadron in Cadiz, is composed of 18 French ships of the line and 5 frigates, 17 Spanish ships of the line and two frigates, in all 35 sail of the line and 7 frigates. The British blockading force was 24 ships of the line, two of the ships being either at Tetuan or Gibraltar Bay. Admiral Nelson had not arrived, but would probably arrive in three or four days, as we observe he went on board the Victory, on the 15th of September, having with him four sail of the line. If the combined fleet did not go out while only opposed by 24 sail of the line, it will not probably move after the arrival of lord Nelson.
The New York Evening Post says; a merchant of this city has this moment handed us the following extract of a letter received by this day's eastern mail.
Hamburg, August 30, 1805.
The Emperor of the French has just announced the Declaration of WAR , to the Emperor of Germany at the Diet of Ratisbon. This news is official.
PHILADELPHIA, November 13.
Affairs with Spain.—We learn from a source of information which our readers may rely upon as correct, that the Richmond story of the Spanish minister having demanded his passports of our govern-
ment, is devoid of any foundation, and without the least shadow of truth.
On the subject of Spanish captures, we learn that many of them are owing to the want of proper papers, such as are required by the treaty which exists between the two governments. That treaty (in the 17th article we believe, but not having it before us we cannot be positive as to the article) requires that our vessels should be furnished with passports of a particular description, not the consular passports which our merchants are in the habit of obtaining and relying upon, and the want of such as are described in the treaty is alleged as the reason why so many of our vessels have been captured and carried into Algeciras.
We are confidently assured that the government of Spain, so far from authorizing the capture of American vessels, have recently issued circular orders to all their officers to treat the American flag with particular respect.
As this information may be relied upon, we hope soon to find our commerce relieved from one of the embarrassments under which it has so long been labouring.
More Tirrour.—The Aurora informs us that Gov. M'Kean on Saturday last commenced actions (we suppose for libels) against the following persons.
Matthew Lawler, late Mayor of the city.
Thomas Leiper, late president of one of the city councils.
Dr. M. Leib, member of congress.
Jacob Mitchel, late a member of the state legislature, and
William Duane, organ of the publick will.
The following extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, contains some facts not generally known.
[Boston pap.]
"I can now state to you positively, that the Ex-Bashaw in a formal note to Mr. Eaton, has expressed his formal acquiescence in the treaty, and in strong, unequivocal language, has made his acknowledgments of the services rendered him by the American government, admitting at the same time that, failing in every thing that was expected on his part after they had reached Derne, he could not reasonably, and therefore did not expect a continuance of their co-operation. His note concluded with thanking the chief of America and all his servants for their friendly aid and intentions. This note was sent to —, in order to defeat any insinuations injurious to the honour of the United States in their relations to the Ex-Bashaw."
"With respect to the ransom, Mr. Lear held out ten days, and until it was finally believed that without it the 300 prisoners would not be released. The Bashaw admitted that he could not contend with such a force, and that he should be compelled to abandon the city, but repeatedly and vehemently declared, that if the Americans were bent upon destroying his town, his fortifications, his shipping, his fame, and every thing that was Tripolitan they must expect in return that he would destroy every thing that was American within his power—adding and repeating in a ferocious manner that after his having killed a father and a brother, he should not have any scruples in killing a few infidels."
"The officers I have seen who were prisoners are clear and decided in the opinion that the Bashaw could not consistently with his own safety have delivered up the prisoners without a ransom; and that if Mr. Lear persisted, very little resistance would have been made to our squadron; but amidst the desolation of the bombardment and cannonade, the prisoners would all have been massacred."
"Other facts.—A few years since the Batavian republic paid to Tripoli for a continuation of peace, and when there was not a prisoner to be redeemed, 80,000 dollars. Admiral De Winter, who was the negotiator, was at that time before Tripoli, with five ships of the line."
"Denmark paid about three years since 60,000 dollars for a peace. Sweden paid lately 170,000 dollars for a peace; and these powers pay besides consular presents, tribute, &c."
RALEIGH, (N. C.) November 11.
At the last Term of Fayetteville Superior Court, came on to be tried an indictment for an assault on the honorable Duncan M'Farland, the Representative in Congress for that district. The grounds of the suit, as related, are as follows:—At the last congressional election, when it was known that Mr. M'Farland was elected, some mischievous young men pelted him in the streets of Fayetteville with rotten eggs. Mr.

M c Farland swore that a certain young man was among those who committed the affray—but two persons made oath to the contrary. It was generally known, however, that the "man whom the people delight to honour," was most indecently besmeared, but who it was that done it, we presume Mr. M c Farland did not make appear, as the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty—of course the cost fell upon the plaintiff.
ALEXANDRIA, November 16.
The United States brig Franklin from Gibraltar, passed this place this morning for Washington—general Eaton came passenger in her and landed at Hampton for the purpose of proceeding by land to the seat of government.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Annapolis, to his friend in Baltimore, dated 10th November, 1805.
"The d—l is let loose in Annapolis, I don't suppose in the reign of Robespierre, there was more confusion in Paris or a greater uproar in the national assembly, than there has been for some days past in our state legislature. Montgomery bears down every thing with the strong hand of oppression—he rules with the iron rod of power. Yesterday he insulted the speaker so grossly, whilst addressing him in the chair, that the speaker bounced out of his seat, saying, he knew no rule or law by which he was bound to sit there and hear himself abused; and, taking up his hat, left the house. The whole assembly was thrown into confusion—some followed the speaker—others alarmed at the dreadful catastrophe—A few of the more considerate, feeling for the dignity of the state, vented their curses against poor Montgomery, and eagerly seized upon this opportunity to bring upon him the odium and execration of the more prudent members of the house. Had the thing been properly conducted, it would have eventually operated greatly in favor of the court; but the demo's outwitted us. The speaker, who, it is said, and I believe it, had written a challenge to Montgomery, took his seat again, having previously been waited on by a messenger appointed by the house."
An explanation took place, Montgomery proceeded with his speech, and in the course of it, with a manly tone and suitable gestures, broke out in an eloquent reprimand upon the citizens of Annapolis. He took occasion to introduce into his debate a letter (an anonymous one) which he had received a few hours before, warning him of his danger—that he was to be waylaid by three stout fellows, whose intention it was to maim him in such a manner, as to prevent his attending the house, the day the question should be taken upon the general court bill. When this letter was read, the house was in arms. Montgomery seemed truly alarmed at his situation—I forgot to tell you that the debate before the house was a leading question to the destruction of the court. It was, whether the speaker should have a vote upon the great question of the court? The speaker was in favour of the court, and the house being exactly divided, 40 and 40, of course, the court was lost, unless the speaker had a vote. The question was lost owing to mismanagement, for it seems there was a majority in favour of it. The speaker has consequently resigned. None of the members will serve as speaker, unless they have the privilege of voting. God grant this may be the case. Every thing will then be safe for the next year."
RICHMOND, November 17.
In the ship William Penn, which arrived in Hampton Roads on the 4th inst. came passenger FULWAR SKIPWITH, Esq. consul general for the U. S. at Paris, who reached this city on Friday night. He was on his way to Washington, charged with important communications to the government. On the subject of our relations with Spain and her ally France, Mr. Skipwith hitherto preserved a studied and prudent silence. The Norfolk papers indeed presume to say, that without any authority from Mr. S. that "no hope of an accommodation of our differences with that nation now remains."
Were we disposed to express our own opinion on a subject so completely wrapt up in the mazes of diplomacy, it would be, that very little progress has been made in the negotiation at Madrid since Mr. Monroe left that city, as no minister plenipotentiary has been there since his departure; that the seat of diplomatic skill has been in all probability transferred to Paris; that the original grounds of the negotiation have been altered by new propositions, and that it would not be a
subject of great surprise to us, if the cession of the Floridas, had been thrown into the mass of propositions.
With respect to the prospect of peace or war between the late combined powers and France, Mr. Skipwith only remarks that the Austrian minister was in Paris when he left it (20th September,) that an army of two hundred thousand Frenchmen were about to take their station on the Rhine under Gen. Berthier as chief of the staff, from which it was supposed the emperor himself would take command, if war was the issue. That Messina was in Italy with another immense army, ready to proceed instantly, upon a declaration of war; but that even under these circumstances there was great doubt as to a war with the emperor of Germany.
On Thursday the 14th inst. a dinner was given at the Eagle-Tavern, by the citizens of Richmond, to our brave countryman GENERAL EATON, to testify their grateful sense of his distinguished services and heroic enterprise, in the expedition to Derna. The company was numerous and respectable; and graced by the presence of the Chief Justice of the United States, the Judges of the Court of Appeals and of the General Court. The Honorable Alexander M c Rea was appointed President of the day, and the Honorable Alexander Stuart, Vice-President. The most perfect harmony prevailed; and every heart seemed animated by those sentiments, which the occasion was so well calculated to inspire.

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
The returns of the election in Pennsylvania, have at length been received at Lancaster. The total majority in favor of M c Kean, is officially stated at 5,132—But it is presumed that when the votes are examined before the senate, 393 will be subtracted from this amount, on account of that number of votes, in Bucks county, which were erroneously endorsed by the clerk of elections Samuel, instead of Simon Saydet, and will reduce M c Kean's majority to 4,757.
Lieut. James Biddle, of the City of Philadelphia, late a prisoner in Tripoli, has been appointed to the command of Gun Boat, No. 1. st

[Lex. Gaz.]
Mediterranean Trade. —A memorial has been forwarded from Spain, by the Americans, stating the injuries now sustained by our merchants trading up the Mediterranean, owing to the depredations of the Spaniards, and urging the absolute necessity of our Government's taking measures to protect that trade. It is dictated by an energy of tone, which we trust may command attention.
[Boston paper.]
It will be remembered that we gave our decided approbation to the bill for regulating the conduct of armed vessels bound to St. Domingo, and other parts of the West-Indies. We did so upon a conviction that it was a wise, sound, and just national act, duly and strictly concurrent with our duty, as one of those common-wealths bound up in the excellent, salu-
tary belt of the Laws of Nations. In the same impartial temper we wait to be informed, through the proper channels—that is to say, through the constituted authorities of both countries—what the grounds are upon which the recent captures made by England, and by Spain, shall be justified or else disowned. In the inchoate state of national differences before purposeful insult and a deliberate design appear on the part of the nation whose people commit the aggression, all is matter of counsel, exposition, reasoning, and reference to laws. Rights are considered on both sides. It is only when obstinacy on one side or the other, prevents adjustment, or reparation for insult is fastidiously refused, that it becomes the duty of the press to urge the Magistrate to act, and it is not till he has refused to act up to the honor of the country that it ought to rebuke him for not acting—Where there appears any want of a lively sense of what may be due to the country's glory; where there is a purposeful protraction of effort, making a feebleness of spirit—and where a concurrent injury arises from a delay of reparation and adjustment, then it is the duty as it is the glory, of a free press to hold the language of truth to the Magistrate, who must be supposed full as willing, and from the superior knowledge of facts which his official information affords him, must be presumed better than other men qualified to judge of the matter. It is for these reasons, which appear to us just and satisfactory that we abstain from intermeddling in the affair of the late captures, till they come with more definite circumstance before us. When unjust encroachments were made by a British frigate in New-York harbour, we reprobated the facts—hazarding, at the same time, an assertion that reparation would be made and that the Commanding Officer would be punished—Reparation was made, and the Officer was suspended. And it may be remembered that we argued this way—If the British Court has given orders warranting such aggressions, the orders would not be confined to one or two vessels, they would be general, and extend to all Commanders: But it appears that they do not extend to all; for the same papers that convey accounts of the aggression of one, convey accounts of marked kindness and civility from many others. The conclusion was obvious—that it was the fault of the Officer; and miserable indeed would be the nation that was subject to be implicated in a wasteful war for the conduct of every inferior Officer. Where Officers are of that rank and authority that their acts must be considered as the deliberate acts of the Executive, the demand for prompt satisfaction becomes inevitable. Such men act from the first counsel of the nation, and take their commands from the first authority.
With respect to the captures of our vessels by Spain, something of hostile altercation has passed between the cabinets of that country and this to give, perhaps a tincture of warfare to them; still they may, for ought we know, be yet justified upon the basis of the Law of Nations: As to the national vessels of France and England, we must suppose an absurdity beyond the limits of likelihood, to imagine that they want to irritate us at this moment; and for the Robbers of the Seas who hoist their flags, there is but one remedy—Sink them! If their courts justify them, it is good cause of war. As to national vessels, the course of administering is plain: "Have you authorised your cruisers in these aggressions?" "No!" "Well then punish the officers severely, and make reparation." If they say yes, then comes the expository question, why? If their reason is just, & founded on the law of Nations, or on right; then forbid (as you did in the St. Domingo business) your ships to violate those laws, or to carry articles contraband of war. But if their reason is not good, and they persist in wrong, then, without delay or further exposition, throw off passiveness and draw the sword. While the executive is acting thus, the press may wait the issue, without impairing its privileges, or falling short of its duty. If a privateer, no matter whether French, or English, or Spanish, comes up to our harbour, and at our bar takes a vessel, she ought to be sunk; and it is a shame that there is not American men of war in every port, to do so.
