NEW YORK, MAY 19.

James Workman, Efq. late Judge of New Orleans
County, was on the 4th March lad tried before the
United States' Court for the Orleans Difi!kJ, on a
charge of a high mifdemeanour. in felting on font a
military expedition :spina the Spanifh Provinces of
Florida and Mexico. When the Counfel for the
profecution had gone through their cafe, Mr.
Workman left it to the Jury, without adducing any
evidence, or offering any obferva,ions in his defence.
The Jury immediately found a verdin of Not Guilty.
A multitude of malicious publications appeared
againfl Mr. Workman, after his acquittal, but they
have returned to plague the inventors—:rod ferved
to illullratc and to d 3 honour to Mr. Wu: kman's
charaSer. _ _ - .

MAY 13..—•The United States frigate, Chefapeake,
Captain Gordon, (lays a Norfolk paper) is on her
way down from Wafhington. Commodore James
Barron goes out in this fhip, to take the command in
the Mediterranean. The Wafp (loop of War, on the
13th inflant, was at Crany Ulan& Mr. Purviance,
who, it is laid, is to go out in her wit's the &kith
treaty, had not then arrived from Wafhington.
The Prefident of the United States arrived at the
city of Wafhington, from Monticello, Sittlrday lath

CAPTAIN Love.—The deportment of Capt. L'AIP,
of his Britannic Majefly's !hip the Driver, is on
many accounts worthy of the ferious confideration
of the American people:—Firft, as a proof, if any
were wanting, of the determination of the prefent
Britifh Cabinet with raped to America ; next, as a
comment upon the conduit of the Executive of this
country; thirdly, as it opens a profpeilive view to a
feries of future affirBing events; and, hilly, as a
fymptom of the unqualified contempt into which the
patty now in power have brought this once great
and refpedled, becaufe refpeitable, nation.
What appears molt extraordinary is, that Mr. Jef.
ferfon fhould not all this time have caught a momen-
tary glimmering of the end, which, as certainly as
effeit follows caufe, mutt have refulted from his and
his party's conduit to Great Britain. While he very
prifoundly lot all his hopes, and what is worfe, his
fears reft upon Bonaparte, and fat comfortably down
with Monfieur TURA/Au, as GAxAOANTUA fat with
1 his dog, (be lied the dog': tail, and the dog !crotched bit
I elbow, lays R•asLats), he never refleited upon the
poffibility that honett John Bull, good natured as he
is, might be made angry; but indulged in every pe-
tulance to him, to pleafe his high and mighty friend,
the Whiikert. Put he has reckoned without his hoft ;
and were nobody but hitnfclf concerned, it were well
that he, fhould be made to feel it. The country,
however, will unfortunately be the fufferer; and their
only remedy will be in the fentence they !ball finally
1 pr .n ,once upon him.
We believe it is the &II time that ever veffels were
(hut out by the Government Proclamation of any
country, from hapitable relief and flicker from the
Rants and dills ales of the fea. How different was
die conduit of the Governor of Cuba, in the war of
116 t. A Briti(h veffel was unavoidably driven by
lirefj of weather into that iflaad—indead of making
prizewf her, as he might; the anguti Spaniard or.
dared her relief and free regrefs—declared that he
wowlst not take advantage of her diftreffes, Or. join
with the elements to deitroy her, and ordered her
not to be molefled for two clays from her failing.—
Bat between an old Cbrylian Nobleman and a mo.
dud Philofiphical Dentocrtitt there is fome difference.

THE TURKS AND RUSSIANS.
In a preceding colume we have given Come eztraas
from the Courier du Bar RUA to the toth infiant, re•
lative to the movements of the Servian and Turkifit
armies. It will be fern from it, that the war has put
on quite a different afpea there from what the French
Official Paper would have us fuppofe. The affairs
of the Servians are not quite fo defperate as they are
reprefented in the lifouiteur. The fituation of Mott L-
IMN, and the Ruffians, we are in hopes, will prove
not to be worfe than that of their Allies. The re
treat from the Danube was abfolutely neceCary on
his part. The principal Turkiffi army, inilead cf
proceeding to attack him, marched towards Ifmail,
which was far in the rear of. one of his wings. Had
they reached that point, the (afar of the whole of
Mtcnsison's corps would have been endangeted.—
We believe it will be proved, that it was not from
fear or weaknefs that he retired, but for the porpofe
of giving battle to the enemy, when he could do fo
with advantage.
