WASHINGTON CITY, Tune "a.
INGH7 ARTTLLERT

On Saturday aud yesterday, the cite
Gems Of Washington had the satisfaction
ofwisnessing, on the open space in front
Of the presidents house, the interesting
manGuvres Of a corps Of light artillery
(sometimes denominated flying artiile-
~ belonging to the army OF the u.
States, which has just been organized,
under the command of captain Peter.
The celebrity Of movement, and rapid
discharges, either in advancing or re-
treating, manifested by this corps, were
convincing proofs Of the great utility Of
this kind of artillery in battle. On the
line of march (and indeed, in all its evo-
fu,ions the corps has a most animated
appearance. Part Of the artillerists are
mounted on horseback, and others IN a
light kind Of carriage very convenient
tor the purpose. The horses are ex-
e-ed'ngly fine and the men appeared
to be very expert

vileges upon tire land Why therefore j.
he tb be set up as the. sole Possessor Of
the trident? A greater curse does NOS
remain to be inflicted upon the world,
than that the supreme authority q sea
should be gras2ed by the syrant of the
= land. The arbitrary acts Of England
would appear, beside his outrages, too
diminu,ive to render it credible, that
they were the causes Of the combination
that permitted him to COMM, them.
Yet the liberty Of the seas Is the. lure
which is held up 70 Us to abandon them
altogether in like manner as the Berlin
and Milan DEGREES, which are the hane
of commerce, have been pretended BY
France to be the measures best adapted
to compel Great Britain, to surrender
what she has refused, as being her ma
rhine rights. The truth, however, 10
not to be concealed, that those DEGREES
were intended to cripple y. exclusively,
and force US into war with England {;
and by retiring from the seas in order 70
vindieate its rights, our governmen o, ne.
yer expected to see them established.-
The non- intercourse law was conte N.
porary with the Berlin decree, and the
previous demonstration Congress gave
of an intention to pass the law, probably
produced the determination Of Buona-
parte to issue the decree. Again. the
literal execution Of the decree preceded
our embargo, and the Milan dee, zee pro-
bably afforded the hint to make Il per.
manent. Thus has every injury done
BY Bounaparte, been followed By ano.
Their, which has been self.infiicted. It
is course of political insanity which
must lead Us into the mos. hideous and
Inundated situation.

Two French armed shooners, the Ex.
change, capt. BONNAFFON, and
Jeune Esselle, Capt. CARVINE, ar.
rived at this port on the 18th ult. from
Barraeoa, via St. Mays River. One
OF them had on board cargo of Coffee,
which was either sold or left in the hands
:. Of their agents in this place. They
were permitted to take on board such a
quantity Of provision as was deemed,
by the proper authority, sufficient for
their voyage, and they sailed again on
the 3oth uit. When they arrived here,
they were reported to be commanded BY
captains Youx and Fellr.
Yesterday morning letters were re-
eeived in town, by express, from St.
Marys, stating, that these same priva.
teers who had received the rights of
hospitality in this port, had arrived in
the River st Mays, and had plundered
the brig Charles. Of Baltimore, efFYour

Brownlow has forwarded his protest to
amereantile house in this city, and has
requs sted that an attachment might be
laid upon any property which might be
found in the hands Of their agents here.
This, we are informed, was done yester.
day but whether any thing will be ul.

owners, is yet to be ascertained. Capt.

WASHINGTON CITY, Iuly 4.

AfteF-a full investigation of such evil
denee and circumstances as have come to
the knowledge of the court in the course
OF its proceedings, correct statement
OF which is hereunto annexed, and after
mature delbera,ion upon the same, the
following opinion on the amount of tn.
testimony is respectfully submitted.
1t has been proved to the satisfacsi zion
OF this court, that Brigadier General
James Wilkinson had been engaged in q
tobacco trade with Governor Miro of
cw.Orleans, before he entered the A.
merlean army in 1891 /; that he received
large sums ofmoney for tobacco deliver.
ed in New. Orleans, in the year one
thousand seven hundred and eighty.
nine, aud that large quantity Of .obae.
CO, belonging to him, was conde mned
and stored in New. Orleans, in tina, year =
but It has not been proved, and after the
fullest investigation and comparison Of
testimony in possession Of the court it
does not appear, that he has received A.
ny money from the Spanish government
or any Of its officers, since the year one
thousand seven hundred and ninety-one,
or that he has ever received money from
that government or its officers for any o.
taer purpose but in payment for tobacco,
and other produce, sold and delivered
By him or his agents.
1t has been stated by the General that
after his damaged tobacco hadla some
years On store at New orleans, his agent
there received for it and RENTED to him,
the several sums, credited IN the copy
OF an account current presented by hiGa
and marked No. --, and under
the impressions that the letters accom-
Panying the said account were written By
his said agent Philip Nolan, the court
thinkth highly probable that the state
mentis correct. They however do not
consider the verify of it Of the least i'm.
Portanee in the case, sin &C if he did re-
ceive the money as stated, the transac-
ton was fully justi6able, and if he did
not 90 receive it, there is no proof OF his
having received 4 at all.
Itis therefore the opinion Of this court,
that there is no evidence of Brigadier
General James Wiikinson's having at a.
ny time received a pension fromtheSpan-
ish government, or of his, having receive
ed money from the government Of Spain
or any ofits officers oragents for corrupt
purposes: andsthe court has no hesita-
t'on in saying, that as far a. his conduct
has been developed BY this enquiry, he
