The last article brings to my recollection
very important fact which MIR. Randolph
onght not 10 have omitted in the comparative
view he took of the cost of the Navy under
tho two administrations Mr.. Adams's snd
Mr. JeiTerson's) The administration OF Mr.
Jefferson had to pay the whole amount unpaid
of the contracts made in the proceeding Ad-
ministraiion. Among these contracts, the
most heavy were for the timber oil "a gun
ships--the cannon for 6 and the copper Tor
the same number it is believed-besdes an
chors, &c. Now to my knowledge these
contracts were not executed for years alter
Mr.. Jefferson came into office-some indeed
are not to this day--and payments to an I'M
mems amount have been made upon those
contracts under the administration OF MIR.
Jefferson. Now ask any candid man to
which Administration ought the sums thus
paid 10 be charged Surely to Mr.. Adams's;
for under his administration the contracts
were madc--Mr. Jefferson did not and pro-
badly would not have made them; but he was
bound In good faith to receive the articles
contracted for, and to pay for them according
20 the contracts made under his predecessors.
MIR. Randolph states, that there were expen-
.dcd under the Adams Administration, mil.
lions Of dollars for navy, q suspect he has
here omitted to charge the amount OF the
frigatcs which we're built by the Merchants
and paid for in stock) and that the Admins
tration of Mr.. Jefferson cost Sl2,0Oo,ooo.
Now if we charge the Adams's Administra-
tioa with the amount of all its contracts, the
account will probably stand thus, Creeping
out Of view the Frigates built by the Mer-
chants) Slo 100000, TO the Adams's Admin
.istration, and 81 100000 to the Jefferson
Administration. will then admit these to
be the amounts with which these administra-
tions are chargeable for the support OF a navy
--and what is the result The four years adj
ministration Of Mr.. Adams cost s 100000
and the eight years Administration Of Mr..
Jefferson l,ooo,0oo-or the Adams's Adj
ministrAtion averaged and half millions OF
dollars per annum, and tn : Jefferson Admin
istration averaged one million three hundred
and seventy-6ve thousand dollars per annun
--or one million one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars year Tess than the Adams's
>sdministraion. And yet Mr.. Randolph says
that the Administration Of Mr.. Adams, com
pared to that Of Mr.. Jefferson, was tattern

From Gibraltar.

Ar. yesterday, sch. Industry, capt. Harris,
8 days from Gibraltar, capt. II. has furnish
ed us with Gibraltar papers to the 2lst July (;
but they afford us no political news of any
novelty. The accounts from Spain and Por-
tugal, make no mention of the reported bat
tie between the French and Portuguese they
however confirm our previous accounts OF
the unhealthy condition of the French armies
in Spain of the continued and successful
incursions of the Spanish peasantry, and of
the increasing hatred which is manifested a.
gainst the French, in every quarter.-A
Spanish gentleman, arrived at Gibraltar, from
the environs of Seville, states,that the French
were attacked near Seville, from the lst to
the 9th July, by the divisions of Ballesteros
and Capon with great success ;--that great
numbers of dead and wounded were seen car
ryIng into Seville, and that when he came a.
way, the firing of cannon and musquetry was
still continued.-The papers also state, that
King Joseph had returned to Madrid, and had
dismissed from his life guards, all the Span
iards who had been employed about his
person.

where they left small garrson,and are gone

BILE body of troops have marched, supposed
towards Madrid, to repair their losses in Cas-

The Venus has arrived at Salem from the
River Plate. We learn by her, that the in
habitants of Buenos Ayres, like those Of the
Caracas, had assumed an Independent sta
ton, deposed the Viceroy of the Seville Jun
Ferdinand VII. shall be restored and sent
deputies throughout the province to solicit a
cooperation. Though loyalty to Ferdinand
VII. was professed, an absolute and perpe,u-
al Indedeneencc Of Old Spain was understood
to be the real design among the leaders. Ev-
cry thing was conducted without violence, and
a vast majority were in favour Of this step. 1t

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
From ENGLAND.

On Thursday, arrived at New-York, his
Britannica malesty's frigate Venus, capt.
Crowford, in ~ days from Portsmouth, hav-
ing on board MIR. Morrier, the newly appoin.
ted British Charge Des Affairs and despat-
ches from Mr.. Pinkney to our government.
Mr.. Jackson will return home in this frigate.
The papers by the Venus, are to July 7lh,
but furnish nothing particularly novel or in
.teres,ing. They briefly state, That fleet OF
l9 ships from St. Helena, had arrived off the
Isle of Wight-that 1000 troops from Car
thagsna, had arrived at Cadiz, 10 assist in the
defence of that City that the French fleet
at Toulon, were in readiness for sea, and we're
expected to sail on some expedition immedi-
atey-that the Scheldt feet was in perfect
readiness for sea.
Accounts from Spain and Portugal, are on
ly to the middle of June they however state
one or two facts, which tend TO corroborate
the news of the defeat Of Gen. Crawford, on
the frontiers of Portugal. 1t is stated, that
" the 4Sd reg. with the light troops, formed
the advanced brigade of Lord Weliington's
army, under the command of Gen. Crawford,
three leagues in front of Almeida that they
had several skirmishes with the advanced
cavalry of the Fennch army that their posi-
tion was considered strong one and that
no apprehensions were entertained ot an at
tack, unless by an immense superiority OF
force in which case they would be obliged
to retreat towards Lisbon and Piniche."
