FROM THE BALrlmonE WH1e.


General WILKINSON takes pleasure in
Offering his grateful acknow Judgements to the
the editors of the Wing, and thase CT every
other public print, whose liberality and love
ofjustice have inclined them to the side of
an injured tellowman: But, he's compelled
oy sense or propriety and self respect, to
request their silence, on the subject of the va
r1ous prosecutions under which he has suffer-
ed during the last four years. inasmach as
he is to be brought before a general court
martial, to answer TO the charges preferred
aginst him and any attempt to anticipate
his vindication, would not only be essentially
wrong, but would be seized on by his per-
secntors, to implicate him for an uncandid
appeal to the prejudices of the count, with
the design to proposes the members in his
favor; a resort which the general disdains,
and which is not necessary to the assertion
of his honor.

It will be recollccted by our readers that
the house of representatives, previous to their
late adjournment, turned overto the PresiaSpt
of the United States voluminOus mass of
papers which they had collected on the sub
subject of the charges alledged against gen.
eral w. on which the Grand Inquest of the
Nation, as it has become fashionable to call
the house Of representatives when acting in
heir inquisitorial capacity, after entertain
ing formal and expensive enquiry into the
matter for two. years, declined forming any
conclusion or expressing any opinion. The
rumor of the day being confirmed by the a.
bove, the business has at length taken the
course which the opposers of the congress
sional enquiry uniformly declared it must
The further they proceed, finding themselves
plunging into deeper difficulties, and at length
perceiving clearly that congress could never
prosecute the business to a conclusion, and
therefore ought to have never undertaken it,
the very respectable committee Of congress
who had the subject last under considera-
ton recommended to the house to turn the
affair over at once to the constitutional tri-
bunal, and thus rid their shoulders Of the bur-
then they had voluntarily taken up.

Relensc of American Propertu.

Release OF .dMe!lcGH Properly.
Whilst with every good American, we
are bound to rejoice at even remote ap-
pearance of the release of any property of
our fellow-citizens, held by Bonaparte in
sequestration. we are sorry to find, that
the amount designated in the intelligence
furnished by our correspondent at New
York, does not embrace greater class
of French spoIiations. The cargoes not
covered by licences, which arrived in
France after the first of November last,
consisted almost exclusively of fish and
cotton, transported in small fast sailing
vessels, which would not admit of stowage
to any valuable amount. All the proper
ty therefore, promised to be restored, does
not amount probably to more than one
hundred thousand dollars, certainly not to
two hundred thousand dollars. For the
release, should it ever be converted from
the promise of a faithless despot into a
fact, is confined to such American vessels
as arrived in France subsequent to the st
of November, and which have been so
fortunate as in the passage not to have be-
come obnoxious to the operation Of the
Berlin, Milan and Bayonne DEGREES. Nor
does the promise include the restoration Of
what was seized under the Rambouillet
decree, amounting to more than forty

template compensation for the many va.
luablc vessels and cargoes burnt and sunk
under the orders of Bonaparte. Should,
therefore, the full amount of what is now
promised to he restored, be really extri.
Gated from the tylant's grippe, it cannot be

faith. but rather designed for sinister pur.

For let it be carefully remarked and

ready to surrender her government. her

of her revengelul and implaeable enemy.
We are disposed to consider this aspect
towards partial restoration OF seized
property, as having two objects princi-
pally in view list, to give color and
counteaance to the cooperating acts Of
orr government in the continental system,
to which We have become parties in form

an amount of property really return to the
hands of its owners. it will be cheap
proof Of Bonaparte's love, which will not
fail to swell the hopes and quicken the
zeal Of his numerous retainers in and out
of the government. In the most favora-
bic point of view, itcan be considered as
but a very trifling acknowledgements Tor
the condescention exercised towards him
in confiscating both British and American
property to larger amount, under the
retrospective act Of the last session, COM
monty called the non-intercourse law.
And so we have another example of the
cunning tyrant alternating his treatment
between chastisement and Establishments,
in order more certainly to secure compli-
ancc with his will, but in both cases taking
care to render the discipline costly to US
alone.
