THE COURT MARITAL.
The Court Martial at Frederick town
mas been IN great confusion within a few
aays Past, IN consequence OF the unexpec-
led appearance OF Thomas Powers, the no.
ted Spanish Agent ; who had been sum
.honcd from New Orleans as a witness.
On ms hrst appearing in TIE streets he was
ilsse.i, and brow~bsat i'll Courtby General

enquiry and the Court would have closed
IFS slttings in few days, had not Powers
''Fr'ved-5ut the important testimony and
explanations he has given to the Court
seem to have confounded the Generals
friends. One document alone would hang
nm m any country but this. The facts are
as foilow.-ln 1908, while Mr Madison
(then Secretary OF state) was discussing
with the Spanish Minister Yruio, the right
OF deposit, and Wilkinson was also at the
scat of government, he (the General) was
secretly instigating his friends, the Span
lards, to withhold that right from the u.
states, the depriving US of which Says Mr..
Monroe to Mr.. Foster) was alone cause of

has been produced and put On the record
of the Court in the following words
"I'riUate and strictly Confidential"

are talked of, but not expected bv me,

ellis OF SPAN and the opening Of the port

ment ct France, than our own minister at
Paris The above frank and correct opin.
ion of General Armstrong; of the course
the u. States ought to have taken towards
France, so repugnant to the views and
measures of our Executive, is striking
evidence of what had long been suspected,
that he was not the confident of all the Sc.
crets ofour cabinet in relation to France.
Another inference is deducible from the
numerous facts exhibited concerning the
embargo. Being, as far as it zoent, in
conformity with the views and wishes OF
Bonsparte, to suppose that he would re-
woke his DEGREES to obtain the repeal OF the
embargo, would be the height of absurdity.
But Mr.. Jefferson, satisfied that the Brit.
ish orders 10 council, being made IN yefdA-
alton ofthe Berlin decree, would not be
revoked unless this decree should first be
repealed-anticipated the necessary conse.
quence-the permanently of the embargo,
according to its form and tenor. For the
Berlin Decree is not repealed and was not
intended tc be repealed; on the contrary,
Bonaparte, at the moment when it was is.
sued, declared it to be "the fundamental
law Ct the empire"
But it has been said, that the British or.
ders in council were not only cause, but
the principal cause of the embargo. The
confidence with which this has been advan.
ced is truly astonishing. The declaration
was made by Mr.. John G Adams while a
senator in Congress. 1t shall be examin-
ed in future number.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.

The London Courier contains the fol.
lowing remarks upon the expected rupture
between Russia and France.
"The indications Of war between France
and Russia become stronger-so strong that
we may expect it to take place within very
short time, if the intelligence in the Ger.
man papers and letters be true. The for.
mer deserve the most attention, because
being under the control of France they would
not dare to say word encouraging the idea
of rupture, if they had not received in
structions from the French government
The press forms particular department of
the French administration. Every paper
on the continent is watched with the utmost
solicitude. The French minister, 10 every
town where paper is published, has a d.
rect communication and control over it, and
conveys his hints, or issues his orders in
the most imperative manner. The German
papers which are arrived to the 18th, state,
under the head of Berlin, that the king of
Prussia has, for political reasons, declined
having an interview with the emperor Alex.
ander-that the organization of the national
guards proceeds with great activity, to the
regret of the inhabitants, who consider it
as an indication of tranquility being inter.
rupted.
This can only relate to war with Russia,
in which Prussia, reluctantly of course,
will be compelled to take part with France.
The private letters are more positive and
direct than the public papers. Some assert
that the Emperor Alexander is determined
to adopt system of neutrality, feeling the
continuance of war with this country to be
'uinous to his subjects, and consequently
to his finances. Such a determination will
be considered by Bonaparte as sufficient
ground for war. With all his professions
of regard for the rights of neutrals, he ne.
yer suffers any power to be neutral. "Who
is not for me, is against me-" The letters
from Koningsberg and Memel say, that
Russia, seeing that war is inevitable, has
already formed an Army of Observation in
Poland, consisting of so, 900 men.-Ar.
tillery has arrived on the Polish frontier,
and in addition to the Imperial Guards who
were to leave Petersburg on the 10th,
drafts have been made from the troops in
Finland, where only small force is to be
left.
Towards Westphalia French troops
have been moving for some time, and there
are said to be in that territory between 40
and so 900 men,"
