regards the lupprdTion of Wood's oHilloryof the adminiflration of John Adams" Has become of no moment, fmce the book itfelf has been published ; for it .seems to be unftcrfally agreed that the book, fofar as any effeft could be produc ed by it, was calculated to do more inju ry than benefit to the republican caufe— bat the bold allegations, which purport that you combined with the federal party to defeat the election of Mr. JefFerlon, occasion some solicitude among those to whom you are unknown. Those indeed who have wirneffed your various and uniform exertions in the cause of liberty, and the firmnefs and indepen dence of your conduft on every occasion, arc not to be shaken in their confidence or esteem bjy anonymous calumnies; but they can only express their own opinions, and repeat the declaration which they are in formed you have made.—This leaves room for ourenemies to cavil —ls feme one weie authorifed from you to make these decla rations, it would I think, remove the ap prehenfiens which are entertained by fomc honeftmen, warm in the cause of freedom, jealous of their rights, and watchful of those who Live the honor of being their servants. Our intimacy in our youth, and in the army, is generally known in this state My address to the people of Burlington in September 1800, wherein! ftatedyour services in the field and in the cabinet, and recommended you for vice-prefidenr, is not forgotten ; and these circumstances have occasioned more enquiries or me re fpefting the calumnies again!! you, than would otherwise nave been made, I have no other apology to offer for this iutrafion than to affine you that it proceeds from motives founded in patrio tism, and in that cordial frindfhip, which hasever fuhfitfed between us. I avail tnyfelf of this opportunity to renew the assurances of my refpeft and esteem; and that I am, Mod truly your friend, JOSEPH BLOOMFIELD. The honorable Aaron Barr, Flee. P rest dent of the U. S, Ihe vice-president's Anf<wcr, New-York, September 21, 1802. Dear Sir, You are at liberty to declare from me, that all those charges and insinuations, which aver or intimate that 1 advised or countenanced the opposition tnade to Mr. Jefferfon, pending the late election for balloting for president; that I proposed or agreed to any terms with the federal party, or with any individual of either party j that I affiented to be held up in opposition to him, or attempted to with draw from him the vote or support of any man, whether in or out of Congress; that ALL SUCH ASSERTIONS AND INTIMATI ONS ARE FALSE AND GROUNDLESS. I have not thought that calumny, un supported by proof or ike authority of a mme t could so far receive attention from the public as to require an answer or even a denial; yet if you (hall imagine that any declaration from me can be neceflary to remove doubts from the mind of one honed man, you may confider this letter as submitted to your diferetion, to publish if you (hall think proper. Accept, I pray you, my thanks for your friendly solicitude, and affiuranccs of the high refpeft and consideration with which I am. Your obed’t ferv’t, . ' A. BURR. Bis excellency Governor 8100-nfidd . WASHINGTON CITY, Oaober r. We this day offer to our readers the mod interesting details, in the foreign prints, refpefting the mnu measures a dspted by Buonaparte . From the day this man substituted force in the room of taenational will, by depoung the Direc tory and dispersing the councils, we have hud but one opinion. We diftinftly per ceived that nothing could juftify the out age but the principles of military usur pation. Those principles have since been rapidly developed. One blow aimed at liberty has succeeded another, until no thing but the name, and indeed scarcely now remains. The late aft of the Consul diftated to 'he French People the duty of naming frionaparte First Consul for life. The htnjrte declares (marvellous declaration !) 'hatoutof 3,577,259 votes, 3,568,185 in the affirmative. With this the iufatiable ambition of ®>litary usurpation is not fatisfied. But ®?der the cover of this munificent inve “iturc of power, the Consul seizes, with. ° ut confuting the People, the (till great- \ r power of naming his fucceffior. - Even of prerogative is inefficient. *ht old Constitution is destroyed, and a r,ew one rises on its ruins, without the fanftion of the People. This Con. . it i tut Son CQ.:Jjudaies, to use the Isnguagfe of the Senate, all power in the hands of the First Consul, even that of Taxation. These remarks are not made from any difrefpeft to the government of France, They are made, that the people of Ame rica may realife the felicity of their lot; that they may rejoice in the fccurity of their rights; that they may cherilla a per petual jcaloufy of military authority; that they may keep alive their warmest afireftions for republicanism, and check the flighted deviation from it. It was infamous in Rome for any man to dcfpair of the Republic; let it be infamous with us for any man to plot the overthrow of republicanism. Rome used to treat the foreign world as barbarians. Let us while we extend to them the offices of hu manity, decline all political intercourse that is not absolutely necefl'ary. AUGUSTa7~Oc7. i 6.
