ignizcd before high courts of im
peachment—But Analizer tells us,
•hat there have been three actions
brought, although the records of the
court ran produce but two, and he
says, that by a late comparison of the
copies with the originals in the office,
in the present suit, another error is
discovered—If this was even the
truth, Major Clarke is certainly free
a writ, and of putting his name to the
same.
RENE FITZPATRICK
August 2d, 1810.
I have no knowledge whatever ot
any writs in the name of Samuel Ridg-
dell a 5j l ' nst myself, being handed mi
by Elijah Clarke, Esq. —nor do I be •
lieve that any such ever were. But
.'1 any imputation, it being a clerical if there was any such, they were de-
rnistakc. But Mr. Fitch the de-
fendant’s counsel, says, that the co
pies have been in his possession ma
ny weeks, and never were seen by
Analizer, ancj that if there is an er-
Tor or variance between the originals
and copies it is unknown to him.
Theannexed certificates of Messrs.
Rogers and Fitzpatrick, will certain
ly supercede the necessity of a sin
gle remark as to that charge—the
insinuation respecting the retention
of the contract in the case of the
Mr. Roes, is unworthy of notice,
and cpuld only have originated from
a heart familiar with the perpetrati
on of crimes—The suits of Rigdel
vs. Jackson were brought a consider
able time since, and the recollection
of Judge Carnes, Mr. Fitch, the re
cord itself, and even Analizer, will
prove that a term upon one of them
was occasioned by the clerk attach
ing the name of the Judge of the Oc
mulgee Circuit to the process, when
there was no such Judge or Circuit
known at the time the suit was
brought—Whether they were deli
vered by Major Clarke to the defen
dant Col. Jackson for the purpose
of concealment, or not, may perhaps
be determined by the annexed cer
tificate—Suits are generally brought
by young gentlemen in offices, and
frequently when the principal is a-
broad—And if the suffering of non
suits is evidence of guilt, I fear not
one innocent man in the whole fra
ternity will be found—the charge is
ridiculous.
If Analizer had been actuated by
the principles of truth and justice, he
would have given Major Clarke
livered in an enclosed packet, the
contents of which I was ignorant of,
and as such delivered to the clerk—
But as I before observed, I have no
recollection, nor do I believe that a-
ny such were delivered to me by
said Clarke or any person.

We are informed that on the 24th

Vixen, lieutenant Tripple, carrying
14 guus, on her way to New-Orleans,
under orders from our government,
near Bahamas was, in a wanton and
unprovoked manner, fired into by the
British sloop of war, the Moselle,
capt. Boyce, rating 20 guns, 32
pounders—a 32 pound shot carried
away the main boom of the Vixen
within a short distance of Col. Poin
dexter, a member of Congress, who
with his family, had taken passage
on board, on his return from Con

wounded slightly Mr. Rodney, son
of the attorney general of the U. S.
