x r act cf a letter from James I. Donaldson,
J'.sq. to General James Wilkinson, dated
Jbatchez, October HOth, 1806.
4i -Michael Myers arrived here to day in n
days from St Louis on his way to rVew-Or
lc ms—He made a communication to me with
permission to transmit to you, which might
stagger even credulity—Of hi< information’he
v.ys he is ceriain an ! mos l firmly believes ill the
intelligence he communicates—This is neither
i..oie nor less tnan that a plan to revolutionize
tiie \v es'ern country has been formed, matur
e'“ uis ready to explode, that Kentucky, Ohio,
Tennessee, Orleans ar.d InJianna are combin
ed to declare themselves Independent on the
loth .November. That proposals have been
made to some of the most influential characters
at St. Louis, by an accredited agent of the con
spiracy to join in the plan—That this person
whose name Myers refuses to re veal, is in a
most respestable line of life, and had the most
unquestionable vouchers of his mission in
French and English—That he declared if Mo
ney was necessary that it might be command
ed to any extent”—lt is proper to add that the
persons thus applied to at St. Louis, altogether
refused to concur in any plan of the kind, say
ing that it should be only superior force that
should dispense with their oath of fidelity to the
United States.—This may all appear to a per
son as well acquainted as you are with the poli
tics of the Western Country, as a second Spa
nish conspiracy, and as such be ridiculed, and
such is my impression of the wonderful plan.
But Myers so firmly believed it that having set
forth on his journey by land to the United
States—He was induced by his fears hastily
to return to arrange his business at all events
and prepare for an explosion—He most solemn
ly protests the truth of the communication, and
declares there are only four persons in St. Lou
is who are privy to the disclosure made by the
secret agent—it is not improbable that this may
be a “ Ruse de guerre” a stratagem set on foot
by the patrons of the Western World, to foster
and keep alive the dissention, which excited by
the pretended exposition of ancient conspiracies
pay be fanned into a flame by spreading an
alarm of an immediately and pressing treasona
ble combination—This I am apt to believe is
the case, and inorder more fully to succeed they
may study and affect mystery, as better calcu
lated to excite suspicion, and that they may
have the honor of a new discovery —However,
be the matter as it may, I communicate it to
you, as I received it, and have on y to regret,
that you had it not in person from Myers’ in
formation, of which whatever your judgment
might pronounce, the solemnity of his asser
tion and his certainty of the plan (altho’ he was
not at liberty to divulge the means) must have
staggered the mind ca/:able of bcluving it.”

Pro a the New-York Public Advertiser, Sept. 27.
In a former paper, we republished from
Lang’s Royal Gazete, an extract of a letter, said
to be from Richmond, with a few remarks. It
contained the most unprecedented falsehoods
on the character of general Wilkinson, with a
supposed deposition of Mr. Duncan of New-
Orleans, charging the general with the ioul
crimes of perjury and forgery—The slander
is clearly refuted by Mr. Duncan himself, in a
note to the editor of the Philadelphia Gazette
of Friday last. The following is the substance
of the article.
Mr. Abner L. Duncan, of New-Orleans, is
now in this city, and authorises us to say, that
the infamous attack on the reputation of gener
al Wilkinson, in the New-York Gazette of yes
terday, as far as comes within his knowledge,
is a tissue of base falsehood; and particularly
as it relates to the contents of his deposition,
not one line of which has been given fairly to
the public.”
The anniversary of the independence of
America was celebrated on the 4th ot July, at
Cronstadt, by the resident Americans, about
40 in number. Mr. Harris, the consul of the
United States, presided. Various Russian of
ficers were present, and toasts in honor of
America and Russia were drank ; the last of
those enumerated is, “ The freedom of the
seas.”
Since the first of July, O. S.thc manifesto of
last January, respecting the merchants of Rus
sia, has been put in executioti to its full extent.
Died, on Sunday the lUh instant, near this
city, Mr. Thomas Mills, a native of South
Carolina, but for many years a respectable in
habitant of this place.
Died, on the 12th inst. in the 39th year of
her age, after an illness ot twenty-four hours,
Mrs. Mary Keifer, consort of Mr. David
Keifer, planter, at White-Bluff*.
Died, on Tuesday last, Mis Caroline Eliza
Wilkinson, second daughter of Joseph Win
kinson, pin. of this place, aged nine months and
sixteen days.
BeViold a flower, with rich perfume,
Expaml its ‘.eaves to meet the day,
‘3 is cropp'd—and al! its early bloom
Soon tviihers, droops, and dies away.
E’en fothis lovely blooming chid,
Of'emp’ra’ things—just took a view;
Tailed life’s cup, then sweetly fmfl’d.
And bid all earthly joys adieu.
But cease, ye tender friends, to mourn.
Your tears forbear, fupprtss each ligh ;
Your little babe, by Angels borne,
Now dwells m bill's with God on high.
