Sir •
You are at liberty to declare from me that
11 those charges and insinuations which aver
r intimate that J aavifrd or countenanced die
ppofition made to Mr. Jeffrrlbn, peoumg
it late election, and balloting for Prcfident;
hat I po&ficd or agreed to ary term* with
the federal party, or with anv Individual of
either party $ that I assented to be held up in
opposition to him, or attempted to withdraw
from him the vere or fupoort of anv man, whe
ther in or our of congress ; that all such affef
tions and insinuations are falfe and groundless.
I have not thought that calumny, unfup
porred bv proof or the authority of a name,
could so far receive attention from the public
as to. require an 2nfwer, or a denial ; yet if
vou {hall imagine that any declaration from
me can be nectffary to remove doubts from
the mind of any honed man, you may confi
der this letter as submitted to your ciifcretion,
to publish if you fhal! think proper.
Accept, I pray you, mv thanks for your
friendly folicicude, and assurances of the high
refpedt and consideration with which 1 am,
Your obedient fervanf,

Extract of a letter from a Captain af a fls'tp,

“ Vou no doubt have heard that France
is fending a very formidable force again!!
Algiers, and a number of troops have actually
failed three days ago from Toulon, only io
leagues from this, who are to join the fleet
from Bred j this mcafure rook rife from the
frequent piracies upon this coast, and parti
cularly on account of a French captain of a
merchant veilel having been baflinado and fe
vtrely because he complained of being rob
bed. It is thought that the affair will ter
min.te in the deflruflion of all .the Bar
bary powers, which God grant. N- wsreachc.;
this place this day, of an Algennr having
taken an F.ngliih brig, a Frenoh ship, a
Spaniard and two Danes; rh 7 anticipate a
general attack from these countries, but how
true it is I cannot fay, but it is notorious that
all vc(lris which they have fallen in with latelv
unarmed, have been plundered without dis
tindlion, I therefore would nor advise anv
person to said veflrls hither, unless under
convoy.^
Mr, Coleman’s correspondent and federal
colleague, the mifereant Callender, acknow
ledges, in the Recorder which we yesterday
received, that a part of the abominable c..1-umny
umny which he lately published concernirg
the President & a certain female, is Llle. VV
fhal! presently have it from his own hand that
not a fy liable cf the malicious report is true
Such a confeffioa, however, is unneccilory;
o man can believe a dander so gross uu the
fo!e authority of a v/retch who has been guilty
of offences the moft horiible, and who is at
this \ cry moment a mirror of vice. Bit it
may be expefled that he will follow the < x
ample of his countryman, John Wood, and
declare (what is abfoimely true) that the pub
lic cannot rely upon any thing that he havi
ft a ted. {American Cit,
Callender has made another precious con
feffion in the lame paper. He fays that in
year tjg6, during the prevalence of the yel
low fever in Philadelphia, and when in the
tit moft cliftrefs, he wroiC to Mr. J ff rion,
deferibing his fiLuation, and req-idbng the
President to fend him a few dollars. Mi.
Jefferfon read this letter, frit for his fuffenngs,
and sent him twenty dollars ! Jt is iaipoff bic
to speak of such a wretch as Caflendei w.ui
iemperance, ortotlnnk w r eliof the parrv who
knowing Ins inherent vi Jen els, his blackness
of heart, press him to their bosom. Tills a£t
01 chanty, h:s loan of tify dollars, which
perhaps inarched the mrferable wieten horn
perifliang of want, has been heretofore repre
fented by him as a bribe on the part of ihL
executive to calumniate the leading men of
the federal party. Nor did the federd editors
aegletft to avail themselves of the improoabje
Llory. We have ah seen tnc intemperate and
fed mo ua effufions which have appeared in the
Evcn.ng Poll founded on this tool fiflion.—
With the arm of hostility always uplifted, the
moment was too precious not co strike the
venerable in the face, uho is iupreaie
objed of the bitterelt execration of the federal
party. The blow was iiruck : *cwas harm
lejs. The good man’s chaia£ler is an im
penetrable ihield to the assault of his enemies.

GENOA, August 5.
We have just received a note of the depre
dations which the Dey of the regency of Al
giers has been exercising for fix months upon
the different powers of Europe.
It is ufeful to pjblifh it; and in reading it,
we fhal! be iefs aftomfhed at the extreme
rapacity than at rhe audacity cf this barbarian,
who seems to think himfeif the sovereign of
the universe, because he treats ail the govern
merrs as if they were his tributaries.
This note is followed by that of the con
tributions which he intends to impole upon
Africa; they nlare to the princes, who are of
,the lame relijj.o.i, and prove, that there i$

Nothing sacred to this brigand. We may
rely upon the accuracy of these deatails.
Holland, Sweden and Denmark, have made
their triennial presents, the value of which is
fixed at 16,500 piaftres. But by chicanery
which the agents have experienced, these pre
sents have incrcafed for each of the powers to
a sum of about 25,000 piaftres. Total pias
tres 75,000. Spain had sent three fail of the
line and two frigates to claim three confil
cated vefiels. THe Dry was offended at this
n e .furc, and Spain, to avoid a war, paid the
sum of piaftres 240,000. This sum includes
the value of the three fiiips given up. A
‘rigate perfe&ly equipped is to be sent to
Constantinople by Spain with warlike an
uunition.
The Dey claims of the English for several
cargoes confifca r cd by he court of admiralty,

FLORENCE, August 25.
We learn by fome vdTel * which entered the
port of Livoume, that the French fquadro-.
f nt to Turns, to demand fat sfaflion from the
regency for the .insult offered to the captain
of a French veflel, and to the French com
merce in general, bears a demand to the Dey,
in the name of the First Consul, calling upon
him to pay a present indemnity of 200,000
colonnari, and an annual contribution of
60,000 coionnari. in case of a refufal, the
French government menaces the Dey with
instant war. It is reported that other French
vessels have failed to Algiers, with demands
equally among others, that of his
immediately setting at liberty, all (laves, to
whatever nations they may fcfelong, now in
:he Algerine territory. If me Dey refufes to
accede to these conditions, the French (hips
have orders to blockade the port.
PARIS, August 31.
The affairs of Germany are on the point of
being terminated. France, Ruffla, Austria,
Prussia and Bavaria, are agreed. Prussia has
taken pofleflion of the dates granted to her
by the plan of the two great mediating pow
ers. Austria has taken pofleflion of Saltz
burgh, Bcrchtoifgaden, Brixen, and Trent,
which are also granted to her by the fame
plan. ’ Her troops were at PafTau before that
court had adopted the said plan ; but as the
imperial miniftcr has declared, that it took
pofleHiomdf to maintain the right- j
the Bishop of PafTau, until the period in wnu !
the meditating powers of the deputation i>(
Empire should decide.
LONDON, September r.
The which Bonaparte feels ft
the English papers, is not momentary, 0-r
correspondent fays, that they are now not buf
fered to approach the fan&uary of the capi 'J
of the universe, but are flopped at Calais.
The movements cf troops in Germany*
would seem to announce the commencement
of war, rather than the definitive fcHcments
of peace, Le r ters from all pars of Germany
and from the Netherlands, fpe *k of orders
having been given for the marching of troops.-
The Au(lrian force is increasing daily on the
r ight bank of the Inn, and, as we announced
yesterday, a detachment has adua ly crofted
that river. The Elector of Bavaria’s troop*
are in motion. The operations of she Prus
sian army are equally active and more effec
tual. Hilderfneim, and all the Prullian in
demnities, have been t.ken poficfljon of
without refiftan.ee. A large French army is
afiembiing on the left oar k of the Rhine, ani
a strong corps will perhaps be stationed 01
the right bank. Bonaparte will, it is laid,
immediately set off for Brussels, and
whence to Duffeldorff, where rhe king of
Prussia will meet him. The recent condufb
of Austria will accelerate his journ-y, and he
will in all probability not return to Paris urt l
the extraordinary deputation of the D ei has
pui the finflbing har.d to the plan of indem
nities, which was presented bv the French and
Ruffian ministers on the 18th. It is by no
means agreeable to the court of Vienna.—
How indeed could it be expe£L J that Auffria
would accede with wiilmgnefs to that which
destroys her preponderance in the Emp ,r P
Yet she must accede to it. Exhausted by ice
late con est, she cannot yet undertake another,
which she would have to nu'na n nor o: i y
against France, but aganft Pi uffi.i, and Roiiia.
Notwithftaruling, therefore, these move
ments of troops, and these menacing appear
ances, the peace of Euiope is not likely robe
dimimfbcd atpprese t, for neither Austria, nor
indeed any of the great powers,
be their inclinations, are yet m a cond* ion to
go to war.
