tue lat -’ b , i( .. ins p r i z ed that freedom, which had been
” ALfl wit a their blood, too highly to surrender it to
P ur “ barter it for bondage. They felt indignant at
mntsof faction, and discarded the would-be-no-

and shut it ag-ir.st tlie approaches of prudence and ho
nor Their former base measures were to be resorted to
a**-.in The treasury was declared empty, the government
i batik nipt, and the nation poor,-yet the operations of war
went on with celerity—the contest was denounced as
ricked, and tire maledictions of heaven imprecated, but
victo-v crowned it—and the people, who had been call
ed on to dismiss their rulers from the helm of the na
tion, hailed their servants as “the pilots who had weather
ed the siordi,” and looked on their aspersers as vipers
who wuiii, if allowed, poison the vitais of our country.
These events, it is true, compelled the latter to change
their point of attack, but tlie mode underwent no altera
tion. T'nev continue the system with a blind fatality that
most unavoidably plunge them deeper and deeper in tlie
abvss of sebrn and ' insignificance. According to their
ertid, flattery and deception are necessary to make the
people contented. An opportunity presented itself for
the investigation of the national representatives. Num
bers of both parties had either willingly or inadvertently
stumbled into the pit of error: but the federalists in pro
portion greatly exceeded the republicans. The latter de
nounced the measure, and are determined to dismiss its
supporters among themselves. Notwithstanding this actor
justice, tliev are stigmatized with the passage of the com
pensation hi!!; but it may be asked, with propriety, have
their adversaries shewn as much zeal for its abrogation at
the ensuing election? Have- tfi-e federalists reprehended
their own representation, or have they selected new suc
cessors for them who are pledged to oppose the obnoxi
ous procedure? They have entirely neglectedsuch astep,
except in the small state of Rhode-Island, where tlie ma
jority of the citizens are, in fact, democrats. Vv hat evi
dence of their serious disapprobation of the law, tnen,
have they furnished? Nothing but the fraudulent and
hollow reprehension of a party who has given every
proaf of its sincere aversion to the measure that the laws
of our country allow. Hut all this is of no consideration
with men whose practice and profession have uniformly
been to c.-jole and cheat the people in order to make them
content. I lypocricy and falsehood are the two grand ingre
dients of modern federalism. Yet, surely the tactionists
cannot but be aware that the people would jro sooner en
trust the liberty of the country with individuals who en
tertain so mean an opinion of their intellectual qualifica
tions, than an honest man wouM venture his purse in the
custody of a professed knave. Undoubtedly, the federal
party are destitute of shame and conspicious in folly,
when, soliciting tlie confidence of he nation, they tell the
people that they are fools, and that to make them con
tent, it is necessary that imposture and flattery must be
brought imo action. But what will men who openly ad
vocate the outrages of Ross and Cockburn {the grave-
openin? hero of Chuptico) hesitate to attempt?. They
are dead to truth, integrity, patriotism, honor and huma
nity,* and suitable only tor the views of despots, or fit
dour, unions for fiends. . Their doctrine and their per
sons contaminate tlieir very atmosphere of freedom.

GENERAL HARDISON.
General Harrison has published an address to the
officers and privates who composed the late western ar
my under his command. In this address, tlie general
mentions the neglect and disrespect with which he was
treated in the senate of the United States, oil the resolu
tion for presenting the thanks of congress and a medal to
him and governor Shelby. On that occasion, senator
Turner averred, on the authority of Mr. Desha from Ken
tucky, that, general Harrison reluctantly marched against
Proctor in the pursuit which ended in the capture of the
British army on the Thames. This assertion is complete
ly falsified by the written testimony of governor Shelby;
and even Mr: Desha himself has been forced to equivo
cate on the subject, by saying that general Harrison had
remarked in a council of general officers, that the policy
of pursuing Proctor was doubtful. But governor Shel
by explicitly denies that the general ever made this re
mark. Infact, general Harrison has fully succeeded in
shewing that Mr. Desha has basely traduced and misre
presented His.conduct, and that his character lias suffered
unmerited reproach from this calumny.

GENERALS IZARD AND ARMSTRONG.
A paper-war has commenced between these two gener
als; of which general Izard has struck the first blow.—
Some months since, a pamphlet appeared, v. hich spoke
in light terms of the general—this w as ascribed to the
pen of general Armstrong. Izard made the enquiry of
Armstrong, whether he avowed the production—and re
ceived the following lacoiuc epistle:
“La Bergerie, 23d April, 1816.
“Srn—I received your letter of the 17th in st. by Satur
day’s man, and the duplicate copy by'that of yesterday.
Iam not the author of tlie pamphlet to which you refer,
and which you say the public voice ascribes to me.—
Though no approver of your military conduct in tlie
campaign of 1814, I have not published a line on that
subject. You do me no more than justice in supposing
that what 1 write I am willing to acknowledge. I am
sjr, respectfully, your obedient servant,
John Armstrong.
“General Izard, Philadelphia."
To clear his skirts of all imputations, general Izard has
published his “Official Correspondence with the War
Department,” during the late war. In this pamphlet the
following interesting fact is stated: “that our estimates
of the British force in the Canadas were considerably be
low the truth. From unquestionable sources of infor
mation, since the peace, it has been ascertained that in
the month of October, 1814, there were from thirty-four
to thirty-five thousand British regulars in the upper and
lower province; on the American side (from Detroit to
Piattsburg inclusively) the whole amount of the effective
United States' forces never exceeded ten thousand men.”
Militia, of course, are excluded from the calculation.
General Armstrong will, in ail probability, lay by—
until general Wilkinson’s work is out; which, it has been
pompously announced, will appear in September, “in
three formidable volumes.” It is supposed, that Arm
strong is reserving his fire for Wilkinson—that he will
pounce upon him as soon as he shows his face. Arm
strong’s fire is formidable indeed—his pen is as piercing
and voracious as the vulture’s beak.—Richmond Compi

At a late census of Monroe county, a county cf the
Mississippi territory, which h^s been lately organized,
and which comprehends the lands acquired by Jackson’s
treaty*, the number of inhabitants amounted to more than
7000; two years ago its inhabitants did not amount to 50,
exclusive cf the Indians and their families, who are not
estimated in the present census. In our next, we will
endeavor to give a general description'of that part of the
country, so far as from a personal view of it some years
ago, andthebest information obtainedfrom persons lately
engaged in surveying it we may able.
We are informed through the most respectable source,
that a water communication between the forts on the
Chattahoochy and Xew-Oricans, has been effected by an
order of general Gaines, and that the troops now on the
Chattahoochy will be regularly supplied ttirough that
channel, instead of a more expen five one of transporting
provisions by land from Georgia. The general had some
time since ordered 30,000 rations to be convey ed by
water from Orleans and up the Appalachicoia to fort
Gaines on the Ciiattahoochy; and vessels to be convoyed
by a sufficient number of the United States’ gun boats,
with orders to destroy any force that might attempt to
oppose them. This we hope will effectually destroy
the redoutable colonel Nichols’ negro fort on the Ap*-
palachicola, or at any rate make it a place little to be
feared by the peaceful citizens of the United States.
Baltimore, August. 8.
The following is an extract of a letter from a gentle
man in New-Oyieans to his friend in this city, dated July
14. ' v
“The steam-boot Vesuvius, being very heavy with
merchandize, was burnt up last night between 11 and 12
o’clock. She was to have started up the river the next
morning, ;.*ul in consequence was anchored out some
distance, which saved the shipping in tlie port. It is
supposed goods to the-amount of §200,000 was destroy
ed—Fortunately no lives were lost.
MISREPRESENTATION CORRECTED.
It is not true, as stated in the London papers, that the
king of the Netherlands has refused ail aSylum to proscrib
ed Frenchmen. Letters received in this city, dated the
2d of June, authorises us to contradict the London Jour
nals. The report seems to have been invented by the
British ministry to give countenance to their own inhos
pitable, tyrannical, and proscriptive measures. The king
of the Netherlands will probably keep aloof from cruelty
as long as he steers dear of British influence.—JV. Yor/c
Columbian.
FROM HAVANA.
Charleston, August 13.
Our latest accounts (per the Ann and Susan) confirm
the statement we had before received, of there being nu
merous privateers of the patriot flag, concentrated near
Campeachy. General Apodaca, the late governor of
Havana, sailed thence on the 28th July—having been ap
pointed to the vice-royalty of Mexico. He was convoy
ed by three Spanish vessels of war, and several transports;
but either on account of the superior force of the patri
ots, or the cowardice of the royal fleet—the vice-roy and
his squadron had put back into port, on the 4th instant.
The Spanish republicans appear daily to increase not only
in moral energy but in practical strength.—South. Patriot.
August 14.
FROM NASSAU.
Frotft our attentive correspondent at Nassau, we yes
terday received a regular file of the Royal Gazette to the
3d inst. inclusive. They contain no news of importance.
Captain Russell, of the Zanga, informs us that his majes
ty’s gun-brig Bermuda, captain Paekenham, had sailed
for Havana, for the purpose of cruising against the Car-
thagenian privateers. The Bermuda mounts only four
teen guns, and should two or three of their ^heaviest
schoo'.'iers attack her, she will redder but a slim account
of her Quixotic excursion in defence of Spanish com
merce.
In the latest paper we find the following paragraph re
lative to the affairs of Cuba:
“By an arrival from Cuba we learn that the Cartha-
genian privateers continue their blockade of the principal
ports of the Island, intercepting and capturing every
thing coming within their reach under the Spanish flag.”
If one of his majesty’s brigs of war is to scour tlie coast
of Cuba of a swarm of privateers as bold and enterprising
as they are universally admitted to be we shall shortly
I'onk for the return of the days of chivalry.—Go-
zett. *

Tlie report, published some, time ago in this Gazette
from an American paper, of a revolt at Sierra Leon; and
the consequent destruction of the town, was not altogeth

SOUTH-AMERICA.
Kingston, (Jain.) July 6.
The Following is an extract of a letter from General
Bolivar to a gentleman in this city, dated Carupano,
South-America, 10th June.
“I did myself the pleasure of addressing you from the
Island of Margaritta, via St. Thomas’s, giving you an ac
count of the first successes of our expedition, from the
time we left Aux-Cayes, which I hope nas been duly re
ceived by you. I now resume my pen with more satis
faction, to give you a further account of those successes,
which, through the interference of the Great Disposer of
all events, has continued to bless the arms of the rep L-
lic. On tlie 25th of last month our squadron sailed from
Margaritta, and after a long passage of six days, owing
to the rapidity of tlie current, anchored below the high
battery of Santa Rosa, in Carupano, where the Spanish
flag was displayed, as well as on board the vessels in the
harbor, all of whom hauled under the battery. At the
break of day next morning, I summoned the town and
forts to surrender, or otherwise it should be assaulted,
when I should not be able to answer for the effusion of
blood, whiqh it was my original intention to spare as
much as lay in my power, but my summons w..s nt,^ ■
tived by the commandant. Thus situated, I had no other
alternative than the immediate disembarkation of the
troops, which was immediately performed under tlie or
ders of major-general Marino; generals Piar and Sou-
blete directing their operations to the left of the town,
while the squadron kept up a fire of round and grape on
the beach .aid centre of the town. The troops under
the comnr*'' :1 of the above officers, gallantly advanced,
and in a very short time took command of the principal
heights which commanded the town, driving the enemy
from their positions, with continue!I success, and no loss'.
The Spanish batteries and field pieces the whole time
playing* on the squadron and troops, improbably one of the
greatest instances of such a disembarkation without loss.
General Piar took the rear of the enemy, where he was
least expected, with tlie intention of taking* the heights
which commanded tlie pusses and vicinity of the town,
in which he completely succeeded, and after an action of
two hours, I had the satisfaction of seeing the republican
colors flying triumphantly on all the forts of Carupano.
Only a few of our men were wounded, and that slightly.
Our victory was complete, and tlie flight of tlie enemy
shameful, as they had tiie greatest advantage in every
thing. All the Spaniards possessed, fell into our power,
as well as a great quantity of provisions, &.c. and a beau
tiful brigand schooner,laden with merchandize; the for
mer well armed and equipped, named the Indio Bello,
and the latter La Fortuna. In consequence of the occu
pation of Carupano by our troops, the Spaniards have
abandoned from Cariaco to Guiria, and our communica
tions to Maturin are expedited by land and tlie Golfo
Triste. I hope a short time only will be required to fa
cilitate our communications. I have tlie satisfaction to
enclose you the regular bulletins, proclamations, &c. as
well as an intercepted Spanish document, which will
give you some idea of the men whose tyranny has so long
oppressed the continent of South-America.”
New-York, August 6.
The following stateaient was picked up some time
since on the southeast end ofHenuga* and handed to us
by captain Rollins for publication. The original is in
French and is in our possession.
“On board the French sliip Atalanta, captain Roget, of
Nantz, at 8 o’clock a. m. 4tli of June, 1816.
“This vessel has been captured by a frigate of 44 guns;
under Indigene colors. The officers of tills frigate, who
are now on board, inform us that they mean to carry us
into Port-au-Prince, and assure us, that our persons and
effects will be respected. We know not whether this
will be the case with the vessel. Our captain has been
curried onboard the frigate, with his two mates.
“We cannot, at this moment, tell their views, or what
course they will pursue; and are therefore ignorant cf
our future fate, which determines us to write this.
“Wehave on board, forty-three passengers, and a crew
of thirty-three, including officers. We request those in
to whose hands this writing may come, to serve us and
our families by publishing it iii our country.

The following is an extract of a letter from an Ameri
can gentleman in Leghorn, to his friend in this city, dated
May the 30th, 1S16.
“1 have lately received a letter from my friend major
Barney, in which he speaks of the pointed and higtily
distinguished reception given him by the emperor of
Austria, when on a late visit to Trieste. He gave luma
private interview of an hour, in which he spoke with much
satisfaction of the American commerce to his ports, and
said that every thing on his part would be done to en
courage it; he seemed to be aware of its being of more
value to him than the English, which impression, the ma
jor did not of course fail to strengthen, by pointing to
the fact, that we not only brought rich cargoes, but re
turned ladened with tlie productions and manufactures ot
the Austrian empire; the English on the contrary, took
lew of the former and none of the latter. On this visit,
he says he found the anti-cr.amber crowded with persons
of distinction, and the consuls cf other powers Wailing* for
an audience. As soon as he entered, he was conducted
into the royal presence, and was told, that it was the or
ders of the emperor to give the American consul imme
diate admission. I am sure, you will participate in the
pleasure 1 felt in finding in tlie sovereign of so important
a nation and with whom we had so little intercourse, the
manifestation of so friendly a disposition towards our
country.”

during* the late war on the Canada line; was at the cap
