NEAPOLITAN DOCUMENTS.
It ha# been insinuated by some, and expressly
ssserted by others, both in this country and in
Europe, that the United State* were not entitled
to any indemnity from the present government
of Naples, for the spoliations committed upon
our commerce during the reign of Murat, be
cause our government did not resist the outrage
at the period it occurred; and they are further
t hargeu with having permitted the claim to lie
dormant during Murat’s time, from a spirit of
subserviency to the power ot Murat’s master.

sertions, we present the following documents,
^fhich have been furnished usby aliiend. and are

the correspondence of our then consul at Naples,
the only representative of this government at
that place, with Murat’s minister for foreign af
fairs—From these it appears that our consul,
Mr. Hammett, from the commencement of'these
spoliations,neverceased bis remonstrain es. and.
finally on the 20th of January, I8to. formally
protested, in the name of his government, aga'm-t
these transactions, and demanded futi. commute

ister of foreign affairs, dfc.
Naples. December 10, 1809.
The number of American vessels which arriv
ed in this port in virtue of the decree of his ma
jesty in July lest, which assured them of the li
berty of selling their cargoes, is become an ob-
lect of great consequence to the interests of the
United States. Your excellency w ill feel the
importance that I ought to attaefi to the welfare
of my country, and it is superfluous for me to re
present to you how much so long an uncertainty
prejudices all those whose confidence has con
ducted them hither. I have too great reliance
in the wisdom of this government to doubt for a
moment that this afl'air will be speedily taken
into consideration.
The knowledge I have, above all, of your ex
cellency’s enlightened notions, assures me that
J ’ou will properly represent to his majesty that a
onger uncertainty would be an incalculable in
jury to all American individuals who have pro
perty in this country.
I Iiave also to observe to your excellency,
that if even we were at war, (which I hope will
nevertake place,) vessels bona fide arrived could
not be subject to anunforseen change in politics.
The importance of this affair in conjunction
with my duly will serve as an apology to your
excellency for the continual trouble 1 give you.
I beg you will accept that apology, and with
it the distinguished assurances of my very high
consideration. Alexander Hammftt,
Consul ufthe United Slates.

Pams, October 22.
Charles Slonier, ex-adjutant of engineers, condemned
to die for being an accomplice in a plot for obtaining
possession of the castle ot Vincennes, after poisoning
the gani>on, v as to have been executed yesterday. He
was brought from the Ricetre, to the Conciergerie, at half
past 9 o’clock. Still ignorant of the rejection of his ap
peal to the court of Cassation, he was quite at his ease,
and thought only of undergoing an examination: but
when the gaoler tubl him he must prepare for death, lie
broke out into violent transports “What,” said he,
“must I die! die to day! I have been deceived; l expect-
ed a pardon.” T&c Abbe Moutez, chaplain, then offer
ed him the consolation of religion, but he was incapable
of listening. He asked urgently for M. Touret, his ad
vocate, whose arrival appeared to calm him. “If I make
discoveries, (said be,) may I hope for pardon?” At Iasi
about 4 o’clock, when the executioners entered his cell
he said—“let some magistrate have the goodness to hear
me; 1 am ready to speak.” Soon after, M. Dupaty, a
counsellor of the royal court, came down to a room of
the prison into winch Moilier was brought. From the
window of this mom, which looksinto the court of the
prison, Monier perceived the fatal cart, at which he
shuddered with atfiright. Monier remained about three
quarters of an bcur with M Dupaty, and the discover
ies be made seemed so important, that the Chancellor
was made acquainted with them, who sent an order to

Vour memorialists beg leave to address his excellent
the President of the F nit ed States, and lo l.y before ii".
their views on a subject highly interesting to the people
of this state and entitled to the serious attention of the
national government. This subject, to which your me
morialists respectfully solicit the attention of your excr
lency, is the stipulation in the articles of agrt * merit an.,
cession entered into on the 24th of April, ldt)2, hctnani
the commissioners of Georgia, and cmninis ioners of the
United States, in which the United States have pledged
themselves to extinguish the Indian title to all lands w th
in the limits of Georgia. The citizens of Georgia, satis
fied with this stipulation of the compact, and reposing
great confidence in the disposition of the genera! govern
ment to fulfil every engagement of the United states,
and particularly this, fluttered themselves with the hope,
that the treaty of General .tackson would have obtainea
a further cession of territory, and established a line with
a much greater respect for the interests of Georgia, than
that treaty has evinced. No crisis ever presented sueh
prospects of an advantageous extinguishment of Indian
title as the period of the treaty referred to. A icut*.
chas’isement had been inflicted on the Creeks, theirpo**
er was broken, tiieir arrogance subdued, and it oniv be
came necessary under theae circumstances, to ha*e <J*-
maiuled and obtained an accession to such term* as tt> c
United States, looking to their compact with Georgia,
might have thought proper to have dictated. These cir
cumstances were not permitted, however, to have their
appropriate weight of influence, and, therefore, the fl '
tizens of Georgia have found themselves mortified and dis
appointed in all the expectations they have formed o
the results of this treaty. In adverting to the boundan
of the treaty, it will be readily perceived, that the
great objects which should always have been in view ' ^
extension of settlement and security of frontier—M
been greatly, if not totally neglected. ,
