COUMBIH, NAURDAY, APRIL 2. I*6o
Mr. Jrfrerkon’* bun boat# ftetzurr of (atm.
From a correspondence recently published be
tween two old navy officers, it appears that Com
roodorc Stewart has satisfactory evidence that
tbo gun-loets, which Mr. Jefferson was author*
tied to construct by Congress, were for the pur
pose of seising Cuba ami taking her from Hpaiu,
with whom the United States at that time was ou
unfriendly term*.
Jly the Ant of Cougress. Feb. 38, IHW3, fifteen
gunboats were ordered to be built; by Act of
March 2, iHOu, twenty-five floats wore ordered j
by the Act of April 21, 1866, fifty boat* were or
dered; and by Act of December 18, 1807, one
hundred and eighty-eight boats were ordered, ma
king io all two hundred ami seventy-eight
boats.
Commodore Htewart iu a letter dated the M
ult: says, that the gun-boats were constructed af
ter the order of the six gun boats loaned to our
service by the King of the two Hioilie* and used
iu tho attack on Tripoli iu 1801. They were de
signed only for the defence of Naples hay ami the
Islands therein and wore clumsy, inactive vessels,
bud to sail, had to row, and bud f-r our small ves
sels to tow in a high wind, and rough sea, hat
when once got under their batteries for action they
proved most efficient and powerful auxiliaries,
against pemmueut works of opposition, and being
small themselves as an object to fire ut. At the
point blank rangu of a 2f pounder, they were hard
to hit; nt a little shorter or longer distance, all
firing at them became random firing.
Commodore Preble wrote strongly to the gov
ernment of the U. H. to send him a dozen of them,
of such construction as would enable them to nav-
igate the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea in
safety, and capable of heifig moved with facility,
with wind or oars ; this was done and the first
twelve were constructed oud sent out.
wards was obtained from Congress, under the
pretextofharbordefeuc.es; at that time (1806)
JHO boats were built and building.
Commodore Htewart uses the following lan
guage, which we publish in hh uwu words, to
wit -.
I have seen since in Mr. Jefferson's first pub
lished letters, that as war was nt that time almost
inevitable with Hpain, be had intended them es
pecially for an attack on tho Island of Cube, a*
the most efficient means of blockading nil their
outports, ami for the attack of their protecting
batteries. I presumed at that time the intended
wur against Hpain, grew out of our extensive
claims on that country, for oar deprivation of the
right of deposit at New Orleans, granted by Hpaiu
iu I7. r In (mrpotuity to the interior common c of
the United States. I well recollect that in eonse
qucuce of .Mr. Jefferson'# having in hi* message
to Congress, at the session of December, tHQ.'r, ri
commended something like a war on Spain, which
haatt.be same time counteracted through *'a back
dour message” (ns Mr. Randolph termed it), and
which caused Mr. Randolph's deserting him, and
making a violent opposition speech, against him,
and his double policy, Randolph was then, 1
think, chairman of the Committee of finance, in
the then Congress.
Tho letter a* which I refer to, 1 may ba\e seen
amongst the correspondence Mr. Jefferson
hod with Mcrrza of Leghorn, why put into my
hands nil the letters of Mr. Jefferson, addressed to
him after our revolutionary war had terminated,
up to 1807. I was then .-pending three months
in Fisa on tho Arno, while iny vessel tbo Kilter
nia—-la which 1 was then engaged on a voyage
to Calcutta, was collecting her funds in Spanish
dollars, and selling her cargo from Fhilodelphig.
It was amongst those letters of Mr. Jefferson that
I saw his reasons for not entering Into the viewy
of the Emperor Paul of Husain, who, whew about
to make peace with the Sultan o i Turkey"propo
sed to Mr. Jefferson, to jgutort in the Treaty nn
article, to open to the flag of tho United States
the commerce es Turkey in Europe. and that of
tiie shores of the Black Hoo, provided the United
State* would accredit a minister to and from the
empire of Turkey, and that of Russia. It struck
me forcibly nf that time, flint Mr. .Jefferson lost
a valuable “hand-maid to agriculture and inarm
faoturea,'’ as well as strong friuml*, in those two
powers, for the promotion of our relations with
those of Turn*. Tripoli ami Algiers.
An Op positron l andldalr
A correspondent of tho Enquirer, signed Quit
man, “favors the uul! of a State Convention, (op

gests the second Saturday in July as a suitable

Hundreds of stimulants have been invented and

canes and derangements to which tbe delicate
form of woman renders her subject. Tbe result
of all these stimulants has bocn to impart uiu
mentury activity to the nervous system, and false
igor to the muscle#: but this relief has been suc
ceeded by a depression and prostration greuter
than before; and the repeated attempts of inval
id* to build themselves up by those fal-.e remedies
have finally ended in destroying wliot little vita*
