Copy of a letter from Colonel
Hawkins , tp his Excellency Go
vernor Jackfm , dated Fort
Wilkinfon, July 18,1800,
I informed your Excellency
in ray laft by Tarvin of the ud-
c v pe£led furren lerof the fort
of St. Marks, to Bowles and his
p'rtizans. As foon as this
fhameful tranfaftion was made
known to the officers of his Ca
tholic Majcfty in PenDcola,
lb«v unanimouflv de'ermined in
a council f T war,that hi> excellen
cy Don Vecente Folch, (hould
form an expedition, for the pur
po(c of retaking that fort; and
for its better fuccefs, he (hould
command it in pc> Ton. to this
effe£l feven veffels of war, and
two merchantment, armed, were
put in rcadinefs, and on board
of ilicm were embarked, the
troops and (lores that were
thought ncccflttiy for the un
dertaking—This force fai ed on
the 17th June.
I have been informed by two
runners to our Chiefs, from the
Simenolas, who were at, or near
St. Marks, on the arrival of this
force, that the expedition has fuc
ceeded. One of them a Cuflatuh
reports, ‘ that the fleet appeared
off the mouth of Apalatchc, and
one (hip of war failed up and
began to cannonade the fort,
that on the appearance of this
force, general Howies opened
the (lores, invited the Indians
Co take all the goods they could
carrvofF, and to clear themfelves
—this they did, and he and his
partizans quitted the fort, and
retreated to Miccofookc," The
other a Cheauhau, reports,
“ that he and his companions
were encamped a little on this
fide of the fort of St. Marks,
that nine fail of Spanifh galleys
were (cen cunjing up the river,
atTight of which, Bowles began
to put what goods ar;d ammu
nition he could in a (mall veflel,
and let out up the river; and
his feoond man took the keys,
opened all the (lores to the red
people, and told them to take
any thing they could cam off;
but in the height of their plun
dering, the galleys approached
fo fall, firing a number of balls
which hit and knocked down
fomt of the w.II, and funk a
fmall veflel lying under them,
that the plunderers were alarm
ed and fled. Gen, Bowles
puflied up the river in his (mall
vellel, but being di(covered,
and puifueo by a galley, he and
his Indians quitted her, and
went on (horc, and the gdley
captured the veil'd He further
dates, that Howies wanted the
Che.mhau Indians to fire on the
Spaniards, which they refuted to
do"
I have the honor to be,
With (mcere regard Sc efteem
Sir,
Your Excellency's
Mod obedient fervant,
BENJAMIN HAWKINS.

Jack/on, Governor

The avidity with which a
portion of the people in this
country feized upo » publica
tions boldlv advocating monar
chial principles* and thedifeou
ragment that refulted therefrom,
as recent as the year'9s, cannot
he forgotton by the friends of li
berty in this country. The open
and avowed ohjeft of Porcupine s
Gazette was that of giving cur
rency to Bntifh and monarchial
principles, deftruhiive to repub
lican conditutions and Dwa;
and notwithdanding this inten
tion was pofitively declared in
the propolals fird idued by him,
hundreds of per(ons, according
to his own declaration, diling
themfelves the friends of the
American conflitution, were
found on the lift of his fupport
ers. But fortunately for this
country, fortunately for the
caufe of juffice and liberty, for
tunately for the human race, that
too much knowledge, virtue and
republicanifm exided to permit
fu h definitive fchernes of m
yufticc and dcfpatifm long to
prevail. The latent (parks of
liberty, which lay beneath rub
bifh and afhes, were fanned into
a flame, and roufed into ation,
by the attentive and perfevering
arm of rcpublicanifra. Thole
daik clouds of error and mifli
cifm, which had overfpread
our political horizon, and threa
tened dcdrution to the caufe of
liberty, were foon di pelled. In
vain may dcfpoiifm at this day
lay plans for the annihilation of
republican vutue, as long as rhe
Ameiicans are deiermined to
rife fuperior in their energies to
all the wicked maxims of ancient
govcrmental tyranny. The re
publicans have reafonto rejoice
1 hat thefe enenri'ea of hberty,
thefe agents of defpotifm, thclc
tools of royolty, can no longer
find a comfoitable refidence in
a land of liberty, aud are oblig
ed to betake themfelves to c’imcs
more congenial with their views
and better calculated for works
o( iniquity.

Could the dull pedant who
appeared in Randoloh and
Hunce's piper of the 9th inft
with as much iruth d*nv the
x
corre£ling pen of the chief ma
giflrjte of Augufla, in that mfi.
pid peicc, as I do unequivocal
ly deny the aid, privity, confent
or knowledge, of the chief ma
gifirate of this (late in any
thing (certified official papcis
excepted) that ever oppeared in
the Republican Trumpet, the
public would not have been
troubled with the tedium of that
lelf-conttadidiig exordium of
inconfifteacics.
Could my Loid Mayor, as
clearly acquit himfelf of the
charge of peculation on the pro
perty of his fird emplowcrs,*
as the citizens of this (late have
tacitly acquitted the prefmt
Governor from the complaints
of fiich as him, by confiding
their dearefl rights to his caie,
at ail times, for more than
twenty vears pa(l, his houfc
would fcarccly yot been made

Could the author of that
piece (who according to his own
account, the weight of the (late

not conupt) with as much
truth, deny his having eat tur
tle loup and drank Madeira, on
the intereft of the public puife
as I can affert rh it the Aim of
