It is abundant ly established by the evidence, that it 1 was the intention ofthe deceased, to give mo his property, it was satisfactorily proven, tlntin pursuance of said intention, I had into my custody|some trunks, &c.

The sanity of the de ceased on the 20th October is distinctly proven by then witnesses, the only discre- panceis as to the hour. Mr Foy proves it in the morning, Mr Shcftall, that he was of sufficient mind to make his will, and Green R Duke proves his sanity according to an answer afforded to bis interrogatory, The attending, Physician saw the deceased from 10 to 12 and from 5 to 8 o’clock, and to the best of his recollection and belief, he was incapable on that day—but two wit nesses sweau positively and affirma tively so faras opinion can be formed from rational answers, that he was capable; fur- ther—on the 21st of October, he was in full possession, Of his rational faculties,- according to the positive Testimony of M> Sheftall strengthened imd corroborated by exposed the calumny against me, the L ness of its authors is only equalled byL falsity of the report, they merit every J ishuient. that indignation can inflict on i proved calumniators, Y‘.o' Fellow Citizen MOKDECAl!?

I have been in 1805 more wise and better Pretflflent the npiinir,nnent of i’ostmustei acquainted. With the mind of man, than o- for the City, of Richnjond, vacant by the. thcr men? If 1 wait upon an individual in decease of the venerable Dr. Foushee. Cambridge University,—The annunl com frrini the shore—The csptsii, ofthe prlva. ^encement at the University in Cambridge t<*er then told me that he should send my *■* ig to the isl.ind ol'Chiloe, and'if ( chose to go in her, and she arrived safe, that af ter discharging my cargo,'he would give me up my vcsspI. Thinking there might be some chance of recovering her, and know ing that if I left her I should not get her again, I clio«e to remain by her. and after much pm suasion I prevailed on him to let me take my son with me—but he'would not consent in my taking any more of jnycrew. After plundeHng my vessel ol about. 812,•, 000 worth of dry goods, rice, rigging, and such other at title’s as they were then ih w iiftof, they put a prize ihnster and nine men on Hoard, and Ordered us to make sail for the inland of Chiloe. Soon after leaving the privateer, I learned that her name was the Kintanealia, capt.Mattalena, from tiie island of; Chiloe, und that they had previously taken several English and Patriot vessels, some of which they had burnt, and sent the others to Chiloe, and that she had a large amount of money on board, taken from them. I also learned that capt. MaUalhna had formerly been to officer under Benavides, and had headed a gang in taking tho American b> ig Hersilia, at the island of St. Marys. From this iti* formation, and his conduct in plundering my vessel, I had no reason to expect get ting her again, unless I took her by force, which I determined to do whenever a fa vorable opportunity should offer; I then loaded my pistols, also those of the mate which I had taken caje to stow away on my first, arrival on board, from the priva teer. I then informed my son of my in tention,and ordered him to hold himselfin readiness. After being in possession of the captors 7 days, ws succeeded in reta king hrr, drove the Spaniards below in.the middle of the day, and then ordered them on deck one at a time, and tied their hands behind them, as I had no irons on board to secure them with. I then shaped my course for Callao—The next day i put seven of the prisoners in a whale boat, with provis* i6ns and water to last them to the land— the other three I, took with me to Callao, where L arrived two days afterwards, and delivered the balance.of my ca^gj to the former owners. Two day* after my arri val, the privateer appeared off the harbor of Callao, and the U. S. schr. Dolphin, Capt. Connor’ and the Br. frigate Tartar, Capt. Brown, made sail in.pursuit of her, but night coming on she made her escape. A shdrt time after that the crew of a French ship arrived in their boats, having been captured a little to the leeward by the privateer, who had taken from the snip gGO 000, manned and ordered her for Chiloe. On the 24th of May. a few days before the Frankli.i lefi Valparaiso, the /Cintoteafutarrived there, prize to a French sloop of war, who had captured her off was celebrated on Wednesday,in the usual manner.

New l’ortc Sept 1, 1824. TO THE EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN. Gentlemen.—1 observe in your paper of yesterday, some remarks on the arrival of the United States ship Franklin, under my command. The estimation in which yoti profess to hold me, as there declared, entitles you to o,y acknowledgments and thanks; as also llmt you ate among those editors who have abstained from assisting in the “ circula tion ot those discreditable rumours,** to which you allude. However much I may lament the public and private circulation of such reports on my own account through malevolence, envy, or ignorance, during an absence ol three years, distant from the point of circulation four or ; five thousand miles, both as respects my own personal and official reputation, as established through a course of arduous service, in a period'tif twenty six years, through three wars, and fifteeii battles, I cannot but re gret still more as a native patriot of these United States, the injurous effect of those reports abroad on our national and naval cliai acter, as well as the exhibit it will make ofthe want of common justice and candour in ourfellow citizens, (the editors) in thus representing a national officer in a highly responsible command, op difficult and de (icate foreign service. The rumours to which you allude have never before reached me; but they are, l understand, of such a nature, that if only one half of what is charged had been com mitted by me, I assure you this country would never again have borne my footsteps, or you have been troubled with these re marks. Should, however, there appear a'n v just grounded' complaint against my ofliciaj duties or conduct during my com mand in the Pacific, they ought to be ex hibited to thp exeentive branch of the gov- eminent, who has the po#er. & knows too well how much it cooiports with the inter est ofthe. nation, and the honor of the gov- eminent not to institute such inquiries, or require such explanations as shall satisfy tbemselves.and the country of the justice <>t the allegations, or innocence of tfie offi cer. To me it belongs to furnish, when called on, (if pot done sufficiently already such explanations and evidences as the ,nature of the case may require. I have thohouor to be, respectfully, y«ur obedient servant, W CHAS.STEWA$IV upon his sick room to have his will executed,— it is read to him,—he answurs a question put to him rationally,—he makes his mark with his own hand, and which is witnessed, I ut once cotne to the conclusion, lie is sane and competent to make a legal will, I may be in error as to his sanity, but 99 a out of 100 men, will agree with me in opinion, that ho was of sound and disposing mind. I contend that it is base and unprincipled to ascribe criminality to me in this transac tion, because all the circumstances nega. tive the idea. If Untended to practice a fraud, would I iuvb written the will in my own hand wiuTiNb? Would 1 have taken Green R Duke ba a witness against myself? Gould 1 not have had the will ex ecuted without his presence, ? A will of personal property, requires no witness.— But what motive could possibly have iufli;. enced me, to act unfairly and corruptly. In the year 1805, I lived perfectly free of any expence, and had myiecessities of a pecu niary character, that could press me—be. sides, what was the amount ofthe sales of Mr Derks’ Estate ? It sold for 8295 50 — The debts amounted to 289 64, including Kollock <Jf* Parker and John 11. Harris’ bdt. deduct this last amount from the former, and you will find that Mr Derks’ Estgte was worth 86 43 cents!—Bear in mind that he left no money, and thatMaj White," the clerk, .had the proceeds of this proper ty in his hands, prior to the last order of the Justices of the Inferior Court. But Fellow Citizens, look to the. will itself, the oath thereto annexed, and the order of Court.—it states: “theep being one subscri,' bing witness to said paper, purporting to be a will who did refuse to come forward to prove the said paper &c. it was declared of no avail. Certainly it could not be of any avail, if the only mao who could prove its Execution refused to come forward. But suppose Mr Duka had come forward, could HE HAVE CONTRADICTED HIS EXAMINATION DELIBERATELY SWORN TO AS TO DERKS* sanity ? My case is now fairly before you, and 1 indulge the flattering belief, that you ?re perfectly satisfied, I am blameless throughout the whole transaction. It is at all times extremely unpleasant, to me disr tressing, to be constrained 10 appeal to you, on my owu affairs. But if ever an impe rious necessity existed f r so doing, it is at the present crisis. Base, dastardly, insi- duous calumny, with all its poison,!' venom anil foul design, attempts to rob me of that, it can never give,—in its serpentine gam bols, it infected as it progressed, until the raysof truth darting upon it with its thup- der—it sunk in its natural debgsetnent and had so far succeeded, that calumny her- could find nught whereon to impeach m Honor and Integrity—But I was mistakec] the dishonorable and malignant are neva at a lops for charges, and the fadilitiesi introducing them to the People are v. great for the Peace of Society, not that mean to inveigh agairtBt the liberty of tl| Press, but against its abuses in the indij criminate publication of any and evei piece to which a name may be attache without regard to the character of the pa] ties, pr the nature of the charges. But t the point, on Saturday last, while alwa from the city, Michael Hrown. ai tU 1* firm of Brown and Overstreet founduikll to introduce into the paper of that day] publication addressed to me, in which 1 charges me with having defrauded him, m invites n prosecution that he might hav<*a opportunity of giving the Truth in eij dence. On my return to the city in tl evening, I was informed bv a friend of tl charge, and felt'all the indignation whid a mind conscious of rectitude, thus as ed, could feel. My reputation had attacked, and in the excitement ofl moment, I acted from the impulse^of t feelings, for though chastisement inflicted, it should have been moi ignominious to have been just, adopted the only course which suggests itself to my mind, and though it wise: f endered in the moment of mental ag:onl felt satisfied that reflection couln Bfl placethc individual on a footing with ma as an honorable man, to establish the that he was aiid is not an honorable mai it will be necessary for ine to travel I and claim your indulgence, while! pl before you the source of this man’s dil like, and the origin of my contempt f| him.
