The federal editors are loud in their clamours against the ad ministration, becaui'c the Britifti capture our veftels. They dex terously fhlft the blame from their English friends to our Go vernment. When the English adjudicated sc® American ves sels in 94 and 95, in the Wash ington administration, they were as humble as spaniel dogs. — Retaliation was never thought of by Federalists at that time ; they seemed to kiss the rod that whipped them. Mr. Jay was lent to London, and a Treaty was the consequence. Ten years afterwards we got payment for these adjudications, and re ceived about four millions of dollars, &c. under an article of the Treaty which the federalifts Laid would not coll us a cent. — Our merchants who had fuffer ed, it is meant luch as knew their interest, liked the Treaty, because it held out indemnifica tion for their loffes* but they overlooked the commercial dif ad vantages and reftridions which the Treaty entailed upon their eountry, The Treaty enlarged the lift of contraband articles to an extent unknown before.— Provisions were authorized f be ftized in certain cases. A merican lhips in the East-India trade were not permitted to go to Europe from India, but forc ed to come diredly to America, with their cargoes, however in convenient this might be.—- Blockades were left uncertain. We bound ourselves to lay no additional duties on English goods, &c. except such as were common to all other nations, & then the Rritilh reserved the right to countervail us-—and a bove all, we engaged not to con fifeate Bririfh property or debts in our country, in case of war breaking out, (but, by the way, Major Ruffcll has lately told us that this is mere moon-fume, fur he aurecs that war annihilates O all Treaties) Besides submitting t) these injurious aiticLs, Mr. PETERSBURG :— (Georgia) — Printed by BURKE & M‘DONNELL. .f a 7 stipulated that we should not export “ any Sugar, Coffee Cotton, or Cocoa, from th LTnited Stares in American ves sels, to any part of the world, reatonable sea (lores excepted” ! Here we might pause, and af ferr, that the late Britilh cap tures bear a strong resemblance to this provision of that hard Treaty. What ? American vessels not carry any Cotton, Sugar, or Coffee to Europe, be cause it suited the Brttifh policy ! The article containing this raon ftrous provision was abohfhtd, but the mere insertion of i: (hews how little Mr. Jay was acquaint ed with the interest of his coun try, and how ill disposed to af fert her rights to a free com merce. But the worst is noi vet detailed. The Treaty wa fiienton several important mat ters. It provided no fecurin for captures after its ratification, and we saw the confequenc* which followed-i—a wide spread depredation of our property on the ocean, as it was severely felt from her crifzers from ’94 to the peace of Amiens. T he impreffments of our sea- ; men was not noticed, and 2 or 3000 brave men were left on board Britifti men of war and guard ships, fix or eight years, to fight the battles of George 3d without the two federal adm'i niftratfons doing much, if any thing, to procure their release. The T reaty profeffed to give reciprocal advantages, and the advantages were all on the fide of England. These things are now only mentioned, to point out the iritonfiflency of fome of the federalifts, who are vocifer ous in condemning the present administration at this time, on aeconnt of the late English cap tures, when it is well known Mr. Jefferfon is doing all in his power to arrest the mifehief, bv proper and energetic represen tations to the British govern ment. But the charge against the fedcralifts is this: they pal liated and excused the Rntifh during general Wafhirgcon’s & Mr. Adam’s administrations, for the fame things they now charge upon Mr. Jeff’erfan’s adminis tration. While the republicans have been uniformly confident in these particulars :—They boldly lpoke against the former captures, and they as loudly and as justly condemn thole ot the present period. They have ne ver whined and cried to the British court to take the com merce of the country into their protection. They have written no letters to ask convoy for merchantmen, and then experi enced the mortification of feeing the flips of their country plun dered before their eyes, by the vessels of war engaged to afford them protection. If losses have ! happened to our trade by the French, Spanish, or English cruizers, tt has not beenowing to a treaty with either, wh ch SATURDAY, December 14, 1805. ■acrificed the best commercial privileges which & neutral nati y enjoyed. When federal e ditdrs arraign the conduct of the present administration, it would be weil for them to call their eyes back upon the conduct of the two others which preceded it. With refpet to natural rights, the voice of all republi can America cannot be mista ken. We are justly entitled t 6 a free trade, in our native as well as foreign articles, not con traband of war. We have a right to supply all the bellige rent nations and their colonies with innocent and lawful mer chandize, and to receive in pay ment their manufactures and produce, which ire have also the right to dispose of after wards in any foreign market moft convenient to be visited by our trading vessels. When the belligerent nations violate these r ghts, they commit aggressions which we may oppose with force. Retaliation may be employed, whenjuftice is refufed; or ne gotiation may be juftifiably re sorted to, and if this fails, the nation may redress the wrong bv declaring war, or by retaliat ing in any milder way, as policy or prudence may dictate. LONDON, October 1. An Opposition Paper of this morning fays <• it is well known that a sum of not less than 2,000,0001. sterling (in dollars taken from the Spaniards by the gallant Commodore Moore and others) are forthwith to be transmitted to our Allies, and that the order is already len: down to the Bank for that? pur pose. O&ober 3. Difpatchcs, we understand, have been received from lord Nelson, announcing his having joined the fleet of Cadiz. Private advices from the Continent state, that the son of the EleCtor of Bavaria is detain ed an holtage in France, in con fcqucnce of the treaty lately signed between his Electoral Highness and the Emperor of Germany—a circumstance which fufficiemly accounts for the ap parent indecision of the former, with refpeCt to his military con dud at the present important juntture. The firft division of the French army pafled the Rhine on the 24th u!t. at Mantz, and were expeCted at Offcnbah on the following day. Austri ans were rapidly advancing to meet them ; we are daily in ex pectation of receiving advice of an important action having ta ken place. The intelligence dated on Wednesday lull, on the autho rity of a letter from Vienna of the date of the 9th ult. which flares, that on the zorh August, a force of 15,000 Ruffians landed at Naples, which were immedi 2*e'v’ march'd toaf-d in rHc de- fence of the North-Western frontiers, threatened by the French, while gen. Craig was j expeCled hourly with 5,000 men ! from Malta to garrison the cap ital by invitation from Ms Sici ? Fan Majesty.

Ail the officers and Soldiers out on furlough are ordered to join their Regiments as soon as poflible. I o-day the Cabinet miaifter Count Haugwitz, set out cn his journey for Vienna.

To the Declaration lately made to our Court by the Swe dish government, a decisive an swer was returned soon after its receipt We are informed that our Court will join the armed neu trality in the North of Germany. NA TCHEZ, Odober 8.
