Private letters from Martinique announce
the arrival at that island of 12 ships uf war,
6 of which are French, and 6 Spanish.
Quern.—Is that expedition connected
with the plan of attack on New-Orleans
meditated by ool. Burr, and which the
Alexandria papers state to have been com-
municated by general Wilkinson to our go-
vernment • Foreign assistance is mention-
ed in that communication, and that assist-
ance is to come from the West-Indies. A'
concatination of ideas is not irrational in
the present case.
You may rely on the abo'ue news, and
make of it what use you may think proper.

From the Philadelphia Gnvette,
THE PLOT RIPENING !
In addition to the article below, taken from
a New-Orleans paper, we have re-
ceived letters from that place to the 10th
Dec. They concur with this article in
representing tfee extraordinaryferment that
prevails ; and as every thing on tins sub-
ject is sought for with avidity, we shall
¦ prefix an extract from our private corres-
pondence :
Ne'iv-Qrlean., Dec. 9.
" You will have heard that general Wil-
kinson has been here some days. His move-
ments being of a military and defensive
nature, excited much curiosity for the cause.
To-day a full explanation was made. The
governor this morning, having convened the
merchants, announced that col. Burr with
a considerable force, was descending the
river to attack . this territory, and thereby,
effect a separation of the western from the
Atlannc states.
He added that he had received informa-
tion (which to his mind was conclusive of
Burr's treasonable designs) from general
Wilkinson, who at his request, had attended
the meeting.—Wanting sailors to man the
gun-boats, he informed us, that he had call-
ed the meeting, in hopes that the merchants,
by releasing the sailors from their engage-
ments, would obviate the upleasant necessi-
ty of resorting to impressments.
The general then rose, & in a very hand-
i some and impressive manner, addressed the
meeting. He assured them the present was
a moment, in which any delay would in-
deed be dangerous. He entered very mi-
nutely into the nature and object of Hun's
conspiracy. Its first point was the subjuga-
tion of this city, in order to obtain the mo-
ney in the banks, which, with requisitions
on the city, was to prepare an armament a-
gainst Mexico.
He declared, that the plot had been com-
municated to him, in confidence, under the
expectation of his joining it. A long and
intimate friendship had subsisted between
him and seme of the loaders of the treason ;
and he lamented most bitterly, that in the
course of that intimacy, his character had
been so grossly misconceived, as to imagine
that he was open to corruption. He then
openly- denounced AAJiON BURR, as the
leader of the scheme, altlio' supported by
some of the first characters in the union. He
concluded by pledging bis life in the defence
of the city.
An embargo has been the consequence of
this meeting, and every preparation is mak-
ing to defend the city. The people general-
ly are indignant on the occasion.

JOLIN YOUNG,
JOHN AISQUITH, Justices of
the Peace, for the city and county of Balti-
Benvare of Counterfeits.—We are desired
to inform the public that within a few days,
bank notes of the United States, have been
offered at a discount to several shopkeepers
in a neighboring town, by a well-dressed
man, marked with the s mall-pox in his face,
and whose accent denotes an European—a
little vigilance among the receivers of mo-
ney may prevent a fraud and bring an of-
fender to punishment.

In Senate, on Monday the 5th instant,
Gen. Smith movedthatacommitteeshould
be appointed to inquire whether any addi-
tional force was necessary in the military
establishment of the United States. He in-
troduced it by saying that he had been of
opinion in 1803, that the army might with
safety be reduced to its present establish-
ment ; but that having added to our territo-
ry an immense country, situated at such" a
distance from a possibility of giving it im-
mediate assistance from the militia of the U.
States, he had for some ti.ne been of opini-
on, that an additional force had thereby beyi
made necessary.
C{ "nmiimcat'toii —It is one of the subjects
of very cor' listen! vns are absurd and unrea-
sonable. The responsibility uf safe keep-
ing—the trouble of paying the money, by
drafts for the convenience of government,
from one department of the bank to another,
is certainly not overpaid by any advanta-
ges that may be derived from temporary-
deposits.
Of sixty or seventy other banks, each of
them might with' equal colour of reason,
make a similar request with that of the Man-
hattan, without perhaps being able to satis-
fy the government or its officers, with re-
gard to their responsibility. If the thing
were at all possible, it would break in upon
one of the most convenient systems, that
ever was adopted in any extensive mercan-
tile country in the world.
It seems as if the opposition to the federal
constitution, that originated in a jealousy
about state influence, would never cease 5
at least while any part remains of the most
valuable traits of the system of government,
that was organized under it by its able fra-
mers. There are no doubt men who wish
to bring us back to the old rope Sand, the
act of Confederation A favorite and pro-
mised measures they are bent upon com-
pleting, which is to make the judges of the
courts, dependent on the other branches of
the government. [fhil. pap.^

Her virtues are recorded in Heaven,
where she reaps the fruits of a well spent,
though short life—and enjoys the blessings
bestowed only on those who walk in the
ways of their God, and keep his command-
ments.
Congress of I he United Stales.
HOUSE OF RRPHSSKNTATIVES-
Wednesday, January 14.
[Taken for the FEDERAL GAZETTE.]
The house of representatives was this day
principally occupied in discussing anamend*
ment offered by Mr. Bidwell, a day or two
ago, to the " bill providing for the punish-
ment of certain crimes against the United
States." The object of this amendment
was to declare, that persons giving security
for keeping the peace, and being of good be-
havior .within the U. States, should forfeit
such recognizance on committing any acts
against the peace of any fther country with-
out the limits of the U. States. This occa-
sioned considerable debate. It was opposed
by Mr. Dwight and others, on different
grounds. Mr. D. put a variety of oases by
way of elucidating its absurd and dangerous
tendency. Suppose, he said, that the hon.
mover of the amendment were to be appoint-
ed attorney-general, and bad to give securi-
ty for fulfilling the duties of his office i I
know, indeed, that an attorney-general has
not to do so at present ; but I really think
it will be necessary, if ever another attorney-
general should be appointed from New-Eng*-
land, from the specimen we have already
had. Well, suppose that gentleman should
happen to sing Yankee Doodle, and thereby
Create a idot (for such things, he said, had
occurred) would it be just or proper that his
security should be forfeited on that account ?
He then spoke of the sedition law, & con-
tended, that this amendment, if adopted,
would be infinitely more oppressive in its ef-
fects, than the provisions of that law, which
had excited such a clamor, and on which
tome gentlemen could scarcely reflect, even
now, without the most heart-rending groans.
He then read the second section of that law,
which specifies the different offences & their
punishment : this, he observed, was not the
case with the present amendment ; & a man
might therefore, under it, be subject to as
much tyranny and oppression, as under the
Spanish inquisition.
On taking the question (strange to tell! )
an amendment which had been adopted by
the house, in committee of the whole, was
rejected by a majority of 10S.
The bill was then ordered to be engrossed
for a third reading to-morrow.
A bill, making provision for the sale of
the public lands situate between the U. S.
military tract and the Connecticut reserve,
and for other purposes, was read twice, and
referred to a committee of the whole on
Friday.
A bill, authorising the erection of certain
light-houses, &c. was read twice, and refer-
red to a committee of the whole on Mon-
day.
