FEDERAL C; V/ETTE.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31,
The Washington mail of thisday has fur-
nished us with th= first number of the " At-
lantic World," published by John Wood.
Mr. Wood is determined, in whateve.
"World" he may write, to hunt downconr
^piracy, and denounce all who he hiay, un-
fortunately, perhaps, suspect as conspirators-
lie comes out with this daring declaration :
4i From the information of winch I ani
possessed, and from the documents 1 have
seen, I believe that Burr is innocent, and
of the two, Wilkinson is the traitor."
Mr. Wood may repent of this hasty de-
nunciation. We pretend to no uncommon
knowledge of the character of gen. Wilkin-
son; but we have no hesitation in entering
cur protest against such a charge, preferred
at a moment when it appears, from every
information within our reach, that this gen-
tleman is exerting his best ability to sup-
press an enterprize, equally disgraceful to
our country and perilous to the Hotspurs
embarked in it.
Captain Teubner, of the brig Olivia, ar-
rived at New-York, informs, that on his
passage from Guadaloupe he was captured
and sent into St. Johns, Antigua, by the
Alexander Billington, belonging to a black
man, commanded by John Alshorn, a blue
man, and consigned in Antigua to a red
man, a tailor by trade. The captain of the
sthooner was also a gaol-keeper in Antigua,
when at home.
A Ncwburyport correspondent informs,
that the European (he calls himself a Prus-
sian) advertised in a late Centinel as passing
United States Bank bills, at a discount, sail-
ed from that poit on Thursday last, in the
schooner Regulus, Daniel Stone, master,
for Wilmington, (N. C); and has exchange
to considerable amount.
Extract of a letter from Netu.Orleans, dat-
ed December 17, 1806.
The following address was made in
open court by gen. Wilkinson, at New-Or-
leans, this day, on the occasion of appear-
ing to answer to a writ of habeas corpus, is-
susd to take from his arrest Dr. Bollman,
Burr's chief agent in this city. Near one
thousand persons were present. He had
sent oft" Bollman to Charleston.
" Called to account for an act in which
I glory, and for which I trust my country
will thank me, I shall meet the consequenc-
es with the applause of my own breast,
¦which I prize more than the hosannas of
thousands or the popularity of the world :
But when I cast my eyes on the movers
of this prosecution, my bosom is rent by a
conflict of emotions. Sorrow for their
depravity ; charity for their sympathies ; sur-
, prize at their indiscretion ; and astonish-
ment at their audacity. I would to God
that I could here close the proceedings of
this day ; but my honor, my duty, and the
j,;.fc.ty of tuc state forbid me. It is time an
universal alarm should.go forth to rfcJse -the
rrood citizen to a sense of his danger. The
deceitful calm moist no longer be suffered to
impose on us a treacharous security—nor
shall the artifices of the confederates be
longer employed to cheat the public judg-
ment. Treachery is in the midst of us.
Treason stalks abroad, asd the friends of
Burr and rebellion, whilst they ridicule our
1::i...ions, and scoff at our preparations,
with trembling solicitude implore his spee-
dy arrival to reward them for their apostacy,
and to rescue them from the goadings of
guit and the terror of impending punish-
ment." Finally, he charged James Alexan-
der with being a party to the conspiracy.
The harangue had an excellent effect
—the people's eyes were opened, and they
would rally round the general. He would
soon clear the city of the traitors< if gover-
nor Claiborne ,could think himself authoris-
ed to suspend the habeas corpus act.—He
still doubts whether he possesses that pow-
er.
Mr. Edward Pierce (says the Charleston
Courier) has communicated to us, other
plans, by which his three telegraphs, A. B.
and C. may be worked—his first plan was
a spelling plan—his second, a number plan,
making 9,999 different signals—'and his
plans No. 3 to 99, were nine plans, by
each of which, 81 different signals can be
made. He now acquaints us, that the plans
No. 'i to 99 inclusive, may be converted
into 98 different plans, which he balls 99
plans, by each of which he can make
970,299 different signals. . Each ninety-
nine plan consists of 99 different volumes,
each volume containing 99 chapters, and
each chapter 99 different signals. Telegraph
A; is first to shew the number of 99 plans.
After this the same telegraph is to shew in
which volume of that plan the signal is.
Telegraph B. then shews in which chapter
of that volume it is; Telegraph C. tells
the number of the signal in (hat chapter;
opposite which number will b6 found the
meaning of the signal in words.
By the whole of the 98 ninety-nine plans,
95-,OS9,302 different signals may be convey-
ed exclusive of the signals which can be
made by the spelling plan, and by the 18
new number plans mentioned in the Courier
of the 9th ult.
By the 18 new number plans (of 999,999
different signals in each) may be made,
17.S99.982 different signals. One (or more
if necessary) of these number plans, he pro-
poses should be used for a word plan, to con-
vey the knowledge of any word in the Eng-
lish language, by shewingthe number of that
word in a dictionary, to be composed for
that purpose, in an alphabetical manner, in
which each succeeding word should be mark-
ed with a number One higher in number than
the preceding word.
Each hew number plan requires a different
signal to be previously hoisted, before any
signal can be made by said number plans,
which previous signals are pointed out in a
manuscript which is left at the Library So-
ciety room.
Egyp tian Barley.— Mr. Snowler,ofReeves-
by, in Lincolnshire, in England, three
years ago planted 25 grains of Egyptian bar-
ley ; the second years produce was 10 bush-
els, from which, last year he reaped 40 quar-
ters, a part of which he lately sold at Spils-
by for five guineas per quarter.
A machine has been constructed by an in-
genious farmer at Newtown Cunningham
(Ireland) which with the assistance of a
horse and two men, will in seven hours
thrash uppards of 150 stooks of Barley or
leeth ; 50 stooks ot flax in a day. The
expence of the apparatus does not amount
to moie than six guineas.
A jury of inquest Was heid yesterday
morning on the body of a new African man
slave, belonging to Mr. Fordham, black-
smith, who had hanged himself in the
course of the preceding night, from the
shop window fronting Blake's wharf, with
a piece of small cord. The jury brought in
a verdict, that he came to his death by wil-
fully hanging himself in a fit of despair.

ANECDOTE.
An American captain was once challeng-
ed by a French officer at St. Domingo to fight
him at single combat. The Yankee skipper
had been a South-Sea whaler, and, curious
to relate, he took the field with his harpoon
in his hand, accompanied with his mate,
as a second : to the harpoon was fastened
several fathoms of line. The Frenchman
was punctual to his arpointment, but was
soon calmed by the words and jestures of
enemy : for, said the American skipper to
his mate, Brandishing his fishgig, " Jack,"
said he, " when I strike the Frenchman, you
stand by to play him."*
* When the whale is struct, the whaler veers
nut an immense coil of rope; which is tailed
" playing him-"

To the Public.
IT -would be painful to me at any time tb>
become a party in a newspaper controversy ;
hut in my present capacity as broker, an inter-
mediate fijfentin various dealings between one
fellow-citizen and another, -t is peculiarly Bo-
lt is nevertheless necessary to the vindication,
of my character from the aspersions cast there-*
on by Mr. Nimrod Owing*, in his advertise*
ment of the 20th instant, and I tenture to
hope tbe public will require no other apology-
I shall, however, Confine myself to a brief
and accuvate statement of facts, in my latelte-
g^>ciatiotl with Mr. Owings ; and without pre-
tending to insinuate what that^enz/eman'* con-
duct would have been had the stock purchased
of me on the morning of the 15th instant have*
risen in value, I submit to the public judg-
ment.
He purchased from me on the morning raeVi.
tjoned, 20 shares of Water Stock, on six;
months credit, for which I at tbe same times-
redcredhimabill, and took his note for g500»
which be men' "ins, and which for certain rea--
sons, he declares he will not pay. The stoctq:
stood in the name of two gentlemen, 10 Shared
each—l had 10 Shares of the stock transfer-
red almost immediately after the sals, and.
then went td-th© gentleman who held 4t8s¥> '
other ton, for the purpose of getting theirs
transferred also, and he was not at home. _E
left a verbal request with a gen'Jeman at hiss
bouse, that he would go as soon as he cam»:
in and make the transfer of the said 1C shares
to Ninirod Owings ; and then went in pur-
suit of my ordinary business, in hopes, at
the same time, to meet the gentleman in m)r
walks. The citizens may well recollect_white
a day it was of tumult and hurry ; I did not*
g<*t home to my dinner until it was past threes
o'clock. While I was sitting at it, the gentle-;
man who was to transfer the last mention-,
ed ten shares, entered my house, and told.: '
me he was come to attend me to transfer*
the shares. We went immediately together
to the compahy's office, to make the transfer.!
On application, how-ver, to the secretary, lies
replied that no more transfers could be mide
.luring the day; and on my'vrfging him to
take the transfer in question, he said that hi*
orders from the President and Managers'
were peremptory, and that he could not dis-
obey them. I therefore took a power of at-
torney, enabling me to make the transfer ;
and on shewing it to the secretary and learn-
ing that it was correct in point of form, I
was thereby enabled to make the transfer to
Mr. O. at the earliest passible lime—being
thus precluded, hot by "any personal defalca-
tion on the part of the gentleman who had
sold the stock,'or rnvself, but by a regulation
of the Water Company itself, from making
the transfer on that day, (which, by the bye, .
thcr.. was no agreement between Mr. Ow-
ings and myself, to have it done on that par-
ticular day) I called the following morning
with the same view, and wad then informed
by trie secretary, a further postponement ot
the transfer business had taken place, and
11 »t the books were a«dered to be closud
till the Monday following.
On Monday morning, the 19th instant, I a-
gain went to the office to make the transfer,^'
and then met Mr. Owings, who, on my appli-
cation to l-eccive the transfer of the Said ten
sharea, directed the secretary to whom I ad-
dressed my"self, not to receive it. Finding
him determined, I requested the secretary yj/
recollett the various applications 1 had n.s'lm
to have the transfer perfected ; all which ij, eve*'
indeed, too recent toSave escaped his memory",
and all of which he corroborated before. Mr. .
Owings, as t have above detailed them
With this plain statmcul oi 'Facta, I Teava
Mr Owings to his own reflections, and re- ,
main the public's obedient st . vant.
