Sir,
His Britannic majesty's forces are in pos-
session of Maldonado, and with a view to
save time, as the general is on shore, I sum-
mon you to surrender the island of Gorreti.
Any opposition on your part, to such a
force as is now in this bay, must be fruit-
less, and if you do not allow the ofticer who
is charged with this letter to hoist his ma-
jesty's colors at the fort, and trust to the
known liberality of the British nation, you
vvill have to answer for all the serious and
inevitable consequences of an attach, when-
ever the general and myself think it expedi-
ent to make one.

Extract of a letter received at Philadephia,
from Antigua, dated Feb. 7, 1807.
" Several American vessels have been
brought in here and St. Kitts, bound to
the Spanish Main. Recent instructions
are announced to have been received by ad-
miral Cochrane, and communicated to the
court here, from admiral Dacres, directing
the seizure of all vessels so destined. The
particular grounds of this communication
are not generally known, but the prevalent
idea is, that they have arisen from some pa-
pers intercepted in a Spanish, packet, taken
by one of admiral Dacres' squadron, which,
are said to disclose some arrangements for
carrying on an illegal trade :—The Spani-
ards being induced on account of the invad-
ed and threatened state of their southern pos-
sessions to employ neutrals to either carry
off tile produce or treasure of the country
considered in danger, or to supply ammuni-
tion and other means for its defence."

FRIDAY, MAHCH 27.
In the establishment of turnpike-roads,
our wise neighbors of Pennsylvania perse-
vere with an untiring assiduity, which, with-
out the necessity of comment, serves to ex-
hibit in a conspicuous manner the dark spirit
that presides in the general assembly of
Maryland. Some few enlightened and use-
ful men of late years have been found in the
house of representatives of this state ; but a
large majority of the delegates are, if capa-
ble, determined not to see and to pursue
that policy which alone can procure for
themthe unbought applause of the friends of
internal improvement, and of the people of
Maryland. The following proceedings in
Pennsylvania loudly proclaim the difference
between their and our legislators :
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
House of Representatives, March 23.
On Tuesday, the 17th instant, Mr.
Binney reported a bill to authorize the go-
vernor to subscribe for shares of stock in
curtain turnpike companies. It was found-
ed upon the report of the committee on
roads and inland navigation * submitted
some time since by that gentleman, and
was made the order of the day for Friday,
the 20th. On the afternoon of that day,
the house resolved itself into a committee
of the whole upon this bill, and after a state-
ment by Mr. B. of the importance of the
subject, the necessity of pursuing a liberal
policy in this respect, and the fatal tendency
of local jealousies, when indulged upon
such an occasion, the committee adopted
the bill by a large majority. Upon a second
and third reading, attempts were traade to
defeat it in an indirect way, but it triumph-
ed upon both readings, and passed the
house of representatives this morning, 47
ayes to 27 nays.
The bill directs the governor to subscribe
to the amount of 252,000 dollars for shares
of stocj^ in six companies airearly incorpo-
rated ; among others for 5000 in Easton and
Wilkesbarre, 1 2,000 in Susquehanna and
Tioga, and 30,000 in Sunbury and Read-
ing turnpike. It was necessary to conciliate
both northern and southern route advocates,
which upon the principle of the bill is not
only safe but beneficial. The money ari-
sing from tavern licences, and from J. Ni-
cholson's estate is appropriated to meet this
engagement ; and as principal and interest
are to be invested in stock, until they amount
to 300,000 dollars, there will be a balance
in less than 9 1.2 years of 42,000 dollars
which, in all probability, will goto the same
object. It remains with the senate to des-
troy or to cofisummnte this excellent plan
of internal improvement.
* Sec Federal Gazette, March 18.
New Government of Hnyti.
Thf people of St. Domingo have already
disposed of the Constitution, which we pub-
lished on th* 4th, 5th and 6th ultimo ; and
have adopted a new one. The chief altera-
tion is in the executive department. Henry
Christophe is elected president and general-
issimo, with a salary of 40,000 dollars a
3rear, which dignity is now conferred for
life.
A gentleman of this city has politely fa-
voivd the editor with the president's procla-
mation. This paper, which we will translate
for to-morrow, is to prohibit smuggling into
the island. Any person, native or foreigner,
guilty in this respect, will be punished with
death, and all his effects to be confiscated.
Extract of aletterfrom Fredericksburg (Va.)
to a gentleman in this city, dated March
25, 1807.
"Colonel Burr arrived here abiutfive
o'clock this evening (supposed) on his way
to Washington, under a guard of 8 men.
It is said by those who pretend to be in the
secret, that he is to be conducted to Rich-
mond for trial. He was arrested about the
middle of Feb. on the Mobile, by a Lieut.
Gains. Burr looks very bad, and is meanly
dressed."
From the Frankfort (Ken.) Palladium.
Mr. Hunter,
Having seen in the Western World of
the 12th instant, certain queries extracted
from the New-York Herald, addressed to
me, under the signature of " Interrogator"
—I am induced through your paper to give
the following answer : I do not think it
incumbent on any man assailed in a news-
paper to take notice of every impertinent
scribbler—yet it is a duty which all men
owe to their country and to their own cha-
racters to correct false statements, that the
facts which do exist may be impartially ex-
amined.
Interrogator states, " The papers inform
us, that Thomas Power, the agent of the
Spanish Baron de Carondelet, addressed a
a letter to you, and certain of your co-pa-
triots on the 19th of July, 1796, containing
propositions for dividing the western states
from the union, &c."
This statement is false. In my deposition
delivered to the com. of the legislature of
Kentucky, i n the case of Mr. Sebastian, which
contains the communication, it is dated
''Louisville, July 19,1797." Byattendingto
the date of the extract from the Kentucky
Herald, giving the deposition of Thomas
Power, relative to the searching of his boat
by lieut. Steele, it is improbable that Power
was in the state of Kentucky on the 19th
of July, 1796 ; because he states the trans-
action to have taken place" as he was ascend-
ing the Ohio to Pittsburg on the 8f/; day of
August, below the Red Banks, which I be-
lieve is about 200 miles below Louisville,
and below the inhabited part of the state at
that time.
I have stated in my deposition " -that I
never saw Mr. Power"—I again declare it
—neither have I had in any way any com-
munication with him, other than that stated
in my deposition—nor have I any knowledge
of the business which induced him to ascend
the Ohio in 1796.
The printers who have ieprinted the que-
ries are requested to give this a place in their
respective papers.
