to.a-'y deny ; and .-ay that neitStSr tli? la*
or usage of independent nations recognize
such a principle.
It is, indeed, we understand, customary
for the commanders of men of war on the
high seas and on foreign stations, as an act
of courterey, to surrender deserters from each
other. But in this case the act of desertion
is direct from one vessel to the other ; and
the delivery is a matter of favor not of
right.
Let us then hear no more of this most
absurd of all absurd pretensions. However,
the Englishman, whose habitual perversion
6f mind has accustomed him to measure
right by force, may rave in the delirium of
Lis passions ; let us look upon that American
as a promising candidate for bedlam, who
hroaches such opinions; and, particularly,
let our eyes be hxed upon him in times like
these.

COMMUNICATION.
JlTr. tfouwt,
Had the writer of a certain article in your
paper yesterday, called on a justice of the
peace, it mi,.;lit have been ascertained whe-
ther any of the blacks detained at the house
in the south-west end of the city, were sto-
len. But, -whether in consequence of the
writer** mi,taken zeal or not, the persons
have left town with the blacks, all ot whom,
the landlord says, were b 't in this town o'r
on the Eastern Shore, and in part confined
in the county jail until this morning.
One of the Justices.
I'ront the Virginia Gazette.
Mr, Davis,
A publication made in your paper by Mr.
Beverly purporting to be an account of
some occurrences which took place respect-
ing general Wilkinson, before the strand
jury, which lately attended the United
States court at Richmond; doth certainly
contain some errors. They will be rectified
as far as my name is concerned by the pub-
lication of this note.
There was no motion made to present
general Wilkinson, fat high treason, that I
remember ; there certainly was *o vote ta-
ken on such a question. A motion was
made to present genera) Wilkinson for mis-
prision Of treason. The jury divided, seven
for, nine against the presentment. I was
with the m-A-irity.
A motion was also made to present the
pen end for a violation of the laws and co'n-
stifnti n of the United States I do not re-
member how the jury divided on this ques-
tion, but I was with the majority.
I should not perhaps have tr ubled you
with this address, ha 1 it n< t become neces-
sary to correct another mistake.
I am informed that several gentlemen in
Richmond have said, and perhaps certified
under their hands, that they received an ac-
count from me, corresponding uith the
statement made by Mr. Beverly. Theae de
derations and certificates if any such trier-
be, must be due to a misunderstanding or
Mfsappl'Oation of the terms of my conversa-
tion.—I never did state to anv person that
tiie grand jury were divided on a motion to
present general Wilkinson for high treason ;
or that any uich question was made before
them.
After the grand jury were discharged,
and in course of the next day, sundry gen
tlcmen of my acquaintance, at different
times and places addressed me to the follow-
ing effect.—L' We have heard contradicto-
sy accounts of the division of the grand
-jury, upon a motion to present general Wil-
kinson, (vithout stating for what offence)
will you be so good as to give us the correct
account ? I answered " I believed the jury i
yvere divided, seven for nine against the
presentment." The misunderstanding, I
suppose must have happened this way.—
Those who had heard of Mr. Beverly's
Mr. Beverly's- account of a motion to pre-
sent f-r High Treason, -which -was not made,
connected with it, my answer which could
refer to other than the motion to present for |
misprision of treason which was made. Or, I
if any gentleman addressed me in terms
whicin authorised him to regard my answer
as applicable lp a question of high treason,
I did not attend sufficiently to the terms of ,
his question, or should certainly have set
him right. I can see no motive for wilful ;'
misrepresentation of this subject on the
part of any. I will suppose none to exist.
WILLIAM DANIEL. Jun.
Cumberland, 18th July, 1807.
From the Democratic Press.
I observed in your paper of Monday last
a communication, stiled " Vodges tit.Duane,"
¦in which the author has endeavored to im-
press the public mind with an opinion, that
I had been guilty of .-rudeness towards Mrs.
Diuine, which is false ; and in answer to
which I beg leave to give the following
statement of facts. On Saturday last my (
friend major general John Barker, called on |
rue, and showed me a most villainous attack ;
on his character and reputation in the Aura- j
ra, and requested me to wait on the editor, ;
col. Wm. Duane, to demand of him an ex !
planalion upon the subject. Agreeably to ,
J^n: wish of the general, I called at vh>.' book- I
see*c of Duane, and oi inquiring Tor h'rti,
I was told that he was not at home'. " I call-
ed again about two o'clock, and asked the
boy if the colonel bad come in. He hesita
ted a little, and then answered that he had
been in, but would not see me. On colonel
Duane's name being mentioned, Mrs. Duane
made her appearance, and said that he was
so much engaged in consequence of Wil
liam's absence, that he refused to see some
of his most particular friends. 1 observed
then, that possibty the colonel might sup-
pose I had come to insult him, as a misun-
derstanding had for some time subsited be
tween us. ; but, I assured Mr*. Duane, that
I had no such intention. She then observed
that I might leave my business in writing.
I expressed my disinclination to do so ;
but desired her to inform him that I
would call again. She then referred me
to a Mr. Sproul, who had just stept in—
During the whole of this conversation, Mrs.
Duane did not appear to be at all alarmed,
or to have the least idea of the nature of
m business I called, for the third time,
about 7 o'clock in the evening, and was told
that the colonel was in. In about 15 mi-
nutes, he made his appearance from the back
room, at which instant three persons came
in at the front door. As Duane approached
I advanced to meet him, addressing him as
follows: " Sir, I have a message from Gen.
barker, which I wish to deliver in private."
He replied, " I will hear no message from
you." I attempted to reason with him, but
without effect; he flew at me in a furious
manner, but rinding he could do nothing
with me himself, he oiled the three persons
to his assistance, exclaiming " kick the
damn'd rascal out of the house." They fell
on me like so many villains, and broke my
guard, at which rime Duane struck me in
the face, and cut me under the eye with a
knife, or some small instrument which he
bad in his hand when he came out of the
back room. During this time I never once
attempted to strike Duane, but told him that
his house protected him ; that if he daied to
come into the street, 1 would give him what
he deserved. This the fighting colonel de-
clined, by saying I was too big. I observed
that I would be the better mark for him, and
firesumed thai he knew what I meant; but
that he was a cowardly assassin, who would
fight no one in an honorable way. He re-
plied he would not fight me in any way.
Some gentlemen interfered, and intreated
me to go ii to Dr. Seybert's to have tne
wound dressed, two physicians gave a deci-
sive opinion that it was cut with some shar/i
instrument, and not with the colonel's knuc-
kle, so much talked of.

TO THE FREEMEN
Of the state of Pcnsybuania.
The subscriber proposes to f mi a com-
pany for the purp se of boring land, and
collecting those machines in order to find
out tiie internal composition, of tiie bowl,
of the earth, 011 the Rivers Susquehanna.
Juniata, Kinkmenetas and Allegany.
Experiments of this kind, are not attend-
ed with any considerable expence ; and
they give as much knowledge ol the inter-
nal structure of the earth, as wiil be obtain
ed by 50 times the sa'i'e expence in digging
to any considerable depth, and wore expe-
ditiously. . •
Many valuable Ores, or Minerals. &c.
appear in such a rude state a true knowledge
of their different value, can only be obtain-
ed by experiments. A soil proper for ma-
nure, may be judged by the planter—but
as matter, they come under the enquiries of
the philosopher. Those hints are not in-
tended to lament any loss of time, or remis-
ness in the pursuit of useful knowledge, but
to furnish matter to futuie studies—that
while we glory, (as American.-,) in .-hat ve
are we may not neglect what we -re to be.
It is said, that lands in England, France,
&c. have been raised to six times tne value,
by the discovery of chalk, coal, &c.
In digging a hole to sink a post some
time ago, in the state of Delaware, the la-
borers threw out with the soil, a line blue
powdered earth, resembling indigo ; which,
when mixed with oil, was used for paint.
The following are the sentiments of Dr.
Franklin on the subject, in a letter to a
friend some time previous to his death :
" The degree of improvement which A-
merica is already arrived to, is astonishing ;
but 'tis miniature to what she will one day
boast of. The bowels of the earth have
been only slightly inquired into. The ex-
external earth makes no proclamation of the
interior stores, but leaves to chance and in-
dustry the discover)- of the whole- By a
small degree of attention to the order and
origin of things, we shall perceive that tho'
the surface of the earth produces the neces-
saries of life, yet it is from the mine we
extract the conveniences thereof. Agricul-
ture and manufactures would wither aw ay
for want of tools and implements, and com-
merce stand still for want of materials.
Since so great a potion of cu. enjoyments
is drawn from the mine, it is certainly an
evidence cf our prudence to inquire and
know what onr possessions are. Every
man's landed property extends to the sur-
face of the earth. Curiosity alone would
direct him to examine, tho' not to the bot-
tom, at least to a considerable depth.
" The propriety and reasonableness of
those internal inquiries, are continually
pointed out to us by numberless occurrences.
Accident is almost every day turning out
some new secret from the earth. How of-
ten has the plough-share or the spade broken
open a treasuie, which for ages, perhaps
forever,-had laid just beneath the surface ?
Though every estate has not mines of gold
or silver, yet it may contain some valuable
property," . ,
Those gentlemen who wish to promote so
useful an undeitaking, are requested to call
a meeting at the different county towns,
some time previous to next November.; af-
terwards to apply to the legislatureot Penn-
sylvania for a charter.

The prmf^of newspapers w!R do an

Characteristic Anecdote of Admiral Berkeley.
The honorable admiral Berkeley, thenonly
a captain in the British navy, commanded
the Marlborough in Lord Howe's memorable
engagement on the 4th June. Early on that
day he got a scratch in the head, so very
slight that a midshipman would have been
ashamed to have mentioned it to the stand-,
ers-by during such an engagement. The
honorable captain, however, thought fit ifo
be prevailed ufivn to go down to tiie cock-
pit to have care taken of his wound for fear
of consequences, leaving the command of the
vessel to the eldest lieutenant, who being a
poor Hibernian, unfriended by any thing but
his own heart & hands, & of course without
interest at the admiralty, thought that this
was a glorious golden opportunity to make
a'dash and recommend himself to promotion
by some extraordinary deed dfp: j.vess. . He
accordingly lost no time in running up the
Marlborough where he thought she would
have enough of peppering, and where she
soon caught the vigilant eye of the brave
Howe, who with his spy-glass perceived her
very busily employed in paying her best
compliments to three French line of battle
ships, one of which r..ked her lore and aft.
Astonished and Concerned at her situation,
his lordship hastily called to sir Roger Cur-
tis his captain, and said, « Why°sir Ro-
ger, sir Roger ! what in he name" of Hea-
vencan be the matter with the Marlborough ? '
Sir Roger who knew Berkeley, and was
keen, satirical, and witty, as well as brave
and humane, looked for a moment through
his glass at the Mailbon.ugh, and then turn-
ing round to lord How drily replied, " /don't
know, my lord, but I should imagine from
he conduit of the Marlborough that captain
Berkeley has been killed."

Also, ship Nancy, Williams, .4 days from
