iy cf the command,,-!: in chief. I care h^it
for the coi;i1ii:cli<-ii3 which may be placed
Upon my assertion* ; but I will venture lo
declare that since the adoption ofthe Feder-
al Constitution, no man has hid it oo much
in his power or has so effectually used it,
to ceiwiler services to hi; country, as gen..'W.
has done by defeating this project : and yet
for this illustrious service, he has been as
much censured, insulted and denounced, as
if he had joined in it.
It is not right to anticipate the defence;
but the prisoner himsejf stated while under
examinafibrt, that the object of his expedi
si.vi v. -,v; peaceful and agricultural. 11 this
ground shall be again taken, we shad find
110 difficulty in bringing together a variety
of ciicurn.-laiices to prove its instability-----
At present I am to i much exhausted to de-
tail them ; but that task, if necessary, shall
hereafter be performed.
I have observed, thai you would enter upon
1 'lis inquiry with calmness and impartiality ;
and I must hope, too, with firmness. This
CNiextion is to be contemplated and decided
very same principles as if the place
of the prisoner were occupied by the most
Hit man. ia the community. It is true
UP has been the vice president of the U.
S. the seconAjp office, and perhaps the sf-
cojid in the confidence of his fellow-citizens ;
and that he has tal "tits and energies which
Et the approaching ciisis might have been
employea most honorably to himself, and
most usefully to his country. Hut these
ciicumstances ;.\rgrav,-:;e, if any thing; can
aggravate, rather than extenuate the enor-
mity of his crime. It is not often, at least
in other countries, that the laws of society
operate upon men of his stamp. Lord Geo.
Gordon, Ule miserable fanatic Wfis actjuittt d ;
whife i9 of his poor and deluded followers
were hung up at once and paid the forfeit of
his crimes, t call upon you, gentlemen of
the jury, to remove all such distinctions in
thU^and of equality ; to do the strictest
justice to all : and to tind upon the evidence
which will be produced before you.
BY THIS DAY's MAILS.
aUHiSKC, August 3.
On Saturday were committed to goal 3
Americans, lately arrived from the United
States for endeavoring to seduce 2 Serjeants
of the 49th regiment, to desert. When be-
1" re the magistrate,' it is said that one of
them pleaded that he was a gentlemen, and
that the magistrate to prevent the gentle-
man's being condemned to associate with
common fellows, ordered the goaler to con-
fine him in one of the cells, whilst the com-
mon fellows were simply committed.
MONTREAL, August 10.
We learn that there are three full regi-
ments on their way to (iuebec and that
Montreal will be the head-cpiarters of the
41st regiment and the Canadian fencibles —
so that in case of any sudden attack from
the United States, we shall not be found un-
prepared to give at least 5000 militia a warm
lion.

WEDNESDAY, Al'GVST 35.
We have been unable to obtain any in-
formation to confirm the supposed capture
(or theft) of the Othello. Captain Deagle,
wiio arrived this morning with his Norfolk
packet, did not see the Othello in the bay ;
the to st information which he received of
the affair was obtained here. The entry at
the coffee-house excited much uneasiness in
the public mind, and we are informed that
two vessels,-full of men, and provided with
sweeps, proceeded last night in pursuit of
the Othello. Many conjectures are natural
ly made ; but as the whole aifair appears to
be enveloped in mystery, we can hazard no
comment at present.
Extract of a letter from the cajitaiii of an
American -vessel at Laguira, dated July 25,
to the editor of the New York Mercantile
Advertiser.
" Previous to my departure, I promised
you if I saw any thing- worthy the notice
of your excellent paper, to communicate it
to you. I therefore sit down in this dread-
ful place, to give you the details of injustice
and piracies committed on our commerce, „as
well as a list of Americans now in this port
" I conceive it a duty 1 owe to roy fellow-
citizens, to give such information as may
prevent them from falling into error. A
number of small open boats are fitting out
here, whether by order of government or
individual enterprize I know not ; but that
they commit depredations in the open view
of this port, on our unprotected commerce,
is certain ; several Americans having already
experienced the mortification of being bro't
in here, as well as into Cabello (which seems
to be the favoiite port, being at a greater
distance from the seat of government) under
the special pretence of having British good*
on board ; and after experiencing every spe-
cies of insult, they are allowed to take their
vessels again, and their cargo if not British
goods, but all of them condemned, and no
redress in either case, whether you have
them on board or not.
" I have an instance now before my eyes
of an American ship in the offing, taken by
a Spanish privateer (formerly the Fis-Gig
of N. York) and is about conducting her to
Porto Cabello. What ship she is I cannot
tell; but this is her description—a pretty
long low ship, yellow sides, ports apparent,
whether painted or real I am not able to
judge ; no figure head, 3 top-gallant yards
and royals. Some of the vessels have abso-
lutely been taken in the act of letting go
their anchors, and carried away. I shall be
obliged, from the distressed state of the mar-
ket, to return with nearly all my cargo, or
make a sacrifice of one third at least. Few
of the Americans have done better; some
have been wise enough to depart. A brig
from Salem sailed for Maricaibo the 23d,
after being offered 8 dollars for his flour.—
It is morally impossible for our merchants
to form an idea of the situation of this mar-
ket. Cocoa and coffee 23 dolls. Cotton
from 18 to 19 doll. Indigo 1 dol. and 94
cents per lb.
" A list of American vessels in this port,
the 25th July :—schr. Brutus, King, for
Philadelphia, in4days; Farmer, Schoyen,
do. i day ; Richmond, Hasvi ell, do. un-
certain; Amazon, Sturges, New-Haven, 8
days; Ranger Moffett, Philadelphia, 8 days;
Juliet Seymour, Weston, arrived on the
21st July ; brig Polly and Betsey, Selby,
Philadelphia, uncertain ; Rising States, of
George-town, 2 days ; brig Aspasia, Mar-
renner, of New-York, in a few days, with
her outward cargo ; the three masted schr.
Jason, from Norf Ik, just arrived and in
quarantine, capt. Davis sick."
From the same to the same, by the ship Br'utus.
LaguiRJI", July 28, 1807.
SIR,
" I wrote to you on the 25th instant and
requested you to publish the facts stated in
in that letter ; they being of such a nature
and immediately under the eye of this go-
vernment, that I think they cannot plead
ignorance.
" A similar affair to the one I mentioned,
happened yesterday. An American schoon-
er being about 2 leagues to windward, and
baffled with small winds (her colors very dis-
tingushable) at 4 P. M. a boat from one of
those picaroons departed full of men from
this port in quest of her. I particularly
watched his motions, and at 20 minutes be-
fore six I saw him board her, and no doubt
he has carried her off, as there is no appear-
ance of her this morning You may rest
assured that any thing of this nature shall
not pass unnoticed, and that I will give you
the facts from time to time and request their
publicity, that my countrymen may not go
unarmed, and be any longer the dupes of
those piratical rascals."
Accounts from different quarters, though
not official, mention that both the Floridas
have been ceded to the United States. :
[Register,,]
Lord Lavington, gov. of the Windward-
islands, died at Antigua the 1st inst.
Commodore Prkblh, we learn, has re-
turned to Portland, from his late aquatic
excursion ; and we lament to hear, that he
has derived but little benefit from it ; and
that very little hopes are entertained of the
liiie of that able and gallant officer.
The following observations by lord Auck-
land, which we copy from the debate in the
British house of lords of the 29th of June,
as given in the Globe, of the 30th, shews
that the rejection of the treaty between the
United States and Great-Britain was " not
accurately ascertained" in London, at that
dale.
" 'Levying money •tvithout the consent cf
parliament.—Lord Hawkesbury rose to lay
before the house the order of council, bear-
ing date the 27th of hist May. autho
the con:in...vtice of the trade wit!
of America, under the specific limitations' of
the tStpired act of parliament, Which had
heretofore regulated it. Me informed their
lordships that it was the intention of his
majesty's government to revive the act for
regulating 'hat trade, and to fnsrtyt a clause
of indemnity for the exercise of these pow
eis, which, under special circumstances, his
majesty's government had conceived it ad-
vi.„iiile to exert, although contrary to law.
" Lord Auckland declared himself unwil-
ling 11 cuter into a permature discussion of
the questicn ; at the same time he thought
it but fair to apprize the noble secretary of
state, that there was no intention with his
majesty's late govove.rnment of continuing
the legislative act which regulated the com-
mercial intercourse between thiscountry and
the United States of America ; and that
for the most obvious reasons, the most strik-
ing of which was, that in the present situa-
tion of the world, it Was fixed to restrict the
carrying trade -which neutrals, and. of
course, the Americans, had with our East-
India possessions. Indeed, the situation of
the late treaty, which the commissioners
for the two countries had signed, put it out
of the power of any administration to act
definitely, until eitherthe approval or re-
jection of that treaty by the respective go-
vernments was accurately ascertained."

glis, Mr. Jesse L. Keene, of Philadelphia,
late ef the United States Navy, to Miss
Jennett Bryden, second daughter of Mr. J.
Bryden, Keeper of the Fountain Inn.

day last he came to anchor" in Patuxent in
company with ship Olhello> Glover, from
Liverpool, bound to naltimore, shortly af-
ter a small pilot boat built schooner came
in and anchored between him and the ship,
a man came on board his schooner, who
from speech and manners, appeared to be
Frenchman, who told him his vessel was
from Baltimore, bound to St. Domingo,
and made a great deal of euquiry about the
ship. The next morning (yesterday) got
underway found that the Othello was under-
way, together with the schooner standing
dou/n the bay ; the schooner's deck was as
full of men as could be ; she had a French
flag flying at her maintopmast head, and
boats were constantly going between the
two as long as he saw them. From these,
and other circumstances, capt. R. thinks
that they must have taken possesion of the
Othello the night before.
