The war with Great Britain breaking out soon after his arrival he enter- ed in'o the American army and distinguished hirtself for his Zealand enterprize. He serv- ed till the peace and afterwards became a practitioner of the law. In 1805, for the first time since his early migration, he visited his native isle ; where he was received with much hospitality and friendly recollection. While at St. Christopher;, the French land- ed and took the island. A contribution was levied upon the inhabitants of a million oj [iv rt>, which by an erroneous calculation was misunderstood and supposed to be equivalent to about 50000 pounds sterling. It was n t till within a single hour oi the expiration of the time given by the French commander, that the error was discovered. Upon explaining the em- barrassment to the French general, he at iiest refused to make any abatement. But on consulting the admiral, they agreed to reduce the requisition to about 50,000 pounds currency—but declaredthey would not make any further reduction. Every dol- lar in the clony was summoned to complete this sum, but in vain. It was at this mo- ment that general Mathews, with a magna- nimity beyond all praise, ccme forward to the succour of his suffering country, and drew upon Paris at his ovn risk for about 15,000 pounds currency, the sum wanted to complete the assessment.— The French general reposed the proper con- fidence in the good taith of an American officer, took the draft—embarked his troops, and the next day the French fleet left the Island During this transaction, the French cammander complimented gen. Matthews with a centinel at his door—and the gen. •wore bis uniform and the insignia of the order of Cincinnatus. After tiie departure of the French, the authorities of the Island expressed the gen- eral gratitude to gen. Matthews, for an act of humanity and courtesy which wdl never be f. rgotten. ROME May 6.

We have spared no trouble t'.iis morning to ascertain a correct knowledge of the facts connected with the villainous seizure of a valuable ship within oar own waters. The case of the Othello, so far as we are permitted to state at present, is this- : Ship Othello, captain Glover, from Liverpool for Baltimore, came to anchor on Sunday morning in the Patuxent —being a more agreeable harbor, with a head-wind, than in the open bay. Some time after the captain of the French frigate Le Cybelle came on board the Othello, where he continued about two hours. The behavior of the French captain was gentlemanly, and he obtained from csptaln Glover some English newspa- pers. Soon after the French commander had returned to his. ship, captain G. disco- vered a small schooner along si.le the Cy- belle ; which schooner prov-d to be a French privateer ; shortly after she came up and commenced firing on the Othello. The pri- vateer had discharged several vollies of mus- ketry on the Othello, a ball from one of which passed through the hat of captain G's mate, when captain G. sent off a boat to inquire into the cause of assault. The cap- tain of the privateer commanded captain G. to repair with his officers and papers, on board his vessel. The commander of the privateer said he would make prize of the O- thello, cis coming from an in gl*th port) and of the cargo, being British manufactures.— He acknowledged his intercourse with the French frigate, by stating that he had read the papers which had been received by her commander from captain G. After which, being asked what had been his business along side the Cybelle ? he answered, that " he had had an iron made for his rudder by her blacksmith." The privateersman, it appears, had offered a pilot 400 dollars to take him (in the Othel- lo) out of the Capes, clear of the British squadron. The pilot refused ; but we are not informed whether from this circumstance it was that the Othello was liberated. A full statement is preparing for the public of this outrageous conduct. From the relation of a respectable gentle- man, well acquainted with the facts above stated, we are inclined to believe that the privateer was countenanced by the comman- der of the Cybelle. This impression, we acknowledge, is produced by the assertion of the privateer's captain, " that the captain of Le Cybelle supplied him with 15 men, and offered 100." At such a crisis, sur- rounded by enemies, we must be permitted to protest against the doctrine that com- merce should protect itself: If we are not to have a navy, even capable of guarding the entrance of our harbors, yet we certain- ly could maintain a sufficient force to expel from our rivers such a contemptible robber as cannot carry a nine-pounder. The alacrity with which a number of vo- lunteers went in pursuit of the enemy, is no argument against the necessity of naval protection. Their patriotic ardour is a proof rather that such measures as the federalists plead for, are such as the American people demand, and such as the government will be compelled to adopt. We hope to be able, in our. next number, to give a formal and complete statement of the case which has so, much agitated the minds of our fellow-citizens. Accounts from Detroit, state, that the first effect of a war with Great-Britain will be a savage warfare on the whole extent of our frontier, by the Indians, who, notwith- standing all which our government have done for them, have a settled antipathy to the Long knives, as they call Americans. Accounts from The S/irings, say, that Gen. Moreau had left Balltown, on his return to New-York, having relinquished his design of visiting the fells of Niagara. His return had given rise to various conjectures; but we are told it was occasioned by the receipt of intelligence from France of the death of the mother of Mrs. Moreau. The g»..era! is I very free and communicative in his-conver- iti m on military or oilier topics; and does not hesitate to give, his opinjbn ofBonaparte, who., as a man, he d ;tests, but pesped soldier. Fishing or fowling are favoiite amusements of the general at the springs. There !: ive been 1500 persons at a time at the Ball wn ; .. thij season ; and it has ' been extremely sickly (here. In one hoiise, where about 150 persons lodged, no less than 10O were affected with the influenza at the same lime. [Bojitm Cent.} Captain Howell, of the brig Achilles, arrived at this port yesterday morning 19 days from St. Johns, Potto-Rico, informs us that four days before he sailed a Spanish schooner came in from Porte Cavello, with information that an expfess from Bueuos Ayres had arrived, anounciug the re-capture of Mont Video by the Spaniards, and the massacre of the British garrison. On Friday se'night, captain Woolberry, of the schr. Marry, arrived at Boston, from Berbice, was boarded on the south-west part of George's Bank, by the British frigate Milan, who had a brig under convoy. The officer informed captain \V. that they were from Halifax, bound to the Chesapeake, with live stock and provisions for the ships upon that station, as our government would not let thsna have supplies from the United States. [Ar. Y. paper'] TRANSLATION. Extract of a letter from Joseph Ysnardy, esq. to his corrcpondent. in New-York, dated consul, te of the United States of America, at Cadiz, the litfiof June, i807. Although I had long ago made up my mind not to waste my time nor my paper in announcing to the public the sentiments, as well moral as political, by which 1 am al- ways animated ; yet, as it is true that men of real sense in the United States of Ameri- ca, do not give credit to trifling reports, nor to personal injuries, more particularly when the libels are anonymous and the calumny of a mischievous tendency ; and as I have to live but a short time in this world, anrt am in* expectation of s.-eing the duties of this consulship discharged by another (u lien my merits only will shine) yet injustice to myself and to the public decorum, and from respect to my friends in that country, I think it just to summon my calumniator, let him be who he will, (notwithstanding I do really believe him not far distant from me, and that all he has caused to be pub- lished is false and of course unjust) to prove the contrary, and I wiil inflict upon him the chastisement that by law he deserves to suffer. In a few words, I will satisfy the public, and thereby remove disadvantage- ous impressions that my enemies may have created against me with their malicious fal- sities. In .a letter sent from this place on the i5th December, iS0<5, and published, it was insinuated that at last, to satisfy the wish- es of our worthy president, I had taken a house in this citj-, as if I had not had one before that time. It is well known and no- torious, that since the year 1768, I have kept house in this city, living under the same roof with Mr. Francis D. Heguiluy with whom I had mercantile concerns un'tij the year j794, without becoming a bank, rupt, and always transacted my affairs with honor. In i794, I^took the house in San Alexander street, No. 78, owned by Don Juan Vico, which I quitted in 1797, and went to live in another in the same street No. 178, owned by Don Francis Alvarez Campana, from which I removed last year, the 1st of October, to another in Aduana Vitja street, No. 2, belonging to Senores Palau, as appears by the Mercantile Alma- nack of this city, shewing that during 39 years past my residence has been in this city, and that at the same time I have kept my own house at Rota since the year 1760. Rota is only eight miles distant from Cadiz by sea, and by land through Puerto Santa Maria i2 miles ; and from my house at Ro- ta, I can see Cadiz ft the bay. I have also a view oft he sea to the distance of 20 miles ; so that if Rota was the place of my abode, it would be as well as Cadiz, being a port be- longing to my consular district. Although there are in Rota ferry boats gsing almost hourly to Cadiz, I keep one of my own constantly ready at a minutes notice for my business, and for this reason I aan stay a certain part of the year in my country place for the benefit of my health, without prejudice to my consular duty ; besides that I have a good agent to act in my absence, who never leaves the consular office, and myself signing daily any necessary docu- ments ; and if I chuse to put myself to the trouble and expense, without prejudice to iny office, what are the faults of which I am so falsely accused ? With this my de- claration, I also contradict every lie pub lished in the year 1805, of having absented myself 30 miles from Cadiz, which was in- tended only to deceive the public. In the same publication of the 15th Dec. 1803, in the very face of truth, it is made a subject of complaint that the port ot Al- gesiras was entirely neglected, when I had appointed at that place as my agent ad inte- rim, Don Pedro Parallo, who is fulfilling his duty as well as he is able, and as a man who has no salary for bis services, not even American consignments, because the few vessels going there are taken from him by any one who solicits them, his services are only t>> oblige me out of particular respect for me, and altho' J have represented to the government, since the beginning of this war the 11, cecity of appointing to that plrtce a inall of their own confidence, no- thing has been done ,• and what can the a- bfesl man do, when the supercargoes and masters of vessels abandon the property, provided their freight are paid to them, without thinking to appoint their attorney, or leaving money to appeal ? Notwith- standing this, I have myself caused appeals to be entered officially, giving information of it to Mr. Young, agent at Madrid, and by so doing I have fulfilled my duty ; and as to the prizes brought to this port the con- cerned have empowered others to defend their property, and of course no assistance of mine has been solicited, although I have seen many of them wrongly csnducted, and lost for want of proper judgment, yet I ! could do nothing.- Thus these evils will continue until the public is undeceived.— And let it be understo' d, that after a suit has been improperly commenced it is not an easy thing to prove the justice of it ; and the Consul being restrained from taking no- tice of it without authority from the own- ers, would render himself responsible for the Consequences. Besides thut, they ex- pose the public representative, as be is al- ways the last person they consult with after their affairs are embarrassed. I write this letter from Rota, where I came yesterday from Cadiz. I think pro- per to make to you this remark, as I do not wish it should be said I conceal my depar- ture, nor that I came here secretly. With- out any other tidings I pray God to keep you many years.
