FEDERAL GAZET i'E.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25.
The late foreign news, contained in the
preceding columns, claimed so much i
this evening's Gazette, that several couijju-
nications are omtted.
Communication,
Two gentlemen, wh s* names are left at
this office for the benefit of all persons con-
cerned, have authorised us to state, that
George Keatinge confessed in their presence
that he never did inform the commute that
he requested an indulgence o[a fe 1 minutes
to consult to counsel bef re his examination,
which the judge refused, as stated in the
report. On the contrary that the judge as-
sured him, that no improper quest ion, either
" offensive to his delicacy or his feelings."
shouid he put to him—and further that the
committee had made otiier inistatements in
their report which he caused to be rectified.
The Baltimore Volunteer Artillery Com-
pany, commanded by Capt. David Harris,
have tendered their services to the G vernor
as a part of the quota required by the Presi-
denl of the U. States, from the State of
Maryland.
From the Boston Palladium, Nov. 20.
Captain Crocker, of the Washington,
from London, favored us witha a faper of
the evening of Oct. 12, procured at Deal,
from which the following article is copied ;
London, Oct. 12.
AMERICA.
The most important matter, the question
of peace or war with America, is »iow de-
cided, as far as decision can take place in
this country. Our ministers have delivered
to Mr. Munroe and Mr. Pinckney their fi-
nal answer in regard to ail the leading
points of the depute. This answer is of a
nature on which it by no means tails within
the powers of the American envoys to de-
cide, and it now becomes their duty to sub-
mit the whole, in the speedicsts manner to
their government. Mr. Munroe is prepar-
ing for an early departure, but he has not
yet determined whether he will go out in the
I
V S. SENATE.
Committee Room, Nov. 13,
1837.
A bill making further appropriations for
»"he support of the navy of the United
States, during the year one thousand eight
Xiundred and seven, hath passed the house
of Representatives, and has been referred
«o a committee of the senate; who have di-
rected me to request information of y >u up-
on the following points :
Whether any part of the expences for
¦which this appropriation is m de, has bees
paid • and if so, froru what fund ? If n t,
¦whether the terms upon « hich the articks
were contracted for, were not more expen-
sive than they would have been for immediate
payment ?
What are the specific items, which are
already authorised by law, and what these
now to be authorised.
With sentiments of high respect.

Chairman of the committee.
Hon'ble Robert Smith,
Secretary of the Navy.
NAVY DEPARTMENT.
' 18th November, 1807,
Sir,
In answer to your letter of this day's date,
I have the honor to state.
1st. That it is imnossible at this time to
state oreciselv, what or portion of the ex-
traordinary e;pences incurred by the navy
department since trie 22d day of June last,
has been paid for, as all the accounts,of
?lie navy agents have not been received ; but
fr m a view f such accounts as have been
rendered and received, and of the rem it*»tj
ces made to the niy-nts the proportion of
extraordinary expences actually been paid
for is estimated at ah^iit 160,000 dollars,
¦which sum has been paid out of the appro-
priations made for fi" support n'the navy
for the year 1807, by act of congress, pass-
ed 7th Jamirry, 1807.
2d. that by the returns made, it does not
appear that the navy department has in any
instance paid more ore agreed to pay more
Shan the cash price fr any one of the arti-
cles constituting these extra irdinary expen-
ces ; but to enable the committee to form
for themselves a satisfactory opinion upon
this point, I take the liberty of sub.
witting to their considerati >n the accom-
panying, paper, marked A. which is an ex
hibit of the prices given at different periods,
far cannon, saltpetre, powder, shot, cop-
per &c. which are the principal articles of
the extraordinary expenses.
3d. That nine of the articles purchased
and stated in the estimate as constituting the
extraordinary expences of the navy depart-
Au.'ustus or the Revenge- The latter, it
seems, is a most pitiful vessel, destitute of
all convenient accommodations, and unfit
for a winter passage.
The intention of a general blockade of
the enemie's port is said to be relinquished
from an apprehension that it would injure
the import of our manufactures into the
cntinent. The American merchants in-
fer from this circumstance, and irom the
condescending manner of his majesty, when
Mr. Monroe had his audience of leave, that
the chances were in favor ol peace. No-
thing, however can be affirmed with confi-
dence until the disposition of the executive
and of congress be explicitly ascertained.—
Government have determined to recall Mr.
Erskiue and t<> send out a ne* ambassador;
but 011 whom this important choice will tall
is not yet known with certainty.'
We published in yesterday's Gazette, an
extract of a letter frtmi the Mayor of the
city, to Mr. Martin, late attorney gen. of the
state of Maryland : we now give the whole
letter-, from which the said extract was taken,
pteceeded by Mi. Manin's letter to the
Mayor, which occasioned it.
Baliimore, 17th Nov. 1807.
Dear Sir,
In the Whig of the 10th instant, I saw
an address from James liiays, to the public,
in which he states, that vou persuaded him
to giue bail, •' adding, that 111 your opinion
the Judge was doing wrong; that he was
proceeding too far, and that you had tried
to persuade him to act otherwise ; that you
held the conduct of those men, whose effigies
had been exhibited, in as great abhorrence as
did any of your fellow citizens, and had
often so dcclaied to your friends." That
Mr. Biays bad greatly misunderstood you,
it was impossible lor me to doubt ; as I was
conscious such declarations could not have
been made by you, consistent with those
principles of truth and honor, which I have
believed you to possess. A week hath now
passed away, and you have, to my astonish-
ment, been perfectly silent under the impu-
tation.
The persons whose Effigies were exhibited,
were Chief Justice Marshall, Aaron Burr,
Herman Blennerbassett, and myself. I feel
it, therefore, a sacred outy, after thus long
waiting ibr you .0 explain this business to
the world, to lequest of what conduct do
you know either of those four gentlemen to
have been guilty, for which they or either
of them ought to be abhorred by any honest
man in the community.
Flattering myself that your answer will
be satisfactory, for which I shall wait with
impatience, I in the mean time remain,
My dear sir,
Your obedient servant,
LUTHER MARTIN.

CONG RES-..
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
From our Correspondent.
Washington, November 24.

Mr. Kelly presented a petition from sun-
dry inhabitants of Gettysburg- (Pa.) pray-
ing the establishment of a p.ijt route from
FYedericktown (Md.) to run through Ha-
gers' Town to Gettysburg. Referred to the
committee on post offi es and post roads.
Mr. Mumford presented a memorial from
sundry merchants of New Fork, praying,
that vessels of foreign construction, which
are engaged in the whale trade, and owned
by citizens of the United States, may be
placed on the same footing; as other vessels
engaged in the same trade, with the excep
tion of rhe foreign tonnage duty. Referred
to the committee of commerce and manu-
factures.
Mr. rlount, from the committee appoint-
ed on the subject of aggressions committed
in our waters by foreign armed vessels*, &c.
made a further report in part. The commit-
tee re-commend the adoption of gunboats
and land batteries, as the most effectual me
thod of protecting our ports and harbors ;
ana enumerate the different places which
may be fortified and protected at a great as
well as at a small expence : among the for-
mer are, New rleans, Savannah, Charles-
ton, Wilmington Norfolk, Baltimore, Phi-

lis, >mloy, 1. ape Ann, Kennebeck, Da-

ftc. The report concludes with two reso-
lutions, recommendin, in substance, that
the president of the United States be author-
ised td cause to be erected such fortifications,
in addition to those heretofore erected, as,
with the assistance of gunboats, shall be
sufficient to preserve the respect due to the
constituted authorities of the nation, and
the appropriation of dollars for the
purpose ; and, secondly, the expediency of
also authorising the president to cause to be
built gunboats, for the protection of
our ports and harbors, and to arm, equip
and mnn'the same, and the appropriation of
dollars for the purpose. The report
was jordered to be printed, and referred to
