If Mr. Kitchiehad said that this unfortunate
prince had fled to England as an assylum
from despot's fury, there would have been
some truth in the observation. The editor
of a servile Paris Journal would not thus

the reproach of even Bonaparte's courtiers,

It has been mentioned, that Messrs.
Gould Brothers & Co, had left Lisbon with
the English merchants. Their friends in
this country are informed, that in a letter of
the 24 Oct. to a gentleman in this town,
they observe. " A* most of the English

To the hdi.'or of the Federal (iazt itc.
Sir,
As gun boats appear to be the only means
about to oe adopted by government for our
defence incase of war with .France or Eng-
land, I beg leave, through lh( medium #f
yo.it useful paper, to ricom end the ad-
vantage of adding wheels to thVm, bv which
means they will become a fcind of amphibi-
ous maeiine. capable of a ting ai a " move-
able force" eit ler on " the water" or on
land. The advantages that will arise from
this improvement mint be so obvious, that
I think it will require but little argument to
make itiem appear plain to the meanest ca
pacity. Let us suppose we had stationed at
our fort, the whole number of bo.it: as con
strutted at present, that are intended for the
defence ot all the sea ports belonging to the
United States, and suppose a fleet of ten
ships of the line, with transports, should
enter the Bay with a design to destroy our
city, every body knows it wou.d be impos-
sible for them to com* up the river, there
Th^s"th^inVthe «w proband} j not being a sufficient depth of water ; wd
where it should not be, fur certainly it is j if it were possible, it would be absurd to
much more essy for an American ciliaen to , suppose they would attempt it, when eve-
prove in his own country that he is a citizen, ry m\ie ol shore from the Capes up affords
fhan for a foreign officer in this c .runny t, J them-a landing where there is neither fort
nor gun boat to molest them. Having then
made good their landing of a large army,
Supplied with a numerous train of artillery,
what then, let me ask, would be our situa
tion ? Our gun boats, on which we relied
for safety are useless ; we have no artillery
to meet them in the open field ; no wall to
retreat behind; and I may add, no,hope
left but the mercy of our en«stv It is
Surely no treason to say, that a militia,
unarmed and undisciplined are unlit lo meet
a veteran army, trained to war, and wall
prove that he is not an American eitizen,
Proofs of the birth of a foreign seamen can- 1
jl't be obtained without much difficulty and '
delay ; therefore the government cannot in ;
rea.-en demand that a register of birth smmld i
be produced. The circumstance ot enlist- j
meut, description • f the person, and the |
seaman's own acknowledgement, might ei- j
tiler of them satisfy, because it has already
been observed, nothing is more easy than for
a man in his own Country to prove his birth.
But these weighty considerations are
strengthened by facts that prove the assert i> ! _ ______________________
on of the National Intelligencer to be with- j supplied with all the means'of destruction
out foundation in truth.
The well known affair of the desertion
from the Melampus and Halifax, need not
be again stated, but we assert that the fol-
lowing seaman were demanded and were not
surrendered by our government. John Lit-
tle deserted from the Mfclanjpus, Richard
Herbert, Henry Saunders, Jenkin R.itSord,
George North and William Hill, from the
Halifax.. With these last five, a full des-
cription of them'accompanied the demand,
nor did they ever alledge that they were ci-
tizens.
When these men were demanded of the
civil authority of this place, the mayor with
prop«r caution, advised with counsel learned
in the law ; the question submitted was this,
¦* can a magistrate of this commonwealth,
cau'ie to be brought before him, and order to
ienjyth stricken with poverty, ant! thinly
peopled, and with ut the interposition of
some aid of this kind, can never grow in-
to use, or become of general extensive uti-
lity or convenience. Your committee beg
leave to observe, that roads in all countries
necessarily become an object of great nati-
onal concern—they are of the highest gene-
ral importance, and in many instances can-
net be perfected without the aid of govern-
ment, and hence whenever a nation turns
its attention tovards internal improvements,
roads become an object of primary conside-
ration, and in truth no great or valuable
improvements can go on without them.
In proportion as your roads are improved, so
do ethers of a different kind Start up, and
keep pace with them, wealth and commerce'
spread into the remotest corners, and the
most distant parts feel themselves brought
as it were so much the nearer the market, as
the ease and convenience of getting there is
increased from the goodness of your roads,
The road under consideration becomes par-
ticularly interesting in these points of view,
and moreover claims your attention as fur-
nishing a complete line of communication
from the centre of the United States, at
Washington city, into the very heart of the
western country, and without this a blank
or chasm will be left, that will materially
obstruct the trade of the state, and prevent
it deiiving those advantages from its inter-
course with the United States, which its
situation from nature, and its high cohse.
qnence as a commercial state so justly enti-
tled it to. Without the improvement we
recommend, waggons and other heavy car-
nages will be cut oil' from the benefit they
ought to derive from the turnpike of the
Uni'ed States, leading them into Maryland,
ani must necessarily take a direction either
into Pennsylvania 01 some of the neighbor-
ing states Under these opinions your com-
mit, ee beg leave to submit the following
re- lui ion :
Resolved, That the court of Alleghany
county be and they are hereby authorised
and required to appoint two 01 mote persons
with authorily and directions to examine
and locate the road from Hancock to Cum-
berland laying off the same on the nearest,
most direct, and practicable ground, and
return the plot of the same to be recorded
in Alleghany county ; and the said court is
heiebv autnonsed to contract with some
person or persons, (takiufl bond with secu-
rity for due performance) for the expending,
in such m-iHiier as the court shall direct,
and to the best advantage in opening and
making pas-.able >atd road, the sura of aooo
dollars which said sum the treasurer of the
western shore is directed and required to
pay to the order or orders of said court out
of any unappropriated money m the treasu-
ry ;—and the levy court of Allrofiany coun-
ty, are hereby authorised topay the expense
attending the laying ff said riad, and da-
mages clone to property done within their
own county, to be estimated in the usual
way.
