THURSDAY EVENING, July 6.
Estr;ift of a letter from General S , da
ted Baltimore, 4th of July, 1797, to a
Member of Congress.
Captain Sanger 12 days from Port-au-
Paix, arrived lad night ( fays, That Son
thos-U has ordered all captures and con
demnation of American property to cease,
in eonfequence as was reported of orders
from France.—He adds that two or three
American vessels lately taken were liberated
in conformity. Captain Sanger is a very
rtfpeclable man, and fays I may rely on the
truth of his account.
The folloivh'g papers were communicated to
both Houfis of Congress by a Mejfage from
the President, —July 3.
'tudhentic.
R. Lutok prdents his to Cel. Pickir
ing, Secretary of State
you firft mentioned to me the suspicions
cxpreHH by the Spnuiih Minister refpe&ing an ex
pedition fuppofeil to be preparlhg on the
with a view to arrack the Spanilh polls in Louisia
na, I took the liberty of observing to you, that I
had no knowledge ot fuch preparations, and
did not believe they exilted.
I have Cnce requeued information on the fußjcifl
from thfc Governor General of Canada and his
Majefly's Secretary of State,; and I have authnti
ty to allure you, that ne expedition of the nature
of that alluded to has been or is intended by the
British government. Indeed the impropriety of
violating the neutral territory of the United States
an objection of fuf&deat magnitude to induce
the King's Mmifters to reje£t,any fuck plan, were
itfuggeftedto them.
Philadelphia, 19th June, I jfj.
DETARTMENT.of STATE,
Philadelphia, July 1, 1797.
SIR,
\ our note of the 19th of"the last month, 1
alluding to the suspicions exprefled by the
( Spanilh minister, respecting an expedition
fuggglled to be preparing at the Lakes, a
gainst the Spanilh posts in Louisiana, I laid
before the President of the United States,
who received great fatisfa&ion from your
a durance that no such expedition has been
or is intended by the British government.
AVill you permit me to inquire whether
you can give any information concerning
sny other project of an expedition against
any part of the dominions of Spain adjacent
to the territory of the United States, where
or from whence any co-operation was con
templated ? lam aware of the delicacy of
this inquiry : but the franknefs of your ver
bal answer formerly relating 'to the alledgcd
expedition from Canada, and the assurances
in your note abovementioned, lead me to
hope that you will not deem the present in
improper, and the proofs you have
uniformly given of refpeft to the rights and
, interests of the United, States authorise the
further hope that you will feel yourfelf at
liberty to communicate any information you
pofiefs which on this occasion may concern
theirtrar.quility and welfare ; and I beg you
to be aflured that it is on this ground only
that I would make the inquiry. I will add,
however, that it is not the result offufpicion,
but of information, (in which your name is
introduced) that some projedt of the kind
has been contemplated, and that the' means
proposed for carrying it into execution
could not but be highly detfimental'to the
United States.
I have the honor to be, with great refpeft,
Sir,
Your mod obedient servant,
TIMOTHY PICKERING.
Robert Liston, Esq. •
envoy extraordinary &
minister plenipotentiary
of his Britannic majesty
to the United States.
R Liston presents his refpe&s to Colo
nel Pickering, Secretary of State.
I have had the honor of receiving your
letter of yellerday.
In the course qf lad winter some persons
did a&ually propose to me a plan for an at
tack on the Floridas and the other poffefii
ons of his Catholic Majesty adjoining to the
territories of the United States.
The general outline of the projeft was,
th"- the expedition (houldbe undertaken by
a British force sent by sea, and seconded by
a number of men resident within the limits
of the United States, who I was allured,
would be- willing to join the King's llandard,
if it were eredted on the Spanish territory.
I informed the proje&ors that I could not
give any encouragement to a plan of this na
ture ; and I particularly stated two objefti
011s to it—the impropriety of any measure
that tended to a violation of the neutrality 1
of the United States, and the inhumanity of
calling in the aid of the Indians, a circum
stance hinted at in thetonverfation that had
taken place 011 the fubjeft.
I conceived it to be my duty however to
mentiofi the business in my correfpondencc
with my superiors : and I lately received
an answer, acquainting me that his Majefr
ty's ministers did not thinkproperto give a
ny countenance to the projett. The two
objections above alluded to (which I had of
course infilled on in my report) are stated as
fuflkient reasons for its rejection.
You must fillow me, Sir, to decline en
tering into any further particulars. On the
one hand because, although I have all'along
lufpected that the persons, who proposed the
plan to me, might not improbably be em
ployed by the enemies of Great Britain, to
endeavor with sinister views to insinuate
themfeives into my confidence, yet as these
may be falfe, I should not be
juttified in betraying the secrets of men who •
ir.ay have meant me well: and on the other
tend, because however loose the principles
of tlie/e speculators may have been on the
fubjedt of the law s os nations (as it regards
the duties of neutrality) none of them in
their intcrcourfe with me ever expressed sen
timents that were in ar y degree hoftileto the
interests of the United States.
Philadelphia, 2d July.
Colonel King's Iron-zvoris,
April 21/, 1797.
DEAR CAREY,
I widled to have seen you, before I return
ed to Philadelphia; but lam obliged to re
turn to the .felTion of the Congress, which
commences on the 1 Jth May.
Among other things thai I wished to
have seen you about, was the business Cap
i tain Chediolm mentioned to the British
Minister last winter at Philadelphia.
I believe, but am not quite sure, that
' the plan then talked of will be attempted
this fall; and if it is attempted, it will be in
a much larger way than then talked of; and
1 if the Indians adl their part, I have no doubt
but it will succeed. A man ofconfeqiienee
has gone to England about the business,
and if*he makes arrangements as he expe&s,
I shall myfelf have a hand in the business,
and probably shall be at the'head of the bu
siness on the part of the British. You are,
however, to understand that it is not yet
quite certain that the plan will be attempt
ed; yet you will do well to keep things in
a proper train of J a£tion in cafe it should be
attempted, and to do so will require all your
management. I fay require all your ma
nagement, because you must take care, in
whatever you fay to Rogers, or any body
else, not to let the plan be difcov.red by
Hawkins, Dinfmore, and Byers, or any o
ther person in the interest of' the United
State 3 or Spain.
If I attempt this plan, I shall expert to
have you, and all my Indian country and
Indian friends with me; but you are now in
good business, I hope, and you are not to
rifle the loss of it by faying any thing that
will hurt you until you again hear from me.
Where Captain Chefholm is I do not know;
I left him in Philadelphia in March, and he
frequently visited the Minister, and spoke
upon the fubjert; but I believe he will go
into the Creek nation, by way of South
Carolina or Georgia. He gave out he was
going to England, but I did not believe
him. Among the things that you mayfafely
do, will be to keep up my eonfequence with
Watts, and the Creeks and Cherokees gen
erally, and yon must by no means fay any
thing in favour of Hawkins> but as often as
you can with fafety to yourfelf, you may
teach the Creeks to believe he is no better
than he should be. Any power or eonfe
quence he gets will be against our plan.
Perhaps Rogers, who has no office to
lose, is the belt man to give out talks against
Hawkins. Read the letter to Rogers, and
if you think it best to fend it to him, put a
wafer in it, and forward it to him by a fafe
hand, or perhaps you had best fend for him
to comt; to you, and speak to him yourfelf,
refpefting the state and profpert of things.
I have advised you in whatever ypu do
to take care of yourfelf. I have now to
tell you to take care of (Tie too, for a dis
covery of the plan would prevent the success,
and much injure all parties concerned. It
may be that the Commissioners may not run
the line as the Indians expeft, or w'ifh, and
in that rafit it is probable the Indians may
be taught to blame me for making the
Treaty.
To' such complaints against me, if such
there are, it may be said by ray friends, at
proper times and places, the Doublehead
confirmed the Treaty with the President, at
Philadelphia, and receives as much as 5000
dollars a year ta be paid to the nation over
and above the firft price: Indeed it may with
truth be said, that though 1 made the treaty,
that 1 made it by the inflru&ions of the Pre
sident, and in fart it may with truth be said,
1 hat I was by the President inrtruftad to pur
chase much more land than the Indians would
agree to fell. 'Ehis fort of talk will be throwing
all the blame off me, upon the late Piefiderit,
»nd as he is now out of ofiv.e, it will be ps
110 eonfequence how much the Indiavs blarre
him. And among ot her things that may be
said for ire, is, that I was ndt at the running
of the line, and that if 1 had been, it would
have been run more to their fatibfaAion. Jn
fliort, you understand the fubjert, and mitil
take care to pive.out the proper talks to keep
up my tenftquence with ihe Creeks aid
Cherokees. Can't Rogers contrive to get t' *
'Creeks ta desire the President to take Haw
kins out of the nation, for if he stays in the
Creek nation, and gets the good-will of '.he
nation, he can and will do great injury to
our plans. When you have read thi3 letter
over three times, then bum it. I lh*ll b<
it Knuxville in July or August, when 1 will
fend for Watts, and give him the yhifkey I
promised him, Sec.
WILLIAM BLOUNT.
The conduct of those Editors who have
designedly perverted the state of fatts in re
gard to the tranfartionsof the British Am
baflador relative to certain of the patriots
who had made treasonable proposals to him,
cannot be reprobated in language too se
vere. We publish this day an authentic
copy of every thing that has yet passed on
the fiibjeft. We shall offer r.o comments.
Our readers canhot fail to observe a most
striking aud honorable contrail when com
paring the tranfacHons of the British Mi- ]
niftei' and Government with the conduft of
another nation and its minister on a former j
occasion.
MR. FENNO,
There is a barefaced assertion in Bache's
paper of this day, purporting that the fait
tax was carried by the absence of certain
exclusive patriots. The truth is, when all 1
those patriots were present, a proposition to 1
impose thirteen cents per bushel was loft only
by two votes at the beginning of the feflion 1
—and at this time Meflrs. Sinnickfon,
Sewall and Bayard were absent. Again the I
> fame Bache imputes the parage o£ thi uamp
• act to the absence of members, and
> among otliersof Mr. Swanwick. The fadt
1 is, that S\vai:\»k\k was in favor of the bill,
at lead he has always said so. There "were
•- also abf:nt the following gentlemen, who
were in favor of the Kill ; viz. Me firs. Brad
huiy, Bullock, Chapman, Ege, Grove,
Imlay, and Kittera.

St. Mark, the id ulr with 16,000 men, but
were repulsed wiih thelofsof soot; killed. The
French had previously attacked and carried a
fort it a dlfhnee frefm the town, and put evtry
man («soin number) to the sword—there were
in the principal fort that guarded the place, but
300 men, who would have met the fame fate,
had it not happened luckily for them that two
frigates unexpefledly put into the harbour that
night, and made difpoGtions to flank, the French
on both fides, when they should attack the town.
At. the rising of th« modn the enemy marched
up to attack the fort, certain of as complete a
viiSlory as they had obtained the day before j
nor had they any knowledge of their danger,
until they found themfelvesweighed almost flank
and rear by the frigites, which opened a tre
mendous ami deadly fire upon them—and they
found themselves obliged to make a precipitate
retreat to save themselves from inevitable de
. flrn&ion. Cap- S. diftiniflly Jieird the firing
