kt-n, and ail. this for. fearof creating ill-found
ed 'ftifpicions in your minds !
If you have not .been very fuccefsful Sir,
in the foliditv of your reasonings, you ap
pear not to be more so in the method offol
• '-lowing tli, m. After having denounced us
to th& whole Ameiican nation as stirring np
the Indians against the United States, and
iH-eparjng them for a rttpture, vo\x fall into the
most glaring inconsistency in the following
paragraph i
Whrtl >er this flan of exciting the Indians to I
direst hoJMites againff the United States, has
lien contemplated audpromoted by any cf rnr
otvn ciiizen t, ti may be difficult to fay ; . but
that one or more of thof eitivns have proposed
and take n meaftires to detach the Southern Indi
ans from tie interefls of the United States, and
to dejlrby the influence of the public agents, over
those nations, and thus to defeat the great ob
jefts of their appointment, the chief of which is
toprefefvi peate, it certain.
t again appeal here, Sir, to your gene
rous candor. How is it possible to reconcile
such evident contradictions ? On the one
hand the Spanish officers are those vvho ex- 1 "
cite the Southern Indians against the United
States, and"on the other you quickly fol
low presuming, with fufficient foundation
in my opinion, that jt may be some citizens
of the United States. But although you
might entertain any doubts yourfelf ojj the
fubje&, which I am sure no person in Ame
rica will after reading Mr. Blount's letter,
did not this very fame doubtful cafe and un
certainty, require in your situation more cir
eumfpect language ? And if even in this cafe
you appear to have gone beyond what found
policy, the tranquility and iptereft of the
United Stases required how much more tui
jtrft are your infinuationsagainft Spain,when
the public possess, in Mr. Blount's letter,
a document bywhich they can fee, that if
the manoeuvres Vith the Indians were .not
favourable to the United States, they were
precisely combined to attack the Spaniards ?
From this method of reasoning 0/ yours, it
appear-, as if the Spaniards were jointly with
Mr. Blount, stirring up the Indians to at
' tack thtmfelveS.
Refpefting the laftarticle of your report,
I have only to obfervr, that although you
have constantly allured me that government
had not the lead information refpefting the
fubjeft ofmy representations, and although
letter of Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, ap
pears to coincide with your ideas, neverthe
less time has shewn that I have
with my duty by not reposing on sue& assu
rances. The plot is discovered, apJ nobody
any. longer doubts that the ejyxsdition was
to have taken plate.
After having followci you step by
step through tlie vad'ous points of your
report to tfte Prefidrtf, I shall make a short
compendium of fiich as arise from this let
ter) from which it-results.
1. That on the 27 th of February, I gave
you fufficient particulars refpedting the in
tended expedition, to have attracted the at
tention. of tbj6 government.
2. That although to tbi» verbal commu
nication, I added another in writing on the
2d of March, the President had not the
least knowledge of it ori the 9th of the fame
month, and that without doubt yon must
have had very powerful motives to prevent
you fitom communicating it tcf him
3. That it does not appear by the docu
ments presented by the Secretary of War,
that Government had given orders to the
military commanders to cause the, territory
and neutrality of the United States 'to be
refpeCted.
4. That you made to the English Mini
ster a communication, which in my opinion
you ought not, and that even if you thought
it neceflkry, yoil delayed doing it for tw°
months, that is, from the 27th of Febryiry. 1
to the 28th of April,although it refpiaed 1
a most urgent and important objeCt.. <
5. That the Baron de Corondejet could i
very well have received my letters, without <
its necessarily following that W» had come
to hand.
6. That the Baron did not represent Mr.
Eilicott's not writing to Wm officially as a
complaint, but as an olfer*<Qtiox[) and that in
faft he never has done it in those terms.
7. That the proof l , you alledge to excul
pate Mr. Ellicott, 'refpefting his intentions
of taking the For; of Natchez by surprize, (
are purely
8. That & not merely pretences, but ve
ry reafotis, which have impeded f
the °f the Posts, and the rnn- s
hing offihe Boundary Line. ( r
9. yhat the infiniiations with which you a
iK wiHing to persuade the American Peo-
pie ,that our arming is direAed against them, .
are unjust as well as unfounded, as by Mr. £
Blount's letter it is clearly demonstrated to 0
be a precaution for the mere purpose of de- y
fence. v
10. That ybu evidently contradict your- t
felf, when on one hand you are pleased to
attribute to us the movements of the Indi- f
ans, and in the Very next paragraph you
shew it might proceed from American citi
zens, as it aftually does according to Mr.
Blount's letter; and that he aCted with the
knowledge and intelligence of the very fame t ,
British Minister, in whose private notes, q
•without signature, and perhaps not of his hand
writing, yoil place such implicit confidence.
u. That although in all your official
communications, you have always manifefted
to me-that the American government knew
of nothing which indicated any foundation
for my fufpicioas, Mr. Blount's letter clear-
ly proves that I was perfectly iu the right.
I have thus fulfilled a very disagreeable
duty. Always desirous to contribute to
ftrenghen the bands of friendfhip which unite ai
Spain and America, and to which their tc
situation, their wants and resources, inyite "J
them, I have seen with' the rr.oif profound
grief, that the language and tenor of your
/ communication to the President, is not, in tl
ftrv opinion, calculated to prpmote so defi- vc

w The last accounts fratm the Mediterrane
e an, are greatly afflictive to the American
i merchants and public. The depredations
f on our commerce there, have a [turned'd new
degree of turpitude and audacity. < The
1 laws of nations, the rights of treaties, and
, every principle of juilice, good faith, and
f humanity, are violated and prostrated
t without remorse, and without shame. By
; 'the arrivals since our last, and by recent let
? ten, we have accounts of the capture and
t condemnation of many American vessels by
1 the French and Spanish, eyefc when bound
- to and from Spanish ports, and4»den whol
ly, with Spanish and American produce, and
, bona fide owned" by citizens of tK« United
1 v ..
t The pretences for these condemnations
t are filfe most frivolous,arbitrary, and unjust;
1 tie wayt of papers, unknown to the Ame
. I'ican laws, and customs, is made the pre.
tenctf in some instances—the pofTeflion of
I the fame pajpers is made the cause of con
• demnation in others. If the right of pro
• perty is precarious, the veflel and cargo is
; sequestered—is proved American property,
it is condemned as such. .No claim is al
■ lowed—no argument admitted—the French
• consular juriidiCtion is supreme, in Spain ;
and its decrees, fike the ancient, but left ar
bitrary laws of the Medes and Persians, are
irrevocable. The Captains of American
• vessels at Alicant, have been told by U»e
French Consul there, that although the vei-':
fel and cargo should be known to be Ame
rican ; ana although he should be fatisfied
that they were bound direCt from Spain to
the United States, if captured and
brought in, he should instantly condemn
them»-and his threat has in rtiany instances
been fulfifled." Such being the.fituatton of
the Captains charged with American vefTels
in Spainj they were ncceflitated to apply»to
the British Admiral at Gibraltar, and re
quefl'from him a convoy to protedl them
from the piracies of a nation with whom the

You no doubt must have been a fpcCtator
of my capture off your harbour, in coirfpany
with capt. Crust, in the Pomona, captain
Atwood in the Abigail, and capt. Muck

only knows. Your presence here may he
of service to us, and I most earnestly request
you to proceed to this place, if your health
will admit, immediately after the receipt of
this letter ; I do not yet know that I shall
be permitted to fend it, if possible, I shall
forward it tte express.

NEW CAUSES OF JVAR t! I
FROM THE . AURORA.
From the following extradl of a letter from
Paris, to the Editor, a hint may be ta-
Icen by our .administration, on informa
tion more to be depended on, prdbably,
than that usually- communicated to them
by their agents in Europe. If they
chufe to improve the hint, they are wel
come to it. At any rate it may serve to
warn the citizens in America as to what
they are to txpeft in consequence of the
perfidious coiiduft of their public servants
towards France; and also the (hare which
papers in the interests of the ad
ministration here, have had in fomen
ting the discontents of France to this .
country.
The letter not of a very recent date, but
• it is from a good quarter.
" I read the other day a piece in the Ga
zette of the.United States, which proves,
tjiat your government dill encourages abuse
against this county, Among other
of stupid malignity, of which the article
was made up, it was said, that our national
institute, was not equal to the academy of
Princeton ; and that we were a people of
rascals and atheists. I know not whether
your government believes it a means of rcflor
iqg harmony to authorise as much as in them
lies, inveSives, fufh as our enemies alone dare
utter, by encouraging the papers containing
them} and thus actually paying for insulting
the republic. I cannot conceive what the
federal government would be at; but of this
I am convinced that they are facrificing, as
they have been doing all along, since the be
gining of this war, your plainest interests.
They (till exhibit the fame ignorance of*our

resources, the fame wafit Of forefight, as to
* the inevitable result Of the present holtilitiss;
They are blincUo the" power of France, and
J will not fee how greatly that power has |n

, War vf'ith you, but your abandonment of the
1 principles of the n:\dern l&iv of nations by a
' formal treaty,has indifpofedus much ;it has exci
{ ted a mixture of contempt and indignation.
, "Commoo report informs us that Mr.
[ Hamilton it soon to ufhcT into light a pro
! ~duftion,-of which he has been laying the
! foundation since 1783 ,and of which Pacificus
and Camillns have been but trifling speci
mens. [We imagine the allulion is to
Pickering's letter to Pinckney.J He is to
prove in it tliat the alliance between France
I and America, has been a dark ccrnfpiracy'
from the begining; (George the third, was
of this opinion also, and on this account
Lawrence was confined in the- tower, which.
; he would have left for the fcaffold, if Olter
ior events had not favoured him) that none
' but rascals can be the partisans of that alii
' ance; that the condudl held towards France
| was flich as they should have expected; and
that this republic of scoundrels ftouldj be
sent a packing, and a close linion should
take place with England; that the execu
tive diredory are a set of fools, and will be
too lucky if they are fufferred to gain the
good graces of the new allies by condef
eentiofl.
" I wilh Mr. Hamilton much fatisfaflion
and t® his readers the greatest pleasure ; in
the meail time we (hall set about soundly
beating our enemies in Europe,""as 3 ' pre

and then we (hall turn gur attention to the
conduft of your government. We (hall fee
whether they Will persist in tTieir departure
from the principles,of the modern law of nations
—if they do, the lucrative commerce they have
•with our islands, Iforefie will be cutoff."
The only thing worth notice in the- fore
going article, is the modify and decency at
the introduction. It is a (ample of that hi
folence which vve (hould fatally experience,
were the hopes of the nefarious atheistical
1 faction to be realized, who, are now busHy
i employed in fabricating lies and danders
against our government. It is a direct at
tack 011 the freedom of th£ press ; for-.it
ought never to be forgotten, that the freeft
and most pointed remarks on the Frerfch re
volution, which have appeared fn the ga
zettes of this country, were copied from
French papers, publifhed in Paris.
Bache fays " the letter is not of a very re
cent date, but it is from a good- quarter,"
and is from " information more to be de
pended on, [by our administration] proba
bly, than that usually communicated to tliem
by thieir agents in Europe." Our agents in
Europe are known, our governraent.pub*
lifhes their information wrth their names,

ADMIRAL JERFIS'S FLEET.

Spanijh Minijler of Marine,
relative to the affion let-ween the Britijh and

the I 4th February lafl.
(From the Madrid Gazette )
CADIZ, March 2.
" As soon as the English fleet was discover
ed, I ordered the" squadron under my com
mand to form itfelf into a line of battle ; but
the (hips El Principe, Le Regla and L'Ori
ente remained so much to the leeward ae to
be unable to form the line, without running
the rifle of being cut off by the eqemy, who
made up to waids us in good order, and erow
ding fail, as much as possible. I stationed
them oh the rear of the line, exceptihe L'
Orietite.with remained to the leeward flf the
enemy. •
" The firing began at three quarters after
ten o'clock, A. Mrbetween the firft Ihip of
our rear which preceded La Santissima Trina
ad' so that tke centre and the van took no
part in the action
" At this period I made figrial to the van
to tack about, to make up to the enemy ;
but mod of the {hips being not able to hear
my orders, I considered the loss of .£/Prin
cipe, Le Regla, and the reft of the tear -guard,
certain.
" In another movement, which I ordered
to double, and bring into afttion the combat
with the centre and the advanced guard, the
Santissima Trinidad came astern, and within
musket-shot of the enemy's line, ar,d sustained
the whole of their fire.
" When the headmost Ihip of the Englilh
had patTed through our rear, they tacked a
bout : five or fix .other (hips did the fame,
doubled us,, and prefrnted themselves on the
other tack, keeping up a most vigorous fire.
Having forefeen this manoeuvre from the be
ginning of ihe adtion, I ga*e orderj to the
headmost (hips to wear to the leeward of the
enemy's rear-guard ; Sc had this been practica
ble, the enemy would have been between two
fires. .
