    JONATHAN ROBdIMS.
Daring the !afl winter and the following
fpri'ng, the affair of Jona batt Robbing the
pirate and m- r-Jcrer, excited a considerable
degree of coi.vcrfatisn in private circles, and
the public 1 trind was constantly agitated by
the lies daily published in the Aurora and
other Jacobin French Gazettes of this coun
try. Our readers will recolleft that in or
der to convince the peop'e of America that
Robbius was not a naiive of the tows of
Banbury, in Coanedicut, a certificate was pro
cured from the Sele&nen of that tawn, de
claring that no such name as Robbins could
be found upon the Records of jDaabwy,
which certificate was published in this Ga
zette, ; this, with the confe£fii>n of the
Murderer at the place of execution, that he
was an Irishman, was fatisfa&ory and con
clufivc with every man not blinded by
party. But the Jacobins w-cre not to be
liaggered with fads; they dill harped
upon the old key to a new tune ;-fr
some months they pnrfued their usual
system, one day by dark intiendos and base
infinuatiou, and then by bold and lying af
lertjons ; at last, after frequent mention of
fomej" important la&s refpefling that un
fortunate citizen," forth come the following
Aurora Remarks and subsequent Letter.
From the Aurora cf June the 20th.
JONATHAN ROBBINS.
During the late session of Cong re f» we
were promised some fadts concerning this un
fortunate citizen ; and we hr.ped to have had
them in time for the tlifculfion upon Mr.
Livingston's motion. We were difappoint
t<4 then. We have been more fuccefsful
fine-, and lhall now lay before our readers
the Information we have obta ned literally,
as we Wave obtained it, in a letter addressed
by a gentleman residing at Danbury to the
Editor of. the Aurora.
In the view of nationalindependence—is
it relates to our ch.uatVr as a nation—as it
relates to the charatter auE independence of
our jtidiciary, it is a matter of utter infigni
ficance, whether Jonathan Robbins wag a
native of the Irish bog; or of the rouyh de
clivities of Conne£licut. Judge Bee himfrlf
declared at much from the bench ; but he
declared it in a sense dilferent from what we
cqpeeive to be the law of the land or the law
of nations. Judge Bee according to the re
port published averted that it made no dif
ference whether Robbins was a British fub
jfft or an American cirizen, the treaty com
prehended both descriptions, and he was de
livered up. We conceive that having a law
paramount to every treaty, that is the great
charter of the Federal Constitution, to de
liver hi™ up, was
t. As a citizen, contrary to the Consti
tution.
2. A* charged with the crime of piracy
on the high fcas, over which the jurifdiftion
of all nations is common,' it was a violation
of law and jtiftice.
5. Tit.it it was a violation of the confli
tution to deliver him up without the infjueft
cf a jury.
The priucipal ground of defence set up to
just ty the interference of our Executive
(and »iii* appeais to have been Pickering's
aft t'olely) was thai R bbins was an alien
f">rn ; and the prejudices of the public were
called forth to palliate and mitigate the dil
gr ce of the aft, unrierthis black fubteifuge
6f iiihmninity. It Is well worthy of con
federation, however, with what nice sympa
thy in crimes and maxims o| government the
angle-Jcderi'.ists and their Brititti friends a
£tre. It -xr-rs a fufricirnt palliation of dis
grace to fay Jonathan Hobbios, was a feign
ed name, and that in truth his name was
Thortias Naih a native of Waterford ! It
is remarkable that an Englifliman was ac
quitted ot' murder at Waterford in lieli/nd,
under the Btitilh government, and upon this
plea, the acculrd eonlcfled that he hud killed
the man, but alhdged that it'was not mur
der becauie he was a mere liilhn.an. The
Hottentots are \is b'arbafOUs than such ci
vilized favagitsj
Public weuknel'siaving tolerated in some
meature, at least by its futien fitence, the de
. livery of this juifortunate man into the talons
cf the Britiih, it became a matter of some
moment, todifcover the validity and autho
rity which the certificates procured trom Dan
bury, by the immediate application if Mr.
Pickering carried with then'.
The certificates of the Sch ftmen ftatcd
that they cauld find 110 such name as Jona
than RtbSint. on the records of Danbury.
The public will be surprized to find this
{aft literally truf, and yet covering a molt
g/ofs deception.
The reordt of Danbury were burnt along
v>itb the town by the Eruisb during our re-
Tolutictiary war.

that the barbarity of the British soldiery du
jifljj o'ur war with then), has bfen acolfavy
to t'rie murder at thfc dillance of twenty
jeurs J
The Sttpftmen Ijkenvife aflVrted that they
4id not rememb'-r, any family of the name
of Rojftiins in Danbury. The matter has
paffad before the public and the fele&men
have recovered theiroiefljories, ard they have
aftually found a faioity of that name, nay
mare a brother of Jonathan Robiius living
uithin a few miles of that town, liead the

" 1 lie delivery-op oi Jonathan Rabbins,
under the 27th article ot the Britilh treaty
C°r the " furtherance. ot justice" cannot
with all its palliation, be palatable to our ci
tizens. On the liibjedt of the cert ficates
frcra this town, 1 wish to make a few ob
servations. Ihe gentlemen who wrote those
certificates are, I believe, men et commcil
honfefty ; they are so refuted here, bt;; al
fure your lei I they are party-men In the
hrfl place, the records of this town were
bu- nt with tilt? town in the time of the hft
war. It is not difficult to suppose a man
might forget the record of a p . lon whom
he could not have thought of in twenty
years, when the records where his name muif
have been depolited, had been reduced to alh
es for that length of time, still less is the dif
ficulty in conceiving that he might be bom
I ere, but ntz'er recorded. There'is no im
pelfibihty nor improbability, that he belong
ed to an obfeure family, then fcaicely kn»wn,
and now, long (ince forgotten. Our Select
men have certified that they never knew a
person by that name relidiug in this town
f<»r any length of time, but fhey now ac
knowledge a person bj the n.:me of Robbins,
©nee laboured somewhere i(l this neighbour
hood, wbofe age would not altogether dis
agree with that of Jonathan Robojns the
Pirate ! But the,-following is an important
ind an aftonifliing faff, a fadl which non
pluflcd many of our certifier s, and which w is
related to me by orte of the number. On
making enquiry, after the receipt of the
Secretary's request, th y found that h person
of the name cf Robbins was then rrfiding ; n
the boundaries of Mew-Fork state, but near
those oftlis town. This peif.n they visited,
and the information they obtained was, " that
he once had a brother by the name of Jona
than Robbins, that he had been absent fume
years, and he concluded dead, as he had not
heard from him for a great length- of time t
that he believed if his brother was alive, he
was about thirry-thrre years, old !
[Thus terminated the letter received by
the Aurora man, and the reader (hall soon
learn by whom it was composed. A more
a-tful written letter, or a more v'llaincus
attempt to miflrad the People of Ame
rica, and to destroy all c nfidence in the
integrity of Government, was nevtr en
gendered even in the wicked brain of s Ja
cobin. The atithor of the above infernal
letter, which went to wound the peace of
three of our most worthy patriots, the Pre
fidtnt, Timothy Pickering', and Judge Bee,
was one Samuel Morse, publifliet of a
Jacobin paper in Danbury, to whom Duane
wrote on the fubjeft, and received tie above
in reply. Whether the ghost of Robbins
haunted this man, or whether the stings of
guilty conscience has worked repentance,for
the diabolical attempt to injure three vittu
ous men and to deceive his ftlh.w citizen ,
we will not 'pretend to fay, but certain
it is, that he has endeavoured to expiate
his foul crime by the following recan ation,
which seems te partake of contrition for the
horrid act. 3

Danbury, August 15 1800.
TO THE PUBLIC
Since writing my observations con
tained in a letter to the editor of the
Aurora, dated the ift, and republifhed
in my paper No 4 —and the address to
the gentlemen of the town of Danburv,
who signed the certificate, concerning
Jonathan Robbins, I have become con
vinced, from futher examination of the
that the said Jonathan Robbins
was not a native of this town, nor ever
resided here—and that the gentleman
who so certified were not onlj honest
and candid in giving such certificate,
but certified the truth. The said publica
ations in the aforefaid papers must there
fore be considered as erroneous and in
correct:.
My intention in publishing the obser
vation in the aforefaid papers were not to
reflect on the characters of those gentle
men who certified, bat the inaccuracies
therein contained originated from mis
take,
SAMUEL MORSE.
Those Printers in the United States
who have printed the aforefaid publica
tions are .requested to piibl'iih the
above.
[There is an infernal scheme laid open
to foil view—lf the Jacobin printers, and
tliofe whobclieved them,have the mod distant
conception of honesty or ju(lice, they
will ceale tlitir clamours, and never mare
open their lipsagainil men whom chey have
so deeply injured.]

" Lall Saturday died at his house near
Sydney, in this island David Mathews, Elq.
formerly Mayor of the city of New York,
and late attorney general of this island.
His death appears to have been the effeft
of a broken spirit, occasioned by the many
unjull fuffcrings which lie has sustained du
ring the lad twelve months. No;withftand
ing the opprelfrve means taken \o depreci
ate his virtue and his charafter, bis memory
will ever beiheld dear and much refpedted by
all who had the happiness of his acquaint
ance. He was a most cheerful and intlrudl
ive companion, a sincere and faithful friend,
and a moll tender and alFrdlionate confert :
he was charitable, humane and hospitable
to a fault. If he had any foibles (and few
men are without them) they were the off
fpring of a candid and openness of manners,
and a liberal unfufpefting disposition : his
judgment was clear and accurate in the ad
mil iilration of the laws and conflitution of
the British Colonies. He had tefided sis
teen years in this island highly and justly es

even the Indians attended andexpreffed their

Ability lamented the death of their common
