" Extraft from an old sianufcript" we
difcem at once is from a refpe&able source.
As a refpedtable and ufclul produ&ion we
will readily insert it. The author is very
accurate in his political second fight and has
no resemblance either to Gad*ury or Par
tridge.
A wholeforrie moral elLy, on the misap
plication of talents, (hall appear. It is plea
i'ant to hear the foft voice of a Female M<*r

ambition to rejeft maddening draughts, and
to quaff the purer " waters of Siloam,
which (low foftly."
Various communications from New-Jer
sey (hall be attended to. Personal and pri
vate anecdotes, ancLambiguous danders must
be avoided. Some of the Burlington county
writers perhaps are only venting pri-vate
fplecn in attacking a political adverf.iry—
It is requested, in the language of the Br rich,
that no one wander from the point and that
the gist of the argument be closely in fifed
on. Whether their Cent, be a weak or wife
Lawyer, whether his Mayoralty be splendid,
like that of Whittingtok, or factious
like that of Bfckfokd is quite irrelevant
to the controversy.
We are told from authority which it is
believed may be relied upon, that the result
of the ele&ions in :he~State of Maryland, is
not in fatt, to he enrfidered as the preva
lence of anti-federalism ; but an expression
of the public sentiment in favour of the e
ledion of Electors by the people, and that
by Diftri&s.
TO YHI
Editor of the Gazette of tbt United States.
IN your late piper several attempts have
been made to ridicule the talents, and a&ions
of General Bloomfield, and to injure his pri
vate charadler, Any publicataions relative
to the political principles, and conduit of
this Gentleman, would no' be confidere'd im
proper, especially at this time ; hut such as
have 110 relation to these fubjedls, ought to
be luppretled and discountenanced as having
a tendency to create distrust, and diflentions
in society, rather than to correft errors in
morals, relig on < r politics. The anonymou*
publications in your paper of Thurldiy lift,
are of such anaure, that General Bloom
field will not, and ought not to notice them.
Considerations however which impose silence
on him, do not prevent his friends from
declaring these publications fcandalons, and
falfe. The truth of this declaration will
appear by the certificates hereto annexed,
which you are rcquelled to publish in your
next paper. The firll, given by Chief
Justice Kinfey proves the General's refpe&a
bility, and praftice as a Lawyer. The fe
cowd given by men well acquainted with
the fafts mentioned in their certificates,
proves that he was not concerned either in
building the Hall of the City of Burlington,
or in making the Inscription in front of it.

To h's Excellency Sir Richard Bickerton
Bart. Rear Admiral of th* Blues, and
Commander of his Britannic Majefty'i
forces before Cadiz.
Cadiz, 13 h Ju'y, 1800.
SJR,
We, the undersigned neutral Consuls re-
Cdent in this city, excited by that zeal
which we owe to our fellow citizens on the
proteftion of their rights of neutrality, do
now (in conformity with a resolution ligni-
Sed to our refpc&ivc governments) tak& the
liberty to represent to your excellency, that,
in the blockade of this port, which took
place in the year 1797, by his Britannic Ma.*
jelly's fleet under the command of the right
houorable Earl St Vincent, and latterly re
newed by the declaration of his excellency
Lord Keith, permillion was freely granted
that those veflels with their cargoes, which
appeared to be aftually and bona fideneatral
property, might fail fronj hence in every fej
curity, and we have uniformly furnifhed such.
vefTels with certificates under our consular
seals which have hitherto served the end of
securing them from interruption.
We now learn that your excellency has
given orders to the commanders of the feve-
rs! (hips of your fqnadron to capture and de
tain for adjudication all vefTels, without
diftindion, that may attempt entering or
failing out of the ports of Cadiz and St. Lu
car, to the manifeft and ferioua prejudice of
the trade and commerce of our refpeftive
nations, aftully in peace and amity with
Great Britain* wrhidi wfti be telt with ag
gravated force in as much as the precited
indulgence granted by Lord St. Vincent,
might reasonably be supposed to exist, while
it was not pointedly rescinded by the decla
ration of hie excellency Lord Keith, which
ftatej the present blockade to be only con
tinuance of that which had taken place id
the year 1797-
We find, however with infinite regret
that in opposition to the system hitherto
praclifed, almost all the neutral veflels that
failed from this port in the latl momh and
present, have been captured and sent into
British ports under such circumftano/e of ri
gorous procedure as infpircs just motives of
anxiety for the fecurty of the several re
maining veflcls of our refpeftive nations now
in this bay, the Major part of whieh enter
ed in ballast, 3c the others with cargoes of
of neutral property without meeting any
force off this port to obftruft their entry.
May we, therefore reqneftofyour exeel
ency that on due refle&ions of these citcum
ftances which we expose in favor of the vef
fcls now in loading here you will be pleased
te fay, whether they will be fuffered to pro
ceed to their refpe&ive destinies with the
cargoes they are now employed in taking on
board, which cenfift a&ually of neutral pro
perty, the returns for con fignments made
hither ; ex luding from any favourable con
ctlfion you may make such vefTtls as have
'oeen duly notified not to c'.er these ports ;
!or in c;;te vowr excel ency may nit judge it
convenient to favor this our pretention, you
will be so good as to fay with what degree
of fecuritv the veflels in question may pro
ceed from hence in ballall with Lit or oih
ei wile.
With the view of obtaining ycur Excel
lency's fentimrnts in reply to these points,
we dispatch the bearer of the present, under
I
