whilst I was extremely desirous that ht
should do so himself., The points ot
difference appear to he these: Gov. Gile
states that the disclosures of the "trea
sonable views, " entertained by the lead
ers of the federal party, wers made by
INIr. Adams personally to himself and
Mr. Jefferson in the winter of 1S07-S;
Mr. Adams ass'orls that they were made
by letter to Gov. Giles and several oth
ers, during ihe subsequent session of
Congress, and probably by them com
municated to Mr. Jefferson. . The sub
stance is the same, and we regard that
instead of the shadow. We have it now
affirmed, in "black and white," by John
Quincy Adams, President of the United
States, that in 180S the object of the
leaders of the federal party in Massa
chusetts "was and had been for seve
ral years, a dissolution of the Union,
and the establishinent of a separate
Confederation:" In 1514, when we
were at war with Great Britain, in a let
ter to Leavitt. Harris, Mr. Adams de
clared that "half the nation iverc sold
by their prejudice and their ignorance
to the enemy:" thus not only charging
the leaders, but the whol body of the
federalists with "treasonable views," at
two distinct periods. We wait with
anxiety to see the result of thii new dis
closure. Th3 following extract embra
ces the substance of Mr. Adams' crplct
7 a I ion:
"The interview to which Mr.
Jefferson alludes, took place on
the 15th nf March, 1308, penclinrr
the embargo; but, at the session of
Congress before the substitution
tor it of the non-intercourse ?sct.
The information, given by Mr.
Adams to Mr. Jefferson, had on
ly an indirect reference even to
the embargo, and none to any en
deavors for obtaining its repeal.
It was the substance of a letter
from the Governor of Nova Sco
tia, to a person in the state of
Massachusetts, written in the sum
mer of 1307, and before the ex
istence of the embargo; which let
ter Mr. Adams had seen. It had
been shown to him without any
injunction of secrecy, and he be
trayed no confidence in communi
cating its purport to Mr. Jeffer
son. Its object was to counte
nance and accredit a calumny
then extensively prevailing among
the enemies of Mr. Jefferson and
the opponents of his Administra
tion, that he and his measures
were subservient to France; and
it alleged that the British Govern
ment were informed of a plan, de
termined upon by France, to ef
fect the conquest of the British
provinces on this Continent, and
a revolution in the government of
the United States, as means to
which they were first to produce
war between the United States
and England. From the fact that
the Governor of Nova Scotia had
written such a letter to an indi
. vidual in Massachusetts, connect
! od with other facts, and with the
movements of the party then pre
dominant in that State, Mr. Ad
orns and Mr. Jefferson drew their
inferences, which subsequent e-
vents doiibtI,3sg confirmed: but
j winch inferences neither Mr. Jef-
j lorso nor Mr- Adams communi
cated to each othor. Thia m

J
Virginia which request is the
only intervention of Mr. Giles,
ever known to Mr. Adams, be
tween him and Mr. Jefferson. It
is therefore not surprising, that
no such intervention occurred to
the recollection of Mr. Jefferson,
in December, 1825.
"This interview was in March,
1808. In May, of the same year,
Mr. Adams resigned his scat in
the Senate of the U. S.
"At the next session of Con
gress, which commenced in Nov.
1808, Mr. Adams was a private ci
tizen, residing at Boston. The
embargo was still in force; opera
ting with extreme pressure upon
the interests of the people, and
was wielded as a most effective
instrument, by the party prevail
ing in the State, against the ad
ministration of Mr. Jefferson.
The people were constantly insti
gated to forcible resistance against
it; and juries after juries acquit
ted the violators of it, upon the
ground that it was unconstitution
al, assumed in the face of a sol
emn decision of the District Court
of the United States. A separa
tion of the Union was openly sti
mulated in the public prints, and
a Convention of Delegates of the!
IVcw-England States to meet at:
New-Haven, was intended and;
proposed.
"Air. Giles, and several other:
members of Congress, during this
session, wrote to Mr. Adams con-:
fidentiai letters, informing him of
the various measures proposed as
reinforcements or substitutes for
the embargo, and soliciting his
opinions upon the subject, lie
answered those letters with frank
ness, and in confidence, lie ear
nestly recommended the substitu
tion of the non-intercourse for the
embargo; and in mvinjj his rea
sons tor this preference, was ne
cessarily led to enlarge upon the
views and purposes of certain
leaders of the party which had
the management of the Stale Le
gislature in their hands. He ur
ged that a continuance of the em
bargo much longer would certain-'
ly be met by forcible resistance,!
supported by the Legislature, and
probably by the Judiciary ot ihe
State. That to quell that resist
ance, if force should be resorted
to by the Government it would
produce a civil war; and that in
that event, lie had no doubt the
leaders of the party would secure
the co-operation with them of
Great Britain. That their object
icas, and had been for several
years, a dissolution of the Union,
and the establishment of a sepa
rate Confederation, he knew from
unequivocal evidence, although
not proveable in a Court of Law;
and that, in the case of a civil
war, the aid of Great Britain to
effect that purpose would be as
surely resorted to, as it would be
indispensably necessary to the
design."

Newbern, Oct. 25.- The Supe
rior Court for this county has
been in session during this week
His 11 onor James Martin presid
ing. In an action alleging brea
ches of the covenants in a deed, a
very interesting and important
question arose, how far the rivers
and their tributaries in this part
of the state, are to be considered
'navigable waters.' It seems, and
his Honor so charged, that a creek
issuing in Trent river about three
miles above this place, varying
from 100 to 50 yards in width,
with an average depth of six feet,
not affected by the regular tides,
but ebbing and flowing by the
same influences which affect the
river, is a 'navigable water course,'
and consequently cannot be made
the subject nf private property.
Whereupon the Supreme Court
having the matters before them
by 'habeas corpus' adjudged that
he ought not to be put upon his
trial again that it would be jeo
pardizing his life twice for the
same offence, which is forbidden
by the Constitution; and by their
fiat for that purpose ordered him
to be bailed. Spec.
