Stephensianct. — No. II. 
143, not true—148, P. Molituno be¬ 
trayed his trust— 170 , not true—174, 
Capt. Foote's capitulation, though not 
approved, yet most religiously adhered 
to—178, capitulation not closed, but 
negociation broke off by Lord Nelson, 
who would allow the rebels no terras 
but unconditional submission, and this 
was regularly notified to the Cardinal, 
and he desired me to acquaint the re¬ 
bels of it. and this must have been done 
from the rebels coming out of the forts 
as prisoners, and not as soldiers. Sir 
A. Ball and Sir T. Trowbridge, were 
Nelson’s messengers to the Cardinal— 
182, 183, not a sentence of truth—201, 
not a word true about C. Trowbridge; 
he could receive no orders but from 
Lord N.—204, a Russian frigate met 
these vessels, and wished to act con¬ 
trary to the capitulation, but the Eng¬ 
lish would notsuffei it—206, protection 
not promised, except from murder— 
210, whatever Carraceioli had been, he 
fought against his King, and it is not 
pretended that he was in any capitula¬ 
tion. He was tried by aboard of Nea¬ 
politan officers, found guilty of rebel¬ 
lion, and hanged by order of Lord N., 
whose dear friend he had been.—Pages 
from 212 to 221, prove that the parties 
were rebels, and of course liable to 
suffer death—221, Circillo, strange to 
say, would not be saved; he refused 
Sir William and Lady H—n's entreaty 
on the quarter-deck <vf the Foudroyanf . 
When brought up for trial, and asked 
who he was ? answered, 44 in the reign of 
the tyrant, I was a physician; in the 
time of the republic, I was a patriot, 
and now I am a victim.” He made his 
application for mercy too late, or the 
queen would have begged his forfeited 
life of the king for the sake of his aged 
and good mother—22, if what Miss 
Williams says is true in this page, 
there' would require no other fact to 
* * * they all deserved death— 
317, Bonaparte would have been sent to 
Jaffa, not London, to answer for his 
murder of 4000 Turks, his prisoners. 
GENERAL WASHINGTON'S FATHER 
and MR. JEFFERSON. 
The following particulars 1 had from 
the Rev. Mr.-, of-, in America. 
who was well acquainted with Governor 
Jefferson, and had been actually at 
college with him. My authority for 
them is so good, that we may rely upon 
them. 
Mr. Washington’s father was a young 
Englishman, who had repaired to Arne* 
[Nov. 1, 
riea, and studied mathematics in Wil¬ 
liam and Mary College, in the then 
Colony of Virginia. Towards the 
latter end of his life, he purchased a 
tract of land in that portion of the pro¬ 
vince which constituted wliat was called 
the Back Settlements. So they were at 
that period, but such a difference has 
taken place, in consequence of the ex¬ 
tension of the Indian country, that they 
now form a part of the interior. To 
his house and plantations he gave the 
name of Monticello, or Little Mountain, 
and there he spent the remainder of his 
days. 
Colonel Wakefield says, that the 
Washington family emigrated from 
Thorn, in the neighbourhood of Don¬ 
caster, in Yorkshire ; and I understand 
that traces of them are preserved in the 
church-yard, in the monumental form. 
Young Jefferson was a hoy on the 
demise of his father, whose moral and 
religious principles, with the arrange¬ 
ments and pursuits he engaged in as a 
man of business, had rendered him re¬ 
spectable. During a long minority, the 
neighbourhood becoming more exten¬ 
sive and populous, from numerous fa¬ 
milies removing thither, his property 
kept pace with the improvements and 
advantages resulting therefrom ;-so that 
on his attaining (he age of 21, he was 
considered as one of the most opulent 
of the Virginians. 
It would be a curious speculation to 
trace the extraordinary effects some¬ 
times produced by education—to dis¬ 
cuss the point of doctrine, how far 
principles early instilled, become pre¬ 
judices—how far opinions and conduct 
depend on those who have the charge 
of tuition—of preparing an exordium 
—a fit foundation for the great struc¬ 
ture. Man. Leaving this induction to 
the philosopher’s judgment, it is suffi¬ 
cient if T state that young Jefferson's 
tutor happened to be a French Hugue¬ 
not, who having suffered injuries and 
insults, grave and pointed, as the vic¬ 
tim of arbitrary power, had conceived 
the most determined antipathy to 
kingly government. Placed under this 
man, whose example and reasonings 
were more forcible than his authority, 
the political morals of the youth cor¬ 
responded with the means of his educa¬ 
tion, and he became, in doctrine and 
theory, with scarcely the exception of a 
feature, a staunch republican. 
When the unhappy contest took place 
with our colonies, Mr. Jefferson carried 
his early principles into practice, de¬ 
claring
