etc& ewe* doles We wilt to get rid of than, basset they intereft the Way of our neighbours. Europe is a great fa mily, every part of which is bound by the laws adopted for the conferratioo of the whok (nothing tan be more juft in principle., Every nation, to be lure, has the right, in its internal admini ftration, to do whatever it judges neeeffary for its interefle agreeably to the principles of the majority of men of whom it is compofed. But, if by there medures It tends to trouble the peat— nr to change the hate of other nations, thofe other rationo late - zited in their own confervrion may call that a • ato —count for a eonduet which beomes prejudicia to tem. Hu a man, toufetbe expedite cola modern writer the horrible right to inoculate banter with the plague ? Can a trim then, which, in relation to otherii, may be likened to an individual, have the right to featter among its neighbours a prin ciple of corragion equally expnifive in its nature, rapid in it costrtunication, and difaftrous in its aids p Doubtlefs we were very far from thefe magi= when the law of the ad Pluviofe year a, was pared. At that time, however, the Republic thought of nothing but defending 'tier, and when they con pared its ruin, could It think of the confervation of its enemies ? Now when the fury of war has given place to facial ideal; now when Trance is replaced with honour in her Ration in the family Of Europe, file ought to refurne the family feeling, and as much as Des in her power, make her inftitutions coincide with thole ce.° ether nations, in order to maintain that harmony of principle which tends to preferve focieties. and to perpetuate that peace fo needfary to the happinefs of all nations. Some of thefe fentiments in their generality, we are very far from difapproving. No nation that thinks of living well with others can negleft them. At the fame time the duties refulting from them are like the correfponding clafs of duties among individuals, vague in their application and imper lea in their fanetions. We Ihould not have exiled ed, however, to find them applied to the Slave Trade! A mighty fine illuftration of the principles of facial order to which the French have returned! But this is not all, Monfieur Mar.'s principle gives France a right to call to to account, if we venture to abolifh the Slave Trade; fo that the patrons of the Slave Trade have nothing more to I do than to get M. Otto to forbid any thing like the abolition. This family relion thus becomes pretty complicated. What a pity that Boma- PARTE was not toner let up in trade! We beg Mr. Wisst itiOaCit, Mr. Pt Tr; and other enemies of the Slave Trade to confider Monfieur Aner's argument. The French rffsais the Slave Trade becaufe we have Iv it up; and no doubt this complaifance muft bind us not to lay it down for fear of treesthieg upon the facial maxims and the family feeling: of our new friends. We with the fupporters of the Slave Trade much joy of their new allies 1 The Mayors of one or two towns and villages have written to the Government, that the people feise with alacrity the opportunity ofchoofing &- PAPA RTII for life.

When the Chefterfield packet (which has jut arrived at Falmouth) left Jamaica, very unfa vourable accounts were in circulation, concerning the French expedition at St. Domingo: the French army, it was Paid, were much reduced by the cli mate, and the pi edatory warfare carried on by the blacks, who keep the French conflantly on the alert: it was alfo fated, that unlefs very confide table reinforcements were rtceived, the expedition was not expo red to end favourably for the French.

FALSE ACCUSATION.' An affidavit, of which the following is the fub (lance, taken on Saturday, at Portfmouth, by Sir JOHN CARTER, is a Itriking infiance how ertremey cautious courts of jutlice ought to be in convieting a prifoner on the e'idence of an accomplice : " Richard Forth, a convidt on board the Captivity hulk in Portfinouth harbour, an his oath faith, that in May, Eliot : he got into the hook of Farmer Hoghon, at Cippu , near Ferry Bridge, and Role (nary ßridge, ankles of w, ;ring apparel, Re. and that no perfon was with him when he committed the robbery , but being informed that if he would give evidence againft ac complices, it would Live Hostel& he wax tempted to charge Jolbua Smith with being concerned, and on his d. politica the raid Smith was convided and tranfported as the &Mons of I.eeds in Yorkthire ; that on the Bth day of October following this deponent was tried at the Paid fefflons for another felony, and tranfported for (even years, and brought on board the Cap tivity hulk, where Smith he had fo wrongfully and wickedly secured wan alfo a convict, and he now moft folemnly declares that Smith is entirely innocent of the crime he was convidtcd of, and for which he is now fofferiog a moft revere punigunent." WEST INDIES.—The following are extraas of letters brought by the LIR Mail : KINGSTON, ST. VINCENT'S, MARCH learn by letters from Martinico, 'that the ifland of Sc. Croix was evacuated by the Britifh forces, and given up to the Daneson the tsth ult. St. Tho mas's was furrendered on the isoth. Two compa. nies of the tit Well India Regiment, under the command of Capt. Ilaaucurox, were lansled here lan Friday. Mitten ao.—A gentleman who arrived from Martinique a few days ranee, informs us that the Britifh troops, on quitting St. Thomas's, were in. (tilted by the lower orders of the people ; in con &pence of which the crew of a frigate landed and broke open every houfe that had a flag flying.— This caufed firth confternation throughout the town,_ that the Governor fent a polite meflitge to the Commander of the frigate, requefling him to exert his influence with the crew, and perfuade them to re-embark. BASSETERRE, APRIL t.—A confiderable flock of an earthquake was felt here on Sunday morning lag, about two o'clock. By his Majefly's (hip GAITIE, Capt. Barons, which arrived here from Martinique on Friday laft, we learn, that the Tam, WINCIIP.LSIA, and DRYAD, had arrived there from England with the 58th regiment. ST. Dosttmao.—We have received New York Papers of the 13th April. We do not find any confirmation of the fevere aBion (laced in the laft accounts through America to have taken place, unlefs the affair at Crataporo was that alluded to. The accounts received from St. Domingo at Bal. timore, were of the 27th of March from Port Re publicain. They are as follows : " The French are in quiet polliffion of all the fea ports of the Couch part, but the Brigands oc cupy moft of the interior of the north part. Go. neral Lacr.stc has juft taken poffeffion of a very ftrong fortified pofition near St. Marks, called Cratoporo. This was taken by form, and a large party of blacks taken, and, it is (aid, put to the bayonet. Generals TOUSSAINT and Dassaumsa made their efcape, and have fled to the mountains. Many of the white troops were wounded. The blacks are deferting TOUSSAINT. and giving them. (elves up to the whites. The num►rer of blacks in revolt is not known." Eztraa of a Letter from Cape Francois, dated 22d. received at Philadelphia In a few days there fails a fquadron of French (hips of war for the United States. This morning there were received three letters from Toussaisr, one for the General in Chief, one for General Boy sa, and one for the Municipality, advifing the inhabitants and government to remove and em bark their perfons, and property in eight days, or at the end of that term he would come into the city and maffacre every white man ,&c. in it." It appears that the American (hips at Cape Fran cois meet with the moft fcandalous and vexatious treatment from the French Agents. Mr. TOBIAS LIAR, the American liefident, has prefented a ftrong remonftrance aainft thefe proceedings.— He hates that the (ma ll quantity of American pro. perty on board (hips on the arrival of the French, WAS fold to them at their own price and terms ; and this they fuhmitted to only on the emergency of the cafe. But it is (aid that dill American veldt are not allowed to land their cargoes and fell them to whom they pleafe, while French vet fels have that liberty. The immenfe lots and in convenience to American merchants from (ales to Government, at t4th call] and the reft bills, on France, is grievoufly complained of, and that too on the price which the French fiz. The delays in the cuftom-boufe are alto flared. It Rates that the Americans loft 2t20,000 dollars by the horning of the Cape. The remontirance concludes with fay ing, that unlefs thefe complaints are redretfed it will be impoffible for the Americans to catry on any trade with St. Domingo. The New York Commercial Advertifer of the toth April (Lacs as follows :••••• " By the letters lately received from Cape Fran cois, we are now enabled to form a pretty cm•rea idea of the treatment which Americans receive and may weft from LECLERC and his myrini• dons. The American vellels which he found there on his arrival, he immediately embargoes —crews, boats and wails, he puts in a (late of requifition at pleafure, without paying a tingle lons in compen fation. Flour, for which the inhabitants were willing to pay 16 dollars a barrel, the French au thorities feize and convert to their own ufe, pay ing at the rate of 12 dollars a barrel, 1.4. th only in ca(h, other 3-4ths in bills on France, which can no where be fold even at a difcount of 5o per cent. One unfortunate American (Mr. Low) had the folly to truft French Officers with a depollt of 23,000 dollars, confiding in Gallic faith. Delu five confidence 1 Whenhe afics again for his own, for his all, he is denied to be the owner—he offers the moft convincing proofs—they are reje&ed. In confequence of which be buries his forrows and defpair in a watery grave." It appears that the Federal intereft has recovered in America fince the lay elation'. By the state of the votes for Governor of Maffachufets, the Federal Candidate Mr. &motto, has 12,689 votes GRAIN 403. The latter was choice lait year by s e majority. .
