The fame' Paper continues to Rate, on the authority of Capt.

He then moved for the projunion of an Account of the Otr.flentling Exchequer Bills,' &c. at curtain period, about the beEinning of the late %Vat, and the left year ; which were ordered to be laid before the Houk.

American papers up to the tsth of January hare arrived. They bri.ig no iotelligence from St. Domingo of which we were not already in poffeflion. They comfit m, however, what has been Rated, ref - peeling the fitvcurablt afpen which the accellion of Ro c Has MAU to the Cli;rl Command has given to the French cattle. At Port Republicain, where the Negroes were in the greatea force, the reinforce. ments from France had enabled the Georral ccm• manding in that quarter to refume offentive ore rations. A number of engagements had taken place, and It the time to which the latch accounts reach, which is about the miJdle of December, the inhabitants of the town conlidered themeelves in a are of perfea fecurity. On the fubjesi of the (hutting of the port of New Orleans, nothing new is Rated in thefe papers. — Every Aft of Conies, however, proves that it will be confidercd in the molt ferivus manner, anJ that the Americans will be fatisfied with notking (bort of an unconditional revocation of the order authorizing the (hutting of the port. In the Houle of Reprefentatives a Motion was made on the sth of January, the objefl of which was to call on di- Prefident to produce all docu ments in his poffeflion relative to the ceffion of Louifiana to France. This motion gave tife to a vcry warm debate, but it was ultimately carried on a divifion, in which the numbers were very nearly balanced. Though the difpute with the Spanifh Govern ment at N -Ar Orleans at prefent appears to engrofs the attention of the American Legiflature, it is evident that the ceffion of Louifiana to France is not contemplated without a great degree ofjealoufy. •I'he American Government fees clearly that this meafttre will introeluce a very important change into its relations with France, and the Members of Con• grefs difcover a very commendable anxiety that the nature of there relations fhould at the cutlet be fpecifically defined. The fuhjed has been referred to a Committee, and a full Report will be exhibit ed to Congrefs, and will form the fubjed of future dilcuflion. In the fpeech of the Prefident at the opening of Congrefs, it will be recollefted that the commer cial fyftern purfued by this country was mentioned in terms of high approbation. The modification of the counter-vailing duties was mentioned as a regulation peculiarly calculated to give new facili ties to trade. From the Report of the Chamber of Commerce in Philadelphia, it does not appear that this meafure has been received fo favourably as was expeCted. In this Report it is indeed ex prefaly complained of, as giving to the trade t. f this country advantages againa which the Ame ricans could not contend with any profpat of fuc cefs.—This fubjeCt is to undergo more minute con federation.

" If we were difpnfed to enter into a Paper XV,”. with 7,e .1/olliteur, we know no topic on rhich we fhi7uld more readily have taken up the gauntlet than that of ou.. Finance. In truth, the extrav a . gaol and foolith :reticle, which lately Appeared m that Paper, on thi, interefting us a temptation whiLli was aimort Pr.t the very circiinittanet which made it fn teniptin;: 'an objea of di:Cutlion, determine.] us to a,11 4 ;„ from noticing it. Every line of it carried with it its own refutation. It was neither ingenious fal lacy, or plautible mifreprefentation ; but direCt faliehood throughout. Not a tingle flatement in it, but what the melt friperficial proficient In the Rudy of Finance could readily refute, wi:11....t affularice. o What mil h.:ve been the 01,j,:a of th e p er . I fon who deliberately drew up t..r the French Gazette this notable Patement is another queftion. The fair prefumption is, that it originated from , the fame matterly head, which not long ago pre. tented to Ent ripe, in the fame paper, C. fl ittering an account of the slate of the French Revenue.--. Was the motive of the well informed, intelligens, and dilinterelled writer of it to depreciate our Funds, and I to rail thole of his own country ? On ours it could have no poffible operation, except by the impreflion which it might make on the opinion s of farci b ners, who had been in the habit of confi. dering British Security the bell in the world ; for we will not libel one individual amongft cur Countrymen, by loppoling that a flatement, how. ever fpecious it might have been, from fuch a guar. ter, could on his underftanding have produced the fmallell effed. The prefent (late of our own Funds, however, is pretty conclufive that they are proof againft any fuch ridiculous and childilh at. tempts; and if thofe of our neighbours have a more favourable appearance than they have had for time time pall, we fee no reafon to be impreff. ed, either with envy or jealoufy, let the caufe of their improvement he what it may. Thefe carnal obfervations might lead us, were we inclined to purfue the theme, into fnme more general obfervations on the uniform tenor of the language of the French Official Paper, almoft ever fines the Definitive Treaty of Peace was figned. That many of our Journals have regularly indulg ed themfelves in afperity, hoftility, and even per tonality towards the French Government, is per. fealy true. But is it poffible that that Govern ' ment can be ignorant, that the Editor of a Brains Journal is free to exprefs whatever opinions he may entertain, provided he keeps within fuch bounds as the Laws have prefcribed to him ; to which only he is refpnnfible, and to which alone he is under controul ? If we have (with the exception only of the events in Switzerland) abftained from giving vent to fenfations which many circumftapees have excited in us, we own that we have been retrain ed only by confederations of prudence and proprie ty. But, without jullifying the exceffes into wUch Come of our cotemporaries have been betrayed,we cannot be infenfible to the abundant provocation which the infulting language of the French Ofßeial Journal has repeatedly, and almolt uniformly, furnifited them with. Polfibly we may be fingular in thinking, that, however it may have been sal. culated to excite in the brealt of every Englillx man diffatisfadion and difgult, it has experienced more public notice than it was perhaps entitled to. When we fee Mr. WINDIIIII4 and Lord Gato rs:As (whole politics we are the lag to admire). l and even the great Minißer, the qualities of whofix heart and head are equally noble and tranfcendent. charged with deliberate affalfination, our natures revolt from a calumny of fo foul and diabolical a complexion. Where, unlefs in the cells of the molt relentlefs bigotry, does human nature itfelf afford the grounds of Co balk and detellable a Bander?— And this is a charge not made once, but Teems to be the favourite topic of the French Gazette. We will not !loop to retort by Cuppofing it credible, 1 that thole who bring forward this chafe , have ' confulted their own breath to dircover pollibi. lity of any thing Co atrocious entering into the mind of man. On this ground Mr. WINDHAM, againli whom it has been more fpecially directed. Bull ever find in us as (hardy champions, as in any of his profeffcd adulators. He has nothing to thank us for. To him, in 'fact, it is no compli, ment.—lt is not even the jullification of our coun try—but of mankind ;dell. 4. When the fword was fheathed, we had flat tered ourielves that the hoQile fpirit with which the two great rival Countries had long been inflamed againi each other, would be Theatbed alto. If it has been Rudiougy cheated, and even fuel ince, faintly furnifhed to fan the flame, who will prefume to fay, that Great Baitain, as a Nation, or as a Go vernment, has fet the example? The language of a fmall Party is not that of a great Country.—The fame difpofition,both in the People and their Rulers, which pointed towards the return of Peace, could not fail to he accompanied by a with to preferve it. AVith this with the prefervation of nxtional animo fity was incompatible. We are pet feellyfatisfied,that ' when the Olive Branch was mutually exchanged. the univerfal fentiment of our countrymen was-- 1 " Forgive and forget." If our neighbours have not thought proper to fympathire in this pacific fentiment, the blame can hardly be laid to the door of a Government, which took the earlia oppor tunity of reßoring to us the bleffings of Peace.— . Theft bleffings will probably Rill be preferved. notwithflanding the rude tune of authorized publi cation& It would be well. hon ever, for their Editors to recollea, that in proportion as their efforts are calculated to excite a hollile mind to wards Great Britain, by miliitprefentations and • cAlumiiies, on one fade of the water. they cannot fail to produce as indignant and cordial unanimity .on the other.
