lived like a hermit, has buried himself
alive. Hedtighisown grave some month#

to<o and see the grave ; but the impres

satisfied. Last week, however, a gentle
man who was shooting near the spot, who
hadeeen the grave before, went a second
time ni order to show it to a irieiid, but,
tothcir greet surprise, they found the man
dead in it, wrapped, in a bUukct, with his

The following article is copied from th*
last New-York Mercantile Advertiser,
and exhibits a further illustration of that
juetice and friendehift, which we have so
long experienced from the French govern
ment >—
•• Nxw-Yoax, February 16.
Th* Two Generals arrived here yes
terday from Liverpool, spoke close in, th*
brig Ann, of Beverly, 46 days from Ton
ningen, bound to Norfolk, the captain of
which informed, that previous to hit leaving
Tonning**, Me fovernntent had anted and
eonfiacated all American.veeecU and pro
perty that had arrived ajler a certain
date**
The New-York Gaaette states the ar
ticle thus“ That all American property
k at Tonningen would be confiscated after a
certain date.”
Since the receipt of the above, we have
been favoured with the following extracts
of letters frdm an American gentleman in
London, dated December 4, 1809
“ 1 have just received a letter from one
of the first houses in Paris, advising—that
there remained no doubt, but the tempora
ry indulgencie*. which bad been allowed
neutrals at Naples, Civita Vechia, and
particular!}' Tonningen, would be with
drawn ; and that the system of prohibition
would be extended to every fiort.’**
“ Another letter, received from Rotter
dam, and dated November 10, says—That
news was received that day, .from Paris,
stating, that order* had been sent from
Paris to Tonningen, to shut the port against
American vessels.”
We have averred that our democrats
wish to establish a monarchy in the United
States, and a mass of facts lie* before us I
in confirmation of this assertion. From the
time Out the constitution of this country I
ha* been ertaWbUft Ulthfavery hour, they |
have maintained against that instrument
the most deadly and irjrsGoncileabte hosti- 1
Uty, Not satisfied with exerting every |
artifice to prevent its pdoptioa, scarcely I
had its auspicious ere commenced before |
their hatred broke out in tdmults and in
surrection* against government. .Never I
let it be forgotten that a rebellion was fo
mented In tli* west, and in which Mr. Gal
latin, our present Secretary of the Trea
sury, was an agent. The name of Wash
ington was then our bulwark of safety,
and nothing but his popularity at that time
prevented the effusion of American blood.
Discomfited, but not disheartened, and find
ing by experience that the great mass of I
the people would not brook overt hostility
to government, they resorted to other ar-J
tifices more dangerous, because more con
cealed, and poisoned the minds of the com- I
muqjty by false and unfounded alarms.— I
They raised th* cry of monarchy against
Washington and hi* friends, irritated the
too sensible jealousies of their countrymen I
until they boldly professed themselves the I
exclusive friends of that constitution which
they had raised an insurrection to over- I
turn. All this was done under French
patronage and encouragement. Genet, the
French Minister in this country, was in
strumental in promoting such oppositiem
tn government, and boldly denouncing our
Chief Magistrate, Washington, to the
nation. When heaven deprived this country
of that tower of strength, his enemies be
came Still a*ore bold and enterprising, aod 1
were swore opdn In their attempts to aaao
ciate the destinies of Americh with those
of France. Th* present degraded condi- ;
tton of the country will shew with how
much success they have advanced in the
prosecution of their favourite object. Let
u* not forget that in the outset of this strug
gle, France was, or at least professed tn
be, a republick. Afterward* Bonaparte by
making use of his own popularity for his
own aggrandisement, usurped the crown
of th* Bourbons, and now reign* tbe dicta
tor of enslaved and insulted Europe. One
would suppose that when the jacobins of
this country had laboured with such assi
duity to establish an altiaoc* between this
country and France, on the pretext that
France was a republick, they would from
* regard to consistency and their own pro
fessed principle* abate the ardour of their
exertions now, when every trace of republi
canism isbanished and discarded from that
countryl But we know Isttl* of the nature

trick was played off on another coal-seller
on Monday or Tuesday > last, In a different
part of the town. The villain agreed to
take as many baskets as amounted to a dol
lar ; presented a three dollar bill, and re
ceived two in good money, directing the mar
to deliver the coal at an house, td which he
directed him, at seme distance. On arriving
there, he was told there must be some mis-
' take, as they had apt purchased any. Oa ek- |
amination, it proved that the bill was Coun
terfoil. Emboldened, no doubt, by success
’ in these fawsanSfor.en sTpiwpnsmt was made
on Thursday last on another coalman, Mt f
liepkiea Randall, ef hcitmjfc. He took a
counterfeit three dollar bbl of Bristol bank,
gave two dollars in change, and ws» «h
-reeled to carry the coal to a shop not far
off, where he was told, as in the other cases,
they had not purchased any; but that it
was probable he was Cheated, as two such
instances had lately happened. The bill
was examined, and proved bad, the people
in’ the neighbourhood felt immediately in
terested to discover the man who had so
successfully imposed on an industrious and
unsuspecting person; being fully confident
from the similarity of the three different
cheats, that they were all performed by
the same villain. Randall described part
of his dress, and suspicion immediately
rested on Tmomas P. Hkaiy, who kept

Savannah, February 1.
We published in our last paper, Captain
Kuhn's report on his arrival at Charleston,
of 20 French passengers having been taken |
from on board his schooner, the Hope, (no
doubt much against their inclination,) on
their voyage to this place, by the schooner
Amiable—Some may think it strange, but
we do not think it very surprising, that
Captain Kuhn should have made no report
of the circumstances, on his arrival here.
The Amiable, a large, fast-sailing pita
boat schooner, arrived here about the 3d ot
last month, and was reported as in distress,
having on board, as we have understood,
a crew of 19 men; conjecture was imme
diately afloat, a* to her intentions and des
tination j after setting up her rigging, 4
carronade guns, with all the necessary im
plements, shot, Kc. were purchased under
the declared intention of carrying them in
her hold, for the purpose of sale; a num
ber of men were shipped, and she the*'
proceeded to sea, mounted her guns, hav
ing segmented her crew to 60 or 70 men.
and has since hovered off our bar, gives

stands off the next morning. For two or
three days past a great noise has been
made of sending a sufficient force to take
her, but, like the energies generally dis
played here, it has ended in smoke. We
will conclude this article by remarking,
that there is .9 doubt of a main-boom hav
ing been sent down to her, in the beginning
of the week, and of other good citisens ut
this place being concerned b other sup
plies with which she had been furnished.
