From ST. DOMINGO.
An arrival at Philadelphia, from St.
Domingo, has brought letters and ac
counts down to the 24th March. They
Rate that the war between the French
troops, and the blacks, was not so near
ly at a close as the accounts circulated
throughout the V. States by French a
gents have represented :—That Touif
fajnt appeared determined to die in the
last ditch :—That Leclerc had loft, in
the several fkirmiffies with the blacks,
and by sickness, 8000 ofhrs men ; and
that he had sent Jerome Bonaparte to
Franceto solicit reinforcements:—That
the war was carried on with great loss
to the French, in consequence of the
Blacks being acquainted with all the
pases of the country ; and that Chris
tophe, (who it appears has not been
captured as reported) had lately prac
tifed a ruffe de guerre on 'the main body
of the French army, got into its rear,
cut off 200 of the French soldiers, and
captured their artillery :=-That the
consequence of these manouvres is, the
towns are in a continual Rate of alarffi,
in expectation of the depredatory excur
sions of the enraged blacks :—That sev
eral of the b\ackCofepclitans,as they are
called, had been captured, and execut
ed ; but have exhibited a thorough
contempt ofdeath, menacing their exe
cutioners with the threat, "that it will
be their turn next." —That Gen. Touif
faint had issued a proclamation in the
manner of Leclerc's ; declaring the
French to be outlaws ; that he defied all
tire force that could be sent against him
'by France ; that he would speedily com
pel the French to abandon the island;
and that his troops had sworn to live free'
or die :— -and that seven men of war
were entering the port of Cape Francois
when the accounts came away.
These accounts further state, that the
citizens of the United States are treat
ed with every mark of contempt, oblo
quy 'and tyranny in St. Domingo :—-
That they are denominated Arabs, and
that they were the 66 rougb-fcruff of the
earth." The objed appeared to be, to
provoke the American government in
to a var. In confirmation of the above,
a gentleman yesterday favored us with
the following extract of a letter, dated
“ Cape-Fiancoif, 23d March, 1802.
" On no account make shipments to
this place. The government, (if such
it may be called) is tlte most capricious,
^equivocating, ill-natured and vindictive
set of knaves that ever were cloathed
with authority. They will do every
thing to cheat you.
“Touiffaint is gaining ground ; and
it 'is matter of doubt who will ultimate
ly succeed.
" Agents have gone to the United
States to* encourage the Shipment of
lumber, provisions, &c. Do not depend
upon them." — "
MORE SQUALLY APPEARANCE
On the 0h inst. Mr, Giles, in the
debate on the repairs of the Berceau,
said, " That any fentible man would
not need a minute's reflection to con
vince him that there can be no fympa-
there on his arrival, he immediately
embargoes—crews, boats and Vessels,
he puts into regulation at pleasure, with
out paying one sous in compensation
for their services or use.—Flour, which
the inhabitants were willing to purchase
at 16 dollars per bbl. the French autho
rities seize, and convert to their own
use— at the rate of 12 dolls per bbl.—
one fourth only in cadi, the other three
fourths in bills on France,which can no
where be fold,even at a difeount of fopr.
c?nt. One unfortunate American* had
the folly to trust French officers with a
deposit of 23,000d15. confiding in gallic
faith —Delnlive confidence ! when he
asks again fonhis own—for his all —he
is denied to be the owner :—he offers
the most convincing proofs—they are
rejeded. Deprefled by his loss, and
Hill more by the disappointment of his
trufi in national honor, exigence becomes
a burden—and he buries his forrows—
with his person—in a watery grave.
Unhappy Low! Americans, while they
regret thy hard fate, will not cease to
execrate the rapacity and injustice
which occasioned it.
An avenging providence will pursue the
guilty authors of thy death. The pestilence that
walketh in darkneß," and the bayonets of men,
fighting in defence of their personal freedom &
national independence, will permit but few of
those opprelTors of mankind, to revisit their na
tive land, furchatged with the spoils of violated
neutrality, or of Subjugated valor,
*Mr.Low.
_Q
By the letters lately received from
Cape-Francois, we are enabled to form
a pretty corred idea of the treatment
which Americans receive and may ex
pect from Leclerc and his myrmidons.
The American vessels which he found
they are either ftot or put to the sword,
and then tumbled in ; the flench arif
mg from this uncovered grave, is ex
tremely offenfive for three miles round.
The Blacks massacre the whites where
ever they can find them, and,leave them
unburied; and the ground, in many
places, is strewed with dead bodies.
The accounts further add, that Ri
gaud had turned traitor, and had near
ly given up a part of the French army;
but on the eve of executing his trater
ous scheme he had been arretted, and
lent on board the (hipping.
When the new Post-Master-General was
onhis quay to the cit, of Wafhington,he call
ed at tbe ftage-boufe in New-York, to take a
feat in the foutbern stage. He found no
body except a boy in the bar-room ; and
therefore ordered him to enter the name of
Gideon Granger, Est. as a passenger. The
boy replied, that he mould enter the naine on
receiving the cuflomary earnefl-money.
" Earner-money !” exclaimed Mr. Gran
ger, " why fellow, I believe ,on don't know
who I am. lam the Pof-Mafter-Gene
ral of the United States. Igo free, you
blockbead." , The boy, who was of a wag
g^ turn, replied, " Well, fir, if you mufl
go free,,ou bad better go to the poft-office,
and get enclosed in the mail ; for if they
.put the devil bimfelfin there, we are oblig
ed to take him along. [ibid.

' RHODE-ISI,AND ELECTION
Took place on Wednesday last. In
Providence, for Governor, the votes
were, for Mr. Greene 370 ; for Gov.
Fenner, 139. The Representatives of
Providence the last year were re-elected,
including John Dorrance, Esq.
A vessel has arrived at Norfolk, which
failed from London March 7. The ne
gociators at Amiens had not finifhed
their labors.
It is really laughable to fee into what
a dilemma the democratic -republican
printers are thrown, by the repeal of the
internal taxes. Those in the country,
whose papers circulate wholly among
the farmers, gravely declare, that the
enormous duties on imported articles of
necefTrty are riot paid by the farmers,
but fall entirely on the merchants who
import. While those who print in the
seaport towns, and depend on merchants
for support, assert, (and to be fare with
some degree of truth) that high duties
do not effect the merchants and import
ers ; but are paid solely by the consum
ers in the country. This whimsical
contradiction among the gull-catching
gentry, clearly proves one important
fad, viz.—That the commercial and
agricultural interests are so completely
blended together, that the deftruCtion
of the one, is the inevitable ruin of the
other. [Balance.
From WASHING TON, April 16.
“ An engrossed bill, making provi
sion for the redemption of the whole of
the public debt, of the U. States has
passed the house.
“ The Judiciary bill has not been de
cided on in the house ; the alterations
made in the Senate from the old system
consist principally in the holding of but
one supreme Court in a year.
“ The salaries of the officers of the
Senate and House have been fixed ;
the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk
of the house of Representatives, are to
receive ?000 dlls. each.
The following is related as a fad—We cannot,
however, vouch for its authenticity.
Mr. Alexander Thomas,Poftmafter, Walpole,
removed. Is it not furprizing that the Federal
ills difeover no gratitude for the conciliatory
disposition which is every day discovered to
wards them ?—Mr. Thomas was a FEDERAL
REPUBLICAN!
Mr. Buell, Postmaster at Troy, removed, and
Mr. Ruggles R. Hubbard, appointed. Mr.
Granger. after making his acknowledgments to
Mr. Buell for the fidelity with which he has dis
charged the duties of his office, informs him that
the public interest requires that Ruggles R.Hub
bard, Esq. (a young man of about 22 years of
age) should be appointed Postmaster in his dead.
It is said that Mr.Buell was a FEDERALIST!
thy between the executive of this court
try and that of France. He hoped,
and believed, that the President felt no
partiality to the government of any
foreign nation ; certain he was thtit he
felt no partiality for that of France. No
two governments could be more dia
metrically opposed in their views and
objects than the governments of these
two nations. Mr. Giles said, that a
very few days would convince the
world, that no sympathy exists between
the executive of this country, and that
of France ! !"
Mr. Wilkinson, Postmaster at Providence,
removed. —Mr. Wilkinson, we believe, was an
HONEST MAN!
Judge Tryon, Postmaster at New-Lebanon,
has been removed, and a Mr. Jones appointed.—
Mr. Granger presented the “ homage of his high
refpeds" to judge Tryon, and informed him,
that his removal was in consequence of his living
at a great distance from the post road.—But the
fa& is,that Judge Tryon's dwelling-house is, and
has been for 14 or 15 years, not more than 20
or 30 feet from the poftroad. The pod-Office
was kept on the opposite (ide of the way, so near
the poftroad that the mail could be thrown into
the door of the post office, from the carriage,
while it stood in the road. —Mr. Jones, who is
appointed his successor, lives a mile or more from
the village.^—Perhaps Mr. Granger might
have been informed, that Judge Tryon was a
PRINTER !

CONCILIATION.
A Company of the United States
army, under command of Capt. Stod
dard, passed through this town last Sat
urday. They are last from New-port,&
are now Rationed at Fort. Constitution.
The fpedators were gratified with the
ease, grace, and precision, with which
they went through the manual exercise.
Their appearance was uncommonly
martial, perhaps an old soldier would
have said it was " a picked corpse."
They certainly appeared like men bred

We are credibly informed, in addition
to the violences which have already
been committed on American citizens
and their property by this nation of
Dons, that the following aft of injustice
recently occurred : An American
schooner, the Manhattan, arrived at
New-Orleans in the month of March
last, from Jamaica, and brought with
her upwards of 4000 dollars in gold.
The captain reported it at the Balize,
and was confequencly obliged to enter
it at New-Orleans, which he did by
way ofdepofit, to be exported to Natch
es. The gold was landed and deliver
ed to the consignee. The following
day an order was sent from the custom
house to the consignee requiring him
to return the gold into the treasury.—
A few days afterwards the consignee
applied for the gold having an oppor
tunity to ship it ; when to his utter as
tonishment, and that of every rational
individual, they refufed to deliver it,
tinlefs he would submit to a deduction
of three per cent, which they called
storage, a demand Contrary to any
thing ever heard of there, and unprece
dented elfewhere— {Philad. True dimer.
Extras of a letter from a gentleman in the
foutbern part of Maffaebufetts, to a
friend in New-Hamp(hire;
“ Permit me to congratulate you on
the happy ilfue of the late election in
this Commonwealth. The good sense
of New-England will prevail. By the
most difeerning men among us, this
year is confideted as the crisis. The ob
jed of the ruling powers has been to rev
olutionize Massachusetts. The " Farm
er" has spared no pains to accomplish
the objeft ; and if falfhood and calum
ny had been fufficient, he would.have
succeeded ; but his barbed weapons
have fallen back blunted, or recoiled up
on himfelf and his party. The " Peo
ple" now begin to fee " that the men of
their choice" while they promise liberty,
are themselves the servants of,licen
tioufnefs. The political change in Bos
ton is an evidence that the scales are
falling from their eyes. I hope by an
other year their vision will be perfeft.—
The em barraflments,to which thejaco
bins have lately been fubjed in Congress
prove them to be " blind leaders of the
blind." Perhaps Connecticut, Massa
chusetts and New-Hampshire may have
the honor of faring the Union. • Our

The Federal Circuit Court was open
ed in this town yesterday. Judge Low
ell, of Massachusetts, presided—Judge
Smith,of Exeter,was also on the beach.
We hear they are to be joined by Judge
Boardman,from Rhode-Ifland, to-day.
The ill health of Judge LoWELL
incapacitates him from attending the
Court in its circuit eastward —and we
hear he will immediately return to
Massachusetts. As there is little or no
business before the Court, it is probable
Messrs. Smith and Boardman will
leave town on Monday for Portland.
Much uneasiness has been excited in
Annapolis, Maryland, in consequence
of certain movements among the ne
groes of that place. Arms have been
given to the inhabitants, and a nightly
patrol established.-- [lbid.

Revival of Religion. .
By numerous letters received lately
from Kentucky, it appears, that a most
lingular revival of religion has taken
place. For many months its influence
was confined to a small diftrift, but by
degrees it has spread, till it has pervad
ed the whole State.. Nor has it retted
there—The remote counties of N. and
S. Carolina, and of Tennessee, have
also submitted to this wonderful change.
In places where vice and infidelity pre
vailed—where they were publicly a
vowed without a blush—where intem
perance, profane swearing and dissolute
habits, were predominant—there pie
ty, morality, purity of principles and
manners, have lately succeeded. This
aßoniffiirig change has by many been
ascribed to fanaticifm. Many profefs
ed unbelievers have gone to the feene
of these lingular events, with the inten
tion of ridiculing the fubjeejs of thi^
conversion, and have themselves be
come immediate converts.
