men of war from Cadis, which they left
about the Ist of June, and bring informa
tion that the Marquis Romans, with 80,000

French army towards Cadis, which city
was in high spirits, and under no fears of
being compelled to a speedy surrender.-
The above ships brought to Yenerifle 800
French prisoners; but the inhabitants of
the Island were so greatly incensed against
them on account of the sacrileges and at
troclties committed in Spate, that they
embodied and threatened to massacre them
ail; but were prevented by a body of regu
lar Spanish troops; not however, before
two respectable French inhabitants had
fallen victims to the fury of the populace.

On Saturday evening last, the citizens of
thia town were alarmed by the cry of fire,
which was discovered in g Barn, partly
filled with hay, at the head of the Long-
Wharf, the property of General Wil
liam Allen. The hay was in flames
when the fire was discovered, but the ao
; tivity of the citiaons was such, that the
fire was extinguished before any materia!
damage was done. The next tfiorning a
bunch of matches was found near the Barn,
and others within it, partly burnt, which
leaves no doubt of its being the work of
some most vile anti wicked incendiary,—
Disappointed in hie expectations of plun
der, he improved the opportunity produced
by the momentary confusfon, and robbed a
gentleman of his pocket-hook; but fortu
nately Its contents were of but little value
to any one except the owner. It is anx
ioubly hoped that the town will use such
means, as will, if possible, lead to a dis
covery of the villain. Perhaps he may be
some office-hunter, and knowing how ably
the tq/amoiM some* years pre
viously convicted and punished for burning
a bam, was supported at the last elec
tion, as a Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas for the county of Kent, he intends to
qualify himself for a similar office in this
county. Should this be his intention, he
has only to disclose his name, be convicted
and punished, and unless our Legislature
should be previously changed for better, he
may be a successful candidate at the next
election, for the office of Judge of the
Supreme Court, since his crime is more
aggravated than that of the incendiary
Gardner, as more property wonld have
been exposed to destruction, had he suc
ceeded in his infernal and diabolical at
tempt.
These gentlemen are again offered to the
support of their friends, and the friends of
their country. They were chosen at a lime
when this country was rapidly verging to
bankruptcy and ruin. Measures weak,
ruinous and disgraceful succeeded each
other with a rapidity that excited univer
sal alarm, and the freemen of thia State dis
missed those who were unworthy to repre
sent them, and appointed men who knew
their duty to their constituents, who pro
tected our rights without infringing our
liberties, who removed the pernicious em
bargo from our commerce, and checked
the administration in its mad and destruc
tive career. They are' large landholders,
and are concerned In extensive manufacto
ries ; they art warmly attached to the me
chanick, the agricultural and commercial
interests; they are the sincere and zeal
ous friends of peace, liberty, free trade, and
good government. Possessing the princi
ples of an enlightened and wise policy, they
venerate the character, they approbate the
administration of Washingtom, they are
men whom Waskington would approve.
Are not such men entitled to our confi
dence ? Shall they not receive our suf
frages? And shall not the pitiful advo
cates of the embargo, the base betrayers
of their country's honour, be told by our in
dependent yeomanry, that ** they desire
not the knowledge .of their ways ?"
The Democratick Caucus have nomi
nated Nathaniel Hasamd, and Na
than Bbown, as their Representatives
in the twelfth Congress. In this nomina
tion, they say “ the honour and respecta
bility of the State has been duly regard
ed !” We were not prepared to believe
that such men could confer *• honour and
respectability" even on the democrats;
and we are at a loss to conjecture how it
can be accomplished, unless like some
-mighty, potentate, they can confer what
they never possessed.

Iw a republican government, like ours, it
is truly astonishing to see what influence
some families possess, and how it is extend
ed, even to an election of the most trifling,
insignificant officer. That there Is an in
fluence of this nature,' now in this State,
the following will sufficiently show:
James Aldrich, formerly a Senator of
thia State, ao intimate friend of the late
Governour Fenner, is, undoubtedly, the
head of this truly republican family. He
was one of the Directors of the famous, or
rather fq/bmesw Pm*mers* Exchange Bank
in Glocester, and was one of those who ad
vised the loaning at upwards of £400,000.
After this transaction, he declined serving
any longer as a Director. He has since
then, been but little noticed till the Isst
seskion of the Legislature, when he served
as a Representative. It was during this
session, that the ** Republican Conven
tion” fixed upon Nathaniel Hazard,
Er j. and Mr. Nathan Brown, as Can
didates to the Twelfth Congress of the
United States. Whether Jambs Aldrich
had any cohcern in this nomination of M»
Hazard, I do not pretend to say; bu
that Mr. Brown is indebted to him for hn
nomination, may be inferred, when it is
considered how intimately these two gen
tiemen were connected in the transaction
of the Glocester Bank.
James Fenner, the Governour, whose
cousin Obadiah Fenner, married th.
daughter of James Aldrich, is the se
cond beet in the family compact.
Thomas Mann, who is a nephew, or
near relatioa of John Harris, is now
the Chief Justice of th* Court of Common
Pleas.
The sister of Jeremiah Knight, who
is a Representative, and Nkhkmiah k.
Knight, who is a Clark of the Court oi
Common Pleas, for this County, married a
son of James Aldrich.
Stephen Wilmartx, who is a Justice
of the Peace, and a son of Timothy Wil -
MARTH.oneof the most active Director*
of the Glocester Bank, married a daughte r
of James Aldrich.
.Charles Angmll, who is the nephew
of John Harris, lata President of said
Bank, married a daughter of James Al
drich, and is now one ef she Justices ut
the Court of Common Pleas.
