CHARLESTON, JULY 14.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the de
molition of the Baftile, the French citizens,
now in this city, assembled at the house of
(he Consul of the Republic, and from thence
"with the Coriful and a number of officers of
the Republic, walked in procession, preced

Governor's house, on East-Bay ; the Gover
nor then accompanied them on board the
Corvettee of the Republic, I'lnfolent, which
was handsomely decorated with the colours
of the Republic, and her allies, in honor of
the day. While the Governor remained on
board, the Marseilles Hymn was sung by the
officers and crew of the Corvette, and a na
tional Dilute of 22 guns was fired, which was
^nfwered in a lively manner by the 5 French
vessels at anchor in the stream.
It is now no longer doubtful, whether the
Spanish government have established a fort at
the Chickasaw Bluff, in lat. „ deg. N. upon
the East bank of the Mississippi, within the
limits of this territory. The logs, pickets,
and other materials, were all prepared on
the weft (Spanish) fide of the river, which
were brought over with such expedition, that
the blockhouse and stockade were ere&ed &
cannon planted in 24 hours; Guiofo, the
Governor of the Natches, was hjmfelf at the

the time he was erefting the blockhouse, that
he was determined to establish and maintain
at that place a strong garrison.

This, it appears, the General considered
io heinous an offence, as to merit the most
Ravage chaftiferoent: He therefore leaped
from the carriage, under the pretence of
trying his manhood with Mr. Doane, and
began the assault by violently pushing him,
to provoke refinance ; and while Mr. D.
was defending' himfelf, the General, with all
the dexterity ofa ruffian bravo, drew a tuck
sword from a cane which he had in his hand,
and run it into his antagoroift's body, the
blade very fortunately took a planting direc
tion, and broke between the ribs, after it had
entered about 5 inches. The weapon was
so privately used, that very few of the by
standers saw it at all, and the few who did,
only saw it in its broken situation, and tho't
it had been broke before it was drawn, so that
no mifehief had ensued therefrom. Mr. D #
neither saw it, nor knew Ire was wounded,
until half an hdur afterwards—when he felt
some pain, and applied to a medical gentle
man, who cut out the broken piece, which
measured near four inches. Mr. Doane was
so much exasperated at this unmanly attempt
on his life, that he set off after the operation,
accompanied by a neighbor, in pursuit of the
General, whom lie overtook at Icunfwick,
where the Court of Nifi Prius was then fit

On Thursday afternoon last, as General

happened to have tome difference with a
young boy, who drove the Hage, which the
General had hired for his journey, who, on
hearing the dispute, took part with his ser

steps, where they were standing ; and after
he had got into the Rage, continued to treat
him with so much violence, that Mr. Doane,
a refpeftable citizen of Trenton, remarkable
for his pacific disposition, thought it necessa

which he did, in the mildest terms.

HARTFORD, AUG. 3.
The citizens of Charleston, (South
carolina) have had a meeting, and
expressed their disapprobation of the
treaty in strong terms. Every arti
cle is reprobated. Judge Rutledge
declared " he had rather the President
Ihauld die [dearly as he loved him)
than he should figo that treaty."
A meeting has likewise been held
in Philadelphia ; after discussing the
bufinefi in Boston fafhioo, the presi
dent of the Democratic Society said,
“ I have one more motion to make to rn,
fellow countrymen and that is, that you
kick this damned Treaty to bell." The
dispute in Philadelphia now is, whe
ther the meeting was composed of
refpedable citizens, or not. From
the various publications we are led to
believe, that it was of a piece with the
Boston and Newyork town meetings.
The great body of the citizens of
the United States will hardly be in

cannon mounted io them ; That since
the arrival of the troops from Eng

a posture of defence, at obliged the
French to raise the liege, :nd return
to Leogane ; That it had been very
sickly there in the month of June, but
was not so when he came away ; that
he was informed by a person, that
some time before hit arrival, there
were three American captains buried
in one day, and almost every Ameri
can vessel had had some died out of
them ; chat in common they were not
tick more than five days. Every
captain is advised, not to make use of
the water at that place before it has

use of water there is considered as ve

EXTR ACT.
" A number of the condemners of the trea
ty have alledged, that commercial arrange
ments, on principles of reciprocity,have b e1
offered us by the French Republic: The
public have been so long imposed on by this
aflertion of Frenchified Americans, that it is
time to undeceive them. The fatt, in fh>rt
unequivocal language, is this : Mr. Genet
was inftruded to form a treaty with the Unit
ed States, most reciprocal indeed —that is, est.
Jive and depenfive, at least with refpe& to the
French American possessions. It was on this
express condition, of making a common cauje
with France, that is, of entering into the vear,
and this condition only, that be had power to
negociate and conclude a commercial treaty
with the United States. This is the reason
why the President has declined to enter into
a negociation with the French Minister, and
where is the American that will fay HE IS
WRONG ?
Doane's disdain of accepting any pecuniary
recomptnce, this offender escaped without
punishment, unless his acknowledgment that
he leaped from the stage, with an intention
of taking Mr. Doane's life, and his expres
sions of sorrow for his violence, are to be con
sidered as a Sufficient compensation from such
a man, for such an offence.
The above is an incontrovertible statement
of fifes, and every friend to the equal rights
of mankind will regret, that any man's ele
vated filiation in life should place him, par
ticularly in this country, either out of the
reach, or in any wife shelter him from ex
emplary justice for so atrocious an offence,
both against an individual, and society at

THE ALGERINES,
The accounts of a peace being con
cluded with the Dey of Algiers, at
pubrifhed, are premature. Colonel
Humphrey#, who was charged with
the miffun, had only reached Gibral- ,
tar, at the date of our last accounts.
Thit he will accomplish a peace, and
a redemption of our unhappy breth
ren there, is probable ; as he had with
him the military apparatus which the
Dey demanded as the price of both.
We are happy in learning, that the
mercantile part of this state, almost
generally Ipeaking, are in favor of the
treaty, modified as it has been by the
Senate. This is not a vague annun
ciation ; it is founded on information
from almost every port from Nan
tucket to Wifcaffet.
The Aurora, Bartlet, has arrived at
Plymouth, in 42 days from Bilboa.
It was not known at the time of her
failing, That a Peace had been con
cluded between France and Spain.—
This intelligence makes the informa
tion of the establishment of Peace be
tween the Court of Madrid and the
Gallic Republic, left probable, than
it before appeared. The province of
Biscay, having been long the theatre
of the war between those powers, a
fufeenfion of hostilities, which gene
rally attends negotiation, would have
made known to them, that Peace was
concluding : Besides, if a peace had
been concluded at Paris, at the time
mentioned, viz. the beginning of June,
the French troops would then have
been withdrawn from the vicinity of
Bilboa, and this event would have
been a fufficient proof to the inhabi
tants, of the adjustment of affairs be
tween the two powers ; and would
have been known to Capt. Bartlec
when he failed, viz. 22d of June.
