The enemies of Mr. Jefferfon may
call his general political conduct in
question—but surely they must at least
be convinced of the reflitude of his in
tentions, and of his desire to improve,
when they fee him calling the virtuous
Tom Paine to America to counsel, and
perhaps to decide. Above all, that fool
ifh fed, the ChriHians of the communi
ty cannot fail to be grateful for fur
nifhing them with an able preceptor to
teach them the absurdity of their doc
trines, and illuminate their minds.
Some men have the happy knack of
doing an honor while they confer a
benefit : Mr. Jefferfon i^on: of those ;
for by bringing Paine to America, he
n»t only has procured the Christians
the benefit of his pious advice, but done
them the honor to treat their opinions,
feelings, and prejudices with becoming

Accounts by late vcffels from St.
Domingo fay, that after many actions
, of various consequences, the blacks had,
about the beginning of October, drove
the whole of the army, both horse and
foot, that was encamped on the plain
between Cape Francois and the hills, in
to the town, and it is added, that had
not the small reinforcements of troops,
they received in September, arrived
at that critical juncture,they must have
fled to their (hipping, or been cut off.
In short, the French are in the utmost
want of both men and money to sup
port them in their forlorn hope.
We are told that in the action about
the middle of September near the town,
the French loft a general officer, and a
, great number of their whites, who were
killed—and that a brigade of the blacks
went over and joined their brethern.

^ An arrival at the southward has
furnifhed papers a few days later than

barren of interesting events.
(O An article from Leghorn is men
tioned as dating "that the American
squadron blockading Tripoli had at
tempted to land 2000 men; and had
been completely defeated. We know
not what circumstance could give rife
to this absurd article. There are no
troops on board our frigates in the Me
diterranean, and we believe there is
but one of them off Tripoli. Some af
fair with a watering party, may have
taken place ; and a Rory loses nothing
by circulation.

—correspondent, who is well pleas
ed with the progress which the Mecha

that the ffieets were manufactured in
MafTachufetts byColonel Revere & son.
It added to his fatisfaftion, on being in
formed, that the only manufactory of
Sheet Copper in America, is in this
State ; —and that the manufacturers a
bove-mentioned have now ready for
delivery to the government of the U
nited States 20,000 weight of sheet
copper for covering the bottoms of the
74 gun ships ordered some years since
to be built. The federal administra
tions encouraged this manufacture in
its infancy ; and we mention it as high

Dreadful Suicide in France.
Citizen Mazor, ^captain of artillery
at Dieppe; after having eaten a hearty
dinner with his mistress, shot himfelf, a
few days ago, under the chin, with a
piftolloaded with 3 balls. Hishead was
Shattered in a frightful manner ; one of
the bullets took out one of his eyes ;
but the other two, which no doubt
reached the brain, could not be found.
The unfortunate man had Rill know
ledge enough remaining to perceive
that he had not fully perpetrated his
crime, and with a dagger again wound
ed himfelf in several parts of the body,
without being able, after all,to succeed
in his murderous attempt ; thus cir
cumstanced, he was carried to a hospi
tal, where he expired the next day, in
the most excrutiating agonies, a fright
ful monument of irreligion and mad
ness. This deluded man was hurried
to the criminal ad by desperation ; he
had made too free with the company's
money, and at the eve of being reduc

to make it good. [Lon. Pap.

" Notwithstanding Duane's assertions
to the contrary, it is a fad, that afecond
edition of the report of the Committee
of Investigation, was printed and diftri.
buted to the Members of Congress a
considerable time after the close of the last
session. Even in this second edition, the
documents relating to Mr. Randolph's
accounts, also Mr. Gallatin's letter of
March zd, 1802, and all the statements
connected with that letter, nuere fuppref
fed! It is less furprizing that Duane
Ihould deny the truth, that that an ad

the supp reflion of documents, conneded
with an enquiry of such importance,
Ihould be repeated. TRUTH.
Thus then, Old Massachusetts will have
TEN Federal to Seven democratic
Members ; and the Federalists will have
gained Two of the Three additional
Members from the new census. Thus
will the expectations and inflated antic
ipations of increasing democracy be
blasted; and a period put to the fhort
lived exultations ofignorance and folly.
* (Centinel.
The boyish exultations of the sup
porters of the present administration in
all parts of the United States, on the
issue of the elections in this, and an ad
joining dillrift, are proofs of their weak
ness, ignorance and folly : as well as of
the imbecility of the cause they advo
cate: But their chagrin will be equal
to their boasting, when they find, that
notwithstanding the apathy of the cap
ital, the federalism of Mafo.
chufetts Hill predominates, and that the
State progresses in correct principles.
A short ft^tement will prove the fad.

In the last Boston papers is a state

The account is Chronicle all over. The

The fad is, Berwick gave Lord 45,2nd
Cutts 30. If we may depend on our
information, which is from refpeda

trifling error. The majority is said to
be about 170 or 180 votes.
