America it partly the property of France f
Before the revolution the United States
was the property of King George. By the
right of conquest the soil is now owned by
the people of America ; but France, and
her sister state and ally, Holland, aided at
least Ao(/*in effecting the conquest of Ame
rica, and as Holland is now annexed to
France, therefore half the United States
properly belongs to Napoleon, and they are
bound to bear at least half the burthen of
the war. This is the reasoning of a true
French partisan. But how dues the Em
perour think on this point He boasts of
service rendered us during the revolu
tion, and appeals to the gratitude of the
with venting ourselves in acclamations of
praise. One .mean of safety requisite, as
well on account of the he’mousness of the
crimes perpetrated by the executive of the
eld government, as because it is the only
reprisal we have agahnt the President of
Quito, to prevent the continuance of bis
hostile acts, lies in securing as hostages
the' person* of Doo Antonio Amar, Don
Francises Herera, Don Joachim Carrion,
Don Manuel Msnsilla, whom your Excel
lency Will be pleased to see imprisoned
without any communication Whatever al
lowed with them ; sequestering whatever
property they may have in the province,
and holding them amenable to the judge
ment off this government, which will recip
rocally be bound to any measure* your Ex
cellency may adopt, in proof of the con
fraternity for the publick good; in which
w« hold ourselves allied with you. God
preserve your Excellency many years.

In this confusion, the Bishops and Priests
came out/ endeavouring to cease the tu
mult, which was now rising beyond control.
The people being intimidated, the town
was given up to be sacked by the soldiers;
when stores, ware-hpuses and dwellings
were emptied. In the house of Don Dewis
Cifuentes they obtained 12,090 dollars.-
The well assorted store of Don Manuel
Bonilla was entirely destroyed, as well as
those of many others, to the amount of 250
thousand dollars. These events took place
the same evening. The city being garri
soned by the artillery and troops, in the
night no occurrence took place ; but on the
following day was published by beat of
drum, (as well to restrain the excesses of
the troops, who still continued to riot in
murders, rapes, and all the, horrid out
rages of a barbarious soldiery sacking a
populous city,) as to give notice that as the
aaid prisoners were the origin of this dis
order, they should be pursued with every
exertion to bring them to justice. The
people, however, continuing the cry t<
“ arms !to arms!” and the country for 5
miles round rising en .masse, the govern
ment thought proper to form a Junta of the
Ecclesiastical and Secular Cabildos, with
the assistance of his Excellency the Bishop.
In that Junta was resolved on, the decree
absolving all those inculpated, as well foi
the 10th of August of the last year, aa for
the present assault; and ordering the
troops to retire to Lima. But this last or
der was not complied with; for on the fol
lowing day the troops were combatting the
people.
The foregoing is a copy of the despatch
from Pop*yon, by Don Carlos Montusar,
the 10th of August past.

At half an hour after one ia the evening
of Thursday, 2d August, about 40 or 50
men, imprisoned in the city gaol of Quito,
under sentence of death, for having borne
arms in the revolution of the 10th August
last, like lions, Seised upon the keeper and
guards of the prison; they wound and slay
many; and taking possession of their arms,
clothe tKertnelves in the dresses of the
slain—then running to the barracks, at.

Captain Lhneno, Don Nicholas Galup, and
Don Joaquin Villaspesa, captain of the bat

these brave youth* were not seconded, they
were at length overcome and killed, Thu*

epoch the Euiperour has felt a pleasure io
aggrandizing the United States 111" It b
truly remarkable that this “ cut purse of
the Empire and the Rule," should plume
himself upon the glory and achievements
of the murdered Louis—that the tyrant
who has sworn to extirpate the whole race
of Bourbons, should bottom his claims .to
American gratitude upon the services of a
government long since annihilated. It was
thrown out a* a popular argument to the
tender hearted, grateful democrats in sup
port of the tyrant's claim* upon us, and to
revive the prejudices of the revolution
against England. It would be a curious
method of evincing our gratitude to those
who assisted us in our struggle for inde
pendence, by delaying to discharge the
obligation until not a wreck of the friendly
government was left behind. But if demo
crat* have the face to talk of gratitude, let
them turn their guilty eyes upon Spain—
Let them remember the service* which she
rendered the United States, and the man
ner they have been requited. Seven year*
we negotiated with Spain to remunerate
us for the injuries which she had done u*
while under the influence of France, but
without success. The new government
has since tendered us reparation, which we
rejected from a fear of France. France is
our friend, and yet would be offended if we
suffered Spain to repajr our wrongs!
This day the Legislature of this State
will convene in this town. Besides I he or

to Congress for six years from the 4th of
March next, in the place of * Elisha
Mathewson, whose term of office ex
pires at that time. We are happy to hear
that the Hon. JxMts Bubbill, jun. Esq.
is in nomination for the office. Of Mr.
Bubbill's qualifications much is not ne
cessary to be said. He has been for many
years Attorney-General of this State ; the
duties of which office he has dischatged
with fidelity and unparalleled satisfaction.
His talents ar.d information as a lawyer
and statesman are unrivalled. His com
mercial information is not exceeded by any
person. His patriotism cannot be doubted.
In fine, every act of his publick or private
life eminently entitles him to the confi
dence of the Legislature, and we have not
the least doubt he will have a large majori
ty in hh favour at a Senator in

We are informed, L-om an authentick
source, that some time during the week be
fore last, a number of letters which had
been deposited in the mail, were foußd in a
pond .of water, between Hackets Town and
Sparta, in the County of Sussex, in this
State. The letters had been broken open,
and, it is supposed,' filched of their con
tents. One of them, making mention of a
note of hand for nearly 350 dollars, drawn
by a gentleman at Philadelphia, in favour
of a person in Hackets Town, and inclosed
by the letter to a friend in Philadelphia,
for payment, was also robbed. Immediate
ly on the letters being found, suspicion fixed
on a son of Jasper Stillwell, who carries
the mall from thi* place, through Mend*
ham, Hackets Town, Sparta, Rockaway,
&c. &c. and a warrant was issued for hi*
apprehension. On hi* examination before
two magistrate*, money was found upon
him to the amount of upward* of sixty dol
lar*, which be could give no. satisfactory
account of. He is now in confinement in
the gaol in thia town, where he ia to awqit
his trial before the District Court of New-
Jersey.
We have also been Informed that Within
a week or two letter* which had been put.
in the mail, have been found on the route
,between Baskingridge and Somerville, in
Somerset county,'where the mail ia also
carried by said Stillwell.
We have considered it our duty to pub
lish these fact*, in order to prevent false
reports, and with a vjew to give informa
tion to those who may have forwarded
money, or transacted any important busi
ness through the mail on either of the above
mentioned routes.
Captain Crowell, of schooner Regulator,
63 days from Valentis, informs, that the
day he sailed about 10.000 French troops
had arrived within 5 miles of that place ;
10,000 more were expected; and it was
thought when 25,000 more were collected,
they would attack the place: that Tarra
gona was still in possession of the Span
iards ; and it was reported that a ha rd bat
<lehad taken place between the French
and Spaniards, about 50 miles below Tar
ragona, in which the latter lost many men
and the French from 4 to 5000.

The following anecdote has been circu
lated on the continent, and its veracity
vouched for. Not long since Bonaparte,
with his Empress, visited the Imperial Li
brary, and among the rare works which at
tracted his attention, was one entitled “ Li
ber MirabiHs,” written in (iothick charac
ters, and containing the Predictions of St.
Cessaire, Bishop of Arles, made in the
year 514. The Emperbur's curiosity was
gxcited, and he directed the Librarian to
translate a part of it. Chance led him to
the following prediction. The Emperour
heard it with some emotions, which the
Empress appeared to enjoy; and when
finished, the Emperour snatched ths book
from the hands of the Librarian, flew into
another room, and, it is said, ordered a
page to throw it into the fire. But the af
fair got wind ; and as there are copies kept
of all rare manuscripts, the Empress pro
cured a transcript of it, which she trans
mitted to Vienna, from whence it has been
circulated. The obnoxious prediction is as
follows »
PREDICTION, A. D. 514.
“ The administration of this kingdom
(France,) shall be so blinded, that they
shall leave it wiilmotdefenders. The hand
of God shall extend itself over them, and
over ail the rich. All the Nobles shall be

From incontrovertible authority we are
enabled to state, that Gen. Armstrong
is soon to leave France, and that Jona

been appointed Charge det Affaire t.
He who is too timid to do great mischief,
and wants the honesty to pursue the right,
will be forced to give way to bold villains
who regard no consequence*. Anthony
succeeded Cesar, Augustus followed An
thony, and Tiberius furnished the sequel to
their crime* and usurpations. Should Bob
Smith succeed in the plot tn tupplant Mr.
Madison, we shall have passed with ac
celerated motion ad peetimum, ab mala.—
Relining on the folly Of old Rome, we shall
have skipped the reign of Augustus, the
sooner to get at the blessings in store, under
the government of a Nero. We want not
" age* to be crowded into years," we there
fore protest against this order of succession.
Giles should succeed Madison, In order to
pave the way, to prepare the publick mlifl
for Smith, who is as daring, persevering
and rofligate a politician as history has de
scribed. He wants but a theatre to act on;
give it him, the mask is instantly thrown
aside, and you will find him tyrannical,
cruel, revengeful. He would want npt a
pretext to destroy all , whom he now hates
and looks oq with a serpent's eye. Frayt

carry sometimes. Federal writer* live in
spite of Bob Smith's denunciations.*' The
man is many degrees removed from that
greatness, which sustains statesmetl in situr
aliens of difficulty and danger, but he has
a kind of cunning, the very identical ex
act sort of talents to manage a people
whose affairs at home and relations abroad
are situated as those of the United State*.
Mark our prophesy, barring death and the
intervention of a War, Bob Smith will tue

Those who think it policy to be hi* friends

they will find themselves deceived, they
will find the laugh turned upon them.

In this town, on Saturday last, Mr. Wil

In the deceased were happily blended those
qualities which justly endeared him to a
numerous family and an extensive circle
of friends and acquaintance. As a hus
band, he was affectionate; as a parent, kind
and indulgent; as a citizen, patriotick, and
as a merchant, honest. His indisposition
was long and painful, which he endured
with characteristick fortitude, and without
a murmur quietly resigned his spirit into
the hands of his God, which we confident
ly hope is now mingled with " the spirits of
just men made perfect.” The disconso
late widow and children of the deceased
may console themselves in the reflection,
that many, very many, are they who sym
pathize in their sufferings. The funeral
will be solemnized this day, at half past
