Agreeable to the treaty of Amity,
Limits and Navigation, between kis
Catholic Majesty, & the United States,
dated the 27th of Odober, 1795, and
signed by the Prince of Peace, and
Thomas Pinckney, it is stipulated,
(Art. 22,) That his Catholic Majesty
will permit the citizens of the United
States, for the space of three years,
to deposit their merchandize in New-
Orleans,and to export them from thence
without paying any other duty than a
fair price for their hire of the stores ;
and bis Majesty promises either to con
tinue this permiflion if he finds during
that time it is not prejudicial to the in
terests of Spain; or if he should not a
gree to continue it there, he 'will assign
to them, on another part of the banks of
the Mitfifippi an equivalent establishment.
Notwithstanding this stipulation, Juan
Ventufa Morales, the Intendant of Lou
isiana, by a decree dated the 16th Od.
1802, has ordered the privilege thus
granted to the citizens of the U. States
to be prohibited ; and has not aligned
another place at an equivalent efablifoment.
This meafurehas roused the sensibility of
the Americansin Louisiana. The Gov
ernor of New-Orleans, it is reported,
has not concurred with the Intendant in
the decree —conceives the condud of
the Intendent as tantamount to a dec
laration of war against the United
States, and will oppose it with all his
authority. It was expeded, the Inten
dant wouldbe arrested ; and the depos
it be allowed ; but the decree was in
force the 18th Od. The Prefident,in
his message to Congress, will unques
tionably disclose the interest which the
government takes in this violation of
existing treaties.

Extras of a letter from a Gentleman on
board the ship Hazard, Capt. Rowen,
of Providence, to his friend in this town,
dated Valperafo prison, April 16,1802,
" By this opportunity I inform you
of my misfortunes,as well as of a num
ber of my countrymen. On the ift. of
April we were boarded by the Span
iards, and were plundered and assault
ed ; several were (hot & dabbed, others
cut and beat in a very cruel manner.
The Capt. had his coat torn off his
back, and we were all thrown into pri
son without a rag of cloaths to wear."
A wrirer in the Aurora has censur
ed in a violent manner, the democratic
Senate of Pennsylvania for re-appoint
ing some Federal Republicans to office.
Os what life he asks, is it for the people
to fignify their wishes if those whom
they eleft will not he obedient to them ?
It is clear that a more violent party is
forming in the democratic fe&

pondence with Thomas Paine —to the betlow

ate invitation to that French citizen to come
over to America ? The whole nation is degrad
ed by such a fpe&acle—ft is exposed to the
pointed finger of derision ; aid muff prepare to
receive the tribute of contempt.
In the hiftory of nations, a formal mission from
the head and representative of a great and re
fpeaable people to an unofficial individual of a
foreign land, is an unusual thing—lt is a diplo
macy that rarely happens ; and it naturally pre
fuDpofes an uncommon degree of worth, in the
individual, who has been thus distinguished.
Whenever the fuhlime head and principal organ
of a great nation, by a mission in the solemn form
of an embassy, calls upon a foreign fubje& or
citizen to migrate, and to vouehfafe to the coun
try of the dignified petitioner the favor of kit
presence, it prefunpofes the expectation of im
portant services from the invited foreigner.—
What good Services can this country
expert from Thomas Paine ? -

BIOGRAPHICAL
William Pitt, (Lord Chatham) was a se
cond son, and became prime minister of England.
His rival and antagonist was Henry Fox, (Lord
Holland) a second son likewise. Lord Holland's
second Jon Charles Fox, and lord Chatham's
second son William Pitt, are now rivals and an
tagonists. Fox has as great or greater parts
than his father, with much better elocution, and
equal power of reasoning Mr Pitt has not the
dazzling commanding eloquence of his father,
but argues much better Perhaps there is not
on record an ioftance of two statesmen who were
rivals, being succeeded in equal rivalry by their
foils—certamlf not with so man, concurrent
circurnftances.

FROM THR BALANCE.
OBSERVATIONS RESPEC TING THE INVITATION
OF MR JEFFERSON, TO THOMAS PAINE
TC COME OVER TO AMERICA.
A public measure so lingular, so af
tonifhin% so degrading to executive
dignity and so foreign from the usual
business of national diplomacy, as was
the letter of invitation toThomas Paine,
written by Mr. Jefferfon and presented
by an ambassador of the United States,
cannot fail to excite, together with in
dignant sensations, a strong cUriofity to
investigate its motives. Had Mr. Paine
arrived to our shores, uninvited; or had
he even come, invited by individuals of
a subordinate grad,, his arrival would
have been announced among the trivial
occurrences of rhe day. It was the ex
traordinary manner of his introduction
among us, that has attached to this felf
degraded man a fufficient degree of
importance to render him an ®bjdft of
public notice.
It has lately been stated to the pub
lie, in terms of exultation by some of
the democratic party, that there are al
ready nearly two hundred thousand
European emigrants in this country :
and every year, and every month brings
alarge accession t^ this enormous mass
of foreigners. They croud our cities—
they dired our presses—they influence
and decide our elections, they fit in our
public councils, they govern our finan
ces—they know their own numbers—
they feel their own strength ; and they
speak to the nation from time to time,
in the language of menace and torn. —
Will not their numbers, merely from
spontaneous emigrations, be soon fuffi
cient to give us liberty ? —Was it neceflary
that the pen of the august President of
the United States, in connection with
diplomatic agency, should be employ
ed in inviting over European citizens
to our shores ?—or if such a grange ne
cessity really existed, the faefiion is dill
more strange,
Among all the men in Europe, who
might hive been induced, by diploma
tic invitation, to come over and help us,
was there no man so defervirtg, so need
ed as Thomas Paine ?—By what won
derful fatality has it happened, that the
man, who is emphatically the scorn
of Europe, should be fele&ed and dis
tinguished by Mr.Jefferfon,as the object
of his high esteem ; and should be af
fectionately invited to incorporate with
the people of this country !—or even
if it were necessary to make the felediori
from among the citizens of the Gallic
nation, was there none among all those
who had waded through the deep and
abominable filth of the French revolu
tions, tint enight challenge a competi
tion ?nd a preference ?—Why pitch
upon the man, that had excited qualms
in the bowels of France herfelf, and
whom she was eager to disgorge !—
Why pitch upon the man,againft whose
blasphemies thousands of pious parents,
in this country, had, in their dying mo
ments, solemnly warned their children !
Why pitch upon the man, that had
basely insulted this whole nation, by
pouring a torrent of foul abuse and
blackguardifm upon the venerable
Washington, who was emphatically
the Father ofthe country !

We have the painful talk to relate
to the citizens of North Carolina, the
death of their Governor eleft, Johnßap
tift Afhe; he died on the morning of
Saturday last, at his feat near Halifax ;
but two days before, he received the
letter of the Speakers of the two houses
of the legislature now in session, inform
ing him ofhis appointment as Executive
Magistrate ofthe Sate. He has served
as a Representative in Congress and
is a Member of the Legislature, and
would no doubt, have executed the du
ties ofhis lad appointment, with honor
to himfelf and fatisfiaionto the people.
In private life no man ranked higher
than Mr. Afhe, of which his numerous
friends and acquaintance bear testimony
—He left a wife, anda son ; the lat
ter about 10 years old — N, C. Minerva.

Extraordinary Parrot.
A few days since died, the celebrated Parrot
belonging to Col. O'Kelly. This extraordinary
creature sung a number of songs in perfect time
and tune, and, if she ever made a lapse, she
would ftop&goQver the passage until her ear wag
perfectly fatisfied. She could express her wants
articulately, and give her orders in a manner
approaching nearly to rationality. Her age is
not known, but it is upwards of thirty years
since the late Mr. O'Kelly bought her at Bristol
at the price of too guineas. The Colonel was
repeatedly off-red 500 guineas per annum by
persons who wished to make a public exhibition
of the bird : but this, one of tenderness to the
favorite, he constantly refuted. The bod, was
diffeaed by Dr. Kennedy and Mr. Breoke,
when the mufcels, or the Larynx, which forms
the voice, were found, from the effect of prac
tice, to be uncommonly strong; but there was
no apparent cause for itsfadden death.

DIED]=Ae Sagamore ereek, on Friday
morning, the 17th inst. mr. Benjamin Lear,
82 years of age, and was interred, the following
day, on his own land.
It is prefamed that no man ever died within
the limits of Portfmouth,who deserved the name
of a hermit, more than mr. Lear.
The farm, on which he lived, and which he
owned, was of fufficient extent and fertility to
have supported a large family ; but he had long
imbibed the idea that he should live to need 8c
spend the whole.
For more than twenty years he dwelt entire
ly alone in a hat, which scarcely any one would
have deemed decent for a barn. He made his
own garments which were in a fa sh ion peculiar
to himfelf. He tilled his land, milked his cows,
and made his butter and cheese : but subsisted
principally upon potatoes and milk. Owing no
doubt to his simple and temperrate mode of
living, he exhibited, at the age of eighty two, a
face freer from wrinkles, than is generally seen
in those of fifty.
He always spoke of the town, where he
made his appearance, once or twice a year, un
der the name of the Bank.*
His mother lived to be more than a hundred
years of age. When she was 102, some people
visited her, on a certain day, and, while they
were with, her, the bell was heard co toll for a
funeral. * old lady burst out in tears and
fpid,“ when will the bell toll for me ? ft faems
to me that the bell will never toll for me. I
am afraid that I shall never die. 1 '
Mr. Lear, although repeatedly invited and
urged to repair to some ofthe neighbors co spend
the winter, where he might be comfortable, ab
solutely declined alleging that he had every
thing he wanted. He would not fuffer any one
to spend a night,in his house, to take care of
him during his lad illness. For several weeks
before his death he was in a feeble state of health,
but with those comfortable accommodations,
which were abundantly in his power, he might
perhaps have lived to the age of his mother.
On Thursday night, !aft week, the cold was
so extreme that the mercury fell, in Farenheits
thermometer, to four degrees below nought. In
the evening he was so well as to be laying cut
his business for the ensuing spring, but, in the
morning, he was unable to rife. He had his
senses but soon expired, Almost any one cife
would, in similar circumstances, have been to
tally frozen long before morning. According
to his usual custom, he was without a shirt to
his back, but was clad in an old tattered cloth
garb, and his only covering for the night, be
sides, was a small ragged blanket, and his bed
was a parcel of straw !^
He was of an inoffenfive disposition towards
his fellow creatures, but with the means in his
hands, he denied himfelf almost every comfort
of life.
The place of his abode has often been visited
out of curiosity. The, waters of Sagamore
creek,irregular hills and vallies,a decent Orchard
an intervale for tillage,towering pines, and ctag
gy rocks, Appear in variegated diredioas from
the antient lowly cot, which forms the her
