by Captain King Brown, the property
of Mr. Joseph Brown. Frank was found
guilty, condemned and executed last
Friday, at Winton ; Capt. King was
carried to Windsor to be tried, where
he, no doubt, will share the fate of
Capt. Frank. The others tried at
Winton, who did not appear equally
< criminal with Frank & King, were pun
ilhed by cropping,whipping and brand
ing- Upwards of too are apprehended
in Bertie county, and great numbers in
Martin ; some in Halifax are supposed
, to be concerned in the conspiracy.—
Words cannot express the consternation
that pervaded all ranks of the inhabit
ants in this part of the State. The a
larm was greatly increased by fiQitious
reports circulated receding the busi
ness. It was reported at Winton, and
the report soon reached this place, that
the negroes had embodied in Bertie,
burnt the gaol in Windsor, and were
marching in battle array to Winton,
in order to liberate the prisoners con
fined there,; it was currently believed
there for one day,that it was really the
case. The militia were called out, and
every man in the county was under
arms all the night of theioth inst. Next
morning the report was contradicted.
A report is now in town that nine of
the unfortunate wretches were hanged
at Windsor.

BOSTON, JULY X.
LATE FROM EUROPE.
By the Clip Governor Strong, Capt.
Stinfon, arrived yesterday from Liver
pool, in 40 days, we have received Lon
don dates to May 18, from which we
have made feverat extra's. The arti
cles relating to French affairs, will be
deemed interesting, as they refped the
developement of the human character.
In the Courier of the 14th May, we
find it noticed that a very animated &
important debate took place dn the pre
vious evening, in both Houses of Par
liament, on the fubjed of the Defini
tive Treaty. The extent of the argu
ments, (the Editor further observes)
preclude the possibility of giving them
publicity this day ; but we may be per
mitted to remark, that those who be
lieve the Peace likely to be a very per
manent and lading one, will not find
great encouragementfrom these debates
to cling with much confidence to that
belief. —•—o
SALEM, JUNE 29.
From theWEST-INDIES.—By Cop. Andrews.
A British Packet arrived at Martin
ique the sth inst. bringing intelligence
that a fleet had failed from France
with xi,ooo troops on board,bound for
the windward Iflands,and that they had
then been 32 days on their passage.—
Martinique is to be delivered up to the
French on the 27th of July—an event
which is regretted by many of the
French inhabitants, who fear that the
present tranquillity will not be perma
nent, and that new feenes of distress a.
wait the long affli&ed inlanders. Num.
bers of the British merchants were pre.
paring to leave the Blind on account of
:ne ic^hfal and comm^ce a general
mafldcre of the white inhabitants. The
plot was providentially difeo/ered by a
letter found in the poffeffioh of a negro
woman ; the purport of which inform
„ed certain Negroes, therein named, to
be ready with their arms on the day a
bove mentioned. The letter is anony
mous, and I have not heard whether
the author has been difeovered. The
names of the Negroes mentioned in the
letter, and who now wait their trial,
are the property of Thomas Felt, Jo
seph Brown, David Sumner, Joshua
Simfon, and Elisha Scull. No Negroes
in this part are as yet implicated, but
it is feared some will be to-morrow, on
the trial. The inhabitants of this place,
particularly the women, are much a
' larmed. In order to quiet their fears,
aguard patroles the streets every night.'
Another from the Jame, dated June 14.
" I mentioned in my last a conspira
cy amongst the negroes in this county
and Bertie ; I attended their trial at
Winton. It appeared by the evidences
on trial, that the plot was ripe for ere
cation ; that they intended to assemble
the roth inst. at Cockran's ferry ; to
arm themselves with fitch weapons as
they could procure ; to march from
thence to Mr. Thomas Fitts's, murder
him and take possession of the arms and
ammunition at that place ; then pro
ceed to Freeman . Chapple in Bertie,
where an association meeting of the
Baptists was expeded to draw togeth
er a large collection of people there,then
a dreadful carnage was to begin. They
were to murder all the white males of
note, and all others that would not join
them, and all the old white females, &
black males that did not join. The
young white females they were to re
serve for wives, and the young female
slaves as waiting maids for their wives.

“ HIRELING PAPER, the Oracle?
Sec New-Hampshire Gazette, June 29.
The public doubtless recoiled the contest
between us and the Gazette relative to the
eleftion. Whatever might have been our
opinion of the parchafe of that paper, we
kept it concealed, determined in our public
condufl to view it as the purchase of the
men whose name, were at its head ; a pur
chase for their own emolument, and at their
own rift —and it is not till after we are
charged with being " hirelings" that we
avail ourselves ofwhat information we pof
ff of that tranfaftion ; and let them recoi
led that if in this ftalement their charac
ters and claims to public esteem and confi
dence is placed in different colors from what
they would wifh,that it is their own officious
and intemperate zeal that has exposed them.
They have indirectly charged us with inten
tions of injuring them. It is our duty to
give the public correct flatements of public
fr^rft&ns. In doing this we found the
Gazette in our way : "we courted a difeuf
fon, which we attended to as long as any
argument appeared on theirfide : but it fan
degenerated into calumny, and we were
Jilent, having little inclination, and left
time to attend to such a warfare. This
weapon having once succeeded, is again re
sorted to in hopes of a Jimilar effefl. The
writer fl,all be disappointed.
Soon after the purchase of that paper,
the new conductors of it,were charged with
being (be mere tools to the leaders of that
party. They replied with indignant lan
guage, and claimed a total independence of
sentiment and aßion. This was their pub
lic language—we jhall fee how it will ac
cord with a private confeffion. The senior
Editor, in conversation on politics, was aft
ed why. he published a paper so foreign to his
sentiments ? He replied with readiness—
Becaufe\the Republicans (as he termed them)
have infur ed us the State Printing,at a great
forfeit in case weJhould loose it, and because
they have promised us two fubferibers for
every one we Jhould loose in consequence of a
change of principles, if we would pub-
LISH A REPUBLICAN PAPER !!! How
faithfully this agreement bas been fulfilled on
their part, every number of the Gazette will
teftify.
The facrifce has been made, and they are
now reaping the wages ofprofiituticn.-
its approaching re©ratioa to France.
The latest accounts from Guadeloupe
were,that the Negroes at Basseterre had
been completely quelled. They would
have held out longer,had not their pro
visions failed. The inhabitants who
had fled to the Saints, Dominique, &c.
were returning, with confidence in the
firm establishment of the French power.

HANOVER, JUNE 10.
Last Sunday, about half patt 6^ P. M.
the clouds presented a most threatening
afped. The clouds which arose from
the N. W. and S. W. approached each
other with terrible majesty, and their
conjunction produced a violent gust of
wind, accompanied with lightning,
thunder and hail, which did an im
mense deal of damage, in this vicinity,
and in the neighboring towns. Houses
were unroofed, windows broken, barns,
trees, &c. levelled to the ground.
About fifty feet of the roof of Dart
mouth College was taken off by the vio
lence of the gale, and carried to a great
distance—Nothing seemed able to with
stand its force.
The pld^ft men among us, have no
recollection of having ever experienc
ed so violent a wind. It continued but
two or three minutes.
