cause of the arrest, as far as I can find
out, on the fide of capt. Rogers, is, for
having spoken difrefpe^fully of the

WASHINGTON, MAY j.
X ESTERDAY Mr. Le^r arrived
here fromCapeFrancois. We learn,that
oh the return of Gen* Le Clerc from
Port an Prince, he informed Mr. Lear,
that from an examination of the treaty
between France and the United States
and from the nature o his [Le Clerc's]
powers he did not think himfelf autho
rifed to recognize him in the character
of Consul of the United States. Mr.
Lear Accordingly took his leave.
We hnderftand that the treaty only
-authorifes the United States to fend
Consuls to the European possessions of
France, and that previously to the year
1796, no American Confiils were re
ceived in the French Weft Indies.
When Mr. Lear failed, American
produce was extremely low. The day
before he departed, the Batavian fleet,
confiding of 4 (hips of the line, had
failed for New York.

The treaty will not be laid before
Parliament till rhe ratifications have

the preliminaries were, in the Moniteur.

take place when the ratification arrives.

TRENTON, APRIL 2Q.
We understand from good authority
that Aaron H. Middleton, Esq. Post-
Master at Woodbury, has been turned
out of office by the new Post-Master
General. —Mr. Granger since his ele
vation to the head of the Poft-Office
Department has displaced more officers
than Gov. M'Kean and Mr. Jefferfon
together. Scarcely a newspaper comes
to hand but records some wanton ad of
this man. Mr. Middleton is a gentle
man of unblemished reputation, and
much esteemed by his fellow-citizens.
No objections, we believe, have ever
been made to his official conduct. The
crime for which he is punished by the
funjhine patriots of the day is, the appro
bation be gave to the administrations of
Washington and Adams. There was
a time when the Americans enjoyed
the rights of a free toleration of opinion,
both political and religious; but that
time has now passed, Tyranny, disguis
ed in the plain garb of Republicanism, is
constantly busied in sapping the founda
tion of our liberties, and making inroads
upon the freedom of the people;
George Latimer, Esq. is dismissed from
the Colledorfliip at Philadelphia, and Pet£r
Muhlenburg, Bfq appointed.
Accounts from Dominica mention, that the
black troops there, had risen on, and maffacreed
their white officers.
Gentlemen from St. Domingo confirm all the
accounts heretofore pbblilhed, of the arbitrary
and unfriendly conduct of the French there.

" Mr. Granger t believe has much
trouble in finding suitable characters
for his deputies thro' our country. For
thirty miles on the post road he cannot
find a Jacobin ; he has however estab

Jacobin deputy one mile from the road
in Afnford. This man was firft a shoe

lately fuffered by fire to the amount of
forty thousand dollars.—We are hap

tributed. We anticipate, from the
encouragement given in different parts
of the United States, that Nassau Hall

Subscription papers, from Bowdoin

will be as generously filled as those from
Princeton.
the business of Congress is about drawing
to a close; a resolution having passed both houses
this day, to adjourn on the 3d inst. Among
other bilk lately passed is one, for appropriating
2,664,000 dollars, for the purpose of carrying
into effect the Convention between the United
States and His Britanie Majesty. & This bill
met with no bppofition, the conftitutionalifts
voting in favour of it from a, principle of justice,
and the minifterialifts (or Virginians) agreeing
thereto, because it was providing for the pay
ment (almost exclusively) of their own debts.

Last Wednesday the strength of the two par

This State was represented the left lemon of
Congress, in the Houft of Representatives by
TftREE Federates aud seven Democrats —By
the late law of Congress giving one Represen
tative .0 every 33,000 inhabitants; we think
seven additional Representatives will Fall to her
lot.—From all accounts we have received of
the present elision it Hands as follows—
Federal Representatives to Con
gress, chosen— Joshua Sands; Kil

Hen. W. Livingston; John Wil

• Lately removed from the office of (Di,ria)
Attorney ,again, Lucius Elmendorf, bis facefor in

In Onedia, the returns of 12 towns gives the
Federalists a majority of 801 —Probably elected.
In five counties the Democratic Ticket has
prevailed, both for Congress and State Altera
bly,—names not mentioned.—Dt. Mitchell is
elected in the city.
The above are all the returns we can collect
from the New-York papers — The election as
far as these accounts date, is highly honorable
to THE C@OB OLE CAUSE. .
A triumphing democrat, in the full
nefs of his exultation, rashly proclaim

set forever." It hath indeed been fofoe

But its absence will be temporary and
its return glorious. Those birds of
darkness, which have made the sorest
resound with their fcreechings and dis
sonant notes, will Portly fly before its
beams, and hide themselves in thejr
Wonted obfeurity. Already we per
ceive the sure prognostics that the Sun
of Federalism is again rapidly rising to
the verge of the horizon ; already the
morning blushes With its beams, arid a
thousand rays shoot and sparkle round
the Iky. The fogs of fadion and the
dark clouds of democracy will be dissi
pated at its apptoach; and our country
will again rejoice in the cheering& ferti

Rais'd by th, breath, hath ^uensbed the Orb of day.
To-morrow be repairs the golden food,

" Thulit appears that Henry W. Livingston,
Esq. is elected Representative to Congress by a
majority of IX4, in the fame county which, fall
October gave john P. Van Nessa majority of
583. Mr, Livingston is a gentlenran of ex
cellent talents, and has too much independence
of mind, to facrifice the best intcrefts of his con
ftrtuents. He is in short, a conHitutional fed
eralift, who will never abuse the confidence
which his fellow-citizens, by their fuffrages,
have placed in him. What honest man, then,
will not rejoice that; he is to take the feat of the
member who, the session paft,has wfaeprefent
cd this diftriCt in Congress.
Samuel Edmonds, Fitter Silvester, Aaron
Kellogg and Moncrief Livingston, all good fe
deralifts, are ele&ed Members of Assembly by
very refpedabie majorities, to the great disap
pointment, and Mortification of their political
opponents, who the last year maintained an as
cendancy in this county. Ambrose Spencer,
attorney general, late senator, &c. who, it is said
was placed on the democratic ticket, for the
purpose of giving it weight, Hands the loweQ on
the lift. This is the more furprizing when it
is well known that his name whsplaced on up
wards of thirty federal tickets, by a certain
friend of his in this city. Mr. Edmonds, who
was removed from the office of Sheriff, on ac
count of his political sentiments, Hands the
bigbed on the lift. Thus have an honest, free
and independent people, rewarded degraded
merit—and thus have they punished an over
bearing abuse of power.
