'Ac/voicing is oxtraC/Afrom a paper, printed a!
Idivrt de Grace, entitled, Courier Maritime du
Havre,s Tberrailorgear IQ— July 23,1802.
" It will often be remembered, with
gratitude, that the head of the house of
M. M. Collow Freres, Carmichael and
Comp received, in the year 1790, a
4 packet-boat from London, informing
of the disasters of St. Domingo. They
immediately invited the magistrates to
make' this news public, and lent notice
of it to all the counting houses, to in
duce a suspension of sales, that- one
might profit from this public calamity,
“ Yesterday morning at four o'clock.
M. Bourlet, one of the house of M. M.
Hottinguer & Co. received a courier
from the head of their establishment at
Paris, announcing the consular Arrte
of the 3d Thermidor,which we publish
ed yesterday.. M. Bourlet immediate
ly dispatched a circular letter to the
merchants in Havre, and at 7 o'clock
they were all informed, that Govern
ment had fixed the fate of the com
'merce of our Colonies. This difipter
eled action has excited general admira
tion and gratitude."
From Callender's Recorder.
It is not true that, at any time of my
life, I ever wrote to Mr. Jefferfen solicit
ing a Loan. Ir the summer 1797 the
vice president called at the office in
Philadelphia, where I was then printing
the Hiftory of 1796. He gave me a
joe. He said that I might expend the
fame sum from him upon every fuc
seeding publication : He paid various
compliments upon the singular, the
forcible and correß point of view, in
which I had, as he said, p aced a mul
tiplicity of public tranfaeions : He
spoke of my writing as of national im
portance : He exprefled his hopes that
I would persist in printing. A few
months after this past, which was in
June, or thereabouts, the city was visit
ed by the yellow fever : There ensued
a scene of alarm and deflation, that
no ftrergth of fancy can conceive, and
that no pen can fully describe. It was
from such a dungeon of distress, that
in the fall of 1797, a letter was address
ed to Mr. Jefferfon: He was refped
fully reminded of his promise to pay
16 dolls, for the fucceding vol. He was
informed that the book was partly rea
dy for the press; but that the pestilence
had suspended all forts of business :
Thus I solicited the anticipation of the
performance of a voluntary promise.
If the reader chafes to call this the ask
ing ofa Loan,he is welcome : Mr. Jef
ferfon sent me 20 dolls ; so that he ex
ceeded his promise by the amount of 4
dolls. In February following when
the book was printed, he paid 25 dlls,
more : But this latter money was both
unsolicited and unexpt&ed by me : I
do not, in any part of this transaction,
perceive an extensive field for the exer
cise of gratitude. Mr. Jefferfon consid
ered that the books would be of service
to the republican taufe : He knew that,
if this cause was ultimately fuccefsful,
he would be the greater gainer by it :
he, therefore, advanced these and other
small firms of money, upon the fame
principles as he would have paid them
for a (hare in the James River Canal.
o .
Good news fr Mr. Jefferfon.
Capt. Findley who arrived at Phila
delphia, on the Ift inst. in 46 days from
Havre, informs, that the baggage of
Torn Paine,had arrived there from Par
is, and that he was hourly expected at 1
Havre, to fail for America. It was be
lieved he would take his passage in the
fliip Benjamin Franklin, who was to
^4 the day after Cant Findley; he
may, therefore, be daily expe&ed to
arrived in this asylum for the “ opprefr
ed" (that is convicts and outlaws) of all
nations.
When Mr. Pickering came to fit

was going to reside might be frightened
from their habitations at his approach,
from the terrible stories which they had
read in &t paper ofhis plundering the
public of their money, undertook to pre
vent their alarms, by informing them
that he was an honed man : ever since
which, he has remained an honest man,
till his fellow citizens have thought fit
to nominate him for their representa
tive. Now all his honesty vanishes a
gain - the Editor boldlv comes forward
Villi a fpecinc charge, ^nd tells us that
he did not “ take due care to forward
the stipulated payments to the Barbary
powers." He does not tell us what he
did with the money : of that we shall

SATURDAY, october o, 1802. -
From fenks' Portland Gazette.
tn our last we gave a ftateincut of the diftria
ing of Maine, for the choice of Federal Repre
sentatives, on the 1(1 of November next—
together with the nomination of those mod
likely to be eltifted, —If there is union and en
ergy with the friends of true American prin
ciples, as supported by such irreproachable char
a&ers as Washington, Adams, and their
co-patriots, there will be 00 reason to doubt
the success of the following
Federal Republican Ticket.
Kennebec, or Firfl D.fria
PHINEHAS BRUCE, Efg.
Lincoln, or Second Didria
Col. SAMUEL THACHER.
Cumberland, or Third Diftria
Gen. PELEG WADSWORTH.
York, or Fourth Dflria
Hon. JOHN LORD.
All those who are not willing to profrate
our national glory at the feet of a Virginia fac
tion, will fee the importance of Union in the
approaching election. The above ticket is dic
tated by the feelings of MANY.

We rejoice to find that the Federal Republi
cans of Pennsylvania have resolved to make a
Hand,and torefift the torrent of democracy that
has overrun that state—that they have deter
mined once moreo set up the able and worthy
James Ross, as a candidate for Governor,
against his Excellency Thomas M'KEAN, Esq
L.L.D.
The brilliant talents and extensive knowledge
which Mr. Ross last winter displayed, in the
Senate of the United States, on the fubjedl of
the repeal of he late Judiciary Aft, and of the
Internal Taxes, (hew the good feufe of the Fed
eral Republicans of Pennsylvania, in fixing on
him as a candidate for the place of Governor.
The miserable attempt of the Aurora co im
peach his character, on the fubjeft of the 500
dollars, secret service money, which palled thro'
his hands, proves the wretched fhifes to which
political malice is driven, to form grounds for
accusation against elevated and ufeful characters,
where they can find nothing but truth, honor,
and virtue. [N. Y.pap.

A letter from New-Orleans, of the date of

have had but one case of malignant fever. God
grant us a continuance of his favor.
“ We have had several arrivals in our river
from France and Spain, but from neither have
we received a word or a hint relative to the
government of this country. Mr.Jefferfon said
of you ' we are all republicans; all federalifts.'
As to us, we seem to be neither Dons nor Mon

An instance of Providential preservation oc
curred on Friday, 17th inst. As Mr. Smith,
son of Mr. W. T. Smith of Philadelphia, was
returning to his country feat on the Ridge
Road, his horse suddenly halted in consequence
of a flath of lightning. Finding it impossible
to urge him on, Mr. Smith alighted from his
chair, and taking the bridle from over his neck
led him on. They had proceeded but a few
paces in this manner, when a Second flalh of
lightening occurred, and instantly killed the
horse, while Mr. Smith remained uninjured.
What is very remarkable, a white glass bottle,
containing lead water,which was in Mr. Smith's
waiftcort pocket, was converted into a deep
blue colour. —

From an origin that honors the hulbandman
with his station in society at his death nruft be
drawn the character. A native honesty insured
him the confidence of all, and a found, investi
gating mind, enabled him to improve the efti.
mation in which he was held to his own, and
the welfare of others. Os a mild, benevolent,
and conciliating disposition, he gained the love
and affedions of his fellow men—As a man of
the world, he was open in his manner, and sin
cere in his profcffioi?s—Unwearied in applica
tion to business, he managed it with the dex

the friend, and charitable to the “ poor and nee

Corrodf, uniform, and puadual as a merchant,
in which character he fnone with a reputation
unsullied by a fault. In domestic life he was
truly beloved, for he possessed every quality
that could endear him to the objeas of his
natural affeaion. In him, the children weep
for their own loss, while a confutation is offered
that many Fathers have done well, but be excelled
