APPOINTMENTS-
On Thursday the Ijth infl.thehon. John
Laofing, jun. was appointed Chief Justice
ot this State—ar.d Richard Harrifon, Esq.
to the office of Recorder of thii city.
r.OMVV A ICATION.
IN the late interview between Buona*
parte and the French Executive Direflory
the Citizen Miniiler of foreign affairs, who
presented him, told the General " that a
new eoemy was calling on him. Let the
genius of Buooaparte make him soon expi
ate his hatred and tyranny, and diSate to !
tl t tyrants of the sea, a peace worthy ot j
the of the French of Republic."
Buonaparte then delivered to the Presi
dent, the Emperor's ratification of the
treaty, and nmenj other things, said,
" V his peace fiemtt the liberty, the pros
perity, and the glory of the Republic."
An orator who not long before made a
fpeech before the assembled Dire£lory, tho't
d.fferently. He declared no at the
defireof the Direftory, " that the govern
ment of Great Britain and that which pre
vails in France, i*ere incompatible, a;.d
could not both exist."
•c _ Buonaparte, however, persists in think
ing otherwise. He adds, and his words are
remarkable, " When the happiness of the
French people (hall be firmly fettled on the
basis of the bell and wisest laws, all Europe
wit be fret." Not one word does he men
t'on of the pr®pofed conquefl—but, concei
ving that under the present government of
France, the laws are not the btjluni ivifeft —
and clJnfeqiiently that freedom cannot be
fciiu exist there as it does in England,
1 where the public felicity and individual
fafety depend on known and not on
the variable caprices of men—he widles a
change, and hopes, that when peace is once
efkblifhed, and France freed from the pre
sent revolutionary tyranny, not only (lie,
but all Euroe will be free; that is, frttd
from the defp'otie, unwarranted interferen
ces, of the terrible jrepubiic, in the domestic
affairs of the refpe&tve nations of Europe.
After having atchieved the conquell of
Italy, made peace with the Emperor, and
guaranteed by solemn treaty, the exigence
( ot the New Italian Republic, he seems to
think of refling from his labours—He does
not incline to ijtep across the channel and o
remin England. The DireSory, however,
it othwwife disposed.
,f Citizen Generaf!" fays Barras the
President, " crown so glorious a career by a j
coitfpieft which the nation owes tt> its out- j
raged dignity. Gol—and by the pnnifh- t
Bient you inflift on the cabinet of London,
ftrilje terror into all governments which shall
dare to doubt the power of a nation of Free
men, of Frenchmen, which are only fy
noniimous terms. Go!—puni(h in London
crimes which have remained unpnnilhed too <
long. Numerous votaries of Liberty wait ,
your arrival. You will find no enemy but ,
vice and wickedness? .They alone support (
that prefidious government. Strike it ,
down !—and let its downfall inform the ,
wotld, that if the French people are the ,
benefjßors of Europe, they are also the a- ]
ve»J;tTB of the rights of Nations I" ;
A ftonHhing flonfenfe ! c
'I he Citizen General is to find no enemy f
but vice a»d -wickedness, supporting the Bri- j
ti(h government. 300,000 men in arms c
for the protection of their property
froim the fraternal embrace—men who have f
much to lose, who dread the contribution- T
ary fcenet of Belgium, Bavaria, Italy, &c. ]
and who prefer the liberty they sow enjoy to
thai, proposed for them by a nettion of freemen
t—t'-hefe, with nineteen twentieths of the
people, are, according to citizen Barras,
a mass of wickedness and vice ! and the par
ricides who, to rife into importance, would
do anything, however villainous and atro
cious, are of course the venerable, estimable i
phalanx of votaries to liberty ! v
Buonaparte had too much good sense not 1
to fe.; the ixceflive fc'ly of all this high- t
flown bombadic (luff—and was silent. I
" Let the downfall of the British Gov- '
ernmeiit announce to the world that the d
French people are the benefactors of Eu- fc
rope !" t
Ihe downfall of other governments h»3 ]
clearly evinced this—it is unnecessary per- }
haps that England (hould know it by expe- v
rience. The excessive exa£lions upon Belgi- e
um—Holland—parts of Germany—ltaly ii
Portugal—end other countries, can fuffici
ently tell what f«rt ofbeneJaMors this l nation
of freemen are ! They know England is t
rich, and that Buonaparte is no bad hand o
at collecting money, ttatues, and pidures e
Hence they want him over there to liberate
the people—not so much from the tyranny
of government as from the gold of which
this freejl but not richtfi nation 011 Earth C
Hands so much in need.

PEELING. t
At Card's Mills, in the town of Fairfield, u
Herkimer county, a duel was lately fought ti
between Mr. Levi Whipple and Mr. Hardy p
ti>e former upwards of 60, and the latter o
much ftort of 50 years of age. The dispute t;
•riginatcd from fame trivial circumstance e
over a friendly bowl ; andfo impetuous were n
their passions, that not haying pistols handy a
they agreed to make use of muskets ! The w
ground being appointed, they repaired to h
it immediately, each armed wish d"Mnlket. p
u.d attended b,y a second. Having agreed b
t
• f I upon the moJk nf figkt-rg fwh'cb wps that
' J tbey should turn b. ck to back, flep off a
certain nun.ter of paces to their refpe&ivc
t llations, come to the right about a»d Jrt)
they proceeded to decide the eonteft : But
though a lucky mijlaie of Mr Whipple or
his second, his picje was only half cocked;
and, fortunately, Mr. Hardy's did not go
off, though (he slashed in the pan ! The fe
„ conds then interfered and dtffuadcd them
from renewingthe combat. Thus we fee that
the caprice of fafhion even in Old age, will
fanflion the unautborifed laws of honour,
and create exceptions t« divine prohibi
tions.

ACURIOUS STONE MOUI.D
For running musket and rifle bullets, was
found in digging a well, near 30 feet below
the furfact of the earth, at Cox's town, four
miles from this borough, a few days finceJ
It it remarkable to a refledting mind, how
such a curiosity could have been deposited
there, as it lay several feet under a folidrock, 1
thro which the Workmen were obliged to
penetrate, to procure water. A (peftator

there were no muflfrtj, he thought it' proba

Capt. Smith, of rhe (loop Caty, from
New-York, last from Norfolk, informs that
on the 17th of January last, in the latitude
of Currituck Inlet, he spoke the Britifti
vessel of war, Porcupine, bound into the
Chesapeake ; as a very high sea was run
ning, which prevented a boat palling, he '
■ ran under her stern, and was informed by an '
officer that they were J2 days from Eng

allowed Ameriu-a fix months to fettle the '

Citizens of the Wijlern Country be upon your

It has long been fufpefled and believed,
and even partially known, by the friends of E
order and good government in this country, »
that many of you have been grossly imposed I(
upon by certain of your representatives at c '
the feat of government, and that t! e small "
portion of tt'ue and uncoirtipted infomiati
on, which you have been able at this dif- tj
tance to obtain from thence, has been deni- ti
ed or misrepresented by the letters and state- fu
ments which they have transmitted to yon, d
and that the privilege of franking, which
was intended to convey ufeful information, in
has been mod wickedly prostituted to this J- (

, even reiterating that charge, reprefercting
him as combining witfi foreign courts for
d the purpose of Overthrowing the present go

t in its place—iniinuating that the inflrudi-
Ic ous of our envoys extraordinary werefram
!c ed, in contemplation of that event, for the
t purpose of treating with a royal government
and not with one of a republican farm,
. thereby implying that ft is the fault of the
, American adminiftratiou and not of that of
s the French, that our envoys have not been
a properly received—that the President is car
e rying on a secret negociation with the Bri
f tifh court—that the Secretary of State is
- implicated and the mod guilty in Blount's
plot asserting that the Britifli minitter, Mr.
Lifton, v. hose conduct has been uniformly
candid and refpe&ful towards our govern
ment and the people since his arrival in the
