PROCLAMATION.
The CONSULS of, the REPUBLIC, TO Ti E
FRENCH,
Frenchmen,
FROM the bosom of a revolution, inspired by a
love of the country, religious diflentions sprung
suddenly amongst you, which became the fconrge
of your families, the fuel of faction; and the hopx
of your enemies,..
Au inconsiderate polity attempted to smother
them under the ruins of the altars, even under the
ruins of religion itfelf. At its voice ceased the
pious solemnities where citizens used to call each
other by the tender name of brother; and acknow
ledged themselves all equals under the hand pf the
God who created them ; the dying, abandoned to
his fofferings, bratd ng more that consoling voice
which calls Chri^ians to a better life'; and God
Wmfelf seemed exiled from nafuret
But the public conference artd the sentiment of
the independence of opinions, rose np in arms,
and, encouraged by our exterior enemies, their ex
plolion soon spread devaluation in our depart
ments ; some Frenchmen forgot they were French
men, and becamf'tliif ihllruments of a foreign ha
tred. #
On the other hand, passions let loose, unprotect
ed morals, unhappihefs without a hope in the fu
ture^alj combined to throw Society into disorder.
. to ftop'that disorder it became necessary again
to set religion on its balls ;.andthis could not be
accornplifhed otherwise than by measures avowed
bv religion itfelf.
Reason and the example of part ages recom
mend having recourse to the Sovereign Pontiff, in
order to unite hearts and reconcile 'opinions.
The head* of the Church has- weighed in his wis
dom, and for the interest of the Church, the pro
portions which the interest of the State has dicta
ted. His voice has been heard by the ministers of
religion : What he approves of, the government
agrees to ; and the Legislators Hive made it alaw
of the Republic.
In this manner every element of difeord disap
pears , and all scruples which cat alarm the con
feieoce, and all the obstacles which malevolence
could oppose to the return of internal peace have
vanished.
Ministers of a religious peace, let the most pro
found oblivion cover your difations, your mif
fortunes and your faplts; Let that religion which
unites you, attach you all by the fame ties, by in
dissoluble ties, to the interefls of the country !
Display for her all the strength and influence your
ministry gives yon over the mind, let your lessons
and examples inculcate in our young citizens tpf
love of our mAitutions refoe& ^d attachment for
the tutelary authorities which have been created
to protest them. Let them learn from you that
the God of Peaceis al^ the God of the Armies,
and that He fights for those who defend the inde
pendence and the liberty of France.
Citizens who profefs the Protestant religion, the
law has equally extended £o you its solicitude.
Let that morality which is common to all Chris
tians, that only, pure and fraternal morality,
unite them all in the fame love for the country, in
the fame refpe& for its laws, in the fame affection
foralkhe members of the Great Family.
I;et no struggles of Do&rine ever alter thofefen
t/mentp which Religion inspires and commands.
Frehthmen 1 Let us all be united for the happi
refs oflhe country and of humanity. Let that re-
Jigion which has civilized Europe become again the
bond of union to draw closer the afleltlon of its
Inhabitants, and let the virtues it requires be al
ways associated with the knowledge with which it
enlightens us. n
The First Consul, (Signed) BONAPARTE.
Paris, April 18 This morning, at fix o'cl%L
Conformably to public notice, a difeharge of Co
gons, announced the promulgation of the Law on
Worship—After the distribution of Colours, by
the firft Consul, to several battallions, the proces
sion began to move from the Palace of the Jhuille
ries. It Was almoß noon before the carriage of
the firft consul in which were the two other con
suls, could get out of Palace yard. Every where,
on his paflage, the firft consul received the congra
tulations of an immeufe croud of people in all di
rections. On his return from Notre-Dame, the
fame testimonies of public acknowledgement ac
companied him to the Palace of 1 btiilleries. It
is a great length of time since Paris offered a spec
tacle altogether so imposing and majetlic aS that
which its inhabitants have this day witnessed.
Yesterday the First Consul ratified the definitive
treaty pf Peace between the Republic and his Bri
taniiic Majesty. The refpedive ratifications were
exchanged this day, Sunday at 9 0 clock in the
morning.

t&|Q^fyh>^r —
Portsmouth, June 8, 1802.
All we hear from Concord is that John
T. Gilman is re-elected Governor of this
state, by a majority of about 1500 votes—
that John Prentice, Efa. is chosen Speaker
of the House of Representatives—that John
Calfe, Esq. is chosen clerk, and Nathaniel
Wear, assistant clerk—and that the vacan
cies in the Senate were filled by Seth Pay
son, Esq. for diftri+l No. 9, and Ezra
Peirce, Esq. for diftria No. 10.
That portion of our paper which is devoted to
the Governor's introductory fpcecb to the Legisla
ture is well filled. We hope we (hall not be accu
sed of an adulatory Spirit, when we express the
pleasure we felt on perilling it. It is couched in
the language <ve have frequently used : and is as
mild and conciliatory as could be desired. It is
quite time this country was trantylized. In the
difoofition this address has exhibited, we hope
soon to realize that entire harmony of sentiment
and conduct, m the refpeftive Rates, which (hall
ensure and perpetuate to the United States the
invaluable blessings of civil and religious liberty ;
and enable 11s, under our present republican con-
Riturion, wifely and frugally adminifteredffafely
to fleer the vessel in which we are all embarked,
atnidft the conflicting elements of a troubled
world." [Chronicle.]
FROM GUADELOUPE—To May 12.
Capt. Gemmels, of the schooner Heitor, arrived
at New-York, from Guadeloupe, informs, that on
the sth May, a fleet appeared off the harbour when
jthe town was cleared, and every preparation made
[to receive the French. The next day tour fri
gates, a cutter, and four transports entered the
harbour-—Gen. Pelage received Gen. Richepaufe
with military honors ftlrrendeted the place, and
the black troops grounded their arms. The fe
!cond ih command, however, made a Hand at
IBMTeterre ; on the 12th May, at midnight the
Itown of Basseterre and some plantations were feeri
I on fire ; and a heavy difeharge of cannon and final]
arms heard ; which continued with little intermis
sion until the failing of the Heftor, no vessel being
I permitted to enter. Gen. Pelage was sent on
board one of the frigates on the fecund day alter
their arrival.
Capt. Gemmels further informs, tMt the name
of Port de la Liberty is changed to that of Point
Petre ; and that, as it refpe&ed American and
other neutral vessels, notice had been given that
the conduct of the government would be similar
to that usually adoped before the Revolution.
Accounts from Cape-Francois, are to the 19th
ultimo ; when every thing was tranquil.—Touif'
Ifaint had surrendered on the terms announced in
IGen. Le Clerc's letter to him. The most interest
-ling articles from this quarter is, 66 That fix thou
sand troops had palled the Cape, in a squadron
I defined to take possession of Louisiana."
IA gentleman from New-Orleans mentions, that
I the Spaniards there were in daily expectation of
I the arrival of a force and government from Fiance,
Ito take possession of that rich and delightful
country.
lAccounts from France exprefsjy contradict the
report, that the river Scheldt was to be again
shut up. The navigation of that river is to re
main free and unshackled from any reftriftions
Iwhatever.
IThe new French Confu,ls for Rhode-lfland and
Georgia, have arrived at New-York.
The U. S. frigate Adams, is under failing ot-
Iders at New-York, for the Mediterranean.
IThe President of the United States has arri
i ved at the feat of Government, from Monticello.
IGen. David Meriwether, is elected a member of
the house of representatives in Congress, in the
room of Benjamin Taliaferro, Esq. resigned.
About ,40 booksellers attended the New-York
fair on Tuefday last. Mr. Hugh Gain was chosen
chairman, and Mr. Matthew Carey, Secretary of
the meeting.
In this country nothing is wanting but prudence,
economy, industry and a proper use of the various
means which Providence, jo its bounty has lavished
in such abundance upon it ; and we mail certainly
:become as happy and as free as any other people
of the whole earth.

WHEREAS there is a wolf in theep's cloth
ing allowed to run at large, in the character
of a justice ; he has by his howling frighted,
and by his claws injured, every one worth
notice that fell in his way. To mirnick
men, he had obtained a watch, and for want
of honor like such animals he was obliged
to pawn it. You may guard yourselves
against said wolf by being destitute of money
and handsome wives—the fubferiber has not
only loft money but character by being de
ceived in his eloathing. This fame animal
is well acquainted with forging or counter
feiting receipts, to cheat honeit men out of
their rights. He is a great lover of women
and we hear that the wife of a certain in
habitant of this town was hard bitter by the
froft in warm weather, so that the innocenc
man hq.hufband loft his whole estate and
broke up. the family. A ream of paper
would not contain all his faults ; to conclude
an old mare has drawn bis attention.
