Bennington, Sept. 28. The rational
' exultation of Americans should be,
that we have a government strong in
the people's love, bent on economy
and uprightness, and determined to
steer clear of the jarring politics of
monarchy and despotism.
There is a report prevalent that a
late treasonable conspiracy has been
difeovered in Upper Canada, on which
account several Americans are in con
finement. The confirmation or refu
tation of this report will appear, no
doubt, in a few days.
Norwich, (ConJ Sept. 23. Some time
in the year 1798, Mr. Charles Barker,
son of MfcSie phen Barker of this city,
of which carried a howitzer or czrronade. The
enemy appear to have expeded a second attack,
and to have been prepared for it. They had
thrown op frefh works, and had sent a large re
inforcement of frefh troops into the town. As
soon as our divisions approached fufficieotly
near the (bore, a tremendous fre of grape and
round (hot was opened upon them from the gun
vessels and shore batterift The former had
between i and zoo men on board each, & were
well covered by flanking batteries of mortars.
Troop, three deep, lined the shore for three
miles. Our brave failOTs advanced to the at
° tack with their usual steadiness and courage, a
midst this heavy fire, and boarded the enemy's
gun vessels. Great fl lughterenfued ; but the
decks of federal of the enemy's goo vessels were
cleared, and the Chips taken possession of, but
they could not be got off. The enemy had
taken the precaution of chaining their gun
boats to each other head and stern ; interme
diate chains also fattened them to the shore.—
While our gallant countrymen were unavail,
ingly trying to get them loose, they were expos
ed to a dreadful discharge of grape (hot, (hells,
and mufk^ry At length they were forced to
retire, bringing with them one lugger-rigged
vessel. Our readers may form feme opinion of
the carnage, from the loss which this lugger
^experienced— of 70 men, 14. only were left alive
—and most of these were wounded.
Our loss in killed and wounded is estimated
at about 200 men. Capt Parker, of the Me
dusa, a most excellent officer, had his leg and
thigh (hot off; the Matter of the Medusa was
dreadfully wounded ; the zd lieut. and other
officers, were also wounded, and about 30 men
in Lord Nelson's ship.
Newyork, &,. 22. Capt. Paine, who ar
rived at this port yesterday from Gibraltar, in
forms us that on the 6th of August (the da,be
fore he left Malaga) he was boarded by the U.
S. frigate Philadelphia, Samuel Barron com
mander, who Was waiting tor the Tripolitan
cruisers at that time in Gibraltar to come out.
The officers and crew of the frigate were all
well, and in high spirits, cherishing the hope
of fpeedi!y making a prize of the Barbarians.
On the Bth of August, the day on which the
Aftrea reached Gibraltar, a mutiny broke out
on board the Tripolitan vessels, occasioned by
the want of provisions— About 150 of the sea
men deserted, and bad landed, when they were
seized by the Governor, and put on board a
Moorish vessel, which departed immediately for
Tetuao. The Situation of the Scotch Renega
do, who commandeed the fleet, is thus render
ed desperate. The brig of 18 guns is difman
tied; and he has only about 40 men on board
his own (hip, exclusive of officers. In Gibraltar
it is conjectured that he will not dare to return
to Tripoli ; but that he will dispose of his ves
sel, and bid adieu to Mahomet.
The departure of R. R. Livingston
on the embassy to Paris, will take
place about the ift of October. Mr.
Dawson's mission terminated on the
delivery of the Treaty. Os confer
quence, as there was no competent of#
ficial character then at Paris, the Trea
ty has not been forwarded to the Unit
ed States, this, it is presumed, may be
to be done by our ambaflador after
his arrival in France.

MR. RUSSELL,
SOME infamous wretch, who scrawls in the
Dartmouth Gazette, under the signature of
Now- Angiicus, has filled a column and an half
with low inveaive against the President of the
United States, and of the Government—This
communication, for glaring falfhood, for mean
feurrility and dirty vulgarity, exhibits some
thing beyond what we have yet seen in the fed
eral papers, where publications of this nature
are expeded. As a specimen, you are requeu
ed to insert in the Republican Gazette the fol
lowing extrads:
" When ajeries of depredations have ban commit
ted b, the Chief Magiflrate, upon the rights of the
People, agaioft which gentle remonfrances have been
effired with no avail, tbp are autborifed to f„ak
with the voice of thunder, and challenge a redress
at the point of the sword."
'' Ajk of bit brother Frenchmen what bit religion
it; the, will tell you that be prof/ffa the Jublime
doarinu of the profound and metaphysical Stu
pro ;- — Ask of Tea Paine, and be will tell,on that
it it identically bit own, which it none at all. —
Were he ,off' °f '"' J,ark of religion, would be
have maintained afociations with a nation of pro
feffed infidels ? Light bath no communication with
darkness, nor Christ wi+b Belial; why then relig
ion with infidelity ?"
" What /ball we ya, of Albert Gallatin, one of
the Prefdent's chief Miuifers and Privy Council
lors ? Shall we fay, that to save bit life, be was
compelled to fee bit country, on account of the enormi
ty of crimes ? Shall we fa, that the vagabond, hav
ing landed on our fhotes, ragged and lou„, took bis
course to Harvard UnivOrfty, and offered himfelf as
an irfruaor of the Italian language ; and when by
the charity of (be benevolent fludents bis necessities
were answered, and bis pockets /applied with money,
be took to bis heels, and fed into the State of Virgi
nia, where be opened a fcbool for infruaing in the
principles of infidelity, and of despising all law both
jacred and divine ? We jay it, and truth confirms
our words— Such is the Pref dent, and fueb bis par
tizans." Thus far the extrads.
To the writer of such sentiments, garbed in
such language, no gentleman can condescend
to make any remarks, however anxious to sup
port the Government, and to diffufe corred o
pinions refpeding the present adminiftratioo.
He appears to be too ignorant to reason with;
and his composition too low for comment, and
too abusive for reply. Such fluff pollutes even
the Dartmouth Gazette.

voyage up the Straits of Gibraltar.-—
Soon after failing, the fchr. upset in a
squall, and the people were taken off
the wreck by a brig from Newyork to
Cadiz. On arriving off Cadiz the
port was blockaded by a fquadroa of
English men of war, one of which (the
Edgar, 74) brought the brig to, and
forcibly detained the whole of the ship

of a letter from Mr. Barker, dated ,

0 Surely, if flagitious publications ever called
for a Sedition Lira;, in this country, they are
those which are continually difgorgiog from
certain presses against the Adminiftrafion—We
are particularly lorry, (nay astonished) to fee
a most bitter piece of this kind, gaining circu
lation thro' the Dartmouth Gazette, in which
the writer is for rallying the minions of disor
ganization, to oppose the President with the
"point of the Sword !" But our furprize in,
creases, when we find the Printer of that paper,
(for the good intentions of whose heart we had
cherished refpea) soliciting " further favors"
from " Novo Anglian," while at the fame time
he owns some of his observations are too high
feafoned with "federal pepper !" How the au
thor or Printer can antwer to an honest coa
fcieoce, thus fowiog the S,M^ treason and Se.
ditto, is best known to themselves—Do they
thick they are Supporting Religion, Order, &
the Honor of the Country, by representing the
present administration, legally constitute d by
the Voice of a Constitutional Majority, as a
parcel of " loufj, inf del vagabonds /" ,
Let no Sedition law touch him ; but let him
and his coadjutors remain as " monuments of
the fafefy with which error of opinion may be
tolerated, where reason is left free to combat it.
A gentleman from Ulster county,
brings the following account c4kan un^
natural murder:— A Mrs Devoo, who
had been insane, desired her husband
to go and fee whether the wolves were
not among the Sheep. During his
absence, she killed three of her chil
dren by inhumanly cutirig their throats,
and then destroyed herfelf in the fame
way. Her eldest son was returning
home, and perceiving his mother just
dispatching the last of the three chil#
dren, ran to alarm the nedreft neigh
bor. / On their arrival at the house,
they found them all dead, and welter
ing in their blood! [N. Y,pap.
