FROM RUSSIA,,
Capt. Hopkins, who arrived here
on Sunday last from Raffia, informs—
That at the date of his failing there
from,he could not learn that any war
like preparations were making in the
Ruffian Empire :—That there had
been many reports of attempts to poi
son the Empress—one of which, it was
said had been difcovcred to be made
by several Frenchmen :— That, io
consequence an order of state had been
iffuedfor apprehending the conspirators
ten of whom had been taken—and
-for ponifhing with death every French
man who remained within the Empire
after a certain time—and, Capt. H.
brought therefrom three French gen
tlemen.
A vessel which arrived here onThurf
day, from Halifax brought an account
of several aftions being fought inFlan
ders between the French andAuttrians
in which the former were victorious.
As was our duty,our inquiries on the
{objeCt were many; the refuJc of which
is that the account can be no other
than a mifconftru&ion of thole on the
fubjed already published.
No intelligence of which it may
be mentioned, had previonfly arrived
at Halifax. We are confirmed in
this opinion by various circumstances
—The date of the London paper
which is said co have contained the
intelligence's May 2^— our accounts
direst from France are two days later
—and the assassination of Gen. Dillon
is related as an appendage of the ac
count. Our prayers and best withes
arc for the success of the Patriots of
France —But as much as we love them
we love the truth —and cannot fuffer
our friendship to operate the decep
tion of our readers. —-We ihall there
fore, wait until the account arrives
in a lets '.' questionable shape."
By letters from Cape-Francois we
learn, that the King of the French has
appointed Major-General Collot
Governor of Hifpaniola,in the room of
M. de Blanchelande, He is now
in the army, under the command of
Marshal de RochamAEAU,at Valen
ciennes, and served under him in the
last war in America.
The King has also appointed three
new Commissioners fo[ quietting the
troubles in that island. viz. M. Pol
vEßEL,one of the most eminent advo
cates at Paris,M.Santonna and M.
Chollet. The two firft have been
recommended by the Jacobins.
The accounts from the Weft-Indie,
begin to wear a more favorable afpeft.

CONCORD, July 13.

PLEASE to insert the following lift
as Representatives to Congress.
NICHOLAS GILMAN,
SAMUEL HALE,
N. PEABODY,
JAMES SHEAFE.
MR^ Ranlet,
AMONG the various lifts of per
10ns held up to view, as proper to
represent this State in Cbogrefs, 1 am
happy to find the Hon. NICHOLAS
GILMAN and JEREMI AH SMITH,
Efq'rs. are generally thought of, as I
am persuaded from the belt informati
on 1 have been able to obtain, that the
State of New-Hamplhire will not be
likely to eled Men of more abilities,
integrity and political information.—
As I have always thought it of the last
importance to have firm, hoceft, well
informed men to represent this State
in Congress, 1 have been particularin
my enquiries refpc&iog the condu& of
MefPrs GILMAN and SMITH, and
am happy to fay, that I was lately in
formed by an Honorable Member of
Congress from a neighbouring State,
that they were very rcfpe&able Mem
bers, that their sentiments and opini
ons were much attended to, and that
they were frugal of the public Money
as any Members in Congress, without
exception.— This being droped from
a gentleman whom they had uniformly
opposed in a favourite point, viz. the
Assumption of the State Debts, it had
no incoufiderable weight in my mind.
In addition to all this, it is well known
that Mr. GILMAN has uniformly
opposed direct Taxes and Handing
Armies, and it is as wcil krewn that
Mr. SMITH, though a younger Mem
berin Congress, is a gentleman of
abilities, integrity and firmnrfs, and
that his, as well as Mr. GiLMAN's
connexions are peffefled of a large
landed intereff,this will naturally draw
their attention to that great object.—
It is from the land we derive all the
necessaries and many of the conveni
ences oflife, and it must be obvious to
every candid mind, that the inrereft of
the State will be more promoted by a
lax on luxuries that we can do without,
than by a Tax on lands which have so
often caused the poor Man to part with
his latt Bed and Cow. —It may be fur
ther worthy of remark, that men who
have been in Congress, and have ac
quainted themselves with public bufi
nefs,%ith the different characters, views
and political systems of the Members,
will be more competent to serve the
interest of the State, than Grangers to
the business, though their abilities may
be the fame —I therefore hope that the
freemen of New- Hampshire will give
their vote, for Meff'r. GILMAN and
SMITH, and that they will be two
of the four Who Ihall represent this
State in the next Congress.
