d>l they address themselves ? Was it to the
Judges in their private capacity, or was it
to 'fern as a Court, formed and opened tin
ker mhority of the new law r a Court
widen had given a charge to the Grand Ju
ry and had done various other a~?s apper
taining to their duty as such. Did they sup
pose the Judges had met as a Court, and had
undertaken to tranTa^ business as fitch,
without considering whether they had a le
gal exigence —The idea is too derogatory to
the understanding of the learned Judges to
be entertained a Single moment, by any man
of common fenfc---The object undoubtedly
Was to make out a blustering Newspaper
paragraph, and try the lafl effort of expiring
Federalism in fuppoit of their midnight Ju

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Liver

" A meeting has been held of the committee
of American merchants here to confider of the Att
of Parliament of 12th June, relating to the impor
tation of foreign produce in neutral vessels. We
lent you a copy of the Att on the io:h ult—The
following is their opinion of its meaning; as affefts
Cotten, Indigo, and Cochineal viz;
That Indigo and Cochineal may be imported
from the United States of America as heretofore,
in Sriciib, American, or other neutral veflels.
Tint Cotton, the growth of the United States
of America, may be imported as heretofore in
British and American vessels. ,
That Cotton of any growth rhay be imported
from the United States of America, as heretofore
in British ellels.•
That Cotton not the growth of the United
States of America, can only be imported for ex
portarou, coming in an American, dr other neu
tral veflels.
Yon will infer from this that it is not advifea
ble at prefect to ship any cotton not the growth
of the United States of America in any other than
a British vessel.
In the mean time it is proposed by the Ameri
can merchants to take such Iteps as may have a
tendency to place American vessels on the fame
footing with British veflels, but in this nothing
decisive can be done befo e the meeting of Parlia
ment, which will take place some time in Septem
ber."
A black boy about 12 years of age, belong
ing to Capt. Fuller in Harman-street, lately
purchased fixpeny-worth of arsenic at the
(tore of an apothecary, for the purpose, as he
said, of deftro)ing rats, and pretended that he
X%d by Capt. Fuller's orders. On Thurs
day morning, immediately after eating breaks
fad, Capt. Fuller and his family were seized
with sickness at the ffomach. Without en
tertaining any suspicion as to the cause, they
prepared a strong herb tea, which having
drank, the fitknefs became still mote violent.
On enquiry it was difeovered that the boy
having infufed into their breakfad the small
dose of arsenic he had purch ^d for fixpece,
and fearing that the efftfs were not likely to
be Efficiently powerful, had returned to the
apothecary, and obtained double the quantity,
which he contrived to mix with the herb tea
that had been prepared as an antidote. Med
ical affidance was called in, the usual reme
dies were applied ; and, though Capt. Ful
ler and his family remain ina very distressing
situation, we are given to underhand they
are all in a fairway of recovery.

FIRE!
It is with deep regret, that we record an unfor
tunate accident, which occurred in this town on
Saturday night sass—The Grist Mill of Ensign Jacob
Carter was on that ni^ht entirely consumed by
fire, together with the Carding Machirie of Mr.
Thomas Vesper.—The loss is very considerable,
both to the public and to several individuals—there
were j pair of hones under the roof, betides a
machine for grinding flax feed ; the thill had in it
about sixty bufhtels of rye, &c. belonging to Mr.
Carter, together with all Mr. Vesper's bread
corn—in the carding mill, were nearly fifteen hun
dred pounds of' wool—The loss is eflimated at
about 2000 dollars. But, it it With much pleasure
we mention, that a fubferiptfon paper was opened
yetlerday tor obtaining abidance to rebuild the
mills,&c. so far as we have heard, it has met with a
liberal encouragement.
The above fire is fuppbfed to have been canted
by over heating some of the gudgeons, as no fire
had been carried into the mill on that day.

It is but a few years since the Federal
ists, who had then a President of their own
" sea," and a majority in both Houses of
Congress, increased the duty on Salt to twen
ty cents a bushel ; and for fear left the Re
publicans on coming into power should re
peal of reduce this duty, the Federalists, on
the 7th of May 1800, palled a law continu
ing the duty on Salt ten years, that is, from
the third of March iß<>o to the third of
March 1810.—Yet now the Federalists are
abusing the Republicans for not repealing
this duty ! But the Feds are confident in on
ly one thing, which is, being inconfflent in
every thing! [True Am.

(landing the comtempt and indignation such
conduct must inspire, to observe the manner
in which the weekly and daily retailers of
feurrility and slander against the administra

the venomous and bitter fluff with which
they entertain their readers. It is true, the
chief part of this noxious ftredm may be
