THE NEW BANK.
Yesterday afternoon, a vote passed in the
House of Representatives, without a division,
in favor of incorporating the New-Hamp
shire Union Bank ; which was immediately
sent to the Senate, and concurred without a
division in that branch.
THEATRICAL.
We underfiard that Messrs. Baker and
Hughes, (affifled by a number of Gentlemen
and ladies of the town) have in reberfal, and
will soon be brought forward, the tragedy of
“ George Barnwell ; or the London Ap
prentice." This excellent tragedy, being
calculated solely as an example to youth, we
presume and doubt not, will, as it ought, -pro
duce a rejpeflable and crowded audience.
There is not perhaps a finer eulogium on record,
than that of the British minister, Ld. Hawkefbury,
on Mr. Jeferfon's policy. & For some months pad
(fays he) that government has (hewn a disposition
very friendly. But it any interests should clash
between the two governments, he made no doubt
that America would resolutely assert her rights."
It is certain that the trade of these dates, during
the late war, has been of more service in support
ing the declining power of the British govern
ment, than any other circumflance ; and of this
truth the prefect miniUry in England appear to be
fully feniible.
“ FEDERALISM, UNMASKED."
Let those who Kill adhere to the federa
-1&, and think their objects honorable, read
<h6 following paragraph from a London pa
pefr. , ..
^ From our correspondents in America,
From late London papers.
There is 8 years pay due to the crew of
the Chip Suffolk, of 74 guns, just arrived
from the Eaft-lndies. The crew are imme
diately to be paid when each man will re
ceive 1901. Veiling.
Lord Whitworth is on the eye of depar
ture for France. His baggage is all em
barked and ready to be shipped. The
French government has given orders that
they (ball be exempt from search on their ar
rival.
The diffblution of Parlaiment, it is said,
will take place after the king's birth-day.
The price of bread has experienced a con
siderable diminution ; it now fells for rod
the 4 lbs.
Our journals pretend to fay, that M. Otto
is named minister plenipotentiary to the U
nited States of America. This nomination
would not fail being agreeable to Madame
Otto, to whom it would give the opportuni
ty of once more feeing her native country :
— (he was born at Philadelphia.
The price of sugar lalt week was Ji 19s

Extras of a letter from an American gentleman
"in (a,e Francois, to his friend in this city, dated
May io, 1802.
" In the Gazette of the United States, of
the 12th of April, I read a voluminous let
ter, dated Cape Francois, 22d March, 1802,
recurved per the fchoontr Regulator, which
contains a number of comments upon the
captain General of St. Domingo, couched in
the molt abusive language, and calculated to
alarm the mind of the people in America,
and induce them to believe that the molt in
iquitous conduct has been used by the French
Government towards the Americans, since
the arrival of Gen. Le Clerk ; this letter
was accompanied with every circumstance
the writer could collea to establish that
opinion, which poffefled any truth, and crow
ded with a number of falfehoods, as flagi
tious and infamous as untrue —it is difficult
for me to conceive the cause of this splenetic
rage against the government, unless it was
either to give a Specimen of his writing, or
to cover some great speculation to this place
lor his friends.
" Peace is again restored to the colony—
Touffant&Chriftophe have surrendered with
their armies, and the houses are rebuilding
fall, and we may hope to fee in a reasonable
time the Cape resuming its ancient splendor.
" The duties on dry goods except the
manufactures of France, are fubje& to a du
ty of 20 per cent which will naturally pre
vent the importation of many goods of that
description, but I can aflure you that pro
perty is as fafe here as in America, and I
am well convinced that the property of
Americans will be protested."
Extras of a letter from Lexington, Kentucky, da
ted Blay 10, 1802.
" The Louisiana country being in the
hands of the French will,! think, make a
favourable change in our trade to New-Or
leans. The nonfence of their coming to
claim the country as far as Pittfburg its too
ridiculous to be seriously thought of. The
people of this country are as good soldiers
for the country they possess as the oldest ve
terans in Bonaparte's army ; and however
we may have prefered the politics of France
to the politics of England, we never shall
submit to the force or intrigues of either."
Some time ago, certain prints exulted ve
ry loudly at the apparent indifference with
which the President's message at the opening
of the last session of Congress was received
in the English papers. Accident has thrown
in our way the Cambridge Intelligencer of
January 23, 1802, from which we extrad
the following remark as a comment on those
exultings. [Aurora.
" We beg leave to recommend to the at
tentive perusal of every one of our readers,
the address of the American President to the
legislative bodies, recorded in our last page.
It has been the common, and too just re
mark of political writers in general, that
government naturally lead to despotism, and
that executive authorities have need of con
tinual checks to prevent an abuse of power.
In America, however, we have an excep
tion. There we behold the novelty of the
firft magistrate deviling plans for the securi
ty and extension of public liberty, for more
effectually guarding against corruption and
improper influence in the executive depart
ment, lessening the public expences, dimin
ifbing taxes ; for encouraging the freedom
of the press, and for cultivating those arts
and pursuits which tend molt effectually to
promote the peace, the welfare, and the
happiness of the human race. Amidit the
corruption in which the European govern
ments are involved, the virtuous mind when
contemplating that of America, finds some
relief. Should the American legislature
bring to maturity the plans suggested by the
President a fort of Millenium in government
will commence. May God in his mercy to
mankind render the work prosperous."
