'PEACE
»ftWtRIG@ and TOUSSAINT.
I#U^ d a letter nfod at Phil&phia.
' " Two o, three days before our departure from
the Cape, news had arrived there of peace haying
taken place between TouiCaiut Louverture and
Rigaud. .y>
" Toufiaint's forces, under the command of
Gen. Decline, having captured Arquin, and got
possession of Rigaud's portmaotua and papers, by
which they became^cquainted with his real liqua
tion (wlwch he had hitherto found means to keep
'concealed from them) they determined on pushing,
forward, With all possible dispatch, to Aux Cayes,
before he could receive any supplies of ammuni
tion aud provisions, of which his army was much
in want.
Rigaud fbund himfelf so closely pursued, and
perceiving tome unfavourable movements in his
own army, and fearing they might declare open
ly against him, determined at lad, if possible, to
accommodate matters with Touflaint. He ac
cordingly sent a depotation to hi,m, to let him
know his intentions: They were well received,
but Touffaint would agree to no other terms than
'that Rigaud Giould immediately depart from the
Island ; which Rigaud was finally forced to ton
fent to.
" On the second inst. Gen. Moyfe, commanding
at the Ope, received official letters from General
Tooffaint, informing him of these tranfaftions,
and that bt, Touiffaint, was then on hit road to
Aux-Cayes.
<6 The Augusta brig, the Trumbull, and the
Herald, (loops of war, are cruizing near the Aux
Cayes.' It is to be hoped that Rigaud will fall in
with some one of them."
COMMERCIAL.
^xtrafi of a letter from the American Consul in
London, received by the Argo, arrived at foflon.
“A number of neutral vessels bound to and from
Cadiz, have been captured by British cruizers and
sent in for. adjudication. One was boarded by a
a King's ship and fuffered to proceed—then by a
privateer and warned not to go into Cadiz. In
attempting afterwards to get in, she was detained
by another privateer for adjudication. These cap
tures ffi made under an idea that Cadiz was in
a fete of blockade. The King's advocate, being
desired to give an opinion thereon, gave the fol
lowing: - „
“ The port -of Gad'zhas not (so far as I am in,
formed) been notified by out government to for
eign powers to be in a state of blockade. Ameri
can vessels, therefore, attempting to enter that
port,will not be constable, unless they shall have
been previously warned not to proceed thither,
- and the port be at the time actually blockaded. 1
know no instance in which th€ queflion has arisen,
whether -warning by a privateer, is a fufficient pro
hibition not to proceed. But 1 incline to think,
that, as the vefel, after foch a notice, would
knowingly attempt to enter, the penalty would be
incurred. If, however, the vessel from having.
been just examined by a King's ship, had reason
to doubt the truth and authority of the warning
from the privateer, (he might possibly be warrant
ed in proceeding towards the port in order to en
quire more accurately into the faft of the block
ade. Upon this point the question is so far new
and doubtful that I think the captor would be
jellified in submitting it to the decision of a com'
petent tribunal. J. NICHOLL.

" A severe battle has been fought between the
Taways. and Chippaways, through miftake.+-
Those two tribes had agreed to join their forces in
a war contemplated against the Chickasaws. - In
forming a junction in the night, thetwo armies
each miftaging the other, for the enemy (the
Chickafaus) a bloody battle ensued which- Lifted
a considerable time, until by their different lan
guages they discovered their mistake. The
wounded are taken to Fort Maffack, near which
place the battle was fought."

Republican n/tt (papers have became the objteft
of the mbit virulebuand abusive attacks by the
wh<Qe federal ariftoftatic junto. ,
Iris perceived that these channels of public In,
formation, these vehicles of wholesome advice to a
free people, are defined speedily to overthrow
the plans, and effectually destroy the machination
and political deligus of the advocates of monar
chy in the United States.
For some time the federal prefles reigned tri
umphantly, and moulded the public feufamept in
exaft conformity to the wishes ot those who were
the leaders of the party.-
The conductors of newspapers of this character
were flattering themselves with the absolute prof
peft of Incests, and that it was scarcely possible in
the order of events that any serious opposition
could be made, or the deftruftive nature of their
plots deteQed.
Various causes combined in their operation to
rouse the spirit, and inereafe the attachment to
republican freedom.•
The Aurora assailed the ariflocratic junto, ex
posed their base designs, hnd revived the Number
ing spirit of America. This example was follow
ed by many other editors—the people felt the im
pulse, ajaked from their political lethargy, and a
great national change was discovered, which in its
progress, threatened ultimate ruin to Che vile
plans of the aristocrats. 1 -- T.
The rapidity of the progress, and the present
certainty or Nrohg probability of its final issue,
has called down the vengeance of the enemies of
repu^licanifm, and they now endeavour to depift
in the mod horrid colours, the conduct and char
acter of'democracy, of republican presses and
printers, and every person and character who is
Willing to contribute towards the preservation of
our national liberty. Watch-Tower.
