ST. CROIX,-rSeveral agents and faßors to
merchants in the United States, and resident mer
chants at St. Croix, have petitioned the British
commander of that IQand, to give leave for the
exportation of Sugar to the amount of certain
debts. The commander agreed. The petition
ers observe, in their memorial, " From local cir
cumfUnces the ill and of St. Croix is as muchde
pendant on the United States for its diurnal sub
sistence, as the infant at the breast of its mother ;
and however strong the coraparifon may appear,
it is not the kfs true."

MURDER OF PAUL.
Extraß cf a letter from capt. Wm. stomr, mafler of
the fa, Friendship, of tbi port, to bit Owners, dat
ed Hamburg, April 21.
" This day accounts came from Rus
sia, informing of the Tragical Death of
- the Emperor Paul. It was said he de
creed the Empress and his 2 sons should
be banished to Siberia. The Senate
tried to get him to annul , the decree,
but he would not.— —The Senate fat
by themselves, and unanimously agreed
that he must be insane, and passed a
vote that he should be imprisoned—and
in case that he would not go by fair
means, to put an end to him. The of:
ficers, who had the commission, passed
the ift and 2d guard without opposition,
but when they came to the third, they
were seriously opposed. The Empe:
ror, hearing the noise, came from his
bed chamber to know the cause. The
person who was to inform him of what
N the Senate had done, and who told him
bluntly that they looked upon him as
an insane person, and that be must be
confined—at which the Emperor struck
him—the Officer and Emperor had a
few blows together—but those who
came with the Officer, knowing their
business, took a Halter from under
their cloaks, and strangled him instantly
—thus putting an end to Paul-"

Various reports are spread .refpe&ing
the purposes of the North. No fads
have appeared against the spirit of the
Confederation. The best underhand
ing continues between Russia and Swe
den. In Holland, the'fleet is ready for
sea, and political disquiet ,has entirely
ceased. The Legislative body has issu
ed a Brief, assuring fafety against any
molestation for past political opinions,
and the people are assured that the Prus
sians will enter the ports of Holland,
should the English attempt to molest
them. The last accounts from Egypt
remain in doubt, as the public wishes
are not overruled by official news.—
There are continual proofs of the in:
duftry of the French in that country.
They are building ships at Rochefort,
of 80 guns, and one of 113, to be nam
ed the Republic.
The Agricultural interest of America demands
attention. The immense supplies of flour have
convinced the world of our resources. The vast
exportations of tobacco and the increase of the
Cotton Plan, in the Southern States, are equally
faithful iff porting our industry and success.—
The raifintyffhemp has been often recommend
ed, buFit never has been generally encouraged.
Thetarave been many communications on the
fubjz. That a commercial people should pos
sess this aid tyttysfarealtb, should never be a with
only, while they hold the power. The example
of Canada rafy^ioHrua us. While the mines
give us iron, and the forefts our timber, the field
may afford us cordage, and we may spread our
own canvas to the gale. In time of need we are
then independent of all foreign fopplies, if they
are not given to us in a generous and profitable
trade. We are told that Filh may make a very
profitable manure.
POPULATION of Vermont.
We still have communications refpe&ing the
Crufus. From Windsor we learn that the second
census of Vermont gives 153,381 fouls. In 1781
there were 63 towns, and in 1791 126, and io
1792 there were 85,539 fouls, so that the increase
since the last census is 67,842.
I# Late from England.
An arrival at Philadelphia, from Bristol, brings
English papers to the 26th °f April. They con
tain nothing important except the declaration of
the official Gazette of his Prussian M^jefty, " that
the political system of Europe will not probably
be fhiken by the death of Paul—is his successor
has already confirmed the fobfifting arrange
ments."
A French army was on its march thm&|
Austrian territories, destined to a&a

June i s—The various accour#
Europe, give us no just appreheu
f,luiion ofthe Confederation, nn oiqr
ror of Russia, after the usual ceremonies of notice
to Foreign Courts, has discovered to Prussia and
Sweden no intentions of deserting the confedera
tion. The fleets were in actual readiness to fail,
and the King of Sweden, after all the pretences of
disturbances in his Capital, was active in prepar
ing for a defence oi bis Sea Coast. The Danes
held Hamburg on. the 15th April, and the Prus
sians, Hanover. The navigation of the Embs,
Wefer and Elbe,.was in the power of Prussia, and
the English packet had been detained. France
held a constant communication with the North
ern powers, and enjoyed the utm<ft confidence.
The Ruffians were expected in the Mediterrane
an. French troops had passed through Anftria
towards Turkey, but there are reports of a peace
between France andMfe Porte. [(, Certeia.}
The civil code of France has been prepared, and
it is expected will be adopted. This will be a hap
py measure .towards the internal quiet of the na
tion, and a happy preparation for the approach
ing peace. It discovers the highest political wif
dom io Bonaparte, to fettle all such questions be
fore the conclusion of the war, that the Govern
ment may come into immediate and full operation
_Tbe want of such a plan deftreyed the Com
monwealth of England.
Our appreheofions become more alarming re-'
fpeettog the Barbary Powers. We hope no de
gree of blame will attach Itfelf to the departments
of State. As we have great commerce io the
Mediterranean, much (offering may ensue from
the sudden co operation of the Barbary powers a
gainst us. We have no later News from Egypt.
$3" Beautiful Simile.
The high opinion we entertain of Pre
sident Jefferson, makes us view him
as the mountain, while the clouds move
harmless at his feet. We cruft his ad
ministration will be as wife as his abili
ties are great; and that all our jealou
sies will eventually exalt the man who
has the promotion, and ought to have
the confidence of his country.
^^ IMPORTANT— if true!
From BoftonJune I y—To tbe Editor.
'' By the schooner Wafhingtoo, Cheney, from
Liverpool, we received a London paper of April
30. It states in large print, " That Major Keir
had arrived from France, with news, that the
whole of Egypt was in possession of the British !"
[/? is libel, Abercrombie bee taken Egypt, tbe rem* •'
Cornwallis and Burgoyne took America.) That the
Northern powers have again opened the Elbe and
the neighbouring rivers to British trade."
Nothing can be more falfe and wick
ed, than the assertion in that common
fewer of stupidity and toryifm, the Pal
ladium, viz, that Mr Pinckne, might have r
been President, by accepting the votes
of the Eledors of (S. C.) with Mr.
Jefferfon; when the undeniable fa& is,
that the large and refpe&able majority
of republicans in that state, were u
nanimous in supporting Mr. Jefferfon
for President, and Mr. Burr for Vice-
President. Mr. Pinckney could not e
ven get their votes for a Senator, much
less for President of tbe United States.
No—Republicans are not so inconsistent
as to give their fuffrages for charaders,
diametrically opposite to them in princi
