NEW-YORK ELECTION.
. The federal and Bate elections of New-Yprk,
were made laiLweek. A paper of May 3d fays,
we have not been able to procure an accurate
_flatement of the votes in each ward, and therefore
can only fay at present thafcthe Republican ticket
has succeeded by a majority, of 87 for member of
Congress, and 445 for member of Affeidbly. The
majority for Senators are in favor of the federal
yticket in this city, but we have no doubt but the
Republican ticket for Senators in the diftria will
succeed also. We Ihall give a full and correct
Batement as soon as possible.
The Circuit court of the United States, for the
Pennsylvania Diftrift, adjourned on the 2d inst.
Previous to the adjournment Judge CHASE pro
nounced sentence of Death on JOHN FRIES,
JRED. HAINY, and JOHN GETTMAN, con
vifted of High Treason, to be executed on the
23d inst. in Buck's County
Judge Chafe at the above-mentioned adjourn
ment, observed, ^ that it was probable a different
arrangement by law, and ,his declining health
would prevent his attendance on any future oc
cafiou.
MR. JEFFERSON
is censured in the Centinel of May 7, for being in
favor of the repeal of the late Penal Laws in Vir
ginia, against deism and atheism—a censure which
'muft bring a blush on the face of liberality thro'
the Union. If Deills and Atheists are to be pun
ished, why not Arians and Socinians, as their
. sentiments lead to the fame fountain ? and what
mud we think of the framers oftur government,
who id their z^al for separating church and date,
would not fuffer the name of the author of our re
ligion to be inferred in the Conffitution ? If Mr.
Jefferson ffiould te placed in th, presidential
- chair, the chair will then hold as much orthodoxy
asit did when filled by Washington. A late
pulpit Partizan, incbrillian candor, would have
• Mr. jefferfon taken for an Atheist : & affyred,
however he will neither pick your pockets nor def
tray the Federal Government. Electors of New-
England ! read and ponder the unchristian at
tempts of British Federalists to delude and mis
lead you in the enfoing election. Mr. Jefferson
and Mr. Adams were ever esteemed as amongst
the firft American Characters in the Union. But
thealm of the Brjtith and Essex junto in New-
York, (as hinted in their papers) if not here, is to
pass them by, for the paragon ot British purity and

learn, That great preparation's were making in
England for another expedition; defined, it was
supposed, for the Mediterranean, as accounts had
been received, that part of the fleet at Brest (18
' fail of the line) had gone out, and that the rest
were ready for sea ; and that the British govern
ment, in consequence- of the great scarcity of
wheat and flour, had opened their ports for the

tries, and had offered the usual bounty.'
The Boyne brings accounts of a dreadful fire
which Happened en the Cullom House quays, in
London, by which the loss was estimated at three
hundred thousand pounds sterling. Much Amer

have before heard, suspended the capture of neu

All idea of peace was ,dissipated, and great
preparations were making by'the adverse parties
for .the eufuing campaign. Buonaparte had as

which was increasing, and at the head of which
