„ FROM THE HAVANA. ;,
It w,3 averted in our tall, that the port of Ha-
Yana was opened tor tbe,admflion of Lumber and
Stock in American veffeh ; this intelligence was
received at New. York, by the arrival of Capt.
Murphy, from the former place. Caps. Blanchard
npw in the Quarantine Roads, failed the fame day
with Capt. Murphy ; but did not learn tharfuch
An event had taken place.
Martinico had not been renewed to the French,
the ill of thte month ; the French troops not hav
ing arrived to take poffeflion of the island.
On Thurfdav morning last, Mr. John
Clackfton, confined in the gaol in this town
13r debt, cut his throat in so thocking a man

Capt. Lovett, arrived at Beverly on Satur
day, informs, That he left Gibraltar on the
7th of August, at which time were there,
the frigates Adams and Chesapeake, and
fehobner Enterprize---That thb American
consul had returned to Morocco—-and that
trie frigates were waiting to hear from him,
to know if the Moors were determined to
declare war against the United States. The
officers of the American frigates informed
Capt. Lovett, that there were no velfels
fitting out at Morocco.
Since the capture of a Portuguese frigate by an
Algerine 44 gun Blip, the Dey of that Regency,
has exhibited an uncommon degree of hauteur to
wards all the Christian counfuls in his dominions ;
and has threatened hcliihties against all the wor
fhippers of the Cress, unless they augment their
Tributes to him. Spain, it is fail!, has complied
with the demand of this Petty Tyrant,and lias con
sented to pay him two millionsof dollars. BON
APARTE pursues a different polity, and is fitting
out a squadron from Toulon to chastise his insol
ence. We molt sincerely wish him fpccefs. How
it hands with other powers we have not learnt.
Mr. O'BRIEN,(our late Consul at Algiers, who is
now succeeded by Mr. CATHCART, Consul at
Tripoli)ihinks it not improbable that in an unguar
ded moment, the Dey will declare war againtt the
United States, or denraand beaucoup d' Argent.
He also Rates, that Algiers has two frigates of 48
and 34 g' ns ; f° ur Xebecs from 34 to 26 guns ;
two polacres of 22 and ißguns ; 4 brigs from 22
to 16 guns ; two or three smaller cruisers ; about
f 0 gun boats ; and about 206 fail of coallers, with
jartine fails, from 20 to 30 tons. It has also in its
treasury 50 or 60 millions of dollors ; and holds
ijoo Chrdtians in slavery.

, , FROM EUROPE.
Y An arrival at New-York has furnifhed
London dates to the 19th Augutt, which is a
lew days later than has been received here.
The Englifb and French governments
have formally disavowed all knowledge of
any attempts to dismember the Ottoman
Empire. Thus perishes one. of the molt
fruitful topics of news to the European
Quidnuncs since the conclusion of peace.
The ceremony of proclaiming Bonaparte
Consul for life, which took place at Paris,
the 2d and 4th August, equalled any thing
of the kind ever exhibited under the French
monarchy. The proce&on comprized an
advanced guard of dragons, a corps ofTrum
peters, a detachment of cavalry, peace-offi
cers,' a band of music, a detachment of dra
goons, the Staff of Pompiers; the Chiefs of
Foreign Service, a detachment of Gendar
iniere, preceded by its trumpets, the Com
nnffaries of Police, 2 band of mulic, the su
perior military officers, the Secretary-Gen
eral of the Prefecture of Policy, the Coun
cilor of State, Prefe& of Police, fix peace
officers, and a rear-guard of the National
Gendarmiere. In this order they proceeded
to fifteen points of the city, at each of which
the proclamation was made.
An account from Genoa of the force of Algiers,
gives to that power an aftnal fleet in the Mediter
ranean of two frigates, one of 46, and the other of
36 guns, besides 4 ohebecs, 2 polacres, 2 feboouers
and a brig.

In the last Hartford Mercury is the following
paragraph :—“ It is pleating to inform our Re
publican friends throughout the Slate, that altho'
we did not carry our ticket in this town, our firf}
trial gave us an exact tie with the federaliks —
but they, rather the mod indoftrious at out door
recruiting, carried their ticket, alter SIX TRI
ALS, by a very feeble majority."
EARTHQUAKE.

Marblehead from his fa at Cumana, on the

" Yelterday morning, as I was going up
the river in my long boat, and being about
half way up, there occurred a very feveie

"TRUE AS THE DIAL TO THE SUN."
Portsmouth, (n.h.) October 5.
—< & c^^+f^cg^F^x,^.,.>..>..>—
If Callender has a particle of delicacy or
difeernment remaining, he must be shocked
at the use which federalifts make of his apof
tacy. To get him to write on their fide, to
betray what little unimportant confidence
was reposed in him by those on whose hos
pitality and bounty he formerly threw him
felf, they cajole, flatter and caress him, in a
Ryle which plainly proves that they are
laughing in tueir sleeves.— Callender per
ceives not that he is, by republishing all this
fluff proclaiming to the world his infamy :
he horribly winks at, the efforts which his
new friends are making, to paint Mr. Jef
ferfon's charitable aid, in the fable colours
of bribery, and himfelf as 2 corrupted and
prostituted hireling. ..Like a Spaniel, when
those who formerly kicked him, now deceit,
fully fondle him, he hies away yelping with
joy and in the extacy of vanity falls below
himfelf, by violent efforts to obtain more
patting and more pelf. f Examiners
The administration of Ms. Jefferson
has made millions happy —and, if we can
judge from one important fa&, none discon
tented ; if we except a few incumbents of
or seekers after office. From Penobfcot so
the Miflifippi, not a Engle town, " no not
one," has manifefted a murmur or petitioned
against a single measure of government. A
few ambitious expedients, gloomy monks,
(irf the garb of public teachefs of morality)
lawyers who wished to be ambassadors, mili
tary officers, who have been " damned to
CIVIL life/' Calender the apostate, the in
famous ferotage of Hamilton. Printers, who
have found others preferred to them, and the
partizans and admirers of a mixed monarchy,
or any government where the people are to'
have only " an efatial Jbare" in the fover
eigntj, but in reality no Ibare at all.—From
these and such as these proceed all the abuse,
calumnies, mifreprefentaiions, exaggerations
and falfehoods, which have dishonored fede
raiifm in public opinion, and have made it
no longer popular. Ten fefftons Gave oc
curred of the refpeaive general assemblies
in New England, since the Wafh
jngtonian Judicary system was restored ;
and yet not a word of disapprobation has
been uttered by one of them. Bar-meetings
have been held, but, alas, the unconftitution
aiity of this measure never has been noticed.
Towns innumerable have been in meet
ing, but where are their grievances, except
decreasing taxes, encreafing credit be a
grievance ? A dozen or two fanatical clergy
men, rejeded applicants, men who were
fattening on the country, and mercenary
scribblers from St. Omers in Connedicut,
mete " Judaifing Christians," are the
mighty phalanx who fay a great deal and do
nothing. By a malicious refinement, these
men who hate the true liberty of the press,
fill it with all manner of licentiousness, if
possible to make it odiotts to the people ;
knowing that to its potent influence, we owe
tf;e people all quitting their houses, and fal
ling on their knees, praying for proteaion.
The bottom of the river rose in such a man
ner, as to Hrike the boat's bottom so severely,
that it broke off the rudder as 1 was fleering
it. The Riock lasted but a very little while.
I got on ffiore as quick as possible ; and my
apprehensions were much heightened from
feeing the efirth opened ih ohe place from
60 to too feet in ength, and from goto 40
fee; broad, which before was cultivated, but
how is a body of water. All the way up
the river, oh the right hand, the land was
laid open more or less ; and rcahy houses
and trees tvere shaken dowh. .When I got
up to town, I found all the people in the
Greets ; —they had run out through fear of
being burled in the ruins of their houses.
About 12 o'clock was another flhock, 1
think heavier than the firft : the houses that
were standing, were in motion like a ship at
sea ; we are all expecting, every moment,
the earth to.open and swallow us up. 1
was so much overcome, I scarcely know
how I behaved : feeing every one on their
knees, praying—the priests and friars in
procession, with all their faints carried with
the supplicating heaven for proteaion, was
enough to affe& the flouted heart. As soon
as I could I made all poflible fiafte to my
vessel, and was very glad to "get there.—
About 8 o'clock in the evening was another
Imall fheck, which did but a little damage.
During the whole night the inhabitants
were all at prayers and in proceffioh, walk
ing up and down, and did not know were to
go for fafty. lam told there were but few
lives loft. There was a number of houses
destroyed, and scarce a house but received
triore or less damage.—Even the fifi in the
river rose upon the furface of the water and
ainid to get out tc the ocean ; they seemed
to be in great terror ; the water in the river,
during the day and night, w?s in very great
agitation.—l desire th bless God, who saved
me in this hour of great peril." ~.

; MODERN EPICURISM..,,
We have often heard of Bunapartiau valour, and
Bona partian policy, and Bonapartian Rratagem,
and all that, but the follow ing anecdote, commit
nicated by a French gentleman lately from Paris,
will shew us.that Bonapartian luxury is inferior to
nothing since the time of Lucilllus himfelf.
It has long been agreed that the fineft trout in
the world are to be taken in the Lake of Geneva ;
but the fifh are so delicate that, it is impoln.de to
remove them any diflance without effectual injury.
Bonaparte, who had formerly eaten them, expres
sed his regret one day that a Geneuan trout could
not be had in perfection, short of travelling more
than three hundred miles; a thing in the prefect
Rate ,of affairs, not to be thought of,, Cambaceres
the Second Consul, and a man of wonderful culi
nary talents, took upon himfelf to obviate every
difficulty, and to ease the longing of his royal
matter, by furnifhing him with trout from the
Lake 01 Geneva in perfection at his own table. Bo
naparte (mded at the propofal;and thought of it no
more. Cambaceres, however, set himfclfto work
in earnelt to accomplish it He ordered a regular
chain of polls to be eltablifhed all the way from
Paris to Geneva, and at each an excellent French
cook, with every thing in redinefs, to receive the
precious morcean, act his part towards it and
fend it on. The trout was taken, inllanily dres
sed and clapped over the fire at Geneva—-it was
hardly warmed though when it was taken off the
fire and delivered, in a dish prepared for it, to a
horefeman, who went off with it full f,eed fill he
came to the firC post ; there a French cook receiv
received it. placed it, not jet cold, again over the
fire, and advanced it a little further iu the process
it was then delivered to a fecoAri horseman, who
carried it in like manner for the lik purpose to a
second post, " here it underwent a like process in
the hands of another excellent French cook, and
thus it was continued till it came hot to Bonapar
ce's table, perfectly done, all ready for eating
The Firß Consul smiled a second time —the cour
tiers all cried bravo —and decreed applause to
Cambaceres, who was highly delighted at the suc
cess of his contrivance.
Itis said in the Centinel that two more
persons are turned out of office for being
tederalifts. As usual this happens to be a
mistake. These men thus diftrifled, to
make Way for their betters are not federal
ids.but anti-federalifts—men who with to
fee noble families io this country that they
may be among the number^ Persons who
wilh a Senate for life and an heriditeryl're
f.dent ; who forfeit (he country with their
nonfente about the Well-born, arid .who
have wished a Wronger government than our
o w n.n. They want an expensive navy, a
Handing army,ruinous andoppre ffive excise,
high salaries, numerous officers an ?rifto—
cratic Judiciary for life, independent of all
control cr refponfibiiiiy--eight per cent
loans, an increafirg debt, a government of
speculators and land jobbers-in fine, the
friends and admirers of the British govern
ment. ,These men are endeavouring ,0
spread confufion and difordeb through the
country ; and they insult the majefty.of the
people, by abusing their First Magistrate in
the mod scandalous manner. Sav not such
persons are federalißs--rhey are a small dis
appointed faction, whose whole merit has
confuted in deceiving honed mtn. Ibid.
