" The definitive Treaty of Peace has not
Vet been finned ; or if it is, not generally
Known. It is said some difficulties have
taken place refpetting the island of 1 rini
tlad. The Spanilh tear the Euglilh will
tarry on a contraband trade with their pot
fellions in South America. The Spanish
Minister has riot yet triable his appearance
at Amieps ; and the negotiations have been
prolonged far befond the general expecta
tion ; which gave rife to a thousand reports ;
and many of thetri very contradiaory. For
soy part, 1 think the definitive treaty will at
Lit be figged ; but nut owing to any real
good will or friendship in either of the par
ties ; but fiom an absolute inability to con
tinue the war any longer. That the peace
between France and England will be of long
duration, I much doubt ; but they both
want to take breath, and to fill their treas
ures.

• In the Oracle of the 3 I inst. we notice a long
train of bombart ififf, made up of eke ainanous
and interrogations, and jumbled together with
extracts from the New-Hajnpfhne Gazette and
the Ledger. We do not wiih to fill our paper
with a review of inch a ridiculous performance —
a few words will futfice. Firlt. It the Editors
ol the Oracle reviled their own paper as careful-,
ly as they do ours, they would ha^e a more plau
sible right to expose our errors. Secondly, It is
better to be " an object of public pity", th man ob
ject of public contempt. Thirdly. That the
. lift of votes in our lad were “ copied verbatim
from the th?ee left Mew Himjjhire Gazettes,
is " False." Owing to the return of votes be

Bedford, Newport, and Stratlum, The votes
annexed to Bedford are, for Langdon, 21 —Gil-
-111 n, 108, alike in both places—we are sorry for the
midake, and fh.dl carefully correct it. Newport
is, in one place, for L. 12 —G. 75, and in the oth

other is immaterial. Siratham was corrected af

AMERIC^NEXPORTS.
The sum of ninety three millions cf dollars is the
amount of the exports of the United States lor
one year ending in September lad ! No country
in the wotlJ, Great Britain and the Unital States
excepted, ever exported produce, goods, wares
nnd merchandizes to that amounts
Before the American revolution, and down to
the year 1790, Great Britain did not export 10
large a value co all the world, his also probable,
that the exports of Great Britain in the year en
ding with September, 1801, were little, if any
more, than our exports of 93,000,000 this- which
&re nearly £2l 000 000 fterlmg. The British re
turns of exports always include their Ihipments
to their own domnions, viz. Ireland, Guernsey
Jerfej, S^rk and Man, their Weft Inches and Lal
Indies, Honduras, Canada, Nova-Scotia, New
foundland, Hudson's Bay, Bermuda, &c. De
ducting these, little more would remain than our

" Among the speeches which have been deliver
ed in Cougrefs on the repeal of the judiciary law,
and which command, asit were, out admiration,
that of Mr. Giles holds a pre-eminent rank. It
is a display ol lupet ior intellect rarely equalled.
Diffufive yet concise, it embraces matter intereft
log art instructive. That urbanity which accords
with public duty and a faithfulnefs of its execu
tion, is mauifeft throughout. Where he dilates
on the proceedings ot the federal government, his
ideas are correct ; bis language full and appropri

The public have now an opportunity to fee
how great the milreprelemations are wiiu which
tiiev are cheated . It has been told that there were
57 Virginians in Congress. The lye has been re
peated, dwelt upon, and confirmed by many tel
limomes. It now appears from the Cleik of the
Houle of Repielentatives, that there are only two
persons in Congress from Virginia, who are not
natives of the ancient territory of Virginia, and
that there are but 27 members iij Lw present Con
gress, who are natives of the Ancient Dominion.
What credit can be due to those persons w ho,, in
vent such abominable iadhom.s ? f^'g.
But the energies of Connecticut are more vio
lent than the red, because their rage is quickened
by their fanatical, persecuting spirit. This it is
which has brought lurth this topic, perhaps for the
collegians to exercise their talents on commence

expeoenevd minds the w orri of dilpofitions to the
belt 01 governments. [Chrou.
This question has been adopted into the True

reason to believe they could not keep the held a

this party looks to a dark cons on tile liber

Lord North's moil eloquent Ipeech in Parliament,
at the time of the Bolton Port-Bill. If any man
doubts these things let bim read the speeches of
