LATE FROM FRANCE.
% 7 lie ship South-Carolina, arrived at New-
Tork from Havre-de-Grace, brings intelli
gence from that place as late a.->the 7th, and
Paris accounts to the 3d April. From an
intelligent gentleman, who came paffengei
in this flop, and who during bis residence
in France, has employed ^ himfelf in noting,
jwnn much precision, the " palling tidings
'" the times, Nic following particulars have
been obtained :
Mr. hlonroe hi not arrived at Havre on
the 6th of A,nil.—Go. Bernadotte had re
ceived inftrnaiogs to Io in rrMinefs to take
his deparnoe tor the U red S j^s, in the
y>ntn 01 My, a s Miniher PicTpccemuiy.
fits retinue will be very numerous ; and the
fplcrJjr of the cmudv will, it is thought,
be without any previous example in thi c
country.—After the firtt day ofGrrninall
(llnch 2l),the current coin of the Frenchl
Republic wul bear the " image and super-
Frqoion of the End Confui. —Malta re
huiu^d in the poTTi m of the British ; and it
was bid by fo^., doit the French had re
hnqmihed it for (even vca;s # ~—The |fp 4 j 01
S.rUnso acecrduv. re repori, had ftn^ ~:r-cnafcu
cnafcu by the p , n!h gnvor.r.ma for ,ruy
millions of hvres ; but the French had ex-
[ reded their deterndnation to prevent the
tuning p.)ifefiion thereof.—Couriers between
Fupaud and Fiance were frequent. Mr.
W,igm, a raeflenger, paired thro' Havre on
the 2^l March, on his way to Paris ; on
being quefboned, what he thought or the
present cutis ? lie answered, it wi'l be deci 1-
cJ in ate .v days.—The number of English
men in Paris, was computed at 15,000 ;
they were leaving that city w ith much pre
cipiution. The Duchess of Dorfet and her
lon had taken leave of the Firii Consul, and
were to quit Paris on the 4th of April.—
'1 he preparations for war on the part of the
French irugrGEd finely ; and from this
circumstance, as well as the supposition that
Bonaparte would make some (acrifices tohis
love of peace. Humilities were not expeH
cd to take place at present.—Twenty Ihips
of the line were on the flocks at Brefi. —The
bird Consul having determined to put S'.
Domingo in the fame Rate as before the re
volution, 50,000 troops were to be sent there
in the month of May.—The FiUt Cniful
and family, the Ministers of War, <4 the
Interior, and of Finance, the Counfellors of
State, Senators, and fevcral officers of divine
tion, with a guard of 1200 men, were to
leave Paris 011 the 12th May for BrufTels,
Wnere they were to be met by the Archduke
Charles, the King of Prufli, and Genera 1
Moreau. This meeting is fuppofcd to have
for its object an alliance between Anftria,
Fruffia and France.—Egypt was evacuated
by the British on tne 101 b ol February.—A
secret Senatus Confulta, it is said, has an
chafed the allowance of the Fir'dConful to
the immense sum of thirty-fix millions of
livres per ^nnum —The vcltris fitted out for
the expedition to.. Louisiana, were vet in tin
ports of the Batavian R.e,olie. 1 he Brit
ish Minister having declared that on their
going out, the crullers of bo nation would
take poll. Bi in of them, is probably the cause
of their detention. They have been ready
for sea more than five months.

"TRUE AG THE DIAL To THE SUN."
Tor TSMOUFH, N. H.
TUESDAY, MAY 24, 18og.
A Paris paper of April 2d, lays, We have
received English papers of tuc 29th March,
and it is with finctre pleasure we inform our
readers, they beat a more pacific afy.lt than
they have latterly been aecultomed to do.
Peace mult alike be the with of the well
dipofed part of the community in both coun
tries ; it is avowedly the-interest of both
Governments, and, therefore, we hail with
unfeigned rapture the cheering profpeH,
which appears to present iifelt.
The Funds, in consequence of these aus
picious symptoms, exper fenced a rife. 1 hree
per cent. Confols, left off at 65, and Omni
um at 12 per cpnt. Difeount.
Uninfluenced dill, by these alarming
rumors (fays London papers of April 1,) we
continue to think that no war will take place
and that dilutes will be adjured. Private
letters from Paris date, that at the lad levee
Bonaparte, addrefling himfrif to lord Whit
worth in a very different manner, and with
a vrey different air from the one that he allti
med at the preceding audience, said, “ Well,
mv lord, you fee fine weather has returned,
and the clouds have disappeared."
From the Paris Argus —The meff^e of the
President of the United States to Congrats, which
we inferred in our latt number, is a monument of
the blessings which flow from a republican gov
ernment, where economy in the administration,
and unembrr^ffeJ indullry in the people, form
the great leading features. When the complica
tion of government is diminished, and the nation
is engaged in ufelul pursuits, wealth and redac
tion of taxes, is the happy confeanence-; Mr. Jef
ferfon is pursuing this plan. The dignity of his
administration results, from its simplicity and jus
tice. His glory consists in doing good.
The Chief Consul is said to have declared,
that rather than fuffer the English to-retain
possession of Malta, he would ice them in
pofleffion of the Thuilleries.
It is reported the British government have
difeovertd some printed addrefles circulated
in Ireland, by the gallant Arthur O Conner,
in which he speaks confidently of emancip
ating his country.
When the press warrants arrived at Portf
mnuth (England) the garrison were imme
diately beat to arms, and a general alarm
being thus occasioned, all difcriptimis ofcmen
hadened to the place to enquire the cause of
it, when the troops forming a circle round
the multitude, picked out such of the free
fubjedsot his Britannic majesty, as they
thought worthy the honor ot firming his
Ibattles. At New Castle the lailors hid
;themfelves in the ceal pins to avoid impreff
tnent.
Text.—" The triumph of Federalism in
New-fork will form the firii link of achain
that will encircle the Union." — Alex. Num
hi&T.\
Comment. —Never was Republicanifin so
triumphant in this State as at present. from
accurate calculations made, it is more than 1
probable that of one hundred Representative s,'
of which the Alfembly is compiled, fifteen'
only will be Federal. Ihe Senate coufifts•
of 32, of winch not more than seven, and ;
probably not more titan Joe will be of the,
opposition party. Thus the federal Sun
alcends in the State of New-York ! — Citizen.;
From the Richmond Examiner. —“ Report fays
that Callender, irom long and excetf'.e intoxica
tion, has for a fortnight pad, been in a date of
absolute infinity ; and that he bad, in the conrfe
of ten or twelve hours, as many horrible couvul
tion fits !"
The following paragraph is extracted from a
federal print. —We have taken the liberty of
engaging one word, which was evidently erroneous,
and we now lubfcri>e to the currettnefs of the
whole, T. Americ.
" The Federalist frequently inft.au ot answer
ing argument by argument, endeavour to cloud
the truth by railing a dust. They attack the man
that the arguments may be kept from (i ht ; and
kick up a fcuffle that in the confufion they may
blind and deceive the people—jail as pick pockets
in great cities make nt ck battles, in order that
when a crowd of gapers is collected, they may
pick their pockets."
In Rhode-I'fland, the Governor, all the,
Senators, and fifty out of leventy represen
tatives are Republicans. In the whole|
General Assembly in grand committee, con
lifting of 82, the federalists amount only to;
2'l. The Providence Phoenix fays, " the
federalifts have four newspapers, yet all their
cdnn?nv bus or/y operated ogaraft them
fives." Constant labor, Esq. is Speakers
of the House of Representatives.

in the word Liberty, the letter B is perceptibly
lower than the I and the E —ln the \ ord States,
there is also a great deficiency in the letter S, be

State Appointments.
Hon. William K. Aikinfon, of Dover, a Judgel
of the Supreme Court, in the room ot the Hon.
Timothy Farrar, resigned.
Hon. Timothy Farrar,of New-Ipswich, a Judge
of the Court ot Common Pleas, for the County
<4 Hillfborough, vice Hon. Jeremiah Page, re
hgued.
At a late Circuit Court lor the county of Mon
mouth, in the State of New-Jersey, Peter 3tout
of the township of Dover, was brought to the bar
to aufwer to a charge of murder exhibited against
him by the grand jury at the preceding term ; al
though there was no positive evidence in the case,
he pleaded guilty to Lie charge, and perilled in
the plea after being reminded by the court of the
awful consequences which mutt inevitably follow.
Sentence of death was ot course puffed on him.
The horrid deed for which this wretched man is to
fuffer, was committed 011 the body ot a lad about fix
montiis tince. An ax, which was found by the
mangled corpse of the unfortunate youth, and
which appeared to have been the fatal inffrument
othis death, led to a lufpicion of the perpetrator'
of the deed. Soon after his commitment he cou
feffed the crime; since which uniform conduct
has manifefted a deep conviction of guilt, sincere
repentance, and a fettled refiguatifen to the fate
that awaits him. ° [N. J. pap.
On the night of the 21st tilt, the house of the
Rev. Mr. Durham, of Brier Creek settlement,
Northumberland county, Penufylvania, was enti
rely confuted by fire; and what adds to the
difirefling accident is, that the mother of Mrs.
Dunham, together with a young lad of the age of
14 years, were burnt to death. Mrs. Dunham and
a young man were so badly burnt that their lives
are delpaired of.
The United States frigate Conflitution, now
