HORRID OUTRAGE.
r On the 41b of July inst. a number of citizenshad
convened at the house of Thomas North, Esq. a
refpeftable Republican citizen of this county, for
purpose of celebrating the auniverGry of Ameri
can Independence. The upper part of the house
was occupied by a number of young gentlemen
and Ladies as a ball room ; in the midtt of their
convivialfy, a number of armed soldiers with
fixed bayonets rushed into the house and forced
their wa% up flairs and inade several attempts to
ifab such as flood id their way. The people in
the room requested that they might not be inter
rupted, but their intreaties were in vain—Mr.
Korrh begged of them to leave the house, but to
no effect. The young gentlemen who were In
the house then turned them out of doors ; upon
which the soldiers went to the garrison at Well-
Point, and informed the commanding officer (a
certain James Steel) who immediately ordered
the long-roll peat ; /paraded all his men, and
inarched under arms to Mr. North's; on their
arrival Steel ordered his men to charge upon the
honfq; accordingly it was surrounded and attack
ed on every quarter—all the glass windows and
doors were broken to pieces in an instant ; the
soldiers then entered the house, knocking down
all who flood in their way, and dashed to pieces
the houfehold,furniture without diferimination—
a considerable sum of money, with several arti
cles of goods were also miffing.
To complete their infernal business, Steel and
his banditti took off a number of citizens who
were in the house and drove them before them at
the point of the bayonet to the garrison, and put
them in the dungeon where they kept them for a
Considerable time.
The damage Mr. North's property has sustained
on the ocellion, if estimated at several hundred
dollars.'.T'::^--

Packet arrived in 18 days from Falmouth, the
Capt. Aid that soon after failing he fell in with a
frigate from Lord Sr. Vincents for England, with
information that the Brest fleets of 51 Gil were at
sea. On the 14th inst. at St. Barts, Capt. Stan
wood was presented by a French gentleman with
a memorandum of news, which he said had just
arrived at Guadeloupe in 19 days from Bordeaux,
viz. " That all differences were fettled between
France and the U. S. and orders brought out for
the American flag to be refpetted ; That Buona
parte had relieved Genoa, and taken three fourths
of the Andrian army prisoners ; and that General
M<>reau had fought a third fuccefsful battle in
Germany:
The true spirit of national pride mould be to
divett the mind of prejudice—and the true policy
of Americans to confider thole as enemies who
are hollile their peace and proiperity. When we
hear of spoliations on OUT commerce by the priva
teers of Guadaloupe, we feel an indignation a,
gaiuft France for foffering unprincipled men to
be commissioned by .their government ; so on the
other hand, when we lee our vessels captured by
British ships of war, within fight of our very har
bors, and sent into a neighboring British port for
adjudication, we feel an indignation against the
British, which is heightened by the audacity of
the measure, and ,till more augmented, by the re
flection of being insulted (as was the case ih the
recent capture by Capt. Pender, of the rich fltip
from Providence) while visiting our ports asfriends.

What, observes a correspondent, do the
anglo-federalilts expea to accomplish by
their inve&ives and calumnies against the
framer of the declaration of American Inde
pendence, the inflexible and patriotic JEF
FERSON. They appear like asses bray
ing at the moon, for he is too well known
in the southern Bates, for them to expe& to
injure his reputation there ; as his princi
ples, virtues and patriotism, in those Bates
are very justly, and universally appreciated,
and in the Northern ftafes the greatest pos
sible exertions of the enemies of Mr. Jeffer
fon, even their depriving the Sovereign Peo
ple of the right, the inherent invaluable, and
constitutional right, of choosing for them
selves, the electors of President and Vice
President, will not give their favorite candi
date more votes than he received at the last
election, with all the votes of the nothern
Bates ; and the afloni/bing change which has
taken place in New-York, and the other
Bates at the southward, will certainly coun
terbalance the northern interest, and give to
Mr. Jefferfon a handsome majority for Pre
sident of the United States.

The following is extracted from a Paris paper of
June ift, received at Philadelphia.
On the 30th May, arrived in the road of Havre,
the American frigate Portsmouth, Capt. M'Neil,
of 26 tu elve pounders, in 36 days from N. York.
Two officers came ashore near the Battery de la
Heve, and were escorted to the city by the sol
diers of the poll. They went to inform the com
.mander that this frigate had been sent to Havre,
to wait there for the Commiflioners, who were
negociating with the government. They receiv
ed assurances that the French government, and
particularly the inhabitants of Havre, would give
them an honorable and hospitable reception.—
They returned on board with a French officer, an
interpreter and a pilot, who were doubtlefscharg
ed to offer the captain any afliftance he might
stand in need of, and to make the neceflary ar
rangements for the entry of the frigate. On the
officer's going ashore, the Portsmouth fired 15
guns. The batteries returned the salute with
nine guns, which was anfaered by the Portsmouth
with 15 more.
" The negociation is near being honorably ter
minated for both parties ; and it is expefted the
American Commissioners will leave Paris the lat
ter end of June."
A French ship of war, the Guillaume Tell, of
86 gun,, and 1000 men, has been captured off
Cape Paffaro, Sicily, in the Mediterranean, after
a most gallant and obflinate defence bf three hours
and a half,by three British ships, the Foudroyante,
Lyon, and Penelope, the two former, ships of the
line, the latter a frigate. The loss of the frigate
is said to be very great—that of the French up
wards two hundred. The Foudroyant expended
162 barrels of powder, 1200 thirty-two lb. shot,
1240 twenty lb. do. 100 eighteen lb. do. and 200
twelve lb. do.
hatred ofthe British government, which they have
tor a short time vainly attempted to conceal, is
bursting on us with all its ancient fury—v ihen we
are probably on the eve of a war with G. Britain,
and our independence may be the price of the
ftruggle,—at such an important crisis, it must af
ford the highest fatisfaction, toevery friend to the
welfare and independence of his country, to be
informed, that such a refpedable lift of candidates
for the next Cbngrefs as Was pefented in the lalt
