" TUESDAY, May 29.
FOREIGN.
London dates are received vid New-York to
Aprill 10— The French Grand Judge has made
a particular report to the premier Consul rel
ative to the conspiracy. One obje&appears to
be to stigmatize the Btitifh Ministry—and Mr.
Drake,the British Envoy to Bavaria is styled the
Secret director of the English machinations on
the continent."
Dispatches weffreceived at Lord Hawkefßu
ry's office which caused a bustle among the min
istry, and several of the foreign ministers had
conferences with them.
It was reported that among other accounts,
that Buonaparte has threatened in case the
Ruffian troops should advance to the German
continent or to Ml that he would possess
himfelf of the Hans towns, Naples and every
sea port in that kingdom.
The Toulon Fleet it is said was dill in port.
DOMESTIC.
, Our own election engrafts more enquiry than an,
other domeflic occurrence,— we believe all parties now
^admit that Gov. Gilman is re defied. —The Senate is
composed of twelve members, I I are chosen, 5 federal
iJIs and 6 democrats, the candidates for the vacancy
are the "bon. Mr. Wingate of Madbury, and John
Waldron, Esq. of Dover, and it is more than probable
Mr. Wingate the federal candidate will be defied by
the House. —Gen. Alien obtained the election by one
tote only, and % K. 'mitbby sou a com
tplete lift &ftbe reprefentativesfubmitted to our view ^
a gentleman of the firft information and probit, *e
are of opinion that the boufe will once more exhibit the
features of federalifm, and that the alteratio b of the
c6nflitution will not receive the approval of the en
lightened farmers of this fate, who are not disposed to
give up every discriminating right, in favor fy small
a fate as New-Hampshire, to fwdl the importance
ofthat mighty mistress 0/?^ Union — Virginia.
General Wilkinson has arrived at New-Fork from
New Orleans.,,
We understand that Jonathan Tatfcey of Lee, in afit
ts insanity est off the head of his son.
COMMUNICATION.
1 having examined the New Improved Patent Bedstead
and finding it of great utility, [think it worthy the atten
tion of every family, 1 made application to one or two
of the cabinet makers ih this town, as I wifh'd to pur
:chafe, but they inform'd me they Were not at liberty to
make them, I With the patentees would advertise the pub
s lie where they can be obtained, as a number of my ac-
I quaintancc are determined to have some new ones made,
I and their old ones altered, upon the above principle,which
,they are confident is superior to the screw Bedhead.—
I Fuerte, has any of our Cabinet Makers applied to pur
chase the patent right. INQUIRER.

Marquis La Fayette— Coffered ^ ^ fedion
in 1803, authorized the Secretary at War to
issue land warrants to Major Gm.,La Fayette
for 11,520 acres, to which quantity of land he
would for his rank in the American army, have
been entitled; at the end of the war, had he
claimed it. Mod of the land, however, appro
priated for the fatisfadion of military rights hav
ing been located, it was found that the value of
the trad allotted to the General would be incon
siderable. At the last fellion of Congress there
fore a new provision was adopted, authorizing
land warrants to be issued to him for the num
ber of,acres above mentioned in any part of
Louifana. To fatisfy the firft grant, land could
not be found worth more than 1 del.an acre,under
the existing provision such can be obtained ks is
worth between 10 and 20 dollars an acre. The
grant of course will amount to more than
100,000 dollars. . ,
