< IMPORTANT.
To the politeness of a gentleman in this city we
are indebted for the tolloging extract of a letter
from a gentleman in Paris to his friend in this ci
ty, dated September 2, 1801.
"Dear Sir, —In my lad, Intention the rati
fication of our treaty, and now, with pleature, in
form you, that the tribunal of prizes have com
menced hearing American causes. In three that
have been decided, the property is ordered to be
restored, and I doubt not but the greater number,
if not all, ,fll be decided in the fame way. There
is neither interell nor damages allowed, nor need
be looked for, —nor compensation for pillage.
" There is now some reason to believe that ap
peals for captures in the Weft-Indies will be ad
mitted in the tribunal for prizes ; so that what
ever cases you or your friends tray have, I would
recommend your preparing and fending over,
with a full power of attorney ; and by all means
let the sales of the property accompanying ir,& fee
that every piece is legalized by the tribunal that
condemned it.
" In many instances it will be better to facri
fice a part, in compounding with the captors,
than to contend ; but that you will takeinto cop
fideration in giving the power to aft for you here.
^ « Negotiation still goes on; dispatches come
and go daily, yet peace is very doubtful, and sales
rather flow. The poles in the cliannal dill afford
the belt markets. Yours, &c."

FIRE AT VERGENNES.
We are extremely sorry to learn that the Print

Four important PA/ical Truths.
if. The Republican; are unitedand harmonious,
as a body.
The exceptions are only individual. There are
no jarring clashes or emdider tbie numbers of dif
feuters.— The true reason of this union is, that the
party act on known principles, ellahhObd by our
revolution,aliened in bur declaration of Indepen
dence and defined in our National and State Con
flittitions.
2d The Federalifa are dijunited and dfoncerttd.
A deviation fton original principles has confound
ed their policy, and involved them in discordant
sub-divisions.
There are two principal denominations among
them, between whom, however, the line of divi
sion is not vet very accurately drawn. One
them have "led, & the other followed. The for
filer have been the movers of a train of high-toner
foeafures, some of which were adopted and others
rejected. but which were warmly ,opposed at the
time, by the leading R -publicans, and which are
3 length generally exploded by the froice of the
fco,e. The fame set are now in adice oppoi
tion againd the Republican Adminißration. The
other CITS of Federalifs never onJerflandiwy
approved those ami republican meafurcs fuco as
the Armv, the Sedition-Law, the projected rup
ture with France and alliance with Great-Brita^
the multiplication of officers, the monopoly o> all
offices in the hands of one party, &c, yet they im
plicitly supported them and their authors, from a
General attachment to rhe party and a difbeliet of
their anti republicanism. Sincere themselves,
they placed an unbounded confidence in the sin
cerity of their leaders. In the fame manner, and
from motives, some of these moderate Federates
lend a kind of passive flipport to the present oppo
fition, akho' they will not themselves actively op
pose 'the "powers that be," and do not really
think the fyffem of oprfofingjußifiuLle. It is hard,
however! for them to freak off them connection
from a PA?TY,,vith <.< horn , before their abandon
went of firft principles, they were in the habit of
anting. , ,
3d. The Republicans and the moderate Fydera
lifts agree in all. efential principles. This faCt,
which has long been confidently asserted, has been
denied by inlereded Federal partizans, and doubt
ed by others. But it is a pleasing and important
reality, of which no other proof is necessary than
a mutual explanation of terms and a candid com
parison of.ideas. Every reader, whether deno
minated Republican or Federal, is requeued for
bis own fatista&ion as well as the public good,
to verify the proportion, by converting with his
neighbours of the other party. If he has never
before made the experiment, he will be aftorufhed
to find how much oft,he difference is in names and
prejudices and how little in principles. A gene
ral communication of this kind would probably
go a great way towards refloring that popular
harmony which is so desirable, but which has been
so long interrupted by party diflinCtions without
n difference. Time and reflection are introduc
ing a reconciliation.,
4th: The present apportion are an anti republi
can and an antifederal Faliion. —They have aban
doned the Republican maxims of yielding to the
majority, acquiefeing in the elective will of the
nation, and confiding in and fupportingrthe consti
tuted authorities. Their present practice also
gives the lie direct totheir former proteffions of
attachment to the Federal Government. Out of
their own mouths they are condemned. Tver
Hand convicted by coidelfion on record. Their
conduct precisely exemplifies their own definition
of Anti-Federalism. The Federal Newspapers for
several years pail ; nay, the reader's eyes and ears
& memory are appealed to, for the truth & perti
nence of this remark.
Their former supporters, having under popular
names and pretexts been once led by them into
measures which are since found to be incompati
ble with their own view, will surely pause and
reflect upon the consequences, before they join
such a factions oppofeiou.
The fame principles of love of country, at
tachment to the federal government and confi
dence in the conftitute'd national authorities, which
operated in favor of the former administration,
will, after the agitation of the late change shall
have fubhded, produce the fame effects on the pub
lic mind in favor of the present administration.
No considerable portion of our citizens will per
fevrre in anting an inconsistent part.—Their cha
racteristic candor and good sense will prevail.—-
The reader will please to remember this predic
tion and compare it with the event.

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 12.
Vergennes, with all the materials it contained
andthe Poll-Office, which was kept in the fame
building, with two Mails of the United S ates,
were coufumded by FIRE on Thursday night lalf.
The account Booksofthe above mentioned gen
tlemen were the only articles preserved. One of
the Mails was from PlaiUborgli, and the other
belonged to Fairhaven, it is said that Judge
Platthad enclosed a bill of fifty dollars in the MAI
from Plattsburgh. We underhand rhe Fire broke
out in an appartment under the Printing Office,
which was occupied for a school.
Fifty eight persons fuffered death for capital
crimes in Scotland in twenty years.—The popu
lation of that country amounts to one million,
fix hundred thousand fouls.—During the fame pe
riod four hundred and thirty-four persons fufler
ed death in Norfolk in England, the population
of which amounts to but eight hundred thousand
fouls. In Scotland everv person is taught to read
and write, and the BIBLE there is the univerfy
school book. In the fix counties of Norfolk there
are splendid churches, and high friaries given to
the Clergy, but the moral and religious education
of the poor is neglected, and hence the number
of their crimes and public executions.

The article of Cotton must doubtless advance

quantity just arrived from India, of the Patna
Ric,e, which is very good, and more dailv expec
ted ;' buralfo on account of the peace. Tobacco
cannot be much lower than at present. Indigo
may for fume time continue to fell well. Cochin

arrive in Europe, go below 178. Sugar and Cof

cannot think they will ge mm b lower.--Dvewoods
