Soert afar Mr. Jefc'rfon war ele&id to the Prettney,
he difaaiffed Mr. Harrison from the office of Di&ri& At
torney at New-York, and appointed Edward Living&on,
E[q—-Mr. L. it appears, has been recently removed on
account of delinquency. The following paragraph, re
fpe&ing thia gendemin, is copied from the New York
Evening Post of Friday last:
«'We were informed, half an hour ago, that there is a
mistake in the statement we gave yesterday of the amount
of Mr. Livingston's default; that it is not so much as a
^hundred tboufand dollars, or at least that the amount of what
has yet been difeovered Is not so great, but only somewhere
about faenty tboufand dollars, "shore or left." blow this is
we know not; but this we do know, that a judgment by
cenfeffiga for one hundred thousand dollars Stands upon
record against Mr. L. in the Clerk's office of the Diftridt
Count. Left we Ihould have* been misinformed in this
point, we examined for ourselves, and have seen the docket
of the judgment itfelt —Whether indeed this is the amount
due from Mr. Livingston to the United States, or whether
it is only to cover whatever sum he may, upon a settle
ment pf his accounts, be found td be indebted, or whether
it is the penal sum of a bond, the half of which is confe
qucutly the actual debt, we cannot pretend to fay." >
The pamphlet, which has lately appeared in New-York,
in defence of Mr Burr, is said to have excited the highest
) attention of the public, and^to have aroused all the ire of
the Clintonian party. The printer and publisher of the
work has been served with three warrants, for libellous
proceedings, in the sum of 20,000 dollars each The pro
frerrors are De Witt Clinton, Brockkolst Livino-
CT.N, and one other —^// bonoralle men.

# important to tlx commerce of this country, if net to the
inters of humanity. • —-
PROCLAMATION.,
OfDESSALIXES,.CHRISTOPHE, & CLERVEACX
Chiefs of St Domingo,
In the name of the black people and men of colour of
I St Domingo. ,
THE independence of St. Domingo is pro
claimed. Restored to cur primitive dignity, we
have claimed our right ; we swear never, to yield
them to a% power on earth—The frightful veil
of prejudice is torn to pieces, %nd is so for ever.
Woe De to whamfoever would dare again to put
I 4 together itsblaody tatters.
I 0! Landholders of St. Domingo, wandering
I in foreign countries, by proclaiming our Indepen
J dence,vre do net intend to forbid you indiferimi
nately from returning to yopr property. Far be
from us this unjust idea. We are not ignorant
that there are feme among you, that have renoun
% ced their old errors, abjured the injustice of their
exhorbitant pretentions, and acknowledged the
lawfulnefs of the cause for wl,ich we have been
a (pilling our blood these twelve years. Towards
these then who does us justice, we uill aft as
brothers; let them rely for ever on our edeem
1 3 and friendship : let them return among'us. The
'sod who prote& us, the God of freemen bids us
to stretch out towards them our conquering arms.
But as for those wh?, intoxicated with a foolifh
pride .mdintercr.i flames to a guilty pretension
are blinded to much as 0 think that they are the
Qfe "'^ '"" ',@-age& to believe,that
they are defined by He.ven to be our matters &
our tyn.^ts, let them never eeme near the land
of St. Domingo, if he, come hither, they will
* meet only withcuains and deportation ; let them
Ray ther here they are ; and lamented by their
well deserved misery & the frowns of the just men
that they have but too long mocked at, let them
continue to move the pity and concern ofnobody.
We have (worn not to listen to clemency towards
, w all those who would dare to (peak to us of Slavery;
▼ we flUfi be inexorable, perhaps even cruel, towards
all the troops who, themfrlves, forgetting the ob
jeft for which they have not ceased fighting since
1789, flroul^cime yet hem Europe, tp carry among
us death and lervitude.—Nothing is too dear, and
every mean, are lawful, to men from whom it is
wifiled to tear the firft of all blessings. Were they
, to cause rivers and torrents of blood to run ; were
they, in order to maintain their liberty, to confla
grate the fev<n eighths of the globe, they are inno
cent before thr tribunal of Providerfee, that has not
created men, w/ce them groaning under a hard and
fliamefuf Servitude.".
If in the various infurre&ions that took place,
fqme inhabitants, against whom we had not to com
■ plain, have been victims of the cruelty of a few
1 soldiers or cultivators, too much blinded by the
1 remembrance pf their past (offerings, to be able to
■ diftinguifo the good and human landholders from
■ those that were unfeeling and cruel ;we lament
I with all feeling fouls so deplorable an end and de
clare to the world, whatever may be said to the
contrary by wicked people, that these murders were
cbm mitted contra ry to the wifhespf our hearts. It
A was importable, especially, in the crisis in which the
■ colony,was, 10 be able to prevent er flop these ho(-
rors. 'They who are in the leaf acquainted with
hiftdry, all know that a people, whert availed by
civil diffentions, though they may be the most pty
■*ffiied on earth,give themselves up toall kinds of ex-
IPcell & the authority of the chiefs always but poorly
E coplolidated in a time of revolution, cannot punish
lall those that are °tfilty, without always meeting
■ with new difficulties.—But now a days fays the
I Aurora ofpeace letus h@veiheglimpsofa less stormy
■ time, now that the calm of victory has fucceded
to the troubles of a dreadful war, every thing in St.
Domingo ought to assume anew face, and its gov
■ ernment hence forward to be that of justice.

MOREROGUES!
We hear from Exeter, that on Friday evening
last, three men were arrested and committed to
gaol in that town, charged with making or coud
iterfeiting bills of the New-Hampshire Bank,pay
able in Philadelphia. The great quantity of bad
bills of this description now in circulation, and
i the difficulty in diftiriguiffiing them from the true
I ones, rendersit unfafe for those, who are not well
s acquainted with bills to receive them.
CAUTION.
I A arref,undent would suggest to hit fellowdti
' zens, that they fould be particularly cautious when
receiving bills of the bank of N. Hampfoire, (Oliver
Peabody, preJident) made payable at the bank of the
United States at Philadelphia, as very many coun-
Iterfeits are in circulation. It is extremely difficult
[ for persons not intimately acquainted with the true
I bills, to dete& the forgeries,fo well are they executed.

,inth% morning, difeovered land, It came on to blow and
snow very hard, and, at about half-,aft 12 o'clock, as they
} approached the land, the furf on the East tide of Orleans
beach, (Cape Cod,) ran to 1 prodigious height, and along

J 12 or 14 feet, filled the boat, the next, which immediately

The tribute ®f refped, tp departed worth is the
I last fad duty of surviving friends. To those who
! knew him personally no eulogy will appear too
jflattering, his virtues will ever endear him totheir
>memories.—Plain, unassuming, and amiable in
his manners, his whole deportment spoke the Gen
tleman ; his integrity and benevolence (hone con
spicuous in every action. As a Commander, the
, dignity of his manner inspired refpe&, whilst his
goednefs of heart impell'da ready obedience arid
Secured attachmentto his perfoh. Capt. Brown
commanded several armed ships in the course of
our Revolutionary War, and in various aliens
acquitted himfelf with honor & applause. When
the depredations on eur commerce called forth
the resentment of his injured and insulted coun
try, by the united recommendations of the Mer
chants in Newburyport, he was appointed to the
command'ot the Ihip Meri mack; how he acquit,
ted himfelf, the annals of our infant Navy will re
cord and even his enemies in war (for he had
-none in p^ace) will ackriowl dge the generosity
and humanity of his condu& towards them.— In
i<he reduction of our Navy under the pre-
I feet admirirtratien,Capt. Brown was unhandfome
ly difmifled from the fervice,and found a reward
in his own corfcioijsreaitude,andia the honorable
