the inhabitants had left the city ; those men capa

• the women and children had retired to the interi
or parts of the island.,
It was ekpefted the fate of Gonnet's mission
would be decided in a few hours : he had lent his
demands to the governor 2 or three days previous
to the Brothers' failings some of which were un*

Portsmouth, Septe^Tr 16, 1800. .
During the continuance of the present contest
between Democracy and Monarchy in Europe, v^
have often tad to deplore the capture and con
demnation of bur vessels by both the French and
Englilh, in the mott illegal manner, and almott
without a pretext—Britain did agree once, to
make reparation for her various evil doings —d>ut
the day of retribution is tardy in arriving, and we
again fee maugre the treaty, our vessels forcibly
carried into her ports, and there condemned in a
moll unrighteous manner ; but we have been un
der the convittiorr, long before the late proceed
ings in Halifax, (N.S.) that the Judge of a Br^t sh
Court ot Admiralty is • neither a Moses nor a
Joshua , and are too often concerned in a pecuni
ary way, in the condemnation of neutrals . How
ever Britain may be blamed with refpe& to her
conduct towards the United States, it does not ex
culpate France from a limilar charge. She gives
some hopes, at the present day, however, of doing
juflice in time to injured commerce. These two
powers muff certainly hold the laws of nations in
Supreme contempt. The law that governs them
appears to be—'' Might makes Right."

neceflary to lighten the veflel. What is called
Ross's iron machine, for forgjng claims very pon
derous, with Screws, knives, wheels, &c. of won
derful dimensions, was thrown overboard. Some
talked of throwing Ross himfelf, but it was not
done. He will be obliged to quituhe service. A
great part of the army was thrown over. It was
a fpeftacle of humanity to hear the cries of cap
tains and fubalferns, like pigs in a florm. -'The
whole ocean for a league round was covered with
regimentals.

It was thought advisable to thrpw over the fail

These remonstrated. Jemmy especially. that he
increased the weight but little, but as they had
been the means it was thought, of canfing a great
leakage, and taking so many troops'on board the
captain, ordered them over. Tim made some re
liltance, but to no purpose. The midshipmen and
crew were for throwing over the Alien and Sedi
tion bills. The Captain is an old feanian, but the
ship was scarcely sea-worthy, when the voyage
began, and spreading two m'uch fail, (he had got
under water, and the pumps could not cleat the
hold without throwing over a number of guns,
and these Et ceteras in order to lighten and

A scourge to Anti-republicans and impertinent
tories, has made its appearance at Pittsburgh, un
der the following appropriate title and motto :
THE TREE OF LIBERTY.
“ And the leaves of the Tree were for the healing
of the Nations."
The proprietor concludes a pertinent address
to his patrons, in the following manner :—
I We disclaim the idea of printing agreeable to
the common receptation of the phrase an rmpar-'
tial paper; it is merely h profeifion and nothing
more ; tor when the political fliip is u ffed by the
jarring of contending opinions, we believe with
Solon that the individual who does not take a
part, is unworthy of confidence and merits exem
plary pnnifhment. We therefore, avow our de
termination to print a partial paper, partial as to
the rights, liberty and independence 01 our Coun
try ; out impartial as to the relation of facte and
events.
}Otir gr^at object will be public and not private
conduct of character, and the more elevated in
office, or fenced with connections, the more bold
'ly thali we undertake the examination of feiui
ments or actions. In doing this, we (ball hav.e the
approbation of a good conscience, and we hope
the protection of our country in the flipport of
this paper, instituted in the face of arittocracrand
Binder the frowns of it; with a view to preserve
a germ of equal rights and to plant the Tree of
Liberty however ' small the sprig, that watered by
the Bream of Republican subscriptions, it may

" A curious affair- has tmufpired here. The
Britifta packet Earl of Leicester, Capt. Sharp, has
been seized in consequence of proof having been
exhibited that some perfoos on board have peen
guilty of smuggling—the article, I believe was
Stockings—the package was landed in the night,
and traced to the Merchant's store where it was
deposited, and taken oofrelfon of bf an officer of
the Cullom-Houfe. The captain has made a great
blustering about the'bufinefs, and declares himfelf
entirely ignorant of the affair. The anglo fede
ral Merchants are buzzing about the Coffee-Hutife
in chillers—muttering menaces—and talk of the
, Impropriety of seizing a King's ship—that it may
interrupt the good undemanding which subsists
with Great-Britain ; and with the business to be
Submitted to the higher powers !—The citizen
who has detected this base fraud, declares he
knows of no higher powers than the Law. The
ship has been given up on tbe British Consul, giv
. fog bail for the value of her, to abicC tbe event of
the trial," "'^
A'lettcr from Richmond, dated Sept, 1,. TSO'S
fays, "A very important fubied now occupies
the attention of the Executives A most alarming
plot of the blacks having been difeovered which
was to have been put in execution last night, had
it ndt been detested—in which an undifiinguifhed
maflacre of the whites was to have taken place
without regard to age or sex. We are happy to
add, that the leaders are taken and we have no
doubt will be brought to condign punishment.
Capt. G. Bradford, o^e ship Irtdnflry, of Bos
ton, has again bravely defended his ship againtt
the piratical efforts of four privateers in the gut
of Lisbon ; but it is with regret, we have to add,
that Capt. B. was so much wounded in the thigh
as to be obliged to undergo an amputation. On
ly one seaman was wounded. Tbe ship was much
shattered. This is the third time Within 18 months
that Capt. B. has encountered a similar force in
ihofe seas, and each time thro' his superior skill
and bravery, preserved the property of his own
ers.
