,that it was probable that at the close of
e war, " Bonaparte would establish a navi—
tion act for France, and the countries of
urope, and not permit any foreign articles
be brought to these countries, but such as
produced in the country to which the ves

bsisible, was one part of the plan of the li

France oﬀers to Great Britain to abandon
claim to colonial possessions, and to ex
Mvwmmerce with South America; and ss
colonissal possessions and commerce with

" On the Ifith of February, ! was infornv si

given by Gen. Sebastiani, for me to disþme
of my cargo, take in another and return to
the United States, the. t in consequence there

bruary, 400 quintals of my fish; but that on
the silSth, I was informed by the consul, that
orders had been received by General Pinrei

and its district, from Marshal Soult, duke ,Of
Dalmatia, from Seville. to consiscate all Ame
rican vessels andctcargoes that were in this
port when the French troops entered, or
should arrive afterwards, of which said consul
was notified on that day, and the purchasers
at my 400 quintals of fish were equally noti— ,
Bed on that day not to pay any part of its a—

or my consignees, but to hold it subject to the !

that purpose. The remainder part of my ss
cargo was landed, advertised and sold by or

A French general and his black servant
came Out of BoulOgne in an open boat early
on Monday morning, and were picked up
by one of our men of war and carried into
the Downs to the ad miral, who sent them
to Dover to our agent for prisoners. The
general is at prisenc at !hc ship lnn, at Do.
ver. li is said that his name is Seourier.-—
Nothing is Yet known of the cause of his
Huitting France.
The dis-nissul of Fouche (now called
Duke of Otriunto) the French minister of
police, has e-xvited c-sszr-siderabie SarpriZe.
That he is in degrace is rendered evident
! by the Paris papcrz, Nsspoleon having sent
l him verV cavalierlv to Rome, with the title
] of 3": vvsiss'nor, and ha*,-Zug appointed the
duke of Ruvigo (SIV'A'V) his successor, as
mnﬂsfel' of police; but sisihe cause of the
quarrel does not appear. Fouche, in his
answer to Napnleotx's letter, accepts his
new appointmenr, but seems to be very lit
tle pleased with it,—LM. pass.
Afaa'el of a wise Republz'css—Bees, as from !
time iuctmemoriai, associate together for -
mmual bcnrssfit. and liVe in republics. They l
are genuine practical repuhiicans, who e--E
vince their public and private virtues, not
by nose and seltsi applause; but by their,
useful works. _As a people they are re-i
markt-ble for their steady habits and plain
sober manners; and forthe republican vir
tues us industry, srugality and excellent e
connmy. it is with them a standing law to
punish idleness and d'ssipation, in indivi- ss
duals, with hanishmsi nt from their common
wealth. They also bring up their oﬀspring
to habits of industry; and send them oﬀ to
live by their own earnings and to form new
colonies, whenever they are straitened for
room, or their occupations are not needed
at home. Stich is their genuine patriotism
that they all diligently labor to promote the
publieintesirest; and are never seen to pur
sue any selsish plans of individual monopo
ly. While they always unite. with a patri
otic ardor and undaunted courage, in de
fending their own sirepublic, they prudently -
abstain from intermeddling with for-eight
pulitics. Their government like their cus
toms and manners, has never been revolu
tionary; for they have at this day the same
general system of internal pulice, which
they had at the time of old Esop. This re
si markable circumstance in their political his
tory, may perhaps be owing in a great mea
sure to the following causes. Every one
minding his own business, they have among
them no noisy patriota', no ambitious de
: magogues, no constitution menders, no vi
sisionary projectors of innovations; and in
the mean time, they always guard against
dcxtc-r, to his canstituents in the finissz's
siþpi Terrz'tary.
" it is a well known facc, that the suﬀ'ra
ges of the people- are never consulted in the
selection ofosiicers designated to rule in
the respective terriz-r-ries. Intrigne, fraud,
perfidy and chicanery, are engines not un
frequently wisilded to obtain for the fawn
ing sycophant that preferment which is de
nied to the independent posssssifssor of virtu<-.,
integrity and taicnts. I make these re
marks in relrrence to no individual whate
ver, but to shew the gr.-neral practice which
prevails under a system of government,
where power is not derived from- its only
legitimate source, the pe0plc, and where
the principle of responsibility in public,
funetionaries is swallowed up in the vortcx
of executive prerogative'"

SHIP
* This is the famous schooner L'Epine,
which we noticed in our paper of the IOth
May. She was delivered up to the claim
ants without being libelled, although among
her papers were found orders from her own
ers to sham distress and enter our waters.
She appears ri'gidly to acc up to the letter of
her instructions as she was not to feign dis
tress, only when she had been successful in
making a good prize or prZZes; she has
now the, ship Alert, with 170 slaves on
board. This is a Well known good market
for sla'sssi-sct '
Previous to the L'Epine's sailing on this
last cruize, the owner of the ship ]ohn bro't
suit against her captain for the gOods plun
dered from the John at sea, and laid his
damage at something near one thousand dol
lars—the captaisit, rather than hazard a trial,
paid six hundred dOll'dl'S and get an acquit
al.
_ The ship John now lies loaded at the Ba
liZe, cleared for some port in lreland, but
IS afraid, (as we are informed) to put to sea,
lest his friend, the captaiu of the L'Epiue,
pays him anocher visit. -
