their assistance and took Meirill

It is averted in fomeWe Lon#}

of the Preliminary Treaty been;
procrafttnated but a few months
longer, the British forces would §
have been put in complete posses. i
fion of the island of St. Domingo,|
by the black gen. Touffaint, whoj
is said to have opened a negotia-1
tion for that purpose, by agents 1
.sent to the island of Jamaica. Itj
is easy to fee, that immense ad-j
vantage would have resulted from j
such an event. Halifax paper.
INTEREST!NG.
Capt. M’Laren, who arrived at
Newyork, in the very short paf-'
sage of 8 days from Cape Fran
cois, informs that the day before|
he failed Gen. Leclerc had order#;
ed an additional duty of five per;
cent, on all goods exported from
the isle of St. Domingo, making a ;
total duty of 25 per cent. That;
reinforcements of troops were ar-|
riving daily from France in feat-!
tering transports. That the fever
still raged with great violence a
mong the troops —That out of a
bout 70 Generals who came out
with the army, not more than 25 i
remained, they having been cutl
off with the fever—That Gen.|
Leclerc was on the eve of return.,
ing to France, and was to be fuc-|
ceeded by Gen. M'Donald—That%
American produce was generally;
low—That even lumber was on I
the fall—and that flour was felling;
for 3 dollars a barrel. N.Y. Gz.;
Newyork, Jul, 31. Capt. Burr I
who arrived this morning in 17
days from St. Thomas's, informs,
that just before he failed, an A=
merican brig arrived there from
the River La Plata, with intelli
gence that the Spaniards had sei
zed 15 fail of American vessels,
and taken their cargoes— Our in
formant did not learn the name
of the brig, but understood foe
made her escape from the Span
iards by some Itratagem —and the
Current opinion at S'. Thomas's
was, that a general confifeation of
American property in South A
merica would take place—and
that a rupture between the two
nations would follow.
Capt. Rhodes of the fchr. Re.
publican, informs us, that the day
before he left St. Pierre's (the 9th
of July) a corvette arrived there
from France, which bad left the
<fleet within 3 days fail, having the
new governor and" 10 000 troops
on board for Martinique.
Capt. Rhodes saw a letter from
Mr. Clarkfon, a refpe&able mer
chant at Point- Petre, dated July
,4th, stating that the executions of
the refraaory negroes were very
common, and that for the week
past the number averaged 30 per
day. About 2200 negroes had
been taken in the mountains, who,
with as many others, were confin.
ed on board different ffiips to be
sent to the mines. A French
Guineaman had arrived with a
cargo of slaves, and several more
were expected.
When at St. Pierre's, Capt. R.
received a letter from Capt. Can
field of Connecticut; dated Point
Petre, 2d July, who informed
him, that the Government of that
place had taken his cargo of oxen
;at their own price, much below
{the real value ; that markets were
i dull ; and that whatever articles
;were in great demand, were in.
' variably seized by Government
ft in a similar manner to that he had
!juft experienced.

COMMUNICATION..
FOR THE GAZETTE.
THE " anything or tabing" politicians
begin to rave frightfully about theap.
proaching eleaion of Representatives to
Congress. They give us their " Fede
ral Republican Ticket," and then a wild
farrago of non sense about " the eyes of
the whole Union" being turned " par
falcon New Hsmpfhire" 1! wonder.

General Washington & Mr. Gallatin I—
—We will not call this mixed medley a
Satire on the Government—it contains
none of the attic qualities. It is howev
er intended lo flattr the prefect admin-
Iftration : and this is the %i the Fede
ralists recommend their candidates
The People will remember tol
take care for themselves.
THE illiberal language vfed by federal
editors when leaking of the Executive,
cannot have escaped the notice of the pub
lic. It fheuld seem that they lire emulous
to outrun each other in the race of feur
rility. No examination of principles or
of measures, no refpea to the conflicted
authorities ; nothing, ir. short, but Hin
der, wilful misrepresentations, and grofa
abuse, are to be seen in their papers -—.
Upon our word, gentlemen, were the fe- ',
dition law, that beautiful offspring of /e/-
cral metkoefs and freedom, in exifter.ee,
& put into operation with all tha k:en
n fs,,rt madefy, which diftinguifhec your
liberal administration, you'd soon find
yoei selves shut up, like Stern's Starling,
io appropriate cages, fingiog requiems to
the manes of federation. Nay, were you,
in the language of the amiable Mr. Ad
ams, " transferred within the enemy's
lines," that is to fay, within the jurisdic
tion of the mother country, you would in all
probability obtain a passage to Boton,
Bay free from expense. What a charming
privilege! Certainly it is worth erjoy
ing,nay fighting for ! Every friend ot the
Old Schoo/muft admire it. There's some
thing energetic in the system that's truly
pleating and efficient. There's none of
your innovations here; nothing of your
modern ,hth„b, in this, hi it you fee the
old order of things without jacobin alloy.
To be brief it is the essence of unmixt
federalism. —Citizen.
IT is laughable to notice the ariflotratt
how they labor to get the name " Re
publican." On all occafibns them
selves are calling themselves republicans,
and still the poor creatures find lit useless to
hbour. — Hornet.,
' There is no foundation for the report
of Mr. Jefferfon's contemplating a visit 1
to the eastern states in the present year.
His residence at bis farm in Virginia will
be two months, and then there will be
full occupation in preparing for the next
session of congress, the necessary matter
to be laid before them. Aurora.

those who are indebted to him,
