the origin >1, whirli I herewith enclose for the satis

a fraud nl a double degree <»| imposture, and ibis
frimei drtecliii by the very evidence of then own do

I place it before you in this simple and distinct
light.
first, A 1-tter is written by Boileau to Bright,
dated C9‘h March.
Second. In llial letter he says, a letter is expected
from the pretident in answer to one,
written by the gnvernnur to him.
Third. It appears by lb* message of the lfith
I)rC that no lettei was written until tfv
Tib Apill, to the president ; that is for
ten ilajs alter the date of the leiter say
ing it w.,s written.
This falsification uj them-elves, was their own
art ; it w s seen ill their message ; it was talked of
m toe legislator? oponly ; but until Conrad IVtisrr.
brought it f ei'ors the pui lie, it was not thought
worthy of notice. Let us now see how it stauus
by the- Mi‘ seaj e.
Fourth. M* Secretary o>»w fells the legislature
that ti e date ol the ?9ih March, was a
mistake of the traniriiier, that it should
have been the 14th of April.
But the next point is t:.e worst of aij, for although
Mr. tioilsati tells os that the letter should be dated
on tie 14th, mean mg that it should he written on
the l tih April, we have in the documents a fact
more extraoid nary than the answer expe. led from
ti e president ten days before any letter wag written
to him, we have here an answer written by general
hrieut, t„ H letter which was, it we could believe in
conjuring (and every one agrees that general Bright
IS no conjurer) written 5 days before the Jctter’in
winch it was an answer.

•W'i to the letter { 14th April,
is dated on the .‘31st ,M *rch, and so it is pirbliahe

Mere is fraud of the lowest contemptible rpi-Iny ;
there is a mortifying meann ss in the manner, a?
well as a shin king demonstration of ronl, callous
depravity in the studied execution of the first and
second imposture. General Bright's leiter is dateo
the 31st March; he begins !;i3 answer in these
nurds “ yu.urs «l the £()i!i come safe to hind.”
And as ilthis evid; nc? were not sufficient, tlie rir

From a London Paper,
INSURANCE.
A very curious causecome forward some week**,
go before thecourt. The plaintiff was the celebrated
captain Ciooriall, vice admiral ol Hay ti. in the service*
ol general president Christophe. ‘ The defendant*
were the underwriters at Lloyd’s. The following
are the circumstances of the case; admiral G.*>d
all, had Sold, the president Christophe an English
ship, whodi he had previously fitted out as a ship
of wat ; and it war intended to he used by that
chieftain fur the purposes of carring on war against
Petion. For this ship Guodall was paid in produce,
with which he freighted a vessel, hired for the pi t
pose, and the vessel was rleared out at Cape-Fran
cois for England. Before he freighted the vessel
he caused his agents in London to insure the cargo’
for 4 28,000. In the mean time, Gnodalt was
sent, by order of Christophe, nn a cruize off Capis
Nicholas Mole, against a flotilla U-Ionaimr in thn
rival chieftain IVti»n, that he destroyed. During
this interval Gnoijall's vessel, after being loaded, wan
cleared out under tliesuperinteudence.il a Mr.Groej
gun, a merchant at Gape-Francois, who went on
board as a passenger to England, While this wan
doing, an English squadron from Jamaica sunoun
ded the Haitian fleet under Goodall, took possessi
on ufhu ship, took him and bis prisoners to Eng
land, on board a king’s ship. After remaining at
Plymouth for six weeks, they were released by an.
order from the secretary of state, and about a month
ago they arrived in London. Mr. Grogan had gone
on board Goodall’s vessel is a passeuger, and the '
vessel sailed* On the passage Mr. Grogan assum
ed the command, and prevailed n0 the mate
(the captain having previously died,) and crew
to steer to Baltimore. On the arrival of the
vessel at Baltimore, he sold the cargo for 30,000/.
nut the money into Ins own pocket, and began to
live in a state of splendid extravagance in that riiffi
He sent the vessel afterwards home, under the care
ot Mr. Hutchins, the chief mate, who brought her
safe into Liverpool, in ballast, about six weeks a
20. Admiral Goodall then sued the Underwriters
for the value ol the^ cargo. The defence made by
them was, t^at he bad appelated Grogan as h» su
percargo, with a roving ■commissiottgm do post of
.he cargo whenever he pleased ; thUf conseqaent
ly Grogan whs his servant ; and that they wera not
liable for any act of his. For the plaintiff it was
contended, that the goods were stolen, and that
•uch stealiag was tantamount to a raouS*. It w »a
