'• One hundred and fifty vef-
Ids for Europe, the Weft-Indies
and United States, have cleared
from hence since the ift of Feb
ruary last ; —and we computed
jour ware houses now to contain
•cargoes for eighty vessels of two
hundred tons each—besides what
may tome down the Mississippi
On the authority of the captain of
a vessel arrived at Newyork,in 30
days from Lisbon, it is stated that the
French fenatus confultum had refuL
ed to confer on Bonaparte the title
of emperor of the Gauls.
News bad reached Lisbon, that the
exclusion of American vessels from
Spanish ports, was in consequences of
some late regulations in the Spanish
system of quarantine. (

information from the American
Consul Thomas Appleton, Esq.
that a fleet consisting of eight
Tripolitan cruizers, carrying from
14 to iB guns, were at sea ; and
it was conjeaured that they had
left the Streights, and were cruis

mericans. The commodore of
this fleet is said to be a Scotch
renegado, and the crews are drefl

Capt Seton informs us, that on
the 31st of Jan. he spoke in the

Camden, Wednesday, 1 6tb Feb.
About ten days ago we had a
high frefh in the rivet here,
which was over most of our low
grounds ; not subsided till Friday
last, at which time it began to
rain, and has rained ever since,
until yesterday evening, when it
set in to snowing gnd continued
all night ; the snow now lies
eighteen inches deep all over our
fields and commons, and is still
snowing very faft. This is the
greatest snow that has ever been
seen here by the oideft inhabi
tants of this place. The river is
also up again very high and rising,
and indicates a sweeping frefh,
which will no doubt do great
damage on Santee, unless the
planters get notice in time to
drive their cattle out, dec.

we may noi offer up the (acrifice of fools—let

it is well known that a conspiracy was formed
in the United States, to prevent the ekaion qf
a constitutional President :—and that mtajurt#
were taken to raise to the sublime station of
Fir, Megifate one who Ihould Jew the & to
Federal Despotism !!
%,ien—Vhs not Mr. Gilman of counsel
in that plot ; and has be not, since, in public,
juftified those Meojura ?
To the world it is well known—that an or.
erwhelming flood of wilful, malicious mifrep.
refentation has deluged Newhamplhire from
federal ,afo.
Qftfion—h Mr. Gilman the patron and
fupperter of those presses ? and is he not the
rewarder of the Champions of slander f is he
not a zealous ioftigator of the infinity of fed
eral abuse of our Magistrates and Rulers—his
throng of hirelings and co-partners around
him to the contrary ootwifhftanding?
Gentlemen, you know that a horde of de
figniog, avaricious and wicked men have com
bined, in this state, against the purity & sim
plicity of our republican government, and
that horde have attempted to decoy to their
party the Ministers of the Gospel, io order to
mislead the people, and strengthen them&lves
in power.
^<,iea —ls Mr Gilman one of that horde I
Duo he not wear the cap of Meeknefi for the
fame purpose that he does the cap of Liberty,
more fuccefsfully 10 intrigue against b.uh?
You know gentlemen, that a party is form#
ed, in this state, who, for four -years past have
adopted unjuftifiable measures to continue ses
09# in power and influence.
Qt,ien= Is not Mr. Gilman that man ? ov
er whole back they bestride the Community ,
and can a doubt be entertained of Mr. Gil
man's agency in that business?
Tis well known alfc—'hat a Faata in this
state have converted public welfare to 'private
emolument only, and bartered benefits which
in their original design were general, to the re.
ciprocation of personal assistance.
Let us, (banishing " the fear of man which
bringeth a foare," and the love of patronage
which bringeth illegal reward and a snare al
so) undauntedly and faithfully erq ire and
carefully and candidly examine—whether Mr.
Gilman is a member of that F^aion ? snd
whether he, In any way, is, upholder by such
praaices?
As the freedom of eledion, through the il
legal exertion of a fa&ion to keep Mr. Gil
man in power, has become almost a farce ; the
wish of the well informed fruftrated by intrigue
—and public justice prevented by the loQg
ftrengthened habit of felfilhnefs—and hypoc,
rify is abominably prevalent in our land Let
w, in deep humility, deprecate those fridge
ments which threaten the total annihilation of
our Liberties.

An American gentleman in Lon
don, writing to his friend in this city,
very seriously asks if all the churches
are overturned, and none but French
men employed by government, as
the federalifts predifled would be the
case should Mr. Jefferfon be ele&ed:
—lt might be answered with great
truth that the churches were never
better attended than of late, and it is
but too true that there are many per.
sons retained in office, who so far from
being Frenchmen, were in 1797-8,
the devoted tools of British influence.
