"For modes of faith, let fiery zealots fight. He can't be wrong, whose conduct's in the right."
THE various means used to effect such purposes, as would assist the British Faction in their designs to involve this country in a war with France, are too numerous to be particularly recited at this period. Their aim was not confined merely to this object, but every measure was taken to raise a jealousy against certain republican characters who opposed their conduct. For this purpose the public mind was constantly alarmed upon the idea of an invasion from France—Conspiracies were daily announced: Taylor-Plots, Tab-Plots, and even Lady-Plots, followed in rapid succession. Mr. Harper went so far as to pledge himself on the discovery of some terrific plan, which had nearly arrived to a completion; he said in Congress, that he had the "clues," and promised soon to disclose all the mysteries of a treasonable combination. The party went on from one species of alarm to another, till at length the cry of danger became so familiar, that the people considered them as the mere chimeras of a distempered brain. Finding these projects would not answer their purposes, recourse was at length had to the all powerful weapon of Religion. This sacred cause was brought into operation; the people were told, that all honor, honesty and morality were to be annihilated; that deism, atheism and impiety of every kind were to predominate; and to favor the deception, a few Clergymen conjured up the exploded publication of Robison and Barruel, to forward their system of fanaticism. The Illuminati was the watch-word of the party; but the principal light arising from the subject, served only to make a certain Reverend Doctor appear more conspicuously ridiculous. Sermons were published on this occasion, and marginal notes introduced, with the horrid story of a desperate combination in Europe and America, to overturn all that is called godly.
The Illuminati influenza lasted about 18 months, and at length expired with a few struggles, under the injudicious management of this clerical operator:—Thus have this party run through the several parts of their political drama, and now are brought to their ne plus ultra , which is, that the President is an Infidel and does not believe in the christian religion.
This is the only ground on which the party now stand, and while they think the people believe them, they take the greater liberty in their calumny and detraction; they alternately call him deist, infidel, and atheist; they represent him as having a design upon the religious establishments of our country; and some are even so foolish as to believe, that all the meeting-houses will soon be razed, the ministers discarded, and carnage and plunder become the "order of the day."
At this enlightened age it is almost an affront upon the good sense of the citizens of the United States, to reply to the many absurdities written against the President on this subject. If Mr. Jefferson is destitute of those virtues which constitute a christian, or a citizen, where is the man who is possessed of them? If honesty, integrity, forbearance, humanity, benevolence and patriotism are the prominent features which designate a Christian, certainly no man within the United States stands more conspicuously eminent. So far from having no Religion, he is a friend to ALL; and instead of contracting its influence, he is desirous of giving every citizen a right to worship GOD in his own way; he is not a persecutor of any sect; he is not a defamer of any particular mode of worship; he is not a fanatic to scourge those who do not believe in his tenets; he leaves every conscience to its own bias, and instead of controlling men as the arbiter of revelation, he is anxious to place the adoration of the Supreme Being and his attributes, on that basis of the human mind, on which alone it can or ought to be erected.
If this is the character of the President, why is he attacked with such severity and indecency? Why is he held up as the subverter of Religion, when he gives such ample scope to every principle connected with its establishment? If he injures no man in his religion, why should others injure him in his reputation; if he is an immoral man, point out his immoralities; if he is destitute of the christian
virtues, let them be specified in such a manner as the people may judge of his criminality; if he has destroyed any houses of worship, or disturbed any pious assembly, let the circumstances be related; if he is prophane let the instances appear. This mode of procedure would be candid; but to defame the Chief Magistrate under the vague appellations of deist, atheist and infidel, is unbecoming the character either of a christian, gentleman, or citizen.
If some of the clergy are opposed to him, it would be more honorable to state their charges. If he has violated the laws of society, why do they not come forward in an explicit manner, and give the public a narrative of the whole transaction. This line of conduct would appear more manly than to attempt to weaken the confidence of the citizens in his administration by invidious surmises.
The conduct of Mr. Jefferson through life has been peculiarly amiable: His writings are fraught with benevolence, and solely intended to ameliorate the condition of mankind, and to lead them to an improvement of all those faculties with which Heaven has blessed the human species. His character, in Europe, stands in the most elevated position, and it is degrading to our country to find men who assume the reputation of "the learned," demean themselves by such gross reflections as are daily published in the Palladium, Centinel, and other papers.
If the Clergy are alarmed at the decay of religion, can it have any salutary effect to represent Mr. Jefferson as the opposer of the Christian system? Will it persuade people to embrace the gospel, by telling them that Mr. Jefferson rejects it? It rather appears to me, that it has a contrary tendency—no man will believe merely because Mr. Jefferson disbelieves. His character as a scholar, philosopher and reasoner, gives him a reputation too high to be made the negative of a principle, either of religion or any other subject. If the people are told, that the President does not believe the Christian religion, it may lead many to conclude, that he knows more than they, and that he has good reasons for his disbelief. This kind of argument may be satisfactory to some, and thus, instead of helping the cause of religion, it may have a very unsalutary effect. The Clergy in this particular are doing an injury to the cause they are attempting to support, and it is the height of folly to expect to gain proselytes by propagating with so much avidity the infidelity of Mr. Jefferson.
As President of the United States, he is not called on to make a declaration of his religious creed; if he was, I am persuaded the most orthodox would not condemn it. Gen. Washington was peculiarly careful in this particular; among the variety of his publications we find but little to lead us to a conclusion of his religious tenets—and as the Constitution does not even suggest any test of this kind, it is proper that the President should not bring himself forward in any point of view on this ground. He is not called on to administer any religious ordinances and while he intermeddles with no particular sect, and promotes the rights of all, neither the Clergy nor other individuals have a right to censure him for his own sentiments.
Suppose the President should make a declaration of his firm persuasion of the truth of the gospel, still a difficulty would remain among his opposers as to the particular tenets he maintained; some would say, that he was a Roman Catholic, others that he was an Armenian; some a Calvinist—in short, Socinians, Quakers, Baptists, Universalists, Swedenborgians, and even Sandemanians, would be clamorous to know to what doctrine he adhered. His declaration, therefore, as to his belief in the scripture, would not remedy the evil, for points of faith are as often contended for, as the avowal of a general principle. If religion is to be brought forward in this controversy, the President is perfectly right in keeping his creed to himself.
But why is this apprehension excited, that Mr. Jefferson is opposed to the Christian system? No part of his administration has had the most distant tendency to injure it; since his election "all things remain as they were" as it relates to the church; we go to meeting with as much order as usual, and return home without the least molestation; our Sabbaths are equally hallowed; the first and second bells ring with as much solemnity and regularity as formerly; the Clergy are as much respected, as well paid, dine out as fre-

quently, and in most instances as often as under the late administration; Ordinances are announced in our papers with their usual reverence, and there is as much good cheer on such occasions as in days of old. What then is the mischief? Where the danger, when nothing has taken place to discompose the most devout in their religious exercises? If we are disposed to religious duties, Mr. Jefferson will not disturb us; only let the Clergy mind their business, and I doubt not he will mind his. If some of them do not choose to pray for him, it would be decent not to pray at him; or if they totally omit the Vice-President, it is hoped that Heaven will not be the less careful to preserve him. The blessings of Providence are not partial, and though the enemies of the President and Vice-President may not think proper to remember them at the Throne of Grace, yet we trust they are not dependant on their clemency (though clothed in sacerdotal) but on the benevolence of the Supreme Being. To him we commit them, and it does not require the benediction of their adversaries to secure them a continuance in His holy keeping.
While speaking of the Clergy, I do not mean to include the whole order, as being thus opposed to the President; a large proportion of them, I am persuaded, reprobate the indecent publications which have appeared against him. As an order in society I shall ever respect them; but there are a few who have acted a part, which upon serious reflection they cannot justify to God, nor their own consciences. If such men would be more circumspect in their own conduct, and attend more to the duties of their own profession, the cause of religion would be more effectually supported, than by their calumny against the President. When he is as inattentive to his duty as President, as they are as Clergymen, it will be time for the people to find fault. Mr. Jefferson never gave such a strong evidence of his disbelief in Scripture, as they have of the negligence of their Parish, and if they are serious to propagate the gospel, it is incumbent on them to act more consistent with its principles. The Geography of this world is not the "one thing needful," neither are the "graces" of Chesterfield, an appropriate study for a Clergyman; less attention, therefore, to sublunary concerns, and more to heavenly, are highly becoming a Christian teacher. While such men are charging the President with infidelity, they should examine their own conduct, and possibly upon reflection, they would find the remainder of their lives could not be better spent, than in correcting their former imprudencies.

WASHINGTON-CITY, Nov. 18.
NAVAL VICTORY.
Yesterday Capt. Sterrett, commander of the Schooner Enterprize, part of the Mediterranean Squadron, arrived here, with despatches for the Secretary of the Navy.
Capt. Sterrett is the bearer of despatches from Commodore Dale, which exhibit a detailed account of the proceedings & situation of the Mediterranean Squadron.
On the 1st of August, the sch. Enterprize, commanded by Capt. Sterrett, and carrying 12 six pounders and 90 men, bound to Malta for a supply of water, fell in with a Tripolitan cruiser, being a ship of 14 six pounders, manned by 80 men.
At this time the Enterprize bore British colours. Capt. Sterrett interrogated the commander of the Tripolitan on the object of his cruise. He replied that he came out to cruise after the Americans; and that he lamented that he had not come along side of some of them. Capt. Sterrett, on this reply, hoisted American, in the room of British colours; and discharged a volley of musketry; which the Tripolitan returned by a partial broadside.—This was the commencement of a hard fought action, which begun at 9 A. M. and continued for three hours.
Three times, during the action the Tripolitan attempted to board the Enterprize, and was as often repulsed with great slaughter, which was greatly increased by the effective aid afforded by the marines. Three times, also, the Tripolitan struck her colours, and as often treacherously renewed the action, with the hope of disabling the crew of Capt. Sterrett, which, as usual, when the enemy struck her colours, came on deck and exposed themselves, while they gave three cheers as a mark of victory.
When for the third time, this treacherous attack was made, Capt. Sterrett gave orders to sink the Tripolitan, on which a scene of furious combat ensued, until the enemy cried for mercy.
Capt. Sterrett, listening to the voice of humanity, even after such perfidious conduct, ordered the captain either to come himself, or to send some of his officers on board the Enterprize. He was informed that the boat of the Tripolitan was so shattered as to be unfit for use. He asked, what security there was, that if he should send his men in his own boat they would not be murdered?
After numerous supplications and protestations the boat was sent: The crew of the Tripolitan was discovered to be in the most deplorable state. Out of 80 men, 20 were killed, and 30 wounded. Among the
killed were the second lieutenant & surgeon; and among the wounded were the captain and first lieutenant. And so decisive was the fire of the Enterprize that the Tripolitan was found to be in a most perilous condition, having received 18 shot between wind and water.
When we compare this great slaughter, with the fact that not a single individual of the crew of the Enterprize was in the least degree injured, we are lost in surprise at the uncommon good fortune which accompanied our seamen, and at the superior management of Capt. Sterrett.
All the officers and sailors manifested the truest spirit, and sustained the greatest efforts during the engagement. All, therefore, are entitled to encomium for their valour and good conduct. The marines, especially owing to the nearness of the vessels, which were within pistol shot of each other, were eminently useful.
After administering to the relief of the distresses of the wounded Tripolitans, and the wants of the crew, Capt. Sterrett ordered the ship of the enemy to be completely dismantled. Her masts were accordingly all cut down, and her guns thrown overboard. A spar was raised, on which was fixed, as a flag, a tattered sail; and in this condition the ship was dismissed.
On the arrival of the Tripolitan ship at Tripoli, so strong was the sensation of shame and indignation excited there, that the Bey ordered the wounded Captain to be mounted on a Jack Ass, and paraded through the streets as an object of public scorn. After which he received 500 bastinadoes.
So thunderstruck were the Tripolitans at this event, and at the apprehended destruction of their whole marine force, that the sailors, then employed at Tripoli on board of cruisers that were fitting out by the government, all deserted them, and not a man could be procured to navigate them.—Official.

Canadian Conspiracy.
A report has lately circulated here of the discovery of a plot in Montreal to burn and pillage that city. The editor, having used diligence in enquiring relative thereto, is now able to state, that the report is not groundless. It should seem, that sometime in the summer past, several persons, mostly strangers, frequently met at a tavern at the lower end of the Quebec suburbs, and denominated themselves white caps ; they would go at night and dig holes, use many strange gestures and charms, holding out the pretence of looking for hidden treasure. Their number was observed to increase, which creating suspicions of evil among the inhabitants, the magistracy is said to have watched and placed spies upon them, who reported that their intentions were to burn and pillage Montreal; that the number of confederates was about 60, combined by oath to obey the orders of their leaders, who were not made known to all. Upon this report of them, the magistrate issued warrants and apprehended several of them; who are now, to the number of 8 or 9, confined in irons in the gaol of that city; the rest having fled, it is supposed, to the States. The enquiry having been laid before the governor, he ordered an additional number of artillery on duty at that station, and a part of the militia to be armed and to patrol the streets. As far as discovery has been made, there appears to be not one native Canadian in the banditti.
The pernicious and growing practice of horse-racing in Dutchess county, New-York, has induced a number of well disposed citizens to petition the Legislature to restrain it by law.—They enumerate among the evils resulting from the practice, intoxication, swindling, dissipation of money, profanity, blasphemy, stealing, the maiming and death of citizens—the debauching of the morals of youth—and they suggest the propriety of suppressing the faro and co tables.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 24.
Just as we had prepared our paper for press, the letter bag of the Ranger, Captain Chamberlain, from London, was delivered at the Post-Office, containing London papers to the 12th October, which enables us to be the first, perhaps, on the continent, to detail the Preliminary Articles between England and France, and to announce their ratification on the part of the French Consul.
LONDON, Oct. 10.
YESTERDAY evening Paris papers reached us to the 7th inst. but at too late an hour for us to communicate, in any satisfactory way, the preliminaries of peace, and the ratification of them by the French Government, as announced in the Moniteur of the 6th inst.
This morning we received, by express, Journals of the 7th; and we have the pleasure of stating, that in the flag of truce, by which they were brought over, citizen Lauriston, aid-de-camp to Buonaparte, came passenger, with the ratification of the preliminaries. He landed at Dover at nine o'clock last night, and soon after proceeded to town, where he arrived this morning. The ratification was communicated to lord Hawkesbury, and was announced in the following
LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
Downing-street, Oct. 10.
The RATIFICATIONS of the PRELIMINARY ARTICLES of PEACE between his Majesty and the French Republic, signed on the 1st inst. were this day exchanged by the Right Honorable Lord Hawkesbury, one of His Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, and by M. Otto.
The park and tower guns were fired upon this happy occasion, and the general exultation was unbounded.
October 11.
About 3 o'clock, the following letter from lord Hawkesbury was posted up at the mansion-house, bank, Lloyd's, and stock exchange:
To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor.
Downing-street, Oct. 1801.
"My Lord—I have the satisfaction to inform your lordship, that Gen. Lauriston arrived in town this morning, with the Ratification of the Preliminaries of Peace, signed the 1st inst. The Ratification of the two governments has this afternoon been exchanged between M. Otto and myself."
(Signed) "HAWKESBURY."
The silence of our government on the terms of this Treaty, although of the less consequence from the communication of the Paris Journals, forms a strong and not very favorable contrast to the attention paid by the French Executive to the anxious and legitimate solicitude of the people. We are therefore compelled to resort to the Moniteur for the details of this important paper, observing, what we hear to be the fact, that in the original instrument Great-Britain has precedence to France in the preamble and signature.
PRELIMINARIES OF PEACE
Between the French Republic and his Britannic Majesty, signed at London, 9th Vendemiare, 10th year of the French Republic, (First Oct. 1801.)
[FROM THE MONITEUR.]
The First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, and His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland, being animated with an equal desire of putting a stop to the calamities of a destructive war, and to re-establish harmony and good understanding between the two Nations, have appointed for that purpose, viz. the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, Citizen LOUIS WILLIAM OTTO, commissary for the exchange of French prisoners, in England; and His Britannic Majesty, ROBERT BANKS JENKINSON, Esq. (commonly called lord Hawkesbury) one of the members of His Britannic Majesty's privy council, and principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs—who after duly exchanging their full powers in proper form, have agreed upon the following preliminary articles.
Article I. As soon as the preliminaries shall have been signed and ratified, sincere friendship shall be re-established between the French Republic and his Britannic Majesty by sea and land in every part of the world, and that all hostilities may immediately cease between them and their allies respectively, orders shall be transmitted accordingly to the sea and land forces with the utmost dispatch; each of the contracting parties engaging to give the necessary passports and facilities to accelerate the arrival of the said orders, and to ensure their execution. It is further agreed upon, that all conquests which may be made on the part of one or the other of the contracting parties, from either of them or their allies after the ratification of the present preliminaries, shall be regarded as void, and shall be faithfully included in the restitutions which are to take place after the ratification of the definitive treaty.
II. His Britannic Majesty shall restore to the French Republic and to her allies, namely, to His Catholic Majesty, and the Batavian Republic, all the possessions and colonies occupied or conquered by the English forces in the course of the present war, with the exception of the Island of Trinidad, and the Dutch possessions in the island of Ceylon, of which islands and possessions His Britannic Majesty reserves to himself the complete and entire sovereignty.
III. The port of the Cape of Good Hope shall be open to the commerce and navigation of the two contracting parties, who shall therein enjoy the same advantages.
IV. The Island of Malta, with its dependencies, shall be evacuated by the Eng-
lish troops, and restored to the order of St. John of Jerusalem. To secure the absolute independence of that island upon the one or the other of the contracting parties, it shall be placed under the guarantee and protection of a third power, to be determined by the definitive Treaty.
V. Egypt shall be restored to the Sublime Porte, the territory and possessions of which shall be maintained entire as they were before the present war.
VI. The territories and possessions of her Faithful Majesty shall also be maintained entire.
VII. The French troops shall evacuate the kingdom of Naples and the Roman state. The English forces shall likewise evacuate Porto-Ferrajo, and generally all the ports and islands which they occupy in the Mediterranean or Adriatic seas.
VIII. The Republic of the Seven United Islands shall be recognized by the French Republic.
IX. The evacuations, cessions, and restitutions, stipulated by the present preliminary articles, shall be carried into execution, in Europe within one month; on the continent and seas of Africa and America in three months; and on the continent and seas of Asia in six months after the ratification of the definitive treaty.
X. The respective prisoners shall, immediately after the exchange of the ratification of the definitive Treaty, be restored in a body, and without ransom, on the reciprocal payment of the private debts which they may have contracted.
Differences having arisen respecting the payment of the subsistence of the prisoners of War, the contracting powers reserve the right of deciding this question, by the definitive Treaty, according to the law of Nations and the principles sanctioned by common usage.
XI. In order to prevent all subjects of complaint and litigation which might arise on account of prizes made at sea after the signing of the Preliminary articles, it is reciprocally agreed that the vessels and effects which may be taken in the Channel, and in the seas of the North, after the space of 12 days, the date from the exchange of the ratification of the present Preliminary articles, shall be restored on each party; that the term shall be one month from the Channel and the seas of the North, as far as the Canary Islands inclusively, whether in the Ocean or in the Mediterranean; of two months from the said Canary Islands as far as the Equator; and finally, of five months in all the other parts of the world, without any exception or any other distinction more particular with respect to time and place.
XII. All the sequestrations laid on the one part or the other on the funds, revenues, and debts, of whatever kind they may be, belonging to one of the contracting powers, or to its citizens or subjects, shall be taken off immediately after the signing of the definitive Treaty.
The decision of all claims between the individuals of both nations respecting all debts, property, effects, or rights whatsoever, which in conformity to the acknowledged usages and rights of nations shall be forthcoming at the epocha of peace, shall be referred to the competent tribunals, and in these cases prompt and complete justice shall be done, where such claims shall be respectively made. It is agreed that the present article shall, immediately after the ratification of the definitive Treaty, be applied by the contracting powers to the respective allies and individuals of their nations, under the condition of just reciprocity.
XIII. With respect to the fisheries on the coast of Newfoundland, and the adjacent Islands and in the gulf of St. Lawrence, the two powers are agreed to replace them on the same footing upon which they were before the present war, reserving to themselves the right of making, by the definitive Treaty, such arrangements as may appear just and reciprocally useful, in order to place the fisheries of both nations in the most proper state for the maintenance of peace.
XIV. In all cases of restitution agreed to by the present Treaty, the fortifications shall be restored in the state in which they are at the moment of the signing of the present Treaty, and all the fortifications constructed since the occupation of them shall remain entire.
It is further agreed, that in all the cases of concessions stipulated in the present Treaty, a term of 3 years, to date from the ratification of the Treaty of definitive peace, shall be allowed to the inhabitants, of whatever description or rank they may be, to dispose of their property acquired or possessed, whether previous to or during the present war; during which term of 3 years they shall be at full liberty to exercise freely their religion, and to enjoy their property.
The same privileges are granted in the restored countries to all those who shall have made establishments in them of whatever kind they may be, during the time that these countries were in possession of Great-Britain.
With respect to the other inhabitants of the restored countries, it is agreed that none of them shall be prosecuted, disturbed, or molested in their persons or in their properties, on any pretence whatever, on account

of their conduct or political opinions, or of their attachment to either of the two powers, or for any other reason, unless for debts contracted with respect to individuals, or for acts subsequent to the definitive Treaty.
XV. The present preliminary articles shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at London, in the space of fifteen days at farthest; and immediately after the ratification, plenipotentiaries shall be appointed on both sides, who shall repair to Amiens, in order to proceed to the arrangement of the definitive Treaty, in concert with the allies of the contracting powers.
In witness whereof, we the undersigned plenipotentiaries of the First Consul of the French Republic and his Britannic Majesty, by virtue of our respective full powers, have signed the present preliminary articles, and have thereto affixed our seals.
Done at London, on the 9th Vendemiare, 10th Year of the French Republic —the 1st of October, 1801.
(Signed) OTTO. HAWKESBURY.
We understand that the marquis Cornwallis will proceed, in a few days, to Amiens, to meet the French Plenipotentiary, and proceed with all possible dispatch to the final arrangement of peace. The First Consul's brother, Joseph Buonaparte, who signed the Treaty of Luneville, will probably be appointed Plenipotentiary on the part of the French Republic. It is believed, in the ministerial circles, that the definitive Treaty will occupy but a few weeks. The greatest difficulties will certainly arise from the variety of considerations to which the discussion of a fair and satisfactory Treaty of Commerce must give birth.
The rejoicings and illuminations will be universal throughout the metropolis this evening.
When citizen Lauriston, Buonaparte's aid-de-camp, arrived this morning in St. James's-street, the horses of his carriage were taken out, and he was drawn to his hotel by the populace, with loud acclamations.
LONDON, October 12.
A report is current in this city, that Buonaparte has caused it to be made known to the Lord Mayor, that he proposes to dine with the Lord Mayor elect of London, on the 9th of November next. —
RIGA, Sept. 13.
A Courier, despatched by the Chief of brigade, Duroc, passed through this town yesterday, on his way to Paris. He carries a convention concluded between the Court of Russia and the French Republic, and which is to be signed by M. de Markow as soon as it arrives. It contains the solution of some difficulties which remained between the two powers.
BOSTON, December 1.
Commotion at St. Domingo.
Last evening arrived the brig Polly, Capt Simonds, 30 days from Cape-Francois. The following are extracts of letters from that place:
Cape Francois, Saturday morning, 25th Oct, 1801.
DEAR SIR, AMIDST a scene of murder and robbery you will not expect I can be very particular in my remarks. Without any preface I will inform you, that yesterday morning the present commander (a black man) received official advice, that an army of revolted negroes had encamped a few leagues without the gates, their intention being to march to the city and fire it in several places, and massacre the whites, and those blacks in power. Immediately the houses and stores were closed and the drums beat to arms, the women and children running to and fro in wild confusion, presented a sight not to be described. 3000 troops were under arms in a few minutes, & the General in person headed a party of horse. Nothing was suffered to come on shore or go on board; those of us on shore, were in a disagreeable situation, we had engaged our vessels full of passengers for America, and those citizens, who skulked from the Place des Arms, were employed in packing up their valuable property. I assure you, my feelings were worked up to a pitch never before experienced. The dragoons finally marched or rather flew to meet the enemy, and our anxiety to be sure was great to hear from them. We waited until 10 at night, when they returned almost dead with fatigue, it raining in torrents the whole day, and the weather uncommonly hot. They came up with a part of the enemy 5 leagues from here, and charged upon them, took a few prisoners, and bro't them in, they saw 600 encamped. Those taken will soon be executed, but this is but the beginning of trouble, for to day again the drums are beating and no business doing. God only knows how it will terminate. I wish it was possible to get a letter. I can obtain but little information from any Frenchman, a general panic has seized them all, and no one speaks loud enough to be heard. The country presents a scene of unheard of murder. The insurgents yesterday massacred a number of whites, among which were several women
and old men. Our Consul had engaged his passage by the vessel this goes by. An express has just gone to General Moyes, who is at Fort Liberty, to march with his troops to form a junction with Christopher. Something decisive will soon take place. This place inevitably will again be destroyed, and appearances now threaten it extremely."
10 o'clock.
The artillery and part of the infantry have marched. Accounts from the enemy are so various that we cannot ascertain the number nor discipline of his army. A number of the inhabitants lodged on board of the American vessels last night; they were obliged to go off privately and in a tremendous rain. Sleep is a stranger to my eyes; we were shut up in a small room last night, every moment expecting something dreadful. To-night will be the same. Every night since I have been here, murder has been executed, and shocking to relate, I have seen human entrails carried about upon the bayonets of the inhuman soldiers."
Monday morning.
As yet we are safe thank God. Last evening a body of troops marched out with provisions sufficient for several days, and their bread upon their bayonets. The fight was novel and not unpleasing. An embargo has been laid upon all vessels in port.
Tuesday Morning.
At 2 o'clock this morning the Chief of the Insurgents was brought in a prisoner and lodged in gaol. He is fettered in a cruel manner, and his cries are heard a long distance. Ingenuity is at work contriving torments for this poor wretch—'tis said four horses will be employed to draw him in quarters. His name is FLARILL, and his object was to overthrow the government of TOUSSAINT.
Our ears are momentarily pained with accounts of shocking murders committed in the country. Only a few miles from this place a few days ago, whole families were cut off in the most barbarous manner. I expect the embargo will be off to-morrow."
Oct. 29, 12 o'clock, at night.
In the course of this day the streets have been strewed with dead bodies, which are suffered to putrify without removal. Another Chief of the Insurgents is taken; but the danger is not so much from without as within. The Generals have been fired at and one of their aids was last night killed by the side of his Chief. Last night again the alarm was spread that the Cape was on fire. To-day Gen. Christopher with his own hands cut off the heads of two men, and left them, among heaps of dead in the public square."
October 30.
Business has commenced here though not without much difficulty, confidence is not restored and the inhabitants think themselves not safe. Executions of the Criminals are hourly taking place; and we as often hear of their cruel murders; scarcely a white is left in the part of the Country where they marched. Last evening I was at our Consul's; he gave me a more particular account of this bloody transaction than any I had before received; the plans of the insurgents were well arranged, they had appointed all their officers and assigned to them their different stations. This City was the first object of their intended plan, and I assure you it had nearly succeeded. We should have immediately fallen victims to their brutal rage. Toussaint and Dessalines are now in the vicinity, the latter with a powerful army. The fears of the people are by no means subsided."
Capt. Symonds informs us, that when he failed, the minds of the people at the Cape were in a degree tranquilized; and the regularity of business was nearly restored. He understood that about 1500 of the insurgents had been shot, drowned, &c. and that it was supposed they had previously massacred about 60 white people.
ALBANY, November 20.
THE speeches of certain republican members of the Legislature of Rhode-Island, on the subject of appointing a Thanksgiving, in which there is not a sentiment unjustified by the purest regard for Christianity, have been reported in some of the anti-republican prints in language which never fell from those members, and which is calculated to fix upon them the stigma of infidelity. We allude to the speeches of Messrs. Pitman and Greene, correct reports of which the reader will find under the Rhode-Island head, in this paper. It is a stale trick of the anti-republicans to represent their opponents as infidels. But it has been so long played off, without producing the desired effect, that we should suppose its authors would ere now have been convinced of the folly of such an attempt. Tho' the Republican Editors have not perhaps been so much in the habit of boasting of the religion of their party, as the federal Editors have been, of proclaiming the orthodoxy and piety of theirs; yet we presume, on the best grounds, that there are as many sincere believers, who "show their faith by their works," among the one party as the other. But Newspapers are not the channel through which DEITY is to be made acquainted with those who worship HIM in sincerity. The Pharisee proclaims his religion on the housetop; whilst the man of true Piety seeks not
the applause of men, but rests satisfied with the promise, that HE who sees in secret his good works, will in due time reward him openly.
Let the federal Editors boast of their religion, and scoff at the infidelity of republicans. It may do more harm to the cause they espouse, than perhaps they are aware of. It may induce men to compare the works of modern federalism with the precepts of our religion. Many are the instances in which the volume of inspiration might be quoted to the condemnation of the late Administration. Can there, for example, be a more accurate or more lively description of that Administration, than our Saviour gives, when speaking of the Pharisees, in the 23d chapter of Matthew: "For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers."
How far this Text will admit of the application we have made of it, let the honest farmer determine, who has paid a heavy land tax, to support a useless army, and other equally absurd and extravagant measures. Our Saviour continues—"But all their works they do to be seen of men." Remember this, ye whose Religion is displayed only in the columns of a Newspaper, and in street-brawlings or ale-house disputations. Indeed the whole chapter is deserving of serious attention, as being a complete picture of the federalism displayed under Mr. Adams's Presidency; and if John Wood, who proposes to write a History of that period, shall delineate as faithfully, we have no hesitation in saying, that his book will deserve general encouragement.

NEWPORT, Saturday, Dec. 5, 1801.
The following are the particulars of an insurrection that happened at Algiers about the 18th of September. When the Dey was in his mosque at prayers with his aids, ten Turks entered the palace, armed, took possession of his seat, hauled down his colours, secured the palace doors, hoisted a flag for a new Dey, & from the windows above, offered a reward of 10,000 sequins to any person who would take his life.—As he could not come out of the door of the mosque, on account of its being situated under the windows of the palace, and the Turks within having it in their power to fire upon them, they cut a passage through the back of the building, and entered the palace, attacked the insurgents, seven of whom made their escape, the other three fought until two of them, overcome by loss of blood, were compelled to surrender. The other was cut to pieces in the Dey's seat, after usurping that post of honor for 3 hours. All, however, was quiet the 22d September.
The London Morning Post of the 12th October, contains a very particular account of the arrival and reception of citizen Lauriston, Gen. of Brigade, and one of Buonaparte's Chief aides de camp, bearer of the ratification of the Preliminaries. Speaking on the subject, it states,
The night previous to his quitting Paris, which he did on Thursday morning, he supped with Buonaparte. The Chief Consul made use of these remarkable words at parting:—"General, if they receive you well, I shall never forget it; if they do not, I will never forgive them."
TEXT.
I go to that country where neither the mist of Democracy nor the rust of federalism doth corrupt, and where no thieves break thro' and steal five thousand dollars at a time.
[Vide Porcupine's farewell address to the People of the United States.] COMMENT.
On the evening of the 11th, the populace of London, enraged at some expressions of Peter Porcupine, reprobatory of the Peace, made a violent assault on his dwelling-house in Pall Mall, and his Printing-Office in Southampton-street, the windows and materials of which were completely demolished. It seems he refused to join in the general illumination on that joyous occasion.

MY LOVE'S A VESSEL TRIM AND GAY.
A SONG—BY DIBDIN.
My love's a vessel trim and gay, Rigg'd out with truth, and stor'd with honour; As through life's sea she cuts her way, All eyes with rapture gaze upon her, Built ev'ry wondering heart to please, The lucky shipwright's love and fancy, From stem to stern she moves with ease, And at her launch they call'd her Nancy.
When bearing up against life's gales, So well she stems the dangerous trouble, I call her Anna as she sails, Her form's so grand, her air's so noble. When o'er the trembling waves she flies, That plays and sports as she advances, "Well said, my Nan," I fondly cries, As my full heart in concert dances.
In studding-sails before life's breeze, So sweetly gentle is her motion, She's Ann—for as she moves with ease, She seems the queen of all the ocean. But when on Sundays rigg'd in flays, Like beauty gay, and light as fancy, She wins my heart a thousand ways, I then delight to call her Nancy.
When laying on a tack so neat, The breeze her milk-white bosom filling, She skims the yielding waves so fleet, I call her Nance, my bosom thrilling. Thus is she precious to my heart, By whate'er name come's o'er my fancy; Graceful or gay; grand, neat, or smart, Or Anna, Ann, Nan, Nance, or Nancy.
LATE OMISSIONS.
The appointment of so determined a re- publican as GIDEON GRANGER, Esq. to the important office of Post-Master General, must be highly pleasing to every friend of the present administration. This gentleman will find an ample field for the display of his firm patriotism, and superior talents, and will care, we hope, the many impositions which the republican interest, but in a particular manner, the editors of republican papers have been subject to, through the channel of the Post-Offices.

DOCTOR BARTLETT
HAS returned from New-York, with a general and excellent assortment of DRUGS AND MEDICINES, and is ready to attend to the application of his friends and the public when called on, in the line of his profession.
Dr. BARTLETT has taken some pains to investigate the nature of the Malignant Fever, as it appeared in New-York during his stay there, and finds it similar to that which appeared in the West Indies and New- port—which came under his observation, and therefore has no cause to alter his prac- tice in regard to it. This dreadful malady has subsided in New-York, within the last week, except two cases which appear to be favorable.
Doctor BARTLETT's Drugs, Medicines, &c. which he has now on hand—and which he finds are too large in quantity for his own practice—he proposes to dispose of by retail at very reduced prices, for cash, and are as follows: viz.

Many other Articles of Tinctures, Mix- tures, &c. too tedious to enumerate.
Boxes of Medicine, with full directions for private Families or Ships, put up at the shortest notice, with suitable directions for any climate.
Doctor BARTLETT, astonished at the presumption of a Mr. Senter, in asserting in an advertisement, in the Newport Mercury —saying "that Operations in the Eye by extracting the Cataract, and cutting for the Stone in the Bladder, had not been perform- ed by any Person residing in this State"— Thinks it incumbent on him to deny it. Dr. Bartlett has been 21 years in the prac- tice of Physick and Surgery, in Europe, in the West-Indies, and America, in all their separate and most difficult branches.—And since his residence in Newport, has perform- ed many operations in the Eyes—such as re- moving the Cataract by depression and ex- traction—many vouchers of which he can produce—also Films, Gutta Cerena, Oph- thalmia's, &c.—But Lithotomy, or cutting for the Stone in the Bladder, Dr. Bartlett first performed in Hotel Dieu at Paris, and has since performed it in the West-Indies several times. No notice would have been taken of the aforesaid advertisement by Dr. Bart- lett, but he has been influenced to do it, by the importunity of his friends.
