LONDON, November 3.
It was rumoured this morning, that general Andreossi is arrived at Dover. He was expected last night, but we do not believe that any certain account has been received of his arrival.
Dispatches continue to be sent with the greatest expedition from the different ports. The Leogane, which failed from Portsmouth on Sunday, is gone to the Cape.
The Resistance frigate failed from Portsmouth yesterday, for the Mediterranean.—The Donegal of 74 guns, Sir R. Strachan, will sail as soon as she is manned. Very pressing invitations continue to be made to seamen to enter; fresh handbills have been posted up throughout Portsmouth and the adjacent towns, and another large house of rendezvous has been opened at Portsmouth.
It is confidently stated at the War-Office, that in the course of the ensuing week, beating orders will be issued, and recruiting officers dispatched to the different ports of the United Kingdom.
Within these few days, on the road from Paris to St. Cloud, lamps have been put up, as in the time of the monarchy. The count travels eight horses, and is just twenty minutes from St. Cloud to his palace at the Thuilleries, a distance of near five miles.
GLASGOW, November 6.
A Dutch mail and Paris papers, till the 31st ult. have been received since our last.
Although the Paris Journals have, for some time past, daily asserted, that the affairs of Switzerland were settled upon such a basis as would give satisfaction to all the powers of Europe, yet we find the reverse to be the truth. The army of confederates is not disbanded. The Diet of Schwitz still regards itself as the central authority of Helvetia, and has confirmed the authorities established in the different Cantons since the insurrection. On the 23d ult. a French demibrigade, under the command of general Ney, entered Berne, and a few days previous thereto, some of their troops marched into the Grisons. The Helvetic senate immediately opened their sittings, at which general Rapp was present, when they issued a decree requesting the national prefects to convoke the cantonal diet, to elect deputies to be sent to Paris to point out to Buonaparte, the means of restoring tranquility, & conciliating all parties. Considering the influence under which these deputies have been chosen, the result of their mission may easily be anticipated. They are to repair to Paris by the 15th November instant.
The last letters from Gibraltar state, that the communication between the Spaniards and the garrison had been shut up by orders from the Spanish court; and the commandant at St. Roque had been changed, in consequence of a suspicion that he was too intimate with certain officers of the garrison.
The Courier de Londres of last night, under the head Paris, October 29, states, that Jacobins are exciting the Southern provinces of France to insurrection. The Jacobins of Toulouse and Marseilles have once more united their efforts. Several individuals from those departments have very lately been taken into custody, in Paris. This has given much uneasiness to Buonaparte, who has in consequence, doubled the patrols at St. Cloud.—This accounts for the late decree, by which fourteen of the departments are deprived of the benefit of jury.
It is said prince Ruspoli has refused to accept the office of Grand Master of Malta.

PHILADELPHIA, December 24.
Extract of a letter from London, of the 5th October, 1802.
“Some very important intrigues are carrying on between the First Consul and our Government, and as soon as Gen. Andreossi arrives it is presumed the matter will be settled respecting New-Orleans. It is said the First Consul for the sum of ten millions sterling, has offered it underhand to Great Britain, and will guarantee it to them. I make no doubt the bargain will be struck. Would it not have been a prudent caution in the executive of the United States to have treated upon the business of the purchase of said province particularly as it must have been known the great want the first consul is in of money—in my opinion the business might still be accomplished: England is by no means in want of the province, but rather than see it in the hands of France, they may probably purchase.

A NEW YEAR'S GIFT TO THE LADIES.
Ye blooming fair, that grace this town, Shun folly's luring ways, Solicit virtue's lasting smile, Then peace will crown your days.
O fun the ostentatious path, That leads the soul below; That leads her to eternal wrath, And everlasting woe.
Let virtue be your chief delight, The sum of all your pride, For vain's the tongue, high wrought in spite, That studies to deride.
Thus strive to gain that joyful place, joyful place, Where reigns no care or fear, Let virtue ev'ry action grace, That ye transact this year.
EPILEPSY.
A few days ago, a woman passing along the streets of Bourdeaux, was suddenly attacked with a fit of epilepsy, having at the moment a child of six months old in her arms. Such a distressing situation speedily attracted a crowd of spectators, who were however, unable to yield the woman any relief. At that moment, a young falor breaking through the crowd, called for some grains of rough salt, which he forced into the woman's mouth. This immediately had the effect of restoring the woman's sensation and speech, and her convulsions were at once put a stop to. The young man, who had been at Madagafar, said, that he there saw this remedy applied to persons in epilepsy, with wonderful success.

permitted to enter here. Two Schooners from Norfolk, one of 40 tons, was condemned, vessel and cargo; the other, the captain told me, would be cleared, but the cargo would be condemned. There are many other American vessels here in perplexing situations.
"I was the only American vessel cleared out this day. I was told by the commodore, that no other would be permitted to clear out as an embargo was shortly expected to take place. At 3 o'clock, A. M. alarm guns were fired—soon after an engagement ensued between the French and Brigands, which continued all day; and I saw the smoke till I got to St. Marks point."
"In coming down the Bite, I saw the people who had left St. Marks the night before, going up in small boats, one boat towing two others, filled with men, women and children. I counted sixty five boats, and spoke one of them, and was told I must take care of the Brigands, as they might be momentarily expected out of Gonaives; on the shore of which place, I saw numerous lights as I passed—but having a good breeze, I got by without being molested. I thought myself extremely happy, as they spare none with a white face."
"Gonaives, St. Marks, L'Arcahaye, and all the out places, except Port Republicain, are in the hands of the Brigands, whom general Dessalines has joined. The blacks at St. Marks sent in word, that they intended shortly to pay the French a visit at Port Republicain."
"While I was there, the centinels were frequently killed at the gates, and burnings, and other depredations were committed within pistol shot of the town. The whites, men, women and children, were indiscriminately massacred wherever they were found."
"The whites had erected a gallows in the market place, and the blacks one upon the hill, where executions on both sides, were hourly taking place, in sight of each other."
"The whites have invented a new way of getting rid of the blacks—they have got a ship called a stiffer , on board of which vessel they shut down a hold full of blacks, and stifle them to death by burning brimstone. The Morning after, they discharge the bodies into boats and launches, carry them off the harbour, and then throw them overboard."
From the Guardian of Freedom.
Immediately on the receipt of the intelligence of the shutting of the Port of New-Orleans, our executive wrote to the executive of the United States on the subject—that executive, prompt in its attention to the interests of every part of the Union, has taken measures to redress the grievance. The following letter from the president of the United States to governor Garrard, was received by yesterday's mail, and politely handed by his excellency for publication—We hope it will be satisfactory to our fellow citizens.
Washington, Dec. 16, 1802.
Sir, Your favor of Nov. 30, has been duly received. The occlusion of the Port of New Orleans by the Spaniards, which is the subject of it, was calculated to give great alarm throughout the United States, and especially the Western parts. Information was received here from N. Orleans on the 6th inst. and on the 8th measures were taken to have the proceeding rectified. We think the evidence tolerably conclusive that it was not the consequence of any order from Europe, but merely an irregularity of the intendant. Measures were immediately put in motion for duly impressing him with the consequence of perseverance, and the Spanish minister here, expressing his entire conviction that the prohibition was unauthorized, undertook immediately to remonstrate to him against it, and also to dispatch a letter to the governor general, who resides at the Havannah, to interpose efficaciously, and without delay. We trust therefore, that it will be as promptly remedied as the distance permits. It has furnished however a proper occasion of urging on Spain the danger of leaving the peace of the two countries exposed to the caprice of any officer, and the importance of some arrangement which shall leave us independent of that caprice, and free to maintain this treaty right, without crossing the Atlantic to seek redress. For the present it is the interest of every part of our republic to cherish peace, and await a friendly rectification of the injury: and I have no doubt, that seeing our present situation in a true point of view, you will concur in inculcating a reliance that the government will not be wanting in a just interference to preserve the rights of the nation. The uncertainty with what power we may have to settle this matter adds to its difficulties. I take the liberty of inclosing to you a copy of my communication to congress, and of tendering you assurances of my great respect and consideration.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Wednesday, December 22, 1802.
A message was received from the president of the United States by Mr. Lewis, his secretary, imparting to the house the information requested respecting the violation on the part of Spain of the treaty between the United States and that nation.
The message is as follows:
"Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, "I now transmit a report from the Secretary of State, with the information requested in your resolution of the 17th instant."
"In making this communication, I deem it proper to observe, that I was led by the regard due to the rights and interests of the United States, and to the just sensibility of the portion of our fellow-citizens, more immediately affected by the irregular proceeding at New Orleans, to lose not a moment in causing every step to be taken which the occasion claimed from me: being equally aware of the obligation to maintain, in all cases, the rights of the nation, and to employ, for that purpose, those just and honorable means, which belong to the character of the United States."
"TH: JEFFERSON.
"Dec. 22, 1802."
The message is accompanied by letters from our consul at New Orleans—the proclamation of the intendant—a letter from the governor of the Mississippi territory to the secretary of state, enclosing a letter written to the governor of Louisiana—and a letter from the governor of Kentucky to the president.
FROM THE SCIOTO GAZETTE.
Secretary's Office, 17th Dec. 1802.
Sir, ON Tuesday last, I handed to governor St. Clair, a letter from the department of state, informing him of the president's determination that his commission of governor of the North-western territory should cease on his receipt of the notification. Pains will, no doubt, be taken to misrepresent the motives of Mr. Jefferson, in this procedure. But the members of the convention who received the governor's communication, the most prominent feature of which was an intemperance of language towards the general government, and a disorganizing spirit of evil tendency, must have expected this event.
With sentiments of esteem, I am fir, your respectful, And most obedient servant, CHARLES W. BYRD. DR. TIFFIN.
By request we publish the following letters. (Copy)
Department of State, 22d November, 1802.
Sir, The president observing in an address lately delivered by you to the convention, held at Chillicothe, an intemperance and indecorum of language towards the legislature of the United States, and a disorganizing spirit and tendency of very evil example, and grossly violating the rules of conduct enjoined by your public station, determines that your commission of governor of the North-western territory shall cease on the receipt of this notification.
I am, Sir, respectfully, Your obedient servant, JAMES MADISON. AR. ST. CLAIR, Esq. } Chillicothe. }
To the Honorable James Madison, Secretary of State.
Cincinnati, 21st Dec. 1802.
Sir, Your letter of the 22d November, notifying to me that the president had determined that upon the receipt of that letter, my commission of governor of the North-western territory should cease, was delivered to me by Mr. Secretary Byrd, on the 14th day of this month. I request of you, fir, to present my humble thanks to the president for that favour, as he has thereby discharged me from an office I was heartily tired off, about six weeks sooner than I had determined to rid myself of it; as he may have observed from an address, not to the convention, but to the people, on the 8th instant. I cannot, however, agree with the president, that in my address to the convention, which is assigned as the reason of my being dismissed, that there was either an intemperance, or indecorum of language towards the legislature of the United States, or a disorganizing spirit of evil tendency and example; unless an honest and true representation of facts deserve those epithets; or that "The rules of conduct enjoined by my public station" were in any way violated, unless it be understood, that the rule of conduct for men in office is an implicit and blind obedience. As the convention, fir, was to meet in pursuance of an act of congress, whereby the election of the members was directed to be made according to a law of the territory that had existed, but had been long repealed. A sense of public duty led me to cause the elections to be made conformably to the spirit of the act, and the existing election laws, as they could not be made conformably to the words of the act, and when the convention was met, I had done within my public capacity. Every citizen had a right to address that body, either openly or in writing, and that right was common to me with the rest; and I
believe, fir, it as a paramount duty which every person owes to the community of which he is a member to give warning, either to the representatives or to the body, when he sees that the rights of that community are invaded, from whatever quarter the invasion may come, and to direct them, if he can, to the means of warding it off, or of repelling it; and I scruple not to say, that the violent, hasty and unprecedented intrusion of the legislature of the United States, into the internal concerns of the North-western territory, was at least indecorous and inconsistent with its public duty, and I might add, that the transferring, above five thousand people, without their knowledge or consent, from a country where they were in possession of self government, to another where they will be, at least for a time deprived of that privilege, was something more than indecorous, and that had it happened in Germany, where such things have happened, no man in America, would have hesitated to call it by a harsher term.
Degraded as our country is, and abject as too many of her sons are become, there are still a vast proportion of them who will be at no loss for the proper term.
Be pleased also, fir, to accept my thanks for the peculiar delicacy you observed in committing the delivery of your letter, and in furnishing him with a copy of it, to Mr. Byrd, against whom there were in your hands to be laid before the president, complaints of something more than mere indecorum, and of a total neglect of and refusal to perform his official duties. It is, fir, such strokes as this which serves to develope character, and like the relief in painting, bring out the figure, distinctly, in its proper shape; it produced however no other emotions but that kind of subrissus which physiognomists tell us is the expression on the countenance of a certain mental sensation, which I do not choose to name, and never fails of producing that effect.
With due respect, I am,
Sir, Your obedient servant. AR. ST. CLAIR.
LOUISVILLE, December 23.
We are indebted to the politeness of a respectable merchant in this town, for the following extract of a letter from his partner, dated
New-Orleans, Nov. 12, 1802.
Dear Sir, My last letter to you was truly unpleasant. The situation of affairs here are still the same as when I wrote to you last. The orders of the Intendant are rigidly put in force, and we have nothing to hope from his clemency—he is arrogant and imperious, and dislikes the Americans.
Every thing here, in the commercial way is unhinged—A number of vessels are here, and daily arriving from the United States, not knowing what to do for the best—some few have proceeded up to the Natchez.
A few days ago a quantity of cotton arrived from Natchez, which got wet on the passage. Application was made to the Intendant, to land the cotton in order to dry it. At first the owners were denied; but at last liberty was granted, after frequent applications and the interference of influential friends.
On the 10th instant an express arrived from Natchez, with letters from governor Wm. C. C. Claibourne, to the Governor of this city, requesting officially to know, if the city of New-Orleans is no longer the place of deposit for the produce of the United States; if not, what place is assigned for that purpose; if none is assigned, whether or not any place will be assigned.
Shortly after the arrival of the express, the ministry of the Province went into council and still are—the result unknown.
Every description of produce low—The French are hourly expected to take possession of the city, &c.
By the letter alluded to above, we were informed, that the Intendant would permit our produce to be sold out of the boats by paying him 12 1-2 per cent.

with the general estimates. A small force in the Mediterranean will still be necessary to restrain the Tripoline cruisers; and the uncertain tenure of peace with some other of the Barbary powers, may eventually require that force to be augmented. The necessity of procuring some smaller vessels for that service, will raise the estimate; but the difference in their maintenance will soon make it a measure of economy.
Presuming it will be deemed expedient to expend annually a convenient sum towards providing the naval defence which our situation may require. I cannot but recommend that the first appropriations for that purpose, may go to the saving what we already possess. No cares, no attentions, can preserve vessels from rapid decay, which lie in water, and exposed to the sun. These decays require great and constant repairs, and will consume, if continued, a great portion of the monies destined to naval purposes. To avoid this waste of our resources, it is proposed to add to our navy yard here a dock within which our present vessels may be laid up dry, and under cover from the sun. Under these circumstances experience proves that works of wood will remain scarcely at all affected by time. The great abundance of running water which this situation possesses, at heights far above the level of the tide, if employed as is practised for lock navigation, furnishes the means for raising and laying up our vessels, on a dry and sheltered bed. And should the measure be found useful here, similar depots for laying up, as well as for building & repairing vessels, may hereafter be undertaken at other Navy yards, offering the same means. The plans and estimates of the work, prepared by a person of skill and experience, will be presented to you, without delay, and from these it will be seen that scarcely more than has been the cost of one vessel is necessary to save the whole, and that the annual sum to be employed towards its completion may be adapted to the views of the legislature as to naval expenditure.
To cultivate peace and maintain commerce and navigation in all their lawful enterprises—to foster our fisheries as nurseries of navigation, and for the nurture of man, and protect the manufactures adapted to our circumstances; to preserve the faith of the nation by an exact discharge of its debts and contracts, expend the public money with the same care and economy we would practise with our own, and impose on our citizens no unnecessary burthens; to keep in all things within the pale of our constitutional powers, and cherish the federal union, as the only rock of safety; these, fellow citizens, are the landmarks by which we are to guide ourselves in all our proceedings. By continuing to make these our rule of action, we shall render to our countrymen the true principles of their constitution, and promote an union of sentiment and of action, equally auspicious to their happiness and safety. On my part you may count on a cordial concurrence in every measure for the public good; and on all the information I possess which may enable you to discharge to advantage the high functions with which you are invested by your country.

THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
THE Editor some time since, declared his intention of enlarging the KENTUCKY GAZETTE at the commencement of the present year;—but as one disappointment generally begets another, he can only inform his readers, that he has not yet been able to procure paper of a proper size, which he hopes will be a sufficient apology for the GAZETTE appearing in its usual form. He flatters himself that it will assume an appearance next week, more worthy of public patronage.
THE advance of Two Dollars, which is due from most of the subscribers for the GAZETTE, it is hoped will be punctually paid.—Those who have not an opportunity of immediately complying, will still be considered as subscribers, until such opportunity offers, and their papers forwarded as usual, unless they give notice to the contrary.
IN a few days the accounts of those living in town, will be presented for settlement.
THE MEDLEY.
A DISAPPOINTMENT in procuring paper, has also obliged the Editor to defer the publication of the first number of the MEDLEY until the last Tuesday in the month, at which time it will certainly commence, and thereafter be continued regularly.
THE number on the subscription list for the MEDLEY, has already extended beyond the most sanguine expectations of the Editor; but what peculiarly adds to his gratification, is, to find among that number, a great proportion of Ladies, under whose protecting auspices, double diligence shall be used to make the work worthy of a patronage so amiable.
On Saturday last, an election was held at the court house, for seven trustees for the town of Lexington; when the following gentlemen were elected.

SUMMARY OF NEWS.
The British influence at the Turkish court, is on the decline, while that of the French is progressing rapidly. Pashwan Oglou has made his peace with the Porte, and was on his march at the head of 22,000 thousand men, to reduce the rebellious Janissaries of Belgrade. The Porte has also determined on the expulsion of the bays from Egypt, contrary to the advice of the English general Stewart; and it is rumoured that Egypt is destined privately as the price of the peace made
with France, who now seems the only favoured nation, as far, at least, as the will is concerned. A new revolution in the government of Holland is expected to take place shortly. The minister Schimmelpennink, supported by the generals Daendels and Dumonceau, appears to act a considerable part in this enterprise; and it is supposed that Schimmelpennink will be the first consul of the Batavian republic. Buonaparte, who it seems is not very fond of revolutionizing, has ordered them to desist, but whether his mandate will be attended to or not, time must determine.—The affairs of Switzerland begin to assume an awful and gloomy aspect. Buonaparte's proclamation to them, has met the fate it merited. Those who were found circulating it, have been arrested. The insurgents are every where in force, and some skirmishes have taken place. A French army of 40,000 men, under the command of general Ney, is now organizing for the invasion of Switzerland.—The Swiss, on the other hand, are making active preparations for their reception; every one capable, being obliged to take arms.—Considerable dissatisfaction prevails among the great European powers, especially between France, England, Austria and Russia. The most active preparations are making in all the French ports, particularly at Toulon—and it is said, that more naval stores have been imported into France from the Baltic, within these last fifteen months, than in the eight preceding years. All the English men of war in the harbour of Portsmouth, have been ordered to sea, with four months provision on board. Their destination was not known, as they had sealed orders, which were not to be opened till they had passed the Scilly islands. Orders had also been sent to the English fleet in the Mediterranean, to rendezvous all its force in the harbour of La Valetta, in the island of Malta, and all the officers on leave of absence from Malta, were ordered to join their respective corps immediately.—Upon the whole, it is thought that the present peace is only a deceitful calm; that hostilities will re-commence with redoubled violence—and that the invasion of Switzerland will be the signal of renewed warfare.
French West Indies—Here all is a complicated scene of horror and desolation. On the 3d of November, gen. Le Clerc breathed his last. His body was embalmed, and put on board a 74, in order to be conveyed to France, under a tremendous discharge of artillery from the whole fleet. General Rochambeau succeeds him. The brigands are in possession of almost the whole of St. Domingo. General Dessalines was killed in forming St. Marks, and all the other black generals have joined the brigands. The French arising from the number of dead bodies, is said to be inconceivable.
