THE subscriber do hereby warn every person against buying a certain parcel of land lying in Sandbornton, in the county of Strafford, in the State of New-Hampshire, being part of lot No. 63 in the first division of lots, containing fifty acres and bounded as follows, viz. beginning at the northerly end of said lot, thence running southerly carrying the whole width of said lot, so far as will contain fifty acres, of which said premises I gave a warrantee deed to Wells Burbank, then of Sandbornton aforesaid, and took back a mortgage deed of two thirds of said land with the buildings thereon, from said Burbank—some time after the said Burbank sold said land to Ebenezer Clark, of Sandbornton aforesaid—about that time said Clark gave Thomas Thomson, Esq. of Newfalsbury, a mortgage deed of said land; both Clark and Thomson knowing that I had a mortgage deed of said land, and Clark agreed to take up Burbank's notes given, and give me his own notes; after the writings with said Burbank were made, he told me a number of times of his own accord, that he was going to do it, but has not yet done it, telling me that there were no witnesses to my deed—since that I have searched and find it to be so, although witnesses were carried on for that purpose, having other writings to execute, it was overlooked, but notwithstanding unless I have pay for my land, I shall hold it if I am able, and therefore do warn every person from buying under either of the above named persons, unless they mean to purchase a law suit.

Late Foreign News.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 24. The Ranger, Capt. Chamberlain, has just arrived from London. She brings London papers of the 13th October. Extracts follow:—
LONDON, OCT. 12.
YESTERDAY Paris papers to the 7th were received. In the flag of truce which brought them came Citizen Lauriston, aid-de-camp of Bonaparte, with the ratification of the Preliminaries on the part of the First Consul.
A London Gazette Extraordinary was immediately issued, announcing the exchange of Ratifications; the park and tower guns were fired; and the general exultation was unbounded. OCT. 11. Lord Hawkesbury this day sent the following note To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor.
Downing Street, Oct. 10, 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." Our Government being silent on the terms of this Treaty—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 Vendémiaire, 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 U. 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 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 to 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 English 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 2 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 particularly 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 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.
XV. The present preliminary articles shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at London, in the
space of fifteen days at furthest; 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 Vendémiaire, 10th Year of the French Republic—the 1st of October, 1801. (Signed) OTTO, HAWKESBURY.
BRISTOL, OCT. 5.
On Saturday immense crowds were assembled in the public street, and on the exchange, to welcome in the London Mail. On its arrival at Temple Gate, the populace took out the horses, and upwards of 100 persons, linking their hands together, drew the mail (which was richly decorated with flags and laurel,) amidst the acclamations of thousands, to the Bull Tavern.
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.
PEACE Between FRANCE & PORTUGAL.
THE following is a copy of the Treaty concluded between Citizen Lucien Bonaparte, on the part of France, and His Excellency Cypriano Bibeiro Freire, on the part of Portugal, ratified on the 29th of Sept. 1801.
I. THERE shall be from hence to th, peace, friendship and good understanding between the French republic and the kingdom of Portugal—All hostilities, both by land and sea, shall cease immediately after the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty; that is to say, within 15 days in Europe and the seas which bound it, and the coast of Africa on this side of the Equator; within 40 days in the territories and seas of America and Africa, on the other side of the Equator; and 3 months after in all the territories and seas to the westward of Cape Horn, and to the east of the Cape of Good Hope. All the prizes made after these respective periods, in the latitudes mentioned, shall be respectively restored. The prisoners on each side shall be restored, and the same political relations re-established between the two powers as existed before the war.
II. All the ports and roads of Portugal in Europe, shall be immediately shut, and continue to shut until the conclusion of peace between France and England, against all English vessels, both of war and trade; and the said ports and roads shall be open to all the vessels of war and trade belonging to the French republic and her allies. As to the ports and roads of Portugal in other parts of the world, the present article shall be obligatory within the periods above fixed for the cessation of hostilities.
III. Portugal engages not to furnish, during the course of the present war, to the enemies of the French republic and her allies, any succours in troops, vessels, arms, ammunition, provision, or money of any kind, or in any manner whatever. All anterior acts, engagements, or conventions, contrary to the present article, shall be revoked, and regarded as null and void.
IV. The boundaries of French and Portuguese Guyana shall be determined in future by the river Carapanatuba, which flows into the river Amazon, about a third of a degree of north latitude, above Fort Macapa. These limits shall follow the course of the river to its source, whence they shall take a direction to the grand chain of mountains which divide the course of the river; they shall follow the windings of that chain to the point nearest to Rio-Branco, between the second and third degree north of the Equator.
The Indians of the two Guyannas, who in the course of the war may have been carried off from their habitations, shall be respectively restored.
The citizens or subjects of the two powers, who may be comprised within the new determination of the limits, may reciprocally retire to the possession of their respective states. They shall likewise have power to dispose of their property, moveable and immovable, for a period of two years, to be computed from the day of exchanging the ratifications of the present treaty.
V. A treaty of commerce shall be negotiated between the two powers, to establish in a definitive manner the commercial relations between France and Portugal; in the mean time it is agreed upon—
First—That the communication shall be re-established immediately after the exchange of the ratifications, and that the agents and factors of commerce shall, on each side, be restored to the possession of the rights, immunities, and prerogatives which they enjoyed before the war.
Secondly—That the citizens and subjects of the two powers shall equally and reciprocally enjoy in the states of both, all the rights which those of the most favored nations enjoy.
Thirdly—That the commodities and merchandise produced from the soil or manufactures of each of the two powers, shall be admitted reciprocally, without restriction, and without being liable to any
duty which would not equally affect the commodities and merchandise of a similar nature imported by other nations.
Fourthly—That the French cloths may be immediately imported into Portugal, on the footing of the most favored merchandise.
Fifthly—That in other points all the stipulations inserted in the preceding articles, and not contrary to the present treaty, shall be provisionally executed until the conclusion of a treaty of definitive commerce.
From the London Gazette, October 13th. 1801.
BY THE KING. A PROCLAMATION Declaring the Cessation of Arms, as well by Sea as by Land, agreed upon between his Majesty and the French Republic, and enjoining the observation thereof.

WHEREAS preliminaries for restoring peace between us and the French Republic were signed at London on the first day of this instant, October, by the plenipotentiary of us, and by the plenipotentiary of the French Republic; and whereas, for the putting an end to the calamities of war as soon and as far as may be possible, it hath been agreed between us, and the French Republic as follows; that is to say, that as soon as the preliminaries shall be signed and ratified, friendship should be established between us and the French Republic, by sea and land, in all parts of the world, and that all hostilities should cease immediately, and in order to prevent all causes of complaint and dispute which might arise on account of prizes which might be made at sea after the signature of the preliminary articles, it has been also reciprocally agreed, that the vessels and effects which might be taken in the British channel and in the North Seas, after the space of 12 days, to be computed from the exchange of the ratifications of the preliminary articles, should be restored on each side; that the term shall be one month from the British channel and the North Sea as far as the Canary Islands including, whether in the Ocean or in the Mediterranean; two months from the said Canary Islands as far as the Equator; and lastly, five months in all other parts of the world, without any exception, or any more particular description of time or place: And whereas the ratification of the said preliminary articles between us and the French Republic were exchanged by the respective plenipotentiaries of us, and of the French Republic, on the 10th day of this instant October, from which day the several terms above mentioned of twelve days, of one month, of two months and of five months, are to be computed: And whereas it is our royal will and pleasure that the cessation of hostilities between us and the French Republic should be agreeable to the several epochs fixed between us and the French Republic, we have thought fit, by and with the advice of our privy council, to notify the same to all our loving subjects; and we declare that our royal will and pleasure is, and we do hereby strictly charge and command all our officers both at sea and land, and all other our subjects whatsoever, to forbear all acts of hostility, either by sea or land, against the French republic and their allies, their vassals or subjects, from and after the respective times above mentioned, and under the penalty of incurring our highest displeasure.

Domestic News.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.
The Baltimore Bellona Powder-mill, on Jones's-Falls, about 7 miles from town, belonging to a company of gentlemen of this city, blew up the night before last, by which accident three men who were working in the mill were shockingly crippled, the life of one of whom is despaired of.
The catastrophe happened about 9 o'clock at night; and, as near as we can learn, was caused by one of the workmen taking the burning snuff of a lamp wick in his fingers, and finding it rather hot, threw it hastily and inadvertently into a heap of 300 weight of powder, then undergoing its operation in the mill. The explosion was instantaneous: The house, 30 by 40 feet, with every atom in it, was mounted in the air. Of the roof, not a vestige could be found; and the walls which were of masonry stone, are levelled
with the ground. The man who was least injured, says, the first place he found himself in, after the return of his senses, was the mill-race, without knowing for a while, what could have placed him there.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.
What an awful lesson does the termination of the dreadful conflict in Europe, exhibit to the nations of the earth! It had its origin in the diabolical caverns of the illuminati, with whom it was a dogma—that "the end justifies the means." They exercised "their holy right of insurrection" to recover "Liberty and the long lost rights of man." The savage rulers of France proclaimed "Peace to the cottages of the poor—War to the mansions of the rich"—With these instructions their ferocious and unrelenting hordes have caused more misery, and have displayed more desperate wickedness, than any of the wars which have, in modern times, disgraced and afflicted man. And what have the people of France gained by the dire convulsion? They have become illuminated—they have enlarged their territory—and have exchanged the word Kingdom for that of Republic. But does their illumination make them more happy? Will the acquisition of territory add to the wealth of the deluded individuals? Is their Republic less despotic than the government of Louis the sixteenth? Is its administration more humane? Does it afford greater security to the lives, to the liberties, and to the property of the inhabitants? In short—Are the advantages of such a nature as to atone for the blood and treasure which they have so wantonly sacrificed?
NEW-YORK, Nov. 29.
Yesterday morning, died, Mr. Philip Hamilton, eldest son of General Hamilton, in the 20th year of his age, of a wound received in a duel with Capt. George I. Eacker. Few events have so much interested the public, whether they consider the youth and promising talents of the deceased, the feeling of most affectionate parents, or the false honor to which his life was sacrificed.
The duel was occasioned by some frolicsome and satirical expressions made by Mr. Hamilton and a young Mr. Price, at the Theatre, on the Friday preceding, about an Oration of Mr. Eacker's, and in his hearing. This conduct Mr. Eacker resented in a very intemperate manner, collared Mr. Hamilton, called them damned rascals and villains, and said if he did not hear from them, he would treat them as such. Challenges were consequently sent to him by both.
Mr. Eacker and Mr. Price met on Sunday following, and after exchanging four shots, without injury to either, the seconds interfered. On Monday the fatal duel between Mr. Eacker and Mr. Hamilton took place. Young Hamilton was shot through the body, on the first discharge, and fell without firing. He languished until the next morning, and then expired.
He was a young man of a natural amiable disposition, of a strong and cultivated mind. In August last, he took his first degree in Columbia College, and at the Commencement delivered an Oration remarkable for its correctness of sentiment, elegance of diction, and with that fullness of elocution and propriety of gesture, that all hoped to see in him another Hamilton. Let it be added, as the highest praise, that in his dying moments, he professed his belief of the Christian Religion, and relied for pardon and mercy on the Saviour Jesus Christ.
As to the part which Mr. Eacker has acted; whether he was not too hasty in resenting the levities of youth; whether he might not, after the first duel, even on the principles of the world, avoided the second, there is little disposition to discuss. Conscience is a just monitor, and that is a tribunal to which all are amenable. The custom of fighting duels should receive the highest reprobation; as being not only directly opposed to that meekness and forbearance which Christianity enjoins; but contrary to the dictates of humanity, and destructive of peace, order and happiness among mankind.
The Free Masons of the State of Maryland have petitioned the legislature for an act of incorporation. The petition is committed. A bill is before the same legislature for incorporating the female humane society of Baltimore. Strange things occur in our hemisphere; females are incorporated for humane purposes in one state, and admitted to the rights of suffrage in another. We hope they will abuse their privileges less than the men.

As soon as the news of Peace was received on the French coast opposite Jersey, several boats loaded with different articles of provisions proceeded to that island. The small Normandy sheep they sold alive for half a guinea each, turkeys sixteen pence each, and butter sixpence a pound!!! As the islands will now be supplied from the French coast, a considerable reduction in the price of provision, must consequently take place in the southern and western parts of England, from whence they have been wholly supplied.—The price of butter will be considerably reduced, owing to the large quantity already shipped in Holland to London, at prices greatly inferior to what it has lately been in this country.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 27.
We learn by a gentleman from Cape-Francois, that the news of a peace in Europe had not arrived at that place, when he left on the 17th inst. He gives it as his opinion that there will be no difficulty in amicably arranging matters between Toussaint and Gen. Bonaparte.
The principal scenes of the revolt were in the different villages in the plain, all within 30 miles of the Cape, in which it is supposed from 300 to 500 whites were massacred. Had it extended to the Cape, the loss to many American merchants would have been incalculable, as an immense property belonging to them, then in town, must have fallen a sacrifice.
BOSTON, December 1.
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, and 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 Armes, 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 brought 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 off. 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 Moyse, who is at Fort Liberty, to march with his troops to form a junction with Christophe. 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 goal. 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 Flavill, 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. Christophe with his own hand cut off the heads of two men, and left
them, among heaps of dead in the public square."
"October 30, 1801.
"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 have 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 Defalines are now in the vicinity, the latter with a powerful army. The fears of the people are by no means subsided."
Capt. Simonds informs us, that when he sailed, 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.
Dec. 5.
By the "Journal du Commerce" of the 9th October, we learn, that on the preceding day, Mr. PINCENNEY, Minister of the United States to Spain, was presented to the First Consul, at the audience of Ambassadors, being introduced by Citizen TALLEYRAND, Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Latest from ENGLAND.
Capt. Freeman has arrived at Newburyport, in a short passage from England; but he does not bring any late papers. He informs, we learn, that previous to his leaving England, (October 23d) the French prisoners had been liberated in England.—If so, the Definitive Treaty of Peace, it is probable, had been signed.
After perusal of the late French and English papers, it is difficult to determine which people appear most extravagant at the Peace. Both are extravagant in their joy, and in the anticipation of the blessings which are to accompany renewed friendship and commerce.
In the Paris papers, before the peace, Great-Britain was always mentioned as England, since the promulgation of the preliminaries she is frequently spoken of as Grande-Bretagne.
The ports of Jeremie, Leogane, St. Mark, the Mole, Port-de-Paix, Montechristi, Port Plate, Santa Domingo, and d'Azua, are declared by the Governor of St. Domingo, to be open to all French vessels, allies, and neutrals. This information would be important to the Commerce of the United States were there any stability in the laws of that devoted colony; but to the want of confidence in its mercantile transactions, is now superadded the incalculable and extensive mischiefs that must be the inevitable consequence of its present insurrections.
VENTRILOQUIST.
We understand, that the celebrated European Ventriloquist, arrived here on Thursday last from Scotland, in the brig Julian. The singular powers of persons thus organized, has been a theme of conversation for a long time among the learned and the inquisitive. He possesses, by nature, the ability of making any object appear to speak, and of producing answers from the closets, &c. of a room. We hear of but two Ventriloquists, since the woman of Endor, who is described as having a familiar spirit. [Palladium.]
From HALIFAX—Nov. 20.
Extract of a letter to the Editors. "Yesterday, the British Packet, Duke of Kent, arrived here in 30 days from Falmouth. She brought an official copy of the Preliminary Articles of Peace between Great Britain and France, as ratified by the two powers. The Governor caused it to be instantly published, with a Proclamation for "Magistrates and all others, his Majesty's subjects, to govern themselves accordingly." I herewith send you a proof sheet of this treaty, wet from the press.—The London Papers by the Packet are to Oct. 17, but contain little except about the peace. London was illuminated three successive nights. The treaty appeared to have given satisfaction, except to a few discontented individuals, among whom is PETER PORCUPINE, whose house was nearly torn to pieces because he refused to illuminate it. Another Packet, with duplicate dispatches, is daily expected. Two Packets are now in the harbour. One of them is to sail immediately for New-York. The other, I am told, for Virginia, with dispatches."
PROCLAMATION.
By His Excellency Sir John Wentworth, Bart. L. L. D. Lieutenant-Governor and Commander in Chief, in and over His Majesty's Province of Nova Scotia, and its Dependencies, &c. &c. &c. WHEREAS I have this day received by
His Majesty's Packet-Boat, Duke of Kent, two letters from Lord Hobart, one of His Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, enclosing Preliminary Articles of Peace, signed on the 1st, and ratified on the 10th of October last, between Great Britain and France, in consequence of which a Cessation of Hostilities has taken place between all the powers at War:
I have therefore thought fit, By and with the advice of His Majesty's Council, immediately to notify this joyful event in the most public manner, and to request all magistrates and others, his Majesty's Subjects, to take notice thereof and govern themselves accordingly.
Given under my hand and Seal at Arms, at the Council Chamber in Halifax, this Nineteenth Day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and one, and in the forty second year of His Majesty's Reign.

A late New-Jersey paper gives an account of a Radish raised the last season, which weighed 20lbs. and measures three feet in circumference, and six feet long!—It should seem, if the writer of this article is a candidate for the presidency of a lying-club, he cannot fail of succeeding.
The grain, &c. imported into England, the present year, has cost the purchasers 15,000,000. sterling; of which 2,300,000. have been paid in bounties by the government.
The produce exported from Norfolk district, in Virginia, in three months ending with September last, amounted in value to 1,147,873 dolls. principally American produce. But what, pray, will be the amount in three months, when Europe is at peace?
PORTSMOUTH, DECEMBER 8.
It has been so repeatedly and confidently asserted that the Spanish possessions on the Mississippi are ceded to France, that we are compelled to attach some credit to the report.—
Should the information prove correct, it is proper to consider what effects will follow. It is certain that the restless disposition of the French, will render them less peaceable neighbors than the Spaniards. Should the French government send to that country a great number of men who have been engaged in their armies, their military character will render them formidable, in case of any dispute, respecting territory or trade. In case of a war, or even in peace, they might propagate principles among the blacks, which would endanger the safety of their masters.
But even admitting that the French should take possession and live quietly, their active enterprising genius would ultimately raise a formidable rival commerce. It is well known that the lands along the Mississippi produce, in vast abundance, most of the staple exports of the northern States; and from the vicinity of the mouth of that river to the Leward islands, the inhabitants will be able with ease, to supply them with flour, pork, beef, lumber and many other articles, at a less price than the Northern States.—If the French possess the mouth of that river, or some principal port, they may be able to supply their possessions in the West-Indies, and occasion a prohibition of the same articles from the United States.
It is by no means probable that the French can be united under the same government, with the United States, or with the people of the country above the Ohio. In case of a rupture then between the United States and the French settlements, the latter must be conquered or they will have the whole commerce of that river, in their power—they may obstruct the navigation or seize the shipping—it is of immense consequence to the United States, that such settlements should be prevented. Supported by France, the people might be extremely troublesome and even formidable. The navigation of that vast river, must be free, or endless wars will ensue—it is therefore very interesting that the whole of the territory on that river and its tributary streams, should be under a single government.

REVIVAL OF RELIGION.
Extract of a letter, dated Iredell County, Northcarolina August 11, 1801.
"The revival of religion in Cumberland, has extended over a vast tract of country, and is still increasing. How pleasing to the Christian, to hear of the thousands of souls which are added to the Redeemer's kingdom in that country. Mr. Hall, who went missionary to the Natchez, has returned and gives a pleasing account of the prospects of religion in that lately savage country, a number of churches are formed there by him; about forty were added to the church at one communion and there is every prospect that the Gospel will flourish there in a few years. "O may all the nations of the earth know and serve the Lord."

MR. MELCHER,
In your Gazette of December 1, 1801, you published an advertisement of mine, in which the character of Thomas Thompson, Esq. of Salisbury, may be thought by some to be implicated. In justice to him I now state that I had no right to insinuate anything to his disadvantage; for I now find that he received a mortgage deed of Wells Burbank instead of Ebenezer Clark, and before the defect in my deed was discovered, and that the said Thompson never has at any time intimated any intention to defeat my deed, but on the contrary always has been willing that I should hold the land according to the meaning of my deed from Wells Burbank.
