LONDON, OCT. 24.
Bonaparte appears to have acted towards Toussaint Louverture precisely in the same manner that the Grand Seigneur does towards a rebellious Pacha whom he cannot subdue. He advances him a step higher, by giving him another tail, confirms him in his authority, passes an act of oblivion on what is past; and thus ends the whole affair.
NOV. 3.
A letter speaks of a new Coalition, at the head of which is to be the Emperor Paul. "This Coalition (it states) abandoning every other political object, will only have in view to give a check to the supposed ambition of Great-Britain as a Maritime Power, and the too great extension of France as a Continental Power."
PARIS, OCT. 28.
The armistice concluded on the 18th of August with the Regency of Algiers, by Citizen Dubois Thainville, has been followed by a Definitive Treaty of Peace.
The Dey of Tripoli has declared war against the Emperor, and taken three ships under his flag.
BEIRUTA, NOV. 22.
It may be seen clearly that a certain set of American merchants are continually assisting their good Allies, the French, &c. with all kinds of warlike stores, particularly gunpowder. One vessel from Baltimore, called the Peggy, was just going into Curacao, laden with gunpowder, when the war-captured the vessel, and the gunpowder, which was marked "Indian meal." About 400 kegs were in this chooner, and she is now under adjudication.
CHARLESTON, DEC. 2.
The following articles respecting the unhappy situation of Cadiz, were handed us by Capt. Stutson, of ship Polly from thence.
The greater part of the merchants had left the city, and the governor had stopped all communication with the adjacent ports, it being generally supposed that the fever-raged war in them than in the city, at which place ten thousand died in the course of ten weeks. I have frequently met in the streets three or four carts loaded with dead bodies, piled up so as to require two horses to draw them from the King's hospital; and have seen in the yard of the Cathedral, (where the bodies from the different houses were deposited every day, to be carried out of the gates in the night) from one hundred to one hundred and fifty. This I was spectator of for fifteen days. I left Cadiz at sun down, on the 11th October, at 10 at night was brought to us by the squadron off there and detained two days, after which it was dismissed with the following paper:
COPY.
These are to certify, that I have this day released the American ship Polly, Levi Stutson, master, after detaining her 2 days, although she is liable to confiscation, for having entered the port of Cadiz, after being duly informed of the blockade, by the Dragon, one of his Majesty's ships employed upon that service; nevertheless, as the present state of Cadiz subjects all vessels coming from thence to a long quarantine, and the Polly could not have communication with the shore at Gibraltar, in less than 42 days; I have, therefore, from motives of humanity to the master and crew, consented to allow her to proceed on her voyage; but I expect that Mr. Stutson will take care to make public the reasons which have induced me to this act of amity, & warn his fellow citizens, that vessels under the same circumstances are in future not to expect the same indulgence.
Given under my hand, on board his Majesty's ship the Swiftsure, at sea, the 3d day of October, 1800.
R. BICKERTON, Rear-Admiral.
Situation of Cadiz, on the 4th Sept. from the account of the Governor's Secretary.
Population--73,000. Convalescent 25,000 Died, up to the 4th September, 7,000 Sick, 8,000 Left Cadiz for adjacent towns, 33,000
Total, 73,000 Out of every six hundred deaths, according to the calculations, there were no more than twenty six females.
The convent in which the Franciscan Friars resided contained one hundred and fifty, out of which one hundred died. The other convents suffered greatly likewise.
BALTIMORE, DEC. 18.
A letter from Capt. Shaw, of the United States Schooner Enterprise, of 12 guns, to a friend in Baltimore, dated Philadelphia, December 12, after mentioning the return of health, which had suffered from a West-India climate, says, "I am happy to inform you of my good successes in the West Indies, I have in my last cruise taken 13 sail of vessels, made 300 French prisoners, killed and wounded 61 men, taken 42 pieces of artillery and 180 stand of musketry---which is really more than I could have contemplated."
PHILADELPHIA, DEC. 18.
Extract of a letter from Washington, Dec. 14. "Gov. Davie arrived here yesterday with the treaty and it is probable it will be laid before the Senate to-morrow. Gov. Davie is accompanied by Mr. Swift, the Secretary of Legation, and a young gentleman, I believe the son of Judge Ellsworth, who is gone to London, to communicate with Mr. King, our Minister there; after which he intends to return to the south of France, for the benefit of his health. Mr. Murray has returned to the Hague."
DEC. 20.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the U. S. Frigate George Washington, Capt. Bainbridge, dated at Algiers, Oct. 14, 1800. "I am sorry to inform you, that we are to set sail from hence to-morrow, for Constantinople, which will of course detain us from our country at least nine months. We are going to carry presents from the Dey of Algiers to the Grand Seigneur. We are to take with us 20 gentlemen, 100 negro Turks, 20 Turkish women, two lions, 2 tigers, 4 horses, 200 sheep, besides jewels and money. The Dey insisted on our going, and we had only to choose between compliance and flag-
very. They have hoisted the red flag to our main top-gallant mast head."
It is further understood, that Capt. O'Brien had to enter into a security on the part of the United States, of 300,000 dollars, for the safe delivery at Constantinople, of the cargo of the George Washington.
On Saturday, Nov. 27, in the Legislature of Maryland, it was determined, that the Constitution of the United States did not prohibit an individual state from passing bankrupt laws, or granting relief to insolvent debtors. The pleadings of Counsel on this important question, occupied two days.
Since Thursday last the Eight per Cent Stock of the United States has experienced a fall of 5 3/4 per cent. in consequence of the Election of Mr. Jefferson.
NEW-YORK, DEC. 23.
Capt. Barclay arrived here yesterday from St. Sebastian, informs, that all intercourse between France and Spain is stopped, in consequence of the plague which rages in all parts of the latter kingdom. ALL American vessels are obliged to perform quarantine; and what is very singular, they attribute the introduction of their calamity to vessels from this country.
HARTFORD, DEC. 22.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Washington, to his friend in this City, dated December 13.
"I have the unpleasant task of giving you the news as to the result of the S. Carolina election. Mr. Rutledge has just received a letter from respectable authority, stating the result of the choice of electors and their names. The Jefferson and Burr ticket has completely succeeded. General Pinckney could have divided the votes with Jefferson, but firmly and magnanimously refused all compromise to the exclusion or injury of Mr. Adams. Gen. Marshall has communicated the result of the election to the President. The President speaks in the highest terms of the fair and honorable conduct of Gen. Pinckney, and of the federal party on this occasion. A new order of things may therefore be considered as about to commence."
BOSTON, DEC. 24.
Great National Election.
VOTES for PRESIDENT. The whole number 138. 70 making a choice.
   Ad. & P. Jeff. & Burr     New-Hampshire, 6 0   Massachusetts, 16 0   Connecticut, 9 0   R. Island, (2 lost) 4 0   New-York, 0 12   New-Jersey, 7 0   Delaware, 3 0   Pennsylvania, 7 8   Maryland, 5 5   Virginia, 0 21   Vermont, 4 0   North-Carolina, 4 8   South-Carolina, 0 8   Georgia, 0 4   Probable, 65 63   Kentucky, 0 4   Tennessee, 0 3   65 63   73 73  
A Plain Case stated.
IT is asserted, and generally conceded, that Messrs. JEFFERSON and BURR will each have a majority of votes for President of the United States, and each an equal number of votes. Should this prove to be the fact, the citizens of the United States will yet have another chance to elect a Federal President. This fact we thus prove.
The Constitution of the United States, provides,
"If there be more than one person who have a majority of the whole votes, and have an equal number of votes, then the House shall immediately choose by ballot one of them for President: But in this choice, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each State having ONE vote; and a MAJORITY of ALL THE STATES SHALL BE NECESSARY TO A CHOICE."
Thus far the Constitution; by which the candidate who is to succeed to the Presidency, MUST HAVE THE VOTES OF NINE STATES at least. The Candidates being Messrs. JEFFERSON and BURR---Which States will vote for Mr. J. and which for Mr. BURR? They both stand equally well recommended by the votes of the Electors; and their friends will not deem it a dereliction from patriotism, to vote for either. It is highly probable, the votes of the States will thus be given:---
   For Jefferson. For Burr.     New-York, Massachusetts,   Pennsylvania, New-Hampshire,   Virginia, Connecticut,   North-Carolina, Rhode-Island,   Georgia, New-Jersey,   Kentucky, Delaware,   Tennessee, Maryland,   Vermont, (div.) South-Carolina,   7 8  
Thus neither Mr. Jefferson nor Burr being able to obtain the Constitutional majority of votes, neither of them can be President until after another choice of Electors is made by the people.
The periods for which Messrs. Adams and Jefferson were elected, expire with the 3d day of March next. If then no choice of President and Vice-President is made by the Electors nor by the House of Representatives, then both those offices become vacant on the 4th day of March next. In this case, it may be asked, what is to be done? The answer is easy. The law of Congress, of the 1st March, 1792, entitled, "An act relative to the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States, and declaring the officer who shall act as President in case of vacancies in the offices of President and Vice-President," provides, "Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That whenever the offices of President, and Vice-President shall both become vacant, the Secretary of State shall forthwith cause
a notification thereof to be made to the Executive of every State, and shall also cause the same to be published in at least one of the newspapers printed in each State, specifying that Electors of the President of the United States shall be appointed, or chosen, in the several States, within thirty-four days preceding the first Wednesday in December next ensuing;" and then the proceedings are to be as in the ordinary elections.
But that the government should not be without an Executive Head, the above law also provides, That in case of the two vacancies above-mentioned, THE PRESIDENT pro tempore of the Senate, shall act as President of the United States, until another is chosen; and in case of his death or disability The Speaker of the House of Representatives is thus to act.
We do not say, the House of Representatives will exercise this right; but we venture to say if there were nine States in Congress, whose representations were ant federal; and Messrs. Adams and Pinckney were the candidates for the chair; that those nine States would prevent either of them from filling it, until after another trial; and that every ant federal paper in the United States would be loud in vindication and praise of the measure.
Should the votes in Congress, as is to be expected, be eight for Mr. Jefferson, and eight for Mr. Burr---after the manner in which they have been voted for by all the ant federal Electors; it will be in the power of either of the democratic States to choose a President, by voting for Mr. Burr; and, of course, it will be their fault if the President pro tempore of the Senate fills that office the ensuing year. Why may not this be the case? One of the ablest of the Jacobin writers has said, "endowed with a mind vast, liberal and comprehensive, America owns not a Citizen more fitted than Col. BURR to be placed at the head of her government."
There are above 500,000 negro slaves in the United States, who have no more voice in the Election of President and Vice-President of the United States, than 500,000 New-England horses, hogs and oxen. Yet those 500,000 slaves (at least their masters for them) choose 15 Electors of President of the United States. Whereas the owners of the 500,000 New-England horses, hogs, and oxen, have not a single vote more in consequence of holding this property.
The whole number of slaves in the United States, in 1791, was 697,697---of which not 25,000 belong to the 7 States which have voted unanimously for Adams and Pinckney.
DEC. 29.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The Brutus, Capt. Bunker, arrived at New York, from London, has brought papers to Nov. 17. These are unquestionably of the latest date of any received on the continent. The following abstract, copied from the paper which announces her arrival, contains all the Intelligence which had then transpired from her:
"The Congress at Luneville has adjourned without effecting the object of its meeting. The King's speech is considered as favouring the continuance of the war; and his parliament have echoed the sentiment. The scarcity of Grain continues, with no prospect of a speedy relief. The guarantee on Flour has been fixed at 70s a barrel."
The Treaty lately negotiated between this country and France, was carried to the Senate of the United States, on Monday, the 15th inst. but did not arrive till that body was adjourned. At the date of our last Congressional proceedings [the 16th] it had not been acted on by the Senate, therefore the report of its having been ratified by the Senate, must have been premature.
(Com. Adv.)
If the expected change of administration should take place, all our evils political and moral are to be done away at once. We shall have no more taxes---no ministers abroad---salaries are to be reduced one half---the friends of the new administration will serve the public for a long or with a long---sedition and alien laws will be annulled---the debt will be extinguished or spunged, the navy will be annihilated---we shall have no more party spirit---the lamb will lie down with the lion---every hungry office seeker will be gratified---brambles will call their thorns and bear apples of gold---the clouds will pour down fat turkeys and canvas back ducks---and our land shall overflow with liberty and the rights of man!
A letter from Washington, says, "Mr. Wolcott has resigned his office of Secretary of the Treasury. He goes out of office a new-years-day. He leaves our Finances in excellent order. There is now a balance in the treasury of 3,000,000 of dollars in specie. This is a most excellent officer, and he carries with him the regard of every man of virtue in our country, who know his character."
Judge Ellsworth's arrival is thus noticed in a London paper of the 30th October:---His Excellency Oliver Ellsworth, the Chief Justice of the United States, one of the late Envoys to Paris, arrived in London yesterday morning, from France. The success of these Negotiators with the French Republic, and the spirit of amity which seems to actuate them, we hope, may render the presence of this gentleman instrumental also to the adjustment of the existing differences between this country and America. Mr. Ellsworth's talents are of the first order, and his popularity in America renders it highly probable that he will one day succeed to the President's Chair.
Kotzebue has, it is said, been recalled from Siberia; and in such haste was he to return, that he travelled 460 German miles, or 928 French leagues in 19 days. He found his wife and family at Petersburg, whom the emperor had sent for from Revel to meet him.
SALEM, Dec. 23.
The debates in Congress, on the creation of a Mausoleum to the memory of GEO. WASHINGTON, will convey to the world a most disgraceful idea of Americans. Better would it have been, had the resolution never been proposed than to see an American Congress contending for days
about the expense of raising a Mausoleum to the first and best of Men, the great and good WASHINGTON. In one day five hundred thousand dollars could be raised for the purpose by a subscription among the Federal Republicans; let us hear no more of the expense. (G. U. S.)
Above 200 cords of wood, chiefly board logs, drifted ashore upon Lynn Beach on Saturday night last, supposed to have been carried out of the river at the ebb-tide in a late freshet.
Within a few days a number of boxes of candles have drifted ashore at Nahan.
It is in contemplation to make a turnpike road from this town to Bolton, in such a direction as to lessen the distance to twelve miles.
Riches of the Sea.
The schr. Two Sisters, David Fornis, jun. master, lately arrived at Beverly from the Grand Bank, with a fare of 500 quintals of fish. This vessel has performed three fishing voyages this season, in the short space of six months and an half, and landed, at least, 1700 quintals; a very rare instance of industry and success.
Important Political Letter.
From Washington, Dec. 11, 1800.
SUBJOINED is a list of the Electors actually chosen in South Carolina, all of whom will vote for Messrs. Jefferson and Burr. The candidate on the federal list who had the highest number of votes was Gen. Washington, the relation and fellow soldier of our late illustrious Chief, and one of the deliverers of South Carolina. He had sixty nine votes---it will follow of course that the Legislature will choose a democratic Senator and probably the Governor will be of the same politics. Thus is this important question, and thus perhaps is the fate of our Government decided. It is unnecessary to communicate all those reflections which crowd upon the mind of every friend to our federal Government. The influence of New-England in the Councils of the Union will now be lost, at least for a period, is sufficiently apparent. Whether anarchy, convulsions, a prostration of national credit, a reversal of all those measures which have given us dignity among nations; want of confidence at home; contempt abroad, a foreign war and a civil war will be consequent upon this change, depend entirely upon the force of the impulse which some of the partisans of the new administration may communicate to its measures. It is, however, our duty not to despond, but patiently wait the event of things. Should the new administration adhere to the principles which have made us prosperous and happy, they will become federalists in fact and the change will only exhibit a new instance of the versatility and ingratitude of a people towards old friends and faithful servants, without any other consequence. Good men may secretly repine that Adams, Jay, Ellsworth, Pinckney, and other Patriots of the revolution, are forced into retirement. Still if principles are preserved and the interest of the nation promoted we must like good citizens support the constituted authorities. But we can hardly flatter ourselves with these agreeable results; we can not expect that where all the measures of government have been the theme of invective, opposition will have the magnanimity to change its tone and pursue the same course. Expectations have been raised which must be gratified, promises have been made which must be fulfilled. To refrain from innovation, will be to approve of the present administration and to condemn the violence of its adversaries. There is one consolation, to which the friends of Messrs. Adams and Pinckney are entitled---The honor with which they observed their compact. To my certain knowledge it was in the power of Gen. Pinckney's friends to have compromised with Mr. Jefferson's friends, and to have had an equal vote with him. It was with great reluctance he was given up, but he and his friends rejected this compromise with the utmost disdain. It is also equally certain, that Mr. Adams declared, while the event of the election was still doubtful, that if Mr. Pinckney succeeded, he should receive his zealous and cordial support, and that all federal support, and that all federal men were bound to concur in maintaining his administration.
"This mutual experience of honor and fidelity cannot fail to produce the happiest effects on future occasions. This league of talents and virtue, founded in patriotism and preserved with good faith, will be a resource in tempestuous seasons, that will yet preserve our country---Mr. Jefferson will succeed to the Presidency under favorable circumstances, which, though attributable entirely to the existing government, will, by the undistinguishing voice of those who examine nothing but decide every thing, be ascribed to him and his adherents. The surplus of revenue for the present year will be two millions of dollars, the whole of which may not be exhibited until after his accession. The land tax has become unnecessary, he will have the credit of its abolition. Commercial advantages will result from a renewed intercourse with France; he will claim the merit of it. To all this we must patiently submit, and we will cheerfully submit, if these advantages are preserved by wise measures.
*The list has already been published.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, DEC. 15.
THE House went into a committee on the bill for the relief of Tho's Hooper, who prayed a drawback on some re-shipp'd merchandise. The bill was agreed to and ordered to be engrossed.
Mr. Cooper laid on the table a resolution for a committee to be appointed to consider the expediency of repealing the Law having a direct tax, &c. within the United States. He stated his reasons to be the difficulty and uncertainty of collection, and the want of necessity for the law, or use of its provisions for any future occasion. Adjourned.
PORTSMOUTH, Dec. 30.
IMPORTANT.
A paper called the TIMES, printed at Alexandria, in Virginia, on the 15th inst. contains the following important article:
"We are informed by authority, upon which we can rely, that Mr. Sigleaves has at length negotiated an adjustment of our differences with Great Britain, which have arisen in consequence of the 6th article of our treaty of amity, commerce and navigation with that power. Government, we believe, has not yet received an official copy of this instrument, and our knowledge of it is not sufficiently extensive to state exactly many of the leading features, or the nature of the claims which are barred by it in future; but we can venture to assert, that, as the basis upon which the future friendship of the two nations is to be founded, it is stipulated, that a specified sum of money shall be paid by the government of the U. States to that of Great-Britain, and in consequence that certain claims, of a particular nature, shall not be again adduced. The commissioners will then resume the exercise of their functions."
By the report of the commissioners of the fund for navy pensions and half-pay, it appears that upwards of 30,000 dollars have been received as the proportion of the prize-money allotted to that purpose, of the captured property already sold.
Two negro-slaves have been convicted at Charleston, S. C. of murder, and sentenced to be burnt alive.
The Legislature of Virginia have re-elected James Monroe, Esq. Governor of that Commonwealth, by a large majority.
There can remain no doubt on the subject of the Presidential Election, but that Messrs. Jefferson and Burr are chosen---the only question of importance that now remains is, whether they have received an equal number of votes. On this point, we can satisfy our readers no farther, than the following article shall be thought to authorize.
Baltimore, Dec. 15.
On Friday last Mr. Jefferson received at the city of Washington, a letter from C. C. Pinckney, Esq. informing him, that the electors of the state of South Carolina had given eight votes for Thomas Jefferson, and seven for Aaron Burr. [American.]
