CHARACTER Of the celebrated Black General, TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE.
[From a Miscellaneous Publication.]
TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE, Is a native of St. Domingo. He was born a slave. His master, a planter, took him, while very young, to France, where he remained for some time; and attention was paid to his education. But still he was only a negro slave, and returned to St. Domingo, where he lived in that character several years. Soon after the French revolution, every one knows how the misrepresentation of the principles of liberty and equality desolated St. Domingo. The whites were destroyed, and after them the people of colour; the blacks remaining in fact masters of the island. In the dreadful scenes that occurred, Toussaint soon distinguished himself, and acquired a sovereign sway over his fellow negroes, amounting now to 100,000 men in arms, inured to the climate, and educated to war.
Toussaint, to the talents of a general and a politician, adds those more amiable qualities of gratitude and humanity. His master fled to the United States of America; and Toussaint remitted him as much of the produce of his estate as was possible. When General Maitland evacuated Port-au-Prince the treaty for that purpose was negotiated and concluded with Toussaint, who executed every condition with the strictest fidelity. But all Toussaint did was in the name of the French Republic. For, while he is absolute monarch over St. Domingo, he affects to be a subject of France.
When General Maitland evacuated Port-au-Prince, all the old French planters, who had joined the British, departed with him of course. In the harbour was the old master of Toussaint, who had come to endeavour to retrieve his property, in which he had been unsuccessful; and he was about to fly with the English, in rags and wretchedness. General Maitland had too much wisdom to treat Toussaint as a brigand (robber) as he had hitherto been treated; and Toussaint's conduct repaid him for his civility.
Toussaint, hearing of his master, sent a message to General Maitland, saying he had a favor to ask. What was it? To send his master to him. The General did so; and Toussaint restored his estates, and gave him negroes for their cultivation. He behaved in the most affectionate and kind manner to him, who had truly been his father.
General Maitland, upon this, sent a message, asking a favor of Toussaint. What is it? To restore a dozen of the principal planters to their estates. Toussaint desired they might be sent to his care. They were so. He clapped them in prison.
Some days afterwards he had them brought in to a church, before a large body of his blacks; and he mounted the pulpit to preach a sermon; for his prowess at arms is but a small part of his distinction. Here he enforced the virtue of forgiveness to the repentant, saying, "We were for a while Spaniards, (the blacks fled to the Spanish protection, in the beginning of their troubles) but we were misled. We were born Frenchmen, and now we are Frenchmen again. These men have also been misled. They were born Frenchmen. For a time they have been British; but now they have returned, and are Frenchmen again. Let us embrace." Here Toussaint embraced them, and reconciled his followers. He restored them to their estates, and gave them negroes as servants.
It would be the disposition of a little mind, in Toussaint's situation, to hate and persecute the whites; but he knows well, that the island cannot flourish without them; that they are necessary to cultivation and good government, to the commerce and prosperity of the place. Therefore his chief aim is to restore the planters, and revive the trade. He fears that France will one day endeavour to punish him as a rebel; but this, France will never be able to accomplish. He doubts, the French Commissioner, is
a fool and a person of no influence: Toussaint disregards him; but all Toussaint's acts are in the name of the French Republic, for which alone he pretends to act; and his utmost wish is, that the Directory would name him their General.
From the BALANCE, a paper printed at Hudson, New-York.
(The following we publish verbatim, as it was brought to the office.)
To the printers of the Newspaper that they call the Balance.
GOOD SIRS,
PEOPLE tells us that you are willing to print any thing that will do good, and so I send you this letter that you may print it. Now the thing is this: my husband and I are not so rich but what we must work for our living or do worse.—And he had the name of a mighty notable man, till about two years ago it came into his head that he would be a politician and so he left off work, and would not take care of his family, because he must take care of the nation.
When I scolded and told him the children were barefoot, and that there was no meal in the barrel nor meat in the tub, he would go right to talking about the poor condition of the nation, as how that the whole nation would be undone and have to take the benefit of the act, except he and other wise men sees to the setting of thing right. Now I says to him, says I, let every husband take care of his own family, and then the nation would be took care of: and ant that right now?
Sometimes when they have been meeting together to chuse great officers, he tells me as how the great men looks sweet upon him, and are as loving to him for all the world as tho' he was one of their equals: and he would be so lifted up about it, that he would not do no work for a whole fortnight together.
I remember as how last winter the poor man seemed to be in a terrible taking. He did not work, and would hardly eat; and as for sleep, he had only cat naps, as it were. I have seed him at that time, start in his sleep and double up his fists, and speak out Adams and Jefferson, and some other names, that I dont now properly remember. And he stared so wild and acted so proper strange, that I was afeard that he would run quite out of his head. But in little time he begun to mend. The same fit seized his poor head, last spring, wween they wher chusing great men in our State: howsome, it went off by degrees, and I seed only the spices of it now and then: but very lately he has grown more compompos than ever.
There was so much flutter tother day, about independence and firing guns and healths, that he will never be the better for it, I am fear'd as long as he lives.—He has lately a strange cast with his eye, and talks wild, and says as how that he is a sovereign; and he says that Presidents and Governors, and all such great folks are no better than servants; and he says that servants must always be watch'd and scolded and cuff'd, or else they will grow saucy to their masters. And if I venture to put in a word against this talk, he snaps me up and says, women to the spinning wheel, and Statesmen, such as me to the Constitution. And then he sets his arms akimbo, and looks big and acts so queer, that if it didnt fret the very heart of me I should die for laughing.
Now whereas he wont hear to me, but calls me a weak woman, and such trash, I want you should take him up in the newspapers and tell him, as how that charity begins at home, and that he had better take care of his own family than to worry himself so all the time about the nation. The great folks wont make my husband a justice of the Peace, for his pains; no more will they send our sons to Cademy; but will like well enough to keep our noses upon the grindstone.
I believe that Mr. Tatters is a mighty head-peace; but then what signifies that?—After all his worryment and that time spent to save the nation, if he must go to jail to save himself, our great men wont pay his debts,
not they; he may budge there for all them.

Installation of a New King.
Official Account of the taking possession of the Sovereignty of Tuscany, executed in the name of His Majesty the King of Etruria, Lewis I. by Count Cesar Ventura, Marquis De Gallinetti, &c. Minister Plenipotentiary of His Etruscan Majesty.
FLORENCE, AUG. 4.
AT seven o'clock in the morning, the great bell of the old palace announced the solemn act that was about to take place.
At nine, a detachment of grenadiers, with drums beating, appeared in the Grand Saloon of the Old Palace, destined for the scene of the august ceremony, and they were immediately placed at their respective posts.
His Excellency Gen. Murat arrived at eleven with his staff, and was received by the Marquises Ferreni and Germi, who accompanied him to the Saloon of the Two Hundred, where an alcove had been prepared for him and his staff, until the moment of celebrating the act.
The Count de Ventura arrived soon after with the whole of his suite at the gate of the Old Palace, and was received by four Senators, who accompanied him to the Great Saloon.
The Plenipotentiary and the Commander in Chief entered the Saloon at the same moment, by different doors, and were received with the customary honours by the militia. They reached the throne exactly at the same time, and neither of them, as it had been agreed, took the precedence.
In the mean time, the Senate, the Civil Magistracy and the other Ministers, occupied the situations assigned them. The Minister Plenipotentiary and the General also took their seats.
A profound silence was observed in the Saloon, where no less than 2,500 persons belonging to the different orders of the State were assembled. The First Minister opened the ceremony, and the Notary of the State delivered a long speech, in which, after praising the wisdom of the French Republic, and the genius and talents of Gen. Bonaparte, he observed, that in consequence of the agreement between them and His Imperial Majesty, peace had been signed at Luneville. Having read the whole of the fifth article of the treaty, the Minister Plenipotentiary also read the proclamation of Lewis the First, announcing himself to the Tuscans as the new King of Etruria, and constituting him, the Count de Ventura, His Majesty's Plenipotentiary, to receive the customary oath of fidelity and obedience.
The Advocate-General next invited the Senate and Magistrates to take the oath, and this invitation was accepted by the Lieutenant of the Senate.
The Senators and the Priors of the Civil Community then proceeded to the foot of the Throne where, having saluted the portrait of His Majesty, the Minister Plenipotentiary, and the Commander in Chief, they took the oath, laying their right hands on the Holy Evangelists, which were kept open by the Deputy of the Equestrian Order of St. Henry.
All persons having resumed their seats, the Notary of the State read with a loud voice the solemn instrument of taking the oath, named the seven persons who had signed their names as witnesses, and entreated the benediction of Heaven for the new King, Lewis the First. This entreaty was greeted with universal acclamation.
Thus terminated this august ceremony, during which, every time when the French Republic or the royal personages were mentioned, the Minister Plenipotentiary, the Commander in Chief, and the Senate, uncovered themselves.
Letter from Vienna of the first of Aug.
Yesterday morning Lord Minto, the English Ambassador, received a courier from Lord Elgin, at Constantinople, and in the afternoon he published the important official news that the city and fort of Cairo, with the whole of the French troops in garrison, part of whom were in an entrenched camp, surrendered by capitulation to the united Turkish and British forces. The French troops were made prisoners of war, and are to be transported to France. The joy of the inhabitants of Cairo, upon the signing of the articles of capitulation, was unspeakable; and, had it not been for the presence of the English, the intemperance of the people would have been attended with fatal consequences to the French prisoners.
Ever since the middle of June the Grand Vizier, supported by Gen. Hutchinson, had surrounded Cairo,
and the other parts of the combined forces, had approached the forts, and threatened to attack them by a general storm. The French, perceiving they were likely to be overpowered, thought it most advisable not to wait the attack; they laid down their arms, and submitted themselves prisoners without drawing a sword.
The number of prisoners amounts to 5000 men, among whom are several Greeks and Armenians.
The result of this affair is, that the whole of Upper and Lower Egypt is in the power of the Turks and English, and the French have now no other possessions in Egypt than the city of Alexandria.
After the entrance of the Grand Vizier in Cairo, Gen. Hutchinson wished to proceed against Alexandria with the English, and the whole of the forces that could be spared. It was expected that Menou would follow the example of his comrades at Cairo, by an immediate capitulation.
The Porte and the public at Constantinople received the news of the surrender of Cairo, the capital of Egypt, with the most lively sensations of joy, and anticipated the entire loss of Egypt to the French.
This morning Lord Minto dispatched Mr. Howden, as courier, with the important news to London.
HAMBURG, AUG. 11.
We have this day received, by the ordinary post from Constantinople, letters of the 10th of July. These letters which do not come down to so late a date as the news by the before-mentioned courier, state that the want of water at Alexandria was so great, that every soldier was allowed to one cup full a day. Against the forts of Cairo (before the surrender of Generals Balliard, Grange, &c.) a quantity of heavy artillery was ordered. Gen. Hutchinson had, from several sources, obtained a reinforcement of 7000 men. The Turks, had made every necessary preparation against the landing of the French.
[Another Letter same date.]
Accounts have been received here from Malta, that Admiral Gantheume has actually cast anchor on the African coast, thirty German miles from Alexandria; but a squadron detached from Lord Keith's fleet making its appearance, he ordered his ships to slip their cables, and returned. The English, however, took eight empty French transports.
According to accounts from Constantinople, the Grand Signior has sent presents of great value to the Grand Vizier, the Captain Pacha, and Lord Keith.
Miscellaneous Articles.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 30.
On board the French ship captured on her voyage from Alexandria to France, were six officers and some private soldiers, whom Gen. Menou, partly on account of their misconduct, and partly for other reasons, had sent home. A short time before this ship was captured by the English, a quarrel broke out between the officers and crew, from causes not yet known, in consequence of which all the officers were murdered. After the death of the officers the Captain of the ship, who had no share in the mutiny, got possession of the dispatches, which, with the ship and crew fell into the hands of the English.
FLORENCE, AUG. 5.
The Count de Ventura having arrived here by order of His Majesty Lewis I. King of Tuscany, to receive in his name the oath of fidelity on the part of the Tuscans, and to take possession of his new States, that official act accordingly took place on the 2d inst. with uncommon pomp, and amidst the acclamations of a numerous and contented people.
The King will soon arrive, and preparations are making to receive him with a splendour suitable to his dignity.
A proclamation was issued by His Tuscan Majesty, empowering the Count de Ventura to be his representative in Tuscany until his arrival; and another proclamation was published by Gen. Murat, announcing the act of taking possession.
BRUSSELS, AUG. 6.
It is now known that the English Ministry has rejected the greater part of the propositions which the First Consul had offered as a basis for peace; so that little hope is entertained of a successful issue to the negotiations which have so long continued between England and France.
HAMBURG, AUG. 11.
By respectable advices from Ratisbon, of the 6th inst. there is but little hope that the business of indemnity will soon be settled. The Prussian Minister, in a secret conference, has declared in the most positive manner, that his Majesty the King of Prussia his master, would certainly oppose,
with all his power and influence, the secularizations in Germany, which have for object the indemnification of Italian Princes. A declaration to the same purport has been made by the Russian Ambassador.
LONDON, AUG. 14.
Lord Nelson it is said will take the command of the Mediterranean fleet. Lord Keith is expected home. Lord Duncan has retired from service, on account of his extreme age, and impaired constitution.
AUG. 17.
It is reported, that Lord Nelson was called from his station off Boulogne, in consequence of the signing preliminaries of peace.
A treaty between the French Republic, and the Pope, was signed at Paris the 15th July.
Porto Ferrajo, in the island of Elba, still holds out against the attacks of the French.
The harvest this year both in Great Britain and France, has been remarkably abundant.
LONDON, AUG. 15.
We learn from Paris, that Bonaparte has struck Gantheume's name from the list of Counsellors, for not landing his troops in Egypt.
The tonnage of the merchant shipping belonging to Great Britain appears to amount, in vessels above 20 tons burthen each, to the prodigious sum of 7,000,000 of tons.
The effects of the East-India Company in England and afloat, consisting of annuities, cash in the treasury, goods sold and not paid for, goods on hand, cargoes afloat, and other articles in their commerce, amounted in the year 1800, to sixteen millions, one hundred and eighty-five thousand, nine hundred and fifty-six pounds.
The sales of the Company's goods, which in the year 1793 were estimated, on an average, to amount to 4,988,300l. amounted last year to 7,367,727l.
The beneficial consequences of our late successes in Egypt are such, that it will probably turn out that the French began war with Cair-o and ended it with Cair-o .
PLYMOUTH, AUG. 15.
Came in from a cruise the Sylph , of 18 thirty-two pound carronades, and 120 men, Capt. Dashwood, after an action with a French frigate, of 44 guns, and 350 men, in sight of St. Andrew.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 24. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
We are informed that a man, named Wilson, with a team of five horses, was driving from Baltimore, on his way towards Kentucky, when the gust, on Tuesday evening commenced. About a mile from Mr. Townson's tavern, a sudden flash of lightning struck himself and horses, all of whom were instantly killed.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 23.
Letters received in town yesterday, from officers of the ship Pegasus , of
this port, state that she was captured on the 2d of January, off the island of Massa Fuero, (150 leagues from the Spanish coast) by a Spanish ship and brig—that the officers and men were kept in irons until their arrival at Lima, which was 60 days—that they were liberated on the 8th of May—and that some of the crew had taken their passage in the ship Diana for Canton and Bolton; and others in the ship Asia for Philadelphia. The Pegasus and cargo were condemned; but from her being captured so far from the Spanish coast, and some other circumstances, there is yet a hope that the property may be recovered.
The Danish Islands, it is said, were to have been delivered up to the Danes on the 20th instant.
SEPT. 28.
Capt. Herron, from Sligo, informs, that when he failed, he had on board upwards of 400 passengers—and that 90 of them died on the passage!—They died of a flux, which was brought on by the use of bad water. Most of the survivors are extremely unwell, and it is supposed many of them will soon die.
From Bourdeaux.
A French gentleman who arrived here yesterday in the ship Olive from Bourdeaux, informs that the news of Gantheume's having landed a part of his troops near Alexandria, was contradicted.
The great cry of the French people is Peace! Peace! Their situation is deplorable!—They have little commerce—and no money in their treasury.—Bills drawn on their government, though accepted, are not paid.—Merchants will not take them for goods even at 5 per cent. discount.
CATSKILL, SEPT. 21
HORRID MURDER and SUICIDE.
A gentleman from Hurley, near Kingston, Ulster county, has given us the following narrative of one of the most shocking and tragical catastrophes, which took place yesterday forenoon, that ever blackened the catalogue of human events. The wife of Mr. Josiah Deo, of a place called the Paltz, about two miles from Hurley, a woman of exemplary character, as to piety, modesty, and sensibility, rose in the morning, and went about the ordinary business of her family, getting breakfast, &c. with all her apparent cheerfulness and composure. After breakfast, she contrived to fend out all her family excepting three children which she had designed for destruction, viz—a boy about nine years old, a girl about seven, (both of whom were children by a former husband by the name of Zachariah Huffman,) an infant daughter about nine months old, which she had had since her last marriage.—Her husband she had persuaded to go to a cornfield at some distance, to see if there were not creatures in mischief—a daughter of Mr. Deo, by a former wife, a young woman, she had sent home with two children who had slept at her house the night previous, and who belonged to Mr. Deo's sister, living in the neighbourhood—a lad, also, a son of Mr. Deo, by his first wife, she told to go to a hatter's, about a quarter of a mile distant to get a hat, and to take with him a child, between two and three years old, which, with the infant above mentioned, were the only two she had had by Mr. Deo. Having thus arranged the family, she told the boy, one of the victims of her delusion, that he might go with some boys who were at play near by, while she combed his sister's head, but not go out of call, as she would comb his head also in a few moments.—She then took the girl into a back room which she had darkened for the purpose, by letting down the window curtains, and with a razor cut her throat from ear to ear.—The boy whom she had told to go to the hatter's, in the mean time, instead of going had seated himself on the door-steps, with the child, to wait as he says, for his brother's head to be combed, that he might go along with him;—he heard the little girl cry out directly "don't mamma" and the mother rather sternly replied "hold your tongue"—some faint struggles ensued, but not enough to alarm him.—The mother then came to the door and called the boy from play, and as soon as he entered, took him to the back room, and performed the same operation as upon the girl, tho' not quite so effectually—the boy at the door heard enough of this transaction, together with the recollection of having seen his mother take a razor from behind a looking glass and place it under an oil cloth upon a table, to frighten him, and he ran down a lane from the house with the child.—He had not ran far before he heard a noise behind him, and on looking round discovered his brother, (who in his struggles had got away from his mother) with the blood running from his throat—he passed him a little and then fell down dead. Another (married) daughter of Mr. Deo, who had also been absent on this fatal morning, happened, with
her husband to arrive at this moment upon the spot—the husband took up the boy, and perceived he was dead and covered with blood, but did not discover that his throat was cut, till after hastening to the house where he was witness to the most shocking spectacle—the mother, her little daughter and child, all with their throats cut and weltering in their blood.—A jury of inquest, of which our informant was one, was immediately summoned—their verdict was MURDER and SUICIDE, with one instrument, a razor.
What could have been the occasion of this melancholy event is totally unaccountable, unless it proceeded from a mistaken religious fanaticism—it is however evident from a number of circumstances, that the act was coolly premeditated:—The daughter who was sent away with the two children, on the Saturday preceding, expressed a wish to be absent at a neighbouring village for two or three days, observing that she had but little to do at home.—The mother replied, "You will have enough to do on Monday."—The daughter said she did not know of any thing particular.—The mother again replied, that it was no matter—she might depend on having enough to do—It is supposed she alluded to the burying of the dead.—Another circumstance, more striking, occurred after the close of the melancholy scene—the neighbours on examining a chest for linen to lay out the deceased, found in it articles exactly necessary for the purpose, parcelled out for each individual, and each parcel laid by itself. Mrs. Deo, was devoutly religious, practising prayer every night in her family—yet naturally cheerful and placid—apparently happy and contented in her family—was highly esteemed in the neighbourhood, and had never discovered the least trait of insanity.—She was a member of the congregational church, and had partaken of the sacrament but a week or fortnight before.
BOSTON, Oct. 2.
From Surinam, Aug. 29.
Capt. Carnes arrived at Quarantine from Surinam, informs, That on a petition from the English merchants, the General has prohibited the importation of provisions from the United States, excepting flour, fish, and corn-meal, and lumber. The petition was occasioned by the arrival of an English fleet with provisions.

Surinam, Paramaribo, Aug. 24, 1801.
SIR, I PRESUME you will excuse my requesting you to make public, that, in consequence of a petition from the British merchants here resident, to His Excellency the Governor, representing the great plenty of all the necessaries of life in this Colony, our trade is positively restricted to the admission of flour, fish, and lumber only. Of these articles there is a great supply. The only permitted articles of remittance, are, 1st, molasses, now at 18 shivers per gallon; bills of exchange, at 16 to 18 per cent advance, and silver and gold, at thirty per cent above their value in the United States.
Yesterday Capt. William Miller, came to town from New-Bedford, where he arrived in the ship President , Pinkham, from Gibraltar, in 45 days. The Tripolitan ship and brig at that place, were hauled up, and the crews sent home. The " Admiral " was on shore, and had not made himself remarkable by habits of temperance.—Tripoly appears to have been rendered at once quite harmless—and her fate may have a good effect upon the other Barbary Powers; and prevent future "squally" appearances.

NATURAL CURIOSITY.
A number of Strawberries were yesterday gathered in a pasture on the farm of Mr. Samuel Silbee, in the North Fields, in this town, perfectly ripe.

LEXINGTON, (Ken.) Aug. 21. A gentleman who arrived here yesterday says that two men from Cumberland had been murdered by some negroes as they descended the Ohio river, between Pittsburgh and Gal- liopolis. They had purchased the negroes on the Eastern shore of Mary- land, with the intention of taking them to the state of Tennessee.—The negroes are now in custody at Galli- polis.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 24. About 8 o'clock on Thursday evening, the waters of Jones's Falls rose to such an alarming and extra- ordinary height, as inundated all the houses situated on the east side of the marsh market. The water at first de- scended in a perpendicular column, supposed to be about 4 feet, and con- tinued to rise to nearly seven feet a- bove the usual level. From the vast quantity of framing, and other pieces of mechanism, which descended down the stream, great apprehensions are entertained of the destruction of some of the mills in the vicinity. M c Cau- land's new brewery, it was said suf- tained great injury.
CHARLESTON, Sept. 14. The following articles were copied from a very late Paris paper, and handed to a gentleman who came passenger in the Halcyon, the moment he was leav- ing Bourdeaux, on the 19th of July. The treaty of peace between Spain and France, and Portugal, was signed on the 8th of June last, in the city of Badajos.
By the first article Portugal cedes to Spain all the country this side of the river Guadiana, and this river for the future is to be the limits of the two kingdoms.
2d. Portugal obliges herself to in- demnify Spain for all the expenses in- curred since the declaration of war.
3d. All the fortifications and strong places which the Spaniards have ta- ken, other than those ceded, shall be demolished; that is, all those that are beyond the limits.
4th. Portugal shall pay to France four millions of dollars, as an indem- nification for her expenses.
5th. She cedes to France an estab- lishment in the Brazils.
6th. The fleet of Portugal shall be placed at the disposition of Spain and France, who may make use of it in the projected expedition.
7th. All the ports of Portugal shall be guarded until a general peace with England, and at the expence of Portugal, by 20,000 Spaniards and 10,000 French.
We do not know whether there are any secret articles or not.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28. By the arrival of the Eliza, from Bourdeaux we have received the dis- agreeable intelligence of the capture, by the Spaniards, of the ship Molly, and the brigs Maria and Sophia, of this port, bound to the Mediterranean. The aggregate amount of the car- goes of these vessels is estimated at 300,000 dollars, a great portion of which has been insured in this city.
We do not learn, under what pre- text the above captures have been made. Certain it is, that the honor of our country, and the obligations of the government to protect and defend our merchants in their lawful com- merce, cry out loudly for an explana- tion on this alarming subject.
ALBANY, Sept. 24. COMMUNICATION.
The Federalists have been accused of favouring aristocracy; or, in other words, of placing all power in the hands of a few, to the exclusion of a great portion of the community— These few have been stiled the well- born, aristocrats, monarchists; and a variety of other names and epithets have been employed to render the gov- erned dissatisfied with those who held the reins of government, or were placed in offices of distinction or emolu- ment.
The NEW order of things shews the democrats of juster ideas and more caution in the distribution of power and profit.—These liberty and equality gentry have placed all the power, hon- ors and profits of the state in the hands of TWO families to keep them so out of the reach of the aristocrats. The following specification will shew the justness of the remark.
GEORGE CLINTON , governor of the state of New-York.
JAMES CLINTON , his brother, dele- gate to the convention from Orange county.
DE WITT CLINTON , his nephew, a senator, and member of the council of appointment of this state.
CHARLES CLINTON , another neph- ew, member of the house of assembly, for Orange county; and
GEORGE CLINTON , jun. another nephew, delegate to the convention from the city of New-York. These include the whole family, except a young gentleman yet a clerk.
ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON , chancellor of the state of New-York, and mi- nister near the French Republic.
EDWARD LIVINGSTON , his brother, mayor of the city of New-York, and attorney of the United States for the New-York district.
MORGAN LEWIS , a brother-in-law, judge of the supreme court of the state of New-York.
JOHN ARMSTRONG , another broth- er-in-law, senator in congress from the state of New-York.
THOMAS TILLOTSON , another broth- er-in-law, secretary of state of the state of New-York.
BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON , member of assembly from the city of New- York.
GILBERT LIVINGSTON , surrogate of the county of Dutchess, and master in chancery.
LIVINGSTON , clerk of Dutchess county.
MATURIN LIVINGSTON , son-in-law of judge Lewis, register of the court of chancery of the state of New-York. Besides sundry justices of the peace, and military officers in different parts of the state.
Down with the well-born, and huzza for equality!
NEW-BEDFORD, Oct. 2.
The Ship President, of this port, Andrew Pinkham, mas- ter, arrived here since our last from Algezas, was captured on her voyage out, from New-York to Gibraltar, by the Spanish, and carried into Alge- zas, where vessel and cargo were con- demned, but the vessel afterwards given up.—We formerly mentioned the imprisonment of Capt. Pinkham, by the American Consul, and are now furnished with the following statement of that mysterious transaction, con- tained in an extract of a letter from Capt. Pinkham:—
"After being captured by the Span- ish privateers, and condemned by the tribunal at Algezas, and the ship given to me by the owner of the pri- vateers who captured her, and when I was on the point of sailing for Amer- ica, I was arrested and cast into a wretched prison by Patrick Mullony, Vice-Consul of the United States at that place, who set gun-boats to guard the ship; and after keeping me a pri- soner for the space of twenty-seven days , without alledging any thing to my charge, and withholding from me the means of subsistence, which I in vain repeatedly applied for; he then ver- bally released me, and told me to take my ship, and go when I pleased, and where I pleased; and when he was asked the cause of such proceedings, his answer was, he had acted by in- structions from the United States; but his refusing to shew them, induces me to doubt the truth of his assertion."
"I should no doubt have suffered greatly in prison but for the hospital- ity of Don Juan Epenosa, Interpreter to the Royal Navy at Algezas, who furnished me gratis from his own ta- ble, with something to subsist on dur- ing the term of my imprisonment."
ANDREW PINKHAM.
NEW-LONDON, Sept. 30.
FROM ALGESIRAS, July 26. "The privateers have brought in four American vessels this week; three of them for only having it in their in- structions to stop at Gibraltar, for con- voy, bound to Leghorn; and the o- ther for having letters on board for the officers of the American frigates at Gibraltar. Last night the ship Mol- ly, of Philadelphia, with 14 nine-poun- ders and forty men, was brought in a prize; she was taken after an action of two hours with seven privateers.— Where she was bound to I do not know, as they will let no one speak her; an American boat attempting to go alongside, was fired upon. I hope our Government do not intend to abandon our commerce to these miscreants."
"The same privateers, with the same commanders that cruized under French colours for American vessels, ten months ago, now carry on their depredations under Spanish colors, with more avidity than ever: and the judge condemns with less pretensions than ever."
BOSTON, Oct. 5.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Hartford, dated, 22d inst.
"Yesterday I voted for Col. Ben- jamin Talmadge, to represent this state in Congress. He will be chosen, you may rely.—The towns, such as we have heard from, are more federally inclined than ever:—The pendulum is vibrating back."
The Candidates, for Federal Re- presentative, in the first Eastern Dis- trict are Orchard Cook , Nathaniel Dum- mer , and Martin Kinley , Esq rs . The two former are the federal candidates. In 17 towns, already returned, Mr. Cook had 352 votes, Mr. Dummer 94, and Mr. Kinley 279. Several
of the towns, it is said, did not receive precepts in season to notify the meet- ing of the inhabitants. Since the reign of democracy this circumstance has frequently occurred.
A conspiracy against the life of the new Governor of Guadalupe, has been detected, and some of the conspi- rators executed. La Croffe, the Go- vernor, "was an officer of marines, when France was respected abroad, and flourished at home. He was born a nobleman, and always possessed an ample fortune. He has sustained an unblemished character all his life, ex- cept when he received the command of the frigate La Felicite, and came to Guadalupe in 1792, with orders he could not execute; which fault he has now come to repair, and he has pub- licly said, that La Croffe of 1801, is not the La Croffe of 1792, but that he will, to the utmost of his power, protect the planters and other respect- able inhabitants of that colony from the machinations of those infernals called Jacobins."
The "Mammoth Cheesee," has been removed, with great parade, from the cyder-press, to a suitable place to be turned, and dried. The weight of the Cheesee, at 15 days old, was 1235 pounds.
On Thursday the new Meeting- House of the first religious society in Newbury-Port, was formally dedica- ted to the honor and worship of God; when a sermon was delivered by the Rev. John Andrews, junior Pastor of the Church, from Psalm c. 4.
Every account confirms the remark, that Lord Nelson's attacks on the French coast were intended merely to infult the French on their own ground; in return for their gasonading threats of an invasion of England. Ld. Nel- son is too good a seaman to refuse any duty to which his superiors should or- der him; but, as their immortal poet says, "it was always yet the trick of our English nation, if they have a good thing, to make it too common."
PORTLAND, Sept. 28.
Dined on Friday evening last, Mr. Marston, of this town. While at sup- per on a beef steak, a piece too large to swallow, but which could not be removed from the passage, put an im- mediate period to his existence.
EXCELLENT ANECDOTE.
Duke Shandois, (of convivial memory) one day gaming at the Groom porters in London, after having look- ed at his watch, missing his fob, put it in between the lining of his breeches and his shirt—Some time after, he missed his watch, and informing a no- bleman who sat by him of it, the no- bleman immediately stood up, and locking the door, said, Duke Shandois had lost his watch, and that every person present should stand a strict search. Accordingly a general search was made, no person refusing, but one young gentleman very decently dressed, who drew his sword, and said he had not the Duke's watch, and that he would not be searched by any man in England. The Duke took a fit of laughing at the gentleman's foolish resistance, as he thought it, and in his shaking on the chair, he felt his watch in his breeches under his thigh, and cried out immediately that he had found his watch.
When all the confusion subsided, the Duke rose up, went to the young man and calling him aside, asked him what could be his reason for refusing to be searched, as he was innocent, and as he knew it was a measure that would be insisted upon? Upon which the young man said, to satisfy your grace, I will tell you, though I would not tell any other person in England. I am a younger brother, I have spent a large personal fortune, and am now reduced to great distress, I dined yes- terday at a friend's house, and not knowing where to dine this day, I put a cold fowl in my pocket, and would sooner fight any man in Eng- land, than it should be discovered there.
Theft Punished.
The following account of a remark- able instance of prompt and decisive, though accidental punishment of a thief, is extracted from the supple- ment to the European Magazine for 1795.
A man who had the appearance of a labourer, was found strangled in a field near Cumberwell, Surrey. It appeared that he had stolen a sheep, the hind legs of which he had tied to- gether, and put them over his fore- head, in order to carry it away, but it is thought that, in getting over the gate, the sheep struggled and by a sudden spring flit its feet down to his throat; for in that posture they were found, the animal hanging on one side of the gate and the dead man on the other.
PORTSMOUTH, OCTOBER 6.
In the western part of Massachu- setts, a man, who went out to mow, not returning at the expected time, one of his family, on his way to en- quire the cause, found him dead, and much swelled, about 40 rods from the place where he had been working; at which place was found a large rat- tlesnake, killed; on examining the man, it was found, that he had been bitten in the heel by the snake.
Thomas Bruff, of Chester-town, Maryland , has constructed and pat- ented a machine for manufacturing Sil- ver Spoons, which with one impres- sion, and one hand to work it, will turn out, from a flat bar, a Spoon in a minute, ready for the punch, with heel and name impressed upon it.
FIRES.] —Two barns, the prop- erty of Capt. Hubbard, of Claremont, filled with hay and grain, valued at 2000 dollars, were burnt down last week, with their contents.—The fire was communicated by discharging a gun at a squirrel, in the barn. This accident may teach others to be more careful.
The valuable Carding Machines, be- longing to Messrs. Gookins and Stand- ring, of Haverhill, (N. H.) lately took fire, and burnt to ashes. We under- stand the owners of these machines are men of enterprise; and that, with the assistance of the liberal people of Haverhill, they will shortly have them rebuilt and ready for business.
We learn, by an arrival at New- York, that a duty of five pr. cent. has been laid on all imported goods at Guadalupe; and a new duty upon exports.
The exports from Louisville, in Ken- tucky, on the Ohio, in the three months ending Aug. 13, 1801, amounted to 153,851 dollars.
The population of the state of New- York, according to the late census, is 586,141.
The population of Great-Britain, according to a census lately taken, is 8,217,562.
Italy has to maintain 120,000 French troops; Spain 50,000; Hol- land 30,000; and Switzerland 10,000. —Call you this backing your friends?

OLD TIMES, and NEW.
WHEN I was a youngster, our women were prudent. Our spinsters demure, and our matrons sedate. In economy's school ev'ry wife was a student. And seldom contentions arose, or debate, By her chimney side the good thrifty bride. At her rock, at her reel, at the books of the maker, Then the family board real joys could afford. And pleas'd the fond husband set by to remark it. Then we laugh'd away, quaff'd away, Age threw his staff away. Health, ruddy health, on each countenance shone. Our girls of their beauty Thought less than their duty, And fathers were certain those girls were their own. Your quality misses, how diff'rent we find them! If vice was the fashion they'd all be profane; And you, quality wives not a whit are behind them. No power can their profligate humours restrain. From assemblies to balls, folly beckons and calls. Hark! her summons and see how they pant to obey it, While no longer uxorious, their husbands, notorious. Gods! it drives a plain man nearly mad to survey it. Dash away, splash away, Squander their cash away. Visiting twenty score friends of a night, With their harps, pipes and tabors, Distracting their neighbours. Common sense stands confounded, and reason takes flight.
