SALEM, March 5.
A SEA FIGHT.
Gallantly and victoriously maintained by the ship Perseverance , capt. Richard Wheatland, of this port, against one of the vessels of the "Terrible Republics." The French rascals, contrary to the laws of war and of honor, fought under false colors, whilst the Eagle, true to his charge, spread his wings on the American flag.
The following is capt. Wheatland's letter to his owners. Ship Perseverance, Old Straits of Bahama, Jan. 1, 1799.
GENTLEMEN,
CONCEIVING we may possibly meet an opportunity of forwarding this immediately on our arrival at the Havana, or perhaps before, induces me to give an account of our voyage thus far.
Until 26th December met with nothing very material, except heavy disagreeable weather, off the coast; and having the winds so far to the westward as to preclude the possibility of getting round the Bank, were compelled, contrary to our wishes, to go through the Old Straights of Bahama. On the afternoon of the 27th, were boarded by the British frigate Romilla , capt. Rolles; our papers examined, and we treated with great politeness. They purchased (at our own prices) a number of articles from the cargo and of the people. Three days before, they had captured a French privateer sloop, of 10 guns and 60 men, and retook an American brig, her prize. After two hours detention we were permitted to proceed, which we did, without meeting any interruption, till Monday, 31st December—for particulars of that day, we give an extract from a journal kept on board.
"December 31st, Key Roman in sight, bearing South, distance 4 or 5 leagues. A Schooner has been in chase of us since eight o'clock, and has every appearance of a privateer. At 1 o'clock P. M. finding the sch. came up with us very fast, took in steering sails, fore and aft, and royals; at half past one, about ship and stood for her; she immediately tacked and made sail from us; we fired a gun to leeward, and hoisted the American ensign to our mizen peak; she hoisted a Spanish jack at main-top-mast head, and continued to run from us. Finding the out-sailed us greatly, and wishing to get through the narrows in the Old Straights, at two o'clock, as we again about ship and kept on our course. The Schooner immediately wore, fired a gun to leeward, and kept after under a great press of sail. At half past 2 the again fired a gun to leeward; but perceiving ourselves in the narrows above mentioned, we kept on, to get through them if possible before she came up with us, which we effected. At 3 o'clock, finding ourselves fairly clear of Sugar Key and Key Laboa, we took in steering sails, wore ship, hauled up our courses, piped all hands to quarters, and prepared for action. The Schooner immediately took in sail, struck the Spanish jack, hoisted an English union flag, and passed under our lee at a considerable distance. We wore ship, she did the same, and passed each other within half mucket. A fellow hailed us with broken English, and ordered the boat hoisted out, and the captain to come on board with his papers, which he refused; he again ordered our boat out, and enforced his orders with a menace, that in case of refusal he would sink us!!! Using at the same time the vilest and most infamous language it is possible to conceive of. By this time he had fallen considerably astern of us; he wore and came up on our starboard quarter, giving us a broadside as he passed our stern, but fired so excessively wild that he did us very little injury, while our stern chasers gave him a noble dose of round shot and langrage. We hauled the ship to wind, and as he passed us poured a whole broadside into him with great success. Sailing faster than we, he ranged considerably ahead, tacked and again passed, giving us a broadside and a furious discharge of musketry, which they kept up incessantly till the latter part of the engagement; his musket balls reached us in every direction; but his large shot either fell short or went considerably over us; while our guns, loaded with round shot and square bars of iron six inches long, were piled so briskly, and directed with so good judgment, that before he got out of our reach we had cut his mainstay and foretopmast all to rags, and cleared his decks so effectually, that when he bore away from us there were scarcely ten men to be seen. He then struck his English and hoisted the flag of the "Terrible Republic," and made off with all the sail she could carry, much disappointed, no doubt, at not having been able to give us a fraternal embrace. The wind being light, and knowing that he would outail us, added to a solicitude to complete our voyage, prevented our pursuing him; Indeed we had sufficient to gratify our revenge for his temerity; for there was scarcely a single fire from our guns but what spread entirely over his hull—the action which lasted an hour and twenty minutes, we conceive ended well; for exclusive of preserving the property entrusted to our care, we feel a confidence we have rid the world of some infamous pests of society. We were within mucket shot the whole time of the engagement, and were so fortunate as to receive but very trifling injury; not a person on board met the slightest harm. Our sails were a little torn, and one of the quarter deck guns dismounted. The privateer was a Schooner of 80 or 90 tons, copper bottom, and fought five or six guns on a side. We are now within 48 hours sail of Havana, where we expect to arrive in safety; indeed we have no fear of any privateer's preventing us, unless greatly superior in
force. The quarter deck guns will require new carriages; one of them was entirely dismounted.
We remain with esteem, Gentlemen, Your humble servant, RICHARD WHEATLAND.
Capt. Wheatland, in a letter from the Havana, of the 16th of January, adds— "The Gentleman we brushed in the Old Straits, 3 days after captured a brig from Charleston, and detained the captain 16 days on board, and then gave him the boat and set the crew adrift. The captain has since arrived here, and informs us that the privateer was a Schooner of 818 pounds and 50 men; that a number of her people were dangerously wounded; that she had four round shot through her bottom, a bar iron through her counter, and four feet water in her hold, when she got away; that her sails were cut entirely to pieces, and the boat on her deck was shattered by the discharge of our gun. The villain fought under English colours. In fact they capture under English and American flags altogether. It is impossible to discriminate; and every armed vessel that approaches us (under whatever colours) if we can manage her, shall be fired into. The master of the privateer observed to the captain, while he was detained on board, that his men were armed 30 of them with pistols and a short dagger each, and were prepared and determined to board the ship, but our booms and boarding nettings deterred him. The rascals run up along side American ships, under English colours, and jump on board, and capture the vessels before they are sensible of it. He had no idea we should have fired into a vessel with the English union flag."
The gallantry of young Mr. Ingersoll, on board the Perseverance , we are well assured, contributed greatly to second the determined bravery of Captain Wheatland in defending the ship. Indeed the whole ship's company deserve well of their owners and of their country.
LEGISLATURE.
Of Rhode-Island & Providence Plantations.
FEBRUARY SESSION, 1799.
Kentucky, passed on the 10th day of November last, being communicated to this Assembly:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Legislature, the second section of the third article of the constitution of the United States, in these words, to wit:— The judicial power shall extend to all cases, arising under the laws of the United States, vests in the Federal Courts, exclusively, and in the Supreme Court of the United States, ultimately, the authority of deciding on the constitutionality of any act or law of the Congress of the United States.
Resolved, That for any State Legislature to assume that authority would be, 1st. Blending together legislative and judicial powers.
2d. Hazarding an interruption of the peace of the States by civil discord, in case of a diversity of opinions among the State Legislatures; each State having in that case no resort for vindicating its own opinion, but to the strength of its own arm.
3d. Submitting most important questions of law, to less competent tribunals; and
4th. An infraction of the Constitution of the United States, expressed in plain terms.
Resolved, That altho' for the above reasons this Legislature, in their public capacity, do not feel themselves authorized to consider and decide on the constitutionality of the Sedition and Alien laws (so called) yet they are called upon by the exigency of this occasion, to declare, that in their private opinions, these laws are within the powers delegated to Congress, and promotive of the welfare of the United States.
Resolved, That the Governor communicate these Resolutions to the Supreme Executive of the State of Kentucky, and at the same time express to him, that this Legislature cannot contemplate, without extreme concern and regret, the many evil and fatal consequences which may flow from the very uncharitable Resolutions aforesaid, of the Legislature of Kentucky, passed on the tenth day of November last.
The above resolutions, and similar ones in answer to those of Virginia were concurred in by both Houses with only one dissenting voice.
Charters were granted to the Providence Insurance Company, and to an Insurance Company about to be established in New-Port.

Extract of a letter from Captain Thomas Truxton, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated on board the United States ship Constellation, in sight of the island of St. Christopher, Feb. 10, 1799.
DEAR SIR, I WROTE you the 4th inst. to which I must beg leave to refer, and soon after weighed from Bassetterre road, St. Christopher, and proceeded to sea, having made the necessary arrangements with the merchants and masters of vessels for a convoy, to sail this day for the United States, under charge of the Norfolk and Richmond, which vessels I directed to cruise, in the mean time, near St. Bartholomew and St. Martin's, so as to be at hand to proceed with the convoy at the time appointed.
The following is the account of the action between the Constellation and Insurgente, to which Captain Truxton refers, as correct, in his letter to Mr. Yellot.
From a St. Christopher's paper.
BASSETTERRE, Feb. 15, 1799. On Tuesday last the American frigate Constellation, of 38 guns, commodore Truxton, brought in the French national frigate Insurgente, of 40 guns, captain Bureau, which she captured on the 9th instant, off the south side of this island.
As neither of the above signals were answered, the commodore observed that he suspected the chase to be an enemy; and scarcely had he expressed his opinion, when the American ensign was hauled down, the French national flag hoisted, and a gun fired to windward.
Extract of a letter from Captain Stephen Decatur, of the United States ship of war, Delaware, dated
Gulph Florida, Feb. 12, '99. ON the 8th inst. at 6 P. M. saw a large ship to the northward, sailing after us; at the same time discovered several sail running down; we made sail to cut them off from the land, which we soon did, and in the course of half an hour, beat the ship ashore hull down.
I have just received a polite letter of congratulation from the commander in chief, who offers me every service in his power; and I have directed all the wounded from on board the Insurgente to be immediately landed, and sent to the hospital.
The following is an accurate return made this morning by lieutenant Rogers, commanding the prize, taken from the examining officers, of the killed and wounded on board the Insurgente, viz.
Table with 2 columns: Killed, Badly wounded, Wounded more slightly, Total killed and wounded. Values: 29, 22, 19, 70.
We had, as I wrote to you only one man killed, and two badly wounded, one of which is since dead, the other is a midshipman, Mr. McDonough, who lost his foot; an ordinary seaman was afterwards discovered to be slightly wounded: this is the whole number lost and injured on board the Constellation.
I shall proceed to repair the damages sustained to both ships as speedily as possible, and until the pleasure of the President of the United States, is known, I intend to give Lieut. John Rogers an order to command the Insurgente. He was one of the first Lieutenants appointed, has a claim to being among the first promotions, but a very strong one, for behaving well, and being the first lieutenant of the Constellation, at the capture of the first governmental ship of any consequence, ever made by the arms of the United States at sea since our being known as a nation; the other officers I shall appoint as he same way.
My gun deck is divided into three divisions, the first of five guns and opposite superintended by the first lieutenant, Mr. Rogers, the second of five guns and opposite by the second lieutenant, Mr. Cowper. The third of four guns, and opposite, by the third lieutenant, Mr. Sterrett.
The following is the account of the action between the Constellation and Insurgente, to which Captain Truxton refers, as correct, in his letter to Mr. Yellot.

the crews had not reached the Havanna from those ports by land; nor, if the information is true, does it reflect upon captain Decatur, whose activity, and character are too well known to want certificates; but his single vessel cannot be every where, nor can he catch every fast sailing privateer, which may be employed to distress our trade.
I was not born in France, but in Switzerland, and it will not be readily imagined, that the misfortunes of my native country, can have given rise to any sentiments injurious to my adopted one.

The same letter makes mention of the tale of the Tubs, stating, that immediately on the receipt of the news, an express was sent to Charleston by order of government, requiring those sons of darkness, those tools of the great and incomprehensible beast, to repair to Philadelphia...
Capt. Smith, of the sloop Nancy, arrived this morning, in 8 days from Charleston, informs that those infamous incendiaries, who were sent on the business of exciting a revolution among the negroes in the southern states, and who by the vigilence of our executive were happily detected, are still confined in the fort, with the additional security of being in irons.
Baltimore, March 11. On Monday night last, two attempts were made to set fire again to the borough of Norfolk. The mayor and aldermen are using their best endeavors to bring the incendiaries to punishment, and have offered a reward of 500 dollars for their apprehension.
