FRENCH COMMERCE.
Memorial of the Engravers and Printers employed at the Manufactories of Printed Cottons in the city of Rouen, to the First Consul of the French Republic.
General First Consul,
"If there be a principle at present generally agreed upon, it is, that the power and true greatness of empires are the patrimony of the industrious and commercial nations. England, more than any other nation, presents a model worthy of imitation. This empire, consisting of a territory of but small extent, and containing scarcely more than ten millions of individuals, possesses, notwithstanding, a marked preponderance in the commercial system of the whole world. Far from the war having proved disastrous to this power, amidst the calamities of the nations of the continent, she has established a domination of such colossal magnitude, that for a long period no nation can enter into competition with her."
"France, more than any other power, seemed destined, by the genius of her inhabitants and her position, to excite that competition, to balance the value of the products of industry, and to maintain the contest in every thing which relates to the perfection of any production; and this merit is allowed to her by the unequivocal suffrages of all nations. But the cause which paralyses our industry and our commerce, originated in circumstances of, perhaps, a more powerful operation than any which have been hitherto alleged."
"The French government, almost incessantly occupied during six years with its own political dissensions, and having to carry on a war at home and abroad, could but little employ itself in examining these circumstances, and in preventing their effects. The epoch of a general peace induced a hope of less disastrous consequences. We made bold to inform you, Citizen General, that it is of extreme urgency that you should fix your attention upon the city of Rouen and the department. Our manufacturing industry is on the verge of ruin, if speedy measures do not stop the decay produced by false theories, and the spirit of the commercial system."
"Some have ventured to assert, that French industry can be carried to the highest perfection only by the stimulus of a rival industry. Where, then, is this rivalry to be found? Is it in the execution of the processes for completing the products of our industry, or in the want of the raw materials necessary to this perfection? Is it in the channels of consumption for a commerce as yet but of very small extent, from the want of confidence? or, in a word, is it from a more fatal consequence in the little national spirit possessed by Frenchmen?"
"Foreign industry, and particularly that of our powerful rival, enjoys a degree of protection too little regarded by the French merchant, and which, though hitherto overlooked, has rendered it predominant. Ours, on the contrary, compelled to trust to its own efforts, exhibits only decay, and complete depression. On the one side there is an abundance of raw materials, and at moderate prices; and immense capitals, and resources always presented by the public banks, enable the manufacturer to attempt and to support every speculation. On the other, those materials are scarce, and very dear: capital is not advanced for the promotion of our manufactures, but at a ruinous interest: in a word, an exchange destructive of commerce and confidence dries up every source of national prosperity; every thing makes in favour of the rivals of our manufacturing industry, and we must be speedily involved in total ruin! Yet there are persons who can maintain that France must have the advantage in a competition where the means are so unequal!"
"We hold the same opinions as to the perfection of the objects of industry; but what signifies the value of things, if the sale be not certain, and if the nation give greater advantages to foreign products? Our reflections are fixed on the present state of affairs. Scarce has maritime peace been proclaimed, when the introduction of merchandize commences, the French warehouses are overlooked, our manufactures languish and forebode
general ruin. The French foil has not rejected the foreign commodities; avarice and extortion have favored their circulation. See what is the result. The productions of industry incumber the warehouses of our manufacturers; labour is repressed; workshops are shut up; thousands of workmen are thrown out of employment, without even a prospect of being able to gain wherewith to support their numerous families."
"'Tis but an imperfect view of the picture. Let us consider the future. By and by, if such a system do not cease, if French commerce prefer the products of foreign nations, if our manufactories and workshops receive no encouragement, all is over! All the shops are shut, manufacturing industry abandoned, talents paralysed, and thousands of citizens, with their families, reduced to the most frightful poverty! While we are repining to you our fears and alarms, there is not a fourth part of us in a state of activity. Every day witnesses many unfortunate men swelling the list of victims. Those who are yet retained, are retained only in consideration of old services: and they are threatened soon to share those calamities with which that class are afflicted, if the government do not speedily remove the evil."
"This is not all. Our hands once become idle, a thousand other states participate our misfortunes by a necessary consequence; our junction shops their labours, every thing is linked together in a state; if you dam up a brook at the source, the fertile plains it watered are struck with barrenness."
"We are exposing, General Consul, great and touching truths. Oh! That you could hear the cries of want, the sighs and the despair of the families of our unfortunate companions! they are absolutely naked, and can see nothing before them but more profound distress."
"General Consul, we expect, from your solicitude, a period to those miseries which weigh upon us in so terrible a manner. A few moments more, and our important city will possess no more workmen; many of them will be devoured by want and misery. Disgust and offers from foreigners will have caused the emigration of the rest! What powerful considerations!"
"We have spoken the truth; government is worthy to hear it. We hope that the First Magistrate of the Republic will turn his paternal regard towards one of the most industrious departments, to the workshops of our manufacturers, that their labours may receive encouragement! The workman asks only one favor, that his hands may be constantly employed, that his work may suffice for supplying his wants.—Then his wishes will be accomplished."
FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
THE FIRST BOOK OF THE KINGS. CHAPTER I.
1. Now it came to pass that there arose in the South, a great man named George, a mighty man of valor, and he smote the Albionites, and subdued them, and took Israel and her towns, out of the hands of the Albionites.
2. And all Israel gathered themselves together, and spake with one voice, saying, George thou hast done mighty things in Israel, be thou, therefore, our King and rule over us.
3. So George reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people, and they covered him with honor, yet it puffed him not.
4. And in his days the land was quiet eight years, and after George had reigned eight years, he died; and all the people of Israel mourned, for they loved him exceedingly.
5. And about these days there arose in the East a King named John, who was the son of a tanner, of the tribe of the Adamites, which was scattered over Israel. And the people murmured, saying—how cometh it to pass that this man reigneth King over us.
6. Now the Israelites feared John, lest he should rule them, as with a rod of iron; for John was learned in the wisdom of princes, and had written a book teaching for doctrines the customs of the Albionites.
7. Howbeit, the people reasoned one with another, saying, let us have John to rule over us for a season. Peradventure,
he hath forgotten the doctrines contained in the book he hath written.
8. So John reigned; but walked not in the ways of George, neither forgot he the words he had written.—For he laid upon the people burthens heavy to be borne, and gathered unto him an host of officers, all taken from his own tribe.
9. Then he called together his chief counsellors, and spake unto them saying—Let us make a law, and put a gag into the mouths of the Israelites, lest they should gainsay and complain unto us of their grievances.
10. Nevertheless many of the people spake boldly unto John, saying, it is not lawful for thee to put a gag into our mouth—is it not written on the tables of stone that we may open unto thee our hearts, and speak unto thee freely with our lips?
11. And John was sorely vexed; and calling unto him his judges, he said unto them, Harken unto me every one of you, and understand:
12. Know ye not that the Israelites grow discontented under my yoke, and that out of their lips proceed doctrines grating to mine ears: therefore I say unto you bring them before the judgement seat, and from some take away their liver; and the rest cast ye into prison—leave them, neither scrip nor scrawl.
13. Now the judges also, were every one of them, of the tribe of the Adamites; and straightway, they did as John commanded them.
14. And the anger of the people was kindled against John, and being pricked to the heart, he called together his whole council, and spake unto them, saying, go ye into all the country round about, and fetch unto me strong men for battle, chosen from among the scattered tribe of the Adamites, and I will appoint unto me captains over hundreds and captains over thousands.
15. And my ships shall be in number, (like unto the Albionites) even as the sand on the sea shore. And I will say unto the people for a pretence, let us make war against the Franks.
16. And when his council had done as John commanded, it pleased him exceedingly; and he said—behold! Now am I established in my kingdom and my fame will go out among all the nations, and I will continue to reign in Israel, I, and my son, and my son's son, to the latest generation.
17. And all the Adamites said amen; but the men of Israel laid—nay, not so.
18. And they gathered together and appointed unto themselves chosen men of Israel, men of eloquence; and they spake unto John with a loud voice (for it was the voice of truth, which was mighty powerful in these days,)
19. Saying, behold! is it not written in the tables of stone —choose ye whomsoever ye will, to rule over you.
20. Now the children of Israel were powerful in strength and in numbers; and John feared lest his crown should fall from off his head; and he reasoned with himself, saying—it seemeth meet unto me that I should dismiss, my chief counsellors, and my captains over hundreds, and my captains over thousands, and my horsemen, and my footmen.
21. (Peradventure it will please the Israelites, and they will choose me again to rule over them.) And he did so; and said unto the people do ye as it seemeth right in your own eyes; and choose whom ye will have to rule over you, even as it is written on the tables of stones .
22. And they cast lots, and the lot fell on Thomas, a chief man among the Israelites. And all the Israelites with one voice said, Amen. But John was confounded; for he wot not, that it should be so.
23. Now when it came to the ears of John, that Quincy had lost his birth-right it grieved him to the soul; so that he lighted his lamps, and mounted his chariot, that he might escape out of the city before morning.
24. And Thomas executed judgement and justice, with wisdom and mercy. He called unto himself for counsellors, wise men from among the Israelites, and his fame was in all nations round about.
25. In these days the land was quiet and peaceable.—And the ships of Thomas rode in safety, on the waters. But the Adamites were filled with anger against him, because he took not his offi-
cers from out of their tribe. So there arose a murmuring among them.
26. And they said one to another—What meaneth this fellow? Doth he not take away from us our occupations, whereby we have our wealth? And he draweth our ships of war upon the dry places, and he beateth our swords into ploughshares, and our spears into pruning-hooks, that we may learn war no more. Behold! Our craft is in danger?
27. Let us therefore revile Thomas, and say all manner of evil concerning him; and let us send forth messengers among the people, and persuade them if possible, that Thomas regardeth not justice, but walketh after strange Gods.
28. Howbeit, the people believed them not; for they knew the Adamites, that they were grasping after loaves & fishes, and that while religion was in their mouths, yet as to their hearts, it was far from them.
FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
SYDNEY, No. VII.
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
To test the sincerity and consistency of the leaders of the federal party, I have appealed to the events and language of the memorable period of 1798; a period, which has been denominated the period of terror. At the commencement of that year, Mr. Adams had been only ten months in office. It will be recollected by those who participated in the events of that day, that a great conflict of opinion had been waged between the republicans and federalists, in which the characters of the rival candidates, Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Adams, underwent the severe ordeal of public investigation.
No sooner had Mr. Adams placed himself in the chair of state than a serene horizon was exchanged for one louring with the omens of storms. The measures, which he took with a rashness, which has been falsely called vigor, carried the appearance of tranquillity still further and further from our hopes. In December 1797, Congress assembled; and then it was that every organ of Presidential power was forced into exercise. The public mind, already sufficiently elevated, was attempted to be carried to a pitch of fury; and divisions of an alarming hue were fomented among the people. The federalists seized the national enthusiasm, and having obtained that, pushed on to a development of views hitherto hidden.
Among the measures of this memorable session, was one, which though not of the greatest importance, served the federalists as the occasion of making known, at a propitious period, their peculiar and characteristic political sentiments.
Flushed with victory, and in the full hope of brighter triumphs, it may safely be inferred that they, on this occasion, spoke what they thought.
The occasion referred to was on the passage of the bill respecting foreign intercourse. From the debate that took place we shall make copious extracts from federal speeches, occasionally noticing the remarks of the republican members, where they tend to elucidate the view proposed to be taken. These extracts shall be first exhibited, with but concise comment, until they are closed, when, if it shall be thought useful, some further remarks will be made.
On the 18th Jan. 1798, a bill was taken up in the House of Representatives, extending the usual appropriations for foreign intercourse, allowing therefor the annual sum of 68,650 dollars.
Mr Nicholas opened the debate by declaring his hostility to the bill, and his desire to bring back the subject of foreign intercourse to the ground on which it stood previous to its extension in 1796.
He said "It was particularly necessary to guard against the encrease of executive patronage; because the number of representatives in that department of government was small, in proportion to their constituents; and their power of gaining influence was great, in proportion to the smallness of their number. It was necessary to attend to the patronage entrusted to this branch of the government, as he was sorry to say that he believed that patronage had been made use of to influence the public mind in a particular direction; as

was a fact very evident that no man could be admitted into the offices of the government of this country, unless he made a sacrifice of all political opinion to executive authority.
"There was another reason for adopting the change which he proposed. Our public agents abroad were mostly chosen from the Legislature itself; and it was worthy of serious consideration, that the most active offices which government had to bestow, were filled with legislative characters."
"Mr. N. said, his own opinion with respect to foreign diplomatic intercourse was, that we ought to have none. We should be better without any sort of political intercourse with foreign nations, and he should with commerce to be left to seek its own markets. He did not wish, however, to set up his opinion as a standard in this business; all he desired was, to bring it back to its original establishment."
"Mr. Harper, a federal member, said, in reply, that, 'Whenever a set of gentlemen in any country found their views opposed by the measures of government, they became vexed, & attributed the proceedings of those who differed from them in opinion to any motive rather than the public good. The desire of executive favour, or executive offices, was an usual charge, and it was at this day well understood.'
"Mr. Allen, a federal member, said, 'He [Mr. Nicholas] had it longly wounded the House against executive patronage. He spoke of the different departments of government as distinct bodies, having different interests, as if the executive was forming a patronage against which it was important for that House to guard. He thought language of this kind very improper. He believed it might have bad effect out of doors, when the people heard of the executive being thus charged. Instead of making these charges, he wished the gentleman had said, "Come now, and let us reason together." This would have been preferable to calling of hard names, to speaking of the lust of dominion, and of patronage; as if one branch of the government was in danger of being swallowed up by the other.'
"Mr. Gallatin, a republican member, "believed that there was a number of people in the U. States—people otherwise enlightened, and upon all common subjects, possessed of sound understandings, who were fully convinced that there was a faction existing within the United States, and even within the walls of that House who wished to demolish the government; and he further believed that this opinion was supported by such declarations as had been made by the gentleman from Connecticut; but they should not be considered as dangerous to the safety of the community. Nor could he consider the determination of the executive to employ only such persons as are of the same political opinion with themselves, as of such a nature as to produce fatal consequences, and that government, on that account, was unworthy of confidence. He believed that such a line of conduct must flow from the present state of parties in America, divided as the people were upon many important occasions. To say, therefore, that the executive employed persons of consonant political opinions to its own, was not to say the government did not deserve confidence."
The reader will feel the pointed application of these cool remarks of Mr. Gallatin to the present state of things. Though the favouritism of the executive had become exclusive, still he did not consider it as proof that "the government did not deserve confidence." On the contrary he "believed that such a line of conduct must flow from the present state of parties in America, divided as the people were upon many important occasions." If then the exclusive partiality of the Adams administration ought not, in his opinion, to have deprived the government of confidence, even in the opinion of their opponents, how much less should a few removals of federalists by the present administration deprive them of confidence, in the opinion of their opponents?
"Mrs. Sitgreaves, a federal member, said "It had also been observed, that it had become an avowed principle in the government, to exclude from public offices, all those who were of a different opinion from the executive. He knew not upon what foundation this assertion was made, and it was very immaterial whether true or not, for himself, he had no objection to declare it to be his opinion, that whenever the administrators of government had deviated from a rule of this kind, they had done so to their sorrow and to their loss, and the experiences of government in this respect had produced a sad and awful lesson which would doubtless have its effect in future."
"But, was it for that house to enquire into these things? He believed not, the constitution and laws of the country had made certain offices necessary, and it left the executive to fill them as he pleased; and was it for that house to attempt to control this discretion? If it were executed to the injury of the people, the constitution had pointed out the remedy to be by impeachment. But where was the crime, the offence, or the impropriety of the conduct ascribed to the executive, if it had been adopted? Would gentlemen say that the executive ought to appoint persons to office who professed an opinion contrary to its own? Did gentlemen suppose that there was such a want of integrity in this department of government, that it adopted a political opinion which it did not believe to be right; and if it were believed to act from principle, would it be prudent, or right, to admit to a participation in the execution of the important duties of government, persons whose sentiments were not in unison with those of the executive, and who could only create discord and confusion, where nothing but harmony and union ought to prevail? If the executive acted upon just principles, it would endeavour to give singleness of design to its operations, and it could only do this by admitting persons into the government who thought with it. Where this had been deviated from (as he had before observed) government had received an awful lesson for its future conduct."
Read, fellow-citizens, these unequalled remarks over and over again. In press them upon your memories. Compare them with the clamour excited by the violence of federalism, by a few removals of federal, and a few appointments of republican officers! Mark the inconsistency between men in power and out of power. Recollect that this man received an office from Mr. Adams, with the emolument of £1,000 sterling, near 5,000 dollars a year. When you are stung with the abuse of your President, contrast his moderation with the violence of his enemies."
"Mr. T. Pinckney (a federal member, the same who formed our treaty with Spain) spoke against the adoption of Mr. Nicholas's amendment at that time; but observed, "If peace were restored in Europe, and we had no difference to settle there, he should agree with the gentleman from Virginia, and with the opinion of the old Congress, that it would be well to keep no foreign ministers in Europe. All commercial regulations might be as well carried on by consuls as by ministers; and if any difference should arise betwixt this country and any of the European governments, special envoys might be sent to settle them, as heretofore, for when the situation of this country was considered, it would appear to be for our interest to have as little political connection with Europe as possible, and therefore ministers could be of no use, but might do mischief. Gentlemen of different opinions in that house, must see that we have had ministers in foreign countries who have done no good, and that foreign ministers have been sent to this country who have done harm."
In these remarks, a strong confirmation of the wisdom of our executive will be found, in the suppression of all but three foreign missions, rendered necessary by peculiar objects that required attention. This sanction is entitled to greater weight from the experience of Mr. Pinckney, whose situation had enabled him from actual observation, to test the accuracy of his opinions. But it, unfortunately, so happened that the measures of the executive, adopted from principle, removed three federalists of distinction, and this is a crime which admits of no atonement!

PARIS, August 21.
The first Consul this day presided in the conservative Senate. He repaired in the forenoon to the palace of the Senate with the second and third consuls. He was accompanied by the ministers, the counsellors of state, presidents of the section of the council who had been chosen creators of government, the secretary of state, the prefect of the palace, the governor-general of the palace, the generals commanding the consular guard, and the inspectors general of the national gendarmerie, the artillery and engineers.
Citizens Joseph & Lucien Bonaparte, members of the grand council of administration of the legion of honor, and in that quality members of the Senate, agreeable to the 62d article of the Senatus Consultum, for organizing the constitution, took the oath before the First Consul in the following words:
"I swear to be faithful to the constitution, and to constantly follow the spirit and principles of it, when I shall be called into the Senate to develop and explain its dispositions, and to defend always the rights and interests of the people and the stability of the government."
All members of the Senate immediately took the same oath. Projects of senatus consultum, discussed according to the 67th article to the senatus consultum for organizing the constitution, in a plenary council, at which were present Talleyrand, minister of foreign affairs; Chaptal, minister of the Interior; Barthelmy, senator; Farquet, do. Regnier, counsellor of state; Portalis, do. Kellerman, member of the Senate, and of the grand council of administration of the legion of honor; and Joseph Bonaparte, member of the grand council of the legion of honor, were proposed to the Senate, and successively presented by orators of the government, viz. project of a senatus consultum in regard to the sitting and ceremonial of the Senate; project of do. in regard to the order in which the five series shall be called to present deputies to the legislative bodies, &c. project of do. in regard to the forms to be pursued in the case of a dissolution of the legislative body; project of do. in regard to the designation of the twenty-four principal towns of the republic, the mayors of which shall be present when the person nominated to succeed the First Consul shall take the oath of fidelity; project of do. for uniting the island of Elba to the territory of the Republic.
The minister of foreign relations then made a report on the arrangements made for carrying into execution the treaty of Luneville, in regard to the indemnities to the princes and states of Germany. After this report the First Consul retired, and the Senate, under the Presidency of the second consul, invested with powers given to him for that purpose by the First Consul, continued the sitting.
The First Consul, conducted back by the Senators with the same ceremonial as before, returned to the palace of government, with the train that accompanied him.
The streets through which he passed were crowded with spectators, and the joy inspired by the presence of the chief of the state, might be read in every countenance, and resounded from every mouth.
Philadelphia, Oct. 21.
On Tuesday evening arrived at this port the ship Amsterdam Packet, Captain Hidelius, in 33 days from Bordeaux, with Paris papers to the 9th of September, from which the following translations have been made for the Philadelphia Gazette.
TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE.
Paris, Aug. 25.
Toussaint Louverture has arrived at Paris; he was brought there in a post chaise, escorted by a numerous detachment of dragoons—he is in the temple.
Bordeaux, Sept. 5.
We learn by letters from Bayonne, the arrival of a corvette coming from Brest, having on board the wife of Toussaint Louverture, two of her children, one of her nieces, and some servants; they went on shore the 2d of September, at ten o'clock in the afternoon.—Mrs. Toussaint was received on the wharf by the mayor of Bayonne, the commander of the troops, with a detachment of grenadiers, and conducted to the hotel of Providence. They are now preparing apartments for her in one of the castles. A sentinel has been placed at the door of the hotel.
September 6.
The Moniteur of the 3d inst. contains
Extratits conflicts; the first regulates the manner the Senate shall be presided and convoked, and how the senatus consultum shall be presented. The second relates to the order in which the five series, that form the grand division of the departments of the Republic, shall present deputies to the legislative body. It is enacted by the third, that the senatus consultum that will pronounce the dissolution of the legislative body or tribunate, shall announce the proposition of the government, the report of a special commission on this matter, and the report that the votes have been received secretly by ballot. The fourth designates the 24 cities, the mayors of which shall be present at the taking of the oath of the citizen appointed to succeed the First Consul; these cities are—Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux, Marseille, Rouen, Nantes, Besançon, Mayence, Angers, Leige, Lille, Toulouse, Strasbourg, Orleans, Versailles, Montpellier, Rennes, Caen, Rheims, Nancy, Amiens, Geneva, Dijon, Nice. By the fifth, the island of Elba is united to the territory of the Republic, and shall send a deputy to the legislative body; which will make the members of this body amount to 301. The sixth, at last, relates to the division of departments of the Republic into five series, and to the order in which they shall be called to present deputies to the legislative body. And after proceeding by lot, the result of the drawing for the five series was in the following order, the 4th, the 3d, the 5th, the 2d, and the 1st.
PARIS, September 3.
The affairs of Germany are on the eve of being terminated. France, Russia, Austria, Prussia and Bavaria agree together. Prussia has taken possession of the States granted her by the plan of the two great mediating powers. Austria has taken possession of Salzburg, Berchtesgaden, Brixen and Trente, granted her likewise by the same plan; her troops were at Passau, before this court had adopted the said plan; but the imperial minister has declared that he took possession of them only to preserve the rights of the bishop of Passau, till the time when the mediating powers of the deputation of the empire would pronounce.
It is asserted that the number of Englishmen now in Paris amounts from ten to twelve thousand, few persons can, doubtless, verify the exactness of this assertion; but certain it is that people of that country abound more and more in the capital. Nevertheless, the London news-papers have not ceased repeating these three months past, that the English cannot stay in Paris more than eight or ten days, because living is too dear there. To know what is to be depended upon, we need only to observe that packets that came from Dover to Calais, have uniformly brought over since the re-establishment of communications, a greater number of passengers, than the packets of Calais have to Dover.
Let it be as it will, the plays, walks, and public gardens of the capital, are resorted to by numbers of Englishmen that we may compute to several thousand the contingent of foreigners furnished us by that nation.
They write us from Brada, that the 27th division of light infantry, in garrison in that town, went out this morning in the greatest order, from that place, to meet the colours brought by a detachment of Paris.
The corps re-entered soon with the utmost order; a noble majesty and warlike music added to the splendor of that solemn ceremony; the detachment of Paris was in the centre of the column; the corps was placed in battle array on the public square; there, the chief of brigade Delfaiz, the commander of the place, has presented each battalion with its colours, in making its brave soldiers remember the promise he had made the First Consul in their name, to carry always in the road of courage and honor these new marks of victory, and to give them up only with life, if ever impious discord should happen to imbue in blood a world restored to peace by the hero of the French nation.
The sacred promise has been repeated from all parts, with the enthusiasm of gratitude and joy, and from all parts have echoed the cries of long live the Republican Government, long live Donaparte.

WASHINGTON CITY.
MONDAY, October 25, 1802.
We learn that the French national Schooner Enfant Prodigue , from Guadalupe, which she left on the 26th of September, has put into New-York for the purpose of delivering dispatches to the address of Mr. Pichon, and that she proceeds immediately to France.
The Colonial Prefect, Mr. Lescallier, had, by an arrete, opened the Colony to foreign vessels. The information received by Mr. Pichon states the Colony to be in want of provisions, and especially salt beef and pork.
General Lacroffe had been installed in the government by General Richpanse, but only temporarily, to assert the power of government. He was to give up the government in a short time to General Richpanse, and to proceed to another destination assigned him in the Colonies; but in consequence of the death of General Richpanse, General Lacroffe retains the government.
Permission had been given to people of colour to return to Guadalupe.
Translation of a letter written by rear admiral Lacroffe, captain general of Guadalupe, to Mr. Pichon. Basse-terre, the 4th Vendemiaire, 11th year, (26 September, 1802.)
I have the honor to inform you, citizen commissary, that by a decision just taken by citizen Lescallier, counselor of state, colonial Prefect at Guadalupe, all the ports of this colony shall in future be open, as formerly, to the American vessels and the exportation of colonial produce permitted on paying duties.
(Signed) LACROSSE.
Translation. In the name of the French Republic. R. Lacroffe, Captain-General of Guadalupe and its dependencies.

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
   For Governor.   Counties. M c Kean. Ross.    Montgomery, 2,103 1,283  Delaware, 606 722  Chester, 2,320 1,928  Luzerne, 274 680  Fayette, 1,990 424  York, 1,364 453  Dauphin, 1,844 309  Northampton, 3,210 519  Berks, 4,240 512  Philadelphia City, 1,943 1,517  Philadelphia Co. } Maj. about 2,000  Lancaster Co. } Majority of 700  22,594 8,343  8,343  Republican Maj. 14,251  
This great majority will be considerably extended by the votes of the counties from which returns have not yet been received. The strength of the federalists is nearly exhausted in the above counties. We have not stated the votes given for each representative to Congress, considering the votes given for governor as a faithful criterion of the relative strength of parties. When, however, we are advised of the entire result, we shall be more minute.
The following representatives in Congress are elected.
REPUBLICAN.  Joseph Clay,  Michael Leib,  Jacob Richards,  R. Brown,  J. Van Horn,  F. Conrad,  Joseph Haffer,  J. Anderson,  J. Whitehill,  John Smith,  John Stewart,  John A. Hanna,  David Bard.-----13. 
It is not ascertained, nor is there a prospect, that a single federalist will be sent to Congress. It is ascertained that Mr. Sitgreaves has failed, notwithstanding the republicans run two candidates against him.
Mr. Fidler and Mr. Painter, both republicans, are candidates for the same seat. The votes received render it doubtful which will be elected.
From appearances, it is not probable that the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania will contain more than 6 federalists. How are the mighty fallen!
NEW JERSEY ELECTION.
The election was held on the second Tuesday of this month, for members of the Legislative Council and General Assembly. Each county elects one member of the Council, and from one to four members of the Assembly. The following is the result of the election.
   COUNCIL. ASSEMBLY.   Repub. Fed. Repub. Fed.    Hunterdon, 1 0 1 3  Mommouth, 1 0 3 0  Essex, 1 0 3 0  Burlington, 0 1 0 4  Cumberland, 1 0 2 0  Gloucester, 0 1 0 3  Bergen, 0 1 0 3  4 3 9 13  
So far the members elected are ascertained. The New-Jersey prints on both sides calculate alike with respect to the remaining counties, which, with the exclusion of Cape May, give equal numbers in the assembly to each. It rests with Cape May, therefore, to determine the political character of that body. In the legislative council, a majority is said to be republican.
Thus it appears, as far as the best information received from New-Jersey goes, that the federal assertions that a majority of the legislature of that state is federal, are unfounded. We mean not, however, by this remark, to pledge ourselves for the accuracy of the foregoing statement.
The legislature of Connecticut convened at New-Haven on Thursday the 14th. In the house of representatives Elizur Goodrich, was chosen Speaker, and Timothy Pitkin and Jonathan O. Moseley, Clerks.
From a London Paper. A considerable number of devotees termed Fakers, principally from Adgrim, lately applied to our government in India for permission to visit the mark of Adam's foot in Ceylon. Unable success-
fully to encounter a superstition almost as general as it would appear extraordinary, if the practice of countries supposed to be more enlightened did not in a degree reconcile us to it, the request has been granted, and the late accounts left this mob of pilgrims on the eve of their departure. There is a tradition that the first man was created on the top of a high mountain in Ceylon, hence called Adam's Pike; and there is the shape of a man's foot cut out of the rock, about six feet in length, which they pretend to be the print of his foot. Near this mountain there is a reef of rocks extending to the continent, called Adam's Bridge; for they say it was made by angels, to carry him over the main land.
New-York, Oct. 20.
As the French prize brig, La Desconverte , lying at the Corporation Dock, at the foot of Parrion Street, was yesterday morning heaving down for examination, she unexpectedly took ahead, filled, and sank. It is supposed that this accident will produce no material injury, and that she will be raised without more than ordinary difficulty.
New-York, Oct. 20.
Capt. Marrener, who came passenger in the brig Sally , arrived yesterday from Martinique, informs us that the French took possession of that island on the 11th September, and were about imposing a duty on all foreign vessels. As the precise amount was not fixed at the time of captain M's. departure, he was obliged to give security for the payment thereof when that point should be determined. The port charges were considerably lessened.
On his passage to New-York, captain M. spoke the Schooner Edward , Swain, of Baltimore, which failed some time after the Sally , and was informed that St. Pierre's had been proclaimed the only port of entry; and that the duty was fixed at two per cent. on the sales, and seven per cent. on the purchase of colonial produce.
Capt. Marrener, to whom we are indebted for the following proclamation, informs us, that the new laws relative to the duties payable in the island of Martinique, limit the port charges at 21 dollars, and a duty of 2 per cent. on all sales, and 7 per cent. on the purchase of colonial produce. A number of American vessels there with beef and pork, were not permitted to land their cargoes when Capt. M. failed. It was not known how long this prohibition would continue; but the government had ordered an enquiry of the quantities of every species of provisions that would be wanted, and, from the scarcity, it was expected that Americans would soon be permitted to dispose of their cargoes.
PROCLAMATION.
Of Admiral Villaret Joyeuse, Captain-General of Martinique and St. Lucia.
FRENCHMEN,
War and dissensions have separated you from the mother country—peace restores you again to her bosom.
The French government maintains the ancient laws made for the happiness of the colonies, protects the religion of your fathers; guarantees the integrity of property, and preserves slavery; which made a part of ancient colonial possession. After having conquered and given peace to the world, it wishes the happiness & tranquility of the nation, by allaying hatred, and binding up the wounds which parties have made. After having combattd armies, it supports altars, and re-establishes christianity.
Wretched shall those be who shall dare to disturb the social order established in the colonies; who shall cherish suspicions with regard to the intentions of the mother country. The sword of justice will soon be unsheathed to punish, out far be it from our wish to find any one culpable.—Our first care shall be to prevent the commission of such crimes, by the most watchful vigilance; and our strongest solicitude shall be to add to the happiness of the colony, by justice, and an equitable administration. Your souls long to be united again to Frenchmen: ten years of glory have effaced the misfortunes of the revolution. The 18 Brumaire, and the treaty of Amiens, have fixed the destiny and the grandeur of France. The hero who governs—who makes the happiness of the colonies his, by making commerce to revive and flourish: astonished posterity is yet not decided concerning him; but without doubt will make him the greatest of men.
The Captain General, VILLARET JOYEUSE.
[By an arrete of Bonaparte, dated
the 8th Floreal, 10th year, the following names of places in Martinique, St. Lucia and Tobago, are ordered to be changed.
The fort called royal, at Martinique, shall take the name of Fort de France.
