Fifteen Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY on Saturday, the 5th of this month, a bright Molatto Man, named STEPHEN; about 28 or 30 years of age: He is about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, pleasant coun- tenance, speaks rather slow, but very active and handy at any work; he served an apprenticeship to a weaver, is a good workman at that busi- ness, and a remarkable good hand in a brick- yard; in short, he is smart at any thing he is set about; he is very fond of spirits of any kind. I cannot describe his dress. He never ran away before, so I expect he has been enticed off by some artful villain; if it be the case, and the man can be apprehended, I will give 50 Dollars on his conviction of the theft.

Something for Don Camillus, Humbly submitted to his publisher as a suitable introduction to the next edition of his letters on Louisiana.
The following extract from a speech of the late Lord CHATHAM, delivered in the British House of Lords, in the year 1770, is so strikingly applicable to the present situation of this country, and so accurately descriptive of the conduct of Spain in regard to our right of deposit on the banks of the Mississippi, that we presume the publication of it will not be unacceptable to our readers. As a specimen of eloquence, and sound political reasoning, the extract cannot fail to be interesting; but as exhibiting a portrait of the general character and conduct of the Spanish government, drawn by so able a master as the late celebrated WILLIAM PITT, it must be considered as a document of the highest authenticity and importance.
The discussion in which this speech was delivered was produced by a motion made by the Duke of RICHMOND, to present to his Majesty an address, requesting that he would be pleased to give orders that there be laid before the House copies or extracts of all letters and papers received by the ministry between the 12th September 1769 and the 12th Sept. 1770, containing any intelligence of hostilities commenced by the court of Spain, or any of their officers, against any of his Majesty's dominions &c.
This motion was occasioned by an account that the Spaniards had seized upon Falklands' Islands.
The motion was opposed upon the general ground of the impropriety of calling for such papers while the matter in question was the subject of a negotiation with the Spanish ambassador. Gaz. U. S.
Lord Chatham, after some introductory remarks, said: "The noble Lord [Lord Hillsborough] talks of Spanish punctilios in the lofty style and idiom of a Spaniard. We are to be wonderfully tender of the Spanish point of honor, as if THEY had been the complainants, as if THEY had received the injury. I think he would have done better to have told us, what care had been taken of the English honor. My Lords, I am well acquainted with the character of that nation, at least as far as it is represented by their court and ministry, and I should think this country dishonored by a comparison of the English good faith with the punctilios of a Spaniard.***** The Spaniards are as mean and crafty as they are proud and insolent.*****With their ministers I have often been obliged to negotiate, and never met with an instance of candour or dignity in their proceedings, nothing but low cunning, trick and artifice. After a long experience of their want of candour and good faith, I found myself compelled to talk to them in a peremptory, decisive language. On this principle I submitted my advice to a trembling council for an immediate declaration of war with Spain. We are not in that situation in which a great and powerful nation is permitted to negotiate. A foreign power has forcibly robbed his Majesty of a part of his dominions. Is the island restored? Are you replaced in statu quo? If that had been done, it might then perhaps have been justifiable to treat with the aggressor upon the satisfaction he ought to make for the insult offered to the crown of England. But will you descend so low? Will you so shamefully betray the King's honor, as to make it matter of negotiation whether his Majesty's possessions shall be restored to him or not?"
Pages 67 and 68.*
Great pains were at that time taken in England, as are now taken here, to persuade the people that the Spanish aggression was an unauthorised act of a subordinate officer. Upon this point Lord Chatham speaks thus.
"Certainly, my Lords, there never was an odious, a more infamous falsehood imposed on a great nation. It degrades the King's honor. It is an insult to Parliament. I beg your Lordship's attention, and I hope I shall be under-
*We quote from the II. volume of "Anecdotes of the Life of the Right Hon. William Pitt, Earl of Chatham and of the Principal events of his time, with his speeches in Parliament" &c. The Dublin Edition Octavo.
stood, when I repeat, that the court of Spain having disavowed the act of their governor, is an absolute, a palpable falsehood. Let me ask, my Lords, when the first communication was made by the court of Madrid, of their being apprised of their taking of Falkland's Islands—was it accompanied with an offer of instant restitution, of immediate satisfaction, and the punishment of the Spanish Governor? If it was not, they have adopted the act as their own, and, the very mention of a disavowal is an impudent insult offered to the King's dignity. The King of Spain disowns the thief, while he leaves him unpunished, and profits by the theft: In vulgar English, he is the receiver of stolen goods, and ought to be treated accordingly.
"My Lords, the pretended disavowal by the court of Spain is as ridiculous as it is false. If your Lordships want any other proof, call for your own officers, who were stationed at Falkland's Island. Ask the officer who commanded the garrison, whether, when he was summoned to surrender, the demand was made in the name of the Governor of Buenos Ayres, or of his Catholic Majesty? Was the island said to belong to Don Francisco Bucarelli, or to the King of Spain?"
Pages 69 and 70.
Farther on, speaking of the probable result of negotiation, he says:
"I very well know where this honorable negotiation will end: where it must end. We may, perhaps, be able to patch up an accommodation for the present, but we shall have a Spanish war.*****Some of your Lordships may, perhaps, remember the convention. For several successive years our merchants had been plundered—no protection given them—no redress obtained for them; during all that time we were contented to complain and to negotiate; the court of Madrid were then ready to disown their officers, and as unwilling to punish them as at present.—Whatever violence happened was always laid to the charge of one or the other of their West India Governors. To-day it was the Governor of Cuba; to-morrow of Porto Rico, Carthagena, or Poto Bello. If, in a particular instance redress was promised, how was that promise kept? The merchant, who had been robbed of his property, was sent for a compensation to the West Indies, to get it, if he could, out of an empty chest."
Page 72.
We beg leave to recommend the following passage, to the particular attention of our government and of those who exalt the late measures of our administration, and attempt to excite an odium in the public mind against the minority in Congress who laboured to procure the adoption of such measures as would secure the rights and honour of the nation.
"From what I have said, my Lords, I do not doubt but it will be understood by many Lords, and given out to the public, that I am for hurrying the nation, at all events, into a war with Spain.—My Lords, I disclaim such counsels.—Let us have peace, my Lords, but let it be honourable, let it be secure. A patched up peace will not do. I distinguish widely between a solid peace, and the disgraceful expedients by which a war may be deferred, but cannot be avoided.
"My Lords, I have better reasons, perhaps than many of your Lordships for desiring a peace upon the terms I have described. I know the strength and preparation of the house of Bourbon; I know the defenceless, unprepared condition of this country. I know not by what mismanagement we are reduced to this situation; and when I consider who are the men by whom a war, in the outset at least, must be conducted, can I but wish for peace? Let them not screen themselves behind the want of intelligence—they had intelligence: I know they had. If they had not, they are criminal; and their excuse is their crime. But I will tell these young ministers the true source of intelligence. It is sagacity. Sagacity to compare causes and effects; to judge of the present state of things, and discern the future by a careful review of the past. OLIVER CROMWELL, who astonished mankind by his intelligence, did not derive it from spies in the cabinet of every prince in Europe; he drew it from the cabinet of his own sagacious mind. He observed facts and traced them forward to their consequences. From what was, he concluded what must be, and he never was deceived."
Page 73.
These extracts constitute but a small part of the speech, the whole of which is highly deserving the attention of our countrymen at the present crisis. So accurately descriptive is it of the present situation of the United States and Spain, that with very little alteration more than of dates and names the whole might with propriety, have been delivered in the Senate of the United States upon the discussion of M c Ross's resolutions.
"The time is not yet come, tho' near at hand when it will be prudent and proper to expose the insidious attempts of our enemies, and wavering disposition of our former friends."
Aurora 13th April.
"The time is not yet come." We had indulged the belief, that this time had long since come, and that the arts and machinations of the opposers of Jacobinism were fully laid open. What discovery can take place which has not been made? Has it not been discovered and proved, that all the men who composed the late administration were "old tories," who had for years been plotting the ruin of the republic, and robbing the people of their money? Has it not long since been discovered and proved, that Geo. Washington was a vile "old tory," who not only cheated the people out of much money, but absolutely committed murder; & was he not long since held up to public execration as a swindler and a murderer? Has it not been proved, that JOHN ADAMS, another "old tory," formed a plan, and nearly carried it into execution, to destroy our government, and to introduce monarchy in its stead?—Has it not been proved that he wrote to King George of England to obtain consent, that one of his (Mr. A's) sons might marry one of the Royal family of Eng. that he might be made king in America? And was it not every where believed that Mr. Adams wrote his defence of our republican government merely for the more effectual concealment of his nefarious design? Was not TIMOTHY PICKERING always an "old tory" and did he not get detected in robbing the United States of immense sums of money, and thereby making himself one of the richest men in all this country? and then to conceal all his wealth, did he not pretend to be very poor, and go into the back parts of this state, and subject himself to all the inconveniences and distresses of a wilderness, and thence labor with his own hands, and obtain his meat by the sweat of his brow? Was it not fully proved, that SAMUEL DEXTER and OLIVER WOLCOTT set fire to the public offices to stop an investigation into their accounts, and to prevent the people from knowing how much money they had fraudulently obtained? But their plan having failed, did not their accounts, being saved from the flames, fully show the knavery of the men, & the atrocity of the attempts to hide their frauds by turning incendiaris. All these things having been long since proved, surely nothing more can be required to stamp eternal disgrace on the last administration.—Every man who is not plunged into the current of popular phrensy is, no doubt an "OLD TORY," and an enemy to our revolution, and to the constitution. Should Governor M c Kean refuse his approbation to a few more bills which shall be passed by the Pennsylvania legislature, he too will be a most dreadful "OLD TORY." What more can be necessary for the destruction of public men? Are further arts and intrigues to be laid open and proved? Has not enough been done and said; and shall not retirement and the grave screen their tenants from the all destructive effects of such "damning proofs?"

We have heard from East Haven, Branford, Guilford, and Hamden. In Hamden, the democratic ticket prevailed; but in the other three towns, the federal ticket was carried by very large majorities. In Branford, it stood at 200 for the federal, and 75 for the democratic. Last fall session this town sent a democratic representative—so much for the festival scrape.—Visitor.
NEW-YORK, April 15.
Important!
Captain Strangman of the Schooner Eliza, on his passage from Savannah to New York, was cast away at Cape Hatteras on 6th January last. He remained there until the 18th February following, during all which time there was no light in the light house at that place. This is important to the Mercantile interest, as well as to Mariners, as, during the time he remained at Cape Hatteras eleven vessels were cast away there, many of which in his opinion might have been saved, had there been any lights to warn them of their danger. Those whose duty it is to correct this evil, are requested to notice this information, and the different printers in the United States are requested to republish it for the benefit of the public. Captain Strangman further reports, that although there is a capital light house at Cape Hatteras with lamps and wick, yet there was no oil while he was there to fill the lamps.

By the brig Hound, captain Fuller, from Cape Francois, we learn that on the 18th of March Gen. Rochambeau embarked from the Cape for Port Republican, which had become the seat of Government. A fleet consisting of six ships of the line and a number of transports, said to have on board a reinforcement of 15,000 troops, arrived at the Cape on the 25th, and was immediately ordered for Port Republican. No engagement had taken place since the 19th Feb. though the brigands were embodied within 18 miles of the Cape. The command there had devolved upon Gen. Clausel, who has between 2 and 3000 men under him. Business very dull. Flour 18 dollars, pork 18, beef 16 to 17 per barrel.

NORFOLK, April 15.
A Gentleman of veracity who has been lately at Williamsburg, informs us, that on the first of April, some youths of that place perpetrated some of the most wicked acts that human imagination could invent. A party of them broke into the church, played on the organ for near two hours, and then went to the church yard, dug up the body of a female that had been buried for many months, took it from the coffin, and placed it on the floor of an empty house, in a situation too shocking to describe!!! The coffin being found led to a discovery! It surely could not be any of the Students of William and Mary College, for it is impossible, one would imagine, that they would attempt so atrocious and villainous an act under the eyes of their Protectors. Certainly that College must be under better moral government; yet, we are told, that strong suspicions lurk towards that seminary. It is an old saying, "give a dog a bad name and hang him;" it will therefore behove the governors of that institution to endeavor, by all means to

discover the offenders, bring them to justice, and relieve the College from the reproach that will otherwise attach itself. It is the duty of every parent & guardian, who have youths educating there, to probe the matter to the quick; for if the rules and regulations at William and Mary cannot keep its students within the pale of decency, then education will rather be a curse than a blessing to them. We are sorry for the honor of human nature, that there exists beings, capable of so vile an act; and sincerely hope, that when discovered, their names will not be found enrolled on the College books, but that it is the act of some wicked boys, who have never had the advantage of being instructed to know better. When we have the particulars, we shall not hesitate to lay the names of the actors in the scene, up to public view.
RICHMOND, April 14.
On Thursday last, about six o'clock in the morning a duel took place between Mr. Wyndham Grymes and Mr. Terrell, two young gentlemen of this city, engaged in the study of the law. There were two discharges of pistols, and upon the second fire, Mr. Grymes received a ball in the groin, which it is apprehended will prove mortal. We regret very much the fate of Mr. Grymes, who is a young man generally beloved. We are in hopes that this melancholy catastrophe will tend to restore this city to more tranquillity than we have experienced for a considerable time past.

ORDINANCE
Of his Danish Majesty, defining what is to be observed by American vessels in regard to Quarantine Regulations. His Majesty the King has most graciously ordered by his mandate of the 22d of October last, that whenever any accounts are received of the existence of the yellow fever in the United States of America, or when no particular advice is received to the contrary from the Minister resident there, all American vessels which are not provided with health certificates, from the beginning of the month of July, until the end of the year, are to submit to certain quarantine regulations, and even if they are provided with such certificates, these vessels are still prohibited to communicate with the shore, before they have been visited by the appointed health physician, and if he was the least suspicious, then the vessel must be dealt with accordingly: In conformity to which no American vessel, during such a time shall be piloted, except having hoisted the green flag.
Which gracious command is hereby published for the regulation of every concerned.—Given in the Danish Royal Chancery on the 5th Nov. 1802.
Extract of an ordinance concerning Quarantine Regulations and Rules to be observed by Navigators, who touch at the Ports or Coasts of the Royal Danish Dominions, dated at Copenhagen
14th Nov. 1800.
1. Every vessel belonging to our own Dominions shall have a green flag on board to be used as prescribed hereafter.
2. Whenever a vessel arrives from a place where there has been any contagion and in all other cases of suspicion, such as having been visited by any vessels from the Barbary coast, having bales of merchandise on board from suspected places, and having not undergone a quarantine since in any other place; or having had any virulent sickness on board during the voyage, then the green flag shall be hoisted at the head of the main mast, before any communication is had with any person whatever from the shore, and before anchor is cast.
3. The commander of any vessel offending against these orders, shall pay a fine of five hundred Rix Dollars, if no dangerous consequences ensue from his misconduct; but if otherwise he shall be punished with twelve years labor in the fortifications, and should any malicious intent be proved upon him, he shall labor in irons during his life. Any vessel having had communication with another vessel that is suspicious, shall be subject to the same regulations and restrictions.
7. Should such a vessel be under the necessity of immediate communication with the shore, she must hoist her own national colours from topmast, or under the green flag if she has no fore mast.
8. Upon hoisting the colours on the foretop, the signal for a pilot, the pilot shall immediately go on board, but not leave ship board until the health physician has visited her; and for every day that the pilot is detained he shall receive one Rix dollar.
9. To prevent unnecessary delays to such vessels as are arrived from places that might be suspected, (such as the Mediterranean or the West Indies,) but still are perfectly secure and free from contagion, not having been at any infected place, nor having any suspected merchandise on board, and not having had communication with any vessel which could be suspected, nor had any one sick or dead during the voyage—We do order that for such cases all pilots shall be provided with blanks as hereafter written, which the captain and mate of such vessel shall sign, viz.
Underwritten N. N. commander of the ship N. arrived from N. and N. N. mate of the said vessel, declare, to their certain knowledge, that neither any of the ship's crew or any other person, nor any merchandise or any thing of whatever kind on board of the said vessel has not been visited by any cruisers from the African coast or the levant and had none dead or sick with an infectious disease during the voyage.
As true help us God and his holy word.
And if this disposition should be found false, we subject ourselves to be dealt with according to the law of the land.
10. Blanks of this deposition shall be printed in different languages, for the use of foreign vessels that might be subject to the quarantine regulations.
As foreign vessels may not always be provided with a green flag, the pilots are bound to have one continually in readiness to be hoisted in aforementioned cases—If the green flag has been used longer than for one day, the pilot shall receive two Rix dollars for the same, but the vessel may keep it.
Capt. Cole, from the River Plata, informs, that he left that place on the 24th January, at which time no intelligence had been received from Madrid of the fate of the remonstrance of the American Captains and Agents detained at that place; and that things remained the same.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New Haven, to the Editor, of the N. York Evening Post, dated April 13, 1802.
DEAR SIR, "From accounts received, I am able to assure you that at our election for Governor, &c. which took place on Monday last, the Federalists have obtained an honorable and glorious victory. All the arts of jacobinism have been employed against us, but without effect. Gov. Trumbull has obtained more votes than ever before, and many more than the most sanguine of the federalists had predicted. We calculate on a diminution of their number, in the House of Represen-
tatives one third. Is not Connecticut entitled to high commendation for her noble and successful resistance against the demoralizing and destructive systems of Jacobinism?"
INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY.
The following is an extract of a letter written by Mr. Jefferson to Judge Wythe of Virginia, in 1776, at the time when the constitution of that state was forming:
The dignity and stability of government in all its branches, the morals of the people, and every blessing of society, depend so much upon an upright and skillful administration of justice, that the judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that. The Judges, therefore, should always be men of learning, and experience in the laws, of exemplary morals, great patience, calmness, coolness, and attention; their minds should not be distracted with jarring interest; they should not be dependent upon any man, or body of men. To these ends they should hold estates for life in their offices or, in other words, their commissions should be during good behaviour, and their salaries, ascertained and established by law.
"For misbehaviour, the grand inquest of the colony, the house of representatives, should impeach them before the governor and council, when they should have time and opportunity to make their defence, but if CONVICTED, should be REMOVED from their offices, and subjected to such other punishment as shall be thought proper.
SHORT LESSONS
Selected from the advice of Isocrates to his young friend and pupil Demoncus; and communicated for the Balance.
"AS to your behavior, be affable and easy of access, and let your language be courteous and civil.
Let not your wits be too frequent to the same persons, nor your discourse too long on the same subjects, for there's a satiety in all things.
Ensure yourself to voluntary labor, that you may be the better able to undergo what necessity shall lay upon you.
Be no less exact in keeping the secrets entrusted to you, than you would be faithful in reference to deposits of the greatest value.
Never reveal your secrets to any, except it is as much their interest to keep them as it is yours, that they should be kept.
Never contract a friendship with any body, till you have first examined how he behaved himself to his former friends; for you will have good reason to hope that he will be the same to you, as he was to them.
In trying friends, communicate things to them as secrets, which are not so; by which means you will receive no damage from their infidelity, if they are false; and if they are faithful, you will thereby discover their integrity.
You may make a trial of friends in the misfortunes which attend life, and by their sharing in your dangers; for as we try gold by the fire, so we distinguish our friends by adversity.
You will discharge yourself best of your duty to your friends, if you do not wait till they apply to you; but freely, and of your own accord relieve and assist them when occasion requires.
Think it as dishonorable to be outdone by your friends in good offices, as to be overcome and overawed by the malice and evil practices of your enemies.
Speak kindly of your absent friends, to those who are present, that they may not think you are unmindful of themselves, when they are absent."

There was a strong struggle yesterday between the Bulls and the Bears at the Stock Exchange. The latter carried their point before the close of the market, by reports, which others were credulous enough to believe, that there was a misunderstanding in the Cabinet, and that Mr. Addington was to be removed. The stocks fell about one per cent.
The same gambling has continued this morning, and the same kind of idle rumours, but with additional and more precise particulars. It is now said certain new arrangements were made yesterday at the Privy Council, and that an important Message will be sent to the Parliament this evening!! By such reports the Stocks were rather depressed. At one o'clock the Omnium was as low as 6 5 3/4 discount, and the 3 per Cents. at 69 3/4.
HAGUE, March 4.
Last Tuesday an Adjutant of General Victor arrived here, bringing intelligence that it is finally settled that Gen. Berthier will not repair to his late destination in Germany, but that he will hold his first appointment in quality of Chief of the General Staff of the Louisiana expedition. This has proved very agreeable intelligence to all who belong to this expedition.
It is now asserted, that the French Minister of Marine has issued orders for the sailing of this fleet on the 1st Germinal (March 22.)
ANECDOTE.
A certain newly created justice of the peace rather too much elevated with the dignity of his office, riding out one day with his attendant met a clergyman, finely mounted on a handsome gelding, richly caparisoned. When he first saw him, he desired his attendant to take notice how he would smoke the parson. He accordingly rode up to him, and accosted him as follows—"Sir your servant: I think Sir, your are mounted on a very handsome horse." "Yes, Sir, I thank you tolerably fleshy." "But what is the reason, (says the justice,) you do not follow the example of your worthy master, who was humble enough to ride to Jerusalem on an Ass?" "Why to tell you the truth, (says the clergyman,) government have made so many Asses Justices lately that an honest Clergyman can't find one to ride on." (Troy Gaz.)
