HAGUE, May 28.
Our Republic begins to assume a new complexion; there is more in it at present which resembles the old rather than the new order of things. The departmental governments smell a little of the provincial governments; each one seems to be more master on his own ground than for some months past; decent equality is again introduced; the citizens are returning to their appropriate classes; Magistrates, accustomed to rule, and who learnt to do so from experience—even old magistrates, are raised to their former state of elevation; escutcheons, with all their quarters, are again exhibited to view; liveries once more adorn the backs of menials; seats of distinction for great men are again erected in the churches and play-houses; the ecclesiastics are on the point of re-assuming the gown and band; the people are confined to their religion and their daily labor; the reactory, in all practical cases, are sent out of the country; all animosities of party are exteriorly abolished; the hand of fraternity is extended to our ancient ally Great Britain; amity and peace are established with the House of Orange; orange is the fashionable colour; orange handkerchiefs, orange ribbons, orange gloves, are the ornaments, as in times of old—and many other recent changes strike the impartial spectator with astonishment, and leave him ample field for conjecture.
PARIS, May 26.
The Colony of St. Domingo, which has been so long in a state of disorder, is about to return to its former prosperity. Its commerce has for several years been subject to no regulations. The French nation, to whom it may have been said to belong exclusively, did not send a single ship to it. It is necessary that the antient order should be re-established; but it must be restored gradually. It is proper to assign to the national and to foreign commerce their respective parts, but to do so as to take suddenly from the one all that has been unfortunately given up to it, and to restore it to the other. We must await the return of our antient habits. Our Manufacturers and Artists have yet to perfect their productions. The communication with England has removed some old wants and created some new ones. Articles necessary to the manufacture of the colonial productions must be procured. May not the English have introduced into St. Domingo some new processes of real utility, or, during their stay in the Island, perfected their knowledge in several points of cultivation and manufacture?—Moniteur.
General Leclerc has published an arrête, which is perfectly adapted to the present circumstances. It neither takes every thing from foreigners nor gives every thing to the French. But a deduction of one half granted to the latter are the import duties, which is an encouragement that, will doubtless have very decided effects.
LONDON, May 30.
General Murat is arrived at Nice from Naples. Accounts from that city state, that the whole of Eastern Italy is threatened with absolute death, which is to be ascribed to the excessive dryness of the season.
The emigrants are pouring into France from all quarters of Europe.
We are pleased to notice that overtures have been made during the week from Bonaparte to our government, relative to the settling of a Commercial Treaty between the two nations; and are assured that arrangements are making to carry the same into effect. By this it should appear the Grand Consul is desirous of maintaining that peace the wisdom of his councils and that of St. James's has so happily brought about. Commercial commissioners will soon be appointed.

Letters from Liverpool say that the trade of that place is totally at a stand in consequence of the unsettled state of the West India Islands, and should not a new source of trade be shortly opened to the merchants, the most distressing consequences are likely to result. During the war Liverpool increased in wealth, and
in population nearly a third, but is likely to be reduced a double proportion by the peace.
On Wednesday an express arrived at the Earl of Londsdale's house, in Charles street Berkley square, from Comberland, with intelligence that his lordship died on Sunday night, after eight days severe illness, of a bowel complaint, with which he has long been afflicted.
It appears by accounts from the Mediterranean, that a rebellion lately broke out in the Empire of Morocco, against the Emperor, and the insurgents were headed by the Emperor's nephew, who has however been defeated, with great loss. The particulars of the battle are contained in the following extract of a private letter:
"Tangiers, May 19. We have this day received intelligence of an action having taken place between the Emperor of Morocco, and his nephew, in which the latter has been completely defeated with great loss; it is already known that there are 8000 killed, 2400 taken prisoners, besides an immense number wounded.—The Emperor speaks in the highest terms of the very great assistance he received from an officer who arrived at the camp the night before the action and requested the Emperor to accept his services. He had the command of a squadron of horse, and contributed in a great measure to defeat the enemy. It is expected that this week will put an end to the war as ambassadors are now going from the Emperor in answer to terms proposed by the nephew. We learn that the officer who distinguished himself so much belongs to the city of London Light Horse and that he is deputed from some of the principal merchants in that city, to procure the release of two ships detained by the Emperor of Morocco. We are happy to find, that in consequence of his great services on the occasion the Emperor has lent a favorable ear to the object of his mission. The Emperor has already conferred some distinguished honors upon him."
Extract of a private letter from Paris, May 27.
"However the general wish may be for the prolongation for life of Buonaparte's Consulate, the people do not appear eager (at least at present) to repair to the Notaries, where the registers are deposited, in order to sign them. One of the Notaries, in the most frequented part of Paris, had only received yesterday which was the sixth day after the opening of the Registers, nine signatures; of those nine, there were only four who added a wish that Bonaparte should nominate a successor; a fifth expressed a desire that the consulate should be hereditary. This tardiness in signing the registers is attributable to a variety of causes."
June 3.
We last night received Paris Journals to the 31st ult. Their contents are by no means interesting. We have, however, made some few extracts, rather to prove the truth of our assertion, than as a display of importance. The insurrectional movements in the Valais are not yet entirely reduced. The cold has this season been as excessive in Germany as in Great Britain; the snow in several places was one foot thick, and some trees were broken down with its weight. A plan of a constitution for Switzerland has been presented to the Notables by the Committee of Berne. The Tiers Consolide are at 55f. 60c.
A private letter from Paris, dated 30th May, and received by yesterday's Mail, contains the following passages:—The Hereditary Prince of Orange is gone to London; he was well received on his arrival here; but a viüble coolness took place, shortly after, between him and Bonaparte. It is variously accounted for; but the following is whispered to be the real cause:—Bonaparte, it is said, held out some distant hopes to the young Prince, that he might, one day, be restored to a certain and considerable portion of his birth-right; and it is well known, that within these two months, emissaries have been dispatched from Paris to the different States of Holland, for the express purpose of feeling the pulse of the Batavians, and of recommending Schimmelpenninck to them, as a Chief Magistrate, under the style and title of First Consul, Bonaparte reserving to himself the office of Vice-Consul over him. It is thought here that the Prince is gone to London, in order to solicit, once more, the interference of that government in his favor!!!
June 4.
Letters from Constantinople, of the 30th
of April, state, that the Bays deposed by the Porte, who fled to Upper Egypt, are in open insurrection against the Grand Vizier. They insist upon being reinstated in their former authority. The British Generals are said to have declared, that they will by no means interfere in this matter, nor afford any protection to the refractory Bays. The Turkish commander, Osman Effendi, was on his march against the insurgents when these accounts came away, with a considerable body of troops, which the Grand Vizier had ordered to be re-enforced by detachments of fresh troops, who are to form an army of reserver. This situation of affair causes much discontent at Constantinople.
The insolence and cruelty of the Barbary States have long been a subject of regret. The Maria, Barber from London and Leghorn for Naples, has been taken by some pirates in the Mediterranean, who after having murdered all the crew, plundered the vessel and cut her masts away the last left her. The vessel has since been towed into Leghorn by some boats.
June 5.
The Minister of the Interior, has addressed a letter to the department of the North, in which he holds out the prospect of a vast importation from Dantzic, Amsterdam, and the North American States.
A private letter from Paris, says, that Monge, the Senator, a few days since, conversing with Bonaparte about the Concordat, the former observed, that he did not think it was apropos to have had the Bishop of Aix to preach at Notre Dame on Easter Day, as he was so well known to the people, on account of certain anecdotes not much to the credit of his morals! Monge was making still stronger observations on the proceedings of that day. Bonaparte said, is it thus you mean to talk of the acts of government when you visit the departments? (he was going in the country). 'I never talk about government, (said Monge) but to you.' 'Then, says Bonaparte, this shall be the last time you ever talk to me.' Monge was formerly his bosom friend.
CONSPIRACY
Against the life of Bonaparte.
A private letter from Paris, dated May 24, observes, "that it is quite certain that there existed a conspiracy to assassinate Bonaparte. Fournier, and a grenadier, of the name of Donadieu, were charged with carrying it into execution. But Bonaparte had timely information of the plan, Fournier has been examined, but has not confessed any thing. He has been promised pardon if he would develop the whole of the plan; he has refused, and demands to be brought to his trial—he has been conducted to the Temple—such is the state of this affair. Fournier passes for a most determined man and dangerous character."
"Bonaparte is reported to have said to some one, that within these few days one hundred and fifty grenadiers of the guard had demanded their dismissal. As the situation of grenadier of the guard is very advantageous, we can only attribute this proceeding to the discontent which has been endeavoured to be spread among them. It appears that commands have been given to almost all the Generals who are now at Paris, and they are for the most part on the point of departing.—Within these two days disturbances have taken place in certain parts of the city on account of the high price of bread. Several bakers were without a supply of that article; abundance is restored, and we know not how to account for the momentary scarcity. The most likely cause is the discontent of the bakers themselves, who averse to the government charging itself, as formerly, with the distribution of it in Paris; it appears that things are established on the same footing as before the revolution. The inquietude which has prevailed, is also attributed to the secret manoeuvres to excite discontent among the people, at the moment of voting for the prolongation of the Consulate. We are assured that some of the country people have refused to vote till the bread is cheaper. It is dreadful dear in Paris and in the environs. The numbers of persons in Paris who have signed their names with the Notaries is very limited. There is not a notary whose list exceeds 15 persons and of those there is a greater proportion, of CI-DEVANT Nobles than of other classes. The people appear very indifferent upon the subject. In Provence the signatures have been infinitely more considerable."
Extract of a letter from Paris, May 20. "There has not been as yet any thin
published, either officially or otherwise, respecting the reported conspiracy of the 5th of May. All that is certainly known on the subject is, that no less than twenty of the French Generals are either in confinement or in exile. Angereau and Massena were conducted three days since, to the Castle of Vincennes, which, you must recollect, was an ancient state prison, about a league from Paris. The task of mounting guard at the Thuilleries is at present performed by the Corps des Guides who were never before called to that duty. These are a body of men, brave to desperation, who accompanied Bonaparte both in Italy & Egypt, and whom, by his largesses, he was greatly attached to his person.
The Grenadiers of the Consular Guard, who before discharged this duty at the Palace, are still at the barracks of Courbevoie and Ruelle, two leagues from Paris, to which places they were sent on the 5th instant. It is supposed that they will not be recalled previously to the arrival of 1500 chosen men whom the Italian Republic is about to send as a guard of honor to its President."

At a meeting of the Trustees of the Linen and Hemp Manufactures of Ireland, on Monday, the 25th of January, 1802.
Hon. WILLIAM SKEFFINGTON, in the Chair.
The Board proceeded to take into consideration the report from the Committee appointed "To enquire into the cause of the injury lately done to Linens, and whether the same be attributed to any new mode of Bleaching, and whether it be expedient to prohibit the further use of the Detergent Salt."
And the board having considered the same, agreed to the report.
The board having then proceeded to take into consideration that part of the foregoing Report which relates to the means recommended for maintaining the foreign credit of the Irish Linen Trade,
Resolved,
"That in order to support the credit of the Irish Linen in foreign markets, this board will pay the freight & insurance of all Linen sealed by any seal master in Ireland, which shall be returned and adjudged by a jury, in a summary way, according to the Linen law, to be unfound, tender or fraudulent, and to make reparation for any loss sustained thereby, out of the fines they may levy on the seal-master."
Ordered,
"That the foregoing resolution be communicated to the American Consul, and all persons concerned in the American Trade."

TUESDAY, AUGUST 10.
For some time past it has been the con-stant aim of Democratic Editors to impres-sion that they wish to restore to "soci-ety that harmony without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things." That no one deprecates, more than the Ed-itor of this paper, the political divisions which now and for some time have infest-ed our country; he hesitates not to aver, and that no one would more sincerely re-joice at "a union of all honest men" he is likewise ready to declare—but to suffer the present rulers to enjoy their ill gotten power without comment upon their actions, be they ever so destructive in their tenden-cy, is what I never will do so long as I have a pair of scissors to cut a paragraph from another paper, a friend who will fur-nish me, or a pen to scribble one myself.
I beg the particular attention of the friends of good government to the vile tricks those Editors thus endeavor to play off on
them—their professions are as "a tinkling cymbal or sounding brass"—they no more wish to conciliate harmony than Satan does to make us all good christians; it is about as much their interest to do the one, as it is his to do the other.
"Every friend of humanity must de-plore the repeated attempts to renew those scenes of distraction and political fu-ry of which our country has so recently experienced the baneful effects, and to cause bleed afresh the wounds inflicted by par-ty rancour upon social happiness and na-tional honor. If this spirit is not repress-ed by the virtuous, liberal and enlightened, long may posterity lament the indifcrimi-nate sacrifice at the altar of party, of personal reputation, talents and integrity, and perhaps the prostration of their dearest rights, at the shrines of ambition and anarchy.
"It was an opinion of Montesquieu, that its energy can be exerted by a demo-cratic than any other form of govern-ment:—if this sentiment be correct, the greater necessity must exist for the support of the people to the representatives of their own choice. In a free state the existence of party is perhaps necessary for the secu-rity of liberty, but this party spirit to be serviceable must be tempered with mode-ration and must not be extended beyond the political walks of the public function-aries it affails. Whenever it degenerates to faction, malevolence and calumny are the weapons it employs, the fountains of po-litical happiness are poisoned, virtue and vice are deprived of their distinctions, and men are only estimated by their clamorous maledictions of their opponents.
"We are blessed with a government of our own choice; the men who admini-ster it have received evidences of the con-fidence of a large majority of the people. Respect for the opinions, wishes and feel-ings of so great a body of their fellow ci-tizens, we should suppose would alone be sufficient to induce the enemies of the administration to confine their opposition to those limits which decency and a common regard to the usages of civilized society would prescribe. The vulgarity of expression, and indecency of abuse in-dicative of the want of education and talent, with which the columns of what are termed the Federal papers are constant-ly crowded, must exhibit to the world but a poor specimen of the taste of the Ame-rican people.
"The patriot who rejoices in the happi-ness of his fellow creatures, the scholar who values the literary reputation of his country, the friend of religion who wishes the cultivation of benevolent principles and sound morality, and the gentleman who conceives the refinement of manners no injury to society, are in-terested in the correction of an evil fraught with the most dangerous conse-quences to the community."
[Columbian Advertiser, &c.]
Can any person who has been in the ha-bit of reading WESTCOTT's paper since its first establishment, read the forego-ing without amazement at the consum-mate impudence of the fellow.—During the former administration, no calumny his own pu-rile imagination could sug-gest, or the infamous columns of the Aurora and other jacobin prints could afford was thought by him too gross to be admitted into his paper—But now, forsooth, that they have gained their diabolical ends, by the basest means, he cries out against an investigation of the conduct of public men and measures. It is a pity this learned editor had not, reflected a little sooner on the correct-ness of the sentiment quoted from Montesquieu, and acted from the con-viction he now seems to have of it—it would not have come from him with fo-ill a grace at this time.
We shall ever hold ourselves bound to make such comments on the proceed-ings of those who are entrusted with the administration of our government, as our own ideas of a proper respect to the constituted authorities of the coun-try shall point out, and we place a firm reliance on the good sense of our fellow citizens to distinguish between the liberty and licentiousness of them, meagre the attempts of any jacobin edi-tor to impress an opinion of their being of the latter class.
From the Connecticut Gazette, Capt. Sanger, 13 days from Bassetter, Guadalupe informs that previous to his failing, the government caused it to be re-ported, that the English had refused to
give up Tobago agreeable to the Treaty; and under a pretence of an expedition to take that Island by force, the black troops and a body of whites were embarked on board two ships of the line and two fri-gates. Having secured the black, the white troops were reloaded; and the next day more blacks male and female were sent on board, and it was said, and im-plicitly believed, that they were sold to the Spanish government, to be employed in working in the mines of South Ameri-ca; where the fleet is destined. The number of negroes shipped off amounted to 5000.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
Those who have been observant specta-tors of the influence of that destroyer of society, DEMOCRACY, upon the human mind, were well aware, that as soon as her offspring had foisted themselves into the high places of the nation, they would, ere-long, in turn, like the children of Sa-turn, become food for their monster-parent. Accordingly, we find, notwithstanding the exertions of the Aurora, Citizen and other Jeffersonian vehicles of slander, to keep the attention of their whole party intent upon the total extirpation of the federal "set"; yet victims they are to, and devoted they will be by this moon-struck goddess; whose cradle is discension; grovelling ambition her nurse, and liberty, equality, vox populi vox Dei , her lullaby. Her excursions of pleasure are on the "tempestuous sea of liberty" Her char-iot is the storm of faction; her hand-maid the whirlwind of desolation; and her couch the field of blood. Such a pa-tent! such an offspring!
From the first history of man to the pre-sent day, we can find no people who have followed the precepts of this deity, that have not been made a "monument of er-ror" to succeeding ages. But not to de-scend to antiquity, how was it in France within the memory of us all. Her altar there has been the scaffold, and the guil-lotine her head minister of the ceremonies. Her reign has ceased for a moment, and hath been succeeded by that of him who cometh after —DESPOTISM. "Hi her, hither, goddess come," has been the cry among her designing and deluded devotees of this country, till their prayer is about to be granted. Here she seems to be winging her way to be attended by all her defolating train. May some kind angel turn her aside, and disappoint the hopes of him who cometh after !
Apoclypse. Fed. Gaz.
FROM THE N. Y. EVENING POST.
JEFFERSON AND CALLENDER. No. II.
The Citizen asserts roundly that it is impossible that Mr. Jefferson should have paid Callender the money as asserted.
No; it is not impossible. The fact is too stubborn to be beaten down by the mere assertion of the self-dubbed Cicero. Mr. Jefferson did give Callender twice fifty dollars for writing against the administra-tions. The truth of the charge does not rest on the veracity of Callender alone; persons are named and appealed to in sup-port of what he alleges. In Callender's last Recorder we find the following pas-sage—
"In the 7th letter to Jones, it was stated that Mr. Jefferson had, unsolicited, sent 100 dollars to assist in printing the two volumes of the Prospect. The mo-ney was paid at two different times by his relation, Mr. George Jefferson, who is ready to attest the fact."
But why is not Callender himself enti-tled to credit? because says the Ameri-can Citizen, no reliance could EVER be placed on him." Indeed! How then dared Mr. Jefferson to give his sanction to the writings of a man of this descripti-on? With what conscience could he per-mit them to go into the world? Why did he not when the specimen sheets were be-fore him, at least suggest some correction, amendment, revision, or alteration? With what face and under what impression could he compliment him as a writer? But above all, why did he pay him the price of his iniquity? These are questions which must be answered in some other way than has yet been attempted, or the object of Democratic adoration, must in the estima-tion of this whole community sink into that opprobrium which men acquainted with his character have long since attached to him.
After a little unmeaning abuse of the last administration, and some very fulsome
compliments to Mr. Jefferson, the Citizen proceeds—
"Nay so far from his standing in need of paying Callender, or any other hire-ling, for writing against the late admi-nistration, with a view to effect the election of himself to the Presidency, it is evident that had it not been for fede-ral arts if not fraud, Adams would not have been elected; Mr. Jefferson would undoubtedly have succeeded Washing-ton to the Presidential chair."
Pray what were the "federal arts, if not fraud," which are here charged up-on us by this alien editor? Where and how were they practised? Was there any thing sinister, any thing fraudulent in the prefer-ence given by a majority of the American people of Mr. Adams to Mr. Jefferson? And yet this simply is the whole amount of subtlety and crime now seriously charg-ed against the federalists. It is enough humiliating to our country, that Mr. Jef-ferson should at any time hold that station in the government, which was once filled by the great and virtuous Washington; but that he should have been too inju-rious to the fame of that illustrious char-acter, and too hurtful to the pride of all who feel a proper interest in the honor of their country. It would have been, by one violent movement, to vibrate from all that was great and good, to the extreme of littleness and depravity. From so sud-den a degradation we were saved; not by "arts;" not by "fraud;" but by those manly sentiments which had carried us through the revolution, and had so far supported the administration of our gov-ernment. The people had not then yield-ed to that delusion which has since blind-ed them to the arts of hypocrisy, and made them the dupes of the foulest slander. Modern patriotism had not yet numbered its proselytes; a little accession of strength was still wanting, and powerful auxiliaries were found in those restless and discontent-ed spirits, who, spurning the restraints of government in the old world, had traver-sed the ocean in search of freedom in the new; of that freedom which would give full indulgence to their profligate and li-centious dispositions.
With this reinforcement of "distressed fugitives" the "Republicans" made a des-perate effort at the last election, and finally succeeded in elevating to that station which a Washington once held, the very man who, in his administration and whilst he himself was one of its luminar-ies, employed a press in its abuse; who by holding a private language towards Genet at variance with his official, exposed him-self to the reproaches of this foreigner for his baseness and treachery; who abandon-ed his post on the first appearance of dan-ger and withdrew to the groves of Mont-i-cello under the declared pretence of bid-ding a final adieu to public life, but who instead of pursuing the "philosophic bent of his mind" was incessantly employed in propping up his own popularity by every dishonorable artifice in his power; who encouraged, nay paid for the vilest calum-nies against Washington and his admini-stration—paid for the abuse of him whilst living and rewarded the unhallowed hands which invaded his sacred tomb, & attempt-ed to blast his memory. But the madness which produced this disgraceful event is subsiding; reason is fast resuming her em-pire, and an indignant people will ere long with becoming scorn hurl the pigmy politician, the hollow-hearted philosopher from the place which he has usurped in their affections and confidence.
