Address from the citizens of the United States in Cape Francois.
To TOBIAS LEAR, Esq. General Commercial Agent from the United States of America for the island of St. Domingo.
Sir, With deep regret we learn that you are on the eve of your return to the United States, at a moment when your presence might have been so essential to the interest of our country.
Had I been confident with the views of the French government to have authorized your continuance here in your official capacity, we are persuaded the most happy consequences would have been the result.
The uniform and unremitted exertions you have ever since your residence among us, employed for the security of our trade, and the protection of our persons and property, have been of such a nature as to demand our warmest approbation; permit us, therefore, to offer you our cordial thanks for your solicitude & zeal so often and so cheerfully manifested on every occasion when your services were required.
Our most ardent desire is, that our country may reward you in that way which we conceive your eminent services merit.
Accept, Sir, we pray you, our affectionate wishes for your personal welfare, and the assurances of our sincere esteem and consideration.

Answer of Colonel LEAR, To the citizens of the United States residing in the city of Cape Francois.
Friends and fellow-citizens, The affectionate address which you have been pleased to present to me, on the eve of my departure, for the United States, merits and receives my warmest and most grateful acknowledgments.
In discharging the duties incumbent upon me in my official character, since my residence among you, I have ever felt a peculiar satisfaction, because I believed my motives were duly appreciated; and I should still feel happy to prolong my residence in this colony, if it were in my power to be useful to you—In whatever situation of life I may be placed, I shall remember you with affection; and no occurrence could be more pleasing to myself, than that which might enable me to promote your welfare and prosperity.
Under all the unfavorable circumstances which have occurred since my arrival here, I have experienced the highest consideration from the friendly attentions you have been pleased to show me, and the readiness with which every exertion has been made for our mutual preservation and welfare, whenever these exertions were necessary.
Fully persuaded as I am, that in every event which may happen, your conduct will evince the respect which you have for our country, as well as for yourselves, as men, I leave you with entire confidence, that our fellow citizens in the United States will feel a lively interest in your welfare and prosperity.
For your affectionate wishes for my personal welfare, my heart overflows with gratitude; and my prayers that every blessing may be bestowed upon you, will be offered up to that Being who can preserve and protect you.
Accept, my friends, and fellow citizens, the assurances of my affectionate regard.

The Legislature met the 13th inst. Col. Chester, was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, by a great majority.
In COBBET'S Weekly Political Register of March 20th, treating of the disputes from Le Clerc, the following observation occurs:
"If Toussaint shall retreat to the United States of America, where he has 200,000 dollars in the Bank of New-York, the war of St. Domingo will be of very short duration indeed."
The following is also found in a recent number of the same publication:
"It is a fact, which is not generally known, but with which ministers are doubtless well acquainted, that there have been at Paris, for some time past, several chiefs of the Illinois nation, accompanied by interpreters and agents, duly authorized to treat with Bonaparte, who has entertained and cared for them in the same manner, and for the same purpose, that he entertains and cares for the Egyptian Mamelukes, whom he keeps in his pay and about his person.—With these Indians he has lately entered into an alliance, the first object of which is the taking possession of Detroit, which is situated between the lakes Erie, St. Clair, and Huron, and which has ever been regarded as the key to Canada. At this moment an expedition is preparing in the parts of France, under the command of General Bernadotte, who is to be accompanied by all the Indian natives now in France, and who, with the French army, are to be landed at New-Orleans, and carry into execution the project of seizing on the far trade; and on the provinces of Canada where their measures are duly matured. A chain of military posts, from the confluence of the rivers Illinois and Mississippi, in an easterly direction to the lakes, Erie, &c. will enable the French to enter Canada at their pleasure, or oblige us to keep up an army of enormous amount. In the Floridas, the French have determined to establish a naval port in the bay of St. Pedro, which is situated on the western coast of East Florida, and in the Gulf of Mexico, where abundance of provisions for the navy may be easily obtained, and where, in any future war with this country, the French cruisers, in co-operation with others from the Havanna, may successfully annoy the trade that passes the Gulf stream. Will the Americans view this with indifference?"
PHILADELPHIA, May 13, 1802.
A letter from Cape Francois, under date of the 29th April, to a gentleman in this city, states, a rumour is now very prevalent, that Toussaint has been shot in the shoulder, of which wound he has since died.
LANCASTER, May 15.
Important! Law Intelligence.
On Monday last, the hon. supreme court of this state commenced their session in this town for the purpose of trying the intrusion causes, which have been depending in the court of quarters since last August term.
The hon. Jasper Yeates and the hon. Hugh H. Breckenridge, esq. are presided as judges.
On Tuesday the cause of John Franklin, John Jenkins, Eliza Satterlee, and Jos. Bales, was before the court. The three first were charged in the indictment with combining and conspiring to convey, possess and settle lands in this county since the 11th of April 1795, under titles not derived from this commonwealth, and the latter with surveying and laying out townships contrary to the intent and meaning of the intrusion acts. The counsel engaged for the commonwealth, were Messrs. Sitgreaves, Duncan, Smith, Hall, and Bowman; for the defendants, Messrs. Dick, Evans, Griffin, Welles, Walker and Hudson. After the testimony on the part of the commonwealth, was heard, Mr. Dick opened the cause, addressing the court in a lengthy speech on the constitutionality of the law on which the indictments were founded. He was answered by Mr. Duncan, who was replied to by Mr. Evans. Mr. Sitgreaves then made some observations on a particular point of law, when Mr. Griffin closed the arguments in behalf of the defendants, and Mr. Dan. Smith for the commonwealth. Their being a disagreement in sentiment between the court,
Mr. Breckenridge the junior judge, addressed some very pertinent observations to the jury; he recapitulated the principal arguments advanced by counsel, and independently gave his opinion that the intrusion law was unconstitutional; he informed them they were competent to decide on its constitutionality; that if they concurred in it to be unconstitutional, it was their duty to declare it, and the indictments would of course fall to the ground.
Judge Yeates then addressed the jury. He used several arguments in support of the constitutionality of the law, and also informed the jury it was their province to decide on its constitutionality. He called into view the principal points of the testimony of the different witnesses, and pointed out to the jury the facts which must govern their decision.
The jury returned a special verdict in which they found the facts against two of the defendants Franklin and Jenkins, subject to the opinion of the court upon the question of the constitutionality of the intrusion law. The court being divided in opinion, no judgment was passed—but the final decision of the cause was deferred to the next session of the supreme circuit court in Lancaster county, which will probably be during the course of the next spring. Messrs. Satterlee and Bales were acquitted by the jury. The court then ordered a nolle prosequi to be entered in the case of all those gentlemen who were under recognizances, for their appearance at the court being conscious of defects in the indictments for intrusion; and their recognizances were taken for their appearance at the next court of quarter sessions to be held in this county in August next.
Norfolk, May 15.
Authentic particulars of the late intended insurrection of the Negroes.
We deemed it prudent heretofore to be silent on this interesting subject, in order that a more complete discovery of the meditated plot might be made; but, as it is generally believed that it has been discovered in its commencement, silence is considered no longer necessary; we therefore lay before our readers, such facts as we have been able to collect from sources deemed authentic, and from our own knowledge.
For some months past information from various quarters had been conveyed to the civil and military authorities of the borough, that an insurrection was in agitation, and that it was to take place during the Easter holidays. All accounts agreed in stating, that the signal of revolt was to be given by setting fire to this town! The various informations received, did not, however, appear sufficiently well founded to apprehend any of those suspected. Strong patrols were ordered to reinforce the ordinary watch, and every precaution taken to guard against mischief.
On the Thursday before Easter Monday, a negro fellow was taken up (for want of having a pass) on his way from Princess Anne to this town, who gave information that three negroes (two of whom are now under sentence of death, the other has not as yet been tried) had solicited him to join in setting the town on fire on Easter Monday night. Nothing could be more clear and positive than this testimony. Several were named by the above three as being also concerned, and taken up; but as no proof but hearsay evidence appearing against them, they have been discharged.
The fate of the unfortunate wretches, (negroes Jeremiah and Ned) who are to be executed to-morrow, will be a sufficient warning to the rest of those deluded people, who, upon a moment's reflection, must be satisfied, that from the military strength of this place, all their wicked attempts must end in their own ruin.
Letters from Halifax and Charlotte counties (N. C.) inform, that nightly meetings were very general among the negroes in the above counties—that quantities of arms and ammunition have been found concealed—that numbers of the ringleaders have been taken up, seven of whom have been sentenced to death and immediate execution.—Throughout the whole of the state of North Carolina (particularly the lower counties) insurrections among those miscreants seem to have been very general, which leaves us no room to doubt but a horrid massacre of the whites was intended by the negroes of this and the adjoining states.
NEW-YORK, May 17.
By Capt. O'Brien, from Teneriffe, we yesterday received several official letters from Peter Sterling, esq. Vice-Consul of the United States at Barcelona. The first letter, of the date of the 6th of February, contains information that the Swedish admiral Baron Cederstrom, then at Malaga, had given orders, that on the 15th of January he intended to dispatch two frigates of his division, to convey the Swedish and American vessels destined for the ports of the Mediterranean, as far as Sicily.
The second letter is addressed to Capt. John O'Brien, of the date of the 13th of Feb. Mr. Sterling informs Capt. O'Brien, that by a letter addressed to Mr.
William Willis, (Consul) from Mr. Richard O'Brien, dated the 30th of January at Algiers. It seems from the best information, that at present there are three sail of Tripolitan corsairs at sea, in search of Americans and Swedes; and some report that there were five corsairs out. Mr. Sterling adds, that the Swedish admiral had gone to Toulon, to adopt a plan with Commodore Dale, relative to attacking Tripoli; and expresses his hopes that it may be attacked with success; for if the war should continue in its present state, it would drain the United States of vast sums.
Capt. O'Brien adds, that on the 28th of February, during a violent gale, a number of Swedish vessels had taken shelter in the inner road of Salou, amongst which was a Tripolitan X-beck of 10 guns and 120 men, under French colours. This cruiser on the 23rd March went to sea, and anchored in 50 fathom water. Some time previous to this, at night, a boat belonging to her was seen rowing amongst the Danish vessels adjacent to the port of Salou.
New-York, May 13.
Last evening arrived at this port the brig Hope, Capt. Lee, in 13 days from Cape Francois, after being detained there upward of two months.—Capt. Lee informs us, that two days previous to his leaving Cape Francois an interview took place at Haut-de-Gap (a village at the distance of about three miles from the Cape) between the commander in chief, Le Clerc, and Gen. Christophe; but that the result of the conference had not been officially made known. The most pleasing conclusions were, however, drawn on the subject; and there existed hardly a doubt but that Christophe had negotiated terms for himself and his army, as he was to be in the Cape on the day the Hope sailed, and preparations were making to receive and entertain him in a manner suitable to his rank by the general of the northern division, Hardy, with whom Christophe was that day to dine.
Various speculations were abroad as to the probability of Toussaint's being a party to the arrangements of Christophe. Those best acquainted with the character of the latter were firmly of opinion that he would not conclude any agreement to which his chief was not a party; and this opinion was strengthened by the publicity and form of the audience at Haut-de-Gap. Christophe refused to come within the French lines until a white officer of equal rank was sent as a hostage.—The meeting was unlike that of a traitor stealing an opportunity to betray his trust.
These circumstances have diffused a general joy amongst the inhabitants of Cape-town, who begin to look forward to the time when their troubles will be terminated.
No material progress had been made in rebuilding the town when Capt. Lee sailed; nor had any change for the better taken place in the treatment received by the Americans from the various departments of government through which they were under the necessity of doing business. Every procuration continued to be practised, nor was it possible to effect the least dispatch unobstructed. Government had discontinued the practice of putting in a state of requisition all the articles of provision that had lately arrived, the necessity for that measure having ceased. An additional duty of ten per cent. making in the whole 20 per cent. had been laid on all descriptions of dry goods not the manufacture of France, or not imported in French bottoms.
Captain Rogers and Captain Davidson remained in close confinement in a dungeon, on the common gael allowance.
The ship Ann, of New-York, was publicly condemned by beat of drum on the morning of the 17th of April.
Extract of a letter from Cape Francois, dated April 27th, to a merchant in this city, received by the brig Hope, in 13 days.
"Christophe, the black general, has surrendered himself to general Le Clerc; and has promised that all the negroes, who left their respective plantations, shall immediately return. Commercial business is getting a little better than when last wrote to you."
LONDON, March 30.
Two circumstances were announced yesterday which occasioned universal joy—the arrival of the definitive treaty of peace, and the notice by the minister of a motion to repeal the Income Tax.—No two events could have afforded more gratification. It was giving us indeed a speedy and solid taste of the blessings of peace, not to suffer the day on which the definitive treaty arrived to elapse, without promulgating the intention to repeal a war tax which had pressed with such weight upon all classes of people. The joyful intelligence was immediately transmitted by many members to their constituents. Mr. Combe addressed the following letter to Benjamin Trevers, Esq. chairman of the committee appointed by the Livery of London:
House of Commons, March 29, 1802. Sir, In order that the gentlemen of the committee of the Livery of London, may
not be unnecessarily engaged any longer in their obj. d. I trouble you with this to give you the earliest intelligence that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has just given notice, that he has moved the house of commons for a repeal of the tax on income.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, Sir, Your most obedient, humble servant, II. C. Combe. Have past 5 o'clock.
We should suppose, however, it is intended that the income tax shall form part of the ways and means of the present year. It would require new taxes to a large amount to provide at present, not only for the interest of the loan, but for the interest of former debts which the income tax has been mortgaged to discharge.
With respect to the terms of the definitive treaty, we have been informed that there is no very wide departure from the preliminaries. Malta is to be restored to the order of St. John of Jerusalem, and to be under the guarantee of the principal powers in Europe.
The French language is to be abolished, and no portion of that nation is to be capable, in future, of holding any employment, civil or military, in the island.
It is said that the treaty of Buda-Pez, is alone to be acted upon between France and Portugal, and the treaty of Madrid, to be declared null and void. The French will not, of course, obtain the extension of territory in America, which the latter treaty gave them. The Stockholder is to be indemnified for his losses. The treaty concluded at Buda in 1796, between France and Prussia, had established his highnesses indemnity, and had assigned to him Wurzburg and Bamberg. Spain and the Batavian Republic are to guarantee Ceylon and Trinidad to us.
The treaty was signed at Amiens in the presence of all the Prefects of the department, and a vast concourse of people. The hall in which the Plenipotentiaries met, was crowded with people, and the instant the signature took place, the air resounded with acclamations. On Saturday evening an illumination took place in all the towns of the department.
When Mr. Moore, accompanied by Mr. Hunter, arrived at Calais with the treaty, the vessel he had engaged had been taken by some other person, and he was obliged to proceed to sea in an open boat. When approaching the English coast, he fired a gun of distress, and was brought on shore by some English fishermen. He had not travelled far, when the poles of the chaise broke; a little farther, one spring gave way; and at some distance farther, one of the wheel-horses fell and overturned the carriage. Fortunately neither Mr. Moore nor the messenger received any material hurt; but the news of the treaty's signature was delayed nine hours.
