No bills had been issued by the government when he left there, nor was it known when they would be; the amount of specie engaged to be given in part of the contract for the cargoes taken by the government had been paid to several, subject, however, to great deductions for what they term the "prompt payment of the government;" capt. Rofs being obliged to pay 79 dollars 72 cents, in order to obtain 1300 dollars 68 cents, the amount of specie due to him. A few days before capt. Rofs left the Cape, capt. Rodgers (late of the navy) and capt. Davidson, of the St. Domingo Packet, of Philadelphia, were arrested and confined in a close dungeon, but the cause of their confinement was unknown. Gen. Le Clerc had returned to the Cape. On the 16th ult. a general action was to take place, but the result of the action had not transpired
when capt. R. failed; the brigands were still continuing their nightly depredations, burning and destroying all the property they found. The Cape is overstocked with provision, so much so that they could not find warehouse room for it, and cargoes daily arriving.
Arrived the brig Nonpareil, capt. Lecat, 40 days from Lisbon. Eight days ago, in lat. 39, long. 63, spoke the British ship Lalleles, captain Hozier, 30 days out from Cadiz, bound to Norfolk.
Arrived the schooner Eliza, capt. Rofs, 12 days from Cape Francois.
The bowsprit of a brig (as is supposed) drifted ashore at Bermuda the latter end of March, cut with an axe near the stem of the vessel, on which is cut with a chisel or knife, the words "Anity of Norfolk." It is fresh, and must have been lost lately.

THURSDAY, MAY 6.
IT is a fact, perhaps not generally known, that many Democrats are in the habit of visiting at Mount Vernon. It would be well if these friends and patrons of the notorious Bache, and the still more notorious Duane, would, when they find themselves within the walls of that hospitable mansion, the seat of our departed hero, call to their recollection the following extract from the Aurora—"and then to dinner with what appetite they may."
DEMOCRATIC REJOICING ON THE RESIGNATION OF GEN. WASHINGTON.
"Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation," was the pious ejaculation of a man who beheld a flood of happiness rushing in on mankind; if ever there was a time that would license the reiteration of the exclamation, the time is now arrived; for the man who is the source of the misfortunes of our country, is this day reduced to a level with his fellow citizens, and is no longer possessed of power to multiply evils on the United States; if ever there was a period for rejoicing this is the moment. Every heart in unison with the freedom and happiness of the people, ought to beat high with exultation, that the name of WASHINGTON, from this day, ceases to give currency to political iniquity, and to legalize corruption. A new era is opening upon us; an era that promises much to the people; for public measures must now stand on their own merit, and nefarious projects can no longer be supported by a name! When a retrospect is taken of the Washington administration, for eight years, it is a subject of the greatest astonishment that a single individual could have cankered the principles of republicanism in an enlightened people, and should have carried his designs against the public liberty so far as to have put in jeopardy its very existence. Such however are the facts, and with these staring us in the face, this day ought to be a day of Jubilee in the United States."
The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman at Cape-Francois, dated the 14th ult. to his friend in Baltimore.
"The Americans here are much alarmed in consequence of the conduct of the French towards them lately. The commander in chief has ordered our consul, Tobias Lear, Esq. to execute his functions no longer in this colony. He has consequently taken down the sign of the American Eagle, and quit acting as consul.—Captain John Rogers, of Baltimore, and a captain Davis, were two days ago arrested by order of the commander general Le Clerc, and are now in separate dungeons, the most secure in the Cape, with every communication denied them. The cause of the arrest, as far as I can find out, on the side of captain Rogers, is, for having spoken disrespectfully of the French government. The charge against Davis is of a different nature, of what kind I know not. The Americans are looked on here in a trifling light, and every way abused. There is a severe piece in one of the Philadelphia papers, respecting the conduct of the French before and after taking possession of the Cape. The French are all in arms respecting it. They highly suspect Rogers, while in America, of being the author of it. I am doubtful for the fate of the Americans here—all are getting off as fast as they can; and the merchants are packing up to quit this, for America."
The uniform tenor of our information from the Cape, has been nearly the same, as far as it related to the treatment of our fellow-citizens there, until the receipt of colonel Lear's letter at Alexandria. If he spoke the dictates of his own heart, he
must have been correct—but if his life has been jeopardised, if he were under apprehension of personal injury from the French; Americans have only to lament the degraded situation of their country—a country which they encountered the perils of a bloody war to free from vassalage, a thousand times more tolerable. Should the latter have been the case, and there is cause to suspect it, from the confinement of captains Rogers and Davis, our government will no longer want an opportunity to convince their countrymen that not France, but America is the object of their guardianship and care.
(Balt. Fed. Gaz.)
From the Recorder, printed at Richmond, and edited by J. T. Callender. MR. BAYARD.
Another important occasion of honest forbearance by Mr. Bayard may be recorded also.
Shortly before the administration of Mr. Adams ended, Mr. Bayard was recommended by him as ambassador to France; the senate approved; so that Mr. Bayard might have immediately drawn from the treasury, 18000 dollars for one year's salary and outfit. Instead of this, he did nothing until Mr. Jefferson took the helm. Mr. Bayard then discovered that the appointments would not be continued by Mr. Jefferson; and he with great propriety and honesty permitted the money to remain in the treasury.
Thus it appears that the treasury of the United States is richer by 32000 dollars than it would have been, if Mr. Pickering and Mr. Bayard had used to their own advantage the benefit which the law did allow.* So that it appears that some of the most leading federal characters are not only much better than they have been represented, but have acted with a degree of honesty and honor which deserves public notice and applause.
* Mr. P. gained 14,000 dollars in the purchase of bills of exchange on Holland which he might have claimed as his own.

THE THOROUGH BRED HORSE,
MONTALTA,
WILL stand at my stable and be let to mares the present season, at Sixteen Dollars, or Eight Dollars the leap, and Twenty Four Dollars to ensure a mare with foal, and Half a Dollar, in each instance, to the groom. The money for the leap must be sent with the mares also, which may be discharged by the payment of twelve dollars on or before the last day of July, at which time the season will expire. The season commences on the first day of April. Mares will be fed with grain, if required, at the market price. Good and extensive pasture gratis. All possible care will be used to guard against accidents and escape, tho' I will not be answerable for either.
MONTALTA was got by Colonel Homes's imported horse Bedford, whose character and pedigree stands so high, both in England and America, as to need no comment from me. His dam, as certified by Daniel Carroll Brent, Esq. of Richland, who bred her, was got by Lindfay's Arabian, her dam was young Selima, her grand dam Mr. William Brent's Ebony, her great grand dam Colonel Taskoe's imported Selima. Ebony's sire was Col. Tayloe's imported Othello. Young Selima's sire was Col. Baylor's imported Fearnought. This blood is also so well known to, and in such high estimation with gentlemen who have been and are now on the turf, that I shall only add, that Montalta's colour, high form, marks, &c. are admired by all who have seen him. He is full 15 1/2 hands high, and will be five years old next May.

PROPOSALS,
By G. F. HOPKINS, No. 118, Pearl street, New-York,
For publishing by Subscription, In two handsome octavo volumes,
THE FEDERALIST
ON THE NEW CONSTITUTION. BY PUBLIUS. WRITTEN IN 1788.
TO WHICH IS ADDED, PACIFICUS,
ON The Proclamation of Neutrality. WRITTEN IN 1793.
The whole revised and corrected, with new passages and notes.
THE FEDERALIST was written in a short time after the promulgation of the proposed Constitution, and addressed to the People of the State of New-York, with the design of enforcing the propriety and necessity of its adoption.
It is principally the production of a man whose name will be held in sacred respect long after the pitiful attempts which have been made to slander his fame shall have sunk into oblivion. Two other gentlemen, of distinguished ability, also contributed some essays, which will be marked in the publication.
All parties seem at length united in the expression of regard for the Constitution; if they are sincere, the consideration cannot fail to enhance the value of a work, which, by employing in its service all the energy of argument, and all the persuasion of eloquence, was eminently useful in promoting its general ratification.
Whoever is desirous of being well informed of the principles and provisions of our Government, and the manner in which they have been supported and vindicated, of the objections that were made to the Constitution by its first opponents, and how they were answered, will find these volumes fraught with ample and satisfactory information. The study of them must form an essential part of the education of the American statesman. Politicians, indeed, of every country, will here discover materials in the science of government well worthy of their attention. The Federalist contains principles, which, as it most deeply concerns human happiness, may be remembered and studied with advantage by all classes of men in other countries than our own, and in other ages than that in which it was written. The People of America alone have afforded the example of a pure Representative Republic. In this work it will appear, that the principles of this form of Government have been well understood, and thoroughly developed, as should, unfortunately, the experiment which has been made, hereafter fail, it will be in vain to tempt the renewal of similar systems, as no rational hope can be entertained, that more correct notions on this subject will prevail than here exhibited.
To preserve these papers, therefore, which have so much intrinsic merit, and such high utility, in a dress suitable to their character, is the inducement to their re-publication.
PACIFICUS is from the pen of the same distinguished statesman who was the chief author of the Federalist. These Essays were written in defence of the first leading step which our Government took to preserve that Neutrality which continued to maintain during the late European conflict; a conflict which has annihilated the minor powers of Europe, and shaken the civilized world.
Now that the storm has passed over, and the angry and tumultuous passions which at that time agitated our country, have in some measure subsided, these papers will be read with pleasure by the intelligent man of every party. Candor will probably wonder, that any should have doubted of the fitness of the measure which this writer has so ably advocated, and which experience has so forcibly proved to have been best adapted to the interests of the country.
To give to these latter Essays a form which shall outlive the fleeting impressions of a newspaper, they are incorporated in these volumes. Publius and Pacificus will serve to keep in remembrance two very important events in the history of our country.
* The first gentleman here alluded to is General Hamilton—the other two, Mr. Madison and Mr. Jay.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Work shall be put to press immediately after 400 subscribers are obtained, and finished with the utmost expedition. II. Where practicable, the books shall be forwarded, free of expense, to those places as may be designated, and a person appointed to deliver them. III. It shall be printed on a superior medium paper, with a neat type, handsomely bound and lettered, and delivered to subscribers at Two Dollars a volume. To non-subscribers the price will be enhanced. IV. Subscribers to pay, where convenient, one dollar in advance. * Subscriptions received at the Office of the Alexandria Advertiser, and by the different Booksellers in Alexandria.
