TRIAL OF JOHN PICKERING.
[Concluded.] SATURDAY, March 10.
Mr. White submitted the following motion:
Resolved, That the Court is not at present prepared to give their final decision upon the articles of impeachment, preferred by the House of Representatives, against John Pickering district judge for the district of New Hampshire, for high crimes and misdemeanors, the said John Pickering not having appeared, or been heard by himself or counsel, and it being suggested to the court by Jacob S. Pickering, son of the said John Pickering, that the said John Pickering, at the time of the conduct charged against him, in the said articles of impeachment, as high crimes and misdemeanors, was, and yet is insane, which suggestion has been supported by the testimony of two members of the court, and by the affidavits of sundry persons, whose integrity and veracity is unimpeached. And it being further suggested in the said petition, that at such future day as the Court may appoint, the body of the said John Pickering, shall be produced in Court, and further testimony, in his behalf, which would enable the Court to judge for themselves as to the insanity of the said John Pickering, and to act more understandingly in the premises, but that the said John Pickering, owing to bodily infirmity could not be brought to court at present, at so great a distance, and at this inclement season of the year, without imminent hazard of his life.
It passed in the negative, { Yeas 9. Nays 10.

MONDAY, March 12.
Mr. White submitted the following as the question to be put to each member upon each article of impeachment, viz.
Is John Pickering, district judge of the district of New Hampshire, guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors upon the charges contained in the article of impeachment, or not guilty?
This motion being negatived.—Ayes 10—Nays 18—
Mr. Anderson moved the following form:
Is John Pickering, district judge of the district of New Hampshire, guilty, as charged in the article of impeachment, exhibited against him by the House of Representatives.
This motion was agreed to Yeas 18—Nays 9—as follows:
YEAS—Messrs. Anderson, Baldwin, Breckenridge, Cocke, Ellery, Franklin, Jackson, Logan, MacLay, Nicholas, Potter, I. Smith, J. Smith of Ohio, S. Smith of N. Y. Sumner, Venable, Worthington and Wright. 18.
NAYS—Messrs. Adams, Dayton, Hillhouse, Olcott, Pickering, Plumer, Tracy, Wells, White—9.
Agreeable to notice given to the House of Representatives, on Saturday, that the court of Impeachments would this day, at 12 o'clock, proceed to pronounce judgement on the articles of Im-
peachment, exhibited by them, against John Pickering, the Managers attended; and the first article was read.
And on the question—Is John Pickering, district Judge of New Hampshire, guilty as charged in the first article of impeachment, exhibited against him by the House of Representatives?
It was determined in the affirmative. Yeas 19—Nays 7. as follows:
YEAS—Messrs. Anderson, Baldwin, Breckenridge, Cocke, Ellery, Franklin, Jackson, Logan, MacLay, Nicholas, Potter, I. Smith, S. Smith, J. Smith, Ohio J. Smith, N. Y. Sumner, Venable, Worthington, Wright—19.
NAYS—Messrs. Adams, Hillhouse, Olcott, Pickering, Plumer, Tracy, Wells—7.
The same question was put, in the same way, upon the three remaining articles, and decided by a like result.
On the question, is the Court of opinion that John Pickering be removed from the office of judge of the District Court of the district of New Hampshire?
It was determined in the affirmative.—Yeas 20; Nays 6; as follows:
YEAS—Messrs. Anderson, Baldwin, Breckenridge, Cocke, Ellery, Franklin, Jackson, Logan, MacLay, Nicholas, Potter, I. Smith, S. Smith, J. Smith, Ohio, J. Smith, N. Y. Sumner, Venable, Wells, Worthington, Wright.—20.
NAYS—Messrs. Adams, Hillhouse, Olcott, Pickering, Plumer, Tracy.—6.
The court then adjourned sine die .
Early in the trial a question being raised as to the propriety of Senators who were during the last session members of the House of Representatives, and voted upon the question for impeaching judge Pickering, sitting and voting as judges upon the trial: the Senate decided that they were not thereby disqualified from sitting on the trial.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1—tw&ugff
Baltimore.
We are indebted to the politeness of captain Fisk, who arrived here on Monday last from St. Marks, for the copy of which the following is a translation.
TRANSLATED FOR THE AMERICAN.
To my fellow-citizens,
The momentous event which again takes place in our country, (so subject to vicissitudes) is of such a nature, as will particularly attract the attention of the Old Continent. In its folds our future destinies are involved; and it demands our most vigilant attention, to preserve to posterity, the attitude which the oppression of the white French has compelled us to assume, by repelling every encroachment to tyranny.
Self-preservation, a delire coeval with existence—Resistance of oppression, our first duty; our most natural right, have placed arms in our hands; and thanks to the Almighty, who willeth not the destruction of the innocent, our oppressors have dispersed before our native phalanges, as the impure mias of the morning before the rays of the sun.
Never, indeed, did a cause more laudable, more sacred, more Heroic! nor an enemy more dastardly, more perfidious, or more blood-thirsty appear than the French. Me thinks I see their first arrival on our coasts—and who doubts not but the enthusiasm of liberty, emanating from their breasts, would pervade our most distant shores, the only palliative they could offer for the abominations with which they have defaced the face of Europe. This nation, without doubt, ancient and experienced, and denominating itself refined, will inevitably hold forth to our infant people, the example of their virtues, of their generosity and moderation. But oh, stain to manhood, to humanity! At first insinuating and designing, their snare are laid with art, and the way that leads to destruction, to death, and in which they flattered themselves to ensnare our credulous simplicity, is strewn with flowers.
Now, insolent and vain, they assume the rod of dominion, and contend for the property of our persons. But familiarized with crime and skilful in its perpetration, their first attempt is directed against those heroes, who, proud of their independence, and spurning with indignation the proffered gold of the Spaniards and of the English, sprinkled with their blood the tri-coloured standard of liberty—and now, when clotted with the blood of their countrymen, and dripping with its dearest gore, they meditate an universal carnage, an other St. Bartholomews. The earth now opens with regret, to receive in her lacerated bosom, the children she had borne, that she had so proudly nurtured, and whom, but a few hours before, she had beheld in all the pride of manhood; while, in the holds of certain vessels, prepared with diabolical art, our trembling virgins, our children, smiling on the breasts of their distressed mothers, our wives, our matrons, are stifled with the fumes of sulphur. Behold, as yet, our shores are daily covered with the bodies which the ocean itself, delivering up disdains to conceal. Even now if respecting neither age nor sex, had they at once terminated an existence they judged incompatible with their views! But no! Torments alone can glut them. Those who, by an unjust transportation, have seen themselves torn from their tenderest, their dearest connexions, condemned to most bitter slavery, eke out a miserable existence. Some of these, under the ignominious badge of galley slaves, chained to the oar, are carelessly by invoking death to put an end at once, to their misery and shame: Others under the impending scourge of a pitiless and vigilant task-master, are daily exhaling the small remains of vigour left them by the battles of their country: Others banished to Ajaccio, in the miseries of oppression, can find consolation only in their virtue, and from the pleasing testimony of a well spent life: Others again basely sold by the orders of a government, boasting of its liberty, from the bottom of mines, are condemned to explore—vainly left their supplicating hands, enfeebled and debased by servitude, to a country, which, alas! They must never see again: Others, in fine, miraculously snatched from these evils, and scattered over the various parts of the globe, display to the eye of indifference, their miseries and their woes; leaving to a God of retribution, the care of their vengeance, and the means of returning to their native soil.
What then is our crime? Of what have we been guilty, to entail upon us
to general a proscription? Shall the name of African—shall be sprung from an African, be a perpetual stigma, the mark of indelible opprobrium?—Shall the colour of our visage, be alone the seal of eternal reprobation? Does the black or yellow stain, that you see on our foreheads, put a stop to the progress of arts, to virtue, to courage?—Has it prevented our rising superior to those, who, because we are black, think us their inferiors? Henceforth let this ideal, this unworthy privilege be obliterated. The Almighty, when he peopled the world, said to no one race or set of men, destroy you that . The French look down upon us—they are our superiors—they are whites, we are negroes; but let us shew them, we are superior to them in courage, in greatness of soul, but above all, in attachment to our country. Let their country, a slave this day to a foreign, unjust and ambitious master, learn from a people of savages, the secret to be free!—We are deemed unworthy of their equality; be it so—let the decree fall upon their own heads. We, in our turn, prefer this perfidious, this traitorous enemy: In our turn, let us thunder against it our anathemas. The French think us fit only to live in woods—be it so—Sons of the desert, children of misfortune, why do we delay! Let us take up our residence in our inaccessible retreats; it is there we shall be invincible. Oh, 'tis there, where the Tutelar Deity of Haiti calls to him, his beloved children. At a relation to generous ceremonies of our brethren, the bones of the martyrs to our liberty reanimate. There our arsenals, our arms, our provisions, our resources, our families will be immediately under the protection of nature, & of God. Let our towns, if a while, for any momentary advantage, they be suffered to exist, be sacrificed at the moment of invasion. Let the standard, which we have consecrated, the only one we ought ever to have raised, be the strong, the indissoluble chain, around which a nation of brethren are ever ready to unite. In this position, placed by necessity, the most imperious of laws. Woe, to the unfortunate, who should attempt to disturb the union and harmony which should reign amongst us.—Let him, like the paralytical and venomous vine, be extirpated from society. Far, far from hence, that spirit of discord and division, which, by flow yet sure degrees, undermines the best consolidated states.
Freed from the shackles of our ancient nature, and thrown into this new career of being, let us not for a moment forget, that in the discomfiture of enemies, we have drowned, in their blood, every sentiment of hatred and of discord; but above all, faithful to the laws of discipline and subordination—let us live and die under the command of the precious and intrepid chief, whom Heaven has appointed over us.
There is a virtue the source of happiness and prosperity to states, that we should scrupulously revere. It is good faith in our treaties, the religious observance of our promises, and fidelity in fulfilling our engagements with the stranger. Little ambitious of intermingling in the affairs of neighbouring powers; let us here for ever never to molest ourselves alone to the preservation of our own.—Then shall the Island of Hayti, after seeing its bowels torn out by its children, after having been consumed by its own ruins, like the Phoenix, again rise from its ashes, more beautiful and resplendent than ever.
Long live the Independence of Hayti! Long live the Governor General!
REPLY
OF THE COMMISSARY COLBERT, TO GENERAL ROCHAMBEAU,
UPON THE QUESTION,
*What is the Present Situation of PORT-AU-PRINCE*
HOW easy it is to fulfil the task which you have imposed upon me! You call for particulars respecting our situation; you believe that it is time, once more, to remedy the evils which oppressed us, and you are ignorant that our distress is increasing while I write; you are ignorant that the only effectual remedy to lighten the weight of our evils, is in the overthrow of this very organization which gives you the supreme power. The government alone, the public functionaries, and above all, the generals charged with the defence of certain parts of the colony, ought to be considered as the prime-movers of the afflicting events which insure our destruction. The interest which you seem to
take in our situation, & the desire which you manifest to apply to it some alleviation, ought to revive my hope and become my vouchers for the zeal which you will display in repairing your own faults and those of your predecessors, who have been guilty of atrocities which I cannot repeat without violating the delicacy which I wish to observe towards you, and without recalling to my memory some dreadful recollections. But a multitude of examples, as unhappy as they are incontestible, convince me that the language of truth and of violated humanity will be grating to your ear, accustomed to the incense which certain vile courtiers lavish upon you, and far from flattering myself with a speedy melioration of our condition, in giving you any details respecting our situation, I fulfil a duty which my place, as governor ( administrateur ) renders sacred to me. You will find, from this, the real situation of the magazines of this place, which are as delicate of provisions as the overseers employed for the purpose, are of the necessary talents and probity. I have taken care to distinguish the consumption authorized by our necessities, from that usurped by the commanding generals, the heads of the administration, and above all, the commandant of the place, who combine together to drain our resources, for the gratification of their sensuality and prodigality.
You will easily judge of the provisions which remain to us, of their duration, and of the future fate which awaits us, unless we make the most vigorous efforts to relieve ourselves. I could fill pages, and still you would know but a very small part of the dilapidations and the open and unheard of robberies which the principal representatives of the government commit with impunity.
Recollect the sums of money, the provisions and commodities which you unjustly placed at your own disposal at the time you left this city; deduct from the remainder the necessary expenses and the infamous robberies, the urgent consumption and the enormous dilapidations which have already been made, and it will be easy for you to calculate how we exist.
The sending of flour and provisions might, it is true, prolong our vegetation, and enable us to hold out for some time longer; but as to rendering us happy! Oh, how vain the project! Reform and changes must be made in proportion to the abuses which have hitherto existed. I do not speak of those who would particularly require your care and management, but I am at your representatives.
The generals Sarrazin and Lavalette, who command this division, do not possess the qualities requisite to merit, from the inhabitants and others, that confidence which you have lost since your promotion. Selfishness the most cruel, and avarice the most sordid, are the only objects which attract their attention. Imppositions as numerous as unjust, requisitions without number, are not sufficient to satiate their unbridled passions, which no sooner expire in the arms of wealth and voluptuousness, than they again rise to life and vigor; but the most sacred rights of humanity are trampled under foot, by depriving the inhabitants of fruits and other nourishment which they search out and collect at the utmost hazard. Many die of hunger, while the generals are lavish of the most delicious dainties.
Union, and the most perfect harmony between the inhabitant and the soldier, are the only means of braving the dangers which threaten us, and of overcoming enemies so formidable as those which divide us within and assault us without. Every step of the generals has tended only to divide the two parties, to oppress the inhabitant, and to excite the discontent of the soldier, at a moment when death and desertion are greatly reducing our forces; vessels are daily dispatched, and passers are written and delivered for the departure of the inhabitants and public officers; but instead of removing the women and children, and informing them destitute of the means of subsistence, these privileges are granted to individuals who offer sums of money proportionate to their estates. These large sums are destined to secure the same opportunities to the generals in a moment of danger, which so far from dreading, they actually invite; and the officers and soldiers, the officers of health, and those employed in the administration, are groaning in poverty, and dragging out their existence in the most dreadful misery. Of all the public officers, the commander of the place Lanisse , is the man who pursues

with the greatest zeal and intelligence, the interests of these worthy generals. Every day he distinguishes himself by some new crime, and every day is marked by new atrocities.
The Sub-Prefect, principal of the administration, presides with general Lavalette, under a commission denominated de Siege ; but instead of prescribing any vigorous measures for the promotion of public security, or watching over the execution of the laws, they conspire in devising means to enrich themselves, without the danger of detection.
They repose in the embraces of a young Creole, who, by her lewd and lascivious caresses, obtains the most distinguished favours for the most unworthy objects.
Behold! Citizen General, the representatives of your authority! Judge by them of our situation: and if you are delirious of burying your errors in oblivion, punish with severity the crimes of these usurpers. Such, I assure you, is the earnest prayer of all those who entertain sentiments of probity and devotion to the country which the generals have prostrated.
A true copy, By the General in Chief of the Indigenous Army. (Signed)
DESSALINES. FROM THE LONDON EVENING POST.
Answer of the French Government to his Majesty's Speech.
The lateness of the hour at which the last Paris papers arrived, prevented us from giving at length the remarks and comments made by the government of France, on the speech delivered by his Majesty to both Houses of Parliament on the opening of the present session. They constitute documents of the very first importance, and may be justly considered as expressive of the sentiments of Bonaparte himself on the actual state of both countries. We give them in the order in which they appear in the official paper, in a series of notes referring to particular passages of the King's speech.
NOTE THE FIRST. This note refers to the mention made of the Islands of St. Lucia, Tobago, St. Pierre and Miquelon.
"The Islands of St. Lucia, Tobago, St. Pierre, and Miquelon, belonging to the belligerent power which is mistress of the sea. The emphatic eulogies of his Britannic Majesty, on the great zeal and promptitude of his officers, and the forces which acted under their command are truly ludicrous. There were at St. Lucia 150 men, at Tobago 80, & at St. Pierre and Miquelon a corporal and 9 men."
NOTE THE SECOND. This note alludes to the King's notice of the state of Ireland respecting the late traitorous and atrocious conspiracy, and his Majesty's hope that his deluded subjects in that part of the United Kingdom are now convinced of their error.
"We cannot conceive why his Britannic Majesty should not mention the affairs of Hanover, and pass over in silence the importance which his ministers had formally promised in the House of Commons to assign to the mediation of Russia; but why should he fail to shew the same prudent reserve relative to Ireland, that unfortunate object of the interest and solicitude of all Europe? Was it necessary to insult that unhappy Hibernia, which for so many ages has witnessed in the midst of it, the incessant renewal of the massacres of St. Bartholomew? Here ambitious men covered with the Roman purple, butcher the protestants; their ambitious men, covered with the English purple, butcher the Roman Catholics! The code by which Ireland is at present governed, is more cruel, more atrocious, than that of Marat. Every Irishman might ask his Britannic Majesty, where are the deductio ? They are rather to be found in a government which supports its despotic authority by means of scaffolds, than among a people who claim liberty of conscience, the privilege of possessing property, and the rights which are attached to the dignity of human nature."
NOTE THE THIRD.
This note is intended as an answer to that part of the King's speech, in which he trusts that his deluded subjects in Ireland, having compared the advantages they derive from the protection of a free constitution with the condition of those countries which are under the dominion of the French government, they will cordially and zealously concur in resisting any attempt that may be made against the security and independence of the United Kingdom.
"This is really surprizing. Let his Britannic Majesty discover, if he can, in the four last years, in the course of which the revolution has been terminated, a single fact to support his arguments! let him mention through the immense
order his fleets and officers to allow us a free passage for a few days? We should see whether the result to the French would be discomfiture, confusion and disgrace! all those rhodomontades are at once unworthy of a great people, and of any man in his sober senses. Had the king of England obtained as many victories as Alexander, Hannibal, or Cæsar, such language would not be the less absurd. The delinencies of war, and the fate of battle, depend on a very trifling circumstance! so frequently does fortune prove blind and inconstant! But surely none but a person wholly deprived of his reason could affirm that the French army, which hitherto have not passed for cowards, should reap on the soil of Great Britain nothing but discomfiture, confusion and disgrace!
NOTE THE FOURTH.
Here on the happy pressure which his Majesty laments, must be unavoidably experienced by his people under the present circumstances, the French government say, "The war has already cost the English nation 500 millions of livres. On the supposition that it may last five or six years longer, England will have paid three or four hundred millions of additional expense for the Rock of Malta, which cost the knights of St. John 200 millions during the two last centuries."
NOTE THE FIFTH.
This note refers to the magnanimous declaration of his majesty, if the occasion should arise, to share the exertions and the dangers of his people in the defence of their constitution, their religion, their laws, and their independence.
"Is it the King of England, the head of a nation which rules the seas and sways all India, that holds this language? what! six months have scarcely expired since your Prince, blinded by the shadows of a base ambition, alarmed at the views of the ports of France and Holland, filled with fleets and armies, meditating the invasion of England, comes into the midst of you, and, in his terror, discovers to Europe and France the fluctuations of his Councils; and already hear him talk of marching at the head of his people to defend their religion, their laws, and their independence. What has reduced you to this extremity? Could you have held a different language if you had been defeated at Trebble, at Thrasmene, or at Cane? As yet the contest has scarcely begun; you have experienced no reverses; on the contrary, you have hitherto succeeded in every thing; and, notwithstanding, your cities are alarmed, and, your Councils require to be animated by the declarations of a Monarch, who professes his determination to die at the head of his people! Are the persons who suggest this inconsiderate language to him, unacquainted, that Harold the perjurer also placed himself at the head of his people."
Does it never occur to them that the illusions of high birth, the attribute of sovereign power and the purple robe, are in the moment of danger, but weak defences against the casualties of battle? On that tremendous day all men are equal. It is experience, it is the superiority of tactics, and the coolness of the general, that establishes the difference between the victors and the vanquished. A monarch, at 63 years old, who puts himself, for the first time, at the head of his troops, would on the day of battle, embarrass his own people, and increase the chances of success on the part of the enemy. The King of England talks of "the honor of his Crown, the maintenance of the constitution, their religion, their laws, and their independence." Was not the enjoyment of all those inestimable advantages secured by the treaty of Amiens? One would suppose, on reading this speech, that it was not the English ambassador who had the impudence to fix a period of only 36 hours to decide the question of war; and that on the contrary, it was the French ambassador who demanded, at London, that, in 36 hours, the religion of England should be changed, the constitution abolished, and the kingdom dishonored. Could not your religion, your constitution, and your honor be preserved without Lord Withworth's ultimatum ? What connection has the Rock of Malta and the island of Lampedosa with your religion, your laws, and your independence? It is not for human foresight to penetrate the designs of Providence, and to discover the measures it may sanction in its profound wisdom for the punishment of perjury, and the chastisement of those who create division, excite war, under the vain pretext of secret suggestions of paltry ambition, sport with human life; but we can venture to prophecy the event of this important contest—that you shall not retain Malta; that you shall not obtain Lampedosa; and that you will sign a treaty less advantageous to you than that of Amiens."
NOTE THE SIXTH.
This note is caused by the expression of his majesty's firm conviction that, should the enemy, contrary to all just expectation, attempt to execute their presumptuous threat of invading our coasts, the consequence will be to them discomfiture, confusion and disgrace.
"Discomfiture, confusion and disgrace!"—If the king of England is so confident of success, why does he not
order his fleets and officers to allow us a free passage for a few days? We should see whether the result to the French would be discomfiture, confusion and disgrace! all those rhodomontades are at once unworthy of a great people, and of any man in his sober senses. Had the king of England obtained as many victories as Alexander, Hannibal, or Cæsar, such language would not be the less absurd. The delinencies of war, and the fate of battle, depend on a very trifling circumstance! so frequently does fortune prove blind and inconstant! But surely none but a person wholly deprived of his reason could affirm that the French army, which hitherto have not passed for cowards, should reap on the soil of Great Britain nothing but discomfiture, confusion and disgrace!
"As to the presumptuous threats of which the king of England accuses his enemies, it would certainly puzzle his ministers to quote them. When did the first consul, who has the sole direction of all the military dispositions, say that it was his intention to fend an army into England? He has hitherto said only that there shall be an encampment at the Texel, Ostend, St. Omer, Brest, and Bayonne; and the army has been encamped accordingly. Cannot, then, during war, troops be assembled in camps, without executing presumptuous threats?"
"You admit that the French may penetrate into the heart of England. On this supposition you offer to your people the defence of your head and hand, and you assure them, in a prophetic tone that the consequence will be to the French army discomfiture, confusion and disgrace—Granted. But what would you gain by it?—The advantages which you say you will derive from it will be "the glory of surmounting the present difficulties,"—it was much easier not to occasion such difficulties; "of repelling immediate danger." It was much safer to expose yourselves to that danger; "of fixing the safety and independence of the kingdom on the basis of acknowledged strength,"—but the treaty of Amiens had fixed the safety and independence of the kingdom of Great Britain: "the result of its own tried energy and resources," what! who ever doubted that your people who rule both hemispheres, are rich, brave and full of energy?"
"These expressions, "its own tried energy and resources," should indeed be heard over all Europe. Thus it appears that you fight, merely to shew that you can fight. You load your people with taxes to shew that you are rich. You inflict calamities on the excelling generation, to prove that energy which no person was desirous of disputing with you. Europe will decide whether such sentiments are the result of greatness, of weakness, of mind, of wisdom, or of folly."
"But were we to admit, from the inconstancy of fortune, and the vicissitudes of war, that the French army might reap in the heart of Great Britain discomfiture and disgrace; admit, in your turn, that an army of veterans, every soldier of which has braved death in so many battles, and conducted by men whom Europe holds in some degree of estimation, may, by its bravery or its evolutions, carry into the midst of you disgrace, confusion and discomfiture. What would be the advantage to France? Not that of surmounting present difficulties—she experiences none; not of repelling immediate danger—in the present contest there is no immediate danger for her; not that of fixing the safety and independence of the state on the basis of acknowledged strength, the result of its own tried energy and resources—her safety, her independence, her force, her own resources, and her energy, are as evident as that the sun shines; they require no trial to prove their existence."
"The consequence would be, that she would wrest from you that trident acquired by 50 years of success, the valor of your ancestors, and preserved by the duplicity of your Cabinet: to avenge that unfortunate country, Ireland, to restore it to the rank of nations, to shed on that land, moistened with blood and with tears, the light of happier and more tranquil days. It would be—"
"This speech will be read with attention by all Europe, which will be struck by one extraordinary expression in it. What! the ministers of Great Britain are silly enough to cause their master to declare, on a solemn occasion, that on the fate of one battle depends the existence of that Colossus which crushes both worlds. If on the event of one battle the preservation of a single one of the newly conquered departments of France depended, we are well convinced that she would have made peace, that she would not have resisted your unjust pretensions, and that she would have ceded Malta. Such conduct would have been consistent with the duties imposed on all those, whether chiefs or ministers, whose determinations influence the fate of nations."
REMARK. We have thought it our duty to give to the public a faithful translation of these important papers, and we may say, with truth and exultation, that there
is not a man in this country, nor even one among his Majesty's deluded subjects in Ireland, who will not feel for the sentiments they express those mingled emotions of abhorrence, indignation & contempt, which they are solely calculated to inspire. We have inserted them for the purpose of giving to the country an additional proof, if that were wanting, of the vanity, insolence, perfidy and falsehood, which characterize the enemy with whom we have to contend; but as to the task of considering them separately and entering into any refutation of them, it would be an undertaking no less degrading than unnecessary.
ADDRESS Of the Republican Electors of the state of New York.
By the Committee of Publication and Correspondence, appointed by a General Meeting of the Republican Members of the Legislature and other respectable citizens to the number of 157, convened from every part of the state, and held at the city of Albany, on the 22d day of February last.
FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS.
Since the nominations of the honorable MORGAN LEWIS as candidate for Governor, and the honorable JOHN BROOME as candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, were submitted to your consideration, circumstances have arisen, which in our opinions justify, if they do not require, that we should again present to your impartial view, some momentous considerations in relation to the approaching election. The virtuous and peaceful citizens of every description cannot but regard with regret, that every call upon them to exercise the first and most valuable rights of freemen, should be the signal to action for those malignant passions which degrade the dignity of the human character. With whatever caution men are selected to fill the most important offices, no sooner are they recommended to the suffrages of the people, than calumny, misrepresentation and falsehood, the most audacious, are employed to lace-rate and destroy their public and private characters.
It is our duty to caution you against such artifices; to warn you against lending a ready ear to falsehoods, engendered for the express purpose of deceiving and misleading you. Rest assured, that your republican representatives would not have recommended to you for the first office in the state, a man either unknown to them, or who had not all those qualifications which the exalted station requires. We trust that in the discharge of a duty so sacred, both as regards you and ourselves, our proceedings have been deliberate, and that in a question involving the dearest interests of our country, we were sedulous to present to you a man, whose character, whose services, whose republicanism are above suspicion and without reproach.
Feeling an anxious solicitude to see that course pursued which will not destroy the preponderance acquired by republicanism, we ask your attention to a few serious and interesting reflections. In giving our preference to Morgan Lewis , rather than to Aaron Burr , we have suffered no personal considerations to influence us; we selected and recommended to you the former from a full conviction that his political sentiments were in unison with our own, and if elected, that he would act in harmony with the government of the union.
It is known to you, that Mr. Burr has long been publicly accused of intriguing with federalists at the last presidential election, to supplant that illustrious statesman, who now presides with such singular advantage to his country over the affairs of the nation. Whether these accusations be with or without foundation, it is not for us to pronounce; suffice it to say, that at the meeting of the senators and representatives in congress, Mr. Burr did not receive a single vote as Vice-President, for the next election. We are ignorant that he resigned his pretensions, and therefore cannot but view this omission to nominate him, as high evidence that suspicions exist to Mr. Burr's prejudice on the ground of republicanism—suffice it to say, that Mr. Burr has recently had resort to the laws of his country, to test the correctness of the charges against him, but at a period so late as to preclude an investigation until after the election. Which, therefore, these suspicions exist, and when they operate to exclude him from the Vice Presidency; and whilst the result of a legal investigation is unknown, it appeared to us wholly improper, and jeopardizing your dearest interests, to recommend him to your notice. If Mr. Burr is guiltless, and shall evince his innocence, we would be among the first to proclaim it; but until that period shall arrive, we conceived it most prudent to select a character on whom suspicion had not attached, and whom we know to be above it.
Under these solemn convictions, we deprecate the support of Mr. Burr by our republican fellow citizens, as fraught with the destruction to principles we revere and hold sacred. It has long been a maxim among our political adversaries
"to divide and conquer;" This maxim we now see them putting into practice; look, fellow-citizens, at the supporters of Mr. Burr—what political sect do they generally compose? Are they not federalists? The answer is obvious—consider well, if Mr. Burr should be elected by such means, what character his administration would assume. Can you believe that a man who would owe his election to the professed enemies of your national and state administration, would himself be cordial to those administrations? Do you believe that a man elevated to the Chief Magistracy by our political opponents, would cherish and patronize republican men or republican principles?
There is, fellow citizens, a plain course to be pursued: Persevere in the support of Morgan Lewis, Esq. and the ascendancy we have so nobly acquired, will be maintained: then indeed our republican principles and our republican institutions will be preserved and perpetuated.
To descend to an answer to the innumerable falsehoods and misrepresentations with which your ears are continually assailed, against the republican candidate, would be tiresome, and is certainly unnecessary. Call to mind these hackneyed artifices on former occasions: what crime has not been charged by the same men, and with the same end in view, against Mr. Jefferson—than whom a greater patriot, or more enlightened philanthropist exists not. Call to mind the calumnies propagated against your venerable Clinton, whose integrity and patriotism have endeared him to his country.
An attempt has been made, and will be persisted in, to alarm you against the support of judge Lewis, arising from his poverty & his connexions. On these objections we deem it necessary to submit to you a few remarks. A moderate competence, sufficient to place a man above dependence, surely cannot be a solid ground of objection: on the contrary, it affords a security which we cannot hope for in one who se fortune is yet to be made. But where is the evidence of immoderate wealth? If we look at his habits of life, it is not thence to be inferred: for we find him devoting the time he can spare from his official duties to the cultivation of a farm.
He is connected with a numerous family, since when has this become a crime or an objection in a country whose strength and riches depend on its population? The list of offices with their emoluments, which has been published for mischievous purposes, is not only exaggerated, but strained far, very far, beyond the truth. Connexions have been stated which do not exist; emoluments have been detailed, not found in fact; and, to swell the list, offices depending on the free gift of yourselves have been pressed into the service. This, fellow-citizens, is a state device, and it proves any thing, it is, that a cause which requires such feeble support is incapable of better. We live in a country free beyond example; and whilst we hold, that merit alone ought to be the test for office, we can never yield our assent that it ceases to have its claims because the individual may be connected with this or that family.
To enumerate the blessings we enjoy under our present governments, would be to suppose you incapable of discerning what is universally felt and acknowledged. Will you risk your present enjoyments by severing yourselves from your republican friends, and thus yield the result of all your struggles into the hands from which you so nobly wrested abused power?
We have thus performed our portion of duty by warning you against the evils that may impend. In justice to the intelligence and patriotism of our fellow-citizens in general, we feel happy in discovering, that they have correctly discriminated; that they have seen the dangers we have in part exhibited, and are determined to with stand them.
Fellow-citizens, ARISE ONCE MORE IN YOUR STRENGTH, AND REPUBLICANISM WILL TRIUMPH.

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, APRIL 21.
From the Boston Democrat, of April 11.
MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.
By accounts received in town on Monday, the aggregate number for each candidate, from 160 towns, stood thus, viz. for Mr. Strong 16,100, and for Mr. Sullivan 13,066.—But the accounts received yesterday, are more favorable to the republican cause.
New Hampshire election.
By a gentleman of respectability, who left Portsmouth last Saturday morning, we learn, that by the return of votes, from all the towns except four small ones, there remained for Mr. LANGDON, a majority of TWENTY-SEVEN; and that the votes of those four towns, would also be in his favor.—It is likewise considered as certain, that there will be a Democratic majority in the Senate and Council of the House of Representatives.
From the Boston Morning Chronicle.
The following democratic republican senators are probably chosen by the people:
Berkshire—Hon. John Bacon, Esq. and the hon. Barnabas Bidwell, Esq. Bristol—Hon. Josiah Dean, Esq. and Nathaniel Morton, jun. Esq. Dukes Co. &c.—Hon. Isaac Coffin. Barnstable—Hon. John Dillingham. Plymouth—Albert Smith, Esq. and no choice of the other candidate.
York—Hon. John Woodman, Esq. and Joseph Bartlett, Esq.
Kennebec—Hon. John Chandler, Esq.
Norfolk—Hon. John Howe, Esq. and hon. John Ellis, Esq.
Middlesex—Hon. Jonathan Maynard, Aaron Hill, Wm. Hildreth, and Wm. Hall, Esq's.
Essex—The federal ticket has succeeded by a majority of upwards of four hundred; last year it was three times as large.
"There is the greatest reason to believe, that we shall have a greater number of sound, unadulterated republicans, in the ensuing senate of Massachusetts, than has been known since the adoption of the new constitution of the state.—It is pleasurable to see how rapidly the electors are awaking from the effects of the aristocratic opiate; they are now rubbing their eyes, and will shortly see the path of republican independence clear before them."
The rapid growth of Republicanism in New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, and Rhode-Island, within the three last years.
These are the states, which are vulgarly called "New-England." These are the states, on which spurious federalism has relied, to exterminate true republicanism from the face of the earth, by the force of prejudice and the influence of a prostitute Machiavelism, which sticks at no means to accomplish its ends. These are the states, in which certain demagogues of dissolute morals, and more corrupt politics, still dare to threaten a dissolution of the federal union; although they well know, that if to morrow, what they have been pleased to call New-England, should be dissolved from the sister states, the inhabitants would not only bleed at every pore, as the first and immediate effects of this unnatural schism—but, that the people of these states, including New-York, would form new statistical constitutions, and a new federal compact to unite them, more democratic or popular than even the present; popular as our national and local establishments are now universally allowed to be.
Of these states, Rhode-Island and Vermont are now completely reformed, in opinions and practice. They have acceded to the congressional amendment, and are thus become members of the now truly federal constellation, and are indissolubly united to the other eleven states, which are incontestibly attached to the disignating principle, in the future elections of the first magistrate, as an indispensable requisite to ensure the uninterrupted continuance of peace and prosperity to this immense and encreasing empire.
In respect to New-Hampshire, every thing is as promising as it can be wished. The election of governor is yet uncertain; but the parties are so nearly balanced, that the new fashioned anti-federalism, which modestly assumes the veil of Federalism, is at least neutralized. It is muzzled by the friends of the Union, and can do no harm—probably it is far better; for there can be scarcely a remaining doubt that a decided majority of democratic republicans are elected to the house of representatives.
As to Massachusetts, we must drop a tear upon the unfortunate versatility of human opinion; that this most excellent and truly republican state, in habits, manners and property, should not be found now, as of old, at its post with a leading and commanding influence: an
example to the other states, for its disinterested exertions in the great cause of rational liberty, civil and religious—and a terror to the votaries of despotism, as well in the Old as in the new World. But in this illustrious commonwealth, enlightened republicanism is, notwithstanding, making a decided and very rapid advance to those political establishments, which include the peace, liberty and safety of the great whole, as their primary and most essential objects.
The habits of Massachusetts are not easily shaken. Ten years of strenuous opposition, were required to shew, and to convince the people, that Hutchinson was an enemy of their rights and liberty; and that the British government was pursuing coolly and systematically a plan of absolute colonial despotism.—But when once convinced, the people never receded one step, but were determined to perish in the public ruin. So it will soon be here; when just sentiments are once re-established, they will remain, confirmed by the united power of habit and principle, never again to be shaken by force or fraud.
We have correct returns of the votes for governor from 112 towns, including Boston. In these towns last year, there were 6,621 votes for the republican candidate, and 12,271 for Governor Strong. This year judge Sullivan, in the same towns, has 10,263 votes, and the federal candidate 12,151—making a difference in favour of republicanism of nearly four thousand votes. Omitting Boston in the calculation, the country towns have given a lank majority of five hundred and fifty-seven votes in favour of governor Strong!
New-Hampshire Election.
It is now almost certain that colonel Langdon is elected. A gentleman who left Portsmouth last Saturday, informs us that returns had been received from all the towns in the state except four, and Mr. Langdon had then a majority of twenty-seven.
The Massachusetts Repertory says—The latest returns give governor Strong 13,064, and Mr. Sullivan 9,795.
New-York, April 13.
The ship Rising States, capt. Shafer, which arrived yesterday in 37 days from Amsterdam, sailed from New Dieppe on the 6th ult. but brings no intelligence that would confirm the reports lately circulated of a conspiracy against the Fink Consul having been discovered in France. The French general Marmont had arrived in Holland, to take the command of the troops intended for the invasion of England; the gun boats, &c. appeared to be ready, and no new preparations were going forward connected with the menaced invasion. The people, however talked coolly about it, without forming an opinion as to the time it would take place.
New-York, April 16.
Intelligence by the brig Eliza, which arrived on Saturday, in 16 days from Havanna, mentions that a day or two before the brig failed the French gen. Lavoilet demanded 40,000 dollars from the governor of Havanna for the payment of the French troops, and received for an answer that the demand could not be complied with, as no orders to that effect had been received from the Spanish government. The general then declared that he would not be accountable for the conduct of his people, and in consequence of this declaration the Spanish troops were put under arms with orders to take up and confine every foreigner without any distinction; and they were executing these orders when the Eliza failed.

15,000 tickets at 1 dollar each, 150,000 N. B. Prizes subject to a deduction of 15 per cent.
This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purposes of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dolls. and 2,500 dolls. in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorise it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
