[The following article is translated for the N. York Mercantile Advertiser, from the Official Gazette of St. Domingo. It contains some regulations recently adopted for the government of the colony; and we presume, will be interesting to many of our readers.]
The General in Chief, considering that the citizens who possess landed property, commercial or mechanical, being more particularly interested in the observance of order, owe to their country and to themselves to bear arms for the maintenance of public tranquility and the protection of property; that in the colonies where every one is attached to occupations or to a profession which absorbs all his time, the citizens cannot be called to a permanent military service, but only to a temporary concurrence with the troops of the line, orders as follows:
There shall be formed at the Cape a National Guard composed of a company of Grenadiers, a company of Chasseurs, eight companies of Fusiliers forming a battalion, and two companies of Dragoons.
The Commandant of the place shall cause a list to be made out of all the citizens who are to bear arms. In that list shall be comprised the following denomination of citizens of all colours from the age of 16 years to 50:
 1. Owner or tenant of an habitation of 50 carreaux at least, or a house at the Cape bringing an income equivalent to 700 francs.  2. A Merchant.  3. A retailer, paying house rent of at least 500 francs a year.  4. The principal of a work shop. Journeymen who are necessitated to work for their living, they and their family are not to make a part of the National Guard. 
The above mentioned list is to be closed on the 24th of Sept. and immediately laid
before the General in Chief.
The chief of battalion, TOUSARD, is named commandant of the National Guard at the Cape.
After the formation of the National Guard, and of the review made of it by the General in Chief, every individual not belonging thereto, & at whose house there shall be found arms or ammunition, shall suffer death.
The National Guard shall not furnish for the ordinary service more than a fifteenth part of its force. In extraordinary cases it shall be entirely at the disposal of the Commandant of the place. In such cases the cavalry may be employed out of the city. The infantry can in no case be employed but within the city or its precincts.
This arreffe is common to all the towns and parishes wherever the general or divisions commandants shall judge it expedient to apply the same.
At the Cape and at Port-au Prince only, the commandants, adjutant-majors, & adjutants of the National Guard shall have a right to receive pay or rations. The General in Chief will grant honorable rewards to the citizens of the National Guard who shall have distinguished themselves by good services or brilliant actions.
The national guard being armed for the defence of property, they cannot be displaced from the territory of their communes. In case of invasion by the enemy they shall unite with the nearest armed force. When tranquility prevails, they shall only be subjected to the service of inspection.
PROCLAMATION.
The Captain-General of Guadalupe and its dependencies, to the army of Guadalupe and to the inhabitants of the colony.
Death has just snatched from us General Richpanse, he who had preserved the colony of Guadalupe from the rebels, and added new laurels to those which he had gathered on the field of Hoehenlinden. The brave men whom he had commanded, & whom he had uniformly led to victory, regret in him a friend, who had ever given them an example of ever military virtue; while the inhabitants of this colony, who have so long suffered under the system of usurpation, will weep for him who would have restored them to happiness and prosperity.
Recalled by the First Consul to the duties of Captain-General of Guadalupe, I was more than satisfied with the reparation made to the legitimate authority; and I was about resigning my authority into the hands of General Richpanse, when death deprived us of him.
In this painful situation, and consulting only my duties, I have determined to retain the authority confided to me by the First Consul. With the aid of the army I feel certain of fulfilling all his intentions, and of preserving the peace of the colony, which is no longer in a state of siege.
Citizen Lescallier will perform all the duties of Colonial Prefect, conformably to the decree of the 26 Germinal, year 9, and will maintain order in all parts of the administration. Thus, let all the citizens rest assured, that the valor of the army will secure to them repose and tranquility. A wise organization will repair the ravages of that war to which our success has put an end; for myself, I shall be satisfied, if I can unite all minds and all hearts, in cherishing the principles of the government delegated to me. LA CROSSE.
Discourse pronounced by General La Crosse at the tomb of the general in chief RICHEPANSÉ, translated from the official papers of Guadalupe.
GENERALS, COMMANDERS, OFFICERS, AND SOLDIERS,
This day is to all of us a day of sorrow. He who had constantly conducted you to victory, general RICHEPANSÉ—is no more! but his actions, his courage, and his zeal for the glory of the republic, will make him live eternally in the heart of every Frenchman.
You who have followed him to the field of honor, and who have partaken his dangers, you have seen him at Hoehenlinden pierce the enemies' battalions, uniting the coolness of reflection with the impetuosity of courage, and by the boldest manœuvres gain and partake with you one of the most brilliant portions of the glory of that memorable day.
Even with deeds like these he was not satisfied, but came with you to conquer
the colony of Guadalupe, to restore it to the dominion of France, and to avenge on the audacious rebels the legitimate authority they had despised. It is by his talents and your bravery that he has tranquilized Guadalupe, and restored to the wretched inhabitants the hope of regaining their antient prosperity.
Honored with the confidence of the First Consul, I shall find in fulfilling my duties as captain general, the double satisfaction of rendering justice to your military virtues, your love of discipline, and at the same time of making you witnesses of my zeal for the public good.
LA CROSSE,
November 3.
One of the most alarming Fires that has ever happened in this city, within our recollection, broke out last evening, between 8 & 9 o'clock, in a stable in Bridge-street, between Whitchall & Broad-streets, almost surrounded with wooden buildings. The wind blowing fresh from the southwest, the devouring element made its way through Bridge-street into Stone-street with uncontrollable fury; and in less than an hour and a half the whole block, consisting of about 50 buildings, mostly dwelling houses, were either burnt, pulled down, or gutted. Pieces of shingles, in a light blaze, were carried in every direction by the wind, frequently lodging on the roofs of houses at the distance of half a mile from the scene of conflagration and threatened destruction to a great part of the city.
We are unable at present to state either the origin of the fire, or the extent of the injury individually or collectively sustained, as the flames were not entirely got under when this paper was put to press.
Amongst the sufferers, a list of whom we were not able to procure last evening, were Mr. A. Carroll, Col. Boyd, Mr. Peter Mesier, Mr. James Cheetham, Mr. Rynier Suydam, and Mr. Cammeyer, a Baker, whose situation is peculiarly distressing, having a wife and ten small children, one of them at the breast, and having lost all his property, the whole earnings of his whole life. The uncommon distress to which himself and his family are reduced, will, we trust, awaken the benevolence of our fellow-citizens.
We continue to receive very distressing accounts of the situation of St. Domingo. The following particulars are communicated to us by a respectable merchant of this city, who received them per the brig Hannah , in a letter from his correspondent at Port Republican, dated 29th September.
"Such is our present situation (which certainly cannot last long) that the consumption of merchandise is confined within the boundaries of the city, the outside being entirely in a state of insurrection. For self-preservation we are compelled to perform very hard service, and are now employed in doing the severest duties of a soldier, at the same time that we are crushed with imposts. The taxation of the last contribution was secret, and is not to be known until the collection is enforced at the point of the bayonet."
"The National Guard has just begun the campaign. The insurgents appear daily at our posts, and the neighbouring places are attacked with unparalleled fury. We are in want of troops, and a great number of them, otherwise the colony will once more become a desert: for many people, fearing the prolongation of this disastrous war, are making preparations for quitting it."
Letters received in town yesterday from the American Agent at the Havana, confirm the account respecting the exclusive privilege granted by the King of Spain to the Count Jaruco, for the introduction of 140,000 barrels of flour. It is further permitted, to be imported from the United States, but under Spanish colours. The house of Hernandez & Co. of the Havana are the Count's agents in this business, and had advanced him a loan of 140,000 dollars and 100 negroes, in anticipation of the expected profits. Flour was at 14 dollars, and not expected to be lower, although there were about 21,000 barrels in port.
Some that had been introduced from Vera Cruz, had cost there 21 dollars.
The supreme Council of the Island had recommended the introduction of Lumber from the United States; but the Governor and Intendant had not given their final consent; it was, however, confidently expected to take place in a few days.

Extract from a French periodical Publication.
THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
If it is true, as Rousseau alleges, that it is only during the time of elections that the people in a representative government enjoys its sovereignty, it is no less so that on these occasions, the people, like all other sovereigns, is surrounded with snares and dangers. It is then that, proud in the possession of power, it delivers itself over to excesses, it is unjust and insolent; and most commonly rejects or bears down the man of modest merit, to exalt the audacious intriguer. The spectacle which England holds out to us at the present moment, makes us more strongly than ever perceive the truth of these observations.
The King having, according to the right which he derives from the constitution, dissolved the Parliament, the electors were convoked to nominate a new one. We in France can scarcely form an idea of the general commotion which this news occasioned throughout the kingdom.—Votes were publicly requested in the news papers, for the different candidates; large sums of money were distributed, sumptuous feasts offered to the voracity of the electors; each candidate presented himself with an army of his adherents, their friends, and often themselves warmly maintained the right which they had to the preference; and hence arose disputes, which frequently end in bloodshed.
Would a spectator of such transactions believe that a regulation, which has the force of a law, enacts that if a sum of money, or any remuneration, has been given or promised to an elector, he who offers it, and he who accepts it, both equally incur a fine of 500l. sterling, and become incapable of giving their votes, or possessing any office in the town or county where the crime has been committed? It is true that the law adds, unless that, before they are convicted, they shall discover others equally guilty with themselves; this does away their own guilt. For, where the guilt is general, the application of punishment becomes impossible.
It has been said, that the English are well aware of the defects of these elections; but that out of respect for ancient usages, they are unwilling to introduce a better mode. But if abuses have entirely destroyed the ancient institution, it is no longer the law itself which they respect, it is only its phantom. Thanks, however, to the guineas liberally distributed by the Members of the former Parliament, they will almost all be reelected.
Alexandria Advertiser.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8.
In the advertisement in the first page of this days paper, signed Ludwell Lee, for the sale of Jessie Taylor's property, after the first place where Pitt Street is mentioned, read, seventy feet instead of ' twenty feet .'
Errata. —In the publication of the supplement to Mr. Wolcott's Address, which appeared in the Alexandria Advertiser of the 27th October, the following material error escaped us. In the 4th paragraph, speaking of the Navy expenditures, it is said, that "The committee reported the "expenditures for the Navy Department, "from the establishment of the department in 1798, to the 31st of March "1801, inclusively ," &c. The word inclusively ought to be exclusively .
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, of 7th September to a respectable merchant in Boston.
"We have little to add to what we had the pleasure to write to you on the 20th Aug. except that an order has just been published, prohibiting the entry of Flour after the 1st January next. For the moment, this does not affect our prices much; but may be expected to cause the article to rise during the months of Nov. and Dec. It will also have a good effect upon the price of wheat during all the spring, and we think 1 3 4 to 1 7 8 per bushel, on board, may be counted upon. Our second crop of Indian Corn, far from turning out plentiful as the first, has almost entirely failed. The present price is from 3 4 to 7 8 of a dollar per bushel, on board, and we have no doubt that it will be from 1 to 1 1 2 from the month of January to that of May, or beginning of June; later than which it ought not to arrive. Fifth will also be wanted: but the price depends entirely upon the quantity which may be brought from New England. Good Pipe Staves are in demand, and would command from 90 to 105 dollars per 1200."
COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman dated Shelburne, (Nova-Scotia) Oct. 18, to the editor of the Salem Register.
"If the hue and cry is yet up respecting the detention & seizure of American vessels in the Rio de la Plata, the following information may possibly serve to abate its fury in some measure:
"Mr. George Ross, merchant, of this place, a few days ago received via Lisbon and London, a letter from his brother, Robert Ross, dated St. Catherines, a Portuguese port on the Brazil, March 1, 1802, advising him of his arrival there, in six weeks from the Cape of Good Hope, and in consequence of Montevideo, in the river Plata, having been declared a free port to all nations, he should not return to the Cape as he at first intended, but should proceed to Montevideo with his ship (an English) and procure either a freight, or purchase a cargo of tallow for London.
"This Mr. Robert Ross is esteemed the most intelligent man in Nova-Scotia; is master of the French & Spanish languages, for the latter has been the sworn interpreter at the Cape these two years past. If you have nothing later than the above from that quarter, please to give it to the public thro' your Register."
LOUISIANA—AGAIN.
Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated October 1.
"This port will continue open to Americans until the publication of the Peace, which is not expected to take place shortly, such is the continual delay attending our public affairs. We had an arrival from Spain yesterday, but not a word officially, relative to our Frenchification. Private letters now state positively that the Republicans are coming; and even go so far as to assure us that we shall receive no previous advice of the change."
We understand that an alteration has lately been made in the naval uniform of our midshipmen, not corresponding with the republican simplicity or boasted economy of our government. The boys are to wear gold laced coats , cocked hats, and hangers, at least as long as those worn by Bonaparte's life guard. Would it not have been paying an higher compliment to our worthy ally, to have adopted his uniform altogether? [Phila. pap.]
Paine was yesterday arrested for a debt of fifty guineas, lent him when poor, defective and imprisoned in Paris. It appears that a short time previous to this apostle's embarking for America, his liberal benefactor, called upon him, knowing he had from some quarter received considerable sums of money, and requested payment. Paine not only at first plead his incapacity of making the return, but finally denied having ever borrowed any such sum on his own account—adding to his other jacobin
virtues, that of INGRATITUDE! We have not understood who became his security—but should he be distressed, it is recommended to his affectionate friend at Washington, to apply to the collector of Richmond or some other collector, for the amount, which, as it has never been lodged in the treasury, is at the president's disposal, and can as constitutionally be appropriated by him to the relief of Paine as of Callender. Squire Lincoln can have no objection to such assistance to a fellow abuser of the Clergy.
(Balt. Fed. Gaz.)
ETYMOLOGICAL.
The Jacobin Gazettes seem of late resolved to go by book , and, therefore, they quote, unmercifully, from their deep reading in the Dictionary , what is Aristocracy, and Democracy, and a Republic. The learning that is thus poured into their small noddles must, if it be more than a jill, run out, for there is no such thing as making a pint bottle hold a quart. To assist our brother DUANE with a drop of learning, as much as he can take at once, we recommend to him, this historical fact, as a curious topic among the antiquities of Clonnelly; that the noble and privileged order among the Romans was called patrician . By the strange revolution of time, the term Patrician, after implying office and rank, was assumed by the vanity of the common people as a surname. Instead of the latin appellation PATRICIUS, belonging uniformly to some great man, as ÆTIUS, the Patrician, who commanded the armies of VALENTINIA the 3d, and who was the great antagonist of ATILLA, the King of the Huns, it happened, ten to one, that some poor wandering Plebian, with a pack at his back, was called PATRICIUS. Hence it was, that St. PATRICIUS, or St. PATRICK, whose head was cut off in France, swam over to Ireland, carrying his own head, do you see Mr. Duane, in his teeth, and there, as every body knows, he peopled all Ireland with his own hards. He was their famous apostle, and left such a great reputation behind him, that every Irishman ever since is proud of being called the son of St. PATRICK. Hence it is, that the name of PATRICIUS, or PATRICK, or PADDY, has become so common in Ireland.
As DUANE treads so reverently on the ground of etymology, we foresee a difficulty in his learning and logic. Demos does not, he says, mean demon , nor, as it is maliciously pretended, Demonarchy , but good wholesome knock me down Democracy , but, if PATRICK means PATRICIAN, that is aristocracy, and a foul spot and blemish in the glory of our imported Patrician Patriots . But they, dear honies, are not to blame for what these aristocratic book-makers have put into print, so long too before they were born, without letting them know almost or quite nothing at all at all about it, and the Naturalization Law, moreover, provides, that the new citizen shall renounce his nobility.
We do not, therefore, think DUANE's case will be so very hard for him to make out, if he will but let his Dictionary alone, and stick to the Law that the Patrician SMILEY has made to encourage "oppressed humanity" to break jail, and take refuge here.
(Palladium.)
It is a rule of sound policy as well as of true morality "never to do evil that good may come of it," since in all instances the "measure we mete to others will necessarily be "meted to us again." Widely variant from this rule is the ruling maxim of the followers of Weisaupt. With Philosophers of the new school "the means always justify the end." Under the influence of this mischeivous principle it was, that all the horrors of the French Revolution were perpetrated. Heaven forbid this jacobinical maxim should ever obtain currency in America; yet that, to a certain degree, it has obtained in practice, is evident from recent incidents, as well as from some of a remoter date. To what principle but this can we trace the slanders that were uttered and circulated against the first President of the United States? And from what, but the love of power and emolument, without regard to the means by which they are obtained, have sprung the efforts against the Christian Religion, and the calumnies against its ministers, that are made or propagated by a certain class of people among us?
The same principle also it is, that has decided the event of the late election for
Member of Congress in Delaware. Had true policy, law or equity, been observed, we have a right to conclude, that the fate of that election would have been favorable to the federal candidate. To admit a band of newly imported patriots to decide an election of the utmost importance to the honor of the United States, and to the national interest, may suit the present views of the party in power. To effect the removal of a man from the national legislature, whose talents and knowledge render him a formidable adversary to schemes of little, partial or ruinous policy, may seem, with party politicians , to justify any means calculated to effect to desirable an end; but to the real American —the honest patriot , this precedent will be regarded as a melancholy departure from true policy and the national interest. So jealous were the ancient Athenians of the right of suffrage, that they punished with Death any attempt by an alien to exercise it.
But our American politicians of the new school , with views widely different from those which their chief entertained when he wrote the "Notes on Virginia," now think it safe and expedient to make citizens by the gros , provided it will but serve their present purposes. Yet what a clamor have we heard for years past about British influence, because persons of property and character from Great-Britain, who had, by a legal term of residence, become entitled to, were permitted to enjoy the right of citizens—and what a clamor should we again hear, (and very justly) were the lex talionis (the law of retaliation) exercised on the citizens of Delaware. If a body of foreigners , well disposed toward the federal interest, were suddenly converted into American citizens , for electioneering purposes, when should we see an end of the reproaches on the federal interest, which such a measure would produce. Yet with what complacency do the Jeffersonian party enjoy the triumph which they have gained in Delaware, by means which law, principle and policy, equally condemn.
Let them then enjoy their triumph—it will probably be of short duration. The period of another election will soon return, when probably cargoes of fresh imported Irish patriotism may not be at hand to turn the balance against federal integrity .
