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.
Richmond, March 24th—tf 53 Tickets to be had of Robert Pollard Esq. John Brockenbrough, jun. Wm. Price (Regd.) Samuel Pleasants, jun. and William Prichard.

THOUGHTS on the LIMITS to which the RIGHT of SUFFRAGE ought to be extended.
A subject of considerable importance, that of the right of suffrage, has lately attracted the attention of the public.—Considering the interesting principle it involves, and its effects upon political institutions, and through them on the general happiness of the nation, it has not yet engaged that attention which it merits. With a view to invite such attention, and with the hope that, after a full and deliberate investigation before the tribunal of the public, it will be fixed to what degree this right ought to be extended, and how it shall be adequately secured, I claim the patience of the reader. Having prescribed to myself an abstinence from every partiality or prejudice of party, I have nothing to address to minds habitually accustomed to exclude all discussion or information that does not square with deep rooted error. Approaching the subject with sincere impressions of its vast importance to the future peace of my country, I abjure all personal invective or party allusion. My sole aim is truth; and if I shall succeed in reaching this, by the exercise of reason, and be so fortunate as to gain the dispassionate approbation of the unbiased, I shall have my reward.
The elucidation of the subject requires two views.
First—The extent to which the right of suffrage should be carried.
Secondly—The manner in which it may be best secured.
On the first point considerable diversity of opinion exists, more perhaps the result of accident and local prejudice, than of judgment or deliberation. In examining the constitutions and laws of the several states, we shall find no common principle which appears to have regulated the various rules which have been adopted. No great light can, therefore, be expected from this quarter. Nor is it known that the eminent writers on government concur in any common principle. By them, a due investigation does not seem to have been made; nor is there the least probability that it soon will be. We are not to look for political light to Europe whose horizon is involved in perpetual clouds. The discussion, whatever speculative curiosity it might excite, would have no practical application to her political institutions, unless to call down their vengeance upon the freedom that impeached their correctness. It necessarily follows that we must trust to the light of our own minds.
It is universally agreed among us that government is instituted for the common good of all; and that its legitimate objects are the protection of life, liberty, and property. It is admitted that the poor man, without property, has, the same right to claim from government the protection of his life and liberty, as the rich man has to claim protection of his property.
Another established proposition is, that the only good government among men by that in which they govern themselves. This is the essence of a republican government, that which distinguishes it from all others, and that which renders it a free government.—Without this feature, it would not establish or secure the liberty of the citizen. Not that there might not be a different system of government, which should, in the first instance, by the enactment of wise laws, secure civil rights; but because there would be no security for their continuance, if the power that established them were not under the full control of the people, who alone are interested in the entire preservation of their own rights, and who alone are able to protect them.
Viewing the protection of life, liberty and property as the great legitimate ends of government, and self-government as the only effectual means of securing them, it will appear that universal suffrage is recommended by the following considerations.
All governments that have heretofore existed for any considerable length of time, without this principle, have failed to secure the above great object; while those containing it have invariably succeeded.
That all governments that have heretofore existed for any considerable length of time, without this principle, have failed to protect life, liberty and property, can admit of but little dispute in the minds of men acquainted with the present state of the world. Throughout the entire extent of Europe, and of
the other quarters of the globe, so far as we are acquainted with them, there exists no government excepting our own founded on this principle; and throughout this vast extent of country embracing more than ninety-nine hundredths of the whole population of the earth, there is no government to be found that protects the life, liberty and property of the subject. It is usual on this topic for the advocates of a narrow suffrage to refer to the situation of Great Britain; and to insist that under the government of that country, where the right of suffrage is very contracted, there is enjoyed the fullest protection of life, liberty and property. It will not be denied, that in that country there exists a greater protection of these ingredients of human happiness than in any other country of Europe. But a close investigation of the causes of this will show that it is in fact owing to the very principle whose efficacy and beneficent effect is disputed. The security of which Englishmen so properly boast is derived principally from the trial by jury, from the impartial administration of justice, and from laws restrictive of royal prerogative. Now all these great objects were effected in those periods of British history when the House of Commons was in some measure the choice of the people, and when its deliberations consequently sympathised with the feelings of the nation. So that it is to the right of suffrage that they are indebted for these great constitutional ramparts. But, however deservedly some of the British institutions merit encomium, it may be boldly affirmed that in that country, neither the life, the liberty, or the property of the subject is fully protected. There may be a complete enjoyment of civil rights; no one subject, however exalted, may possess the power of oppressing another, however low; and yet it may be in the power of the government itself to oppress the subject collectively, or individually. This power is not only possessed, but practised to an extent almost unparalleled among nations. With regard to the life of the subject it is sported with as of little value in the perpetual wars of an ambitious government; with regard to political liberty, it has long ceased to exist among any but the rich and the powerful; and with regard to property, it is plundered with rapacious avidity to carry on schemes for the aggrandizement of parasites, to the impoverishment of the nation. These outlines might be filled up with details equally calculated to inspire conviction and horror; but the vices of the British system are so well understood in our country as to render this an act of supererogation.
If such then be the condition of that European nation which, of all the existences of the old world, lays the boldest claim to freedom, is it not evident that, to far as respects the present state of the world, the proposition assumed is strictly correct. Equally so will it be found in its application to all those governments of which we have any authentic records. The apologists of tyranny may be desired to produce an instance of a nation, where the right of suffrage has not existed, enjoying the full protection of life, liberty and property for any considerable period. The fact is indisputable that no such records exist.
Let us now view those nations in which this right has existed, and we shall find there the highest contemporaneous enjoyment of life, liberty, and property. With the splendid histories of Greece and Rome, the minds of most of our readers are doubtless familiar; it was in those regions of the earth that the fullest enjoyment of these great rights was diffused that was known to the ancient world, and it was there likewise that the principle of suffrage was either universal or extensively participated by the citizens. Rising to modern times, we shall invariably find those states to have been the freest in which the people held a considerable share in the election of their rulers. England has been herself an illustrious example; to which may be added Holland, Switzerland and Sweden. On the other side, we may enumerate Spain, Turkey, Russia, and France, where the right of suffrage was either unknown, or was very sparingly exercised, as examples of governments under which life, liberty and property were insecure.
So far, then, as experience goes it unequivocally proves the inadequacy of governments not founded on this principle to protect the great rights on which human happiness depends, and the competency of those which do possess it, to secure them.
May 11—3t
Having made these remarks, which prove that the widest departures from the principle of universal suffrage has been the most fatal to human happiness, while the nearest approaches to it have been the most favorable to it, it would seem to follow that no doubt could be entertained of the propriety of adopting it in all our political institutions. But we are told that though tyranny is the undoubted effect of a denial of the right, yet that liberty is best protected by its limitation—Let us examine this point, which, on the first blush, appears to be a sophism in argument.
Every member of society is interested in the government; for his protection, no less than for that of his fellow-citizens, it is instituted. He is also equally interested. To prove this but little argument is necessary. The lives of all men are equally dear to them; the liberty of a poor man is as dear to him, nay dearer than that of a rich man,—for this reason, to the former, liberty is the more precious, inasmuch as it is in itself a positive enjoyment, inasmuch as it is his only blessing, and inasmuch as it is the sole means he possesses of acquiring property;—the property of all, however great or small, is equally dear to them. The man who inhabits a cottage prizes it as highly as he who resides in a palace. Nay further, he who knows that by industry he can acquire wealth, though poor, will respect as highly the means of securing it when acquired, as if he were himself rich; inasmuch as all men expect to acquire property themselves.
If all men, then, have an equal interest in governments, from the possession of all beings equally precious to them, does it not follow that they should all enjoy equal political power? No axiom in politics is more certain than that it is the tendency of immoderate power to produce oppression. If so, will not oppression universally be the offspring of an unequal distribution of power? Such is the mournful experience of the world. Such is the constitution of our natures. We all desire to be more rich and more powerful than we either ought to be, or probably ever shall be. This desire is implanted for the best purposes. The greatness of the ends in view inspire us with industry & ardor, engages all the activities of the body, and awakens all the energies of mind. The expectation of future pleasure and aggrandizement, make us industrious and ambitious; and give rise to a thousand virtues that would not otherwise have existed. While the field remains open to all men, these dispositions, so far from being hurtful, are in reality highly beneficial, because we are all rivals there is little danger of monopoly—There will be inequalities; but they will not extend to an alarming length. But no sooner is the field closed, than virtues are converted into vices. The necessary restraints are withdrawn, power and wealth are no sooner acquired than they are abused, and those possessed of but little power or wealth are trampled upon. Power and wealth may be correctly compared to air; diffuse over a large surface they are the elements of existence and happiness; but pent up and condensed in unnatural accumulations, they become the instruments of a wide spread misery and ruin.

Extract of a letter from one of the officers of the Philadelphia frigate to his friend in Philadelphia.
TBIPOLI, Nov. 24th, 1803.
I mentioned in my last, under date of the 15th, that in consequence of orders from the Bashaw, communicated to us on the evening of the 13th, we were on the following morning conducted to the castle. The object of this removal was to punish us, by way of retaliation, for ill treatment which they say the Tripolitan officers, taken in the ship captured by the John Adams, received from Capt. Rogers. The prime minister, a few days previous, had written to Capt. Bainbridge, informing him that a letter had been received from the Tripolitan captain at Gibraltar, in which he complained of being ill treated by captain Rogers; & in consequence of this, by way of satisfaction, the prime minister requested capt. B. to write to and order commodore Peble to deliver up all the prisoners taken in that ship; in which case he should continue to be treated as heretofore; but should capt. B. not comply he would be compelled to exercise retaliation upon us.—No exchange was proposed; but we were to deliver up seventy-eight prisoners to insure our not being ill treated. Captain Bainbridge declined compliance, and we were conducted to the castle. The change was indeed an unpleasant one, from a large commodious house to what they call a castle, which in fact is nothing less than a loathsome prison. We were placed in the same place with the ship's company. How well calculated the room was to contain such a number you may judge, when I tell you it was about 80 by 25 feet; how comfortable, when the only place to admit the air was at two holes in the ceiling grated over. However, it was not intended that we should remain there any time, and was only done under the idea that we were to be frightened into a compliance with the prime minister's demand.
While we were there, Lida, the Tripolitan admiral accidentally passed that way, and was very much surprised to see us there. He came up to enquire the reason of our removal, and said that he understood a letter had been received, mentioning that the Tripolitan prisoners had been ill used. Captain Bainbridge told him that it was an infamous falsehood; that the laws of the United States absolutely forbid any prisoner being treated ill, and that he knew Capt. Rogers had given no just cause of complaint; that if such a letter had been written, it was without foundation, and the writer had asserted a most malicious falsehood; that even supposing they had been treated ill, that could not justify their retaliating upon us; that it would not tend to produce a reconciliation; but would have a quite contrary effect; that we were within their power, and they might sacrifice the whole of us, but the United States had officers and men enough to send out. He said that the Bashaw was out of town, and would not return till evening, when he would see what could be done.
In the evening we were reconducted to our lodgings. Shortly after Capt. Bainbridge received a note from the prime minister, in which he affected to be entirely ignorant of our removal, until after it had taken place. He expressed his grand surprise at hearing it; and to use his own phrase, "could not have felt more hurt if one of his own limbs had been taken off, or if one of his own family had been taken away;" and concluded with assuring us, we might rely upon our not being disturbed in that manner again. The Danish consul, in company with the French consul, waited upon the prime minister the day we went to the castle, and assured us we need be under no apprehension of a second removal. We feel ourselves perfectly secure. I cannot say which was greatest, our contempt for a character so replete with duplicity, or our indignation at the prime minister, for supposing us so weak and credulous as to believe him unacquainted with our removal, until after we had gone. He and the admiral are both renegades; the former a Prussian, the latter Scotchman.
I mentioned in a former letter, that, when our ship was plundered, the Tripolitans carried off all our trunks and chests, so that we were left entirely without any change of clothing. The prime minister got as many of our clothes as he could collect, and offered them to Capt. Bainbridge for 1200 dollars. Capt. Bainbridge did not purchase them; and a day or two ago the minister gave us permission to go to his house, and purchase whatever we wanted. We only bought a few of the most

new flay articles of clothing. We also purchased some books which were extremely acceptable, having been as great a rarity as clothes. They were sold far below their value. Gas. U. S.

We mentioned in the last number of the Mercantile Advertiser that the ship Hardware , for this port from Bristol, had been spoken on the 6th instant, and that she had papers on board to the 5th of April. We are happy to announce her late arrival last evening.
Bonaparte, it is said in letters from Berlin, has demanded that Louis XVIII [who resides at Warsaw] should be given up as implicated in the late conspiracy, and the Prussian government has refused compliance. Other accounts state that the First Consul had only required that the papers of the exiled monarch should be examined, and that he be confined in one of the Prussian fortresses until the termination of the present war.

LONDON, MARCH 29.
Yesterday Mr. Yorke stated the outlines of his plan for recruiting the army. Eight new regiments of Infantry are to be raised, ten battalions added to existing regiments, 2000 added to the guards, and 5000 additional Cavalry. In all 25,000 men. The recruiting for the Army of Reserve is to be suspended, and the bounties for the new levies not to exceed ten guineas, exclusive of levy money. He also proposed to bring over to this country 10,000 of the Irish militia, adding at the same time a similar number to that force.
March 31.
The reports from Holland, rather the fabricated accounts, vary every day. It is now said there are lying at the Helder 160 transports and 170 gunboats, two frigates and two brigs; and that the greatest exertions are making to embark military stores on board the transports. The French troops are said to be very numerous at the Helder and at Amsterdam.
An additional foreign force of 8000 men is likewise proposed by Ministers in addition to a levy now going on in our American and West Indian possessions, which is estimated at 4000 men.
With respect to those countries which have not made up their quota of men for the Army of Reserve, it is intended to propose a pecuniary fine, proportioned to the number of men deficient.
April 2.
The Toulon fleet is stated to consist of nine sail of the line, and eight frigates and corvettes; about 8000 Genoese seamen are on board of it.
It is said that the French Army of Reserve, stationed in the environs of St. Omer's, Arras, Amiens, Compiegne, &c. had received orders to advance to the coast.
It is reported that the Flushing fleet is to join that of Boulogne, and it is stated that the enterprise was delayed only waiting the accomplishment of this junction.
The embargo on all vessels is continued with great strictness along the Dutch and Flemish coasts; the fishermen of Ostend and Blankenburg, and every other port, are prohibited from putting to sea on any occasion. They are not even allowed to fish under the batteries.
Our Boulogne squadron, consisting of the Monarch and Illustrious , the Immortalite and Squirrel frigates, besides floops and gun brigs, have returned to the Downs. They were forced off the French coast in a gale of wind. The French vessels have also returned to the Downs.
Pichegru, it is stated, has been removed to the Prison de la Force.
Polignac, tempted by hopes of pardon, is stated to have given full information as to the objects and extent of the conspiracy. General Valence, who served under General Dumourier, in 1792, has, it is said, been, with many others arrested in consequence.
According to the return of the Navy up to this time, it appears that we have in commission 100 sail of the line, 24 of 50 guns, 126 frigates, and 227 floops, cutters, gun-boats, &c.
April 3.
Yesterday a message was sent down to the bank, and by them communicated to the Stock Exchange, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer for Ireland would be ready this day to have an interview with such gentlemen as might be desirous of contracting for an Irish Loan; to state to them the amount of the sum wanted, and to settle the preliminaries of a bidding for an early day next week. This unexpected notice had the effect to lower the funds about five-eighths per cent. as it was thought that the loan for the service of the United Kingdom would have been made in one contract. This piecemeal budget gives an alarm that the total will greatly exceed what was apprehended.
Yesterday dispatches were received at the Admiralty from Lord Nelson. A report has been since very current in the best informed circles, that the French fleet have made their escape from Toulon, and that his Lordship's dispatches contained an account of this event. We do not think the report improbable, as we know, from unquestionable authority, that the Toulon fleet was ready for sea some time ago, and only waiting for a favorable moment to elude the vigilance of our gallant Commander in the Mediterranean. If they have actually failed, Sicily, no doubt, is their destination, as the only thing which hitherto prevented the French troops from entering Naples, has been an apprehension, that if they did so, the British would immediately take possession of that island. If the French should be able to land there a few thousand troops, they would find themselves under no restraint, and would respect the neutrality of Naples as little as they have lately done that of Germany.
A great quantity of ammunition, camp equipage, &c. has been sent off to different parts of the sea coast, within these two days, particularly ladders, traps, and other things of that description, fit for the conveyance of either military or any of the more helpless part of the inhabitants in case of invasion.
A Paris paper of the 24th lay "We are assured that the French government has seized a secret correspondence, which throws fresh light upon the horrible conspiracy formed by the enemies of the Republic against the government and person of the First Consul. This correspondence consists of several original letters, written by a minister of England accredited at one of the German courts, and were addressed to a mercenary agent, whom he had sent to Paris to assist his designs. The English minister recommends it especially to his agent, to obtain a knowledge of the warlike plans of the French government, to employ all possible means to disorganize the armies, and to endeavor to corrupt the persons employed in the manufacture of gunpowder. There is reason to believe that this correspondence will soon be published."
London, March 15.
We yesterday received Paris journals to the 7th inst. which brings the news of Paris within the shortest space we have known for some time, most of the Paris papers of late being a fortnight or three weeks old before they were received here. There no longer remains a doubt that Pichegru is taken. We do not envy the feelings of certain persons, or rather we should not envy the feelings of men of sense and delicacy in their situation. But as for them—
It does not appear that any steps have yet been taken towards the trial of Moreau. Georges is not yet apprehended, nor any of those who are styled his brigands. A law has passed the legislative making it death to conceal Georges or any of his sixty confederates. This atrocious law requires no comment. To subject those persons who from a thousand laudable or excusable motives would harbor or conceal a French gentleman laboring under (perhaps) a false accusation, to the penalty of death, is a confusion of crimes and punishments equal to any we ever heard of, though we cannot say the thing is altogether without example.
The Moniteur contains infinite numbers of addresses from the army, navy, from all public bodies and establishments. The addresses from Strasburgh, where Moreau was as much loved as he was honored and admired, it being the neighborhood of his most brilliant exploits, is remarkable.
"General Moreau!! at that name the Strasburghers shuddered with amazement!"
"Moreau, whom they had seen brave and victorious; and whom they had thought it impossible to accuse, if the government had not denounced him in the face of Europe."
This, as well as every other address, burns with indignation against the English government. It seems as if a new zeal and energy had been inspired into the legions by this affair. But surely Moreau must be innocent of this conspiracy. It is impossible that he could be concerned in any project of which Mr. Addington and his colleagues were the movers. He may have been his old commander, and this is his whole offence.
The king's illness evidently creates much interest at Paris. It was reported, according to the Moniteur , that he was at the point of death.
London, March 19.
Complaints have been made by the French and Spanish ministers at Constantinople of the conduct of the governor of Alexandria, who is accused of having permitted the consuls of all the foreign powers to be openly insulted by the soldiery under his command.
The French government have not only required of Naples the cession of three fortresses and their harbors, but also demanded of her Sicilian majesty several ships of war. The king, it is
said, has given a positive refusal, and the French government have made some strong representations in reply.
An expedition is going out in the port of Leghorn, where all the merchant ships have been put in a state of requisition for the conveyance of the troops.
An alliance between Naples and Russia is said to be on the tapis; in consequence of which the French army in the territory of the former is immediately to receive a considerable reinforcement.
The Dutch troops in north Holland are marching towards the Helder, for the purpose of embarkation in the expedition against England, which it is said will be conducted by Bonaparte in person.
London, March 17.
A letter has been received from Lisbon, of a late date, which contains the following intelligence of importance.
"The French envoy has announced officially to his countrymen merchants here, that they need be under no apprehension of a rupture between this country and France; as he finally concluded, on the 19th December, a separate treaty of neutrality. The price of it is understood to be 16 millions of francs: the Portuguese merchants having been called on by government for their advice how that sum may be most easily raised. I have good reasons to suppose a year is allowed to pay the money, by monthly instalments; which inclines me to think Bonaparte does not intend to drive this government to extremities. Since the arrival of the last packets, a report is current here, that Great Britain agrees to the terms of neutrality with Spain and Portugal; but that, seeing they have been obliged to purchase them, requires some guarantee against further exactions and concessions. Portugal of Madeira and Goa is demanded of Portugal. I have not heard what is asked of Spain. At all events, Mr. Addington appears to be under no apprehension of our being in any immediate danger here, as he positively altered the destination of transports which had been ordered to take British subjects and their property from thence."
March 22.
Government, it is supposed, expect that some attempt will be speedily made by the enemy. In the north of England orders have been distributed to every house-keeper specifying the places of rendezvous in the event of an invasion in that quarter, for such inhabitants as may be desirous of being removed, but who are unable to remove themselves. Each person is to provide himself with three days provision, and utensils for cooking; besides which, and beds and blankets, no other description of property will be allowed to be put into the carriages appropriated for the removal of the inhabitants.
March 24.
The restoration of his majesty's health has been officially confirmed by the discontinuance of the bulletins.
New-York, May 12.
London papers to the 28th of March are received by the Juliana .—When a few days out, the Juliana spoke the ship Hardware , which left Bristol for New-York, April 8th. At that time the blockading squadron before Brest had been blown off and had arrived in England. Nothing particular had occurred relative to the destiny of Moreau. The King of England had so far recovered as to place his signature to public bills as usual. On the 29th of March, the Juliana heard a very heavy firing off Boulogne, arising it is presumed from a continuance of the bombardment.
The Juliana had started previously, but lost both anchors in the Downs in a gale, and was obliged to put into Ramsgate.
The accounts brought by this arrival mention that the armaments of France appear to be in a state of more than customary activity along the whole line of the French and Dutch coasts, particular movements had taken place at Havre, Boulogne, and the Texel, and intelligence had reached the admiralty announcing an uncommon degree of vigour among the French fleet at Brest. The force in the outer harbour of that port consisted of 14 ships of the line ready for sea, exclusive of frigates: in the inner harbour a vast number of transports, gun-boats, and small crafts of different descriptions.
A British squadron maintained a blockade off Rochefort with great vigilance, as a French division in that port consisted of 4 sail of the line, 3 frigates, cutters, &c. was kept ready for sea at a moment's notice. It was understood that these vessels had nearly three thousand troops on board, and provisions for six months.
The British squadron off Boulogne, did not succeed as well as had been contemplated in blockading that port. On the 25th it was compelled by the violent gales to return to the Downs, previous to which (on the 23d) about 100 gun boats, came out of the harbour in one tide, with an apparent intention to engage. On the 24th, there came on a heavy gale, which occasioned much
confusion among them, several got foul of each other, one run on shore, another was dismasted, a third lost her bowsprit, &c. Most of them made out to return, but 27 ran into the newly opened port of Vimereux, and one was obliged to beat away for Calais. The amount of this attempt however served to show that a greater number can get out in one tide than was calculated.
JERSEY, MARCH 27.
Considerable alarm was excited here, on Friday last signals were made for an enemy's fleet, about two o'clock; thirteen gun boats were so near Granville Bay, that their hulls could be perceived from the lowest part of the shore, without the help of glasses. They were in sight for some hours, and appeared to be sailing in the direction of Granville. At night the Mercury frigate, captain Bouvier, came from Bantry Bay, and made chase. On Saturday night a very heavy cannonade was heard on the French coast, supposed to be the frigate engaging the gun vessels. On Sunday night a heavy firing was again heard; scarce a day passes but what signals are made for convoys or vessels passing along the French coast. There appears to be a great want of light vessels on this station, to intercept them; had there been a few gun brigs or cutters in Granville Bay on Friday, they could easily have got up with the French ships, as they were in sight several hours. It is true that sometimes a gun brig or two comes to Granville Bay, from Guernsey, but in general there is nothing here to intercept the enemy's ship.
PARIS, MARCH 5.
All the Ministers of the Republic foreign countries have received, with the description, orders to claim the arrest of every conspirator, who might have escaped from France, and is supposed to reside in the respective states where they represent the First Consul.
Last Wednesday the American Minister, Livingston, gave a most splendid ball in honor of the discovery of the conspiracy against the First Consul. The whole diplomatic corps, with the exception of the Neapolitan minister and the Russian Charge d'Affairs, were present.
Some of our papers state that the act of accusation against Moreau contains eighteen different charges, upon each of which, he is to be tried separately. So much ceremony will not be used towards Pichegru and Georges, and his other accomplices. Their names being upon the list of emigrants, they required only to be known again to be sentenced to death.
Lucien Bonaparte, after his return from Italy, had long conferences with Bonaparte and Talleyrand. Among other services that he has done France, he has discovered a plan of the King of Sardinia to throw himself entirely into the arms of the English. This and other circumstances will cause some great and unexpected changes in Italy, but the report of the First Consul having demanded from the Pope, that the King of Sardinia should be given up to Gen. St. Cyr, is hitherto without foundation.
Paris, March 5.
"Moreau's affair appears to take a favorable turn. They say there was but one letter from Pichegru found among his papers, written some years since from Barenth, in which Moreau was requested to procure Pichegru's amnesty. The latter complained at the same time of finding himself in narrow circumstances. The first draft of Moreau's answer lay with this letter. He freely declared his influence did not suffice to procure this amnesty. To assist him in his distress however, he remitted him 6,000 francs, assuring him, that, as soon as he should be able to do any thing for him, he would do it unasked."
"The senator Barthelemy had nearly been implicated. Some months ago Pichegru had sent him compliments by L'Abbe Gautier. The latter prevailed on Barthelemy to give him an insignificant note to Pichegru, which laid merely, "I rejoice my dear Pichard (this was the name Pichegru had taken on escaping from Cayenne) you are well, I shall not forget the friendship which you have shown me in our mutual misfortunes." When people began to whisper of the conspiracy, Barthelemy received a letter from Pichegru via Calais. Being assured that the police must have knowledge of this letter, he went direct to the consul Cambeceres with the letter unopened, told him of the circumstance, and gave him the letter."
Naples, Feb. 6.
We have received accounts here, that the American government has concluded a peace with Tripoli, on condition of paying to that state 450,000 Spanish piastres. This report, however, requires confirmation.

WASHINGTON CITY,
WEDNESDAY, MAY 16.
The PRESIDENT of the United States has arrived in this city, in good health.
NEW-YORK ELECTION.
It has been the practice of this paper to avoid all unnecessary interference with state politics. Though of importance only secondary to the politics of the union, we have considered them as most likely to be managed with propriety free from foreign interference. Whatever aberrations may occasionally have occurred from the true principles of republicanism, we have never lost confidence in the virtue and intelligence of the people of the respective states to set every thing right, so long as the great principles of liberty were supported by the administration of the general government. To these last, therefore, our chief attention has been devoted. We have endeavoured to inspire a love of liberty, a respect for republican institutions, a devotion to principle, calculated to impress on the public mind those sentiments which can alone preserve a people free, or render them happy.
There are, however, some events developed by state politics, that, extending their influence beyond the limits of the state in which they take place, merit the attention of the whole people. Such we consider the late election in New-York.
It would be useful to review the long controversy respecting the conduct of Mr. Burr on the Presidential election; as it has been fully exposed before the public. It is sufficient here to state the fact, that on the nomination by the representatives of the people of suitable characters for the Presidency, and Vice-Presidency, not one vote was given for Mr. Burr. The ground of this abandonment, though not expressly declared, cannot be unknown to any man. It was undoubtedly a conviction that he had by his conduct forfeited the national confidence. Though a silent, it must be considered an unequivocal evidence of the sentiment of the nation, as we shall in vain search for an equal number of men with those who voted on this occasion, that can be viewed as so correct an organ of public opinion.
Under these circumstances Mr. Burr was nominated for the office of Governor of New-York, a state respectable for its numbers, its wealth, and its intelligence. By whom was he nominated? Not by the republicans of the state. For it appears that at a meeting of the republican representatives in the legislature of that state, his pretensions were unanimously rejected by those of Mr. Lewis being preferred.
Still the friends of Mr. Burr insisted on the nomination. Such a persevering attempt indicates one of two motives. Either an entire diffidence of attachment to the republican cause, or a paramount devotion to personal views. From the moment Mr. Burr's pretensions were rejected by the representatives at Albany, his name should have been withdrawn. He or his friends should have stepped forth, and declared that the republican interest should not be divided. However harsh he might have esteemed his treatment, he should have suffered no personal feelings to interfere with a fair expression of the sense of the republicans.
But his name was still held up, and every effort exhausted to secure his election. The result is glorious to the cause of republicanism. It demonstrates a purity and vigor in its principles that may hereafter be confidently expected to defy every stratagem or seduction that may be practised. The federalists , and the federalists alone have given their votes to Mr. Burr. He numbers, in his supporters, scarcely as many votes as were given at the late election to the Federal Senators, who are elected by the same citizens as the Governor. When we say the federalists alone voted for Mr. Burr, we speak in the general. It is probable that a few republicans supported him. But their numbers are very inconsiderable.
No evidence more conclusive has, perhaps, been furnished of the almost universal prevalence of principle among the republicans of the United States. It is evident, that however divided they may be on subordinate points, they have but one sentiment where the great interests of the country are involved.
Had Mr. Burr been elected Governor of New-York, a serious division might have been established among the friends of the general government in that state; a division which might possibly have extended beyond its borders. His failure, by to vast a majority, shows the futility of all such attempts, and will be more efficacious than volumes of precept to prevent their repetition.
Whether, therefore, we view this event in its aspect on the politics of a republican state, or in its reference to the more important interests of the union, we have reason to rejoice; as it exhibits a full and cordial harmony between them.
*We believe, though we are not certain, that this was the case.

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION for Representatives.

The following New Song, taken from the Boston Chronicle , evinces a becoming temper in the republicans of that town. On their efforts may depend the complexion of their legislature for the ensuing year.
TUNE—"Ya kee Doodle" We're all asleep, the fed'ralists say, And never will awaken, But on the next election day We'll show them they're mistaken. CHORUS. Republicans in freedom's cause, Will make a glorious stand fir, And guard their government and laws From faction's furious band, fir.
Two years ago we took a nap, And while we slept so sweetly, The federalists sprung a well set trap, And caught us most completely. Republicans in freedom's cause, &c.
But though hereafter we repose When distant from election, Yet never shall our eyelids close When Freedom calls to action. Republicans in freedom's cause, &c.
Our rights—our fathers drew the sword, And fought and bled to gain them, And we their sons with one accord Forever will maintain them. Republicans in freedom's cause, &c.
London papers have been received at Boston by the ship Warrington , to March 24.—They state that GEORGE had been taken after a desperate resistance; and that generals Dumourier and La Fayette , M c . Roland , and Madame Tallien had been arrested.

United States, District of Columbia and county of Washington. In CHANCERY, 9th October, 1802. George King, John Davidson and John B. Evans, complainants. against Anne Young, the widow and Samuel W. Young, Elizabeth Young, Susanna Young, Richard Young, John Young and Charles Young the children and heirs of Abraham Young, deceased, and William King and Adam King all of the city of Washington in the district of Columbia, and John Ball, Henry Pratt, John Ashley, Thomas Witting, John Miller, jun. and Jacob Baker of the city of Philadelphia, defendants.
The bill states that Abraham Young, deceased, late of the city of Washington aforesaid, did in his life time, to wit: on or about the 16th Sept. 1702 contract for and sold to the said William King, above named, and one William Prount in equal and undivided portions, parts of three tracts of land situate in the city of Washington aforesaid called Chance , Morpan enlarged and Knock , by specified marks and boundaries containing in the whole one hundred acres, and an half acre. That William King, afterwards on or about the 20th July 1794 contracted for and sold his moiety of the said property to a certain John Nicholson, late of Philadelphia, but now deceased. That the said John Nicholson to secure to the said King the purchase money for the said moiety of the land or such part thereof as he did not actually pay, paid to the said King his said Nicholson's note bearing date on the 20th September 1794, for 1566 dollars, 66 cents payable 3 months after date, which the said William King afterwards for a valuable consideration assigned to the complainant George King and which hath never yet been paid or any part thereof: That he also gave to the said William King his three several bonds each dated on the 20th Sept. 1794, and each conditioned for the payment of 250. current money of Maryland, with interest at the rate of three per centum per annum from their date aforesaid, until they should respectively become due and payable, the first whereof was payable the 1st day of January 1795, the second the first day of January 1796 and the third the 1st day of January 1797, neither of which or any part thereof has ever been paid, the two first were for a valuable consideration assigned by the said William King to the complainant John Davidson, the last to the complainant John B. Evans. That Abraham Young in his life time by indenture bearing date the 35th October 1794, conveyed the said moiety to the said William King, and that William King by indenture dated the 31st October 1794, conveyed to the said John Nicholson the said moiety, but that neither of the said deeds last mentioned were recorded as the law directs and therefore are wholly inoperative in law. That Abraham Young having died the legal estate in the said property has descended to and become vested in his children and heirs the defendants before named.
The object of the bill is to have the said property sold or so much thereof as will produce a sufficient sum to pay to the complainants the debts respectively due to them as aforesaid.
And it being now, to wit: this fourth day of May 1804 after publication made as to the other defendants stated by the complainants that Samuel W. Young and Charles Young two of the defendants in the said bill mentioned have since the filing hereof removed from the district of Columbia and from without the reach of the process of this court. It is therefore on the complainants petition ordered that they procure a copy of this notice to be published at least once in three successive weeks in the two papers printed in the county of Washington before the first day of July next to the intent that the said Samuel W. Young and Charles Young may have notice of the said application and of the objects of the bill and that they be warned to appear here in person or by solicitor on or before the fourth Monday in July next to show cause if any they can why a decree should not pass as prayed in and by the said bill.
