BOSTON, March 13. THE EDITOR of this Paper informs his PATRONS, that he is confined in Boston Goal, under sentence of the Supreme Judicial Court, for three months, with the additional burden of two Dollars Fine.—The Editor has attempted during his trial to give every satisfaction to the Court, and his concessions have been such, that nothing more could have been expected, from a man
under his peculiar circumstances - notwithstanding which, he is separated for three months from his Wife and sick family, and is obliged to suffer the distresses of imprisonment - while some other Prisoners are permitted to libel the Supreme Executive, and every officer in the Federal Government - it is his misfortune to be singled out as an object of Judiciary Vengeance .
The Editor feels no way depressed by his situation, and while he is confined, he shall employ his time in promoting that cause which Tyrants attempt to destroy.

Extracts from letters dated P m Republican, Feb. 28 and 26.
On the 25th of this month, the fleet that had been near this port two days previous, landed men near Bifton at 6 o'clock, P. M. We (the Americans) had all our books and papers on board, and those that could get to the vessels, immediately repaired on board. The city, the command of which was taken from the white general, was instantly filled with negro patrols, who entered the houses and took all the white people they could find, amongst whom were some Americans, who were however all released. At about 4 o'clock that afternoon, Fort Bifton was delivered up; and as the town was attacked, and so immediately taken, that the negroes had not time to pillage or set fire to it. Some smart firing took place. - Defaites, with his troops, halted at D'Arteny, where they carried all the whites they had got into their possession. The French immediately following them, they retreated to Croix a Bonnets where they made some little resistance; but soon continued their route towards L'Archebaye, burning everything they came across. Rapidly in the confusion of the retreat, most of the whites escaped out of their hands; some have been murdered, others still are in their power.
The sugar plantations all around we have been in flames these three days past. Leopards and L'Archebaye have fallen, and all the whites of the former place have fallen victims, excepting twelve that we know of.
At St. Marks the negroes pillaged everything, even the American vessels; the sailors they carried on shore and into the woods and we know not yet their fate. Capt. Geier, in a brig from Wilmington, had a considerable sum in specie taken from him, and the other vessels were pillaged even to their cabin utensils. At Gonaives, we learn the sailors, sails and boats were all taken away from the vessels.
From Petit Goave, (by the latest accounts) as far as I, Andre a Venu and Aug. Cayet, the commanders have given up their respective commands, to the French Jeannette we know nothing of. The city of Santo Domingo is safe.
March 24.
Arrived in this port yesterday afternoon, the French frigate Necessity, commanded by capt. Kergarion in 16 days from Cape Francois. We are unable to state upon what object this vessel has been dispatched to the United States. The general impression is, she is destined to procure supplies of provisions for the forces at St. Domingo.
The Necessity brings the latest accounts from the Cape. No important military occurrences had taken place. An armistice of a few days duration had been declared; on the termination of which, should the blacks not submit, it was the intention of Le Clerc to make a general and vigorous attack. Toussaint's two sons, it is said, had returned to the French camp, without effecting a pacification. It was supposed they would again visit their father.
We further learn, that the report of the capture of Christophe and Dessalines is untrue.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 26.
We understand that a convention between the United States and Great Britain has been concluded, which terminates all the existing differences under the 4th article of the British Treaty.
In this convention it is stipulated that all claims of British subjects on the American government under the 6th article shall be communicated into an obligation of the United States to pay to the British government 600,000 pounds sterling, in three annual payments, the first instalment to be paid one year after the final ratification of the convention.
On the other hand, claims of American citizens for spoiled property are to be adjusted, as provided for under the British Treaty, and payment to be made therefor by the British government at London at the above period.

House of Representatives, U. S.
Wednesday, March 24.
An engrossed bill making appropriations for defraying the expenses which may arise from carrying into effect the convention made between the United States and the French Republic was read and passed.
Mr. Dennis reported a bill for opening a canal to communicate from the waters of Potomac river to the Eastern Branch thereof, through the city of Washington, which was made the order of the day for Friday.
A concurrent resolution of the two houses, was agreed to, for the adjournment of the two houses, on the 2d Monday in April.
We understand the Senate have postponed the consideration of the resolution.
The house went into committee of the whole on the bill to continue in force an act to augment the salaries of certain officers therein named.
The committee rose and reported the bill with an amendment, that the law should continue two years instead of three. - Ordered to lie on the table.
Thursday, March 25.
Mr. Bacon moved the appointment of a com.
mittee to enquire whether any and what reduction would be proper to make in the compensation of the Senators and Representatives.
To this motion several amendments were made, on which considerable discussion ensued, which terminated on the motion of Mr. J. C. Smith, in the reference of it to the select committee appointed on the 4th Jan. to enquire what alterations it may be expedient to make in the civil list.
The bill to regulate intercourse with the Indians and to preserve peace on the frontiers received from the Senate, was read a third time, and passed.
The House then took up the bill to continue in force an act to augment the salaries of certain officers therein named.
The amendment to limit the continuance of the law to two years instead of three was agreed to - Yeas 40.
Mr. John C. Smith moved an amendment to the bill, the object of which was, instead of simply reviving in general terms the old law, to specify the augmented salary of each officer.
On this amendment debate ensued. It was supported by Messrs. J. C. Smith, Duns, Gist, Gist, Morris, Huger, Goddard, and Bacon.
And opposed by Messrs. Gregg, S. Smith, Nicholson, Giles, Holland, and Vargau.
The Yeas and Nays were then called on the amendment and were Yeas 37 - Nays 46 - 10 th .
The bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a 3rd reading on to-morrow.
It appears from the late debate in the legislature on the judiciary, that the Journal of the convention that formed the constitution of the United States is lodged in the office of the secretary of state, and that it is open to the inspection of the members of the legislature. We accordingly find several propositions made in the convention, with the fate they received, noticed in the above debate.
Whether the journal is open to the inspection of any citizen we know not. But even if it should be, it is obvious that but a small portion of the community could from local considerations avail themselves of the privilege.
It is respectfully submitted to Congress, whether it is not just and expedient that an advantage, which at present accrues to one part of the community, should be extended to all.
It is understood that this record throws important light upon the true spirit and meaning of the constitution; and it must be apparent to all, that any correct construction given to the provisions of the instrument must be derived from a view of all the proceedings of the convention, in the successive stages of deliberation, and not from a detached part, which may countenance inferences hostile to the general tenor of the Journal.
If these ideas have weight, they recommend the printing of the Journal of the Convention for the general benefit of the community.

MR. PLEASANTS,
AS the extraordinary religious appearances, in the state of Kentucky, have considerably excited the curiosity of the public, and as various and contradictory reports have been in circulation relative to this subject, it would no doubt be highly satisfactory to a large number of your subscribers, to see a correct narrative of those extraordinary religious phenomena.
To answer this purpose, I have sent you, for publication, in your extensive paper, a letter written to me, by a gentleman of learning and piety, who visited that country for the very purpose of ascertaining the nature of the work.
Ma. 1th, 1802
WASHINGTON ACADEMY, January 1, 1802.
REVEREND AND DEAR SIR,
I NOW sit down agreeably to my promise, to give you some account of the late Revival of religion in Kentucky. You have no doubt been informed already respecting the Green river and Cumberland revivals. I will just observe, that the last is the fourth summer since the revival commenced in those places, and that it has been more remarkable than any of the preceding, not only for lively and fervent devotion among christians, but also for awakenings and conversions among the careless. And it is worthy of notice, that very few instances of apostasy have hitherto appeared.
As I was not in the Cumberland Country myself, all I can say about it depends on the testimony of others. But I was uniformly told by those who had been there, that their religious assemblies were more solemn, and the appearance of the work much greater, than what had been in Kentucky. Any enthusiastic symptoms, which might at first have attended the revival, were greatly subsided; whilst the serious concern and engagedness of the people were visibly increased.
In the older settlement of Kentucky, the revival made its first appearance among the Presbyterians last spring. The whole of that country about a year before was remarkable for vice and dissipation; and I have been credibly informed, that a decided majority of the people were professed infidels. During the last winter, appearances were favorable among the Baptists, and great numbers were added to their churches. Early in the spring, the ministrations of the Presbyterian clergy began to be better attended than they had been for many years before. Their worshipping assemblies became more solemn, and the people, after they were dismissed, shewed a strange reluctance about leaving the place. They generally continued some time in the meeting-houses, and employed themselves in singing or religious conversation. Perhaps about the last of May or the first of June the awakenings became general in some congregations, and spread through the country in every direction with amazing rapidity. I left that country about the first of November, at which time, this revival, in connection with the one on Cumberland, had covered the whole state of Kentucky, excepting a small settlement, which borders on the waters of Green river, in which no Presbyterian ministers are settled, and I believe very few of any denomination.
The power, with which this revival has spread, and its influence in moralizing the people, are difficult for you to conceive, and more so for me to describe. I had heard many accounts, and seen many letters concerning it before I went to that country; but my expectations, although greatly raised, were much below the reality of the work. Their congregations, when engaged in worship, presented scenes of solemnity superior to what I had ever seen before. And in private houses it was no uncommon thing
to hear parents relate to strangers the wonderful things which God had done in their neighbourhoods, while a large family of young people collected around them would be in team. On my way to Kentucky, I was informed by letters on the road, that the character of Kentucky travellers was entirely changed; and that they were now as remarkable for sobriety, as they had formerly been for dissoluteness and immorality. And indeed, I found Kentucky, to appearance, the most moral place, I had ever seen. A profane expression was hardly ever heard. A religious awe seemed to pervade the country. And some deistical characters had confessed, that from whatever cause the revival might proceed, it made the people better.
Its influence was not less visible in promoting a friendly temper among the people. Nothing could appear more amiable than that undissimulated benevolence which governs the subjects of this work. I have often wished that the mere politician or the deist could observe with impartiality their peaceful and amiable spirit. He would certainly see, that nothing could equal the religion of Jesus, for promoting even the temporal happiness of society. Some neighbourhoods, visited by the revival, were formerly notorious for private animosities and contentions; and many petty law-suits had commenced on that ground. When the parties in these quarrels were impressed with religion, the first thing was to lead for their antagonists; and it was often very affecting to see their meeting. They had both seen their faults, and both contended they ought to make the acknowledgments, till at last they were obliged to request one another to forbear all mention of the past, and to receive each other as friends and brothers for the future. Now, Sir, let modern philosophers talk of reforming the world by banishing christianity and introducing their licentious systems: the blessed gospel of our God and Saviour is shewing what it can do.
Some circumstances have concurred to distinguish the revival in Kentucky from almost any other of which we have had any account: I mean the largeness of their assemblies on sacramental occasions—the length of time they continued on the ground in the exercise of public or private devotion—and the great numbers who have fallen down under religious impressions. On each of these particulars I shall give you some remarks.
With respect to the largeness of their assemblies, it is generally supposed, that at many places there were not less than eight, ten, or twelve thousand people. At one place called Cane Ridge Meeting-House, many are of opinion there were not less than twenty thousand. There were an hundred and fifty, besides other wheel carriages; and some persons attended, who had come the distance of two hundred miles. The largeness of these congregations was a considerable inconvenience. They were too numerous to be addressed by any one speaker—Different ministers were obliged to officiate at the same time at different stands. This afforded an opportunity to those who were but slightly impressed with religion to wander backwards and forwards between the different places of worship, which created an appearance of confusion, and gave ground to such as were unfriendly to the work, to charge it with disorder. There was also another cause which contributed to the same effect.
About this time, the people began to fall down in great numbers under serious impressions. This was a new thing among Presbyterians. It excited universal astonishment, and created a degree of curiosity which could not be restrained. When people fell down even in the most solemn parts of divine service, those who stood near, were so extremely anxious to see how they were affected, that they frequently crowded about them in such a manner as to disturb the worship. But these causes of disorder were soon removed. Different sacraments were appointed on the same Sabbath, which divided the people; and the falling down soon became so familiar as to excite no disturbance. I was in that country during the month of October. I attended three sacraments. The number of people at each was supposed to be about four or five thousand, and every thing was conducted with strict propriety. When persons fell down those who happened to be near took care of them, and every thing continued quiet till the worship was concluded.
The length of time the people continued on the ground was another important circumstance of the Kentucky revival. At Cane Ridge, the people met on Friday morning, and continued till Wednesday evening, night and day without intermission, either in the public or private exercise of devotion; and with such a degree of earnestness, that heavy showers of rain were not sufficient to disperse them. On other sacramental occasions, they generally continued on the ground till Monday or Tuesday evening. And had not the ministers been exhausted and obliged to retire, or had they chosen to prolong the worship, they might have kept the people any length of time on their knees. And all this was or might have been done in a country, where not a twelve month before, the clergy found it a difficult matter to retain the people during the common exercises of the Sabbath. The practice of camping on the ground was introduced partly by necessity, and partly by inclination. The assemblies were generally too large to be received by any common neighbourhood. Every thing indeed was done, which hospitality and brotherly kindness could do to accommodate the people. Public and private houses were both open-
ed, and every thing given to all persons who wished to retire. Farmers gave up their milk houses before they were known to supply the horses. But notwithstanding all this liberality, it would in many cases have been impossible to have accommodated the whole assembly with private lodgings. But besides, the people were unwilling to suffer any interruption in their devotion, and they formed an attachment to the place where they were continually seeing so many careless sinners receiving their first impressions, and so many deists constrained to call on the formerly despised name of Jesus. They conceived a sentiment like what Jacob felt at Bethel, when he said, "Surely the Lord is in this place—this is none other but the house of GOD, and this is the gate of Heaven."
(To be concluded in our next.)
It appears, by the 5th article of a treaty entered into on the 11th March, 1801, between the French republic and the king of Spain, that the latter had, by a former treaty, ceded to France the possession of Louisiana; and the article states, that the contracting parties agree to put in execution the articles of the former treaty.

He ran away on the 28th of March at night—is a likely well made fellow, about 5 feet 8 or 10 inches high, 27 or 28 years old, of a yellowish complexion, port walk, and good countenance when not spoken to by surprise—has a scar on one of his hands and belly, occasioned by a burn when small—He is of the Baptist society and has attempted preaching—I expect he will endeavour to get concealed in the neighbourhood of Richmond, as he says he has a wife by the name of Polly Frost, belonging to Miss Tabitha Eppes, and is acquainted with the servants of Mrs. Birt. He wore when he went away, Virginia cloth twilled jacket and breeches dyed of a dark colour, a dark coloured labelled great coat, and carried with him other clothing. I expect he will change his clothes and name and pass as a free man, as he made the like attempt some time ago, and got to Norfolk. I forewarn all masters of vessels and other persons from harbouring or taking him away. ARCHER TRAYLER, Jr. April 2, 1802. (co3y)
The celebrated running Horse,
CLIFDEN,

Those who wish their mares fed, will be furnished with grain at market price, in quantity as directed, for which the money must be sent. Notes will be expected with the mares.
CLIFDEN is a horse of very fine form, inviting beauty, and uncommon strength; he is full fifteen and a half hands high, of a fine blood bay, his prodigious powers will be best known by exhibiting his performances. He is a very sure foal getter, and his colts are thought equal to any on the continent.

March 10, 1802. CLIFDEN was bred by the Earl of Derby and sold to Dr. John Lade for 500 guineas, trained; he is from the very best running blood in England, having descended on both sides from old Matchem, who covered at 50 guineas a mare for the nine last years of his life, and 25 mares by subscription. In 1792 at 5 years old, he won ten times, and was not equalled, (Mr. Wilson's Buzzer excepted) in the years 1792, 5, 4, and 3, as appears by the racing calendar's for those years.

The subscriber intends to practise in the Court of Chancery to be holden in Williamsburg. Philip Norborne Nicholas. Richmond, March 22, 1802.
FLOPED from the plantation whereon the subscriber lives, on Tuckahoe, Henrico county, about the middle of January last, a negro man named
NED.
He is about 30 or 40 years old, of dark complexion, six feet high or upwards, pretty much pitted with the small-pox, and rather a look that bespeaks guilt when questioned. His clothing is of plain or kersey, as common with crop hands (though he no doubt has other clothes, and may change them). The said negro was raised at Tuckahoe by Col. Randolph, & his acquaintance is so extensive with that family of negroes that it is uncertain to what part he may go—however his mother belongs to Thomas M. Randolph Esq of Albemarle, about which place it is probable he may be lurking. Any person delivering the said negro to me, or securing him so that I get him shall be liberally rewarded, and all expenses paid. Richard Sampson, Jr. March 13th 1802. (tdk)
