RHODE-ISLAND. DISTRICT, &c. As a district Court held at Providence, with in and for the district aforesaid, on the first Monday of Nov. A.D. 1794, before the Hon. Henry Marchant, Esq., judge of said Court.
Comes John Baptiste Bernarde, a citizen of the French Republic, and on the libel of Thomas Jennings, for himself & John L. Venner, both of the British province of New-Brunswick, under which certain monies, now remaining in the hands of William Peck, Esq. Marshal of said District, being the proceeds of the sale of the brigantine Perseverance and her cargo, have been arrested by order of this court, and detained from the lawful owners thereof; prays judgment, whether this honorable court will take any further cognizance of the said libel, and that the same be dismissed. Because he says,
1st. That the legality of the capture of the said brigantine Perseverance, and her cargo, has already been determined under the authority of the United States, and agreeably to the practice of nations, and in a mode required at the special instance of the libellants, by their public consular resident here.
2d. Because the custody and possession of said brigantine Perseverance, and cargo, by the said William Peck, Marshal as aforesaid, were had in due course of law, and not under the authority of this court, and therefore the disposal thereof is not within the jurisdiction of this court.
3d. Because the libellants have not complained in their said libel of the illegality of the sale of said brigantine Perseverance, and cargo, by said Peck, nor of any unlawful interference on his part; and the said sale being made on the land, and within the body of the county of Providence, in open market, the Admiralty can have no jurisdiction.
4th. Because, if the libellants are entitled to receive the said monies, proceeding from the sale of said brigantine Perseverance and cargo they have a clear remedy for the same, at common law, in the Circuit Court of the United States, under an action of assumpsit, for monies received to use.
5th. Because the said brigantine Perseverance, and cargo, by the libellants own showing, at the time of the alleged capture thereof, were the property of some of the subjects of the King of Great Britain, and the same were captured on the high seas, and not within any of the waters of the United States, and more than one marine league from any of the shores thereof, by the crew of the armed schooner Sans Pareille, belonging to citizens of the French Republic, commanded by a French citizen, and manned with more than two thirds of her crew by French seamen and marines, and bearing a commission of war under the French Republic, the citizens of which were then, and still are, at open war with the King of Great Britain and his subjects; and that the United States are a neutral nation in the present war; wherefore, by the laws of nations, the courts of the United States can have no jurisdiction or authority to determine the question of prize or no prize, between the citizens of the French Republic and their public enemies, or to restore to such enemies what has been taken from them on the high seas, by the citizens of the said Republic. Wherefore, for the reasons aforesaid, the said John Baptiste Bernarde prays this honorable court to take no further cognizance of the libel aforesaid, but that the same be dismissed. PETREZ MORTON, Attorney to Jean Baptiste Bernarde.
UNITED STATES. Rhode-Island District Court, November Term, 1794.
In case of Thomas Jennings &c. British subjects, libellants against the brig Perseverance, and her cargo, on the money arising from the sale thereof, in the hands of William Peck, Esq. Marshal of said district; and upon which John Baptiste Bernarde, &c. citizens of the French Republic, are claimants and respondents.
Upon mature consideration of the allegations in the libel contained, and of the plea of the claimants against the jurisdiction of this court thereon, and of the arguments of the counsel of the respective parties, and the various authorities adduced, it appears to me, that the reasons assigned, or most of them, are to the merits of the cause, and not to the jurisdiction of the court: That they are altogether insufficient to take the cognizance and jurisdiction of this court from the present cause as set forth in said libel: And therefore I do sustain the jurisdiction of the court thereon.
HENRY MARCHANT, Judge of the said Court.

CARLISLE, Nov. 19. The returns from the different Election districts of Cumberland county and the city of Carlisle, produced on Monday last, agreeable to law, it appeared that Samuel Hutchinson was elected Senator; and David Mitchell, John Montgomery, and Jacob Cramer were elected members of Assembly; and William Alexander, Comptroller.
The votes for a Representative in Congress were as follows;
HARRISBURGH, Nov. 17. The following gentlemen are chosen the electors of this country, to the
several offices annexed to their names: John Keen, and Gabriel Heister, Esq's. Senators in the General Assembly.
Jacob Weirich, Christian King, and Valentine Shouffler, Esq's. members of Assembly.
David Krause, Esq. commissioner. In our next we shall be enabled to inform the public the candidate elected for member of Congress. The number of votes for this county, stand as follows: General John A. Hanna, had 1011 votes.
John Carson, Esq. 438 do. Samuel M'Clay, Esq. 43 For Sheriff, John Elder, Esq. had 888 votes, and Alexander Montgomery, Esq. 723.
Our last accounts from the army state, that it was daily expected the main body would receive orders for marching homeward; a number, however, were enlisting, it is supposed, for the purpose of remaining SUR LE CAMP, to eradicate every propensity to opposition and disobedience, which might perhaps take place hereafter. The inhabitants of those parts, we are happy to assert, are now sensible, that the civil authority is fully competent to enforce the laws, and to punish both past and future offences, inasmuch as the people at large are determined to support every description of civil officers in the legal discharge of their duty.
The beginning of last week, a man in Lebanon, about 25 miles from this town, who has had, for a while past, some disagreement with one of his neighbours, and being led on by liquor, passion and the devil, beat the object of his revenge in such a manner, that put an end to his life. The jury summoned on the body of the deceased, brought in their verdict, "That he was wilfully murdered." The criminal has since been committed to the jail in this town.
PHILADELPHIA, NOVEMBER 24.
Says A Correspondent, If a man in France says a word against the revolutionary government, he is taken up as an enemy to the people—an aristocrat—a counter-revolutionist. How happens it that our mouthing democrats in this country set up the same cry against any one that says a word for government? According to their notions, the conduct that makes an aristocrat in France, indicates a tip-top republican in America.
The Constitution has been the admiration of the philosophic world. But which will most raise their wonder, that the people should at first agree to adopt it, in spite of so many separate interests, or lately to defend it in spite of so many lies? If the former event should be thought the better evidence of American penetration, the latter will to all nations and to all future times equally illustrate their steadiness and virtue. To disperse an army of whiskey men, required only a stronger army. To disperse the more numerous and formidable hosts of lies that set the whiskey-men in array, demanded a resource which no other country than America could rely on—found sense enough among the body of the citizens to discern that host.
The monarchy-men. Much fruitless labour has been employed to give a currency to this term. It would answer a thousand pretty purposes at an election to get the name fixed on federal men. But it has been tried and will not go. There is perhaps no bug-bear that will not scare some children and some old maids. Most grown people, however, see whom this reproachful name will not fit: it will not suit those who on every occasion would have the laws reign. When Robespierre reigned, and like a bloody tyrant, his will being his law, our pretended democrats admired his principles and character. One party advocates the reign of the laws, the other the reign of an usurper: which of them approaches the nearest to monarchy principles?
How is a man to shew he is a patriot? The only answer to be extracted from our insurgent Gazettes is—Let him bestow all his approbation and his confidence on the other side of the Atlantic.

BOSTON, Nov. 15.
FEDERALISM of VERMONT,
A motion was lately made in the legislature of Vermont, censuring the executive law, appropriating the opposition to
it by the Whisky boys, and charging the President with a stretch of power in calling out the militia to suppress the insurgents, and urging the Governor's representation to Congress of their sentiments. This motion was carried.
The next day, a motion was made, expressive of the danger of democratic societies; that their existence threatened serious consequences to the existing government, and that every good citizen and legislator, should use their utmost endeavours to destroy them. This was withdrawn to give place to another, "That the vote of the preceding day should be erased from the records;" which was carried by a large majority.
In consequence, a mob collected, and burnt Mr. SAMUEL PAINE (who seconded the second motion) in effigy. The election for federal senator succeeded four days after, and PAINE was chosen.
CRIME OF FANATICISM.
[From "The Eastern Star," a new paper printed at Hallowell.]
Hallowell, Oct. 29. In our last was mentioned the murder of the wife of Peter Warren, by Henry McCaulling. Perhaps it may be well to state some of the circumstances which led to the horrid murder. It appears that McCaulling has lately become deluded in matters of religion. For some time past he has principally associated himself with a party of Baptists, living on a plantation back of Patten, headed by one Sunson, and two or three others. In one of his paroxysms of religious insanity, he burnt an elegant church, in the town of Patten. He says that Stinson told him that his brother Edward Fortis, who was lately executed for the murder of Pamela Tilton, was certainly gone to Heaven, and that the road to heaven was marked with blood. McCaulling thought as Fortis had gone to heaven, he should go there too, provided he used the same means. After he had reasoned himself into the propriety of going to heaven in blood, who should tell him by his hand was his next object of inquiry. He pitched on Mrs. Warren, went to her house and enquired after her, and finding that she had gone to visit a sick mother he pursued her in a dark night, through woods, & over river, which were almost impassable by day. When he arrived at the fatal spot he found her sitting behind, and holding up her sick mother's head. Waiting his opportunity, he leapt on her back, with his left hand, and with his right drew a knife from his pocket, where he had concealed it, and instantly cut her throat, without her being able to say more than this—"McCauling, are you going to murder me?" He immediately fled, but was soon arrested and committed to jail, where he must remain for the sentence that awaits him.
Fanaticism only, led this poor mortal astray. Let those who have been the means, see well to it that they clear themselves of the blood which has been spilt. It seems, by his own confession, that he had not only marked the Rev. Mr. Warren and others, as objects of destruction, but his own family, he intended should fall by his own hands.
SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 18.
FEDERAL REGISTER. We hear that the hon. Theodore Sedgwick is re-elected a Representative to Congress, for the first western district. In the second western district, from what we have been able to collect, the votes appear to be nearly divided between Messrs. Shepard and Lyman. In the fourth western district, it is said, Levi Lincoln, Esq. is elected. Samuel Lyman, Esq. is undoubtedly elected in this district. The hon. Fisher Ames is again chosen.
From the times a Boston Paper Among the number of our fellow citizens who gave their suffrage for a Representative at the late election, was a person in the dress of a sailor. On entering the hall, he was accosted by one of the party, distributing votes for Mr. Jarvis, with "be're good man, take this and vote for that friend to mankind, Dr. Jarvis. "I have my vote already," replied the seafaring man. "Who do you vote for?" rejoined the questioner. "For that invaluable staple commodity of our country." replied he, folding his vote at the same time, and shewing him part of the name of the gentlemen chosen viz FISH!
A MAN who made his nose the reservoir of many a bag of snuff and whose handkerchief had become the receptacle of the metamorphosed matter which issued therefrom, and which if ever in the wash-tub, never wanted to be there more than at the present time, was asked by a friend, "What he intended to do with it?"—"I do with it?" replied the snuffer—"Why roll it up, and use it for segars!"

They had taken a great number of prizes, one of which was taken in fight, a Scotch brig from the Straights, laden with silks, &c. and said they were ordered to remain in that latitude for some weeks.

For the Information of the Merchants.
The committee having been notified by the Secretary of State, that the Agent of claims and appeals appointed by the President of the United States is to embark immediately for London, and that he is authorized to bind the United States under the direction of Mr. Jay, for the costs and damages, attending the prosecution of the claims of American citizens; that the necessary counsel will be engaged on the part of the United States, and that if the parties will obtain copies of the proceedings of the Courts on their respective cases, the expenses of the records will be reimbursed by the United States.
They are of opinion that measures ought to be immediately taken for obtaining authenticated copies of such records and proceedings in all cases where they have not already been preserved, and will undertake to obtain them for all such of their fellow-citizens as shall within 20 days from this date furnish the names of the vessels and masters; the ports or places where tried or condemned, with such other information as the circumstances of the case may require.
They recommend to those who have already obtained the copies of the proceedings of the Courts to have them examined by some person of legal knowledge; that if they should be found defective in any respect the deficiency may be supplied, at the same time that the records are applied for.
In behalf of the Committee. THOMAS FITZSIMONS. November 6, 1794.
NOTICE

A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings
OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia.
WHEN a sufficient Subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance.
The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c.
A summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church.
As various opinions have been entertained respecting the valuable works of Swedenborg, and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead thereof, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlighted Author, as well as his Works, we cannot but candidly and sincerely inquire into the Truths of the highest importance, and seriously examine those Works, for the light in which it is to be hoped, the being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and at the end receive both profit and delight.
