MR. FENNO, GOVERNOR LEE, in an address to the back country people, is of opinion, that the virulent and foul disease of insurrection is not yet cured, although the most threatening symptoms have lately abated. He seems to think there will be no safety in depending on this flattering appearance, as long as any particle of the abominable political poisons they have swallowed remain upon their stomachs. They must come up or pass off, if strong drastic remedies, but such as are mild in comparison with lead, gun-powder and hemp, will help nature to expel them. He also insists that the clubs of political quacks and poison-sellers shall administer the antidote. In short, Sir, it is reported that he is resolved to make them swallow their own drugs. It may be right to forbid the selling of mountebank nostrums, and to punish the vendors; but as the punishment inflicted by law to the offence is only fine, imprisonment, &c. it is right and safe to the cause of liberty for a military commander to change the punishment to the penalty of death? and what is it but death, nay, it is a thousand deaths for a quack to swallow his own medicines. Their operation is slow, but so painful that a man may die ten times a day.
I am an unfortunate offender, and I am terrified at the threats of Governor Lee. I will not pretend to justify, scarcely to palliate, the crimes I have assisted in committing; but I think the threatened punishment cruel and unusual, and one of the amendments to the constitution prohibits the infliction of such. Altho' I am, or rather have been, a foe to the constitution, and have tried my utmost to make the back settlers dread and abhor it, yet I claim its privileges and protection. If the clubs and authors of the many lies against men and measures are to be forced to eat their own words, as it is threatened they shall, what is it but a sentence of death against them? we should be choaked—or if we could get them down, we should burst—we should explode like so many bombs. Governor Lee has a military force to subdue insurgents, but none to try and punish them with death.
For instance, will any man of common sense suppose it possible, or if it were possible, that it would not be fatal, for the author of some of the paragraphs in Mr. Bache's General Advertiser to swallow them himself. It would be easier for any other to do it. But surely the author could not do it—nay, the whole club could not. Any man, of the club might as well pretend to gulp down the Laurel mountain, or even the whole Allegheny, as to digest one paragraph in ten of that Gazette. Some affirm that the gallinaceous of the Chronicle is not half so corrosive. The famous Bohn Upas of Java has not infected a wider district of country at a time than either of them.
It would be supposed that a renegado from Europe who comes here to set up a club against the government, and to turn newspaper scribbler against the President, had been fed rather upon the rattle-snakes than the bread of America. Most persons will allow the former to be less venomous than the hired riddance which the wretched Genetines have lent beyond the Allegheny for more than a year past. Will the General Advertiser be able to unlay all its licentious paragraphs? Is it possible for one apothecary to eat up all the drugs in his own shop? Now the government has got the upper hand, it should proceed with lenity. The club and the writers in the General Advertiser ought not to be treated worse than galley-slaves for life. It would be worse than chaining them to an oar to force them to swallow their own stories, as they made the poor dupes the back-countrymen—that is to say, as truths. No, let the offenders be excused from saying their tales of slander are true—a milder sentence is, to oblige them to come forth in public, in the State-House yard, or at Parkinson's ferry, or Braddock's field, and proclaim all their Norfolk news, their thirteen letters on the funding system, the mystical revelation on the bank, their long winded speculations in Dunlap's paper on the excise, their calumnies on the treasury department, on federal men and measures, and almost all their exceptions to the constitutionality of appointments and acts, are chimeras, bug-bears, lies. In short, that they have preferred such trumpery, because the truth would not have answered their purpose as well.
For be it known to all good citizens, that ninety-nine parts in a hundred of all the aspersions on government and the friends of the government, which so laborious years have given to the
public thro' the newspapers, have been the work of less than ten persons in Boston, as many in New-York, and less than twice that number in Philadelphia. It is a fact, that less than forty persons have called themselves in the Gazettes, the people. Let our punishment be the lighter, as the perpetration of the crime in a great measure avenged the government. For what could be a harder task than we undertook.
The people freely adopted the constitution, and chose and re-chose federal men to administer it. Still we made it out in our three Gazettes that the people abhorred the system without certain amendments, which would have amounted to a repeal of the acts of ratification, and that they still more detested the administration. The seeds of sedition were sown freely, but they fell by the way side, or the plant withered soon after they had sprouted. Next we addressed the merchants on the imports, and proved to them against the proofs in their company houses that trade was oppressed and languishing. We proved to the owners of shipping that they were betrayed, and that navigation was sold to our rivals. Here we had to face impudent facts. Seamen, ships, freight and wages had increased and are increasing. We preached to the mechanics about their wrongs, but they were so hurried by the demand for their work, they would not stop to hear us. Labor, land and produce continued rising faster than we could raise our complaints of the oppression of agriculture by the laws of Congress. We talked of ruin to the prosperous, of grievances to the satisfied.
We whispered calumny to the magnanimous and the suspicious, and they believed it, because it seemed like shrewdness and sagacity to see thro' the mysteries which did not exist in the administration. With the credulous and the base our embarrassment was to find prodigious stories against the government fast enough to cram the ravenous appetite of their curiosity. We soon formed a select corps in each of the principal towns—Policy required that a printer should be of the number. We assured all Europe that the constitution they admired was a masked despotism, administered by knaves—that the supporters of the acts of Congress were influenced by base motives, by a conspiracy to set up monarchy, by a corrupt dealing in the public funds, and it was not our fault if Europeans were not deterred from coming over to a country which we represented as ready to be disorganised and convulsed. To the opposers of the excise we represented a settled design to sap the foundations of liberty by that act; we did not omit to tell them that the monarchy party and the rich speculators in Congress were to receive the tribute of their servility; the monied interest, born in corruption, was fattening on the spoils of the landholder. It is true the members of Congress were chiefly in very narrow circumstances, and those who voted for excise and for funding the debt, were almost entirely destitute of paper property. Bold assertions, however, answered our purposes to stir them up to a sudden flood of mutiny beyond the Allegheny. Bold assertions made by our party also convinced Mr. Genet that we were the people, and that we could and would support him against the President. By the impudent appeal to arms by the mountaineers, the secret of our weakness is exposed. Let the public which is safe as soon as we are known accept our true repentance, and let the affair of the insurrection be hushed. We promise faithfully that we will, if forgiven, proceed more prudently in future. We will not tell incredible lies; we will not tell the very same lies again; the General Advertiser shall be more decent—it shall even affect reformation and conversion—we will attempt our utmost to gain the confidence of the people; and when we have fully possessed ourselves of power, it will be our own folly if we have occasion to make any further atonement to the laws.
PETER PENITENT.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, Nov. 8.
THE ELECTION.
If the citizens of this Commonwealth could be influenced by the fallhoods of a certain paper, it might be necessary to declare to them, that the persons who voted for Mr. Ames, as Federal Representative, ever have been and now are solicitous to have a scrutiny of the voters on every election—as they are confident that Nineteen out of Twenty of the Merchants, independent Mechanics, and professional gentlemen, would be found the supporters of Ames, and the Peace and Happiness of their country.
TIT for TAT.
It is said in a certain paper, that "the number
of legal voters in this town is but 2132." In the election of Governor, &c. on the first Monday of April last, the number of votes in this town was 2301!—Consequently if that statement is true, the present Governor & Lt. Governor of this Commonwealth, have been illegally chosen! But not one word of illegal voting was listed in April last. The voters at the election for Gov. Adams were 1400—those for Dr. Jarvis only 1182! If Dr. J. had all the legal voters, from whom did Mr. Adams receive the surplus? But the assertion is too contemptible to merit serious notice!
Before the election, the Jacobin writers were railing against the Federalists, as being advocates for a scrutiny of votes; and calling on the citizens to set their faces against it—and had the election gone in their favor, we should have heard nothing from them but exultations and congratulations to their brother Jacobins. The grumbling since, may therefore be fairly imputed to chagrined disappointment.
PLAIN ARGUMENT.
In the Chronicle of Thursday it is said, that "as a proof that persons not belonging to the town voted in the late Elections, it is only necessary to observe that the number of rateable polls from 16 years old and upwards, is 3632. Upon the most moderate calculation, we may suppose there is under 21 years, 150. The whole number of legal voters is therefore 2132, and 2811 votes were given in. Consequently, there were 681 voters on this occasion, more than was constitutionally qualified."
The following facts will shew, that this conclusion is erroneous, and that the number of rateable polls in the town is estimated much too low. By the census taken in the year 1790, there were found to be in Boston 2376 dwelling houses and 18038 inhabitants, which are, upon an average, seven persons and six tenths to a house. By an actual enumeration made a few months ago, the number of the houses was found to have increased to 2500.—Consequently, if the same proportion holds the number of inhabitants must now be 19000. In 1790, there was 4325 white males of 16 years old and upwards—consequently their number must now be 4535. By accurate bills of mortality, and other means, it is demonstrated, that the number of persons between 16 and 21, is about one eleventh of the whole number of inhabitants in Massachusetts. There are then in Boston 1727 persons between 16 & 21; of whom not more than 863 can be males. These deducted from 4555, leave 3692 males above 21. The voters at the late election were 2811. There remain therefore 881 for persons not qualified to vote and for those who did not chuse to exercise their right. No account is made of the blacks in this calculation; but as their number is small, probably not more than 800 of every age and sex, they would not if introduced, materially affect the conclusion.
FIRST MIDDLE DISTRICT
The result has been in the towns of Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, Newton Dedham, Needham, Weston, East-Sudbury, Brookline, Sherburne, Holliston, Hopkinton, Natick, Sharon, and Medway, the towns which compose the district, as follows:
For Mr. AMES. For Dr. JARVIS 2183 1564
A majority of 519 in favour of Mr. AMES—who is elected. Mr. AMES had large majorities in the towns of Boston, Newton, Dedham, Needham, Weston, East-Sudbury, Sherburne and Sharon, and a majority of 74 votes in the county towns.
IN THE SECOND MIDDLE DISTRICT.
Mr Dexter has as yet a small majority of the votes. We have not heard from all the towns; but from what we can collect from hearsay evidence, we imagine that Mr. Dexter will lack a few votes of a majority in the first but from the federalism of several of the characters voted for, there cannot remain a doubt of his succeeding at the second choice. He now has some hundred votes more than any other Candidate. We hope however, a choice will now be made.
In third District Mr. Goodhue, is unquestionably chosen; although Dr. Holton has a number of votes. They are both firm friends to the Peace and Happiness of their country.
In the fourth Middle District no choice is expected the first trial—Messrs. Bradbury, Bartlett and Smith, of Newburyport, each have a number of votes.
In the first Southern District, Nathaniel Freeman, Jun a firm Federalist.—And in the third Southern District, the Rev. Mr. Reed, it is expected, are chosen. The best friends of our National Government, do not regret the choice of Mr. Reed.
In the other Southern District, the contest is between Gen. Cobb and Mr. Leonard. Our accounts from thence are not sufficiently accurate to form an opinion on. Both firm Federalists.
In the Western District it is expected, Messrs. Sedgwick, S. Lyman, and Gen. Shepard, will be elected—although the competitor of the former, who is Gen. Skinner, a worthy man, and good
federalist—and the latter, who is Mr. W. Lyman, will have many votes.
From the Eastward we have not accurately learnt—The hon. Mr. Wells, of York, is likely to succeed in that country.—The choice in the others is precarious.
NEW-YORK, Nov.
The state of Europe, at the date of our last accounts was nearly as follows.
The French armies on the north were pursuing their victories. The Duke of York was compelled to cross the Maese, and leave Breda and Bergen-op-Zoom to be defended by their garrisons. By this retreat of the English and Dutch troops, those fortresses are left without any hope of external succor. The French have done there as they did on their own frontiers—they have passed by the strong places to reduce which would take time and delay their progress, and Breda and Bergen-op-Zoom, thus left in the midst of the enemy's conquests, must follow the fate of Valenciennes and Conde. This plan of leaving strong holds behind an army is not often hazarded; and never can be safe, except when an army is greatly superior to its foes.
One of the largest divisions of the French army is near Maestricht, a strongly fortified town, the taking of which will open a passage for the French to the Rhine. Should the French succeed in cutting off all communication between the Duke of York and the Austrian Cordon on the Maese, the Duke must retire to Amsterdam, and take shipping for safety.
The French now conquer by terror. The strongest garrisons surrender without resistance to prevent the danger of a general massacre, which the French threaten in case of opposition.
Already has news arrived that Breda and Gertruydenberg have surrendered; and Bergen-op-Zoom, Rotterdam and Amsterdam will doubtless soon follow.
On the East and South, although the French do not make the same rapid progress, yet their armies are victorious in Spain and Italy.
The report of the retaking of Fontarabia, rests on slight evidence; and if true, later reports by the Courrier arrived at Baltimore, state that the French have regained their advantages in that quarter.
The union of Geneva with the French Republic, is an event of consequence; not on account of any great accession of strength to France, but because it marks the progress of the general spirit of Revolution in Europe.
In this latter view, the Insurrection in South Prussia is an event of great Magnitude. As a diversion in favor of the Poles, it is at this critical moment, highly important; but as a proof of a spirit of revolt, in the heart of Europe, against the present Gothic establishments, it is to be considered as highly interesting to all Europe.
Reports mention a disposition in Basle, in Switzerland to throw off the fetters of aristocracy. Whether true or not, the late proclamation of the Avoyer of Bern is a proof, that the spirit of regeneration is spreading among the Cantons, and excites the apprehensions of the present government.
In the midst of these great events, the energy of freedom begins to be displayed in discoveries and improvements in science and mechanics.
We have published the discovery made in France of extracting fixed alkali from the Chetnut. The telegraphic instrument for conveying intelligence from place to place in a short time, is an astonishing improvement. News is now sent 200 miles in two or three hours, and dispatches sent from Paris to Lisle and answered, two or three times in a day.
England, the strength and sinews of the confederacy against France, makes a most obstinate resistance. She is courting the continuance of the war at her expense: but it is obvious that the affairs of Europe are becoming so desperate, that no great combinations can be formed against any power, which can be durable.
They must soon crumble to pieces Emperors and Kings grow jealous of their subjects; and the necessity of quelling domestic troubles will disconnect all powerful operations abroad.—Even G. Britain is in a critical state, although her insular situation, & the combination of her powerful landed and mercantile interests may sustain the tottering fabric of her government, longer than most of her continental neighbors.
On the whole we hesitate not to say, that from present and past events, we are led to believe, that the Revolution of Europe is but just commenced, and that nothing short of the Russian and
Turkish Empires will restrain its progress.
Theodore Sedgwick Esq. is re-elected to Congress for the first Western district in Massachusetts.
It is said that Gen. Shepard is elected a representative in Congress in opposition to Col. Lyman, in the second Western District.
HARTFORD, Nov. 10.
Saturday last the bricklayers finished the brickwork of the new State House, in this City. We are informed that the roof of the building will be completed before winter.
The New Prison, which was consumed by fire last spring is now rebuilt, and ready for the reception of prisoners. Long, very long may the gloomy apartments of this dreary edifice remain uninhabited! So prays humanity.
BOSTON, November 6.
From Spain, Direct.
A vessel has arrived at Cape Ann in 36 days from Bilbao. By her we learn, that at the time of sailing, Bilbao was not then taken by the French, as reported; nor were the inhabitants under any apprehensions of such an event. The French had penetrated but a few leagues into Spain; the Spaniards were strongly entrenched, and the most spirited exertions were making, not only to check the French, but to force them to quit the kingdom. The utmost confidence was placed in their general, the count La Union; and that merchants of the first eminence had gone into the army, at the head of battalions and companies of Biscayan.
Capt. Snow, of the snow William, in 21 days from Havana, left there the ship Governor Mifflin, Captain Church, to sail in 7 days. The brig Flora, Cassin, and ship Tilton, of Philadelphia. The ship Washington, from Philadelphia arrived the day Capt. S. failed. He spoke the brig Betsey, Capt. White, out 12 days, off the Mexican.
On the 6th November, spoke the ship Polly of Nantucket, Capt. Starbuck, from C. Good Hope. Had been out 14 months on a whaling voyage.
In consequence of a large fleet preparing to sail for Europe, an embargo was to have taken place at the Havannah on the 11th inst. to continue 20 days.
PHILADELPHIA,
NOVEMBER 13.
By accounts from the army, we learn that a military force is to be stationed in the Western Countries for nine months; and that seven hundred Infantry, four troops of Horse, and one company of Artillery, are already enlisted to serve for that period.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, dated Sept. 12th, 1794.
"Two unfortunate victims (Watt and Downie) have been by the same court who tried Messrs. Muir, Palmer, &c. just condemned to suffer death, in the next month; as follows: "To be hanged by their necks, but not till they are dead; then to be taken down, and their entrails cut out, their hearts to be burned in their sight, and their bowels thrown in their faces; their bodies to be quartered, and to be at the disposal of his Majesty." Does not horror seize your heart? Do not tears dart into your eyes? Does not indignation arrest your every sense, at reading this worse than devilish sentence, especially when you are informed that their crime is, walking in the same path for reform that Muir and Palmer walked, but perhaps a step farther? Such is the punishment of, or for those, who dare openly to shew their disapprobation of corrupt State craft, and diabolical Priestcraft; you may view yourself happy (among all your inconveniences) that you have escaped from our house of bondage.
"We seem here in a national view, to be fast hastening on to ruin and destruction, tho' it cannot be known to what extent the industry of the people may furnish "the powers that are," with money to subsidize the German butchers to extirpate the French Republicans, or to dragoon themselves into silent submission; but certain it is, that millions are leaving the land, to fill German Coffers; and the industry of unborn generations is pawned to pay the interest of money borrowed for that purpose, and to keep things here as "they are."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the Militia army, dated Pittsburgh, November 7.
"The rapid marches made by the army frequently prevented our baggage

reaching us until about the time we were ordered to march again—Thus two nights were we without house, barn, tent or blanket, to cover us, and it raining very hard all the time. For many days have we been without provisions until four, five, or six o'clock, and starting before sunrise, there was no time to eat; for striking tents and throwing away baggage engaged us altogether, and before the waggons could reach us it frequently was six o'clock. In two instances, as before mentioned, when the rain occasioned very bad roads, we were stuck every thing—But "he would be a soldier the sweet Willy O."
"Thus much for the unfavourable side of a soldier's life—now reverse the scene at least so far as respects myself—No sooner does the drum beat in the morning than up I start, and away to my canteen where a precious draft of new distilled whiskey animates and revives me. This being done, away to fire, where in ten minutes you will hear more genuine wit than Philadelphia will afford in a month. When we halt at night our tents being pitched, we sit down on the straw, cover ourselves over with blankets, and push about the canteen so busily, that at length we are obliged to lie down: A sound sleep then enables us to endure a repetition of fatigue—and so on. I am cook to our mess, and am pretty famous for my beef steaks and pancakes—the latter we are obliged to make as we cannot draw bread—flour only being given and for the making of which the following is a recipe—Take of flour 1lb. of water 1 gill or half a little more (let the water be of the cleanest you can procure otherwise your cakes will be gritty)—mix those well into a sort of dough; then fill a frying pan with the same, and over a gentle fire let it bake: when one side is sufficiently done, turn your cake and do the other side. N.B. don't make this too public."
"Notwithstanding all hardships, there is not a single acquaintance of mine in the whole army that is sick—Little W.—has had the ague, but getting very wet one day has entirely cured him."
"The army lies about twenty four miles from hence, between Parkinson's ferry, on the Monongahela, and Simonson's on the Young: the two rivers are about five miles apart. The Pennsylvania and Jersey lines have not crossed the latter river, and probably will not—but Frelinghuysen's legion has."
"The business here seems entirely settled. How such civil polite people could have been so abused, is really inconceivable—not a man passes my cockade and sword, but takes off his hat."
Extrait of a Letter from Massachusetts, November 5.
"I most heartily congratulate you on the election of yesterday; the particulars you will see in the papers: I have not heard from all the towns, but I am well assured Messrs. Ames and Dexter are both re-elected. A more complete triumph of Truth over Falsehood, never was seen. I never took so much upon myself in elections before, but the cause was serious and very important: for the Club writers in the Lying Chronicle had circulated so many falsehoods, for such a length of time, and so many persons in the country towns read no other paper, it became necessary for the lovers of truth and friends to our country to exert their influence. The writings of Manlius , were read in all the towns by men of sense and influence and the facts and sentiments contained therein were told to the people; before the votes were given in some towns, a public discussion of characters took place, and the wisdom and patriotism of our good representatives were displayed; the designs of the clubs were held up to view: the highly important services of our beloved and dignified President, were turned to the view of all the people; and the vile conduct of those abandoned men who have polluted some newspapers with calumnies against him, were exposed to the contempt and detestation of the people. In short it was a day of political light, and the shadows of ignorance, and the mischief of designing men, fled before it. I fondly hope the same happy consequences may attend the elections through the Union, and the enemies to the peace of our country be compelled to cease from iniquity. By such discussions the people learn the truth, and are led to a just estimation of our happy government. Hereby the people see the danger and iniquity of Jacobin Clubs , and learn that public town meetings, where all the people are assembled, are the sure means of preserving liberty and supporting our free government."
These triumphs of truth and reason, will encourage our good President and the patriots in Congress, to persevere in their arduous duty, and tend great-
ly to perpetuate peace, liberty, and safety, to us and our children—for ages to come the example may be a guiding star.
From a London Paper of Aug. 24.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, Aug. 14.
Philadelphia, June 20th, 1794.
The undersigned, Secretary of State for the United States of America, has the honor of representing to the Committee of Public Safety for the French Republic, that on the 25th of April in the present year, it was unanimously resolved by the House of Representatives, as follows:— "That the letter of the Committee of Public Safety of the French Republic, addressed to Congress, be transmitted to the President of the United States, and that he be requested to cause the same to be answered, on behalf of this House, in terms expressive of their sensibility for the friendly and affectionate manner, in which they have addressed the Congress of the United States, with an unequivocal assurance, that the Representatives of People of the United States have much interest in the happiness and prosperity of the French Republic."
The President of the United States has conferred this honorable and grateful function to the Department of State. In no manner can it be more properly discharged than by seizing the occasion of declaring to the ally of the United States that the cause of liberty, in the defence of which so much American blood and treasure has been shed, is cherished by our Republic with increasing enthusiasm; that under the standard of liberty, wherever it shall be displayed, the affection of the United States will always rally; and that the successes of those who stand forth, as her avengers, will be gloried in by the United States, and will be felt as the successes of themselves, and the other friends of humanity.
Yes, Representatives of our ally; your communication has been addressed to those who share in your fortunes, and who take a deep interest in the happiness and prosperity of the French Republic.
EDMOND RANDOLPH, Secretary of State.
Philadelphia June 10, 1794.
The undersigned, Secretary of State for the United States of America, has the honor of communicating to the Committee of Public Safety for the French Republic, that on the 24th day of April 1794, it was ordered by the Senate of the United States that the letter of that Committee, addressed to Congress, be transmitted to the President and that he be requested to cause the same to be answered on behalf of the Senate in such manner, as shall manifest their sincere friendship and good will for the French Republic.
In executing this duty, which has been allotted by the President to the Department of State, the liberal succours which the United States received from the French Nation in their struggle for independence, present themselves warm to the recollection. On this basis was the friendship between the two nations founded; on this basis, and the continued interchanges of regard since, has it grown, and supported by these motives, it will remain firm and constant.
The Senate therefore tender to the Committee of public safety their zealous wishes for the French Republic; they learn with sensibility every success, which promotes the happiness of the French nation; and the full establishment of their peace and liberty will be ever esteemed by the Senate as a happiness to the United States and to humanity.
EDMOND RANDOLPH, Secretary of State.

WHITESTOWN, Nov. 5. And Satan came also among them.
A gentleman directly from Canandarque, informs, that 1600 Indians had come in to the treaty on Monday se'nnight—and also, that Wm. Johnson, a British Indian agent, and a Mr. Street, the Indian interpreter, from Niagara, were also there; and had found means to collect 26 chiefs in a bye place, and were haranguing of them in the most eloquent and flattering manner, when discovered by the inhabitants; they were using the most persuasive arts, together with offers of large presents,
to induce the Indians to turn their arms against the United States. The meeting broke up in disorderly manner. The inhabitants were greatly exasperated at this insolent conduct of British agents, and it is said they gave out, that if Col. Pickering did not cause their arrest, they would inflict upon them the Yankee punishment of tar & feathers.
The last mail brings nothing new from the army gone against the Pennsylvania Insurgents.
BALTIMORE, November 14.
A gentleman of this town, of considerable political information, was so kind as to extract for us the following paragraph from a letter which he has received from Bordeaux, dated September 19th.
"An attempt has been made to assassinate the famous Tallien. He received three wounds—none of which are mortal. He is in a fair way of recovery."
Barrere was also struck by the arm of an assassin. His wound is but slight."
On Tuesday last arrived here, from one of the small ports in Hispaniola, the Schooner Betsey , formerly commanded by Capt. Ray; who, with the mate and one man, died on the passage, leaving two men and a boy to navigate the vessel. A gale of wind having rendered her very leaky, for the preservation of their lives they were reduced to the necessity of heaving a part of the cargo overboard, consisting of 40 bags of coffee. Some time after, in an almost exhausted condition, spoke the brig Sally , Capt. Cochran, bound to Philadelphia, with a number of sailors, taken from different wrecks; but could obtain no assistance until they met with a sloop bound from Aux Cayes to New York; the Captain of which furnished them with an additional hand. This enabled them to bring the vessel safe on soundings, from whence they were conducted into this port by a Baltimore pilot.
STOCKBRIDGE, Nov. 11. FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVE.
If the returns which have been communicated to us are accurate (and we have the clearest evidence to believe them so) the Hon. THEODORE SEDGWICK, Esq. is elected Representative to Congress for this District. The number of votes received are 1335—of which Mr. SEDGWICK has 698—Mr. SKINNER 597—the scattering votes are 42—which leaves Mr. Sedgwick a majority of 61, in the whole number of votes.—There are two small towns only from which returns have not been received—their votes will not probably materially affect the election.
NEWBERN, Nov. 1.
On Saturday last; at 9 o'clock in the evening, a fire broke out at Mrs. Adams, in Craven street. A quantity of oakum which had been lodged in the kitchen loft, had been accidentally put on fire, by an old negro man. The kitchen, dwelling house and adjacent store were almost instantly in a blaze, and before the people could be alarmed and come to the place of conflagration, Mr. Thomlinson's house and out buildings on the left, and Mr. Taylor's store and ware house, and a shoemaker's shop on the right, were so far in flames, that no possible exertion could have saved them. The next house in the same direction, was timely blown up, to prevent, with the assistance of one of the engines and the activity of the inhabitants, the conflagration from extending any further that way. The house occupied by Mr. James Davis, was burning in a number of places: the fire was however extinguished there. On the other side of the street, Mr. Pinckney's store and the adjoining one, were kept with the utmost difficulty so wet that the fire on its roof, and sides was subdued.

It is said that the payment of the interest upon the capitals invested in our funds by the States of the Austrian Netherlands is stopped till further orders.
Prince Philip of Lichtenstine has found means to escape from his prison in France, and is arrived at this capital, to the great joy of his family.
The reason why the states of the Austrian Netherlands were so anxious about the vessels stopped by the Prince de Cobourg was; that they contained not only their private papers, but their laws and privileges.

To the Public. 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. 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 these invaluable writings 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 enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will leisurely examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that 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 in the end receive both profit and delight.
