AMERICA.

NEw-YORX, 27.—1 n the Legislattne of
Pennsylvania, the 23d instant, a Bill was passedfOr
removing the seat of Government to 14arrisburgh,
and, 50,000 dollars appropriated for the purpose of
building the necessary offices, &c. previous to the
year 1808.

A Writer in the Washington Fecleralist of the 22d
inst. speaking of General AR'ts•raorc, says, "
though we are not informed whether the Minister
has been recalled, yet we can venture to inform the
Public that .Government have dire&ed that Gentle-
man to unsay much of what he has been too liberal
in saying to the French Government."
JAN. 28.—The Marquis DE CASA YRUJO ad-
dressed a Note, dated the gth ult. to the Secretary of
State, on the subje& of the existing differences be-
tween this Country and Spain, containing animad-
versions.on such parts of the President's Message as
had a reference to these differences. This Note the
Marquis expe&ed would be published ; but, to use
his own words, " after waiting for more than forty
days in expe&ation of this a& of justice, he found
he had waited in vain ;" and therefore, on the 21st
curt. he addressed a Card to the different Foreign
Ministers accredited to our Government, with a copy
of the Note, authorising them to give publicity to
both. From the tenor of the Note, it does not seem
probable that the differences between the two
Powers wid be easily adjusted.
JAN. 29.--. Captain [lA:wry has brought a file of
the Political an 4 Conzaicre;al Gazette of Hayti to
the i Bth December. In one of them is a Decree of
the Emperor, of the 24th November, prohibiting the
importation of Salt, in Foreign Vessels, under pe-
nalty of confiscation.
A few days before Capt. HARVEY sailed, intelli-
gence reached Cape Francois, that three Italian Ves-
sels, two Ships and a Brig, which , had sailed from
Italy for Carthagcna, on the Spanish Main, having,
in the' expeaation of making a great voyage, entered
the port of Aux Cayes, the crews were immediately
arrested,-by order of DESS'ALINES, and thrown into
prison; they were afterwards tried, condemned, and.
all of them executed, on the ground thit Botia-
?..lßTE, being the King of Italy, was their Sovereign,
and they must consequently suffer as his subjects.—
(Char/. Courier.)
NEW-YORK, JAN. 30.—Arrived at Savannah the
I ith inst. Schooner Jos-eph, Capt. CONN, from Cape
Francois, via New Providence, 4days from the iat ter.
Capt. CONN was taken by five English Men of W:ir,
was carried into New Providence ; after a detenti.)ii
of 15 days, was permitted to depart on paying 700
dollars cost of Court.

Capt. Corm corroborates the account under the "
Nassau head : He says that he saw at. Nassau C.l,pt.
RILEY, diret from Teheritfe, which 'place. he left
about the 7th December, v..-no informed him th:it the
Rochefort Squadron, un-ler the cola anand of Mons.
Ls ALMAINE, consisting of five Sail of ate Line, two,
Frigates, a Brig and Cutter, had put into Santa
Cruz, in said Island,, to water, several days prior to
his sailing, bringing with them the Calcutta Enllish
50 gun Ship, and six English ludia•merchant Ships,
taken on their homeward-bound pas age; an em-
bargo was immediately laid. On the sth the SqUa-
dron again put' to sea ; on the 7th, the day which
Capt-RILEY sailed, he fell in with the Squadron
then in sight of Teneriffe, and saw then,- capturing
the. outward-bound Cork Fleet, consisting of about
40 Sail, one of which, being a fast sailer, escaped ;
spoke Capt. RILEY, and informed him, that it was
probable the most of them would fall into the hands
of the- French.

Fta. 4.—Capt. LEWIS, arrived at Baltimore from
Trinidad, informs that the attempt of an Insurrec-
tion among the Blacks was nearly quelled; three of
the principal Negroes engaged in it had been appre-
hended and hung. Martial Law was to have been
taken off a few days after. Accounts had reached
Trinidad that there bad been an Insurrection among
the Blacks at Tobago.
A Letter from Aux-Cayes, dated December 27,
says, " The Negroes in this neighbourhood aro iu
a state of revolt, and have possession cf a Fort about
ten miles distance. The Troops are beating to arms.
The ground of complaint is, that the Government
exaet too great a proportion' of the produce."
It is pretty generally known in the City, that the.
Leander, which cleared out 8 or 10 days since for
Jacqueinel, was not in reality. bound for Hayti.--,
Having taken on board a large quantity of Nave
Stores, Artillery, and Ammunition,' a considerable
number of Artisans, and several Military Charac-
ters, it was conceived by many that she was destined
for some other quarter. From a cone& source we
learn that she is bound for a Port in the Gulf of
Mexico ; probaliy New Orleans. The Dons in
that quarter, as well as elsewhere, arc very insolent.
By the return of the Piloti a large bundle 'of let-
ters were- received from the persons on board the
Leander, addressed to their friends, from which we
learn, they were all in high spirits, perfectly sails.
lied with their destination, which appears to be..

decidedly New Orleans. the great number of horse
colleaed by the Marquis IlSrl Casx CALvo, on the
frontiers of Louisiana, has occasioned a very lively
sensation in that distria. It is conjeCtured that from
the number of pikes shipped on board this Vessel,
and others making at Springfield and at West Point,
that our Troops will be new organized, and formed
in three ranks, the first and. second of musquetry;
and the third rank with pikes of fo feet, which
when charged are a perfect` proteaion against Ca-
valry.
NEW-YORK, FEB. 6.—A late Trinadad Paper
contains the following particular Account of an at-
tempt by the Blacks:in that Island to rise in a body,'
massacre the white and free coloured People, and
burn the towns.

EXTRACTS FROM THE MINUTES OF HIS MAJESTY'S
COUNCIL, PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF HIS EXCEL-
LENCY AND THE BOARD.

Trinidad, Courril Cbamlr, Dec. 20, 1805.

The Clerk of the Council. is direEted by his Ex-
cellency the LieutenantLGovernor and Council, for
the satisfaalion and information of the Public, to
communicate through the public Newspapers, that
on the will instant his Excellency laid before the
Board some information he had received, which in-
duced them to think that a plan of the most san-
guinary nature was in agitation among the Negroes
of the Colony, and, consequently, issued orders for
the apprehension of several suspeeled Negroes, in
the course of the evening of that day : aifd from the
t ith inst. vaitil the 13th inst. the Lieutenant-Gover-
nor and Council,with the eXception of one day only,
have been sitting to a late hour every day, for the pour-'
pose'of examining into the plot. Yesterday the Lieut.-
Governor and Council deemed it their duty (having
ascertained that, es the superior Tribunal, they are
the proper Court to take cognizance of matters of
this sort) to, arrest themselves in the progress of
their examinations, in order to proceed upon the
trial. of those of whose guilt. there 'could not be the
least doubt, and accordingly four were found "guilty
of attempting to excite .an insurrection among the
Negroes of this Colony." Upon one, for particular
reasons, it has been advisable not yet to pass judg-
ment.

Sampson, belonging to Madam ScrrnrsTat, Bhp-,
List, and Carlos, belonging to CH 4RLES MEL-
VILLE, Esq. were sentenced to be hanged, their
hbads severed from their bodies ; the latter to be
• hung in chains,
and the heads stuck up; and they
were yesterday executed accordingly.
It was proved that Sampson was King of the Ma-
cacque it,.giment, Baptist King of the Cocorite Re-.
g!rnent, and Codas a General in Chief of the latter.
Vrom what has hillwrto transpired, it appears that
the in::?rnai • project which was in agitation first
emanated frc-,!n the Carenage, and appears to have
been corifnd to the Regiments bearing; the follow,
itr; nam,:=.;, viz. Macacque, Sans-pew', Cocorite, and
St, .(73.-tore. That of the Sans-pour and St. George's
Re invents there were two battalions, one of each at
the Carenage, the. other in town ; the Macacque
Regiment, was confined to the Carenage, the Coco-
_rite to the town and outskirts of it. .

That the intention of the insurreaion was only
known to their chiefs, they hai-ing constantly re-
fused admittance to Women and inferior C.).-ticers to
their secret meetings, observing the die business
which on such occasions occupied their deliberations
was not a matter for women or boys.

ber. and arrived at Teneriffe on the sth of Nov.

They had sunk several English Ships that had very
valuable cargoes, on account of their bad sailing,
not being able to keep up with the Squadron ;
-hat they had uniformly burnt or sunk all neutral
Vessels they fell in with at Sea, that were either
bound to or along the Coasts of Europe, to prevent
intelligence getting to the English Fleets ; that they

go with them to -France, and should be-paid by the
Government the full amount, xvith damage,- &e.
