AMERICAN PAPERS.

Yefferday we received New York Papers to the
23d ult. They contain feveral long articles refpeerng
a charge again the Editor of a Newfpaper, called
the "Aurora," of having improperly publifhed cer-
tain • difpatches addreffed to the Britifh
which he had furteptitioufly obtained.
The United States Gazette of the 23d, gives the fol.
lowing extra& from theAnrora refpe.ting this fubjeet.
The Editor of the Aurora has commenced a format
defence of the letter-Healing affair which came to
light a few days ago. The firong point of his defence
is, that it was a meafure of retaliation for the inter-
ception and publication of Admiral Willaumefs
patches to the French Ambaffador. We fobjoin his
words, that we may not be accufed of mifreprefent•
ling his meaning :

N We cannot pals the (*eel over, without calling to the re•
eolledtion of the public. a damning proof of the bah, dc;,revitl• of
the Britifh adhcrehts and tories.

" It is but a few months ago, that in a Fcderal Paper at Nor
folk, there were pnblifbcd varloosildteri and pape• i f.44l to be the
contents of a difpatch addrefted to the French Ambatlidor rd d, •
at Walhington
" When the dlfpatches addretTed to the French Ambs'ls :or
were intercepted, they were not foto ;r led to the Ambaif,,ne—
they were not forwarded to the Executive of the United • totes,
the only legitimate channel of communication of public concerns
between Citizens of the United States and Foreign Ministers—the
tint intimation of their exigence was their publication in a
Newfpaper.
" The difpatches to the Minifter of thin ftiendly paver were
flopped !
" Not alone flopped, but the American Governmeet was treated
with ft udied infult, by the publication of choir papers openly avow-
ed t o be intercepted."
The United States Gazette then proceeds to oh.
ferve, that the difpatches to the French Minifler,
alluded to in the above, were intercepted on the high
feas by a Britifh Officer, and were therefore pond
prize, but that he (the Editor of the Aurora) in
having obtained pan (Eon of the Britifh difpatches,
broken the teals, and publifiled their contents, could
not plead any Inch privilege ; that if he was a liege
fuhje& of Bonaparte, he might intercept Britifh
ters on the high feas, but not in the tirects of Phi.
ladel phia.
The Rutland (Vermont) Herald gives the follow.
ing extra& of a letter from Canada :
" The French militia have been turned out, and
the third brigade on Tuefday Jail. The Commander
called on thole he chofe—they being embodied, he
called for every fifth man to ttep fix paces out from
the main body. His rail was not obeyed in the lea.
Some laid they would not Rep out without the reit ;
and fume made bold to fay, they would not take up
arms againtt the Americans, but would join them
when they chore. Forty, who laid they would join
the Americans, were committed for mutiny, and will
have their trial to.morrow."

The American papers alfo Rate, that the Danifis
;Rands in the Weft Indies were declared in a Race of
blockade early in September. A valuable DaniQt
veffel, which attempted to enter one of their ports,
was captured and carried int" Jamaica.
Intelligence from St. Domingo, to the 22d Septem-
ber, had reached New York. NA chat period the do•
male war (ill continued. Chriltophe was on the
eve of letting out, at the head of an army of to,coc
men, to attack hi, rival, Petion. The latter was la
confiderable force, and it was expeded would make
a defperate relitlan:e.
The following PROCLAMATION had been iffued by
Chrittophe

LIMIT AND INDIPENDANCR!

His Eueller.cy the Prefident has aimounctd to the Army the

year of Independence,) (Signed)
HENRY CnittSTOPHI.
In the abferce of the Chief of the General Staffed the State,the
Brigadier of the Armies attached to the Gtnesal Stafk
j. H. LAPH•EL.
This Proclamation afferts, we believe, more than
the Prefident of Hayti was jutii6ed in declaring.—
We have no reafon to fuppofe that our Governmert
has gone fo far as to make a formal recognition of
his authority. So folemn an ad is not to be inferred
from the commercial intercom fe which Tome adven-
turous individuals have eltablifbed, and are laboig•
inn to extend with the State of Hayti.
• The difpatches are Rated to have been fent from Admiral
Berkeley, addreffed to Mr I. rfkine, and that a pilot, who wu
em-
ployed to carry them on thorn, gave the packet to a pedal to
convey to the Poft-Office, which perfon was prevailed upon by a
third petrol' to take it to the office of an American Paper attached
to the French caufe.
