NEW YORK. DEC. 3.

The vilit of General Moreau to the weftward, and
the expedition of hit travelling, has excited a variety
of conjedrate in the political world. A friend of the
General has handed us the following account of the
motives of his journey, which will fully fatisfy the
curir,fity, and allay the fufpicions of th.fe who are
always watching the movements of great charade's:
" The General had fame time ago the misfortune
cf ',sling his only f^n. His Lady has elf() been under
the neceflity of returning to Fiance, in order to fettle
finallyfome family concrrns. Such painful levitation,
ad :led to !he dreadful lois which he had jolt experi-
enced, have rendered his honfe fo totally difagree
able to him, that, in order to divert his griefi, he
has determined to take this extortion, and vifit the
Olio and MilEfllppi, as far down as New (Means.
His intention is to remain only a few days at the fat
ter place, as he willies to be in Charlefion next Fe-
bruary, and in New York the following month.
The feafon being fo far advanced, made it ne
c: ffiry for him to travel with fome rapidity, and it
was only a few days before he left New York that he
was informed a palfage could be pro, used.
" This explanation was perhaps unnecefftry, for
no perfon of common lenfe will imagine, that one of
the greatell Generals of the age, fliould be willing
to change his high fame for that of an adventurer."
The Senate of the United States have appointed
a Committee to invelligateithe comfit& of John Smith,
Senator of the United States from the State of Ohio,
a: it relates to his connelinns with Aaron B..rr.
Mr. Smith is laid to be at Welhington.
A refoltition has pallid the Houle of Reprefenta-
tives of the State of Maryland, granting leave to
bring in a Bill, entitled an At to abolilh all fuch
parts of the Conflitution and form of Government
as relate to the time and manner of eleding the Se-
nate, and the mode of filling up vacancies in that ,
body.—Yeas ail—Nays 9.
The Philadelphia True Americas of Monday contain-
ed the following article :
ss Fleeing information.—We are informed by a gen-
tleman, upon whole corre&nefs and veracity we can
implicitly rely, that Mr.Jefferfon has lately obfer red,
that ample reparation would be made by the Biitifh
Government for the affair of the Chefapeak ; and
that the other points of difference would proceed in
a train of amicable adjullment. Further, that Mr.
Jeffet fon now lays, that war with Great ritain need
not be apprehended."
Extrad of a letter from a gentleman of the fiat
refpeetability, to the Editor of the Baltimore Evening
Poji, dated Wallington, N'v. 23, 1807.
" The accounts received, Rating that Bonaparte had determi-
ned to laid tha rigour of his recent decree againft America, do
not meet with full credit. They are doubted, beeaufe a letter
has been received from General Annfirong, in which he informs
our Government, that almoft immediately on the return of the
Emperor to Paris, he addreffed a note to the Prime Minifter, corn.
plaining that Spain had executed this decree againft American
Blips': in anfwer he was told, that a letter mould immediately be
fent to the French Minifter at Madrid, dlretting him to explain
the deuce to the Spanint Government, and so dare it to delift
from executing the decree againit American vefftls.".-Paify Adv.

RATIONS OF THE MONTHS OF SEPTEMBER AND I‘
OCTOBER.
DISPERSION of PETION's PARTY at PORT DE PAM • '
The indifpolition of the Prefident in the month of \
Auguß having prevented the final reduaion of an k
infurgent corps of one thuufand men under General
Lamarre, lent to Port de Pais by Petion, which had
been chiwen from that town in July, and the troops
of Chriflophe having, dating the month of Augult.
confined themfelves to keeping poffeffitm of Port de
Pais, Lamarre took advantage of that refpite tom ly
fome of the fngitives, who had entrenched themfelves
in the Rrong pofition called Demaho, c wering the
town of Jean Rabel. A feeble attempt was made to
diflodge them, but not being well concerted, it did
nut fucceed.

Immediately on the Pref,dent's recovery from his
illnefr, he fet out from the town of Cape Fra..cais,
with his Staff. On the night of the gth of September
he flept at La Borgne, add entered Port de Pair on
the 6th, where he reviewed the troops. On the fame
day, General Magny arrived from Gros Morne,
ter having difperfed a patty of rebels op the nlooti•
tain called le Calvaire. 0
The command of the centre of the army was giver;
to General Tonffainc Brave, and that of the twfl
wings to the Generals Martial, Balk, and Magny ;
the Whole conning of twelve battalions, two films.
drons of cavalry, and a company of artillery ; two
battalions and one fqttadron of cavalry were lest to
garrifon Port de Pai;, cutler the orders of General
Gerard.

On the morning of the Bth the army msrchei to
attack the :hong pofition of Demaho. Some in-
ttencliments which had been thrown up in front %kart
ftormed by Colonel jafon' of the 2d regiment ; and
the main pofition having been attacked on the p.k,
in the evening, it was taken ; the befieged, how-
ever, took advantage of a vioent floral of thunder
and rain to died their efcape, in the greaten difor-
der, leaving behind them too of their killed and
wounded. They were purfued on the toth and I Ith,.
when it was known that they had rall;ed, and were
occupying fume other Prong p,fitiona at a place
called Fouefon, in the mountain Du Maufliqott.'
The Pielident Chridophe, whild reconnoitring

I his Aid du Camp Celedin Cap, and the Cothiniffary
at War Deffalines, were wounded by his fide. The
pofition of the enemy was, however, vigoroufly at.
' tacked, and taken on the night of the 13th. The
camp of the rebels was burnt, and they were obliged
to take another polition at the Pone du Cabaret.
After a (mart fire of mufquetry in that diretiiou,
Chridophe put himfelf at the head of the troops, and
took the pod of the rebels by form, and in ais he
was powerfully affilled by the bravery of q.ntrat
i Magny and Colonel Jatin. General Lainarre, pur-
fued by the cavalry, threw himfelf from a precipice
too feet high, in order to avoid falling into 'the
j hands of Chridophe ; and fince that time he has nqt
I been heard of.

The remainder of the rebels took fucceffively two
pofitions, the one at the habitation Sauval, and thg
other at the habitation Foache, near Jean Rabe), t..-1
but they could not with Rand the impetuofity of the
act arks which were made, upcn them, and they left
behind the only piece of artillery they poffeffed, and
difperfed in the woods. Flom the 16th to the 20th,
they were purfued in the woods or mountains, Nu-
aced between Jean Rabel and Mole St. Nicholas ;
hut none of the prifoners could give any account of
General I.lmarre.
