land pamphlet entitled, "the conduct
Of the French government towards the
republic Of Geneva" addrened TO Mr..
Gallatin membe. Of the houfe Of repre-
1entatives of the U. s. by ID Chanyet.
The pamphlet contains a brief hiRory
OF the conduct of France towards Cen
eva from the firfs invafion of that little
republic BY gen. Montefquieu, about the
year 1892, to its fnal iubiugation and
annexation to France in the prefent
year. 1t IS too lengthy for a newfpa-
per, and befides, the general facts it
contains, are freih in the memories Of
mott intelligent Americans.
But the Introductory addrels to Mr..
Gallatin, IS Of too much importance
not 10 merit inlertion. It unfolds to
that fcady friend Of France, the errors
which EaainduIges ii regard 10 the
views OF France, aud afures him that

In our lait paper we mentioned the

which they gave chaie; at 10 o'clock
they got along fde and fred fhot over
her, on which ihe hoifed Englifn colors
and fired fhot to leeward. The sd
lieutenant was fent on board Of her and
found they had laid train Of gunpow-
der to the magazine to blowup the flip;
the officers were dreGed in the French
naval uniform, and faid they were
French royaIilts, and were bound from
Jamaica to Philadelphia they had a
commif1ion from the Englifh govern
rent, and a regiifer and clearance
from Jamaica, all Of which appear to
be counterfeits they have no articles,
fhipping paper, or log bookon board
the crew are made up of feven French
officers, Frenchmen, Spaniards, three
Englihmen, Portuguefe, Italians, one
American, Dutch, and feyeral negroes,
in al about IS men. A Britilh officer,
lis lady and two children, and an Anne
rican gentleman (of BALTIMORE are paf-
fengers. She is called the Nigre, is
built of cedar by the Spaniards, was
taken by the Britiih 2 or 3 years ago,
and fold at jamaica fhe mounts "a
guns, nine and twelve Founders, is
coppered, well found, and is a remark
ably fine vefel. 1t appears fhe has a
large FUN ofmoney on board, as well
as 90 hogfheads oflugar and IS pun
cheons of rum /; the crew have a great
deal Of money, and every one Of them
an American made trunk full Of goods,
clothes, &c. which it IS fuppoled they
have plundered.
One Of the feamen on board the
Contribution has fworn, that 7 months
ago he belonged to a fchooner from
Portimouth ON. H. which was taken
by a French privateer, on board of
which the boatiwain of The Nigre was
an officer, who lfripped him and the
crew naked, and fent them into Qua
daloupe. They have behaved in a
cruel manner to the paAengers, whom
they turned out Of the cabin and, we
underaand, had attempted TO potion
them by giving themdrugs intheir wine.
There was every realon to believe
the fhip was cruizing, as fhe was not
conGgned to any perion in Philadel-
phia, and it is fuppofed has different
TETS Of papers. They had Englilh and
national colors both bent, when board
ed by the fcer8 of the Contribution
they failed from Port Royal to Port
Antonio with few hands, and took
the remainder on board at that place.
1t alto appears they could not fay at
