sooseA by or government a letter
from Cape Francois fays, Unleis fonne
carrier is refpeaed and protect
cd, lhould the non-intercourIe act
continue, / forelce milery End misfor-
tunes, which from motives of humanity,
/ could with to be averted from the
people of any nation HedoayilIe,
Direetorial agent in ST. Domingo, with
true French cunning, has ilIued his
-Ary1tcs, inviting Americans to I" fupply
the means Of plundering themfelves and
friends;' and with promiles as fair as
ever were held out by fharper TO en-
trap an honelt adgenturer. This Heu-
douville, alto gives an outline of the
French character, and conduit, of late;
which, hadi been given by an Ameri-
can, would have been denounced as
falfe and fcandalous by our lapienf Ia
cobin-French apologifs.-IIe fays, the
piracies on American commerce have
been committed by Ga fet Of vagabondr,
who have ufurped the title Of French
corfairs, and who have delivered them
ielves up to exre9Ss, which call down
upon their heads the feverity of the laws
of all nations; who have exerciled the
mott crying vexations, upon neutral
vefels, even while entering the ports of
the republic, and Of nations allied to
it, and at their departure from the fame
ports who not content with pillaging
them, abufe their crews who have
carried their inhumanity 70 far, and 70
far forgotten the principles adopted by
the French nation, as TO fell the mife-
rable victims fallen under their power,
and even to afaiIinate thofe to whom
they owed testimonies of refpea. -
This is the language of Heodouville !;
and he has in confequence called in all
the picar00n lbaOing mills and given
new directions to the regular privateers.
All this is mere Sfarvati0n
threatens the iflands-Force and fraud
have not been able TO avert it.-DupIi-
city and cunning are now reforted to-
But they come too late.-AlI inter-
courle with the ifands is broken of by
law and it ought to be made death to
fupply them, through the medium Of
the neutral iilands until Juiice and
Honor fupply the places now filled by
Robbery and perhdy.
1t is i.id, that Hedouville and Tou-
fant have intimated, that fhould holili-
ties againf France be refolved by the
United States, the Cape fhould be de-
elared neutral and independent port.

In many of the monfrcus, political
doctrines of the prefent age, ridicu-
louAy called an enlightened one, a
great affe6ation of novelty prevails J;
and when the French coined the phrafe
liberty and equality, they palmed it
upon the world as fomething itrange
and rare. But this pernicious doctrine
has always had knaves to preach and
fools TO believe it; and its as faIe, as
it is weak and wicked. In the works
Of an accurate Englifh Hiltorian, re-
counting events in the reign Of Richard
Ii. you will fad, that g one John Ball,
"a /Sditious preacher, who affected low
popularity, went about the country,
and inculcated on his audience the
principles Of the frif origin of mankind
from one common flock, their equal
right to liberty and to all the goods of
nature, the tyranny of artificial diGinc-
tons, and the abuies, which had arifen
from the degradation of the more con-
fiderable part of the lpecies, and the
aggrandizement of a fewinlolent rulers.
Theie doctrines, 70 agreeable to The pobu-
lace, and III estnformable to the ideas of
primitive equality, which are engraven
on the hearts of all men, were greedily
received by the multitude and fcattered
the fparks Of fedition."
