We congratulate or readers on the ar-
picio0s appearances Of the New York e.
leetions. The reign of delufonis faa de-
Ginning. The noify turbulence of foreign
renegadoes may, for a while have drowned
the fniall voice of truth; bur we place a
firm reliance on the virtue and good ienfe
efour county men to trump over faction.
and intrigue.
Should've French Government fncceed
in retoring tranquility in St. Domingo, fhe
trade of the Americans will fufer a great
lofs, while the merchants Of Jamaica will
reap great advsnsag from It. Itwillun-
qoeaionably increafe The export trade both
OF Fsapce and Great Britain but as our
fettleinent is 70 contiguous, and our lhips
70 numerous, the fuppliss which are necefs
fairy for the coloriifs, rnaft neceaarily find
aquicker and better market from Jamaica
than from tie mother country. Indeed,
the mott alaterial articles of confnmption
mutt, during peace, be derived hon Gu

PROVIDENCE, October IL.

We have pubifhed the fofgei Letters hgn-
cd Nicholas Geffroy, fald TO have been written
by the Hon. 1shn Ru,ledge, e,evbotm ef Hlsrafim
from the Rhode Ilind Republican. Much has
been faid and much yet remains 10 g iaid on the
fubieet of theic letters. The attens.t to impoie
upon our Chief MagiRraie mutt meet with the
execration Of every Liberal minded man. In
dignrit Eeemen of Ameries NUT ever iro"n up
on the vile imooaor. What the real object ot
thofe who were guilty OF the impotore, vas, ~
only known to themfslves; probably to bring
our Executive into contempt. The providen-
t,al diicovery of the plot, has fruRrated their
plans and brought fhaIpe and insamy upon their
own heads. The depoiiiions OF many have been
pubifhed in the laf Rhode iQand Republican,,
relarive to the letters. IL appears that MIR.
GefTsoy, hrit received letter from the Prehdcnt
In auf~er to the forged letters; thar he was much
furp;ized at receiving letter from the preiident,
and declared he never wrote to the Pfeiideni.
He delivered the PreGdent's letter 20 the Hon.
Chrifo2her ElIefy. and information was imrne-
distely given the Pre6dent relative 10 the impoi-
tuse. The Prefident fent the forged letters to
a ci,,zeo OF Newport. giving him permif'ion to
make what ufe Of them be plsafed. Dilgcnt
enquiry was Immediately made relative TO the
isre and after comparing the forged letters
with variety Of hand writings, they were found
10 tally exatiIy with the hand-~ ri,ing OF the
Hon. John Rutledge. tho diiguiied. About
for,y Of the fra citizens in the State have, after
dilipent comparifon of hand-wTitings, decar-
ed ,beir opinion in favor Of the lar mentioned
Placement. The Poe- -Maaer and his sGiaant in
Ne~port have declared on oath, that about the
M and 9Th days Of Augua, A. d. 1901, Mr..
Rutlede.'s icrvant Girl delivered letters at tha,
efdce, directed to the Pre6dent Of the United
States, and that the fuperfciPtion was in Mr..
Ru,ledsr's hand writing, though diiguiied.
In our next We fhall give the ~hofe chain
