Captain. Nelson, arrived Yesterday from

Letters, by this arrival were received at

cecied by Spain TO France, in consequence
OF bonapartc's agreeing to reipstate the
King Of Naples on his Throne Knowing,
as we do, that doaccur of two millions
has been dispatched to France, to pave the
way in a negotiation FOR the Floridas, we

llkey 20 pc correct-but that Bonaporte
should consent TO take down his bro.bcr
Joseph from the throne Of Naples. so short
~ alter having elevated him to that ligai-
ty, tor the purpose of reinstatine its lawful
Sovereign, is very doubtful
t is certainly not the duty of news
paper editor, to give currency to every
rumor which may reach his esrs: on thc
other hand, it must be admitted, that il is
MS duty to notice all such as either are
supported by tic authority of respectable
names, ormay implicate the welfare of his
fellow citizens, and the peace Of his conn
try. In so doing, it is not conceived that
nus veracity is pledged in support OF the
story, nay he may himself totally disbe!icye
it, yet be justified in giving it currency.--
lience the ESpositor details the following
ifuraor, which has very wide circulation
IN TINS town. viz.-That the president has
issued process on = charge of high trea-
son to arrest certain individual, who once
stood high in the opinions of his country
men, and whose late conduct in the western
country, has been marked by public sus,,i
ciol--othcr reports are still more alarm
ms. To say we credit them would be TO
violate truth, but still we think something
unpleasant has occurred.-dLz. Erb.
Our readers must have observed, thatthe
next presidential election, has already be-
come a subject Of much discussion, among
the republicans in different parts Of Che uni
on. IN New-Fork and PENNSYLVANIA nu-
ner0lis meetings have been held, which
have unanimously determined to solicit Mr.
Jefferson again to suiIcrhimself tn be plac-
ca in nomination for that important Office.
we are sorry that this Question has thus
early been brought before the public. we
have ever considered it as the dutv of re-
pubhcans to harmonic with each other, to
support their individual opinions until that
OF the majority be known, afterwards
cnceriuly to acquicscc therewith-wehavc
therefore ever lamcntcd the feuds which
have divided them in some States, and CEN
sired the conduct OF those, vino have en-
piloyed 50 much talent and industry, 50 much
vigor Of thought and energy Of conduct.

scots of the party This very division
conpeils each to shade Itself under the lau-

and leads to a unity Of action which we
must deem hostile TO Republican PriDci-
