"Should report reach YOU of commotion
ut n. Orleans, put no confidence in it. Let
-o's of the 18th ult. are in this place, which
state every thing there not alone tranquil,
but tie people every day becoming more con-
vncedot the dangers to which they had Teen
exposed by the ,conspirators, and their fortu-
nate escape. The legislature was for time,
very much infected by persons hostile to the
y. ;. a happy change has also taken place in
this respect, as many sound men have been
recentlv introduced, though there remain,
1t is TO be feared, yet few capable of going
to every extreme of civil discord.
1.-The expulsion of Edward Livingston s.
his associate spectators, from the Batture,
on behalf Of the United States, has produced
the llvc'icst emotions of JOY and satisfaction
at Orleans, and throughout the whole coun-
try tor swarm OF these locusts from the U.
States had taken such daring strides, and
held themselves up as objects of menace to
the 81, ern'ncn', and superior to the laws,
that tor time, the government was consi-
dered TOO imbccilc, either to assert its own
authorItv, or TO protect its own laws.
nc affair of the Batture. has however
restored confidence to the honest and faithful
citizen and has spread dismay and confusion
am ing :, he choice shirts" Livingston,
ttGTk, W tkins & CO. have found that their
Sito"ts to excite COmmotion and their rides
Trough all the districts to asperse tie gov
ernment, and stir up sedition, have at length
turned out to their confusion, and to the no.
nor OF the genera government. The legis-
lature have. in consequence of this saua,v
decision, OF the executive, transmitted their
fhG"ES tothe fnesiden by an e,eircsS. The
cruel and unsupported attacks of Messrs.
itandoiph and Clark, against general Will
klnson, had been received at n. Orleans and
appear to have excited the Indignation of e.
YER friend to that territory, and the Unit
ed States; which have also caused some in
indignation; for Edward Livingston has
been SO ineiscreet, as to attribute his ex-
pulsion from the Batture, to gen Wilkinson :;
a circumstance calculated rather to in crease
than to diminish the thanks they owe him
tor his Illustration of treason, at every risk
befor, and forIis Illustration of public rob-
berry, iii this instance. .....durorc.
The dispatches from Mr.. Pinckney. our

SALEM, March ..

Tie latest accounts from Europe confirm
the beicf, thai the French DEGREES will be
executed in all their rigor And the views
of all the continental powers arc apparently
Coincident with those OF France. The en-
peror has not visited Italy without some great
purpose, OF some memorable event to report
MS visit to postcritv. AS soon as he arrive d
before LGghorn, the Gst,cs IF lie city were
open to him, and revolution in the affairs
OF Tuscany was Immediately anticipated.
Thcpl5,ic orders were given in MS name :;
and We haze socn received the information,
THAT new arrangements lm,d been made in thu >
country. 1t IS reported that TUSCANY is Join
ed To the kingdom OF Italy. New h0nors
have been distributed, and the CITY OF Leg
horn expected no new evils from rcyo.uti-
Oh which more nearly Incorporated them With
France. The contributions and the CONNER
cia regulation were severe, and no eXemp-
tjohs were allowed to- render difficult the So
we're en- cccrees OF the Emperor. The re-
ports IRON Prussia are more favorable 10 the
government Of tlat country. 1t is affirmed
TINT the French troops mad withdrawn from
many places. and were sSli in motion :; and
that the King had approached more nearly 10
his former capital, by removing from Mcneil
TO IiblHg. But the French have not only obi
ged the most sacred Vigilance against British
trade, but they have exc utIctl the s3wcdes so
long as they remain under any British ALI
anees, from any trade IL ports under their
command The Danes concur il. these mea-
i.:res by OBTAINING under an arrest the Swe-
tlsh minister, and by demanding satisfaction
tor all Interruptions OF the post from Nor
War. Ia consequence of these embaIrass-
Dcnts. it is said the king of Sweden is to
summon diet, and as no expectation is for
med Of consent of the diet in a war with
England against all their ncighbors, report
says, TIC King will abdicate the throne. 'Fh.
limitation Of his sovereignty will probably o.
bhge an acqulsscencc in the measures which
tiS nciShbors viii dictate, and the diet pre-
fer to the present situation Of their country.
The Russians concur fully in the purposes
Of the French towards Sweden, according to
the declarations in thc French papers. So
permanently fixed is the Influence of the
French upenthe southern borders OF the raj
tic, that the Hanse Towns have requested to
be governcdby the Napoleon code, which is
the strongest manner in which they could
bind themselves to the Frcnci. interest.
