RALEIGH, IN c. NOV. II.
As fpecimen Of modern repub-
licanifm, / beg leave to fate to you
the conduct of the Officers Of the
United States troops ftationed at this
place. 1t had been warmly conteltcd
at the Congregational election, wheth-
er folders regularly entitled, had the
right of voting When the Eleao-
rial election approached, the fubjed
had become more inteteting, for the
numbers had greatly increaled. The
officers eagerly Untitled that poftf-
fling the requiGte reGdence and bcy1r7
t1eecidm If cbsice, the folders has the
right Of outrage, and fhouId be per-
miIted to exercile thar right. Jun
tefore the election took place how
ever, it was unfortunately discover
ed that :heir humble followers were
not as plant as had been expected.
FOR that a majority Of them were re
folvcd, if allowed 70 vote, TO give
their fuffrages to the Federal Candi-
date. Immediately they were all
paraded and marched out Of town.
Had the 5uflnvis topped here, there
might have beenfone apology Offer
ed for it. But this was nor all. a
diviGon was rnsAg If :tIc foldiets.

February I8.-Since the above
was written, | have been under de-
gree of indifpoGtion, which has fus-
pended the propofeds continuation Of.
it, and which will now cblige me toI
be very brief the more 70, as the
vefel has been fome days detained,
which was engaged fer the lpecias
purPofe of conveying public Dispatch
eS and private letters 10 Eur1te.
The delay has enabled me to
inform you, that Mr.. ErJkine, a few
days ago, communicated, by Untrue
tons from his government, its late
DEGREES of Novembsr ii, and thofe
forming fequelto them. The CON-
munication was accompanied with
affurances, thar much regret was felt
by his Baitannic Majefty, at the ne
cellity which the conduct Of his enc
my had created, for mealures 70 en-
bar-aihng to neutral commerce and
that his Majety would readily follow
an example of relinqu;lhing fuch
courfe, or even of making reiaxations
pari paflu with his enemy.
" In remonfratins againit the IN
juftice and illegality Of the French
decree, am aware that you may be
remmdedsf dntecedent pyrie, to France
and Der allies, tbJengb Byiti6 vIcLation5
sf neutral commerce. The 1aSl cannot
Be denied, and may be urged with
great force in our remonftrances a.
gainlt the orders 10 which Great
Britain has given retaliating char
ader; fince the French decree
might, on the fame ground, be pro-
nounced a retaliation on the preced-
ing conduct Of Great Britain. But
ought the legitimate commerce of
aeutrals to be thus the victim and
the fport Of belligerents, contelting
with each other the priority Of their
deltruefive innovations and without
leaving, either of them, to neutrals
even the opportunity orthe time for
difaPprosing that culpable acquief-
cence, which is made the prelext ty
both, for the wrongs done to them ?
And | mutt repeat, that, apart from
all gueaions Of this nature,the French
decree, or at leatt The illegal ex;en-
iions of 1t to the United States, re-
main chargeable with all the impo-
Icy which has been pointed out.
/" | find, by accounts from Ham
bGrgb, Bremen, H5Land and Legborn,
that the trade and property of our
citizens have been much vexed by
regulations fubaItern to thofe Of the
original decree of November Al,
ISo6.-How far the complaints are
founded on proceedings violating OUT
public rights, Or on juob as are IN
friendly and ine9uita5le taqUards ar
citizens, who have placed their pro-
perty within thofe jurifdi6tions, you
win be able to decide better than
We can do at this diItance and the
Prefdent refers to your own judg- !
nent, the KIDD Of representation to
the French government, which thcfe
and other analogous caufes may re-
9uire."
