Extract # ON the circular letter Of Mr.. P9i7-
deeter, to his constituents in the Alssis-
sibpi Territory
1t is well known fact, that the suffra-
ges of the people are never consulted in the
selection Of officers d. designated to rule in
tbs respective territories. Intrigue, fraud,
per6dy and chicanery, are engines not un-
frequently welded to obtain for the fawn-
ing sycophant that preferment which is de.
MED to the independent Possessor of virtue,
integrity and talents. make these re
marks in reference to no individual whate-
yer, but to shew the general practice which
prevails under system of government,
where power is not derived from its only
legitima.e source, the people, and where
the principls of responsibility in public
functionaries is swallowed up in the vortex
ofexecutive prerogative"
A French general and his black servant
came out of Boulogne in an open boat early
on Monday morning, and were picked up
by one of our men of war and carried into
the Downs to the ad miral, who sent them
to Dover to our agent for prisoners. The
general is at prcsene at the ship Inn, at Do.
yer. lis said that his name is Serurier.-
Nothing is vet known of the cause of his
quitting France.
The dismissal Of Fouche (now called
Duke of Otrlanto) thu French minister of
police, has excited considerable sdrprize.
That he is in disgrace is rendered evident
by the Paris papers, Napoleon having sene
him very cayalierlv 10 Rome, with the title
of governor, and having appointed the
duke of Rovigo (Sevarv) his successor, as
minister OF police; but the cause Of the
quarrel does not appear. Fouche, in his
answer TO Napoleon's letter, accepts his
lew appointment, but seems to be very lit
lie pleased with it,-Lon. pap.
Model q a 7vise RepubHc.--B Bees, as from
time immemoriai, associate together tor
mutual benefit, and live in republics They
ar genuine practical republicans, who G.
vince their public and private virtues, NOT
by noise and self applause but by their
useful works. AS people they are re-
markable for their steady habits and plain
sober manners; and for. the republican viz.
tues Of industry, frugality and excellent e.
economy. Ii is with them standing law to
punish idleness and dissipation, in indivi-
duals, with banshms Mt from their common
wealth. They also bring up their offspring
to habits of industry; and send them off to
live by their own earnings and to form new
colonies, whenever they are straitenrd for
room, or their occupations are not needed
at home. Such is their genuine patriotism
