Brains and genius are not always on VIC
most fris ndiy terms with each other. ----
Were it SO the Lieut.. Governor OF Massa-
chusetts might do much mischief. ne
election of members of Congress tor that
state took place on Monday the 5ih instant.
I'm Salem the residence Of Mr.. Gray, on the
Sunday previous to the election, a French
letter directed to his Honor, stating that
Bonanarte was about to restore all our sto.
len property, was posted at the corner OF the
streets and distributed at the doors OF hea-
ven's temples, for the purpose OF lntiu-
encing the election. On examining the
votes the next day there was found 10 De a
federal increase Of 215 since April last.
Mr.. Warden, American Consul and a.
gent of p rize Causes, has given the public
a list OF the vessels captured by sister
France. AS most of these vesselsl belong
ed to federalists, the administration cannot
be supposed to be over soliclsous Tor their
restoration. As some Of them however be-
long to the democrats, our government may
possibly pretend TO use some exertlon to
have them Unidentified. a rumor was
circulated tha. his majesty intended to re-
store them. Such rumor might operate as
tran 10 catch more. Late letters from
France however assure us that no such dts
nosition exists in the Imperial and Royal
Bosom and if it did it is not now IN his
power to exercise it.
By captain Ferguson, in &c hours tToF"
Baltimore, we received New York spers
Of Monday, and Baltimore papers OF Wed
uesday, from which extracts are made tor
this days paper. In the packet came lieut..
Gregory, who goes out in the Essex frgate,
with dispatches ior France and England
This Ggate sails Immediately, and will, it
is I'D, touch first in England. 1t is under
stood, that the Essex has been sp eclally dis
matched with the Proclamation Of the Pre-
sident, to be officially communicated to the
two bclliqerents. We shall not, at this
time, offer any conjectpres upon the proba-
bic instructions sent to Mr.. Pinkney, and
what will be the probable result, but we
shall not be surprised if that gentleman re-
turns in the Essex. The revocation OF the
orders in council are but secondary consl-
derations with the ruling party. 9. Britain
mus, not only revoke those orders, but she
must also renouncc her rule OF SO, and
conform to the modern system Of blockade,
that IS, the Napoleon code-and she
must further desist from taking her subjects
out of our merchant ships. That she Will
not comply with the terms, we think we
may venture to predict.--NoJoA LeGger,

The mass of matter before the public at
this time, produces confusion, that makes
it very difficult TO understand what is the
true state of things, as relate to tie revoca-
ton of the French DEGREES. A few facts,
however, are developed. Long since the
date aud communication of the Duke de
Cadorc's letter to Mr.. Armstrong, Anne
rican property has been sold and sequester-
ed in France. If this be not violation OF
our neutral rights, we do not understand
what is. But this practice will cease, as
we'll as the further capture Of our vessels,
