York.
The brig Almira, just arrived a, New-Yo rk,
brings information from ST. Domingo, that a
meeting had been called, by President Boyer,
Of all his generals, and that troops have been
dispatched TO quell an insurrection at Cape
Francois. There is strong reason to suspect that
,umults will arise in other parts of the Island.
Bower was preparing an emission of copper
and paper money to the amount OF six millions.
Business was quite dull; but the crops through
OUT the island were promising.
Mr. Maxwell, the District Attorney for the
City Of New-York, announced, on Monday last,
in the Court of Oyer s Terminer, that he should
ootfurlher prosecute the Indictment lately found
against Mr.. Samuel L. Gouverneur, for conspi-
racy to defraud the Tradesman's Bank-alledg-
ing as a reason, that after further Investigation
Of the facts ard evidence in the case, he was en-
tirely satis6ad thar no fraud, o. intention to
commit fraud, could justly be imputed to this
gentleman We reiterate the fact with no or
binary satisfaction, since that gentlema an is the
SON in-law Of the distinguished patriot and ex-
President James Monroe. MIR. Gouverneur has
been swindled, it is said, out Of the great part
Of his fortune, and il would have been hard in
deed had his reputation been put in jeopardy,
as consequence of his pecuniary misfortunes.
Letters were received in Washington, yes
terday, announcing the election Of Mr.. Barnard,
BY the Legislature of Pennsylvania, TO represent
that State in the Senate of the United States
for six years from the fourth day of March next
On the first ballot Mr.. Barnard received fty 1--we
votes, Mr.. Ingham thirty-three, and several 9TH
er candidates from one TO ten each. On the Sc
cond ballot Mr.. Ingbam was dropped by his
friends, and Mr.. Barnard received one hundred
and eight votes, which elected him. MIR. B.
is represented to be gentleman of intelligence
and capacity, who, although he is not opposed
to The elevation Of Gen. Jackson, will pursue
an independent Course in relation to the mea-
sures of the administration. We rejoice in his
election, as well because Of his high respecta-
bi,y, as that Pennsylvania has put the seal of
her disappro5ation upon the clustering and dis
engenuous course Of SAMUEL d. INGHAM.
The Utica Sentinel, Clinton paper, ridi-
cules the idea of the General Administration,
having interfered in the recent elections in New
York; and correspondent in the same paper
makes the following just and pointed remarks,
in alusion to Mr., Clinton's supposed opposition
10 Mr. Adams.
Notwithstanding the merits and deserved
popularity of Mr.. Clinton through the slate,
it may confidently be averred, that had
his hostility to the national government been
believed, or the design Of any Of his friends
TO crowd him into the Presidential election
in opposition to Mr.. Adams been avoyed,
he would have fallen short OF his election
by many more thousands than he has now
obtained it. Few men have more occa-
sion to calculate than has Gov Clinton from
the period Of the memorable presidential cleo
ton of 1912, when tUtb Wr. YAM Burens Iff hand
ed aid, he was run for the presidency against
Mr.. Madison.-"Save me from my friends.
