Mr.BACHE, A writer in your paper of Thursday, who communicates to' the public, two re solutions relative to Mr. Jay's appoint ment as "Envoy to England, observes, that he had been informed that a majority of the Senate appeared to be of opinion, that it was not compatible with the character of Judge, to accept the office of an Envoy, *but that/ the friends of Mr. Jay secured his appointment,- " by Urging, that his de licacy and sense of .propriety, would cer tainly induce him to resign his office of Chief justice, when he (hould accept the ' " A Correspondent who pofTelles accurate inforrflation of what pas sed in the Senate on this occasion, denies the allegation that the friends of Mr. Jay, declared it to be their opinion that he would, or ought to, resign his office .of ; Chief Justice. A Senator from an Eastern State, is said to have observed, that Mr. Jay's being Chef Jufti6e. constituted no objection to his appointment to another office ; fop in cafe of incompatibility, the former would be resigned, adding that probably he would resign the office of Judge if appoint ed Envoy. This unpremeditated conjecture, was exprefiitd by no other Senator, nor is it believed that it had any influence in Mr. Jay's appointment. It is a just principle that offices, the duties of which interfere with each other, ftiould not be conferred upon one man ; but the difficult fituatisn of public affairs, the peculiar nature of thebufmefs, and the acknowledged fitnefs of a particular cha racter, will juftify an occasional, and tem porary departure from this general rule. A Judge of the Supreme Court is an as sociate officer ; an Envoy Extraordinary, is a character employed for a (hort time, and upon an urgent occasion : The judi ciary department will proceed* (hould one of their corps be engaged a few months as an Envoy Extraordinary and the precedent will not prove injurious. Those know little of Mr.- Jay's private character, who insinuate that avarice ii a passion, that harbours in his bosom ; his friends will have no cccafion to regret his want of delicacy, in respect to what some may have deemed an object, the pecuniary emoluments of this appointment. Mr. Jay is neither " alieni appetens, nec fui profufus, " plain republican manners, and oeconemy, distinguish his public, as well as private life. From the AtHtricaa Minerva. The TIMES, No. VI. New-England people turned ariftocratal fay the southern gentlemen. This is v<ly Let lis exarfjine the fa£l,and cpm pare New-England ariltocracy with ther.ii democracy An eaftera aristocrat is a New-England farmed Nine oCit of ten of all these people are men of fftiall landed consisting of from 50 to, 200 acres of land, and worth from 1000 to 3000 dollars. There is not one in twenty of theiri that ever owned a (lave ; and those who hstve them are getting rid of them as fail as they can, without in jury to the slaves. The farmer himfelf, his wife, his sons and daughters all labor in pcrfom, oh the farm or at the spinning wheel. A farmer in New-England who does got labor in person, is no more to be found than.a planter in Virginia or Caro lina who does. If they have occasion to hire men, they aflociate with them, arid eat..at the fame table. In a whole village there is little or no distinc tion of rank—the and mechanics, the justice of peace and thd blacksmith all aflociate on equal terms. There is nb such. thing a3 a farmer's commanding his workmen—he treats them all as his equals. These people are generally very civil and obliging—they make bovfrs to each'other, and teach their children to do the feme. This is New-England aristocracy. r Virginia democracy is a very different thing —A democrat in the southern states is. a planter, or other perfion, who owns a large number of slaves; who is above.la bor himfelf, and _not only so, but is above the diudgery of oyerfeeing his own busi ness. He commits it to a steward and a negro driver. He eitabliflies all the ranks of the feudal system in his own family. The planter is king, or tord paramount —his children are nobles—-the tutor, the {teward and clerk are the commons' —and the laboring people and blacks are the vaflals. Yet this planter is a mighty de mocrat —a warm (tickler-for the rights of men—for liberty—and what is more, e ' quality. This little domestic monarch writes and spouts inceflantly about the funding system and the danger of power.— He will not labor—not he—-.that is the business of slaves.—He will not aflociate with laboring people—he will not eat at the fame table. His sons must not labor, this would difgracc them—"they are seen at a tavern from morning to night, saw ing on a fiddle, and playing at billiards. A New-England artflocrat, on Sunday puts saddle and pillion on his team-horse, takes his wife behind him, and his child on a pillow before him, and rides to church, and when he gets home, he reads a sermon, or a chapter in the Bible, and teaches h(s children some catechism. The fouthem democrat on Sunday gets into his coach, if he has it, or can borrow one, and accompanied with two or three dirty, ragged* half naked slaves, rides to / some friends, or to some amnfement. It is idle to deny these things—thousands of eye witnefles can attest them. Let the truth then be acknowledged. Let the charge of ari/lo oracy fall where it ought. The northern people are the mod democratical in the uni verfe —equality reigns among them in reali ty —but they refpeft law and order, and when they have a government, they wish to keep it. Foreign Intelligence. COPENHAGEN, March I. About four o'clock last Wednesday evening, an alarm of fire was given from the palace. It firll appeared in tfye upper {lory of the south corner of the fiont fide, which'is to the westward ; and, although every endeavor was used to extinguish the flames, they soon began to spread to the northward. About half past fix the Royal family were told that little or no hopes of favtng the palace were left: they retired to another quarter of the town. The flames were affilted by a frefh gale of wind from the fouth-ealt, and about half past eight the spire was burnt down* At ten o'clock, the whole boc!y of this immense building was in a blaze, which at once exhibited a very grand but awful scene In Ihort, the whole palace of Chriltianburgh was reduced to the b; r; walls, in the course of fix hours. Both th; wings were also 011 fire, and the north one reduced ; but, by the great exertions of the burghers, the south wing, although burnt down, was prevented from commu nicating to the Chancery and Museum Had the fire caught either the one or tl e pther, jt would have beeH impoflible to have saved the bank or magazines. The houses on the Strand were also much endangered, as the wind blew di rectly upon them ; and large pieces of burning wood were flying about in the streets. The conflagration mult have been seen all over the island, I suppose, such a fccne was never beheld in the world ; —fo great a pile of building dellroyed in so (hort a space of time. It rs said, that ma ny of the people.have been burnt, but as yet there are no particular accofunts of the number. Very little of the furniture or effects were saved. The King's private library was destroyed, as were moll of the papers and books in the high court. The damages will amount to many millions. * ' V The royal family are universally pitied, and much praise is due to the prince royal, who was all the night walking about, with out any attendants, to prevent disorders —This (hewed his confidence in the peo ple. FRA.NKFORT, Feb. *8. The names of the French commiflaries, which arrived here on the 15th inft. are O chet,Paris and Fitterman ; they were escort ed by a body of Prussian hufiars, and rode in a ccfach, on each corner of which was a red cap, and before the tri-colour flag. Just before they got to the White Swan Inn, at which they alighted, a foreigner tore down the latter, but he was immediately seiz ed, and ca-iried to the Guard House. The populace appeared in tumultous' numbers, but the guards prevented their insulting the Comm flaries, and a Prufiian Sentinel does duty at the door of the White Swan Inn, whilst they remain here. \ • v ; r^' BERLIN, March 1. No extraordinary preparations are yet making in any of our arsenals of a warlike appearance, and every thing remains at pre sent in a state of suspense. NATIONAL CONVENTION. Fepruary 15. Barrere communicated the following arti- cles relative to the armies ROYALISTS DEFEATED. General Duquefnoy thus writes from Pont de Noyers, the 2 2d, of Pluviofe (ioth February.) * " At last 1 have met the famous army of Charette, a quarter of a league from Pont de Noyers 011 the great road to Nantes. My light troops on the left, engaged in a briik fire with their advanced guard. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I repaired to the field of battle ; as fact as my 'batta liogs arrived, 1 drew them up, and the fire was very hot on both fides. In the onset these vagabonds not only refilled, but advanced upon us—when seven of my battalions were ranged, the charge was beat. The enemy, on their fide, produ ced three new battalions that had been concealed in a wood. The combat lasted an hour, and was very hot. Our' troops at length - repulsed the Rebels, in every part, the gveateft part of whom threw a way their arms and fled into the wood ; about eight hundred bit the dust. I have, in the -whole, almolt one hundred .men killed and wounded. My Aid-de camp L'Anglojs had his horse killed un der him. We know not whither the Re bels are fled." Gen. Tureau writes from Saumur, the 2Jth, and confirms this news. He adds, " we arefeid to have been beaten at Cho let, whereas we have gained-there a com plete victory. 1 was at Angers the 33d, and they said here yelterday, that Pont de Ce was taken 011 the 23d, &c. Gen. Cordelier, who has beaten the enemy at Cholet, has orders to pursue them with out intermission. " He tells rae, that Laroche Jaquelin is killed, and buried at Trementrin. Thirtyreports have been made of that event, and they all agree. It is however, certain, that he was not present at the battle of Cholet, and that it was his ar my which attacked that town, command ed by Stofflett. 1 have ordered General Cordelier to cause the body of Laroche Jaquelin to be disinterred, and to try to gain a certain proof of his death. A SKIRMISH. General Pichegru writes from head quarters at; Reunion fur Oife, that he has visited many of the cantonments, and finds the foldieiy in the highest lpirits. He fends a letter of Brigadier-Geueral Moreau, dated from CafTel, which an nounces, that on the 13th (Feb. 1) 700 men who set out from Ypres, attacked the poll of Botfjhequefie, defended by no more than 350 of our Chafleiirs. The enemy entered the village ; our troops retreated into the Church, from the tower of r.hich they kept up such a fire on the Slaves, that they were obliged to retiie, leaving thirteen killed in the burial place, befidc* eight found afterwards near the road to Veftrade, —we took also nine prifojiers and twenty one fufils. ATTEMPT of the ENGLISH on'' CORSICA. v LacombeSt. Michel, Representative of the people, at Batia, in Corsica, writes, uuder date of the 2d Pluviofe, that an English squadron menacfd these coalts. On the preceeding evening three large vcf fels approached Nouza, in the Gulph of St. Florefit, and attempted to land tome troops to burn the mills ; but.some (loops with grenadiers, and an armed felucca put off, and the English retired. The frigate Melpomene, being becalm ed, was attacked by two English frigates, two leagues from Calvi. The English, as- - ter three hours fight, left the French (hip. It appears that the principal delign cf the English at this moment, is to take from us those towns in Corsica that re main faithful to the Convention, but chance has not favored their efforts.— Grain comes in to us from many parts. February 28. Two recent advantages have been gain;- ed over the enemies of the Republic.— -The fii-ft took place on the 14th of Feb. near Beken, Brigadier General,Dnmon ceau, and Col. Wattiil commanding at Poßt a Bruck, at the? head of a detach ment of the 10th regiment of Calvados, and another of the. chafTeurs of the 13th forming-in all a coips of 100 men, met, in patroling, a body of the enemy, in number Ht least fix times greater, cornpo fed of English cavalry and Austrian in fantry. They made the attack, with Re publican courage, and the event was'not doubtful, they made at ler.ft fifty of the enemy bite the dnft, took number of and 28 horses. We loft only a lingfc.man, a quarter-matter, who is regretted'by the whole corps. 11 \ ' LONDON, Feb. 27. ARMY OF THE WEST. This army is receiving daily reinforce ments. A large detachment has been sent off to qurll the dilhubances which have been occasioned by a body of royal ifls. A French frigate has sent into Brest, a Spanifti veftcl laden with 78,800 pias tres. Within the (pace of one mouth, x Bo British (hips have been sent into this harbor. The fauadron commanded hy Keranguen, and which was sent to con voy the expedition to America to a cer tain latitude, returned the 10th instant, without having met witli any interrupt . tion from the fleet of the enemy. The squadron brought 16 prizes laden with corn, and destined for Spain.

Cairiere, in a late fitting of the Jaco bins, acknowledged that there might Itill be 20,000 rebels in La Vendee, though scattered over 40 Jquare leagues of ground. This fhtt, he said, gave him no uneasi ness, because he knew that the Conventi on had 40,000 men in'the country, who would fojn put the orders of the commit tee of Public Safety in execution, as his Colleague, Garau and Hentz, were full of Zealand activity.
