Philadelphia, WEDNESDAY EVENING, J \NUARY 15, 1797. Extra<ft from-the Fren.h Gazette of^ew-York, 23d January. The brig Liberty, arrived in 19 \ys from Port-de- Paix & jean Kabel, has brought the important news that the Cowimifiieners of the French Government at St. Domingo have published a proclamation out lawing General Rigaud ; depriving Lcfranc, and fomc other* in office in the Southern part of the island, of their places, and enjoining the whites in that quarter to go to St. Domingo or to the United States.

When a plot is blown up this i« the cafe invariably. Guy Faux and his friends were extremely irritated when Guy was detefled ; the Guys always were irritable—dete& them ex pose them—blow them up, and iney have all the sensibility of offended honor.—Mr. Bache is irrita ted because Hercules is fearing the lall neck of the Hydra. Mr. Femno, The Aurora of yesterday morning fat was to have been expe&ed) ccnfures loudly the govern ment for communicating to the people, the letter written by command of the President <• Mr. Pinck ney, in answer to the charges brought again ft it by Mr. Adet. This letter to Mr, Pinckney, Mr. Bache tells us ought to have remained a secret for the piefent. It is not thus that the Aurora spoke Adet published his Philippic against our govern ment, in which he aceufed, in the mod arrogant & cffcnfive stile, with duplicity, ingratitude, and hor rible perjidy to Fra»ce. Then it right to pub lift) this iofolent piece in a papet the most abandon ed to French machinations in the United States, e- Ten before it could be read by the Prefid?nt. Nou it it turong that the people should be made acquaint ed *ith the c«ndu& of the Executive, and the sal fity of the charges so arrogantly brought again! it ! Is it a maxim with the French party rha TRUTH only (hsuld be concealed from th people? Who caused the letter to Mr. Mr. Pinckney to be puhlitoed ? Congreft, (not t.c Prefident—jand it is (aid by an unanimous vote. On thii 1 ebferve—l ft. That it was the duty of the President to enabl* Mr. Pinekney to answer all the charges brought againtl out government by the French, and tolhow to hint, that by its uni form, friendly and neutral coadopt it had not expo fed itfelf ro any of the opprobrium* so liberally Aft upon it by Frcnch minifttri ; and was intitled and had a tight toexpeft and demand the benefits •f its commercial treaty with France. jd. Thar it was further the duty of the Execu tive to communicate to Congrefsfot their informs tion, at so important a crisis, this full and clear ex polition of the conduit it hsd uniformly held tow ards France, and what it had a right to expect from France. 3d. That if Congress ha»e thought it proper to communicate to the people that which the pie iident deemed it his duty to communicate to them, it it to be presumed hat Congress iliouuht that the information and th« femiments contained in the Se .eretaty of State's excellent letter were of a nature which they could not withhold from the public without a breach of duty to the nation—and with t«at abandoning them ta the influence of nnilchiev. -ous errors re-fpe&ing the charges brought agaiaft the whole government—of dangerous dclufions on thl point of gratitude, and of infinitely subtle but .daring intrigues.
