NEW-YORK, September 30. On Wednesday the 20th iiift. came on to trial, before the hon. Judge Cufhingy in the Circuit Court of thp United States for the • diljriil of Coine&icut, the cause of Samuel Fowler, and others, against Maiy Lyndfay and others, in which the Plaintiffs claim, un der a grant from the state of Connefricut, a part of the traft of land called Connecti cut Gore. The defendants holding under a title derived from the state of New-York, appeared and pleaded to the jurifdiftion of the Court, that the landderaanded was with* in the diftrift of New-York, and not with in the diflri£t of Connecticut, on which an t issue was joined, and a jury summoned to try the issue. The defendants then challenged the array of the jurors, and for causes of challenge al ledged, I. That the pannel was arrayed by the Marshal of the diflrift of Connedlicut, who was a, freeman and inhabitant of said state. 2. That the deputy Marshal by whom the Marshal summoned and arrayed the jurors wa3 interefled as a purchaser and claimant ih said Gore. To which challenge the plaintiffs demurred, and the defendants joined in demurrer. The question was very ably and learnedly argued by Mess. Parsons and Sullivan on die part of the Plaintiffs ; and by MefTrs. Hoffman and Hamilton on the part of the defendants. After the arguments the court gave tlveir opinion that the firfl cause of chal lenge allcdged was inefficient, but that the second reason assigned was fufficient, and on that ground quashed the array. - A m6tion was then made by the Plain tiffs to have another jury immediately sum moned ; but the term being so nearly expi red,- as not to leave fufficient time for the trial of the cause, thecourt overruled the mo tion ; and the cause of course was continued to the next term to be holden at New-Ha ven in April next. BOSTON, September 26. This day general Hull's division of mi litia will be reviewed at Concord. It is supposed there will be about 7000 men un- I der arms, including several trsops of cavalry. J His excellency the governor left his feat at | Roxbury, this morning, for the field of re- j view, under escort of two companies of 1 horse. To-morrow he will return, escorted by four troops of cavalry. Many of the refpcftable inhabitants of this town, will be present at the review. [These troops are all in complete uniform —blue broad-cloath, with various facings. Attached to this division is a body of dra goons, consisting of 500 men also in com plete uniform.] On Friday hft, another effort was made to launch the frigate Conflitution. At the instant the shores were removed she started, .and glided to the water with a regular rapi dity, which promised a handfomc comple tion of the wishes of a very numerous collec tion of the inhabitants of Boston and its vi cinity; but after moving about 30 fe-t, she suddenly flopped. As she was just then en tering on the temporary wharf, erefted to support the ways, ij was conceived unfafe to make further attempts to get her off, till there was the most perfect assurance of her finifhing her launch ; as it wjs dreaded her weight, resting on the wars, might occasi on it to fettle, and the consequences be very serious. What was the real impediment to her launching on this latter day, wc are un able to determine/ It is ascribed to several causes. The fettling cf the ground—the tightness of the bligeways, &c. But too much pjaife cannot be bellowed on the inge nious Conftruftor, whose prudence and fidel ity so evidently triumphed over his ambition and resolution. Vic hear, the workmen will as usual, be employed upon the frigate, and that the launching is deferred till about the 19th of October. C'apt.

NORFOLK, September 23. 9F SANTHONAX. The following interesting particulars of the proceedings at Cape Francois, refpedling Santhonax, from the 16th to the 29th of August, we received by a gentleman pas senger in the brig Democrat, arrived on Thursday. On the 16th of August general Touffaint, with part of his cavalry, arrived at the Cape from Gonaives ; on the 17th, the regular troops and militia were summoned by beat of drum through all the ttreets to a general review the next morning. At this review, general Touffaint harangu ed the troops, ex horted them to support the laws of France, and never to deviate from the true principles of republicans. After the review was over, general Touffaint arrested the aid-du-campf of Santhonax, and sent him on board a ves sel in the harbor. On the fame evening the gerieral fujrimoned all the commanders and generals of the Cape and the neighboring diftrifts, before him, and presented a paper for them to sign, the purport of which was the crimination of Santhonax, and to fliew the necessity of his bting sent to France : this paper they all refufed iigning, except the commandant Chriftophe, who declared that he would sign it, conscious he would serve his country, and probably save the ef fufion of much blood. On the morning of the 20th, general Touffaint waited on San thonax, and told hire that he mull positive ly embark on board the ship Indian for France, and answer for his conduft during his administration ; that he would give him to the 25th to arrange his affairs, but that he must on that morning be out of the har bour of the Cape, or his head should an swer for it : an order was in consequence given to get the above ship ready for sea, and two seamen from each of the American veffelr m the harbour were put on board to assist in rigging her. General Touffaint then went out to Petit- Ance with his cavalry, part of which he en camped there, and stationed the remainder of them on the Heights of the Cape, to cut off all communication between the town and country, and the Cape was embargoed both by land and water. On the morning of the 25th, the ship failed with the commissary Santhonax, ac companied by a confidential Spanish officer, \vith whom was entrusted general Touffaint's dispatches : the ship was to touch at Port au-Paix, to procure more seamen; but when they came off the island of Tortuga, com missary Santhonax called the Spani/h officer to him, told him he was not ignorant of his being charged with Touffaint's dispatches, and opening a chest containing 10,000 joes in gold, offered him what part of them he pleafed, provided he would let him fee the contents of them ; this the officer refufed, declaring at the time that nothing should prompt him to break the trull put in him. Santhonax then told hi in he was as much corn miliary on b«ard the (hip as he was it < - the Cape -he ordered the officsft trunks to be hr.&fe offifgyfewd- «lx diipstclits,, sead ' thcin, and afterward ■• lore them up, and put , the Spaniard ashore on the island of Tortuga - without any clothes except what he had on, - | from whence he got to the Cape. | On the 28th there was another gtnenj re , view of the. troops arid militia, at which 1 general Touffaint addr;ffed. them* telling [them that the reason for his fhippiog off the t 'ComtniHary was, that he had laid i- a plan to detach thcgovemmfrit of the island . from France, and not to acknowledge her . 'any longer; that, he was. to be the chief r 1 ruler of the island ; that he had iffijed out I wine and money to gain the present leading men of the Cape on his fide, so as to be able . cffe&ually to put his bafff proje&s ill fcrce. The general also said that helcnewthe.names of all that-were concerned, would point them 1 out, aodthat .he would 4v> every thing in his : power for the good of his country. The ■ fame day general Laveller, colonel Roderic, I and another commandant were arretted, and t were to be tried; in a few days. , It is fupppfed that general Touflaint has, by his spirited co;idu£t and the discovery of Santhonax's plot, saved all the white inha bitants on the island from being massacred. The general.has also allured them that in a few days he would lay the whole of Santho : nax's plan before v them. Conjpftures were • various as to the rout whiph Sanihonax had taken ; but it was mostly expe&ed he would i go to some' Spanish fettlpment. , —. CHARLESTON, Sept. x S . Gold Ncuu far cur Mfr chants.

For the Gazette of the United States. MR. FENNO, I have observed, with the utmost regret, in several late papers, a great number of pa-' ragraphs, which were evidently intended to injure a medical character of the higheflt esti mation, both in Europe and America. In desiring you to inferc the following re marks on these paragraphs, I rely on that candor and impartiality, which, at leal}; in re gard to fcientific subjects, oyght to charac terize every.public print. The torrents of abuse which have so a bundantly been poured'on Dr. Rulh, seem to have arisen from a desire of wounding his feelings as an individual ; of injuring hia re putation as a physician ; and of preventing •the general introduction of his mode of prae tice. J}ut the enemies of Dr. Rush may be assured that their vile and illiberal scandal cannot disturb the tranquillity of his exalted mind. In the present instance the tongue of malice will as ineffedtually ftied its venom, as it did at the time when our late illustrious president retired from the chair of govern ment. "JThe objeft of the labours of Dr. Rush is the improvement of the science of medicine. Ht finds an ample reward in the approba tion of his own conscience ; his endeavours havt been crowned with success, and he has added largely to the stock of human hap piness. With a view, probably to injure the re putation of the-Dr. as a medical pra&ition-* er, he-has been emphatically stigmatized by the name of a' quack. With equal proprie ty might we denominate Newton an illite rate pretender to philosophy, or Homer a poetaster. Those feeble attacks which have been made oft our American Hippocrates, can have but little effect in blading or injuring his fame ; like the fhort-ljved ephemero", they are limited to the existence of a Jingle day. The" principles 'of medicine which are taught and promulgated by Dr. Rufli, have been afftrted-by one of your paragraphifts, to be 1* contrary to reaCoji. aud experience." I take the liberty, however, boldly to de clare, that they will* eventually triumph o ver all op'pofition, merely because they are molt ftridly iupported by reason and by ex perience. It isliot a; new thing, that men,, who by their exertions have promoted in an eminent degree, the cause of science and hu manity, are rewarded with detraftion and ingratitude—This is not the lirff time that " truth has been Dr. Har vey's immortal discovery of the circulation of the blood, was long a-matter of dispute and calumrry—He wasabufed and perfect ed 5 but the names of his perfeeutors, like the animals which have paid the price 6f his discoveries, are consigned to eternal oblivion. It may be necessary to add, that in spite of all opposition, the mode of practice pur sued by Dr. Rush is advocated by the most' refpedtablephyficians of Philadelphia ; and, from an appeal to reason and experience, every liberal and unprejudiced mind will be convinced, that it is the most fuccefsful method of treating the yellow fever. / H. • ' 1 Cjf The business of the CUSTOM-HOUSQ, 'will from this day be tranfaSed at Chester for feme time.
