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.

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.

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.
