[Official.] Extra A of a Letter from Win, E. Hillings, Esq. Vice-Consul of the United States at New Orleans, to the Secretary of State, _ dated " OBober 18, 1799. . " Yefterclay it was determined by his Majesty's Officers, that the Port should again be open to neutral bottoms until his pleasure should be known." Extract of a Letter from an American Gentleman, slated "St. Sebaflians, September 3, 1799. " The commerce of France has received great checks owing to the late tranfa&ions, which have taken place in that Country. A Paris paper of the 32d August gives the fol lowing account : " Thefituation of Bordeaux, preieuts an .fpcft the most diftrelTiuy •" Commerce is at a stand ; Credit dc-ftroyed ; I' burns in every bosom ; the Cxpreffian of del pair it pictured in every countenance , every one is anxiously attentive to the newcrifis." " The late order of the King ofSprun re quring that his billets fhouid be received as a legal tender, arid not fuffer a deprecia tion exceeding fix per cent, has greatly em barrafTed and camped trade. The Billets are nevertheless at a depreciation of 34. per tent. " The French government have again gran ted commiflions for privateering, fubjedting however the owners of privateers to a duty of 15 per cent, on the amount of the sales of their prizes. Seventeen privateers of a large and elegant construction mounting from 20 to 30 guns are daily expedled to fail from Bordeaux. The columns o.f every democratic paper in the United States, have, for months, been crowded with comments upon the cdn dudt of the government, in the affair of Na than Robbins, or Jonathan Robbins, or ra ther Thomas Nash. The molt inflam matory declamations have been perfeveringly publilhed, calculated to villify our national justice ; to exeite the. people against the go vernment ; to call up from the " vafiy deep" of the democratic qaaldron all the spirits of rancour and r?ge against Great Britain ; and laflly, to juftify the conduft, and appease the troubled ghost of a felon. On a foun dation of Tand, a fabric of falfhood has been laboriously eredled by the assiduous builders of democracy. The public attention is now tailed to the simple truth of fails. It will be recollected that the seaman in queflion, fw®re firft, that he was a native of Connec ticut, and afterwards that he was born in Danbury, in that State. From the follow ing certificates by the town officers of Dan bury, it \yill be seen that this frlf.named Robbins, but who was known on board the Hermicne, only by the name of Nasty, was a perjured irnpoftor, and could er.lily fay " the thing that was Itot," provided falfhood ■would be subservient to mutiny, murder, or any other crime, which the new /mmoral philosophy may fugged. Danbury, September 16, T 799. WE, the subscribers, fclect m n cf thw town of Danbury, in the State of ConncAicut, certify that we have always been inhabitant* of said town, and are from forty-five to fifty-feven years of age, and have never/known an inhabitant of this town by the name of Jonathan or Nathan Robbins, and that here has not been, nor now is, any family known by the name of Robbins, within the limits of said town. Certi6t4^cr Danbury, September 16, T 799- TH F. fubferiber, late t»w* clerk for thi town of Danbury, in the State of Connecticut, certifies that he kept the towr. record* twenty-five years, viz from the year 1771 until tf.« year 1796, that he is now 56 years of agt, and that he never knew any oerfon by the name of Robins, born or residing in the said town of Danbury, during that ter«i of a 5 years, before or since. Major Taylor. Ferfeilly fatisfa&ory as this evidence mjirt be, it may, nevertheless be proper to add, the dying confession of this pirate, as it is dated in an official letter from Sir Hyde Parker: " In consequence of NaQi, one of the ringleaders in the mutiny, murders &c. on board the Hermione, being delivered up by the United States to me, he has been tried at a court martial, and sentenced to fuffer death, and afterwards hung in chains, which sentence has been put in execution. He ACKNOWLEDGED HIMSELF TO BE AN A letter from Port-au-Prince, dated Oft. 24, states, that Touflaint wai rapidiy mak ing a conqufft of the fouthem part «f St. Domingo. New levirs were marching from Port-au-Prince, to the reinforcement of Touflaint. . There are few emotions of the foul, more powerful than felf love s Toexprei's the ex tension of. the quality to a body, we borrow, irom the Bibliotbeque of France, the phrase I.'Esprit de Corps : It is that Spirit where by the force and fafcty rppertaining to a mul- titude, are combined v.Tth As vigour of in dividual impulse. The Democrats have al ways plumed thenifelves them as quickly passing " In vicum, vendentem thus et odore», Et piper, ct quicquid ebsrtis amicitur incptii" That is, in a language, which the children of Bacbe can more fluently conlhuc, bad produ&iom are at length confjgntd to a blind alley, where alfpice and pepper, and whatever is wrapped up in stupid news papers are fold. How ealy it is to suppose that a " quantity of walte paper, fit for growers and trunk-makers" can be readily found 011 ths tiles of 3, fadlious printer, and, with how much graceful in oddly the Aurora man, that " son of the morning" imp ruffes us with his consciousness of the dcltmy, \vr.:ch awaits his diurnal pages. No one will deny that the paper of the Aurora is waste ; that confidoring its Jiimsincss, it is tolerably .fit for "grocers and trunkiuakers j" and that, from the necessities of a young family, and the wants of an editor, it is always for sale, for any purpose, and for any price. Literary projects have almost always prov- ] ed abortive in Boilcn. Many attempts have j been made to eftablilh periodical works in that l'niall town, but mifcsllaueous readers alk in vain for a magazine, or a review, or a literary journa.fi 11 the capital of New En gland. Ihe poverty of the inhabitants is the probable cause of this deficiency. But the lip pes of authors, like the delires of lov ers, are not eaiily extinguilhed ; and a Mr. Hawkins, in the fanguuie spirit of a pro jedtor, adventures to expose himfelf to the cold inclemency of a commrcial port. He proposes the publication ef a Monthly Ma gazine, entitled " The Columbian Phcenix." But from the dust and asbus of Bollon, this Columbian i'oarer will hardly arise. This is to be deeply regretted by the lovers of litera ture and the friends of humanity, un derftand that Mr. Hawkins is both a ble and unfortunate man. His success •?. warmly wilhed, but scarcely to be expected. Although it is faidheis tobeaidedbythe daf fical learning and attic wit of the author of the " Jacobiniad," the Boftonians will, pro bably, prefer, as uTual, the perusal of some of their meagre and time-serving newspapers, or rathar that informing and witty work called " An Advertisement." General Ira Allen has publifhsd in Eng land*. natural and political hi fiery .of Ver mont. Thegeneial understands the politics of his native State admirably well. Hs alio seems to have a very correct notion of pri vate politics, when he publillies t book in London, from the profs of Straban and Ca dell, rather than at Beiiningtoti from the preis of Anthony H.ifwcll, the very Tony Lumpkin of Vermont democracy. The Duke of Liancourt's book, lately an nounced in the papers, is now printed by foine of the Britilli bookfttllers. It is rather odd that a very large proportion of the tra vels and tours in America havbeen the.wark not only of foreigners but of such as have been miferabty ignorant and stupid, or demo cratic, wicked, and dei'igning. Fir it we 11 ad the simple and credulous Abie Robin ; then the fupsrficial and hasty Chaftellux ; then BrifTotto whose notorious name it is unne cessary to append any epithet; then Matter Cooper from Manchester. thi friend and as sociate ot Priestly, the " Praise Gua Bare banes" of Northumberland, and lastly " as one born out c(f due time" appears the Duke of Liancourt in the character of an author, and observing traveller through the United States. Perhaps, although Monsieur le Due is a very, weak man, yet he c*n ftiift to the I'emblance of a man of letters, as eafil-7 as to many other forms, which this Hghtful de fendant of the Viear of Bray has long been in the habit of a {Turning. He began with the dutifulnefs ol loyalty, a courtier and the King's friend. Next he was a mirror of moderate republicanifin, and all the luke warm tribe might recognize in him a fort of political inanity, like their own ; next he ap peared iu Bo(isa, Sic. and there he was a fort of a royal, patriotic', jacobinical, moderate, federal, anti federal, anti Gallo, anti Anglo, changeable silk politician, very much like the conductors of some of our Columbian papers in that quarter. Next he wandered over the different part? of the United States, and, doubtless, was a perfeft Frenchman in them all. By *nd by we find him in Hamburg, willing to lose his garter, and quench his star, and blot his ducal escutcheon, and be , struck off the lift of emigrants, and crouch at the feet of Pentarchy. Lastly, as not even the holy Talleyrand could receive him into the bosom of the new Gallic Church, we find this reje&ed Harlequin in England, and publiihir.g, in the sansculotte style, a book of travels through this country. This performance, from the recency of its publica tion abroad, we have not yet had an oppor tunity to peruse, or criticise. But extra&s from the velume have been received and ex amined. From the tenor of theft it is evi dent that a system of general mifreprefenta t:on of American affairs may be from this Jacobin at bottom, who, it is un derstood, ha; calumniated public characters of integrity and worth ; and, with the com mon arts of a democrat, has difto'rted and falfified circumftaaces, with the unblufliing effrontery of an Old BaiJey witness, and with the flexible confcienGe of one of Butler's « affidavit men."

Mr. Ruflei, who, if he did not waver quite to much in his polities, uccaiionally maltreat his bed friends, attack the members of hi? own party, and give his piper such a whim sically variegated and raifibow appearance, is certainly to be prailfd as an aftive, intel ligent editor, muff take care, or worse de feds will be fjupd in his Centinel, than an error in geographical science.

The crcMi-eoloured patch set into the Bil lings qte address, of our new S.mciio Pan za, to his Barr.itrarian reminds one., of a remark by David Gar rick on a mortal enemy, who, like our Sancho, was p&forming a dignified character in an un couth diri's. He is a blackguard, now ; fajd D ivicTJ "and by putting a patch or two an his coat, will make a good Scaramouch. Of the rfoh-eledVion of the proper govern or for Pennsylvania, we may lay, and in good set terms of hoiielt pride ano 'epilation too, that if dignity, property, ienlv, learn ing, rtafon and worth, could have aught availed, these things had not been so. And we may remcmberfurther, that in Philadel phia, where his antagoiuft lives, and is bed known, the fnd antagonist was left in the vocative—lll the western counties, where Mr. Rofs lives, and is bell known, he had a large majority. " The ■ut/iyet glimmers with foile ftrcaksof day," One of the paflions, that lead great minds to a&s of enterprize ancj daring, or of long toil and pain, in the service of their country, in its perversion, ftiinulates ignoble natures to attempts of iqUal magnitude; in.a contra ry cauf.- : thus JEroftratus burnt down the moil splendid monument of his age, and thus Jacobins, aim, without intermiflisn, at tht bouleversement of our religion and laws.

From a flailing Justice and Equity in the outline, Jacobins have-begun to attack it in detail : Having long btcft in the habits of reviling those laws oy which piretes and murderers are rendered up to justice, they now attack, in the very natural* progress of their system, the particular operations of the laws. Thus does impunity ever embolden crime ! Thus does the dog-logic politician of the day, progrefs.ftcp by ftep,t'rom liberty and equality, to open fedition—from fed it ion tp dabbling in Jlour contracts—and from d;ib bling in flour contrails to joining in the grand Conspiracy against the laws, religion and government of his 'fountry. It is at length p.ioved, by evidence the molt irrefragable, that Robbins was not a native of America. This, theugh it be ir relevant to the general question of his cafe, would have been highly flattering to men f«linga pride in the honor of their country, •vere nst-tliat confide ration detrafisd forri, ■>y the dilgraceful faiSj.that Americans have ween found ready to approve and justify his foul, innaunal dfeeus : this is f\i 11 a conso lation, however. It has beet) aliened, with a bold countenance, that Robbins, alias Tho mas Nasji, was an imprefied American feanien. It bein.j pro.ved tjiat he,was lint an American, his impreffmetit becomes a question, of which wc; have no cognizance, even tho' it were proved ; which it has ne ver been. ..Nash, it appears, was so w.ll pieafed with his lituatiou, as to make many cruises in the (h ; p, in the cpurfe of whjch, he role to the rank of. warrant officer. Hav ing touched often , during these cruises, at. different ports, where abundant opportuni ties mult, have offered, of deferring the fliip, had there existed an inclination on his part, it is fair-to conclude, that be took the lead ing part we find he did in the cruel murder which enfuecj, solely from a thirst for plun der. But dilappnintment, in this inftante, at least, attended on crime ; and in his ileep, four years alter the perpetration of.the massacre, he betrayed indications of guilt, which led to his detedlion and punifhtnent ; much to the grief of all virtuous demo- crat.?; 11 Thus tho' the villain 'scape awhile, he feels, " Slow vengeance like a bloodhound at his heels."
