Extratl of a letter from Cape-Francois, August 6. " We have now a civil war throughout this Aland : citizens are fighting against citizens, and trade is entirely at a Hand, and unfafe : it is a very critical time, and very dangerous to have debts out. Produce has got exceeding high and scarce ; a great part of the people's time is taken lip with the present difturbances,fo that they can not attend to the Molalles is not got at any price."

IROM THE POUGHKEEPSIE JOURNAL. r | second session of Congress is now closed, and when wc A confidcr the fubje&s which have been under difcuflion and the decisions which have been made upon them, I consider it as concluding under circumstances not inauspicious to the interest and honor of the United States. The question of the removal, intro duced as it was, in the midst of the most important business, ap peared to be below the dignity of the government. It has howe ver terminated #11 fuither uneasiness on the fubje6t, and if an im mediate removal has too much the air of levity and local politics, yet a more central situation for the permanent rcfidence was un doubtedly a just proportion. Complaints have frequently been wiadc at the* 'ength and slowness of the proceedings of Congress; but the persons who make them, have taot properly refle&ed on the difficulty and importance of the business they have had before them. Qurftions ariftng on public revenues and credit are the most intricate m the science of and they were peculiarly dif fituU wi h us f-om the long unsettled condition cf our public funds, and tiie various claims and various opinions that have been founded upon thnn. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury firft brought up to view solid principles in the settlement of the Bui lie credit, and is no doubt the ablest production that has ever be n 'produced in this country on the fubjett of Finance. This report has been difcuffed> and its principles investigated for feve fal months—the anxiety of the public has been great—-its expecta tions have been raised and repeatedly disappointed, till at length the business has terminated, if not entirely to every one's wishes, yet in a manner very latisfa&ory to the community and honorable to the government. The national debt is funded—a considerable portion of the state debts afTumed and funded also, and provision made by law not only for redeeming and finking the public debt, but for a final fcttlement of accounts between the individual Rates and the union. Thi» business alone so immensely important to the lrfcreft and welfare of QUr country, is in my judgment cheaply accompliftied by fix months of debate and deliberation. I could havr trlhrd the public circumstances had admitted some things te have been more fully done, which are now limited by the proba ble neccflities A the union. A more ftrift adherence to principles would have required the whole of the state debts to be afTumed and not a pait only—the interest of the national debt to have been funded on like terms with the principal, and not at three percent,; and the whole debt to have been immediately funded at an inter est of fix per cent, and not a third part postponed for ten yeais. However when I rcfleft on the vast difficulties and opposition that Congrefo had to contend with, and the various jealousies and pre judices which have started up, I cheerfully ac<|uiefce, and with fenfationsof pride and gratitude in the measures which have been adopted. I consider them as measures of great and wife and neces sary national policy, and which will contribute, almost as much as the late revolution in the government, to consolidate our union, and replace our public character, on the permanent foundations of inrertft and jufticc •The great objefls which were ncceffary to make us a free and refpedlable nation seem now to be nearly attained. Next to a well armed and well balanced government for the United States, was the funding and gradual redu&ionof the public debt, and the settlement of the claims of the several states. One of the last a&s of Congrrfs was to provide means for the final adjustment of the aecouuts between the individual ftaies and the union. The pre sent generation have done in a few yeafs the work of a century. We have accomplished our freedom, our reputation, our union. No people have more deeply studied and more happily seized the true principles of government. No people can frame or reform their conftitutiona as successive experience may di&ate ; or restore an d fix their public credit, as the national exigencies may require, with more cooliefs, harmony and dispatch. Personal, political and religious frtedom, seem to have attained their last stage of per fection and fecuiity in America,. The spirit of freedom has in deed exlfted in a)I ages; :t has often ihown out with a brilliant Juftre—but its splendor and hippy efFe£ta, have been but moment ary, and have perished under forms of government illy constituted, and fubjeft to perpetual vibration. It is impossible to fay how far improvements may still be made in the great science of render politics subservient to the happiness of mankind. It has been rcferved to the people of this country to present the best image vjhirh has hitherto appeared in civil biftory of a wifely and ly balanced republican government; or a government which will ensure the most equal and beneficent adminillration. Our pro gress in political knowledge appears the more ftrrking when we «bferve tne conduct of tlie French nation, a nation celebrated for quicknc'tof conception. They seem to be inattentive to the ripe f i uits of experience which they might gather from the history of all nations, and which have been so deeply and elaborately difplay rd by Doctor Adams in his defence of the Ameiican Conftituti ona, and to be running with intemperate ardor after democracy. It is impossible to tell what will be the result of their revolution. I will however venture to aflert that there is more found sense and found knowledge of government displayed by an anonymous wri ter in the Gazette of the United Slates in his Discourses on Da yila,"than in all the deliberations of the French National Aflembly. ) may be thought too warm in my reflections on the genius and felicity of America. It suits fometempers to be constantly view ing and exaggerating the dark fide of public and private life. I confefs I find more consolation and pleasure in the opposite pic ture, and in viewing what is honorable and advantageous to my country. It at least serves to render us more cheerful and con tented in our own private walks—it gives us as patriots a certain pride and elevation of fentimenf, anei as men of serious and de vout affe&ions, it serves to fill our minds with gratitude and love, and from the view of private and political bleflings, to raise our thoughts to that being who is the great Author of tbofe bleflings and Father of mercies NEW-YORK, AUGUST 28. 'T'HE Gattttes of the fuverai Sutcs of the month of June last, informed the public, that a man, who called himfelf Ar chibald Ross, and palled through Petersburg, in Virginia, gave out that about livte yeirs ago, being on board a called the Julius Co/at-, commanded by Capt. Squires, belonging to Phi ladelphia, and on her way from Charleiion to€adi2, the fa«d (hip was taken off the Weftem Islands by two Algcrine and car ried to Algiers ; that himfelf and tWeoty-one others, hiscompan 10ns, whose names he pretends to recite, were condemned to Aa very, of whom himfelf and fix others, at length elcaped to Gib raltar; that from some Post of Spain Ire the fai& Archibald Rofs, a " Archibald Deacon, got a passage to Boston, where he left the said Deacon,and was proceeding through PcterfburgtoCharlef ton, where he said his friends reftded-. He pretended also to havefeena Mr. Henry Whiting in slavery among the Algerincs. Government being in pofleflloti of evidence that there are no other American captives in the Barbary States but fifteen, who are of taken in the year 1785, in the (hip Dauphin, Obrian, and schooner Maria, Stephens, immediately took measures for enquir ing into such of the fa&s ftatcd by Archibald Rofs, as were with in their reach. They are informed from Philadelphia, on an offi cial examination of the entries for fix years back, that no such fliip as the Julius Casfar, commanded by Captain Squires, has be longed to that port within that period ; from Charleftort on an ex amination of eight years, that no Tuch Ihip has cleared out there within that period, and from Bodon*) that but one veflfel has arrived tilet'e which had failed froth any poit ol Spain within the perioaof the pretended efcapc of R'ofs, the maftrr of which, on examination, declared that while in Spain he heard nothing of this matter, and that no such pafTmger as Archibald Deacon came with him. The information from Charleston is further, that the pretended Archibald Rofs has not made tys appearance there. Attention was paid to this impofler, because he furnifhed mat ter for his own dete&ion ; and because repeated inftanefs give reason to apprehend that it is becoming habitual with Vagrant ad venturers to fublift themfclves on good and unguarded citizens, by persuading them that their brothers, children, or hulbands, long since loft at fca, are now living in Algiers, where they pre tend to have seen them in captivity, thus nourishing their own profligacy in the fluicea of diflrefs, which they cruelly re*open in breafls where time had closed them. A humane people will cer tainly discourage this flagitious abuse of their best paflions, by treating as swindlers and divulgers of falfe news, those who shall be found dealing out talcs as improbable as they are cruel. #3" The Printers of the several Gazettes in different parts of the United States are desired to insert the above. TOUR TO RHODE-ISLAND. The late excursion of The President of the United States to the State of Rhode-Island, is one of those events which makes the deepelk and most pleasing impreflions on the public mind : The people of that State had long wished for an opportunity toexprefs their feelings, personally, to 11 the mam who unites ail hearts." RECEPTION AT NEWPORT. The Prcfidcnt arrived at Newport on Tuesday 17th inft. where he was received with the highest demonftrationfcof joy : An elegant en tertainment was provided in the Rcprefentatives' chamber—which was emblematically dfcorated on the oecafion : Addrefles were prelented from the Rev. Clergv, and'the Society of Free Masons. After viewing the town, on WcdnefdaV he was escorted by a large and refpe&able committee, attended by a proceflion of the citizens to the Packet, and embarked for PROVIDENCE, At which place he arrived the fame day at 4 o'clock, P. M.— A proceflion was formed agreeable to * previous which escorted him to his lodgings at rifr.'Dagget'S tavern. The attendance of almoll every inhabitant, both of Newport and Providence in the proceflions, together with a brilliant ap pearance of ladies at the windows and doors of the houses, evin ced, in the mod sensible manner, their pleasure on this happy, oc calion. In the evening the College Edifice was fplcndidly illuminated. Federal Salutes were fired at Newport, and at Providence, on The President's landing and embarking—and the bells rang a joy ful peal: Addrefles were prelented by the town of Providence, the Corporation of the College, and the Society of the Cincinnati. After partaking of an entertainment at the Court House in Pro vidence, where the federal circle of patriotic toads were drank, accompanied by discharges from the artillery, The President, his Suite and the Gentlemen who accompanied him from this city, embarked on their return. FURTHER EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE. Accounts from Bruffel* inform, that the people of Brabant flock in great numbers to that city—lo,ooo entered in one morning, to pay their homage to the new government; but great alarms and confufion still prevail in that In consequence of the present critical situation of Affairs, the Hague Gazette has been lufpen ded for fix weeks. Alarming accounts are received at Paris daily of the diford.rs which pir vail in the army, moll of the regiments being no longer under fubjettion, they revolt, diiband, and are in such a state of infurre&ion, as renders it impoflible to calculate the refill t; in con sequence of this the King has proposed uniting the national troops with the regulars ; this proportion was joyfully received by the National AlTembly. The King and all the Royal Family are at St. Cloud to pass the summer. His removal from Paris caused some uneasiness, and an inflammatory pamphlet was wrote on the occasion, in which it was said there was a conspiracy on foot, and that the king was to be carried off ; this excited a great fermen tation, but it did not prevent the King from going the next day. The King of Sweden has pardoned the officers, whose sanguinary sentences are mentioned in this Gazette, No. 35. The prince of Naflau, commanding a fleet in the Ruffian service, has been defea ted by the King of Sweden in person. PRICE CURRENT. PUBLIC SECURITIES. Final Sett laments i2f± to 12/6. Indents jJz.
