A .gORRESPONQENT cannot hut express hisTUtjjnzb at a* paragHiph infd&r paper of Saturday evening, stating the conduit of that excellent man, and firm friend to America, Monsieur De la Fayette.—An American,who was at the time mentioned, in Paris, is well a Cured of the misrepresentation of that ac count. All parties acknowledged, that if was entirely owing to the firmnefs, prudence and good conduct of Gen. La Fayette, that the mob, collected in the Champ de Mars, was dispersed with so little ettufton of blood—after they had wantonly destroyed two persons, and were ordered repeatedly by the Mayor of Pa ris and the Municipality to difpei fe, without effect —Military law was proclaimed, and the guards fired firft over tlieir heads ; which was returned with Hones and (hot—A division then fired at the mob, and about thirtyAveje killed and wounded ; upon which they inftintly dis persed, and the city was as quiet the evening after, as if no lucli circum'ftpnte had 'happen ed : From*perfons pi'efeiit on the ground, it js Well )cno>vtj» were eoNwAetoy as 'Sre' said in the accoint . taken from the National Gazette, were'kShled.

J The above account of R.uffia's recognizing the French Republic, appears to be extraor dinary; but when it is considered" that Swe den, which is now in alliance with Russia, has (to use M. Kerfaint's observation) taken the French Republic by the hand, .and when it is also recollected that measures are said to be pursuing by the French Republic to indicate the Tutks against Russia and Austria, it will be conceived that motives of policy and felf prefervation may have induced the Eirtprefs to take this step. There are, con siderations which abate the probability of the account. Russia, Anftria, Prussia and Eng land, are apparently on good terms.', The Turks have fuffered so much in the latei war, that they will not slightly provoke their old enemy. England and Russia are conuefted ed heads of Europe are persuaded that the fuppreffiop of Fiench principles is a common cause to them. Should Russia be detached, one of the strongest links in the chain of the combination would undoubtedly be broken., France, in cafe of a rupture with England, will, it is laid, immediately declare her islands independent, sensible how inadequate her na val forces would be to protect them against the combined power of England, Spain and Holland. If this should be the cafe, we fhaJT be immediately released from the guaranty ftipiilated in the treaty of alliance. By the last courier from Port-au-Prince we learn, that an .American ve/Tel has been feiz. Ed at Fofle having on board 6000 muskets and 1000 pair of piftoli, corifigned to the worthy tie jiJmecourt.

The Hospital bill, before the Legislature, and which will probably pass, provides for the appropriation of 26,666 dollars for the improvement of that benevolent inftitutioo.

SIR, IT is known to your honor that in the year one thousand seven hundred and eightv-nine, bis excellency Arthur St. Cl#lr, was pleased to honor us with a coniniiflion for holding a Court of Common Pleat in the county afore faid—which coin million we nhole to accept, and have acted under the fame from that time to the present moment—during which time we are not sensible of any lack whereby it became forfeited,'or that it expired. We are again honored with your commis sion for holding the Tame Court; in Which the names of John S. Gano, and Aaion Cadwcll, Efqrs. are included. We/liould lie exceedingly well suited in their appointment, would they acccpt, could it be done oil principles compatible with the gene , ral iiitereft of the community. We, on our part, are not fond of innova tions, and are avprfe to multiplying oaths. Were we to ast under the late commission, in concert with the above named gentlemen, we inuft submit to a repetition of the oath of al legiance and of office, without any apparent necelfitv. But for a moment admitting it was neces sary that we rtiould be re-appointed to that office, we could not. stoop to the indignity of holding officesj the tenor of wMch is during pleasure. We could not so far betray the rights of our fellow citizens, as to et a prece dent which might fii!>jeift the important trust °' Judges of the Common Plea? to the wbira or caprice of any one individual. We have not yet forgotten, that this vrat matter of complaint against the adminiftra. tion of the Colonial government, at the com mencement of the late glorious contest with Great-Britain. In the articles of independence, ratified on the memorable 4th of July, 1776, we find the following clan's inserted—" He has made Judges dependent on his will alone," for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. That Judges Ihould he independent of the Executive, is expressly guarded by the Con stitution of the General Government, and it a right we never can relinquifli. In acquies cence with the aforefaid gentlemen, we here fend you enclosed that coromiffion which your honor has been pleated to offer to their and our acceptance ; we consider our'elves bound by and qualified to ast under the former, and lhall demean ourselves accordingly.
