Henry Marcbant, EJq, judge of Jaid Court. Comes John Biptift- Bernarde, a citi zen of the French Republic, and on the libel of Thomas Jehnings, for himfelf & JchD Vnn r, both of the Britilh pro vince of New-Brunfwick, under which rerti-n monies, now remaining in the hands of William Peck, Esq. Marlhal ol Cud Diflricl, being ihe proceeds of the sales of th: brigantine Perseverance and J', a'cargo, have been arretted by order or ll,is court, and detained from the lawful owners thereof; prays judgment, whether i this honorable court will take any further cognizance of tin said libel, and that t: e.fame be difmiiTed. occiufe he fays, ill. That the legality of the capture of the said brigantine Perseverance, and her I cargo, has already been determined under the authority of the United States, aid a greeably to the praflice of nations, and in a mode required at the special instance of the libelants, by their public consul resi dent here. id. 3eoaufethe custody and pofieffion of said brigantine Perseverance, and car go, by the said W iltiam Peck, Marlhal as aforefaid, were had in due couffe of law, and not under the authority of this court, aud therefore the disposal thereof is not within they'urifdiiftion of this court. 3d. Because thelibellants have not com plained in their said libel of the illegality of thefale of said brigintine Perseverance, and cargo, by said Peck, nor of any 'un lawful interference on his part; and the said sale being made on the land, and with in the body of the county of Providence, in open market, the Admiralty can have no jurifdjetien. 4th. Because. if the libelants are entit led to receive the said monies, proceeding from the sales of said brigantine Perseve rance and cargo they have a clear remedy for the fame, at common law, in the Cir cuit Court of the United States, under an a lion of aflumpfit, for monies received tr> use. * ?th. Bccaufe the said brigantine Perfe t ante, and cargo, by the libellants own wing, at the time of the alledged cap -11 re thereof, were the property of fonle • • the fubjedls of the King of Great Bri a, and the fame were captured on the high feis, and not within any of the wa rs of the United States, and more than 11 marine league from any of the shores • i;reof, bv the crew of the armed lchoo ner Sans Pareille, belonging to citizens of the French Republic, commanded by a Vrench citizen, and manned with more than two thirds of her crew by French •amen and marines, and bearing a torn r i'ffiou of war under the French Repub the citizens of which weretl\en. and ; -\e United States are a neutral -r.atioa ii cue prejjjit war ; wherefore, by the law of natifr.s, the court* of the Unitcc States aanr.avi "o jurisdiction or aiithori tv IjO itwrri'iit 'r,e ou.-f'onof prize or no prize, between the citizens of the French Republic and their public enemies, or to" reftorf: to locn enemies what has been ta , ken {' them on the high seas- bydthe ci tizen . o ,'aid Republic.

The inha bitants ofthofe parts, we are happy to alTert, are now fenfrble, that the civil au thority is fully competent to enforce the laws, and to punish both past and future offences, inasmuch at the people at large are determined to support every descrip tion of civil officers in the legal discharge of their duty. The beginning of last week, a man in Lebanon, about 25 miles from this town, who has had, f*ir a while past, .fume disagreement with one of -his neighbours, and being led on by liquor, palfion and the devil, beat the obje£l of his revenge in such a manner, that put an end to hie life.

In our lad wai mentioned the murder of the wife of Pslton Warren, by Henry M'CauJhng, Perhaps it may be well to itate feme of the circumftenc'es which led to the horrid murder. It appears that M'Claufling has lately become deluded in matters of religion. For feme timepaft he has principally alTociated himfel with a party of Baptists, living on a plantation back of Pitffcon, h;aded,bycne Stinfon, and two or three others. In one of his parox ifpis of religious insanity, he* burnt an ele gant church in the town of Pkfton. lie f fays that Stinfon told him that his br - tker .Edward Portis, wht) was lately executed for the murder of Pamela Tilton, was certainly gone to Heaven, and that the road (o raven was marked with btord.— M'Clau».ing thought as For:is had gone to heaven he fhouH go there too, provided he used the fime means. After he had rea soned hiihlelf into the propriety of going to heaven in bltod, who ihould fall by hi; hand was his next object of inquiry.
