'* When it suited the wicked views of a party
to fay that Congress had <ione nothing to encourage
American navigation; neither the matchlelV impu

Now it appears to be one of the fins of Mr. Jny,
Sec, that the treaty allocs the Britifli to cuuuter
vail our encouraging duties." The reader of the

sented as (ick and hniteninsf to diflijlutiori- for warn
of any aid from Congrefy, and now as ready to

For feme weeks previous to their escape a plan had

large Canoe which some times came on board the pri

was fruflrated by the defection of some of the party. —

and called' out, LibtßTy, (which was a sign agreed
upon some time before,) the rell of the party imme

Oars, three of the Negroes belonging to the Canoe
were thrown overboard, and two were kept. The
guard on board were soon alarmed, and got under
arms, but had no ammunition, several muskets wtft
fired fr»m the different ships, but did no Karm, two of
the ships boats, who occasionally firc*d upon them, and
three canoes, were in chafe as soon as poflible, and
two cannon were fired from one of the (hips as they
pafled Hog Island, one Battery they were oblige 1 to ,

Extrail t,f a.letter from Dominica.
" Oa the evening of the 4th of June, news came to
Town, of the enemy having landed at Lifova, which
alarmed the inhabitants very much, particularly so as
there was every reason to suppose a number of the
French inhabitants would join them. 1
" Two detachments of the St. George's militia
were immediately dispatched, with orders to proceed
io different routs, until they met the enemy, or formed
a junction ; one of which detachments proceeded via
Prince Ruperts, where they were joined by a party of
Regulars, and some militia from the different quarters
through which they pafled, which made their force
about 300 ltrong-<From Prince Rupert's they pro-,
ceedcd towards Pagua, and cn the 9th, they discover
ed the enemy had mad< a strong encampment at that
place.
" The other detachmcfft,proceeded via Rosalie, and
Castle Bruce, at which place they relied lome time to
enable them to encounter the fatigue they must under
go in marching from thence to Pagua, and on the nth,
they had the pleasure of finding themselves in fight of
their own friends, also of the enemy, who, from the
situation of the two detachments, were nearly sur
rounded.
" During this period, the inhabitants in town con
tinued in lenous alarm, which was incrcafcd by hear
ing that mod of the French Planters from Culiihant
' Quater having gone to join them; tlicy were howe
ver relieved an the jift, by the arrival of captain Bagot
and captain Home, with the French colours, and with
the following intelligence, viz.
" That from the nth to the 15th, they had several
ftirmifhes, and were aftonilhed to find on the morning
of the 16th, that the enetny had decamped, leaving
their tents, &c. behind them ; at the fame time they
had information,hat ailother party had landed atßaco
bo Bay, to which place they immediately marched and
on the i i 7th, came in fight of them, who, being afto
nilhed a? the formidable appearance of their opponents,
immediately feat in a flag of truce, with similar terms
of capitulation; as those which were agreed to by
General Graham, at Berville Camp, which were ac
cepted by Capt. Bathe, who had the command ; and
on the loth, the parry who flfcle to the woods at Pagua,
came forward and gladly agreed to the fame terms.—
In the mean time the Governor lent different parties
into the country, to prevent the Cullihant Planters
from joining the Brigands, which was happily efFe<£l
ed, and those vagabohd3 finding their friends had been
obliged to surrender, sued for terms (but with arms)
which was not granted j 130 of them are now prifen-
I ers • some of the ringleaders have fuffered, and others
will fliare the fame fate—about 430 of the Brigands
are prisoners, 5c or 60 killed and wounded, and some
few fled to the woods. There are only 15 of the Re
gulars and Militia killed and wounded.
Too much praise cannot be given to the Govsrnor
for his exertions and judgment in disposing of the
troops, nor to the officers and men for their exerti«ns
i on this occasion, upon tbc whole, a mire complete and
1 lingular vidtory was never heard of—and to those who
are unacquainted with the lfland of Dominica, the fa
tigue the men must have undergone, will be much ea
sier felt than can possibly be defcribtd."

From a Paris Paper of May 28.
To the Editors of the Gaacttt Franc'aife, written from
fi r arville-feus-Levei, near Chartres.
CTTIIEV EDITORS,
I D vVELLin the little village, where you know
the father of Briflot, made excellent p-tty pattecs. —
Happy for his son, and happy for France, if the
old author of the Patriots liancais, (the name of
Briiiot's Journal) had confined himfclfto his father's
trade, inflcad of becoming the cositinttatoroi Plato.
\etif he had read the whole of the trpatife on the
Platanian Republic, he would have seen that Plato
wished only for five thousand an'd forty ci
tizens in his Republic. Robefpieirt had read it
quite tlileugh, and bis ferocious genius was not
Startled at the conf-quenecs of fiuh a fyllem ; t'oi
it fcems he had rea'ly undertaken to change France
into a defart, and reduce the population to the
number fixed by Plato.
All who preach a new system of morality Or po
litics, arc obliged to envelop their opinions in ob
fctire and/njrttcrinu'i exprclTions to arc-id
fence to theexilling authorities, whose interest it is
to oppose innovators : Fins is the reason why all
the doftrinrs j n the M'orlJ, relating to religion or
government have become the fubjedt of an infinity
of disputes ; we torture we fiisfiourc priti
ciples, and the people at larefemMe blind men,
\vi:o tight about the choice of colours ; for instance,
■low much has not the word republic beei> abused.
We have, given this name to the (late of France un
der Robespierre, we give it yet to that unsettled
condition, to that (late o| crilis, in which we now
live. Where inuft we look for the proofs that a
country is republican ? Not in the exclamations of
fribu es and gronps, but in the form of theconfti
tution—and we have yet no conltitution—and there
fore we are not yet a republic.
It is curious to observe how the word republic
changes its fignifipation ; not only among the mul
titude. but among the learned. Bodin, t>i his work
upon republics, seems very anxious to make us ac
quainted with the Opinions of the Greek and Roman
legislators ; he thusexprelfeshimfelf in his (irft book:
"A Republic, is a juil government, invested with
sovereign power, crver many families, and over what
they poffefi in common." He adds a. the begin
ning of his second Book : " It may be said that
there are but three kinds of republics, namely, the
Monarchic, the Ariilocratic, and the Democratic."
Some narrow minds may conclude, from my ob
fc-rvations, that 1 do not love the republic, no cer
tainly 1 do not love it, such as it now is, but thr
day will come, whin this divinity of th« Greeks and
Romans will appear to us in all her splendor, and in
all her purity ; then will I be the hrft to raile al
tars to her in the mean time, permit me to ad
dress a letter to you now and then, on the means of
enabling her to triumph ov-jr her enemies.
I now qoit the pen, to go and resume the spade
and the rake ; I will no longer cite, Bodin, Briffot,
or Plato ; among the works of nature, and in the
common ienfe ot the. honest villagers around me, I
will learch and find proper ideas to enlighten my
fellow-citizens on the fubje£l of the best of all pos
sible republics, which is nothing more than a govern
ment whufe principles aed energy secure the hap
piness of the whole people. Be not too hasty in des
pising the simple notions of a husbandman—Re
member that Belifarious uttered the mod sublime
morality, and preached the founded politics, whilfl
weeding his garden. (Signed)

" News may bs cxpedted from the regions of war

ings of gentlemen of neighboring counties, aflem
b!ed at our Court-Iloiife, on Saiurday, the fourth

lohging to the brigade, being ordered to afTemble
there :—
It is represented to us, that on the aforefaid
meeting, certain illiberal and unmerited ceuiures
were exhibited, in a public and formal manner, by
a man not of the county; a mere Granger, against
certain officers of fhc tederal hut in a
particular and pointed manner against the Piefident
of the United States ; in order, therefore, to ex
pi eft; our diflent and djfapprobation, and moreover
to difclai'm all political connexion with meh of thtf
foregoing description, and to avert that odium that
mil(i necfflarily result from an acquiescence to such
tneafures—
We havc,a(Tembk-d, and do RESOLVE—That,
In the name of the county, we pointedly and une
quivocally difavo-w fnch frntimenti, in as much as
they tend to she Jcdniftion of thst conhdencc
which every good citizen ought to have in govern
ment, and to the alienation of their affections frona
the officers thereof, who, particularly the Prcfident,
will continue to Ibare our Wnrrneft afFe&ions, f<»
long as the prosperous situation of.government, e
vinces the wisdom of their deliberation;.
That, Every it tempt to alienate tlie afFeftiosis d
the people from the officers of government, Is an
open violation of good ordei, and randot be uni
fied by any, wiiofe situation and circomflancts in
life, would make it their intcrelt to prefer order and
government to anarchy and i-onfufioh.
1 hat, vVe cannot help exprcfiing our afianifti
ment at the want of delicacy in gentlemen attempt
ing to sow the feeds of anarchy in a country wh re
they are not inhabitants, among people too, who
are as remarkable for their attachment to order and
good government, as for their abhorienC'C to every
menfure calculated for its definition.
i nit, the spirit tor diforginization, which zt pre*
sent so strongly feature* the turbulent, has unired, and
dilcrves the united difapprobaticin of ail good patriot s.
1 hat the Prehdent, though neither unerring in his
judgment or omnipotent in his execution ; for his firm
■eft, virtue, and wisdom, which calculate him for the
meridian of Republic—deserves our elieem, leev'tt
aad wirmeft applauses, and whilst we difdainto adore
him ns a Deity, with equal relu&ance would with -
hold 'lis tribute, and wifa to canonize him as the fa
ther of his country.
That, It is the firm and unbiaiTed opinion of this
a trembly, that the Preiident never las, bv
migration, or miirtile in government, mei'irretf: a for
feiture of the e2e*m and affetfions of his felW-ci'i.
lens ; but, on the contrary, that hie public and privaie
