In the review, there was not comprised the 86th regiment, cons sisting of more than 2oco veterans, accustomed to a southern climate, who arrived in the latter end of October-As to the situation of the country, the Spanish part and the southern part were in a state of perfect tranquillity. In the canton of Jeremie alone some accidents had happened. Some hundreds of the brigands, profiting by the excessive heat, which rendered all action impossible, committed ravages, and even burnt some planta-probably charged with dispatches from the fleet, tions in the plain of the Cape; but it is well known, that in the midst even of the most tranquil departments it is impossible to arrest the incendiaries. Of 60,000 musquets which were in the possession of the blacks, 45,000 have been returned into the magazines; and general Leclerc reckoned, that after the first fifteen or twenty days of the rainy season had passed, he should be able to march, towards the latter end of November, for the purpose of dispersing the remaining assemblies formed in the mountains, completing the disarming of the blacks, and destroying the means of subsistence which they had collected.The Cape was almost entirely rebuilt, and all the towns which were burnt a year since, are rebuilding with the greatest activity (Moniteur.) felt at being precluded from delivering the assas sin into his hands, but that he should instantly order him to be turned out of the place, which was accordingly done, by landing him on the neutral ground, where he would probably fall into the hands of the Spaniards.

At a general meeting of ship-owners, held at the London Tavern, Dec. 1, 1802, to receive the report of the committee of ship-owners, for the Port of London, respecting the duty on the tonnage of ships, and on oil and skins, the produce of the British fisheries, and on other business of great importance to the shipping interest: Mr. Hill in the chair. The chairman stated, that the secretary had transmitted to the out-ports, the rules and regulations of the society, and that the ship-owners at North Shields, &c. &c. had appointed committees to cooperate with the committee for the Port of London; that the committee had received several communications from the ship-owners in London and at the out ports, on many important subjects relative to the shipping interest; that the object of the committee had been the present depressed state of the shipping of the country, and to obtain the repeal of the duty on the tonnage of ships and on oil, &c. the produce of the British fisheries. The most important subjects are the following, yiz. The inconvenience of taking out a licence, and giving a bond to the commissioners of the customs; the claim recently set up by the directors of Ramsgate harbour, for payment of the harbour dues on colliers; the present rates of pilotage from the Downs to Gravesend and from thence to London; the recent disputes between the ship-builders and their workmen; and the real state of the shipping interest at this critical and trying juncture. In addition to the objects before stated, many other matters were submitted to the consideration of the committee, and disposed of, they hoped to the satisfaction of the parties. The committee begged leave most earnestly to recommend a strict adherence to the spirit of the navigation laws, and deprecated any attempt to endeavour to relax those maritime regulations which had so effectually contributed to the greatness and power of the country, at a time when all the maritime nations of the world viewed with jealousy the superiority we had gained by our carrying trade. The resolutions of the general meeting of the 30th of Sept. last were then read. The chairman reported the result oft the second interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and stated that the committee had not been able to convince him of the impolicy of the tonnage duty. It was then resolved, that a petition be presented to the House of Commons; that the committee be requested to adopt such further means for the repeal of the duty as they may think proper; and that they be instructed to take into consideration the present situation of the ship-owners with respect to Mediterranean passes. The whole of the interesting papers on this important subject will be given`in the SUPPLEMENT to this volume. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE. St. James's, Nov. 24, 1802.-This day M.

The intelligence from the United States of America, which comes down to the 5th ult. represents the yellow fever as having subsided; but the ever-burning fever democ racy appears to have raged with redoubled fury. It is well known, that the democratic, or French party, gained the ascendency at the elevation of Mr. Jefferson to the presi-dency. This party is certainly sinking at this time: several exposures have taken place, and have produced great effect on the public mind. Strange and lamentable as is the fact, it is nevertheless perfectly true, that about half a dozen English, Scotch, and Irish democrats, who escaped from the hands of justice in Europe, have, with the aid of so many printing-presses, brought about the their triumph was accomplished, they, of fall of the federal party in America. When course, looked for that reward of patriotism, the LOAVES AND FISHES. The President had one good place (printer to the United States Government) to bestow, for which, unfortu nately for the cause of patriotism, of liberty, and of republican virtue, there were two candidates: one JAMES THOMSON CALLENDER, a Scotchman, who was the author of thePolitical Progress of Britain," and who escaped from the officers of justice, at Edinburgh, about the year 1793; the other, WM. DUANE, an Irishman, who was, for seditious practices, banished from India, by Lord Cornwallis. To these two men Mr. Jefferson certainly owes his seat in the presidential chair; but, he could not make them both printer to the United States, and neither would yield his pretensions. DUANE was the happy man. CALLENDER, to whom the President was most indebted, was enraged beyond measure: the enemies of Jefferson enabled the Scotchman to establish a weekly paper, which he has hitherto devoted almost exclusively to the exposing of his former patron. Amongst other things, he has asserted, and, indeed, we think, positively proved, that Mr. Jefferson paid him 200 dollars for the writing and publishing of works, the principal object of which was, to defame, and to destroy the characters of, Washington and Adams, and that, too, at the very time, that be (Jefferson) was publickly extolling the talents and virtues of the persons so defamed. Another fact, which he has published, is, that Mr. Jefferson keeps a n gro concubine, by whom he has had five children, and whom he has kept, and still keeps, under the same roof with two young ladies, his daughters by a deceased wife! |
