Lad evening arrived at this port the
i hrig Hope, captain Lee, in 13 days from
Cape-Francois,. after being detained there
upwards of two months.—Captain L.ce
informs us, that two days previous to his
leaving Cape-Francois an interview took
place at Haut-de-Cape (a village at the
diltance of about three miles lrom the
Capt) between the commander in Chief,
Le Cleic, and general Chriftc-phe; but
that the relult of the conference had not
been officially made knoum. The mod
pleafingconelufions were, however, drawn
on the fubje.it ; and there exided hardly
a doubt but that Chrilfophe had negociat
ed terms for himfeif and his army, as he
was to be in the Cape on the day the Hope
failed, and preparations were making to
receive and entertain him, in a manner
Antable to his rank, by the general of
the northern division Hardy, with whom
Chridophe was that day to dine.
Various speculations were abroad as to
the probability of Touflaint’s being a
party to the arrangements of Chridophe.
Those bed acquainted with the character
of the latter, were firmly of opinion, that
he would not conclude any agreement to
which his chief was not a party ; and
this opinion was. strengthened by the pub
licity and form of the audience at Haut-.
de-Cape. Chridophe refufed to come
within the French lines, until a white
officer cf equal rank was font as a hodage;
the meeting was unlike that of a traitor,
dealing an opportunity to betray his trufl.
These circumflances have ditFufed a
general joy arnongd the inhabitants of
Cape-Town, who begin to look forward
to the time when their troubles will be
terminated.
Captain Rogers t?nd capt. Davidson re
mained in dole confinement in a dungeon,
i on the common jail allowance.
We learn that the following are the
principal quell ions to be decided on by the
Judges at their Convention next week :
Whether a grant for lands in one coun
ty, can be given in evidence upon a trial,
in any other county than that in which
the lands lay at the time when the grant
was obtained ?
Whether one who holds lands under a
Sheri. F's deed, mud deduce title up to the
defendant in execution, to complete his
right ?
What requisites arc neceflary to support
a title under a Tax Cciicflor's deed ?
Whether matters in bar of an action,
which were overruled in an inferior court,
can be infilled on in the superior court,
when the cause is brought up by appeal ;
or whether Inch matters can support an in
junct icn ?
Whether soldier’s bounties or citizen’s
head rights (hall prevail in the titles ob
tained tor the reserve lands ?
Whether contending citizens, uncer
adverse grants, can reciprocally impeach
the validity of such grants upon the
ground of fraud ?
Whether dormant judgments bind pro
perty to the prejudice of bona fide purcha
iers ?
Whether a deed from the commiflioners
of confifcarcd property inveil the purcha
ser with a good title where the traitor had
no right, or only an inchoate right ?
Mr. Smith •will oblige the Subfcnber by
giving the f ollowing publicity':
IN ccnfequence of improper expreflions
used by Peter L. Van Alen, Esquire, in
the honorable Superior Court of Wilkes
county, on Tuefday the 1 ith inll. in the
■ invettigation of certain charges exhibited
against Mr. George Cook ; diaries Tait,
Esq. called upon him, for that fadsHcti
-0:1 which is due to the injured feelings oi
a man of honor. This demand was hand
ed to capt. Van Alen by myfelf. The
captain laid he (hould take time to an
swer it as he thought proper. On the
day following I waited on captain Van
Alen fora definite answer. Fie teas then
‘ in fFe company 01 John M. Door,, E.q.
He informed me that he hud no further
answer to make than what he had airea
-1 dy given. 1 replied that no answer had
been given to me. He laid John Ai.
j Dooly, Esq. was in p-diefion of his an
ivver, and would communicate it to me,
i and left the room. Mr. Dooly then pre
\ daced a let-er directed to Chatles lair,
I Esq. I told him that this letter being
! directed to another person, could not
J fie received by ire. He irdormcvi tr.e Tat
| this letter was epe", and he was autho-
rifed to deliver It to me, or words to that
effect. In this letter capr. Van Alen ab
folurely refufed to make reparation for
injury he had done. I afterwards,
the fame evening, called upon Mr. Doo
ly, and demanded ot' him whether he con
fidercd himfelf the friend orfecond of Van
Alen. He informed me that he did not,
and that he did not feci himfelf rtfponfi
ble for arty of Van Alen’s conduct, or words
to that import. In the inveltigationof the
charges abovealluded to, capt. Van Alen in
timated that threats had been thrown out
to intimidate Mr. Cook’s counfcl, but said
that norhingfhouldprevent his doing what
he thought his duty on that occafiun, and
that if Mr. Tait (hould feel himfelf in
jured, with either Mr. Cook or his coun
fcl, he should be accommodated in any
way he thought proper, or words ofTTHT" -
import. I was informed that capt. Van
Alen, on the lame evening after the re
ception of the demand, applied to a gen
tleman in Walhington to procure a case
of piltols, powder, &c. and informed him
that he h.«d received a challenge from Mr.
Tait, and mult be prepared for the event.
In jultice to Mr. Tait’s feelings, I
have thought it my duty to give the lore
going llaiement publicity, and leave the
community to judge of the motives which
retrained capt. Van Alen from making
that reparation, which, if a Gentleman,
he was bound to render.

Mr. Smith,
A VOLCANO, in the highest degree
of rage and eruption, never difeharged a
imre copious flow of lava, than, some,
of the Merchant's Clerks have feurrility
againll me ; especially one who signs him
felf te A Clerk or Storekeeper.” This
piece is a compleat rhapsody ; replete with
abusive epithets and barbarifins—and his
Itylc, if Inch it can be called, I have no
language to pourtray —figure to yourfelf
the jargon of one of the word speakers,
and you have ir. I do not know the
author (nor would it avail him any thing
to know tne) no crime, therefore can at
tach to him : But a temper, furious like
his, would almost create suspicion, al
though his innocence were as pellucid as
the mod transparent stream. The impe
tus of a fiery temper, ought to be con-,
troled : ’tis always dangerous—seldom
fails to offend, and sometimes tends to de
ception. The traitor, Sempronius, elu
cidates this ; when he opposed his opini
on, against that of the calm and virtuous
Lucius, he veiled himfelf under the malk
of paflion, and bellowed out, in thefc
words, “ Gids! can a Roman Senate
long debate , which of the taut to choo/e,
jla'very or death ?” So, truth being made
known, and my fiery developed, guilt (as
well as wounded honor) will, sometimes,
make a man put on the appearance of an
ger, to conceal from the world, his
ihaine : but this, on the present occasion,
I do not aflert, nor with to believe ; en
thusiasm might have originated in a con
ference, free from felt-reproach ; and te
nacious of the belt feelings, could nor
brook the lead innuendo. Such is honor
--and such, 1 trail, was the primordial
cause of A Clerk or Storekeeper, for mak
ing such a furious attack on me.
My meaning has been tortured and
perverted, ro implicate all the clerks in
the charge I exhibited !—But this 1 deny.
It is true I mentioned 1 tiiopkeepers, clerks
or storekeepers two would have been
in the plural—bur not in. thAgggregare :
50 I might fay, the clerssf'A nd not in
clude all: charity forbid* ftith illiberal 1-
ty : and I hope, for the benefit of socie
ty, and dignity of the human character,
that there are many reputable characters
among them—even those who have wrote
with Co muchfpleen and viruierice against
me.
I shall not diferiminate persons—it
would ruin lome, by fixing a itigma on
them—give pain to their relatives and
rriends, and make ihcm miferabie ; On
that account, I p irpoieiy avoid it; hop
ing, at the iaine rime, a reformation.
i shall write no in -rc on the present
subject—and no kn -wing A Clerk or
Storekeeper , as I have prevtoufly laid, I
have made the neir paun.de I can. Bar
v. hun vice prevailed, a. d virtue proiirat
td herfelt, I thought it rigti: that fomc
should tend a helping hand ro raise her:
—Th s was my motive —and this, I truit,
will be an apology to all who know then
own integrity . 1 a.n, Sir,
