when the fottn Was., cleared, and c \'?ry
preparation made to receive the division
destined for Point Pet re. The day fol
lowing four frigates, a cutter and four
tranlports, entered the harbour and came
to anchor. General Pelage prepared to
receive gen. Richepanfe with military pa
rade, and on his landing delivered up
polTeilion of the place without any distur

d'he leconl in command, a mulatto, and
the commandant La Place, in the mean
while, -re:r.e ited with some troops to Saf

non and final! arms from the fort, which

the failing of the Heflor, no veflels be
ing permitted to enter. General Pelage
was sent on board one of the frigates on
the second day after their arrival.

ed to that of Point Petre ; and that, as
it refpefted American and neutral veflels,
notice had been given that the conduct of

PHILADELPHIA, June 4.
Ex trail of a letter from Lexington, Ken
tucky, dated May 13, 1802.
(( r \ he Louisiana country being in the
hands of the French, will, I think, make
a favorable ciiange in our trade to New-
Orleans. The nonsense of their coming
to claim the country as far as Pittfbnrg, is
too ridiculous to he ferloufly thought of.
The people of this country are as good
soldiers for the country they peflefs as the
oldest veterans in Buonaparte’s army ; and
however we may have preferred the poli
tics of France to the politics of England,
we never shall submit to the force or in
trigues of cither.”

PETERSBURG, June it.
By several letters from Cape Francois,
we learn, that a contagious disease, very
mortal in its eifeffs, prevailed there;
that it had proved very fatal among the
crews of -American veflels laying there,
as also among the French troops. Un
der these alarming and diftrefling circum-
Itances, it is peculiarly incumbent on the 4
guardians of our sea-ports to pay a rigid
and. scrupulous attention to veflels arriv
ing from St. Domingo.
HALIFAX, May 31.
Wc are informed that a suit has been
brought by George William, Earl of Co
ventry, and others, as the devifees or
representatives of the late Earl of Gran
ville, against General Davie, for five
thousand acres of land in 'Tyrrell county.
This suit is returnable to the June 'Term,
of the circuit court of the United Stares,
for the diftricl of Norch-Carolina, and
is brought, as appears by a letter from the
plaintiff’s counfcl, with a view to try their
title to the lands within thcGranvilleclaim.
The service of the declaration was ac
companied by the above letter mentioning
that “ the suit was nor brought by the a
gent of the heirs and devifees of Earl
Granville, with the intention to place the
defendant in a worse situation than others
claiming under the state, or todifturb his
poilellion, flioukl they befuccefsful, until
attempts to compromise with the state
fhoulj fail, but with a view only to bring
the title of the claimants to a fair trial.
“ That it was the wish of the agent
that the suit ihould be so conduced, as
to obtain an impartial deoifion on the me
rits, with as little expence and as speedily
as po liblc.”
The origin and extent of the claim of
the late Earl Granville, are well known
to the citizens of the state—how far this
claim may have been affeefed by the revo
lution of '76, and the confequcnt adls of
our government, the Editor does not pre.
tend to judge ; but as the plaintiffs claim
tide either byway of fee Ample, or quit
rent, to nearly two thirds of the state,
the right of recovery becomes a question
of great importance, from the imrnenfe
property dependent upon it. The state
being in fail the real defendant, we sup
pose the persons against whom (bits may
be brought, will lay the hufmefs before
the Governor, that his Excellency, or
the Legislature, may take such meafores as
may be ueceflary for the intereftof the state.
