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.” WASHINGTON CITY, June 2.

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.

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.
