WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. i S .
By an arrival at New. York, Cork pa.
pers as late as the 2zd July are received.
They contain no news.
Notwithstanding the unprecedented vi.
olence of federal calumny and falfehood
which has raged throughout the New
England Hates, republicanism, not only
holds its ground there, but progress with
flow though certain effcCt.
Every friend to liberty and a virtuous
administration will be impressed with ad
miration at the intrepid spirit which ani
mates Rhode Island. She sent to the lall
Congrcfs a republican and a moderate fe.
deraiilt, under the expectation that the
latter would not fuller himfelf to be the
inltrument of party. The soundness of
this policy may be questioned; but it
cannot be questioned that it was an illu.
llrious evidence of a delire to conciliate.
This expectation was disappointed. The
moderate federal!ft was as efficient in op
pofuion to the founded ineafures that have
ever been pursued, as a Item vote could
make him. Nor in the date, did federal,
ism, disappointed in its claim to all, feel
any mitigation of its violence in being
allowed a part. Here, as elsewhere, it
encouraged the grossest detraction, and
strove to excite the most turbulent and
diforganifing passions.—Under these cir
cumstances the republicans did right in
m iking a decided Itand—a Itand, which
by convincing their enemies of their
strength, has itruck dismay through their
ranks. General Stanton, a firm republi
can and a member of the present Congrcfs
is re-elected; and Mr'. K light, also a
firm republican is choien in room of Mr.
Tilimghaft: both by a majority, it is
said ol 1,000 votes. When the fnallnefs
of the date is considered, the Majority
will be seen to be immense.
The public prints furnifh us only with
the majorities. It is very definable that
they Ihould furnilh us also with the re
lative members, that the comparative
strength of each fide may be seen.
Thus much tor the republican state of
Rhode Island. By exchanging a re
publican for a tederal representative, it
has added what is equivalent to two votes
to the large majority in the House of Re
preftnta lives.
Died, at Norristown, Penn, the Rev.
Dr. John Ewing, late Provost of the
Univeriity of Fennfylvania.

Extrait of a letter from Cape Francois ,
Auguji the 16th 1802.
<* The fequeltered plantations have not
yet been returned to their respective own
ers. It is refufed fully to restore them.
General measures are expected to be taken
when the government shall have fuffiaenr
force to command events, viz. When the
whole body of troops which is expected
will be arrived, viz. thirteen thousand
and five hundred men. By the new co
lonial code every prosecution for debts
contracted betore the 23d of September,
1793, of what nature they may be, is
fulpended till the French government will
have pronounced on the refpeCtive recla
mations, otthe planters, and of the French
merchants: till then their in retells are e
qually suspended. The disarming of the
blacks, ordered through all the colony,
has been effected without difficulty in ma
ny places ; but in fotne others, principally
in mountainous parts, it has been the
cause of new infurreCtions, and according
, to their customs the blacks have pillag
ed, burnt, and murdered in such places.
Troops have been sent against them, and
have not been always entirely fuccefsful.
** The negroes taken in arms, instead
of being hanged as heretofore, receive fe
verc whipping and other punilhments,
which terrify them more, and cause them
more readily to surrender. But in feme
places they Hill continue to commit de
predations.”
ALEXANDRIA, Auguji 25.
Richard Basset, late one ot the Judges
of the Circuit Courts ot the U. S. has pub
lilhed a lengthv protest against the aCts ot
Congrcfs pafied at their last session relat
ing to the Judiciary. The following para
graphs are extracted from'his publication :
“ After the most careful deliberation,
and mod anxious solicitude to arrive at
truth, I am bound to declare, that in my
solemn judgment, those aCls of the Bth of
March, and 29th ot April, 1802, have
not abolithed me offices of the judges of
the circuit courts of the United Stares,
Seated and perfected under the aCt ot Fc-
Bna ry, iBot ; but that they do exlft irt
tull torce as at firft, protected against legif.
lati.e dcdruClion, by the conltitution of
the United States,
“ And, in my judicial character, and
under the highed obligation of supporting
that conflitution, I am constrained to pro
nounce these acts, because of their design
and intent to abolish the said offices, and
to transfer them to other judges, so far
null and void.”
Judge Buffett's proted or declaration is
written in a nervous and handsome style :
so very different from his address to the
militia of Delaware in 1798, when go
vernor ot that (late, as to induce a belief
that he who poddies the erudition and
strength ot mind difplaycd in the one,
could never have betrayed the imbecility
ot intellect and puerility of thought evinc
ed in the other. When it is recollected
that Mr. Bayard is the son-in-law of
Judge Bassett, the following quotations
from his speech in congress on the judicia.
ry bill, delivered lad February, may have
some tendency to elucidate the nature of
the objeCl deligned to be effected by the
present publication.
“ If you pass the bill upon your table,
the Judges have a conllitutional right to
declare it void. 1 hope they will have
courage to exercise that right; and if, fir,
I am called upon to take my fide, (land
ing acquitted in my conscience and before
my God, of all motives but the support
of the conditution of my country, 1 (hall
not tremble at the confequcnces. ”
“ The conltitution may have its ene.
mies, but I know that it has also its
friends. I beg gentlemen to pause before
they take this rash Hep. There are many,
very many who believe, if you (trike this
blow, you inflict a mortal wound off the
constitution. There are many now wil
ling to fpili their blood to defend that
conltitution. Are gentlemen difpbfed to
ride the confequcnces ? Sir, I mean no
threats—l have no expectation of appal
ling the (tout hearts of my adversaries j
but if gentlemen are regardless of them
selves, let them confider their wives and
children, their neighbours and their
friends. Will they ri(k civil diffention ;
will they hazard the welfare, will they
jeopardize the peace of the country, to
save a paltry fu n of money, less than
thirty thousand dollars.”
“The Judges will be supported by
their partizans, who in return will ex
peCt impunity for the wrongs and violence
they The spirit of party will
be inflamed to madness; and the moment
is not far off, when this fair country is to
be desolated by civil war.”
“ We are (landing on the brink of that
revolutionary torrent, which deluged in
blood one of the fairell countries of Eu
rope.”
AUGUSTA, OEi. 2.
