1- To dispense* during the elections
with the services of all those be l onging
to the national guird, who may be called
upon to vote as electors, in order that
nothing may prevent them From fulfilling
their important duties.
2. To require of such electors as may
belong to the national guard, not to appear
in uniform nor even with arms, in an as
sembly where they go to exercise their
rights as citizens.
3. Lastly, specially to confide to the
national guard the service of honour, and
of external police of the electoral col
leges,

As early as eight on Saturday morn
ing, the halls ol the respective sections
were crowded with electors. AH the pop
ular candidates were named on Saturday
to fill the functions of secretaries or scru
tators of the different sections, M. Thi
ard and M. Lafayette excepted, these
gentlemen not being electors of the de
partment of the Seine, a quality indis
pensable for their appointment to the el-,
ectoral officei.
I annex the list of the leading candi
dates, subjoining the name of each under
the political classification to which the
public opinion annexes him:
The return of Lafayette would be
deeply regretted, for in fact lie can be of
no real service to the party, possessing
neither oratorical talents nor distinguish
ed abilities; therefore, the choice of this
veteran of the king and the royal family,
could answer no purpose, save the grati
fication of an amour prepre of the very
worst description. *

that the centre of tile royalist opinion is
the opinion of the king, who recom
mends that moderation of which he Jias
given the example, and the propagation
of that spirit ip which the charter, l.is

The subject of the elections is so seri
ous that one scarcely sees a smile or
hears a calembourgh From any man one

The Henau Gazette, contains the fol
lowing: “the tumult which took place at
Breslan, according to an eye-witness,
who has passed through this town, must
have been much more serious than tjiV
gazette* of Breslaw states. He says, that
e assisted in dressing the wounded, and
he assures that cannon were discharged
under the windows, that indeed they had
only tired blank cartridges in order, to
terrify the multitude, but that the fire of
the musketry did more mischief, as it
wounded 260 persons and killed about
20. Time will shew Sis whether the as
sertions of the traveller are conformable
to truth.
FROM SAINT DOMINGO.
The following letter is copied from the
Philadelphia True American, in which
paper it is spoken of as being semi
official. V. .. . .A
Extract of a letter from an officer
of rank , dated
Port au prince, June 25, 1817.
“ You have doubtless heard of thea
lat njing events which have recently ta
ken place here, filling every breast with
consternation,and every heart with fear.
The events to which I allude, while they
overwhelm us with affliction ibr the pre
sent, furnish a lesson for the future,
which will not, I trust, be altogether lost
upon those who direct the helm of affairs.
Fortunately for you the sagacions pru
dence of your government preserves you
from such catastrophies—and relieves
you. peaceful citizens even from the ap
prehension of danger by keeping its cau
ses aloof.
We, on the contrary, with an infatua
ted credulity, admit the enemy into our
hogom,and foster the very vipers which
meditate our ruin. That tlie events of
the 20th are the result 6f French perfi
dy is what few, who are at all versed in
the calamitous history of this ill-starred
country, can doubt—they are worthy of
the nation that doomed La Mahotiere to
death, and violated, in the person of the
mild, the virtuous and unsuspecting
Toussaint Louvferture, the faith of trea
ties and the rights of humanity.* But t 6
proceed to facts.
i The evening of the 20tji was rendered
conspicuous among the calamitous peri
ods ot this dll-starred town, by an explo
sion the most tremendous and the most
disastrous ever witnessed here. The
largest of opr powder magazines, con
structed by the British, has been blown
into the air with upwards of 100,000
pounds weight of powder. The sound
of this tremendous explosion yet rings in
rny ears, notwithstanding tlie time that
has elapsed since it took place. The da
mage done has been great and depforablc
and the loss of life and limbs melancholy
in the extreme, hardly a single house
has escaped uninjured more or less. At
first ft was supposed to have been the
result of lightning, but an examination of
the other magazine, which immediately
took place, proved it to be the result of
design, and probably counected with
some deep laid plot against our liber
ties, which time may enable us to dcvel-’
ope. What prevented the explosion of
the other magazine we know not, since
every thing W'as found prepared—the
doors unlocked, trains laid, and match
alone wanting.
Fort Bizoten has shared the fate of the
larger magazine, through the treachery
of its commandant; who, after a vain
endeavor to entice Petion, Boyer and
Ingcrac into it, upon the pretence of a
survey, finding his design suspected,
blew up the fort with Ins own hands, and
thus vainly endeavoured to bury tlie
proofs of his treachery beneath the
shattered ruins—but though his hated
body has escaped the just vengeance of
the insulted laws, his memory will be
handed down to postesity, loaded with
the cui'ses of his fellow-citizens, and
gibetted for a terror to future traitors.
With you I am confident but one o
pinion can prevail as to tlie real source
of tlieae calamitous events; the finger of
French intrigue is too plainly legible;
and the machinations of a Gallic cabinet
actidg under the avowed influence of
our implacable foes, the ex-colonists, are
graven in characters too strong to be
mistaken, upon the shattered relics of
two of our most important fortresses.
“Where will the folly and imbecility
of ou r government end? When w ill the
happiness and tranquility of our citizens
be no more left at the mercy of the mul
titude of intrigueing Frenchmen who in
cessantly parade our streets, pry into
oui* afiairs, and intermeddle in our po
litics? *
“ When will the white flag cease to
insult ns in our harbors, and fill the bo
soms of the’ patriots with ceaseless a
iarras? Happy, thrice happy your fortu
nate district, .where none of these cau
ses of alarm prevail, but where a truly
paternal government interposes its pro
tecting arm, and blesses you with unin
terrupted repose.
“ When shall I behold the happy con
summation of all ray hopes, in the firm
and constituted onion of all Haytians
under one chief, great, powerful and il
lustrious.
« But my friend who waits to take
this letter, is impatient; and by becom
ing needlessly prolix, I may endanger
not merely the safety of my despatch,
but of my life, such is the state of terror
and suspicion in which we live. Auieu.
Salute all ray friends/’

the following extract from a 'Report ,/

Several European articles of late date
both politically and commercially inter*
esting, will be found in our columns o
to day.
The following is said to be an effectual
remedy for the Hydrophobia, nr bite of a
mad dog. It was discovered in Gcrma
ny, -where it has been used with invari
ble s'uccess. The article is
from the London Morning Chronicle,
and is introduced in a manper that gives
to it more than an air of Credibility.
“ A valuable remedy against the
bite of,adog.—-When a dog, oi other ag.
imal is bitten by a mad dog, let the fol
lowing be given him as soon as possible;
brass filings, one drachm, with w hite bean
mea! (calav anceries) in milk, or milk
broath, well stirred together, 'jfhe
beans arc to be burnt brown like coffee,
and ground in a coffee-mill, or if finely
bruised will do.
This remedy requires no repetition,
as experience has taught that it was al
ways found to be sufficient security, as
■ a preventive, as none that were bitten,
ever went mad after its use; a second
portion therefore; was never required.
: It shall also be as beneficial to mankind,
by only giving the above mentioned
' quantity.”
The far-fetched and distorted analo
t gies of the Savannah Republican are still
persisted in with pertinacious obstinacy.
' Among other precedents (as the Editors
call them) to justify the United States in
taking part with the revolted provinces
i of Ferdinand, they noticed the conduct
of the three Cantons of Switzerland, in
the others to throw off the Aus
trian yoker” Before this can be estab
lished as a precedent to regulate the
conduct of our government in the contest
alluded to, we humbly conceive it be 1 -
. comes necessary, fust to prove the.
following positions, (as our logic teaches
us that the premises are antecedent to
the conclusion, and not vice versa) —That
the character and customs of the Noith
Americans are similar to those of the
South—-that the polity of their respective
governments have created such a reci
procity of feeling between them, that a 1 :
injury done the poorest citizen or su t
ject of either country, is considered by
the other as an “ insult upon its consti
tution'”.
This fraternity of feeling, springing
from these native causes, existed among
the people of Switzerland, and natuially
inspired a sympathetic influence in their
conduct to each other, which cannot
possibly exist where such congeniality
of character, genius and sentiment is
wanting. It is true, indeed, that there
was a Shade of difference in the systems
of government obseVvcd by the Cantons
—but not much more, comparatively
•peaking, than exists, or did
practice, between Massachusetts, dfc*
and the more democratic States of our
Union.. <
As regards the conduct of Francs, du
ring our memorab'c revolution, what rea
sonable and reflecting mind can beheye
that Louis w-as'actuated by the pure spi
rit of philanthropy. It was a deside
ratum in the polity of France, to crij»p* e
as much as possible the naval and com
mercial supremacy of her powerful rival.
And what a golden .opportunity present
ed itself in assisting ua to sever the d‘ al!l
of colonial bondage.
We have already noticed in a proper
manner the legitimate policy which mo
Republican would have our governmen
pursue—it requires no farther e° ns: '
deration from us. In fine, we ardently
hope, that such a paucity of governmen
tal resources may never beiclt as w>i
excite the Quixotic and ruinous pohey
of going from home in quest of distress
ed damsels, while our rights continue ; *
be respected abroad. A chivalrous
