this country, which has been
granted him, and he is to leave

manner, without taking leave of
the king.

It is now generally believed,
that lord St. 1 Jedens will proceed
henceforth to France, fully ac
credited to treat for peace, be

March 29.
A meeting of the cabinet mi
nlftcrs was held yellerday on the
lubjed of the communication
which has lately taken place be
tween our government & Frame,
through the medium of Mr.
Otto, on the fubjed: of negoci
ation. We believe our new ru
lers to be aduated with a fincere
and ardent defirc for peace, on
terms confident with the honor
and’ intereds of the nation, and
we are perfuadcd’that the enemy
is not kfs anxious to terminate
a war to the fucceLful profecu
tion of which his means am fo
inadequate ; yet with this im
prcfilon, and a further opinion
that negociation will he ihortly
inflituted, we regard the queftion
of-peace to depend upon the
iifuc of the Northern and Egyp
tian expeditions.
“ Our funds have, during the
week, rifen about two per cent,

and were yederday a fraction
better than on Friday.”

Preferments cf the Grand Jury
tf Newberry DiJlriF , March
Term, 1801.
WE prclent as a fubjed of
an alarming nature to the liber
ties cf a free people, the con
duct of the representatives in
Congrels from this date, w ho,
at the lad eledion of Prcddent
and Vice Prefident, voted for
Aaron Burr, in preference to
Thomas Jeflerfon, as Prefident
of the United States ; becaufe,
in fo doing, they aded inoppo
dtion to the w r eil known fenti
ments and feelings cf an immenfe
majority of their conftitucnts,
who never widied or thought of
Aaron Burr as Piefident, though
numbers cf them widied him
Vice Prefident; becaufe, by thus
acting they evinced the fpirit of
pcrfonal pique or refentmert
againd Thomas Jefferfon, rather
than the exercife of that found
dderation which ought always to
govern men who hold a leg;da
tive office by the dee voice of a
free people ; becaufe, they have
dared to follow the didates of
private motives, incompatible
(to fay no word of them) with
that refped and refponfibility to
the free men whom they repre
fented, and with whom, in com
mon with all the red of the free
men of the United States, the
fovereignty of Ameiica efifenti
ally belong ; and in contempt of
public opinion, the great guar
dian of our conditution and cur
rights.
We give this to the world as
our unequivocal fentiments on
that degrading tranfadion ; and
to (hew that thefe reprefentatives
have aded contrary to cur abso
lute knowledge, againd the o
pinions and wiihes of the people
of tills diftrid. We alfo declare,
that wc hold them not fir, here
after, at any period, or in any
fituation, to fill any office flow
ing from the iuffrages of a free
republican people.
W c rather confider them fit
to (hine in courts, or hold places
in thole countries where defpo
tifm, royalty or aridocracy,
trample on the rights of man.
Wc therefore requedthat thefe
prefentments be pubiifiied in
the State Gazette.

COM MUMICATION.
Public indignation is at length
rouied by the villainy of a gang
cf thieves, whole infamous ad
venturesexceed the depredations
of buccaniers or the pirates of
Barbary. For fcveral nights
pail, a gang denominated—
u Georgia men,” but more
properly infernal .r, have prowl
ed the Bretts of this city, kid
napping every black perfonthey
could lay their hands on. Some
cf them, painted in the fable
garb, almoft as black as their
tartarian hearts, have fnatched
off not only (laves, without the
confent of their owners, but
men, women and children pof
leffed of freedom, by the bounty
of their former mailers, and the
laws of our country, and have
fent them, not to Algiers, but
to a land more prolific of human
mifery. But fo flagrant have
their deeds of cruelty grown, lb
notorious their moll infamous
violations of the laws both of
God and their country, that the
eye of an indignant public is
now fixed upon them. A num
ber of the humane have affoci
ated together to unhoufe a ncß
of villains fo highly difgraceful
to a civilized community, and
the police are determined to be
aftive in aiding their laudable
exertions. One of t-hofe kid
nappers, and for the -honor of
our country no American bleed
flows through his veins, has been
detected and lodged in prifon ;
one cr two, aware cf the fnea
fures chat are taken, have died
the Bate, and in a fhert time,
with proper efforts, the city will
it is hoped, be purged of this
foul plot.
