AMERICAN EXPORTS.
—‘ i
The fum of ninety three I
millions of dollars is the amount !
of the exports of the United
States for -one year enfuing in
September b(l ! No country in
the world, Great-Britain and
the United States excepted,
ever exported produce, goods,
wares, and merchandifes to that
amount.
Before the American revolu
tion, and down to the year 1790,
Great-Britain did not export fo
large :i value to all the world.
It is alfo probable, that the ex
ports of Great-Britain in the
year ending with September,
1801, were little, if any more,
than our exports of 93,000,000
dollars, which are neatly 21,
coo,ooo (Idling. The Eritifh
returns of exports always include
sheir fiupments to their own
dominions, viz. Ireland, Guern
fty, Jerfey, Sark and Man,
their Wefl-Indies and Eafl-In
dies, Honduras, Canada, Nova
Scotia, New Foundland, Hud
fon’s Bay, Bermuda, &c. De
ducing thefe, little more would
remain than our 93,020,513
dollars. Aurora.

PRINCETON COLLEGE BURNT.
Extrafl cf a letter from a fin dent
at Princeton College, to his fa
ther in this city , dated the yth
infiant.
“ It is with infinite regret I in
form you that the feminary of
learning, Princeton College, is
entirely confumcd by fire. The
flames firft caught in the bell
gallery; and in Jefs than five
minutes fpread over the whole
roof. Every exertion was ufed
to flop their progrefs, without
faccefs, owing to the wind be
ing extremely boiflerous; and
m about half an hour the whole
building was reduced to afhes,
together with a great number of
the books belonging to the
College, the American Whig
Society, and the Cliofophic So
ciety, And what makes the
matter appear more diflrefling,
is the conjecture of io being a
'wilful adt though no proofs have
yet been brought forward.”
By th’e different arrivals yes
terday from St. Domingo, we
learn that the fituation of affairs
; n that Illand are improving.
Touflaint had fled to the moun
tains, with but a thoufand or
two of followers. It was the
general opinion that he would
foon be taken, as the mofl a&ive !
cxrrtions were making to nut
an end to his oppofltior.
As has been already flated, it
is now confirmed, that the whole
of the fouth has fubmitted with
out any reluctance and general
La Plume, who commanded
there, fb far from obeying
Touflaint’s orders, had dedar-
Cci in favor of the mother ooun-(
ti\, and was, when our infor
mants left it, in purfuit of the
fugitives in the mountains, and
being well acquainted with the
country, it was not doubted but
mat tac 111 md would be loon re
stored to peace and order.

Judge V/ Alton’s CHARGE!
to the Grand Jury of Jefter- /
Son County.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury ,
CONSIDERING that the
policy of our government, has
aligned to you the appellate and
equitable jurisdiction in civil
cafes, in addition to the ancient
and ineftimable privilege of cri
minal inquifition: being alfo in
formed, that the Kallender or the
latter ground, is Small in compa
nion with the weight of bufmefs
appaient on the doequets; and
being deftrous of removing the
idea that it is neither expected
or eftential to enter on bufmefs
the firft day of the term —I fay,
for thefe reafons, 1 yefterday
defpenfed with the ufual practice
of addrt fling you upon the firft 1
opemng of the Court; and of !
your being impannelled and
fworn, in order to proceed
in calling the doequets; and I
have the pleafure to add, that,
although Some little impedi
ments occurred, a refpeftable
portion cf bufmefs was got I
through. It will, therefore, be j
hence forward underftood by all, i
and particularly by parties and i
their council, that bufmefs will
commence with the term. It |
is, that 1 might explain myfelf
on this ground, and to make i
the declaration I have juft done j
as well as from the refpeft due
from the bench to grand juries,
which are fuch material mem
bers of the Superior Courts,
that I have thought itnccdLry to 1
addrefs you at ail at prefenr. In
the habit of difcharging fimilar i 1
duties with thefe you are now <
called upon to attend to, you
want, not to be mflrufled how '
to aft. From the practice of
the facial virtues public integri- <
ty naturally refuks; and the
part you are to take on the pre- '
lent oecafion will be tempered
with jufticc, and governed by
firmnefs.
I cannot conclude this Short
addrcfsjWithcut felicitating you,
and my fellow citizens at large,
on the pre Sent happy and tran
quil ft ate of our internal admi
niftration. We fee a citizen
placed in chair cf ftate, being ;
of no party, and of courfc j
neither exciting or attaching
envv or enmity; and oefore
v.hofe mild and juft adminiftra-
t*on the voice of fa&lon reafes j
to be heard—fuch is the reality
of a free government.
LouifviUcy March 9, iS 01.
The Grand Jury returned the
following Prefentments.
E> the Grand Inquefl for
the body of the County of Jef
ferlon, on our oaths prefent,
ifl. \\ eprefentasagreatgriev
ance that the Roads and Bridg
es throughout this County are
not kept in better repair, chev
are generally fo narrow and ex
tremely bad they are almolt im
partible for waggons loaded with
Cotton rhe (laple commodity of j
tliis country, and recommend it I
to the proper authority to take
notice thereof.
2d. We particularly prefect
it a ; a grievance, that the bridge
acrofs the Ogechce River,
known as Page’s Bridge, and
| kept a* a toil bridge, is net
kept in diffident repair for the
laic paflage of travellers.
3d. Wc prefent William
M‘Gehec and Catherine Wal
lace, for living m adultery.
4th. Wc prefent John Cole
man and Mary Ford, far living
in adultery.
sth. We prefent as a griev
ance, the unlawful practice of
hunting in the night with fire
light, by which much damage
has been done in this County,
by fetting fire to the woods and
communicating it to the fences
of the plantations, and dcflroy
ing them, and recommend it to
the Jufticesof the difft rentdif
tnds to be vigilant in d.Cover
ing offenders of this kind ; and
aifo recommend a more find
attention to the patrole law,
which has been hitherto much
negleded.
6th. We prefent Thomas
Gibfon, for unlawfully letting
fire to the woods, from which
fcveral individuals have leccived
fome damage.
7th. We prefent it as a griev
ance, that the Jaw prohibiting
profane fweanng is not better
executed.
Learning that the Bate of
South-Car hna, has pm chafed
Me firs. Milicr & Whitney’s
patent right of their Cotton
Machines, and thus free’d its
citizens from expenfive and li
tigious fuits, as well as a bur
then fome tax exacted from them
by the patentees, we conceive
that confiderable advantages
would relult to the citizens of
this Bate from a fimilar pur
chafe, arid therefore recommend
it to the Legifluture as an object
worthy their attention, but are
opinion that they ought not
exceed the fum of twenty five
thoufand dollars, as the quantity
of cotton raifed in this Bate, is
far lefs than that of our lifter
Bate.
Wc thank his Honor the
Judge for his alliduity to the
duties of his office, and his
polite charge, and join with 1
him in exprefimg our approba
tion of the prefent Chief Ma
gißrate being charged with the
adminißration of cur govern
ment, without detrading from
the merit of his predeceflbrs j
and recommend that cur pre
fantm.entSj together with ths
N
! Judge's Charge, bo publifncd\
