BRISTOL,
Tutfdy, Sep'ember 24, ’99.
A tranfaftion has taken
in the neigh bout hood of this
town, within a few days lh»t
calls for the earned attention of
the public. If the military is
to be made fuperior to the civil
authority, the ceremony of re
pealing the cpnftitutipn outrht
at lead to precede the deplorable
change; while the conftuution
remains it fhould at lead be rel
pt&ed by thofe who are faid to
be paid under its authority, and
for the odenfible purpofe of
fupponing it.
A peifon of the name of John
Train, employed as a labouiing
m n bv Mr. Lazallictc of this
j
town, on T hurfday night lad,
{1 lea watch from his employer
tmd feveral o her a tides, with
irhLh he fl.d to the Gamp rear
this town, and there enlided.
The thief was traced to that
place, information was laid
befo ea magillrate and a warrant
iifued for his apprehenfjon. A
civil officer was difpatched with
| an affidant a perfon to identify
The thief to the civil officer ; he
was found in the camp and the
I watch upon him. The civil
O'ficer thought it a matter of
j propriety to inform the officer
in whofe company the culprii
had enlilled that he had arreded
the mm. The authority was
demanded and the warrant pro
duced. 1 he warrant was con
demned w th expreffions that
we do not think proper to repeat.

Whether the diifo’ution of
the meeting at London, of the

rican claims, dated in the public
ptints, has taken piace we can

of its men: ; for certainty n i
| ther in the woild above, nor in
the enroll beneath, nor in the
waters under the earth, was
1 luch another negociation ever
' n
heard of. In this very outfet,
Mr. Jay went cver head and
ears in infatuation or fomething
woTe. He broke his infl uclicns .
The thing which he b ought
home, and for winch he got
thirty feven thoufand good ho

j we lay h no more refcmblancc
to his inftmbfions, than Mr. No

Mr. Waffiington was fo con

jwiher of this a tide gave them
to the worH, along with I lam 1*
ion’s reitifictte jobbing corr I
pondence, in this hidorv of die'
1796. 1 he authenticity;
of that publication has never j
been conceded bv any paity,
and it throws a blaze o lipriu
upon the genuine cfutadlcr ol
Mr. Jay.

i V\ hen cur ambafTador went
! to England, the french were ini
the mid ft of the dieadlul cam-1
paign of 1794. Before the
treaty had been figned by Jay, j
the republicans were on the
point of conquering Pollard.
If he had waned only for three
• jonfhs longer, the confternaiion j
p in England by the s
reduction of the Dutch wciddi
have e. fured any term* that lie j
could aflc.
By the way Mr. Jay’s intima
tions forbade him to hgn any
treaty, good, bad , or indijfe'tht.
He was only to fend it home,
lor con fide ration here.
In 1 he hiflory of 1796, we
foretold the veiy thing that h*s
happened, viz. that the brinfh

without intermiffion for more
