BERG AMI'S MEMOIRS.
At Jerusalem, Bergami went rcgu
larly to pray upon the tomb of our Sa
viour, and paid daily pious visits to the
patriarchs of the holy scpulchrc, j
which procured lor him the decoration i
of the order of a knight of Jerusalem. J
A fsw days afterwards the princess in- ?
stituied the order of St. Caroline ol Je- '
rusalem, of which Bvigami was out of i
the first knights.
In Asia, as in Europe, on land and on !
sea, Bergami and his sister never quit
ted the piincess, and incessantly watched
to drive away the spies and the traitors
by * hom slie was constantly surrounded.
I?ergami thus accounts for his assi
duities and his familiarities with the ?
quren of England: ?
44 ller cause will assuredly triumph,"
exclaims her chamberlain; " but if this
triumph remained for a single moment
douhttul, 1 would rend this veil which,
from motives easily appreciated, I have
thought it proper to throw over certain
facts, and over persons who have played
a prominent part in this singular farce!"

DEATH OF CIIRISTOPHE.

C;>pt. Mason, fioin Port au Prince,;
arrived at New -York, informs, that the
n. ptror Christophe died on the 5th
July last, and that the circumstance had
been kept secret till this time by his
family, with a view it was said, of pla
cing his son on the thione. A revolt,
however, had taken place among the
troop--, and the secret was let out. A |
bo.l) of 60 JO t:oops at St. Marks l ad j
sent a d-puuuon to Port au Piince, i
asking protection ol the president Boyer,
who was astonished at the intelligence, ;
and would not believe it till l?e had sent 1
one ot his aids to ascertain the fact. The !
officer h. turned with a full confirmation ;
ol tilt news, and Bjyer immediately sei i
off, put himself at the head of the re- ?

(ieneral Morillo had arrived at
Caracas for the purpose of obtaining
a supply of men and money, in con
formity with certain articles of the
constitution, which prescribe that (
every citizen is bound to take arms |
in defence of the country when his ,
services are required; and further, to 1
contribute to its support in a pccunia- i
rv way, as far as may be consistent J
with bis means. Three thousand men i
and 100.000 dollars have been gran- 1
ted to the general to carry on the I
war, and it is said that lie is to re- ;
ceive a monthly supply of 100,000
dollars, from the Island of Cuba.
We are informed that three ships,

pected to arrive at LaGtiira, without

Should this information be correct, <
it forbodes no good to the Colonies, (
but on the contrary, will prove a

A report has reached this island,
for the correctness of which we do

In (ireat Britain, there is no sen

case of the queen. The newspa|>ers

out doubt, of exaggeration in their
accounts of the character and the
number of the addresses presented to
her. Iler political friends arc indefa
tigable in getting them up: that of the

chant ships lying in the Thames, ac
companied by a procession of five

of serious import, if the object was to
produce an excitement in her favour

ever, anticipate difficulty for the go

The conduct of itiego is not perfect

whether his vit-ws were selfish or pa
triotic. His final submission and that
of the other chiefs of the army of

tively stated. Certainly , iliey could
have no good grounds for suspecting

CONVENTION.
Our endeavours to bring on a fair
discussion of tins subject have been in
vain. So long as our opponents are at
liberty to soar on the wings of distem
pered fancy, and to point the fears of
the (>ecple 'o iiaiudc s evils which will
never exist but in their feverish imagi
nations, they will continue to hedge
themselves about with doubts and feais,
and with the d'gmrracy of the present
age i nde tvoui to rear an impregnable
rampa't for theit d fence; their over
flowing goodness prompting them, like
the editor ol the lialilax Con. piler, cha
ritably to '? caution us against a icpre
henstb.c pei sistance in our dangerous
enterprise." liut when brought to the
particuia: points on which the merits ol
tne question depend, when required to
point out tne dangers, and give names
to the e\iis, which so closely beset our
path^thcy a4 or.ee sho* the fiitn*y tex
lure <5f tlu ir leasoning, and their silence
exp s< s the sandy foundation on which
is reared the superstructure* of all their
opposition.
On M n day next the legislature of
this siate wiu curium n e its session, and
among the subjects to which its atten
tion will be direi ti d, this one, the pro
position for a convention, will prr bably
excite toe warmest interest. Unable to
defend the grounds ti.ey have taken,
our opponents look to thr legislature as
the strong bold in which repose a',1 their
hopes; as /the bulwark, behind which
they can remain secure occupants ol the
ii. any suSeri-jr advantages winch the
constitution now affords them. The
casternsqouniies in their representation
outnumbering the western, they assume
a tone of confidence, am! congra ulate
t h? mselvcs on the sore disap|>oin' merit
w hicli we4* are destined to meet with at
the approaching session." But we do
not yet despair. I hough thfv have giv.
en us such distressing accounts of the
depravity, and such frightful pictures
of tne degeneracy of the s..m of the
brave founders of our pnvilegrs; yet*
our I'.ve ol counwy will constrain us to
bi lie\cf that in the councils of our state
appeals to justice will be attentively
nearri; tliat a patriotic desire to promote
the most valuable interrsts of the state
will predominate over srlfi,h ronsidera
tions; that a conscientious discharge of
duty will induce them to give ellicac y
to that important provision in the bill of
rights appended to our to much vene
rated constitution, whi? h c njt ins a 41 fre
quent recurrem e to fundamental prin
ciples; ' and that 14 the voice of the pro
pie will be heard in a government of the
people." Hut should we he disappoint

shall not consider our cause ashopeles^j

continue to contribute our mite towards
awakening in the minds of the people
such a regard for the principles of the

THE CONTRAST.
?OR Y EN TlO.N^pr* A 88 AC U U 8 RTTS.
" Tills e^vfmion will be one of I he abl*,t
bodies that ever existed. The selection of
candidates have bern made with reference to
their rliaracter and Ulents, and apparently
witlioul discrimination of party."
Thus says the National Intelligenccr,
speaking of tl?c delegates lately chosrn
in Massachusetts to revise the constku
tion of that state. From this it would
appear, that increasing knowledge and
virtue in the people have led them to
such a choicc of representatives as re
flect* high honour ou the state, It
gratifying to the heart of an American
thus to observe the gmwth of virtu?
and the increase of knowledge, ntani
fcited in this result of an election in
Massachusetts; and still farther is he
gratified in surveying the progress of
improvement in oilier slates, and ?|.R
advancement of liberty by mclioiaiin*
their constitutions.
Hot while our heart* are cheered bv
thus contemplating the increasing hap
piltess and prosperity of other sta'c*, we
are presented with an appalling picture
of the depravity of our own. While tbe
character of the conventions of other
states makes us proi.d that we ar?: Ame
ricans, wc hear thr humiliating sound
t'at in /Am slate a convention would be
a " dv generate and grasping conclave."
While Massachusetts presents us with
an assemblage of " one of the ablest
bodies that ever existed," the editor
of the Halifax Compiler has ventured to
predict the following as the huiniliaung
result ol an election for ihe
r .
C'OXVE.NTIoJl OF NOUTH-CAHOLI.'VA:
" We c<?ncl??de, that if all those sages who
achieved and bequeathed to us our libr-Ttwt,
could become candidates for a test in the
convention, they would stand hat * poor
fh.intr with the eUctionerrcn of 'our present
day for any station of honnUr, eve* werr they
to descend to the artifices of their competi

Na/i/ax Cmpilrr, Oct. 6.
And is this the humilia'ing conditioo
of the people of North-Carolina? Have
they fallen thus for below the high
s anding of their fathers? Docs igno
rance and vice bear such an unlimited
sway, that the revision of their constitu
tion would be the destruction of their
liberties? Surely the pride of the free
rn-jn of North-Carolina will not suffer
them to make the humiliating uqknovt
ledgment, that they of all the states in
the union, are alone incapable ol self
government; that like children, they
should have guardians to direct their
choice, and protect th m from imposi
| tion. \\ e cannot believe that even those
who advance the argument would in
their hearts subscribe to the conclusions.

Although 1 have waited some tim;
for a reply to the remarks of a forimr ?
piere, and have waited in vain, yet I
rannot f??i!?ear an acknowledgement that
my expectations are realized. I felt an
assurance, from reasonable grounds,
tha* there scaicrly could b^ found one
so hardy as to attempt the open defence
of conduct so contrary to the public in
terest. I would not enter thus unhesita
tingly upon the subject, did 1 not think
it one most proper for free discussion:
the liberty of the pre?-s, if not allowed
extensive latitude on subjects of a pub
lic nature, would be of little value; and
they who think it no restraint on bad
men, ami no impediment to bad mea
sures are greatly mistaken.
