May 6._____________________:___ Servanton boardthfe Ame- rican ship Monk, It appears to us that the statements in the abovementioned newspaper are by the affida- vits proved to be an exaggerated falsehood, as no desk of the master's or any other per- sonjwas eitherseen broken open or searched, and so far from the Bermuda having imme- diately made all sail upon the return of eapt. Allen to the Monk, that more than half ah hour had elapsed, by the boat returning with two men that had been carried on board the Bermuda, on suspicion of their being British subjects. We have examined into the character of Mr. Hollows, and it appears from the testi- mony of his captain and all'the gun-room officers in the Bermuda, frpm a knowledge of more than twelve months, to be that of a truly honest and honorable person, and tnat no doubloons have been seen in his possessi- on, or indeed on board the Bermuda since the 20th of February last. WTe herewith inclose the affidavits of captain Uyam and Mr. Hollows on the sub- ject, on which we cannot but place ever," faith aF.d certainly must have weight in exonerating Mr. Hollows* (who appears to be the person complained of, as being the only pereon left on board the Monk during the absence of Mr. Alien) from this most infamous and cruel charge. In our opini- on it does most fully exonerate and acquit him, well knowing the high considerations that is attached to the sacred nature of an oath by every Englishman. As it is not denied that the trunk was open both prior and subsequent to the search made by the officer of the Bermuda, the loss complained of might as well have hap- pened from the persons in the. cabin of the Monk, as in the way stated in the news- paper, and in the affidavits of the mastei mate, and servant of the Monk, charge is highly derogatory to the British service, and contrary to the general charac- ter given of that omcer. It is unfortunate that this subject cannot be brought before a court of justice, where a cross examination of the witnesses would throw such lighfon the subject as we doubt not would remove every suspicion injurious to the character of Mr. Hollows. We have the honor to be, Sir Your most obedient, humble servants, "2 Robert Laurie, captain ii. M.S. Milan, g, A. P. Hollis, H. M. S. Mermaid, S3 T. Townsend, capt. H. M. S. Halifax. The honorable George Berk- ley, vice-admiral & com- mander in chief of his majesty's's shirJs of war on the American station. From the New York Evening Post. At a very numerous meeting of the electors of the town of Marcellus, of the county of Onondaga, of every political denomi- nation, held on Thursday evening at Rice's hotel, the following resolutions were una- nimously adopted— ElnAthan Andrews, in the chair, Alex. AT. Beebee, Secretary. The fundamental pillar of our republican government is the virtue of the people : in proportion as that virtue is inoeased, the fabric of our liberties becomes secure ; in proportion as it is diminished, our independ- ence and freedom are weekened and enfee- bled. We, the members of this meeting, sensible that an attempt has been made by unprincipled foreigners to subvert this ark ofour political saiety, deem it our indispen- sible duty, in common with the rest of our fellow-citizens, to express our sentiments of the men who have violated the sanctuary of hospitality, and treated with contempt the institutions of our country. In pursuance of which, we adopt the following resolu- tions : Resolved, That we welcome to our shores the peaceable and well-meaning foreigner ; but the factions rebel, who, by interfering in the politics of our country, commits a high encroachment on the privileges cf citi- zens, merits our warmest indignation ; and we wish him a quick return to his native country. Resolved, That the Provident Hibernia Society, in the city of New-York, establish- ed on the broad basis of humanity, is an in- stitution truly laudable ; and that the late attempt of one of its members to pervert it from the channel of its purposes, was a dar- ing outrage on the principles of charity, calculated to make a man's political creed the criterion of his necessities, and display- ed a depravity of heart, novel in this coun- try, and exciting our utmost abhorrence. Resolved, That when by the impulses of national philantlirophy, we hold out a shel- ter to the wretched exile ; who, when we have assuaged his sorrows and misfortunes, endeavors to create dissentions among us. He evinces that his patriotism at home was the patriotism of a hypocrite, and abroad he unfolds himself the demagogue. Resoliiecl, That when a public minister in the discharge of his official functions, meets the approbation of executives of opposite political principles, the integrity of that officer is elevated beyond the reach of im- peachment. Resolved, That the late insolent attack of Thomas Addis Emmet (a traitor to his coun- try) on the character of Rttfus Ring, Esq. has stamped with a prophetic spirit the vigi- lance and caution of the ambassador ; and this very conduct of the alien, has convin- ced us of the corrtctness of the minister's fears. Resolved, Tln.t ,, ¦. rilaiirtain .; biŁh Mid ed sense of 1 of Mr. King ; and the urn Is"!. Wiii 1: ji:, .:¦, dly the itentu-i of a patsies so d ird in thfe sc-rfiee of his country, ought n it to escsp'e the in- dignation of all honest Americans', Hesolved, That the-late despicable threat af kdmond C. Genet against the very exist- ence of our government, must satisfy every1 candid American, that under the cloak of the citizen is concealed the spy of an emperor .- and that a crisis has arrived in our political affairs which calls for the collected virtue of the people to resist it. Resolved, That the tool of a French despot, and the member of an Irish Direc- tory, are individuals in our.community, on whom our lellow-citizei«« cannot .keep too scrutinizing an eye. Resobved, Tliat we have deferred adopt- ing the above resolutions until this time, to shew to the world, tha* they are not passi el for electioneering purposes ; but that they are the expression ofour sentiments at all times, and oil all occasions ; and t)i: 1 we sincerely recommend it to our fellow citizens thro' the state to follow our example, as the best means of checkiiig a .action, so- abandoned as to employ a French loyalist in the north, and an Irish traitor in thit? south, to prostrate the virtue and dignity o€ our gorernjmei t. Resolved, That the foregoing resolution* signed by the chairman and secretary bv puuhshed in the New-York Herald, Albany Gazette and U ica Patriot ELcUTJUN ANDREWS* Chairman. ALEXANDER M. BEBEE, Sec'ry, C ante ml Hf t. curt. This forenoon came on for hearing before the supreme court a motion to •' t/«w causr ¦why an attachment shoutrt not iaue against William Fenv, Pierre C. l\,n Wyek, and James Tcivnshcnd for a contempt of the conn'" for acting as chairman and secretaries 'of two several meetings of the democratic party, previous to the late ejection, at which certain resolutions were passed, oneof which related to the suit of Morgan Lewis (candi- date, for governor) against Thomas Farmar, then pending before this court. The.case may be briefly stated thus : Governor Lewis instil nit against Thomas Karmar for a libel, iii prmsi ":'.¦¦ at a public meeting which passed a c, aii :eso- lution injurious to his reputni -laiu- tilflaid the damages at J 00, 0 bu1 suit was instituted in the supreme court, where no bail can be i Such pro- cesses, the damages laid was a mere thing of form, and could prodtn ible incon- venience to the defendant; While this suit was pending, and before it. could be brought before a jury, a numerous meeting,- of the ; '¦¦ rtj ;ihg of probably six or sew , . ,, , ¦ jr.s from all parts of the city, collected and passed cartain resolu- tions ; among which was the following, re- lating to said suit. "Resolved, ultfinlmfuiiyi That we consi- 6 prosecution commenced by govern- or Lewis against Thomas Farmar,' as chair- man of the public meeting of free citizens, to be an unwarraptable attempt to sup/tress and destroy one if cur dearest and most va- lualleprivitedgci- that of assembling t»ge- thercpenly and publicly- ofdistussillg freely the conduct of public men and public mea- sures—and of expressing our resolutions and opinions to the world ; and that, there- fore, such prosecution evinces an intolerant spirit, unbecoming the chief magitsrate of a free state — disgraceful in a free govern- ment, and insulting to the feelings of every citizen wdio w-as present at that meeting." Not content with this, similar resolutions, it appears, were passed at all the different wards. On Saturday last the plaintiff in the suit came into court and moved for the above; mentioned rule ; which has been argued this morning; 1'vlessis. Sandford, Biker and Em- met, counsel for the defendants. The ground taken for the defendants, was that electors had a right to scrutinize the qualifications of a candidate for the suffrag- es of the people ; and much time was con- sumed and a great deal of learning'display- ed in the endeavour to establish a propositi- on which nobody disputes. Perspicuity perhaps makes it necessary that the question shoukl be divided. Fust is it " an uirwarantabJe attempt to suppress and destroy,a dear and invaluable priviledge" of the people, for a man who has been de- famed at a public meeting, to commence a suit before the supreme court for the pur- pose of trying the truth of the charges al- leged against him at such meeting ? Se- cond, Is it a reflection upon the jus- tice and respectability of the court to sny that the bringing such suit is such an un- warrantable attempt ? A third question also presents itself, viz. whether it does not ex- tremely jeopardize the rights of parties and tend to deprive them of the chance o'f ob- taining a fair and impartial jury to deride upon their cause, thus to collect mora than half the community together before hand and get them to prejudge the question in iss^ie ? ,On these two questions we shall not pre- tend to intimate an Opinion ; '.hat is ths prerogative of the court ; we merely state what v. • : the real points hi 1 neither of which were so fortunate-as to hear duscassion this forenoon.' On the one side, the counsel, so far as they went, exerted themselves to support what nobody denies 5 on the other, the counsel seemed to con sidec- it was a question in which the honor an!1 in dependence of the com I re concern- ed, without at all involving the right and in- terests of -.heir client, and therefore they declined any argument. The chief justice at length interfered and stopt the second advocate for the defendants in the midst of his speech ; saying that as the defendants had come into court, and purged themselves of any intentional con- tempt, by swearing they meant no contempt, and had behaved tktmulves like gentlemen, the court were not disposed to hear any thing further on the subject. Judge Thompson then asked the counsel for the plaintiff, whe- ther they applied to the discretion of the court to interfere in the protection of its own privileges, or whether they nppt'-aled to jt in behalf of their client on thegrounu of right; the answer was, that they applied to tbe discretion of the court, but at the same tirne meant, to be understood ...; , no right of their clients fihle diyniifcd.
