Important Document,
Cmmumc&d te Congreft, by the Prcffrt of the
United States, on the tyh Noy. 1803.
An account of Louisana:
Being an abflrart of Documents in the Offices of tie
Departments of State and of the Treasury.

Crime,, -Criminal Jariftrutoc and PuniJbmenh
IN case of petty crime# the cognizance of the proper
courts may be said to be final and without appeal, and
poll comjponly such causes are decided in a fiimmary way.
"Wit> rcfpe& to crimg of a deeper dye, more solemnity is
used. A perfob frilled in the law is always nominated by
the court to defend the accused. The trial is not public,
but examinations anddepofitions in writing are taken pri
vately by the auditor at any time most convenient to him
&lf, at which nevertheless the counsel of the accused is ad
mittedeo be present. He has also every kind of privilege
.granted to him in making his defence. Such Cuits are gen
erally very tedious and expensive when he is wealthy. The
condemned is entitled to an appeal as in civil cases, provid
ed tie gives security for the payment of-furirte tofts. 1 here
appears, however, to be a virtual appeal in every concern
mation, because a flay of execution takes place Until the con
firmation of the sentence returns from St. Jago de Cuba,
where there is a grand tribunal eftablilhed consisting of five
Judges, before whom counfellors plead as in our courts. .
Crimes of great atrocity are very rare. Murder by Tab
bing seems to be confined to the Spanish foldicr, and sailors
—The terror of the Magiftratis power refrains Faults,
batteries, riots, &c . .
Punishments are generally mild—They mostly consist
of imprisonment and payment of costs, Sometimes t e
flocks. White men. not military,are rarely, perhaps never
degreed by whipping, and in no case do any fines go into
the public treasury, Murder, Arson and aggravated rob
bery of the king's treasury or effects, are punished with
death. Robbery of private persons to any amount is never
punished with death, but by reftirution, imprifoon^ent, and
Sometimes enormous cells. Crimes against the king s re
venue, fucii as contraband trade, are punished with bard
labour for life, or a term of years on board the gallics in the
mines, or on the public works
Learning.
There are no colleges tfi but one public School, which
is at New-Orleans. The matters of this are paid by the
king They teach the Spanish language only There are a
few private schools for children Not more than half of 1
the inhabitants are supposed te be able to read and writer
of whom not more than two hundred perhaps are able to
do it well in general the learning of the inhabitants dees
mot txtend beyond those two arts, though they seem to be
endowed with a good natural genius, and an uncommon
facility of learning whatever they undertake
The Ctoeb .
The clergy confits of a bishop who does not tefide in
the province, and whoft salary .of four thousand dollars is
charged on the revenue of certain bishoprics in Mexico and
Cuba, two canons, having each a salary of fix hundred
dollars, and twenty five curates, five for the city of New-
Orleans, and twenty for as many country parishes, who re
ceive each from three hundred and sixty to four hundred
and eighty dollars a year Those salaries excepting that of
the bishop, together with an allowance for facritans and
chapel expetices, are paid by the treasury at New Orleans,
and amount annually to thirteen thousand dollars
There is also at that place a convent of Urfulines, to
which is attached about a thousand acres of land, rented
out in three plantations The nuns are new in number not
more than tedor twelve, and are all French There were
formerly about the fame number of Spanifli ladies belong
ing tv the order, but they retired to Havanna during the
period when it was expelled that, the province would be
transferred to France The remaining nuns receive young
ladies as boarders, and inftru& them in reading; writing,
and needle work .
They have always afted with great propriety, and arc
generally refpeded and beloved throughout the province,
with the assistance of an annual allowance of fix. hundred
dollars from the treasury they always support and educate
twelve female orphans
Os the Officer, of Government,
The officers who are merely judicial, have been already
mentioned, and therefore feme of them frill be altogether
omitted in this place The executive officers appointed by
the governor, for each division of the province, and called
Commandants, are generally taken from the army, or
the militia.—When the settlement is small, some reipeda
blc character is appointed to the civil command, and the
militia officer has the direction of the military matters.
Where there is a garrison, the commandant is fob-delegate
of the intendant, and draws upon him for all expences in
curred. In that cafe'he has the charge of all matters relat
ing to the revenue; within his diftria.
The duty of commandants is to Superintend the police,
preserve the peace of the diftridt, examine the passports of
travellers, and to Suffer no Grangers to fettle within the
limits of their command, without regular leave obtained
from government. They are to prevent Smuggling, to cer
tify that all lands petitioned for by the inhabitants, are va
cant before they are granted, and when required, put the
owner in puiTcffion. They are befidcs, notaries public, and
in their offices it is necessary to register all falcs of lands and
Haves, and even to make the contracts for those purposes,
before, them. They a& as fheriffs, levy executions on pro
perty, attend and certify the sale, and collect the proceeds.
They also take inventories of the property of inteftatos.
By an ordinance of Baron Carondclet, Syndics are estab
lished every three leagues, who arc Subordinate to the com
mandant, decide small causes, and have the police of roads,
levies, travellers and negroes.
The officers of the general government are the following .•
Befida his judicial powers, the Governor is chief of the
army and militia, and the head of the civil government.
Heris also president of the Cabildo, or Provincial council.
He appoints and removes at pleafare ths commandants of.
diftridHHe appoints the officers of the militia, who are
weverthelefs commissioned by the king, and he recommends
military officers for preferment. He is fuperintendant of
Indian affairs. He promulgates ordinances for the good
government and improvement of the province, but he has
no power to assess taxes upon the inhabitants without their
eonfent. Until the year 1798 he possessed the sole power
of granting lands, but it then puffed into the hands of , the
""The Cabildo is an hereditary council of twelve, chosen
criginally from the mod wealthy and refpe&tble families.
The governor presides over their meetings. Their office
is very honourable, but it is acquired by purchase. Thg
have a right to reprefenc, arid even to r^monftrate to the
governor, in reaped to the interior government of the pro
vince. The police of the city is under their controul upd
direaion. In it they regulate the admission of physicians
and surgeons to pradlicc. Two members of the Cabildo
ferva by turn monthly, and take upon themselves the imme
diate fuperin tendance of markets, bakers, streets, bridges,
and the general police of the city. This council distributes
among its members Several important offices, such as A^
guazil Mayor, or High Sheriff, Alcalde Provincial, Procu
rer General, &c. The hft mentioned is a very impor
tant charge. The person who holds it is not merely the
king's attorney, but an officer peculiar to the civil law.
He does not always prosecute : but after conviction he in
dicates the punishment annexed by law to the crime, and
which may be, and is mitigated by the court Like the
chancellor ib the English system, he is the curator and the
protestor of orphans, &c. and,finally, he is the expounder
Lthe law, the defender of privileges belonging to the town,
province or colony, and the accuser of every public officer
that infringes them.
The Cabildo is also veiled with a fpeciea of judicial au
thority, for which, and for a further elucidation of its con
stitution, and the fun&ions of the officers fptinging from it,
fee the appendix No. I.
The INTENDANT so chief of the department of finance
aad commerce, and ucrcifai the judicial powers already
mentioned. Heis entirely independent of the governor,
and no public monies can be issued without his express or
der. The land office is under bis diredhon.-
The Contador, Treasurer and Inventor, are officers fob
ordinate to the Intendant. The firft has four clerks under
him, and keeps all accounts and documents refpedipg the
receipt and expenditure of the revenue, and is therefore a
check upon the intendant. The treasurer is properly no
more than a ealhier, and is allowed one cleric. The inter
ventor superintends all public perchafes, and bargains.
The administrator is also subordinate to the intendant, and
with a number of Inferior officers, manages every thing fc
fpe&ing the enfem^hoofe. Every clerk in these offices re
reives his commission from the king. , , --
The Auditor is the king's council, who „ to furnish the
1 governor with legal advice in all cases of judicial proceed
ings, whether civil or military.
The Affeffor'e functions are fimibr to those of Auditor,
and are properly applicable ta the Intendants department.
Both of the officers last mentioned are also the councilors
of some of the other tribunals, as before intimated.
A Secretary of the government and another of the In
tendancy.
A Surveyor General. A Harbour er.
A Store Keeper, who takes charge of all public moveable
>property..
An Inter, retrr of the French and Spandh languages, and
a number of other inferior officers.„.
All appointments in the province with a salary of mere
than thirty dollars per month arc made by the king, and
most of those with a lower salary by the governor or in
tendant as belong to their refpeaive departments. There
are no officers chosen by the people. ,
The salaries and perquisites of the principal oficers ara
as follows—
Governor annually, 6,000 p. salary %,000 perquisites,
Intendant, 4,000 none
Auditor, 2,000 2,000
Contador, 2,000 none.
AST Her, 1,000 t,oc6
Treasurer, 1,200 none.
Administrator, 1,200 none
Sec. of government, 600 , 2,000
The commandants of diftridts receive each 103 dollars
from the king annually, unkfs they arc possessed of a mili
tary employment or pension.
