SEVENTH CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES,
AT THE SECOND SESSION, Begun and held at the City of Washington, in the Territory of Columbia, on Monday the Sixth of December, one thousand eight hundred and two.
AN ACT
Regulating the grants of land, and providing for the disposal of the lands of the United States, south of the state of Tennessee.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any person or persons, and the legal representatives of any person or persons, who were resident in the Mississippi territory on the twenty-seventh day of October, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, and who had prior to that day obtained either from the British government of West Florida, or from the Spanish government, any warrant or order of survey for lands lying within the said territory, to which the Indian title had been extinguished, and which were on that day actually inhabited and cultivated by such person or persons, or for his or their use, shall be confirmed in their claims, to such lands to the same manner as if their titles had been completed: Provided however, That no such incomplete title shall be confirmed, unless the person in whose name such warrant or order of survey had been granted, was at the time of its date either the head of a family, or above the age of twenty-one years.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That to every person, or to the legal representative or representatives of every person who, being either the head of a family, or of twenty-one years of age, did on that day of the year seventeen hundred and ninety-five, when the Mississippi territory was finally evacuated by the Spanish troops, actually inhabit and cultivate a tract of land in the said territory, not claimed by virtue either of the preceding section, or of any British grant, or of the articles of agreement and cession between the United States and the state of Georgia, the said tract of land thus inhabited and cultivated, shall be granted: Provided however, That not more than one tract shall be thus granted to any one person, and the same shall not contain more than six hundred and forty acres: And provided also, That this donation shall not be made to any person who claims any other tract of land in the said territory by virtue of any British or Spanish grant, or order of survey.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That every person, and the legal representatives of every person, who being the head of a family, or above the age of twenty-one years, did at the time of passing this act, inhabit and cultivate a tract of land in the said territory, not claimed by virtue of the preceding sections of this act, or of any British grant, or of the articles of agreement and cession above mentioned, shall be entitled to a preference in becoming the purchaser from the United States, of such tract of land, at the price at which the other lands of the United States in the said territory, are by this act directed to be sold; and payment may be made therefor in the same manner, and under the same conditions as directed by this act for such other lands: Provided however, That no interest shall be charged upon any of the instalments until they respectively become payable.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That for the disposal of the lands of the United States within the Mississippi territory, two land offices shall be established in the same, one at such place in the county of Adams, as shall be designated by the President of the United States, for the lands lying west of "Pearl river," sometimes called "half way river;" and one at such place in the county of Washington, as shall be designated by the President of the United States, for the lands lying east of Pearl river and for each of the said offices, a register and a receiver of public monies shall be appointed, who shall give security in the same manner, and in the same sums, and whose duties and authority shall in every respect be the same in relation to the lands which shall be disposed of at their offices, as are by law provided in relation to the registers and the receivers of public monies in the several offices established for the disposal of the lands of the United States, north of the river Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That every person claiming lands by virtue of any British grant, or of the three first sections of this act, or of the articles of agreement and cession between the United States and the state of Georgia, shall, before the last day of March, in the year one thousand eight hundred and four, deliver to the register of the said office, within whose district the land may be, a notice in writing, stating the nature and extent of his claim, together with a plot of the tract or tracts claimed, and shall also on or before that day, deliver to the said register, for the purpose of being recorded, every grant, order of survey, deed, conveyance, or other written evidence of his claim, and the same shall be recorded by the said register, in books to be kept for that purpose, on receiving from the parties at the rate of twelve and a half cents, for every hundred words contained in such written evidence of their claim; and if such person shall neglect to deliver such notice in writing, of his claim, together with a plot as aforesaid, or cause to be recorded such written evidence of the same, all his right, so far as the same is derived from the above mentioned articles of agreement, or from the three first sections of this act, shall become void, and forever thereafter be barred; nor shall any grant, order of survey, deed, conveyance, or other written evidence, which shall not be recorded as above directed, ever after be considered or admitted as evidence in any court in the United States, against any grant derived from the United States.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the register of the land office in Adams county, and two other persons who shall be appointed by the President of the United States alone shall, for the lands lying west of Pearl river, and the register of the land office of Washington county, together with two other persons who shall be appointed by the President of the United States alone shall, for the lands lying east of Pearl river, respectively be commissioners, for the purpose of ascertaining the rights of persons, claiming the benefit of the articles of agreement and cession between the United States and the state of Georgia, or of the three first sections of this act; and the said commissioners shall, previous to entering on the duties of their appointment, respectively take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation, before some person qualified to administer the same: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will impartially exercise and discharge the duties imposed upon me, by an act of Congress, entitled, an act regulating the grants of land and providing for the disposal of the lands of the United States south of the state of Tennessee, to the best of my skill and judgment." And it shall be the duty of the said commissioners to meet in the county of Adams, and in Washington county aforesaid, respectively, on or before the first day of December next, and they shall not adjourn to any other place, or for a longer time than three days, until the first day of April, one thousand eight hundred and four, and until they shall have completed the business of their appointment. And each board, or a majority of each board, shall, in their respective districts, have power to hear and decide in a summary manner, all matters respecting such claims, also to administer oaths and examine witnesses, and such other testimony as may be adduced, and to determine thereon according to justice and equity; which determination, so far as relates to any rights derived from the articles of agreement above mentioned, or from the three first sections of this act, shall be final; and for the safe keeping of the papers and evidence produced and recording their proceedings, the said boards, respectively, shall have power to appoint a clerk, whose duty it shall be to enter in a book to be kept for that purpose, perfect and correct minutes of the proceedings, decisions, meetings and adjournments of the boards, together with the evidence on which such decisions are made; which books and papers, on the disposition of the boards shall be transmitted to, and lodged in the office of the Secretary of State; and on or before such clerk entering on the duties of his office, he shall take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation, to wit: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) as the case may be, that I will truly and faithfully enter and record all minutes, proceedings and decisions of the board of commissioners for the county of Adams, appointed under and by virtue of an act of the United States, entitled "An act regulating the grants of land, and providing for the disposal of the lands of the United States, south of the state of Tennessee," and well and faithfully do and perform all other acts and things in said act, pointed out as the duty of a clerk of the said board," which oath shall be entered on the minutes of the board; and when it shall appear to them that the claimant is entitled to a tract of land under the articles of agreement and cession with Georgia aforesaid, in virtue of a British or Spanish grant legally and fully executed, they shall give a certificate thereof, describing the tract of land and grant, and stating that the claimant is confirmed in his title thereto by virtue of the said articles; which certificate, being recorded by the register of the land office, whose duty it shall be to record the same in a book to be kept by him for that purpose, shall amount to a relinquishment forever on the part of the United States to any claim whatever to such tract of land; and when it shall appear to the said commissioners that the claimant is entitled to a tract of land by virtue of a settlement under the Bourbon act of Georgia, recognized in the said articles of agreement and cession, or of either of the two first sections of this act, they shall give a certificate thereof, stating the circumstances of the case, and that the claimant is entitled to receive a patent for such a tract of land by virtue of this act; which certificate being duly entered with the register of the land office, on or before the first day of January, eighteen hundred and five, shall entitle the party to a patent for the said tract, which shall issue in like manner as is provided by this act for the other lands of the United States, without the party paying any thing therefor, except the surveying expenses and the fees of office. And when it
shall appear to the said commissioners that the claimant is entitled to a right of preemption by virtue of the third section of this act, they shall give a certificate thereof, directed to the register of the land office; which certificate being duly entered with the register of the land office, on or before the first day of January, eighteen hundred and five, shall entitle the party to become a purchaser for such tract of land: Provided, That he shall prior to the first day of January, eighteen hundred and five, also produce a receipt from the treasurer of the United States, or from the receiver of public monies for at least one fourth part of the purchase money, and also for the payment of the surveying expenses; and the party shall upon payment in full of the purchase money, on which, if any of the three last payments shall be made in advance, he shall be allowed the same discount allowed in similar cases by this act, be entitled to receive a patent, which shall issue in like manner, and on payment of the same fees as are provided by this act for the other lands of the United States: but if such person shall neglect to enter his certificate, on or before the first day of January, eighteen hundred and five or to make such first payment as above provided, his right of preemption shall cease and become void: Provided also, and it is further enacted, That whenever a tract of land to which any person might be entitled by virtue of the three first sections of this act, shall also be claimed by the holder of a British patent, legally and fully executed, and duly recorded in conformity to the provisions of this act, who is not confirmed in his claim by the articles of agreement above mentioned, the commissioners shall in the certificate granted to the person claiming the land by virtue of this act state the existence of the adverse claim, in which case the party shall not be entitled to a patent, unless he shall have obtained in his favour a judicial decision in a court having jurisdiction therein, and for every certificate so granted by the board respectively the clerk of the board granting the same, shall be entitled to demand and receive of the party to whom the same is granted, the sum of two dollars.
Sec. 7.

FEDERAL MOVEMENTS.
THE leading men of the anti-republican party cannot help discovering the vehemence of their chagrin at the disappointments they have met with, and at the increasing reputation of the administrators of our government; at the same time, that they are incessantly exerting themselves to revive their cause; incapable, through the fatality of their mental disease, of realising that it has received its death wound. They now appear to act like men, who, finding they have no other resource but what may arise from civil war, are using every means in their power to effect so horrible a calamity, without regard to conscience or humanity, or the all-seeing eye, and vindictive justice of heaven. The evidences of this their desperation and phrenzy are too remarkable to be overlooked; and call upon all the friends of our mild and pacific government to be on their guard, and to have a watchful eye on the various movements of the enemy.
What designs can they have, in the alarms they are founding against democracy? "The issue of it here , (they say) must be civil war, desolation and anarchy; and the light of experience, (they add) must convince of the futility of this form of government—the wise discern its imperfections, the good shudder at its miseries; no honest man but proclaims its fraud, and no brave man but draws his sword against its force." And they have the audacity to add further, that "the institution of a scheme of policy so radically contemptible and vicious, is a memorable example of what the villainy of some men can devise , the folly of others receive, and both establish in despite of reason, reflexion and sentiment." This sword to be drawn against democracy, is evidently pointed, or to be unsheathed, (if they can adventure it) against our representative system , and the right of suffrage , which are the pride and excellency of our general and state governments. Can there be a plainer indication, than in the above, of the wishes and designs of the enemies of our government, as well as of their enmity and chagrin against it. The democratical form of government is said to "be on its trial here, and the issue of it is to be civil war," according to the opinion of these writers; by which can be meant no other than that our republican government, which is a representative democracy , is so abhorrent to the honest, wise and brave federalists, of modern date, that all their powers must rise against and demolish it. It was "weak and wicked (they say) in Athens," and "worse in Rome," and bad every where, and to be tolerated no where. Therefore, away with it , and hurl destruction upon the villainous devisers of it ." Could any thing be more strongly pointed against our Constitution and government, against both its founders and its present administrators, than the paragraph from which the above inflammatory lines are extracted? Can citizens observe these things without just resentment and indignation?—Citizens, who have endured the most trying scenes to establish a government, the happy effects of which they are, in a thousand instances, daily experiencing?
Though the falsity and absurdity of the arguments, used by the factious leaders, have been repeatedly demonstrated, yet still they bring them forward, as if determined to enforce them against both the reason and the will of the people. History must speak what they please; facts must yield to their fictions and misrepresentations;
found argument to their sophistry; or all to their ultima ratio , like the word, or the sword of a king, against which there is no rising up , no opposition with impunity.
As to democracy, (so vehemently execrated and proscribed by the self-created factious powers in their imaginary dominion) it is well ascertained, from faithful history, that the Athenians, under the democratical form of government, were in the Zenith of their glory: then lived the most illustrious citizens, and the most brilliant actions were performed.—And with regard to the Romans, it is equally certain, that their democracy rendered their tranquility, glory and happiness unparalled in any nation or government. The evils, which arose after those happy years, were the works of ambition, jealousy and folly. But, we trust, American Republicans, being forewarned, will be forearmed.
The writers in the opposition have shown their dexterity in falsifying historical truth, relative to government, both civil and religious. The invidious enemies of our revolution have joined hand in hand in iniquity, 'till its measure is nearly full. Republicanism must indeed be annihilated, as they ardently wish, before their designed union of church and state can be effected. When those honest, wise, good and brave men , who are inflamed with the desire of that union, shall avail to unsheath the sword, and commence open hostilities against the sacred rights of citizenship, and the sacred rights of conscience, we may draw the conclusion, that the measure of their vile and honest deeds is full , and the hour of their just recompence ready.
It is republicanism alone that can preserve our country and nation from the miserable fate of others. The self-aggrandizing schemes pursued by the late administrators of our government; their proud ideas of national grandeur to arise from an extended and forced commerce, their passion for a commercial aristocracy, for pomp, eclat and magnificence; their eagerness after a profusion of wealth; for the consolidation of all power in their own hands, and a king of their own choosing;—these are the things that have supplanted virtue, and ruined nations and countries; and should they prevail in this country, would forever deprive us of the inestimable blessings we now enjoy;—blessings for which we fought and conquered, and for the attaining and securing of which our constitution and government were framed and established by our own hands.
Our confederated republics, three thousand miles distanced from the European powers, possessed of a vast and fertile territory, inhabited by millions of virtuous and industrious people; great in knowledge and experience, in arts and sciences; rich in resources for every emergency, and inviolably attached to those political principles which alone become the dignity of man, and which effectually tend to the preservation of liberty and peace, and the increase of happiness,—a grand spectacle presented to the world, far exceeding all it knew before,—A people, thus situated, enlightened and principled, will never suffer the destructive systems of vanity, ambition and avarice to supplant the rational and sublime ones, which their own virtue, wisdom and experience have formed. The various adherents to the former, could they yield to just reflections, must be at once convinced, they have nothing to hope from their best devised strategies, or most vigorous exertions. But their unprincipled minds cannot endure the light of truth, while their pride and passions bury them on to disgrace and ruin.
HONORIUS. June 27, 1803.
THE federal editors in all parts of the Union are very silent about the late election in this state. And well may they be. They may rest assured they will find no consolation for them in this quarter. The honest men of the state of New-York are determined to live free. They will keep their liberties free from the grasp of that monster federalism . Should these pretended "federal friends of order," once more get the power into their hands we might soon bid adieu to liberty, peace, happiness and all the political blessings which we now enjoy. The result of the late election in this state beams gladness into the heart of every genuine American. The republicans have, by their laudable exertions, completely defeated their federal opponents, who it was laid were fast gaining an ascendancy in this state. They will not to exult too much over them though it cannot be expected that they will remain silent on the occasion. What would have been said and done by the federalists had they gained the election in this country? We should have been stunted with the noise of the "triumph of federalism." It would have been run through every federal paper from Maine to Georgia, that the sun of federalism was again rising in the state of New-York. But how mortified must they feel at their complete defeat! To what quarter will our meek editors of the Balance now look for consolation? O, to Connecticut! She is their best hope but even Connecticut is fast following the other fourteen states and embracing the principles of the present administration of our general government. What will they say of the rapid increase of the republicans in the state of Connecticut? Nothing. They will be very careful not to mention the alarming fact; but you will hear them continually bawling of the "triumph of federalism in Connecticut." The republicans of Connecticut can have the pleasure to reflect that although they are not so numerous now in their own state as the federalists, still that fourteen out of seventeen of the United States are decidedly republican, and the time is very near at hand when Connecticut will be so likewise.

While some of our own citizens are employed in traducing the character and measures of those who administer the public
concerns, and in endeavoring to convince us that we are an unhappy nation, it may not be altogether uninteresting to notice the opinions entertained abroad of the government and its measures, in countries where there are neither temptation or prejudice or interest to form too favorable an estimate. We sincerely believe the following extract from a late English print of the first respectability, is a disinterested and intelligent representation of the estimation in which our government and people are held by Europe; and as such, we present it as an evidence of the wisdom of our political institutions, and of the fidelity with which they are executed, and of the unrivalled prosperity of our country.
"The picture which the message of the American President has drawn of the increasing prosperity of the U. States, cannot fail to diffuse universal satisfaction. It affords the happiest illustration of the wisdom of that policy which has preferred to America the blessings of peace while, for ten years, Europe has been desolated and afflicted by all the horrors of a war, unparalleled in the misery which it has produced in the history of modern times. This picture must, by the people of this country in a peculiar manner be contemplated with the deepest attention as it irresistibly suggests a consideration of the comparative situation of this country at the present moment. From year to year the public burthens of the people of America have been diminishing, and the extinction of the public debt has been proceeding without the smallest interruption. From year to year the public expenditure has been lessened, and the national economy has been pursued with greater ardour. From year to year public abuses have been corrected, and public improvements have been introduced. Public tranquility has not for a moment been disturbed, and no human lives, have been lost for the gratification or ambition of the lust of power."
"While Europe has been deluded with blood, America has been blessed with industry, with commerce and with eternal repose. How very different a prospect does the situation of this country for the last ten years present to our contemplation. Year after year has added to our national expenditure and to the burdens of our polity; year after year has diminished the comforts of honest industry and decreased the number of citizens contributing by their labour to the general interest of society. That national estate which ought to have been reserved for emergencies which involves whatever interests are most important to a people, has been dissipated in the prosecution of a contest begun without necessity, carried on without talents, and terminated by disappointment."
[Triumph of Liberty.]
BY THE LAST MAILS.
OHIO. CHILICOTHE, JUNE 4. HIS Excellency the Governor has received, by express, communications of the proceedings at a ta/k held at the head of Mad River the 28th May, with a number of Indian Chiefs, on the subject of the recent murders. Mr. Zane, the interpreter, called the meeting, and nine Chiefs of the Wiandots , Potapine and Bear Tribes attended. In their report, they request the whites not to be rash in their revenge; to inquire before they execute.—They express their readiness to exert themselves to discover and bring to punishment, the perpetrators of the murders; and while they ask for pity on their children, they send a belt in testimony of their continued friendship.
The Chiefs of the Mingo nation, having received information concerning the unhappy circumstances that has lately happened, have sent to His Excellency Governor Tiffin, the following ADDRESS:—
Dry your tears and refrain from weeping, until we have time to exert ourselves, in every respect, to find out who has done this mischief, which we will certainly do. You must expect that we feel the same grief at heart with yourselves, for the loss of our brother.
We request that you will consider our situation and not distress us, and punish the innocent for the guilty.
We are living in the bounds of our brothers the white people's land, and it is our wish to live in friendship with them.
We are led to believe that it is a people from a large distance that has done this mischief, that wishes to breed discord amongst us, and then fly to their own country. Be this as it may, we will use every exertion to find out the murderer, and with all possible expedition let you know. At the same time, humbly request that you will not use any distressing means until you hear from us again.
This from your affectionate Friends and Brothers—
UNDEADEHO, a Mingo , ( Turtle Tribe .) PETEANOOWAY, a Shawney ( Wolf Tribe .) This we send by our truly friend and brother, JAMES M'PHERSON, with hopes and expectations that he will bring us a friendly answer from our distressed brothers. To His Excellency EDWARD TIFFIN, Esq. Governor of the State of Ohio.
To the Chiefs of the Wiandots and Mingo Nations of Indians.
FRIENDS AND BROTHERS. I have received by your truly friend and brother, JAMES M'PHERSON, the reports of your councils, held at the head of Mad River, on the 28th and 29th May, and am extremely happy to hear from you on this melancholy occasion. I will relate to you the unhappy occurrences that have happened: On the 20th of last month, an Indian of what nation I know not, attacked Capt. HEROD, on the north fork of Paint Creek, near the old town, and in a cruel manner, shot him, tomahawked and scalped him, without any provocation whatever.—We were much distressed on this occasion, fearing that it might provoke some of our inconsiderate people to revenge his death upon an innocent person or our people.—Our fears were too well founded; for on Monday following, as two or three of our men were riding through a prairie, near the old town, they discovered an Indian, and, in an ungovernable manner put him to death. From the description we have of him, we fear it is War Williams a Shawney , though of this we are not quite certain. Before he fell he killed one of our white men and wounded another.
FRIENDS AND BROTHERS. We mean not to let the Indian's death
pass unnoticed; as soon as the wounded man who killed him, is in a situation from his wounds, he will be delivered up to the laws of his country.
FRIENDS AND BROTHERS, We have now lost two men, and you have lost one; and although the Indians were the first aggressors, yet we do not mean that the harmony which has been heretofore subsisted between your nations and our government, shall be further interrupted, on our part. We have confidence in your declarations, that you will exert yourselves to find out the Indian that murdered Capt. HEROD, and deliver him up, that he may be dealt with according to law, as well as the white man who murdered the Indian, as examples to deter the inconsiderate both of your people and ours, from committing acts of hostility which may endanger the peace and happiness of both sides.
FRIENDS AND BROTHERS, Wipe the tears from your eyes, and rest assured of our real disposition to respect your rights and live in habits of friendship and brotherhood with you. We will caution all our frontier people to that effect, and request that you, in like manner, will be particular in cautioning all your warriors and hunters to cultivate peace and friendship with our people.
We receive your Belt, in testimony of your continued friendship, and request you to accept our sincere wishes that the Great Spirit may direct your people and ours, to the cultivation of peace and friendship towards each other.
EDWARD TIFFIN, Governor, and Commander in Chief of the State of Ohio.
LEXINGTON, JUNE 7.
We are warranted in asserting, that our Indian neighbours are disposed for peace: we have more to fear the consequences of the lawless behaviour of our frontier men, than the hostilities of the Indians. A gentleman direct from Natchez, informs that a band of Robbers (white men) infest the country between the Indian towns and the settlements; and are generally pointed and dressed as Chactaws .
NEW-YORK, JUNE 22.
DEPOSIT RESTORED,
From NEW-ORLEANS, May 18.
"The following was published yesterday afternoon, two hours after the arrival of the express forwarded from Washington the 19th ult. And I avail myself of the return of the express, (who is now on the point of starting) to transmit it to you."
DON JUAN VENTURA MORALES, &c. It is hereby made known that his most excellent Sir Don Pedro Ceballos, Secretary of State, &c. has forwarded to me under the date of 18th March last, the following royal order:
"The king being informed of the edict that you have published, prohibiting the deposit of goods and effects of the citizens of the United States, in New-Orleans, granted to that nation by the 2d article of the treaty of 1795, his Majesty has thought fit to order, that you permit the said Deposit in N. Orleans, without prejudice to what the two governments may agree upon between themselves, respecting the construction to be given to the said treaty in what relates to changing the establishment of New-Orleans, for another on the borders of the Mississippi, in order that the depositing of the merchandise and effects of the United States be fulfilled—which I communicated to you by Royal order, for its most punctual performance on your part."
And whereas the edict of the 16th Oct. last, pass, which prohibited the introduction and depositing the merchandise and effects of the citizens of the United States, until the Intendency should receive express orders from the King, to authorize its continuance, is hereby become null and void, and without force.
I have thought proper to order this to be affixed in the customary places, for the information of the public and the offices to which will be transmitted copies of the sovereign resolution, to the intent of allowing the deposit in the same manner, and with like formalities, as were formerly observed.
Given at New-Orleans, the 17th May, 1803, under my hand, and countersigned by the notary of royal finance.
(Signed) JUAN VENTURA MORALES.
TRENTON (N.J.) MAY 16.
Extra of a letter from a Clergyman to his friend at Washington City, Feb. 1803.
"I hear with pleasure that God is doing wonders in the southern and Western parts of our country. It should rejoice the heart of every good man to see his fellow creatures reformed whether the reformation is accomplished by the exercise of reason alone, or by the preaching of the Gospel, and the interposition of the divine Spirit. Rational Christians make the best citizens, the firmest supporters of free government. Infidelity and Bigotry are both inimical to the happiness of nations. The one tends to corrupt the morals, and thereby loosens the bonds of society; the other would kill you to do God's service. I hope and trust Heaven is about to send upon men an enlightened piety, that shall be at an equal remove from these two wide extremes."
"It is observable that the states most republican are the chief subjects of this glorious revival. We were often told that the Presidency of Mr. Jefferson would be unfriendly to religion. It does not prove so; but the God of truth has given the lie to his calumniators. Oh! when shall all the world become truly christianized! when shall the knowledge of God cover this earth as the waters do the sea!—Tell Mr. Paine, for me that Jesus is the friend of sinners. Tell him not to write, to publish, or even think anything against the divinity of his person, he will need such an almighty friend when he comes to lie on his death bed. He cannot overturn the Kingdom of the Redeemer; but he may harm the cause of Republicanism. Oh! When shall the world become republican! When shall oppressive forms of Government give place to that rational christian liberty that reaches us all men are equal! Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. May this spirit fall upon us as a mighty rushing wind; and may the religion of Jesus and the politics of Jefferson prevail and cover the whole earth."

From the Natchez Herald, May 27. [OFFICIAL.] His Excellency, Manuel de Salcedo, Governor General of Louisiana, has addressed to Governor Claiborne a letter, of which the following is a translation: "Most Excellent Sir:—As the smallest circumstance respecting this important subject is so interesting to the general satisfaction and tranquility of our respective governments, I take the particular pleasure in communicating to your excellency, that yesterday at 12 o'clock, one hour after the arrival of the Courier, the deposit for American merchandise and effects, was restored, and put on the footing it formerly stood. God preserve your Excellency many years. MANUEL DE SALCEDO. New-Orleans, May 18, 1803. His Excellency, W. C. CLAIBORNE, Governor of the Mississippi Territory."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Belfast, Ireland, to his friend in Fredericktown dated April 5th, 1803. "It affords great pleasure to all the lovers of rational liberty here, that the people of the United States appear to be so well pleased with their present President; and that under his administration civil and religious liberty are likely to maintain a permanent basis. "The fare of Switzerland will drive many of the inhabitants of that once happy country across the Atlantic; and tend greatly to increase the wealth, virtue and population of your country. If I may be allowed the expression, you are getting from time to time, the cream of Europe; for I consider the greatest part of those who emigrate at present to be the flowers of those countries from which they are influenced to depart. "Our European hemisphere begins to loar with the awful prospect of war and bloodshed. Though the swords of France and England be again drawn, I hope in God the scabbards will not be hastily thrown away. If war be the alternative, it is expected it will be carried on with more than usual ferocity: And rather a war of extirpation than any thing else."
FEATURES OF FACTION. Judge Chase's charge, the late publication in Bradford's paper in this city, and in the Port Folio—Alexander Hamilton's chain round the union—the railings at democracy in the Boston Federalist—all prove the uniformity, consistency, and principles of the faction of which Hamilton continues to be the very suitable and characteristic leader. Hamilton many years ago avowed his preference to monarchy: His project of a constitution presented to the convention was monarchical: He continues to hold the confidence, and to issue orders to the whole of the party. Hamilton's favorite system is a military one, which combines all the energies of monarchy. Judge Chase says that he is attached to a free republican government; that true liberty does not consist in the possession of equal rights; that he denies that man derives from nature any rights of which society could not deprive him, yet he boasts he had a participation in the revolution, the grand declaration of which was, that we hold it to be self-evident that mankind are born "equal." This Judge, who denies human rights, declares that a monarchy may be free, and a republic in slavery—and he is uniformly attached to a republican government! This monster in politics, is the last man who ought to mention the revolution, or his participation in it, must call to the public mind the illicit commerce which he carried on with the enemy, and his breach of confidence as a member of Congress. He ought to be the last to mention property, because it must recall to the public memory the mode by which he obtained the property he holds. Liberty should have never been defiled by his utterance of the name. The late Congress presented a testimony of the estimation in which he stands with his fellow citizens—The members of Maryland sought unanimously to remove him from their district as a Judge. The members of Pennsylvania, unanimously opposed his being sent to disturb and degrade justice in Pennsylvania.—His holding a seat on the bench is the most convincing argument that could be produced of the error of that principle which now constitutes the tenure of the judiciary office. His character as a man and a judge, proves, that the office of a judge, like that of any other magistrate should be subject to a periodical test when his conduct might be investigated at the tribunal of his superiors—the people.
In the bickerings of party animosity Americans do not sufficiently value the unvalued happiness they enjoy, nor as habitually, as they should, ascribe this happiness to its proper causes. For twenty years we have enjoyed uninterrupted peace, during which period, property has regularly risen in value, agriculture has improved, manufactures have advanced, commerce has extended, and our numbers nearly doubled. Private pursuit is not fettered by a single shackle, there are no monopolies, and the conscience of every man is free. Taxes are lighter than in any nation on earth while labor is more productive, and the means of living well and acquiring an independence by honest means greater.
To what are these pre-eminent blessings to be ascribed, but to that system of government, which we alone have adopted? To that system which, acknowledging the people the fountain of all power, has wisely placed in their hands effectual restraints against its abuse. Here the people choose their rulers and at short periods. In other countries either the people have no participation in the government, or the participation is nominal and a mere shadow. Here it is a powerful reality in its energetic exercise as awful to the vicious as friendly to those that are virtuous.
No wonder then that men, who have corrupt and selfish views to answer, have in all ages and countries been inimical to a true representative government. No wonder that men in this country of this description, some by open hostility, but more by insidious stratagem, and principally by efforts to undermine the characters of the best friends of the people, struggle incessantly to destroy the liberties of their country! Nat. Intell.
Portsmouth. TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1803. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. Another week has expired, and we still continue in uncertainty respecting the issue of the controversy between Great-Britain and France.—Our intelligence is not later than that given on Tuesday last; unless we give credence to the flying report received by the way of St. Johns and New-York, mentioned in the succeeding article. It is not improbable, if the New-Brunswick arrival has brought accounts as late as the 10th May, that they announce the pacific termination of the negotiation.
NO WAR. There are accounts from St. Johns, (N. B.) of the arrival there of the British ship Lord Macartney, in 25 days from Portsmouth, England, with news, of May 10th, of the accommodation of the differences between Great-Britain and France. A letter from Staunton, (Vir.) dated June 6th says, a gentleman just arrived from Sciota, informs, that a few days before he left the town of Chillicothe, the Indians murdered five families in the neighbourhood. The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was adjourned on Thursday last, to meet in Boston on the Second Wednesday in January next. During this short session no less than sixty-five public and private acts have passed; all which have received the approbation of His Excellency the Governor.
Last Friday, being the anniversary of the Festival of St. JOHN, the Brethren of Masonry met under the Right Worshipful Grand Master, Brother THOMAS THOMPSON, at the State-House; when, after transacting the business of the Grand Lodge, they went in procession to the Assembly-Room, where an elegant dinner was prepared, and the day was celebrated with high felicity. After dinner the Lodge proceeded back in the same order, round the town, to the State-House.—The following SONG was composed for the occasion, by Brother WENTWORTH:—
MASONIC SONG. ON THE FESTIVAL OF ST. JOHN. Tune—Sweet is the Ship that's under sail. SWEET Charity, with thy meek eye, That raises all our sympathy, In ev'ry Mason's heart is found. Whilst Brethren we will sing our lay, With praises celebrate the day. Great Architect, whose power divine Fills every Brother Mason's mind, Inspire a Mason, in his lay, To celebrate the joyful day. To you, our noble Master Grand We all extend a Brother's hand— A Brother's heart a Mason owns. To you my Royal Arch we sing, Our tribute hither also bring: Grand Templar too in solemn state, Revolving the decrees of fate. Join every Mason in the lay That celebrates the joyful day. My worthy Master on the plane, The lofty Temple's solemn frame— Excelling in thy skill to rear, With rule and square, divinely taught, With rectitude his heart is fraught; A Mason has an honest zeal, A Brother for a Brother feels. Then join a Brother in the lay That celebrates the joyful day. A brother fellow craft I view, Improving in his work anew— To gain a Master's high degree. A Mason's prize is truly great, And kings in all their princely state, Like you have work'd that prize to gain. Then join the Master in his lay, And celebrate the joyful day. We on the Level and the Square, With our Apprentices always share— Our labors and our skill divine. Our boundless CHARITY extends To Mason's wife, the child or friend; With Charity his heart will glow. Then join with raptures in the lay, That celebrates the joyful day.
ANECDOE. An American Tar with a hump-back being met by a British Naval Officer in a street in London, who accosted him with, "what have ye here Jack," clapping his hand on the hump—the Tar replied "Bunker Hill, for at your Service!"—the mention of Bunker-hill and the recollection of so much royal blood spilt by the hands of a Yankee Militia, stopped the officer from asking any more questions.
Marine Articles. Port of Portsmouth—June 28, 1803. Friday arrived here ship Samson, Capt. Tibbetts, 30 days from Demerara: left there brig George Washington, Capt. Moore; brig Gov. Strong, Capt. Boardman; sck'r Resolution, Capt. McClain; and sck'r Sally, Capt. Oram, all of this port: brig Capt. Bunter, of Newbury-port; ship Capt. Allen, of Boston; a single deck ship from the Eastward, with lumber; and sloop Eagle, Holmes, of Stonington, (Conn.) all well, to sail in ten days. Died on board the Gov. Strong, at Demerara, the mate; Mr. Tripe, and three of the Seamen.
MARRIED. In this town, Mr. Reuben Twombly, to Miss Joanna Coffey. DIED. At Demerara, Capt. John Chase, of Kennebec.—Mr. Thomas W. Cushing, aged 23, son of John Cushing, Esq. of Berwick. At Boston, Capt. George Mead. In New-York, during the last week, there were but 21 deaths. The N. Y. Gazette says, "the city at present is unusually healthy, and the deaths are considerably less than during the winter months."
FESTIVAL. The fourth day of July next, being the anniversary of American Independence, will be celebrated in this town at Capt. Whidden's Assembly-Room, where all TRUE REPUBLICANS are invited to join the Festival. The subscription is still open at N. S. & W. Peirce's Book-Store, Congress-street.

DOCTOR RAWSON'S Genuine Anti-Bilious and Stomachic BITTERS. Prepared by Thomas H. Rawson, M. C. M. S. New-London, (Conn.) For which discovery he obtained a Patent from the President of the U. States, in July, 1802.
THE vast demand for these BITTERS, and their efficacy are so universally known and acknowledged, that little need be said in an advertisement. Perhaps no medicine in the world is so useful and proper for a domestic family medicine. They are, the greatest restorative and corrector of the digestive organs, and purifier of the blood, of any medicine ever offered the public. The following are some of the most prominent complaints in which these Bitters are efficacious, and so universally admired, viz. Indigestion, Debility, Head-aches, Swoonings, Dizziness, Faintings, Tremblings, Lowness of Spirits, Palpitations, Drawlings, Bilious Congestions, Costiveness, Diarrheas, Dysenteries, Gravel, Hysterical and Hypochondriacal Affections, Worms, Agues, &c. THE Patentee having an aversion to pompous puffing, and certificates of cures accompanying almost every medicine offered the public, has hitherto strictly forbidden his agents the insertion of any of these numberless certificates and letters of uncommon cures of this medicine. But they following coming from such a source, and the character of the man who requests its publicity being so substantially vouched for by three respectable Clergymen, a Judge of the County Court, and a number of characters of the first respectability, and countersigned by Governor Trumbull, that he should think himself blamable in preventing its publicity. East-Haddam, April 7, 1803.
Doctor RAWSON, Sir—Enclosed are two certificates. My witness as respects the one to which I have made oath, are sufficiently explained in the certificate. The other which respects my moral character, I with might have equal publicity; for the benefit of those who labor under distressing and complicated bodily infirmities, and who, unacquainted with my character, might not give sufficient credence to my statement as to induce a trial of the medicine. I am, Sir, your's, respectfully, WILLIAM BURKE.
I WILLIAM BURKE, of East-Haddam, County of Middlesex, and State of Connecticut, hereby certify, that I was for about ten years laboring under distressing and complicated diseases of body, having frequent recurrences of severe head-ache, and almost constantly in pain, either in my joints, bones or small of my back, which was uniformly weak; my bowels unseated moved by some gentle laxative, continually costive, and at short intervals so exercised with cholics that I could not for days together sustain myself; my stomach four, and appetite weak at the best; and to crown this catalogue of maladies I was frequently afflicted with that distressing and formidable disease the Gravel. I found very little relief, and that but temporary, from Medical applications, until urged by my friends, who from like complaints had found relief in the use of Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachic Bitters—I procured a box, and began the use of them, in a resolute manner, and soon experienced their good effects. I made use of no other medicine, and in a few weeks was restored to as good a state of health as is common to a man of my age, being about fifty years old. I have now for several months enjoyed my health; my appetite is remarkably good, and I eat any kind of solid food without reserve, and digest it well, and I endure exercise to admiration without being fatigued. I further certify that I have voluntarily and unrequested by Doctor Rawson or his friends, now come forward to make oath to this certificate, hereby requesting the Doctor to give it as much publicity as possible, having an anxious desire that my fellow-citizens, laboring under similar calamities, may make trial of a medicine, which thro' the blessing of God, has wrought on me such wonders. WILLIAM BURKE. Dated at New-London, April 6, 1803. STATE OF CONNECTICUT, ss. New-London, April 6, 1803. Personally appeared William Burke, the signor of the above, and made solemn oath that the aforesaid declaration by him made, is just and true in every particular, to the best of his knowledge and belief.
Sworn before me, RICHARD LAW, Mayor of the City of New-London. EAST-HADDAM, Nov. 27, 1803. We the subscribers, inhabitants of the town of East-Haddam, in the County of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, hereby certify that we have long been acquainted with Mr. William Burke, of said East-Haddam, and that in our opinion he is a man of strict honesty and integrity, and as such, is a worthy member of society, and a good citizen.

A CONTENTED MIND.
I WISH not fortune's frown or smile; I joy not much in earthly joys; I seek not state, I seek not style; I am not fond of fancy's toys; I rest to please with what I have, I wish no more, no more I crave, I quake not at the thunder's crack, I tremble not at noise of war, I swoon not at the noise of wrack, I shrink not at a blazing far; I fear not loss I hope not gain; I envy none, I none disdain. I see ambition never pleas'd, I see some talents starv'd in Rore; I see gold's drooping feldom eas'd, I see e'en Midas gape for more. I neither want, nor yet abound; Enough's a feast; content is crown'd. I feign not friendship where I hate, I tawn not on the great in show; I prize, I prize a mean estate, Neither too lofty, nor too low; This, this is all my choice, my cheer, A mind content a conscience clear.

The Rural Loiterer, No. 5.
And if thy brother be waxen poor, or fallen into decay with thee; then thou shalt re- lieve him; yea, though he be a stranger or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. Lev. xxv. 35. BENEFICENCE admits of an unlimited and universal extension; and there is no mortal, however indigent in circumstances, but is capable of performing kind and bene- volent actions;—of conferring happiness upon his fellow mortals;—and of, sometimes, raising the forlorn head of misfortune and adversity, to behold the sunshine of com- petency, and to drink of the rill of prosper- ity. We daily view persons, whom the gripping hand of misfortune has reduced to want and beggary; and by granting a tem- porary relief to their wants, we may partake of a feast of grateful and heart-enobling sen- sations; which the grovelling avaricious never enjoy; with which the frozen heart of the miser never braces.
Beneficence, thou source of pleasure, Whence each blest emotion flows; Superior to Peruvian treasure; Loveliest plant on earth that grows. Opportunities of exercising beneficence are peculiar to no place; to no particular situa- tion, but are infinitely diversified; and bene- fits may be conferred wherever the human race are found. As the cheering influence of the sun raises the plants in spring, to a beneficent, conferred with discretion, revives the heart of the sorrowful son of adversity. But the avaricious will say, I cannot deter- mine, upon what objects it is proper to con- fer benefits. Then inform yourself, or, se- lect those with whom you are acquainted. Is there no youth, whose budding genius needs the assistance of education, to expand the lovely flower, that it may receive all the rays of knowledge, and wave in the sunshine of science? Tell me, thou miserly wretch, whose gold presses the side of the canvas bag, dost thou not regret, that thy gripping fist withheld the forlorn ore from the beg- ging hand, to amass a heap, with which thy whitened locks admonishes thee, thou loon small part? Would not thy happiness have been far superior to any thou hast tasted, if thou hadst rendered assistance to thy "bro- ther" when he had "waxen poor, and had fallen into decay with thee?" Think, O man, how soon the universal tyrant of man- kind will lodge thy body in the silent tomb, and cover thy head in one eternal night! Think, and occupy the moments of life as they fly, in making thy brethren happy. And then, when this dream of life shall be about to close, thou wilt sink in tranquility to the mansion of dust, undisturbed by the ghost of the oppressed, and unabashed by the cries of the orphan. My text enjoins, that man ought, not only to "relieve" a "brother"; if he be "waxen poor," but even a "stranger"; "Yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner, that he may live with thee." But, alas! how ill does the conduct of most men correspond with this commandment of the Jewish Legislator! Inseparable to the heavenly satisfaction, which follows a deed of beneficence; we find persons, who, like the caterpillar, provide a covering for themselves, but refuse to grant the smallest relief to the voice of misery, and the cries of poverty. But he who, like the divine Author of nature, delights in acts of beneficence, will receive the "stranger," and extend his hand to the miserable, he will consider fortune as an inconstant mistress, and, therefore, while she smiles, he will exert his influence for the good of mankind; he will receive his "brother" under his roof, although he be "waxen poor." Oh! yes, whom fortune are careless in her bosom; who recline on her downy couch; think of the pale and enfee- bled, whose humble cottages have fallen into decay; and, animated by a noble bene- ficence, inquire into the situation of the "stranger." Thus shalt thou imitate the Author of thy being; and, when those flee- ing joys, which mankind fondly expect to find in wealth, shall disappear at the ap- proach of age and infirmity, the sweet re- membrance of those truly noble deeds, shalt spend thee, through the glooms of death, up to the regions of eternal day.
MAGNANIMITY.
QUEEN ANN, wife of King Henry the eighth of England, and mother of Queen Elizabeth, as she was going to be beheaded in the Tower, seeing a gentleman of the King's privy chamber, called him to her, and with a cheerful countenance, and a soul undismayed at approaching death, said to him, "Remember me to the King, and tell him, he is constant in advancing me to the greatest honours. From a private gentle- woman he made me a Marchioness, from that degree made me a Queen, and now, be- cause he can raise me no higher in this world, is translating me to heaven, to wear a crown of martyrdom in eternal glory."
