EIGHTH 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 fifth of November one thousand eight hundred and four.
AN ACT Further providing for the government of the district of Louisiana.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That all that part of the country ceded by France to the U. States, under the general name of Louisiana, which by an act of the last session of Congress was erected into a separate district, to be called the district of Louisiana, shall henceforth be known and designated by the name and title of the territory of Louisiana, the government whereof shall be organized & administered as follows;
The executive power shall be vested in a governor, who shall reside in said territory, and hold his office during the term of three years, unless sooner removed by the President of the United States: He shall be commander in chief of the militia of the said territory, superintendant ex officio of Indian affairs, and shall appoint and commission all officers in the same, below the rank of general officers; shall have power to grant pardons for offences against the same, and reprieves for those against the United States, until the decision of the President thereon shall be known.
Sec. 2. There shall be a secretary, whose commission shall continue in force for four years, unless sooner revoked by the President of the United States, who shall reside in the said territory, and whose duty it shall be under the direction of the governor, to record and preserve all the papers and proceedings of the executive, and all the acts of the governor and of the legislative body, and to transmit authentic copies of the same every six months to the President of the United States. In case of a vacancy of the office of governor, the government of the said territory shall be exercised by the secretary.
Sec. 3. The legislative power shall be vested in the governor and in three judges, or a majority of them, who shall have power to establish inferior courts in the said territory, and prescribe their jurisdiction and duties, and to make all laws which they may deem conducive to the good government of the inhabitants thereof: Provided however: That no law shall be valid which is inconsistent with the constitution and laws of the United States, or which shall lay any person under restraint or disability on account of his religious opinions, profession or worship, in all of which he shall be free to maintain his own and not be burthened with those of another. And provided also, that in all criminal prosecutions, the trial shall be by a jury of twelve good and lawful men of the vicinage, and in all civil cases of the value of one hundred dollars, the trial shall be by jury, if either of the parties require it. And the governor shall publish throughout the said territory, all the laws which may be made as aforesaid, and shall from time to time report the same to the President of the United States, to be laid before Congress, which if disapproved by Congress shall thenceforth cease and be of no effect.
Sec. 4. There shall be appointed three judges, who shall hold their offices for the term of four years, who, or any two of them, shall hold annually two courts within the said district, at such place as will be most convenient to the inhabitants thereof in general, shall possess the same jurisdiction which is possessed by the judges of the Indiana territory, and shall continue in session until all the business depending before them shall be disposed of.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That for the more convenient distribution of justice, the prevention of crimes and injuries, and execution of process criminal and civil, the governor shall proceed from time to time as circumstances may require, to lay out those parts of the territory in which the Indian title shall have been extinguished, into districts subject to such alterations as may be found necessary, and he shall appoint thereto such magistrates and other civil officers, as he may deem necessary, whose several powers and authorities, shall be regulated and defined by law.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the governor, secretary and judges to be appointed by virtue of this act shall respectively receive the same compensation for their services as are by law established for similar offices in the Indiana territory, to be paid quarterly out of the treasury of the United States.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the governor, secretary, judges, justices of the peace, and all other officers, civil or military, before they enter upon the duties of their respective offices, shall take an oath, or affirmation, to support the constitution of the United States, and for the faithful discharge of the duties of their office; the governor before the President of the United States, or before a judge of the supreme or district court of the United States, or before such other person as the President of the United States shall authorize to administer the same; the secretary and judges before the governor; and all other officers before such person as the governor shall direct.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That the governor, secretary and judges, to be appointed by virtue of this act, and all the additional officers authorized thereby, or by the act for erecting Louisiana into two territories, and providing for the temporary government thereof, shall be appointed by the President of the United States, in the recess of the Senate, but shall be nominated at their next meeting for their advice and consent.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That the laws and regulations, in force in the said district, at the commencement of this act, and not inconsistent with the provisions thereof, shall continue in force, until altered, modified or repealed by the legislature.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That so much of an act, entitled "An act erecting Louisiana into two territories, and providing for the temporary government thereof," as is repugnant to this act, shall from and after the fourth day of July next, be repealed, on which said fourth day of July, this act shall commence and have full force.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Batavia.
The following description of Batavia is from a young gentleman there, in a letter to his friend.
IT is not only of this quarter, but of every part of the East-Indies, that people of Europe form a very strange idea. You seem to think, that here we find our money ready coined in the mountains, and that we trample upon pearls like sand under our feet, while, alas! here, as well as in Europe, one must gain one's wealth by the sweat of one's brow. India is not at present what it was for the first adventurers; & though some philosophers maintain that the moral world grows worse, & worse, it is only to the commercial world that this principle is truly applicable. With respect to the state of the military in this part, I can assure you, that a simple Ensign would blush to be found in the streets on foot, though the hire of a carriage would devour one fourth of his day's pay. In fact, to obtain respect, officers in general lay aside the military costume, to appear in habits of silk, embroidered with gold and silver. These expenses they are only able to bear through the courtesy of the inhabitants. A young man, once invited, is soon introduced into the best houses in Batavia. I may say that I have fared sumptuously every day since I have been here, without any trouble except getting into the carriages which have been sent to convey me to these scenes of hospitality.
These considerations would have detained me in this city, but my anxiety to obtain the salubrious air of the country has outweighed them. That of the city is so unwholesome, that it is no strange thing, very frequently, to hear that a person is dead and buried, with whom you may have dined only three days before—even a glass of pure wine, taken when one is unwell, may occasion instant death, so that here, even when well, we are compelled to observe a regimen just as when we are sick in Europe; for this purpose I must observe, that night is not less dangerous than day, as an exposure to the moon's rays is equally as fatal as those of the sun, from ten in the morning till three in the afternoon.
In fact the heat is so intense, that even a shirt is intolerable to sleep in. Our Winter also is little better than four months constant rain, in the intervals of which, when the clouds are penetrated by the sun, the season becomes so unwholesome, that the population is, as it were threatened with death.
Still, perhaps, there is not a city in Europe, where the buildings are more magnificent and regular. The luxury of the furniture is nearly equal to that of the Princes and Sovereigns of the European Continent, as gold and silver abound here in the houses of the most obscure individuals.
The time and manner of our visits are so different from yours, that I must inform you of the particulars.
We generally rise about day break, the day being pretty equal all the year round; it is mostly broad day light at six in the morning, so that by six, people have taken their coffee, smoked their tobacco, and are generally out upon their business—this is the best time to meet with every man of business, or even to obtain an audience of the Governor-General. At nine as the heat begins to be intense, the streets are quite clear; dinner is over soon after noon; after which seldom taking above two glasses of wine, and smoking a pipe of tobacco, every one retires to rest as regularly as if it were night. In this interval which lasts till five in the afternoon, the most profound silence is observed! then again, tea, business and visits, occupy attention till nine at night, the common hour for supper.
This city unites some of the whole human species; but the Chinese are most numerous. My hair-dresser is one of this description; I do not understand a word he says; but his singular gestures are most amusing; he is the completest pantomime I ever saw.
Europeans make their fortunes here principally by their marriages with the native females; but it is always on condition that they never remove out of the country. As companions, and for want of education and knowledge, they are most intolerable; besides the husband must reconcile himself with the continual chewing of a root called pinang , the red juice of which is perpetually streaming from the lips down the chin:—this however disgusting, they can no more dispense with, than an European sailor could dispense with his tobacco. Their language is a mixture of the Malay and the Dutch, and their dress is as ridiculous as their manners.
A society has lately been established at Berlin for the purpose of sending out missionaries to Africa to propagate Christian knowledge among the negroes. (Scotch pop.)
POLITICAL.
From the National Intelligencer.
"When freedom calls, none should from danger start, But take a noble, a decisive part."
THAT liberty is more easily acquired than preserved, is a fact too well authenticated in history to admit of the least doubt. The Grecians, the Romans & many other nations, like the Americans, once enjoyed the blessings of free government, but alas! a Philip, a Cæsar, a Cromwell and a Bonaparte , arose, and either by violence or by intrigue, assumed the executive chair; and the people were made to believe that "the calm of despotism" was preferable to "the tempestuous sea of liberty."
Although from the recent triumph of republicanism in this country, as well from the known patriotism of those distinguished characters who are now at the head of the government, we have no reason to fear that our liberties are in immediate danger; still when it is recollected that a faction has existed in this country whose objects has ever been to subvert the constitution and establish on its ruins a monarchy or an aristocracy ; it is sufficient to shew the necessity of vigilance, on the part of the Republicans, in order to counteract those dangerous machinations, and be enabled thereby to transmit, unimpaired to posterity the blessings of freedom, which we now enjoy.
The idea of a monarchical faction existing in this country, has by some been considered as an idle chimera; but by taking a retrospective view of the conduct of the party now in opposition to the administration, we shall find "proof strong as holy writ" to shew that such a junto has existed since the peace of 1783, and that their object has been to destroy the liberties of their country. In that august body which composed the Convention, we find certain characters indirectly advocating monarchical principles. A consolidation of the states, and a president and senate for life was strongly contended for; but by the firmness and patriotism of a large majority of the Convention these plans were rejected with indignation.—We next find this junto endeavoring to destroy the constitution (immediately on its going into operation) by various attempts to assimilate our government to that of Great Britain; which a pre-eminent character among this party, declared to be "the most stupendous fabric of human invention." An American nobility was however yet wanting "to be put into a hole," in order "to save the people from their most dangerous enemies, to save them from themselves." This useful order, we have reason to believe, was in secret conclave, elected about the years 1798 or 1799, from among those gentlemen, who had so patriotically speculated in the public funds, in order that riches and birth might no longer be deprived of their just rights; and they were soon to be decorated with stars, ribbons and garters for the purpose of distinguishing these " well born " from the swinish multitude .
Flattering as appearances at one time were to the ambitious views of the aristocratic party, in consequence of the establishment of the funding system ; and likewise in consequence of the dispute with France and the intimacy with England, they however found that serious obstacles existed which would retard, if not altogether put a stop to their schemes of self aggrandizement. *These obstacles principally arose from the firmness displayed by several patriotic members of Congress in opposing the destructive measures of the then administration; and likewise from the zeal which the republican prints manifested in defence of the rights of the people. In order therefore to put a stop at once to enquiry and investigation, every person, who dared to disapprove of any measure of government was denounced as a French partisan, a jacobin and a disorganizer. The junto did not however stop here; for indirect violation of the constitution, an act was passed whereby the liberty of speech and of the press was destroyed. Fearing however that this engine of oppression would be not sufficient to deter freemen from the exercise of their unalienable rights, a mercenary army was raised for no other object (that can be otherwise accounted for) than that of overawing the republicans—in a word a system of terror and prosecution was adopted which was hardly excelled during the reign of Robespierre.—But thank heaven, it was but of short duration; for no sooner did the period arrive, when the power returned to the people, than they, filled with indignation at these outrages on their sovereignty, compelled those men to abandon the helm of state who had so shamefully abused the confidence which had been reposed in them. Exceptionable as the conduct of this junto was, while they were in power, it has been no less so since they were deprived of it. It is well known that at the period when Mr. Jefferson was placed at the head of government, almost every office was in the
hands of the partisans of the late administration; most of whom had been active in calumniating him & every other distinguished republican. The president however, and those at the head of the executive departments, with a degree of moderation and liberality unparalleled in history, have suffered most of these persons to remain in office although at the risk of their popularity, for "the public voice has long declared itself and built open the doors of honor and confidence," exclusively to republicans —Notwithstanding this conciliatory disposition on the part of the administration, we find many even among those retained in office, so destitute of principle and gratitude as to join with those who are daily misrepresenting the measures of government, and calumniating the man whom nine tenths of his fellow citizens have delighted to honor . This implacable and irreconcilable disposition, can proceed only from the hopes which they still entertain of seeing the leaders of their party once more at the head of affairs. To accomplish which no means have been omitted, however dishonorable and even criminal , as a proof of which, witness their attempts during the last year to excite a civil war and thereby produce a dissolution of the union . It is a fact that cannot be denied, that but a short time since the most sanguine hopes were entertained that the New England states would separate from the union: nay many of the leaders of this faction openly boasted of soon having it in their power to invade the Southern States; and by declaring freedom to the slaves, hoped to see re-acted in this devoted part of the union, those scenes of blood and carnage which has taken place in St. Domingo.
Americans! From the foregoing statement of facts can there remain the least doubt in your minds that a monarchical faction exists in this country who have long been engaged in a treasonable conspiracy against the constitution and indivisibility of the republic . This insidious junto , although hitherto defeated, have by no means abandoned this nefarious object. They are now active in attempting to form divisions among the republicans; to effect which they seem willing to disclaim the denomination which they have so long assumed, and to adopt one less unpopular.—But, fellow citizens, can you be imposed on by such deceptive arts? Have our political opponents changed their principles? Have they evinced a desire to harmonize with real republicans ? Or have they not long since rejected the olive branch , and dashed the cup of reconciliation from their lips? With certain characters they will no doubt unite: I mean with traitors and apostates —with such persons they seem willing to form " an union of all honest men "—but they are still the bitter and irreconcilable enemies of our patriotic Chief Magistrate, and of every other distinguished republican. Fellow citizens, be on your guard, not only against the designs of your avowed enemies, but likewise against the infinite arts of those persons who, even under the garb of republicanism are endeavoring to excite total jealousies among you . In a word, the crisis is important , and the republicans should therefore act with a degree of firmness and decision worthy of the cause for which they so nobly contended. CATO.
From the True American.
Mr. Wilson,
Among the number who fought for the Independence of America, I was one—and my toils and dangers were repaid by 25 in the pound for the trifling amount of my wages.—Yet I prized our liberties so highly that I never grudged my services or sacrifices, but considered myself amply repaid in the prosperity and happiness of my country. But I must confess that my patience is often well nigh exhausted, when I hear perverse Old Tories decrying our government as feeble, fluctuating, and contemptible, and intimating that we shall either have to return to our allegiance to Great Britain, or establish a form of government similar to theirs, which they describe as dignified, energetic, and free!—Tell these men, if you please, that it is at least the opinion of one Old Soldier that the American form of government is incomparably the best that the world has ever witnessed—that the present administration of it is wise and just—and that those who are continually cavilling at the defects either of our government or its administration, and lauding British forms and measures, are welcome to ship themselves off as soon as they please to enjoy the Leeks and Onions of Egypt under her modern Pharaoh. —As for us plain, simple and hard-working men, we would prefer living where we can enjoy in peace the fruits of our labors, to being trampled on, robbed, and insulted by Kings, Nobles, Priests, and Standing Armies.

ALBANY, (N. Y.) JUNE 28.
A gentleman of our acquaintance, from the Westward, has obligingly furnished us with the following singular anecdote:
About five weeks past, a stranger of a tolerably genteel appearance, called on a Mr. Willis Howe, a Gold-Smith, in the town of Otsego, and after enjoining secrecy engaged him to engrave a plate for printing Ten Dollar Bank Bills of the Farmer's Bank, and advanced him twenty dollars, and promised when the plate was delivered to pay him a much larger sum. At the time fixed for finishing the plate, the stranger called, but not being done, he concluded to tarry in the vicinity until it was completed. In the mean time Mr. How communicated the affair to three of his neighbors, who met at the time he was expected, and being discovered by him, he fled with precipitation, and left in the possession of Mr. How, his Portemanteau, a Press, and two kinds of Ink.
Our informant added that he saw the articles left, but there was nothing by which they could discover the stranger's name.
NEW-YORK, JUNE 29.
Murder.—A man by the name of Archabald Graham, was stabbed on Wednesday night, in Nelson's Alley, who died a few minutes afterwards. Joseph Butcher was also stabbed at the corner of Henry and Bedlow-street, whose wound, it is feared, will likewise prove mortal. These crimes are supposed to have been committed by Francisco Son, a native of Portugal. We understand, that after these men were stabbed Francisco returned to his lodgings extremely agitated, stripped off his waistcoat which was disfigured with blood and went on board a French privateer lying in the stream. Information that this man was suspected of committing the crimes was sent on board; and the lieutenant, i.e. the absence of the captain, immediately put him in irons. Yesterday morning he was delivered over to the civil authority of the city, and has undergone an examination at the office of Police. We have not learnt what positive testimony has appeared against him—the presumptive, however, is very strong.
July 1. The ship Mississippi, Capt. Skidmore, arrived at this port last evening in 30 days from Nantes, having on board his Excellency R. R. Livingston (late minister from the U. States to the French government) his lady, and suite. The vessel left Nantes on the 27th of May. Our Paris papers by her are to the 20th, inclusive, and would have furnished some interesting intelligence had not the most important part of their contents been anticipated by late arrivals from London and Liverpool.
We learn verbally, and by the papers in our possession, that Bonaparte arrived at Milan on the 8th May, for the purpose of being crowned King of Italy, and would pass through Brussels on his return; that the Brest fleet had not failed; that the existence of a treaty between Russia and G. Britain was not known in France; and that no new movements of consequence had taken place in any part of Europe.
Madame Jerome Bonaparte had arrived at Amsterdam, but was not permitted to land, and the ship was ordered to sail immediately; destination not known.
Mr. Livingston is the bearer of bills drawn by the American minister at Paris on the treasury of the U. States under the treaty of Louisiana; and it is supposed that all the creditors under that treaty will receive their bills in the course of the summer.
The Mississippi has on board 150,000 francs in bills on the French treasury, for the relief of distressed Frenchmen in America.
In the suite of the American Minister are Mr. Peter R. Livingston and Mr. King, son of the Hon. Rufus King. M. Adv.
From a London paper.
The Moniteur of the 30th ult. contains the following strong reflections upon the conduct of Russia: "The preponderance of Russia in the Morea continues to increase in an alarming manner. There is even a report of its obliging the Sublime Porte to renew with it the scandalous Treaty of 1798, according to which, without any reciprocity, the Porte would alienate its political independence entirely in favour of Russia. Very different is the case between Russia and Persia; the Russians, beaten at Araxe, have lost the fruits of a two years campaign in one day; and were compelled to retire with precipitation towards their own frontiers, with the loss of three parts of their artillery. The Emperor of Persia, full of energy and resolution, defends his estate and his independence in person. Twice has he sent Ambassadors to the Porte to solicit succour, or, at least, its intervention; but that feeble Government has not only been deaf to his representations, but even pretended to doubt the authority of the messengers, and compelled them to leave Constantinople in an abrupt manner. Whatever may be the views and the ambition of the Russians, it is easy to see that they must yield to the cavalry and artillery of Fatali Schah. Hostilities were to recommence on the 1st of April: and it cannot be conceived what object the Russians can have in fomenting a division between the Porte and the Persians, its neighbours."
Egypt.—The complete defeat of the Ottoman army in Egypt has been communicated in official dispatches of Feb. 5, transmitted to Constantinople. The immediate consequence of the victory was a capitulation signed by Hourscid Pacha, the Turkish Governor of Egypt, surrendering to the Bays the possession of Cairo.
AMHERST, (N. H.) JULY 2.
LIGHTNING.
On Tuesday last was experienced in this vicinity, as severe thunder and lightning as has perhaps been known for many years. At several places, its effects were severely felt.
In Merrimac, it struck the barn of Lt. Henry Fields, on the top, and passed off in two different directions, nearly destroying one end of the barn. From the barn, one part took an easterly direction, through a shed, where it killed nine sheep and one cow; the other went southerly about 30 yards, to an apple-tree, where it killed two hogs, and set on fire a parcel of dry wood, lying near it.—From hence it took different directions, making deep furrows in the ground in its course. One part disappeared in a pile of wood at no great distance, while the other continued by the door of the house, about 50 yards, when it struck a buttonwood tree, and after passing up the same about 15 feet, spent itself in the air. Some pieces of the barn were found at the distance of 112 yards from the place from whence they were removed by the lightning. The family in the house were sensibly affected by the shock, though none were essentially injured.

Portsmouth, TUESDAY JULY 9, 1805.
Fourth of July. On Thursday last, the anniversary of that glorious day, when America, from humble and oppressed Colonies, putting off the galling domination of Great Britain, and assuming the reins of self-government, became free, independent and exalted amongst the nations of the earth, was celebrated in this town with patriotic enthusiasm, with national pride and zeal. The graceful display of colors from the shipping and different parts of the town—the founding bell—and the loud speaking cannon, testified the joy and gratitude our fellow citizens felt on this gladdening occasion. Thus to commemorate the principles which produced this splendid epoch in the annals of our country, will be ever grateful to the heart of the American Citizen, whilst liberty shall be preferred to slavery, or the dignity of man shall triumph over his abasement. It produces in our minds a recurrence to principles which are the peculiar boast of Americans; and whilst it tends to invigorate with holy fervor the bosom of the aged disciple of Liberty, it stimulates the breast of the youthful patriot with the noble incentive to live free or die.
16. Agriculture, Commerce, the Arts and Sciences —Sources of national prosperity, wealth, respectability and improvement. 17. The American Fair —We would there were not one but should deserve “For virtue and true beauty of the soul, For honesty and decent carriage, A right good husband.”

EUROPEAN NEWS. BY the brig Neptune, Capt. Babige, from Liverpool, we have received London papers of the date of May 25, 1805;—seven days later than before received.—They, however, furnish no additional news of primary importance. RUMORS were in circulation of negotiation between France and Russia for the restoration of general tranquility, one of them goes so far as to state the following as the grounds of basis on which Bonaparte is willing to enter into negotiation, viz:—“1st. The full recognition of his titles of Emperor of the French and King of Italy.—2d. The solemn guarantee of Great Britain and Russia to maintain himself and his family in the hereditary possession of his dignities and dominions.—3d. The unequivocal renunciation, on the part of the Princes of the House of Bourbon, of all rights and claims to the sovereignty of France.—and 4th. He engages, in return to leave Malta in the possession of England—and to cede to the Emperor Alexander and his heirs the sovereignty of the Republic of the Seven Islands.” It was stated, that large bets had been laid in Paris, and other parts of France, that a general peace will take place in less than twelve months.
Bonaparte was at Alexandria, (Italy), in May, and repaired to the celebrated plains of Marengo, where he inspected 30,000 troops assembled there. His Majesty was on horse back from ten in the morning, until seven in the evening, and tired no less than seven horses in the course of the day.

GENOA, it is said, is to form a part of the form a part of the new kingdom of Italy. The French military force to that country is estimated at 100,000 men, which is intended partly to frustrate any possibility of hostile enterprises, and partly to determine the frontiers of the new empire. THE Dey of Algiers, has been attacked, in the vicinity of the city, by four armed Turks. He was fired upon twice, and received ten wounds from their sabres, by which he lost two fingers of his left hand. This attempt to murder the Dey, is ascribed to the dearness of all for of provision, and which he had neglected to remedy. THE Brest fleet remained quiet in their roads. THE Ferrol fleet, of 12 sail, had attempted to put to sea; but Sir Robert Calder, who had but 6 sail by making signals, induced the Ferrol fleet to put back, presuming Sir Robert had another fleet in company.
At 11 o'clock the citizens repaired to St. John's Church, where after the performance of several pieces of well adapted music, by the Circean musical society, and an address to the throne of Grace by the Rev. Mr. WILLARD, the Declaration of our Independence was read in a forceful and impressive manner, and an Oration, chaste, spirited and luminous was pronounced by Mr. RICHARD EVANS, before a brilliant and respectable audience.—At half past two, his Excellency the GOVERNOR, accompanied by a number of the gentlemen of the town, went to Jefferson Hall, where he was received by every possible demonstration of respect, by upwards of an hundred of his fellow citizens, amongst whom were several of the Clergy, the Officers of the army stationed at Fort Constitution, and many gentlemen, strangers of distinction; where they partook of an excellent dinner, prepared by Mr. Chaffin, and served up in a manner which did credit to his taste.—THOMAS MANNING, Esq. presided, under whose direction, supported by Col. WOODWARD Vice President of the day—The following toasts and sentiments were drank, accompanied with songs.

Rochefort Squadron. —Letters of 22d May, from Nantz, mention the safe return to Rochefort of the Squadron which failed from thence for the West-Indies; having on board the contributions levied upon the English islands.—They add, the Rochefort Squadron has failed again on a secret expedition.

In South-Carolina, the present season promises abundance of cotton and rice; and provisions will also be plenty. Letters from Delaware and Maryland say they are now beginning their harvest; and that there is the prospect of the finest crop of wheat they have had these twenty years.
