National Legislature.
NINTH CONGRESS.....FIRST SESSION.
IN SENATE.
OF THE UNITED STATES.
MARCH 17, 1805.
Mr. Bradley from the Committee to whom was referred the application of Hamet Caramalli, ex-Bashaw of Tripoli, submitted the following REPORT.
"The ex-bashaw founds his claim on the United States, from his services and sufferings in their cause, and from his having been deceived and amused with the prospect of being placed on his throne, as legitimate sovereign of Tripoli, and frequently drawn from eligible situations for the purpose of be- ing made the dupe and instrument of policy, and finally sacrificed to misfor- tune and wretchedness.—The com- mittee, from a full investigation of the documents which have been laid be- fore Congress, with other evidence that has come within their knowledge, are enabled to lay before the Senate a brief statement of facts in relation to the ex-Bashaw, and the result of their deliberations thereon.
This unfortunate prince, by the treason and perfidy of his brother, the reigning Bashaw, was driven from his throne, an exile to the regency of Tu- nis; where the agents of the United States in the Mediterranean found him; and as early as August 1801, entered into a convention to co-ope- rate with him, the object of which, was to obtain a permanent peace with Tripoli, to place the ex-Bashaw on his throne, and procure indemnification for all expense in accomplishing the same. This agreement was renewed, in November following, with encou- ragement that the United States would persevere until they had effected the object; and in 1802, when the reign- ing Bashaw, had made overtures to the ex-Bashaw, to settle to him the two provinces of Derne and Bengazi, and when the ex-Bashaw was on the point of leaving Tunis, under an escort fur- nished him by the reigning Bashaw, the agents of the United States pre- vailed on him to abandon the offer, with assurance that the United States would effectually co-operate and place him on the throne of Tripoli.
The same engagements were re- newed in 1803, and the plan of co-ope- rations so arranged, that the ex-Ba- shaw by his own exertions and force, took possession of the province of Derne; but the American squadron, at that time under the command of commodore Morris, instead of improv- ing that favorable moment, to co-ope- rate with the ex-Bashaw, and to put an end to the war, unfortunately ab- bandoned the Barbary coast, and left the ex-Bashaw to contend solely with all the force of the reigning Bashaw, and who in consequence was obliged in the fore part of the year 1804, to give up his conquest of Derne, and fly from the fury of the usurper into Egypt. These transactions were from time to time, not only communicated by our agents to government, but were laid before Congress in Feb- ruary, 1804, in the documents accom- panying the report of the committee of claims on the petition of Mr. Eaton, late consul at Tunis, which commit- tee expressed their decided approba- tion of his official conduct, and to which report the committee beg leave to refer.
In full possession of the knowledge of these facts the government of the United States, in June, 1804, dis- patched commodore Barron, with a squadron into the Mediterranean, and in his instructions submitted to his en- tire discretion, the subject of availing himself of the co-operation of the ex- Bashaw, and referring him to Mr. Eaton, as an agent sent out by the gov- ernment for that purpose.
After commodore Barron had ar- rived on the station in September, eighteen hundred and four, he dis- patched Mr. Eaton and captain Hull into Egypt, to find the ex-Bashaw, with instructions to assure him that the commodore would take the most effectual measures with the forces un- der his command, to co-operate with him against the usurper, his brother, and to establish him in the regency of Tripoli. After encountering many difficulties and danger, the ex-Bashaw was found in Upper Egypt with the Mamalukes, and commanding the A- rabs; the same assurances were again
made to him, and a convention was reduced to writing; the stipulations of which had the same objects in view; the United States to obtain a permanent peace and their prisoners; the ex-Ba- shaw to obtain his throne. Under these impressions, and with the fullest confi- dence in the assurances he had received from agents of the U. States, and even from commodore Barron himself by one of his (the Bashaw's) secretaries, whom he had sent to wait on the commodore for that purpose, he gave up his pro- fects in Egypt abandoned his property in that country, constituted Mr. Eaton, general and commander in chief of his forces, and with such an army as he was able to raise and support, marched thro' the Lybian desert, suffering every hard- ship incident to such a perilous under- taking; and with his army commanded by general Eaton, aided by O'Bannon and Mann, three American officers, who shared with him the dangers and hard- ships of the campaign, and whose names their country will forever record with honor, attacked the city of Derne in the regency of Tripoli, on the twenty-sev- enth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and five, and after a well fought battle took the same; and for the first time, planted the American colors on the ramparts of a Tripolitan fort. And in several battles afterwards, one of which he fought without the aid of the Americans, (they having been restrai- ned by orders, not warranted by any pol- icy, issued as appears by Mr. Lear, the American consul,) defeated the army of the usurper, with great slaughter, main- tained his conquest, and without the haz- ard of a repulse, would have marched to the throne of Tripoli, had he been supported by the co-operation of the A- merican squadron, which in honour and good faith, he had a right to expect. The committee would here explicitly declare, that in their opinion, no blame ought to attach to commodore Barron, a wasting sickness, and consequent men- tal as well as bodily debility, had ren- dered him totally unable to exercise the duties of commanding the squadron, previous to this momentous crisis, and from which he has never recovered; and to this cause alone may be attribut- ed the final failure of the plan of co-ope- ration which appears to have been wise- ly concerted by the government, and hi- therto bravely executed by its officers.
But however unpleasant the task, the committee are compelled by the obliga- tions of truth and duty, to state further, that Mr. Lear, to whom was entrusted the power of negotiating the peace, appears to have gained a complete ascendancy o- ver the commodore, thus debilitated by sickness—or rather having assumed the command in the name of the commo- dore,* to have dictated every measure, to have paralized every military operation by sea and land—and finally without dis- playing the fleet or squadron before Tri- poli, without consulting even the safety of the ex-Bashaw or his army, against the opinion of all the officers of the fleet, so far as the committee have been able to obtain the same, and of commodore Rodgers (as appears from Mr. Lear's letter to the secretary of state, dated Syracuse harbor, July 5th, 1805) to have entered into a convention with the reigning bashaw, by which contrary to his instructions, he stipulated to pay him 60,000 dollars to abandon the ex-ba- shaw, and to withdraw all aid and as- sistance from his army. And although a stipulation was made that the wife and children of the ex-bashaw should be de- livered to him on his withdrawing from the territories of Tripoli, yet that stipu- lation has not been carried into execu- tion, and it is highly probable, was never intended to be. The committee forbear to make any comment on the im- propriety of the orders issued to Gener- al Eaton to evacuate Derne, five days previous to Mr. Lear's sailing from Ma- lta for Tripoli, to enter on his negotia- tion—and the honor of the nation for- bids any remarks on the unworthy at- tempt to compel the ex-bashaw and gen- eral Eaton, to give up and abandon their conquest, by withholding supplies from the army at Derne, eight days pre- vious to the commencement of the ne- gotiation—nor will the committee con- descend to enter into a consideration of pretended reasons, assigned by Mr. Lear to palliate his management of the affairs of the negotiation—such as the danger of the American prisoners in Tripoli, the unfitness of the ships for service, and the want of means to prosecute the war—they appear to the committee to have no foun- dation in fact, and are used rather as a veil to cover an inglorious deed, than solid reasons to justify the negotiator's
conduct. The committee are free to say, that in their opinion, it was in the power of the United States, with the force then employed, and at a small portion of the sixty thousand dollars, thus improperly expended, to have placed Hamet Caramalli, the rightful sovereign of Tripoli, on his throne— to have obtained their prisoners in perfect safety, without the payment of a cent, with assurance and proba- ble certainty of eventual remuneration for all expense—and to have establish- ed a peace with the Barbary powers, that would have been secure & per- manent, and which would have digni- fied the name and character of the American people.
Whatever Hamet, the ex bashaw, may have said in his letter of June 29th, 1805, to palliate the conduct which first abandoned and then ruin- ed him, the Senate cannot fail to dis- cern that he was then at Syracuse, in a country of strangers to his merits, and hostile to his nation and religion, and where every circumstance conspi- red to depress him—which together with the fear of starving left him scarcely a moral agent.
Upon these facts, and to carry into effect the principles of duty arising out of them, the only remuneration now left in the power of the United States to make, the committee herewith pre- sent a bill for the consideration of the Senate. The committee are confi- dent that the legislature of a free and Christian country, can never leave it in the power of a mahometan to say that they violate their faith or withhold the operation of justice from one who has fallen a victim to his unbounded confidence in their integrity and honor.
* Extract of a letter from Capt. Dent.
"It was generally believed by the officers in the Mediterranean, that Mr. Lear had a great ascendancy over the commodore in all his mea- sures relative to the squadron, and from frequent observations of Mr. Lear's intimacy with the commodore in his debilitated state, I am of the same opinion."
"I must here pay a tribute of jus- tice to commodore Rodgers, whose conduct during the negotiation on board, was mixed with that manly firmness and evident will to continue the war, if it could be done with pro- priety, while he displayed the mag- nanimity of an American; in declaring that we fought not for conquest, but to maintain our just rights and nation- al dignity, as fully convinced the ne- gotiators that we did not ask, but grant peace.
"You will pardon me if I here in- troduce a circumstance evincive of the spirit of our countrymen—At break- fast this morning, commodore Rodg- ers observed that if the Bashaw would consent to deliver up our countrymen without making peace, he would en- gage to give him two hundred thou- sand instead of sixty thousand dollars, and raise the difference between the two sums from the officers of the navy, who he was perfectly assured, would contribute to it with the highest satis- faction."
† Extract of a letter of commodore Rodgers.
"I never thought the prisoners were in danger."
‡ Extract from a letter of lieutenant Wormley, then a prisoner in Tripoli.
"I do not believe that there was any danger to be apprehended for our lives, even if general Eaton and Ha- met Bashaw had marched under the walls of Tripoli."

S. as follows:  "To the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. States:  "The inclosed letter from the minister plenipotentiary of the U. States at the court of London, contains interesting information on the subjects of my other message of this date. It is sent separately and confidentially, because its publication may discourage frank communications between our ministers generally and the governments with which they reside, and especially between the same ministers."  TH: JEFFERSON.  January 18, 1806.  The letter referred to in the foregoing message was read.  THURSDAY, FEB. 6.  A message, in writing, was received from the President of the U. S. by Mr. Coles, his secretary, as follows:  "To the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. States:  "Since the date of my message of January 17, a letter of the 26th November has been received from the minister plenipotentiary of the U. S. at London, covering one from the secretary for foreign affairs of that government, which, being on the subject of that message, is now transmitted for the information of Congress. Altho' nothing forbids the substance of these letters from being communicated without reserve, yet so many ill-effects proceed from the publication of correspondence between ministers remaining still in office, that I cannot but recommend that these letters be not permitted to be formally published."  TH: JEFFERSON.  Feb. 6, 1806.  The said message and letters accompanying it were read and ordered to lie on the table.  On a motion made and seconded, to amend the secret journal of the House in the manner following, to wit:  "Resolved, That dollars be appropriated by law for the purpose of defraying any extraordinary expenses which may be incurred in the intercourse between the U. S. and foreign nations, to be appropriated, and to be paid out of any monies in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, and to be applied under the direction of the President of the U. S. who shall have authority to borrow the said sum or any part thereof, on behalf of the U. S. at a rate of interest not exceeding six per centum per annum, and shall cause an account of the expenditure thereof to be laid before Congress as soon as may be."  "Resolved, That the additional duty of two and a half per centum ad valorem imposed by an act, entitled, "An act further to protect the commerce and seamen of the U. S. against the Barbary powers," be continued for years."  The question was taken, "that the journal be so amended," and resolved in the affirmative, by yeas and nays, every member present voting in the affirmative.  A motion was then made and seconded, that a committee be appointed to present to the President of the U. S. the resolution agreed to by this
House on the 14th ult. in the words following, to wit:  "Resolved, That an exchange of territory between the U. S. and Spain, is deemed by this House to be the most advantageous mode of settlement of existing differences respecting limits between the U. S. and the court of Madrid, and that any arrangement between the two governments, which shall secure to Spain an ample barrier on the side of Mexico, and to the U. S. the countries watered by the Mississippi and to the eastward of it, will meet the approbation of this House."  On which motion debate arising, it was moved and seconded to postpone the consideration thereof until Thursday next.  And decided in the negative—Yeas 37—Nays 64.  Another motion was then made and seconded, to amend the said original motion by instructing the same committee also to present to the President of the U. S. another resolution agreed to by this House, on the said 14th ultimo, in the words following, to wit:  "Resolved, That dollars be appropriated by law toward defraying the expense which may be incurred, in the purchase of the Spanish territories, lying on the Atlantic ocean, and Gulf of Mexico, and eastward of the Mississippi, to be paid out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, and to be applied under the direction of the President of the United States, who shall have authority, if necessary, to borrow the said sum, or any part thereof in behalf of the United States, at a rate of interest not exceeding six per centum per annum, redeemable at will; and shall cause an account thereof to be laid before Congress, as soon as may be."  On which motion to amend, the question being taken,  It was resolved in the affirmative, And then the main question being taken, that the House do agree to the said original motion, as now amended, It was resolved in the affirmative, Ordered, That Mr. John Randolph, and Mr. Gregg, be appointed a committee pursuant thereto.  TUESDAY, FEB. 11.  Mr. John Randolph, from the committee appointed on Thursday last to present to the President of the United States, the two resolutions of this House of the 14th ult. reported that the committee had, according to order, performed that service.  Mr. Thomas M. Randolph, from the committee for enrolled bills, reported, that the committee had examined an enrolled bill, to wit:  "An act making provisions for defraying any extraordinary expenses attending the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations," and had found the same to be truly enrolled: whereupon  Mr. Speaker signed the said enrolled bill.  Ordered, That the clerk of this House do acquaint the Senate therewith.  WEDNESDAY, FEB. 12.  Mr. Thomas M. Randolph, from the committee for enrolled bills, reported, that the committee did, yesterday, present to the President of the United States for his approbation, an enrolled bill, intitled "An act making provision for defraying any extraordinary expenses attending the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations."  TUESDAY, FEB. 18.  A message in writing, was received from the President of the U. States, by Mr. Coles, his secretary, as follows:  "To the House of Representatives of the United States:  "On the 13th inst. I approved and signed the act entitled "an act making provision for defraying any extraordinary expenses attending the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations," which originated in the House of Representatives, and I shall, in due season, deposit it among the rolls in the office of the Secretary of State."  TH: JEFFERSON.  Feb. 18, 1806.  MONDAY, MARCH 24.  A message in writing, was received from the President of the U. States, by Mr. Coles, his secretary, as follows:  "To the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. States:  "I communicate to congress a letter recently received from the Minister Plenipotentiary of the U. States at London, stating some circumstances which bear relation to the subject of my message of January 17th. This paper being original, and to be communicated to both Houses, the return of it is requested."  TH: JEFFERSON.  March 24, 1806.  The said message and document accompanying it, were severally twice read.  Ordered, That the letter referred to in the said message, be returned to the President of the United States, agreeably to his request.  [On the 31st ult. the injunction of secrecy was taken off by a majority of 7 votes.]
BY THE LAST MAILS.  From the Richmond (Vir.) Enquirer.  MIRANDA EXPEDITION.  Our readers may recollect a communication, in our paper of the 4th of March, in which the writer observes to the editor, "I have left a letter which Mr. Hylton, the clerk of the council addressed to you, and to be delivered when it can do no injury to the cause in question; in which you will find the outlines of the design; the place of rendezvous, &c. You must not blame my caution in keeping the port or place of destination from the public—for the minister of Spain would gladly know it, and by express might possibly prevent the design." With this introductory explanation, we submit the following letters to the attention of the public.  No. I. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER. Richmond, April 1, 1806.  SIR—One month having elapsed since the period at which the enclosed letter was put into my hands by Stephen Sayre, Esq. I now send it to you agreeably to his request, and in conformity to the assurance I then gave him. From the manner in which Mr. Sayre, some time ago communicated to the public (through the medium of your press) the fact that this letter was lodged with me, it might seem that its contents were known or might be known to the executive or myself; but that was altogether impossible. The truth is, that Mr. Sayre confided the letter to me in my private character, as he might have done to any other individual, sealed up as you now receive it, and with instructions endorsed upon it, as you will perceive, to hold it up to the present time. Neither the executive nor myself had, or could have on terms that were honorable any kind of control over the letter, and my most sacred honor is pledged, that I am at this moment as ignorant of its contents, as any other citizen of the commonwealth can be.  I am with great respect, Your most obedient humble servant. DANIEL HYLTION.  No. II. Endorsed on the back. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER. (To be delivered, when the place of Miranda's destination is made known; or within one month from this first day of March, whether known or not.)  Richmond, 18 March, 1806.  MR. RITCHIE, SIR—I have heretofore withheld this communication, lest the minister of Spain, might have had time to prevent the plan I wish to see effected.  Miranda has the permission from the British government to make Trinidad the place of rendezvous; he is gone there. The delegates of Caracas, Sta Fee and Mexico, are now there, or expected to meet him. Some delay may take place; therefore it would be imprudent to name the place of attack, rather the place to be surrendered—to be made the test of confederation.  If Miranda is not gone to that island, you may laugh at my credulity—if you hear of his being there, you may put more confidence than heretofore, in any communications I shall make as to this subject.  Yours, &c. STEPHEN SAYRE.  Comments on the above, from the Aurora.  The failing of the Leander has excited so much notice, that these letters will be read at least without decreasing curiosity: the result, however, will, in our opinion, prove, that the affair does not merit all the attention it has received from the public. Mr. Sayre was well acquainted with Miranda, and probably believed him honest: Miranda may have had reciprocal confidence, and stated to Mr. Sayre the substance of what we learn from his letter, which Mr. S. undoubtedly credited: but that Miranda let him into the secret, that he made known his actual plans and designs we very much doubt, particularly as recent circumstances are at variance with what is mentioned in the letter.  As to the actual object of Miranda, and the motives by which he is actuated, we differ in opinion with many. It is said Miranda's intention is to set his country free: we doubt this, for two reasons, first because we do not believe that such pure and patriotic sentiments alone could govern a man, who has been successively the bribed agent of Catherine of Russia, Robespierre of France and Pitt of England, three of the greatest monsters, that have ever had the reins of government in their hands; secondly, because the means employed are in no respect adequate to the purpose of driving the Spaniards from South America. May we not rather conclude that Miranda, a desperate and bold adventurer, was a second time bribed by Pitt to create alarm and dread in the government of Spain; particularly as we find by the capture of Montevideo, in Paraguay, that no inconsiderable portion of the English minister's attention was directed to the state of Spanish South American possessions. We believe it has not been denied that Miranda had a draft, upon a commercial house at New York, from the British government for a large sum of money; it is certain that Miranda himself is a man of no wealth whatever, and that soon after his arrival he had the Leander in readiness for sea, with arms, provisions and volunteers. These circumstances combined to give the credit or discredit of this business to the British government—in fact, no other power, no other person, but the English government and Pitt, could have such an
interest in the event.—Miranda's character and poverty forbid the idea of his being the sole and original contriver.  We do not therefore hesitate to believe that Miranda might have had permission to go to Trinidad, now in possession of the British: certainly that island, of all others, would be best suited, from its proximity, to be made the rendezvous previous to any attack upon Caracas. Recent information, however, assures us that Miranda proceeded to Jacquetmel, on the south side of St. Domingo, and not to Trinidad. The idea, therefore, of concealing the place of destination, left his arrival there might be prevented, appears ridiculous; for, instead of proceeding directly, Miranda delays for weeks, we might say months, as if he intended to give notice of his approach. Mr. Sayre indeed intimates that some delay may take place, and therefore declines mentioning the particular point of destination: but whatever may be the place, meant to be attacked, the Spanish minister has already ordered it to be placed in a state of defence—in fact, his orders or advices must have been spread in all directions long since. The Caracas mentioned as the point of destination, is a populous and rich country—its principal sea port town contains about 30,000 inhabitants—and it is by no means probable that a handful of adventurers could effect a revolution in, or overcome, such a country? To prevent this conclusion at once striking every man, internal arrangements are mentioned, chiefs and agents from the provinces—on the truth or fallacy of this, every thing will depend—the matter is very doubtful, but if it is true that delegates were appointed, consequences of the greatest moment may result.  We have not, however, seen or heard any thing sufficiently authentic, to induce us to expect such consequences; all is vague and contradictory as yet; unless it is in a consideration of the source of the undertaking—all circumstances combine to lay it to the charge of England.  BOSTON, APRIL 17.  COMMERCIAL.  A letter from Paris Jan. 18, 1806, states, that the government of that empire was about to prohibit the importation of rebaccos , by private individuals; and to place that branch of commerce on the footing of the antient monarchy.  Extract of a letter from a respectable house, dated Lisbon, February 14.  "From Naples we learn that 6000 mows or upwards of 140,000 bushels of wheat, and double the quantity of barley, have been bought up by our government. This supply was totally unexpected, as the heavy duty prevented the private merchants from adventuring."  "From Malaga, under date of 29th Jan. they write, "This place affords no encouragement whatever for a remittance of American produce. Flour would not fetch more than 8 dollars per barrel on board."  "From Gibraltar, 15th Jan. they write—"We had lately the arrival of a vessel from New York, with 1400 barrels of flour, of which we have run 1,100 barrels, but from other arrivals taking place, a stop is put to all present sales, as our bakers are fully supplied—no other remedy remains but of storing."  "From Cadiz, 18th Jan.—"Flour is, literally speaking, no sale; and at Gibraltar and the neighboring ports, it is as bad. It is true, we have no fresh flour at market, but it cannot be expected to bear any price so long as the common wheat remains so plenty and cheap, and the appearance of our next harvest is fine beyond description; from Oporto, as already said, the advices are discouraging."  "From Corunna, they are shipping wheat to this place; and we ourselves received a cargo two days ago."  "From England, a vessel arrived 3 days since, belonging to a convoy hourly expected. The captain reports that there were in all 19 ships loaded with wheat, destined for this place—the prices were still falling."  "From France we receive every post, letters requesting to know whether we cannot encourage them to send wheat—the greatest check to their doing it now is the want of vessels, and the impediments which the war throws in their way by the danger of capture. Since the late events on the continent, the death of Mr. Pitt, and the appointment of Ministers of a different way of thinking to succeed him, there is little doubt of a general peace taking place very shortly; and the moment this is the case we may expect to be inundated with flour, wheat and corn from France, as their abundance will certainly induce them to send as soon as their navigation shall be free, and their freights reduced to peace rate."  "From America we have advices, that more may yet be expected, and indeed several shipments are positively advised."

Portsmouth, TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1806. Two millions of dollars for the purchase of the two Floridas.
The federalists resemble the lion deprived of his teeth. In misrepresenting and abusing the present administration they have worn out their character. It is no longer in their power to deceive. When they misrepresent they are doubted, when they fabricate falsehood they are not believed. The peaceable acquisition of two provinces belonging to Spain for two millions of dollars, they now attempt to insinuate is impolitic and disgraceful. This valuable territory extends from the old boundary of the U. S. the St. Mary river, to the river Perdido in the bay of the Mobile, and comprehends a tract of country of three or four hundred miles, laying on the sea-board, and abounding with valuable rivers, and two or three good harbors. It is a strip of country which intervenes between Georgia, South-Carolina and Tennessee, and the territory of Louisiana: and when made a part of the U. S. it completes their line on the Atlantic ocean from St. Croix to Rio Grand or Rio de Nord in Louisiana. To any nation it is worth more than two millions of dollars—to the U. S. it is invaluable. It completes their line on the sea board, which line is now intersected. It affords an outlet to all the produce of all the rivers which empty into the Mobile Bay and the two Floridas. It removes all cause of further disputes with foreign nations. It will promote the settlement of the back country, protect the inhabitants from all foreign interruption and interference, and will secure the peace of the U. S. for ages to come. To those who insinuate that this is impolitic or extravagant, we must attribute the fin of ignorance, or the crime of detraction. (Democrat.)
We are anxious for a development of the course which Mr. Fox will pursue in his new situation, which is a very trying one. He cannot desert his old principles, or decline efforts to carry his professions into effect, without disgracing himself; and he cannot attempt to put his professions into practice without risking his station as prime minister. The question of union between England and Ireland, is again agitated, as well in private circles as in public: in the debate in the house of commons on the 3d of February, an Irish member, intimated that an effort would be made to repeal the union act; and, in noticing this remark Mr. Fox said—he agreed with the Irish member in his sentiments respecting the union, that "that measure was the most disgraceful to the government of the country that ever was carried or proposed"—This was enough to excite the feelings and the hopes of the enemies of the union, and no doubt the minister's sincerity will be put to the test. In like manner, the Catholics will renew their claims for the exercise of the elective franchise, and the dissenters will call for a repeal of the test act. All these circumstances render the situation of Mr. Fox peculiarly delicate—he has the alternative, to support his former principles at the risk of office, or abandon them with the loss of character—we hope he may extricate himself with honor from this dilemma. (Aurora.)
Capt. Wilson, who arrived at Baltimore, last Thursday from St. Jago de Cuba, informs that on the 11th of March he fell in with an English fleet of twenty-five sail, under convoy of a ship of war from Jamaica bound to Halifax; that on the 15th, in the evening, he saw a large French privateer full of men go into the fleet, that on the 16th, off the Havana they experienced a very heavy gale, and on the 20th he saw the commodore bearing away with a signal of distress. On the 21st, he saw the privateer and about twenty of the fleet standing to the southward, and is of opinion they were captured. (N. Y. paper.)
Extract of a letter from a gentleman on board the Leander, dated Jacmel, 1st March, 1806, received via Baltimore. "General Miranda has explained to us his plan; and as we were told before we left New-York when it was explained to us, we were at liberty to proceed or return, we have pretty generally agreed to return. We are landed and in good quarters; have received what was promised, and money to return, with passage free. The general will get as many men here as he wants, general Petion at Port-au-Prince, who has the command of 8,000 mulattoes, speaking the language of the people on the opposite coast, are all eager to accompany him, and the Emperor of Hayti, gives every facility; and for myself, I believe Miranda will succeed—perhaps we may yet go."

AS the period is approaching when Maps of all the towns in the State, are to be lodged in the Secretary's office, in order that a Map of the State may be obtained, the subscriber would beg leave to press upon the attention of the selectmen of those towns who have not sent in plans, the necessity of their seeing that the survey and admeasurement of the limits of their respective towns are faithfully and accurately made, the projections correctly, and perspicuously drawn, and that all the requisitions of the act passed for the above purpose in 1803, are complied with.
In executing the duties required by this act, the most minute care and attention are indispensably necessary, to enable the government to accomplish the object so universally desired. The subscriber feels it the more his duty to give this caution in consequence of some plans, having lately been transmitted to his office that do not comply with the law, and cannot be accepted.—It was thought that it would be proper to submit to this notice an abstract of the law that has been referred to.
"It shall be the duty of the several towns within this State to cause an accurate survey of the same to be made, and transmit a map thereof to the secretary of this State [on or before the first Wednesday of November] containing the exact limits of said towns by careful admeasurement, together with a description of all public roads passing through the same, also the rivers, falls, and principal streams, ponds, lakes, and Mountains, and the names of adjoining towns, with the extent said towns adjoin on their own towns, the whole to be protracted by a scale of two hundred rods to an inch on a horizontal line; and all disputed lines shall be distinctly marked. In all cases where towns are uninhabited or have not more than fifteen rateable polls it shall be the duty of the proprietors of such town to transmit a Map of the same, &c. &c.

By notice of New Hampshire. PUBLIC notice is hereby given that HOPESTILL JENISON , and others have petitioned the General Court, representing that the public roads through that tract of Lands formerly known by the name of Wales-Location, now annexed to Cockburn, in the county of Coos, are so bad as to render the travel through the same extremely difficult; that the ordinary repairs, which will be necessary from year to year, will require more labour than the present inhabitants are able to perform—that it will become absolutely necessary in the course of another season, to erect a large Bridge, or repair the old one, which must be done at a very considerable expence, and that considering the present existing contentions & clashing titles, amongst the different claimants to the lands, in said Location; that they have nothing to expect from them, at present—and the petitioners further state, that they are either inhabitants in said town, or owners of land in said Location, and are, as well as the public, deeply interested in having good Roads;—They therefore pray, that a tax of four cents on each acre of land, in said Location, may by an act of the Legislature be assessed or granted, for the purpose of making and repairing public roads in said Location.
ORDERED, that the petitioners be heard on their petition before the General Court, on the first Tuesday of their next session; and that they cause that the substance of said petition, and order of court, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, three weeks successively, commencing six weeks prior to said day of hearing, and that they also cause that the substance of said petition and order of court, be posted up in some public place in the town of Lancaster, and in that part of the town of Cockburn, which was formerly Wales-Location, three weeks successively, six weeks prior to said day of hearing; that any person or persons may then appear, and show cause if any they have, why the prayer thereof may not be granted.

VERSES
On Sir J. L.'s coming of Age.
BY DR. JOHNSON.
LONG expected one and twenty, Ling'ring year at length has flown, Pride and pleasure, pomp and plenty, Great Sir J., are now your own.
Loosen'd from the minor's tether, Free to mortgage or to sell, Wild as wind, and light as feather, Bid the sons of thrift farewell.
Call the Belfies, Kates and Jennies, All the names that banish cares, Lavish of your grandfire's guineas, Show the spirit of an heir.
All that prey on vice or folly, Joy to see their quarry fly; Here the gamester light and jolly, There the lender grave and sly.
Wealth, my lad, was made to wander, Let it wander as it will; Call the jockey, call the pander, Bid them come and take their fill.
When the bonny blade carouses, Pockets full, and spirits high— What are acres? what are houses? Only dirt, or wet or dry.
Should the guardian, friend or mother, Tell the woes of wilful waste; Scorn the council, scorn their bother— You can hang or drown at last!
WEDDING.
From a young lady to her friend, the day previous to her marriage.
"To-morrow!—Yes Eliza, to-morrow, (wind, tide, and my mind serving,) I quit the bleak and barren shore of Maidenland, and embark on the sea of uncertainty, for the continent of Matrimony. As our coast lies by the cape of Good Hope, we have no certain compass to steer by; especially as its variations of late have been many.—We must, therefore, trust to the strength of our vessel.
"The prosperous fate of former adventures has induced me to explore foreign climes, in search perhaps of imaginary treasures. I confess I have many fears: I know Terra Incognita is a dangerous place to wander in; and we have seen many settlements made there at great expence, that have proved hardly worth keeping.—No more the soothing breezes of flattery shall waft my barge and swell my sails!
"Pray for me, Eliza, that I may be preferred from the shoals and quicksands of pride and jealousy, that I may neither split on the rocks of imprudence, be lashed by the waves of censure, nor chilled with the cold blasts of indifference; that I may never be tempted by my enemies to traffic in contraband goods—but, exchanging largely in the article of affection, in lieu of gentle offices, I may have frequent returns of gratitude and love—that, without crowding my sails, or expecting to reach the Happy Islands, while tossed on the waves of time, I may suffer its tide to convey me gently into the quiet haven of Content.
The following account of a fracas between two natives of Africa, is from the Washington Federalist.
On Friday evening a duel was fought here between two natives of Africa, of sable hue and of high pretensions to honor. The battle commenced about eight o'clock. Dinah was armed with a cow skin, while Cloe had nothing but the ample weapons of nature, length of nails and hardness of knuckles. Jupiter sent Mercury Tom to hold a flambeau while the Gods, as usual in such engagements, were ranged a part on one side and a part on the other. Victory now sat perched on the cow skin, and now on the knuckle, ready, like many a good patriot, to declare for the conquering party.—At one time Dinah bit the dust, at another Cloe hugged the earth. The sanguinary rills began to flow copiously from lacerated cheeks and disfigured noses. The cow skin breaks and it is useless. The battle becomes wholly pugilacular; while thump succeeds to thump, and heavy blows to heavy blows repond. And now dreadful deeds had ensued and uproar wild, had not a reverend figure advanced to the scene, deus ex machina vindice nodus , with venerable grey wool and white teeth, whose presence caused an immediate cessation of hostilities, and whose peaceful words awed and silenced the else mortal encounter. "Now Dinah for Cloe," he cried, "an't it a shame for two of the Fair Sex to be boxing on't so."
We understand some affair of honor was the unhappy cause of this duel.
As a pretty large number of culprits were going to take their last degree at Tyburn, the wife of one of them passed through the crowd, and told the sheriff he had come to see her dear husband executed; & begged that he might be hanged first in the morning, as she had a great way to go home.

The inhabitants of the town of Portsmouth, are requested to notice, and observe the following Regulations, made and published agreeably to law; for the preservation of health in the town.
ALL persons having vaults overflowing, or whose contents are so near the surface of the earth as to be a nuisance, or having stagnant waters in cellars, dung in heaps, or filth in or about their yards, barns or houses, are to have such nuisances removed immediately, before the warm weather shall commence. It is the wish of the health Committee, to save trouble to such persons, and to themselves, but the cleanliness and health of the Town must be provided for, and if such nuisances are not removed within thirty days from this day, they will be removed as the law directs. And it is requested, that information be given of filth left in any part of the town, such information will be thankfully received, and the way it came will be concealed.
All links running on the surface of the ground in the streets are to be sunk below. No dead animal, offensive substance, or filth of any kind is to be left in any streets, lanes, alleys, or on any wharf or dock, and every person offending in this particular must expect to be prosecuted and fined. And in regard to Quarantine—
The Health Committee have found that the health of the inhabitants has been greatly endangered, and the town has suffered much in time past, from deceit practised, and false answers given by vessels arriving at the Port, when hailed from the Fort. It was therefore thought proper and necessary in the year 1803, when Quarantine commenced, that all vessels from the West-India Islands, the Dutch and Spanish main, from the Straights of Gibraltar, and from ports within them, or from any port or place where any contagious distempers should in fact be prevalent, should, on their arrival at this port, immediately come to anchor for inspection; that the lives and health of the citizens might not be endangered by infection brought to town. The Commanding officer at Fort Constitution was to bring all such vessels to an anchor, and hoist a red flag as a signal for the Health Committee to repair on board, or send some suitable person or persons on board, for the purpose of inspection and examination.—These regulations were made and carried into execution; careful examination took place on the part of the Health Officers. In cases where no sickness had taken place during the voyage, and no infection apprehended, the vessels had permits to come directly up to the town—Where infection was found, or justly suspected to be on board, or where sickness was or had been on board, or death during the voyage, the vessels were carefully smooked and cleaned, and when sufficiently purified, permission was given them to come up to town, or go elsewhere at their pleasure. The same orders and regulations were continued, were in force and duly executed the year past, and will be continued and strictly enforced the current year; and if any master, officer, or any person on board any ship or vessel that shall arrive at this harbour, from any ports or places before mentioned, after the 15th day of May next, and before the first day of November next, shall be guilty of giving a false report when hailed at the Castle, or shall come up to the town, or suffer any of the people, or any passenger to go on shore, or shall suffer any person to go on board any such vessel, or carry or suffer any thing to be carried on shore therefrom, before being visited and inspected as aforesaid, every person so offending, shall be dealt with as the law directs.
