[PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY.]
AN ACT
Authorizing the proprietors of squares and lots in the city of Washington to have the same subdivided and admitted to record. BE IT ENACTED, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That whenever the proprietor of any square or lot in the city of Washington, shall deem it necessary to subdivide such square or lot into convenient building lots, pieces or portions for sale, and occupancy, and alleys for their accommodation, he may cause a plat of the same to be made, on which shall be expressed the dimensions and length of all the lines of such portions as are necessary for defining and laying off the same on the ground, and may certify such subdivision under his hand and seal, in the presence of two or more credible witnesses upon the same plat, or on a paper or parchment attached thereto.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That at the request of the said proprietor, the surveyor of the city shall examine whether the lots, pieces or parcels into which any square or lot may be subdivided as aforesaid, agree in dimensions with the whole of the square or lot so intended to be subdivided, and whether the dimensions expressed on the plat of subdivision, be the true dimensions of the parts so expressed; and if upon such examination, he shall find the plat correct, he shall certify the same under his hand and seal, with such remarks as appear to him necessary for the further illustration thereof, and record the said plat, as examined, in a book or books to be kept by him for that purpose.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That when such subdivision of any square or lot shall be so certified, examined and recorded, the purchaser of any part thereof, or any person interested therein, may refer to the said plat and record for description, in the same manner as to squares and lots divided between the commissioners and original proprietors: and the ways, alleys or passages laid out or expressed on such plat of subdivision, shall be and remain to the public, or subject to the uses declared by the person making such subdivision at all times under the same police regulations as the alleys laid off by the commissioners on division with the proprietors.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That whenever the surveyor of the said city shall lay off any lot therein, or any of the parts into which a square or lot may be subdivided as aforesaid he shall measure the whole of that front of the square on which such lot or part lies; and if on such admeasurement, the whole front of the square exceeds or falls short of the aggregate of the fronts of the lots on that side of the square, as the same are recorded, he shall apportion such excess, or deficiency, among the lots or pieces on that front agreeably to their respective dimensions. Whenever on such admeasurement, the wall of a house previously erected by any proprietor, shall appear to stand on the adjoining lot of any other person in part less than seven inches in width thereon, such wall shall be considered as standing altogether on the land of such proprietor, who shall pay to the owner of the lot on which the wall may stand, a reasonable price for the ground so occupied, to be decided by arbitrators or a jury, as the parties interested may agree; but if the wall of any house already erected, cover seven inches or more in width of the adjoining lot, it shall be deemed a party wall according to the regulations for building in said city, as promulgated by the President of the United States, and the ground so occupied, more than seven inches in width, shall be paid for as above. Which fact the surveyor shall ascertain and certify, and put on record at the request and expense of any person interested therein.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the surveyor to attend when requested, and examine the foundation or walls of any house to be erected, when the same shall be level with the street or surface of the ground, for the purpose of adjusting the line of the front of such building to the line of the street, and correctly placing the party wall on the line of division between that and the adjoining lot; and his certificate of the fact shall be admitted as evidence, and binding on the parties interested.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the surveyor shall be authorized to receive from the persons for whom he shall perform the services required by this act, the fees following, that is to say: For examining the plat and calculations of any subdivision of a square or lot, twelve and an half cents for each of the lots or portions into which it may be subdivided; Provided, that no more shall be paid for the lots in one square than one dollar and fifty cents; for examining any building and giving the certificate required by the fifth section of this act, and recording the same one dollar and fifty cents; for recording any division, or subdivision of any square, or lots for transcripts from records, and for searches in his office, the same fees that have heretofore been paid to the clerk of the county; Provided, That they do not in any case exceed the fee hereby allowed for examination.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That all records of the division of squares and lots heretofore made between the public and original proprietors, or which are authorized by this act, shall be kept in the
office of the surveyor of the city; and all transcripts therefrom, certified by him, shall be evidence equally valid with certified transcripts from the Keeper of the office for recording deeds, for the conveyance of land in the county of Washington.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That whenever the President of the United States shall deem it necessary to subdivide any square or lot belonging to the United States within the city of Washington which may not have been reserved for public purposes, into convenient building lots, pieces or portions for sale and occupancy, and alleys for their accommodation, he may cause a plat to be made by the surveyor of the city in the manner prescribed by the first section of this act, which shall be recorded by the said surveyor, and the provisions of this act shall extend to the lots, pieces and parcels of ground contained in such plat as fully as to subdivisions made by individual proprietors.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That the surveyor of the city of Washington, before entering upon the discharge of the duties required of him by this act, shall take an oath or affirmation before the mayor of the city of Washington, that he will faithfully and impartially perform the duties herein before required of him.

Political Miscellany.
FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT.
MR. ADAMS'
CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED. To the Printers of the Boston Patriot, SIRS.
IN pamphlet, page 27, it is said that the great alteration in public opinion had put it completely in the power of our executive to control the machinations of any future public agent, of France. Therefore Philadelphia was a later scene of negotiation than Paris.
Mr. Hamilton's erroneous conceptions of the public opinion may be excused by the considerations that he was not a native of the United States; that he was born and bred in the West Indies, till he went to Scotland, for education, where he spent his time in a seminary of learning, till seventeen years of age; after which no man ever perfectly acquired a national character; then entered a college at Newyork, from whence he issued into the army as an aid de camp. In these situations he could scarcely acquire the opinions, feelings, or principles of the American people. His error may be excused by the further consideration, that his time was chiefly spent in his pleasures, in his electioneering visits, conferences and correspondences, in propagating prejudices against every man whom he thought his superior in the public estimation; and in composing ambitious reports upon finance, while the real business of the treasury was done by Duer, by Woolcot, and even, for some time and in part, by Tenche Coxe.
His observation that "France will never be without secret agents," is true: and it is equally true that England will always have secret agents and emissaries too. "That her partisans among our own citizens, can much better promote her cause than any agents she can find, is also true;" but it is at least equally true of the partisans of Great Britain. We have seen, in the foregoing papers, glaring and atrocious instances of the exertions of her public agents, secret emissaries and partisans among our citizens. But none have yet been mentioned that bear any comparison, in point of guilt and arrogance, with those of all kinds that have been exhibited within the last two or three years.
My worthy fellow-citizens! Our form of government, inestimable as it is, exposes us more than any other to the insidious intrigues and pestilent influence of foreign nations. Nothing but our inflexible neutrality can preserve us. The public negotiations and secret intrigues of the English and the French have been employed, for centuries, in every court and country of Europe. Look back to the history of Spain, Holland, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Prussia, Italy, and Turkey, for the last hundred years. How many revolutions have been caused! How many emperors and kings have fallen victims to the alternate triumphs of parties, excited by Englishmen or Frenchmen? And can we expect to escape the vigilant attention
of politicians so experienced, so keen sighted, and so rich? If we convince them that our attachment to neutrality is unchangeable, they will let us alone: but as long as a hope remains, in either power, of seducing us to engage in war on his side and against his enemy, we shall be torn and convulsed by their manoeuvres.
Never was there a grosser mistake of public opinion than that of Mr. Hamilton. The great alteration in public opinion had not then, nor has it yet, taken place. The French republic still exists: The French people were still considered as struggling for liberty, amidst all their internal revolutions, their conflicts of parties, and their bloody wars against the coalitions of European powers. Monarchy, empire, had not been suggested. Bonaparte had appeared only as a soldier; had acted on the public stage in no civil or political employment. A sense of gratitude, for services rendered us in our revolution, by far more sincere and ardent than reason or justice could warrant, still remained on the minds, not only of our republicans, but of great numbers of our soundest federalists. Did Mr. Hamilton recollect the state of our affairs? Recollected the names and popular eloquence of the editors of the opposition papers?—That scoffing, scorning wit, and that caustic malignity of foul which appeared so remarkably in all the writings of Thomas Paine and Callender, which to the disgrace of human nature, never fails to command attention and applause? The members of the senate and house, who were decided against the administration, their continual intercourse and communications with French emissaries? The hedges clamor against the alien law, and sedition law, both considered as levelled entirely against the French and their friends, and the surrender according to the British treaty, of the Irish murderer Nash, imposed upon the public for Jonathan Robbins? Did he recollect the insurrection in Pennsylvania. The universal and perpetual inflammatory publications against the land tax, stamp tax, coach tax, excise law, and eight per cent loan? Did he never see nor hear of the circular letters of members of Congress from the middle and southern states? Did he know nothing of the biting sarcasms, the burning rage against himself and his own army? Did he know nothing of a kind of journal that was published of every irregular act of any officer or soldier, of every military punishment that was inflicted, under the appellation of the Cannibal's Progress? Did he see nothing of the French cockades ostentatiously exhibited against the American cockades?
Had a French minister been seen here with his suite, he would have been instantly informed of every source and symptom of discontent.—Almost every Frenchman upon the continent, and they were then numerous in all the States, would have been employed in criminating the American government, in applauding the condescension of the French Directory, and the friendly, conciliating disposition of the French nation.—Nothing could have been kept secret: the popular clamor for peace on any terms would have been very difficult, if not impossible, to resist. The multitude in Philadelphia, as it was, were almost as ripe to pull me out of my house as they had been to dethrone Washington in the time of Genet. Even the night of the last day, the street were crowded with multitudinous assemblies of the people, especially that before my door, and kept in order only, as many people thought, by a military patrol, ordered, I believe, by the Governor of Pennsylvania.
In these circumstances, it was my opinion, and it is so still, it was infinitely better to conduct the negotiation at Paris than in Philadelphia. But if this was and is an error, it was certainly not of such consequence as Hamilton thought fit to represent it. If it was an error, I humbly conceive it would have better become Mr. Hamilton to have been silent, than to endeavor to make it unpopular—since the step was taken and irrevocable, when he wrote.
But the real truth is, he was in hopes, as well as Mr. Linton, that the French government would neither send a minister here nor receive one there—in short, that they would
have gone to war with us. If we had waited for a minister here, much time would have been lost: our little naval force under Talbot, Truxton, Decatur, Little, &c. was doing wonders in protecting our commerce, and in fighting and capturing French ships of war. Some of our citizens were not wanting in irritating expressions of exultation and triumph, particularly in parading a French national ship that had been captured by Decatur up the Delaware, in sight of all the citizens of Philadelphia, with the French national colors reversed under an American flag. Hamilton hoped that such provocations would produce an irreconcilable breach and a declaration of war. He was disappointed and lost the command of his army. Hinc illa Lacrimae!
There were other circumstances of more serious and solid importance, indicative of public opinion, which Mr. Hamilton, if he had been a vigilant and sagacious statesman, could not have overlooked. The venerable patriarchs Pendleton and Wythe, of Virginia, openly declaimed for peace; the former came out in print with his name, protesting against a war with our sister republic of France.—General Heath came out with an address to the public in Massachusetts, declaring that every man he met was decidedly for peace. When the election was coming on, the legislature of Massachusetts are not trust the people, either at large or in districts, to choose electors, but assumed that office to themselves. In New York, the great interest and vast bodies of people, who are supposed to follow or direct the two great families of Clintons and Livingstons, aided by all the address and dexterity of Aaron Burr, was decidedly for peace with France. In Pennsylvania, Governor McKean, with his majority of thirty thousand votes, or in other words, at the head of the two vast bodies of Germans and Irish, reinforced by great numbers of English Presbyterians, Quakers and Anabaptists, were decidedly against a war with France.
After enumerating all those symptoms of the popular bias, it would be frivolous to enlarge upon the conversations of which I was informed at taverns and insurance offices, threatening violence to the President by pulling him out of his chair, upon the French cockades that were everywhere paraded before my eyes, in opposition to the black cockade, or upon the declarations and oaths, which I know were made by no small numbers, that if we went to war with France, and the French should come here, they would join them against the federalists and the English. These things I recollect with grief, because they do no honor to our country: but I must say they disgrace it no more than many more solemn actions and declarations of the opposite party against France, and in favor of England, have done within the last twelve months.
In these circumstances, it was the height of folly to say as Hamilton says, that it would have been safer to negotiate at Philadelphia than at Paris. As to our ambassador's being overawed in Paris, by any finesse of politicians, or triumphs of the French arms: We must take care to send men who are equal to such trials.—The French have not, as yet gained any great and unjust advantages of us by all their policy. Our envoys were precisely instructed. Every article was prescribed that was to be insisted on as an ultimatum. In a treaty they could not depart from a punctilio. A convention they might make, as they did, at their own risque. But the President and Senate were under no obligation to ratify it. Had it betrayed a single point of essential honor or interest, I would have sent it back, as Mr. Jefferson did the treaty with England, without laying it before the senate. It I had been doubtful, the senate would have decided.
Where, then, was the danger of this negotiation? No where but in the disturbed imagination of Alexander Hamilton. To me only it was dangerous. To me, as a public man, it was fatal, and that only because Alexander Hamilton, was pleased to wield it, as a poisoned weapon, with the express purpose of destroying. Though I owe him no thanks for this, I most heartily rejoice in it, because it has given me eight years, incom-

parably the happiest of my life:— whereas, had I been chosen president again, I am certain I could not have lived another year. It was utterly impossible that I could have lived through one year more of such labors and cares as were fondly and maliciously accumulated upon me, by the French faction and the British faction; the former aided by the republicans, and the latter by Alexander Hamilton, and his fatellites.
JOHN ADAMS.
Quincy, May 26, 1809.
No. 1, FOR THE N. H. GAZETTE. To the Citizens of New Hampshire.
In the Portsmouth Oracle of the 17th of June, a certain writer attacks the conduct, traducers and vilifies the character and reputation of Gov. LANGDON, his late Council, and certain gentlemen by them recently appointed to high and important offices, with all that violence, malignity and calumny, that is so peculiarly appropriate to the character of the vehicle of slander for which he writes. The appointment of RICHARD EVANS to be Judge of the Superior Court, has given mortal offence to the men whom a late federal caucus designated as the successors of the judges SMITH and WINGATE. The disappointment and chagrin of the writer is too apparent to be concealed under the flimsy veil of respect which he professes for the wounded honor and injured dignity of the State. This mortification ought to have restrained the ebullition of his passions, and reminded him of a vulgar proverb, well known in that section of the union designated by the land of fleshy habits, to which I presume he is not a stranger—touch a galled horse and he will wince.
It is unquestionably the right of every citizen freely and fully to investigate the conduct and public character of their rulers, both in private circles and public journals; but declamation should never be substituted for argument, much less falsehood for truth. The appeal should be made to the sober understanding, not to the worst passions of the human heart. Its object should be to reform, not uselessly to irritate, the public mind. And a writer, who in a public paper, with a spirit of bitterness and arrogance, almost peculiar to himself, condemns the capacities, and censures the conduct of five public officers of high trust, before they have either of them performed a single official act, is not himself entitled to much respect from that public whom he addresses—much less to promotion from that government whose officers he thus prematurely censures. To believe that such a writer is influenced by love of country, or that his object is the peace, harmony and prosperity of the State, is requiring more faith than the law of charity imposes on man. The Judges, EVANS, GOOKIN and JENNESS, and the Sheriffs PIERCE and TARTLETON, at the time the Oracle man wrote his address, had not, I believe, performed a single official act. The seals of their commissions were scarcely dry, and some of those gentlemen had not even accepted their offices.
Let us now, my fellow-citizens, faithfully, but truly, examine the charges brought against your late excellent Governor, against his Council, and the men whom he and they have appointed to office, and see if their transactions are marked with that Ethiopian blackness that can never be washed out, which the Oracle man has the effrontery to insinuate. The first and indeed the principal charge, is the appointment of RICHARD EVANS to the office of a Justice of the Superior Court.
Before we consider his qualifications to this important office, let us examine the charges made by the Oracle man against Gov. LANGDON for making this appointment. If this nameless writer's principle be correct, at the time of Mr. EVANS' appointment there was no vacancy in the Superior Court. That Court is, by law, to consist of only three Justices, and according to that writer that number then held their seats on that bench, to wit, SMITH, WINGATE and LIVERMORE. The Constitution explicitly prohibits "any person from holding the office of Judge of any court after he has attained the age of seventy years." And on the 8th day of December last the House of Representatives "Resolved, That in future it shall be the duty of his Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Council, on satisfactory evidence being produced that any judge or sheriff holds his office, who is disqualified on account of age, by the Constitution, to notify said judge or sheriff accordingly, and to fill the vacancy so occasioned by a new appointment." On the next day this resolve passed the Senate, and was approved by the Governor, and so became a public law. Here was a positive duty imposed upon the executive—a duty expressed in language too clear to be obscured by all the sophistry and quibbles of lawyers, and too plain to be mistaken by honest men. To evade the force of this obligation, the Oracle man, with whom a round assertion passes for proof, as if it were a fact, says the resolve was unconstitutional; but the legislature, Governor and Council decided, and decided legally, that it was a constitutional law. On the 25th or 26th of last May Mr. WINGATE arrived to the age of seventy—an age that disqualified him from any longer holding the office of judge. Conscious of this, to his honor be it said, judge WINGATE, on the rising of the Superior Court in the county of Cheshire, about the 18th of May, returned to his home, declined sitting as a judge in the county of Grafton on the 23rd day of the same month, where that court then commenced its term. Of this resolve and incapacity, the Governor and Council gave him due notice; and not receiving any objection from him, they afterwards filled the vacancy. And yet we are told, by this modest Oracle man, that this conduct of your late Governor was "peculiarly partial, unjust, unmanly and ungenerous." In vain do we ask for strong facts or substantial reasons in support of this rude and wanton attack upon the character and conduct of one of your best of men. There is no fact, no reason to justify such unfounded charges.
You are indeed, informed, by this writer, that "it was Gov. LANGDON's good pleasure not to disturb his friend judge WALKER, although he well knew him to be much more than seventy years old. Judge WALKER held his office for months after the passage of the resolve. Two or three sessions of the Council intervened, yet Judge WALKER was spared." Here again you have bold assertions, founded not in fact, but in gross false-
hood. Judge WALKER, on the 30th of last November, assured the writer of this, that his resignation was then made or making, to take effect immediately after the rising of the then next January Court of Common Pleas. Previous to the passage of the resolve, his resignation was delivered to the Governor and Council, who accepted it. Mr. WALKER on the rising of the Court of Common Pleas, 12th of January last, ceased to be a judge. The Governor and Council adjourned about the 24th of December, and did not meet again till February, which was after judge WALKER's resignation had taken full effect. Is this proof that your Governor and Council are guilty of the high handed crimes with which they are charged? Were the Governor and Council, before the passage of the resolve, wrong in accepting judge WALKER's resignation to take effect in a few weeks from its date? Did not even the Legislature, a few years since, pending a motion to remove WILLIAM PARKER from the same Court on account of his age, upon assurance being given that he would soon resign, forbear to pass the address? Was the Legislature, or the Governor, or Council, charged with crimes for exercising this forbearance? But there was in these cases a striking difference; PARKER was a federalist, but WALKER was a republican! Forbearance to the former was meritorious, but when extended to the latter it became criminal!
But you are told that Gov. LANGDON for six months did not appoint a successor to judge CALF. And what then?—There was a quorum left on that bench—the public did not complain, and the jurors were not delayed. At the time of Mr. EVANS' appointment the Superior Court consisted of only two Justices—and it was then more than probable that one of that number would be speedily removed—and then there would be no Superior Court. Mr. LANGDON and his Council, therefore, exercised a right clearly vested in them—they performed a duty they were bound to discharge, in appointing a successor to Mr. WINGATE. If the responses of this Oracle man writer is correct, in one of these appointments Governor LANGDON made too much delay—in the other his promptness was partial, unjust, unmanly and ungenerous! Had Mr. LANGDON delayed both of the appointments until the elevation of Gov. SMITH, the Oracle would have been silent—and the people, perhaps, doomed to have some of its writers as the judges of the oracles of law—where it is probable, they would have done more harm in society, than waiting for a two penny newspaper. But Governor LANGDON had prudence to discern the signs of these times, and finis to do his duty.
ARISTIDES.
June 25, 1809.
National Legislature.
XTH CONGRESS—EXTRA SESSION.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7. A bill for the benefit of American seamen, was read twice and committed.
Mr. Lewis, for the 4th time asked for the consideration of his motion to remove the West Point military academy. Rejected. Several unimportant bills were advanced stages.
A motion to call on the Secretary of the Treasury, for information on the subject of American manufactures as introductory to measures for their encouragement, occasioned a long debate; when the motion was adopted, 92 to 38.
THURSDAY, JUNE 8. A communication on gun boat expenses was received from the Secretary of the Navy, and committed.
The Committee of Elections on the petition of Charles Turner, jun. reported, that the subject be referred to the next session of Congress. Referred for Monday.
FORTIFICATIONS. While the House was in debate on the subject of appropriations for fortifications, a bill was received from the Senate, appropriating Seven Hundred and fifty thousand dollars for completing the fortifications; on which the debate was suspended, and the bill from the Senate immediately taken up. A motion to lessen the sum was negatived 84 to 47; and the bill was ordered for a third reading tomorrow.
A bill to suspend the recruiting service passed the Senate, and has been read twice in the House, and committed.
FRIDAY, JUNE 9. Mr. Neilson, from the committee on that part of the President's message as relates to the military establishment of the United States and to whom was referred a resolution to enquire into the expediency of disbanding the army, and applying the proceeds to the equipment of the whole body of militia, of the U. States, report in part. Rejected. That under existing circumstances, it would be impolitic and unwise to disband any part of the regular military force of the United States.
Referred to a committee of the whole house on Monday.
The bill making appropriation of 750000 dollars for fortifications, was read the third time and passed—Ayes 79—Nays 43.
Mr. Eppes called for the order of the day, on the bill supplementary to the act entitled an act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt.
When the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole house on said bill, Mr. Pitkin in the chair.
In its progress, it was opposed principally on the ground that it was making provision for a deficit in the revenue, and that it authorized a loan to be raised to meet it, which was carefully hid in the diction of the bill, as loans were a resort very obnoxious to the people; it was wished that it were made plainer, and to say at once a loan for the support of government for the year 1809. On motion of J. G. Jackson the house adjourned till Monday morning.
MONDAY, JUNE 12. On motion of Mr. Bibb, the House took up the resolution from the Senate to adjourn on the 20th inst.
Mr. J. G. Jackson moved that it lie on the table till Thursday. Agreed ayes 87.
NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT. Mr. Cutts, from the committee on our naval establishment, reported a bill concerning the naval establishment.—[This bill authorizes the President of the United States, in case of a favorable turn in our foreign relations, to cause to be laid up in ordinary such of the public armed vessels of the U. States as he may think proper.]—Twice read and committed.
TUESDAY, JUNE 13. Mr. J. G. Jackson, from the committee of foreign relations, reported the bill to amend and continue in force, the non-intercourse act with amendments—Twice read, referred to a committee of the whole house, and made the order of the day for Thursday.
CONTESTED ELECTION. The House resumed the consideration of the unfinished business of yesterday being a motion to commit the report of the committee on the election of Mr. Baylies.
Mr. Findley gave his reasons in favor of recommittal.
Mr. Pickman stated at length the grounds on which the council of Massachusetts had ordered a new election in the case; and supported the right of Mr. Baylies to his seat. Mr. Cutts replied. Messrs. Rhea, Bacon and Cook, also advocated re-commitment, and Mr. Quincy replied to some observations made by the gentlemen.
The report was recommitted without a division.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14. Mr. Dana, after a number of judicious observations on the subject of the jurisdictional line of the United States, and to remove doubts thereon, moved the following Resolution, viz:—
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to inquire into the propriety of adopting any legislative provision respecting the extent of the maritime jurisdiction of the United States, and the seizure of navigation within the same; and whether, in addition to the existing provision against captures within a maritime league from any part of the shore, it would be proper by law to authorize the President of the U. States, for the benefit of the commercial interests or revenue thereof, after causing reasonable notification to be given, when he may deem it expedient to prohibit foreign armed ships or vessels from visiting or molesting coasting vessels or merchant vessels bound to or from the United States, whenever the same may be in any of the roads of the U. States, or within any other waters within sight of land, and within lines extending from one cape or head land to another along the coasts of the U. States, and that the committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
This resolution passed, without debate, 59 to 21.
Petitions praying that Orleans, in Barnstable county Mass. may be erected into a port of entry, was committed.
MIRANDA'S MEN. The House took up the Resolution reported by a committee on the petition of these unhappy men, and which authorized the President to adopt measures for their immediate liberation. A long debate ensued:—In which Messrs. Ross, Upham, Livermore, Fisk, Knickerbacker, Holland, Cook and Pearson, supported the Resolution; and Messrs. Taylor, Randolph, Phea and Macon opposed it. On the question to accept the report, the votes were—Ayes, 62—Nays 61. The votes being affirmative 62 negative 61: the Speaker voted in the negative—the votes then being equal, the question was lost. This is a conclusive decision of the subject for this session.
THURSDAY, JUNE 15. Mr. Whitman presented the petition of Wm. Hawkins imprisoned for violation of the Embargo laws, which was committed.
Petitions praying for encouragement to manufactures by the imposition of high duties on foreign articles, were committed.
NEW LOAN BILL. The bill making provision for the support of public credit, and making a loan of money therefor, was taken up in committee of the whole. Mr. Quincy moved, that the bill be rejected—A debate ensued which lasted until seven o'clock, in which Messrs. Quincy, Randolph, Dana, Macon, Goldsborough, Lyon & Talmadge supported the motion, and Messrs. Eppes, Montgomery, W. Alison, Rose, J. G. Jackson and Holland opposed it.
The question being taken, Mr. Quincy's motion was negatived 66 to 47.
Mr. Dana moved to amend the bill by inserting in the bill in substance as follows:
"Provided that no loan shall be made under this act, unless the revenue, after referring 600,000 dollars for the payment of the civil list shall fall short of eight millions of dollars annually, as already by law pledged to the commissioners of the sinking fund."
After some observations from Messrs. Randolph and Dana, a motion was made for the committee to rise, and carried.
On the question whether the committee have leave to sit again, it was suggested by some gentlemen that it would answer no good purpose, as there was no question now pending but the motion by Mr. Dana, which could be renewed in the House, if the committee were discharged.
Before the question was decided, a motion was made to adjourn and carried.
Legislature of New Hampshire.
ANSWER OF THE SENATE, TO THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.
May it please your Excellency, THE Senate duly appreciates the facilities you have made of individual inclination, in accepting the office to which you have been recently invited. In exchanging an office, the duties of which have been long and successfully discharged, for one less familiar and in some degree untried, an ingenious mind must naturally experience some anxiety. We are, however, far from supposing, that the reputation you have so justly acquired will be lost or even tarnished by an acceptance of the high and important trust now committed by your fellow citizens to your charge. The office you have just relinquished has afforded you a favorable opportunity to mark the defects as well as to notice the excellencies of our various features. In occasionally communicating to the Legislature the result of your experience of the deficiencies in our code of laws, and in pointing to the remedy for any such deficiencies, your laudable desire of being useful to your fellow citizens may be amply and successfully indulged. We are fully aware that the actions of men in office are liable to be misrep-
resented, and their motives depreciated: but this consideration ought not to deter men of character and talents from accepting the more important offices of government. The unpleasant sensations which honest and upright men experience, when their characters are attempted to be traduced, is a part of the price which is paid for the numberless advantages of a free government. We have strong ground of confidence that the people of New Hampshire are sufficiently enlightened to discern the difference between the professions and the practice of their rulers. If the measures of your Excellency's administration shall be found on experience to be promotive of the public good; if in your appointments, virtue and talents, rather than political opinions, shall appear to be the recommendations to office, we think you may safely rely on the continual countenance and support of your fellow citizens. For although the baneful influence of party spirit may for time successfully arraign the most salutary measures, yet late occurrences leave us but little reason to doubt that truth will ultimately triumph.
The Senate cordially unite with your Excellency in congratulating our fellow citizens on the prospect of an adjustment of our differences with the government of G. Britain. The measures thus early adopted by the present Chief Magistrate of the Union, for accomplishing this purpose, are to us more highly acceptable from an apprehension we had entertained, that he would persevere in a system injurious to the commercial and agricultural interests of our country and in which he so lately seemed to co-operate. Peace with all nations we ardently desire, especially with nations so powerful, and with whom we may have so beneficial an intercourse as that of France or Great Britain. Although we would not for a moment admit that our country, if united, could not successfully resist all the powers of Europe combined, yet we could not but view with great satisfaction the appearance of an amicable adjustment of our differences with that power to which our country is most accessible. As much confidence as is consistent with the duty of freemen, we trust will be yielded to our national administration. If the measures adopted appear calculated to promote the honor and interest of the nation, we hope no one will withhold his approbation, because his individual wishes were not gratified in forming that administration.
The Judicial establishment will receive the attentive consideration of the Senate. The salaries for the Judges of our Superior Court should be such as to induce men who are the best qualified for a seat on that bench to accept and retain the office. We would not be lavish of the public money; but all who are conversant with judicial proceedings well know, that a court composed of men possessing the requisite qualifications, usually decide causes with much greater dispatch to the parties concerned. In this view of the subject we readily give it as our opinion that the Legislature, by a liberal provision for the Judges of the Superior Court, would be justified by the strictest rules of economy.
The late act of the Legislature relative to elections, and to which your excellency has invited our attention, will receive our candid deliberation. It was undoubtedly the intention of the legislature, to render the exercise of the right of suffrage more certain and more simple. If on experiment it shall have been found that the act in question has had a tendency different from what was desired and expected, all the branches of the legislature, we confidently trust, will cheerfully unite in devising a method, which shall promise more effectually to attain and secure an object so highly desired. The resolve respecting Judges and Sheriffs, will also receive our consideration.
We cannot but deem it a misdemeanor in any officer to attempt to hold and exercise an office beyond the period limited by the constitution; and shall readily aid in devising a summary process by which the fact may at any time be ascertained; provided, it shall not infringe that part of our Bill of Rights which declares that every subject shall have a right to produce all proofs that may be favorable to himself; to meet the witnesses against him face to face; and to be fully heard in his defence by himself and council.
Literature and Science, Agriculture, Arts and Manufactures, we at all times and on all occasions, shall cheerfully exert our best endeavors to foster and promote. And we unite with your excellency in supplicating the Supreme Arbiter of all events, that party spirit may speedily give place to union and brotherly affection, and that our deliberations may subserve the honor, the prosperity and the happiness of our constituents.

The committee, appointed for the purpose of considering the Judiciary, reported that the salary of the chief justice of the Superior Court be fifteen hundred dollars per ann. and that each of the side judges, be thirteen hundred dollars.—Upon consideration by the House, it was voted that the salary of the justice be established at twelve hundred, and each of the side judges at ten hundred dollars. (This vote was non-concurred in by the Senate. On motion to amend, by inserting 15 and 12 instead of 12 and 10 the Senate was equally divided—Messrs.

They admit the expediency of converting stockholders in other banks into proprietors of the State Bank; and are of opinion that loans to the State from the Bank ought never to exceed thirty three and one third per cent. of the stock owned by the State—Accepted by the House.

Latest from Lisbon. —Yesterday arrived here the brig Favorite , Capt. Stacey, in 40 days from Lisbon. She brings papers to the 16th of May, which state, we are informed, that the English and Portuguese army had driven the French from Oporto, who were obliged to take a position so unfavorable as to be entirely surrounded. All their supplies were cut off, and it was said they must surrender. Nothing official, however, appears in the papers.
A duel was fought at New-Orleans, 15th May, between Lieuts. Bowie and Hague, of the U.S. Army. The third shot took effect—both were wounded—the former mortally, and the latter severely. It is said, will probably lose one hand, the bones of his arm being very much shattered.
Several very violent tornadoes and hail storms have been lately experienced in the southern states. On the 31st May a hail storm of unusual violence took place at Savannah, (Ga.) accompanied with thunder, lightning and rain. It continued about 15 minutes, in which it is supposed upwards of 1000 panes of glass were destroyed. Some of the hail stones were large as pigeon's eggs, and very hard. It had a remarkable sulphurous smell, and after the storm had passed a smoke of the most disagreeable smouldering smell passed in a cloud thro' the streets.
On the 28th May a heavy gale of wind did much damage at Marietta, (Ohio.) Several houses were destroyed, and many horses and cattle killed by the falling of timber. Its course has been traced upwards of 200 miles in length, and 50 or 60 in breadth.
A storm of wind and hail passed near Lexington (Ken.) about the 30th of May, carrying destruction in its course. The hail is said to have been of the size of hen's eggs—and 130 lights of glass broken in one house. On the evening of the 2d ult. a storm of rain and hail, attended with very high wind, passed through several counties in Virginia, making ravages among houses, trees, fences, &c. as has not been known in that part of the country for many years. The morning succeeding the storm the mountains in Greenbrier county were covered with snow.
In a hail storm on the 28th May, in Monmouth county, N. J. hail stones fell in large quantities of a size never witnessed by the oldest inhabitants. Some of the largest measured seven inches in circumference.
On Wednesday night last, a building at Ansbury, the property of Mr. D. Currier, containing a nail machine, a machine for manufacturing Oskum, and a carding machine, together with a quantity of Wool, Oskum, machinery, mechanics tools, &c. was consumed by fire—damage estimated at 2500 dollars.
On the night of the 19th ult. a farm house belonging to Dr. Paine of Worcester, was destroyed by fire. The occupant, Mr. David Day, had but time to save himself and his family from the destruction which involved their whole property.
The incendiaries are still busy at Newburyport. Their fourth attempt to fire that town partially succeeded on Tuesday evening last. About half past 9 o'clock fire was discovered in the upper story of the building in Market square, a part of which is occupied as the office of the Newburyport Herald , but its progress was fortunately arrested by the spirited exertions of the citizens. We cannot too earnestly caution our citizens to be on their guard. The same diabolical attempts have been practised upon others—and we know not how soon we too may be marked for destruction.
Several attempts have been made to set fire to the city of Savannah, Geo. The following is extracted from the Speech of Governor LLOYD, of Maryland, elected in the room of Gov. Wright, resigned: I profess myself to be a Democratic Republican; and in my present station it shall be my pride and my care to advance the happiness and to protect inviolate the sovereignty of the state and people. That my political conduct in future will not be marked as it heretofore has been, by some aberrations from what some too zealous partisans may consider the rule of party, I cannot nor will not promise. The principles of real republicanism, and of course the principles of truth and justice, shall guide me in my conduct nor can it be expected, when conscientiously discharging my duties under the injunctions of a solemn oath that I should commit myself to the direction of any party of men, however respectable, however praiseworthy.
At the May term of the Superior Court in Georgia, John Clark was brought before the Court on an indictment for assault and battery on the Hon. Charles Tait, while on the circuit as judge of the superior court. The defendant plead guilty, but sought to justify the assault by explanatory evidence, that judge Tait had engaged in a plan to destroy his reputation, &c. Sentence of the court, 2000 dollars fine—and bonds for good behaviour for five years, himself in the sum of five thousand dollars, and two sureties in two thousand five hundred dollars each.
At a late trial in Ireland for challenging to fight a duel, the challenger was sentenced to six months imprisonment, and penal bonds for good behaviour for seven years, the principal in the sum of 500l and two sureties in 250l each.
The late news from the theatre of war in Bavaria, received at New-York by Capt. Crockett from Amsterdam, is involved in so much uncertainty, that we were unwilling to exclude all other matters to give room to the numerous reports relative to the battle between the French army under the Emperor Napoleon, and the Austrian army under the Archduke Charles, which is said to have taken place the 20th April. The battle lasted three days. On the first Bonaparte feigned a retreat, and drew the Austrians after him—and on the second he turned upon his pursuers, and defeated them with dreadful slaughter. It is more than probable ere this the fate of Austria is decided, and her sovereign the vassal of Bonaparte, or exiled from his kingdom. The loss of the Austrians is variously stated. By some accounts it is said to amount to 25,000 killed, 10,000 prisoners, 100 pieces of cannon, and an immense quantity of ammunition, provisions, &c. and others say 60 to 80,000 killed, wounded & prisoners. The Archduke John is said to be advancing to meet the French with 80,000 men. The Emperor of Austria had returned to Vienna from the army. The Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia take no part in the new war.

WHAT IS LOVE?
BY THOMAS PAINE.
'Tis that delightful transport we can feel, Which painters cannot paint, nor words reveal, Nor any art we know of can conceal. Can'st thou describe the subdues to the blind? Or make him feel a shadow with his mind? So neither can we by description show This first of all felicities below. When happy Love pours magic o'er the soul, And all our thoughts in sweet delirium roll— When Contemplation spreads its rainbow wings, And every flatter some new transport brings, How sweetly then our moments glide away, And dreams prolong the transports of the day; We live in ecstasy, to all things kind, For Love can teach a moral to the mind. But are there not some other thoughts that prove What is this wonder of the soul call'd love! O! yes, there are, but of a different kind, The dreadful horrors of a dismal mind. Some jealous fury throws its poison'd dart, And rends in pieces the distracted heart. When Love's a tyrant, and the soul a slave, No hope remains to thought but in the grave: In that dark den it sees an end to grief, And what was once its dread becomes relief. What are the iron chains the bonds have wrought? The bond of love to break is made of thought. Think well of this, ye lovers, and be kind, Nor play with torture on a tortur'd mind.

To the Honorable the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas to be holden at Portsmouth, within and for the County of Rockingham, on the first Tuesday of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and nine.
RESPECTFULLY represent your pet- itioners that the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas holden at Portsmouth afore- said, on the first Tuesday of January, in the year of our Lord 1803, laid out a certain new highway in Deerfield, in the county of Rockingham aforesaid, beginning at the pa- rade in said Deerfield, and following the highway now used, by the meetinghouse to Timothy Morse Parsons' workshop near his house, thence running North eighty degrees west twenty rods, thence North eighty-five degrees west forty two rods, thence South eighty seven degrees west eighty-eight rods, thence South sixty-seven degrees west twenty- four rods, thence South eighty degrees west eighty rods, through the lands of the said Parsons, John French, and the estate of Daniel Barber, to and across mount Delight road over the river below Barber's Mills to an elm tree, thence north eighty three de- grees west ten rods, thence north sixty nine degrees and an half west twenty five rods, thence north eighty two degrees west sixty six rods, thence south twenty eight degrees west thirty rods, thence south fifty four de- grees and an half west thirty rods, thence south eighty nine degrees west twenty one rods, thence north seventy nine degrees west nine rods, thence south sixty two degrees and a half degrees west twenty eight rods and a half degrees west twenty eight rods, thence north sixty nine degrees west twenty rods, thence north thirty seven degrees west nineteen rods, thence north fifty two de- grees west sixty rods, thence north sixty five degrees west thirty six rods, thence north thirty nine degrees west twelve rods, thence north forty seven degrees west seven rods, thence north eighty three degrees and an half west twelve rods, thence south sixty two degrees west twenty four rods, thence south eighty nine degrees and an half west twelve rods, thence north eighty three degrees and an half west fourteen rods, thence north eighty six degrees and an half west ten rods, thence south seventy five degrees and an half west twenty two rods, thence north seventy six degrees west twelve rods, thence north fifty degrees west twenty two rods, thence north eighty one degrees and an half west four rods, thence south seventy three degrees west twenty four rods, thence south fifty nine degrees west eight rods, thence south seventy seven degrees and an half west fifteen rods, thence south sixty three degrees west seventy eight rods, thence north sixty three degrees and an half west forty seven rods, thence north eighty four degrees west eigh- teen rods, thence north fifty one degrees west twenty six rods, thence north eighty five de- grees and one quarter of a degree west twenty rods, to Allenstown line, near Simeon Johnson's house being the dividing line be- tween Allenstown and Deerfield aforesaid, both in said county, four rods in width the whole length of said highway. And your petitioners further represent that the high- way aforesaid has never been opened and made passable, and from the situation of the ground it cannot be made passable without an immense expense to the said town of Deerfield; that the town of Deerfield has lately greatly improved the old road near one above described, and leading in the same direction.
