EIGHTH CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES, at the Second Session begun and held at the City of Washington, in the Territory of Columbia, on Monday the fifth of November one thousand eight hundred and four.
An act for ascertaining and adjusting the titles and claims to land, within the territory of Orleans, and the district of Louisiana.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That any person or persons, and the legal representatives of any person or persons, who on the first day of October, in the year one thousand eight hundred, were resident within the territories ceded by the French Republic to the United States, by the treaty of the thirtieth of April, one thousand eight hundred and three, and who had prior to the said first day of October, one thousand eight hundred, obtained from the French or Spanish governments respectively, during the time either of the said governments had the actual possession of said territories, any duly registered warrant or order of survey for lands lying within the said territories, to which the Indian title had been extinguished, and which were on that day actually inhabited and cultivated by such person or persons, or for his or their use, shall be confirmed in their claims to such lands in the same manner as if their titles had been completed: Provided however, That no such incomplete title shall be confirmed, unless the person in whose name such warrant or order of survey had been granted, was at the time of its date, either the head of a family or above the age of twenty-one years; nor unless the conditions and terms on which the completion of the grant might depend, shall have been fulfilled.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That to every person, or to the legal representative or representatives of every person, who being either the head of a family or twenty-one years of age, had prior to the twentieth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and three, with the permission of the proper Spanish officer, and in conformity with the laws, usages and customs of the Spanish government made an actual settlement on a tract of land within the said territories, not claimed by virtue of the preceding section, or of any Spanish or French grant made and completed before the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred, and during the time the government which made such grant, had the actual possession of the said territories, and who did on the said twentieth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and three, actually inhabit and cultivate the said tract of land; the tract of land thus inhabited and cultivated shall be granted: Provided however, That not more than one tract shall be thus granted to any one person, and the same shall not contain more than one mile square, together with such other and further quantity as heretofore has been allowed for the wife and family of such actual settler, agreeably to the laws, usages and customs of the Spanish government: Provided also, That this donation shall not be made to any person who claims any other tract of land in the said territories by virtue of any French or Spanish grant.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That for the purpose of more conveniently ascertaining the titles and claims to land in the territory ceded as aforesaid, the territory of Orleans shall be laid off into two districts, in such manner as the President of the United States shall direct: in each of which, he shall appoint, in the recess of the Senate, but who shall be nominated at their next meeting for their advice and consent, a register; who shall receive the same annual compensation, give security in the same manner, and in the same sums, and whose duties and authorities shall in every respect be the same in relation to the lands which shall hereafter be disposed of at their offices, as are by law provided with respect to the registers in the several offices established for the disposal of the lands of the United States, north of the river Ohio and above the mouth of Kentucky river.—The President of the United States
shall likewise appoint a recorder of land titles in the district of Louisiana, who shall give security in the same manner and in the same sums, and shall be entitled to the same annual compensation, as the registers of the several land offices.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That every person claiming lands in the above mentioned territories, by virtue of any legal French or Spanish grant, made and completed before the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred, and during the time the government which made such grant, had the actual possession of the territories, may, and every person claiming lands in the said territories, by virtue of the two first sections of this act, or by virtue of any grant or in complete title bearing date subsequent to the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred, shall before the first day of March, one thousand eight hundred and six, deliver to the register of the land office, or recorder of land titles, within whose district the land may be, a notice in writing, stating the nature and extent of his claims, together with a plat of the tract or tracts claimed; and shall also, on or before that day, deliver to the said Register or Recorder, for the purpose of being recorded, every grant order of survey, deed, conveyance or other written evidence of his claim; and the same, shall be recorded by the Register or Recorder, or by the translator hereinafter mentioned, in books to be kept by them for that purpose, on receiving from the parties at the rate of twelve and a half cents for every hundred words contained in such written evidence of their claim: Provided however, that where lands are claimed by virtue of a complete French or Spanish grant as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary for the claimant to have any other evidence of his claim recorded, except the original grant or patent, together with the warrant or order of survey and the plat; but all the other conveyances or deeds shall be deposited with the Register or Recorder to be by them laid before the commissioners hereinafter directed to be appointed, when they shall take the claim into consideration. And if such person shall neglect to deliver such notice in writing of his claim, together with a plat as aforesaid, or cause to be recorded such written evidence of the same, all his right so far as the same is derived from the two first sections of this act, shall become void, and forever thereafter be barred; nor shall any incomplete grant, warrant, order of survey, deed of conveyance, or other written evidence which shall not be recorded, as above directed, ever after be considered, or admitted as evidence in any court of the United States, against any grant derived from the United States. The said Register and Recorder shall commence the duties hereby enjoined on them, on or before the first day of September next, and continue to discharge the same, at such place in their respective districts, as the President of the United States shall direct.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That two persons to be appointed, by the President alone, for the district of Louisiana, and two persons, to be in the same manner appointed for each of the districts directed by this act to be laid off in the territory of Orleans, shall together with the Register or Recorder of the district for which they may be appointed, be commissioners for the purpose of ascertaining within their respective districts the rights of persons claiming under any French or Spanish grant as aforesaid, or under the two first sections of this act.—The said commissioners shall previous to their entering on the duties of their appointments, respectively take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation before some person qualified to administer the same: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will impartially exercise and discharge the duties imposed on me by an act of Congress, entitled, 'An act for ascertaining and adjusting the titles and claims to land within the territory of Orleans and the district of Louisiana' to the best of my skill and judgment." It shall be the duty of the said commissioners to meet in their respective districts, at such place as the President shall have directed therein, for the residence of the Register or Recorder, on or before the first day of Decem-

ber next, and they shall not adjourn to any other place, nor for a longer time than three days until the first day of March, one thousand eight hundred and six, and until they shall have completed the business of their appointment. Each board, or a majority of each board, shall in their respective districts, have power to hear and decide in a summary manner all matters respecting such claims, also to administer oaths to compel the attendance of, and examine witnesses, and such other testimony as may be adduced, to demand and obtain from the proper officer and officers, all public records in which grants of land, warrants, or orders of survey, or any other evidence of claims to land, derived from either the French or Spanish governments may have been recorded; to take transcripts of such records or records, or of any part thereof, to have access to all other records of a public nature, relative to the granting, sale, transfer, or titles of lands, within their respective districts; and to decide in a summary way according to justice and equity, on all claims filed with the register or recorder in conformity with the provisions of this act, and on all complete French or Spanish grants, the evidence of which, though not thus filed, may be found of record on the public records of such grants; which decisions shall be laid before Congress, in the manner hereinafter directed, and be subject to their determination thereon: Provided however, that nothing in this act contained, shall be construed so as to recognize any grant or incomplete title bearing date subsequent to the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred, or to authorize the commissioners aforesaid to make any decision thereon. The said boards respectively shall have power to appoint a clerk whose duty it shall be to enter in a book to be kept for that purpose, full and correct minutes of their proceedings and decisions, together with the evidence on which such decisions are made, which books and papers, on the dissolution of the boards, shall be deposited in the respective offices of the registers of the land offices, or of the recorder of land titles of the district; and the said clerk shall prepare two transcripts of all the decisions made by the commissioners in favor of the claimants to land; both of which shall be signed by a majority of the said commissioners and one of which shall be transmitted to the officer exercising in the district the authority of surveyor general; and the other to the secretary of the treasury. It shall likewise be the duty of the said commissioners to make to the secretary of the treasury a full report of all the claims filed with the register of the proper land office, or recorder of land titles as above directed, which may have been rejected, together with the substance of the evidence adduced in support thereof, and such remarks thereon as they may think proper; which reports together with the transcripts of the decisions of the commissioners in favor of the claimants, shall be laid by the secretary of the treasury before Congress at their next ensuing meeting. When any Spanish or French grant, warrant, or order of survey, as aforesaid, shall be produced to either of the said boards, for lands which were not at the date of such grant, warrant, or order of survey, or within one year thereafter, inhabited, cultivated, or occupied, by or for the use of the grantee; or whenever either of the said boards shall not be satisfied that such grant, warrant, or order of survey, did issue at the time when the same bears date, but that the same is antedated or otherwise fraudulent; the said commissioners shall not be bound to consider such grant, warrant, or order of survey, as conclusive evidence of the title; but may require such other proof of its validity as they may deem proper. Each of the commissioners and clerks aforesaid shall be allowed a compensation of two thousand dollars in full for his services as such; and each of the said clerks, shall, previous to his entering on the duties of his office, take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation—to wit: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will truly & faithfully discharge the duties of a clerk to the board of commissioners, for examining the claims to land, as enjoined by an act of Congress entitled "An act ascertaining and adjusting the titles and claims to land within the territory of Louisiana, and the district of Louisiana." Which oath or affirmation shall be entered on the minutes of the board. Sec. 6. And be it further enacted , That the secretary of the treasury shall be, and he is hereby authorized to employ three agents, one for each board, and who shall be allowed a compensation not to exceed one thousand five hundred dollars each for the purpose of appearing before the commissioners, in behalf of the United States, to investigate the claims for lands, and to oppose all such as said agents may deem fraud-
ulent and unfounded. It shall also be the duty of the said agent for the district of Louisiana, to examine into, and investigate the titles and claims, if any there be, to the lead mines within the said district, to collect all the evidence within his power with respect to the claims to, and value of the said mines, and to lay the same before the commissioners, who shall make a special report thereof, with their opinions thereon to the secretary of the treasury to be by him laid before congress at their next ensuing session. The said board of commissioners shall each be authorized to employ a translator of the Spanish and French languages to assist them in the dispatch of the business which may be brought before them, and for the purpose of recording Spanish and French grants, deeds or other evidence of claims on the registers books. The said translator shall receive, for the recording done by him, the fees already provided by law and may be allowed not exceeding fifty dollars, for every month, he shall be employed; provided that the whole compensation other than that arising from fees, shall not exceed six hundred dollars.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted , That the powers vested by law in the surveyor of the lands of the United States south of the state of Tennessee, shall extend over all the public lands of the United States, to which the Indian title has been, or shall hereafter be extinguished, within the said territory of Orleans; and it shall be the duty of the said surveyor, to cause such of the said lands as the President of the United States shall expressly direct, to be surveyed and divided, as nearly as the nature of the country will admit, in the same manner, and under the same regulations as is provided by law, in relation to the lands of the United States north west of the River Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky River.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted , That the location or locations of lands which Major General La Fayette is by law authorized to make on any lands, the property of the United States, in the territory of Orleans, shall be made with the Register or Recorders of the land offices established by this act in the said territory: the surveys thereof shall be executed under the authority of the surveyor of the lands of the United States, south of Tennessee; and a patent or patents therefor shall issue, on presenting such surveys to the secretary of the treasury, together with a certificate of the proper register or recorders, stating that the land is not rightfully claimed by any other person: Provided, That no location or survey made by virtue of the section shall contain less than one thousand acres, nor include any improved lands or lots, salt spring or lead mine.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted , That a sum not exceeding fifty thousand dollars, to be paid out of any unappropriated monies in the treasury, be, and the same is hereby appropriated for the purpose of carrying this act into effect.

FROM THE BOSTON CHRONICLE.
An invidious attempt has been recently made by the Boston Junto , to arraign the wisdom and consistency of Mr. JEFFERSON in his governing capacity. The shafts of calumny have been long directed against his private honor, with a wanton and unprofitable temerity; but they have proved only ruinous to the party who gave them action: they have now resorted to another mode of attack, which is more manly, although it is equally fallacious.
As this is the only nation upon the habitable globe where the deeds and principles of the government can be duly canvassed, we might presume that a desire to maintain that privilege would prevent a misuse of such an enviable superiority; with the good and the great it certainly would—but with the base and the illiberal, and treasonable part of society, it certainly will not. The reason of this defection from true policy is obvious, as the promulgation of truth would defeat their dishonest purposes. The political existence of their faction is guarded by sophistry and defamation, and their mischievous importance is interwoven with guilt and folly.
The anglo federal editors have recently changed their ground of abuse, and now inveigh in silly malignity against Mr. Jefferson, because a few French privateers have infested the coasts of the Carolinas, and exercised a spirit of marauding that has been uniformly common to the pursuits of privateers of all nations: but in this spirit of naval peculation, the several governments to which such privateers belong have never been considered as responsible, in any other way, than as private actions for individual malefaction could be enforced by evidence, and the perpetrators mulcted or punished by fine or imprisonment, or both. Then wherefore is this hue and cry raised against the wisdom of the Executive authority, for suffering this diminutive evil, and laboring to attach the despoliment to the government of France? The answer will be brief and clear. It arises from a tremulous hope in this monarchical Junto, to make the people unmindful, or forgetful, of the numerous insults & injuries that have been committed against their dignity and prosperity, by the frigates of his Britannic majesty, whose depredations and insolence have not merely been winked at, or countenanced by the British administration, but the very insults have been raised to higher credit and advantages in their fatal navy, against whom most heavy complaints were made by the American government, at the common desire of the aggrieved citizens of America.
The Centinel , in speaking of such depredations and offences, affects a squeamish regret, that we have not a naval establishment, equal to the resistance of these enormities; and would infer, from its non-existence, that Mr. Jefferson was regardless of the public good: yet this loud yell among the royalists, for the formation of a navy, never occurred when the Cambrian frigate of England, and other British ships of war, of the same country, were anchored within our harbor at New-York, to menace our constituted authorities, and carry our seamen into an infernal captivity. On these trying occasions the federal lambs were either silently enjoying these degrading offences, on the part of their beloved friends and allies, the British, or extenuating or apologising for such harsh measures, by every artifice that fraud or falsehood, or subtlety could suggest—Nay, some had the effrontery even to dare our government on those unpleasant occasions, and threaten us with the vengeance of those tyrants, whom we had previously overthrown in the contests of popular virtue.
Divesting these insidious labors of their false coloring, their spirit and meaning amounts to this plain fact—They wish, (to use the language of the Centinel ) to have such a navy only put in commission, "as will prevent the buccaneers of the present day from committing their depredations in the mouths of our harbors and on our coast." That is, they wish to have force enough to embroil our government with France, for the unauthorised depredations of its subjects; but do not wish for a naval establishment that could counteract the authorised depredations of the British government's immediate officers and agents. The anglo-federalists contemplate the attainment of two points by this partial manoeuvre: the first is to create an inextinguishable antipathy between America and France, by a second edition of JOHN ADAMS's childish crusade against French happiness; and the second is, to create the basis of an inextinguishable debt, by the introduction of taxes, upon Mr. PITTS's accursed model; well knowing that our liberties would be lost in the influx of corruption, if it succeeded; and, if it did not, that the popularity of the government would be endangered by the proceeding.
Boding politicians have adopted a proverb, that the want of news is an indication of the prosperous state of the world; what then must we think of the prosperity of our political affairs, when there is not even a single measure of our general government, which can excite disquiet and discussion, tho' there is a party in this country, who with all the anxious avidity of the hawk, are continually watching for their prey? No wars: no armies to disgust us by their presence and cast a gloom over our future prospects: no excise gatherers to gage our skills, to measure our windows, and to excite our indignation; no sedition law to muzzle the press and introduce suspicions into the convivial circle; no proscription. Our government seems to have realised that admirable theory, which the most enlightened politicians have delighted to contemplate; where the administration is scarcely seen on the theatre of action, and man is left to the undisturbed exercise of his individual energies. Not a solitary basis can be found for even federal cavil or federal denunciation.— Richmond Enq.

HIS Excellency Gov. Harrison has received information from St. Louis, that expectations are entertained, that the Sac Indians will be diverted from their intended expedition to revenge the death of one of their tribe lately confined at St. Louis.
WASHINGTON CITY, JULY 17.
By a circular letter from the Secretary of State dated on the 12th July, 1805, the Consuls and Commercial Agents of the U. States are instructed to forbear to issue any certificate whatever relative to purchases of foreign vessels by citizens of the U. States, except to such persons as may satisfy the Consuls and Commercial Agents, that the purchase was made without knowing this alteration in their instructions; and they are also restrained from allowing the exception itself after the expiration of two months from the date of the advertisement they are directed to publish of this instruction.
JULY 19.
Among the new arrangements of the General Post Office lately adopted, it is with great pleasure we state that a contract has been entered into for a line of stages, to convey the mail weekly, to Frankfort, in Kentucky, to commence on the first day of October next.—When this arrangement shall have been carried into effect, the whole seventeen states will be united by a connected line of stages. It is unnecessary to say a word of the vast advantages that will be derived from this measure. It is, however, a merited tribute to the services of the Postmaster General, to remark that his spirited and successful arrangements to extend and accelerate the progress of the mail, are the best and most conclusive replies which can be made to the calumnies with which party animosity assails his conduct.— N. Int.
NEW-YORK, JULY 20.
A gentleman who came passenger in the brig New-York, informs us that the British Guineaman which had an engagement with 2 French privateers off Savannah, had arrived at Tybee, after beating them both off. She shattered one of them nearly to pieces, and would have taken her had she had a sufficient number of men. The Guineamen lost two men, and her carpenter had both his legs shot off.
By the ship Rose in Bloom , we have received Charleston papers to the 13th inst. Capt. Burdick informs us that previous to his sailing a report prevailed there that the British frigate Leander had a few days before sent her boats up the River St. Mary's and retook a ship and a brig which had been captured a short time before by a privateer fitted out from St. Augustine; and had also taken a French or Spanish privateer, supposed to be that which had made the above captures.
By Charleston papers to the 9th inst. we observe, that the ship Two Friends , captured off that harbor by a French privateer, has been retaken and carried into one of the Bahamas.
SALEM, JULY 20.
FISHERMEN IMPRESSED!! It is with strong feelings of indignation, we notice the impression of our fishermen by the British. Several fishing vessels from Marblehead, Beverly, and Salem, have lately been fallen in with by the English frigate Ville de Milan , Capt. Laurie, cruising on the Banks, and had twelve or fourteen of their best men forcibly impressed and carried off to Halifax, to serve his Britannic Majesty, in his "just and necessary war against France." We fear that many others may experience a similar fate; and should this be the case, our industrious fishermen will be obliged to quit the Banks, and return home. As it is, we know not what security they will receive, that the practice may not be followed up for the season. What have we done that mer-
its this treatment? Have we injured British subjects? Do we take their seamen? No, we respect their rights, and they are bound to respect ours. The friends of the unfortunate impressed men, (aided by the generous exertions of some individuals) have dispatched a vessel for Halifax, with documents proving the citizenship of every individual impressed. The vessel failed on Thursday last, and we hope will return with the men—we understand they are all native citizens, and we believe born within the county of Essex. It is said the British Consul residing in Boston, has advised the Admiral on the Halifax station to give up the men. The advice is reasonable, and the Admiral will certainly find it for the interest of his Government to surrender them immediately. If it has come to this, that our fishing and bay craft cannot sail in security, we may as well meet Great-Britain "single handed" at once, and try who is the strongest? Will she risk this? We think not. But surely it is enough in all conscience to see TWO THOUSAND SEAMEN taken from the Merchant ships of the United States, in less than two years; and now, being borne with that outrage, we are to witness still further injury, and the fishermen are to be torn from their families and country, to fight in the wars of George the Third! Will our coasting vessels be safe in future? Perhaps not—and it may be found that we shall be visited in our very harbours by British cruizers, hunting after their prey! The Ville de Milan was lately captured from the French, and as the Capt. declared, "wanted hands." Good God! "wanted hands," and what was that to us? Are we to find them? It seems we are—but if so, better stop all intercourse with Great Britain immediately, and let the "green mountain boys" march to Canada, than to sleep much longer in inglorious ease.
FROM PLYMOUTH, JULY 20.
"Sch. Miles Standish, Capt. Davie, arrived this day from Lisbon—48 days passage. Capt. Dutton came passenger, and is the bearer of important dispatches for government from Mr. Monroe, respecting the negotiations between Spain and the United States. Mr. M. had left Madrid, the negotiations having been broken off. Capt. D. proceeds on to Washington immediately, via Boston.
OPERATIONS AGAINST TRIPOLI.
A letter from Malta, dated April 19, 1805, says—"Our preparations for another expedition against Tripoli, are making with great activity; and probably the operation will commence in June. A vessel has been dispatched to Egypt, with stores, to the assistance of the Bahaw, who says he has a legal right to the rule of Tripoli.—Mr. E. is there, to assist him to regain his rights; and to attack his brother by land, while the American squadron bombards it from the sea."
FROM NEWBEDFORD, JULY 23.
"We learn by Mr. Harrod, supercargo of the ship Hannah , from Trieste and Gibraltar, that the U. S. Schooner Enterprise , capt. Robertson, has been entirely rebuilt at Venice, and would be ready to sail for Syracuse the 10th May. The U. States frigate Boston (the Constitution being in company) captured a Tripolitan cruiser and took two Neapolitan vessels, her prizes and carried them into Malta. The Hannah brought dispatches for government from our Mediterranean squadron."
American Silks .—In the year 1804, there were raised in the town of Mansfield, Con. between 12 and 1300 pounds of well dried raw silk; every pound of which, when made into sewing silk, is worth about seven dollars, and finds a ready market at Boston, Providence, &c. Should the manufacture of silk be properly attended to by our citizens, they would ere long be able to produce enough to supply the union, and some for exportation.
M. Horden, a sculptor of great celebrity at Paris, and M. Vincent, of the French Academy of Painting, have accepted seats as honorary members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
VOLUNTEER TOAST, given at Windsor, (Vermont) on the 4th of July.
"Our brethren in Tripoli and Connecticut—May the former be freed from Pirates, the latter from Priestcraft."
All Federalists, all Republicans. It is very common to hear a Federalist say, "I am a Republican, if I understand what republicanism means." This is indeed a precious confession from men, who, five years ago, treated the very name of Republicanism with contempt. Federalism, with her 14 votes, looks so low, and republicanism with her 162 votes, looks so high, that few people like to be called Federalists. Federalism is a wretched trade in these days, and it is no wonder that Federalists are disposed to call themselves republicans.

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY JULY 30, 1805.
MEDITERRANEAN AFFAIRS. In addition to the information given in our last received by Mr. Harrod, (arrived at Newburyport, from Trieste and Gibraltar,) we are further informed, that Gen. Eaton, who was in the vicinity of Alexandria, in concert with the ex-bahaw, were going against Tripoli with an army of 20,000 Arabs. He also learnt that the American Squadron would commence their operations about the 1st July, when our "smallest competent force" will no doubt do all in their power to subdue this heretofore unconquerable race of barbarians. Centinel.
From the WEST-INDIES.
Mr. Thayer, just arrived from the West-Indies, informs, that he left Guadalupe the 2d inst. (the latest arrival from that quarter) at which time none of the English prizes reported to have been taken by the combined fleet and sold, had arrived there or at Martinique: Nor had any correct accounts of their having been burnt reached that Island. Some of the officers and crews of the vessels captured had arrived at Guadalupe; and they reported, that the vessels captured, fifteen in number, had been sent off under convoy of two frigates.
Capt. T. was informed by one of the French officers, that when they left France, they supposed their destination was the East-Indies; and they had on board passengers for that quarter of the globe.
The troops which embarked at Guadalupe, were all re-embarked before the combined fleet quitted the West-Indies.
The force of the combined fleet has been accurately stated. It was composed of a tail of the line, 6 of them Spanish. They were mostly very fast sailing vessels. The Charleston account of the arrival of a third fleet from France, at Martinique, is wholly unfounded.
Capt. Williams from Guadalupe, mentions the general report in the West-Indies that the French fleet, when in the West-India latitudes had only three days fast of Lord Nelson. His opinion, however, is, that the French can out sail the English.
One of the American prizes captured by a Guadalupean privateer, was lately sent in with the United States Union revenged. The Americans highly relished the indignity; and the colours were speedily struck and hoisted in a proper manner.
Letters from London, mention that Mrs. Eliza Bonaparte, wife of Jerome, receives every mark of attention and hospitality, from the English nobility and people. She is attended by her brother and Dr. Caverly, an eminent French physician—the same who accompanied her in her visit to this town, last summer. We have no correct accounts of the fate of her husband, since he left Lisbon. It is not impossible, as a French officer, he will be tried for disobedience of orders, in not returning to Europe, in the frigate sent out for him, and imprisoned. We have heard it said, that before Mr. Livingston left Paris, one of the French Ministry informed him, that the Emperor had thoughts, as Jerome had connected himself with the daughter of an American merchant, of settling him in the United States; and requested Mr. L. to name what would be a proper establishment for him. Mr. Livingston accordingly named, we understand, 50,000 dollars, for a town; and 20,000 dollars for a county house, per annum. This the Emperor did not think too large; and Mr. Livingston was asked to mention the funds in which it would be most advantageous to invest the money.
An article, having sometime since appeared in the Richmond Enquirer, inferring from the contents of an English print, that the late treaty between this country and Great Britain had been renewed for one year; we have made enquiries, which justify us in believing the inference to be entirely incorrect. An act, we understand, has passed the British Parliament, re-enacting, in whole or in part, the provisions of the statute originally passed for carrying the treaty into effect. It is probable that this circumstance occasioned the error, which the federal prints, have seized with avidity as a pretext for libelling the consistency and character of the administration. Unfortunately, however, for them, no such treaty has been formed, nor do we believe that any overtures to form such a treaty have on our part been made. It is presumable from the passage of the above noticed act, that a disposition exists on the part of Britain to renew the provisions of Mr. Jay's treaty. Nat. Intel.
Sch. Fair Lady, Capt. Caldwell, of Portland, was struck with lightning, on the 14th June, on her passage to the Havanna, her fore-topmast carried away, fore-mast considerably injured, and one man, Capt. John Cheat, of Portland, killed.
It is the opinion of most discerning men of both parties, that the Feds are now eating their Last Leaf. Boston can increase its Representatives no more. The Country has now the last fire, and may take aim coolly. Argus.
The Governor and Council will meet in this town on the first Wednesday in September next.
COMMUNICATION.
A HINT, Or a word to the wife. Much has been said of the new brick Buildings forming a barrier between the northern and southern parts of the town, to prevent the communication of fire. We have been well nigh witnessing an interesting experiment on this head. There was a cry of fire the other evening. An alarming blaze appeared at a window of a three story wooden house, just about north westward of the court-house; very near, and situated in the midst of a group of wooden buildings, whence an alarm once or twice before had proceeded, since the great fire. The blaze was from a window-curtain which caught fire by accident. It was soon extinguished. But it is said had it been at the other window it must have communicated to other curtains, &c. &c.; the room probably almost instantaneously must have been filled with impenetrable flame & smoke—with a considerable wind at north west what must have probably become of the house, and court-house? and if the flame had once overpassed the supposed barrier, how far had it to progress to reach the sleepers, &c. &c. ! It would doubtless have saved the trouble of removing the state-house !
But so long as that same state-house is suffered to remain where it is like a tinder box or often lighted match, between the north and south ends, we had best say but little about barriers.
A MIDWAY INHABITANT.
The late capture of the British ship Two Friends, off Charleston Bar, by a French privateer, is made the pretext for much clamor in the federal prints against our administration—as if Mr. Jefferson could prevent the French from lying in wait for prizes off our ports, any more than Mr. Adams (with all his navy) did the British, who were pre-eminent for this insolent practice. Mr. Carpenter, the British editor of the Charleston Courier, [these patriot spirits slumbered when the harbor of New York was blockaded by the Cambrian, whose commander has been promoted by his detestable government for his outrages on the American coast] speaking of this subject and with some provocation to be sure, in the heavy icks sustained by his English friends, commences a philippic against our executive in this modest and appropriate manner: "I wish that ***** [Jefferson] was in chains in Tripoli instead, of Captain Bainbridge, lieut. Osborne, and the other brave fellows who are in slavery there." Luther Baldwin was fined and imprisoned for wishing that the wad of a gun had hit Mr. Adams. But this is Anglo federal decency and respect for constituted authorities. B. Z.
It gives us pleasure to behold the unbounded rejoicings of our countrymen, in almost every part of the union, on the return of the glorious anniversary of American Independence. Our papers from the North, from the South, the East, and the West, abound with the proceedings of our citizens on this auspicious day. Its return ought to expand the heart, and warm the breast of every friend of freedom. He has abundant reason to rejoice and be glad; not exclusively because our freedom was proclaimed in 1776, but because it has withstood the malice, the envy, and the assaults of its enemies, and is the same in 1805, that it was when we were contending with a tyrant, and bursting his chains. Is this not a subject of congratulation! —who would not rejoice! Rejoice because our rulers are men of talents, virtue and integrity—because the people are happy, contented and thriving—because the principles of our revolution are kept in holy remembrance, and the services of the whigs estimated with becoming importance. [Newark Centinel]
The national festival (says the Aurora) has been celebrated throughout the Union, with the accustomed animation of patriotic sentiment and demonstration of gratitude to the revolutionary sages and heroes, who were denounced as "malcontents" by lord George Germaine, and stigmatized as ragged rebels by Henry Dundas—men who have been since disgraced—while the founders of the revolution have obtained a place among the most celebrated benefactors of mankind.
A Dr. Joseph Breuist of Baltimore, has published an account of a cure he effected on one of his children (who was brought to the brink of the grave by the disorder most incident to children in summer time, flux and vomiting,) by making strong tea of the common black-berry brier leaf, with a little milk and sugar added to make it palatable. On the second day after drinking it, the disorder was stopped, and the child recovered. Its simplicity ought not to prevent its being tried—as there is frequently more virtue in simples in such cases than in all the drugs a physician can administer.
WAR WITH MOROCCO.
Capt. Howell, of the brig Eliza, which has arrived at New York from Leghorn, via Gibraltar, bears dispatches from Capt. Decatur, of the Congress, for our government. It was expected that an immediate war would take place between the Emperor of Morocco and the United States. There were already two Moorish frigates cruising for Americans. The United States brig Syren, Capt. Stewart, had taken her station off Gibraltar, and was ordered to cruise between Cape Sparrel and Mogadore, to intercept any prizes that these frigates might make. On the 16th May Capt. Howell was chased and fired at by a Tripolitan Xebec of 17 guns, but escaped by superior sailing; at this time she was only 8 hours sail from the Congress. The Algerine fleet were out—consisting of the Glory, of 44 guns; Hagiam Mulapha, of 44; Hassam Bahaw brig of 18, and a Xebec of 18, and were cruising for Neapolitans and Genoese. They treated Capt. H. with particular politeness. A Portuguese fleet of two 74's and a frigate were cruising in the Gut of Gibraltar.
Eight days ago, off Bermuda, was boarded by a French privateer, only 10 days from Baffeterre, (Guad.) who informed that the French fleet under Admiral Villeneuve had taken on board all the white troops both at Martinique and Guadalupe, and that their destination was positively for Ireland.
MORE BRITISH AMITY !!
Extract of a letter from Thomas E. Oliver, late mate of the American brig Minerva, to his friend in this place, dated 17th June, on board the Diana Frigate, then by the Isle of Rose, on a cruise.
"YOU will be assisted at my misfortune when I tell you my situation on board this vessel—and the distressing means which placed me here.—On the 28th of May I was taken, and impressed on board this British frigate Diana, commanded by Thomas James Melling—who has on board his vessel Forty other Americans, who have had the misfortune to be placed here, by the same violent means, which were made use of to constrain me—besides the interruption from our business, the painful detention from our families and friends—the want of almost every comfort of life, which we should, under the most favorable circumstances, in such a situation,—necessarily suffer.—The usage we here meet with is peculiarly distressing.—Were we prisoners to the Bahaw of Tripoli,—we could hardly receive more savage treatment. Four or five of my countrymen, have been taken to the gangway,—two dozen lashes have been inflicted at a time.—Let us do what we may to excite kind treatment, we are sure to be treated worse than dogs.—we are continually kicked or stabbed.—I have myself been stabbed three times with a cutlass, twice in my left side, and once in my left shoulder.—Should we arrive in any port, I will endeavor to make escape, let the hazard be what it may, for I would rather prefer to die than to exist in such a situation."
N. B. Mr. Oliver was proceeding to give a list of the names of the Americans impressed on board, and was prevented after mentioning
WILLIAM LAWRANCE, of Salem, and JOHN BARNES.
...DIED....
In the Havanna, Capt. WILLIAM WALKER, aged 28, master of a ship out of this port, son of Mr. Tobias Walker.—In the death of Capt. Walker, community at large have sustained a loss. He was an enterprising, capable man, and an honest upright character. We sincerely sympathize with his truly afflicted parents and brethren and sisters, in the loss of this their amiable son and brother, and we trust they have this evidence to comfort them, that their loss is his unspeakable gain!
In Salem, very suddenly, of a violent nervous fever, attended with convulsions—Mr. WILLIAM CARLETON, aged 33 years, Editor and printer of the Salem Register. By his industry and devotion to the Constituted Authorities of our Nation, he originated, and preferred in increasing reputation, that excellent paper. By every sincere friend of his country, he will be regretted as a honest, upright, and worthy member of society.
In New York, for the week, 61 persons.
New-Haven.—It is stated, on the authority of letters from thence, that the yellow fever had made its appearance there, said to have been imported from Porto Rico.—One of the custom-house officers is reported to have taken the fever on board the vessel and to have died; and a letter received in town yesterday mentions, the additional death of Mr. Townsend, a respectable merchant.—Six or seven persons, it is said, have fallen victims to the contagion.
In this town, Mrs. ELIZABETH SALTER, the amiable consort of Capt. Richard Salter, aged 54. In the death of Mrs. Salter, an affectionate husband is deprived of a kind and tender companion, and a number of children are bereft of a most affectionate mother.—Also, in this town, Deacon SOLOMON COTTON, one of the officers of the South church in this town—who, in the humble walks of life, sustained a character for honesty, industry, sobriety, and many other virtues worthy of being copied by the living.
On the 23d inst. died in the 60th year of his age, Thomas Dekey, a man of colour, and a native of the city of New-York.—His remains were attended to the silent grave, by a procession of a respectable number of men and women of colour, whose decent deportment was truly exemplary, and whose solemn decorum discovered the sympathy of their hearts for the loss of their aged and departed friend.—Nor was the family, in which the deceased lived for many years past, as a faithful domestic, deficient in their marks of gratitude, and in the wearing a proper sense of their own bereavement, by joining the procession of those, who were paying their last respect, in the funeral obsequies to the grave of the deceased, whose complacency of manners and faithful services merited, and obtained their united esteem; and as he thus lived beloved by them, they as sincerely lament his death, and heavenly hope and wish, that he may inherit that blessed Eternity, of "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord."
AN ORATION,
Pronounced at St. John's Church on the 4th July by Mr. RICHARD EVANS, has just been published and is now for sale at this office,—Subscribers are requested to call for their books.—The following errata in those numbers which have been delivered, is to be noticed;—in page 14, fifth line from top, for national government, read rational government;—in page 17, ninth line from top, for portion of kings, read portion of kings;—in page 19, fifth line from bottom for general soil of liberty, read genial soil of liberty.—The following is an Extract from the above Oration—
Americans, are you sensible to the blessings you possess? Will you prefer to rank with nations, who recognize in supreme power the sum of political right? or, will you maintain to yourselves—distinct systems, laws congenial to freedom, and an independent suffrage? Will you teach your sons to bow the neck to a despot and to kiss the hand of the murderer drenched in the blood of their children?—Or will you defend all systems founded on that odious doctrine, which declares mankind unequal to the power of governing themselves!
Compare your situation as a nation: is there any other upon earth whose circumstances are so favorable? Separated by the Atlantic,—from the contentious States of Europe;—you have but little to fear from their intrigues or their armies.—On your frontiers; you behold the remains of the aboriginal tribes, smoking the calumet of peace.—In your councils, wisdom presides as the head;—and justice, judgement, and truth—are her support. In your cities, your towns, your villages, the churches of the living God are established;—and your religion is the devotion of the heart.—Nurtured in the genial soil of liberty, genius springs forth in her energies;—the temples of science arise; the arts are encouraged; labor meets its sweet reward; and humanity with all her gentle offices covers the land!
Nation of America, what more do you wish for? Ah! there is a wish.—Tripoli?—but, we will not curse thee:—thou art but an instrument in the hand of that Being, who governs the universe—thy arm was feeble, in the contest; but who can turn aside the decrees of Heaven.—We were in danger of forgetting the great first cause, which determines the destinies of nations: but we bow in deep humility, we remember our fallen brethren: they on this day—think of their country!—the vital current rushes indignantly to their chains!—Brethren, thy country, thy children, are still free;—we do not forget thee;—we will hush the voice of discontent,—we will harmonize with each other;—party spirit shall be done away from the land;—it may be, that a God of mercy will look unto us—and will return you,—our brothers!—to a pleasant home, and to a grateful country.

THIS DAY PUBLISHED, And for sale by the Author in Congress Street, and by Henry Ranlet, Exeter, a Sermon entitled,
"The Day of Judgment, revealed by the King of Glory and his servants," collected from the records of his kingdom, and published to the world in general, for their good.—By ELIAS SMITH.
N. B. In this sermon the punishment of the wicked at the last day is stated to be one of three things—Either a state of misery without end—or a limited punishment, and then to be made happy—or such a punishment as will put a final end to their existence after the day of Judgment. The last of these three is mentioned in the above Sermon to be the scripture truth—This being the truth, the doctrine called Universalism is overthrown, like "the fabric of a baseless vision, which leaves not a wreck behind."

Miscellaneous Repository.
From the AMERICAN CITIZEN.
The following Lines, on the anniversary of our Independence, written in haste by the fair authoress, after candle light on the evening of the third, came too late for insertion on the fourth instant.
RETIRE ye ling'ring clouds of night, Retire and bid the morn appear, That more to grateful our sight, Which ever claims proud rapture's tear. Hail to the beam that made us free, The day that gave us liberty, Oft as returns the circling year, To patriot bosoms still more dear.
They fly! the last dark floating cloud Has fled—and lo! the orient ray; No envious mists his glories shroud— But rosy hours lead on the day.
Around his ear wild fancy's eye, Thro' blushing Eiber o'er plain, Gay loves that bound with agile spring, Or graceful wave the downy wing. Come, too, ye soft and od'rous gales; That o'er old Ocean's bosom play, Awhile defer the swelling sails, Which erst ye fill'd in vager play: Breathe your cool spirit o'er our plains, And with new life inspire our veins, Combine fair nature's ev'ry charm, The sense to please, the heart to warm.
Hush'd on this day be mis'ry's sigh, Care's gloomy brow be cheer'd the while, Let dark remorse and anguish fly, Ev'n wan despair shall wear a smile. This day we dedicate to bliss, To friendship, mirth and happiness; Then be each care expell'd the breath, And in the gen'ral joy be blest.

From the REPUBLICAN ADVOCATE.
THE COUNTRY PARSON—No. 1.
GIRLS! maidens! widows! wives! there has a Country Parson come to town. "God bless him!" the girls will smirkingly say, and ask, "is he a gay fellow?"—The young women will titter, and inquire, "is he married?" The widows will trim their caps with new lace, put on their Sunday looks, and exclaim, "What! a Parson ?"—And the wives will all protest they will go and hear him preach—but, milkmaid ye not, you sweet and bewitching creatures—you rose-buds and blooming roses! the Country Parson is not a fashionable sermonizer: He is a grave old gentleman, that weareth spectacles, and taketh snuff out of a horn box; and, moreover, he discourseth not from the pulpit, but from the desk. Possessed not of the garrulity common to old age, however, his sermon, as well as his text, shall be short.
BEGIN IN TIME.
Three words my brethren, of great importance, both to your worldly and spiritual welfare, when rightly considered:
Albert possessed, at the death of his father, a wide domain. He planned vast improvements; and intended to ameliorate the condition of his tenants. He daily contemplated this object, and resolved to set about it quickly. He thought of it in the morning and in the evening; but the follies and fashions of the times engrossed him for the remainder of the day: till he would do it—he was determined on it. Thus he continued until he had arrived at the age of forty, when he set about it in good earnest: But, ere he could complete his project, he died. He did not begin in season.
Clarissa was an enchanting girl—handsome, but not accomplished. She wished to be pious and godly; but she was so young—and had so many admirers; and it would do when she grew older. She fell sick: death hovered about her. Then she wanted religion; it was then she would begin. It was too late. She died in a phrenzied state. She did not begin in time.
Tom Dashall had a habit of swearing.—He would fain mend it; he resolved on doing it; and he would begin soon. He kept on, however, to the age of fifty, and was then a disgusting object of profanity. He began to mend; but next year he departed this world. He did not begin in time.
Sam Thirsty was fond of strong drink.—His friends told him if he persisted it would kill him. Sam laughed thinking he could leave it off when he pleased. He grew old and grew worthless. Then he strove against it; but it was all in vain: He did not begin in time.
Timothy Giddy chose to be a lawyer.—He would study hard—that he would.—He frolicked with the men, coquetted with the girls: Yet he would begin to apply himself closely very soon. He went on in the old way, frolicking, coquetting and resolving, till the time came for him to appear at the bar. He knew nothing of law. He had every thing to learn. He was laughed at and scorned. He did not begin in time.
So it is with all things in life, my brethren. Whatsoever you have to perform therefore, do presently, left you die, and the work should be left unfinished: Whether it be for the improvement of the heart, of the mind, or of your estate, begin in time.

Pearse & Walker,
Have just received for Sale, "Dearborn's Proportional BALANCES." THESE instruments for weighing, are of such utility as to be fast getting into general use. To state every advantage in the use of them would be superfluous; suffice it to say, they may be "purchased for half the cost and used with half the labour of scales and weights;" for "ease, dispatch and precision," they surpass any thing of the kind extant. The frequent demand for them through the states and elsewhere, is of sufficient proof of their usefulness and merited approbation. April 30th, 1805.
Fullers Earth.
THE Proprietors of the WASHINGTON MINES, in Newfield, state of Massachusetts, have the pleasure of presenting to the public the genuine FULLERS EARTH.
As many advantages may arise to different kinds of Manufacturers, such as Clothiers, silk Dyers, and Hatters, by using it.—The proprietors flatter themselves that they shall meet with suitable encouragement and patronage from their fellow citizens. The utility of the FULLERS EARTH is estimated so high in England, that a heavy penalty is annexed to its Exportation. It exceeds all kinds of soap, in cleaning of Woolens, Silks, and Cottons, will extract any kind of Grease, and leave the colour clearer and more transparent.
In order that it may be done effectually, let the FULLERS EARTH be moderately dried, in an oven, or over a small fire. Then mix'd with warm water, made into a thin paste, put on and dried on the spots, and then a brush may be used to cleanse it. The Grease will be extracted and the colours left perfect.
Hatters may derive great advantages in the use of the Fullers Earth, as it will cleanse more effectually, than Soap, and less labor required.—Many experiments having been made to prove it.
As the proprietors are sensibly impressed with the very great importance of the FULLERS EARTH—especially to Clothiers, they therefore take the liberty of recommending the following manner of using it.
Take three pounds of dried FULLERS EARTH, to a bucket of water, let it dissolve, wet the cloth in the usual way for scouring; let the cloth go into the Fulling stock one hour, put on your scouring water, and let it go, till the water comes clear from the cloth. The cloth will then be clean, and soft—and half the quantity of soap for Fulling is necessary. The Cloth will cover better on the Warp, and will be twenty per cent easier to finish and color.
But not confining its use to manufacturers, it may be observed, that SEAMEN will find it highly beneficial, as in cleansing their clothes, salt water may be adopted in the room of fresh.—It likewise may be very serviceable to private families, as Baizes, Flannels and Woollen Hose wash'd with it, will prevent them from shrinking, and in cleansing many kinds of household furniture, its use is far preferable to soap, Rotten Stone, or Whitening—as it leaves no tarnish behind.
As the proprietors of the Washington Mines reprobate every kind of misrepresentation respecting the properties of the Fullers Earth, so they are firmly persuaded, that many after having used it, will join with them, in recommending its great utility.
N. B. The Fullers Earth wholesale and retail may be had at the stores of Messrs. WM. JONES and JOSEPH GAVET, spring hill. Portsmouth, June 4, 1805.
