LAWS of the UNITED STATES.
CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES AT THEIR THIRD SESSION, Begun and held at the City of Philadelphia, on Monday the 6th of December, 1790.
An ACT repealing, after the last day of June next, the duties heretofore laid upon distilled spirits imported from abroad, and laying others in their stead; and also upon spirits distilled within the United States; and for appropriating the same.
(Continued.)
AND Be it further enacted, That the said duties on spirits, distilled within the United States, shall be collected under the management of the Supervisors of the revenue.
And be it further enacted, That the said duties on spirits distilled within the United States, shall be paid or secured previous to the removal thereof from the distilleries at which they are respectively made. And it shall be at the option of the proprietor or proprietors of each distillery, or of his, her or their agent having the superintendence thereof, either to pay the said duties previous to such removal, with an abatement at the rate of two cents for every ten gallons, or to secure the payment of the same, by giving bond, quarter-yearly, with one or more sureties, to the satisfaction of the chief officer of inspection, within whose survey such distillery shall be, and in such sum as the said officer shall direct, with condition for the payment of the duties upon all such of the said spirits as shall be removed from such distillery, within three months next ensuing the date of the bond, at the expiration of nine months from the said date.
And be it further enacted, That the Supervisor of each district shall appoint proper officers, to have the charge and survey of the distilleries within the same, assigning to each one or more distilleries, as he may think proper; who shall attend such distillery at all reasonable times, for the execution of the duties by this act enjoined on him.
And be it further enacted, That previous to the removal of the said spirits from any distillery, the officer within whose charge and survey the same may be, shall brand or otherwise mark each cask containing the same, in durable characters, and with progressive numbers, and with the name of the acting owner or other manager of such distillery, and of the place where the same was situate, and with the quantity therein, to be ascertained by actual gauging, and with the proof thereof. And the duties thereupon having been first paid, or secured, as above provided, the said officer shall grant a certificate for each cask of the said spirits, to accompany the same wherever it shall be sent, purporting that the duty thereon hath been paid or secured, as the case may be, and describing each cask by its marks; and shall enter in a book for that purpose to be kept, all the spirits distilled at such distillery, and removed from the same; and the marks of each cask, and the persons for whose use, and the places to which removed, and the time of each removal, and the amount of the duties on the spirits so removed. And if any of the said spirits shall be removed from any such distillery without having been branded or marked as aforesaid, or without such certificate as aforesaid,
the same, together with the cask or casks containing, and the horses or cattle, with the carriages, their harness and tackling, and the vessel or boat with its tackle and apparel employed in removing them, shall be forfeited, and may be seized by any officer of inspection. And the superintendant or manager of such distillery, shall also forfeit the full value of the spirits so removed, to be computed at the highest price of the like spirits in the market.
And be it further enacted, That no spirits shall be removed from any such distillery at any other times than between sun rising and sun setting, except by consent and in presence of the officer having the charge and survey thereof, on pain of forfeiture of such spirits, or of the value thereof at the highest price in the market, to be recovered with costs of suit from the acting owner or manager of such distillery.
And be it further enacted, That upon stills which after the last day of June next, shall be employed in distilling spirits from materials of the growth or production of the United States, in any other place, than a city, town or village, there shall be paid for the use of the United States, the yearly duty of sixty cents for every gallon, English wine-measure, of the capacity or content of each and every such still, including the head thereof.
And be it further enacted, That the evidence of the employment of the said stills shall be, there being erected in stone, brick, or some other manner, whereby they shall be in a condition to be worked.
And be it further enacted, That the said duties on stills shall be collected under the management of the Supervisor in each district, who shall appoint and assign proper officers for the surveys of the said stills and the admeasurement thereof, and the collection of the duties thereupon; and the said duties shall be paid half yearly, within the first fifteen days of January and July, upon demand of the proprietor or proprietors of each still, at his, her or their dwelling, by the proper officer charged with the survey thereof; and in case of refusal or neglect to pay, the amount of the duties so refused or neglected to be paid, may either be recovered with cost of suit in an action of debt in the name of the Supervisor of the district, within which such refusal shall happen for the use of the United States, or may be levied by distress and sale of goods of the person or persons refusing or neglecting to pay, rendering the overplus (if any there be after payment of the said amount and the charges of distress and sale) to the said person or persons.
And be it further enacted, That if the proprietor of any such still, finding himself or herself aggrieved by the said rates, shall enter or cause to be entered in a book to be kept for that purpose, from day to day when such still shall be employed, the quantity of spirits distilled therefrom and the quantity from time to time sold or otherwise disposed of, and to whom and when, and shall produce the said book to the officer of inspection within whose survey such still shall be, and shall make oath or affirmation that the same doth contain to the best of his or her knowledge and belief, true entries made at their respective dates, of all the spirits distilled within the time to which such entries shall relate, from such still, and of the disposition thereof; and shall also declare upon such oath or affirmation, the quantity of such spirits then remaining on hand, it shall be lawful
in every such case for the said officer to whom the said book shall be produced, and he is hereby required to estimate the duties upon such still, according to the quantity so stated to have been actually made therefrom at the rate of nine cents per gallon, which, and no more, shall be paid for the same: Provided, That if the said entries shall be made by any person other than the said proprietor, a like oath or affirmation shall be made by such person.
And the more effectually to prevent evasion of the duties hereby imposed on spirits distilled within the United States
Be it further enacted, That every person who shall be a maker or distiller of spirits from molasses, sugar or other foreign materials, or from materials the growth and production of the United States, shall write or paint, or cause to be written or painted upon some conspicuous part out-side and in front of each house or other building or place made use of, or intended to be made use of by him or her for the distillation or keeping of spirituous liquors and upon the door or usual entrance of each vault, cellar or apartment within the same, in which any of the said liquors shall be at any time by him or her distilled, deposited or kept, or intended so to be, the words "Distiller of Spirits;" and every such distiller shall within three days before he or she shall begin to distill therein, make a particular entry in writing, at the nearest office of inspection, if within ten miles thereof, of every such house, building or place, and of each vault, cellar and apartment within the same, in which he or she shall intend to carry on the business of distilling, or to keep any spirits by him or her distilled. And if any such distiller shall omit to paint or write, or cause to be painted or written the words aforesaid, in manner aforesaid, upon any such house or other building or place, or vault, cellar or apartment thereof, or shall, in case the same be situate within the said distance of ten miles of any office of inspection, omit to make entry thereof as aforesaid, such distiller shall for every such omission or neglect, forfeit one hundred dollars, and all the spirits which he or she shall keep therein, or the value thereof, to be computed at the highest price of such spirits in the market; to be recovered by action with costs of suit, in any court proper to try the same, in the name of the Supervisor of the district within which such neglect or omission shall be, for the use of the United States.
Provided always, and be it further enacted, That the said entry to be made by persons who shall be distillers of spirits, on the first day of July next, shall be made on that day, or within three days thereafter, accompanied (except where the duties hereby imposed are charged on the still) with a true and particular account or inventory of the spirits, on that day and at the time, in every or any house, building or place by him or her entered; and of the casks, cases and vessels containing the same, with their marks and numbers, and the quantities and qualities of the spirits therein contained, on pain of forfeiting for neglect to make such entry, or to deliver such account, the sum of one hundred dollars, and all the spirits by him or her had or kept in any such house, building or place; to be recovered as aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That the Supervisor of the revenue for the district wherein any house, building or place shall be situate, whereof entry shall be made as last aforesaid, shall as
soon as may be thereafter, visit and inspect, or cause to be visited and inspected by some proper officer or officers of inspection, every such house or other building or place within his district, and shall take or cause to be taken, an exact account of the spirits therein respectively contained and shall mark or cause to be marked in durable characters, the several casks, cases or vessels containing the same, with progressive numbers, and also with the name of each distiller to whom the same may belong, or in whose custody the same may be, and the quantities, kinds and proofs of spirits therein contained, and these words, "Old Stock." And the inspector of each survey shall keep a book, wherein he shall enter the name of every distiller, and the particulars of such old stock in the possession of each, designating the several casks, cases and vessels containing the same, and their respective quantities, kinds, proofs and marks, and shall also give a certificate to every such distiller of the quantity and particulars of such old stock in his or her possession, and a separate certificate for each cask, case or vessel describing the same, which certificate shall accompany the same wherever it shall be sent, and such distiller, his or her agent or manager, upon the sale and delivery of any of the said spirits shall deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof, the certificate or certificates that ought to accompany the same, on pain of forfeiting fifty dollars for each cask, case or vessel, with which such certificate shall not be delivered.
And be it further enacted, That every importer of distilled spirits, who, on the first day of July next, shall have in his or her possession any distilled spirits, shall, within three days thereafter, make due entry thereof with the officer of inspection within whose survey the same shall then be; who shall mark the casks, vessels or cases containing such spirits, in like manner as is herein before directed, touching such spirits as shall be in the possession of distillers on the first day of July next, and shall grant the like certificates therefor as for such spirits, which certificates shall accompany the respective casks, cases and vessels to which they shall relate, wherever they shall be sent, and such importer, his or her agent, upon the sale and delivery of any of the said spirits, shall deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the certificate or certificates which ought to accompany the same, on pain of forfeiting fifty dollars for each cask, case or vessel with which such certificate shall not be delivered. And if any such importer or importers shall refuse or neglect to make such entry at the time and in the manner herein directed, all such spirits as shall not be so entered shall be forfeited, and the importer or importers in whose custody the same shall be found, shall moreover forfeit the sum equal to the full value thereof, according to the highest price of such spirits in the market.
And be it further enacted, That if any cask, case or vessel containing distilled spirits, which by the foregoing provisions of this act, ought to be marked and accompanied with a certificate, shall be found in the possession of any person unaccompanied with such marks and certificate, it shall be presumptive evidence that the same are liable to forfeiture, and it shall be lawful for any officer of inspection to seize them as forfeited; and if, upon the trial in consequence of such seizure, the owner or claimant of the spirits seized, shall not prove that the same were imported into the United States according to law,

or were distilled as mentioned in the thirteenth and fourteenth sections of this act, and the duties thereupon paid, or were distilled at one of the stills mentioned in the twentieth section of this act, they shall be adjudged to be forfeited.
And be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for the officers of inspection of each survey, at all times in the day time, upon request, to enter into all and every the houses, store-houses, ware-houses, buildings and places, which shall have been entered in manner aforesaid, and by tasting, guaging or otherwise, to take an account of the quantity, kinds and proofs of the said spirits therein contained; and also to take samples, thereof, paying for the same, the usual price.
And be it further enacted, That if any person or persons shall rub out or deface any of the marks set upon any cask, vessel or case, pursuant to the directions of this act, such person or persons shall, for every such offence, forfeit and pay the sum of one hundred dollars.
(To be continued.)
ANNAPOLIS (Maryland) March 31.
Early on Friday morning last, this city was honored by the arrival of the PRESIDENT. Intelligence having been received of his intended embarkation at Rock-Hill, he had been anxiously expected on Thursday evening, but the Governor and several other gentlemen, who had failed to meet him, were compelled to return without tidings. The vessel, which contained the Chief Treasure of America, did not enter the river Severn until ten o'clock, in a dark tempestuous night. She struck on a bar, or point, within about a mile of the city; and although they made signals of distress, it was impossible before day-light, to go to her relief. The Guardian Angel of America was still watchful; and we are happy in assuring our countrymen that the health of their dearest friend has not been at all affected by an accident far more distressing to those who were apprized, or rather apprehensive of his situation, than to himself.
ALEXANDRIA, (Virg.) March 31. Yesterday, about 3 o'clock arrived here the President of the United States on his way to Mount Vernon.
ALBANY, April 4.
We are informed that Arihur Noble , Esq. has already commenced distilling the Maple Sap and Juice of the Birch , in Cooperstown , and has produced a spirit, equal in strength and superior in flavour, to any heretofore distilled from Molasses or Sugar, in the United States. A sugar-tree yields about 2 quarts of strong spirit—but the quantity the birch will give is not yet known, tho' it is ascertained it will yield a spirit.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2.
His Excellency the Governor of this Commonwealth has issued a PROCLAMATION, offering a reward of one thousand dollars to any person or persons who shall apprehend and secure, so that they may be brought to Justice, the men, or any of them, who were guilty of murdering three men and one woman belonging to a party of friendly Indians, at a Block-House on the West-side of Beaver Creek, in the county of Alleghany , the 9th inst.
NEW-HAVEN, April 6.
A few days since, was purchased in this city, (where it was spun) linen yarn of so fine a texture, that the purchaser paid for it, an equal weight of silver, to that of the weight of the yarn.
BOSTON, April 16.
THE PRESIDENT of the United States, agreeably to the power vested in him by the New Revenue Act, has been pleased, to divide this Commonwealth into three Surveys of Inspection, viz. The district of Maine , which is designated Survey, No. 1. —The county of Essex , comprizes Survey, No. 2. —and the county of Suffolk , with the counties to the southward thereof,
Survey, No. 3. —And has been pleased, to appoint the
Hon. JONATHAN JACKSON, Esq. Inspecting officer, in Survey, No. 2. —& LEONARD JARVIS, Esq.
Inspecting officer, in Survey, No. 3. —The Inspectorship of the other Survey , is placed in the Hon. Mr. GORHAM, Supervisor of the Commonwealth.
Mr. WILLIAM BALCH, of this town, is appointed Ensign in the 2d Regiment of the United States.
The general rendezvous of the new-raised troops, is to be at New-Brunswick, New-Jersey .
Speculation is at a dead stand, since the interest on the debt of the United States has commenced paying at the several LOAN-OFFICES. Of course, real estates and lands will rise in value; money will be more plenty—Enterprise will be encouraged—Industry will be rewarded—and Manufactures, Commerce and Agriculture promoted. These being sure and certain, one might ask, without the charge of exultation,— “What think ye of Congress now?”
Extract of a letter from Newport, April 11.
“The Captain of a vessel, arrived here from South-Carolina , informs, that the villain who assumed the name of our beloved President, was executed some days before. He confessed at the gallows, that his real name was Walsh . Before his trial, he sent 100 guineas to Mr. PINKNEY, an Attorney, to appear in his behalf in Court; but Mr. PINKNEY, sent the money back, and would not advocate the villain's cause. At our Supreme Court, last week, at South Kingston , two fellows received sentence of death, for Burglary, to be executed the 27th May . One goes by the name of Johnson , an Irishman; the other is named Mount , of New-Jersey . Several other persons were convicted of forgery, horse stealing, &c. —One Church , of Hopkinton , was convicted of both forgery and horse-stealing—and was sentenced to receive 117 lashes at three several times—to be pilloried, branded, pay a fine of 100 dollars, forfeit all his estate, and be banished from this State, not to return on pain of death. Irish has petitioned the Court, three times to admit him to bail, which they have refused him—but have allowed his Council [Dr. BRADFORD, and Hon. Mr. BOURNE,] to visit him in gaol, as often as they please —As also his friends.”
Extract of a letter from Greensburgh, West-morland county , dated April 1.
“On the 22d of March a party of Indians came to the Alleghany river opposite to Owen's Island , where there was a few families settled, there were five Indians came into the house of one Cutright , and asked for victuals, which was immediately given them; and as soon as they were done eating, one of the Indians (called Capt. Bullet ) told Cutright he must give him his gun, the other refused, and immediately he drew his tomahawk and killed Cutright ; then Cutright's son struck the Indian with an ax and killed him; immediately another Indian struck young Cutright , and the three fell together; and it is said by a number of women and children, who made their escape, there were two other Indians killed, and fourteen made their escape: Several of whom have made oath that these savages were Senekes , and that they were well acquainted with them.
“This affair caused the greatest uneasiness on all the frontiers, and the people assembled in bodies. The next day a number of men along the river turned out volunteers; and I believe the people are mostly gone home. Col. Campbell has ordered out 150 of the militia, but they are exceeding ill off for arms and ammunition.”
We are informed, that Dr. LEMUEL HAYWARD , and Dr. AARON DEXTER , have been elected Members of the LONDON MEDICAL SOCIETY.
THE English Newspapers received by the late arrivals, are so barren of information, that no opinion can be formed of the real intentions of the Court of London. Some writer on the Political state of Europe, has told us,
that the cessation of hostilities between England and Spain, is not worthy the name of a Peace, but is merely a Truce—and that Mr. Burke , (the independent Mr. Burke ) is become a PENSIONER. These are sage conjectures—we suppose they are not intended for realities, or they would have been rather better supported.
THE affairs which principally engage the attention of the British Legislature are, Bottany-Bay Settlement — Toleration of the Roman Catholics — Contested Elections —The appropriation of the unclaimed Dividends to the reduction of the National Debt—The prosecution of the Impeachment of Warren Hastings —The alteration of the existing laws on Libels—The arrangement of India Affairs—New Canadian Government—Corn Bill, &c.
MARRIED ]—In London, WILLIAM FRANKLIN, Esq. son to the late Dr. FRANKLIN, and formerly Governor of New-Jersey, to Mrs. DEVELIB.

Mr. OGDEN, introduced by a prayer by the Rev. Mr. BUCKMINSTER, accompanied with an Ode written by the Rev. Doctor HAVEN, suitable to the occasion of the day, and set by the Music-Master of the Academy, to be performed with vocal and instrumental Music.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Port-au-Prince, to his friend in Baltimore, dated March 5.
“On the second inst. two men of war and a frigate arrived from France, with two regiments for this place. The General ordered them the same evening, to proceed to the mole, which they refused, saying they were sent by the National Assembly, to revenge the injury done the citizens of Port-au-Prince, last July. Col. Mauduit *, (who ordered the troops to fire on the people last July) endeavoured, two evenings past, to persuade his men to oppose these troops, but without success. Yesterday the citizens demanded the colours, which were taken from them on the night of the 29th of July, to be returned. This Mauduit complied with and was compelled, by his own regiment, to accompany the colours to the committee chamber, from whence they had been taken. A shout was then raised to behead him, which was executed by one of his own grenadiers, notwithstanding the efforts to rescue him from the enraged soldiery. His cloaths were torn from his body, his head fixed on a bayonet, and his naked body dragged through the streets, until they arrived at his lodgings, which were soon levelled with the
ground. The general and most of the citizens of his party have made their escape, and every thing is in the greatest confusion.
* This unfortunate officer was the Chevalier Mauduit Dupleffis , who served with reputation in the late American army.
The President of the United States, by a proclamation dated the 30th ult. has directed that the whole of the Territory for The permanent Seat of the Government of the United States, shall be located and included within the lines following, that is to say,
“Beginning at Jone's Point , being the upper Cape of Hunting Creek in Virginia , at an angle, in the outset, of forty-five degrees west of the north, and running in a direct line ten miles for the first line; then beginning again at the same Jone's Point , and running another direct line, at a right angle with the first, across the Potowmac , ten miles for the second line: then from the terminations of the said first and second lines, running two other direct lines, of ten miles each; the one crossing the Eastern Branch aforesaid, and the other the Potowmac , and meeting each other in a point.”
The inhabitants of the town of Portland , have taken into consideration the subject of the separation of the District of Maine , into an Independent State; and have committed the same to the Rev. Mr. DEANE, Mr. HALL, Mr. DAVIS, Major ILSLEY and Mr. FREEMAN, who are to report at May meeting.
Capt. Stickney , in the brig Minerva , arrived at Portland on the 13th inst. after a passage of five weeks from Portsmouth, in England. A number of ships of the line, frigates, &c. destined to the Baltic, were equipping and manning with the utmost expedition. While Capt. Stickney was in Portsmouth there was a warm Press—from which no one was free who could speak the English language. They were twice on board the Minerva —and Capt. Stickney was obliged to send his men on shore, and there keep them secreted.
On the 17th ult. in lat. 44, 30. long. 41. Capt. Stickney fell in company with the brig Resolution , Capt. Robert Palmer , from Amsterdam, bound to New-York—three months out. On the 16th the Resolution suffered considerable damage in her rigging, in a gale of wind.
THE FEDERAL CITY
On the Potowmac , will include above 4500 acres of land. The proprietors in this district, give up their lands, on the condition of receiving, after the town is laid off one half of the lots so laid off; and the President has the sale of the other half, for the use of the public; which will, it is said, produce the sum of three hundred thousand pounds. The spot for the public buildings is not yet fixed on.
