AT THE FIRST SESSION.
Began and held at the City of Washington, in the Territory of Columbia, on Monday the Seventh of December, one thousand eight hundred and one.
AN ACT To regulate trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, and to preserve peace on the frontiers.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the following boundary line, established by treaty between the United States and various Indian tribes, shall be clearly ascertained, and distinctly marked in all such places as the President of the United States shall deem necessary, and in such manner as he shall direct, to wit: Beginning at the mouth of the Cayahoga river on Lake Erie, and running thence up the fame to the portage between that and the Tuscaroras branch of the Muckingum; thence down that branch, to the crossing place above Fort Laurence; thence Westwardly to a fork of that branch of the Great Miami river running into the Ohio, at or near which fork stood Laromie's store, and where commences the portage, between the Miami of the Ohio and St. Mary's river, which is a branch of the Miami, which runs into Lake Erie; thence a Westwardly course to Port Recovery, which stands on a branch of the Wabash; thence South-westwardly, in a direct line to the Ohio, so as to intersect that river, opposite the mouth of Kentucky or Cuttawa river; thence down the said river Ohio to the tract of one hundred and fifty thousand acres, near the rapids of the Ohio, which has been assigned to general Clarke, for the use of himself & his warriors; thence around the said tract, on the line of the said tract, till it shall again intersect the said river Ohio; thence down the fame to a point opposite the high lands or ridge between the mouth of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers; thence South-eastwardly on the said ridge, to a point, from whence a South-west line will strike the mouth of Duck river; thence, still eastwardly on the said ridge, to a point forty miles above Nashville; thence north east to Cumberland river; thence up the said river to where the Kentucky road crosses the fame; thence to the Cumberland Mountain, at the point of Campbell's line; thence in a south-westwardly direction along the foot of the Cumberland mountain to Emory's river; thence down the fame to its junction with the river Clinch; thence down the river Clinch to Hawkins's line; thence along the fame to a white oak, marked one mile tree; thence south fifty-one degrees west, three hundred and twenty-eight chains to a large ash tree on the bank of the river Tennessee, one mile below South-west Point; thence up the North-east margin of the river Tennessee (not including islands) to the Wild Cat Rock, below Tellioco block-house; thence in a direct line to the Militia spring, near the Maryville road leading from Tellioco; thence from the said spring to Chilhowee mountain by a line so to be run as will leave all the farms on Nine-mile creek to the Northward and eastward of it, and to be continued along the Chilhowee mountain until it strikes Hawkins's line; thence along the said line to the great Iron mountain; and from the top of which a line to be continued in a south-eastwardly course to where the most southern branch of Little river crosses the divisional line to Tugaloo river; thence along the South Carolina Indian boundary to and over the Oconee mountain, in a south-west course to Tugaloo river; thence in a direct line to the top of Currahee mountain, where the Creek line passes it; thence to the head or source of the main south branch of the Oconee river, called the Appalachee; thence down the middle of the said main south branch and river Oconee, to its confluence with Oakmulgee,
which forms the river Altamaha; thence down the middle of the said Altamaha, to the old line on the said river; and thence along the said old line to the river St. Mary's: Provided always, That if the boundary line between the said Indian tribes and the United States shall, at any time hereafter, be varied, by any treaty which shall be made between the said Indian tribes and the United States, then all the provisions contained in this act shall be construed to apply to the said line so to be varied, in the same manner, as said provisions apply, by force of this act, to the boundary line herein before received.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That if any citizen of, or other person resident in, the United States, or either of the territorial districts of the United States, shall cross over, or go within the said boundary line, to hunt, or in any wise destroy the game; or shall drive, or otherwise convey any stock of horses or cattle to range on any lands allotted or secured by treaty with the United States, to any Indian tribes, he shall forfeit a sum not exceeding 100 dollars, or be imprisoned not exceeding six months.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That if any such citizen, or other person, shall go into any country which is allotted, or secured by treaty as aforesaid, to any of the Indian tribes south of the river Ohio, without a passport first had and obtained from the governor of some one of the United States, or the officer of the troops of the United States, commanding at the nearest post on the frontiers, or such other person as the President of the United States may, from time to time, authorize to grant the same, shall forfeit a sum not exceeding 50 dollars, or be imprisoned not exceeding 3 months.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That if any such citizen or other person, shall go into any town, settlement or territory belonging, or secured by treaty with the United States, to any nation or tribe of Indians, and shall there commit robbery, larceny, trespass or other crime, against the person or property of any friendly Indian or Indians, which would be punishable, if committed within the jurisdiction of any state, against a citizen of the United States; or, unauthorized by law, and with a hostile intention, shall be found on any Indian land, such offender shall forfeit a sum not exceeding 100 dollars, and be imprisoned not exceeding 12 months: and shall also, when property is taken or destroyed, forfeit & pay to such Indian or Indians, to whom the property taken & destroyed belongs, a sum equal to twice the just value of the property so taken or destroyed: and if such offender shall be unable to pay a sum at least equal to the said just value, whatever such payment shall fall short of the said just value, shall be paid out of the treasury of the United States: Provided nevertheless, That no such Indian shall be entitled to any payment out of the treasury of the United States, for any such property taken or destroyed, if he, or any of the nation to which he belongs, shall have sought private revenge, or attempted to obtain satisfaction by any force or violence.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted That if any such citizen, or other person, shall make a settlement on any lands belonging, or secured, or granted by treaty with the United States, to any Indian tribe, or shall survey, or attempt to survey, such land, or designate any of the boundaries, by marking trees, or otherwise, such offender shall forfeit a sum not exceeding 1000 dollars, and suffer imprisonment, not exceeding twelve months. And it shall, moreover, be lawful for the President of the United States to take such measures, and to employ such military force, as he may judge necessary, to remove from lands belonging, or secured by treaty, as aforesaid, to any Indian tribe, any such citizen, or other person, who has made, or shall hereafter make, or attempt to make a settlement thereon.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That if any such citizen, or other person, shall go into any town, settlement or territory belonging to any nation or tribe of Indians, and shall there commit murder, by killing any Indian or Indians, belonging to any nation or tribe of Indians, in amity with the United States, such offender, on being thereof convicted, shall suffer death.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That no such citizen, or other person, shall be permitted to reside at any of the towns, or hunting camps, or any of the Indian tribes as a trader, without a license under the hand and seal of the superintendent of the department, or of such other person as the President of the United States shall authorize to grant licenses for that purpose: which superintendent, or person authorized, shall on application to such trader, for a term not exceeding two years, to such trader, who shall enter into bond with one or more sureties approved of by the superintendent, or person issuing such license, or by the President of the United States, in the penal sum of 1000 dollars conditioned for the true and faithful observance of such regulations and restrictions, as are, or shall be made for the government of trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes: and the superintendent, or person issuing such license, shall have full power and authority to revoke such license, if the person so licensed shall transgress any of the regulations, or restrictions, provided for the government of trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes; and shall put in suit such bonds as he may have taken, or the breach of any condition therein contained.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That any such citizen or other person, who shall attempt to reside in any town or hunting camp, of any of the Indian tribes, as a trader, without such license, shall forfeit all the merchandise offered for sale to the Indians, or found in his possession, and shall, moreover be liable to a fine not exceeding 100 dollars, and to imprisonment not exceeding 30 days.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That if any such citizen, or other person, shall purchase, or receive of any Indian, in the way of trade or barter, a gun, or other article commonly used in hunting, any instrument of husbandry, or cooking utensil, of the kind usually obtained by the Indians, in their intercourse with white people, or any article of clothing excepting skins or furs, he shall forfeit a sum not exceeding 50 dollars, and be imprisoned not exceeding 30 days.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That no such citizen, or other person, shall be permitted to purchase any horse of an Indian, or of any white man in the Indian territory, without special license for that purpose; which license, the superintendent, or such other person, as the President shall appoint, is hereby authorized to grant, on the same terms, conditions and restrictions, as other licenses are to be granted under this act: and any such person, who shall purchase a horse, or horses, under such license, before he exports such horse or horses for sale, & within fifteen days after they have been brought out of the Indian country, shall make a particular return to the superintendent, or other person, from whom he obtained his license, of every horse purchased by him, as aforesaid; describing such horses, by their colour, height, and other natural or artificial marks, under the penalty contained in their respective bonds. And every such person, purchasing a horse or horses, as aforesaid, in the Indian country, without a special license, shall for every horse thus purchased, and brought into any settlement of citizens of the United States, forfeit a sum not exceeding 100 dollars, and be imprisoned not exceeding 30 days. And every person, who shall purchase a horse, knowing him to be brought out of the Indian territory, by any person or persons, not licensed, as above, to purchase the same, shall forfeit the value of such horse.
Sec. 11. And be it further enacted, That no agent, superintendent, or other person authorized to grant a license to trade, or purchase horses, shall have any interest or concern in any trade with the Indians, or in the purchase or sale of any horse to, or from any Indian, excepting for and on account of the United States: and any person offended herein, shall forfeit a sum not exceeding 1000 dollars, and be imprisoned not exceeding 12 months.
Sec. 12. And be it further enacted, That no purchase, grant, lease, or other conveyance of lands, or of any title or claim thereto, from any Indian, or nation, or tribe Indians, within the bounds of the United States, shall be

of any validity, in law or equity, unless the same be made by treaty or convention, entered into pursuant to the constitution: and it shall be a misdemeanor in any person, not employed under the authority of the United States, to negotiate such treaty or convention, directly or indirectly, to treat with any such Indian nation, or tribe of Indians, for the title or purchase of any lands by them held, or claimed, punishable by fine not exceeding 1000 dollars, and imprisonment not exceeding 12 months: Provided nevertheless , that it shall be lawful for the agent or agents of any state, who may be present at any treaty held with Indians under the authority of the United States, in the presence, and with the approbation of the commissioner or commissioners of the United States, appointed to hold the same, to propose to, and adjust with the Indians, the compensation to be made, for their claims to lands within such state, which shall be extinguished by the treaty.
Sec. 13. And be it further enacted , That in order to promote civilization among the friendly Indian tribes, and to secure the continuance of their friendship, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, to cause them to be furnished with useful domestic animals, and implements of husbandry, and with goods or money, as he shall judge proper, and to appoint such persons, from time to time, as temporary agents, to reside among the Indians, as he shall think fit: Provided that the whole amount of such presents, and allowance to such agents, shall not exceed 15,000 dollars per annum.
Sec. 14. And be it further enacted , That if any Indian, or Indians, belonging to any tribe in amity with the United States, shall come over or cross the said boundary line, into any state or territory inhabited by citizens of the United States, and there take, steal or destroy any horse, horses, or other property, belonging to any citizen or inhabitant of the United States, or of either of the territorial districts of the United States, or shall commit any murder, violence or outrage, upon any such citizen or inhabitant, it shall be the duty of such citizen or inhabitant, his representative, attorney or agent, to make application to the superintendent, or such other person as the President of the United States shall authorize for that purpose; who, upon being furnished with the necessary documents and proofs, shall, under the direction or instruction of the President of the United States, make application to the nation or tribe, to which such Indian or Indians shall belong, for satisfaction; and if such nation or tribe shall neglect or refuse to make satisfaction, in a reasonable time, not exceeding twelve months, then it shall be the duty of such superintendent or other person authorized as aforesaid, to make return of this doings to the President of the United States, and forward to him all the documents and proofs in the case, that such further steps may be taken, as shall be proper to obtain satisfaction for the injury: and in the mean time, in respect to the property so taken, stolen, or destroyed, the United States guarantee to the party injured, an eventual indemnification: Provided always , That if such injured party, his representative, attorney, or agent, shall, in any way, violate any of the provisions of this act, by seeking, or attempting to obtain private satisfaction or revenge, by crossing over the line, on any of the Indian lands, he shall forfeit all claim upon the United States, for such indemnification: And provided also , That nothing herein contained shall prevent the legal apprehension or arresting, within the limits of any state or district, of any Indian having so offended: And provided further , That it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, to deduct such sum or sums, as shall be paid for the property taken, stolen or destroyed by any such Indian, out of the annual stipend, which the United States are bound to pay to the tribe, to which such Indian shall belong.

cases, where the punishment shall be death, it shall be lawful for the governor of either of the territorial districts where the offender shall be apprehended, or into which he shall be brought for trial, to issue a commission of oyer and terminer to the superior judges of such district, who shall have full power and authority to hear and determine all such capital cases, in the same manner as the superior courts of such district have in their ordinary sessions: and when the offender shall be apprehended, or brought for trial into any of the United States, except Kentucky or Tennessee, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, to issue a like commission to any one or more judges of the supreme court of the United States, and the judge of the district, in which such offender may have been apprehended or shall have been brought for trial; which judges, or any two of them, shall have the same jurisdiction in such capital cases, as the circuit court of such district, and shall proceed to trial and judgment, in the same manner as such circuit court might or could do.

Sec. 18.

Sec. 19. And be it further enacted , That nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent any trade or intercourse with Indians living on lands surrounded by settlements of the citizens of the United States, and being within the ordinary jurisdiction of any of the individual states; or the unmolested use of a road from Washington district to Mero district, or to prevent the citizens of Tennessee from keeping in repair the said road, under the direction or orders of the governor of said state, and of the navigation of the Ten-
nessee river, as reserved and secured by treaty; nor shall this act be construed to prevent any person or persons travelling from Knoxville to Pigeon settlement on Obed's river, (so called) provided they shall travel in the trace or path which is usually travelled, and provided the Indians make no objection; but if the Indians object the President of the United States is hereby authorized to issue a proclamation, prohibiting all travelling on said traces or either of them, as the case may be, after which, the penalties of this act shall be incurred by every person travelling or being found on said traces, or either of them, to which the prohibition may apply, within the Indian boundary, without a passport.

And be it further enacted , That this act shall be in force from the passage thereof; and so far as respects the proceedings under this act, it is to be understood, that the act, entitled "An act to amend an act, entitled, an act giving effect to the laws of the United States within the district of Tennessee," is not to operate.
NATHANIEL MACON, Speaker of the House of Representatives. A. BURR, Vice-President of the United States, and President of the Senate. APPROVED, March 30, 1802. TH: JEFFERSON, President of the United States. From the National Intelligencer. TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
NO. II. WHEN the republican administration came into place, they seized the first moments of their power as the most auspicious to universal conciliation. As theirs was a triumph of principle, and not merely of men, every citizen, of whatever political character, was invited to rally round the standard of a government of which the national good should be the sole pursuit.
The President, while he avowed himself a republican in principle, and announced that he should be one also in practice, offered with unexampled magnanimity, a liberal participation of subordinate honor, emolument, and influence, to those citizens, usually denominated federal, who had been his most decided political opponents. Selecting men to preside over the departments on whose talents and congenial sentiments he could rely to council and assist him in the discharge of the great functions peculiarly attached to himself, he suffered to remain in the unmolested enjoyment of office nine-tenths of the occupants, who were almost without exception anti-republican.
Here then was profession followed by practice; with the power of displacing more than one thousand officers, he removed less than a tenth part; and of those displaced, by far the greater number had failed to comply with the legal provisions attached to their respective offices. Can the annals of politics furnish a brighter example of forbearance, and can there be quoted the history of any vanquished party, that has been treated with equal respect?
The forbearance of the chief magistrate, while it astonished, confounded the leaders of the prostrate party. They had predicted on the prevalence of republican principles the entire dismission of their friends. Judging of their opponents by themselves, they had proclaimed to the people, over and over again, that this would be the inevitable effect.
Overcome by the justice, and still more by the generosity of the measures of the chief magistrate, opposition was paralysed, and party spirit began rapidly to subside. Unprejudiced men, who, had stood foremost in the opposition to the election of the President, acknowledged their delusion, and united in bestowing the merited recompense of his patriotic exertion.
Thus flood public opinion at the meeting of the legislature. With them it rested to give effect to many of the measures of the Executive, as well as to redress evils, whose cure was not within his reach. No sooner was this sacred duty commenced, than the suspended opposition of faction was roused. The minority found themselves but about a third part of the House of representatives, and the progressing change of public opinion threatened their small numbers not only with diminution, but with total annihilation. The crisis was desperate, and called for councils prompt and energetic. The leaders of the fallen party in the House of representatives were young men, flushed with the temporary possession and abuse of power, and rushing with impatient speed to the goal of ambition. In the last moments of expiring aristocracy, one had been appointed minister of war,* and another minister plenipotentiary to France.† Both had declined their appointments, not because they were hostile to office, but because they knew they could not retain them, and because they knew that if accepted, they would only be the vain pawns of a day, and objects of national derision, instead of respect.
Who could expect wisdom or forbearance from the councils of such men, thus swayed * Mr. Griswold. † Mr. Bayard.
by personal feeling? One of whom, demonstrating the ascendence of personal passion over political principle, to vindicate his tarnished fame, had violated the laws of his country in personal combat; and the other of whom had wielded the cudgel, in the presence of the representatives of the people, against an old man who had excited his ire.
I have been thus minute in my reference to these two men, because they form the mighty foundation, on which all the efforts of the opposition rest. There are satellites; but they shine with borrowed and feeble light; here you find one man who talks Greek without understanding it; and there you behold another, whose measure of intellect is so small that his vote is sure to belie his speeches. What ambition prompts, man will pursue. It is the character of this ascending passion, to behold with unconcern the convulsions of empire, so long as those convulsions minister to its gratification. Subjugated by this passion, and stung with disappointment, it is surprising that these men, exclaiming "the world is made for Cæsar"—deemed it need to act like Cæsar.
Like him, in his situation and with his views, they have acted. From the first day of the session to the last, they have traduced the reputation of the President, they have reviled his counsellors, they have treated with contumely the majority of the legislature, they have heaped accumulated insult upon the people. Into the midst of a nation profoundly tranquil, they have carried, with the whole strength of party, the torch of "dissension and civil war." They have said to the representatives of a great majority of the American people, beware! Invade our exclusive rights, put down our abuses, dismiss our partisans, save millions to the nation on which our panders riot; and we will pronounce the constitution violated, and punish you with death . We will rule you, or we will dissolve the union; the bayonet shall do the pious work; and your women and children may be our victims. Gracious God! Is it possible, that men, who have sworn to support a constitution, whose object is to protect, should be the first to threaten carnage and death; not merely upon men who may possess power to resist, but upon women and children, whom neither innocence nor weakness can save from the vengeance of disappointed ambition.

Between the French Republic, the King of Spain, and the Batavian Republic on the one part, and His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland on the other.
THE First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French Nation, and His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom, &c. equally animated by a desire to put a stop to the calamities of war, have laid the foundations of the peace, by the Preliminary Articles signed at London, the 1st Oct. 1801; and as, by the 15th article of the said Preliminaries, it has been agreed "That there shall be nominated on the one part and the other, Plenipotentiaries, who shall resort to Amiens, to draw up the Definitive Treaty, in concert with the allies of the contracting parties;" the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French Nation has appointed Citizen JOSEPH BONAPARTE, Counsellor of State; and His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland, the Marquis CORNWALLIS, Knight of the most illustrious Order of the Garter, &c.; His Majesty the King of Spain, and the Government of the Batavian Republic, have appointed, for their Plenipotentiaries, Don JOSEPH NICHOLAS D'AZARRA, &c. and ROGER JOHN SCHIMMELFENNICK, &c. who, after having exchanged in due form, their powers, which are hereafter stated, have agreed to the following articles:
ART. I. There shall be peace, amity & a good understanding between the French Republic, the King of Spain, his heirs and successors, and the Batavian Republic, on the one part; and His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland, his heirs and successors, on the other part.
The contracting parties shall endeavour to maintain a perfect harmony between them and their States, without suffering, on either side, any sort of hostility by land or sea, under any pretence whatever; they shall carefully avoid every thing which may, in future, disturb the union so happily established, and shall afford neither aid nor protection, directly or indirectly, to those who would prejudice either of them.
II. All the prisoners made on either side, by land or by sea, and the hostages taken or given during the war, and to the present time, shall be restored, without ransom, in six weeks, at farthest, to reckon from the day of the exchange of the ratifications of the present Treaty, after paying the debts contracted during their captivity. Each contracting party shall (liquidate) pay, respectively, the advances made by either of the contracting parties for the subsistence and maintenance of prisoners in the country where they shall have been detained. There shall be appointed a special commission to establish and regulate the compensation due either party. The time and place of meeting of the Commissioners, charged with the execution of this article, shall be fixed in concert; they shall state an account, not only of the expenses for the prisoners, but also for the foreign troops, which, before being taken, were in the pay of any one of the parties.
III. His Britannic Majesty restores to the French Republic and its allies, the King of Spain and the Batavian Republic, all the possessions and colonies which belonged to them respectively, and which have been occupied or conquered by the British forces in the course of the present war, with the exception of the Isle of Trinidad, and the Dutch possessions in the Isle of Ceylon.
IV. His Catholic Majesty cedes and guarantees in full possession and sovereignty to His Britannic Majesty the Island of Trinidad.
V. The Batavian Republic cedes and guarantees in full possession and sovereignty to His Britannic Majesty, all the possessions and establishments in the Island of Ceylon, which belonged, before the war, to the Re-
public of the United Provinces, or to its East Indian Company.
VI. The Port of Cape of Good Hope is restored in full sovereignty, as before the war, to the Batavian Republic.
The vessels, of every description, belonging to the other contracting parties, shall have the privilege of refitting and purchasing the necessary provisions as formerly, without paying any other duties than the Dutch are subject to.
VII. The territories and possessions of Her Most Faithful Majesty are to remain entire, as they were before the War; but the limits of French and Portuguese Guiana are fixed at the river Araway, which empties into the ocean above the "North Cape," near "New Ile," and the Isle of Penitence, in about a degree and a third of north latitude. These limits shall follow the course of the river Araway, from its mouth, the farthest from the Cape, to its source—hence in a straight line drawn from this source to "Rio-Branco" toward the west.—Therefore, the northern bank of the river Araway, from its mouth to the source, and the territory north of the above limits, shall belong in full possession to the French Republic: The southern bank of the said river, from the mouth, and all the territory south of the said limits, shall belong to Her Most Faithful Majesty.—The navigation of the river Araway in its whole course, shall be common to the two nations.
The arrangements which have taken place between the Courts of Madrid and of Lisbon, for the establishment of their frontiers in Europe, shall be made according to the stipulations of the treaty of Badajoz.
VIII. The territories, possessions, and rights of the Sublime Porte shall be maintained entire, as they were before the war.
IX. The Republic of the Seven Isles is acknowledged.
X. The Islands of Malta, Gozo, and Comino, shall be restored to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, to be held by it under the same conditions as before the war, and under the following regulations:
1st. The Knights of the Order, whole, ("langues,") languages continue to exist, after the exchange of the ratifications of the present Treaty, are invited to return to Malta, as soon as the exchange takes place: They will there form a general Chapter, and proceed to elect a Grand Master, selected from among the natives of those nations who preserve (des langues) the language, unless they shall have already made choice since the ratification of the preliminaries. It is understood that an election made since that epoch shall alone be considered valid, to the exclusion of every other which may have taken place prior to that epoch.
2d. The governments of the French Republic, and Great-Britain, wished to place Order and Island of Malta in a state of entire independence in respect to them, agree, that henceforward neither the French nor English language shall be suffered there, and that no individual of either of these powers can be admitted into the Order.
3d. There shall be established a Maltese language, which shall be maintained by the territorial revenues, and the commercial duties of the island. This language shall be entitled to the dignities proper to it, to benefits ("trouvemens") and to a College ("auberge.") Proofs of nobility shall not be required for the admission of the Knights of the said language! they shall be admissible to all the offices, and shall enjoy all the privileges with the Knights of other Orders. The municipal, administrative, civil, judicial, and other offices dependant on the government of the Island, shall be occupied, one half at least, by the inhabitants of Malta, Gozo and Comino.
4th. The forces of his Britannic Majesty shall evacuate the island and its dependencies in three months after the exchange of the ratifications, or sooner, if possible, when it shall be restored to the Order in the state in which it is found, provided that the Grand Master, or Commissioners fully authorized according to the statutes of the Order, be in the said island to take possession thereof, and the troops which are to be furnished by his Sicilian Majesty, as hereafter stipulated, be arrived.
5th. Half of the garrison, at least, shall be composed of native Maltese: The remainder, the Order shall have the power of raising among the natives of those nations who continue to possess the language. The Maltese troops shall have Maltese officers. The command in chief of the garrison, as well as the nomination of officers, shall belong to the Grand Master, and cannot dispense with it, even temporarily, but in favor of a Knight, according to the advice of the Council of the Order.
6th. The independence of the Islands of Malta, of Gozo, and of Comino, as well as the present establishment, is placed under the protection and guarantee of France, Great-Britain, Austria, Spain, Russia, and Prussia.
7th. The Order and Island of Malta, with its dependencies, are declared neutral.
8th. The Ports of Malta, shall be open to the commerce and navigation of all nations, who will pay their equal and regular duties; these duties shall be applied to the maintenance of the Maltese language, as specified in the 3d. sect.—and of the civil and military establishments of the Island, and also of a general Lazaretto, open to all nations.
9th. The Barbary Powers are excepted from the two preceding stipulations, until the Contracting Parties shall procure a cessation of the hostilities which subsist between the said Barbary States, the Order of St. John, and those Powers that possess the language, or are a component part of it.
10th. The Order shall be governed, as well in its spiritual as temporal capacity, by the same laws, which were in force when the Knights quitted the Island, as far as they are not deprived of them by the present treaty.
11th. The regulations contained in sections 3d, 5th 8th, and 10th, shall become laws and perpetual statutes of the Order in the usual form, and the Grand Master, or, if he should not be in the Island, when it shall be restored to the Order, his representative, as well as his successors shall make oath punctually to observe them.
12th. His Sicilian Majesty shall be requested to furnish 2000 men, natives of his dominions, to serve as a garrison in the different fortresses of the said Islands. This force shall remain there a year, from the resumption to the Knights; and if, at the

expiration thereof, the Order shall not have levied a sufficient force in the judgment of the guarantee-powers, to serve as garrison to the island and its dependencies, as specified in sect. 5th. the Neapolitan troops shall remain there until replaced by another sufficient force.
13th. The different powers designated in section 6th. to wit, France, G. Britain, Austria, Spain, Russia, and Prussia, are invited to accede to the present stipulations. ART. XI. The French troops shall evacuate the Kingdom of Naples and the Roman State; the English forces shall likewise evacuate Porto Ferrajo, and generally, all the ports and islands which they occupied in the Mediterranean or in the Adriatic Sea.
XII. The evacuations, cessions, and restitutions stipulated by the present Treaty, shall go into operation, as regards Europe, in the course of a month, the seas of America and Africa in three months; the continent and seas of Asia in six months, following the ratification of the present Definitive Treaty, except in those cases especially provided to the contrary.
XIII. In all cases of restitution, granted by the present treaty, the fortifications shall be restored in the condition in which they were found at the moment of signing the preliminary articles, and all the works constructed since their being occupied shall remain untouched.
It is moreover agreed, that in every case of cession stipulated, there shall be allowed to the inhabitants, of whatever condition or nation, a term of three years, from the ratification of the present Treaty, to dispose of their property acquired and possessed, whether before or during the present war; during which period of three years, they may enjoy freely their religion and their property. The same is granted in the countries restored, to all those, whether inhabitants or not, who shall have made any establishments during the period when these countries were possessed by G. Britain. As to the inhabitants of places ceded or restored, it is agreed, that no one shall be persecuted, or disturbed in his person or property, under any pretext, on account of his political conduct or opinion, or of his attachment to either of the contracting parties, or for any other cause, except debts contracted with individuals, or for acts posterior to the present treaty.
XIV. All sequestrations, on the one part or the other, laid upon funds or revenues, of whatever kind they may be, belonging to one of the contracting powers, or to its citizens or subjects, shall be taken off immediately after the signature of this Definitive Treaty.
The decision of all claims between the individuals of the respective nations, for debts, property, effects, or whatever rights, which, conformably to the established usages and to the rights of nations, should be exhibited at the moment of Peace, shall be laid before the competent Tribunals and prompt and full justice shall be rendered in these cases in the dominions where the claims shall be made.
XV. The fisheries upon the coasts of Newfoundland and the adjacent Isles, and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, are placed upon the same footing as before the war.
The French fishermen of Newfoundland, and the inhabitants of the Islands of St. Peter and Miguelon, shall be allowed to cut the wood necessary to them in the Bay of Fortune, and of Despair, during the first year, from the ratification of the present treaty.
XVI. To prevent all subjects of complaint and contest which may arise from captures which may be made at sea after the signing of the preliminary articles, it is mutually agreed, that the vessels and effects which shall have been taken in the Channel, and in the North Seas, after 12 days from the exchange of the ratifications of the preliminary articles, shall be restored on both sides; and the term shall be a month from the Channel and the North Seas, to the Canary Isles, inclusively, whether in the Ocean or in the Mediterranean; two months from the Canary Isles to the Equator; and five months in all other parts of the globe, without any further exception or distinction of time or place.
XVII. The Ambassadors, Ministers and other Agents of the contracting powers, shall respectively enjoy in the states of the said powers, the same rank, privileges, prerogatives and immunities, which agents of the same class enjoyed before the war.
XVIII. The branch of the House of Nassau, which was established in the elective Republic of the United Provinces, now the Batavian Republic, having sustained losses as well in private property as by the change of the constitution adopted in that country, there shall be procured compensation equivalent to the said losses.
XIX. The present Definitive Treaty of Peace is declared common to the Sublime Ottoman Porte, ally of His Britannic Majesty; and the Sublime Porte shall be requested to transmit its accession thereto as soon as possible.
XX. It is agreed, that the contracting parties, upon the demand by them respectively made, or by their Ministers and Officers, duly authorized to this effect, shall be held to deliver up to justice, persons accused of the crimes of murder, of forgery, or of fraudulent bankruptcy, committed within the jurisdiction of the party making the demand, provided that it shall not be done unless the evidence of the crime shall be so well established, that the laws of the place, where the accused person shall be discovered, would authorize his detention and transmission to justice in case the crime had been there committed. The expense of apprehending and transmitting the person to justice, shall be defrayed by those who make the demand: It is understood, that this article does not regard in any way, the crimes of murder, forgery or fraudulent bankruptcy, committed prior to the conclusion of this Definitive Treaty.
XXI. The contracting parties promise to observe with sincerity and good faith all the articles of the present Treaty, and they will not suffer their respective citizens or subjects to act in contravention of the same, directly or indirectly, and the said contracting parties guarantee to each other generally and reciprocally all the stipulations of the present Treaty.
XXII. The present Treaty shall be ratified by the contracting parties within the space of thirty days, or looner, if possible,
and the ratifications in due form shall be exchanged at Paris.
In faith of which, we, under signed Plenipotentiaries, have signed with our hands, and by virtue of our full powers, respectively, the present Definitive Treaty, and affixed our respective seals.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 17. A letter from Cape Francois, dated 9th April states, "A rumour is now very prevalent, that Toussaint has been shot in the shoulder, of which wound he has since died."
NEW-YORK, MAY 18. The Batavian fleet, consisting of three ships of the line and a brig, viz. the Brutus, Neptunus, and Jaan De Witt, and brig Ajax, under the command of Vice-Admiral P. Hartink, arrived in Hampton roads the 10th inst. from Cape Francois. It is said a part of the squadron will go to the port of Baltimore to refit.
DANBURY, (CON.) APRIL 20. AN EXTRAORDINARY COW. A Cow, now in the possession of Mr. John Sanford, of Redding, has brought him six Calves within two years. Said Cow is under six years old, and has had seven Calves, and did not have a Calf until she was three years old; six of the Calves are now living.
SALEM, MAY 21. Extract of a letter from Cape Francois, April 27. "I have been here six days, and have not discharged any part of my cargo, and cannot tell whether I shall or not, as the markets are very dull. I shall leave this for Jamaica as soon as I can clear out, but business is not easily done here. The war I believe is at an end. Christophe has resigned himself up with all his army, and the negroes are sent to the plantations. He is expected in town to-morrow. Toussaint is reported to be dead; but we cannot confide in any thing we hear."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Havana to his friend in this town, dated April 28. "There has been a dreadful fire in the village, about one mile from this city. It began on the 24th inst. and burnt until the morning of the 26th, consuming every thing in its way until it came to the water. There are various reports of the number of houses burnt; some say 1500, others 2000, but I believe we may safely estimate it at 1500. Many lives were lost, but how many it is not known."
BOSTON, MAY 24. Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in Bourdeaux, to his correspondent in this town, dated April 2.
"An Arrete has just passed by the First Consul of France, for the encouragement of the French Fisheries, and which may tend much to the injury of those of our country. As it may be interesting to our part of the U. States, I just note the principal heads of our information. The Arrete is to continue in force three years; a bounty of 50 francs is granted per year, for every man engaged in the Newfoundland Fishery, and 15 for what is called the small Fishery; for every quintal of fish, the produce of the French fishery, exported from France, or the places where taken, direct to the French Colonies, there is a bounty of 12 1/2 francs; for every quintal exported from the French ports in the Mediterranean, to Spain, Portugal, Italy, or in the Levant, 6 1/4 is granted; for every quintal exported from the places of said fishery direct to Spain or Portugal, 5 1/4 there is likewise granted a bounty of 5 1/4 for every quintal of oil, the produce of the French Fisheries, imported direct into France; an additional duty of 6 1/4 per gallon is also placed on all fish, the produce of foreign fisheries, imported into the colonies, exclusive of the local duties, now existing there; the duties in France remain as before. Colonial produce is still calm; merchants are anxiously waiting the result of the expedition to St. Domingo; much depends on the subjugation of the Negroes in that Colony; should they be reduced to order, and the plantations in that Island escape destruction, it will perhaps experience a considerable decline in price."
NAVIGATION.
The following Certificate is published as a tribute justly due to Mr. Churchman. "Anxious as I was to promote every improvement in navigation, I purchased one of Mr. Churchman's Universal Variation Charts, before I embarked on my late voyage to the Coast of Sumatra, and the island of Java, and I took much pains to bring the principles to the test. I give it as my opinion, that it is the most important improvement in the art of navigation, since the discovery of America; for it was of the greatest importance in correcting the dead reckoning of the ship Hancock, which I commanded; and in cloudy weather, it served to shew the true course. Witness my hand, at Boston, April 27th, 1802 Wm. M'NEILL WATTS."
By the roll of Public Officers, laid before Congress by the President, it appears there were eight hundred and ninety-four Post-Masters in the United States, when the present administration commenced; of this number we believe thirty, at farthest have been removed by the new Post-Master General. But from the clamour which has been raised on this subject, many are led to suppose that Mr. Granger has turned out all the Post-Masters in the Union of "federal" politics. That a large majority of the eight hundred and ninety-four were thorough-going partisans of the Old School, cannot be doubted by any one who knows any thing of the system pursued by the last administration. The virulent spirit of slander poured out against the Post-Master-General, on account of the few removals he has made, is another proof of the grovelling spirit of the opposition. Nothing lets than the sole management of the Post Office Department, as well as of every other department of the government, will satisfy their unbounded thirst for the emoluments of office. (Adv. Reg.)
Portsmouth. TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1802.
We are authorised to state, that Samuel Cabot Esq. has been recently instructed by the President of the United States to repair to London, for the executing certain duties before the Board of Commissioners sitting there under the 7th article of the British Treaty.

COMMUNICATION.
MR. JEFFERSON & the BRITISH ADMINISTRATION.
It is no little discomfiture to our tip-top Tories to perceive the good understanding between the American and British administration that has lately taken place—and not a little entertaining to see all their French arguments cut away from under them; their jacobinism—enthronism—assassination—disorganization, must lose all their delusion and their force—It will not be less entertaining to find the American administration, formerly the friends of the French, introducing French principles, poisoning the minds of the People, the swinish multitude, now laid by the Feds to be directly under British influence! to what inconsistencies, what contradictions, what imposthumes on the public mind, have the Tories, alias self-named Federalists not had recourse in their various systems of terror, finance, military, naval, judicial, aristocratic establishment?—How are the mighty fallen!! "Lord Hawkesbury, the British Secretary of State, in the House of Commons, says, he has the happiness to assure that House and the Public, that within the then last four months he has had confirmed assurances from the present administration of the United States of America, of the perfect amity, and cordial desire to maintain and consolidate the commercial relations of both countries—so far from assisting the French in views hostile to British commerce"—Is not JEFFERSON a friend to your commerce?—Hide your diminished heads Aristocrats, and blush!!!
A FRIEND TO COMMERCE.
Some time ago, certain prints exulted very loudly at the apparent indifference with which the President's message at the opening of the last session of congress was received in the English papers. Accident has thrown in our way the Cambridge Intelligencer of January 23, 1802, from which we extract the following remarks as a comment on those exultings.
"We beg leave to recommend to the attentive perusal of every one of our readers, the address of the American President to the legislative bodies, recorded in our last page. It has been the common, & too just remark of political writers in general, that governments naturally lead to despotism, and that executive authorities have need of continual checks to prevent an abuse of power. In America, however, we have an exception. There we behold the novelty of the first magistrate devising plans for the security and extension of public liberty, for more effectually guarding against corruption and improper influence in the executive department, lessening the public expenses, diminishing taxes; for encouraging the freedom of the press, and for cultivating those arts and pursuits which tend most effectually to promote the peace, the welfare, and the happiness of the human race. Amidst the corruptions in which the European governments are involved, the virtuous mind when contemplating that of America, finds some relief. Should the American legislature bring to maturity the plans suggested by the president, a sort of Millennium in government will commence. May God in his mercy to mankind render the work prosperous."
Mr. WAGNER, chief clerk in the department of state, a few days since sent his resignation to Mr. MADISON, alleging that his decline of health made it necessary for him to retire. Mr. MADISON with equal honor to himself and Mr. WAGNER, declined accepting the resignation at this time; saying that as Mr. WAGNER had brought on this ill health from his close attention to the office, he ought not to retire until his health was perfectly restored.
Fortune has been charged of always bestowing her favours on those who needed them least.—Of late she seems to have reformed; for the 20,000 dollar prize, in the Lottery drawing at New-York, she has lately given to Albert Anderson, a blacksmith of that city; and the 10,000 dollar prize, in the Troy Navigation Lottery, to Samuel Comstock, an industrious young man of Lansingburg.
The "Hudson Gazette" a Federal paper in the State of New-York, says—"Never has Republicanism so completely been manifested in this state as at the last election; Both Houses are now decidedly Republican."
Another paragraph in the same paper says—"It is ascertained that about three-fourths of the assembly will be genuine Republicans; and thus has Republicanism triumphed more completely at the last election than on any former occasion."
Dr. M'WORTER, who was appointed by the Trustees of Princeton College, to go into the Eastern states to solicit donations for rebuilding the College, writes to his friends in Newark, that he has as yet been engaged rather in preparatory work than direct application; but that his subscription already amounts to 2240 dollars; 1500 of which were given by three gentlemen—1000 by one, 300 by another, and 400 by the third.
In Cobbet's (London) Weekly Political Register, of March 20, it is said that Toussaint has 200,000 dollars in the Bank of New-York.
MURDER.—We here from Medfield, that on Tuesday last, a Mr. MASON murdered his brother-in-law, Mr. William Allen, whilst they were at work together in a field. The criminal was soon secured, and is now confined in the goal in Dedham; but discovers no symptoms of remorse for the perpetration of the horrid deed. It is remarkable, that on the same hour of the same day of the same month, last year, and on land owned by a Mason, the murder of Miss Fales was committed.

SONG.
SOME woman take delight in dress, And some in cards take pleasure, While others place their happiness In heaping hoards of treasure. In private some delight to kiss, Their hidden charms unfolding; But they mistake their foreign bliss, There's no such joy as scolding.
Each morn, as I open my eyes, I soon disperse all silence, Before my neighbors can arise, They hear my clack a mile hence. When at the board I take my seat There's one continued riot; I eat, I scold, I eat, I eat, My clack is never quiet.
Let it be flesh, or fowl, or fish, Though of my own providing, I still find fault with every dish, Still every servant chiding. Too fat, too lean, too salt, too fresh, I never can be suited, But give a blast at every dish, Bak'd, roast'd, boil'd or stewed.
Every night when I go to bed, I surely fall a weeping, For silence is the thing I dread, I cannot scold when sleeping. But then my pains to mitigate, And drive away all sorrow, Although to night may be too late, I'll pay them off to-morrow.
Moralist.
THE great object to which you who are or may be mothers, are more especially called, is the education of your children. If we are responsible for the use of influence in the care of those over whom we have no immediate control, in the care of our children we are responsible for the exercise of acknowledged power; a power wide in its extent, indefinite in its effects, and ineffable in its importance. On you depend in no small degree the principles of the whole rising generation. To your direction the daughters are almost exclusively committed: and until a certain age, to you also is consigned the mighty privilege of forming the hearts and minds of your infant sons. By the blessing of GOD on the principles you shall as far as it depends on you, infuse into both sons and daughters, they will hereafter "Arise and call you blessed." And in the great day of general account, may every christian mother be established thro' divine grace to say, with humble confidence to her Maker and Redeemer, "Be thou the children thou hast given me."
Melody.
A MELTING sermon being preached in a country parish, all fell a weeping, but one man, who being asked why he did not weep with the rest: O, said he, I belong to another parish.
A YOUNG fellow, not quite so wise as Solomon, eating some cheese full of maggots, one night at a tavern: Now, said he, I have done as much as Sampson, for I have slain my thousands and my ten thousands. Yes, answered one of the company, and with the same weapon too, the jaw-bone of an ass.
A gentle sprinkling of rain happening, a plough-boy left his work, and went home; but his master seeing him there, told him that he should not have left off his work for so trifling an affair, and desired for the future he would stay till it rained downright. A day or two afterwards proving a very rainy day, the boy stayed till dusk, and being almost drowned, his master asked him why he did not come before: Why, I should, says the boy, but you zed I shou'dn't come hoam vore it rain'd downright; and it has not rain'd downright yet, for it was allant all day long.
A Spanish poet, describing his passion, says, That in thinking of his mistress he fell into a river, where the heat of his passion had such an effect on the water, that it bubbled up, and boiled the fish, inasmuch that those that come to take him out, were diverted from their object by the delicacy of the fish, which were swimming about ready cooked.
