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 5th of November one thousand eight hundred and four.
AN ACT
Concerning the mode of surveying the Public Lands of the United States.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the surveyor general, shall cause all those lands north of the river Ohio, which by virtue of the act, entitled "An act providing for the sale of the lands of the United States, in the territory north west of the river Ohio, and above the mouth of the Kentucky river," were subdivided, by running through the townships, parallel lines each way, at the end of every two miles, and by marking a corner on each of the said lines, at the end of every mile; to be subdivided into sections, by running straight lines from the mile corners thus marked, to the opposite corresponding corners, and by marking on each of the said lines, intermediate corners, as nearly as possible equi-distant from the corners of the sections on the same. And the said surveyor general shall also cause the boundaries of all the half sections, which had been purchased previous to the first day of July last, and on which the surveying fees had been paid according to law by the purchaser, to be surveyed and marked, by running straight lines from the half mile corners, heretofore, marked, to the opposite corresponding corners and intermediate corners, shall at the same time be marked on each of the said dividing lines, as nearly as possible equi-distant from the corners of the half section on the same line: Provided, that the whole expense of surveying and marking the lines, shall not exceed three dollars for every mile which has not yet been surveyed, and which shall be actually run, surveyed, and marked by virtue of this section. And the expense of making the subdivisions, directed by this section, shall be defrayed out of the monies appropriated, or which may be hereafter appropriated, for completing the surveys of the public lands of the United States.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted. That the boundaries and contents of the several sections, half sections and quarter sections of the public lands of the United States, shall be ascertained in conformity with the following principles; any act or acts, to the contrary notwithstanding.
1st. All the corners marked in the surveys, returned by the surveyor general, or by the surveyor of the land south of the state of Tennessee, respectively, shall be established as the proper corners of sections, or subdivisions of sections, which they were intended to designate; and the corners of half and quarter sections, not marked on the said surveys, shall be placed as nearly as possible, equi-distant from those two corners which stand on the same line.
2d. The boundary lines, actually run and marked in the surveys returned by the surveyor general, or by the surveyor of the land south of the state of Tennessee, respectively, shall be established as the proper boundary lines of the sections, or subdivisions, for which they were intended, and the length of such lines, as returned, by either of the surveyors aforesaid, shall be held and considered as the true length thereof. And the boundary lines, which shall not have been actually run and marked as aforesaid shall be ascertained by running straight lines from the established corners to the opposite corresponding corners; but in those portions of the fractional townships, where no such opposite corresponding corners have been or can be fixed, the said boundary lines shall be ascertained, by running from the established corners, due north and south, or east and west lines, as the case may be, to the water course, Indian boundary line, or other external boundary of such fractional township. 3d. Each section, or subdivision of
section, the contents whereof, shall have been, or by virtue of the first section of this act, shall be returned by the surveyor general, or by the surveyor of the public lands south of the state of Tennessee, respectively, shall be held and considered as containing the exact quantity, expressed in such return or returns: and the half sections and quarter sections, the contents whereof shall not have been thus returned, shall be held and considered as containing the one half, or the one fourth part respectively, of the returned contents of the section of which they make part.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, that so much of the act entitled "An act making provision for the disposal of the lands in the Indiana territory, and for other purposes," as provides the mode of ascertaining the true contents of sections or subdivisions of sections, and prevents the issue of final certificates, unless the said contents shall have been ascertained, and a plot certified by the district surveyor, lodged with the register, be, and the same is hereby repealed.

From the Republican Advocate. I CALL the undivided attention of my readers to the Inaugural Speech of Thomas Jefferson, which was delivered by him in the Senate chamber of the United States, in the presence of the members of the two Houses of Congress, and a large concourse of citizens, immediately after taking the oath of office prescribed by the constitution.
This speech is uncommonly strong and lucid; and contains much sense in a few words. It treats—
1. Of his gratitude for the new proof of confidence, given him by his fellow-citizens.
2. Of his having administered the government agreeably to his original declarations in 1801.
3. Of his having conducted the government with justice and friendship towards foreign nations.
4. Of affairs at home; and appeals to the knowledge of his fellow-citizens on this point.
5. Of the true object of government, in having repealed the internal taxes.
6. Of the benefits likely to accrue from the acquisition of Louisiana.
7. Of religion—and its free exercise.
8. Of the Indians, and the means of their civilization.
9. Of the licentiousness of the press; and the injurious effects of that licentiousness on public morals.
10. Of the propriety of correcting abuses of the liberty of the press, by "the salutary coercion of the law."
11. Of the union of sentiment manifested by the people of the United States; and the probability of its being in a short time complete.
12. Of the benevolence that ought to be shown towards the enemies of the administration, by doing them "justice, and more than justice, in all competitions of interest."
13. Of his determination to "proceed in the spirit of those principles which the people have approved."
And,
14. Of the favor of Providence, which he supplicates to enlighten his mind, and guide the councils of the nation.
A more candid and affectionate speech never fell from the lips of a public Magistrate. Firm, though mild; plain, yet dignified; and free, yet decorous. Republicans! your chief has not deceived you. You may place him in the eye of the world, and challenge it to produce another ruler like him. Guided by Virtue , his objects are your Prosperity and Happiness .
'Tis not the babbling of a busy world;
'Where praise and censure are at random hurl'd,
Which can the smitten of his thoughts controul,
Or shake the settled purpose of his soul;
'Free and at large let FEDERAL carves roam,
For all is well abroad, and well at home.'
National Legislature.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
HALIFAX, FEB. 23.—It is said that the intercourse between this province, and the United States, hitherto authorized by Proclamation) will be discontinued after the first of May next, unless urgent necessity, occasioned by the failure of crops, should require the importation of Flour or Grain."
NATCHEZ, FEB. 22.—Dr. John Sibley is appointed by the President of the United States Agent and Superintendent of Indian affairs for all the Indian Tribes in Louisiana south of the Ozark river—is authorized occasionally to hold Talks and Conferences with them, &c. discretionary. For which purpose suitable goods we learn, are on the way to him at Natchitoches.—This is an appointment of much importance and responsibility, which the Doctor is well calculated to fulfil.
CHARLESTON, MARCH 16. Extract of a letter from J. Blakely, esq. consul of the United States, at St. Jago de Cuba dated the 25th Feb. 1805, to James Simons esq. collector of the customs.
"Permit me through your politeness, to inform the merchants of the United States that this port is now opened for American vessels bringing flour and provisions."
The same letter states: "During a month past, flour in this city has been from forty to sixty dollars a barrel. 'Tis now said that two days more will finish the last barrel of flour of the best supplied baker in this city."
WASHINGTON, MARCH 28. Having received from Commodore Preble, information that the Neapolitan government cannot possibly spare to Commodore Barron, any of their gun-boats for the ensuing summer, the SECRETARY OF THE NAVY has issued orders for the equipment of TEN GUNBOATS to leave the U. States, so as to join our squadron in the Mediterranean about the 1st of July. Owing to the violent gales of wind that usually prevail on the coast of Tripoli before the month of July, gun-boats cannot be used to advantage, or even with safety, before that period.
PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 23.—Captain Hudson, of the brig Angenera, who arrived at Charleston, the 7th instant, in 17 days from Martinique, informs, that a few days before he sailed accounts were received there, of a British King's brig having captured and carried into Barbadoes, a French privateer brig from Guadeloupe, after a severe and bloody action of 3 hours, in which the Frenchman had 80 men killed, and a considerable number wounded.
NEW-YORK, MARCH 28. Capt. Clapp, whose arrival we mentioned in yesterday's Gazette, informs, that the American Consul at St. Thomas, had received a Decree of 14 articles (which our informant saw) from the Government of the city of St. Domingo, declaring, among other regulations, that ALL VESSELS of whatever nation, that were caught within three leagues of the Brigand Ports, should be taken, and their crews put to death.—This law was to be put in force, from and after the first of April, 1805.
INDIA NEWS.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Calcutta to his friend in Hartford, (Conn.) dated Oct. 27, 1804.
"The Princess Charlotte is taken in Vezagapatam, by the Maringo, and her colonies, in breach of the naviga-
tion law; and as lord Sheffield was in unison with the British King's government, his opinions, on this head, are viewed by these Celts, and their friends, as indicative of the determination of the minister, although promulgated by a collateral agency. Lord Sheffield professes to be disinterested and impartial; but from his lordship's situation and predilections, such professions are not entitled to implicit credit. This subject has created much disaffection among the West India colonists, and is of considerable weight to the merchants of this country, in opposition to whose interests these illiberal objections are chiefly created and directed."
BOSTON, APRIL 6.
By the brig Maria, Capt. Saunders, from the Mediterranean, we learn that a fleet of thirty sail of merchantmen, from Malta for England, under convoy of the Arrow sloop of war, Capt. Vincent, and a bomb brig fell in near the island of Ilyca, on the 18th February with two French frigates; when, after an engagement of one hour, the English sloop of war blew up, the bomb was captured, and a considerable part of the convoy.
BY recent accounts from the East Indies, via Hartford, (Conn.) dated Oct. 27, 1804, we learn that the affairs of the British East India Company, in that part of the globe, are of a nature very disastrous to the English government. The most serious alarms have prevailed at Calcutta, (the capital of Bengal, which is the richest and most populous province in the empire of Indostan) in consequence of the grand army of the state, having been so vigorously opposed by the Mharatta forces, as to induce the British Council of India, to conceal the result of this hard fought action from the public. It will appear that one King's & five of the Company's regiments have been entirely cut off; and of one regiment of Light Dragoons, under Gen. Lake, the commanding officer, no more than one officer about fifty men, have survived the conflict; and it is even now confessed, that the Mharatta horse, are equal in discipline and valor to the British dragoons. So calamitous has been the impression, resulting from these events, that the paper of the Company has suffered a depreciation, and sunk to 8 per cent discount.
A French squadron is cruising, in these seas, and has already taken several large ships, belonging to the East India Company, particularly the Princess Charlotte, by the Marengo and two large frigates, who have had an indecisive engagement with the Centurion, a British man of war, of 50 guns.
It is impossible to peruse these details, without recurring to the ordinations of that Providence, which sooner or later, will enforce the ends of moral justice. The usurpations of the British in India, and the cruelties which they exercised, upon the innocuous, unoffending Gentoo, to establish that usurpation, can never be erased from the hearts of those who suffered, and can never be forgotten by any man, who has any tender anxieties for the well being of his fellow creatures, and has not suffered his local prejudices to absorb his virtue, or his hunger for riches, to obliterate his humanity.
It will be seen, by our additional arrivals from the West Indies, that our former statement relative to the operations of a French squadron, from Rochfort, is essentially confirmed. The Toulon fleet, consisting of fifteen sail of the line, is hourly expected with a great body of troops on board; when these naval detachments here formed a junction, some attacks of moment, upon the British Islands, will inevitably take place. Those Islands are particularly valuable from two causes: first, from the very harsh restrictions, imposed upon the planters and traders, by the government; and secondly, from the hostile spirit of the slaves, who are eager for an opportunity, to manifest their resentment, and regain natural freedom and social rights. It is likewise understood that much ill humour prevails in England, as well as these Islands, relative to the maritime coercions of the government; the West India colonies claim a privilege of obtaining necessary supplies from the United States of America; and of employing the necessary means of effectually obtaining those supplies, under a limited and duly regulated intercourse. To these claims lord Sheffield has opposed his authority, by the publication of strictures on the subject, in which he principally founds his resistance to these claims, upon an alleged inpolicy of granting licences to neutral vessels to trade to and from Great Britain and her colonies, in breach of the naviga-
tion law; and as lord Sheffield was in unison with the British King's government, his opinions, on this head, are viewed by these Celts, and their friends, as indicative of the determination of the minister, although promulgated by a collateral agency. Lord Sheffield professes to be disinterested and impartial; but from his lordship's situation and predilections, such professions are not entitled to implicit credit. This subject has created much disaffection among the West India colonists, and is of considerable weight to the merchants of this country, in opposition to whose interests these illiberal objections are chiefly created and directed."
By the notification of the arrival of Dr. Hunter and Mr. Dunbar, at N. Orleans, from a tour to explore the Ouachita river, it is evident that our newly acquired territory of Louisiana, is pregnant with numerous advantages to the government and the Citizen. This tour of examination was undertaken agreeably to the appointment of the President of the United States; and the happy results of this vast acquisition are becoming every day more desirable and satisfactory.
Coos Bank counterfeited.
We are informed, that Twenty Dollar Bills, purporting to have issued from the Coos Bank, are in circulation in and near Stanstead, in Canada. The public are notified, that no bills of a larger denomination than Ten Dollars have issued from that Bank—of course, all of the former description must be spurious.

FIRE.—A Dwelling House, owned by the Widow Prince, of Marblehead, situated at Marblehead Farms, and occupied by a Mr. Wright, was burnt down on Tuesday night last.—The family barely escaped from the flames—and saved but one bed, and a few trifling articles.—We have not learnt the cause of the fire.
(Salem Reg.)
Mr. Lyon, of Kentucky, has made a concise statement of the Georgia Land controversy, for the benefit of his constituents, that the subject which has attracted so much notice, and has been so warmly debated in the Congress of the United States, might be understood. From this statement, it appears, that in 1795, was the sale of the Georgia Lands amounting to 35 millions of acres. That in 1796 the Legislature of Georgia, declared this first sale a fraud, and in a consequent sale, bones including 13 millions more than were in the first sale, were ceded to Congress, upon the promise of payment of 1,250,000 dollars; out of the sales, whenever made. Of these lands, 5 millions were reserved by Georgia, to answer all claims. For the sake of the title, the first purchasers accepted this seventh part of their purchase, and the commissioners approved of the compromise, after the law of 1803 had confirmed the lands in the possession of the United States. Without any interest in the lands, he calculates great advantages to the Western Country, from the settlements which may speedily obtain. Speaking of the 42 members of the eighth Congress, to whom the decision fell, not more than 20 were active in the 5th and 6th Congress.
For the New-Hampshire Gazette, Messrs. Printers,
Last Wednesday evening I had an opportunity of being at a meeting in this town, where there were three Ministers of different orders, whose hearts appeared to be united in the same cause, viz a Methodist, Baptist, and Congregationalist;—It gave me great satisfaction to see them uniting together, in preaching, praying, singing and exhorting; and how much better it is to have them agreeing to oppose the kingdom of Satan, than to let them at variance with each other, and thereby building up his kingdom? may the time come, when they will be as one, then the works of darkness will be destroyed;—One circumstance took place to the astonishment of all who heard it, a boy of 13 years old, rose and exhorted his brethren, to follow on to know the Lord, to press forward, to fight the good fight of faith, to lay hold on eternal life, in a most masterly manner;—surely, none who has the least regard for decency can ridicule, but there was some who did, and persons to who pretend to be gentlemen; however this is not the mark or behavior of such.—I presume they would be ashamed to have their names appear in public, but it ought to be the case and will, if they persist in such conduct.—There were a number of persons exhorted, sung and prayed, and I think it was an orderly meeting;—let those who have heard what disorder there is in those meetings, do as I have done, go and see, and they will be convinced, there is a gospel order in them; if there is any disorder there it will be among those gentlemen above mentioned, and when the real GENTLEMEN, for who they are, they will be astonished.—
