Acts passed at a session of the HONORABLE GENERAL COURT, convened at Concord, Dec. 1800.
AN ACT allowing a larger per centum of interest to purchasers of land sold at public vendue, by collectors of taxes, than is by law now established.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That every purchaser of land, sold at public vendue, by any Collector of taxes, for the collection thereof, shall be entitled to have and receive, at the rate of twelve per centum per annum, upon his said purchase money, instead of six per centum, as is by law now established, and all sheriffs, proprietary collectors, and all other collectors of taxes on land sold as aforesaid, are hereby authorized and directed to govern themselves accordingly, any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.
Passed and approved by both branches of the Legislature, Dec. 9, 1800.
AN ACT relative to Grand Jurors. WHEREAS the travel and attendance of Grand Jurors at the Courts of Common Pleas are unnecessary.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That the paragraphs in the several laws relative to the appointment, travel, attendance, and duty of Grand Jurors at the several and respective courts of Common Pleas in this State, be and hereby are repealed.
Approved Dec. 6, 1800.
AN ACT to alter one of the terms of the Court of Common Pleas in the county of Grafton.
WHEREAS it would be more convenient to the public that the Court of Common Pleas in and for the county of Grafton, which is now by law to be holden at Plymouth in said county on the first Tuesday of September, should hereafter be holden at said Plymouth, on the second Tuesday of September.
Therefore, BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That the court of Common Pleas in and for the county of Grafton, shall hereafter be holden at said Plymouth in said county, on the second Tuesday of September annually, instead of the first Tuesday of September annually; any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.
Approved Dec. 9, 1800.

PARIS, OCT. 18.
GENOA.
THE Extra Commission of the government of Genoa has prohibited the planting of any more than one tree of liberty, in a commune. No barrantes are to be made on these occasions, nor shall any person plant a tree beyond the limits of his own commune. [It is difficult to suppress a smile on reading the above.]
[The following is in contradiction of the article, published in our last, on the subject; and probably the most correct.]
LUNEVILLE, NOV. 7.
The Count de Cobenzel arrived here this morning at 5 o'clock, and Joseph Bonaparte at noon. The former was saluted with 10 pieces of cannon, and the latter by the ringing of the only bell left us. The two Ministers lodge in private houses, until their apartments in the castle shall be completely furnished.
A very fine corps of 1500 grenadiers arrived to-day; it will form part of the garrison.
The telegraph is erected on the top of the Castle.
LONDON, OCT. 27.
Mr. Lisson, our Minister at America, does not return from any misunderstanding, either of a personal or political nature, neither has he resigned his office. He wrote home for leave of absence, on account of ill health, but really, we believe, on account of private affairs; and after visiting his brother in the West-Indies, he is expected in Scotland. His Secretary, Mr. Thornton, will be left as Charge des affaires, but it is expected Mr. Lisson will soon return.
FRANCE AND AMERICA.
It is altogether a false idea that some of the papers have taken up respecting the treaty of peace lately concluded between France and America. They consider it as nothing less than an instrument of coalition between these two countries, and the governments of these two countries, and the powers of the North, with a view of establishing the claims which the latter have preferred upon the rights of neutral nations. No such inference, however, can be drawn from the treaty. France and America, it is true, engage reciprocally to waive the right of searching each other's ships when sailing under convoy; and, in as far as affects their own commerce, to recognize the principle of neutral bottoms, constituting neutral cargoes. This they have an unquestionable right to do by the law of nations. Any two powers may, in virtue of a particular and private convention, agree to forego the exercise of a right, to which they are in
frailness entitled, by prescription and common usage, when the act of concession does not interfere either with the rights or practices of other countries. France and America have only for their mutual convenience renounced a right which each possessed of checking the other's commerce by search, and adopted in their mutual transactions a principle of neutrality, certainly not inconsistent either with the law or practice of nations; but not inconsistent with the maintenance of both. The only conclusion that can be derived, therefore, from the treaty as affecting the general policy of Europe, is, not that France and America undertake the cause of the Northern powers, and pledge themselves against the system acted upon by this country; but that they reciprocally renounce the exercise of a right in a particular case, which Sweden, Denmark, &c. are, at no time and in no case, willing to recognize. Whether there be any secret article in the treaty (a practice not uncommon in diplomacy, but which ought to be scouted by the consent of every nation) and whether in these articles any pledge may have been given that they will join in resisting the exercise of a right on the part of this country, which, in their transactions with one another, they have thought it convenient to waive, are quite different questions. The public treaty, however, contains no general declaration upon this subject. It does not even allude to the practice of this country, or to the claims set up against it. It only supercedes, in one instance a right, the existence of which in one case it pretends to call in question.
The Prussian Minister at Hamburg, has demanded the release of a ship of his nation, laden with timber, which an English cruiser captured in the Ems, and carried into Cuxhaven.
NOV. 4. We are credibly informed that a considerable agitation prevails among the public in Paris, on account of the continuance of the war.
NOV. 3. It is said in a French paper, that a violent dispute lately happened between Lucien Bonaparte, and his brother-in-law, Gen. Murat, which terminated in a meeting at the Bois de Boulogne. The parties fought with pistols, and the General is said to have been wounded.
The same paper states, that Carnot was in complete disgrace before his removal from the War Department.
NOV. 17. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday, when, it is supposed, dispatches from Count Cobenzel—the Austrian Plenipo. at Lunéville, were communicated. It is believed, he refuses to negotiate without the concurrence of the British Court.
Malta is made the grand depot of provisions, military stores, clothing, &c. for all our troops in the Mediterranean. New clothing, now making for the guards, is ordered thither, and it is supposed Sir Ralph Abercrombie will sail with the troops under his command to that island—there to wait the alternative of assisting the Emperor in Italy, should hostilities between France and Austria be renewed; or of attacking the French in Egypt, should we be left alone in the war.
Some idea may be formed of the scarcity of fresh provisions at Gibraltar, from the circumstance of three guineas having been last month paid for an indifferent turkey.
WASHINGTON, DEC. 23.
The Convention signed by our late Envoys and the Commissioners of the Chief Consul of France, is before the Senate. The question of ratification is still pending.
Returns of the votes for President and Vice-President have been received from all the States excepting Kentucky. But little doubt remains, that there will appear an equal number of votes for Mr. JEFFERSON and Mr. BURR; in that case the choice will rest with the House of Representatives, and it is very questionable which of them will be appointed.
I enclose a list of sundry appointments lately made by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate:—viz.
JOHN JAY, to be Chief Justice of the United States, in the room of Oliver Ellsworth, resigned.
Samuel Bradford, reappointed Marshal of Massachusetts.
Agassiz Gilis, reappointed Marshal of New-York.
Robert Hays, reappointed Marshal of Tennessee.
David Hopkins, appointed Marshal of Maryland.
Solomon Sibley, Member of the Legislative Council of the N. W. Territory.
William Clark, Chief Justice of the Indiana Territory.
Henry Vanderburgh, second Judge, and John Griffin third Judge of the same Territory.
Joseph H. Davies, Attorney for the District of Kentucky.
John M'Call, one of the Commissioners for settling the limits of Georgia, &c.
Henry Hammond, Consul at Cape-Francois.
Bartholomew Dandridge, Consul for the fourth district of Saint Domingo, to include Aux-Cays and Jeremie.
Richard Hunewell, Surveyor and Inspector for Portland and Falmouth, in Massachusetts.
Jonas Clark, Inspector for Kennebec, in do.
James Gibbon, Collector, &c. for Richmond, Virg.
William Hath, Collector, &c. for Petersburg, do.
William Davies, Collector, &c. for Norfolk, and Portsmouth, Virginia.
Cloud Thompson, Collector, &c. for Brunswick, in Georgia.
James M'Connell, Inspector and Collector for the port and district of Louisville.
RALEIGH, DEC. 6.
A bill has passed the lower branch of our Legislature, directing the manner of recovering bets on horse races. The bill for the equal distribution of insolvent debtors' estates, was rejected.
NORFOLK, DEC. 16.
A bill is before our Legislature designed to prevent duelling. The whole property of such as send or receive a challenge, is by this bill, on proof of the fact, to be immediately distributed among the heirs, as tho'
he had died, and died intestate; and he is to be incapacitated from holding property in future; and from holding any office; the bearers of challenges to be subject to the same penalties as principals; offenders are to be declared out-lawed.
PHILADELPHIA, DEC. 24. Some of the marks of the triumph of Sarcasm.
On Friday evening last, the houses of Capt. Barry, and Mr. Billington, in Sixth near Spruce street, were assaulted by some villains in a most daring outrageous manner.
A gun it is supposed was fired into each house, the shot from which passed through the windows: but providentially no lives were lost.
This outrage was committed about eight o'clock in the evening. Already the neighbourhood was instantly alarmed, the villains escaped, owing to the want of lights in Sixth street, there being only three or four lamps in all the distance from Walnut to Cedar street.
FRENCH TREATY. SENATE of the UNITED STATES.
For four days past the French Treaty has been before the Senate, who have been engaged in reading the documents that accompanied it, which are circumstantial, and which are part in English and part in French.
The Treaty with France having been previously printed for the use of the members, Mr. Morris moved on Wednesday the adoption of a rule, enjoining on the members secrecy in the case of all future treaties and proceedings thereon, unless it should be otherwise directed by the Senate. The motion made did not in the least affect the proceedings of the Senate as to the Treaty now before them. On this motion the Senate were equally divided; and the Vice-President gave his casting vote against it.
The reason for rejecting this motion, we understand were that the time of offering it were improper, as it might tend to impeach the conduct of members in the instance of the treaty before them, respecting which there had been no special injunction of secrecy, and because its provisions were improper in themselves, it was alleged by those who voted against the motion that the true principles would be, that in all cases of treaties in which the President recommended secrecy, the injunction should exist until revoked by the Senate.
United States Naval Concerns. DEC. 23.
The orders to the Ganges' sloop of war to proceed to Batavia, with the convoy, have been countermanded. In the mean time the Ganges is ordered to New-York. It is conjectured that the has been detained for the purpose of carrying out the Treaty to the Isle of France, when that instrument shall have been ratified.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Brown, of the United States ship Merrimack, to the Secretary of the Navy.
Dated, Baltimore, St. Kitts, Nov. 6. "I left this port the 20th ultimo, and returned here again last evening, with one of the finest brigs belonging to Guadalupe, mounting 14 guns, and 120 men."
NEW-YORK, DEC. 24. Extract of a letter from an Officer on board the U. S. ship President, to his friend in this city, dated
"St. Pierre's, Nov. 20.
"We this morning came to anchor in the roads of St. Pierre, where we found the John Adams, and the Sch. Experiment which we sent in a few days ago, having carried away her fore-topmast and sprung her foremast in the chase. She is getting new ones, and will soon be at sea again—I believe there are few privateers out now: They stay in the ports, and if they see a vessel they run out, and in again immediately. This is evidently the case, for none of our ships have fallen in with them, and we can see numbers of them under the land. The sloop of war Merrimack, about ten days ago, captured a privateer brig of 14 guns, that was driven out of Curacoa by the English. The John Adams is going home, her cruise being out. She has made eleven prizes this trip, one of which was retaken and carried into Guadalupe."
Baltimore, Oct. 18. The U. S. frigate Chesapeake, Samuel Barron, Esq. commander, sent in on Thursday, the English brig Herb, Capt. Dougal, from Providence, to London, laden with sugar, &c.—and yesterday afternoon the schooner Little George, from St. Bartholomews, bound for Guadalupe, with a cargo of provisions, was sent in by the U. S. frigate President, Commodore Truxton.
DEC. 27.
A letter is said to be received in town this morning from the seat of government, which states, that Albert Gallatin has been nominated to the Senate of the United States as Secretary of the Treasury, in the room of the Hon. Oliver Wolcott, resigned.
We understand that in the progress of the negotiations attending the French Treaty, the commissioners on the part of France laboriously strove to obtain the restoration of the Treaty of 1778, and offered in case that was restored an indemnification for spoiled property; but stated that in case that Treaty was not reinstated, the claims of the American Government for indemnities made under that Treaty ought not to be allowed. Our commissioners, in conformity with instructions received declared the reinstatement of the Treaty of '78 to be altogether inadmissible; but endeavoured for a considerable length of time to obtain compensations for illegal seizures, without connecting therewith the condition insisted upon by the French commission. They however failed, in the accomplishment of this object, and finally submitted the consideration of indemnities to future negotiations. N. G.
BOSTON, January 1. FROM EUROPE.
An arrival at New-York, from Great-Britain, has furnished London papers to the 17th November;—a few days later than those received here some time since. We do not see any article, which warrants the report, that the Congress at Lunéville, had broken up;—On the contrary the battle of preparation for the pacific meeting of the Plenipotentiaries at that place, is as great as that which is making in both Germany and France to carry on the war with renewed energy and slaughter.—The accounts exhibit a strange medley of proffered Peace, and expected War.
The scarcity of the necessaries of life, in England, continued increasing notwithstanding the efficient measures to lessen it.
Opinions in Europe on the subject of Peace and War, appears very nearly divided.—Some well informed men, whose letters we have seen, give it as their decided belief, that a general peace will be concluded by the approaching spring.—Others, equally as well informed, see in the immense warlike operations, every where in activity, the portents of renewed desolation and carnage.
American vessels in France.
The following American vessels remained in France to be tried after the signing of the Convention, and of course subject to the 4th article, which states, that "property captured, and not yet definitively condemned, or which may be captured before the exchange of ratifications," &c. shall be restored, on producing certain papers as proofs of ownership:—viz.
Suffolk, Hufley, Peggy, Tucker; Molly, Kelley; Ruby, Ast; Ann, Susan, Poll Cary, Boffon; Tom, Bailey; Patap, sco, Lee; Martin, Powell; Amsterdam, Scott; Pomona, Hooker; Amelia, Logan; Eagle, Churchill; Ann and Mary, Hunt; Kitty, Horton; Apollo, Walker; Pacific, Kennedy; Pilgrim, Pratt; Fame, Ruff; Ruby, Girard; Ariadne, Lebofquet; Atlantic, Montgomery; Hancock; Johnson; Leonora, Green; George, Waite; Patty, Campbell; Wickilup, Biffon; Rodolph Frederick, Crocker; Nancy, Warden; Alknomac, Miller; Winaw, Steel; Leeds Packet, Bunce; John, Scott; Fanny, Smith; Flower, Pating; Flora, Le Poley; Commerce, Thurston; Amazon, Trafk; Josephine, Lovely; Molly, Borrowsdale; Dublia Packet, Green; and Betty, Blackwell.
Since the 1st Jan. 1800, there have arrived in the port of Boston, from foreign places, 678 vessels; and during the same period, there have cleared, for foreign ports, 605 viz.
Table with 2 columns: 119 ships, 185 brigs, 3 barques, 325 Schooners, 9 snows, 93 sloops.
Mr. Iznardi, late Consul of the United States, at Cadiz, has arrived at Norfolk, from the Havana.
From the EAST-INDIES.
Capt. Clay, of the Delaware, arrived at Philadelphia from Calcutta, informs, that a vessel had arrived at the Isle of France, with intelligence, that Bonaparte was immediately to send two frigates to the Mauritius, with Commissioners, for finally adjusting the governments of the islands, on such terms, as were likely to meet the general approbation of the inhabitants.
Capt. C. has brought with him from Calcutta, a superb piece of Plate, value 2000 rupees, presented by the Right Hon. Lord Mornington, Gov. General of the British possessions in India, to Capt. Waters, late commander of the ship Atlantic of Philadelphia; as a testimony of their gratitude for the service rendered the commercial interests in India by his gallant defence made in that ship against a French cruiser of very superior force, in consequence of which not only the Atlantic but a valuable British Indianman was preserved from the fangs of the French.
SALEM, Jan. 2.
TURNPIKE ROAD.
The survey of the ground for forming a turnpike road between this town and Boston is completed; by which it is found, that the distance from hence to Charles River Bridge will be 12 miles 256 poles, whereas the present road is 16 miles 104 poles. Besides lessening the distance, the contemplated road will avoid most of the hills now in the way. The subscribers have had a meeting since the survey, and have sent for a man well acquainted with the business to examine the ground and give in an estimate of the expence. There is no doubt but the business will be carried through.
HANOVER, DEC. 27.
EARTHQUAKE.
On Friday evening of last week a very sensible Earthquake was experienced at this place, which was repeated on Saturday following to such degree as to shake almost all the buildings in the place, and rattle the glass in the windows of many houses.—Whether the neighbouring towns experienced the shock, we have not been able to learn.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, Dec. 19, 1800.
MEMORIAL on the subject of the government of the Mississippi territory, was read, and committed to Messrs Claiborne, Goodrich and Nott.
WASHINGTON'S MAUSOLEUM.
A bill for the erection of a Mausoleum of stone, commemorative of the services of GEORGE WASHINGTON, was read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole.
MONDAY, DEC. 22.
The motion of Mr. Davis, respecting the government of the Mississippi Territory, in which the administration of Gov. Sargent is complained of, occasioned a debate which occupied the attention of the House during the day.
TUESDAY, DEC. 23.
The bill for the erection of a mausoleum to GEORGE WASHINGTON, was again before the House; when after a debate, protracted beyond the usual hour of adjournment, the question was taken by yeas & nays, on the engrossment of the bill for a third reading and carried.—Yeas 43, Nays 40.
The bill does not decide the dimensions on the position of the Mausoleum; but appropriates 200,000 dollars for its erection.
The debate was, in some parts of it, defactory, tedious, and uninteresting; and in others, forcible and spirited. In particular the eloquence of Mr. Harper and Mr. Randolph, was lofty and impressive; in the collision, of opinion, the ordinary rules of decorum were prostrated; and language, indignant and sarcastic, impeaching personal motive, was reciprocated with keen severity.
PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 6.
New Turnpike.
The General Court of this State have granted the petition of certain individuals praying for liberty to build and keep in repair a Turnpike road, to begin at the most convenient place at the river road in the town of Bolster or Salisbury, and to extend in a westerly direction till it shall strike the eastern bank of Connecticut river, nearly opposite to the mouth of White river; and also to build and keep in repair a Turnpike road to begin at the east end of White river falls bridge, and extend southeasterly till it intersects the road first mentioned. An undertaking of such public utility, convenience, and advantage, we doubt not, will meet the general approbation, and be encouraged and promoted by the liberal and enterprising citizens of this State.
The British Ispoliations on American commerce amounted to four millions of dollars, when Mr. Jay obtained by treaty a promise of restitution. The French Ispoliations amount to twenty millions, for which not even a promise of restitution is obtained by the late "convention." The British treaty produced such a convolution in this country, that nothing but the weight of Washington's personal character saved the government from destruction. The French treaty will go quietly into operation, from the affectionate regard of one party for France, and the principle of supporting government which actuates the other.
Gen. WENN is elected lieut. governor of the State of South-Carolina.
