Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the circuit court of the county of Alexandria, in the district of Columbia, shall have power to proceed in all common law and chancery causes which now are, or hereafter shall be instituted before it, in which either of the parties are non-residents of said district of Columbia in the same way, and under the same regulations observed by the district court or by the high court of chancery in Virginia, in proceeding against non-residents.

affect the property of absconding debtors or others having property within the district, and whose persons are not answerable to the process of the courts.

Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That no part of the laws of Virginia or Maryland, declared by an act of Congress, passed the twenty-seventh day of February, one thousand eight hundred and one, "concerning the district of Columbia," to be in force within the said district, shall ever be construed so as to prohibit the owners of slaves to hire them within, or remove them to the said district, in the same way as was practised prior to the passage of the above recited act.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That so much of two acts of Congress, the one passed on the twenty-seventh day of February, one thousand eight hundred and one, entitled "An act concerning the district of Columbia;" the other passed the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and one, supplementary to the aforesaid act, as provides for the compensation to be made to certain justices of the peace thereby created, and for compensation to jurors attending the courts within the said district, except so much thereof as relates to their travelling expences attending the same shall be, and is hereby repealed: And jurors, in future, shall serve in the said courts, and be summoned to attend the same in like manner as jurors serve and were summoned in the courts of Virginia, prior to the passage of the above recited act.

And the several judges of the said circuit court shall have like authority to grant such licenses in vacation, as the justices of the courts of Maryland and Virginia heretofore possessed; and the money arising from such licenses shall be applied to the use and benefit of the said counties, respectively, in such manner and to such purposes, as the justices of the levy courts in the same shall appoint and direct.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That the marshal of the district of Columbia be, and he hereby is authorized and directed, with the approbation of the President of the United States to cause a good and sufficient jail to be built within the city of Washington, and that a sum not exceeding eight thousand dollars be, and the same hereby is appropriated to that purpose, to be paid out of any unappropriated monies in the treasury.
Sec. 11. And be it further enacted, That the corporation of Georgetown, in the district of Columbia, shall have full power and authority to tax any particular part or district of the town, for paving the streets, lanes or alleys therein, or for sinking wells, or erecting pumps which may appear for the benefit of such particular part or district. Provided that the rate of tax so to be levied shall not exceed two dollars per foot front, and that the same shall be enforced and collected in the same manner that the taxes which the said corporation had heretofore been authorised to lay and collect.
Sec. 12. And be it further enacted, That articles inspected at one port in the said district shall not be subject to a second inspection at any other port in the said district.
Sec. 13. And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States be authorised to raise the militia of the respective counties of Washington and Alexandria to be formed into regiments and other corps conformably, as nearly as may be, to the laws of Maryland and Virginia, as they stood in force in the said counties, respective-
ly, on the first Monday in December in the year one thousand eight hundred; and that he appoint and commission, during pleasure, all such officers of the militia of the said district, as he may think proper; that he be authorised to call them into service, in like manner as the executive of Maryland and Virginia were authorised in the counties of Washington and Alexandria respectively, on the first Monday of December, one thousand eight hundred. And that such militia, when in actual service, be entitled to the same pay and emoluments as the militia of the United States, when called out by the President.

Important Document.
[We have been furnished with the following important document, by the Hon. John Brown. By it our readers will be enabled to discover the motives which actuated the American government in negotiating the convention with Great Britain, for the payment of £600,000 sterling, in discharge of all claims which might arise under the 6th article of the treaty concluded by Mr. Jay. It will be seen by this convention the United States are exonerated from all responsibility for upwards of £5,000,000 sterling, which might have been claimed under the said 6th article of the British treaty]
The Resolutions of the board of commissioners, under the 6th article of Jay's treaty, embrace the following propositions, as appears from a letter from John Reed, jun. agent of the United States, to the Attorney General, dated 28th of April, 1801.
1st. That the laws passed by the state of South Carolina, generally called insolvency laws, are lawful impediments, within the meaning of the 6th article of the treaty of amity.
2d. That certain laws in the state of Virginia, the period of whose limitation did not expire till after the peace, and which were afterwards continued in force, operated as lawful impediments, within the meaning of the treaty, unless the United States can show that the delays, loss of value and security, were occasioned by other causes, which would have equally operated, had not those laws existed since the decision of the question respecting war-interest. This resolution stands unaffected by the proviso, in all cases, except when the debtor can be proved to be insolvent at the peace, which is a good defence against the claim.
3d. That interest during the war, is to be paid in all cases, except when it is not part of the contract, or there are special circumstances in the case.
4th. That the difference between the value of payments in paper money, accepted by the creditors of their agents, during the war, and the sterling value of the money, in which the debt was contracted, is a loss
within the meaning of the treaty of amity. 5th. That payments into the treasury or loan offices of the states during the war, are lawful impediments to the recovery of debts to the extent of such payments.
6th. That creditors are not required to proceed in chancery, or otherwise to let a side conveyances fraudulently made by their debtors.
7th. That creditors are not executed from bringing suits now, for the recovery of debts for which compensation is claimed.
8th. That creditors are not bound by the treaty of amity, to prove the solvency of their debtors, at the peace, but the United States are, to prove their insolvency.
9th. That claimants attained of high treason, whose debts were confiscated for crimes and who, deserting the American side, joined the British and continued on that side until the peace, are creditors within the meaning of the 4th article of the treaty of peace.
A recapitulation of the amount of each description of debt, which would result from the principles adopted by the Board, as made by Mr. Reed, and including interest, to different dates within the year 1798.
  The interest during the war alone 120,645 11 1 3/4   For payments into the treasury & loan office 171,797 00 6 3/4   For impediments by insolvency laws of South Carolina 337,858 26 0   For alleging unlawful decisions of courts 24,658 43 3 3/4   By firms, in part citizens of the United States 162,483 12 4 3/4   Debts due from states, late provinces of the United States 4,838 14 0   All deductions of refugees, except North Carolina 753,182 42 1/2   Debts discharged in depreciated money 205,795 15 5 3/4   Proprietary debts, 296,715 13 8   Legal impediments generally, 3,560,585 10 4 1/4   Total sterling, 5,188,629 8 1   Dolls. 24,309.969 37   Claims to compensation for spoliations preferred under the 7th article of the treaty, amounted to 1,950,000 sterling. 
Late Foreign Intelligence By the ship Hugh Johnston, 48 days from Liverpool.
LONDON, May 22. THE registers opened in France, upon the question whether BONAPARTE shall be Consul for Life? are represented to be filing very rapidly: If we may believe the Paris papers, the answer will be an unanimous affirmative. It is rather extraordinary that none of the Paris papers to the 19th inst. take the slightest notice of the proposition submitted by the Mayoralities of Paris, to the Prefect for giving to Bonaparte, in addition to the Consulate for life, the power of nominating his successor. Yet it is certain that such a proposition has been made, and that the Prefect did not discourage it.
Mynheer I. W. JONSSENS is appointed by the Batavian Government to be Governor and General in Chief of the Cape of Good Hope.
Extract of a Letter.
PARIS, May 17. "My last letter informed you that measures of the first importance, which I had some time since intimated, were about to be carried into immediate effect; that it was not only certain that Bonaparte would be appointed Consul for life, but that it was also in contemplation to superadd a privilege unexampled by the great men of the nation, by empowering him to nominate his successor! It was not on light grounds, you may rest assured, that I stated a business of so much magnitude, and which has for its tendency to alter the nature of the Government, by making the First Magistrate hereditary, instead of elective. I intimated also, what sort of a reception this proposition was likely to meet with when made. The following official papers, which I hasten to send by a friend who travels post, will amply support and confirm all that I have suggested."
The Mayors of the Commune of Paris, to the Prefect of the Department of the Seine.
CITIZEN PREFECT. Paris 22 Floreal. PLACED as we are near to the people of Paris, by our daily functions—being every day the immediate depositaries of their sentiments of affection for the person of the First Consul, and of their wishes and anxiety for the stability and perpetuity of a government, which has brought back their happiness; it belongs particularly to us to satisfy our consciences, to do what is expected from us by our fellow-citizens, and what we owe to the public weal, by stating our unanimous conviction, that the question proposed by the Act of the Government on the 30th Floreal, does not completely meet the wishes of the people of Paris. Since it is true, "that when confided on their dearest interests, the people should know no other limit than those very interests," we demand of you, in their name, to submit to them this second question,
"Shall NAPOLEON BONAPARTE have the power of naming his successor? It is worthy of BONAPARTE after having effected the happiness of his own age, to assure also, by his choice of a successor, that of the generation which is to succeed. We presume to say, that to offer him the means of the doing this, is the only national recompence worthy of him and of the French people. We know sufficiently well, Citizen Prefect, your personal sentiments, to doubt of the reception which you will give to this demand. We have the honor to salute you."
[Here follow the signatures of the twelve Mayors.] (A TRUE COPY.) ET. MEJAN, Sec. Gen. of the Prefecture.
THE ANSWER.
CITIZEN MAYORS, Paris 24, Floreal. The Administrator can only order the literal execution of the orders which are given to him by the government, it does therefore not belong to me to present for the decision of the citizens who are called
upon to vote, a question, upon which the Government has not ordered that they should be consulted. Yet if the exact observation of administrative rules forbids me to order that the proposition, contained in the letter which you have done me the honor to transmit on the 22d, should be added as a question to that on which the votes are now opened in the Department of the Seine, nothing prevents the citizens from spontaneously expressing their wish on this subject, at the same time that they decide on the question proposed by the Decree of the Consuls.
Amongst the votes received since the 22d at the Secretariat, of the Prefecture, a great number have been given in with the amendment, which forms the object of your proposition. The same freedom may be left to the voters who shall present themselves at the Secretariats of your several Mayoralities, and in this manner we shall have fulfilled our duty, without incurring the reproach of having substituted our foresight (prevoyance) for that of the government. This answer, which the severity of principles compels me to make to you, Citizens Mayors, would give me much pain, if I was equally prohibited from praising the intentions which have dictated the proposition, of which I thank you for having made me the depositary. The publication of your letter, as an act of zeal for the stability of Government, and as an homage rendered to the virtues of the First Consul, can alone acquit me towards you, and I hasten to give orders for that purpose. I have the honor to salute you.
(Signed) FROCHOT. Prefect of the Department of the Seine.
In the Tribune yesterday, the law for promulgating the Treaty of Amiens, passed unanimously; as did a vote of thanks to Joseph Bonaparte, the negotiator.
Gen. Menou, of the late arm. of Egypt, has been elected a member of the Tribune.
BONAPARTE on Suicide.
A Paris paper of the 19th of May, says, in consequence of a grenadier of the Consular Guard having shot himself, on account of a disappointment in love, the First Consul commanded the following notice to be posted up at the barracks:—
"A soldier ought to know how to overcome grief, and the melancholy arising from passion: There is as much true courage in suffering with firmness mental pain, as in remaining firm before the grape shot of a battery. For a soldier to abandon himself to sorrow without any resistance, to kill himself in order to avoid it, is to abandon the field of battle, without having conquered."
FRENCH GENERALS.
The letters that have passed between Generals Regnier, Menou, and Desaign, respecting their disputes, about the campaigns of Egypt, have been published—Regnier accused Desaign of retiring from the field of battle with a slight wound only, and of misleading Menou by his advice.—For this, Desaign challenged Regnier to a duel at Paris. Regnier, in his answer, speaks of him as a contemptible fellow, but agrees to give him satisfaction. In the duel Regnier killed Desaign. Regnier, in his turn, has challenged Menou, laying in his letter—"Government, looking only to your intention of keeping Egypt, has not thought fit to bring you to trial for the faults that have occasioned the loss of that country, or for having deceived them by false representations. They have pardoned you—but I could not imitate their conduct in that respect. My honor, and the glory of the French arms, required that it should be made known in what manner you have ensured unmerited success to the English." He concludes his letter by saying—"Should you continue to vegetate under the infamy to which public opinion must consign you, I will cease to notice the remains of a life fulfilled by so many acts of perfidy and baseness; but should you again, by dint of intrigues, succeed in puffing yourself into notice, be assured you shall not be able to avoid me, even should you be shielded enough to solicit an order for our separation." Menou appears to have referred the affair to the Minister of War, who wrote an order to Regnier to retire thirty leagues from Paris. It is possible, that this affair gave rise to reports of the arrest and exile of other Officers suspected of designs against Bonaparte.

WASHINGTON, JULY 8.
ON Monday the Anniversary of our Freedom was celebrated with universal enthusiasm. At sunrise, the day was ushered in by a discharge of artillery from the navy yard. At noon the President of the United States received the ladies of the city and George Town, and was waited upon generally by the citizens, among whom refreshments were liberally distributed, and a part of the Mammoth cheese, which was cut on the occasion: An animated gait was diffused over the countenances of the whole company. The presence of many of our most distinguished revolutionary characters excited a lively recollection of, and deep interest in, those sublime scenes which our successful struggle developed; and a sentiment of gratitude pervaded every heart, that the intrepid asserters of our rights amidst the storms of a revolution, were preserved to perpetuate, extend and enjoy them in peace.
At four o'clock a dinner was given at the Navy Yard. The company consisted of about one hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen, among whom were the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Post Master-General, the respective officers of the Treasury, War and Navy departments, the French Charge des Affairs, the officers of the Army & Navy, other officers of the general Government, and strangers of distinction.
General Dearborn Presided. Supported by Mr. Carroll and Captain Tingey, as Vice Presidents.
After dinner the following toasts were given, each of which was followed by a discharge of from one to sixteen guns, and by a patriotic air played by Col. Burrows's band, interspersed with songs.
 1. THE DAY—Immortality to the principle it established.  2. THE PEOPLE.—The security of their friends, the terror of their foes.  3. THE GENERAL & STATE GOVERNMENTS.—One great system—May the whole be as indissoluble and energetic as the parts sovereign and free.  4. JEFFERSON, WASHINGTON and ADAMS.—The mind that conceived, the sword that achieved, and the zeal that roused our freedom.  5. AGRICULTURE—Venerated be the plough, and respected those who follow it.  6. COMMERCE—May enterprise, industry, and honor, continue to prosper.  7. MANUFACTURES—May their prudent extension add new security to national independence.  8. THE SCIENCES and the ARTS—America has produced a Franklin and a Rittenhouse.  9. THE HEROES and STATESMEN of 1776—Their country the United States, the theatre of their glory the world.  10. PARTY SPIRIT—May it disappear, before the brighter spirit of patriotism, founded on an attachment to principles and not men.  11. PEACE to the world, and with the world.  12. OUR MILITIA, ARMY and NAVY—Feeble in aggression, but mighty in defence.  13. EQUAL Rights protected by equal laws—The true definition of republicanism.  14. AMERICAN POLITICS—May they never be debased by European intrigues.  15. FREEDOM to those who would make us slaves.  16. THE DAUGHTERS of AMERICA—May their virtues be rewarded with love, and their love crowned with happiness.  17. THE DISTRICT of COLUMBIA—The child of the union, may her equal regards extend to all virtuous men. 
The arrangements at the Navy Yard were made, under the superintendence of Captain Tingey and Col. Burrows, with a very happy regard to elegance and accommodation. The ladies were received under a handsome Marquee, until dinner time, when the company was arranged at an extensive table in the form of a hollow square, under a lofty tent covered with the colours of the frigates, which lay within view, ornamented with the flags of all nations.
After the first toasts were drunk the ladies retired to a spacious apartment in the Marine Ware-house, just finished, where a ball terminated the entertainments of the day.
Beside these celebrations, there were many others in different parts of the city, all of which were conducted with the greatest harmony and conviviality.
May every returning Anniversary of this day find the American people as happy, united, and free, as they now are!
The era of national independence has again returned, and again we are called upon by every sentiment of gratitude to commemorate an event to which we are indebted for all we possess, and all we hope to obtain. The crimes, the convulsions and oppressions of Europe impress the liveliest sense of the magnitude of an event that dissolved our connection with that portion of the globe. But for that event we had participated in those crimes, experienced those convulsions, and groaned under those oppressions; and instead of embracing within our limits between four and five millions of freemen, we should have been surrounded only with fellow-slaves.
It will be instructive to compare what we should have been, under such circumstances with what we are now. Britain claiming succeeded by force to her unlimited claim of taxation, would have destroyed by open violence or more insidious snare; all the independent talent of our country. The statesman that recommended, and the hero that fought for our liberty would have experienced the ignominious fate of rebels. Instead of the undaunted spirit inspired by successful valour, coward fear would probably have taken possession of every heart, and the highest ambition of our greatest men would have been to distinguish their loyalty to a corrupt court by a zealous co-operation in all its schemes of injustice & oppression. In vain would the indignant and insulted spirit of freedom have exhibited a transient effusion of its rights. The gallows, stilled with the blood of a Washington and a Franklin, would have soon warned him of his fate.
That prosperity which each individual owes to freedom of pursuit, would have been subverted by monopoly. We should have had our East-India and West-India companies, our governmental bank; our trade would have been limited to the mother country; our manufactures would have been subjected to oppressive restrictions, and our agriculture would have languished. We should have been taxed to the extent of our ability, without our consent, and for what? To support a standing army of British mercenaries, to perpetuate our bondage, to administer to the pomp of foreign royalty, to extend the insatiable spirit of British cupidity, and keep down the first risings of liberty in other nations. Let us descend to particulars. The imagination may be more forcibly struck with a general view, but the understanding is best addressed by a detail of circumstances. England is burthened with the annual payment of fifty millions sterling, equal to two hundred and fifty millions of dollars; this sum divided among a population of about ten millions amounts to twenty-four dollars a head for every man, woman and child; and if we take eight persons as the average number of a family, it will follow that each family pays annually in taxes, either direct or indirect one hundred and ninety two dollars; such would have been our fate. Instead of contributing as we now do, about two dollars a head, or sixteen dollars a family, we should have to
pay twenty-four dollars a head, and one hundred and ninety-two dollars a family.
Such would have been our pecuniary situation. Our industry would have been annihilated, our enterprise would have been sunk, and with them all pretensions to virtue and talent would have perished. We should have been placed on a footing with those regions of the east, where the blood of thousands and tens of thousands flows at the nod of a tyrant, whose sole passions are avarice and sensual enjoyment.
Where, in such a state of things, would have been our equal right, our impartial laws, our unrivalled constitutions, our freedom of conscience, our liberty of the press, our property, our lives? They would have been at the mercy of lawless power, without even the feeble restraints which the contemplation of misery produces on the heart of a tyrant. We should have been plundered of our property, and despoiled of our rights by subordinate agents who would have concealed from their masters our degradation and our misery.
Think not, fellow-citizens, this an exaggerated picture! It delineates the actual situation of every colony in the world; and had we long remained a colony, it must also have been our situation.
If such would have been the degradation of our lot, had we continued in a dependent state, is there a citizen among us who does not rejoice in the splendid event that severed us from Britain? Is there a citizen, duly impressed with the greatness of the event, that does not feel the liveliest gratitude to those statesmen and heroes, who devoted the vigour of their lives to the establishment of our freedom and happiness? However, then, we may be divided on subsequent measures, let us with united hearts hail the anniversary of a day, that having conferred liberty on one empire, promises it to the whole world.
The following is an extract from an Oration, pronounced at Rutland, Vermont, on the fifth of July, by WILLIAM C. WHITE.
IT is not the least of the many pleasing considerations, offered by this anniversary, that the present first magistrate of our nation possesses, in an eminent degree, those great and useful talents, which so happily qualify him for his arduous situation. To do justice to the character of JEFFERSON would demand a genius of no ordinary skill. There are in it, some fine lineaments, which would require many exquisite touches of the pencil. He is remarkably distinguished for a liberality of mind, which alone elevates him above all competition.
He venerates the public sentiment as awfully sacred; and which ought never to be profaned by government, under the artful pretext of punishing sedition.
In religion, as in politics, we behold in this great man, the same benignant, the same charitable spirit of toleration. And where is the man audacious enough to accuse his spirit? Can we call ourselves freemen, while our consciences are in slavery? Shall we not, rather, deprecate that persecuting zeal which forbids the mind the privilege of thinking; which, in the violence of its fury, passes sentence of condemnation on the noblest faculty of man? O, my countrymen! what term of infamy would you apply to the sacrilegious plunderer, who should rob you of the comforts of your religion? What sighs of anguish would escape you, at the sight of your holy temples prostituted, into the profane hands of the deist and the jew! How amiable would be your distress! How magnanimous would be your indignation! Lock, then, into the secret of yourselves! Consult the pride of your understandings! Count over the riches of your hope. You will, thereby, learn what are the sufferings of the deist and the jew, when the pride of their understandings is insulted; when the riches of their hopes are destroyed!
It is necessary, for the happiness of society, that religionists of every persuasion should renounce those rude incivilities so disgraceful in any character, but more particularly so, in that of the christian. For him there is no apology. The holy being, whose example he professes to adore, was a perfect model of meekness and generosity. To him the passion of hatred was unknown. His pure and upright soul was never shaded by a single cloud of malignity! Why, then, should any of the disciples of this being indulge themselves in those ungracious dispositions so abhorrent to benevolence and their master! Shall we not charge bigotry with the cause? O, my friends, when once the mad and merciless temper of bigotry is let loose upon the world, there is no crime too high for its commission, there is no enormity too extravagant for its practice. For the truth of this assertion I appeal to the authentic records of history. I appeal to the absurd persecution of GALILEO who was censured, as a heretic, by a barbarous inquisition, for advancing an astronomical truth. I appeal to the reign of the second THEODOsius, when a young and amiable woman was inhumanly murdered by a set of pious ruffians, because she was attached to the religion of her fathers. I appeal to the celebrated massacre of St. BARTHOLOMEW, when an ocean of blood, an ocean of human blood, was shed to appease the malice of the catholicks!
Since, then, we have these dreadful

examples, before us, with what vigilance ought we to guard against the judgments which mislead, and those passions which destroy. With what jealousy ought we to view that gloomy and misanthropic spirit, which too often imposes itself upon the credulous, for the true religion.
Were I capable of drawing a picture of religion, I would form in my mind an image of perfect purity. Her eye should be serene. Her attitude should express the backwardness and reserve of modesty. Her right hand should be eagerly extended, in love towards her friends; her left hand should be generously inclined, in charity towards her enemies. How different this from that dark and comfortless superstition, which broods, with fallen malignity, over the miseries of life! The character of the one is full of simplicity and benevolence; the character of the other is full of affection and hatred. From religion we have every thing to hope; from superstition we have every thing to fear! The one will teach us to overlook those little differences of opinion, the existence of which must be expected among a great people; the other will embroil us in perpetual warfare. The one will conduct us, with a steady hand, through the undeviating paths of truth; the other will seduce us, with a giddy and intoxicated step, through the trackless wilderness of falsehood!
But it is not the terrible fury of fanaticism, alone, which we have to dread. We have another fiend to encounter, at whose frantic rage, humanity shrinks with consternation! Let us collect, then, the united forces of our wisdom, and our virtue, to quell this monstrous, this audacious spirit of party! This spirit leads, in the melancholy train of her ruin those estimable virtues which give a charm to Society. She brandishes a scourge of living serpents, whose very hisses deafen our reason, but whose sting is more agonizing than death! In her rage for devastation, she kills whatever is wonderful in genius, or dignified in virtue. It is this restless and pernicious harpy, who poisoned the felicity of the ancient republics, and finally triumphed in their destruction! Greece felt the plague of her fashions, and Rome felt the mischiefs of her fury! In the one, ARISTIDES, the just, the patriot, the amiable ARISTIDES was marked out, a guileless victim of her abominations! In the other, her pestiferous rage glutted itself upon the brave and memorable CAMILLUS. In our own Country, she is, we hope, but a stranger. We have seen many marks of her spleen, but no monuments of her desolation. Let us, then, discourage the full efforts of her confidence, lest she, hereafter, acquire a boldness which may be fatal to our liberty!
PHILADELPHIA, July 9. A new settlement is about to be made on the river Potomack, about forty miles above Washington-City. The settlers consist wholly of a large number of families from Connecticut, mostly of the Baptist communion, who have fled from the religious intolerance of the "Athens" of America.
A grand Caucus has been lately held at Boston, where a system of opposition has been regularly organized. There were delegates from several of the states. Mr. Snodgrass, from Washington, is now on his return home from thence.
A person of the name of John Michael, who formerly held a commission in the army of the United States, and who goes out of military service in consequence of a law of Congress, has made an attack upon the administration, because he was not retained in the service—he begins a letter on the subject of his discharge in this way. "My long contemplated sentence of destruction has at length come to hand. Our infamous President has ordered me into 'civil life.'"
If any thing were wanting to prove the evils of military establishments, this man's detestable idea of going into 'civil life' is to him 'death'—and the President, (whom he nevertheless was willing to serve) is infamous for taking him from idleness.
Extract of a letter dated Paris, May 5, to a gentleman in Baltimore. "Respecting the very interesting matter to American creditors, nothing is yet decided; our Minister has demanded officially of the Minister of Exterior Relations, that our claims be paid; several official notes have passed between them on the subject, and at last a report thereon is laid before the Consuls; so the business now stands, and you will allow that no great progress has been made. All the other neutral creditors are in the same predicament. The Legislative Body are still in their extraordinary sessions, which will end on the 21st instant. I do not believe that the Consuls will propose any law or a mode of payment for neutral debts, before the Legislature adjourns, and of course nothing would be done on that head till next winter, when they will meet again. The present value of all American, as well as other claims which originated before September, 1796, is fixed by the value of the public stock, agreeably to the law on the article, two thirds in becs, and the other third in rentes provisoires; which is about 14 per cent of the nominal value."
A letter from Paris, of a late date, says "Every thing round the palace of Bonaparte has the appearance of royal splendor; and he is about establishing a Military Body similar to the ancient Garde du Corps."
Portsmouth. TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1802.
Latest from EUROPE.
SINCE our last, the B. B. Confidence, Capt. REDMAN, from Liverpool, has furnished London papers to the 27th May. They do not contain any interesting intelligence. The London "Courier" of the 27th May, gives the following:—
"A most extraordinary report has been brought from Calais to Dover last night. It is, that the life of BONAPARTE HAS BEEN AGAIN ATTEMPTED—on the parade at the review the 24th inst. The conspirators surrounded him, and stabbed him. Happily the wound was slight; an Aid-de-Camp, however, near him, was mortally wounded. "We give this" adds the Courier, "as a rumour, without pledging ourselves in the slightest degree for its authenticity. It may be an echo of a report circulated here some days ago, on the authority of some private accounts from Paris, which mention, that a conspiracy against BONAPARTE's life had been planned, but had been discovered." A Dover article of 26th, gives the same intelligence as report.
The French Councils have recently been engaged in the formation of efficient laws for recruiting the armies, for the establishment of a military corps of Patricians; the re-establishment of negro slavery in their colonies; the restoration of religion; and the institution of public colleges & schools. Many of these measures have been adopted with unanimity; But the creation of the "Legion of Honor," and the re-establishment of slavery in the Colonies, has met much opposition in the Tribune and Legislature; but eventually passed by considerable majorities.
Accounts from the West-Indies, mention, that some reinforcements had arrived at the Cape, from France; and that tranquility was restored, and business reviving.
COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT. The master of the brig Tyger, arrived at New-York on Tuesday last, in 30 days from Bordeaux, informs that the day before he failed from thence, news was received at Paris, that the French government had prohibited all foreigners trading to any part of their West-India possessions except St. Domingo.
Capt. Perkins, arrived at Baltimore on the 7th inst. in 10 days from Cape-Francois, informs, that Toussaint was sent off, a few days before he failed, for France, to take his trial; that every thing was tranquil at the Cape, and part of Gantcheune's squadron with troops on board, had arrived prior to the sailing of the Nancy. No alterations had taken place in the markets since the sailing of the Flying Fish, except in the article of lumber, which was very scarce, and commanded a good price.
SINGULAR PRESENT.
After the celebrated battle of the Nile, fought on the 1st of August, 1798, the Swiftsure, after the action, was busily employed in getting up pieces of the wreck of 'Orient' among the rest, a large part of the mainmast was brought on board. Captain, now admiral Hallowell, caused a Coffin to be made of the wood and iron from this mast, with an inscription on the lid; this he presented to Lord Nelson, who received it, as a most valuable acquisition, and actually intends, when his career of territorial glory is terminated, to be enclosed in it.
ANTIQUITIES DISCOVERED.
Some valuable antiquities have been lately discovered at Neuwied, in Germany; and not far from the town, the ruins of a Roman City, with a forum, (castrum) of a rectangular form, 240 feet in length, 64 in breadth and surrounded by a wall 5 feet thick, with towers of defence. Several houses, a palace, and a small temple, have also been found. The coins, busts, &c. which have been dug up, have been formed into a cabinet by the Princess of Neuwied.
Near the Rhine they have discovered the remains of a Roman Way, which proves that the Rhine formerly was not so wide as at present. At a league from Neuwied are to be seen the ruins of a bridge, and all the environs are covered with walls, forts and houses, under the surface of the earth.
George W. Cuffis, proprietor of a vast extent of lands, on the sea coast of Virginia, has published proposals for its settlement, for the purpose of erecting cotton plantations thereon. The soil is described as very productive, and the climate so mild as to vegetate at all seasons. Persons disposed to enter into the speculation, are to apply to him in Alexandria.
What do that people deserve, who, happy under an upright conduct of public affairs, suffer themselves to be alarmed into an improper bias against the guardians of their liberty? Do they not deserve to be shackled with the manacles of slavery? Yea, even more. When the concerns of the nation are managed with economy and ability, and no charge is exhibited against the magistrate but the want of pomp and extravagance, it evidently follows that there is no real ground of complaint; and where there is no cause, for complaining, how can the necessity exist for railing enemies to him whom our own choice has made the ruler?—We speak of Jefferson. The people it is hoped are too wise to suffer themselves at a time of the greatest prosperity, to be duped by the designing, or suffer themselves to be deluded by those imaginary terrors which are depicted by the factious demagogues to the day; those disappointed men, who, wretched in power would soon convince us that they rule alone with a rod of iron.
If, however, under such circumstances, the citizens of the United States should suffer themselves to be fermented to a point destructive to their welfare, we hesitate not to say, that they deserve something worse than slavery; they would merit the utmost severity of an Egyptian task master.
From Haverhill, New-Hampshire.
The anniversary of our Independence, the 4th of July, being on Sunday, was on Monday celebrated by a number of respectable gentlemen of Haverhill and its vicinity, who met at Dr. Rofs Coon's Hall, at Haverhill, and appointed Col. Obadiah Clement, chairman for the day, and the following gentlemen were chosen a committee to make the necessary arrangements and prepare suitable toasts, viz. Ezra Bartlett, Esq. William Tarlton, Esq. Capt. David Webster, Lieut. Stephen Lambert, and Capt. Wm. Butler.
A volunteer company under the command of Lieut. Nutt, appeared on the parade, and did themselves much honor by their display of military manœuvres and regular filings—At 2 o'clock they partook of an elegant and well attended dinner in Dr. Coon's Hall—after which the following toasts were drank, accompanied with regular discharges from Lt. Nutt's company.
1. The DAY—May it be celebrated as long as the country shall stand, which gave birth to those virtues and achievements which are the objects of its celebration.
2. THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States of America, distinguished through the world for his patriotism, science, talents and integrity—May his future administration equal that part of it which has passed, in wisdom and uprightness.
3. The Vice President and Congress—May they continue to pursue that system of prudence and economy, recommended by our illustrious Executive and be cautious of making expenditures, when no necessity requires them; that in times of necessity we may have some thing to expend.
4. The Federal Constitution—May it prove immortal.
5. The U. S. of America—May they ever remember that Union is the Rock of their peace and salvation, and that civil war and slavery will follow on the heels of division.
6. The deceased and surviving Heroes of the American Revolution—May they and the cause they defended never be forgotten. Three Cheers.
7. The memory of WASHINGTON—May a nation's gratitude ever flow for his services, and may his virtues be admired & imitated as long as any of the human race are in existence. Three cheers.
8. The memory of FRANKLIN, the American Sage, Patriot and Philosopher, who dispelled the thunder cloud of its terrors, tyranny of a sceptre. Three cheers.
9. The State of New-Hampshire—May she consider that the present administration of the National Government is not only conducive to the public weal, but peculiarly favorable to her particular interest.
10. JOHN T. GILMAN Governor of the State of New-Hampshire—May his administration ever comport with the general government.
11. The Hon. JOHN LANGDON, honest, candid, liberal, conciliatory and magnanimous—May his services to this state and his country ever receive the gratitude of a people who are conscious of the value of them.
12. The New-Hampshire Union Bank—Our cordial congratulations to its friends and advocates, who triumphed in the cause of justice, humanity and the interests of the state—May its opponents learn that more credit is given to the authors of an honest act, when the act proceeds from Principle, than where it is done through fear.
13. Agriculture—May no administration ever again check that art which supports all arts, by oppressive and needless burthens. Three cheers.
14. Commerce and Manufactures—May they be duly cherished and duly protected.
15. The Liberty of the Press—notwithstanding the many evils connected with its liberty, may it be inviolably maintained.
16. The Militia of our Country, its best defence—May those who compose it never again be insulted by a Standing Army in time of peace. Three cheers.
17. Civil Government—May those that are Republican remain so—those that are not, become so—that the condition of mankind may be improved and made happier. Three cheers.
The greatest decency and decorum pervaded the conduct of the day, and each at a suitable and early hour retired at their homes.
SELECT TOASTS.
The people: The source of all legitimate government.
The 4th of March 1801.—The day that burst the bands of Anglo Federalism, and gave a second birth to the freedom of our country.
The union of the American States, and the constitutions which cement it: Perish the traitors who would violate them.
The President of the United States, the firm and undeviating friend of civil liberty and public economy.
Principles and not men: When men desert principles, may the people desert them.
The finances of the United States—May it never again be asserted in the face of a free people, that a national debt is a national blessing. Three cheers.
The internal taxes—May they never be revived to support idlers at the expence of the industrious.
The paltry effusions of party, against THE PRESIDENT, on the 4th of July shews to what a contemptible state the opposition is reduced. In Boston, the Governor gave "the President of the United States," at his Table. The Cincinnati paid him their homage of respect, and 300 Republican Citizens made Faneuil Hall resound with his praises.
The Tory Federalists are continually harping upon the President for dismissing them from office; we know of no precedent whereby they can justify their grumbling propensities; can they say, with truth, that it is the policy of a master to keep valets in his chamber, that would fuck his blood, and rob him of his plate? Even so would ye have done, ye pious Tories! The happy man who incurs your vile displeasure, rises more pure in the hearts of the people, and more virtuous in the eyes of the world.

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
Mr. Cushing, of Haverhill, went to the river for the purpose of bathing, but unfortunately mistaking the depth of the water, imprudently leaped from the wharf into the stream, and immediately disappeared, and was not found till some hours after, notwithstanding diligent search was made.
Mr. Bela Dexter, of Trenton was instantaneously killed by the fall of a tree, aged 26 years—He has left a widow and three children to lament the unhappy catastrophe. A man in Cazenovia, we are informed, was killed in the same melancholy manner, on the same day with Mr. Dexter.
Mr. James Luther, the 3d of Warren, Rhode-Island, had both his arms blown off, by the discharge of a cannon, while he was ramming down the cartridge. There is a considerable probability that his life will be preserved.
Mr. E. Richardson of Newport was killed last week by the accidental discharge of a Gun.—Why will you not learn to be cautious when using this instrument of death?
DROWNED—At Northwood, last week in Jennett's pond, two married men by the names of Carr, twin brothers; and Mr. J. LANCY, who, in attempting their relief was also unfortunately lost.
On Friday evening last departed this life, after a lingering indisposition, that truly valuable friend of man, and fellow citizen, Dr. JOSHUA BRACKET, Esq. President of the New-Hampshire Medical Society, and one of the best Physicians and greatest ornaments of our country—in the 70th year of his age. Columns of Newspapers might be filled (with the greatest propriety) in praise of the virtues, and virtuous deeds of this our worthy deceased friend; but we forbear, leaving the pleasing task to some abler hand, hoping our paper will be honored with the insertion of one drawn by the pencil of genius, aided by some kind spirit that will dictate his character under the inspiration of truth.
His funeral was attended yesterday, by a numerous concourse of sincerely mourning friends and relations, whose grief bespoke the affection of their souls.

DIED.
At his plantation on Shelly's Island, in Dauphin County, Mr. Daniel Shelly's in the 66th year of his age, of the Droply. During his confinement he had been tapped no less than 33 times, and often from six to ten quarts of water were drawn from him at a time. He had out-lived four wives, with each of whom he had children, in all, eighteen.—At Bristol, Pennsylvania, a female slave named Alice, aged 116. She was born in Philadelphia, and at ten years of age removed to Dunks' Ferry. She remembered the ground on which Philadelphia stands, when it was a wilderness; and when the Indians (its chief inhabitants) hunted wild game in the woods while the panther, the wolf and the bear of the forest, were prowling about the wigwams and cabins in which they lived.—At Concord, Delaware County, Rachel Walter, relict of the late William Walter, in the 92d year of her age; She was the mother of eight children, (all of whom lived to the years of maturity) had 67 grand children, 91 great grand children and one great grand child—total 167, of these 132 are now living.

Miscellaneous Repository. COMMUNICATION. REFLECTION.
WALKING out one morning last week, just as the sun began to illuminate the western world, and contemplating on the various beauties of nature, which were so profusely displayed on every side, I could not but observe what a powerful argument, for the existence of Deity, may be raised from the works of creation, independent of revelation. When we view the uniformity of nature's operations; the beauty, the harmony which reigns throughout the great fabric of the universe, and the admirable structure of the vegetable, but more particularly of the animal world, can any person suppose that these things could be formed thus without a design in the all wise Founder? If we survey for a moment the structure of each animal, we see them wonderfully adapted to the situation in which they are placed. The form of the human frame has for many ages been an object of wonder, to the wisest of men. To think that the bare operation of the elements, without any conscious action, could, from the same mass of matter, form organs of a texture and use so various as combine to complete the human body, is repugnant to reason and common sense.—As I was indulging this train of reflection, and enjoying the charms of the opening day, I drew forth my pencil and scrawled the following
POETIC LINES. SHALL Summer in each beauty dress With naught sublime inspire the breast, Nor tempt us to adore, That power supreme, whose boundless love Dispenses blessings from above In such a boundless store. Tell me, vile Atheist, canst thou view Yon orb that sheds its rays on you, And all yon starry host; Canst thou survey this spacious globe, Deck'd in its green, enchanting robe, And still maintain thy boast. That nought but matter dwells in space, That matter forms the human race, And all their parts combine? But how can elemental strife, Raise simple matter into life, Without the least design? As well might chance a palace frame, An organ make with ease the same, And fix the trembling string; How wondrous nature's works appear, What countless beauties here and there Returning seasons bring! The distant mountain's lofty brow Waves with the opening foliage now, A vast, and charming scene: The heavens are hung with purest blue, The sun absorbs the pearly dew, From fields array'd in green. The stream that winter held in chains, Its wanted liberty regains, And murmuring flows along; While rustic Poets view the stream, Transported tune the pleasing theme In an enchanting song.
Moralist. HOW abandoned is that heart which bulges the tear of innocence, and is the cause, the fatal cause, of overwhelming the spotless soul, and plunging the yet unattained mind into a sea of sorrow and repentance! Though born to protect the fair, does not man, act the part of a Demon? First alluring by his temptations and then triumphing in his victory; when villainy gets the ascendancy, it seldom leaves the wretch till it has thoroughly polluted him.
Medley. Messrs. PRINTERS, The following curious, droll, whimsical, and very humorous advertisement was inserted in one of the foreign public papers, about the year 1773, by a gentleman, who having purchased some land belonging to certain townships in W——, attempted to make some improvements on them by way of enclosure, &c. but as the measure was unpopular among the levellers of that country, they without leave or ceremony, demolished his fence.—As it may not be unentertaining to your numerous readers, it is at your service to insert in the Gazette, which will greatly oblige your constant reader and admirer. SAPHO.
"WHEREAS, I, Col. Thomas Crow, have been truly informed, that several atrocious, audacious, nefarious, piffilerious, infamous, intrepid, night-walking, garden-robbing, immature, peach-stealing, poaching rascals, all the spawn of thieves, and cubs of hell, do frequently, villainously, and burglariously assemble themselves, in my boats in the river Tullymore, therein boating, piping, plunging, fighting, cursing, swearing, Sabbath-breaking, and cock-hunting, with many other shameful enormities and illicit acts, that the modesty of my pen cannot express.
This is therefore to give you all notice, repels, scoundrels, raggamuffins, poltroons, duck-hunters, adulterers, lank-jawed, herring-gatted plebians. That if you, or any of you, dare to set foot in my boats, or any part of my property, I will send myridons like, tritons, who shall assail you in the deep, and plunge you in the great abyss called Brock's Hole. Then will I consign you to Charon, who shall ferry you over Styx, and deliver you to the arch-devil Lucifer, at the place of his infernal cauldron; there to be boiled in the fat bitumen of Vesuvius; to be dredged with the sulphur Caucasus, and to be roasted eternally before the ever-burning embers of Etna. Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, Darinas, Delicacious, Capercurnians, and Tullymarians, base-born scoundrels of whatsoever nation ye be, return me my bog-sticks, or by the Gods, the immortal Gods, I swear I will send my man Jacob to Babylon, for blood-hounds fiercer than tygers. With these, mounted on my famous horse Rattail, with my cutting sabre in my hand, I will hunt you through Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, until I censure you in my new-found-land, where the devil himself shall not find you. Then will I mount my Gazebo, and in the height of my wrath to the Gods will I declare what rascals ye have been."
