ing to the amount of the property transferred. In offering this tax, I am only extending a principle which has been already adopted by Parliament. A duty on every real, has already been laid on all property transferred by public auction; and if it be admitted that a tax on auctions is a fair tax, why objection can there be to laying a similar tax on property sold by private contract? The only objection that has occurred to me on this subject is, that of the tax operating in cases of distress, against which, I shall, when the bill comes in its proper shape before the House, make a provision. The only I mean to propose therefore, will be a tax on every real obtained for property transferred in this way. I am rather averse to making an accurate estimate of the sum which may be thus produced; but if I may be permitted to form a judgment from the increased duty on such sales within the last three years, I can venture to suppose that this tax will be very productive; and as the former has produced 100,000, in one year, it is reasonable to calculate that 40,000 pounds consideration money upon the latter will bring in a sum of 170,000. Supposing the property transferable in one year to amount to the sum of 10,000,000. The next tax which I have to propose in addition to this, is one which will fall equally light on all descriptions of people; it has been stated to me that the undenominated copies of deeds which are kept in different offices never have any stamp upon them, and that it is only the original deed which is stamped; I shall therefore propose that there should be no copy of this kind without a stamp equal to that of the original; and the duties produced by this regulation would amount to the sum of 40,000. The fourth article which I mean to propose as a subject of taxation, relates to the Probates of Wills, all of which, except those for sums under 300, I shall move to pay a certain duty, which may produce the sum of 40,000. The next subject I have to offer to the committee, is one which will produce a great deal of discussion out of this house. It relates to a certain species of property well known in this country; but it will be the vehicle (and that not a verbal one) of conveying to the different parts of the country, what I am now stating. When I consider the great prevalence of this vehicle of general intelligence, when I consider the amazing extent to which it has been carried; that the luxury of it has been so very generally felt and practiced; that the taste of the Public is not likely to be shaken, by any trifling encrease in the price of an article sought after with such universal avidity; when I consider also the immense profits produced by these articles of luxury, which are of a nature that ought not to exempt them from their share of general taxation, I conceive that the laying on an additional duty on newspapers, is a measure that cannot be in any manner objectionable. This might be done without any injury either to the editors or the authors of such publications. The present duty is 2d on each paper; in addition to which I should propose a further tax of one penny halfpenny; and even in that case, considerable gains will be produced to the proprietors of papers. I should conceive that the price to customers ought not to be raised any higher than this additional duty; because on a former occasion, in consequence of an encreased duty on paper, the price of newspapers were raised far beyond that proportion, and has continued so ever since; therefore I do not imagine the proprietors of them can now have any equitable claim to an encrease in their price. The sum produced by this duty will amount to 114,000. The next thing I have to propose, is a modification of the duties on advertisements published in newspapers. According to the regulations that exist at present, there is no difference in the duty upon an advertisement of three lines and that on one of the greatest extent. I should propose to vary the present mode, and according to the regulations which I shall offer, there may be advertisements the duty on which shall amount only to some shillings, while on others the duty shall rise up to some pounds sterling. The estimated produce from this source will amount to 20,000. The next duty I have to propose is to arise from a regulation of the stamps on attorneys certificates, by which certain frauds that have hitherto been practised may be prevented. This will produce the sum of 15,000. There is one more article of luxury which I shall propose to lay a tax on; that is, all plate that shall be manufactured for the purpose of ornamental use, which will produce the sum of 30,000. All those taxes which I have just now enumerated, seem to me to press as lightly on the general bulk of the people as any I could think of; and least of all to increase the national difficulties. There still remains one more to be added. I have endeavored to find one, which, although I confess it is not free from some speculative and practical objections, will not however be found inconvenient to the public at large. It is a subject which has often been thought of before this time; which has been once before this house but was withdrawn. This is a tax on carriages of all sorts, and on goods of all kinds conveyed by carriages which pass through turnpike-gates, where the tax is to operate by an increase of the tolls. To this it will be right to make some exemptions; such as exemptions on all new tolls until they shall have risen to a certain amount - general exceptions provided, for by general laws - and local exceptions in certain districts. The same exceptions that now prevail in tolls ought also to prevail on the part of the public; and I should propose that the same duty may be taken for the public, that is now paid for tolls. I cannot exactly say how much this will produce; but I know that when it was brought forward here about 15 years ago, it was estimated at no less a sum than between 4 and 500,000 pounds. With respect to the principle of this tax, it may be objected to on the ground of its being a great hardship to lay a burden on passengers and the conveyance of goods; but I hope when gentlemen will consider how small a portion must fall to each individual, that they will not look upon this as a grievance, but rather as a manner of lightening the general burthen. I have now stated every thing which I conceived material in as concise a manner as I could; and I return my thanks to the com-
mittee for the indulgence they have shown me during the length of time I have trespassed on their attention. I have no other excuse to make than that I am pleading the necessity of dwelling on a subject which I did not wish to bring forward immediately. - And I now submit this pleasing circumstance to the consideration of the House, that in the midst of difficulties, and apparently surrounded by calamities, we have still been able to find such ample resources, as those which have been stated to them this day. I call upon them to reflect, that at the moment when we are struggling with a great contest - while we are laboring under pressures as heavy as they are unexampled; we still see the strength and powers which we possess; and that if we are not to be alarmed at imaginary evils; if we are not to be dispirited by events which are not so calamitous in themselves as they have been conceived to be; we shall find the radical wealth and the ample means of this country fully sufficient to support us in every conjuncture of our affairs, and ultimately to restore us to that situation from which we have been removed for a time, by circumstances as extraordinary as they have been unavoidable. He then concluded by moving resolutions founded on his statements. Among them the following -  Summary of the new taxes.  The consolidated duties on stamps in general doubled £320,000 Tax on property transferred by private contract 170,000 Tax on copies of deeds 40,000 On probates of wills above the sum of 300. 40,000 Addition of 1 1-2d. on each newspaper stamp 114,000 Increased duty on advertisements 20,000 On attorneys certificates 15,000 On ornamental plate 30,000 Duty equal to the tolls on all carriages passing through turnpikes 450,000  Total, £1,199,000 [To be concluded to-morrow.]

SALEM, June 13. In the French papers from Bourdeaux, kindly communicated by Capt. Upton, of which six are in the month of April, we have found few articles, but have noticed the following. In January, the Russia fleet in the Black Sea was reported at Petersburg to consist of 20 ships of the Line, built of Oak, and of good construction for fast sailing, 10 of 50 guns and others were building, among which was one of 90 guns. There were 17 frigates. The smaller vessels with flat bottoms were 126, sufficient to transport 30,000 men, drawing only three feet water. The news from Basle was, that the neutrality of that place had brought company from all countries, and that the Swiss Cantons had recalled all their troops from the frontiers, and sent them home, confident that they should have no further occasion for them.
CHARLESTON, June 2. COMMUNICATION. The Spanish general sometime since said to have been in Georgia, is gone to St. Augustine. His errand was to see gen. Clarke, who was suspected of being in the British interest; whether the suspicions were just, or otherwise, Clarke is certainly now on his way to St. Augustine, to assist in its defence against the British.  A major de Beri is a principal in the plan for sending about 2000 men, French and others (probably a great many Americans from the back parts of Georgia, South-Carolina, North-Carolina, and Kentucky) to defend St. Augustine against the expected attacks of the English, or more probably to take possession of it in the name of liberty and equality.
SAVANNAH, June 6. Messrs. Powers & Seymour, I will thank you to insert the subjoined in your useful paper, and oblige  A SUBSCRIBER. On Thursday last arrived at Cockspur, a Virginia built brig, formerly called the Matilda, at present under Spanish colours, mounting 16 guns 4 and 6 pounders, with 102 men; left from St. Thomas, commanded by Thomas Whippo, whose general character is well known in the middle and southern states as well as some parts of Europe. Unfortunately for our national character, he once claimed the right of a citizen of New-York by birth.
Capt. Whippo arrived at this port late in the month of December last, in the ship Commerce of New-York, from Baltimore; here he made a kind of sale of the ship, to Capt. John Green of Alexandria, who loaded her for the West-Indies. To avoid the fraternal embrace of the British, or some of his deputies, and to disappoint his creditors, Capt. Whippo's friends gave out that he had embarked in the barque Albany, for Europe, and from that time he became invisible to the public. When the Commerce was ready for sailing, he left this city by moon light, and proceeded in her to St. Croix, where she was again sold, whence this virtuous American proceeded to St. Thomas, and purchased the brig above mentioned, and has some hither with the laudable intention of capturing American property.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Tuesday, June 20.  The act for making a detachment of the militia, was read the third time and the blanks filled up, fixing the number of men which each state should furnish on the basis of the number of which inhabitants, as follows:     Tennessee 806   Georgia 1334   S. Carolina 3535   N. Carolina 7268   Kentucky 1542   Virginia 11150   Maryland 5262   Delaware 1168   Pennsylvania 1096   New-Jersey 4186   New-York 7923   Connecticut 5860   Rhode Island 1246   Massachusetts 11835   New-Hampshire 3558   Vermont 2150   Total 80,000    The bill passed 43 to 26.
Mr. W. Smith, from the committee of ways and means, reported a bill laying a duty on licenses for the sale of wines by retail, and also foreign distilled spirits, which was twice read, and committed to a committee of the whole on Thursday. The house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill for raising an additional corps of artillery; when Mr. S. Smith took a pretty extensive view of the subject, and noticing the men reported to be stationed at different places, insisted upon there being a sufficient number at every one, except at Wilmington, N. Carolina. He wished the deficiency in the present regiment to be filled up, and then there might be a supply sent to Rhode-Island, and any other place where they might be required. Mr. Giles moved to strike out the first section of the bill. He thought the 300,000 dollars proposed to be expended on this object might be better disposed of in another way. Mr. W. Smith hoped the present motion would not prevail, as it was intended to destroy the bill. He thought the President and Secretary of War having recommended the measure, and one branch of the legislature having passed a law upon the subject, they ought not to defeat the business in this way. He was surprised the gentleman from Maryland should have been so decidedly opposed to it, since the other day he seemed undetermined on the subject. He had taken a view of the different posts, and declared them all well garrisoned, but he had taken no notice of places where there was not a single man. Mr. S. said it should be remembered that in the men calculated to be at each place, were included non-commissioned officers and men; stripped of these, he made the whole number 350 men. The posts at which no men were stationed were, he said, Portland in Maine, Portsmouth, N. H. Gloucester, Salem, Newport, R. I. New London, and Point Peter at Savannah. The report of the Secretary of War, Mr. S. noticed, had represented these places as going to decay for want of being kept in repair. He noticed some objection urged against this measure on a former day. He denied that this could be called the selection of a regiment; it was really complete, as near as it could be taken. None of the artillery on the frontier could be safely drawn away. Our situation there was critical; and to take any men away, whilst the Spaniards were increasing their force, would operate to our disadvantage in the minds of the Indians. Mr. S. denied that the expense would be so great as had been laid. Our situation, he said, was neither peace nor war, but a sort of intermediate state, which was far from being safe, and which required them to prepare for war. If gentlemen had not been of this opinion, why increase our naval armament? He thought they contradicted themselves. He charged the gentleman from Maryland with having forgot the representation he had given on a former occasion with respect to the situation of the fortifications at Baltimore, which he then said was not sufficient to keep off the enemy. (Mr. S. Smith said he spoke only of the want of a fence.) This measure had been charged with being an increase of our peace establishment and that the bill being for five years countenanced this idea. He denied that this was the case, and if the period were thought too long, it might be shortened. Gentlemen had also said, that advantage was taken of the impulse of the moment to pass this bill. But by what, he asked, had this impulse been occasioned, but from an idea of the danger of a war? And he thought the fears of the nation ought to be calmed, by taking such measures as the present.
When an increase of the navy was under consideration, Mr. S. said, gentlemen exclaimed, leave trade to take care of itself, and let us attend to the internal defence of the country; but now, when they were preparing for that, the same men say we are about to employ upon this object what ought to be employed for the protection of commerce. Mr. S. said it was an error to say no taxes would be wanted, if this bill did not pass. There would be money in that case wanting for manning the frigates, for arming the revenue cutters, for the diplomatic department, and for the expenses of this session (not less than 60 or 70,000 dollars) would be needed for the last item only for the payment of the agents appointed for arming to carry into effect the 6th article of the British treaty, &c. So that that argument had no weight. It was said these men were unnecessary, because the militia were the proper defence; but the President had not the power to call out the militia, except in cases of insurrection or invasion, so that an enemy might get possession of the posts before the militia were called out.
Mr. S. concluded by saying there were about 40 forts on the sea coast, and that these men distributed among them would only give 14 to each, which would not be sufficient to preserve the guns from rust; and, if this bill passed, there would only be 41 for each fort. He submitted it to the committee, therefore, whether they ought to risk the safety of the country for the sake of 216,000 dollars. He trusted they would not.  Mr. Sheppard opposed the motion. He thought it necessary men should be sent to those forts where there were none, to prevent them from going to ruin. Instead of the number proposed to be raised, he thought two companies would be sufficient. He did not think the country in a safe state, and wished to make it in some degree more so.
Mr. BALDWIN observed, that since the adoption of the federal government, the history of the military establishment had, in his judgment, been the most expensive and unfortunate part of its history. It had commonly been so of all nations. He thought there was every inducement, from the experience of ourselves and others, to make as sparing a use of it as possible. The reasons hitherto assigned for a military establishment, in this country, have been a supposed unfriendly disposition in foreign nations, and of the vast Indian tribes who bordered on our frontiers. These had been for several years the cause of great anxiety and expense; they were all now happily removed by treaties of peace lately established. It was his opinion, that on that event there was little or no cause left for any military establishment at all. He had been one of a committee last year who recommended a reduction of them, particularly a total reduction of the cavalry; this recommendation did not fully prevail, but his opinion was still the same. The reasons now urged for regular troops must be considered principally of a permanent nature, and for a peace establishment; the enlistment now proposed is for five years - he hoped it would not prevail; he hoped the establishment would not be carried to any greater extent at this time. More money and more troops was apt to be an increasing passion, always attending large delegations of power; collect money to raise armies, and raise armies to collect money, has been a wheel of fortune to them, and a wheel of rack to their subjects. He hoped this country would form an exception, and shew that some of the miseries of the world were not the inseparable condition of man. It was the professed object and principle of our revolution; none of its friends can advocate a standing army. The special reasons urged of their being necessary to keep peace with the Indian nations on the frontiers, or for the forts on the sea coast, he thought had not great force; the number or extent of the forts is not to be encreased; in a finished State they would require fewer troops to man them. There had always been a frontier, and large nations of Indians bordering upon it ever since the first settlement of the country; there is therefore nothing new in our situation in that respect, to urge it more than formerly; that there should be some confusion and disorder from that cause, had always appeared unavoidable, but regular troops had not been found by experience to be the most ready or most useful relief. He believed things must go on pretty much as they had, and that establishing the civil government was all that could be done in the case. He thought the fifty companies now in service would be sufficient for all purposes, and that the new regiment now proposed would not be necessary.
Mr. WILLIAMS thought the report which they had received from the war-office, did not go far enough. Besides the artillery, we had four battalions of infantry, which must be somewhere in garrison. He thought the present number of artillery was sufficient, being the same as in 1794, especially since artillery ne-
ther created forts nor kept them in repair. He wished the 122 deficient men to be raised, and sent to Georgia, and places east of New-York. Indeed, it would appear extraordinary, if, after raising 150,000 dollars for fortifications, they should waste, at least 250,000 for men to take care of them. He did not think it would be prudent at present to go into the measure, since he did not believe any danger was now to be apprehended, and as they did not know where the money was to come from. He did not wish to go on increasing the debt, and he saw little chance of raising fresh revenue. We had at present, he said, a greater proportion of artillery, than any other nation; having 16 companies of artillery to 82 of infantry. If more troops were necessary, let such be raised as would be most useful. They had received a bill from the Senate for raising a provisional army, under that came before them, he should give it his vote.
