They bow for freedom to their slender mast, Yet still resist when truth would set them free. Licence they mean, when they cry LIBERTY, For who loves that must first be wise and good. Milton.
IF rational liberty was ever dear, and anarchy horrible and destructive; if the sacred religion and pure morality of our fathers, was ever revered for its divine authority and benign effects; if laws and customs produced by the accumulated experience of ages, have ever been useful to mankind; if domestic comfort and social order were ever enjoyed and duly estimated; if private virtue and public integrity were ever just and honorable; if, in short, all that can render life amiable and desirable, all that can adorn and exalt civilized humanity, have ever been duly appreciated, how great should be the alarm, when danger threatens in every shape, and from every quarter? If ever one period of time was more exigent and momentous than another, it is surely the present; when sedition, in the garb of patriotism, stalks abroad, profusely throwing on every side the seeds of discontent and discord; when faction openly rears his unblushing front; when, like the giant Antaeus, it seems to have recovered fresh strength from having been once beaten to the ground, and now proudly hurls defiance in our teeth: if the present important crisis will not arouse sluggish supineness, and invigorate torpid apathy, we may conclude our fellow citizens to possess little more than vegetable existence, and rank them with those baleful weeds, whose destructive fertility chokes up the useful grain.
This is not poetic fiction, nor empty declamation, the danger of our situation cannot be exaggerated, nor is it necessary to multiply terrors to excite unnecessary alarm, let any one seriously survey the conduct of Jacobins, and say if it is possible for preparation to be too prompt, and caution too keen and vigilant; let him look at the machinations of the faction in Virginia, and some adjoining states; mark their progress, the mode by which they have indefatigably prosecuted their purposes; and tremble at the alarming height at which they have arrived. They have dared, yes, the majority of a single state assembly has openly dared to condemn one of the first of all constitutional functions in a representative government, the passing of laws by a majority; they have censured the chosen executive of the people for carrying those laws into effect; and they have in terms not to be misunderstood, invited the people to resistance, by sophistical reasonings, imposed upon their judgment by artful misrepresentation, affected humility, and the cant of public love, have inflamed their passions and left no means untried to excite rebellion. It is true the minority have expressed their abhorrence and indignation at such proceedings, and in their most excellent and judicious counter-address, by the fairest reasoning, and most powerful argument, given a complete refutation to the creed of sedition. But erroneous principles and moral depravity are seldom eradicated by argument: the experience of the world may convince us, that nothing but coercive measures can curb sedition, and tear up the roots of anarchy. What can a virtuous and enlightened minority do against a partial and interested majority, with a turbulent, blind, licentious populace at their command? What shadow of reason can be given for supposing they will stop here, and what preparation is there now actually organized to oppose them, should they go on? Has any other state formally expressed their disapprobation, and is there any appearance of general indignation discovered in the people? no, it has passed by as the common report of a day, the course of exchange, or the price of flour. To convince would be sufficient, if mankind were generally virtuous; but the mass of men are neither virtuous nor rational, they had rather adopt any opinion, than be at the trouble of thinking for themselves; and as reason has no influence in the choice, the preference is generally given to what accords with their strongest passions and favorite propensities.
This we all know, and every day offers instances; yet if a man fancies he is right himself, he is content to recline on
the idle couch of mere speculative principle, regardless of his neighbor, and taking no pains to practice or propagate, what can only be rendered effectual by energy and activity. "Go to the ant, thou sluggard, and be wise" said Solomon; and the politician may as justly say to the negligent people, go to the manufacturers of treason, and the artificers of rebellion, and learn to be industrious; it is not by their virtue or their argument that they can conquer us, it is by their superior exertions, their energy, unanimity and perseverance; surely then, it is time to wake and shake off the dreams of false security—to use that judgment which truth induces—that courage which a good cause inspires—and that vigilance and exertion which alone can render abortive the intrigues and menaces of our enemies. CORIOLANUS. (to be continued)
LONG ISLAND.
At a respectable meeting of a number of the inhabitants of the eastern part of the township of Huntington, in the county of Suffolk, and state of New-York, held at the house of Amos Willets, in said town, on the third day of January, 1799 for the purpose of taking into consideration the present tumultuous situation of our country, respecting the present administration of government.
Text"> Resolved, That Moses Blachly be chairman of this meeting, and that Daniel Keley be clerk.
Resolved, That all meetings for deliberating on public affairs ought to be convened by public notice; and as a meeting has lately been held in this town for the said purpose without sufficient public notice having been previously given to the inhabitants thereof, therefore,
Resolved, That we do wholly disapprove of the conduct of said meeting, being fully persuaded the sense of the majority of the people was not taken thereby.
Resolved, That we will support the Constitution of the United States, and the present administration thereof, in opposition to that party spirit, which has for a long time, and still continues to disturb the repose and tarnish the characters of our fellow citizens in many parts of the Union.
Resolved, That when any town-past resolutions derogatory to the character of any public officer, we conceive such resolutions to be inflammatory and destructive of our government.
Resolved That Moses Blachly and Amos Willets, be a committee on the part of this meeting, to inculcate the principles contained in the foregoing resolutions, and to transmit our proceedings for publication.
Signed by order of the meeting. MOSES BLACHLY, Chairman. Daniel Keley, Clerk.
Foreign Articles.
From a Paris Paper.
Letter from the Minister of the Marine. On the 4th Complementary Day, Sept. 20, the brig of the Republic, the Anacreon returning from the coasts of Ireland, having on board Napper Tandy, a detachment of light artillery, and several Volunteer officers fell in, off the Orkneys, with a brig and a three masted vessel named the Tom of Lancaster. These vessels, as soon as they perceived the Anacreon bore down to attack her, and an engagement took place, but as the Anacreon had only four pounders to oppose to the twelve and fourteen pounders of the enemy, she would infallibly have been taken or sunk, had not the Officers belonging to the expedition, and a brave detachment of the 2d regiment of light artillery, who were on board, incensed at receiving the enemy's fire without being able to return it, loudly called for leave to board, amidst reiterated acclamation of Vive la Republique. This manœuvre was immediately executed, notwithstanding the volleys of grape-shot discharged by the English, who frightened by the audacity of the French, soon abandoned the deck to take shelter below. Thus these two vessels which fell upon the Anacreon, as certain of making her a prize, were captured in an instant, and forced to strike their flags and surrender, though with a numerous artillery well served, to a handful of brave Republicans. (Signed) SCHERER.
VIENNA, November 28.
The latest advices from Italy mention, that a division of the Russian and Turkish fleets appeared off Corfu and summoned the garrison to surrender; But this being refused and opposition made, they had taken possession of the harbour and the French shipping in it by force, and laid a considerable body of troops, who forced the French to retire to their fortresses at Balley Mezzo, which would be immediately bombarded. The Greek inhabitants received the invaders with open arms. Another division of the above-mentioned fleet blockades Ancona, and the British fleet Civita Vechia and Genoa.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 5.
The Porte has notified the ministers of the allied courts, that Aly pacha, governor of Janina (Thessalia) had taken three Venetian posts in Albany, from the French, and was about attacking the fourth and only one in their possession. He has taken 50 prisoners, among whom are two generals and several other officers.
There is now a French newspaper published at Cairo, entitled Courrier d'Egypte, edited by citizen Marc Aurel.
BRUSSELS, November 29. General Collard, with four columns of his troops, has totally defeated the rebels at Campine, where they had collected to the number of 6000 Altho' they fought bravely they were driven from village to village. They have left 600 dead on the field of battle. Among the prisoners are two of their chiefs, one of whom was a corporal of the Austrian regiment of Ligne. On the 25th, they reassembled at Campine, and are again beaten. In this combat they lost 800 muskets, a great quantity of powder, ammunition and provisions. There are still with each of the rebel columns.

AN ADDRESS Of the SELECT and COMMON COUNCILS to the CITIZENS of PHILADELPHIA.
FELLOW-CITIZENS, PERSUADED that the introduction of a copious supply of wholesome water into the city of Philadelphia, is an object of primary importance to the convenience, welfare and health of its inhabitants; and that it will prove one of the most effectual means of cleansing the streets and sewers from all putrid and noxious matter...
Contemplating a grant of this aid, your Councils have been occupied in deriving information from a variety of sources, and have satisfactory reason to believe in the practicability of a plan, which, if early pursued, promises an abundant supply of water in the course of the present year...
Until the Legislature shall, in its wisdom and humanity, extend some effectual relief to its capital, your Councils believe the most eligible, if not the only practicable mode of procuring the necessary sum, will be by Loan. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars are wanted...
To induce you to advance this Capital, no lucrative speculation, or extraordinary profit, can, with propriety, be held up to your view. You are invited to no risks—Public spirit, and an interest in the future prosperity or decline of your city, must be your incitements.
Your Councils having no interests separate from those of their constituents, can, in what they thus recommend, have no views but such as in their opinion tend to the public good.
It rests with you to say, whether this work shall, or shall not be undertaken. If encouragement be given, by a prompt and liberal subscription, it will be commenced.
Should the present call fail of the desired success, we may, as individual citizens, deplore the unhappy event; but as men, to whom a public trust has been delegated, we shall derive consolation from a conviction of having discharged our duty.
KEARNY WHARTON, President of Common Council. FRANCIS GURNEY, President of the Select Council. Philadelphia, February 7, 1799.
AN ORDINANCE,
Providing for the raising of a Sum of Money on loan for supplying the city of Philadelphia with wholesome water.
WHEREAS the speedy introduction of a copious supply of wholesome water is deemed essential to the health and preservation of this city, and from information communicated to the Select and Common Councils, there appears sufficient reason to believe an adequate supply thereof can be introduced within the compass of the present year...
Sec. 1. Be it therefore ordained and enacted by the Citizens of Philadelphia in Select and Common Councils, assembled, That the whole of the income of the corporate estates or the citizens of Philadelphia, and other adequate and sufficient provision which are within the means and power of the City Corporation, (excepting the ferry and bridge at the west end of High-Street) shall be pledged, and the same are, (together with any aid the Commonwealth may be hereafter induced to grant) hereby pledged for the payment of the interest and for the redemption of the principal of a sum not exceeding, in the whole, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars...
Sec. 2. And be it further ordained and enacted, That Edward Tilghman, Jared Ingersoll, Stephen Girard, Jesse Waln, Levi Hollingsworth, Leonard Jacoby, John Infkeep, Jacob Shoemaker, Joseph Crukshank, William Jones, Jonathan Robinson, and Thomas Haskins, be, and they are hereby appointed commissioners to execute and perform the several duties hereininafter mentioned...
Sec. III. And be it further ordained and enacted, That the payments to be made by the subscribers on each share of the aforesaid capital shall be in manner and time as follows, that is to say, ten dollars to be paid to the commissioners at the time of subscription and the residue to the Treasurer of the city to wit, thirty dollars at the expiration of two months from the time of subscription; thirty dollars at the expiration of four months from the time of subscription; and thirty dollars at the expiration of six months from the time of subscription.
Sec. IV. And be it further ordained and enacted, That so soon as a copious supply of water shall be introduced into the streets of the city, and be ready for distribution under such general and equal regulations as fitting to the occasion may hereafter be established, it shall at the conduits emptying into the streets be for the free use of all persons, and every subscriber to the said capital shall be entitled in the first instance to a preference of supply to one dwelling house for each share so subscribed to be taken from the street pipes or conduits subject to the general regulation aforesaid, and shall enjoy the use and convenience of said supply for the full term of three years free of any charge of water rent.
Sec. V. And be it further ordained and enacted, That all rents or other emoluments which may arise from the use and application of said water shall in the first instance be applied for defraying the expenses of superintendence and of repairs and improvements of necessary works for the better accommodation and supply of the city with water; in the second instance to the redemption of the aforesaid capital stock, and thereafter for any further improvements to the city of Philadelphia, or in aid and alleviation of taxes on its inhabitants.
Sec. VI. And be it further ordained and enacted, That on the receipt and payment of all monies which shall arise on the subscriptions to the capital stock as aforesaid the treasurer of this city shall be entitled to a commission at the rate of fifty cents for every hundred dollars so received and paid, and no more.
Enacted into an ordinance at Philadelphia on this seventh day of February (L.S.C.) in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine. KEARNY WHARTON, President of the Common Council. FRANCIS GURNEY, President of the Select Council.
MU. FENNO, Being one of the citizens of the United States, and consequently one, to whom a manifesto of the extraordinary envoy, George Logan, is addressed.—Being also one of those benighted mortals, whom the Aurora (select vehicle of the communication) never "rises to irradiate" this favor of the Doctor's, by the diffusion of another press, has but just come to hand. Living also at a considerable distance from the metropolis, beyond woods and forests, through which the name of Stenton, has but now, for the first time penetrated, it might be extremely difficult to convey my answer, to what I take to be the humble retreat of this retired, unobtrusive citizen.
His justification then, against what he calls the slander of persons high in office, is founded on two positions. First, That a state of war is inevitably attended with so many calamities, that an enlightened nation will seek every honorable means to avoid it. And, secondly, That our situation with respect to France is peculiarly delicate, having received from that nation, the most essential services, during our arduous struggle against the wanton injuries and oppressions of the British government.
But how can the first position excuse the conduct of George Logan, unless we are to substitute him for a nation. "An enlightened nation will always seek all honorable means of avoiding a war," but does it thence follow, that every enlightened member of the nation is to assume the conduct of its concerns? And admitting, as to the second position, the peculiar delicacy of our situation with respect to France—May it not with propriety be asked, what is here meant by the word France? If to France, we annex a mere geographic idea of a certain tract of country, a portion of the globe, I cannot admit that we are under any obligation to it. And if by it or the word nation, we intend those who have consigned to eternal sleep the persons who really conferred the essential services alluded to, still less can I allow their implied claim to our gratitude. The terms of France and the nation, as to certain purposes, are sufficiently accurate and appropriate. Like corporations or bodies politic, which in contemplation of law, never die, they have perpetual succession, and may be competent to the demand of a pecuniary obligation, the exaction of a tribute, or other matter of negotiation; but on a question of gratitude, we have nothing to do with inanimate substances or mere political existences, and are not thus, I trust, to be swindled out of our moral ideas.
Under these impressions, however, the good doctor sets out upon his travels. At Hamburg he meets with general La Fayette, who views, as he informs us, with particular anxiety, the existing difficulties between the two republics. This is very probable, as it also is, that citizen Merlin (as citizen Logan gravely assures us) said, that France had not the least intention to interfere with the public affairs of the United States. Citizen Genet said the same, and so did citizens Fauchet and Adet. But though we are told of La Fayette's anxiety on account of the existing difficulties between the two republics, we are not let into his opinion, as to the best means of removing them, or whether the great nation were more likely to be appeased by three legitimate envoys, or by a solitary, self-constituted functionary. So that to the single circumstance, of the general's facilitating the doctor's journey to Paris, we are indebted for the agreeable episode of their meeting; and considering the inestimable importance of this journey, what critic or patriot will say, that it is not what Horace calls a "dignus vindice nodus," or an occasion well worthy the appearance of the general!
As to the doctor's conversations with the citizens of France, and the strangers whom he met in Paris, and the great respect he at all times expressed for his country, I have nothing to object. What less could be expected from a patriot, who journeyed at his own expence, of his own spontaneous motion, to do for his country, what the whole weight and united wisdom of its public councils had failed to accomplish! Whether the favorable circumstances which occurred whilst the doctor was at Paris, such as the removal of the embargo, the release and kind treatment of our seamen, are to be ascribed to a veneration for his transcendent civism, or to the spirited tone of our government; or whether the directory, like Falstaff, are only moved to justice by entreaty and not by compulsion, I am content shall remain secrets of state and subjects of future discussion.
One problem, however, I beg leave to suggest for the consideration of the Spontaneous envoy, enlightened statesman and legislator. And that is, Whether a state of war is so extremely calamitous, that no possible case can be conceived, wherein the policy of engaging in it, may be justified; or, whether this extreme repugnance is only restricted to the case of two republics?
Upon the whole, with respect to this distinguished personage, who has already made so much noise in the world, and whose philanthropic embassy will doubtless descend with increasing lustre to posterity, I conclude in the words of the king of Prussia on Voltaire, "That George Logan would be an extraordinary man, and that an extraordinary man he certainly is."
A REMOTE SUBSCRIBER. January 28.
CONGRESS,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
FRIDAY, February 8.
Mr. Gregg moved that the petition of Robert Sturgeon, late a collector of the revenue of the United States, imprisoned in the goal of Lewis County in this state, for debt due to the United States, heretofore presented, be referred to a select committee. Mr. G. stated, the difficulties which this officer had under-gone in the performance of his duty; that a part of the money which he had collected had been paid to the United States, and the rest expended in the performance of his duty. He also stated him as suffering considerably from his confinement, from being allowed only bread and water for his support.—Referred.
Mr. Nicholas presented a petition from the inhabitants of Staunton, in Virginia, praying for a post-office at Woodstock.—Referred.
Mr. S. Smith, from the committee of commerce reported the bill to establish the compensation of officers employed in collecting the duties on imports and tonnage, and for other purposes, which was committed.
On motion of Mr. Ovis, a petition from the weighers of Boston; and on that of Mr. Livingston, one of the same nature from New-York, was referred to the same committee.
Mr. D. Folter, from the committee of claims, made an unfavourable report on the petition of Seth Harding an officer in the late war, which was concurred in.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill for the augmentation of the navy, and fixing the pay of the captains of ships or vessels of war, when Mr. Gallatin's motion for striking out what relates to 74 gun ships being resumed, after some observations from Mr. Josiah Parker & Mr. Harper against it, and from Mr. Nicholas in favour of it, the question was put and negatived 50 to 40.
Mr. J. Williams then moved to strike out what relates to 18 gun vessels, on the ground that the 39 small vessels which we have are sufficient. The motion was negatived without a division.
Mr. J. Parker proposed filling up the blanks in the section fixing the pay of captains in the Navy, with an advance from 75 dollars to 100 dollars a month; to Captains of 74's, and others in proportion; except the masters of vessels under 20 guns, which were proposed to be lowered.
Some objection, however, being made to this, and particularly to the mode of doing the business, this being the first time that the subject had been before the house, the section was moved to be struck out, and carried.
The committee then rose, and the house having concurred in the amendment reported.
Mr. Nicholas renewed the motion for striking out the 74 gun ships, and called the Yeas and Nays upon it. They were taken as follows:

Smith, Spriggs, Stanfard, Sumner, A. Trigg, J. Trigg, VanCortlandt, Varnum, Venable, R. Williams.
On motion of Mr. J. Parker, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, on the two following bills, which were reported without debate or amendment. The bill authorizing the establishment of Doeks; and The bill authorizing the purchase of Timber for Naval purposes. They were severally ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow.
Mr. Hartley said, that since presenting the petition which he had laid before the house from York County, praying for a repeal of certain laws, he had been written to on the subject, he gave notice, therefore, that he should call up the petition for consideration on Monday.
The Speaker saying it would be necessary to make it the order for that day, Mr. Hartley made that motion, which was carried. Adjourned to this day.

POSTSCRIPT.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, Nov. 26. "I have a letter from Genoa, Nov. 26. giving an account that a squadron of a part of the line, British, had burnt every one of the transports which had conducted Buonaparte's army to Egypt, at anchor in the old and new ports of Alexandria, on the 30th September last. Hostilities are again commenced between the Austrians and the French in the country of the Grisons. The King of Naples is on the actual march to his frontiers 120,000 men. We may expect to hear very shortly the island of Malta being in possession of its inhabitants, as the French garrison in two or three fortresses have been very unsuccessful, the greater part having fallen victims to the revenge of the Maltese."
[The respectability of the gentleman who writes this letter, the uniform correctness of his former intelligence, the lateness of the dates, and the comparative vicinity of Genoa to the theatre of action, induce us to place much faith in the account.]
Extract of a letter from the Consul of the United States at Gibraltar, dated November 19, 1798. "We learn that several French privateers have been laid up at Malaga; as four have been lately captured by the Algerines. We have not heard of any formal declaration from the Regency; but as the Grand Seignor or his declared war against France, I suppose they look upon it to be sufficient for them to capture."
"The Expedition that failed from hence, has taken possession of the Island of Minorca, without opposition except Citadella (the citadel) which it was expected would also soon capitulate."
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated 4th December, 1798.
"A cutter arrived here last night from Gibraltar with the important intelligence of the surrender of Malta, where the English have taken the Guillaume Tell, Diane, and Justice, which had escaped admiral Nelson off the Nile. Buonaparte's army is said to be reduced to 5,000 men by disease; and the port of Alexandria is blockaded up by the Russian and Turkish fleets. The king of Naples is said to have marched 100,000 men into the Roman Republic."

WHEREAS, By an Act of Congress passed the sixteenth day of July in the year of our Lord one thou- sand seven hundred and ninety eight, the Presi- dent of the United States is authorized to borrow on behalf of the United States from the Bank of the United States, or from any other body or bodies politic or corporate, or from any person or persons, and upon such terms and conditions as he shall judge most advan- tageous for the United States, a sum not exceeding five millions of dollars, for however that no contract or engagement be made which shall preclude the United States from reimburse- ing any sum or sums borrowed at any time after the expiration of fifteen years from the date of such loan. And whereas, it is declared by the said Act, that so much as may be necessary of the surplus of the duties on imports and Ton- nage beyond the permanent appropriation here- tofore charged upon them by law, shall bepledg- ed and appropriated for paying the interest, and also for paying and discharging the principal sum or sums of all the monies which may be borrowed, according to the term or terms which may be fixed, pursuant to the authority afore- said—And whereas by the said Act, the faith of the United States is pledged to establish sufficient permanent Revenues for making up any deficiency that may hereafter appear in the provisions before-mentioned for paying the interest and principal sums, or either of them, of any monies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said Act. And whereas the President of the United States did by an Act or Commission under his hand dated the ninth day of January in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine, au- thorize and empower, the Secretary of the Treas- ury, to borrow on behalf of the United States, any sum not exceeding in the whole, five mil- lions of dollars and to make such contract, or contracts as should be necessary, and for the in- terest of the United States, in pursuance of the Act of Congress above recited.
Now therefore, the undersigned, Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of the Act of Congress, and the authority from the President of the United States, above mentioned, doth hereby on behalf of the United States of Amer- ica, contract and engage in manner following, to wit: 1st. A book for receiving subscriptions to a Loan of five millions of dollars for the use of the United States shall be opened in the city of Philadelphia, at the Bank of the United States on Thursday the twenty eighth day of February ensuing, which book shall continue open for the purpose of receiving subscriptions, until the whole of the said five millions of dollars shall be subscribed. It more than five millions of dollars shall be subscribed on the first day of opening the said loan, the surplus shall be de- clined in proportion to the sums subscribed by individuals, exceeding four thousand dollars. 2d. For every hundred dollars which may be subscribed there shall be forthwith deposited and paid the sum of twelve dollars and fifty cents, and like payments of twelve dollars and fifty cents, shall be made within the first ten days of the months of April, May, June, July, August September and October ensuing. The Secre- tary of the Treasury however reserves the right of reducing the number of installments by spe- cial agreements, with the individuals who may become subscribers. 3d. On the failure of payment of any install- ment of the sums subscribed according to the tenor of the second article, the next preceding installment of twelve dollars and fifty cents, which shall have been paid, for every hundred dollars subscribed shall be forfeited to the Unit- ed States. 4th. The sums subscribed shall and may be paid to the credit of the United States, at the Bank of the United States, or at the offices of discount and deposit of the said Bank at Boston, New-York, Baltimore, or Charleston, or at ei- ther of the Banks of Salem, in Massachusetts, Newport and Providence in Rhode-Island, Hart- ford in Connecticut, Albany in New-York, or Alexandria in Virginia, for which payments, the receipts of the Cashiers of the Offices of Dis- count and Deposit and of the Banks aforesaid shall be received at the Bank of the United States as equivalent to money; but no payment of a subsequent installment shall be received at any other place than that where the first installment was paid, except at the Bank of the United States; in case any deposits shall be made at the offices of Discount or Deposit, or at either of the Banks aforesaid, which shall not be applied to the payment of the first installment of subscrip- tions to the Loan aforesaid, the said deposits shall be forthwith refunded by directions from the Treasury. 5th. For the sums or number of shares of one hundred dollars, which may be subscribed, cer- tificates shall be given by the Cashier of the Bank of the United States, which shall be assignable by indorsement, and delivery of the parties in whose favour the said certificates may be issued, until the completion of the payments required by the tenor of the second article preceding. 6th. The sums subscribed and paid in pursu- ance of the tenor of the second article preced- ing, shall after the said payments have been completed, constitute a funded capital stock divisible into shares of one hundred dollars each, which capital stock shall bear interest at the rate of eight per centum per annum from the times fixed for the payment of the respective install- ments payable quarterly yearly at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the same may stand credited, until the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eight. 7th. After the last day of December in the said year one thousand eight hundred and eight, and after reasonable notice to the creditors, which shall be given by an advertisement in some public news- paper, printed at the seat of the government of the United States, the said capital stock shall be re- deemable at the pleasure of the United States by the reimbursement of the whole sum or sums borrowed, and which may constitute the said capi- tal stock either at the treasury of the United States or at the loan offices where the same may stand credited. 8th. The credits for the said capital stock shall and may be separately certified in sums either for one hundred, four hundred, one thousand, four thousand or ten thousand dollars, and the credits so certified shall be transferable by the creditors, or their attorneys, at the Treasury and Loan Offices respectively, in pursuance of the rules which have been, or which may be established relative to the transfer of the funded stock of the United States. 9th. A sufficient sum of the surplus of the duties on imports and Tonnage beyond the permanent appropriations heretofore charged upon them by law, together with the faith of the United States are hereby pledged for the fulfilment of this con- tract, in pursuance of, and according to the terms and conditions of the act of Congress herein be- fore recited.
