That in obedience to recent instructions received from his government, it is the duty of all Masters of Swedish and Danish vessels, before their sailing from any port in the said States, to call upon him or the Vice Consul, in order to be granted such Certificates for their Cargoes, which the exigency of the state of the Neutral Commerce and the several Decrees of the Belligerent Powers, render indispensably necessary, and that any Master or Masters of vessels belonging to the respective nations, or navigating under the protection of their flags, in omitting to take such certificates, will personally stand responsible for the consequences.

LONDON February 5.
The Wig Club met yesterday. The majority was in the chair. Mr. Fox observed, he continued of opinion that retirement was the wisest course he could pursue. His experience in the House of Commons the day before in debate on Buonaparte's overtures had confirmed him. All his efforts had only obtained three votes in addition to those who usually concurred with him. "No one doubts," said he, "if the minister had adopted an opposite conduct, and had opened a negotiation with Buonaparte, the House of Commons would have given an unanimous vote in his favor. All control over ministers is gone, and nothing remains but to obey them. Whether they desire war or peace, Parliament blindly adopts their opinions and all efforts to resist them must be ineffectual." He believed public opinion was with him, said he should always feel for his country and whenever there was a chance of his doing any good he should readily come forward.
The Duke of Norfolk congratulated the members, that the livery of London, in spite of the efforts of the ministry, had chosen the man of their own hearts as their mayor.
Mr. Erskine said the only part of the nation not tarnished by the war was the navy; that he was an old sailor, and when he went to the House of Commons the last night with Mr. Fox, he said to himself, like old Jack, "I'll go any where with my friend." Mr. Sheridan said he did not yet despond like Mr. Fox; and for this reason had attended more to Parliament.
Mr. Sheridan wished the whole kingdom could have heard the excellent argument of his honorable friend (Mr. Fox) on Monday night, as it must have convinced every impartial man, and he could not deny that he had just reason for disgust, in finding it could only persuade three members of the House of Commons. He wished the public had heard that argument, which, with so much truth, had stated this to be a new era in the war. Mr. Sheridan would not be discouraged by the disparity of numbers in the House of Commons, if such a speech as that of his honorable friend could be heard by the nation at large. The public would then enforce his arguments. Mr. Sheridan did not wish to despair of the spirit and principles of the country, and quoted the conduct of the city of London, in electing their present chief magistrate in justification of his hopes. The public attention should be drawn to the new war, in which the people were to spend their blood and treasure to restore the Bourbons, and support their sacred and inalienable rights. What would be the fairness of the man whose memory the Society commemorates (William III.) if he could look down and see us fighting for the indefeasible rights of the Bourbons? To that family which we now fight to restore, we are obliged for our national debt. By reference to them, we may divide that debt into two parts; the first half was contracted to destroy the Bourbons; the second half has been contracted to restore them.
The crowd to get into the gallery of the Commons to hear the late debate on the subject of peace was unprecedentedly great. The people assembled at day light and continued till the doors were opened. The gallery would not contain one sixth part of the candidates for seats. Many persons were injured in the crowd.
Mr. Fox, in his speech on the late overtures for peace, took occasion to speak in the most handsome terms of the deceased General Washington.
Government has revoked the Quarantine order respecting vessels from New York and Philadelphia.
The price of bread continues to rise. The County of Down, has petitioned the Irish Parliament against a Union. The Roman Catholics all over the Island are active on the same side.
The Brazilian sloop of war, has been wrecked and every person on board, except one, perished. The crew was composed of seamen drafted from ships which had been paid off, and had about 5000l. with them.
Letters from Petersburg and Gracow state that 6000 Russians are on their march to join Suwarow.
The Batavian Government, it is said, has stationed cruisers at the mouths of her harbours to prevent vessels departing for England with grain.
Barthelemy arrived at Paris Feb. 1, and next day waited on the Consuls, &c.
The Helvetic Constitution is confirmed to the new French.
The French Journals say that a quarrel has taken place between Mr. Wyndham the British Minister, and the Commander of the Austrian troops near Tuscany. The cause, the disbunding of armed peasants which Mr. W. opposed.
Gen. Mack is to have a command on the Rhine. Suwarow is to be commander in chief of the Grand Armies of Germany.
Advices from India inform that the British expedition against Manila, which was given up on the war with Tippoo, will now be resumed.
It is said Mr. Pitt, has a financial project in view, which is grounded on the new territorial acquisitions in India.
Arrangements for an expedition to Britanny are nearly matured. Sir R. Abercrombie is to command the Russian troops, which were in Holland, and a reinforcement are to be employed.
Paris papers of Feb. 6, contain a letter from Gen. Brune, announcing that Gen. Harty had defeated the Chouans near Grandchamp; and that Georges suffered much. Private letters say that the Royalists were superior to Harty's troops, and that the latter was exposed. An action is reported between Brune and the Chouan Chief Georges; but no particulars are mentioned.
The Austrian General Klenau has been obliged to give up certain advantages he recently gained in Italy; reinforcements not arriving seasonably; and the French being superior in numbers.
The army of Italy has made an attempt at Novi, which was not attended with success. Massena has taken the command of that army. All the positions of it are to be changed. The General is at Genoa.
The French still occupy the Riviera of the Levant, Port Maurier, Gattorna, the district of La Pierre, Loane and La Pietra, Final, and Savona. The space between Final and Genoa is likewise occupied by a strong cordon of French troops.
A letter from Turin relates that a young soldier, who was about to be punished for insubordination said, he was the son of Louis XVI, and had escaped through the favour of his Governor, Simon. He has much the appearance of the Bourbons, but has confessed, that he told this story to avoid punishment, being son of a watchmaker at Paris: he, however, again told the story, and has, in consequence, been arrested.
A measure is in contemplation to raise two hundred millions by civic gifts. All those persons who have robbed the republic, or gained money by dishonest manoeuvres are to contribute half the money to acquire, and pain of being considered as dilapidators, and denounced before the military commissioners.
The Turkish ambassador, confined by the late Directory, having been released, has had conferences with the minister of Foreign Affairs, and dined with Buonaparte, who is the most active to bring about a peace with the Porte.
The treaty of defensive alliance signed between England and the Porte is the same as that between the latter and Russia, except that the Porte promises to continue the war against France, even after the delivery of Egypt.
Mamain, so celebrated for the horrible assassination of the Princess Lamballe, has just been arrested. We are ignorant of the motives of this new arrest. (La Clef du Cabinet.)

The French government lately applied to the Prussian, requesting that for the future Prussian Consuls in France might be denominated Commissaries. The Prussians agreed to alter the term to agents of Commerce.
Sundry inhabitants of the County of Longford, have petitioned the Irish Parliament against the Union.
Some commotions have occurred in Sweden on account of the high price of bread; which were suppressed by the military. The distillation of brandy is prohibited.
It is said General Maitland has returned from his mission to ascertain the state of the Royalists forces in the Provinces of France, and that he confirms the statement of the success of the republican gen. Brune; and generally that the condition of those Royalists was unpromising.
It is said Dumourier is at Petersburg; and is to have a command on the Rhine.
The Channel fleet of 22 sail of the line, has failed, under the command of Admiral Gardner.
The north of Ireland is in such a state, that a military escort is thought necessary to the safe travelling of persons of eminence. The Pallas, French frigate, of 44 guns, has been taken by the Loire, English, in company with two sloops, which first engaged her. She was from St. Maloes for Brest, with stores and seamen for the fleet. This is the first time of her being at sea. She had 50 killed and 20 wounded. The loss of the Loire was inconsiderable.
The parliament of Ireland have decided in favor of the Union, 158 to 116—absent 21 members only. The presence of the military alone prevented the Dublin populace from committing excesses.
A meeting of the Livery of London was to be held about the nineteenth of February, to consider of a petition for peace. Queen's County in Ireland has petitioned against an union; and twelve persons, burgesses of Belfast have petitioned in favour of an union. The county of Tipperary has petitioned against an union. The Pallas, French frigate, captured, was bound to the West Indies, and not to Brest; and failed in company with two corvettes and three store ships. In many parts of England, in consequence of the high price of provisions, mobs have assembled, seized such as they could find or
obtained by force, and sold them in the market at the old prices. Boissy d'Anglas, has arrived at Paris.

February 8.
In consequence of violence offered to the members of parliament, who are in favour of an union, a troop of horse has been stationed in the citizens by the parliament house; and a party of Cavalry has also been stationed in Sackville street. The anti-union members, it is thought, will make this matter the subject of a motion.
No theatre was ever more crowded than the house of commons last night. The house rose about one o'clock this day. The avenues were filled by the populace. Mr. Martin's coach was broken to pieces by them, and he narrowly escaped. Other union members were assailed. A military body was called forth, and major Swan discharged a pistol among the people; but was afterwards obliged to flee.
Varney Darby, Esq. and major Rogers, are ordered to the bar of the commons to answer for an interference with military force to prevent the people of Bar from holding a meeting to consider of the union.
To many other respectful tributes of applause of the life, talents and virtues of our Washington; it is with pleasure we add the following, the pathetic eulogium of one of the French Legislators. [Bon. om. Gav.]
LEGISLATIVE BODY.
13 Pluviose, January 2.
In speaking of General Washington, Felix Faulcon said,
This is not the moment to retrace in this hall all that that great man has done for the freedom of America; the number and importance of his warlike exploits; the generous inspiration with which he animated the French who fought under him; and the sublime act by which he did eternal honour to his memory, when, after having contributed so much to give freedom to his country, he laid down voluntarily the supreme power to hide his glory in the obscurity of private life.
Malice and mean jealousy have attempted to spread a deadly venom over so great a life; but their perfidious insinuations are lost in the universal suffrages of his grateful fellow-patriots, and of all the free men in the universe.
Yet he is no more, the hero whose eulogium affords pleasure to great minds; who has doubly merited the civic palm, both as a warrior and as a citizen; who combined every virtue with every talent; who, after having begun and supported the revolution by his abilities, his valour and virtue, knew how to terminate it by the moderation as well as the wisdom of his counsels; who has done more yet than render his countrymen free, who has rendered them happy.
Oh Legislators! feel you not your souls swell at these illustrious recollections, which, by a privilege worthy to be envied, are connected with nothing to be regretted, and create none but sweet and elevated emotions! Do you not desire that this tribune, where we are forbidden to mix our voices in legislative discussions, should at least serve to show the impression of our gratitude, of our veneration, of our unanimous sorrow? Do you not feel the necessity of joining our portion of funeral praise to that which all free people will address to the manes of the magnanimous Washington; and we owe him still more particularly, we among whom, the electric example of the American Revolution fowed the first seeds of the desire of independence? He moved, that the President should on the 28th Primaire (the anniversary of the day of the General's death) make a speech in honor of the hero whose loss every one deplores.

COMMUNICATION.
The Theatre of Philadelphia has lately received a valuable acquisition in the person of Mr. Cooper—a performer whose talents, although in their infancy, eclipse the most admired and veteran performers of the English drama.
Circuit Court of the United States.
On Saturday last Thomas Cooper, who was indicted for a libel against the President of the United States, was tried in this court and found guilty.
The indictment was founded on a publication signed by Mr. Cooper, which appeared in Hand-Bills, printed in Northumberland county, in this State.
1st. That the President did not possess sufficient capacity to fulfill the duties of his office.
2d. That he had created a permanent navy.
3d. That a standing army had been created under his immediate auspices—and
4th. That he had interfered in the judiciary of the United States, and caused Jonathan Robbins to be delivered over, for execution, to an unrelenting military tribunal.
Mr. Rawle opened the case by animadverting on the above selected passages, and called Mr. Buyers, a justice of the peace of the county, to prove Mr. Cooper the author—who said, that Mr. C. had called at his house with the paper—said that was his name, (pointing to it in the paper) and that he was the author of the piece.
The indictment having been founded on the law commonly called the sedition act, nothing now remained but for Mr. Cooper to give the truth in evidence. Having failed in his attempt to procure official documents of the President's answers to the numerous addresses from the citizens of the United States, Mr. Cooper proceeded to read from a book containing them, certain passages in substantiation of the truth of the charges alleged against him—but this was declared by the court not to be legal evidence.
Having failed in every attempt to procure evidence on which to ground a defence, Mr. C. concluded, and Mr. Rawle addressed the jury in reply. Judge Chase then summed the evidence, and the jury in a few minutes returned their verdict GUILTY.
We understand that the Court have appointed next Wednesday to hear any thing Mr. Cooper may have to offer in extenuation; after which the Court will pass judgment.
The Circuit Court of the United States commenced its session in New-Haven, Conn. last Monday. Mr. Holt, Editor of the New-London Bee, we understand was to have his trial yesterday.
About two o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in the binacle of the ship Hope, lying at anchor opposite Walnut Street wharf, but was extinguished without much damage to the ship; except cutting away her mizen-mast.
NORFOLK, April 12.
Arrived in Hampton Roads on Wednesday evening, the brig George, Fernal, 13 days from the Bay of Honduras, informs, that the brig Eliza Wright, Richardson, belonging to this port, is lost in Belle river; part of the fails and rigging saved.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Pearle, capt. Evelith, 12 days from St. Thomas's. Sailed under convoy of the U. S. brig Richmond, in company with 7 lat bound to the northward. April 2d in lat. 22, long. 65, spoke the U. S. ship Baltimore, all well returning to her station.
By this arrival we have also received information that the United States brig Pickering captain Hillar, had, under lee of Guadalupe fallen in with two French privateers, (one of ten guns and the other of four guns) which he engaged for four hours. The result of the business was that he had captured the 10 gun privateer and had driven the smaller one on shore and destroyed her; we are also informed, that in that heroic action captain Hillar had fallen a victim.
The same arrival has brought information that the French frigate Vengeance, (whom the gallant Truxton engaged, and obliged to put into Curraoa) had been condemned as unfit for sea; the greater part of her crew had arrived at St. Thomas's before the Pearl failed.
SAVANNAH, April 10.
A gentleman from St. Mary's, has favored us with the following interesting information, respecting the noted adventurer gen. Wm. A. Bowles.
A party of Spanish troops, in number about 200, from West Florida, completely surprised gen. Bowles in his camp, on the Spanish Territory, near the confluence of Chatahoochee and Flint rivers, about a month past. So complete was the surprise, that the general made his escape in true Indian style—in his shirt only! His secretary and his aid-de-camp are both made prisoners with all Bowles's baggage and papers.
The anniversary oration of the Philadelphia Chemical Society will be delivered tomorrow at 12 o'clock in the laboratory in Fifth-Street.
JAMES TONGUE Sec'y.

Ship Lavinia, Vicary from hence to Leghorn has put into Plymouth, (Eng.) Arrived, brig Two Sisters, Watson, from Havana. Capt. W. informs, that he sailed from thence the 8th inst. and that a few days previous to his departure, the United States sloop of war Gansevoort, Capt. Mullowney, arrived there from Carthagena, having on board the governor of Carthagena and his suite.
It appears that the damages which the Gansevoort sustained in a gale of wind, induced capt. M. to put into the Havana; and capt. Watson supposed that it will be possible for her to leave that place in 10 or 12 days. Among the American vessels which remained at the Havana, were the following, viz.

FOR SALE, A VALUABLE TRACT OF LAND, LYING on the Potomac River, county of Nor- thumberland, State of Virginia, containing about 400 acres—its situation is equal to any other in the Northern Neck, remarkable for every kind of wild fowl, oysters, fish and crab, and none bet- ter for health. It is about the same distance from Baltimore, Alexandria and Norfolk, and not more than one day's sail from either. There are three improved plantations with dwelling houses, the one known by the name of Exeter Lodge, former- ly the residence of Col. John Gordon, is an elegant two story brick house, with four rooms on a floor, and a passage fifteen feet wide. The other two are commodious and convenient- ly fitted, with good and durable out houses, at one of which John Murphy, Esq. (now of Westmore- land county) lived several years; on this farm there is a good grist-mill, with water sufficient to turn any number of stones; also convenient store hou- ses and granaries on a public road, well situated for a country store. Of each of these places there are fine apple and peach orchards. The greater proportion of the land is of the first quality, and near the half of the whole heavily timbered. The terms may be known by applying to Wm. P. Tebb, Baltimore, Postoffice G. Tebb, Esq. of Richmond county, Virginia, or to Thomas Murgatroyd and Sons, Philadelphia. Feb. 5—14. 31aw
TERMS Of Richard Farnwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, From the commencement Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Pri- vate Papers of that Body, now first per- mitted to be made public.
TERMS. THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 300 pages nearly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, as ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars, 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print man- more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Govern- ment.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the com- encement of their governments, are lost in dark- ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public re- cords, and the attention of the nation in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenti- cated public records, and renders them almost in- estimable. It is hoped, that America will, there- fore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in trans- mitting to posterity the labors of their ancestors —founders of the Columbian nation.
"The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798.

"The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, "Respectfully represents, "That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con- gress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Farnwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance from ma- ny individuals; but that he has delayed prosecu- ting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. "We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase co- pies of that record for themselves.

Territory of the United States, North West of the river Ohio. For the information of non-residents, proprietors of lands, situate and lying within said territory. By a law passed in the general assembly of said territory, on the 19th of December, A. D. 1799, entitled "An Act levying a Territorial Tax on Land," all lands lying within said territory, the property of individuals, non-residents, as well as residents, are subjected to taxation to de- fray territorial expenses.
EXTRACTS FROM SAID LAW. Published by Authority. Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That there shall be paid within this territory, the following taxes, for every hundred acres of land, and so in proportion for a greater or smaller quantity: the land shall be divided into three classes, according to the quality, that is to say, first, second and third rate— the first rate shall be taxed, at eighty-five cents, second rate at sixty cents and the 3d rate at twenty-five cents, per hundred acres, which said taxes shall be paid annually in the manner described by this act; and the following rule shall be observed in rating any tract of land, to wit—when a greater part of a tract shall be superior in point of quality to second rate land, it shall be den- ominated first rate; when a greater part of a tract shall be inferior to first rate and su- perior to third rate in point of quality, it shall be denominated second rate; and when the greater part of a tract of land shall be inferior to second rate, it shall be denomi- nated third rate land—taking into view the surface of the earth as well as the quality of the soil. Provided always, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to sub- ject to taxation, any lands lying within the limits of the contract made by John Cleeys Symmes and his associates, with the board of treasury, and without the boundaries of their patent, until the same shall have been granted by the United States: And provi- ded also, That the unimproved lands in the Vincennes and Illinois country, shall not be listed at higher than second rate.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That the territory shall have a perpetual lien on every tract of land add every part thereof, for the amount of all taxes, and 10 per cen- tum interest thereon, from the first day of September, and an alienation of lands be- longing to any person, or neglect in enter- ing or listing the same, shall effect the claim or lien of this territory, until the taxes and interest thereof due from such person, are paid. Sec. 11. And be it further enacted, That the territorial auditor and the clerk of the peace of each county respectively, shall keep a book for the purpose of entering lands of non residents in manner and form hereinaf- ter directed. All non residents shall enter their lands with the auditor, or with the clerk of the peace of the country in which the land lies, on or before the first day of July, who shall administer an oath to the person delivering such list, or by any other means procure satisfactory information for the purpose of ascertaining the quality of such land, placing it in its proper class, un- der the name of the county in which it lies; and every non resident shall enter his or her land, agreeably to the rules and regulation of this act, as in case of residents. All taxes on lands, listed by the commissioner, and returned to the clerk as aforesaid, shall be paid, with interest thereon, to the sheriff or collector, as the case may be. And the taxes on all lands, listed by the audi- tor (or by the clerks of the peace and cer- tified to the auditor) with the interest that may be due thereon, shall be paid to the territorial treasurer or to the sheriff or col- lector of the proper county, but the treas- urer shall not receive from the non resident, any taxes, unless such non resident pay the same before the first day of August, annu- ally, nor until such non resident shall pro- duce to him, a certificate from the auditor or the clerk of the peace respectively, of the quality of the land, for which he or she is about to pay the tax, with the amount due thereon, which certificate shall be, by the treasurer, filed in his office. The auditor of the territory and the clerk of the peace of the several counties respectively, shall keep books of transfers; and every non resident, who has entered his or her lands, in manner aforesaid, may, on the transferring the same or any part thereof to any other per- son or persons, have the alteration made with the auditor or clerk of the peace re- spectively, and charged to the person or per- sons to whom transferred, and such person shall be chargeable with the tax of such land or lands hereafter; and each person having the alteration made, shall pay to the auditor or clerk of the peace respectively, twenty- five cents, to his own use. And it shall be the further duty of the auditor, in the month of August, yearly and every year, to trans- mit to the clerks of the peace of the several counties respectively, a certified extract of all lands entered in his office, or alterations therein made in the preceding year, noting thereon the tracts of land on which the tax- es have been paid into the territorial treas- ury. Provided always, That it shall be the duty of the several clerks of the peace, upon receiving from the auditor, a list of the non residents' lands entered in his office, to make diligent search and enquiry of the non resi- dents' lands lying in each of their respective counties; and after comparing the said au- ditorial list with the list of non residents' lands entered in his office, shall proceed to list all the residue of the lands belonging to non-residents not before listed, noting the quantity and quality of the several tracts of land, so by him discovered and not before entered, and such as he cannot with certainty
ascertain the quality of, he shall enter as second rate; and shall make out and trans- mit one copy to the territorial auditor, and a second copy of such list the clerk shall de- liver to the sheriff or collector of the pro- per county, to govern him in collecting the taxes due thereon, as in other cases of non residents' lands. Sec. 13. And be it further enacted, That the sheriff or collector shall be authorized to sell so much of each tract of land charged with taxes, as will discharge the amount thereof, with costs: Provided goods and chattels cannot be found thereon to the amount. And the sheriff or collector in that case, shall advertise the time and place of sale one month, at the door of the court- house, and also, at four other public places in his county; and if the person claiming the land does not pay the amount on or be- fore the expiration of the time, the sheriff or collector shall proceed to sell; after such sale, the sheriff or collector shall deliver to the purchaser a certificate of the quan- tity of land sold, describing therein the tract that was charged with the tax, and the end or side from which the quantity sold was taken, which shall always be laid off as nearly in a square, as the situation will admit of: And the surveyor of the county, on the receipt of such certificate, shall by him- self or deputy proceed to survey the quantity sold as aforesaid, agreeably to the said cer- tificate, and charge the purchaser with the expense of the same. The surveyor or his deputy, as the case may be, shall give notice to the former owner, if in the county, or his agent, if any he has therein, of the day on which the survey is to be made: And upon the plat and certificate of survey being presented to the sheriff or collector, it shall be his duty to convey the same to the pur- chaser by deed, in due form of law executed, which conveyance shall vest in the pur- chaser all the right, title and interest of the proprietor; and in consideration of law shall also vest the possession of the land in the purchaser: Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall extend, or be con- strued to extend, to bar the right or equity of redemption, which any latent person non compos mentis, or in captivity, may have the land so sold, provided the taxes and charges thereon, with interest, and an equitable compensation for improvements thereon made, be rendered within one year after such disability be removed.
Sec. 14. And be it further enacted, That when any tract of land, or part thereof, is not sold upon being exposed, and the tax on the same not paid, it shall be the duty of the sheriff or collector to advertise and ex- pose the same to sale in like manner, as to time and place as aforesaid, at every court of quarter sessions, until the land be sold or the tax be paid thereon; and no sheriff or collector, or their deputies, shall directly or indirectly, purchase any land that shall be exposed to sale for the payment of taxes. Sec. 16. And be it further enacted, That when any non-resident fails to pay to the treasurer the tax and interest due on any tract of land, on or before the said month of August annually, the auditor shall, at the same time when he transmits to the several clerks of the counties the amount of lands entered in his office, certify to the several sheriffs or collectors, as the case may be, such failure of payment, stating particular- ly the amount of the taxes due thereon; and also at the same time advertise the same in one of the Gazettes of this territory, for four weeks successively; whereupon, the sheriff or collector shall, forthwith after re- ceiving such list, proceed to advertise on the court house door of his proper county, the said tracts of lands on which the tax is due, stating the amount thereof, and that he shall proceed to make sale of the same to satisfy said taxes, unless the same shall be paid on or before the first Monday in Nov- ember, or so much thereof as will pay the taxes and expenses attending the sale: and the said sheriff or collector shall advertise the same in four different public places within the county, and if the amount of taxes is not paid, on or before the time mentioned, the sheriff or collector shall proceed to sell each tract, or so much thereof as will amount to the taxes and interest, with legal costs: and when any tract, or part thereof be sold, the sheriff or collector shall proceed in the same manner to have the same con- veyed to the purchaser as is directed in case of residents; and it shall not be lawful for the sheriff or collector, or their deputies, di- rectly or indirectly, to purchase any land sold under this section. Sec. 17. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the territorial auditor to publish such extracts from this law, as relates to the lands of non-residents, in one newspaper within this territory; and also, in one newspaper at the seat of the general government, and at the city of Richmond in Virginia; and the town of Boston in Massachusetts; and the city of Hartford, Connecticut, for the term of six weeks, to commence on the first week in February next, and the expenses thereof shall be de- frayed out of the territorial treasury.

MAP OF NEW-JERSEY. THE commissioners appointed for the pur- pose of circulating subscription papers, to the pro- posed plan of procuring an accurate Map of New- Jersey, immediately after their appointment trans- mitted printed copies of the plan to various persons in the several counties of this State, and in the cities of New York and Philadelphia, and since that time through the medium of the public print, have requested the gentlemen entrusted with those papers, to return the number of subscribers by them respectively procured, to James Salter, Esq., at Trenton, on or before the 6th day of February last. The number of subscriptions received, not amounting to two thousand, the commissioners did not conceive themselves authorized to fix a day for the meeting of the company; nevertheless be- ing of opinion from respectable information, that the actual subscriptions are nearly, if not fully, adequate to the complete organization of the com- pany, if they could be ascertained by regular re- turns, and being convinced that a trailing degree of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the subscription lists, would enable them to carry the intention of the subscribers into effect, they have by the unanimous advice and consent of the sub- scribers, whom they have been able to consult, fixed on the 24th day of May next, being the 2d day of the sitting of the supreme court, after a meet- ing of the subscribers at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, at the State House in Trenton, for the purpose of electing five Trustees and a Treasurer, at the num- ber of subscriptions should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to se- cure the attainment of an object so useful to the state. From the universal approbation exhibited by their fellow-citizens, at the commencement of this undertaking, it was to be expected that the sub- scriptions returned would have ensured its imme- diate execution, and the commissioners are pursu- ing if proper attention is paid to the procuring of subscriptions, to their mutual return at the time fixed for the meeting, and to the attendance of the subscribers, either in person or by proxy, that no farther delay will take place in commencing the operations of the company, in time for their ex- ecution during the ensuing summer.
