DEBATE
On motion of Mr. Breckenridge to repeal the act passed last session for new organising the courts of the United States.
JUDICIARY ESTABLISHMENT.
[CONTINUED]
Mr. HILLHOUSE, of Connecticut, observed, that he opposed the passage of the law now proposed to be repealed; but for the purpose of getting rid of a law which he did not like, he could not feel himself justified in tearing out a leaf of the constitution.—In attempting to correct an error of a former legislature we should be careful not to commit one, in its consequences, more fatal than the first.—He did not hesitate to declare it as his opinion, that not only the law under consideration, but every other that had been passed on that subject might be repealed; but he was surprised to hear it said that this could be done in a way that should deprive a judge, duly appointed, of his office and salary. The words of the constitution are direct and positive, that "the judges both of the supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices during good behaviour; and shall at stated times, receive for their services a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office."—The constitution no where says that the judiciary system of the United States, when once formed, cannot be altered, the courts new organized, old ones put down, and new ones created; that is left to legislative direction, under this restriction only that there shall always be a supreme court and that no judge shall be deprived of his office or salary. To abolish a court, without destroying the office or salary of the judge, has not in practice been found difficult. Most of the states, where judges hold their offices during good behaviour, have been in the habit of doing it; the United States have done it; but in no instance has a judge been deprived of his office or salary, unless in that stated to have recently happened in Maryland; which, if the facts are rightly reported, ought not to be respected, much less imitated by this Senate. By a law of Maryland, courts had been established and judges appointed, who by the constitution hold their offices during good behaviour.—This law was repealed, and during the same session of the legislature, a new law was passed establishing the same courts, and almost in the same words of the former law. What could be the object of this repeal? Surely none other than the turning the judges out of office. Could that be less a violation of their constitution than the passing of a law directly removing from office the same judges? It is too absurd to say that indirect means may be used to effect what might not be done by a direct and positive law, or is absolutely forbidden by the constitution to be done at all.
Here Mr. Hillhouse stated the various laws of Virginia, in which they new modelled or altered their judiciary system, by which, said he, it appears, that this ancient and important state has ever been careful not to violate the principle here contended for, and had in no instance deprived a judge of his office or salary.
To justify such a construction of the constitution as will warrant a repeal, it is said if a law may pass one session authorizing the appointment of 16 judges, who cannot be removed, it may be extended to 16,000—arguing that, because the power may be abused, that therefore it does not exist. But will this argument do? Let it be tested by other parts of the constitution. Congress are not limited in their power to borrow money, or raise armies, which during the period of one Congress might be used to the total and irretrievable ruin of the nation. The treaty making power is vested in the President and Senate, a power which has been recently exercised in ratifying the convention with France, by which is relinquished the claims of citizens of the United States for spoliation to a great amount; there is nothing in the constitution that restrains this power or the abuse of it; or that would have prevented the introduction of an article into this same convention, stipulating the payment to France of an annual tribute of 20 or 30 million of dollars, a sum absolutely ruinous to the United States. The same remarks will apply to sundry other powers; yet it will not be said, that because
these powers are liable to this abuse that therefore they do not exist.—There never was a constitution or form of government which contemplated it as a possible case, that the legislative power should be lodged in the hands of madmen, or which attempted to provide against such an event. Should this be the unhappy situation of any country, there would be no remedy but a resort to revolutionary principles. From whom is this abuse of power respecting the judiciary apprehended? The legislature; the same legislature in whose hands we are told the rights and liberties of the people are perfectly safe.
In no part of the constitution is the President directly vested with power to remove any one from office; on that subject it is silent; the restriction therefore in relation to the judges cannot refer to the President, it must have been intended to secure them against every department of the government. Any other construction would render the restriction futile, and wholly destroy the independence of the judges, who would be liable to be removed from office at every session of Congress. All that would be necessary would be a repeal of the law under which they hold their appointments, which, if the principle of this resolution is admissible, may be done without any violation of the constitution; it will certainly carry us to that extent.—It was most certainly the intention of the convention who framed the constitution, to secure the independence of the judges; it was thought by every one to have been done in a most effectual manner, until this new discovery, which is of very recent date, of resorting to a repeal of the law. The independence of judges is certainly very important to enforce a due administration of justice, which in every well regulated government is considered as a matter of primary importance.—Other departments of the government may be more splendid, but courts of justice come home to every man's habitation; their importance is felt by every individual, to them he looks for security and the protection of his person and property.
The constitutions of states are limited in their operation, and may be easily altered or amended; different, far different is that of the United States.—This is the bond of union between fifteen sovereign independent states, spread over a country of vast extent, influenced by different views and interests; watching with a jealous eye the movements of the general government; and whom it has been found difficult and will grow more and more difficult to unite in any agreement to alter or amend this constitution, and which, if once destroyed by any important or flagrant violation, it is my firm belief will never be renewed.
MONDAY, Jan. 18.
Mr. WHITE of Delaware. I shall be believed when I assure you, that nothing short of the highest sense of duty, and the great responsibility of the seat I have the honor to hold, could enable me to overcome the extreme embarrassment I feel in rising to present my sentiments to the Senate on this the most important question ever before them. I presume not to think after the superior eloquence and talents that have been here displayed, it will be in my power to cast on the subject a single additional ray of light; already Mr. White has it been exhausted, and were I to consult my own feelings only, I should not now have to trespass upon your patience, whilst in the execution of a sacred duty; I pass hastily over part of the same ground, that has before been trod by some of my honorable friends, making such additional remarks as might have escaped them. In the course of my observations, I shall confine myself to the same division of the question pursued by the honorable movers, and which it naturally presents.
1st. As to the expediency. 2dly, As to the constitutionality of the measure proposed in the resolution.
That some system of courts is necessary in our country for the execution of laws & the administration of justice, gentlemen most hold to the present establishment will readily admit.—It is acknowledged too on the other side of the House, that the expenses of the present judiciary are unworthy your consideration; that it is one of the least evils attending it; but say gentlemen, it is upon too large a scale, it is useless, it is dangerous.
Sir, upon the original plan of the courts, it was found impossible that the six presiding judges traveling this extensive country, and holding their sessions in every State, could either do justice to the business, or at their advanced periods of life, withstand the fatigue of such severe and constant exer-
cise, some alteration, some amendment of the system was found indispensable; the interest of the country demanded it of those in office, and it is for the execution of this duty, that their political memories are now so liberally revivified. It is well known Sir, that the United States are increasing in population, commerce and wealth, beyond any former example; that new subjects of litigation are every day finding their way into your courts, and short sighted indeed would have been the founders of the establishment now under consideration, had they confined their views to the present time. Previous to the passing of this law, no man who could avoid it would commit his business to your courts, their arrangement amounted almost to a denial of justice; suitors preferred taking their chance in the State courts, to the delay and expense attendant upon the proceedings in those of the United States. The constant change of presiding judges at every succeeding court, totally unacquainted with what had been done by their predecessors, and introducing new rules of practice, together with the unavoidable shortness of the terms, hung up the business to the great inconvenience and injury of many suitors, and must in a short time have rendered that system not only useless, but even a nuisance to the country: people could not be expected to apply for justice to a bench where time was not given to administer it.
These, Sir, among many others, are some of the reasons why business had not been originated in your courts antecedent to the present law. These are the reasons, Sir, why their dockets are now so full; and permit me to say, that the extracts contained in this document, even supposing them correct, which happens to be far from the fact, prove nothing; they were taken at a time when the present courts had scarcely commenced their operations, immediately after the first circuit, when no gentleman will undertake to say, there had been any thing like an opportunity at a fair experiment of them. And now, Sir, before the people of the country have even become acquainted with the system, and before any man, unless by the power of inspiration, can judge of its utility, it is in a moment to be dashed to pieces. Why, I ask Sir, this precipitance? Do gentlemen fear, that if the measure is delayed until another session, the experiment might render the system popular? And these hateful judges, for there is the rub Sir; these hateful judges not so lately got rid of. I hope gentlemen, at least for the present, will quiet their fears; they need not, I can assure them, apprehend any immediate danger from this mighty army of judicial veterans, so terrible in found; they are now I believe Sir, in winter quarters, and even if continued in service another year, could not totally ruin and enslave the country, or as has been indeed very feelingly expressed by the honorable gentleman from Georgia on my right, (Gen. Jackson,) lay our virtuous citizens in irons. The honorable gentleman from the same State on my left, (Mr. Baldwin,) has been pleased to tell us, that the same justice was not to be expected from the courts of the United States, as from those of the individual States, because the judges of the former cannot have a sufficient knowledge of the usages and customs of the country, and their jurors not being of the vicinage, can know nothing of the parties or their suits. I admired much Sir, the ingenuity and candor of that gentleman, but this was certainly among the least solid parts of his argument; unhappily the very reasons he adduced proved directly the opposite of what he wished. Judges, Sir, should be governed only by the law of the land, they carry it with them; they are its expositors, & are sworn to decide according to it; & have nothing to do with the usages & customs of the neighbourhoods where they may happen to sit. And I have always understood, that the greatest possible security for the impartiality of jurors, is their being entire strangers to the contending parties, and totally ignorant of their causes until empanelled to decide them; they then view nothing but the naked facts arising out of competent testimony, and are influenced only by law and justice. And such Sir, is the frailty of our nature, that the best man in society may be acting under the influence of politics, friendship, passion, or prejudice, when he supposes himself governed by the purest motives. Well aware though I am, Sir, that nothing short of the constitution itself, and I fear not even that will be sufficient to preserve the independence of the judiciary from this bold onset, I shall now proceed to the second division of the question.
I admit, Sir, that the law proposed in the resolution to be repealed, is capable of much amendment, and it has never been denied but that congress had the power of altering it in any way, so as not to impair the independence of the judiciary; by touching the offices or salaries of the judges; this cannot be done, the words of the constitution on the subject are as explicit and certain as language can be. By the 1st sect. of the 3d art. it is declared, that "the judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such inferior courts as the congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour." Does our language admit of words more positive than these, Sir? Not a letter nor even a comma is wanting to complete the meaning we assign to them; and I ask gentlemen, to point out any other words that the framers of this instrument could have used, that would have been less equivocal, or that could import with more certainty the construction we now contend for; it has not yet been done, and I defy them to do it; and if a different construction can be given to these words, this written constitution is not worth a lous; it is to all useful purposes a mere chart, upon which a legislative majority may write what they please.
Gentlemen acknowledge that the
judges of the supreme court are out of their reach (thank heaven that they happen to think so or they too would accompany their brethren) but say they, the judges of the inferior courts are creatures of our own, and we can do with them as we please. Let me admit, Sir, for argument sake, the positive meaning of the constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, that these words, "The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices during good behaviour;" are equivocal. What reasons gentlemen can have to believe, upon what possible grounds they can presume, that the makers of this constitution did not intend to place the judges of the inferior courts upon the same independent footing as those of the superior courts; do they not belong to the same great department of your government; intended to be kept separate and distinct from the other two great departments? Is not their independence equally important to the faithful administration of justice? Certainly, Sir, and if possible more so, for it is to them the people, in most instances, must first apply for justice, and a vast proportion of the most important business that passes through their hands, is never carried into the supreme court.
As to the outcry that has been raised about sixteen hundred, or sixteen thousand, or sixteen millions of judges, if gentlemen please—calculating on the abuse of power by the constituted authorities in the use of it, the honorable gentleman from Connecticut has so fully and unanswerably replied to it, that I shall make no observations on the subject.
The gentleman from Georgia on my right, has told us, that the constitution cannot be altered in any other way than by two thirds of Congress agreeing to it; and then very emphatically asked, will two thirds now agree? I hope not, Sir, but because a sufficient number of us cannot agree upon altering constitutionally, will gentlemen force their way through it by violence, in order to get at their judges? The same honorable gentleman has been pleased to compare this system and these judges to a cotton machine; when done, if it should not work to the maker's satisfaction, he tears it all to pieces and makes a new one. Are we, at liberty, to infer from this, Sir, that the present judges cannot be made to work to the present rulers, and that this system is to be demolished, to displace them, in order to make a new one, and seat upon your benches of justice creatures more pliable? I hope not, Sir, I am sure such cannot be the views of any honorable gentleman.
It has been day after day echoed, and re-echoed from one side of this chamber to the other, that this law was one of the last exerting acts of the former administration; that the legislature had no right to pass it because they knew it would be repealed. What, Sir, are we told that a majority of the last Congress had no right to pass a constitutional law? This is novel doctrine indeed; and were they to omit doing good because they had reason to believe their successors would do evil? I acknowledge, Sir, that the establishment of this judiciary system was one of the last acts of the former administration, and it was the very best act; the destruction of it is likely to be one of the first acts of the present administration, and I pray God that it may be the worst, but from such a beginning the end is indeed incalculable.
Sir, these judges may, by the strong arm of legislative power, be driven from their seats; not their own unimpeachable integrity, their virtue, and their learning, or even the sacred barriers of the constitution itself may be sufficient to avert their fate, but remember, the advanced in years, many of them will live to see what the gentleman from Maryland has called the flux of passion and reflux of reason—they will live to see the people of this country, review with horror the present attempt, and if till then they should happily preserve their peace and liberties, wonder how it has happened.
I will now, Sir, in conclusion, notice in a style that it deserves, the language of the gentleman from Virginia, in the discussion of this question, applied to the state of Delaware; language unworthy of this floor. He tortured an expression of my honorable friend from New-York, to furnish himself with an opportunity of travelling far out of the subject, in order to insult the honor of the state I be long to; after speaking of the feasibility of states, he observed, that "he should feel the same interest for any state large or small, whether it were the little state of Delaware herself, or the still more insignificant republic of St. Marino."

The speech is not yet in print, but if I am wrong the gentleman will correct me. Mr. Madison explained; he did not mean by what he said, any thing derogatory to the state of Delaware; on the contrary he entertained a high respect for that state. Mr. White—I hope, Mr. President, I may be further indulged, I did not at the moment distinctly hear what the gentleman said; but now must insist on knowing explicitly from him, not only what he meant, but whether he believes the word "insignificant," as used by him, could in any way apply to the state of Delaware. Mr. Madison was about to explain further, when the Vice-President rose from his seat and observed, that he was not in the Senate when the gentleman from Virginia spoke, but if he had used any such words as were charged to him, they were improper, and ought not to have been permitted. That no reflections on any state or gentleman should be suffered in the Senate; and that he hoped the gentleman from Delaware would take no further notice of it.—Mr. White—As the gentleman is now pleased to deny his intention, in obedience to the chair, I shall spare myself the trouble and his feelings the pain of a retort that very readily presents itself.

FRENCH REPUBLIC.
LEGISLATIVE BODY.
Speech of Roederer, Chancellor of State, upon presenting the Treaty between France and the United States of America.
Citizens Legislators,
The treaty I have the honor of presenting to the legislative body, has put an end to the misunderstanding between France and America, from which neither the distance that separates them, nor the recollections so dear to the two nations, have been able to preserve them during the revolution.
This treaty is the first of those that have rendered the 9th year remarkable by the pacification of the universe. It is by its frank and liberal stipulations that the government assured Europe of its moderation and its pacific views. It is the first ray that was darted through the tempest, as if it were to enlighten the last victories of France, to render them more enchanting to the victor, and to soften the aspect of them to the vanquished.
During the war which the United States had to maintain for their independence, France united herself with them by signal services and by two treaties, the one of alliance, the other of amity and commerce. By the former France had guaranteed to the United States their liberty, sovereignty and independence. She engaged not to lay down the arms she had taken up to second their efforts till England had recognized their independence by treaty; finally she renounced all indemnity for such protection.
As an acknowledgment for such engagements and services the United States guaranteed to France her colonies, opened their ports to French ships of war and privateers accompanied with their prizes, permitted French privateers to arm in those very ports and to sell their prizes; finally they forbade ships of war and privateers belonging to nations at war with France, which should have made captures from her, from entering their ports.
In 1792, when war broke out between France and England, the United States were placed between their engagements to one and the power of another. Difficulties arose upon the interpretation of treaties; discussions were embittered by distrust, which the distance and difficulty of communication did not permit the parties to do away. The treaty of amity and commerce, concluded in these circumstances between the United States and England, was considered as a testimony of partiality for her enemy. The commercial agents of the republic evinced and excited some irritation; the commerce of the U. States was molested by French privateers; several prizes were made, & then the American Congress thought themselves justified in declaring the United States exonerated from the treaties that united them to France; they suspended their communications with her, issued letters of marque against her ships fitted out in the colonies, and soon contests at sea between the vessels of the two nations announced the necessity of hastening their reconciliation, if both parties wished to prevent its becoming very difficult.
Such was the state of affairs when three American negotiators came to Paris, with the desire and hope of preventing an open rupture.
The American commerce pretended that it had experienced considerable losses; the negotiators demanded an indemnity for them.
The French government had also pretensions to indemnity for their commerce, which had for some time suffered; it acknowledged that it was just to liquidate, compensate and discharge, if there were room, the indemnities respectively due; but it placed as a condition, in every stipulation upon this subject, that the treaties between France and the United States should be previously recognized, considering that indemnities could only be an acknowledgment of uninter-rupted friendship between the two states; a disavowal of all violences that might have resulted from a simple misunderstanding; a sort of protection against every thing that might have announced a hostile intention; a new assurance of fidelity to ancient conventions; in a word, considering that indemnities could not but be the execution of ancient treaties and not the preliminary of a new, since, to avow their annihilation, would have been to avow war, and to impose upon the nation which should have to pay the other a balance for indemnities, the scandalous obligation of purchasing peace.
The American negotiators thought themselves bound by the act of Congress which had declared the treaties null, and conceived themselves unable to recognize them. It was necessary, in consequence, to adjourn the respective pretensions, and to regulate, by new stipulations, the relations of amity and commerce which it was necessary to re-establish. Such has been the object of the convention concluded at Paris the 30th of Vendemaire, year 9, which is now submitted to the legislative body.
The basis of that treaty are the most perfect equality between the two nations, an exact reciprocity in all cases susceptible of it; a great liberality of principles, and the reciprocal assurance of treating each other in every species of relation, on the footing of the most favoured nation. Such ought to be the characters of a treaty between two nations jealous of their liberty.
The cause of war between the two states and a foreign power, have been foreseen and regulated in a manner which has appeared to be most proper to prevent all equivocation, surprise and vexation, with respect to the power of remaining neutral.
The form of the passports of ships, the mode of their exhibition, the manner of pronouncing upon respective prizes, the principle by which they shall be tried, every thing has been specified in the most precise, and at the same time the most favourable manner for the freedom of the two nations.
In the case, against all expectation, war should break out between France and the United States, the citizens of one of the two nations domiciliated in the dominions of the other shall have a delay to remove themselves and place their effects in safety.
The legislative body will find worthy of remark the article of the treaty in which the principle of "free bottoms make free goods" is held sacred; and, recollecting the era when this treaty was published in France, it will probably acknowledge that this principle, eminently liberal, has not a little contributed to revive in the north, the high policy that guided Catherine the Great, when she placed the flag of each neutral power under the protection of all the rest; and to cause new efforts to be attempted there for the foundation of a grand and solid system of maritime neutrality. All the world, moreover, knows how much it served to restore to the French government the good opinion of the powers of Europe, who affected most doubt of its moderation.
For the remainder, such was the confidence of the two nations in the formation of a treaty, such their eagerness for a speedy reconciliation, that the first stipulation agreed upon between the negotiators was the cessation of all hostility from the very signature of the convention; and without waiting till it was ratified on each side. This article has been faithfully executed by both parties.
The reservation of opening ulterior negotiations relative to the treaties and indemnities, has been stipulated in the second article, of which it was the sole object. But the fear of reviving warm discussions, and of seeing the good harmony which is to be the happy effect of the other stipulations disturbed, has caused the suppression of the 2d article in the acts of ratification. That suppression is a prudent and amicable renunciation of the respective pretensions which were announced in the article.
France made, without regret, the sacrifice of privileges which the still pressing want of their successors, the fears of England, and finally gratitude, had made her concede to the United States during the war for their independence.
Experience has shewn, and reasons sufficiently proved, that the rigorous exercise of those privileges would, with great difficulty, be concluded with the perfect safety, and perhaps with the independence of the United States, principally in cases in which France would have to sustain war against a power of great naval strength.
It sufficed to the government that the French nation was assured of never seeing another nation more favoured than herself in her relations with the United States. Besides, she hoped from the security of the Americans more advantages than she could have derived from the accomplishment of their ancient engagements. She thought it accorded with the interests of the French nation as well as with her grandeur, to reduce all their obligations to France to the obligation of prospering, to that of concurring in the liberty of the seas, and of sharing with honor the commerce of the universe, of
offering to our colonies kind neighbours, and to Europe an example of the virtues which are the happy fruit of a wise liberty.
"Such is, citizens legislators, the general spirit of the treaty. Every thing promises stability to it. The two nations are separated by too great a distance ever to be rivals. The United States are too near our colonies for it not to be useful to us to have them as friends. The position of their country, the fertility of their territory, their immense forests, of which agriculture asks only a part to be delivered to maritime industry, already on the point of launching them into the ocean; a sentiment of force kept up in every mind by the conviction of a rapidly progressive property; an energetic desire of prosperity, warmed by the continual augmentation of force; finally sobriety, economy, simplicity of manners, all these circumstances, which seem to summon the Americans to the happy destiny of a people at once cultivators and navigators, give them a powerful interest in the liberty of the seas, the equilibrium of the powers of Europe, and the prosperity of the French republic. And besides, how many other causes tend to unite in affectionate people so strictly joined in interest!
"Can France ever applaud that equality which has substituted the emulation of all for the privileges of some; that liberty which has given her laws of her own consent, and magistracies of whom she is proud, without calling an eye of kindness upon the country and successors of William Penn, of Franklin, and of Washington?
"Can France applaud the regeneration of her morals, without doing homage to the morals of a new and agricultural people, which have not yet experienced the taint of corruption.
"Can she enjoy in her bosom the freedom of worship, without contemplating with pleasure those United States, in which no one is without religion, but in which each person follows that which he prefers?
"And on the other side, how can the benefits which America derives from liberty be recalled to her recollection, and to the minds of her inhabitants, without reminding them of France, who gave it them before she enjoyed it herself, and who, having given it afterwards to herself, alone, and unassisted, against the whole world, has finished by wondering it respectable and dear."
The discussion of the treaty was fixed for the 6th December.
LONDON, Nov. 16.
Government received on Saturday and yesterday dispatches from Marquis Cornwallis, despatched by M. Ar. Hunter and Lisle. The vessel which brought the last messenger, brought us Paris papers to the 12th inst.
The accounts of the Fete describe it to have been extremely grand. The early part of the day was stormy, but towards the afternoon the weather cleared up, and enabled the people to enjoy without molestation, the magnificence of the spectacle, and the brilliancy and beauty of the illuminations. The palaces, the bridges, and the place de Concorde, were the most conspicuous. The coup d'oeil on the Seine was novel and pleasing. Several hundred boats were rowed up and down the river with bands of music, and illuminated from head to stern. No accident occurred during the whole day.
Marquis Cornwallis was introduced on Monday to the Chief Consul, with whom he had a private conference. He had been previously introduced by Mr. Merry on Sunday to M. Talleyrand, with whom he dined. Never was any Ambassador received with more distinguished honours, or treated with more respectful attention.
"By way of precaution and equality," says the Monitor, "the carriages were forbidden to be driven after five in the evening on the Fete: etiquette required that of Lord Cornwallis should be excepted from this measure. His Lordship walked about in all places destined for the Fete.
"Every where did he see order and propriety observed without constraint. His presence every where excited that attention which is not the result of curiosity, which rather serves to repress the feelings, and which is an expression of pleasure, and at the same time a testimony of respect to the character and to the fame of him who is the object of it."
Appartments had been prepared for his Lordship at the Thuilleries to see the illuminations. From the different aspects of that building, and the gardens, his Excellency could see the Fete in many different directions.
A guard of honor is appointed to do duty at the Hotel where his Excellency resides, and whenever he passes any of the guard-houses, the soldiers turn out as they would for the Chief Consul.
On Wednesday Marquis Cornwallis gave a grand dinner to Joseph Bonaparte, Talleyrand, and several general officers of the first rank in Paris. His Lordship is stated to have been much fatigued with his journey to Paris, on account of the badness of the weather. He slept one night at Amiens, at the house taken for him during his residence at the Congress. The morning of his departure from thence being
fine, the people crowded from all parts of the town to see him, and he was several times under the necessity of appearing at the balcony to satisfy their curiosity and impatience.
About two posts from Paris, Lord Cornwallis was met by Mr. Merry, with whom he entered Paris in his chariot and four. The other carriages followed, escorted by 150 of the finest hussars in the French service. The magnificence of the equipages, and the celerity with which they passed along excited the astonishment of the Parisians. They had previous notice of his excellency's arrival, and the streets were lined with people. The carriages drove to the Hotel Grange Batelier, on the Boulevards where a most magnificent suite had been hired for the accommodation of the Embassy. It is the finest hotel in Paris.
The expedition to St. Domingo proceeds with great vigor. Gen. Leclerc, it appears, is to command. He is to have under him general Rochambeau and Boudet, both of whom very highly distinguished themselves in Italy last campaign, besides many other officers of great distinction. The civil department will also be extremely well selected.
We understand from private letters, that it is believed Gen. Rochambeau, after assisting in reducing Toussaint (if he resists) proceeds to take the chief command in Martinique.
The French funds are 57 1-2
November 17.
It is expected that the Congress will now very speedily assemble at Amiens. If it be true that Plenipotentiaries are to meet there from the continental powers, Austria, Prussia, &c. it is not easy to say when it may terminate. Such meetings, if they do business well at all, certainly do not dispatch it quickly. But indeed we cannot see what immediate interests the powers can have in the adjustment of a Treaty between England and France, and therefore we doubt the truth of this rumour of their being called to assist at the conferences. It is generally believed that much discussion has taken place upon the definitive arrangements, and that some progress even has been made in the negotiation respecting a commercial treaty.
The act suspending the payments of the bank in specie, expires six weeks after the conclusion of a definitive treaty of Peace. The subject of this resumption therefore has produced several conferences between the governor and directors of the bank and his majesty's ministers. It was represented by the bank, that considerable inconvenience would arise if they were obliged all at once to renew payments in specie; that it would be desirable to wait some time till the effects of peace began to operate and till the exchanges of other countries, now from several causes against us, became more in our favour. At the same time a statement of the situation of the affairs of the bank, fully evincing its solidity and responsibility, was submitted to government. We understand that it has been agreed by ministers that the restriction should continue for a limited period, though not a very long one. In the mean time, the bank will prepare, by various measures within the sphere of their own administration, for gradually renewing their payments in specie. This may be done by limiting, to a certain degree, their discounts, and perhaps, by gradually giving up the issues of the smaller notes. The operation of taking off the hands of the bank their advance of 2,500,000l. of Exchequer bills, for which provision was made in the bargain with the bill-holders, may likewise tend to facilitate any measures which lead to what is so desirable, the conduct of the concerns of the bank on their old footing.
From very good authority from an officer in the French service, who dined on board one of our men of war some days since, it appears that the French government have it in contemplation to build 100 sail of the line, and 200 frigates, from 48 to 32 guns, of which 60 of the different classes are now ready for launching, and in frame for sea-going. This French officer emphatically said, in the event taking place of completing so large a naval force, France would overwhelm England by sea in another way, as she had over-run the continent of Europe this war. A very gallant naval officer of rank, at the table, very spiritily observed, that the French navy would have some damn'd hard knocks before such a business took place.
Since the above paragraphs were prepared for press, we have been favoured with the Falmouth Gazette of the 12th December. It contains nothing of greater importance than the following articles:
LONDON, Dec. 9.
The Monitor of the 1st instant contains the following notice:
The public are informed, that the reciprocal correspondence between the French Republic and England is re-established from the 1st Frimaire (22d November.)
A great house (Thierry's) has failed in Hamburgh for upwards 1,200,000 marcs banco.
The following are the diplomatic arrangements concluded upon, and which will take place in the course of the spring, Lord Whitworth, to go Ambassador to Paris, as soon as the definitive treaty is signed. Mr. Lisson, Ambassador to the Hague; and Lord Henley Stuart (son of the Marquis of Bute) Secretary of Legation. Mr. Wickham, minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Berlin. Lord Garsfort, Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. Petersburg. Lord Robert Fitzgerald, Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Lisbon. Sir James Craufurd, Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of Stockholm. The Embassy to Madrid is not settled.
We received this morning Paris papers to the 5th inst. They announce the departure of the Marquis Cornwallis and the French Plenipotentiary with their suites for Amiens.
Intelligence had reached Vienna, on the 14th November, from Bucharest, the capital of Wallachia, that the celebrated Pashwan Oglou, having heard of the Preliminaries of peace between France, England, and the Sublime Porte, by one of his emissaries, immediately withdrew his troops from that bank of the Danube belonging to Wallachia, and sent one of his officers to the new Hospodar, to solicit him to intercede in his favour with the Sublime Porte. Pashwan Oglou declares that he is ready to submit to the Grand Seigneur, on condition of his being maintained in his government of Widdin:—The Hospodar immediately dispatched a courier with these overtures to Constantinople.
The peace establishment of the army has at length been finally arranged and determined upon, between the commander in chief and his majesty's ministers, and is as follows:
27 Regiments of Light Dragoons; 1 Regiment of Hussars; 101 Regiments of Infantry; 6 Regiments of Black troops; 60 companies of Invalids. Seventeen regiments of Infantry are to be kept in India, each regiment to contain 1200 men. The other regiments are to be reduced to 750 men. This large force is independent of the Horse and Foot guards, the artillery, and the waggon and Staff corps, which amount to 20 battalions more, making in the whole upwards of 160 battalions, exclusive of the marine corps.
We understand that it is the intention of Government to maintain a force of 12 ships of the line on the Jamaica station, and orders for that effect have been issued, and the necessary arrangements made. This a greater force than has been in that quarter during the war. But the French force there will, in consequence of the expedition to St. Domingo, be considerable.
Corn Exchange, Dec. 7.
Current Price of grain.—Wheat 48s to 65s—Superfine 78s—Rye 26s to 36s—Prime 34s to 40s—Barley 32s to 36s—Fine ditto to 42s—Superfine 48s.
Price of Flour this morning.—Fine Flour 60s to 65s—Second ditto 55s to 60s—Bran 10s to 12s—Fine Pollard 22s to 24s.
M. Otto will be introduced to his majesty, as minister Plenipotentiary from the French republic, to-morrow at the levee; and madame Otto will be presented to her majesty at the next drawing room.
We understand that Mr. Otto is to retain this new situation, which is similar to that Mr. Jackson holds at Paris, only until the signing of the definitive treaty, and the arrival of a regular ambassador from France. He is then to be appointed minister to the United States of America.
Private letters from Paris coincide in stating that Joseph Buonaparte will be the new ambassador.
The Journal du Commerce of the 1st inst. states, that Marquis Cornwallis left Paris on the 13th inst. at noon, for Amiens.
The report which we stated a good while ago, that the French would be allowed to hire a quantity of shipping to convey troops to St. Domingo, is renewed.
We received a letter from Dublin yesterday, which mentions that James Napper Tandy, who bore the commission of General of Brigade in the French service, has received official notice to prepare for immediate execution, or transportation to Botany Bay for life.
Russia.—A letter from Moscow, dated the 27th of October, states, that the removal of count Panin from the ministry had given occasion to much speculation. The pretence of his resignation was bad health, though he never was in better health. Some think that his ambition could brook no control or association in power, and that finding himself frequently checked in his views, he thought proper to anticipate his dismissal. He is represented to be very like Mr. Pitt, not only in his personal character, and principles, but in his face, figure, gait, &c. Other accounts state, that Panin's removal, which preceded the news of peace between France and England, was meant to pave the way for attempts to bring about a general pacification. It is not known whether the changes meditated in contemplation.

of that object will now take place.— Count Panin is succeeded by M. Kotchubei, formerly envoy at Constantinople. He speaks English, and is supposed to be well disposed to this nation. He paid the English great attention during their persecution by Paul I. Others who know him intimately, think that he does not entertain any strong political partiality for England.—On the morning of the 27th their imperial majesties set out for Peterburgh; on the Thursday following the empress dowager and the Archduchesses were to leave Moscow. The grand duke Constantine was to remain till the season of travelling in sledges arrived. This compliment was not very acceptable to the inhabitants of Moscow; for Constantine is not popular, either with Russians or foreigners. The foreign ministers were to leave Moscow on the 6th November, and the English not till after that day, as an order was issued not to furnish any post horses but to serfs connected with the court, till Saturday, the 7th.
To Osborne Sprigg, Esq. Sir, YOUR publication of the 11th inst. has just come to hand; if I am not mistaken, my invitation informed you that Ranger was engaged to run his last race, on the 27th day of May next, over the Hunting Park Course.—I cannot with convenience to my feelings, break this engagement, or forfeit my bets.—Prefacing that you do not with an advantage, and that you are willing to run Le Boo again Ranger upon equal terms. I now propose, Ranger shall, on the 18th day of May next, run Le Boo over the Havre de Grace course, the 4 mile heats, carrying weight according to the rules of the Annapolis Jockey Club, for 5000 dollars, each play or pay. I live 44 miles from Havre de Grace, and the Susquehanna to cross, you have perhaps 20 or 30 miles further to travel your horse, without the risk of a water passage. This is as near as I can contrive meeting you half way, over the best turf in America, carrying your own weight, running your own distance, and making your own fun. I name the 18th of February next to sign the race articles, and if any thing should prevent my reaching the city on that day, Mr. Taylor is empowered to sign my name for me. am, Sir, Your obedient humble servant, T. M. FORMAN. Feb. 1, 1802.
Public Auction. By virtue of a decree from the honorable the high court of Chancery, the subscriber will sell on Tuesday the 23d February next, at the mansion of the late major Richard Chew, ALL the real estate of the said Richard Chew—Consisting of about 1220 acres of land in one body, situate in Ann Arundel County, lying on the Chesapeake Bay, and forms the mouth of Herring Bay, twenty miles from Annapolis, fifty from Baltimore, and thirty-five from the City of Washington. This land is as rich and fertile as any on the Chesapeake, affords the most luxurious pasture, has a large proportion of meadow land, and the greatest abundance of fire wood and timber; and for ship building the best timber on the Chesapeake may be had on this land; the situation is healthy, and a beautiful prospect as any on the Bay; a good harbour, and the waters lying around the land afford the greatest abundance of excellent fish, crabs, oysters, and wild fowl. The improvements are valuable, consisting of a large two story brick dwelling house, with four rooms and a commodious passage on each floor, with excellent cellars under the whole house, a large and elegant garden laid off with falls, a good kitchen, and almost every other necessary outhouse. The very convenient situation of this land must be obvious to every person willing to purchase, as the wood, timber, and the whole product of this land, can be removed from thence by water, and that in a few hours, to the markets of Annapolis and Baltimore. A more minute description of this valuable property is thought unnecessary, as any person willing to purchase, can view the same by applying to Doctor Richard Chew, who resides thereon or to Mr. Philip L. Chew, living within a few miles of it. The terms of sale are, that the purchasers, shall either pay down one tenth part of the purchase money on the day of sale, or give bond with security for the payment of the same, on the chancellor's ratification, which will be in four weeks after return of the sale is to him made by the trustee. For the residue a bond or bonds are to be given with security on interest, to be approved of by the chancellor, payable in two equal annual payments; and on the receipt of the whole of the purchase money, the subscriber, by a good deed, indented, will give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm to the purchaser, or purchasers, his, her or their heirs, the land sold to them; and all the rights, title, interest, and estate, therein and thereto, of the said Richard Chew, or his heirs, or any person claiming by, from, or under them. It is further ordered by the chancellor that the creditors of the said deceased, who have not yet exhibited their claims, shall file the same in the chancery court, with the vouchers thereof, before the first day of June next.

WASHINGTON CITY. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1802.
The Editors of New-York Prints appear to have received a single English paper as late as the 12th of Dec. but to have received none other later than the close of November. We have received the London Courier to the 8th of December, from which most of our articles, inserted to-day, are extracted. Our next paper will contain several additional articles of interest.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability at Guadaloupe, dated Jan. 2, 1802. "At present every thing is perfectly quiet, and the greatest safety prevails throughout the colony."
IT is not for the purpose of introducing any thing of a political or extraneous nature with the subject of Mr. Tracy's publication of the 29th in the National Intelligencer, that the following observations are made upon it. It seems, however, proper to premise, that the remarks, to which Mr. Tracy has replied, were derived from an examination of the documents in the Secretary of State's office, before it was undertaken to lay them before the public. This is a privilege, which, it is believed, will be equally extended to any person, who may be desirous of scrutinizing the subject. In his speech upon the judiciary, Mr. Tracy had animadvertised upon document No. 8, which was referred to in the President's message, and his imputations were applied to the statement of suits in Massachusetts, New-York, Virginia, North-Carolina, and Tennessee, whilst he censured the omission to state any for Maryland. It is true, that in his publication, after being detected in palpable errors with respect both to Virginia and North-Carolina, which he has not accounted for, nor confessed, he has shifted his mode of attack and set up as to them a new charge; but then he adheres to those involving the other topics, and has increased the number by an additional discovery, that the statement for South-Carolina is also vicious.
We shall not repeat what was observed in this paper on the 25th, and shall of course omit to notice Mr. Tracy's reply, as far as it is intended to affect those particulars; believing, as we do, that it does not lessen their conclusive force. We have, therefore, only to do at present with his new charges against the statements relative to the suits in Virginia, & North and South-Carolina. In each of these instances, the number of suits depending is correctly stated; but the aggregates, it is freely confessed, have been falsely summed up by the clerk who did it. They should stand thus: Aggregate as corrected, for Virginia 2152 Do. as in the document, for do. 2048 114 Do. for N. Carolina 629 Do. as in the document for do. 495 134
In this paper of the 25th, it was stated that the aggregate for Massachusetts was deficient 3 Too little 251 For South-Carolina the aggregate was wrongly added up (by including the column of decided causes) at 1143 It should have been only 882 Too many 261 Balance too many 10
Thus, therefore, Mr. Tracy's researches have brought to light, that the document No. 8, contains 10 suits too many out of 3276. As to the causes depending, we again assert, that the document No. 8, states their number for each district in correct conformity to the returns of the clerks of the courts from which it is abstracted: we can add upon good grounds, that the other columns, to the left hand of the aggregates, are not affected by the errors above admitted, and from the care bestowed upon them, as well as their minute divisions, they ought to be free from the suspicion, which it is attempted to throw upon them, of an infection received as it were from the column of aggregates.
It seems also necessary to add a remark on the justice of attributing the mistake to the President personally. The public are acquainted with the fact, that the communications to congress were, at the opening of the present session, more than commonly voluminous: and can any man, the least acquainted with the manner of conducting public business, for a moment imagine, that the President could find time to revile and recast every column of figures? Could it be supposed, that he ought to spend his time
in numerical calculations, to the exclusion of the more important business of the nation? Candour would have descended to a lower source for the error, if indeed it would have stooped at all, to make such remarks in such a way? Had the object been the ascertainment of truth, the means were known and the path open.
Upon the whole, we flatter ourselves, that the public will be satisfied of the only two points which are in any wise material. 1st. That it was not the President's error, and 2d. That it amounts to no more than an addition of 10 to the whole number of suits, without affecting those which are given as undecided.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, U. S. FRIDAY, JAN. 29, 1802. Mr. SOUTHARD, from the committee to whom was referred the memorial of Mr. Du Pre, in perpetual motion, stated that the memorialist had desired to withdraw his memorial, and the papers accompanying it. He therefore, moved that he should have leave to withdraw his memorial. Agreed to.
An engrossed bill from the Senate, authorizing the discharge of Lawrence Ebb from confinement, was read the 3d time and passed.
Engrossed resolutions, expressing the sense of Congress of the gallant conduct of Lieut. Sterret, &c. were read the third time and passed.
An engrossed bill to allow drawback upon goods exported from the United States to New-Orleans for a prescribed period, &c. was read a third time; and on motion of Mr. Griswold, who thought its provisions were not sufficiently explicit to protect the revenue from fraud, was recommitted to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. NICHOLSON moved the following resolution:—
Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law for the payment of such loan office and final settlement certificates, as may have been lost, and for the payment or renewal of which application was made prior to the 12th of June 1799.
Mr. NICHOLSON wished the resolution to be referred to the committee of the whole.
Mr. GRISWOLD suggested the propriety of making the first reference to the committee of claims, to ascertain facts; in which he was supported by Mr. Bayard, and opposed by Mr. Southard.
The reference to a committee of the whole was lost; and then it was referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. GILES presented petitions from 1200 persons resident in the N. Western Territory against the act of the government of said territory respecting boundaries; also praying to be admitted as a state into the union, but if not admitted, that the governor may be prohibited from exercising an absolute negative on the passage of laws, &c.
Mr. GILES then moved that the petitions from the North Western Territory be referred to a select committee to enquire into the expediency of admitting that Territory as a state into the union. Carried, and referred to a committee of seven.
Mr. ALSTON moved a resolution directing the committee of revival and unfinished business to enquire into the expediency of continuing in part or in whole for a longer time than the 2d of next March, when it expires, the act of March 2, 1799, for augmenting the salaries of certain officers.
After a short debate on the mode of referring the resolution, it was carried without a division.
Mr. JONES presented a memorial of George Helmbold, junr. praying that the copy right may be extended to paintings, portraits, and engravings. Referred.
Mr. GILES said as a report was soon expected from the committee of Ways and Means, it was important to ascertain the sense of Congress on the continuance of an establishment attended with a considerable expense. He said he alluded to the mint. If it should appear that this establishment cost more than the benefit derived from it, he presumed it would be discontinued. He, therefore, submitted a resolution, declaring that the several acts in relation to the mint ought to be repealed. Ordered to lie on the table.
The House then went into committee of the whole on the bill respecting Philip Sloan, which was reported to the House without amendment, and the bill ordered to be engrossed for a third reading on Monday.
New-York, Jan. 25. Ship Lady Bonaparte of Philadelphia, was bound to Guadaloupe, but off Point Petre, was boarded by a French and British frigate, and ordered away, in consequence of that Island being declared in open rebellion against the Republic of France, by Lacroix, &c. and all intercourse being positively interdicted.
Capt. Hays was informed by the blockading frigate, that even clearances from the Island would not be respected; and further, that ships of war are stationed
all around the Island, to enforce his Proclamation.
Extract of a letter from capt. Spain, to his owners in Wilmington, dated Port-Liberty, (Guad.) December 14, 1801.
"I am afraid we shall be glad to make our escape with our lives before many days. The negroes have made two attempts to rifle: the first was in Basseterre, about the first of this month, but without much success; they only stabbed four men in the town, and did some mischief in the country: the second was in this place on the night of the 10th inst. and they also were dispersed & their ring-leaders made prisoners. Last night the negroes began their riot in the market-place again, which greatly alarmed the people. The whites were running with their wives and children in every direction, begging of us to take them on board of our vessels. The women themselves did not stop running into the river up to their waists, to meet the boats, with repeated screams for God's sake to save them. Although I used all possible exertion to cast my falls off, my decks were crowded before I could effect it; in a few minutes I was under weigh, towed out in the bay, and came to anchor. A flag of truce which had been sent to Dominico, returned yesterday with a very unfavorable answer; the words were—No we will treat with no negroes or mulattoes, neither shall they hold any office; but we will be there in ten days, with a fleet of men of war and transports, and will show you your places. The fever has been mortal among the Americans; some vessels have lost half their crews, and others nearly all."

Mr. SPRIGG, THE owner of LEROO, was not desirous, after the races at the City, to run a- gainst Mr. Taylor's horse LEVIATHAN, he would have thought it ungenerous to have made such a proposition. But as Mr. Taylor has declared in the public prints that "he can be accommodated for his own sum, not being less than 1500 dollars." Mr. Sprigg will run with him over the City Course, on the 13th day of May next, for 2,000 dollars, the four mile heats, agreeably to the rules of racing. As major Foreman, the owner of Ranger, wishes an opportunity of contending with Le- roo and Leviathan, he can never have a bet- ter one than at the same time and place; but if that should not be convenient, Mr. Sprigg will run Leboon against Ranger on the first Monday in June, over the Govet's Town Course, the four mile heats, for 3,000 dollars or for any sum between that and 1000, as major Foreman may think proper.

Fifty Dollars Reward. RANAWAY on Saturday night the 26th of last month, a Mulatto named CYRUS, about 21 or 22 years of age, five feet six or seven in- ches high, with dark bushy hair. He has served an apprenticeship with a millwright, and is a good workman. He stole from Popes Creek, the estate of Daniel McCarty, Esq., in the county of Westmoreland; a small sorrel horse, a neat light faddle, not much worn, made by James Smock, Fredericksburg, and a snaffle bridle, with a variety of wearing ap- parel. He has for some time a mail belonging to general Lee of Stratford, and it is conjectured he will endeavor to secret himself in the neighbourhood of the City of Washington, in expectation of meeting with his wife.

FOR SALE. THE subscriber is authorised to sell a tract of land containing four hundred acres, lying in Prince George county, on Oxen Run, ad- joining the district of Columbia, and about two miles from the City of Washington, with a good road to that part of the Eastern Branch over which a bridge is to be built.— This land is healthy and abounds with springs of excellent water. There are between twenty and thirty acres of meadow ground, with a fine stream through it, which may be prepared for Timothy at a small expense, and at least two hundred acres in wood and timber.

This land has on it some elegant situations for country seats, commanding a view of the river and the city.

For 6666 dolls. & 66 cts. AT EASY PAYMENTS. The subscriber offers for sale A Tract of land on Aquia Creek, in the county of Stafford, containing about 300 acres, two fifths of which is woodland, lying chiefly on the water. This tract possesses the following improvements and advantages.—A two story framed dwelling house and the usual out-houses; orchards of apples, peaches, pears, cherries &c. a falling garden neatly laid out, several springs of excellent water, and a well at the door. The dwelling house is situated on an eminence commanding a most delightful and extensive prospect of the Potomac (from whence it is distant about two miles) for thirty or forty miles; and of the Aquia from its confluence with that river to the head of tide water at Woodstock—a prospect perhaps equalled by few in the U. States. The tract abounds with valuable quarries of free stone of every quality. Some of them contiguous to deep water, and nearer the Potomac than any that are now in operation on said Creek. For one acre, containing a free stone quarry three miles farther from the Potomac, the proprietor has refused 3000 guinees, and eleven acres adjoining the said acre, were sold for 6000 dollars. There are also two valuable marlhes, several fishing shores for rock, shad and herring, and plenty of wild fowl in season. It is believed by good judges, that the timber on the land, and fire wood, if cut ready for market, would com- mand a greater sum than is asked for the whole premises. Wood may be conveyed to the City of Washington with a fair wind in two tides, the distance being not more than 40 or 45 miles. This land, supposing the timber to be entirely taken off, would in the course of seven or eight years fast up thick with cedar, locust and pine. It would be a great acquisition to a grazier, the soil being admirably adapted to the culture of grass.— Apply to the subscriber near Aquia. V. PEYTON. Jan. 15, 1802. iaw2m
Office of Intelligence. THE dispersed situation of those who are established in the City of Washington, ren- ders intercourse and communication difficult and embarrassing, not only to themselves but to those who visit it, whether on business or for the purpose of settling. A variety of do- mestic and familiar facts are necessary to be acquired, and yet the acquisition of them some- times costs more labor, attention and expense, than matters of higher consequence. Hence in particular, many persons of moderate re- sources have greatly suffered, being under the immediate necessity of engaging in measures, and at the same time unprepared with the re- quisite information. It is on this account that the subscriber has been induced to offer to the patronage of the public an office of intelli- gence. In this office, those who reside in George Town, Alexandria, or the City of Washington, may at any time be informed of real property in any of those places either im- proved or unimproved entered here for sale; for which entries he keeps a regular set of books. Those who approve of this design in this particular, are requested to transmit him a designation of their property, and terms for the information of applicants. Persons who have houses to rent, and those being desirous of hiring houses will here find a greater mass of intelligence on that subject than they can derive from any other source. He has opened also, a set of books where persons desirous of employing others in any capacity what- ever may soon learn of those who will be will- ing to serve them, and the latter, on the other hand, will be enabled to learn of those, who wish to employ them. Strangers arriving at the metropolis may apply here for a most any kind of information whether in private or pub- lic business; and information will either be given or seasonably procured for them; hor- ses and carriages will be received on commis- sion for private sale, and personal property of any description whatever; bills of sale and other instruments of writing will be correctly and handsomely executed. The public must be well assured from an institution of this kind cannot prove generally useful without general encouragement.—That general encouragement he subscriber pledges himself to exert himself to deserve. Some charge will be made for every real information imparted, but as ex- orbitancy is always disgraceful, and the na- ture of such an institution requires modera- tion, he holds himself bound to give no dis- satisfaction on that score.
