FOURTH OF JULY!
The annual period again returns, which made us INDEPENDENT AND FREE . Thanks to the valour of our arms, and still more to the wisdom of our councils, the revolving period still finds us so. In 1776 we broke the chains of foreign tyranny. Since that era we have been employed in breaking domestic fetters, no less despotic, in which we were enslaved by our own prejudices, passions and vices. We have succeeded in the great attempt, not less splendid than the subversion of empire, and in virtue infinitely above the highest flight of military heroism.
Emanating from a government, monarchic in its form; part of an empire, whose ambition grasped the destiny of the world; our habits, though little corrupted by power, made us, as far as that power extended, the willing instruments of British aggrandizement. Our young hearts beat with ardour at the recollected achievements of British prowess, and uniting our happiness, our fortunes, and our lives with the glory of the mother country, we felt our highest rapture in the little portion of reflected lustre which fell to our share.
Under these circumstances, our ideas were borrowed and our habits servile. Overshadowed by her great example, our virtues, equally with our vices, were those of imitation. What England admired, we applauded; what she censured, we condemned; her friends we took to our bosom—her enemies excited and exercised all our resentment.
Were the philosophic mind called upon, practically to define a state of slavery, it could not point to a more convincing and decisive illustration.
Public opinion, in alliance with the gigantic power of Britain, threatened a perpetuity to our chains; but mighty is the power of truth, which must prevail. Error and vice in governments invariably lead to oppression; and oppression always leads to freedom; sometimes effected by the silent, and ever to be desired, operations of reason; but oftener, unfortunately, achieved amid the convulsions of a revolution.
Still the prize, infinite in value, can never be bought at too dear a price. For while the period of a revolution covers but a few fleeting years, that of despotism frequently borders on eternity.
These principles and truths were once familiar to Americans; they were once undisputed; and, however, from the temporary prevalence of error, they may have been forgotten by some of our fellow-citizens, we dare to say, with prophetic spirit, that their reign in this country will be eternal.
The energetic impulse, given by the Congress of 1776 to these principles, has imparted to them a force, which no opposition of error or power can ultimately prevent from progressing through the moral world.
In them man recognizes his only true happiness, and that happiness he will, he ought to possess. The power which created him bestowed it, and no human power can of right take it away.
Americans! Ye who estimate the value of civil liberty; ye, who, unswayed by all foreign prejudice, Gallic or Anglican, love your own country, and your own rights, and in such love acknowledge and respect the same sentiments in other climes, forget not by whom your independence and freedom were achieved.
The declaration of Independence emanated from no common mind. Ere made, it required all the deliberations of philosophy, a knowledge of the past, an acquaintance with the present, and a foresight of the future. The fate of a nation hung upon the decision. The illustrious band of statesmen, then convened, were awfully impressed with the crisis. They sought redress through the channels of peace; they exhausted the resources of humanity and remonstrance; and not until all these were ineffectually tried, did they conceive, or make that bold and solemn appeal to the world, which declared their country independent and free.
The sublime conception sprang from the energies of their own minds, and from a conviction in your virtue. They felt themselves the omnipotence of moral principle, and they thought they could make you feel it. They thought truly; and future events proved that their fellow-citizens felt like themselves. Illustrious sages! Ye particularly, who are now numbered with the dead, the gratitude of your country, the applause of a world, daily repeats your praises! FRANKLIN, first in the roll of fame, if conscious of our passing scene, what a triumph is yours! Surrounded by a Lee, a Rutledge, and a Rodney, your felicity still continues, as while with us, inseparable from the happiness of your fellow men. Perhaps, in addition to a knowledge of the past and present, science opens to your enraptured view the whole world on a future day united by the indissoluble ties of liberty and peace!
National gratitude! Awaken also to the claims of our departed heroes! They fought not for empire and vain glory. Associate them not, then, with the worthless rabble of warriors whom history only elevates to abhorrence. Our heroes seized their arms at their country's call, and at her call they laid them down;—still greater in peace than in war. WASHINGTON, thy country surrounds thee with a Greene, a Montgomery and a Mercer, and proudly presents the bright galaxy to the imitation of all nations.
Let us, fellow citizens, impressed by these great examples of statesmen and heroes, whose memory we have embalmed in our hearts—not unmindful of the talents and virtues of living coadjutors, whom, on some future day (may it be a distant one!) it will not be servility also to commemorate;—let us, fellow-citizens, impressed
by their bright example, celebrate this anniversary with rational rather than animal joy. Let not a day, which inspired in 1776 solemn, excite in 1801, light feelings. Instead of mingling in noisy scenes of riot and intoxication, let us surrender ourselves to reflections at once useful to ourselves and others.
Let us reflect, that, however divided we may be, in our opinions of particular men and measures, our interests are all the same; and that the surest way of lessening this division, and the certain way of rendering it harmless, is to tolerate a free and unreserved expression of our thoughts.
Let us compare our own state of society with that which exists in monarchies, and rejoice that we live in a republic.
Let us study and appreciate the superior benefits of our systems of government to those of Europe, in the protection of our rights as citizens among each other, and in our exemption from war while all Europe is crimsoned with blood.
Let us contemplate our republican system as perpetually progressing in improvement, while the systems of the old world are rapidly and unceasingly plunging deeper and deeper into follies and crimes.
Let us behold, in our country, under the administration of good laws, in general impartially applied, industry uniformly rewarded with support and profit, while in Europe, under bad laws, worse applied, labor scarcely supports animal life, and seldom produces any permanent benefit.
Let us felicitate ourselves on the freedom of our consciences, and our entire exemption from ecclesiastical tyranny, while a large portion of the old world still remains its slave.
These are reflections, calculated to enlarge the boundaries of intellect, and to kindle the most glowing feelings of virtue; and while their indulgence bestows individual felicity, they powerfully conspire to draw man closer to man, by shewing him that all virtue and all good are impartial and diffusive; that, like the light of heaven, and the boundless air, they produce good in proportion to their freedom, and that it is only when confined, that they subvert or impair, in tempests or volcanoes, the fair fabric of nature.
Declaration of Independence.
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776. WHEN in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
right of the people to alter or to abolish it and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present king of Great-Britain, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation 'till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature; a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the mean time, exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers, to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to the civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation;
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;
For imposing taxes on us without our consent;
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefit of trial by jury;
For transporting us beyond the seas to be tried for pretended offences;
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighbouring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it

at once an example and an instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into their colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
WE, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies, are, and of right ought to be, Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great-Britain, is, and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour.

LAW CASE.
FORREST
HANSON.
This was an action on the case, which came on this term before the judges of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Columbia in the county of Washington. The Plaintiff in this cause being clerk of the court, sued by a bill of privilege, and contended that by virtue of such privilege he was entitled to a trial the first term. Mr. Charles, Lee, Mr. Gantt and Mr. Woodward for the plaintiff, Semmes and Mr. Jones for the Defendant.
The right of the officers of this court to the privilege as allowed to the Superior Courts in England, and in the courts in Maryland, was very fully and ably discussed by the counsel in the cause. The court unanimously decided against the privilege. They considered the practice not as a part of the Common Law; but only as a right attached to certain courts in England. So far as the practice had been pursued by the courts in Maryland under the charter, the court were not obliged to recognize the privilege. It operates to the prejudice of other persons; and they conceived it proper to be abolished.
The papers of South Carolina announce the establishment of an Academy in Fairfield District, in that state, called Jefferson Monticello Academy.
In the election of a federal Senator for New Hampshire in the room of Mr. Livermore, Simeon Olcott had 87 votes, John Langdon had 54, and 4 votes were scattered.
Extract of a letter from Dr. T. Hodson, Lewes, (England) to Dr. Dinmore, dated July 31, 1800.
"I have sent you some vaccine matter on a piece of cotton in case you should have an opportunity of making trial of it, but if you should, I am fearful it will not keep good, as it does not keep so well as the variolous. You have no doubt seen
some account of the Vaccine disease or Cow-Pox; but in case you should not have seen any treatise on the subject, I will give you a brief account of it. Cows are subject to a disease which appears on their nipples in the form of Pustules; matter taken from these Pustules and applied as an inoculation for the Small-Pox, produces a Pustule on the arm very much resembling that from inoculation for the Small-Pox, and a disease without any eruption which renders the person afterwards secure against the Small-Pox. The disease in question is perfectly safe and much milder than the small-pox by inoculation, and a circumstance which renders it of still greater importance in situations where people are not allowed to inoculate at their own houses, is, that it is not to be communicated by effluvia. The only inconvenience attending the Vaccine disease is, that at the decline of the pustule it sometimes happens that more inflammation of the arm takes place than could be wished, but this is very easily controlled by the use of Saturnine water. This wonderful and benign disease has been so readily embraced in this country, that I have no doubt but that in a very few years the small-pox will be totally supplanted by it."
The whole number of inhabitants in Connecticut is 251,002.
By the late census, it appears that the state of North Carolina will be entitled to 14 representatives in Congress, in place of 10; and a surplus remain of 10,000 souls.
Two frigates arrived at Guadalupe, on the 29th May from L'Orient, having on board rear admiral G. la Crosse, and a commandant general for the forces of that colony, together with 600 troops, and four millions in specie.
From the Boston Chronicle.
RESTORATION OF THE L'BERCEAU.
On Monday inst. the United States through the medium of the navy agent, delivered up to the citizen GIRAUD, the consul of the French republic, the Corvette the L'Berceau.
The ceremony on the occasion was conducted with great propriety and affection by each of the high parties. The navy agent for the United States addressed the consul in a short but comprehensive speech, which received a very animated and appropriate reply. The French flag was then hoisted, under a discharge of 21 guns; it was instantly saluted by a like number from the frigate Constitution, Silas Talbot, Esq. commander. The consul invested the citizen Michelan with the command of the corvette, who invited the agent and his attendants, together with the French consul and his suit, to an elegant collation provided on board for the occasion; at which, amongst others the following toasts were given by the French officers:
1. The United States. 2. The President. 3. The navy of the United States.
Captain Michelan saluted the agent on quitting the corvette by a discharge of 13 guns.
DIED.
At his seat near Raleigh (N. C.) William Jones, of Halifax in the sixty-first year of his age. It may be held unnecessary to speak of a life and character so generally known and respected as Mr. Jones's: With regard to him, who will long continue to live in the hearts and affections of his country, it is undoubtedly unnecessary to speak of no moment to do so; but with respect to those who survive him, it may have its use; inasmuch as it may lead to an imitation of those virtues, and of that conduct, which so deservedly raised and established him in the estimation of all. Passing over, therefore, his engaging and social turn, his friendly and hospitable disposition, his domestic and his public virtues, we will mention his acknowledged liberality of sentiment and benevolence towards his fellow-men, his uniform and zealous attachment to the Rights and Liberties of his Country and his long and able public services, as well before, as during and since the American Revolution, as being particularly worthy of imitation, and as justly placing him among the first of men, and first of patriots. He died as he lived, a steady, fixed and firm Republican; omitting no occasion, even in his last moments, of manifesting the concern he felt and the interest he took, in the preservation of the liberty, happiness and prosperity of his Country. In fine, it may with strictest truth be said, that Carolina has not produced a Son of greater mental endowments that Mr. Jones, not one who lived more universally
and deservedly respected, or died more affectionately and sincerely regretted.

PRESUMING that the intelligence contained in my letter to Thomas Fitzsimmons, Esq. Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Philadelphia, in answer to his, requesting it, will be acceptable to you, I have the honor to transmit a copy thereof, for the information of the merchants of your city.
I have the honor to be,

[COPY.]
Navy Department, June 4th, 1801.
Sir,
THE Secretary of State has referred your letter of the 3d inst. to this department. I hasten to give you the information you require.
It appears that early in 1800 the government of the United States were apprized that the Bashaw of Tripoli shewed a disposition hostile to the United States, which disposition was known at Department of State to bear a menacing appearance, in the autumn of that year. On the 13th of March, the first copy of Mr. Cathcart's letter of the 18th of October, was received at the Department of State, in which he reports the following declaration of the Bashaw of Tripoli:—"I now desire you to inform your government that I will wait six months for an answer to my letter to the President; and if it did not arrive in that period, and if it was not satisfactory, if it did arrive, that I will declare war in form against the United States." I answered that it was absolutely impossible to receive answers at that time. The Bashaw answered, "I will wait for answers from your President, but I expect when he sends his answers, that they will be such as will empower you to conclude with me immediately; if they are not, I will capture your vessels."
About the 20th of March the President determined on sending a squadron to the Mediterranean, of which commodore Truxtton, then commanding the frigate President was informed on the 23d. On the 31st of March, and 1st of April, the commanders of the Philadelphia, Essex and Enterprise were ordered to prepare their ships for a cruise, to rendezvous at Hampton Roads, from whence they expected to sail on the 10th of May.
Notwithstanding every exertion, they did not all assemble until the 28th of that month. A letter of the 29th, from commodore Dale, (now commanding the squadron, consisting of two ships of 44 guns, one of 32 guns, and a schooner of 12 guns,) informs, that he should sail on the first day of this month.
The squadron will rendezvous at Gibraltar, and will act agreeably to circumstances. and the information the commodore may receive. His orders are, to give convoy to the American commerce, when applied for, and when he can do it with propriety.
This force is deemed fully adequate to the destruction of the naval power of Tripoli, and to meet the navies of Algiers and Tripoli united. When captain Bainbridge left Algiers, the conduct of the dey had a friendly appearance; by the last letter from consul O'Brien, he seemed soured at the delay of payment from the United States. It is true, that the United States are in arrears to that regency, near three years annuities. The arrival of the squadron before Algiers, and the assurance of punctual payments in future, will, it is presumed, prevent the Dey of Algiers from committing hostilities. If he should, the two 44 gun ships are deemed fully competent to the blockading of his port. That of Tripoli is contemptible. The Bashaw has but one ship carrying 18 guns—the few other vessels that he possesses are of 12 guns and under.
Recent accounts which have been published, indicate that the Bashaw of Tripoli would not wait the President's answer, and that there is reason to fear he has declared war.
The squadron having failed, convoy cannot now be offered. It would perhaps have been imprudent to have suffered it to be delayed by waiting to convoy. It was thought that its early arrival in the Mediterranean, was of too much consequence to suffer anything to create delay.
I am, Sir, &c.

LONDON, April 13.
Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb.
A very numerous and respectable company of the friends and supporters of this benevolent institution dined together at the London Tavern on Friday last, the Right Honorable the Lord Mayor in the chair. After an excellent dinner, which did honor to the gentlemen who acted as stewards, and to the tavern, we witnessed a spectacle most truly interesting to every one who feels as a man, a Briton, a philosopher or a Christian. About forty children, male and female, at present under tuition in this asylum, were introduced; health glowing on their cheeks, and intelligent satisfaction sparkling in their eyes; they exhibited specimens of their penmanship and progress in arithmetic, and gave proofs of their acquisitions in written and articulate language by the pertinent answers they returned to questions put to them, and some of them speaking some lines prepared for the occasion in so distinct and audible a manner that all present acknowledged their surprise and satisfaction at being able clearly to comprehend words uttered by those who never heard an articulate sound, and who, previous to their admission here, were unable to make one. This pleasing and grateful spectacle being withdrawn, success to the institution was drank with enthusiasm, and in the course of the afternoon many of donations and annual subscriptions were announced by the worthy and reverend Secretary, amounting in all to between six and seven hundred pounds: he also communicated the pleasing information that a manufactory is erected at the Asylum, in the Grange Road, Bermondsey; so that the labour of the hands is combined with the improvement of the head and heart, and this unfortunate class of beings rendered, not merely intelligent, but industrious members of the community. Though the immediate occasion of the meeting engrossed so much attention, it ought to be noticed that loyal and constitutional toasts and sentiments were not forgotten. Never do we remember to have heard more bursts of applause than when his Majesty's health was proposed from the chair, plainly discovering the warmest affection for the best of Kings.
