Domestic Articles. [The following excellent remarks on the prevailing rage for migration, are by no means confined in their application to the case before us.] AUGUSTA, April 4.
JUDGE WALTON'S CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY OF WASHINGTON. Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, IN visiting a county in the courts of which I have been accustomed to preside, I feel myself involuntarily reminded of the character which has given to it a name. A name rendered still more dear by a recent instance. In the critical and alarming situation in which we have been placed by the aggression, the violence and injustice of a nation to which we had been allied, it was found necessary, on the part of the general government, to resort to the most vigorous measures of defence. Among others, to raise armies; and the great Washington—the name a host—has been appointed to, and has accepted the command.
Near half a century ago, having saved the remnant of the British army at Braddock's defeat, a preacher of the Gospel, exclaimed from the pulpit in Virginia—"Who knows but this young man has been spared and designed by Providence to be one day theavior of his country!" This was the language of inspiration, and of prophecy: so proved by the progress of time, and of events. We all know that he was afterwards, by the voice of three millions of people, called to the command of an army of his countrymen; and conducted it, through a great and perilous revolution, in the midst of difficulties and danger, to complete and final success, without injury or wound. But in my mind, his now consenting again to take the field, upon the present occasion, at the patriarchal age of near three score years and ten, is the most illustrious action of his life.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, Having something to say to you as fellow citizens, I will confine myself to officially laying before you the charges which I have already delivered on this circuit; and request that you will consider them as equally addressed to yourselves. They contain my sense of an innovation upon the department; the particular duties of grand juries; and the general objects of courts: to restore which to their primitive purity, is my sincere desire.
And now, Gentlemen, a word to you as friends; on that spirit of remove, and for new countries, which seems to have taken such hold on the minds of my countrymen. For many years past it has that spirit agitated men to that degree, as to induce them to leave comfortable homes and establishments, in this state, and to remove, at great expence, trouble, and inconvenience to their families, to the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Cumberland settlement, each of them very inconveniently situated for trade: but the most sage and judicious of these have returned. I admit that the upper part of Tennessee, below the warm Springs, that is between the Cumberland mountains, and the main continental base of them, dividing that state from North-Carolina, to be a fine, healthy country: perhaps, it is the Italy of America: but all the valuable land is monopolized, and not to be obtained. This is very much the case in Kentucky; and experience has shown, that it is not as healthy there as here. With respect to the lower part of Tennessee, or the Cumberland settlement, the lands are rich, and may yet be obtained at a moderate price; but the country is extremely sickly; and great numbers have already left it on that account. The township, called Smithland, near the mouth of Cumberland river, which Cox attempted to erect and settle, presented, last fall, the most miserable spectacles of distress and sorrow. This I learned, when over the mountains last year, from general report, several letters which I saw, and from the examination of a man who was an eye witness to the scene.—That of one hundred and forty persons, old and young, and of either sex, there were not a sufficient number well enough to attend the dead, the dying, and the sick.
And yet, surprising as the thing is, this spirit of emigration, has lately, in this country, received fresh vigor. This has been the effect of the establishment of a government, called the Mississippi Territory, east of the river of that name, and north of the Spanish boundary, by the government of the United States. I also admit, that this is the Nile and the Egypt of the new world; there the warmth of the climate, the natural richness of the soil, and the most depopulations of the floods, create, it is true, a wonderful fertility: but which afford, at the same time, the means of a noxious exhalation; poisoning the atmosphere; exciting fever, and producing debility, in the human system; and thus destroying by flow, but sure degrees, the vital principle. I do not, therefore, hesitate to hazard the conjecture, that the first emigrations to that country will be sickly, and short lived, and will decrease of their numbers. And although it will be supplied by fresh emigrations, such will continue to be the state of existence, and of population, for two or three ages to come; and until a generation shall grow up there, and be constituted, as it were, by the climate and the soil, and by the habits of several regular descents. In these opinions I feel myself favoured, by the history of the resembling region of the old world: but facts have already arisen to justify them in that of the new.
During my long mission to the Cherokees last year, I had the best means of information. I there learned, that great numbers of the new emigrants, at the Natchez, had sickened; that some had died; and that there was considerable mortality in the army sent to defend the territory.
I have been the particular, from the great regard I have for the people of this state; and from the fullest conviction that they are better where they are. We have a finer climate, purer water, and more health. Our soil, from sufficient experience, has been found equal to an ample reward to the industrious husbandman. Our markets are convenient, and the navigation good; and, that commerce flourishes is seen by the plenty of money and the high prices of our produce. To abandon such a state of things, for a country of flooded wilderness, covered with the unkindly skies, is the madness or folly, and the domestic mischief of a restless spirit.
Let my fellow citizens, therefore, be content in their own state. I beg pardon, however, for going so far. They are free to act for themselves; and I will only add, that, what I have said, is the result of diligent enquiry, and of the maturest reflection: having for its basis, the best intention, to prevent distress. Washington county, March 28, 1799.
GEORGIA. The State vs. Swilly. The same vs. James McKenzie. The defendants were bound over to appear at this term, upon a charge of passing counterfeit bank notes of the United States. Before the grand jury was discharged, the solicitor-general stated to the court, that he had doubts of the propriety of proceeding in the state court; and that those doubts were founded upon a two fold principle. 1st. Whether it was not an offence more properly cognizable by the federal jurisdiction; and, 2dly, the difficulty of ascertaining the counterfeit by any adequate testimony in the possession of the state officers: he, therefore, prayed the direction of the court.
Upon this, counsel rose for the defendants, and urged the exercise of the state jurisdiction; upon the ground, that the privilege of the defendants was the right of being tried by their peers; and moreover that it was not good policy in the state jurisdiction to diminish its own, by surrendering any part of it to that of the federal.
The court said; this is an offence against the United States, the legislature of which had enacted laws giving to their tribunals power to punish: it is, therefore, more properly cognizable in them. It is more so, on account of the mock trial which might take place here, according to the suggestion. Without assuming the guilt of the defendants, the crime charged is of the most heinous nature: it strikes at the root of commerce, of public credit, and of confidence. The charge ought, therefore, to be inquired into, where justice is most likely to be obtained by the community, as well as by the individuals. That will be in the circuit court at Savannah, where juries of their peers will pass upon them, as well as they would here.
As to the policy of the thing, this court is governed by law; and has nothing to do with the policy of measures. It views the general government as the aggregate and supreme power of the union; and of which this state is an integral part. It views it as the bulwark, the strength, and the safety, of all the states, and the people thereof. The officers of the state governments are not only bound by the constitution of the union, and of the states, to support the general government: but they have taken oaths to do so. Supporting the constitution and laws of the United States, is therefore supporting the Constitution and laws of this state; and the harmony of both would be disturbed by fostering these jealousies.
But, assuming the question upon political ground, for a moment, the influence would be the same, and equally palpable. Our agriculture invites and creates commerce; both produce wealth to the individual, and to the state. Bank paper is a light, portable and useful representative of the specie depositories of the large cities in the Union. Our ancestors, and ourselves, have found it a most convenient medium in trade. To suffer it to lose its worth, by a want of a due execution of the laws; would, therefore, be the worst of policy.
Let the defendants be recognized to appear at the next Circuit court at Savannah, principals in 1000 dollars; and two securities in 500 each. And in failure thereof be committed to jail; and the sheriff apply to the commanding officer of the militia for a sufficient guard to carry them before the federal judge of this district.

By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, April 23.
Just as our paper was preparing for press, a gentleman who came passenger in the ship Suffolk, arrived yesterday evening in 42 days from Liverpool, politely furnished us with Glasgow papers to the 2d of March, and Liverpool papers to the 4th.
This gentleman informs us that the difficulties in Ireland, excepting such as related to the proposed union between that country and England, had entirely subsided.
To a gentleman of this city we are indebted for a file of London papers, of a date anterior to those above mentioned. The lateness of the hour at which they were received prevents our giving them a minute examination. From a hasty inspection we find very little of real information in them. The details which follow are from those of the latest date.
In the course of this day we shall pay them particular attention; and should we be able to glean any thing of consequence, the readers of the Mercantile Advertiser shall be in possession of it to-morrow morning.
M. A.
LONDON, Feb. 27.
Packet office, 4 o'clock.
We stop the press to state, that an express has just been received at Lord Grenville's office, which, we are assured, brings the pleasant intelligence, that the Proserpine frigate is safe, with all her crew; and that Mr. Grenville and his suite landed on the Continent early in the month.
Some irregular sets of French papers, to the 18th inst. reached town yesterday by way of Holland; and likewise some Leyden papers were received by the same conveyance. These Gazettes tend to confirm the report, concerning the order issued by the French directory, for the requisition of new levies of men. A similar order has been issued by the Batavian republic, ordaining, "That all citizens, without exception, are enjoined to serve in person in the armies. No one is to be exempted from this duty, nor allowed to find substitutes. Old age, corporal infirmities, and administrative employments are the only exemptions. All citizens, from the age of 20 to 30, are to serve in the first conscript for the present year."
The execution of these regulations is to be hastened as much as possible.
Letters from Luxembourg state, that orders have been sent thither, for transporting from the arsenal of that fortress all the heavy artillery fit for service, which is to be sent across the Rhine.
The Moniteur of the 17th inst. mentions a decree of the directory, ordering all commanding officers, without the territories of the republic to send away from every cantonment and camp all women who are useful to the armies. Such women are deemed useless who are not employed in washing, or in filling provisions and liquor.
Letters from Milan, of the 3d inst. mention, that the Russians have been repulsed in repeated attacks made on the principal fort in the island of Corfu, which is said to rival Toulon in strength. The French are making great exertions to save that island.
On the 16th the directory sent a message to the two councils as follows:
"The Ottoman Porte, informed that the expedition to Egypt was only directed against its real enemies, had begun to look upon it with a favorable eye; but it was soon led astray by the perfidious insinuations of Britain and the coalesced powers. The war which it has declared against its ancient and faithful allies, has been the fruit of this error, and will lead to its total ruin. It has drawn the Barbary powers into a war with France."
"The French government has adopted measures of reprisal, and it gives you notice of having done so."
It is reported that the king of Prussia has consented to allow the Russian troops a free passage through his dominions.
Letters from Madrid, of the 8th inst. state, that, according to the general opinion of the best informed people, the expedition of the French against Portugal will not take place.
The court of Madrid has not refused the passage of the republican army, as stated by some of the papers; but certain arrangements have been made between that and the cabinet of Luxembourg, which will have the same effect. The letters of which we speak say, that the court of Madrid has bought off that passage to dangerous to Spain, by a sum of money to be given to the French government, and to which the court of Lisbon is to contribute its proportion.
Ships that have come in from sea represent the weather during the early part of last week to have been more than usually tempestuous. The following is an extract of a letter from on board the Cambrian frigate: "On Wednesday last, the 20th, we encountered a most tremendous gale in the Channel, with thunder and lightning. A fire-ball fell upon the fore-castle, which unfortunately killed two men and wounded 17. Two are strick blind, one of them is raving mad. The scene was so awful that we all expected immediate destruction."
LLOYD'S LIST.
The republican, Simpson, from Baltimore, is taken by a French privateer, and carried into Corunna.
The Aurora, from Savannah to London, is taken and carried into Corunna.
The Sarah, Cooper, from New-York to London, is captured by a French privateer, and carried into Corunna.
The Adventure, Perady, from N. York, is sunk in Dublin harbor, supposed from getting on an anchor.
GLASGOW, March 2.
Thirteen Hamburg mails are now due. We are happy, however, to learn, that dispatches have been received at Lord Grenville's office, containing an account of the
safe arrival of Mr. Grenville in the Proserpine frigate, on the Continent early in February.
It is rumored that count Bellegarde has been sent by the emperor to Paris to negotiate a definitive peace. The Turks and Russians are said to have been defeated in their attack upon the island of Corfu.
From the New York Daily Advertiser.
Just as our paper was prepared for the press, we received by the ship Jean. Capt Gardner, 49 days from Greenock, Glasgow Couriers to the 5th of March, inclusive. The lateness of the hour we received them, prevents our giving more than the following this day. Further Extracts to-morrow.
PARIS, Feb. 10.
As no sufficient details have been yet published respecting the conquests of the kingdom of Naples, the following may prove interesting. The army of Rome, stopped for a moment by the sudden want of provisions, was obliged to suspend its rapid career. Its impatient courage was turned into indignation and fury against the neglect of the commissaries, who had occasioned its inaction; when the general succeeded in skillfully directing the rage of the troops against the enemy. "Your magazines (he exclaimed) are at Naples." "Let us then (they replied) march on to Naples." Capua was instantly carried by assault, and the remains of the Neapolitan army which had been rallied by fame and despair fell under the point of the French bayonet, and covered the Vulture, and six leagues of the road to Naples with their bodies. Behind them were posted the Lazzaroni, the devoted supporters of the expiring Monarchy. Sixty thousand of them were killed and the French, satiated with slaughter, planted the standard of Liberty in Naples. Their entrance into Naples produced a new engagement, and houses from which the inhabitants fired on our troops were burnt.

PLYMOUTH, Feb. 28.
Arrived La Nancy, French Cartel, from Rochelle, and has brought over the crew of the Ambuscade frigate, lately captured by La Bayonnaise French frigate. Capt Jenkins, late commander of the Ambuscade, is not arrived in the cartel, his wounds being such, that a removal is not deemed prudent for the present; he is however, recovering very fast, and may soon be expected in Britain. A corporal and a private, Irishmen, of the marines, are said to have entered into the French service.
DUBLIN, Feb. 28.
Extract of a letter from an officer at Galway, dated 23d February.
"I am sorry to tell you that the state of this country is as bad as possible, notwithstanding what was said the other night in the House, by some well informed gentlemen. The loss of this country alone by housing is computed to have amounted in the last three weeks to upwards of 60,000. We have, at present 80 prisoners in goal for that crime, and a court martial will commence to morrow for their trial. As much as possible of the beef and mutton destroyed in this way is beyond doubt; carried off, and salted up as store for the Rebel army when it shall rise, and by threatening letters many persons have been obliged to deposit in different places considerable sums in guineas for carrying on the war. In short, I think we shall soon have another brush."

NEWFIELD, MARCH 19.
On Saturday night last, the Ship Mary, of New-York, capt. Dobson, ran on to what is called the middle ground off this harbour, and stuck fast. On Saturday a sloop from this place, and a schr. from Stratford, went to her relief; but before they arrived, the ship's people found it necessary to cut away her masts. The people and a part of her cargo was taken out on Sunday night. The wind coming on to blow, the sloop and schooner were obliged to quit the wreck yesterday morning. Her bowline and head were all that could be seen of her, from the heights near this place last evening, so that is probable she is entirely lost.
There has been much dispute respecting the existence of the above mentioned shoal. The above disaster is proof positive that there is such a place; and we are informed by those who have been on it that it lies nearly due south from Stratford point, and that it is nearest the middle of the sound. Some say it has been seen bare at low water, but it is well ascertained, that there is generally not more than four or five feet water on it. The extent of the shoal we cannot learn—but hope people may be spirited enough next summer to explore it, and ascertain its extent and true bearings.

Yesterday afternoon, returned to the city, Brigadier General Macpherson, Commander in Chief of the forces lately employed against the Northampton rebels, accompanied by Robert G. Harper, Esq. Volunteer Aide, and Captains Henry and Cochran, of the United States Artillery.
The 1st. Company of Volunteer Cavalry, in the service of the United States, and the Old City Troop, returned with the General; the 2d. Volunteer Cavalry and the Greens, which had returned the preceding day, went out and joined the line, this side Germantown.
Captain Taylor's Volunteer Artillery, the Volunteer Grenadiers, and the Battalion of Blues, under the command of Major M'Euen, marched out to Spring Garden, and being drawn up in a line, saluted the General as he passed. A large concourse of people, whom the occasion had assembled, also received him with reiterated shouts. The General having passed the line of Infantry, they filed off by sections, joined the cavalcade, and escorted him to his quarters in Eight-street, where he retired amidst the customary honors of the Military, and the again-repeated shouts of the multitude.
Should the Great Democratic Judge be disappointed in his expected Government application may be made to the King of Spain, by his son-in-law for the now vacant seat in the island of Barataria, where it is presumed that Don Thomaso M'Kane will in point of judgment excel even the renowned Don Sancho himself.
The French counter-revolutionists in the mountains of the Cevennes, in Lower Languedoc, have of late became very formidable, according to the Madrid accounts, they have a number of priests and Chouan officers among them, and are well supplied with arms. This place was the retreat of the Camisard rebels in the last century.
A gentleman who arrived yesterday from the Havana, (which place he left the 11th inst.) brings a further confirmation of the assassination of the capt. and crew of the ship Ocean. He understood the intelligence had been officially received at the Havana.
He also informs, that the French have a fortress on the west side of the Island, defended by 40 pieces of cannon. Three hundred runaway negroes and two hundred whites compose the garrison; the blacks were liberated to induce them to join the French.
It was reported that the Delaware sloop of war, capt. Decatur, was in close chase of a French cutter privateer, out of the Havana, mounting 16 nine pounders. Being within two leagues of her at the time the gentleman left the Havana, it is possible that she overtook her.
The Spaniards were very apprehensive of an invasion from the British. All the regular troops were placed in the Moro and other fortifications, and the city was guarded by the militia.

ITS situation (Switzerland's) is correctly and energetically drawn in the picture of Albe , left us by a writer of the middle ages, after the invasion of Alaric . It is the empty and bloody skin of an immolated victim! She has nothing left but ROCKS, RUINS and DEMAGOGUES!
Preface, p. 5.
"That the people of the United States may profit by the errors and calamities of Switzerland, is the object of the present undertaking. Here, the same means are employed, the same engines set at work, which, in their destructive progress, annihilated the Helvetic Union and Liberty.
