TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA. Fellow Citizens,
IN some parts of our country, dissatisfaction has been excited in the minds of many, with the conduct of Congress at their last session in the passing two laws known by the names of the Alien Law and Sedition Law. It is ever desirable that things should be seen in their true light, and especially those features whose constitutionality is seriously drawn in question, by men whose opinions are respected in society. I have lately seen a remonstrance against these laws proposed to the people of Albermarle for their signatures, and addressed to the Senate and House of Representatives, which has every appearance of study and deliberation. It is supposed to have proceeded from the pen of
and it contains such a representation of the objections to these laws as might alarm and mislead some of the best intentioned and best affected men among us towards the General Government. The objections ought not to pass unnoticed, and I have waited in the hope that some writer more competent to the task would have undertaken their refutation. It is for this purpose alone, and not to awaken party spirit or political zeal, that I shall trouble the public with some observations on the Albermarle remonstrance.
Against the Alien Law it is singly objected that the power of sending alien friends out of our territory was never vested in the government of the United States. To maintain the objection the remonstrance particularly recites the powers given to Congress, as enumerated in the eighth section of the first article, and asserts that the law is warranted by none of them, and if warranted by none of them, concludes that it is unconstitutional.
It is remarkable that the writer of this elaborate performance, who certainly bestowed much consideration on the subject, never, in his researches in the Constitution, adverted to the fourth section of the fourth article; and this is the more unaccountable, when we are assured that "in all its parts it had been examined."
The fourth section of the fourth article has ordained that "the United States shall guarantee to every state in the Union, a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when convened) against domestic violence." Here the duty of "protecting each state from invasion," is expressly imposed on the United States. To discharge this duty, the United States are bound not only to repel invaders after they shall have entered our territory, but to prevent, if possible, an actual invasion. The means necessary and proper to protect from invasion, whether by repelling or preventing it, are to be decided by Congress. The last clause of the 8th section of the first article has given them the power "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof." In passing this law, then, Congress passed a law that was necessary and proper for carrying into execution the power vested in the United States to protect each of the states from foreign invasion.
It was passed on the 25th day of June last, when the most serious apprehensions were entertained that France, whose decrees and conduct were, and yet are, hostile to the United States, would send an army and invade some part of our country, where it was weakest; perhaps some of the southern or western states. Under this impression we find a considerable addition has been made to the army of the United States, and the President was authorized still further to augment it in the event of a declaration of war, or actual invasion, or of imminent danger of such invasion, by calling into service a number of troops not exceeding ten thousand men. At this time there were a great number of alien Frenchmen dispersed various parts of the United States, capable of bearing arms; and some of them were justly suspected to be emissaries and spies for the Directory of France, employed to send intelligence of what was passing in our country. The number of these alien Frenchmen exceeded, at the lowest estimate, 20 thousand men, ready to join the French standard, whenever it should be erected on our land.
Would it have been prudent or safe, under these circumstances, to have been without a law that authorized the removal of aliens dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States? Ought congress, who are bound "to protect each state from invasion," to have taken no measures for authorizing the removal of the aliens, whose presence held out the strongest inducement to France to attempt an invasion? In the situation of America will it be said that this law was not a proper one to prevent an invasion? Was not the probability of invasion lessened by depriving France of the assistance which might have been attained and would be expected from alien Frenchmen in the bosom of our country? It was then with the view to protect us from invasion that the law was passed, and wisely passed, which empowered the President to "order such aliens as he shall judge dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States or shall have reasonable grounds to sus-
pect are concerned in any treasonable or secret machinations against the government thereof to depart out of the territory of the United States." This my fellow citizens is the law which is confidently pronounced in the Albermarle remonstrance to be unauthorised by our constitution, and which from "a solicitude for the constitution" you are called upon to declare a violation of that sacred instrument. This is the law which you are desired "to censure for unconstitutionality which by no candid interpretation," can be justified; this is the law of which you are called upon to declare in words of the remonstrance, "to the text then of the constitution we appeal in all its parts; we have examined it; in none do we read the delegation of an authority competent to the execution of either of those laws." Before you make this declaration I pray you to pause and consider: be not content to read those parts of the constitution only to which the remonstrance refers, but read and consider that section which either by accident or design it has omitted, but which is now brought before your view. VIRGINIENS.
NUMBER II. TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA. Fellow Citizens,
I HAVE submitted to your view those parts of the constitution of the government of the United States in the very words of it, and my interpretation of them, which I trust will shield the Alien Law from the objection of unconstitutionality. I shall not resort to any other parts of that instrument for success, but will offer some further considerations to support and maintain that interpretation.
The States of America form a complete sovereign nation, in their united not their several capacity; most especially in their relations with foreign powers and to foreigners. There can be no complete sovereignty without the power of removing aliens; and the exercise of such a power is an indispensable incident to the nation. The salus populi , which is the supreme law requires it. It is a power necessary for the protection of the people in their properties, liberties and lives. If the terms of the constitution were less explicit than we find them in granting to Congress the power "to protect each of the states from invasion," on this principle it might reasonably be contended that the power was vested in Congress to remove aliens. Upon the present occasion, I recur to this principle only to corroborate the interpretation which has been given of the fourth section of the fourth article, that if any doubts may have remained as to its correctness they may be dispelled. It proves that the interpretation of the express words is consonant to the reason, spirit, and intent of the constitution, and therefore must be
Should this reasoning and application be sufficient to prove, satisfactorily, that the government of the United States were authorised to pass the alien law, they will obtain the and for which they have been written. But let them not be misunderstood; they are not to be understood to establish the doctrine that each state may not expel or remove such aliens as it may deem necessary for its particular safety. The government of the United States may exercise the power of removing aliens, dangerous to the general safety; and each state may exercise a like power over aliens dangerous to itself. These powers are not incompatible in practice. This, I hope, will not be controverted, when we attend to the actual state of things in Virginia. A law is now in force, in our state, passed in the year 1792, which enacts, "that it shall and may be lawful for the governor, with the advice of the council of state, to apprehend and secure, or cause to be apprehended and secured, or compelled to depart this commonwealth, all suspicious persons, being the subjects of any foreign power or state, who shall have made a declaration of war, or actually commenced hostilities against the the said states, or from whom the President of the United States shall apprehend hostile designs against the said states, provided information thereof shall have been previously received by the executive from him, and in all such cases the governor, with the advice of the council or state, shall, and he is hereby empowered to send for the person and papers of any foreigner within this state, in order to obtain such information as he shall judge necessary." All sheriffs and gaolers shall receive such suspicious persons, whom by warrant from the governor, they shall be commanded to receive, and them in their prisons or custody to detain or transport out of the commonwealth, as by such warrant may be commanded."
Between the alien law of the United States and this law of the state of Virginia, there is no collision. Their aim and policy is, in principle, the same; and the latter is no more a violation of the constitution of the state, than the former violation of the constitution of the United States. Each is a like constitutional; and of the two the Virginia law is the most arbitrary.
Here we behold an example set by Virginia for the removal of suspicious aliens out of its territory, and the United States have done no more than authorised by their law, the removal of suspected aliens out of the territory of the United States. Here we find a legislative provision made by our own state for compelling to depart the commonwealth all suspicious persons, subjects of a foreign power, from whom the president of the United States, shall apprehend hostile designs against the said states, provided information thereof shall have been previously received by the executive from him. This law of the state is in aid of the protection which the United States are bound to afford to each state, against invasion or domestic insurrection; and therefore it is not derogatory to the people.

tory of or inconsistent with, the powers vested in the general government. As the United States and each state may call out the militia of state to suppress an insurrection each state respectively, to the United States and each state may exercise the power of removing aliens out of each state respectively. In these cases there may be a concurrence of power for the same end the safety of the people.
Nor from these observations is it to be inferred, that if congress have a power to remove aliens out of the United States in a summary way, they have the like power to remove citizens. A citizen is a party to the social compact, which has conferred on him certain rights of which he may not be arbitrarily deprived, but an alien is not a member of the society; among these citizens has a right to remain in the territory of the United States, unless he commits an offence for which that right is forfeited by law; and if charged with such offence, he would be entitled to a speedy trial by an impartial jury, as in other cases. The citizens consequently have no cause of disquietude in consequence either of the law of congress or of the law of Virginia, authorizing the removal of aliens.
Having made these explanations, I shall detain you no longer on the constitutional basis of the alien law, which I hope has been shown to your entire satisfaction. That it has produced very beneficial effects in strengthening our country at this perilous time, will scarcely be doubted. In consequence of it a great many alien Frenchmen, and among them the notorious emilia y Volney, have left America, from a fear that it might be executed on them. They were conscious that they would, if in their power, join the standard of France whenever it should be erected within our territory; and they reasonably concluded it was latest and most convenient for them to go immediately out of our country before they were ordered.
This, my fellow citizens, is a candid view of the alien law, which has given occasion to so much clamour among us, and which some of you, from the misrepresentation made of it in the Albemarle remonstrance, might be induced to reprobate as a violation of our invaluable constitution. The appeal is made to you. Does it afford any just cause of complaint? On the contrary is it not a new proof of the vigilance and wisdom of Congress anxious to protect our favoured country from foreign invasion?

ADDRESS
Of the LORD MAYOR of LONDON, TO THE LIVERY.
Sir Richard Carr Glyn, being invested in the Insignia of Office, came forward upon the Husting and addressed the Livery to the following effect:-
"Gentlemen of the Livery, You have done me the honor to place me in the high and dignified situation of Lord Mayor, the most important which the citizens of London can bestow - a situation of the highest trust and greatest consequence. For this mark of your confidence and esteem, I have to return to you my grateful thanks. When I first determined to accept a magisterial office in this city, I had no object of ambition in my view, and my only motive was, a desire of duty to my country, and a desire to join in the conduct of a good government; with this feeling, I have given up a great part of my time and attention to the public duties of a magistrate; and I cannot help lamenting that this obligation which I feel bearing upon me, and which compels me to take my share of public toil, is not more properly felt than it is by merchants and other principal gentlemen in this city. I have, however, consented to take an active part in public affairs; in doing so, I am aware I must, for the next year, renounce all inclination to private indulgencies, in order to dedicate my time and attention to the public service of my fellow citizens; and this I shall readily do in the present anxious state of public affairs - a state which demands, of every man, every exertion he is able to make, and of which the public stand in need. It shall be the first object of my attention to watch over and to preserve the peace and tranquillity of this city; and then to secure the property, and protect the persons of my fellow citizens; and I have earnestly to request of you, gentlemen, and also of all other the inhabitants of this great city, to lend your best assistance when called for in aid of the civil power. I have now served the city of London, in a magisterial station, for eight years. I hope I know the privileges of this ancient city. I know that to the preservation of these privileges, is to be impeded your great advantages and immense power, and which can continue only while the City Rights are unimpaired. Your pre-eminence, and the pre-eminence of this country, will continue while the choice of your corporation, and of the other corporations of the kingdom remain pure and upright. Gentlemen, I trust that at the head of my magisterial office, I shall return to you the privileges of the city unadulterated, unimpaired and unaltered; and determined as I am to do that which is honourable as a man, and that which is just as a magistrate; and I trust that my errors will never be imputed to the heart, but will be regarded among those failings that every man, more or less, is liable to. I hope I know how to appreciate your good opinion. I trust that my duty in your service will secure its continuance, and I flatter myself I shall never lose your confidence and good opinion." This speech was followed by great applause.

FROM FRANCE.
Captain Brown, of the brig American Hero, arrived yesterday in 60 days from Nantz, has favored us with French papers to the 19th of September, from which we translate the following articles. At the time captain B. failed, the ships Bacchus and Oeida, both of and for Philadelphia, were laying at Brest.
NANTES, September 18.
The Republican Frigate La Precieuse has taken in the road of Ville Clery, the Raymond and the Woodcutters, vessels belonging to the East India Company, who lost at the same time the Amelia, burnt by accident. The loss in these three vessels is estimated at 1,200,000 Francs.
They write from Constance, 7th Fructidor, that the Lake from which one city takes its name has for some days past presented a novel sight. More than 3000 men, collected from different parts of France, have advanced in barks and batteaux as far as the middle of the Lake, and there have solemnly sworn allegiance to the Helvetic Constitution.
Mr. Hamilton has arrived about a month since from London, as envoy extraordinary from the United States. He is entirely devoted to the party of President Adams, and is charged by him to draw yet closer the fatal bands by which the American government is enchainable in a dependence on England.
Mr. Hamilton, from his superiority of talents and knowledge, will render himself a very dangerous enemy.
Extract of a letter from Citizen Savary, Chief of the Naval division, to the Minister of Marine in the road of Royan, river of Bourdeaux.
"I hasten to announce to you my return to France, after having disembarked in the Bay of Killarney, in Ireland, the troops of the republic, whom I had the charge of transporting - I bring in return some English prisoners, part of the garrison of the town of Killala, whom some French grenadiers under the orders of general Sarrazin captured whilst the landing was taking place - I cannot describe to you the order and enthusiasm of the soldiers in disembarking. They were so many heroes.
The day following, the 6th, there was a rencontre, in which General Humbert beat the enemy, who had an hundred men killed and considerably more wounded. The 7th was to be a new day of Glory for the French. My brave companions and myself, regret that we were obliged to prepare to sail by the approach of bad weather. We have yet some prisoners to bring over. At my departure 1500 Irishmen had joined us, and were organized; 20,000 waited for us at some distance. - Vive la Republique! (Signed) SAVARY.
BALTIMORE November 27.
The papers we received by the mail are not only few, but the most barren of any that came to our hands for many months. This, it is expected, will from the usual indulgence of our patrons, be a sufficient apology for the barrenness of this day's Gazette.
[These Editors are occasionally insulting us, by dwelling on the barrenness of our Gazettes. After all, their flurs revert upon themselves; for to those who have an opportunity of making comparisons, it must appear evident that the Baltimore papers are wholly supported in eleven months out of the twelve, by selections from other papers, and principally those of Philadelphia.]
NORFOLK, November 20.
In the Cygnet arrived 39 seamen, being part of the crews of the
Brig Ruby, Bartlett, of Newbury port, Brig Ellex, Tate, New York, Schooner Nancy, Stevens, New York, Schooner Charlotte, Strong, Portland, Schooner Clarissa, Ryan, Old York, Sloop Julia, Green, East-Hadden. Who were taken prisoners and confined in jail, loaded with heavy irons; the allowance for each 24 hours was two ounces of rotten salt fish, and a small loaf of bread divided between three persons. Not having seamen sufficient to work their vessels, Victor Hughes compelled the Americans by force to go on board them. The above Americans were fortunate enough to make their escape from on board a privateer that put into St. Thomas, and were rendered every assistance by captain Blakewell, who generously gave them a passage home.
The Schooner Hannah, captain Smith, arrived here yesterday from Antigua, via Anguilla. Three days before capt. S. left Antigua (the 16th Oct.) forty American prisoners, upwards of twenty of whom were masters and mates of vessels, arrived there from Guadalupe in a cartel. It seems they were liberated on parole, in consequence of dispatches brought to Guadalupe by a French frigate from France. Capt. Smith informs that they have all gone ashore.
On the 16th instant, in lat. 32, long. 74, spoke the Schooner Aurora, Noble, from Tortola to New-York, all well.
Nov. 17, in lat. 36, long. 65, spoke the sloop Sally, from Tortola to New-London.
Late from Cape Francois.
Yesterday also arrived the brig Mermaid, Capt. Canby, 17 days from Cape Francois. Capt. C. informs us that about the 24th ult. an action took place at Port D'Unhin, between the inhabitants of that place and a body of Toussaint's troops, under the com-
mand of his Nephew - on the arrival of the news at the Cape gen. Hedouville issued a Proclamation offering a reward for the head of Toussaint's nephew. Three days afterwards, viz on the 27th. gen. Toussaint appeared before Cape Francois with all his black troops, and sent in a flag with orders for gen. Hedouville and the white troops to embark immediately and leave the island, this was complied with, and on the 30th the 3 frigates laying at that place put to sea with the whole of them. capt. Canby was embargoed till after their departure, and also informs that it was generally understood at the Cape, that gen. Toussaint would in a few days declare the Island Independent. Some hours after capt. Canby was out, was boarded by a British 74 and a frigate an officer from whom informed him that the Frenchmen had escaped them.
November 22.
On Tuesday arrived the Schooner Charming Betsey, captain Connaway, 18 days from Kingston (Jamaica) bound to Baltimore. Capt. C. has favored us with a few papers, but we see nothing in them, except the following:
KINGSTON October 30.
Yesterday arrived at Port Royal, the French cartel Schooner L'Esperance, capt. Enoffair, with the following passengers taken in the brig Sifers, from New-York bound to this port, and 17 seamen and 7 servants. Miss Gurdon, capt. Hamilton, Dr. Anderson, Dr. Dawson, Mr. McLean, Mr. Fraser, Mr. Mufard, and Mr. Boyle.
The Sifers left New York the 24th August, was captured the 30th ult. and carried into Port-de-Paix.
One of the servants taken in the Sifers, on his arrival at Port-de-Paix, joined the Brigands.
His majesty's ship Serpent, capt. Roberts, arrived yesterday at Port Royal from a cruise, with the following prizes:
A small French Schooner boat of 4 twelves.
American Schooner Betsey, of Baltimore, that had been taken by the above privateer.
American Schooner Liberty, of Charleston, (under cartel colours) from Jeremie to Port au Prince, with provisions and wine. A French lady and two servants were on board.

PHILADELPHIA,
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, Sept. 27, 1798.
"Although Lord St. Vincent's fleet continues off this Bay, we see American vessels enter almost every day, and this by permission. It is also very certain that the French are very much at a loss what course to steer with respect to the Americans; there have been instances of their system of inquiry being modified in favor of the American prizes, so that at this moment the American flag is more respected than any other. I pray to heaven that the people of America their government, since I now witness the rapid effect it has had to raise the American character in the eyes of poor humbled Europe. Yet I am convinced from good authority that the French still build some hopes on a reviving party in America, and they are very industrious in spreading reports here to that effect. Nay, the very Spanish minister in Paris has just informed his government here that the directory had received certain information from America of the French faction having recovered their superiority, the probable loss of which I have formally and positively denied. I forbear mentioning my own suspicions concerning the source of this pretended intelligence. It is well known that the infamous Logan and the weak, ungrateful Kosciusko have arrived in Paris. There are two things which I find to be continual objects of milkake among the Europeans in their opinions and judgment of American affairs. - First, they never know how to appreciate the true American interest so that it is almost impossible to make them understand that America may resist France without submitting to English influence: Secondly, They are almost incapable of forming a just idea of the kind of Gratitude which America owes France on account of her assistance in the late war. On these two topics I have always found it difficult or impossible to argue my opponents into conviction without excepting many men of talents and understanding in other respects. But the spirit of enquiry which is now generally awakened, respecting American affairs will soon place things in their true light.
At present it is supposed the hero of the grand nation will begin defending the hill of capricious fortune. He is by all accounts in a very desperate situation at present with his army who are continually harassed by the natives and must now be in want of every thing without hopes of communication with the mother country."
The tide of popular opinion is every where bearing down that graceless patriotism, which seeks aggrandizement in the propagation of principles, at once obscene, anarchical, and blasphemous. While the happy reverse this creates in the situation of such men as Baldwin and other depraved devotees to the enemies of their country, will be attributed by some to fickleness of temper, let us hope it is founded on a solid and rational reform in the principles and opinions of the people. The sentiments of these men towards France might have been tolerated ten years ago, but they are now become treasonable. Every man must at times change his principles, or be left in the votative.
Notwithstanding all the pains taken by France and her emissaries to eradicate from society, all those old-fashioned attachments to truth, honor, virtue and country, which are the sole basis of social institutions, and notwithstanding the funeral progress the nation has made elsewhere in this work of destruction, it appears that in this country, men obliquely retain their native predilections. A liar, a thief, a swindler, or a scoundrel will meet after all with much more difficulty in getting an appointment here than in France. Those violent and horrid methods employ-
ed by the French to recruit their armies, have resulted, as might be expected, in an immense diminution of their population. It is supposed there are at this moment in France, thirty women to one man. Barbé Marbois, describing their cruel requisitions of human beings for slaughter, inveighed with bitterness against the prolongation of that delusive war, which in the midst of triumphs, mowed down the flower of the French youth; that dolorous war, which came to search even in their cradles, for infants to enrol on the lists of requisition. It was not to the purpose of the dominant party to listen to his voice, and they sent him away to perish amidst burning fands, and sparkling flices.
So immense is the number of natural children in France, in consequence of the depraved state of society in that country, that the wife and magnum opus rulers of the Great Nation, find themselves obliged to make public provision for them, and to find them nurses. The number of these is so great, that their pay amounts to 338 672 livres. But being always kept in arrears, the infants are continually left to perish in great numbers. Of 263 new-born infants, sent on the 1st Vendemaire (23d Sept.) to the single Hospital of St. Nicholas, 234 starved to death.
Public expectation waits on tip toe for the result of the deliberations of that august assembly which now graces the city by its presence. It seems to be a thing of general expectation, however, that the Provisional Army will be raised and appointed, forthwith. In the mean time, what further measures may be resolved on, as to the organization and employment of this force, furnishes field for various and multiplied conjecture.
The number of bastards in France has amounted to eighty-two thousand five hundred per annum for the last four years, and is supposed to be on the increase. Of these thirteen-fourteenths starve to death.
The requisitions of the French imposed upon their own deluded vassals, have perhaps exceeded those extorted from other countries. And thus have the citizens of the all-conquering Republic actually been compelled to submit to the woeful concomitant of conquest. A large quantity of cattle stolen by government, or in other words, "taken by requisition" from the inhabitants of Flanders, and which they have never been able to get pay for, to this day, after repeated applications, reduced great numbers of them to beggary and misery.
The following passage in Milton, seems peculiarly applicable to the Great Nation, or nation of Great Villains, and what is remarkable, contains some of the most prominent and noxious of their cabalistical terms. It is to be hoped the latter part may prove prophetic.
"Till one shall rise Of proud ambitious heart, who not content Will arrogate dominion undeserv'd Over his brethren, and quite dispossest Concord, and law of nature from the earth, Hunting (and men not beasts shall be his game) With war and hostile snare such as refuse Subjection to his empire tyrannous: A mighty hunter thence shall be stird, Before the Lord, as in despite of heaven, Or from heaven claiming second sovereignty; And from rebellion shall derive his name, Though of rebellion others he accuse. He, with a crew, whom like ambition joins With him or under him to tyrannize, Marching from Eden towards the West, shall find The plain, wherein a black bituminous gurge Boils out from under ground, to him a Hell. Grande Nation."
In the ordinary affairs of life as in the sphere of science, nothing is more characteristic of mental imbecility than a pertinacious adherence to a tenet, which, both by the illustrations of reasoning and the opinion of the world, has been declared absurd and untenable. The mind that is not capable of receding from error, can possess no consciousness of truth. Thus we daily perceive, that men of a liberal cast of mind, who formerly, from the impulse of particular circumstances, or from temporary enthusiasm, adored Frenchmen and French conduct, are universally falling off from their beloved, and becoming good domestic citizens; while the poor infatuated souls, whose minds are not their own, and who believe from the instinct of prejudice, persist in their delusion, and thereby hourly render themselves the dupes of political jugglers and the derision of the world.

FIRE!
Between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock this morning, a fire broke out in a distillery situated in the Northern Liberties. By the timely interference of the citizens it was prevented from doing any material damage.
We have not learnt whether this fire originated in accident or design. But in a city infested as ours, with gangs of United Irishmen, it is difficult to tell what is to preserve us from general conflagration.
From the New-York Daily Advertiser. About three weeks ago, an Irish insurgent who had been obliged to quit his country rather abruptly during the last summer came to this Office, and wished to have inserted a notice that he had arrived in America, and purposed in the ensuing week to visit his friends in Philadelphia. It is scarcely necessary to say, that this was not complied with. During a conversation which the Editor had with this gentleman;
and which was designedly prolonged, in order to make, if possible, some discoveries, he was informed by this foreigner, that he was well known in every part of the continent, and that his arrival was rather expected to his friends. Perhaps this incident may explain the cause of the meeting of United Irishmen which is called in Philadelphia - that tenets require a vigilance and energy, the indolent or shallow minds are not aware of.

Direct from the Mediterranean. Arrived at Gloucester, yesterday afternoon, the brig Aligator, Capt. William, in 40 days from Malaga. Capt. W. confirms the account which we gave on the 12th inst. of the total defeat of the Toulon fleet. The amount of particulars which he brings, could not be correctly ascertained; but as the vessel is destined for this port, it is probable a few hours will enable us to come at particulars that shall completely satisfy the doubtful.

In all cases where the assessors or any of them may deem it necessary for the better ascertaining any property, they are authorised to have reference to any records or documents or to any returns or lists of assessments taken under the laws of this State, and generally by all other lawful ways and means to enquire after and concerning the same. All lists are to be taken with reference to the first day of October last, and those which relate to property lying out of your assessment district, are to be immediately transmitted to the commit- tee of your division, in order to be by him transmitted to the principal assessors of the district in which such property is situated. The law exempts from valuation and enumeration all property of whatever kind coming with- in any of the foregoing descriptions, and belonging to the United States, or any State, or per- manently exempted from taxation by the laws of the State where the same may be situated or possessed. The following being such as from immemorial custom have been exempted, and about which no doubt can be entertained, is recommended to be wholly omitted in the returns, viz. Court- Houses, Public buildings for keeping Records, Churches, Meeting-Houses, Parsonages, and property attached to Churches and Meeting-Houses, Burial-Grounds, Hospitals, Almshouses and Poor-Houses, Universities, Colleges, Academies and School-Houses; There is other prop- erty which must be exempted but, it ought to be returned with the circumstances on which the claim of exemption is stated founded, for consideration.
From the foregoing it may be seen that those who choose it, may make their lists or returns of property verbally to the assessors. Those who incline to do so ought to make themselves previously acquainted with every circumstance of the property they occupy, superintend, or ought to return, which the law requires they should communicate to the assessors, and is specified in the following forms: An attention to this will prevent mistakes and save time when the assessors call.

As the Assessors appointed by the Commissioners of Pennsylvania by virtue of the act to provide for the valuation of Lands and Dwelling Houses, and the enumeration of Slaves within the United States, will in a few days begin to take the returns or lists of property agreeably to the directions of the said act:— It has been deemed advisable to publish the following extracts from the Instructions of the Commissioners to the Assessors, and also the Forms in which the returns or lists of property made subject to valuation and enumeration are to be made for the information of the citizens of this State.—It is to be observed that the property is by the aforesaid act incorporated into three distinct classes—the first is to consist of "Every Dwelling House above the value of one hundred dollars, with the out-houses thereto appurtenant and the lot on which such dwelling house and out-houses are erected not exceeding two acres in any case." The second is to consist of "all lands and town lots, (except lots on which dwelling houses above the value of one hundred dollars, with their appurtenances, are erected as aforesaid) with all buildings and other improvements of whatever kind thereon (except Dwelling Houses above the value of one hundred dollars, and the out-houses appurtenant thereto.) And the third is to consist of "All slaves, whether Negroes, Mulattoes, or Mestizoes, above the age of twelve and under the age of fifty years, which are to be enumerated in the assessment district in which they may respectively be kept or employed, at the time of the enumeration; except such as from fixed infirmity or bodily disability may be incapable of labor: And it is provided "that all property of whatever kind coming within any of the foregoing descriptions, and belonging to the United States or any State, or permanently exempted from taxation by the laws of the state wherein the same may be situated or possessed, shall be exempted from the aforesaid valuation and enumeration."
The Extracts from the Instructions are as follows:
The assistant assessors of each assessment district are to meet together, at such time and place as shall be appointed by the commissioner of their division, when and where they are by mutual agreement to distribute their district into such number of sub-divisions, as they shall deem convenient not exceeding the number of assistant assessors. In doing this, regard is to be had as far as practicable, to Townships, Wards or Districts, as established by law. Where there are small, two or more may be thrown into one division, where they are large, they may be divided into two or more divisions, an exact equality is not attainable or essential, as the compensation to each assistant will be in proportion to the time necessarily and unavoidably employed in the execution of his duty.
You are then to procure an exact return of all Dwelling-Houses, Lands and Slaves in your assessment district, or owned by persons residing therein, and for that purpose must without delay, bring to the Commissioner a list of the Dwelling-Houses, Lands and Slaves, or having the care or management thereof, is deliver separate written lists, specifying in one list, the Dwelling-Houses, in another, the Lands, and in a third, the Slaves, owned, possessed, or having the care or management thereof, by persons residing in the district of this State, or of any other State, designating the State, County, Parish, Township or Town, as the case may be, where the property lies, and making separate lists as aforesaid of the property in each assessment district if known, but if that is not known to the party making the list or return, as accurate an account of the place where the property lies, as is in his knowledge, or his power, must be exhibited.
All lists must specify, in respect to Dwelling-Houses their situation, dimensions or area, their number of stories, the number and dimensions of their windows, the materials whereof they are built, whether wood, brick or stone, the number, description and dimensions of the Outhouses appurtenant to them, and the names of their occupants. And in respect to lands must specify the quantity of each separate Tract or Lot, the number, description and dimensions of all Wharves and buildings thereon (except Dwelling-Houses above the value of one hundred dollars, and the Outhouses appurtenant thereto) and the name of the owner or occupant. And in respect to Slaves must specify the number above the age of twelve and under the age of fifty years, owned or possessed by or under the care of each person, with the name of such person. And if any of the foregoing property is claimed as entitled to exemption from the aforesaid act, the circumstances whereon the claim rests must be specified.
To facilitate the making out lists or returns, the forms numbered 1, 2, and 3, have been devised.
If any person should not be prepared to exhibit written lists when required, and shall be willing to disclose all his property, made subject to valuation and enumeration as aforesaid, in such case, it is the duty of the assessors to make such lists, which being distinctly read and consented to, shall be received as the lists of such person.
When lists or returns are made of property lying out of this state, the necessary alterations in heading the lists are to be made.
The following classification and distribution of property into numbers 1 and 2, have been deemed conformable to the spirit and intention of the law. In No. 1, are the lists of Dwelling-Houses, &c. are to be comprised all Dwelling-Houses, with the Outhouses appurtenant thereto, and the lot on which they are built, not exceeding two acres in any case, which exceed one hundred dollars in value. By Outhouses appurtenant, is to be understood, Kitchen, Wash-house, Wood-house, Ice-house, Coach, or Carriage-house, Stable, Brew house and Bake-house, if for family use, and generally all buildings connected with the economy of house-keeping only, and not for the purpose of carrying on any professional business, trade, or mechanic art, or to promote husbandry, and consequently to bring in revenue to the occupant; unless buildings of the latter description should be so situated on lots that they cannot with a part of the lot, be separated from the Dwelling-House, without injuring the value; in which case as they are not to escape valuation, they must go with the Dwelling-House: and though the lot to be valued with the Dwelling-House and appurtenances must in no case exceed two acres, yet it need not contain more than the ground on which the Dwelling-House and appurtenant buildings or outhouses are actually erected, and what may be necessary, for the convenient occupancy of the same.
In No. 2, is to be comprised all Lands and Town lots (except lots on which Dwelling-Houses with their appurtenances above the value of one hundred dollars are erected as aforesaid) all Wharves, Stores, Ware-houses, Shops, Offices, Sugar-houses, Distilleries, Breweries and Bakeries, if carried on as an occupation, Mills, Forges, Furnaces, or other Iron Works, and all kind of water-works and generally all such buildings as are used for the purpose of carrying on any professional business, trade or mechanic art, or to promote husbandry, and consequently all Barns, Stables, &c. (a farms are to be estimated as belonging to this class; also unfinished buildings, though intended for Dwelling-Houses are to be valued in the situation they were in on the first day of October last, and all Dwelling-Houses which with the outhouses appurtenant thereto, do not exceed one hundred dollars in value.
In the 3d class there can be no difficulty, it comprehends all Slaves, a species of property, of which, fortunately, there is not much in Pennsylvania.
A fine of not more than 500 dollars, nor less than 100 dollars with costs of suit, is by law imposed on any person who shall deliver or disclose to any assessors any false, or fraudulent list or return, with intent to defeat or evade the valuation or enumeration directed by law, in which case the assessors respectively are to make out lists of such person's property, from the best information they can obtain, for which purpose, they are authorized, to enter into and upon all and singular the premises respectively, and from the valuations and enumerations so made, there shall be no appeal.
In case any person shall be absent from his place of residence at the time an assessors shall call to receive his lists, the assessors shall leave a written note or memorandum, requiring him to present to such assessors the list or lists as aforesaid, within ten days from the date of such note or memorandum. And if any person being required and notified as aforesaid, shall neglect or refuse to present the said lists within the said ten days, they by law incur a fine of 100 dollars with costs of suit, except in case of sickness or absence from home for the whole period from the leaving such notification to the expiration of the said ten days; and in every such case, the assessors in whose sub-division he or she resides, together with some one other assessors, of the same district, are authorized and required to enter into and upon the Dwelling-Houses, Lands and premises of the person so neglecting or refusing, and to make from the best information they can obtain, and from their own view, such lists of the said property as is required as aforesaid. And the lists being subscribed by the assessors making the same, shall be deemed as good and sufficient for the purposes of the law.
If there are any Dwelling-Houses, Lands or Slaves, within your assessment district, not owned or possessed by any person residing therein, and no list of which shall be transmitted to the principal assessors thereof: the assessors of the sub-division in which such property lies, shall by entering into and upon such Dwelling-Houses, Lands and Lots, and from such information as he can obtain, make lists thereof, and also of all Slaves as aforesaid, agreeably to the forms prescribed, and which being subscribed by the assessors making the same, are to be deemed good and sufficient lists.

A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
JOHN A. SHAEFFER, of Philadelphia, who has for a few years past been in the Southern States, has had the effrontery to draw several Bills of Exchange on Timothy Pickering, Esq. Secretary of State, and myself, and by that means has defrauded a number of persons of their money, deceiving them by an exhibition of letters and papers with the names affixed of divers public characters and reputable merchants highly complimentary of said Shaeffer; to one of these papers I find my name subscribed, but I do not know the man; these are villainous forgeries! To prevent further imposition, I have to request the printers of Newspapers in the United States to publish this for the benefit of their fellow-citizens.
