Appointments by the President.
[CONTINUED.]
The remaining objections to the late appointments of the President apply to the case of Ray Greene .
The circumstances attending this case are understood to be these:
Ray Greene was a Senator of the United States during the last session, when the new judiciary arrangements were made, and continued a Senator, in the actual discharge of the duties of a Senator, until the 4th day of March. By these new arrangements, Circuit judges , additional to the then existing District judges , were created. Among the last nominations made by Mr. Adams, at the close of the session, was that of Mr. Greene , who was named for the place of district judge of Rhode Island, then held by Benjamin Bourne , named at the same time for the place of circuit judge .
By the constitution two descriptions of office are created; those, a removal from which takes place at the pleasure of the President; and those which are held during good behaviour. The first description embraces all offices but such as are judicial; the last embraces judicial offices alone.
With respect to judicial offices the constitution says: Art. III. Sect. 1. "The judges, both of the supreme and inferior court, shall hold their offices during good behaviour."
It is afterwards provided that in case of misdemeanor, they shall be tried by impeachment; and removed from office only on the conviction of the Senate.
From this statement it follows that all officers, excepting judiciary officers, being removable at any moment by the President, he can at any moment make a vacancy, which is actually made by commissioning an individual to fill a place, at the time of nomination occupied by another.
But with regard to judges a different rule exists. Judges hold their offices independent of the pleasure of the President. The places, to which they are once constitutionally appointed, are theirs beyond any executive control. Until they formally resign, or by some voluntary act of theirs vacate their office, it continues to be absolutely held by them. The President and Senate may name and commission a successor, but the nomination and the commission will be altogether nugatory, without the consent of the existing officer.
Now, when Mr. Greene was nominated district judge of Rhode Island, was that office vacant? Clearly it was not. Mr. Bourne had long been and still was judge. He had not resigned, he had not signified his intention to resign, and no one could signify it for him.
It is true that he was appointed to what was called a superior office. But, granting the new appointment to be superior to the old (which, however, is very questionable from the precariousness of its tenure) still Mr. Bourne may have had strong reasons for keeping the office which he had for some time held, and which he was likely to hold as long as he chose, in preference to accepting one, which, though more emolumentary, might be vacated in a short period, by a repeal of the law which established it. Such reasons are not merely theoretic; they have in fact influenced the decisions of several district judges nominated in the same way to circuit appointments . Does it not clearly appear from these facts that there was no vacancy in the office of district judge of Rhode Island, and that there being no vacancy, of course Mr. Adams, not possessing the power of making one, could not, without flagrant absurdity, fill an office not vacant.
The Constitution says, "The President shall have power to fill all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session."
We have seen above that until the period of the 4th of March, Mr. Bourne actually held the office of district judge . It
now appears that Mr. Greene actually held the office of Senator. Until this period, then, Mr. Greene could not be district judge, as holding the office of Senator, the provisions of the 6th Sect. of the 1st. Art. of the Constitution declare that, "No person holding any office under the United States shall be a member of either House during his continuance in office."
It is clear then that Ray Greene was not district judge antecedent to the 4th of March, because being Senator, he was disqualified from holding any other office, and because Mr. Bourne being the judge, until he resigned there could be none other.
Did these reasons require any further illustration, it would be easy to furnish it by an appeal to the argumentum ad absurdum , in case a different construction should be given to the Constitution.
For supposing the appointment of Mr. Greene be just, it would follow inevitably, in case Mr. Bourne refused to give up his office of district judge, that two commissions for the same place would exist and be of force at the same time; or it would follow, that the President possessed the power, which the Constitution absolutely denies, of removing from office a judge; the first inference is absurd, and the last is in direct violation of the Constitution.
Could the President of the United States, bound by the solemn obligations of an oath to support the Constitution, be expected in the first acts of his administration openly to violate it?
But further; the case has not yet been stated in all its strong colours.
We all of us, fellow citizens, recollect the degrading spectacle which the late administration exhibited in the last moments of its existence, in those moments, which I trust we shall never forget, as they furnish irresistible proofs of the mad career of ambition unrestrained by a responsibility to the people.
A crowd of appointments were made at the last hour. Every great or small office was filled. On the very last day of the session, at the last hour, bordering on midnight, names were proposed by the President, and agreed to by the Senate. In every instance party men were appointed; and even from this description of citizens, time was not allowed to make the best selection. All was hurry, and implicit confidence. Every thing proposed by Mr. Adams was deemed to be right, and was instantaneously confirmed. The period of evil days approached, and too much good could not be done before their arrival! The inevitable consequence was that men unfit for office were in many cases appointed, and in others men who would not accept their appointments.
In the case of Mr. Greene the substance was aimed at, while the form was neglected. It is understood that the commission intended for him, calls him a circuit judge , instead of a district judge . It is said to be signed by John Adams.
In this state the nomination flood when Mr. Jefferson entered upon the duties of his office. What was he to do, what could he do?
He could not surely let the commission go forth with all its imperfections on its head; and if he had, it would not have availed Ray Greene, who could not have produced it in court as his credentials. It would have been altogether a dead letter.
Could the President grant a new commission to Mr. Greene? If he had cancelled the old one, and given a new one, by what authority could he do this, but by the authority of the Constitution, which empowers him to fill vacancies occurring during the recess? And in doing this, would not the very point have been settled, which has been settled in the appointment of Mr. Barnes, viz. the existence of a vacancy? Most assuredly it would. And it follows that they, who condemn the President for commissioning Mr. Barnes, recommend a line of conduct, which differs from that which he has actually pursued only as to the person appointed, while it fully establishes the principles on which he has acted.
It is presumed that, when all these considerations are fully and coolly examined, no citizen, who is not prejudiced by party
feeling beyond all cure, can doubt the correctness of the principles, which appear to have guided the President.
But there remains an additional consideration, which, corroborated by the foregoing ones, cannot fail to make a strong impression upon the mind of every citizen who feels the necessity of guarding the constitution from invasion. That Constitution expressly declares that "no Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time."
The design of this Article was to prevent Senators and Representatives from creating offices for themselves. Any act, then, of theirs, whereby an office is created for their own occupancy, is a literal violation of the constitution. But is not the Constitution, in spirit , as much violated, when legislators create offices, it may be with the express view, of having them filled by the occupants of their existing offices, that these last may be filled by themselves? Is not the end accomplished by the one mode, as bad, and as great an infringement of the principles of the Constitution, as that accomplished by the other? If there be any difference in the degree of transgression, is not that the greater, which in addition to the impropriety of the object, pursues means covered, evasive, and injudicious?
It has been truly said that the liberties of a free people are not to be subdued by open and avowed efforts to subvert them, but by stratagem, by subtle artifices, by secret invasions of rights.
In this picture Ray Greene stands a conspicuous figure. He was a Senator. It was his vote, united with the vote of a few other Senators and Representatives, which passed the law, whereby permanent offices were carved out for themselves by themselves.
Ought we not to felicitate ourselves on this barrier which the constitution has wilely raised against one of the most dangerous kinds of corruption that can beset a republican government? Should we not be careful to preserve it from destruction, as our best, and often our only safe-guard against violated rights; and is it not a subject of unmixed gratulation that they, who were the first to invade the Constitution, have been also among the first to realise the futility of the attempt?

Extract of a letter from Riga, April 1. "The first effect of the death of our Emperor, Paul I. has been felt by commerce. All the absurd prohibitions and rigours imposed by him, have ceased; and we have just received advices from Petersburg, that not only the exportation of all kinds of merchandise is made free, but that the embargo laid upon English vessels in our ports will be taken off, as soon as the English government shall have taken off that imposed on Danish and Swedish vessels, for having formed an alliance with Russia. Already orders have been sent from Petersburg, for the return of the English seamen, which Paul I. had judged proper to send into the interior of the Northern provinces. We understand the importation of English merchandise will speedily be permitted: The exportation of those of Russia is, without any exception, placed on the footing of the tariff of 1797. We flatter ourselves, that very soon the importation of all those articles which have been prohibited by Paul I. will be equally free. For the rest, the embargo on English vessels continues provisionally; and the office of liquidation of the English effects and credits seized, yet exists, and is in operation at Petersburg."

MISCELLANEOUS AFFAIRS.
The Publiciste of the 5th April mentions from authentic data, that the proportion of the sick to the well of the military, in Egypt, is, as one to 28, and of deaths to the sick, as one to 42; whilst in Europe the first proportion in time of war is as one to 12; and of the 2d, as one to 23; hence it follows, that already the climate of Egypt proves to the French even more salubrious than their native country. Under such favorable auspices, what may not be expected, when sickness, contagious disorders, and forensis of eyes are got under the controul of the arts and sciences?
PARIS, April 9.
The minister of the interior, sanctioned by a resolve for that purpose, offers a prize of 11,000 francs (about 2000 dollars) to the painter who may draw the picture, which may be adjudged the best, representing the battle before Nazaret, where 300 brave fellows, commanded by general Junot, repulsed 3000 cavalry, took five standards and strewed the field of battle

EGYPT.
Extract of a letter from the citizen Binot, chief of a squadron of cavalry, and aide-du camp to the general of division Triant, commander at Alexandria, to his friend at Angers:
"Alexandria, 13th Pluviose, 9th year. (1st Feb. 1801.)"
"All fears entertained for the army of Egypt, are entirely without foundation; and in order to dissipate all kinds of uncertainty on that head, I give you the following statement of our force and position.
"The army is well paid, well clothed and abundantly fed;—we have no body to fight at present, but are extremely well disposed to meet the hordes of the Grand Vizier, (thus we call that banditti, of which the British speak, in such high sounding terms) which is collected at Gaza, and which give us, neither by sea or land the least uneasiness.
"Gen. Friant, with 6000 men, has the defence of the coast from Alexandria to beyond Rosetta.
"On our right flank, Rampan commands an equal force, stretching along the coast as far as El Arish.
"The gen. in chief Menou remains at Cairo, with two divisions of 15,000 men, commanded by the gens. Regnier, and Lanusse, who will meet the Vizier if again he should take it into his head to appear in Egypt.
"Gen. Douzelot commands in Upper Egypt, with 4000 men, has his head quarters at Siout, and often sees the brave and intrepid Mourat Bey, who, in the name of the French, governs all the Thebaide as far as the cataracts. The Bey has never ceased to give the most convincing proofs of his fidelity and attachment to the French; and on our part, we entertain for him the greatest esteem.
"Our head quarters is at the famous city of Alexandria, which contains the most precious monuments of antiquity and of the greatest beauty. What a vast field for the arts! Our men of science avail themselves of it. They will carry to France the result of their labors, and a correct knowledge of this country, once so flourishing. We divide our time between pleasure and duty, and with that those who are warring in Europe may find themselves as happy as we do here.
(Signed)
BINOT."
FROM PORTUGAL.
Letter of a friend at Lisbon, to the Editor of the Aurora.
Lisbon, April 9, 1801.
"The friendship of the English appears, not to diminish, but rather to increase daily for us; take the following in addition to the many proofs we have had, for years past. The English frigate Diana, capt. Stevenson, arrived in this port yesterday from the Straights; last night at midnight, she sent a boat with an armed crew on board the brig Argus, of Boston, Thomas H. Hinckley master; upon the — m Capt. Hinckley came on deck and found the English ruffians, forcing some of the hands into the boat; he seized a handspike and endeavored to make battle, he was collared and abused, but succeeded in forcing them into their boat, where they had however forced the seaman who held the watch, and carried him off.
"They then boarded the ship Fame, capt. Richmond Bullock, of Providence, Rhode Island, but found them too strong to succeed, and went off without attempting to seize any of the crew.
"They next proceeded to the schooner Industry, of Boston, captain Ward, where they did some mischief, but did not carry any one off; though their behaviour on board was disgraceful, and purposely
Yankees is as familiar an expression, and as much a term of respect as it was twenty years ago; we may fairly say they have lost none of their love for us with length of time, and seem resolved to keep us in remembrance of them.
"The brig Union of Bolton, commanded by captain Richmond Godman, is arrived in this port from St. Sebastians; on his passage he was boarded by an English armed ship, of 18 guns, but none of the people would tell her name, they broke open his birth, and robbed him of three doubleloons, three small pieces of gold, several dozen of silk stockings; and even of his silver sleeve buttons. From the mate they took 26 dollars and two dozen silk stockings. One of the crew, a very industrious man, who had saved by small ventures 100 dollars, with which he hoped soon to return to his family, they robbed him of his all, after breaking open his chest; and when the captain resented this outrage, they threatened to tie him to a gun and flog him. They detained the brig all night, and departed when they could find no more plunder. These facts concerning his vessel, captain Godman related to me in the presence of eight other Americans.
"We learn that the English fleet has arrived in the Baltic, and have had a rough handling. The Elbe is shut against the English, as this place will be in a very short time from this—more I cannot say for fear of its falling into some ones hands, and in the regular governments of this part of the world, it is not allowed to speak of the superior powers; for although there is no sedition law to enforce silence, the regularity is so great that there is no need for the formality of a trial, execution always follows complaint; so that tho' I may speak of my own country, I dare not speak of this very much. Bread is enormously high here, but it is worse in England. Tunis and Tripoly has declared war against our flag. The French respect it, and I learn from gentlemen who have come down the Straits, they protect our ships in the Mediterranean.
"There is an account going of an action of three hours between an English 44 and a Swedish 36 gun frigate, but as I have not the accurate particulars, I cannot venture to say more than that there is such a report."
Extract of a letter from the Russian frontiers, dated 20th March 1801.
"Of the death of the late monarch, we have here the following account:—It had been observed some time since that the Emperor had frequent pain in the breast, and much heat in the blood. His physicians prescribed the necessary remedy, but his majesty neglected it. The day before his death, the Emperor was uncommonly merry, and in good humour. At ten o'clock in the evening he went to bed. At 11 he rang the bell, the valet de Chambre appeared, and after him the physician, the surgeon, and two field Jopers or those who had the guard every night. They found the monarch very unquiet, yet he had his speech and desired to speak with his family, and his first enquiry was for count Kutaigow. When the whole family appeared, the emperor was already speechless, and remained in a state of insensibility, until 3 o'clock, when he expired. Count Kutaigow did not arrive till twelve o'clock, and therefore could not speak with the emperor, whom an apoplectic fit had already bereft of his senses."

In the "Monthly Retrospect of Fine Arts," published in London, the following two Prints are announced:
BATTLE OF BUNKER'S HILL.
Painted by Trumbull, engraved by J. G. Muller, and published by Pogli 4l. 4s.
To preserve the memory of those men to whom America owed her Independence, and delineate those actions by which that independence was acquired and maintained, is an idea worthy of Rome, when in the zenith of its glory. It induces the rising generation to consider their ancestors with respect, and incites them to emulate the example set before them, in such characters as their late revered President, who must in future ages rank very high among the legislators, who by the prudence and moderation of their governments, have given stability, or at least a probability of it, to the states which were founded by their wisdom. Stuart's portrait of this great character we noticed in our last; and, like the medals of the heroes of Greece in its countenance of the man to whom America has been so much indebted.
The Battle of Bunker's Hill is a grand design. The point of time is interesting; it represents two officers, one of the British, the other of the American army, desperately wounded. The young American is the principal figure, and is evidently in the agonies of death. An English grenadier is prevented from giving him another wound with his bayonet, by an American soldier and a British officer, the latter of whom humanely arrests his arm in its progress. These form the first groupe. In the second, a British officer is carried off in the arms of the soldiers. It is a very fine print, and in design much superior to the sortie. The engraving does the highest credit to the artist, J. G. M. by whom we do not recollect to have seen any print of much consequence before this.—May his labours be successfully continued.
THE DEATH OF GEN. MONTGOMERY.
J. J. Clemens. sculp.
This print is not equal to the preceding, either in design or execution. The design is formal and too studied; and the drawing, engraving, and general effect, inferior. The design of each, in the mode of thinking, distribution of light and shade, drawing, and indeed every thing that appears like a print, is much, rather too much, like the president of the royal academy.

TREATY OF PEACE, Between the First Consul of the French Republic, and his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies.
The First Consul of the French republic, in the name of the French people, and his majesty the king of the Two Sicilies, animated with an equal desire of putting a definitive termination to the war now existing between the two states, have nominated as their plenipotentiaries, viz. the First Consul of the French republic, in the name of the French people, Citizen Charles John Marie Alquier:
And his Sicilian majesty, Sieur Antoine de Micheroux, knight of the royal order, Constanian of St. George, and of the Russian Imperial order of St. Anne of the first class, and colonel in the service of his majesty:
Who, after exchanging their full powers, have agreed upon the following articles:
Art. I. There shall be peace, friendship, and good understanding between the French republic and his majesty the king of the Two Sicilies. All hostilities by sea and land shall definitively cease between the two powers, from the day on which the ratifications of the present treaty shall be exchanged; previously to which period, the armistice concluded at Foligno, on the 9th of February, shall have its full and entire execution.
II. All anterior acts, engagements, or conventions, on the part of either of the contracting parties, which may be contrary to the present treaty, are revoked, and shall be regarded as null and void.
III. All the ports of the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily shall be shut against all the vessels of war and commerce belonging to the Turks and England, until the conclusion of a definitive peace between the French republic and these two powers, and also of the differences which have arisen between England and the Northern powers, and more especially between Russia and England. The said ports shall on the other hand, continue open to all the vessels of war or commerce, as well as of his Imperial majesty of Russia, and the states comprised in the maritime neutrality of the North, as of the French republic and her allies; and should his majesty the king of the Two Sicilies, in consequence of this determination, find himself exposed to the attacks of the Turks or English, the French republic engages to put at the disposal of his majesty, whenever he may require them to be employed in his states, a number of troops equal to that which shall be sent to his assistance by his majesty the emperor of Russia.
IV. His majesty the king of the Two Sicilies renounces in perpetuity for himself and his successors, first, Porto Longone in the Isle of Elba, and every thing which may belong to him in the Isle; and secondly, the states of the Presides of Tuscany; and he cedes them, together with the principality of Piombino, to the government, which may dispose of them at its pleasure.
V. The French republic, and his majesty the king of the Two Sicilies, engage to take off reciprocally all sequestrations from the effects, revenues, and property of all kinds, belonging to the citizens and subjects of either power, which may have been seized, confiscated, or detained, in consequence of the present war, and to admit them respectively to the legal exercise of the actions and rights to which they might have been entitled.
VI. In order to efface every appearance of the private calamities which have marked the present war, and to give to the peace now restored, that stability, which cannot be expected but from a general oblivion of the past, the French Republic renounces all right of proceeding with respect to the acts of which she had to complain; and the King desirous upon his part to contribute as much as possible, to repair the misfortunes occasioned by the troubles which have taken place in his states, engages to pay in three months, reckoning from the day on which the ratifications of the present treaty shall be exchanged, a sum of 500,000 francs, which shall be divided among the French Agents and citizens who have more particularly suffered from the disorders which took place at Naples, Viterbo, and other parts of the South of Italy, through the means of the Neapolitans.
VII. His Sicilian majesty likewise engages to permit all those of his subjects, who have been prosecuted, banished, or induced to banish themselves, merely on account of transactions connected with the continuance of the French in the kingdom of Naples, to return freely into their country, and to reinstate them in their possessions. His majesty likewise promises that all persons, actually confined on account of the political opinions they may have expressed, shall be immediately set at liberty.
VIII. His majesty, the king of the Two Sicilies, engages to cause to be restored to the French Republic, the statues, paintings, and other objects of art, which were carried off from Rome by the Neapolitan troops.
IX. The present treaty is declared to be common to the Batavian, Cisalpine and the Ligurian Republics.
X. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged in the space of thirty days at the farthest.
Done and signed at Florence, on the 7th Germinal, 9th year of the French Republic, (28 March, 1801.) (Signed) ALQUIER. ANTOINE DE MICHEROUX.
From the Medical Repository, printed at New-York. "C. D. Ebeling, Professor of History, and Keeper of the Public Library in Hamburg, has published the fifth Volume of his American Geography. It is a large octavo of more than 800 pages and comprehends his account of the States of Delaware and Maryland. We cannot discover any diminution of the industry and talents displayed in the former parts of this laborious and interesting work. Convinced of the utility of communicating to European writers a true state of things as they exist in America, we again express our hopes that the gentlemen of the United States, who have leisure and opportunity, will aid Mr. Ebeling in his laudable undertaking, so that the account printed in the eastern hemisphere, concerning the present condition of the western, may be correct and authentic."
Such has been the demand and reputation of this work, that the two first volumes have had a second edition with great and important additions. The Maps which have been published to accompany the work, are in a superior style of execution, and we may expect soon a complete Atlas. The maps are about two feet in length, and a foot and a half in breadth, and are done by D. F. Sotzman, the author of the geography in 3 volumes for the use of schools, and of the beautiful Atlas published at Berlin in 1796. The maps of Maine, New-York, New-Jersey, Delaware and Maryland have reached America.
BOSTON, June 6. From the Centinel.
By the Sally, Capt. Swaley, from Rotterdam, we have been furnished with Rotterdam and Haarlem papers to the 23d April; and the Leyden Gazette to the 21st. They contain the latest accounts from the North of Europe. The Northern Confederacy, which, like the gourd of Jonah, grew up in a night, has apparently withered in as short a period. Various articles indicate the dissolution of the compact; and a letter from a highly respectable house at Amsterdam, dated April 22d, says, "By the last mail from Russia it appears, that the differences with the northern powers are considered as settled." Notwithstanding this, admiral Parker had proceeded into the Baltic with 16 sail of the line, to put into execution the remaining part of his instructions; and on the 21st April a messenger was dispatched from London to Yarmouth, for the fleet under admiral Totty to sail immediately to join the Baltic fleet. Previous to admiral Parker's sailing he received dispatches from the British admiralty, issued in consequence of the
intelligence of the new order of things in Russia. Sweden, it is probable, is the next object of the British; wherein great preparations for resistance have been made. Admiral Nelson was left to watch the Sound. He was cruising between Elsinore and Copenhagen.
From an article under the Stockholm head it would appear, that the Emperor Alexander intends confirming the recent measures of his father; but besides having his word to the contrary, we have good cause to believe, that the first important act of his reign will be the pacification of the North of Europe.
The papers are full of the operations of the Prussian troops in garrisoning the cities in the Electorate of Hanover; and taking possession of the Hans Towns on the North Sea. The ambitious projects of Frederick William are executed without the least apparent interruption.
All the French troops have quitted Germany; and the pacific treaty of Luneville appears to have a permanent basis.
The last advices from Europe concur in pronouncing the accounts of the defeat of Abercrombie, to have been Parisian fabrications, intended as momentary offsets to the affair at Copenhagen, and the death of the devoted ally of France, Paul, the madman.
BOSTON, June 10. In the Senate yesterday, the answer to the Governor's speech, was discussed for several hours.—An amendment was proposed by General Skinner expressive of a higher degree of confidence in the President of the United States, than was contained in that part of the answer which alluded to the subject.—This amendment was advocated by Gen. Hull, Messrs. Hichborn, Bidwell, Austin, and Bowdoin; and opposed by Messrs. Treadwell, Titcomb, Dwight, Hayward and Thompson.—The Yeas and Nays were taken on the amendment; and were as follows:—Yeas 14, Nays 20.—Majority for the original address 6.—Several other amendments were proposed, received or rejected—when the main question on the address passed Yeas 19. Nays 15. The Committee we learn will present it this day.

A work has just been published at the AURORA OFFICE, Philadelphia, entitled, "THE BANKRUPT LAW OF AMERICA, compared with the Bankrupt Law of England; By THOMAS COOPER, of Northumberland, Pennsylvania." 8vo. 550 p.
The work commences with a dedication to Alexander J. Dallas. After which the reader is presented with the following preface, from a perusal of which he will be enabled to form a general idea of the work.
"The present compilation originated from a desire of being engaged in some professional pursuit during the latter months of a tedious imprisonment to which I had the honour of being sentenced, for exposing some few among the errors of a weak, a wicked and a vindictive administration.
"I intended no more at first than to collect the points decided, and the principal references in as short a compass as I could; to serve rather as a manual for the practitioner than as a treatise. I thought from looking over Mr. Cooke's compilation, that most if not all of the cases he has copied, might be simply referred to, and much of the bulk and much of the price of the book be conveniently diminished. To the last edition of that work which has appeared in this country, I meant to add as many of the later cases, as the irregular transmission of law books hither, would enable me.
"But on proceeding with the work, I found so much reason to consult the cases quoted, so many points of discordant decision, and so many observations arising which I was tempted to insert, that I determined to refer to every case myself, and to abridge it for myself. And this I have done, so far as I was enabled, by the books I collected for the purpose: making use of Cooke chiefly as a reporter of cases, not elsewhere to be found.
"In the midst of this occupation, and on my release from imprisonment, the arrangement of my business at home was in no small degree encumbered by the death of my wife a few days before my arrival. This occasioned a melancholy intermission of two months, and my private concerns in Philadelphia for another month, rendered it impossible for me to attend as I wished to the present publication.
"I mention these circumstances, because it has been a subject of much surprise, I find, among those who are kind enough to interest themselves in my occupation and to be anxious for my success, that the book has not been published before. Those however, who know the difficulty of mental labour under mental depression, will make some allowance for the time required in arranging from actual perusal of the cases, above two thousand citations.
"This book was nearly printed off, before I could obtain sight, of the 8th vol. of the Term Reports, or of the Reports of B. and P., or the third volume of Anstruther, or the 3d vol. of Vezey, junr. although the 4th vol. I understand has been published in England. If therefore all the cases they furnish on the present subject, are not cited in their respective places, I hope I shall stand excused.
"I am persuaded however, that although the present work is imperfect, and may in some instances be found inaccurate, it will prove an useful compilation; and will be found to contain all the points and cases which are to be met with in the latest editions I have seen here of Green or Cooke: together with many others which reporters since the second edition of the last mentioned work, have furnished to the profession.
"Where the law appeared to me to be settled, I have given the points and the references, as briefly as I could; but wherever I found any contrariety of decision, I have thought it right to trace the history of the question, and to give the cases more at length in their chronological order.
"I am aware that I ought to make some apology for the freedom with which I have given my opinion on many parts of the bankrupt law, and the observations I have sometimes ventured to make, in opposition to acknowledged authority, and far superior abilities. But the bankrupt system is new in this country; its defects are very many; far more than I have touched upon: so many as to induce a doubt from the bench whether it had not done more harm than good in England: Some few of these defects we have remedied: most of them we have retained. It is likely that some time or other, at the expiration of the present act, and when we have experienced the effect of it, the whole law will undergo a revival, and I have thought it my duty
occasionally to observe upon such parts of it as seemed to me injurious or inconvenient. I have much more frequently resisted than indulged this inclination; and as the book is intended for a country where the law may be considered as an experiment, I hope the liberty I have taken will not be deemed too great.
"Indeed I have received the draught of a bill brought into the last Congress, and intended to be discussed in the next, introducing several alterations in the existing law. But as it is uncertain whether any and how much of it will be carried, or what course the projected alteration will take, I have not thought proper to notice it any further here, or to insert the proposed bill at the end of this treatise.
"The plan upon which I have proceeded in altering the common forms of precedents, I have noticed in the appendix. There can be no doubt of the excellence of a much unnecessary tautology in the English forms, though I have been careful in the pruning. In all cases, I have pursued the words of the act of Congress as a substitute for the expressions of the English statutes.
"The addenda for which I am obliged to Mr. Du Ponceau, will be deemed a valuable addition to this book, in every commercial country, and I hope will furnish some hints in case of any future alteration of the law here.
"With these preliminary observations I submit the work to the reader."
For sale, a few copies of the above work, price 4 dollars, at the office of the National Intelligencer.
