RAN AWAY on Saturday, the 5th of this month, a bright Mulatto Man, named STEPHEN; about 28 or 30 years of age: He is about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, pleasant countenance, speaks rather slow, but very active and handy at any work; he served an apprenticeship to a weaver, is a good workman at that business, and a remarkable good hand in a brick-yard; in short, he is smart at any thing he is set about; he is very fond of spirits of any kind. I cannot describe his dress.

BANK STOCK.
WE shall dismiss the first question as to the legal right of the Commissioners to sell the Bank Stock at all, with a brief examination of the 3d section of the act of 1796, from which only, it is admitted on all hands, they derive their authority. The section is expressed in these words. "And it further enacted, that it shall be deemed a good and valid execution of the power to borrow, given by the act, for the said Commissioners, in the event of the Sinking Fund, to cause to be issued, certificates of stock, and to cause the same to be sold in the United States, or elsewhere: Provided, that no more than one moiety of the said stock shall be sold under par; and it shall be lawful for the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, if they shall find the same to be most advantageous, to sell such and so many of the shares of the stock of the Bank of the United States, belonging to the United States, as they may think proper; and that they apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of the said debts, instead of selling certificates of stock in the manner prescribed in this act."
The friends of Mr. Gallatin now endeavour to make it appear, that by a fair construction of this section, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund were vested with an unlimited discretion as to the sale of the bank stock, guided and restrained by nothing but the dictates of their own opinion, that such sale would be advantageous to the United States; and, therefore, if they executed this trust according to the best of their judgment, they are not amenable to any one. It is admitted that this construction is essentially necessary to the defence of Mr. Gallatin, but if we are not much mistaken, it is a defence which can never be allowed him.
The words are, that "it shall be lawful for the commissioners to sell, if they shall find the same to be most advantageous"—how "most advantageous?" The act does not stop here, and leave it entirely to them to say, whether it would generally be advantageous or not to sell, but by the subsequent clause, namely, "instead of selling certificates of stock;" it evidently confines them to make an election between these two things, and to decide which will be most advantageous, to issue the certificates, or sell the stock. We have seen that it was first necessary for the commissioners to show that the proceeds of the sales were to be applied to the extinguishment of a pressing demand against the United States by the United States Bank, but that no such demand had been made, and, therefore, that they had not brought themselves within the act in this respect. We shall now see that they did not even once take into their consideration the question presented to them, whether it would be preferable to sell the stock instead of issuing certificates, and therefore that here again, they fail to bring themselves within the power conferred by the act.
The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, in their report of the 7th of June, state, as their reason for selling the Bank Stock, not that it had become necessary to pay the Bank of the United States, and that they were reduced to the alternative of choosing between selling six per cent. certificates, or the Bank Stock, and that they thought it more advantageous to sell the former: They tell us nothing like this; indeed it would have exposed them to a question which they might have supposed would now be kept out of sight; for it would have been asked, how they could make it appear that it was more advantageous to sell bank stock, at a loss of one hundred and nineteen thousand dollars less than the market price, (to say nothing of the loss arising from parting with this valuable and productive fund,) than to sell six per cent. certificates at par?
At the time that a partial sale of the stock was resorted to by the former commissioners, these certificates could only be sold at a discount of 20 per cent; the commissioners therefore, prudently preferred selling Bank stock; but it would be now a little difficult to defend the sale now of the remainder of the stock for the same reason; and we have seen by the act that they are expressly confined to this; none
other can be ing to ju bank to confo mis S
admitted. Instead of attempting themselves for the sale of the stock, by showing that they have used to the act of 1796, the Commissioners, in their report, tell us that the Secretary of the Treasury had reported to the Board, that it was necessary to make provision for the payment of the debt which would become due in Holland during the first five months of the year 1803, that he had found it difficult to obtain bills on Holland, and that after various experiments to get the remittance made, Mr. Alexander Baring had offered to do it at a certain rate of discount, "PROVIDED HOWEVER—that the United States, shall sell to him the two thousand two hundred and twenty shares of the bank of the U. States, owned by the U. States, at forty five per cent advance, or at the rate of five hundred and eighty dollars per share; which last proposition is recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury, as the most eligible; as exclusively of the advantageous rate of exchange, thereby secured, the transaction will not have any unfavorable effect on the rate of exchange generally, and by so considerably diminishing the demand, will enable the United States to obtain what is still wanted at a reasonable rate: And because in his opinion the price obtained for the bank shares is more than could be obtained were they thrown into the market for sale, and is more than their intrinsic value. Whereupon it was resolved by the board, that the Secretary of the Treasury be authorised to sell the shares of the stock of the Bank of the United States, belonging to the United States."
Now, we would thank any man to show us how this is to be justified under the act of 1796. That act was made for the express and sole purpose of enabling the commissioners to sell the stock as a last alternative, in a case of particular emergency then happening, and with the proceeds to pay off a debt of upwards of four millions due to the Bank of the U. States, and then pressingly demanded. But now, in 1802, three persons, Mr. Madison, Mr. Gallatin, and Mr. Lincoln, resolve that Mr. Gallatin be authorised to sell the bank stock of the United States, because—it will be of service to him in a bargain he is about making with Mr. Baring, for remitting guilders to Holland. And now because the proceeds of this valuable and highly productive stock, thus sacrificed to aid a bungling operation, have been appropriated to pay the debt due to the U. States, though not asked for nor desired, while more than four millions lie dead in the vault, it is called a compliance with the law of 1796—and we are called upon to admire Monsieur Gallatin as the greatest financier in the present world.
(To be Continued.)
From the BALANCE. ON THE IMPOLICY OF A SPEEDY AD- MISSION OF ALIENS TO A PARTI- CIPATION OF THE RIGHTS OF SUFFRAGE. No. V.
THE pathetic appeal to the moral sensibilities of the nation, which Mr. Jefferson used as an enforcement to his recommendation of a speedy and almost immediate admission of foreigners to the rights of suffrage, is worthy of particular notice. "And shall we refuse (he says) to the unhappy fugitives from distress, that hospitality which the savages of the wilderness extended to our fathers arriving in this land?"
The real force of this argument would operate in a direction entirely opposite to the intention with which it has been urged. The various measures of hospitality which have been extended to Europeans by the savages of the wilderness, have generally been meted to them again in such a manner as to have given them cause, in the bitterness of their hearts, to curse the day when those strangers were received with affection and confidence to their bosoms. In the islands of St. Domingo and Cuba, in South America and in Africa; many millions of the wretched natives have been either murdered or enslaved within the three last centuries, by European adventurers, whom at first they had received with unsusppecting confidence. And let the immense plains of Indostan, watered with the tears and fertilized by the blood of its native children, bear witness to the requitals of avaricious Europeans, for the hospitality they had received, and the kindnesses which had been heaped upon them. Indeed, it is granted with pleasure and with pride, that our fathers
arriving in this land requited the hospitality of the savages, whose territories they intended to possess, with a degree of equity; and that the first European settlements in New England, as well as in Pennsylvania, under the direction of the excellent William Penn, were made by a fair purchase of the Indians. Yet the posterity of those Indians have experienced the rueful effects of the easy credulity of their fathers: overwhelmed by a superior power, loaded with scorn and contempt—their hunting grounds seized, their spirits broken, their health impaired and their morals corrupted by the poison that flows from our distilleries; they have been constantly and rapidly wasting in numbers and strength, and are threatened with a total and speedy extinction from the face of the earth.
It is no wise, however, the design of these essays to oppose or discourage, in a general view, a hospitable reception and usage of foreigners coming among us. This point has never been contested. The great and only question is, shall foreigners be speedily admitted to the rights of suffrage, and to a consequent participation in the national sovereignty. Mr. Jefferson certainly must have known that hospitality and naturalization are things essentially different; and that the former may be exercised in its utmost extent, even where the latter is refused. A man that receives a necessitous stranger into his house, finds him bed and board, employs him and pays him liberal wages, does every thing toward him that hospitality requires; and if this stranger, after a short residence, should insolently demand a participation in the government of the family, he would deserve to be turned out of doors. Now this seems to be an exact miniature of the subject that we have been viewing on a large scale. This whole nation is, in a sense, but one great family, distinguished from all the nations and families of the earth by the structure of its government, and by the peculiar nature of its regulations, laws and customs.
Far be it from the writer of this, that he should feel or aim to excite any prejudice, much less animosity against the people of other nations: or that he should wish to abridge them of any rights which they can enjoy in this country, consistently with the public peace and safety. It is not forgotten that the brave Montgomery, a native of Ireland, led an American army to the plains of Abram, and was slain while valiantly fighting for the liberties of this country. It is not forgotten that several deserving officers and many brave soldiers in the armies of the immortal Washington, were of foreign extraction, and some of them, then but lately come over. It is not denied, but readily granted, that there are now many excellent people in this country, who emigrated, and some of them lately, from the various parts of Europe: but still our arguments against the speedy admission of emigrants from foreign nations to the rights of citizenship remain unshaken.
Emigrants from foreign countries who have lately landed on our shores, are mostly of two opposite descriptions. Some of them bring with them a strong and invincible attachment to the monarchical and aristocratical governments they leave: and these will naturally despise our republican institutions; and are therefore unfit to have an agency in our elections. The other class, which is unspeakably the most numerous, consists of those whose minds are set afloat from all restraints, by having imbibed the disorganizing principles of revolutionary France; and who bring with them an implacable hatred of the civil institutions of the nations they have left. And are these proper materials for building up our republic; or can it be expected that men who have attempted to tear the bowels of their own country, will instantly become quiet citizens by being adopted in this ? As well might we expect to gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles. The subject that I have been discussing is of vast importance to the people of the United States; and it is solemnly enforced by a recurrence to ancient history. Not to mention other fallen republics, the page of history informs us that one immediate cause of the loss of Roman liberty was the incorporating of vast numbers of aliens with the republic. These were made subservient to the ambition of Cæsar. That arch-demagogue, that sly hypocrite and flatterer of the people, subdued the Roman Senate, subverted the republic and annihilated the liber-
ties of his country, by the help of an army composed principally of desperate adventurers from abroad. This article of Roman history should be improved as a Beacon to direct the councils of our nation. The foreigners now in our country are no fewer, it is said, than several hundred thousands; their numbers are constantly and rapidly increasing; and amid the conflict of parties, their influence is peculiarly dangerous. If a predominant party should facilitate their naturalization with a view to obtain the suffrages, it will be using a terrible machine that would most certainly recoil upon the hand that holds it; for the next succeeding party that should predominate might try the same expedient; and so proceed in succession, till our elections having become utterly corrupted and our public councils distracted, some Cæsar, crafty, bold and energetic, erecting his own popularity by flattering the vilest of the people, and aided by foreign adventurers and unprincipled natives shall suddenly overthrow this republic and establish, as in France, a military despotism.

K. confirms the account of the Spanish orders of Jan. 31st, for all American vessels at Cadiz to leave that place; of the shipwrecked and dismasted state of many. American vessels in that port at the time; of the American Consul's active exertions on the occasion; and the answer from Madrid, that all vessels that brought certificates from the Spanish Consuls should be admitted, after riding 20 days quarantine, and those that had none to be ordered away. Two vessels that had none, and were dismasted could not go out. The Consul had written to Madrid to know what was to be done with them. Very distressing weather has been experienced on the coast of Spain this winter. On the 9th and 10th Jan. 14 sail of shipping went on shore in Cadiz bay; 14 or 15 in Gibraltar; and about 20 in Lisbon, besides a number lost on the coast. The ship Polly, of Boston, capt. Barker, bound to Dublin, shipped a sea on the coast of Ireland, which carried away his mast, and boats, knocked open his hatchways, filled his ship partly full of water, so that he was obliged to put away for Cadiz, where he arrived on the 23d day of February, in great distress.

Extract of a letter from an intelligent mer- chant in Liverpool, to a house in this city, dated March 4, 1803. "The fine qualities of tobacco are much demanded, and the inferior also go off well. Sugars and coffee are much in of late, and the stocks being reduced, the prices are adva- Dye woods are scarce, but the present prices are above the peace level. Tallow, Deer skins, cane reeds, and horns, are steady and likely to remain so. Naval stores are above their level and must fall. The same may be observed of Rice."
There have been immense importations of Quercitron Bark of late. Real good is worth 25s. but there is no demand for inferior, of which the stocks are very hea- vy. Some Spanish oak bark for Tanners, has lately sold at £. 8 per ton. Ashes have lately advanced, but will probably be lower. Dry hides are much wanted and the stocks small. Flour and grain very dull sale, and rather declining.— Staves of good quality are wanted, but large quantities of inferior on hand. Sea Island, W. India and good New Orleans cottons are much wanted. Se- veral large arrivals of Carolina and Geor- gia upland Cotton of the new crop have taken place but the staple is not so good, nor is it so well cleaned as last year. These defects, together with the heavy im- portations, have greatly depressed it.—As the quantity of West India cotton on hand and expected, is very limited, there will be ample room for good Mississippi, which is the only substitute for West India. The manufactures are uncommonly brisk, and were never in a more flourishing state than at present."

Extract from the translation of Crell's Chemical Journal, published in 1791. "Amongst other singular properties of Charcoal, it has lately been discovered at Peterstburg, that all sorts of glass, ves- sels and other utensils, may be purified from long retained smells and taints of every kind, in the easiest and most per- fect manner, by rinsing them out well with Charcoal reduced to a fine powder after their grosser impurities have been scoured off with sand and pot ashes. That persons whose breath smells strong from a scorbutic disposition of the gums, may at any time get perfectly rid of this bad smell, by rubbing them out an washing out the mouth thoroughly with finely powdered Charcoal. This, at the same time, renders the teeth beautifully white. "And that brown (or otherwise color- ed) putrid stinking water may be deprived of its offensive smell, and rendered trans- parent, by means of the same substance. Hence Mr. Crell thinks it would be of use for preserving water sweet during sea voyages, to mix about five pounds of coarsely powdered Charcoal in every cask of water; it being only necessary after- wards to strain the water off, when wan- ten, through a linen bag."
A private account from France (pub- lished in a London paper of the 21st March) mentions another plot to assassinate the Chief Consul. A letter from Rouen, of the 23d February, states, that on the 21st a Frenchman, by the name of Bourguais, just returned from England, was, with a number of his accomplices, arrested by the government, in consequence of information that they had entered into a plot to
assassinate the Chief Consul, and after- wards to seize on the reins of government. A number of papers were found upon him, which are said to develop the diabolical scheme, and to implicate a number of per- sons in England, emigrants from France. M. Bourguais went over to England in the month of July last, with recommendations to several respectable families to procure him a situation as a tutor. He did not succeed in this, and the account is, that he was drawn into the conspiracy by some of those emigrants, resident in England, who still cherish the thoughts of a coun- ter-revolution by the means of tumult and anarchy.
It was at Inverary a disappointed tra- veller, who had been confined to his inn three or four days by the wet, peevishly exclaimed at his departure, "what, does it rain here always?" "Hoot, na," an- swered the landlord, with great simplic- ity, "it snaws awhiles." [London paper.]
From the New York Evening Post.
Parties.—When Henry the IVth of France was struggling for his crown, amid the contention of conflicting parties, he pursued a conduct, and was actuated by motives evincive of real greatness.— Embarrassed in his operations by the vio- lent animosities that subsisted between his protestant and catholic subjects, the event became extremely doubtful. The Duke de Sully advised him at this critical jun- cture of his affairs, to adhere to the protest- ant interest, dismiss the catholics of his army, and rely for success on the efforts of a select party. Henry's reply to this proposition, was every way worthy of sound principles and excellent disposition. It is not, said he, the Crown of France, but the hearts of the people I wish to se- cure. Choosing rather to lose a crown to which he was justly entitled, than by such an expedient create a division, that would have involved him in inextricable difficulties. Had Mr. Jefferson, when struggling for the presidency of the U. States, possessed a sentiment thus noble, it would have been happy for our country. Had he been less intent to gain an office, and more scrupulous as to the means used to effect the object; had he sought to unite conflicting parties, and secure the hearts of the people whose government he was to administer; had personal ambition been subservient to the interest and happiness of his country, and had not the odious distinction of set been introduced to keep alive dissensions, and create disgust, we should not have been in all probability at this time a divided people. There was a moment when professions were believed, and a great body of the federalists were disposed to place confidence in a man who on paper appeared plausible. But we might as well attempt "to pluck bright honor from the pale-faced moon," as ex- pect temperance and moderation from the leaders of a hungry faction.
Office, the emoluments of office, the loaves and fishes have a charm more pow- erful than all the state considerations of honor, virtue and patriotism. The same spirit that prompted to a dereliction of principle and a consequent adherence to artful intrigue, has since operated to se- cure the continuance of an ill-gotten pow- er. Executive influence has been strength- ened & a precedent established, that has given a fatal wound to elective franchise; a species of bribery that puts up offices to the highest bidder at the auction of elections. The same spirit that opened the purse of a penurious expectant, to reward a mis- creant for the most atrocious calumnies that ever came from the pen of man—bid- ding a price for iniquity, as a profitable speculation, has since extended its dele- terious influence, by gratifying the claims of dependant satellites, & answering the demands of political office jobbers. The same spirit that dictated the celebrated letter to Mazzei, which slandered our go- vernment, and pointed a dagger at the bosom of his country's benefactor, has since led to measures ruinous to the dig- nity of that government, and fatal to the constitution.

A New and Practical Work.
A PROPOSAL, By William T. Birch, & Abraham Small, of the City of Philadelphia, FOR PUBLISHING IN VOLUMES, BY SUBSCRIPTION, THAT USEFUL AND POPULAR WORK,
THE Domestic Encyclopædia, OR, A DICTIONARY OF FACTS, AND USEFUL KNOWLEDGE:
COMPREHENDING A concise view of the latest discoveries, inventions, and improvements, chiefly applicable to rural and domestic eco- nomy.
TOGETHER WITH Descriptions of the most interesting ob- jects of nature and art; the history of men and animals, in a state of health or disease; and practical hints respecting the arts and manufactures, both familiar and commercial.
Illustrated with numerous Engravings and Cuts.
By A. F. M. WILLICH, A. M. Author of the Lectures on Diet and Regi- men, &c. &c.
FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, With additions, applicable to the present situation of the U. States,
By JAMES MEASE, M. D. Fellow of the American Philosophical So- ciety,
And Corresponding Member of the Literary and Phil. Soc. at Manchester.
From the above general con- tents of the work, it will be easily conceived that the nature of the Domestic Encyclopædia is peculiarly adapted to the present wants of the United States. Perhaps it contains a greater number of useful facts than have ever appeared in the compass of four moderate volumes. No pains, trouble, or expense appear to have been spared to render this economical dictionary as complete as the present advancement of agricul- ture, gardening, of the familiar arts and manu- factures, as well as the imperfect state of medi- cal science, would respectively admit. It in- cludes almost every object more or less connect- ed with rural, domestic, and animal economy. Hence the reader will find numerous experiments related, many hundreds of which have not before been published in the English language.
With regard to the additions, the editor will observe, that no exertions shall be wanting on his part, to render them as useful as possible to the people of this country—the diseases com- monly prevalent therein, with the most approv- ed methods of prevention and cure, shall be par- ticularly detailed—an account shall be given of all the discoveries which have been made in the United States; and many Machines for dimi- nishing labour, which are peculiar thereto, shall be described, and illustrated in Plates—In short, every useful fact in rural and domestic economy, omitted by Dr. Willich, and which may be known to the editor, shall be inserted; and in order to take advantage of progress- ing improvements, arrangements have been made to have all the periodical works on the above sub- jects, forwarded as soon as published in England or France.
The Publishers have but little to add for them- selves; knowing, that professions generally are, and perhaps, ought to be, in a great measure, unavailing, they refer the Public to the books they have already published. They have given to the world two editions of Dr. Russell's Mo- dern Europe, within the last three years; the manner, therefore, in which they execute their undertakings, can be ascertained. In the pre- sent work, if they do not advance much, they pledge themselves not to degenerate. It shall be printed in the first style of uniformity and taste. The Paper shall be superior; and the Engravings at least equal to those in the London copy.
Conditions.
I. It shall be printed in five handsome octavo volumes. One volume shall be de- livered every three months. Price to sub- scribers, two dollars and fifty cents per volume, in boards, payable on delivery.
II. The first volume shall appear on the first of April, 1803, and a volume regu- larly every three months afterwards.
III. It may be had in one delivery when finished, at twelve dollars and fifty cents, in boards, or fifteen dollars well bound, payable on the delivery of the books. It will, however, be only obtained at these prices, by those who give the publishers their names during the progress of the work to take it when finished.
N. B. The public will please to take notice, that the amount in price of this improved and extended work, is not higher than the London work in four volumes.
Subscriptions to the above work will be received by Samuel Bishop and by James Kennedy, Esq. Alexandria.

Will be sold at the Coffee House in Alex- andria, on Wednesday the 1st of June next,
