Sec. 3. And be it further enacted , That the president and directors cause to be written or printed, certificates for the shares of the stock in the said company, and shall deliver one such certificate, signed by the president and countersigned by the treasurer to each person for every share subscribed by him, which certificate shall be transferable by him, subject however to all payments due, or to grow due thereon, and such assignee having first caused the transfer or assignment to be entered in a book of the company to be kept for that purpose, shall thenceforth become a member of the said company.

CONGRESS. OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MAY 1, 1802.
Debate on the motion to 'recommit the report of the committee of Investigation.' (Mr. Bayard's speech continued.)
Mr. Bayard. I know not, that there was complete satisfaction, as to the manner of each disbursement, but I mean, that it sufficiently appeared that the money had been expended on the public account. Thus an unsettled account probably less in amount than 2000 dollars, give the appearance of a balance unaccounted for, exceeding 880,000 dollars. There are numerous instances of the same kind. In the list of balances is the sum of 122,000 dollars, charged against Capt. Vance, and it is stated in the annexed note, that it appears that the whole sum has been duly applied—So against Benjamin Williamson is charged a sum, exceeding 235,000, though it is stated, that he has furnished accounts of the application of the whole sum. It is needless to cite other instances of a similar kind; those which have been shewn, must convince the whole house, that the report is not explicit, and is extremely exposed to a false interpretation. The objection to this part of the report, furnishes the strongest ground for a recommitment. It certainly cannot be the design, to raise a belief, that millions of the public money remains unaccounted for when the documents from which all our knowledge is derived, shew but a very small sum remains
unaccounted for, & when I undertake to say, that the evidence before us, is not sufficient to prove, that there is a dollar due to the United States. Can it be the interest of any in the nation, or of any member upon this floor, to destroy the public confidence in the general administration of the government. Let the pecuniary honesty of one administration be suspected and their successors will soon sink under the same odious suspicion. On such a subject, we should banish our partialities and antipathies, not merely as a sacrifice which belongs to justice, but as an act required by a great national and common interest. I acknowledge that this part of the report will be harmless in the hands of those who will read, and are able to understand the document on which it is founded. But the bulk of the document will probably exclude it from the public papers, and the greater number of persons who read the report, will read it without explanation. The probability therefore, of the report's creating false impressions, of a nature extremely derogatory from the honor of the government, would alone be a sufficient motive with me to vote in favor of the motion to recommit.
There are many other grounds upon which I consider the report exceptional. It is not however my intention at this late hour (6 o'clock) to enter into all the details of the report. My observations will be confined to a few prominent and important points, upon which the different members of the committee, held very opposite opinions. I had no knowledge of the resolution of my friend from Connecticut (Mr. Griswold) to submit the motion on the table, before the meeting of the house this morning, and am therefore the more gratified, that the honorable mover has taken so comprehensive a view of the subject, as to render it totally unnecessary for me to go over the whole of the ground.
I shall by the indulgence only of a few words, upon one or two heads, respecting which, the opinion I entertain, is decidedly opposed to that, expressed by a majority of the committee. I cannot well conceive of a plainer mistake, than what appears in the opinion, pronounced on the purchase of six navy yards, made by the late secretary of the navy. The committee I think, ought to be allowed an opportunity of reviewing that opinion.—Four of those six yards, are considered as purchased without authority, and the money paid for them misapplied.
By the acts of the legislature of February 1799 the secretary of the navy, was directed to cause to be built, six ships, each to carry not less than 74 guns; and six sloops of war, of 18 guns.—For this purpose, a million of dollars was appropriated, 200,000 dollars were appropriated to the purchase of land, bearing timber suitable for the navy, and fifty thousand dollars for the making of two docks. These laws passed on successive days, indicated the design of a permanent navy establishment. It was perfectly understood, that the ships of the line, were not directed to be built for the occasional defence of the country at that period, but were intended as the commencement of a lasting system of defence, which was expected to encrease with the growth of the commerce and resources of the country. It was far from our expectation, that the navy of the United States, was to be limited to six ships of the line, or to any number within the convenient means of the country, short of a force adequate to render our flag respectable and our navigation secure. It was not supposed that the seventy fours would be launched for several years, but we had hopes when they left the stocks, a flourishing commerce would enable us to lay the keels of new ships in their places. Under this view, were the 200,000 dollars appropriated to the purchase of land producing timber fit for a navy. With this knowledge, so plainly derivable from the policy pursued by the legislature what was the secretary of the department of the navy to do. It was made his duty to build six seventy fours and six sloops of war. It is surely not expected, that they were to be built on the water or in the air, and of consequence, it will be allowed that he had authority to provide yards for the purpose of constructing them. The public had no yards, and it was therefore necessary to obtain ground from individuals. As there were no persons disposed to make charitable grants, it remained only for the United States to purchase ground in fee simple, or for a term of years, paying a gross sum or an annual rent. The act of congress, directing the ships to be built, appropriated not a dollar either for the renting or for the purchase of land. But a million of dollars were appropriated to the building of the ships, which was directed to be done, but which could not be done, without an expenditure for land.—Can there be a plainer proposition, than that an appropriation for a certain service, embraces every article without which the service cannot be performed.—In the present instance, the service imposed upon the secretary, could not be performed without obtaining navy yards at the public expence. It therefore rested in his discretion, for the faithful exercise of which he was accountable to the government, either to purchase or rent the ground, necessary for the yards. It was his duty to conform to the views of the legislature, and to make such an arrangement, as would be most advantageous to the public. If it answered the object, and was most for the interest of the government to rent, then surely he ought to have rented, but if it comported more with their

views, or was more to their benefit to purchase, it was then his duty to purchase. (To be continued.)

James Smith, carpenter at Fell's Point, sickened the 13th, and is now in great danger.
Charles Frederick Lanberger, a baker, in light street, sickened on the 17th, and is now dangerously ill in the hospital.
Mrs. Smith, wife of James Smith, sickened the 19th, and is now ill.
Nicholas Willis, who lived in the counting house of Mr. Repold, sickened on the 11th, and is now well.
In the investigation of the circumstances of the above cases of fever, the Board of Health have ascertained, to their entire satisfaction, two points of material interest to our citizens—
1st, That in no instance has the disease been communicated to the attendants or friends of the sick.
2d, That from the different situations of those who have fallen victims to the disease, they could not have derived it from the same neighbourhood.
The Board are, therefore, willing to believe, that those instances of disease which have unhappily appeared in our city are solitary cases of malignant fever, from which, of late years, we have not been wholly exempt during the hot months.
These observations are not made to lull our citizens into a security that might prove fatal; but to suggest the necessity of vigilance, without alarm, and of an attention to individual cleanliness, which no police can sufficiently inforce: for, from whatever source the yellow fever may be derived, it is now admitted that impure air is necessary to its fatal propagation.
By order of the board, ASHTON ALEXANDER, President.
Attest, ADAM FONERDEN, sec'ty.
Arrived, schr. Chance , capt. West, 19 days from Kingston (Jam.) Left there, schr. Thomas , Boden, just arrived from this port, and several other Philadelphia vessels, names unknown. A brig for Philadelphia sailed with the Chance . The schr. Milford , Elwood, of Baltimore, failed two days before, to touch at St. Jago. In lat. 21, long. 85, spoke the schr.—captain Clarke, from port Antonio, bound to Norfolk.
The schooner Natutilus , Bishop, failed from Kingston 27th of June, for Baltimore; the same evening was struck with lightning, which tore her foretopmast and shrouds entirely to pieces; the foretopmast little less injured;—after which it passed through the bend. Two of the crew, John Crosley and William Johnson were killed, and Horace Walker much bruised, with the loss of both eyes. When the confusion occasioned had subsided, captain Bishop bore away for land, and next morning anchored at Black River, when he took the pilot boat & proceeded to Savanna-la-Mar, from whence he intended going to Hayanna to get a mast, not being able to procure one there.
Flour at Kingston 7 dollars.

SATURDAY, JULY 24.
The party intended for this evening is unavoidably postponed in consequence of the Brumalia being priorly engaged—It will take place next Saturday.
We are authorised to inform the public that the Theatre will positively be opened in the course of the ensuing week; the entertainments will be expressed in the bills for the day.
The language of the French Statesmen towards Great Britain, has undergone a vast change, latterly. The Archbishop of Tours, in his sermon before Bonaparte, says, "When one has seen the power, [meaning the English] the best established on its ancient firm and constitution, and still more strong by the calmness of its manners, and the happy ascendancy of national habits, tremble, in every part, at
the approach of danger," &c. "It was then first felt by every government what was to be feared from the convulsions of a single people, and the revolutions of a single empire." And Felix Faulcon, one of the French legislators, says, "Thus, then, we are going to live in future, in friendship with the illustrious neighbours, who preceded us in the career of liberty! Those honorable islanders will see, that the French will contend with them in the lists for brilliant discoveries, pacific conquests, and true glory." Panegyric cannot be stronger than this.
COMMERCIAL.
The commercial council of Bordeaux have recommended, that no foreigners shall be allowed to sell their ships in France; that the wood in the interior of France fit for ship building should be immediately sent to the sea-port; that importations of materials from the north of Europe, should be particularly encouraged by premiums, &c. that ships of war en route should be immediately dispatched to Guiana for timber, &c. and that foreigners should upon no account be permitted to interfere in the coasting trade of France.
The latest London papers mention that the French have issued orders to prevent the importation of British merchandise by the way of the left bank of the Rhine and the frontiers of Holland. The French appear determined to restrict the trade of all nations—this ought to produce countervailing measures. In Great Britain it will. The Gallic rulers do not agree in the sentiments of some Americans that commerce requires no fostering care, that it will regulate itself.
LONDON, May 27.
Reported attempt on Bonaparte.
A most extraordinary report has been brought from Calais, by a vessel which arrived at Dover last night. It is, that the life of Bonaparte has been again attempted.—The attempt is said to have been made upon the parade at the Quintidi review. The conspirators surrounded him, and stabbed him. Happily the wound was slight; an Aide-Camp, however, near him, was mortally wounded.
We give this as a rumour, without pledging ourselves in the slightest degree for its authenticity. It may be only an echo of a report circulated here some days ago, on the authority of some private accounts from Paris, which mentioned that a conspiracy against Bonaparte's life had been planned, but had been discovered.
From Dover, May 26.—The Rambler , arrived here from Calais last night, with 11 gentlemen passengers.
"A report is in circulation here by some of the above passengers, that Bonaparte was surrounded on the parade by a band of persons who attempted to stab him; he was slightly wounded himself, and his secretary mortally wounded.—This I mention merely as the report of the moment, not having time, as most of the passengers are on board the vessel, to get farther particulars."
HOUSE OF COMMONS—May 26.
173,000l. were granted for the relief of the suffering clergy and laity of France, Corsican Emigrants, St. Domingo sufferers, and American loyalists.
FROM PARIS, May 22.
At the making of the signed list, respecting the first Consul's being elected for life, the night before last, only 7000 names appeared, and most of these military or placemen.

THE TURKISH REBEL.
The cabinet of Vienna has received important information respecting Pashwan Oglou, by an Austrian, who served as a subaltern officer in the Pacha's army but deserted from Widden on the 4th of April, to return home. He states, in an affidavit made before the Austrian Commandant at Mehadia, that the flower of Pashwan Oglou's army consists of christians of almost every country in Europe, whom he pays and treats in the most liberal manner. Of natives and Janissaries he can always command from 10 to 12,000 men, who are better disciplined than the troops of the Grand Seignor. Many Frenchmen, who escaped from Hungary, where they were retained prisoners of war, and near 1000 English emigrants, form separate corps.
HOUSE OF LORDS—May 26. Lord Suffolk announced his intention of
bringing forward a motion on Thursday next, (June 5) for a censure of the late Ministers, for the recent war, its causes and consequences down to the "degrading" peace.
A bill was read for keeping full the number of militia to be embodied for monthly exercise, and to empower the king to augment it, in case of invasion or any other public exigency, 20,000 men—making then in the whole 62,000. The bill passed for a third reading. Lord Hobart said he was in favor of the bill, because of the relative power of France and the rest of Europe not from any opinion that the present French government did not sincerely wish for the continuance of peace; nor from any opinion that it was less likely to continue than any former peace. Lord Fitzwilliam viewed the peace as precarious and uncertain; and inferred that such was really the opinion of Lord Hobart. The Marquis of Buckingham declared his perfect conviction of the insecurity of the present peace.
Many of the greatest characters of our country have been charged with embezzling the public money;—and nothing has contributed more than this charge to destroy the confidence the people had in their patriotism. It was promised that these charges should be proved to be true, and for this purpose "a committee of investigation" was chosen from the democratic phalanx, to investigate their accounts. As congress were about to break up, this committee made their "Report," and to the astonishment of all of their sect who were not in the secret, in this very report; establish the integrity of the accused persons beyond all manner of doubt. The only charge they dared to make against them, was, that when too large a sum was appropriated for one object, and a sum not sufficient for another, they had taken the overplus of the one to fill the deficiency of the other, when the public good required it: or, in other words, that they had not confined themselves strictly to the appropriations made by law. It shews to what a great strait these fellows must have been driven, when they are compelled to substantiate their assertions by such lame charges as these. What would you think of a preacher who should tell you from the pulpit that it was highly immoral to eat or drink, and should immediately go home and practice it himself? And equally absurd is this charge of the "investigating committee." I would ask, what appropriation was there made by law for sending Mr. Dawson to France as bearer of the treaty? What appropriation was there for repairing the French Corvette Berceau ? What appropriation was made for sending a squadron of ships to protect our Mediterranean trade? The last you will say was a measure which tended to the public good, and therefore, though no appropriation was made by law, still Mr. Jefferson deserves the thanks of the public for it. I answer that the "committee of investigation," have acknowledged that every deviation that was made by Pickering or Stoddert from appropriations made by law tended to the public benefit, and therefore, according to these acknowledgments deserve praise instead of censure—but with such unlawful use of the public money as Mr. Jefferson has made in the affairs of Dawson, and the French Corvette, neither Pickering nor Stoddert has ever been charged with, and I have no doubt that Mr. Jefferson, at some future time, will have to answer for this conduct. The charge therefore, of deviating from specified appropriations, when the public is benefitted by such deviations, is childish and insignificant in the extreme—the responsibility of the officer for the due performance of his duty is the only security a government can have, in certain cases, for expenditures of public money, and the investigating committee could not but be acquainted with this circumstance at the time they made this futile charge.
