ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS
REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th
of October last, a negro man slave named
BOB,
about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high
straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath
an impediment in his speech which prevents his,
readily replying to a question. He commonly
wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of
good clothing, a description of which is unneces-
sary, as it is probable he has changed them. He
has been frequently seen about town since he ab-
sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by
his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave
of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now
said to be free. The above reward will be paid
for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and
a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis-
covery of those who have been accessory to his
concealment.
Captain's of vessels, &c. are forewarned at
their peril, not to take him away.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, January 6.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for the appoint- ment of a committee of enquiry into the official conduct of
SAMUEL CHASE.
(Mr. Findley's speech Continued.)
The judiciaries in all the states of the u- nion are rendered more or less independ- ent, some are appointed for a short- er and some for longer periods. In New Jersey they are appointed for seven years, they were so in Pennsylvania formerly, since the revision of the constitution they are appointed during good behaviour; they are however, subject not only to removal by impeachment, but also by the voice of two thirds of each House for any cause which the House do not think a sufficient cause of impeachment; but in the federal government, there is no method provided for removing them for the most scanda- lous indiscretions, or incapacity, as even when they may unfortunately be under mental derangement, except by impeach- ment, which is inapplicable to official crimes and conducted with tedious forms. The power of impeaching being the only shield provided by the government, for the pro- tection of the citizens from judicial oppres- sion, and this House being the only consti- tutional organ for obtaining information of official excesses and bringing forward articles of impeachment, ought not to bind up their own hands from doing their duty, and this they will do if they reject the re- solution now on the table.
But while the gentlemen consider the character of these judges so sacred that their conduct cannot be enquired into not- withstanding such proofs or want of con- fidence in them, and that as the gentleman near me from S. Carolina, (Mr. Lowndes) has said he is afraid of impeachment, and grounds his fears on the incapacity or the unfitness of the members of this House, or because the members of this House may a- buse the power. Mr. F. asked were not the members of this House selected and qualified for the discharge of this necessa- ry duty? Were they not appointed by as respectable authority as the judges? Were they not under a solemn oath of office for the faithful discharge of this, as well as every part of their high trust? And were they not protected by special privileges and protection during the charge of their trust equally with the judges, and their stations as respectable as that of the judges —They are not only protected from civil actions, but are not subjected to impeach- ment for misbehaviour in office as the judges are. They are in their official ca- pacity subjected only to the censure of public opinion. If this is true it is impro- per, it is impolitic, for the members of this House to degrade their own character, it amounts to saying, they are not capable of discharging the trust they are solemnly bound to discharge and ought not to have been invested with. He knew however this was only introduced as an excuse for un- willingness. But the same gentleman adds, as a reason for opposing the resolution, that he is not acquainted with the history of the business. That is probably the case with him and others, especially such as had not a seat in the last session of Con- gress, or who resided at a great distance from the scene alluded to in the resolution —admitting this to be true, the best and the only regular way to become acquainted with the history of the case, is to carry the resolution into effect—to have a commit- tee appointed with such power as would enable them to procure such information as that gentleman and every other mem- ber who is uninformed could depend on. The gentleman's objection in fact is one of the strongest arguments in favor of the resolution. The gentleman from South Carolina has however offered one other objection to the resolution which merits some notice. He has said that if a com- mittee is appointed for the object propo- sed by the resolution, men of character and talents will not accept of appointments in the judiciary. The solidity of this ob- jection will be best examined by the test of observation, and experience. It has been already mentioned that several states have appointed their supreme judges for short periods, and that others have vested the legislature with the power of re- moving judges from office without im- peachment, merely on their own opinion.
Can the gentleman from South Carolina say, can any gentleman on this floor, where all the states are represented say, that these states are deficient in judges of res- pectability and talents? They cannot say so—there is no such complaint. The ju- diiciary of New Jersey, where the judges are chosen but for seven years, is as re- spectable and the application of her laws as well brought home to the security and hap- piness of her citizens as they are in the states where judges are appointed for life. The same may be asserted with confidence of the state of Pennsylvania, before the re- vision of her constitution as they are since —There is this difference however, where they have been appointed for limited peri- ods, there has been no impeachments or removals, and generally if not always, the judges were re-appointed, and justice was as well administered, but since they have been appointed during good behaviour there has at least in Pennsylvania, been both and more complaints of inattention, expence and delays in the administration of justice than had been formerly. Many of the judges however are very respectable and enjoy a high degree of confidence, but not more confidence than they did before the change of the constitution. There has been no attempt to remove or impeach the judges of the supreme court in this state.
To inquire into the conduct of the judges when confidence in them is evident- ly wanting is the only true way to secure the respectability of the judiciary. If that necessary confidence is withdrawn without cause, an official enquiry will restore confi- dence and the usefulness of the judges. This observation is supported by precedent and parliamentary usage. In that country from which precedents are so frequently sought one precedent offers itself to recollec- tion. In the year 1730 a committee of the British House of Commons was appointed to examine the jails. In the course of ex- amination the committee discovered that Sir R. Eyres, chief justice of the common pleas, a judge of very respectable character, was suspected not of tyranny on the bench or of putting a man's life in jeopardy, but of having held an improper correspondence with a person confined for a crime or mis- demeanor, and this suspicion chiefly sup- ported by anonymous letters. A commit- tee of the House of Commons were ap- pointed to make an enquiry and it was found to the satisfaction of the committee and of the people that the allegations on which the suspicion was founded were false, and the judges character was vindicated and restored.

Narrative of the loss of his Majesty's packet Lady Hobart, on an island of ice, in the Atlantic Ocean, the 28th of June, 1803, with a particular account of the providen- tial escape of the crew in two open boats. By WM. DORSET FELLOWES, Esq. com- mander.
(CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST.)
Having at length surmounted dangers and difficulties, which baffled all description, we rigged the foremast, and prepared to shape our course in the best manner that circum- stances would admit of, the wind blowing from the precise point on which it was necessary to sail, to reach the nearest land. An hour had scarcely elapsed from the time the ship struck till she foundered. The distribution of the crew had already been made, in the following order, which we af- terwards preserved:
In the Cutter, of the following dimen- sions, viz. twenty feet long, six feet four inches broad, and two feet six inches deep were embarked three ladies and myself; Captain Richard Thomas, of the navy; the French commander of the schooner (a vessel taken by the Lady Hobart two days before,) the master's mate, gunner steward, carpenter, and eight seamen, in all eighteen people; which, together with the provisions, brought the boat's gunwale down to six or seven inches of the water. From this confined space, some idea may be formed of our crowded state; but it is scarcely possible for the imagination to con- ceive the extent of our sufferings in con- sequence of it.
In the jolly boat, fourteen feet from stem to stern, five feet three inches broad, and two feet deep, were embarked Mr. Samuel Bargus, master, Lieut. Colonel George Cooke, of the 1st. regiment of guards; the boatswain, sail maker, and seven seamen; in all eleven persons.
The only provisions we were able to save consisted of between forty and fifty pounds of biscuit; one demijohn, or vessel, con- taining five gallons of water; a small jug of the same, and part of a small barrel of
spruce beer; one demijohn of rum, a few bottles of port wine, with two compasses, a quadrant, a spy glass, a small tin mug, and a wine glass. The deck lantern with a few spare candles in it, had been likewise thrown into the boat, and the cook having had the precaution to secure the tinder-box, and some matches that were kept in a blad- der, we were afterwards enabled to steer by night.
The wind was now blowing strong from the westward, with a heavy sea, and the day had just dawned. Estimating ourselves to be at the distance of 350 miles from St. John's, in New foundland, with a prospect of a continuance of westerly winds, it be- came at once necessary to use the strictest economy. I represented to my compan- ions, in distress, that our resolution, once made, ought on no account to be changed; and that we must begin by suffering priva- tions, which I foresaw would be greater than I ventured to explain. To each per- son, therefore, were served out half a bis- cuit, and a glass of wine, which was the only allowance for the ensuing 24 hours, all agreeing to leave the water untouched as long as possible. During the time we were employed in getting out the boats I had ordered the master to throw the main hatch tarpauling into the cutter; which being afterwards cut into lengths, enabled us to form a temporary bulwark against the waves. I had also reminded the carpenter to carry with him as many tools as he could; he had accordingly among other things, put a few nails in his pocket, and we repair- ed the gunwale of the cutter, which had been stove in hoisting her out. Soon af- ter day light we made sail, with the jolly boat, and stood close hauled to the north- ward, and westward, in hopes of reaching the coast of New foundland, or being picked up by some vessel. Passed two islands of ice nearly as large as the first. We now said prayers, and returned thanks to God for our deliverance. At noon, observed in lat. 46, 33, north, St. Johns, bearing about west S-2 north, distance three hun- dred and fifty miles.
Wednesday June 29. —This day was ushered in with light variable winds from the southward and eastward. We had passed a long and sleepless night, and I found myself at the dawn of day, with 28 persons looking up to me with anxiety for the direction of our course, as well as for the distribution of their scanty allowance. On examining our provisions, we found the bag of biscuit much damaged by salt water; it therefore became necessary to curtail the allowance, to which precaution all cheerfully agreed.
It was at this moment that I became more alive to all the horrors of our situa- tion. We all returned thanks for our past mercies, and offered up prayers for our safety.
A thick fog soon after came on; it con- tinued all day with heavy rain, which as we had no means of collecting, afforded us no relief. Our crowded and exposed situation was now rendered more distress- ing, from being thoroughly wet, no one having been permitted to take more than a great coat or a blanket, with the clothes on his back.
Kept the oars in both boats going con- stantly, and steering a W. N. W. course. All hands anxiously looking out for a strange sail. At noon served a quarter of a biscuit and a glass of rum to each person. St. John's bore W. by N. distant 310 miles. One of the ladies again read pray- ers to us, particularly those for delivery after a storm.
Thursday, June 30. —At day break we were all so benumbed with wet and extreme cold that half a glass of rum & a mouthful of biscuit was served out to each person: the ladies, who had hitherto refused to taste the spirits, were now prevailed upon to take the stated allowance, which afforded them immediate relief and enabled them the bet- ter to resist the severity of the weather.— The sea was mostly calm, with thick fog and sleet; the air raw and cold; we had kept at our oars all night, and we contin- ued to row during the whole of this day.
The jolly-boat having unfortunately put off from the ship with only three oars, and having but a small sail converted into a foresail from a top-gallant steering sail, without needles or twine, we were obliged to keep her continually in tow. The cut- ter also having lost two of her oars in hoist- ing out, were not enabled to profit much by the light winds.
Some one from the jolly-boat called out that there was part of a cold ham which had not been discovered before; a small bit about the size of a nutmeg, was immedi- ately served out to each person, and the remainder was thrown overboard, as I was fearful of its increasing our thirst, which we had not the means of assuaging.
At noon we judged ourselves to be o*

eastern edge of the Grand Bank, John's bearing W. by N. one-port distance 249 miles. No observations. Per-divine service.
Friday July 1. During the greater part of last 24 hours, it blew a hard gale of wind from the W. S. W. with a heavy cross sea from the same quarter; thick and sleet throughout; the weather extremely cold, for the spray of the sea as it flew over the boats, rendered our situation deplorable. It was at that time we all felt a most painful desolation of spirits! the want of nourishment, and the continued cold and wet weather had rendered us almost incapable of action. The very confined space in the boats would not allow of our stretching our limbs, and several of the men whose feet were considerably swelled, repeatedly called out for water. On my reminding them of the resolution we had made, and of the absolute necessity of our preserving it, they acknowledged the justice and propriety of my refusal to comply with their desire, and the water remained untouched.
At the commencement of the gale we were tossed to the northward and westward; but the cutter was so low in the water, and had so much sea, that we were obliged to cut off the jolly-boat's tow-rope, and very soon lost sight of her in the fog. An unlucky circumstance was productive of the utmost distress to us all. We had been roused to exertion from a double motive, and the uncertainty of ever meeting our companions in our misfortunes, reduced us in the most lively affliction. To add to the misery of our situation, we had with the boat not only a considerable quantity of our stores, but with them our quadrant and spy-glass. At about four A. M. the gale encreasing, with a prodigious heaving sea, we brought the cutter too, by easing the boat's sail loose over the bow, steering it out with a rope bent to each beam, which kept her head to the sea, and broke its force before it reached us.

The big Two Brothers, arrived at New York on Saturday in 24 days from St. Jago. Spoke on the 1st inst. the Supt. John Howard 35 days from London, for Charleston, who positively assured him that the KING OF ENGLAND WAS DEAD!
Extract of a letter from Commodore Preble to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Malta Harbour, Jan. 17th, 1804.
The coast of Tripoli is extremely dangerous at this season of the year, but I cannot avoid paying it a visit, and on the morning of the 23d ult. I captured a vessel of Tripoli which left that port in company bound to Bengaza. She was under Turkish colors and navigated by Turks and Greeks, but had on board two Tripolitan officers of distinction, a son of one of the officers, a number of Tripolitan soldiers, and two black men and women slaves belonging to the Bashaw and his subjects, with a small sum of about one thousand dollars in money, Tripoline property.
"My object in coming over here, was to attend to the translation of the papers, to look out for some good boats for light cruisers and to forward some necessary supplies to our unfortunate countrymen."
"If I find on the translation of the papers, that the vessel is Turkish property I shall release her together with all the people which the captain claims, viz. an officer of the Captain Pacha, three Turks and seven Greeks; the remainder amounting to about 60 Tripolines and slaves belonging to the Bashaw and his subjects, I shall keep as prisoners. I have written to the Bashaw proposing an exchange, and hope this capture will enable me to release some of our countrymen, or at any rate, it will afford us considerable advantage in any negotiation for a ransom or peace."
"I have this day had indirect proposals from the Bashaw for a peace. He is willing to restore the frigate Philadelphia for a schooner, and he will give up our officers and men for 500 dollars each. I believe that on these terms he would make peace, but he demands an annual stipend for keeping it, such as the Swedes or Danes pay him, amounting to 2000 dollars per annum, payable in This we ought never to accede to, as it would stimulate the avarice of the other Barbary powers, and probably induce them to declare war against us."
Extract of a letter from Commodore Preble to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Malta, Jan. 20, 1804.
"I have received further proposals (indirectly) from the Bashaw—he appears to be willing to give me as many of our officers and men as I have Tripolitans in exchange—for the remainder I suspect he is willing to take 400 dollars for each, and make peace without any consideration or annual tribute, and give us a frigate for a schooner. These terms perhaps may be thought favorable by the United States. I shall send a vessel to Col. Lear to consult him, and in the mean time take the necessary steps for lessening the Bashaw's expectations."
From Cadiz—Accounts from Cadiz dated Jan. 4th, say that the Aurora register ship arrived a few days ago from Lima; she has one million eight hundred thousand dollars on board for government, besides goods and specie for individuals to a great amount and is supposed to be worth considerably upwards of one million sterling; she was boarded by the English cruisers off the port who must have been very much mortified at seeing such a prize slip through their hands at this critical moment, when they daily expect to hear of a war.
France and Spain.—The friendly arrangements subsisting between France and Spain, occasion much murmuring on the part of the British; as will appear by the following article from Gibraltar, under date of Jan. 22.
Accounts have just been received that one of the convoy has been captured and taken into Tariffa by one of the numerous French privateers which constantly lurk under the island, and which sail out from there with Spanish colors flying, and board every vessel that passes without convoy.—The boat that brings the account says, that the instant the English vessel was brought in two Spanish lighters were sent along side of her and that they were then unloading her as fast as they could. On this intelligence being communicated to the navy, it was determined to resent so violent a breach of neutrality, and to bring out the prize from under the Spanish guns, let the consequence be what they may. The Diana, Maidstone, and Weazle brig, accordingly sailed for Tariffa, with three gun-boats armed for this purpose, and we anxiously wait the event. If the Spaniards afford them protection, immediate hostilities will ensue, as our tars will not be intimidated by the few paltry fortifications the Spaniards have to protect that place, and they will pay very little attention to that neutrality the Spaniards have on every occasion so shamefully violated.
At the present moment a French row galley commands more respect and submission in every Spanish and neutral port, than a British line of Battle ship. A captain of a French privateer has every thing granted he requires, in all the Spanish ports. He is allowed to equip, to man, to victual, and to bring in and unload his prizes without trial or condemnation, whilst the remonstrance of our Admirals and Ambassadors are treated with perfect contempt. Lord Nelson some time ago sent a man of war to one of the principal Spanish ports to obtain a supply of Bullocks for his squadron, when the English captain was informed in answer, that he could not
be allowed to have more than four bullocks lest it should give offence to the French government.
The attempt to cut out the vessel belonging to the convoy which was carried into Tariffa, failed owing to the current having carried the Diana and the gun-boats behind the rock, and before they could reach Tariffa, the second day afterwards the brig was completely unloaded and hauled on shore, so that any attempt to get her off would have been impracticable.
The Argo frigate from Portsmouth with Elpi Bey and his suit on board passed Gibraltar, January 26, for Egypt.
COMMERCIAL INFORMATION.
The Royal Junta of State, of the Provinces of Merida and Jucatan, allow the importation from the United States of Indian Corn and Peas, at the ports of Campeche and Sisal, in American and other bottoms, with absolute prohibition of any other sort of goods, wares and merchandise, and to load in return Logwood, and other valuable Woods.
Captain Berman of the sch'r Betsey on his passage from Charleston to Philadelphia, informs, that on the 28th ult. he was boarded by a French ship called the Africaine, captain Durberqueny, from Brest, who fired a couple of shot at him, and ordered him on board his vessel, when after some detention he was politely acquitted. Captain B. further informs that when the Africaine spoke him she was then bearing away for Charleston, having lost her main mast, and thrown her guns overboard, in a gale of wind. (Phil. pap.)
The Reverend Mr. Buckley, of Gloucester, in Connecticut, was famous in his days as a casuist and sage counsellor. A church in his neighborhood had fallen into unhappy divisions and contentions, which they were unable to adjust among themselves. They deputed one of their number to the venerable Buckley for his advice: with a request that he would send it to them in writing. The matter was taken into serious consideration, and the advice with much deliberation, committed to writing. It so happened, that Mr. Buckley had a farm in an extreme part of the town, upon which he entrusted a tenant, (for in those aristocratic days of our forefathers it was no sin for a clergyman to own lands and other property provided he came honestly by them) It was necessary for Mr. Buckley to give some directions to his tenant; in subscribing the two letters, the one for the church was directed to the tenant, and the one for the tenant to the church. The church was convened to hear the advice which was to settle all their disputes—the moderator read as follows:
"You will see to the repair of the fences, that they be built high and strong, and you will take special care of the old Black Bull."
The mystical advice puzzled the church at first; but an interpreter among the more discerning ones was soon found, who said; "Brethren, this is the very advice which we need. The direction to repair the fences is to admonish us to take good heed in the admission and government of our members. We must guard the church by our Master's laws, and keep out strange cattle from the fold. And we must in a very particular manner set a watchful guard over the Devil, the old Black Bull, who has done us so much hurt of late."
All perceived the wisdom and fitness of Mr. Buckley's advice, and resolved to be governed by it. The consequence was, all their animosities subsided, and peace and harmony were restored to the long afflicted church. What the subject of the letter sent to the tenant was, and what good effects it had upon him, the story does not tell us.

The general Lover.
I never yet could see that face Which had no charms for me, From fifteen years to fifty's pace, They all victorious be.
Colour or shape, good limbs or face, Goodness, or wit, in all I find, In motion or in speech, a grace, If all fail, yet 'tis woman kind.
If tall, the name of proper flays; If fair she's pleasant as the light, If low, her prettiness does please, If dark, what lover loves not night.
The fat, like plenty, fills my heart, The lean with love makes me so too; If straight, her body's Cupid's dart, To me, if crooked, 'tis his bow.
Thus, with unwearied wings, I flee Through all Love's garden and his fields; And, like the wife, industrious bee, No weed but honey to me yields.

This lottery has been authorized by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is desired that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December.

12000 Tickets at 3 Dollars, 36,000
IN offering the Scheme as above, it has been the object of the Managers to raise the sum allowed by law on the smallest capital possible, keeping in view the propriety of making the risk as little as the nature of the case would admit, being fully of opinion that its success must depend more on the aid which a liberal public, ever ready to extend to the promotion of an useful undertaking, than on any support to be derived from the adventurous speculator or needy gambler, were it on a plan more extensive, the prizes higher, and the risk greater. Here the adventurer will readily perceive, that while he is contributing only a small sum to be laid out in improving the roads, so that the produce of the country may be carried to market at any season, & at a moderate expence; his chance of gain is not unfavourable, there being less than 2 blanks to a prize and some of the Prizes not inconsiderable ones. This must be sufficient, when the object to be attained, as so extensively useful, and the cost so extremely small. The Commissioners flatter themselves that they will be aided by, at least all patriotic citizens, in accomplishing this useful object: and they confidently hope that the drawing may commenced at a period not very remote, of which however notice will be given in due time—The Prizes will be paid in Cash, subject to no discount, immediately after the completion of the drawing. Tickets may be had of the managers and from such other persons as they may hereafter authorize to dispose of them.
