II. And be it enacted, That in any suit or action at law hereafter to be commenced or
instituted in any county court of this state, the judges thereof, upon large ion in writing by either of the parties thereto, supported by affidavit or other proper evidence, that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had in the county court of the county where such suit or action is depending, shall and may order and direct the record of their proceedings in such suit or action to be transmitted to the judges of any county court within the district for trial, and the judges of such county court, to whom the said record shall be transmitted, shall hear and determine the same in like manner as if such suit or action had been originally instituted therein; provided, nevertheless that such suggestion shall be made as aforesaid before or during the term in which the issue or issues may be joined in the said suit or action; and provided also, that such further remedy may be provided by law, in the premises, as the legislature shall from time to time direct and enact.
III. And be it enacted, That if any party presented or indicted in any of the county courts of this state, shall suggest in writing to the court in which such prosecution is depending, that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had in such court, it shall and may be lawful for the said court to order and direct the record of their proceedings in the said prosecution to be transmitted to the judges of any adjoining county court for trial, and the judges of such adjoining county court shall hear and determine the same in the same manner as if such prosecution had been originally instituted therein; provided that such further and other remedy may be provided by law in the premises as the legislature may direct and enact.
IV. And be it enacted, That if the attorney general, or the prosecutor for the state, shall suggest in writing to any county court, before whom an indictment is or may be depending, that the said court cannot have a fair and impartial trial in such court, it shall and may be lawful for the said court, in their discretion, to order and direct the record of their proceedings in the said prosecution to be transmitted to the judges of any adjoining county court for trial, and the judges of such county court shall hear and determine the same as if such prosecution had been originally instituted therein.

SPEECH Of Governor Sturgis to the Legislature of Massachusetts, delivered June 7.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
I embrace with pleasure the opportunity of congratulating you on the return of the anniversary established by our constitution, and the proof which your fellow citizens have given you of their confidence. Accept the assurances of my regard with sentiments correspondent to those by which they are dictated.
Our obligations to the public are expressed in the acts we have taken to support the constitution of the United States, and to defend this commonwealth, and faithfully and impartially to perform the duties of our respective offices. It is incumbent on us, therefore, on all occasions, to support the constitutional measures of the general government; in this our interest and duty coincide; for if that government is not well established; if it has not energy sufficient to suppress insurrections at home, and resist invasion from abroad, our security will be lost in perpetual revolutions, and we shall be at the mercy of every lawless invader.
But as the national constitution defines and guarantees the rights, as well of the states as of the citizens, it is the duty of the state governments to watch over those rights, and if they should be infringed, to make such representations as would tend to procure redress; thus it is probable a remedy may be obtained for any evils of this kind to which a state or part of its citizens may be exposed, in a manner perfectly consistent with public order and tranquility. A disposition to censure and examine the measures of government is extremely prejudicial; if they are good in themselves, we ought not to ascribe them to improper motives; and if doubtful candor should incline us to view them in the most favorable light. But it was not the design of the constitution that the legislatures of the several states should become blindly subservient to the will of the general government; this would be to lose the whole benefit of the federative principle, and would subject us to all the mischiefs of a complete consolidation of the states; Indeed such a construction might soon destroy the most essential articles of the constitution; for if an aspiring man should gain a controlling influence in the national legislature, and would find that some parts of that instrument would be altered to suit his views, he would propose and be in a condition to effect such alterations as he should term necessary.
The system of national government appears to be well calculated to preserve itself and perpetuate the rights of the people. The arrangement and independence of the legislative, judicial and executive powers form the best security that could be devised against the encroachments of either; and as long as the constitution is unimpaired, and the legislative body is animated by a spirit of integrity and moderation; as long as it shall leave to the executive and judicial departments the authority vested in them respectively by the constitution, and shall patiently acquiesce in the exercise of that authority; so long we may hope that the national government and the rights of the citizens will be preserved.
But the experience of other nations will convince us, that whenever the legislature assumes to itself the other powers of government, liberty is invaded. This assumption can be more easily effected by that body, it unresisted by principle, than by either of the other branches. The legislative is the supreme power; the members are from every part of the territory, their number and influence will enable them, on frequent occasions, to excite popular envy and resentment against the executive and judicial powers; almost every man from a connection with some member of the legislature, has a peculiar interest in that branch of government, and a strong prejudice in its favor. But instead of being influenced by such prejudices, we ought to reflect, that in free states a change in the frame of government is attended with hazard, and that our only safety consists in a firm and steadfast adherence to the principles of the constitution.
The declaration of rights in this state prohibits an interference of the several departments; it provides that neither of them shall ever exercise the powers of
the other. And here too an efficient authority is requisite for the protection and safety of the people; for if the state government has not strength enough to restrain injustice and violence, or to punish offenders, our liberty will degenerate into licentiousness, and we shall fall into a state of anarchy not less disastrous than a fettered and absolute despotism.
In civil causes, the sheriff or constable is supposed to be authorized by us as of attachment or execution, to take the goods of the debtor without any exaction. The humanity of creditors has, for the most part, prevented an undue use of this authority, in collecting their demands from their indigent debtors; but I am informed by a number of respectable persons that instances have frequently occurred, in which officers, with unfeeling severity, have taken the most distressing articles of apparel and furniture, and exposed the debtor and his family to immediate suffering. If such cases have happened without your knowledge, you will probably think it reasonable to exempt from seizure certain articles which are necessary for upholding life.
Commissioners have, on several occasions been appointed, at the request of the legislature, and with the consent of the parties interested, for the purpose of quieting settlers on lands in the eastern parts of the state; in most of the cases to which their commissions referred, they have been able to effect an amicable agreement; but divers disputes of this kind still remain undecided. The tranquility of that part of the commonwealth, and the happiness of many individuals would be greatly promoted by a speedy accommodation of those disputes; and I shall be happy to concur with you, gentlemen, in any measures, consistent with the rights of the parties, which shall be calculated to effect this desirable object.
The operations of banking, while under suitable restraint, may undoubted be useful to the state, by rendering its capital more active than it would be otherwise. Petitions, have for several years been presented, at almost every session of the legislature, for the incorporation of banks. If such applications are repeated, it will be a question of importance, whether an addition to the present number would be a public benefit. Many of the bills of other state banks, with whose circumstances and management we are wholly unacquainted, circulate here; and the capital stock of the branch bank is seven hundred thousand dollars. We have besides in this state, twenty one banks, which are allowed by law to issue thirty millions of dollars; by their last returns it appears, that the whole of the debts due to them did not amount to eight millions. If the existing banks are authorized to loan a greater sum than the circulation can employ, the aggregate profits of banking would not be increased, nor would any additional assistance be given to trade should a number of other banks be instituted; they might indeed emit an additional quantity of paper; but the surplus would soon be returned to the several banks, and exchanged for gold and silver to be exported. New banks would not increase the quantity of specie, they would only cause a subdivision of it; and if they should be introduced, from the desire of gain, or a disposition to afford extraordinary accommodations, to different too liberally, the banks themselves would be endangered, and the directors might be compelled to diminish their discounts so as to occasion very serious and extensive commercial embarrassments.
It has been said, heretofore, that the bank dividends were higher than the legal rate of interest, and, therefore, unless petitioners were indulged with new incorporations, the law which forbids usury should be repealed. A measure of this kind might be more injurious than any proposed addition to the number of banks. If money was borrowed only on a calculation of profit from commercial enterprises, the borrower might be safely trusted to make his bargain with the lender; but a great part of the loans in the country are to persons embarrassed from misfortune or indirection; by a repeal of the law against usury they would be left to the mercy of their creditors, and usury would prey without control upon ignorance and distress.
I have received a letter from the governor of Pennsylvania, including a copy of a resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives of that commonwealth, approving an amendment to the

constitution, which was recommended by the state of Kentucky, and by which it is proposed to exclude from the judicial power of the United States, controversies between citizens of different states—between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants from different states—and between citizens of a state and citizens or subjects of a foreign state.
Together with those papers, the Secretary will deliver to you a letter from the major general of the third division, requesting that he might be discharged from his office in the militia—His request has been granted.
In the present state of political disagreement, you can hardly expect, by the most upright and impartial discharge of your duty, to escape censure. But whatever reflections may be circulated upon the measures of government, or the conduct of its members, I hope and trust, they will have no effect to weaken your attachment to the public good, or to abate your zeal to promote the public interest. In many cases, you may be compelled from a sense of duty to disapprove the wishes of your friends, and in some, perhaps, to expose yourselves to the temporary displeasure of a respectable part of the community. But if the measures you adopt, are just and useful, they will at length appear to be so; and you will then receive the best compensation for public service, the testimony of your fellow citizens to your merit and virtue.
CALEB STRONG.
June 7, 1805.
SPEECH
Of Governor LANGDON to the Legislature of New-Hampshire, delivered on the 6th inst.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
In obedience to the call of my fellow citizens, who have thought proper by their free suffrages to choose me their chief executive magistrate for the present year, I have found it incumbent on me to accept the important trust, and shall attend to the duties of the office, with all that fidelity which its great responsibility demands.
I regret that my talents are not more equal to the station, but such as I have, shall be most faithfully employed in co-operating with you to protect and secure the freedom, independence and happiness of the people.
It is greatly to be lamented that for some years past our citizens have been so much divided in their political sentiments. This makes it in some measure necessary for me to declare mine.
I consider myself a republican, and have uniformly (as far as I have been able) from the year 1775 to this day, supported the principles of a free elective government of the people, from whom all our power and authority originate, being fully convinced that a republican government faithfully administered, is the strongest, the freest and the best that has ever yet been experienced.
The constitution of the United States guarantees to each state a republican form of government; and here permit me to congratulate you and the rest of my fellow citizens, that the general affairs of the union are at present conducted by a wise, virtuous and magnanimous administration, in which I do not hesitate to say, the people may place their utmost confidence.
When we look around and view the unparalleled happiness of our country; the civil and religious liberty we enjoy; agriculture, commerce and manufactures flourishing; the general tranquility that prevails; the immense acquisition of territory by the cession of Louisiana, and the complete arrangement of the finances of the United States; in short, prosperity appearing in every direction;—surely we have the greatest reason for thankfulness and gratitude to the Supreme disposer of all events, for so many inestimable blessings.
It would be unnecessary for me to take up your time in saying any thing of foreign affairs, as those relations are confined to our general government. Coming as you do, gentlemen from all parts of the state, you must of course be much better acquainted with the wants and wishes of our constituents, than I am able to point out. Should it be your determination to hold another session of the Legislature this year, the present of course would be of short duration, as little else than the immediate local prudential matters of the state, with the unfinished business of the last session, would claim your attention at this time.
I shall only mention that the state of the treasury will be laid before you, your wisdom will determine whether any and what sum of money it will be necessary to raise the current year. In public as in private concerns, economy is very desirable, but at the same time such sum
of money should be raised, as will sufficiently answer the exigencies of the state.
Could I think the present session would continue long enough, I should urge the necessity of making some further arrangement for establishing our militia upon a more respectable footing, as I consider it of the highest importance; but whether this business can be taken up, with propriety, this session, is for your determination.
I shall with pleasure concur with you in all such acts and resolves as you may think proper to pass, which shall appear for the safety and advantage of the citizens, and unite with you in the best endeavors to harmonize the public mind, by making every exertion to promote the tranquility and happiness of our country."
JOHN LANGDON.
State of New Hampshire, } Concord, Jan. 6, 1805. }
Jamaica Legislature.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, April 20.
Engrossed Memorial and Representation to his Honor the Lieutenant Governor, on the subject of the American intercourse, was read and passed, as follows:—
The humble Memorial and Representation of the Assembly.
" SHEWETH,
" That on acknowledging the independence of the United States of North America, his majesty's then ministers thought it would be proper to deprive them of the benefits they had derived from their intercourse with the West Indian islands whilst they composed a part of the British dominions.
" That the inhabitants of Jamaica have ever been anxious to promote the commercial prosperity and augment the naval strength of the empire; but, on this occasion, they represented that Nature had denied to this island the means of subsisting its population whilst their industry was directed to the cultivation of those staples which alone rendered it a valuable appendage to the mother country, and that it was destitute of many articles of the first necessity, in preparing our produce for exportation. They submitted that Great Britain, with all her remaining dependencies in North America, could not supply the lumber required for buildings and packages in the towns and on the plantations, or the provisions absolutely necessary, for the existence of the inhabitants, and that they could not be procured from the United States in sufficient abundance, unless the importation should be permitted in their own vessels.
" The clearest facts, the most obvious consequences were disregarded, chiefly through delusive misrepresentations from the remaining British colonies in North America, who flattered themselves with acquiring immense wealth by a monopoly of an extensive market which they knew must be scantily supplied. After some intermediate relaxation, the intercourse was at length confined to British vessels, navigated according to law. Putting the loss and destruction of property out of question, the consequences to this country was terrible.
" It is briefly stated in a report of a committee of this house on the subject of the slave trade, which never has been and never can be controverted.
" We decline, say the committee, "to enlarge on the consequences which followed, lest we may appear to exaggerate; but having endeavored to compute with as much accuracy as the subject will admit, the number of our slaves whose destruction may be fairly attributed to the unfortunate measure of interdicting foreign supplies, whilst the country was suffering under internal calamities, we hesitate not, after every allowance for adventitious causes, to fix the whole loss of lives at fifteen thousand. This number we firmly believe to have perished of famine, or of diseases contracted by scanty and unwholesome diet, between the latter end of 1780 and the beginning of 1787."
" Such was the waste of life at which the first experiment was made for securing to Great Britain the carrying trade between Jamaica and the United States of North America! With the charity of Christians, and loyalty which oppression could not alienate, the Assembly were willing to suppose that the consequences of the measures adopted were not intended or foreseen, and they are brought forward as a defence against new calumnies, and not as a subject of recrimination, for the destruction of their property.
" It is to be recollected that this trial was made not only in the time of profound peace, but commenced at the termination of the American war, when a redundancy of shipping, seamen, and capital, in the mother country, were ready for any new or advantageous com-
merce: when a great addition of active and enterprising adventurers were poured into the remaining British colonies of North America, solicitous to profit of a speculation which their misrepresentations had contributed to set on foot.
" Finally, however, it was admitted to be vain to contend against the decrees of Providence, which had condemned New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to perpetual sterility, and shut up all intercourse with Canada for more than half the year. When these provinces applied to the Legislature of the Mother country for, and were allowed, liberty to import lumber and provisions from the United States, it was thought impossible that statesmen could listen to an application for rendering the supply of half a million of British subjects subservient to their blind and indecent avarice.
" Although the expectations of the inhabitants of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada, were completely defeated, it must be acknowledged that the profit of the carrying trade between the United States of North America and the British West India Colonies, was for a time secured to the British ship owners. They were computed to get about 245,000 sterling annually; and, perhaps, the inhabitants of this country only paid about double the freight which the articles would have cost if imported in American vessels. This, however, was during the peace.
" When the late war with France commenced, notwithstanding the immense superiority of Great Britain by sea, and the advantages of an established and regular intercourse, the national shipping gradually disappeared. The increasing exigencies and diminished supplies induced the Right Hon. the Earl of Barras to assume the responsibility of providing for the wants of the country confined to his care, by opening the ports of this island to American shipping.
" By this wise and necessary measure, a second famine was averted; and during a period of great difficulty, the agricultural capital of the country has been preserved, and the planters looked forward to better times to disencumber themselves from the debts affecting it.
" It is our painful duty to represent that, by recurring to the system of retribution, formerly tried, the same consequences must follow with inevitable certainty. The capital and labor employed in raising staples for exportation, so important to the commerce and navigation of the Mother Country, must be applied to raise food for our subsistence, and, in certain situations, to procure substitutes for lumber.
" Every one conversant with the state of the island must admit that obtaining them is not practicable in the best cultivated districts; but were it otherwise, the shipping of the empire would be materially diminished by attempting to engross the carrying trade between the island and America.
" This intercourse is in its nature unchangeable.
" On the part of the North American States our staples might be dispensed with, because they are luxuries, and can also be supplied from other parts of the world; but our demands from them are for necessaries the most essential, and only became greater in proportion to our industry and the increase of our cultivation. We shall take two periods, very distant from each other, to show their nature and extent.
" The schedule No. 1, contains an account of the imports from North America into the British West Indian islands in 1771, 1772, and 1773. It is on the authority of Mr. Stanley, secretary to the commissioners of the customs, and discriminates what was supplied by the territories now forming the United States from what was furnished by the British provinces. The articles composed 1200 cargoes annually, and were estimated to be of the value of 720,000 sterling, or 1,008,000 Jamaica currency; but as many of the vessels made two and sometimes three voyages within the year, the lumber did not exceed 533, and the seamen employed were about 3399.
" The schedule No. 2, exhibits a similar account for the years 1802, 1803 and 1804, from the returns of the naval office, made to the house of assembly, of the importations of the United States and the British dominions in North America, and distinguishes the proportions imported in American and British bottoms. A valuation is added on the authority of the members of this house, of great commercial experience and respectability: It will be found 1,249,073l. currency.
" The schedule No. 3, contains an account of our exportation to North America, from the same authorities.
" As might be expected, it will be found, from these authentic documents, that the increased cultivation of Jamaica, calls for a supply of greater value than was required by all the British Islands in the first period; and that, of this supply, less than one twelfth part
comes from his majesty's colonies in N. America; and that six seventh parts of what we procure from the United States, is imported in their own shipping. We shall admit, however, that the vessels mentioned by Mr. Stanley, now carries the increased supply, and it will be found that 456 additional British vessels navigated by 2862 seamen, must enter immediately into the American trade, to prevent the absolute ruin of this country.
" No person in the least acquainted with commerce but must admit that twice that number will be requisite if our wants are intended to be answered by means of ships making a circuitous voyage once a year from Great Britain.
" Situated as the mother country is at present, we do not hesitate to affirm that neither shipping nor seamen can be spared for carrying on and protecting this commerce until the return of peace.
" We have hitherto regarded matters in the most favorable view, as if we possessed the quantity of provisions usual at this season of the year, and without a prospect of interruption to the intercourse; the facts, however, are extremely different.
" From a scanty harvest in America, and a great demand from Spain, the importations have been less than common, whilst the expenditure has been augmented by drawing the militia from their homes, and collecting pioneers and working parties during the present militia law.
" From the best information collected by inquiries under authority, on the proclamation of martial law it is ascertained that there was then not flour to feed that portion of the inhabitants who depend on it for subsistence for two weeks, and we have no reason to believe that the stock is now greater. In about thirty days the expectations of all additional supply must be given up. When the imperious cravings of absolute famine may arrest attention it will be too late to administer relief. In the hurricane months few American vessels adventure in these latitudes, and the winter frosts lock up many ports of the United States from which we are supplied.
" We trust that we have been fortunate enough to impress your honor with a true sense of the situation of this country, for if ever there was a case calling for the sound exercise of that discretion with which his most gracious majesty has entrusted you, we humbly submit the case now exists here.
" No means can be pointed out for carrying on an intercourse admitted to be indispensable at all times; proved to be now peculiarly so from causes which his majesty's ministers could not foresee, but which are fully disclosed to your honor.
" No benefit can accrue to Great Britain, or to the empire at large, from the calamities which will be brought upon this country.
" We admit the responsibility which your honor must assume in exercising the high prerogative which our most benevolent sovereign has delegated to you, for the purpose of protecting his faithful people from partial evils, arising out of well intended general regulations, but we humbly call your honor's attention to the highest responsibility which will attach on declining to dispense the blessings which his majesty meant to be communicated to his loyal subjects here.
" From these considerations we rely that your honor will, without delay, give directions for continuing the most important intercourse, on its present footing for six months after the time limited by the present order of the privy council, or until his majesty's pleasure shall be known."
Message to his honor, desiring to know when he would be attended with the above memorial of representation, in answer to which he was pleased to say "at 4 o'clock."
House adjourned for a quarter of an hour; and being met, Mr. Speaker and the whole House went up to present their memorial and representation to his honor, when he was pleased to return the following answer:
" Mr. Speaker, and gentlemen of the Assembly,
" Having received no instructions from his majesty's secretary of state, authorizing me to give directions for continuing the intercourse between Jamaica and the United States of America, after the 21st of May next, I consider myself absolutely precluded from paying that attention to your representation, which, under other circumstances, I should sincerely wish to do upon all occasions."

WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19,
The citizens of Washington, disposed to participate in Celebrating the FOURTH of JULY, are requested to meet at Stelle's Hotel this afternoon at 6 o'clock.
At a Meeting of the Stockholders of the Washington Theatre, convened at Rhodes's City Tavern on Friday the 14th June, 1805, agreeably to public notice.
ROBERT BRENT was called to the chair—THOMAS HENRY, Sec.
The meeting proceeded to the choice of Five Directors for the ensuing year, and on counting the ballots, the following persons were found duly elected.
ROBERT BRENT, WILLIAM BRENT, THOMAS LAW, S. H. SMITH, JOHN P. VAN NESS.
On motion, the following resolution was submitted and passed.
Resolved, That the Directors be authorized to use their best exertions to save the interior of the Theatre completed, and that they communicate with, and engage a company of Comedians, as soon as may be, on the best terms in their power.
We have recently published a short view of the French finances; by which it appears that the whole annual expenditures amount to 684,000,000 francs, or about 137 millions of dollars. We are naturally led to compare this amount of expenditure with that of Britain; as these two powers are at present engaged in an arduous contest, the issue of which must depend, in a great measure, upon their respective resources.
The annual expenditures of Great Britain and Ireland amount to about dolls. 310,000,000 Those of France to 137,000,000
Difference against G. B. 173,000,000
Although the population of the latter is double that of the former. Whence is it that this great difference arises? The government of France is supported with superior splendor to that of England; and the objects effected by the former are more numerous; a large portion of the resources of France being devoted to internal improvements, to public instruction, and to the advancement of the arts and sciences. France also supports an army of 500,000 effective soldiers, while the force of England does not amount to one third of that number. We can only satisfactorily account for the enormous expenditures of Britain by a tending to three circumstances. 1st. Her vast national debt. 2d. Her gigantic navy; and 3d. Her extensive colonies. These are the ceaseless channels through which her wealth flows; and they are drains which threaten to endure for ages unless they shall be dried up by some extraordinary convolution. It is because France is free from these perpetually increasing sources of expenditure that she is able to keep her disbursements within such narrow limits.
In these respects the example of England should be perpetually present to the view of our countrymen. Whenever their disposition to retard the present rapid extinguishment of the national debt relaxes from a wish to answer some temporary purpose, let them reflect on the rapidity with which the British debt has progressed to its present enormous and alarming magnitude. Whenever our ambitious views lead us to indulge ideas of conquest, let us remember that these carry in their train, a vast naval establishment; and whenever our pride suggests the policy of a great naval armament, let us previously decide one problem, viz. whether we can limit its ultimate extent within narrower bounds than the great maritime powers of Europe.
One other impressive view. The expenditures of Great Britain impose an annual burthen of twenty-six dollars upon each individual; those of France five dollars; and those of the United States two dollars.
Petitions presented to the legislature of Connecticut for a new bank have been rejected.
The grand jury for the city of New York have returned an ignoramus to the bill against Mr. Cheatham, Editor of the Citizen, laid before them by the Attorney General, at the direction of the legislature of New York, for an alleged libel charging them with bribery and corruption in the case of the Merchants Bank.

In the sentiments of governor Langdon, in his address to the New Hampshire legislature, we have the frank and firm avowal of the creed of a true republican. Without reserve or qualification he declares a free elective government of the people the strongest, the freest, the best that has ever yet been experienced; and he declares the administration of the general government worthy of the utmost confidence of the people. In this tribute there is no policy or servility; those who know Mr. Langdon, know what he speaks comes from the heart.
The late elections have insured a full triumph to republican principles in New Hampshire. The government has completely changed hands. A letter from Concord, extracted from the New Hampshire Gazette, delineates the following glowing picture.
"The hon. JOHN LANGDON is elected governor by a majority of 8810 votes."
"CLEMENT STORR is President of the Senate."
"SAMUEL BELL is Speaker of the House of Representatives."
"NATHANIEL GILMAN is Treasurer."
"PHILIP CARRIGAN, JUN. is Secretary of the State."
"There are four Republicans and one Federalist in the council."
"A Republican majority of more than fifty gives the House of Representatives."
"In the Senate there are eight Republicans to four Federalists."
"The defeat of this monster is complete—it is fallen never, never, never to rise again; and it is now that we may anticipate with confidence, the rapid dispersion of those clouds, which have too long obscured the understanding and misled the judgment of a number of the citizens of this state, it is now that we look forward to the complete and undisputed triumph of those principles of genuine Republicanism, which alone can secure the rights and privileges, and promote the peace and happiness of the people."
"We congratulate the citizens of this state and the union on this happy, thrice happy change."
The American Citizen states the following, as the result of the late elections in New York.
The ensuing assembly consists of eighty-eight republican and twelve federal members. Last year it was composed of eighty-seven republican and thirteen federal members. Of the republicans, forty voted for incorporating the merchants bank, of whom only nine have been re-elected.
The following is said to be the extent of the French and Spanish fleet. 12 French of the line, and 8 frigates; 6 Spanish of the line, and 1 frigate; Under the command of admirals Villeneuve in the Bucentaure of 90 guns, and Gravina in the Argonaut of 120—they had 10,000 troops on board, under gen. Lauriston; the destination was not known, but the officers stated that they expected further reinforcements.
It now appears, that if all the returns of votes for governor had been constitutionally made, Mr. Strong would have a majority of six hundred only; and Gen. HEATH, the Republican candidate for lieut. governor, would have been elected, by a majority of fifty or sixty over all the other candidates. Chron.
Population of Russia. According to the Parish Registers of the Russian empire for the year 1803, the number of Marriages was 300,470, births 1,270,341, deaths 791,973; hence it appears that the number of births exceeded that of deaths 473,368; the population therefore increasing in one year nearly half a million.
New York, June 14. Paris papers to the 24th of April, are received by the brig Pallas, captain Noyes from Bordeaux. But as all the French papers are shackled by order of the Entente, nothing new can be expected from them.
Verbal accounts by this vessel, however, mentioned, that it was known at Paris that the Toulon fleet had got out of port, and that they had in safety passed the Gut of Gibraltar, having on board 12,000 troops. It was confidently said that they were bound to Jamaica. Indeed they did not scruple to say in Paris, that Jamaica must fall.
Mr. Monroe was still at Madrid. Extract of a letter by the sloop Dove, from a merchant at St. Bartholomews, dated 28th May. "Guadaloupe has been embargoed
these ten days, owing to the arrival of another strong French squadron with a strong armed force; and as they have only just commenced active operations, which by a vessel arrived here yesterday, from St. Lucie appears first to be directed against that island—and there being at present no English force in the country sufficient to cope with them, nor any likelihood of one shortly arriving; it is generally believed, that they will attempt the whole English colonies.—The embargo at present is general in all the islands, and under the circumstances mentioned above, it may be considered to remain for some time."
The following, for which we are indebted to a commercial friend, is the latest from Cadiz and is very satisfactory as to the probable force which has lately made its appearance in the West Indies:
CADIZ, APRIL 12. "I take up my pen to inform you of the blockade of this port being raised on the 10th. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon appeared off this port, the French fleet from Toulon, consisting of eleven sail of the line, six frigates, and two brigs; and being joined by one French man of war, one corvette, and a brig, and six Spanish men of war and one frigate from this port, they proceeded on, it is supposed, for Ferrol. The English fleet under Sir J. Ode, of six sail of the line, and two frigates, kept in light all the time, and the next day followed the combined fleets. The blockade, therefore, is completely raised; and as the Spanish fleet has failed, there is no probability of our being again blocked, perhaps at the war."
Baltimore, June 17. Capt. Bunbury, of the ship Mary, came up last evening from Annapolis has favored us with the following intelligence:
June 13th, spoke the Schooner Eliza Ann, capt. Richard James, out for East River, from Martinique, out 18 days, informed us the French fleet had arrived at Martinique and were bound to Lee Ward. I immediately tacked to the northward and went, on board the Schooner in my boat for further information. Extracted from the log book of the Schooner Eliza Ann.
May 14th, capt. on shore clearing out, at 3 p. m. a large fleet came in sight—orders were immediately given for no vessel to fail; the fleet came in which consisted of 18 sail of the line, (French and Spanish) 10 frigates and 2 brigs of 22 guns each, and a number of prizes, amongst which was the British sloop of war Lion.
An embargo was immediately laid on and continued till the 26th. In the mean time, all the sick were landed from the fleet.
They had likewise taken possession of Diamond Rock. The fleet was to sail the 28th, and by report of some of the officers, who dined in company with Mr. Jervis, they were bound to Lee Ward, having on board 8,000 troops, and a quantity of heavy artillery. They likewise informed the captain and Mr. Jervis, that they intended to treat any Americans, trading to the island of St. Domingo, very severely—but how far that treatment would extend, was yet undetermined, as some were for hanging and some for other punishment—some punishment was certain.

IRON WORKS FOR SALE. IN Wythe county State of Virginia, on Cripple Creek about 15 miles from the Great Kanawha and 40 miles from the north fork of Holston which affords a tolerable safe navigation to a prodigious scope of the western country, where perhaps iron is in greater demand than any other quarter of the United States.
Cripple Creek affords a sufficiency of water for both forge and turnace, being fed by bold never failing springs. The furnace and all the buildings have been commenced within 4 or 5 years—they consist of dwelling houses, kitchens, and a store house; also, a large and convenient stable—the forge has not long been completed. It is supposed to be the best built forge in Virginia, being out of choice timber felled at proper seasons and executed by a first rate forge carpenter from Pennsylvania. It works three fires and two hammers, is sixty feet long and thirty wide, well covered with joint shingles. There are between 7 and 800 acres of land attached to these works, some of it of excellent soil, and any quantity may be procured within 6 or 8 miles for from 1 to 8 dollars per acre.—The ore banks appear to be inexhaustible, lying within one mile to the furnace and good roads. From one of the banks the ore may be conveyed by water within 10 steps of the furnace, with the incon siderable expense of 40 or 50 dollars.
The quality of the iron is acknowledged by those who have used it to be equal to any. It is particularly sought for by lock makers, saddle tree pliers, cutlers, &c.
The demand for iron in that country is far beyond what is made, and is selling from 40 to 50. per ton. I have no hesitation to say, contracts on not a very long credit can be had for almost any quantity yearly, as from that quarter a considerable portion of the western country is supplied.
As it is supposed a purchase of this magnitude would not be made, without a view of the property by those inclined to purchase, it is deemed unnecessary to give a further description. Letters addressed to me at Abington, Virginia, will be duly attended to. I will also sell my
SALT WORKS On Holston in Washington county Virginia, which is now rented at 10,000 Dolls. a year. I have adjoining to it between 5 and 6000 acres of land well covered with timber, a considerable proportion of which in point of fertility is equal to any land whatever, and will afford 3 or 400 acres of meadow, nearly 100 being now in good timothy. The buildings which are extensive are in a good state of preservation. FRANCIS PRESTON. May 1—ep

Also one other tract near the last containing about 200 acres, both the last mentioned tracts are likewise rented to tenants at will, they produce good corn, wheat and other small grain, and there is on each of them a considerable quantity of excellent timothy meadow in good order from which the tenants sell a great deal of hay.
