CATO, No. IV.
Mr. SMITH,
Have the present administration preserved peace external and internal?
The conduct of a government, on this point, is well understood to be an unequivocal demonstration of its views. The assertion is scarcely too broad, that almost every invasion of right has been effected by military force. Every one acquainted with history will know that I do not include the encroachments of ecclesiastical power. If these be excepted, then it will appear, that if not all, by far the greater part of the infringements of liberty have been carried into effect by wars. Ambition so well understands its trade, that this has been the beaten track which it has constantly pursued. The reasons are plain and obvious. Governments, whether the offspring of agreement or of accident, are at first limited by positive stipulation or public opinion to particular objects, and are invested for their accomplishment with certain powers. The former are generally such as are intimately, perhaps necessarily connected with the general welfare; while the latter are usually circumscribed and limited, and but little susceptible of abuse. During a period of peace, the public attention, having no other great objects of regard beside the actions of rulers, is constantly fixed upon them, and the calmness of reflection is well calculated to appertain national esteem among those who are candidates for it. Every thing is discerned through a clear medium. The effects of particular measures are distinctly perceived, and felt. What is required by the existing circumstances of the country is extensively and generally understood, and is certainly acquiesced in; while that which is not required is inhibited or repelled. Taxation is repelled, and armies are either entirely rejected, or confined within narrow and rigid limits.
This temper of the public mind is the great shield of liberty formed by a beneficent providence. While it exists, the general welfare is guaranteed by its strongest protection. The ambition and venality of the profligate are held in subjection, and are harmless.
But human passions will unfold themselves; and the more they are checked, the more eager are they for enjoyment. Their objects are in rulers the acquisition of more power. This can only be got by more taxes and larger armies. These are in themselves obnoxious to every people under heaven; nor are they ever submitted to unless in cases of a desperate nature. War is one of these cases. Insurrections are therefore fomented; or insults or aggressions from foreign powers; popular passions are excited; national pride is roused; danger is exhibited in its most terrifying forms; and every man is called upon to fly to the standard of the government. The appeal too generally for the cause of humanity succeeds. The views of the government are considered by an unsusppecting people upright and patriotic, and the nation is hurried by a mad precipitation into all the horrors of war.
The dream of military enthusiasm soon vanishes, and leaves the nation to misery. New and dangerous powers are conferred, the tyrant's plea of necessity breaks down every barrier of law, oppressive taxes are laid, immense standing armies are formed. Notwithstanding these severe burthens, and notwithstanding every possible exertion, no substantial good is accomplished; for war universally, both to the victor and the vanquished, ends in defeat and loss. It is terminated, but not so with the tyranny it created. The new powers still remain, the new taxes and the army; while the energies of the nation, their only efficient checks, are gone; and liberty too is either gone, or is deprived of a great portion of its vigor.
Behold in these remarks, the picture of almost every government that has existed; behold in them the picture of the last administration. But scrutinize them with all human penetration, and say if they delineate the minutest feature of the measures of those now in power. With them no less than with their predecessors, the pretext for foreign war was not wanting; our flag has been, still is, and
will long continue to be insulted. War was within their reach. It is still within their reach. But they have disdained, by the vain glorious pursuit of a bauble, to enslave a free people. Pacific as well in practice as profession, they have exhibited the calm dignity of a sober judgment, the forbearance and consistency of philosophy, the mild radiance of philanthropy. They might have rushed into war, and been our tyrants; they have preserved peace, and have exercised none other than necessary and authorized powers.

Indultum for the Reduction of Holidays.
After a short preamble, this paper proceeds as follows:
Having maturely weighed and examined all these things, it appears that it would be advantageous to the good of religion and of the state to fix a certain number of Fêtes, as few as possible, to be observed throughout the whole territory of the republic, in such a manner, that all those who are governed by the same laws may be also everywhere subject to the same discipline; that the reduction of these days should come to the relief of a great number of persons in their occupations, and that the observance of the fètes retained may become easier.
In consequence, and at the same time to comply with the desire and demands of the first consul of the republic, in that respect his holiness has enjoined us in our quality of his Legate, a latere , to declare, in virtue of the plenitude of the apostolic power, that the number of the days of fètes, besides Sundays, shall be reduced to the days indicated in the table placed at the bottom of this indultum, in such a manner, that, in future, all the inhabitants of the same republic shall be considered as exempted, and shall really be entirely freed, not only from the obligations to hear mass, and to abstain from servile labour, but also from the obligation of fasting on the evenings preceding these days. He desires, however, that no innovation may be made in any church in the order and form of the service and ceremonies which they were accustomed to observe on the fètes now suppressed and on the evenings preceding them, but that every thing shall be done in the same manner as before, except on the fète of Twelfth Day, those of St. Peter and Paul, and those of the Saints Patrons of each diocese and each parish, which shall be celebrated on Sunday nearest to each fète.
In honour to the Holy Apostles and Holy Martyrs, his holiness ordains, that in the recitation, whether public or private, of the canonical mass, all those who are obliged to perform divine service shall be bound on the solemnity of the Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul, to make mention of the holy apostles; and on the fète of St. Stephen, the first martyr, to make mention of all the holy martyrs; the same mention shall be made also in all the masses celebrated on that day.
His Holiness orders also, that the anniversary of the dedication of all churches erected within the territory of the Republic, shall be celebrated in all the churches of France on the Sunday immediately following the octave of all saints.
Though it might be proper to leave existing the obligation of hearing mass on the festivals which are suppressed his holiness, in order that he may give new testimonies of his condescension towards the French nation, is contented with exhorting those chiefly who are not obliged to live by the labor of their hands, not to neglect to assist on these days at the holy sacrifice of the mass.
In the last place his holiness expects from the religion and piety of the French, that the more the number of the fètes
and fast days are diminished, the more they will observe, with care, zeal and fervour, the small number of those which remain, continually calling to remembrance that he is unworthy of the name of christian who does not keep as he ought the commandments of Jesus Christ and his church; for as we are taught by the apostle, St. John, "Whoever says he knows God, and does not observe his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
The fètes which shall be celebrated in France, besides Sundays, are:—
The nativity of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Ascension Day.
The assumption of the most blessed Virgin.
The fète of all saints.
Given at Paris, in the house of our residence, this day, April 9th, 1802.

PARIS, August 28.
The stoppage of the circulation of the English papers occasioned at first much conversation in the coffee and reading-rooms; those which ought to have arrived by the post on the 17th, were not suffered to reach Paris. However this subject, like most others, has had here but an ephemeral existence. The English papers are not yet allowed to come into circulation.
All the protestant ministers, and indeed all the protestants are extremely discontented with the minister Portalis; and since the First Consul has given several proofs of esteem for them, it may turn out a circumstance of greater importance than Portalis imagines, and very probably a source of considerable uneasiness to him. Maron the protestant clergyman, who officiates in St. Thomas of the Louvre, had written no less than twenty six memorials of Portalis, soliciting that the government would in its wisdom arrange the stipends to be allowed to the ministers of his persuasion; he received no answer, nor were any of his memorials presented to the Consul. Tired at last with such continued petitioning, he acquainted the leading members of the protestant party. Boilly d'Anglas, Rabaut, and some other senators, presented themselves in their official dresses at the door of Portalis, by etiquette and the privilege of their habits, they could not be refused an audience; they reproached him with great firmness for his partiality, and endeavoured to impress him with a sense of the danger to which he exposed the Republic itself, that if religious dissensions once took place, there was not a doubt of the Republican party, who detested the re-establishment of the Catholic religion and its priests, decidedly attaching itself to the Protestants. They argued with the ministers the more openly, as they had had the address previously to obtain the consent of the council to the step they had undertaken. Portalis was beyond measure disconcerted and promised to report their demands to the Consul; the next day he made his report, but in such a jesuitical and ambiguous manner, that the council of state could not form any determination upon it, and ordered it to be done more explicitly and more conformable to justice. This is subject matter for observation.
When the protestant clergy paid their respects to Bonaparte upon his election for life, he received them with very particular distinction, and detained them near him for an hour and a half. He asked M. Marron how he had escaped the storms of the revolution? "That is very simple, (replied Marron,) our religion teaches us to obey the authority which governs—we faithfully obey all those which so rapidly succeed each other, and we were never molested." "These (said the Consul) are the sentiments of a truly peaceable religion—you may leave me—I hope every year you may have to solicit more churches from me, and you may be persuaded they shall be granted to you."
The First Consul has made a present to the bishops of Amiens, Autun, Avig-

Arras, Cambrai, Arras, Ghent, Amiens, Metz, Mans, Namur, Nancy, Orleans, Soissons, Saint Quentin, Troyes, Versailles, and Vannes, of an episcopal ring, as a testimony of his satisfaction, on account of the re-establishment of good harmony between the priests of their dioceses and the destruction of all seeds of schism.— Moniteur.
FRANKFORT, Aug. 27.
We learn from Darmstadt, that Baron Barkhausen the first minister of the Landgrave has set out for Ratisbon, to obtain from the two guaranteeing powers, France and Russia, the authorisation of receiving the indemnities allotted to this prince. Baron of Edelheim, first minister of the margrave of Baden went to Ratisbon for the same purpose. Deputies from Bamberg, Wurtzburg, from the House of Nassau, &c. have arrived there, intrusted with full powers from their constituents, to watch over their respective concerns with the Diet.
MANHEIM, Aug. 27.
There have arrived here two couriers with very important dispatches. The first is the bearer of an order to all Bavarian troops, now in the Palatinate, to cause all those that are absent on forlough, to join their corps again in 24 hours, and be ready to march. By the second, these troops have received the summons of setting off without any delay for Wurtzburg. They are commanded by the Prince of Yzenburg. The garrison of Heidelberg are to set off to day, and that of Mannheim the day after tomorrow.
The whole of the elector's troops has begun to march in several directions. General Gaz will head the body of the army charged with occupying the imperial towns and ecclesiastical countries of Suabia, to supply the place of General Dixon who has taken the command of general Bartels.
MUNICH, Aug. 23.
It is asserted, that the court of Vienna has applied to the French government and to the court of Berlin and Petersburg, to obtain for the grand duke of Tuscany greater indemnities than those granted him by the convention of Paris. The declaration has been made to all the states of Germany that form a part of the deputation of the empire.
PROCLAMATION.
The Captain General of Guadalupe and its dependencies, to the army of Guadalupe and to the inhabitants of the colony.
Death has just snatched from us general Richepanfe, he who had preserved the colony of Guadalupe from the rebels, and added new laurels to those which he had gathered on the field of Hohenlinden: the brave men whom he had commanded, and whom he had uniformly led to victory, regret in him a friend, who had ever given them an example of every military virtue, while the inhabitants of this colony, who have so long suffered under the system of usurpation will weep for him, who would have restored them to happiness and prosperity.
Recalled by the First Consul to the duties of captain general of Guadalupe, I was more than satisfied with the reparation made to the legitimate authority, and I was about resigning my authority into the hands of general Richepanfe, when death deprived us of him.
In this painful situation, and consulting only my duties, I have determined to retain the authority confided to me by the First Consul. With the aid of the army I feel certain of fulfilling all his intentions, and of preserving the peace of the colony, which is no longer in a state of siege.
Citizen Lescallier will perform all the duties of Colonial Prefect, conformably to the decree of 26 Germinal, year 9, and will maintain order in all parts of the administration. Thus, let all the citizens rest assured, that the value of the army will secure to them repose and tranquillity. A wise organization will repair the ravages of that war to which our success has put an end; for myself, I shall be satisfied, if I can unite all minds and all hearts, in cherishing the principles of the government delegated to me.
LA CROSSE.
Discourse pronounced by General La Crosse, at the tomb of the general in chief Richepanfe, translated from the official papers of Guadalupe.
Generals, Commanders, Officers and soldiers,
This day is to all of us a day of sorrow. He who had constantly conducted you to victory, general Richepanfe, is no more! but his actions, his courage, and his zeal for the glory of the Republic, will make him live eternally in the heart of every Frenchman.
You, who have followed him to the field of honour, who have partaken his dangers, you have seen him at Hohenlinden pierce the enemies' battalions, uniting the coolness of reflection with the impetuosity of courage, and by the boldest manoeuvres gain and partake with you one of the most brilliant portions of the glory of that memorable day.
Even with deeds like these he was not satisfied, but came with you to conquer the colony of Guadalupe, to restore it to the dominion of France, and to avenge on the audacious rebels the levying of authority they had despised. It is by his talents and your bravery that he has tranquillized Guadalupe, and restored to the wretched inhabitants the hope of regaining their ancient prosperity.
Honored with the confidence of the First Consul, I shall find in fulfilling my duties as captain general, the double satisfaction of rendering justice to your military virtues, your love of discipline, and at the same time of making you witnesses of my zeal for the public good.
LA CROSSE.
The following toasts were drank at Bourdeaux on the celebration of the 4th of July, by the Americans.

4th. Our country!—May it long present to the world the imposing phenomenon of a great and free people governing themselves.
5th. The Constitution of the United States!—The last hope of the friends of the rights of man.
6. Federalism in the government of the United States!—Unity and indivisibility among her citizens.
7. The President of the United States!—Exhibiting to the world the rare phenomenon of the first magistrate of a great nation recommending the abridgement of his own power.
8. The memory of Washington, immortal in the hearts of his countrymen.
9. The memory of him who disarmed the heavens of their lightning, and tyrants of their sceptres.
10. The French Republic!—May she be as just in peace as she has been victorious in war.
11. The heroes of all nations who have perished in the cause of liberty.
12. Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures!—Left to the care of their true protectors, those who are engaged in them.
13. Arts and Sciences—May they continue to dispel the clouds of ignorance and superstition, till they have taught the whole human species their rights as men.
14. The militia of the United States—The only safe bulwark of a free republic.

The Merchants of Petersburg, Virginia, to the number of 55, have presented the following Address to Dr. Shore lately appointed Collector of that port.
Petersburg, 16th October, 1802. DOCTOR JOHN SHORE.
SIR, We, your fellow-citizens, merchants and owners of vessels, in the town of Petersburg, from a firm conviction, that our government consults the true interests of the people, and takes for its guide their will, are induced to afford it every support which an expression of our sentiments can convey. Actuated by this motive, we deem it a duty to remove the erroneous impressions, which an address from some respectable merchants to the late collector, and his answer, are calculated to produce. We declare our highest confidence in the conduct of the executive, and our approbation of the appointment of yourself to the office of collector for this port. When we were told that colonel Page was to be the successor of colonel Heth, we were pleased with a character so exalted by public and private virtues, and regretted his non-acceptance; this regret, however, was removed by the subsequent appointment of yourself. We therefore cordially congratulate you on your acceptance of the office; and from a knowledge of your deportment in society, we anticipate with pleasure, that, whilst every official act will be marked with ability and accuracy, proper respect will be paid to the principles of decorum and civility.
With these you health and happiness, we are respectfully, your sincere friends.
Petersburg, October 16th, 1802. GENTLEMEN, The sentiments which you have been pleased to express, in approbation of my appointment to the office of collector for this port, as contained in your friendly communication of this day, have impressed me with great sensibility.
The declaration of your high confidence in the conduct of the executive, under a firm conviction, that, in the administration of our government the title interests and will of the people are alone consulted, is a full exposition of the honorable motives, by which you are actuated. A support, derived from such conviction, cannot fail to produce the happiest effect.
In the execution of the important trust confided to me, it shall be my care, by every disposition to accommodate, and by a diligent attention to the duties of my office, to obviate any interruption to the public business.
Your kind wish, I beg leave to reciprocate, and render you the high respect and regard, with which I am,
Gentlemen, Your friend and fellow citizen, JOHN SHORE.

WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, October 27, 1802.
DIED—on the 24th inst. in this city, aged 67 years, Captain GERDAS HALL, formerly a clerk in the department of the Treasury of the United States, in which, from the commencement of the present government, to within twenty months of his death, he acquitted himself, in his station, with assiduity and talents. The last weeks of his confinement having been marked by no specific disorder, his death was the effect of a gentle decay of nature, for he died without a struggle. As a facetious companion, and one possessed of genuine wit and humour, he will be long remembered by a numerous and respectable acquaintance.
In our relation of the late news from Guadaloupe we have been drawn into a mistake, when we stated that persons of colour were permitted to return. The fact is they are prohibited from returning to that Colony, and Mr. Pichon, in consequence of directions received from Guadaloupe, has instructed the Commissioners of France in the United States not to give passports to any person of colour for Guadaloupe.
Information received from Algiers, as late as the 16th of August, states, that on the 5th of that month two French 74's, a corvette, and brig of war, under the command of a rear-admiral, arrived at Algiers, having on board General Hullen, a French agent. On the next day the agent demanded a renunciation of all pecuniary claims on the French, an admission of the Italian Republic to a free navigation, the severe punishment of two Algerine captains who had ill-treated two French captains, by throwing overboard national dispatches, and flogging a French captain at Tunis.
He further demanded the restoration of three Neapolitan vessels, with their cargoes and crews, captured by Algerine corsairs on the coast of France;—and declared that France would not give a Mediterranean passport to any national vessel whatever.
In all these demands the Dey reluctantly acquiesced. Eight corsairs were under weigh when the French hove in sight, but immediately thereafter returned, and did not sail until the 14th of August.
On the 11th of August a French vessel of war arrived from Paris, after a passage of 12 days, bringing an aid-du-camp of Bonaparte, with letters to the Dey, informing him that he would double his vengeance on the regency in case of any further irritation, and would erase Algiers from the list of piratical nations.
The two Algerine captains have been put in prison and have been severely punished; and it is said, that they would have lost their heads but for the interposition of the French Agent.
The French are to have Lecalle, which they mean to fortify, and are to enjoy the commercial privileges specified in the treaty made in December last, it is further stated that they demand a fortified factory at Bona.
On the 15th of August, the French agent sailed, in an armed brig, for Mar-seilles. The next day was fixed for the departure of the admiral and his fleet, for Tunis.
No English agent or naval force had appeared at Algiers—Spain had acquiesced in her previous arrangements.
It was apprehended at Algiers that the Dey, in order to recover his popularity, which had been much shaken by his submission to the French, would seek a rupture with either the Danes, Swedes, Dutch or Americans.
A letter from Malaga, dated August 10, states commodore Morris, with the frigate Adams, and the Schooner Enterprise, to be at Gibraltar waiting the issue of Mr. Simpson's negotiation at Tituan. Admiral De Winter, with three sail of the line, and some small vessels, proceeded from Malaga on the 9th August for Algiers, to accommodate the differences between the Batavia Government and the Regencies of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. The Swedish frigates still continued to grant convoy to the Americans.
NEW JERSEY.—Cape May County has returned a federal councillor and assemblyman. From the best statement we possess, it appears that the assembly will be equally divided, and that in the council there will be a republican majority.
PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
Northumberland County. For Mr. M'Kean 2,746

VERMONT. RUTLAND, Oct. 4, 1802. A political view of the General Assembly of this State for 1802, from the best information we can obtain: viz.
Table with 3 columns: Counties, Republican, Federal. Rows include Bennington (11, 3), Rutland (18, 6), Addison (13, 5), Chittenden (9, 12), Franklin (8, 11), Windham (5, 14), Windior (15, 6), Orange (9, 7), Caledonia (3, 5), Orleans (1, 8), Essex (4, 4), Totals (96, 81).
The whole number here collected is 13 short of what are expected. The republican majority, here stated, is 15.
The Baltimore American states the following to be the result of the Maryland Election for state representatives.
Table with 2 columns: Republican, Anti-Republican. Rows include Washington (Frederick, Prince Georges, Anne Arundle, Baltimore county, Harford, Cecil, Queen Ann's, and Talbot, all republicans, 36), Kent 3, Caroline 3, and Somerset 2, Baltimore city 2, and Annapolis 1, Totals (36, 8).
Table with 2 columns: Republican, Anti-Republican. Rows include Allegany, Charles, Montgomery, St. Mary's, Calvert, Worcester, and Dorchester, all anti-republicans, 28), Somerset 2, Kent 1, Caroline 1, and Annapolis 1, Totals (5, 33).
Republican majority, The American adds,
And, if any ground has been lost by the republicans, it can fairly be attributed to that apathy which pervaded them in the late electioneering campaign. In proof of this, it is deemed sufficient to cite Calvert, where the republican strength is so great, that it was not even calculated, that toryism would have had the audacity to raise her drooping and detested head. This impression induced the republicans to conceive it was unnecessary to turn out, and by this means, the opposition, by stratagem, obtained the victory.
[We notice the following publication, taken from a Federal print, merely to show the steady disposition of a certain description of men, to miscontrue whatever lies within their reach, perverting the purest sentiments to the unworthy purposes of party malevolence.]
The letter of General Washington, in answer to Mr. Addison, is an evidence of his prudence, and is not susceptible, without gross distortion, of any such inference as is attempted to be drawn from it.]
The following copy of a letter from General Washington to Alexander Addison, Esq. of Pennsylvania, President of the Court of Common Pleas for the fifth circuit of that State, so unequivocally conveys the opinion of the first man America ever produced, respecting the party now in power, that it merits universal attention and remembrance.
Mount Vernon, March 4, 1799. Sir, Your favor of the 31st January, enclosing your Charge to the Grand Jury of the County Court of the Fifth Circuit of the State of Pennsylvania, at the last December Sessions, has been duly received, and for the enclosure I thank you. I wish, sincerely, that your good example in endeavouring to bring the people of these United States more acquainted with the laws and principles of their government, was followed. They only require a proper understanding of these to judge rightly on all great national questions—but unfortunately infinite more pains is taken to blind them by one description of men, than there is to open
their eyes by the other, which, in my opinion, is the source of most of the evils we labour under. With very great esteem I am, Sir, Your most obedient servant, GEORGE WASHINGTON. Alexander Addison Esq.
The following are the particulars of the mode of proceeding against the English Journals. At ten in the morning all the officers of the Police spread themselves through the coffee houses, and the reading rooms of the Palais royal; they instantly, and without shewing any order, seized and carried off all the daily, weekly and monthly publications they could find, and took them to the foot of the great staircase of the Tribunate, where they were burned in the midst of a circle formed by the invalids, of whom the guard of that body is composed. The following morning the same execution was renewed.
Mr. NECKER has published a new work; it is called Last Views upon Politics and France, offered to the French Nation.—“Yes, (says the author) they are the last; they are the last Views I offer to the French Nation—the last; that word suits my age and my health, which becomes weaker. I have shewn the political inconvenience of those timid combinations, which, borrowing some traits from Monarchy and some from Republicanism, have neither the majestic unity of the one, nor the animated movement of the other. I have traced two plans of Government, one, under the name of hereditary and tempered Monarchy, the other under a Republic one and indivisible, and submitting, as much as possible, in reason, to the laws of the church. I have terminated the work by reflections upon finance, and I have destined them both for the present time and for futurity.”
From the Richmond Examiner. TO J. T. CALLENDER. In the American Revolutionary War, I fought for my Country—I had her approbation; I was honored with her confidence in the public Councils.
The wheel of Fortune became adverse and my decrepitude from the palsy constrained me to ask for a subsistence. The Cincinnati, among whom were Generals Marshall and Wood, Col's Carrington, Heath and Bently, respectable characters, readily contributed to, and have given me a subsistence for life—Several of the gentlemen differ from me in politics; but does that authorize me to abuse them? Does that circumstance lessen their talents or their virtues? No—Early last year, I informed Mr. Thomas Jefferson, that I was in want; he immediately requested Mr. George Jefferson of this city to pay me fifty dollars, which was done.—
I wrote to Mr. Jefferson the President, that I wished to return, last spring, to Kentucky, and requested some little aid to support me on my journey; he generously sent me thirty dollars more. I have heard that you, like myself, are poor; that you have children in Philadelphia that were in want, that in your distress, having mentioned your sufferings in the cause of liberty, that good man, the President, whom I have known for thirty years, whose character as a man of benevolence, talents and virtue dignify the human heart, sent you, at different times to the amount of one hundred dollars: For his charity, you have repaid him with the vilest abuse.—
Such base ingratitude, must on serious reflection, sling your conscience to the quick—You boast that your writings turned Mr. Adams out of office and placed Mr. Jefferson in the Presidential chair—Matchless vanity!
No, Mr. Callender you are much mistaken; the sedition law, and the improper and rigorous conduct of Judge Chase, did more injury to the Federalists, than the writings of a thousand Callenders—You, Mr. Callender, have no more weight with the independent Republicans, than the fly on the wheel of a coach contributes to its motion.—
You have made a wrong estimate of your talents, and your consequence; you are of importance to neither party, Republican or Federal. The Republicans supported you, because they thought you the victim of persecution, and the martyr of liberty. By your base abandonment of principle, you have drawn on yourself eternal infamy and disgrace, and this without securing the confidence or esteem of the Federalists.—
They consider you as a second Judas, you have sold your principles for gold, and while they applaud the treason they must abhor the traitor.
Know also Sir, that there are very many gentlemen who resided in this city as well as many others who dwell at
distance from it, who have been as benevolent to me, and shall have my grateful and respectful thanks during my exile.
ROBERT LAWSON. Richmond, Oct. 16, 1802.

IT being believed that considerable portions of lands in the back counties of the states of Virginia, on which the Direct Tax of the United States remains unpaid, are owned by persons residing out of the state; and the same having been advertised, in pursuance of the act of Congress of the 16th of March last, (mandatory of the act entitled "An act to lay and collect a Direct Tax within the United States," as may be seen by the notification of the Supervisor of the 2d of June inf.) and running in the Examiner of Richmond, that being the paper in which the laws of the state are printed, to be sold for the tax and costs, in all cases where the same shall not be paid within six months from the date of the notification agreeably to the 2d section of the said amendatory act; it is recommended to all who own lands in the said state, whereon they do not know the tax to have been paid, to take measures for having the transcripts which have been lodged at the Supervisor's Office at Richmond, as directed by the said last-mentioned act, examined, in order to the ascertaining & paying such tax where due. And as, in some instances, lands have been assessed in the names of persons heretofore owning, but who have alienated them, it is further recommended that, upon sending to examine the transcripts, all names known to have been at any time connected as owner or owners with any tract or tracts in question, be sent forward, the better to guide the examination. The sales will take place generally in the month of December next, on dates which may be seen in the notification referred to above. This short sketch of the business is published in some of the papers of other states as a means of more certainly calling the attention of persons concerned, to the subject.
