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- scended, 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. ROBERT B. JAMESSON. Nov. 15.

Documents
Accompanying the Report of the Committee appointed to enquire into the official conduct of SAMUEL CHASE and RICHARD PETERS.
(Continued.)
The additional deposition of Philip Norborne Nicholas taken before George Wythe and Joseph Scott, Esquires, under authority of the House of Representatives of the U. States.
The said Nicholas being asked by the said commissioners what was the general deportment and manner of Judge Chase during the trial of James Thompson Callender, answers—
That the general deportment and manner of Mr. Chase during the said trial, appeared to the said Nicholas to be marked with great violence and precipitation; and that Judge Chase manifested a solicitude for the conviction of the prisoner, which, in the estimation of said Nicholas, was improper in a judge sitting in a criminal prosecution. The said Nicholas further states, that the deportment of judge Chase to the counsel, who appeared for Callender, was rude and overbearing, and calculated to prevent that full and free defence, without which it was impossible for them to do justice to their client.
PHILIP NORBORNE NICHOLAS. Richmond, February 7th, 1804.
The additional deposition of George Hay, who being asked, what were the manners and deportment of Samuel Chase, during the trial of James Thompson Callender, deposeth and saith,
That it appeared to him at the time of the trial, and he yet believes that the manners of Mr. Chase were intentionally rude and insolent. The deponent thought and still thinks, that Mr. Chase was determined that Callender should, if possible, be convicted, and that to accomplish this purpose he endeavored to intimate, to depress, and to silence his counsel. He interrupted them frequently, with wanton rudeness.—He ordered one, if not more of them to set down. He charged them with advancing doctrines which they knew to be illegal, and which they advanced, he said, only to deceive and mislead the populace. The patience of the deponent was at length exhausted, and he quitted the court and the cause, under a belief that farther exertions in the defence, would only tend to cover himself with still greater shame, and to subject them to still greater humiliation.
The deponent believes that there did not escape from him during the trial, a word or gesture, that could have given offence to the judge. The conduct of his associates was, he believes, equally guarded: he does not therefore ascribe the insolence of Mr. Chase to irritation, occasioned by the conduct of the bar.
The deponent is under no apprehension that his judgment has been much misled, by the circumstances attending his own situation. He knows, and can now name men, whose politics then differed from his own, who expressed their abhorrence of Mr. Chase's conduct in terms as strong as language affords. In fact the public mind was very much excited, and apprehensions were entertained by many, that some serious disturbance might take place. Mr. Munroe, then governor of Virginia, was so completely convinced of the danger, that he not only earnestly recommended moderation and forbearance to those who were daily crowding about him, but kept his eye constantly on the capitol, that he might be ready to command the peace, at the first appearance of commotion. To him Mr. Chase is probably indebted for the safety of his person during his residence in Richmond.
The solicitude of Mr. Munroe to preserve order, arose from causes totally unconnected with Mr. Chase. The character of the state he observed, had never been tarnished by any opposition to the laws, or any outrage on persons clothed with its authority. The preservation of this character at that period (May, 1800) was in his estimation a matter of infinite importance. He therefore urged and intreated those, who, he supposed, might come into collision with the judge, to be patient, under every outrage.
GEORGE HAY. Richmond, Feb. 7, 1804.
Interrogatories exhibited on the behalf of the House of Representatives of the U. States, to William S. Biddle, touching the official conduct of Samuel Chase and
Richard Peters, Esquires, on each of them.
1. Were you present at the second trial of John Fries for treason before the circuit court of Pennsylvania, at the spring term of the year 1800?
2. Have you a correct copy of the opinion of the court delivered in writing to the counsel for the prisoner at that trial?
3. How came it in your possession?
4. Are you confident that the copy, which you now produce, is exactly correspondent with the original?
JOHN RANDOLPH.
THOMAS LEIPER, MAHLON DICKERSON.
The answers of William S. Biddle to the annexed interrogatories, in the case of Samuel Chase and Richard Peters Esquires.
1. In answer to the first interrogatory this deponent says that he was present at the second trial of John Fries for treason before the circuit court of the U. States for the district of Pennsylvania, in the spring term of the year 1800.
2. In answer to the second interrogatory he says that he has not a correct copy of the whole opinion delivered by the court in writing to the counsel for the prisoner at that trial. That the paper now produced to the commissioners and hereunto annexed, was written by this deponent during the trial aforesaid, and was preserved by him, among other papers, containing important law opinions and cases. That the following extract from said paper, is to the best of this deponent's knowledge and belief, a correct copy of so much of the opinion expressed by the court before the trial of Fries and delivered in writing, as he understood, to the counsel for the prisoner, viz. "It is the opinion of the court that any insurrection or rising of any body of people within the United States, to attain or effect, by force or violence, any object of a great public nature, or of public and general or national concern, is a levying of war against the United States. On this general position the court was of opinion that any insurrection or rising to resist, or to prevent, by force or violence, the execution of any statute of the United States, for levying or collecting taxes, duties, imposts or excises, or for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, or for any other purpose (under any pretence, whether as that the statute was unequal, burthensome, oppressive or unconstitutional) is a levying of war against the United States within the constitution." That the remainder of that page of the annexed paper, and the following page to the words "constitute the crime of levying war," contain the substance of the principal points of law stated by the court on that occasion, and that the residue of the contents of said paper annexed, are no part of the opinion of the court, but are authorities and cases added by this deponent for his own use and information.
3. In answer to the third interrogatory he says, that he was at the time of said trial studying law with Wm. Rawle, Esq. then attorney of the United States for the district of Pennsylvania. That he attended the circuit court during almost all the trials for treason in that court, in the year 1799 and 1800, and occasionally assisted Mr. Rawle in writing down the testimony delivered on those trials. That the annexed paper (except as to the latter part of it just mentioned) was according to the best of this deponent's recollection and belief, copied by him in court before the commencement of said trial, from a paper which was then circulating around the bar, as the opinion in writing delivered by the court; and immediately after the same was delivered by the court.
4. To the 4th interrogatory he answers, that he cannot at this time recollect with certainty, whether the annexed paper was or was not copied from the original signed by the court, or delivered by them to the counsel, nor can he be positive that he saw the said original paper; but at the time he supposed the paper from which he took said copy was the original opinion delivered by the court, and he still believes it was.
W. S. BIDDLE.
Circuit Court of the United States April 1800
CHASE AND PETERS.
It is the opinion of the court that any insurrection or rising of any body of people within the United States to attain or effect by force or violence any object of a great public nature or of public and general or national concern is levying war against the the United States, within the contemplation and construction of the constitution of the United States. On this general position the court are of opinion that any such insurrection,
or rising to resist or to prevent the execution of any statute of the United States for levying or collecting imposts or excises, or for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the United States for any other purpose (under any pretence whether as that the statute was unequal, burthensome, oppressive, or unconstitutional) is against the United States, within the contemplation and construction of the constitution.
Military array or weapons in themselves constitute levying war.—Foster 210. The true criterion is Quo animo did assemble. When the intention to effect some object of a general nature will be treated as Foster 210, 211.
To conspire and meditate an insurrection or rising to resist or oppose the execution of a law of the United States by force, is a misdemeanor, but to proceed to execution into execution by force, is war, and the quantum of force whether by 100 or 1000. Sufficient must be used in pursuance of the levy war, but 'tis immaterial if the force used is sufficient to effectuate the intent connected with the intention to execute the crime of levying war.
4 Bl. Com. 41—Levying war by taking arms under pretence to resist or remove (public) gravity, or pretended—See 5 B. 2. 1. 210.
5. B. A. 121 Salk. 635—5. Assembling armed with a treasonable intent to commit an overt act in every case of levying war nothing further be done.
Insurrection to raise the price of corn or to break all prisons and let all the prisoners at liberty. 4 Inst. 10—Kel. 75 251.
2 Dall. 346. U. S. v. Vigol. 16. v. Mitchell. Defts convicted of an attempt to prevent the execution of a law.
Dougl. 570. Raising a body of men with an intent to resist or violate the law, is an overt act of levying war.
Foster 215.—Damaree & Purchase had an intent to demolish all meeting houses and to be considered as a the rabble against the toleration act attempt to render it ineffectual by open force.

NEW-YORK, March 13.
By the ship New-York Packet, capt. Webb from Bristol, we have received London papers to the 14th February, being the same dates of those received, by the ship Packet. These Papers state—
That a war with England and Spain, it was expected, would soon take place. Spain having nearly completed the refitting of her ships of war, and manning them, was ready to co-operate with France in the invasion of England.
Germany, Russia, and the northern powers, look with a jealous eye upon the French depots, are burnishing up their arms, their troops are in motion, and are only waiting for a favorable opportunity to pounce upon the tyrant of the world.
During Bonaparte's residence at Boulogne, he superintended an embarkation, as an day and an exercise of his troops. He rode on a spirited charger, which he spurred along the beach, and was at times up to the girth in the water. In the course of the battle and confusion of this scene, his horse got entangled by the cable of one of the gun boats, and threw the Chief Consul into the sea, from which he was dragged by his attendants.
A Paris paper of the 10th January, says, "One of our first painters employed upon a picture representing the First Consul, during the siege of St. Jean d'Acre, receiving in his arms a soldier attacked by the plague and assisting in carrying him to the hospital. His anecdote makes here a great impression. (B. The presentation of the poisonous cup, at the order for murdering disarmed prisoners at Jaffa, no French painter has yet chosen for a subject."
(Lond. Pap.) The Queen of Prussia sent a present to Madame Bonaparte of various articles of dress to the value of about 60,000 lvs.
General Myers is appointed commander in chief of the British forces in the West Indies.
The deaths at Malaga have abated. On the 16th December the number was only 30: and hopes are entertained that it will soon cease. The fever was said to have been brought by a French ship from St. Domingo; it has carried off 7,000 persons, and caused 9,000 to emigrate.
The weather on the of England is stated to have been very tempestuous. Five sail of ships laden with coal, were sunk close to Scarborough; and great number of dead bodies were daily thrown on shore by the waves along the whole coast. An Englishman of war was lost near Scotland.
Vessels from New York, Philadelphia, and Alexandria, sailing after 1st December last, were no longer subject quarantine in Great Britain.
Cash given for clean linen and cotton rags.

Tripoli November 1, 1803.
fortune necessitates me to make a ation the most distressing of my it is with the deepest regret that you of the loss of the United gate Philadelphia, under my com- being wrecked on rocks between five miles to the eastward of the Tripoli. The circumstances re- this unfortunate event are; at 9 ing about five leagues to the east- Tripoli, saw a ship in shore of us ding before the wind to the westward; immediately gave chase. She hoisted politan colours, and continued her se very near the shore; about eleven ock had approached the shore to seven oms water; commenced firing at her, ch, we continued by running before the nd until half past eleven; being then in en fathoms water, and finding our fire effectual to prevent her getting into Tri- poli, gave up the pursuit, and was bearing when we ran on the rocks in 32 feet water forward, and 17 feet abaft; immedi- ately lowered down a boat from the stern, anded and found the greatest depth of ter astern, laid all sails aback, loosed gallant sails, and set a heavy press of canvass on the ship, blowing fresh, to her off, cast three anchors away from bows, started the water in the hold, e overboard the guns, except some a- to defend the ship against the gun boats which were then firing on us; found all ineffectual, then made the last resort ghtening her forward by cutting away fore-mast, which carried the main top lant mast with it; but labor and enter- se were in vain! for our fate was dire- ly fixed. I am fully sensible of the loss that has occurred to our country, and the difficulty which it may further involve her with this Regency; and feel beyond de- cription for the brave unfortunate officers and men under my command, who have one every thing in their power worthy of character and stations they filled; and trust on investigation of my own conduct it will appear to my government and ntry consistent with the station in which had the honor of being placed.
Striking on the rocks was an accident not pos- sible for me to guard against by any intimation as no such signals were laid down in a- board, and every careful precaution by e leads kept heaving, was made use of inap- aching the shore to effect the capture of a Tri- politan cruiser; and after the ship struck the cks, all possible measures were taken to get her the firm determination made not to give her as long as possible hope remained, although oyed by gun-boats, who took their position uch a manner that we could not bring our ons to bear on them, not even after cutting away the stern to effect it. When my officers and I had not a hope left it being possible to get her off the rocks, and
having withstood the fire of the gun boats for 4 hours, and a reinforcement coming out from Tri- poli without the least chance of injuring them in resistance, to save the lives of brave men, left no alternative, but the distressing one of hauling our colours down, & submitting to the enemy whom chance had befriended. In such a dilemma the flag of the United States was struck. However painful it will be to our fellow citizens to hear the news, they may be assured that we feel in a national loss equally with them. Zeal of serving our country in doing our duty has placed us in this situation which can be better conceived than described, and from which we rely on our country extricating us.
The gun boats in attacking fired principally at our masts. Had they directed their shot at the hull no doubt but they would have killed many.
The ship was taken possession of a little after sun set, and in the course of the evening myself and all officers with part of the crew, were brought on shore, carried before the Bashaw who asked several questions. From his palace the of- ficers were conducted to the house which Mr. Cathcart lived in, where we lodged last night, and this day the Minister has become the guaran- tee to the Bashaw, for us officers, and we have given him our parole of honor.
Enclosed you will receive a list of the officers and a few of the people to attend them, who are quartered in the American Consular house, & are to be provided for by such ways and means as I can best adopt, which will be on as economical a plan as possible. The remainder of the crew will be supported by the Regency.
We have all lost every thing but what was on our backs, even part of that was taken off; the loss of the officers is considerable, as they were well provided in every necessary for a long station.
M. Niffon the Danish Consul, has been ex- tremely attentive, and kindly offers every service of assistance.
I trust, sir, you will readily conceive the anx- iety of mind I must suffer. After the perusal of the enclosed certificates from the officers on my conduct, should you be pleased to express the opinion of government, you will much oblige me.
I have the honor to be, Sir, With the greatest respect, Your most obedt servt, W. BAINBRIDGE.
P. S. Notwithstanding our parole we are not permitted to leave the House or go on the top of it, and they have closed our view of the sea.
The above letter was accompanied by a certifi- cate of the officers of the Philadelphia, bearing testimony to the good conduct of capt. Bainbridge and a list of 43 officers and 264 men in captivity.
On Motion of Mr. Nicholson the message was immediately referred to the committee of Ways and Means.
Extracts of a letter from the Purser of the Ar- gus, dated Cadiz Bay, Jan. 22.
The loss of the Philadelphia is a severe blow to our little squadron. The Commodore has sent home dispatches from which you will learn the particulars. The officers are in the Ameri- can Consular house, and are said to be generously treated, which, I suspect, is not altogether the case with the crew. In consequence of this dis- astrous event, we are at a loss to judge what poli- cy will be pursued by the United States. I hope however to see a sufficient addition to the present squadron in the spring to convince the powers of Barbary, that we are not disheartened by the loss of one frigate. Every thing rests quiet with Morocco. The spirited conduct of commodore Preble has had a very happy effect. Toulon and Genoa still remain blockaded by Lord Nelson's squadron. The fever is said to have entirely sub- sided at Malaga. There is a report, that 140 of the crew of the Philadelphia have claimed pro- tection of Lord Nelson, as being British sub- jects, but that he refuses to interfere in the business.
A London paper of the 24th December says, Mr. Livingston, the gentleman who arrived here a few days ago from Paris, is Lieutenant Colo- nel in the service of the United States, and son in law to Mr. Livingston the American Envoy at Paris.
We have no grounds to suppose that the Co- lonel is charged with any propositions for an ac- commodation between France and this coun- try.
Congress of the United States
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY March 16.
An engrossed bill supplementary to the act incorporating the Bank of the United States—authorising a branch at New-Or- leans, was read the third time.

The question being taken, it passed— Ayes 59.
An engrossed bill concerning the public buildings in the City of Washington was read the third time and passed—Ayes 60.
An engrossed bill in addition to the na- turalization law, was read the third time, and on the question whether the same shall pass; it was supported by Messrs. Leib,
S. L. Mitchell, J. Clay, Smilie and Find- ley; and opposed by Messrs. R. Griswold, Dana and Alston.
The question was then taken by Yeas and Nays, and the bill passed; Yeas 65— Nays 38.
The bill exonerates aliens, entering the United States between the years 1798 and 1802, from complying with the first provi- sion of the act of 1798, requiring a declara- tion made in a court of the intentions of the alien to become a citizen, five years previ- ous to his admission to citizenship.
The House resumed the consideration of the unfinished business of yesterday, viz. the report of the committee of the whole on the bill providing for the govern- ment of Louisiana.
The new section, offered by Mr. Rhea, declaring all grants of lands in Louisiana made since the treaty of St. Ildefonso void, was again taken into consideration.
A debate of considerable length ensued, in which Messrs. Nicholson, J. Clay, Rhea, (of Ten.) Gregg, Holland, Smilie, and Alston sup- ported; and Messrs. Lyon, Dana, Elliot, Early and G. W. Campbell opposed it.
The question was taken by Yeas and Nays on Mr. Rhea's amendment, and carried in the affirmative; Yeas 60, Nays 42.
Various other amendments where agreed to, which shall be hereafter particularly stated, when the bill was ordered to a third reading to mor- row.
A message was received from the Senate com- municating a bill supplementary to an act re- fecting the election of a President and Vice Pre- which was referred to a committee of the whole.
The bill provides for the mode in which infor- mation shall be communicated to the several states of the adoption of the proposed amendment to the constitution, in case it shall be ratified by a constitutional number of states, and directs the electors, in case such information shall be received, to vote in two different ways, the one of which shall not be in conformity to the origi- nal article of the constitution, and the other in conformity to the proposed amendment.
Saturday, March 17.
The bill erecting Louisiana into two ter- ritories, and providing for the temporary go- vernment thereof, was read the third time.
Mr. Dawson moved the recommittal of the bill for amendment.
Mr. Alston was against a general recommi- tment of the bill, but friendly to a recommi- tment for the purpose of limiting its duration.
Messrs. Nicholson, Smilie, Early, and S. L. Mitchell opposed the recommittal.
Mr. Bedinger advocated the recommittal.
The motion to recommit was then negatived Ayes 39, Noes 43.
Mr. Alston said, if there was no objection, he would move the insertion of a clause to limit the period of the bill, on account principally of the great powers conferred on the executive.
This motion being objected to by Mr. Lyon, was declared out of order.
The question was then put on the passage of the bill.
Messrs. Lyon, Sloan, Jackson and Bedinger opposed, and Mr. Smilie supported its pas- sage.
Mr. Varnum moved to recommit, for amend- ment, that part of the bill that vests equity pow- ers in the courts of Louisiana.
Motion negatived—Ayes 39—Noes 44.
A motion was made to recommit the 4th section which was lost, Ayes 15.
Mr. Bedinger moved to recommit the last section for the purpose of obtaining a limitation to the act.
Motion carried, Ayes 52.
The house went into a committee of the whole —I. C. Smith in the chair, on the last sec- tion.
When Mr. Nicholson moved an amendment li- miting the act to two years and at the end of the next session thereafter.
Mr. Bedinger said he would like its limita- tion to one year better; but would if it were the sense of the House, be satisfied with two years.
Mr. Nicholson's motion was agreed to with- out a division.
The house agreed to the amendment when the final question was put on the passage of the bill, and carried in the affirmative by yeas and nays, Yeas 66, Nays 21.

THE JACOBIN TRIUMPHANT.
"That vice should triumph, virtue vice obey, This caus'd some doubts"
[Tune Vicar of Bray]
I'M a ranting roaring jacobin. This no one can gainsay fir; When constitution was the theme, I ruid the awful day fir. 'Gainst government I've ever rail'd. 'Gainst order and 'gainst law fir, To damn such measures never fail'd, From principle I trow fir, For this I've gain'd, as you may see, The object of my wishes; To loll in coach from taxes free, And taste the "loaves and fishes."
When Washington first took the helm, A terror to our race fir. His magic name throughout the realm Our projects did efface fir: Yet true to jacobinic cause, Without prevarication, I curs'd the wisdom of his laws, Nor fear'd his indignation. For this I've gained, as you may see, The object of my wishes, I drink my whiskey, taxes free. And taste the "loaves and fishes."
When whiskey lads oppos'd the laws, When Albert ruid the road, fir, His warmest friend I own I was, Nor fear'd the noose or post fir: To stop "de veels of government" His plans I oft promoted; T'excite alarm and discontent, His every measure voted. Let wild mirths forever claim, A jacobin's best wishes, For liberty is but a name Without the "loaves and fishes."
Virginia's blacks and Europe's rogues, Our props and our support fir, The refuse from dear Erin's bogs, Are all the thing at court fir; Our Chief's their friend, and well he may, He's under obligation, To them he owes his present sway, And rules a cheated nation. Such instruments are pretty things, And pat to all our wishes, Their "useful labor" surely brings The promis'd "loaves and fishes."
On cause prevails, in reason's spite, And fed'ralism's discerned, We hum the people wrong or right, Nor are we unrewarded: Of spoil each has his promis'd gain, Of office each his choice fir, From Albert down to Bill Duane, By presidential voice fir. Huzza! my lads, then mind your eye, You know the Mammoth's wishes, Once more your arts successful ply, And swing the "loaves and fishes."

B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent.  
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 a 500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attending an 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 of 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 believed 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 next.
