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 un-
necessary, as it is probable he has changed them. He
has been frequently seen about town since he ab-
sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by
his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave
of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now
said to be free. The above reward will be paid
for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and
a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis-
covery of those who have been accessory to his
concealment.
Captain's of vessels, &c. are forewarned at
their peril, not to take him away.

REMARKS.
The importation of Cottons, during the last two months, has been inconsiderable, and for the low qualities, there has been a pretty steady demand. Of Uplands our stock is small, and good is scarce to be met with; the qualities on sale are Ordinary and Middling, and are going off at from 13d. to 13d. 3-4 per lb. and some, which scarcely come under the description of good, have been sold at 15d. Good and fine qualities of the new crop, when it comes forward, will probably meet with a ready sale. New-Orleans, of Middling and Fair qualities have gone off at from 14d. a 16d. 1 2 per lb. and about 800 bags Middling and Fair Tennessees, were sold last week, at 14d. 5-8 a 15d. per lb. Considerable purchases of good and fine Sea Island Cotton, have been made of late at these low prices, but not altogether intended for the purpose for which it is generally applied; as the fine yarns continue without demand. It has been principally used in the manufacture of coarse yarn, and some has been bought on speculation, in the expectation of future advantage. The principal holders have latterly felt inclined to accept these low prices for their stocks generally; and if the new cottons keep some time out of the market, the quantity on hand will probably be considerably lessened, and in such case prices somewhat better might be expected for what may remain. If, on the other hand, the consumers keep their works employed in the low qualities, and do not come forward to purchase fine cottons until after the new crop shall have arrived, there does not seem reason to expect, provided it proves good in quality, that the present currency will be advanced.
The quantity of Flour which has arrived from America, for the last two months, has been very trifling; but there is still, in this market, about 4000 barrels, the bulk of it being inferior in quality, it goes off very slowly. The demand for grain and flour, in general, has been very dull for some time, at this port, as the farmers in the interior of the country, have been pressing their stocks on the markets, which we used to employ; but we expect they will not be so anxious to sell, after they have completed their payments, which became due at this season, and then the demand in this market, we expect, will re-
When the court had over-ruled the motion for the continuance, the counsel for Callender claimed for him the benefit of that clause of the constitution, which was intended to secure a trial by an impartial jury. The judge (Chase) declared that he would see justice done in that respect. When the jury were about to be sworn, the counsel wished to ask each individual composing it, whether they had formed and delivered any opinion, concerning the charges in the indictment. As they had never heard the indictment read, they of course answered in the negative. The jurors stated that they knew not what was in the indictment. Indeed it was hardly possible that they should know; as I believe the indictment was not read in court, until the jury were actually sworn. One of the jury, John Basset, stated that he was unwilling to serve, having made up his mind as to the book called "The Prospect, &c;" but as he acknowledged that he had not formed and delivered an opinion concerning the charges in the indictment, because in fact, he knew not what they were, his objections were over-ruled.
When the trial commenced, Colonel John Taylor, of Caroline, was introduced as a witness for the prisoner. I believe he was sworn. The counsel wished to interrogate him. This they were not permitted to do, until they had stated the points to which his evidence related. They were then obliged by Mr. Chase, to reduce the questions, which they wished to propound to Col. Taylor, to writing, and then to submit them to his inspection, that he might determine whether they should be propounded or not.
Colonel Taylor's evidence was rejected. The ground of this opinion, as stated by Mr. Chase was this, that Col. Taylor could not prove the whole of one charge. The charge was, the judge (Chase) said, "that the President was a professed aristocrat—that he had proved faithful and serviceable to the British interest." Proving half, he said, was doing nothing; but facts must be proved. It was contended, on the part of the prisoner, that if it was necessary to prove both facts by the same witness, the charge in both points would be proved by the testimony of Col. Taylor. He would prove that Mr. Adams had professed aristocratical opinions; and that he had proved faithful and serviceable to the British interest, in the way meant by "The Prospect, &c;" by voting against the sequestration law, and the law suspending all intercourse with Great-Britain. The judge (Chase) repeated that the evidence was inadmissible, that the counsel knew it to be so, and that they only wanted to deceive and to mislead the populace.
The counsel, who were associated with me, in Callender's defence, attempted to address the jury on the unconstitutionality of the law, on which the indictment was founded. They were interrupted, and obliged, by Mr. Chase, if not ordered, to sit down. I then addressed Mr. Chase, himself with a view, to satisfy him, that I had a right to discuss this point before the jury. I told him that what I was then about to say, was intended for the court alone. He interrupted me; he asked some question, which was answered: in a very short time, after I had resumed my argument, I was interrupted again by Mr. Chase. How often I was interrupted I know not; but I was interrupted, rudely interrupted several times. Having seen in the course of this trial what I had never seen before, having felt what I never felt before, and what I certainly expect never to feel again, and being impressed with a belief that Mr. Chase was determined to silence me, if he could, my mind was overwhelmed by conflicting sentiments, and I quitted the bar, my client, and the court.
As to the manner observed by Mr. Chase during the whole of this trial, the interrogatories propounded do not seem to require that I should say any thing.
4. Did Mr. Chase refuse to the prisoner the testimony of a witness, because he, the said witness could not prove the truth of all the facts set forth, and upon which the indictment was grounded.
Answer. This question is already answered.

Interrogatories exhibited on behalf of the House of Representatives of the United States to George Hay, touching the official conduct of Samuel Chase.
1 Were you present at the trial of James T. Callender for sedition?
Answer. I was present when James T. Callender was tried for a libel on John Adams, the president of the United States.
2. When and where did the trial take place?
Answer. At the capitol, in the city of Richmond, in the State of Virginia, before Samuel Chase and Cyrus Griffin, sitting as judges of the circuit court. It commenced in the month of May, 1800. How many days were employed in the prosecution I do not remember.
3. Relate the circumstances of that trial?
Answer. I will relate those which appear to me to be material.
At the session of the circuit court in May 1800, an indictment charging Callender with libelling the President of the United States, was found by the grand jury to be a true bill. Process was soon awarded, by virtue of which he was arrested, in or near Petersburg, and brought into court. The trial, it was understood, was to take place immediately. For this Callender said he was not prepared. Nor was I, who had undertaken to be one of his counsel, prepared at that time, to discuss the two great questions which were involved in the prosecution. I was ready to argue the point concerning the constitutionality of the sedition law, but not to prove, what I then believed, and still believe to be sound doctrine, that the jury must acquit the prisoner, if they found the law unconstitutional. An argument on this subject was during the trial hastily composed; but I was not permitted to deliver it, as will be hereafter stated. A motion therefore was made for a continuance, upon the facts stated in an affidavit, now among the papers filled with the indictment. The substance of it was, that witnesses were absent whose testimony was material, and that documents were wanted which could not be immediately procured. The witnesses were named the evidence expected from each distinctly stated, and the documents wanted clearly specified. When the affidavit was presented to the court, it was urged by the counsel that the constitution secured to the prisoner a right to process to enforce the attendance of his witnesses. He had also a right, under the constitution, to the assistance of counsel in his defence; but if he were tried, when his witnesses were absent, and his counsel not prepared for his defence, without any default in him, or them, these important provisions in the constitution would be useless.
The motion was instantly overruled. The attorney for the United States was told that it was unnecessary to reply. Mr. Chase said that it would be a waste of time; that there was no reason for putting off the trial; that as the prisoner did not swear that he could prove all the charges recited in the indictment, his having testimony as to part of them, was immaterial; he must prove all, continued Mr. Chase, and it must appear that he can prove all, or the trial will not be postponed.
In the course of the argument, for the postponement, I took it for granted, as I yet believe I ought to have done, that the fine which might be assessed, would be ascertained by a jury. By the laws of Virginia, fines for misdemeanors are assessed by the jury. (See Virg. laws revised Code, p. 112.) Mr. Chase interrupted me, to tell me that I was wrong, that the supposition might be correct as to the laws of Virginia, but that it was a wild notion as applied to the federal court.

During this month we generally expect considerable supplies of Ashes; but the quantity which has as yet arrived, has been very trifling, and as our stocks of both Pot and Pearl are very small, we do not look for an advance in the prices before the Spring, if our importations should not exceed what is now expected.

Monday, March 12
JUDGE CHASE IMPEACHED.
The House went into a committee of the whole; Mr. Varnum in the chair; on the following report.
The committee REPORT—
That in consequence of the evidence collected by them, in virtue of the powers with which they have been invested by the House, and which are hereunto subjoined, they are of opinion.
1. That Samuel Chase, esquire, one of the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors:
2. That Richard Peters, district judge of the district of Pennsylvania, hath not so acted as to require the interposition of the constitutional power of this House.
On reading the first resolution for the impeachment of Samuel Chase.
Mr. Elliot spoke at considerable length; went fully into a view of the testimony contained in the report of the committee; and concluded with expressing the opinion that judge Chase had not rendered himself liable to impeachment in any case stated therein, but that of the trial of Callender. From the dispassionate and deliberate consideration of Mr. Chase's conduct on this occasion, though not prepared to ascribe to him corrupt motives, or to view him guilty of high crimes, he considered him as guilty of misdemeanors for which he was impeachable. On this ground therefore, he should vote for the report.
The question was then taken on agreeing to the first resolution and carried; Ayes 74.
The committee then agreed, without a division, to the second resolution relating to Richard Peters.
The committee rose and reported their agreement to the report of the select committee.
The House immediately took the report into consideration.
The first resolution respecting Mr. Chase having been read.
Mr. R. Griswold observed that in the select committee appointed to enquire into the official conduct of Samuel Chase there had been no discussion, and no points settled, except those contained in the resolution. No part of the documents, contained in the report, had been taken up and discussed. I would, said Mr. G. myself have undertaken on this occasion to enter minutely into the testimony, were I not of opinion that the sentiments of the House are already formed. I have examined the depositions critically, and I am ready to say that they constitute no grounds for impeachment. But I have been lamentably convinced, by a mournful experience, that nothing which can be said in the case of impeachments will have any effect on this House. I shall therefore say nothing on this resolution at this time; but shall content myself with calling for the yeas and nays.
Mr. J. Randolph. Like the gentleman from Connecticut, it is no part of my intention to enter into a consideration of the report of the committee appointed to enquire into the official conduct of Mr. Chase and Mr. Peters. On this occasion, as on another, in which I had the honor of being one of those to whom was confided the management of an impeachment, I am willing to test the decision which I shall give on the
testimony before the House. But I think the observations which have fallen from the gentleman from Connecticut require, in justice to himself (for he was a member of the committee appointed on this occasion,) and as an act of justice to that committee some remarks in reply. For what purpose he has made these observations I shall not undertake to determine. From them it would appear as if a discussion had been particularly invited. The committee consisted of seven members. On the motion of different members, sometimes in consequence of personal application, at other times by letters addressed to the committee, testimony was ordered to be taken. A day was then appointed for the meeting of the committee; they did meet. At the time appointed for the meeting some gentlemen of the committee were engaged in the character of managers of an impeachment before the Senate — he gentleman from Connecticut, and a gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Huger) also a member of the committee, waived in the library until the other members thus engaged should be in readiness.
As soon as they were ready to meet a message was sent to the library for the two gentlemen. Before this it had been intimated to the managers that the house wanted a quorum. We therefore, dispatched a message into the House for the two gentlemen. We received no answer. The committee decided the conduct of Mr. Chase impeachable, in relation to the trial of Fries, and the conduct of Mr. Peters not impeachable. In consequence of this decision, five members being present, the chairman was directed to draft the report. The report, however, not being presented, owing to the adjournment of the house, and the committee being unwilling to submit it before it had been considered by all the members of the committee it was again submitted to the committee, who were summoned for that purpose, the next morning; when it was considered and agreed to in the presence of the members previously absent.
Mr. R. concluded by expressing his regret at having troubled the house with so dry a detail; and said he had made it to shew, that if there had been no discussion, it was because there was an indisposition on either side to provoke it.
Mr. Huger. It was my wish and determination to have avoided saying any thing on the present question, and to have contented myself with giving a silent vote — nor should I now have risen but for the allusions, which have been made by the gentlemen from Connecticut and from Virginia, to what took place in the committee of investigation—The statements given by both these gentlemen are as far as they go correct, but I must beg leave to add one or two additional observations on the subject.
The committee had been duly summoned to meet on the morning of the day preceding that on which the report now under consideration, was presented to this house—Both the member from Connecticut and myself accordingly attended at, or about the usual hour of attendance; but on going to the room, in which we had always met, we found it occupied by the committee, who had been appointed to impeach judge Pickering. Most, I believe indeed, all the gentlemen, except the member from Connecticut and myself, who composed the committee of investigation, were likewise members of this committee, and as they had already met on other business, we of course retired. On my return to the house, I met the honorable chairman at the door, who expressed a wish that our committee should forthwith meet; but on my observing, that most of the members of it were on the committee of impeachment in the case of judge Pickering, which was then assembled, he proceeded to join them—intimating, if I did not mistake him, as he left me, that he would send me word should our committee meet. I received no message, however, nor heard any thing further on the subject until a few minutes before the house adjourned, when to my astonishment the gentleman from Connecticut informed me that he had been told the committee had met during our absence, and come to the determination of reporting to the house a resolution recommending the impeachment of judge Chase.
The gentleman from Virginia, however, has informed the house that before the committee proceeded to business, one or two messengers had been sent to summon both my friend from Connecticut and myself, and he had before given me the same information in private. And most certainly, Sir, I have not the smallest doubt but that this was done—for the assertion of any fact, made by the gentleman from Virginia, will ever receive from me the most ready and implicit belief. It nevertheless, so happened, that neither the member from Connecticut nor myself received the summons, or attended the committee, in which it was determined during our absence, that a report should be drawn up and made to the House, recommending the impeachment of judge Chase. This circumstance did, I confess surprise me in the first instant, and until the matter was explained to me. I still regret it; for we had never had any previous discussion in the committee, on the merits of the various charges exhibited against the judge, and I certainly did expect, that each particular case would have been thoroughly sifted and canvassed in the select committee, and a separate and distinct vote taken on each of them before any report was made.
Under this impression I had intended to have objected had I been present, to the committee's coming to any final decision until we had received the deposition of Mr. Robertson from Peters.
burg; & I had also, (as I observed to the committee on the following morning) intended to have requested, that the depositions of Mr. Edmund Randolph, late attorney general of the United States, and some other gentlemen, (whom I had just learned were present at the trial of Callender) might be taken for as the only depositions before us in this case were solely those of the parties immediately and individually concerned, and who were not merely the political opponents of judge Chase, but personally interested; as to the propriety of their own conduct in the trial was involved in the question at issue between them and the judge, I had not wished to make up my mind or give a final vote on a case in which there was evidently no other than perfectly ex parte evidence before us. The committee however having as has been stated, met during our absence and decided in favor of an impeachment, was virtually precluded from making the proposition I had intended.
It is true Mr. Speaker, and the gentleman from Virginia is perfectly correct in stating that the whole of the committee met the next day, and the report, as it now stands, was submitted to our final decision. When every individual member was present. He was equally correct in the observation, that the report was open to the objections, which might be offered from any quarter.
But, after five out of seven members had already on the preceding day decided in favor of the principle it contained, I certainly, Sir, had not the vanity to suppose, that anything I could say, would effect a change of opinion; and I conceived, that after what had passed, it would be regarded as mere cavil on my part, and only done from a wish to embarrass and create unnecessary delay, to propose, when the question of impeachment was already acted and decided upon, that we should wait for further testimony. I therefore, acquiesced, and, (after having expressed, as above stated, what I should have wished to have been done; and had intended to propose, had I been present in the committee the preceding day) I deemed it my duty, (as believing the evidence in question before us, to be entirely ex parte) to give in the select committee, as I shall again do on the present occasion, my decided negative to that part of the report, which includes the resolution for impeaching judge Chase.
The question was then taken by Yeas and Nays, on concurring in the report of the committee, agreeing to the first resolution and carried—Yeas 73, nays 32.
The report of the committee, in relation to the second resolution, was agreed to unanimously.
M. J. Randolph moved that a committee be appointed to appear at the bar of the Senate, to impeach, in the name of the House of Representatives, Samuel Chase of high crimes and misdemeanors.
The motion was adopted, and Messrs. J. Randolph and Early appointed the committee.
Mr. Nicholson moved the postponement, until the first Monday of November, of the bill for the settlement of claims for Georgia lands.
Messrs. Burns and Jackson opposed the postponement; which was carried—Yeas 59—Nays 49.
