ACT OF MEDIATION
Made by the First Consul of the French republic, between the parties which divide Switzerland.
7. Each commission shall assemble on the 10th of March, at the chief place of the canton, and notify its assembling immediately to the prefect.
8. Within 24 hours after that Notification, the prefect shall transmit to the commission, the papers of administration.
9. In those cases which may require instructions, or special authorities, the commissions shall address themselves to the Landamman of Switzerland.
10. On the 15th of April the constitution shall be put into a state of activity, in order that on the 1st of June each canton may elect its deputies to the Diet, and prepare their instructions, and on the first Monday in July, in the present year the Diet shall assemble.
11. The affairs pending before the supreme tribunal shall be carried to the tribunal of appeal of the Canton in which the parties reside. The supreme tribunal shall cease all its functions on the 10th of March.
12. The Helvetic troops, at present in the pay of Switzerland, who shall not be employed by the first of May by the cantons, shall be taken into the service of France.
13. No prosecution shall be carried on for crimes relating to the revolution, committed, or pretended to be committed, either by individuals, or in the exercise of any public function.
The dissolution of the central government, and the reinstatement of the sovereignty in the Cantons, requires that there should be a provision made for the discharge of the Helvetic debt, and of the disposal of the property declared national.
We, in our said quality, and with the reserve before expressed, appoint as follows—
Art. 1. The property heretofore belonging to the convents shall be restored to them, not only the property situated in the same canton but also in any other.
2. The administration of national property other than that heretofore belonging to Berne, in the cantons of Vaud and Argovia, is provisionally transmitted to the Cantons to which it belonged. The documents respecting the claims of Berne, shall be provisionally transmitted to those commissioners appointed by the Cantons of Berne, Vaud, and Argovia.
3. In each Canton burdened with debts anterior to the revolution, there shall be assigned funds for their funding or discharge out of what remains of the property heretofore belonging to the Canton.
4. There shall be re-constituted for each city a revenue proportioned to its municipal expenses.
5. The national debt shall be liquidated, to which purpose all claims shall be appropriated. If the debt exceeds the amount of the credit, the excess shall be divided amongst the Cantons, in a proportion according to what remains of their ci-devant immovable property, after the discharge of the Cantonal debts anterior to the revolution, and the recomposition of the patrimony of the cities.
6. The moveable and immovable property which shall remain after the formation of the communal funds, the discharge of the Cantonal and national debts, shall return to the possession of those Cantons to which it had belonged. The property which shall remain in the Cantons of Vaud and Argovia shall belong to them. What may remain of the claims of Berne, shall be equally distributed amongst the Cantons of Berne, Vaud and Argovia.
7. A commission composed of five members, namely, the citizens Stapfer, minister of the Republic Kuster, ex-minister of the finances, Raemy, ci-devant chancellor of Fribourg, and at present member of the administrative chamber, Sutzner, of Winterthur, Helvetic deputy, Laurent, mayor of Lucerne, president of the administrative chamber, shall determine the extent of the wants of the municipalities, and of the funds necessary for re-constituting their revenues, shall liquidate the debts of the canton and the national debt, shall assign to each debt the funds necessary to operate its discharge, and shall determine the property which shall return into the possession of each canton.
8. It shall publish the result of its labors with respect to the debts on the
10th of May, and with respect to the revenues of the cities and the patrimony of the cantons on the 10th of June: It shall send the result of each labour to the first Landamman of Switzerland, & to each canton, for the purpose of being carried into execution.
9. The commission shall assemble at the chief place of the Directorial canton, and shall remain there till the end of its labours.
The present act, the result of long conferences, between wise men and friends of virtue, appears to us to contain those dispositions which are most proper to ensure the peace and happiness of Switzerland. As soon as they shall be executed the French troops shall be withdrawn.
We recognize Helvetia, constituted conformably to the present act, as an independent power.
We guarantee the federal constitution and that of each canton, against the enemies of the tranquility of Helvetia, whomsoever they may be, and we promise to continue those relations of beneficence which for so many ages have united the two nations.

From the VIRGINIA ARGUS.
The mandamus in the supreme court.
To the Chief Justice of the United States.
No. V.
The opinion. states that "the commission being signed, the subsequent duty of the Secretary of State is prescribed by law, and not by the will of the President. He is to affix the seal of the United States and to record it."
It is true that "the subsequent duty of the secretary is prescribed by law," but the same authority that prescribed this duty gave the President a controuling power, in the construction of that duty. For by the act of Congress, constituting the department of foreign affairs, (afterwards translated into the department of state,) the Secretary is directed to conduct the business of his department "in such manner as the President of the United States, shall from time to time order or instruct."
I will bring the case to your own door. The duties of your circuit clerks are prescribed by law. Many of them are directed to be performed in vacation, when no court exists to controul them. Yet, sir, is it not known to be the established and legitimate practice, for you to controul and correct them? Was the power to quash his writs and executions every doubted?
Again, the report says, "When they are signed and sealed, the order for their being recorded is given, and whether inserted in the book or not they are in law recorded." [Can not the same legal magic that records, transmit the commission?] The law orders your clerk to record your judgments when pronounced. From that moment then they are in law recorded. Now, sir, you know that "whether inserted in the book or not," you have, and all courts exercise unquestionable power to unrecord them at discretion, at any time before they become operative, and that even if execution be, for special reasons, issued during the
term, you may for good cause supersede it.
There is no statute authorizing this, but it results necessarily from the relation between principal and clerk. "Secretary" is only another name for "clerk;" they equally imply subordination and subjection of office. The only difference between the law of clerks, is, that the former is subjected to the will of his superior, by statute and implication, both, and the latter by implication only. The reason, of the various statutory directions to the clerks and Secretary, and not to the courts and President to be by them given over, was, that the former might not be obliged to harrafs the latter upon every petty occasion of duty for a special order, as a previous warrant to the act. The province of the higher powers are to devise, and that of the instruments to execute. If the executing agent was not under the revision of the devising power, the agent might become superior to the principal by thwarting his measures in the execution at pleasure.
If the law should prescribe a duty on the Secretary, wholly, unconnected with an executive act (chusing rather to err in favour of your reputed judgement than against it,) I am not prepared to say, that the President could regulate his conduct notwithstanding the generality of the words of the act constituting the department of foreign affairs. Of this nature are the duties marked out by the acts of Congress cited in the report. They are cases no way apposite to the one in question; where the sealing and recording were incidental to an executive duty.
But it might be safely admitted, that the sealing and recording of the commission were every way independent of the President's will.
The report supposes the duties of the Secretary, in sealing and recording, not to be guided by the will of the President, because they are prescribed by law. The implication is, that if they were not prescribed by law, they would be subject to the will of the President. All duties then not prescribed by law, are subject to the will of the President, by the admission of the report. [The statute, as I have shewn, makes every duty subject to that will without exception. Let the statute, though be relaxed to quadrat with the opinion reported.] It is expressly admitted that as to the delivery of the commission sought after by the rule, "the acts are silents." This is not a duty of the Secretary then prescribed by law, and cannot come within the limits of the exception said to be taken by the court. The retention or delivery therefore forms a part of the business that must be conducted in the words of the act, "in such manner as the President of the United States shall from time to time order or instruct."
The favorite idea throughout the report is, that there is more danger in trusting the President than his Secretary. A heresy in the theory of government, disarmed of its terrors by nothing but its extravagance.
But let the Secretary have the superiority, and suppose an obscure individual to execute an instrument, merely conferring a power on a person with whom no contract had been made, and that the law should enjoin the Secretary of State to record it without more. Who would have the right to the original, the Secretary?
Thus, sir, on every principle, and in all the colors that Cameleon fancy can turn the subject, you are by the report, (not by me) made "to intrude into the cabinet, and to intermeddle with the prerogative of the executive," even at the moment you were exploding the right.
LITTLETON.
No. VI.
It is true, sir, that some point of time must be taken when the power of the executive over an officer, not removable at his will, must cease.
There are four points of time to be considered.
1st. On the appointment. 2nd. On the signing of the commission. 3rd. On the delivering of the commission, and 4th. On the qualification.
The report says, "that point of time must be when the constitutional power of appointment has been exercised; and this power has been exercised when the last act required from the person possessing the power has been performed. This last act is the signature of the commission."
The courts are formed to give judgments. The law directs the presiding judge to sign the judgments of each day.
Now suppose the enquiry to be as to "the point of time when your power over a cause should cease." And suppose I were to venture in the language of the opinion thus: "that point of time must be when the constitutional power of judging has been exercised; and this power has been exercised when the last act required from the person possessing the power has been performed. This last act is the signature of the judgment."
If I were so to force your patience, you would probably commit me for stupidity, and have my licence revoked. It is every day's practice to erase, alter, change and rescind judgments so signed "for reasons appearing to the court" within the term.
In the 21st paragraph of the report, the appointment is, by labored argument, established to be an act entirely distinct from the commission. The latter is taken to be mere evidence of the former. The act of appointment must precede the evidence of it; consequently "the constitutional power of appointment is exercised" and must of course, according to the first proposition of the recited passage be determined before the commission is fairly thought of. If the appointment consists in an act of volition (and it must consist in volition, if the commission be not a constituent part of it) the very first presidential resolve concludes him forever. In vain may he then discover that he has been foully deceived, and that the meditated promotion will bring imbecility, vice, or even treason into the bosom of the state. "The time for deliberation is then passed. He has decided. His judgment on the advice and consent of the senate, concurring with his nomination, has been made, and the officer is appointed!"
The first proposition of the sentence transcribed at the head of this number, has taken its stand against the two that follow after; and those two have arrayed themselves, within the lists, for a trial of strength with the proposition separating the act of appointment from its evidence. Let us continue to look on upon this tournament of propositions. They are, to be sure, of the clumsy, booby sort, seemingly in competition for which should do the worst; but it really is for which shall do the best. Amusement in the ludicrous will afford us some comfortable respite, and the gratification of an idle curiosity cannot offend.
If the president's power ceases immediately on the appointment, or awaits the evidence of it only, principle would acknowledge the former. The president might in the lack of evidence of the disposition of power, cheat the country into a resumption of it; but that resumption would be as illegal and dishonest without evidence, as with it. It may suit the morality of one habituated to jesuitism, with mischief in his heart and moderation on his tongue, to measure the rectitude of his actions by the evidence furnished for their investigation. But the first magistrate of a great empire is not to become a juggler in prerogative, or a privileged prowler in fraud and turpitude.
So the first proposition out-tits all the rest.
In the report the point of time, on the delivery of the commission for the President's power to cease, is adverted to. It makes you say "It has been delivered "when executed, and given to the secretary for the purpose of being sealed "recorded and transmitted to the party." The witches of York could cut capers thro' key-holes, yet their craft was sure to desert them, when encountered by the executioner's arm. But the wand of fiction is imbued with a subtilty that never fails to elude the most alert and deadly of its foes. It touches its talisman, law, nature and reason are paralyzed in the enchantment. When I asked in the last number, whether the same legal magic that recorded, without hand, pen or paper, could not complete the work, by transmitting the commission,
* 29 para. of the report.

There is no error in the sentence that I should be appointed to have been complete and irrevocable—that whether his commission was inserted in the book or not it was in law recorded—that a copy of that record, if the original never came to hand, would be evidence of the appointment. That his title to the original or copy was complete—that livery was not necessary to the appointment, and it is insinuated that livery were necessary it was made. Marbury is made to have been an officer complete for more than two years without accepting or rejecting, and his right yet to accept or reject is maintained. If the election in this acceptance or refusal can last for 2 years, it may last for an age, in the case of a judge. Thus the Supreme court might be without a quorum of judges and the holders of the commissions no way liable to impeachment or amenable to the laws, while the qualified judges would be in limbo.
The opinion is reported to have drawn to a focus, in 'This is then a plain case for a mandamus;' and again, that there was a violation of the applicant's right 'for which the laws of his country afforded him a remedy.'
The process of the circuit courts cannot run into the district of Columbia. The county court of Washington is the only court of original jurisdiction there. The acts of the Executive government are then subject to the scrutiny and control of this little pipowder court. The idea is too ridiculous to excite alarm, disgust or even merriment.
LITTLETON.
No. VII.
IN general the creature is dependent on the creator. The President creates officers, and thence has the attendant power of destroying them. Neither the confirmation or the statutes directly confer the displacing power, but it results from his right of appointment. If the person appointed has gone into the occupancy of office, a motion is necessary—if he has not gone into the occupancy, nothing more is required than to annul the appointment or commission. This is the theory confirmed to in the practice of the Washington and Adams administrations to the satisfaction of all parties.
This resulting power of removing from office would be here, as it was formerly in England, universal over the officers of the executive appointment, not excepting those of a judicial nature, had not the law itself interposed such exception. The Columbia act of 1801 provides for the continuance of the justices in office for five years. This forms a restraint on the President's power, but the restraint on it must be limited by the terms importing it. There must be no interruption to the continuance of the man in office. Until the officer elect begins in his office he cannot continue in office—until that beginning in office [which can never be until his qualification] the inherent power over the appointment and commission must remain.
No law is found to limit the President's authority further. And on the same principles, and for the same reasons that he can revoke the commission of any ministerial appointment, he can revoke one in the judiciary before qualification. Till then the person commissioned is not an officer, and it is nicknaming him to call him one. The tenure of the judge's office is consecrated to secure his independence in the performance of official acts in general, and particularly to prevent a prostration of office to Executive influence. But until there is an investiture of office it cannot be either dependent or protracted.
To declare the tenure of office a safeguard to that which was not commensurate with the office, is a solecism offensive to common sense.
If the President has not his inherent power over a judicial commission till complete induction into office—if he is not to be allowed, as in other cases till this period to probe and correct his own errors;—of all the appointments to be made by him, those in the judiciary (where it is of treble importance to have the best election) are likely to be the worst. Until the appointment is divulged, there is no certainty of correct information in the cabinet respecting the qualities of the candidate. When it is promulgated, enquiry is excited—the moral and intellectual character is investigated, and if the President finds that he was upon the brink of filling a great law office with a foi or a bead, he may (as it is said Mr. Adams did in the case of one of the applicants) run his pen through the name of the person in whom he had been deceived.
If this were not the law, woefully improvident would the makers of the federal constitution have been. They would have left it in the power of any three men commissioned as judges of your court to suspend its functions for their lives without responsibility. Of anti-federal principles, they might choose to put their commissions in their pockets, and obliquely persevere in neither accepting or rejecting. The applicant himself has neither accepted or rejected. Remember, that the opinion affirms his
appointment to have been complete and irrevocable—that whether his commission was inserted in the book or not it was in law recorded—that a copy of that record, if the original never came to hand, would be evidence of the appointment. That his title to the original or copy was complete—that livery was not necessary to the appointment, and it is insinuated that livery were necessary it was made. Marbury is made to have been an officer complete for more than two years without accepting or rejecting, and his right yet to accept or reject is maintained. If the election in this acceptance or refusal can last for 2 years, it may last for an age, in the case of a judge. Thus the Supreme court might be without a quorum of judges and the holders of the commissions no way liable to impeachment or amenable to the laws, while the qualified judges would be in limbo.
The opinion is reported to have drawn to a focus, in 'This is then a plain case for a mandamus;' and again, that there was a violation of the applicant's right 'for which the laws of his country afforded him a remedy.'

FIRST LEGION.

FRIDAY, MAR 13.
In the Philadelphia Gazette of the 9th inst. there is a detailed statement of intelligence from the Mediterranean in relation to our situation with the Barbary powers, which contains a mixture of truth and error.
The following contents of letters received from Algiers, as late as the 21st of February, exhibit, we believe, the most authentic information.
The specie sent by the government of the United States to the Dey of Algiers had been rejected by him, and naval stores demanded, conformably to our stipulations. The Dey threatened that unless this request was complied with war would be declared against the United States.
We understand that the Dey possesses the right of demanding stores: and that in consequence of the requisition effectual measures have been taken by the government to furnish them.
On the 9th of January they Dey declared war against France and Denmark, and ordered the consuls of those nations to depart from Algiers; but on the next day intimated to them that they might remain for some time. The Dey, at the same time, revoked the pacific arrangements made with France in August last, and demanded consular presents and two hundred thousand dollars. In consequence of these measures all the French merchants had left the Regency.
In July the Dey demanded one hundred thousand dollars, as an extraordinary present, from Denmark, who applied to Bonaparte, who instructed the French agent to interpose, at which the Dey was extremely indignant. A commodore from Denmark was expected at Algiers, and it was supposed that the claim of the Dey, would in part, be complied with.
Half of the sum stipulated to be paid by Spain had arrived; and the remainder was expected, with an additional present of 40,000 dollars. In addition to this, the Dey demands a ship of war to go on his affairs up the Levant, and forty brass cannon.
One hundred and forty five thousand dollars is demanded of Great Britain for runaway slaves, without renouncing an old claim for 187,000 dollars.
On the 30th of January the corsairs were all in port.
On the 21st of February there arrived at Algiers a Spanish frigate, and consuls, with presents to the value of 55,000 dollars, and specie to the amount of 100,000 dollars.
Two corsairs were expected to sail on the 22d of February.
[From the above statement it appears that the United States are comparatively well treated by the Dey; and that there is reason to expect that either from motives of respect or fear he will refrain from disturbing our peace.]
It is with much pleasure we announce the commencement yesterday of the erection of the BRIDGE over the EASTERN BRANCH, under the superintendence of Timothy Palmer of Newbury Port. It is contemplated to complete it in October next.
The following awkward attempt at wit of a federal print exhibits the deplorably depressed state of federalism in the state of New-York, where, we have been very lately told, the sun of federalism was rising!
'John Taylor, Esq. is elected a senator for the eastern district, and colonel Broome for the southern. 'Par mobile fratrum.' When the whole senate being purely democratic, meet, they will not only constitutionally but truly constitute 'a court of errors.'
We insert from the Aurora a well merited eulogium on general STEVENS THOMPSON MASON, whose untimely death every patriot will mourn. The tribute to his talents is not unmeaning common place, but characteristic delineation. The loss which the people of America sustain is great; but that loss will be mitigated by a recollection and imitation of his virtues. Those virtues, and the good they effected, demand the pen of one who, feeling as he felt, and thinking as he thought, in the important concerns of public life, shall be able to raise a monument to his memory founded on the imperishable patriotism of his countrymen.
Our illustrious citizens are leaving the scene; and it is to be feared that owing to the supineness of biography-paternity will learn little beyond the outlines of their character; whereas their services, while they present to genius the best subjects for description, demand a full and faithful detail—Let us hope to receive before long a copious biography of the subject of these remarks.
Ludicrous Federal mistake. The Frederick town Herald, a federal print, after giving the debate in the House of Representatives on Mr. Griswold's resolution respecting the report
of the commissioners of the sinking fund, observes:
"We cannot close these remarks, without paying a tribute of justice to Mr. Bronson, one of the Editors of the Gazette of the United States, to whom the public are indebted, for this report of the debate on Mr. Griswold's resolution. The precision and correctness, with which the different calculations are reported, and the clearness and force with which the arguments, on this complicated subject, are stated, exhibit at once the accuracy and attention of the reporter, and the knowledge and judgment of the politician."
Now it happens, unfortunately, for the subject of this eulogium that he was not present during the debate. The Editor of the National Intelligencer was the only reporter in the House.
MILITIA OF COLUMBIA.
On Saturday last the 1st Battalion (consisting of four companies of Infantry, Capt. Brent's company of Horse and Capt. Patterson's company of artillery) of the 1st. Legion of the Militia of the District of Columbia, commanded by Major Van Ness, underwent a review of inspection agreeably to the law of the United States for their organization.
After the inspection was gone through by Major Wingate, the Inspector, accompanied by Major Van Ness—the troops were formed into Platoon, and, after having marched by the President's house (where they had the honor of saluting him, accompanied by the heads of departments, and several other gentlemen) through the most pleasant parts of the City, they returned to the Field of Parade—The manner in which the various operations of the day were conducted was honorable to the officers and men: and it was gratifying to a crowd of spectators, to witness their improvement in discipline and appearance. It was with great pleasure that upon this occasion we saw many of our most wealthy and respectable citizens in the ranks, armed and equipped as the law directs.
The Weather.
We have recently experienced for several days an unprecedented coldness of weather; having had the uncommon spectacle of a fall of snow in May, and ice of considerable thickness having been formed for several successive nights—The same weather appears from the following statement to have occurred at a considerable distance.

The weather, during the preceding week, has been unusually cold and boisterous for the season. On Saturday Morning last there was ice in and near this city, of the thickness of a dollar; and during the night of Saturday and the morning of Sunday, there was a fall of snow which did considerable damage to the vegetable world. The Lombardy Poplars, in the streets and gardens of this city, were generally injured—the weight of the snow which adhered to the leaves and branches, in some instances bore down the whole tree, and, in most others, it stripped them of their tops and principal branches. Many who slept in chambers contiguous to those trees were awakened, by the cracking of the falling limbs, to behold the singular spectacle which they exhibited. We have conversed with several old inhabitants of Philadelphia on this subject, who agree in saying, that they have no recollection of snow in May, excepting the instance above mentioned, and another which occurred on the fourth of May, in the year 1771 or 1772, which destroyed the greater part of the early fruit.
New-York, May 9.
The cold for some days past has been uncommonly severe for the season. At Greenwich, in the neighborhood of the state Prison, on Friday evening, ice was found a quarter of an inch thick; and yesterday morning we had a very severe storm of hail, rain and snow—a circumstance hardly ever remembered to have occurred in this city in the month of May.
For the National Intelligencer.
Mr. Smith,
In addition to the information lately given by the Spanish Minister to our Government, that the King of Spain had transmitted orders for the immediate restoration of our right of deposit at New-Orleans, I have had the satisfaction to learn, from an authentic and undoubted source, that our government was at the same time assured, that all our rights under the Spanish treaty were secured to us in the cession of Louisiana to France. When to this it is added, that the public have been informed, though not officially, that France recognizes our rights under that treaty, who can doubt the policy, the wisdom and the justice of the present administration, or who can doubt the madness, if not the iniquity of the leaders of opposition, in their attempts to drive us into a war with France and Spain? For such must have been the consequence of our seizing upon New-Orleans. The latter would have taken arms for the purpose of putting France into possession of Louisiana
agreeably to the treaty of cession, and the former, proud of her victoriis to avenge the insult offered to her by our usurpation of a right, which she had acquired under that cession.
The time has now arrived in which the citizens of this country must appreciate the fortitude and the conciliatory disposition of our executive.
France and England, if they have not already entered the lists of contention, are on the eve of a recommencement of hostilities. How far the ravages of their mutual enmity may extend, or how long the flames of this new conflict will continue to desolate the world, time only can determine. It is very happy for us that the present administration of our government did not think the unauthorized act of a subordinate officer of the crown of Spain, was sufficient reason for the declaration of war. For had they unwisely adopted the measures recommended by the opposition, we should now be involved in an European contest, a long and bloody war with France and Spain, would have been the result. We might now be driven to the necessity of forming an alliance offensive with Great Britain. She would have been our ally: we must have submitted to be governed by her destinies, and bled at every pore to gratify her ambition.
Such a connection with Great Britain was undoubtedly foreseen by the opposition. They perceived that an act of hostility on our part against Spain, would be a prelude to a rupture between France and England, and would most likely accelerate that event. Our aid in the contest would not have shortened its duration—And we, who ought to despise the sanguinary policy of other governments, should have helped to swell the tide of human misery, and prolong the period of its existence. But by the wisdom of the administration we have manifested to the world that "peace," is the motto of our national character. We can now stand aloof from the scene of controversy, and behold with calmness the breaking of the tempest. Standing on the high ground of neutrality, we can derive to ourselves all the benefits of the war without feeling its calamities. If our object be the acquisition of territory on the Mississippi for the purpose of securing a deposit for the produce of the western country, we have now an opportunity of negotiating with effect. France, to whom the right of possessing Louisiana now belongs, will probably be willing to dispose of an unproductive part of her territory for a pecuniary consideration. She will be immediately benefited by the negotiation, and we shall acquire a place of deposit free from foreign control, without the necessity of sacrificing the lives of our citizens, and without imposing upon them any additional burdens. But should this not be the case, we have reason to felicitate ourselves, that we have already acquired by a pacific policy, what, perhaps we should not have obtained by the expenditure of millions, and by years of hostility and bloodshed. Every ground, upon which the opposition attempted to urge us into a war, is removed. That the act of the Intendant was unauthorized by the crown of Spain, is proved by the immediate orders which were issued by the Spanish King for the restitution of our right of deposit. That France will not disturb us in the enjoyment of that right is manifested by the terms under which she accepts of the cession of Louisiana, and by her own acknowledgment that she is bound by the treaty between us and Spain.
CURIUS.
CONSULATE OF SPAIN,
Baltimore, May 9, 1803.
THE undersigned, his catholic majesty's consul for the state of Maryland, hereby gives public notice to those whom it may concern, that, agreeably to a royal Tortosa, the nineteenth November, 1802, and officially transmitted to him, Consular certificates will be required in all the custom houses in the kingdom of Spain, proving the exportation and origin of all foreign produce or merchandise intended to be imported in any of the ports thereof: These certificates to be given by his majesty's consuls residing in the respective provinces or departments to whose district the articles of produce or goods to be certified shall have belonged: or, by those residing at the ports of exportation; with this absolute condition, that for each separate article and owner, a certificate must be produced, specifying the number of packages or chests therein contained; and separate certificates will be required, according to the diversity of the articles, of the marks of the packages, chests and owners; and in every instance of contravening this royal order, the goods shall be confiscated.
J. B. BERNABEAU. May 10.
From the Aurora.
The Attorney General of the United States.
Many topics have been used to depreciate the professional abilities of Levi Lincoln, Esq. the Attorney General of the United States. Among these, the remarks upon his opinion on the subject

of the refined sugar tax were not the last conscientious. In the month of June 1807, Mr. Lincoln gave an opinion to the Secretary of the Treasury, that the duty would be collectable (on the removal) for all sugars refined before July and moved after June. This was the first law opinion given on the subject. It was dissenting from by several able lawyers in Philadelphia and other places. The opinion of Mr. Lincoln was as follows:
"1st. The laws imposing the duties having declared that the duty should be paid on all spirit distilled and on all sugar refined after the days respectively fixed for the commencement of the operation of the laws, the duty does attach on each article respectively, as soon as the same is manufactured."
"2d. The law to repeal the internal taxes having declared that the duties should be discontinued after the 30th instant, and that the laws relative thereto should be repealed after the same day, with a proviso that the provisions for the recovery and receipt of the duties, which shall have accrued on that day shall remain in force, it results, that the duties on spirits distilled and sugars refined before the 1st of next month must be collected and recovered, in conformity to the provisions heretofore in force for that purpose."
"3d. The provisions, in relation to the removal of spirits and sugars, are only regulations pointing out the mode of collecting the duties. According to those provisions, although the duty attaches to the article as soon as the same is manufactured, yet it is not demandable, or in other words, it cannot be required from the manufacturer, that he should pay or secure the same, until the article is ready for removal."
The republication of this opinion may serve to temper party, and to preserve moderation and decorum, since the circuit court of the United States has decreed, after the able support given to the negative by William Rawle, Jared Ingersoll, and Edward Tilghman Esqrs. that the duty is collectable, in conformity with Mr. Attorney General Lincoln's opinion. As that gentleman has been subjected to many unpleasant remarks for this early, original and confirmed opinion, it is hoped that this article will be republished in other Gazettes.
Mr. MUNROE, our Envoy Extraordinary to France, has arrived at Havre, in the ship Richmond, Rudd.

The distribution of this immense property is as follows:—Lord Gower gets the whole of the Canal property, house, pictures, and an estate, value 70,000l. a year; General Egerton gets 600,000l.

DIED—Isaac Bloom, of the town of Clinton, in Dutchess county, much regretted by all who knew him. Mr. Bloom was a Judge of the court of Common Pleas, of Dutchess, and member of the house representatives of the United States, elected last Fall, and was to have served in that capacity two years from the 4th of March last.
Letters from Brest, of the 2d March state, that the expedition for the East Indies was to sail in a few days; it is composed of the Marengo of 74 guns, the frigates Alalante, la Belle Poule, la Semillante, la Cote d'Or, and the transport la Marie Francoise. The troops embarked consist of one battalion of the 109th demi brigade of the line, of one of the 18th light infantry, a company of light artillery, and a company of Swedes, some artizans, and the corps of Officers of two battalions of Seapoy's, who are to be formed in India. These troops are animated with the best spirit. The Commander in Chief sails on board the Marengo, in which ship is also Rear Admiral Linois, in part of the staff and of the Engineers. The Civil Officers, who are very numerous, are distributed among the other vessels.
Philadelphia May 10 DIED at Philadelphia May 10th, half after 11 o'clock last night, Gen. STEPHENS THOMAS MASON, one of the Senators representative of the state of Virginia in the Congress of the United States. General Mason had arrived in this city on Tuesday last for medical assistance in a dropsical complaint, but the disease had arrived at too malignant a state to submit to the skill of the faculty, or the power of medicine.
It requires faculties and virtues equal to those which have distinguished his honorable life, to render justice to the character of this man of men. In his loss his country suffers in common with his family, for to both was his public and his private life devoted. In social life, as the faithful husband, the affectionate parent, and the unchangeable friend—in public the intrepid assertor of his country's liberties and the principles of the revolution of 1776. Blessed by heaven with a benignant and generous spirit
favoured by education with all the endowments which give genius dignity; whether in the trying hour of political conflict and persecution or in the calm of liberty rescued from destruction, he has alike commanded the respect of his adversaries, and the increasing esteem of his friends.
Few men have passed through trying times with greater dignity and resolution, and none with more kindness even to those whom he opposed. His hostility was not the war of malice but of a generous patriot; his strife though it was vigorous, was noble, and even when he confounded his opponent in the blaze of his eloquence, the vanquished found himself chastised rather than hurt, overcome but not wounded by the vehemence of anger or malignity.
General Mason has left behind him few who combine talent, temper, and private and public virtue in such happy proportions—yet he dies comparatively young in years; the writer of this believes not exceeding his forty third year.
The funeral of General Mason will take place this evening, at five o'clock precisely—the officers of the federal and state governments, & of the militia of this state and the militia legion under arms, are invited by the governor of this commonwealth to attend on the occasion.
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, received at Baltimore, dated March 24th, 1803.
"The sword of destruction appears once more on the point of being unsheathed; indeed, in England war is looked upon as a moral certainty, and the most extraordinary diligence is exercised in putting the naval force in readiness. A fleet of observation has been appointed for the channel. Insurance at Lloyd's, from London to Bordeaux, has got up to five guineas per cent. and its said policies are opened for war. Mr. King writes to the American Minister at Paris, he looks hourly for a re-commencement of hostilities. The French funds have fallen from eight per cent. Our underwriters refuse taking any new risks whatever. Considerable purchases have been made in sugar and coffee. Exchange on London has got up to 24 fr. We hear that the Chief Consul has dispatched special envoys to every court in Europe. Bonaparte has signified to Mr. Livingston his desire of having all the United States claims paid, with full compensation for the delay. Orders are sent out to the different administrations of St. Lucie, Tobago and Guadalupe to draw no more bills on France, government having allotted two millions per month for the service of the colonies."

Pittsburgh, Penn. April 29. The ship Pittsburgh, captain McCutcheon, sailed from this place on Tuesday last. Both these vessels belong to Messrs. Tarleton Brothers, James Berthoud and Co. and were built at their ship-yards adjoining their town. The Pittsburgh is 270 tons burthen, and is the largest vessel yet built on the western waters.
The Pittsburgh is bound for Lisbon, and the Amity for St. Thomas. Their cargoes flour.
New-York, May 9. The captain of the Ich't Faller, from Aux Cayes, informs us that when he left that quarter every plantation in the plain had been burnt by the negroes. A few days before the vessel failed, an attack was made on the French troops shut up in Aux Cayes; but the assailants were severely repulsed. Two hundred men arrived there from Tiburon on the 2d of April, and 500 more on the day following. Aux Cayes was surrounded on all sides by the insurgents.
Alexandria, May 5. Amount of flour and meal inspected at this port for three months, ending the 30th of April last. 69,022 whole bls. 2,581 half do. 345 meal.

Philadelphia, May 10. By the politeness of a mercantile friend we, at a late hour last evening, were furnished with Cork papers to the 29th of March, received by the Caroline, they contain no London articles later than the 23d and from a hasty perusal find no Irish articles worthy notice, except the following.
CORK, March 29.
We have received the London papers to the 24th inst. together with the several foreign and domestic journals. Nothing positive relative to the great question of Peace or War has as yet transpired; but the warlike preparations are prosecuted with unremitting and unparalleled zeal and energy.

THE ELECTION. We feel much pleasure in congratulating our friends, and the supporters of our government, on the increasing prevalence of correct principles and genuine republicanism, which is strikingly exemplified in the result of the late election.
Sufficient time has not elapsed to enable us to ascertain the precise majorities in the several counties composing the middle district; yet our information enables us to state with confidence, that the Republican ticket has uniformly prevailed in every county. In Dutchess, the republican majority will be greater than it was last year; and will probably be between 4 and 500; In Columbia, where the federal ticket prevailed last year, the average majority for the republican assembly ticket is 61. As far as we have heard, the result in other districts is no less pleasing. In New-York the republican assembly ticket obtained an average majority of 692; the federal senator had a majority of 75—In Richmond, the successful candidate for assembly is a republican, and the first that has been elected to represent the county since the revolution—Majority 89; federal majority for senator 28. In Rensselaer, the republicans had to combat a powerful manor influence, and to oppose the artful intrigues of a desperate federal junta—But they were vigilant and active, and their exertions have been crowned with victory.
Albany, May 3. Of the late elections in this District we are not prepared to give the particulars at present. From verbal accounts, however, which can be relied on, we are able to state unequivocally that the triumph of sound principles has been more general and decisive, than at any former election. In Albany county, the Federal majority for the Senator Ticket, is not to great by eight or nine hundred votes, as it was in 1801; and the majority for their Assembly Ticket has suffered a correspondent diminution. In Rensselaer county, which has hitherto been the strongest hold of mock federalism, the republican Senator and Assembly Tickets, have obtained majorities. In Washington, Saratoga and Montgomery, the republican majorities have been as powerful as ever. In the small counties of Clinton and Essex, we have no doubt of republican majorities; but from these we have received no accounts. In short, if the other Districts have done as the Eastern, the enemies of Republicanism, in this state may hang their harps on the willows. From the Western District we have no accounts, excepting a letter from a republican friend in Schoharie county, from which the following is an extract:
"Friday, 3 o'clock, P. M. "Our Assembly Ticket, you will recollect, was last year, carried by a majority of only about 15. This year it will succeed by 400! All the returns are not yet come in; but the moment they do, you shall be furnished with them—to shew to the "Friends of Order," whether or not Republicanism has received a shock from their lying pamphlet, and Schuyler's affidavit. The majority for Hyde will be very great here."
From the Bee.
Hudson, May 3. When the election of city officers for this corporation, on the 5th ult. terminated in favor of the ticket supported by the federalists, we were told of the 'increased and respectable majority' of federalists in Hudson &c. although the election was not decided by principles of general politics, but on circumstances of a local and temporary nature. "From this result (however, laid the Ballance) we have reason to expect a very handsome federal majority at the county election." How this expectation has been realized, the following statement will determine. Last year there was an average federal majority of 150 in the county which we have gained, since that time, with the addition of an average of 88 in favor of our ticket.
The republican candidates for Senators were Robert Johnson, Joshua H. Brett, and James Burt, against whom there was no effectual opposition. The votes given for members of Assembly are as below.
 Samuel Ten Broeck, 1800  James I. Van Alen, 1791  Benjamin Birdsell, 1776  Stephen Miller, 1764  Wm W. Van Nels, 1738  Moncrief Livingston, 1694  Garet Gock, 1685  Antion Pratt, 1663  Average majority for the republican ticket, 88. 
In New-York the republican ticket was successful, and in Dutchess county, as also in Ulster and Greene, where a member of congress is elected. We have not heard from any other counties.

TRINIDAD: By their Excellencies his Majesty's Commissioners for executing the office of Governor of the said island and its dependencies &c.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas a proclamation for encouraging the importation of provisions, lumber, and all other things into this island in vessels the property of the subjects of the United States of America was issued on the 5th day of October last past, by his excellency brigadier general Thomas Pictou, the sole governor and commander in chief of the island of Trinidad, by and with the advice and consent of his majesty's council, did expire on the 5th day of this month. And whereas the same emergency that called for such proclamation now exists—
We have thought it expedient, by and with the advice and consent of his majesty's council of this island, to proclaim, publish and declare, that it shall be lawful for vessels the property of the subjects of the United States of America, coming directly from the said states with lumber of all kinds, flour, peas and corn, salted and other provisions, pitch, tar, turpentine, tobacco, cattle, horses, mules, and live stock, being the growth and produce of the said United States, to dispose of their said cargoes, and receive in barter or exchange any articles the produce of this island (except indigo, cotton, lignum-vitae, and dying woods of all descriptions,) to the exact amount of their respective cargoes, and no more.—And the several officers of his majesty's customs are hereby enjoined and required to govern themselves accordingly.—And this proclamation shall be, and continue in full force and virtue for the space of six months from the said fifth day of April last past. Given under our hands and seals, this sixth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and three, and of his majesty's reign the forty-third year.

NEW-YORK, May 10.
The ship Franklin, Townsend, of Salem, arrived at Martha's Vineyard from Calcutta on the 3d instant. She left the Cape of Good Hope on the 8th of March, and brings the following important information:
"The Cape of Good Hope was given up to the Dutch on the 21st February, at which time the troops of the Batavian Republic took possession, to the great joy of the inhabitants. The English government, it appears, had sent out new orders after the former ones to retain it; but the frigate had a long passage, so that the British troops had held possession from the first of January to the 21st Feb. They had mostly embarked for India before the Franklin failed; notwithstanding which, the British Commanders, at the time they left the Cape, said they expected a new war in Europe, and wished they had retained possession."

THE ARABIAN HORSE The DEY of ALGIERS,
WILL send this season at Mount-Air, near Filicawaya, in Maryland, and will cover at Forty Dollars the season, and one Dollar to the Groom (commencing the 10th of March, and to end the 1st of Augst) the money to be sent with the Mares.
This beautiful animal was brought from Arabia, in the year '68, at four years old, by the late grand Bailiff Fromm of Prussia, into that kingdom, and was purchased at the sale of the Bailiff's Stud, after his death, at Fehrbellen in '69, by Lieutenant General Frederick Baron of Diemar, by whom he was sent to Hamburg to Col. Swan, whence he was by that gentleman shipped to America: to attest which, and to prove him to be a genuine Arabian horse, original certificates are in my hands, and may at all times be seen.
The Dey is of full stature for his race; he measures exactly fourteen hands two inches and an half. His color is nearly white, with a few brown spots dished over his neck and shoulders. In figure and bone, it is believed he will stand the test of the best judgment. He is only eight years old the coming Spring. He is of fine presence and carriage, and remarkably vigorous and active.
I have excellent and extensive pasture well fenced, adjoining the stand, at 50 cents per week. Great care shall be taken of mares, and every justice done them with the horse; but I will be answerable for no accidents or escapes. If gentlemen at a distance choose to send servants with their mares, they shall be provided for on reasonable terms.
EDWARD EDELIN.
