HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SATURDAY, May 1, 1802.
Mr. Van Cortlandt called up the resolutions laid on the table, for amending the constitution of the United States in relation to the mode of choosing a President and Vice-President.
Mr. Huger thought the gentleman from New-York could not be serious. He held it a bad precedent at that late period of the session to attempt to alter the constitution. It mattered not, whether he was for or against the proposed amendment, he should be opposed to agreeing to it at this late day. He believed the constitution to be the rock of the union; and he doubted whether as good a one could be formed, were the present one lost. He believed it had been formed by our most distinguished statesmen with the greatest care. Whenever, therefore, it was contemplated to alter a part of this constitution, it ought to be done with the greatest circumspection. He confessed that he trembled at the idea of altering it, though he was attached to that part of it which gave the right of altering it. As to this particular provision, he was far from having made up his mind on it. It does appear, on first blush, that the people should designate the persons voted for as President and Vice-President; but on second thoughts there were many reasons against it. Congress having agreed to adjourn on Monday, it was improper now to discuss the subject, as it was impossible to give it a full investigation. The more important we deem the amendment, the greater is the regard which should be paid to the mode of adopting it. And at this moment, when there is scarcely a quorum of members present, if you take it up, you in some measure prevent a discussion of it.
Mr. Huger concluded by calling for the Yeas and Nays on taking up the amendment.
Mr. Foster said he hoped the amendment would not be taken up at this late hour. It would be recollected that at an antecedent session he had laid a similar resolution on the table, when it had been refused by the house to take it up from the late day of the session; though this amendment had been offered at the recommendation of New Hampshire. As this treatment was thought respectful to New-Hampshire, Mr. Foster did not think that it would be disrespectful to New-York.
Mr. Bayard wished to know whether it was in order to move the postponement of the question till November.
Mr. Speaker said such a motion was not in order, as the resolutions had been referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union.
Mr. Davis was sorry the gentleman from New-York (Mr. Van Cortlandt) had thought proper to place the house in so delicate a situation. After suffering these resolutions to lay for some months, they are now brought up on the last day, when the house is not prepared to investigate them, though there may be weighty considerations in favor of them. He was, therefore, against taking them up at present. If taken up, he should be almost compelled to vote against them; not, however, because he was really against them, but from the manner in which they are urged. Are gentlemen prepared to say that the house is in a fit state to investigate them. If there is a determination to carry them whether reasonable or not, it is certain a majority may carry them. Had they been called up a month ago he should have been pleased; but he thought it the height of imprudence to pull them now.
Mr. Van Cortlandt said he was sorry the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Huger) was uneasy at the disorder of the house. For his part he had never been the house more orderly. As to its being a late hour, that, he conceived, had nothing to do with the business, as the resolutions had lain on the table for a long time, and he presumed every gentleman, expecting to be called on to vote on them, had made up his mind. As to the remarks of the gentleman from New-Hampshire (Mr. Foster) it cannot surely be a reason with him to vote now against these resolutions, because the house had formerly been against his resolutions.
Mr. Moss was sorry these resolutions were taken up at this late hour. He did not hesitate to say that he was in favor of them; but he was against taking them up at so late a day of the session.
Mr. Elmhurst said, if the subject required any particular investigation, he should be opposed to taking it up at day. But it was so exceedingly plain, that he was persuaded it ought not to take up much of the time of the house. He certainly wished it had been taken up when there was a fuller house; but he thought it so important, that it would at no time be improper to adopt it by the vote of a constitutional majority. If it were important that the people should elect the man of their choice, it ought to be adopted. It must be evident to every gentleman, that in the convention there must have been great contrariety of opinion on this point; and in practising under the constitution a great variety of evils had been discovered. As, therefore, there had been a practical demonstration of the evils of the present plan, he believed the public mind was prepared to receive the amendment. This being a self-evident truth, he should vote in favor of adopting the amendment at this time.
Mr. Bayard felt strongly impressed by the reasons which had been assigned in point of time. The subject was not totally novel to him; but though he had heard it spoken of, expecting that it would be regularly brought up, he had not examined it in proportion to its magnitude. He believed we ought to be extremely cautious in amending the constitution, as he believed that no instrument had been better weighed in all its parts. He confessed, he was puzzled to account for the regulations prescribed in the election of a President and Vice-President; yet he was perfectly satisfied there must have been very strong reasons for it, from his reliance on the talents of those who formed the constitution. He had, however, no hesitation in laying, from all his reflections on the subject, that he was inclined to be in favor of a discrimination of the individuals voted for as President and Vice-President, as well as in favor of districts. But he believed it very improper at this late hour to agitate the subject, and he considered it a bad precedent at the end of a session to make any innovation in the constitution. However immaterial any amendment might appear to be, it ought to be very circumspectly examined; for often our first impressions are erroneous, & we are induced, on mature reflection, to change them. He was, therefore, in point of time, against taking up the resolutions; he thought it improper, when the members were occupied in preparing to depart, in packing up their clothes, with which they had packed up many of their ideas; when we are here, barely to go through the formalities attending the final passage of bills. He concluded by observing that he repeated it, that he was friendly to the amendment, but hostile to taking it up at that time.
The question on taking up the resolutions was then taken by yeas and nays; and carried—Yeas 38—Nays 30—as follows:
YEAS.—Messrs. Allison, Archer, Bacon, Bailey, Bishop, Brown, Clay, Clapp, Coots, Davis, Dawson, Dickson, Elmhurst, Gray, Hanna, D. Heister, J. Heister, Holland, Holmes, Leib, Milledge, Mitchell, Moore, T. Morris, Newton, jun. Randolph, Smilie, Smith, (of N. Y.), Smith, (of Virg.) S. Smith, Stanard, Stanton, Taliaferro, jun. Thompson, A. Trigg, J. Trigg, Van Cortlandt, Varnum, and Williams.
NAYS.—Messrs. Bayard, Boude, Campbell, Cutler, Dana, Davenport, Davis, Euliss, Foster, Goddard, Griswold, Hastings, Helms, Henderson, Huger, Lowndes, L. R. Morris, Mott, Plater, Read, Shepard, Southard, Stanley, Stewart, Tallmage, Tenney, Tillinghast, Upham, Wadsworth, and Williams.
Mr. Griswold wished to know, whether on a preparatory question, the concurrence of 2-3ds were required?—as this would form a precedent.
Mr. Speaker decided that 2-3ds were not necessary.
The House then resolved itself into a committee of the whole.
Mr. S. Smith, in the Chair. As soon as the chairman had taken the chair, Mr. Bayard rose, and observed, that he believed the question determined was on going into committee on the state of the union.
The Chairman said, the decision was for going into a committee for the purpose of taking into consideration, an amendment to the constitution, "That in all future elections of President and Vice-President, the persons voted for shall be particularly designated by declaring which is voted for as President, and which as Vice-President."
Mr. Speaker said, that question had not been stated from the chair. The only question was on going into committee on the state of the union; and it was now competent to any member to offer any resolution on the state of the union; or the House may consider the subject noticed as committed.
Mr. Bayard moved for that proposition of amendment that related to a division of each state into districts.
The Chairman, having read it, said he had always considered it as the practice, that the committee must take up that resolution on which it had been moved to go into committee. He therefore, considered the other resolutions as before the committee.
Mr. Huger. I ask if the committee has not a right to take up which resolution it pleases. If they have, I hope the motion of the gentleman from Delaware (Mr. Bayard) will prevail.
Mr. Chairman. The question is already decided.
Mr. Bayard thought there was great justice in the argument of the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Davis) that the House was not in a state to make an amendment to the constitution. He could hardly believe that, had it been proposed to amend the constitution on an earlier day, it would have been done, without a word of explanation being uttered. He believed this was doing too much, and without the defect of the former system being pointed out. He believed, there was not a more important opinion than that the instrument from which we derive our power, and the nation its liberty, should be touched with a cautious hand. He believed gentlemen would see that this was not the time to touch it, and they will say, we will not agree to this amendment until the other, for disfranchising the states, is first agreed to.
He, therefore, moved that the committee should rise.
Mr. Bacon hoped the committee would not rise until other reasons were assigned, than he had heard. The House had just agreed to take up the resolutions, and it is now moved to recede from the determination of the House without any reason being assigned for the change. The question was important but not novel. He believed that every citizen called upon to give his vote had paid particular attention to, and had made up his mind upon it. This was the case with himself. He had long been of opinion that such an amendment was very important, and even necessary, and he should continue to think so until he heard satisfactory reasons in opposition assigned. He was disposed to listen with the greatest attention and candor to the arguments of gentlemen.
The gentleman from Delaware urged as a reason against taking up this amendment its great importance; and now he is for taking up another amendment infinitely more important.
Mr. Bacon concluded by saying that as this was a subject on which the welfare of the United States depended, in his opinion the house could not excuse itself from taking it up.
Mr. Mitchell said he had almost despaired of this subject being acted upon after the late decision of the house. He was, however, very glad to find the house now disposed to take it up. He was much surprised that the gentleman from Delaware wanted information, not only from his usual attention to constitutional questions, but from the part he took in the Presidential election. He believed the question to be very plain, and one which had been well considered by every citizen in the United States. Under the constitution electors are to vote for two persons, one of whom does not reside in the state of the electors; but it does not require a designation of the persons voted for. Wise and virtuous as were the members of the convention experience has shown that the mode therein adopted cannot be carried into operation; for the people do not elect a person for an elector who, they know, does not intend to vote for a particular person as President. Therefore practically the very thing is adopted intended by this amendment. If this proposition is now adopted by us, it will still have to be sanctioned by the other branch of the legislature, and afterwards by three-fourths of the states. For these reasons Dr. M. thought this amendment ought to be adopted. It ought to be adopted, because it had been maturely considered; because it had been recommended by several states, and because serious inconveniences had been, and still more serious inconveniences might be experienced under the present mode.
Mr. Dana said he was for the committee rising, as this was not a proper time to act on so important a subject. He knew that the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Bacon) had said his mind was up, though he was ready to hear any arguments against the amendment. He has told us that he guessed every member was ready to act; but as this is only a guess, others may guess as well as he. He also thought his friend from Delaware (Mr. Bayard) inconsistent; but the very remark of the gentleman from Massachusetts fortified the correctness of the observation made by his friend from Delaware, who had said one of the proposed amendments is important, the other is still more important; and thence the necessity of more time for deliberation.
If the subject of amending the constitution be taken up, a second question may arise; whether a Vice-President is wanted at all; whether that office was not created solely to influence the purposes of the present mode. He believed the journals of the convention would show that the office of Vice-President was not introduced till this mode was laid down. Other amendments may be found necessary. He was willing to consider that part of the constitution which related to the apportionment of representatives, and to determine whether the representatives should be in proportion to the whites or in proportion to the whites compounded with slaves. He believed also, when an amendment was proposed, it was proper to view all its parts, and see whether an amendment apparently necessary would not materially differ from other parts of the constitution equally necessary. For this examination there was not time.
Mr. Huger said he was willing to acknowledge that his bias was in favor of the amendment; but he did not like to be obliged at this late moment to vote on it, without having time to consider it himself, and without giving time to others to investigate it. Besides it was evident, that if the amendment for a discrimination was first adopted, the other amendment for districts may not be adopted; and in the opinion of some gentlemen it was important to adopt both. This measure is now forced upon us. In this sitting we are obliged to vote in the negative, though rather in favor of the amendment. But when this improperly forced upon us, we think it the safest course to vote against it.
Where is the necessity of this precipitation? There cannot be party motives in the measure; for the same legislature will meet the next session. In these circumstances, he thought it an act of cruelty to force those to vote who are not prepared. He said his mind was not made up, nor did he believe the minds of the community were. He could not say from his own personal knowledge what was the wishes of his constituents; though he was rather inclined to think they were for the amendment. He believed the design of the constitution in originating this business in these two houses of Congress, was to have it investigated in a body whose members came from every part of the union, and by having the debate published in every part of the union, to prepare the people correctly to judge. He, therefore, conceived it of immense importance that every amendment should be maturely investigated. He said, he looked round and scarcely saw a quorum. Are gentlemen prepared to offer arguments? He did not like to allude to party; but do not gentlemen know that those who agree with him have more than a third in this house when it is full. He did not know that that was now the case. In the last count we had only 68 votes; and yet with these numbers we are called upon to decide, at the end of the session, a constitutional question.
The question was then taken on the committee rising, and lost—Yeas 25.
The question was then taken on the resolution of amendment, on which there were Ayes 42—Nays 22.
The Chairman. The question is lost.
Mr. Varnum said he apprehended the committee were to vote by simple majorities; this is a preparatory step; and the house will finally decide by a vote of two-thirds.
Mr. Nicholson was clearly of this opinion, that the committee ought to decide in the usual way.
Mr. Griswold said he did not know how the gentleman could find the mode of deciding in committee but by that practised in the house.
Mr. Elmhurst thought no more than a simple majority was required. He therefore appealed from the decision of the chair. After some explanation, Mr. Elmhurst observed that as the house would have to decide upon the same point, he would withdraw his motion of appeal.
The committee rose, and reported their disagreement to the amendment.
two thirds of the members, the constitutional number, not concurring in it.
The question was carried, Ayes 42, for taking up the report.
The house immediately took up the report; when the
Speaker put the question on concurring with the report of the committee of the whole, in their disagreement to the amendment.
Mr. Huger moved to postpone the further consideration of the amendment to the third Monday in November.
Mr. Huger said he would not repeat the arguments he had before used. Of those against taking up the amendment at this time, there were, at least, the gentleman from Delaware and himself, who were likely to be in favor of it, if taken up at a proper time. He should, therefore, regret it by voting in the negative, it should be lost. He wished it to be understood, and particularly by his constituents, that he voted against it, not because he was really against the amendment; but from the consideration of the improper time at which it was urged. He concluded by calling for the Yeas and Nays.
Mr. Van Cortlandt said he was very sorry he could not oblige the gentleman (Mr. Huger) with the delay he solicited, and he was also very sorry that that gentleman could not oblige himself and his constituents at the same time. He regretted that it was so late in the session; but had not the subject been before the house for months, and before the people for years? The gentleman says he wants time—to repeat a hundred and a hundred times what the house had heard before. At this endless repetition Mr. Van Cortlandt was surprised. He said, he should in many cases have taken a part in debate, if other gentlemen had not expressed the same ideas which he entertained himself. He did not wish to say that other gentlemen had made long speeches for the purpose of appearing in the newspapers; though he must say the conduct of the gentleman from South Carolina looked like it. Mr. Van Cortlandt concluded by observing that it was their duty to do good, and if the adoption of this amendment would have that effect, it could never be too late to adopt it.
Mr. Huger said however favorable that gentleman may be to dumb legislation, he confessed he was inimical to it.
The question of postponement was then taken by Yeas and Nays, and lost—Yeas 28—Nays 44; as follows:
YEAS.—Messrs. Bayard, Boude, Campbell, Cutler, Dana, Davenport, Davis, Euliss, Foster, Goddard, Griswold, Hastings, Helms, Henderson, Huger, Lowndes, L. R. Morris, Mott, Plater, Read, Shepard, Southard, Stanley, Tallmage, Tenney, Tillinghast, Upham, Wadsworth, L. Williams—28.
NAYS.—Messrs. Allison, Archer, Bacon, Bailey, Bishop, Brown, Clay, Clapp, Coots, Davis, Dawson, Dickson, Elmhurst, Euliss, Fowler, Gray, Hanna, D. Heister, J. Heister, Holland, Holmes, Leib, Milledge, Mitchell, Moore, T. Morris, Newton, Nicholson, Randolph, Smilie, J. Smith, (of New-York) J. Smith, (of Virg.) S. Smith, Stanard, Stanton, Taliaferro, Thomas, Thompson, A. Trigg, J. Trigg, Van Cortlandt, Varnum, and Williams—44.
The question recurred, on concurring in the report of the committee in their disagreement to the amendment.
Mr. Bayard said he was sorry the subject was pressed upon them. It had not undergone in his mind a mature consideration. He considered his giving a vote of concurrence as operating simply a postponement till November. He had voted for the postponement, and he would vote for a concurrence. Next session the subject may be taken up, and maturely considered.
Mr. Nicholson enquired whether the question of concurrence required two thirds.
Mr. Speaker. This is the final question, and therefore requires two-thirds. All preparatory questions only require a majority.
Mr. Varnum asked whether the question would be final. It appeared to him that after this is decided, there will be another question on agreeing to the resolution itself.
The question was taken, by yeas and nays, on agreeing to the report, and lost—Ayes 24—Nays 48—two thirds voting against concurrence; as follows:
YEAS.—Messrs. Bayard, Boude, Campbell, Cutler, Dana, Davenport, Foster, Goddard, Griswold, Hastings, Henderson, Huger, Lowndes, L. R. Morris, Plater, Read, Shepard, Stanley, Tall-

mage, Tenney, Tilling, B. Upham, Wadsworth, and Williams. NAYS.—Messrs. Attes, Archer, Bacon, Baily, Bishop, Brown, Clay, Clapton, Condit, Cuts, Davis, Dawson, Dickson, Elmendorf, Eustis, Fowler, Gray, Hanna, D. Heister, J. Heister, Helms, Holland, Holmes, Leib, Milledge, Mitchell, Moore, Morris, Mott, New- ton, Nicholson, Randolph, Smilie, Smith (of N. Y.), Smith (of Virg.) S. Smith, Southard, Stanford, Stanton, junr. Taliaferro, junr. Thomas, Thompson, A. Trigg, J. Trigg, Van Cortlandt, Van Neis, Varnum, and L. Williams.
Mr. Huger said he would repeat what he had said before; viz. that he did not vote against the amendment, because he was opposed to it; but because he was decidedly opposed to the time in which it was proposed.
The question was then taken, by yeas and nays, on agreeing to the main resolution of amendment, and carried by two-thirds, viz.—Yeas 49—Nays 24; as follows:
NAYS.—Messrs. Allison, Archer, Bacon, Baily, Bishop, Brown, Clay, Clapton, Condit, Cuts, Davis, Dawson, Dickson, Elmendorf, Eustis, Fowler, Gray, Hanna, D. Heister, J. Heister, Helms, Holland, Holmes, Leib, Milledge, Mitchell, Moore, T. Morris, Mott, New, New- ton, Nicholson, Randolph, Smilie, J. Smith (New-York) J. Smith (Virg.) S. Smith, Southard, Stanford, Stanton, Taliaferro, Thomas, Thompson, A. Trigg, J. Trigg, Van Cortlandt, Van Neis, Varnum, L. Williams.—49.
NAYS.—Messrs. Bayard, Boude, Campbell, Cutler, Davenport, Eustis, Goddard, Guilwold, Haimings, Henderson, Huger, Lowndes, L. R. Morris, Pieter, Read, Shepard, Stanley, Talmaige, Ten- ney, Tillinghast, Upham, Wadsworth, L. Williams.—24.
Mr. Huger moved the postponement of the third reading of the resolution till Monday—lost—Yeas 25.
Resolved that it be read a third time to day.
The engrossed resolution was after- wards brought in and read a third time, when the question was taken on it by yeas and nays, and carried—Yeas 47—Nays 14; as follows:
YEAS.—Messrs. Archer, Bacon, Bai- ley, Bishop, Brent, Brown, Clay, Clap- ton, Condit, Cuts, Davis, Dawson, Dick- son, Elmendorf, Eustis, Fowler, Gray, Hanna, D. Heister, J.

BULL, of the nomination of the Legate. PIUS, Bishop, servant of the servant of GOD:
To our dear son, John Baptiste Ca- prara, priest, cardinal of the holy Roman church, of the title of St. Onuphrius, arch-bishop, bishop of Jeh, our legate a-latere, and of the holy see, near but very dear son in Jesus Christ, Napoleon Bon- aparte, First Consul of the French Republic.
The right hand of the Most High which has in all times gloriously ma- nifested his great power, has just re- newed in our days its wonders.— Amidst the storms and commotions which of late have desolated France, a very great majority of that nation have always remained strongly at- tached to the religion they received from their fathers, and which they imbibed with the milk of the breast. Jealous of treading in the same path with their forefathers, who have rendered so much service to the church, they have acquired an im- mortal glory by what they have done for the preservation of religion; therefore, have we never ceased, nor shall we ever cease to return thanks in all humility to the merciful God who has been pleased amidst the anx- ieties and troubles attached, more particularly at these present times, to the supreme pontificate, with which he has intrusted us by a secret dispensation, to cause a ray of conso- lation to shine before our eyes, by offering as the means of restoring to the catholic, in that country, the free exercise of its ministry; and to cause the ancient purity of its worship to revive there.
The fraternal love which we have always borne for the French nation, and our earnest wish of seeing this work, so happily begun, conducted by us, with the help of GOD, to a happy issue, fill us with a lively im- patience, and oblige us to seek all possible means of performing so great a good, on which depends the salva- tion of so many souls, whom our Lord Jesus Christ has voluntarily re- deemed at the expence of his blood.
Therefore, as it appeared to us, as well as to the French government, very important, for the accomplish- ment of our intentions, to establish in our name and in that of the apos- tolic see, a legate who by his resi- dence in France will be enabled to provide for the spiritual wants of the faithful and accelerate the happy con- sequences to be expected from the convention entered into between us and the French republic, after hear- ing our venerable brothers, the Car- dinals of the holy Roman church, all of whom we thought proper to con- vey, to deliberate on a subject of so great importance: with their unani- mous advice and consent we have made choice of you, our dear son, to confide to your faith, your religion and your prudence a mission of such magnitude, persuaded you will sur- pass our wishes and expectations by the virtue and wisdom which distinguish you, and especially by that attach- ment and zeal which you have never ceased to demonstrate for the interest of the catholic church in every other employment entrusted to you by the holy see.
We, therefore, choose you by vir- tue of these present letters: we es- tablish and depute you with the title of Legate of the Apostolic See near the First Consul of the French Re- public and the French People; com-
manding you, in the name of your love to God, your respect for us and the holy see, and of your devotion for the interest of religion, to accept this trust with joy; to acquit yourself of it by the help of God, with fide- lity and zeal, as long as circum- stances may make it appear to us ne- cessary.

LITERARY CRITICISM. [From the Aurora.]
A dissertation, on the freedom of Navi- gation and maritime commerce, adapted more particularly to the United States—by William Barton, A. M. member of the American Philoso- phical Society, and of the Royal Eco- nomical Society of Valencia, in Spain. Philadelphia: Conrad and Co.—1802.
The study of that branch of Jurispru- dence which is known by the name of public law, has long been considered as one of the most important objects, to which the mind of man can be applied. The writings of Cicero, and other emi- nent authors, shew us in what esteem this science was held among the enlight- ened Romans. In several parts of mo- dern Europe, particularly in Germany and Italy, professorships are establish- ed for the exclusive purpose of instruct- ing youth in the law of nations; and the pre- cious team with learned disquisitions and elaborate treatises on the vast and fruit- ful topic.—In England, where the num- ber of civilians is small, and little encour- aged in comparison to those who pro- fess or practice the more fashionable and more lucrative common law, very little has been written on the subject of gene- ral jurisprudence. Vattel, a Swiss—Grotius, a Dutchman—and Puffendorf, a German, are held the oracles of British justice, who can boast of no national work of eminence on the Jus Gentium ; for we cannot give that name to the still-born production of professor Rutherford, which never has gone through more than one edition in Great Britain, * and tho' published above forty years since, has never had the honor of a translation into any of the European languages—not even into that of the Germans, who translate every thing.—Accustomed to derive our stock of jurisprudent knowledge, from British sources we were not a little aston- ished when we began to act the part of an independent nation to find how little light was to be drawn from them, on the subject of general law.—We had not even the dangerous resource of recurring to the opinions of their admiralty judges; for the proceedings of those Courts were kept as secret as the mysteries of the Bona Dea ; and no Robinson or Marriot had yet ventured or condescended to publish them; we had then recourse to foreign writers; but as none had been translated into our vernacular tongue, but such as favoured the principles or pretensions of Great Britain, and all others had been carefully kept out of view by the British policy, we were obliged to draw our information from partial sources. The excellent works of Hubner, Bufe, Galiani, Lampredi, De Stech, and many others, were as much unknown in this country, as the writings of Con- fucius; and indeed, to this moment, are in the hands of but a very few persons.
Thus, shut out from almost every source of jurisprudent knowledge which was not mediately or immediately British, accustomed to venerate the wis- dom of British laws, and the learning and integrity of those who dispensed them; it is not to be wondered at, if British max- ims and British opinions had taken deep root in the minds of the peo- ple of this country. To this simple and natural cause, is, in a great mea- sure, to be attributed, the variety of sentiment that has prevailed among us, on the subject of the commercial rights of neutral nations.—Considering that America, viewed either as an agricultu- ral or as a commercial nation, is from its geographical position, from the nature of its productions and commerce, from its thin and scattered population, and from a variety of other equally powerful causes, essentially a neutral state, without any possible object to intermeddle in the quarrels of the nations of Europe; and with every possible inducement to avoid being involved in them, a superficial observer would naturally conclude that every American would greedily imbibe and adhere to doctrines and principles, which are calculated to promote the com- merce of neutrals to its highest degree of prosperity, and to shelter it from the molestations of belligerent powers. And yet we have seen respectable men and excellent patriots, among us, who have maintained and strenuously supported doctrines of an altogether opposite nature. To what, then, are we to attribute such a strange inconsistency, but to the force of habit and prejudice, to the strength of opinions, sucked, as it were, with the mother's milk, and which all powerful interest itself is not sufficient to subdue? To dissipate such prejudices, to create a public opinion more cons- onant to the real permanent interests of our nation, two different modes present themselves; the one is to translate into our language the works of the best for- eign writers on the law of nations, who are favourable to the modern principles of neutral rights, which has already been attempted by the publication of the works of professor Martens and Mr. Schlegel; the other in our opinion, by far the most eligible, is to encourage the literati of our own country to write origi- nal works on this interesting subject,—thus at the same time promoting our national interests and extending our lite- rary fame.
The last of these two objects Mr. Barton certainly had in view, in writing and publishing his Dissertation on the freedom of Navigation & maritime Com- merce ; and though his modesty would not permit him to look forward to the second, we are happy, however, to think that he has in a great degree succeeded in both—when we consider that this work has been written, as the author himself informs us, in an inland town, at a distance from the public libraries, and from those literary communications which a residence in one of our capital cities would have afforded him; we are astonished to find, that, with such scanty materials, he has been able nevertheless to present us such a valuable performance. To us, indeed, it is valuable, because it contains a vast collection of knowledge derived from European and American sources, which had never yet been bro't together in one point of view; to the neutral nations of Europe, it will be extremely interesting from the insight which it will give them into the principles and policy of the system of neutrality which the government of the United States pursued during the late war.
The object of Mr. Barton's work is to defend the rights of neutrals to carry enemies goods; and to be free from search and capture except when carrying articles of contraband, properly so called; or, in other words, the principles for which the neutral nations of Europe formed themselves into an armed con- federacy, in 1780 and 1800. He under- takes to support those principles, first, on the ground of positive law; and, next, on the principles of the eternal law of reason and nature. Keeping in view this grand division of the subject, he has divided his dissertation into five sections: In the first, his object is to prove, that the principle of "free ships—free goods," is conformable to the law of nations, as understood & generally acted upon, prior to the armed neutrality of 1780; in the second, that, admitting that the law might have been different prior to that period, yet that the treaty of armed neutrality, acceded to by all the maritime powers of Europe, except Portugal and Great-Bri- tain, is even tacitly acquiesced in by the latter, formed a new maritime code which became obligatory on the whole civilized world.—The third section contains an inquiry into the rights of neutrals, as de- duced from the nature of war.—In the fourth he examines, on the same prin- ciples, the nature of contraband and the right of search.—The fifth and last sec- tion consists of miscellaneous observations and reflections arising out of the subject, and which could not be well introduced into the main body of the work without interrupting the chain of the author's arguments.—Of the same nature is an ad- ditional chapter (entitled Supplementary observations ) which is very properly placed at the end of the book, and which, as well as an excellent introduction at the beginning contains a variety of in- teresting matter, also connected with the principal subject.—The appendix contains the treaty of armed neutrality of 1780, with the most important state pa- pers relating to it, the British proclama- tions against neutrals during the late war, and the celebrated letter of Mr. Jef- ferson to Mr. Pinckney, of the 7th of Sep- tember, 1793.
We have neither room nor leisure to enter into an examination of the details of Mr. Barton's performance, but must refer the reader to the work itself, from which he will derive both information and pleasure. It appears to us that he handles his subject throughout, with ex- tensity and skill, and that he has well suc- ceeded in proving the several positions which he has assumed. To the authority of a few theoretic writers, upon which the British champions, seem almost en- tirely to rely—Mr. Barton opposes the constant protestations of neutral against the claims of belligerent nations; the numerous treaties, as well antecedent as subsequent to the armed neutrality of 1780, in which Britain herself admits and confederates neutral principles; and, lastly, that famous confederation itself, which he considers as evidence of the opinion of a great majority of statesmen of Europe, and which he thinks ought to have more weight than the theories of speculative men, who seldom agree either with themselves or with each other.
Mr. Barton very ingeniously attempts to prove [page 93] that the league of the Hanse-Towns, at the beginning of the 17th century, had for its object the maintenance of the liberty of maritime commerce, as at present understood by neutral nations.—However this may be, it is a curious fact, which has escaped Mr. Barton, that the most ancient treaty extant on record, in which the rights of neutrality have been stipulated for, is one which was concluded in the year 1351, between Edward I. of England and the Spanish Hanse Towns.—In this treaty, the principle of free ships make free goods , is explicitly recognized. [See Kymner's Foedera .]
A considerable part of Mr. Barton's work is dedicated to fri sures upon the conduct of the American administration, during the late war.—He particularly animadverts upon Mr. Jay's treaty, and on the impolitic dereliction of neutral principles, which was the consequence of that compact.—He justifies Mr. Jef-

person with respect to the imputation that has been laid to his charge, of having taken the lead in that measure by his letters to Mr. Genet and Mr. G. Morris.
As a true Pennsylvania philosopher, Mr. Barton bears his testimony in the strongest manner against the doctrines of war and slavery. He argues the subject in a handsome and conclusive manner. He is particularly severe upon the pedant Rutledge, who notwithstanding his being a professor of Christianity, has not blushed to advocate slavery, tho' opposed to the principles of our religion. After this, triumphantly exclaims Mr. Barton, what credit is to be given upon other points to the theoretic opinion of such writers, when it must be confessed that they are grossly mistaken in the most essential ones?
Upon the whole, we think that this work does credit to the author and to his country, and as the first American production on an interesting branch of general law, we cannot too strongly recommend it to the attention of American readers.
* A second edition has been vamped up, by the mere addition of a new title page.
† The treatise of professor Martens, on the law of nations, was translated here, in 1795, by William Cobbett, and published by Mr. Bradford. The same author's work on the law of captures and recaptures has not yet been translated. Neither of these has appeared in the British dominions. Schlegel's dissertation has indeed been published there, but at the expence of the Danish government.
From the BALTIMORE TELEGRAPH.
It has ever appeared to me important to the welfare of any country, that the benefits which accrue to society from the studies and labors of the inventor, should be duly appreciated. By the industry of the husbandman the corn and the wool are obtained; but neither the one could be converted into bread, nor the other into clothing, had not the talents of the inventor been successfully employed in producing mills, wheels, looms, and all that variety of mechanism which transforms the raw material into the manufactured article, and fits it for the use of man. When I compare the present state of civilized society with what it must have been without the aid of the inventor, I rank him as a being sent to bless the human race.
When among the necessaries or conveniences, the comforts or the luxuries of life, I seek that article for which I am not more or less indebted to the inventor, I am wearied in the search, without finding the object; for even the language of the williams would be foiled by the agility of the deer, if inventive talents had not furnished him with the bow and the arrow, to lude those animals, which, destitute of invention, become the easy prey of man who possesses it. Thus is every state of human existence benefitted by the inventor; but particularly that state in which the population bears small proportion to the extent of territory. This is the present state of America; her unappropriated acres wait not the progress of population only, but the advancement of those arts which by the introduction of machinery, shall reduce manual labor, and discharge a superfluous of hands, in all cases where they can be spared, for the cultivation of the soil. Hence every improvement in mechanism, which saves labor, may be considered as indirect means
To clear the waste, where now the thistle grows, And make the desert blossom as the rose."
I ever contemplate this subject with a sensation of regret at the unpatronized situation of American inventors, and of astonishment at their perseverance in many instances, in despite of difficulties innumerable, which attend their pursuits; nor is it matter of surprise that they frequently exchange their own country, where their exertions, though of inestimable value, are unsupported, for a foreign shore, where those exertions, tho' less serviceable, meet full patronage.
I was led to the foregoing remarks, on seeing some experiments made with Mr. Dearborn's Patent Balance. It appeared by those experiments that the beam was as correct as a scale beam, and that the labor of using it is not more than one third part of the labor of using scales and weight in the common way. If on full experiment these circumstances are found to attend this new mode of weighing, the invention must be of inestimable advantage to the public, as the saving of so great a portion of labor in the multitude of draughts which are daily weighed throughout this continent, must amount to a sum worthy the consideration of every one who styles himself
AN AMERICAN.
WASHINGTON CITY.
MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1802.
On Thursday, ALBERT GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treasury, arrived here.
We this day close our report of the debates of the federal legislature. It has been our effort, in which we trust we have not been unsuccessful, to represent with fidelity the ideas expressed in debate. During the late session the duty has been unusually arduous, as well from the magnitude of the points discussed; as from the unprecedented mass of debate.
[From the Albany Register.]
THE LATE ELECTION.
IT is our intention as soon as the votes for members of congress and state senators, taken at the late election in this state, are officially canvassed, to publish a statement of them in detail. In the mean time, it is our duty to correct the misstatements which have gone abroad, some of which there is too much reason, for the credit of their authors, to believe, have been wilfully made, while others there can be no doubt have proceeded from erroneous impressions. Of the latter description, is an incorrect estimate in the National Intelligencer of the 19th inst. wherein the Editor evidently by mistaking a part for the whole, in relation to three of our congressional districts, has stated the republican majorities in two of them considerably below their true amount; and in the third has mistaken the majority obtained by the republican candidate, (Mr. Bloodgood) in one county, for the district majority, which was federal, and in favour of Mr. Griswold. The federalists have boasted much of the revival of their principles in this state, as manifested by the late election! Let us see upon what grounds they have indulged this pleasing delusion.
In the first place, of seventeen members of congress, eleven are republicans, as will be seen by the following correct list of the successful candidates of each party, and estimates of the majorities they severally obtained.
Table with 3 columns: Districts, Republicans, Majorities. Lists candidates like John Smith, Samuel L. Mitchell, Philip Van Courtlandt, Andrew McCord, Isaac Bloom, Beriah Palmer, David Thomas, Thomas Sammons, Erastus Root, John Patterson, Oliver Phelps, and their respective majorities.
Table with 3 columns: Districts, Federalists, Majorities. Lists candidates like Joshua Sands, Conrad E. Elmendorf, Henry W. Livingston, Killian K. Van Rensselaer, George Tibbets, Eaylor Griswold, and their respective majorities.
* NOTE.—In the 1st and 5 District, there was no opposition to the republican candidates: In the 5th District, Mr. McCord was opposed by Gen. Hattorn, also a Republican; who had 333 votes. The 7th District has a republican majority of electors, but owing to a division among the Republicans in a part of the District, Mr. Elmendorf succeeded. In the 17th District, besides the votes given for the Federal candidate (Mr. Howell,) Wm. Stewart, a republican, had 730 votes.
In the second place, eight senators were chosen at the late election, who are all Republicans, viz. Southern District—John Schenck. Middle District—Abraham Adairance, Solomon Sutherland. Western District—Jacob Snell, Matthias B. Tallmadge, Joseph Annis, George Tiffany, Asa Danforth.
The election of these gentlemen who are chosen for four years, gives the Republicans a majority of eight in the senate.
In the third place, let the reader determine, whether the result of the election for Members of Assembly, as exhibited below, and from which it appears that the Republican majority in that body has increased, affords ground for federal exultation! We can vouch for its accuracy, excepting as to one or two members at the farthest.
Table with 3 columns: Counties, Federalists, Republicans. Lists counties like New-York, Richmond, Suffolk, Queens, and their respective counts.
Table with 3 columns: Counties, Federalists, Republicans. Lists counties like Kings, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Ulster, Dutches, Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Rensselaer, Albany, Washington, Clinton, Essex, Saratoga, Schenectady, Montgomery, Herkimer, Onondaga, Olego, Chenango, Tioga, Cayuga, Ontario & Genesee, Seneca, Oneida & St. Lawrence, with counts.
Table with 3 columns: Counties, Federal Ticket, Republican Ticket. Lists counts for Federal and Republican tickets across various counties.
Table with 3 columns: Districts, Federalists, Republicans. Lists counts for federal and republican tickets in various districts.
The Federal candidate (Mr. Elmendorf) for member of Congress in the county Greene, it has been supposed, and even stated in some papers, was elected—and it is true that he had a majority of votes; but from an omission in the return by the inspectors of the poll in the town of Coxsie, it is doubtful whether he will be elected. The whole of the federal votes (120) from that town, for member of Congress, having been returned for "Conrad Elmendorf," omitting his second name, Edmund. Since the discovery of this, however, the inspectors have certified that their return were erroneous; that the votes were given for "Conrad Edmund Elmendorf," and ought to have been returned; but this certificate was not made until after the expiration of the time limited by law for the return of the votes to the Clerk's office. The result, therefore, must depend on a decision of the canvassers; or a committee of privileges and elections in Congress.
Catskill paper. NEW-YORK, June 2. The ship Brutus, Bunker, came up last evening in 30 days from Dublin. We have received Dublin papers by her to the 27th of April, inclusive. They contain no news of consequence except what is detailed in the preceding page.
Captain Gemmell, of the Schooner Hector from Guadalupe, informs us, that on the 5th May, news arrived at the Government House of a fleet being off the harbour, when the town was cleared, and every preparation made to receive the division destined for Point Petre. The day following four frigates, a cutter, and four transports, entered the harbour, and came to anchor. General Pelage, prepared to receive General Richemont with military parade, and on his landing delivered up possession of the place without any disturbance, the blacks laying down their arms. The second in command, a mulatto, and the commandant La Place, in the mean while, retreated with some troops to Boffaterre, where they made a stand against the French. May 12th, at midnight saw four plantations and the town
of Boffaterre on fire, during a heavy discharge of cannon and small arms from the fort, which continued with little intermission until the falling of the Hector, no vessels being permitted to enter. General Pelage was sent on board one of the frigates on the second day after their arrival. Captain Gemmell further informs that the name of Port de la Liberte, is changed to that of Point Petre; and that, as it respected American and neutral vessels, notice had been given that the conduct of the government would be similar to that usually adopted before the revolution.
Yesterday, agreeably to public notice, was held the first

George Beall against Eleanor Hopkins, John Hopkins, and Barbara his wife, Alexander Hopkins and Roxanna his wife, Thomas Hopkins and James Hopkins.
IN CHANCERY, May 15, 1802.
THE object of the bill in this case is to obtain a decree to record a deed executed on the twenty-second day of January in the year eighteen hundred and one by the defendants, for conveying unto the complainant part of a tract of land called and known by the name of "I was not thinking of it," containing one hundred and seventy-one and an half acres of land, more or less.—Also that tract of land called "Hopkin's Choice" containing sixty-three acres of land, more or less.—And one other tract of land called "Evans's Look Out," containing twenty acres of land, more or less.—All which said land is lying and being in Montgomery county, state of Maryland. The bill states that the abovenamed defendants reside in the county of Washington, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and is to the reach of the process of this court.
It is thereupon adjudged and ordered, That the complainant, by causing a copy of this order to be inserted in the National Intelligencer once in each of three successive weeks before the last day of June next, give notice of this, his application, and of the substance and object of his bill, that the said defendants or any other person who may conceive himself interested, may be warned to appear here in person or by solicitor, on or before the first Tuesday of October next, to show cause (if any they have) wherefore a decree should not pass as prayed.

FOR SALE.
THE Subscriber offers at private sale, those adjoining and highly improved lots in the town of Camden, on which he now lives, having a cast front of 128 feet on Broad-street, & a west of the same extent on Church-street, a north front of 198 feet on the central square of said town, and being 328 feet deep, from Broad to Church-street.
On the premises at the corner of Broad-street and the square, is a large commodious and well finished dwelling house, measuring 25 feet by 50, two stories high, consisting of six rooms, apartments in the garret, a piazza, and a cellar under the whole building.—Also a brick house fronting 30 by 32 feet on Broad street, with a tiled roof; having on the first floor a dry goods store, and one for groceries, &c. communicating with each other, also a counting house with a fire place; on the second floor two rooms, one of which is used for the storage of dry goods, and the other as a chamber for clerks. This building, taking into view its safety from accident by fire, with the convenience of its plan, for mercantile business, is superior to any in this place.—Also a back store of 18 by 28 feet, and a salt house of 26 by 14 feet, both adjacent to the brick store before described.—Also a convenient kitchen and wash-house with a fire place in each, and lodging room for servants, a brick oven, a snook house, poultry house, carriage house and stable, a pump with good water in the yard, and a large garden in excellent order, with a number of choice fruit trees. The front on Broad street handsomely enclosed with a brick wall, and the whole of the premises on the other sides with a good plank fence; having part thereof separately enclosed as a grass plot for horses, &c. with every other accommodation suitable for a large and genteel family, and for carrying on the mercantile business extensively; the stand being acknowledged equal to any in the place.
Situated as the town of Camden is, on a fine navigable river communicating with Charleston by the Santee Canal, as well as by its natural channel with a trade for several late years, has increased with a rapidity almost unequalled, renders it unnecessary to comment on the advantages so obvious to a purchaser of the above described property, who intends to advance his fortune in the commercial line.
This valuable property is only offered for sale on account of the subscriber's intention to decline the mercantile business which he has carried on for several years past.
Terms will be one fourth of the purchase money in hand and the remaining three fourths in three equal annual payments, with a mortgage on the premises, as security for the three latter payments, and interest from the date.—For further particulars, and for a view of the premises, apply to the subscriber in Camden.

WHEREAS several trespasses have lately been committed upon my land formerly called Elton Head Manor, now denominated Charles's Gift, by persons fowling, fishing and hunting, greatly to my prejudice, this is therefore to caution and warn all persons from entering upon my said plantation for the purposes aforesaid, as I am determined rigidly to enforce the laws of the country against any and every person infringing this prohibition.
NICHOLAS SEWALL. St. Marys county, April 1. UG8
John Weems against John Weems jun. Sarah Weems, Wilhelmina Cannt, Henry Gant, Philip Barton Key, and Charles Lowndes.
IN CHANCERY, May 12, 1802.
THE object of the bill filed in this cause is to obtain partial relief against a bond, executed by the complainant to the said John Weems jun. for 2500. and a bond to Philip Barton Key for 500. It states, that the said bonds were executed by the complainant, to secure a supposed balance to Amelia Weems, one of his father's representative, due from him, as executor to his father, that the said balance was not justly due from him, because since the decree of this court, directing him to pay money on account of which the said bonds were given, the complainant, as executor aforesaid, had had a decree against him at the suit of Daniel Kent, for the sum of 1395 1 8 3 2 and that several other suits have been instituted against him as executor.
It states likewise, that the said balance was not due from him, because he was entitled to a contribution from the said Amelia, for money paid by him on a compromise made of a suit brought against him by William Loch Chew, for the recovery of a tract of land called Loch Eden, which suit his father, by his last will had directed to be defended to the last resort, at the expense of his estate. It is further stated that some of the defendants reside out of the state.
It is, on the complainant's motion, therefore ordered, That he cause a copy of this order to be inserted, at least once in each of three successive weeks in the National Intelligencer, before the 12th day of June next, to the intent, that the non resident defendants may have notice of the complainant's application to this court, and of the substance and object of his bill, and may be warned to appear here on or before the second Wednesday in October next, to show cause wherefore a decree should not pass as prayed.
