No. IV.
A Refutation of the charge against the present administration that their views and measures are hostile to the Eastern States.
New-England feels a peculiar interest in the preservation of PUBLIC CREDIT. To her honor be it spoken—Public, equally with private credit, is an inestimable jewel to its possessor. It is no less the interest of governments than of individuals to be just to all men. The obligations of justice are indeed, if possible, more sacred in their application to the former than the latter; from the more extended injuries of a violation in the one case than in the other. Besides, an honest government, which force can compel to do nothing, will feel its honor interested in complying punctiliously with all its engagements. The power to do wrong with impunity will not impair the disposition to do right.
From the correctness of these general principles, it is honorable in New-England to have embraced them and aided in carrying them into effect. Beside the influence of those principles in the New-England states, others of great importance have been superadded. Of the public debt, which grew out of the late war, the New-England states possessed more than their share, arising, in a great measure, from their commercial character: while the southern states held a part much below their proportion. Strong considerations of interest were therefore added to the obligations of justice, to render public credit sacred in the Eastern states. It is not, therefore, surprising that under the united influence of justice and interest, those states have always strenuously urged a punctilious compliance with public engagements.
On the other hand, while the obligations of justice were equally binding upon all parts of the union, just in proportion to the superior interest of New-England that the revolutionary debts should be paid, was it the interest of the southern states to evade the payment, as they could not fail to lose by it as much as the eastern states gained.
If then it was honorable in New-England, under the united influence of justice and interest, to be the friend of public credit, how much more honorable was it in the Southern States, whose immediate interest was directly opposed to theirs, also to be its advocate? No consideration, but a regard for the union, a sacred respect for justice, a superiority to local consideration, could have made them so.
But the friendship of the leading southern characters, and of those who administered the government, to public credit is perpetually questioned, and it is affirmed that they would, if attainable, spunge the whole debt.
If there be honesty in the human heart this is the grossest libel on them. Hear their own declarations.
Mr. Jefferson in his inaugural speech expressly declares "the honest payment of our debts, and sacred preservation of the public faith to be among the essential principles of our government, those which ought to shape its administration."
Further:—The appointment of Mr. Gallatin to superintend the financial department, whatever the slander of faction has propagated to the contrary, is an unequivocal evidence of his sincere friendship to public credit and the faithful payment of the national debt.
The early sentiments of Mr. Gallatin on this point are indispensible. Fortunately their proof rests upon declarations too explicit and precious for ingenuity to distort. In a work published under his name in the year 1796, he says:
"Whatever difference of opinion may heretofore have existed on the propriety of paying those who had purchased the debt so much under its value it now exists no more, it has ceased with the cause; for all the present owners have, or may be supposed to have purchased the debt at the market price, which, since it has been funded, has been obtained for it. The solemn obligations, superadded by the present government to those contracted before, never can be set aside without the most flagrant and pernicious breach of public faith and national morality."
Further: Mr. Madison, a southerner, a Virginian, appointed Secretary of State by Mr. Jefferson, and known always to have been among his most confidential advisers, has placed on record the sentiments he entertained on this subject at a very early period. In the
year 1783, an address was presented by Congress to the several states calling upon them to make provision for the national exigencies. This address was drawn up by a committee consisting of Mr. Madison, Mr. Hamilton, and Mr. Fitzsimons.
After stating the plan proposed to the states, it proceeds:
"The plan, thus communicated and explained by Congress, must now receive its fate from their constituents. All the objects comprised in it are conceived to be of great importance to the happiness of this confederated republic; are necessary to render the fruits of the revolution, a full reward for the blood, the toils, the cares and the calamities which have purchased it. But the object, of which the necessity will be peculiarly felt, and which it is peculiarly the duty of Congress to inculcate, is the provision recommended for the national debt. Although this debt is greater than could have been wished, it is still less on the whole than could have been expected; and when referred to the cause in which it has been incurred, and compared with the burdens which wars of ambition and of vain glory have entailed on other nations, ought to be borne not only with cheerfulness, but with pride. But the magnitude of the debt makes no part of the question. It is sufficient that the debt has been fairly contracted, and that justice and good faith demand that it should be fully discharged. Congress had no option but between different modes of discharging it. The same option is the only one that can exist with the states. The mode which has, after long and elaborate discussion, been preferred, is we are persuaded, the least objectionable of any that would have been equal to the purpose. Under this persuasion, we call upon the justice and plighted faith of the several states to give it its proper effect, to reflect on the consequences of rejecting it, and to remember that Congress will not be answerable for them."
"If other motives than that of justice could be requisite on this occasion, no nation could ever feel stronger; for to whom are the debts to be paid?"
"To an ALLY, in the first place, who to the execution of his arms in support of our cause, has added the succours of his treasure; who, to its important loans, has added liberal donations; and whose loans themselves carry the impression of his magnanimity and friendship. For more exact information on this point we refer to paper No. 5."
"To individuals in a foreign country, in the next place, who were the first to give so precious a token of their confidence in our justice, and of their friendship for our cause, and who are members of a republic which was second in espousing our rank among nations. For the claims and expectations of this class of creditors, we refer to paper No. 6."
"Another class of creditors is, that illustrious and patriotic band of fellow citizens, whose blood and whose bravery have defended the liberties of their country, who have patiently borne, among other distresses, the privation of their stipends, whilst the distresses of their country disabled it from bestowing them; and who, even now, ask no more than such a portion of their dues as will enable them to retire from the field of victory and glory into the bosom of peace and private citizenship, and for such effectual security for the residue of their claims, as their country is now unquestionably able to provide. For a full view of their sentiments and wishes on this subject, we transmit the paper No. 7; and as a fresh and lively instance of their superiority to every species of seduction from the paths of virtue and of honor, we add the paper No. 8."
"The remaining class of creditors is composed partly of such of our fellow citizens as originally lent to the public the use of their funds, or have since manifested most confidence in their country, by receiving transfers from the lenders and partly of those whose prosperity has been either advanced or advanced for the public service. To discriminate the merits of these several descriptions of creditors, would be a task equally unnecessary and invidious. If the voice of humanity plead more loudly in favor of some than of others, the voice of policy, no less than of justice, pleads in favor of all. A wise nation will never permit those who relieve the wants of their country, or who rely most on its faith, its firmness and its resources, when either of them is distressed, to suffer by the event."
"Let it be remembered finally, that it has ever been the pride and boast of America, that the rights for which she contended, were the rights of human nature. By the blessing of the author of these rights, on the means exerted for their defence, they have prevailed against all opposition and form the basis of thirteen independent states. No instance has heretofore occurred, nor can any instance be expected hereafter to occur, in which the unadulterated forms of republican government can pretend to so fair an opportunity of justifying themselves by their fruits. In this view the citizens of the United States are responsible for the greatest trust ever confided to a political society. If justice, good faith, honor, gratitude and all the other qualities which ennoble the character of a nation, and fulfil the ends of government, be the fruits of our establishment, the cause of liberty will acquire a dignity and lustre which it has never yet enjoyed; and an example will be set which cannot but have the most favorable influence on the rights of mankind. If on the other side, our government should be unfortunately blotted with the reverse of these cardinal and essential virtues, the great cause which we have engaged to vindicate, will be dishonored and betrayed; the last and fairest experiment in favor of the rights of human nature will be turned against them, and their patrons and friends exposed to be insulted and silenced by the votaries of tyranny and usurpation."
It is recommended that there be a copy
Notwithstanding, however, these unequivocal expressions of sentiment, there are those who still question the regard of the administration to public credit, and who still affect to doubt its security under their auspices. They tell us that the professions of political men are hollow, and are often only covers to the secret machinations at the bottom of their hearts. Grant it. The annals not only of the world, but likewise of this region of it, furnish abundant proof of the wisdom of this suspicion. Allow, then, that these professions may have been made to deceive the people of America. Repose no confidence in them. Still it will be allowed that the invectives of party malice are entitled to as little credit. Both are professions, and the one may be as hollow and false as the other.
But the administration stand now upon firmer ground than that of profession. Their character is illustrated by their actions: They cannot deceive. And what do they prove? That, with power to destroy public credit, they have preferred it inviolate; and with power to retard the payment of the public debt, they have accelerated its redemption with unprecedented rapidity. Is more proof required of the honesty of our motives than the full and faithful performance of our promises, when we might have violated them with impunity? Can more be given? More cannot be given or required.
The conduct then of the southern states on this interesting subject is an unequivocal evidence of their devotion to principle, and regard to the interests of all America, however opposed to their own local views; and ought to, as it is trusted it ultimately will, inspire the people of New-England with sentiments of respect and affection.

Our readers have to day the Address of JUDGE Davis to the people of Kentucky. Many of the opinions he avows may be considered as evidences of that INDEPENDENCE in a Judge, which has been lately so much extolled, and which, if we do not err, some times means nothing else than an entire irresponsibility of a public functionary to all practicable control. The great POLITENESS with which the JUDGE ascribes motives to others is naturally calculated to excite similar politeness in ascribing motives to him. Under the influence of such politeness, a man might say, "I do not believe that Judge Davis in his address had so much at heart the good of his country as his own personal views. I do believe that in the elevated ideas he seems to cherish of his own importance, he thought he could at one blow inflict a mortal wound upon both republicanism and federalism, and all their feeble supporters, and stand himself the mighty Atlas of the western world. I ask the candid mind to answer the question!"
It may well be questioned, whether the Judge would have been so VOLUPT, had his political existence remained in the hands of the people; he might then, perhaps, still have felt "the fear of censure and the hope of applause."
FROM THE PALLADIUM. Mercer County, May 15, 1803.
Friends and fellow citizens, After a service of ten years in the state legislature and Congress, I have voluntarily withdrawn from public service. I pray you to accept my grateful thanks for the frequent evidences of esteem and confidence I have received from you. They are evidences of respect that will be ever gratefully remembered by me.
Before I take my final leave of you, permit me to give you some account of the proceedings of the last Congress, without reserve and without prejudice to any set of men, and without the fear of censure or the hope of applause, to state my opinions.
I will begin with those proceedings that most immediately concern our state and the western country in general; I mean the shutting of the port of New Orleans against the Americans, contrary to treaty. Most of the proceeding on this subject was transacted with closed doors; and although I am not permitted to disclose what did pass in our secret sitting, I am at liberty to speak of what did not pass. The idea held out to our government by the Spanish minister reluctant in the United States was, that this was the act of the intendant and not the act of the Spanish court. This I did not believe, and was therefore of opinion, that it was the policy of the United States to order her troops to take possession of the island of New Orleans, for the following reasons, to wit: 1st, if it was not the authorised act of the intendant, the court of Spain could not blame us to resist with manly firmness, any unauthorised aggression on our national rights: 2dly, if it was the act of the court of Spain, it was our duty to protect our citizens in the enjoyment of a right secured to them by treaty: 3dly, That island & the adjacent country must belong to the United States, or the fruit of the people in the western country will always be in the power of the foreign nation holding that port or place: 4thly, because I believed that the state of affairs in Europe opened a fair opportunity for us to take possession of a country all agree we must on some day own: 5thly, because our treasury could well afford the support of the army necessary to conquer the country, and western men a plenty would execute the enterprise: You readily perceive I was not favorable to sending an envoy—a weak nation must beg for its rights, but a strong one ought to demand them. I have no fear but Mr. Monroe will return with an acknowledgement of our right to the port of Orleans: But who can tell how long it will be before the right may be again invaded. I do not believe that our government considered the shutting of the port, the unauthorised act of the intendant. If they did, why send a minister. In fine, if it was unauthorised, could not the court of Spain long since have opened the port? I ask the candid mind to answer the question?
A law passed authorising the President to hold in readiness, to march at a moment's warning, 80,000 militia, or to accept of the service of any portion of them, as volunteers. I did not vote for this law, because I do believe it to be a violation of the constitution. That instrument expressly gives the power of raising and supporting armies to Congress; and I do not believe it safe or constitutional to transfer their power to the President or any other person. If troops are necessary, Congress ought to raise them. If they are found necessary in the recess, the President can convene Congress. Besides this objection, others operated with me. It is well known that militia cannot be marched out of the United States, and no particular provision is made for raising volunteers. Hence I conclude they will not be raised. I therefore consider the law a pompous nullity.
Various propositions were made from both the republican and federal side of the house on the subject of the port of
New Orleans; and both, in my opinion, equally innocuous.
The republicans labouring by faint slurs to quiet the minds of the western people, lest they might attempt to revenge their own wrongs, and thereby commit the peace of the United States before the result of negotiation could be known, and the federalists exerting themselves to embarrass the negotiation so as to defeat its object. I must therefore conclude, that in the contest of conflicting parties, already advanced too far in opposition to each other, the western people have been neglected. For I cannot impute to any of our sister states, the want of good will towards us. I have already said the political contest had gone too far—I explain in this way; under the administration of Mr. Adams the republicans, then the minority, comprised of the following errors, to wit: The constant increase of expense—the shift he shewed for power; and willingness to engage in war, on slight pretences. Under the administration of Mr. Jefferson, the leading republican members have pledged themselves to pay the national debt in seventeen years, after repealing the taxes: Any step therefore that will break in on this arrangement will be opposed by the leading republicans, because the wisdom of the President and accuracy of the Secretary of the Treasury, is at stake. Every step therefore that tends to assimilate the administration of Mr. Jefferson to that of Mr. Adams, whether it be necessary or not, will be opposed by the present majority. The federalists, desirous of bringing the administration of Mr. Jefferson into disrepute, will do all in their power to adopt measures calculated to increase expense, and if possible, breed war, no matter on what pretences or with what nation. So that they may say, Adams made peace; Jefferson made war. Early last session, a resolution was introduced and passed relating to the port of New Orleans; wherein it was declared that Congress received with sensibility the information of the closing of that port &c. But adhering to their former pacific disposition, &c. I did not vote for this resolution, because at a time when one of the best rights of the western people was arbitrarily withheld from them, I did not think it proper to declare we would be pacific. Of what avail is national strength if we do not exert it to hold our rights. I am for being pacific so as relates to the rights of other nations; but will repel by force every encroachment on our national rights.
I will add only one remark more on this subject, viz. I see the Spanish minister here has declared the port of New Orleans again open to the Americans: But if the public prints are to be credited, that island is in possession of the French: at least, L'Enfant, in the name of the French republic, has issued a proclamation to that effect. I suppose the Spanish authority has ceased—and if the French gain possession of that country, our hopes of ever obtaining it are very faint. I believe we have let the golden opportunity pass by, without reaping the benefits it offered us.
There was one other instance in which I thought the western people, were refused a reasonable indulgence, to wit: As the government could not or did not protect us in the enjoyment of the right of deposit at Orleans, and as our produce without it must perish on our hands, and of course the farmer be without money to pay his taxes; I introduced a resolution to suspend the collection of taxes due the United States, in the western country until the port was restored. This resolution was rejected by the committee of ways and means: although a similar indulgence had but a few days before been granted to the merchants of Portsmouth, New-Hampshire.
The salt spring in the Indiana Territory has lately been obtained by treaty from the Indians, and the government proposes to have the salt works at that place carried on at its own expense, and to sell the salt at half a dollar per bushel at the lick. The president being determined to break down the monopoly of salt in this country; and Congress, by law, gave 3,000 dollars to set the works in motion.
The western members and the members from Georgia united in petitioning the President to hold a treaty with the Creek Indians for the purpose of obtaining leave to cut a road from Danville, in this state, through Tennessee, and to Augusta, in Georgia, in order to facilitate the communication between the people of those states.
Our revenue from commerce is in an unprecedented state of prosperity. Upwards of twelve millions of dollars was received into the public treasury in the last year, ending the 30th of September, 1802; a sum greater by about two millions of dollars, than was ever before received with the aid of excises and stamp duties. This has enabled the government to meet with regularity all the current demands against it; and also to pay nine millions of dollars in discharge of the principal and interest of the national debt, besides 1,287,600 dollars. In addition to this, the secretary of the
treasury assures us, that unless some unforeseen calamity shall befall us, there will be no necessity for increasing the public burthen by additional taxation.
The sum necessary to meet the current expenses of the government this year, is 2,650,000 dollars. About the time Mr. Jefferson came into office, the current expenses of the government was near three times that sum. The warfare in which we were engaged with Tripoli, is not yet determined. Some armed vessels are continued in the Mediterranean sea, for the purpose of protecting our commerce in that quarter.
The late peace in Europe, has had a material effect on our exports. The value of exports from the United States, in the year 1801, was ninety-three million of dollars; for 1802 it was 71,857,149 dollars—a sum less by near 20,000,000 dollars, than the preceding year. This diminution of exports appears to have taken place in the middle and southern states (Georgia excepted) while the eastern states have rather gained in their aggregate for the last year. This may be accounted for in two ways—1st, a reduction of the price of the staple commodities in the middle and southern states (except Georgia), while those of the eastern states have kept up their former prices: 2dly, there being a great number of vessel owners in the eastern states, so that their produce finds its way to market sooner and with more ease than the other states, and because they have their carrying trade in their own hands, while the other states are dependent on vessel owners from abroad to take their produce to a market. I think our national prosperity has grown fast under the administration of Mr. Jefferson. The former and laborer relieved from taxation, enjoy the fruit of their industry—our manufactures daily increasing—our national debt melting away by the help of commerce—federalism almost destroyed—and the violence of party in society considerably lessened.
It has been reported that I had declined being a candidate for the next Congress, with a view of favoring the election of Gen. Adams. I declare that I had no such view: I wish to be independent men elected to the next Congress—men who, regardless of the charge of federalism, will firmly contend for the rights of the western people.
I wish to see those men elected members who will view with becoming jealousy the growing influence of the great states of New-York and Virginia, in the councils of the nation.
With sentiments of the highest respect, I am, my fellow citizens, Your obedient servant, THO. T. DAVIS.

The following is the answer to the Speech of the Governor by the House of Representatives of Massachusetts.
May it please your Excellency,
The House of Representatives receive your Speech, with all the deference and attachment due to your character. Your re-election as our Chief Magistrate, evinces the discernment of our fellow-citizens, and is a just tribute to your talents and virtues. We possess entire confidence, that you will cheerfully concur in every prudent and salutary measure for the advancement of their interest, and the improvement of their minds in wisdom and virtue.
We are deeply and solemnly impressed with the importance of rendering the judicial department, as independent, as the lot of humanity and the state of society, will admit. The evils which arise from temporary grants, and which are increasing from their repetition, will, unless speedily remedied, break down that essential branch of our government, which is a barrier against unlimited disorder.
With these sentiments, the House of Representatives will occupy themselves on this subject, and they will endeavor to place the impartial administration of justice, on the independent basis, established in the language and by the spirit of our Constitution.
The views and habits of our citizens, for a long period, have induced those laws and regulations, which have conferred on our Militia its present elevated reputation. But if, upon a revision, it should be found that further measures are necessary to render the system more perfect we will promptly adopt them. The preservation of all that is valuable to man in a state of society, indispensably requires that our government should possess such arrangements and force, as should be adequate to meet and controul those convulsive events to which all communities are liable.
It is the ardent love of Country, inherent in native breasts, cherished by valour, and braced by military art and science, that buoys a nation above all apprehensions of the consequences of asserting its rights, or braving the attempts or assumption of internal or external enemies.
It affords us therefore great satisfaction to learn, that the Executive of the United States is endeavouring to rouse a national spirit of defence and we cannot doubt, but that the general government will provide and organise every means for the security and protection of our property, and of our honor, at home and abroad.
Our citizens well know, by the experience of the operations of our excellent Constitution, how to appreciate true happiness. Ages have passed, of which history has had cognizance, and time will continue to unroll its destinies, subject to the future observation of man; but it may be fairly questioned, whether any people have existed, or will probably exist, in a state of society more perfectly in possession of the protection of personal liberty, and the honest acquisition and enjoyment of property, than the citizens of this Commonwealth. It will therefore, be the duty of the members of the Government to take every measure, in their power, and by their example to encourage a love of order and respect for the laws, and to remove all grounds of misunderstanding among their fellow-citizens, so that their present happy condition be continued unimpaired, and progressing in improvement.
Any further communication from your Excellency, will be received with the attention due to so respectable a source.
ANSWER OF THE SENATE.
May it please your Excellency,
The Senate of Massachusetts take this opportunity to present their congratulation on your late honourable re-election to the first executive office of this commonwealth, by the voluntary suffrages of your fellow-citizens.
Entering upon the legislative duties of the year, we accept, with satisfaction, the assurance of your cheerful concurrence in every prudent and salutary measure of legislation; and, in return, we beg your excellency to be assured, on our part, of all that respect, support and confidence,

which are due to the elected chief magistrate of a free people.
The protection of property, the security of personal liberty, the support of government, and the improvement of our public institutions, will, according to your excellency's recommendation, employ our deliberate reflections.
An equal administration of justice is an object of primary importance. With a view to so desirable an end, our constitution has wisely provided, that the justices of the supreme judicial court, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and that permanent and honorable salaries shall be established for their support. We, therefore, unite in the opinion, that their salaries, whatever they may be deemed the reasonable amount thereof, ought to be permanent and honorable, and established by standing laws.
We receive with pleasure, your excellency's communication of the letter of the President of the United States, written at the request of the House of Representatives, for the purpose of stimulating the exertions of the state government, to carry into effect the national militia system, in order to be seasonably prepared for seasonably prepared for a vigorous defence of our country, if unfortunately occasion should require:—And although peace with all nations, on honorable terms, is the wish and the interest of the United States; yet, as your excellency justly observes, it will always be necessary for us to cultivate the military art; not to enable us to engage in wars of ambition or revenge; but for self-defence, and the necessary vindication of our rights. The present respectable condition of the militia of Massachusetts, is justly a subject of congratulation. Any additional measures to render this important institution still more efficient, will be readily adopted by the Senate.
The course pursued by your excellency, in execution of the act of the 23d of June last, on the subject of the powder magazine, is perfectly agreeable to the Senate.
Impressed with a sense of the evils of a large public debt, and the found policy of a gradual, yet speedy extinguishment thereof, the Senate concurs with your excellency, in the hope that, upon comparing the funds and resources of the state, with the necessary public expenses, it will be found that provision may be made for a payment of a part of the remaining debt of this commonwealth, in the course of the present year, without embarrassing the treasury.
Any communications, which your excellency may think proper to make, will command our particular attention.
With your excellency, the Senate recognizes the duty of every citizen, in consideration of the equal rights secured by our constitution, to contribute, in his appropriate sphere of action, to the public good. The individual members of government, and all who are placed in influential situations, are under peculiar obligation to encourage, by precept and example, the practice of social, political and religious duties; to remove the grounds of popular discord and discontent; to promote a love of order, obedience to the laws, and respect for the constituted authorities of the national and state governments; to restrain the rage of parties, and tranquilize the public mind.
Would wish to engage in some healthy Country situation.

Result of the New-York Election for Senators.
SOUTHERN District, one senator, republican, elected.
Total republican votes 3,679—federal 2918.
MIDDLE District, three Senators, republican, elected.
Republican ticket, Johnston, 5,783 Brett, 5,753 Burt, 5,722 Federal ticket, Ford, 3,270 Foote, 3,275 Towner, 1,575
EASTERN District, five senators, republican, elected.
Republican ticket, Taylor, 6,925 Woodworth, 6,922 Savage, 6,886 Veeder, 6,821 Treadwell, 6,828
Federal ticket, Luft, 4,668 Vail, 4,524 Clark, 4,635 Paris, 4,609 Baily, 4,523
WESTERN District one senator, republican, elected.
Total republican votes 8,344—Federal 5,965.
After an official statement in detail of the above elections, the Albany Register observes:
"From the foregoing statement it appears that the average majorities in the several districts for the Republican Candidates are as follow."
   Districts. Majorities.     Southern, 761   Middle, 2046   Eastern, 2402   Western, 2379  
Total Republican Majority, 5,588
"At the last general election, which took place in 1801, governor Clinton had a majority of only 3969; the Western District then chose three federal Senators; the Eastern District four federal to one republican, and he succeeded in consequence of a division among the federalists as to one of their candidates; and the Middle and Southern Districts, only, voted in complete Republican tickets. The federal majority in the Western District, including Montgomery county, which has since been added to the Eastern, was then 751; the republican majority in that District, (without Montgomery) is now 2379; in the Eastern District, as it then stood, the federalists had a majority of 305; at the late election—the republicans have obtained a majority of 2,402, and would have succeeded by a majority of 1,704 without the addition of Montgomery county, which gave the republican ticket an average majority of 698. If we compare the total majority for governor Clinton in 1801, with the total majority for Republican Senators in 1803, it cannot be objected to as an unfair criterion by which to estimate the increase of republicanism since the governor's election, because the governor's majority exceeded the aggregate majority obtained by the republican Senators then chosen. The account will stand thus:
"Average majority for Republican Senator in 1802 } 8,588
Majority for Republican Governor in 1801, 3,965
"Increase of Republican majority since 1801, 4,623
"It may not be amiss to add, for the information of our readers abroad, that free-holders only vote for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Senators: the Assembly voters include all citizens who pay taxes and rent tenements of the yearly value of forty shillings. In a few days we shall lay before our readers a general view of the result of the elections for members of Assembly."

ADDRESS
Of the French Inhabitants of New-Orleans, to Laussat, Colonial Prefect, in answer to his Proclamation of the 6th Germinal, 11th year.
CITIZEN PREFECT,
France has done justice to our opinion, by believing in the unalterable attachment which we have preserved for her. Thirty-four years reign of a foreign power have not weakened in our minds the close love of our native land, and now in returning under her flag, our joy is equal to the sorrow we felt when forced to separate from her. Happy the natives of Louisiana who have lived long enough to be witnesses to this re-union, which they have never ceased to desire, and which is the accomplishment of their dearest wish. In an age so pregnant with astonishing events, no doubt there have happened things of greater magnitude, more imposing, and more memorable; but nothing perhaps offers so interesting, so moving a scene, as that of victorious and triumphant France holding out her protecting arm to children that had been torn from her breast by weakness and prevarication, and offering to share with them the fruits of a glorious peace, which terminated in so brilliant a manner, the most bloody and most terrible of revolutions. You have signified, citizen prefect, the return of the French government, by a genuine proof of her benevolent views. Your proclamation of the 6th of this month, by which you announce them, has penetrated us with gratitude for her paternal care. The first favors of the republic are felt, the happy choice of the chief which she places at our head, the honorable reputation of whom has already reached us; the chosen troops which she sends to guard our homes, are certain presages of the happiness and prosperity she is preparing for us. We offer to her in return our submission, our obedience, and our love; and we swear to prove ourselves deserving her name. She would probably place less value on the homage of our fidelity, if she saw us leave, without any symptoms of sorrow, the sovereign who has loaded us with favors, during the time he has reigned over us.
That culpable indifference does not exist in our hearts; the regret of losing him occupies a place with the joy of returning to our native country; and it is by retaining an eternal remembrance of his goodness, that we mean to shew ourselves worthy of the favors and attachment of the French Republic.
New Orleans, the—Germinal, 11th year.
(Signed by a number of the principal inhabitants)
From the Daily Advertiser.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
We wish to express suitable acknowledgments to a respectable mercantile house in this city, which favored us with the perusal of Paris papers to the 25th of April, inclusive, received yesterday by the brig Mary, capt. Moulton, in 40 days from Havre; and with the following extract from their correspondents:
"HAVRE, April 27.
"Appearances this day are more in favor of war. We are extremely solicitous to be relieved from this anxious state of suspense, a thousand times more painful than the evil itself."
Captain Moulton left Havre on the 28th of April, and informs us, that the greatest preparations for war were making in the French ports; a heavy impetus of seamen had taken place, and the fleet was principally manned; from 14 to 20 gunboats had been prepared for sea with the greatest expedition, and failed for Dunkirk 3 days before his departure, but were driven back by adverse winds, and were lying in port; others were getting their guns on board, and completing their equipments. Active measures were taken to have the batteries of the town and harbour properly manned, and the ship carpenters and caulkers at Havre were all engaged by the government. Capt. Moulton has brought dispatches from Mr. MONROE, for our government.
The French papers contain little intelligence, of importance; very
little that can gratify the eager expectation of public curiosity on the all important question of peace or war. They are chiefly filled with columns of the proceedings of the Corps Legislatif—a title not easily comprehended on this side of the Atlantic; a Corps somewhat similar, but without its proud patrician spirit, to the Parliament of Paris under the ancient regime; a Corps which does not deliberate, but only stamps the fiat to the arbitrary mandates of a military despot. The objects of these projects of laws are very uninteresting to American readers. The most prominent articles will be found under our foreign head. We cannot trace a lip respecting our Envoy Extraordinary, Mr. Monroe's arrival or reception; nor any thing that regards New Orleans or the province of Louisiana. The Journal du Commerce of the 25th April, contains the following:
"By virtue of an arrete of the colonial government of St. Lucie, dated the 23d Pluviose, and until it is otherwise ordained, the permission granted to foreign vessels which shall import into St. Lucie non-prohibited merchandise, and to export from thence brown sugars, is extended to all other productions of that colony, excepting cotton, which only is reserved for the French commerce. Foreign vessels shall pay 6 1/2 per cent. on the value of colonial products exported from St. Lucie—those exported by the national vessels of France, or in French possessions, shall be subject to no duty on departure from said colony."

New-York, June 8,
The brig Mary, captain Moulton, arrived from Havre de Grace. Left there 28th April, at which time preparations for war were carrying on in France, with much activity. Orders have been received at Havre on the 26th to have the forts and batteries put into the best state of defence, and for that purpose all the ship carpenters and caulkers in the city held in requisition by the government. A heavy impetus of seamen had taken place, and the fleet was said to be nearly manned. About 20 gunboats, which left Havre for Dunkirk a few days before captain M. failed, had put back on account of adverse winds; others were equipping with all possible expedition. Capt. Moulton is the bearer of dispatches for our government from Mr. Monroe.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the suite of Mr. Monroe, to his friend in this city, dated Paris, April 16th 1803.
"Mr. Monroe was presented to the Minister for foreign affairs on the 14th, by whom he was received with every mark of attention. He assured him that he heard of his arrival in France with much satisfaction. Mr. M. will not be presented to the First Consul until ten days hence, that being the time appointed for presenting the foreign ministers."
"General Bernadotte left Paris on the 13th to embark for the United States, where he is to reside as Minister from this government. It is the general opinion that war is at no great distance. Orders were issued two days ago to prevent the sailing of all French vessels."
The whole of the property
of John Fitzgerald, advertised for sale on the 22d ult. could not on that or the succeeding day be set up, owing to previous engagements of the Vendue Master: it was then continued as most eligible to postpone the sale of the residue until the 19th day of May, (inst.)

In the case of William Bayly a Bankrupt.
Whereas the said WILLIAM BAYLY has been declared a Bankrupt by the Commissioners acting under a Commission issued against him, and has by his Petition in writing represented to the Judge who issued the Commission against him, that he cannot obtain the certificate of the Commissioners of his being entitled to a discharge by reason that one of the said Commissioners has resigned his office and removed from the District, and another of the said Commissioners has refused to sign the same, whereby the said Certificate is unreasonably denied by the Commissioners, and has prayed the said Judge, to grant him thereupon a Certificate of discharge and that he may have the benefit of the act to establish an uniform system of Bankruptcy throughout the United States, the proceedings of the Commissioners being returned to the said Judge for his determination thereon.
It is directed that notice be given by advertisement in the National Intelligencer and the Washington Federalist that the Judge will attend at the Clerks office in Washington county on Monday the 13th day of June next between the hours of 10 and 12 o'clock when and where the Creditors of the said William Bayly or any of them may appear and show cause if any they have why the petition of the said William Bayly should not be granted, and on hearing such Creditors if they should appear, and on examining the proceedings of the Commissioners, and the laws relative thereto, the Judge will determine on the said petition by granting or refusing the prayer thereof.
