Traveller's Hall.
THE subscriber tenders his sincere thanks to his friends for the very liberal encouragement which they have bestowed on him. He will finish one of his new rooms in a few weeks, which will be large enough to dine near 200 persons at a time, and will shortly after have the remainder of his additional building completed, which will give him a front of near 100 feet, in the most agreeable part of the town, and in the centre of business being on the highest part of the public square. He has on hand, and has contracted for a constant supply of the best wines, and foreign spirituous liquors imported, and country provisions, stable forage, foreign & state newspapers—and has secured a quantity of liquors sufficient for the use of his table and bar during the season. He affords his friends, and that respectable part of the public who have patronized him, that there shall be nothing wanting which his time or purse will command, to render the Traveller's Hall a house of entertainment for genteel guests only, equal to any in America.

IMPEACHMENT OF JUDGE CHASE.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1805.
[Continued]
MR. CLARK—Mr. President, I rise only to make a few remarks on two of the articles, the fifth and sixth, that the counsel for the respondent may be possessed of all the points we mean to make. I will endeavor in a few words to state the practice which we think ought to have been pursued in the case of Callender. The practice in the federal courts is regulated by that in each state. If this position be correct, we contend, that the proper process in the case of Callender was a summons. An act of Virginia, passed in the year 1792, provides that the grand jury "shall present all treasons, murders, felonies, or other misdemeanors whatsoever, which shall have been committed or done within the district for which they are impanelled."
By another act of Virginia, passed in the same year, it is enacted that "upon presentment made by the grand jury of an offence not capital, the court shall order the clerk to issue a summons or other proper process against the person or persons so presented, to appear and answer such presentment at the next court, and thereupon hear and determine the same according to law."
In this last provision the words "or other proper process" have a direct application to the previous provision; which enacts that the grand jury shall present all treasons, murders, felonies, "or other misdemeanors." For treasons, murders and felonies, we admit that a capias is the proper process; and when the law directs other proper process, it had reference to a class of crimes where a capias was required. It is in vain alleged, that the counsel for Callender made no objection to the process issued. They were not at that time to be considered as his counsel; it was only after he was brought into court that their duty commenced.
Further, whether the proper process was a capias or summons, the law of Virginia requires that it shall be returnable to the next court; and I contend that this point is established by the English practice. To show which I refer to Hawkins Pleas of the crown, where it is stated that a venire facias , which is in the nature of a summons, is the proper process, and that it is returnable to the next court.
It was surely then the duty of the judge to be acquainted with the laws of England, however unacquainted he may have been with the laws of Virginia. He cannot, therefore, on this ground, attempt a justification from ignorance. In his answer he informs us that ignorance of the law is no excuse. It is no excuse in an unlettered individual, shall it constitute the apology of him who was expressly appointed to expound the law and administer justice? And if on this occasion he was not acquainted with the law, did it therefore become him to proceed with such fatal precipitancy? No sooner was the presentment made, than the marshal, before any indictment was brought in, was dispatched after Callender. We can only account for this, by supposing that it was the intention of the judge to act in conformity to his previous declaration, however jocularly it may have seemed to have been made; and that this was one of the means he had determined to pursue, in order to convict Callender, regardless of the dignity of his station, or the innocence of the man. Having offered these few remarks, I am instructed to say that the case is fully opened on the part of the prosecution.
MR. HOPKINSON—Mr. President, we cannot remind you, and this honorable court, as our opponents have so frequently done, that we address you in behalf of the majesty of the people.—We appear for an ancient and infirm man, whose better days have been worn out in the service of that country which now degrades him; and who has nothing to promise you for an honorable acquittal but the approbation of your own consciences. We are happy, however, to concur with the honorable managers in one point—I mean the importance they are disposed to give to this cause. In every relation and respect in which it
can be viewed, it is indeed of infinite importance. It is important to the respondent to the full amount of his good name and reputation, and of that little portion of that happiness, the small residue of his life may afford. It is important to you, Senators and Judges, inasmuch as you value the judgment which posterity shall pass upon the proceedings of this day. It is important to our country, as she estimates her character for sound, dignified and impartial justice in the eyes of a judging world. The little, busy vortex that plays immediately round the scene of action, confounds this proceeding merely as the trial of Judge Chase, and gazes upon him as the only person interested in the result. This is a false and imperfect view of the case. It is not the trial of Judge Chase alone. It is a trial between him and his country; and that country is as deeply interested as the judge can be, in a fair and impartial investigation of the case, and in a just and honest decision of it. There is yet another dread tribunal to which we should not be inattentive. We should look to it with solemn impressions of respect. It is posterity—the race of men that will come after us. When all the false glare and false importance of the times shall pass away—when things shall settle down into a state of placid tranquility and lose that bustling motion that deceives with false appearances—when you, most honorable Senators, who sit here to judge, as well as the respondent who sits here to be judged, shall alike rest in the silence of the tomb, then comes the faithful, the scrutinizing historian, who without fear or favor will record this transaction; then comes a just and impartial posterity, who, without regard to persons or to dignities, will decide upon your decision. Then, I trust, the high honor and integrity of this court will stand recorded in the pure language of deserved praise, and this day will be remembered in the annals of our land, as honorable to the respondent, to his judges, and to the justice of our country.
We have heard, sir, from the honorable managers who have addressed you, many harsh expressions. I hope, sir, they will do no harm. We have been told of the respondent's unholy sins, which even the heavenly expectation of sincere repentance cannot wash away; we have been told of his volumes of guilt, every page of which calls loudly for punishment. This sort of language but pursues the same spirit of asperity and reproach which was begun in the replication to our answer. But we come here, sir, not to complain of any thing; we come expecting to bear and forbear much. It does indeed seem to me, that the replication filed by the honorable managers on behalf of the House of Representatives and of all the people, carries with it more acrimony than either the occasion or their dignity demanded. It may be said they have resorted for it to English precedent, and framed it from the replication filed in the celebrated case of Warren Hastings. There is, however, no similarity between that case and ours. Precedents might have been found more mild in their character and more adapted to the circumstances of our case. The impeachment of Hastings was not instituted on a petty catalogue of frivolous occurrences, more calculated to excite ridicule than apprehension, but for the alleged murder of princes and plunder of empires. If, however, the choice of this case as a precedent for our pleadings has exposed us to some unpleasant expressions, it also furnishes us abundance of consolation and hope. There, the most splendid talents that ever adorned the British nation were strained to their utmost exertion to crush the devoted victim of malignant persecution. But in vain—the stern integrity—the enlightened perception—the immovable justice of his judges stood as a barrier between him and destruction, and safely protected him from the fury of the storm. So, I trust in God, it will be with us.
In England, the impeachment of a judge is a rare occurrence. I recollect but two in half a century. But in our country, boasting of its superior purity and virtue, and declaiming ever against the vice, venality and corruption of the old world, even judges have been prosecuted criminally in about two years. A melancholy proof either of extreme and unequalled corruption in our judiciary, or of strange and persecuting times among us.
The first proper object of our inquiries in this case is, to ascertain with proper precision what acts or offences of a public officer are the objects of impeachment. This question meets us at the very threshold of the case. If
it shall appear that the charges exhibited in these articles of impeachment are not, even if true, the constitutional subjects of impeachment, if it shall turn out on the investigation that the judge has really fallen into error, mistake or indiscretion, yet if he stands acquitted in proof of any such acts as by the law of the land are impeachable offences, he stands entitled to discharge on his trial. This proceeding by impeachment is a mode of trial created and defined by the constitution of our country; and by this the court is exclusively bound. To the constitution then we must exclusively look to discover what is or is not impeachable. We shall there find the whole proceeding distinctly marked out; and every thing delineated and properly distributed necessary in the construction of a court of criminal jurisdiction. We shall find, 1. Who shall originate or present an impeachment. 2. Who shall try it. 3. For what offences it may be used. 4. What is the punishment on conviction. The first of these points is provided for in the second section of the first article of the constitution, where it is declared that "the House of Representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment." This power corresponds with that of a grand jury to find a presentment or indictment. In the third section of the same article, the court is provided before whom the impeachment thus originated shall be tried—"the Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments." And the fourth section of the second article points out and describes the offences intended to be impeachable, and the punishment which is to follow conviction; subject to a limitation in the third section of the first article.
Have any facts then been given in evidence against the respondent which make him liable to be proceeded against by this high process of impeachment? What are the offences? What is the constitutional description of those official acts, for which a public officer may be arraigned before this high court? In the fourth section of the second article of the constitution it is declared that "the President, Vice-President and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." Treason or bribery is not alleged against us on this occasion. Our offences then must come under the general description of "high crimes and misdemeanors," or we are not impeachable by the constitution of the United States. I offer it as a position I shall rely upon in my argument, that no judge can be impeached and removed from office for any act or offence for which he could not be indicted. It must be by law an indictable offence. One of the gentlemen indeed who conduct this prosecution, (Mr. Campbell) contends for the reverse of this proposition, and holds that for such official acts as are the subject of impeachment, no indictment will lie or can be maintained. For, says he, it would involve us in this monstrous oppression and absurdity, that a man might be twice punished for the same offence, once by impeachment and then by indictment. And so most surely he may; and the limitation of the punishment on impeachment takes away the injustice and oppression the gentleman dreads. A slight attention to the subject will shew the fallacy of this gentleman's doctrine. If the absurdity and oppression he fears will really ensue on indicting a man for the same offence for which he has already been impeached, they must be charged to the constitution itself, which in the 3d sec. of the 1st article after limiting the extent of the judgment in cases of impeachment, goes on to declare that "the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment according to law." The idea of the honorable manager is, that for acts done in the course of official duty, a judge must be proceeded against exclusively by impeachment; and that no indictment will lie in such case. The incorrectness of this notion appears not only from a reference to the constitution, but to the known laws of England also. I will remind you of a case, stated, I believe, in the elementary books of the law, in which it is said that if a judge undertakes of his own authority to change the mode of punishment prescribed by law for any crime, he is indictable; for instance, should he sentence a man to be beheaded, when the law directed him to be hanged, the judge is guilty of murder, and may be accordingly indicted. When, sir, I contend, that in order to sustain an impeachment, an offence must be proved upon the respon-
dent which would support an indictment. I do not mean to be understood as admitting that the converse of the proposition is true; that is, that every act or offence is impeachable which is indictable. Far from it. A man may be indictable for many violations of positive law, which evince no mala mens , no court's heart or intention—but which would not be the ground of an impeachment. I will instance the case of an assault, which is an indictable offence, but will not surely be pretended to be an impeachable offence, for which a judge may be removed from office. It is true that the second section of the first article, which gives the House of Representatives the sole power of impeachment, does not in terms limit the exercise of that power. But its obvious meaning is, not in that place, to describe the kind of acts which are to be subjects of impeachment, but merely to declare in what branch of the government it shall commence. The House of Representatives has the power of impeachment; but for what they are to impeach, in what cases they may exercise this delegated power, depends on other parts of the constitution, and not on their opinion, whim, or caprice. The whole system of impeachment must be taken together and not in disjointed parts; and if we find one part of the constitution declaring who shall commence an impeachment, we find other parts of it declaring who shall try it, and what acts and what persons are constitutional subjects of this mode of trial. The power of impeachment is with the House of Representatives—but only for impeachable offences. They are to proceed against the offence in this way when it is committed, but not to create the offence, and make any act criminal and impeachable at their will and pleasure. What is an offence is a question to be decided by the constitution and the law, not by the opinion of a single branch of the legislature; and when the offence thus described by the constitution or the law has been committed, then and not until then, has the House of Representatives power to impeach the offender. So a grand jury possesses the sole power to indict; but in the exercise of this power they are bound by positive law, and do not assume under this general power to make any thing indictable which they might disapprove. If it were so, we should indeed have a strange, unsettled and dangerous penal code. No man could walk in safety, but would be at the mercy of the caprice of every grand jury that might be summoned; and that would be crime to morrow which is innocent to day.
What part of the constitution then declares any of the acts charged and proved upon Judge Chase, even in the worst aspect, to be impeachable? He has not been guilty of bribery or corruption; he is not charged with them. Has he then been guilty of "other high crimes and misdemeanors?" In an instrument so sacred as the constitution, I presume every word must have its full and fair meaning. It is not then only for crimes and misdemeanors that a judge is impeachable, but it must be for high crimes and misdemeanors. Although this qualifying adjective "high," immediately precedes and is directly attached to the word "crimes," yet from the evident intention of the constitution and upon a just grammatical construction, it must be also applied to "misdemeanors." The repetition of this adjective would have injured the harmony of the sentence without adding any thing to its perspicuity. How would this be in common parlance? Suppose it should be said that at this trial there are attending many ladies and gentlemen. Would it be doubted that the adjective many applies to gentlemen as well as ladies, although not repeated. Or if there is any thing peculiar in this respect in this word "high," I will suppose it were said that among the auditors there are men of high rank and station. Would it not be as well understood as if it were said that men of high rank and high station are here? There is surely no difference. So in the constitution it is said, that "a regular statement of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time." Is not the account to be regular as well as the statement? I should have deemed it unnecessary to have spent a word on so plain a point, had I not bade it of that a difficulty would probably be made upon it. It my construction of this part of the constitution be not admitted, and the adjective "high" be given exclusively to "crimes" and denied to "misdemeanors," this strange absurdity must ensue. That when an officer of the government is impeached for a crime, he cannot be con-

A cited which it proves to be a high crime... but he may nevertheless be convicted of a misdemeanor of the most petty grade. Oserve, fir, the crimes with which these "other high crimes," are charged in the constitution, and we may learn something of their character. They stand in connection with "bribery and corruption;" tried in the same manner and subject to the same penalties. But if we are to take the force and meaning of the word "high" in relation to misdemeanors, and this description of offenses must be governed by the mere meaning of the term "misdemeanors," without deriving any grade from the adjective, still my position remains unimpaired, that the offence, whatever it is, which is the ground of impeachment, must be such an one as would support an indictment. "Misdemeanor," is a legal and technical term, well understood and defined in law; and in the construction of a legal instrument we must give to words their legal significations. A misdemeanor or a crime, for in their just and proper acceptation they are synonymous terms, is an act committed or omitted, in violation of a public law, either forbidding or commanding it. By this test, let the conduct of the respondent be tried, and, by it, let him stand judged or condemned.
Does not, fir, the court, provided by the constitution for the trial of an impeachment, give us some idea of the grade of offence intended for its jurisdiction? Look around you, fir, upon the awful tribunal of justice—is it not high and dignified, collecting within itself the justice and majesty of the American people? Was such a court created to try errors and infractions too insignificant to have a name in the penal code, too petty for the notice of a court of general jurisdiction? This is indeed employing an elephant to remove an atom, or a mouse to grasp an insect. In the Senate of the United States solemnly convened and held together in the presence of the nation to fix a standard of political conduct in a judge, and make the proceedings of judicial decorum? The honorable gentleman who opened the prosecution (Mr. Randolph) has contended for a contrary doctrine, and held that many things are impeachable that are not indictable. To illustrate his position, he stated the cases of habitual drunkenness and profane swearing on the bench, which he held to be objects of impeachment and not of indictment. I do not desire to impose my opinion on this court as of any value. But surely I could not hesitate to say that both of the cases put by the gentleman would be indictable. Is there not known to us a class of offences, not provided for indeed by the letter of any statute, but which come under the general protection which the law gives to virtue, decency and morals in society. Any act which is contra bonos mores is indictable as such. And it is so, not by act of Congress, but by the pure and wholesome mandates of that common law, which some men would gladly drive from our jurisprudence, but which I must sincerely pray may live forever.
If I am correct in my position that nothing is impeachable that is not also indictable, for what acts then may a man be indicted? May it be on the mere caprice or opinion of any ten, twenty or one hundred men in the community; or must it not be on some known law of the society in which he resides? It must unquestionably be for some offence either of omission or commission against some statute of the United States—or some statute of a particular state, or against the provision of the common law. Against which of these has the respondent offended? What law of any of the descriptions I have mentioned has he violated? By what is he to be judged, by what is he to be justified or condemned, if not by some known law of the country; and if no such law is brought upon his case—if no such violation rests on this day of trial in judgment against him, why stands he here at this bar as a criminal? Whom has he offended? The House of Representatives—and is he impeached for this? I maintain as a most important and indispensable principle, that no man should be criminally accused, no man can be criminally condemned but for the violation of some known law by which he was bound to govern himself. Nothing is so necessary to justice and to safety as that the criminal code should be certain and known. Let the judge, as well as the citizen, precisely know the path he is to walk in, and what he may or may not do. Let not the sword tremble over his unconscious head, or the ground be spread with quicklands and destruction, which appear fair and harmless to the eye of the traveller. Can it be pretended there is one rule of justice for a judge and another for a private citizen; and that while the latter is protected from surprise, from the malice or caprice of any man or body of men, and can be brought into legal jeopardy only by the violation of laws before made known to him, the latter is to be exposed to punishment without knowing his offence, and the criminality or innocence of his conduct is to depend not upon the laws existing at the time, but upon the opinions of a body of men to be
collected four or five years after the transaction? A judge may thus be impeached and removed from office for an act strictly legal, when done, if any House of Representatives for any indefinite time after, shall for any reason they may act upon, choose to consider such act improper and impeachable. The constitution, fir, never intended to lay the judiciary thus prostrate at the feet of the House of Representatives, the slaves of their will, the victims of their caprice. The judiciary must be protected from prejudice and varying opinion, or it is not worth a farthing. Suppose a grand jury should make a presentment against a man—stating that most truly he had violated no law or committed any known offence; but he had violated their notions of common sense, for this was the standard of impeachment the gentleman who opened gave us, he had shocked their nerves or wounded their sensibility. Would such a presentment be received or listened to for a moment? No, fir. And on the same principle, no judge should be put in jeopardy because the common sense of one hundred and fifty men might approve what is thus condemned, and the rule of right, the object of punishment or praise, would thus shift about from day to day. As we depend upon the House of Representatives for the innocence or criminality of our conduct? Can they create offences at their will and pleasure—and declare that to be a crime in 1804 which was an indictment or punishable error, or perhaps an approved proceeding in 1800? If this gigantic House of Representatives, by the mutual vote and the usual forms of legislation, were to direct that any act heretofore not forbidden by law, should hereafter become penal, this declaration of their will would be a mere nullity—would have no force and effect, not duly sanctioned by the senate and the approbation of the President. Will they then be allowed, in the exercise of their power of impeachment, to create crimes and inflict the most serious penalties on actions never before suspected to be criminal, when they could not have swelled the same act into an offence in the form of a law. It this be truly the case, if this power of impeachment may be thus extended without limit or control, then indeed is very valuable liberty prostrated at the foot of this omnipotent House of Representatives—and may God preserve us! The President may approve and sign a law, or may make an appointment which to him may seem prudent and beneficial, and it may be the general, nay the universal sentiment that it is so—and it is undeniable that no law is violated by the act. But some four or five years hence there comes a House of Representatives whose common sense is constituted on a new model, and who either are or affect to be greatly shocked at the atrocity of this act. The President is impeached—in vain he pleads the purity of his intention, the legality of his conduct, in vain he avers that he has violated no law and been guilty of no crime. He will be told, as Judge Chase now is, that the common sense of the House is the standard of guilt, and their opinion of the error of the act conclusive evidence of corruption. We have read, fir, in our younger days, and read with horror, of the Roman emperor who placed his edicts so high in the air that the keenest eye could not decipher them, and yet severely punished any breach of them. But the power claimed by the House of Representatives to make any thing criminal at their pleasure, at any period after its occurrence, is ten thousand times more dangerous, more tyrannical, more subversive of all liberty and safety. Shall I be called to heavy judgment now for an act which when done, was forbidden by no law and received no reproach, because in a course of years there is found a lot of men whose common sense condemns the deed. The gentlemen have referred us to this standard, and being under the necessity to acknowledge that the respondent has violated no law of the community, they would on this vague and dangerous ground accuse, try and condemn him. The code of the Roman tyrant was fixed on the height of a column, where it might be understood with some extraordinary pains; but here to be sure, we must be able to look into years to come, and to foresee what will be the changing opinions of men or points of decorum for years to come. The rule of our conduct, by which we are to be judged and condemned, lies buried in the bosom of futurity, and in the minds and opinions of men unknown, perhaps unborn. (To be continued)

WASHINGTON CITY. FRIDAY, MAY 31.
Since the publication of the chevalier de Foronda, the Spanish consul general, that he had received "official advice, that orders had been given by the English government to their vessels of war and privateers not to molest any neutral vessel or vessels bound to Spain with grain or flour," we have seen a genuine copy of a letter from admiral Sir John O de, commanding the British Squadron off Cadiz, to the British consul at Lisbon in which he observes, that he has thought it an imperious duty on his part to order the blockade of Cadiz and St. Lucas; that no vessel be allowed to go into the former port or to leave it except in ballast; and that no vessel laden either in whole or in part with corn, military or naval stores or provisions be permitted to enter the latter.
The bill, passed at the last meeting of the council, providing for the inspection of flour, shall appear in our next.
Considerable alarm has arisen in Baltimore by the expected arrival at that place of two Prussian vessels filled with convicts transported by the Dutch government. It is represented that correct information, to this effect has been received. It is not without hesitation that we can bring ourselves to credit the circumstance, as an invariably good understanding has subsisted between the United States and the Batavian Republic.
At a meeting of the citizens held at the Theatre agreeably to a notification in the National Intelligencer, for the purpose of framing a ticket for the next election of the city council.

Brigade Orders, George Town, May 27, 1804.
The court martial, of which 1st colonel Brent was president ordered for the trial of Lieut. Harper of the 1st legion, on the charges exhibited against him by majors Role and M'Kenney, to wit:—
"Charge 1st. For misbehavior when on duty. Specification 1st. In having in the year 1803, at various times, and while acting as lieutenant of the rifle company of the second legion, under colour of pretence of collecting from the officers and privates of the company each man's equal share of the expenses attending a voluntary contribution for the purchase of refreshments for the company and entertainment of the said company, demanded and collected more than the

proper share of each man in such expense, and having appropriated the surplus to his own use and emolument."
"2nd. In demeaning himself in a disorderly, indecorous and disrespectful manner towards a legionary court of enquiry, held in the month of September, 1804, while acting as a member of the court, and towards his superior officers."
"3d. In having at the said legionary court, without any just or colourable ground or pretence, uttered in open court sundry false, groundless and indecorous assertions, insinuations and charges, against the field officers of the second legion, or some of them, concerning the disorganization and contumacy for some time prevailing in the said company, of which he was lieutenant."
"Charge 2d. For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer. Specification 1st. In writing and publishing in a certain public gazette, or newspaper, called 'The Alexandria Daily Advertiser,' published in Alexandria, on the 20th day of Sept. 1804, a false, scandalous and indecorous paper directed to major Henry Rose, and signed Wm. H. Harper, in which paper he makes sundry false, scurrilous, indecorous and disrespectful assertions, insinuations and comments, concerning the official conduct and character of major Henry Rose, of lieut. col. Francis Peyton, and of major John M. Kenny."
"2d. In making and uttering, in the before mentioned paper, the false and groundless insinuation, that the field officers of the second legion had encouraged and sanctioned the commotion in the said company."
"3d. In making a report in writing to the Battalion Court of enquiry, for the 2d battalion, falsely charging major M'Kenny with neglect of duty in not notifying him (lieut. Harper) of the company muster of the 29th Sept. Having passed the following sentence viz: "The court is of opinion that the 1st specification of the 1st charge, against lieutenant William Alexander Harper is totally unfounded, and do acquit him of the same and every part thereof—But of the 2d specification of the 1st charge, the 1st, 2d, and 3d, specifications of the 2d charge he is guilty; the same being fully supported by evidence. The court therefore award, that the said lieut. Wm. A. Harper be suspended from his command, for and during the term of five years."
And the sentence having been approved by the President of the United States, the Brigadier General disapproves the court, and orders, that lieut. Harper abstain from the exercise of all powers and duties, appertaining to his office of lieut. during the time prescribed by the sentence of the court.
This order will be sent to the commanding officer of the 2d legion, and be published in some one of the newspapers in the district of Columbia, for the information of the officers of the brigade.
Brigade Major Beall will take the necessary measures. J. MASON, Brig. General Militia dist. Col.
New York, May 26. By the brig Panther, arrived yesterday from Jamaica, we have received Kingston papers to the 2d inst. from which some extracts have been made, principally in the marine department. We learn, that a few days before the Panther failed, Admiral Dacres, with six sail of the line, had proceeded in quest of the French squadron. The Reynard sloop of war had just returned from a cruise, in which she fell in with a French privateer, [the Lilly sloop of war] and after a sharp action sunk her. The Reynard had ten men wounded. It does not seem from these papers that any other French squadron had appeared in the West Indies; of course the report of such an event was unfounded.
By the ship Hardware, capt. Matlack, in 39 days from Live pool, the editors of the New York Gazette have received London papers to the 13th of April. The most prominent article is that of the resignation of Lord Melville as Treasurer of the Navy, on account of being charged by the House of Commons of having made an improper use of the public money.
The secret expedition had not yet failed.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the American squadron, to his friend in Petersburg, dated on board the Essex, Syracuse harbor, Nov. 9, 1804.
"William Eaton (our former consul at Tunis) has failed in the brig Argus for Egypt; he is to co-operate with the brother of the bashaw—the dethroned bashaw is to raise an army against his brother, who usurped his government."
"Report says the Dey of Algiers has threatened to burn our squadron.—We are vigilant—we keep a boat rowing about the mouth of the harbor (night and day) to give notice to all vessels coming in."
Philadelphia, May 28. George Hammaker, Esq. and brother, whom we are informed is appointed by the king of Denmark, consul for the Eastern states, came passengers in the ship Lydia, capt. Treadwell, arrived at New York on Saturday last, from Tonningen. We are also informed that J. T. Eckhart, esquire, formerly Vice Consul at Philadelphia, is appointed by his Danish majesty, consul for the middle states.
Philadelphia, May 27. We understand that a letter has been received by a respectable merchant in this city, from his correspondent in Kingston, Jamaica, which states, that on the 22d April, the governor had informed a deputation of the merchants that he was determined to enforce the prohibition against the admission of American vessels. But a packet arriving from England on the 29th, it was announced that the ports of that island would be opened to the vessels of the United States, as heretofore.
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, dated April 4, 1805.
"A new law has appeared under the date of the 30th Ventose, (21st March) authorizing the seizure and confiscation of all colonial produce imported in foreign ships, which shall not be accompanied with certificates of the French commercial agent, certifying that it is not the production of any colony or country, under the dominion of Great Britain. It will be rigorously enforced, even against vessels coming from ports where no such agent resides. This law is supplementary to one of the same nature, of the 1st Melidor, 11th year, (20th June, 1803) but more severe in its dispositions, as there was a modification in the latter by which an exportation of an equal value in French manufactured goods, within the three months following the importation, was to be considered as an exemption from all penalties, seizures, or confiscations; but this privilege is no longer allowed."
Kingston, [Jam.] April 24. Saturday last his honor the lieut. governor closed the session with the following speech:—
Gentlemen of the council, Mr. Speaker, and gentlemen of the Assembly, The business for which you were called together having happily terminated, it is with great satisfaction that I grant you a recess.
Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly, I thank you sincerely for the supplies which you have granted for the payment of the expenses necessarily incurred by the late martial law.
Gentlemen of the council, Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly, I take great pleasure in the prospect of your now returning to your families and homes, with your minds entirely relieved from the uneasiness and anxiety naturally attending upon the late alarm.
I do, therefore, prorogue this general assembly to the 21st day of May next, and it is hereby prorogued accordingly.

Valuable Property for Sale.
THE subscriber being desirous of removing to the western country offers for sale the following tract of land in Fairfax county Virginia, viz. The tract on which he resides containing about 740 acres, five miles below Alexandria and within one mile of Potomac river, in an agreeable neighborhood, the situation pleasant and remarkably healthy; the land level and well adapted to the production of Indian corn, wheat and other small grain; the improvements are a large and commodious dwelling house two stories high, 54 feet long and 34 feet wide, with four rooms and a passage on a floor, a piazza nine feet wide on each front, the full length of the house and an excellent cellar under the whole house, divided into four rooms and a passage, a good kitchen, meat house, dairy, ice house and every other necessary building, all in good repair, with a well of excellent water, a good garden, apple and peach orchard and about 40 acres of excellent timothy meadow, and as much more may be made at a very small expense, also an overseer's house, negro quarters, a granary, &c. One other tract containing about 1250 acres six miles below Alexandria divided into two farms sufficient to work nine or ten hands on each; the buildings on these farms consist only of overseer's houses, negro quarters, granaries, &c. there are 40 or 50 acres of good timothy meadow well enclosed and a great deal more may be made at a trifling expense; the land very level and fertile with an abundance of timber; this tract is allowed by those who know it well to be equal if not superior to any tract of the same extent in this part of the country, it will be sold entire or divided as may be found most convenient. One other tract near the last mentioned one containing 402 acres rented to tenants at will, a considerable portion of which is level and the soil good, there are on it two or three beautiful and commanding situations for buildings and a meadow from which one of the tenants sells from 15 to 20 tons of hay a year.
Another tract of about 325 acres 9 or 10 miles below Alexandria, through which the main road leading from Alexandria to Richmond passes; this would be an excellent stand for a tavern, there being none at this time between Alexandria and Colchester, a distance of 16 or 18 miles. Also one other tract near the last mentioned containing about 400 acres, both the last mentioned tracts are likewise rented to tenants at will, they produce good corn wheat and other small grain, and there is on each of them a considerable quantity of excellent timothy meadow in good order from which the tenants sell a great deal of hay.
For terms apply to the subscriber five miles below Alexandria.

IRON WORKS FOR SALE.
IN Wythe county State of Virginia, on Cripple Creek about 15 miles from the Great Kanawha and 40 miles from the north fork of Holston which affords a tolerable safe navigation to a prodigious scope of the western country, where perhaps iron is in greater demand than in any other quarter of the United States.
Cripple Creek affords a sufficiency of water for both forge and furnace, being fed by bold never failing springs. The furnace and all the buildings have been commenced within 4 or 5 years—they consist of dwelling houses, kitchens, and a store house; also, a large and convenient stable—the forge has not long been completed. It is supposed to be the best built forge in Virginia, being out of choice timber felled at proper season, and executed by a first rate forge carpenter from Pennsylvania. It works three fires and two hammers, is sixty feet long and fifty wide, well coffered with joint hinges. There are between 7 and 800 acres of land attached to these works, some of it of excellent soil, and any quantity may be procured within 6 or 8 miles for from 1 to 8 dollars per acre.—The ore banks appear to be inexhaustible, lying within one mile of the furnace and good roads. From one of the banks the ore may be conveyed by water within 10 steps of the furnace, with the inconsiderable expense of 40 or 50 dollars.
The quality of the iron is acknowledged by those who have used it to be equal to any. It is particularly sought for by lock makers, faddle tree planters, cutters, &c.
The demand for iron in that country is far beyond what is made, and is falling from 40 to 60 per ton. I have no hesitation to say, contracts on not a very long credit can be had for almost any quantity yearly, as from that quarter a considerable portion of the western country is supplied.
As it is supposed a purchase of this magnitude would not be made, without a view of the property by those inclined to purchase, it is deemed unnecessary to give a further description.
Letters addressed to me at Abington, Virginia, will be duly attended to.
I will also sell my
SALT WORKS
On Nelson in Washington county Virginia, which is now rented at 10,000 Dolls. a year. I have adjoining to it between 5 and 6000 acres of land well covered with timber, a considerable proportion of which in point of fertility is equal to any land whatever, and will afford 3 or 400 acres of meadow, nearly 100 being now in good timothy. The buildings which are extensive are in a good state of preservation.
