BLOCKADES.
The recent British orders relative to Blockades demand the attention of every citizen of the U. S. and have no doubt seriously engaged the councils of our government. The blockade of a grand division of the earth, such as the confederate republic of kingdoms and states, which is called Germany, is unknown in the annals of past times. The principle of a reasonable expectation of a reduction by force is essential to a legitimate blockade. Such an expectation, such an object for the present blockade, is not in the contemplation of any man in or out of Great Britain. The British Secretary of State declares that the motive of the blockade is "to show the just resentment of Great Britain at the perfidious conduct of Prussia." On a former occasion the late Sir Horatio Nelson, since Lord Nelson, issued a proclamation under the orders of the British government, avowing as the motive of the illegitimate blockade of April, 1797, "that it was found right that Spain should no longer have any trade!" Never was a more unwarranted attempt to effect a blockade before seen. Yet the recent measure goes in some degree, on the same ground, but far exceeds it in the scale. It avows indeed the principle of "resentment." 'Tis an unwarrantable resentment against Prussia, which woefully more, and without law the peaceful suppliers of food and raw materials to Britain and the greatest consumers of their manufactures. Mr. Fox speaks of principle. His discerning mind will admit, that the principle of hostility to the seizers of the external dominions of King George the Third, cannot justify the ruin of the agriculture, trade, supplies and revenues of the greatest supporters of the home dominions of the same King. The principle of Blockade, now set up, is unknown to the laws and tribunals of Britain and America, which, as to the admiralty department, were identified in 1776. No learned, intelligent and upright admiralty judge can decree condemnations of neutral ships and cargoes of cotton and tobacco in voyages from the U. States to all enemies ports when there is no pretence of a design or hope of reduction by force. If the British judges could be supposed for a moment to treat the royal orders to cruisers, as law to neutrals, conscience and high judicial character must be abandoned forever, and the despotism of the British naval power must be palpable and consummate. The people of the United States will never submit to the condemnation of their crops, without one justifying section in the law of nations, or even in British municipal law. They will not consider their spoliators as "friends in peace." They are absolutely unable to bear the damming up of all the vents for their productions, because it has been found right, in G. Britain, that the rest of Europe (and by consequence America,) shall no longer have any trade, or because one continental power acted, or is alleged to have acted, with unnecessary hostility. Is the correct neutrality of America to be pretended to be punished at the pleasure of the British crown? Is that correctness to secure her no exemption from injustice and injury? Is Britain authorised certainly to ruin us, because she alleges that she apprehends ruin? Can Britain expect the repeal of our "Nicholson's law," if she acts thus? If we are to send no goods to the continent of Europe through England, nor directly to the ports of Europe, what is to become of our produce. It is well worth the while of G. Britain to ascertain, before it shall be too late, that we cannot endure the situation into which these unprecedented and illegitimate blockades will inevitably cast us.
We shall be compelled by imperious necessity to alter the state of things, by systematic legislation.
The naval despotism of G. Britain, and the ruin of our agriculture will force us to commence changes in our interior economy, which will be fatal to her manufactures.
We cannot buy of her, if we are despotically interdicted from the exportation of productions, not pretended to be contraband of war, to all ports not lawfully blockaded. Already have the Irish and other British linens, the fine cloths and hardware of Britain been sacrificed to insupportable impositions. America saw the right of search heretofore to the breach of written contracts with foreign passengers and sailors, and even with our native sailors. The powers, which made that law must conserve the rights and in-
terests of the American people. We have not made the present necessities of G. Britain. We have not influenced the councils or conduct of Prussia. We have often regretted, with Mr. Fox himself, the course of measures, which preceded the present state of things.
Let G. Britain, accusing others of the dereliction of principle, adhere to principle with those, who have not deviated from principle. It is the pride of America, that she has professed and practiced morality in politics. It will inspire her with firmness in the trials, which Providence may dispense.
We have a right to trade and to manufacture. We are not entirely an agricultural country. So far as we are deprived of our just share of external trade, we shall be led, nay, compelled to manufacture. But more imperious circumstances compel us to promote manufactures. Our crops will rot on our hands through the interruptions of our exports. Those crops are our only ways and means to pay for foreign manufactures. If illegitimate blockades keep them on our farms, we must recur, more and more, to household manufactures, to manufacturing machinery, to mills and slight, to increased duties on decreased imports, to reduced consumption, to prohibitions of such goods as are not made of our own raw materials, and to a thousand other devices, which an ingenious necessity (created by illegitimate blockades) will, from day to day, suggest. The middle and northern states are disposed to manufactures. The interruption of their navigation and trade will render manufactures necessary to the support of the inhabitants of their seaport towns. The southern states will be ready to agree, that no woollen cloths or blankets shall be imported from Great Britain, that cotton goods of American and foreign manufacture may be only used. The Americans must sacrifice the whole woollen manufacture of G. Britain (not to "resentment of British blockades," but) to the calm support of their own agriculture. We must and will sell our crops or we must and will cease to deal with those, who illegitimately prevent the sales of our crops. This is no light or imaginary business. It is not a matter of an obscure or intricate nature. It is not now thought of for the first time. It is not a local or party question in America. It concerns Louisiana and Maine; the coasts of the Atlantic, and the banks of the western rivers. We all know and feel that we must export and sell our crops, or we must manufacture and consume our crops. We ask favor of no foreign power. We refuse justice to no foreign nation. We can and will, under Providence, maintain our right to be industrious and to exist. Let England take care, no illegitimate conduct, on her part, gives "the name of action" to our indisputable capacities. If she desires that we shall supply her wants and consume the fruits of her industry, let her aid, by all the means in her power, the sales of those productions abroad, with the net proceeds of which we are alone enabled to pay her.
A FRIEND OF PEACE.
In presenting to the public the following letter of Thomas M. Randolph to his constituents, there is little occasion to claim for it an attentive perusal. The interesting developments of facts which it offers, the dignity of the topics discussed, and the able and dispassionate style which pervades the whole composition, will command the respectful attention of every reader.
City of Washington, } April 27, 1806. }
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
THE session of the national legislature having terminated on Monday the 21st inst. the period has arrived for me to communicate with you on the business which has been transacted by it, and on the state of public affairs. The superior interest you have no doubt taken in the subject which was discussed in secret, induces me to confine myself at this moment to that single point, that I may treat it more fully. I shall embrace other occasions of unfolding to you my sentiments, and the information I have obtained, upon the other important questions which have been agitated this winter. At present I shall endeavor to give as concise an account of that affair as may be consistent with clearness; perfectly aware that it will be most agreeable to you to receive information in the least compass which can insure facility of comprehension, and that you would not be much fonder of reading a letter unnecessarily lengthy than I should be of incurring unnecessary expense for printing. I must, notwithstanding, unavoidably exceed the very narrow limits usually assigned to communications of this nature; for to attain my end of conveying information, I must adopt in some manner the style of narrative, and that how much soever condensed will occupy space. The legislature on meeting found
that the nation was involved in serious difficulties with Spain and with Great Britain. Not through any error, misconduct, or neglect of the executive branch of the government, nor through any injustice, violence, or unlawful and insulting acts committed by our own citizens towards the subjects of those powers, or their authorities. But with Spain, from a difference of opinion about the boundaries of the country we had recently purchased from France, from a refusal to make reparation for the mischief done our citizens by the suspension of the right of deposit at New Orleans, in violation of the treaty between the two nations, and from the delay to satisfy our demand of indemnification to our merchants for the spoliations committed on them by Spanish privateers, and by the cruisers of France, within the jurisdiction of Spain; the former of which she had once acknowledged and assumed. With Great Britain, from recent violations of the established law of nations in regard to the persons and effects of our citizens, peaceably engaged in lawful commerce in the European seas, more flagrant, and of a nature more pernicious than common. The first of these alone will be the subject of my present communication.
The boundaries of Louisiana, which had been conveyed to the United States by France, exactly as she herself received it from Spain, had never been defined with any accuracy, from the circumstance of the country being almost entirely unsettled, and still remaining covered with forests. The United States claim, as the words of the treaty authorise, the whole space occupied by France previous to 1763, in which year, by the treaty of peace terminating that war, celebrated for the victory of Wolf and the defeat of Braddock, she ceded a part to Great Britain for the benefit of Spain, and the remaining part directly to Spain herself. During the occupancy of the country by France, Spain, with the connivance of the governor and military officers of that nation, arising out of the perfect understanding and strict friendship existing between the two governments, had extended her small detached settlements from the fringes of New Mexico far within the limits, at that time unquestioned and indisputable, of the French jurisdiction. The part ceded by France to Great Britain was wrested from that power by Spain, while in alliance with the United States, contending for their independence, and was confirmed to her by Great Britain at the peace of 1783, which established that independence. The descriptive language of the conveyance made by Spain to France, and by France to the United States, is precisely the same, and is unusually equivocal. It is this, "Louisiana, with the same extent that it now has in the hands of Spain, and that it had when France possessed it; and such as it should be after the treaties subsequently entered into between Spain and other states." The former might, perhaps, by these terms honestly insist on retaining, while the latter certainly might with reason claim, both the country, which was in a manner occupied by the small and distant colonies of Spain, when under the jurisdiction of France, and that also which had been ceded to Great Britain by France. For the cession to Great Britain was in fact part of the grant to Spain, as it was done for her benefit, and was made directly to Great Britain, only to save the trouble of a double conveyance. Again, the retrocession of the whole to France by Spain, in October 1800, was avowedly made on the principle of restoring what had been improperly given by the lavish bounty of a thoughtless monarch, to the detriment of the French nation. And the words, "treaties subsequently entered into," which were used in 1800, between France and Spain, seemed more clearly to apply to that part of ancient Louisiana, which had been yielded, by a particular treaty in 1795, to the United States, by Spain, than to that confirmed to her by Great Britain in 1783, upon a general peace.
An attempt was made on the part of the U. S. to settle these boundaries by negotiation. But the government of Spain, before inclined to displeasure, by the inclusion, in a revenue law passed by Congress, of part of the country in dispute, had recently become seriously irritated by the mischievous and un candid representations of her intriguing and ill-designing minister to the U. S. An obstinate adherence to her own construction, and an indecent display of indifference about an amicable decision of the question, was the consequence. The executive of the U. S. with praise worthy zeal and firmness, insisted on immediate possession of all that part of the disputed territory, which the interests of the country positively demanded. At the same time it offered to make a liberal relinquishment next the frontier of New Mexico, and wisely proposed to establish a tract of wilderness, three days journey through, to remain for ever unsettled, as a barrier between the two nations. The govern-
ment of Spain not only refused to accede to these terms, but obstinately declined making any proposal of its own for accommodation. Nor did it show any better disposition towards conciliation and justice in its conduct upon the renewal at the same time of the demands of indemnification for losses sustained, by the denial of a right secured by treaty, and for spoliations on commerce. The justice of the claim of compensation for seizures by Spanish armed vessels had been acknowledged, in an agreement between the two nations, which was ratified in full on the part of Spain, but objected to by the Senate of the U. S. because express provision was not included for the illegal condemnations made in Spanish ports, in favor of French cruisers, and was postponed in consequence, until the time allowed for our ratification had elapsed, and thus thrown open again to her caprice. The confirmation of his agreement was refused without inadmissible conditions, and the negotiation failed entirely. It is said that during some informal conversations which took place soon after at Paris, the following circumstances came to light. That the connection between France and Spain was of such an intimate nature as to render hostile interference on the part of France, in favor of Spain, in case of a rupture with the U. S. a matter of course—that Spain was prevented by France from making indemnity for American property seized unlawfully by French subjects, and sold in places under her jurisdiction upon the ground that France alone was liable for such claims, and that they had been relinquished by the agreement entered into between the two nations at Paris in September 1800, which was altered by the Senate of the U. S. in February 1801, and finally ratified by France in the month of July of the same year—that there had been a secret promise on the part of France to Spain, after the conveyance of Louisiana to the former, in October 1800, and previous to the sale made of the country to the U. S. in April 1803, that the part conquered by Spain from G. Britain should not be included in the retrocession, or a construction to that effect had been given to the words of the treaty of October 1800, which have been cited.
The difference had reached this point, when the executive of the U. S. determined to proceed no farther, but to lay the matter before the legislature.
In the mean time the conduct of the Spanish officers who loitered an unwarrantable time at New Orleans, under the pretext of private affairs, became intolerably insolent and injurious to the interests of the U. S. The people of the territory were assured by them that Spain meant to revive her claim to the whole country, and that she would certainly, if it was not quietly restored to her, employ all her own power and the auxiliary force of France to wrest it from the hands of the American government. The accommodation of the minds of the French and Spanish inhabitants to the American political and judicial system, was thus obstructed. The partisans of France and Spain among them, were encouraged in their views, and emboldened in their designs. The hopes of those who had enjoyed lucrative privileges under the Spanish government were revived. An idea, strange and inadmissible, as it involved a ruinous departure from primary federative principles, was early suggested by their malevolent ingenuity: That the agreement by which Louisiana was ceded had been violated and annulled on the part of the U. S. inasmuch as it required the immediate admission of the whole ceded country into the federal union, as one sovereign co-state; which admission had been refused by Congress—A pretension involving the absurd consequence of a state equal in territory to twenty others, and using a language different from all the rest: apparently embracing besides the flagitious scheme of engrossing to the state government the whole unappropriated lands of the territory purchased, and their robbing the U. S. of the fund destined to discharge the debt assumed. Discontent, clamors, dispirit for American authorities; breaches of the peace, quickly followed. At length aggressions of lawless parties took place upon the territories of the U. S. within the boundary established by the treaty with Spain of 1795, or in the parts which were relinquished by her upon the evacuation of New Orleans. At last it became necessary to command the departure of the Spanish officers from the American territory, and orders were accordingly issued to that effect by the Executive of the U. S. some time during the last summer. Those orders were reluctantly and tardily obeyed, and still further troublesome and irritating circumstances have since arisen from the ill-humor produced by them. All these unpleasant occurrences might with some justice be attributed to the inimical policy of Spain, and each served to swell the account of grievances, & to increase the indignation against her. In addition heavy duties were exacted at Mobile from American vessels, on their
passage out and in, to Fort Stoddy and the settlements on the Tombigbee. Even the military stores of the U. S. for the supply of the garrisons in that quarter, were made subject to this exaction.
The asperity of these circumstances was, in some degree, softened immediately before the meeting of Congress, by a voluntary offer on the part of Spain to assume payment of the Spanish spoliations, if the U. S. would agree to relinquish all claim for those committed by French subjects within her jurisdiction. Some mitigation too proceeded from a spontaneous order to her cruisers to respect our flag wherever it might be met, and to her courts, to observe scrupulously that principle of the treaty between the two nations, which protects from seizure the property of enemies on board the ships of either.
In this state the legislature found the relations of the U. S. with Spain.
The plan recommended by the select committee of the House of Representatives, to which was referred that part of the message of the President, was simply the augmentation of the army, in order to enable the Executive to repel and to chastize the aggressions of Spain. It was afterwards acknowledged that an addition of four thousand men was contemplated. The supporters of this proposition considered the aggressions which had been committed, in a more serious light than the House in general was disposed to do. The majority looked on them rather as instances of riotous conduct, incident to an approaching or recent change of jurisdiction, than as actual hostilities, or even as serious national insults. They were not disposed to afford to the world the spectacle, of the calm legislature of an agricultural people, imitating those thoughtless animals who rush down precipices to avoid the idle buzz and the feeble stings of insects. They were able to appreciate the emphatic tone of the message, for they were aware that it would ill become the chief magistrate to extenuate or palliate even the slightest offences against the dignity of the republic. They knew that the authority, whose duty it is to preserve order and enforce the laws, could not be expected to speak feebly about infringements of law or violations of order, and they felt that the executive branch is more naturally the exciter than the moderator of the legislature. The term chastise , used in the report of the committee, gave an alarm, for it seemed equivalent to offensive war, for which their minds were not prepared. Regardless of the declaration of contrary views, made by the supporters of the proposition, and of the different tenor of the preceding language of the report, they persisted in considering it as a step which would produce the war it was their desire to avert. It could not be denied there was reason to believe that Spain, having full reliance on the strength of her ally, felt no disinclination to hostilities, but she had as yet collected no force on our frontier, unless four hundred men sent from the Havana to Mobile might be considered as such; nor did it appear to be easy for her to do it, from the state of her troops in America, and the occupation of the sea by the English. The measure proposed would compel her to make all possible exertions, immediately to strengthen herself on our frontier. In the actual temper of the two nations, it was deemed unsafe by those who had yet strong hopes, and had conceived particular views of reconciliation, to trust large bodies of men, with hostile feelings in sight of each other, even if the United States could collect them immediately on their part. And that was known to be altogether hopeless in the way proposed, from the slow progress which had been made in all former attempts to recruit. It could not be reasonably expected that even by increasing ten fold the bounty for insisting, the number desired could be obtained in twelve months. This proposition was accordingly rejected.
(To be continued.)

CONSTITUTION, OR ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, OF THE MECHANIC'S BANK OF BALTIMORE.
To all unto whom these presents shall come, or in any wise concern.
BE IT KNOWN AND MADE MANIFEST THAT We, the subscribers, have formed a company or limited Partnership, and do hereby associate and agree with each other, to conduct business in the manner hereinafter specified and described, by and under the name and style of "The President and Directors of the Mechanics' Bank of Baltimore"—And we do hereby mutually covenant and agree, that the following are and shall be the fundamental articles of this our association and agreement with each other, by which we, and all persons who at any time hereafter may transact business with the said company, shall be bound and concluded.
Article I. The Capital Stock of the said company shall be limited to ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS, money of the United States; to consist of forty thousand shares of twenty-five dollars each, four thousand of which shares shall be reserved until the legislature may incorporate the company, and may be subscribed for by the state, if desired by the legislature thereof; this reservation, however, shall not continue for more than two years from the first election of directors; one tenth, or two dollars and fifty cents on each share, shall be paid to the commissioners at the time of subscribing; two tenths, or five dollars more to the directors, if chosen, and if not, to the present commissioners in Baltimore, in sixty days thereafter; and two tenths, or five dollars more, to be paid on each share to the directors in Baltimore, in one hundred and twenty days after the allotted time for subscribing; and the bank to commence its operation when two hundred thousand dollars are paid in; the remaining half of all shares subscribed shall be paid in the same ratio as the before mentioned payments are directed to be made, and at such time or times as the directors may appoint; but no further payment shall be required without first giving four months notice in the public papers of this city; and the said stock shall be subscribed for, and the subscription shall be opened in the city of Baltimore, on Monday, the twenty-third day of June next ensuing, under the direction of the commissioners hereinafter named, viz. William Jessop, William Price, Christopher Raburg, George Warner, Adam Welch, James Mosher, Adam Roerden, William Krebs, Robert Carey Long, Jacob Hoffman, Robert Stewart, William Gwynn, Owen Dorsey, and George Decker, or a majority of them; and the commissioners aforesaid shall open the subscription books at 9 o'clock, A. M. and they shall continue open until 4 o'clock, P. M. and shall remain open between those hours for one day at least, and for the term of three days, unless sooner filed; and if it should so happen, that more than the stipulated number of shares should be subscribed on the first day, then the commissioners aforesaid are to apportion them among the subscribers, by deducting from the highest subscription until they are reduced to a proper number; or if more persons subscribe than there are shares, then the commissioners are
to cast lots to decide to whom they shall belong; and the commissioners will, on deciding to whom the shares may belong, issue receipts to the different stockholders for the monies received by them at the time of subscribing; these receipts, with the original subscription, shall be deemed good evidence of the quantity of stock to which each subscriber shall be entitled in this company; but no person or persons, bodies corporate or otherwise, shall be permitted to subscribe on the first day on which the books are opened for more than fifty shares: and if the stock be not subscribed on the first day, the books are to remain open on the second day, on the same terms as on the first; but if they are not filled on the second day, then the commissioners may permit any person or persons, bodies corporate or otherwise, to subscribe for any number of shares, until the whole number is complete; and should it so happen, that a part of the shares in this bank shall not be subscribed for during the three first days allotted for the books to be kept open, the commissioners shall appoint a place or places for the books to remain open for receiving subscriptions, until directors are elected; who shall, as soon as convenient thereafter, make the necessary arrangements therefor.
Article II. The affairs of the company shall be managed by fifteen directors and a president, whose place, if chosen from among their number, shall be supplied by that body; nine of which directors shall be practical mechanics or manufacturers; and eight of the directors and the President shall form a board or quorum for transacting all the business of the company. Ordinary discounts may be done by the president and any five of the directors. In case of sickness or necessary absence of the president, his place may be supplied by any director, whom he by writing under his hand may nominate for that purpose; and the directors who may be appointed at the first election shall hold their seats until the first Monday in June, one thousand eight hundred and seven. The directors, from and after that period, shall be elected for one year by the stockholders for the time being, and each director shall be a stockholder at the time of his election, and shall cease to be a director if he should cease to be a stockholder: and no director of any other bank shall at the same time be a director of this bank; nor shall any person be a director in this bank, who is a partner in trade with a director in any other bank; and the number of votes to which each stockholder shall be entitled, shall be in proportion to the stock he may hold, as follows, viz. For one share, and not exceeding two shares, one vote each; for every two shares above two, and not exceeding ten, one vote; for every four shares above ten and not exceeding thirty, one vote; for every six shares above thirty and not exceeding sixty, one vote; for every eight shares above sixty and not exceeding one hundred, one vote, and for every ten shares above that number, one vote; but no person or persons, body politic or otherwise, shall be entitled to a greater number than thirty votes. No share or shares shall confer a right of suffrage, which shall not have been held four calendar months previous to the day of election, (except at the first election); all stockholders actually resident within the United States and none other, may vote at elections by ballot, in person or by proxy, which in all elections, after the first, is to be made in such form as the board of directors may appoint. None but stockholders, being citizens of the United States, and residing within the city of Baltimore or precincts thereof, shall be eligible as a director or president.
Article III. A general meeting of the stockholders of the company shall be held on the first Monday in June in every year (except the president) at such place as the board of directors shall appoint, by giving four weeks notice, to be published in three of the newspapers printed in the city of Baltimore, for the purpose of electing directors for the ensuing year, who shall take their seats at the board the succeeding day, & immediately proceed to elect the president: But for the present year for the more immediate organization of the business of the company, the election shall be held on Monday the 25th day of August next ensuing, under the direction of the commissioners appointed to receive subscriptions in the city of Baltimore.
Article IV. The board of directors are hereby fully empowered to make, revise, alter or annul all such rules, orders, bye-laws and regulations for the government of the company, and that of their officers, servants and affairs, as they, or a majority of them, shall from time to time think expedient, not inconsistent with law or these articles of association; & to use, employ and dispose of the joint stock, funds or property of the said company, subject only to the restrictions hereinafter mentioned, as to them, or a majority of them may seem expedient.
Article V. If any stockholder shall fail to pay his, her, or their instalments, to the amount of twelve dollars and fifty cents upon each share, at the time or times, and in manner herein before specified, such stockholder shall forfeit to the use of the company, all money paid antecedent to such failure or default. But no forfeiture shall take place after twelve dollars and fifty cents on each share shall have been paid; but as it is requisite that means should be taken to secure the regular payment of after calls, therefore, if any stockholder shall fail to make regular payment of any instalment or call, after twelve dollars and fifty cents have been paid,
such stockholder shall not be entitled to dividend, until such instalment or call shall be made good; and the dividend thereafter to be paid to such stockholder, (as well upon the money by him regularly paid, as upon the money paid after default) shall be calculated only from the time when said last instalment was made good.
Article VI. All bills, bonds, notes, and every contract and engagement on behalf of the said company, shall be signed by the president, and countersigned or attested by the cashier of the company; and the funds of the company shall in no case be held responsible for any contract or engagement whatsoever, unless the same shall be so signed and countersigned, or attested as aforesaid.

Article VII. The books, papers, correspondence and funds of the company, shall at all times be subject to the inspection of the directors.

The dividends of the profits of the company, or of so much of the said profits as shall be deemed expedient and proper, shall be declared half-yearly during the months of May and November, and be paid in the months of June and December in every year, and shall from time to time, be determined by a majority of the said directors, at a meeting to be held for that purpose, and shall, in no case exceed the amount of the net profits actually acquired by the company; so that the capital stock of the company shall never be impaired by dividends; and at the expiration of every three years, a dividend of surplus profits shall be made. But the directors shall be at liberty to retain at least one per cent. upon the capital, for the time being, as a fund for future contingencies.

Article X. The company shall in no case be concerned in any article but not s, bills of exchange, mortgages, stock of the United States, or tuition; except in the case of debts due to the bank, then they shall be fully justifiable in making any kind of security, which they can obtain.

Article XI. No transfer in the Mechanics' Bank of Baltimore, shall be considered as binding upon the company, unless made in a book or books, kept for that purpose by the company, but may be transferred by the holder in person, or by power of attorney at said bank; but all debts actually due to the company, by a stockholder offering to transfer, must be discharged before such transfer shall be made; and it is further agreed, that any stockholder who shall transfer in manner aforesaid, all his stock or shares in this company, to any other person or persons whatever, shall cease to be a member of this company, and that any person or persons whatever, who shall accept a transfer of any stock or shares in this company, shall become, and be a member of this company, according to these articles of association.
Article XII. If the president, or any director or other officer belonging to this bank shall privately be concerned, directly or indirectly in discounting or purchasing of any note or notes, at more than lawful interest, and such information be given and supported, to the satisfaction of a majority of the board or quorum of the directors, his or their seat or seats or office, shall be vacated, and the directors shall fill up such vacancy or vacancies, to serve until the next annual election.
Article XIII. The president and each director, before he enters upon the duties of his office, shall take the following oath or affirmation, as the case may be: "I (_____ ) do solemnly swear or affirm, that I will impartially, faithfully, diligently and honestly execute the duties of _____ of the Mechanics' Bank of Baltimore, conformably to the constitution or articles of association of the same, and the trusts reposed in me, to

And in case of any suit at law, the president shall sign his appearance upon the writ, or file common bail thereto, it being expressly understood and declared, that all persons dealing with the said company do agree to these terms and are to be bound thereby.
Article XVII. If the directors of this bank shall at any time wittingly and knowingly make or declare any dividend which shall impair the capital stock, all the directors present at the making or declaring such dividend and consenting thereto, shall be liable in their individual capacities to the company for the amount or proportion of said capital stock so divided by the directors; and each director who shall be present at the making or declaring such dividend, shall be deemed to have consented thereto, unless he shall immediately enter his dissent in writing on the minutes of the proceedings of the board, and give public notice to the stockholders, that such dividend has been declared.
Article XVIII. These articles of agreement shall be published twice a week during three weeks in two or more of the newspapers printed in the city of Baltimore: And for the further information of all persons who may transact business with, or in any manner give credit to this company, every bond, bill, note or other instrument or contract, by the effect or terms of which the company may be charged or held liable with the payment of money, shall specially declare in such form as a board of the directors shall prescribe, that payment shall be made out of the joint funds of "The Mechanics' Bank of Baltimore," according to the present article of association, and not otherwise; a copy of the "16th article" of this association, shall be inserted in the bank book of every person depositing money or other valuable property with the company for safe custody, or a printed copy shall be delivered to every such person before any such deposit shall be received from him or her: And it is hereby expressly declared, that no engagement can be legally made in the name of the said company, unless it contains a limitation or restriction to the effect above recited: And the company hereby expressly disavow all responsibility for any debt or engagement which may be made in their name, not containing a limitation or restriction to the effect aforesaid.

CHASE'S TRIAL.
This day is Published.
By SAMUEL H. SMITH.
TRIAL OF SAMUEL CHASE,
An ASSOCIATE JUSTICE of the Supreme Court of the United States,
IMPEACHED By the House of Representatives, for HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, before the Senate of the United States.
Taken in short hand, By SAMUEL H. SMITH & THOMAS LLOYD.
In Two large Octavo Volumes—im Boards, price—to subscribers four dollars and a half—and to non subscribers five dollars.
A much greater delay has been incurred in the publication of this trial than the Editor contemplated. He has, however, the satisfaction of saying that no effort has been omitted by him to give it to the public at an earlier period. The delay has arisen from the revision of the speeches of the Managers and Counsel. The publication might long since have been made in a less perfect dress; but it was deemed highly desirable that in a case, which, independently of its own importance, might be a precedent in future times, to sacrifice time rather than precision. The work now appears before the public, with the expeditious of the editor that it will be considered as meriting the character of an impartial, comprehensive and faithful statement of facts. All the speeches have been revised, and inserted at length, in connection with whatever else formed a part of the trial.
Editors of other prints will confer a benefit by inserting this advertisement a few times in their papers. March 24—

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, JUNE 13.
By the report of the joint committee of the two Houses of the Legislature of Massachusetts there appears to have been no choice made of Governor by the people. The committee state that the whole number of votes returned for Governor are 75,217: that various inform-
alities and misstatements exist in the returns, which deducted leave 73,410 good votes, of which 36,706 are necessary to a choice. That Mr. Strong has 36,092 and Mr. Sullivan 36,031 votes. They further state that 71,557 good votes have been given for Lieutenant Governor, of which Mr. Heath, the republican candidate, having 36,500, is consequently elected.
If this report shall be sanctioned by the legislature, it will devolve on the two branches, in joint meeting, to designate the Governor out of the four highest candidates, who are Caleb Strong, James Sullivan, J. Sullivan, and William Heath; and there is no doubt that Mr. Sullivan will be selected, and the entire government thereby be transferred to the republicans.
A number of the citizens of Richmond have given a public dinner to Captain Stephen Decatur, Jr. "To testify their high and lively sense of the services he has rendered his country during the late naval operations in the Mediterranean."
GREAT ECLIPSE OF THE SUN. On the 16th of the present month (Monday) the sun will be totally eclipsed, and visible in all these latitudes, in the air be clear. Total darkness will take place a quarter after 11 o'clock. So rare a phenomenon is not happen-
ed since the settlement of this country. Indeed, we recollect not to have read of but one instance of the kind. Piny mentions a total eclipse of the sun, and at the same time he says, there was an eruption of Vesuvius, and an earth-
quake. New York Barometer. Charleston, May 29. Extract of a letter from Havana, dated the 24th inst.
"We have nothing new here except a late royal order from Spain, ordering this government to exclude all American trade, except those particu-
larly privileged, and even to lay an additional duty of 14 per cent. on such privileged vessels; but it is generally believed that they will allow the trade as it now is, and add the 14 per cent. on all goods, provisions, &c. which will make in the whole 43 and a half per cent. amounting to a prohibition. Should it take place, and it is generally sup-
posed it will, I hope the Americans will not suffer themselves to be so duped, but relinquish the trade until they are brought to a proper way of thinking. At present, occasioned by the existing duties, much money must be lost to the adventurers to this port." MASSACRE AT CAPE FRANCOIS. New York, June 9. We learn from captain Dodge, of the schooner Mary Ann, who arrived here yesterday, in 16 days from Cape Francois, that on the 14th and 15th of May a general massacre of all the re-
maining white inhabitants of Cape Francois took place, and it was said, general-
ly, throughout that part of this ill-fated island under the dominion of Dessalines. The particulars of this tragical event are briefly these: Some time previous to the 14th of May, the greater part of the white French inhabitants of Cape Francois, were ordered under some pretence to a fort about 3 leagues from the town, and there confined. On the night of the 14th the residue of these unfortunate people, amounting to about 150, were strangled in their beds by order of the Emperor; the blood-thirsty villain, not content with this, plunged their bayonets in their bodies, and mangled them in a horrid manner. They then plundered the houses of those unfortunate people who had thus fallen victims to the avarice and cruelty of the black em-
peror. On the 15th it was reported at the Cape, that those of the inhabitants who had been sent to the fort, had been put to death in the most cruel manner, and their dead bodies treated with the greatest indignity! LONDON, APRIL 24. THE SOCIETY OF SHIP OWNERS OF GREAT BRITAIN. At a meeting of the committee of Ship Owners for the port of London, held the 10th day of April, 1806, at the London Tavern, to take into consideration such measures as may be legally adopted, to prevent any further suspen-
Resolved unanimously, That it is the opinion of this committee, that no necessity exists for investing the gov-
ernors of the British West India Islands in future with authority to suspend at their discretion the navigation laws of Great Britain in favour of American or other neutral vessels; and that to in-
troduce such a principle into an act of indemnity, is novel and dangerous, as it will inevitably tend to establish a system highly injurious to the maritime in-
terests of the country, and lessen that responsibility which otherwise would attach upon those persons who may advise any infringement of the provisions of those statutes. Resolved unanimously, That it is the opinion of this committee, that the frequent resuscitations of the navigation laws of the country, have been highly injurious to its shipping interest, which is not in so flourishing a state, or so adequately or profitably employed as it would have been, had not such facilities been afforded to neutral vessels by the frequent suspension of the navigation acts.
Resolved unanimously, That a petition be presented to both Houses of Parlia-
ment, praying that the provisions of the navigation acts may be strictly enforced in future; and also that an enquiry may be made into the actual state of the shipping & navigation of Great Britain and Ireland; and also as to the expediency of altering or revis-
ing the alien and other duties, so as to place British ships on an equal footing with foreign vessels; in order to lessen these evils, which have resulted from the great increased foreign competition British ship owners have had, unfortunately for the general interest of this country, to contend with.
Resolved unanimously, That a sub-committee be appointed to prepare such petition; and that she same be submitted to the consideration of this committee at their next meeting, to be held at this place on Monday next, at one o'clock precisely.
Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this meeting be given to the chairman, for his attention to the general interests of the British ship owners, and in particular for his conduct on this occasion.
New-York, June 10. Our Jamaica papers by the Phillips-
burgh are to the 14th of May inclusive. They furnish a few articles of marine intelligence, and the following letters from Aruba on the subject of Miranda's expedition.
Extract of a letter from Aruba to a merchant in Kingston, Jam. dated 3d May, 1806. "The celebrated Miranda, a native of Caracas, has arrived here with a large American ship, and 2 armed schooners having on board 280 men, destined to kindle the torch of revolution on the continent. They have a considerable number of arms and ammunition, 10 colonels, all the officers of a new administration and municipality. An embargo was immediately laid on here for 8 days. The greatest part of his people are Frenchmen."
"This morning arrived a schooner from Curacoa, with the intelligence that they are at anchor in the island Bonaire, from thence they have sent their missionaries to preach the new propaganda and wait for an answer. Fifty thousand men are said to be already col-
lected for this enterprise, which, it is not known yet, where it will begin." Another letter from a gentleman of same date. "I have to acquaint you, Dear Bro-
ther, with my arrival here yesterday. I am very sorry that I was not here a fortnight ago, else I should have had the pleasure of seeing the conqueror of the Main, Don Miranda, with his staff and administration; he is convinced of the success of his enterprise. I wish it for Jamaica's sake with respect to the great commercial relation, which it will be furnished with—He is now at Bonaire, from whence he has sent his deputies to prepare his party to receive him." A Kingston paper of the 10th of May, contains the following interesting article: KINGSTON, May 10. "Arrived his majesty's ship Echo, captain Muddle, from Aruba. The Echo sailed from Aruba, with the expedition under general Miranda, but parted from the Leander on the same evening in a squall, and fell to leeward of Curacoa; she therefore returned to Aruba, and took in a cargo of mules for Kingston."
District of Columbia, Washington county, to wit: IN the case of JOHN SUTER, an insolvent Debtor confined in the prison of Washington county for debt. Notice is hereby given to the creditors of the said John Suter, that on the 23d day of June inst. at the capitol in the court room at the hour of 3 o'clock A.
