From the Gazette of the United States.
TOM PAINE, Invited to this country by his Right Wor-thy and affectionate Friend, T. JEFFERSON. No. VIII.
We have seen what are the views of Mr. Jefferson and his party relative to the constitution of the United States. Not an essential part of it is to remain unimpaired.
The magisterial chair of the presidency is to be converted into a whirligig, a play-thing for boys: each demagogue must have an opportunity to step in, take a swing, and then stand out of the way till all have had their turns in the sport. This is called the principle of rotation in office.
The senatorial branch of the legislature is to suffer an innovation no less inconsistent with the principles of our Government: an innovation which if made, as the sect intend, will render the senate a nullity, by destroying the balance for the preservation of which that body was wisely constituted, and without which the government, in its present representative form cannot exist.
The judicial department, by making the judges elective at short intervals, is to be rendered worse than merely useless: It is to be made an instrument of tyranny and vengeance in the hands of a majority of the Legislature. Let this great work of reformation so happily commenced, be once completed, and we shall speedily hear a voice from Virginia, " The Philistines be upon thee, Sampson! " Then indeed we may awake; but the strength of the union will be gone: it will depart with the present constitution.
There are men among those who wish to preserve this government, and who are consequently opposed to the destructive policy of Mr. Jefferson and his sect, who yet imagine that the source of all his mischievous schemes is confined to his head, and that his heart is innocent of the ruin with which we are threatened. These are kindly disposed to ascribe all his errors to the childish whims and visionary dreams of a speculating philosopher, whose head has been turned by contemplating man as advancing with rapid strides to a state of perfection, in which every one, by a kind of instinct will become a moralist & statesman, in which self-government will be the only government necessary to the safety and happiness of society: A state of things in which, if any individual, "in moments of error and alarm," should stray from the path of duty, nothing more will be necessary to reclaim him, than that he should be arraigned (not at the bar of an anglo monarchico-aristocratic judge, but) at the bar of PUBLIC REASON . Men who characteristically hold these opinions of Mr. Jefferson's conduct imagine that he wishes to get rid of our present constitution, and to substitute one by which the Senate shall be newly elected at the end of every two years, and by which the judges shall be rendered passive instruments of vengeance in the hands of vindictive majorities, for no other reason than that, in the integrity of his heart, he really considers the senate as too aristocratical for the benefit of the country, too widely distinct from the other branch of the legislature; and the judiciary department as too independent of the legislature for the due and faithful execution of law and justice.
Such opinions of the chief magistrate of the country, when none other can be entertained without impeaching his heart and his integrity are honorable to the disinterested of those who hold them,—Time was when we also believed that the worst of Mr. Jefferson's character was a judgment perverted by extravagant theories, and beclouded by the mists or of philosophism.—Our opinion has been changed; and we shall now take the liberty of going a little out of our way for the purpose of shewing on what we ground the conviction that Mr. Jefferson's object, in the charges which have been contemplated, is nothing less than to enervate the general government and prepare it to become an easy prey to the aspiring ambition of a large and powerful state.
If such a system as Jefferson and Paine, and Eppes, and the rest of the fraternity are contending for, would really prove more beneficial to the United States than the one under which we have hitherto lived and flourished, which has "thus far kept us free and firm," it is certainly rational to conclude that the same would be beneficial in Virginia. If Mr. Jefferson wish-
es for these innovations in the constitution because he thinks they will promote the strength and prosperity of the Union, he would doubtless endeavor to introduce similar arrangements into the government of his own state, the prosperity of which cannot be less dear to him than that of the union. His honesty then may be tested by this criterion: If he wishes to place the Senate of Virginia upon the same footing as the house of representatives, to reduce their time of service to the same period, and to abolish the system of classing them; and if he wishes the judges of Virginia to hold their offices at the pleasure of the legislature, and to be elected for a period of years, we may then venture to pronounce that he is more weak than wicked; for he has never been suspected of harbouring sinister designs against the strength and permanency of the government of that state. On the contrary, should it appear that he has wished to widen the distinction between the two branches of the legislature of Virginia, and to place the judicial department above all dependence upon the legislature, even for a law to pay their salaries, we shall then be compelled to seek some other motive than the public good to account for such contrary views relative to the government of the United States.
In the Notes on Virginia, Query XIII and reply, will be found, in part, what Mr. Jefferson denominates the CAPITAL DEFECTS of the constitution of Virginia. He makes many grievous complaints of the construction of the Senate, as not sufficiently aristocratic, though the senators are chosen for four years. He is highly displeased that the senate and the electors of the senate do not constitute a different interest from the rest of the community.
"The Senate, says he, is, by its constitution too homogeneous with the house of delegates, being chosen by the same electors, at the same time and out of the same subjects, the choice falls of course on men of the same description. The purpose of establishing different houses is to introduce the influence of different interests, or different principles. In some of the American states, the delegates and senators are so chosen, as that the first represent the persons, and the second the property* of the state; but with us wealth and wisdom have an equal chance for admission into both houses. We do not, therefore, derive from the separation of our legislature into two houses, those benefits which a proper complication of principles is capable of producing, and those which alone can compensate for the evils produced by their distinctions."
In all this there appears no symptoms of a desire "to reduce the time of service of the senators to the same period with the house of representatives,"—nor to "introduce the same spirit that pervades the lower house."—He here contends manfully for a permanent separation of the two orders of subjects, as he is pleased to term them; that the wealthy may be represented by the senate, and the wise by the house of delegates; and grieves that wisdom has an equal chance with wealth for admission into the senate.† He is even offended that those who are simply wise without being wealthy should be allowed to meet at the same time and place as those whom he wishes to have formed into a privileged order , for the purpose of chusing their representatives, because he says the choice will necessarily fall on men of the same description.
How is all this to be accounted for, without involving a conviction that Mr. Jefferson wishes an energetic government for Virginia, while he is endeavouring to relax and debilitate, and democratize and destroy that of the United States? It is well known that the manner in which President Bonaparte became master of all the republics of Europe, was by first prescribing to them amendments to their constitutions, by persuading them that he was about to execute "a great work of reformation, which was happily commenced." President Jefferson is philosopher enough to know that the same causes will produce the same effects in all countries; and he has attachment enough to his own native State to wish to see it in a situation to profit by the imbecility which his measures must inevitably bring upon the national government.
* This by the way is egregiously untrue. There is nothing of the kind, nor ever was, in any of the American States. † For some of these reflections we are indebted to the author of "The Pretensions of Thomas Jefferson to the Presidency, &c."
For the same reason that Mr. Jefferson would place the senate of Virginia above the influence of the mass of subjects, he would, also render the judges of Virginia, & the governor also, completely independent of all other authorities, not only as it respects the tenure of their offices, but as it respects their very compensations. So far from "vesting their appointment in the legislature, and rendering them elective for a period of years," as is to be the case in the general government, he declares that the "legislative, executive, and judiciary powers should be so divided and balanced, that no one could transcend its legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." Such a division, he says, was intended in the constitution of Virginia; but he adds, "No barrier was provided between the several powers. The judiciary and executive members were left dependent on the legislature for their subsistence in office, and some of them for their continuance in it. If, therefore, the legislature assumes executive and judiciary powers, no opposition is likely to be made; nor, if made, can it be effectual."
Pray Mr. Jefferson, why not effectual? Because the judiciary and executive members are left dependent on the legislature for their subsistence in office; consequently, should the legislature refuse to make appropriations for the salaries of the officers in the other departments, those officers would be compelled to submit to the will of the legislature or to retire from office; therefore "all the powers of government, legislative, executive and judiciary result to the legislative body," which, in this way may "transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others."—This, Sir, was thought, by the constitutionalists, during the last session of congress to be very good reasoning, though they were not quite so scrupulous and squeamish as yourself. They were content that the JUDICIARY MEMBERS should depend upon the legislature for their compensations, but not for their offices. Thus far they wish to have the legislative powers "effectually checked and restrained," as the constitution directs. You and your friends, however, were pleased to order the matter differently, and to declare that the judges should be left dependent upon the legislature, not merely for their subsistence in office, which in Virginia you think a CAPITAL DEFECT, but even for their continuance in it. Now it seems that in consequence with this, you resolve to have the constitution itself changed for the purpose of increasing this dependence, by "vesting the very appointment of the judges in congress, and by rendering them elective for a period of years."
Such inconsistencies are to too gross and palpable to be reconciled with a belief of integrity in the man who is guilty of them. We leave them for those to reconcile who would persuade us that no designs are formed against the continuance of our present government and the union of these states.
The changes contemplated are nothing short of an entire revolution, and if effected will place our government as entirely at the mercy of every disorderly mob which may be disposed to take the trouble of managing public affairs, as ever that of France was, in the most dreadful periods of the revolution. Upon the supposition that such are the designs of our present administration, and upon this alone, can we rationally account for Mr. Jefferson's desire to bring Tom Paine to this country. If it be a point settled that we can no longer live under the constitution on which forms the glory of the life of Washington, and the most elegant pillar in the temple of his fame, if we must have a revolution, let us join with our president in hastening the arrival of Paine. In destroying a form of government he is an accomplished, and experienced workman. In this he "has steadily laboured and with as much effect as any man living." He was found serviceable to their object states when a revolution was their object. That done, he retired to seek in Europe his proper element, "the tempestuous sea of liberty," and from France calumniated Washington and reviled that constitution which he thought calculated to put an end to popular commotions in this country. Upon leaving the United States, he attempted to exercise his "useful labours" in England, his native country; but as the nation had no pressing occasion for a revolution he was compelled to save his neck by abandoning his country. He next betook himself to France where a revolution had been commenced, which for a series of years afforded him an opportunity of basking and wallowing in the confusion of devastation, bloodshed, rapine and murder in which his foul delights. Now, alas! in his old age this comfort also forsaken him. The government of France has again become tranquil, and Paine, of course, has again become unhappy. He
† See notes on Virginia, Query XIII, and answer.

once more turns to the United States, with a hope that they are prepared to begin anew "the great work of reformation." Jefferson meets him with open arms, informs him that it is "happily commenced," offers a trigate to bring him over, prays for a continuance of his useful labors, and assures him of his high esteem and affectionate attachment. Such, Americans, are the signs of the times!

Extract of a letter from a respectable merchant in Lisbon to his correspondent in New York, dated Sept. 10.
"The sudden departure of the French minister, which we mentioned to you in our last, has hitherto been productive of no bad consequences whatever. It is said that General Lecourbe is to supply his place.
"After the declaration of war against France by Algiers, it has been general supposed that something effectual would have been done on the part of the former to curb the insolence of the Barbary Powers generally, and to reduce their system of warfare to something more like that established in Europe. It now appears that this will not be the case; France having made peace with Algiers for herself alone, and nearly upon the old footing.
"Your frigates continue to cruise and convoy in the Mediterranean; which, however, has not prevented the Tripolitans from picking up two ships laden with West India produce, which they have conducted to Messina."

"France will not make a Commercial Treaty with England: the latter takes it in dudgeon, and appearances look lowering—that is to say, something like a rupture."

SIR, If the information contained in the inclosed Circular from the Consul General of the United States for Morocco, has not reached you, be so kind as to give it publicity. Also, that an order was issued by this government prohibiting the importation of cordage into Portugal for home consumption. It is allowed to be deposited in tranqueia (in free port) for exportation.

OF THE HAVANNA.
Since publishing the list of officers of the
United States resident abroad, in which the consulate of the Havanna is stated as "vacant," we are authorised to mention, for the information of those who have still existing affairs in that quarter, that Mr. VINCENT GRAY was appointed by Mr. Morton, lately consul at that place, as provisional Agent for the remaining concerns of that department; and that so late, as the 19th of last month, Mr. Gray continued in charge thereof, and of all the former records and documents of the consulate.
From the above source we are, also informed, that advices from the Havanna, so late as the 10th of last month state, on unquestionable authority, that the count de Mopox (commonly called count Jaruco from the family title) had obtained from the court of Spain, whither he had recently gone from the Havanna, the privilege of introducing into that port one hundred and forty thousand barrels of Flour . This exclusive privilege, though it must necessarily be principally supplied from the United States, is a finishing blow to our regular commercial intercourse with the Havanna. The amount of the privilege extends to, at least, two and a half years supply of that article.
The same advices make no mention of the particular admission of our vessels with stock and lumber, as recently reported by an arrival at the eastward.

PHYSIC, SURGERY, MIDWIFERY, &c.
THE Subscriber takes this method of informing the inhabitants of Alexandria and its neighbourhood, that he has just fixed himself as a resident amongst them, for the purpose of becoming a Practitioner in MEDICINE, SURGERY, in all its Branches, MIDWIFERY and the Diseases of the TEEFH; he trusts that six years unremitting attention, in the most approved Schools of Europe, to the different divisions of Science which compose his profession, will enable him to discharge its duties in a manner that shall be consistent with the safety and welfare of the Patient, as well as the reputation and dignity of the Profession itself; he hopes also that he will be found to practice on fully as reasonable terms as any reputable Practitioner can afford to do. There is one circumstance to which he could wish to be permitted the liberty of alluding, it is the Vaccine Inoculation, the greatest discovery, perhaps, that has ever been made in Medicine. Medical Science has justly been complained of, as making slow progress; as travelling in a dull halting gait; but, relative to Vaccine Inoculation, she has lately made a rapid, a gigantic stride of improvement, one that tends to expunge from the catalogue of Diseases the most odious and calamitous that ever afflicted man, the Small Pox. This then being the character of the discovery, the Subscriber trusts he may be believed when he asserts, that the full and complete diffusion of its benefits is what most sincerely interests him; even though wholly abstracted from any considerations of pecuniary advantage; he has been informed, that medical characters in this place, of much skill and benevolent intentions, have found impediments to the success of the Vaccine Inoculation, and that such impediments, though they seem somewhat peculiar to this country, have considerably limited the sphere of its usefulness. To investigate and remove the causes of those impediments will be an object of his most unceasing attention, and should there be any persons in this town or its vicinity, who would wish to participate in the benefits of the discovery, but may feel themselves restrained by pecuniary motives, he will inculcate and carry them through the disease free from all expense whatever. He has been familiarly acquainted with it in Europe, and possesses instructions given to him by the author of the discovery himself, whereby it may be most certainly and truly communicated, and as prudently and safely managed; there are circumstances too, of no small importance, as upon the communication of the true Vaccine Disease, and the prudent management of it depends the ample and wide extended blessing, which, under such circumstances, it is fully capable of conferring on the human species; for, if the false disease be communicated instead of the true, though only in a few instances, and the true disease not properly managed, it will involve the merits of the remedy in doubt and uncertainty, and ultimately bring it into total disrepute and uselessness. The Subscriber may be seen, by applying at his Shop, Prince Street, nearly opposite Dr. Dick's, or at his lodgings, at Mrs. Griffith's, King Street.

EXHIBITION
THIS EVENING, At the SPREAD EAGLE Ball Room. John Rannie, Respectfully informs the Ladies and Gentlemen of Alexandria and its vicinity, that for a short time only he has it in his power to display his Various Entertainments to the inhabitants of this city.
Act I. Mr. Rannie will exhibit a great variety of astonishing ARTS and EXPERIMENTS and real power of attraction by the Magical Sword. This part of the performance in former days was called
WITCHCRAFT,
And having conivance with familiar Spirits, but Mr. Rannie will clearly demonstrate and shew the explanations of those Stratagems in such a manner that the audience is capable of giving an explanation against all false reports which has universally alarmed the world. All is deception and experiments.
Act II. New arts of a balance master.
Act III. The singular and real power of
VENTRILOQUISM
this extraordinary gift which cannot be acquired, has been allowed amongst the enlightened characters to be very miraculous curiosity. We have no accounts of any VENTRILOQUISTS, but three since the woman of Endor, which in former days was called a real Witch.
Act IV. Most wonderful imitations of various BIRDS and BEASTS. Mr. R. by his powers to this day, has caused people to throw away their dead pigs, and fish, and caused men to unload cartloads of hay, suspecting that they heard the voice of a child smothering among the hay.
Mr. Rannie credibly informs the public, that if it was not in an age and in a country less enlightened, he doubts not but great part of his performance would be counted supernatural but perhaps neither nature, nor art, may produce the like again in several centuries.
Mr. Rannie among his various operations will conclude his performance with
Ground and Lofty TUMBLING,
It is also requested that Mr Rannie will repeat the parts of his Ventroloqual powers, which had such unbounded applause on the last evening of his exhibiting.
Doors to be opened at 6 o'clock and the Performance to begin at 7.—Tickets to be had at the place of Performance.

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING AN AMERICAN EDITION OF BLACKSTONE'S COMMENTARIES With Notes of Reference to the CONSTITUTION AND LAWS of the
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA: With an appendix to each volume, containing tracts upon such subjects as appeared necessary to form a systematic view of the laws of Virginia as a member of the federal union.
BY ST. GEORGE TUCKER, Professor of law in the College of William and Mary, and one of the Judges of the General Court, in Virginia.
THE PROPOSED EDITION WILL CONTAIN
 I. An Introduction, or Preface.  II. NOTES on such parts of the Commentaries as treat on subjects which relate to correlative powers, delegated by the constitution and laws of the federal government, or of the state of Virginia; shewing in what instances the principles of the British constitution, the maxims of that government, the general customs, or common law of England, acts of the British parliament, and particular customs, or prescriptions, have been adopted or confirmed; altered or amended; or wholly changed and repealed, by local circumstances, political considerations, or the express provisions contained in our constitution and statute law.  III. To each volume of the Commentaries, there will be an appendix; into which will be introduced notes of a more considerable length, which cannot conveniently be inserted in the body of the work, and short tracts upon some subjects arising out of our own constitution and laws. 
 IV. THE appendix to the first volume will contain, 1. A discourse on government; 2. An inquiry into the obligation and authority of the common law and statutes of England, in the United States respectively; and whether the same be the law of the federal government of the United States or not. 3. A view of the written law of the commonwealth of Virginia as partaking of the constitution and laws of the federal government, and treaties made thereby; as well as of its own particular constitution, and acts of its legislature; together with such acts of the parliament of Great Britain, as may be still supposed to have any force or obligation therein. 4. A view of the constitution of the United States; its relation and connection with the state constitutions; a brief examination of their respective powers; a short parallel between it and that of Great Britain; an examination of some of its defects; and a view of the amendments thereto proposed by the several state conventions; and of such as may still be proper to be taken into further consideration. 5. A short view of the constitution of Virginia; an examination of some of Mr. Jefferson's positions respecting it; some hints with regard to an amendment of it, &c. 6. Observations on the right of conscience and the freedom of the press, in the United States of America. 7. A view of the origin, progress, and present state of slavery in Virginia, with a plan for its gradual abolition. 8. View of the laws respecting glebes and churches in Virginia. 
 V. THE appendix to the second volume will contain a short abstract of the land laws in Virginia, with a reference to such as are not to be found in any general code. 2. A discourse on the law of descents in Virginia. 3. An engraved copperplate table of descents according thereto. 4. A table shewing the manner in which estates in parcenary shall be divided pursuant thereto. 5. A view of the laws respecting escheats and forfeitures, passed during the revolutionary war, and of the rights of foreigners to hold lands in Virginia. 6. A view of the laws respecting slaves as property. 7. A discourse on the subject of the laws restraining usury. 
 VI. THE appendix to the third volume will contain a short view of the courts of the United States, and of the commonwealth of Virginia, with an abstract of the laws by which the practice therein is regulated: strictures on the trial by jury 
in Virginia under the existing laws, and plan for their amendment.
VII. THE appendix to the fourth volume will contain an abstract of the criminal jurisdiction of the federal government, and of the commonwealth of Virginia: and a short discourse on treason.
VIII. THE tracts mentioned in the fourth section—together with the Editor's preface and the Commentator's introduction, being all attached to the first volume of Blackstone; will in this edition, be divided into two parts—the preface and introductions; and the five tracts first mentioned in the fourth section, will be attached to the first part, and the other three tracts mentioned in the same section, will make the appendix to the second part.
THE notes dispersed thro'out the work will amount to 14 or fifteen hundred. Those which refer to the constitution and laws of the United States are very numerous.
CONDITIONS.
 I. That the work be printed with a new type on superfine paper, and in five very large octavo volumes; and be bound in neat law binding.  II. That it shall go to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers shall be obtained to make it prudent—and from the time of going to press be published in one year.  III. That the price of the whole, complete and bound, shall be twenty dollars, payable on delivery. 
ADDRESS BY THE PUBLISHERS.
IT is presumed, a little consideration will make it obvious, that a work so extensive, and which will employ a large capital, cannot be put to press until a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to make it prudent:—The Publishers do not recollect that any book of the same amount, has been printed in the United States, without either a part of the purchase money being required in advance, or returns made as it proceeded, by delivering the volumes as they were printed—In the present case, the whole work will be finished and completely bound before any payment is made.
It is earnestly requested, that the gentlemen who intend subscribing, will forward their names, as soon as possible, either by letter (post paid) to the Publishers in Philadelphia, or through the medium of book sellers in the neighboring towns. The post masters will also be furnished with a subscription paper, and it is presumed they will forward any names that may offer; as a remuneration, and to induce gentlemen to give it a little attention, whoever procures nine subscribers shall be entitled to a tenth copy, but it is to be explicitly understood, that the person who receives a copy for procuring subscribers, must be answerable for the payment of all the gentlemen who sign his list. The Publishers demand nothing but on delivery of the books, complete; therefore, determined not to leave a single set, without at that time, receiving payment for it.
Gentlemen who forward names to the Publishers, are requested to mention where the books are to be sent, and if possible, to make the place of delivery some considerable and well-known town. Subscription papers will be found in the hands of Mr. Prichard and Mr. S. Pleasants, in Richmond; Messrs. Ross and Douglass, in Petersburgh; Mr. E. Merick, Norfolk; Mr. R. Greenhow, Williamsburgh; Mr. Henderson, Fredericksburg; Mr. S. Bishop, Alexandria; Mr. J. Alburtis, Martinburgh; Mr. Bowen, Winchester; Mr. J. Gales, Raleigh, N. Carolina; Messrs. Baily and Waller, Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. J. Marsh, Georgetown, Potomac; Messrs. Rapin & Co. Washington City; Messrs. G. Hill, and Conrad, & Co. Baltimore, &c. &c.
The Publishers have only to add, that they believe it will be found to be considerably the lowest priced law book, for a similar extent, and including a copy-right purchase, that has appeared for many years either in America or Europe.
