DOCTOR FENDALL, OPERATOR UPON TEETH.
Is just arrived in George Town, (on his way to Alexandria) and may be seen and consulted at the Union Tavern, kept by Mr. M c Laughlin, at any time. The looser applications are made to the Doctor the better, as his continuance in Town will be uncertain, having been long absent from his residence, to which place he is anxious to return.
Dr. FENDALL cures the scurvy in the gums, be it ever so inveterate, in a short time; loosens loose teeth, by making the gums grow firm up to them; renders teeth white and beautiful; prevents their decay; keeps such as are so from becoming worse, even to old age; fills up those that are hollow with gold or lead, which will not only render them useful, but prevents their aching and further decay; extracts teeth and lumps with ease; makes and fixes artificial teeth. His Columbian anticorbutic Dentifrice for preserving the teeth, gums, lockers, &c. and superior he thinks both in elegance and efficacy to any other, is still sold by the Doctor.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
To whom were referred, on the eighth ultimo, a letter from William Henry Harrison, president of the Convention held at Vincennes, in the Indiana territory, declaring the consent of the people of that territory to the suspension of the sixth article of compact between the United States and the said people; also, a memorial and petition of the inhabitants of the said territory.
The Committee to whom were referred a letter from William Henry Harrison, President of the Convention held at Vincennes, declaring the consent of the people of Indiana to the suspension of the sixth article of compact between the United States and the people of that territory; also, a memorial and petition of the inhabitants of the said territory,
REPORT
THAT the rapid population of the State of Ohio sufficiently evinces in the opinion of your committee, that the labour of slaves is not necessary to promote the growth and settlement of colonies in that region. That this labour, demonstrably the dearest of any, can only be employed to advantage in the cultivation of products more valuable than any known to that quarter of the United States: That the committee deem it highly dangerous and inexpedient to impair a provision wisely calculated to promote the happiness and prosperity of the north western country, and to give strength and security to that extensive frontier. In the salutary operation of this sagacious and benevolent restraint, it is believed that the inhabitants of Indiana will, at no very distant day, find ample remuneration for a temporary privation of labour, and of emigration.
On the various objects of the memorial your committee beg leave to observe,
That an appropriation having been made, empowering the executive to extinguish Indian titles to lands within the limits of the United States, the particular direction of that power rests entirely with that department of the government—That to permit the location of the claims under the resolve of Congress of the 29th of August, 1788, and the act of the 3d of March, 1791, (of whose number and extent the committee are entirely ignorant) in the mode pointed out in the memorial, would be an infringement upon that regular mode of survey and of location which has been so happily adhered to, in relation to the public lands. At the same time the committee are of opinion that, after those lands shall have been surveyed, a certain number of townships should be designated out of which the claims aforesaid ought to be satisfied: In a country abounding in new and unsettled lands, it is presumed that every individual may become a proprietor of the soil; and inasmuch as the people of Indiana will, at a period not far distant, be enabled to establish the right of suffrage on such principles as the majority may approve, the committee deem it inexpedient to alter a regulation whose effect is to retain in the hands of persons necessarily attached to the welfare of the country, the government of a remote dependency which, from its vicinage to the territories of foreign states, and from the sparseness of its population, might, otherwise, be exposed to foreign intrigue and influence.
Measures have been taken, to put the salt spring below the mouth of the Wabash river in a situation to yield every possible benefit to the adjacent country, the committee are of opinion that it is, at this time, inexpedient to vest that property in the legislature of the Indiana territory. From such a consideration as they have been enabled to bestow on the subject at this late period of the session, and under the pressure of accumulating business, they recommend the following resolutions which are respectfully submitted to the judgment of the House.
1. Resolved, That it is inexpedient to suspend, for a limited time, the operation of the sixth article of compact between the original states, and the people and states west of the River Ohio. 2. Resolved, That a provision, not exceeding one thirty-sixth part of the public lands within the Indiana territory, ought to be made for the support of schools within the same.
3. Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he hereby is, required to cause an estimate to be made of the number and extent of the claims to lands under the resolve of Congress of the 29th of August, 1788, and the act of the 3d of March, 1791, and to lay the same before the House at the ensuing session of Congress.
4. Resolved, That in all sales of the public lands within the territory of Indiana the right of pre-emption be given to actual settlers on the same.
5. Resolved, That it is inexpedient to grant lands to individuals for the purpose of establishing houses of entertainment and of opening certain roads.
6. Resolved, That it is, at this time, inexpedient to vest in the legislature of Indiana the salt spring below the mouth of the Wabash river.
7. Resolved, That it is inexpedient to alter the existing regulation of the right of suffrage within the said territory.
8. Resolved, That compensation ought to be made to the attorney general of the said territory for services performed by him in behalf of the United States.
Foreign Intelligence.
Sunday night arrived at Philadelphia, the Ship Wilmington, capt. Woodward, in 36 days from Belfast.
From the following article, it appears that the Spanish government, no doubt instigated by its Prime mover, the First Consul, has made an hostile advance against the interest of Great Britain:
"One of the most important articles brought by the papers which have reached us, is the intelligence of a formal notice having been sent to the British establishment in the Bay of Honduras, formed for the purpose of cutting logwood, desiring that they would instantly embark and quit the Spanish territory as the treaty whereby Great Britain claimed such a right has not been renewed. We are not informed whether any official notification of this demand has been made to the ministers by the court of Madrid. It is most probable, however, that some points remain to be adjusted between the two Courts of serious importance, which retards the nomination of Ambassadors, and the conclusion of the Treaty that has been so long in discussion."
The warfare between the Turks and Bays continues with unabated fury. The latter had conceived hopes of being aided by the British force in Egypt. But this is not likely to be the case. This critical situation of affairs, however, will be concieved by the British as an argument to induce the Grand Seignor to accede to the proposed alliance between England with Russia for the guarantee of Egypt.
The degradation of Switzerland is completed. The form of constitution, conformably to Bonaparte's wishes, has been adopted by the Helvetic consult.
Bonaparte, it seems, is going to the Netherlands on a secret expedition. For this camp of 12,000 men is to be established in the vicinity.
Leclerc's body, and Madame Leclerc, arrived at Toulon about the 10th of January. We perceive no publications on this subject from which can be inferred the impression made on France by this disastrous event.
Some serious disturbances have occurred in the South of Ireland. They are pretty generally attributed to local jealousies, existing among the mechanics and laborers. It was believed the ferment would be allayed without producing much mischief.
A letter from Naples, says, that Alexandria was to be entirely evacuated by the British troops on the 1st of January, but that it was the general opinion there, that forts and part of Malta would not be surrendered to the Neapolitan troops for some time or at least until certain arrangements respecting the stationing of neutral ships of war shall be agreed to between the Cabinets of London and Paris.
LONDON, January 10.
The Constitution of Switzerland was presented by the Commissioners of the Conservatic Senate to the Helvetic Consult, on the 24th of last month, and discussed and unanimously adopted in one sitting. It is, as was to be expected, conformable to the contents of the First Consul's letter to the Eighteen Cantons. Nothing, we think affords a greater
proof of the wretched state of subjection to which the Swiss nation is reduced, than the above fact—a people deemed unworthy of framing a Constitution for themselves—forced to send their Deputies to the capital of a foreign Power, to receive a form of Government from persons, who must be without those warm affections, those laudable prejudices, that bind a man to his native soil—a Constitution presented and unanimously adopted in one sitting.
The mind is shocked and afflicted at seeing so respectable a nation reduced to such a state of humiliation and dependence. That the Constitution should have been accepted with such haste and unanimity is to be accounted for only upon the principle that the Deputies were well convinced that opposition would be unavailing, and resistance fruitless. Else, is it to be supposed, that they would have not paused upon a form of Government presented for their acceptance by a foreign power; a constitution founded upon such principles as those avowed in the letter of Bonaparte?— Courier.
There is every reason to believe that the Porte will accede to lord Elgin's proposition of a triple alliance between Russia, England and Turkey, to guarantee Egypt from invasion. An article from Constantinople in the French papers, asserts that England has expressed her willingness not to give any assistance to the Bays, but that she requires the Porte to agree to the proposed alliance. Russia is said to be favorable to the plan, and the Porte, of course, must accede to it.
The Turkish government has published the last news from Egypt, which was supposed to be very disastrous. The Bays had formed the project of cutting their way through the Turkish line, and of penetrating to Alexandria, for the purpose of operating their junction with the English, on whose assistance they relied: they attempted it twice, and failed each time.
We have formerly stated that the Emperor Alexander had ordered payment to the British merchants, of the damage sustained by the Russian embargo.—It is pleasant to know that the proportion of the money due has been remitted to the merchants in different places. The merchants of Dundee have received their proportions. A most honorable testimony of the personal rectitude of the Emperor, and a clear pledge of the good faith and friendly disposition of the court of Russia towards this country.
We understand that M. Andreossi has been able, through the assistance of our Police, to discover in this country a forgery of French bank-notes and government paper to an enormous amount. The persons engaged in are all Frenchmen. Having received information of the plan, and the names of some of the Russians engaged in the plot, he communicated the facts to our ministers, who exerted all the powers of the police to assist him in the discovery. Sir Richard Ford was on Friday and Saturday employed in the examination of the delinquents. They have been taken with all their apparatus, and with the proofs of their guilt. They will be delivered up to the French government, there to be brought to trial for the offence. The alacrity which ministers have shown to assist in the discovery of this diabolical plan of mischief, is a reasonable reproof to the splenetic insinuations against their honor with which the French Journals are so incessantly filled.
January 11.
Yesterday morning Paris Journals and a Dutch Mail arrived.
Letters from Constantinople say, that the war still continues between the Turkish forces and the revolted Bays in Egypt. The latter, it seems, had conceived hopes of obtaining assistance from the English forces at Alexandria. It is evident, however, that such hopes must have been ill founded, as nothing could be so impolitic as to offend the Porte by such a proceeding. The present critical state of affairs in Egypt, however, must give additional force to the application which, it is said, has been made to the Grand Seignor to accede to a proposed alliance with England and Russia to guarantee Egypt.—It is not easy to conceive any good reason why the Turks should refuse to enter into such a plan. We hope Russia agrees to it, in which case there is little doubt the Porte will ultimately concur. In that case the English forces might assist in reducing the rebellious Bays, for while they are allowed to remain in Egypt, the authority of
the Grand Seignor must be scarcely nominal.
It is said the general constitution for Switzerland has already been adopted by the Consulta at Paris. The whole was the result of one day. It is needless to remark on the indecency of this conduct—but it is so clear that Switzerland is completely subjugated, that it is needless to preserve the forms of free deliberation even upon the most interesting question that can be submitted to a people, or their representatives. It appears that the members of the Consulta do not agree upon any principle or plan of constituting the particular local government of each canton. Indeed the whole scheme is cruel and violent, and Switzerland will, in reality, have no law but that which may be enforced by the French troops that may be left to garrison their country.
Letters from the Hague state, that the government has submitted to the legislative body a proposition for a loan of 24 millions of florins; it is not yet known whether it will be adopted or rejected, but it has already had the effect of lowering the Dutch funds very considerably.
January 12.
Spain is rather tardy in sending us her ambassador. We ( Courier ) knew not that any points of dispute remained between the two countries, till we heard the intelligence we communicated yesterday respecting our settlement in Honduras. Whether that intelligence be true or false we know not—if it be true, we should be tempted to consider Spain not so much a principal in the business as the agent of another power. Will such an act be considered as a proof of mere commercial rivalry? But allowing that there are points to be settled between this country and Spain, still it is strange that she does not send us her ambassador, who might enter into a negotiation for the purpose of adjusting them. We have heard it rumoured that she is displeased at our sending her a gentleman in the second diplomatic character of Envoy, when she expected a minister, with the title of Ambassador and Minister Plenipotentiary.
The treaty of Amiens has not been hitherto fulfilled, in that part of it which respects the rights of British subjects, proprietors of stock in the French funds, created between the revolution and the commencement of the war. The British creditors on those funds are many; and the general amount of the debt to them is very considerable. Other means having failed, they have, at last, determined, to take measures, in common, in order to recover their property, under the obligations of the treaty of peace. Their hopes now rest in the protection of the British government, and its energetic interposition with that of France.—A committee of their number has already had communications with Lord Hawkesbury on the subject. A general meeting, which should have yesterday taken place at the London Tavern, was at his Lordship's express request deferred. His Lordship will, in the mean time, have an interview with the committee. The nature of the claims may be, then, more particularly stated to this minister, and he may, possibly, enable the committee at once to inform the general meeting what steps government is willing immediately to take in their behalf, and how far they may indulge hopes that the debts due to them by France, shall be, without evasion or undismembered injustice, speedily discharged.
January 13.
We ( Courier ) have every reason to believe that the intelligence we communicated the day before yesterday respecting our settlement in the Bay of Honduras is correct. A letter has been received to the following effect:—
"The Spaniards have suddenly warned the British settlers in the Bay of Honduras and the other parts adjacent, to quit their settlements immediately, adding, that but little time will be granted for this order to be carried into full effect, and that orders have already been given for the erection of a large battery, from which force would be used to carry this order into full effect."
The letter concludes by recommending that no more stores be sent to that quarter for the present.
This is one of the effects which it was predicted, would be produced by the omission in the treaty of Amiens, of a stipulation for the renewal of ancient treaties.
January 14.
At last we have received intelligence from the Continent. We received this morning the Paris papers to the 12th inst. A French messenger arrived at

the same time with dispatches for the French Ambassador.
The Chit Chat is certainly going to the Netherlands almost immediately, and a camp of 12,000 men is to be formed in the vicinity. The object of this measure is a secret.
The Monitor of the 9th inst. makes another attack upon the government of this country, in an article from which the following is an extract:
"We think that the letter of a man, better able than any other to judge of the atrocity of the late British ministers, would be acceptable to Frenchmen, more particularly as that man was himself a party concerned. Chief atrocious men, who lent the flower of our formidable commanders to be butchered at Quiberon, have never ceased to have private officers in their pay, wretches ever ready to stab in the dark—it was they who paid for the achievement of the 3d Nivose; Goyon, Duchel, and the former bishop of Arras, the chief instruments of the abominable plot, enjoy the special and public protection of England, together with a considerable pension—they aimed Frenchmen against one another under various pretexts, but of which the chief aim was to annihilate us—they wished to realize what they had engraved on their chains—namely, to blot out France from the list of European powers."
"Inhabitants of La Vendee, of Maribhan, of the northern coasts of La Manche, and of L'Ouest, it is more particularly to you, that this is addressed; and should these wretches succeed in exciting a war on the continent, you will revenge yourselves for these wrongs, your dishonors, & your calamities."
"They are the contempt of Europe, these men who had murderers in their pay; look to the island of Jersey, and you will see it filled with brigands, who only leave it for the purpose of disturbing your tranquillity; the infamous Georges made a practice to sell you to them; surely then the Grenvilles and the Windhams have greatly dishonored modern Europe!"
Here follows a letter said to be addressed to the chief of the police of the grand duchy, the object of which is evidently to exculpate the emigrant Dundre, and show that he declined to act jointly with Duchel and others against the interests of France. Mr. Wickham is in this letter pointed out as the person employed by the British government to hire assassins, & send them into France. The letter alluded to is signed by a person of the name of Bertonier, implicated in the correspondence of the Bayuth, &c.

WASHINGTON CITY.
MONDAY, March 7, 1803.
Never was there, perhaps, a greater triumph of truth and talent, than that gained by the republican side of the House of Representatives during the two last days of the session.
At one o'clock on Wednesday Mr. Griswold made a detailed speech of considerable length, replete with involved calculation founded on several reports of the Treasury Department, in order to shew that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund had not applied to the extinguishment of the public debt, the whole sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, directed to be so applied by the laws of the last session. His speech embraced many other criminating charges against the commissioners, all drawn from involved calculation, and was terminated by offering the following resolution:
Resolved, that the committee of Ways & Means be directed to enquire whether the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund have, agreeably to the directions of the Act, intitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States" applied the sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, provided by the same, to the payment of the principal and interest of the public debt; and to enquire, generally, into the accounts and proceedings of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund,—and to report to the House.
Mr. Randolph, chairman of the committee of Ways and Means, with an intrepidity which did him great honor, rose to second the motion. He rejoined that the enquiry was instituted, though at so late a day as almost to preclude a full investigation during the few remaining hours of the session. Left however the misrepresentations of the gentleman from Connecticut should go forth to the public without an answer, and might thence be deemed unanswerable, he followed Mr. Griswold in all his calculations, exposed their error, and able vindicated the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund and the Secretary of the Treasury from every charge made. He concluded by moving that the committee of Ways and Means should be permitted to sit during the sittings of the House, that late as the period was, a letter, such as the gentleman from Connecticut should himself indite, might be sent to the Secretary of the Treasury, and the fullest possible investigation take place.
General S. Smith and Mr. Nicholson followed, and with luminous truth, completely dispelled the clouds which had been attempted to be cast on the conduct and characters of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund and the Secretary of the Treasury.
The resolution was unanimously agreed to, and leave given to the committee of Ways and Means, to act during the sittings of the House.
Great was our surprise at Mr. Griswold submitting his resolution to enquire at so late a period, when the House was so engaged with multifarious business as to have actually sat day and night: Great was our surprise, equalled only by our pleasure, at the able and decisive and instantaneous replies and refutations of Messrs. Randolph, Nicholson, and Smith.—but still greater was our surprise, and still greater our pleasure, at the receipt of the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury on the ensuing day.
On Wednesday between 6 and 7 in the evening, the committee of Ways and Means addressed a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury making the numerous enquiries required by Mr. Griswold. On the next day at 6 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Randolph, as chairman of the committee, submitted to the House the answer of the Secretary, containing 32 pages folio, besides numerous accompanying documents. It was immediately read under the most respectful attention of the House; and appeared to contain the most satisfactory elucidation and vindication of the conduct of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, who were demonstrated to have observed every injunction of law, and to have performed every act of duty.
When the length of the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury is considered, and that its contents embrace a wide field of calculation, and that it argumentatively discloses the objections and enquiries of Mr. Griswold, it becomes a matter, if not of astonishment, at least of admiration, that it should have been so promptly made. Nor can it be otherwise accounted for, than from the clear and correct principles which have governed the conduct of the Secretary, and his ability to elucidate at a moment's warning the most elaborate formality into the transactions of his department, even to the satisfaction, we will say, of those who had previously consumed months, in the leisure of their closets, in discovering the most vulnerable and artful points of attack.
We mean not to adulate; but we feel an honest pride in pronouncing the order of the House to print two thousand copies of the letter of the Secretary, a well-merited monument raised to his talents and integrity.
But as if there were a fatality attending all unwarranted attempts to blacken character, there was another forlorn hope, not to be abandoned in a day of political despair, that appears to have been cherished with an unusual ardor of expectation, but which unfortunately for its devotees terminated in disappointment and humiliation.
The sale of the BANK SHARES has long been a topic of federal traducing. The impunity with which the grossest calumnies have been suffered to circulate through the medium of newspapers and circular letters, seems to have emboldened the opposition, and inspired them with an expectation that the floor of the House of Representatives might, at a politic season, be made the successful theatre of more authoritative reproach.
Accordingly on Thursday, the last day of the session, Mr. Bayard moved a resolution for the appointment of a committee, with instructions to enquire into the legality of the sale of the Bank Stock, also into its expediency, and whether the United States did not sustain a loss thereby.
This resolution was preceded by a long and elaborate speech, in which Mr. Bayard introduced detailed statements derived from anonymous documents, of the price of Bank Stock at the period of sale, and the rate of exchange between the United States and London, and Amsterdam, and between London and Amsterdam. His object, he said, was to prove that the sale was illegal and inexpedient, and that it eventuated in a loss of 119,000 dollars to the United States.
Mr. Bayard was immediately followed by Mr. Randolph, Mr. Nicholson, Mr. S. Smith and Mr. Bacon; who, dispelled every doubt, and shewed the sale to have been legal, expedient, wise, and productive of a considerable saving to the United States.
Mr. Griswold followed, & at 4 o'clock the House adjourned without coming to a decision.
In the evening session the discussion was again resumed, in a debate of a most defolatory character, which was not terminated till between 11 and 12 o'clock.
Various motions and decisions were made; of which we shall at present state only two (reserving for a future day, which shall be very early, a complete report of the whole debate.)
The House rejected the motion of Mr. Bayard—Yeas 24—Nays 40.
When, on motion of Gen. S. Smith, a resolution declaring that the commissioners were authorized to sell the Bank Shares, that the sale made by them was expedient, and the result highly conducive to the interests of the United States,—was adopted—Yeas 42—Nays 12.
It may be necessary to observe that the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury is a complete refutation of the charges made in the discussion of the motions of both Mr. Griswold and Mr. Bayard.
Copy of a Letter dated December 19th, 1802, from a farmer in Washington County, Pennsylvania, to his friend in Allegany County, in the same state. Communicated to the Editor by a Member of Congress.
"I THANK you, my dear Sir, for transmitting to me, by my Son who arrived this afternoon, the letter addressed to you by Mr. Morgan; dated at New Orleans, the 19th of October last, with a translation of the Intendant's Proclamation, closing the American trade at that place.
It is to be greatly regretted, that the Intendant has adopted so hasty a measure, to the injury of his own government, and so obnoxious to the trade and feelings of our citizens.
Mr. Morgan's letter, appears to be, a circular one, and sending, though perhaps not intended, to excite the resentment of the citizens of the United States, and induce them to hasty measures of redress, inconsistent with the dignity of a general government, and the true interests of our country.
"We know, that in a single week, we could, in any one of our counties, produce a force sufficient to sweep the Mississippi clear of all foreign neighbours, should necessity and our government require the measure: Yet I also know, and you will agree with me, that we
* It turned out to be so.
ought to use our influence to allay the repress the passions and resentment of those who believe, that a violation of our treaty with Spain by the government at New Orleans, thus flagrant, would justify our immediate re-enactment, so far as to lead us to dispose of that portion of all her territory on the Mississippi. Such ideas have been held out; but it is incumbent on all enlightened friends to our country, to discountenance those ideas; you and I are natives of the United States; far advanced, and advancing farther in years and experience—we can have but one principle, or object in our politics, (the good of the whole), however we may diverge, at certain points, to seek the same object.
"We cannot doubt that the Supreme executive of our country, will hasten to adopt every amicable measure, most effectual to procure redress, and a perfect re-establishment of our rights, agreeably to our treaty with Spain.
"The true spirit and principle of the American nation, is to cultivate peace and concord with all others; and therefore all friends to this principle should, at this time, step forth to discountenance all vengeful retinements, against acts of deputy governors and Intendants, although violating our rights in the most important articles of our treaties. Let us, then submit for a season, to all inconveniences, rather than involve our country in hostilities with powers, which have on many occasions evidenced important services and friendship to the United States. Let us depend on the wisdom of our general executive government, to negotiate in the most amicable manner with these powers, for simple redress, and the future security of our Mississippi commerce. In failure thereof we know our power, and may then exercise it, without violating the laws of nations or the laws of reason.
In the mean time, I think that our fellow-citizens on the waters of the Mississippi, ought respectfully to address the President of the United States, and represent to him in the strongest terms, (what indeed he well knows) that we cannot subsist without a free navigation into, and out of the Mississippi, on such just and reasonable principles, as shall tend to promote and establish the interest of all concerned, and extend to posterity the peace, concord and happiness of every nation interested.
"We have seen much published on the subject of Blount's and Linton's Conspiracy, to excite the Western citizens of the United States to surprise and possess themselves of Louisiana, Anno 1795, or 6; yet few know that the intrigues of British Emisaries, with the Grand Lama of Miami, and other western citizens, in the year 1788, were carried to a still greater extent, and perhaps none but the first President of the United States, the then Spanish Ambassador, and the then governor-general of Canada, knew or know that you and I were from principle, the sole causers of the defeat of those intrigues: it was so; and we never claimed any merit therefrom.—We did our duty, and never claimed more. FAREWELL!

make payment agreeably to the condition of his bond, and sundry resolves of the general assembly, the governor and council may direct procces to issue for the whole principal and interest then due, or may proceed on any execution against any state debtor already issued, and served and suspended, as occasion may require, or may direct any execution to be delayed as long as they may think expedient and necessary; and no procces shall issue against any of the public debtors unless by the direction of the governor and council; and all sales of property taken by feri facias at the suit of the state, may be suspended by the governor and council from time to time, as they may think most to the advantage of the state, and may direct executions against the body of any state debtor to be entered "not called by consent."
Whereas many persons have made discoveries of British property, confiscated property, or property liable to confiscation, to the governor and council, the late intendant, and late agents of the state, and have made application to purchase the same upon the terms held out by law to the discoverers: And whereas there is no person invested with authority to estimate the value, or fix a reasonable price for the said property, and to compound with the person or persons making such discovery, or with the person or persons applying to purchase the same. Be it enacted, That the governor and council be and they are hereby empowered to compound with all persons who have heretofore made discovery of British property, confiscated property, or property liable to confiscation, either to the governor and council, the late intendant, or any of the state agents, and to allow not exceeding one third of the value of such property to any person or persons having made such discovery, and who shall make application to the governor and council on or before the first day of May next, to compound for and purchase the same, and the said governor and council are hereby authorised to dispose of such property to such applicants, and take bonds with good and sufficient security, to be approved of by the treasurer of the western shire, for the purchase money, bearing interest, payable to the state at the periods that may be agreed on.
And be it enacted, That if such discoverers shall not make known to the governor and council the title of the state to the property aforesaid, on or before the first day of May next, or shall refuse or neglect, on or before that day, to agree for the purchase of the same, that then the governor and council shall be and they are hereby authorised to sell and dispose of the state's right to the said property to any person or persons applying to purchase the same, or may appoint a fit and proper person as aforesaid, who shall give bond as aforesaid, to sell the same at public sale in the manner therein before directed, without making such discoveries, who refuse or neglect as aforesaid, any compensation.
And be it enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for any person or persons purchasing as aforesaid any confiscated British property under the authority of this act, to prosecute any suit or suits, either in law or equity, in the name of the state, for recovery of said property for their use; provided that the said state shall not be liable to pay any costs incurred in prosecution of said suits, but that the same shall be paid by the person or persons for whose use said suits shall be prosecuted; and provided also, that in all such sales, so to be made by the governor and council, or under their direction and appointment, it shall be made known, and it shall be a condition thereof, that they only sell the right of the state thereto, and that the state doth not guarantee the title to the same, or any part thereof, but that the purchase must be in all respects at the risk of the purchaser.
And be it enacted, That on all sales to be made by the governor and council, and under their direction and appointment, of confiscated property, in pursuance of this act, deeds shall be executed by the chancellor to the purchaser or purchasers, in the same manner as for other confiscated property heretofore disposed of.
And be it enacted, That in all cases where bonds shall be taken in virtue of this act, such bonds shall be a lien on the real property of the obligors from the date thereof, or on so much of the said real property as the governor and council shall think sufficient, to be particularly mentioned in a schedule to be annexed to the said bond, in which case it shall be a lien on the property contained in such schedule, and no more, such bond and schedule to be lodged with the treasurer of the western shire, and all such bonds shall express the county in which the obligors respectively reside; and the treasurer of the respective shires shall, within one month after they receive them respectively, cause them, to be recorded in the office of the clerks of the western and eastern shires respectively, at the expence of the obligors, and a copy of said record, certified under the hand and official seal of the clerk in whose office the same record shall have been made, shall be as good evidence in any court of law or equity in this state
as the original bond would be if it was produced.
And be it enacted, That the governor and council be and they are hereby requested to make communications to the next general assembly of the several proceedings under this act.
And be it enacted, That the governor and council be and they are hereby authorised to allow to any person whom they shall think proper to appoint to sell any real property directed to be sold in virtue of this act, a sum not exceeding three per centum on the amount of any sale.
