MANAGEMENT OF THE SINK- ING FUND. No. II.
"To effect the payment annually of seven millions three hundred thousand dol- lars, towards the final discharge of the whole debt," was the avowed object of the act of the 29th of April 1802. It increased the sinking fund to this amount, and made it "the duty of the secretary of the Treasury, annually and in each year, to cause to be paid to the commis- sioners of the sinking fund the said sum of seven millions, three hundred thousand dollars," at the same time, it gave to the board of commissioners the superintendence of all payments on account of the inter- est, as well as the principal of the pre- sent debts of the United States.
Under this act, the powers of the board of commissioners are extended, and correspondent duties are imposed on them. A succinct view of the public debt, and of the measures formerly adopted for discharging it, will illustrate the subject. The sinking fund was originally appli- cable to the capital sum or principal of the public debt; and, from its first estab- lishment, has been under the direction of commissioners. Provision, however, was made for the regular payment of the in- terest, before a fund was established for sinking the principal. There were two general descriptions of public debt—the foreign and domestic. The former had been contracted in foreign countries, and was payable in France, Spain, or the Dutch Netherlands. The domestic debt, as the expression imports, was payable in the U. States. With respect to the foreign debt the principal of which was payable by instalments it was well understood, that the instalments were to be paid at certain periods stipulated by contract.— The acts of government, by which the faith of the United States was pledged to this effect, were morally and constitu- tionally obligatory. In this respect, the foreign debt of the United States was es- sentially distinguished from the domestic funded debt. No part of the latter was demandable at any stipulated period. The act of the 4th of August 1790 commonly called the funding act reserved to the go- vernment the option of paying an extin- guishing annuity, not exceeding the rate of eight per cent. on the six per cent. and deferred stocks; but it contained no li- mitation for the annual payment of the sum. The principal might be gradually re- imbursed by paying the extinguishing annu- ity, if such should be the pleasure of the United States; but there was no obli- gation contracted with the creditors, to pay, at any given period, more than the stipulated interest. For reimbursing the principal, therefore, it was necessary to pass a particular law, regulating the amount of the reimbursements, and pre- scribing the times of payment. This took place in consequence of an official report, containing a plan for the further support of PUBLIC CREDIT, submitted to the house of representatives, by the head of the treasury department, in January 1795. The principles of that report formed the basis of the act of the 3d of March 1795, entitled "an act making further provi- sion for the support of public credit." That act made provision for paying the whole of the extinguished annuity on the funded six per cent. and deferred stocks, and di- rected the reimbursement of the six per cent. stock to commence on the first day of January 1796, and that of the defer- red stock on the first day of January 1802. For this purpose an adequate fund was established. It was evident however that the proposed reimbursement, being origi- nally optional with the government, could not be claimed by the respective creditors, in the same manner as they might claim their stipulated interests, or as the foreign creditors, in the same man- ner as they might claim their stipulated interest and instalments: a principle point with those who then conducted the affairs of the union was, therefore, to secure, by all the sanctions of which the subject is susceptible, an inviolable application of the fund according to its destination." As their intention was to extinguish the debt by making efficient provision for this purpose, they bound the government by a variety of engagements which were not contained in the original contract with the subscribing creditors. The fund was placed under the direction of the commis- sioners already described; the monies constituting the fund, were declared to be vested in the commissioners in trust for reimbursing the debt as the act prescribed;
and the faith of the U. States was pledged that the monies should invariably remain so vested until the reimbursement should be fully effected. The object, was, to clothe the fund with the character of pri- vate property holden in trust for the re- spective creditors, and thereby "to fix its destination unchangeably." Otherwise it might be diverted by subsequent approp- riations. For the contract with the creditors, under the funding act, contain- ed nothing which bound the government to reimburse their debt in the proportions, and at the same time, mentioned in the act of the 3d of March 1795. This con- sideration bespeaks the wisdom, as well as the sincerity of those who adopted such efficacious provisions for guarding against any alienation of the fund. Hence it was vested in a board of commissioners in trust—the public faith was most solemn- ly pledged for its inviolability—the term of the trust were precisely defined—the application of the fund according to those terms was unconditionally enjoined on the commissioners.
To these provisions, a reference was had, undoubtedly, in framing the act of the 29th of April, 1802. This is to be presumed from the nature of the subject, as both acts contain provisions in relation to the public debt. It is also probable with demonstrative certainty. On the 18th of December, 1801, Secretary Gall- atin made a report to Congress on the sub- ject of finance, and expressed his belief, that the sum annually applicable to the debt might be confidently estimated at 7,300,000 dollars. This report was re- ferred to in an official letter, which he addressed to the chairman of the commit- tee of ways and means on the 31st of March, 1802. In the letter he speaks of the necessity of making for the debts intended to be discharged, as adequate pro- vision as is made by the act of 3d March, 1795, for the payment of the 8 per cent. annuity on the 6 per cent. and deferred stocks, by vesting in the commissioners of the sinking fund such annual sum as will be equal to the proposed redemption, and by directing the commissioners to apply the same to the redemption of such debts.— This provision, says Secretary Gallatin, will be determinate in its amount, simple in its execution, certain in its effect. Af- ter which, referring to this report on the subject of finance, he mentions the annu- al sum of 7,300,000 dollars as applicable to the payment of both principal and in- terest of public debt. This letter, as ap- pears from printed documents, was annex- ed to the report of the Committee of Ways and Means, accompanying the bill about the whole of the public debt, which was presented to the House of Represen- tatives on the 9th of April 1802.
Let us now look at the famous act, which was approved on the 29th of the same month. Secretary Gallatin says,— The first section of the law makes an an- nual appropriation of 7,300,000 dollars So much is true, but there is some- thing more than this in the first section. It enacts, That so much of the duties on merchandise and tonnage as, with the mon- ies of the sinking fund therein described, will amount to an annual sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars be and the same is yearly appropriated to the said fund; and the said sums are declared to be vested in the commissioners of the sink- ing fund, to be applied by the said commis- sioners to the payment of interest and char- ges, and to the reimbursement or redemp- tion of the principal of the public debt.— Whether this clause of the section is drawn with mercantile, juridical, or gram- matical accuracy, we need not pause to inquire. The annual sum of 7,300,000 dollars is yearly appropriated to the sink- ing fund, and vested in the commissioners to be by them applied to the interest and principal of the debt, including charges. Before this act was passed, it does not appear to have been the prevalent opinion, that the annual payment of the interest accruing on a debt would sink the debt itself; and the commissioners of the sink- ing fund, as such, were not directed to make payment of the interest, leaving to the proper officers the duty of paying the interest according to contract, as was au- thorised by law before the sinking fund was established. The act of March 3, 1795, contained the following provision, "All reimbursements of the capital or principal of the public debt, foreign and domestic, shall be made under the super- intendence of the commissioners of the sinking fund." The famous act of the 29th of April, 1802, is different in sub- stance and style. These are its terms—at
the beginning of the 3d section—All reimbursements of the capital or principal of the present debt of the United States, including future loans which may be made for reimbursing or redeeming any instal- ments or parts of the same, and all pay- ments on account of the interest and charges accruing upon the said debt, shall be made under the superintendence of the commissioners of the sinking fund."
After all that we have now observed, we find Secretary Gallatin coming forward with an assertion to this effect, There is no- thing which binds the commissioners after they have paid the interest and principal falling due in any one year, to apply the remainder or surplus of the 7,300,000 dollars, if any, during the course of the same year. Is it indeed so? Do all the professions of those now in power amount, at length, to nothing more than this?— If so, what single object of public utility is accomplished by the act of which they have boasted? The interest on the whole debt, the instalments of the foreign debt, the extinguishing annuity on the domes- tic debt all were regularly paid before that act was passed. The act however has one effect, which is practically admit- ted by Secretary Gallatin. The annu- al sum of 7,300,000 dollars he admits, is so appropriated that it must go out of the treasury every year; but at the same time, according to his doctrine, it is not requisite, that an equal amount of interest and principal should be discharg- ed. The treasury at all events must be emptied of the money, altho' the United States are not freed from the debt.

NEWBURYPORT, August 3.
By the arrival yesterday of the brig Starr, Swett, in 19 days from Guadaloupe we learn that at the time of his sailing, the island was not blockaded, nor had they received any official accounts of war. The French were fitting out privateers, but as yet had no authority for granting commis- sions. On leaving Guadaloupe he was boarded by an English frigate, and was informed that the force which had captur- ed Tobago, with all that could be spared from the windward station, had gone a- gainst Surinam and Demerara. That a squadron was soon expected from England for the attack of Guadaloupe and Marti- nique. Capt. Swett observes, that the Americans have as yet, met with no in- terruption in their intercourse with Gua- daloupe, from the English.
Capt. Boardman, arrived here yester- day, 23 days from Guadaloupe, mentions that citizen Jerome Bonaparte, arrived there about the 20th of June, and imme- diately after an embargo was laid, which was not taken off till the day before he sailed, July 8, Markets were dull, and a great number of Americans in the island had not been blockaded, but they ex- pected it: one of his Majesty's Frigates cruizing off there had taken twelve or fourteen French privateers in the river Salle, and sent them in.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 11.
We are authorised to say, that the Po- tomac Company, at their late meeting in this place, determined unanimously to make no dividend in the present year; but to apply all the money in hand from the re- ceipt of tolls towards perfecting the navi- gation. The report of the Board of Di- rectors to the Stockholders contained, the agreeable information that no greater ob- structions remained in the river, between the City of Washington and Harper's Ferry, than could be removed in the pre- sent season by this application of the tolls.
We are also authorised to state, that the wealthy and public spirited farmers on the Monocacy, have loaned to the Com- pany, and have actually paid into the hands of the Treasurer, a sum of money equal to the removal of every impediment in the navigation of that important river, for a considerable distance beyond Fre- dericktown; and that the Directors have already prepared a number of artists and laborers to commence that work, which it is confidently believed by the best in- formed, will be so far completed by Oc- tober or November, as to permit, almost at any season, the passage of boats of 100 barrels burthen from that rich productive country to Washington.
We felicitate our fellow citizens of the Town and City on prospects so flat- tering. We have all of us calculated on the greatest advantages in a commercial point of view, from connecting ourselves by means of the inland navigation of the Potomac with the fertile and extensive country lying west of us, daily increas- ing in population; but because our hopes were not at once realized, too many of us have been too apt to yield to despon- dence, and to indulge weak and timid apprehensions, that what was only delay- ed was never to be accomplished. Let the present state of things and the certain pro- spects before us teach more fortitude and more wisdom.

"Several of the vessels arrived lately from America have brought no Certificate of Health from the Spanish Consul, which is absolutely required by our Health Of- fice, and to which particular attention should be paid."
"Let it also serve for the government of yourself and your friends, that no goods, not even grain, nor even articles of the first necessity, are admitted at our custom house without a certificate from the Spa- nish Consul; or, where there is no Consul, from a magistrate, specifying their growth or manufacture."

By Capt. Hawes, lately arrived at Sa- lem from St. Peters, we have obtained the following particulars of the capture of that place by the English:
"St. Peters was taken by the frigate Aurora, Capt. Morlen, from St. Johns; a brig, a schr. and about 15 shallops were all the shipping in the harbour at the time it was taken; 8 brigs and 3 schrs. sailed for the Bank 3 days before it was taken on their second fare. There were not more than 200 men on the Island, and not one cannon mounted; no resistance was made by the inhabitants. Two schrs. came in from the Banks after the place was taken. No guard was kept on the Island to prevent the inhabitants going a-
way; a number went to Newfoundland in small boats; some came toward the U. States in shallops, one of which was taken off Liverpool, and the prisoners sent to Halifax. There was not more than 3000 quintals of Fish on shore, none of which was cured; and no goods, except salt and stores for the above vessels.— There were not more than five small fram- ed houses on the Island with a number of tents made with sails. Capt. Haws was there eight days after the place was taken; the frigate was still there; and he was informed that when the frigate went to St. Johns, would take all the prisoners with her, and burn the town.

Soldiers, You have obtained Peace by your victories; Europe was tranquil, France satisfied, and the Colonies were flourish- ing; England alone, always envious of the welfare of others has taken up arms.
You have terminated the war in he- roism, your enemies have renewed it in piracy. Before they had declared war, and whilst we were giving an asylum to their vessels, they came to insult us, and seize upon ours; and this navy so boasted of by the English has commenced war in barges upon our coasts.
Soldiers! you are accustomed to ano- ther kind of victory: Equally illustri- ous in attack as well as in defence, it is you, of the 34th division, who after hav- ing conquered half of Germany, defended during fifty four days, the ruins of Kell, against the attack of Prince Charles and arrested, almost for a month, at the passage of Klonthal twenty two thousand Russians, commanded by Suwarow. It is you, again, who with your brave companions of the 37th have triumphed over the Austrians at Stutgard, at Moeskirch, at Newbourg, at Nordlingen, and who forced the Danube and the Inn, the last barriers of your enemies.
Artillery of the Marine! Soldiers of the 90th! the English know you much better: by the most remarkable treason, they become possessed of the Batavian fleet; masters of the Texel, they went to invade Holland;—You appeared and this army so fierce, placed between you and the Ocean, in sight of thirty vessels which supported them, laid down their colours and capitulated to you.
Defenders of Martinique, you will pre- pare the same feast for those who attack you. Remember it is more difficult to get at the English than to conquer them, and if they disembark on our coast, they themselves remove the only obstacle which protects them against you. Officers and soldiers of the army, notwithstanding the ocean separates you from France, the First Consul beholds you; he counts upon your discipline and courage and expects victo- ry; and when you are united to your bre- thren in arms, triumphing in every part of Europe, they will say of you, to associate you in their glory— they were at Marti- nique. Long live the republic.
Done at Martinique, the 3d Messidor 11th year.
VILLARET.
In the name of the French Republic. PROCLAMATION. STATE OF SIEGE.
LOUIS THOMAS VILLARET JOYEUSE, General in Chief, Captain General of Martinique and its dependencies,
To the Inhabitants of the Colony.
Citizens, THE insults, the depredations, and the menacing attitude of our enemy, has forced me to place Martinique in a state of siege.
In this order of things, the military au- thority necessarily supercedes the Common Law and the Civil Administration. All public authority is concentrated in the hands of the General in Chief.
Inhabitants of Martinique! I have established this order of govern- ment to secure your property and persons: before I knew you, I defended your dear- est interests, and since I have known you I have informed the First Consul of your conduct and your principles, which I am happy to say has not contradicted my re- port; you will prove to the enemies of our country, that there is no sacrifice that you
will not cheerfully make, to sustain the honor of the French arms.
A part of your contributions are in ar- rears. They are the salary of the brave soldiers who are fighting for you; Hasten to pay them; good citizens need no other call, the bad will be detected by a delay so culpable, and deserve no farther res- pect; any person who shall not pay all his arrears of contributions within fifteen days from the date of the publication of the present Proclamation, shall be con- demned a la militaire , to pay double the amount he owes.
To prevent any delay, I authorize the Commissioners commanding the Parishes, to receive the arrears of contributions; they are hereby directed to make the re- turns to the public treasury, and to ad- dress to me direct an account of their re- ceipts: I repeat, that I shall regard the least delay of fulfilling this sacred duty, as a tacit confession of sentiments the most criminal, considering the circumstances in which we are placed.
Inhabitants of Martinique! The government, of which I am the organ, has treated you as children dear to her. Whatever the event may be remem- ber that she punishes ingratitude, as well as she rewards fidelity and zeal. Done at Fort de France, Island of Martinique, the 19th Messidor, (3th July) 11th year of the French Republic.
VILLARET, Capt. General
MORE "TREASON" BREWING!!!
Within these few days several parties of the " federal junta ," have had the hardihood, without permission from their would be Conservators of the Mountains to leave town. One party, we learn, has steered towards the Winisipiokee , no doubt, to stir up the aborigines round that pond against the administration.—A second set, we are told, are gone to the north- ern lakes, unquestionably to consult on the affairs of the next election in the quiet recesses under the cataract of Niagara.— A third, we understand, has fixed on Na- hart, indubitably for the same purpose as the French commercial agents were fixed in Ireland—to take the soundings round the outer ledges, for a British squadron to anchor on their way to Louisiana. A fourth party has squatted at Duck Trap, where they are to hold a conference with a deputation from Malagash on " some treasonable project ;" what it is, we may expect to have developed from some ex- pected or unexpected quarter—O ye de- mocratic videts; who stand on the watch towers to descry danger and Chronicle conspiracies; how long will ye " slumber and sleep ," when such horrid machina- tions are in train! Rouse rouse, for Hea- ven's sake rouse! Make your alarm heard! Through your accustomed speak- ing trumpet, let this Proclamation be made—"Ye Federal Travellers, attend! Ye are wretches! Spies track the foot- steps of your Cavalcades! Be assured, for every trout ye draw out of the Wini- sipiokee;—for every pike ye trail for in Lake Erie or Ontario, ye will be held " responsible " to the democratic tribu- nals. For every view you take of the mighty water-falls, you must answer at your peril, and should you venture to brace your nerves in the tonic air of King- ston or Montreal, horrid names! regale yourselves at the hospitable board at Na- vy Hall, or bathe your limbs in the wa- ters of Champlain, depend upon it, ye will be held answerable for " treason " against the " Powers that be! " Pause then for Heaven's sake pause! budge not an inch further. " Return with rapidity , lest ye disturb the philosophic repose of the sage at Monticello, and the reveries of the " Farmer " at Worcester, as we have already turned the brain of their satraps and subalterns here.
(Bost. Gen.)
Political Speculations.—It is difficult to account for, or to conceive what the mo- tives of the First Consul could be for driving England to the necessity of re- newing the war. In almost every point of view it is entered upon with great dis- advantage to France. France has much to lose—nothing to gain. England much to gain, and nothing that France, desti- tute as she is of shipping, can take from her. All the colonies of England are safe —all those of France and her allies are at the mercy of England. With respect to Bonaparte's means of carrying on the war —he has an exhausted treasury, without a revenue that can, in any degree propor- tioned to the necessity, be rendered so
productive as to recruit it—the very life blood of revenue, commerce and manu- factures, being extinct: And his allies are still more destitute, for they have been squeezed dry as an old orange by him— indeed he has himself acknowledged that in his celebrated view of the Republic . If he could hope ever to invade Ireland or England with success, it would not be with such an annihilated navy—but on a future day, when peace would enable him to raise a navy in some respect able to cope with that of Great Britain. He can- not by war extend his conquests in the Levant—Malta stands in the way and forbids that. War may diminish but can- not possibly increase his controul over Holland or Spain—and it may inflame the brave Swis with a renovated fire of patriotism. Italy is as humiliated to his views as he could make her. He has left nothing in the countries through which he has passed for him to plunder; and there are no other countries in Europe for him to rob and revolutionize.
But it may be said—Yes! there is Por- tugal. To this we answer, that to touch it will turn out as to him highly impolitic —madness—since it will afford England a fair pretext for overrunning all South America, and annexing to her possessions the valuable island of Madeira.
On the other hand what are his dangers. All Europe, whatever present fear may make them pretend, will be on the watch to rise and shake off the yoke. If he at- tacks the Emperor, Russia and Prussia must take a share in it. He cannot now inflame the people with the tocsin of "Aristocrate." It is not against the Bour- bons, it is in a war of his making the French are to fight. That dreadful in- strument with which he moved France is vanished—" Enthusiasm ." That has fled thence and passed over to his enemies.
All our reasonings on this subject are grounded on opinions held in the London papers of all sides and not denied by any. —Nothing is better known than that the French and other colonies are anxious to be restored to Britain. The Dutch East India Islands have expressed a firm deter- mination not to let in the Dutch—and St. Domingo is eternally lost to France. In short, by this war all hopes of colonial possessions, increase of navy, of com- merce, and of prosperity, are cut off from France forever.
Great—stupendous, great must those motives be, which could induce Bonaparte to go to war under such disadvantages. What they are time alone will unfold. In the mean while we think that if his greatest enemy were allowed to advise him, he could not have put him upon a plan more completely fitted to overturn the Consular Government of France, and set up something else in its room.

United States of America, Fifth Circuit, Virginia Dist trict, May Term, 1803.
Under a Decree of the said Court, we the Commissioners will ex- pose to public sale, for ready money, on the premises, at 12 o'clock on Friday the 19th day of August next, That valuable and extensive
FARM,
called Mount Salus, alias Millthorpe, ly- ing in Fairfax county, on Difficult and Wolfe Trap runs; containing by deed 550 acres, and by survey 673 acres. The mansion house is on a high, healthy and agreeable situation, convenient to which are springs of good water. The house is 40 by 18 feet, two rooms on a floor, with a nine feet passage and stair case, 2 brick chimneys, with a fire place to each room, a piazza the whole length of the front, a cellar 40 by 18, walled with stone and divided into two appart- ments. There are several small build- ings, near the mansion house and gar- den. There are, also, a valuable mer- chant and grist mill, saw mill, distillery, miller's house and overseer's house. The mill house is 40 by 30, two story high, half the lower story of stone, the other part of wood, and covered with shingles. There are one pair of Burr and one pair of Cologne stones, three bolting cloths al- most new, one screen, all now in use in manufacturing wheat and grinding grist. The still house 40 by 30, one story high, walls of stone and shingled roof, the floors planked, the upper laid for malting grain, and troughs fixed round the whole house constructed to carry water to every vessel which may need it. Three stills and one boiler can be worked to advan- tage in the said house. The waters of Wolfe Trap, on which the mill and saw mill stand, are constant streams. The situation for country customers, or pur- chasing wheat, is exceeded by none in the county or neighbourhood, not being more than 17 miles from Alexandria or George Town, where there are excellent markets for country produce of every de- scription, and about 19 miles from Wash- ington. The land is fertile and produc- tive, and the soil well adapted to receive improvement from the use of plaster of Paris. There are upwards of 1000 pan- nels of fence on the land, and about 160 or 170 acres of well timbered land belong- ing to the tract. There have been nearly 20 acres of timothy made, lying on Wolf Trap and Difficult runs; 50 acres more may be made at a small expence. This farm enjoys many natural advantages, which are unnecessary for us to mention, it being taken for granted that every per- son wishing to buy such property will avail themselves of an opportunity of viewing the premises, previous to the day of sale, capt. James Wiley, residing near the land, will shew the premises, and also a plat of the survey, which is left with him for the information of those concerned.
The title papers will be exhibited on the day of sale.
