CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. — HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday Feb. 11, 1803.
INVALID PENSIONS.
On motion of Mr. Helmes the house went into committee of the whole, Mr. John C. Smith in the chair, on the following bill:
A BILL
To make provision for Persons that have been disabled by known Wounds received in the actual service of the United States, during the Revolutionary War.
Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, That any commissioned officer, non-commissioned officer, soldier, or seaman, disabled in the actual service of the United States, by wounds received during the revolutionary war, and who did not desert the said service, shall be intitled to be placed on the pension list of the United States during life: Provided, That in substantiating the claims thereto, the rules and regulations following, shall be complied with.
1st. All evidence shall be taken on oath or affirmation, before the judge of the district in which such invalid resides, or before some person specially authorized by commission from the said judge.
2d. The evidence relative to any claimant, must prove decisive disability to have been the effect of known wounds received while in the actual line of this duty, in the service of the United States, during the revolutionary war: that this evidence must be the affidavits of the commanding officer or surgeon of the ship, regiment, corps, or company, in which such claimant served, or two other credible witnesses to the same effect, setting forth the time and place of such known wound.
3d. Every claimant shall be examined on oath or affirmation, by some respectable physician or surgeon, to be authorized by commission from the said judge, who shall report in writing his opinion, upon oath or affirmation, of the nature of said disability, and in what degree it prevents the claimant from obtaining his livelihood.
4th. Every claimant must produce evidence of his having continued in the service of the United States, to the conclusion of the war in seventeen hundred and eighty-three, or being left out of the service in consequence of his disability, or in consequence of derangement of the army, and of the mode of life or employment he has since followed, and of the original existence and continuance of his disability.
5th. Every claimant must show satisfactory cause to the said judge of the district, why he did not apply for a pension, in conformity to laws heretofore passed, before the expiration of the limitation thereof.
6th. No evidence of any claimant shall be admitted whose claim has heretofore been legally examined and rejected.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the said judge of the district shall give to each claimant a transcript, of the evidence and proceedings, had respecting his claims; and shall also transmit a list of such claims, accompanied by the evidence herein directed, to the secretary of the department of war, in order that the same may be compared with the muster rolls and other documents in his office, and if found to accord therewith, the applicants are thenceforth to be placed on the pension list of the United States: Provided, That in no case a pension shall commence before the first day of January, eighteen hundred and three, except so far as to offset the commutation of half pay received by such officers, in which case the proper officer is to calculate the pension from the first day of January, seventeen hundred and eighty four.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the pensions allowed by this act shall be estimated in the manner following, that is to say: A full pension to a commissioned officer shall be considered the one half of his monthly pay, as by law established, and the proportions less than a full pension, shall be like proportion of half pay. And a full pension to a non-commissioned officer, private soldier or seaman, shall be a ve dollars per month,
and the proportions less than a full pension, shall be the like proportions of five dollars per month.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the pensions becoming due in virtue of this act, shall be paid in the same manner as invalid pensions are paid, who have heretofore been placed on the pension list of the United States, under such restrictions and regulations, in all respects, as are prescribed by the laws of the United States, in such cases provided.
Mr. Elmer moved to strike out the 6th rule in the first section.
Mr. Griswold said the effect of this motion being adopted would be to open the door to all claims whatever, though they had been fully examined and rejected. He was therefore against it.
Mr. Elmer replied that almost all the claims rejected, had been rejected because sufficient testimony had not been produced before the expiration of the last law, and not from an inability in the applicants to produce satisfactory testimony in case they had been indulged with time.
The amendment was lost, Ayes 20.
The second section being under consideration;
Mr. Eustis observed that it was extremely disagreeable to object to a bill whose object was so beneficent, but he was persuaded that it was impossible for the judges to execute the duties assigned them. Against the exercise of like duties they had already protested. The number of persons having just claims on the government was extremely small; and this provision will encourage a great mass of fruitless applications; whereby great expense would be incurred by the applicants without any remuneration. He hoped, therefore, the Secretary of War would be suffered to receive the applications; and be authorised to institute a prior tribunal for the decision of claims; or to make report to Congress. His objection to imposing the duties on the judges was insurmountable. They could not coolly investigate in open court the merits of each particular case; when an applicant appeared before them, whose very appearance indicated his wretchedness, there would be too powerful an address to their sensibilities as men to resist his demand; and they would generously and magnanimously allow him, without rigid enquiry, what he claimed.
Mr. S. Smith said he liked the bill as it stood, better than he should if it were altered conformably to the wishes of the gentleman from Massachusetts. He was inclined to think military men would be more liberal than the judges. If it were in such a situation, he knew he should. And what was the danger to be apprehended from such a fellow feeling?
The greatest danger was that some unfortunate wretch, who had too much pride to apply for relief until his distresses forced him, should obtain the relief which his country had awarded him for risking his life and his all in defence of his country's freedom. Suppose that one, two, or three or that even one, two, or three hundred of these unfortunate men should get on the pension list; and that in most of the cases in which relief was furnished government were deceived; he would give his consent to the provision, if but twenty worthy men of the number, that were now excluded, were brought on the list.
The committee rose, and reported the bill with amendments.
On the 14th of February the Bill was again taken up and several amendments made.
Mr. Van Rensselaer moved an amendment, making provision for those who had been disabled in service, since the revolution, in the Indian War—he had observed in his examinations at the War Office that several of Wayne's Army would have been entitled to a place on the pension list, had they applied in season.
The amendment was lost.
On the question of engrossing the bill for a third reading:
Mr. Griswold said he was opposed to the bill, and should vote against the engrossment. It would open too wide a door. It opened a door for every one who had received the least wound in the revolutionary war to enter a claim—the whole community would be called upon to prove facts and circumstances—and in every case where a wound had been, or was declared to have been received, if the situation of the person was disagreeable, if he was not wealthy, his
neighbors would feel for him, and would recommend him to the government, in order to be freed from the trouble of providing for him themselves. Under all circumstances the government would be frequently subjected to fraud. What had the government done? Every thing which was reasonable and proper for them to do. Commissioners had been appointed in every part of the United States. And the period for receiving claims, and hearing evidences, had been extended from one time to another. Was it not to be supposed, that those who had neglected to produce their claims, were not entitled to the relief which the bill provided? There were undoubtedly some individuals, who from pride, or some other cause had not made their situation public; but was it reasonable and proper for this cause, to open a door at which the poor of every State, County, Town and parish in the Union might enter? It would induce exertion on the part of these corporations, to bring them forward, in order to relieve themselves from the expence of supporting them. There might be a few cases, as gentlemen had stated, to which the general government should extend their relief. But, however, powerfully benevolence might plead in their favor, justice did not demand this excess of generosity.
Mr. Randolph wished to know why there was a greater objection to allowing further time to the disabled soldier of the revolution to make good his claim on the justice of the government, than there was to allowing further time to the holders of military land warrants to cure the same. He did not take the distinction between the case of the man who had bled in the defence of the liberties of his country, and that of the owner of a land warrant. He did not perceive why the one should be excluded while the other was not. We are told that every pauper wounded in the revolutionary war who is at this time a charge upon the parish, will apply to us for aid, and his parochial relief be withdrawn under the idea of getting relief from the general government. And why not? was not government as much bound as any parish in the union, to support that man whose poverty and wounds were to be traced to his exertions in the revolution? The only reason for the relief of the poor of the parish was its being the mode of enforcing a moral obligation; and was not the moral obligation as strong on the government, as on a parish. He did believe that the act of bearing arms during the revolution produced an obligation on the part of the government to preserve from want the soldier who had fought and bled in the service of his country.
Mr. S. Smith said that in many of the states, particularly the one to which the gentleman (Mr. Griswold) belonged, the situations of those people were known. The state being divided into small towns, the inhabitants were known to each other, and those who were entitled to pensions were advised to the proper mode of obtaining them. He believed it would be found that every man in that state (Con.) was on the pension list who ought to be placed there; while Maryland had but five on the list, altho' she furnished as many soldiers as Connecticut. He would not say however that those of the latter were improperly placed on the list. If the gentleman (Mr. G.) would cast his eyes over the records, he would be convinced that something ought to be done. Suppose the government should pay two or three thousand dollars a year to fraudulent applicants, it would be better than to deprive even twenty of a claim to which their services justly entitled them.
Mr. Varnum agreed with the gentleman from Connecticut, (Mr. Griswold) He was willing to make provision which should include all who had the same claim on public justice. When people talked of moral obligation, he wished to know why they would exclude so large a portion of those who were equally entitled to relief, all those who were engaged in the commencement of the war, and who received wounds that were felt at this day. All those who were entitled in the first year of the war; he knew fifty instances of those who had received wounds at that time. If that was justice, he had not before known what it was. He would go all lengths, and give equal justice, but to that partial mode of proceeding he would never give his assent.
The question on engrossing the bill was taken & carried in the affirmative Yeas 51.
REPORT.
Of the Commissioners appointed in pursuance of an act for the amicable settlement of limits with the State of Georgia, and authorizing the establishment of a Government in the Mississippi Territory.
THE commissioners appointed in pursuance of the act entitled, "An act for an amicable settlement of limits with the State of Georgia, and authorizing the establishment of a government in the Mississippi territory," in obedience to the provisions of the act supplemental to the last mentioned act—respectfully submit the following report on the claim made by settlers and other persons, to lands within the territory situate west of the river Chattahoochee, and south of the cession made to the United States, by South Carolina.
(Continued.)
The act of Georgia, of the 13th February, 1796, as well as several subsequent acts, has made provision for the repayment of the money, deposited as the consideration of the purchase; and the document (G) shows that 310,695 dollars and fifteen cents, have been withdrawn under those laws. The commissioners have not been able to procure the evidence, on which those sums were paid; it is however understood, that supposing the title from Georgia to have been valid, not more than five or six millions of acres have been fairly surrendered by the parties, who have received that money.
A great majority of the persons who claim the lands not surrendered, have signed the propositions of compromise, hereto annexed, (H), by which they offer to relinquish their claims, provided that the United States shall pay them at the rate of twenty-five cents per acre, for the nominal quantities of land, claimed by them; which after making the proper deductions for lands, which have been surrendered, would make a gross sum, of about 8 500,000 dollars, with interest from the year 1806; provided, however, that the principal and interest, shall not exceed the proceeds of those five million of acres, in the territory, which shall ultimately be sold for the highest price.
The commissioners think those propositions inadmissible, and without pretending to affirm, that the legislature of the state of Georgia was competent to make the decision, they feel no hesitation, in declaring it as their opinion, that under all the circumstances which may affect the case, as they have come within their knowledge, and as herein stated, the title of the claimants cannot be supported.
But nevertheless, believe that the interest of the United States, the tranquillity of those who may hereafter inhabit that territory, and various equitable considerations, which may be urged in favor of most of the present claimants, render it expedient to enter into a compromise on reasonable terms.
Under that impression, a plan is respectfully submitted to the consideration of congress, which although it does not give a full indemnity to every claimant, is believed, from such information as has been received, to give, in the aggregate, nearly as much, as has been paid in the whole, by all the present claimants.
As it is understood and generally agreed, that the five millions of acres reserved by the agreement with Georgia constitute the fund from which the indemnity is to be paid, it is of primary importance in order to guard against any depreciation, that the nominal sum in money, which may be offered as an indemnity, should not exceed what the fund may be thought amply sufficient to discharge. The probable amount of the annual sales, and the price affixed to the land by Congress, furnish the only data by which that sum can be determined. The commissioners have supposed that the sales could not reasonably be estimated to yield more than three or four hundred thousand dollars annually; and although it has been presumed that in opening a land office, the price of the land will at present, be fixed at two dollars per acre; they have believed that it would be improper to assume the payment of any sum out of the proceeds of the lands, which would bind Congress not to reduce the price hereafter, if other considerations shall render that reduction expedient.
It is after having considered the subject in that point of view, that the commissioners have been induced to submit the

following propositions as the basis of a compromise.  1st. That so much of five millions of acres as shall remain after having satisfied the claims of settlers and others, not recognized by the agreement with Georgia, which shall be confirmed by the United States, be appropriated for the purpose of satisfying and quitting the claims of the persons who desire their claims from an act of the state of Georgia, passed on the 7th day of January, 1795; for which purpose, the several companies or claimants under those companies shall be permitted to locate the quantity of land allotted to them, on any part of the territory they claim, to which the Indian title has not yet been extinguished; provided, however, that the whole shall be located in no more than six tracts; and provided also, that each tract shall extend the whole breadth or length of the territory claimed by the parties respectively, and shall not have a greater proportion front on the rivers, than the whole territory thus claimed.
2d. That the claimants may, nevertheless, receive in lieu of the said lands, certificates bearing interest from the first Jan. 1804, to the amount of 2,500,000 dollars, or, at their option, certificates without interest to the amount of 6,000,000 dollars; which certificates shall, in either case, be paid (principal and interest) out of the proceeds of the sales of public lands in the territory of the United States, abovenmentioned, next ensuing the completion of the payment of 1,250,000 dollars to be made to the state of Georgia; and shall also be receivable in payment for the lands purchased in the territory, as soon as the payment to Georgia shall be completed.
3d. That the lands or certificates shall be apportioned amongst the several companies in the following manner, that is to say: The proportion to each company, exclusively of the tracts which may have been surrendered, shall, on every 500 dollars or acres which shall be allowed in whole, be as followeth:    For the upper Mississippi company, exclusive of citizens rights,  35    For the Tennessee, do. do.  60    For the Georgia Mississippi, do. do.  155    For the Georgia, do. do. not exceeding  225    For citizen's rights, not exceeding  25     500  
4th. That every original grant, deed, or other evidence of claim, from which the companies or claimants derive, or pretend to derive, their respective claims, shall be exhibited to the secretary of state, within a twelvemonth, & there recorded, at the expence of the parties; and, unless thus recorded, shall never be admitted or considered as evidence in any of the courts of the United States, against any other grant from the state of Georgia, or from the United States.
5th. That after all the claims shall have been exhibited, the lands or certificates allotted to each company, shall be apportioned in proportion to the quantity of lands supposed to be contained within the respective claims, amongst the several claimants under each company, by commissioners who shall also have power to decide, in conformity to the principles of law and equity, on all conflicting claims within each company.
6th. That each individual claimant shall be allowed to have the benefit of these terms, for the amount of his claim thus ascertained, and to receive, at his option, his proportion either of lands, or certificates bearing interest, or of certificates without interest.  All of which is respectfully submitted.
JAMES MADISON, ALBERT GALLATIN, LEVI LINCOLN.
NEW-YORK, February 21.  By the arrival of the ship Betsy from Liverpool, and the Ann from Hull, we have received files of London and Provincial papers, to the first of January, and Commercial Shipping-Lists and Prices Current to the last of December. These papers add very little to our former stock of intelligence.  Private letters from Havre mention, that four thousand Soldiers, of the most disreputable description in the eyes of the French Government, are ordered to embark for St. Domingo. They are not
who have been taken from the galleys, or have served under the Allies; those who are accused of Revolutionary Crimes, and whose loyalty to the Consulate is suspected. The embarkation of these men, while it shews a determination on the part of France to retain St. Domingo, implies that the Regular Troops are not very willing to go upon the Service, or that the government does not wish to throw them away on such an enterprise.
Private accounts from Paris state, that the First Consul will, in a short time, nominate for his Successor the son of Madame Louis Bonaparte, and appoint a Council of Regency, consisting of Generals Murat and Moncey, Cambacérès, and the Grand Judge, at the head of which his brother Joseph is to be placed. The College of Princes is, according to the same advices, to be composed of the great Officers of the Legion of Honour, the Presidents of the Deliberating Body, the Presidents of the Sections of the Council, of State, and an Upper Chamber, taken from the Senate.
A duty of 400 francs has been laid in France on every five myriagrams of white cottons, stiched, embroidered, or striped, imported from abroad.
According to letters from Transylvania, the most melancholy accounts are daily received there of the damage done by the earthquake which took place on the 26th of October. In 28 villages in Harun Szeck, the most beautiful part of the district of Szeckler, a single church steeple has not been left standing. At Galacz, in Moldavia, more than sixty persons have been crushed under the ruins of their houses. At Borndorf the church and ninety houses were thrown down by the violence of the shock.

Alexandria Advertiser.  NONDAY FEBRUARY 28.
The Managers of the Alexandria Assemblies, finding that Mr. Gadby has made such arrangements for the next Assembly, on Tuesday, as will render a postponement till that day week very inconvenient—Give notice that the next Assembly will accordingly be TO-MORROW, which will be the last this season.
Communication.  It should have been known to the Citizen Smilie, that in place of our being abject slaves, and the honorable Congress our honorable tyrants, that we are better represented than any district in the United States. We have one representative for about 12 or 15,000 inhabitants while our neighbors have only one for every 30 or 40,000; unless, indeed, we deserve to be called slaves for permitting our representative the honorable Colonel P. to make
laws for us, a la mode de l' aristocrate without even consulting his constituents.
Extract of a letter from Paris, Dec. 12d 1802, to a person in Philadelphia.  "Yesterday Gen. Victor, the captain General of Louisiana, left this city in company with J. J. Ayme, the Etat Major, and the officers of the administration of the colony, to embark from Helvoet-sluis for New Orleans. The Packet set out for Rochefort a few days since, to take his passage from thence in a corvette, and to make preparations for the arrival of the troops at New Orleans."
We hear by the arrival of the Maria, that gen. La Crosse has prohibited the exportation of Coffee, from Guadalupe in American bottoms, and it is no less material to the interest of importers of sugars from thence, to be informed that he has likewise laid an additional duty of 3 per centum on that commodity.  (Phil. Pap.)
FROM ROTTERDAM.  Yesterday arrived at this port the ship Alnomack, Capt. Cleveland, in 41 days from Rotterdam. Through the politeness of Capt. C. we have been furnished with a file of Rotterdam papers to the 25th Dec. from which several extracts are made in this day's Gazette.
Capt. C. informs us, that 12 transports, chiefly American vessels, and 2 frigates, were lying at Helvoet Sluis, waiting to receive troops on board for Louisiana; that the Commander in Chief, Gen. Victor, had arrived at Rotterdam with his suite, and that it was expected they would depart in the course of a month or six weeks.  (Bost. Gaz.)
MANDAMUS.  Washington, February 24, 1803.  The Chief Justice this day declared the opinion of the court at great length on the motion of Mr. C. Lee, for a rule to shew cause why a Mandamus should not issue to compel James Madison, Secretary of State of the United States, to deliver to William Marbury, and others, their commissions of the peace for the district of Columbia.
The case had been argued this term by Mr. Lee with great ability, on the part of Marbury and others—no cause was shown.  The evidence, arguments of counsel, and the opinion of the court, will be published in a report of this term, preparing for the press.
The questions considered by the court in delivering their opinions, are—  1st. Has the applicant a right to the commission he demands?  2d. If he has a right, and that right has been violated, do the laws of his country afford him a remedy?  3dly. If they do afford him a remedy, is it by a mandamus issuing from this Court?  On the first point it was the opinion of the court, that such right did exist: 2dly. That he was intitled to a remedy—but on the third question, it was determined, that the act of Congress giving the power to the supreme Court, to issue a writ of mandamus in such a case, was unconstitutional and consequently void. The rule therefore was dismissed.

TO BE SOLD,
At Public Sale, on Thursday the tenth of March,
THE subscriber's life estate, in that valuable FARM , known by the name of the Walnut-Tree Farm, situate on the south side of the river Potomac, about four miles below Alexandria. This farm contains 360 acres, of which about 100 are in wood, and the rest arable. The buildings consist of a two story brick house, handsomely finished, and a two story frame kitchen adjoining the house; a two story frame house for an overseer; a frame quarter capable of accommodating 15 or 20 persons; and a large well built barn, with grainaries, stables, and an extensive shed for cattle. The beauty and salubrity of this situation is exceeded by none on the river Potomac. The arable land is divided into convenient fields, and the soil is good for the production of small grain. There are on the premises a thriving young orchard of apple and peach trees, and about 40 acres of wheat in the ground.
The extent of this farm on the river (being more than a mile) affords an opportunity for an industrious farmer to collect large quantities of manure, and the excellent FISHERY attached to it, on which are two very good and convenient fish houses, must greatly enhance its value.
At the same time will be sold on the premises (if not disposed of before at private sale) upwards of twenty NEGROES together with the Stock of Horses, Cattle, Sheep and farming utensils on the place.
The terms of payment to be cash for all sums under one hundred dollars; from one to two hundred dollars, sixty days credit; and for all sums above two hundred dollars, one half in sixty, and one half in ninety days, the purchaser giving approved notes negotiable in the Banks of Alexandria or Columbia.
