LITERARY FAIR.
Address of the Printers and Booksellers to their Brethren of the U. States.
A HAPPY suggestion addressed to your good sense has, as if by magic, produced the first Literary Fair , which commenced in the city of New-York, on the first of the present month, and has been constantly and actively attended every day to the present. Business has been transacted to an extent exceeding the most sanguine expectations, and from the experience we have already had, the greatest advantages may be anticipated to the art of printing, and the interests of literature in our fortunate country.
The project had to struggle with many apparent disadvantages. Its novelty; the want of previously fixed regulations; the remoteness of the persons concerned, from each other; the expence of travelling, all seemed to throw impediments in its way; but in a country, where every thing appears to be newly created and original: where cities are founded and states created, with a facility unprecedented in history; and where the activity of the human understanding has, in various respects, rivalled and surpassed the experience and wisdom of the old world, it is not surprising that prejudice should not prevail, even with these obstacles combined. Its success has been equal to all other bold efforts, founded on a deliberate study of society in the United States; and already, without any other system than what results from liberality and good sense, indicates how advantageous it must become, when it obtains extension and maturity.
It is to accomplish this object that the booksellers assembled at the first Literary Fair , have thought proper to address their brethren generally, and to present to them such views as may engage their co-operation.
By the simple operation of exchange, perhaps not less than half a million of volumes are put into circulation, which might have lain on the shelves for years, under the limited operations of trade hitherto existing. Activity is thus given to a dead capital; individuals are benefited by the variety of their stock; new connections, leading to a more extensive and certain trade, are formed; and industry acquires not only additional subsistence, but a more vigorous life.
Amongst the most important consequences of this institution, it has been provided that the humble printer or bookseller, with a small capital, is placed upon equal terms with his opulent neighbour—he is saved from the expences and fatigues hitherto so discouraging, attendant on traversing the Union, to dispose of the fruit of his labour—he has now a fixed market, where he may exhibit the whole of his work, or a sample—and he may participate in the profit, by exchange with the more opulent capitalist.
In a more extensive view, the well-known principle is applied to our business, that trade multiplies by its own activity, as much as by the wants which originally gave birth to commerce; ahy it applies more strongly; for, besides the demand for books, from the ordinary necessities of education and entertainment, the demand will be found to increase with the improvement of morals and taste—with the growth of wealth and the progress of science—with the prosperity of commerce, and even with the facility of obtaining works of utility and genius, in every city and every town; even the improvements in the art of printing; the embellishments of the paper-maker, type-founder, printer, engraver, and book-binder—arts, which are called dependent, in various degrees, on our exertions and activity, will increase our trade.
Every means by which we can improve these arts, tend to the public good, as well as to the good of the individuals: we should therefore enter into a generous emulation—not the rivalry of jealousy among ourselves, but a competition with those countries, the excellency of whose productions already engross so immense a proportion of our market.
By employing our natural means, we shall possess a larger proportion than at present, of our natural commerce—we shall secure to our own country the circulation of vast sums which at present are carried into other countries, to invigorate their industry at the expence of our negligence, while we possess all the means required to secure the benefits to ourselves.
To remedy these things, we recommend to our brethren, particular attention to the
execution of such works as they undertake. Hitherto much just censure has been bestowed on American editions; that censure has lately become less frequent; correct it altogether. Print on good paper, cleanly—above all, correctly. The labour of the corrector of proofs is grievous—but the toil is compensated by the certainty of sale, and the credit that follows the correct printer. The discredit of printing one incorrect book, extends itself to the succeeding labors of the printer, however well he may execute subsequent undertakings.
Equal attention is due to the style of binding, as to the quality of the paper. It is the apparel of books; and books, like men, are often judged by their exterior.
Attention to these particulars are among the causes why foreign books are preferred to our own. We shall not go into any anticipation of a period when our Fair may become the resort of learned men, as purchasers, as is the custom now in Germany and Italy, though the period cannot be remote.
Besides the attention of the execution of works correctly and neatly, we cannot omit another important consideration, an attention to the character of the books to be published; we do not mean to proscribe, or recommend any books on religious opinions, but to guard against works which sap the foundations of virtue and morality as is woefully felt in many of the old nations. We owe it to our families, to obstruct by all just means the printing or publishing of vicious books; and we owe it to our country particularly to furnish this, as an additional evidence in favor of liberty, that we exhibit an example of purity in the only free press in the world, and of our devotion to virtue over the nations of Europe where the press is in shackles.
We solicit the earnest consideration of these objects by our brethren—and we expect from them an active co-operation in all parts of the Union. Those concerned in printing and bookselling, where there is more than one, should associate, form regulations, and communicate with similar associations which are or may be formed—they should communicate information on business—what books are printed, printing, proposed to be printed, or likely to meet a favorable sale.
These views pursued at Boston, New-York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Charleston, S.C. would be soon followed by the lesser cities and towns—they would communicate with each other, transmit copies of their rules of association, and the result of the experience of these variously diffused bodies, would tend to the perfecting of the great national objects at our semi-annual Fairs, which are agreed to be held for the present, as expressed in the following resolutions:
I. RESOLVED, That it be earnestly recommended to the Printers and Booksellers throughout the United States, to use their utmost endeavors to improve the quality of the books they undertake to publish, in order to establish and support the reputation of the American manufacture of books, and render it deserving of the patronage of the friends of their country.
II. RESOLVED, That it be likewise recommended to our brethren, to avoid, as much as may be, any interference with the interests of each other, by the republication of books already printed in the U. S. and of which there is a sufficient supply to be had on reasonable terms.
III. RESOLVED, That it be recommended to the importers of books to discontinue as far as may be the importation of all books, of which good & correct editions are printed in this country, and on which a liberal discount is made by the publishers.
IV. RESOLVED, That the continuation of the Literary Fair be strongly recommended to all persons interested in the publication of books in this country; and that it be held twice a year, every year, on the first Tuesday of April in New-York, and on the first Tuesday of October in Philadelphia.
V. RESOLVED, That it be recommended to the booksellers in the principal towns of the United States to form themselves into associations, for the purpose of corresponding with each other, in order to promote the general interest; and that every person publishing a book, be recommended to forward specimens of the printing and paper, with the terms of sale, to the secretaries of such associations, for the information of the members.
New-York, June 5, 1802.
From the Washington Federalist.
Antifederal Misrepresentations, No. 96,700.
The National Intelligencer has undertaken to give a list of what is called 'federal misrepresentations.' Among them we find some, which which were published
by the great champion and apostle of the democratic cause, J. T. Callender. Upon what principle his statements can be called federal it is difficult to determine, unless it is because they bear the mark of truth; on that ground they certainly deserve the title. Upon the same principle Jones has called Callender a federalist, because he dared to point out a few inconsistencies of the present administration.—But Mr. Jones has the wrong sow by the ear this time; Callender knows too much of him to be trodden upon.
A friend in need is a friend indeed Mr. Jones; why do you not therefore, call upon your old friend the Apollonian Aurora , to lend you a few of his effulgent rays in this time of darkness and distress? Perhaps Callender knows too much of this splendid luminary likewise: Or do you think that this 'precurfor of eternal day,' (as certain toastmasters have styled it) is nothing more than a jack-o'-lantern, which serves but to lead the thoughtless and unwary into the bogs of ignorance, and then leave them as 'monuments' of stupidity and folly.
The following observations of this self-created Censor , may serve to shew his abilities for the office, with which he has invested himself, and the faithfulness with which he discharges its duties:
'During the last session, the president, in order to demonstrate the magnitude of executive patronage, and to guard against its possible abuse, presented to congress a document, containing a view of all the existing offices, with the emoluments attached to each.'
'In the civil department there appear with the exception of all the post-masters, and a host of inferior officers, to be 2,044.'
'Of this number, in a period of fifteen months,
33 have been removed on a variety of grounds above specified.
21 new appointments have been made to offices attempted to be filled by Mr. Adams, after he lost the confidence of the nation.
54 making altogether.'
The above observations were intended to alarm the people with the danger of executive patronage, to excite distrust in the general government, and to impress the people with a belief, that the number of officers dismissed, is very small in comparison with those remaining; being less, by a host of inferior officers, than 1-37th of the whole. Let us now see with what bare faced effrontery, the people are attempted to be deceived, and that too, by persons, who are in the very act of condemning others for misrepresentations, and under the profession of giving correct information themselves, of correcting and exposing the mistakes of their opponents.
Upon a careful examination of the document referred to in the above extract, I find that there are but 412 officers in the whole civil department, who are appointed by, and subject to, the removal of the president. By officers in the civil department, I mean, all those who are not in the army or navy, including the post-masters and that host of inferior officers which the writer of the above alluded to, professes to exclude, in his enumeration of 2,044. This will reduce the proportion from 1-37th to less than 1-8th, but this proportion may be reduced much more, by examining the subject more particularly.
1. Out of the 412, there are some who hold two offices, which could not be accurately ascertained without much labor.
2. There were many of the same political sentiments with Mr. Jefferson when he came into office.
3. There were many offices vacant which he had an opportunity of filling with his own set set.
4. There were some few appointments to office which had never before been filled in the consular department.
5. There were a number which, from the remoteness of their situation and the smallness of their compensation, entirely excluded competition.
6. There were several employed in collecting the internal revenues, which the president expected would be dismissed by law therefore would not take the odium and responsibility upon himself, as the term of service was so short.
Taking all these circumstances into consideration, and viewing only those, over whom the President exercised a free uncontrolled will, unbiaised by fear, by policy, or by interest, and the number, dismissed will be found to bear a very large proportion to those retained.
In taking a view of the 'political into-
lerance' of the present administration, I will not be considered improper I presume to state those likewise, that have been missed by law, as they were not less tyros to their political sentiments, nor the victims of party rancour, than the who fell by the arbitrary mandates of the president.
The repeal of the judiciary law, and the internal taxes, was no doubt recommended by the same spirit, which deprived so many worthy officers, so many helpful and amiable families of their only means of support. If they deserve such conduct as magnanimous, liberal and tolerant what would they allow to be illiberal, intolerant and persecuting? With such men the proscriptions of Marcas and Sylla, and the bloody persecutions of the triumvirate viewed through the medium of philosophy would be considered, but as the exercises of liberty, the certain indications of a found and healthy constitution.

Alexandria Advertiser. FRIDAY, JUNE 18. By the snow George, from Cape Fran- cois, in ten days, we are informed that Toussaint had revolted, in consequence of which three divisions of Leclerc's troops had been engaged with the blacks, and very roughly handled—no quarters given. (Aurora.)
In corroboration of the above, we have obtained the subjoined extracts of letters, received in this city, from the most re- spectable authority:— [Phil. pap. Cape-Francois, May 28. "We have just received information that a French fleet lately arrived at Gua- daloupe, met with the same fate as the fleet that arrived here, likewise the inha- bitants—the town was entirely consumed by the fire, as well as the country. On the landing of the troops 800 of the French were killed—Pelage as well as the rest had surrendered, but one [Commandant, his name and station I am unacquainted with, on the 25th surprised a French post and killed every man. "In a few days after Toussaint had sur- rendered, he asked permission to go on one of his plantations, for which it was grant- ed by the General in Chief. We have just received information by General Chris- tophe, that Toussaint had decamped with a strong body of troops in opposition to the French. "In the small time of his being here, he discovered the force of the French, which, or 30,000 soldiers brought into the island, there only remain about 18 or 20,000, and there are dying every day 10 to 12 in this place.—There is in the hospital at the Mole, 2000 sick men. I feel convin- ced, if there should not arrive from France some reinforcements in a very little time we shall find ourselves in a great deal of trouble, and not unlikely that Toussaint will still be Governor of St. Domingo, which is the fear of every citizen." May 29. "Toussaint has again taken up arms, but I imagine will not be able to do much, as he is only joined by Dessalines, and a considerable force is every day ex- pected here from France. We have re- ceived information that Guadouloupe is in a state of Revolt, and the consequences may be expected to be worse than here, if possi- ble."
Extract of a letter from Cape Francois, dated June 3d, 1802. I had the pleasure to write you on the 29th ult. per the snow George, captain
Bell, who failed on Sunday morning, in company with the ship Olive Branch, of Philadelphia, and the schooner Friendship of Savannah, the same evening I was very much surprised to see three vessels return into port followed, by a French Frigate. I immediately made enquiry respecting the cause, and found they were sent back by the frigate, because in passing by the Ad- miral's ship in the morning, on board of which General Le Clerc, returning from a visit to Tortuda, they had not hoisted their colours, although the Admiral's flag was at the mast head, the three captains were ordered on board the Admiral, on coming to an anchor, and confined to the gun room. I therefore early on the follow- ing morning went on board the Admiral, whom I could not then see, but was desir- ed to return at two o'clock, when the Ad- miral confirmed what I had before heard, and said the Gen. in Chief had condemned the three vessels to pay 128 dollars for the shot which had been fired, and as soon as the money was paid, the captains should have their Liberty. I returned directly to the shore and sent off the money, expect- ing the vessels would sail the next morn- ing, but the General in Chief ordered that the captains should be kept in custody till further orders. I then waited upon Gen. Leclerc with the consignees of the other vessels, and he promised us the vessels should sail to-morrow, and accordingly the captains were released about one o'clock to-day."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at St. Croix to a merchant in New-York, da- ted the 28th ult. "I scarcely know what to advise you to ship to this port, as every kind of American produce is extremely low and unsaleable.— Flour is sold by retail at 10 and 12 dls.; In- dian corn, 18 dols. per hhd. Rye flour, 5— and a small quantity of either of these articles would completely glut the market. For lum- ber of any kind, there is no sale; berring can be sold for no higher price than 3 or 4 dls. and candles than 2 1/2 bits per lb. Rum is scarce and high, on account of the great num- ber of Guernsey men here, who are purchas- ing all they can procure, at 48 and 50 cents. To remit sugars, as you direct, would never answer, for, in order to restrain the planters from shipping them to any other country but Denmark, an extra duty has lately been laid on all that is shipped to any other quarter, which, together with the former rates and permission, will amount to 2 1/2 or 3 dollars per cwt. For the first quality sugars, I should be obliged to pay from 7 1/2 to 8 dollars."
LEGISLATURE OF MASSACHUSETTS. IN SENATE.—June 5. The Hon. Messrs Coffin, Bidwell and Pickman were appointed a committee to wait on the Go- vernor with the following
ANSWER OF THE SENATE TO HIS EXCELLENCY'S SPEECH. May it please your Excellency, The Senate sincerely congratulate your Excellency upon your re-election to the first office of this commonwealth: and how- ever delicate or arduous may be the duties which you are called upon to perform, we doubt not that they will be discharged with that wisdom, impartiality, and re- gard to the best interests of your constitu- ents, which have hitherto marked your public conduct and secured to you their esteem and approbation. In all our deliberations we shall endeavor to keep our excellent constitution steadily in view; to make it the rule and the guide of our conduct; and we hope that all our measures will tend to promote the invaluable objects for which it was ordained and established. We are sensible that government is necessary for man: without it he cannot enjoy the blessings of society. And it is with gratitude we reflect that the citizens of the United States are blest with the freest govern- ments on earth; which emanated from them- selves, and are administered by men of their own appointment. To prove the superiority of these governments, to preserve and perpetuate them, to transmit them unimpaired to the latest posterity, must be the highest ambition of every honest ci- tizen.
With your excellency we feel the necessity and importance of preserving the union of these states. On it, under Divine Providence, de- pend our respectability and safety as a nation, and our happiness as individuals. Incalculable are the evils which might flow from their dis- union. It is, therefore, the duty of all, but more especially of those who are placed in public office, to cultivate and cherish such a spirit as will best tend to avert an event so justly to be deprecated. As the best means, however, of perpetuating our union, the citizens of the United States should be impressed with a due sense of the importance of preserving the federal consti- tution inviolate. To strengthen our national union; to give stability to the constitutions which we have in the most solemn manner engaged to support; to promote a generous confidence in those who are called to administer our govern- ments, and at the same time a vigilant attention to their measures of administration; are not less the dictates of interest than of duty. We trust that the good sense and patriotism of the people will forever preserve the principles of our consti- tutions from violation; and it under the influ-
ence of party zeal, or a mistaken desire to pro- mote the public good any acts should ever be passed inconsistent with those principles, that they will not obtain the sanction of time. And we deem it proper, on this occasion, to declare that we consider an independent judiciary as one of the best supports and most essential attributes of free government.
The experience of an age has proved that there is no evil to which free nations are more exposed than the prevalence of party spirit. It is perhaps the necessary offspring of free govern- ments; but it frequently proves their bane and destruction. It is incumbent therefore on every good citizen carefully to watch over and sup- press such a spirit in himself, to frown upon and discountenance it in others. They, who, to pro- mote party purposes, or to raise themselves to office, invent and give circulation to tales of cal- umny respecting public characters, whatever may be their professions, must have hearts total- ly devoid of every truly virtuous and patriotic principle. They not only injure the persons whom they calumniate, but they do an irrepara- ble injury to the community. They discourage good men from accepting offices of trust and re- sponsibility. They introduce men unprincipled and regardless of character in their stead. They thereby pave the way for the destruction of our present free governments, and will enable some popular and successful usurper to establish his empire on their ruins. We flatter ourselves that the mildness of the American character, and the good sense of the people will preserve them from these evils: but it ought to be deep- ly impressed on their minds, that the only way to avoid the calamities which have befallen other free nations, is to avoid their errors.
The several subjects which your excellency has pointed out for our consideration, and subse- quent communications which you may be pleased to make, shall meet a prompt and respectful at- tention. We shall endeavor to expedite the public business by an assiduous attention to it. We doubt not your excellency's disposition to render the session agreeable to the members of the government, nor of your ready concurrence in every measure calculated to promote the public good.

Jesse Whitman, who absconded on the 14th inst. from the Marine Barracks at Washington, taking with him a small bay mare, about 15 1/2 hands high, with a blaze face, bob tail and hog maned. Whitman is a handsome, fair complexioned young man, about 20 years of age, 5 feet 4 inches high, a fifer and French horn player. Having been sent by the officers to bank with checks, he is full of money and has carried but few clothes with him; his dress was white nan- keen pantaloons and round white striped cotton jacket, vest unknown. He is a talkative, boasting fellow, with much ignorance and great pride.
The above reward will be given for se- curing, and reasonable charges paid for de- livering him at Head Quarters, Washing- ton City. N. B. He was a stage driver between Albany and Schenectady, and his parents live below Schenectady. E. S. LANE, Lt. Marines. June 18. eost

PROPOSALS,
Respectfully submitted to the consideration of the citizens of the District of Columbia, and the public generally, for publishing by subscription in George-Town, A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER, TO BE ENTITLED The Olio.
By B. PARKS and Co.
IT is within the plan of the Editors of this paper, that its contents shall consist of its title: a compound of various ingredients—as politics, news, polite literature; with whatever else may seem most promotive of public good, and conduce towards general usefulness.
No where, perhaps, have the beneficial effects of periodical publications been more generally felt, or duly appreciated, than in this country; and no where, we believe, their abuses might be more justly deprecated; but such is the close affinity between their good and bad consequences, between the liberty and licentiousness of the press, that the most experienced of our political surgeons have uniformly been apprehensive of attempting an excision of the one, lest they might give a mortal wound to the other. Being an evil without a remedy, it shall be our peculiar care not to contribute to its aggravation.
The temper of the times require an avowal of the Editors' political creed. On this head they will be candid and sincere.—They are unequivocally federal.—Believing, without calling into question the views of the present, that the former administrations pursued the best policy that could be devised, for securing the peace and happiness, and promoting the true interests of this country, they declare it their intention, at all times, to advocate measures producing those desirable consequences.
We have ever held the conduct of many of the opposers of the former administrations, in their newspaper publications, in the utmost, and we think, merited contempt. Wilful misrepresentation may deceive for a while, and thereby further the views of those who employ such means; but it is not by resorting to them, that we hope or intend to promote our own interest, much less that of the public. Towards our political opponents we will do as we would be done by—consequently, not attempt to repel the reiterated calumnies, yet heaped upon those no longer in power, by a recrimination of slander on those who now hold the helm of our political barque. Time will show who best understood their country's interest, and will bring with it the most ample justification of the views of those to whom under Providence, we have been, and are indebted for our present prosperity and tranquillity.
Private disputes and personalities shall always be excluded. To this promise the Editors pledge themselves they will religiously adhere.
The papers published at present in the district, being devoted almost entirely to one subject, Politics, the Editors entertain a hope that THE OLIO, conducted on liberal principles, and containing a greater diversity of matter, will meet with public countenance; which they respectfully solicit.
CONDITIONS.
This paper will be published every Thursday morning, in a quarto form, and on a sheet of royal size, which will form a handsome volume, annually, of 416 pages, printed with a new and elegant type.
The price to subscribers will be Two Dollars and Fifty Cents, payable on the receipt of the first number.
It will be delivered at the dwellings of subscribers in Alexandria, every evening of the day of publication, free of any additional expense.
The subscriber informs his friends in Alexandria, and former patrons of the "Columbian Mirror," that he is concerned in the intended publication abovementioned, and will, in the course of a day or two, wait upon those in town for their signatures.

Valuable Property for Sale,
At the little Falls of Potomack, About three miles from George-Town and the City of Washington, and ten from Alexandria.
172 acres of Land, upon which are a dwelling house and sundry other improvements, several stone quarries and fish ponds, and two vacant mill seats.
Two undivided third parts of 7 acres of Land, upon which are a merchant mill, with three pair of French burr mill stones and every necessary, complete, for manufacturing flour to the best advantage, and with as little manual labor as possible; a brewery and distillery, a granary, a miller's house, a brewer's house, cooper's shop, &c. and a vacant mill seat.
Two undivided third parts of 200 acres of land, adjoining the 7 acres and 172 acres abovementioned, upon which here are several stone quarries and fish ponds.
The purchaser of the above property, will have an assignment of a lease for the other undivided third part, of which there will be 6 years to come from the first day of September next.
The stone on the above lands is equal in goodness to any, and superior to most foundation stone on the river—vessels of any burthen that can go to George-Town, can go up to the mill and stone quarries.
Any person or persons, who may incline to purchase, will of course view the premises, therefore it is not thought necessary to be more particular.
