A VIEW
Of the relative strength of parties in the United States in the years 1800 and 1802.
(Continued.)
A second criterion of the relative strength of parties at the close of the year 1800, and the present period, may be found, in some measure, in the political complexion of the federal Senate at those periods. It will, however, be recollected, that as the election of the members of that body is made for six years, the new appointments of Senators within the two last years can but imperfectly exhibit the change of public opinion. As far, however, as it does go, it is conclusively demonstrative of the increase of republicanism.
At the close of 1800 the Senate stood thus:
   Republican. Federal.    New Hampshire 1  Massachusetts 0  Rhode Island 0  Connecticut 0  Vermont 0  New York 1  New Jersey 0  Pennsylvania 0  Delaware 0  Maryland 0  Virginia 2  North Carolina 2  South Carolina 1  Georgia 1  Kentucky 1  Tennessee 2  11  Federal Majority 10  
AT PRESENT the Senate stands thus:
   Republican. Federal.    New Hampshire 0  Massachusetts 0  Connecticut 0  Rhode Island 2  Vermont 1  New York 1  New Jersey 0  Pennsylvania 1  Delaware 0  Maryland 1  Virginia 3  North Carolina 2  South Carolina 2  Georgia 2  Kentucky 2  Tennessee 2  14  Repub. Maj. 4  
It follows, that in a period of two years the Senate has been changed from a federal to a republican body by the appointment of eight republicans in the room of a like number of federal members, which constitutes a change of one fourth of the whole body.
But to exhibit fairly the change which has taken place in the state legislatures, of which the Senate is the constitutional representative, it is necessary to shew what would be the complexion of that body if an entirely new election of Senators were now to take place.
Such an election would produce the following result:
   Republican. Federal.    New Hampshire 0  Massachusetts 0  Rhode Island 2  Connecticut 0  Vermont 2  New York 2  New Jersey 2  Pennsylvania 2  Delaware 0  Maryland 2  Virginia 3  North Carolina 2  South Carolina 2  Georgia 2  Kentucky 2  Tennessee 2  8  Repub. Maj. 10  
It follows that the national will, fully expressed at this time, through the constitutional organ of the state legislatures would give the republicans three-fourths of the members of the Senate.
There is every prospect that this splendid success will attend the republicans in little more than two years and a half. Nor is there wanting the probability
that Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and even Connecticut, will be republican states before that period. In all those states republicanism is gradually gaining ground.
We shall now close this branch of our view with an exhibition of the complexion of the Senate on the 4th day of next March, when the terms of appointment of one-third of the present Senators will expire. There may be some dispute respecting the last period from the remote date to which it refers. There can be none respecting the subjoined statement.
   Repub. Fed.    New Hampshire 0  Massachusetts 0  Rhode Island 2  Connecticut 0  Vermont 2  New York 2   New Jersey 1  Pennsylvania 3  Delaware 1  Maryland 2  Virginia 2  North Carolina 2  South Carolina 2  Georgia 2  Kentucky 2  Tennessee 2  8  Repub. Maj. 16, or three to one.  
Let it be recollected that the Senate has been uniformly represented as the anchor of the constitution, as the shield of liberty. Why it has been so represented, it is no difficult task for us to say. Removed from popular sympathy by the organ of its appointment, and elevated above responsibility by the long period of its power, it partook less of the essence of republican institutions than any other department of the general government. Hence the eulogium lavished by those who dread the people as their own greatest enemies.
But notwithstanding the strength of the fortress, it has yielded to the omnipotence of public opinion. Like the proud oak of the forest its meretricious honors have been blasted by the lightning of liberty.

FROM ROUSSEAU.
Adapt the education of a man to his personal and not accidental abilities. Do you not see that by bringing him up only to fill one station, you make him unfit for every other, and that mere accident may render all the pains you have taken useless, or destructive to him? Is there a more ridiculous being on earth than a lord, become a beggar, and retaining in his misery the prejudice attached to his birth? Is there any thing more vile and contemptible, than a rich man become poor, sensible of the disgrace of poverty, and reduced to the lowest of the human species? The one hath no other resource than to turn common cheat, and the other servilely to put on a livery.
You place a dependence on the actual order of society, without thinking that order subject to unavoidable revolutions. The high may be reduced low, and the rich may become poor, and even the monarch dwindle into a subject. We certainly are approaching the crisis of human establishments, the age of political revolutions. Who can assure you what will be your lot? All that men have made, men may destroy. There are no characters indestructible but those imprinted by nature; and nature never made man royal, noble, or rich. What then will become of the pupil you have educated to live only in splendour, when debased into indigence and meanness? What will become of a farmer of the revenues, whose soul delights in nothing but wealth, when reduced to want and beggary? How miserable must be the situation of that pampered helpless being, who, destitute of every thing, is incapable of providing in the least for himself, and places all his satisfaction in things dependent on others. Happy is he who knows how to quit a rank that is quitting him, and to remain still a man in spite of fortune. Let others lavish what encomiums they please on the frantic behaviour of the vanquished monarch who wanted to buy himself alive in the ruins of his throne; for my part, I hold him in contempt. It appears to me that his existence depended on his crown, stripped of which he was no longer any thing: but the monarch who can throw aside the robes of royalty, and be still himself, is then infinitely superior to a crown. From the rank of a King, which may be filled by a coward, a knave, or
few are able to fill with decency and dignity. Such a man may brave the vicissitudes of fortune, and will triumph over them: he owes nothing to any one but himself, and though destitute of all adventitious aid, is not therefore annihilated. How infinitely preferable in my eyes is the King of Syracuse, turned school-master at Corinth; a King of Macedon become a notary at Rome; to the unhappy Tarquin ignorant how to submit without a kingdom; to the heir of a race of kings become the sport of all who are brutal enough to exult in his misery, wandering from court to court in search of relief, and meeting on every side with nothing but mockery and insult, and all for want of knowing how to exercise any other employment than that in which he had been educated, and which was no longer in his power.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
The question relative to the glebe-lands which has for many years, excited so much attention in this country, has been discussed at much length, during the present term of the high court of chancery. At the last session of assembly an act passed, declaring that the overseers of the poor, in each parish, where there was no incumbent, should proceed to sell the glebe, and apply the money to such purposes as the majority of the parishioners should direct. Since the revolution, frequent attempts have been made to sell this property, which was formerly claimed by the church of England; and which is now claimed by the protestant episcopal church, as the successors of the church of England. The overseers of the poor in the parish of Manchester and county of Chesterfield, were about to proceed to execute the law of the last session; and in order to stop their proceedings, the church-wardens and vestry of that parish, applied to the chancellor for an injunction to stay the sale. In their bill the complainants contended, that the property in the glebe was vested in the vestry and church-wardens for the benefit of the church of England: that all the rights of that church now belonging to the protestant episcopal church: that the legislature had, by many successive acts, recognized and secured the rights of the present church; and that the act of the legislature, attempting to divest those rights, was void. In opposition to this, it was contended—that the revolution had completely destroyed every thing like an established church in this country: that the bill of rights guaranteed the enjoyment of religious freedom and inhibited any preference of one sect to another: that the church of England being destroyed by the revolution, the property given to support it revested in the community: that the acts which had passed since the revolution, some of which vested the property of the church of England in the protestant episcopal church, and one of which incorporated that church, were contrary to the bill of rights and constitution, and therefore void: that it followed, that the act of the last session was valid, and that the court ought not to award the injunction.
The cause was argued by Mr. Randolph and Mr. Warden on behalf of the complainants; and Mr. Nicholas, attorney general, and Mr. Heath against them. The chancellor, after listening with great patience and attention to the arguments on both sides, proceeded to give a decision. This he did in a comprehensive and masterly manner. He examined into the rights of the church—the effect of the revolution on them. He enquired how far the principles of civil and religious freedom, as declared by our bill of rights and secured by our constitution, were inconsistent with the pretensions of the church; and their enjoyment of property which was originally given for the support of an English hierarchy. He refuted the arguments which attempted to shew any injustice in the act of the legislature; and demonstrated that by restoring the property to be disposed of by the majority of the parishioners, it effectuated the purposes of justice, without contravening the rights of property, or violating the approved maxims and rules of law.
What must have delighted all who heard Mr. Wythe's observations in this case, was, that there shone conspicuous, that knowledge of the true principles of our government; that ardent attachment to civil and religious freedom, which characterized the framers of our revolution; and which has always adorned the character of this venerable sage and patriot. The result of Mr. Wythe's argument was, a decision that the law of the last session was valid; and a refusal
of the glebe of the Manchester parish, which was confessedly vacant.
As to the parish of Louisa, and one of the parishes of Fauquier, as the bills stated that they had incumbents at the time the law passed, and at present, and as they did not come within the law, provided the allegations of the bills were true, he awarded the injunctions; leaving it to the overseers of the poor to controvert the fact of incumbency hereafter, if they thought fit.
The chancellor directed the bill, in the case in which the validity of the law was called in question, to be amended, that the attorney general, on the part of the commonwealth, might be made a party; so that by demurrer to the bill he might, if he chose, bring on the question in such a shape as would allow an appeal to the court of appeals, that this subject, which had so long agitated the country, should receive the solemn decision of our highest tribunal.
AN OBSERVER.
LONDON, August 13.
GENERAL JOURDAN'S PAMPHLET.
A pamphlet, by Camille Jourdan, and which was printed, but suppressed by order of the French government, has been the subject of much interest at Paris. Its title was, "True Sense of the National Vote on the Consulate for Life." Camille was in the country, but had intrusted the care of having the work printed to a relation of his called Duchesse. The prefect of the police having had notice of the affair, caused the edition to be seized, and Duchesse to be confined. Jourdan came instantly to Paris, declared himself the author, and wrote to Bonaparte himself, explaining his motives. Duchesse was set at liberty, and Bonaparte ordered Jourdan to be informed, that he was not hurt by the pamphlet; but that in the actual state of things, he thought the work not altogether proper for circulation. In fact, at the very moment that the national suffrages were about to be proclaimed, Jourdan's pamphlet was so written as to produce a quite contrary effect to that intended to take place at the festival of the 14th.
A few copies of the pamphlet have however been preserved, and the following are among the most remarkable passages which it contains:
"But now and in future, when peace is restored, when order is re-established, when you are so great and so powerful, when you can look with contempt upon a few factions and obscure individuals, lost in the immense crowd of good citizens by whom you are supported, is not the time come when the law may be thought sufficiently powerful to coerce us all? Is it not time that the law should resume its empire, that men detained in prison should obtain that trial which they demand; that no citizen should be liable to the danger of being carried off illegally and thrown into a dungeon; that we should all enter into the full possession of that civil liberty, the first of blessings promised to us by society, which inter-est us through every infant of our lives, and in every point of our existence."
"We call upon you for that liberty of the press, not as it has been desired by sophists; but as it has been wished for by wise men—that liberty which enlightens a government without weakening it, which ameliorates a legislation without violating its rights, and which amends individuals without calumniating them."
"We call upon you to rescue this noble part of public freedom from all base controul and obscure superintendence, from that arbitrary check and terrible indefinite power exercised by the policy, a power, in every respect dishonourable to a wise and vigorous administration."
"There is a last reform which is highly important. It is the just decision of the way in which a successor is to be appointed to the first Magistracy of the republic. The question is asked, whether it would be better to establish the elective system, or to give to Bonaparte the power of nominating a successor."
"For us, whole minds are dispassionate, we are attached above all to our liberty, and the tranquility of our country. May those blessings be assured to us, and it will be afterwards of very little importance whether he who rules us is denominated a consul, a doge, or a prince."
"It would have been very indiscreet in former times to have made any attempt against hereditary right, when it was consecrated by opinion, or to have tapped that ancient column on which society seemed entirely to repose."

J. CONNOR, Auctr. George Town, 6th Oct. 1802.

What was it that formerly rendered that hereditary title so venerable, so elevated above the attempts of those who wished to disturb it, so adapted to guarantee the peaceable transmission of a temporal authority? It was nothing less than a motive of utility, acknowledged by a small number of judges, that all those illusions should exist which support in the imagination of the multitude, the right of a prince independent of the people, a title of feudal possession, the sacred influence of a family, a religious consecration of power, an image of God in the king. These illusions are destroyed by the habits which the revolution has formed, by the spectacle of those royal sovereigns who I am bold to say are incapable of recovering from the fall.
From Bonaparte's exalted situation nothing is to be apprehended. He has raised himself above all jealousy, but among his successors there may be bad citizens, and the descent of a preferred family might present himself as a successful rival, deriving splendor from the advantages of birth, and virtues from misfortune. Such a competition would produce discord and trouble throughout the state.
We have felt ourselves right in voting Bonaparte consul for life: his past benefits are satisfactory pledges of his future conduct; but to perpetuate for our posterity, to give up to a new family the inheritance of a great people, would be to act in a manner contrary to the first and best principles of liberty. We ought then to throw our posterity into the delicate hands of a successor of Bonaparte, who supported by tyranny and usurpation, would be enabled to renew those scenes of oppression that have led the way to the actual state of things, and our children, thus degraded and enslaved, would resemble the people whom we have vanquished.
From the London Morning Chronicle of August 13.
The Moniteur received yesterday, says the London Morning Chronicle , containing articles against the Government and Country, more life, indecent, & hostile, than any published by that paper during the war. It accuses our Ministers of encouraging rebellion and murder in France; and still more it asserts, that our Sovereign would have rewarded an assassin with the Order of the Garter, had he been successful! This article appearing in the Moniteur , the official paper of the French Government, necessarily commands attention by the circumstance of the channel through which it is published. It must be regarded as the publication of Bonaparte, since the Moniteur would not dare to insert such an article without the permission of Government. But we have other evidence. It is written precisely in the peculiar, snappish style of interrogation, in which several menacing articles were written in the Moniteur , during the negotiation, which we have been assured were the work of Bonaparte himself. This article probably comes from the pen of the First Consul, who, foreseeing that the English Journals and all men of sense, would condemn his constitution, has wished to prevent discussion upon it by threats, which he hopes will intimidate the English Ministry, and induce them to stifle the observations of the news papers. This, we must inform Bonaparte, is not in the power of any Chief Consul or Prime Minister. When he can reduce Britain to be a department of France, and the respectable Mr. Addington to be his Prefect, then, indeed, he will have no longer occasion to complain of the English press. Till then we shall stand in awe of the laws of our country only, not of the Moniteur or the Chief Consul .
With regard to The Times , we recollect it has been seen nothing in that paper of late, on the subject of France, which did not seem to have been written in the spirit of truth and independence. Who pays it? asks the Moniteur . The associates of Talleyrand and others conclude that every one is corrupt. We have heard, that a French agent, of the name of Escoffier or Escoffier , was lately sent to London, to pay the newspaper. We presume he does not pay The Times , and we are inclined to believe he found all the English Journals as incorruptible, at least, as Bonaparte's Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The Courier de Londres says that the Chief Consul does not know who paid it? The late Editor of that Paper ( Moniteur ) lavished the most fulsome panegyrics on the French Government, and in return he has been taken into Confidential favour at Paris, though an Emigrant. The Courier de Londres is now conducted in a spirit of independence, and with great ability; it is sought with the utmost eagerness in France, though prohibited by the Government, and the Chief Consul is enraged.
The Longants and Billops; they are every thing that is base and vile! What is their offence? They will not submit to the little Corsican; they adhere with firmness to a cause which their consciences approved, rather than become the puppets of one who has seized the Throne by violence.
Of the truth of the charges respecting Georges and the island of Jersey we know nothing, but we do not believe they have any foundation. We are persuaded no Ministry ever endeavoured
more sincerely to maintain peace, than those who now govern this country. They are even accused of servility, in their eagerness to conciliate France. But Bonaparte measures their power by his own. He can put the seals on any press, imprison, transport, without trial, and he tells the English Ministry that he expects they will do the same.
The Treaty of Amiens, we are told, is broken by England, in encouraging three offences. Does the Chief Consul foresee this Treaty must be broken by the partition of Turkey that Britain is the only Power which will oppose such a partition, and hence the prudence of representing this country as the first to violate the Treaty of Amiens?—We ask, in his own language, "What is his object? What does he wish to effect?" He well knew, before he concluded peace, that a free press existed in England, and that no inuendo would suppress it. Does he wish to go to war on the principles on which the English Ministry began the last war; to resist the influx of free opinions respecting Political Liberty; to exclude from the eyes of his subjects the reproaches of his constitutions! Does he tremble lest these reproaches should shake his government, which he asserts is more solidly established than that of this country? Solidly established! Excellent! one day the Moniteur publishes the Constitution, and the next it boasts how solidly it is established! What has become of Lord Grenville's "result of experience and the evidence of facts?"
The Government does not deserve the name of Government, because it cannot repress calumny. Let Bonaparte go before an English Jury in Westminster-hall and prove the calumny, then will he obtain redress. Is this beneath him? The King of Britain has sought and obtained redress in the same place for personal calumny—and, we trust, no Corsican Consul, Egyptian, Catholic, Turk, or Mahometan, will ever be placed above him!
PARIS, July 30.
According to a letter from Brescia, the Vaccine Inoculation makes astonishing progress in the Italian Republic. It has the effect of stopping the ravages of a most malignant species of small-pox. In the last three months more than 12,000 have been inoculated in the department of Mella alone.

NEWBURYPORT, Sept. 28.
Last night arrived brig Active, Noyes, from Magadore. They were forced away from that place.
We have been favoured with Capt. N.'s protest, which states, that "he failed from Magadore the 9th of July in company with several other American vessels, in consequence of the letter from consul Simpson, [below] and that the Americans held a consultation how to act with most prudence, and it was thought advisable to get away immediately, tho' as so much property was then on shore, application was made to the gov. of Magadore for permission to get their property on board, who refused giving any answer, waiting four days after Mr. Simpson's advice, when the alarm began to increase, and at 11 A. M. there was a private courier arrived, and directing the result, went on board and got under way, leaving this property. The vessel being so light as to oblige them to put into Madeira, for ballast, supplies, &c. in company with the fchr. Camden, capt. Cannon, of Baltimore."
Copy of a letter from James Simpson, American consul at Tangiers to all Americans at the port of Magadore. TANGIERS, June 22.
Gentlemen, Under yesterday's date I wrote to capt. Brown, advising it appeared necessary you should all bring your concerns at Magadore within the narrowest com-
pass possible.—This evening I have been in consequence of orders from his imperial majesty to quit this country, for which reason I very strongly recommend to you all, to get away from the port you are at, with your vessels, immediately on receipt of this letter.—By treaty, sufficient time is allowed to the citizens of the United States to remove with their property; but whether the emperor will adhere to that on the present occasion, appears doubtful: I shall, however, certainly claim it. I embark for Gibraltar, where if any of you have occasion to write to me, Messrs. Court and Co. will of course find conveyance for your letters by way of this place.
I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, (Signed) JAMES SIMPSON.
From the Albany Gazette—Sept. 22. Within a few weeks past a stage has started from Coopers-town; another from Cherry-Valley, and a third from Catskill, all to this city; and in October next the Western line of stages will be extended to Canandaigua, in Ontario county—to which the Turnpike Road will be either partially or entirely completed the present year. Thus a line of stages extends in every point of compass from this city.
We also announce with singular pleasure, that Commissioners (agreeable to a law of the last session) are now exploring the most direct route on the west side, and along the whole extent of Indian's river, from this city to the south bounds of the state. The distance from Albany to Catskill, on the present route, is 36 miles; we are told that from actual survey, the new road will be only 28, and from the most part along a dry gravelly ridge, capable of making an excellent road. Thus nearly one fourth of the distance will be cut off in the first 36 miles. In a word, it is supposed, the whole extent to New-York will be abridged from 20 to 30 miles. And as the great object is already obtained, viz. a Turnpike Road thro' the Highlands, which will form part of this route, and as the country below the Highlands on the west is by far more favorable for a good road than on the east side of the Hudson, this will undoubtedly be the future stage road between New-York and Albany.
From Albany Register.
SEDITION—IN CONNECTICUT.
The Litchfield account of the trial of Mr. Wetmore, before the supreme court of Connecticut, on an indictment for Seditious, is too important not to attract the universal attention of republicans. Even federalists, if they are any of that description who think the freedom of opinion sacred, have reason to be alarmed when they see a principle carried into operation by the supreme judiciary of a state, which goes to the utter destruction of the liberty of speech; which tends to debase the minds of freemen, and by degrees to render them fit subjects for the most odious despotism. It is true, that this trial does not exhibit federalism in a new point of view. But it proves incontrovertibly, and every Republican ought to note it well, that the spirit of the federal party is at this day as hostile to the freedom of opinion—that is, to the free exercise of any opinions contrary to the creed of tyranny and bigotry which they wish to establish, as it was when they had the general government in their hands, and riotteed in the abuse of their constitutional powers.
Suppose the principle asserted by Mr. Wetmore to be erroneous; suppose, that in practice it would be dangerous to a state; (though we cannot, for our part, see where the danger lies;) still it is a principle on which good men may fairly differ, which one man has, by the law of nature, if any such law exists, as perfect a right to maintain and defend as another has to oppose, and the use of coercion on either side must be considered by rational men as cruel and unjust: Nor does the circumstance of the contrary principle having become the positive law of Connecticut, impair the natural right of the citizen to dispute the policy of the law. It must be remembered too, that the principle, for the assertion of which so severe a punishment has been inflicted on Mr. Wetmore, has been advocated by the best and wisest of men both in Europe and America. Equal Representation was what we contended for with Great Britain; and the patriots of England who in those days stood forward to advocate our cause in a corrupt Parliament, have since united to obtain universal suffrage for their own countrymen. Taught by such examples and the precepts of a republican education, may not an American of the present day, without any criminal intention, labour to extend the right of suffrage where he thinks it too much restricted for the general good? And has he not a right to do so, derived from the Almighty who created man free, and endowed him with the means of accomplishing his own happiness? We believe, there is not an honest, intelligent American to be found, who will not reply in the affirmative; and who will not think, and justify too, that in the case before us the most sacred right of an American citizen has been sacrificed at the shrine of judicial tyranny, and to gratify the vindictive spirit of a tyrannical faction.
CHARLESTON, September 12. CUSTOM HOUSE. Charleston, Sept. 11, 1802.
SIR, I received your letter, requiring my opinion on Mr. Perkins's improvement on the common pump. I am sorry that a violent influenza has prevented my attending earlier, the comparative effects between Mr. Perkins's improved double and single stroke pumps, and those in common use among us.
The result of my experiment is, however, as favorable to Mr. Perkins's ingenuity, as I am satisfied that his improvement is meritorious, and will be highly beneficial to his country. The patent pump will, I have no doubt, be soon generally used by our merchant vessels. I lament that the means are not within my power, to ascertain by actual experiment, its comparative effects, with the improved chain pump, as used in the navy of Great-Britain. This will, no doubt, however be properly attended to by the officers of our navy.
When making a trial of Mr. Perkins's double stroke pump, I found it filled a sixty gallon cask, (being worked by two persons,) in 19 seconds. The single stroke pump, worked by the same persons, filled the same cask in 27 seconds.
I then tried six of our common pumps one was new, and in good order, and with the same persons, filled the same cask in 54 seconds.
 The 2d pump filled the same cask in 65 secs 31 do. do. 73 do.  4th do. do. do. 75 do.  5th do. do. do. 100 do.  6th do. do. do. 112 do. 
None of the common pumps were in as good order as the new common pump, which, with the same power, required double the time to fill the cask that the single stroke pump did; and nearly three times as much time as the double stroke pump.
A saving of labour therefore among a few seamen, struggling with the common pump, to save their lives, in a leaky vessel, at sea, is, with the single stroke pump, as two to one; and with the double stroke pump, as three to one in their favour! It is therefore with real satisfaction, that I recommend to our merchants, and masters of vessels, Perkins's improved competition "Patent Chambers."
The difference between Perkins's improved, and our common pump, I find, consists in an equal diameter of the cylinder of the improved pump throughout, except the bottom of the pump, which is conical. The diameter of the cylinder in our common pump, and in which the lower box is fixed, and in which the piston or upper box moves, is double that of the lower cylinder; the lower box rests on the shoulder thus made, by the difference of the cylinders, and is fixed a little lower than the length of the piston, which is about five feet—whereas Perkins's patent chambers may be fixed in any part of the pump within 23 feet from the surface of the water; and within the bottom of this chamber is fixed the lower valve of the pump, in a very fine for manner to the common pump, and which will render it less liable to injury. The upper box, or piston, of the improved, is the same as the common pump, but the valve in the lower box of the improved pump, is made lower than the valve in the lower box of the common pump.
These improvements on the common pumps, are of particular importance to the underwriters; and I sincerely hope, that Mr. Perkins may receive a pecuniary compensation, proportioned to the benefit which mankind will derive from his efforts.
I am, Sir, Very respectfully, Your most obedient servant, JAMES SIMON, Collector of the customs. Dr. PARK.

FRIDAY, October 8, 1802.
Address to Subscribers.
On the 31st of this month two years will have elapsed since the first appearance of the National Intelligencer.
The transfer of power from one set of men, governed by certain political principles, to another set of men guided by different principles, has kindled a resentment that prescribes to itself no limits;
Under these circumstances it becomes the Editor of the National Intelligencer openly and distinctly to align the rules of his conduct;
Believing the freedom of speech and of the press to be one of the great bulwarks of our liberties, it has been and shall be vigorously sustained.
Believing that our happiness essentially depends upon a republican government, and that such government is alike susceptible of abuse and improvement,
Believing that the measures of the late administration tended to draw into disrepute the republican system by incorporating numerous and dangerous abuses,
These measures are well known to the readers of the National Intelligencer, with the arguments urged as well in their opposition as support.
From this exposition, it will be seen that the Editor does not claim an exemption from decided political convictions.
those in opposition would mar them, can he be indifferent? No fellow citizens, while we are moderate let us be vigilant;
So long as the National Intelligencer is conducted on these principles, it may, without presumption, claim the support of the enlightened patriot.

NOTICE.
THE creditors of Ulrich Forst, bankrupt, having appointed the undersigned his estate and effects.
Mr. Forst is authorized to make settlements of accounts and to attend to all business relating to his estate. JOHN DEWITT, Assignee. Aug. 29, 1802.

TO THE PUBLIC.
The Proprietors of the Charter for opening the Navigation of the Catawba and Wateree Rivers, having at length been, with much satisfaction, the completion of the Santee Canal, propose to recommence their operations for opening the Catawba and Wateree Rivers during the present year, as soon as the state of the said Rivers will permit.
In the mean while they have determined to double the number of their shares for the purpose of admitting such persons as may choose to become subscribers. The expenses which have been already incurred by the Company amount to one hundred dollars on each share of the present number, which, when doubled according to the present determination, will reduce it to fifty dollars a share.
The Charter of South-Carolina is in perpetuity, and these shares are forever exempted from any rate, tax, duty, assessment or imposition whatever. The Act of North-Carolina, authorises the Company to fix and establish a toll on all goods and merchandise, for 99 years, and exempt their shares from any rate, tax, duty, assessment or imposition whatever, for the same period of time.
The present proprietors think it a duty incumbent on them, to inform the public, that a very considerable sum is expected to be raised from the sale of vacant lands, (which extend two miles on each side of the Catawba river, the whole length thereof from the North Carolina line down to Camden Ferry, a distance of not less than 120 miles, and in which is supposed to be reserved to the company, not less than 18,000 or 60,000 acres) and left they should be deferred from engaging in the present navigation, by a reference to the enormous expense of the Santee Canal, the stockholders think it but just that they should declare their opinion of the improbability of the subscribers being called upon for more than 15 dollars on each share per annum, as it would be impossible for the works to be carried on longer than for about four months in the year, since the labourers will be chiefly employed in the water.
It is further to be remarked, that the Catawba river is looked upon as the most proper site for the establishment of a magazine, foundry and arsenal, for the three Southern States, viz. North and South Carolina and Georgia; that surveys have been made, and a statement thereof forwarded on this subject some years ago, to the Secretary at War; that the State of South Carolina passed an act, authorising a purchase by the United States, of a certain quantity of land within this State; and the Catawba company have offered to release to the United States, any of their lands on said river, for such purpose, on a fair valuation. The hour now seems to approach for such an establishment; not only because it is a time of almost profound peace throughout the world, but that the idea is revived by the President of the United States, in his message of the 2d of February, 1802, to Congress, wherein he says, "besides the permanent magazines established at Springfield, West Point, and Harper's Ferry, it is thought one should be established at some point convenient for the States of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, such a point will be found near the borders of the Carolinas; and some small provision by the legislature, preparatory to the establishment, will be necessary for the present year." And nature indeed has pointed out this river as the most proper place for such a magazine, from the vast quantities of ore which have been discovered on the Catawba and its two branches, and there can be no doubt but that such an abundance of metal must attract the attention of the engineer, who may be authorised to examine and determine on a proper site for this establishment, particularly as there are already several furnaces and forges on the abovenamed rivers, at some of which six pound guns have been cast and bored, equal to any ever imported or made to the northward.
The company intend for the present season, to confine their operations to the removal of the obstructions from Rocky Mount to Camden Ferry, to the opening of a road for a carrying place, and the transportation of goods, from above the Falls at Rocky Mount, down to the Old Ferry landing; to the erection of a bridge across the Rocky Creek, and to the building a boat, and establishing the Ferry, which is allowed them by law.
At a meeting of the Catawba Company, the 4th of March, 1802, two-thirds of them being present,
On motion, resolved, That the six hundred shares in the Company of the Catawba and Wateree Rivers, be subdivided into twelve hundred.
That the present proprietors be entitled to hold double the number of their present shares; and that they have besides a preference to extend the number of their shares to one for every ten to which they shall be entitled after such subdivision.
To every new subscriber who shall pay 50 dollars, shall be entitled not only to the advantages to be derived from the opening of said river; but also to a proportionate interest in the lands vested in the Company by the legislature of this state.
Resolved, That 100 shares be reserved to be offered to the state of South Carolina, and that an equal number of shares be reserved to be tendered to the state of North Carolina.
At an anniversary meeting of the Catawba Company, on Tuesday the 10th instant, the following resolves were entered into:—
"That an advertisement be published, inviting persons to contract for the opening of Graves's Ford and Love's Ford to deep and wide as to admit boats drawing 2 feet 9 inches water, and 12 feet wide; also, for opening a road and carrying place, from above Rocky Mount, to the Ferry landing below, and for constructing a bridge across Rocky Creek; also, for building a Ferry Boat to ply across the river, at or near the present landing at Rocky Mount, also for surveying the vacant lands, which have been already granted them by the legislature. Such undertakers to give approved security for the faithful fulfilment of their respective contracts, and to direct their applications to the President, Judge Grinke, during the sitting of the constitutional court at Columbia, from the 19th to the 24th of April next, or to Charles Tew, the Secretary, in Charleston, on or before the 15th day of May next ensuing."
"That the President do establish a correspondence with some mercantile house in Cambridge, and endeavour to obtain permission to lodge with them the monies of the Company, and that they would disburse the same, according to the directions of the Company."
"That one hundred shares be offered to the citizens of North Carolina, and that they have to the first day of January next ensuing, to subscribe for such shares; and that General Davie be authorised to appoint some person or persons in that State to receive such subscriptions, on the part of the Company, payable as in the following resolution:
"That col. Sent. col. Hill, and John Simpion, esq. clerk of Lancaster court, be authorised to receive subscriptions from such persons as are inclined to become proprietors, and who reside within the limits of this State, and that they take notes, payable to the President and Directors of the Company for opening the navigation of the Catawba and Wateree Rivers on the first day of March 1803, and they be authorised to deliver receipts for the same in the nature of scrip, in such form as the President and Directors shall appoint."
"That these resolutions, with the late publication in the papers of this city, as far as the President and Directors shall deem necessary and proper, be inserted in Cox and Shepard's Gazette of this city, and in the one which is printed in Raleigh, North Carolina, by Joseph Gales, once a month until the 1st of October next."
"That the solicitor of the company be instructed to adopt the most immediate measures for the recovery of such balances as appear to be due by such proprietors as have paid none of the requisitions for the last 18 months past, and that the secretary do furnish him with a list of the names of such defaulters."
"That the following mode be adopted as the uniform rule of transferring the shares of the company: "I, A. B. do transfer my right to share No. forty, (the number must be in letters and not numerals) in the company for opening the navigation of the Catawba and Wateree rivers, unto C. D. for value received. Signed A. B. Witnessed by E. F. G. H. Proved on oath, before me, L. M.—J. P."
"That the sum of one shilling and two pence be paid on each share, on the requisition which shall become due, on the third Tuesday of September next ensuing, and the same sum on the third Tuesday of March thereafter."
"South Carolina, 1802. Received of _____ a note payable to the President and Directors of the Company, for opening the navigation of the Catawba and Wateree rivers, for fifty dollars, which, when paid, will entitle him to be a stockholder in the said company."

Valuable property for Sale.
Will be Sold at Mr. Dougherty's Tavern, in the town of Bladensburg, on Saturday the ninth day of October, to the highest bidder, the following property, viz.
1st. THAT well improved lot of ground lately occupied by Mr. Horatio Ross—the improvements are a large convenient and well finished brick house, two stories high, having on the first floor, four handsome rooms, with fire places in each, and on the second a large and complete nursery, two bed rooms with a fire place in each, and two well finished store rooms. This lot with the garden contains about three acres of ground, and has on it also all the necessary out-houses—a new and complete chicken-pen, including the front, and a new oak and chestnut post and rail fence the garden. It is supposed that this lot will be sold if required about two acres of grassy meadow, from whence a stream of water from a never failing spring may be conducted every any part of the garden or lot, so as to supply an extensive fish pond or dairy, either of which may be constructed at a small expense; the ground being elegantly situated.
2d. That well improved lot late the property of Maj. David Ross—the improvements are a large and well finished stone house, rough casted, three handsome rooms, and a complete store room, with a fire place in each, and an entry on the first floor, three bed rooms with a fire place in each—two other small bed rooms and a complete store room and entry on the second floor—the out houses are an excellent stable and carriage house, and corn-house—an excellent stone meat house, an extensive wash house with lodging rooms for the servants, and a complete store house and dairy, with a never failing spring of water, an excellent garden abounding with a variety of fruit and shrubbery—a neat yard in front and about three acres of meadow ground behind are annexed to this lot, as to about half an acre of high ground, from whence the meadow may be watered the whole year round. In short both of these lots are well improved, and for their many local advantages might at a small expense be rendered as elegant as any property in the State—There will also be sold several unimproved lots in the most central parts of the town, so divided as to accommodate purchasers.
When it is considered this property is within five miles of the capitol of the United States, that the spring water at Bladensburg which have been for some time highly esteemed, will shortly render it perhaps the most considerable watering place on the continent, every person must at once be impressed with the probable appreciation of property situated as this is.
