Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, February 25.
Debate on the bill received from the Senate entitled "An Act to repeal certain acts respecting the organization of the courts of the U. States."
(Mr. Rutledge's Speech concluded.)
I did not expect, Mr. Chairman, to hear this observation from one of the friends of the executive. Since the fourth of March last I thought philosophy had thrown her mantle over all that had passed; that sins were to be forgotten and forgiven, and to prove the sincerity of this forgiving spirit sinners were to be distinguished by executive favors—one would have thought so in reviewing executive conduct; where persons had been imprisoned and fined under our laws, they, we know, were released; where fines had actually been paid, the officers of government had been ordered to return them, and not only Tories had been appointed to office, but old Tories, rank old Tories who had been banished. The present collector of Philadelphia for the internal revenue has been appointed since the 4th March last, and although he never, like the gentleman alluded to, shivered lances in the service of his king, yet he was actively employed in the more safe service of giving information to the British generals, and marching before Sir William Howe, and decorated with laurels he conducted him into the metropolis of his native state. Sir, there are many instances of this kind. Have gentlemen forgotten the young Englishman who was so busily employed here last winter during the Presidential election, that in seeing him one would really have supposed him not only a member of this House, but like him of Tenessee holding an entire vote at his command; this youngster was sent out here by some merchants in England to collect debts due to them in this country, and his father whose tory principles carried him from America early in the revolution is now subsisting on a royal pension; this young man has been appointed our consul at London, and the former consul, a native and staunch American, whose conduct had been approved by our merchants generally, has been turned out to create a vacancy. The gentleman from Virginia has repeated the observation of his colleague, that the people are capable of taking care of their own rights, and do not want a corps of judges to protect them. Human nature is the same every where, and man is precisely the same sort of being in the new world that he is in the old. The citizens of other republics were as wise and valiant and far more powerful than we are. The gentleman from Virginia knows full well, that wherever the Roman standard was unfurled, its motto 'Senatus Populusque Romanus' proclaimed to a conquering world, that they were governed by the senate and the people of Rome. But now, sir, the Roman Lazaroni, who crouching at the gates of prince's palaces, begs the offs of his kitchen, would never know that his ancestors had been free—not that the people had counted for any thing in Rome, or that Rome had ever her Senate, did he not read it on the broken friezes and broken columns of the ruined temples, whose fragments now lie scattered over the Roman forum. Sir the mournful histories of the republics of Rome & Greece, are not the only beacons which warn us of the dangers of instability and innovation. All Europe was once free. But where now is the diet of Sweden? Where are the states of Holland and Portugal, and the republics of Switzerland and Italy? The people of those countries were once free and happy, but their governments for the want of some protecting check some inherent principle to defend themselves, have all been subverted—they have all travelled the same road—it is as plain as a turnpike—it is pointed out by the ruins of other republics—every where the same causes have produced the same effects. The government gets into the hands of theorists, & they make inroads on the constitution perhaps with honest views—but these innovations are precedent to sanction subsequent innovations of men with bad views, and despotism succeeds to anarchy. This is what we learn from every page of history. Let us profit by these monitions—let us take experience as our guide. We all have one common interest in this constitution, let us then leave it untouched—if you touch,
others will ruin it—what has happened elsewhere will happen here—these gentlemen are not masons in politics and government—they cannot build up again—they are mere sappers and miners and if they pull down the mild government, those who come after them will build up a despotic one. If you will not reject this measure, postpone it for a year—the people want no change of our constitution, give them but time, and my life on it they will say so—the President will respect public opinion, give time for its expression and the President will subordinate his desire to destroy, to theirs to preserve. Is there no ground upon which gentlemen will meet us and compromise? If the remnant of the army is disliked, we will abolish it; if a further reduction of our little navy is desired, we will reduce it; we will join in abolishing the internal revenues; indeed, indeed, sir, there is no sacrifice we will not make to prevent the sacrifice of this constitution. —Gentlemen say, the constitution will live; sir, it may last our time, but it will drag out a miserable existence after receiving this wound; it will be mortal; inflict it and you doom it to ruin; like the best and most lovely part of Gods creation, violate and you destroy it; as has been observed in the House above by a countryman and honorable friend of mine, that it will be with this constitution as with a confined fluid; if a drop of it escapes, the leak through which it steals, will soon become a breach by which the whole will pass away. This bill is an egg which will produce a brood of mortal consequences. Although the blow aimed at the constitution will not immediately destroy, the injurious effects will be immediately felt; it will soon prostrate public confidence; it will immediately depreciate the value of public property, who will buy your lands? Who will open your Western forests? Who will build upon the hills and cultivate the valleys which here surround us? He must be a speculator indeed, and his purse must overflow, who would buy your western lands and city lots, if there be no independent tribunals where the validity of your titles will be confirmed. Have gentlemen forgot the sales of public lands made in France; the national domain was sold for assignates; after they had been well sold and one instalment paid, the terms of payment were changed and the purchasers were obliged to pay in specie or relinquish the lands. Sir, look at home and we see examples to prove the necessity of an independent judiciary. Have we not seen a state sell its Western lands, and afterwards declare the law under which they were made null and void. Their nullifying law would have been declared void, had they had an independent judiciary. Whenever in any country judges are dependent, property is insecure. An honorable gentleman from Kentucky says, he does not want to seek examples across the Atlantic. Sir, is this wise; are we to shut our eyes to the light of history and turn away from the voice of experience. Sir, the untutored Indian marks on his tomahawk great events as they pass, and augurs what will happen from knowing what has happened, and shall we travel on without noticing the finger boards erected by historians for our security? The gentleman censures our having noticed France, and read a passage from a speech of the illustrious Washington, where he called the French a great and wise people —What has been the fate of this gallant people? Where is their constitution? We have seen La Fayette in the camp de Mars at the head of 50,000 warriors who with one hand grasping their swords and the other laid on the altar, wore in the presence of Almighty God, they never would desert their constitution. Through all the departments of France similar pledges were given. Frenchmen received their constitution as the followers of Mahomet did their Alcoran, and thought it came to them from heaven. They swore on their standards and their sabres never to abandon it. But, sir, this constitution has vanished; the swords which were to have formed a rampart around it, are now worn by the consular janissaries, and the republican standards are among the trophies which decorate the vaulted roof of the consular palace. Respecting the expediency there was for passing the law which gentlemen now seek to repeal, I shall say nothing as my hon. friend from Delaware has entered into a most ample detail of it. Indeed, sir, he travelled through so extensive a field of enquiry respecting the unconstitutionality of the repeal as well as of the expediency
of having passed the law, that he has greatly narrowed the ground for all who follow him; his range was commensurate with the extent of his mighty mind and with the magnitude of the subject; a subject, sir, let me tell gentlemen that is perhaps as awful a one as any on this side of the grave. This attack upon our constitution will form a great epoch in the history of our government. In the important changes we read of in the systems of other governments we find some public benefit to have been intended; something plausible at least was offered in justification. But here, "when we are in the full tide of experimental success," a revolution commences without any necessity or pretence. It is not to be presumed the executive has been incited to this by the paltry consideration of saving 30,000 dollars. He has proved by his expenditures since the fourth of March that our nation is not in great want of money. The fact is, sir, that so good was the management by the past administration of our fiscal concerns that our treasury overflows with money; to this cause may be ascribed some of the great expenditures made during the recess and which to me appear to have been perfectly useless; but perhaps they were not so. Although the senate last session appointed a minister to France; immediately upon its rising the executive appointed another honorable gentleman (who now sits near me) envoy to carry over the treaty; although the French had called in their cruisers, and for us it was a time of profound peace, this gentleman was sent over in a man of war at an enormous expence. If gentlemen will look at the printed report of the secretary of the navy for the last year of money necessary to be appropriated, they will read in page 52, that the expences of the ship Maryland are estimated for a year at 57,269 dollars 77 cents. The Maryland was seven months in carrying our envoy, waiting his orders and returning to America; and for seven months the expence of this ship would be thirty-three thousand four hundred and seven dollars. Perhaps all this was wise and necessary on the part of the executive. I barely state the fact. Another which I will notice is, that without waiting for the final ratification of the treaty, or for Congress to make appropriations for its fulfilment, the executive had the ship Bercéau repaired to be delivered up to the French government at the enormous cost of 30,000 dollars. Besides this, the officers were paid when at Boston, six dollars per day. How does all this agree with affaiting the most precious part of our constitution to save a little money. But if I am under any delusion and we are not rich; if we want to save and must save money; let us turn to something else; let us begin with ourselves. The speaker of this house receives twelve dollars a day; give him six—we receive six; let us be content with three; on our side we cheerfully agree to this reduction. If gentlemen will look at the catalogue of expences under the head of "Legislature" they will find a number of items which if summed up will amount to 193,470 dollars; let us retrench as I have proposed, and save to the nation one half of this sum; we will in doing so save nearly 100,000 dollars a year. Sir, gentlemen may depend upon it the people of this country are too intelligent to ascribe this measure to the mere desire of saving a little money; they will view it as the vengeance of an irritated majority.—I conjure gentlemen to celebrate their victory by more harmless sports.—Let them triumph over us, but not by immolating the constitution; let them beware that in erecting a triumphal arch for the celebration of their success, they do not dig a grave and decree funeral rites for our constitution. I repeat again that this is not a way to save money. If saving really be the object, let our opponents procure it by more gentle means. To attempt saving a little money by injuring the constitution, would be like taking from the foundation to patch the roof. Like digging up for use the roots of a tree, instead of lopping off the boughs. To the confidence inspired by the independence of our judges are we indebted for much national prosperity. Pass this law and the tribunals in America will be like those of France as described by the most brilliant scholar and sagacious statesman of the age. On the subject of the French judges, Mr. Burke has said, "In them it will be in vain to look for any appearance of justice towards strangers; towards the obnoxious rich; towards the minority of routed parties towards
all those who in the election have supported unsuccessful candidates. The new tribunals will be governed by the spirit of faction." I feel myself much honored, Mr. Chairman, by the great attention the committee have given to my observations. They have, I fear, exhausted all your stock of patience. I find they have exhausted all my strength; but the magnitude of the subject will, I trust, be an apology for their length. Permit me here to express my sorrow at hearing the declaration of an honorable gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Gregg) who yesterday, after joining in the call for the question, rose, and said it was useless to continue the debate, as the minds of the majority were fully made up. It seems then gentlemen are not open to conviction, and that they have determined to violate the sanctuary. Myself and my friends will not however, be deterred by this menace. We have always been the sincere friends of this constitution, and we will attempt its defence as long as we have the means of making it. We will struggle to the last; if we cannot command success we will endeavour to deserve it. If the friends of the constitution are subdued by numbers, the ministerial phalanx, in bursting into the temple will, I hope, find them all at their post; they will be in the portico, the vestibule, and around the altars, grasping, grappling the constitution of their country with the holds of death, and with nullum us matari on their lips.
NORFOLK, May 4.
Very late from Europe.
This morning arrived the ship Washington, captain Nye, 33 days from London, by whom we are favoured with Papers to the 25th March, at which time the RATIFICATION of the TREATY was not known in London, but it was the general opinion that it would take place in a few days.
LONDON, March 18.
The rough draft of the definitive treaty was brought to town from Amiens, on Friday night last, by Mr. Shaw, the Messenger. The Cabinet Council which sat on Saturday, gave it a thorough revision, and it was sent to Windsor on Sunday for his Majesty's approval. On the return of the Messenger it was sent off for Amiens early on Monday.
The necessary forms even if such corrections as have been proposed by our Cabinet should not render the dispatch of a courier from Amiens to Paris at all necessary, will require some days at least. The delay will not, however, be long, if no objections be made to the corrections on the draft as Marquis Cornwallis, or their being admitted, had orders to sign the treaty, on the part of this country without farther delay.
March 19.
We yesterday received Paris Journal to the 15th inclusive. They contain very important intelligence. The Official Journal of the 14th contains an article which is very curious. The Moniteur says, that for fifteen days previous, that is from the end of February, all the articles of the treaty, had been agreed upon at Amiens and that even the terms of the treaty (la rédaction) had been fixed, and that the only thing waited for was the arrival of a courier from London.
March 21.
Yesterdayday Dressings, the Messenger, arrived at Lord Hawkesbury's Office with dispatches from Lord Cornwallis; he left Amiens on Thursday. A report prevailed at the Stock Exchange, that the French Minister at the Congress, disclaiming all wishes to procrastinate the negotiation, had ascribed the delays which have hitherto occurred, in a principal degree to the Agent of his Catholic Majesty; and it is added that he has in the name of the Chief Consul declared, that unless Spain conforms to the basis laid down in the preliminary articles, he will leave her to negotiate for herself, and conclude a peace without reference or consideration to her interests. The Stocks yesterday were rather higher than on the day preceding. Consols opened at 69 1/2, and closed at a quarter.
March 23.
Mr. Hunter, jun. and Mr. Dressings, the messenger, were on Monday night despatched to Amiens and Paris with the result of the cabinet council, which sat on Monday on the negotiation. The persons engaged in the negotiation are now far more actively engaged in it than ever.

Mr. Merry has been slightly indisposed by excessive fatigue. Mr. Hunter, jun. whose arrival from Amiens we mentioned yesterday, came from that place to London in 22 hours, and the journey of upwards of 200 miles, and the quickest certainly that ever was performed. His sea passage from Boulogne to Dover, was four hours and a half distance of about twenty leagues. The dispatches which Mr. Hunter brought were of the utmost importance. A Cabinet Council sat yesterday upon them for four hours, and in the evening messengers were dispatched to Amiens and Paris.
March 25. By the proceedings of the house of commons last night, it appears the minister is making such financial arrangements as may enable him to postpone the loan till after the definitive treaty is signed. From these measures we may infer, the treaty is not yet at hand; but that the most confident expectations are entertained of its arrival in a short time.
Yesterday morning a messenger arrived at Lord Hawkesbury's office with dispatches from Amiens. He was landed at Deal on Monday night at 11 o'clock from a packet which had left Calais that morning. In our ship news it is reported that Calais was illuminated the preceding evening.
Extract of a letter from Deal, March 23. Last night, about 11 o'clock, a packet arrived in the Downs from Calais, and landed a person with dispatches for government, who immediately set off with them for London. It is supposed they contain agreeable intelligence, as the messenger reports there were great rejoicings at Calais when the vessel sailed from thence and that the evening before the town was illuminated. Letters from Brussels, dated March 14, announce, that every thing which relates to the execution of that article of the Preliminaries of Peace signed at London, which stipulates the free navigation and opening of the Cape of Good Hope, is arranged to the reciprocal satisfaction of the contracting parties, and particularly the Dutch government. The English plenipotentiary had urged the extension of this measure to the settlements of Surinam and Demerara, but his proposals were unavailing.
Letters from the North mention, that the Emperor of Russia interests himself warmly with the French government respecting the settlement of the affairs of the Duke of Wirtemberg.

NEW-YORK, May 6. Capt. Vincent, from St. Croix, informs us, that three or four days before he sailed the former judge Appleby, Mr. Armstrong, and several others, were seized by the government, and confined in the fort, on a charge of crimes against the state; and that they were about to embark for Denmark in a Danish vessel to answer to the accusation.
Arrived ship Charlotte Murdock, Reed, Madeira; brig Phebe, Benson, St. Croix; Trial, Griffith, Savannah; schrs. Virginia, Edwards, Baltimore; Hiram, Roxby, Windsor, N. C. —, Carter, N. Carolina; sloop Dolphin, —, An-guilla. Cleared brig Sally, —, Dublin; Brutus, Taber, Cadiz; Matilda, —, Batavia.

Republican, out 8 days. 25th, spoke brig Betty, bound from Baltimore to Guadalupe.
May 7. Latest from Europe. The ship Betty, arrived yesterday, had a passage of 40 days from Liverpool. The Editors of the New-York Gazette, have received London papers by her to the 24th of March. We should be happy to be the harbinger of good news, or of saying something that would alleviate the present anxiety of the public mind; but it appears, that the affairs of Europe continue to be in an unsettled state. The definitive treaty between France and England was not signed; but there was a probability it would be in a very short time. England is said to have demanded the full sovereignty of Malta; which it is expected would be granted by the First Consul. Preparations for defence, notwithstanding, continue in England; and an additional number of troops have been ordered to the West-Indies.
The Medusa frigate, which was to take out Lord Nelson, had been riding a single anchor for five days, waiting for his arrival to sail immediately. Switzerland appears to be in a tumultuous state—600 French troops had arrived at Besançon, which has given rise to many conjectures. The Emperors of Germany and Russia, have declared, that they have seen with interest, the definitive organization of the Italian republic; and declare their resolution, notwithstanding, to send ambassadors to that republic. The ill success of the French in St. Domingo, had been officially announced in the Paris papers. The American Treaty Bill was passed in the House of Commons. American flour at Liverpool was at 40s sterling per bbl.
PHILADELPHIA, May 6. Our Charleston papers by the Dispatch, are to the 30th ult. They contain nothing new. The day before she sailed from Charleston a ship (believed to be called the Washington) arrived there in 34 days either from London or Liverpool. The news by this vessel had not transpired on the morning of the 30th.

Alexandria Advertiser. MONDAY, MAY 10.
A letter from our correspondent at Plymouth dated yesterday, mentions an arrival from Bordeaux, 42 days, the captain of which informs "that the French had stripped all English vessels at Bordeaux of their sails just before he left that place." (Centinel.)
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Madeira, dated 3d March, 1802. "There has been no rain here all winter, nor have there been more than four days rain for a twelve month past. The grass about the country is all parched up, and our cattle begin to die with hunger. there has been prayer for rain in all the churches; but the fains have not yet condescended to grant the request of their devotees—however, to be serious, if we have not some very shortly, we shall really be in a suffering condition."
By a report lately made by the Secretary of the Treasury it appears, that produce and manufactures exported from the Mississippi District, and entered at the Natchez, in 1801, amounted in value, to 1,095,412 dollars.—These articles were transported in one brig, one sch'r, 514 flats, 50 keel-boats, and 19 perogues.—Amongst those articles were 73,058 barrels flour, 5,923 bales of cotton, 147,400 wt. cordage, and 67,900 wt. of pig lead. Query.—Whither will all the prospects of the increasing wealth and resources of the country bordering on the Mississippi vanish when the French are well rooted in Louisiana? Answer—"into air—thin air." Centinel.
REVIVAL OF FEDERALISM. Letters from the Northward inform us of the following interesting particulars respecting the election in the following coun-
ties, viz.—Albany, the whole Federal ticket succeeds, Rensselaer, the like, Mr. Tibbets is the Federal member of Congress. Columbia, the like, Mr. Henry Livingston the Federal member of Congress, in place of Mr. Van Ness, the present anti-federal member; it is mentioned that on the anti-federal list for members of assembly for this county, the name of the notorious Ambrose Spencer appeared; the whole ticket failed, and Spencer had less votes than any man on the ticket. In Dutchess, the votes had not all been canvassed, the calculation is, that half the ticket will be Federal. Ulster is all Federal, and Mr. Conrad E. Elmendorf, who had been removed from the office of attorney of the district, is chosen against Lucas Elmendorf, his successor in office, and present anti-federal member of Congress! N. Y. Evening Post.
Throughout the whole extent of female fashionable tactics, at the present day, the art of erecting a formidable breastwork, is by far the most important and most successfully cultivated.
By former engineers, a breast-work was constructed solely for purposes of defence; but improved by modern female ingenuity, it is employed as a most direct and powerful method of attack.

I will sell the plantation on which I now live containing 112 1/2 acres. This land is in a high state of cultivation, the soil well adapted for the culture of small grain, Corn or Tobacco; is exceedingly well watered with never-failing springs, one of sulphur, and two pleasant streams passing through it—there are on the premises a convenient store, dwelling house and a good log kitchen adjoining large new barn, tann-house and yard with other necessary houses. About one half of this land is cleared and under good fencing. There is on the premises a young bearing orchard of choice fruit-trees, a small meadow fit for the scythe, and ten or twelve acres more may be made; these lands are situated in a healthy neighborhood, convenient to several merchant mills, and within one mile of the turnpike road leading from Snickers's Gap to Alexandria, and about 8 miles from said Gap. Possession will be given immediately, or in the fall next, which ever best suits the purchaser, and an indisputable title will be given upon the payment of the purchase money.
