The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis- covery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.

FROM THE FEDERAL GAZETTE.
GENTLEMEN,
As soon as there appeared reason for believing, that the house of representatives intended to adjourn, without preferring articles before the senate, in support of the impeachment voted against me, the inclosed memorial was prepared, and transmitted (on Saturday the 24th ult.) to a member, with a request, that he should present it, if such an intention should be ascertained to exist. On Monday the 26th ultimo, the morning of the day previously fixed for adjournment by a joint resolution of both houses, articles of impeachment were reported by the committee; but it was clearly impossible for the house to act upon them; nor does the time until which they were kept back, leave the least room for supposing, that the committee, who made the report, intended that they should be acted upon before adjournment.
But whatever may have been the intention with which they were reported, at such a time, the effect undoubtedly will be, that they will pass into the public prints, under the sanction of a committee of Congress, and even under the apparent sanction of the house itself; and that as they contain the most aggravated and inflamed construction, which it was possible for passion and party spirit to put on the ex-parte evidence, whereon the vote of impeachment was founded, they will become a very powerful engine in the hands of calumniators and party zealots, for heightening to the utmost the prejudices and odium, which all the former proceedings in this case are so well calculated to excite.
The report of these articles prevented the memorial from being presented; the member to whom it was sent having been of opinion, that the case, in which it was my wish to have it presented did no longer exist. But as these articles have not been adopted by the house, or even considered; as they must be taken up at the next session, and may then be rejected, or wholly varied; as the charges which I am to answer, and against which I ought to have been placed in a situation to prepare for defending myself, are thus left in the same state of uncertainty as before the report; and as this report, far from accomplishing the object which the memorial seeks, can have no other effect than to encrease and aggravate the injuries whereof it complains; I deem it proper now to make it public, as an appeal to my country, to the world, and to posterity, against the injustice and illegality of the proceedings in this case, and as a solemn protest against the principles on which they are founded. I therefore request that you will please to insert it, with this letter, in your useful and respectable paper.
That it may be seen that my impression of the articles reported by the committee is not erroneous, I enclose a copy of them, [as heretofore published in the Advertiser.] It is proper to state that four (I believe) of the five members of the committee, who reported the articles, were the same members who collected and reported the testimony; and that fourteen days elapsed between the time when this committee was ordered to report articles, and the time when the report was actually made. This fact will assist in forming a judgment, as to the views, with which it was kept back, until the last day of the session. Had the report been made sooner, as it might easily have been, the articles might have been rejected by the house; or might at least have been deprived, by amendments, of part of their wanton venom and abuse.
I am, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
SAMUEL CHASE.
Baltimore, March 29, 1804.
To the Hon. the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES of the UNITED STATES.
The Memorial of Samuel Chase, one of the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States.
WITH the respect due to a branch of the government of his country; but with the frankness with conscious and injured innocence has a right to assume, and which an early, zealous, and constant supporter of American liberty ought to use; your memorialist approaches your honorable body, to lay his complaints at your feet, and to call on your justice for redress.
He has delayed this step until so late a period of the session, because he still indulged the hope, that your honorable body would not adjourn, without reducing the charges against him to some specific form; so that he might be enabled to know of what he is accused, and to direct his attention immediately to the means necessary for proving his innocence, and vindicating
his character. But finding, at last, that an adjournment is about to take place, without any thing of this kind being done; that a vote of impeachment, resting on no precise or specific charges or facts, and supported only by ex-parte testimony, is about to be left hanging, for a whole year, over his head; and that the publication of this testimony is permitted, in such a way as to render it most injurious to his reputation, without leaving to him the possibility of combating it by counter-proof: his duty to that character, which he has supported unimpeached during a period of forty years, through all the troubles, difficulties, and dangers of the American revolution; to his family, whose happiness, respectability, and establishment in life, are materially implicated in whatever concerns his good name; to his country, which has honored him with many high and important trusts; to his office, which requires a reputation not only unspotted but unsuspected; and to himself—forbids him to remain longer in silence.
He therefore respectfully solicits and intreats, that your honorable body will not suffer an adjournment to take place, until articles of impeachment shall have been preferred against him. Thus, although an immediate trial, which his feelings would lead him to prefer, may not be possible at this protracted period of the session, still he will be enabled, knowing the precise charges against him, to make vigorous, speedy and effectual preparations for his defence, to repel the malignant calumnies by which he is industriously and unceasingly assailed, and fully to vindicate that innocence, for which he solemnly appeals to the Almighty Searcher of hearts, to the testimony of his own conscience, to his country, and to an impartial posterity. He is far from arrogating to himself an exemption from the usual portion of human frailty: But for the purity of his intentions, for the uprightness of his conduct, and for the faithful and conscientious discharge of his official duties, on all occasions, according to the best lights of his understanding; he confidently appeals to that dread Tribunal where he and his accusers must one day appear, where the inmost recesses of all hearts shall be laid open, the most hidden motives of conduct shall be revealed, and calumny, malice, and party-rage, shall forever be put to silence.
He is the more strongly induced to urge this request, and to express his earnest hope that it will not be refused, by those reflections which it has not been in his power to avoid making, on the course hitherto pursued in this prosecution.
That charges so weighty as to render a judge of the supreme court a fit object of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors, should have been suffered to rest in oblivion for four years; although they are founded on facts perfectly notorious in their nature, and perfectly well known to the persons who, after so great a lapse of time, have at length made them the ground of a prosecution the most solemn known to our laws; that this prosecution, so long delayed, should be commenced precisely at the moment when a political change supposed by many, though he hopes unjustly, to be favorable to its success, had taken place; are circumstances but little calculated to impart confidence to the heart of innocence, or to quiet those alarms which she may feel when opposed to uncontrouled power.
Nor is the manner of commencing this prosecution, more confiding than the time. A formal enquiry into the official conduct of a judge, must always be to him a matter of very serious moment. It must always expose him to very great uneasiness and may render him obnoxious to the most unjust and injurious suspicions. It is wholly inconsistent with the humane and just principles of our laws, to subject a citizen to evils of this kind, without some specific accusation resting on facts precisely stated, and supported by such proof on oath, as renders their existence at least probable. No man, however mean his condition, or however infamous his character, can be bound over to undergo the enquiry of a grand jury without such an accusation, and such proof. A grand jury cannot listen to any accusation against a man, nor enquire into his conduct, much less put him upon his trial by finding a presentment against him, unless such an accusation so supported be first adduced; and the person maliciously instigating the enquiry is liable, in case it should be rejected, to a suit for reparation by the accused party. All these just and humane provisions are established by our laws, and every precedent, that deserves or has received the weight of authority, concurs in requiring the full application of the provisions to the case of impeachment.
And yet in this prosecution all these provisions have been completely disregarded. An enquiry has been instituted, of the most serious import to the party accused, on the mere suggestion of a member in his place, unsupported by oath, or by specific statement of facts, which if support-
ed by oath would have justified an enquiry. This enquiry thus instituted in a manner most unprecedented and alarming, far from being confined to any specific charge or fact, is extended to the whole official conduct of a judge who has been above eight years in office, and authorizes the most minute inquisition of his most unguarded and most inconsiderable words and actions, throughout the whole period. It cannot escape your honorable body, how formidable an engine of oppression such an enquiry must be, in the hands of persons disposed to abuse it. Your memorialist is far from insinuating that such has been the case in the present instance. This insinuation he could not make, or even suspect to be well founded, without derogating from the respect that ought to be inspired by so elevated a body: but the fundaments of principles is in no manner so well tested as by the consequences to which they lead. And although it cannot be suspected that this honorable body is under the influence of party spirit, party views, or individual malice, yet it is a melancholy truth that free governments are liable to the influence of party spirit, and that when this fatal passion takes full possession of the mind, it completely stifles every sentiment of justice and humanity, all regard for law and right. Should the time ever arrive, which God avert! when a majority of congress, inflamed by party spirit, and seeking the destruction of its opponents, shall desire to criminate a judge, in order to heap odium on the party with which he is connected; when a president, at the head of this majority and guiding its passions, shall desire, from motives of private resentment, the ruin of any judge; when the schemes of the dominant party, or of its leaders, may require the removal of all firm, right and independent judges, and the substitution of others more complying or more timid; when the necessities of a favorite purpose may require the removal of a judge, in order to create a vacancy in office; should such a disastrous period ever arrive, as the history of other free governments informs us it may, in what manner will the devoted victim, however innocent, be able to shield himself against the thrusts of such a weapon, as this species of enquiry, instigated in such a manner and on such principles, cannot fail to furnish? Your memorialist trembles for the honor of his country, and for the success of republican government in this her last and latest experiment, much more than for his own safety, when he reflects on the excesses that under such a cloak may be committed.
Does the manner in which this enquiry has been conducted, present any considerations calculated to remove or diminish the alarm excited by its commencement? Far otherwise! A great mass of testimony has been taken, which though calculated to affect your memorialist in the most material manner, he has had no opportunity of confronting, cross examining or explaining. This testimony, in the taking of which some individuals were allowed to indulge themselves in the most rancorous invectives against your memorialist, and to clash with the formalities and fashion of an oath, the malicious effusions of their provoked and implacable resentment; this testimony, thus tarnished with the deep stain of partiality, hatred and revenge, was printed piece meal, in the progress of the enquiry, and though not immediately published, was placed in a condition to be extensively circulated, and thus to be employed as a mean of deeply wounding the reputation of your memorialist, of exciting universal odium against him, and of preparing the way for a certain condemnation, when a clamor shall have been excited, strong enough to drown the voice of reason, truth and justice.
Your memorialist by no means wishes to be understood as insinuating that such was the intention wherewith this step was taken, his respect for the body by which it was authorised, forbids him to harbour such a suspicion. But such may be the effect, and such it must be, in his apprehension, unless your honorable body, by preferring specific charges against him immediately, shall enable him to prepare speedily and efficiently for justifying his conduct and defending his character against the unjust and wanton aspersions with which this testimony abounds.
The recent publication of this testimony, in a Gazette understood to be the official organ of the government, and thence communicating an official character and sanction to whatever of this nature appears in it, is a circumstance calculated to increase, in a very great degree, the mischievous effects of the testimony itself, and renders still more important the measure which your memorialist so earnestly solicits. From this Gazette, the publication will pass into others; and thus the most violent misrepresentations of his conduct, and slanders on his character, sanctioned too, in some degree, by the vote of impeachment, will be spread throughout the United States; and will even extend to foreign countries; while the opportunity of refuting them, must of necessity, be delayed for a considerable time, and, if articles of impeachment are not immediately exhibited, may be postponed to a very distant period.
He is still more strongly impressed with the necessity of demanding, as a sacred right, this immediate exhibition of articles, when he reflects on the manner in which the impeachment was voted. It is in vain that he has looked, in this vote and in the report of the committee on which it is founded, for even a hint of the offences with which he stands charged. He is impeached of "high crimes and misdemeanors;" but in what these high crimes and misdemeanors consist, when how and where they were committed, is no where declared. The testimony collected by the committee, does indeed state

variety of facts, which may constitute the grounds of accusation. The principles of justice and law and the uniform course of practice, united in requiring that each of these facts, or each that is intended to rely on, should be put by the committee into the form of a specific charge, and made the subject of a distinct resolution. The sense of the house would then have been expressed on every charge separately, and each would have been supported or rejected, according to the opinion entertained by the majority respecting its truth and its sufficiency. Your memorialist would then have known even without articles, what it is, of which he stands accused, and to what points to direct his preparations for defence. His family, his friends, his country, and the world would have known what it is that has been, called "high crimes and misdemeanors;" and would have been able to judge how far the accusation is supported by facts, and the facts by the proof.
There is another point of view in which your memorialist deems it his sacred duty, a duty to his country more than to himself, a duty which no consideration shall prevent him from performing, to enter his most solemn protest against this part of the proceeding. His protest may not now be heard. The passions and the prejudices of the moment may drown his voice. But it will one day be heard and seriously listened to. The American people will hear it, posterity will hear it—and the lovers of liberty in every age and country, will unite in asserting the justice of his complaint.
He complains that by the method pursued in voting this impeachment, a majority has been obtained in favor of the general vote, while it is possible and even probable, that there is not a majority in favor of any one of the separate charges on which the vote is founded. The accusations against him so far as can be collected from the testimony and from the speeches of members, are very various. Let it be supposed that four charges are chiefly relied on, viz. the trial of Fries, the trial of Callender, the proceedings at New Castle, and the charge to the grand jury in Baltimore. It is perfectly manifest that these charges are wholly distinct, and cannot support or strengthen each other. Each is a misdemeanor in itself, or it is not. Therefore there ought to be a majority in favor of each separately, before it can be made the ground of impeachment.
Let it then be supposed, which is not only possible but highly probable, that thirty members and no more, considered the conduct of your memorialist in the trial of Fries, as a proper ground of impeachment. In that case it is manifest that your memorialist ought not to be impeached on that charge, there not being a majority in favor of it. In like manner there may have been but thirty members in favor of impeaching him, on account of Callender's trial; & so of the other two charges.
Thus although there might be but thirty members in favor of impeaching, on any one of the four charges, in which case it is manifest that there ought to be no impeachment, yet when all the charges are blended into one general question, every member who considers any charge as a proper ground of impeachment, and all the others as not proper grounds, must vote in the affirmative; and thus there will appear a great majority in favor of a measure, which is actually disapproved by a great majority. This is an innovation so striking, so alarming, so repugnant to all former ideas of justice and law, that it may be safely pronounced to furnish, especially when combined with the principle of indefinite enquiry without previous specific allegations, and of ex-parte testimony, the most formidable, the most irresistible engine of oppression, under the forms of law, that ever was placed in the hands of power: and if the time should ever arrive, which Heaven in its mercy avert! when this engine shall be wielded under the direction of party spirit, or of popular passion instigated by personal malice or sinister policy, dreadful indeed will be the condition of those whom it may be the object of the moment to destroy.
Against an accusation thus prepared, and thus preferred, it behoves your memorialist to make the earliest and the most efficacious preparations for defending his character and asserting his innocence. While the accusation rests in its present vague state, he knows not to what points to direct these preparations; and in the mean time the fullest scope is given to calumny, and malevolence & suspicion, ever alive and busy, is left free to act; and the most efficacious means are afforded, for overwhelming with public odium an innocent man, who, until the age of sixty three, has maintained an unspotted reputation; who bore an early and not an unimportant part in our common struggle for liberty; and who, after discharging with honor, many most important trusts conferred on him by his fellow citizens, was raised by Washington, the witness of his services, and often the companion of his exertions, to that high office, his conduct in which though now the subject of accusation, has always been regulated by the most conscientious regard to his duty and his oath.
These are injuries to which he cannot suppose that your honorable body will suffer him to remain exposed. He therefore presumes to solicit most respectfully, but most earnestly; and confidently hopes, that your honorable body will not adjourn without preferring articles of impeachment against him, & thus reducing to precise form that accusation, which in its present vague and general state, it is impossible for him to repel. Could an immediate trial be had, it would be far more agreeable to his feelings; but as circumstanced render it impossible that he should be gratified in that extent, he forbears to ask it; and confines himself to that request, which it is, he conceives, perfectly easy for your honorable body to grant.

Arrived, ship Fabius, captain Farrell, from Liverpool. Spoke schooner Chance, John Griffiths, master, of and from Philadelphia, bound to Laguira, 6 days out, belonging to Nixon, Walker, & Co. of Philadelphia.
To the Chief justice and associate justices of the supreme court of the United States, and all others whom it may concern.
ALFRED MOORE, late an associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, having resigned the said office, I have with the advice and consent of the Senate appointed WILLIAM JOHNSON, of South-Carolina to be an associate Justice of the said court: and in pursuance of the authority of the law in such case provided, I do hereby continue the last allotment heretofore made of the chief justice and associate justices to the first, second, third, fourth and fifth circuits respectively, and I do allot the associate justice lately appointed as aforesaid to the sixth circuit to continue until another allotment shall be lawfully made.
GIVEN under my hand at Washington, this 29th day of March, 1804. (s. L.) and of the independence of the United States, the 28th. TH: JEFFERSON. By the President. JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.
Senator Wright.—This luminous legislative genius, has frequently given proofs in his speeches of uncommon penetration. But the Bill he lately introduced in the Senate to remove the seat of the National Government from the City of Washington to Baltimore, and his speech on that occasion, takes the lead of any thing we have yet seen from him. 'He did not wish, he said, that the seat of Government should be removed—it was permanently fixed at the City of Washington, and he only introduced the Bill to alarm the inhabitants, that they might make greater exertions to accommodate the members of Congress;' and in order to keep alive their fears 'he wished the Bill not to be acted on until the next session.' Any other man but Mr. Wright would have been silly enough to suppose, that such a declaration made on the floor of the Senate, in the presence of many of the citizens of Washington then and there assembled would destroy the alarm that his Bill might otherwise have created. But Mr. Wright either soared above these common-place ideas, or began to think, with Gen. Jackson, that it was unkind to bring in a Bill "merely to frighten the women and children of the District," and therefore, to relieve their apprehensions, told them at once, very honestly, that he was only in fun. We have understood that in consequence of this Bill, some wag drew a caricature of Senator Wright with the Capitol on his back, marching off to Baltimore, and posted it up at the door of the Senate-Chamber. If there had been a label from his mouth, with "I do not mean to budge a step—I am only joking"—written on it, the Caricature would have been more complete.

The Political Elephant. In an old work of great celebrity, it is wisely said, that "a Member of the Great Council, or Legislature of a State, should have three properties of an Elephant."
FIRST—"He should have no gall," that is he should be without malice, rancour, heat and envy. In elephantis melancholia transit in matrimonium corporis.
SECONDLY—"He should be inflexible, and not be bowed,"—that is, he should be constant, upright, and not to be turned from the right, either from fear, reward, or favor; nor in judgment respect any person or party."
THIRDLY—"He should be of a ripe and perfect memory, that he, remembering perils past may prevent dangers to come." (Boston Centinel.)
Extract of a letter received in Baltimore from Cape Francois, dated 18th ult. It is only 8 days since we were permitted to buy coffee, the government took all that was brought to market in consequence of which a meeting of the American merchants and supercar-
goes was held, and Unite Dodge, George Poe, jun. Arthur Blaney, and Thomas Brown, were deputed to draw up a petition and call upon all the Americans for their signatures. When we had obtained them we presented the petition to the general, and received not even an answer: however in a few days the restriction was taken off.
Annexed is a copy of the petition which you may have inserted in the paper, if you please, to let owners of vessels and property here, see that their consignees are not unmindful of their interest.
To the General of division and counsellor of state, Henry Christophe.
GENERAL, "We take the liberty most respectfully to represent, that as guardians of the vessels and property committed to our care, we feel most sensibly the critical situation in which we are placed, by the privilege of purchasing the produce of the island and of embarking other articles; being granted only to a few of our countrymen and refused to us, whilst the exportation of specie remains prohibited under the severest penalties. The vessels which we command in general, are not coppered, and such is the effect made on their bottoms, by the worm, that if they are kept much longer, they will most inevitably perish—should that be the result, the commerce of the United States to this island must languish, perhaps expire!
It is in your power, general, to prevent it.—Reflect only for a moment, upon our position, and as you possess the power to relieve us, so we are confident your inclination and your love of justice will induce you to do it."
"With the greatest respect, we have the honor to salute you."

B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent.
This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses at- tendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first re- spectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake of the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
