GENTLEMEN,
For the consideration of the inhabitants liable to pay taxes, you are requested to publish the following letter, containing the opinion of Mr. CHARLES LEE on the new tax, and oblige yours, &c.
RICHARD CONWAY. Messrs. S. Snowden and Co.
Alexandria, 7th. Nov. 1801.
SIR,
IN consequence of your conversations I have turned my attention to the subject of the new Tax imposed by the Board of Commissioners, for the maintenance of the poor during the current year, and for commencing a fund to provide for them a permanent establishment in future.
The charitableness of the object ought not to prevent a correct view of the tax, and to me it appears to be illegal, unnecessary, arbitrary and oppressive.
Illegal, because it is neither conformable to the laws of Virginia or Maryland, and one or the other ought to furnish the rule. If the rule is furnished by the laws of Maryland, which, is my opinion, then by these no authority is given to levy a poor tax, but from year to year, for the expenses of each year; or if the laws of Virginia are supposed to furnish the rule, then these do not authorise an assessment of real property and a per centage upon the amount thereof, for this purpose.
Unnecessary, because by the laws of Congress, certain fines and forfeitures in the County of Alexandria are payable to the Board of Commissioners to defray the County expenses; and from this fund, I am creditably informed, there is already a sum in the hands of the Marshal and Inspector of Flour, exceeding one thousand dollars, which, most probably, will be still greater at the end of the year. Heretofore less than two thousand dollars has been found sufficient for the yearly charges of the poor in the Town, and as to the other part of the County, scarcely any sum is required on this account. The new tax is calculated to raise 4,000 dollars, and as 1,000 dollars in addition to the fines and forfeitures already in the hands of the Marshal and Flour Inspector, make a greater sum than has been expended in any one year, to my knowledge, it is manifestly unnecessary to raise four thousand dollars for this object during the present year.
Arbitrary, because it proceeds from the will and pleasure of the Board of Commissioners, being neither agreeable to the laws of Congress, or of Virginia, or of Maryland, and is founded on an assessment palpably unequal and unjust. Instances of this inequality need not to be recited.
Oppressive: because it is exacted in addition to the usual taxes, and upon a new assessment considerably exceeding any former valuation of the same property, and exacted at a time when one fourth or one third of the sum would certainly have been enough for the present year, according to the best judgment I have been able to form upon the subject.
The result of these observations is that you are not bound by law to pay the tax, and if the tax gatherer proceeds in the collection, it will be at his peril.
CHARLES LEE.
To Capt. Richard Conway.

To the Hon. JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.
IN the observations and remarks now submitted to your consideration, and that of the people of the United States, you will perceive none of those malignant effusions, which have too long disgraced the freedom of the press, as applied by your "Sect" to the sages and patriots who have preceded you in the high and dignified stations to which they have been called by the voice of America—But you will find an attempt to examine your political conduct with candor, and with that decency which becomes a freeman, and to which from your former services, and the high station you fill, you are entitled from every American.
In early life you were distinguished as a young man of splendid talents and genius, from whom much was expected at riper years: and at a very early period you were elected a member of the legislature, and during I believe the first session in which you served, you were elevated to the rank of a Councillor of State. In both these capacities it is conceded you faithfully and ably discharged your several important duties. Your promising talents, soon, however, marked you out as a proper character to fill a still more important and dignified office, and you again received an elevation to that of a member of Congress under the Confederation, which, feeble as it was, carried us triumphantly through our revolutionary contest. Returning your appointment to your native state, your eminent talents soon again brought you into the legislature, where, in conjunction with the venerable Henry, with whom you cordially coincided in recommending to the several states forming the American Confederacy, to appoint delegates to meet at Annapolis for the purpose of strengthening the bond of union, by which they were for common defence and common benefits united. The old confederation, during the storms of war in which all America united in the common cause, was found, when aided by patriotic sentiments pervading every breast, sufficiently strong to ward off the dangers with which our independence was assailed—But no sooner had peace spread its benign influence over our happy land, than it was found, those patriotic feelings and sentiments which had guided us safely through our struggles for liberty, no longer upheld and supported our weak and tottering government.
It was found that, in the construction of man, there are certain feelings and passions that can only be restrained within proper bounds, by wholesome, energetic, and well administered laws; that the powers of our rulers were scoffed at and disregarded—That thirteen jarring and independent governments afforded no security or protection to our rights and our property—That confidence between man and man, in the ordinary transactions of society, was but a name, and in fact had no existence—That the general welfare, for the want of energy in the government, was scarcely known, and that the confederation which had fairly carried us to peace, liberty, and independence, was crumbling into dust, and at the eve of dissolution.
Without a shilling in the national treasury to support the ordinary expenses of civil government, not to mention the payment of our honest debts, the price of that peace, liberty and independence which we so much prize, for which we so nobly fought and bled, and for which, honor, gratitude and the national faith, was so solemnly pledged. Hence resulted that wise measure already mentioned, of calling upon the several states to give efficient powers to the general government to enable it to perform all those honorable and sacred engagements. And you, Sir, as one among the distinguished American worthies, were selected by your native state to assist in that august assembly—How you conducted yourself in this momentous business is known, and with gratitude acknowledged, by existing millions of the American people. The form of a constitution was adopted and submitted to the states for ratification.
Returning from your able and successful labors in the general convention, all eyes looked up to, and all hearts beat high for the continued exertions of the intelligent Madison—reposing entire confidence in his powerful aid in completing the work so happily begun; and under his auspices, all entertained the most flattering hopes, that a wise frame of government would soon be established, the duration of which
would be commensurate with time, and under which, the existing generation and the latest posterity would find a shield for life, liberty and property. The constitution and form of government was adopted and organized. Before I proceed to examine you in your new station of a representative of the people in Congress, under the new government, permit me to take some notice of your later conduct in the State Legislature. During the period which passed from the peace of 1783 to the organization of the new government in 1789, no subject perhaps excited more unjust clamour than the honest payment of the national debt—the price of independence: speculations on the unpay soldier, or on the necessitous officer, had been extended to a considerable degree. Persons either for gain, or possessing more confidence in the faith of government than others, adventured their monies in these unfounded debts, and whilst partial provision only, was made by some of the States to pay off the interest of the State debts, it was natural to expect the evidences would undergo considerable depreciation—more so in respect to the proper debt of the United States in the then government, of which no power of coercion existed for raising revenue, and as the nation could barely support its own civil government by requisitions, no reliance could be had for the honourable and faithful discharge of its debts.
This state of things actually produced in Massachusetts, a serious rebellion against the laws. In our own State, things did not extend so far, but you will recollect how much sensibility was excited upon this subject, and you will moreover recollect, a serious proposition was brought forward in the legislature for discriminating between original holders of certificates, and holders by purchase. Do you recollect Sir, that proposition? I will answer the question—You do. Do you remember your speech upon this subject? You do. This speech silenced all opposition, and to use the strong and decisive language of a dearest friend, for which he was highly distinguished, expressed by him to the writer of these remarks, "It was the best speech he ever heard or read, and better than any he ever expected to hear or read." These sentiments in the State Legislature, are introduced here, to contrast them with those delivered by you on a similar subject in Congress, and will be noticed hereafter. In order to bring you fully before the public, I must also recur to the period of the general convention. Do you recollect, Sir, that you either publicly in the convention, or privately to some members with whom you were then in political unison and confidence, proposed and strongly advocated, the incorporation of an article in the constitution for assuming the state debts? You must recollect the fact, and you must further recollect, that you could with difficulty be prevailed upon to give up this favorite idea. A distinguished member of the convention convinced you by reasoning to the following effect. "The subject of assuming the state debts is proper for legislative interposition, and within the powers to be given to the general government, and a measure so just in itself that no doubt can be entertained of its adoption. To make it an article of the constitution may defeat the adoption, by the states, or some of them." To this reasoning you reluctantly yielded, and the article was not introduced. At the first session of the first congress, the secretary of the treasury was directed to report to congress at their next session ways and means for the support of public credit, and to pay the debts of the Union. During the recess did not the then secretary of the treasury, with whom you were in habits of intimacy and confidence, correspond regularly with you, asking your advice and support on this important and momentous subject? Did he not communicate to you very early his intention to recommend the assumption of the state debts—did he not confidentially submit his report to you before it went into Congress for your approbation, and did you not then for the first time, suggest your objection to the article of assumption? What were your reasons for thus rapidly changing your opinion upon a fundamental principle? In the convention in 1787 you were found a zealous advocate for making the assumption of State debts a constitutional regulation.
In 1790 you are found opposing in Congress this very principle, so strongly contended for in Convention. The enlightened Madison, it is believed, does not change his opinion, always formed with great deliberation, upon light and trivial
grounds! Upon what grounds then I again ask, was this opinion changed? And how does this conduct square with the opinion entertained by you in convention? In it we certainly can behold nothing of that substantial and consistent policy so essential to a statesman. But how shall another departure from established principles be accounted for? You delivered a speech in the legislature of Virginia against discrimination, "the best ever heard or read," and in Congress, only two or three years after, you advocated this very discrimination. Can you reconcile these strange contradictions? Can even the sagacious Madison, reconcile these jarring opinions? When you were first elected to Congress, you were supported by federalists—Your opponent, Mr. Monroe, was supported by the other "Sect." In the General Convention, in the State Convention, and during the early part of your services in the new Congress, you were a Federalist. It is also believed you had a considerable share in writing the best exposition and recommendation of the constitution extant, under the signature of Publius—Mr. Monroe was an anti-federalist. This gentleman has continued so, and it is believed has never deviated from his original principles. You are now in cordial policy with him. Has Mr. Monroe more understanding than yourself?—Do you yield the palm of intelligence to the faithful ex-minister? Or do you acknowledge him to possess more candor and more political honesty than yourself? These, Sir, are some of the prominent features in your political portrait.
I will now examine you in your present station of secretary of state. By the constitution and the practice of the government you are made one of the confidential cabinet councillors of the President, and hence it must be inferred, and the inference is fair and irresistible, that you not only approve, but recommend the violence and oppression with which the President indulges, and gratifies his malignant passions against innocent and unoffending "meritorious officers to make room for "unworthy creatures of his own."
Do you, or can you with a clear conscience recommend now, when "the imagination is heated and disturbed by faction," that political intolerance, as despotic as wicked, the dismissing meritorious officers ? Do you not perceive that even the calm, mild and intelligent Madison can view with more than savage delight, that tyrannical exercise of power, the abuse of which in 1789, exceeded his conception, and to which his imagination could not extend upon any rational principle? Altho' the imagination may be heated and disturbed by faction, there must be moments when these passions will give place to calm reflection, and in these moments will you be pleased to reflect, and let me ask, do you not now, as in 1798, think that the President in the wanton exercise of this dangerous and royal power deserves an impeachment before the Senate? Although you no doubt recollect your speeches and opinions in 1798, and although they have been recently republished, you are again invited to peruse them. Your judgment will readily suggest the consequent deductions which will be made by the people of America and their representatives, to whom this solemn appeal is submitted.
I have been long acquainted with you personally: have long admired your talents and usefulness, and whilst I lament that the degeneracy of the times has marked you as an apostate from original & correct principles, I most hope you will sooner or later see your error, and I pray you consider well—I beseech you to turn from your present course of political intolerance and assert your own independence & better judgment than that of your Chief. Notwithstanding Mr. Jefferson is elevated to the first office in the government, you possess more of the public confidence than attaches to him; because it is believed you possess more virtue and talents.
Turn then I say from your present course, and as you have in former times contributed in an essential degree to restore a dissatisfied people to order and good government—As you have also had a considerable hand in bringing about the present alarming convulsions, threatening death and destruction to this happy land; turn then I repeat once more, and add your weight in the scale of tranquilizing a divided people.
With an assurance of future notice of your political career, accept the homage of my highest respect.
A VIRGINIAN.
Loudon, October, 1801.
LONDON, Sept. 10. WAR IN INDIA.
In a former paper we stated the commencement of a new war in Indostan, & the movement of the Mysore army & Bombay against the Cottore Rajah; by the last overland dispatches we are possessed of letters to the 4th of May, which gives the following account of the occasion and progress of the war to that date:—
"In the year 1775, Hyder Ally assumed the Mysore Rajah to take possession of a part of Wynaad, which the Cottore Rajah had wrested from Coorga sixty or seventy years before. An attempt was made some years after by two young princes of Coorga to retake this district, but they, and a great part of their army, perished in the enterprise, but the pretensions of their family were not relinquished."
"Nagapan, the present Rajah of Coorga, some time since, by professions of friendship seduced the Coorga Rajah to Cottore on a visit, when he treacherously threw him into prison, and compelled him to purchase his liberty by assigning to Nagapan some very valuable districts."
"Coorga Rajah was then suffered to return; and a strong corps followed him across the Ghauts to take possession of the ceded provinces. Being arrived in the country, he quickly assembled a superior corps, and surrounding the Cottore detachment, compelled its leader to sign a deed, not only cancelling that which had been extorted by Nagapan, but in his name, relinquish all claims to that part of Wynaad which had been for so many years the object of dispute. This produced a fresh war, which after nearly depopulating the country, was terminated by the British government, which at the peace of Seringapatam, took the Coorga Rajah under its protection."
"Nagapan, though restrained from hostilities by the presence of the British forces on his frontiers, prepared for war so soon as circumstances would favor its commencement: And the moment our troops were called to the northward by the rebellion of Doondeah, he renewed his depredations on the Coorga frontiers, and advantaged by the absence of the Rajah to the eastward, carried destruction into the heart of his dominions, putting to death many women and children of his family, destroying whole villages, and committing the most wanton and barbarous excesses."
"To repress and punish these outrages, the Mysore army, under the command of col. Stephenson, in the beginning of January last, commenced its operations. Our troops had been engaged in numerous skirmishes with the enemy, but advantaged by the nature of the country, he had been enabled to avoid any general action, and harassed and annoyed our people exceedingly. The main body of his army comprised about 4000 men, supplied with a numerous park of artillery, is directed, it is stated, by French engineers. A division of the Bombay army was advancing to take them in rear, which was expected to oblige them to abandon the fastnesses which they occupied, and from whence it would otherwise be extremely difficult to dislodge them."
"The movements of the Nagapan are connected with, and supposed to have influenced the hostility of some others of the native powers. Accounts from Wynaad state, that in the beginning of April, a large body of troops, supposed to be in the pay of the Pyche Rajah, had assembled on the Wombatalam, and encamped on its banks. A detachment of the British southern army was sent to drive them from this position, but the force proved inadequate to the service. Our people attacked with their accustomed gallantry, but the enemy having brought some heavy guns to bear on them from an eminence, they were obliged to retire with loss."
"A few days after, in consequence of severe rains, the river overflowed its banks and obliged the enemy to retire from his position, when our troops, considerably reinforced, renewed the attack, routed, and pursued him to the Ghauts; where we have established posts to observe his further movements."
"Amongst the killed and wounded three or four Frenchmen have been discovered; and it has been ascertained that several others have been sent from the Mauritius, for the purpose of exciting the Pyche Rajah to hostility with the British, and organizing and directing his army."
"These contests, however, altho' now productive of extreme toil, and some loss to our people, must ultimately tend to the extension of our empire in India, now too

firmly established to be seriously affected by the impotent guffs of passion which so frequently agitate that hemisphere; they have prevented the proposed reduction of the military establishment on the line of frontier from Ballery Durgan to Aovigaram, and induce considerable reinforcements being sent thither."

Too much praise cannot be bestowed on governor Wentworth for his humane exertions in contributing to the relief and comfort of distressed seamen, who may be cast on the isle of Sable. It is evident, that American seamen, in a peculiar degree will be benefited by the important establishment now going forward on that hitherto desolate isle.
The following letter on this subject, from a respectable source, will be found interesting.
Extract of a letter from Halifax, Nova-Scotia, dated 9th Oct. 1801.
"I am indebted and very thankful to you for several kind letters, the objects of which I have exerted my best interests to accomplish; and I hope the several persons engaged have reported to you—You will be pleased to find the legislature have passed a liberal vote of money for the purpose of commencing an establishment on the isle of Sable; to prevent as much as possible shipwrecks, and to afford all aid and assistance to preserve persons and property cast on those shores. The honorable Wm. Forsyth and Charles M. Wentworth, and Michael Wallace, William Cochran and Charles Morris, esquires, are commissioners for effecting this important trust. Jas. Morris (who you probably may recollect, an inn keeper on the Windsor road) is appointed superintendant to reside on that island.—He is particularly qualified, by his good temper, sobriety, uncommon mechanical ingenuity, and seventeen years service in the navy. He is appointed justice of the peace and inspector, surveyor and collector of import and excise, and is
also authorized by a warrant to take charge of the island, shores and fisheries and of all wrecks found there, in cases where persons are not saved, competent to the care of such property. Instructions are given to him, that persons saved with property, are to have the full care, charge and possession of it, and to export it in any manner they may think best. Every aid and assistance is to be afforded, and a receipt given specifying the property saved, the aid received, and referring the salvage or reward to be ascertained by the commissioners at Halifax; but neither fee or reward is to be taken, or property disposed of upon the island. There are also four able men and proper boats with materials completely fitted to erect an house and good stores. Also cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry for breed, and some for use if necessity requires; cloathing, salted provisions, and all other necessaries have also been provided, and the detachment with stores and materials failed in a fine schooner on the 4th inst. under convoy of his majesty's armed brig the Earl of Moira, capt. Fawson, who is to land one of his twelve pound carronades with a sufficient allowance of cartridges and sky rockets for signals, and to answer guns heard from the sea. Flags are to be hoisted as soon as flag-staffs can be located. The mode, and combination to denote danger, and how to escape it, is to be concerted by capt. Fawson and Mr. Morris on their arrival on the island. On the return of the former I will transmit the same for your precise information. The buildings now sent, will be erected on the west side of the island. Next year we propose to erect others in the middle and on the east end, if this ensuing winter's experiment should recommend it. The liberality and cheerfulness with which the legislature have encouraged this humane establishment, reflects the greatest credit on them; and affords me the most sincere satisfaction. I am persuaded you will participate with us herein, and as the navigation of the United States is particularly interested, that you will make such communications, as you may think expedient to enable whoever may want it, to be best availed of the benefits intended by the institution. The greatest care has been taken to extend aid as much as possible, to prevent misfortune or to relieve it, and to secure property from loss or from extortion for saving it, by referring it in all cases to the commissioners in Halifax; from whose respectability we are assured equity and charity will be united in directing and deciding. The superintendant and boatmen are paid and subsisted, and all necessaries furnished by this government; that no claims or demand should be made by them, upon the unfortunate. But as extraordinary risque, enterprize and exertion in so good a cause deserve recompence—such cases are to be exactly stated to the commissioners, who are to consider of the measure and mode of extra reward to be given."
Extract of a letter from the captain of a vessel lying at St. Jago de Cuba, to his owner in this city, dated 6th October, 1801, received by the schr Sukey and Polly.
"There has been the devil to pay here, and I came in to share the storm. Shortly after my letter to you of the 13th September, an order came on from the governor of the Havana to arrest the American consul, Mr. Blakely; to seize his property, and to confine him in prison; which was put into immediate execution. This measure, it is supposed, has been adopted in consequence of representations to the Spanish government that he was engaged in carrying on an illicit trade."

The immense and overgrown population of the Russian empire has often been the subject of the wonder of travellers and politicians. It is not, however, wholly unaccountable. We learn from a late statistical writer, that before the year 1770 there were not three books in that empire upon medical subjects!
Substitute for Columbo. The stem and root of the plant, called
by L'Heretier, xanthoriza simplicissima, or apifolia, has been found, by professor Woodhouse, to afford a beautiful yellow dye. It is the native of the Carolinas; and the specimens sent us have a bitter aromatic, and somewhat mucilaginous taste. Dr. Woodhouse affirms that they possess medicinal powers not materially unlike those of Columbo root. This plant may, therefore, be considered a valuable addition to the American Materia Medica.

Mr. —————,
I am instructed by the President and Directors to inform you, that in consequence of the malicious reports lately circulated and published in handbills, and in some of the newspapers, tending to injure the credit of this Bank, they determined to have a full investigation of all its transactions made by a few intelligent stockholders, of well known established character, residents of different parts of the country, and not particularly connected with them, in order that such report thereof might be made as they should deem necessary for the satisfaction of all concerned.
For this purpose the President and Directors requested the attendance of the five following gentlemen:—John Steele, Esq. Comptroller of the Treasury of the United States, George Murdoch, Esq. of Fredericksburg, William Lorman, Esq. of Baltimore, William Drummond, Esq. of Frederickburg, and David Stuart, Esq. of Dodon, near Annapolis; who met here accordingly, on the morning of the 3d inst. By desire of the Board I now hand you annexed a copy of their report, containing the result of the examination.
I am very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Wm. WHANN, Cashier.

The subscribers, Stockholders in the Bank of Columbia, having attended at the request of the President and Directors thereof, and having taken time to examine minutely into its affairs (which were fully exposed to our view) do without hesitation declare to all concerned, that the examination has perfectly confirmed our confidence, and that the specie funds compared with the amount of notes in circulation and all claims of every nature on the Bank, completely prove the safety and stability of the institution.
