CORRESPONDENCE
BETWEEN HIS EXCELLENCY, TH. JEFFERSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND J. T. CALLENDER.
IT is, at any time, an ungracious and disagreeable business to disclose the deposit of confidence; in particular, the publication of letters, which had never been composed for the inspection of the public eye, presents an indelicate, a suspicious, and a painful circumstance. In England, where the trade of book-building has risen to great perfection, and has descended to great depravity, the practice of publishing private letters is one species of fraud, that has been most treacherously and most diligently cultivated. For instance, The Reverend Mr. Mason, a clergyman of correct manners, and of respectable talents, had been, for the greater part of his life, corresponding with the beautiful and admired poet, Mr. Gray. We refer to the inimitable author of an Elegy written in a Country Church Yard. As soon as the Rev'd. Mr. Mason found that he had fairly survived Mr. Gray, he did not think of any better employment, than that of publishing all those epistolary eccentricities, which, in the moment of vivacity, Mr. Gray had addressed to him in a series of about thirty years. We do not exactly know any other way of earning money, which is, to our feelings so irrevocably, & exceedingly disreputable, as that in which the Rev'd. Mr. Mason acquired the price of his Life of Mr. Gray. Suspicious that he was not sufficiently to be despised by posterity, as long as a name like his can dream of being remembered, he commenced a lawsuit against a London bookseller, who had by mere accident, reprinted about thirty two lines of Mr. Gray's posthumous poetry. An English jury, that inestimable institution, as D. Blackstone calls it, gave a verdict against Mr. John Murray, for one hundred pounds sterling. The parson put the penalty into his pocket. We never were able to learn that Mr. Gray wrote letters to Mr. Mason, with a previous intention that they were to be sold and purchased after his death, in order to gratify the sensibilities of a Yorkshire parson. Among other elegant and dignified expressions, which this invaluable correspondence transmitted to the British world, one which follows, was contained in a letter, dated from Edinburgh. Mr. Gray is therein made to inform the public, that, for some days, he had been residing at the house of Dr. Robertson, the memorable historian, the Sallust of the English language: "But, I am afraid," says he, "at Edinburgh, and the itch." This is the way in which one of your posthumous editors treated the confidence of the friends of his youth. This is the sort of correspondence which has exhibited under the name of a classical scholar, of a virtuous man and of an admired poet. We hope that very few of the readers of "The Recorder" would be solicitous to pocket a sum of money by selling the copy-right of such a publication.
This is one specimen of the respectable amusement of publishing confidential letters. We hasten to dispatch two instances, out of many that might be selected from the same class. The late Phillip, earl of Chesterfield, wrote some hundreds of letters to his natural son. He therein describes him as a weak man. Mr. Stanhope was married. He died. His lordship, died, also and as soon as they were both fairly buried, the widow of Mr. Stanhope carried the whole private and confidential manuscript to a bookseller. The sale was extremely extensive. It produced, upon the memory of her husband, and of her father-in-law, the most unlimited torrent of contempt & reproach. The lady pocketed the money, and smiled internally at the impatience of the world.
We shall only produce one other instance of the possible consequence of publishing letters. The Rev'd. Lawrence Sterne, the writer of Tristram Shandy, was another Yorkshire parson. He entertained a correspondence with a respectable lady. He was so unfortunate as to preserve a copy of his letters. As soon as he was dead, his faithful daughter conveyed the manuscript to market. They contain two or three sentences, which were no doubt, produced in the impetuosity of composition. But, if Sterne could have
foreseen, that they were to walk into publicity, he would rather have put the publisher under ground.
We have entered into this discussion, with a design of detailing the dislike that we feel to the printing of a private letter. An unforeseen assemblage of fatalities has compelled the publication of what follows. It has neither been provoked nor wanton. All Richmond knows, that it has been extorted by such a tempest of brutality, by a series of such editorial challenges and defiances, as, perhaps, never before disgraced the art of printing; and for the honor of human nature, we hope that such another process of publication will never arise again. The writer of this article has, in the way of business, found it often necessary to address the world. He has often been forced to publish what he wished to suppress; but, in the present instance, his finding it indispensable to publish confidential letters has cost him an excess of anguish, which he never felt before, and which he does not possess faculties capable of describing.
If the editors of the Recorder have expressed themselves with prolixity, let it be considered, that solicitude is apt to be excessive. Let any impartial person transpose himself, in fancy, into the situation of the present writer. Let him form the supposition that he had been attacked in the manner in which we have been. Let him read, if he can read it, that unmatched indecency, which burst open the asylum of the grave. It is useless to say, that the virtuous and delicate writer of The Notes on Virginia, had no connection with certain publications. After this day's Recorder, a visage of ten-fold brass would not venture to hint, that we have not been upon the inner side of the curtain. And, if we are injured are we not to reply?
What is a president of the United States? No citizen was more prompt than Mr. Jefferson to recommend a reduction of the twenty-five thousand dollars per annum, as a presidential salary. If it was, all at once, found eligible to make a reversal of opinion, is not this just the history of mankind? For, as the writer of the True-born Englishman says:
"The rogues without, still rail at rogues in place, And men are always honest in disgrace."
The variety of impressions, which have occurred in the endeavour to finish this article, has made it necessary for us to say, that our previous observations cannot be finished until our next number. In the mean time, the reader will pay all that degree of attention to this correct publication of the two letters, which he thinks that they may deserve. It is possible, it is believed to be certain, that some other minute circumstances will transpire, once a week, in the Recorder. In the mean time, we take the hazard of saying, that the editors of this paper will ultimately, and most indisputably be able to extricate themselves from all those explosions of calumny, and of fiction, which have been pointed against them.
Monticello, Sept. 6, '99
SIR,
BY a want of arrangement in a neighbouring post office during the absence of the post master, my letters and papers for two posts back were detained. I suppose it was owing to this that your letter tho' dated Aug. 10. did not get to my hand till the last day of the month, since which this is the first day I can through the post office acknowledge the receipt of it. Mr. Jefferson happens to be here and directs his agent to call on you with this and pay you 50 dollars, on account of the book you are about to publish. When it shall be out he so good as to send me 2. or 3. copies, and the rest only when I shall ask for them.
The violence which was meditated against you lately has excited a very general indignation in this part of the country. Our state from its first planting has been remarkable for its order and submission to the laws. But three instances are recollected in its history of an organized opposition to the laws. The first was Bacon's rebellion; the 2d. our revolution; the 3d. the Richmond association who, by the committee, have in the public papers avowed their purpose of taking out of the hands of the law the function of declaring who may or may not have free residence among us. But these gentlemen miscalculate the temper and force of this country extremely if they supposed there would have been a want of either to support the authority of the laws: and equally mistake their own interests in setting the ex-
ample of club-law. Whether their self organization, election of a committee, and publication of their manifestos, be such overt acts as bring them within the pale of law; the law I presume is to decide: and there it is our duty to leave it.—The delivery of Robbins to the British excites much feeling and enquiry here. With every wish for your welfare I am with great regard Sir
Your most obedient servant. TH'S JEFFERSON.
Mr. Callender.
Monticello Oct. 6, 99.
SIR,
ON receiving your favor of September 29, I did believe it would be in my power to answer you satisfactorily on both the points on which you ask information I know indeed that I had not made any particular memorandum of the sum which the C te de Vergennes supposed a treaty with the Porte would cost; but I expected that I had mentioned it either in my letter on the subject to Mr. Jay, or in that to Mr. Adams my colleague in the Barbary negotiations. After a very long search yesterday I found both letters, but in neither have I stated any particular sum. They are of May 1786, and only say generally that in a conversation with the C te de Vergennes on the subject he said that a treaty with the Porte would cost us a great deal of money, as great presents are expected at that court and a great many claim them; and that we should not buy a peace one penny the cheaper at Algiers: that the Algerines did indeed acknowledge a certain dependance on the Porte, and availed themselves of it whenever any thing was to be gained by it, but disregarded it when it subjected them to any demand: and that at Algiers there were but two agents, money and fear. This is the statement in those letters, and my memory does not enable me to fix any particular sum as having been named by him; but only generally that it was very far beyond any thing then at our command. All who were members of Congress in 1786. may be supposed to remember this information, and if it could be understood to come to you through some such channel, it would save the public from reading all the blackguardism which would be vented on me were. I quoted not that this would weigh an atom with me, on any occasion where my avowal of either facts or opinion would be of public use; but whenever it will not, I then think it useful to keep myself out of the way of calumny.
On the other point I can be more certain. Georgia, N. Carolina Tennessee Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania chose their electors by the people directly. In Massachusetts the choice is, first by the people in districts. But if a candidate has not a majority of all the qualified voters of the district, it devolves on the legislature to appoint the elector for that district, besides, as they have but 14. districts (laid off for some state purpose) and are entitled to 16. electors, the legislature name the two extra ones in the first instance. Again if any of those elected either by the people or legislature die, or decline to act, the residue of the electors fill up the vacancies themselves. In this way this people in Massachus. chose 7. electors on the last occasion, and the legislature 9. New Hamp. Rho. Ild. Connec. Vermont, New-York Jersey, Delaware and South Carolina, the legislature name electors. My information is good to all these particulars except N. Hampshire and Connecticut. and as to them I think I am right; but speaking only from memory it should be further ascertained before asserted. I THANK YOU FOR THE PROOF SHEETS YOU INCLOSED ME. SUCH PAPERS CANNOT FAIL TO PRODUCE THE BEST EFFECT. They inform the thinking part of the nation; and these again, supported by the taxgatherers as their vouchers, set the people to rights. You will know from whom this comes without a signature: the omission of which has been rendered almost habitual with me by the curiosity of the past offices. Indeed a period is now approaching during which I shall discontinue writing letters as much as possible, knowing that every snare will be used to get hold of what may be perverted in the eyes of the public. Adieu.
The original copies of the above letters may be seen at the Office of the Virginia Gazette, Richmond.

Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, dated Aug. 19, 1802,
"There have been some new duties laid on West India produce, and the extraordinary impositions on the articles brought in foreign bottoms, is almost equal to a prohibition, for internal consumption."

except from what is imported by our own flag [French] but is permitted to export goods brought in foreign vessels, to any period within one year, without paying duties, that is, in this case, they shall be exempt from all duties. American flour is rather dull sale at 30 livres per barrel. Religion having become the order of the day in France, and it being quite fashionable for all classes to conform to the rules of the church, we presume for these reasons that fish will be an excellent article through the winter."

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9.
A letter has been received from the consul of the United States for the kingdom of Morocco, dated July 27th, stating, that in consequence of the overtures which had been made to him on the part of the emperor of Morocco, and of the contents of dispatches received by him from the government of the United States by the frigate Adams, which was but lately arrived at Gibraltar, he had returned to his post at Tangiers; and that he was about commencing a negotiation for the termination of hostilities between Morocco and this country. But he expresses no opinion as to what may be the result.

"Washington & Jefferson Republicans" The Democrats at the eastward have lately had the matchless effrontery, to connect the names of Washington and Jefferson together, as having been united in the same system of politics. A late democratic Vermont paper speaking of the party, dare to call themselves the Washington and Jefferson Republicans . It is to be hoped that the Federal editors will not suffer this attempt of our adversaries to proceed without suitable notice and animadversion. We all remember with what slyness they appropriated to themselves the appellation of Republicans , and how valuable it has been to them; it seems, that for some reason or other they are sick of it, or find it will no longer serve a turn, and therefore they would now endeavor by thus mixing their own base alloy with the current gold of Washington's name, cheat the world and pass them off together. But the trick is easily to be detected: and we shall make it our business to watch every attempt of the kind, and give timely warning of the vile imposture. The first instance we perceived last week in the National Agis , and we soon found means to expose the deception by the publication of Washington's own letters. We shall now take a method equally as effectual with this second attempt, by publishing Jefferson's letter to Mazzei. This is perhaps not amiss in another point of view, as we fear its particular contents are even now almost forgotten by a great portion of the public.
LETTER.
"Our political situation is prodigiously changed since you left us—instead of that noble love of liberty, and that republican government which carried us triumphantly through the dangers of the war, an anglo-monarchical aristocratic party has arisen. Their avowed object is to impose on us the substance , as they have already given us the form of the British government; nevertheless, the principal body of our citizens remain faithful to republican principles. All our proprietors of lands are friendly to those principles, as are also the mass of men of talents—we have against us the EXECUTIVE power, all the officers of government, all who are seeking offices, and all timid men who prefer
the calm of despotism, to the tempestuous sea of Liberty; the British merchants, and Americans who trade on British capitals: the speculators; persons interested in the bank and public funds.
"I should give you a fever if I should name the apostates who have embraced those heresies—men who were Solomons in council and Sampsons in combat, but whose hair has been cut off by the whore, England."
"They would wrest from us that liberty which we have obtained by so much labor and peril, but we shall preserve it. Our mass of weight and riches is so powerful, that we have nothing to fear from any attempt against us by force—it is sufficient that we break the Lilliputian ties by which they have bound us, in the first slumbers which succeeded our labors; it suffices that we arrest the progress of that system of ingratitude and injustice towards France, from whom they would alienate us to bring vs under British influence."
No comment will be necessary, further than to observe, that when this letter was written the " Executive power " here spoken of was in the hands of WASHINGTON—WASHINGTON was one of those here intended by the Solomons in council and Sampsons in combat —WASHINGTON, the good, the great, the illustrious, the beloved WASHINGTON was the man here openly accused of treachery and corruption! And now the partizans of him who wrote this very letter have the brazen hardihood to call themselves the " Washington Republicans "—Base hypocrites! Mean and disgraceful cunning! Wretched and cowardly subterfuge!

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Liverpool, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated August 6.
"A meeting has been held of the committee of American merchants here, to consider of the Act of Parliament of 22d June, relating to the importation of foreign produce in neutral vessels. We sent you a copy of the Act on the 10th ult.—the following is their opinion of its meaning as affects Cotton, Indigo, and Cochineal, viz.
That Indigo and Cochineal may be imported from the United States of America as heretofore, in British, American, or other neutral vessels.
That Cotton the growth of the United States of America , may be imported as heretofore, in British and American vessels.
That Cotton of any growth may be imported from the United States of America, as heretofore in British vessels.
That Cotton not the growth of the United States of America , can only be imported for exportation , coming in American, or other neutral vessels.
You will infer from this, that it is not advisable at present to ship any cotton not the growth of the United States of America , in any other than a British vessel.
In the mean time it is proposed by the American merchants to take such steps as may have a tendency to place American vessels on the same footing with British vessels, but in this nothing decisive can be done before the meeting of Parliament, which will take place sometime in September."
EXTRACTS
Of Letters from an American Gentleman in England, to his Friend in Philadelphia.
LONDON, July 30.
On the 15th I went to Hyde Park to see a review of the first regiment of horse guards by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York. I got a stand close by them for near an hour, which gave me a good opportunity of deciphering their faces by Lavater's rules, and of observing minutely their persons. The prince of Wales is very fat, and has a good tempered open countenance, with a manly soldierlike appearance. The Duke of York did not possess me very favorably. The prince was very attentive to the ladies, and discovered great ease and affability towards all with whom he conversed; but their appears more of good-nature and grace about him than talent or observation. The manœuvres exhibited in the exercise of the review, were performed with great precision and effect.
On the following day I went to view the school instituted for the relief of intelligent blind children. It consists of 20 girls and 10 boys. They are admitted at six years old. The girls are taught
to spin flax, to reel and wind their thread fit for the loom, and for shoemakers, and to make sash line. I was shown some linen which was made from their spinning, which was very even and fair. It was a spectacle equally interesting and pleasing to behold them sitting round the room, with their reels and wheels, proceeding in their work with the same facility as if they possessed their sight. Their dress is uniform and neat, and their bed-room in the nicest order. The boys are taught basket-making and work with great expedition. As soon as they arrive to a certain proficiency in their respective employment, they are returned to their friends. Some of them earn from 9 to 18s a week. Thus are those pitiable objects, instead of being thrown as a burthen on the community, reared up to industrious habits, which even amidst their dreary privations impart an independence to their minds, and console them with the most cheering and animated reflections. The funds of the institution are supported by voluntary annual subscriptions.
On the 17th I visited the boys' blue coat school. Here are 600 fine boys, from six to fourteen years of age, all dressed in blue cloth and yellow stockings. This is an inestimable charity, and has already produced many bright and useful members of society.
(To be continued.)
The following explanatory notes on a late act of the British parliament, are extracted from a letter from a gentleman in Liverpool to his correspondent in Philadelphia.
Liverpool August 14.
As the act is not sufficiently explicit, we have taken considerable pains to gain information upon the subject, and submit to you the following remarks, viz.
That after the 1st of September, 1802, Cotton, which is not the growth of the United States, cannot be imported for home use from thence in American or other foreign vessels, but may in British.
The produce of the United States can only be imported from thence in British vessels, or in American vessels navigated according to law, that is, the vessel must be United States built—be regularly registered (a sea letter will not do) have the master and three fourths of the crew at least American. We crave particular attention to this point; and recommend, to prevent detention here, that none but natives of the United States be admitted, for each man is separately examined upon oath at our Custom house; and is not acknowledged here as a citizen of the United States, even though he is naturalized and has a protection, unless he was so at the time the Independence was acknowledged by this country and as been in the service ever since.
This act will not affect sugar, coffee, cocoa, ginger, pimento or logwood, as they have always been warehoused for exportation, which is still allowed by this act till 1st of Jan. 1804.
Hides, fustic, Nicaragua wood, barwood, mahogany and such articles as have been sold for home use, will, under this act, be alone allowed to be warehoused for exportation.
Cochineal and indigo may be imported for home consumption, in either American or British vessels.
Flour and grain may also be admitted in any vessel from any place, free of duty, till the 1st of January, 1803, unless the crops of this season should make a different policy necessary.

One tract containing 2,481 acres lying in the counties of Loudoun and Fauquier, called Attoy's Bent. The soil is that which is said to be most favorable to plaster of Paris, well watered by several never failing streams issuing from the mountain—part of this land is cleared and tenanted for lives.
One tract lying part in each of the above counties, containing 885 acres. Chatten's run passes through this tract and gives several valuable mill seats. The soil is similar to the above tract and equally favorable to plaster of Paris.
A tract on the South Fork of Bullskin, containing 1600 acres—One at to, Head of Evans's Mill, containing 453 acres, and one on Wormley's line, containing 183 acres.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING AN AMERICAN EDITION OF BLACKSTONE'S COMMENTARIES With Notes of Reference to the CONSTITUTION and LAWS of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA: With an appendix to each volume, containing tracts upon such subjects as appeared necessary to form a systematic view of the laws of Virginia as a member of the federal union.
BY ST. GEORGE TUCKER, Professor of law in the College of William and Mary, and one of the Judges of the General Court, in Virginia.
THE PROPOSED EDITION WILL CONTAIN
 I. An Introduction, or Preface.  II. NOTES on such parts of the Commentaries as treat on subjects which relate to correlative powers, delegated by the constitution and laws of the federal government, or of the state of Virginia; shewing in what instances the principles of the British constitution, the maxims of that government, the general customs, or common law of England, acts of the British parliament, and particular customs, or prescriptions, have been adopted or confirmed; altered or amended; or wholly changed and repealed, by local circumstances, political considerations, or the express provisions contained in our constitution and statute law.  III. To each volume of the Commentaries, there will be an appendix; into which will be introduced notes of a more considerable length, which cannot conveniently be inserted in the body of the work, and short tracts upon some subjects arising out of our own constitution and laws.  IV. THE appendix to the first volume will contain, 1. A discourse on government; 2. An inquiry into the obligation and authority of the common law and statutes of England, in the United States respectively; and whether the same be the law of the federal government of the United States or not. 3. A view of the written law of the commonwealth of Virginia as partaking of the constitution and laws of the federal government, and treaties made thereby; as well as of its own particular constitution, and acts of its legislature; together with such acts of the parliament of Great Britain, as may be still supposed to have any force or obligation therein. 4. A view of the constitution of the United States; its relation and connection with the state constitutions; a brief examination of their respective powers; a short parallel between it and that of Great Britain; an examination of some of its defects; and a view of the amendments thereto proposed by the several state conventions; and of such as may still be proper to be taken into further consideration. 5. A short view of the constitution of Virginia; an examination of some of Mr. Jefferson's positions respecting it; some hints with regard to an amendment of it, &c. 6. Observations on the right of conscience and the freedom of the press, in the United States of America. 7. A view of the origin, progress, and present state of slavery in Virginia, with a plan for its gradual abolition. 8. View of the laws respecting glebes and churches in Virginia.  V. THE appendix to the second volume will contain a short abstract of the land laws in Virginia, with a reference to such as are not to be found in any general code. 2. A discourse on the law of descents in Virginia. 3. An engraved copyplate table of descents according thereto. 4. A table shewing the manner in which estates in parcenary shall be divided pursuant thereto. 5. A view of the laws respecting escheats and forfeitures, passed during the revolutionary war, and of the rights of foreigners to hold lands in Virginia. 6. A view of the laws respecting slaves as property. 7. A discourse on the subject of the laws restraining usury.  VI. THE appendix to the third volume will contain a short view of the courts of the United States, and of the commonwealth of Virginia, with an abstract of the laws by which the practice therein is regulated: strictures on the trial by jury 
in Virginia under the existing laws, and plan for their amendment.
VII. THE appendix to the fourth volume will contain an abstract of the original jurisdiction of the federal government, and of the commonwealth of Virginia: and a short discourse on treaties.
VIII. THE tracts mentioned in the fourth section—together with the Editor's preface and the Commentator's introduction, being all attached to the first volume of Blackstone; will in this edition, be divided into two parts—the preface and introductions; and the five tracts first mentioned in the fourth section, will be attached to the first part, and the other three tracts mentioned in the same section, will make the appendix to the second part.
THE notes dispersed thro'out the work will amount to 14 or fifteen hundred. Those which refer to the constitution and laws of the United States are very numerous.
CONDITIONS.
 I. That the work be printed with a new type on superfine paper, and in five very large octavo volumes; and be bound in neat lawn binding.  II. That it shall go to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers shall be obtained to make it prudent—and from the time of going to press be published in one year.  III. That the price of the whole, complete and bound, shall be twenty dollars, payable on delivery. 
ADDRESS BY THE PUBLISHERS. IT is presumed, a little consideration will make it obvious, that a work so extensive, and which will employ a large capital, cannot be put to press until a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to make it prudent:—The Publishers do not recollect that any book of the same amount, has been printed in the United States, without either a part of the purchase money being required in advance, or returns made as it proceeded, by delivering the volumes as they were printed—In the present case, the whole work will be finished and completely bound before any payment is made.
It is earnestly requested, that the gentlemen who intend subscribing, will forward their names, as soon as possible, either by letter (post paid) to the Publishers in Philadelphia, or through the medium of book sellers in the neighboring towns. The post masters will also be furnished with a subscription paper, and it is presumed they will forward any names that may offer; as a remuneration, and to induce gentlemen to give it a little attention, whoever procures nine subscribers shall be entitled to a tenth copy, but it is to be explicitly understood, that the person who receives a copy for procuring subscribers, must be answerable for the payment of all the gentlemen who sign his list. The Publishers demand nothing but on delivery of the books, complete; therefore, determined not to leave a single set, without at that time, receiving payment for it.
Gentlemen who forward names to the Publishers, are requested to mention where the books are to be sent, and if possible, to make the place of delivery some considerable and well known town. Subscription papers will be found in the hands of Mr. Prichard and Mr. S. Pleasants, in Richmond; Messrs. Ross and Douglass, Peterburgh; Mr. E. Merick, Norfolk; Mr. R. Greenhow, Williamsburgh; Mr. Henderson, Fredericksburg; Mr. S. Bishop, Alexandria; Mr. J. Alburttis, Martinburgh; Mr. Bowen, Winchester; Mr. J. Gates, Raleigh, N. Carolina; Messrs. Baily and Waller, Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. J. Marsh, Georgetown, Potomac; Messrs. Rapin & Co. Washington City; Messrs. G. Hill, and Conrad, & Co. Baltimore, &c. &c.
The Publishers have only to add, that they believe it will be found to be considerably the lowest priced law book, for a similar extent, and including a copy-right purchase, that has appeared for many years either in America or Europe.
