MADRAS, January, 1802.
The following letter to Major General Campbell, commanding the forces in the ceded districts, is published by authority of the Right Honorable the Governor in Council.
G. BUCHAN, Sec. to the Government.
To JOHN GHAMIER, Esq. Chief Secretary to Government. Fort St. George.
Sir,
I have great satisfaction in reporting for the information of the Right Honorable the Governor in Council, the following particulars relative to the operations against Tirnakull, which have happily terminated in the fall of the fort and chastisement of its rebel defenders.
Immediately after the affair of the 20th instant, I detached Major Strachan, captain, Noble, and Deputy commissary Best, to Gooty, to prepare such guns as the place afforded—On a minute inspection, only one iron twelve, one iron and one brass nine pounder were found fit for our purpose. By the strenuous exertions of the garrison, these guns were brought down from the rocks, and two hundred and fifty pounds of ammunition for each, with carriages, and the articles necessary to keep them in order, were got ready, and with this supply the Major and party arrived in camp, on the 26th. Facings and gabions had been made here; and in the night of the 29th, a battery for six guns against the N. W. curtain of the lower fort, was constructed by capt. Crosdill of artillery, and another for three guns against the east face of the fort and citadel, by Lieutenant Flichter of his Majesty's 73d Regiment. The guns were all got into them, and at a quarter past six o'clock yesterday morning, both opened with the best possible effect. In the course of the day, the fire of Lieut. Flichter's battery effected a practicable breach in the lower wall, and at the same time opened the face of the citadel: while that from Captain Crosdill's made a breach in the curtain sufficiently wide for a company to enter abreast. These desirable objects being attained, the line turned out half past three in the afternoon, and the storming parties were formed in the following order:
That for the N. W. breach under lieutenant col. Davis, seconded by major Strachan, consisted of the flank and two battalion companies of His Majesty's 73d regiment; one company 2d battalion 4th regiment, and four companies of the 1st battalion 4th regiment, native infantry, flanked by forty volunteer dismounted dragoons, of His Majesty's 25th regiment.
That for the eastern breach under capt. Robert Munroe, consisted of three battalion companies of his Majesty's 73d regiment, the flank companies of the 2d battalion 4th regiment, and two companies of the 2d battalion 15th regiment, native infantry.
At quarter before 4 o'clock the troops were ordered to advance, and in half an hour were completely masters of the place, the rebels having quitted the works, and retreated to their well built houses, where they for some time individually defended themselves—most of them were however killed, and of those who fled very few, if any, escaped the cavalry who surrounded the fort. To the honor of the troops I must beg leave to add, that every woman and child was humanely spared, only two of the former and one of the latter, having fallen from accidental shot.
The wound formerly received by lieut. col. Moneypenny, deprived me of his valuable services on the present occasion, but his place was most ably filled by lieutenant col. Davis, and though it is difficult to discriminate where all have behaved in a manner so honorable to themselves, with such perfect unanimity, and so much to my entire satisfaction, I yet feel it my duty to point out to his lordship's notice, lieut. col. Moneypenny, lieut. col. Davis, major Strachan, capt. Robert Munroe, captain Crosdill, capt. Noble and lieut. Flichter, as officers, whose zeal and ability have shone conspicuous throughout, and to whose exertions I am particularly indebted.
Much praise is due to my aid de camp, captain Read, whose zeal and activity during our various operations against the place, was unremitted. Nor can I pass over in silence the meritorious conduct of Lieutenant Maclean of his majesty's 25th light dragoons, who on the several attacks of the 14th, 20th and 30th instant, slept voluntarily forward to accompany major Strachan.
The conduct of Mr. Deputy Commissary Best, has also been much to my satisfaction. It gives me the most heartfelt satisfaction to add, that not a life has been lost on this occasion, and the accompanying returned of the wounded to contain but very few. The officers and most of the men formerly wounded, are doing well.
A minute examination of the fort, and the knowledge since obtained, enables me to add, that the attack made by Major Strachan on the 14th instant, was by no means more spirited than judicious for determined resistance must long ere that, have been the fixed intention of the rebels; and in the most permanent manner, a circumstance, which from the information received, the major had no reason to expect.
The Potail or Kiledar of Tirnakull, has been hanged; but the women, children, and such of the wounded rebels, as were collected after the assault of yesterday, have been permitted to depart.
It is my intention to destroy the whole of the fort, and I feel confident that this example will effectually restore the tranquillity of the Adoni province.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant, DUGALD CAMPBELL, M. G.
Camp at Tirnakull.]
PETER FORCUPINE
Continues to rail against the peace with as much vehemence as ever. His vexation thus finds expression in the following paper.
From Cobbett's Weekly Political Register, of April 17.
SUMMARY OF POLITICS.
It will be seen by our Parliamentary Reports that the House of Lords have adjourned to Monday the 26th inst. and that the Commons have adjourned till Wednesday, the 21st. Of course the Definitive Treaty, though the ratification will probably arrive on Monday next, will not be discussed till after the 26th. On what day, and in what manner peace will be proclaimed we know not; but, in the mean time the heralds of folly and of baseness, are loudly proclaiming the propriety of a General Illumination . The papers, under the more immediate influence of the ministry, have been ever since the somnolent nights of the 29th and 30th of March, sedulously employed in fanning the expiring embers of enthusiasm. They have affected to believe, that the illuminations of those nights were premature , though it is well known that all the public offices were illuminated, and that hundreds of pounds of the public money were expended to render the appearance of approbation as general as possible. The reluctance with which the people lighted their houses then, however, has increased the vigilance of those, who, for reasons too obvious to mention, wished to see them lighted. There is no art, no trick, however low and scandalous, to which they have not had recourse, for the purpose of providing against a repetition of their former disappointment. The public has been daily told, that there will be no general illumination till peace is proclaimed; the people have been desired to wait with patience for that event; and the Mayor of London has been induced to issue an advertisement, in which, from what authority may easily be guessed he recommends, that there shall be only one GENERAL ILLUMINATION . From all this, who would not imagine that the people were on tiptoe for the approaching tete? When the truth is, they want the spur rather than the bridle; and if the government will promise, to protect the housekeepers from the brutality of the senseless and houseless mob, we will engage that London shall be, on the night of the proclamation, as gloomy as the event which that proclamation will announce.
The general feeling produced by the treaty of Amiens may be described by any word better than that of joy . The misguided rabble, who know nothing of either peace or war but the mere name, may, perhaps, be pleased; but their opinions are so wavering, that they cannot be truly said to have any at all. The greedy man of money chuckles over the bags that have been swelled by the sudden rise in the funds; but his pleasure is ever and anon damped by the reflection, that both principal and interest may, ere long, be snatched from his grasp. A similar sentiment haunts the mind of the manufacturer. The merchant anticipates a large diminution in his points, and the ship owner fees
ruin in every stipulation, positive or tacit, of this ominous treaty. The nobility, the gentry, and the clergy, while they participate in the mortification and rage of the military and naval commanders, recollect, not without anxiety and dread, the fate of the nobility, the gentry, and the clergy of France; and the ministry themselves tremble for the consequences of an act, which the love of place and of power has led them to commit.
In our approbation of the new taxes (Register, p. 378), we made an exception with respect to the duty upon imports and exports . The policy of imposing such a duty appeared, at first glance, to be very doubtful. Subsequent reflection has convinced us, that the measure is of a most dangerous tendency, and, of course, highly impolitic. It will greatly augment the price of our manufactures; some of them, we should suppose, 15 per cent. It will call for an immediate advance from the exporter, which is always a great check to exportation, and though, Mr. Addington imagines, that it will have no such effect, because the carry duty had not , there will certainly be found persons to explain to him the difference in the cases. But, the more dangerous part of this measure is, the proposed heavy duty upon shipping, both in the coasting and foreign trade, which must inevitably tend to reduce our carrying trade, and to send our seamen into the service of other nations, a consequence that would arise soon enough out of the peace of Amiens, without the aid of any domestic discouragement.
The conclusion and ratification of the Concordat, between Buonaparte and the Pope, is an event on which we shall have an opportunity of remarking in a subsequent part of our work; at present we have not time to enter into so much detail as the subject necessarily demands. Some of the Paris papers have, notwithstanding the positive confirmation of the Republican Kalender, already adopted that of the Christian era, and we shall be much deceived if the former be not very soon abolished.
Much has lately been said about the affairs of Turkey; but, though we certainly regard that empire as being in a very critical state, we have, as yet, seen nothing to convince us, that there is any reason to apprehend its dissolution.
The accounts lately received from Saint Domingo, through Jamaica and the American States, are of a later date than what were before received by the way of France; but the French papers, received yesterday as will be seen by a recurrence to our Foreign Intelligence, contain news which comes down to the 6th of March. This news is conveyed in a telegraphic dispatch, which is, of course, very laconic. It is brought by Buonaparte's brother, and said to be good . If there were any reliance to be placed on the statements of the telegraphic dispatch, we should regard this news as a subject of lamentation; for, besides the general truth, that whatever is good for France is bad for us, we shall look to the subjugation of St. Domingo as a preliminary step to the total ruin of the West India colonies. It would appear, that there is a division of the French fleet on the way to Europe.
The famous republic of the Seven Isles appears to be in a state of complete confusion. The intelligence from that part of the world comes to us through channels so very doubtful, that there is seldom any reliance to be placed on it; but it appears pretty clear to us, that the republic of the Seven Islands will stand in need of the interference of some real power; and we have no doubt that France will have the goodness to take it under her immediate protection.
The people of the Valais still continue refractory to the commands of the Grand Nation. They must, however, finally submit: and, in our minds, there remains not the least doubt, that the projected union of a great part of Switzerland to France will not long remain unaccomplished.

QUIS? QUIS? WHO IS IT? WHO IS IT? THIS is the general and reiterated interrogation on the first appearance of anything new, either in town or country; and, although an inquisitive disposition is favorable to the acquisition of knowledge, yet such vehement inquiries commonly have their source in a foolish and mistaken impertinence, rather than a de-
fire of useful information, and indicate a frivolous, instead of a penetrating mind.
The moment a coach is seen coming into an obscure village, the honest peasants hurry along in crowds to peep over the walls, vociferating, Who is it? Who is it? —One whispers, "Isn't it the President? I always thought he'd come to see us republicans before he resigns."—Another says, "Yes, I'll warrant it." A third says, "Tis the President."—Each strives to get the most elevated stand, that his eyes may feel themselves full fat with the charming sight. On a sudden the carriage stops, and out comes an old clumsy rustic, a relation of their neighbour, known only for the riches he has acquired by his misere like parsimoniousness.—The poor peasants retire, execrating the old fellow's pageantry, and justly mortified at their own credulity.
A young lady in a flaunting dress is seen walking across the green—Somebody asks, Who is it? and is answered, by a wag, that 'tis the governor's sister, (or cousin at least.) Report flies; the maids rush into the front rooms, up go the windows; when behold! on a nearer view it is found to be no other than Farmer Thrifty's daughter in her best suit! "O la! exclaim those impertinents, with a contemptuous leer; and sing down the windows again in the utmost vexation.
A gentleman tells a number of ladies, that, by accident, a man was just now killed on the military parade. It shocks their feelings, and in consternation, they exclaim, "Heaven's mercy on us! dear sir, Who is it? " With an inhuman and ridiculous smile on his countenance, he replies, "dismiss your anxiety, for I had not told you its nobody but a soldier! " As if humanity had not suffered, and we must not feel his fate, because the unfortunate man did not wear an epaulette, or a cock'd hat!
When an original piece appears in the Gazette, Who is it? is immediately bandied from one to another. "Phaw!" says a grave by-flander, no matter who it is; read the piece, and not the writer. If you cannot read any essay without stopping at every sentence to demand the name of the author, you do no better than to confess you have no taste or judgment of your own, and cannot tell whether it either instructs, pleases or amuses you, because you do not know who wrote it; and when you have puzzled your brain with conjectures about the writer, they are very improbable and often the most ridiculous. "But," says one, "I will find out the author; I suspect already; 'tis Squire Facias—don't you see how he hurls in the law latin; and, then, 'tis just like him." "O, here I have it" says another; "'tis my neighbor's son Ichabod, who is gone to college; he writes by the post, yes 'tis plain, here is a quotation from Virgil; he's a genius in their larn'd lingos ." A third says, "now I've got a clue at the writer; 'tis our SCHOOLMASTER at the new district; don't you observe how he talks about philosophy and metaphysic; ah! he's an ingenious creature; he can cypher beyond account!" An old woman gets on her spectacles, and strains her eyes almost through them; she soon discovers the author; Good lack! Why 'tis my son Tim. He went to the Academy a year ago; and the Inceptor told me he could write purely, and in the most high flown style, too, that ever he heard; he could hardly understand what he wrote, 'twas so sublime. Last fall Tim went to Boston, and has turn'd author I suppose. La me! how proud I feel to be the mother of such a son, he'll be a perfect Bunyan in time, I verily believe." This goes current in the neighborhood, and Tim bears all the censure or applause; when the poor boy although he might do well enough for a writer in a merchants shop, is ignorant even of the first elements of composition, and cannot distinguish a figure in rhetoric from a mousetrap. The other conjectures are no less ludicrous; for although the squire, by the help of his book forms, can make out a deed or a bond; the student a true fable in Aesop—and the pedagogue solve a problem in square root; yet they know nothing of the trade and "mastery of authorship;" and can much less turn their time into money, or their pupils into blockheads, than the idea (if they have any) into elegant sciences.
This propensity expends many to ridicule and some to error. We met an awkward fellow the other day in the street inquiring for the way from the

old College to the bridge, expecting to find our sign board. And not long since, a young man saluted one of les gens de lettres with the assumed title of a writer in the newspaper, on which he was severely censured for dubbing a gentleman the author of such a miserable performance.
The weakness of such inquisitives is apparent, when we observe how soon their awakened curiosity subsides on hearing that a person wears a different name; and that they ought to rejoice that they cannot always know from whom or whence a thing comes; for if it be known, the quantum of merit is generally determined by the reputation of the author or projector. Whereas, those unacquainted with persons or places, and void of partiality, may hereafter censure what they applaud, and approve what they condemn.
When we read any work, if we find any thing which interests us, we can relish it as well as if we knew its author; but, should we find nothing worthy of notice, we surely cannot desire to know any thing further concerning it. Should we not therefore, do much better to change the common inquiry, and instead of asking who it is, inquire what it is? But in these days of reformation and favoritism, applause is obtained like appointments to office; and

Alexandria Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25.
JEFFERSON & CALLENDER. The citizen having, with more than customary candor, admitted that it what Callender wrote and for which he was paid, was false, it would establish the criminality of Mr. Jefferson, and it being proved from Mr. Jefferson's own confessions that the work does contain the most atrocious falsehoods, it results from the Citizen's own admission that the guilt of Mr. Jefferson is established. But this is not all; the extracts from his own speeches, as published in our his own will fix upon the character of number, Magistrate, the indelible stains of infamy, simulation and hypocrisy.
Will any one pretend to believe or say, that the sentiments expressed by Callender, are not to be imputed to Mr. Jefferson? It has been shown, that he perused the proof sheets of at least the first volume, if not of the second; that he approved of their contents in a complimentary letter, and actually paid money as a reward to the writer: It follows conclusively, that he stamped with his sanction every part of what Callender had written; that he yielded to it his full and entire approbation. Having thus adopted the language & sentiments of the "Prospect," is it not virtually the same thing as if he had written the books himself? They are unquestionably under such circumstances as equally expressive of his opinions as if he had penned them. This indeed is plainly admitted by his other defender, the editor of the Essex who says "the sentiments which it (the Prospect) contains are said to be hostile to the late administration; this will not be denied. Is it to be supposed that the sentiments would be less acceptable to him (Mr. Jefferson) because they accorded with his own?"
One of the executive advocates having thus conceded the point, we behold before us the First Magistrate of our country, at once, covertly and insidiously publishing to the world, that our constitution was forced upon us without our free assent; that the longer we examine it, the harder it will be to prove what we have gained by it; that every Virginian valuing his freedom, should accustom himself to the use of fire-arms, to be prepared for the worst that might happen; thereby inculcating on terms not to be misunderstood, the holy right of insurrection—the destruction of the constitution, and the severing of the Union: And we have heard the same man, under the solemnity of an oath, declare his zealous attachment to that very constitution, and that he considers "the union of these states the first of blessings, and the preservation of the Constitution the first of duties." At one time he speaks of the administrations of WASHINGTON and ADAMS as the administrations of MONARCHS, and that nothing "under the old confederation could have been so wretchedly conducted," that "war and beggary" marked that of the latter: Yet, no sooner was he placed at the head of affairs, than he unblushingly confessed, that he had found the "Government in the full tide of successful experiment," that its administration had, so far, kept us "free and firm;" that the principles on which it had been conducted, formed "the bright constellation" that had gone before him. At one time he sneeringly calls General WASHINGTON "the Grand Lama of federal adoration," accuses him of approving of the "blackest measures;" of commencing a scene of infamy" which his successor completed; of being guilty of "scandalous hypocrisy;" and at length reproaches him with a "violation of his oath," proclaims him PERJURED; a ROBBER and a TRAITOR—the author of the "ruin and robbery of his own army"—Is there an American whose veins do not swell with indignation at this accumulated slander? who does not from his soul abhor the base spirit which could sink so low in calumny, to gain "a little brief authority?"—Yet, no sooner did our worthy President reach the upmost round of ambition's ladder , than with all due humility, with white up turned eyes , and folded hands, he disclaimed with becoming meekness of spirit, "even all pretensions to that high confidence which had been justly reposed in our first and greatest revolutionary character, whose pre-eminent services entitled him to the FIRST PLACE in his country's love, and destined for him the FAIREST PAGE in faithful history." No sooner were the remains of our illustrious father consigned to the tomb than he, who had strived to blast his fame while living, who dared not for years before his death to meet the reproach of his eye, visited with profane and unhallowed steps, his sacred urn—all faint without, all fiend within—and with sighs and tears and all the solemn mockery of woe, affected a display of grief at his loss.*
—After the lapse of a few months, we find him declaring, by the organ of his sentiments, that "it was necessary, in order to save appearances with the multitude, to present a profession of sorrow," and that "the Republicans were extremely satisfied with the demise of the General." At one time he calls Mr. Adams a "hoary headed incendiary"—an object of horror"—the "scourge," the "scorn," the "outcast of America"—the most egregious of fools;" the most execrable of scoundrels"—"a person without abilities and without virtue;" "incapable of attracting either tenderness or esteem." And yet on another occasion he boasts of a cordial and uninterrupted friendship with this very man declares him to be an "eminent character whose TALENTS and INTEGRITY" he had "known and revered thro' long series of years." From such a picture of depravity and duplicity the heart of sensibility and virtue recoils with tickening disgust. Still it is necessary steadily to view and examine it, for it is not the sketch of Fancy, but drawn in colours faithful to truth and nature. It presents the portrait of one whom temporary delusion has unworthily exalted to the first place in our government; whose fondness for retirement has been mere pretence whose purity of life and conduct has impudently been held up as a model; and whose moral and political character has been boldly pronounced by his admirers, the "standard of human excellence." Every dispassionate man, every man of candor, every man who values truth, who has not entirely yielded up his judgment to the controul of party zeal, and sealed himself against conviction, is earnestly solicited to reflect on the charges here exhibited against Mr. Jefferson, and the evidence on which they are founded—the former will be admitted by every one to be serious; and the manner in which they are supported we think must entitle them to credit.
But the president's champions, sensible of the odium which must attach to him who corrupts public opinion for the purposes of private ambition, who rewards the publication of calumny to promote his own aggrandizement, have, in their agonizing attempts to repel the imputation withered into a thousand contortions and assumed all the forms of Proteus. At first they denied the fact—then they doubted; next neither acknowledged nor denied, nor admitted it; then again without admitting it they said it deserved applause for it was only encouraging "virtuous opposition to an iniquitous government," and lastly, they contradict all they had said before, and insist that it was a "mere act of humanity to save a half famished wretch from starving."
A precious sample of humanity truly! our president must really be overflowing with the milk of human kindness, drowning wet with it, perfectly drenched; I wonder how many hundred dollars he ever before bestowed upon "half famished filthy wretches"! But do not these able editors perceive and feel how this, like every other of their awkward attempts to shield, only serves to expose more fully, the deformity of the object?—taking their own account of the matter then as correct, was it not—tell me ye champions of virtue, was it not
ing Callender for the identical service writing the "Prospect before us." After assailing the constitution—after slandering both administrations of the government—after heaping abuse upon many of the best and ablest men in our country—after butchering the characters of Washington and Adams, behold the perpetrator of these deeds at Monticello's gates! he makes known his achievements to its munificent owner, who instead of frowning him to the earth for his baseness, smiles at the relation, gladdens into joy and pays the laborer his hire. If this be humanity, it is the humanity of a parricide—and yet, such is the humanity ascribed, by his friends, to Mr. Jefferson.
The indignation of every reader will be routed at whatever part of the transaction he looks but, other feelings will also mix with his resentment when he contemplates the treatment bestowed on our revered and beloved Washington; on him who

haste and poor, unworthy of a man," To take advantage of a famish'd wretch and bribe him of his conscience? Hire him to sell and traffic slander on good men's heads, To stain their honor, blast their virtue? Left, however any one should imagine him to be so prodigal of his bounty, be it known, that it is far otherwise; that unless self-interest warms the palm, his charity is administered with but a frozen hand. The humanity indeed of such a gift may well be doubted, if the description given of Callender by Mr. Jefferson's apologists be correct: "a profligate, licentious, unprincipled being, made up of vice and filth," is not entitled to such liberal succour: perhaps it is a duty to keep even such a creature from starving when accident has thrown him at one's door; but to present him with a sum so large as to carry on the face of it reward instead of relief, indicates the extreme of weakness, and wickedness. It is in fact, encouraging crimes, and effectually enabling the offender to proceed in his guilty course. But in vain is it that they attempt to cover this unprincipled and disgraceful conduct with the mantle of charity; its real character is still discernable—its hideous form cannot be concealed from our view: We plainly see Mr. Jefferson pay-
*During the last summer it was thought necessary to Mr. Jefferson's popularity, that his fame should be mingled with Washington's. Accordingly to show his profound veneration for the principles and character of Washington, he repaired to Mount Vernon, visited his tomb, where he folded his arms, and assumed the attitude of silent and expressive admiration. This was rendered by Mrs. Washington and friends, "a most touching scene."—Ballad.

COTTON PLANTATIONS, On the Sea Coast of Virginia.
THE subscriber wishing very much to see an establishment of this kind introduced into our state; and being convinced that should the same succeed, a considerable source of industry and wealth would arise therefrom: offers to the consideration of any person or persons the following circumstances:
It has been the opinion of Southern gentlemen with whom the subscriber has conversed on this subject, that there could be no doubt of the success of such an undertaking, if properly conducted, and that at any rate it was worth the experiment. To an enterprising character, a field is here opened, by which, should success attend, a vast source of wealth may accrue. The more southern parts of this continent have experienced the benefits arising from the culture of cotton in the most eminent degree. When we consider how small a portion of our state from climate and situation is capable of being converted into improvements of this kind, and that should this small part which can alone possess the advantage become successful in the experiment, the result must be obvious to all.
Smith's Island lies in the Atlantic Ocean, immediately off Cape Charles, is about 37 degrees 15 m. of latitude, and contains about 4000 acres, a considerable part cleared.
The Island of Mocon lies immediately adjacent, and contains about 2000 acres, the most part cleared.
The soil on Smith's Island is finely productive, the climate so mild as to vegetate at all times, and support a great flock without any other food than the natural grass.
With respect to Smith's Island, some restrictions would be made concerning the stock, game, &c. the other would be let unconditionally. The advantages arising from fisheries at these places might be made very considerable. Salt works were formerly carried on likewise, but whether an object at this time, must be determined by those best acquainted.
Proposals may be addressed to me in Alexandria, to the care of Washington Cratt, Esq. and shall be attended to.—Having a considerable quantity of the Georgia Sea Island or Black Seed Cotton in my possession, any person who might incline to make the experiment may be accommodated with the same—it was imported direct from the southward.
I cannot close my observations respecting this property, without remarking that it has long been subject to the depredations of evil-minded persons. It has always been the desire, intention and orders of the subscriber, that the shipwrecked sailor receive on Smith's Island, every protection, comfort and assistance it is capable of affording; but the same disposition which will alleviate the distresses of the unfortunate, will punish the vices of the wicked.

NOTICE.
A meeting of the subscribers to the Little River Road Company, is called at the house of Mr. McCabe in Leesburg, on the fourth Wednesday in September next, being the 22d of the month, in pursuance of the second section of the law, requiring that the commissioners or any four of them, shall as soon as two hundred shares are subscribed, call a meeting of the subscribers for the purpose of electing by a majority of votes, delivered in person or by proxy, one President, four Directors, one Treasurer and such other officers, as they shall think necessary for well ordering and conducting the affairs of the said company.
