The following communication from Edmund Pendleton Esq. president of the court of appeals, will no doubt attract the particular attention of our readers. It will afford pleasure and instruction to every friend of the constitution; and, of the present administration. It will be perused with particular interest by the gentlemen of the law. This venerable patriot, who, like Nestor, has seen almost three generations rise and pass away before him, still possesses the same depth of reasoning, accuracy of thought and precision of expression, which belonged to the prime mover and author of the instructions to the Virginia delegation in Congress, to declare the then American colonies FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES .
For the Examiner.

Mr. Jones,
The following observations were written for my own use during the long and arduous debate in Congress, on the subject to which they relate; some friends have lately requested me to publish them, which I have consented to, not from a vain idea of affording any new light on a subject so ably and extensively discussed in Congress; but because they tend to draw the scene closer, and bring the question more to a point. They are at your service, if you think them worthy of a place in your paper.
Your obedient servant,
EDM. PENDLETON.
The expediency of the repealing acts seems unquestionable, since justice having been fully administered under the original system, and additional judges unnecessary, the community had a right to be eased of the expense of sixteen new judges, which the law, about to be repealed, had introduced. As to the inconvenience to the judges of the supreme court, in their being obliged to travel—all in office were appointed when this was a legal duty, and accepted the office, no doubt, from a conviction that the liberal salary was a full compensation for the whole service required. Of the expediency, Congress are the judges; nor can they be justly suspected of a malignant intention to attack the judiciary department; since this was only a part of a general system, adopted and pursued, to ease the people from the expense of all unnecessary offices. (a)
The question whether Congress can constitutionally repeal the act in question, is all important, since real democrats are warm friends to the Union, and to the constitution, (even as it is) the pillar of its support, and will yield the most favorite point rather than violate that instrument. I wonder indeed to discover from the debates, some gentlemen, warm advocates for the constitution, and pathetically lament its downfall from a fancied violation, who on former occasions had stretched it almost to its bursting to serve their purposes, and one of whom publicly bestowed on it the epithet of a rotten parchment , which the people of Virginia must be compelled at the point of the Bayonet, to give up. To those gentlemen it belongs to reconcile the inconsistency, or suspicions will arise that, with them, the constitution is a waste paper when interpolated to preserve the rights of the citizens, but a seven-fold shield to protect favorites in unfeigned offices .
Is this repeal unconstitutional?
That any legislative body can bind itself, from a power to change any of its acts, is a political fallacy; and I suppose it is conceded that although the constitution binds all its creatures, the agents of government, during its existence, it does not restrain the people who made it, from a change, or entire abolition of it; suppose them in convention to form a new constitution, in which a supreme court shall not be authorized, can it be imagined that the present judges must continue pensioners for life on the salaries given as a compensation for services which the community no longer require, or have occasion for. This applies directly to Congress and the inferior courts; since it is confessed to Congress to establish them or not, that body has the same power over them as the people have over the supreme court; experiments may be made in forming them, subject to be changed by the power which makes them, when discovered to be inconvenient or mischievous.
The words, "such inferior courts as Congress may from time to time ordain and establish," convey to the mind a strong impression that such a power was
(a) This is further evinced by the law passed afterwards, for accommodating the judges in their circuits.
meant to be given to Congress to ordain the courts changing them from time to time, as experience should suggest, before they were established.
But it is said that this will contravene the independence of the judges, which is by the constitution extended to the inferior as well as to those of the supreme court. Consider the ground of this independence; 'tis not for the sake of the judges, to give them a certain provision for life, but for the public good, that they may act impartially, and be under no bias in judgment from fear of being removed, or of having their salaries diminished, so long as the office is continued to which they are appointed, and they behave well in it; their state of independence therefore, is to stand or fall with their courts, provided the discontinuance of the office, be made by the power which created it; that is, the supreme court by a change in the constitution, and the inferior court, by a repeal of the law which created it.
Consider then the spirit of the federal government, a representative democracy , justly preferred to every other form, from its elective principles , enabling the people by a change of agents to correct or remove any oppression, or useless burdens, which error or corruption in former agents may have produced: But if this palladium of good government may be evaded by connecting judges with the institutions, it will follow that a party in power, finding that in future, that power is to be in other hands, and feeling resentment instead of affection for, and responsibility to their constituents, (b) may introduce not only two inferior courts in each state, but one in each county or parish, to injure the people and provide for an host of favorites—the judges may be immediately appointed, and according to this novel doctrine a subsequent Congress cannot touch the sacred mischief, or discontinue these expensive and useless courts, because it will take salaries from this host of judges, though merely sinecures, and they must be fixed pensioners for life.—Drones, to be supported from the labor of the industrious citizens; this idea surely cannot accord with the spirit of the constitution.
I am willing to admit it to be very improbable that the extreme case supposed will ever happen; but at the same time, think it is more so that the legislature will at any time discontinue a court, beneficial to the society, merely to remove the judges.
The memorial of the judges of Virginia, don't apply. The law complained of, imposed upon all the judges a new and laborious duty, without increase of salary; and also required chancery and admiralty judges to sit originally in criminal and common law trials. Upon the whole it seems to me, that either this extreme extension of judicial independence, or the valuable or rather invaluable elective principle of the government, must be sacrificed! Let wisdom decide between them.
(b) The elections for members of Congress in several states, are made in the summer, to take place in March following, so that there is always an intervening session, in which men may be, who are not re-elected which seems improper—it would appear to be best to have all the elections on one day, not before, but immediately after the 4th of March.

SWITZERLAND.
BERNE, Sept. 21.
At eight o'clock in the evening of the 18th, M. Watteville arrived here, wearing in his hat the red and black cockade. He waited immediately on M. Dolder, and the following convention was settled between them:
1. "A suspension of arms for 24 hours."
2. "In that space of time, that which assumes the name of the government shall, with all its troops, leave the city. The Bernese army shall furnish the necessary accommodations for the removal of the said government to Lausanne."
This convention was concluded, in consequence, of an obstinate action, fought with much bloodshed, immediately before the walls of Berne. The army, commanded by Messrs. Watteville, D'Erlach, and Esslinger, was composed of peasants, from Argovia, Soleure, Oberland, Petit Lac, Nidaw, and Arberg. Dolder's troops fired from the ramparts; and the peasants threw some cannon-balls into the town, which damaged nothing but the town-house. Mr. Esslinger was introduced to a parley, with his eyes under a bandage. No agreement could be effected, and the attack was renewed. After a severe and warmly sustained combat, at one of the gates, the usurpers proposed to capitulate. It is doubtful whether they may find a gracious reception at Lausanne. The whole Pays de Vaud is in commotion—the peasants are up in arms—but whether to support the revolutionary cause, we know not.
General Andermatt, abruptly recalled by the now exiled government, from Zurich, left to the townsmen his heavy artillery. He proceeds by forced marches towards Lausanne. But, he is pursued by Reding: he is between the army which has conquered at Berne, and that of the small cantons: and unless he be comprehended in the capitulation, his troops will be entirely dispersed.
M. de Watteville was, on the 29th, named commander in chief, and paid a visit to the French minister, Veynoux, who gave him a very obliging reception. The bear, and the colours of Berne, are already restored to their wonted places. Frisch has surrendered to the peasant army. Soleure likewise surrendered on the 17th. All Switzerland, except the Pays de Vaud, will soon enjoy the renovated authority of its ancient constitution. The two demi-brigades promised by Bonaparte are to come from Italy, and cannot arrive within less than fifteen days. In the mean time, all will be over. And, it is expected, that France will not, then, think its interpolation necessary.
The following is the plan of the constitution now in circulation:—
Art. I. The cantons shall each have a monthly time to form each its own government, adapted to its usages, its local situation, and its existing circumstances.
II. The Cantons being once constituted, shall each name its deputies, who shall receive the instructions of its constituents, and be furnished with necessary full powers—It. To assemble in a general diet, and to organise a central power. 2d. To make in the first instance the nominations for the central power.
III. The central government shall be charged with the management of external, political, and commercial relations, and with the organisation of a general military force. It shall have the guaranty of the cantonal constitutions. It shall decide the differences that may arise on the subject of these constitutions, as well as those that may arise between canton and canton. Sufficient sums shall be assigned to it for the ordinary expenses.
IV. Every deputy to the central government shall be indemnified by the canton by which he is appointed.
V. The new cantons which, like Thurgovia, have yet had no constitution, shall be at liberty either to chuse one for themselves or to unite with some of the other cantons.
VI. The cantonal government shall possess all the powers which have not been expressly delegated to the central government.
BERNE, Sept. 22.
In giving an account of the taking of this city, the numbers of the besiegers have been much exaggerated. The fact is, this grand affair was effected in two hours, with only two hundred and forty men. After the convention which followed the second bombardment of Zu-
rich, General Andermatt, with the 1200 men which remained with him, marched to Ergen, from which place an equal number of insurgents had marched for the relief of Zurich; but as they had taken a different route, they did not fall in with General Andermatt. That General, however, was stopped in his march near Arau, by a body of 500 men, under the command of M. May, who compelled him to sign a convention, by which he agreed to retreat to Berne, and not to interrupt the proceedings of the Bernese army. Twelve hundred men of that army marched to Soleure, and took possession of it on Friday, 18th September. On the next day 1000 men proceeded from Soleure to Berne. The advanced guard of this corps consisted of 240 men, and was commanded by M. Esslinger Mulliner. In his march he met M. Laharpe, who was reconnoitring with 300 men. The latter immediately prepared to defend himself, but at the same time offered an armistice of two hours. To this M. May consented, on condition that Laharpe should retire into Berne without leaving a guard upon the heights. M. Esslinger having passed Warblen, collected his force at Breitenfeld, which then amounted to 800 men; he advanced to attack the out-ports of Berne, in hopes of entering the city with the fugitives; but there were no out-ports. Being arrived upon the heights, he formed the resolution of going himself to the city, and summoning the Landamman to surrender, allowing only half an hour to deliberate upon the proposition, which was rejected.
At three o'clock the attack commenced. M. Esslinger chose 240 men who were the best armed, and ordered them to advance under the command of Messrs. Wagner, Kirchberger, Delohe, and Delverth. M. de Luttermann placed three pieces of cannon on a height which commands the town; M. Wagner conducted the riflemen by the way which leads down to the Erlenlade; and Messrs. Kirchberger and Delverth, with four peasants, volunteers, had the boldness to drag a small piece of cannon opposite the gate of the bridge, though exposed to a most dreadful fire. They exhausted all their ammunition without being able to succeed in destroying the beams of the draw-bridge, which they battered in vain with their small balls. M. Delverth received a wound, of which he died in the course of the night. They brought back the piece of cannon: at that moment a flag of truce came from the city, with proposals to capitulate. There were then 1100 men in the city, and General Andermatt was only six leagues off. The capitulation was agreed upon, and the city taken possession of.
Two State Papers have been circulated throughout the Cantons.
The first of these pieces is a letter from the Deputies of the five democratic Cantons of Uri, Schwytz, Unterwalden, Glarus, and Appenzel, to General Andermatt, the Commander in Chief of the Helvetic troops. It is dated Schwytz, Sept. 18, and is signed by M. Aloys Reding, who was the President of the Deputies. "The total dissolution of the Central Government of Berne (says he) authorises us, as well as every patriotic inhabitant of Switzerland, no longer to recognise a Government, springing originally from faction, and formed by the influence of a few individuals. All your obligations to obedience have ceased, and as you, as well as your troops, no longer belong to any legal Government, whatever opposition you make against the troops of the Democratic States, whatever hostilities you are guilty of against the inhabitants, villages, cities, or districts of Switzerland, will be considered as acts of personal hostility, and you and your officers will be personally responsible for the consequences, since we cannot longer consider you as troops paid by a government legally formed and recognised."
"On the other hand, it is in your power, and in the power of your officers and soldiers, quietly to return to your homes, and if you there conduct yourselves as orderly and peaceable citizens, a preference will be given to you at the period when a new legal central Government is formed by order of the respective Cantons.—You are charged to communicate our pleasure to your officers and soldiers, and to answer within three hours at farthest after receiving our letter, by a declaration whether, as Swiss attached to their country, you wish to put an end to civil war, or whether you are desirous of being considered as wandering banditti, who menace the repose, the liberty, and the safety of their fellow citizens?"
The conclusion of these letters assumes the form of a proclamation of the five de-
mocratical Cantons to the inhabitants of the other Cantons of Switzerland. It begins in these words:
"The Swiss name is for ever degraded by the most detestable of all crimes with which the soidisant Helvetic Government closed its career (the bombardment of the town of Zurich). We are fully resolved to rescue our country, and to break the chains which tyrants were preparing to impose upon it. We enter into your country and cantons, not as enemies, but as friends, animated by a laudable anxiety to establish an equal participation of rights and of liberty between the towns and the villages, and to second you by every means of our strength in order to secure to you a re-union between the towns and villages by means of a Central Government, emanating from the Cantons."
"To that effect we call upon you to send two delegates to Schwytz before the 24th of September, one of them representing the towns, the other the villages. You will at the same time also take care to establish in your Canton an adequate armed force in the following proportion:—for Zurich, 2000 men; for Berne, 3000; for Lucerne, 1200; for Friburg, 800; for Soleure, 1000; for Schaffhausen, 500; for Bale, 400; for the Grisons, 2000; for Bellinzona, 600; for Lugano, 600; for Tergovia, 500; for St. Gall, 1200; for Baden, 400; and for the democratic Cantons, 6000 men."
This address bears date Schwytz, Sept. 18, and is signed by the President, REDING.
THE HAGUE, Sept. 28.
The Prince of Nassau Orange has at length put himself into the possession of his indemnities; not, however, by the aid of the military, but by that of two deputies, Messrs. Von Platt and Roth; who, arriving at Weingarten, on the 18th, took possession of that Prelacy, as also of the county of Bumanegg, the manors of Brechtzel, Libenau, Hagenau, and other subordinate places.
BASLE, Sept. 25.
Citizen Aloys Reding, who may be considered as the author of the great changes which have been effected at Berne, shews himself as a Chief on our new political horizon. As President of the five Democratic States, Uri, Schwytz, Unterwalden, Glarus, and Appenzel, united in conference, he has invited all the Cantons of Switzerland, and the States depending on it, to send each on the 24th two Deputies, one for the town and another for the country, to form a general Diet which is to occupy itself in a new Constitution.
We are assured that the same Aloys Reding, who will now resume the post which he occupied before the Revolution of April 17th, has summoned the troops of Andermatt to return to their homes. The old Petty Council is already in activity; our town was not the last to shew itself—as soon as we heard of the bombardment of Zurich, we declared for the old order of things. The papers of the two Prefects have been sealed up. The bombardment of Zurich has been of great advantage to the Insurgents. Our political troubles have obliged a great many strangers of rank to leave us; among these is the Princess of Dessau, the Poet Matthison, and Mr. King, the American Envoy. More than fifty Englishmen quitted Berne in one day. Madame Verniac has remained in the town.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 26.
One very important question has been completely decided in the last Sittings of the Deputation of the Empire. Some time since, and chiefly in the Congress at Rastadt, the members of the Imperial Noblesse who had possession on the left Banks of the Rhine, addressed the most pressing remonstrance to the power interested in the changes which have taken place in Germany, in consequence of the plan of indemnification, respecting the desititution of their Feudal and Seigniorial Rights. These remonstrances were renewed to the Deputation of the Empire. That Assembly, after having considered the petitions of the Baron De Helmholtz, a proprietor in the ci devant Lorraine, have resolved that all those who have neither a vote nor a seat in the Germanic Diet, and who consequently do not form a part of the states of the Empire, are not justified in claiming any indemnities provided for by the Treaty of Luneville. The Deputation, however, agreed to recommend the individuals comprised in those schedules, to the generosity of the French Government, with a view that the sequestration may be taken off from such parts of their estates as have not yet been alienated. M. De Gemmingen, who has lately been legitimated at Ra-

thion, as Deputy from the whole corps of Imperial Noblesse, has, in vain, endeavoured to obtain a more favourable decision, notwithstanding he particularly appealed to the Prussian, as well as the French and Italian Ministers for that purpose.
It is also asserted, that on the above principles, as relating from the precise terms of the 7th article of the Treaty of Luneville, the Teutonic Grand Master will not be indemnified for the losses sustained by the order on the Left Bank of the Rhine, as that body is considered as an Ecclesiastical Corporation.
The stagnation of trade here brings commercial failures almost in the order of the day.—Yesterday a large banking-house stopped for about 150,000 florins, near 25,000. Sterling, and very lately a celebrated Jew, hard by an Offenbach, on being obliged to stop payment, it occasioned in him so uncommon a depression of spirits, that he blew out his brains with a pistol.
From a London Print.
The public attention in Germany is now much devoted to the famous robber, called Schinderhannes , who at length has been taken and delivered up to the French, about two months ago, with several of his associates. A thousand anecdotes are related of this extraordinary man, who is said never to have attacked the poor, but even, on the contrary, to have been their real friend and supporter, robbing the rich, the Clergy and Jews in particular, to afford them succour; maintaining, amongst his associates, near 200 in number, a severe discipline, and punishing even with death those of them as transgressed their voluntary submission to his controul. After being all last year the terror of the left bank of the Rhine, and laying under periodical contribution all the country between Mayence and Coblenz, he transferred his gang to the right bank of the river in Franconia, and was at length arrested as a fulminating character, on coming into the Runkelischen district one day, at a little market town, in the character of a pedlar, with a horse and cart full of wares, as was frequently his practice, upon a reconnoitring scheme: to avoid more minute investigation he there enlisted with the Austrians, and being sent to the general rendezvous at Frankfort, was recognised and betrayed by an associate.
He then acknowledged himself to be Schinderhannes , and was, at the request of the French Minister, delivered up to the Republic, and conducted, with several of his associates apprehended in the interim, particularly one called Black Jonas , in great notoriety, to Mayence, where he now remains a close prisoner, as well as his father and mother, peasants near Rastadt, his mistress, and many others, waiting their trial.
His age is only 23, and his conduct, if what is greedily published of him be true, almost modelled on that of Carl Moore , in SCHILLER'S famous play of The Robbers , imitated lately on the English stage under the title of Red Cross Knights , and which would seem to have electrified and given a wrong impulse to an ardent imagination, which, in better pursuits, might have formed an heroic character.
As the present is the best month in the year for brewing beer—and as the materials that compose GENEROUS and genuine malt liquor, are in as great an abundance as has been remembered for years, we hope that molasses, quassia and all chemical substitutes, will give way to honest malt and hops, and that avarice will no longer militate against the health of the public.
British PORTER is certainly a generous beverage, for where the composition is bad, it can never be brought to hold up its head.
On the 27th ult. Mr. WEY , President of the Royal Academy of London, gave a supper dejeune to the most celebrated French Artists, and some of the most distinguished personages of the English now at Paris. Citizen and Madame Lebrun, Citizen Leroy, Lord and Lady Oxford, Miss Williams, Mr. Erskine, Mr. Kemble, and many others whose names we could not learn, were of the party.—Many toasts expressive of a wish for the union of the Professors of Arts in both countries, as well in war as in peace, were drank with the warmest enthusiasm. Mr. Erskine's health was drank under the title of the modern Demosthenes, the ardent Defender of the Liberty of the Press. Mr. Erskine replied in a modest and spirited speech.
The new improvements in the City, of which notice has been given in the London Gazette, will make a great alteration in the property of individuals. Lord HAWKESBURY'S plan is to have a new London Bridge, higher up the River than the present one, with a wide grand street to face the Royal Exchange; to effect this, several of the houses in the front of Cornhill, opposite the Exchange, and the principal part of Exchange-alley, must come down, as also many houses in Lombard-street, Cannon-street, &c.
Behind the Royal Exchange, the houses in Bartholomew-lane will be let
back at least fifty feet. The church will remain, and the arch under the present street will lead to the new foot-path; the houses at the end of Bartholomew-lane, in Throgmorton-street, will come down, to make the opening to the grand street which will go through Tokenhouse-yard, Bell-alley, to London-wall, and to face the grand square which will be built where Bedlam now stands.—The ground is all measured, and the plans drawn; even the new streets are already named; as soon as the Acts of Parliament are obtained, the tenants will have six months notice to quit, and this great work will be proceeded on with all possible expedition.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Dr. PARR.
The following letter of Sir Francis Burdett to Dr. Parr, and the Dr.'s answer, have been for the last two or three days in the hands of some friends. We should think it an injustice to the public, and an injury on the one side to a noble generosity—on the other, to the cause of genius, learning, and virtue, were we to withhold from our readers a circumstance in all points of view so admirable and so exemplary:
Sir, I am sorry that it is not in my power to place you in a situation which would well become you—I mean in the Episcopal Palace at Bugden; but I can bring you very near to it; for I have the presentation to a rectory now vacant, within a mile and a half of it, which is very much at Dr. Parr's service. It is the rectory of Grasham, at present worth two hundred pounds a year, and, as I am informed, may soon be worth two hundred and seventy; and I this moment learn that the incumbent died last Tuesday.
Dr. Parr's talents and character might well entitle him to better patronage than this from those who know how to estimate his merits; but I acknowledge that a great additional motive with me to the offer I now make him, is, that I believe I cannot do any thing more pleasing to his friends, Mr. Fox, Mr. Sheridan, and Mr. Knight; and I desire you, Sir, to consider yourself obliged to them only.
I have the honour to be, Sir, With the greatest respect, Your obedient servant, FRANCIS BURDETT.
Vicarage-House, Buckden, Sept. 26th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, After rambling in various parts of Norfolk, I went to Cambridge, and from Cambridge I yesterday came to the patronage of my most respectable friend, Mr. Maltby, at Buckden, where I this morning had the honour of receiving your letter. Mrs. Parr opened it last Friday at Hatton, and I trust that you will pardon the liberty she took in delivering your servant to convey it to me in Huntingdonshire, where she knew that I should be, as upon this day.
Permit me, dear Sir, to request that you would accept the warmest and most sincere thanks of my heart for this unolicited, but most honourable, expression of your good-will towards me. Nothing can be more important to my worldly interest than the service you have done me, in presenting me to the living of Gassham. Nothing can be more exquisitely gratifying to my very best feelings, than the language in which you have conveyed to me this mark of your friendship. Indeed, dear Sir, you have enabled me to pass the years of declining life in comfortable and honorable independence. You have given me additional and unalterable conviction, that the firmness, with which I have adhered to my principles, has obtained for me the approbation of wise and good men. And when that approbation assumes, as it now does, the form of protection, I fairly confess to you, that the patronage of Sir Francis Burdett has a right to be ranked among the proudest, as well as the happiest, events of my life. I trust that my future conduct will justify you in the disinterested and generous gift which you have bestowed upon me: and sure I am that my friends, Mr. Fox, Mr. Sheridan, and Mr. Knight, will not only share with me in my joy, but sympathise with me in those sentiments of respect and gratitude which I shall ever feel towards Sir Francis Burdett.
Most assuredly I shall myself set a higher value upon your kindness, when I consider it as intended to gratify the friendly feelings of these excellent men, as well as to promote my own personal happiness.
I shall wait your pleasure about the presentation; and I beg leave to add, that I shall stay at Buckden for one week only, and shall have reached Hatton about this day fortnight, where I shall obey your commands. One circumstance, I am sure, will give you great satisfaction, and therefore I shall beg leave to state it. The living of Gassham will be of infinite value to me, because it is tenable with a rectory I now have in Northamptonshire; and happy I am, that my future residence will be fixed, and my existence closed, upon that spot, where Sir Francis Burdett has given me the power of spending my old age with comforts and conveniencies, quite equal to the extent of my fondest wishes, and
far surpassing any expectations I have hitherto ventured to indulge.
I have the honour to be, with the greatest respect, and most unfeigned thankfulness,
Dear Sir, Your very obedient, faithful servant, S. PARR.
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
Report presented to the Consuls of the Republic by the Minister of the Interior.
Citizen Consuls, The English house of commons has voted a reward of 5,000 l. to Dr. Smith, the author of An important Discovery, for removing Foul Air from Prisons, &c.
As a discovery in the sciences, particularly when it essentially concerns the welfare of humanity, appears to me to be connected with the glory of the nation that has produced it, I think it my duty to claim this discovery in favour of France; and it will be sufficient for me to establish this claim in an incontestible manner, by the evidence of some facts.
Citizen Guyton Morveau made known, in 1773, the happy effect of fumigations of muriatic acid, in removing foul air.
The first experiment was made on the 6th of March, 1773, to correct the contagious air of the principal church of Dijon, after the opening of the tombs of the said church.— Journal de Physique, vol. 1, page 436.
Towards the end of the same year, Citizen Guyton, by using the same process, stopped the alarming progress of gaol fever which had broken out in the gaol of Dijon— Journal de Physique, 1774, page 73.
In 1774, these fumigations were successfully used by Vicq-d'Azir, to stop an epidemic distemper which was ravaging the South of France.
In 1775, M. de Montigny published two instructions or treatises upon putrid and pestilential diseases, and recommended acid fumigations, the first use of which he attributed to Guyton Morveau.— (Instructions et avis.)
In 1780, the Academy of Sciences consulted upon the means of correcting the unhealthiness of prisons, proposed acid fumigations, and attributed the first idea of them to Guyton Morveau.— (Memoires de l'Academie, pour 1780, page 421.)
In the second year (1794, old style,) the Council of Health drew up an instruction upon the means of purifying the rooms in military hospitals, in execution of the decree of the 14th Pluviose of the same year. The process of Guyton Morveau is advised.
In the year 7, the method proposed by Morveau was practised with success in the army of Italy.
In the year 9, it was advantageously used against a contagious malady, that ravaged part of Spain.
And, in the year 10, the happy effects of it were seen in the treatment of an epidemic distemper that reigned in the department of Oise.
Finally, in the year 9 (1801.) Guyton Morveau published a treatise on the means of purifying the air, in which he gives in detail the history of his discovery, makes known the result of the practice of his process, and pays a tribute to Mr. Smith, who had made the most successful use of acid fumigations since the year 1780, in the Winchester hospital, in 1795, in the hospital of Sheerness, and on board different ships in the fleet.
The only difference that exists between the process employed by the French chemist, and the English physician, is that the former has made use of fumigations of muriatic acid, whilst the latter advises fumigations of nitrous acid.
Thus, both employ fumigations of mineral acids; both have been equally fortunate in the use of them. There is, therefore, but one discovery, and that discovery, belongs to the French chemist. Health and respect.

HAVANNAH & LOUISIANA.
Extract of a letter from the Havannah, dated Nov. 3.
Since my last the governor has refused to clear out any vessels for the coast of Africa, in consequence of an exclusive privilege granted to the marquis Colouillo of Spain, to import 6000 negroes into this island in foreign vessels. This privilege will commence to operate from and after the first day of December next—and will derange the plans of a great number of American as well as English merchants, who had laid out their accounts to make fortunes here in that trade. The number of negroes required for this island is beyond any calculation yet made, as the number already imported since peace, exceeds, as I am informed, upwards of twelve thousand.
The consulate have drawn up a strong and spirited remonstrance, against this privilege, and sent it forward to the king—and are supported by planters; and all parties. Since the promulgation of the licence or order, negroes have risen in price from 20 to 30 dollars per head; and look up towards the close of the year; notwithstanding the heads of departments say that they shall after the last day of December, continue to admit vessels with negroes until they hear from the king, in answer to their memorial or remonstrance—but they cannot be depended upon.
There are but few Americans here now, but as flour and lumber are now admitted in Spanish vessels from the United States, and horses in American vessels, I do suppose that there will be a great number in here, in the course of the winter; as the government does not as was supposed, and as the Spanish merchants wished, hunt the strangers down and turn them out of the country.
The marquis is yet here, and as the winter is coming on fast, will I believe, take passage in the ship Narcisse , commanded by Mr. Facio, of Philadelphia, bound for that place, and which will sail in eight or ten days.
On Friday last arrived at this port a French commissary from the Cape, accompanied by his family and secretary. He wants money, and I do suppose has some commercial plans in view, as he leaves his family here until his return from New Orleans, where he goes in a few weeks on some business for his government—and more than probably, is charged with some arrangements to be made in that province, previous to its being given up to his nation—it being now reduced to a certainty, that the order from his Catholic majesty to that effect, has been received here by the captain-general of that province, and of the Floridas. It is to be given up to the French in the same state as it was received from them by the Spaniards.
I have lately wrote to the secretary of state informing him of the permission granted for flour and lumber, and also of the arrival of the commissary here, and when I learn the object of his mission shall inform immediately, as I really believe that one half of our country do not believe that New Orleans will be given up by the Spaniards.
There are several other vessels here which will be sailing soon for New York by which you shall hear from me again.
It is also said, that two commissioners will arrive soon, to take charge of the country, with ten thousand troops; and that it is to be delivered up in the same situation to the French as it was received from them by the Spaniards.
Several vessels have lately been captured on the coast and brought into this port for smuggling, or on suspicion having been found in the harbours to windward, and as the Spaniards say, with orders to land their cargoes.
Freights are due to Spain at less than four dollars, and to the United States at one dollar per box, and vessels will not bring any price, although there are a great many here for sale, and the best ships that ever entered the port or were ever built in the United States.
From another letter, dated November 8.
The packet arrived from Spain on Saturday night, and brings a confirmation of what I wrote you respecting New Orleans; it also brings the answer of his majesty to the memorial of the consulate, respecting the admission of lumber from the United States in American vessels, and to carry away therefor rum and molasses. His majesty has refused to grant their request as to American vessels, but has granted it as to Spanish; therefore, Spanish vessels can now go from hence to the United States and carry rum, molasses, and it is said brown sugar, and bring from thence lumber or horses.—However, this may lead to something else."

Extract of a letter from Canton, to a mercantile House in Providence, Rhode Island, dated May 3, 1802.
Since mine of the 13th of March, an English fleet has arrived at Macao for the purpose of taking possession of that place; but the Portuguese, being tributary to the Emperor of China, it was thought necessary by the Senate at
Macao to obtain his permission, in consequence of which disposition on the part of the government of Macao, the fleet was waiting orders from Bengal how to proceed, when happily peace was yesterday announced with all the world, by a Spanish frigate, which arrived at Macao from Manila and St. Blas—a circumstance which bleeding Europe had long been fighting for.
On the 2d ult. the ship Ganges arrived here from Philadelphia."
New-York Dec. 6.
In a former paper we mentioned, under the head GALLERY OF SCULPTURE , an association formed by several gentlemen in this city, for the purpose of procuring from France, casts of the most celebrated antique statues. The gentlemen who compose this society, had a meeting yesterday at the Tontine Coffee House; and the following are the minutes of their proceedings, handed us by the acting secretary.
New-York, Dec. 3, 1802.
The members of the New-York Academy of the Fine Arts, having met agreeable to notice, and Edward Livingston esq. being requested to take the chair, the society proceeded to business.
On motion of Dr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Robert J. Livingston, the meeting proceeded to ballot for a president, directors, treasurer and secretary, when the following elections were made:
The Hon. Edward Livingston, President.
Directors.
Col. W. S. Smith, Dr. Joseph Brown, John B. Brevost, Wm. Cutting, Wm. M. Seton, Stephen Van Rensselaer, Robert J. Livingston, Treasurer, Dr. Peter Irving, Secretary.
On motion resolved , That the president and directors meet at an early day to digest and form the necessary bye laws for the Society, to be submitted to their consideration, at a meeting to be called at a time and place designated by the president.
Resolved , That the president and directors apply to the Legislature at their next meeting, for an act of incorporation of the society under the denomination and title of "The New-York Academy of the Fine Arts."
Resolved , That the shares of the society be extended to five hundred—to be paid by installments, as the President and directors may think proper to order.—
Wilmington, N. C. Nov. 25.
The superior court for the district of Wilmington, being in session, the honorable William Henry Hill , our representative in Congress, waited upon the grand jury, and addressed them on the subject of the approaching congressional election:—he said that through them he wished to return thanks to his constituents, for electing him to the important station, he now fills; and was extremely sorry that circumstances had put it out of his power to serve the district any longer than for the ensuing session of Congress; but that he was happy in having the honor to recommend to public suffrage a gentleman of equal worth and abilities, in the person of Major Alexander Duncan Moore , who accompanied Mr. Hill on the occasion. The grand jury listened with attention to Mr. Hill's address, and after he had concluded, about two-thirds of them expressed sentiments to the following purport:—We know that Mr. Hill enjoyed our confidence and received our suffrages at the last congressional election; but his political conduct and evident opposition to the present administration of the national government, had induced them, and in their opinion the freemen of the district generally, to a determination, to withdraw from Mr. Hill on the ensuing election, that support which they had formerly given him; consequently they could not, consistently with their political duty, bestow their suffrages on the gentleman of his recommendation. One of the grand jurymen, however, dissented from the general opinion and declared in favour of the Major—the other five were entirely neuter. The next day being Wednesday, Mr. Hill again visited the grand jury, but in consequence of an indisposition on their part to enter into political discussion, he soon retired.
[The above was communicated by one of the gi and jurymen.]
By virtue of a writ of Venditioni exponas , issued out of the circuit Court of the District of Columbia, for the county of Washington, to me directed, will be exposed to Public Sale, on Monday the 13th December, at (JOHN L. NAPIER's eastern Ferry.)

Twelve members attended—No quorum.
Thursday, December 9.
Only twelve members present—Not a quorum.
Our readers will see, under the Wilmington (N. C.) head, another evidence of the great change which a few years have produced in political impressions. Mr. Hill, the present representative from North Carolina, appears to have enjoyed, for a considerable length of time, the confidence of his constituents. The impression that he was a genuine republican enabled him to maintain his political ground against all competition. But the part he took during the last session has entirely obliterated all political partiality for him, and in whatever degree he may still retain the personal esteem and regard of his fellow citizens, he has forfeited their respect for him as a public man. His experience will be useful to others, as well as honorable to the American character. It exhibits to every public functionary the necessity of consulting the general interests and of yielding to the national will, in order to preserve the confidence of the people, and it shews the superiority of the people to all personal considerations which interfere with principle.
The following article is extracted from the Virginia Gazette, a paper printed at Richmond, which has, of late, been the organ of much federal misrepresentation. It is in no respect important but for the proof which it furnishes that the enemies of the present administration are also enemies of the first principles of our political institutions. A more naked condemnation of the republican form of our government cannot be found. To associate small with great things; it may be classed with the celebrated propositions of Mr. Hamilton offered in Convention, and the no less celebrated declaration of Mr. Adams, both of which would have led to a house of lords, and an order of nobility, by whatever names they may have been designated.
"No article in the constitution of the government of the United States, or those of the individual states, requires more consideration than the policy of the senate. This branch of our government is well known to be borrowed from that of Great Britain, and it were to be wished that the basis of the British senate, viz. hereditary right, had also been adopted in America. In the memorable revolution which separated Helvetia from the Germanic Empire, this part of the feudal system was preserved with the greatest care; it was regarded, even by
that rude and barbarous people, as the best guardian of their rights. To the laws of hereditary they committed the continuance of the liberty which they had acquired. They looked upon the regular transfer of property in lineal succession, as the only mode of delivering to posterity their thoughts and their wishes. To the power of hereditary right, they trusted in the same manner, as an affectionate parent confides in the wisdom of those whom he selects as trustees for his children. Hereditary right, in short, seems to be the only tie in society that can connect the manners and rights of one age with those of another. Without the influence of this powerful engine in government, a nation appears to be in the same forlorn situation as the unhappy individual who is destitute of a home. It is ready to become the sport of every storm, that may arise in the minds of thoughtless men. As a ship without an anchor, it is liable to be tossed through a sea filled with shoals and quicksands. It may ride in peace for a few years; but the interpolation of heaven can only prevent its destruction for a length of time. In America, the vast tract of unsettled territory will serve for many centuries as a substitute for the policy of hereditary; but after this becomes exhausted, the inhabitants of the United States, if the present constitution endure until then, may look out for the signal of civil commotion.
"As the senate are the representatives and guardians of hereditary in Great Britain, so they are the representatives of property in America. The number, therefore, ought not to be considered so important as the dignity and respect that should be attached to that body. By an increase of number, the respect or dignity due to the senate is lessened, but by a diminution of number their dignity is enhanced. Mr. Burr therefore considered the institution of the senate in the true light which that body ought to be regarded, and not with those Jacobinical eyes that distort every fabric which is founded on reason and judgment."
FEDERAL MISREPRESENTATION.
No. XXVIII.
The following is extracted from a federal print:
"A correspondent observes, "Is it possible that the people of Georgia have at length dared so far to think and act for themselves as to elect a representative in Congress, contrary to general orders. PETER EARLY, Esq. is that member."
This misrepresentation is noticed to rescue the character of a young man of promising talents from an imputation that he would feel a reproach, and which his constituents, if founded, would consider an evidence of their want of penetration. The truth is, and we aver it in the most unqualified language, that Mr. Early is a firm and enlightened republican, devoted to the true interests of his country, and warmly attached to the measures of the existing administration.
Dr. BARTON'S "Elements of Botany," in one large volume, octavo, illustrated by about thirty plates, are now in the press at Philadelphia, & will be published in the course of four or five weeks.
The "Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences," are collecting materials for publishing a Statistical History of that State.
THE SUFFRAGE BILL.
Granting the liberty of voting to every free white male citizen in this state, has passed both houses of the Maryland legislature by a large majority. This is a mortal blow to what is called federalism in this country, at least—if not over the whole state. The republicans expected it here, and their delegates have not deceived them. This is confidence well bestowed, and the thing is just as it should be. This is true representation; all for the public good. It is to be hoped that the constituents of Messrs. SHIVER, NELSON, HAWKINS, and KEMP, will receive them with a "well done" when they arrive at their respective homes, as they have already, we understand, expressed their approbation of the conduct of their respected senator Dr. TYLER. The lower house was the only place where the passage of this bill met with any opposition; it was carried there finally by a majority of 32. It passed through the senate nem. con. without a dissenting voice. The representatives from this county acted manfully on the occasion; they said the people wanted this right, and that they must have it—and so in fact they have, to the infinite joy of the republicans, and the mortification of their enemies.

NEW-YORK, December 6: The fast sailing English ship Richard, captain Persin, arrived at this port yesterday in 42 days from London, and 30 from the Lizard Point. She left London on the 16th, and the Downs on the 24th October, bringing papers to the 21st.
In addition to the articles subjoined from papers to the 16th (with which General Lyman has obligingly favoured the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser) a Gentleman who came passenger in the Richard informs us, that the English Government had ordered a number of men of war to be in readiness for sea; that several had sailed from Portsmouth, supposed to be destined for the Mediterranean; and that the interference of the French Government in the affairs of Switzerland excited in the minds of some politicians an apprehension of a renewal of hostilities between France and Great-Britain.
Commerce in England rather languid. American Produce generally low.
LONDON, October 14.
Yesterday arrived a mail from Holland, but it brought no intelligence of importance. The Amsterdam Courant contains a report, that the French troops have received orders to pass the Rhine, in case there shall appear any delay in terminating the indemnities.
It is said, that a change is about to take place in the government of the Batavian Republican, and that the Directorial will be changed for the Consular form of government.
London, October 16.
The affairs of Switzerland have reached a crisis which may decide the fate of that unhappy country. The Helvetic army having been completely defeated on the 3d inst. by the patriots before Avrenches, were compelled to retreat in great disorder to Moudon. Lausanne was in consequence thrown into the greatest alarm, and nothing less was talked of than the retreat of the government to Geneva; when on a sudden, the next morning, the French adjutant General Rapp, entered Lausanne, with the proclamation of the First Consul, with which he repaired to the senate, accompanied by Verninae the French minister. The senate, after hearing the proclamation read, with a baseness and meanness peculiar to itself, but which might have been expected from its previous conduct, decreed, that it received with gratitude that new testimony of the benevolence of the First Consul towards the Helvetic people. That an expiring faction should receive with gratitude a measure which appeared to it calculated to restore its lost power, may easily be conceived; but that it should dare to denounce such an outrage upon humanity and justice, an act of benevolence towards the Helvetic people, adds another instance to the number which have already been evinced in other countries, of the blindness of petty personal interest, and the atrocity of unprincipled ambition. Rapp, having fulfilled his commission at Lausanne, immediately set off for Berne, to make the same communication to the patriots in that city. In the mean time, the confederated patriots entered Moudon, which is no great distance from Lausanne, where an armistice was concluded between Vonder Weide, the new commander in chief of the Helvetic troops, and the Bernese general occupying Moudon, which it was agreed should last until information was received of the resolution taken by the committee at Berne respecting the proclamation of the First Consul.
The Bernese posts were, however, advanced to the village of Monfrevegie, which is only two leagues from Lausanne. General Rapp having arrived at the Head Quarters of the Patriots at Berne, communicated to general Bachmann the proclamation of the First Consul, and summoned him to suspend hostilities. The latter agreed to a suspension of arms, until the receipt of fresh orders from the committee at Berne. That committee having received the communications, declared, that they could not give a decisive answer to the First Consul's Proclamation, but that they would refer it to the Diet at Schwitz, who alone were charged with the general direction of the affairs of Switzerland. Two members of the committee were accordingly deputed to the Diet, and general Rapp agreed to wait their return to Berne. An armistice was then concluded, to last until the decision of the Diet of Schwitz, and orders were sent to the different commanders to suspend hostilities until that event.
Thus, upon the decision of the diet of Schwitz rests the fate of Switzerland. That the representatives of a brave and independent people will relive tamely to submit to the arbitrary mandate of France; that they will prostrate their liberties at the feet of the French government, without making one courageous effort to defend them, we cannot believe. The spirit and patriotism already evinced by the brave and unfortunate Swiss, render it incredible that the Representatives of their principles and their feelings will be actuated by cowardice, to surrender the freedom of their country without a struggle. The representatives of a country which gave birth to
William Tell, must be indeed degenerate, if they tamely give up their birthright at the despotic summons of a power which is endeavouring to trample upon their liberties and their privileges without any other plea than its own ambition.
It appears that another Revolution is nearly effected in the Batavian Republic. Citizen Schimmelpinnick, it is said, was to be made the chief Executive Officer, with a title and power similar to that of the First Consul.
Boston, Dec. 1, 1802.
FROM ST. DOMINGO.
The last accounts from Port Republic, are as late as the 1st November. The greatest consternation prevailed throughout the Isle of Leogane. The negroes have burnt Leogane, Grand Guave, Petit Guave, L'Arcahayes, and St. Marc; they have also destroyed fort Bisseton; and it was expected they would soon make themselves master of Port Republic. The French die very fast.
Extract of a letter dated Port Republic, 1st of November.
"Death and destruction threatens us, even within the fortified walls; in short, every town, village, &c. from the Cape to this place has become the prey of the brigands and the flames—we maintain, yet, a few posts at Mirebalais, Grand Bois and Gui de Sac; but from all appearance they will soon be wrestled from us, and France will have nothing left in this devoted island but the Cape, Port Republic and the Mole, as the South, hitherto so quiet, exhibits already the dreadful symptoms of the approaching revolution."
A letter from Mr. Gavino, dated Sept. 6, says, "Four days ago 36 Moroccan seamen arrived here from Tunis, for the Tripoline ship laid up here. They this day begin to work on her. Please to communicate this to the commanders of the United States ship of war," &c.
500 Dollars Reward.
ON Saturday the 20th inst. I wrote a letter to Messrs. Pickett, Pollard and Johnson, of Richmond, including bank notes as per numbers &c. annexed, amounting to 1250 dollars which letter was given to WILLIAM BELL, then my Clerk, to put into the Post Office, which he did not do, but has absconded with the letter and its contents.
The above reward will be paid for apprehending him with the whole of the money, or in proportion for a part of it. Or I will give two hundred dollars for apprehending him without the money.
He is about 30 years old, dark complexion, hair and eyes, speaks low and in a whining tone of voice—has a bashful appearance when spoken to, is about 6 feet high, spare made, and has broad features. He left Norfolk on Tuesday the 23rd inst. and was seen on board a vessel bound for Baltimore. His dress was of a light complexion when he went away; but it is probable he has since changed it.
One note of the Manhattan company, dated August 27 1799 for 100 dollars—ten notes of the Norfolk branch Bank for 100 dollars each, viz. no 3523, dated May 18 1800—no 3449, 3440, 3416, 3558, 3554, 3534, 3506, 3504, and 3472, dated October 24 1801. Fifteen notes of the same bank for 50 each, viz. no 3062, dated May 24, 1800; no. 2843, 2761 2759, dated July 27, 1801; no. 675 of Jan. 10th 1801; no. 3948, 3918, dated June 2d, 1800; no. 2563, 2522, dated May 19th, 1801; no. 2866, 2867, 4058, 4085, 4086 & 4082, dated October 2d, 1801.
