CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH OF JULY.
WE promised our readers a general account of the celebration this year of the greatest day which the world has ever beheld; a day which forms the era of the first existence of rational liberty on the face of the globe; a day, which we sincerely believe will, till time shall be no more, be looked back to as giving birth to those principles of truth which will ultimately obtain an universal prevalence. This is not the language of enthusiasm, but of sober conviction—the march of truth may hereafter be slow, but it will be sure. Ignorance and superstition cannot again overshadow the earth with their deleterious gloom; the press has arrested their career, and will wherever it is planted give them their death blow. In a century our numbers will exceed one hundred millions. Our power will impart splendor to our principles; they will be respected, and finally adopted by the European world. Then their real worth will be fully appreciated by the gratitude of happy nations, and those illustrious men who gave them existence be acknowledged as the greatest benefactors of mankind.
Viewing the subject in this point, it is possible to refrain from taking a lively interest in the patriotic feelings excited by the return of our anniversary, on beholding the fire of liberty still glowing in the hearts of our countrymen, and that enthusiasm undecayed which is destined to spread it among the nations of the earth.
At WASHINGTON, the seat of the general government, our readers have already seen that the day has been celebrated with the honors which have invariably been paid it by men whose lives are devoted to the good of their country, and many of whom had the most powerful agency in the event it commemorates.
At ALEXANDRIA, the centre of the Virginia section of the district of Columbia, a similar zeal was manifested; which the Expositor records in the following terms:
THE FOURTH OF JULY. A day hallowed by every virtuous citizen of the U. S. for on that day we dissevered ourselves from the despotism of the British king, established our National Government, and asserted the individual rights of Man. Hence each return of this great Anniversary warms every patriot's feeling, and affords opportunity for displaying public opinion. Actuated by an honorable zeal, Friday was celebrated in Alexandria by a public dinner, at which the volunteer corps and many private citizens were present, as well as by several other convivial parties—the Day was ushered in by the discharge of 2 guns, and 17 welcomed the first dawn of the rising sun. The vessels in the harbour displayed their colors, and the weather was as fine and pleasant as any remembered this season of the year. At half past eleven o'clock the volunteer companies paraded in Royal street, from whence they marched under the command of major Young, to the parade ground, where they were reviewed by col. McKinney, and performed a variety of evolutions under his command, after which the Declaration of Independence was read by Lieut. Edmund I. Lee, of the cavalry. At the conclusion a feu de joie was fired, and the companies proceeded to Spring Gardens, where they partook of a plentiful dinner provided for the occasion, at which good humour, hilarity and order prevailed.
At PHILADELPHIA, the celebration has been marked with a distinction to be expected from the population, the opulence and the patriotism of that great emporium, which is thus noticed in the Aurora.
Tranquil cheerfulness and sober joy at once the effect of freedom and of confidence, pervaded the auspicious day—the weather which had been inclement, and the 'raw east wind' which had poured forth torrents for two days with short intermission, as if to cool the parched earth, suddenly ceased, and left the atmosphere tempered and salubrious, even approaching and vying with the refrigerating atmosphere of October.
The dawn of the fourth of July shewed a full and placid moon and a serene azure firmament—and the roar of a battery of (ci-devant) British cannon, well served by the old revolutionary artillery regiment of this city, announced the opening festival by the usual military salute.
The republican militia legion, the corps composing which had assembled on their several parades about 5 o'clock, paraded soon after in Front street, extending from Market street southward.
The military parade proceeded about half past 7 o'clock, in open column, the right in front, by Market street to Centre Square, and being paraded as usual on Broad street, on a valley on the flank and a grass field pieces drawn up en potence , on the right wing—gen. Shee saluted a grand salute, which was fired with great precision by the artillery of the detachments on duty—after which a
triple feu de joie commenced from right to left by the first battalion, and was continued with spirit by the second in the same direction.
The musical corps of the legion were on this occasion highly improved, and added considerably to the interest and effect of the parade. The military band of the Southwark Light Infantry commanded by captain Fetterell, marched the legion from the parade, and alternated their performances on the march and in the intervals of the salutes with the band of the Republican Greens .
The feu de joie was fired about nine o'clock, after which the legion was marched into Market street, where the several corps separated, each marching to its particular place of entertainment.
It has not been customary with us for several years to notice the legion so particularly and in detail, as on its first establishment; on this festival we felt particular satisfaction on perceiving that the corps, almost without exception, were more numerous, and their whole appearance, uniform and accoutrements much superior to any former occasion; the knowledge and the ability of discipline was also much more perceptible than on former occasions. The legion, however, had to regret the absence of their second officer, major Simons, whose recent indisposition disabled him from duty, "though his heart was there." The major general commandant Shee, with a view to the accommodation of the citizen soldiers, on the anniversary, and to avoid the inconvenience of the mid-day heat, omitted the performance of manoeuvres, and marched them from the ground very early.
At NEW YORK—The Citizen observes,
The anniversary of the day when the "Colonies" were declared to be "Free and Independent States," was celebrated in this city with the customary pomp and festivity. The celebration was ushered in by the ringing of bells, the firing of the national salute, &c. Early in the morning the uniform troops paraded on the Battery, and went thro' the usual evolutions, and review. Their appearance and conduct were soldierly. The troops were succeeded on the Battery by the different societies, whence they marched in procession through the principal streets to the Dutch church, where Mr. Kuyper addressed the Throne of Grace in a manner very creditable to his piety and patriotism. This gentleman has all the requisites of a clerical orator. After the prayer, the Declaration of Independence was read by a member of the Masons, & a patriotic address was delivered by a member of the Mechanic Society. In the evening the place of public resort were numerously attended.
We are sorry to observe that at BALTIMORE proper respect was not paid to the day. There were a number of private patriotic parties, but it was certainly the duty of the military to turn out.
BOSTON. The Independent Chronicle says—
On Friday last our Nation's Birth Day was celebrated with unusual demonstrations of gratitude and festivity; evincing that all classes of our citizens felt themselves in perfect possession of that inestimable blessing, to obtain which our fathers endured perils and made sacrifices that are the theme of annual recital.
The account we shall continue to publish will exhibit the feelings and sentiments of the people on the present administration of our National and State Governments.
The Republican citizens assembled at the State House, agreeably to notification, and at half past two o'clock proceeded from the Representatives' room to the place of entertainment within a decorated tent erected on Cop's hill.
The Washington Infantry, commanded by captain Loring, repaired to the lodgings of the Tunisian Ambassador, from whence he and James Leander Cathcart, esq. were escorted to the State House, accompanied by the colonel of the legionary brigade, and other officers of the infantry, in their uniforms. On their arrival they were introduced into the Representatives' chamber, by the marshals of the day. The President received the Ambassador at his entrance, and led him to a chair placed in the centre of the room for his reception.
The company having made choice of Benjamin Austin, esq. for President; gen. Skinner, col. Procter, and capt. J. Rhoades, Vice Presidents, the procession moved from the State House, escorted by the facilities commanded by captain Howe. The order and regularity of the march was highly pleasing as curiosity had excited a great number of the inhabitants to assemble in the streets through which they passed, to see a stranger whose customs and habits were so novel in our country. The ambassador was gratified with the civility and respect paid him, and expressed his warmest attachment for the citizens of Boston.
The day was remarkably favorable for the accommodation of the company
within the tent. The brilliancy of the scene was enlivened by the crowds of citizens assembled on the hill; the prospect from its heights was magnificent; and hilarity, philanthropy and fraternity were expressed in every countenance, and exhibited in the conduct of every individual. The ambassador retired about half after five o'clock, attended by four sergeants to his carriage in waiting.
A communication was made to the company from their brethren in Charlestown, and their young democratic friends assembled at the Green Dragon; and appropriate returns were made to them respectively.
In the evening rockets were exhibited, and the whole business of the day closed with that display of friendship and mutual cordiality, which will ever add to the reputation of republican citizens.
RICHMOND. At this place an oration was pronounced in the capitol, and several dinners given which were numerously attended; but the honors paid to the day not so distinguished as is usual.
AT PETERSBURG, "the day was celebrated in a style of uncommon magnificence. The sun rose unclouded from the east, and gilded the scene by its bright and vivifying influence—the atmosphere was temperate, and gentle breezes calmed the sultry rays of Sol—indeed every thing tended to animate and invigorate the energies of freemen. At day-break, a salute from the artillery, announced that the 30th Anniversary of American Liberty was at hand, and reminded the citizens that it was incumbent on all to celebrate the auspicious day, in a manner becoming the descendants of those men who gained for us the inestimable boon of independence.
At 11 o'clock, the volunteer companies assembled on Centre Hill, and after going through various evolutions, a federal salute was fired by the artillery, accompanied by discharges from the light infantry and riflemen. By 1 o'clock, the line was formed, and the troops marched through the principal streets in town, to the place appointed for the festival. An elegant band of music, attached to the republican light infantry, (a numerous and highly respectable corps) added much to the splendor of the procession, and heightened the pleasure which beamed on the countenance of every American. Arrived on Archer's Hill, the firings again commenced, and were terminated by a feu de joie , from the whole line.
A highly sumptuous entertainment had been prepared by Mr. Morris, at Bath Spring; and at 3 o'clock about 300 citizens sat down to this delicious banquet.
NORFOLK. The print of that place says—"We do not recollect having witnessed the Anniversary of American Independence celebrated with such universal demonstrations of joy as it was in this borough yesterday. All classes of citizens united in festivity; and no circumstance occurred during the whole day, as we understand, to interrupt that " flow of soul ," which the occasion was calculated to inspire. The military performances of the day, (which was unexpectedly cool and pleasant) were peculiarly gratifying. The Norfolk troop of horse, under the command of capt. Robert B. Taylor, the Norfolk artillery, commanded by capt. Nestle, the light infantry, commanded by capt. Dunn, as well as the Norfolk Junior volunteers, commanded by capt. Maurice, with the militia companies, formed a line about 12 o'clock, and after manoeuvring for some time, were reviewed by lieutenant col. SHARP. After the review the companies marched through the borough, and then attended at Christ church, where an oration was delivered by Mr. Murdaugh. After the duties of the day, the different companies were dismissed to share the social delights of their fellow-citizens.
The entertainments given by the several societies and other companies, will be described, and their toasts published, if sent to us.
The public rejoicings were beyond conception. In the evening there were fire works at the gardens of the Museum Naturae !—On the Toll Bridge !—The Wigwam , &c.—The Theatre was opened! and Ruffaud's with Manfred's astonishing performances!
We regret that we have not room to do justice to the illuminations and fire works displayed at the Museum—suffice it to say, that they by far surpassed every thing of the sort ever exhibited in this borough."
We might swell this list to any extent. Every mail is charged with the account of celebrations, from one end of the union to the other. We can, however, at present only add a few select toasts taken indifferently from the numerous lists published. We regret that our limits do not allow our going more into detail. One circumstance must strike every reader that perseverance the public prints—the great similarity of sentiment, approaching almost to identity, that pervades the union. On such an occasion when the heart speaks,
we may justly consider the sentiments given as a sincere index to the feelings of those who express them. This great similarity proves more forcibly than a volume of arguments that the great interests of our citizens, however different their local situations, or however various the professions they pursue, are the same.
Another circumstance ought to be noticed. The day, judging by those who celebrate it, appears to be peculiarly that of republicans. In a few places the federalists have joined in the festivities; but it is to the republicans that it owes its highest honors. This is as it should be.
SELECTED TOASTS.
The People of the United States —Influenced by the sublime charity which the gospel inculcates, may they not be wanting in love, to their "worst enemies"—THEMSELVES.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States! Splendor of whose character, like the flame of our light house, is made brighter and brighter by the vindictive winds which strive to extinguish it.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE OF THE U. STATES OF AMERICA, FOURTH JULY, 1806. By a Citizen of the United States.
What shouts in the empire of LIBERTY rise! From the ocean, o'er mountains and lakes, they rebound, From St. Croix's frigid regions they swell through the skies, 'Till the deep Gulph of Mexico e- choes the sound.
2. 'Tis the birth of our nation!—On this happy day, The sons of COLUMBIA, with joyful acclaim, First to FREEDOM their tribute of gra- titude pay, And next chant with rapture her Favorite's name!
3. Approach, true Republicans!—join in the song, Which feebly attempts this occasion to hail: And let "Patriot bosoms" the chorus prolong, While Jefferson's health soars aloft on the gale!
4. We solicit no flowers from the garden of art, To deck just affluences in flattery's dress; The homage we offer is that of the heart, Which the organs of speech can but faintly express.
5. To our country, sincere gratu- lations be paid! May she flourish in peace—or in war rise sublime! May her sons never suffer her LAU- RELS to fade, But render her FREEDOM coeval with time!
Twenty Dollars Reward.
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail a young Mulatto man five named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas who keeps the said ferry to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curly hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples on his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by his master since his escape, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in jail shall receive from me the above reward, or as soon due information thereof is given to me or to Dr. N. P. Caudin at Port Tobacco.

THOMAS FORRESTER. June 29—wtf

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
April 13.
Mr. VARNUM. Mr. Speaker, It will be recollected by the House, that early in the session, that part of the message of the President of the U. S. of the third of December last, which relates to the classification & organization of the militia, and to the augmentation of our land forces, was referred to the consideration of a select committee. Several other subjects relative to the physical strength of the nation have, subsequent to that time, been referred to the same committee. They have attentively considered the several subjects referred to them, and have reported to the House, the result of their deliberation on each of them. The suspension of a report on the subject of our land forces to this time, has necessarily been occasioned from the nature of the reference. That subject was submitted to the committee in the words of the message, which are as follows—"Whether it will be necessary to augment our land forces will be decided by occurrences probably in the course of your session." Hence the committee have deferred their report to this time, with a view that it might be made coincident with the existing state of our country, at the close of the session, in conformity with the principles on which the subject was submitted.
But, sir, at a time when the great powers of Europe are engaged in war, devastation and bloodshed, & at a period when there are subjects of difference existing between the U. S. & several of the European powers, it may not be improper to state to the House, the outlines of the physical strength of the country, which may be drawn into operation, in case of an invasion by any foreign nation; which view of the subject has induced the committee to make the report now submitted to you. And, sir, in order to exhibit in its true point of light, the present strength of the U. S. it may not be improper to take a cursory view of the situation of the U. S. at the commencement of the revolutionary war with G. Britain, and the important stand which, in that situation, was made against the strong arm of G. Britain. I will then state to you, in a concise manner, some of the present means of defence within the power of the U. S.; and leave it to the House to draw the contrast, between our situation for defence at that time, and at the present time.
At the commencement of that war, the people of the U. S. were subjects of G. Britain, they were in a state of disorganization. I believe there was not a single company of the militia under legal organization; you had no standing army. There had been a kind of organization under the recommendations of illegal associations, in a part of the union; but no commissions had been issued, no compulsion could be exercised. One class of your citizens were so much attached to royal government, that they either withheld their aid from the cause of the country, or went over to the enemy and fought against us; there were another class who from pecuniary views took the part of the British, and armed themselves against the country; a third class were, from apprehensions of feeling the weight of British vengeance in case the country should be conquered, induced to take part on the side of the enemy; and a fourth class from conscientious scruples as to the justice of opposing their king, were induced to withhold their aid from the cause of their country. These several classes of opponents were very numerous in some of the states, & such were the arrangements of the country at that time, as to permit them to take the side they chose without even branding them with the appellation of traitors. The whole population of the country did not consist of more than 3,500,000 souls. Thus, sir, did those patriots who justly appreciated the blessings of a free government, put their lives, and their all at stake, to procure for themselves, and for posterity the blessings of independence and free government, in opposition to a large portion of their countrymen, & the whole force of the British nation. It is well known by those gentlemen who were on the stage of action at that time, that the means for carrying on a war, then in possession of the people, were very small. We were almost entirely destitute of cannon; very few of the fire arms were such as are generally considered the best calculated for defence against an enemy: they were fire arms generally used by hunters; and most of them without bayonets: we had very little powder or balls in the country. In this unpromising situation of our country, commenced the revolutionary war with Great Britain. But these gloomy prospects did not prevent the people from pursuing their object. At the first battle on the 19th day of April, 1775, the British lost in killed and wounded more than three times the number killed and wounded on the side of the Americans. At the battle of Bunker's Hill 1500 American militia twice repelled 3000 British regulars, and would in all probability, have defeated them ultimately, had not their ammunition been exhausted soon after the British made the third attack; when the British entered the intrenchments which they had thrown up the night before, not having bayonets, they were obliged to fight them with the butts of their muskets, and finally killed and wounded more than 1300 before they began their retreat. The English opened the campaign of 1776 with 60,000 regular troops, including 17,000 Germans, probably with an idea of completing the subjugating of the country that summer; but the intrepidity of the American patriots convinced them of their mistake; our principles were defended; and the famous battle of Trenton closed the operations of the year: the battle of Princeton soon succeeded; and in the same month general Dickinson with a party of New-Jersey militia, after crossing a river, in that inclement season of the year, where the water was up to the middle of the men, attacked an equal number of British troops, beat and entirely routed them.
In the year 1777, many memorable battles were fought, in the middle and northern states, in which, taking them altogether, the patriots had much the advantage. The whole of Burgoyne's army consisting of more than 10,000 men was killed or taken prisoners. The battle at Bennington fought entirely by militia, and commanded by a militia general on the side of the Americans, must remain on the pages of history as an indelible mark of fortitude and patriotism: on the characters of those heroes who fought and conquered on that day. In 1778 happened the famous battle of Monmouth. Thus, sir, the patriots of America, without allies, baffled the most strenuous attacks of the whole British nation, aided by 17,000 foreign mercenaries, for more than three years. After that period we had the aid of France, which no doubt hastened the close of the war, and which
cannot fail to be held in great remembrance by all those who were engaged in the cause of the revolution from proper principles. Many important engagements in the southern states, clearly manifested the prowess of the militia in that part of the union. And, sir, by the exertion of those who dared to put at defiance every danger, in support of the cause of God and their country, we do now, by the blessing of HEAVEN, enjoy the inestimable privileges of liberty and independence.
Now, sir, let us take a cursory view of the present means of defence within the control of the government of the U. States. The productions of the fiscal arrangements of the government, and the facility with which those productions have been placed in your treasury, afford striking evidence of the wealth of your citizens, and their ability to yield that pecuniary aid which will enable the government to put in operation any measures of defence which may be necessary.
The United States are now composed of more than 6,000,000 inhabitants, you have regular organised state governments, and an energetic general government calculated to call into operation all the resources of the nation, when the safety of the people may require it.
There are in the U. States of free white male citizens between the ages of sixteen and forty-five 871,336 persons. The general government passed a law in 1792 for organising the militia
of the U. S. Under that law, the militia have been formed into divisions, brigades, regiments, and companies; these several corps have been officered under the state governments, agreeably to the direction of the law of the U. States. So, Sir, you have in the U. S. a militia completely organized and officered consisting of more than 600,000 men. And, sir, in order to show the comparative strength, and more particularly the comparative laudable exertions of each state, to provide themselves with the means of defence, I will ask the patience of the House, while I mention in detail the numbers of enrolled militia in each state, with the prominent implements of war in their hands. In doing this, I shall state the number of major generals commanding divisions, the number of brigadier generals commanding brigades, the number of lieutenant colonels commanding regiments, the number of artillerymen, the number of cavalry, and the number of infantry, including officers in each state, the number of field artillery, the number of fire arms, the number of horse men's sabres and pistols, and the quantity of powder and balls. I shall not detail the minor articles of equipment; but will observe generally, that the supply of these articles is less numerous than those which I shall state in detail.

And here, sir, permit me to observe, in regard to the state which I have the honor to represent in part on this floor, that by a law of the state each town is compelled to be constantly provided with a quantity of powder, balls and flints, at least equal to one pound of powder, three pounds of balls, and three flints to each man enrolled in the militia; also a proportionate quantity of trenching tools; this town stock is placed under the care of the selectmen of the respective towns, and the Brigade inspectors are by law, also made inspectors of the town stock, within their respective brigades. If any defect is suffered by the towns, the inspectors are bound to report it to a county court, and such deficient town is subjected to a heavy penalty. Add then the town stock of ammunition to that in the hands of individuals of the militia, and it will be found that in that state alone there is more than forty tons of powder & more than one hundred and forty tons of leaden balls, constantly kept in readiness for public use in defence of our rights. It is also a fact, that several other states have public stocks of ammunition, but in what quantities I have not had an opportunity to procure the means of ascertaining.
The artillerymen and the cavalry, as well as a great proportion of the infantry, in Massachusetts, are in complete cloth uniform, and this together with the fire arms and other equipments each individual has provided at his own expense. Many of the officers honored with important commands in the militia of Massachusetts, are men who have seen service, they are men, sir, who dared to step forth in defence of their country at times which tried mens souls; they have seen the glorious effects of their exertions, and feel the importance of order and discipline in the militia; the spirit of discipline acquired in the revolutionary war has been diffused among the militia, and a laudable spirit of emulation pervades every corps; they are competent to the performance of any evolution requisite in the science of tactics, even in the field of action, and are at all times ready, to put their lives in jeopardy, in defence of our liberty, independence and government, against the invasion of any foreign enemy, or the violence of any internal usurpation.
Many gentlemen who were acquainted with service in the revolutionary war, now hold important offices in the militia; in several of the states to my own knowledge, and I presume this is the case in a greater or less degree in all the states.
Military discipline is making rapid progress in many of the states.
In justice to Pennsylvania, it is proper to state, that it is said that the return of fire arms, exhibited, are comprised of those only, which have been
distributed among the militia at the expense of the state; & that a great proportion of the militia in that state are in possession of fire arms; but from some unknown cause they have not been returned. The same observation, it is believed, will apply in a considerable degree to the state of Virginia.—From the best information I have been able to obtain, I have no doubt, that there are many thousand of fire arms in the U. States, equal to many of those with which we commenced the revolutionary war, which have not been returned. The states of Maryland and Delaware have made no return; but I have endeavored to avoid exaggeration, in their numbers and equipments.
Sir, in addition to the force and implements of defence which I have named, you have in the army of the U. S.
Men, officers included; 3,346. In the marine corps who are liable to do duty on land as well at sea 550
Making a regular land force of 3,916 men.
I had the honor, sir, early in the session to report a bill for detaching from the militia 100,000 men to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning, whenever the President of the U. S. shall think it necessary; this bill has been passed into a law, and is calculated to lessen the inconvenience of marching the whole of the militia from any one section of the union, if an invasion should take place. You have, sir, in the public magazines, the property of the U. S. in addition to the cannon provided for the navy and those in the forts, and fortifications on your extensive sea coast and frontiers, 1,400 iron cannon of different calibers, and 500 brass cannon of different calibers. In the same deposits you have 118,197 muskets with bayonets, and rifles, fit for use, and 12,000 which need some small repairs, 1958 pairs of pistols, 500,000 pounds of gun powder; 500 tons of salt-petre, and sufficient quantity of sulphur to mix with it, in the manufacture of it into gun powder; and you have all kinds of balls, shot and shells in abundance. I have also had the honor to present to the House, from the same committee who have directed me to make the report now before you, a proposition for extending the manufacture of fire arms, as far as the capacity of the present armories of the U. S. will permit, which has been agreed to, and appropriations have been made for carrying the proposition into effect; from that source you will add 11,000 stands of fire arms to your stock annually.
Mr. Speaker, I have given you a cursory statement of the weak and divided situation of our country at the commencement of the revolutionary
war with G. Britain, and have mentioned something of the prowess of the patriots of those times, which baffled their exertions, and produced our independence; and I have stated in contrast the outlines of the present strength of the U. S. and of their means of defence. And it may be said without exaggeration that the difference is incalculable. Will any man, (who knew any thing of the state of the country at that period, and of the stand which was made against the whole strength of the British nation, which was brought against us, and whose ideas of the present strength and prowess of the U. S. are not entirely local) pretend to insinuate that we are not in a capacity to contend for our most important national rights? If at that time we were able to meet and defeat the armies of G. Britain, with what kind of prospect can any nation assail us at this time? With this view of the subject the committee have submitted the report before you: the House will judge of its correctness. I am well aware that should we be involved in a war with a nation, which might have it in her power, to pour in upon a remote part of our territory, a large number of troops, and should so do, and keep possession for any length of time, an army during the continuance of such invasion might be necessary; but at present this is not to be expected, and unless we should be involved in a war, I am unable to see any necessity of augmenting our standing army, and hope therefore that the report will meet the approbation of the House.
NATIONAL BANK OF FRANCE.
In another part of our paper we mentioned our intention of noticing this subject in our next, but the mail having furnished us with nothing interesting, we have changed those intentions, and now submit this document, which contains a more distinct account of this institution than we have before seen published.
Pab. Led.
LEGISLATIVE BODY, APRIL 12.
The Counsellor of State Regnault (de Saint-Jean-d'Angle) rose to explain his motives for proposing a bill for the future regulation of the Bank of France; the following is a brief statement of his speech:
A single branch of the general service had suffered (during the absence of his majesty) a single part of the public administration had disappointed his hope, I mean the bank of France. Satisfied to see that it had resumed its payments, & that the evil was repaired, as it were by the mere presence of the chief of state, that credit was created anew by his look, another sovereign would perhaps have thought he might dissemble
the past, & enjoy the present & not provide for the future. His majesty gave himself up to juster, greater and more useful thoughts; he wished to dive into its cause; and desired to prepare the remedy.
A wise and strong government may tell every thing to a powerful and enlightened nation; to dissemble errors or faults belongs to a fatal weakness; to publish and repair them is a part of a provident ability. His majesty perceived that the injury done to public credit, that the degradation of our exchange with foreign countries, that the suspension of the internal circulation of capitals, that the exorbitant height to which interest had transiently risen proceeded from the violation of the rules imposed on the administration of the bank by the law which created it, and by the statutes which govern it.
The bank of France was destined to realise general credit, and the rules of its service were well defined in the law which constituted it; the conditions on which its privileges were granted it, were well established. 1st. It was to refuse bills created collusively between signers, without cause or real value; 2d. it was to acknowledge in the holder of stock no particular right to discount, in proportion to their stock; 3d. it was to hold itself in readiness to pay all its notes on demand, regulate their emission upon those obligations and the violation of the two former brought on the violation of the latter, the most important.
The privileges of the bank are not granted for itself but for the general utility. It is not for the advantage of its stockholders, but for that of trade and of the state, that it has alone the right of swelling, for its profit, the mass of its capital by circulating notes. Thus every measure had been taken in the law to make commerce participate in the discount and the central committee by the law, was to draw up the general schedule of all those who might be admitted, and consequently to regulate their proportion.
Instead of having a schedule of persons who wished to discount, in proportion to their credit, and conforming to it religiously, or, if you will, instead of comprising in it only tradesmen, bankers or merchants whose effects were intended to furnish real values and for effective commercial transactions, they received in a proportion often indefinite, bills of circulation, bills collusively signed among a small number of houses. Once engaged with them, the interest of the bank, mistaken without doubt, let its administration permit the renewal, the increase of that fatal circulation. Thus, real commerce suffered. Thus privileged persons who wished to discount appropriated to themselves, at the moderate rate of six per cent. the greater part of the specie or notes in circulation; and the true bills of commerce rejected or stagnant in the pocket-book of the merchant, the shopkeeper and the manufacturer, left their holders at the mercy of all the banking pedlars, who resold to them or to the state, and at the highest price what they had obtained at the ordinary rate of discount at the bank. And when I call pretended bankers those who devoted themselves to such a traffic, my intentions is to place in a more striking point of view the distinction between them and those who nobly exercise a useful profession.
The true banker, a model of order, fidelity and prudence, does not enter into hazardous speculations which too often place those who give way to them between fortune and shame; he does not trifle with the honor of his signature. A punctual and respected correspondent of foreign and interior commerce, he assists it by his credit and facilitates its negotiations; by adding to the rapidity of the circulation, he multiplies the means of exchange; he insures and increases the profits of the manufacturer, and contributes to the prosperity of commerce and the state. It is not such men who can be reproached with having contributed to fill the port folio of the bank with those reprov'd effects which left no place for those for which the law had entirely reserved it. They are not accomplices or participators in the first violation of the laws or statutes of the bank of France.
This first violation of the rules prescribed to the administration for the admission of discount, was naturally followed by a second; when discount was no longer granted on a scale of credit justly established, it became necessary to have recourse to another basis. This has been taken in the number of shares which each person wishing to discount possessed or was held to possess, notwithstanding this proportionate admission to discount was formally prohibited by the law passed in Germinal, year 11, art. 7, and that a paragraph of the Statutes admits shares only in the room of a third signature, and under the liability of being transferred to the bank account as a guarantee.
Thus on one side the tradesman whose capital was entirely employed in his business, who possessed only merchandise or good bills, was excluded from discount, because he had not sufficient to become really a holder, and possessed too much probity to become a fictitious holder.
But on the other hand, every one had not the same delicacy. Thus a man whose affairs were embarrassed, might acquire shares, get discounts made in proportion to the number, and nevercheeks not have a single one belonging to him, and have put them in deposit in order to get funds.
Finally, the discount granted in pre-

portion to the share, produced another fatal effect. It interposed between the two classes of men who, possessing a certain number of shares, received at 6 cent. Anus which they sold always at a much higher rate than their advantageous according to circumstances and often exclusively dear. Their refusal the high price of shares in the bank, bought after, valued, purchased on the footing of the annual amount of the dividend, augmented on account of too many bills having been issued and of the increase of the accumulated reserve; a deceitful and little to be wished for increase, a means of stock-jobbing and consequently of ruin, an occasion of contempt for the prudent father of a family and a fatal attraction for the imprudent and hazardous man. There was also the exorbitant rate at which the interest was kept up of which the bank was no longer the regulator, because the bearer of true commercial bills was not admitted to discount them there since the bank received only him who had an interest to depress commercial effects, in order to obtain with more advantage, at a higher discount and thus the tradesman was forced to receive the law of this new kind of capitalisti.

WASHINGTON CITY. WEDNESDAY, JULY 16.
The U.S. Brig Argus, Captain Hull, arrived on Sunday in 39 days from Gibraltar—She brings no news of importance.
Yesterday the President of the U. S. attended by the heads of departments, visited the Argus, which was dressed on the occasion. A salute was fired on their going on board, and another on their departure. The state of this vessel indicated the utmost order and cleanliness, which is further evinced by her not having a sick man on board, although directly from the Mediterranean.
We understood that appearances in the Mediterranean are perfectly pacific towards the U. S. who are invariably treated with respect on all public occasions. As an evidence of this, it is said that commodore Rodgers was admitted by the Dey of Algiers to his presence with a sword by his side, a mark of respect hitherto unpaid to the representative of any foreign power.
The following gentlemen were on Monday last elected trustees of the Washington Academy by the City Council on their part.—The remaining six are to be chosen by the contributors on Monday next.
Thomas Jefferson, William Cranch, Nicholas King, Abraham Bradley, William Brent, Frederick May, Samuel Hanson of Samuel.
Augusta. The legislature of this state at their late session, have elected his excellency governor Milledge, Senator to Congress, and D. B. Mitchell, esq. major general of the first division of militia; the vacancies having been occasioned by death of general Jackson.
New-York, July 12. By the brig Hercules from Bordeaux, and the ship Brutus from Nantes, a regular file of Paris papers to the 25th of May is received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser. No political event of consequence having transpired, these papers contain very little intelligence worth translating. We learn from them, however, that all the difficulties which had taken place between France and Austria, relative to the occupation of the mouths of the Cattaro have been removed by the court of Petersburg having ordered them to be delivered up to the French conformable to the treaty of Presburgh.
The Venetian provinces have sent an extraordinary deputation to Paris, to take the oath of allegiance to the Emperor, and to bear testimony to the sentiments which animate the inhabitants of that country.
According to advices from Hamburg, of May 11th, the Swedes had begun the blockade of the Oder; and the English were going to close the mouths of the Vistula, the Pregel, and the Memel. A body of English troops was expected at Stralsund under command of Gen. Moore, who is to act under the orders of the king of Sweden.
An ambassador from the Ottoman Porte arrived at Paris on the 19th of May. No change had taken place in the constitution or form of government of the Batavian republic.
