Political Miscellany.
FROM THE WASHINGTON FEDERALIST.
No. II.
The constitution ordains that "the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such inferior courts as the congress may from time to time ordain or establish. The judges both of the supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices during good behavior and shall at stated times receive for their services a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office."
A prior section provides that all civil officers of the U. States shall be removable from office on impeachment.
At the last session of congress an act passed ordaining and establishing in each state circuit courts inferior to the supreme court. The judges who are to administer justice in these courts have been appointed, and, in conformity with the constitution, have received commissions during good behavior .
It is now contended that these judges are dependent on the will of congress, who may repeal the law, abolish the office, and discontinue the judge.
This is the opinion I mean to controvert.
The words of the constitution leave it in the discretion of the legislature to ordain and establish such inferior courts as, from time to time, their wisdom may suggest.
The reason of this is apparent. The situation of the United States, a country increasing beyond calculation, in population, in wealth, and resources, will continue to change. The necessity for inferior courts will very probably change with this change of situation, congress is rightly permitted to judge of this necessity, and from time to time to establish such courts; but when established, the judges, says the constitution, "shall hold their offices during good behavior." The constitution then has submitted to legislative discretion the establishment of the court, but not the permanence or independence of the judge. So soon as he is appointed, the constitution adopts him, and declares that he shall hold his office by the firm tenure of "good behavior." He is recognized by the constitution and becomes a judge under it, not merely by virtue of the law.
If it be possible to make this subject still more clear than it is in the charter of our government. I would attempt it by varying somewhat the expression of that instrument. Suppose, instead of ordaining that there should be a supreme court, the article had allowed still greater latitude to the legislature, and had declared that the judicial power of the United States should be vested in such courts as congress should from time to time ordain and establish, and that the judges of such courts should hold their offices during good behavior, could it have entered into the mind of any man to say that the provision for the permanence of the judge had been totally annulled by the power given to congress from time to time, to establish the courts? That, because the necessity for exercising the power of establishing courts was a continuing necessity, and consequently the power ought not to be terminated by the first exercise thereof nor the number of courts limited in the constitution, therefore the constitution was unable to provide for the independence of the judges, and the attempt made to do so by positively ordaining that they should hold their offices during good behavior , was a void and ineffectual attempt? This proposition would seem too absurd to be maintained, nor would it be less absurd to contend that by establishing absolutely a supreme court, the force of the clause declaring that the judges of the inferior courts "shall hold their offices during good behavior," is in any degree, impaired.
The letter of the constitution then which declares in terms of that "the judges both of the supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices during good behavior," is unaccompanied by other expressions which might give color to a construction hostile to the very words themselves.
If we examine the duties which must have been contemplated for the supreme and inferior courts, we shall perceive no reason, to admit the possibility of an intention varying from the words which have been used. The original jurisdiction of the supreme court extends only to "cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state
shall be party." The great residuary mass of jurisdiction involving life, personal liberty, reputation and property, is committed to the inferior courts; and the appeal to the supreme court is allowed "with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the congress shall make." The most interesting objects therefore may be decided ultimately by the inferior courts. Indeed, in cases of imprisonment, should an appeal from the judgment be always allowed, the punishment might often be suffered pending the appeal.
If then the motive for giving independence to the judges, be the security which that independence affords to the life, liberty and property of the citizen, that motive applies with peculiar force to these of the inferior courts.
But if the strange opinion that any discretionary agency of congress in the establishment of courts, over rules the positive and explicit regulation of the constitution concerning the tenure of office, is to be supported, it applies as well to the supreme as inferior court. The constitution, which declares that the judicial power shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such inferior courts as congress may establish, does not fix the number of judges who shall compose that court. The number is fixed by law; and that law may be repealed and the number reduced; so that according to this opinion all the judges of the United States would be removable by the repeal of the laws establishing the courts of which they are members.
But the continuance of the individual in office is not secured by that part of the article which declares, that "the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such inferior courts as congress shall from time to time ordain and establish." Had the article proceeded no farther, the exterior form of the system would indeed have been marked out, the parts to compose it would have been designated, but the rights of the individual would have been left to the discretion of the legislature. The judge might certainly have held his office at the will of the president or of congress, or in any other manner the law might have prescribed. It is the subsequent part of the article, ordaining that "the judges both of the supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices during good behavior," which constitutes their independence, and this plainly embraces the judges of the one court as well as of the other.
The right to permanence in office is then alike bestowed by the constitution on the judges of the supreme and inferior courts, and the inquiry is reduced to this naked question, do they really hold their offices during good behavior, or at the will of congress?
This question, if indeed it can without insult to the human judgment, be termed one, shall now receive a brief consideration.
The proposition that the constitution is the paramount law, and that it limits the powers of the legislature as well as that of the other departments of government is no longer a problem in the United States. Had the members of the legislature even not sworn to observe it, still they have no power as a legislature to pass the boundary it has marked out; and beyond its lines they are mere individuals.
The injunction of the constitution then is to be religiously observed, and we have only to enquire what that injunction is? For this we must resort to the instrument itself. The words are, "The judges both of the supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices during good behavior." If words are the fixed representatives of ideas; if they convey to the mind any distinct meaning, what idea, let me ask, is represented, what meaning is conveyed by the words "shall hold their offices during good behavior?" When they proceed from an authority which admits of no opposition, which cannot be disobeyed, they amount certainly to an exclusion of any other possible mode of terminating the office by the act of government, than by convicting the officer of a breach of good behavior. They "shall hold their offices during good behavior" is certainly equivalent to saying they shall hold their offices until they misbehave : and this imperative sentence will admit of the substitution of no other event for misbehavior, unless it be by an equivalent authority. If their offices may be terminated by the legislative will, expressed by the repeal of the law, or in any other manner, then they do not hold their offices during good behavior merely, but during the will of the legislature also.
But the words of the constitution do not admit of any additional condition encumbering the pure tenure of good behavior. They unequivocally exclude any other condition. The mind is irresistibly referred to the conduct of a person holding a commission during good behavior, as the sole standard by which his right to remain in office can be measured.

LATEST FROM EUROPE, From London Papers to the 23d of October two days later.
SURRENDER OF ALEXANDRIA!
LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. Downing Street, October 21, 1801.
A dispatch of which the following is a copy, was this day received (in duplicate) at one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state.
Head quarters, Camp before Alexandria, September 5, 1801.
MY LORD, I have now the satisfaction to inform your lordship that the fort and town of Alexandria have surrendered to his majesty's troops who, on the 2d instant, took possession of the entrenched camp the heights above Pompey's Pillar, the Redoubt de Bain, and the Fort Triangular. By the capitulation, the garrison are to be embarked for France in the course of ten days provided the shipping is in a state of preparation to receive them.
The operations against the enemy's works commenced on the 17th of August.
Major General Coote embarked with a strong corps on the Inundation in the night between the 16th and 17th of August. He effected his landing to the westward of Alexandria with little or no opposition, and immediately invested the strong Castle of Marabout, situated at the entrance of the western harbour of Alexandria.
On the east side of the town two attacks were made to get possession of some heights in front of the entrenched positions of the enemy. I entrusted the conduct of the attack against their right, to Major general Cradock; and that against their left to Major general Moore. These two officers perfectly executed my intentions, and performed the service committed to their care with much precision and ability. The action was neither obstinate or severe, and our loss is but small; but it afforded us more opportunity to display the promptness of British officers, and the heroism of British soldiers. A part of General Doyle's brigade, the 30th regiment (but under the immediate command of Col. Spencer) had taken possession of a hill in front of the enemy's right. General Menou, who was in person in that part of the French entrenched camp, directly opposite our post, ordered about 600 men to make a sortie, to drive us from our position. The enemy advanced in column with fixed bayonets and without firing a shot, till they got very close to the 30th regiment, to whom Col. Spencer gave an immediate order to charge, tho' they did not consist of more than 200 men; he was obeyed with a spirit and a determination worthy the highest panegyric. The enemy were driven back to their entrenchments with the greatest confusion. They had many killed and wounded, and several taken prisoners.
On the night between the 18th and 19th major-general Coote opened the batteries against the castle of Marabout; an attack was also made from the sea by several Turkish corvettes, and the launches and boats of the fleet, under the guidance of the honorable captain Cochrane; great perseverance and exertions were required to get up heavy guns thro' a difficult and almost impracticable country; but the troops executed this painful and arduous service with such zeal and continued firmness, that the fort capitulated in the night of the 21st; the garrison consisted of about one hundred and eighty men, and were commanded by a chief de brigade.
On the morning of the 22d, major-general Coote marched from Marabout to attack a strong corps posted in his front, in order to cover the approach of Alexandria; the management of that excellent officer appears to have been able and judicious, and were attended with the most complete success; he drove the enemy every where, though strongly posted, and in a country which opposed uncommon obstacles to the progress of troops. The French suffered extremely in the action, and retreated in much confusion, leaving their wounded and seven pieces of cannon behind them.
On the 24th, batteries were opened against the Redoubt de Bain; and on the
25th, at night, major-gen. Coote surprised the enemy's advanced posts, when seven officers and fifty men were taken prisoners; this service was gallantly performed by lieut. col. Smith, with the 1st battalion of the 20th regiment, and a small detachment of dragoons, under the orders of lieut. Kelly, of the 26th. The enemy endeavored to regain possession of the ground from which they had been driven, but were repulsed with loss.
On the morning of the 26th we opened four batteries on each side of the town against the entrenched camp of the French, which soon silenced their fire, and induced them to withdraw many of their guns.
On the 27th, in the evening, gen. Menou sent an aid-de-camp to request an armistice for three days, in order to give time to prepare a capitulation, which after some difficulties and delays was signed on the 2d of Sept.
I have the honor to inclose you a copy of the capitulation, and also a list of the number of persons for whom the enemy have required shipping; by this it appears, that the total of the garrison of Alexandria consisted of upwards of eight thousand soldiers, and one thousand three hundred sailors.
This arduous and important service has at length been brought to a conclusion. The exertions of individuals have been splendid and meritorious. I regret that the bounds of a dispatch will not allow me to specify the whole, or to mention the name of every person who has distinguished himself in the public service. I have received the greatest support and assistance from the general officers of the army. The conduct of troops of every description, has been exemplary in the highest degree; there has been much to applaud, and nothing to reprehend; their order and regularity in the camp, has been as conspicuous as their courage in the field. To the quarter-master-general, lieutenant-col. Anstruther, I owe much, for his unwearied industry and zeal in the public service, and for the aid, advice and co-operation, which he has at all times afforded me. Brigadier-general Lawson, who commanded the artillery, and captain Bryce, the chief engineer, have both great merit in their different departments. The local situation of Egypt, presents obstacles of a most serious kind to military operations on an extended scale. The skill and perseverance of those two officers have overcome difficulties which at first appeared almost insurmountable.
Lieutenant-colonel Lindenthal, who has always acted with the Turks, deserves my utmost acknowledgements; his activity and diligence have been unremitting, and he has introduced amongst them an order and regularity which does him the highest honor.
During the course of the long service on which we have been engaged, lord Keith has at all times given the most able assistance and counsel. The labor and fatigue of the navy have been continued and excessive; it has not been of one day, or of one week, but for months together. In the Bay of Aboukir, on the New-Inundation, and on the Nile, for one hundred and sixty miles, they have been employed without intermission, and have submitted to many privations with a cheerfulness highly creditable to them, and advantageous to the public service.
Sir Sidney Smith had originally the command of the seamen who landed from the fleet; he continued on shore till after the capture of Rosetta, and returned on board Le Tigre, a short time before the appearance of admiral Gantheaume's squadron on the coast. He was present in the three actions of the 8th, 13th and 21st of March, when he displayed that ardor of mind for the service of his country, and that noble intrepidity, for which he has been ever so conspicuous. Captain Stevenson, of the Europa, succeeded him, and I have every reason to be satisfied with his zeal and conduct. The crews of the gun-boats displayed great gallantry, under his guidance, in the new inundation; and much approbation is also due to the naval officers who acted under his orders.
Captain Pressland, of the Regulus, has had the direction for many months past of all Greek ships in our employment, and of those belonging to the commissaries. He has been active, zealous, and indefatigable, and merits my warmest approbation. I must therefore beg leave particularly to recommend this old and meritorious officer to your lordship's protection.
Allow me to express an humble hope, that the army of Egypt have gratified the

warmest wishes and expectations of their country. To them every thing is due, and to me nothing. It was my fate to succeed a man who created such a spirit, and established such a discipline amongst them, that little has been left for me to perform, except to follow his maxims, and to endeavor to imitate his conduct.
This dispatch will be delivered to your lordship by colonel Abercromby, an officer of considerable ability, and worthy of the great name which he bears. He will one day, I trust, emulate the virtue and talents of his never sufficiently to be lamented father.
I have the honor to be, &c.

Answer. Granted: provided that nothing be carried away belonging to the government of the French republic, but only the effects, baggage, and other articles belonging to the French and auxiliary soldiers, who have served during six months in the army of the republic; the same is to be understood of all individuals attached to the French army, by civil or military capacities, of whatever nation, country, or religion they may be.

Answer.—Refused. All vessels shall be delivered up as they are.
Art. VII.

Alexandria Advertiser.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 14.
Two days later news from Europe. Than has been before received in America, will be found in the preceding columns of this day's Advertiser, from London papers to the 23d of October, inclusive, received at New-York.
It appears that the garrison of Alexandria surrendered to gen. Hutchinson on the 2d September, consisting of 10,000 men. By the terms of the capitulation the forts and town of Alexandria were to be evacuated in ten days after the signing of the capitulation, and the embarkation of the garrison for France was to take place in the same period. The article which is now of most moment is the 6th in the order of those proposed, by the rejection of which and the following article, all the ships and vessels of the French and their allies, whether ships of war or merchantmen, both in Alexandria and that might arrive there after the capitulation, become prizes, and by the representation of both parties, the number of these must be very considerable. Nor are the French permitted to avail themselves of the fruits which their literature had with so much labor collected; and the Arabian manuscripts, statues and other collections made for the French Republic, are to be considered as public property. Hostages were to be given for the due observance of the treaty.
Parliament was prorogued to the 29th of October. Consols, 2d, rose from 63 3/4 to 69 3/4, for money. Omnium, from 23 3/4 to 25.

Masted, but not rigged.
Said by the builder to be 50 feet on the deck, 33 feet keel, 15 3/4 feet beam, 5 1/2 feet in the hold: he supposes she will carry 1000 bushels.

Bills negotiable in the bank of Alexandria will be received, payable in ninety days from the time they are given. Any person inclined to purchase, may apply at Cedar Grove, between Pohick and Ackatink creeks, where she may be seen.
