ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named
BOB,
about 28 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath an impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good cloathing; a description of which is unnecessary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he absconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the discovery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.
Captain's of vessels, &c. are forewarned at their peril, not to take him away.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, January 5.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for the appoint- ment of a committee of enquiry into the official conduct of SAMUEL CHASE.
(Continued.)
Mr. G. W. Campbell. I will not at this late hour detain the house with the expres- sion of my ideas in detail. I am as desir- ous as any member of this house that the streams of justice should flow pure and unsullied, as on their purity depend the safety and liberties of the people of the U. States. But when we are about to enter into measures for preserving them clear, we owe it to ourselves to preserve order in our conduct, and to act in such a man- ner as we shall be able to justify to our constituents. Every member of this house on such an occasion ought to be as cautious in his proceedings as a judge in delivering his opinions; least while we are condem- ning the conduct of the judge, we ourselves go astray from our duty. For this reason I am against the adoption of a measure which may throw a censure upon a charac- ter invested by the United States with high authority, until I am convinced we have sufficient grounds for doing so. The res- olution on the table can have but one ob- ject, to wit: The direction of an enquiry whether sufficient evidence can be procur- ed to authorize an impeachment. I con- ceive that this house cannot proceed in any other way. I am therefore of opinion that before the vote for an enquiry there ought to be probable grounds that facts exist that authorise an impeachment, and that evi- dence can be procured of their existence. I am not prepared to say from any thing which has been adduced that such evidence does exist. I conceive that until probable grounds are shewn we ought not to autho- rise such a procedure, inasmuch as it may establish a precedent that we may hereaf- ter regret, a precedent which will put it in the power of any member to move and ob- tain an enquiry into the conduct of the Pre- sident, a judge, or any other officer under the government. Under these circum- stances I am not prepared to say this is the regular course of proceeding. I do not profess to have much knowledge of parlia- mentary proceedings, and have therefore waited before I expressed my opinions to hear such precedents as gentlemen could adduce. Having heard none, I conclude none exist.
I conceive that the act of this house in voting for a committee of enquiry is equi- valent to the expression of the opinion that they have evidence of the probable grounds of the guilt of the judge. The gentleman from Virginia has told us that the powers of this house are in some degree like those of a grand jury. I agree that they have all the powers of a grand jury; and it is on this ground that I deny the power now con- tended for. I say that a grand jury has no right to send for testimony. They have only a right to receive testimony from any one of their body, and to receive such wit- nesses as the court may send them. If then there be evidence in the present case, let us act upon it, even though it be ex parte , and although that might, perhaps, be going too far.
I repeat it, I have heard no statement, satisfactory to my mind, that there are pre- bable grounds for proceeding in this busi- ness. It is true, the gentleman from Penn- sylvania has made a statement; but that statement appears to me to depend not so much on facts as on opinions; and it is not my wish to decide on the propriety of the conduct of the judge until the facts are be- fore us. It is certain that a judge has a right to control counsel, and to say when his mind is made up, while it is also his duty to hear the allegations that shall be made.
In addition to these reasons for a post- ponement I am also in favor of it, because whenever a sincere desire exists to gain in- formation, which can only be done by al- lowing further time, I shall always be in favor of it, when no material injury can re- sult from the indulgence.
Mr. Mott. I am in favor of the post- ponement, because I wish time for consi- deration, and because I am against the re- solution itself. I think it is improper to go into such an enquiry before specific charges are laid before the house, when it will be proper for the house to consider
whether those charges are sufficient to sus- tain an impeachment; then it will be pro- per to proceed, and not till then. No charges have yet been laid before the house, we have only been told by one member that he is satisfied sufficient grounds ex- ist.
(To be Continued.)
NEW YORK, April 23.
A bet of a beaver hat was lately repeat- edly offered in New York, that James Cheetham would not be found in New York three months hence—The bet was not taken.
ELECTION BETS.
We are informed that the opponents to Mr. Burr, have been egregiously dup- ed by the vauntings of their leaders. It having been confidently & repeatedly assert- ed that he had not above fifty or a hundred friends in this city, they were induced to bet large amounts on different majorities for Mr. Lewis, in this city and county. —This has also been the case in various parts of the country, to which their circu- lar letters had been dispatched. The a- mount they will have to pay for their silly boastings, will be many thousand dollars.
Even should the aristocratic party gain the election it will be to most of the indi- viduals who compose it, a pretty expensive bargain; they have been betting on majori- ties from ten thousand down, and also in many instances very great odds. If Mr. Lewis does not exceed by 5 or 6000, it will be rather a serious matter for some of his friends to pay their losses.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.
The accounts received from Port au Prince, by the Commodore Barry, arrived at Charles- ton, confirm the former statement of the dreadful situ- ation of the unfortunate whites in that Island. On the 19th March a horrible massacre commenced at Port au Prince, which was continued four days during which, upwards of four hundred persons were killed. Dessalines had arrived there, on his way to St. Domingo, against which he was de- termined to bring all his forces; but as he ex- pressed himself, would leave no whites in his rear.
Captain Patterson, informs that a gentleman arrived at Gonaives on the 1st of April, who stated that 10 days previous, a general massacre of the whites had taken place at Port au Prince, and that the massacre was to be carried all over the southern department. The Americans were treated with great respect throughout all the Island, except at the Cape, where Chris- tophe inflicted the greatest cruelty upon every description, without regard to age or sex.
From the Havanna.
A Spanish gentleman passenger in the Eliza, 18 days from the Havanna states in confirmation of the account received via New York, that the French general Lavolet, demanded on loan, 200,000 dollars; but so large a demand could not be complied with, and they received of the government of Havanna only 50,000. The French were preparing an expedition for Hapa- niola with all possible dispatch.
The French privateers, many of which cruise without commissions are daily bringing in A- mericans; a schooner belonging to Philadelphia was carried in, and had taken from her 5000 dol- lars in specie.
BALTIMORE, April 30.
RAINBOW OF THE MOON.
On Friday morning last about half past 10 o'clock, a remarkable phenomenon was observed. The evening was cloudy, and the Moon had been up near an hour, when a Rainbow was discover, extending from North to West. It did not possess the colours of a Rainbow of the Sun, but had a milky appearance; its apparent diameter about 2 feet and an half—a few drops of rain fell, and shortly a cloud obscuring the light the Rainbow suddenly disappeared; the Thermometer stood then at 56 of Fe- renheit; its continuance was nearly twen- ty minutes; little or no wind prevailed at that time. This circumstance seems to prove the truth of the present theory of rainbows in an eminent degree, viz: that they are caused by the reflection of light upon the falling drops of rain.

“Constitution, at Syracuse, } Nov. 29th, 1803. }
“DEAR SIR,
“I am extremely happy to have it in my power to inform you something of the circumstances of the Dey of Algiers.
“He has in his treasury fifteen millions of dollars, army 20,000 horse and foot, has ransom from him, upon an averaged calculation, 1200 slaves annually, at 1500
hundred dollars each. Taxes, rents, trade, &c. between four and five million; ninety four thousand inhabitants in the city of Algiers—naval force four frigates, three brigs, two schooners, three zebec ships. The Dey received our consul, and the ut- most attention was paid him by the Dey's first officers; we believe the United States to be the most favored nation. He made us a handsome present of bullocks, sheep, poultry, and vegetables of every kind. “The British consul is ordered from Algiers; we are informed the Dey has a number of British subjects at labor.”

From the New York Mercantile Adver- tiser of the 30th ult. —By the ship Hope, captain Bray, we have received London pa- pers of the 16th of March, one day later than by former arrivals.
Exclusive of parliamentary proceeding, on a subject uninteresting to the greater part of our readers, the paper of the 16th con- tains only the price of stocks and the Bul- letin of the king's health.
The latter is conceived in these terms: “His Majesty continues to recover.” The former represents Consols at 57 to 57 1-2, and Omnium at 11-2 per cent. discount.
Moreau, it is said, has been very free of his remarks on the consular government. He lately observed that of the tree of liber- ty nothing was left but, l'écorce . This pun which implies either the bark or the Cor- sican , was of course not well relished at the Thuilleries, particularly as it was recom- mended by truth as well as by humor .
Capt. Dashwood, arrived at Boston from Bordeaux, informs that Moreau, was still in confinement, and that the commander of the Consular guards had also been ar- rested as an accomplice in the late conspi- racy, against the life of Bonaparte, and after a summary trial was immediately shot. Pichegrue and Moreau, it was expected would meet the same fate.

It is said that the Emperor of Russia has with royal bounty provided for a translation of the works of Tacitus into the Russian language. The Only translation we have seen is of L'Abbe d'Olivet's, of the thoughts of Cicero, for schools in Russia, and this certainly was a happy choice. The judicious selection was done into the Russian language, and printed in 1767.

Extract from the Secret Deliberations of the government of the Island of Hayti.
LIBERTY! INDEPENDENCE! or DEATH! THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL.
Considering that there still remains in the Island of Hayti, individuals who have contributed either by their guilty writings or by their sanguinary accusations to the drowning, suffocating, assassinating, hanging and shooting of more than 60,000 of our Brethren under the inhuman Government of Le Clerc and of Rochambeau.
Considering that every man who has dishonored human nature by prostituting himself with enthusiasm to the vile offices of informers and of executioners, ought to be classed with assassins and delivered up without remorse to the sword of justice; decrees as follow:
Article I.
Every commandant of a division shall cause to be arrested within their respective commands those persons who are or shall be known to have taken an active part in the different massacres and assassinations ordered by Le Clerc or Rochambeau.
Article II.
Before proceeding to the arrest of any individual (as it often happens that many are innocent who nevertheless may be strongly suspected) we order each commandant to make all necessary enquiries for procuring proofs; and above all not to confound with true and faithful reports, those denunciations too frequently suggested by hatred or envy.
Article III.
The names and surnames of persons executed shall be inscribed in a list and sent to the General in Chief, who will make them public. This measure is entered into in order to inform the nations of the world, that although we grant an asylum and protection to those who act candidly and friendly towards us, nothing shall ever turn our vengeance from those murderers, who have bathed themselves with pleasure in the blood of the innocent children of Hayti.
Article IV.
Every chief who, in contempt of the orders and unalterable will of the government shall sacrifice to his ambition, to his hatred, or to any other passion any individual whose guilt shall not have been previously well ascertained, and proved, shall undergo the same punishment which he shall have thus inflicted; and the property of every such unjust officer shall be confiscated; one half to the government and the other half to the relations of the innocent victim, if any there may be in the Island, at the time of his death.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 1804.
SIR, I have just read in your paper of the 4th inst. the following curious paragraph closing an "extract of a letter from a gentleman at Windsor to a friend at Westminster."
"Great exertions have been made by the the opposers of the amendment to prevent its passing the legislature of Vermont—The mails have been crowded for the last month with Tracy's Speech and letters from Mr. James Elliot, and the leading federalists at Washington, to influence members in their decision; but thank God, art, intrigue, and bank interest have proved unsuccessful, and the friends of liberty have achieved an honorable victory."
Against mere malice and envy I shall never descend to a vindication of my character; but falsehood should not pass unnoticed. It is not true that I "swelled the mail" or wrote "letters to influence the members in their decisions." I wrote, I believe, five letters to four members, all of whom I considered as far above my influence; those letters contained no elaborate arguments in support of my opinions, but were rather in the nature of apologies for a vote which I supposed those gentlemen would consider as extraordinary. I inclosed but one copy of Mr. Tracy's speech, and that was sent to a venerable friend in the council, who could not consider it as an attempt to influence his judgment. What is meant by coupling my name with the leading federalists in Congress, I know not: I can never change my principles, but I believe those to be the wisest republicans who wish to preserve the constitution. I have learned from members of the convention which formed that instrument, that it was a work of great difficulty to adjust the rights of large and small states. And I believe that if we should realize all the alterations of the constitution that are contemplated by men who are both able and honest, not one of the original constitutional rights of the small states would remain in existence.
I wish the republicans in your quarter had been so candid as to diffuse the information that Messrs. Varnum, Eustis, Bishop, and Seaver, of Massachusetts, Mr. Hodge of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Clay of Virginia, voted against the amendment as well as myself. Those gentlemen, and other republican members of both houses, so far from thinking that the amendment, in its present form, will "disappoint the ambitious hopes and blast the treasonable machinations of the base and unprincipled Catalines of our country," appear to remain unshaken in the opinion that it will be attended with very different consequences.
The words "art and intrigue" were undoubtedly intended to have some application to myself; with what justice the above statement of facts will shew. If it be art and intrigue to act independently and honestly; to prefer the dictates of conscience and the results of reflection, to the rage of party and the views of individuals; I shall still be guilty during the short period I shall remain in Congress. Although I made great sacrifices in yielding to the wishes of the people, sacrifices which I never can retrieve, sacrifices for which abuse is no very equitable remuneration, I should be happy to make still greater, were it in my power in order that the district might be better represented in the next Congress. There are many older and abler men in the district, to whom a public life would be much more pleasant than it is to me. When I shall return to the shades of retirement, I am certain that I shall never again sigh for political distinction, or envy the glory of the great.

From the Caledonian Mercury.
SIR, In your paper of the 8th September, I noticed a list of goods exported in the ship Fanny, from Greenock for New York, amounting to nigh a million of yards, chiefly muslins and printed calicoes, with a few other articles.
I have been at a good deal of pains to make out the amount of the cargo. After consulting with several manufacturers, I find its value may be estimated considerably above one hundred thousand pounds sterling; of this sum, upon the strictest investigation, the raw materials from which the goods were made would not cost this country above ten thousand pounds, so that no less than ninety thousand pounds sterling had been paid in wages to workmen for the Fanny's cargo. As the money for these goods will not be returned for eighteen months at least, (the Americans can take a very long credit) this points out the impossibility of other nations interfering with us they not having capitals sufficiently large to make such advances, independent of our knowledge of the manufacture and the immense and
excellent machinery, we enjoy. If the government would prohibit the exportation of our cotton yarns, there is every probability the trade of this country would be doubled. The expence of erecting cotton mills is immense, and foreigners do not possess an adequate knowledge of the art, independent of want of capital.

A NEW WHEAT.
The increasing ardor of the spirit of the gentlemen farmers of Ireland, has been exemplified in a very singular degree, at the cattle exhibition lately held in Dublin, by the unexampled demand for the new species of wheat which may be well considered a kind of phenomenon in the vegetable world. From its novelty in this country, it has not yet acquired any rank in any class of botanical classification, at least general known or alluded to; but its properties, if the future effects shall invariably answer the first experiments in this country, will amply compensate all the expences of its culture, as well as the original prime cost of the seed viz. ten guineas per stone.
The original seed imported by a servant of the late Thomas Whaley, esq. on that gentleman's Jarulafer expedition, was first taken notice of by a Mr. Doran, of Francis street, an eminent experimental farmer and distiller. That gentleman's account of the various branches of his experiment, as communicated to the numerous crowds of admiring spectators of the sample he produced at the exhibition at the Duke of Leinster's, stands critically as follows; he sowed two floors and a half of wheat, in the space of an haggard, at Clouffilla, in the county of Dublin, in August after a previous crop of vetches; this seed he had dibbled by two men and four children, the whole expence of labour amounting to no more than 7s. British; in the last reaping season, it exhibited stalks of seven feet in length bent considerably at the top by the weight—a bunch of ears on an average from 42 to 45 in number, on a stalk, and each ear containing generally from 150 to 190 large round grains of wheat, almost transparent through a film, resembling a skin or husk; its color only approaches the lands wheat so well known in this country. The stalks formed into reeds filled with a white pulp, from their strength towards the root, were forced to have been cut about two feet from the surface of the fil. The straw or rather reed, Mr. Doran had cut and served as a substitute for oats, on which cattle greedily feed and seemed to thrive on it as well as on their usual food. The general produce of the wheat, respecting the feed was far beyond any other wheat; on grinding, the proportion of bran respecting the flour, was three pounds of the former, to one barrel of the latter.

Literary Selections.
A man of a merely argumentative cast will read poetry as prose; will only regard the quantum it contains of solid reasoning; just as a clown attacks a desert, considering it as so much victuals, and regardless of those lively or emblematical declarations which the cook for many sleepless nights, has endeavored to bestow upon it.
An author who had studied well the human heart, and knew in what manner it is most likely to be operated upon, observes, in the character of guardian to a young lady, that having had women before under his care, he tremped at the approach of a man of sense who could talk upon trifles.
We see a world of pains taken and the best years of life spent in collecting a set of thoughts in a college, for the conduct of life; and after all, the man so qualified shall hesitate in his speech for a good suit of clothes, and want common sense before an agreeable woman.
He that can keep handsomely within rules and support the carriage of a companion to his mistress is much more likely to prevail, than he who lets her see that the whole relish of his life depends upon her. If possible, therefore, divert your mistress rather than sigh for her. The pleasant man she will desire for her own sake; but the languishing lover has nothing to hope from her but her pity.
To the Citizens of Alexandria:
The month of May having now commenced, new duties are required by law from many of you. A compliance with that law, by a punctual performance of what it enjoins, is required from all those persons to whom it applies; or otherwise it will become the painful duty of the subscriber, by application to the Mayor, to have the penalties for neglects enforced upon all delinquents.
That no person may have the plea of ignorance of the law, I herewith publish the 14th section of the Act, entitled "An Act to remove nuisances, preserve the health of the inhabitants of the town of Alexandria, and other purposes."
Sect. 14. Be it enacted, That the persons living on paved streets, shall clean the foot ways
opposite to the property they occupy, and shall moreover wash such foot ways, every Saturday from the first day of May to the last day of September, unless prevented by the weather; any inhabitant who shall not perform the said duties, shall for every neglect forfeit and pay thirty three cents. No person shall throw or cause to be thrown down from any waggon or other carriage, or in any other manner, any rubbish, litter or dirt, on any street, public lane or ally, and suffer the same to remain for more than twenty four hours, except in such quantities and in such places as may be allowed by the Superintendent of police: Provided that any person desirous of depositing on any street, materials for building, shall apply to the Superintendent of Police, who shall appoint a proper place, and assign a reasonable space for depositing said materials; wherever such offend herein shall forfeit and pay five dollars for each offence, and be subjected to the further penalty of one dollar, for every day such building materials shall so remain contrary to the provisions hereof.

ROBERT & JOHN GRAY HAVE JUST RECEIVED A large supply of Dr. Stoughton's GENUINE BITTERS,
THE happy effects, and superior efficacy of these bitters, can be testified by hundreds in Alexandria and its neighbourhood, during the prevailing sickness last summer. We believe that every person, who then persevered in regularly taking them, resisted the attacks of the fever. They brace the constitution, create appetite, assist digestion, and relieve the cholic; in short, in all complaints of the stomach and bowels they have been proved to be eminently efficacious. Hence, they resist malignant fevers, and are a preventive to the ague. A course of these bitters, begun now, may prove highly beneficial, as they will gradually prepare the system to undergo the danger of a sickly summer.
There are many counterfeits. Purchasers will please to observe that the genuine Stoughton's Bitters are sealed with the first letter of the Doctor's surname, and full directions pasted on each bottle. Tavern keepers and liquor stores, will find it to their advantage to use them, as from superior strength alone they may be considered to cost no more than the trash so often imposed upon them. They are also sold by Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol Hill, City of Washington; Mr. March, George Town, and Mr. A. Buck, Frederickburg. Also just received,

5,325 prizes 150,000 9,675 blanks—not two to a prize. 15,000 tickets at 10 dollars each, 150,000 N. B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent.
This lottery has been authorized by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake of the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
