15,000 tickets at 10 dollars each, 150,000 N. B. Prizes subject to a deduction of 15 per cent.
This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purposes 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 in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the 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 authorise it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
Richmond, March 2—tf Tickets to be had of Robert Pollard Esq. John Brockenbrough, jun. Wm. Price (Reg.) Samuel Pleasants, jun. and William Prichard.
ALL persons having claims against the estate of David Valenzin for maintaining and supporting him during his imprisonment or for defraying the expenses of his internment, will be pleased to transmit their accounts duly authenticated to the Secretary of the Navy, on or before the 10th day of July next.

SPEECH OF THE GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS, DELIVERED JUNE 5.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
The obligation which we have taken upon ourselves, to perform the public duties incumbent on us agreeably to the rules and regulations of the constitution, requires us, to protect our fellow citizens in the enjoyment of their lives, liberty and property; and demands of us an exact observance of the principles of the constitution, and a constant adherence to those of piety, justice, moderation, temperance, industry and frugality in the formation and execution of the laws necessary for the good administration of the commonwealth.
An impartial distribution of justice to all the people, is of the highest importance to preserve an equality among them; and enable them to enjoy that liberty which under the protection of law secures their lives and property; and to unite them more closely together and attach them more firmly to the state.
A people enjoy the most perfect civil liberty when the government under which they are placed is of their own choice; when they conform to laws which are enacted by themselves or their representatives; and when no duties are enjoined and no restrictions imposed by those laws which are not conducive to the general happiness.
It is obvious then that nothing is more opposite to liberty than licentiousness. Wherever there is liberty the people are subjects, not of men, but of the constitution and laws; for liberty consists in doing only what these permit. It forbids us to allow ourselves in any pursuits which are injurious to others, for if such permission was given to us it would also be indulged to them. It implies that within the limits of law and justice we may act according to our own choice and take such measures as we believe are conducive to our own happiness. The people therefore are free so long as they are under the restraint of equal and just laws: but their freedom is lost when the passions of men are unrestrained and the laws are violated with impunity. The reign of justice is then over, and there is an end of manners, liberty and virtue. To escape from this state of licentiousness, the people in some countries submit to the control of a single tyrant, because they think it more tolerable to have one tyrant than a thousand. In a free state therefore the citizens ought to be guarded against the attempts both of indolent men who from a mistaken zeal for liberty would introduce anarchy and confusion; and of ambitious men who assume the garb of patriotism and employ their talents to inflame the passions of the people and excite their contempt of decency and order.
Upon order the public happiness is founded; without it society is a state of violence; and to maintain it, is to restrain injustice and oppression; to guard the life and property of one man against outrage from another; to protect the simple and innocent from the attempts of artifice and fraud, and to produce such a state of tranquility that the most defenceless among the people may be safe under the protection of government.
The principle of equality among the citizens is recognised and established by the constitution. It is an equality of rights which ensures the same protection to each individual, and requires that all men of every description shall be amenable to justice. It results from equal government and impartial laws, when the way to honor and preferment is open to every one; and the pretensions of no citizen are limited except by the distinction of merit and capacity. But an equality of property never can exist until all men have the same faculties and are equal in prudence and industry; and even if they were perfectly similar these respects, still their property would be unequal, unless Providence should smile alike upon the labors of all and grant to every man an equal share of prosperity. The inequality of property therefore arises from the nature of things and not from any defect in the form or administration of government. All that the best government can do is to prevent that inequality which fraud, oppression or violence would produce: to encourage frugality, and as far as justice and the constitution will permit, to restrain luxury and profusion; and to protect
the lawful possessions of every man, so that each may enjoy the fruits of his labour in perfect security.
But though a spirit of equality is favorable to public happiness, an extreme degree of it is sometimes injurious and disgraceful. This happens when manners are exceedingly depraved, when upright magistrates are no longer respected, and parents and public instructors are treated with rudeness and intolence, when the child behaves himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable, and the natural and necessary distinctions in society are disregarded.
The terms liberty and equality, in their true and just import describe essential rights in a Republic, which ought to be assiduously preserved and cherished; but they are so liable to misconstruction and have been understood in such different senses that I presume you gentlemen will not think it unworthy of you to assist our fellow citizens in forming correct opinions concerning them. For if on these points they should entertain mistaken ideas, they might be in danger of losing substantial benefits by aiming at those which are imaginary.
In some nations the genius and habits of the people seem not to admit of a free government; they appear to be incapable of that just and reasonable obedience to the laws which is necessary in a free state. Few indeed have been wise enough to enjoy perfect liberty with moderation. How far the people of the United States are possessed of this wisdom must appear from the experiment they are now making, upon the issue of which, every thing that is valuable to us depends. You gentlemen, I have no doubt will be solicitous to contribute to its success by a faithful discharge of your duty. But all the efforts of legislative wisdom will not be sufficient without the aid of those institutions, which form the manners and morals of the people; and which tend to inspire them with veneration for the Supreme Being, with reverence for just authority and respect for themselves.
I have received a letter from the justices of the supreme judicial court, representing that the late act of the legislature making further provision in the judicial department, is highly interesting to them personally, and as it affects their official responsibility. That these considerations have induced on their part a critical examination of the arrangement of the terms of the court proposed by the act, and a consultation together upon the probable effects of the system in other views of it; the result of which is, a conviction that the arrangement is in a great degree impracticable, and that the operation of the system will not, in any degree proportionable to the inconveniences of it, promote the good intentions of the legislature for the more effectual administration of justice. They have also stated the system which upon consideration they believe most conducive to the security of the citizens; and in order to communicate their ideas with more precision and accuracy, they have transmitted to me two bills, which comprise the particulars of that system. The letter and the bills will be laid before you by the secretary; and I presume you will consider the subject with that degree of attention, which is due to the importance of it, and to the opinions of the magistrates by whom the alterations are proposed.
In the course of this year there will be an election of President and Vice-President of the United States, and it will be incumbent upon the legislature at the present session, to direct the manner in which the electors on the part of this state shall be appointed. But gentlemen, it is unnecessary to mention the particular subjects which now require your notice. They will occur to your reflection, and I am persuaded that you will attend to them with the fidelity and zeal which an enlightened love of your country inspires. For myself, I shall be solicitous to deserve the confidence with which the people have repeatedly honored me, by cooperating with you in such measures as shall tend to render the state respectable, to promote justice among our fellow citizens and to secure to them a life of quiet and tranquility.

NEW-ORLEANS, May 4.
COMMUNICATION.
Monday the 30th ultimo, being the anniversary of the cession of the province of Louisiana to the United States, was commemorated by the citizens of New Orleans, with unusual felicity and harmony: a gun from the fort announced the approach of this auspicious day, and immediately every American vessel in the harbor was decorated with the flag of the United States.
At eleven o'clock the members of the Municipality, and justices of the Court of Pleas, the Officers of the regular troops, the Captains of the respective vessels in port, and a numerous assembly of citizens and strangers waited on his Excellency Governor Claiborne, to tender him their congratulations on the return of this ever memorable day. Shortly after which the battalion of Orleans Volunteers, under the command of Major D'Orihere, marched in regular order along the street contiguous to the levee, saluted the governor as they passed, and marching around the square of the Principale, returned and formed a line in front of the Government House, where the whole corps was reviewed by his Excellency, who expressed great satisfaction at the promptitude with which they performed the various military evolutions.
His Excellency then retired, and after a short time, returned bearing a standard of the United States, beautifully adorned with the American Eagle, and other appropriate embellishments, the introduction of which occasioned the most profound silence in every direction. The vast crowd of citizens who filled and surrounded the Government House, impelled by sentiments of respect and veneration for the ensign of liberty, involuntarily saluted it by pulling off their hats and remaining uncovered during the whole of this interesting scene. His Excellency presented the standard with great dignity and becoming solemnity, to Major D'Orihere, and at the same time made a short but impressive speech to that officer, who immediately delivered a suitable reply—these it is hoped will be given to the public in their native form. Major D'Orihere committed the standard to Ensign Relf of the Orleans Rangers, senior ensign of the corps, who immediately displayed it in front of the battalion.
During this interesting ceremony, the favorite American tune YANKEE DOODLE, was played by the band of music attached to the army, and followed by a salute of seventeen guns from the fort. The respective companies were then dismissed, and repaired with a large concourse of citizens to the great hall in the Government House, where they partook of an elegant collation, with a variety of wines, prepared by his Excellency for the occasion, who being seated at the head of the table, gave the following toasts (to the best recollection of the writer,) which were drank amidst the acclamations of every person present:
Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States, author of the Declaration of Independence in '76, and faithful to its principles in 1804.
James Monroe and Robert R. Livingston, whose talents and virtues have so eminently contributed to the glory of our country and the extension of its empire.
The Constitution of the United States, may it be perpetual.
Louisiana, a young and promising daughter of the United States, may the principles which cement the American family, "grow with her growth, and strengthen with her strength."
The governor then withdrew from the Hall, when, by universal consent the following was given—
William C. C. Claiborne, Governor General of Louisiana.—9 cheers.
Several other volunteer toasts were then drank, and the company dispersed until the evening, when a splendid ball was given by his Excellency, which, (notwithstanding the rain that fell in the afternoon, and continued during the evening) was attended by above 100 ladies, whose brilliancy equalled any thing heretofore witnessed in this City: a more flattering evidence of female patriotism has never yet been displayed than by the fair daughters of Louisiana on this envied occasion, and surely it cannot fail of inspiring every son of freedom with new zeal in support of our happy constitution, and an earnest desire for the continuance of the present tranquility.
The cheerful and animating deportment of the Governor during the whole of this festival, excited the plaudits of every beholder, and like the powers of electricity diffused itself through every circle, so that the most perfect joy and hilarity prevailed without the intervention of a solitary chaim. To describe the sensations which arose with irresistible impetuosity in the breast of every spectator, at the moment when the first American standard was committed to the citizens of Louisiana, as a banner under which they might rally, and pledge a mutual vow, that no rud hand should ever tarnish it, is a task Herculean indeed, and to which language is totally inadequate. Suffice it to say, that every feature beamed with glowing pleasure, and every heart exulted in the triumph of liberty and justice.
I cannot omit mentioning, that the governor took occasion to express to the volunteers after they entered the Great Hall, the regret which he experienced, at not being able to present on this day a standard to the City Militia; he observed that the indisposition of Colonel Bellefaste, and Major Livaudais, preventing their attendance, he was for the present deprived of this satisfaction; he however would favor the volunteers with a sight of the banner, under which the City militia would glory to rally and would defend with their blood. The standard was then exhibited by his Excellency, amidst the acclamations of some hundreds of citizens.
We are indebted to Major D'Orihere, for copies of the following address and answer.
Address of Governor Claiborne to Major D'Orihere, on the presenting the standard of the United States.
"With peculiar pleasure, I present to the Orleans Volunteers, a standard of the United States of America, the choicest gift and the highest honor that I could confer, or they receive.
"To the battalion under your command, I commit this beloved ensign of our country, impressed with the fullest confidence, that in peace it will be cherished as the altar of their national pride, the sacred Symbol of Liberty, and that in war it will be surrendered only with their lives."
WILLIAM C. C. CLAIBORNE.
April 30th. 1804. To which Major D'Orihere made the following reply.
"Your Excellency will be pleased to permit the Battalion of Orleans Volunteers to express through me their sentiments of gratitude for the honor this day conferred, in presenting them with the standard of their country. In peace we will assemble to commemorate the national festivals of United America, under this standard—and in war if called to the field of Mars against the foes of our land and liberty, we will defend it to the last drop of our blood.

WASHINGTON CITY,
FRIDAY, JUNE 15.
Mr. LIVINGSTON having resigned the place of Minister Plenipotentiary to the French Republic, GENERAL ARMSTRONG, of New York, we understand, is appointed his successor.
Mr. THORNTON, Secretary of the British Legation, has left this City on his return to England.
GENERAL WILKINSON arrived in this City a few days since.
The Baron HOMBOLDT, accompanied by Mr. Bonpland and M. Montufar, left this city on Wednesday for Lancaster.
It is with much satisfaction we advise the public, that the Post Master General, has made contracts for the ESTABLISHMENT of a LINE of STAGES for the more safe conveyance of the mail, from this city to Chambersburg, and from Baltimore and Philadelphia to the same place, and from thence to Pittsburgh. This arrangement commences on the 1st of July.
Contracts have likewise been made for the establishment of a line of Stages from Richmond to Saxon, and from that place to Air Mount in Virginia, making a distance of 232 miles.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Michaelhausen, Consul of the United States, at Bremen, dated 17 March 1804.
The Duke of Oldenburg, whose dominions mostly surround the mouth of the river Elbe, has consented to have bony laid at its entrance, which in consequence have been sent down to day by the Chamber of commerce of this city. Pilots are directed to cruise near Wangerode, a small island in the North sea, in order to watch every vessel bound to the Elbe.
The Frigate CONSTELLATION the last vessel despatched for the Mediterranean service, left the Eastern Branch on the 11th instant.
As it is fit that public agents should receive censure, when their conduct merits it, so it is proper that they should receive a due share of commendation, when their actions entitle them to it. In noticing the departure of the last vessel of the squadron, we do not hesitate to say that the Navy Department has done its duty. Under the circumstances attending the expedition the nation had a right to expect promptness and energy. Facts will show that they have not been disappointed.
On the 1st of April 1804, the Frigate President of 44 guns, the frigates Congress and Constellation of 36 guns each, the Essex of 32 guns, and the John Adams armed on slide, lying in ordinary in the Eastern Branch, were put into commission. In consequence of the Captain and the Superintendent of the yard being engaged on a court of Enquiry, some of the members of the court, and others as witnesses, they were unable to attend to their respective ships until the 10th of April. From that day an unabating exertion was made to put the ships to sea, and the last of them left the Eastern Branch on the 11th instant, within a period of less than two months.
Let us compare the time consumed on this occasion, with that taken up with other equipments made in other ports of the United States.
On the 15th Feb. 1802, the Adams, lying in the harbour of New York, was put in commission, and we well recollect that it was an object with the government to send her to sea as early as she could be fitted out. Notwithstanding all the exertions that were used on this occasion to equip the Adams for sea, she was not prepared to sail till the 10th of Jan. 1803. The Adams is a small 32 gun frigate.
On the 14th May 1803, the Constitution, lying in the harbour of Boston, was put in commission—and every exertion was made to equip her for sea. She was not ready for sea, however, till the 14th Aug. 1803. The Constitution is a 44 gun frigate.
On the 21st May, 1803, the frigate Philadelphia, lying in the harbour of Philadelphia, was put in commission—and every exertion was used to equip her for sea. She was not ready however, till the 22nd July, 1803. The Philadelphia is a 40 gun ship.
From these facts it appears, that in New-York it took near four months to fit out a small 32 gun frigate; that in Boston it took three months to fit out one 44 gun ship; and that in Philadelphia it took more than two months to fit
out one 40 gun ship; while in the Eastern Branch, one 44 gun frigate, two 35 gun frigates, one 32 gun frigate and a frigate armed en flute, have been fitted out in less than two months from the time that their repairs commenced.
While on this subject, it may not be improper briefly to notice some other objections which have been urged against laying up our national ships in the Eastern Branch, which will show that they have arisen either from intentional misrepresentation, from ignorance, or from local prejudice.
The Eastern Branch is objected to on account of its great distance from the sea. It is true that the Eastern Branch is a considerable distance from the sea; but this very circumstance renders it less liable to the assaults of an enemy. If a place could have been selected, nearer the sea, possessed of all the advantages of the Eastern Branch, it ought to have been preferred for a national Dock Yard; but such a place cannot be named. The Eastern Branch furnishes a spacious and safe harbour, free from the worm, and directly under the eye and control of the government.
The navigation is alleged to be difficult. But this is not true. There are some difficulties; but they are comparatively trifling, and may be easily overcome.
The greatest difficulty in the navigation from the mouth of the Potomac to the anchoring ground in the Eastern Branch is near the mouth of the Branch, and gentlemen well acquainted with this difficulty say that it might be removed at a very small expense. On Mattawoman, the shoalest part of the channel of the Potomac from the mouth of the Eastern Branch, there is 22 feet water at half flood, and on Maryland point which is the next shoal in magnitude, 23 feet, the bottom is perfectly soft. This is water sufficient for the largest ship in our service with all her guns and water on board, and the bottoms of these shoals being left many feet down it is obvious that the depth of water upon them might be increased so as to be deep enough for a ship of the line, with guns, provision, water and all her stores on board.
These facts may be confidently presented to the public as a decisive vindication of the general government in making the Eastern Branch the principal depot of the Navy, and as conclusive evidence, arrived from experience, of the equality, if not superiority of this yard to all others in the United States. This statement might not have been made but for the numerous falsehoods lately circulated through the Union, and seized upon with avidity by local or party prejudice. It has been said that the Eastern Branch was universally selected for a naval site, and that the Navy department have been shamefully remiss in the discharge of their duty. Trusting to our unprejudiced discernment of our fellow-citizens, on this occasion, as on many others, we offer them facts. Possessed of these we confide in the correctness of their decision. Slander, disappointment and envy will, as long as the world endures, delight in detracting from merit; but the man who discharges his duty promptly and ably, may safely trust his character to the award of an enlightened people.
VIEW OF THE EXPORTS OF THE UNITED STATES.
(Continued.) TABLE II.
By the foregoing contrasted view it fully appears that the exports of DOMESTIC PRODUCTIONS for the last year, greatly exceed in quantity those of the year preceding. For instance the quantities of all the great staple articles, whose amount constitutes the mass of our exports have increased, in the following degrees, viz.
   Value. Dollars.     Alhes, pot and pearl 281 tons 38 000   Beef 16 414 bbls. 230 000   Biscuit and ship bread 13 400 do. 65 000   Corn, Indian 346 325 bushels 260 000   Cotton 13 704 543 lbs. 2 700 000   Cordage, &c.   maccati 101 101 lbs. 60 000   Flour 155 605 barrels 930 000   Fish, dried 20 916 quintals 80 000   Faxseed 156 101 bushels 250 000   Ginseng 183 069 lbs. 60 000   Hops 844 607 lbs. 84 000   Oil, spermacetti 46 984 gallons 60 000   Whale, &c. 170 559 do. 90 000   Pork 18 363 barrels 270 000   Rice 2 016 decres 35 000   Rye 46 261 bushels 32 000   Skins and furs 216 337   Tobacco 8 570 blds. 540 000   Tar, barrels 41 493 barrels 90 000   Turpentine 22 414 do. 79 000   Wheat 406 134 bushels 450 000   Oak bark and other dyes 125 131   It does not distinctly appear what difference there is in the exports  
tions of Rye, Indian, buckwheat and oatmeal, as the measurement of one year is in bushels, and of the other in barrels, but the increase is estimated at 254 000
7,010,468 We have estimated the relative increase and decrease of the other articles, by which it appears that in the gross, a diminution has taken place in them to the amount of above 500,000 dollars, which taken from the above sum, leaves 6,410,468. The amount of the increased value of Exports for the last year above the preceding.
It will be perceived that there is a difference of about 400,000 dollars between this sum and the balance struck by the official statement of the Treasury department. This arises from the above valuation having been made on the basis of the present prices.
   TABLE III.   Comparative view of the aggregate Exports from the United States for the two last years.     The aggregate value of exports for one year previous to October 1, 1802 were 71,957,144   The aggregate value of exports for the year previous to October 1, 1803 were 55,800,033  
Diminution in value the last year 16,157,111
Of the above aggregate value the Exports of Domestic productions for the year ending the 1st of Oct. 1802 were 36,182,173
And for the year ending Oct. 1, 1803 42,205,961
Increase in value the last year 6,023,798
Of the above aggregate value, the Exports of Foreign productions for the year ending October 1, 1802, were 35,774,971
And for the year ending October 1, 1803 13,594,072
Diminution in value the last year 22,180,899
It will be noticed that the diminution of the amount of exported foreign productions, arises from the loss of a large portion of the carrying trade we enjoyed during the period of war.
NEW SERIES OF FEDERAL MISREPRESENTATIONS.
No. XIII.
The following extracts are made from Relf's Philadelphia Gazette:
"The late conspiracy in France has excited, from the Democratic prints of this country an almost united strain of indignation, and with some affecation of horror. No man of principle or understanding will pretend to vindicate acts of assassination; and no civilized government we are persuaded, would authorise or sanction such a species of hostility. The use we mean to make of the circumstance, as it has been represented, and the remarks which it has produced in this country, is merely to show the want of consistency and principle in that party who now declaim so piously about murder, assassination, and plots."
"The life and person of Bonaparte has suddenly become very sacred in the eyes of these creatures; but will it not be remembered by every reader of this article, that but a short time ago, these men instead of inveighing the First Consul with the holy panoply of regal right and power, were as audacious in invoking some murderer to impede his career, as they are now silly and impudent in railing at an alleged conspiracy to abridge his power! Yes, the Aurora and the National Intelligencer, (the governmental paper) after calling him tyrant, usurper, &c. emphatically exclaimed, 'Is there no Brutus in France?' such is the consistency of these men! such the correctness of their principles!"
"The motive for this conduct, however, is apparent in every word they utter on the subject, and that is, a dreadful hatred for Great Britain, and a desire, paramount to all principles of honesty and truth, to degrade her in the eyes of the world."
These assertions having been repelled by the Aurora, the Gazette commences, the next day, a paragraph, with the following words:
"The Aurora does not deny, that itself as well as Mr. Jefferson's paper
has openly invited the murder of the First Consul Bonaparte."
There is not a fact alleged in the above extracts, so far as it relates to the National Intelligencer, that is not false—That paper has not—

Manifested either indignation or horror at the late conspiracy in France—So far from indulging an expression of such feelings, it has preserved a perfect silence on this event; not from insensibility to its importance, but from the belief that the circumstances relating to it, which have been detailed, amply elucidate its origin, its nature and tendency.
2. Not a sentiment has been expressed about the sacredness of the life and person of Bonaparte—nor of the chief of any other European nation. The comparative importance of each is sufficiently appreciated without any commentary.
3. The National Intelligencer has never exclaimed, "Is there no Brutus in France?"
4. The National Intelligencer has never manifested a "dreadful hatred for Great Britain, and a desire to degrade her in the eyes of the world."—On the contrary, on several recent occasions it has taken a pleasure in indicating the sense entertained of her liberal spirit, as well as that of other European powers to this country.
After this exposure of bare faced falsehoods, as wanton as unprovoked, our readers will not be surprised at the rapid progress made by many of the leading federal prints (we do not mean to designate the Gazette as such) to the lowest point of debasement. It is a fact that the most respectable federalists, alarmed at the deplorable length to which slander is indulged in these prints, are fast withdrawing their subscriptions from them.
No. XII.
(Concluded.)
In describing the meeting, the Historian says, "the Delegates convened on an eminence, under the shade of trees; Col. Cook was appointed chairman, and Albert Gallatin, secretary. It was soon discovered that there were a number of inflammatory persons among the delegates, few of whom, however, had talents. Bradford opened the meeting, with a statement of the events that had taken place, and concluded with reading the letters that had been taken from the intercepted mail, with some inflammatory comments on them."
"At this time the arrival of commissioners from the President, with powers for restoring order in the western country, if a corresponding disposition was met with among the people, was announced to the meeting. After a short pause Colonel Marshall rose and expressed some satisfaction at the information of the arrival of Commissioners; but said that they should not, on that account, neglect the business of the meeting and read some resolutions that had been agreed on between Bradford and himself. The first resolution being against taking the citizens out of the vicinity for trial, occasioned no contest. The second and most important resolution runs in the following words: Resolved, That a standing committee be appointed to consist of members from each county, to be denominated a committee of public safety; whose duty it shall be to call forth the resources of the western country to repel any hostile attempts that may be made against the citizens or the body of the people."
"This compared with the subsequent resolution, prefaced the proceedings of the meeting by a direct question whether the western counties would raise the standard of rebellion or not. This was certainly a bold attempt to form a combination hostile to the government both of this state and the United States. If such a resolution had been offered, before such a number of persons had become desperate by being involved in the preceding riots, it would not have been heard with patience; but now it required both great address and fortitude to parry it. Fortunately there was among the delegates a man well qualified for this purpose. His fortitude was no doubt the greater, as he knew he was in no danger at home for what he might say here. I mean Mr. Gallatin, the secretary. He rose and began by criticising on the word hostility; asked what it meant, or from whence the hostilities were to come. He alleged, if it was the exertions of government that were designed to be opposed, the term was improper; the exertions of government on the citizens in support of the laws, being coercion
and not hostility. He encouraged them to expect no other means of coercion from government but through the judiciary; and, after a number of sensible observations, moved to refer the resolutions to a select committee. But so great was the prevailing panic, that notwithstanding the number of well-disposed members that were in the meeting, he was not seconded; after some delay, however, Marshall himself offered to withdraw the resolution, on condition that a committee of 60 should be appointed, with power to call a new meeting of the people or their deputies. This was instantly agreed to, and a new resolution was studiously modified, so as to ensure its adoption, and was agreed to by the meeting. In it a determination was expressed to support the state laws, and afford protection to the citizens. This was an important step towards the restoration of order; for at that time no man thought himself safe in many places in telling his real sentiments. Threats were not only circulated in anonymous letters, but were contained in mottoes on liberty poles. One was erected on the morning of the meeting, and within view of it. It was erected under the direction of one of those who signed the Braddock's field orders. The motto was: Liberty and no Excise, and no asylum for cowards and traitors. Every man was esteemed a coward or traitor, by those disorganizers, who disapproved of their measures."
"Mr. Gallatin had the fortitude to object to the exception against the excise, originally contained in the resolution for support of the municipal laws, and procured it to be struck out; but did not offer an affirmative resolution in favor of submitting to it. Indeed the doing so at this time would have been imprudent; nor would success, in such a resolution, have been of use, till submission to the municipal laws had been restored."
"In short the resolutions, being five in number, were discussed, and referred to a committee consisting of Bradford, Breckenridge, Gallatin and Herman Husband of B'ford, who new-modelled them before the next day's meeting, at which they passed without much difficulty. The committee of 60, or of one from each township, was appointed to meet at Redstone Old Fort, on the 24th of September, and a committee, consisting of twelve members, three from each of the four counties, was appointed to confer with the commissioners from the President. These, with one exception, (Bradford) were well chosen. They were also to confer with the commissioners on the part of the state of Pennsylvania, who, in their official letter to the Governor, dated August 22d, 1794, say, "we are acquainted personally with the committee of twelve, and think them well disposed." They conferred with both sets of Commissioners, and agreed to call together the committee of 60, and recommend an acquiescence in the terms of submission and amnesty offered by the commissioners. The committee of 60 were accordingly convened August 28th, to receive the report of the twelve Commissioners. But, the Historian adds, "circumstances conspired to intimidate the delegates to a degree inconsistent with that calmness and reflection necessary for deliberation. This was so evident, that some of those, who had the quieting of the country much at heart, hesitated about the propriety of attempting to support the report. Gallatin, however, was disposed to try it, and others agreed with him in making the attempt." Bradford urged to take the vote, and reject the report immediately. But an adjournment to the next day was obtained."
"The committee was opened, says the Historian, the next morning by a long, sensible, and eloquent speech by Mr. Gallatin. He alone would venture to open the business in this direct manner. In this speech, no motive to submission was left unexplained, nor any objection left unanswered." The result was, the report was adopted, and Bradford, the principal insurgent, retired in disgust and despair; the insurrection was suppressed, and order restored without the effusion of blood. In producing this result Mr. Gallatin's exertions and services were pre-eminent, as appears by the foregoing historical detail."
The circumstance of his having acted as one of the conference, in adjusting with the Commissioners of the state and of the United States on terms of an amnesty for the insurgents, and the restoration of order, is mentioned by Laco as a proof that he was guilty of the crime of insurrection. The reader will judge for himself whether such an inference can be drawn from the fact."
Secretary Hamilton used some very extraordinary, not to say dishonourable efforts to criminate him for his conduct in the course of the insurrection, particularly at the Parkinson's ferry meetings. One or two instances will be stated in the words of the Historian."
After the judiciary and part of the army had gone to the town of Washington, Major Powers, was invited by a polite letter, to wait on the secretary at that place, which was about 30 miles distant. When he arrived the secretary examined him about the conduct of

certain characters, with some of whom he was not acquainted, but particularly about the conduct of Mr. Gallatin, at the meeting at Parkinson's ferry, &c. On Maj. Powers not answering to his satisfaction, he complained of the difficulty of obtaining information, and advised Maj. Powers to retire an hour to refresh his memory, in order to be re-examined, and spoke to an officer present to conduct Major Powers into another chamber. In all this the Secretary appeared to treat him politely; but he was not a little surprised when he found himself thrust into a room among other prisoners, and there confined, under the point of the bayonet. This he thought an odd situation for cool recollection, if he had needed any. At the time appointed he was taken again into the presence of the Secretary, who asked if he had recollected himself so far as to give more satisfactory information. On being answered that he had nothing further to recollect, having already related all he knew, the Secretary then suddenly, assuming all his terrors, told Maj. Powers that he was surprised at him, that having the character of an honest man, he would not tell the truth, alleging that he had already proofs sufficient of the truth of what he knew he could testify, if he would.
After some further insulting language and threats, Maj. Powers was committed close prisoner under a military guard; and though the most unexceptionable bail was offered for permission to go to his family, it was refused, and he was marched under a military guard to Pittsburgh, and there detained till the eighth day after he was taken into custody. The Secretary being gone, the Judge [Peters] sent for Maj. Powers, and when he was brought into his presence, invited him politely to sit down, assuring him that he had no charge at all against him." 230.  "After both wings of the army had encamped in the vicinity of the Youghiogheny and Monongahela rivers, two of the Judges of Westmoreland county, Gen. Jack and Mr. Baird, men of very respectable characters, waited on the Secretary and the Judge, in order to be informed what offences it would be proper for the state magistrates to prosecute, agreeably to the Secretary's advice, which I communicated to one of them; but instead of consulting about the distribution of the prosecutions, as was expected, they were both strictly examined as witnesses against Mr. Gallatin and myself. They were urged to testify that Mr. Gallatin had expressed himself in a treasonable manner, at the first Parkinson's meeting; and when they denied having heard any such expressions, the Secretary altered that he had sufficient proofs of them already. They however persisted in asserting that they had been very attentive to his arguments at the meeting, and they stated the substance of them, and mentioned the abilities he had displayed, and the unremitting exertions he had made, on all proper occasions, to restore order, and to convince the citizens of the necessity of submitting to the laws; that his decision, talents and perseverance had contributed more to the restoration of order, than that of perhaps any other person, as he had been a member of all the meetings for that purpose and acted with decision, when several others thought it prudent, in many instances, to temporize, or were afraid to avow their sentiments." 240.  "After an inquisition, accompanied with the most illegal inducements to promote discovery, and notwithstanding the Secretary's repeated assertions to the contrary, that he was already possessed of proofs of criminality against Gallatin, &c. no testimony was found even to lay a foundation for suspicion," &c. "It is also known that though the whole people of the county of Fayette refused to sign the amnesty, and though a great proportion of the people of Westmoreland declined signing it, or varied the form of assurances, yet only three persons were sought after or taken prisoners from these two counties. Against two of them no bills were found, and the third whose character and fate is described in page 211, was a person of whom I had not the most distant knowledge, though he resided in the same county, about 20 miles distant. Smilie and Gallatin, living in Fayette county, of course did not sign the amnesty; and for particular reasons they would not have done it even if it had been proposed to them for that purpose," &c. "Nor was there any testimony found against Messrs. Smilie and Gallatin, but much was elicited in their favor." 281.
We need not the declaration of the Historian, that nothing could be produced against Mr. Gallatin. That is demonstrated by the issue. Secretary Hamilton had been the author and the administrator of the excise. That system, and the mode in which it was administered, were the occasion, whatever was the cause of the insurrection. His pride was wounded; his ambition was stimulated; and his resentment was keen. His friends and his enemies agree that he possesses great powers of mind, with strong political prejudices. He personally attended the examination of witnesses, and directed the prosecution
of offenders. He viewed Mr. Gallatin through the medium of party feelings, and saw in him an opponent not only of his own politics generally, but of his favorite system of excise in particular, and a most powerful and formidable rival. No man, who considers these circumstances, and has been proved that any ground of accusation against Mr. Gallatin had in fact existed, it would have been produced and proved. The extraordinary exertions of Secretary Hamilton and his political friends, for that purpose, although they failed of success, gave rise to the calumny, which for party uses was widely diffused by federal partisans, and has been revived by Laco, that Mr. Gallatin was guilty of the crime of insurrection, and received a pardon for it from President Washington; whereas the real truth is, that he rendered more eminent and meritorious services than any other man in restraining and suppressing the insurrection and restoring order and tranquility.

AUGUSTA, MAY 26.
The Legislature of this state being convened on the 12th inst. for the purpose of taking the amendment of the constitution into consideration, the same passed both houses unanimously, a convincing proof that the representatives of the people of Georgia, though a small state, apprehend not the least danger to their freedom or independence, by designating, who shall be President, and who Vice President of the United States.
An act intituled the Insurrection Act, has been passed by our legislature to punish any person or persons who may excite people of colour to insurrection, &c.
GOREE.
We lately mentioned the re-capture of the island of Goree by the British. We find the following notice of it in a Dublin paper of the 6th April. Published a few days previous to the account of the re-capture.
"The following description of the place, shews, that no effectual resistance could be offered to the debarkation of a force greater than the garrison in the proportion of 12 to 1; that the town was not tenable, when the heights were occupied by the enemy; and farther, that the want of water must have forced our people to surrender, even had they been in other respects competent to defence. Goree is a rock of a dark basaltic colour of about 1200 yards in length, not quite so wide, and very regular in its form; while from the nature of the ruins at its base, there is little doubt that it has been detached from Cape Verde by a volcanic revolution, at the time of the destruction of the ancient Abatis, which it is supposed, was once united to Africa."
"The rocky part of the island forms a large naked mass rising nearly 300 feet above the level of the sea, and occupying a surface of about 200 fathoms in length by 100 in breadth. At the top of this rock is a plain, containing 9450 square fathoms. The town occupies almost the whole of the low part of the island and is built on a firm sandy soil; mixed with a small quantity of vegetable earth which the inhabitants, who are principally free negroes, have at different times conveyed from the continent. The north point where the French landed is most accessible; it forms a natural mole, about 120 fathoms long by 30 wide; and its western point being a perpendicular escarpment, of the whole height of the rock, is totally inaccessible: the south and east sides also have a very steep declivity, the bottoms of which are defended by rocks that project into the sea. Indeed the natural advantages of this island are so great, that a few improvements, which must be evident to engineers, such as that of detaching, by explosion, the rock from the side next to the town, and adding some line of defence to its north point, and to the platform or plain at the top, would make it as impregnable as Gibraltar, particularly as it would command the whole range of the offing."
"At present, however, it cannot possibly stand a siege, as its only supply of water is derived from a little spring, situated at the foot of the rock on the east side, which does not afford more than two gallons a day, though there are two small reservoirs into which the rain-water is conducted, but which do not contain together more than 60 hogsheads. If this circumstance be known to the commanders who lately failed to reinforce our garrison in the island, there is no doubt that they might by a simple blockade, and an attempt which might be successfully made to cut off the spring above described, compel the present garrison to surrender."
[Of the circumstances attending the capture of Goree, by the French we have the following particulars, in a London paper.]
"The settlement was taken possession of, after a very desperate action, on the 17th of January, by the crews of six French privateers. The French commander, with 47 men were killed, and several wounded. The English had 20 men killed, Major Fraser, and the second in command, escaped on board. A Schooner cartel, having on board 150 French troops to garrison Goree, failed from Senegal on the 14th of Feb. to take on board Gen. Fraser and troops for England. The French landed with the bloody flag flying, and continued it till the end of the action; they fought from one o'clock p. m. till twelve p. m. The squadron which captured Goree (says another letter) consisted of one ship of 20 guns, 4 Schooners of 14, and one of two guns. They had 600 troops on board. Our force consisted only of 50 men under col. Fraser. The enemy landed on the 17th of January, and summoned the garrison to surrender, which was refused. The enemy then began the attack, which lasted for a considerable time: our troops defended themselves with great, but as was to be expected from the inferiority of our numbers, with unavailing gallantry. They were obliged at length to capitulate. The enemy lost 120 men: we had nine killed and three wounded. A French Schooner privateer was lost on Senegal Bar about the end of January. Several French privateers were scouring that coast. Dr. Hooble, surgeon to the garrison of Goree, is the only officer wounded; and it will be gratifying to his friends to hear that he is recovering. The garrison are prisoners of war, on parole till regularly exchanged. The French were in possession of the hill which commands the works, and the garrison left in possession of but one battery when they surrendered. Private property is secured."
In pursuance of an Act of Congress passed the 11th day of May 1802, entitled, "An act to abolish the board of Commissioners of the city of Washington, and for other purposes."
WE the undersigned have opened a book at Rhodes's tavern Pennsylvania avenue, for receiving subscriptions for opening the CANAL, to communicate from the Potomac river to the Eastern Branch thereof.
