ART. 14th. As the government of the United States of America has, in itself, no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility of Musselman, and as the said states never have entered into any voluntary war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, except in the defence of their just rights to freely navigate the high seas, it is declared by the contracting parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two nations. And the consuls and agents of both nations respectively, shall have liberty to exercise his religion in his own house. All slaves of the same religion shall not be impeded in going to said consuls' at hours of prayer. The consuls shall have liberty and personal security, given them, to travel within the territories of each other both by land and sea, and shall not be prevented from going on board any vessel that they may think proper to visit. They shall have likewise the liberty to appoint their own drogeman and brokers.
ART. 15th. In case of any dispute arising, from the violation of any of the articles of this treaty, no appeal shall be made to arms; nor shall war be declared on any pretext whatever; but if the consul residing at the place where the dispute shall happen, shall not be able to settle the same, the government of that country shall state their grievances in writing, and transmit it to the government of the other; and the period of twelve calendar months shall be allowed for answers to be returned; during which time no act of hostility shall be permitted by either party; and in case the grievances are not redressed, and a war should be the event, the consuls and citizens, or subjects of both parties reciprocally, shall be permitted to embark with their effects unmolested, on board of what vessel or vessels they shall think proper.
ART. 16th. If in the fluctuation of human events, a war should break out between the two nations, the prisoners captured by either party shall not be made slaves, but shall be exchanged rank for rank. And if their should be a deficiency on either side, it shall be made up by the payment of five hundred Spanish dollars for each captain, three hundred dollars for each mate and supercargo, and one hundred Spanish dollars for each seaman so wanting. And it is agreed that prisoners shall be exchanged in twelve months from the time of their capture; and that the exchange may be effected by any private individual legally authorised by either of the parties.
ART. 17th. If any of the Barbary states, or other powers, at war with the United States of America, shall capture any American vessel, and send her into any of the ports of the Regency of Tripoli, they shall not be permitted to sell her, but shall be obliged to depart the port, on procuring the requisite supplies of provisions; and no duties shall be exacted on the sale of prizes, captured by the vessels sailing under the flag of the United States of America, when brought into any port in the Regency of Tripoli.
ART. 18th. If any of the citizens of the United States, or any persons under their protection, shall have any disputes with each other, the consul shall decide between the parties, and whenever the consul shall require any aid or assistance from the government of Tripoli to enforce his decisions, it shall immediately be granted to him, and if any disputes shall arise between any citizen of the United States, and the citizens or subjects of any other nation having a consul or agent in Tripoli; such disputes shall be settled by the consuls or agents of the respective nations.
ART. 19th. If a citizen of the United States should kill or wound a Tripoline, or, on the contrary, if a Tripoline should kill or wound a citizen of the United States, the law of the country shall take place, and equal justice shall be rendered, the consul assisting at the trial, and if any delinquent shall make his escape, the consul shall not be answerable for him in any manner whatever.
ART. 20th. Should any of the citizens of the United States of America, die within the limits of the Regency of Tripoli, the Bashaw and his subjects shall not interfere with the property of the deceased, but it shall be under the immediate direction of the consul, unless otherwise disposed of by will. Should there be no consul, the effects shall be deposited in the hands of some person worthy of trust, until the party shall appear who has a right to demand them, when they shall render an account of the property. Neither shall the Bashaw or his subjects give hindrance in the execution of any will that may appear.

CHASE'S TRIAL.
This day is Published.
By SAMUEL H. SMITH. TRIAL
OF SAMUEL CHASE, AN ASSOCIATE JUSTICE of the Supreme Court of the United States, IMPEACHED By the House of Representatives, for HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, before the Senate of the United States.
Taken in short hand, By SAMUEL H. SMITH & THOMAS LLOYD.
In Two large Octavo Volumes—in Boards, price—two subscribers four dollars and a half—and to non subscribers five dollars.
A much greater delay has been incurred in the publication of this trial than the Editor contemplated. He has, however, the satisfaction of saying that no effort has been omitted by him to give it to the public at an earlier period. The delay has arisen from the revision of the speeches of the Managers and Counsel. The publication might long since have been made in a less perfect dress; but it was deemed highly desirable that in a case, which, independently of its own importance, might have precedent in future times, to facilitate time rather than precision. The work now appears before the public, with the expeditious of the Editor that it will be considered as meriting the character of an impartial, comprehensive and faithful statement of facts. All the speeches have been revised, and inserted at length, in connection with whatever else formed a part of the trial.
Editors of other prints will confer a benefit by inserting this advertisement a few times in their papers.

THE SUPERB BARRB, THE BLACK SULTAN,
PRESENTED by the Bey of Tunis, to the government of the United States, and lately brought to this country by the Tunisian ambassador will find the ensuing season at PETSWORTH, the farm of JOHN TAYLOR, Esq. near Rock Creek church, and within two miles of the city of Washington, where Mares from a distance will be produced at 40 cents per week, and fed if desired at the market price. The Royal present being one of the most choice animals of the Regency of Tunis and full fifteen hands high, a desire has prevailed that its value as a race should be extended as much as possible; it has therefore been directed that he be placed at a low price; he will consequently stand at TWENTY DOLLARS the season, which will begin immediately, and end on the first of August; or at before which time the price of the season will be dischargeable by SIXTEEN DOLLARS, with a DOLLAR to the Groom when the Mare is lent.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS a treaty between the United States of America and the Bashaw of Tripoli was concluded and signed on the 4th day of June, 1805, and was duly ratified and confirmed by the President of the United States on the 17th day of this present month, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, which treaty is in the words following, to wit:
TREATY
Of Peace and amity, between the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the BASHAW, BEY and SUBJECTS of TRIPOLI, IN BARBARY.
ARTICLE 1st. There shall be, from the conclusion of this treaty, a firm, inviolable and universal peace, and a sincere friendship between the President and citizens of the United States of America, on the one part, and the Bashaw, Bey and subjects of the Regency of Tripoli, in Barbary, on the other, made by the free consent of both parties, and on the terms of the most favored nation. And if either party shall hereafter grant to any other nation, any particular favor, or privilege in navigation or commerce, it shall immediately become common to the other party, freely, where it is freely granted to such other nation; but where the grant is conditional, it shall be at the option of the contracting parties to accept, alter or reject such conditions in such manner as shall be most conducive to their respective interests.
ART. 2nd. The Bashaw of Tripoli shall deliver up to the American squadron now off Tripoli, all the Americans in his possession; and all the subjects of the Bashaw of Tripoli, now in the power of the United States of America, shall be delivered up to him; and as the number of Americans in possession of the Bashaw of Tripoli, amount to three hundred persons, more or less, and the number of Tripoline subjects in the power of the Americans, to about one hundred, more or less, the Bashaw of Tripoli shall receive from the United States of America, the sum of sixty thousand dollars, as a payment for the difference between the prisoners herein mentioned.
ART. 3rd. All the forces of the United States, which have been, or may be in hostility against the Bashaw of Tripoli, in the province of Derne, or elsewhere within the dominions of the said Bashaw, shall be withdrawn therefrom, and no supplies shall be given by or in behalf of the said United States, during the continuance of this peace, to any of the subjects of the said Bashaw, who may be in hostility against him, in any part of his dominions; and the Americans will use all means in their power to persuade the brother of the said Bashaw, who has co-operated with them at Derne, &c. to withdraw from the territory of the said Bashaw of Tripoli; but will not use any force, or improper means to effect that object, and in case he should withdraw himself as aforesaid, the Bashaw engages to deliver up to him, his wife and children now in his power.
ART. 4th. If any goods belonging to any nation, with which either of the parties are at war, should be loaded on board vessels, belonging to the other party, they shall pass free and unmolested,
and no attempts shall be made to take or detain them.
ART. 5th. If any citizens or subjects with their effects, belonging to either party, shall be found on board a prize vessel, taken from an enemy by the other party, such citizens or subjects shall be liberated immediately, and their effects so captured shall be restored to their lawful owners, or their agents.
ART. 6th. Proper passports shall immediately be given to the vessels of both the contracting parties, on condition, that the vessels of war belonging to the Regency of Tripoli, on meeting with merchant vessels, belonging to citizens of the United States of America, shall not be permitted to visit them with more than two persons, besides the rowers; these two only shall be permitted to go on board, without first obtaining leave from the commander of said vessel, who shall compare the passport and immediately permit said vessel to proceed on her voyage; and should any of the said subjects of Tripoli, insult or molest the commander or any other person on board a vessel so visited, or plunder any of the property contained in her, on complaint being made by the consul of the United States of America resident at Tripoli, and on his producing sufficient proof to substantiate the fact, the commander or Rais of said Tripoline ship or vessel of war, as well as the offenders shall be punished in the most exemplary manner. All vessels of war belonging to the United States of America, on meeting with a cruiser belonging to the Regency of Tripoli, on having seen her passport and certificate from the consul of the United States of America residing in the Regency, shall permit her to proceed on her cruise unmolested, and without detention.

INFORMATION TO TRAVELLERS. THE subscribers beg leave to inform the public that on the first day of April next, a new, expeditious and convenient LINE OF STAGES, will be established between the cities of Philadelphia and Washington—to run in the following order of time and place:
A stage, with the mail, will leave Brenton's tavern, in Wilmington, every Monday and Wednesday, at 5 o'clock A. M. and arrive at Chester town early in the evening on the same day.
A stage with the mail, will leave Chester town on every Tuesday and Thursday, at 5 o'clock A. M. and arrive at Rock Hall by early breakfast.
A comfortable and fast sailing packet, with the mail, will leave Rock Hall on every Tuesday and Thursday, at 8 o'clock A. M. and arrive at Annapolis, with a favorable wind, in the course of two and a half hours, at any rate in the course of the same day.
A stage with the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware mails, will leave Annapolis on Wednesdays and Fridays, and arrive at Washington and George-town on the same days.
The stage will leave McLaughlin's hotel in George-town, and Stetel's in Washington, on every Thursday and Sunday, at 5 o'clock A. M. and arrive at Annapolis on the same days.
A packet will leave Annapolis on Mondays and Fridays, at 8 o'clock A. M. and arrive at Rock Hall on the same days, in time to proceed on to Chester town on the same evening.
The stage will leave Chester town on Tuesdays and Saturdays, at 5 o'clock A. M. and arrive at Wilmington on the same days; from whence a stage runs to Philadelphia every day.
One of the subscribers likewise begs leave to inform the public that he is now established at the ancient and well known ferry, Rock Hall, and has provided good, safe and commodious packets, fitted up in the neatest manner for the accommodation of passengers: that a large and comfortable packet will leave Rock Hall, for Baltimore on the same days that the mail crosses to Annapolis, Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 9 o'clock A. M. and will leave Baltimore, from the lower end of Rowly's wharf, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, at 9 o'clock A. M. for Rock Hall. Each of the above packets are well calculated for the conveyance of horses and carriages. Horses and carriages will always be in readiness for the conveyance of passengers on their arrival at Rock Hall, to whatever place they may wish to proceed, in any neighboring part of the country, or on to Chester town, from whence they may be conveyed to the northward or southward, by the regular line of stages; and that the Annapolis packet will leave Annapolis on Wednesdays for Rock Hall, and will leave Rock Hall on Sundays for Annapolis, besides the regular day of carrying the mail, as above mentioned. He also flatters himself, that from his experience in maritime pursuits and the confidence placed in him by many of the most respectable merchants in Baltimore, whilst following the sea faring life, that he has a competent knowledge to keep his boats in good order, for the comfort and convenience of passengers, and that he shall merit the patronage of a generous public, which he hereby respectfully solicits.
It is unnecessary to make any comments on the advantages which entitles this route to a preference, to that round the waters of the Chesapeake bay. This affords a safe dry road, through a beautiful, level, and fertile country, from the Delaware state to the seat of government, whilst the other presents one continual scene of hills and valleys, generally filled with water and mire. Travellers on this route will not only derive advantage from good roads, shortening the distance, and incurring less expense, but will avoid the danger of injuring their health, by not being exposed to travelling by night.

TO THE NORTH CAROLINA GOLD MINE COMPANY. WITHIN these few days the following certificates have been received in the city of Washington, relative to the lands deeded to the North Carolina Gold Mine Company.
This may certify to whom it may concern, that J. Jacob Watts, of Montgomery county, in pursuance of a request of John K. Carson, did take a pan and make search for gold in one of the runs, viz. Rock Hole, on the lands formerly the property of Thomas Carson, deceased, and in the course of half an hour, out of the loess gravel did take a quantity of particles of pure gold, which I have delivered to said Carson supposed to be worth the half of a dollar or more.
Witness my hand. JACOB-WATTS. J. Brooks, J. P. WE, the subscribers hereto, do certify to whom it may concern, that we have examined several of the runs, on the lands lately the property of col. Thomas Carson, deceased, agreeable to the request of Mr. Carson, for the purpose of finding gold, and in those that we have had an opportunity of examining, we have never failed to find particles of gold of the pure virgin kind (as found in the mines of Reed, Poyer, and in this neighborhood.) We never have had an opportunity of making any more than a mere superficial search, for the want of convenient means, having no way to make the same, except with a pan, and the top gravel being all we could come at; but do suppose, from our knowledge of the other mines in this vicinity, that to produce considerable quantities, that if those branches were as well worked, they would turn out to advantage. We have not had an opportunity of searching any of the branches or creeks of said lands, except those immediately in our neighborhood, as the lands belonging to the estate of the said deceased (or which formerly belonged thereto,) extend a considerable distance down Rocky river, between that and the Yadkin, interspersed with a number of creeks and branches, in which the probability of finding gold is as great, by reason of a mine belonging to the widow Parker and heirs being on the opposite extreme, which has produced much pure gold. The said lands produce most excellent grass range for stock, & that which was purchased of said col. Thos. Carson, by different persons, in different parts of the same land, and has been properly cultivated, has been found to answer for the production of the different kinds of produce of this country, as well as other lands in this neighborhood. The produce of this part of the country consists of cotton, corn, wheat, and the different small grains, & some tobacco; the growth on said lands is the same with the common growth of the country here, viz. oats, hickories, pines, &c. &c.
In testimony of which, we have hereunto set our hands in presence of John Brooks, Esq., one of our justices of peace for this our county of Montgomery.
ELIAS BORN, Cucumber Creek, JACOB CAGLE, Branch of Island creek, ANDREWS STROW, Island creek, WILLIAM JOHNSTON, DEMCEY JONESQUILL, PAUL DANIEL, Branch of Island creek, CHRISTOPHER OSBORN, Branch of Rock Hole creek, WILLIAM LONG, Rock Hole Creek. THOMAS CROTON, MOSES OSBORN, JACOB WATTS, THOMAS BLACK, one of the head branches of Rock Hole creek.
I do hereby certify, that the subscribers above, did of their own accord and free will, sign their names in my presence to the foregoing instrument:—I do further certify, that they are all citizens of the county, and gentlemen of my acquaintance, in whom confidence may be placed; and further, that the matters contained in the foregoing certificate are facts that have come under my own knowledge and observation, and therefore do assert them as facts.
J. Brooks, J. P. State of North Carolina, Montgomery county, } (L. S.) I do hereby certify, that the within named John Brooks, Esq. is one of the acting justices of the county aforesaid, and due credit ought to be paid to his signature as such.
Civen under my hand and the seal of our said county Done at my office, the 11th day of March, Anno Domini, and in the 30th year of the independence. John Davidson, C. C. C.
The following is extracted from a letter written by Mr. Richard Brandon, of Concord North Carolina.
In the widow Parker's mine they have picked up a pint of gold within three or four weeks. I saw the greatest part of it myself, one piece weighing nearly two ounces and a half perfectly clear of sand & dirt. Mrs. Parker will mention no price at which her land may be purchased. From Parker's I travelled towards Mr. Reed's mine, attentively observing every branch. They every one appear to contain gold, and in my opinion some of them equal either Reed's or Parker's. A Mr. Gray in this route, informed me, that in an evening shortly before, he took his matchet and pan, went to a branch, and in a little time found to the amount of several pennyweights. The tract of country I have informed belonged to the estate of the late col. Thomas Carson, deceased.
We, the subscribers, being appointed by William Thornton, of the city of Washington, the trustees of certain lands in the state of North Carolina, for the use of the North Carolina Gold Mine Company, having duly examined the original grants from the said state of North Carolina to different individuals, and the titles derived from them to the said Wm. Thornton, and the title also granted by him to us, as trustees, do hereby certify to whom it may concern, that we are perfectly satisfied with the validity and goodness of these different conveyances, amounting to not less than 35,000 acres.
In witness whereof, we hereunto set our hands and seals, this 4th day of February, 1866.
Daniel Carroll, of Duddington, (Seal.) Philip B. Key, (Seal.) Thomas Peter, (Seal.) John Taylor, (Seal.) Thomas Tingey, (Seal.) John Weyms, (Seal.)

IRON WORKS ON POTOMAC. The Subscriber has for Sale or Rent, a good seat for a Furnace upon the North Branch of Potomac in Hampshire county, with plenty of ore already investigated at considerable expense and found to be good, a confluent and sufficient stream with upwards of 30 feet fall, and die wood of more than 9000 acres of well timbered land; enough of which is available to form a complete establishment. Connected with this, may also be rented the forge built by Mr. John Potts at the Great Falls of Potomac, now the property of the subscriber. It is conceived that these two features, particularly worthy of the notice of Iron Masters of capital; as they are fully adequate to the supply of iron, in its various forms, to an extensive country, having Great demand for that article, both above and below the Blue Ridge. The Hampshire property is free from every incumbrance, and the payment of a very few thousand dollars due to the proprietor of the fee simple at the Great Falls (my lease of which is for upwards of 90 years at a low rent) for rents in arrears prior to my purchase, will render this property clear; and afford a complete establishment for all the various manufactures of iron, as well as for mills, with a convenient farm, &c. &c.
I have seats equally eligible (if not superior) for furnace and forge, upon the river Shenandoah in this county, with ore, wood, and water, all convenient and abundant: which may be rented on a long term of years, with rich farming land attached thereto.
