Assessors' Notice.
WHEREAS the Council for the Corporation of Alexandria has appointed us Assessors for the present year, and as the Revenue Law (under the penalty of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS) requires all masters and mistresses of families, to give into the Assessors, lists of all male titheables belonging to, or residing in their respective families, and also, every owner of taxable property to give in a list of such property within five days, after demand made thereof, by any Assessor—The Assessors, therefore, aware of the difficulty of obtaining such lists on personal application, at the houses of such owners of property, they being frequently from home or busily engaged, and many errors being unavoidable for the want of such information, on account of the frequent transfer of property, and those errors generally not discovered until the Collector calls for payment of taxes, after the time for appeal has elapsed, when no redress can be had.
They, therefore, request all the citizens at their leisure, within five days hereafter, may make out such lists, and send them to the office of A. Faw, after which they will proceed on the premises, to examine the property and ascertain the valuation without any further trouble or interruption to the citizens.
The Taxable Property to be contained in said lists, is as follows, viz.
All Houses and Lots, and all unimproved Lots, designating the street or streets on which they are situated, and by whom occupied; all four wheeled carriages, all buggies, sulky, or two wheeled riding carriages, all drays, carts and wagons, horses, cows, and dogs; all tavern licensees, and all male persons, above the age of fifteen years, comprehending clerks, journeymen, apprentices, assistants, servants and slaves.
For the information of those unacquainted with the law, the following clause thereof is published—"And if any person whatever shall willfully omit, or misrepresent in the list given in, any titheable or other taxable property, or shall in any manner conceal the same from the knowledge of the Assessors, the person or persons so offending, shall forfeit and pay double the amount of the tax imposed on such titheable or taxable property."
A. FAW, GEO. M'MUNN. Note.—Those gentlemen who act as agents, or have the management of taxable property for non residents, will please note them, in making out lists of their own property. March 14.

A New and Practical Work.
A PROPOSAL, By William Y. Birch, & Abraham Small, of the City of Philadelphia, FOR PUBLISHING IN VOLUMES, BY SUBSCRIPTION, THAT USEFUL AND POPULAR WORK, THE Domestic Encyclopædia, OR, A DICTIONARY OF FACTS, AND USEFUL KNOWLEDGE: COMPREHENDING A concise view of the latest discoveries, inventions, and improvements, chiefly applicable to rural and domestic eco- nomy.
TOGETHER WITH Descriptions of the most interesting ob- jects of nature and art; the history of men and animals, in a state of health or disease; and practical hints respecting the arts and manufactures, both famil- iar and commercial. Illustrated with numerous Engravings and Cuts.
By A. F. M. WILLICH, A. M. Author of the Lectures on Diet and Regi- men, &c. &c. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, With additions, applicable to the present situation of the U. States, By JAMES MEASE, M. D. Fellow of the American Philosophical So- ciety, And Corresponding Member of the Literary and Phil. Soc. at Manchester.
From the above general con- tents of the work, it will be easily conceived that the nature of the Domestic Encyclopædia is peculiarly adapted to the present wants of the United States. Perhaps it contains a greater number of useful facts than have ever appeared in the compass of four moderate volumes. No pains, trouble, or expence appear to have been spared to render this economical dictionary as complete as the present advancement of agricul- ture, gardening, of the familiar arts and manu- factures, as well as the imperfect state of medi- cal science, would respectively admit. It in- cludes almost every object more or less connect- ed with rural, domestic, and animal economy. Hence the reader will find numerous experiments related, many hundreds of which have not before been published in the English language.
With regard to the additions, the editor will observe, that no exertions shall be wanting on his part, to render them as useful as possible to the people of this country. The diseases com- monly prevalent therein, with the most approv- ed methods of prevention and cure, shall be par- ticularly detailed. An account shall be given of all the discoveries which have been made in the United States; and many Machines for dimi- nishing labour, which are peculiar thereto, shall be described, and illustrated in Plates. In short, every useful fact in rural and domestic economy, omitted by Dr. Willich, and which may be known to the editor, shall be inserted; and in order to take advantage of progressing improvements, arrangements have been made to have all the periodical works on the above sub- jects, forwarded as soon as published in England or France.
The Publishers have but little to add for them- selves; knowing, that professions generally are, and perhaps, ought to be, in a great measure, unavailing, they refer the Public to the books they have already published. They have given to the world two editions of Dr. Kuffell's Mod- ern Europe , within the last three years; the number, therefore, in which they execute their undertakings, can be ascertained. In the pre- sent work, if they do not advance much, they pledge themselves not to degenerate. It shall be printed in the first style of uniformity and taste. The Paper shall be superfine; and the Engravings at least equal to those in the London copy.
Conditions.
I. It shall be printed in five handsome octavo volumes. One volume shall be de- livered every three months. Price to sub- scribers, two dollars and fifty cents per volume, in boards, payable on delivery. II. The first volume shall appear on the first of April, 1805, and a volume regu- larly every three months afterwards. III. It may be had in one delivery when finished, at twelve dollars and fifty cents, in boards, or fifteen dollars well bound, payable on the delivery of the books. It will, however, be only obtained at these prices, by those who give the publishers their names during the process of the work to take it when finished.
N. B. The public will please to take notice, that the amount in price of this improved and extended work, is not higher than the London work in four volumes.
Subscriptions to the above work will be received by Samuel Bishop and by James Kennedy, Sen. Alexandria.

M A N D A M U S. Opinion of the Supreme Court, delivered by Chief Justice Marshall, February 24th, 1803.
WM. MARBURY, } On a motion for vs. } a Mandamus. The SEC. OF STATE, } (Continued.)
This brings us to a second enquiry which is, 2dly. If he has a right and that right has been violated, do the laws of his coun- try afford him a remedy?
The very essence of civil liberty cer- tainly consists in the right of every indi- vidual to claim the protection of the laws, whenever he receives an injury. One of the first duties of government is to afford that protection. In Great Britain the king himself is sued in the respectful form of a petition, and he never fails to comply with the judgment of his court.
In the 3d vol. of his commentaries, p. 28, Blackstone states two cases in which a remedy is afforded by mere operation of law—
'In all other cases,' he says 'it is a ge- neral and indisputable rule, that where there is a legal right, there is also a le- gal remedy by suit or action at law, wherever that right is invaded.'
And afterwards p. 109 of the same vo- lume, he says, 'I am next to consider such injuries as are cognizable by the courts of the common law. And herein I shall for the present only remark, that all possible injuries whatsoever, that did not fall within the ecclesiastical, mi- litary, or maritime tribunals, are for that very reason, within the cognizance of the common law courts of justice; for it is a settled and invariable principle in the laws of England, that every right when withheld, must have a remedy; and every injury its proper redress.'
The government of the United States has been emphatically termed a govern- ment of laws, and not of men. It will certainly cease to deserve this high appella- tion if the laws furnish no remedy for the violation of a vested legal right.
It behoves us then to enquire whether there be, in its composition any ingredi- ent which shall exempt it from legal in- vestigation, or exclude the injured party from legal redress. In pursuing this en- quiry the first question which presents it- self, is, whether this can be arranged with that class of cases which come under the def- cription of damnum absque injuria —a loss without an injury.
This description of cases never has been considered, and it is believed, never can be considered, as comprehending offices of trust, of honor or of profit. The office of justice of peace in the district of Colum- bia is such an office; it is therefore wor- thy of the attention and guardianship of the laws. It has received the attention and guardianship. It has been created by special act of congress, and has been secur- ed. To far as the laws can give security to the person appointed to fill it, for five years. It is not then on account of the worthlessness of the thing pursued, that the injured party can be alleged to be with- out remedy.
It is in the nature of the transaction? It is the act of delivering or withhold- ing a commission to be considered as a mere political act, belonging to the exe- cutive department alone, for the perfor- mance of which, entire confidence is placed by our constitution in the supreme executive; and for any misconduct re- specting which the injured individual has no remedy?
That there may be such cases is not to be questioned; but that every act of duty, to be performed in any of the great departments of government, constitutes such a case, is not to be admitted.
By the act concerning invalids, passed in June, 1794, vol. 3 p. 112 the Secretary at war is ordered to place, on the pension list, all persons whose names are contained in a report previously made by him to congress. If he should refuse to do so, would the wounded veteran be without remedy? Is it to be contended that where the law in precise terms, directs the performance of an act, in which the indi- vidual is interested, that the law is in- capable of securing obedience to its man- date? Is it on account of the character of the person against whom the complaint is made? Is it to be contended that the heads of departments are not amenable to the laws of their country?
Whatever the practice on particular occasions may be, the theory of this prin- ciple will certainly never be maintained. No act of the legislature confers so extra- ordinary a privilege, nor can it derive countenance from the doctrines of the common law. After stating that per- sonal injury from the king to a subject is presumed to be impossible, Blackstone, vol. 3, page 255 says, 'but injuries to the rights of property can scarcely be com- mitted by the crown without the inter- vention of his officers; for whom, the law, in matters of right, entertains no respect or delicacy; but furnishes va- rious methods of detecting the errors and misconduct of those agents, by whom the king has been deceived and indu- ced to do a temporary injustice.'
By the act passed in 1796, authorising the sale of the lands above the mouth of Kentucky river (vol. 3d p. 299) the pur- chaser on paying his purchase money, be- comes completely entitled to the property purchased; and on producing to the se- cretary of state, the receipt of the treas- urer upon a certificate required by the law, the president of the United States is autho- rised to grant him a patent. It is further enacted, that all patents shall be counter- signed by the secretary of state, and re- corded in his office. If the secretary of state should choose to withhold this pa- tent; or the patent being lost, should re- fuse a copy of it, can it be imagined that the law furnishes to the injured person no remedy?
It is not believed that any person what- ever would attempt to maintain such a proposition.
It follows then, that the question whe- ther the legality of an act of the head of a department, be examinable in a court of justice or not, must always depend on the nature of that act.
If some acts be examinable, and others not, there must be some rule of law to guide the court in the exercise of its ju- risdiction.
In some instances there may be difficulty in applying the rule to particular cases; but there cannot it is believed be much difficulty in laying down the rule.
By the constitution of the U. States, the president is invested with certain im- portant political powers, in the exercise of which he is to use his own discretion. and is accountable only to his country in his political character, and to his own con- science. To aid him in the performance of these duties, he is authorised to appoint certain officers, who act by his authority, and in conformity with his orders.
In such cases, their acts are his acts; and whatever opinion may be entertained of the manner in which executive discre- tion may be used; still there exists, and can exist no power to control that dis- cretion. The subjects are political. They respect the nation, not individual rights, and being entrusted to the executive, the decision of the executive is conclusive. The application of this remark will be perceived, by adverting to the act of con- gress for establishing the department of foreign affairs. This officer, as his duties were prescribed by that act, is to conform precisely to the will of the president.— He is the mere organ by whom that will is communicated. The acts of such an of- ficer, as an officer, can never be examin- able by the courts.
But when the legislature proceeds to impose, on that officer, other duties; when he is directed peremptorily to per- form certain acts; when the rights of in- dividuals are dependant on the performance of those acts; he is so far the officer of the law; is amenable to the laws for his conduct; and cannot at his discretion, spout away the vested rights of others.
The conclusion from this reasoning is, that where the heads of departments are the political, or confidential, agents of the executive, merely to execute the will of the president, or rather to act in cases, in which the executive possesses a confi- dential, or legal discretion, nothing can be more perfectly clear, than that their acts are only politically examinable. But where a specific duty is assigned by law, and individual rights depend upon the per- formance of that duty, it seems equally clear that the individual who considers himself injured, has a right to resort to the laws of his country for a remedy.
If this be the rule, let us enquire how it applies to the case under the considera- tion of the court.
The power of nominating to the Senate, and the power of appointing the person nominated, are political powers, to be exercised by the president according to his
own discretion. When he has made an appointment, he has exercised his whole power, and his discretion has been com- pletely applied to the case. If, by law, the officer be removable at the will of the president, then a new appointment may be immediately made, and the rights of the officer are terminated. But, as a fact, which has existed, cannot be made never to have existed, the appointment cannot be annihilated; and consequently, if the officer is, by law, not removable at the will of the president; the rights he has acquired are protected by the law, and are not resumable by the president. They cannot be extinguished by execu- tive authority, and he has the privilege of asserting them in like manner as if they had been derived from any other source.
The question whether a right has vest- ed or not, is, in its nature, judicial, and must be tried by the judicial authority. If, for example, Mr. Marbury had taken the oaths of a magistrate and proceeded to act as one: in consequence of which a suit had been instituted against him, in which his defence had depended on his being a magistrate; the validity of his appoint- ment must have been determined by judi- cial authority.
So, if he conceives that, by virtue of his appointment, he has a legal right, ei- ther to the commission which has been made out for him, or to a copy of that commission; it is equally a question ex- aminable in a court, and the decision of the court upon it must depend on the opinion entertained of his appointment.
That question has been discussed, and the opinion is, that the latest point of time which can be taken as that at which the appointment was complete, and evi- denced, was when after the signature of the president, the seal of the U. States was affixed to the commission.
It is then the opinion of the court, 1st. That by signing the commission of Mr. Marbury, the president of the U. States appointed him a justice of peace, for the county of Washington in the dis- trict of Columbia; and that the seal of the U. States, affixed thereto, by the Secre- tary of state, is conclusive testimony of the verity of the signature, and of the completion of the appointment, conferred on him a legal right to the office for the space of five years.
2dly. That, having this legal title to the office he has a consequent right to the commission; a refusal to deliver which, is a plain violation of that right, for which the laws of this country afford him a re- medy.
It remains to be enquired whether, 3dly. He is entitled to the remedy for which he applies. This depends on 1st. The nature of the writ applied for, and,
2dly. The powers of this court. 1st. The nature of the writ.
Blackstone in the 3d volume of his com- mentaries, page 110, defines a mandamus to be, 'a command issuing in the king's name, from the court of king's bench, and directed to any person, corporation, or inferior court of judicature within the king's dominions, requiring them to do some particular thing therein speci- fied, which appertains to their office and duty, and which the court of king's bench has previously determined, or at least supposes to be consonant to right and justice.'
Lord Mansfield, in 3d Burrows 1266. in the case of the King vs Baker et al: states with much precision and explicit- ness, the cases in which this writ may be used.
'Whenever,' says that very able judge, 'there is a right to execute an office, per- form a service, or exercise a franchise' '(more especially if it be in a matter of 'public concern, or attended with profit) 'and a person is kept out of possession, or 'dispossessed of such right, and has no o- 'ther specific legal remedy this court 'ought to assist by Mandamus, upon rea- 'sons of public policy to preserve peace, 'order and good government.' In the same case he says, 'this writ ought to be 'used upon all occasions where the law 'has established no specific remedy, and 'where in justice and good government 'there ought to be one.'
In addition to the authorities now par- ticularly cited, many others were relied on at the bar, which show how far the prac- tice has conformed to the general doc- trines that have been just quoted.
This writ, if awarded, would be di- rected to an officer of government, and its mandate to him would be, to do the words of Blackstone, 'to do a particular thing therein specified, which a peremptory

to his office and duty, and which the court has previously determined, or at least supposed, to be consonant to right and justice. Or, in the words of Lord Mansfield, the applicant, in this case, has a right to execute an office of public concern, and is kept out of possession of that right.
These circumstances certainly concur in this case.
Still, to render the mandamus a proper remedy, the officer to whom it is to be directed, must be one to whom, on legal principles, such writ may be directed; and the person applying for it must be without any other specific and legal remedy.
1st. With respect to the officer to whom it would be directed. The intimate political relation, subsisting between the president of the United States and the heads of departments, necessarily renders any legal investigation of the acts of one of these high officers peculiarly intricate, as well as delicate; and excites some hesitation with respect to the propriety of entering into such investigation. Impressions are often received without much reflection or examination, and it is not wonderful that in such case as this, the assertion, by an individual, of his legal claims, in a court of justice; to which claims it is the duty of that court to attend; should at first view be considered by some, as an attempt to intrude into the cabinet, and to intermeddle with the prerogatives of the executive.
It is scarcely necessary for the court to disclaim all pretensions to such a jurisdiction. An extravagance, so absurd and excessive, could no have been entertained for a moment. The province of the court, is solely to decide on the rights of individuals not to enquire how the executive, or executive officers perform duties in which they have a discretion. Questions, in their nature political or which are by the constitution and laws, submitted to the executive, can never be made in this court.
But, if this be not such a question; if, so far from being an intrusion into the secrets of the cabinet, it respects a paper, which, according to law, is upon record, and to copy which, the law gives a right on the payment of ten cents; if it be no intermeddling with a subject, over which the executive can be considered as having exercised a controul; what is there in the exalted station of the officer, which shall bar a citizen from asserting, in a court of justice, his legal rights, or shall forbid a court to listen to the claim; or to issue a mandamus, directing the performance of a duty, not depending on executive discretion, but on particular acts of congress and the general principles of law?
If one of the heads of departments commits any illegal act, under color of his office, by which an individual sustains an injury, it cannot be pretended that his office alone exempts him from being sued in the ordinary mode of proceeding, and being compelled to obey the judgment of the law. How then can his office exempt him from this particular mode of deciding on the legality of his conduct, if the case be such as would, were any other individual the party complained of, authorise the proceedings?
It is not by the office of the person to whom the writ is directed, but the nature of the thing to be done, that the propriety or impropriety of issuing a mandamus, is to be determined. Where the head of a department acts in a case, in which executive discretion is to be exercised; in which he is the mere organ of executive will; it is again repeated, that any application to a court to controul, in any respect, his conduct, would be rejected without hesitation. To be continued.

Extract of a letter from our correspondent at the Cape, per the Mariner.
"The brigades made an attack upon the town about the 15th of February—they surprized the out posts, and before assistance could be obtained from the town they took by storm Fort Ballairer and what few soldiers was in it at the time were immediately put to death: the troops from the town soon obliged them to quit the fort, and before they could reach the mountain most of them were killed—It was supposed about seven hundred made the attack, out of which 200 were killed and wounded—there were about 10 whites killed and as many wounded.
"I understand that the officers have arrived here from France, that are to take possession of New Orleans, for which they will shortly proceed.
"P. S. I have this moment received the pleasing intelligence of the arrival of the remaining part of the convoy, consisting of a 74 and two transports, with about 5000 troops. They were parted in a gale of wind."

Malaga, 1st February, 1803.
SIR, I profit of two vessels on the departure for Philadelphia, and Salem, to acquaint you that the French commercial agent in this place, has just received advice, that the Dey of Algiers had declared war against France. This intelligence is transmitted to him by his colleague in Barcelona, where a vessel had arrived with the news, and dispatched for the French government, which were immediately sent on by express. I hasten to communicate to you important information, and am with much respect and regard,
Sir, Your obedient humble servant, WILLIAM KIRKPATRICK.

A letter from New Orleans, dated Feb. 15th, says—
"The intelligence communicated in your last, relative to the subject of New Orleans, has surprised us all here; and what has added not a little to our astonishment, is the complaint manner in which Congress has taken up the business; of which we were informed a few days ago by an arrival from New York. On receiving this information our hopes of redress and relief perished. We perceive in it a ruinous policy of delay and tameness substituted for energy and decision. Before any answer can possibly be received from the court of Spain Louisiana will be in possession of the French, and we here be obliged to submit to any yoke imposed on our trade be these "lords of the creations." Indeed the quiescent manner in which your government has noticed this violent aggression on the part of Spain will operate on the future administration, of this country, whether French or Spanish, as invitation to insult and wrong.
"If the government of the United States had authorised a descent on this place to hold it as a pledge for negotiation, so far from meeting with any resistance, I am inclined to believe, they would have been applauded and joined by the principal part of the inhabitants under the expectation of thereby avoiding a French administration which is truly unpopular here.
"I enclose you a publication of the Intendant, issued a few days since. It was produced in consequence of a representation from the Town Council. We look upon it as adding insult to injury. They will permit you to carry on a trade with which they cannot dispense without starving, but the stamina of your commerce is trampled on. Why did not your government lay an embargo on all provisions from the Upper Country? The business would then have been adjusted. As long as they open their mouths, they will have to keep their port open for provisions."
DON JUAN VENTURA MERALES, Intendant &c. of the Province of Louisiana.
Conformably to the resolves of the Council of Finance, held this day, I permit the introduction into this capital of Flour, salted Meat, and other provisions, brought in flat boats and other vessels from the American settlements of the Ohio, under the condition, that on the landing of the same, the duty of six per cent as established by the Royal order of the twenty-fourth of April, 1794, relating to said articles, will be exacted—and that whatever may not be consumed in the Province, will be subject to the customary duties on exportation, which is to be effected solely in Spanish vessels, and for the foreign ports with which by the existing Royal orders, this colony is allowed to trade; and that this may be made public, I have ordered that copies of the present be affixed to the customary places of this city. New Orleans, Feb. 5th, 1803.
By the sch'r Nancy, Morris, from the Natchez, but left from New Orleans, we learn that the Spaniards have opened their port so far as to allow goods to be landed, on payment of 6 per cent. or a duceur to the Custom House officers. No French officers or troops had arrived the 15th Feb. when this schooner failed.
