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 dolls. and 2,500 dolls. 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 T Tickets to be had of Robert Pollard Esq. John Brockenbrough, jun. Wm. Price (Reg.) Samuel Pleasants, jun. and William Prichard.

From a Leyden Gazette of March 9, received at the office of the United States Gazette.
Extract from Paris newspapers as late as 11 Ventose (2d March.)
The last sitting of the Tribunal has apprized the public of the manner in which the President and Secretaries of that body have presented to the First Consul the prayer for the immediate promulgation of the law against the receivers of conspirators, as also of the reception given them by the chief magistrate. Immediately after the sitting of the 9th of this month, the said deputation went to the Thuilleries. Having been introduced to the First Consul, it presented to him the decree just passed by its constituents.
Citizen Duvidal, as President, added to it this address, "Citizen First Consul, the Tribunal and the Legislative Body, have adopted measures to cut asunder the last threads of the conspiracy.—These measures will be vain if they are not prompt. Love of country has dictated to the Tribunal the prayer just presented, that they may be executed immediately. All are concerned, since you are interested; it is the repose, the glory, the existence of the republic which must be saved by saving its chief from the attempts of crime. The French people have confided their destinies to you; that you take every means to preserve that which fixed their affections & their hopes."
The First Consul replied—"That he would take the prayer of the Tribunal into serious and prompt consideration." It is known, that the promulgation of the important law of that day followed immediately. Shortly after, in the evening, this law was solemnly published and afterwards put up in all quarters in Paris, according to the orders and arrangements of the Prefect of Police. The ordinance of this prefect relative thereto, as well as the proclamation made by him at the same time, are well known to the reader. One may figure to himself the commotion of this day in the city, filled with the noise of the arrest of General Pichegru, and also with that of the new law and of the extraordinary measure of surrounding the capital with private sentinels and officers of police."
"We have not yet learnt here, that all the menaces and precautions united to other means of the police, have caused the delivery of Georges, or of others of his band, into the hands of justice. To attain this end more certainly, with regard to the first, the chief judge has caused a description of him to be published. This person becomes so famous in the history of conspiracies, is pointed out by the name of Georges Cadoudal, alias Larivo, alias Masson, He is said to be 30 years old."
"In the mean time addresses of congratulation on the miscarriage of the conspiracy, continue to arrive to the First Consul from all parts of France and from all the authorities. Above all are distinguished in the cloud of addresses daily encircling an infinite number from the military. From among these we shall quote that of General Angereau, now clothed with the command in chief of the camp of Brest. It is of the following tenor."
"The general in chief ANGEREAU, to the First Consul BONAPARTE. At head quarters under Brest the 6th Ventose, year 12, (26th February, 1804.
"Citizen First Consul, The cries of alarm sounded on the borders of the Seine have echoed to the extremest point of Finisterre. Warriors, whom no danger could move, have trembled with fear, at the thought of the perils which have menaced your existence.—Neither the vigilance of the magistrates, nor public description of the traitors, nor the bonds with which justice has bound their parricidal hands, would have removed their fears, had they not confided in the genius, who presided over your destiny, who watched you in the midst of combat, and who has commanded even the waves to respect your life."
"You will live Citizen Consul, for the glory of France and the happiness of the world. You will live to avenge on England her loss if the opprobrium with which she is covered by the inroad of crimes of a perfidious government; you will live, for so will the destiny."
"Such are the wishes & the thoughts of the soldiers, with whose command you have intrusted me and whose organ
I have the honor to be, on an occasion, on which above all their devotion to you has shone with a lustre, capable of making the endless contrivers of so many mischievous plots to tremble."
Hearth and respect, (Signed) ANGEREAU.
"The criminal proceedings, on account of the conspiracy, appear about to commence. The debats, which will decide the lot of such men as Moreau and Pichegru will be peculiarly interesting. The form of them is determined. This is the object of the Senatus Consultus , proposed the 6th of this month by government to the Senate at an extraordinary sitting, and passed in consequence, the 8th of this month, by that body. This important act was inferred in the Bulletin of the Laws , and is thus published officially. There are but 3 articles, in which there is reference had to the law of 23 Floreal, year 10. The text of these articles follows."
Article 1.
The functions of the jury shall be suspended during the course of the year 12, and the year 13, in all the departments of the Republic, for the trial of the crimes of treason, attempts against the person of the First Consul, and against the interior and exterior safety of the Republic.
Art. II.
To this end the criminal tribunal shall be organised agreeably to the arrangement of the law of 23 Floreal, year 10, without prejudice of the power of abrogation.
Art. III.
The present Senatus Consultus shall be transmitted, by a message, to the government of the Republic.
"The Journal de Paris , which first of the journals of this capital, has announced the Senatus Consultus , has added to the publication these remarkable reflections. 'There is room for the opinion, that a pre-existing tribunal composed of irremovable judges, independent and habituated to impartiality, is a surer guarantee of justice in decisions, in a time of resolution, than a body of jurors, naturally disposed to judge on political crimes, according to the spirit of the party, to which they may have been attached, and who will be opened before hand, by their society, as to things and persons. And the danger of seeing jurors, after having borne the spirit of party into their judgements, transport it, more ardent and dangerous, into society.'
(CIRCULAR.)
WASHINGTON CITY, 27th March, 1804.
DEAR SIR, Congress will probably adjourn this evening, agreeable to a resolution passed some time since, after something more than five months session, to meet again on the first Monday in November next. As I have been accustomed to do, I think it my duty to give my constituents an outline of the business that has been transacted during this period of my service.
Two measures, very important in their nature, have occupied much of the session. An amendment to the constitution, by which it is proposed that in all elections for President and Vice President, each officer shall be voted for on a separate ballot; this was found necessary to guard against intrigues similar to those which so much interested and agitated the country in 1800 and 1801.—This amendment passed both Houses of Congress by two thirds of each House; and before it can be incorporated in the constitution must be approved by three-fourths of the legislatures of the states, ten states have already approved and two disapproved of it. Tennessee, Georgia and South-Carolina are expected to be in favour of it, should one of these not agree to it the amendment is for the present lost.
The other important measure is the provision for the affairs of Louisiana, which has been so fortunately and successfully negotiated for, and acquired at a price, very little above the rated price of seven millions of acres of our western lands.
When I addressed you last year (28th February, 1803) the public anxiety was raised to a great height on the subject of Louisiana, and it was a very general opinion among men of all parties, that no price could be too high for the free navigation of the Mississippi, and the island on which New Orleans stands;
and beside the opinion of some politicians, that its acquisition would be cheap at the expence of two or three years war, which probably would not have cost less than thirty millions of dollars a year; those who were disposed to favor a purchase, would rather have given thirty or forty millions of dollars than not possess it.
I considered it an object of so much importance to us, that my only fear was, that we should not be able to obtain it on any terms, and that we should have a foreign colony in our neighbourhood. I have been agreeably disappointed. The whole country of Louisiana, equally extensive in territory beyond the Mississippi as the United States on this side, has been obtained, and for a sum of not more than fifteen millions of dollars, payable too in such a manner and on such terms as are equally advantageous to us. Eleven millions and a quarter of the money is not to be discharged by us till the year 1813, and then in four instalments: it is to be funded like the other public debt, and certificates of the stock are already delivered to the agents of the French government, bearing an interest of six per cent. till discharged; the interest is payable in Europe. The remaining three millions and three quarters, according to the terms of the treaty is appropriated by France to make good claims of our citizens, for injuries and spoliations upon American ships during the war, so that part of what we pay for Louisiana goes into the pockets of our own citizens, and is to be paid in specie at the treasury of the United States. Two millions of dollars were set apart for the purpose of the negotiation, when it was set on foot, to be applied at the discretion and on the responsibility of the President. This money was never touched, and it goes now to pay so much of the debts of our citizens as France, the rest has been provided for by a loan, with various other public expenditures, without resorting to the levy of any tax, and without affecting the progressive discharge of our public debt, incurred at the revolution, which will, if the present judicious system of government is pursued, be all paid before the Louisiana stock falls due.
Several laws have been passed this session fixing the funds to pay for Louisiana, and for the establishment of civil government there, all of which will appear in the public papers, which therefore I need not particularly in detail on this occasion. The laws that concern its government are only temporary, and will of course gradually change their features, till in time they harmonize in form and freedom with our own. The comparative unacquaintance in which we stand with the habits and institutions which before existed in Louisiana, have rendered this gradual introduction of free government necessary, and it may be said that while solicitous of conferring on them the rights of freemen, we have been tender even of their prejudices. The country is to be governed in two districts, the lower called Orleans, the upper called Louisiana, which latter is to be under the governor of the Indiana territory.
The acquisition of Louisiana to our part of the country must be an object of the most important consequences, as it will not only secure us an uninterrupted outlet for the productions of our soil, but increase the demand and the profits of our industry. To the public revenue also, it will be an object of some moment, for I find the secretary of the treasury already estimates the value of goods imported into New Orleans for one year at two millions and an half of dollars, and the net revenue therefrom to the United States at two hundred thousand dollars, calculating that the trade of Louisiana will increase only one-fourth of the present estimate every year, by the time the debt becomes due in 1813, one half of the purchase money will have been paid from that source alone. But the progress of trade there has been more rapid.
The value as well as the progress of the trade of Louisiana may be estimated by a consideration of what it has been under the inactive government of Spain; we imported into the ports of the Atlantic from Louisiana and the Floridas, in the following years, viz.
   In 1792 to the value of dolls. 507,132   1800 904,322   1801 956,635   1802 1,600,214  
From the same countries we imported of cotton, In 1801 - 2,238,945 pounds wt. 1802 - 1,921,522 di. to. Our financial affairs are managed with an address and skill scarce surpassed only by our diplomatic negotiations.

Our public revenue is estimated at per annum, - dollars, 10,500,000 The expenditure including the payment of the public debt, 9,800,000 Of this there is now appropriated to the annual discharge of the public debt, 8,000,000
The general expenses of our government are estimated as follows: The civil department which comprehends congress and the executive 791,000 Naval expenditures, 1,650,000 Military and Indian departments, 375,000 Foreign intercourse, 200,000 Dollars, 3,716,000
You will perceive that there is an apparent excess of expense beyond the estimated income, but there are other funds, and other resources to make good all these, and leave a handsome sum in the public treasury for public services. The naval expenditure may perhaps surprise you. I therefore think it proper to mention, that a sum of one million on that account, has been appropriated within a few days, in consequence of advice being received, that the U. States frigate Philadelphia, in chasing a Tripolitan vessel, ran upon a rock on the coast of Barbary, and was, with her crew of upwards of 300 persons, captured by the Barbary pirates. This circumstance is in every view unfortunate, and as we have been, by former policy, forced into the maintenance of a naval force, we must either support it, or abandon it altogether. Such an occasion as this, however, would not be a proper one to attempt such a step; but for my own part, I have always been of opinion, that a trade which has never afforded in the aggregate beyond 70,000 dollars a year, is not worthy of the expense or the injury to which it subjects the nation.
This million for the Mediterranean service is to be procured in the first instance by a loan, but an additional duty rated upon the value of foreign goods imported, is established to be applied solely to the discharge of the loan, and defray the whole expense of this service exclusively, and is to be called The Mediterranean Fund .
Besides the estimated permanent revenue, the following funds also are in possession of the public: Duties on stills, 400,000 An unapplied sum advanced for prosecuting claims in England, to be repaid to our treasury, 150,000 Direct tax, arrearages still due, 250,000 Specie in the treasury, 5,680,000 Dollars, 6,480,000
Payments of the public debt were made in the year ending September 30, 1803, equal to 3,096,700 dollars, making altogether since the present administration came into office, 9,924,000 dollars.
I need not point out the difference between so prudent a management of our public affairs, and the ruinous and vicious system which preceded it.
Considerable time has been consumed, and great warmth excited, in the discussion of the claims of various companies, who purchased of the Georgia legislature about forty millions of acres of land, including the Yazoo, as well as the claims of Gage's company, or the big bend of the Tennessee in the year 1795. The succeeding legislature of Georgia undertook to supersede the title of the claimants under this purchase, by publicly burning the records of the transaction, and declaring the whole void; in 1802, that state made a cession of all that tract of country to the United States, with a condition annexed, that a quantity, not exceeding five millions of acres, should be appropriated to the discharge of all the claims to lands by virtue of any act or acts of the legislature of that state.
In the interval between the sale of the Georgia land, under the act of 1795, and proof or destruction of the records in the succeeding year, the purchasers, with the evidences of their contracts, took their route to the eastern states, and (before the legislature had assumed to annul the contract) made sale of nearly the whole of their purchases, in numerous instances to innocent and industrious citizens, who laid out nearly their all in purchasing these lands, never conceiving that an act of a sovereign independent government could be abrogated after it had been acted upon and carried into operation. Under the provision of the cession of the United States sitting apart five millions of acres for satisfying claims, the claimants attending at the commencement of the session, and proposed to accept the provision made, and that the lands should be divided amongst them according to the merits of their claims, to be adjusted by Messrs. Madison, Gallatin, &c. commissioners appointed for the purpose. On this application a bill was reported in favor of a compromise, conformable to a former report of the commissioners. This bill was opposed with unflinching
warmth, and supported with equal zeal, during several weeks, but was finally postponed to the next session. I was in favor of this bill, upon the principle of its being good policy to quiet claims of such magnitude, on a tract of country said to be the garden of America, at a price so cheap; for so long as these claims are held up by the present claimants, so long in my opinion will it be unfease to purchase the same land from the United States, as the present claimants threaten to commence suits against all who may settle on these lands, except their claims shall be first satisfied by the government, by compromise or otherwise.
By a treaty with the Kaskaskias the United States have acquired a large tract of land; and similar advantages have been obtained by treaties with the Choctaws, Delawares, Shawanese, and others.
Fifteen thousand dollars in addition to former appropriations, has been appropriated for the extinguishment of Indian titles to lands south east of Ohio, which gives to the President power to extinguish the Indian claims to lands lying within the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, whenever the Indians will consent to sell those lands.
With gratitude I return thanks to my fellow citizens for their suffrages in former elections, and it is their pleasure to re-elect me at the ensuing election, it will give me much pleasure to devote my time and services as their representative.

CONGRESS.
House of Representatives.
WEDNESDAY, February 29.
Debate on the bill from the Senate, providing a "Government for Louisiana".
(Continued.)
Fourth section of the Bill under consideration.
Mr. SMILIE said it was not his purpose to detain the House by any detailed observations. His ideas differed in some respects from those expressed by gentlemen on both sides of the question. The subject of liberty was so grateful a theme that gentlemen desirous of speaking could not with a better. All the arguments, however, which had been uttered as to the right of man to self-government, were, in his opinion, irrelevant to the present occasion. He could not agree with gentlemen who considered man in every situation as capable of enjoying all the blessings of free government. The universal experience of the world disproved it. History informs us of many nations, once possessed of free governments, who afterwards became incapable of enjoying them. If this is the case, we may suppose those who never enjoyed liberty incapable of enjoying it to the same extent as those who have had a long experience of its blessings. Whether the people of Louisiana are qualified to enjoy all the blessings of free government I have my doubts. But I do not, said Mr. Smilie, see the danger of extending to them, ill-informed as they may be supposed to be, the elective franchise, while under the immediate controul of the government of the United States, as they necessarily must be. We ought to discriminate between the situation of a people forming a government for themselves, over which there is no external controul, and the situation of the situation of a people whose power is under a controlling government. This is an important consideration. I ask where will be the danger, or the capacity of their doing any thing injurious to the United States, provided we give them the elective privilege. They will be only empowered to pass laws for the management of their own internal concerns, and even in these they may be controlled by the United States. Two of the departments of the government will still remain in the hands of the government of the Union. The executive power will be amenable to the President, as well as the military. The government of the United States will retain in their own hands the purse and the sword. Where then can be the danger of entrusting the people with the exercise of the elective franchise? To me here appears to be none. As I take it for granted that there is but one opinion as to the propriety of bestowing every blessing consistent with the provisions of the federal constitution, I think there can be no difficulty in striking out this section, and amending it so as to render its provisions more consonant with what appears to be the disposition of the committee.
Mr. BOYLE said he should not have risen on this occasion but for the impression that some arguments of weight had been omitted or had not been sufficiently dwelt on. In the few remarks he purposed to make, he should endeavor to avoid a repetition of ideas already expressed. It was not so much to the novelty, as to the nature of the plan of government contained in the 4th section, that he was opposed. He did not consider the territorial government, proposed to be substituted, as perfect, but he believed it infinitely preferable to that contemplated in the bill. Preferring, therefore, either grade to this, said Mr. Boyle, I shall concur in supporting the substitution of the second grade as most fitted to the circumstances of the people of Louisiana. I feel peculiarly hostile to the mode of appointing the legislative council. The power of appointing them is vested unnecessarily in the President. Waving all objection arising from the distance of the President from the men to be appointed; from the necessity of his relying on the representations of others as to their qualifications, and his liability to be deceived by misrepresentations; still one objection remains, which to my mind is most important. I am, said Mr. Boyle, unwilling to extend executive patronage beyond the line of irresistible necessity. For I believe, if every country is to follow the destiny of other nations, this destiny will be accelerated by the overwhelming torrent of executive patronage. I feel as high a veneration for the present chief magistrate as any man on this floor. Early attached to him, I have retained the full force of my regard for him. But were he an angel, instead of a man, I would not clothe him with this power. Because, in my estimation, the investiture of such high powers, is unnecessary. My opinion is that they will be more properly exercised by the people. To give them to the President is to furnish a dangerous precedent for extending executive power and patronage; and as he has himself said, one precedent in favor of power is stronger than a hundred against it.
I am in favor of giving to the people all that portion of self-government and independence, which is compatible with the constitution. To this I consider them entitled as well on natural principle as by the terms of the treaty. When the British parliament passed the celebrated declaratory act, we declared to the world our right of being governed by laws of our own making. If this right was then, as we declared it, an unalienable and indefeasible right, it is less so now? If it was our indefeasible right, it is not likewise the indefeasible right of every individual of the human species?
But it is said the people of Louisiana are not capable of self government. This assertion must be founded either on the incapacity of the people to choose fit representatives, or on their inability to find men properly qualified for representatives. It is unnecessary on this point to go into detail. For the section, under consideration, presupposes the existence of men of sufficient talents to discharge legislative functions. The President is bound to limit his appointments to persons who have resided one year in Louisiana. The only question is, whether the people are capable of making a discerning choice of representatives. Wisdom and virtue are the qualifications of a legislator. Abstractedly considered these qualities are indistinguishable. But in particular individuals they become objects of sense, visible to the most ignorant. And, from a happy ordinance of nature, the most ignorant and wicked are bound to venerate talents and virtue wherever they are found. As what has been said by a celebrated writer on this subject will be more conclusive, and carry with it more weight than any thing I can urge, I will quote his words:
"The people are extremely well qualified for choosing those whom they are to entrust with part of their authority. They have only to be determined by things to which they cannot be strangers, and by facts that are obvious to sense. They can tell when a person has fought many battles and been crowned with success; they are therefore very capable of electing a general, &c."
This distinguished writer does not, in these remarks, allude to particular people, living under a free government, but refers to mankind in general, in all climates and ages. If then there can be no want of men qualified to legislate, and no want of discernment in the people to select them, no objection can arise to conferring the right of self government, so far as is consistent with the constitution and our national sovereignty.
It is said by the gentleman from Massachusetts, that the people of Louisiana stand in the same relation to us as if we had obtained the country by conquest. If so, we ought to operate upon them more by the influence of love than fear. It will be acknowledged on all hands that the exercise of power must be modified by the terms of the cession; and the treaty stipulates, that,
"The inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the union of the United States, and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages and immunities of citizens of the United States; and in the mean time they shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property, and the religion which they profess."
Not content with having provided for their incorporation, inasmuch as the period of incorporation could not be precisely fixed by an express engagement, it provided that until that period, they shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property and the religion which they profess. If by liberty is meant doing that which the laws do not prohibit, then it is immaterial what kind of government be given them, but if by liberty it be understood that they shall not be bound by laws to which they have not consented it is essential that there be given a form of government in which they shall either participate by themselves or through their representatives. For these reasons I have no hesitation in declaring, that my vote shall be in favor of striking out the section, and adopting in the place of it one or other of the grades of territorial government, or something similar to them.
The question was then taken on striking out the fourth section, and carried Ayes 80—Nees 15.
When Mr. G. Campbell offered the following substitute for it.
The governor and judges or a majority of them, shall adopt and publish in the said territory, such laws of the original states, criminal and civil, as may be necessary and best suited to the circumstances of the territory, and may also make such laws as they shall deem conducive to the good government of the inhabitants thereof, and report the same to Congress from time to time, which laws shall be in force in the said territory, until the organization of the general assembly therein, unless disapproved of by Congress, but afterwards the legislature shall have authority to
repeal or alter them as they shall think fit.
The governor and judges or a majority of them, shall as soon as may be, after they are appointed and commissioned, divide the said territory into
divisions, to be called counties, in such manner as may best suit the convenience of the inhabitants, each county to contain, as nearly as may be consistent with the nature of the settlements, an equal number of free persons; and the city of New Orleans shall form one county.
Previous to the organization of the general assembly, the governor shall appoint such magistrates, and other civil officers in each county of the said territory, as he shall find necessary for the preservation of the peace and good order in the same; after the general assembly shall be organized, the powers and duties of magistrates and other civil officers, shall be regulated and defined by the said assembly; but all magistrates and other civil officers, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, shall, during the continuance of this temporary government, be appointed by the governor.
The general assembly or legislature, shall consist of a legislative council, and a House of Representatives: the House of Representatives shall consist of
members, of whom shall be chosen from the county including the city of New Orleans, and from each of the other counties in the said territory a majority of whom shall be a quorum to do business.
No person shall be eligible or qualified to act as a representative, except a free white male, who shall have been a citizen of one of the United States, or of one of the territories, heretofore belonging to the United States three years, and be a resident in the county for which he shall be chosen, or who shall have resided in the said territory of New Orleans three years, and be resident in the county for which he shall be chosen, and in either case shall likewise hold in his own right in fee, two hundred acres of land within the same. Every person of the age of twenty-one years, having been a citizen of the United States, or having resided in the said territory one year immediately preceding any election, shall be qualified to vote for a representative or representatives in the county in which he shall reside at the time of such election.
The governor and judges, or a majority of them, as soon as may be, after the said territory shall have been divided into counties, and within from the passing of this act, shall make the necessary regulations; and give notice of the time and place to the inhabitants of each county of the said territory, qualified to vote as herein before prescribed, to elect representatives to represent them in the general assembly. The representatives thus elected shall serve for the term of one year, and in case of the death of a representative or removal from office, the governor shall issue a writ to the county for which he was a member, to elect another in his stead to serve for the residue of the term.
The legislative council shall consist of members, to continue in office one year, unless sooner removed by the President of the United States, a majority of whom shall be a quorum to do business: and they shall be appointed in the following manner, to wit: As soon as representatives shall be elected, the governor shall appoint a time and place for them to meet, and when met, they shall nominate persons, being the same qualifications, as are herein declared necessary for representatives, and return their names to the governor, who shall within days thereafter, appoint and commission of them to serve as a legislative council; and whenever a vacancy shall happen in the council, by death or removal from office, the House of Representatives shall nominate two persons qualified as aforesaid for each vacancy, and return their names to the governor, one of whom he shall appoint and commission for the residue of the term. The general assembly shall meet at least once in every year, at the city of New Orleans, at such time as the first meeting as may be appointed by law. And the governor shall have power on extraordinary occasions to convene the general assembly.
After the first election, representatives shall be elected annually, in such manner as the legislature may direct, not contrary to the provisions of this act. And a legislative council shall likewise be annually appointed, in the manner herein before directed.
The general assembly shall have authority to make laws in all cases for the good government of the said territory, not repugnant to the constitution and laws of the United States. All laws having passed by a majority in the house of representatives, and by a majority in the council, shall be referred to the governor for his assent, but no bill or legislative act whatever shall be of any force without his assent.
The legislature of the said territory shall have no power over the primary disposal of the soil, nor to tax the lands of the United States, nor to interfere

it, the claims to land within the said county. The committee then rose, and obtained leave to again.
On a subsequent day this amendment was disagreed to. [To be continued.]

The object of the bill is to obtain in the first place a conveyance in fee simple to the complainant Robert S. Bickley and his heirs for certain lots known and distinguished in the general plan of the city of Washington in the district of Columbia by lots numbered 2, 3, 4, 5 and 14, in square numbered 40 in the said city together with the building thereon usually called the Great Hotel, and another right, privileges and appurtenances to the said lots belonging. And secondly to recover the sum of 21,500 dollars, with interest thereon from the 26th day of December 1801, till paid, and the further sum of 251. 18. 10d. for costs of suit, all of which were adjudged to him by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania on the 26th day of December 1801, as the holder and owner of ticket numbered 37,534 in the lottery number 1 for the improvement of the city of Washington, which ticket drew the prize of a superb hotel, to cost 30,000 dollars, and to get paid thereon the sum the bill prays that all the interest which the said Blodget had in any real property in the said city of Columbia on the 28th January 1794, either in law or in equity, and which he at that day conveyed to Thomas Johnson, jun. since deceased, and Thomas Peter, one of the defendants above named and the survivor of them, in trust to secure the payment of the prizes drawn in the said lottery, may be paid to him and satisfy him, the aforesaid sum of money.
The bill states that Samuel Blodget, jun. Thomas McEwen, William Davidson and William Smith, D. D. four of the defendants above named reside in the city of Philadelphia in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania; that the said Blodget by his deed of the 28th January 1794, to Thomas Johnson, jun. and Thomas Peter aforesaid, and the survivor conveyed a large property in the said district of Columbia, subject to the payment of the prizes drawn in the said lottery. That he the said Blodget (not having satisfied and paid the complainant for the prize so drawn by him as aforesaid) has by his deed since the 28th January 1794, attempted to convey away a part or parts of the property included in that deed to Johnson and Peter, to the defendants Benjamin Stoddert, Elias Boudinot Caldwell, William Thornton, John Stickney, Adam Lindsay, Edward Eustis, James Dougherty, Thomas McEwen, William Davidson and Francis Lowndes.

WASHINGTON CITY,
MONDAY, MAY 7, 1804.
Extract of a letter from Commodore Preble to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Malta Harbour, January 17th, 1804.
"The coast of Tripoli is extremely dangerous at this season of the year, but I could not avoid paying it a visit, and on the morning of the 23d ult. I captured a vessel in sight of Tripoli which left that port in the night bound to Bengaza—She was under Turkish colors and navigated by Turks and Greeks, but had on board two Tripoline officers of distinction, a son of one of the officers, a number of Tripoline soldiers, and forty-two black men and women slaves belonging to the Bashaw and his subjects, and a small sum of about one thousand dollars in money, Tripoline property.
"My object in coming over here, was to attend to the translation of the papers, to look out for some good boats for light cruisers and to forward some necessary supplies to our unfortunate countrymen.
"If I find on the translation of the papers, that the vessel is Turkish property I shall release her together with all the people which the capt. claims, viz. an officer of the Captain Pacha, three Turks and seven Greeks; the remainder amounting to about 60 Tripolines and slaves belonging to the Bashaw and his subjects, I shall keep as prisoners. I have written to the Bashaw proposing an exchange, and hope this capture will enable me to release some of our countrymen, or at any rate, it will afford us considerable advantage in any negotiation for a ransom or peace.
"I have this day had indirect proposals from the Bashaw for a peace—He is willing to restore the frigate Philadelphia for a schooner, and he will give up our officers and men for 500 dollars each. I believe that on these terms he would make peace, but he demands an annual stipend for keeping it, such as the Swedes or Danes pay him, amounting to 100,000 dollars per annum, payable in cash. This we ought never to accede to, as it would stimulate the avarice of the other Barbary powers, and probably induce them to declare war against us."
Extract of a letter from Commodore Preble to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Malta, Jan. 20, 1804.
"I have received further proposals (indirectly) from the Bashaw—he appears to be willing to give me as many of our officers and men as I have Tripolitans in exchange—for the remainder I suspect he is willing to take 400 dollars for each and make peace without any consideration or annual tribute, and give us a frigate for a schooner. These terms perhaps may be thought favorable by the United States. I shall send a vessel to Col. Lear to consult him, and in the mean time take the necessary steps for lessening the Bashaw's expectations."

NEW SERIES OF FEDERAL MISREPRESENTATIONS. No. VII.
We find in the same print, the Boston Gazette, the two following productions. Both are stamped with too unequivocal traits not to merit a place in the register of federal misrepresentations. Both have the same object—to diminish the respect of the citizens of this country for their republican institutions—Each is a part of a system, long pursued, and new features of which every day's experience develops, to depict the estimation in which popular bodies, and magistrates chosen by the people are held. Let this end be once accomplished, and it will be easy to realise that very event, the substitution of a military leader in the room of representatives chosen by the people, which it is infinitely professed so much to deprecate.
To lessen this respect no man has laboured more assiduously than Mr. Adams, and we blush to think, whatever his private worth and revolutionary zeal, that principles such as he has inculcated should have been rewarded by his receiving the first distinction his country had to bestow.
In the same class with such productions may be ranked those which tend to depreciate the people in their own eyes. A people who think meanly of themselves will generally form extravagant opinions of kings and generals, and leaders of all descriptions. They will not feel that confidence in their own strength, without which that strength will be impotent. The first danger that menaces their rights will fill them with dismay, and they will resign themselves to an inglorious apathy when their arms should be sinewed to exertion.
Deeming it to be a duty to hold up to national reprobation doctrines, that have this tendency, and to suggest the necessity of vigilance towards those that advance them, we offer the extracts alluded to.
From Adams's Defence.
"The desires of men are not only exorbitant but endless; they grasp at all; and can form no scheme of perfect happiness with less. Ever since men have been formed into governments, the endeavours after universal monarchy have been bandied among them; the Athenians, the Spartans, the Thebans, and the Achaeans several times aimed at the universal dominion of Greece: the commonwealth of Carthage and Rome affected the universal empire of the world. In like manner has universal empire been pursued, by the several powers in each particular state, wherein single persons have met with most success, though the endeavours of the few and the many have been frequent enough; yet being neither so uniform in their designs, nor so direct in their views, they neither could manage nor maintain the power they had got, but were deceived by the popular ambition of some single person, so that it will be always a wrong step in policy, for the nobles or commons to carry their endeavours after power so far as to overthrow the balance. With all respect for popular assemblies be it spoken, it is hard to recollect one folly, infirmity or vice, from which a single man is subject, and to which a body of commons, either collective or represented, can be wholly exempt; from whence it comes to pass, that in their results have sometimes been found the same spirit of cruelty and revenge, of malice and pride; the same blindness, and obstinacy, and unsteadiness; the same ungovernable rage and anger; the same injustice, lechery and fraud,
that ever lodged in the breast of any individual. When a child grows raly by being humoured, and a lover satisfied by small compliances without further parleys then expect popular assemblies to be content with small concessions. If there could one single example be brought from the whole compus of history, of any one popular assembly, who, after originating to extend for powers, ever sat down quietly with a certain share; or of one that ever knew, or proposed, or declared what share of power was there due, then might there be some hopes that it was a matter to be adjudged by reasonings, conferences, or debates. An usurping populace is now its dupe, a mere underworker, and a purchaser in trust for some single tyrant, whose state and power they advance to their own ruin, with as blind an instinct, as those worms that die with weaving incessant habits for beings of a superior order. The people are more dextrous at pulling down and setting up, than at preserving what is fixed; and they are not fonder of seizing more than their own than they are of delivering it up again to the worst bidder, with their own into the bargain. Their earthly devotion is seldom paid to above one at a time, of their own creation while one they pull with it is murmuring and more likely, than when they share the leading, or even hold the helm."

"EXTRACT."
Oct. 13, 1843. At the moment this paper was going to press, the right honorable Jerome De Wolf, earl of Newport and vice-president of the society for the propagation of Philosophy, arrived from the capital, and confirms the melancholy intelligence of the death of our most noble Emperor Charles Sr. Robespierre Jefferson. He expired on the morning of Thursday, 4th October being Anno Americano 97, in the twenty-first year of his age, and after a long and happy reign of six and forty years. Charles was in his person tall and well proportioned, florid complexion, and red haired, and inherited all the good qualities of his immortal ancestor Jefferson, the founder of our present glorious empire. In him the illustrious house of Monticello, which has filled the throne of America above a century, is extinct, and the succession devolves on H. Royal Highness, the young prince of Orleans. Time will not permit us to give a further account of the emperor's death at present.
* The printer probably intends this description of his person, for the younger days of Charles.
PARIS, Feb. 15.
Dissatisfied that the present Grand Judge and Minister of Police did not foresee the late insurrection in La Vendee, and other departments, Bonaparte has deliberated to make this Minister a separate one from that of Justice; but to dispirit Bonaparte from ceasing to return to this office, it has been deprived of its inspection over the capital, which now entirely belongs to the Parisian Prefect of Police; and the Chief of, as is called, the General Police, is now no longer styled a Minister but a Director of Police; a place destined for one of Bonaparte's Privy Councillors, of the name of Rheat, formerly Public Accuser to the first Revolutionary Tribunal, and who is guilty of the effusion of more innocent blood than most of his fellow councillors and accomplices.
Within these last six months, Bonaparte has now, for the fourth time, changed the staff and the generals of division of the different columns of the army of England, and those in Hanover and Holland are now sent to command at Boulogne. Those at Boulogne are ordered to the army near Breff, and those in their turn to Hanover, and to the camps in Italy. These are evident proofs of the First Consul's mistrust, and that he is afraid to have them long in any fixed command, lest they may make themselves popular and beloved by the soldiers. This suspicion is so much the more farfetched, as most of those Generals owe their present rank to him, and are generally known or supposed, to be his favourites.
It is said, that the military section of the Council of State has, by orders, laid before the First Consul, and obtained his approbation for establishing a corps of body guards, consisting of 400, of whom each man is to have the rank of a captain, and their officers that of majors, colonels, and generals. They are to be nearly on the same footing with the king's former Garde du Corps, and are to do the same duty. Bibles these 24 pages are to be attached to the first consul, and wait on him, and twelve are to attend Madame Bonaparte; these are to be chosen from youths not under twelve, nor more than sixteen; and are to be children of the members of the legion of honor.
Not only the camp equipage of Bonaparte has, for the sixth time, from the present war, taken the road to the coast, but that of general Junot, and all the other generals of the army of Eng-
land, are sent to the same destination. Even two aide-de-camps of general Berthier, with his camp equipage, have left Paris, which has not been the case before since hostilities began. Report says, that they are ordered to Breff, and not to Boulogne; and that whenever Bonaparte sets out from the latter place, Berthier goes to the former, and is appointed by the First Consul captain general of Ireland.
The secretariat, or camp chancellery of the First Consul, is now to be more numerous than when he was last time on the coast. Some persons pretend that Talleyrand is secretly preparing to follow him, and that during his absence, he will have the ministerial portfolio, and to confer with the foreign diplomatic corps.

The object of this bill is to recover the sum of 11,495 dollars, with interest thereon from the 1st day of July 1802 till paid, and the further sum of six cents for costs of suit, all of which was adjudged to the complainant, by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania on the said first day of July 1802, as the holder and owner of ticket numbered 12,545 in the lottery number 11, for the improvement of the city of Washington, which ticket drew the prize of 10,000 dollars, and to get paid thereon the sum, the bill prays that all the interest which he at that day had in any real property in the district of Columbia on the 7th day of July 1795, either in law or equity (except lots No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 14, in square 450) and which he on that day conveyed to Ulrich Forrester and Benjamin Stoddert, one of the defendants above named in trust to secure the payment of the prizes drawn in the said lottery, may be paid to him and satisfy him in the place to a certain Robert S. Bickley, the sum of 21,500 dollars, with interest thereon from the 26th day of December 1801 till paid, and the further sum of 251. 18. 10d.

New Jersey Avenue, near the Capitol, where they are requested to call or send for their copies.

The geography of this country is revised and considerably augmented by Dr. Benjamin Smith Barton; the American maps drafted by Samuel Lewis, principally from actual surveys; and engraved by Harrison, Lawton, and Tanner; careful attention has been paid to correcting the press to binding, and to every thing that would insure to the publishers the approbation of the subscribers. Subscriptions will be received at twelve dollars per copy until the work is completed, when it will be raised to fifteen dollars.
Character of Pinkerton's Geography from the New Annual Register, for 1802. "Mr. Pinkerton may well say that this Geography is digested on a new plan. It forms a reality, a new era in the science, or rather for the first time scientifically arranges that which till now was possessed of no scientific features whatever. Mr. Pinkerton is a most attentive investigator; he is not satisfied with blindly copying from his predecessors; he has examined for himself, his authorities moreover so far as we have been able to trace them are of the highest repute, and that he has examined for himself he sufficient proves by offering for the first time his references to the eye of the reader. "Curtailing the usual introductory routine of the planetary system, its laws, phases and terrestrial influence, and the political history of the various countries he describes, he has properly supplied their exuberance with that which is an integral and essential part of Geography, although hitherto never admitted into publications upon this subject, the history or progressive political changes of the states that pass in order before him—accounting for the rise and variation in the names of their different districts—their appropriate meteorology, soil, agriculture, botany and zoology. The maps and charts are delineated with peculiar precision; they are the joint production of Messrs. Arrowsmith and Lowry, and to these the author principally refers in all his verbal descriptions, as with strict justice he may, for a more clear and definite comprehension of the large rivers and mountains that occur to him in his progress."
