LEBOO Will cover the ensuing season, to commence the first day of April, and end on the last day of June, on Mondays and Tuesdays at Queen Anne's; Wednesdays and Thursdays at the farm of the subscriber, and Fridays and Saturdays at Bladensburg; at the rate of 16 dollars per Mare, cash, and half a dollar to the groom; the money to the groom to be sent with the mare, and a note for the balance, with the assumption of Messrs. Clagett or Hodges, of Queen Anne, or Messrs. Lowndes or Bruce, of Bladensburg, payable on the first day of December next, will be received.
Leboo is eight years old, a fine bright bay, 15 hands three inches high, a star and two white feet. He has proven himself both a sire and good foal-getter, having covered at four years old 25 mares, all of whom proved with foal; the colts are equal in size and beauty to any in the part of the country, and except in two instances, they were alike as to colour. At four years old Leboo won the colt's purse at Annapolis; on the next day he won the City purse, and on the third day he won a purse in Prince George's county, immediately after having travelled upwards of 30 miles. The next spring, at 5 years old, he won the first day's purse at Canton; the fall after he won at Annapolis; the next spring, at 6 years old, he won the first day's purse at Canton; the fall after he won the purse again at Canton, the jockey, club purse at Gowan's town, the purse at Frederick town, and the city of Washington; running nine miles, by mistake, at the last mentioned place, beating Mr. Taylor's Leviathan. At seven years old he received a forfeit of 900 dollars at Havre-de-Grace, proceeded on to German town, won the first heat, afterwards fell lame, and was beat by Gen. Ridgely's Hamblet, whom he had beaten three times before.
Leboo was got by High Flier, his blood an equal share to that of any other horse, and his pedigree may be seen by applying to the subscriber. OSBORN SPRIGG. Prince George's County, March 28.

The following judicious remarks taken from the NORTH CAROLINA MESSENGER are worthy of general attention.
The essential principles of free representative government, are often too little observed when the choice of representatives is to be made under their operation. When a people are blest with such a species of government, and they have proved its unexampled benefits, it should, undoubtedly, be their first care to preserve it inviolate, and transmit it, in all the vigor of its principles and practice, to posterity, as the choicest of legacies. In order to this, it is of the first importance that such men, only, should be chosen to the administration of government, whose friendship to its principles admits of no doubt; because, notwithstanding the distinctions we may endeavour to make between the constitution and execution of a government, there are in the progress of the latter, so many opportunities to affect, and even to procure a perfect change of the former.
It best suits the views of ambition, in seeking for power at the expense of the people's rights, to assume a garb of professed friendship to liberty; and to lead them, under specious appearances, to a voluntary surrender, rather than to attempt a more direct accomplishment of their object. Hence, in free states the domineering class, always condescending to ground their pretensions on a desire to lead the people, by a dignified and splendid administration of their government, to honour and happiness; while in despotic countries, the same class talk only of the sacred rights of superiors, and the insignificance of the rabble. Yet the genius of the parties is the same. They have all set out from the same point, viz. That a government founded on an equality of rights, precludes all hope of gratifying inordinate ambition; and therefore, to open channels for that gratification, new arrangements of society, must succeed the operation of that fundamental principle. An aristocrat in one country, is an aristocrat everywhere. In Turkey, he looks preferment in supporting the "Shadow of God on Earth;" in Germany, the "throne of the Cæsars;" in England, the "Lords Anointed;" and in these United States, in assisting to raise expensive and useless establishments for keeping up the "dignity of a great and free people;" and also in impressing a "sense of national honour" on the public mind, calculated to promote a system of irritability towards foreign nations, in passing through the forms and wars consequent on which, he may envelope in deeper obscurity the "mystery of governing a nation," make himself the depository of public confidence, and find more complete opportunities for new modelling society according to all those sublime shades of distinction which exist in the Transatlantic world, from the monarch who dazzles the eye with splendid extravagance, and awes the subject with a sense of the power he possesses over his life and liberty, to the great mass of deluded fellow-creatures, who pass their dreary lives in toiling for their betters, and providing for the present hour, without knowing how the wants of the next are to be supplied.
Citizens of this happy country! a plain path lies before you. In the choice of men to administer your government, be careful to select those whose attachment to republican principles is undoubted. Entrust no man with the formation of your laws, whose sentiments lead to the assumption of unnecessary powers, and useless expenditures; who had rather spend millions in warlike parade, than think an hour on the best means of preserving peace. Personal considerations should never have preference of the public good; and even talents ought never to be preferred to principle. Talents, when possessed by a man unfriendly to our rights, ought to gain him our more decided opposition. The art of governing is more simple, too, than many are disposed to believe. All experience teaches, that nations are better governed by the principles of common prudence, than by the winding policy of statecraft. The latter must eventually procure the enemy, as it cannot fail to excite the jealousy of other nations; while a candid simplicity, which appears disposed to the view of the world, must command their respect. Let then the principles of free representative government be your guiding point, and support only such men as your representatives who are known to be the most ardently attached to them.
From the Journal Du Commerce. The peace of Europe is the act of the French government. After so
dreadful a war it was, no doubt, the most splendid favour which could ever be conferred on long suffering humanity; and cotemporaries will indubitably, in this respect, anticipate the judgement both of the historian and posterity at large—it required a considerable degree of ability to divert Paul I. from his cruel and long existing prejudices, and to detach him from a coalition to which he must have been the most devoted, as he was peculiarly influenced by romantic sentiments of honor and glory; this was the first measure adopted for carrying into execution a system not less bold than great, namely, of urging, (as it were, between France and Russia) the belligerent powers, and compelling them to make peace, and expedite the execution of former treaties—that conception, which has already proved so beneficial in its consequences, was the most powerful guarantee which had ever been given to Europe of a solid and permanent peace.
England had twice imposed upon us—Lord Cornwallis would have perhaps given us a repetition of the part which Malmesbury had played—the circle of Popilia was drawn, and the treaty was concluded. A message from the King of England to the House of Commons throws a dark shade over the peace, which was so much wished for, over this peace, which is necessary for his own subjects, as for the other nations of Europe. Now what does this same contain? What relates to heads of nations is to be spoken of with great circumspection and respect—supposing even that ridicule were to attach to their decrees, a different conduct would be attended with serious consequences; on such occasions testing must be out of the question.
The King of Great Britain thinks it necessary to inform the House of Commons that, on account of the great preparations carrying on in the ports of France and Holland, he deems it expedient to resort to measures of precaution for the safety of his dominions. We can neither deny nor dissemble the state in which our navy and that of Holland stood at the conclusion of the war—a nation should possess a military power in proportion to the extent of its territory, and of its commercial relations, as well as to the force which may eventually be brought against it—the first care, therefore, of our government should have been to restore our navy. The British government did not, to be sure, consider it was implied in the treaty that it could, at will, set limits to the number of our ships, and send over a commissary to the port of Dunkirk!—Those days are gone by. Why then this uneasiness with regard to a government which aimed so cordially at peace, which negotiated it with all its means, which commanded it with all its power, a peace which became so necessary for all Europe, perishing by a war, as inveterate as it was unreasonable.
For the better understanding of this message, we think it will be sufficient to translate into other words. What would be said of the French government, if it transmitted the following message of the legislative body! Government deems it necessary to inform the legislative body that, as the British government does not burn at least one half of its navy; that at a certain degree of battle prevails in the British ports, arsenals, and dock-yards; because it does not execute the treaties, &c. it judges it to be prudent to adopt measures of precaution for the safety of the state, &c."
There is certainly no difference between calling for the reduction of an existing force, or pretending to prevent the creation of necessary force; but there would be a difference with respect to the governments which would hold such language, and France might alledge motives, which should not, perhaps, meet the approbation of the British government, for we might repeat, it was the French who wish for, and who actually made and commanded peace; it was your British government, that wished for war—it is you then who are to be suspected, and who are calculated to awaken alarm.
England is borne down by an enormous debt, and she wishes to make us pay the interest of it, as well as the capital, by the means of a treaty of commerce, drawn up in a certain way—it is very good natured of her to make dupes of us!—We think, however, that if Europe has no right to consider us as cowards, she can adduce no reasons to prove us to be fools. After having conquered with our arms; after having negotiated with equal ability, foresight, magnanimity, and resolution, it must be
supposed that a government which was capable of such achievements; would have greatly degenerated, if it consented at once to pay, indirectly, the expenses of the war which was waged against us, and to furnish the means of renewing it!
The period must come when governments, as well as individuals, will do each other justice, and content, through their own exertions, to extricate themselves from their embarrassment, however great, and into which their own imprudence plunged them, under pain of falling into a worse and more unenviable predicament."
From the Morning Chronicle.
SIR, You will recollect that, some few days ago, I lent you a communication containing a few hints relative to the establishment of a Swearing Academy .—Since that time I have arranged the plan of it more correctly, and am strongly urged to carry it into execution, from a variety of circumstances. I have ever held the art of swearing in high estimation, both as it gives such a boldness and spirit to our language, and is so admirably calculated to supply the melancholy lack of ideas of the generality of our bucks, both young and old.
I have received two or three letters from different hands, which have a considerable effect in determining my resolution—as, for instance:
To Roderick A. Munderbolt, Esq. Dear Fellow, Read your packet to her morning, and glad to find something of the kind coming forward—want some flylish phrases to cut a line with—worn all old ideas and expressions thread-bare—find I can do nothing with them—any dirty raggamuffin in the street can swear better than myself—splashed all over by an old porter's wheel-barrow to-day—curled him a little—he retorted, and, in the swearing line, beat me all hollow—did it in great stuff—I don't admire fighting—think it a cursed bore—too much trouble you for a few courageous oaths, to make a great noise and frighten such as know no better.
Do, my dear Thunderbolt, take me under your wing a little while, just so as to enable me to quiz the natives a few, and I shall ever consider myself Yours truly, JACK PADDLE.
P.S. Took a few lessons from our black man Pompey, some time since; but did not much admire them, though I find they are generally in use among my acquaintance.
Let me know where you hang out, when you get your academy going.
So much for my friend Paddle. His letter will be considered by many as too worthless for publication; yet it is a pretty faithful specimen of the witty and interesting style of our modern bucks—I think it only wants the addition of a few well selected oaths to give it great value. Yours, R. THUNDERBOLT.
From the Paris official paper, of October 30, 1803, [translated for the Federal Gazette.]
There is a party of the English Journalists who are using every method to raise a division—every line they print is a line of blood. They are anxious to stir up a civil war in the bosom of the western nation, which is now happily at peace. All their arguments may be summed up under the two following heads; 1st, making imaginary complaints against France, and 2dly, creating allies very liberally, and endeavoring to impose their sentiments on the great powers of Europe.
Their principal complaints now, are the affairs of Switzerland, whose happy issue has excited their furious jealousy. It seems that they would have been much better pleased to see that unfortunate country a prey to civil war, in order that the harmony of Europe might be thereby interrupted. But the proclamation of the 10th Vendemaire has given a death blow to their expectations.
They appeal to the treaty of Luneville, which insures the independence of the Helvetic republic; but this treaty declares unequivocally that the interposition of France is indispensable. Now, of all the European powers, England has, in this respect, the least right to appeal to the treaty of Luneville; because she alone has refused to acknowledge the Helvetic republic. She has also refused to acknowledge the Italian republic, the Ligurian (or Genoese) republic, and the King of Tuscany. She has not only been obstinate in this respect, but it is well known that, in spite of the lively representations of the French govern-

He has refused to agree to the continental arrangements stipulated by the treaty of Lutzen. England has no diplomatic agents at Bern, Milan, Genoa or Florence.
The English government, cannot, therefore, with propriety, complain of what happens in countries whose political relations they do not, or with which they hold no public relations.
The affairs of Germany seem also to excite very strongly the jealousy of these periodical scribblers; and the resolute and generous conduct of France and Russia, for which they deserved the thanks of every man, of every city, and of every prince in Germany, is to these disturbers of Europe, a source of much malignant animadversion. The King of England has acknowledged all the arrangements in Germany, and he has adhered to them. To be certain of this, it is only necessary to read the vote of his minister in the diet of Ratisbon. The British cabinet, likewise, satisfied at seeing its interests well-managed, has, in this respect, not the smallest ground of complaint.
But, say the English libellists, the vote expressed by the king of England, as Elector of Hanover , is not the vote of the English nation! But in what other capacity has an inferior power a right to meddle in the affairs of Germany? And to what an object situation would Russia, Austria, Prussia, Sweden, Denmark, Bavaria, and the House of Wurttemberg, Baden, Hesse-Cassel, &c. and the French Republic, be reduced, if they could not negotiate, conclude, and arrange their mutual interests without the agreement of a power which has no more to do with these interests than with our diplomatic concerns! A power, too, which, at best, treats with contempt the rights of independent nations! The relations which exist between France and England were established by the treaty of Amiens, and go no further than the treaty of Amiens.
The allies which the party of scribblers in London have formed on the continent, as well as their numerous complaints, are happily confined to their own disorderly imaginations, and to the fretful and jealous dispositions with which they are tormented. They wish to entice the Austrian troops by specious arguments; they wish to form armies in Tyrol; but alas! Thugut is no more! and S. M. [His Majesty] the emperor well knows, that if the Austrian power was twice conducted to the borders of a frightful precipice, it was because they were twice led by those perfidious instigators.
The court of Vienna, far from wishing to shed the blood of its subjects, which is so dear to it, is daily diminishing its expenses, in order to pay faithfully for the subsidies which it received from England during the last campaign. That court, instead of paying the English government for those subsidies (which were spent in its own defence) might in justice demand five or six hundred millions from that government, as an indemnity for the expenses of the last war. About the middle of the last century, Kaunitz observed to the minister of the king of Prussia, who has taken his audience of departure, "the king your master will one day find how expensive an alliance with England is." And if Prussia did not fall when its frontiers were over-run, and its capital was besieged, it was entirely owing to a prince of glorious memory, and his army, who will be long held up as models worthy of imitation.
The editors of these seditious papers are also making great attempts to raise the Russian soldiers; but have these soldiers forgotten that, when they were abandoned in the march of Poland, they were disowned by England—who contrary to the rights of nations, did not wish to comprehend them in the exchange of prisoners? And will not the Russians, the Swedes and the Danes long keep in remembrance the unjust pretensions which brought on the bloody massacres at Copenhagen?
Certain it is, and the powers of the continent are fully convinced of it, that peace is the greatest of all blessings, and that it is, at the same time their dearest interest. They know full well that a war on the continent would have no other effect than to concentrate all the riches of commerce into the hands of a single nation, and bring all the colonies in the world under its protection.
Russia and France, united by reciprocal esteem, by common interests and by a sincere desire to maintain continual peace, will punish those restless beings who fill the English newspapers with political abuse, if ever their libels should cause that wise minister to be replaced, who governed Great-Britain.
Let any one mention a single continental power, for a hundred years past, which is withdrawn from a political alliance with the other continental powers, and has not justified that profound observation of M. de Kaunitz.
If the king of the Two-Sicilies has twice seen his frontiers and capital in the possession of the French—if the elector of Bavaria has twice witnessed the same scene in his states—if the king of Sardinia has lost Savoy and Piedmont—if the house of Orange has lost the Stadtholdership—if the Oligarchies of Berne and Genoa have beheld their influence vanish—and if Portugal has seen soldiers
on its borders ready to conquer the country—was it not all owing to their alliance with England?
The peace of Europe is solidly established, and no cabinet, undoubtedly, wishes to disturb it; but if it should happen that a few peevish individuals, enemies to mankind and to the tranquillity of the world, should obtain any influence in the British cabinet, they will be the cause of interrupting that felicity and mutual harmony, which they have a right to expect in a state of peace, and in the relations which they at present bear to each other.
In fine, the French people are not ignorant that these editors have excited a great deal of jealousy by their inflammatory publications, and that they are using every endeavor to foment foreign and domestic commotions; so that it behoves them constantly to keep in that attitude in which the Athenians placed Minerva, viz.— With the helmet on her head, and the lance in her hand. By this means, nothing will be ever gained from them by warlike preparations or menacing postures; for fear has no place in the hearts of the brave!
COMMUNICATION
Of Governor MILLEDGE, to both branches of the Legislature of Georgia.
Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives,
The object of your being now assembled at the seat of government, was expressed in the proclamation issued by me for the purpose of convening you.
The state has, for the first time under the national government, acquired an accession of jurisdictional territory, the treaty of Fort Wilkinson, concluded the 8th June, 1802, having been unanimously ratified by the Senate of the United States, and accepted, ratified & confirmed by the President, under the seal of the general government, on the 11th of January last.
The packet No. 1 contains a copy of the instrument so confirmed, which points out the limits of the territory ceded.
The treaty making department of the nation makes no difference, in the confirmation of treaties, whether they be with a civilized and enlightened people, or the rude savage of the wilderness—they pass through the respective branches of that department, and undergo all the forms of other treaties. The first treaty held under the general government with the Creek Indians was that of New York, where the treaty making power adopted the precedent respecting the ratification of Indian treaties. That treaty is well known to us all—it is remembered the date of that part of her domain called Tallassee county, and not until the treaty of Fort Wilkinson, under a change of national administration, did we get restored to us a small portion of that country, of which we have been deprived. But we need not doubt that there exists a disposition on the part of the general government to heal by every means in its power, the wound made on the jurisdiction of state right.
On the subject of the land ceded, I conceive it my duty to lay before you my ideas, trusting that they will be allowed to spring from motives pure and disinterested.
I have long reflected on the conduct which ought to be pursued in this interesting business, and if my sentiments should meet your approbation, I flatter myself our union, on this occasion, will gain the confidence and assent of every disinterested good citizen of the state. Let me earnestly request then, that while you are adopting a mode for locating the land, you will seriously and attentively reflect on the advantages that will result to the state, by requiring actual settlements and possession before grants establish qualified rights in the grantees; for if you do not guard all the avenues to private interest, you will find to your sorrow and the mortification of the state that nearly the whole of that fine country will centre in the hands of a few companies, and parcelled out and sold in all parts of the world—immense fortunes made by individuals—and the state robbed of its brightest prospects.
It is in vain for us to hope for an increase of population, an object so desirable for our country, if grants are allowed without the actual settlement and improvement of the lands granted. If head-rights should be permitted to be taken out in the manner they are, it will be seen in a short time, that every man in the country, whose habits, mode of life, and want of industry forbids his settling in a wilderness, will sell to whoever will buy and be at the expense required to obtain a grant. Review the pine land speculation. Here was a quantity of vacant land, and some of a quality fit for cultivation, that numbers might have settled with comfort and advantage to themselves and benefit to society. Yet millions of acres have been owned and sold by a few without acquisition or addition of any settlers. The strength and consequence of the state depends on population, no matter from what cause produced, and any measure which may foster monopolies of
land, must be the bane of that source of strength.
Georgia may be the most flourishing and important state in the union—view its geography and add to it population, and her advantages are incalculable—therefore smother in the bud, all hopes entertained by individuals, of accumulating in the western parts of this state, a large landed interest. Let us secure the industrious poor from the grasping hand of the rich speculator, who may at a future day possess and retail this land, at an exorbitant price; or, on humilating and degrading conditions. It is against the genius of our government to have large land holders, and if events and carelessness have heretofore brought us into this state of things, it is time they should be checked; for it is unnatural to enable a few to get rich at the expence of many who may and do want.
It may also be prudent to reserve from this cession some of the best fires and places for towns or public institutions, as the convenience of getting such spots, after the sale into the hands of individuals, is considerable, and the expence great—therefore reserves of that kind on vacant land, ought always to be made. I have laid this much to draw your attention to the importance of the subject, confident that the result of your deliberations will be for the public good.
The place of deposit, at New-Orleans, on the Mississippi, secured to our western fellow-citizens by the Spanish treaty, has been shut up by the Intendant of that port; by which unjust obstruction the commerce of the country bordering on that river is much injured and embarrassed—But we learn with satisfaction that the President of the United States has taken steps to arrest the progress of the injury, and has lent an enlightened and approved citizen as a special Envoy to negotiate on the subject. It is believed that the measure adopted by the Spanish Intendant is not sanctioned by the king his master. The negotiation will place us in a situation to know the cause of this unjustifiable act.
It must strike every dispassionate man, that it was wise and prudent in the President, to seek negotiation before war—Should we however find that the aggression has been ordered or countenanced, and no redress can be obtained, we may be compelled to resort to arms to do ourselves justice; and should this necessity occur, I am confident Georgia will be found as forward in defending the common rights of the nation, as either of her sister states.
The President, as you will find by the packet No. 2, in compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives of the United States, has called upon this, as well as other states, and urged the importance & indispensable necessity of vigorous exertions on the part of the state governments, to carry into effect the militia system, adopted by the national legislature, agreeably to the powers reserved to the states respectively, by the constitution of the United States—Under the circumstances mentioned, I beg leave to recommend to the legislature, to adopt immediate and efficient measures for arming the militia, and for providing a sufficient quantity of ammunition. Permit me also to recommend a revision of our militia laws, that if from the experience we have had of their operation any defects have been discovered they may be amended—and moreover, let me recommend to each of you, in your individual stations, to inculcate a military spirit and ardor among our fellow citizens, to aid and assist discipline within your respective counties, that we may be prepared, if required, for active war; always recollecting that well armed and disciplined militia, supercedes the necessity of a standing army, that instrument which has proved so destructive to the liberties of mankind in every quarter of the world.
It affords me pleasure to be enabled to transmit for your consideration the excellent observations of our Adjutant general, colonel Fauche, on the militia system, which you will also find in packet No. 2.
By the act passed the last session of the legislature, pointing out a mode for adjusting the claims of the citizens of this state against the Creek Nation, it was made the duty of the Comptroller General to examine, and make out schedules, of all such claims as should be laid before him by the executive, within three months thereof. I accordingly called on that officer, within the time limited, to comply with the requisition of the law, and receive the claims which were deposited in the executive office. The packet No. 3, contains a copy of my letter to him on the subject, and his answer, by which you will perceive his reasons for not entering on the duties by that law assigned him. The evidences of claim against the Indians therefore remain unacted on.
On the 8th day of January last, Mr. Seymour, of the firm of Seymour, Woolhopter and Stebbins, printers of Savannah, deposited in the Secretary of the State's Office, the manuscript digest of the laws of Georgia, as compiled by Horatio Marbury and William H. Crawford esqrs. from which the printed work now in that office was taken. I deemed it necessary, in order that the
work should be as complete and perfect as possible to appoint three persons to examine the same, not only with the manuscript, but with the originals from which it was compiled. That being done, errors as are contained in the errata which is now annexed to each digest, as in the one transmitted for your examination have been found.
The act of the sixth of December 1799, to carry into effect the 8th section of the 3d article of the constitution, authorised the Governor, to approve or disapprove of such Digest of the laws, as should be compiled in compliance with that act; and his excellency James Jackson, then governor of the state, did, on the 3d of March 1801, confirm and establish, Marbury, and Crawford's reported digest, as the digest of the state, "believing that every useful act is in it, and that no material act, to injure private or public happiness is withdrawn or concealed from it."
The same section, in the article of the constitution just mentioned, declares, "that within five years after the adoption of that instrument, the body of our laws, civil and criminal, shall be revised, digested, and arranged under proper heads, and promulgated in such manner, as the legislature may direct." I therefore anticipate, that on the 30th of the ensuing month, [May] the term of time allowed for that purpose will expire, and suggest the propriety of your pointing out as early as possible the manner in which you would wish the two thousand copies of the printed digest to be distributed.
The packet No. 4, contains a copy of the affidavit of Gordon I. Seymour, which shews the reason of the manuscript's not being returned at the time stipulated by him and his partners, in their contract for printing the digest, and also a statement, shewing what they contracted to print the work for, the amount they have received, and the balance now due them from the state, for the payment of which, the legislature is in justice bound to make immediate provision.
Since the adjournment of the last Legislature several persons have presented for settlement, accounts for supplies furnished the militia of the lower division, when guarding the seacoast against the landing of the French Brigands; the claims appear to justify, that I hope you will allow payment. The danger of insurgent negroes landing on our coasts, were not groundless—the corporation of Savannah, communicated the information to my predecessor, and the major general of that division, and upon that information, steps were immediately taken for preventing it; the expences of which are an undoubted charge upon the Treasury. The corporation were seriously impressed with the danger, as you will perceive by the packet No. 5, which also shews, that our sister state, South-Carolina, was equally vigilant. Under these impressions, I must be allowed to recommend the Legislature's authorizing the settlement of the accounts, that warrants may be drawn on the Treasury for their payment.
Colonels Carnes, Early, and Harris under an appointment with I made, in compliance with a concurrent resolution of the 20th of November last, repaired to the Cherokee nation, to endeavor to prevail on the Indians, to forbear committing outrage on our citizens, who have settled beyond the temporary line, and to suffer them to remain peaceably on their settlements. It being at the season of the year when they reached the nation, that the Indians were dispersed over their country, in pursuit of game, a sufficient number of them could not be collected to give a final answer to the request of our commissioners which rendered a second meeting necessary. This took place in February last when col. Early alone attended. The Indians at that time, as reported to me by Col. Early, consented to permit the inhabitants to remain until the 10th of this month, which is now passed. A copy of concurrent resolutions of the 20th of November last, relative to those inhabitants, was transmitted to our representatives in Congress, and by them laid before the President of the United States, who as you will perceive by the packet number 6, feels disposed, and will cause such steps to be taken, as are requisite for obtaining the land from the Cherokees, whereon our inhabitants are settled, as well as the residue in the Fork of the Oconee and Ocmulgee rivers, and Tallassee county.
A man in Hancock, by the name of Joseph Bridges was at the last superior court, held for that county, convicted of, and condemned to be executed for murder; but on account of applications in his favor, which you will find by the packet number 7, I was induced to respite the execution of his sentence, until the 20th of the next month in order that he might have an opportunity of applying to the Legislature for pardon, that being the department of government, which alone could grant one, for his offence.
A list of executive appointments, made under the 9th section of the constitution, to fill vacancies which have happened during the recess of the General Assembly, is submitted for your consideration, marked number 8.
Thus much I have thought proper to
lay before you at this time, knowing that the season of the year is materially interesting to the planter, and that your anxiety will be great to return, as soon as possible, to your respective homes. I assure you, that whatever depends on me, will cheerfully and readily be done, either as to the whole or part of what I have communicated, or any thing your experience and reflection may suggest, which has for its object the public good.

JUDGE CHASE'S CHARGE.
On the first Monday in this month the Circuit Court of the United States was held at Baltimore by Judge Chase and Judge Winchester. Judge Chase, as is usual, delivered a charge to the Grand Jury, composed of citizens from different counties of Maryland, a large majority of whom, though nominated by a republican Marshal, and drawn from a republican state, was decidedly federal. This charge may be pronounced the most extraordinary that the violence of federalism has yet produced, and exhibits humiliating evidence of the unfortunate effects of disappointed ambition. It is to be regretted that it has not been officially published, as it is almost impossible, without presenting it entire, to give an adequate idea of its contents, and as it would then have been out of the power of party spirit to deny its accuracy. The following summary statement of it has been ready for the press for more than two weeks; but has been withheld until this time, in the hope that the whole charge would appear. It is only necessary further to premise that it was taken by a person present; and that the public may rely that it does not contain a sentiment that was not avowed by the Judge, though it may omit many remarks that were made by him. In some emphatic sentences the words are nearly such as he used; though, for the most part, greater regard has been paid to the ideas than the language.
After a definition of the offences cognizable by the grand jury, Judge Chase said he hoped he should be pardoned for making a few additional observations. He had, he remarked, been uniformly attached to a free republican government, and had actively participated in our revolutionary struggle to obtain it. He still remained warmly attached to the principles of government then established. Since that period, however, certain opinions had sprung up which threatened with ruin the fair fabric then raised. It had been contended that all men had equal rights derived from nature, of which society could not rightfully deprive them. This he denied. He could conceive of no rights in a state of nature, which was in fact entirely a creature of the imagination, as there was no condition of man in which he was not, under some modification, subject to a particular leader or particular species of government. True liberty did not, in his opinion, consist in the possession of equal rights, but in the protection by the law of the person and property of every member of society, however various the grade in society he held. Nor did it consist in the form of government in any country. A monarchy might be free, and a republic in slavery. Wherever the laws protected the person and property of every man there liberty existed, whatever the government was. Such, said he, is our present situation. But much he feared that soon, very soon, our situation will be changed. The great bulwark of an independent judiciary has been broken down by the legislature of the United States, and a wound inflicted upon the liberties of the people which nothing but their good sense can cure.
[Judge Chase here went into an affection of the right of the judiciary to decide on the constitutionality of laws.] He then adverted to the proceedings of the legislature of Maryland. He commented on the wisdom and patriotism of those who had framed the constitution of that state. That wisdom and patriotism had never conceived liberty to consist in every man possessing equal political rights. To secure property the right of suffrage had been limited. The convention had not imagined, according to the new doctrine, that property would be best protected by those who had themselves no property. The great rampart established in the limitation of suffrage was now demolished by the principle of universal suffrage engrained in the constitution. In addition to this, a proposition was now submitted, whose ratification depended upon the next legislature, and which, if ratified, would destroy the independence and respectability of the judiciary, and make the administration of justice dependent upon legislative discretion. If this shall, in addition to that which establishes universal suffrage, become part of the constitution, nothing will remain that will be worth protecting. Instead of being ruled by a regular and respectable government, we shall be governed by an ignorant mobocracy. When he reflected on the ruinous effects of these measures, he could not but blush at the degeneracy of sons who destroyed the fair fabric raised by the patriotism of their fathers.
To do justice to this extraordinary performance would require an extensive commentary. It is necessary to call upon the reader to hold in recollection the fact that it is the charge of a judge of the United States, delivered in his official capacity,
and in the discharge of his official duty. Its propriety ought, therefore, to be principally tested by its conformity to that duty. It is very possible for a private citizen to say or do many things without reproach, which a judge cannot say or do without a large share of it. The oath of a justice of the supreme court will show what his duty is. It is as follows:
"I do solemnly swear or affirm, that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent on me as _____, according to the best of my abilities and understanding, agreeably to the constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God."
This oath imposes an obligation, to administer justice, agreeably to the constitution and laws of the United States.
It limits his power to the administration of justice; this is its sum; beyond it he shall not go—and it determines the manner in which justice shall be administered. It shall be "agreeably to the constitution and laws of the United States;" and in no other manner.
Let any man then read the foregoing statement, and say whether the political sentiments avowed by the judge can, with the least pretension to common sense, be called the administration of justice. The administration of justice is well understood. It consists not in political disquisitions however correct. Much less does it consist in unjust reproaches cast upon the federal government, upon its rulers and laws; upon the state governments, their rulers and laws; and upon the fundamental and characteristic principles of the nation itself.
Much less can it be said that such sentiments avowed from the bench constitute the administration of justice "agreeably to the constitution and laws of the United States?"
That constitution and those laws command a judge of the United States to regard and respect the constitutions and laws of the several states, where they do not interfere with the constitution or laws of the United States.
The constitution declares that "the United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government." And the 34th section of the judiciary law enacts "that the laws of the several states, except where the constitution, treaties or statutes of the United States shall otherwise require or provide, shall be regarded as rules of decision in trials at common law in the courts of the United States in cases where they apply."
Maryland has now a republican form of government which, it is thus made the constitutional duty of the government of the United States, of which the judges form a part, to guarantee. A material part of that form of government consists in a prescribed mode of changing it. In that way it has been changed; and it is against these changes, all of which render it more republican than it previously was, that Judge Chase inveighs. To a certain, nay a probable event, the judge says there will be nothing in her constitution worth preserving. Such denunciation is not only extra-judicial, but is in direct violation of that obligation, which in making the constitution and laws of the United States his guide, embraced so much of the constitution and laws of Maryland as applied to cases before him, and which were not contrary to the federal constitution and laws. What would be said of a federal judge who boldly pronounced of the federal constitution, there was nothing in it worth preserving, when his very oath of office constituted him its guardian? The same condemnation bestowed on such a denunciation is merited by the judge, who applies similar terms to a state constitution; for one is but a ramification of the other, so far as relates to his official duty.
Nothing has been yet said of the motives of Judge Chase. God only certainly knows his motives. Still every intelligent man will form an opinion of those motives which probably influenced him. Could they be pure motives? Look to the effects his declarations were calculated to produce. In his contemplation, if productive of any effect whatever, they must have been considered as likely to alienate the citizens from both the government of the union, and that of Maryland; to produce a sentiment of dissatisfaction; to augment party violence; and to enkindle a disorganizing spirit. Are these the legitimate fruits of an impartial administration of justice? Do they evince a love of order, of truth, of benevolence, of patriotism, of anything honorable in public, or amiable in private life?
Judge Chase says he was a republican during the revolution, and still is a republican. From this we may infer that his sentiments are the same now that they then were. By his own avowal let him be tried. What did we contend for during the revolution? For political liberty. In what does political liberty consist? In the right of self government. And yet Mr. Chase asserts that a nation may be free where this right is not enjoyed by the people. This then is the republicanism of Judge Chase; but it is the despotism of a genuine republican.
New opinions are said to have sprung up; and the possession of equal rights even in a state of nature is denied and laughed at as a chimera of the fancy.
Liberty is declared, not to consist in equal rights, but in the protection of the person and property by the law. Here the learned judge mistakes cause for effect. Good laws flow from liberty, and not liberty from good laws. The best laws will soon degenerate, and become so many instruments of oppression unless the nation polices the right of amending or annulling them, and of controlling those who administer them.
Liberty does not consist in the form of government in any country. A monarchy may be free, and a republic in slavery. Here we, at length, behold the cloven foot. By such performances as this the public mind is to be prepared for monarchy.
Wherever the laws protect the person and property of every man TRUE LIBERTY EXISTS, WHATSOEVER THE GOVERNMENT IS. This then is the liberty of Judge Chase. He is indifferent to the government, so that the laws be good. Here again is a jumbling of cause and effect. Who make the laws? The government. And yet it is a matter of no consequence what the government is. As well might we affirm the Sun of no importance so long as we enjoy its light and heat, to which we are indebted for all that sustains existence. This remark is very absurd. But it merits attention, not so much for its absurdity, as for its evidence of a rooted attachment to monarchy. The remaining remarks of the judge need no commentary. They denounce with indiscriminate indecorum, the measures of Congress and of Maryland. There is no mind that will not fully understand their meaning, and duly appreciate the motives in which they originated. Such, citizens of the United States, is the offspring of a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, a member of that venerable and sacred bench, constituted by you the guardians of your rights and liberties!
New-York, May 16.
The ship South-Carolina, capt. Steele, 39 days from Havre-de-Grace, arrived at this port yesterday. We have received by her a file of Paris papers to the 3d of April, but they furnish no news—An intelligent gentleman who came passenger in the South-Carolina, and who during his residence in France, has employed himself in noting, with much precision, the 'passing tidings of the times,' has obligingly favored us with the following particulars:
Mr. Monroe had not arrived at Havre on the 6th of April. Gen. Bernadotte had received instructions to be in readiness to take his departure for the United States in the month of May, as minister plenipotentiary. His retinue will be very numerous; and the splendor of the embassy will, it is thought, be without any previous example in this country.
After the 1st of Germinal (March 21) the current coin of the French Republic will bear the "Image and superscription" of the First Consul.
Malta remained in possession of the British; and it was said by some, that the French had relinquished it for seven years.
The Island of Sardinia, according to reports, had been purchased by the English government for thirty millions of livres; but the French had expressed their determination to prevent the taking possession thereof.
Couriers between England & France were frequent. Mr. Wright (a messenger) passed through Havre on the 28th of March, on his way to Paris. On being questioned, What he thought of the present crisis? he answered, It will be decided in a few days.
The number of Englishmen in Paris was computed at 15,000. They were leaving that city with much precipitation. The Dutchels of Dorset and her son had taken leave of the First Consul, and were to quit Paris on the 4th of April.
The preparations for war on the part of the French progressed slowly; and from this circumstance, as well as from the supposition that Bonaparte would make some sacrifices to his love of peace, hostilities were not expected to take place at present. In the mean while this state of lullence has very injurious effects on commerce. Vessels ready to sail for all parts of the world were waiting in port for the decision of this important question; and the rates of insurance, which were at 1 1-4 had risen to 3 1-2 and 4 per cent.
Twenty ships of the line were on the stocks at Brest.
The First Consul having determined to put St. Domingo in the same state as before the revolution, 50,000 troops were to be sent there in the month of May—The nephew of Gen. Rochambeau was at Havre ready to sail for the Cape. He will be the bearer of dispatches for his uncle from the First Consul, which it is said contain orders not to spare any of the negroes taken in rebellion! Toussaint remained in confinement in the tower of Besancon! All the negroes found in France were ar-
rested and taken on board the ships at Brest.
The First Consul and family, the ministers of war, of the interior, and of finance, the counsellors of state, senators, and several officers of distinction, with a guard of 1200 men, were to leave Paris on the 12th of May for Boulogne, where they were to be met by the Archduke Charles, the king of Prussia, and general Moreau. This meeting is supposed to have for its object an alliance between Austria, Prussia and France. Egypt was evacuated by the British on the 10th of February.
A secret Senate Consult, it is said, has increased the allowance of the First Consul to the immense sum of thirty-six millions of livres per annum.
The vessels fitted out for the expedition to Louisiana were yet in the ports of the Batavian Republic. The British minister having declared that on their going out, the cruisers of his nation would take possession of them, is probably the cause of their detention. They have been ready for sea more than five months.
The South Carolina is the bearer of the Cables which have been made from some of the principal statues in Europe, for the American academy of arts lately established in this city.

From the Commercial Advertiser
New-York, 16 May, 1803.
Sir,
I am requested by our minister in France to communicate publicly, that he had on the 11th March received the most flattering letter in answer to one addressed by him to the First Consul, on the subject of our debts, &c. in which the most full and complete assurances are given that every letter of the convention shall be punctually complied with—That their finances are in the best situation and capable of meeting all engagements, and that even were it otherwise, and tho' it should submit them to partial inconveniences, he would surely comply with the demands of justice, and calls upon the minister to make out the accounts of American claims, for which he promises a full and ready payment. The minister adds, that he gives this early intelligence, because it will probably come through other channels, as he intended to call the Americans at Paris together the next day, and communicate to them in which case, he feared that interested persons might speculate on the wants of those who have already suffered too much by the delay. He concludes by saying, that without being absolutely certain, he thought he might confide in the promises, so solemnly made, and that he would press eagerly their execution.
EDWARD P. LIVINGSTON.
The celebrated and beautiful high-blooded running horse
WILD MEDLEY,
WILL stand in the city of Washington, to be let to mares at twenty-five dollars the season which will commence on the 10th of March instant, and end on the 10th day of August next; but twenty dollars will be received in full discharge, if paid within the season, and one dollar to the groom in all cases. Good and extensive pasture, well included, at 50 cents per week, near the city; but though the utmost care will be taken, there will be no responsibility for accidents or escape. The above horse is in the highest form, and with uncommon powers. He measures full fifteen hands three inches high, and a beautiful deep blood bay. He was lately imported by Mr. Stubbsfield of Gloucester county, Virginia, by W. Thornton—Enquiries concerning this capital horse may be made at Mr. Rhodes's, and Mr. Lovell's Tavern.
March 8th, 1803.
P. D I T G R E R.
(Which cannot be excelled.)
Wild Medley was gotten by the imported horse old Medley, his dam by Wilddam, his grand dam by Shandy, his great grand dam was the famous running mare old Sportley, which was gotten by old Janus. The dam of Sportley was purchased by General Thomas Nelson from the Sydnor family, and sold by him to Col. Lewis Burwell of Gloucester county.
Given under our hands this 14th day of January, 1803.
Menzes Thornton,
Lewis Burwell.
I had the following from good authority
Wild Medley, (which was foaled the property of Mr. Nuttall of Gloucester county) ran at four years old four times, and never was pulled, but won every race under a hard pull. He won at Urbanna the two mile heats. He won at King William controverted the three mile heats. He won at Gloucester another purse, and lastly was run by Colonel Hopkins at Hanover Town, and won as I heard, with much credit, the four mile heats. His owner then died, and he has not run since, but has been kept as a stud.
William Johnston.
I certify that I saw Wild Medley run at Urbanna, and in the two mile heats double distance even of the best horses in the country, the first heat, although he carried fifteen pounds over weight, and his rider kept him back as much as laid in his power.
Ralph Wormeley, Jun.
March, 1803.
I do certify, that I had two foals got by Wild Medley, a filly four years old this spring sold to John Taylor, Esquire, of Mount Airy, for 1200 dollars, and a colt now three years old this spring, for which I would not take less than 1500 dollars; and I also am acquainted with several of Wild Medley's colts, which I think as fine as any I know, and I think him as good a foal-getter as any horse that ever stood in these parts.
John Wood.
Gloucester county, March 1, 1803.
Wood's filly won the Urbanna Sweepstakes last June, beating Mr. Hall's horse; my filly, by Cormorant; and colt Kempshall, by Amicus; and I think (but am unable to say positively) she distanced the field the second heat. I also understood she won the Sweepstakes at Wood's Ordinary in Gloucester, by distancing the field. Both these Sweepstakes were two mile heats.
John Taylor.
I do certify, that I have seen Wood's filly and colt now in training at Mount Airy, the son of John Taylor, Esq. and I think them both elegant; the colt the best of his age I ever saw. I have also seen Mr. Gibb's colt, and think him fine. I am credibly informed that Mr. Giles Cook, Colonel Thomas Ross, Major Thomas Hartley, Mr. William Roberson, Mr. Joseph Hall, and several others, all from 500 to 800 dollars for each of their colts by Wild Medley; and I never heard of a horse having so good a character as a foal-getter, nor so much lamented in leaving a place, as Wild Medley in leaving Gloucester county.

THE ARABIAN HORSE THE DEY OF ALGIERS,
WILL stand this season at Mount-Air, near Piscataway, in Maryland, and will cover at Forty Dollars the season, and one Dollar to the Groom (commencing the 10th of March, and to end the 1st of August) the money to be paid with the Mares.
This beautiful animal was brought from Arabia, in the year '98, at four years old, by the late grand Balliff Bromm of Prussia, into this kingdom, and was purchased at the sale of the Balliff's Stud, after his death, at Fez- hellen in '99, by Lieutenant General Freder- ick Baron of Diemar, by whom he was sent to Hamburg to Col. Swan, whence he was by that gentleman shipped to America: to sell which, and to prove him to be a genuine Arabian horse, original certificates are in my hands, and may at all times be seen.
The Dey is of full Rature for his race; he measures exactly fourteen hands two inches and an half. His color is nearly white, with a few brown spots dabsed over his neck and shoulders. In figure and bone, it is believed he will stand the rest of the best judgment. He is only eight years old the coming Spring. He is of fine presence and carriage, and re- markably vigorous and active.
I have excellent and extensive pasture well fenced, adjoining the stand, at 50 cents per week. Great care shall be taken of mares, and every justice done them with the horse— but I will be answerable for no accidents or escapes. If gentlemen at a distance choose to send servants with their mares, they shall be provided for on reasonable terms.
