(To commence the 1st of March next.)
2. An act to amend the several acts empowering Securities to recover damages in a summary way.
When any court shall hereafter render judgment, on motion, in favor of a security or his representatives, against any principal and his representatives, for any sum of money or quantity of tobacco; such court
shall allow interest from the time such money or tobacco shall have been paid by the security, till the judgment is discharged.
3. An act further to extend the jurisdiction of justices of the peace.
When any debt or penalty exclusive of interest, or the subject in controversy in trover and conversion or detinue, shall not exceed twenty dollars any one justice may determine it, and give judgment according to the principles of law and equity, for principal and interest, or the value of the subject in controversy with damages and costs, and award execution to be directed to any constable or other officer within the commonwealth, against the goods and chattels of the party to be executed and returned as other writs of fieri facias; but no execution shall be granted against the body by a justice: Provided, that no justice shall take cognizance of an attachment where the sum demanded shall exceed 10 dollars.
The cause of action shall be stated in every warrant for debt, detinue or trover, which warrant shall be returnable before the same or some other justice, at a certain day not exceeding thirty from the date.
On judgments exceeding ten dollars exclusive of costs and interest, execution shall be stayed forty days, on the parties giving such security as the justice rendering the judgment shall approve, for the payment thereof with interest till it is satisfied. And if it is not paid within that period, execution shall be granted by such justice against the party and his security jointly, on which no security shall be taken.
Either party where the debt or subject of trover, or detinue or damages exclusive of interest shall exceed ten dollars, or the sum demanded on any penal statute shall exceed five dollars may within 5 days from the rendition of the judgment, enter an appeal to the next monthly term of the county or corporation court, giving such security as the justice rendering the judgment shall deem sufficient for the payment thereof and all costs and damages in case it shall be affirmed.
The verbal acknowledgment of any security required to be taken by this act, shall be sufficient, and the endorsement of the justice of the name of such security upon the warrant, on which the judgment is rendered, shall be conclusive evidence of such acknowledgment.
Appeals shall be tried in a summary way without pleadings in writing on the day to which they are returnable, unless good cause for a continuance be shown; and the court shall decide thereon, according to the principles of law and equity.
Upon an affirmance, the judgment shall be entered against the principal and his security jointly, for the amount of the original judgment and costs of appeal, with damages after the rate of ten per cent per annum upon the whole amount of the original judgment and costs from the date thereof till payment and execution thereon shall issue against both principal and security, to be endorsed. "no security to be taken." And if the judgment be reversed the appellant shall recover full costs.
Every justice from whose decision an appeal is prayed, shall on or before the day to which it is returnable, transmit to the clerk the original warrant, with the judgment and name of the security endorsed thereon. And the clerk shall docket the same and be entitled to the same fees upon such appeals as are allowed to clerks of the circuit courts for similar services.
Any person who shall be compelled to pay money as security under this act, or his legal representatives, shall have the same remedy against the principal, and his representatives, by motion for the amount paid with interest and costs, as other securities are entitled to.
When the constable or other officer to whom an execution shall hereafter be directed by a justice, shall not be able to find goods and chattels to satisfy it, he shall make return thereof to the clerk of his county or corporation, who shall docket the same. And the party shall be entitled to such writ or writs of execution for the amount due, as if the judgment upon which such execution issued had been rendered in court. And the same proceedings shall be had upon executions to be issued by the clerks under this act, and they shall have the same fees for their services, as in the case of executions founded upon judgments rendered by a court of law.
Every justice shall have power to issue executions and subpoenas for witnesses to be directed to the constable or other officer of any county within the commonwealth, where the party or witness resides. If any constable or other officer shall fail to make return of any execution to be directed
under this act, on or before the return day—(which shall in no case exceed 60 days from the date) any justice, on 10 days notice, upon motion of the party injured, may fine such constable or other officer, in any sum not exceeding 5 per cent. amount, upon the amount of such execution, coacting from the return day.
Whoever shall bring any action or suit, if it shall appear, either by his own showing, or the verdict of a jury, that a justice had cognizance under this act, shall be non-suited.
Lawyer's fees, upon appeals under this act, shall be the same as heretofore allowed upon petitions and summonses, to be taxed in the bill of costs.
If any constable or other officer shall hereafter receive any money or tobacco upon any execution hereafter to be directed by any justice, and shall not pay the same to the party entitled, on the return of such execution, the party injured or his legal representatives shall have the same remedy, by motion for the sum received with interest and costs, against such constable or other officer and his security or securities, his her or their executors, and administrators, to which he would have been entitled against a sheriff for money received on an execution issued upon a judgment of a court of law. And the court of the county or corporation in which the bond of such constable or other officer is, or shall be deposited, shall have power to hear such motion and render judgment thereon.
Every court reversing the judgment of a justice, shall pronounce such final judgment, as, in their opinion, such justice ought to have rendered.
All acts contrary hereto, and particularly so far as relates to petitions for small debts, &c. are repealed. But all petitions undetermined before the commencement of this act, shall be proceeded on, as if this act had not been made.
[To commence the 1st day of June next.]
4. An act declaring the law in case of discounts and offsets.
Upon the trial of any suit, in a court, for any debt due by judgment, bond, bill or otherwise, the defendant shall have liberty to make all the discount he can against such debt, and upon proof thereof, the same shall be allowed in court. (To commence the 1st of May next.)
5. An act to amend the act for reducing into one the several acts prescribing the oaths of fidelity, and oaths of public officers.
Any person refusing to take an oath in the manner the same hath heretofore been usually administered, and declaring religious scruples to be the true and only reason of such refusal, if he or she shall use the solemnity and ceremony, and repeat the formulary observed on similar occasions, by those of the church or religious society of which such persons professeth to be a member, or to join in communion with, or shall use the solemnity and ceremony, and repeat the formulary which, in his or her opinion, is or ought to be observed on such occasions, according to the religion in which such person professeth to believe, he or she shall thereupon be deemed a competent witness, or be as duly qualified to execute an office, or perform any other act, to the sanction whereof an oath is or shall be required by law, and shall be subject to the same rules, derive the same advantages, or incur the same penalties or forfeitures as if he or she had sworn—All acts within the purview of this repealed. (To commence from the passing)
Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, January 26.
A confidential message was received from the Senate by Mr. Smith of Maryland. The doors were closed a short time and when the reporter entered the clerk was reading a supplementary message of the president, containing further testimony from general Wilkinson of the guilt of Messrs. Bollman and Swartout, and a Mr. Alexander, an attorney in Orleans.
The house having taken off the injunction of secrecy, proceeded to the discussion of the bill received from the Senate, for suspending the writ of Habeas Corpus.
Mr. Burwell spoke against the bill, but in so low a voice that he could not be heard at a distance.
It was moved to reject the bill.
The bill suspends the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus for three months from the time of the bill's passing.
Mr. Elliot spoke against the bill as unnecessary and unconstitutional.

Mr. Eppes. "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended but in cases of actual rebellion and invasion, and the public safety shall require it." Such are the provisions of the constitution. The public safety does not now require it.
From the president's message it appears plain that not the least danger exists. The few desperadoes at the westward are scattered. The expedition is now at an end. I will vote for as many bayonets as there are traitors in the country; I will go to any justifiable length in crushing this conspiracy, if not already crushed, but I will not thus unnecessarily and unconstitutionally pass a law subversive of liberty herself.
Mr. Varnum. A rebellion now exists; the conspiracy is extensive. Foreign aid is perhaps at the command of Burr. It is a dangerous and deeply laid conspiracy. Without this suspension I fear the leading conspirators will never be detected. The public safety requires this suspension; this writ has not been suspended since the adoption of the constitution; but there has never been a conspiracy of this nature. There is not the least danger that any innocent man will suffer. The liberties of the people are not affected by a temporary suspension.
Mr. R. Nelson. I shall vote in favor of the motion to reject the bill. What is a writ of habeas corpus but a writ issued by a judge of a court having competent jurisdiction, bringing before him a person confined and examining into the legality of his confinement, and if he is of opinion from the testimony, that there is not sufficient proof or probability of guilt, he will discharge him. It is a security to the innocent; it is a writ to which every man is entitled; it is strongly guaranteed by the constitution.
There is no necessity for this. There is no rebellion. The little, desperate, trifling conspiracy at the westward ought not to be dignified with the name of a rebellion. It is crushed; and this is no crisis of danger.
Mr. Sloan. I shall vote against this bill. But I differ in opinion from many gentlemen, for I believe this conspiracy of far greater extension and magnitude than most people.
Mr. Bidwell hoped the bill would not be rejected. There is a "rebellion" existing; on that constitutional point I have no doubt; and I believe the public safety requires this suspension. I do not apprehend any abuse of power, or any injury to a single innocent man from a temporary suspension of this writ. I do not think the public safety requires this suspension to assist in crushing the conspiracy; but to bring conspirators to justice. I shall vote against the motion.
Mr. Randolph said he was very glad to see the opposition that had appeared to the bill. [Mr. Randolph here made several remarks on the mode of treating bills that come from the senate.] Out of respect for the senate, some gentlemen regretted the motion for immediate rejection; he felt no such regret. A bill of that hideous aspect ought to be immediately rejected. The senate had produced this bill when sitting with closed doors: had he offered such a bill he should certainly wish the doors closed, that his conduct or his arguments should not be known. No recommendation of this measure has come from the executive, till perhaps now, since the violation of the writ of habeas corpus. He would not pass a bill to cover such violations. Support the constitutional privileges of the citizen, whether exalted or debased—Callender had his constitutional rights, whatever his character might have been. The question is now at issue, shall the military or the civil authority bear superior sway? The bill is calculated to give a softening to certain military usurpations—Persons have been taken by a military commander and transported here, contrary to the provisions of the constitution—Cataline, Catilines, and Lentulus have few followers or resources. The suspension is not needed for the purpose of suppressing such an intrigue. The "public safety" alone does not authorize the suspension; but in actual "rebellion" or "invasion." This dreaded conspiracy can only be called an intrigue, set on foot, assuredly so, by foreign influence, operating on such materials as every country must afford.
Under the most imperious necessity alone would he consent to a suspension of this writ. This will indeed be a new era in congress if such a bill passes; an epoch as important as the establishment of a dictatorship at Rome.
Will you in this way permit persons to be put into the hold of a tender or an oyster
boat, and send them where you please, to Passamaquoddy, to Alexandria or else where, without law?
What compensation can be made for sufferings in feeling and in character, in cases of innocence. This bill once passed may be continued; it is an entering wedge to the most horrible consequences.
One other bill, the twin brother of this, and he would quit the country; he meant the English bill in 1794 for suppressing sedition; tyranny would then be completely established.
Mr. Randolph here opposed some details of the bill.
Mr. Smith spoke against the bill. It has not been suspended even in England but on pressing occasions—there is now neither a rebellion nor an invasion; the writ of habeas corpus cannot then be suspended—nor is its suspension necessary.
Mr. Dana had intended to vote against the motion to reject, out of respect to the senate; but the senate had been hurried into a bill of the most hideous principles; it was not a subject for the deliberation of the house. The bill even goes to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in cases where actual arrest has taken place; it becomes an ex post facto law; it ought to be at once rejected.
The ayes and noes on the motion to reject were    Ayes  113    Noes  19  
TUESDAY Jan 27.
Mr. R. Nelson reported a bill supplementary to the act making provision for the organization of the militia of the district of Columbia. Twice read, and referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.

Our dates by the last Western mail, are to the 30th of December from Natchez, and to the 8th of January from Nashville. From the latter place letters are received, which state that Burr had passed Fort Massac, on the Ohio, with ten boats, on board each of which there were six men. It is said there was no appearance of military stores or apparatus. Gen. Jackson, who had for some time held a body of militia in readiness, had, in consequence of this information, discharged them.

A motion was made on Monday to the court for a writ of attachment against col. Wharton, commandant of the marine corps, and lieutenant Mead, for not delivering the persons of Messrs. Bollman and Swartout, agreeable to the writs of Habeas Corpus. The court decided that a writ of attachment could not be
granted till three days after issuing of the Habeas corpus.
Yesterday the court decided the question whether or not a warrant for arresting Messrs. Bollman and Swartout, for treason, misprison of treason, or any other crime, could be issued from the evidence before them. The opinion of chief justice Cranch was in the negative; that of the other two judges was in the affirmative. Accordingly they were brought into court; counsel was allowed them, and they were committed to prison. This day their counsel will argue against the legality of their commitment.

DISTRICT COURT.
Cafe of Swartout and Bollman.
MONDAY, January 26.
This day Mr. Caldwell moved for an attachment to issue against col. Wharton and lieut. Mead, for refusing to obey a writ of habeas corpus, which was served upon Samuel Swartout upon Saturday night. Another writ of habeas was at the same time issued for Dr. Erick Bollman.
Mr. Jones, on the part of the U. States, opposed issuing the attachment, on the grounds, that a sufficient time had not elapsed for the officers to obey the writ, as likewise on the strength of an affidavit made by general Eaton, to prove the existence of a conspiracy against the union.
Mr. Dorsey and Mr. Francis S. Key both replied as counsel for Swartout and Bollman. Mr. Key argued that they did not consent for the attachment on the statute of Charles II. but as a privilege to which they were entitled on the principles of common law.
Mr. Jones insisted that by the statute of Charles the 2d three days were allowed for the writ of habeas corpus, and that consequently the same period must be granted on the principles of common law. He also said that the statute of Charles II. and not common law ought to be the guide in the present case, and that no other a nisi process ought to issue before a writ of attachment.
The court were of opinion that the writ of habeas corpus was issued by the practice of common law, but that a period of three days ought to be allowed for the return of the writ.
TUESDAY January 27.
Mr. Jones gave in the deposition of Lieutenant Wilson and ensign Mad, stating that general Wilkinson, on their departure, was making all the preparations in his power for the defence of New Orleans. Chief justice Cranch then informed the counsel for the prisoners that it was the opinion of the court that a bench warrant should issue against Swartout and Bollman, but that he differed in sentiment from the court, as there was no testimony given on oath to induce him to believe that they had levied war against the United States.
Justice Dockett expressed his sentiments at some length on this important question, to show that there was probable cause to suppose they intended levying war against the U. S.
Justice Fitzhugh delivered a similar opinion, recapitulating nearly the same reasons as were urged by justice Dockett.
A bench warrant was accordingly directed against Samuel W. Swartout and Erick Bollman on the charge of treason which was issued immediately.
The prisoners soon after were brought into court, which was extremely crowded. The appearance of Mr. Swartout seemed to attract general attention, on account of his youth and genteel deportment. Their counsel Mr. F. S. Key moved that they be heard on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, to shew cause why they should not be committed for trial on the charge aforesaid which was granted.
Wednesday January 28.
After the prisoners were brought to the bar, the chief justice informed their counsel that owing to the indisposition of judge Fitzhugh, he thought proper to adjourn the consideration of their case till to-morrow.
In our next we will commence the publication of the depositions laid before the court in this interesting case.
A patent has been lately taken out in Paris by the Sieur Desplan, for an improvement in weaving, which renders it unnecessary for the workman to throw the shuttle with his hand. The weaver, when he sets his foot on the treadles to open the warp, at the same time moves two springs, placed on each side of the loom, by which the shuttle is thrown at the moment when the frame is removed back as
far as it ought to be. His hands therefore remain at liberty, and he can pull back the frame when he wishes to make the texture closer. Experiments have proved that a weaver may work longer, and with much less fatigue, at this than at a common loom; that he can, in twelve hours, weave twelve Paris ells of a yard wide cotton stuff, whereas by the ordinary flying shuttle, a good workman can scarcely, in the same time, make more than four or six ells. The same experiments likewise have shown that the improved loom may be employed with advantage in the manufacture of all kinds of stuffs, weelens, blankets, linens, &c. and that the additions and alterations required by ordinary looms will be attended with very little expence; that the construction of the mechanism by which the shuttle is thrown is simple, and requires no expence to keep it in repair, and may be adapted to all looms of the ordinary construction.
Looms of this construction are fitted up by Messrs. Barbazan and Co. at the Gobelins at Paris, at the expence of from two to two guineas and a half.
Longevity.—THOMAS BEATTY, of Drumcondra, near Dublin, has nearly completed his 102 year. He walks as upright as most men in the prime of life, and has not lost a tooth. His oldest surviving son is 75 years of age, and his youngest not quite two years old. His wife is pregnant at this time.—This surviving veteran was originally a weaver, but has generally worked as a gardener, in which capacity he daily attends the Dublin market. He told a gentleman, who conversed with him last week, that one of his trees, this season, had produced 1500 apples.

Richard Lee & Son,
SENSIBLE of the many favors conferred on them by an enlightened community, beg permission to return them their sincere acknowledgments, and solicit them for a continuance of the same.
As all the efforts of Hannah Lee and her colleagues to ruin our characters and injure the reputation of our medicines, have proved abortive, we should think it degrading to ourselves and insulting to the public to pursue the contest into which we have been reluctantly dragged. Here we will drop the subject, leave her to enjoy the consolation her vapid Billingsgate language in her last advertisement is capable of affording, and simply ask those who may have occasion to purchase medicines of the following description, to give ours a trial, under a full confidence that every new trial will corroborate the long established public opinion of their being genuine.
THE FOLLOWING MEDICINES SOLD BY NICHOLAS HINGSTON, At his China, Glass, Queen's-Ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Messrs. Richett's and Newton's.
Each article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of
Richard Lee and Son,
Without which none are genuine.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine, which is as innocent & mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many intestinal disorders.
From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following:
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual head-ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days.
JOHN BELLEY, Pitt-street.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having fevers, head-ache, and loss of appetite. Hearing of the many cures performed by your Worm Lozenges, I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of small worms was expelled; hundreds of them were alive for some time after.
JOHN KENNEDY. Potter-street.
Baltimore, Jan. 4th, 1807.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious & Malignant Fevers, is recommended Lee's Anti-bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
The high opinion I have of your Bilious Pills, and a desire to make known their utility for the benefit of mankind, I wish you to publish the following:
For two months past, I have been afflicted with a violent sickness at the stomach, an inclination to vomit, and loss of appetite—by taking two doses of your pills, I am restored to a perfect state of health—which induced my wife to try them also, which was attended with the same good effects, being now able to attend to her domestic concerns: in my opinion, this medicine is unequalled in stomach and bowel complaints, not being attended with that griping pain, common to other remedies.

LEE'S ELIXIR,

For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermitent Fevers.
Lee's genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains?
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever.
