RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloons, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string; likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria.

NOTICE.
THE commissioners appointed by the Virginia legislature to receive subscriptions in the town of Alexandria, for forming a turnpike road from Fauquier court house to intersect the Little River turnpike road, give notice, that they will attend at the City Hotel for that purpose, on SATURDAY, the second day of December, from ten o'clock till two, and from three till sunset. As few of the citizens of Alexandria are acquainted with the part of the country into which this road leads, and the benefits which the commerce of the town may derive from it, it may not be improper to state that it passes through the county of Prince William, a great part of the county of Fauquier, approaching near to Rappahannock, opening a communication with a part of Prince William, the greater part of Fauquier, with a prospect of no inconsiderable part of Culpepper. No road at this time leading to the town, brings greater advantages to it than the proposed one promises. Independent of those advantages mentioned as certainly resulting from it, there is the greatest probability that others will follow as soon as it can be ascertained that this will be executed. It is reasonable to expect that the inhabitants of Augusta and Rockingham on the other side of the Blue Ridge, and of Orange & Madison on this side, will exert themselves to open a road from Swiss Run Gap to Fauquier Court house. Should this be realised it will shorten the distance to Staunton at least 30 miles, and it is confidently believed should such a measure take place, it will be found that Alexandria is not above 20 miles farther from Staunton than Richmond or Fredericksburg. Through Staunton all the traders to the westward must pass in their way to the commercial towns, such a saving of distance would draw most of them this way, from which many important benefits may be derived. At this time a line of Stages is established from Abingdon to Staunton. Abingdon is upwards of 200 miles beyond Staunton. Should the roads alluded to take place, there can be no doubt of the Stages extending from Staunton to this place. The road at present contemplated reduces the distance from this town to Fauquier Court House to 41 miles, only 2 or 3 miles farther than from that place to Fredericksburg. The goodness of the contemplated road to this place, and the superior advantages of our market, reduces it to a certainty that the bulk of the trade from that part of the country will center here, if a proper road be opened to it. The prospects of great commercial benefits resulting to the town from the proposed measure, (equal if not superior to those expected from the Little River Turnpike) it is hoped will induce the citizens of Alexandria to contribute liberally towards it.

LORD CASTLEREAGH AND MR. CANNING.
LONDON, October 9.
The following are authentic copies of the two letters which passed between Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning, immediately previous to the late duel:
St. James Square, 19th Sept. 1809.
SIR,
It is unnecessary for me to enter into any detailed statement of the circumstances which preceded the recent resignation. It is enough for me, with a view to the immediate object of this letter, to state, that it appears a proposition had been agitated, without any communication with me, for my removal from the War department; and that you, towards the close of the last Session, having urged a decision upon this question, with the alternative of your seceding from the Government, procured a positive promise from the Duke of Portland (the execution of which you afterwards considered yourself entitled to enforce) that such a removal should be carried into effect. Notwithstanding this promise, by which I consider you pronounced it unfit that I remain charged with the conduct of the war, and by which my situation as a Minister of the Crown was made dependant upon your will and pleasure, you continued to sit in the same Cabinet with me, and to leave me not only in the possession that I possessed your confidence, but you allowed me, in breach of every principle of good faith, both public and private, though thus virtually superceded, to originate and proceed in the execution of a new enterprise, of the most arduous and important nature, with your apparent concurrence, and ostensible approbation.
You were fully aware, that if my situation in the government had been disclosed to me, I could not have submitted to remain one moment in office, without the entire abandonment of my private honor, and public duty. You knew I was deceived, and you continued to deceive me.
I am aware it may be said, which I am ready to acknowledge, that when you pressed a decision for my removal, you also pressed for its disclosure, and that it was resisted by the Duke of Portland, and some members of government supposed to be my friends. But I never can admit that you have a right to make use of such a plea in justification of an act affecting my honor, nor that the sentiments of others could justify an acquiescence in such a delusion on your part, who had yourself felt, and stated its unfairness. Nor can I admit that the head of any administration, or any supposed friends (whatever might be their motives) can authorise or sanction any man in such a course of long and persevering deception; for were I to admit such a principle, my honor and character would be from that moment in the discretion of persons wholly unauthorised, to act for me in such a case. It was therefore your act and your conduct that deceived me; and it is impossible for me to acquiesce in being placed in a situation by you, which no man of honor could knowingly submit to, nor patiently suffer himself to be betrayed into without forfeiting that character.
I have no right, as a public man, to resist your demanding, upon public grounds, my removal from the particular office I have held, or even from the administration, as a condition of your continuing a member of the government. But I have a distinct right to expect that a proposition, justifiable in itself, shall not be executed in an unjustifiable manner, and at the expence of my honor and reputation. And I consider that you were bound at least, to avail yourself of the same alternative, namely your own resignation, to exercise towards me, which you did exercise, in demanding a decision for my removal.
Under these circumstances, I must require that satisfaction from you to which I feel myself entitled to lay claim.
I am, &c.
CASTLEREAGH.
The Rt. Hon. George Canning, &c.
Gloucester Lodge, Sept. 20, 1809.
MY LORD,
The tone and the purport of your lordship's letter, which I have this moment received, of course preclude any other an-
swer, on my part, to the misapprehensions & misrepresentations with which it abounds than that I will cheerfully give to your lordship the satisfaction which you require.
I am, &c.
GEORGE CANNING.
Lord Viscount Castlereagh, &c.
Mr. Canning's Statement.
The publication of lord Castlereagh's statement of the transactions that preceded the late duel has produced the following statement from Mr. Canning:
It is perfectly true, that so long ago as Easter, Mr. Canning had represented to the duke of Portland the insufficiency (in his opinion) of the government, as then constituted, to carry on the affairs of the country, under all the difficulties of the times, and had requested that, unless some change should be effected in it, he might be permitted to resign his office. It is equally true that in the course of the discussion, which arose out of this representation, it was proposed to Mr. Canning, and accepted by him as the condition of his consenting to retain the seals of the foreign office, that a change should be made in the war department.
But it is not true that the time at which that change was ultimately proposed to be made, was of Mr. Canning's choice; and it is not true that he was party or consenting to the concealment of that intended change from lord Castlereagh.
With respect to the concealment, Mr. Canning, some short time previous to the date of lord Castlereagh's letter, without the smallest suspicion of the existence of any intention on the part of lord Castlereagh to make such an appeal to Mr. Canning as that letter contains, but upon information that some misapprehension existed as to Mr. Canning's supposed concurrence in the reserve which had been practised towards lord Castlereagh's most intimate friends, to be communicated whenever he might think proper, the copy of a letter addressed by Mr. Canning to the duke of Portland, in the month of July, in which Mr. Canning requests, "in justice to himself, that it may be remembered, whenever hereafter this concealment shall be alleged (as he doubts not that it will) against him, as an act of injustice towards lord Castlereagh, that it did not originate in his suggestion—that so far from desiring it, he conceived, however erroneously, lord Camden to be the sure channel of communication to lord Castlereagh; and that up to a very late period he believed such communication to have been actually made.
The copy of this letter and of the duke of Portland's answer to it, "acknowledging Mr. Canning's repeated remonstrances against the concealment," are still in the possession of lord Castlereagh's friend.
The communication to lord Camden, to which this letter refers, was made on the 23th of April, with Mr. Canning's acknowledgment, and at his particular desire. Lord Camden being the near relation, and most confidential friend of lord Castlereagh, it never occurred to Mr. Canning, nor was it credible to him, till he received the positive asseverations of the fact, that lord Camden has kept back such a communication from lord Castlereagh.
With respect to the period at which the change in the war department was to take place, Mr. Canning was induced, in the first instance, to consent to its postponement till the rising of parliament, partly by the representations made to himself of the inconveniences of any change in the middle of a session, but principally from a consideration of the particular circumstances under which lord Castlereagh stood in the house of commons after Easter; circumstances which would have given to his removal at that period of the session, a character which it was certainly no part of Mr. Canning's wish that it should bear.
Mr. Canning, however, received the most positive promise that a change in the war department should take place immediately upon the close of the session. When that time arrived, the earnest and repeated entreaties of most of lord Castlereagh's friends in the cabinet, were employed to prevail upon Mr. Canning the postponement of the arrangement.
At length, and most reluctantly, he did give his consent to its being postponed to the period proposed by lord Castlereagh's friends, viz. the termination of the expedition then in preparation; but he did so upon the most distinct and solemn assurances, that whatever might be the issue of the expedition, the change should take place at that period; that the seals of the war department should then be offered to lord Wellesley (the person for whose accession to the cabinet, Mr. Canning was known to be most anxious,) and that the interval should be diligently employed by lord Castlereagh's friends, in preparing lord Castle-
reagh's mind to acquiesce in such an arrangement.
It was therefore matter of very great surprize and astonishment to Mr. Canning, when, at the final issue of the expedition, he reminded the duke of Portland, that the time was now come for his grace's writing to lord Wellesley, to find, that so far from the interval having been employed by lord Castlereagh's friends, in preparing lord Castlereagh for the change, the same reserve had been continued towards him, against which Mr. Canning had before so earnestly remonstrated. Being informed of this circumstance by the duke of Portland, and learning at the same time from his grace, that there was other difficulties attending the arrangement, of which Mr. Canning had not before been apprised; and that the duke of Portland had himself come to a determination to retire from office, Mr. Canning instantly, and before any step whatever had been taken towards carrying the promised arrangement into effect, withdrew his claim and requested the duke of Portland to tender his (Mr. Canning's) resignation, at the same time with his grace's to the king. This was on Wednesday the 6th of Sept. previously to the levee of that day.
All question of that performance of the promise made to Mr. Canning being thus at an end, the reserve which lord Castlereagh's friends had hitherto so preservingly practised towards lord Castlereagh, appears to have been laid aside. Lord Castlereagh was now made acquainted with the nature of the arrangement which had been intended to have been proposed to him.
"What may have been the reasons which prevented lord Castlereagh's friends from fulfilling the assurances given to Mr. Canning, that lord Castlereagh's mind should be prepared by their communications for the arrangement intended to be carried into effect; and what the motives for the disclosure to lord Castlereagh after that arrangement had ceased to be in contemplation, it is not for Mr. Canning to explain."

GRENADA, September 4.
In Molina de Aragon the new corps, both of infantry and cavalry, go on organizing themselves, and with ease, because of the enthusiasm of the people of that quarter, to whom as well as to all in the district, the government has furnished every sort of supplies.
Thirty waggons of supplies were intercepted from the French, but they were set fire to on account of the enemy's coming up in greater numbers; but they suffered great loss. Would to God that the like might always be practised in like circumstances, and that we should always have as happy an issue! With barbarians, as the present French canaille (rabble) must be considered, it is necessary to carry on a barbarian warfare. To feel compassion in the cause of humanity, is to be deserving of it; but we ought to shut our ears to its cries, when we are fighting with him who despises it. And who has despised it more than Bonaparte and its satellites?
A private letter, dated at San Felices de los Gallegos, September 22.
"My dear friend—How much will you wish for this letter, in order to know the result of the attack which we were preparing for, as I mentioned to you in my last of the 18th. The result has been as I then promised myself. The army, after working all the night of the 18th in taking positions to open the attack in the morning of the 19th as we expected, were informed that the miserable wretches headed by Ney had the same night set off towards Salamanca, having fires lighted by way of deceiving us; so that when we returned they were already six leagues in advance; upon which the general in chief ordered the divisions to re-occupy their former positions, the head quarters being again at this place. I have not words to express the sensations felt by our troops on hearing of the flight of the enemy. Those who did not flash with indignation, wept with rage; and the commanders had to console the troops by telling them, that very soon they would give them an opportunity of avenging themselves.
"We have here a man who is known only by his bravery, and who five months ago was called Julian, and now is Don Julian. I will give you a brief narrative of the exploits of this hero, for so we ought to call him. This Don Julian 5 months ago was a herdsman, and is a native of this part of
the country. He agreed put himself under the orders of the commander in chief with six lads of his chosen horsemen, and without any other arm than the lance which they use, for the purpose of pursuing the detached parties of the army who were laying waste the settlement of Castille. Such has been the success of this man that with the six men which he commands, he has been able to make prisoners of 10 prisoners, all horsemen, with which he has carried, by small parties, to Ciudad Rodrigo. In consequence of this, his excellency gave him the rank of ensign, and ordered him to increase his party to the number of 50 men, which he now has. With these men he now goes on a new plan, not to give quarter to any that he takes, except 2 or 3 to prove the death of their companions. There have been times when he has destroyed 16, 20, 50, and even 80; so that it two days elapse without Don Julian's showing himself with prisoners, people believe some misfortune has happened him. The last encounters he has had are these—on the evening when we expected to attack Ney he advanced to the van-guard with his 50 lancemen and attacked 70 French dragoons who were in advance of their army, foraging in a settlement about 3 leagues from this place—of the 70 he killed 60, brought in 4 prisoners, and 6 escaped from him—He is now following the rear guard of the army—The day before yesterday he killed 26, and brought in prisoners two physicians and a provision merchant whom he has seen hither—Among the killed was a commissary, whose clothes I have seen on one of his lance-men—Last night he surprised 21 men in a place, and not one escaped him, and this moment we hear of his having caught 52. These deeds of prowess are worthy of being published in the journals, that the fame of this man may be proclaimed every where. His excellency has been promoting him until he has put him in the rank of captain, and now it is said that he is going to give him that of lieutenant-colonel. You will observe that not a man of his 50 has been lost, and the only misfortune he has experienced is one of his men's receiving a pistol shot wound, which is cured. But enough of Don Julian; it would be endless to recount all his exploits. This is certain, that if he meets with no misfortune he alone is enough to dispatch all the Frenchmen there are in Spain, for they are more afraid of him than an army of twenty thousand men.
General Eguia is to come this day to Ciudad-Real, with 24,000 men who are to join General Venegas. There are coming to our army 3,000 of the best cavalry, and this general is informed that they have already arrived at Truxillo—we expect also Wellesley with 20,000 English, with which in the course of 15 days this army will be very respectable; and when we are joined by the troops of Bierzo and the division of Ballesteros which is under orders to come by Benavente, we shall be much stronger, to judge of which, we now have, without the expected auxiliaries, 32,000 men.
Ciudad-Rodrigo, October 1.
Our army, which was on the heights of St. Felices, Villa Vieja and R. tortillo,* has gone to occupy those of Iuero, Guinaldo and Gallegos; it being supposed here that at this moment they are in Espeja and Gallegos.† The object of this has not transpired; but without doubt it is important as our general has made this arrangement. Perhaps when we least expect it, we shall see a fortunate issue.
* These places are a little northward of Ciudad Rodrigo, near the Portuguese frontier.
† These places are a little southward and westward of Ciudad Rodrigo.
CARBAJOLES, October 1.
We have made a sally with the greatest success and glory, in an action of ten hours action with the French upon Zamora, leaving the enemy well beaten—our loss is trifling—we have fought bravely. We have not time to state particulars till to-morrow, when we shall detail the events of this glorious action. All our troops have behaved well the artillery in particular.

A few days since, we stated, on mere report, that the U. S. ship John Adams was to sail soon for England, with despatches. This report was formally contradicted in all the papers. We now assert that the John Adams is under sailing orders, for foreign service.
A letter from Liverpool, dated Oct. 20, by the Hercules, says, "We have just received intelligence that the Spanish government have ordered the British troops and vessels to depart from their territory and harbors immediately. No reason is assigned for this measure."
"Change of position."—The federalists in New-York have succeeded in carrying their city election by a large majority. The city is divided into ten wards. Nine wards had been counted off, and the federalists had large majorities in eight of them. One ward remained to be counted, when the New-York Gazette was put to press, and it was even conjectured that it also might be federal. Last year the democrats had a majority of the wards. The change is truly great and astonishing. (Freeman's Journal.)

After the message and the accompanying documents were read,—on motion of Mr. Newton they were referred to a committee of the whole house on the state of the nation, and 5,000 copies were ordered to be printed for the use of the members—the House then adjourned.
THURSDAY, November 30.
A message was received from the Senate, stating that they had passed a resolution for the appointment of two chaplains, of different denominations, for the present session, in which they request the concurrence of the House. The resolution was concurred in by the house, and 12 o'clock to-morrow appointed for that purpose.
The Speaker read to the House a communication from capt. I. A. Coles, in which he disclaims any intentional disrespect to the House, or disregard of the privileges of members, in his late assault upon Mr. Nelson, that affair having originated in circumstances entirely unconnected with Mr. Nelson's public capacity. Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Fisk submitted a resolution authorizing the Members of the house to frank the Message of the President, and the accompanying Documents, notwithstanding the weight might exceed two ounces. Referred to the committee on Post-offices and Post-Roads. Adjourned.
Last evening arrived ship Reaper, captain Griffin, from Tonnigen, which he left the 9th of October. He did not hear of the peace between Austria and France being signed, nor of the armistice being broke. It was reported and believed, that Bonaparte was ill, it was said with convulsions. The Dances appear favorable to the Americans, but they are in dread of Bonaparte, and that fear obliges them to obey his dictates, which were very violent against the Americans, under pretence of his believing they are from England; notwithstanding which, it was conjectured that most, if not all, the American vessels, that had been captured or seized, would be liberated. It was said at Tonnigen, that Jerome Bonaparte with a body of troops, was at Hamburg the beginning of October. [Phil. paper, Nov. 28.]

Piping all Hands! The extortion of the innkeepers at Portsmouth, on persons arriving at that port, has long been proverbial—in a recent instance, however, an attempt of this nature was completely foiled. A few weeks ago, a gentleman, with his family landed there, from the West-Indies, and intending to remain a short time until he could hear from his friends in London, applied to the landlord of the inn, to which he
had been conducted, for accommodations; but was told that three bed rooms could no be provided for his family unless he would engage them for a week certain, and that the lowest charge would be a guinea a day for the use of them. To this exorbitant demand the gentleman after some expostulation acceded. Soon afterwards, on going to the post office, he found letters lying there for him, from his friends in London, requiring his immediate departure from that place, as soon as he should arrive. On his return to the inn, he informed the landlord of the circumstance, and hoped payment would not be insisted on for the rooms, which he had scarcely occupied, but to this Boniface would by no means consent, and high words arose between the parties.—Captain L. of the royal navy, who was well known to the landlord, happening to be in the house at the time, enquired into the circumstance, and discovering the imposition intended to be practised, offered to take the bargain off the gentleman's hands, which was cheerfully assented to by both parties, and the latter immediately departed with his family, after thanking the captain for his interposition. Immediate directions were given for the beds to be prepared, as captain L. said it was his intention to sleep on shore that night. "What, all three?" inquired the waiter, "To be sure! am I not to pay for them?" was the reply. In the evening the captain returned, bringing with him his boatswain and cabin boy, to whom he gave directions to occupy two of the beds, "and recollect, my lads," said he, "watch and watch, every three hours pipe all hands for a general muster." Those orders were strictly complied with, to the great annoyance of every guest in the house: in the morning the landlord complained heavily of the disturbance, and hoped the captain would discontinue it; but the latter said it was his way of sea, and did he not pay for the rooms? Piping all hands was repeated on the second night, which produced fresh remonstrances from the landlord, who declared "that if such practises were continued it would be the ruin of his house, and he should be satisfied if the captain would pay for the night's occupation of the rooms, and discontinue his nocturnal alarms." Captain L. declared, that sleeping on shore he found congenial to his health, and combining sea customs with land conveniences, afforded him an ample fund of amusement." The third night produced a repetition of the alarm; but in the morning, Boniface waited upon the disturber of his house, and with many bows and cringes, informed him "that he was extremely willing to forego any charge for the three night's lodging, if the captain would consent to sleep on board his ship, where he might pipe all hands as frequently as he pleased;" to which offer capt. L. with apparent reluctance, acceded.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.
THE annual general meeting of the MUTUAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY against fire on buildings of the state of Virginia, will be held, by adjournment, at the Capitol in the city of Richmond, on the second Monday in Dec. next, (being the 11th day of Dec.)
SAMUEL GREENHOW,
Agent, M. A. S.
Richmond, Nov. 10th, 1809.
P. S. As much inconvenience and unnecessary expense results from the present mode of collecting the contributions of the members; which annually diverts a considerable part of those contributions from the uses for which they were intended—burdens individuals with heavy costs, and greatly delays the collections, to the injury of the credit of the society, the general meeting at their last annual session, applied to the legislature, to authorise a more certain, expeditious, and less expensive mode of collection. Their application was rejected, under an impression, that the members of the society might not approve this act of their proxies.
Having been informed that, a similar proposition will be submitted to the consideration of the next general meeting, and believing some amendment in that respect necessary to the prosperity of the institution, I have thought it proper to give this public notice thereof.

ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE Domestic Manufacture Company, of Alexandria.
WHEREAS many citizens of the town and neighborhood of Alexandria, are well disposed to aid and encourage the infant manufactures of our country, as well from the perilous situation she is placed in as respects Foreign nations, as from a desire to render her more independent of their supplies, and especially of those articles of clothing, which habit has rendered, not merely comfortable, but of first necessity. But to do this, individual good will and efforts fall far short of the desired object, and recourse must be had in this, as in several great designs, to form an effective aggregate of talents and pecuniary resources. For this purpose—We, the subscribers to the following Articles of Association, declare our object to be—to raise a fund, to make advances on deposits for sale, and for the purchase and sale of articles of domestic growth & manufacture, and such foreign materials as come within the description of Dye Stuffs exclusively.—And hereby form ourselves into a company or limited partnership, and do mutually agree with each other, and hereby bind ourselves to conduct the business of the Company under the name and style of the "Domestic Manufacture Company of Alexandria," and conformably to the rules and regulations herein after specified.
Article 1. The capital stock of the Company shall consist of Twenty thousand dollars, to be divided into two thousand shares of ten dollars each, and to be paid in the manner following, that is to say, two dollars on each share to be paid at the time of subscribing, and one dollar on the first Tuesday of every month thereafter, for and during the space of eight months from the opening of the subscription; and a failure to make punctually any payment after the first, shall incur a forfeiture of all that shall have been previously paid on such share. But the capital stock of the company may be increased to any sum not exceeding Forty Thousand dollars, if the proprietors of two thirds of the capital stock of the Company, by their concurring votes at any annual meeting, give their assent thereto, and such increase of stock shall be made up by additional shares of ten dollars each, and payable in such installments and at such times as the Board of Directors shall appoint.
Article 2. As soon as the whole or one thousand shares of the said capital stock shall have been subscribed for, and the first payment made thereon, a meeting of the Stockholders shall be called by public notice in the Alexandria and Washington newspapers, to meet in the court-house of Alexandria either in person or by proxy duly authorised, at which meeting the stockholders, either personally or by proxy shall elect by ballot seven of their own body to act as directors of the said Company for one year, and at every succeeding election two of the Directors who have served the preceding year shall be ineligible; and should the whole seven have not served the preceding year have the greatest number of votes, then the two lowest of the said seven shall be declared as not elected, and the two next highest on the list voted for, shall take their places, and if in any case the votes are equal, those to be appointed or rejected to be determined by lot; and such succeeding elections shall take place annually on the second Tuesday in February; but for the present year for the more immediate organization of the business of the Company, the election may be held on an earlier day under the direction of the commissioners appointed to receive subscriptions, and the number of votes to
which each stockholder shall be entitled, shall be in proportion to the stock he may hold as follows: For one share and no exceeding six shares, one vote each; for every two shares over six and not exceeding ten one vote each; for every three shares over ten and not exceeding sixteen, one vote each; for every four shares over sixteen and not exceeding forty, one vote each; and for every ten shares over forty, one vote each; and no stockholder shall be permitted to vote (except at the first election) who has not held his stock for twenty days prior to the election, and in all elections after the first, the proxy shall be made in such form as the Board of Directors shall appoint.
Article 3. The affairs of the said company shall be carried on in the town of Alexandria, under the superintendence and control of the said Directors, of whom any four shall form a board or quorum, they shall choose a chairman from among themselves, and in case of vacancy by death, resignation or otherwise, such vacancy shall be immediately filled by themselves from among the stockholders. And the said Directors shall in no case whatever, contract debts or engagements, by bill, bond or otherwise, for, or on account of the Company, but that all dealings under their superintendence and control aforesaid, shall be for cash or barter, except goods on deposit, which may be sold by the direction of the consignor. The said Directors shall also exhibit at the annual meeting of stockholders, for their inspection, a statement of the affairs of the Company for the year preceding.
Article 4th. The Directors when elected shall proceed without delay to appoint an Agent and such other officers as may be requisite, all of whom shall hold their offices during the pleasure of the Board, and who shall, before they enter upon their functions, give bond with sufficient security to the said Directors and their successors in office for the faithful discharge of their duties, as prescribed by the Board of Directors.
Article 5th. It shall be the duty of the Agent, when so appointed, to have the charge of the cash, goods, deposits, books and papers of the Company, to make purchases, receive deposits, make advances of money, or exchange goods for deposits, make sales thereof and to effect insurance on goods transported by sea, where the Company have an interest in the property under the rules prescribed by the Board of Directors. He shall be allowed a yearly salary, and a certain rate per centum, in addition thereto, of the nett profits accruing to the said Company, before the dividends are declared, the amount of both of which to be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Article 6th. All receipts for goods deposited for sale shall be signed by the Agent, and the funds of the Company shall in no case be held responsible for any deposits of goods whatever unless so signed.
Article 7th. The shares of capital stock at any time owned by any individual stockholder shall be transferable on the books of the Company, according to such rules as may agreeably to law be established in that behalf by the Board of Directors; and it is further expressly agreed & declared, that any stockholder who shall transfer in manner aforesaid all his stock or shares to any other person or persons whatever, shall thereupon cease to be a member of this Company, and that any person or persons whatever who shall accept a transfer of any stock or share in this Company shall thereupon become and be a member of this Company, according to these articles of association.
Article 8th. It is hereby expressly and explicitly declared by the persons who associate under the name or firm of the "Domestic Manufacture Company of Alexandria," that the joint stock or property of the said Company (exclusive of dividends to be made in the manner hereinafter mentioned) shall alone be responsible for the debts and engagements of the said Company, and that no person who shall or may deal with this Company, or to whom they shall or may become in any wise indebted, shall, on any pretence whatever, have recourse against the separate property of any present or future member of this Company, or against their persons, excepting the officers and servants of said Company, in regard to the faithful discharge of their respective duties in the conduct of the affairs and administration of the funds of the said Company. And all suits to be brought against this Company (if any shall be) shall be brought against the Agent for the time being, and in case of his death or removal from office, pending any such suit against him, measures shall be taken, at the expence of the Company, for substituting his successor in office as a defendant, so that persons having demands upon the Company may not be prejudiced or delayed by that event, or if the person suing shall go on against the person first named as defendant (notwithstanding his death or removal from office) this Company shall take no advantage, by writ of error or otherwise, of such proceedings, on that account; and all recovery had, in manner aforesaid, shall be conclusive upon the company, so far as to
Under the company's said joint stock or property liable thereby, and no further; and the Company shall immediately pay the amount of such recovery out of their joint stock, but not otherwise: And in case of any suit at law, the agent shall sign his appearance upon the writ, or file common bail thereto; it being expressly understood and declared, that all persons dealing with said company, agree to these terms and are bound thereby.
Article 9th. Dividends of the profits of the Company, or so much thereof as shall be deemed sufficient and proper, shall be declared by the Board of Directors in the third week in January in each year, and shall in no case exceed the amount of the nett profits actually acquired by the Company.
Article 10th. If the said Directors shall at any time wilfully and knowingly make or declare any dividend which shall impair the said capital stock, all the Directors present at the making or declaring of said dividend, and consenting thereto, shall be liable in their individual capacities to the Company, for the amount or proportion of said capital stock so divided by the said Directors; and each Director who shall be present at the making or declaring such dividend, shall be deemed to have consented thereto, unless he shall enter in writing his dissent on the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, and give public notice to the stockholders that such dividend has been declared.
Article 11. The Company shall not purchase or hold any lands, tenements or other real estates.
Article 12. Any number of stockholders, not less than forty, who, together, shall be proprietors of four hundred shares, may, for any purpose relative to the institution, at any time apply to the Board of Directors to call a general meeting of the stockholders; and, if by them refused, the said number of stockholders, proprietors of not less than the number of shares aforesaid, or a majority of the directors, shall have power to call a general meeting of the stockholders, giving at least sixty days notice in the Alexandria and Washington newspapers, specifying in such notice the object or objects of such call.
Article 13. This Association shall be and continue for the term of ten years, from and after the first election of directors, but may be dissolved at any period prior thereto, or continued for any length of time thereafter not exceeding twenty years: provided, the proprietors of two-thirds of the capital stock of the said Company, by their concurring votes, give their assent thereto; but no dissolution or extension shall take place unless notice of a meeting to consider such proposition, be published in the Alexandria and Washington newspapers for six weeks previous thereto.
Article 14. Immediately on the dissolution of this Association, prompt and effectual measures shall be taken by the directors then existing, for converting into cash the stock on hand, closing all the concerns of the Company, and for dividing the capital and profits which may remain, among the stockholders, in proportion to their respective interests.
Article 15.

In case the whole number of shares shall not be subscribed for on that day, the Commissioners, or Board of Directors shall have authority to open the books afterwards at their pleasure; but if it should happen that more than the stipulated number of shares should be subscribed for, then the commissioners hereby appointed, are to apportion them among the subscribers, by deducting from the highest subscriptions until they are reduced to the proper number. The commissioners will issue receipts to the different stockholders, which receipts with the original subscription shall be deemed good evidence of the quantity of stock to which each subscriber shall be entitled in this company.
