Five Dollars' Reward.
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 pantaloon, 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.

POETICAL DEPARTMENT.
The following Poem is a proof that Mr. MOORE has a vein for serious Poetry, and that in the pensive hour, he can exclaim, "Hence, vain deluding joys."
TO THE FLYING FISH.*
When I have seen thy snowy wing O'er the blue waves at evening spring, And gice those scales of silver white, So gaily to the eye of light—
As if thy frame were form'd to rise, And live amid the glorious skies; Oh, it has made me proudly feel, How like thy wings impatient zeal,
Is the pure soul that scorns to rest Upon the world's ignoble breast, But take the plume that God hath given, And rises into light and heaven!
But when I see that wing so bright, Grow languid with a moment's flight, Attempt the path of air in vain, And sink into the waves again:
Alas! the flattering pride is o'er; Like thee, awhile, the soul may soar, But crying man must blush to think, Like thee, again, the soul may sink.
Oh, Virtue, when thy clime I seek, Let not my spirit's flight be weak: Let me not, like this feeble thing, With brine still dropping from its wing.
Just sparkle in the solar glow, And plunge again to depths below; But when I leave the grosser throng, With whom my soul hath dwelt so long,
Let me, in that aspiring day, Cast every lingering stain away, And panting for thy purer air, Fly up at once, and fix me there.
* It is the opinion of St. Austin upon Genesis, and I believe of nearly all the Fathers, that birds, like fish, were originally produced from the waters. With this tho't in our minds, when we first see the flying fish, we could almost fancy that we are present at the moment of creation, and witness the birth of the first bird from the waves.
THE LADY'S TOILET.
"May their tender limbs Float in the loose simplicity of dress."
Why are women, in their dress, so fond of art, when nature has done so much for them? Is it not a kind of insult to the partial and benevolent hand that has been, for them so lavishly profuse of every genuine charm and native grace? Woman is the complement of the human creation; the last and finishing stroke given to that sublime picture. When woman was created, nature shone with a greater lustre, and man with a brighter glory; and the divine power itself, as it were, conscious of not being able to shape matter in a nobler or more elegant form, rested then from his works. Blessed them, and declared them good. Why then should women be so little sensible of their dignity in the scale of created beings? or why should they so little appreciate men's feelings, as to think, that in swaying his affections, they should be more indebted to the paltry efforts of a useless art than to the irresistible and divine influence of unadorned and unaffected beauty, united to moral perfection?
Woman, it is true, is not created to govern and rule the world; her lot is, perhaps, still more glorious; she is created to make it happy. Woman sits not on the legislator's benches; she weighs not in her feeble hand the destinies of nations; but it is on her soft and generous bosom, on that sweet throne of an ever adorable and bounteous nature, that the little infant, in the raptured embraces of maternal love and filial gratitude, opens his heart to the first emotions of human virtue and receives the first rudiments of his social education. Formed for the kind offices of gentle charity and love, woman leads not armies to destruction and carnage; but it is by the mild beams of her lovely eyes that the breast of man is fired with a patriotic ardor; it is the winning softness of her all endearing voice that, even in the noise of
battles, yet thrilling on the heart of the gallant hero, prompts his immortal valor, and crowns his victorious hand with deeds of immortal glory.
Woman embellishes every thing, endears every thing; without her, man, deprived of comfort in his existence, and solace in his sufferings, would be most wretchedly wandering, in a solitary gloom, thro' a cheerless world. Woman is in the order of society, what the sun is in that of nature: then, disdaining every art, let woman, like the sun, shine with her own glory: and is it in the power of human art to add to the whiteness of that fair lily, to the hue of that lovely rose? No; oh sweet modesty, adorable innocence! mystic and sacred veil, under whose heavenly shade nature first concealed from mortal eye the unspotted charms of female beauty; it belongs to you, and to you only, still to embellish, to ennoble, those elegant and beauteous forms, which seem to have been erected as a terrestrial temple of the sweet affections that spring from you; and never does a woman present herself, to our view with so irresistible a power and so fascinating a grace, as when her features reflect the purity of your image, and her dress "the loose simplicity" of your lovely spirit. Let then a lady's toilet be a kind of sanctuary sacred to innocence and modesty; let art approach it, not as a vile usurper, but like an humble votary, to pay the respectful tribute of his homage to that noble and divine original, of which his most labored efforts can hardly present an imperfect copy.
A man of feeling and sense, will seldom be captivated by the beauty of female features, but inasmuch as they express some moral quality. The feeling principle which exists within us, independent of matter, will seek for something congenial to itself; and it seems as if human features, and their ever varying shades, are but a medium by which sympathetic nature wafts soul to soul. They point out to a woman how much, in pleasing and captivating, external features are subservient to inward passions; how much the influence of the former depends on the proper regulation of the latter.
"Those at first, th' unwary heart may gain, But these, these only, can the heart retain."
Women's faces, like polished glass, will be sullied even by the breath of zephyr.—Strong unnatural passions soon darken the sweet brightness of their countenances, disorder the harmony of their fine proportions, roughen the smooth and delicate texture of
attractive powers of genuine beauty; whereas the friendly virtues of innocence, peace, goodness, when they dwell in their hearts, will breathe their own purity even, on the outward form of the body, in which they are enclosed, expand the indifferent feature into a ray of beauty, and form those ever lovely combinations, from which spring charms ever new, graces ever sweet.
The laurels which beauty owes to the guiles of gaudy art, will soon pass and decay; those it owes to the influence of sweet virtue will last as long as virtue itself. By the former, women may, perhaps, enjoy the momentary advantage of an usurped victory; but by the latter, they will be crowned by our affections, with the never fading honors of a well deserved triumph.
Oh, woman! be always good, and you will always be lovely: be more desirous of being approved by our hearts than courted by our eyes. Cultivate the advantage of a well informed mind, of an innocent and generous heart; they, more than the vain toils of art, will brighten every grace and sweeten every smile. It is these which will encircle your eyes with the radiant lustre of soothing meekness, and attune your voice to the angelic sound of sweetness. By these you become mighty, though weak; irresistible, though defenceless. By these, even amidst the gloomy winter of your age, you still keep and present our fancy with some of the lovely flowers, which have adorned the spring of your youth.
From an English Paper.
The French Proclamations, &c. relative to the Expedition.
[FROM THE ALBION.]
Every thing that Bonaparte's government has published upon the expedition, the measures he has adopted, the details he has circulated relative to the extent of the means of resistance, or the enthusiasm with which the French have marched to the defence of their menaced coasts, prove on one side, that he wishes to disguise from the French nation the effects of his improvidence, and on the other to persuade the English, that the whole population of France is eager to arm against them, if her territory be menaced. But if this disposition really existed, if there be in that nation a spontaneous movement to oppose every attempt, and defend the authority of the man
who is the author of her miseries and her slavery, why all those proclamations of mayors, prefects, ministers and generals? Why all these appeals which appear destined rather to give rise to the sentiment that produces resistance, than to direct the impulse of enthusiasm, and which exaggerate the danger in order to operate by fear what could not be obtained by affection! Never were there so many reports, addresses and proclamations, and we may well say that the pen of Bonaparte's writers has been more employed than the sword of his generals. Yet some of his agents have felt that by giving to their proclamations so lively a coloring, so animated a tone, they would give the lie to the ardor which is said to be excited in France by the appearance of an English army, and that it would be concluded from the warmth of their appeals, that there really is much apathy among the people—Hence, more adroit and impudent than the other, they announce that the decrees, by which they order in the instant, the formation of the national guards, who are to march in 24 hours, were rendered necessary to avoid the disorder and confusion which might arise from the eagerness with which the inhabitants have proffered their service, and flown to the defence of the country. On this account they announce that Napoleon wished to regulate the zeal and ardor of the French by determining the number of the national guards who might give themselves up to their noble enthusiasm. That is to say the tyrant profited by this circumstance to enroi by violence the parents of those conscripts whom he had sent chained to the banks of the Danube or the Tagus—and whilst the latter leave their native land without arms to defend or cultivate it, and dye with their blood or bleach with bones a foreign soil, he forces the parents to take up arms also, and abandon their homes to replace the regular army, which is making distant conquests, whilst France is open to the attempts of the smallest army that might be landed on their coasts.
Bonaparte well knows that this is the first idea that must strike the French, when they were informed of the landing of the English army; and to prevent the reflections or discontents that might result from it, he takes care to tell the Senate through Clarke and Cambeceres, that "before he quitted France, his paternal solicitude for his subjects foresaw every thing, and disposed of his reserve in such a manner that the French
were the effects of this solicitude, that Antwerp and the whole surrounding country, all the neighboring coasts were defended, as he has since avowed, only by a few garrisons and national guards inexperienced in war. It suited him at the beginning of the invasion of Zealand to prove that his foresight had rendered the attempt of the English useless and impotent, but now that the expedition has not had the result he feared, he wishes to shew that the English dared not attack national guards without experience.
Pouche was wanting in prudence and discretion when he said to the city of Paris—"Our enemies have too often accused us of having no energy, except in tumult." It is easy to perceive that this expression was dictated by the dissatisfaction which the apathy of the Parisians had on this occasion excited in the mind of the minister of police, and that he attributed to the enemies of France a censure which sprang from his own heart, but the whole odium of which he was afraid to incur. If the Parisians were zealous, why endeavor to wound their self love by reminding them of the insulting language of their enemies?
LONDON, October 2. SWEDEN.
The following official document has been received by a running ship from Sweden: (CIRCULAR.)
HELSINBURGH, September 12.
The minister for foreign affairs has the honor, in obedience to his majesty's most gracious command to communicate the following intelligence:
The imperial French brigadier general Landras, governor of Stralsund, has declared to the ambassadors of his royal majesty destined for the French court, on their arrival at Stralsund, that through the French general Libbert in Stettin, he has received orders from the prince of Neufchatel, in which he informs him, that the commercial intercourse between Pomerania and Sweden is to be at an end, and that the communication between the two countries is to be regulated in the following manner:
"That the passage of the packets between Stralsund Ystad, for couriers and letters shall alone remain open; and that the French consuls in the ports of the Baltic, have, according to the statement of general Landras received similar orders.
"His royal majesty's charge d'affairs of Hamburg has reported, under the date of the 26th last month, that in consequence of the intercession the Senator Bourienne, imperial French minister in the Circle of Lower Saxony, had taken upon himself to make with regard to the point, "how far the Swedish convoy which arrived off Wismar, under the orders of major Wahlstedt, would be allowed to take cargoes on board at that place, and to clear out for Swedish ports," M. Bourienne had not received any answer from his imperial majesty, but expected it on the 27th or 28th of last month, if his majesty's orders could be immediately despatched."

Extract of a letter from Malta, Sept. 14. "From the Adriatic we have no late intelligence. The port of Trieste, by the last advices, was still in the hands of the French; but Fiume remained open. Few, however, adventured to it, from the precariousness of its situation, as well as the little encouragement the market held out. Some American vessels have gone there of late, and many others of the flag remain in the ports around us, still uncertain how to proceed for the disposal of their cargoes. The Levant markets, like our's, are quite overloaded, and offer no temptation to try them. Sales here are merely nominal—There is neither warehouse room to store goods, nor money to buy, and a speedy amelioration we confess we see no hopes of, unless some important political change should take place, and open to us other sources of consumption; for we are totally cut off from every port of Italy, from Genoa to Trieste. Our exchange keeps up, and will not, we apprehend, fall materially for some time to come, the government departments being apparently in want of cash."
Prices at Malta, Sept. 14. —Mocha coffee 32 cents, Martinique 25 a 26, Bourbon inferior 16 a 17, white Havanna sugars 11 a 11 50, brown do. 6 a 6 50, muscovado 5 a 5 25, pepper 18 a 18 1 2, Carracas cocoa 25 a 25 1 2, tobacco 9 a 10, opium 4 50 a 5, rum 4th proof Jamaica 80 a 90 cents, beef 16 dls. pork 18, hyson tea 1 a 1 10, sou-chong 60 a 70 cts. nankins 80 a 82—merely nominal."
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, Sept. 29, received by a merchant in this town.

The fate of this country will depend on that. I think Cadiz, however, will never be given up. The English are increasing their army."

The National Intelligencer of Wednesday introduces Mr. Jackson's letter with the following:
"The following letter, said to be addressed to the British consuls, is taken from the Independent American.

More French Accommodation.—We yesterday received the following particulars from Captain William Hathaway, master of the ship Belvidere, which has arrived at New-Bedford, from London—"On the 25th October, 1809, in lat. about 13, long. 49, W. at 10, P. M. after a chase of 16 hours, the ship Belvidere, of Boston, from London to New-Bedford, was taken possession of by a French schooner privateer, called the Lis, of Rochelle, Louis Flaggelle, owner and supercargo. Besides a number of others, they fired two shots at the ship that went between the masts, a little above the hull, after we had hove too and they within hail.—They detained us until the 26th, when at 4, P. M. they dismissed us; in the mean time they robbed us of two barrels pork, half the beef we had on board, one barrel of bread, half our potatoes, all our cheese, four casks of water, most of our porter, all our live stock, a quantity of new sail cloth, old canvas, sail twine, needles, one barrel of tar, the ship's canboose, (leaving a poor one in exchange) the stern boat, oars and tackle; the hanging compass and cabin compass, a kedge anchor, topgallant-mast, carpenters' tools, and several small articles, such as hooks, thimbles, marline-spikes, spun yarn, mats, points, ribins, &c. They took all the letters on board the privateer, opened them, and delivered them up again."

GENERAL ARMSTRONG.
On the subject of this gentleman's neglect of American prisoners in France, and the attacks which have been made by Duane and others, on those who have published their complaints, we have received the following communication.
Boston, 13th Nov. 1809.
Having seen, in the Chronicle of this day, an elaborate attempt to vindicate the character of gen. Armstrong, as it respects his treatment of his unfortunate countrymen (prisoners in France), this is to request the public to suspend judgment, until I have time to finish a statement of facts, already in a great state of forwardness, which shall appear in a few days, in the form of a pamphlet; when they will be able to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's due. The public will likewise observe that I had given my word of honor, while a fellow-sufferer with these unfortunates, that I would give a just and fair statement of whatever had fallen under my observation concerning them, as soon as possible after my arrival in the U. States.

To the Editor of the Boston Repertory.
The Legislature of Tennessee have passed an Act to disqualify any person, who may hereafter, give, receive, or bear a challenge, from holding any office or appointment under the government, giving evidence in any court of record, or serving as a juryman. In one respect, this statute goes a step further than most of the state laws on this subject; for it provides, that in case a challenger shall publish or denounce the other party, who "is unwilling or refuses to fight," as a coward, a poltroon; or by any similar epithet, such words are to be held as slanderous; and an action may be maintained against the speaker or publisher thereof.
Profane swearing punished.—We copy the following article (say the Freeman's Journal) from the Argus of Western America, a democratic paper printed at Frankfort, (Ken.) on the 21st October. The same paper adds, that both the persons presented are democratic lawyers.
"We of the grand jury empanelled, &c. for the circuit Shelby, in the name and by the authority of the commonwealth of Kentucky, upon our oaths do present Isnam Talbot, esq. for profane cursing on the 19th day of Sept. 1809, in the town of Shelbyville, before the door of Isaac Watkin's tavern, using the words, "God damn Mr.
Jackson; the President ought to dismiss him and have him kicked from town to town until he is kicked out of the country, God damn him." Contrary to, &c.

Upon this solemn occasion we are informed, that a well disciplined company of light infantry, under the command of capt. Abram Phillips, of the Great Valley, Chester county, anxious, as citizens soldiers, to pay a tribute of respect to the remains of their gallant fellow citizen, on the 23d ult. rendezvoused at the General Wayne inn, kept by Mr. Campbell Harris, situated on the Philadelphia and Lancaster turnpike road, six miles distant from the late residence and birth place of the general. When the carriage, conveying the remains of the general, made its appearance, the drums beat to arms—the company was instantly formed, and field officers col. Wm. Harris, and major Pearce, mounted, advanced in front of the carriage; Isaac Wayne, Esq. the son, and Wm. Wm. R. Alee, Esq. the son in law of the general, followed immediately in its rear. The moment the carriage had passed the infantry, they formed in military procession, accompanied by a large concourse of citizens, and officers in uniform.
When the procession had reached the Warren tavern, a halt was made for 25 minutes; in the mean time the military partook of an elegant collation prepared by Mr. Charles Fehnestock upon the occasion. The procession was again formed in similar order, and advanced again as far as the Bear tavern on the turnpike, which is within one mile of the mansion house of the late gen. Wayne. Here night coming on, the carriage halted, whilst the procession advanced in two divisions on the right and left of the turnpike, then halting and facing inwards, the carriage passed in review, the music playing the dead march, whilst the carriage proceeded to the mansion house.
At 11 o'clock the ensuing day, we are informed the remains of the general were interred within the cemetery of St. David's church, accompanied by a large concourse of his surviving friends, and old acquaintances. Upon the occasion, the rev. David Jones, who had acted as chaplain to general Wayne during the greater part of the revolutionary and Indian wars, delivered an appropriate discourse.
The Sun, a London paper of the 9th of October, (the latest paper on the continent from London) contains the following article.
Bonaparte, according to report, is seriously indisposed, and has been obliged to send for a physician. What must be the state of a man who cannot but fear that the physician whom he consults may be desirous of ridding the world of him, and may therefore leave the disorder to its natural course, if it is likely to prove fatal. But if so desirable an event as his death were to happen tho' no illumination might take place, it is certain that every body would rejoice, but the instruments of his crimes, and his dependants. Alexander the Great resolutely took the medicine from his physician, though he had been informed that the latter intended to poison him, acting in a lofty consciousness of virtue; but Bonaparte has no such foundation for confidence, and has reason not only to fear destruction from an individual but from almost every body who approaches him.
APPROACH OF WINTER.
[AN EXTRACT.]
How short the day, how long and gloomy the night! The verdure of the field is faded; the garden and the grove mourn. Here no bird sings; there no lily blows! How altered from the bloom of spring! The bloom of spring is fled; summer is past; cheerless autumn is retiring; and frowning winter will soon triumph, in the midst of desolation. The blast blows cold, it rises to a tempest, it roars from the frozen mountains of the north. How sad the scene! How dismal the future prospect! Mourn
not; spring again will bloom, the field and the garden again rejoice; and the grove resound with the singing of birds.
Behold frail mortal the picture of thyself! Thy vernal infancy, thy youthful summer, and thy cheerless, autumn of withering age! How swift are thy days; how soon past. What next awaits thee? The winter of death, the cold, the silent grave. How sad the present, how dismal thy future prospect! Yet mourn not; hope still smiles! Thy sleeping dust shall be re-animated, thy mouldering body be clothed with immortal beauty. Then shalt thou rejoice in unfading youth; the blasts of adversity shall blow no more! The night of death will be succeeded by celestial morning! The winter of mortality, by a long eternal Spring!

AT a respectable meeting of the citizens of the town and neighborhood of Alexandria, friendly to the aid & encouragement of Domestic Manufactures, held by adjournment at the old Bank, Wednesday evening, the 15th inst.
JONATHAN SWIFT, esq. in the chair. The committee, to whom was re-committed certain Articles of Association (reported to the last meeting) for revision and amendment, made report that they had the same under consideration, and presented the following; which being read, was approved of, and the blanks being filled up, was ordered to be printed for the information of the public.
Test, JOHN MACLEOD, Sec'y. 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 offices 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 having 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 not 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 proceeding, on that account; and all recovery had, in manner aforesaid, shall be conclusive upon the company, so far as to
render 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. The books of subscription for shares in this institution, shall be opened in Alexandria, on the first day of December next and shall remain open for the space of one day, at least, under the direction of George Doneale, Hugh Smith, John Longden, John M'Kinney, and James Irwin, or a majority of them, of which public notice shall be given in the Alexandria and Washington newspapers. 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.
