following amendment, previously offered by Mr. Johnson, in lieu of the second section, and an amendment in lieu of the 5th section, were agreed to. The bill so amended was reported and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
First amendment in lieu of the second section.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted , That whenever after the passage of this act any felony, misprision of felony, misdemeanor, or breach of peace, shall be committed within the body of a county in any one of the United States, & any process of law shall be issued under the authority of the state, for the purpose of arresting the offender, if the said offender shall be on board of any foreign armed vessel, in any port or harbor of the United States, and within the jurisdiction of the state, in which the offence was committed, it shall be lawful for the Governor, or other supreme executive officer of the state, in which the said offence shall have been committed, upon due proof thereof, and upon his being satisfied that the ordinary habeas corpus is insufficient to insure the execution of the said process, to issue his order directed to any officer having command of regular troops, or armed vessel of the United States in the vicinity, requiring him to aid the officer charged with the execution of the process, with all the force under his command or such part thereof as he necessary, in arresting the offender and all those giving him aid and countenance in resisting the civil authority.
And if the said offender shall flee to any place beyond the jurisdiction of the state, and within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, the officer charged with the execution of the said process, shall be and he is hereby authorised to pursue the said offender into such place, taking with him if necessary the said armed vessel and the arrest him in virtue of the said process. And if the said offender shall flee to and be on board of any foreign armed vessel being in any place beyond the jurisdiction of the state, and within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States; the officer charged with the execution of the said process, shall first demand the delivery of the said offender, of and from the person or persons having charge and command of the said foreign armed vessel, declaring the authority and cause for which the demand is made; and if the said offender be not delivered according to the said demand, or if the officer charged with the execution of the process, be obstructed in attempting to make the demand, then he shall use all the means in his power by force and arms, to enter on board of the said foreign armed vessel, there to search for and arrest the said offender, and all those who are with him giving him aid and countenance, in preventing and resisting the execution of the said process, and the officer charged with the execution of the said process, shall convey the said offender and deliver him over to the civil authority of the state to be dealt with according to law; and all those arrested for being concerned in resisting the execution of the process shall be delivered over to the civil authority of the United States, and shall be punished in the same manner as if they had been concerned in knowingly and wilfully obstructing, resisting or opposing any officer of the United States, in serving or attempting to serve any warrant or other legal or judicial writ issued under the authority of the United States. But if any of those concerned in making the arrest be killed in a place within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, those engaged in resisting the civil authority shall be punished as in case of felonious homicide; and if the person charged with the offence, or any of those concerned with him in resisting, be killed in a place under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, it shall be justified.
Amendment in lieu of the 5th section.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted , That whenever any officer of an armed vessel commissioned by any foreign power, shall on the high seas or elsewhere, commit any trespass on any citizen or vessel of the United States, or any spoliation of the property of any such citizen or any vexation of trading vessels actually coming to or going from the United States, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, on satisfactory proof of the facts, by proclamation, forever to interdict the entrance of the said officer, and of any armed vessel by him commanded within the limits of the United States, and if at any time after such proclamation made, he shall be found within the limits of the United States, he shall be liable therefor, to be arrested, indicted and punished by fine and imprisonment, in any court of the United States having competent jurisdiction, and it shall be a part of the sentence that he shall within such time after the payment of his fine, and the expiration of his term of imprisonment, as the court shall direct, leave the United States, never to return. And if he shall return within the limits of the United States after the passing of such sentence, or be found therein, after the period limited by the court, as aforesaid, he shall again be liable to be indicted, fined and imprisoned at the discretion of the court. Provided always , That if the said officer, shall also have committed any other offence made punishable by this act, he shall be liable to prosecution and punishment, the provisions of this section to the contrary notwithstanding.
Mr. Dana from the committee of claims, presented a bill providing for the settlement of sundry claims to lands within the Mississippi territory.
The bill was read a first time.
Mr. J. Clay moved that it be rejected. After a short conversation, the question was taken by yeas and nays.—Yeas 52—Nays 58.
The question was then taken on reading the bill a second time at this time, and carried, Ayes 59.
It was then referred to a committee of the whole.
On the enquiry of the Speaker for what day it should be made the order,
Mr. Dana moved that it be made the order for to-morrow.

Mr. Varnum in the chair.

The Speaker said the committee had full power to consider the same.
On motion of Mr. Thomas the house went into committee of the whole on the bill authorising the erection of a Bridge across a mill pond and marsh in the navy yard on Long Island leading from Brooklyn to Bushwick.
Mr. Tenny in the chair.

Mr. J. Clay presented the petition of Nicklin and Griffith respecting the ship America, purchased some years since of the house of Anthony and Co. as American property, but which has recently been discovered to have been fraudulently covered by that house, praying she may now be allowed a sea letter as the present owners were entirely ignorant of the fraud.

CHARLESTON, January 29.
INTERESTING FOREIGN NEWS.
We have been favored by capt. Erving, of the ship Ous arrived this morning, in 35 days from Rangoon. (Eng.) with London papers (The Sun and Morning Post) of the 17th of December, from which we lay before our readers the following interesting information.
LONDON, December 17.
It is confidently declared that the Spanish Ambassador, the Chevalier D'Anduaga, has received his passports, and is on the eve of departure from this country. On the other hand, it is said that his Excellency has not made preparations for his immediate return to Spain. We have little doubt, however, that a war between the two countries must absolutely be the result, and, most probably, that hostilities have actually taken place.—We have nothing to add to what we have already communicated to our readers, respecting the departure of Mr. Frere from the court of Madrid; and they may be assured of receiving the earliest intelligence upon a point so interesting, not only to this country, but to all Europe.
Two Hamburg Mails arrived yesterday. By these we have accounts from Constantinople, which state, that the Porte had consented to acknowledge to send new Credentials to the Turkish Ambassador at Paris. The French Minister, not considering this as sufficient, had, it is further stated, again determined to quit Constantinople. We must remark, however, that this intelligence is vague and contradictory, and leaves still much room for doubt. The baggage of the French Am-
bassador had, it appears, been packed up for a fortnight previous to the 26th of October, on which day Madame Bruue was to take her departure. The most probable supposition, we think, appears to be, that Gen. Bruue has left the Turkish Capital.
We are sorry to find that the Yellow Fever has extended to Ragusa, having been carried thither by a vessel from Spain.
Their Swedish Majesties, after experiencing great perils in attempting to sail to Stockholm, were at length forced to return to Stralsund, and it seems doubtful whether they will be able to reach their Capital before spring.
We have long assured our readers that war with Spain was inevitable. We have now to state, that the die is finally cast, and that the letters of marque and reprisal, which have for several days past been prepared, will immediately be issued. The Chevalier D'Anduaga, the Spanish Ambassador at our Court, has received his passports, and purposes setting out this day, on his return to Spain, accompanied by General O'Farrell, an officer in the Spanish service.—The grounds of the war will shortly be made known to the nation by Ministers, and if we are correctly informed, a stronger case than that which will be presented, has rarely been made out on any similar occasion.—Fast sailing vessels are immediately to be despatched to our different settlements abroad. There being no Spanish ships at present in our ports, excepting those under detention by our cruisers, no order for an embargo will of course be issued. A vessel is just arrived at Sadgate creek, which sailed from Cadiz on the 30th ult. with only half a cargo, in consequence of an intimation from the British Consul, that he did not consider it safe for English vessels to remain in that port, an order for an embargo being hourly expected. Six British men of war, of different descriptions, were then cruising off Cadiz.—The disorder in the town had very much abated owing to a material and favorable change in the weather.
Yesterday we received several additional sets of Paris Journals, to the 5th inst. and some few to the 7th, together with the Dutch papers to the 10th, and two Hamburg Mails, have also arrived.—By the latter we find that there is no probability of the difference between France and the Ottoman Porte being amicably adjusted. Though the latter has agreed to style Bonaparte agreeably to his usurped title, it still refuses to send new credentials to its ambassador at Paris: so that in fact, the Porte declines the formal recognition of the usurper as emperor of the French. Brune, the ambassador at Constantinople, has therefore determined on his departure from that city, and on the 26th of October, the date of the last advices, a part of his effects (the whole of which had for some time been packed up) had actually been shipped to France.—In this state of affairs, it is natural to conclude, that an expedition against the Morea will be attempted by France; in which case, however, the enemy will have to contend with the united forces of England and Russia. It is, indeed, rumored, that a Russian military force has already landed in that country, from Corfu, and in various other directions the imperial troops are also said to be in motion; but it must be observed, that these movements are mentioned not in positive terms, or as confirmed facts.
Great Britain has recognised the Emperor Francis, in his new capacity as Emperor of Austria; and the British ambassador at Vienna, the Hon. Mr. Paget, has accordingly delivered his new credentials to his Imperial Majesty.
The Paris papers continue to speak in the most disgusting terms of adulation and flattery on the subject of Bonaparte's coronation, without mentioning any fact beyond what we have already published. Private letters from Paris state, that so disgusted were the principal inhabitants on the occasion, that the greater part of them withdrew themselves entirely from the scene, and remained in the country until after the performance of that sacrilegious act, the commission of that outrage upon the sense of the people, and the perpetration of that insult upon all the legitimate governments.
The Clef du Cabinet states, that the Revolutionary Calendar has already been abolished; but, we find that the whole of the Paris papers, with the exception only of the Gazette de France , continue the corresponding dates of the Revolutionary and Gregorian Calendars .
The Publiciste states on the authority of a letter from Madrid, that Mr. Frere left that city on the 14th ult. a circumstance which appears to have caused the greatest consternation there;—the value of State Bills sell on the occasion to a discount of 48 per cent.—That Mr. Frere has left Madrid, we entertain not the smallest doubt. His brother has received letters from him, dated at Merida, on the frontiers of Portugal, and his arrival in England continues to be hourly expected. It was reported on Saturday, that he had been forcibly detained; but we could not trace the rumor to any authentic source.
The report of a projected change in the Batavian government is revived; and Schimmelpennick, it is added, will certainly be placed at the head of the new system, as a kind of Vice Roy to Bonaparte. The Dutch finances continue to be in a most degraded state; and to add to the distress of the country, the sum required for the ensuing year, greatly exceeds those of the present, of which upwards of 40,000,000 of florins, nearly four millions
sterling are yet unpaid and unprovided for. To the other calamities which have resulted to Holland from its connection with France, that of a national bankruptcy is now seriously apprehended in that devoted country.
Herculaneum Manuscripts .—The six volumes of Papiri, presented to the Prince of Wales by the King of Naples, are arrived in London; and under the immediate auspices of his royal highness, the learned and ingenious will be invited to exert their skill in endeavoring, not merely to develop their contents, but to contrive some more speedy and efficacious means than has hitherto been practised, for unrolling and transcribing the many volumes that yet lie in the ashes of Herculaneum and Pompeii.—In the ninth year of Nero's reign, these two cities experienced a most formidable shock from an earthquake, which overthrew great part of them.—Nor had they recovered altogether from the effects of this calamity by their own exertions and the aid of Imperial munificence, when a second calamity of a different nature, but equally unexpected, consigned both at once to the most complete oblivion. This calamity was the great eruption of Vesuvius. Herculaneum was buried under a mass of lava and volcanic matter, to the depth of 34 feet. Pompeii being more distant from the mountain, was overwhelmed principally with a shower of ashes, not in any place more than half the depth of the other city. Before this eruption the whole of Vesuvius was in a state of cultivation and fertility from the top to the bottom.
Neither of these cities were discovered again till a period of sixteen hundred and thirty four years had elapsed.—It was in the year 1713, that some labourers, in sinking a well, struck their tools against a statue, which was on a bench in the theatre of Herculaneum. Forty years afterwards, Pompeii was excavated with much less difficulty, as the incumbent stratum was neither so hard or so deep as that of the former city. The number of manuscripts saved is said to be about five hundred.
PORTSMOUTH, Dec. 16.
The following is an extract of a letter received this morning, dated on board the Northumberland, off Ferrol, December 7:—
"Our squadron consists, here, of nine sail of the line. Admiral Cochrane is to be superceded in this command, of which he is in daily expectation, being appointed Commander in Chief on the West India (Windward) station. Orders were received by the Illustrious, not to detain any Spanish vessels. The Spaniards are in much expectation of a war, yet they continue to supply our squadron as usual with fresh meat and vegetables."
PARIS, Dec. 4.
The following is an extract of a private letter from Madrid, dated 15th November. "This city has been very much agitated since the intelligence of the capture of our frigates. A war with England being considered, after that circumstance, inevitable, the Government Paper is at 52 per cent. discount. The departure of the English Minister, however, being delayed, a favorable turn was presumed upon, and they rose to 55: but at length this minister set off yesterday at noon, and the Paper has fallen to 48. The French Minister, General Boursonville, is expected here in three days, and his arrival, under the present circumstances, cannot fail to cause much sensation. The intelligence from Cadiz of the 9th still speaks of the contagious malady as not having ceased in that city, although it had of a sudden abated. In truth there remains very few persons who have not been attacked by it."
CORONATION OF BONAPARTE.
When his Majesty the Emperor approached the altar to be crowned, he took the imperial crown himself and placed it upon his head.—It was a diadem of oak and laurel leaves in gold.—His majesty afterwards took the crown destined for the Empress, and after having decorated himself with it for a moment, he placed it upon the head of his august consort. The firmness, grandeur, and nobleness of her manner, drew from every quarter shouts of admiration and joy. The mixed dignity, grace, and modesty, remarked by every one in the demeanor of the Empress, in quitting the canopy under which she had been received at the entrance of Notre Dame, are the theme of general conversation.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 11.

Fourteen being present, and ten absent. Of those marked absent, we understand that Philip N. Nicholas is in the city.
Mr. J. Randolph observed, that various considerations, which it was unnecessary to detail, induced him, on behalf of the managers, to move a postponement of the trial till to-morrow, when they hoped to be prepared to proceed therewith.
Mr. Harper said that, on behalf of Judge Chase, he would not object to the motion.
The President informed the Managers, that the senate acceded to their request and added that the senate would attend to-morrow at 12 o'clock for the purpose of proceeding with the trial.
At the request of Mr. Harper, the witnesses on the part of Judge Chase were called over, to the number of forty-one as follows:—those present are marked (p)—and those absent (a.)
Witnesses summoned by Judge Chase. William Marshall, a David M. Randolph, p Edmund Randolph, a John A. C. Vallie, p Robert Gamble, a John Marshall, p John Bassett, p Cyrus Griffin, sick.

Saturday, Feb. 9.
The court was opened precisely at 12 o'clock.
Present, the managers, attended by the house of representatives in committee of the whole; and Judge Chase, attended by his counsel, as mentioned in the proceedings of yesterday.
At a quarter after 12 o'clock, Mr. J. Randolph, on behalf of the managers, opened the impeachment, and in a speech of about one hour and an half in duration presented a general view of the grounds on which it was intended to sustain the several charges exhibited in the articles of impeachment.
Evidence was then adduced in support of the allegations contained in the first article. William Lewis, of Philadelphia, was first examined, and after him, Alexander James Dallas, of the same place; when, at a quarter before 4 o'clock the Senate retired; the President intimating that the trial would be resumed on Monday at 12 o'clock.
[It being our intention to lay before the public in this paper a detailed statement of the proceedings in this important trial as soon as it can be given with accuracy, we forbear, for the present offering any sketch of arguments and evidence which, from its conciseness would necessarily be very imperfect and unsatisfactory.]
IN SENATE
OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. Breckenridge in pursuance of instructions from the legislature of Kentucky at the last session, to her Senators in Congress, laid on the table the following resolution which was read and ordered to lie for consideration.
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. Two thirds of both houses concurring, that the following article be proposed to the legislatures of the several states, as an amendment to the constitution of the United States; which when ratified by three fourths of the said

legislatures shall be valid as part of the said constitution, viz. ARTICLE. "The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to controversies between a state and citizens of another state; between citizens of different states, between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states; and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."
PETERSBURG, February 12. MARRIED. On Thursday evening last, Mr. THOMAS FIELD, Editor of the "Petersburg Republican," to Miss SUSAN SCOTT, of Dinwiddie county.
MAP OF VIRGINIA. From the Petersburg Intelligencer. Messrs. Dickson & Pease. THE object of the enclosed letter will be answered by publishing it: I have therefore to request that you will insert it in your next paper. A rough draught of the MAP therein referred to, has been submitted to the inspection of the members of the General Assembly, who have generally expressed their approbation of the work, and offered their friendly interposition to insure its publication. In consequence of which an ingenious and competent artist has been engaged to engrave the map, which I flatter myself will be executed in a style not inferior to any similar work in the United States. Proposals will be handed you in a few days.
I am your's &c. &c. WILLIAM PRENTIS. Petersburg, Feb. 6. 1804.
DEAR SIR, THE MAP OF VIRGINIA, to which you have lent so considerable assistance in the collection of some of the necessary materials, is nearly completed. For the forwardness of the work, I am indebted to Mr. William Davis, whom I have found to be a neat, correct and intelligent draughtsman.
In making to our countrymen your proposals for the publication of this Map, it will be proper to mention, in a few words, the data upon which it is founded. These ought to be known, in order that some previous judgment may be formed of its pretensions to public attention and encouragement; and also, that it may not be supposed, a greater degree of accuracy is assumed, than the information possessed will warrant. For this purpose, it may be stated—
1st. That the latitude and longitude of several important points, unascertained till of late, afford so many essential requisites in the formation of a Map, and cannot fail, as far as they extend, to conduct to greater accuracy. 2dly. That plots of counties furnished by their surveyors, particularly by those of the trans-montane and middle parts of the state, have been collected with much labor, and very considerable success; that surveys also, which have been made of the boundaries of counties, of the courses of rivers, of the bearings of mountains, and of the distance of places, have been sought for with the greatest diligence, and obtained except in a few instances.
3dly. That the exposure of the first delineation to the animadversion of the Representatives in Richmond, whose local information may be presumed to be correct, has afforded the means of retrenching many errors, and of supplying a deficiency in materials.
Lastly. The completion of the boundaries of the state, together with the labors of those who have preceded in the same work, furnish principles for geographical combination, which lead, in some cases, to useful results. Such is the ground work of the Map. Its size, which will be 5 feet 6 inches in length, and 3 feet 8 inches in breadth, will be found, I think, sufficiently suited to the magnitude of the state.
With respect to the delineation, it is observed, that accuracy, so far as the present state of the geographical knowledge of this country could be obtained, and will permit, has been studiously aimed at. The degree of correctness of which the Map may boast, is greatly short of that which might be attained by the interposition of the legislature of Virginia. It is only her fiat, which can give existence to a perfectly just picture of herself. In the mean time, I flatter myself, that the representation which is now proposed to be exhibited, imperfect as it may be in some respects, will still be found more satisfactory, than any which hath hitherto appeared; and will aid in the promotion of that geographical knowledge, which is the most interesting to every Virginian. I am, dear Sir, Yours, very respectfully, J. MADISON. Williamsburg, Feb. 1, 1805. Mr. WILLIAM PRENTIS, Petersburg.

VIRGINIA ARGUS. RICHMOND: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1805.
The Charleston Courier of the 31st ult. says—"By private letters from England, on which the utmost reliance may be placed, we are informed that a complete & firm coalition has been formed between Lord GRENVILLE and his party, and Mr. WINDHAM, Mr. Fox, and all their friends. The sturdy patriotic COXETT, has been eulogizing Mr. Fox—this is not surprising. But he has written a panegyric on Sir FRANCIS BURNETT—this is indeed extraordinary."
FROM CHARLESTON, JANUARY 29. SPANISH WAR.
If any doubts could remain, after reading the London accounts published in the TIMES of this evening, of war having been declared by Great Britain against Spain, they will be removed by the verbal information of captain Erving, of the Otis, who states that he read the official declaration, in a London paper, at RANS-GATE, which port he left on the 22d December.—Captain Erving endeavored to procure the paper, but could not.
It appears that Bonaparte has at length assumed the imperial crown—we are not in possession of the particular details of this ceremony; but from information derived from desultory paragraphs on the subject, it appears to have been uncommonly splendid.—His holiness the POPE was present, and performed a principal character in the grand drama.
Sir George Rumbold, the British minister seized at Hamburg, has, after a short confinement in the Temple at Paris, been liberated, and has arrived in London. It seems the papers seized, did not justify his detention.
Extract of a letter from a commercial house in New York to their friends in Petersburg, dated the 24th inst.
"You mention hard times in Virginia, on account of the snow.—For this we feel the strongest emotion, and inform you that the Merchants' Bank dissolves on the first day of May; they have been drawing as much specie out of the other banks as possible, which has stopped all discounts entirely—immense sums of paper lay over daily, and a great number of good and rich houses have entirely stopped payment.—Such distress was never before known in our city—wood at 10 to 12 dollars per load (14-sh cord).—For five days no mail arrived—God knows when the trouble will end."
It is stated that some merchants and others of New York have lately formed themselves into a society for the intent of stopping payment, in consequence of the difficulty of procuring discounts at the banks;—it is much to be hoped that such a step may not be taken, the precedent will be injurious to the commercial interests, and the act itself may confer dishonor on those violating such serious obligations. (Aurora.)
Public schools. —In December last the republican legislature of New Hampshire passed an act for the requisition of the public schools within that state: the act requires the proper officers to assess annually the inhabitants of their respective towns or districts, according to their polls and rateable estates, in a sum to be computed at the rate of forty five dollars for every one dollar of their proportion of public taxes: the sums when collected to be applied to the support of an English grammar school for each town or district, in which reading, writing and arithmetic should be taught.
It is made necessary that the person applying to teach should have a certificate, from some person competent to judge, of his or her ability. We are rejoiced to find so much attention bestowed by the different state legislatures, to this most important object, in a republican government. (ib.)

LITERARY. It is a source of unfeigned satisfaction to every one whose mind is not estranged from first principles, and TRUTH, to find that a history of the Revolutionary War, is at length announced by Mrs. M. WARREN, of Plymouth. It is needless to observe to any person
in the northern states that Mrs. Warren is the sister of James Otis, the master-spirit of the revolution; that she has been conversant (during every part of the period which she describes) with the most illustrious statesmen and patriots who produced and guided the revolution; among whom her own husband, the present venerable Gen. Warren, was by no means the least conspicuous. Her sources of information are therefore the most authentic; and her fidelity to truth, and her ability to clothe the truth in a captivating dress, are indisputable. (Pol. Obser.)
AN EXTRACT.
To contemplate the hour of dissolution is the indispensable duty of transitory mortals. Did we know the moment of departure, repentance might, perhaps be procrastinated. But as the Deity has, for wise and benevolent purposes, shut futurity from our view; as the next moment may be the harbinger of death, the call for preparation is loud and imperious. Let me ask him, who has rioting in dissipation, who has drank the bowl of intemperance to the bottom, what must he think if he awoke from the sleep of intemperance at the eternal tribunal of offended and insulted Omnipotence? Life is held by so transitory a tenure; so many casualties waylay & beset us at every step we advance, that not to prepare for that event, betrays a kind of morbid insensibility of heart more fitting for a brute than a man. Well does inspiration ask the question, "Our fathers where are they? We behold the mansion of our youth; the tree, where our infant sports endeared our existence; and where we once beheld the venerable form of a parent, smiling with tenderness on his children.—Look for him now—the "place, which once knew him, knows him no more;" and we can only find him covered with the clods of the valley. It is an undoubted fact, that death redoubles the value of the object by deprivation. Although the heart cannot tax itself with any criminal act, remembrances awakes a thousand instances of those petty transgressions, to which all human nature is liable, which give a poignancy to the sufferings of the mourner. However much we loved the object of our grief when alive, when dead we are persuaded we ought to have loved more. Whatever irritations existed are buried with the corps—whatever was noble or lovely in the character, survives a melancholy remembrance. Thus does the heart of affection create new materials for misery;—and I will add, for the comfort of the mourner, that this very propensity is the sure mark of an amiable mind. When sickness wears away the constitution by the "cold gradations of decay," the surviving friends are, in a measure, prepared for the awful change that is soon to succeed. But where we beheld the face at one moment flushed with health, and the next covered with the paleness of death, the change is so sudden and awful, that the heart sinks under the weight of its pressure. Let those, who have been thus afflicted, now pass in melancholy review a life without reproach towards man and towards God. Let memory supply what death has taken away; and by following the footsteps of the dear deceased, be prepared for a dissolution as sudden, and leave behind them a character equally revered.
Let us not however, give ourselves up to melancholy forebodings and gloomy anticipation. We are under the protection of a Being whose "tender mercies are over all his works;" and who will heal the wounds which his own hands have inflicted. To complain is puerile. We know the tenure by which life is holden; to despond is puerile and unavailing; but to improve the afflictions of Providence, answers the designs of our Creator, and converts temporal misfortunes into the blessings, which "time can neither give nor take away."
The following advertisement is copied from the Kentucky Gazette. The society we believe is the first of its kind, and certainly laudable.
The society of BACHELORS, for the promotion of matrimony, will meet at Travellers Hall, on Wednesday evening next at 5 o'clock. The members are requested to be punctual in their attendance, as business of importance will come before them.

Deported this life on Tuesday evening, January 1st, 1805, as his seat in Charlotte county, after a lingering and painful illness, which he bore with much fortitude, Mr. QUIN MORTON, in the 55th year of his age.
By his friends and acquaintances, who were numerous, his death is much lamented, as he possessed in an eminent degree, those qualities which conciliate esteem. In domestic life, he was the kind, affectionate husband, the fond and tender parent, and in each character his loss will
be long deplored by his surviving relatives. In his social intercourse, he was alike frank and sincere in his friendship, and open and undisguised in his enmities. As he sought and merited the esteem of the virtuous, so he shunned the intimacy of those he deemed unworthy of his friendship. In public life, his conduct was upright, and guided by an understanding which he had much improved. As a citizen, he cherished a sacred regard for those principles which gave freedom to his country—whose interest, with firmness and zeal in every crisis, he steadily supported. In the affectionate recollections of his relatives and friends, he will long occupy a place. He died beloved, as he lived respected.

MAP OF VIRGINIA.
PROPOSALS, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A MAP OF VIRGINIA, FORMED FROM ACTUAL SURVEYS, AND THE LATEST AS WELL AS MOST ACCURATE OBSERVATIONS.
BY JAMES MADISON, D. D. PRESIDENT OF WILLIAM & MARY COLLEGE.
To which will be added, A MAP of the greater part of the state of Ohio, from actual surveys, including the whole of the Virginia military tract—with all that part of the state west of the Ohio river, to the Indiana boundary line. The north-east corner of the Map will be ornamented with an interesting View of the City of Richmond.
The size of the MAP will be four feet six inches in length, and three feet eight inches in breadth. An ingenious and skilful engraver is engaged to execute the work, in a style not inferior to any similar work in the United States.
CONDITIONS. The price to subscribers will be eight dollars, neatly mounted, colored and glazed—One dollar, (to lighten the great expense of publication,) to be paid on subscribing. To non-subscribers, the price will be ten dollars. [COPY-RIGHT SECURED]
In offering the above work to the public, the proprietors are sensible that excellence is not of an attainable; but with candor and truth, equally remote from arrogance and partiality, they can say, that they conscientiously believe it has a just claim to the confidence and patronage of the people.
A Map of Virginia has been long and anxiously looked for: None has been published, on the plan of the one now offered, for many years, when Virginia was the frontier county.
The labor, expense, and apparent difficulties, in accomplishing so interesting a work, have deterred several from the attempt. The proprietors, feeling that many of the other states had recently given encouragement to similar productions, and entertaining a hope of the real dignity and importance of Virginia, embarked in the business. From a variety of united efforts, that the magnitude and utility of the work would insure, if accomplished, a remuneration. And while Virginia is possessed of the love of science and virtue, they no, and believe she will view domestic productions, which prove eminently useful, with a generous smile.
The members of the General Assembly, and other gentlemen, who have seen a rough draught of the map, are reported to be in their friends, as the impracticability of showing the map to all who may be disposed to subscribe, must be apparent.
Those gentlemen who take subscription papers, are requested to return them to the subscriber, in Petersburg, by the first day of May. The maps will be ready for subscribers in the course of the ensuing summer. (15A) WILLIAM PRENTIS. Petersburg, February 1805. * Subscriptions received by S. Pleasants jun. and others with whom subscription papers are lodged.
