20 DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber, on Monday the 25th of April, 1803, about 15 miles above Cumberland court house, a Negro fellow named DAVID. He is a low well made fellow, about 30 years old, somewhat marked with the small pox, had on an old brown cloth coat, a striped cloth waistcoat, an old blue pair of calmer breeches, a pair of dark coloured striped stockings. I bought said fellow of Martin Turner, in Richmond, who bought him of Mrs. Sears. He has a wife in Richmond.
Whoever will take up said fellow and secure him, so that I get him, and write word of it to Mr. MARSHALL, Tavern keeper, at Powhatan court house, shall receive the above reward with all reasonable charges, by
JAMES JONES.
All owners of vessels are cautioned against taking the above negro on board.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Gentlemen, who wish to subscribe to the Saturday's Recorder, are requested to send in their subscriptions, within a very few days. But this they need not do, unless they send, at the same time, two dollars in advance. The next Saturday's paper, to wit: that of the 26th. current, is the last that can be issued to any person either in town or country, unless to those that have paid for it, one year in advance.
In pleading before the court of Henrico against the King of Clubs, Mr. William Marshall observed that "The Recorder had the most extensive circulation of any newspaper in Virginia; and that there was never, perhaps, an instance of such an extensive patronage acquired by any other newspaper, in so short a time."—This patronage has been acquired by exposing, with an impartial hand, the faults of all parties.
There never was more occasion for political vigilance than at present. As the bible says, there is DEATH in the pot. There exists an atrocious conspiracy against the liberty of the press, and, of course, against the liberty of the people. This can be doubted by nobody that has heard of Cromwell's trial, on which we have enlarged at so much length.
Again, the right of selecting their own magistrates has in effect, been torn from a majority of the citizens of Richmond, by a phalanx of democratical usurpers.
Take notice, also, of what follows. In last session of assembly, Mr. Venable proposed a declaratory resolution that the truth shall be given in evidence in cases of libel. This resolution was, for that time, defeated by Peter Carr, the correspondent, such as he was, of general Washington, and the confidential agent and nephew of Thomas Jefferson. There can be no doubt that Peter, like his apostolical namesake, was inspired from above.

CITY OF RICHMOND,
In Common Hall, Jan. 17th 1803.
WHEREAS the present funds of the corporation are not adequate to the expense of erecting a WORKHOUSE for the city, which would combine within itself all the conveniencies which a well regulated institution of this kind would require; having a regard to the future population of this city, yet it is wise and expedient that the funds now destined for this useful institution should be laid out in such a manner as to answer the present purposes of the corporation, and to admit such future additions as the encreasing population may require. Your Committee, therefore, beg leave to recommend it to the consideration of the Common Hall, to call in the aid of those who have experience of such institutions, and to offer a premium for the best plan of a Workhouse, which will be so contrived as to admit of being erected in parts, as the funds of the corporation will from time to time afford.
Resolved, therefore, that the committee appointed to prepare a plan of a Workhouse be discharged from further proceeding therein. And that the Mayor be requested to give notice in the newspapers, or otherwise, that the sum of thirty dollars will be given by the corporation, as a premium to the person who shall produce to the Hall, on the third Monday in February next, the best plan of a Workhouse, constructed as above mentioned, and to be approved of by the Hall, estimating the cost at four thousand dollars.

TO THE PUBLIC,
By JAMES T. CALLENDER.
MANY gentlemen, when subscribing to this paper, have enquired for complete sets of the Recorder. These are not to be had. But this little publication will, in some measure, supply the want of them. Besides the seven letters to Jones, the last of which has run through every state, and every second newspaper in the union, the collection contains many other articles. Among these are, Defence of Aaron Burr—Mr. Samuel Coleman No. 1.—Defence of Timothy Pickering—A little more about republican economy—with a variety of small pieces.
At a meeting of the Common Hall, for the city of Richmond, called by the Mayor, and held at the house of William Rose, in the said city, on Monday the 28th day of February, 1803.
Resolved, that the Mayor give notice in the newspapers, that the Hall have adopted a plan for a POOR HOUSE, and will receive proposals from undertakers for building the same, at any time before the third Monday in next month. The plan is lodged in the hands of Mr. Robert B. James. The proposals must be made in writing.

RICHMOND MILLS.
THE subscriber hereby informs the public, that at length, after much trouble and expense, he has nearly completed one of his Mills on the James River Canal, in which there are two pair of Burr Stones for manufacturing WHEAT, and two pair of Cologne Stones now ready to grind CORN.
That the inconveniences which might arise from delay and difference of measures may be avoided, CORN will be received only by weight, at fifty pounds to the bushel, and a supply of MEAL and HOMINY will always be kept ready to give in exchange, at the rate of eighty-five pounds of Meal, or ninety-two pounds of Hominy, for one hundred pounds of Corn.
After the loss of weight by cleaning, and evaporation in grinding is deducted, the toll on Meal will be only about one tenth, and on Hominy one twentieth; it will, therefore, be much to the interest of those who keep horses, to have all their Corn ground.
As the subscriber is now providing a Fan and Screen for the purpose of cleaning the Corn effectually before it is ground, and as the Meal will be made from the best Corn only, and none but such as is merchantable will be received; he hopes that general satisfaction will be given.

The RECO'DER.
RICHMOND.
May 4th. 1803.
Misses Pace and Callender.
You will oblige a subscriber, by giving the following a place in your paper. Had more been said by others in answer to Timoleon, this attempt should never have appeared.
A PIECE under the signature of Timoleon, published in the Examiner of the 13th inst. relating to the unhappy event of Friday week last, betrays a degree of intemperate warmth, in some parts, evidently directed to excite the feelings of a particular individual concerned in that transaction. From the peculiar situation of that gentleman, at this time, it would seem that a spirit of generosity and fairness, if not the strict demands of justice, would have suggested the propriety of observing silence towards him, till he might be in circumstances to explain, without reticence, and to defend his conduct. There is, at least, a possibility, if not the strongest probability, of his being able, fully, to refute the charges laid against him, and to prove the part he has acted, every way correct and honorable.
From a long and intimate acquaintance to the gentleman alluded to, the writer of this article feels secure in hazarding the opinion that he has too high a sense of propriety, and too much prudence, to have aided Mr. Tyrrel with any direct advice on a point of such peculiar importance and nicety; so far indeed, as his sentiments on the subject coming to the knowledge of Mr. Terrel through public channels, may have influenced this gentleman's conduct, he may be said to have had some sort of agency in the business. But can it be called an agency offensive to the laws either of justice, propriety, or virtue? If another chooses to adopt my opinions and rules of conduct, and any ill consequences result to him from doing so, with what appearance of reason or of morality could he charge his misfortunes upon me, when neither my advice nor consent were obtained to countenance him! But it is a waste of time and paper to attempt shewing an absurdity which must be manifest to every one.
Yet, with a view, it is presumed, to heighten the appearance of the gentleman's alleged misconduct, an uncaused allusion is made to political divisions, and notwithstanding the very firm and manly demeanor of Mr. Tyrrel at the court house, and on the fatal scene of action, every honorable feeling is now denied to him, and he is represented as dragged reluctantly to the field, under the "command and tutelage of an inveterate federalist." How a charge of this nature can well be "substantiated in a court of justice" or elsewhere, does not so readily appear. Neither is it at all evident that so much odium attaches to the character of a federalist, in the estimation of persons unbiased by party prejudices, as seems intended to be so emphatically implied in the passage above quoted.
Passing by this immaterial circumstance, however, the reader is reminded that the decree of guilt incurred by this inveterate federalist, has already been highly adverted to. Some additional weight, perhaps, may be given to the observation on that point, by stating the solemn declarations of Mr. Grymes in his last moments, that "no personal resentment towards him (the friend of Mr. Terrel) for the part he had taken" in the affair, or words of the same import. When this fact, the truth of which is here solemnly pledged, shall be remembered by the public, it is trusted every due consideration will be given it. The gentlemen of whom Mr. Grymes made this declaration, has always expressed, and there is no reason to doubt, has always felt the greatest esteem for Mr. Grymes. And it can be easily shown, that at the time he assumed the character in which he acted on the fatal day, neither his principal nor himself had any idea hostile to the person of that unfortunate young man. When, therefore, he voluntarily threw himself in the face of danger, it was with the most extreme reluctance that Mr. Terrel and his friend undertook the sad duty that then devolved on them. But the latter being already bound by a general promise, with the conditional exception only of a single individual, he could not now hold himself at liberty to retract. That he felt as a man, and as a friend, the untimely fate of the amiable Grymes, none who really know him can hesitate a moment to believe; from his philanthropic breast a tributary sigh will often speak the remembrance of his virtues.
In conclusion, it will only be remarked further, that Timoleon seems to draw a particular inference, from the conduct of Mr. Tyrrel's friend, unfavorable alike to his head and heart, and even in some measure to challenge his spirit to the field! It is with the most heartfelt pleasure, and under the strongest persuasion of correctness, that the person who now speaks for him makes no scruple to affirm, that from principles both of reason and humanity, that gentleman is most decidedly averse from the practice of duelling in all its forms and parts; and that nothing short of the impetuous calls of friendship, duty, or insisted honor, can ever induce him to lend the smallest countenance. Yet, when the time
shall ever unhappily arrive, that in roles upon a principal character in such a drama, he will most assuredly approve himself in every essential point, completely the man of feeling and the gentleman.
It was not intended to have been so prolix, but the nature of the subject so interesting to feeling, has unavoidably led to it. The only end in view was to offer some apology for an absent friend, and to request a suspension of public opinion (so far as may be interested) on the publication of Timoleon, till more complete information shall enable them to judge with less danger of prejudice and error.
AMICUS.

(The Letter from Newbern, (N.C.)
(Concluded from our last.)
ALTHOUGH you and many others of the idolatrous tribe, who fall down before the public will and worship it, are obstinate and hard of heart, and will not believe in the divine mission of the pole-man, yet, the time may come when you will relent, when your obduracy will be changed into conviction and reverence. It may be, that this change is to be wrought upon you, as the miracle which is to give credence to his divine commission; it may possibly be by a club.
This sort of half prediction is forced upon me here, because I see so many of my neighbors, who, at this moment believe in the divinity of the son of Dunin. That he is the only true apostle of the deity they worship, and the holy interpreter of his sacred will. And because history teaches something of the obstacles and difficulties, which a mere man has to encounter and overcome, who, like the pole-man, undertakes to consecrate himself and bestow on himself a sacred character, before he can bring the few to believe, that he is a true prophet, and speaks by the mouth of a god. The many are more pliable and kind, and always ready to receive conviction, and surrender up their wills, on the first exhibition of the serpent. What a stubborn struggle did the true illustrious prophets and law givers, quoted above, hold against the contempt and incredulity of the people, before they could establish a general belief in the tribe, to which they severally belonged, that their appointment was from the deity of their worship to expound his will to them; and those among the tribes with whom the prophets were the most intimate, were at first the most hardened in contempt and unbelief; but who became the most warm and enthusiastic disciples after conviction. The first and most arduous conquest of Mahomet, (says Gibbon) were those of his wife, his servant, his pupil, and his friend.
Having, as I trust, discharged the claims which philosophy had upon me, by the industrious and laborious investigation, that I have given the cause which produced the resemblance between your queries and the Frenchman's, I shall now proceed to the main object of this letter, which is to engage you to send me two of your papers, and to that end, I have enclosed you a forty shilling bill of the paper currency of this state. Any merchant, and there must be many such in Richmond, who has connections in trade in this state, will readily give you four dollars for it; the price which you demand for your paper per year. A bank bill of the amount could not be obtained. I have not thought it prudent to send specie enclosed in a letter, lest it might afford temptation to break it up. As most persons seeing so bulky a packet, as my philosophical letter makes, addressed to James Thomson Callender, would feel an itching to see the inside of it; and there are some others, perhaps, whose occupations it may be, at present, to handle letters, who might have an additional motive to rifle it over, and above that of mere curiosity on feeling something hard within it.
Nothing flatters the self-love of a man more than to find, that his sentiments and opinions coincide with those entertained by illustrious and distinguished persons; and it is due to you, that I acknowledge two instances in which you have furnished the source from whence my feelings have drawn the most copious and exquisite gratifications of this kind. One is, that I estimate your talents as an author, precisely as the reputed writer of the Declaration of Independence did, when you were engaged in writing the Prospect Before Us. The other is, that as to the conduct of your paper, I have the honor to think with the chief justice, that in some respects, it is the best ordered paper in the United States, particularly in the method by which it manages the high, as well as the low and base organs of the public will. In this, the conduct is excellent, because it is formed entirely upon a model of their own procuring and contrivance, executed after their own sort, but in a style superior and commanding.
As this may, in part, be considered a political letter by some people into whose hands it may possibly fall, I entreat you to accept of a philosophical apology, for not signing my name to it; and as there is one already framed to my hand by a great philosopher, rather better suited to my purpose, than the corporal's letter was to Stern's in the affair with Madam de L***, because I have neither to take the cream gently off it, nor to whip it up in my own way; nor even to leave out that part
which relates to mounting guard; I shall, therefore, take the liberty to offer it to you in the philosopher's own words:
"You will know from whom this comes without a signature: the omission of which has been rendered almost habitual with me by the curiosity of the post offices. Indeed, the period is now approaching, during which I shall discontinue writing letters as much as possible, knowing that every inare will be used to get hold of what may be perverted in the eyes of the public."
Please direct your papers to the coffee house Newbern, North Carolina, and I shall receive them.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient
And most humble Servant.
To Mr. James Thomson Callender.
FROM THE NEW-YORK GAZETTE.
REMARKS
On the marquis of Casa Yrujo's communication to our executive, from the post.
AND what is there in the above to occasion such a tumult of joy in the democrats of this city? One would really suppose that the marquis of Casa Yrujo had not only married into the family of governor M'Kean, but had some how or other became related to every good democrat in town. Before, however, we suffer ourselves to die with rapture in "aromatic pain," let us look calmly once more at this hand-kissing communication of the sweet-scented Marquis.
"His catholic majesty, as just in his resolutions as desirous of living in the greatest harmony with the United States, has provided that the deposit should continue at New-Orleans, until the two governments shall come to an agreement about another equivalent place." Before we advance a step further, we should be glad to know what two governments are here intended? If the reader will turn to the Evening Post, of the 18th of March, he will find a letter from this same marquis of Casa Yrujo, the Spanish minister, to the secretary of state; and in the Evening Post of the 21st of March, he will find another, from Monsieur Pichon, the French minister, from both which official papers it appears unequivocally, and in express words, that "France is now notoriously the proprietor of Louisiana," and that his catholic majesty is nothing more than "the guarantee to France for Louisiana, till France shall have occupied it." We quote the verbatim from these official papers; and now we ask any man of the democratic party to explain to us, if he can, with what show of propriety his catholic majesty can promise us that he will hereafter come to an agreement, or make a treaty with us respecting a certain territory to which he acknowledges he has no claim, over which he can exercise no jurisdiction, and which he only keeps the possession of, as the guarantee for France, the rightful owner? Tells us, Mr. L*****, you, who now, forgetful of character, are so busily engaged in running about the city with these handbills, and congratulating your friends on their contents, shew us, if you can, that this is any thing more than a sheer, downright impudent attempt to impose upon, and to gull the people of the United States in the most gross and shameful manner?
But admitting it every word to be precisely true and correct, what is the amount of it? The place of deposit is to be restored for the present, and what then? Is any reparation for losses promised? Is the conduct of the Spanish intendant disavowed, or himself censured in even the slightest manner? Not a syllable of all this.
Let me put a familiar case, I have a way in common with my next door neighbour, which is essential to my convenience; he leaves the country and puts an agent in his house during his absence, who shuts up this way and obliges me to be at great expence in providing some other outlet. I commence a law suit for reparation: he hears of it, and writes to me that he has sold the premises, and has no controul over it, but that he has ordered the way to be opened, and will agree with me one of these days for its further continuance; but says not a word of damages, nor admits that his agent has been to blame. On this I call my neighbours in, and hold a
day of rejoicing. Now am I a man of sense and spirit, or am I a fool and driveller?
The truth is, this conduct of his catholic majesty, backed with the same sort of language; this finesse in shifting all responsibility for his own acts from his own shoulders, on to those of some of his officers has been the practice of the Spanish court for more than thirty years. In the great affair of the Falkland Islands, after having committed a violence against the rights of Great Britain similar to what has been now committed against the rights of this country, his catholic majesty then disowned the act, as he has now done, and charged it upon his intendant. He then, too, in the same manner as he has now done, promised restitution, but behold the great earl of Chatham, rising with dignity in the house of lords, and expressing himself in the following just, lofty, and forcible language.
"Certainly, my lords, there never was a more odious, a more infamous falsehood imposed on a great nation. It degrades the king's honor; it is an insult to parliament. I beg your lordship's attention - and I hope I shall be understood when I repeat, that the court of Spain, having disavowed the act of their governor, is an absolute, a palpable falsehood. Let me ask, my lords, when the first communication was made by the court of Madrid, of their being apprised of their taking Falkland's Islands, was it accompanied with an offer of instant restitution, of immediate satisfaction, and the punishment of the Spanish governor? If it was not, they have adopted the act as their own, and the very mention of a disavowal is an impudent insult offered to the king's dignity. The king of Spain disowns the thief, while he leaves him unpunished, and profits by the theft; in vulgar English he is the receiver of stolen goods, and ought to be treated accordingly. My lords, the pretended disavowal by the court of Spain is as ridiculous as it is false."
"A celebrated writer of that day, says, "An open hostility, authorized by the catholic king, is called an act of a governor." And afterwards, when speaking of the conduct of his majesty in offering restitution, he thus energetically expresses himself: "Restitution of a possession, and reparation of an injury, are different in substance as they are in language. The very act of restitution may contain, as in this instance, it palpably does, a shameful aggravation of the injury."
Such was the becoming language of the great men in the English nation; such is the language which so eminently becomes the real statesmen of this country to hold on this occasion. Such language is held by the federalists; and to our adversaries we leave it, with their pitiful systems of philosophy and economy, to adopt the reverie. We are not yet so lost to all honorable sentiment, as to
"Walk under their huge legs and peep about To find ourselves dishonorable graves."
FROM THE NEW-YORK GAZETTE,
OF APRIL 17.
THE exertions of federalists yesterday has given cause of congratulation. From pretty accurate calculations at the close of the polls last evening, there was a decided majority for the federal ticket. Nothing but industry is required to maintain the victory. Let our zeal be increased in the good cause, and the interests of our country are secured.
It is currently reported that the Spanish minister, the day after he had sent his letter and dispatches to the secretary of state, to be forwarded to New-Orleans, delivered another set of dispatches to our government, in which were contained an official account of the transfer of Louisiana to France, and of the orders for delivering the same accordingly. From these dispatches it officially appears, that our conjecture concerning this business was correct, and that Spain had no right to issue the orders as published. It is said these dispatches were communicated for the purpose of having them published; but the president thinks it would be better

delay that a while. Not enjoying the privilege of Duane, in peeping into the cabinet and searching the records of state, we cannot vouch for its correctness; but it is generally believed to be true.

Our readers must have observed, that Mr. Davis, a democratic member of Congress, from Kentucky, has of late proved extremely troublesome to his party in the house of Representatives. He has, in a firm and independent tone expressed his indignation at the churlish manner in which the unwarrantable conduct of the Spaniards at New Orleans has been treated; and he has dealt forth such weighty blows, that it has been found expedient either to get rid of him, or to administer an anodyne, for the purpose of abating his watchfulness. Our worthy president has, therefore, appointed Mr. Davis, a judge of the Indiana territory! [Balance.]
PHILADELPHIA, April 19.
WE hear that Mr. Suter, one of the sheriff's officers, was yesterday shot with a pistol ball, by a man of the name of Sheetz, upon whom Suter was about to serve some legal process. The ball is said to have entered his side, below the ribs, and has not been extracted. Notwithstanding the wound, he apprehended the man conveyed him to the city, and lodged him in jail. The affair happened, as we understand, in Germantown. The wound is considered as dangerous.

DEMOCRATIC DISSENTIONS.
WE have heard hints and insinuations, and we have had communication of facts respecting persons high in confidence with the republican [democratic] party, that if fully credited would lead us to expect some measure in agitation, dangerous, if not hostile to the republican [democratic] interest. The time is not yet come, though near at hand, when it will be prudent and proper to expose the insidious attempts of our enemies, and the wavering dispositions of our former friends. We hesitate in withdrawing our confidence from men, in whom we have been long accustomed to repose it, but the measures in agitation are suspicious; and we must look out for breakers.

Truth from a democrat!—The printer of the democratic paper at Hudson says, Mr. Jay's mission to England was approved by every good man. True. But how many democrats approved of it? N. E. Pal.
NEW-YORK, April 26.
The democrats, poor creatures! would willingly catch at any thing to keep themselves from sinking. They are making a great noise about the letter of the Spanish minister to Mr. Madison. But ask them this simple question. "Since Spain is known to have ceded Louisiana to France, what authority has Spain to interfere, or what dependence can be put in her assurance to restore the place of deposit?" And they are immediately dumfounded. It is a pity that the mighty politicians of the present ruling party had not learned human nature better than to treat the rest of the world as though they were children.
Extract of a letter from gentleman in Jefferson county, Virginia, dated April, 14 1803.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Richmond, to his friend in this Town, dated April, 11th.
"This day our election was held, and terminated very favorably to the good old cause of federal republicanism. For the state legislature, doctor John Adams, the federal candidate, had a handsome majority. For the city corporation, the federalists have fifteen out of twenty four. Our legislature at their last session passed a law directing the city to be laid off in three wards, giving to each ward an equal number of members in the city council. The object in the passage of this law was, to get a democratic majority. Five men, appointed by the governor and his council, for the purpose, laid off the wards, and true to the principle of equal representation, on the democratic plan, they gave one of the wards, which they knew to be perfectly federal, double the number of inhabitants contained in either of the other two, and thus thought themselves secure of the majority, but all would not do."

Extract of a letter, just received, dated Gibraltar March 9.
"Yesterday by accident, I saw part of a private letter from Mr. O'Brien, at Algiers, to Mr. Gavino, our Consul at this place. --As near as I can recollect, he expresses great fear that a rupture will shortly take place between the Dey of Algiers and the United States, owing partly to our government sending the annual tribute in cash, instead of naval stores, which he is in great want of. This circumstance, added to the great present he has lately received from the Court of Madrid, has made him a little testy. He has made a demand of 180,000 dollars from the Court of Great Britain, as an equivalent for 18 slaves, that made their escape from Oran, in an English vessel: this demand I do not think will be complied with. He has also broke his treaty with France, and made a demand upon that government. "Mr. O'Brien, after saying that he does not think himself safe at Algiers, and requesting Mr. Gavino to forward his letter under cover, the Swedish Consul, concludes with."
"On the 10th of February, a Spanish frigate arrived here with the new Spanish Consul, who brought a present to the Dey of 50,000 dollars, besides 120 fathoms, (making 120,000 dollars) to pay the arrears due from the Court of Madrid to the Regency. Upon the receipt of the money, the Dey ordered three cruizers to be ready for sea next week. There is no knowing the force of the Dey's squads."

On the 21st was launched from the ship-yard of Mr. D. Skillinger, the brig Mary Avery, 130 tons burthen. On the 23d failed the Brig Marietta, capt. Williams, and Schooner Indiana, capt. Mercil.

Extract of a letter from Bonaparte, at Teulon to a young American then at Bordeaux, but lately arrived in the United States.
"You soon depart for the Western and I for the eastern hemisphere. A new career of action is opened before me, and I hope to unite my name with new and great events, and with the unrivalled greatness of the republic; you go to unite yourself once more with a people among whom I behold at once the simple manners of the first ages of Rome, and the luxury of her decline; where I see the taste, the sensibility and science of Athens, with her factions, and the valour of Sparta without her discipline."
"As a citizen of the world, I would address your country in the following language; every man and every nation is ambitious, and ambition grows with the power, as the blaze of a vertical sun is the most fierce. Cherish therefore, a national strength, strengthen your political institutions, remember that armies and navies are of the same use in the world as the police in London, or Paris; and soldiers are not made like potters vessels in a minute, cultivate union or your empire will be but a colossus of gold fallen on the earth, broken in pieces and the prey of foreign or domestic Saracens. If you are wise your republic will be permanent: and ah! perhaps Washington will be hailed as the founder of a glorious and happy empire, when the name of Bonaparte shall be obscured by succeeding revolutions."
(This was written in 1797, about the time of Bonaparte's departure for Egypt, and may be considered as his ideas of the United States at the time, perhaps at this.

RALEIGH, April 25.
On Sunday the 17th inst. a duel was fought in Halifax county, Virginia, between Wm. Duffy, and Duncan Cameron, esqs. gentlemen of the bar in this state. Both were wounded at the first fire, the former in the right hip (where the ball still remains) the latter in the left breast, which put an end to the contest. Both wounds are declared not dangerous. Mr. Cameron returned to Hillsborough, immediately: Mr. Duffy is not yet able to travel. These gentlemen were attending the superior court at Hillsborough, which they left on Saturday; (major Robert Williams of this city, attending Mr. Duffy, and Dr. Webb of Hillsborough, Mr. Cameron) to settle a dispute which is known to have been some time in agitation, and which, it seems, could not be settled without an appeal to arms, though, as the public have been informed, it had already been referred to the arbitration of mutual friends. We are informed the gentleman had passed the state boundary line before Mr. Duffy sent the challenge.
AN ingenious author, in a late publication, has made the following remarks on the national debt: Speaking of it in the year 1795, when it amounted to 360,000,000. "It would require," said he, (to pay it off) 47,264 pounds weight in 101. bank notes, having 512 notes to one pound. This sum in cash if put into carts, each containing 100lbs. and having two horses to draw, allowing forty feet to each cart, would load 5000 carts, cover 37 miles in length, with a remainder of 116 carts on the 38th mile. Were it to be laid down in guineas in a line, it would extend above 4,300 miles in length. In 1794, the national debt was 250,000,000. If a man were to count 100 guineas per minute, for 12 hours a day, it would take him 1707 years, 283 days, 9 hours and 2 minutes. The value of this sum being 3,200,000,000 shillings, and the coinage standard being 62 shillings to the troy pound, its whole weight would be 8,370,993lbs. which would require 41,935 carts, each to have a ton weight to convey it to any place; or supposing a man could carry 100 pounds weight from London to York, it would require 833,670 men to perform it; and if all these men were to walk in a line at only one yard distance from each other, they would cover 456 miles and a half and 70 yards. The breadth of a shilling being one inch, if all these shillings were laid in a straight line close to one another's edge, the line they would cover would be 83,070 miles, which is 2070 more than double the circumference of the globe. [Lon. pap.]
* The national debt of England, at this time, is about double this sum.

20 DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber (living a few miles above Richmond) in October last, a NEGRO WOMAN named Scilla, about 5 feet, 4 or 5 inches high, of a dark complexion, aged about 35 years, has a scar on one side of her face, which was occasioned by a pair of shears when she was young; she has also a mole in her neck near the bottom of her nose darker than her complexion. Her clothes are not recollected, but I am told the stole some from a negro man soon after she went off, which consisted of a coat, waistcoat, and breeches, in which she disguised herself. I am told by some of her acquaintances, that she intended going to Mr. Edward Warren's plantation in Charles City County, where she has a brother and other relations, and from there to a place called Cowrick, (a few miles below New Kent court house) the property of William Chamberlain, esq. where I suppose she is now lurking. Whoever will deliver the above mentioned woman to me, in Henrico, shall receive the above reward, or half that sum by securing her in any public jail, so that I get her again.

WASHINGTON ADMINISTRATION.
WHEN the British commenced the capture of our ships, destined to France, in the year 1793, under a false and strained construction of the law of nations, what was the language of Washington on the occasion, and what was the conduct of his great national council, the assembled representatives of the people? He laid before them in plain terms the views and measures of the British, and without waiting for application from them, spread out to them the instructions to our minister at the British court, demanding redress. His language on the occasion was decisive: "There is (says he) a rank due to the United States among nations, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be prepared to repel it. If we desire to preserve peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war." Unlike the present executive, he was not enamoured with what Mr. Davis so sarcastically terms Randolph's resolutions, a scrap of sensibility about so big, (holding together both hands); he feared not to irritate those who feared not to injure us; but evinced on the occasion that "firmness which marked his character, and which elevated the American character under his administration." Congress, enlightened by his communications and penetrated by the wisdom and decision of their chief, killed not their time away in unmeaning and fulsome adulations. They routed to action, and left their measures to declare their confidence in their leader, they prepared for a war; laid an embargo, and exhibited to Britain the true character of the nation, by holding forth the arrows in the right hand, at the same time they extended the olive branch in the left. They did not meanly set them to counting with arithmetical exactness, and miserly economy, the expense of warlike preparations; nor did they in the spirit of cowardly stupidity, compute the difference between national honour, and a purchased peace, or offer the former in exchange for the certain pecuniary gain of the latter. Valuable, as it was well understood, our neutral position then was, and desirous as we all were of enjoying that portion of the carrying trade, which we had just begun to taste the sweets of; the councils of Washington never dreamt of accompanying our negotiator with a tribute of two millions to buy what we ought to demand, as the right and property of the nation.
What was the consequence of wisdom, and firmness like this? More was finally conceded us than could rationally have been expected, contrassing our existing weakness and poverty, with the wealth, strength and vigour of our opponent; our new fledged government, too, was just set afloat on the dubious sea of experiment; yet what did we lose by our firmness, or rather what did we gain? An immediate recall of the hostile order under which the injury was done, an engagement of indemnity for that already committed; a surrender of the posts of the west; these were the first fruits, but the last and best were, the maintenance of neutrality, and of the carrying trade; and above all, the preservation of our national honour, which alone was the basis on which our whole prosperity has rested to this day. Still how loud did the clamorous tongue of democracy ring against the salutary measures of the Washington administration! They are termed servile, mean, pusillanimous, and their advocates charged with receiving foreign gold! These are the men, the very identical men too, who now extol the late conduct of the Jeffersonian cabinet, and exult in its intemperate, bold, and dignified attitude!
JEFFERSON ADMINISTRATION
Spain, incapable of molesting our commerce, or invading our shores, de-
bars from a market, the produce of a half million of people, and two thirds of our most productive territory. The president supplicates the Spanish minister to supplicate the intendant of New Orleans to rescind the flagrantly wrong and injurious order. The humiliating embassy of the chevalier and Mr. Jefferson is treated with contempt, and told it may take its departure back to the United States again in an hour. Mr. Munroe, the disgraced minister, is then sent to Spain, with two millions of money as a tribute to a nation which received but a few months since upwards of fifteen from her mines; and all this, we suppose, to enable them to pay our western citizens for the produce which is now rotting on their hands! Such is democratic economy, and such the national honour of jacobins.
FROM THE YORK RECORDER.
The people of Virginia coming to their senses again; or, TRUE REPUBLICANISM triumphant over JACOBINISM and Falsehood.
By a gentleman just from Leesburg, Virginia, we have received the following information, which he says may be relied on:
At an election held in that place, on Monday the 11th inst. for a member of congress, and members of assembly, Mr. Lewis, the federal candidate for congress, had 517 votes, and Mr. Brent, the former democratic member, 170 votes. The federalist of assembly carried in the same manner. What is very remarkable is, that at the last election in the same place, the democrats carried nearly three to one. This is an astonishing instance of the people returning to TRUE REPUBLICANISM. It was said by the returning democrats, "We have tried it long enough; we have been led to believe that our situation would be bettered, but we find no such thing; we have been taught to believe lies, witness the tax laid upon brown sugar, coffee, salt, &c. and taken off refined sugar, &c. and TWO MILLIONS of dollars, put at the disposal of Jefferson, for which a democratic congress have not made him accountable!"
FROM THE LONDON COURIER.
FRENCH SUPERIORITY.
We have often wished to make some animadversions upon the superiority which France affects over every other nation in Europe. We do not remember that the French before the revolution were presumptuous enough to assert they had made greater progress in the arts and sciences than the English; or that their country had produced greater men than Newton, or Bacon, than Milton, or Locke. They were then content to divide the prize with us. The superiority, therefore, which they now affect, must have been obtained during the revolution. If we were called upon to select a period in which the human mind in France had not only made no progress, but had taken a retrograde step, we should certainly select the period of the French revolution. The press, indeed, has groaned with the number of publications; but are they not all gone long since "to the family vault of all the Capulets? In twenty years who will remember the names and authors of one of them? Has any great work been produced upon the law of nations? Has true philosophy made a single step in the last twelve years? Has one historical work, worthy of notice, been published? What progress has been made in classical literature? Has one poet of any eminence darted a ray through the gloom of this long night; Delille belongs to the old court. In chemistry, in astronomy, the French have made a rapid progress, but it would be unjust to consider that progress as the consequence of the revolution. Pounroy and Lalande were known and patronized and long before that period.
If we were to present a catalogue of the works that have been generated by
the revolution, what a long train of black and venomous productions would disgust us! Fortunate indeed it is, that the ignorance of the authors was antidote to the poison of their doctrines; that learning, and genius did not make the poison palatable; that the mischief was evanescent, and all these productions will be concealed for ever, under the thickest veil of oblivion.
If France found her claim to superiority upon the military fame she has acquired, we must acknowledge, that, of that species of fame, the revolution has brought her large accessions. Driven from the shrine of liberty, she found a refuge in the temple of military glory; but will her military fame justify this claim to superiority? Will history ratify that claim? Has she placed the Huns and the Goths, and the Vandals above the Roman name, because their military force triumphed at last over the ancient seat of liberty and of learning? Do we admire the military achievements of an Alexander, so much as we condemn the murder of a Clysus, the general that had fought under him? Who dwells now, but with horror, upon the exploit of Tamerian, a Charles the Xth, or a Zing's Khan? The impartial pen of history has long since torn the laurels from their brows, and stained them as the scourge of the human race. Their ambition was all personal, because in the pursuit of military glory they considered nothing sacred; neither the faith of treaties nor the independence of nations, nor the rights of people. The world was their victim, and man was their slave.
But if France has acquired great military fame, have we no naval glory to counterbalance it? Are the victories of the first of June, off Cape St. Vincent, of Camperdown, and of the Nile, less brilliant than those of the French in Italy, and in Germany? Has France one naval achievement to set off against them? And have we acquired no military renown? Was not the confidant himself checked and defeated at Acre by our British Courte de Lion, Sir Sidney Smith, and a handful of men? Was not his army; was not his veteran troops, that had beaten Austrians, Russians and Italians, were not they afterwards conquered and driven from Egypt by British soldiers! On what other ground then does this boasted superiority rest?
Have any useful discoveries, any inventions for the benefit of the human race, during the revolution, palliated or diminished the enormous guilt of that event? We recollect two---the Telegraph, certainly an ingenious invention, useful in times of war, but which can never eminently contribute to the benefit or happiness of mankind; the other invention is that of the Guillotine. Of both these discoveries it may be said, that they tend to accelerate the work of human destruction. They belong certainly to the revolution.---We might add two other discoveries, the undoubted legitimate offspring of the revolution, the Noyades and Fusillades, the Loire drownings, and the Lyons shootings. It is not a little to the honor of our own nation that we are able to meet these inventions with two of a very different description---with two that will cast a bright lustre on the British name to the latest ages---with two that will make the British nation blessed in whatever quarter of the globe, and under whatever form, prayer and praise are addressed to the divine being, with two that are alone, for the preservation of mankind. Need we name them? need we mention the discovery of the vaccine and of the life-boat.
We might pursue the subject further; but we purposely conclude our observations here. The account of discoveries by the two nations will be found to stand thus:
  FRANCE.  ENGLAND.    The Guillotine,  The Vaccine,    The Telegraph,  The Life-boat,    The Noyades,     The Fusillades.   
At what time shall we be favoured with a sight of the act passed last session, appropriating TWO MILLIONS of the people's money to secret services?
Or when shall we be informed for what purposes so great a sum is to be expended? Had any thing like this transpired under the former administrations, the corners of Dunn's mouth, would have met at the back of his head, so wide had he opened Sampson's slaying weapon, to bawl against such conduct, but now his lips are closed on the subject, and you can scarcely discern the seam of his mouth. Why does not Sammie Harrison Smith, the president's other little instrument, give us some of his candid remarks in so interesting an enquiry?
