Richmond, Nov. 10th, 1809.
P. S. As much inconvenience and unnecessary expense results from the present mode of collecting the contributions of the members ; which annually diverts a considerable part of those contributions from the uses for which they were intended—burdens individuals with heavy costs, and greatly delays the collections, to the injury of the credit of the society, the general meeting at their last annual session, applied to the legislature, to authorise a more certain, expeditious, and less expensive mode of collection. Their application was rejected, under an impression, that the members of the society might not approve this act of their proxies.
Having been informed, that a similar proposition will be submitted to the consideration of the next general meeting, and believing some amendment in that respect necessary to the prosperity of the institution, I have thought it proper to give this public notice thereof.

RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloons, mixed with blue slack 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.

DOCUMENTS, WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT, OF THE UNITED STATES.
[CONTINUED.]
Mr. Smith to Mr. Jackson.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Nov. 1, 1809.
SIR, Your letter of the 23d ult. which was duly received, would have been sooner acknowledged, had I not by sickness been rendered for several days utterly unfit for business.
Although the delay and the apparent reluctance in specifying the grounds of the disavowal of the arrangement with respect to the orders in council, do not correspond with the course of proceeding deemed most becoming the occasion; yet as the explanation has at length been thus made, it only remains, as to that part of the disavowal arrangement, to regret that such considerations should have been allowed to outweigh the solid objections to the disavowal; it being understood at the same time that his Britannic majesty perseveres in requiring as indispensable condition on the part of the United States, an entire relinquishment of the right to trade with enemies' colonies, and also permission to the British navy to aid in executing a law of Congress; pretensions, which cannot but render abortive all proposals whatever upon this subject whether made by the United States or by his Britannic majesty.
Whilst you have deemed it proper to offer an explanation with respect to the disavowal of one part of the arrangement, I must remind you that there is not to be found in your letter any like specification of the reasons for the disavowal, nor particularly is it shown that the instructions were violated, as to the other part, viz. the case of the Chesapeake; the case in which in an especial manner an explanation was required, and in which only you professed to have authority to make to this government any overtures.
For the first time it is now disclosed that the subjects, arranged with this government by your predecessor, are held not to be within the authority of a minister plenipotentiary, and that, not having had a "full power" distinct from that authority, his transactions on those subjects might of right be disavowed by his government." This disclosure, so contrary to every antecedent supposition and just inference, gives a new aspect to this business. If the authority of your predecessor did not embrace the subjects in question, so as to bind his government, it necessarily follows, that the only credentials yet presented by you being the same with those presented by him, give you no authority to bind it, and that the exhibition of a "full power" for that purpose, such as you doubtless are furnished with, is become an indispensable preliminary to further negotiation; or, to speak more strictly, was required in the first instance by the view of the matter now disclosed by you. Negotiation without this preliminary would not only be a departure from the principle of equality which is the essential basis of it, but would moreover be a disregard of the provisions and of the self-respect enjoined on the attention of the United States by the circumstances which have hitherto taken place.
I need scarcely add, that in the full power alluded to, as a preliminary to negotiation, is not intended to be included either the whole extent or any part of your instructions for the exercise of it. These of course, as you have justly remarked, remain subject to your own discretion.
I abstain, sir, from making any particular animadversions on several irrelevant and improper allusions in your letter, not at all comporting with the professed disposition to adjust in an amicable manner the differences unhappily subsisting between the two countries. But it would be improper to conclude the few observations to which I purposely limit myself, without adverting to your repetition of a language implying a knowledge on the part of this government that the instructions of your predecessor did not authorise the arrangement, formed by him. After the explicit and preremptory asseveration that this government had no such knowledge, and that with such a
knowledge no such arrangement would have been entered into, the view, which you have again presented of the subject, makes it my duty to apprise you, that such insinuations are inadmissible in the intercourse of a foreign minister with a government that understands what it owes to itself.
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)
R. SMITH.
The hon. F. J. Jackson, &c. &c.
Mr. Jackson to Mr. Smith.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 1809.
SIR,
When I forwarded to you court your letter of the 19th ult. and my answer which I returned to it, I imagined, and I may add, I hoped, that the retrospective correspondence, into which you thought it necessary to enter with me had been closed. You will, no doubt, recollect with what reluctance I acquiesced in your intimation on this head; not as I believe has been seen, from any difficulty in maintaining the justice of the cause which is entrusted to me, but because I was and still am of opinion, that this sort of correspondence is not calculated to remove differences and soothe irritations of the most unfortunate tendency. As however, I had no choice but to renounce, for the present, the hope of effectuating this desirable object, or to pursue it in the manner prescribed in your letter of the 9th ult. so I am now unwillingly compelled to enter upon the consideration of another letter from you under date of the 1st inst. which but too strongly confirms the opinion I before entertained.
Since, sir, it has been judged expedient to confine to written form this important and interesting discussion; since that mode has been declared by you to be indispensable, I will first appeal to the written communications which have passed between us; and I do this with the greater satisfaction, because I consider it to be the chief cause of the present remarkable state of things, that in speaking of engagements contracted or supposed to have been contracted between the two countries, understandings or implied engagements have been allowed to take place of written compacts, and have been considered, in some instances, as having the same validity. It is furthermore necessary to place in the most unequivocal light a topic, which I observe to be constantly and prominently restated in your letters, notwithstanding the repeated, but, as it should seem, fruitless endeavors used in mine, to clear it from the slightest shadow of obscurity.
You say "that it is understood that his Britannic majesty perseveres in requiring as indispensable conditions on the part of the United States, an entire relinquishment of the right to trade with the enemies' colonies, and also a permission to the British navy to aid in executing a law of Congress."
This same statement is contained in your letter of the 9th instant, and represented as the substance of what had fallen from me in our previous conferences. In my answer to that letter, I took the liberty of shewing that such a supposition was erroneous, and I have looked in vain to my letter of the 23d, to find in it any suggestion of a similar tenor. I believe, therefore, that by reference to my two letters you will find that the statement now again brought forward is contained in neither of them, that it made no part of my previous conversations with you, and that I have in no way given room to suppose, that I ever made any such statement at all.
That before the orders in council can be revoked, their object must be obtained in some other way, is unquestionably true; but you may be assured, sir, that there is no wish whatever entertained in England, that the British navy should be employed in executing a law of Congress—If the proposal that was made upon that subject, and made, as you now know, because it was believed to be acceptable here, had been adopted, and had become a matter of compact between the two countries, and thereby a part, not of the law of Congress, but of the public law binding upon both parties, and which both would have had a common interest in seeing duly executed; in that case the agency of the British navy would not have had the invidious aspect, which is now attempted to be given to it. At present there is no engagement between the two countries, no laws of Congress which bear a reference to any such engagement, and consequently it cannot be wished to take any share whatever in the execution of those laws.
In regard to the colonial trade I need only observe, that all or nearly all the enemies' colonies are blockaded by British squadrons, it cannot therefore be so much an object of solicitude, as you imagine, to obtain the relinquishment of the trade of any country
to those colonies. On the contrary you will find it stated in my letter of the 11th ultimo, to be a "matter of indifference whether the order in council" (on this subject) "be continued, or an arrangement by mutual consent be substituted in its room."
When I informed you that the agreement concluded here in April last, had been framed in deviation from the instructions given for the occasion, my explanation was intended to apply to both parts of that agreement. That nothing required by the most scrupulous accuracy, may be wanting, I now add, that the deviation consisted in not recording in the official document signed here, the abrogation of the orders in council of the 2d July, 1807, as well as the two reserves specified in the paper of memoranda enclosed in my official letter to you of the 27th ultimo.
There is another motive for the disavowal of this part of the arrangement, considered to be strong and so self-evident upon the very face of the transaction, that I am not commanded to do more than indicate it in the manner I have already done. By this forbearance his majesty conceives that he is giving an additional pledge of his sincere disposition to maintain a good understanding with the United States.
I am somewhat at a loss to give a distinct reply to that part of your letter which relates to Mr. Erskine's authority to conclude with you in virtue of his letter of credence, because I do not very distinctly understand the tendency of it. I never before heard it doubted that a full power was requisite to enable a minister to conclude a treaty, or that a mere general letter of credence was insufficient for that purpose.
If it were otherwise, and a government were in all cases to be bound by the act, however unauthorised, of an accredited minister, there would be no safety in the appointment of such a minister, and ratifications would be useless. No full power was given in the present case because it was not a treaty, that was in contemplation.
In his dispatch of the 23d of January, Mr. Secretary Canning distinctly says to Mr. Erskine—"Upon receiving through you on the part of the American government a distinct and official recognition of the three abovementioned conditions, his majesty will lose no time in sending to America a minister fully empowered to consign them to a formal and regular treaty."
This minister would, of course, have been provided with a full power; but Mr. Erskine was to be guided by his instructions, and had the agreement concluded here been conformable to them, it would without doubt have been ratified by his majesty. I must beg your very particular attention to the circumstance that his majesty's ratification has been withheld, not because the agreement was concluded without a full power, but because it was altogether irreconcilable to the instructions on which it was professedly founded. The question of the full power was introduced by yourself to give weight, by a quotation from a highly respected author, to your complaint of the disavowal in answer to which I observed that the question did not apply, as Mr. Erskine had no full power. Never did I imagine, or any where attempt to rest the right of disavowal upon that circumstance—indubitably his agreement would, nevertheless, have been ratified had not the instructions, which in this case took the place of a full power, been violated.
I am surprised at the transition by which it appears to you that this part of the subject is connected with the authority empowering me to negotiate with you. It will not I dare say, have escaped your recollection that I informed you at a very early period of our communications, that in addition to the usual credential letter, his majesty had been pleased to invest me with a full power under the great seal of his kingdom, for the express purpose of concluding a treaty or convention. I well remember your testifying your satisfaction at the circumstance; and I have only now to add that I am ready, whenever it suits your convenience, to exchange my full power against that with which you shall be provided, for the progress of our negotiation.
I am concerned, sir, to be obliged a second time to appeal to those principles of public law under the sanction and protection of which I was sent to this country.—Where there is not freedom of communication in the form substituted for the more usual one of verbal discussion, there can be little useful intercourse between ministers; and one, at least, of the epithets which you have thought proper to apply to my last letter is such as necessarily abridges that freedom. That any thing therein contained may be irrelevant to the subject it is of course competent in you to endeavor to shew and as far as you succeed in so doing, in so far will my argument lose of its validity—but as to the propriety of my allu-
sions, you must allow to me to acknowledge only the decision of my own sovereign, whose commands I obey; and to whom alone I can consider myself responsible. Beyond this it suffices that I do not deviate from the respect due to the government to which I am accredited.
You will find that in my correspondence with you, I have carefully avoided drawing conclusions that did not necessarily follow from the premises advanced by me, and at least of all should I think of uttering an insinuation, where I was unable to substantiate a fact. To facts, such as I have become acquainted with them, I have scrupulously adhered, and in so doing I must continue, whenever the good faith of his majesty's government is called in question, to vindicate its honor and its dignity in the manner that appears to me best calculated for that purpose.
I have the honor to be, with great respect,
Sir, your most obed't, Humble servant,
F. J. JACKSON.
The Hon. R. Smith, &c. &c. &c.
Mr. Smith to Mr. Jackson.
Department of State, Nov. 8, 1809.
SIR,
In my letter of the 19th ult. I stated to you that the declaration in your letter of the 11th, that the despatch "from Mr. Canning to Mr. Erskine of the 23d January, was the only despatch by which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine, for the conclusion of an arrangement on the matter to which it related, was then for the first time made to this government."—And it was added, that if that despatch had been communicated at the time of the arrangement, or if it had been known that the propositions contained in it were the only ones on which he was authorised to make an arrangement, the arrangement would not have been made.
In my letter of the 1st instant, adverting to the repetition in your letter of the 23d ult. of a language implying a knowledge in this government that the instructions of your predecessor did not authorise the arrangement formed by him, an intimation was distinctly given to you, that after the explicit and peremptory asseveration that this government had not any such knowledge, and that with such a knowledge, such an arrangement would not have been made, no such insinuation could be admitted by this government.
Finding that in your reply of the 4th instant, you have used a language which cannot be understood as retreating and even aggravating the same gross insinuation, it only remains, in order to preclude opportunities which are thus abused, to inform you that no further communications will be received from you, and that the necessity of this determination will, without delay be made known to your government. In the mean time a ready attention will be given to any communications affecting the interest of the two nations, through any other channel that may be substituted.
I have the honor to be, &c.
Signed R. SMITH.
The hon. Francis James Jackson, &c. &c. &c.
Mr. Oakeley, his majesty's secretary of legation, is desired by Mr. Jackson to state to the secretary of state that, as Mr. Jackson has been already once most grossly insulted by the inhabitants of the town of Hampton in the unprovoked language held by them to several officers bearing the king's uniform, when those officers were themselves violently assaulted and put in imminent danger; he conceives it to be indispensable to the safety of himself, of the gentlemen attached to his mission, and of his family, during the remainder of their stay in the United States, to be provided with special passports or safeguards from the American government. This is the more necessary since some of the newspapers of the United States are daily using a language whose only tendency can be to excite the people to commit violence upon Mr. Jackson's person. In consequence he requests that the undermentioned names may be inserted in the document to be furnished him.
Francis James Jackson, Mrs. Jackson, Their three Children, Charles Oakley, Esq. His Majesty's Secretary of Legation. Mr. George Ottey, Private Secretary.

[Received at the Department of State on 11th November, 1809.]
Mr. OAKLEY is desired by Mr. Jackson to say to the Secretary of State:
That Mr. Jackson has seen with much regret that facts, which it has been his duty to state in his official correspondence, have been deemed by the American go- vernment to afford a sufficient motive for breaking off an important negotiation and for putting an end to all communication whatever with the minister charged by his sovereign with that negotiation so interest- ing to both nations, and on one point of which an answer has not even been return- ed to an official and written overture.
One of the facts alluded to has been ad- mitted by the secretary of state: himself in his letter of the 19th Oct. viz. that the three conditions forming the substance of Mr. Erskine's original instruction were submit- ted to him by that gentleman. The other, viz. that that instruction is the only one in which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an ar- rangement on the matter to which it relat- ed, is known to Mr. Jackson by the instruc- tions which he himself has received.
In stating these facts and in adhering to them, as his duty imperiously enjoined him to do, Mr. Jackson could not imagine that offence would be taken at it by the Ameri- can government, as most certainly none could be intended on his part; but since he has been informed by the secretary of state that no farther communications will be re- ceived from him, he conceives that he has no alternative that is consistent with what is due to the king's dignity, but to withdraw altogether from the seat of the American government, and await the arrival of his majesty's commands upon the unlooked-for turn which has thus been given to his affairs in this country.
Mr. Jackson means to make New-York the place of his residence.

We are much gratified at the result of the charter election in the city of New York. That city has long been a strong hold of de- mocracy and Jeffersonianism; indeed, it was to the people of that city that Jefferson was indebted for his exaltation. There Aaron Burr first laid the foundation of that intrigue which raised the would-be philo- sopher into the seat of the Great Washing- ton. To be sure Burr performed more than he intended, and Jefferson knowing to whom he owed his power, took care to destroy the credit that he might not be called on for payment.
It is a very consolatory consideration to mankind to see a city so enveloped in the mists of democracy rise in its might, and at one terrible exertion shake off the films and fogs of darkness which have so long en- clouded it.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, December 6.
[Taken for the Alexandria Gazette.]
Mr. M c Kim called up his resolution laid on the table yesterday, prohibiting Ameri- can vessels trading under foreign licence.— The resolution was referred to the commit- tee of commerce and manufactures, to re- port by bill or otherwise.
A petition from sundry inhabitants of the Mississippi territory on the East side of Pearl river, was presented, praying for a division of that territory. The same peti- tion was presented at the last session, and laid on the table. It was now referred to a select committee.
A petition of the directors of the Potomac company, which was presented at the last session, was referred to the committee on the district of Columbia.
On motion of Mr. Bassett, the commit- tee of ways and means were discharged from the further consideration of the Mes- sage and Documents received from the Pre- sident yesterday; and the said Message and Documents were referred to the com- mittee on the naval establishment of the U. States.
Several petitions for post-roads were pre- sented and referred.
The house went into committee of the whole on the bill "For extending the right of suffrage in the Indiana Territory and for other purposes." The bill was reported to the house without amendment, and the re- port agreed to.
Mr. Nelson offered a resolution to ap- point a committee to enquire into the ex- pediency of making provision by law for the relief of the disabled and superannuat- ed officers and soldiers of the late revolu- tionary army and of the present army of the United States.
Mr. Whitman presented a petition from several inhabitants of Portland, Maine, praying for a uniform system of Bankrupt- cy. Considerable debate took place on the motion for a reference of this petition. It was moved to refer it to a select committee. Lost. Mr. Newton moved to refer it to a committee of the whole house. Lost.
Mr. Whitman offered a resolution to re- quest the President of the U. S. to lay be- fore this house such information as he may have in his possession, and which may be proper to communicate, respecting the cap- ture, seizure and condemnation of vessels and merchandise of the U.

IN SENATE.
DECEMBER 5.
Mr. GILES from the committee appointed on the first inst. reported in part the follow- ing resolution, which was read the first time and passed to the second reading:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Re- presentatives assembled, That the expressions contained in the official letter of Francis James Jackson, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty near the U. States, dated the 23d of Oct. 1809, and address- ed to Mr. Smith, Secretary of State, convey- ing the idea, that the Executive government of the U. States had a knowledge that the arrangement lately made by Mr. Erskine, his predecessor, on behalf of his govern- ment, with the government of the U. S. was entered into without competent powers on the part of Mr. Erskine for that pur- pose, were highly indecorous and insolent; that the repetition of the same intimation in his official letter dated the 4th of Novem- ber, 1809, after he was apprized by the as- severation of the secretary of state that the executive government had no such knowledge, and that if it had possessed such knowledge such arrangement would not have been entered into on the part of the U. S. and after also being officially appre- hended that such intimation was inadmissible; was still more insolent and affronting; and that in refusing to receive any further com- munications from him in consequence of these outrageous and premeditated insults, the executive government has manifested a
just regard to its own dignity and honor as well as the character and interest of the American people.
That the letter signed Francis James Jackson, headed "Circular" dated the 13th of November, 1809, and published and circulated through the country, is a still more direct and aggravated insult and affront to the American people and their government, as it is evidently an insidious attempt to excite their resentment and dis- trusts against their own government by ap- pealing to them, through false or fallacious disguises, against some of its acts; and to excite resentments and divisions amongst the people themselves which can only be dishonorable to their own characters and ruinous to their own interests; and the Congress of the United States do hereby solemnly pledge themselves to the Ameri- can people and to the world to stand by and support the executive government in its re- fusal to receive any further communica- tions from the said Francis James Jack- son, & to call into action the whole force of the nation if it should become necessary in consequence of the conduct of the execu- tive government in this respect, to repel such insults and to assert and maintain the rights, the honor, and the interests of the United States.
Mr. Giles, from the same committee al- so reported the following bill, which was read and passed to a second reading.
A bill to prevent the abuse of the privi- leges and immunities enjoyed by foreign ministers within the U. States.
Be it enacted, &c. That if any foreign ambassador, minister, or other person, en- titled to enjoy within the U. S. the privi- leges and immunities of a foreign minister, shall have committed, or may hereafter commit, any such act as by the laws and u- sages of nations would justify the Presi- dent of the United States in ordering such offending ambassador, minister or other persons as aforesaid of the District of Col. or out of the territories of the U. S.; or in sending him home to his sovereign, or to some place or territory within his sove- reign's jurisdiction; in every such case where the President of the United States shall deem it proper and expedient to exer- cise his constitutional authority, in either of these respects, he shall be, and is hereby au- thorised and empowered to cause a warrant to be issued and signed by the Secretary of State, directed to any civil officer of the U. States, authorised to serve process, or any military officer under the authority of the United States, commanding him to provide for and enforce the departure of such am- bassador, minister or other person offending as aforesaid, taking due precautions to a- void improper or unnecessary violence in executing such warrant. And all officers civil and military, under the authority of the United States are hereby required and enjoined to be obedient to such warrant.— And in case any officer, civil or military, to whom such warrant shall be directed, shall fail, refuse, or unreasonably delay to exe- cute the same, every officer so offending shall be deemed guilty of high misdemea- nor, and shall be punished by fine and im- prisonment before any court of the United States having cognizance of the offence.— Provided, that the fine shall not exceed dollars, nor the imprisonment be for a longer time than years.
Mr. Giles gave notice that he should call for the consideration of this subject on Thursday next.

Pinkerton's Collection of Voyages and Travels, Forming a complete History of the Origin and Progress of Discovery by Sea and Land, from the most authentic Sources.
THE first number of this valuable Work is just come to hand and is ready for inspection at the store of the subscriber, in King-street, and with Mr. Triplett, at the coffee-house.
Fully aware of the impositions that have been practised upon the public by strangers soliciting subscriptions from distant places; the Editors invite their examination of a Work perhaps the most useful, entertaining as well as extensive in its kind that has ever been undertaken in any country. And they flatter themselves that the American will by no means shrink from a comparison with the London edition, tho' offered at six dollars per Vol. less.
This number may be considered as a fair specimen of the execution of the work, and will be left a short time for examination, before the 2d number is put to press. After this the subscription will be raised to $2 25 each number; and but a few more copies printed than are sufficient to supply the subscribers, that the early patrons of this valuable Work may have a decided advantage—subsequent applications may therefore come too late.
It is also the intention of the Editors to annex to the last number a complete list of the names of the subscribers as the patrons and encouragers of useful knowledge, the arts and literature of the United States.
Subscriptions are received by the subscriber, and no where else in the district.

It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres, lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky runs, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William.

First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the largest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
