Senate of the United States.
The following are the remarks delivered by Mr. BAYARD in the Senate on the resolution inserted in the Alexandria Advertiser of the 11th inst for investing a certain portion of the public lands in shares of the Chesapeake Canal.
MR. PRESIDENT,
I am apprehensive that the resolution now under consideration, not being viewed as a national object, will not be regarded with the attention it deserves. Having some acquaintance with the subject, and being strongly impressed with its importance, I deem it a duty to communicate to the senate the facts which I possess, and to unfold those views of the object proposed, which have presented themselves to my mind. I shall not feel it incumbent on me to employ any argument to prove the general utility of canals. If, however, there be but one opinion on this subject in old and populous countries, how much more benefit may we not expect from the improvement in a young country where labor and capital, which it is calculated to save, are so much more wanted.
The relative position of the Delaware and Chesapeake bays long since awakened the attention of a distinguished body, as to the practicability of opening a water communication between them.
In the year 1769, Dr. Franklin, Mr. Rittenhouse, Mr. Gilpin and Mr. Hollingsworth, were appointed a committee by the philosophical society of Philadelphia to examine the ground between the bays, and to ascertain the practicability and probable expence of opening a communication between their waters. Their report strongly recommended the project, as one susceptible of being accomplished, but as a work eventually promising an adequate profit. The want of capital, at that time, the disturbances then arising with Great Britain, the occurrence and consequences of the war diverted for a long time the public attention from this interesting object.
When, however, peace and a flourishing commerce had recruited the exhausted resources of the country, it again occupied the minds of those men, whose views, extending beyond themselves, are employed upon objects of general benefit and utility.
A rival interest had long been felt by Pennsylvania and Maryland as to the waters of the Susquehannah. The Susquehannah, and the streams falling into it, rendered navigable, it was evident that a great proportion of the produce of Pennsylvania and a part of that of the state of New York would pass down the river, and seek a market at Baltimore.
The legislature of Pennsylvania, having this impression, enacted penal laws against removing the obstructions to the navigation of the river. The expected advantage had rendered Maryland unwilling to consent to unite at their heads the waters of the two bays. This unworthy spirit, which opposed a partial interest to general benefit, yielded at length to enlarged and liberal views which comprehended the whole interest of the two states.
Pennsylvania agreed to allow the navigation of the Susquehannah to be opened, and Maryland to permit the heads of the bays to be united by a canal.
In the years 1799, 1801 and 1802, by legislative acts of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, a company was incorporated with a capital of 500,000 dollars for the purpose of cutting the canal. Subscriptions were obtained nearly to the amount of 400,000; the company was organized, and the work undertaken.
Engineers of ability were employed to survey and level the ground upon several routes, which different opinions had distinguished as preferable, and after a full knowledge on the subject was attained, the line of the canal was fixed by the board of directors from Welch point on the Elk to a point near Mendenhall's landing on the Christiana river. The extent of this route is 21 miles. A shorter distance might have united the waters of the two bays. But the safety of the harbors and navigation, and the boldness of the waters, secured by the route adopted, not only justified, but strongly recommended the extension of the line and the probable increase of expence. An opinion had existed that the bays might be united so as to allow the waters of the one to flow into the other. The scheme was considered; but it was found that it could not be executed, so as to answer the intended purpose, without an expence infinitely beyond the means of the company. A canal with locks was in consequence determined on. The depth of the canal was fixed at 7 1/2 feet, to afford navigation to the common vessels belonging to the bays. To supply the locks of the canal the sources of the Elk river were purchased and conveyed to the main by a smaller canal. This canal of supply proceeding from near the line of Pennsylvania, and furnishing a barge navigation, is nearly completed; the length of it is about five miles.
In making surveys, in the purchase of water rights and lands, of boats and materials in payment of laborers and incidental expences, the company has expended upwards of 100,000 dollars. The magnitude of the work, and its numerous details of expence were not distinctly perceived at the time it was commenced.
When it was found that one fourth of the capital of the company was exhausted, and the work which alone had been originally contemplated not commenced, a general despondency pervaded the subscribers to the project, and many despairing of the completion of the work, and considering the payment of their subscriptions as a direct sacrifice of their property, refused to pay their instalments, and have put the company to the expence, and subjected them to the delay of law suits. In consequence their operations have been paralyzed and the work suspended.
Under these circumstances, which I felt myself bound to unfold to the view of the senate, it is that the company now comes to ask the assistance and support of the general government.
This, sir, I acknowledge they have no right to expect, unless the aid we contribute belongs to the interest of the public. I shall, therefore, confine my enquiries to the advantages which different states and the union at large will derive from the scheme. Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, have an immediate interest in the canal. It opens an inland water communication between them all. The waters emptying into the Chesapeake penetrate immense tracts of country. The towns and landings on these waters have new markets opened to them, and the assistance of additional capitals.
An interior navigation of twenty-one miles, exempt from risk, saves a voyage of five hundred, exposed to the danger of enemies and the common perils of the sea. The cheapness, facility and safety of the intercourse must necessarily quicken the commerce between the northern and eastern and southern states. The manufactures of the north will be exchanged thro' this channel for the produce of the south. I will not trespass so far as to go through details upon this head. I will mention, however, one article connecting the interest of Virginia with the scheme. That state abounds with coal. The consumption of this article in many towns is already considerable, and must increase with the population and manufactures of the country. At present English coal is sold as cheap in Philadelphia as the coal of Virginia; the canal would bring the Virginia coal to market at a price which would soon exclude the English. The capital of Philadelphia enables that city to import cheaper than Baltimore; and the rate of its market attracts the custom of a great portion of the western country. Great quan-
tities of merchandize are carried from Philadelphia, passing Baltimore, to the west and south.
I shall be justified in saying that the chief market of the western country will be brought sixty or seventy miles nearer to them.
To them therefore this canal is an object of considerable interest.
In a national point of view the canal proposes the greatest advantages in the event of a war.
Without the aid of England a war with any principal power of Europe would suspend, if not destroy, our external navigation. To possess then interior navigation uniting distant parts with the centre of the country, would be an advantage of inestimable value. And I would beg the senate particularly to consider the important service the execution of the scheme would render in military operations, in facilitating the transportation of troops, baggage, stores and ordnance, to and from different parts of the country. The movements of an enemy possessing the sea, exposed to more hazards, could not be made from certain points with more celerity and ease than those of our own army. But, sir, however great the importance of this canal may be considered even by itself, yet the nation ought to view it, and its just consequence is only seen when regarded as a principal link in a great chain of interior navigation extending from the northern to the southern extremities of the country.
A canal is contemplated from the Delaware to the Rariton. This will open a communication between the Delaware, the North river, and the Sound. A communication is nearly effected between the Mohawk river and lake Ontario. A similar one is practicable between the Hudson and lake George, which would extend the navigation to Quebec. To the eastward the connection of Buzzard's and Boston bay carries the navigation to Boston. To the south a canal from Elizabeth river, through the Dismal Swamp to Pasquotank river, extends the navigation to Albemarle and Pamlico sounds; and a connection of the inlets, which is represented as practicable and likely to be undertaken, carries it to Georgia. Thus we see an unbroken chain of interior navigation can be formed, binding together all the Atlantic states, securing in time of war and facilitating in time of peace, the internal trade of the country.
This extensive work is not only practicable, but I consider there is no hazard in affirming that before the lapse of many years it will be accomplished. The extensive and powerful private and public interest which depend upon it will not suffer the object to be neglected. The waters of no country of the same extent offers so easy and complete a communication as those of the U. S.
I have not enumerated all the points of connexion. I have stated only those more immediately relating to the subject of our consideration.
There is reason to believe that the subject of internal navigation has not escaped the attention of the administration. The present moment is propitious for the undertaking. Your treasury is full and the redeemable part of the public debt cannot absorb the whole of your revenue. In the other house a committee has been appointed to devise a plan to dispose of the surplus. I have however to lament that doubts of the highest authority exist as to the constitutional right of this government to apply the public money to objects of this kind. Though the plan I mean to propose to the Senate is not exposed to this objection, yet I shall beg permission very briefly to consider it.
It is admitted that the constitution does not expressly give the power to cut canals, but we possess and are in the daily exercise of the power to provide for the protection and safety of commerce and the defence of the nation. It has never been contended that no power exists which has not been expressly delegated.
There is no express power given to erect a fort or magazine, though it is recognized in the delegation of exclusive legislative powers in certain cases. The power to erect light houses and piers, to survey and take the soundings of the coast, or to erect public buildings, is neither expressly given nor recognized in the constitution, but it is embraced by a liberal and just interpretation of the clause, in the constitution which legitimates all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution the powers expressly delegated. On a like principle the bank of the United States was incorporated. Having a power to provide for the protection of commerce and the defence of the nation, we may fairly infer a power to cut a canal, a mea-

sure unquestionably proper with a view to either object. But, sir, the plan I mean to propose is entirely clear of the constitutional objection. Without any such objection I should despair of obtaining a grant of money for such an object. While money cannot be had to fortify our seaports, I cannot expect it to dig canals. I am going to ask for land upon principles of reciprocal benefit to the company & the government. We have, sir, three hundred millions of acres, which I may say with certainty cannot be sold in a century. I will not inquire whether we have an estate in them for a hundred years. It is our policy to sell them as soon as possible. The resolution before us proposes to sell land to the company, and to receive payment in their stock.
There can be no question as to our right to sell the land for their stock. We have given it for the endowment of schools, for the making roads, and have made gratuitous grants, and surely we must have the right to sell it for canal stock.
Complete the canal and the stock cannot fail to be valuable. The United States may then convert it into money. I am warranted in saying that a grant to this company will not interfere with the sales of land made by the public. I believe that gentlemen can be found to purchase the land with a view to promote the object of the grant who would not purchase it for the public. It is the interest of the United States which I am proposing, more than that of the company. I am asking land, which you could not sell in a hundred years, and which it is not likely you will hold half that period of time. A few years might complete the canal, and give to the stock its value. You will then have anticipated the sale of so much land, and accomplished an object of great public and private utility.
I have reason to believe, if this government grant assistance to the company, the example will be followed by the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland. It now depends upon us, whether this great work shall languish and sink, or be revived and completed. More than a hundred thousand dollars have been expended; if the work be forsaken the money is lost. The project now abandoned, will never again be undertaken by individuals. They now propose to assist you with a large capital—reject the offer, and hereafter you will be forced to do the work at your sole expense. Never had we it in our power upon terms so cheap to accomplish an object of great public importance. You save a capital of more than one hundred thousand dollars; you unite by internal communication the waters of five states—you lay the foundation of a scheme of interior navigation connecting the extremities of the continent; and you support a spirit of improvement so essential to the prosperity of the country, by an accommodation which takes not a cent out of your treasury, and which promises at least a reciprocal benefit to the government.

PARIS, 24th Dec. 1806.
Sir, You will find a passage for the enclosed letter as early as possible. I have this moment received the written assurances of the Minister of Marine that the Decree of the 21st of Nov. last will in no respect disturb the existing regulations of commerce between France and the United States of America, as settled by the convention of the 30th of September. With much regard, &c. Signed JOHN ARMSTRONG. Wm. LEE, Esq.
Supreme Court of the U. States.
The court on Friday delivered their opinion on the motion for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Erick Bollman and Samuel Swartwout.
Chief justice Marshall delivered a long and elaborate opinion, to establish the right of the supreme court, in virtue of its appellate powers, to grant writs of habeas corpus, and concluded his remarks by declaring that the court granted the writ in the present instance.
Mr. justice Johnson dissented from the opinion of the court, and delivered his reasons of dissent; which were principally founded on the idea that the right to issue writs of habeas corpus was among the original and not appellate powers of courts, and that consequently in this case the supreme court did not possess authority to allow it.
Mr. Johnson observed that one of his brethren then absent concurred with him in opinion.
We understand that he referred to judge Chase.
The justices present, when this case was argued, were Messrs. Marshall, Washington, Chase, Johnson and Livingston. Mr. Cushing was, from indisposition, absent.
Messrs. Marshall, Washington and Livingston, therefore, concurred in the opinion; and Messrs. Chase and Johnson dissented from it.
Monday was then fixed for the return of the writ. [Tbid.]
In our paper of yesterday, the following, being the 5th article of the Decree of the French government, declaring England in a state of blockade, was omitted:
"5. The commerce of English merchandise is prohibited. All merchandise, the produce or manufacture of England or her colonies, is declared to be good prize."
Brig Seaman, arrived at New-York, left at Algesiras, ship Ann, of this port, from Falmouth for Leghorn—had been carried in, liberated and to sail the first wind.
General John Smith has been re-elected senator of the United States for New-York, for the next term.
The Paris papers contain heavy denunciations against Great-Britain; and hint that she will soon be left alone in the contest. We shall therefore not be surprised soon to hear that France has concluded a treaty with Russia.

Getty, of the ship Edwin, from Alicante, arrived at Boston, informs, that he was boarded off Malaga, by the British ship of war Thunderer, and was informed of the loss of the Athenian, captain Beresford, of 64 guns, on the Esquinquerra, near Cape Bon, in the Mediterranean, in October last; only 142 men and officers saved, 345 drowned; the two cutters full of men foundered along-side the ship, by the chains of the masts all coming by the board, soon after the ship struck, the launch floated from the booms, and the principal part in her was saved; but the captain, unwilling to leave the ship as long as there was a man alive on board, refused to go in the launch, and perished with the rest on board.
Our papers from Connecticut mention great damage sustained in different parts of the state, in consequence of the heavy rain experienced on the 31st ult. The ground being frozen very hard and the rain uncommonly heavy, all the water which fell was precipitated into the different runs, rivulets and rivers, and in consequence of this they were swollen beyond example. The whole of the wooden work of the new and handsome bridge across the Housatonic at Stratford, was carried off bodily, the whole of the wooden work of the lengthy toll-bridge from New-Haven to East-Haven also shared the same fate, together with the upper bridges on Mill and Dragon Rivers. Several bridges on the Hartford and New-Haven turnpike are also destroyed. Two mills in the vicinity of New-Haven were torn to pieces by the torrents, and several others considerably damaged. The damage sustained in the country by the destruction of mills and bridges is represented to be very great, surpassing any former example.
In the People's Friend of the 6th instant, I perceive the weather on the 26th ult. at Cambridge, Massachusetts, is mentioned as perhaps the coldest day that ever was known in America—I have thought proper to transcribe an extract from a record of the state of the weather kept in the Museum at Albany, in the year 1739, with observations, made by a gentleman of distinction, then a member of the State Legislature from Suffolk county. "Feb. 2d, 5 A. M. Therm. 22, below (0) — 6. A. M. 24 below (0)—weather fair and clear—smoke from the chimnies thick and dark: rising slowly and with difficulty; over
spreading the city and tardily diffusing itself in the atmosphere: Water of the river soaking at the air holes and watering places, like boiling springs, not unlike to the vapory appearance of the bay of New York in the winter 1783, when the mercury stood at 4 below nought. Horses standing in warm and comfortable stables, looking white from the ice incrusting the hair on their withers, shoulders and sides."

We understand that the grand jury of the city, Tuesday last presented a bill of indictment against WILLIAM DUANE and MICHAEL LEIB, for a CONSPIRACY, by threats and promises, to overawe and unlawfully to influence the official conduct of the governor, in the pending inquiry into the legality of the late election of a sheriff for the city and county of Philadelphia. As the matter is thus put in the course of legal investigation, it would be improper to say more, than that we are informed that the bill is founded in substance upon the facts stated in the communication recently made by general Barker. F. J. [Philadelphia paper.]
General Wilkinson expects to receive the thanks of his country, for his late proceedings at New Orleans although his "doings" have been somewhat arbitrary, he hopes that they will be overlooked, because of the danger that impended over the country. At such a time he thinks that recourse must be had to arbitrary measures, and that the suspicions or pretended suspicions of a military officer, ought to be deemed a sufficient justification for an illegal and unconstitutional arrest of any man.
If every man who has been suspected of being in league with Burr, and to design a separation of the union, ought to be arrested by a military officer, and sent to the seat of government, where might we now expect to find our beloved general! [Freed. Town Hist.]
BUENOS AYRES. —The report of the capture of Buenos Ayres reached London 9th November. Upon this report a London paper remarked, "It comes from a very suspicious channel. The gentlemen whom we call captains, and are accustomed to believe as such—the masters of merchantmen—are not exactly entitled to that credit we give them. It is an established point of wagery, we believe, among these gentry, to deceive the people, and the more atrocious the falsehood the more complete the jest. If something like a public ducking stool, a royal cold bath, were erected on the Thames for these American reporters, it might doubtless correct their taste for wit, and teach them, that nations had their feelings as well as individuals." It then gives instances of abominable stories reported from time to time by American captains; among them that the West India islands had been entirely plundered and subdued by the French. We have given this extract with two views: To show the little credit the reports (whether true or false) of American captains receive in England; and with a hope they will exercise more judgment and caution. No official account of the recapture of Buenos Ayres had been received at London 5th December. Perhaps it is best Pharoah should be blind! They will soon be convinced to their sorrow, that American captains has as much regard to character as Englishmen!
