RAN AWAY from the subscriber in December last, two negro men by the names of HARRY and DICK; Harry is about 5 feet 6 inches high, of a tawny complexion, 22 years of age; Dick 6 feet high, slim and very black, with large white teeth, wide apart, projecting out of his mouth, 18 years of age. When they went away, they had on home manufactured breeches and old grey jackets. I have been informed they are now dressed in blue jackets with sailor's trowsers, and are making their way to Maryland with a free pass. They have relations at Reuben Beale's, Esq. of Richmond county, and Mr. John Turberville's quarter in Westmoreland, where it is probable they may lurk until they can procure a passage across the Potomac. Whoever will deliver them to me, or secure them so that I get them again, shall receive the above reward, or the proportion for either.

Fielding Lewis Esq. of Charles City will be good enough to show the land; plots of it may be seen in the hands of Mr. Lewis, and Doctor Adams of Richmond, and terms known from T. G. Peachy of Williamsburg. Adjoining the above tract is one of the most beautiful seats on James River, which has attached to it about 1000 acres; this may be had also, if it should suit a purchaser to take the whole; the improvements on this estate are, a dwelling house with 4 rooms on a floor, a kitchen and laundry, a large barn and stable, an ice house, a smoke house, a large garden well inclosed, an orchard and many choice fruit trees. The purchaser may have, from 7 to 15 years credit, paying a moderate interest. T. G. PEACHY. (1awtf.) April 4.

It would fatigue our readers, and fill up a space which might be dedicated to more useful subjects, were we to re-publish the whole of the speeches that were delivered on Mr. Gregg's resolutions. Those that we have already published, are sufficient to show the spirit of the arguments employed. As to the rest which follow, we shall select such only as are most interesting on account of the ingenuity which they display, or because they were delivered by the Representatives from Virginia. Between the speech of Mr. McCreery presented in our last and the following speech of Mr. Clark, we have omitted the speeches of Mr. Elliot from Vermont, Mr. D. R. Williams from S. Carolina and Mr. Bidwell of Massachusetts.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, March 10. DEBATE on Mr. GREGG's Resolution. [CONTINUED.]
MR. CLARK. A sense of duty, prevailing over personal inclination, compels me, Mr. Chairman, to offer a few remarks on the subject under consideration. The measure now under discussion appears to me to involve the best interests of our country, the prosperity, the happiness and the liberties of America tremble before it. In the hands of the resolution are contained the issues of life and death, and it would be criminal in me not to throw in my mite to rescue our common country from the impending danger. The course which I shall take will differ in some degree from that pursued by those who have spoken in opposition to the resolution. I shall not attempt to draw any marked discrimination between the varying interests of the country, or invidious distinctions between the agricultural and commercial interests. I think they are so essentially united, that one cannot fall to the ground without tumbling the other head-long into ruins. I shall consider the subject relatively to its general policy, and whether, on the principles of that general policy or constitutional compact, as has been contended by gentlemen, we are bound to adopt the resolution. If I shall succeed in convincing a single gentleman now in favor of the resolution, that we are not bound by the constitution, and that it will be impolitic to adopt it, I shall consider this amongst the happiest events of my life. The great objects of our federal engagement in forming the compact under which we now live, were to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and provide for the common defence and general welfare of society. Under this constitution gentlemen call upon us, under the pretext of promoting the general welfare, to adopt a resolution which manifestly goes to the promotion of a minor interest. This compact, in providing for the general welfare, must mean that of the whole, or at any rate, of the larger portion of the community; it was never designed to promote a subordinate interest at the sacrifice of the general prosperity. Are we then bound by the constitutional compact to adopt this resolution? I think not. Thus much as to the constitutionality of the question. I must consider this resolution as a war measure, and viewing the policy and present situation of G. Britain, against which it is pointed, I have no hesitation to say, that in my opinion, it will produce instantaneous war. A maritime war, for such an one the will wage, will not add one item to her present expenses; neither will it embarrass her measures on the continent? It can have no such effect. She has eight hundred ships on the ocean, flushed with victory and conquest, and a part of her navy is at this moment triumphantly sailing almost in sight of your shores, ready at any moment to seize, should that course appear expedient to her, all our vessels navigating the ocean. It cannot affect her continental operations. The war she will wage will be altogether maritime—Her navy cannot be essential against her continental enemies in Europe. Already have their fleets been annihilated. The victories off Trafalgar and in the West-Indies, have cleared the ocean of almost every sail, and there remains no employment for her navy but to depreciate your commerce; and she will do it, you may rely upon it. Those are but indifferently acquainted with G. Britain and the genius of the first minister, who suppose all the power in their hands will not be made use of. Gentlemen tell you this is not contemplated as a permanent system of commercial arrangement, but a temporary expedient, which by its pressure is to bring our rival to a sense of duty, and make her do us justice. But this temporary measure will have on Britain all the effect of war. Declare war to-morrow, and it can only affect her trade. Can you believe that she will, with all her advantages, remain quiet? 'Tis not her character; she will not do it. I should think contemptuously of her if she should. Will she suffer you to take war measures and not retaliate? Will she be more afraid of you with your four thousand troops, dispersed over the whole western country, and your thirteen armed vessels rotting in the Eastern Branch, than of that power whose conquering arm has extended the limits of his sway beyond former comparison, & whose ambition is bounded only by the habitable world.
What was the conduct of that government about the year 1801, when an armed neutrality was formed by a coalition of the Northern powers? This measure was comparatively pacific; but did not the gallant Nelson enforce an abandonment of this measure with cannon at Copenhagen? Will she not do so to you? It is her interest, and will she not be governed by it? She has no other rule of action. Are we not then correct in considering this a war measure? And ought not gentlemen to abandon the vain illusion they have conceived? It is however said, that she will not be willing to increase the number of her enemies. But is she not well apprised, from the genius of the American people, that nothing is more desired by them than peace; and that the moment she does you justice, you will be bound to seize it; and that the may therefore calculate on making peace when she pleases. Will she not, therefore, use all her power to bring us first to terms, and then if she fails, come to terms herself whenever she pleases. So much with regard to this as a war mea-
sure. For the irresistible conclusion in my mind is, that it will produce war. But suppose it should not produce war; will it not produce consequences equally fatal? Will it not destroy your commerce? Our exports will not be purchased, as the merchants will not fit out their vessels unless they can get a market for them. For this what are we to gain? The carrying trade. I beg leave here to make some remarks on the position of the gentleman from Massachusetts and to examine the principle assumed by the British government; by which it will be seen the whole carrying trade is not affected by it. What is the ground which the prize courts of Britain take? That a neutral has no right to deliver a belligerent from the pressure of his enemies hostilities by trading with his colonies in time of war, in a way not authorized in time of peace. This principle, so far as it relates to our government, is not so unfair as gentlemen seem to imagine. Let us apply it to Britain and France. As to Great Britain she is contending for her liberties and her very existence, and although I shall not contend that a nation at war has not the right to regulate her commerce with neutral neighbors in any way allowed by the law of nations; yet the enemy has certainly the right to prevent every means of relief, to produce, if possible, oppression and poverty, in order to procure peace. Can you expect that Britain will permit you to supply France and Holland with commerce, and on such terms as enables them to go the cheapest into the market and convert all their merchant ships into armed vessels to privateer upon her trade, and while France is so relaxed in her system, have we a right to expect any indulgence from Britain? War we know always brings some evils to a neutral country. Can we therefore do materially blame Great Britain? Then as to the consequences of this trade. It certainly does not bring more than 170,000 dollars into our treasury, while it draws from the purchase of our domestic productions a large part of the capital that would be otherwise devoted to it. When I say 170,000 dollars, I mean to apply the remark particularly to that trade which has been the object of suppression by the prize courts; for I agree that the revenue arising from the whole carrying trade is stated to amount to 800,000 dollars, but no man will say that the duties arising from this species of trade is under-estimated. Is the whole value of this trade so important as to justify a sacrifice of all our interests? I will ask gentlemen, whether it is correct or proper that the great interests of the country should be given up to a trade only continued in time of war, and in which but a few men are interested? Let it not here be understood that I am the enemy of commerce. No, I am its friend. Without it, agriculture would be nothing, and there would be no market for the sale of our surplus produce. We must have trade—but let it be on principles of permanency, and not on such as emerge from a state of war. Britain has never affected our direct trade, and my vote shall be always ready to protect it. I agree that a circuitous trade is beneficial to the country, just as money brought into it is beneficial. But let us take the subject upon calculation. I think it a fair subject of calculation, a question of profit and loss, and see whether it ought on that ground to be protected. If it is found the play is not worth the candle, gentlemen will certainly not with its preservation. Is it right to protect, at the hazard of every sacrifice, this trade of so precarious a profit, and which cannot continue longer than the period of war. Our exports to G. B. and her dependencies amount upon an average of three years, to 20 553,000 dollars; of this amount the two articles of cotton and tobacco, the exclusive produce of the states south of the Potomac, constitute more than one half. This will be entirely lost, or at least the most considerable part, for I have no expectation of finding a market for any thing like this amount, in any other country. Cut up at one stroke, under the pretence of temporary expediency, the cultivation of these two articles, and you prostrate the expectation, independence, and industry of thousands—then will be applied to your own industrious and virtuous citizens, what the mover of the resolution supposed it would be to the manufacturers of England, a dagger to their vitals. Let us not for God's sake ruin our country under the delusive expectation of injuring our adversaries. Another and very current view may be taken of this subject; it is acknowledged that there are comparatively but few persons immediately interested in this trade, and although to them a lucrative one, yet it must end upon the cessation of hostilities in Europe. It must be unjust, that the great interest of the agriculturalist should be sacrificed to this trade, or even pledged for its protection and security. I never will agree that one class or profession of people shall underwrite and ensure the success of another class, and this too without any premium. This is precisely the case in this instance—the trader gains all under the protecting arm of the farmer, and the loss falls on the farmer, if it should be attended with any.
Let us view this subject in another light. It is contended, that if British manufactures are prohibited, that our commerce will fill go on, that our merchants will find other markets, and that the security of the revenue will not be affected. But I beg gentlemen seriously to consider the situation of Europe. I do believe that our demands cannot be supplied but from Britain, they cannot be supplied elsewhere? Because from 1783, the British manufactures introduced into this country have regularly increased; notwithstanding in France labor is cheaper than in Britain. Not because an English coat was better than a French one. The fact is, the French manufactures cannot be got on the same reasonable terms as the English. What has been the effect on the price of Liverpool cottons since France has menaced the invasion of England? They have increased in price, because her manufacturers have been taken from their shops and converted into soldiers. What is the situation of Europe? Consulted to her centre, will Germany afford us the articles we want? Do we not know that her manufactures have always been limited and confined to particular articles. Where then is a supply to be had? Where is a return to be got for our domestic productions, without which our loss will be incalculable? What will its effect be on our treasury? We know that the British manufactures yield about five millions of revenue, which go to the regular reduction of the public debt, which to this degree must be suspended if they are prohibited. Will gentlemen say, because I hold this language that I am the apologist of British measures? No. Were I to give way to my feelings on this subject, instead of being
governed by my judgment, there is no length to which I would not go. My colleague has told us that G. B. is fighting our battles and those of the world. I believe so. But not from any good will to us or the world—in fighting their own battles, they fight ours. Let us then suffer them to go on, not out of affection to their government which is tyrannical, and which, if it had the power, would lord it over this country as it did when we were colonies; not from attachment to the English government or its measures, but from a regard to our own country to which this measure would be ruinous. If the articles we want can be got from any other country, let us obtain them from them; but do not let us carry our enmity so far to Britain as to ruin ourselves. But we are told that this is only one cause of complaint against the British government; that another cause of complaint is the improvement of our seamen. It is a cause, a most serious cause of complaint. On this subject I have more feelings than on the other. I commiserate the deplorable situation of those men and their friends, and with more ardency it was in my power to relieve them from it. But there is some apology even here to be made for the British government. The inhabitants of the two nations are so like each other, and so nearly the same in their language and habits, that it is extremely difficult to distinguish one from the other. And I will ask you if we have not more subjects of Britain in our service, than they have American citizens in theirs? Let us also recollect their principle, once a subject, always a subject. When, therefore, we give their subjects the privileges of a citizen by naturalizing them, is it not a counter-action of British policy; and is it not some apology for their conduct in preferring this description of men? I recollect of no instance of their refusing persons allowed by them to be American citizens, whose claim was fully substantiated. Let me again repeat it, that in a state of war neutral powers must suffer some injury; when all nature is in conflict, we cannot expect to escape injury. I do not therefore think this ground of complaint a cause of war, for where is the difference between forcibly taking away the citizens of our country, and enticing those of another by the allurements of superior advantage. Every society has the right, and exercises that right, to ordain municipal regulations for its government; and every member of the society is bound by them. By the immemorial usage of England, no subject is allowed the right of expatriation, and they hold the privilege of impressing their sailors wherever found in time of war, and claim their allegiance, whatever may be their condition. We ought not to secede them. I do not mean this as a justification, but it is undoubtedly a mitigation of the affront. But what is proposed? To go to war in order to obtain the release of a few captive citizens that have been taken on the water; let them get out of the way by turning cultivators of your waste land, in which they can acquire a virtuous and honorable competency. But, sir, what will be the sympathy of the gentleman, who shed tears of grief over your impressed seamen, when they shall view the scenes of devastation produced by war; all your seaport towns in ashes, people of every age and condition mourning over their ruined mansions and fallen fortunes, countries ravaged by a merciless foe, or millions of your citizens slain in fighting your battles; will your carrying merchants then step forth, and fight for you? No indeed, they will not, they are too precious to be made food for gun powder, they will not be shot at all day for seventeen cents, they will all disappear—their rule is wherever money can be made, there is my country. Guard, then, I beseech you, Mr. Chairman, against that fatal infatuation which hath destroyed the universe.

FROM COBBETT'S WEEKLY REGISTER, of February 8. NEW MINISTRY. (CONCLUDED.)
In our colony, what circumstance that presents a difficulty does not exist? The West India colonies have complaints, and just complaints too, of long standing. No satisfactory explanation has yet taken place. The wound has been healed over and has broken out afresh, time after time; and, from the new ministry will, in this respect, be expected much more than it is immediately in their power to do. The intercourse with the United States is a subject of great importance; yet without some measure, some general measure, with regard to it, it is not easy to perceive how the present imports can be continued upon West India produce. In consequence of restraints and imposts, both opening at once, and with a degree of force so far beyond the power of resistance, the islands have been reduced to a state almost of depopulation. The effect has been greater than that of the funding system at home. The real property has, in a great proportion, passed from the hands of the former possessors into those of merchants and factors and guarantee here. The fund-raisers in London hold the plantations by mortgage, and the nominal planters are, for the future, a mere part, little better than their bondsmen. In this unnatural, this odious state of things, with a country inhabited by men, who once were the sole possessors, but who are now little more than mere renters of the land, are there not every danger to be apprehended; and yet, where is the remedy?—Where is, not the power to enforce, but where is the man to propose it? In the East Indies, is the prospect more comforting? There, on the contrary, the difficulties and dangers lie so thickly sown, that it bewilders one but to look at them. The famous bill, by the means of which the Pitts and Dundas scaled the walls of power, has, as Mr. Burke predicted it would, produced consequences which the thoughtless people will now smart under. To talk of the oppression, the insulting, and the plundering of the Princes of India cannot be expected to have much effect among a people, who made not a single remonstrance upon the subject of the capture of the Spanish frigates, and the subsequent appropriation of their treasure, without a previous declaration of war; but, as this same people may possibly be alive to the demands of money from themselves, for the purpose of carrying on war against the princes of Hindostan, information may be given them upon the subject of those demands; and, if this information be not given, in the clearest and full manner, by the new ministry, it will be greatly wanting both to the country and themselves. The people hear of great fortunes in the East; they hear of plunder and they see the plunderers come and go from their homes; but, they never appear to perceive, that any part of this plunder is, after all, drawn from their own estates, or their labor. They seem to think, that there are great quantities

of goods and of gold and precious stones in India; and the only feeling which the acquirers of these ex-

GREAT-BRITAIN - had not yet concluded a peace with France, though it was rumoured that she had sent forward with some propositions for a negotiation. An article from Amsterdam of February 11, particularly states that there was a "rumour (there) that a flag of truce had been sent from England to France...
PRUSSIA - the second strongest power in the west of Europe; that power, which had lately in its hands the fate of the third coalition, and which might have put a stop to the arms of France; is, however, the great nation, to which the late intelligence from Europe principally relates.
It is not certain, perhaps not probable, that our negotiation with Spain for the purchase of the Floridas, will be successful. But it is probable, that if our differences should terminate in a war, France will step forth as the ally of Spain.
Some of the English papers go on to detail the very course which will carry Bonaparte into a war with Prussia. They say that "The city of Frankfort has been severely amerced; may not the next imposition be laid upon Cassel or Dresden? It is impossible that Bonaparte can forget the affront offered by the elector of Hesse to a division of his army, to which a passage was, in the first instance, refused...
infatuation of Aguerre." But these formidable preparations will be directed against Hesse and Saxony, in the first instance, and Prussia ultimately. She may attempt to retire from the storm, but Bonaparte will most probably drive her into submission or war.
MR. GALLATIN'S LETTER - to Congress of the 15th inst. has excited no less curiosity than interest; for whilst it denies that any "application had been made to draw money from the treasury for the purchase of the Floridas before an appropriation made by law," it admits that there were certain "circumstances, which may have produced an impression that such an application had been made."
As for ourselves, we have as yet seen nothing which furnishes a key to Mr. Gallatin's letter; nothing which justifies the predictions of the friends or the enemies of the administration, unless the following statement from the "Alexandria Exposition" be entitled to this character.
We are requested to state that John Horace Upshaw is a candidate at the next election for the congressional district of Caroline, Essex, King and Queen, and King William.

Extract of a letter from New-Orleans, dated March 16, to a merchant in Philadelphia. "In our last we mentioned that the navigation of the Mobile had been closed by the Spaniards against the Americans; since then the mail from Fort Stoddart has arrived, and the rider reports that Governor Folck was at Mobile with 300 men repairing the fortifications, and that he (the rider) was stopped and carried before the governor, who informed him, that he was determined not to permit the U. States' post to pass through his catholic majesty's dominions by land or water; we therefore apprehend, that the Natchez mail will be stopped at Baton Rouge, and if so it must cross the river below the Iberville, and again from the mouth of the Red river to Pinckneyville; this will necessarily occasion delay and risk of misfortune.
BREST FLEET. - One of our last London papers observes, that "A letter from an officer of Cadiz says, that they received information of fourteen sail having escaped from Brest, and that the squadron under Lord Collingwood were looking out for them." It is highly probable that all the fourteen have been captured. The five taken and destroyed by Admiral Duckworth off St. Domingo, it may be supposed, were a detachment of this fleet; and the remaining nine, we think, have also been captured, as captain Vose, from London, informs, that on the 7th of March, in lat. 42, long. 12, he spoke a British frigate, then out two days from Plymouth, by whom he was assured that the British had captured a fleet from Brest, consisting of nine sail of the line; and the captain of the frigate received this account from the cutter which had been dispatched with the intelligence, and which arrived at Plymouth as he was taking his departure.

EXTRACTS
From the Documents respecting the Application of HAMET CARAMALLI, Ex-Baihaw of Tripoli.
From WILLIAM EATON, to SAMUEL BARRON, Esq. Commander in Chief of the U. S. forces in the Mediterranean. (Continued.)
DERNE, June 3rd, 1805. The enemies feigned another attack to-day, by sending a detachment on the back of the town, which was repelled with loss. Their object seemed to aim at ascertaining the disposition of the inhabitants of the place.
This morning a spy, a religious chief, whom I had employed to watch the enemy's motions, and who last night slept in their camp, reports that a courier arrived yesterday, eleven days from Tripoli, with dispatches from the reigning Baihaw to his commander in chief in this vicinity, stating his intention of concluding a peace with the U. S.
Eleven o'clock A. M. this morning came in two deserters from the enemy's camp, both Levant Turks, Ibrahim and Mahomet, a choux and a cherif, corresponding with the rank of aide-camp and ensign, who confirm the information before stated; and add that the bays cannot prevail on their troops to attack this place, under our batteries and guns of the shipping; but that they calculate on making the city the moment we evacuate our posts.
The germ of this army had been five months in the field, had moved through the greatest extent of the kingdom; and, with every exertion to augment its strength, could only bring this small number to the field. Why? Want of cash on the part of Joseph Baihaw, and want of attachment on the part of his subjects.
(To be continued.) By Authority. LAW OF THE UNITED STATES. AN ACT To regulate and fix the compensation of the officers of the Senate and House of Representatives.
Day before yesterday, Hodge Ifneen Bey, the second in command of the enemy's army here, deserted with a few attendants and camels, took off the military chest, and entered the desert for Upper Egypt.
Yesterday morning the enemy having received fresh reinforcements of Arabs, appeared in great numbers on the heights which overlook the town, and moved along the side of the mountain for the space of two or three miles, apparently in search of some avenue to descend without being exposed to our cannon; but seemed irresolute; an accident brought on an engagement.
The declivity of the mountain is a steep and uneven ledge of rock, with only one pass where cavalry can move down, and this about two miles and a half from the town. The plain below, bordering on the sea about one mile in depth, is calcareous rock and red earth very much broken; in many places of which the brig's bras 12's could take effect, in others impeded by ridges near the shore; about half way between the town and the pass of the mountain, the Baihaw had posted a few cavalry to serve as videts.
ward easterly which we hoped to receive here, we might now have been at Cape Menfur, and in fifteen days more at Tripoli. Head winds have detained the Hornet, and a gale last night took the Argus to sea; as soon as she returns capt. Evans will be dispatched to head quarters.
I have communicated, some days since, such parts of the contents of your letter of the 19th ult. as concern him to Hamet Baihaw. He answers, that, even with supplies, it would be fruitless for him to attempt to prosecute the war with his brother, after you shall have withdrawn your squadron from the coast; but without supplies he must be left in a most forlorn situation, for he can command no resources here, nor can he place any faith in provisions which may be stipulated with his brother in his favor, except guaranteed by the United States.
Meantime I have the honor to be, with great respect and consideration, Sir, Your most obt servt, WILLIAM EATON. A list of commanders and forces of Joseph Baihaw, defeated before Derne on the 10th June: Hassen Bey, commander in chief. Hodge Ifneen Bey, commander of cavalry, defeated June 7th, and succeeded by the late governor of Derne. Muhammed Bey of Bengazi, commander of infantry. Muapha Bey of Derne.

FOR SALE, Three valuable PLANTATIONS, viz: ONE containing 1200 acres of land, situated in the county of King & Queen, within five miles of Dunkirk, of this tract 600 acres are cleared, well enclosed and in high cultivation; it is well adapted to the culture of tobacco, wheat and corn, and for several years past, has been as productive as any in the country; the other 600, has ever been remarked for the quantity and excellence of its timber, for which a great price can be obtained on the spot. This farm is well furnished with every thing necessary for the accommodation of an overseer and negroes, and for securing a crop, it is level and well watered; from 200 to 300 bushels of wheat, may be seeded the next fall, to the greatest advantage—My manager, Mr. Meadows, will ride over this land, with any one willing to purchase. Also, a tract of 1000 acres in Essex, within ten miles of Tappahannock, in a very wealthy neighbourhood; most of this land, is peculiarly adapted to the growth of corn, wheat and grass. It is in good cultivation, and well enclosed. There is on this farm from 75 to 100 acres of meadow, which is as rich as any in this state. My overseer, Mr. Hill, will view this land, and Major A. Ritchie, is fully authorized to dispose of it. Also offer for sale, MOUNT CLEMENT, the seat on which I reside; it is believed that there are few tracts in the state, uniting more advantages, or that can boast of so much beauty: it is situated in a mile and a half of Tappahannock, & affords as fine a view of the Rappahannock, as any on the river. Mount Clement is walked on one side, for more than a mile, with a broad navigable creek, from which an abundance of fish may be taken at every season; it contains by old survey 550 acres. 3-4ths of this plantation is very rich low grounds, and in high cultivation. Several hundred dollars worth of wood may be sold annually from it, without injury to the estate. There is on this estate, a brick dwelling house, in good repair, 62 feet long, and 24 wide, and all necessary out-houses lately repaired. I shall forbear a minute description, as I presume any one willing to purchase, will view the premises. I also wish to sell 200 or 300 acres near the Boling-Green. The terms of sale will be one fourth in three months, the balance in two years, the ultimate payment to be secured by deed of trust. The negroes on the above plantations, with valuable teams of every kind, with fine flocks of cattle, hogs & sheep, with a variety of the best utensils, the purchasers may have by paying a fair valuation, on reasonable credit.
