CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, Feb. 19.
Debate on the resolution offered by Mr. Broom to make further provision by law to secure the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus to persons in custody under or by colour of the authority of the U. States.
(Mr. Randolph's Speech concluded.)
A gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Bidwell) takes the case I put of a member of this house being arrested, and says an action of damages will lie for redress. Suppose the member is murdered, will a man gravely tell me of an action for damages? The habeas corpus is the only writ of the constitution; and is a violation of this magna charta of our liberties to be put on the footing of a common trespass? It needed no ghost to tell us that an action of damages would lie for an illegal arrest, but are there any penalties to enforce a writ of habeas corpus? We want a certain and adequate remedy.
The gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. B.) is unfortunate in saying that I am an advocate for the punishment of death in all infractions of the writ of habeas corpus. or as he calls it, for small and trivial offences; I know not if I have the words, I have the idea. If I am wrong, the gentleman can correct me. [Here Mr. B. explained, when Mr. R. proceeded.] He understood me right, so far as he goes, but he does not go far enough. I would punish with death a commander in chief who should dare refuse obedience to a writ of habeas corpus, but would I punish the man who is merely an instrument in his hands? you might as well break the musket employed in the service.
Will any man say the commander in chief who sets himself up in array against the constitution is not worthy of death? Whoever commands an army and sets at defiance the constitution, is a traitor. If the facts stated to have taken place at New Orleans are true, Wilkinson is the traitor. Who are traitors? Burr and co. and why? because they attempt to overturn the constitution and the laws. The commander in chief does the same.
Suppose he puts down Burr to put up somebody else; what then? Suppose it is done to gain a momentary eclat. If the commander in chief, after having gone all lengths in treason, now turns against his confederates and endeavors to make his zeal atone for the want of fidelity, he is guilty of double treason; he has violated not only his duty to his country, but even that fidelity which is known among knaves.
The gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. B.) says this resolution will make the people callous to violations of their rights. Does the gentleman from Massachusetts, or do the house imagine that if we step forward in a case where the habeas corpus has been flagrantly violated, the people will consider the crime which has been perpetrated a pecadillo, and unworthy of notice? No. It was the bound duty of that and every other friend of the present administration to have come forward and said to the mover of this resolution we are sorry to say that you have got the start, we will go all lengths with you. There would then soon have been an end to the business.
A gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Quincy) has forcibly stated the distinction between the right to the writ of habeas corpus, and the penalties to enforce it. The writ is intended to prevent false imprisonment, and not to punish it. He however omitted one thing.
In England the writ is guarded with the sanction of death, and shall it be said that we are less attached to the liberty of the citizen than the people of England? If a judge should there refuse a writ of habeas corpus, he would be impeached and decoliated. If the habeas corpus had existed in Stafford's time, and he had been charged with violating the right, what crime was there alleged against him, which would have been considered as more completely proving a settled design to subvert the liberties of the subject. This writ is guarded by attainder, and nothing would now sooner produce an act for this purpose than the violation of the writ, if the people of England possess the spirit of former times.
Mr. Elliot (Ver.) A gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. G. W. Campbell) whom I do not at this moment observe in his place, but will presume that he is attending his duty as a member of the house, and to attract whose attention I will "lift up
my voice," in both of his speeches of yesterday, certainly entitled the house to some additional, at least to some explanatory remarks of mine; and although the house would be very willing to relinquish its right, I cannot, as an individual member, consent to part with my portion of the claim.
In the first place that gentleman seemed disposed to announce to the house that I was not so well versed in the law of treason as himself. He said that in treason all are principals, and of course there can be no accessaries. It is very true. The general principle is correct. It has long been settled as a principle of English law, that acts, which, in felony, would make one an accessory before the fact in treason, as well as in trespass, render him a principal offender. But there is a humane a liberal principle in the English law upon this subject, which those exclusive republicans who are ready to justify general Wilkinson, by considering the persons accused by him guilty of the actual commission of the crime of treason, either do not know, or are not disposed to adopt. The general principle is subject to this qualification, except in treason touching the death of the king, &c. In every other kind of treason, it is admitted that offences of an accessorial nature may exist, and that they are of a derivative character; some act must be done, to which the offender must be accessory, and from which his guilt is derived; some original and principal traitor may exist, to whom another may be considered, in the first instance, as subservient. Although in the event of the prosecution such an offender may be considered as a principal, yet, in his progress towards conviction, which is the case now existing in our own country, he ought, from a principle of natural justice, to be considered merely as in the nature of an accessory, before or after the fact. Otherwise, if the person accused as an auxiliary, were tried before the person who actually committed the act, the very great absurdity and injustice might result, that the accessorial agent might be convicted, and he who did the act, and from whose guilt alone that of the actual accessory could flow, might be acquitted. This principle is to be found in Foster, Hale & Hawkins, who may be considered as the classical writers upon criminal jurisprudence in G. Britain.
Of the insinuation that I was ignorant of the law, I should, however, have had but little reason to complain. I do not recollect that any one adopted the expression, "champion of the constitution" but myself and the gentleman spoke of those who announce themselves to the public, as the champions of the constitution and the cause of liberty, merely for the purpose of making a great noise, and of displaying "pictures," calculated to attract the attention, and delude the imagination of the people. I will not presume, although I could wish the gentleman were present to give a serious explanation, that he intended to impeach my motives. But something must be said on the subject of pictures and painting. From the extreme difficulty with which the gentleman managed his metaphor, it was obvious to us all that he was no great proficient in the art. And yet he is unquestionably the very best painter of the particular school to which he happens to belong. There is more animation in his figures, there is more nerve in his attitude, there is more glow in his features, there is more grace even in his coloring, than are to be found in the best productions of his associate artists. We have lately heard and read much of what are called, in the newspaper cant of the day, a republican majority, and a republican minority; of republican majority men, and republican minority men. The gentleman, probably, wishes to be considered as the "champion" and leader of the majority, composed of profound statesmen and logicians, while the minority consists of mere painters and declamatory orators. Be it so. Yet I would not ensue, at the rate of ten guineas per cent. which we are told is the price of ensurance of American property in London, since the publication of the famous imperial decree, the final triumph of the school of logicians over that of painters.
But I did not arrogate to myself the distinction of a "champion of the constitution" in the proper sense of the term. It must be within the recollection of all, that I said I was the champion of the constitution only as every member of the house was bound by oath to be; its defender against usurpation and unauthorised military power.

[Translated for the Philadelphia Gazette.]
ADDRESS OF HENRY CHRISTOPHE, President and Generalissimo of the land and sea forces of the state of Hayti to the ar- my and people.
Light has just burst out amongst us, and thanks to a beneficent constitution, the plots and conspiracies of which you were going to be the victims have miscarried: At last a wise collection of laws suitable to our manners, climate, usages, has, if I may be allowed the expression, come out of the chaos, to fix once more the destinies of Hayti.
In vain had my solicitude endeavored for a long time, to offer you this precious gift; in vain had I convoked the commons to give you a constitution; my cares, far from being crowned with the wished for success, had been but an additional food to factions, to try to mislead public opinion, and frame a constitution calculated for their interests and those of their proselytes, at the expence of the liberty of the people and of sound reason.
All of you have been witnesses, O my countrymen! of the purity of my designs, and sincerity of my intentions; but have not the villains turned to a wicked use this same sincerity, by fomenting rebellion and kindling a civil war. I was not the one that could be intimidated by their machinations, or misled a single moment on the welfare of our country, I have never ceased day or night to meditate on the safety of the country. What have I left undone to obtain this end? What have I not done to baffle the secret plots and conspiracies of factions?
I have been always amidst you, and you may certify if ever ambition has influenced my conduct, or sullied my honor. Placed this day by the wishes of my countrymen and brethren of arms, on the summit of power, I have yielded to their desires, and accepted that heavy and honorable burthen, because they wished to trust it into my hands, and that I might once more serve our country. Happy will I be, if my efforts be crowned with success, and enable me to secure the happiness of my countrymen!
But to obtain that end, my efforts alone are not sufficient; the observation of the laws and of this constitution is also necessary. Your rights are strictly preserved, and every citizen will find therein securities for his person, property and that of his family.
The fatal consequences of the wars we have sustained, and still more the bad example of the French, had thrown religion into a forlorn situation; morals were despised, and a profligate youth gave way, without remorse, to all the licentiousness of their age; public education was disgraced, and left to mercenary teachers. It has been necessary to restore religion to its dignity, to give support to morals, bring it into repute, inculcate into the minds of young people the sacred principles of good manners and of religion, and convince the people that, without religion and morals, no human society can exist.
Tribunals are going also to insure your interests; equity and justice will hereafter preside over the decisions dictated by its ministers. It is, above all, by propriety and uprightness, that it is reserved by the people of Hayti to make themselves be known. Essentially a trading people by their situation and the nature of their commodities, their equity as well as the objects of their commerce must attract to their shores the merchants of all nations of the earth.
As commerce is for us the source of all kinds of riches, it is therefore essential to grant to foreign merchants who come to seek their fortune in our ports, the same protection which is enjoyed by our own countrymen, and offer them that hospitality which those necessary men merit to receive.
To maintain that commerce, and give it a great activity, perseverance and efforts of agriculture ought to increase. Placed under the finest climate of the earth, profusely favored with the most precious gifts of nature, the cultivators have not to struggle against the severe weather of frozen climates, nor to inure themselves to the rigors and inclemency of seasons. An easy work enriches them, without any privations, puts them upon the level of manufacturing nations. Therefore hasten, industrious cultivators, to fill your stores with all the produce of your fruitful soil; spread out to the eyes of the European merchants, all that can tempt their covetousness, and you will see your commerce flourishing beyond your hopes.
After having given support to religion, refined morals, re-established good man-

and encouraged agriculture and commerce, great works will yet remain to be done. We ought not to neglect the exercise of arms. The enemy watches our motions and observes our steps. The affection of our friends is still without any warranty! Treaties ought to bind the latter, and our armies be ready to fight the former.
Abandoned to ourselves we have in the midst of ourselves our own resources; they are among you, soldiers, who are ready to shed generously your blood, rather than yield to a proud enemy your liberty, the reward of your courage! they are amidst you, inhabitants and industrious cultivators from whom the state expects its riches. Your union, your submission to laws ought to be the strongest bond of your independence.
The policy of foreign governments has not yet been openly manifested towards us. Whatever it be, without daring them, let us put ourselves in a situation to have nothing to dread from such as would bear any hostile intention. Let those who will be disposed to keep political relations, or enjoy the advantages of our commerce, find an equitable reciprocity. Let us offer to others nothing but death and battles.
Whilst we meditate upon these ideas let us never forget that arms alone are the warranty of a free people. If culture requires a part of our countrymen, we ought to consider that we are all soldiers, and that warlike nations only have been able to preserve their liberty. Let us call to our remembrance, that a handful of Greeks devoted to their country, confounded the rage of a million of barbarians who came to wrest from them their liberty!
Let us swear to imitate their example, to observe and cause our holy constitution to be observed, and to perish rather than to suffer that any violation should be made upon it.
Done at the Head-Quarters Cape François, Feb. 17, 1807, 4th year of the Independence.
HENRY CHRISTOPHE. By the President, The Secretary of State ROUAINEZ, Jun.
From the Frankfort (Ken.) Palladium.
Mr. HUNTER, Having seen in the Western world of the 12th instant, certain queries extracted from the New York Herald, addressed to me under the signature of "Interrogator" I am induced through your paper to give the following answer: I do not think it incumbent on any man assailed in a news paper to take notice of every impertinent scribbler—yet it is a duty which all men owe to their country and to their own characters to correct false statements, that the facts which do exist may be impartially examined.
Interrogator states, "The papers inform us, that Thomas Power the agent of the Spanish Baron de Carondelet, addressed a letter to you, and certain of your co-patriots on the 19th of July 1796, containing propositions for dividing the western states from the union, &c.
This statement is false. In my deposition delivered to the committee of the legislature of Kentucky, in the case of Mr. Sebastian, which contains the communication it is dated, 'Louisville, July 19 1797.' By attending to the date of the extract from the Kentucky Herald, giving the deposition of Thomas Power, relative to the searching of his boat by Lieutenant Steele, it is improbable that Power was in the state of Kentucky on the 19th July 1796, because he states the transaction to have taken place as he was ascending the Ohio to Pittsburg on the 8th day of August, below the Red Banks, which I believe is about two hundred miles below Louisville, and below the inhabited part of the state at that time.

MONDAY, MARCH 30.
COL. BURR.
We have the satisfaction of announcing to the public, that this conspirator is, probably, at this time in the city of Richmond—He arrived at the Columbian Inn, in this town, about five o'clock on Wednesday evening last, attended by a guard of eight men. A short time after his arrival an express also arrived from the office of the secretary of state at Washington city, with instructions for taking him to Richmond, in consequence of which, himself and guard left town in the stage on the following morning. We understand that he was taken on the 19th ultimo about 15 miles from Fort Stoddard, on his way to the Spanish territories. It is said, that at Chester, in S. Carolina, he for a short time eluded the vigilance of his guard, and endeavored to excite the compassion and interference of the citizens, but without effect. It is presumed he will receive his trial in Richmond.
[Fredericksburg paper.]
A London paper of February 9th says,— "Preparations have been made according to report, by a resolution on the part of government, to undertake an expedition which shall redeem their late disaster in the recapture of Buenos Ayres." "It is moreover added," says a ministerial paper, that a proposal of somewhat of a delicate nature has been made to the Spanish government through a neutral medium, for the recovery of General Beresford and his army; but that, through a premature discovery of it by the French resident, it has entirely failed. We shall be more full upon this important subject when we have more satisfactorily ascertained the authority upon which it rests. In the mean time we are induced to give it the more credit, as we know that, in the present hostility against the Spanish government, the ministry of this country act rather from necessity, than an absolute hostile mind. They know the situation of Spain, and regard it with a generous compassion, and a wise moderation."
Extract of a letter from Havanna, dated February 25
"An additional duty has been laid on imports of 1 1-2 per cent. and the same on exports, with an augmentation in the valuation of sugars as some say, of two reals the arroba, and also of two reals addition to the militia duty. It will now stand thus, 24 per cent. on imports, and 10 1-2 per cent. on exports.—This arrangement takes effect this day, and on all vessels not entered at the custom-house and those which were not cleared out previous to this morning. The order only arrived from Spain yesterday, but it is dated two years ago, and the present copy is the only one that has reached here."
Extract of a letter received from an interior town in New England, dated
"February 22, 1807."
"SIR, "I see as how general Armstrong was a little scary about that there decree the French emperor made in Berlin to cut off trade with England. Now it's my notion the General was too rash, for I guess the president tried to cut off the trade himself, only merchants were too sharp, and then they had so many friends in congress he couldn't do it. So when I saw that there decree, I thought to myself, thinks I, this is just what our folks have been at all the while, and see they couldn't do it all alone, they've got Bonee to help em. And so says I to my wife, Mary, says I, you and daater Nabby must spin nation fast, for here's no more close comin from England."
"But then Mister I guess the General's letter might encourage our merchants to keep up the English trade; and yet I guess if they do, the Frenchmen will take their ships. But then there's another tarnal thing in that letter. The General asks "if the French decree involves our rights?" Now dang it I tho't we fixed our rights when we brought old England to acknowledge our independence. And pray what have we done since to put em in the hands of Frenchmen? I guess Mister if our rights can be involved in French decrees, we shall presently have no rights at all.—One of my ne ghbors down the river, who was a congress man, says that old bishop Benny Vent Hole is a tarnation cunning fellow. So I'm afraid he'll take it up by and by, that we're all agreed to let them fix our rights by their decrees. So Mister, I wish you'd git Mr. Randolph, or some other flippant man, to make a noration about this, and make Mr. Maddison write over to Benny Vent Hole, as how our rights are our own rights, and as how he and his master Bonee mustn't meddle with 'em. I han't got much larnin, but I hope you'll make out what I mean; so Mister, I'm your humble servant."
"JONATHAN TRIP."
NEWPORT,
[The following are extracts from a letter received in this town, from a gentleman who has resided in London during our late negotiation with the British government, & whose access to the best sources of information render his observations important.]
"London, January 3, 1807."
"We had yesterday the agreeable news of the signature of the convention between the United States and England, by Messrs. Munroe and Pinckney on our part, and lords Holland and Auckland on the other. Our commissioners have had many difficulties to contend with; less perhaps on the part of the British government than of the people. England left almost alone to defend the world, against an universal dominion and universal tyranny, has found only in the supremacy of her navy, the extent of her commerce and the destruction of that of her enemy, resources to enable her to set some bounds to the ambition of Bonaparte. Whatever therefore would weaken her commerce, unman her navy, and preserve the remains of her enemy's trade and colonies, are subjects extremely delicate at the present desperate crisis."
"A ministry not firmly seated by success or long experience, cannot fail to tremble at the idea of alarming the prejudices of the people."
"If therefore in America, we should be disappointed in our hopes I can freely declare that my expectations are exceeded. All that is necessary is acknowledged, if something yet should be required for convenience, it may perhaps, be under stood."
"I am happy on this occasion to express my conviction of the talents, zeal and coincidence of sentiments in our ministers here. They deserve our gratitude for they have justified our confidence."
"I trust that a deed of public benefit will not be judged by us on local motives, and that an act formed by two of the ablest and most virtuous men of opposite parties will be considered only as it relates to the public good. I am certain that this convention will be little relished in England. In the choice of their negotiators we have been fortunate. Lord Holland the nephew of Mr. Fox, entered heartily into the views of his uncle. The sickness and death of the latter, retraced the progress of the negotiation, but it has been settled on the principles of his party.—A little time more, and that party will be in opposition and the Grenvilles or Pitt party, will be disposed rather to resist than to grant. Let those then who may declaim against this convention, declare if they think that a war with England would be more advantageous to us. For this was the only alternative. If the non-importation act had existed one month, without the presence of commissioners here, a war would have ensued."
IMPERIAL UKASE.
Alexander, emperor of all the Russians, &c. &c.
Our manifesto of the 30th of August, declared the situation of our affairs with the French government. At that period of our hostile situation, Prussia first formed a barrier between us, and the French tyrannised over various parts of Germany,—But soon after, the fire of war blazed out in Prussia also; after various disasters and important losses on her part, our own dominions on the frontier are now threatened with the flame. To Russians accustomed to love the glory of their country, and to sacrifice every thing to it, it is unnecessary to explain how unavoidable these evils made the present war. Honor unsheathed our sword for the protection of our allies; How much more justly must it be drawn for the defence of our own safety? Before these events could approach our frontiers, we took at an early period, every measure to be ready to meet them. Having, in good time, ordered our army to move beyond the frontiers, we have now commissioned our general field marshal Kamensky to command it, and to act against the enemy with all the forces entrusted to him. We are assured, all our faithful servants will join us in fervent prayers to the Almighty, who directs the fate of states, and the issue of battles, that he may take our righteous cause under his all powerful protection, that his victorious strength and blessing may direct the Russian armies employed for repelling the general foe of Europe.—We are confident that our faithful subjects of the government of the frontier will, in the present circumstances particularly, redouble the proofs of their attachment and their zeal for the common good; and that unshaken by fear or delusive promises,
they will tread with firmness the same path in which, under the protection of the laws, and of a mild government, they have hitherto enjoyed tranquillity and undisturbed property, and shared in the universal prosperity of the whole empire.
Lastly, we are confident, that all the children of the land, relying on the help of God, on the valor of our troops and on the known experience of their leader, will spare no sacrifices, no efforts, which patriotism and the safety of our country may demand.

Valuable Lands for Sale,

A valuable Tract of Land, now in the occupation of Dr. James H. Blake; situate in Fairfax county, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, on the south side of Pohick creek, containing about 325 acres, be the same more or less. This land was sold and conveyed in the year 1795 by Col. William Fitzhugh to James H. Blake, Richard Parrott, and Anthony Banning, and in 1798 by them conveyed to me in trust to be sold upon the happening of certain events which have taken place. Col. William Fitzhugh held this land under his ancestors, who together with himself had possessed it without any interfering adverse claim from any quarter very many years previous to the year 1795; so that it is believed there can be no possible doubt in the title: but selling as I do as a trustee, I will not give any warrantee except against myself and those claiming under me. A further description is conceived unnecessary, as the sale will be made on the land on the day above mentioned, and commence at the hour of 11 o'clock in the forenoon.
