Speech of General S. Smith on British af- fairs. Mar 4
Mr. President. The subject now be- fore the Senate is, the third resolution re- ported by your committee on that part of the message which relates to British spoila- tions. The first resolution is a declaration of our neutral rights, and has passed the senate unanimously. The second requests the president to send a special mission to Great Britain to demand the restoration of property unlawfully taken from our mer- chants, and by a peaceful arrangement to adjust all differences subsisting between that nation and the United States. The third is now before us. I will take leave to read it.
III. "Resolved, That it is expedient to prohibit by law the importation into the U. States of any of the following goods, wares, or merchandise, being the growth, produce or manufactures of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, or the dependencies thereof, that is to say, woolens, linens, hats, nails, looking glasses, rum, hard wares, slate, salt, coal, boots, shoes, ribbons, silks, and plated and glass wares. The said prohibition to commence from the day of
unless previously thereto, equitable arrangements shall be made between the two governments, on the differences subsisting between them; and to continue until such arrangements shall be agreed upon and settled."
This resolution is intended, Mr. Presi- dent, to afford aid to the negotiation re- commended in the second. Without this aid, or something similar, I doubt whether Great Britain would not calculate (as here- tofore) on an indecisive character in our government, on its indisposition to lend any aid or protection to commerce; and reasoning thus whether her minister might not be induced to believe, that he could proceed in safety to the destruction of eve- ry part of our commerce with her enemies and their dependencies. This measure, Mr. President, is called a war measure. Is it so? If it is, then does Great Britain maintain a constant war measure against the United States, for she at all times pro- hibits the importation into her ports of eve- ry article manufactured within our coun- try. She even prohibits our provisions from being consumed in her kingdoms, except when her wants compel her to ad- mit them. If then she has set us the ex- ample, and as by her laws prohibited every article of our manufacture, from being ad- mitted into her kingdoms, how can our prohibiting a part of her manufactures from being imported into the United States, be considered as a war measure? This mea- sure is not intended to take effect immed- iately; the first of November next is con- templated, which will give full time for negotiation, and for Great Britain to re- flect on her cruel, and unprovoked conduct towards us; a conduct that has been highly reprobated in England; a conduct that when examined has but too much the ap- pearance of a determination to benefit by the plunder of our property, without the authority of law, and directly contrary to the public sanction, given to our neutral trade in a correspondence held between Lord Hawkesbury, and Mr. King, in one thousand eight hundred and one.
Some gentlemen anxious to defeat this measure are attempting to create a differ- ence between the agricultural and commer- cial interest. Such conduct is unworthy of the statesman. The one is absolutely ne- cessary to the other. I, will not Mr. Presi- dent discuss a subject so self evident, I will only remark that should this proposi- tion prevail, it will be more severely felt by the merchant than the farmer. The latter can live within his own means, the merchant depends upon his commerce for his support, and on this ground I had ex- pected that the opposition would & might with some reason be given. I believe however that the merchants of our coun- try will never be found less ready to make sacrifices for the general good, than their fellow citizens. Gentlemen call the trade pursued by our merchants a carrying trade. This is not correct. There is a wide dif- ference between the carrying trade and our neutral commerce. The carrying trade is when ships are employed in carrying a freight the property of others. In this trade the Dutch were engaged in carrying the produce of the French colonies to the mother country in 1756, or account of the French planter and merchant, in which they were certainly sanctioned by their ex- isting treaty with Great Britain, which fully stipulated their right to be carriers in such case. The British however seized
their ships. The neutral trade is that which we pursue, to wit: Our ships are laden for our own account in the French, Span- ish and Dutch colonies, in which no for- eigner has any concern. This is the trade which we claim as a right in time of war as well as peace, when permitted by the na- tions to which such colonies belong. If any of our ships are found carrying the pro- perty of the enemies of Great Britain, let them be punished, we mean not to defend them.
A firm friendship on the part of the U. States, is desirable with all nations. With none more than with Great Britain. We can be mutually useful to each other. Our usefulness to her is self evident. Her friendship to us would tend greatly to our happiness and peace as a nation, and could in no manner operate to her injury. A mu- tual good understanding appears to me so necessary to Great Britain, that no trifling consideration ought to induce her to dis- turb it. Permit me to enquire what are the benefits which result to that nation from our commerce. I have before me the re- port of the secretary of the treasury cal- culated on an average of three years, by which I observe that the United States import annually from all the world, to the amount of 75,000,000 of dollars of which 38 millions are imported from Great Britain and her dependencies; 27,400,000 dollars thereof being actually of the arti- cles manufactured in Great Britain. Of the 75 millions (our total imports) 28 millions are articles re-exported, so that the true a- mount of importation, for our own con- sumption, can only be estimated at 47 mil- lions. Of this 47 millions I am convinced from the secretary's report, that at least thirty-two millions are imported from G. Britain and her dependencies, and consumed by our citizens.
The total amount of exports of the native pro- ducts of the United States, is near 40 millions of dollars, of which 20 millions of dollars are ex- ported to Great Britain and her dominions. Out of this sum not more than 15 millions of dollars can be considered as a regular export for the use of Great Britain and her colonies. For instance, the report of the Secretary states, the value of tobacco exported to Great Britain on the average of three years, at 3,220,000 dollars, when I be- lieve it will be admitted that not more than 14,000 hogheads are estimated as her annual consumption. Ships laden with tobacco although they clear out for England, in many instances only call there for orders, and proceed to the ports on the continent for the sale of their car- goes. Provisions which can only be admitted into Great Britain in times of real scarcity, can not be considered an in export to her, which may at all times be calculated upon . Their amount in the secretary's report is stated at 2,160,000. On this subject I will make one other observation. It is this; that our exports are estimated at their present prices. On a return of peace those prices cannot be expected, whereas the price of the goods imported, will continue at least as high as they now are. From this view of the subject, and I believe it correct, it will appear that the United States import from Great Britain and her possessions, nearly one half the amount of her total import, near two thirds of all that we import for our own use and consumption, and that Great Britain and her dependencies do not consume of our products more than one half of the amount of what we import from her. By the same re- port it will be seen that Great Britain exports to the United States of her manufactures twenty seven millions four hundred thousand dollars, and consumes only nine millions independent of her colonies, and deducting as before stated for toba- co not used, and provisions only admitted in times of scarcity. To make up the balance which we are thus indebted to Great Britain, our merchants are compelled to exercise their talents, and their enterprise in seeking other markets, in doing which in a fair and legal manner, and as sanctioned by Great Britain in 1801, their ships have been met by the British cruizers, carried into port and condemned, under the pretext of new principles heretofore unknown to them.
And yet, Mr. President, with all their industry the balance of trade appears by the Secretary's report, to be against the United States. The Secretary has assigned found reasons to show how this deficiency stated by him of seven millions against the United States may be accounted for. He might have added, that the plunder commit- ted on us by the belligerents had essentially con- tributed to create that balance. He might with truth have said, that the seizure and unlawful condemnation of the ships and cargoes of citizens of the United States by the powers at war, had added at least six millions of dollars in the three years, towards creating that heavy apparent ba- lance of trade against our country. But for those depredations the balance would certainly have been much less. But, Mr. President, are those the only advantages arising from our trade to Great Britain? No sir, almost all our money negotiations go through her merchants. The proceeds of a great part of the cargoes shipped from the United States to other countries are or- dered to Great Britain, and either go to pay our debts there, or are drawn from thence, by bills of exchange, thus giving to Great Britain a great source of wealth and employment. Mr. President, we are in truth more useful to her than if we
were again her colonies; for she enjoys almost all the benefits resulting from our commerce, and incurs no expence in our protection. From Cook's statement it appears that America imports from Great Britain, one quarter of the manufac- tures which she exports. For all these advan- tages, Mr. President, and surely they are im- portant, what return do we receive? We ought to expect that which would be favourable. We receive the reverse. How Great Britain con- ducts herself towards us shall be a part of my pre- sent enquiry.
(To be continued.)
IMPORTANT NEWS.
From London papers to January 23 by the Sachem, capt. Hatch, arrived at Charles- ton.
LONDON, December 31.
WE now lay before our readers a copy of the Armistice [See the Advertiser of Monday last] concluded between the em- peror of Germany and Bonaparte. The French retain till the conclusion of a defi- nitive peace, their positions in Moravia, besides occupying all upper & lower Aus- tria, Tyrol, the Venetian States, Carinthia, Styria, Carfinda, Istria, and the country of Gortz, besides great part of Bohemia! — All the territories taken or not taken, from the southern coast of Istria to Vienna, to Brunn and Olmutz, all are to be consider- ed as occupied by the French. Hungary alone is to be considered as unoccupied; yet even there the Emperor of Germany is not permitted to order any Levy-en-Masse or insurrection. He is not to recruit in Bohemia; and no foreign army is to en- ter the Austrian territories. The Russians are to evacuate Moravia and Hungary in a fortnight, and Galicia in a month. — No mention is made of the archduke Charles, though we suppose the armistice is to be considered as extending to him. Negotia- tions for a definitive peace are immediate- ly to be opened at Nicholsbourg. The ar- mistice is not signed by any person on the part of the emperor of Russia; and it should seem as if it had been concluded without his having any share in it. He asks general Savary what its contents are and makes use of the following express- ions. "I shall return to my capital; — I came here to assist the emperor of Germany; he sends me word he is satisfied — so am I" — that is, "I have nothing more to do." It appears then as if the em- peror Alexander were not very well con- tented. Indeed it does seem a little ex- traordinary, that when the Russian forces were so much larger than that of the Aus- trians, who had but a small number of men in the battle of the second, an armis- tice should be concluded for the Russians, without the participation or knowledge of their emperor. The armistice was not signed till the 6th. The principal condi- tions of the armistice were agreed upon between the emperor of Germany and Bo- naparte in person on the 4th; why it was not signed until the 6th we know not; it is now however of little importance.
It were vain to deny that the armistice is a real capitulation of the allied army, a discretionary surrender of the house of Aus- tria. We must indeed believe that the battle of the second was disasterous, since it has produced such an effect. Nothing but the last extremity could have justified such a measure. As to the negotiations at Austerlitz, they will be but of a short duration. We do not see why they cannot be concluded as soon as the negotiation for the armistice.
To attempt to conceal the disaster to which the continent is now exposed is gi- gantic, the danger mighty, would be ab- surd. Such a calamity Europe never ex- perienced before.
January 3.
The conclusion of the armistice is fully confirmed, and we have to regret, that nearly about the time the emperor Francis was ratifying the melancholy act of his dis- grace and subjugation, his two brothers, the gallant archduke Charles and prince Ferdinand were successfully employed in reviving the drooping spirits of his sub- jects, and restoring the glory of the Aus- trian name. The former, after one of the most skilful marches ever executed, and which is admitted, even in the Vienna Gazette, to have been a chef-d'œuvre in the military art, and after defeating, with the loss of 6000 men in killed and wound- ed, general Ney's division, penetrated in- to Austria, and on the 10th summoned the garrison left by Bonaparte in Vienna, to surrender up that city. The latter, at the head of an inferior force, succeeded on the 5th in routing the Bavarian army, and took a strong position at Iglau, about 15 leagues in the rear of the French grand army. These important successes were further strengthened by the arrival of a
fresh corps of 12,000 Russians, under the command of general Essen, which effect- ed a junction with the main body shortly after the fatal battle of the 2d. The as- pect of a change in the fortunes of the al- lies, and the archduke Charles had the mortification to find that his admirable operations but contributed to cast an addi- tional gloom on the calamities of his house.
The Austrian official account of the bat- tle of the 2d is extremely vague and unsa- tisfactory. It is couched in such general terms, that unless the results were undeni- able, those who read it might be inclined to consider the advantages gained by the French as by no means decisive. All the authenticated accounts from the scene of action, or its vicinity, concur, however, in representing the contest to have been disputed with the greatest valor and per- severance on both sides; and though the loss of the confederates was immense, that sustained by the enemy must have been much greater than what is stated in the 33d bulletin. The moderation displayed by Bonaparte in suffering the Russians to retire, and which has been so very highly extolled in his own official details, we are now enabled to account for. It clearly appears to have arisen from the arrival of general Essen with twelve thousand fresh troops; a reinforcement, at such a crisis, of the greatest moment, and which was sufficient, after a battle so hardly fought, to inspire even a more audacious victor than Bonaparte with sentiments of modera- tion. It is not at all improbable that the emperor Alexander is seriously offended at the despondency of the emperor Francis, and that he will still exert himself to rouse Prussia to a just sense of the danger which threatens that wavering power. The visit of prince Constantine to Berlin was, no doubt, designed to accomplish that object. After the disasters in Moravia, we cannot reconcile ourselves to hope for any thing like a zealous co-operation on the part of his Prussian majesty. Yet his troops con- tinue to accumulate in Franconia; and the utmost activity pervades the whole of his war establishment.
The Russians in the north of Germany have advanced towards Westphalia, and the King of Sweden has arrived at Lunen- burg. We cannot learn whether any pro- gress has been made in the siege of Ham- meln. The British troops were concen- trated on the 19th in the neighborhood of Bremen, under the command of lord Cath- cart.
The Loire frigate, which spoke a Swede, received the intelligence from her, that the squadron which escaped from Brest on the 13th ult. consisted of 14 sail of the line and seven frigates. They separated into two divisions.
The Gazette of last night communicates the capture of La Libre French frigate, by L' Egypienne and La Loire. La Libre made a very gallant resistance. L' Egyp- tienne was fought by the second lieutenant (Handfield) captain Fleming and the first lieutenant (Pascoe) being on the court martial at Portsmouth. The first captain is one of Bonaparte's Legion of Honor. This is the fourteenth prize L' Egyp- tienne has taken during her last cruise.
January 20.
The dispatches received by government from sir Arthur Paget, lord Harrowby, and Mr. Jackson, have confirmed the state- ment relative to the terms of the treaty of peace between Austria and France:
The Tyrol is to be ceded to Bavaria and the kingdom of Italy, the Northern Tyrol to the former, and the Southern to the latter.
The Vorarlberg to be given to Bava- ria.
The Austrian possessions in Suabia and Franconia to Bavaria, Wurttemberg, and Baden.
The Lanverthal, a most important ac- quisition, is to be annexed to the king of Italy, together with the Venetian Provin- ces.
Fifty millions of florins are to be paid to France.
Bonaparte has also demanded the cession of Istria and Dalmatia, but this demand was firmly resisted by the archduke Charles who desired an interview with Bonaparte for the purpose of stating his determined opposition to it.
The archduke's army was at Edinberg, four posts from Vienna, at the commence- ment of the negotiations for peace; his presence perhaps produced some beneficial effect; but the terms of peace are yet se- vere and hard enough.

THE SPEECH of the Lord Commissioners, to both Houses of Parliament, on Tuesday, January 21, 1806.
My Lords and Gentlemen, In pursuance of the authority given to us by his Majesty's commission under the great seal, among other things, to declare the cause of his holding this parliament, his majesty has directed us to call your at- tention, to the most decisive success which providence has vouchsafed to bless his ma- jesty's arms at sea, since you were last as- sembled in parliament.
The activity and perseverance of his ma- jesty's fleets, have been conspicuously dis- played in the pursuit and attack of the dif- ferent squadrons of the enemy, and every encounter has terminated to the honor of the British flag, and the diminution of the naval force of the powers with whom his majesty is at war. But the victory obtained over the combined fleet of France & Spain, off Cape Trafalgar, has manifested, beyond any exploit recorded even in the annals of the British navy, the skill and enterprize of his majesty's officers and seamen; and the destruction of so large a proportion of the naval strength of the enemy, has not only confirmed in the most signal manner, the maritime superiority of this country, but has essentially contributed to the security of his majesty's dominions.
His majesty most deeply regrets that the day of that memorable triumph should have been unhappily clouded by the fall of the brave commander under whom it was at- chieved; and he is persuaded that you will share this lamented, but glorious termi- nation of a series of transcendent exploits, adorns a distinguished expression of the lasting gratitude of this country; and that you will therefore cheerfully concur in ena- bling his majesty, to annex to those ho- nors which he has conferred on the family of the late Lord Viscount Nelson, such a mark of national magnificence, as may pre- serve to the latest posterity, the memory of his name and services, and the benefit of his great example.
His majesty has commanded us further to inform you, that, whilst the superiority of his arms at sea has been thus uniformly asserted and maintained, he has not been wanting in his endeavours to apply the means which were so liberally at his dispo- sal, in aid of such of the powers of the con- tinent as evinced a determination to resist the formidable and growing encroachments of France. He has directed the several treaties entered into for this purpose to be laid before you; and though he cannot but deeply lament that the events of the war in Germany have disappointed his hopes, and led to an unfavorable issue, yet his majes- ty feels confident, that, upon a review of the steps which he has taken, you will be of opinion that he has left nothing undone on his part, to sustain the efforts of his allies, and that he has acted in strict con- formity to the principles declared by him, and recognized by parliament as essential to the interest and security of his own do- minions, as well as the general safety of the continent.
It is a great consolation to his majesty, and one in which he is persuaded you will participate, that although the emperor of Germany has felt himself compelled to withdraw from the contest, his majesty con- tinues to receive from his august ally the emperor of Russia, the strongest assur- ances of unshaken adherence to that gene- rous & enlightened policy by which he has hitherto been actuated; and his majesty has no doubt that you will be fully sensible of the important advantages to be derived from preserving at all times the closest and most intimate connection with that sove-
Gentlemen of the House of Commons, His majesty has directed the estimates for the year to be laid before you, and has commanded us to inform you, that they are formed upon that scale of exertion which the present situation of the country renders indispensable. His majesty fully relies upon your granting him such sup- plies as upon due deliberation, the public necessities may appear to require.
It is his earnest wish to contribute, by every means in his power, to alleviate the additional burthens which must necessari- ly be imposed upon his people, and with this view he has directed the sum of one million sterling, part of the proceeds aris- ing from the sale of such prizes made on the powers with which he is at war as are now vested in the crown: to be applied to the public services of the year.
My Lords and Gentlemen, His majesty is fully persuaded, that whatever pride and confidence you may share in common with him in the success which has distinguished the British arms in the course of the present contest, you
will be sensible how much the events of the war, on the continent, by which the predominant power and influence of France have been so unhappily extended, require the continuance of all possible vigilance and exertion. Under this impression, his ma- jesty trusts that your attention will be inva- riably directed to the improvement of those means which are to be found in the bravery and discipline of his forces, and the zeal and loyalty of every class of his subjects, and in the unexhausted resources of his dominions, for rendering the British em- pire invincible at home, as well as formi- dable abroad; satisfied that by such efforts alone the contest can be brought to a con- clusion consistent with the safety and in- dependence of the country, and with the rank amongst the nations of the world."
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 22. Yesterday, at five in the morning, our beloved sovereign returned in good health, to the great joy of this capital, being met by the joyful acclamations of the inhabi- tants of all ranks. We were the day be- fore yesterday apprised by the publication of the following article in the Court Ga- zettee:
"Hollitsch, Dec. 5.—The exhausted powers of the court of Vienna, the mis- fortunes it has sustained, together with a want of provisions, have compelled the Roman emperor, notwithstanding the strong and vigorous support he has experi- enced from the Russian troops to conclude a convention with France, to which also a peace must succeed. His Imperial majes- ty having come to his assistance as an ally, had no other object in view than his de- fence, and the averting of those dangers which threatened the empire; and since his majesty the emperor, under the pre- sent circumstances, has deemed the pre- sence of the Russian troops no longer ne- cessary in Austria, his majesty has been pleased to order them to leave Austria, and to return to Russia. The relation of the hostile operations, to the period of their cessation, will be published in a short time."
CHARLESTON, March. 11. By the ship Sachem, captain Hatch, which arrived yesterday in 43 days from Liverpool, London accounts have been received to the 23d of January, which con- tain information of the complete destruc- tion of the allies on the continent, the re- turn of the Russians into their own coun- try; the recall of the British troops; and to sum up the disgrace of the whole, the armistice which has been concluded be- tween the French and the Austrians.
A part of the Brest fleet are said in the London papers to be certainly at sea. The death of Mr. Pitt, at a moment like the present will have a very serious influence upon the conduct of the British cabinet; but from the papers which we have perus- ed they seem determined to oppose the Corsican maker and unmaker of kings, without any other ally than their own hon- or, and without any other assistance than the courage of their forces. Standing alone amidst the dread conflict, the champion of the civilized world, like the rocks which surround her coast, against which the tem- pest loudly roars, but roars in vain.
Extracts from our papers will be found in the preceding columns.
Extract of a letter from a commercial house in Liverpool, to their correspondent in this city, dated the 25th of Jan. 1806.
SIR—The situation of political affairs still occasions a severe depression of our markets; and we have in the strongest manner to confirm the advices we have al- ready given our friends to do no business to this country until we are more settled.
The quarantine is taken off all ves- sels from New York and Philadelphia. The king's Speech upon the meeting of parliament is destitute of any particular in- terests from which conclusions of a com- mercial nature can be drawn. A general peace is talked of by some, but as far as is publicly known, rests only on a matter of opinion, and it is by some thought that the death of Mr. Pitt, which took place on the 23d inst. will remove one impedi- ment to a negotiation, and by others, that at this moment his loss, in a political point of view is most seriously to be deplor- ed.
We mention to our friends such pub- lic occurrences as are likely to affect mercantile arrangements; and whether a continuance of war or a peace be con- cluded, we feel confident that your in- terest will be benefitted by doing no busi- ness this way. Prussia, is to occupy Ha- nover at least for the present, by an ar- rangement between that government and France, and nothing further is known from
the continent than what we have already detailed to you. As long as France retains the sway in Europe, there can be little doubt it will exert its influence to lessen the resources of this country from a conti- nental trade.
Owing to political occurrences, and want of demand for goods, the depression in our cotton markets, in particular, has been most serious: Upland Georgia has been sold 14 1-2d. for fair cotton, and we have heard of a sale lower. We quote you the price of American cotton at present, and the rapid decrease in value is almost un- precedented, and has been nearly nominal, cottons having come down 2d. and 3d. at once, with very trifling sales. Such is the alarm created, and the anxiety of the nee- dy holders to force sales, that we expect a still further reduction, and should not be surprised to see upland cotton at 12d. if so, it may produce a speculation, from which alone any improvement can now be looked for. New Orleans and Tennessees are nearly unsaleable.
The high quotations from your country, and the demand there for the French mar- ket, will be the cause of serious losses from shipments, and whether under the influ- ence of advices from hence, a correspond- ing reduction may take place with you ap- pears doubtful.
Some sales of flour have been made for exportation, and rests about 46s. per bar- rel.
We have already advised you the altera- tions since our last price current, but the wind has prevented any vessels getting out of this port for upwards of six weeks. Should the present be delayed, and any thing interesting occur, you may depend upon being advised.
Insurances to and from the U States 3 to 4 guineas; 2 1-2 has been given on the ships. New Orleans 6 to 8 guineas. We remain, &c.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, MARCH 22. ADMIRAL CALDER.
The trial of vice admiral sir Robert Cal- der, was held on board the Prince of Wales, at Portsmouth, on the 22d December.— The trial lasted four days. The following is the sentence of the court.
"In consequence of the letter of admi- ralsir Robert Calder to the lords of the admiralty, requesting an investigation of his conduct on the 23d and 24th of July- last, after the action with the combined squadron of France and Spain, and while in sight of the enemy: and in conse- quence of the instructions, thereupon di- rected to ad. Montague, to hold a court martial, for the purpose of enquiring into the conduct of the said ad. Sir R. Calder, on the said days, and to try him for not having done his utmost to take or destroy every ship of the enemy which it was his duty to engage, the court has enter- ed into the said inquiry; and after da- ly considering the conduct of the said Admiral Sir Robert Calder, and hear- ing, and deliberating fully upon all the evidence laid before us respecting the same on the days aforesaid, we are of opinion, that the charges against the con- duct of the said admiral sir Robert Calder on the above days, in presence of the ene- my, in not having done his utmost to take and destroy every ship of the enemy, which it was his duty to engage, ARE FULLY PROVED."
"The court are of opinion, that such conduct on the part of the said admiral sir Robert Calder was not the result of fear or cowardice, but of error in judgment, for which he deserves to be severely repri- manded, and he is hereby severely repri- manded accordingly."
In COMMON COUNCIL. March 18. 1806.
The committee appointed to examine the marshes adjoining the town and report the best method of draining them, with an estimate of the expence, made a report on that subject which was concurred in by Council—wherefore it is ordered that the said report be published in the newspapers—viz.
The committee appointed to examine the flats of the marshes adjoining the town, report, that in con- formity to the resolution of Council, they proceeded to the examination and are of opinion that the best means which can be adopted for draining the marshy ground at each end of the town is to cause a channel to be dug of the width of six feet, and one foot in depth through the centre of them, or as near as may be practicable, smaller ones to convey the water from the different springs into the main channel, whereby the filth from the town will be confined within a small space and eventually carried into the river instead of be- ing so widely extended, to the great injury of
the health of those who live in their neighbor- hood.
From an estimate made by the Superintendent of Police at the request of your committee, it appears that the sum of eighty dollars will be sufficient to defray the expence of that part ing within the northern district; and that in their opinion a like sum will be required in the south- ern district—they therefore recommend that the Superintendent of Police be ordered to notify to all persons owning property on which there is a- ny stagnant water, that they shall proceed to drain the same within the space of thirty days; and in case they do not comply with such order, that the same shall be immediately done at their expence.
They further recommend, that it shall be the duty of the Superintendent of Police, to keep such channels open at the expence of the respective districts in which they are situate.

Twenty Dollars Reward, WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the mid ferry opp site to Alexandria, and abandoned from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, luffy and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his abandonment, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Coles, at Port Tobacco. C. B. Caufin.
