CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18.
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. Broom's Speech concluded.)
Without the most prompt attention to the preservation of our privileges, we may have the form, but we shall not long have the substance of a free government; and of all governments, I think that the worst, where the sound of liberty supplies the place of the reality, and a thousand petty tyrants take shelter under the cloak of republicanism. This resolution is opposed by a gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Bidwell) on two grounds. First, that we must necessarily decide on the innocence or guilt of gen. Wilkinson—Second, that the laws are already sufficient. With respect to the first, I have already contended that the law, providing only for future cases, will have no retroactive effect. I would be sorry to try gen. Wilkinson or any other person, without suffering him to be heard; but we know from his own letters that the laws have been violated—we know that these violations seriously affect the dearest rights of the citizen, and we cannot deny that such violations ought to be guarded against by efficient laws. These facts then are sufficient to justify an inquiry, whether such efficient laws do exist; and as they are facts which no one will deny, it cannot injure gen. W. or any other person if we make laws to guard against the recurrence of them in future. It is said these men could not be tried at New Orleans—it is not material to involve in our discussion this question; for if they could not be tried they might have been imprisoned there until they were transferred according to law to the place where a trial could be had—but it can never be justifiable in a military officer to seize and deport to any part of the U. S. any citizen whom he might suspect of guilt. If it were admitted an officer might carry a man from place to place until he found judges and juries disposed to convict—the constitution to the contrary notwithstanding. Gen. Wilkinson's zeal may have been sincere and his motives pure, and the pressure of circumstances such as to make him feel justifiable in his conduct—but, sir, we never can with safety entrust such unlimited discretion to any military officer; and such conduct, however innocent the motives, ought to be guarded against by the most severe laws. The second objection of the gentleman from Massachusetts is, that the laws are already sufficient. They surely have not been effectual to prevent the abuse of the privilege of habeas corpus. This writ was issued at New Orleans and gen. Wilkinson in open court took upon himself the responsibility of refusing to obey it. The writ was issued at Charleston and the officer refused to obey it—and the military continued in possession of their prisoner until they arrived at the place of their destination. The people of England never considered the writ of habeas corpus perfectly secure until it was strengthened by the statute of Charles. It seems generally agreed that provisions similar to that statute would be useful; but some gentlemen say that it extends to the U. S. and the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Smilie) admits that if it does not extend, similar provisions ought to be made. Statutes declaratory of the common law are sometimes received in our courts; but I believe that it never was considered that penal statutes could extend without express legislative provision. In Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York, and perhaps other states, laws have been made to supply the provisions of the statute of Charles, and upon the principle that the statute did not extend. If these provisions are useful and there could be a doubt about the statute, the laws of the U. S. ought to provide, although the constitution secures the privilege, and the laws authorise the judges to grant the writ, yet without penalties the privilege is too liable to be abused. If an officer refuses obedience to the writ of habeas corpus, what remedy has the injured party? he must sue for false imprisonment, and if any prejudice exists against him, or in favor of the officer, he will recover only nominal damages. The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Eppes) avows, that if he was on the jury, he
would give no damages if he was convinced the officer acted with honest intentions; and we can well conceive such prejudice to exist against a man charged with a heinous offence, as would prevent him from recovering real damages; for the abhorrence of the crime is often transferred to the party accused.
When illegal conduct is committed under color of authority, the whole community is affected, and an atonement ought to be made to society as well as to the individual.
The remedy for false imprisonment should still exist; but the officer should be subject to a penalty not to be assessed at the discretion of the jury, but to be fixed by law. The officer should also, having abused his power, be for ever disqualified from holding any place of profit, honor, or trust, under the U. States. By this, no man would be deprived of a trial by jury, because the penalty and disqualification, should only attach, upon being found guilty by a verdict of a jury. It is objected by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Early) that this resolution is not brought forward in due time. To this I answer that the events that have given rise to it are of recent origin. The gentleman also objects that we should be obliged to call on the president for information. If he is afraid of such information, it surely furnishes some reason to suspect, that there is something rotten. I do not charge the executive with the conduct of general Wilkinson, the share of responsibility which may belong to that quarter depends on circumstances with which we are probably unacquainted, and on the course which they may hereafter pursue.
Mr. Jackson (Va.) had hoped that the gentleman from Delaware would have contented himself with protesting his regard for the rights of the citizen, and not troubled the house with the long speech he had delivered on the occasion. Mr. J. said it gave him an alarm to find such sympathy for men guilty of the most atrocious crimes. Treason in some countries may be an act of magnanimity, but here it is the worst of all crimes, because it aims at the destruction of the best government and the happiest state of society in the world.
Mr. J. deprecated legislating from the impulse of the moment. It had proved the bane of that party under whose banners the gentleman from Delaware had marshalled himself. If a man ventured to expose the conduct of the then existing administration, he was to be gagged with the sedition law; if he failed in showing due respect to the ruling powers, he was to be transported by the alien act. Mr. J. conceived that the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus were simply secured by the constitution, an authority paramount to any act of the legislature. It was in his opinion so guarded as even to endanger the acquittal of criminals.
Mr. J. proceeded to observe that if any officer will violate the constitution and take the responsibility, it is in vain to make laws in order to prevent it. But were there no circumstances to justify Wilkinson? He saw treason lurking on every side. There are cases in which necessity affords a complete palliation. The president's message does not confirm the declaration of the gentleman from Delaware that there were no grounds for charge against Alexander. Mr. J. here read Wilkinson's affidavit. Does it not show that they are all linked together? Wilkinson believed, and no doubt justly, that these persons could not be safely imprisoned at New Orleans. When it appeared that the judges, at least one of them, was desirous not to oppose the treason, it would have been madness in the extreme to have left the traitors there, and especially when it was expected that Burr would soon arrive with a powerful force.
The relief for abuses of the writ of habeas corpus is in trial by jury. This is the best relief. But the violator is also liable to impeachment and is amenable to the government. The outrages spoken of have a remedy; the privilege of the writ is amply secured. If the constitution has been broken, a law would also have we not also been broken in the same circumstances. Mr. J. then concluded by announcing his determination to vote against the reference of the resolution.
Several members were rising to speak, when an adjournment was moved and carried—ayes 60.
Wednesday, February 18.
After the transaction of some business of minor importance, the house resumed the consideration of the motion of Mr. Broom, to refer his resolution relative
to the writ of habeas corpus, to a committee of the whole house—Ayes 49—Noes 33.
Mr. Elliot (Ver.) Mr. Speaker, I made several efforts, sir, during the discussion of yesterday, to become entitled to the privilege of addressing yourself and the house, upon the present question, in which I was unfortunately disappointed. Had I succeeded, my remarks would have been very concise, and I feel no disposition even now to render them tedious. I shall take occasion, however, at the outset, to declare that I experience none of that fastidious delicacy with which the minds of some gentlemen appear to be impressed, in relation to this motion. I have no ambition to be considered one of those "silly ducking observers, who trim their duties nicely," on a question of this character, on a subject of this magnitude. Nor do I discover that profound darkness which the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Early) has described. I group in no gloom. All is light and luminous around me. The path is plain. The way is clear and envirored with no difficulties.
Gentlemen have generally been disposed, and I think with great propriety, to consider the subject in two points of view—First, to examine the merits of the proposed resolution upon general principles, abstracted from all connexion with events that have occurred, either recent or distant. Secondly, to consider the propriety of exercising the supreme legislative power to preclude the recurrence of events which have sacrificed for a time "the holy attributes of the constitution," to borrow the language of the great violator of the constitution himself, at the shrine of military power.
Upon the first point gentlemen who have expressed their sentiments have been unanimous, or nearly so, in declaring that legal provisions of the kind now contemplated ought to be made, at a proper time, if those now existing are insufficient and inoperative. Those who have told us that the British statutes upon the subject of the writ of habeas corpus are in force in the United States, or even that it is doubtful whether they are so or not, need not have told us that they are not professional men; it was a work of supererogation. No professional man could for a moment entertain the idea that the statutes of Great Britain are laws of the United States. The question may be considered as undetermined, whether the common law of England or any part of it which has not been expressly recognized by our constitution and statutes, is law in the United States, considered in their federal character; it is at least well known that upon that question a unanimous opinion does not exist in the first judicial tribunal of our country. For one, I do not believe that the United States as the United States, possess any code of Common Law. I know of no laws of the Union but the constitution and the statutes—That constitution and those statutes have recognized, or rather referred to certain portions of the common law, and particularly to certain technical common law terms and rules, as rules of practice in the federal courts; and beyond those the courts have no common law powers. At all events we have not adopted any of the British statutes, and particularly, and by mere implication too, statutes highly penal in their operation. The doctrine is too absurd to be countenanced upon serious reflection, by any man of common discernment. The constitution has declared that "the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of invasion or rebellion, the public safety shall require it." But neither the constitution nor your laws have made it a positive duty of the courts to issue the writ in any particular case; still less have they secured the performance of that duty by any penal sanctions. Can it then be improper to provide means to coerce the courts and officers of the United States in this particular, and to leave to all our citizens, at all times and under all circumstances, such an invaluable constitutional privilege? Very few will deny or doubt the propriety of the measure. But many say that it is ill timed and the question of time naturally introduces us to the second scene of discussion.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Anclam, Jan. 2.
General Mortier was preparing to enter Swedish Pomerania, and general Harsheld was preparing to receive him. He has a strong garrison, and 5000 Swedes in Rügen, with a numerous artillery. The French received continual reinforcements.
Bade, Dec. 25.
What has been said of the treaty between Russia and Turkey is false. The Mussulmans are alarmed at the movements of Russia, and the Russian commanders have demanded reinforcements. The Shah of Persia is also said to intend to repulse the unjust aggressions of the Russians, and enter Georgia.
Vienna, Dec. 28.
The march of the Russians thro' Moldavia and Wallachia has discovered the projects of Russia against its neighbors. Russia declared at the same moment that it acted in concert with Turkey. The Porte ran to arms. Passawan Oglu and his allies besieged Bucharest with 40,000 men, and this checked the Russian army. The Porte demanded an explanation of the Russian minister, but he declared himself unable to give one. The Pacha of Widdin finding that the Russians had arrested the French consul, arrested the Russian consul. It is surprising that the English support the Russians in such measures, as their commerce will surely suffer for it.
Copenhagen, Jan. 3.
The Swedish secretary has arrived with dispatches, and he has gone to Kiel.
Hamburg, Jan. 3.
A traveller lately from Sweden informs that the sense of the nation is not in favor of the present measures of that crown, and that many are favorable to the Poles. That the king is so well acquainted with the opinions at Stockholm, that he resides at Malovoe. He does not appear to wish to enter into the war, but only to defend Pomerania. Some negotiations with the French are expected. All diplomatic relations between Hamburg and Sweden had ceased. A general impatience was discovered to find out what would be done at Copenhagen. The courier from the head quarters of the French emperor had not returned. Denmark had received proposals from England, but they had not been encouraged. In Stockholm, on the 25th Dec. the king of Sweden had published a decree to be read in all the churches to prevent all Jews from entering his dominions. A singular method of being revenged on the French.
Munich, Jan. 4.
No town is without orders for recruits. Braunau is to be in the best state of defence.
Paris, Jan. 14.
It is reported that the emperor will soon return to Paris. That the French army during the rigor of the season, is still impatient for victory, but that the emperor wishes, by an honorable repose, to prepare his army for future victories, while he attends to the great concerns of his empire.
A letter from Berlin, dated Dec. 21 describes that city as a surprising proof of what the genius of a great man can do in a country where nature gives him little assistance. In this city every thing is splendid, and nothing solid. In the greatest security the manufactories are deserted. The streets abound with beggars. The inhabitants of the superb buildings which captivate the beholder, are involved in debts. Their furniture wants riches and taste. The nobility of the city are generally poor, and excepting some families and bankers the estates are small. The females incline to indulge in considerable expense. The necessaries of life are as high as at Paris. In Potsdam every thing is adapted to engage the traveller. The great Frederick planned the architecture of this favorite spot, but he could not supply inhabitants enjoying the riches and ease which these buildings display. A grand appearance distinguishes the front of these buildings, but poverty inhabits them.
Mentz, Dec. 26.
A German Journal which has great circulation says,
"The position of Russia at the present moment is awful. An innumerable French army is marching through Poland, which itself is also collecting all its forces to profit by an opportunity which may never again offer, for the recovery and establishment

ment of its independence. The Turks are rising on the South, determined to avenge their long degradation, and forever to prevent its return. In fine, Persia which has already sent an ambassador to Napoleon, will not suffer to escape so favorable an opportunity to repulse from its frontiers a dangerous neighbor, who is every day penetrating towards the centre of its empire. These are sure evils to Russia. And should the king of Sweden, attentive to his true interest, profit from the present state of Russia, he might recover the provinces his predecessors lost. Attacked on all sides, insecure on the Baltic and the Black Sea, what resistance could Russia make with its bottle bellied empire to an army of French that could annihilate its resources.
NATCHEZ, February 10.
On Friday morning a duel was fought on the western margin of the Mississippi opposite this city, between the honorable Cowles Mead, and captain Robert Sample, of Wilkinson county. The first fire was exchanged without doing mischief, but at the discharge of the second, Mr. Mead received a wound in his right thigh, of which, we are happy to say, he is fast recovering.
PHILADELPHIA, March 13.
Copy of a letter from Mr. William Cartwright, to a gentleman in this city, dated
CARTHAGENA, Dec. 15, 1806. Dear Sir, After taking my leave of you, I shipped on board the schooner Bee, capt. Huddel, belonging to ——— bound to St. Domingo, and from thence back to Philadelphia. After we arrived in Saint Domingo, and after laying there 5 months the ship called Leander, captain Lewis, came in and chartered the schooner for five days; unknown to us where bound to — We applied to our captain for a discharge. He replied he would not discharge us. We told him we would not go unless he would inform us where the schooner was going. — The captain then hauled the ship Leander, and two boats came alongside the Bee, with men armed with pistols and cutlasses; but he slashed fore and aft decks; threw us in the boat, and took us on board the ship, kept us there till the ship got ready to sail, sent us on board the schooner again, and went to the Spanish Main, and there was taken, sentenced to hard labor in Carthagena for 8 years.
I would be very glad if you would receive my wages from the 20th of Sept. to the 27th of March, twenty five dollars a month. If I should ever return, I shall recover heavy damages for my suffering — There are nineteen fellow sufferers with me, working every day at digging, with a chain fastened to each. There were fifty seven sentenced, 10 hung.
I remain, Your much esteemed friend, Wm. CARTWRIGHT.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability in Coweta (Creek Nation) dated March 4, 1807.
"Yesterday Colonel Aaron Burr passed here, conducted, as a prisoner of the United States, by a guard of ten men."
This information is corroborated by a letter received from a gentleman who resides at Fort Stoddart, who says that Mr. Burr passed through that place about ten days previous to the date of the above letter.
BOSTON, March 14.
The arrival yesterday afternoon, of the ship Packet, captain Scott, in the short passage of 26 days from Liverpool, has given us full files of London papers as late as the 12th of Feb.
French Bulletins, to No. 52 inclusive, are received. It will be seen by the sketches we have given of them, that the last is dated at Warsaw, and that the French head quarters had retrograded. Excepting the capitulation of Breslau, &c. in Silesia, no military event of note had occurred, posterior to the battle of Pultusk.
A Russian official account, and an abstract of other official particulars of the battle of Pultusk, &c. are also given. It will be seen, that the Russians, though forced eventually to retreat, lay claim to a partial victory. — They retired in good order, and the French acknowledge they did not think it prudent to follow them. — The battle was hard fought, and the ground dearly purchased. The Russians
say Bonaparte commanded in person; and we know that one of his aids (Rapp) was wounded; and another (Segur) taken prisoner, and sent to Russia. At the last date the Russian army, under general Kamensky, was concentrated near Wizna, &c. and were speedily to assume offensive operations. The Russians had retired 11 miles from Pultusk previous to the battle of the 26th.
The emperor Napoleon had not (as reported by the Marblehead arrival) quitted his army. The empress Josephine had arrived in Paris.
We have not time to extend our summary.
Sir Samuel Hood, with one 74 and a frigate, touched at Madeira 16th January, on his way to Buenos Ayres. A great number of merchantmen and transports, for the same place, had also touched at Madeira.
February 12 — English 3 per cent. consols 62 1/2.
His Britannic majesty's frigate Greyhound, of 32 guns, and brig Harrier, of 18, have captured a small Dutch squadron in the Indian seas, after a gallant action. The action took place on the 6th of July, between the small Dutch ports of Bouthiam and Bolacomba. The British ships were commanded by captain C. Elphinstone, who gives the following account of the engagement.
"The enemy, for they proved to be a Dutch squadron, immediately drew out in order of battle on the larboard tack under their topsails. The frigate taking her station in the van, an armed ship astern of her the large ship in the centre, and the corvette in the rear. Fortunately for us, the frigate, by fore-reaching upon her second astern caused a small opening in their line. It was suggested to me, by Mr. Martin, master of his majesty's ship Greyhound, that if we could close with the enemy, while in that position, our attack might be made to advantage. Accordingly under French colors we bore up as with an intention to speak the frigate, and when within hail all further disguise became unnecessary. We shifted our colors and commenced firing, which was instantly returned with a smartness and spirit that evinced they were fully prepared for the contest. The Harrier, who kept close astern of the Greyhound, on seeing her engaged, bore up and passing between the frigate and her seconds astern, raked them both. The latter with such effect that they bore up in succession to return the fire, thus leaving the frigate separated from them. Being resolved to avail myself of this advantage, and being anxious to be in a position for supporting the Harrier, now engaged in the centre of the enemy's line, I wore close round the frigate's bows, raking her severely while passing, and when on the other board began throwing our shots aback, we fell into the desired position."
"The cannonade from the Greyhound was now admirable while that of the frigate visibly slackened, and at least after an action of 40 minutes, wholly ceased. On halting to know if they had struck, they answered they had; and heat, Home took immediate possession of her; on directing our fire at the ships astern, they all followed her example, excepting the corvette, who from being in the rear, had suffered little from the action, and now made off towards the shore. Captain Trowbridge immediately wore in pursuit of her, sending at the same time a boat to take possession of the large ship, whose fire had nearly silenced early in the action; perceiving that the corvette sailed remarkably well, and that she could spread more canvas than the Harrier, her mass a d rigging being on tire, I recalled the latter from a chase which was likely to become fruitless."
"The prizes proved to be the Dutch republican frigate Pallas, of 36 guns, commanded by U. S. Aalters, a captain in the Dutch navy; the Victoria, a two decked ship of about 800 tons, commanded by Klaas Kenken, senior captain in the Dutch Company's service; and the Batavier, a ship of about 500 tons, commanded by William De Val a captain in the same service; both the Company's ships are armed for the purposes of war, and richly laden with the produce of the Moluccas."
"The ship which escaped, I learn from our prisoners, was the republican corvette William, mounting twenty 24 pounders, and manned with 110 men."
The Greyhound and Harrier had 1 man killed and 11 wounded.
The Dutch ships had 10 killed and 39 wounded. The captain, pilot and 4 seamen of the Pallas; and 1 lieutenant and 1 seaman of the Batavier, afterwards died of their wounds.
If the public were not already too well acquainted with the authors, they might well be astonished at the impudence, as they must be horror struck at the nefarious endeavors which have been made to mislead the public, and implicate the character of the federalists with the atrocious proceedings in the western country. of which nothing is more remarkable than that of the many who have been charged as concerned in it; not one single individual appears to have been a federalist. But all—all—all democrats, save those who have sunk down some stages lower, the real JACOBINS. The artfulness of this insinuation, is almost equal to the baseness and atrocity of the end. It assumes that all who censure the conduct of general Wilkinson, must be friendly to Burr and the other conspirators. The violation of the laws and constitution is a crime, let it be committed for what purpose it may. Every true federalist will, as we do, earnestly desire that Burr and his associates may be punished if guilty—but will desire at the same time that they may be legally punished, and that the ends of justice may be obtained, without the worst of evils, a deliberate violation of the chartered rights of the citizen. Federalists will not agree to violate the laws and constitution even for the attainment of justice. — Democrats will not only violate the laws to obtain justice, but violate them with greater appetite if the relish of the illegality be heightened to their palate by the sauce of injustice. By the laws, persons accused of treason are ordained to be tried where the crime was committed. General Wilkinson sends men off to be tried in a distant place—in fact in another country—committing thereby that very outrage which was one of the most just grounds of complaint against England, on which the "revolutionary war was waged." Had the British government dared to take such a step during the sedition of 1793 and 1794—Had it sent Tichai, Took, Hardy, Holcroft, &c. to Ireland or Scotland to be tried, these good citizens would certainly have been convicted; but the crown dared not. It appears however, that the grand jury of the Mississippi territory, perfectly agree with us, as their presentment shews.

GARDENS.
Ploughing Gardens late in the fall, during the winter, or early in the spring, has a beneficial tendency in destroying worms, and causing the eggs of various insects, lodged in the ground to freeze. Many farmers believe they have experienced great benefit from this management.
Noah Webster, esq. whose "useful labors" are equal to his indefatigable pursuit of literature, recommends that the loose bark on fruit trees be carefully scraped off in the fall: this destroys the eggs of many insects, deposited for shelter during the winter; and at the same time, "nothing is better for a fruit tree than to keep the bark smooth, clean and healthy."
Agriculture hail! The first, the last, my eager muse shall sing. And see where bursting through the gloom of night, The solar rays with steady step advance. Hark! Their approach the feathered choir announce In sweetest notes. The varied melody Herds, flocks increase.
Farmer, awake! Swift let the plough divide the glebe, and tame The genius of the soil. On thee depends A family's support. Thy partner Stands smiling at the door; around her throng Her ruddy offspring; one she holds aloft; To thee directs his eyes.
Oft as the citizen, Envelop'd long in the town's mucky fog, And breathing air corrupted, sallies forth To view the beauties of the hill and dale, The vocal forest and the teeming glebe— Unusual transports on the senses rush; Trade's anxious care he for a while desists— Around the stranger flocks the infant tribe: And whilst the glittering buckle charms their sight, The shining vest, and gold encircled hat— With equal wonder he beholds their cheeks Glowing in all the luxury of health.

GEOGRAPHICAL COMPILATION
For the Use of Schools.
