LETTER FROM MR. MONROE, TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE, DATED, RICHMOND, February 8, 1808.
Accompanying the message of the President of the U. States, to Congress, on the 22d March.
[CONTINUED.]  The 13th article relates to the search of merchant vessels, and differs from the 19th of the treaty of 1794, in the introductory sentence, which enjoins it on the commanders of ships of war and privateers, to observe in the course of the war, which may then exist, as much as possible the acknowledged rules and principles of the law of nations; and also in the penal sum [which it increases] to be given by the commanders of privateers before they receive their commissions, as a security for their good conduct under them. It was supposed that in this as in a preceding case the law remained untouched, and the stipulation produced no other effect, than to enjoin it on the governments respectively, to be particularly attentive to the conduct of its officers in the respect alluded to.
The 13th article and the paper of the British commissioners of the 31st of December, 1806, obviously look to the Russian convention, as the standard of the acknowledged law respecting the search of merchant vessels and blockade. That instrument was held constantly in view on both sides, in every discussion on those subjects, and indeed on every other to which it extends, and its doctrine admitted, especially in those, to be the established law. We were extremely desirous, and used our best exertions, to introduce articles to the same effect, into our treaty, but it was utterly impossible to accomplish it. It must however be allowed that if engagements of the kind alluded to, especially in regard to blockade, for which there was a special document, would not be observed, that it would be useless to stipulate them by treaty.
On the subject of the 17th article I have already made some remarks under another head. I cannot think that a stipulation to receive the ships of war of each party hospitably into the ports of the other, restrains them from limiting the number of ships to be admitted at one time, or from designating the ports to which they shall be admitted. A stipulation to admit them solely, as I presume, the principle, that they shall be admitted, and leaves open to arrangement the other points connected with it. This opinion is supported by a passage in the article itself, as to the ports which secures to vessels which might be driven by stress of weather, &c. into ports not open to them in ordinary cases, an hospitable reception in such ports. Had the right to designate the ports been given up by the general stipulation, there would have been no necessity for that contained in this passage. The remark is equally applicable to the other case, that of the number to be admitted at one time. As that must be an affair of special and strict regulation, an exception which admitted more, by securing rights to them in case they entered, would necessarily defeat the limitation itself.
The stipulation which relates to the good treatment of the officers of each party in the ports of the other, being reciprocal, contains no reflection on one which is not applicable to the other: and I will venture to affirm that it is equally necessary in regard to Great Britain as to the United States. It is well known in respect to the latter, that the passions, which were excited by the Revolution, did not long survive the struggle; that the sword was no sooner sheathed, than the calamities of the war were forgotten. The injured are always the first to forgive. It is however, just to remark that time has essentially effaced, from the people of both nations, the hostile impression which that arduous conflict produced.
The 23d article was thought to contain an useful stipulation by securing to the U. S. the advantages in navigation and commerce, which Great Britain might afterwards grant to any other nation. That stipulation was obviously founded on the right of the most favored nation, and subject of course to the condition incident to it. It amounts to this, that if Great Britain should concede any accommodation to another power in commerce with the East or West India colonies, or any other part of her dominions, gratuitously, the U. S. would be entitled to it on the same terms; but if she made such accommodation in consideration of certain equivalents to be given her in return, that the U. S. would not be entitled to those advantages without paying the equivalents. The doctrine is
the same in its application to the U. S. If they could grant any privileges in trade to France or Spain for admission into their West India colonies, Great Britain would be entitled to the same, provided she admitted the U. S. into her islands also, and not otherwise. I could not perceive therefore how it was possible that the U. S. should be injured by the stipulation contained in this article; while it was probable that they might derive some advantage from it. It could not restrain them from passing a navigation act to place them on an equal footing with Great Britain, especially if it was made general or applied only to her and the other nations having such acts. The right to pass such an act was not taken away by any other stipulation in the treaty, and there was nothing in this article that had such a tendency. The terms "shall continue to be on the footing of the most favored nation, &c." refer to the principles established by the preceding articles and not to the existing laws or regulations of either party. If the latter was the case, it would follow, that the tonnage duties, the discriminating duties, &c. would remain as they were. The preceding articles were intended, in the points to which they extended, to establish a standard of equality between the parties, to which the regulations of each, whether they exceeded or fell short of it, should be brought. It could not be doubted that the British export duty was of the first description, that it violated the principle of the most favored nation. The British commissioners admitted the fact, and did not pretend to justify it on that ground. They urged in its favor only, that the same duty was imposed on exports to their own colonies in America, and that if any change was made in it, to satisfy the claim of the U. S. on the principle of the right of the most favored nation, it would be to raise it on the goods exported to other countries, not to reduce it on those sent to the U. S. The principle, however, established by this article, being applicable to that duty, it was to be presumed that it might fairly be relied on to obtain a modification of it, either by reducing the duty on exports to the U. S. or raising it on those to other nations. There is nothing in this article to restrain the U. S. from adopting measures to counteract the British policy with respect to the West Indies. If that object had not been secured by a special article, from the possibility of being affected by the others, the principle, established by the present one, could not have affected it, otherwise than beneficially.
[To be continued.]
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, April 25
[CONTINUED.]
FIVE O'CLOCK.
The house met; and postponed indefinitely a number of bills.
The bill from the senate to authorise the President under certain contingencies to suspend the non-importation law having been called up, and a motion having been made to postpone it indefinitely,
Mr. Newton begged the house to consider one moment before they had postponed this bill. They had already passed a law authorising the President of the United States to suspend the operation of the embargo law, in the event of a general peace, or such accommodation to neutrals as should render the commerce of the United States safe. Now in the event of that law being suspended it might also be proper to suspend this.
Mr. Nelson said he should never vote for the repeal or suspension of this law. He hoped to see the time when it should become a permanent regulation; he would not yield to any of the powers of Europe, and he wished to be independent of them. There were many things now imported from Europe, which could as well be made in our own country. If they could be as well made, he considered it sound policy to give a preference to our own manufactures, and so far to prohibit theirs as to effect a preference of our own. Whether in this principle I am right or wrong, said he, I am certainly right in this: that at this late period of the session it is impossible to discuss such a question as this, and therefore I wish the motion to prevail.
Mr. Burwell said, he would add but a single observation to those of the gentleman just sat down. He was in favor of postponing the bill indefinitely, because he wished it to be understood that we have a right to make all regulations we please respecting our commerce, or trade, or aught else, without consulting the dispositions of any power whatever. He wished it to be understood here and elsewhere; and therefore he was in favor of postponement of this bill.
Mr. Marion said he was one of those who originally voted for the non-importation law,
and he had never repented his vote; but he voted for it under a firm persuasion, that it would go into operation. It had been afterwards suspended because there was a negotiation pending and a prospect of accommodation; but if it were the determination never rather see it repealed. If it were to be kept in suspension, hung up like a rod in terram, it would merit ridicule. What cause could there be for suspending it at present? If it were the understanding of a majority that the bill should not go into operation, he hoped they would propose a repeal of it.
Mr. Newton believed he was as much opposed as his friend from Maryland or Virginia to concede any point to Great Britain or France. He would wear sack-cloth and ashes for the remainder of his life, rather than surrender one atom to either of those powers. But what had produced this law? The violation of our commerce and impressment of our seamen. If any change should cause Great Britain to desist, was there any impropriety in trusting the president with a discretion to say that the operation of the law should cease till the next session of congress? Certainly not. He wished to see the day with his friend from Maryland, when every man in these walls and in the U. S. should be clad in the fabrics of his own country; and he made no doubt when once established that the manufactures of this country would afford every thing necessary for supplies of every kind. But that was not the case yet; and for that reason they had already invested the president with a discretionary power to suspend the embargo law; and he considered it a proper reason for the passage of this law.
Mr. Eppes said, it appeared that the question of suspension of the non-importation act, was very different from that of a suspension of the embargo. The former was a measure of coercion on Great Britain, and whether it had that effect or not, he believed at the time that the law was passed, that the only way in which we could operate on that power was by commercial restrictions. And he felt now free to declare, that if ample reparation were made for the outrage on the Chesapeake, if the decrees were withdrawn and every injury redressed, that he would hold on upon the non-importation act so long as the impressment of our seamen remained. Whenever you take off this, said he, you have nothing to enforce your rights as to impressment, nor as to that system of commercial pillage which has been adopted by Great Britain. We know that the embargo was imposed as a measure of safety. It was to give us time to make preparation to meet the event. If the decrees which produced the embargo are withdrawn the embargo may be withdrawn with propriety. But let me ask any gentleman whether he believes that any circumstance which produced the non-importation act will be removed? Whether they believe that Great Britain will give up her system of impressing seamen? If he does, let him look at the course she has adopted.
After appointing a minister to negotiate with you, she has issued a proclamation, establishing the right of impressment on its broadest footing. Shortly after it was declared by the king at the opening of parliament to be one of those rights which never could nor ever would be admitted. I was originally in favor of the non-importation law, and I am still so. If gentlemen take into consideration all the circumstances which produced the law, I will venture to say that there is not a man in the house originally in favor of it who can now vote for its suspension. It has never yet been fairly in operation. It is now indeed a law of the land, but its operation is virtually suspended by the embargo. I am in favor of its going into operation, and never will consent to its suspension till its intended effect be fulfilled, or the experiment is made.
The question of indefinite postponement was carried 58 to 29. On motion of Mr. G. W. Campbell, Resolved, That a joint committee be appointed to wait on the president of the U. S. and inform him of the proposed adjournment of congress.
Messrs. G. W. Campbell & Nicholas were appointed the committee.
Mr. Bibb said that notwithstanding the difference of opinion which had taken place occasionally between the members of this house, during the present session, on questions of policy, he was pleased to perceive that no difference of sentiment existed in regard to the injuries done us by foreign nations. He believed that but one spirit actuated the people of the U. States—that they were attached to their country and to their country alone. He wished not only by professions, but by practice to show foreign nations that we can live without them. He therefore offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the members of the house of representatives will appear at their next meeting, clothed in the manufactures of their own country.
This was supported by Messrs. Bibb and Eppes, and opposed by Messrs. Macon

and Res. When Mr. Bibb said, he had not expected an objection would be made to the resolution but as it had produced debate he withdrew it.
The house adopted several resolutions making additional compensation to door-keeper, assistants, &c. for extra services.
Mr. Coles, the secretary of the president of the United States, informed the house that the president had no further or other communication to make to them.
Mr. Smilie moved that the house do adjourn. Agreed, nem. con.
The SPEAKER (general Varnum) Permit me gentlemen, to wish you a pleasant journey home, and a happy meeting with your families and friends. This house is adjourned till the first Monday in November next.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
MONDAY, MAY 2.
"A Voter in Ward No. 2," is received—I certainly feel no delicacy with respect to the subject of the animadversions contained in it, and should have had no hesitation in publishing them had they been handed in time for Saturday's paper.—At this late hour it would be of no avail, as the election will be nearly over before the papers will be handed to the voters in that ward.
Extracts from letters received at Philadelphia.
"Havannah, April 10, 1808. The object of the present serves to inform you, that flour is up now to 26 dollars per barrel and that all kind of Silesia linens sell to a good advantage, the market being quite bare of this article; wherefore, if you find an opening to make a shipment thereof, before any other shipments arrive, you will avail of the favorable prices offered at present, but soon after the embargo is off your imported goods will decline, and our products rise at least 25 per cent, which please let serve for your government. As that I am most respectfully."
"Kingston, [Jam.] March 29, 1808. There is not any arrival from your quarter. We now begin seriously to feel the effects of your embargo. Flour is now retailing at 30 dollars per barrel, corn meal at 16 dollars; rice 12 and 13 dollars per 100 lbs.—The latter article was sold yesterday at 11 1/2 by the fifty tierses! What we will do here shortly God only knows. Nothing is the theme at present but war between America and England. I cannot allow myself to think that this is the case, tho' it seems the general opinion. Yesterday a new governor arrived (say the duke of Manchester,) and London papers to the 25th ult. They are silent as to the difference between your country and G. Britain. A cargo of lumber would now sell well. Shingles, in particular, would pay handsomely. I would advise you to send a cargo of them the very first opening. Corn and fish are the only articles that do not rise rapidly. This is to be accounted for from the great quantity at market, and the abundant provisions."
"A sloop Poplar, has arrived at Philadelphia from Grenada, and brings a Grenada paper of the 30th ultimo, which contains an account of a most dreadful FIRE at Port Spain, Trinidad, on the 24th March, nearly the whole of which place was destroyed, leaving the inhabitants in the most distressing situation, threatened, as they were with famine. On this occasion, gov. H. issued a proclamation, bearing date the 25th, the next day after the fire, opening the whole of the ports in the island for the introduction of provisions and lumber for four months, with permission to export any of the productions of the island. Martial law was also declared, and the suffering inhabitants, bearing arms, to be furnished with rations in the same proportion as H. B. M. troops. Vessels had been dispatched to the different islands for supplies of provisions and lumber."
By the brig Hope, captain Andrews, arrived on Monday 18th inst. at Marblehead
from Gijon in Spain, in the bay of Biscay, we have news from that country to the 10th of last month. It appears that the city of Pampleuse, in the kingdom of Navarre and that of Figueras in the principality of Catalonia, had been garrisoned with French troops, with the consent and by order of the king of Spain, and therefore without any opposition from the commandant of the same: that the Rochefort fleet had joined that of Carthagena, consisting of 10 ships of the line, &c. and have proceeded thence jointly to Toulon;—that the general opinion of the best informed class in Spain was that the prince of Asturias, the heir apparent of the throne, would be married to Miss Beauharnois, daughter of the ambassador, a niece of the empress of France; and that Murat had already arrived in Madrid, no doubt preparatory to the coming of the emperor and the consummation of the said event, together with other arrangements, such as allotting Portugal as a dowry to his said niece. There were in Ferrol 5 ships of the line, one new, of 120 guns, and 3 frigates ready for sea.
WAR—AND PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENCE A LA JEFFERSON.
In the debates in congress on a bill from the senate to require the president to arm the frigates and vessels of war of the U. S. Mr. Smilie, a good democrat, and one in the secret of the cabinet, says he does not expect war this summer—after the summer then he does expect it.
Mr. Adams, a bran new democrat, says that it is probable France or England will declare war before the first of November next.
Now for the means of preparation and defence—
1. The merchants are prohibited from arming.
2. Mr. Williams, a good democrat, and member from S. Carolina, said he would go farther to see the navy burned than to extinguish the fire.
3. Another democrat says if we had no navy we should not have had an attack on the Chesapeake. Another says if we have a navy we must have taxes; and a third, that he would never vote for federal measures.
So that when we are on the point of a war we are to burn the navy and to take no measures for security, because they would incur expence and be a federal measure.
How can we be saved unless we can change our rulers and put in their place true Americans, men who will consider only what is for the safety, independence and honor of their country?

STATE PAPER.
CONVENTION
Between his Britannic majesty and the king of Sweden—signed at Stockholm on the 8th February 1808.
The consequence of the treaty of Tilsit, between Russia and France, unfolding themselves more and more, in such a manner as to threaten Sweden with a speedy invasion, for the purpose of forcing her to accede to the French system; and his Swedish majesty finding himself therefore under the necessity of bringing forward to resist its effects, a greater force than he has at his ordinary disposal. His Britannic majesty, animated with the constant desire of contributing to the defence and security of his ally, and of supporting him by every means in a war undertaken for the mutual interests of both states, has determined to give to his Swedish majesty an immediate aid in money, as being the most prompt and efficacious, to be paid from time to time at fixed periods; and their majesties having judged it expedient, that a formal convention with regard to their reciprocal intention, in this respect, should be concluded, they have for this purpose appointed their respective plenipotentiaries; that this is to say—In the name and on the part of his majesty the king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: Edward Thornton, esq. his envoy extraordinary, and minister plenipotentiary to his majesty the king of Sweden; and in the name and on the part of his majesty the king of Sweden, the baron D'Ehrenheim, president in chancery, and commander of the order of the Polar Star, who after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, have agreed upon the following articles—
Article 1. His majesty the king of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland engages that there shall be paid to his
majesty the king of Sweden the sum of twelve hundred thousand pounds sterling, in equal instalments of one hundred thousand pounds sterling each, per month, beginning with the month of January of the present year inclusively, and to continue successively in the course of each month, the first of which instalments shall be paid on the ratification of the present convention by his Swedish majesty.
2. His majesty the king of Sweden engages on his part to employ the said sum in putting into motion, and keeping on a respectable establishment, all his land forces, and such parts as shall be necessary of his fleet, and particularly his flotilla, in order to oppose the most effectual resistance to the common enemies.
3. Their said majesties moreover engage to conclude no peace, or truce, convention of neutrality, with the enemy, but in concert and by mutual agreement.
4. The present convention shall be ratified by the two high contracting parties, and its ratification shall be exchanged at London within the space of six weeks after the signature of the present convention, or sooner if it can be done.
In faith whereof we, the undersigned plenipotentiaries of their said majesties, have signed the present convention, and have caused the seal of our arms to be affixed thereto.
Done at Stockholm, the 8th of February, in the year of redemption one thousand eight hundred and eight.
(L. S.) EDWARD THORNTON. (L. S.) F. EHRENHEIM.
SEPARATE ARTICLE
The two high contracting parties have agreed to concert, as soon as possible, the measures to be taken, and the auxiliary succors to be stipulated for, in the case of a war actually taking place between Sweden and the powers her neighbors; and the stipulations which may thence result shall be considered as separate and additional articles of this convention, and shall have the same force as if they were word for word inserted therein.
In faith of which, we, the undersigned plenipotentiaries of their majesties, have signed this separate article, and have caused the seal of our arms to be affixed thereto.
Done at Stockholm, the 8th of February, in the year of Redemption one thousand eight hundred and eight;

AT A MEETING of the Board of Directors of the Mutual Assurance So- ciety against Fire on buildings of the state of Virginia, held at the general office on the 1st of March 1808.
WHEREAS, it is represented to the board of Directors, that many persons who have heretofore been members of the Mutual As- surance Society against Fire on Buildings of the state of Virginia, who have ever been at- tached to the principles on which it is found- ed but for causes now no longer existing, have withdrawn from the same, are now desirous of again becoming members thereof.
Resolved, That all such persons still holding buildings which they have heretofore insured in this institution, or the assignees and trans- ferees of such insurance, shall be permitted, and they are hereby authorised to constitute themselves members thereof, upon the follow- ing terms, to wit.
That, they shall first pay into the hands of the cashier general, all such quotas and pre- miums with interest and costs, if any have accrued, as they had not paid at the date of their withdrawal; but which they would have been liable to have paid, had they not with- drawn; and secondly, that they should pro- ceed to revalue their property instantly, cause a declaration of revaluation to be made out and returned to the general office of insurance, and pay the additional premium which may be due, if any; upon a compliance with these conditions, such persons shall be entitled to a new policy, and shall be as completely insured as if they had not withdrawn, or as if they had become members by obtaining a new declara- tion, and entering as new members thereby.

Mount-Washington for Sale.
I will sell my FARM in Fairfax county, and give immediate possession. It is less than three miles from Alexandria, and six from the George-Town ferry—the distance from the projected bridge will be less—The house stands on an elevated hill, and over- looks the City, Alexandria, the river, with the shore, and hills of Maryland. The house which I erected, and is nearly finished, con- sists of a center house two stories high, and wings of one, joined to it, by circular cor- ridors, the north wing contains 2 small rooms, the front of it, and the corridor adjoining, intended for a green house, this leads to a drawing room—a dining room separated from it by the passage and stair-case, is next to the south corridor which contains 3 closets, and leads to the kitchen—two small rooms in this wing with the kitchen—a pump of excel- lent water at the door. The second story of the center house contains 3 chambers and a dressing room, with fire places—a large closet adjoins the dining room—one of the same size opens on the stair case, both fitted up with shelves—a store room in the garret, and cupulo on the house top, from whence is seen a delightful, variegated landscape, completes the description of the mansion house. A neat cottage accommodates laborers, and there are stables, a carriage house, and ice house; the farm contains 103 acres, 70 enclosed and cul- tivated, the rest in wood; this place boasts the finest collection of fruit that I have seen, besides every other sort; the list given to me was 800 apples, 800 peaches, and 300 cherry trees: I have added several hundred of the best kinds.—The garden consists of 12 large squares, the soil enriched and borders filled with fruit trees, and bushes; it is surrounded by a live cedar hedge, which also extends on each side of the house: the former proprie- tor possessed much taste, and collected many ornamental trees and shrubs, which are judi- ciously disposed about the grounds. The soil is suitable for grass, and the portion of ground devoted to timothy and clover, yield an abundant crop; it produced good wheat and oats last year, and I think with small ex- pence may be rendered productive. Those who wish a residence, where health will be preserved, and convenience of intercourse with Alexandria, George-Town, and the seat of government, will find all cour- tesy and import the terms of sale, upon Mount-Washington. I will shew the premises by letters directed to the Post- office, Alexandria. ELIZA P. LAW.
