PROPOSALS, BY A. DAVIS & J. DIXON, FOR REPRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE MARCH AND APRIL MONTHLY, THE
DEBATES AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION OF VIRGINIA. To which will now be annexed, A COPIOUS INDEX.
CONDITIONS. I. This work shall be printed with a neat type, on good paper, in one large octavo volume, and contain upwards of 600 pages. II. It will be bound in boards, and delivered to subscribers at the moderate price of Three Dollars and a Half. III. To those who wish to have their copies elegantly bound gilt and lettered, the price will be Four Dollars. IV. The price will be considerably enhanced to non-subscribers.
TO THE PUBLIC. THE above publication was procrastinated on account of the copy-right being vested in Mr. Davis, who has now agreed to print the book in conjunction with the subscriber. The public are therefore respectfully informed, that the work will be put to press, so soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to indemnify the expense of paper. Upon an accurate calculation, the price mentioned in the former proposals was found too small; the subscriber has thought proper to enhance it, and he hopes that those who first intended to patronize the undertaking, will not on that account withhold their support, for so trivial an alteration.

DEBATE
On the bill received from the Senate, entitled "An Act to repeal certain acts respecting the organization of the courts of the United States."
(Mr. Bayard in continuation.)
The assumption of the state debts has been made an article of distinct crimin-ation. It has been ascribed to the worst motives; to a design of increasing a dependent monied interest. Is it not well known, that those debts were part of the price of the revolution? That they rose in the exigency of our affairs, from the efforts of the particular states, at times when the federal arm could not be extended to their relief? Each state was entitled to the protection of the union, the defence was a common burthen and every state had a right to expect that the expenses attending its individual exertions in the general cause, would be reimbursed from the public purse. I shall be permitted further to add that the United States, having absorbed the sources of state revenue, except direct taxation, which was required for the support of the state governments, the assumption of these debts were necessary to save some of the states from bankruptcy.
The internal taxes are made one of the crimes of the federal administration. They were imposed, says the gentleman, to create an host of dependents on executive favour. This supposes the past administration to have been not only very wicked, but very weak. They lay taxes in order to strengthen their influence. Who is so ignorant as not to know that the imposition of a tax would create an hundred enemies for one friend? The name of excise was odious; the details of collection were unavoidably offensive, and it was to operate upon a part of the community least disposed to support public burthens, and most ready to complain of their weight. A little experience will give the gentleman a new idea of the patronage of this government. He will find it not that dangerous weapon in the hands of the administration which he has heretofore supposed it, he will probably discover that the poison is accompanied by its antidote. And that an appointment of the government, while it gives to the administration one lazy friend, will raise up against it ten active enemies.
No! The motives ascribed for the imposition of the internal taxes is as unfounded, as it is uncharitable. The federal administration is creating burthens to support the credit of the nation, and to supply the means of its protection, knew that they risked the favour of, those upon whom
their favor depended. They were willing to be the victims when the public good required.
The duties on imports and tonnage furnished a precarious revenue; a revenue at all times exposed to deficiency from causes beyond our reach. The internal taxes offered a fund less liable to be impaired by accident; a fund which did not rob the mouth of labour, but was derived from the gratifications of luxury. These taxes are an equitable distribution of the public burthens. Through this medium the western country is enabled to contribute something to the expenses of a government which has expended and daily expends such large sums in its defence. When these taxes were laid they were indispensable. With the aid of them it has been difficult to prevent an increase of the public debt. And notwithstanding the fair prospects which now dazzle our eyes, I undertake to say, if you abolish them this session, you will be obliged to restore them or supply their place by a direct tax before the end of two years. Will the gentleman say, that the direct tax was laid in order to enlarge the bounds of patronage. Will he deny that this was a measure to which we had been urged for years by our adversaries, because they foresaw in its administration will ever be strengthened by patronage united with taxes which the people are sensible of paying.
We were next told, that to get an army an Indian war was necessary. The remark was extremely bold, as the honorable gentleman did not allege a single reason for the position. He did not undertake to state, that it was a wanton war, or provoked by the government. He did not even venture to deny, that it was a war of defence, and entered into in order to protect our brethren on the frontiers from the bloody scalping knife, and murderous tomahawk of the savage. What ought the government to have done? Ought they to have estimated the value of the blood which probably would be shed, and the amount of the devastation likely to be committed before they determined on resistance? They raised an army and after great expense and various fortune they have secured the peace and safety of the frontiers. But, why was the army mentioned on this occasion, unless to forewarn us of the fate which awaits them, and to tell us, that their days are numbered? I cannot suppose, that the gentleman mentioned this little army distributed on a line of three thousand miles, for the purpose of giving alarm to three hundred thousand free and brave yeomanry ever ready to defend the liberties of the country.
The honorable gentleman proceeded to inform the committee, that the government availing itself of the depredations of the Algerines, created a navy. Did the gentleman mean to insinuate that this war was invited by the United States? Has he any documents or proof to render the suspicion colorable? No, sir, he has none. He well knows that the Algerine aggressions were extremely embarrassing to the government. When they commenced, we had no marine force to oppose them. We had no harbors or places of shelter in the Mediterranean. A war with these pirates could be attended with neither honor nor profit. It might cost a great deal of blood, and in the end it might be feared that a contest so far from home, subject to numberless hazards and difficulties, could not be maintained. What would gentlemen have had the government to do? I know there are those who are ready to answer—abandon the Mediterranean trade. But would this have done? The corsairs threatened to pass the Straights, and were expected in the Atlantic. Nay, sir, it was thought that our very coasts would not have been secure.
Will the gentleman go farther and say, that the United States ought to relinquish their commerce. I believe this opinion has high authority to support it. It has been said, that we ought to be only cultivators of the earth, and make the nations of Europe our carriers.
This is not an occasion to examine the solidity of this opinion; but I will only ask, admitting the administration were disposed to turn the pursuits of the people of this country from the ocean to the land, whether there is a power in the government, or whether there would be if we were as strong as the government of Turkey, or even of France, to accomplish the object? With a sea coast of 1700 miles, with innumerable harbors and inlets, with a people enterprising beyond example, is it possible to say, you will have no ships nor sailors, nor merchants. The people of this country will never consent to give up their navigation, and every administration will find themselves constrained to provide means to protect their commerce.
In respect to the Algerines the late administrations were singularly unfortunate. They were obliged to fight or pay them. The true policy was to hold a purse in one hand and a sword in the other. This was the policy of the government. Every commercial nation in Europe was tributary to these petty barbarians. It was not esteemed disgraceful. It was an affair of calculation, and the administration made the best bargain in their power. They have heretofore been scandalized for paying tribute to a pirate, and now they are criminated, for preparing a few frigates, to protect our citizens from slavery and chains. Sir, I believe on this and many other occasions if the finger of heaven had pointed out a course and the government had pursued it, yet, that they would not have escaped the censure and reproaches of their enemies.

[From the New-York Daily Advertiser.]
By the ship William, captain Gardiner arrived yesterday in 34 days from London, papers have been received till the 4th of May, inclusive.
Whole pages of the London prints are occupied with the details of the Procession, of the ILLUMINATIONS, of entertainments, feastings, on the proclamation of peace—"of universal peace by sea and land." An account of the procession has already appeared in our paper. Of the illuminations, Mr. Otto's house in Portman square was the object of universal attraction, curiosity was amply gratified, and, succeeded by admiration. The whole front of the house was in a blaze of light; if any censure could be uttered, there was richness to oppress and bewilder the eye; it was a sheet of fire, rather than the clear strong marked separation of different parts combining in a general effect. Lord Hawkesbury did not emulate the splendor of his rival negotiator; his lordship's house in Sackville street was illuminated in a very plain style. Drury Lane Theatre was superb beyond the powers of description; the immense size of the building, and its towering elevation above all those that surrounded it afforded the proprietors prodigious advantages, which they improved with the greatest spirit; they may be compared to the distinguished members of the ancient republics, who at their own expense gave magnificent shows to their fellow citizens. The inhabitants of Athens or of Rome never received more pleasure from a namumy or a fight of gladiators, than the populace of London from Drury Lane Theatre. The Bank of England was most superbly illuminated with about 12,000 variegated lamps, which presented a very brilliant appearance. Transparent paintings and emblematic devices ornamented the Phoenix Fire Office, which produced the most striking effect. The fancy of individuals was variously displayed and indefinitely diversified. Taste as well as humor prevailed. The number of people moving about the streets was immense, the estimation was from 4 to 500,000 on the pavements; the evening was favorable, and the streets perfectly dry and comfortable to pedestrians. Many of those who soared in carriages were miserably disappointed; the streets were completely wedged up & the passengers within were compelled to sit in one spot for hours. Accidents, as are usual on these occasions, occurred, more of the ludicrous than serious; several lost their hats, some their shoes and others had their clothes torn. Pickpockets abounded and were very successful. The only molts of any consequence was before Mr. Colbet's house, Pall Mall, which not being illuminated, was assailed and damaged; the ringleaders were secured and committed.
[From the Mercantile Advertiser.]
Ship William, Capt. Gardiner, in 34 days from London and 22 from the Downs, arrived at this port yesterday. Papers by this vessel to the evening of the 4th of May are received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
They inform us that the Mondovi brig arrived at Malta from Egypt on the 28th February, with intelligence of the mameluke chiefs having retired to Upper Egypt, and declared war against the Porte. Several bloody actions had taken place between them and the Grand Vizier, with various success. Sir Richard Bickerton was on the point of setting sail from Malta for Alexandria, to endeavor to put an end to these hostile operations.
The Hospodar of Wallachia has been defeated, and his army dispersed by Pasha Ogloz.
A convention dated the 2nd March has been concluded between the emperor of Germany and the Sublime Porte, by which the Ottoman government engages to protect against the attacks of the Barbary States all vessels belonging to subjects of his imperial majesty which shall be provided with a Turkish sirman.
A letter from the Hague says that the English government has sent orders to the Moluccas to transport, before the British troops evacuate the island, all the seeds and plants of spices to Jamaica and Trinidad. Thus the commerce in spices, which the Dutch have hitherto enjoyed exclusively, and which has so materially contributed to enrich their merchants, will be now divided with Great Britain.
A conversation of considerable importance took place in the British House of Commons on the night of Monday the 24th of May. Mr. Windham stated his reasons for giving notice of a motion respecting the definitive treaty, and entered into a detail of the objections which had been thrown out at different times in both houses by gentlemen of his opinion. Mr. Pitt defended the definitive treaty against Mr. Windham's attack, but reserved the full statement of his arguments until the promised motion should be made. He said, however, with respect to the apprehensions expressed for the safety of the British East-India dominion, in consequence of the non-renewal of former treaties, that not only no English member of parliament could find any solid ground of objection or uneasiness, but that no rival could discover a plausible pretence for cavil on that account. He defended generally the non-renewal treaties, and contended, that the advantage of the omission was as great on the part of England as France. Mr. Windham's notice was of a motion for Tuesday the 18th of May; but Mr. Addington moved, as an amendment, Tuesday the 11th. The reason he gave for this was, the necessity of terminating the work of peace (already so long suspended) as speedily as possible.
In the course of his observations respecting the definitive treaty, remarking on the cession of Louisiana to the French, Mr. Windham said, "by this acquisition on the French are established in a space as unbounded as the view it opens, whether north or south. What a present have we made in it to the Americans! We have placed a serpent at their feet, by which they will ultimately be devoured. We have put them in that state in which they must become willing slaves under the dominion of France. We all know something of human nature. We know that men detest the instrument less than the cause, and turn their resentment upon those whom they can make to feel it most. They will not of course hesitate between us and the French; and thus we shall eventually forfeit the friendship of America by the aggrandizement of the French in that quarter. As to the wealth which that establishment opens to them, it has no limits but their will. On the continent of South America there is no power that can resist them. There are the sources of the wealth of the world: but if gentlemen do not feel the consequence of their passing into the hands of the French, it would be in vain for me to impress them with an idea of their importance."
To this part of Mr. Windham's speech, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, (Mr. Addington) replied:
"In the climax of reasons that the iron gentleman had gone through, he laid considerable stress on the dangers which menaced the independency of the American States from the French having a settlement in Louisiana. Undoubtedly every accession to the French power in that part of the world, and every thing that threatened the independence of the United States was ground of serious apprehensions: but it was only from Louisiana that France could make the attack, if she had such power and was so disposed? Did the hon. gentleman pretend to say that if a large military force was sent to Guiana, it may not from thence be made to act with altogether as much effect? Did he mean to say that the attempt might not be made from St. Domingo, if that island was brought under proper subjection, and made the depot of an armament intended for that purpose; if finally, the countries themselves were not disposed to assert their own independence, and G. Britain was inclined to look tamely on? It was, therefore, not from Louisiana alone that the power of France was to be dreaded, but from many other quarters equally."
At the date of our last accounts from Paris, a new code of public instruction had been agreed to by the Tribunate, and was under discussion by the legislative body. The revolutionary names by which many of the public hospitals were distinguished, and which tended to destroy those recollections that encourage benevolence by doing honor to the benefactor, are to be abolished, and the original names restored.
The letter in the Aurora from North Carolina, concerning Cotton Manufacturing Machinery, merits every attention. There are in Philadelphia a number of persons capable of making that kind of machinery. One of them Mr. John Butler, Cotton Machine maker and plane maker, No. 111, North Third Street, Philadelphia, another is a Mr. Garlick from Great Britain. The flying spring or shuttle is made by Felix Crawford, cabinet maker, No. 364, South Second street, in Philadelphia. At Hartford, in Connecticut, and at Providence, Rhode-Island, the Perpetual Water Spinning and Carding Machine are made and in use. All those sorts of machinery are erected and used on the continent of Europe, from whence there is no difficulty in procuring them; particularly in France.
The price of cotton appears to have fallen in Europe, but it will be kept up by the exertion and multiplication of our own manufactures, and by the dropping of many woolen, linen and silk goods instead of them. Table cloths, napkins, diaper and huckaback are easily and well made of cotton, as well as other articles from cotton cambric to cotton blankets. If one nation will not make these things of our cotton another will. If none will, we must make them ourselves. We see New-England is wisely taking up the perpetual water spinning.

By the arrival at Philadelphia of the Snow George, Bell, in 10 days from the Cape, intelligence is received of TOUSSAINT's having REVOLTED —in consequence of which three divisions of Leclerc's troops had been engaged with the Blacks and very roughly handled; no quarter was given.
FOR THE VIRGINIA ARGUS.
To the LADIES who are ADMIRERS of the game of LOO.
SO arduous is the task which I am about to undertake, that I despair of success; but being conscious of the purity of my intentions, and knowing that the refined sensibility and exquisite taste of my fair readers will make an allowance for my want of abilities, I advance to the task with renovated spirits, while I beg permission to draw their attention to the following narrative.
Know then, that I am the daughter of a deceased father and mother, in whom in their youthful days, fortune smiled propitiously; that by their industry and economy they had procured a very handsome fortune, and for many years lived in the plenitude of happiness.—My mother was a woman who possessed a great stock of vivacity, and was extremely fond of company; she often invited large parties of her old acquaintances to her house, and always partook with the greatest pleasure of the animating conversation of them. My father was a sedate man of a plain education, & condescending manners, but was not fond of company; he often said, that he could spend the evening more agreeably with little JENNY upon his knee, than he could with all the company that frequented his house. In this manner they passed some time until the appetite of my mother grew so rapacious, her thirst for fame, and her wish to occupy a prominent station in the estimation of her female visitants, caused her to make such extravagant demands, that my father was constrained to reject them. To a woman who always before had her inclinations appeased, this was insupportable. She appealed in the most passionate manner for her wishes to be gratified, which my father was unable to deny a person whom he loved as himself. This made my father discontented, (to see the fortune which he had earned with the sweat of his brow, squandered away in the most superfluous and extravagant manner,) and even miserable to such a degree, that the animated conversation of my mother's visitants and all her apparent good humour, only served to heighten his uneasiness; for the peaceful shade of domestic happiness could not alleviate the distress of a man who did not participate in its blessings. He endured his uneasiness without divulging the cause of it to my mother, until his constitution became so much impaired from his excess of trouble, that he survived but a very short time. Thus from the indiscretion and unparallelled extravagancy of my mother, was brought to an untimely end, the most affectionate husband and indulgent parent.
My mother was very much afflicted at the cause of his death; but from her sprightly disposition soon conquered all thoughts of him. She now became one of the "tip top gentry" of the town; she was invited to their places of recreation, and soon became acquainted and enamoured with their amusements.—But alas! long shall I remember that fatal diversion which was the means of bringing to an untimely grave, its unfortunate admirer. The amusement I mean is the game of LOO; it was a practice so common with the ladies, that they always went prepared (when they visited each other) with as much money as would make a beggar as happy as a prince. Whole nights did they spend around the Loo-Table, seeking to deprive each other of their money; for some time my mother was fortunate; but at last the smiles of fortune banished from her, and she always came off considerably the loser; how often did I remonstrate with her against it! but she was, like all gamblers, impenetrable to the arrows of reason—The female mind when it imbibes any bad practice, is much harder to be driven from it, than that of the male. By the craft and duplicity of these female sharpers, her fortune was entirely broken; she was not afterwards noticed by any of them. Through dissipation (which is the copartner of gaming) and distress, she soon began to decay in health; all her former cheerfulness banished from her, and she seemed to be the most miserable creature on earth; and she was soon compelled to pay the awful debt of nature, leaving behind an helpless and forlorn orphan destitute of all subsistence; but that benificent Creator who rules the destinies of the universe, provided for me a benefactor whom I shall always revere with the most ardent attachment.
I have been thus concise, my fair readers, in the history of my misfortunes, to guard all of you against the cause of them. I have not been long an inhabitant of your city; and consequently, cannot be acquainted with your fashions and amusements; but I have heard that this shameful folly, is very much in vogue. Can you, after contemplating the misery which it brought on my family, have any desire to resort to this hereafter, as an amusement? Reason answers no. Let me conjure you to refrain from a practice which may involve your offspring into the abyss of distress, by the example which you present them! Let the term of the unfortunate JENNY DERMOT, consign it to oblivion! It is befitting the dignity of the ORNAMENT of an enlightened country, to follow the example
of gamblers, pickpockets, &c. I close the subject with a question, which I leave to the decision of my fair readers, as I am sure when they find their error, they will retract. Would not a party of ladies derive more satisfaction from the conversation of each other, than to be engaged in fleecing each other of their fortunes?
JENNY DERMOT.
The Lead Mines IN WYTHE COUNTY FOR SALE.

100 Dollars Reward.
Ran away from the subscriber on the 28th of May, 1800, a negro man named Jim or James, About 6 feet 1 or 2 inches high, 25 or 26 years old, tight black, thick lips, and remarkable big feet, with a bump upon the top of one of them, when he went off, as big as a hickory nut, which proceeded from a thorn being stuck nearly through. He stayed about Manchester until the month of August, from whence he went to City Point or Norfolk, and since I have heard of his going to Philadelphia and New-York on board of a vessel, which I am inclined to think he part of his time makes a practice of, and the balance of his time I am inclined to believe he works about Norfolk or City Point, or on board of the vessels. I have several different times heard from him, and he was always engaged in business of that nature. He had when he left Manchester, by some means or other obtained a free pass, and I suppose passes as a free man. I am satisfied of his having been to Manchester frequently since his departure, where he has a brother in the possession of Mrs. Leath, by the name of Simon, who I expect carried him down the river when he first went, and I have every reason to suppose he is at this time either at Norfolk or City Point. I will pay the above reward to any one that will deliver him to me in the upper end of Buckingham, 23 or 24 miles above the courthouse, or secure him in any jail in this state and give me information so that I get him again the sum of fifty dollars. I forewarn all masters of vessels from taking on board or carrying him out of this state. THOMAS LOGWOOD. May 16, 1802. (GW)

The owners of lands on Appomattox river are requested to examine within their limits, and remove such obstructions as are within the purview of the above recited extract, as the public interest requires it, and the Managers of the Upper Appomattox Company are determined to have the law rigorously executed, unless this notification shall be attended to within a reasonable time.

KNOWSLEY,
The most elegant and high formed English Horse, 15 hands 3 inches high, a fine bay, 6 years old last May, in great perfection and as to muscular strength and beauty not inferior to any horse in the flat, which will be readily acknowledged by those who will take a fair and impartial examination of him, full of vigor and entirely clear of blemish—will stand at my stable on Sandy Point the present season: and will cover Mares at Six Guineas, which may be discharged by the payment of Twenty Dollars on or before the 1st day of August next: Ten Guineas to insure a colt, and three by the leap, with one Dollar to the groom at the stable door for each mare, Mares may be fed at the market price of grain, in manner and quantity directed by the proprietor: Servants will be boarded without charge, and pasture (supplied gratis, equal in extent and goodness (if not superior) to any in the commonwealth, and laid out in different apartments, to be used by Mares in foal, those that have foals, and all others. (Sure gentlemen will find it greatly to their interest to avail themselves of such advantages, independent of the high consideration of gaining horses from so fine a stock. This horse has cost me on landing in this country upwards of seven hundred pounds sterling. which can be seen by reference to papers in my hands; and even at this price it was with difficulty he could be obtained, for my agent, a gentleman of great veracity, writes me he could have sold him for 175 Guineas more than the original purchase, which evidently proves the high estimation he was in.
PEDIGREE given by Lord Derby in the following words, viz. I do hereby certify, that the bay horse called KNOWSLEY , late the property of the Prince of Wales, was bred by me. He was got by Sir Peter Teazle out of Capella, and was six years old last May, and no more.
(Signed) DERBY. [Seal] Knowsley, June 15, 1801. CAPELLA was bred by general Parker, foaled in 1773, and was got by Herod—See General Stud Book page 40. Sir Peter Teazle was got by Highflyer, in 1784—See same book, page 189. Highflyer was got by Herod—See page 200—And on to he may be traced thro' a noble line of ancestors for ages past, without a single flaw in his genealogy, either on the male or female side.

MATHEW CAREY, No 118, Market-street, Philadelphia;
TAKES the liberty to submit to the public his Proposals for publishing a new edition of the FAMILY BIBLE,
The approbation with which its former edition has been favored, has been highly flattering, and equalled his most sanguine expectations. It was, however, printed under considerable disadvantages, none of which exist to affect the execution of the edition now contemplated. The experience acquired by the publication of the one, will enable him to render the other more complete—and he solemnly pledges himself, that neither care, attention, pains, nor expense shall be spared to render this edition perfectly satisfactory to the purchaser, and worthy the patronage of a liberal public. Placing full reliance on the punctuality of his subscribers, he dispenses with the customary mode of demanding a part of the subscription in advance. He will print the work at his own risk. But to avoid mistake or misapprehension, he gives this early and explicit notice, that the books must be paid for on delivery.

—WHICH SHALL CONTAIN— 1. The books of the Old Testament, the Apocrypha, and the New Testament, as translated by order of King James I. of England. 2.
