FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 22, 1805.
FIRE!—Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, a fire broke out in a frame house at the intersection of Commerce and Wide Water Streets...
The United States' Brig Hornet, Captain Chauncy, arrived in Hampton Roads from New-York, on Wednesday last.
The wind being this morning to the southward, it is expected the Congress frigate, will proceed to Washington, there to be repaired.
The papers which we have received by mail, add nothing to the information which has been received by the Eliza, Captain Smith, translated for, and published in our paper.
We observe an article in the Charleston papers, which more than any thing which we have seen, shews the deplorable condition of our commerce.

We learn that at the last term of Fayetteville Superior Court, the Grand Jury found two Bills of Indictment against the Honourable Duncan MacFarland...
We could not copy this article without blushing for the honour of our country, and that of republican institutions.
truly is, it may not be without some good. It will certainly warn the people against the arts of political imposters...
On the important subject of the Confederacy against France, which now assumes a bold and formidable aspect...
A more important subject than that which now engages the publick attention, relative to the grand confederacy, can scarcely be expected to exist.
Though France had boasted that England was unable to contend single-handed with her, England has shewn that she could singly continue a war with the "great nation," year after year...
It was proper, also, that the Usurper should have given further unequivocal proofs besides those we have mentioned, of the malignity of his designs.
We trust we may now congratulate the publick on the fairest prospect that has ever yet appeared, of the abridgment of that monstrous power, so formidable to all Europe.
The present confederacy is headed by two young and high spirited Monarchs, one of them the descendant and namesake of that hero, whose single arm once sustained the Protestant cause...
We have recommended, and we again recommend, in case of a new Continental Coalition, a magnanimous distinction between the Usurper and the people of France.
FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.
COURT OF APPEALS.
LAW REPORT—CONTINUED.
We gave an outline, in the last Enquirer, of the general principles of a case lately decided in the court of appeals...
Court of Appeals, Nov. 14th, 1805.
JAMES M. MARSHALL, appellant.
DANIEL CONRAD, appellee.
ROANE: Judge. This is an action of ejectment, brought by the appellant against the appellee for a
lot in the town of Winchester. The principal object of the suit, is to try the title of the appellant to a rent of 5s. per annum...
It is expressly agreed in the case before us, that the rent of 2s. per hundred acres reserved on land granted in the Northern Neck...
If this be the true standard, then the said 2s. rent is not a legal quit-rent: Then there never were any quit-rents in this country...
That understanding has thrown into the class of quit-rents, those rents reserved to the king, or proprietor, as the case may be...
I have said that the rent of 2s. per hundred acres on land was universally understood to be a quit-rent; but in this I am incorrect.
If there be any general passages in our laws or in any treatises upon our laws, which seem to confine the idea of quit-rent to the 2s. rent...
The rent before us entirely corresponds with the 2s. rent payable on lands in the Northern Neck in all its essential features...
I touch not those cases, in which lord Fairfax stood in any other relation, than merely lord of the fee. I touch not those, in which he had become a private proprietor.
Anxious to free our people from those inconsiderable though degrading rents which so strongly partook of a feudal nature...
were due to the private owners of the soil; which were of considerable amount; which bore some proportion to the actual value or profits of the lands...
I understand that this rent is now to be recovered on the principle that it is a ground rent: but I call on this court to show any instance of a ground rent...
Were it permitted to me to go out of this record, I would refer to the 6th finding in the case of Hunter vs Fairfax...
This word altogether taken in connection too with the large number of acres mentioned, strongly imports that Lord Fairfax had the fee simple property in no lands in the No. Neck...
Being clearly of opinion, upon the case before us, that the private property of the soil was not, nor could be acquired by L. Fairfax...
But whatever may be the case of the survey confessedly made for L. F.'s own use, the survey of the lots in addition to the town of Winchester...
I have said that the act of 1732 related not at all to any rights of property respecting the lot in question.
If L. F. anxious to accelerate the settlement of his territory, instead of waiting until private adventurers had found and entered for waste lands...
In the case before us, the very lot in question being vacant land, might prior to the survey by L. F. have been taken up by any individual.

anxious to enlarge the town and thus not only quicken the settlement of the adjacent country, and thus increase his revenue, but also to enhance the value of his own adjacent private property, did not choose to await that slow process, but laid off the land into lots, and invited purchasers. For his trouble herein, he was amply remunerated, by the high rate of composition, required on a grant of the land. Those were the motives, which operated on him in this business. Wherever he appropriated or reserved any lot or lots to his own private use, let those rights be respected; but let us carry it no further. Admit that in the case before us, the survey of lots suspended the general right of adventurers to survey it as waste land, that suspension was clearly taken by L. F.'s invitation to persons to take grants thereof. The question is not whether a suspension of this kind ever existed or not, but whether L. F. ever acquired or intended to acquire the private right of soil in the lot in question. Most certainly he did not.
(Judge Roane's opinion to be concluded in our next paper.)
NATCHEZ, October 8.
Perhaps there is no occasion which has excited a more lively concern in the publick mind than the outrages lately committed within the limits of our territory, on the persons of the Kempers. We are happy to be enabled to lay before our readers a summary of the enquiry and proceedings had before the hon. Judge Rodney, at Fort Adams, on the 25th and 26th ultimo.
From a full examination, it appeared, that on the night of the 3d September, about 12 o'clock, a body of men composed of whites, negroes, and persons in disguise, to the number of 19, armed with various weapons, broke open the house of Nathan Kemper, about two miles from Pinckneyville, and after much violence and great abuse, tied Nathan and his brother Rueben Kemper, who happened that night at his house. After having secured these two, a detachment of the party went in pursuit of Samuel Kemper, broke open his house and secured him in like manner with his brothers; shortly afterwards the parties united and forced the Kempers to go a few feet below the line of demarcation between the United States and the territory occupied by his catholic majesty; where they were received by a patrole guard of Spanish troops under the command of captain Solomon Alston. They were then conveyed to the Bayou Tunicau landing, there put on board a boat which was prepared to receive them, under a guard of six men, and ordered to Baton Rouge. In passing Point Coupee on their way down the river, the whole crew were taken by Lieut. Wilson, commanding that post.
Agreeable to the request and directions of the executive of this territory to Lieut. Wilson, the Spanish guard and the Kempers were sent under escort to Capt. Sparks, commanding officer at Fort Adams, there to await a judicial investigation. According to the orders of governor Williams they were all transferred to the civil authority.
It appeared further, that among the persons who were active above the line in securing the Kempers, some were citizens of the Mississippi Territory and others subjects of the king of Spain. Of the latter all escaped beyond the line or elsewhere, so soon as the Kempers were delivered to the Spanish guard. The majority of our citizens who were active in this flagrant breach of the laws and peace of our territory have also escaped. The only two who were in custody, were bound in a heavy penalty to appear at the November circuit court to stand their trial. The Kempers were bound to appear as witnesses, and to keep the peace especially towards the subjects of Spain. The negroes were adjudged to be tried in a summary manner, under the statute of this territory. The Spanish guard were released and directed to be conveyed into their own territory by a military escort. This disposition of the Spanish subjects was made from a knowledge of their having acted in obedience to the orders of their commanding officer, captain Alston, and the more especially as we are still in amity with Spain. Thus the matter rests at present.
We cannot but express our satisfaction at the conduct of our officers, executive and judicial, who have had the management of this business. From the prompt and energetic measures pursued by our governor, and the firmness which he has shown on this occasion, we have no doubt but spirited and decisive steps will always be adopted by him, to repress any outrage that may be attempted upon the citizens of this territory, by our treacherous neighbours, the Spaniards.
An outrage of a similar kind with that committed on the Kempers, but more hostile in its aspect was lately transacted by a party of Spanish subjects in our territory near the Tickfaw Creek.
A party of twelve Spanish light horse, part of capt. Jones's company armed with guns, pistols, and swords came to the house of Mr. Holden, about one mile above the line of demarcation, and in a violent and hostile manner threatened to put Holden and his family under guard; while they were acting in this manner, his son and others came home when Holden ordered them to get their guns and defend themselves—upon this the party rode off and came two miles further on this side the line to the house of a Mr. Flanagan, and in a violent and hostile manner took him and his wife prisoners, and carried them five miles below the line; there left them under guard all night and in the morning discharged the wife, but conveyed her husband fifteen miles further, took his horse, bridle and saddle and then dismissed him. The first part of this outrage was committed in open day.
We are informed that our governor has demanded an explicit and satisfactory explanation of this transaction from governor Grand Pre.
BOSTON, November 8.
Condemnation of the Indus.—The undersigned, David Myrick, late master of the ship Indus, of Boston, gives the following statement: That he was captured off Bermuda, on his passage from the Isle of France to Boston, on the 10th day of August last, by John P. Beresford, commanding his Britannick majesty's ship Cambrian, and ordered for Halifax; where the ship, Cargo, and the private adventures of the supercargo and master, were condemned on the 9th of October. The neutrality of the property was not questioned, for it clearly appeared to the court that both ship and cargo belonged solely to citizens of Boston; but it was urged, that it was contemplated to send the vessel and cargo to Embden, after her arrival in Boston, in consequence of directions given to the master when he left Boston, in June, 1804, to report on his arrival for Boston and Embden, (a neutral place!) which he understood was a precautionary measure, adopted by his owners to secure the option either of sending the cargo immediately to Europe, provided peace had taken place during the voyage from India to Boston, or to sell or re-ship, as might be for their interest, after arriving in Boston. The words of the owners I think are these, "and after you arrive within the light house of Boston, you may add the words, "and Embden" to your manifest, as this will not deprive us of the privilege of wholly unloading in Boston;" and this recommendation of the owners applied to another ship of the same name which was condemned at the Isle of France, and not the one carried into Halifax, as appeared in court on trial. It was unknown to the subscriber when he left America, that a Halifax judge had any jurisdiction in the harbour of Boston,
or that his owners could suffer for their intentions; for nothing was done or intended to be done, which the judge has taken on himself to consider criminal until the ship should arrive in the harbour of Boston. For no such manifest was ever made out, the bill of lading, invoice and clearance were all for Boston, where the ship was actually bound when captured as the captors acknowledged; yet the judge off hand condemned both the ship and cargo, together with the supercargo's and my own adventure, as property belonging to the enemies of Great Britain, and as such, or otherwise, a good prize to the Cambrian, because, he said, the owners in June, 1804, must have contemplated sending the property to Europe after it had arrived at Boston.
The crew of the Indus were turned on shore, destitute of the means of support and without the advantage of the provision made for prisoners of war, with the exception of one man, Isaac Dix, Virginia, who remains detained on board the frigate, and whose release, notwithstanding several applications to admiral Mitchel, I was unable to procure. The cruisers were all on the alert in consequence of this condemnation, and we may speedily expect to hear of important captures.
(Signed)
D. MYRICK.
Note.—The old ship Indus, on her last voyage from Batavia, and the ship Lydia, from the Isle of France, both belonging to same owners, entered in same manner as recommended in the above statement, as a precautionary measure against peace, and which manifests, always lodged at our custom house, will fully prove; but there being war when they arrived, both ships discharged in Boston, and neither of them went to Europe. This evidence however had not got down to Halifax when the ship Indus was condemned; and as the law of the United States was when the Indus left Boston for India, no ship could go to Europe, even in case of peace, after entering our port, without discharging provided the custom house had got possession of her manifest, and provided the manifest was for Boston only.
NANTZ, September 11.
INTERESTING TO MERCHANTS.—"The late conduct of the English towards the American flag, by detaining and carrying into England all American vessels bound to the ports of France and Holland, seems to have been but a temporary measure; several vessels under that predicament have been released and arrived at their destination. Four American vessels, the Calliope and Eliza, from New-York, the Mary, from Boston, and the Pallas, from Charleston, have also just entered our river, after having been visited by the English cruisers. Their cargoes consist of sugar, coffee, cotton, and tobacco. We hasten to impart this intelligence for your tranquility. The above interesting extract (says the Boston Repository) is from a letter received in this town, and we can vouch for its authenticity."
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 24.
INDIA.—By the late dispatches from Uufguraz, we are informed that Holkar had taken the precaution to supply the magazines of Bhuntpoor with military and other stores, sufficient to maintain a siege of two years; perhaps this report has been exaggerated, and purposely disseminated by several deserters from the enemy's army. During the last attack of the English on the above fort, a number of old guns were brought forward, on the first firing of which no less than five of them burst, killed 20 men, and wounded several others. The troops were struck with a sudden panic, and the artillery corps refused, for a moment, to do their duty. Holkar flew to the spot, attended by the Killader, and harangued the garrison with great firmness and spirit. This measure had the desired effect, and the troops returned to the charge with redoubled vigour. It is more than probable that this single circumstance contributed materially to the salvation of the place.
The fortress of Bhuntpoor is memorable as having been a place of refuge for the chieftains of the decan, in seasons of extraordinary trouble and distress. It was built by Cuharamanna, a jaut, of the Sewenne tribe, in the time of Aurangzeb, for an asylum for himself and family, after having plundered the rear of the imperial army, on its march through the neighbouring country.
Here a powerful banditti enlisted under his banners, he robbed such travellers as passed, acquired incalculable wealth, remained a terror to the country, and enjoyed his authority till the time of his death.
A favourite son of Holkar was killed in the last attack of the British on Bhuntpoor—the event has greatly affected Holkar, and had rendered him, when the account came away, incapable of the publick business. He has ordered a publick ceremonial to be held annually to commemorate his loss.
LAW CASE.
LANCASTER ASSIZES.
Messenger & Co. v. Robinson & Son.
This was a most important cause to the commercial world. It came on in the evening of Saturday, and was not over until the next morning. The facts appeared to be, that Messenger & Co. were applied to in August last, by Hawkins & Co. of New-York, to sell them goods to the amount of 6591. and referred to Robinson & Son, of Liverpool, for their responsibility, whose son James answered, that Hawkins & Co. were well worthy of credit to a much larger extent; in consequence of which, the goods purchased were delivered; but, instead of the buyers being good men, it appeared that they were long before that time insolvent, and soon afterwards became bankrupts. Upon which Robinson and Son were called upon to account for their misconduct, when they admitted they knew nothing of Hawkins and Co. but from Hawkins's representation; that they thought him a drunken fellow, and would not have trusted the house sixpence; but denied any knowledge of the letter in question, contending that James Robinson the younger, had written the letter without their knowledge; but it being copied in their letter-book by their own clerks, (coupled with other circumstances) it was considered as adopted by them, and accordingly a verdict was given for the plaintiffs for the full amount, to the satisfaction of the whole court.
To Mr. ROBERT GILMOUR, surviving partner of LOGAN & GILMOUR,
SIR, I have obtained a commission from the Court of Norfolk County, to take the depositions of Thomas Newton, John Owens, Alexander Love, William Porter, and James Matthews, to be read in evidence in a suit in Chancery, brought by me, as Administrator de bonis non of Richard Kelsick, against you, and now depending in that Court—As you do not reside within the Commonwealth, and have no known Agent or Attorney, within the State, to whom notice of the time and place of the taking the depositions can be given—in conformity to the Act of Assembly, I do hereby notify you, that between the hours of eight in the morning and six in the afternoon, of Tuesday the 10th day of December next, at the office of Robert B. Taylor, in the Borough of Norfolk, I shall proceed to execute the commission aforesaid, and take the depositions of the witnesses before mentioned. I am your obedient Servant,

FROM THE BORDERS OF THE RHIN.
September 17.
The gazette of Bamberg of the 17th gives a list of Prussian regiments ordered to hold themselves in readiness for war. Agreeably to this gazette, as likewise to other public papers, these troops are only destined to cover the Prussian frontiers during the present conjuncture, and to guard the neutrality of Prussia in the event of war. Some of them add, that the court of Berlin, in the midst of these movements and preparations, continued to make great exertions for the preservation of peace on the continent.
CARLSRUHE, September 18.
We learn from Bilcarach, (an ancient free city, which, by the plan of indemnity, fell to the share of our most serene elector,) that the Austrian troops, which arrived from Bregentz, entered that city on the 15th.
STUTTGARD, September 20.
Letters from Vienna are received down to the 12th of September. They announce the departure from that capital of the arch dukes Ferdinand and Maximilian. The first will be commander in chief over the German army, the other proceeds to the army of Italy. The arch duke Charles was not to set out before the 17th or 18th to take the chief command of this latter army. The same letters notice, that since the 10th it is remarked, that the French minister is making preparations to depart at a moment's warning. Nevertheless, hopes of preserving peace were not totally lost—The emperor was still at Vienna on the 12th. (since said to have arrived at Munich.) The Austrian regiment of Rosenberg arrived at Ulm on the 17th.
WETZLAER, September 20.
The threatening march of the Austrian army towards Bavaria, having developed the hostile views of the house of Austria towards the states of the Empire, there is not a prince, or people in Germany who has not been eagerly expecting the arrival of the French troops destined to prevent or avenge this violation on the Germanic constitution. The army of Hanover, the first to hear the wishes offered by all true Germans for the result of this war, was, by its proximity, the earliest to afford them succour.—The troops detached from this army, quitted the electorate at the moment that news of the invasion of Bavaria excited every where alarm and indignation.—They were received with transport, and the inhabitants of Hesse, more particularly, gave evidences of their affection and gratitude. It must be observed also, that his electoral highness bound by his situation and the rank he holds to resent more than any other sovereign the wrongs committed on the elector of Bavaria, and to dread on his own account and that of his people the consequences of that system of usurpation, so scandalously avowed by the court of Vienna, has given the most pointed orders for the accommodation of the French troops in their passage through his states. The orders of the elector have been faithfully executed, and the French soldiers every where received as our deliverers and friends.
STUTTGARD, September 18.
Letters from Augsburg inform us, that early on the morning of that day, several Austrian battalions passed the Lech, and that in the course of it and the following one the whole body of the army of general comte Klenau passed that river. They still flattered themselves at Augsburg, that the Austrians meant to respect their neutrality, formally stipulated, by a general decree against all future wars, and solemnly sanctioned by the emperor of Germany.—On the 14th the magistrates of Augsburg had sent a deputation to general Klenau at Munich, to demand of him his recognition of the neutrality of their city. At the date of the letters, which was the 16th, it was not known what answer had been made to the deputation. It was expected in the course of the day. Two days preceding this, on the evening of the 14th, an Austrian officer escorted by twelve dragoons arrived at Augsburg, charged with a letter to the Senate from the Austrian general Prince de Rosenberg, Whatstrengthened the hopes of the inhabitants of Augsburg, was the certain intelligence which had reached them, of the Austrian generals having recognised expressly the neutrality of the city of Ratisbonne, and of the determination taken by his highness the elector archchancellor, when setting out for Aschaffenburg, to continue at his present residence. Some officers of the advanced guard of general prince de Rosenberg, arrived on the evening of the 15th at Querbach, near Zasmarshausen, on this side of Augsburg. They were sent on to prepare quarters for the Austrian troops expected to arrive on the 16th and 17th. Other officers have gone on to Kempten and other cities of Upper Swabia, for the same purpose.
TOULOUSE, September 29.
We have been kindly furnished with a report of M. Ladeveze, physician of the prisons of Toulouse, on the treatment of a dangerous distemper, which breaks out commonly in Jails during the sultry season, known commonly by the name of the Jail fever. The happy result which has attended the experiments made by M. Ladeveze, to deliver the inhabitants of these receptacles from this scourge, has bound us to publish the following particulars, whose authenticity we take it upon ourselves to warrant. "On the 18th of August, a prisoner was seized with a disorder, the symptoms of which became in a short time very alarming. On the 20th, four others were brought to the infirmary."
"The symptoms were nearly the same in each case, and left no doubt on my mind, of the nature of the distemper, which I judged to be the Jail fever. The event has fully confirmed my previous suspicion; I hastened to arrest the progress of the epidemic—I had the halls and dungeons of the Jail fumigated twice a day with oxigen muriatic acid gas, and not a single person took the contagion. Those who had been first taken, occasioned me the strongest inquietude as to the issue of their disorder. The most powerful remedies were administered to them without producing any effect. I determined then to employ a treatment known in England and first practiced by Dr. Currie, in this disorder and by some in America, against the yellow fever. The treatment of these doctors consisted in bathing their patients in sea water; I substituted cold spring water in the room of sea water, impregnated highly with muriatic of soda, in which I had the patient immersed every two hours. This treatment relieved them almost instantaneously from the delirium and violence of their fever, and at the end of four days placed them out of danger. The efficacy of this treatment has been established by the reappearance of the same symptoms, after discontinuing for a single day the use of these baths. I have now the satisfaction of certifying that all the sick are cured, and the Jails purified of the contagion which threatened such extensive ravages."
