CONGRESS.
House of Representatives.
Monday, Nov. 19.
On motion of Mr. J. Clay, the house agreed to the resolution requesting the president to make to capt. S. Decatur a present of a sword, and the officers and crew, as an honorable testimonial of the services in destroying the Tripoline frigate of 44 guns in the harbor of Tripoli.
The words at the end of the resolution "late U. S. frigate Philadelphia," on motion of Mr. R. Griswold, were struck out.
The Yeas and Nays were demanded by one fifth of the members present, and were Yeas 103. Nays 2. viz. Messrs. Wm. Butler and R. Stanford--Ordered to be enrolled--it was afterwards bro't in and passed, and sent to the Senate for concurrence.
Mr. Speaker laid before the house a letter from the secretary of the treasury, together with a report and estimate of the appropriations necessary for the year 1805, and a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the current year down to the 1st October.
Referred to the committee of ways and means, and ordered to be printed.
Tuesday, November 20.
Dr. Mitchell, from the committee appointed on that part of the president's message respecting the lead mines in Louisiana, reported a resolution authorizing the president to appoint an agent who shall be instructed to collect all the material information respecting the actual condition, occupancy and titles of the same, and the agent to make report before the next session of Congress. The resolution was read a second time and referred to a committee of the whole.
Gen. Varnum in the chair.
Mr. Lucas suggested the propriety of altering the resolution so as to make it general as to all kinds of ore and even to embrace salt springs and licks. He knew there were other
superfluous. For he had said that the President under proper authority had already appointed agents to explore generally the territory of Louisiana that they had been some time engaged in that service at the Missouri, Arkansas, Red river and about Detroit, and indeed Major Lewis had been some time at St. Louis, a post in the neighborhood of these very Lead Mines, and from his known enterprise and minute enquiries, there was good reason for believing that the subject which was the object of the proposed Resolution, would be narrated in his general report of discoveries... But in addition to this expectation, the document accompanying the President's Message shed considerable light, the information as to the condition of the Lead Mines, their number, names and value were explained, and as he had heard no Gentleman suggest a doubt as to the accuracy of the narrative, he was inclined to give it full credit from the general character of the gentleman who made the communication and the particular knowledge he must necessarily have acquired by a long residence in the country. From this view of the subject he was compelled to acknowledge that he had altered his idea of the resolution & could not now vote in its favor.
Dr. Mitchell had hoped that the gentleman from Pennsylvania after the explanation of yesterday would consent to the resolution, he would now add but a few explanatory words. The object of the resolution was simply to appoint an agent to enquire into the occupancy and titles of the present holders and claimants; this required a civilian, versed in the municipal laws of the nation who had heretofore held that territory, not a natural historian; or mineralogist, one who was acquainted with mining or smelting and selling ores... Neither did the doctor believe it would be necessary to send the agent to the mines themselves, but to the place where the deeds and conveyances, constituting the title papers of the proprietors or pretended claimants are recorded or preserved; whether these were at New-Orleans or what other place, he did not know. As to the expense, it was not likely to exceed 1000 or 2000 dollars even if the agent was sent from this city, but he imagined if the business could be as well conducted by the appointment of an agent in Louisiana, the President would instruct the governor how to act; it might be seen too from the words of
the resolution that it was a mere temporary employment, not likely to be of longer duration than three or four months. For the report is instructed to be made before the next meeting of congress.
The doctor concluded, that if Mr. L. would reconcile himself to vote for the present motion upon this explanation, and he should hereafter desire a more extensive examination into the actual circumstances of the newly acquired territory, he might rely upon his earnest co-operation.
Mr. Lucas observed in reply, that Louisiana had been held alternately by three or four nations: each of which in sequence had granted titles to more or less of the lands in question--An examination into those titles would at this time excite a high degree of sensibility among the inhabitants, who, he thought, ought in their youthful state, to be treated by congress with tenderness and delicacy. The titles were various. Some derived from the governors of the country, some from commanders of posts--Many of the latter he believed might be considered by the agent illegal; especially as he had learned that the commander of St. Louis, in N. Louisiana, held paramount authority over the subordinate posts, and that without his approbation the lands so granted would not be allowed; yet these persons who held under such title, and by occupancy and improvement consider themselves the bona fide proprietors of the lands. He feared that the enquiry intended by the resolution might create great dissatisfaction, while a postponement for the present could do no possible evil.
Mr. Newton said if Mr. L. had made a correct statement of the condition in which the titles in that country really stood, and he had no reason to doubt it, it would operate as the strongest reason on his mind to pass the resolution: tho' it would be perceived that the agency to be given on the present occasion extended no farther than to the lead mines. The gentleman, Mr. L. had yesterday mistaken his friend's (Dr. Mitchell) object supposing a general agency was intended to be raised. He had mistaken him again to-day by thinking the agent was to go into the territory of Louisiana to decide upon the titles he might have an opportunity of examining. This was not the case. He was merely to enquire into the actual condition of the lead mines, the occupancy and title, for the information of congress. We are not going to send a board of commissioners, or a judiciary establishment, for the purpose of hearing and determining upon the claims set up, but to procure or ourselves that information which will enable the government to decide, without their instrumentality. If the gentleman, Mr. L. views the subject in this point of light, he will find it freed from his objection.
The question was now put, and the resolution passed, 74 members voting in its favor. It was thereupon ordered to be transmitted to the Senate for concurrence.
A petition from the inhabitants on Monongahela, praying the establishment of a road through that country. Referred to the committee on roads, for considering the waters of the Atlantic and Ohio.
Mr. Rhea of Tennessee moved a resolution for the establishment of an office for exhibiting and recording deeds and papers relating to grants of land in Louisiana; whether made by France, Spain, or Great Britain, to be entered, in the original language, with an American translation of the same. Ordered to lie on the table.
FRANKFORT, Dec. 3.
On Friday week, a bill to amend and repeal in part, the act incorporating the Kentucky Insurance Company, passed the senate, twelve members voting in favor of it, and seven against it. The yeas and nays were as follows:
Yeas--Mr. Cassidy, Mr. Crutcher, Mr. Delha, Mr. Grant, Mr. Hickman, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Pemberton, Mr. Slaughter, Mr. Winlock, Mr. Williams and Mr. White, 12.
Nays--Mr. Alexander, Mr. Clay, Mr. Ewing, Mr. Hunter, Mr. Logan, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Trotter, 7.
The object of this bill, we understand is, first, to repeal that part of the law incorporating the company, which enables them to sue and recover on assignments, unless such obligations should express on the face of them that they are to be payable and negotiable at the office of the company; and secondly, to make the individual property of each stockholder liable for the payment of the paper in circulation, in case the Company's capital should not be sufficient.
The subject is now before the house of representatives and has occasioned more warm and animated debates than any other which has come before the legislature since the change of the judiciary system. Indeed, it is a very comprehensive field for the display of eloquence, and is a subject which involves consequences well worthy the serious consideration of the legislature and the public at large. We regret that it is not in our power to lay before our readers these interesting debates and particularly the speeches of Messrs. Clay and Grundy who took opposite sides of the question--Mr. Clay, in support of the bank establishment, and Mr. Grundy in opposition to it.
It ought to be observed, that the power of the legislature to interfere with the regulations of the former law, being denied by the friends of the Company, Mr. Grundy moved to repeal the law altogether (so far as it gave the privileges of banking) and thereby brought the constitutional question fully before the house.
Yesterday a decision took place in the committee of the whole, on a motion to repeal the 20th and 21st sections of the law of 1802, which authorized the company to issue bills, & recover in a summary way--twenty nine members voted in favor of the repeal, and twenty eight against it. The report was laid on the table until Wednesday next.
James Monroe, esq. of Virginia, has been nominated and appointed, minister extraordinary and plenipotentiary, to the court of Spain. The object, of this appointment, it is presumed, is to bring the pending negotiations to a speedy termination.

VINCENNES, (I. T.) Nov. 20. On the 31 of this inst. a treaty was signed at St. Louis, by governor Harrison, as commissioner on the part of the United States, and by the chiefs of the Sacs, and Fox tribes of Indians, by which the latter have ceded to the United States the extensive tract of country included within the following bounds, to wit: Beginning at a point on the Mississippi river opposite the mouth of the Galconade river; thence in a direct course, so as to strike the river Jefferson, at the distance of 430 miles from its mouth, and down the Jefferson to the Mississippi; thence up the Mississippi to the mouth of the Ouisonconie river, and up the same to a point which shall be 32 miles in a direct line from the mouth of the said river; thence in a direct line to a point where the Fox river, a branch of the Illinois, leaves a small lake called Sagganaw; thence down the Fox river, to the Illinois river, and down the same to the Mississippi. This is undoubtedly among the most valuable acquisitions we have ever been able to procure from the Indians, and reflects great credit upon the Governor, to whose influence & good management, we can alone attribute the successful negotiation; it has a front of six hundred miles upon the Mississippi and contains 80,000 square miles, which is equal to 51,190,000 acres, mostly first rate, and a part of it abounding in minerals.
From the Political Barometer.
BLUE LAWS revised in Connecticut.
IT will be recollected that an interesting question has recently been called up, and copiously discussed in Connecticut, to wit "whether that state has a constitution." The republicans contended that it had not, the federalists that it had: and many were the controversial arguments which appeared in their respective papers upon the subject, evidently shewing that public opinion was greatly divided, and is yet undetermined on this point. It appears that among those who had expressed an opinion that the state had no constitution, were William Judd, Jabez H. Tomlinson, Agur Judson, Hezekiah Goodrich, & Nathaniel Manning, Justices of the peace, for the expression of which sentiments, these gentlemen were cited to answer before the General Assembly, and to show cause, if any they have, why their commissions should not be revoked!
This citation business originated with the governor and Council, (upper House,) and was sent from thence, in a bill, to the House of Representatives, where it underwent considerable discussion before the question was taken. In the course of the debate, a republican member (Samuel Hart Jun.) observed as follows; "Two things (said he) are necessary to obtain an object--the ability and the disposition; both of these the House possesses--I therefore deem it unnecessary--unavailing, to say any thing on the subject." These remarks were seized with avidity by the federalists, and Mr. Hart was charged with an attempt to degrade the dignity of the House! Mr. Hart rose to explain; "He had no intention (he said) of charging the House with a disposition to do wrong; he only alluded to the two political parties which existed in the House, and which he considered as distinctly marked as the lines and boundaries of a county." These remarks, instead of allaying the tempest, only tended to increase it. The federalists became outrageous; the language of Mr. Hart, they said was immodest, indecent, insulting! A loud clamor was raised, and a motion made that, unless he would come forward and take back his expressions, he should be publicly reprimanded from the Chair! which was finally carried. In consequence of this resolution, the Speaker, the next morning, immediately after the roll was called, requested Mr. Hart to rise in his place, in order to receive the Reprimand. Mr. Hart did not rise. The Speaker again requested him to rise. Mr. Hart said, "He knew of no rule of the House which compelled him to rise; if there were any such rule, he wished to know it." This put the feds a little to a nonplus; no such rule existed; but decency and propriety (in federal opinion) required it; and a member (Mr. Cleveland) hastily observed that "If there were no rule of the House which compelled him to rise, he trusted the House would make a rule to get him out of it, and would do it pretty soon." (Chem!) It was then moved that the sense of the House should be taken on the question, which was accordingly done, and it was decided that Mr. Hart should rise; he then rose, received a solemn reprimand from the Speaker--and sat down again.
Such extraordinary and coercive measures cannot fail of creating serious alarm in the mind of every friend to impartial liberty. They
are new--they are unprecedented in the legislative proceedings of a free people. Is it then come to this, that a public officer cannot decently express his opinion on an important question, which is the subject of general controversy and animadversion, without being in danger of losing his office! Cannot a member of the legislature, on the floor of the House, declare his sentiment that the two political parties which exist there are distinctly marked, without being subjected to a reprimand from the Speaker! Well may the patriots of Connecticut exclaim--The reign of terror indeed!
The federalists of that state, alarmed at the increasing strength of republicanism, appear determined to make a persecuting and inquisitorial use of power, before it is finally wrested from them, in order to crush by violent and vindictive measures, the growth and prevalence of political principles which oppose their own. But the effort is vain, they may for a moment suppress the freedom of speech, but not of sentiment. Though they may for a short season, smother the flame, they cannot extinguish it; it is a flame enkindled by "a spark from the altar of '76;" whose blaze is unquenchable. Let then the republicans of Connecticut persevere; we venture to predict that the reign of the present demagogues in that state is short; their power will soon be annihilated, the day of retribution is at hand.
As we are daily victims of casualties and diseases, the mind of man has ever been employed to prevent the recurrence of the one, and to remedy the other. Self love was, perhaps, the original stimulus that led to these researches; but it is certainly now, in most cases, a benevolent affection of the humane heart that directs the application of their results. If, under this view, I should communicate to a suffering fellow creature the means of relief, though it may differ from the received principle of the science of medicine, and the practice of physicians in a very prevalent and a very fatal disease, the consumption, I hope I shall not be deemed assuming or obtrusive--Completely to eradicate this disorder, I will not positively say the following remedy is capable of doing; but I will venture to affirm, by a temperate mode of living, (avoiding wholly liquors); wearing flannel next the skin; and taking every morning, half a pint of new milk mixed with a wine glass full of the expressed juice of green horse-radish; the complaint will not only be relieved, but the individual shall procure to himself a length of days beyond what its mildest form could give room to hope for. I am myself, Sir, a living witness of the beneficial effects of this agreeable and, though innocent, yet powerful application.
Four weeks use of the horse-radish and milk relieved the pains of my breast; gave me to breathe deep, long and free; strengthened and harmonized my voice; and restored me to a state of better health than I had enjoyed for many years. Hence I am emboldened to pray you to make this known through the medium of your paper, that the public welfare may be promoted by the preservation of private worth; that the sacred ties of friendship; the blissful union of love; the high, ennobled, and inter-firing connexions, of husband and wife, parent and child, may not be suddenly and so frequently severed by the hand of death.

LEXINGTON, DECEMBER 18.
On Tuesday evening last, Frederick Zimmerman esq. of Jefferson county, was thrown from his horse, about three miles from this town, with such violence that it put an immediate period to his existence.
On Thursday morning, about ten o'clock, the inhabitants of this town were again alarmed by a fire breaking out in the shop of Messrs. Fithel and Gallaten. It was soon extinguished without much damage being sustained. If three fires in one week, will not excite the members of the Lexington Fire Company, to do something for their own safety, we had as well remain silent.
From Frankfort we learn, that the bill to amend the law incorporating the Kentucky Insurance Company, has been returned to the Senate with amendments, and there laid on the table until the end of the session. The legislature, it is thought, will rise to-morrow.
Yesterday's mail has furnished us with the particulars of the attacks on Tripoli; but the late hour at which it arrived, owing to the bad roads, prevents us from laying them before our readers, in this day's Gazette. In the first attack, lieutenant James Decatur, was killed in boarding one of the enemy's gun boats, and lieutenant Tripp, in carrying another, received 11 sabre wounds, none of which were mortal. In the second attack, gun boat No. 9, blew up, by which we lost 2 promising young officers, (lieut. Jas. Caldwell and Mr. Dorsey) and 8 of the crew. The bashaw has offered to make peace, and restore the prisoners to us for 150,000 dollars, which has been refused, and our squadron was preparing for another attack.
From Frankfort we learn that a conspiracy for carrying off a number of negroes and horses from that neighborhood, had been detected. Murphy (lately from the penitentiary) who was the ring-leader in this business, is now in custody, on divers charges. Ind. Gaz.
CRIM. CON.
Rev. Charles Massey, vs. The Most Noble The Marquis of Headfort.
The trial of the action in this case came on at the late assizes of Ennis, in Ireland, before the Honorable Baron Smith, and a most respectable Jury, of which the two first Jurors were, Sir Edward O'Brien, and Sir Joseph Peacock, Barts. The action was brought for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife, and the damages were laid at 40,000l. After eloquent statements and speeches to evidence, by Messrs. Ponsonby, Curran, Hoare, and Quin, the proofs were summed up by the learned judge; and the jury, after having retired for about ten minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 10,000l. damages and 6d. costs.
MR. CURRAN'S SPEECH.
[Every reader of taste, we are confident, will be heartily gratified by the following abstract of the Speech of MR. CURRAN, on evidence in the late Crim. Con. Trial in Ireland, Massey v. the Marquis of Headfort. —London paper]
Never so clearly as in the present instance have I observed that safeguard of justice, which Providence has placed in the nature of man. Such is the inenarrable dominion with which truth and reason wave their sceptre over the human intellect, that no solicitation, however ardent, can reduce its allegiance. In proportion to the humility of our submission to its rule, do we rise in some faint emulation of that ineffable and preëminent attribute, whose characteristic attribute is to be coerced and bound by the inexorable laws of its own nature, so as to be all-wise and all-just from necessity rather than election. You have seen it in the Learned Advocate who has preceded me, most peculiarly and strikingly illustrated. You have seen his great talents, perhaps the first in any country, languishing under a cause too weak to carry him, and too heavy to be carried by him. He was forced to dismiss his natural candour and sincerity, and having no merits in his cause, to take refuge in the dignity of his own manner, the resources of his own ingenuity, from the overwhelming difficulties
with which he was surrounded. The Learned Counsel has told you that this unfortunate woman is not to be estimated at forty thousand pounds—fatal and unquestionable is the truth of this assertion. Alas! Gentlemen, she is no longer worth anything; faded, fallen, degraded, and disgraced, she is worth less than nothing! But it is for the honor, the hope, the expectation, the tenderness, and the comforts that have been blasted by the Defendant, and have fled forever, that you are to remunerate the plaintiff by the punishment of the defendant. It is not her present value which you are to weigh—but it is her value at the time when she sat basking in a husband's love, with the blessing of Heaven on her head, and its purity in her heart; when she sat among her family, and administered the morality of the parental board. Estimate that past value—compare it with its present deplorable diminution—and it may lead you to form some judgment of the severity of the injury, and the extent of the compensation. The Learned Counsel has referred you to other cases, and other countries, for instances of moderate verdicts—I can refer you to some authentic instances of just ones. In the next county, 15,000l. against a subaltern officer. In Travers and McCarthy, 5,000l. against a servant. In Tighe against Jones, 10,000l. against a man not worth a shilling. What then ought to be the rule, where rank and power, and wealth, and station, have combined to render the example of his crime more dangerous—to make his guilt more odious—to make the injury to the plaintiff more grievous, because more conspicuous? I affect no levelling familiarity, when I speak of persons in the higher ranks of society—distinctions of orders are necessary, and I always feel disposed to treat them with respect—but when it is my duty to speak of the crimes by which they are degraded, I am not so fastidious as to shrink from their contact, when to touch them is essential to their disaffection. However, therefore, I should feel on any other occasion, a disposition to speak of the noble defendant with the respect due to his station, and perhaps to his qualities, of which he may have many, to redeem him from the odium of this transaction, I cannot so indulge myself here, I cannot betray my client, to avoid the pain of doing my duty. I cannot forget that in this action the condition, the conduct, and the circumstances of the party, are justly and peculiarly the objects of your consideration. Who then are the parties? The plaintiff, young, amiable, of family and education. Of the generous disinterestedness of his heart, you can form an opinion from the evidence of the defendant, that he declined an alliance which would have added to his fortune and consideration, and which he rejected for an unportioned union with his present wife. She too at that time young, beautiful and accomplished; and feeling her affection for her husband increase, in proportion as she remembered the ardour of his love, and the sincerity of his sacrifice. Look now to the defendant!—Can you behold him without shame and indignation?—With what feelings can you regard a rank that he has so tarnished, and a patent that he has so worse than cancelled? High in the army—high in the state—the hereditary Counsel of the King—of wealth incalculable;—and to this last I advert with an indignant and contemptuous satisfaction, because, as the only instrument of his guilt and shame, it will be the means of his punishment and the source of compensation for his guilt—His Learned Counsel contends that the plaintiff has been the author of his suffering, and ought to receive no compensation for the ill consequences of his own conduct. In what part of the evidence do you find any foundation for that assertion? He indulged her, it seems, in dress—generous and attached, he probably indulged her in that point beyond his means; and the defendant now impudently calls on you for an excuse for the adulterer in the fondness and liberality of a husband. But you have been told that the husband conceived. O! odious and impudent aggravation of injury—to add calumny to insult, and outrage to dishonor?—From whom but a man hackneyed in the paths of shame and vice—from whom but a man having no restraint in his own breast to restrain him, could you expect such brutal treatment for the feelings of others?—from whom but the cold-blooded seducer—from what but the exhausted have his crime confined to its inherent and habitual community with perable and miserable aggravations, hope—from what but the habitual unles he also gave it a cait and co-
contempt of virtue & man, could you have expected the arrogance, the barbarity, and folly of so foul, because of so false an imputation? He should have reflected, and have blushed, before he suffered so vile a topic of defence to have passed his lips. But ere you condemn, let him have the benefit of the excule, if the excule be true. You must have observed how his Counsel flattered and vibrated—between what they called connivance and injudicious confidence, and how in affecting to distinguish, they have confounded them both together. If the plaintiff has connived, I freely say to you, do not reward the wretch who has prostituted his wife, and rendered his own honor—to not compensate the pandar of his own shame, and willing instrument of his own infamy. But as there is no sum so low, to which such a defence, if true, ought not to reduce your verdict, so neither is any so high, to which such charge ought not to inflame it if such a charge be false. Where is the single fact in this case on which the remotest suspicion of connivance can be hung?—Odiously has the defendant endeavoured to make the soiled and most amiable feelings of the heart, the pretext of his slanderous imputations!—an ancient and respectable Prelate, the husband of his wife's sister, chained down to the bed of sickness, perhaps to the bed of death, in that distressing situation, my client suffered that wife to be the bearer of consolation to the bosom of her sister—she had not the heart to refuse her—and the softness of her nature is now charged on him as a crime. He is now informed by the counsel that he connived at his dishonor, and that he ought to have foreseen that the mansion of sickness and of sorrow would have been made the scene of adultery and of guilt. On this charge of connivance I will not further weary you, or exhaust myself; I will add nothing more, than that it is as false as it is impudent—that in the evidence it has not a colour of support—and that with your verdict you should mark it with reprobation. The other subject, namely, he was indifferent in his confidence, does, I think, call for disproof: for, I trust, you see that I effect not any address to your passions, by which you may be led away from the subject—I presume merely to separate the parts of this affecting case, and to lay them, item by item, before you, with the coldness of detail, and not with any colouring or display of fiction or of fancy. Honorable to himself was his unsuspicious confidence, but fatal must we admit it to have been, when we look to the abuse committed upon it; but where was the guilt of this indifference?
He did admit this noble Lord to pass his threshold as his guest. Now the charge which this Noble Lord builds on this indifference is—"Thou fool, thou hadst confidence in my honour, and that was a guilty indifference—thou simpleton, thou thoughtest that an admitted and a cherished guest would have respected the laws of honor and hospitality, and thy indifference was guilt. Thou thoughtest that he would have shrunk from the meanness and barbarity of requiting kindness with treachery, and thy indifference was guilt." Gentlemen, what horrid alternative in the treatment of wives would such reasoning recommend? Are they to be immured by worse than Eastern barbarity?—Are their principles to be deprived—their passions lulled—every finer motive of action extinguished by the inevitable consequences of thus treating them like slaves? Or is a liberal and generous confidence in them to be the passport of the adulterer, and the justification of his crimes?—Honorable, but fatally for his own repose, he was neither jealous, suspicious, nor cruel. He treated the defendant with the confidence of a friend, and his wife with the tenderness of a husband. He did leave the Noble Marquis the physical possibility of committing against him the greatest crime which can be perpetrated against a being of an amiable heart and refined education, and the noble defendant had the honor to avail himself of it. In the middle of the day, at the moment of divine worship, when the wife of the husband was on his knees, directing his prayers and thanksgiving to their God—that moment did the remorseless adulterer choose to carry off the deluded victim from her husband—from her child—from her character—from her happiness—as if, not content to have his crime confined to its inherent and habitual community with perable and miserable aggravations, he also gave it a cait and co-
lour of factious sacrilege and impiety.—In the most odious contempt of every personal feeling, of public opinion, of common humanity, did he parade this woman to the fearful shore, whence he transported his precious cargo to a country where her example may be less mischievous than in her own: where, I agree with my learned Colleagues in heartily willing he may remain with her for ever. We are too poor, too simple, too unadvanced a country, for the example of such achievements—When the relaxation of morals is the natural growth and consequence of the great progress of arts and wealth, it is accompanied by a refinement that makes it less gross than shocking: but for such palliatives we are at least a century too young. In every point of view in which I can look at the subject, I see you are called upon to give a verdict, of bold and just, and indignant, and exemplary compensation. The injury of the plaintiff demands it from your justice. The delinquency of the defendant provokes it by its enormity. The rank on which he has relied for impunity, calls upon you to tell him, that crime does not ascend to the rank of the perpetrator, but the perpetrator sinks from his rank, and descends to the level of his delinquency. The style and mode of his defence is a gross insult upon you, and a gross insult upon your verdict.
Your verdict will, I trust, put an end to that encouragement to guilt that is built upon impunity—the devil, it seems, has saved the Noble Marquis harmless in the past; but your verdict will tell him the term of that indemnity is expired that his old friend, and banker has no more effects in his hands, and that if he draws any more upon him, he must pay his own bills himself. You will do much good by doing so; you may not enlighten his conscience, nor touch his heart, but his frugality will understand the hint. He will adopt the prudence of age, and be deterred from pursuits, in which, though he may be inflexible of shame, he will not be regardless of expence. You will do more, you will not only punish him in his tender point, but you will weaken him in his strong one, his money. There is another consideration, gentlemen, which I think most impressively demands, even a vindictive award of exemplary damages, and that is the breach of hospitality. To us peculiarly does it belong to avenge the violation of its altar. The hospitality of other countries is a matter of necessity or convention, in savage nations of the first, in polished of the latter; but the hospitality of an Irishman is not the running account of paid and ledgered courtesies, as in other countries; it springs, like all his qualities, his faults, his virtues, directly from his heart—The heart of an Irishman is by nature bold, and he confides; it is tender, and he loves; it is generous, and he gives; it is social, and he is hospitable. This sacrilegious intruder has profaned the religions of that sacred altar, so elevated in our worship, so precious to our devotion; and it is our privilege to avenge the crime. You must either pull down the altar, and abolish the worship, or you must preserve its sanctity undebased. There is no alternative between the universal exclusion of all mankind from your threshold, and the most rigorous punishment of him who is admitted and betrays. This defendant has been so trusted, he has so betrayed, and you ought to make him a most signal example. Gentlemen I am the most disposed to feel the strongest indignation and abhorrence at this odious conduct of the defendant, when I consider the deplorable condition to which he has actually reduced the plaintiff, and perhaps the still more deplorable one that he has in the prospect before him. What a progress has he to travel through before he can attain the peace and tranquility which he has lost! How like the wounds of the body are those of the mind! How burning are the fever! How painful the suppurating! How slow, hesitating, how reluctant the process to consalescence! Through what a variety of offering, through what new scenes and changes must my unhappy client pass ere he can re-attain, should he ever re-attain that health of soul of which he has been despoiled by the cold and deliberate machinations of this practised and gilded seducer? If, instead of drawing upon his incalculable wealth for a scanty retribution, you were to stop the progress of his despicable achievement by reducing him to actual poverty, you could not, even to, punish him beyond the scope of his offence, nor repress the plaintiff beyond the measure of his suffering. Let me remind you, that in this action the law not only impowers you, but that its policy commands you to consider the public example as well as the individual injury, when you adjust the amount of your verdict. I confess I am most anxious that you should acquit yourselves worthy upon this important occasion. I am addressing you as fathers, husbands, brothers. I am anxious that a feeling of those high relations should enter into and give dignity to your verdict. But I confess I feel a tenfold solicitude when I remember that I am addressing you as my countrymen,
as men, who, if they are my clients on this day, and must abide the alternative of honour, or of infamy, as you shall decide. I will not dare to despond. I have every trust and hope, and confidence in you; and to that hope I will add my most fervent prayer to the God of all truth and justice, to raise and enlighten, and to fortify your minds, that you may so decide, as to preserve to yourselves, while you live, the most delightful of all recollections, that of acting justly, and to transmit to your children the most precious of all inheritances, the memory of your virtue.
"NORFOLK, Nov. 24." "Capt. Wills, of the schooner Seventy-Six, 37 days from Teneriff, informs that there has been an earthquake at Cadiz, which has done considerable damage. The island of Majorca and Minorca have revolted against the Spanish government, and declared that they consider themselves no longer under the fame. At Malaga the fever raged with such violence that the king of Spain thought it prudent to send a force by sea and land to blockade the place to prevent the spreading of the contagion. The inhabitants rose against the troops and defeated them; the consequence was, that the inhabitants fled from Malaga into the interior."

VERSE. Inscribed to the LADIES of Western America, by their friend and humble admirer, Z.
Ye Beauties of the Western Land, Attend a Stranger's lay, And mark how Fashion's erring hand, Has led your steps astray.
When Nature to each lovely Form Its just proportions gave, She meant the heart of Man to warm, And doom'd him for your slave,
But well she knew that wayward heart Not Beauty could secure, Till Modesty perform'd her part And made its fetters sure.
She gave the eye its timid glance, The cheek with blushes spread, And o'er the bosom's soft expanse The decent kerchief laid.
But Fashion with presumptuous zeal, Would all her work deface. She dares the electric blush to steal The kerchief to displace.
The bosom now expos'd and bare To every vulgar eye, The modest Loves which nestl'd there, Have been compelled to fly.
No more your Swain's enamored thought O'er fancied beauties strays, They meet his fixed view unsought, And court the indecent gaze.
Ye wedded pair, whose every grace, Your "Bolon's Lord should claim, Let not such loose attire disgrace Your yet unspotted fame.
But only to your Cherub train Those heavenly orbs disclose, When nurture swells each throbbing vein.
To sooth their infant woes. Thus shall your empire o'er our breast, Extend to life's decline, And Beauty by the Virtues drest, With charms resistless shine.

CILLA, about 23 years of age, pock-marked, and rather of an auburn complexion, of about an ordinary stature, stout and well made, and has a cicatrice on the inside of her right arm, below the elbow, speaks broken English, and has a smattering of the German language, and when she went away was far advanced in pregnancy; she was born and raised to adolescence, in the state of New-York, from thence emigrated to South Carolina, at which place I became her proprietor last spring, and I suspect from some of her innuendoes, previous to her departure, that she will endeavour to get to one or the other of those states, but rather suppose to the latter. It is probable that she has procured a pass in my name, from some of those rabble who egged her to excitement.
