A CHARGE,
Delivered to the Grand Jury for the District of Pennsylvania, in the Circuit Court of the Uni- ted States for the said District, at Philadelphia, April 12, 1796.
BY JAMES IREDELL,
One of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.
(Published at the request of the Grand Jury.)
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
The business for which you are now assembled is of no small consequence to the peace and happi- ness of the community. The people of the Uni- ted States having thought proper to establish a go- vernment for the management of all its general concerns, in which not one state only, but all the states are equally interested, it is necessary to take care that their intentions may not be defeated by the misconduct of any individuals. All who love their country may be expected to obey its laws; those who live right notions of a republican go- vernment, and possess a proper degree of zeal and virtue to support it, will cheerfully submit to the only terms upon which it can be enjoyed, a defer- ence of private sentiment to that of the public con- stitutionally expressed; men of morality will in all instances abstain from any criminal conduct which may injure any individual of the community, or man- kind at large. Without these happy dispo- sitions, our laws would be useless, and we should in fact see something like that millenium which has been so sanguinely the theme not only of heated divines, but of some enthusiastic politicians. Ex- perience too forcibly teaches us, that in all coun- tries, even in those most happily situated, even in our own, enjoying every political blessing to which the mind of man can aspire, there are bad men in- capable of being restrained by any moral or politi- cal tie, from devising the most nefarious schemes and perpetrating the most wicked actions. The instances, I trust, are rare, but we are well con- vinced of the reality of some.
The general objects of the criminal law of the U- nited States are the following:
 1. Offences against the United States, consi- dered in their national character, for the internal pur- poses of union, and wherein their own government is alone concerned.  2. Offences against the United States, consi- dered in their national character as one among the na- tions of the earth, holding a common cognizance of offences against the universal law of society, com- mitted out of the limits of any particular territory.  3. Offences against the United States, consi- dered in their national character as connected with other nations either by the common tie of the laws of nature, or by any particular treaty or compact. 
A full discussion of each of these branches of jurisdiction would take up your time in a manner equally tedious and unuseful. I shall therefore on- ly observe upon such detached parts of the subject as may appear most interesting in a discourse of a general nature on the present occasion.
Under the first head I shall mention only one of- fence, but that of the greatest importance, and which cannot be too frequently the object of con- sideration. The offence I speak of is that of Trea- son .
As it is not only natural, but the duty of every government to take care of its own preservation, this crime in all countries is considered of the high- est rank; the object of it being the total destruc- tion of the government itself, and of course of all the order, peace, security, and happiness connect- ed with it, thus involving (where the government is a good one) the greatest accumulation of public and private misery which any crime can possibly occasion. But where so much is at stake an extra- ordinary degree of jealousy is usually proportioned to it, which jealousy will be entertained by a bad government as well as a good one, and always in a greater degree from a consciousness of deserving ill. Accordingly it has in fact happened, that in most countries, in all ages, and under all forms of go- vernment, the abuses which have been committed in prosecutions for this offence have been among the most atrocious ever perpetrated to the injury of mankind. Suspicion has supplied the place of ev- idence, the most distant approaches of danger have armed the hand of power against the greatest of men, and not unfrequently the highest instances of public virtue have been doomed to the punishment of the highest public offences. Happily for the United States, such scenes have been known to them only by the history of other nations. The mildness of their own governments has long been one of the most distinguished, as well as one of the most honorable characteristics of their country.— But the framers of the present constitution of the United States were too wise to depend for perma- nent security on occasional temper, or even the strong and tried basis of a national character.— Knowing well the mischiefs which prosecutions for this offence had occasioned, glowing with proper indignation at the tyrannies of other countries, and thinking no precaution too great to exclude them from their own, they took especial care to guard a- gainst the danger of such, by provisions in the con- stitution anxiously adapted to that end. Every person conversant in such subjects knows, that the great engines of this species of judicial tyranny have been these. 1. So loose a definition of the crime that it was easy by means of plausible subter- fuges, to charge that as an act of treason which was never intended to be deemed such. 2. The admission of such slender proof that an unprinci- pled government in tempestuous times, taking advan- tage of favorable conjunctures, could often find means to obtain the conviction of an obnoxious tho' innocent man. 3. (And which is scarcely credible, if the proofs of it were not too numerous and too plain to be questioned) A spirit of rapacity, which dictated accusations of treason upon insufficient grounds, in order to obtain the benefit of the for- feiture of property, annexed to the crime. Thus infamously taking away a man's life to rob himself and his family of his estate! Such have been the methods by which man has preyed on his fellow man, and inhuman tyrants, without one spark of feeling, have sported with the happiness, the peace, the security of the human race! The provisions
in our constitution meet each of these causes of so many evils, and I trust will for ever prove a sufficient barrier against them, should it be the fate of this country, at any future unhappy period, to have to dread a tyrannical disposition it has never yet expe- rienced.
Before I dismiss this subject, I cannot avoid re- calling to your recollection with emotion and grate- tude the memorable events of a very recent period, a period which will form as bright a page as any in the American annals. A large and considerable part of this important state appeared in open insur- rection against the government, after having been gradually seduced to it by the basest artifices, and the grossest misrepresentations of a few designing men, whose views in all probability were much deeper and more malignant than they were avowed to be. The executive branch of the government, in duty bound to suppress this insurrection by every constitutional means in its power, but willing before the exertion of force to try the effect of lenient measures, although justly irritated by some very exasperating instances of private injury in de- fiance of public authority, sent in concurrence with the executive of the state, a respectable delegation of men standing high in the public estimation, to state to the insurgents the criminality and danger of their conduct, and to try every pacific means of rendering a recou-se to arms unnecessary, even of- fering a general pardon on condition of general sub- mission. But this humane effort failed of its effect; though it conciliated many, the conduct of others too plainly shewed that nothing but arms could re- store the law to its wanted energy. This means was then employed, in a manner worthy of the go- vernment of a free people, by a militia of different states cheerfully obeying the orders they received, among whom were found many who, sacrificing all private considerations, engaged voluntarily in the service with a disinterestedness, alacrity and zeal which I believe have seldom been equalled, and never ex- ceeded on any similar occasion. Nor was this mer- it altogether confined to those who were personally partial to the government, and supported it with warmth from affection and sympathy. Several who had strong prejudices against some of its most im- portant measures, even those which afforded the pretext if not the ground of the insurrection, read- ily engaged with them in support of the common cause of their country, of republicanism whose prin- ciples were so daringly attacked, of order in danger of being immediately subverted, of justice which was set at defiance, of those social ties without which liberty is a name, and existence of no value. Success beyond the most sanguine expectations fol- lowed measures so honorably begun, and so nobly conducted. In three months the insurrection was suppressed. The principal fomenters of it either fled from the danger as it approached, or by dis- graceful means sheltered themselves from the punish- ment of their crimes. Many who had been more deluded than criminal were probably seriously con- vinced of their errors, and disposed to repair them. Not a drop of blood was hotly shed in the field. Vast numbers partook of an amnesty freely offered; a few only, comparatively, were reserved for trial; two alone have been convicted, to whom has since been extended the sceptre of mercy. The whole scene has exhibited a lesson for governments and people, which never before was displayed on the theatre of the world. God grant it may not be without its effect on other times and other coun- tries, nor ever be obliterated from the memory of our own.
2. The second class of offences I proposed to speak of was, such as are committed against the U- States, considered in their national character as one among the nations of the earth holding a common cognizance of offences against the universal law of society, committed out of the limits of any particu- lar territory.
Crimes of this description, among others, are piracy and murder committed on the high seas.— These being committed out of the particular terri- tory of any state must either go without any pu- nishment at all, or be equally punishable by any nation into whose country the criminals may after- wards arrive. They being unquestionably a viola- tion of that law of nature by which man is bound to abstain from injuring a fellow-creature wherever he meets with him, and more especially from rob- bing or murdering him; all civilized nations concur in the punishment of such offences, each nation proceeding to enforce the law of nature in such in- stances, in the manner which it conceives most con- ducive to justice. The laws of the United States have made special provisions on this important sub- ject.
3. The remaining class of offences I stated is, such as are committed against the United States considered in their national character as connected with other nations, either by the common tie of the law of nature, or by some particular treaty or com- pact.
The principles which regard the former class of offences are principles, in general much better un- derstood than the principles of this class. But yet this in itself is of great importance, and ever since the present unfortunate war has prevailed in Eu- rope it has been of the greatest. I hope therefore you will not think your time mispent, while we em- ploy a little consideration upon it.
Though particular incidental duties may be in- cumbent upon individuals, when their own nation is engaged either wholly or partially in a war, yet as in such a case it is most probable they will re- ceive express injunctions from the legislature, and there is no present appearance of such an event, I shall confine any attention under this head, to those which result from a state of general peace, as to the world in general or a state of Neutrality in respect to other nations at war when our own is at peace.
The first, though it gives occasion to the exer- cise of many humane and benevolent virtues, seldom will occasion offences of a kind peculiar to itself. It will therefore be sufficient, to observe generally, that no nation, when in a state of peace with ano- ther nation can justify doing it any injury whatever; that if any injury is committed by authority of the government itself, the government is immediately answerable for it, and if due satisfaction be not giv- en, it is a justifiable cause of war, or of any lesser species of hostility which may be deemed adequate
to the object; that if any injury is committed, tho' without the authority of government, by a citizen of one nation against another nation, or any indivi- dual of it, when no redress can be otherwise obtain- ed, it is a cause of complaint which may be present- ed by the one nation against the other, in conse- quence of which, it becomes the immediate duty of the government of the aggressor to enquire into the complaint, and upon satisfactory proof to afford all the redress it is susceptible of; and if this be not done, it may be considered as an indication of a hos- tile disposition in the government, and the nation injured may proceed to such vindicatory measures as upon a fair construction of all the circumstances of the case it shall deem most advisable. Since there- fore a whole nation may be answerable, even at the hazard of a war, for any violation of the law of na- tions which its citizens may commit, and since each citizen is entitled to the full protection of his own government upon the principles I have stated, it follows that each citizen must be answerable to his own government for a disregard of his duty in this particular, he being indispensably bound to serve his country by every means in his power, and not to injure, much less disgrace it by any. This being a result of natural reason and propriety, it forms a part of what is called the common law , though sta- tutes, to give it greater force and efficacy, frequently make express provisions on the subject, as has been done by the Congress of the United States. But as it is altogether a subject of national concern, as these entrusted with the national authority in this particular must be responsible for the rules of action observed in relation to it within their own territo- ry, as various unfoseen occasions from general principles, not capable in their nature of reaching every possible case, may be rendered justifiable by extraordinary exigencies of which alone each nation must judge for itself, each nation has the power of prescribing rules for the observation of its own citizens in this particular, and in our nation this power is expressly delegated to the Congress of the United States. If therefore they should prescribe different rules on this subject for the observation of their own citizens, than those which theoretical writers on the law of nations teach, I apprehend the citizens of the United States must obey that rule prescribed by the competent authority of their own govern- ment, which in the exercise of this, as well as every other species of constitutional authority, binds the whole because it is appointed a trustee for the whole to whose wisdom, and discretion the subject is submitted. Consequently, when an individual is guilty of a violation of what is usually termed the law of nations in our own territory, he is not chargeable with this in our courts merely as a viola- tion of the law of nations, but as a violation of the law of his own country of which the law of nations is a part, and of which Congress is the sole exposi- tor as to us when it takes that duty upon it. When no act of Congress interferes it is an offence at com- mon law, in the same manner and upon the same principle as any other offence committed against the common law, and in respect to which no par- ticular statute had passed. Where there is any spe- cial act on the subject, it is an offence against that act in the same manner and upon the same principle as an offence against any other act would be. In short, my idea is, that in all such instances each citizen is answerable to his own nation, and the nation itself answerable to other nations, for the proper conduct of its own citizens, over whose actions the nation necessarily must have control, so far as they affect the interests of other nations, otherwise upon no principle of justice, could each nation be fully responsible for the conduct of its own citizens in such instances, which all the writers on the law of nations agree they are. The same observations as to citizens will almost in every case equally apply to others residing in the country and amenable to its laws, as to citizens themselves.
2. Those general duties incumbent upon the go- vernment and its citizens as to mankind at large, when in a state of universal peace, cannot be chang- ed merely by the event of two other nations being at war, with which the United States have no con- nection. In regard to them, however, certain new duties arise superadded to the former, which being relative to the peculiar nature of the case, may be called duties of neutrality, it being inconsistent with the pacific conduct due to both to favour the hos- tile purposes of either. What may be construed to do so would open a large field of enquiry, with which I shall not now trouble you, but of which, within these few years you have heard a great deal. If one of the hostile powers should even be an ally, which the United States are bound by an antece- dent treaty, either generally or partially to assist, I apprehend no individual citizen could be justified in actually affording assistance, unless the Congress of the United States, with whom the power of de- claring war or authorising any actual hostilities is invested, should direct or authorise such assistance to be given, they being to judge in relation to those objects, in all cases of that description, of the na- ture of the obligation, as it originally existed, whe- ther any change of circumstances has since inter- vened to do away or weaken its force; or if assist- ance is to be afforded, at what time and in what manner, and also to what extent it shall be afford- ed; since in all these respects the nation, whom Congress represent on this occasion, is accountable on the one hand to the other contracting power for a proper observance of the public faith pledged by such treaty; and on the other hand the Congress are responsible to their own country, that any reci- procal rights of the United States are duly pro- tected and secured, and their real interest and safety not disregarded. Until therefore some active mea- sure of this kind be taken, each individual is un- doubtedly bound to act according to the existing situation of his country, which is a state of peace until a state of war, or any inferior state of actual hostility is created by the authority constituted for that purpose. In this situation the United States were at the commencement of the present Europe- an war, and have uniformly remained since. Upon these principles was grounded that proclamation of the President, the propriety and utility of which have become more apparent under every discussion. The Congress, though so often in session since the war began, never have decided that any obligation of duty required, or any motive of policy induced

the United States to take a part in the war either wholly or partially. Much less have they by any act authorised any hostilities whatever. On the contrary, they have passed laws more strictly to enforce those duties of neutrality, which, upon general principles, it is conceived were incumbent upon all before, tho' certainly it was a desirable thing on so important an occasion to obviate all possible doubts by express provisions of the legislature itself, which none could mistake, and accompanied with functions less indefinite than those which existed before.
Independently of what I have already said, the subject under discussion, if fully investigated, would naturally lead me to a consideration, under many aspects, of the nature and effect of treaties; those solemn national compacts in which the peace and happiness of mankind are so deeply interested, and which acquire a peculiar sanctity from the good faith they indispensably demand. But though no topic can be more interesting to us as individuals, especially at the present momentous crisis, yet as I know no case likely to arise upon which a judicial consideration of it will be requisite, for any official business before you, I forbear any particular observations upon it.
I shall now, gentlemen, only add, that the government we enjoy can alone be supported by a due mixture of vigilance and moderation; by inviolably adhering to the principles of the constitution but at the same time making reasonable allowances for real differences of opinion, whenever they occur, and the various difficulties to which the affairs of a great country will always be subjected; by paying proper obedience to the constituted authorities of our country, relying upon those guards against abuse which the constitution has not only carefully, but I am persuaded efficaciously provided; and by constantly bearing in mind, that that law which protects others protects ourselves, and therefore that we shall arrogate what no true friend to liberty can consistently claim, if we fail in that measure of obedience to the government of our country in cases that are not perfectly agreeable to us, which we expect from all others in those that are.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, April 18.
Mr. New, from the committee of enrolments reported an act for placing certain persons on the pension list, as duly enrolled, which received the signature of the Speaker accordingly.
Mr. Baldwin presented a bill for fixing the military establishment of the United States, which was twice read and referred to a committee of the whole on Tuesday.
Mr. Hillhouse presented bills for carrying into effect the Treaties with Spain and with certain Indian tribes, which were twice read and committed to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
Mr. Gregg presented two petitions against the British Treaty, (and mentioned his having mislaid two others) which were referred as usual.
A petition from sundry inhabitants of Taunton, (Mass.) praying to have that port made a port of delivery, was read and referred to the committee of the whole to whom was referred the report of the committee on the petition of the Boston Humane Society and others.
Mr. Gallatin said the member from the state of Delaware being so much indisposed as not to be able to attend the house, had requested him to represent that the legislature of that state had taken measures to prevent the future kidnapping of negroes and mulattoes, and that they wished Congress to make provision on the subject. He believed it would be best to bring the business before the house by way of resolution. He, therefore proposed one to the following effect:
“Resolved, That the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures be instructed to enquire into the propriety of making effectual provision for preventing the kidnapping of negroes and mulattoes and of carrying them from the respective states, contrary to the laws of the said states.”
Mr. W. Smith presented a petition from sundry merchants of Charleston, praying for such assistance on account of the spoliations committed upon their property by the British in the West Indies, by loan or otherwise, as Congress shall judge proper. Referred to the Committee of the whole on the state of the Union.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union; when the resolution for carrying the British Treaty into effect being under consideration, Mr. Giles delivered a speech against, and Mr. Goodhue one in favor of the resolution. The Committee then rose and had leave to sit again.
Mr. W. Smith proposed that the galleries should be cleared that the select committee to whom certain confidential papers relative to the treaty with Algiers was referred, might make their report, they were cleared accordingly.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
THE DUTY OF AN AMERICAN HERO.
ADDRESSED TO THE PRESIDENT.
“DEAR is that man, to virtue's cause is dear, Who for his suffering country drops a tear; But dearer he, whom patriot duty warms, To raise her champion in the strife of arms; To guard her safety from imperious force; To guide her armies and direct her course; Compel her vanquish'd enemies to yield, And rear her arches on the bloody field.”
Such have we seen thee in Columbia's cause, When injured freedom mourn'd her slighted laws.— Such have we seen thee in scenes of death, And blasted legions tremble at thy breath: War's dreadful clarion, drop thy murderous sound, And Peace, delightful Seraph! smile around!
What deep-felt raptures did this hour impart; What strong emotions burst from every heart; When first we saw the bloody contest end, And hail'd our country's favour and its friend!
Yet soon that country felt a new alarm, And call'd its hero to dispel the storm; To check the causes of domestic strife, And mould the expiring fabric into life.
With generous warmth you heard a nation's pray'r, Left Vernon's recesses for a life of care; With parent hand our shattered state renew'd, With wisdom temper'd and with strength endu'd; And in declining years, fresh toils have brav'd, To guard that Empire which your arms had sav'd.
But see new species lift their horrid shapes! Now civil contests rise, and discord gapes! Contentions fiercely swell its jarring notes, And faction hisses through her hundred throats— Intent our infant vessel to o'erwhelm; Or chase the long-tried Pilot from the helm!
Yet let not frowns like these thy hopes impair, Nor drive thy steady patience to despair; But let thy country, at this moment, prove, The manly efforts of thy generous love. Defend their heav'n-born rights, defend thine own; Let charter'd powers from lawless claims be known.
Like some tall cliff, which winds and waves assail, Stand thou the bulwark of the trembling vale— And while such threat'ning ills around are hurl'd, O resist thy glory to preserve a world!

SHOULD the house of representatives of the United States escape degradation and ahorrence among their constituents, it would be injustice in the extreme to charge their good fortune to the want of industry and pains on the part of their enemies. To the merit of unceasing exertions to disgrace that branch they are unquestionably entitled. Would to heaven their regard to veracity were equally clear.
In New-England, the negro representation has been a favorite topic of abuse. That the “negro representatives of Virginia,” should stand upon equal ground with the representatives from New-England, has afforded ample matter for appeals to the passions. Those who used this argument did not perceive (or at least did not allow the perception to influence their conduct) that as the present system of representation is a component part of the federal constitution, it is a strong trait of anti-federalism to excite the dissatisfaction of the people towards it—and that therefore they ought, for sake of consistency, to relinquish their cherished title of federalists—unless, indeed, this title confers a privilege of attacking with impunity that very constitution, of which it implies a reverence.
While these writers skirmished in the open plains of declamation and general censure, they were perfectly safe; but when they ventured into the defiles of figures and calculations, they have afforded their antagonists an easy victory.
A writer in the Columbian Centinel, published at Boston, in considering the contradictory constructions of the Constitution, with respect to Treaties, makes the following remarks: “The boasted majorities in the House, so often vaunted in the anarchical newspapers, have, IN NO ONE CASE, exceeded the overplus number of NEGRO REPRESENTATIVES. Such, however, are exhibited as the only safe keepers of the rights—the interpreters of the will of the people:—and on this power of numbers, matter not of what colour or description, in the Representative body, the truly insurgent doctrine is avowed, that Treaties are not binding on the House of Representatives—that assembly being free to carry them into effect or not, at its own discretion ***** What becomes of the power of the Senate, and of the equal vote of the small states, if the Negro Representatives of Virginia are allowed to annul the most solemn constitutional acts?”
I shall not detain the reader by any comment on the decency and decorum of this philippic against the House of Representatives. Of that he will judge for himself. I shall merely trespass on his time to expose the fallacy of the assertion, on which the whole is grounded, “that the majority has in no one case exceeded the overplus number of Negro Representatives.”
The census taken in the year 1791, on which the present ratio of representation has been fixed, lies before me;—from it I shall make a short extract, and mark, reader, how a plain tale shall put him down.” By this census it appears that the Southern States have negro-slaves as follows:
  Maryland, - - - - - 103,036.   Virginia, - - - - - 292,627.   Kentucky, - - - - - 12,430.   North Carolina, - - - - - 100,571.   South Carolina, - - - - - 107,094.   Georgia, - - - - - 29,204.     645,022 
Of this number, three fifths amounting to 387,012 are entitled to representatives, at the rate of one member for every 33,000 slaves. Thus it appears that were the whole number collected together, so as to avoid losses in each state by fractional remainders, the negro representation in Congress would only amount to eleven members—probably those remainders may reduce the number to ten or even nine.
Now, reader, what idea shall we entertain of such dogmatic assertions, founded on error? The majority has fluctuated from fifteen to twenty-seven
—yes this writer asserts, they have “in no one case exceeded the number of negro representatives,” who, we find, cannot exceed eleven!—It is not worth mentioning that on every late division, four Southern members, two from Maryland and two from South Carolina, have uniformly been in the minority.
The writer whose irritating observations have been quoted, either did or did not examine the census. If he did, the reader will affix what epithet he pleases to his conduct: if he did not, and be a man of candour, he will unquestionably blush for his rashness and want of examination. In either case, this instance, with some I have already given, ought to inspire with caution the readers of newspapers, so that they may not be disposed to receive or trust the ipsi dixit of any man, whether “a negro representative from Virginia” or a “federal” writer in the Columbian Centinel.

P. S. Virginia, which is so extremely obnoxious on the subject of “Negro representatives,” has above 70,000 more white inhabitants than Massachusetts, and 20,000 more than Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1796.
Notifications for meetings of the Insurance Companies in New-York, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of continuing the business of Insurance at this alarming crisis, are published in the papers of that city.
The rapid fall in the prices of our produce, the total stagnation in the stock market—the hauling up of the shipping, the melancholy gloom on every face, excepting those who have nothing to lose, afford convincing proof “that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark.”
Our readers will observe, that the profits of the entertainments this evening at Ricketts' amphitheatre are to be applied to the fund already established for providing wood for the poor: it is therefore hoped that the generous and humane will be particular in their attendance at the circus.
So far as the returns have been made it appears that Sam. Adams, Esq. has a majority of votes as governor of Massachusetts, and that he will be re-elected by a large majority.
COMMUNICATIONS.
By the ant federal prints, any endeavours to countenance a supreme law of the land, in favor of peace and prosperity, is an attempt to bully Congress—while indecent remonstrances, in opposition to all law, are denominated the glorious spirit of 1776.
It is said in the Aurora of this morning, that “all who do not sign the petition in this city in favor of the treaty, must be considered as opposed to it.” Mr. Bache must then admit, that all who have not signed the petitions against the treaty are in favor of it: it is a bad rule which will not work both ways.
Mr. Goodhue, in his speech yesterday, asserted, that the treaty with Great-Britain contained concessions in favour of the United States which she had never made to any other country—advantages which she had not conferred even on her own citizens, and for which the United States had not given up one iota.
In the Aurora of yesterday, Mr. Gallatin states the excess of expenses beyond our income. Query, why is it so? The expenses of the Western Insurrection are said to exceed 1,200,000 dollars, that sum might have been usefully applied to the purchase of the public debt. Who is to blame, those who impose taxes to pay off the public debt, or those who by their “political fins” promote an insurrection which cost upwards of a million? Those who endeavor to raise revenues adequate to current expenses, or those who by hunting down the officers of the revenue, make the revenues unproductive?
Citizen Lenier, a French writer on the new constitution, when tracing the character which he should with the man to possess who is to be charged with the executive functions, and painting as perhaps he thought, a mere ideal character, has drawn that of the President with such truth and accuracy that all who read must own it so.
(Charleston Paper.)
“To a great firmness of character, to a fund of wisdom acquired by long experience from business and men, he should join that conciliatory spirit which tempers the passions, silences contentions, and rallies all private interests, round the common interest of liberty, justice and order. His name must never have been attached to any of those parties which have rent the republic, and left in many hearts, fears and resentment. He must have passed the revolution without having dishonoured himself by its errors, or given occasion for suspicion of ambition or interested intrigue. He must have rendered such essential service to the republic, as to merit great esteem without having created in the minds of his countrymen, any invidious or jealousies. He must be no stranger to the exterior relations, the science of which tends to maintain the peace of the state abroad, nor to the knowledge of interior administration, which secures tranquility at home. In a word, to principles of integrity which are proof against any attack, he should add good and sound principles of liberty and a pure, an enlightened patriotism.”

Extract of a Letter from a Merchant of New-York, to his friend here, dated April 18.
Dear Sir. Yours of the 16th I received, requesting to know what premium our underwriters would ask on your brig Malabar. Owing to the resolutions in Congress brought forward by Mr. GALATIN, all Insurances and other business is at a stand: nothing doing: the merchants from the country, who came for a supply of goods, all going back without any, as our merchants decline selling at present. Produce has fallen amazingly since Saturday. Superfine flour at 11 dollars. Beef at 9 dols. Pork, 14. Wheat, 18/ per bushel and other things in proportion; indeed there is no sale for any thing. Our Banks, I understand, have got alarmed: very little they will do, as they seem to have lost confidence in the government—lay the majority of the House of Representatives. The consequence I fear will be fatal to a number of our merchants and speculators here, if opinions do not alter in Congress; but I hope in God they will. If they do not, I am afraid our government will be afloat. The Original letter may be seen at this Office.

NEW-YORK, April 18.
We are informed by one of the managers of the Alms-House Lottery, that the 10,000 dollar prize, drawn on Friday, is the property of a free black man, named DERRY, formerly the slave of Mr. George Burns, deceased, who many years since, kept the city-tavern in Broad-Way. His widow is still living, aged about 80 years, and has for several years been, and is still, supported by faithful Derry, at the rate of £ 30 per annum, which he paid out of his monthly earnings. We are further informed, that when he received the information of his good fortune, he replied, “Well, now I will be able to maintain my old mistress gently.”

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, S K E T C H E S OF THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, From the peace of 1783, to the termination of the present Session of Congress. By MATHEW GAREY. CONDITIONS. I. This work will be comprised in two or three octavo volumes, each about 400 pages. II. The price to subscribers will be two dollars per volume, handsomely bound. III. No money will be required till the volumes are delivered. IV. Should any of the subscribers disapprove of the work when complete, they may decline receiving it. V. It is expected to be ready for press in the Spring of 1797. VI. As soon after the above time, as one thousand copies are subscribed for, the printing shall commence, and shall be finished as speedily as possible. VII. Subscriptions received by the Author, No. 118, Market-street, and by the chief Booksellers throughout the United States. TO THE PUBLIC. THE object of the proposed work, is, to present to public view a connected series of the chief events of a period of American history, that does not yield, in importance, to any period of equal length, in the peaceful annals of any country in the world. Desiring to excite no expectations but such as he shall endeavour to satisfy, the writer is thus early in announcing, that the body and confidence of a regular history, is not to be looked for in this work: neither his talents nor his avocations allow him to hope for this. His humbler task shall be to sketch out the most prominent features. It shall be his study to collect and arrange the most interesting materials—to smooth the rugged path—for abler hands, who, by such means, will find their labours abridged, and their progress accelerated. His chief view will be, to give the History of the United States as a confederated Republic. Nevertheless, notice will be taken of the most remarkable circumstances in the history of the individual States, as far as they can be collected. This information shall be classed under separate appendices. The Author solicits the assistance of such Gentlemen as may be possessed of documents calculated to promote the execution of his plan. They shall be received with due gratitude—carefully preserved—and safely returned. February 9. 1aw12t

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington. The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prize are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGETT. ** Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore or Gideon Denison, Savannah; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
