EXTRACTS From the Documents respecting the application of HAMET CARAMALLI, Ex-Bashaw of Tripoli. From William Eaton to the Secretary of the Navy of the United States. SYRACUSE, July 6th, 1805.
SIR, I have the honour to enclose herewith, copies of my communications to the commodore since I left Egypt—the next occasion shall give the corres- pondence. I cannot but observe our pacification has been too much precipitated—was it contemplated that so for- midable a squadron should be sent into this sea, to negotiate without shewing itself before the enemy's port? Such is the fact!—If it had only appeared off the place, I have no doubt the effect would have been a peace without money; if it had gone into vi- gerous co-operation, Joseph Pashaw must have re- signed at discretion, or saved himself by flight; he was calculating more on this, than on defence—but we have peace! The whole expense of my expedition in cash a- mounts to thirty-nine thousand one hundred and eighty dollars fifty-eight cents, payment of troops included—as soon as I can effect a full settlement, my accounts will be transmitted; it will be necessary to negotiate bills on your department, in order to en- able me to do this, to the amount of seventeen thou- sand eighty-two dollars 53 cents.
I learn that our consul at Gibraltar, Mr. Gavino, intends resigning. George Dyson, Esq. who was appointed navy agent here by commodore Preble, and who has discharged the duties of that office with activity and truth, I am persuaded, would be glad to transfer his concerns to Gibraltar, if the consulate there might be conferred on him. It is believed no man would acquit himself in that trust more to the satisfaction of government—perhaps none has bet- ter deserved it—commodore Preble would, I think, say as much. I have the honour to be, &c. WILLIAM EATON.
From Tobias Lear, to the Secretary of the Navy of the United States. On board the United States' frigate Constitution. Syracuse harbour, July 5, 1805.
SIR, Since I had the honour of addressing you under date of the 3d of November, I have thought it my duty to remain in the vicinity of Tripoli, that I might be at hand for entering into a negotiation with the bashaw, whenever he should give evidence of his disposition to do so on proper terms; and I accord- ingly took up my residence in Malta; being well as- sured that nothing would occur to make my pre- sence necessary at Algiers during the winter, and knowing that the Dey was perfectly satisfied as to the cause of my extended absence from his do- minions.
On the 28th of December I received a letter from Don Gerardo Joseph De Tauza, the Spanish consul at Tripoli, stating, that on the 17th of December he had a private audience with the Bashaw of Tripoli on the business of his nation, which being over, the Bashaw introduced the subject of the war with the United States, and expressed his willingness to con- clude it, if the Americans were disposed to come forward on proper grounds. The Spanish consul answered that he presumed they would have no ob- jections to finish the war upon honourable terms. There he says the subject was dropped; and he took the liberty of making this communication to me, having heard that I was in Malta; adding as his own opinion, that if I would come over to Tripoli, in a flag of truce, he had no doubt but a peace might soon be concluded on honourable and satisfactory terms. As I had reason to believe that this commu- nication was made to me with the knowledge, if not by the express desire of the Bashaw, I felt in no haste to reply to it, as I was persuaded that, if he then discovered a desire to terminate the business, he would be more anxious to do so when the season for active operations should approach. On the 28th of March commodore Barron sent a small vessel to Tripoli with clothing, &c. for our captive country- men, and by that occasion I acknowledged the re- ceipt of the Spanish consul's letter; and observed to him, that as we had last year made several over- tures to the Bashaw for peace, which had been re- jected, he might be assured that we should never make the first advance again on that subject. But notwithstanding our force in this sea was very consi- derable, and would at the proper season, act with decided vigour; yet we should be ready to receive and consider any propositions which might come from the Bashaw before that season arrived; pro- vided such propositions were compatible with the dignity and rising character of our nation, and tend- ing to an honourable and permanent peace.
On the 21st of April, I received by the return of the same vessel from Tripoli, another letter from the Spanish consul saying that he had communicated to the Bashaw the contents of my letter of the 28th March, who had directed him to inform me, that to shew his disposition to end the war he would make a proposition, viz. That the United States should pay him 200,000 dollars for peace and ransom, and deliver up to him gratis, all his subjects in their power and make full restitution of the property taken from them. The Spanish consul added, that he con- sidered the proposition of the bashaw rather intend- ed to form the basis for opening a negotiation, than made with an expectation of its being granted. At the same time he mentioned the mode of communication which might be pursued, if I should think proper to come off Tripoli with a view to opening a negotiati- on. These propositions were so completely inadmis- sible that after communicating them to commodore Barron, I thought no more of them, fully expecting further advances either through the same or some other channel; as it evidently appeared to be the wish of the Bashaw to open a negotiation.
Between the time last mentioned, and the 18th May, there were intimations made in various ways of the disposition of the Bashaw to treat; but none in a direct or official manner. On that day commo- dore Barron wrote me the letter No. 1, to which on the 19th, I returned the answer No. 2, and on the 22d he informed me he had relinquished the command of the squadron to capt. Rogers. On the 24th I em- barked on board the United States' frigate Essex, capt. James Barron, to proceed to Tripoli. On the 26th in the morning we saw the town of Tripoli distant about ten miles, and at the same time the U- nited States' frigates Constitution and President. At ten o'clock A. M. capt. Barron and myself went on board the former, when captain Rodgers received the letter of commodore Barron relinquishing to him the command of the squadron, &c. He returned with us to the Essex, when we stood in for the town, and within a short distance from the battery hoisted the white flag, which was immediately answered by the same from the Bashaw's castle. In half an hour a

boat came off with the Spanish consul and an officer of the Bashaw. I informed the Spanish consul that I had, agreeably to the desire of the Bashaw, to treat, come for that purpose; but that the propositions which had been made through him (the Spanish consul) were totally out of the question, and must be relinquished before I would consent to move one step in the business; and that if I had not the most unequivocal evidence that they would be put aside in toto, I would not go on shore, and told him he had better return with my determination, and come off again the next day, if the Bashaw was desirous of having peace on terms which we could admit. He left the ship, and the wind during the night blew so heavily on shore that the ships were obliged to stand off, and were not able to come in near the town again until the 29th, when at 9 A. M. the Spanish consul came on board, bringing the tiscara or commission of the Bashaw to treat on his part, on the principal points of accommodation. We now removed from the Essex to the Constitution. The Bashaw relinquished all pretensions to a payment for peace or any future demand of any nature whatever; but demanded the sum of 150,000 dollars for the ransom of our countrymen, and the delivery of his subjects gratis. To this I objected as strongly as to the first proposition; and after some time spent in discussing the subject, I told the Spanish consul, that to prevent unnecessary delay and altercation I would give him in writing my ultimatum , which must be at once decided upon, viz. That there should be an exchange of prisoners man for man, so far as they would go—that the Bashaw should send all the Americans in his power on board the squadron now off Tripoli—that his subjects should be brought over from Syracuse, and delivered to him with all convenient speed, and as he had three hundred Americans, more or less, and we one hundred Tripolitans, more or less, I would engage to give him for the balance in his favour 60,000 dollars—that a treaty of peace should be made upon honourable and mutually beneficial terms. With this he went on shore in the evening; but apparently without any expectation of its being accepted.
On the 30th, at 11 A. M. the Spanish consul came again on board the Constitution; and urged me very strongly to go on shore, where every thing, he said should be satisfactorily arranged; but as I had determined not to deviate from the ground I had taken, I declined; stating to him that it now depended on the bashaw to terminate the business by a single word, and that very little time more would be given for that purpose. He requested permission to send a letter on shore, to which he would await an answer; this was granted, and on receiving an answer to this letter, he again urged my going on shore in the strongest terms. This I steadily refused to do. The wind increasing, obliged the ship to stand off, and prevented the Spanish consul from going on shore this night.
At 8 A. M. on the 31st of May, the Spanish consul went on shore, promising to come off again in a few hours with the Bashaw's answer. At noon he came off, and said that the Bashaw had at length agreed to the sum of sixty thousand dollars, for the balance of the prisoners; but that he could not think of delivering up the Americans until his subjects were ready to be delivered to him, and again urging me to go on shore. I told him, in one word, that the business had been protracted beyond what I conceived to be a reasonable time; but as the weather yesterday would not admit of our countrymen being sent on board, I would allow the bashaw twenty-four hours, from this time, to accept my propositions in toto, or to reject them. He begged for further time, but without effect; and left the ship at 5 P. M.
At 11 A. M. June 1st, our unfortunate countryman, captain Bainbridge came on board, who had been permitted to come off, under the guarantee of the Danish consul, and Sadi Mahomet Dighies, the minister of foreign affairs. He assured me that the Americans would not be delivered up until a treaty of peace should be made with the Bashaw, as peace was more his object than the sum he might get for the captives; and as it was our intention to conclude a treaty; it would be cruel to let our countrymen languish in captivity merely on the punctilio of negotiating the treaty before or after their delivery; as whatever related to them was already understood. I informed him of all which had passed between the Spanish consul and myself; and told him that as the Spanish consul had come on board as the commissioner of the Bashaw, with his credentials, which he had delivered to me, I considered the business as now brought nearly to a close, and that a very short time remained for the Bashaw to make up his mind. However, as I should make no difference in the terms of the treaty, whether it should be drawn up before or after the delivery of the prisoners, I would enter into an immediate negotiation for that purpose, with any proper character whom the bashaw might send on board duly authorised; but I would have nothing more to do with the Spanish consul. But the Americans should be sent on board without waiting the arrival of the Tripolitans from Syracuse. Captain B. left us in the evening and went on shore.
In the forenoon of the 2d of June, Mr. Nissen, his Danish majesty's consul at Tripoli, came off to the Constitution, bringing a commission from the Bashaw, to negotiate with me on the articles of the treaty. As I had a sketch prepared I communicated it to Mr. Nissen, who observed that there were some articles more favourable to us than were to be found in any treaty which the Bashaw had with any other nation; yet he would take them on shore and submit them to the Bashaw. He did so, and returned on board again about 4 P. M. saying that the Bashaw had consented to the articles; but was very desirous of having an article expressive of our determination to withdraw our forces, &c. from Derne, and that we should endeavour to persuade his brother to leave his dominions. To the first I could have no objection, as it would be a natural consequence of peace; but I insisted that if his brother should leave his territory, he should have his wife and children restored to him. Mr. Nissen thought the latter clause would meet objections. However he took it on shore.
On the morning of the 3d of June, Mr. Nissen came off again, and declared that the Bashaw would not agree to deliver the wife and children of his brother. I adhered to that part of the article, and after some little time he returned on shore. When Mr. Nissen had left the ship, I told commodore Rodgers, and captain Smith of the Vixen, who was on board, that if the Bashaw should persist in his opposition to this article, I would not suffer the business to be broken off, and leave our countrymen in slavery; but would at all hazards take a boat and go on shore, if the white flag should be hauled down which Mr. N. said would be the signal, if the Bashaw persisted in his determination. At 4 P. M. Mr. N. came off again with the seal of the Bashaw to the preliminary articles; but with a condition that time should be allowed for the delivery of the wife and family of his brother. I consented to it, and we went on board the Vixen to stand in near the harbour. When we were close to the town, we fired a gun and hauled down the white flag. A salute of 21 guns, was fired from the batteries, and answered by the Constitution. I went into the harbour in the Constitution's barge with the flag of the United States displayed, and was received at the landing place by the American officers, who had been in captivity, with a sensibility more easily to be conceived than described. An immense concourse of people crowded the shore and filled the streets, all signifying their pleasure on the conclusion of the peace.
This, I believe, is the first instance, where a peace has been concluded by any of the Barbary states on board a ship of war. I must here pay a tribute of justice to commodore Rodgers, whose conduct during the negotiation on board, was mixed with that manly firmness and evident wish to continue the war, if it could be done with propriety, while he displayed the magnanimity of an American, in declaring that we fought not for conquests, but to maintain our just rights and national dignity, as fully convinced the negotiators that we did not ask, but grant peace. You will pardon me if I here introduce a circumstance evincive of the spirit of our countrymen.—At breakfast this morning, commodore Rodgers observed, that if the Bashaw would consent to deliver up our countrymen without making peace, he would engage to give him 200,000 dollars instead of 60,000, and raise the difference between the two sums from the officers of the navy, who, he was perfectly assured, would contribute to it with the highest satisfaction.
In the evening I visited Sidi Mahomet Dighies, whom I found a sensible, liberal, and well informed man. He is a great friend of ours, and has always been opposed to the war with us.
On the 4th of June, at 11 A. M. the flag staff was raised on the American house, and the flag of the United States displayed, which was immediately saluted with 21 guns from the castle and forts, and was returned by the Constitution, and all our unfortunate countrymen sent off on board their ships. At noon I had an audience of the Bashaw, by appointment, and was received with every mark of respect and attention. He paid me many compliments and expressed himself on the peace with much manliness. He is a man of very good presence, manly and dignified, and has not in his appearance so much of the tyrant as he has been represented to be.—His court was much more superb than that of Algiers. We spoke but little on the subject of the treaty, &c.—He observed that he had given stronger evidences of his confidence in us than he had ever before given to any nation. He had delivered our people before he had received his own; and as to the money he was to receive, it was merely nominal—the sum was nothing, but it was impossible to deliver them without something. The other articles of the treaty I might form as I pleased; being convinced I would not insert any thing which was not just. I returned his compliments, and assured him he would find our nation as just as he had found them brave and persevering.
On the 6th of June the Constitution sailed for Malta and Syracuse, to return to Tripoli with the money and the Tripoline prisoners. The Constellation sailed also for Derne, to bring off the few of our countrymen who might be there. I remained at Tripoli till the return of the Constitution, to establish an agent and make a final settlement of our business there. Dr. John Ridgely, of Maryland, late surgeon of the Philadelphia, was strongly recommended as a proper person to reside at Tripoli till the pleasure of the President was known, and I accordingly appointed him, as will be seen by the enclosed power and letter of instructions.
On the 10th, I sent to the Bashaw two copies of the treaty, with translations, in the Arabick language, to be signed by him, and his divan. He requested me to attend the divan and to see the form of business there; and as this was a favour never before granted to a christian, he gave it as an evidence of his respect, &c. I accordingly attended, and was seated on the same seat with the Bashaw, on his right hand.—Great order and solemnity were observed.—I presented the treaty to the Bashaw, who delivered it to his first secretary to read article by article. Some observations and short debates took place on several of the articles, but the Bashaw appeared to explain them satisfactorily. After the whole was read, the form of its presentation and acceptance, was written by the secretary, and the seals of the Bashaw, and members of the divan affixed to the two copies; one of which the Bashaw delivered to me in a solemn manner, and with many expressions of friendship. (He speaks good Italian.)
On the 17th the Constitution arrived, but the wind was too high to admit of her landing the Tripolines or money—on the 18th, both were sent on shore; but instead of 100 Tripolines there were only 48, and 41 blacks. Seven had been carried to the United States by commodore Preble, and I could never obtain an accurate account of the whole number. I had the Bashaw's tiscara respecting those who had been taken by commodore Dale, which had been left in hands of Mr. Nissen, which I found expressed 21 Tripolines and Turks, for whom, and their goods, 7 Americans were to have been delivered. I was there obliged to make it appear that the blacks were his subjects, and were to be included in the exchange. I found no difficulty in the case, though I am sure he was not convinced of the propriety of it. Those in the United States, I assured him would be returned by the first opportunity. The 60,000 dollars were paid, and a receipt therefore given on the treaty left with Dr. Ridgely, and a duplicate thereof which is enclosed. No consular present is mentioned in the treaty; but that, it is understood, will be given as usual with all nations when a consul shall be sent; it does not exceed 6,000 dollars, and the particulars I shall send in my next, as I shall also, my accounts, which cannot yet be adjusted, as our quarantine at Malta did not admit of my having that communication with Mr. Higgins which was necessary for settling, as I had given him bills on the house of sir Francis Baring and co. in London, for the money sent to Tripoli, &c.
On the 20th commodore Rodgers came on shore, and had an audience of the Bashaw, where the assurances of friendship &c. were repeated by the Bashaw.
On the 21st in the evening, we sailed for Malta & Syracuse; arrived at the former on the morning of the 24th, where we remained two days, and sailed for this place.
I shall in a future letter, give a more particular account of Tripoli, &c. At present I confine myself to the subject of the negotiation and treaty. As I have always been opposed to the Egyptian & Derne expedition, I shall say nothing on that subject, especially, as I presume, there will be full communications respecting it from other quarters.
On the 5th March last, we were indebted to Algiers for one year's annuity, deducting the cargo of timber, &c. which had been sent. I had learned that they were in great want of wheat at that place, and it struck me that if a cargo of that article was sent to them on account of our annuity, it would be received with gratitude, and be a great saving to the United States; I therefore purchased a cargo of about 12,000 bushels at Malta, which cost with charges, about 32,000 dollars, and sent it to Algiers with a proper letter on the occasion; and I am happy to inform you that it arrived in good time, and in fine order, and was more valuable as it relates to the U. States, than a cargo of money would have been at that time. It was received as intended, as a proof of friendship and an evidence of good faith; and will settle our accounts for one year at least.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1806.
On Monday last the election for a Delegate to represent this Borough in the next General Assembly, was held; the votes were as follows:
For William Newsum, jun. 260 Richard H. Lee, 228 Majority, 32
Mr. Newsum was of course returned. We do not remember on any occasion to have seen so full an election.
By Captain Walker, in 23 hours from Baltimore, we have received the papers of yesterday, which contains no foreign intelligence later than has been already published.
With equal surprize and indignation, we notice the following article:
NEW-YORK, April 26. Captain Kennedy, who arrived here yesterday from Tennessee, informs, that there was a British squadron cruising between St. Vincents and Madeira—another squadron between Madeira and Tennessee—and a third squadron of 6 sail of the line, 6 frigates and two brigs, cruising off Palma. And, that a French brig of 18 guns, had just arrived there, in 8 days from Cadiz. On her passage she had an engagement with a British corvette; and in attempting to board her, the Frenchman lost a lieutenant and 5 men, who, failing in their attempt, were kept on board the corvette.
Last evening the sloop Richard, from Brandwyne, was fired at by the Leander, and whilst laying to, a ball struck John Pierce, (brother to the captain) in the neck, as he was standing at the helm, and killed him instantly. Two shots were fired at the sloop, the first went about 10 yards off.
The ship Aurora, Fairchild, from the Havanna, belonging to Samuel Russel, was captured off the Hook yesterday, by one of the blockading squadron, after having a pilot on board, and ordered for Halifax.
The brig Ceres, from the West Indies, was captured yesterday off the Hook by the above blockading squadron, and ordered for Halifax.
The three masted schooner Nimrod, Manning, from Curraooa for New-York, was captured yesterday morning, off Sandy Hook, by the British ship of war Leander, and ordered for Halifax.
The frigate Cambrai, now off the mouth of our harbour, is from Halifax, and the Driver sloop of war from a cruise. The Leander, we understand, will sail for Halifax on Sunday next.
The sensation which this conduct has excited in New-York, may be imagined from the following, received from our correspondent at Baltimore.
“By this morning's mail we received the following paragraph from our correspondent at New-York—Postscript—Just as our paper was put to press Ten Cart loads of Provisions, which had been procured in this city for the British squadron now blockading our harbour, and which had been arrested on the way to the ships, and brought back to town, were conveyed to the alms-house, amidst the loud huzzas of the multitude.”
Office of the American, Tues-3 day morning, 29th April.”
REMARKS. On the message of the President to Congress, of the 14th instant, on the subject of the Tunisian demand.
Excellent! I do not know when I have seen a production of our great Palatines equal to this message. Let us see how the thing stands. The Mediterranean fund, having ceased will cause a deficit of about a million of dollars; but as this cannot very well be permitted, behold the administration driven to their wits end to contrive some pretext for keeping it up; since in reality government, notwithstanding the former promises of the party in power, can no more go without taxes under the Presidency of Thomas Jefferson than of any other man. What's to be done? we cannot undertake to say absolutely what has been done, but we may conjecture what might have taken place. It might, for instance, have been found an easy matter, by giving the Tunisian a little more money, or what perhaps would have been better still, a few more wives, to induce him to make some demand, and to threaten war, in case it was not complied with. Which would afford an excellent pretext for the President to come out with a message, and very modestly to ask the national councils to grant him a million of dollars a year to carry on this threatened war. All this would be natural enough; but unluckily for Mr. Jefferson, we mischievous-making federal editors have always at our tongue's end some one or other of his wise maxims, with which he formerly used to amuse and flatter, but which somehow never in any single instance yet, have appeared in his practice. Among these happens to be one quite applicable to the case before us. In the first message he delivered, he very sagely expressed himself thus:
“But sound principles will not justify our taxing the industry of our fellow-citizens to accumulate treasure for wars to happen we know not when, and which might not perhaps happen, but from the temptation offered by treasure.”
Thus the reader in those two messages, has both text and comment before him at one view.

I could not help going to Bedlam on Monday, it being the last day of its session, the last exhibition this season, of frantic madness, gross folly, and excessive ignorance; and I was well paid for going: for I have learned to know what little creatures are most of our great men, and how insignificant a thing may be a member of congress. There are men there who vote on questions of finance, who
Cannot take two from twenty for their lives, And leave eighteen.
There are men, Who are not worth the dust which the rude wind Blows in our face;
Yet they can hire the writing of a circular letter to their constituents, and when at home
They 'mongst them sit like a descended god; And have a kind of honour sets them off, More than a mental seeming:
Yea, numerous are these in congress who are considered the brothers and sons of Solomon, yet who “have not so much brain as ear-wax.” But I am told 'tis always so in large assemblies, thus chosen: I do not believe it: it is slanderous all public bodies since the flood. The apologists for the slenderness of the miserable mass of talents in our congressional Babel, quote the liturgy, and say, “as it was
in the beginning, is now and ever shall be.” And is it so? Alas. Yes, till “rain drive swift her ploughshare o'er creation,” the miserable vulgus will place their political affections on “stocks & stones;” they will elect even those who have not
So much in them as in the ordinary Of nature's safe work.
“There is no kernel in these little nuts,” yet of such are made members of congress. There is not a wise man in the house except Sloan, Bedinger, and about one hundred and twenty more, of equal wit and discretion. We have an academy of arts and sciences, a philosophical society, numerous medical societies, and ecclesiastical societies: here candidates are examined before admitted to membership. I wish we had a CONGRESSIONAL SOCIETY composed of honest men, gentlemen and scholars, whose business it should be to examine the character, talents and fitness, of all the candidates for congress in all the districts of the union, and after due examination if found worthy, to give them letters of licence to become candidates for a seat in congress. In such case how many who now
—Have knee and approbation With Senators on the bench—
would be holding the handles of a plough, or felling the woods of the forest; I have in my “mind's eye” about eight scores of such: there are so many talkers too, such as J. Clay the constant talker, and Smilie, who is always a talking; and Sloan who thinks he can never talk too much; that “speech will shortly be commendable only in magpies and parrots;” and how obstinate, and contradictory, and inconsistent are they! But
—'Tis the time's plague, And madmen lead the blind:
I'll tell you what a member of congress is: I'll give you an expressive Greekism, EIS TON ONTON, one of the things that are; “a thing of threads and patches,” “a thing of nothing;” it is a bodiless shirt without sleeves, all flaps and binder parts. From being a member of congress “good lord deliver me;” and yet, there is no knowing to what a man may be left; there are some good men and men of sense that are at this moment in this predicament. But stop, I'll give you a few anecdotes of Monday's Bedlamising.
Mr. Quincy introduced two memorials from Messrs. Ogden and Smith of New-York. The memorial of Ogden was well drawn up, long, and contained the most conclusive circumstantial evidence, that the present administration knew of the intended expedition of Miranda; that Jefferson the and Madison, the would be president, held several consultations with Miranda on the subject of the expedition. Almost every member in the house was convinced that the administration permitted the expedition, and had intended to wink at it; yet Early, that Peter Early of Georgia introduced a resolution declaring that there was no evidence in the memorial that tended in the least to implicate the administration. To be sure there was not the evidence necessary in a court of justice, but there were, however, proofs almost as strong as proofs of holy writ. Early's resolution was carried by a vast majority. J. Randolph was however among the noes. This gentleman is a most useful states-citizen; should he hereafter be as correct in all, as he has been in some things this session.
Ex illo Corydon, Corydon est tempore, nobis.
The memorialists had leave to withdraw their memorial; but when published, the world will be astonished at the duplicity of democratic stars of the first magnitude, that shine darkly. The conduct of Judge Talmadge of New-York, by whom the memorialists were examined, exceeds anything of the kind ever witnessed in this country. It was said in the Senate, that the house ought not to express an opinion on the conduct of this Talmadge, as probably he would next session be tried under an impeachment, for the most illegal, tyrannical and inquisitorial conduct in this case. This Talmadge is son-in-law of the vice-president Clinton; such was his recommendation to office; for neither his talents, nor virtues, nor legal knowledge, fitted him for a judgeship. The House and Senate each spent about an hour in trying to get rid of this two-edged thing.
The third reading of the bill to enable gen. Eaton to settle his accounts at the treasury, under the direction of the secretary of state, was called up. D. R. Williams, a piece of froth from South Carolina, J. Randolph's pointer, a tin canister tied to a dog's tail, as Johnson said of Boswell and himself, whose oratorical talents are often exemplified in a call for adjournment, wished the bill might lie on the table; or in other words, be postponed till the next session; the motion was carried. Thus he, who has probably saved the United States by his enterprise and courage, more than a million, is denied the payment of his due till another session. He was a year since in the country of an enemy; little did he then think of being now in his enemy's country.
The committee who were to find charges and proofs of bribery in the postmaster general, was discharged. Granger, for his election from office of better men than himself, and for the stupidity of his manner of rendering reasons for doing so, ought to be turned from his office; but as to the charge of corrupting Duane it was all nonsense; the thing was NATURA SUA impossible, (for who can communicate offensive smells to a polecat?) nor was such corruption ever attempted.
Wm. Pinckney, esq. attorney general of Maryland, was appointed unanimously by the senate as minister to England, with Mr. Monroe, who will return next fall. The appointment of this federal and highly respectable, and very suitable character honours both the president and the senate. “These is some soul of goodness in things evil,” or, after the wretched appointments of foreign ministers heretofore, Mr. Jefferson would not have consented to this solitary good appointment.
Mr. Randolph wished to take the duty wholly from salt, and continue the duties whence arises the Mediterranean fund. The senate determined to continue both, but to reduce the duty on salt from 20 to 12 cents per bushel. Mr. Randolph's earnestness to stop the salt duty entirely, induced father Findley to say that it proceeded from a wish to embarrass the administration. D. R. Williams declared such insinuations BASE; very loud call of ORDER! ORDER! ORDER! Mr. Findley rose, but was so chocked with rage he could hardly be understood. He was called most loudly to order, but refused a long time to sit. A message from the senate fortunately put an end to the altercation. Afterwards Mr. Randolph spoke with uncommon coolness and propriety. The house agreed to the senate's amendment, 12 cents instead of 20 on salt.
In the course of Mr. J. Randolph's remarks he cast his eye on col. Lyon, close to whom sat at the time T. M. Randolph. T. M. Randolph thought J. Randolph meant something for him; he rose with great trepidation and excessive rage. He said that between him and J. Randolph there was, from nature, an immeasurable difference of talents, [“There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the dead, to tell us this.”] but he [T. M.] exceeded John as much in patriotism, as John exceeded him in talents. [Humpty, very modest, and true as sixpence and four pence make five pence.] He knew Johns mode of warfare, powder ball and even steel; he was willing to deal with him in either. After a volley of heterogeneous nonsense, he squatted.—This was the first time that an open challenge for a DUEL was ever given in that house. Some suppose that

T. M. R. wished to rid the President of this John R. The President, like King John to Hubert, might address his son in law thus,
Throw thine eye On yon young boy; I'll tell the what, my friend, He is a very serpent in my way, And where soe'er this foot of mine doth tread He lies before me. Dost thou understand me?
But this is a base conjecture. Some time after, T. M. R. rose, and said that he had been informed by some respectable members that J. R. intended none of his remarks particularly for him; and IF so, he greatly regretted the language and sentiments he had used. [ "Your IF is the only peace maker." ]
Sloan, some time after candle light, introduced two resolutions; the one, that the standing committees of the House should be chosen by ballot; the other, that they should be obliged to report every week. These resolutions were introduced by a written speech of about half an hour, a speech that emptied the head of the old simpleton of half its native water-gruel; it was a comical strain of pulpit invective against that Satan of a John Randolph; Sloan thinks he can overturn Olympus with a pudding-stick; but the House are greatly in error, when they permit him to "talk so amply and unnecessarily, on all occasions, and without occasion, to the great expense of time, and to the vexation of common sense. Parum pauca decent, but Sloan considers himself a MAGNUS."
The House adjourned about 11 o'clock at night, till the first Monday in December. So that if our differences are adjusted with Great-Britain, the President must call Congress together before that time.
And so ends the session. About one week's business was done the first five weeks—three weeks were spent in agreeing to pay tribute to France. [The negotiation for the Floridas will however eventually fail.] About a fortnight's business was done before the first of March; Congress agreed to bluster and do nothing respecting G. Britain. A bill has passed we'll allow, but must agree with Mr. Randolph, that 'tis worse than nothing; we must also partly agree with him, in saying 'tis the effect of "mercantile avarice." Doctor Johnson is not far from the general truth in saying, "no mercantile man, or mercantile nation, has any friendship but for money; an alliance between them will last no longer than their common safety or common profit is endangered; no longer than they have an enemy who threatens to take from each, more than either can steal from the other. A merchant's desire is not in glory, but of gain; not of publick wealth, but of private emolument; he is therefore rarely to be consulted about war or peace, or any designs of wide extent and distant consequence." There has been much talk and little business, great cry and little wool: to more than half, at the close of the session, we might well say,
Lusisti satis, edisti satis, atque bibisti, Tempus abire est.
You've play'd enough, and eat enough, and drank enough; it is full time for you to go home.
BY AUTHORITY.
By the President of the United States of America. A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas a treaty between the United States of America and the Bashaw of Tripoli was concluded and signed on the 4th day of June 1805, and was duly ratified and confirmed by the President of the U. States on the 17th day of this present month, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, which treaty is in the words following to wit:
TREATY
Of peace and Amity, between the United States of America and the Bashaw Bey and subjects of Tripoli, in Barbary.
Article 1st. There shall be, from the conclusion of this treaty, a firm, inviolable and universal peace, and a sincere friendship between the President and citizens of the United States of America, on the one part, and the Bashaw Bey and subjects of the regency of Tripoli, in Barbary, on the other, made by the free consent of both parties, and on the terms of the most favoured nation. And if either party shall hereafter grant to any other nation, any particular favour, or privilege in navigation or commerce, it shall immediately become common to the other party, freely, where it is freely granted to such other nation; but where the grant is conditional, it shall be at the option of the contracting parties to accept, alter or reject such conditions in such manner as shall be most conducive to their respective interests.
Art. 2. The bashaw of Tripoli shall deliver up to the American squadron now off Tripoli, all the Americans in his possession; and all the subjects of the Bashaw of Tripoli, now in the power of the United States of America, shall be delivered up to him; and as the number of Americans in possession of the Bashaw of Tripoli, amount to three hundred persons, more or less, and the number of Tripoline subjects in the power of the Americans, to about one hundred, more or less, the Bashaw of Tripoli shall receive from the United States of America, the sum of sixty thousand dollars, as a payment of the difference between the prisoners herein mentioned.
Art. 3d. All the forces of the United States, which have been, or may be in hostility against the Bashaw of Tripoli, in the province of Derne, or elsewhere within the dominions of the said Bashaw, shall be withdrawn, and no supplies shall be given by or in behalf of the United States, during the continuance of this peace, to any of the subjects of the said Bashaw, who may be in hostility against him, in any part of his dominions; and the Americans will use all means in their power to persuade the brother of the said Bashaw, who has co-operated with them at Derne &c. to withdraw from the territory of the said Bashaw of Tripoli; but will not use any force or improper means to effect that object, and in case he should withdraw himself as aforesaid, the Bashaw engages to deliver up to him, his wife and children now in his power.
Art. 4th. If any goods belonging to any nation, with which either of the parties are at war, should be loaded on board vessels belonging to the other party, they shall pass free and unmolested, and no attempts shall be made to take or detain them.
Art. 5th. If any citizens or subjects with their effects, belonging to either party, shall be found on board a prize vessel, taken from an enemy by the other party, such citizens or subjects shall be liberated immediately, and their effects so captured shall be restored to their lawful owners, or their agents.
Art. 6th. Proper passports shall immediately be given to the vessels of both the contracting parties, on condition, that the vessels of war belonging to the regency of Tripoli, on meeting with merchant vessels, belonging to citizens of the United States of America, shall not be permitted to visit them with more than two persons, besides the rowers; these two only shall be permitted to go on board without first obtaining leave from the commander of said vessel, who shall compare the passports and immediately permit said vessel to proceed on her voyage; and should any of the said subjects of Tripoli, insult or molest the commander or any other person on board a vessel, so visited, or plunder any of the property contained in her, on complaint being made by the consul of the United States of America, resident at Tripoli, and on his producing sufficient proof to substantiate the fact, the commander or rais of said Tripoline ship or vessel of war, as well as the offend-
ers shall be punished in the most exemplary manner. All vessels of war belonging to the U. States of America, on meeting with a cruiser belonging to the regency of Tripoli, on having seen her passports and certificate from the consul of the U. States of America residing in the regency, shall permit her to proceed on her cruise unmolested, and without detention. No passports shall be granted by either party to any vessels, but such are absolutely the property of subjects of said contracting parties, on any pretence whatever.
Art. 7th. A citizen or subject of either of the contracting parties, having bought a prize vessel, condemned by the other party, or by any other nation, the certificate of condemnation and bill of sale, shall be a sufficient passport for such vessel for two years, which, considering the distance between the two countries is no more than a reasonable time for her to procure her passports.
Art. 8th. Vessels of either party, putting into the ports of the other, and having need of provisions or other supplies, they shall be furnished at the market price, and if any such vessel should so put in from a disaster at sea, and having occasion to repair, she shall be at liberty to land and re-embark her cargo, without paying any duties; but in no case shall she be compelled to land her cargo.
Art. 9th. Should a vessel of either party be cast on the shore of the other, all proper assistance shall be given to her and her crew. No pillage shall be allowed, the property shall remain at the disposition of the owners, and the crew protected and succoured, till they can be sent to their country.
Art. 10th. If a vessel of either party shall be attacked by an enemy within gun-shot of the forts of the other, she shall be defended as much as possible. If she be in port, she shall not be seized or attacked when it is in the power of the other party to protect her; and when she proceeds to sea, no enemy shall be allowed to pursue her from the same port, within twenty-four hours after her departure.
Art. 11th. The commerce between the United States of America and the Regency of Tripoli; the protections to be given to merchants, masters of vessels and seamen; the reciprocal right of establishing consuls in each country, and the privileges, immunities and jurisdictions, to be enjoyed by such consuls, are declared to be on the same footing, with those of the most favoured nations respectively.
Art. 12th. The consul of the United States of America shall not be answerable for debts contracted by citizens of his own nation, unless he previously gives a written obligation so to do.
Art. 13th. On a vessel of war, belonging to the United States of America, anchoring before the city of Tripoli, the consul is to inform the Bashaw of her arrival, and she shall be saluted with twenty one guns, which she is to return in the same quantity or number.
Art. 14th. As the government of the United States of America has, in itself, no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity of Mussulmen, and as the said states never have entered into any voluntary war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, except in the defence of their just rights to freely navigate the high seas, it is declared by the contracting parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two nations. And the consuls and agents of both nations respectively, shall have liberty to exercise their religion in his own house. All slaves of the same religion shall not be impeded in going to said consul's house at hours of prayer. The consuls shall have liberty and personal security given to them, to travel within the territories of each other both by land and sea, and shall not be prevented from going on board any vessel that they may think proper to visit. They shall have likewise the liberty to appoint their own drogoman and brokers.
Art. 15th. In case of any dispute arising, from the violation of any of the articles of this treaty, no appeal shall be made to arms; nor shall war be declared on any pretext whatever; but if the consul residing at the place where the dispute shall happen, shall not be able to settle the same, the government of that country shall state their grievances in writing, and transmit it to the government of the other; and the period of twelve calendar months shall be allowed for answers to be returned; during which time no act of hostility shall be permitted by either party; and in case the grievances are not redressed, and a war should be the event, the consuls and citizens, or subjects of both parties reciprocally, shall be permitted to embark with their effects unmolested, on board of what vessel or vessels they shall think proper.
Art. 16th. If in the fluctuation of human events, a war should break out between the two nations, the prisoners captured by either party shall not be made slaves, but shall be exchanged rank for rank. And if there should be a deficiency on either side, it shall be made up by the payment of five hundred Spanish dollars for each captain, three hundred dollars for each mate and supercargo, and one hundred dollars for each seaman so wanting. And it is agreed that prisoners shall be exchanged in twelve months from the time of their capture; and that the exchange may be effected by any private individual legally authorised by either of the parties.
Art. 17th. If any of the Barbary states, or other powers, at war with the United States of America, shall capture any American vessel, and send her into any of the ports of the Regency of Tripoli, they shall not be permitted to sell her, but shall be obliged to depart the port, on procuring the requisite supplies of provisions; and no duties shall be exacted on the sale of prizes, captured by the vessels sailing under the flag of the United States of America, when brought into any port in the regency of Tripoli.
Art. 18th. If any of the citizens of the United States, or any persons under their protection, shall have any disputes with each other, the consul shall decide between the parties, and whenever the consul shall require any aid or assistance from the government of Tripoli to enforce his decisions, it shall immediately be granted to him, and if any disputes shall arise between any citizen of the United States, and the citizens or subjects of any other nation having a consul or agent in Tripoli; such disputes shall be settled by the consuls or agents of the respective nations.
Art. 19th. If a citizen of the United States should kill or wound a Tripoline, or, on the contrary, if a Tripoline shall kill or wound a citizen of the United States, the law of the country shall take place, and equal justice shall be rendered, the consul assisting at the trial, and if any delinquent shall make his escape, the consul shall not be answerable for him in any manner whatever.
Art. 20th. Should any of the citizens of the United States of America, die within the limits of the Regency of Tripoli, the Bashaw and his subjects shall not interfere with the property of the deceased, but it shall be under the immediate direction of the consul, unless otherwise disposed of by will. Should there be no consul, the effects shall be deposited in the hands of some person worthy of trust, until the party shall appear who has a right to demand them, when they shall render an account of the property. Neither shall the Bashaw or his subjects give hindrance in the execution of any will that may appear.

Letter from the Secretary of the Treasury transmitting a statement of Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, exported from the United States, during one year, prior to the first day of October, 1805.
Treasury Department, April 8, 1806.
SIR—I have the honour to transmit herewith a statement of goods, wares, and merchandise, exported from the United States during one year prior to the 1st day of October, 1805, and amounting to 95,566,021 dollars. The goods, wares, and merchandise of domestic growth, or manufacture, included in this statement, are estimated at
Dolls. 42,387,002
And those of foreign growth, or manufacture, at
53,179,019
95,566,021
Those foreign goods may be divided into three classes, viz.
1st. Articles, on the importation of which no duty had been collected, they being free of duty by the laws of the United States, amounting to dolls. 1,641,725 2d. Articles liable to duty, and which were, on re-exportation thereof, entitled to drawback, 42,119,498 3d. Articles liable to duty, but which were not, on re-exportation thereof, entitled to drawback, 9,417,796
53,179,019
The duties collected on the importation of the articles of the 3d class, and which not being paid by consumers within the United States, are derived directly from the carrying trade, amount to dollars 1,531,618, exclusively of the additional duties, which constitute the Mediterranean fund.
It appears by the additional statement (A) that the articles of domestic growth or manufacture, exported during the period aforesaid, may be averaged under the following heads, viz.
Produce of the Sea, Dolls. 2,884,000 Forest, 5,261,000 Agriculture, 31,562,000 Manufactures, 2,523,000 Uncertain, 155,000 42,387,000
I have the honour to be, with great respect, Sir, your obedient servant, ALBERT GALLATIN.
The hon. the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

One Hundred Dollars Reward. WILL be given, to white or black, that will deliver to me dead or alive, a negro named DAVY, who runs away from me on the 9th instant. He is about 5 feet 9 inches high, very black, well made, and very active, with a full face, and speaks pretty when spoken to. He has been a servant to a family as a carriage driver, and has been lately put to the shipcarpenter's and caulker's trade, and works well at the latter. As he is a lazy fellow, he no doubt, will attempt to live with some person as a servant. He made an attempt to run away from his former master, and made for the northward, but was apprehended in Virginia, where he is well acquainted, particularly in the town, and I have no doubt but his intention is again to get off to the northward, either by land or water. I recollect a very notable white speck on his two upper middle fore teeth, which will be discovered on examination. He may have other marks for what I know, not having owned him more than four years. I cannot describe any particular ones about him, but make no doubt he has scars, as he has been whipped before I purchased him. He is very fond of spirits, and will get drunk when he has an opportunity; plays cards, and is much given to roguery. He wore off with him blue negro cotton clothing, and had second hand clothing; but no doubt he will change both his clothing and his name, as he is an artful fellow; and if taken, will fight; and when taken, if not well secured, will make his escape. I do hereby forward all masters of vessels and others from harbouring or carrying him off at their peril. The above reward, and all travelling expenses, will be paid, if the distance exceeds 75 miles. John Drew, Jr. Port-Tombstone, near Edenton March 17. 657
VILLAINY EXPOSED. On the 11th of August, 1805, JOHN ROBERTS, master of the Schooner Aurora, of Baltimore, sailed from Norfolk with 500 bales of Coal, taken at City Point from on board the ship Bellisle, John Hair, master, from Glasgow. The said Coal was shipped for Mr. Merry, the British minister at Washington; but instead of proceeding to that place, the said Roberts went round to Philadelphia, and there disposed of the Coal on his own account; after which he sold the vessel, and has not been heard of since. It was stated by him at Philadelphia, that the Coal was Virginia produce, and he entered a protest on oath before Nicholas Ditchell, Esq. Notary Public in Philadelphia, asserting that he sailed from Norfolk bound to Baltimore, with the Coal on board as ballast; and having in a heavy gale of wind sprung his foremast, was drove out to sea, and compelled by stress of weather to put into that port. Being bound to an adjoining state, and the cargo under the value specified in the 14th section of the Coastal Act, he was authorized to proceed without a clearance; but on his arrival at Philadelphia, being other than a district in the same or in an adjoining state, in order to his being permitted to an entry he made the said protest, and reported his vessel agreeably to the 22d section of the said act, declaring at the same time that the cargo was shipped by and consigned to himself. Should the said JOHN ROBERTS have returned to Baltimore, or his residence elsewhere be ascertained, it will be subserving the cause of justice to make it known to the Collector of that port, or those of Philadelphia, Norfolk or Petersburg.

PROPOSALS For Publishing by Subscription, in London and Philadelphia, A Monthly Magazine, On an Entire New Plan—And to be entitled THE BRITISH OILIO; AND NORTH AMERICAN MUSEUM.
This work is intended to be equally useful and entertaining to the readers of both nations. It is commenced with a hope of concentrating their literary taste—of forming an union, and co-operation of classical talents; and thus, rendering it a depository of general information. An union of this description, abstracted from political disquisition, should prevail throughout the civilized world. It will be interspersed with a variety of curious anecdotes and information, respecting the manners and customs of the interior parts of Britain and America. For this purpose, a considerable part will be appropriated, to the present state of the United States—comprising the gleanings of a fifteen years residence therein. It was intended to publish this in volumes, as a distinct work, in the manner of CARR'S , "Stranger in France," and "Northern Summer;" but it is now reserved for the body of this work; which would have cost a reader, perhaps four-fold the price of his subscription to this MAGAZINE. In addition will be given, the occurrences of both Countries—An Impartial Account of the Political and Commercial State of Affairs—Literary, Law, Agricultural, Theatrical Intelligence, and Provincial Occurrences.—New Publications, and discoveries.—In fine, whatever may be worthy of information. In the selections, the best Authors shall be carefully resorted to, and no pains spared to render the whole worthy of patronage, on each side the Atlantic. From a plan like this, the American Citizen, will be furnished Monthly—with the Literary, Commercial, and Political State of Great Britain; while, in the same number, he may meet with Domestic Occurrences, which have not been noticed, even by his own Dismal Prints. The English Reader, too, far removed from his Native Land, may calculate upon equal advantages; for, besides every thing necessary for his information can be found in London Periodical Publications, he will be gratified with a minute description of a country, rapidly advancing in Commerce, Literature, and the Arts and Sciences.
CONDITIONS. This work will contain the same number of pages, as the London or American Literary Magazines; and each number, in case of adequate support, will be ornamented with Copper Plate Engravings, by the best Artists, descriptive of some memorable transaction interesting to both countries; or, Portraits of such eminent Characters, as may, from time to time, be brought forward in the course of the publication. Subscriptions for not less than one year, at FIFTY CENTS per number, which it is hoped will cover expenses, at all events the price shall not exceed Sixty-Two and a half Cents, received by the EDITOR OF THE PUBLIC LEXICON, and generally, at the Book stores throughout the United States. Those inclined to Patronise, will please to make immediate application; that the Editor may form some judgement as to the Embellishments of the work. Subscription Papers to be returned, previous to the first of November next. April 25. 693

BRITISH CONSUL'S OFFICE, Norfolk, Virg. Jan. 18, 1805. HIS Britannick Majesty's Consul to the State of Virginia, in consequence of instructions by him received from his government, takes this method of communicating to such officers on the British half-pay establishment, as are resident within his district, the following Notice from the Army Pay-Office, in London, in respect to the form of the Certificate required from British half-pay Officers, by whom it is highly essential that the regulations therein specified should be strictly complied with.

WARM SPRINGS In the County of Bath, Virginia.
HAVING taken a lease on the Warm-Springs for 10 years, from the 1st April, 1805, we wish to acquaint the publick, that at great expence and much labour we have improved it, to accommodate gently one hundred and fifty persons, having erected to new houses, among them a range of frame stables 240 feet long, together with other stables roomy enough to hold about 100 horses; also, 10 new houses 21 by 17 feet, built convenient to the Bath, with stone chimneys, and finished off neatly—a large and commodious sitting room for the ladies, furnished with different kinds of instruments of musick, and kept for that purpose only.—A new Bath will be made distinct from the present one, intended for such persons as may not choose to mix with the strong and healthy.
We have also taken a lease on the SWEET SPRINGS in the county of Monroe, distant 30 miles from the Warm Springs for 9 years, and are making the necessary preparations for the accommodation of the visitors.—The strictest attention will be paid to that satisfaction, as we know from many years experience, that without it but few customers can be expected. It is with much satisfaction, as we have it in our power to assure the publick that the different houses of entertainment in the roads leading to the Springs, have of late been much attended to by the proprietors, most of which, (above the Ridge) the subscribers have visited, and have found that appearances seem to indicate, that in future, travellers will be well accommodated.
We wish to purchase a BLACK-SMITH, for one that comes well recommended, a generous price will be given.—Also, wanted to employ a discreet elderly WOMAN, to undertake the management of the place of House-keeper, either at the Sweet or Warm Springs, one inclined to be industrious, and qualified to discharge such duties, will meet with liberal wages on application to us. Robt. & Geo. Turner. March 12. 618M 572
In addition to the above advertisement, a correspondent who is well acquainted with that part of the state, and all the different houses of entertainment on the road, observes, that from the Bell Tavern in Richmond, kept by the Turners, the mail stage goes once a week to that healthy and social town of Staunton, fifteen miles beyond the Blue Ridge, where there are two Taverns, one kept by Wm. Chambers, and the other by J. Edmondson, equal to comfort and good living to any taverns perhaps on the continent, each of them keep a stage and excellent horses, with careful drivers, well acquainted with the mountain roads, and one or the other always ready to convey passengers to the Warm Springs, and from thence the Timbers have a carriage and horses to convey them to the Sweet Springs, so that a passenger can step into the stage at Norfolk, and without any further trouble than paying those who attend him, be conveyed 300 miles to the Sweet Springs. It was determined last fall by the different tavern keepers and others concerned, to oblige the overseers of the roads to do their duty, and to give personal assistance themselves where it was most wanted. To those who have seen that country, description is unnecessary—but to the stranger it may be justly observed that two weeks of indulgence at the Warm Spring Bath, is a full compensation for the fatigues of the journey. March 17. 591

CHASE'S TRIAL. THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, By SAMUEL H. SMITH, Trial of Samuel Chase, An Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, IMPEACHED By the House of Representatives, for high crimes and misdemeanors, before the Senate of the United States. TAKEN IN SHORT HAND, By Samuel H. Smith & Thomas Lloyd.
In two large octavo volumes—in boards, price—to subscribers, four dollars and a half—and to non-subscribers five dollars. A much greater delay has been incurred in the publication of this trial than the editor contemplated. He has, however, the satisfaction of saying that no effort has been omitted by him to give it to the publick at an early period. The delay has arisen from the revision of the speeches of the managers and counsel. The publication might long since have been made in a less perfect dress; but it was deemed highly desirable that in a case, which, independently of its own importance, might be a precedent in future times, to sacrifice time rather than precision. The work now appears before the publick with the expectation of the editor that it will be considered as meriting the character of an impartial, comprehensive and faithful statement of facts. All the speeches have been revised and inserted at length, in connexion with whatever else formed a part of the trial. Editors of other prints will confer a benefit by inserting this advertisement a few times in their papers. March 24. 3t
