The Leyden Gazette of the 21st February, contains an account of the arrest of the conspirators, against Bonaparte, and concludes with the following:—
From all the information & facts collected, it appears that for a long time past Moreau held intercourse with Pichegru , by means of Lajolais , and an Abbe David ; that they had signed an agreement between them and the Count D'Artois , with the execution of which Bouvet was charged; that the preliminary executed by Moreau , was the assassination of the First Consul; that after this event Moreau should be First Consul; that they should retain the power for six weeks at the most, in order to give time for the arrival of one of the Bourbon family.
These arrangements being made and the crisis approaching (which was fixed for the 14th of February) Moreau required the presence of Pichegru . They held a conference at 8 o'clock in the evening, on the Boulevard de la Magdalaine . They differed as to the title to be assumed; Moreau wished to be dictator. Pichegru complained of Moreau , & desired to be invested himself with the first authority; Georges had complaints against Pichegru , and in short a division took place among the chiefs of the conspiracy, when the discoveries made by government dispersed the brigands. No measures had yet been taken against Moreau , when the events of this night confirmed these facts. An order to arrest Moreau was immediately issued, on February 15, at 9 o'clock, & executed at 11 in the morning—it is probable that Pichegru will be arrested in the course of the day— Georges who, has not yet been found, is pursued—Such is the present state of affairs.—Enquiries are carried on with great vigour and activity.
Capt. Jones sailed from New-Orleans, March 10, in company with the barque America , Capt. Dove, for this port, and left the fel. William , to sail in 8 days; on the 24th off Cape Hatteras, he spoke a brig, but blowing hard could not learn her name, she had chairs on her quarter, supposed her bound for S. Carolina. In lat. 25, 30, long. 79, 47, the Go-By was boarded by a square sterned copper bottomed French privateer schr. mounting 19 guns, 4 and 6 pounders and a long 18 pounder, mounted on a swivel—Her crew was a mixture of French, Spanish and English; as soon as Capt. Jones went on board the privateer, these infernal pirates went on board the Go-By , and robbed her of a great variety of articles, among which were 20 yards ticklenburgs, 8 pieces cambric, 3 venison hams, wine, porter, flour, fowls, coffee, cloathing, books, instruments, 3 otter skins, part of a box of Hopkins' razors, the yawl, and to the amount of between 2 and 300 dollars value, which they carried off, abusing Capt. Jones for daring to remonstrate.
[Philadelphia paper.] The Go-By was built by Mr. Jno. Infone, and is the first sea-vessel built at Frankfort.
General Desalines , considering the great number of blacks and men of colour who are suffering in the U. States, decrees, forty dollars to American captains for each individual they may restore to that country. The decree is dated at Port-au-Prince, January 14, 1804.
PHILADELPHIA, April 14. The ship Rising States , captain Shaler , arrived at New-York, in 37 days from Amsterdam, failed from
New-Dieppe on the 6th ult. but brings no intelligence that would confirm the reports lately circulated of a conspiracy against the First Consul having been discovered in France. The French General Marmont , had arrived in Holland, to take the command of the troops intended for the invasion of England; the gun-boats, &c. appeared to be ready, and no new preparations were going forward connected with the menaced invasion. The people, however, talked coolly about it, without forming an opinion as to the time it would take place.
Intelligence by the brig Eliza , which arrived at New-York on Saturday, in 16 days from Havana, mentions that a day or two before the brig failed the French General Lavoisier demanded 40,000 dollars from the Governor of Havana for the payment of the French troops, and received for an answer that the demand could not be complied with as no orders to that effect had been received from the Spanish government. The General then declared that he would not be accountable for the conduct of his people, and in consequence of this declaration the Spanish troops were put under arms with orders to take up and confine every foreigner without any distinction; and they were executing these orders when the Eliza failed.
Capt. Campbell arrived at New-York from the city of St. Domingo, informs, that he left that place the 18th March, at which time the French held peaceable possession.—The port was not blockaded. Markets for American produce very dull.
April 17. Capture of Surinam. Capt. Bunch, who arrived at Providence, informs, that just before he left Surinam, the English Admiral sent in a flag and demanded Surinam to be given up to the English in seven days, or he would lay siege to it. There are very few troops at Surinam, for which reason it is expected it will be given up immediately.
His Britannic majesty's ship Theseus , off Amsterdam, Island of Curra-coa, 31st Jan. 1804.
SIR, As your excellency must be aware, by the appearance of a British squadron off Curra-coa, that it is with the intention of reducing the island, and as the force is so superior, as to leave no doubt of its success: I have the honor to offer your excellency such proposals as I conceive will be for the benefit of the island in general, and such as your excellency may with honor accede to.
As forming the basis of a capitulation, I shall require the following particulars: 1st. The immediate surrender of the island of Curra-coa and its dependencies to his Britannic majesty's arms, with the forts, in the state they are in at present.
2d. The garrison to lay down their arms as prisoners of war, and to be sent to Europe as soon as possible, in order that they may be regularly exchanged.
3d. All public property, and all the shipping with their cargoes, to be at the disposal of the captors.
4th. The property of every kind belonging to the inhabitants of Curra-coa, to be respected; their laws, customs and usages to be preserved; and the colony placed in the same situation as when under the British government, previous to its last cession to the Batavian Republic.
If these proposals are rejected, I recommend your Excellency's immediately removing the women and children out of the town.
Captain Rofs, of his Britannic Majesty's frigate Pique , who will have the honour to deliver this to your Excellency, has my instructions to wait two hours for an answer.
I have the honor to be, Sir, your Excellency's most obedient humble servant. (Signed) JOHN BLIGH. Commander of the forces of his Britannic majesty before Amsterdam. To his Excellency the Governor of Curra-coa.
The acting commissaries of the island of Curra-coa and its dependencies, to the commander of his Britannic majesty's squadron, cruising before Curra-coa. Commodore!
We have received your letter: in reply we have to observe, that we know our duties, and according thereto we shall and must act; and therefore shall not enter into your propositions.
We have the honor to be, the commissaries above-mentioned, (Signed) CORNELIUS BERCH, ABM. DE VEER.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 13. By the ship John Morgan from London, it is stated, that two ships of the line, five frigates and a number of cutters, under the command of Lord Keith , had failed from the Downs on the eighth March and began a heavy firing on Boulogne, which was plainly to be perceived by the people on board the John Morgan . Our commissioners had finished their business about four weeks previous to the 3d of March, and all but Mr. Trumbull had failed for America.
Capt. Howard of the ship John Morgan , states, that on leaving the Downs on the eighth of March, he was visited by a lieutenant from on board Lord Keith's fleet, who informed him, that he had that morning received information of a conspiracy against Bonaparte , at the head of which was the celebrated Moreau , and several other distinguished characters—all of whom had been detected. Moreau and several others had made their escape. And further informed, that the British government had dispatched three or four cutters off to their [ Moreau , &c.] assistance. Several men of war failed for the French coast, the Capt. Howard left there. Some of them steered for Cherbourg, on which place he heard a heavy firing before he lost sight of the coast.
NEW-YORK, April 12. Capt. Swaine, who arrived at Boston on Thursday, from Bayonne, has published the following letter, which he received from his Broker just previous to failing:
"Gen. Moreau is arrested; also La Fayette , Latour Maubourg , the Prince of Peace, and several Bishops, Archbishops and others,— Pichegru and Georges were to have assassinated or seized the First Consul.— Moreau was to have assumed the command.—But his knavery is discovered.—We are assured Pichegru is taken. It is said the gates of the Thuilleries were gained, and powder had been introduced into the gardens in wine casks."
[By the above letter it appears a new plot, or pretended plot, has been discovered at Paris. Capt. S. says he understood the discovery and arrests were made about the 2d of February; that an account of them had been published in the newspapers, and that they were subjects of conversation at Bayonne. Pichegru and Georges were in England a short time since. The Prince of Peace, we should presume had not left Madrid. He may be implicated in the plot. He had not for some time been a favorite with the French. It has been long supposed that Moreau was not a stationary character, and his rise or fall has been expected.] —Boston Palladium
April 9. In consequence of the misunderstanding between the Dey of Algiers and the British Consul, Lord Nelson has caused it to be notified at Gibraltar, that all ships are to beware how they approach the coast of Algiers, or permit themselves to be boarded by the Algerine cruisers.
Another contribution it is said, has been levied by France on the Portuguese government. The number of vessels in the outer harbour at Brest, the latter end of February, and apparently ready for sea, was eighteen ships of the line, four of them three deckers; fourteen frigates; thirty-two gun-boats, and eleven large transports. To oppose these, admiral Conwallis had collected off Ushant , twenty ships of the line, ten of which were three deckers.
There were also at the Helder , about the same time, one ship of seventy eight guns, three of sixty eight, four frigates, four brigs, two cutters, and fifty sail of transports ready for sea, with eight thousand troops; between the Helder and Amsterdam , twenty-four thousand soldiers in quarters, and ready to embark; at Amsterdam , fifty sail of gun-vessels fitting; and at Helvoetsluys , one ship of eighty guns and one of sixty-eight in ordinary, two frigates and two brig gun boats, fitting for sea. One hundred and fifty gun-boats had failed from Rotterdam for Flushing , in the course of the six preceding weeks.

THE FULL BLOODED ENGLISH RACE HORSE.
WILL stand this season, at the farm of James Garrard, Jun. three miles from Paris, on Stoner , in Bourbon county; where he will cover mares at Twenty-two Dollars the season, to be paid the 1st day of September next, or Eighteen Dollars with the mare—Twelve Dollars the single leap, to be paid at the time of covering—Ten pounds to insure a mare with foal, and in case the owner sells or disposes of the mare, the owners of the horse, are discharged from all responsibility as insurers.—The season will commence the 27th day of March, and end the 1st day of August. Good pasturage, well enclosed, will be furnished gratis to all mares sent above the distance of twelve miles—board will be furnished servants that may be sent with mares from a distance, and every kind of grain upon the most reasonable terms; all mares sent, shall be strictly attended to, but we are not liable for accidents or escapes. TUP is a beautiful dark bay, full fifteen hands three inches high, remarkable for his strength, form and activity—he was brought from London, by Will. Smalley , in the fall of 1801, in the American ship Col. Lincoln . He has covered two seasons in Virginia. Certificates from men of the first rank and respectability there, now in our possession, prove him to be superior, as a foal-getter, to any horse in Virginia, either imported or country bred.—Numbers of mares put to the TUP in Virginia, were put before, to the best horses in that state, and the foals by TUP , were superior in form and activity. Some few of the certificates are hereunto subjoined.
PEDIGREE. The bay horse, called TUP , foaled in 1796, was gotten by Javelin out of Flavia . Javelin was gotten by Eclipse ; his dam by Spectator ; his grand dam by Blank ; great grand dam by Second ; great, great grand dam by Stanyan's Arabian ; great, great, great grand dam by King William's black Barb , out of Christopher Darcy's royal mare . Flavia was gotten by the Ferrer's Arabian called Plunder ; her dam, Mils Euton , by Snap ; grand dam by Blank ; great grand dam by Cartouch , out of the Sore Heels mare ; great, great grand dam of Highflyer — TUP , in 1798, won a sweepstakes of an hundred guineas each at New-Market, (five subscribers) beating Mr. Heathcote's Vivalda , &c. A true copy from the stud book and racing calendar.

W. FRAZER.
It is unnecessary to comment on the performances of old Eclipse . It is well known that at an early age he could distance any horse in England; and that it was found necessary, to publicly forbid his running any more, as no horse dare meet him. He afterwards covered at fifty guineas a mare. Javelin was one of his best sons. He covered at ten guineas a mare, and one to the groom. He is sire to some of the best horses on the British turf.
TUP , in his young days, was allowed by the best judges in England to be preferable to an Arabian , having all their frightfulness and elegance of limbs with the great strength of old Eclipse . Flavia at three years old won a sweepstakes of a hundred guineas each, four subscribers at New-Market, free racing calendar for 1777, succeeding calendars prove her of high repute as a racer: she was many years kept as a fine brood mare and was always put to the best horses.
Every mare that is put by the season at first may have a spring season gratis, provided they do not prove with foal, and the season paid punctually agreeably to the terms of the advertisement. Those who put their mares at first by the leap are excluded from the chance
of a colt next season gratis. Mares that do not prove with foal that have the next season gratis, must be sent before the tenth of April.

"To soar aloft on Fancy's wing."
TO LOUISA.
WRITTEN BY A CAROLINIAN.
THE joyous birds appear to glad the vales, And deck the spot where my Louisa treads; Where e'er she moves mild breathe the genial gales, And each sweet flower a sweeter fragrance breeds.
Then must not hopeless love it's anguish tell, Nor Philon his distressful state repeat; Still, still my theme on fair Louisa dwell, Still will I sigh my sorrows at her feet:
Why oft dejected wand'rest thou alone, Breathing some sorrow to the list'ning air; Whil't rocks return the solitary moan, And to the dreary winds fade echo bear?
Thus many a lily by yon river's side, Droops o'er the flood unnoticed and unseem; Thus many a rose is doom'd to waste it's pride, And drop it's foliage on the wither'd green.
Ah! say my fair, has some more favour'd swain, Taught thee the force of love's all powerful sway; And by thine own to pity other's pain, And to forgive what Venus bids me say?
Lo! the hoarse pigeon tunes his voice to love! Of love, the crimson Philomela sings; O'er every bush the zephyrs softly move, And twitt'ring swallows skim with agile wings.
But nought to me can consolation give, If my Louisa for another sighs; Alas! relent, and smiling bid me live, Or else despairing hapless Philon dies!

GAME.
A few days ago, as a sailor was tra- velling on the great road near Brother- ton, a hare made an attempt to cross the road, but was so confounded by two carriages at the same time passing, that she ran so near the sailor as enabled him to knock her down, which having done, he put it in his handkerchief, and travel- ed on; and soon after met with an hon. Baronet, particularly tenacious in the preservation of his game, who immedi- ately called out to the sailor, "I say, man, is that your own hare?" and upon receiving no answer, the same question was twice repeated: at last the tar vo- ciferated—"D—your eyes, you Lubber, do you suppose I wear a wig?"

JUDGE CHASE'S MEMORIAL.
CONCLUDED.
That charges so weighty as to render a judge of the supreme court a fit object of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors, should have been suffered to rest in oblivion for four years—although they are founded on facts perfectly notorious in their nature, and perfectly well known to the persons who, after so great a lapse of time, have at length made the ground of a prosecution the most solemn known to our laws; that this prosecution, so long delayed, should be commenced precisely at the moment when a political change, supposed by many, though he hopes unjustly, to be favorable to its success, had taken place—are circumstances but little calculated to impart confidence to the heart of innocence, or to quiet those alarms which she may feel when opposed to uncontrolled power.
Nor is the manner of commencing this prosecution, more comforting than the time. A form of enquiry into the official conduct of a judge, must always be to him a matter of very serious moment. It must always expose him to very great uneasiness and may render him obnoxious to the most unjust and injurious suspicions. It is wholly inconsistent with the humane and just principles of our laws, to subject a citizen to evils of this kind, without some specific accusation, resting on facts precisely stated, and supported by such proof on oath, as renders their existence at least probable. No man, however mean his condition, or however infamous his character, can be bound over to undergo the inquiry of a grand jury, without such an accusation, and such proof. A grand jury cannot listen to any accusation against a man, nor inquire into his conduct, much less put him upon his trial by finding a presentment against him, unless such an accusation so supported be first adduced; and the person maliciously initiating the inquiry is liable, in case it should be rejected, to a suit for reparation by the accused party. All these just and humane provisions are established by our laws, for the protection of innocence, not merely from punishment, but also from unfounded and vexatious enquiry. Every principle of reason, of justice and of law, and every precedent, that derives or has received the weight of authority, concurs in requiring the full application of these provisions to the case of impeachment.
And yet in this prosecution all these provisions have been completely disregarded. An inquiry has been instituted, of the most serious import to the party accused, on the mere suggestion of a member in his place, unsupported by oath, or by any specific statement of facts, which if supported by oath would have justified enquiry. This inquiry, thus instituted in a manner unprecedented and alarming, far from being confined to any specific charge or fact, is extended to the whole official conduct of a judge who has been above eight years in office, and authorizes the most minute inquisition of his most unguarded and most inconsiderable words and actions, throughout the whole period. It cannot escape your honorable body, how formidable an engine of oppression such an enquiry must be, in the hands of persons disposed to abuse it. Your memorialist is far from insinuating that such has been the case in the present instance. This insinuation he could not make, or even support to be well founded without derogating from the respect that ought to be inspired by so elevated a body: but the soundness of principles is in no manner so well tested as by the consequences to which they lead. And although it cannot be supposed that this honorable body is under the influence of party spirit, party views, or individual malice, yet it is a melancholy truth, that free governments are liable to the influence of party spirit; and that when this fatal passion takes full possession of the mind, it completely stifles every senti-
ment of justice and humanity, all regard for law and right. Should the time ever arrive, which God avert! when a majority of Congress, inflamed by party spirit, and seeking the destruction of its opponents, shall desire to criminate a judge, in order to heap odium on the party with which he is connected; when a president, at the head of this majority and guiding its passions, shall desire, from motives of private resentment, the ruin of any judge; when the schemes of the dominant party or its leaders, may require the removal of all firm, upright, and independent judges, and the substitution of others more complying or more timid; when the necessities of a favourite partisan may require the removal of a judge, in order to create a vacancy in office; should such a disastrous period ever arrive, as the history of other free governments in forms us it may, in what manner will the devoted victim, however innocent, be a able to shield himself against such a weapon, as this species of inquiry instituted in such manner and on such principles, cannot fail to furnish? Your memorialist trembles for the honour of his country, and for the success of republican government in this her last and fairest experiment, much more than for his own safety, when he reflects on the excesses that under such a cloak may be committed.
Does the manner in which this inquiry has been conducted, present any considerations calculated to remove or diminish the alarm excited by its commencement? Far otherwise! A great mass of testimony has been taken, which tho' calculated to affect your memorialist in the most material manner, he has had no opportunity of confronting, cross-examining or explaining. This testimony, in the taking of which some individuals were allowed to indulge themselves in the most rancorous invectives against your memorialist, and to clothe with the formalities and sanction of an oath the malicious effusions of their unprovoked and implacable resentment: this testimony, thus tarnished with the deep stain of partiality, hatred and revenge, was printed piece-meal, in the progress of the enquiry, and though not immediately published, was placed in a condition to be extensively circulated, and thus to be employed as a means of deeply wounding the reputation of your memorialist, of exciting universal odium against him, and of preparing the way for a certain condemnation, when a clamor shall have been excited, strong enough to drown the voice of reason, truth and justice.
Your memorialist by no means wishes to be understood as insinuating that such was the intention wherewith this step was taken, his respect for the body by which it was authorized, forbids him to harbour such a suspicion. But such may be the effect, and such it must be, in his apprehension, unless your honorable body, by preferring specific charges against him immediately, shall enable him to prepare speedily and efficaciously for justifying his conduct and defending his character against the unjust and wanton aspersions with which this testimony abounds.
The recent publication of this testimony, in a Gazette, said to be the official organ of the government, and thence communicating an official character and sanction to whatever of this nature appears in it, is a circumstance calculated to increase, in a very great degree, the mischievous effects of the testimony itself, and renders still more important the measure which your memorialist so earnestly solicits. From this Gazette, the publication will pass into others; and this is the most virulent misrepresentations of his conduct, and slanders on his character, sanctioned too, in some degree, by the vote of impeachment, will be spread throughout the United States; and will even extend to foreign countries; while the opportunity of refuting them, must, of necessity, be delayed for a considerable time, and, if articles of impeachment are not immediately exhibited, may be postponed to a very distant period.
He is still more strongly impressed with the necessity of demanding, as a sacred right, this immediate exhibition of articles, when he reflects on the manner in which the impeachment was voted. It is in vain that he has looked, in this vote and in the report of the committee on which it is founded, for a statement or even a hint of the offences with which he stands charged. He is impeached of "high crimes and misdemeanors," but in what these high crimes and misdemeanors consist, when, how, and where they were committed, is no where declared. The testimony collected by the committee does indeed state a variety of facts, which may constitute the grounds of accusation. The principles of justice and law, and the uniform course of practice, united in requiring, that each of these facts, or each that it is intended to rely on, should be put by the committee into the form of a specific charge, and made the subject of a distinct resolution. The sense of the house would then have been expressed on every charge, separately, and each would have been supported or rejected, according to the opinion entertained by the majority respecting its truth and its sufficiency.—Your memorialist would then have known, even with-
out articles, what it is, of which he stands accused, and to what points to direct his preparations for defence. His family, his friends, his country, and the world, would have known what it is that has been called, "high crimes and misdemeanors;" and would have been enabled to judge how far the accusation is supported by the facts, and the facts by the proof.
There is another point of view in which your memorialist deems it his sacred duty, a duty to his country more than to himself, a duty which no consideration shall prevent him from performing, to enter his most solemn protest against this part of the proceeding. His protest may not now be heard. The passions and prejudices of the moment may drown his voice. But it will one day be heard and seriously listened to. The American people will hear it—and the lovers of liberty, in every age and country, will unite in asserting the justice of his complaint.
He complains that by the method pursued in voting this impeachment, a majority has been obtained in favour of the general vote, while it is possible and even probable, that there is not a majority in favour of any one of the separate charges on which the vote is founded. The accusations against him, so far as can be collected from the testimony, are very various. Let it be supposed that four charges are chiefly to be relied on, viz. the trial of Fries, the trial of Callender, the proceedings at New-Calle, and the charge to the grand jury in Baltimore. It is perfectly manifest that these charges are wholly distinct, and cannot support or strengthen each other. Each is a misdemeanor in itself, or it is not. Therefore there ought to be a majority in favour of each separately before it can be made the ground of impeachment.
Let it then be supposed, which is not only possible, but highly probable, that thirty members and no more, considered the conduct of your memorialist in the trial of Fries, as a proper ground of impeachment. In that case it is manifest that your memorialist ought not to be impeached on that charge, there not being a majority in favor of it. In like manner there may have been but thirty members in favor of impeaching him, on account of Callender's trial; and so of the other two charges. Thus although there might be but thirty members in favor of impeaching, on any one of the four charges, in which case it is manifest that there ought to be no impeachment, yet, when all the charges are blended into one general question, every member who considers any one charge as a proper ground of impeachment, and all the others as not proper grounds, must vote in the affirmative; and thus there will appear a great majority in favor of a measure, which is actually disapproved by a great majority. This is an innovation to striking, so alarming, so repugnant to all former practice, and to all ideas of justice and law, that it may be safely pronounced to furnish, especially when combined with the principle of indefinite enquiry without previous specific allegations, and of ex-parte testimony, the most formidable, the most irresistible engine of oppression, under the forms of law, that ever was placed in the hands of power: and if the time should ever arrive, which heaven in its mercy avert! when this engine shall be wielded under the direction of party spirit, or of popular passion instigated by personal malice or sinister policy, dreadful indeed will be the condition of those whom it may be the object of the moment to destroy.
Against an accusation thus prepared, and thus preferred, it behoves your memorialist to make the earliest and the most efficacious preparations for defending his character and asserting his innocence. While the accusation rests in the present vague state, he knows not to what points to direct these preparations; and in the mean time the fullest scope is given to calumny and malevolence; suspicion, ever alive and busy, is left free to act; and the most efficacious means are afforded, for overwhelming with public odium, an innocent man, who, until the age of sixty-three, has maintained an unspotted reputation; who bore an early and not an unimportant part in our common struggle for liberty; and who, after discharging with honor many important trusts conferred on him by his fellow citizens, was raised by Washington, the witness of his services, and often the companion of his exertions, to that high office, his conduct in which, though now the subject of accusation, has always been regulated by the most conscientious regard to his duty and his oath.
These are injuries to which he cannot suppose that your honorable body will suffer him to remain exposed. He therefore presumes to solicit, most respectfully, but most earnestly, that your honorable body will not adjourn without preferring articles of impeachment against him, and thus reducing to precise form, that accusation, which in the present vague and general state, it is impossible for him to repel. Could an immediate trial be had, it would be far more agreeable to his feelings; but as circumstances render it impossible that he should be gratified in that extent, he forbears to ask it;
and confines himself to that request which it is, he conceives, perfectly easy for your honorable body to grant.
SAMUEL CHASE. Baltimore, 24th March, 1804.
Mr. Randolph, from the committee appointed for that purpose, made on Monday the following report—which was ordered to lie on the table.
REPORT
Of the committee appointed to prepare articles of impeachment against Samuel Chase, one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Articles of Impeachment.
Articles exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States, in the name of themselves and of all the people of the United States, against Samuel Chase, one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, in maintenance and support of their impeachment against him, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Article I.
That unmindful of the solemn duties of his office, and contrary to the sacred obligations by which he stood bound to discharge them "faithfully and impartially, and without respect to persons," the said Samuel Chase, on the trial of John Fries, charged with treason, before the circuit court of the United States, held, for the district of Pennsylvania, in the city of Philadelphia, during the months of April and May, one thousand eight hundred, whereat the said Samuel Chase presided, did, in his judicial capacity, conduct himself in a manner highly arbitrary, oppressive and unjust, viz.—
1. In delivering an opinion in writing, on the question of law, on the construction of which the defence of the accused materially depended, tending to prejudice the minds of the jury against the case of the said John Fries, the prisoner, before council had been heard in his defence.
2. In restricting the council for the said Fries from recurring to such English authority as they believed apposite, or from citing certain statutes of the United States, which they deemed illustrative of the positions, upon which they intended to rest the defence of their client.
3. In debarring the prisoner from his constitutional privilege of addressing the jury (through his counsel) on the law, as well as on the fact, which was to determine his guilt, or innocence, and at the same time endeavouring to wrest from the jury their indisputable right to hear argument, and determine upon the question of law, as well as the question of fact, involved in the verdict which they were required to give.
Article II.
That, in consequence of this irregular conduct of the said Samuel Chase, as dangerous to our liberties, as it is novel to our laws and usages, the said John Fries was deprived of the right secured to him by the eighth article amendatory of the constitution, and was condemned to death without having been heard by counsel, in his defence, to the disgrace of the character of the American Bench, in manifest violation of law and justice, and in open contempt of the rights of juries, on which ultimately rest the liberty & safety of the American people.
Article III.
That, prompted by a similar spirit of persecution and injustice, at a circuit court of the United States, held at Richmond, in the month of May eighteen hundred, for the district of Virginia, whereat the said Samuel Chase presided, and before which a certain James Thompson Callender was arraigned for a libel on John Adams, then President of the United States, the said Samuel Chase, with intent to oppress and procure the conviction of the said Callender, did over-rule the objection of John Bassett, one of the jury, who wished to be excused from ser-

ving on the said trial, because he had made up his mind, as to the publication from which the words, charged to be libelous, in the indictment were extracted; and the said Basset was accordingly sworn, and did serve on the said jury.
Article IV.
That the evidence of John Taylor, a material witness on behalf of the aforesaid Callender, was not permitted by the said Samuel Chase to be given in, because the said witness could not prove the truth of the whole of one of the charges contained in the indictment, although the said charge embraced more than one fact.
Article V.
That the conduct of the said Samuel Chase was marked, during the whole course of the said trial, by manifest injustice, partiality and intemperance, viz.
1. In refusing to postpone the trial, although an affidavit was regularly filed, stating the absence of material witnesses on behalf of the accused.
2. In the use of unusual, rude & contemptuous expressions towards the prisoner's counsel; and in insinuating that they wished to excite the public fears and indignation and to produce that insubordination to law, to which the conduct of the judge did at the same time manifestly tend.
3. In repeated and vexatious interruptions of the said counsel, on the part of the said judge, which at length induced them to abandon their cause and their client, who was thereupon convicted and condemned to fine and imprisonment.
4. In an indecent solicitude, manifested by the said Samuel Chase, for the conviction of the accused, unbecoming even a public prosecutor, but highly disgraceful to the character of a judge as it was subversive of justice.
Article VI.
That, at a circuit court of the United States, for the district of Delaware, held at New Castle, in the month of June, one thousand eight hundred, whereat the said Samuel Chase presided, the said Samuel Chase, disregarding the duties of his office, did descend from the dignity of a judge and stoop to the level of an informer, by refusing to discharge the grand-jury, although entreated by several of the said jury to do so; and after the said grand-jury had regularly declared, through their foreman, that they had found no bills of indictment, nor had any presentments to make, by observing to the said grand-jury, that he, the said Samuel Chase, understood "that a highly seditious temper had manifested itself in the state of Delaware, among a certain class of people, particularly in New Castle county, and more especially in the town of Wilmington, where lived a most seditious printer, unrestrained by any principle of virtue, and regardless of social order—that the name of this printer was"—but checking himself as if sensible of the indecorum which he was committing, added—"that it might be assuming too much to mention the name of this person, but it becomes your duty, gentlemen, to inquire diligently into this matter;" and that with intention to procure the prosecution of the printer in question, the said Samuel Chase did, moreover, authoritatively, enjoin on the district attorney of the United States, the necessity of procuring a file of the papers to which he alluded, (and which were understood to be those published under the title of "Mirror of the Times, and General Advertiser,") and by a strict examination of them to find some passage which might furnish the ground work of a prosecution against the printer of the said paper; thereby degrading his high judicial functions, and tending to impair the public confidence in, and respect for, the tribunals of justice, so essential to the general welfare.
Article VII.
And whereas mutual respect and confidence between the government of the United States and those of the individual states, and between the people and those governments respectively, are highly conducive to that public harmony, without which there can be no public happiness, yet the said Samuel Chase,
disregarding the duties and dignity of his judicial character, did, at a circuit court for the district of Maryland, held at Baltimore, in the month of May, one thousand eight hundred and three, pervert his official right and duty to address the grand jury then and there assembled, on the matters coming within the province of the said jury, for the purpose of delivering to the said grand jury an intemperate and inflammatory political harangue, with intent to excite the fears and resentment of the said grand jury, and of the good people of Maryland against their state government and constitution, a conduct highly censurable in any, but peculiarly indecent and unbecoming in a judge of the Supreme Court of the United States; and moreover, that the said Samuel Chase, then and there, under pretence of exercising his judicial right to address the said grand jury, as aforesaid, did, in a manner highly unwarrantable, endeavour to excite the odium of the said grand jury, and of the good people of Maryland against the government of the United States, by delivering opinions, which, even if the judicial authority were competent to their expression, on a suitable occasion and in a proper manner, were at that time, and as delivered by him, highly indecent, extra-judicial, and tending to prostitute the high judicial character with which he was invested, to the low purpose of an electioneering partisan.
And the House of Representatives, by protestation, saving to themselves the liberty of exhibiting at any time hereafter, any further articles or other accusation or impeachment against the said Samuel Chase, and also of replying to his answers which he shall make unto the said articles, or any of them, and offering proof to all and every of the aforesaid articles, and to all and every other articles, impeachment, or accusation, which shall be exhibited by them, as the case shall require. do demand that the said Samuel Chase may be put to answer the said crimes and misdemeanors, and that such proceedings, examinations, trials, and judgments may be thereupon had and given, as are agreeable to law and justice.
FOR SALE, the place whereon I now live, containing 450 acres well improved, and generally given up to be as handsome a place as any in Fayette county—the dwelling house is of brick, two stories high, 46 feet long by 22 wide, finished off in a neat plain manner, and other necessary out houses; there is likewise a very fine grit mill with two pair of stones, one of which are burr—the said mill, dam, and all were built anew about twelve months ago—the dam and all under works are locust timber, which will stand at least fifty years without being impaired—there is about 130 acres of cleared land, springs and stock-water that was never known to fail. I will sell the whole together, or the mill with 50 or 100 acres with it, and give a considerable credit for half, the other half being paid down. For further particulars by applying to the subscriber, any person may be informed and shewn.

The imported Stallion Speculator,
WILL stand the ensuing season, which will commence the 1st day of March, and end the first day of August next, at the farm of John Breckinridge, esq. near Lexington, in Kentucky, and may cover mares at ten dollars the leap, to be paid at the stable door; twenty-four dollars the season, to be discharged any time before the first day of August, by the payment of twenty dollars; and forty dollars to ensure a mare to be with foal, to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who put her to the horse; with one dollar to the groom in every instance. Attested notes for the season, and insurance to be sent with the mares.
SPECULATOR
Is now rising nine years old, is a very handsome horse, near sixteen hands high, a fine bay with as many good running points as any horse on the continent, and is well calculated to get either excellent race, saddle or carriage horses; and has established himself to be a most capital stallion, as may be seen by his colts, which are now rising one year old—his blood is unexceptionable, and of the purest kind, as may be seen by his
PEDIGREE.
SPECULATOR was bred by the Duke Bedford, and got by his favorite stallion Dragon, (now in Virginia, and covered 145 mares last season, at ten guineas per mare) who was son to Woodpecker, his dam by King Herod, a sister to Florizel, Bourdeaux, and Sting, and the dam of Portia, Narcissa, Jessica, and Tarantula; his grand dam by Cygnet, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; his great grand dam by Cartouch, a very capital stallion; his great grand grand dam Ebony, by Childers, out of old Ebony, by Balo, who was got by the Byerly Turk, out of Bay Peg, by the Leed's Arabian.
PERFORMANCES.
SPECULATOR has been a capital running horse—In 1798 he won once, being the only time on the turf that year—in 1799, being then four years old, at the New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Watson's Young Magpie, for 100 guineas—at New-Market second spring meeting, he beat Lord Sackville's famous horse Sober Robin, for 50 guineas—at the same meeting he won a handicap plate, of 50 guineas each, beating six good horses, among which was the celebrated horse Aimator; the same day he received 41 1-2 guineas forfeit from Mr. Heathcote's Opposition—at the July New Market meeting he beat Mr. Cullen's Young Spear, for 100 guineas, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at Brighton he won a handicap plate (the new course) 50 guineas each, beating Combatant, Alcot, Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, Gypresse, Sifter, Midnight, Play or Pay, and Opposition; at New-Market first October meeting, he walked over for a sweep stake of 50 guineas each, Bollenamuck and Combatant fearing to run against him, paid him a forfeit; at the second October meeting he beat Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, for 50 guineas, 5 and 6 to 4 on Speculator; making eight times he won this year, which is oftener than any other horse won in said year, and came in second, for a handicap plate of 50 guineas each, beating eight good horses, although he carried 7lb more than any horse that started; in 1800 then 5 years old, at New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Hayworth's Filbert for 100 guineas carrying him 7lbs. at the same meeting he won the great Oatland stakes of 50 guineas each (26 subscribers) beating Expedition, Wrangler, Herby-Lass, Scamford, Telegraphe, Autrum, and Vandall; all good horses—at the first New-Market spring meeting, he won a sweep stake of 50 guineas each (4 subscribers) carrying 12 stone 2lbs. (say 170lbs.) beating Lord Burford's Waymoth, with great ease, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at the second spring meeting, he received forfeit of 130 guineas from the Duke of Queenbury's chesnut horse Egiam, carrying him 4 lbs. It must be observed, that the great Oatland stakes is considered among the first races in England; at the end of 1800 he was taken with the distemper which put an end to his racing; and was then purchased of the Prince of Wales for me; and imported from London last fall. The above pedigree and performances of Speculator, are taken from the general stud-book and racing callenders of England; the authority of which has never yet been called in question, and they are always referred as authentic records upon those subjects.
JOHN HOOMES
Bowling Green, Virginia.
The above horse was at our request, sent by John Hoomes esq. to this state, & will stand the ensuing season at the plantation of John Breckinridge, on North-Elkhorn, where very extensive and excellent blue grass pasture, well enclosed and well watered; will be furnished to mares coming at a distance, gratis.
The greatest care will be taken of the mares, and corn furnished if required, at the market price; but we will not be liable for escapes or accidents.
Mr. Hoomes has been in the practice for many years, of importing from England, the finest horses which that country produces; and from his character, and our acquaintance with him, the most implicit reliance can be placed in any certificate he gives.
Any person putting seven mares, and becoming responsible, gets one gratis; if the horse stands in the state, and continues the present owner's, those mares that do not prove in foal, has the next year gratis, except the groom's fee.

From the best information I have received, the above prices are not equal to the averaged value of Speculator's colts foaled in 1803—The above list has been indiscriminately taken, and are all that have been personally applied to and listed, I shall continue to procure all I can and add them weekly. I wish to employ a careful white man that can keep the books & assist the groom in taking care of and feeding the mares. The above list is a true copy.
