THE INAUGURAL SPEECH. —With reference to his inaugural speech in 1801, Mr. Jefferson says, "My conscience tells me that I have, on every occasion, acted up to that declaration, according to its obvious import, and to the understanding of every candid mind."—We have not before us, at this moment, the Speech in which this declaration was made, and cannot pretend to enumerate every instance of departure from the rules of conduct which he there laid down for himself; these instances have been numerous, and have been often exposed to the publick view, by those whose business it was to detect them. How far his displacements without even the imputation or allegation of delinquency, how far his justification of these displacements, as in the case of the Collector of New-Haven, are at variance with, are in direct hostility to, his declarations, it is unnecessary to point out. How far his conduct has not been an eulogium upon the doctrine of "respecting equally the rights of all", predicated by himself upon the ground of our being "all brethren of the same principle—all federalists—all republicans", has been often inquired into, often displayed, often published.—The declaration was itself insincere, and was, of course, regarded as invalid and unbinding.—But "my conscience tells me!"—To estimate the value of this assertion we should know what is always meant by conscience.—Sterne, when speaking of the man who pretends to morality without religion, tells us that it is made sometimes to mean, not the principle of decisive rectitude, but desire, appetite, or opinion. Whether this definition will apply in the present instance, or whether the "principle of decisive rectitude" has directed him in the past, or may direct him in the future, performances of his declarations, are matters left fairly open to general observation. He exhorts his friends in these words—"Let us do them [the federalists] justice, and more than justice, in all competitions of interest"—Whether "more than justice" may mean something ulterior, beyond, or beside justice, we will not undertake to determine; but what we have experienced admonishes us to beware of ambiguities. We might, however, charitably suppose that he meant to "correct the procedure" of former management; if such supposition did not seem to promise too much.
There are few persons in the United States who could have expected from their President, such an exposition of a notorious fact, of its cause and consequence, as is furnished in the following words.—
"At home, fellow-citizens, you best know whether we have done well or ill. The suppression of unnecessary offices, of useless establishments and expenses, enabled us to discontinue our internal taxes. These, covering our land with officers, and opening our doors to their intrusions, had already begun that process of domestic vexation, which, once entered, is scarcely to be restrained from reaching successively every article of produce and of property. If among these taxes, some minor ones fell, which had not been inconvenient, it was because their amount would not have paid the officers who collected them, and because, if they had any merit, the state authorities might adopt them, instead of others less approved."
"The remaining revenue on the consumption of foreign articles, is paid chiefly by those who can afford to add foreign luxuries to domestick comforts. Being collected on our sea-board and frontiers only, and incorporated with the transactions of our mercantile citizens, it may be the pleasure and the pride of an American to ask what farmer, what mechanic, what labourer, ever sees a tax-gatherer of the United States?"
We consider this part of the Speech as not less insulting to the understanding of the people, than unworthy of the dignity of the character from whence it proceeded. Such a piece of declamation would not have astonished us had it been delivered by an electioneering partizan, to a drunken assembly of the heedwinked sovereignty; but as the speech, as the argument, as the assertion of the Chief Magistrate of our Country, we did expect to have found more cogency, more candour, more truth. When we say more truth we do not mean that truth has not been spoken; but we mean to say that it has not been spoken to its proper extent; nor, as far as it does go, with the candour that ought to distinguish all communications which a government collectively, or a particular agent of government, may at any time think proper to make to the people.
There is not in America one man, who has read or may read this speech, who does not know that the change of circumstances affecting our foreign relations, which took place not only previous to the session of 1801—2, but even previous to the inauguration of Mr. Jefferson, admitted a reduction of the revenue either in taxes or duties on imported articles, provided it was thought proper to relinquish the surplus fund thence accruing to the treasury, instead of applying it to the annihilation of the national debt. The clashing interests of the belligerent powers, England and France, had so affected, involved, and injured us, had placed in such imminent hazard our national independence, respectability, and safety, as rendered it necessary to assert our claim to that consideration and respect which we called for. Hence the additional expense of armaments by sea, and of a state of defence on shore. But when that cause of extraordinary expenditure ceased to exist, by the adjustment of our differences with France, the government was at liberty to reduce the revenue, and relieve the people from the additional burthens which that state of things had rendered necessary, either by repealing the internal taxes, or lessening the duty on imports. The repeal of the internal taxes was preferred: but had not Mr. Jefferson been ashamed to avow the whole truth, he might (by changing character with those whom he recommends to punishment as his revilers) have told us, and told us truly, that the internal taxes were abolished, not because they were most oppressive, but because it was the mean whereby he could best secure his popularity.
We ask any man, in the least acquainted with political affairs, to say whether the above is or is not the truth? and we then ask whether "the suppression of unnecessary offices, of useless establishments and expenses, [alone] enabled us to discontinue our internal taxes?" Suppresso veri est eugusto falsi. —How far the truth has been suppressed by Mr. Jefferson, and how far the contrary has been advanced, let every man judge for himself. So uniform is his disposition to asperse the measures of his predecessors, either of his own accord or in pursuance of the will of his friends, that he never neglects an occasion, however indecorous on his part, to point his censure at them. It might have been supposed that the navy, the army, and the expenses consequent on them, were the "useless establishments" &c. whose suppression enabled him to discontinue the internal taxes; but he probably supposed that the people of America would not bear so direct a reproach upon that publick spirit which they had so spontaneously, and so universally evinced, in raising their little navy, and in repelling unjust and unprovoked aggression; he therefore takes care to confine his references to tax-gatherers, and officers of that description, about whom he rants in a style that would scarcely do honour to the invention of a Duane or a Sammy Smith, but is altogether unworthy of a President of the United States.
He tells us that "the remaining revenue on the consumption of foreign articles, is paid chiefly by those who can afford to add foreign luxuries to domestick comforts."—How far the people of the United States can dispense with the luxury of a coat or a shirt, or how soon they may be disposed to dispense with the luxuries of foreign liquors, foreign sugars, foreign teas, &c. might puzzle even Mr. Jefferson to determine. We believe it may be asserted that the consumer not only pays the duties upon imported goods, but that he even pays a commercial profit upon those duties; so that in the end it is to the people pretty nearly the same thing, whether they pay the tax directly or indirectly. When the President tells us that these contributions (that is the remaining products of the revenue after the repeal of the internal tax laws) enable the government not only to pay the current expenses, but to extend the limits of our territory; he ought to have added that, to make up the inadequacy of these resources, an inadequacy occasioned by the repeal of the taxes, we have been obliged to lay another burthen upon the people, by subjecting them to the payment of an additional sum of two dollars and fifty cents on every hundred dollars worth of goods imported into the country for their consumption. If the receipts from the impost remaining at the time the internal revenue was abolished, were fully adequate to all the demands upon them, whence the necessity of selling the Bank Stock? whence the necessity of burthening commerce in the first instance, but the people ultimately, with an additional tax of two and one half per cent. upon all imported goods? The internal taxes had been railed against, they had been rebelled against; the party of Mr. Jefferson when seeking power pledged themselves that they should be repealed; to keep their power they must, in this particular, keep their word; this source of revenue was consequently abolished; but to supply the deficiency thereby occasioned, it became necessary to create a new source. This Mr. Jefferson knew when he was laying this flattering picture before the people, and, since he thought proper to touch the subject, this he ought also to have made known.
Upon the subject of taxation we would offer a few remarks; premising that neither Mr. Jefferson nor his ministers are the authors of the system of finance adopted in this country, which owes its birth to General Hamilton. The extensive knowledge of that great man, and all his publick acts, we hold in high estimation; but we are nevertheless of opinion that indirect taxes are not favourable to liberty. In common life we say "that which is acquired with ease is spent with indifference"—It is pretty nearly the same with the revenues of a state; those taxes which we contribute without any visible diminution of our property, may be squandered with useless profusion, and almost without responsibility on the part of the agent. We would illustrate this position by a plain question. If for the purchase of Louisiana it had been necessary to impose a direct tax of three dollars on every inhabitant of the United States, would not the merits of that acquisition have been very differently inquired into, and very differently decided upon, by the people? We assert with confidence that had such been the case, the subject of our present remarks never would have existed: Mr. Jefferson never would have delivered a second speech on the occasion of proceeding to the qualification of a President. In order to make the people vigilant and watchful over the conduct of their servants (as it is the fashion to call those who are in effect the rulers of their masters), a mode of direct taxation is absolutely necessary; this we have seen exemplified; and this the present administration well knew, when they entered into power; and, therefore, one of their earliest acts was, by removing this strong motive, to free themselves from the consequences a too scrupulous investigation. In the present state of society in the United States the greatest portion of the revenue must arise from duty on imports; but that method may be pushed beyond the limits of sound policy; and it is nevertheless taxation, although our doors may not be invaded by the tax-gatherer.
The President admits that some of those who have opposed the purchase of Louisiana, may have been opposed to the measure from an honest fear that an enlargement of territory might endanger the union; and to quiet this apprehension he dictatorially tells us, that, the larger our association the less it will be shaken by local passions. When we speak of the magnitude of an association we generally apply the term to the numbers of those who are associated, not to the extent of country which those numbers may inhabit. In the present instance it is applied to the extent of territory, and the position is assumed that the more sparse our population, the more secure are
we against domestick disturbances. This is a mere speculative opinion; and had it been delivered merely as an opinion, it would not be of much consequence; but it is delivered as a fixed and established principle, as a political axiom. Whether it be or be not correct, we will not undertake to argue; as any argument upon abstract principles would lead us beyond the limits to which we are, at this time, forced to confine ourselves. Divide and Conquer is an old maxim; and if we understand Mr. Jefferson truly, his assertion amounts to this that the less united the citizens may be in local position, the less opportunity they may have to enlighten one another, the more easy it is to render them the dupes of political intrigue.—The position has generally been held by the best writers, that the more compact, the more closely condensed the population of a country may be, the more strength and stability does it derive from its numbers. This doctrine seems to be in direct hostility to that of Mr. Jefferson.
He tells us (in his own way) that the Constitution having deprived him of the power to interfere with the rights of conscience, he therefore has not undertaken to meddle with, or to prescribe the rites of religion; but has left them as the Constitution found them.
That part of the constitution to which he here refers is in the third amendment, and is in these words, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of Religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
By restricting Congress, it must be inferred that every other power created by the Constitution was, in like manner, prohibited from interfering in matters of religion. This Mr. Jefferson admits, for he tells us that "its free exercise is placed, by the Constitution, independent of the powers of the general government."—Whence, then, the necessity, whence the propriety, of his telling us that HE therefore, has not undertaken to prescribe to the people of the United States a ritual or form of worship? He knew very well that he dare not attempt such an arrogant and unwarrantable measure; he knew well enough that such an attempt upon the most sacred right of the people, would have been an impeachable offence. Is a man to come forward and claim applause, or even approbation, because he has forborne to do an act which the fundamental laws of his country and his oath of office told him he must not even meditate? We are at a loss to know why any allusion whatever has been made to the exercises of Religion. Some motive Mr. Jefferson must have had. What that is best known to himself; but from the general tenour of his sentiments on this point, we cannot interpret his motive into any other words than "these—I regret that, in the progress of the reformation which I have begun and pursued, I have been restrained, by a positive clause in the constitution, from 'correcting the procedure' in matters of religion. 'Obeying the mandates of Reason,' I should, but for this clause, have advanced 'under its counsel', until I should have eradicated that 'sanctimonious reverence for the customs of their ancestors' which shackles the minds of those who are still the slaves of this ridiculous superstition.—I merely drop this as a hint, which you may improve, by ascertaining how far it may be expedient to remove this restraint by a 'corresponding amendment of the Constitution.'"
Be this the interpretation of Mr. Jefferson's motive, or be it not, we cannot consider him the less censurable for having alluded to the subject in the manner he has done. He is not ignorant of the disposition of those upon whom he expects to make an impression; he is not ignorant of the positive incapacity of a majority of those who may read or hear of his speech, to judge of the absurdity of his telling them that he has not done that which he has just informed them he had no power to do. No; he expected, and he will not be disappointed, that with a large portion of his followers, it would be looked upon as an additional proof, of his "sanctimonious reverence" for the freedom of his fellow-citizens.
One object of the speech, and to which it has in almost every part, a manifest tendency, is to reconcile the people to the changes made, and perhaps, also, to those meditated, in the Constitution. Whether our disapprobation of this design of the speech, may or may not be entitled to any consideration, we cannot refrain from publishing it; and from entering a solemn protest against that spirit of innovation which has prevailed over some parts, and which now threatens other parts, of the national compact. Notwithstanding all that he has said against those who are opposed to such frequent changes in the fundamental principles of our society, (for we are not to consider his remarks on that subject as confined to the Indians, but as meant to extend also to all those of the Citizens of the United States, who are averse to alterations in the religious and political establishments of the Union: if there is a doubt entertained that he desires to be so understood, we would be glad to know what is meant by "THEY TOO HAVE THEIR ANTI-PHILOSOPHISTS," or, as Mr. J. wished to have said, their anti-philosophers, and what is meant by "amongst THEM ALSO is [are] seen the action and counter-action of good sense and bigotry.") We say that notwithstanding all he has said on the subject, we are proud of being ranked among those who, in Mr. J's sense of the word, "dread reformation"; who would "wish to keep things in their present state"; so long as we can have no hope of replacing them in that state in which they were found by the present administration..
Whether Mr. Jefferson is to be considered friendly to the Resolutions of Mr. Randolph and Mr. Nicholson, or whether he disapproves of them, we cannot pretend to judge. But until he shall explicitly declare his sentiments on this very important subject, his well known hostility to the Constitution from its very origin, (taken in union with his insinuation that further amendments may be required) leaves us at liberty to look upon him as their advocate. This we are not willing to believe; we would rather have it in our power to class Mr. Jefferson with those who
have, at last, awakened to the danger of any longer abetting the designs of such men; whose only aim is to overthrow the order of things established by the Constitution, and raise on its ruins the horrible tyranny of Democracy. Such, undoubtedly, if not the design must be the consequence of those two proposed amendments, if adopted.
We shall detain the reader but for one other remark. The subject of it is not unimportant; but we deem it unnecessary to dwell long upon that which will bear its own comment to the mind of every reader.
The advocates of Mr. Jefferson have haughtily boasted that he never condescended to read the Newspapers, or to inquire what was therein said of his views or measures: and when it was observed, by a member of the General Court of Massachusetts, that he would believe certain things unless Mr. Jefferson denied them; it was sneeringly retorted that he would never stoop to notice the discontented effusions of a contemptible faction. He has undertaken, however, to give the lie direct to all his dear friends, who would kindly make him the possessor of so much magnanimity. He has shown to the world that he not only reads but feels what is said of his political conduct in the federal papers.—He complains that all that licentiousness could devise or dare has been directed through the Press against his administration. So completely had the licentiousness of the Press been exhausted by the friends of Mr. Jefferson, to promote his elevation, that there is scarcely any subject of defamation left untouched; and the poor federalists have only the barren topics arising from mere matters of fact, to descend upon. These indeed have been sufficiently copious. So conscious were the administration that what their leader is pleased to term licentiousness, is nothing more or less than truth, that their prosecutions have been commenced in those states only where the truth is not allowed to be given in evidence: so conscious were they of the danger of allowing the truth to be pleaded, that one of their first acts was to repeal that law which gave to the person accused the right of proving what he had written or published. But with what grace Mr. Jefferson, who owes his present rank to the abuse of every valuable privilege of the press, with what grace he who could avail himself of the infamous authors of the Aurora, and of the Prospect Before Us, can complain of the licentiousness of the Press, let him who has lost the faculty of blushing undertake to declare!
It seems that those who have dared to be opposed to Mr. Jefferson, owe their safety not to his forbearance, his lenity, or his respect for the freedom of discussion, but simply to the more urgent duties which press on the time of the publick servants.—But though he has not time himself, he supposes that others may have more leisure; and those he exhorts to enforce the laws against defamation.—He who has time, renders a service to PUBLICK MORALS and PUBLICK TRANQUILLITY, in reforming these abuses by THE SALUTARY COERCIONS THE LAW. Judge Chase was impeached for having directed the attention of the Grand Jury of Delaware to the files of a Newspaper called the Mirror of the Times, one of the most infamous of the infamous revilers of the administration of Mr. Adams; what then shall we think of the President of the United States; who stoops so low as to incite every man in the country, who is base enough to be his tool, to become an informer against all those who shall dare, by publishing truth, to speak unfavourably of him? The whole of what he says upon the subject of the Press, places him so completely in its power, that we feel a degree of humiliation even in noticing the truly contemptible standard to which he has, in that part of his speech, reduced himself: we will therefore dismiss it, as a thing every way imprudent and undignified; every way beneath reprehension.
We have now taken a cursory review of this very extraordinary document. We imagine our review will not be very pleasing to those who considered it as a thing of such perfection. If it has been shown to be otherwise, they have themselves to blame—We had at first no intention of exposing it; but having been driven by the necessity of self justification to do so, we could no longer avoid it; and from the attention we have given it, we are obliged to conclude, as we began, by asserting that it is A BAD SPEECH.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  A PROCLAMATION.  WHEREAS a treaty between the United States of America and the United Tribes of Sac and Fox Indians was concluded and signed on the third day of November one thousand eight hundred and four, and was duly ratified and confirmed by the President of the United States on the twenty-fifth day of January following, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, which treaty is in the words following, to wit:  A treaty between the United States of America and the united tribes of Sac and Fox Indians.  Articles of a treaty made at St. Louis, in the district of Louisiana, between William Henry Harrison, governor of the Indiana Territory and of the district of Louisiana, superintendent of Indian affairs for the said territory and district, and commissioner plenipotentiary of the United States, for concluding any treaty or treaties which may be found necessary with any of the north western tribes of Indians, of the one part, and the chiefs and head men of the united Sac and Fox tribes of the other part.  Article 1. The United States receive the united Sac and Fox tribes into their friendship and protection, and the said tribes agree to consider themselves under the protection of the United States and of no other power whatsoever.  Article 2. The general boundary line between the lands of the United States and of the said Indian tribes shall be as follows, to wit: Beginning at a point on the Missouri river opposite to the mouth of
the Gasconade river; thence in a direct course so as to strike the river Jefferson at the distance of thirty miles from its mouth, and down the said Jefferson to the Mississippi, thence up the Mississippi to the mouth of the Ouisonconging river, and up the same to a point which shall be thirty-six miles in a direct line from the mouth of the said river thence by a direct line to the point where the Fox river (a branch of the Illinois) leaves the small lake called Sahagun; thence down the Fox river to the Illinois river and down the same to the Mississippi. And the said tribes for and in consideration of the friendship and protection of the United States which is now extended to them, of the goods (to the value of two thousand two hundred and thirty-four dollars and fifty cents) which are now delivered, and of the annuity herein after stipulated to be paid, do hereby cede and relinquish forever to the United States, all the lands included within the above described boundary.
Art. 3. In consideration of the cession and relinquishment of land made in the preceding article, the United States will deliver to the said tribes at the town of St. Louis, or some other convenient place on the Mississippi, yearly and every year, goods suited to the circumstances of the Indians, of the value of one thousand dollars (six hundred of which are intended for the Sacs, and four hundred for the Foxes) reckoning that value at the first cost of the goods in the city or place in the United States where they shall be procured. And if the said tribes shall hereafter at an annual delivery of the goods aforesaid, desire that a part of their annuity should be furnished in domestic animals, implements of husbandry, and other utensils convenient for them, or in compensation to useful artificers who may reside with or near them, and be employed for their benefit, the same shall at the subsequent annual delivery be furnished accordingly.
Art. 4. The United States will never interrupt the said tribes in the possession of the lands which they rightfully claim, but will on the contrary protect them in the quiet enjoyment of the same, against their own citizens, and against all other white persons who may intrude upon them. And the said tribes do hereby engage that they will never sell their lands or any part thereof to any sovereign power, nor to the citizens of the United States.
Art. 5. Lest the friendship which is now established between the United States and the said Indian tribes should be interrupted by the misconduct of individuals, it is hereby agreed that for injuries done by individuals no private revenge or retaliation shall take place, but instead thereof complaints shall be made by the party injured to the other, by the said tribes or either of them to the superintendent of Indian affairs or one of his deputies, and by the superintendent or other person appointed by the president, to the chiefs of the said tribes. And it shall be the duty of the said chiefs upon complaint being made as aforesaid to deliver up the person or persons against whom the complaint is made to the end that he or they may be punished agreeably to the laws of the state or territory where the offence may have been committed; and in like manner if any robbery, violence or murder shall be committed on any Indian or Indians belonging to the said tribes or either of them, the person or persons so offending shall be tried, and if found guilty punished in the like manner as if the injury had been done to a white man. And it is further agreed, that the chiefs of the said tribes shall to the utmost of their power exert themselves to recover horses or other property which may be stolen from any citizen or citizens of the United States by any individual or individuals of their tribes, and the property so recovered shall be forthwith delivered to the superintendent or other person authorised to receive it that it may be restored to the proper owner; and in cases where the exactions of the chiefs shall be ineffectual in recovering the property stolen as aforesaid, if sufficient proof can be obtained that such property was actually stolen by any Indian or Indians belonging to the said tribes or either of them, the United States may deduct from the annuity of the said tribes a sum equal to the value of the property which has been stolen. And the United States hereby guarantee to any Indian or Indians of the said tribe a full indemnification for any horses or other property which may be stolen from them by any of their citizens, provided that the property so stolen cannot be recovered and that sufficient proof be so produced that it was actually stolen by a citizen of the United States.
Art. 6. If any citizen of the United States or other white person should form a settlement upon lands which are the property of the Sac and Fox tribes, upon complaint being made thereof to the superintendent or other person having charge of the affairs of the Indians, such intruder shall forthwith be removed.
Art. 7. As long as the lands which are now ceded to the United States remain in their property, the Indians belonging to the said tribes shall enjoy the privilege of living and hunting upon them.
Art. 8. As the laws of the United States regulating trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes are already extended to the country inhabited by the Sacs and Foxes, and as it is provided by those laws that no person shall reside as a trader in the Indian country without a license under the hand and seal of the superintendent of Indian affairs or other person appointed for the purpose by the President; The said tribes do promise and agree that they will not suffer any trader to reside amongst them without such licence; and that they will from time to time give notice to the superintendent or to the agent for their tribes of all the traders that may be in their country.
Art. 9. In order to put a stop to the abuses and impositions which are practised upon the said tribes by the private traders, the United States will at a convenient time establish a trading house or factory where the individuals of the said tribes can be supplied with goods at a more reasonable rate than they have been accustomed to procure them.
Art. 10. In order to evince the sincerity of their friendship and affection for the United States and a respectful deference for their advice by an act which will not only be acceptable to them but to the common Father of the nations of the earth, the said tribes do hereby solemnly promise and agree that they will put an end to the bloody war which has heretofore raged between their tribes and those of the Great and Little Osages. And for the purpose of burying the tomahawk and renewing the friendly intercourse between themselves and the Osages, a meeting of their respective chiefs shall take place, at which, under the direction of the above named commissioner or the agent of Indians residing at St. Louis an adjustment of all their differences shall be made and peace established upon a firm and lasting basis.
Art. 11. As it is probable that the government of the United States will establish a military post at or near the mouth of the Ouisonconging river and the land on the lower side of the river may not be suitable for that purpose, the said tribes hereby agree that a fort may be built either on the upper side of the Ouisonconging or on the right bank of the Mississippi, as the one or the other may be found most convenient, and a tract of land not exceeding two miles square shall be given for that purpose. And the said tribes do further agree that they will at all times allow to traders and other persons travelling through their country, under the authority of the United States, a free and safe passage for themselves and their property of every description. And that for such passage they shall at no time and on no account whatever be subject to any toll or exaction.
Art. 12. This treaty shall take effect and be obligatory on the contracting parties as soon as the same shall have been ratified by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, the said William Henry Harrison and the Chiefs and head men of the Sac and Fox tribes have hereunto set their hands and affixed their seals. DONE at St. Louis in the district of Louisiana, and on the third day of November, one thousand eight hundred and four; and of the Independence of the United States the twenty-ninth.

ADDITIONAL ARTICLE. It is agreed that nothing in this treaty contained shall affect the claim of any individual or individuals who may have obtained grants of land from the Spanish government and which are not included within the general boundary line laid down in this treaty: Provided that such grants have at any time been made known to the said tribes and recognised by them.
Now therefore to the end that the said treaty may be observed and performed with good faith on the part of the United States, I have caused the premises to be made publick, and I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office, civil or military, within the United States, and all others, citizens or inhabitants thereof, or being within the same, faithfully to observe and fulfil the said treaty and every clause and article thereof. In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand.
DONE at the city of Washington, the twenty-first day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and five and of the Independence of the United States of America, the twenty-ninth.
By the President, JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.
PHILADELPHIA, March 22. A letter from a senator of this state, at Lancaster, dated the 20th instant, states, that both houses were to adjourn, on the fifth of April; and adds, there was no doubt a Convention would be called, without the approbation of the government, by the simple resolution of both houses.
Philadelphia, March 21st, 1805. At a numerous and respectable meeting of republican citizens of the city of Philadelphia, assembled at the White Horse in Market street: GEORGE LOGAN, Chairman, MATHEW CAREY, Secretary.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the legislative department of the government of this commonwealth, is not vested with a constitutional, or lawful, authority to call a convention of the people, for the purpose of abolishing, or altering the state constitution (which every member of the legislature has been solemnly sworn or affirmed to support) the call of a convention, by the general assembly, can only be justified on a principle of publick convenience, after the people themselves have fairly and fully deliberated and decided upon the subject.
Resolved, That as the people of Pennsylvania have not had an opportunity to deliberate and decide upon the recent project for calling a convention (a project which was divulged in the city of Philadelphia but a few days ago, and which has not yet been announced in many parts of the state) to abolish and alter the constitution; the members of the legislature cannot at this time, possess the degree of information, on so momentous a subject, which would justify a legislative interposition.
Resolved, That the memorial and remonstrance against calling a convention, proposed by the society of constitutional republicans for the consideration of the citizens, be signed by the chairman, and countersigned by the secretary, and that a copy thereof be transmitted to each branch of the legislature, with copies of the foregoing resolutions.
Attest, GEORGE LOGAN, Chairman. MATHEW CAREY, Secretary.
LONDON, January 26. Extract of a letter from an officer lately taken prisoner.
"All the line of battle ships and frigates lying in Brest are thus victualled, stored, manned, and fitted up for the conveyance of troops, without preventing them the advantage of being equally prepared for battle. Their holds are thus disposed: in lieu of stowing three tier of water, they have but one which is their upper tier; the ground tier is stowed with dry provisions; and in place of the third tier, six feet from the lower gun deck is built a temporary deck, fore and aft the ship, which is occupied by troops; hammocks are slung two deep, so that a line of battle ship on this temporary deck will alone stow 1000 troops; in all other parts of the ship hammocks are slung two deep; therefore, a 74 gun ship may be said to carry 1500 troops, independent of her complement of men. A proportion of their guns are calculated both for the land and sea services. The crew is made up of as many sailors as they can get, who are well exercised in military evolutions; and soldiers who have been accustomed to sea expeditions are chosen to do the ship's duty, but not out of the 1500."
The following is a correct list of the French fleet in the Outer Road at Brest, commanded by Admiral Gantheume, fully armed and manned.

With five cutters, and fifteen transports; of the latter, ten are said to contain nothing but arms and ammunition.  In the Inner Road at Brest are nine ships of the line, and four frigates; of the former, two or three deckers. They are all armed, but not manned. It was, however, reported, that sailors had been ordered from the National Flotilla to complete their crews. The troops encamped in the vicinity of Brest were said to amount to 16,000; and the garrison at Brest, its forts and batteries, were besides composed of 8,000 men, of whom 1,200 were of the artillery.

At a meeting of the TRUSTEES of the NORFOLK ACADEMY, held the 26th day of January, 1805. The Board proceeded to elect by ballot, a Master for the Academy, and on counting the votes, Edmund M'Guire , was declared to be duly elected. Resolved, That the Master of the Academy be allowed for teaching at the following rates, viz. For the English language, writing, and arithmetick, 12 dollars; for the English language, writing, arithmetick, and the higher branches of mathematics, 20 dollars; for the Latin and Greek languages, and mathematics, 30 dollars; and for the Latin, Greek, and French languages, mathematics, natural philosophy, and logick, 40 dollars per annum, which shall be paid quarterly in advance.  Extract from the minutes, A. JORDAN, SECRETARY.  February 22. tf 448
THE TRUSTEES wishing to promote the success of the institution, by every means in their power, and being of opinion that the Academy was improperly situated for a Publick School, have taken the house on Brigg's Point, owned by Mr. Boush. The accommodations are adequate to the objects of a large number of pupils, and the schools will commence on Monday next. Mr. Gibbon will have the instruction of the Scholars in English, arithmetick, and the other branches of mathematics. The Latin and Greek school will be wholly attended to by Mr. M'Guire. A French teacher is provided, and will be ready to engage in his duties when a sufficient number of scholars offer.  February 22. tf 448

Valuable Lands and Property, IN NORTH-CAROLINA, KENTUCKY AND VIRGINIA. ON the first Monday of April next, at seven o'clock in the evening, (if not previously disposed of at private sale) at the Merchants' Coffee-house, in the city of Philadelphia, by order of the Assignee of M'Calmont & Boys, will be sold, to the highest bidder, all the right, title, and interest, which they had and assigned for the benefit of their creditors in the Mortgages, Land, and Property, following:— A Mortgage dated 5th November, 1799, by John Shaw to John Hamilton, of one fourth part of a Tract of Land and Swamp, in Camden County, North-Carolina, called "The New Lebanon Estate," containing 24,000 acres, more or less. A Mortgage dated 5th November, 1799, by John Shaw, and Matthias E. Sawyer, to John Hamilton, of one half of a Tract of Land, called "The Old Lebanon Estate," situated at the head of the County of Camden, in North Carolina. These two mortgages were given to secure the payment of a Bond dated 6th Sept. 1797, in which John Shaw and others are bound in the penal sum of 15,000 dollars, for the payment of 8,000 dollars with interest, to John Hamilton, on or before the 22d of September, 1799; and were assigned by him (that part of the "Old Lebanon Estate" which he claims under M. E. Sawyer only excepted) to Samuel Boys on the 18th April, 1803, upon his paying to the mortgagee 5500 dollars, 45 cts. being the amount of principal, interest and costs then due on the mortgages. This assignment was made in pursuance of a decree of the Court of Equity in the district of Edenton, and the consideration money advanced by the Assignee of M. E. B. for the benefit of their creditors, and by thee request. A mortgage dated April 4th, 1800, by John Shaw to M'Calmont and Boys, of one undivided fourth part of "The New Lebanon Estate," above described, and one undivided sixth part of "The Old Lebanon Estate," containing 7,000 acres, more or less. This Mortgage is conditioned for the payment of a Bond in which John and William Shaw are bound for the payment of 5500. 10s. Pennsylvania currency, to George M'Calmont, on or before the 20th June, 1800, with interest. These three Mortgages (excepting that part of the Old Lebanon estate which J. Hamilton claims under M. E. Sawyer) with the debts secured thereby, will be sold together. The immense value of the Estates mortgaged, affording an exhaustive supply of all kinds of Lumber, and in the neighbourhood of and partly bounded by the Lebanon Canal, gives the most ample security for the mortgage money; and its amount will probably put it in the power of the purchaser to become entire owner of the shares of the estates mortgaged. A mortgage dated 5th Sept. 1799, by Robert Camp to G. M'Calmont, of a Tract of Land in Prince William county, Virginia, on the main run of Occoquan, for securing the payment of 850 dollars, with interest. This Mortgage is duly recorded, &c. Also, all the right and title of Samuel Boys, and by him assigned for the benefit of his creditors, in the following valuable Tracts of Lands in Kentucky: Acreage. 22,000 in Jefferson county, Flo. d's Fork. 6,847 1-2 in Elk county, on the waters of Elkhorn, about ten miles from Frankford. 2,000 corner of Elkhorn creek, waters of Ohio, adjoining land of Lowry Griffith, Peart. 500 in Bourbon county, Licking creek. 400 do. do. 1,000 in Bourbon county, north fork of Licking, adjoining a survey of Joseph Russell, of 206 acres, to the north. 4,466 in Clark county on Miller's creek. 1,494 } 178 1/2 Floyd's Fork. 1,000 } 10,000 on Rock Castle. 50,000 on Green river. 6,800 on North Elkhorn. 4,000 on Miller's creek. 6,000 Licking creek. 2,000 on Harden's creek, military lands. 1,000 on North Fork of Beargrass, an old military claim. 500 on Salt river, Harden's creek, Floyd's Fork. 18,000 surveyed for the estate of F. Lewis, deceased. 11,000 do. Fishpool. 6,000 on Floyd's Fork. 1,000 on Harden's creek, opposite the mouth of Eagle creek. 1,000 on Rolling creek. A liberal credit will be given and the conditions of sale made known at the time appointed, or previously upon application to the subscriber, who will give information as to title, quality of lands, &c. and is authorised to treat with persons inclined to purchase by private contract.

WETTENHALL'S GREEK GRAMMAR. JUST PUBLISHED, AND FOR SALE AT WILLIAM P. FARRAND & CO'S, Classical Book-Store, No. 185, Market-Street, FARRAND'S EDITION OF WETTENHALL'S GREEK GRAMMAR. An Edition literally translated into English, as far as possible; with a full variation of the examples of Adjectives; also, variations of a participle in each tense: with a table of Abbreviations explained. The translator has been politely favoured with the following letters, which he offers as testimonials in favour of his Edition of WETTENHALL'S GRAMMAR. DEAR SIR, You ask my opinion, whether it be better that a Greek Grammar, intended for the use of schools should be in Latin or in English; and I can give you the more readily, as my opinion is and ever has been what, I presume, you would on this occasion wish it to be. I think, that not only the Greek, but all other Grammars, which we have occasion to use in our schools, should be in English: because it is certainly desirable, that whatever is to be committed to memory should first be, if possible, perfectly understood; and because I am persuaded, that even the best of our scholars understand their native language better than any other. If, in proposing to me this question, you have been influenced by any solicitude with respect to the demand which there may be for your translation of WETTENHALL, I am confident that it is wholly unnecessary, for, if I am not much mistaken, there will hereafter be little or no demand, in any part of the United States, for any other Wittenhall than that with which you are now about to furnish us. I have looked over it as far as your Translation goes; and though I cannot say, that I find in it no inaccuracies, yet I can say truly, that there are but very few, and those of no great consequence; whilst, as to the quality of the paper, the size and neatness of the type, and the general correctness which every where prevails in it, it is far superior to any other edition of that work which has been hitherto published in this place. JOHN ANDREWS. MR. WM. P. FARRAND. The Professors in Dickinson College, who have carefully examined the first sheets of your English translation of WETTENHALL'S GREEK GRAMMAR, observe, with pleasure, that the work is executed in an accurate manner—the literal notes are highly useful, and the type is neat and elegant. It is their wish and hope, that your performance—a work that must have cost much pains and expense—may be duly estimated by the publick, and that it may encourage and aid studious young men to acquire an accurate knowledge of one of the most admired and useful languages of antiquity. On behalf of the Faculty, ROBERT DAVIDSON, President. MR. WM. P. FARRAND. DEAR SIR, For almost a century, common sense has exhibited and rejected the absurdity of teaching the Roman tongue by the use of a grammar written only in the language it is intended to illustrate, and to which the pupil is a perfect stranger. As at the time youths begin the study of Greek, their acquaintance with the Latin is very partial, the operation of the same principle is correcting the impropriety of teaching the elements of the Greek through the medium of that language. This is the more necessary, as in some grammars, particularly in Dr. WETTENHALL'S, the style has in it more of the refined elegance of the scholar than of the requisite simplicity of the teacher. Contemplating the correctness of your translation, the useful notes you have added, and the general utility of the work, I cannot avoid expecting as well as hoping that in its extensive circulation you will find your deserved reward. W. STAUGHTON. MR. WM. P. FARRAND. Philadelphia, October 25. 489
