DEFENSIVE AND DESCRIPTIVE
REMARKS,
ON THE
Tennessee Company Purchase.
ON the 24th day of January, in the year seventeen hundred and ninety five, the legislature of Georgia, in a full session assembled, in perfect conformity with their own constitution; did, by virtue of the powers to them delegated by the same, bargain and sell unto Zachariah Cox, Matthias Maher and their associates for a valuable consideration (acknowledged by the proper officers, to have been received into the treasury of state,) all that tract or parcel of land, denominated and known by the name of the Tennessee Company Purchase; which purchase embraces the Great Bend of the river Tennessee, together with a vast quantity of first rate bottom, which stretches itself along the South bank of said river for upwards of thirty miles, including at least, one hundred and fifty thousand acres of the most fertile and productive land on the continent of Western America.
Notwithstanding the solemnity, legality, and perfect constitutionality, of the above mentioned grant of land to Cox, and his associates; the very next assembly of Georgia, did, contrary to all law precedent, and the principles of justice, pass a declaration, (for it cannot properly be termed a law) declaring the sale and grant made by the legislature aforesaid, to the land in question, utterly null and forever void!!! and to crown this their most extraordinary unparallelled preposterous declaration, they then caused the record, which was made for said land, to be drew by violence from the archives of the state, and publicly committed to the flames!!! What motive or notions, induced this rumoured speculative assembly, to assume such unconstitutional, impolitic, and despotic powers, as to make and pass this their illegal, iniquitous and infamous declaration; I know not, but certain it is they did it, which serves either as a monument of their profound ignorance or abandoned principles, for nothing can be more obviously clear and certain beyond all manner of doubt, than that this their lunatic proceedings, has not, nor cannot affect the right of the company, (nor any of their grantees) to the said land in the smallest degree, for where an individual, or individuals, are parties to, and interested in any contract, which has or may hereafter be made, with either of the legislatures in any of the American states; that state, so contracting, as well as the individuals themselves, with whom they may have contracted, are forever after (without the mutual concurrence of all the parties any way interested) irrevocably precluded and barred from undoing of themselves what they have once so deliberately ratified and confirmed forever.
These rights & this doctrine is expressly guaranteed and recognized to every citizen, not only by the great confederated compact of united America, but likewise by the different state constitutions, and the universal principles of law and justice.
If notwithstanding the sacred right of the company, and their grantees, to the peaceable enjoyment of said purchase; we could conceive it possible for the state of Georgia, to be so impolitic and iniquitous as to oppose them in it, would not all public faith in that state be greatly weakened if not totally destroyed! the constitution flagrantly violated with unexampled impunity! and the sacred temple of justice rent asunder and buried in the wreck of violated fundamental law! "Forbid it justice," forbid it good policy, and forbid it people of Georgia.

Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, that in all causes at law and in equity, where the title or boundaries of land shall come in question in the circuit courts, the attorneys fee to be taxed in the bill of costs, shall be the same as has been allowed heretofore in the district courts, and in all other cases the same fee shall be allowed as heretofore has been in similar cases in the quarter session courts.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, that each circuit court shall from time to time appoint rule days, and the rules shall be taken in the clerk's office on the rule days in the same manner and under the same regulations heretofore prescribed for the district courts.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, that every clerk of a circuit court shall enter into bond with security, and renew the same, for the faithful execution of the duties of his office, and proceedings shall be had thereon in the same manner and under the same regulations prescribed in the case of the clerks for the courts of quarter sessions.
Sec. 5. Be it further enacted, That the general court constituted by the act aforesaid, shall have full power and authority to award execution and enforce all decrees and judgments which may have been or shall be entered in the present general court before the act takes effect, in the same manner as the present general court could have done had not the act been made for establishing circuit courts; and any cause now depending in any district court may by consent of the parties be adjourned to the general court established by said recited act.
Sec. 6. Be it further enacted, That the circuit judges to be appointed under the act aforesaid, shall have the same power to award a change of venue for the same causes and under the same regulations as the district judges would have had if the act establishing circuit courts had not been passed.

Sec. 8. Be it further enacted, that the fourth section of the said recited act shall be read and construed to all intents and purposes as if the word "court" followed the word "circuit" wherever the word circuit is made use of in said section.

Sec. 13. And be it further enacted, that the circuit judges to be appointed by the said recited act, shall have the same power to order bail to be taken on
writs or other process which the judges of the district courts have heretofore had, and the assistant judges to be appointed by said act the same power which the quarter session justices have heretofore had.
Sec. 14. And be it further enacted, that the judges to be appointed by the said recited act shall severally be conservators of the peace, the said circuit judges throughout this commonwealth, and the assistant judges within their respective counties; and process may be taken out and executed in the same manner as is now the case in the district courts; and any assistant judge who shall neglect to act as such for six months together, shall vacate his office in the manner quarter session justices now do.
Sec. 15. Be it further enacted, that a circuit judge shall have power to take recognition of special bail in any cause depending in any of the circuit courts, and any assistant judge shall possess the same power in any cause depending in the circuit court to which he belongs.

LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY of the TREASURY, ACCOMPANYING HIS REPORT, Prepared in obedience to the directions of the act, supplemental to the act, intitled "An act to establish the Treasury Department."
Treasury Department, December 16, 1802. Sir, I have the honor to enclose a Report, prepared in obedience to the directions of the act, supplementary to the act, intitled "An act to establish the Treasury Department." I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Sir, Your obedient servant, ALBERT GALLATIN. The hon. the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
REPORT. IN obedience to the directions of
the act, supplementary to the act, intitled "An act to establish the Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following Report:
The permanent revenue of the United States, exclusively of fees, fines and penalties, which in a general view of the subject, may be omitted, consist of duties on merchandise and tonnage, proceeds of the sales of public lands, and duties on postage.
The duties on postage, which were, in the annual report of last year, estimated at 50,000 dollars, have during the year ending on the 30th of September last, yielded 50,500 dollars. The decrease of ship letters, the extension of the establishment through unproductive roads, and the acceleration of the progress of the mail, may, however, cause some defalcation in the receipts of the ensuing year.
Three hundred and twenty-six thousand and fifty-two dollars and eight cents have been received during the same year, on account of public lands; of which sum, 17,162 dollars and 50 cents were paid in the treasury, in evidence of the public debt, and 179,575 dollars and 52 cents in specie. The local situation of the land offices not having yet rendered it practicable to draw the balance from the receivers of public monies.
Three hundred and forty thousand acres of land have been sold for six hundred and eighty thousand dollars, during the year ending on the 31st day of October last; of which quantity, near ninety-seven thousand acres were sold on account of preemptions, claimed by purchasers under John Cleves Symmes, and two hundred and forty-three thousand acres, are the result of current sales. The annexed statement (A) designates the quantities respectively sold in the several districts, and the annual payments receivable on account of the balance of nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars, due on these and on the preceding sales.
From these several results, it appears probable that the annual receipts under this head, will not, on an average, fall short of the sum of four hundred thousand dollars, at which they have been estimated.
Although it had been anticipated that the receipts in the treasury, on account of duties on merchandise and tonnage, could not for the present year, be effected by the restoration of peace in Europe, yet the sum actually paid has exceeded the most sanguine expectations.—Twelve millions, two hundred and eighty thousand dollars have been received during the course of the year ending on the 30th day of September last; a sum larger by two millions of dollars, than the amount received for the same duties during the preceding or any other year; and which exceeds, by twelve hundred thousand dollars, the aggregate heretofore collected, in any one year, on account of both the import and the internal duties; repealed by an act of last session.
This excess, which had not been calculated upon is considered, alone, as amply sufficient to cover any possible defalcation, which might, during the next and ensuing year, reduce that branch of the revenue below last year's estimate of nine millions five hundred thousand dollars. Such defalcation is not, however, apprehended, for although there are not yet sufficient data, precisely to ascertain the effect of peace on the amount of duties, those which are in the possession of this Department, tend to corroborate the presumption, that that sum at least, (nine millions and an half) will hereafter be annually received. The statement (B) which exhibits a comparative view of that revenue, for each quarter during the last two years, shows that the amount of duties accrued during the nine first months of the present year, exceeds eleven millions three hundred thousand dollars; and after deducting three millions five hundred thousand dollars, amount of debentures issued during the same period, on account of the re-exportation of foreign goods, leaves for those three quarters, a balance of more than seven millions eight hundred thousand dollars, subject to no other deduction than the expenses of collection: and from the knowledge already obtained of the importations during the present quarter, as well as from the gradual diminution of re-exportations, no doubt remains that the nett revenue accruing during the whole year will exceed the estimate.
From present appearances, the whole of the permanent REVENUES of the United States may therefore be reasonably computed at ten millions
of dollars,—of which sum, seven millions three hundred thousand dollars are appropriated for the payment of the principal and interest of the Public Debt, and two millions seven hundred thousand dollars are applicable to the current expenses of government.
According to the estimates for the year 1803, those expenses will, exclusively of a sum of 180,000 dollars, wanted to cover the Navy deficiencies of the years 1801 and 1802, but including sundry permanent appropriations which make no part of the annual estimates, amount to 2,660,000 dollars: to wit.
  For the Civil Department, & all Domestic Expenses of a Civil nature 680,000   For expenses attending the intercourse with foreign Nations, including prize causes and Barbary Powers 250,000   For the Military and Indian departments 830,000   For the Naval establishment, calculated on a supposition that six frigates shall be kept in constant employment, 900,000 
Dollars, 2,660,000
Neither the payments due on account of the convention with Great Britain, and which will, for three years, amount annually to eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars, nor the instalments and interests due on account of the 200,000 dollars loan obtained from the State of Maryland, for the City of Washington, are included in that calculation: as they may be defrayed out of the following resources which make no part of the PERMANENT REVENUES, viz.
1st. The surplus of specie in the treasury which, as the whole amount there will not at the close of the present year, fall much short of five millions of dollars, far exceed the sum which it is prudent to keep ready. The uncollected arrears of the DIRECT TAX, estimated at four hundred thousand dollars.
And 3dly. The outstanding uncollected INTERNAL DUTIES, amounting to near seven hundred thousand dollars.
The only embarrassment experienced during the course of last year, arose from the difficulty of procuring the remittances necessary to meet the large instalments of the debt due in Holland. The impossibility of obtaining bills on that country, to the amount wanted by government, and the loss which, on account of the rate of exchange, must be incurred by remitting circuitously through England, induced the secretary of the treasury to recommend, in a report to the commissioners of the SINKING FUND (marked C) a recourse to bank stock as the most favorable mode of remitting.
Of the five thousand shares in the stock of the bank of the United States, originally subscribed by the United States, 2,780 shares had been sold in the year 1796, by virtue of the act, intitled "An act making provision for the payment of certain debts of the United States;" and for the purpose of discharging a part of the debt due to the bank. The remaining 2,220 shares were now, under the same authority, sold at 45 per cent. advance: the 1,287,600 dollars which they produced were, in conformity to the provisions of the said act, applied towards discharging an equal amount of that part of the debt, which had become due to the bank before or during the year 1796, and the purchaser of the stock, sold, at the same time, to the treasury, an equal sum in bills on Holland at 41 cents per guilder; the securing of which large amount, at that rate, was the inducement on the part of government to dispose of the bank stock on those terms. As the dividend usually received on the bank stock sold, and the annual interest payable on the debt due to the bank, thus extinguished, were nearly equal, the July half yearly dividend on the stock, was in fact the premium paid for the purpose of effecting the remittance; and government has thereby been enabled to obtain, without raising the price of exchange, the whole amount wanted to meet the payments due in Holland, till the month of September 1803.
Exclusively of, and in addition to the debt of 1,287,600 dollars thus paid to the bank, out of the proceeds of the sale of bank shares—a sum of eight millions three hundred and thirty four thousand seven hundred and fifty seven dollars and eighty nine cents, has been paid out of the treasury during the year ending on the 30th day of September last, on account of the principal and interest of the Public Debt, and the

payments in part of the principal of the debt, made during the same period, have been as followeth.—
   Dolls. Cts.     1st. The payments on account of the principal and interest of the Domestic Debt, have been 4,628,105 39   From which deducting one year's interest on the same, Leaves a sum applied to the reimbursement of the six per cent and deferred stock of 1,157,845 64   2d. Paid to foreign officers, and for the registered debt, 9,603 18   3d. Principal of domestic loans, (exclusively of the 1,287,000 dollars paid out of the proceeds of bank shares) 202,400   4th. Evidences of public debt paid for lands, 17,162 50   5th. The payment on account of the principal and interest of the foreign debt have been, 3,310,874 32   From which sum deducting 1 year's interest and charges, equal to 462,731   And on account of the different rates at which bills have been purchased, & of sundry bills returned for non-payment, and now in luit, a further sum of 82,284 98   Leaves applicable to the payment of the principal, 545,015 98   2,765,858 34   4,152,869 66   Amounting altogether to four millions, one hundred and fifty two thousand, eight hundred and sixty-nine dollars, and sixty-six cents.   And if to that sum shall be added the dollars paid on account of the principal of the debt due to the bank, out of the proceeds of the sale of the bank shares the total amount of debt extinguished during the year, will be found to be 1,287,000   The balance of specie in the treasury which on the first day of October 1801, amounted to 2,948,718 dollars and 73 cents, had increased on the first day of October 1802, to the sum of 4,539,675 dollars and 37 cents, making a difference in favor of the treasury, of 1,590,956 dollars and 84 cents ; which last sum added to the above mentioned payment of 4,152,869 dollars and 66 cents made out of the treasury on account of the principal of the public debt, makes an actual difference in favor of the United States, of more than five millions, seven hundred and forty thousand dollars, during that year.   The payments on account of the principal of the public debt, from the first day of April 1801, to the thirtieth day of September 1802, (exclusively of, and in addition to the bank debt, discharged out of the proceeds of bank shares) amounts to 5,339,886 44   Viz. Dolls. Cts.   On account of the domestic debt, 1,334,942 81   On account of the foreign debt, 3,302,543 63   And in repayment of temporary loans, 702,400   5,339,886 44   And if to that sum shall be added, the increase of specie in the treasury, during the same period, which (as the amount on the 1st of April 1801, did not exceed 1,794,044 dollars and 85 cents) amounts to 2,745,630 72   Difference in favor the United States for those eighteen months will be found equal to eight millions, eighty- 8,085,517 16  
five thousand five hundred and seventeen dollars and sixteen cents.  Of the annual appropriation of 7,300,000 dollars for the principal and interest of the Public Debt , near three millions, nine hundred thousand dollars will be wanted to pay the interest which falls due in the year 1803, and the residue, amounting to three millions, four hundred thousand dollars may be considered as the sum applicable, during that year to the extinguishment of the principal of the public debt.  From all which it results that so long as the United States shall not be afflicted by any unforeseen calamity, and whilst the public expenditures shall be kept within their present limits, there does not appear any necessity for encreasing the public revenue.  All which is most respectfully submitted by  ALBERT GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treasury.  Treasury Department, Dec. 16, 1802.  TO JOSEPH H. DAVEISS, Esq.  Sir,  When an individual offers himself for the suffrages of the people, that people have a right to demand an honest avowal of his political opinions. As their dearest interests, their political honor and consistency are placed at his disposal, it is their right, it is their duty to make the enquiry, and he can have no negative right to dissent from it. If he refuses, you must admit, the presumption arises that his opinions do not accord with those of the people; and that he believes a declaration of them would be detrimental to his election. For if this were not your opinion, why would your political confession of faith, have accompanied the letter, which announced your pretensions to a seat in congress? You have too much knowledge now to be informed that no people ever rejected a man, because his opinions were similar to their own; and too much understanding to believe that a free people will ever elect a candidate to office whose political opinions are avowedly opposed to their own.  In pursuance then of the duties which the high character of a citizen imposes upon me, I now call upon you for a more full and explicit avowal of your political opinions, than has yet appeared before the public. I am anxious that my representative should carry into the bosom of congress those principles which every republican would cherish. And I cannot be silent when a candidate is about to enter that body in a dubious character.  The voice of fame hath declared that your political opinions have vibrated; and that you have neither been consistent with yourself, nor at all times friendly to the policies of Mr. Jefferson. Satisfactory information must therefore be given whether you are displeased with Mr. Adams because he is out of office, or pleased with Mr. Jefferson because he is in it. I am well aware fir, that it is natural for some characters to worship the rising sun; but I do not therefore conclude that it is generous to kick at the fallen. I wish you to give me some information upon this subject. And perhaps you will without my requesting it, tell me when, or how, or for what good reason, you so suddenly have acquired all this attachment to the present administration.  To return to the voice of fame! It further instructs me to enquire, whether you did not at Danville, make a long speech in defence of the British treaty? Whether you have not considered the Alien and Sedition Bills as constitutional? Whether you did not approve the administration of John Adams? And have not repeatedly declared your disapprobation of that of Mr. Jefferson? Whether you have not declared the law repealing the act which authorized John Adams' midnight appointments to be unconstitutional?—And when elected into congress intend to oppose the present administration?  If your opinions upon these subjects are conformable to those of the people, you can have no objection to declare them; because the declaration would promote your election. If, however, you give no answer, I shall consider you unable to make a satisfactory one. I shall consider you an outward republican, and at heart a federalist. I shall believe you have used the general expressions of Mr. Jefferson, which all parties affect to admire, to cloak your real principles. And I shall conclude that as you have commenced your career with deceit, you will end by betraying.  SCEVOLA.  STRAYED or Stolen from Lexington on the evening of the 23d inst.  A BAY HORSE,  Upwards of fifteen hands high, five years old last spring, a few white hairs in his forehead, paces and trots, pretty valuable, no brands at this time recollected.

LEXINGTON, FEBRUARY 1, 1803.  We are just now informed that the office of the clerk of the county and quarter session court for this county, was last night entirely consumed by fire, together with all the records and papers.  On the first of January a dinner was given at Natchez, to W. C. C. Claiborne, governor of the Mississippi territory, by the officers of the first battalion of the second regiment of militia. After dinner a number of patriotic toasts were drunk. The following is selected as congenial to the sentiments of the inhabitants on the Western waters.  THE COMMERCE OF THE MISSISSIPPI AND DESTRUCTION TO THE POWER THAT MOLESTS IT.  NATCHEZ, January 8. MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE. Wednesday, January 5, 1803.  Resolved, by the legislative council and house of representatives of the Mississippi Territory in general assembly convened, That it is expedient for this legislature to express their sentiments respecting the discontinuance of the place of deposit for American merchandizes and effects at the port of New Orleans.  Resolved, That the governor of this territory be requested to forward the following memorial, to our delegate in Congress, to be by him presented to the President, Senate, and House of Representatives of the United States.  MEMORIAL  Of the legislative council, and house of representatives of the Mississippi Territory,  To the President, Senate, and House of Representatives of the United States.  Your memorialists beg leave to express their feelings and sentiments relative to an event, by which the interests of Western America in general, and of this Territory in particular, are materially affected. While the treaty of San Lorenzo et Real, secured the free navigation of the Mississippi, and a convenient place of deposit for the merchandizes and effects of American traders, it politically incorporated this country as a part of the United States. Under this auspicious change, we saw our trade flourishing, our property rising rapidly in value, and we felicitated ourselves in being the free and happy citizens of an independent republic.—Reposing in national faith for a continued observation of stipulated privileges, we had indulged the sanguine expectation, that this state of prosperity would not have been soon interrupted.  The motives which may have influenced the Spanish government, to withhold from us a place of deposit, are a subject of conjecture; but no doubt can exist as to the act itself being a direct infraction of our treaty with that nation.  A recent order by the government of Louisiana, prohibiting all intercourse between the citizens of the United States and the subjects of Spain, has considerably encreased the embarrassment upon our trade, and breathes a spirit of still greater enmity to the United States.  Your memorialists, conscious of the wisdom, justice and energy of the general government, rest assured, that no succour will be withheld which existing circumstances may require: and so far as may depend on ourselves, WE TENDER TO OUR COUNTRY OUR LIVES AND FORTUNES, in support of such measures as Congress may deem necessary, to vindicate the honor and protect the interest of the United States.  (Signed)  WILLIAM GORD. FORMAN, Speaker of the House of Representatives.  JOHN ELLIS, President of the Council.  Attest,  FELIX HUGHES, Secretary to the Council.  The following interesting intelligence was received at the office of the Constitutional Conservator, and published in a handbill on Monday evening, the third instant.  ADVERTISEMENT.  Under date of the 16th inst. the Intendant General of these provinces, tells me that the citizens of the United States of America, can have no commerce with his majesty's subjects they only having the free navigation of the river, for the exportation of the fruits and produce of their establishments to foreign countries, and the importation of what they may want from them—as such, I charge you so far as respects you, to be zealous and vigilant, with particular care, that them inhabitants, neither purchase or sell anything to the shipping, flat bottom'd boats, barges, or any other smaller vessels that may go along the river, destined for the American possessions, or proceeding from them, that they shall be informed of it, for their due compliance of the same.  (Signed)  CARLOS DE GRANDPREE. Baton Rouge, December 22, 1802.  FRANKFORT, January 28. Extract of a letter from Natchez, dated January 7th, 1803.  "I write you in a moment, which seems pregnant with great events.—You must, no doubt, have been apprised of an order of the Spanish government of Louisiana, dated on the 18th of October, 1802, by which we are denied a place of deposit on the banks of the Mississippi, within his Catholic Majesty's dominions. As a farther indication of the inimical disposition of that power to the interests of the United States, I enclose you a second order of that government, which goes to deny us all intercourse with said power.  "These measures have had great effect upon the minds of the citizens of this place. The territorial legislature have taken up the subject, and forwarded a memorial to the general government, in which they "tender their lives and fortunes in support of such measures as congress may deem necessary to vindicate the honor, and protect the interests of the United States." We are sensible of our own internal weakness; and detached as we are from our parent state, an immediate assistance in case of emergency, is rendered impracticable.—Yet, did we not view it as an act which would subject us to the censure of the general government, I am almost induced to believe we should attempt to force a compliance of national stipulations. We look on you as being equally interested in the trade of the Mississippi, and having been inured to dangers and hardships, and given a noble specimen of military prowess, our hopes should necessity require, are confided in you, and the rest of our Ohio brethren. The very name of a Kentuckian would strike the timid mind of a Spaniard with terror.—But the French, a warlike people, are hourly expected in New-Orleans.—I with the general government did not stand in the way of an immediate movement—for there will be no security to the commerce of Western America, until the Mississippi shall give the boundaries to the Union."  House of Representatives of the United States.  Friday, December 31, 1802.  A confidential message was received from the president. inclosing a letter from the governor of the Mississippi Territory with an accompanying letter received by him from the governor of Louisiana.  The galleries were cleared, and the doors remained shut until half past two o'clock.  Thursday, January 6, 1803.  Mr. Griswold moved resolutions to the following effect, with a view to refer them to the committee of the whole house.   1. Resolved, that the people of the United States are entitled to the free navigation of the Mississippi.  2. Resolved, that the navigation of that river has been obstructed by recent irregular measures carried on at New-Orleans.  3. Resolved, that the right of the people of the United States to the free navigation of that river, ought never to be abandoned.  4. Resolved, that a committee be appointed to enquire whether any and what legislative measures are necessary to secure the free navigation of that river.   The question was put on taking these resolutions into consideration, and lost. Ayes 32—Noes 50.  Mr. Randolph then called for the order of the day on the confidential message of the president, respecting New-Orleans; on which the galleries were cleared at about half past one o'clock, and the doors remained closed the remainder of the day.  Friday, January 7.  The galleries were cleared about half past 11 o'clock, when the house went into a committee of the whole on the president's message and the documents transmitted therewith.  Mr. Randolph's motion made on the 5th instant with closed doors, was read as follows:  Resolved, That this house receive with great sensibility the information of a disposition in certain officers of the Spanish government at New-Orleans to obstruct the navigation of the Mississippi, as secured to the United States by the most solemn stipulations:  That, adhering to that humane and wise policy which ought ever to characterize a free people, and by which the United States have always professed to be governed; willing, at the same time, to ascribe this breach of compact, to the unauthorized misconduct of certain individuals, rather than to the want of good faith on the part of his Catholic Majesty; and relying with perfect confidence on the vigilance and wisdom of the executive, they will wait the issue of such measures as that department of the government shall have pursued for asserting the rights and vindicating the injustice of the United States.—Holding it to be their duty, at the same time, to express their unalterable determination to maintain the boundaries, and the rights of navigation and commerce through the river Mississippi, as established by existing treaties.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 6.  We understand that the Executive have received authentic information, that the late suspension of the right of deposit at New-Orleans was undertaken without orders from the Spanish Government, and that the measure had been immediately communicated to the Governor of Cuba, who has a superintending authority over Louisiana; as it doubtless was to the Spanish Government. It is certain also that the Governor at New-Orleans, who has no authority over the officer from whom the suspension issued, objected to the measure. Under these circumstances and the interpositions of our own Government, it may be reasonably hoped, that the matter will be peaceably and amicably adjusted.  We understand that the president of the United States yesterday nominated to the Senate, James Monroe, as minister, extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the First Consul of France, and to the court of Madrid, in associating with our ministers to France and Spain, relative to the free navigation of the Mississippi.  Nat. Intelligencer.  Capt. Holtz of the ship Friendship, arrived at New-York on the 21st November, in the English channel, he spoke a Swedish 44 gun frigate from Barcelona, bound to Sweden, from whom he learnt that an American frigate had lately fallen in with and captured a Tripolitan frigate in the Mediterranean.

TAKE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT.  YE lassies gay in beauty's bloom All blithe and debonair, Think not too boldly I presume, In warning thus the fair.  When beauty rises to the view, The men will buzz—ne'er doubt it— This maxim mind—when they pursue— Take time to think about it.  When every flattering art they try, And praise your shape and air— Your blooming cheeks and sparkling eye— Take heed, dear girls, beware.  The honey of your rosy lip They'll strive to gain, ne'er doubt it: Yet ere you let them have a lip, Take time and think about it.  But when the constant lover woos, Endow'd with manly sense, Then listen to his tender vows, With trifling forms dispense.  He'll scorn to flatter or deceive, If worthy—ne'er doubt it; Your hand to such then freely give, Nor think too long about it.  DIVERSITY.
