VIDE all respectable men, but, as was to
be Expected, profefed friends Of adminiftra-
tion) OBJECTED to himfelf, becaufe he had
given a very decided opinion on the guilt
of the author oftthe book from which the
charges were extracted the Judge told
him unlefs he had given an opinion on. the
indictment itfelf he could not be executed.
The indictment is never read to the jury
till they are fworn, and the objection was
overruled, and the gentleman was fworn.
The gentleman from S. Carolina had
julti6sd the Judge by the nature of the
charge; he had faid it was for a publica-
ton 70 monfrous that nobody could OPEN
ly c%ountenance it, and that the circulate
OH had been @fecret, the book pading only
from pocket to pocket, MIR. N. faid he
knew little Of the book, having never read
o. pofieGed it: he did not know how to
reconcile the Ecrecy the gentleman had
fpoken Of with a fact mentioned by him
fell, that it was avowed and prided in by
the author; he did not know how to re-
%concile it with another notorious fact that
it was advertifed for fale.in feveral papers.
Mr.. N. faid that his intention in noticing
this obfsrvation of the gentleman was TO
remark a very dangerous tendency in it !:
it was, that the nature Of the charge can
properly difpenfe with the formality of
trial /: it leaves a mipicion that the perion
accufed was condemned before he was tri-
ed ; it would be impoGibIe t fix a great
er fain on the conduct of the Judge.
AS to the public opinion on this law,
MIR. N. believed the gentleman had not
etimated it correctly !; the elections viii h,
he coniiaers as deciding it, it mutt be re-
collected happened in 1895, at time when
the public ,nsnd was under the influence Of
the alarm excited on the fubjeA ofwar ; it
had at that time apparently tolerated this
meaflre as one of what was called a fynem
Q obedience !; but if gentlemen will bring
their enquiries a little lower down to the e.
Lotions, which have happened in calmer
moments, and when that iy1tem fill con-
tinued to engrofs public attention, they
will find the mott decided condemnation.
The gentleman declares he wifhes for
this law, as fhield againft the vindiceive
tempers of his opponents ; the rigors
which they may inAiet by means of the com
mon law.
Mr.. N. fuppofed that it could not feri-
ouily be believed that perfons who had
uniformly condemned the ufe of a power,
would themfelves refort to it-ielf-refpeH
would forbid it, if principles Rejecting
the contribution do not. IF gentlemen
are not, however, fatis6ed with thefe
pledges, they may be with another. The
bad fuccefs Of this expedient for supporting
government, had been 70 fully proved by
their experiment, that common prudence
will prevent its adoption.
MIR. N. faid it was at all times unplea-
iant to make p~erfonal companions; it was
fortunately unneceaary on the prefent &C.

felf, and the initruments of Its execution.
In a cafe where the PRECEDENT is a party in
terefed, where his character and COME
quence are depending, can it be believed
that an individual can expect jufice. You
are told of the independence Of your
judges, and the character of your %juries.
Are thefe defences fuficient for the fecuri-
ty of the individual ? May not the judges
owe their appointment to the very pref
dent who is prolccutor May they not
have been chofen for that party fpirit which
we continually fee difcolorevery thing OPP
pofed t it May they not have motives
efficient to induce them to crafty his pat
lionss Do we not know that in their own
department. there are grades which bcHow
new honor and additional profit? And do
we not fee other Offices held up to their
ambition, by the practice of employing the
judges abroad while they retain their Off
ces at home. When we come to enquire
into facts, what do we difcover but thar our
judges are like other men, deeply engaged
in the prevailing politics of the country,
and the mott active paftizans in all the
ifruggles whichgrow out of them.
What can be expected from the other
important branch of your tribunals, the
juries-In mott of our hates they are fe-
le6ted by the martial, who is the abfolute
dependent of the PRECEDENT, holding his Of
fee at his mere will ard pleafu~e.
Gentlemen will FAY that this would def
troy the confidence universally repofed in
the administration of juGice, ard will at
tempt to repel the fufpicion, by the fairnefs
Of character in ordinary cafes; but this
cannot avail them. In other cafes, with
very few excepted, they may be wholly
impartial. In ordinary criminal cafes,
where the PRECEDENT is p~rofecutor, the pro-
f%ecution is in behalf of the people at large,
and there is no in%ducement to punifh but
where there is guilt ; very different is the
profecution for libels, where the accufation
grows not merely out of the ast itfelf, but
where a aanding uniform hoRility will be
always found to exit. The judges and
Jurors may be competent to all the great
and neceIary functions of a court, with
out being equal to a talk which requires
them to divea themfelves of deep rooted
pafions.
MIR. N. faid, that although he did not

he could not acquiefce in the appreciation
exprened of the conduct of the Judge who
tried the Richmond cafe. He was not
there himfelf, but he had heard an account
Of it, in which he could con6de, which
had excited his aRonifhment-this impref.

ANSWER OF THE SENATE TO II Go.
~vERNos's SPEECH.
May it bAeaI yoar EeceAency,
THE Senate of Mahachufetts receive
with great ftisfattion your excellency's
addrefs to bosh houfes Of the Legislature,
We confder it as aford.ng new proof, not
only of The wifdom, but Of the purity Of
intention by which you are governed.
We have abundant caufe of gratitude
for the general health and uncommon prof.
perity enjoyed by our fellow citizens hro'.i
out the Commonwealth. We hall cheer
fully contribute our vigilant and faithful
%endeavors, to preferve their prefent adyan-
tages, and promote their laaing reputation
and intereh t check the alarming growth
of vice and impiety; to cherifh the infitu-
lions FIR moral inisruetion, and the educa-
ton of youth, and TO maintain the princi-
pies of %juiice, and provide for its equal
administration in every part of the Com.
monwealth.
AS the happincis of the great body of
the people ofthe United States, is infepe-
rably connected with the welfare and prof
perity of the community, itneeds only that
they be correctly informed, to remove
%groundlefs prejudices, and to extinguih
the ipirit of party and undue attachment
to any foreign country /; and to induces
confftency and uniformity of national cha
rader.
The conduct of the government Of the
United States towards the nations of En-
rope, has been uniformly marked with rec
titude and moderation. And the wifdom
of thofe meafures Of maratmie defence,
which the injufice and jealoufy ofthe con-
tending nations, have compelled US to re.
fort to, is verified in their effects, which
have not only fulfilled the expectations OF
the mott fanguine, but mutt alto have Gre
ated a general confidence in the fyfen
which has been 70 happily fuccefsful.
We have equal caufe of mutual fellclta-
ton for the fecurity which the federal Co
vernment has hitherto afforded to our III.
ternal tranquility ; a bIefing which had
the old confederation continued, we coua
hardly have hoped for, at this eventfu'
criis.
And as we have fill a confidence in the
holy oracles Of our religion, and therefor
believe, that a tree may be known by
fruit, 70 we think no honeR man can pro.
ounce that form of government to be 'Daa

Al TACK ON BOULOGNE.
D0ver, Ibayla.y, 1, PM.
You ak me for the particulars of the
attack made ON the encmy's ihips at Dou-
logne, on Tuelday. ] perceive your
newspapers are very inaccurate. On the
following account you may rely, as was
an eye witnefs:
On Saturday Lord Mellon failed from
Deal, and the fame evening took the com
mand of the iquadron OF fnall ihips OF
war cruifing off Bouiogne, under the COM
mand of capt. Somerville, of the Eugenia.
HIS Lordfhip ordered ali fhips to join, land
ieversl did on Sunday, till at lait they a.
mounted to thirty -ieven fail, including
gun-boats, brigs. sc. His Lordhip
brought them ali up before Boulogne, land
made a iignal for them to divide into two
feparate iquadrons one fquadron TO be
TO windward.
On Monday lord Mellon food clofe In
to Boulogne with fome of the bomb vef-
fels, and threw ieveral bombs to try how
they would reach the enemy. Finding
they reached the fhore, he made fgnal of
recall, and they anchored about four miles
from the land.
The. fhore at Bonlogne Aretches nearly
eat and wet. Towards the ealt point
OF land runs OUT, forming a bay. The
mouth of the harbor is in the middle of
this, and looks out to the north. The
enemy's vefels, conhfing OF fix briggs,
two fchooners, and about 20 or go gun
boats, were arranged in line along the
beach, nor half mile from fhore, one half
ea2, but the Target half welt of the har-
bour's mouth, in front of which was the
largea brig. On the beach welt of the
harbour, was itrong battery, which kept
up heavy fire. The battery on the pier
head, eaa of the harbor, did not fire much,
and tried fhell now and then.
On Monday night lord Mellon went
under cover of the dark, in four cared
gig, long fwift boat, and. reconnoitred
the enemy's petition, and found il as above
defcrlbed. He then iffued orders TO begin
the attack at break of day next morning.
At 4 O'Clock, he hinfelf Aationed the
bombs, five in number, in an oblique line,
iretching from the welt end of the enemy's
iine. They came to anchor, and began
throwing bombs about five O'Clock the
other ihips of war being fationed under
weigh, In another line, behind the bombs,
ready to render aflifance. His Lordfhip's
own flag was placed 10 front of the har-
Dor, having our two lines, one of bombs,
another of fmall fhips of war, Aretching
from his right behind thefc lines was the
Leyden, of 81 guns. His Lordhip's H.
tention was to attack the encmy's Venels
with bombs only, as they reach much far
Their than fhot, and would prove efeGfaal,
while the enemy'S fhot could not reach us.
At fix O'Clock, however, it being then
high water, Lord Mellon, defrous OF con-
vincing the enemy what heavy FIRE he
could play upon them, and at the fame time
10 induce them to difclofe their Rrongef
points, it being difficult to difcover their
batteries, the cliffs being of brown clay,
TENT our fhips of war very cloie to the
ihore in face of the batteries, where they
1rit fred one broadfde, and, tacking
round, fired the other then falling away
loaded for another luch attack.

Lord Mellon has reaion TO be very
much iatished with the captains Of the
bombs, for their placing of the veGels it
was impofibe that they could have been
better Gtua,ed, and the artillery officers
have fhewn great Kill in entirely difa-
bling ten OF the armed venels out of
twenty four oppoled TO them, and many
Others Lord Melton believes are much da
mayed. The commander in chief cannot
avoid noticing the great zeal and defre to
attack the enemy In cloier and different
combat, which manifefed itielf in ali
ranks of perlons, and which Lord Nelfon
world gladly have given full fcope to,
had the attempt at this moment been pro-
per /; but The officers and others may rely,
that an early opportunity ihall be given
them for ihewing their judgment, zeal
and bravery. The hirelt and revenue cut
tiers kept under fail, and performed the
duty intrufted to them with a great deal
of ikil.
