is supported by the other parts Of the act.
The rehner is required to render an ac-
count quarter yearly, Of all refined fugar
which he ihall have fent out, &c. but he
is not required to furnifh an account Of the
quantity refined. Further, at the time of
rendering eachlccount, he is to pay or le-
cure the duties,which ought to be paid on
the refined fugars in the iaid account men
toned. No account is mentioned or rec
CURED by the sef but the account Of the

on he is required to make oath, &c. that
the accounts Of the quantities of refined
fugar fent ont have been juf ard tue.
No oath is required as 10 :hc quantity e

there was a time, unlefs I am greatly mil; a'
taken, in which Louiiana was luDnaf.a p, u

the rlverSt. Lawrence. The wcsero -. y
Iltory that is now claimed BY the Uoitss
States. was coded 10 Us by great Brian
and comfortable part CT it had forma,,
been ceded to Great Britain by Franc ,.
Spain, according TO the treaty Of Par.
the year 1868. Thele iaas are we'll known
but it is probable that the political maxin'
OF renovated France, have not been {,
carefully obierved.. They alIcJge, ,b.,
the chief nagiaea;e, whether he i, CALI,
King or Confj, has not, nor ever had, ,bs
rlght OF alternating BY treaty any part of
International territory. Il can hardly be =.
oellary TO pat the reader in mind Of Certain
receives OF the national aH.ably Of France
fating the inviclability of any car, n
their territory, By treaty although fons
part of the de.cribcd territory had hsea
lately conquered. From this poli,;c,l
maxim, it follows, thar the French nat;on
have a right, whenever they think fit, to
refume the whole any part Of LouiGso,
or Canada. If they faoull be d;fpoted. II
confcquence of this claim, to Attend to rbe
lakes, and afterwards to defend to The
mouth Of the river St. Lawrence, we hall
be efeaualIy lccared agsina any dangerous
extenG,a Of territory. We GaI! neither,
dig ieT FLYER among tie indolent Spani
ards, nor fhall we be permitted to feed up
on whales deih among the diminu,ive Ef
quimaux. sVFsnI fay that Louliana, in
a few years, may be expected to extend to
the lakes, ! arr GOT dealing in pure lpecu-
laiion.
The conjecture is founded on pretty goes
authority. When the American comniG-
oners, IN The year 49,; were nsgociatiDga
peace with England, one Of the great objects
was to fix Respectable boundary. France
had no claims on this continent, bu, the
Spaniih amb,Gador, then IN Paris, intereaei
hiinlelf on the fubjesf. He propofed that
line fl3auld be drawn from Cumberland
mountain, about the latitude Of s degrees,
to lake Michigan, or lake Huron. That
line, 70 far as it extended, was to be III.
louthern and weitsrn boundary ofttc Unilei
States. The line was marked with red ink
by the pen of the spaniih miniasr upon
Mi,ckels great map, Of North America; and
that very map, as | have been told by men,
Der of the old congrsts, is depodted in til:
Office Of car Secretary oe State. We are not
to be informed, that Spain on zach occa6ons is
deemed to be the echo CT France. The terri.
rory to be cut off by that regulation, WAS
deemed to be part of Loui(lana and it is no:
improbable, that it may be claimed as fuch
by the grea. Republic.

on of the act, and we ihould be plea1sd to
fee the arong reafcns of the Attorney
General, which Can de1foy their force. "
sIr is proper to mention, that II has been
ftated ia the public prints, that the rehn-
ers of fugar at Baltimore received, not
long iiaee, written information from the
Comm;Gioners-o of the Revenue of the u
niteS States, that the took of fugars, not
iept out from the fugar houfes, nor fold, on
the goth June, would be exempt from the
excite. The fnbjea feems to have under
gone fnbfequent fcruriny by the fecreta-
ry and Attorney General, and the reiult
contrary TO opinion, generally received
and acted upon, opinion encouraged and
ciTcalated by the officers of the treafury,
opinion eRablfhed and fuPported by the
bei pofible legal authority, is, as exprei-
fed in Mr.. Cox's communication 10 the re-
fners in this city. Hitherto the duties
have been demanded on the removal of the
article from the iugar hcufes. Now, at
ter the law, by virtue Of which the duties
were collected, is repealed, thoie duties are
to be exafed, upon articles which never
have been removed from the houie, nay,
further upon articles which are not yet
complete from the works of the rehner.
1t is alto to be oblerved, that this colletti-
on is now TO be made, although the rehner
and the purchafer of iugars have been led
20 fuppofe, by the treaiury officers, that
with the goth of June, the law, impohog
the duties, which have been 70 obnoxious
10 the minifterial party, would ceaie TO
opprefs. The taxes are repealed, but
contribution is generated, which impofes
tax not known TO the law ittelf, in It's full
left force and vigour. There is itrong
ground to fuppoie, from theie circumstances
that in fpise OF all boating, the govern
ment does not feel itfslt quite ready to.
jpare aNtbs taxes, or TO loo.e It's hold OF
the puries of the people. The Farmer
General will need, we think, a double
portion of the fpirit ofiophifry, to main
tain and vindicate the treafury inftruttions
in oppoftion TO the force Of opinion, that
beiets them. I
