cur, or at leaf To- nov the intic nation which
we feel at the unworthy policy of Carolina !!
Let us pats the iautary law which was propo-
fed but rejected during the laIt (. Zion of the al.
iembly, and exclude every llave whatever from
the commonwealth, whether he faall be ac-
quiredin any other ftate by d;sut, marriage or
devjfS, or whether he fhal belong to citizen
of any other ;tate, who may with to remove in.
to our own.
IT gives us p!eafire to difcover, that in the
celebrated case of GRENVfLI.E's heirs againlt
the proprietors of land in North Carolina,
Judge Marihal had modefty cnonrh 20 with
draw himfclf from the dsciGan. when at the
lift fpring term of the Circuit Court, it was
decided by Judges Marlnail and Potter. that
jnry ihou'd be discharged from further conf
deratIon ut the caufe, and that it fhould be re-
trred TO the deciion of the bench, the i,nprcf
hon upon the people Of that Fate was not to be
miftaken. They exprelIed their apprehension
that Mr., Marfhall in giving that deciiion had
been m'lled by his ancient Drepo1efIions that
the man who had derived fnch comfortable adj
yantages from the claims of Lord Fairfax in
Virginia, had experienced and INDUCED fome
iecret affection for the representatives of Earl
Grenvle: and that for the purpofe of indulg-
ing this propenfity, he had been anxious to
withdraw the casfe from the confederation of
jury. who would have rendered an impartial
and independent verdict, and refer il to Judge,
whole opinion was already formed, and " hole
trctet partialities were f. ftropglv fufpetted.
How tar thefe ftri6tures may have come to the
knowledge of Judge Marihall how far they
may excited his approximations about the exit.
tence OF periihable popularity how far they
may recalled his mind to a calm review of the
proprety of his interfering we have no ade-
quate means of discovering. It is certainly for
tunate for him and conducive to the ends of
Ijutticc that he has declined giving any opinion,
and that the cafe of the landholders is once
more :arly brought before a jury of their peers.
I'hsie men have now every reafon to hope for
an impartial aud independent verdict; and
though their decifion ihoud not be ftrietly con-
forinable TO the behefs ofjuftice, it ~ill more
readily obtain the acquiettence of the people.

Our little squadron, consisting Of the
john Adams aud three gun, boats. will sail
for the Mediterranean on Saturday should
the weather permit. 1t gives us pleasure
TO be able TO state, that the apartments
which have been tried With the i,an-boats
prove that they are safe and comfortable
sea boats; and in all probability w,ll be
adequate to the objects in view in sesding
them to the Mediterranean. The Boats
which accompany the Joha Adams were
originally rugged with one mast, placed d.
rectly midships. The appearance was no.
vel, and, added 20 the general structure
of the beats, created we'll founded doubts
about their utility; their safety was even
called in question. In navigating enc of
,ie boats to the Hook, it was found that
she sailed very well; But, hauled upon a
wind, she carried SO strong weather helm
tha, it was impossible to wear Der. To re-
mSdy this defect the niasts of Nos. 6 and
were immediately stepped ten feet fur.
,h=r forward and, tits believed, thae they
Will now work as easy as any vessel N port.
Lieutenant Maxwell, in bringing No. 6
from Philad ,lphla, experienced the same
defect; accordingly her mast was yestsr.
