DEC. 19.--—I._n the Senate. yesterday, _l‘oIr.
Reed’s resolution, corrsidered on Friday lush

In the House offlepresentatives, a message
was received frotn the President, communi-
cating a dospatch from Mr. Gallatin, which
says the National Journal, furnishes sufficient
evidtance ofthe propriety ofthe course hitlit2r-
to pursued by the governtnent ofthe United
States, in errtleavoring by llt‘gOl.l3Il()ll to ellicct
an accommodation of the drfI'erences existing
with England, in relation to their Colonial
trade. The provisions of the various acts of
Parliament have so envelopetl the whole stro-
iect in obscurity and left so many points for
-difference of opinion, that. in the absence of
an explanation by that governtneirt, it will be
impossible to understatrd what they mean, and
unsafe’ for our own to act upon any cmtst.ruc-
tron which it may suppose to he the correct
one. In the concluding paragraph of the ex-
tract from Mr. Gatlatio’s letter, he sa_y:.~r:——
it seems. to me that the intricacy’ of these
several acts of Parliament, and the difficulty
ofunderstandiug their precise meauing,migltt
’ have been considered by the governureiit ol
Gr-ear Britain as a strflicient reason, why that

poscd to aceept the conditions on which, try
these acts,ilre intercourse was opened with the
British Colontes,witlrottt having pr_evioirsly.'ril

intent and meaning. In point of fact, it was
understood by the American Goveruirierit,
that one of those conditions wassa prohibition

‘those Colonies, to any other country than the

given to the Cornurissioners who negotiated
the treaty with that tribe. The resolution of-
fered on Friday by MI‘. Mllchellr 0fS- 9- rel‘

tary for Foreign Alf.-rirs at Bogota, which we
had not before seen. _
‘- Sir—This day His Excellency sets off

were surprised at it, would be to confess that
we imagine the president capable ofthrowing
a stain on his glory and reputation: we ex-
pected no less frorri hitn. I was imposible as
we said in otrr last nunrber, for hitti to loolt
upon the gross adulation of Guayaquil and
Quito otherwise than with contempt; the lair-
girage ofservility is unworthy ofGen. Bolivar;

who, after having effected the liberty of three

sued and which, we believe, leads to the only
legitimate object of his amhition—-the welfare

0_i/cr_ and Terminer.-—’I‘lre court assembled
yesterday morning at the usttal hour, when
the District Attorney arose and announced
that he had caused a 'nolli prosequi to be en-
tered iii the case oftlie people vs. Jarnrxg T.
Talman,(late Cashier of the Morris Canal
Bank.) As a reason for this, Ire stated, that,
however important M r. T. might have been in
signing his name to the certificates to the
Morris Canal Stock, yet he was satisfied that
he had no knowledgethat a fraud was intend-
ed, nor did he afterwards participate in it.
The cases of Thomas Hyatt, and S. T.
Jackson, (President and Secretary of the U.
S. Lombard Associatiotr) were then called on
for trial. ' .
In his opening, the District Attorney was
very severe upon the parties. Among the
other things he averretl that but only ten per
cent. of a capital of3S00,000 was originally
paid in, and that within the firstyear upon the
strength of this, bonds were issued to the
amount of more than a million ofdollars. He
coticluded by observing, that of all the enor-
mous frauds that had been committed by the
broken monicd institutions in this city, this
was by far.-the worst in its clraracter.—-.r?dt).
[On the following day the case was com-
mitted to the jury by Judge Edwards about
a quarter before 9 o’cloclt. The Jury return-
ed into Court 40 minutes after ten, with a
verdict—-'I‘honias Hyatt, Guilty,J. '1‘. Jack-
son, Not Guilty.]
Dec. Q2.-—-’I‘he case ofthe People vs. Henry
B. Latnbert,Sarnuel F. Larribert,and Charles
Mowatt,of the Sun Fire Insurance Company,
was called up yesterday morning. A rriotion
was made to postpone the trihl of Henry B.
Lambert, on an affidavit of the absence of a
material witness, (."-Ir. David Hadden, who
has gone to Europe.) The motion was deni-
ed, and an application was then made to try
H. B. Lambert, separate from the other,
which was granted, but subsequently refused.
While swearing in the jury, Mr Griffin, on
betialfof Mr. S. F. Lambert, stated, that be-
ing satisfied that the circumstances ofhrs ch
ent’s case, though not constituting any moral
crime, were such as rendered him in the eye
o, the law, guilty. .Mr. L’s. counsel had ad
vised him to withdraW_ his plea of not guilty
and to plead guilty, whrclr he accordingly did;
ma; 3. me proper time, he should lay before

of his client had been pure and lroneutable,

London, the effect of which will be to settle
the difference between the American and Bri-
tish Government under the Treaty of Ghent-,.
by which the execution of the provision, lor

hitherto for some time delayed. This infor-

Fort Tm: GAZETTE.
The subject to whiclrti.-e. attetrtion of the
public is called at this time is manifestly of
great interest. It basin view the suppression
of critnes, and the giving additional secu-
rity to our penal laws. It is one‘ofthe pecul-
iar benefits rosult‘.ng from popular govern-
ments, that the people at all times have it in
their power to correct evils that are known-to
exist ; and while we possess this high and im-
‘ -"taut prerogative—while we have all neces-
sity power to improve otrr condition. and
protntior our iu?er9~ts«—let usinquire whether
there is not a duty nnjoined upon us that we
have not fulfilled. It is admitted that we have
laws for the suppression ofcrinre, but we must
at the saiuetitrie admit that some ofthem are
rieglectcd and seldom exeeitred. It is proper
for us to inquire into the cause of this retiri_ss-
ness, and if possible present a remedy. We
often hear it asked why it istltat breaches of
ttiepeace,~and petty thefts, are permitted to
pass unnoticed? why idlers and beggars are
allowed to roam about our towns rvirlmnr any
useful employment ? That such is the fact
our daily observatiorr incontt=st.ibl_v proves.—--
Idleness is the fruitful nursery of crime, and
always produces poverty ; consequently those
who commit petty offerices,ifarrested for their
ll)lS(lt',’f?!f§, have not the means of paying the
torfuitrrre annexed to our penal statutes.-
Wlrenany oftlre above description of per-
sotisare finetl by the civilvrriagrstrates, ifthey
neglect or refuseto pay the saute, they are
their thrown into gaol, and there lie at the ex-
pense of the towir in which the crime was
comrnittr-d. The inhabitants of that town
must stiffer in a two-fold sense; for, in the
first place, their rights are invaded, and that
without airy means of redress; and in the
nuxt. they must be taxed to maintain the
criminal in coulineineiit, anil pay the cost of
prosecution. The crirninal'experiences very
little inconvenience frottr the execution ofthe
law. for a living, without labour. is the only
object he hits in view, and this is effected by
his being arrested for his criminality. He
quietly lounges away his time in gaol, and
‘feels gratified that he lives at the expense of
those whose peace he has broken, or whose
property he has taken. So iong as this prac-
tice exists it will he very difficult to cause our
laws to be etiforced. The oflicers sworn for
that purpose find a ready excuse, by say-
ing that the town will be subjected to expense,
and that the public voice will be raised against
them. Self interest exerts its energies to
screen the crirrritial, and obtain his acquittal.
Inow ask, has not our own observation pro-
ved the truth of these remarks? and, iftrue,
ought we notto apply a remedy ?
As the population of our country increases
crimes will also increase, and if we continue-
to neglect their puoislrrneut vice wlll ultimate-
ly trtttmplr over virtue, aird a state of barba.
rrsrn predominate. How can our large cities
exist without a vigilant police ? and how can
otrr natural rights be secure, unless our civil
institutions protect them ? and when they
cease to do this all that is valuable, all that we
hold dear, will be forever gone.
Our statute now authorizes towns to build
work-houses; bttt there is no law compelling
either towns or counties to do it; and there
are but few in the state, and none in Fairficld
County. The statute empowers the Magis-
trate in certain cases to sentence criminals to
the work house; but this salutary mode of
punishment cannever be resorted to in our
courrty,so long as we neglect to establish one.
Nothing is more just than that criiniuals
should be compelled to make restitution for
damages done by them, and when destitute of
money labour ought. to be made a substitute;
but in order for this a work house must be e-
recterl where criminals can be confined.-
There is no one town in our county of sufii
cient magnitude, or that has the means, to
btiild and tnaintain an institution of this kind.
But our county is one of the most wealthy and.
populous in the state, and could, nniteclly, e
:-
a great share of attention, and promises to be‘ r
Trectan establishment of this description with
trifling expense, compared with its value and ,
importance. The city of I-Iart‘_foi'd has tésterl
its utility, and found that there is nothing so
much dreaded by these depredators, as labour
connected with confinement. Pirnishmeni
’"!9,ltt always to be definite and certain, and
when it is so it will prove salutary, if consist-
cut with justice and humanity. It is barba
runs and cruel punishments that brutalize and
degr‘aile human nature. But it is doubtful
whether that may be called punishment which
compe_ls the criminal, either by labour or -otlr-
erwise, to make restitution for the injuries he
iuflicts; but be that as it may, it is certainly
consistent with justice and good policy.
The statute also authorizes the magistrate
to commit to the worlthouse common prosti-
tutes and persons who rnispend their tirne,and
neglect to provide for their families; but tlrcv
cannot in our county carry -into effect this
provision ofour law, and yet there are persons
0f.llii.s desct'ipti0n in almost all our t0wus,who
become sooner or later burdensome to the
public. Their evil example is almost incal~
culable. How many there are who are led
intotlie patlrof vice by their influence it is
difficult to ascertain. But so far as their in-
fluence does extend we must know that it is
pernicious. We well know that our Select
men are compelled to provide for tne poor-
intlreir respective towns, and are liable to a
fine for. neglect. And I ask them ifthey have
not been called to leave their o'wn business,
and go abroad and labour themselves for these
idlers who have left their families sick and
destitute, and are spending their time min-
temperance'and vice. Ought this so to be ?
Ought the benevolence of our laws in any
manner to encourage vice? I answer no;
but unless we can compel these persons to la-
bour for their own support, and that of their
families, they in effect do this; They tell the
abandoned of every class to indulge their vi-
cious propeusities, and when brought to wtmt
andrnin they will guarantee thetn a support
from the public. It is ‘our "duty to guard a-
gainst such a state of things; but I fear that
unless there is a statuatory provision com-
pelling counties to build‘ workhouses, that it
will‘ never be accomplished; It is doubtful
whether all our towns would ‘voluntarily unite
in this object. Indifference in some, and self
interest in others. will always be impediments
in the way. It is extremely difficult to bring
about concert of action among so many in-
dependent bodies. But as it respects the in-
terests ofour towns, [ apprehend [ha[ 3 work-
house will be an economical institution ; for,’
if it should not support itself, it certainly will
exonerate the towns" froiivsoine expense ; and
we may as well pay a trifling tax for its sup-
port as to maintain the occupants of it in idle-
ness at hotne. But the expense, in my opin-
ion, ought not to form any solid objection
against it. Every branch ofour government
should say/‘that because it is so, we will aban-
don it. Could we live and retain our rights?
Surely not. So nvither can we effectually
execute our laws, (which are necessary for
the due administration of jt_tstice,.and the
maintenance of some classes of our p.o3r,)
without a worlthouse.
The subject is brought beforetlte public
jections can be made they will be heard with
candour. Ifthere are none. then let our eff-.rrts
be courbiried, and our energies exerted, to ac-
complislr the object. MILO‘.

Mr.Ea'ilor--I notice in one ofyotir numbers
some critical remarks on a piece which ap
paamrl in a former tiutnber on the subject of
assessmetrt of faculty. I did not perceive any
thing in the former piece which appeared like
personality, nor do! believe there was any
stmlt meant. Be that as it may; this critic
seems to have. run into the same error he so
much complains of. He would exempt all
the property of a merchant because it is liable
to fall on his hands, get damaged, or trusted
otrt. Icannot subscribe to such doctrine. If
a man- has got money he has a right to buy
what he pleases, "and ought to contribute ac-.
cording to his wealth, whether in real or per-
sonal estate. To assess a man merely for the
faculty of gaining a livelihood for his family
by a mechanical or any other art I contcndis
downright oppression, and ought never to be
practiced. llflren a person has gained a prop-
erty. either by his own industry (no matter
what kind ofbusiness, iflrotiest‘) or by inher-
itance, it is. then and not tlll thenitlrat he ought
to be assessed for any thing buta poll-—-and
that is bad enough
I presume' Mr. Editor, your critical gentle-
man is a merchant, and the only one, I think.
who has penetrated so deep into the composi-
.tion of the former piece as to discover any
hearing it could have had on the interests of
mercliauts more than what is just. “ What
wise legislator(he asks) would make an ex
tote of energy, at the end often years we find
them where they set out; and impose the bur
den upon those who enter into mercantile bu
siness and push forward with uritiring and suc-
cessful enterprize, and at the end ofthe same
term we may look for them among the most
respectable 3!. influential members ofthe com-
niutrity.” Really, Mr. Editor, I see no great
difiiculty in solving this question, but I leave
it to the reader to determine.
But his concluding clause is the master
piece. “ So long (says he) as men are selfish.
depend upon it, Mr Editor, the suggestion of
your correspondent cannot be carried iirto el-
fect, and therefore ought never to beadopted.”
These are very strong reasons,'I confess, Mr
Editor; but I should not wonder ifa wise le
gislator should require some strengthening
plasters to such reasoning before they were.
