«* Yederday the lociety of the Cincinnati

ment at Concert-Hall, to the officers of his
Mod Cbriftian Majedy’s squadron. The tables
formed a semi-circle. At the head of the
hall was placed a full length portrait of the
President, with the real eagle pendant from
the painted button hole. On his 1 right a dis
played American enfigu. On his left a F'rench
ditto. Over his head was a dar, encircling
three fleors delis, with the motto eftoperpetua.
At the other end of the hall, the eye 1 was
caught witha fine picture of his Mod Chris
tian Majedy, with the French ensign on his
right, and the American on his left: ‘Over
his head were the arms of France, the motto
Vive Louis XVL The orchedra was co
vered with blue broad cloth, edged with white;
the thirteen stars, and thirteen fleurs delis,
formed on the ground a Very beautiful couftel
lation ; the bald eagle soared from the centre;
oppolite the eagle, on the other fide of the
room, was the arms of Massachusetts, finely
executed. The chandeliers and several parts
of the room, were ornamented With flowers,
the whole forming as happy a coup d'ceil as
fancy can imagine. The choicefl viands, the
mod delicate paltry, and exbilerating wines
crowned this fellive board : Happfnefs fat

Mr. Sm ;;, b,
I BEG leave, through the channel of your
paper, to lay before the public the follow
ing : Some time in the month of June last,
there was an affidavit of Mr. Thomas E.
Dorsey and Mr. Daniel M‘Lean lodged in the
Collector’s orfice for the port of Savannah,
refpeCtiug my conduCt in measuring of lum
ber, in which all they ailedged against me ap
. pears' from hearsay, and not froth their own
knowledge.
The affidavit below is taken by the gentle
man from whom they fay they got their in
formation, in contradiction to their aflertions,
which I think will be iufficient to the public
that I am clear of' the charge they ailedged
against me. Was it necefiary, I could get
certificates from the firft merchants and fac
tors of the town aforefaid. to convince the
public that I did every thing in my p*wer to
comply with the lumber law. But their in
tentions are obvious j they wish to monopo
lize the whole business, and have it confined
in one or two men } but I cannot agree with
the gentlemen to even have it confined in five
or fix, for at times eight are not fufficient;
and it is evident that two men cannot do the
bufinds of eight or ten. I do not with to
hurt the feelings of any gentleman, but am
bound to do myfelf justice ; I fball therefore
• fay no more on the fubjeCf, but let the pub
lic judge of the following affidavits and fafts
themselves.

On this tenth day of June, in the year of

eighty-.ntue, peifonaily appeared before me,
the fubferiber, one of the Juitices of’the Peace
for the county aforefaid, Thomas E. Dorsey
and Daniel M‘Lanc, El'quires, and made oath
on the Haly Euangelift of Almighty God, That,
on Monday the eighth inifant, they called on
Mr. John B. Ernest, Faftor for Daniel Bor
deaux, Esq. of Qiarledon, who has lately had
large quantities of lumber for sale at this port,
who informed these deponents that the mer
chants had refufed to put chafe lumber accord
ing to the mcafurement preferibed by the new
aft ; that, to induce them to purchase, he had
continued to have his lumber measured in the
old way by such peri'ons as were agreeable to
them ; and that, for the beuefit of exportation,
he had declined having his refufe marked with
the letter R. and its contents ; that Mr. Palm
er, Mr. Irvine, Mr. Sheftall, and Mr White,
had done his measuring in the manner afore
faid, and had returned their bills accordingly
and that he had fold no lumber in any other
way. And these deponents further fay, That,
from information received from Captains who
had left this port, and from sundry other per
sons, they have the strongest preemption,
and do fkmly believe, that not one vellel
which has left this port freighted with lumber
(unleffc wholly loaded with inch boards, of"
ranging timber iz by 12 and upwards) have
made their ihipments agreeably to law; and
that not the lead attention has been paid to
ftaves, lhingles, &c. mentioned in laid aft,
and that such as have been infpefted, the bu
siness has been dpne by persons not nominat
ed by the LegitlaUire, nor under auy qualifi
cation whatever. *
