obliged to return without cifeding his

consul at Tangiers, difpatchsd a boat to
inform commodore Morris, that he was
allowed 15 days to confider whether the
demands would be complied with or not

consul came over from Algiers, and in
formed that they were fitting out all the
boats they could, for the purpose of an

had not more than 20 men on board. The
emperor's demands were, that his velfels

PETERSBURG, Auguji 17.
The accounts from Philadelphia still
continue unfavorable—The yellow fever
continues to rage, and but little profpefl
of stopping itsprogrefs. This fever, it is
bid, has also visited the town of Portf
raouth, New-Harnpfhire, said to be in
troduced there by a veftel from Cape-
Francois. A very alarming fever rages
at Fell’s Point, Baltimore—and from the
following letter we learn, that it has vi
sited the lower part of North-Carolina.
The executive of South-Carolina, the
towns of New-York and Wilmington,
have thought proper to reftrift the inter
coirfe with Philadelphia. We know not
what, or whether any, regulations have
been adopted by the executive of this
Hate with refpefl to quarantine, but as
Norfolk is very much exposed to the in
troduction of that disease, both from the
Weft-Indies and Philadelphia, we hope,
if it (hould unfortunately be introduced
there, that the executive will flop its pro
.grefs, before it reaches City Point.
Extract of a letter from Elizabeth City,

Fellow. Citizens,
j ANOTHER plan that has been propof
j ed tor the disposal of the lands lately pur
chased of the Indians is to give it away in
equal proportion to the present citizens of
the Rate. It is undoubtedly true that if
it is to be . iven away at all it ought to
be in equal proportion to all the citizens
of the Rate who are alike entitled to it;
the vvifdom and justice of the aflembly
certainly would require and demand that
they (hould find a mode which would ex
tend the benefit alike to all. To give
out head rights to be palled from one to
another as formerly would not be ten a
cres a piece, would be doing nothing at
all, or if it was more would extend no
benefit to the poor and dilhefi'ed citizens
of the date who live remote from that land
and who cannot remove there, and is the
old road to all the frauds and fpeoulations
and perpetual confufions of titles, also to
engrofiing hundreds of thousands of acres
in the hands of an individual, which took
place in the lands on this fide of the Oco
nee. If it is given only to those who.
can move and fettle on it, the mod help
lei's widows and children in the date,
who live remote from it, and who are
mod the objeds of public compuflion
would be entirely cut off from their lhare
of it, and it would generally fall into the
hands of those who arc not the objeds of
public companion ; a plan so partial and
unjud ought not to be adopted. The on
ly jad principle, undoubtedly is, to con
fider it equally the property of every citi
zen of the date, and the only way in
which jafticc can be done upon that prin
ciple is, to fell it for its value and divide
the money among them, this might be
made to extend the benefit to all in jud
proportion; but it is worthy of enquiry
whether it would not be an expensive and
useless operation, for the very next aflem
bly Would be under the necdlity of laying
a tax. upon the people, and bring perhaps
the very fame dollars back again into the
treasury. If the land Ihould be laid off
into checkers like a board of drafts, and
hondtly fold for its value, giving easy
payments, there would be no confulion of
titles, every body diipofed to fettle there
would be able to get what they wanted,
and that on certain and fecurc titles, and
at a price not to be complained of, it
would bring not less than two million
dollars into the date treasury, and the
citizens be free from taxes for many years.
This is the plan pursued in all the old
wife dates in the union, and is the plan
adopted by the United States, with all
their own experience and that of the seve
ral dates which is familiar to them, they
have for a long time eftablilhed this as
their plan for the disposal of their lands,
as the only one that can do equal jufticc to
ail the citizens and prevent confufton ;
after long trial it has given very general
fatisfaCtion. If any one Ihould rife in
either of those old aflfemblics and ferioufiy
propose to give away all the land the
property of the public to which each ci
tizen whom they represented was equally
entitled, he would be considered as out of
his proper senses ; it would as soon be ex
pected that a motion Ihould be made to
bring out their treasury boxes, throw them
open, and divide the dollars among the
people. When a public body is in aCtual
polfelfion of public property fufficient to
save the trouble and expense of collecting a
public tax, faithfulnefs to their duty and
to the public intereil appears to require
that they (hould use the fame wisdom and
economy that they would in their own
business, and not expose the public to the
loss, delay and expence of making an un
neceflary and idle distribution of it to be
again immediately collected and brought
back into the treasury by taxes.
