A few days after the Dutch consul came over from Algiers, and in formed that they were fitting out all the boats they could, for the purpose of an noying our trade, and that some of them had not more than 20 men on board.

Mr. Simfon informed him, that lie could not grant fitch favors. 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.

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.
