be misunilerstobd; its popular and tech
nical import are the same, it must there
fore he governed by lie iul'» (hat relate
'.o similar ins nnnciitJ. Thu on'y ques
tion then remaining is whether the Helen
dams art; hound ta pay the whole amount
of the Hills declared upon, umler the cir
ciims<aiuu 5 found in the verdicts upon the
pr. sentuieiit of (he haves unaccompanied
Jiy any in 1 of of the physical destruction
of the Other halves uni produced. The
Jur\ have found that the halves not pro
duced, have been stolen hy persons tm
know’i; as the Court can intend nothing
which is not contained in the verdict, the
stolen halves must be regarded as being
in existence. Gallic part of the Defeii
dants, it is contended that the Plaintiffs
cannot recover, unless they exhibit the
notes or prove their destruction, or shew
that their negotiability has ceased, and
this appeal s to me to he a com cl present
ment es the case. If the negotiability of
the missing halves be destroy ctl, so that
the Hanks cannot twice be recurred to for
their payment, they run no risk in pay
ing their l .lal amount to the Flaintills,
it would therefore scorn unreasonable,
where the Hanks are absolved iro.n this
responsibility', that the Plaintiffs admitted
to be the bona tide owners of the Hills
before they were divided, should never
theless not be able to recover (l.cir a
mount. Hy the D. fend mis, it lias been
suit I (hut a Hank Nob* is money, that in
law ii is regarded as such, and that there
would be no more impropriety in sub
jecting a Hank to the pavmcnt of
upon the production 01 half o!‘ a Note of
(hat denomination, than in compelling it
(og'ive a dollar or .1 doubloon on the pro
duction of moities . I these coins On
the other hand, it is urged by the Plain
tiff, that a Hank II II is an aeknowie.lg
nifht'of a debt tine by the Hank to the
holder of i( 1 that in i s nature it is not
negotiable, and cannot be so rendered by*
the Hank. Both of these positions ap
pear (0 me to lie income*. It is true
that a H oik Hill is generally received as
money ; that it passes as current as mo
ney, utnt that a tender in Hank Hills, in
Ktigland, if not objected to, is a legal
tender. Hut general practice and con
v* nlence will not change (liu nature ol
tiling's. Notes of individuals are frequent
ly taken and passed away as morev, but
d w ill not he said that are so' 1 it is
' equisilc th t a tender, if demanded,
.hold.l he made in money, ami yet an oh
lection to Hank Notes is valid, far the
oily reason that limy are not money.
Money, according to its legal import, in
this country, is coined metal, current for
uiTilie amounts, hy the authority of the
government. A Hank Note is an evi-
I nice that a certain quantity of such coin
< due to the holder ot it, hut the bill and
money .lifter as imichXom each other,as
1 title does from an estate, or the power
bom the fruili a That a Hank Hill is
ah acknowledgement of a debi due to die
bolder ot it, must be admitted ; hut an
■ bligalion of tins nature is perfectly con-
Mtd. ni with negotiability, ami bank notes
are as much negotiable as any commer
cial instruments with which we are ac
quaint!*!, anil a right of property in Ju m
is as fully litmvlerreil hy a delivery, as in
a promtssoi y note, payable to order, by
an endorsement. L'piin the face of its
hill, a Dunk promises to pay the bearer a
certain sum upon demand; aceutding to
the contract: the hearer, when he asks
fer its pay ment, is bound 10 produce it
The general rule is, that a person making
a deniav', should accompany it with tin
evidence ol the debt, for the debtor has a
lignl to sec his obligation cancelled, or to
have it delivered 1.0 him when lie is call
ed upon to discharge it. This is a 1 ule
applying ti< eyeiv species of obligation,
but especially l ft a negotiable se'enfitv,
which may have legally been transferred
to another, at the very time w hen an ori
ginal payee iiiukis his demand for pay.
nr. nl. Hut to almost every general rule
tin re are exceptions; the books are full
ot cases, where a party may recover who
has lost the evidence of Ins claim, upon
due proof of its having existed, of its con
tents and of its loss; to this exception,
tin re is again an exception, that a nego
tiable instrument is not included within
it, because il it were, a debtor might be
twice obliged to discharge his debt; but
d a negotiable promissory note, not in
dorsed,has been lost, as is it then divested
et the nature of a negotiable paper, upon
the proofs before mentioned, a suit can be
maintained for its recovery; the same rule
governs if a negotiable instrument has
been destroyed: Chitty 167, 2d Campbell
21’. Does not the case before us come
w ithin tl.e reason and principle t.f these
exceptions. The bills were nee.uaauie
*hen received by the plaintiff, they have
act ot theirs been transferred. Can
.he halves which are missing be rendered
negotiable by any act of the plaintiff or of
my other person? No property in the
a.mle notes can be vested indie possessor

would hold them, with notice that the
rightto th« amount of them might be in
the proprietor of the other halves, and he
would consequently be bound by every
defence which con hi legally or equitably
be insisted upon against the finder or rob
ber, b-canse he would have accepted
them tinder such circumstance as would
necessarily set him upon am enquiry. The 1

bill in the case quite;!, and yet he would
have no right ag..itst the real owners, who
are the plaintiffs, jnd who by the verdict
of the jury, have ttver transferred their
properly/ There is a case in 3.1 Camp.
324, where the fails are similar to these
before us, in width the delerniination was
that the original bon afidc holder could
not recover. Tie ground upon which
Lord 'Kllenborough decided, is: 1 hat the
half of the note {which has been stolen
from the mail,) might have iinmcdiate'y
got into the hands of a holder for valuable
consideration, and he would have as
good a right of suit upon that, as the Plain
tiff upon the oilier half. 1 should speak
with very groa diffidence, when 1 said,
for the reasons before expressed, that it
does not seem to me that the conclusion
• ot the English Judge is warranted by his
premises, were not sustained in this judg
ment by the decision of two judges of the
Supreme Court of the flailed States,
.(published in a newspaper, and in Niles’
Register) which are in accordance \vit!i_
tlie vit ivs t have taken. 1 am, therefore,
of an opinion, that live Plaintiffs are enti
tled to recover from lbs defendants the
full amount «f the bills tluy l ave de
clared upon, together with interest
from the parit»d ot their respective de
mands.

JOIINSON Judge, delivered the opin
ion of the Court ;■ -•
Thu grounds on which this motion
rests have been so fully anfl ably consid
ered in the learned opinion of the Judge
who tried the cause, in whose conclusion
the emp t concur, that the. expression ol
that concurrence is all that is left to
the court. I will remark, however, on
the question as to the effect of culling
nr severing the Note or Dill on its nego
tiability—that the practice of cutting
.them for the purpose of transmitting
them Dy different conveyances, had iis
origin, unquestionably, in an opinion that
it destroyed its negotiability, so far,
therefore, us usage could have any in
lluence us to legal const ruction, it favors
the conclusion that a severance t,f the
n ile destroys the negotiability. Dm lam
fully salislu d that such is the legal til vet
both on authority and principle. The
morion is discharged.

PORTUGUESE OUTRAGE.
Tlie following explanation* respecting
the recent out l uge of the Portuguese at
Villa de Praya, ag-ainst the Franklin 74,
whilst getting under way to leave that
port on the 27th of March last, lias bee n
communicated to a citizen at New Bed
ford.—
“Commodore SteWa; t having the next
evening obtained the s puiies for which
be entered (ec pert Acquainted tlie Ame
rican consul {Samuel Hodges jf. Esq )
that he was about to sail, ami desired Inm
to inform his Excellency tlie Governor
General, who immediately issmrtl orders
for the ship to pass, but by tlie negli
gence of the officers charged with emit
mimical lug the older, the most distant
bat It rics vveie not apprised of his Excel
leney’s permission, and opened afire up
on tlie Franklin. His Excellency was
much alarmed fertile consequence, and
instantly sent express for- them to cease
firing; but before he reached. I‘2 of 13
guns had been discharged, and one shot
passed through her main top sail. His
Exctllency then dispatched }bc Captain
of a Portuguese 2d gun brig of war, then
in the harbor, to Com. Stewart with an a
pology. The distance of the Franklin
prevented hint from reaching in his boat,
and he n turned.
“ The American Consul being present,
and knowing that hi& Excellency was
prompt in issuing his ordets for tlie ship
to pass, wrote to Com. S. at the earnest
solicit - ion ot his Excellency, to conimu
l ulcate his humble apology, and dispatched
the harbor master with the letter, who,
after being out all night, returned without
accomplishing his object. The ship hav
ing drifted to leeward, the next morning
ois Excellency dispatched a large pin-.
mice with the Consul’s letter to Com. S.
w ho replied, he was satisfied tlie firingwas
unintentlonal on jhe part of bis Excellen
cy} but observed,dhat a shot had passed
through his ship’s main lop sail, for which
he should demand satisfaction, ami send
las boat,ashore for the purpose; but the
strong lee current prevented the ship
from gaining to windward, and the wind
increasing,'she bore away, probably to the
West indies.
“ Next morning a general order was is
sued, permitting any ship of war to leave
whenever the commander thinks proper,
cither by night or day. Thus you see a si a
glc American hue of battle ship has effect
ed what the English Naval commanders
have long desired, and who have always
humiliated themselves to praying per
mission to leave the place.
“ The officers who -.wore first charged
with communicating his Excellency’s or
der, and those commanding the batteries,
were immediately confined} but tlie Am
Consul conceiving that the latter were not
deseiving of censure, solicited and ob
tained their release; and this morning of
fered a full pardon on his part to the for
mer, when his,excellency released them
troiTi tlie weighty irons in which they were
confined.

ing, at which the Mayor presided, a com
mittee was appointed, to take id to consid

ting the ensuing Anniversary of National
Independence, consisting of twenty.nine
gentle men-, of all political persuasions; ami
among the number are the Editors of the
Weekly Register, Federal Gazette,

Washington Citt, June 22,
The Census of 1820—Wc publish to
day copies ol all the papers which have
been issued from the Department of Slide;
as instructions and Forms, necessary to
the fourth enumeratu of the inhabitants
of the United Slates, and the sevcisi .ter
ntCT.es of tlfp Union, and for tlie proper
t.ik t'g an account of Manufacturing Es
lah.ishments and Manufactures tlmough
«ut l,le country. The act cf the M-th cf
Alave.i last winch authorizes this Census,
nas been already promulgated in the Na
tional Intelligencer.
Ihe enumeration of persons every ten
years, is a constitutional i-junctmn; in
obeying whic.i, the National Ivgasiature
hasoeenheretofore contented -..ih < a
P c return °f the free white population,
W o Tie according to -go and sex,
and of the aggregates either free per
sons and of slaves, without any disenmin
alion whatever. Tins was certainly car-
Uig the constitutional provision into
effect; yet.it was n•• ing more. In the 1
year 1810, indeed, there was an attempt,
n connection witii the census of persons -
o ascertain the amount of home manufac- 1
turts; but the result was very imperfect ]
and quite unsatisfactory. 1 1 1
ihepubheareavvare. that government
has been reproaohed with inattention to '
one or more leading interests of the com- 1
nmmty. Thu reproach, not always utter- '
. in a mild or respectful manner, implies,
m itself, an improper demand. Those who
urge it, ask nothing less than that Con-.
gress should become * party, to promote '
one branch of native indus'ry, witliout
special idc rence to the riglua of other
branches' equally entitled to protection.
he National Legislature, however, can 1
be of no party. All tue interests of the ;l
whole Union may justly claim their due hl
share of consideration from the Rem-tsin. 11

Wise conclusions can only be drawn "
