PROPOSALS
BY JOUX M. SAXDERSO.y,
OF PHILADELPHIA,
For publish*ng by Subscription, a Biography
of the Signer* of the
Declaration of Independence.
BY JOHN SANDERSON.
«■ j HEN we consider the personal qua!- ,
T? ities of the statesmen who were as
associated in the Congress of the United
Slates, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration of Independence, the perilous
occasion which demanded the exercise ol
their wisdom and deliberations, and the
influence of their councils on the interests
of mankind, we must acknowledge, that
very rarely a more imposing and magnifi
cent spectacle has been exhibited to the
world; and we sVall-acck in vain, in the
annals of nations, for an event more wor
thy of commenuration, or of being cher
ished forever ii the hearts ol a grateful
& generous people. The love of indepen
dence us inlefJroven with the frame ano
constitution rs the human mind, tl is al
most the firs’ sentiment that animates the
infant's features in the cradle, andamongfl
all the actions and enterprise* of mar.
none has weakened into activity a grcatei
exertion of the rirtuous energies of his
nature, mue has excited a greater warmth
of venention, and has more imperious
claims upon our gratitude, than resistance
to tyranny and political oppression.
lii tkose republican stales which have
been tie admiration of the world, the firs'
tribute of genius was paid to the pati ir
and hero who promoted the cause ot über
ty, and maintained the independence ant
dignity of man. The animated canvas,
and the breathing marble snatched his
features from the grasp of danth, and the
historian inscribed his name and achieve*
menls in the in.* perishable records of fame.
It would indeed be so favorable presage
of the perpetuity of our republican insti
tutions, to discover an iifcensibility to the
obligations we owe to the members of the
illustrious patrons of the American free
dom. They advanced 11% by thoir mag-/
nanimity, from the inglorious state of co *
lonial subjection, and frpra the arbitrary
dominion of >a foregn pfewer, to the dis
tinguished elevation of a! sovereign and in
dependent people; thfcy assented, and
maintained the imprescrltible rightsof hu
manity, by the “mutual pledge of their
lives their fortunes, and their sacred ho-/
nor,” and as long as virtue holds her ein-t
pire in the hearts of their successors, ihe_
example of these generous benefactors
will not be lost to the world, their names,
’ will not pass away nor he forgotten, nr
their glorious deeds be confounded in the'
common and casual-transactions of life .• —
Ingratitude is a vice that in nations, as
well as individuals, indicates the last de
gree of degeneracy and corruption. It is
a vice implies the absence of every vir
tue; it was in the age of Caligula that the
name of the Scipios was prescribed and
the statute of Brutus brought death upon
its possessor.
, «• Hie glory of our ancestors is the light
•f posterity,” and the homage of the.iv
ing cannct be offered to the merits of the
illustrious dead with an ineffctual or ste
rile admiration. Great and splendid ac
tions will seldom be achieved by men who
have humble or ordinary object" in pros
’ pect. It is by contemplating the lives and
1 characters of those who are marked out
• from the multitude by their eminent qual
ities, that we become emulous of their
• virtues ami their recown. It is by read
ing the history of their renown.—lt is by
reading the history of their generous and
noble actions, that sympathetic emotions
are excited in the heart, and by a reitera
tion of such feelings, that grandeur of sen
tiisent, dignity andelevatien of character,
and.habits of virtue are generated ami
confirmed.- Lycugus clad in armour the
statutes of the gods, tv I even in their de
votions, the citizens ol Sparta might have
the images of war before their eyes; ob
serving well that the disposition of the
mind, like a limb of the body, was invigo
rated by exercise and activity. “He in
terwove,” siiys Plutarch, “ the praise of
virtue and the contemptefvice in all their
pursuits and recreation, and by these arts
they were possessed with a thirst of honor,
an enthusiasm bordering on insanity, and
had not a wish for their country.” The
trophies of Miltiadcs interrupted the
sleep of ‘Thcmisloclesj and Theses, iu.
listening to the exploits of Herculus, w»s
fired with his spirit, and became the suc
cessful rival of his fame; The unfultiyat
ed savage catches the flame of emulation
from the deeds of-fits ancestors, and hangs
his hut with the emblems of his father’s
ralor.

For Publishing by subscription, in PEN
SACOLA, the proposed seat of gov
ernment for the Floridasa
newspaper to be
called
TBB FLOSIDUUf.
THE recent acquisition of the Floridas,
has been hailed throughout the union; as
flie attainment of anaU important politi
cal desideratum. For although some ob
ject to the terms none hesitate as to the
necessity for the purchase. As yet, we
know little or nothing of the country, and
can, make but very imperfect estimates,
we have an indistinct, undefined idea of
its relative, politicial and commercial im
portance; but we are almost wholy ignor
ant of it soil and climate, we know, that
it connects 8c completes our Atlantic Sea
Board from Passamaquoddy to the Sebine;
we know that it affords several excellent
harbours; w eknow that it effectually ex
cludes foreign influence frqm the councils
of various warlike and rnisc.nevous tribes
of Indians ; but we wish further to know
what are its agricultural ad van tap; es —what
the character of its soil— its produce
wjtat the temperature and influence ol
Is climate —its Geography —its topogra
phy, is political anti natural history and
delineation.
With these views; the undersigned
propose to publish a paper at Pensacola—
whose main object will be the collection d
diffusion of the required information.
Their earliest attention and 'most assidu
ous enquiry shall he directed to these ob
■ jectsi (hey will possess advantages which
no other establishment can have.
The political.event and-changcs of the
general government, and of the Territo
ry of Florida, will meet with proper at
tention ami consideration. r
THE FLO RID I VN will be conducted on
pure American and Republican principals,
and as such, the Editors confidently re
ly on the patronage ol their lellow citi
zens.
They will commence publication imme
diately after the United Stales receive
■possession ; and no exertions on their
part shall he wauling to render their pa- ;
per useful and inti resaing.
TERMS—The Floridian will be pub

Proposals,
For publishing in Augustine, East-Florida
.1 Weekly Papery
TO BE ENTITLED
The. Florida Gazette.
It is (he glorious characteristic of the
age in which we live, that the Press not
the herald, is always the attendant upon
every revolution, having for its object the
emancipation of mind or the happiness of,
man. The Provinces of Florida having
now become a part of the territory ol the
United States, it is believed that the tide
of emigration will set rapidly towards
her shores increasing her wealth, and
filling her ports with our enterprising and
industrious fellow citizens of the old
Stales, and off ering a home and a refuge
to the exile and fugitive from the oppres
sion of European thraldom Favored bv
nature with a fruitful soil—abounding in
articles of luxury and commerce, and
blessed with a climate more congenial,to
th . constitution of the stranger and sojour
ner than the Southern slates, this section
of our Country must become great and
powerful, and in time rival Rs neighbors
in Agriculture, in Commerce anti iu Arts
With' these impressions, and under the
belief that a well conducted Press is one
ol the most powerful auxiliaries, not only
: to morality mid religion, but in promot
ing the welfare of any particular section
of country, the subscribers propose to
publish in (he City of St Augustine, a
News-paper, under the above title.
The Editors of the Gazette do not wish
to make promises, or to raise expecta
tions which may never be realized. It is
sufficient lossy that the politics of their
publications shall be American, anti their
onduct in the management shall he in
strict accordance with the maxim—
* Open to all parties —Influenced by none.
It will be the object of their industry
and labor to-render the Gazette the vehi
cle of the latest intelligence, Political,
Commercial and Literary, and no effort
will be spared to render it a pleasing, and
interesting and a valuable Publication.

Washington, .May 22, 1821 j
Since the notice given from this |
Department of the demand made by ,
the British Secretary ol State toi the ]
Department of Foreign Affairs, that, (
in the event of a decision by his Im- (
perial Majesty, the Emperor of Rus
sia favorable to the coustruction in- )
sisted upon the part ol the United
States of the first article of the Trea
ty of Ghent, the question upon which
has been submitted, by the assent ol
both parties, to his determination,
(he British government may be ap
prized of the extent of the indemni
ties claimed for the sufferers by (he
carrying away, after the exchange of
ratifications of the T.eaty of peace, of
slaves by British officers,'from vvi'hin
the jurisdiction ot the United States,
evcaualed by virtue o( the said Trca
ty of peace, numerous letters have'
been received at this Department
from persons laying claim 10 such in
demnities, and containing inquiries,
what is the nature of the evidence
which will be required, and some of
them to what cases the claim ol in
demnity is considered applicable.-—.
For the information us alt such per
sons, they are referred to theiirstar-"
tide of the Treaty of Ghent, and the
fifth article of .the Convention be
tween the United States and Great
Britain of 20th October, .*.Blß—both,
of which are hereby repuulished, as
follows:
First article of (he Treaty of Ghent. i
“ There shall be a firm and universal
peace between his Britannic Majesty and
the United Slates, and between their res
' puciive countries,territories,cities,towns,•
mid peonle of every degree, without ex
ception of places or persons. All hosti
lities, both by sea and laid, shall cease as
smn as this Treaty shall have been ra
tified by both parties, as hereinafter .men
tioned AH territory, places, and posses
sions whatsoever, taken by either party
from the otheP, during the war, or which
' may be taken after the signing of this
Treaty, excepting only the islands here
inafter mentioned, shall ibe restored with
ent delay, and without causing any des
traction, or carrying away any of the artil
lery or oilier public property originally
captured in the said form-or places, and
1 which shall remain therein upon the ex
change of the ratifications of this Treaty,
or any slaves or other private propel ty.
And all archives., -records, deeds, and pa
pers, either of a public nature or belong
ing to private persons, which, in the
course of the war, may have fallen into
; the hands of the officers of either party,
L shall be, as far as may b£ practicable,
i forthwith restored and delivered to the
; proper authorities and persons to whom
f r they respectively belong.
- Such of the Islands in the bay of Pas
; samacpioddy, ns are claimed by both par
: ties, shall remain In the possession of the
s party in whose occupation they may be a>
1 the time us Hie exchange of the ralifica
l tions of this treaty, until the decision r a
-1 pecting the title to the said islands sha ,
liave been made in conformity with the
. fourth article of this treaty. No disposition
- made oy this treaty, as to such possession
i of the islands and territories chimed by
1 both parties, shall, in any manner wlia;
I soever, be construed to affect thp righ
. of either.”
i Fifth Article of the Convention of
' 20th October, 1818.
5 “ Whereas it was agreed, by the firs
article of the *reaty of Ghent, that, —
: “all territory, places, and possessions,
whatsoever, taken by either, parly from
the other during the war, or which may
■ he taken after the signing of tins treaty,
1 expecting only the islands hereinalter
>. mentioned, shall be restored without
l> delay, and without causing any destruc
tion or carrying away any of the artilcry
1 or other public property originally cap
• tured in said forts or places, which shall
5 remain therein upon the exchange of the
r ratifications of this treaty, or any slaves or
other private property; And. whereas,
1 under the afoiesaid aiticle, the United
Staten cirim for their citizens, and
• as their private property, the restitu
' lion of or full compensation for, all
■ slaves who, at the dale of the exchange
< of tha ratifications of the said treaty
1 wherein any territory, places, or posses
1, sions, whatsoever, directed by the said
treaty to be restored to the United Slater,,
hut then still occupied by the British
forces, whatever such slaves were, at
the date aforesaid, on shore, or on ooard
- any British vessel lying in waters within
1 the territory or jurisdiction of the United
> States; And whereas differences have
arisen whether, by the true intent and
1 meaning of the aforesaid article of the
■ treaty of Client, the United States are
- entitled to the restoration or full compen
- sationfor, all or any slaves as above des
cribed, the high contracting parlies here
• by agreed to refer the said differences to
: some friendly sovereign or state, to be
1' named for that purpose, and the high con
trading parties further engage to consider
the decision of such friendly sovereign or
• state to be final and conclusive on all the
matters referred. - ”
From these stipulations it will be
perceived that the material facts to
, be ascertained, and, as far as mav be
practicable, proved by the sufferers,
will be,
1. The loss of slaves, whether by
absconding or by capture within the
United States, with the name, age,
sex, and value, of each individual
lost.
2. The fact of their being with the
Brjtish forces at the time of (he ex
change of the ratification of the trea
ty.
The nature ot the evidence should
; be vbe best of which the case will
adm it, with regard to the loss; the
oath of the sufferer taken before any
competent magistrate, and the testi
mony of one or more witnesses, if
. such thej*e be, to corroborate the facts
rttod by him. The tertimwA
disinterested persons will he B
