Mr. Foreman, and Gentlemen of the
Grand Inquest,
l commence the exercise of those
judicial functions, with which the
Legislature have been pleased to
clothe me, in the midst of a portion
of my fellow-citizens, with many of
whom it has been my happiness to
be long and intimately acquainted.
I commence them too in the imme
diate vicinage of a spot, which is en
deared to me by the recollection,
that, under the auspices of a highly
valued preceptor, the volume of ju
risprudence was there first opened
to my youthful view. And I enter
upon the discharge of the duties at
tached to the judicial office with e-
motions of the liveliest gratitude, for
the very flattering testimony of pub
lic confidence which has been offer
ed me, and, at the same time, with
all that fearful apprehfension which
is irresistibly excited by the contem
plation of the awful magnitude of
those duties, and of my inadequacy
to their performance. But I am not
entirely divested of sources of rich
and cheering consolation. I have
abandoned a profession which Ilove;
and have consented to turn aside
from the pursuit of its emoluments,
and its honors, in obedience to what •
I have been taught to believe, to be
the wish of that district, in which I
have been called to preside. Nor have
I been wholly uninfluenced by the
conviction, that the liberality of my
brethren at the bar, would prompt
them to receive, in the spirit in
which they were tendered, the hum
ble services, of which I have thus
made an offering to nay country.
But I have need, gentlemen, of
all the aid which can be derived
from recollected friendship, from the
cheering consciousness of pure and
blameless motives, and from the anti
cipated liberality of my friends and
brothers of the profession, to support
and uphold me, amid the arduous
duties which devolve upon me. And
I desire, in an especial manner, to
mark this, the first act of iny judici
al life, by the declaration of my un
feigned conviction, that without the
smiles ot Providence, my best servi
ces must fall infinitely short of the
just expectations of my countrymen ;
and, thus convicted, to turn with
sincere humility, and vet with that
confidence which is its genuine cha
racteristic, to the Supreme Judge of
the Universe, without whose protect
ing favor, the efforts of the greatest
luminaries of jurisprudence, would.
have been vain and I'riiitless ; and
cheered by whose approving smiles,
even I, may be enabled “ to admi
nister justice, without respect to per
sons, doing equal right to the poor
and to the rich, and faithfully and
impartially to discharge and perform
all and singular the duties winch de
volve upon me.”
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury....
The two fold relation, in which, un
der our system of jurisprudence, you
stand to this court, and the duties
which consequently attach to your
distinct and separate capacities of
grand and special jurors, have been
so frequently explained from this
bench, and must be so familiar to
your minds,from the constantly re
curring claims, which, from the
smallness of your county, are made
upon yourselves, as to render a de
tail of them, at this time, wholly su
perfluous. And if at any moment I
were disposed to give to a grand in
quest, the great outline of its duties,
I do not know that I could adopt a-
ny means more effectual for this pur
pose, than to refer them to the terms
of that obligation, by which you have
solemnly and publicly bound your
selves, in the presence of each other.
I am wholly unacquainted with
the state of your criminal dock
et ; but if in the recess of this court,
any matter of diis description has oc-
cured, the solicitor-general, in the
discharge of his appropriate duties
will prepare and submit it to your
consideration. And should you be
called to the exercise of your powers,
as special jurors, in the trial of ap
peal causes, it will be the duty ot this
court, as the several cases may occur
to give to you the aid of its counsel in
the formation of your determmati- 1
ons. In the discharge of this, as well
as every other duty which devolves
upon me, I feel that you ill look in
vain for that ripened wisdom, which
should characterize the administra
tor of public justice ; but I feel
too that I can at least bring to the
service of my couutrymen, a heart
sincerely devoted to their interest,
and unaffected by any emotions ot
partiality or of resentment, who
would array themselves in opposition
to the solemn and emphatic injunc
tions of that oath by which I have
bound myself to God and my coun
ty*
And now, gentleman, having brief
ly exposed to your view, the feelings
which have influenced, and the mo
tives which have governed me in as
cending this bench, let us proceed
to the discharge of the duties, res
pectively assigned to us. In the per
formance of your’s, while at this mo
ment I aseure you of the cordial
co-operation of the court, I antici
pate for you, in the sequel, the ap
probation of j our own consciences
and the thanks of your fellow citi
zens. In entering upon the discharge
of those which are appropriately
mine, I commit myself, and whatever
of fair and honest fame I may have
justly acquired, in the humble sphere
in which it has hitherto been my lot
to move, to the candor, liberality,
and justice of my country.
THE l.A TE XEiVS.
We Have letters of the 26th Au
gust from I’aris, and the 4th of Sep
tember from Bordeaux—later advi
ces appear to have been received by
other papers, but we do not discover
in them anything more important,
nor so authentic, as the advices in our
possession.
We apprehend the report in some
of the papers concerning the appoint
ment of Alexander M’Rae, Esq. to
the consulate at Paris, is not correct;
Mr. M‘Kae went to Europe on the
concerns of an important estabablish-
ment of the arts, by a company form
ed at Richmond, Vir. of which Mr.
M,Uae is a member.
The little Emperor of Washita
was 3trl1 at Paris, almost literally rak
ing the kennels.—An anecdote of
his history will correct some of the
amusing articles which we receive
fr6m time to time from the British
prints.
Burr had so far succeeded in a pro
ject, which he either brought with
him from England, or tried to fabri
cate at Paris, as to find access to the
Minister of Police, Fouche, (Duke
of Otranto.) The project submitted
by Burr to Fouche, was that a trea
ty offensive and defensive should
form the basis of an immediate peace
between France and Great Britain,
and that they would between them
give law to the world ; particular
dispositions concerning the U. States
and South America were embraced
in the plan ; the U. States were to
be formed into three distinct provin
ces, of which all the territory north
and east of the Hudson was to be
one subject to the .appointment of a
Stadtholder by Great Britain.
l'he territory between Hudson and
the Potomac was to be a neutral state,
with power to establish its own go.
vernment, With consent of the high
contracting parties. The territory
south and west of Potomac was to be
placed on the satiric footing in relati
on to France, that the country east
of Hudson, was to stand in with re.
garil to Great-Britain. [That is w e
suppose, with a viceroy over them.!
Various ether details are noted.
But it appears that during the
tour of the French Emperor lo the
coast with the Empress, the Minis
ter of Police, Fouche, actually'con-
trived to open an indirect communi
cation with the British government
upon the subject.
When the Emperor returned from
Antwerp, he (jrst/li^covered the tran
saction the consequence of which was
the disgrace of Fouche, and his be
ing compelled to retire to Italy ? Ou-
verard, another agent in the intrigue,
was committed to prison ; and Burr
was placed under the superintendance
of the police as a British Spy.
The Commercial operation of the
decrees ot Berlin, Milan and Ram-
boullct, has entiiely ceased. The
political operation will hang over un
til the period at which their termina
tion is marked, in relation to Great-
Britnin that is the 1st of November,
But American vessels enter and clear
! out as before ; the only difference
I that has taken place is in the encrease
of duties, greater strictness in the of
ficers of the Douan sequestered pro
perty, unless where there is actual
or prima facie evidence of being Bri
tish, will be restored. But no part
of the French system may lie ex
pected to be relaxed towards British
products ; no manufactures will lie
admitted on any terms—and, wher
ever produce finds access under li
cence, it will pay an enormous tax
to Fiance, such as can render no co
lonial speculations to France produc
tive to original producers.
There are certain ports to be desig
nated, through which particular ar
ticles will be allowed to pass un
der such regulations, but the en
trance of persons or goods from En
gland will subject the former to im
prisonment, the latter to confiscation.
The Journal de L’Einpire and
Moniteur of Paris, contain some cor
respondence of Gen. Armstrong with
the duke of Cadore, which we have
not at present time to translate.—Au

Messrs. Editor*—-Having request
ed the Spanish Shepherd, whilst he
staid in this town, to favor me in
writing with all he knew and coulcl
recollect respecting the nature and
management of the Merino S',u p,
with a view to render it public for 'he
good of the cpftntfiy, I have received
a really pastoral communication on
the subject, which having ».n>ivd,itrd
literally, t presume you will, from
patriotic motives, readily give it a
place in your paper. B.
Chelsea, 13th feet.* 1810k
Sir.—Experience is very necessary
and advantageous for the government
and attendance of the Merino Sheep
that have been brought into tiiis coun
ty from 'he kingdom of Spain.
1st. The dry * st pastures and grass
that can he found should be given
them, guarding them from clgmp and
wet places.
2d. When the weather »» fair «ml
clear they should not be turned out*
until the dew is perfectly tUy.
3d. They should be kept with great
care from every standing or stagnant
water, that has no current, and soap
suds are very pernicious to them.
4th. 'They should be carefully guard
ed from thunder and hail storms,
they should not graze nor dr nlt
of the water, waiting till the r un
and hail moisture has disappeared,
for this is very injurious to said sheep.
The salt should be given them in the
morning and in the evening keeping
them from drinking till three or four
hours after ; the salt in tilts county
being different front that used in
Spam should lie given sparingly
till they are used to it ; there it is 6f
a red cdlor and from a pit, and here
it is white, which is not so beneficial
for tr:;: feeble sheep.
5th. This kind of sheep is very
subject to have the scab, and it of
ten makes its appearance from night
to morning, and reqires constant at
tention to cure it—The best remedy
is juniper oil ; a decoction of black
tobacco ltaf is also good ; but when
the latter is used it is necessary that
the Weather should be dry, for if it
should rain it would spread the more.
The fourth part of a pound of tobac
co, should be put in a kettle with
ten or twelve pints of water, ami af
ter it shall have been boiled, tin scab
must be well rubbed with it in a Iike-
vvarm, and not hot state, otherwise
the wool would be injured.
6th. For the disorder called has-
qtttUa, (disease in sheep arising from
a plenitude of blood) bleeding in die
belly, on the fore part of the dug
in a vein which they have there, is
good.
7th. If any shotfti swell in their
belly, they should be bled under the
corner of the left eye.
8tn. For die disease of the spleen
they should be pricked with aft awl
in the spleen, which is foundry leav
ing three ribs behind and four fin
gers below the back hone. This dis
order of the splccu is very injurious
as for instance, it a sheep should die
city of its inhabitants—-on the pufdlani- . wiih it lhat wear s a small bell, and
niity and indeterminate flute of it* guv.
eminent—.and reflect on its preterit date
that, notwithlfanding we have combat
ted not only all theie eternul entbarrafT -
meets, but the hatred and jealousy cf
external power, our nation has become
rich in rrfourxcs, its inhabitant* more
than uguble, and that we are the only na-
tltis should afterwards he put on ano
ther, it will also die ; these three dis
orders proceed front too great an a-
bundance of clear fresh grass ; shep
herds should be particularly atten
tive on this point.
yth. Tne iie
