November 28 *2t 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 rora. RAPID RISE OF PROPERTY. The Utica paper (N Y.) lays that a fpot of land in that village, at the cor ner of two flreeta. was fold at the rate ot three hundred thoufand dollars an a ere which might have been purchaled twenty five years fince, for one dollar an acre t his village is iituated on the Mohawk one hundred miles from Albany, on the feite of old fort Sohuyler. and is the centre of bufmefs in the weltern part of N. York. In 17q4, there were only two houfes now in the compM'a of one mile there are probably a,j000 inhabi rants. When we look back on what our CQun- try was at the clofe »f our revolution— on its poverty in refources, and the pau tion v on eartlrei.joymg the blefliftgt of freedom-—the roird is filled with adirii- , ratio* and delight.

BOSTON CHRONIC, LF. * . 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.
