Extract of a Letter Jro n Bordeaux, to a Merchant in tits town , dated April Jyth 1805. “ Since writing you on the iffth ult. cur market has undergone no alteration, except a trifling augmentation in the ar ticles of pimento—A new law has ap peared under date of the 30th Ventofe, (ift March) authorifing the feisure and cos fiscation of all colonial produce, imported in foreign (hips, which (hall not be accompanied with certificates of the French commercial agent, cirtifying that it is not the production of any colo ny or country under the domination of Great Britain. It will be ngourouCy enforced, even against vessels coming from port* where r.o such French agent rt fides. This law is supplementary to one cf the fame nature of the 1(t MelSdor, ttth year (20th June 1803) but more severe in its dispositions; as there was a modification in the latter, by which an exportation of equal value in French mv imfa&ured goods within the three months following the importation, was to he eonfiiered as a:i exemption from all pe nalties, ftizures or confiscations ; but this privilege is no longer allowed.

House of Reprefer.tatives Tuesday No vember 20. Continued. Mr. Bulloch, The mind of the honfe appeared so de cided yesterday that I did not intend to have spoken again on the fubjeft when the getieman firfi brought forward his motion for reconfcderation ; but the di. vision of the house has induced me again to rife on the queftiort. The former difculCon of the bill hes been every nbjedion the gentleman’s m- j genuity could devise was urged, and i: | would seem to me no new light could be thrown on the ful jt-ft at this late pi-rtod. The gentleman labored hard in his opposition yesterday without itating an objectionable point ; to day he ap p*‘ars to have read the bilf, but his argu-1 menu arc tquady weak and fallacious 1 The point of iecrecy which he m-kos such a bugbear, has been fully and ably i replied to. What will become of the I fu.- dircdt'irs or. the part of the ft ile j which all th. mifehitf, the ill-boding I of the gentleman fears, is ahting i is it I not their express duty to watch over the I intent ft of the ftateand report ail devia- 1 tions from Propriety? Does the gentle-j mm suppose we cannot find 4 men of whom one at Icaft will do their duty ?j He has f-ize-i on an expression which ; fell from my colleague, and attempts to ; m ike it the alarm post of opposition by ,’ iofinuating that we are making the dtf tiuction between up country and ! w country* but it was used with no such! invidious view—it was m-.-nt a. a reproof j to that, gentleman for attempting by in- ’ li-uation to ‘d'aw aline he prcteuua to difciaun. B/ tne provifi ms of the bill, the fta e is placed on the noil eligible footing reipe&tu,, the certificates. At all events (he can lose nathing for the inter it can uot exceed the divideti i. it a private individual could pay tor this stock by gi ving hia note at fix per cent, would he not prefer it to paying in specie ? Sure ly he would, and toy so doing wau.d make : his fortune too. I'hc terror of the gen-1 tleman left the ba >k fhouid be burnt dow-n, is ridiculous. The bank caimot be destroyed bv fire for there wnt ba vaults built under ground, wbjch firej cann it reach and human ingenuity can scarce divife tie means of breaking them °P‘j• The q i-fticn cr. o’.(agreeing to the re port of the committee of tlte n hoL was then taken and loft. Ayes 2j, Noes 25. A mrfTsge fi hu Senate was received and read, being a refohition for respiting the execution of Willi.im Smith, oi M’lntofh county, conviftcd for murder. Mr, C<fbv presented a petition which was read and referred. Mr. Clark moved to teke up the refo lotion from Senate. Mr. Welfcher, I confvfj, I am for executing judg ment in mercy, but I would not ex't ivi j mercy too far 1 can with great thill lenity vote pardon to a murderer, and the ■ cirrumftanc-sto mitigation mult appear ‘tiring to obtain my iiffuit. I wnh j that the documents relative to this case ; might be r ad, that we may not vote pardon where it is undeserved. Sundry documents relative, to the case were then read, when the house con curred a resolution. A resolution from Senate, appointing the flute house a place of meeting fir ele&ors of president and vice prefidenl of the United Stales wa® then taken up. Mr. Hall, I think the resolution a good one as far as it goes, but it ought to provide for filling vacancies. Mr. Flournoy, If any amendments are made in the resolution as it now Hands, the concur rence of the Senate will be neejfTary.— This wi 1 create delay, and as the time it. near at hand when the eleftors arc to vote ; as several of them are to be noti tied and refnle a considerable diflance, it may create fome embarraifment. It is highly probable that the filling of vacan cies will not be neceflary in the present lallance, but if tt fhouid be requiliie, I conficer the governor as constitution illy authorded to appoint without a fpecific resolution. Mr. Adame, I agree with the gentleman from Richmond, but I think there fhouhl b a period pointed out when the ab'ence ui the elector fhouid be conftdercd as crea ting the vacancy. No am ndment being moved, the house concurred in the resolution. Mr. Bibb, Reported a bill to grant certain privi ledges to James Pace, legal reprefenta tire of James Pace, dec. Mr. Mabury calhd up a resolution ap pointing a notary public and interpreter of foreign languages for St. Mary’s which was agreed to. The house then went into a commit tee of the whole on the bill to prevent the importation of slaves, Mr. Dranc in the chair. [The bill provided that where a man was accused of having inhis pr.fftffion ini ported negroes, he fhouid be bound to prove of whom he had them, and that the burden of proof on a plea, of not guilty fhouid be on the defendant The penalty, 1000 dollars. The other provisions of the bill will be gathered f-om the debate.! Mr. Wcilcher, Os all the opprcflion 1 ever knew, this hill is calcuiattd to produce the gteateft. That the tax collector fhouid have a right to fe’ze on my negroe at any time he thought proper, merely because he chofc to fay he was imported contrary to law, is unprecedented. It is contrary to tin guarantee of the constitution, and a vio lation cf aIL private right. Shall a citi zen He compelled to give oath againfl birnfelf ? Shall the burden of proof be thrown on the negative ? Must I run the danger of swear ing fa fely in my cwu caitfe or being deprived of my property ? The house ’ very properly r*j r.ted a similar attempt I laftyear, St l I ope this will share the fame fate. It is a facrcd principle of juftict as well as law, that if a m?.n denies a charge brought agrainlt him, the profc cutor must prove him guilty. Would it J not be dreadful in its cons quinces to lay j such a temptation to pcijury be ore our 1 citizens ? Shall a poor man perhaps j friendlcfs be compelled to give fecunty , for his property or facrifi:e it? If a , man fhouid attempt to purg. r himfrlf by {oath, then in addition to the forfeit : u e, the pains of p j ry must be fufl -r ----jed In the name ot Gt and never let such ;a inquisitorial power be given in our j country. It ffrikes at the root of liber- I ty, property and iuftice. i Mr. Caffels, I dil'agrce with the gentleman from (Chatha m.
