The committee, in common with the rest of th’eir'fcliow-citizens have heard the cur rent reports and opinions which have so generally been expressed respecting the cost of the building intended for the bank of the United States in Philadelphia, and the injuries which have'Secn sustained by the state or local banks from oppressive de mands for specie made upon them by the parent bank and its offices. As these reports and opinions are founded in error, the com mittee, from official documents, Wifi repre sent the facts as they really are. The land upon which the bank is to be erected, was purchased in May 1818, for. £157,000. According to the contracts which have been entered into, and the esti mate of a committee appointed by the board *4.

If rapine be abol ished, one of the encouragements to war is taken away; and peace therefore more like ly to continue and be lasting. ‘The practice of robbing merchants bn the high seas—-a remnant of the ancient pi racy—though it may be accidentally benefi cial to particular persons, is far from being profitable to ail engaged in it, or to the na tion that authorises it. In the beginning of a war some rich ships are sui-prised and taken. This encourages the first adven- turers to fit out more armed vessels; and many others to do the same, lint the ene my at the same time become more careful; arm their merchant ships better, and render them not so easy to be taken: they go also more under the protection of convoys.— Thus, while the privateers to take them are multiplied, the vessels subj-ect to be tak en, and the chances of profit, are diminish ed; so that many cruises arc made where in the cxpences overgo the gains; and, is is the case in other lotteries, though parfRu- lars have got prizes, the mass of adventur- for publication the following translation of an important law recently made in France, re lative to the abolition of the droit» d’au- bancj “Art. 1—TheT26tli&912thearticlcsofthe civil code arc hereby abrogated & repealed: in consequence of which, foreigner WtU have •the right to inherit,and to dispose of by will, and to receive in the same manner as French. men, in the whole e.ctent of the kingdom.

In the city of Philadelphia, the local banks have received from the Parent-bank* s 1,150,972„in Specie more than they have paid to it. No documents which the com- mitteehavelicen possessed of, exhibit the spe cie tra .saetions between the bank of tiie V. Slates and its offices and the local banks generally, • ut the books of the institution in this city shew, that the balances due to it by the load banks amount to g2,502,658, and that the balances due by it to the local hanks .mount to g941,000, ftianifesling that the large sum of 81,501,558 remains due to the institution, for which it is entitled to demand specie, but which it has forljome to do, al though, in tinier to support the credit of dig country, h ,. :s purchased great quantities of spc. ie at a considerable expcnce. As the degree ol confidence which will be, and which ougiit to be, annexed to the nrosnccts held out in this report relative to the future productiveness of the stock, tnust not a little depend upon the opinions enter tained of the administration of the r.arent nuuk, the committee deem it a part of their duty, to give publicity to their sentiments .ipourhts subject. From the time of their appointment, until this report was prepared, although they sat usually from an early ' .our in the morning until a late hour in the verting, with the exception of intervals td- lowed lor dinner; although, during their sit tings, they were vtuy often oluiged to apply to the president ol die hank for information, they always found him present, always tea dy, at all hours, to comply with their wishes, and always, when applied to communicating to them statements, facts and explanations with unreserved openness, v.-ilh honorable andur and with luminous perspicuity.

The Pence Society of Maine have re cently transmitted to the President of ih United States,a memorial against the prac tice of prviateering in time ol' war, anti al though, from the clamor, which similar proposals have uidionnlv raised in this country, we can scarcely expect, that the present effort will !:c inimei.lately produc tive of amelioration; we are glad, that the subject is not permitted to sleep, and.have reason to hope, that the repeated diffusion of the unanswerable arguments against so barbarous a practice will one day make an impression upon tbc rulers of the earth.— Dr. Franklin, it appears to us, has com pressed all tba* can he said upon the sub ject, into his little essay O/i War. A part of liis reasoning is contained in the memo rial above mentioned; but the must inaieri- i J considerations are omitted; and. in order put'the reader in possession of the whole ground, by a short reut, we shall copy the whole of Dr. Franklin’s observations. By the original law of nations, war and extirpation were the punishment of injury.

Why should it not be agreed to, as the future law of nations, tliat in any war hereafter the following descrip tion of men should be undisturbed, have the protection of both sides, and be permit ted to follow their employments in security?^ viz.
