SIXTH CONGRESS

IN SENATE, n , *
Thursday, April 3,
Mr. Charles Pinckney 5 bill for
preventing die judges of the
United States from accepting or
olding any other appointments
v 1 e they continue judges, was
tuken up for decilion.
h was contended by Mr.
mckney, and the fupporters of
e bill, that this provifion was
to the independence
0 Jfle judges, and the pure and
•j? la ff e d expofition of the laws.
u d the prefident could hold
judges the temptation

m as judges, or that he would

LIUERTT IS OCR MOTTO 'D TRUTH QUR GUIDE
to decide ; that a pidge ought
never to leave the United States, 1
or he drav n from Ins official
fftuaticn, and leave an undue
proportion of its duties to be
performed by the remainder of
tne bench; that no man ought
to hold two offices under the
fame government, particularly
where they were impoHant ; that
in cafe of the impeachment of
the prefident of the United
States, the chief juftice was to
prcfide, and there was no ptovi
fion in the conftitution to hip
ply the vacancy in his abfence ;
therefore if an impeachment was
to take place, it mult remain un
decided until the chief juflicc
could be lent for; that molt
of the (late confutations had pro
vihons lo prevent their judges
Golding other offices; that a
federal judge might, as things
Band now, accept any other
appointment, either from a Date,
or horn the United States or
even a foreign power; that the
grand convention which formed
the ccnftiiution, by refuting to
join the judges in the revifiona
ry power with the prefident, was
a fufficient proof or their opi
iTions, that they meant the
judges to have nothing to do
with the formation of the laws
or treaties : that the not prevent
ing the judges holding o'hu
offices was clearly an omiffion
in the conftitution, which the
legiflature had an undoubted
right to re£tify by law ; for U
did not go to pn vent the preft
dent's right to nominate a judge, ,
but only to declare that if a judge
accepted another appointment
he could not longer continue a
judge ; a condition, a limitation,
the legiflature hsd mofl unques
tionably a right to annex: that
as the lives and fortunes of our
citizens depended on the pure
and uninfluenced adminiflratiou
of the laws in our judicial
courts, the laws refpe&mg tha:
department could not keep too
jiricl an eye over the conduß and
unbiaffed decifions 0} the judges:
that it ‘ could by no means be
confidered as a jefh6lion on
the Prefident roi appointing Mr.
El/worih, bccaule he certainly
had a light, as the law now
(lands, to do fo, if he thought
Mr. Klfworth the frtteft man in
the United States : that the
houfe every day repealed laws,
and altered thofe of pieccding
hgiflatures, without confidering :
it as a revolution ; and that it
the legifialuie now thought pro
per to lay it was bell to keep the
judges at home and confine them to
their judicial duties, and the thing
was right, it would not be c jnft
dv'ccUas a refaction on him tor
having fent a judge abroad.
1 hat for the honor and the ta
lents o f our country, it wasal
ways to be hoped, that more
than fix men might be found
capable ol dilcharging any du
ties their country ftiould re
quire.
Several other arguments c
qually impreffive were urged,
which wc could not colled. The
debate was lengthy,
Mr Ro/s, Mr. Dexter, and
Mr. Read oppofed the bill prin
cipally on the ground of its
bein % unconftilutional! and inex
pedient; and that it would ope
rate as a renfurc on the prefident
of tire United States, for having
nominated a judge, and the
fenate for having confirmed
him !
A gain ft the bill— 14
For it 12
'I his being the prfi time this
quefiion was decided upon in
the fenate, and there being only
a majority of two, we entertain
ft l ong hopes that the fenfe of
the conn try on this fubjedf, and
the per fevering indnflry of the
friends of judicial reform, will
at no diftant day, induce the
legiftatute to cftabiilh this falu
tary regulation.
In the debate on Thurfday
lafl, upon the bill concerning
the judges, we remarked, that
Mr. Lawrence of New York,
who had on a foirncr octafion
fpoken in favor of the piinc:pie
of the bill—was on this abjent.
CONSTANTINOPLE,
November 5 r.
Intelligence of a very diftaf
trous kind has been juft: received
from the Grand Vizier, Ue
took fix months to march from
Scutari to Damas, and the con
tributions that he rafted f#r the
fubfiftcncc of his army, have
alienated the minds of the inha
bitants of A ha'Minor, from the
government of the Forte.
W hen ihfe news reached him
at Elvan, that the Tuiks were
defeated at Aboukir, nearly one
half of his army difbanded on
its way to Aleppo.
The French general Kleber
diipatchcd to El-Arift# a body
of troops, to protect that place,
and prevent the pafLge of the
Deflart. The Grand Vizier
transferred his camp to the ut
moft cultivated part of Syria,
at the beginning of the Deharts
of Egypt. lie remained 15
days, making every p:eparation
and collecting camels and Hems,
to enable him to traverfe the
Deflart eighty leagues in extern.
GeAcral Kleber having been
imorrF%&. .of* preparations
reinforced the French advanced
pu.ntl at Ll-Arifot, repaired to
that place in per fen, and on the
22d October marched forward
af the bead of 2000 dragoons or
I rench hullais, and a regiment
ot a 1000 men mounted on
dromidaiies, with foot foldiers
behind them. He a!fo took with
him a great number of light
lu id pieces, and having made a
circuit in the DeHart, arrived in
f ,hc ! car of the enemy's camp at
bieak of day, nearly about the
fame time when a corpsof 10,000
infantry had arrived at the well
of Schabiah, about a league ai d
a had cillancc fu>m the camp.
The grand Vizier thus unexprft
edly attack'd could not make a
long rchflancc; and the Frcntli
• ook the camp, a part of his
baggage, and levcral l{*o|Lnti
pnloners.
i he grand Vizier immediately
retreated with the remains of his
anny towaids Damas, which is
10 days march from Gaza
') he French have levied vciy
la)ge contsibutions in the pro
vince of Gaza, particularly in
011 and tobacco, which arc very
much wanted in Egypt. 'I hey
have left a Hrong garnfon in
Kl-Arilc h, and a number ol en
r,inccts to complere the woiks.
1 hey have alio collcdfr d at that
place near 10 000 Turkifh pri
soners, who are all conßantly
employed in finifhing the works.
I lie intelligence has caufcd a
gieat conflernation among the
members of the Divan, and in
creased the number of thofe at
taclicd to the French. It is
thought that tin- Grcnd Vizier •
will be difgraced, and no hopes
aic entertained at ConfLntino
pie of reconquering Egypt.
LON DON, January 2.
United Irijhmen in PruJJia.
A gentleman of Dublin, who
was deputed by the government
to accompany the L’nitcd Infh
men, lately tiaiffportcd to the
PruHian dominions, to the
amount of about 800, gives the
following account of their ic
ception in that country, which
differs materially from that pub
lilLed in the papers.
“ On their Griding at Fmb
den, they wer* attended by a
commifiary frem the king, who
infotmed tin*r\ they weie to be
