With this '."View the constitution- of the United States, . and of many of the states also, had render ed the magistrates who decided judicially be tween m m and nnn, more Independent than those of any other country in the world, in the hope that every inducement, whether of in timidation or seduction which could cause them to swere froiit the duty assigned to them might he rm?ved. Bat such was the frailty of human nature, that there was no precaution by which our integrity and ho-; nour could be preserved, in case we were de ficient in that duty which we owed to our selves. In consequence1, sir, said Mr. Ran dolph, of this unfortunate condition of if!an, we have been obliged, but yesterday, to pre fer an accusation against a judge of the; Uni ted States who has been found wauling in hi duty to himself and his country. . At the last session of congress, a gentle man from Pennsylvania did, in bis place, (on tbe bill to amend the judicial system oflhc United Slates) state certain f.ts in relation to the oTh Sal conduct of an eminent judicial character, which I then thought and still think, the hotist bound to not ce.

The result having convinced me that there exists ground of impeachment against this t niter, I demand an enquiry into lus con duct, and therefore submit to the house the .following resolution t Rct'dved, That a fommitUc be poiiited to c'l iire iutn the t,nicil conduct of Samuel Vl one iii Ihe associate juilifrl of the u rtivir.e court of the Uniud Stales, and lo re port tirir opil ion bclhtr the said Samuil C'hm c hub so Bctdinlii judicial capacity at to require the infci portion unite coiutiiu tional tKiwer of this house.

Yet the experiments "already ; made have exceeded, their hopes,' and thee port of Admiral llruix is very favourable' to tha conduct and success of the flotilla ' Ad-' roiral lkuix has written to the Minister of Marine the account, which he has rendered, very Battering. The bombardment .of iht: aeve'ral ports' has eventually proved, nodis- v couragemerit to the French, ' and the First Consul has most pointedly marked with his approbation the firmness which was discover ed by. some officers at Granville. To this . notice which has had all its effect, has been ahiteda'jriaPtbnalriRaiiioit" to secure the first rewards to those who should prt-erai-nentlr distinguish themselves in the army of England. Butwhile the. army ef England is the first object, the comprehensive' mind of Buonaparte surveys all the points at. which France can be vulnerable. .WhilJ the fleet in the -Mediterranean' 19 equally preparing fortho active services as the fleet at' Brest ; while constant negociations ar maintaioed between the northern powers and the southern parts of. Euroc, in Portugal and Spain ; while an armv and fleet are busy in the south ern parts of Italy, still there remains a vigi lant army in Ilanover, a strong army in the sdutheru- parts of France-, and .a powerful ar my in the northern parts of Italy. The im perial army in Venice, necessary perhaps for the quiet of th new territory, is not left with- 1 out a good guard upon all its nps rations. ; This army contained ,10,00!) men in October ' last under Gen. IJjllegrade, whose head-rpiar- tcrs wu-re in Padua. General Mitrollsky ..""'. commands under him at Treviso. Two thou- " sand men from this army are in the Italian ' Tyrol ; upon the Adige there are 10,900 ; and above 6,000' a re near .Verona, upon the j Austrian Frontiers.. TheFrench army,vhich remain in upper Italy, is reckoned at 50,000 !" French and Italians : two-thirds of it are un-. on the const of the Mediterranean, the other' j third at Mintna, Verona, ISoIogne.Fcrrara, and other part oPthe interior, While tha Courts are in friendship, the Generals live in great harmony, and there is no" temptation' left to viol ite it , , ; J . The English nd French continue to pub lish various plans of the invasion. The ge neral opinion appears -to be that it will not be in one point. While great apprehensions are expressed for Ireland, orders are given for two regiments t'o be ready to depart for the West-Indies. The Gernnns are more than at any .former time attentive to crjmmnrce, both in studying its laws, and in removing the unr.y obstacles to its success from national habits and pre judices. t A' experiment has been made in Franco-iia by Prussia and Uavai ia of the suc cess of an unlimitted commerce in grain. The orders have been published, and .lr.tve been received with every expression tS the public joy.. Wurtsburg has a professor of Commerce from the Elector of levari ., and Heidelberg by or Jcr of the Elector of Hade. Th; English assert that the Germans agree that there has not been that vigilance agniiitt the good from England, which the orders of Gen. Mortkr retptired. Wc have from Rerbice the regulations of commerce, which define the liberties of nu tral commerce, and provide for an intercourse with the United States of America. . Wc have, seen a continuation of the Tour in October last to Detroit from Kcntnckeyrami we follow the traveller with an anxious dc 'aire of information through these region which arc soon to welcome new settlements. O.i the fith of October our traveller U ft Otawva town to proceed onward toward the rapids of Miami oflhe lake. The usual route by fort Defiance at the mouth of the Auglmc, be forsook, to take an Indian path, which saved him about 20 miles of distance. It was much uncleared. From Tawva town to the rapid of the Mismi was 70 miles, and it is a flat country with a growth ol beach, linu, and sycamore. Some good land near the Auglaize was covered with ash, oak and wal- uU.OatUi goml-Unil-aomerOTivrvf InT" duns had settled, .10 miles from Otawva town upon a folk of the river. Much of this country U overflowed in winter. The sugar tree wa'i found in thi neighborhood, and the Indian troughs were to be seen by which the Indians prepared the sugar for their ue The whole sountry from .orrimicr's old fort in th: Miami of Ohio, lo the rapids of the Miami of the Ioike, Ik? presumes cannot be immediately productive, as the lands mu4b4 , drained. The Miami at the ford l found to be wide but shallow. The ford were ten miles front' the rapid, and there was a very B jrccuMe view from the banks of thn river, let rem tin were to be seen of the British force near Wayne's battleground. A few houses inhabited by the French who had a dopted Indian habit were near the rspidt The Miami below offered a wide and tinin ttrmpted stream. He went down tha titer several miles in Jus way to JKiioit, n:d putted scvcrt a'cr course of consider Jdc depth, and afterward the road were comfortable through groves and over flat grounds, till he reached a small settlement at Otter Crctk, 3 ) miles from the foot of the rapid, la six milci he reached the - flourishing settlement at Krgion River, lie wssnw mjr near to Lake Erie. Th house were f logs, Lul constructed to have tht roofs supported in the mi do I?. No bridge or rosd were to be found ctctptinj in the suburb of Detroit, and for a amsll distance near M'Dour.sl's mills. The inhAbitanU ha rrprficnt t re gligcntof m ny nattiitar sdvantagcssrhich a territorial go vernment may lead them to embrace. - But' such are their habits that more could be ex pected from tbe new than the old settlers. While we have travels into the Interior, we learn something of the commerce. From Detroit to the Mississippi, the Commerce; may "scarcely be said to have an established., course. In the I-akes it is more convenient. Some losses will probably oblige the report of voyages whicl woUld otherwise have been unknown. " The sloop Washington, with a valuable cargo, ' was.' lost in Lake Ontario She sailed from Kingbton on the 6th of No vember last for Niagara. "Her Boat and sev eral articles were found at Oswego., I rom Kingston' to Oswego is nearly a southern course about 30 miles. From Kingston to Niairara is about S.'W. HO miles across the- Lake. 1 he commerce oi tne juase is al ready of sufficieRt cousequence to attract serious notice. The cargo of this sloop is. reckoned1 at 20,000 dollars.
