that the Auditor shonlJ not issue a warrant to pay
more than one member trout each county, un

the necessary sum iu the Treasury. Those he
said, who claimed power and obtained au unequal
representation should pay for it, or at any rate
pay the expeuses of their extra delegates. She
uandu&h which paid hut a small sum in the Trea
sury more than Orange had four delegates.
Mr. Gordon remarked .'hat Albemarle paid a

Total certain & probable disbursements

15,331 11
Tbe cxrc«3 of receipts over the charges enu
merated, as here represented, is $15,331, 11, but
as the receipts are dependent oil stork* of dilfcrcnt
kinds whose dividends vary, and as the charges
inay and wiil he increased by subscription* to
companies, that have not heretofore participated in
the Fund, the relation in which they aie exhibited,
will be changed. There mny be an excess alter
the engagements of the year shall have been cum
pli.d w ilh, but it i* more probable, that there will
be a deficit. In the first place the balance repre
sented to be at the credit of the Funds in the Trea
*ury will be diminished by the sum of $1,098 92,
the deficiency ascertained to exist it; the ac
count* of the late Treasurer. It i* moreover pro
bable that disappointment will be expeiienced in
the receipt of interest,accriiing within the year on
loans, made to the Dismal Swamp Canal, as a
communication from that company recently re
ccived, reprt'H"^, their funds to he entirely ex
hausted in the ptosccution ol their woi k, amt asks
for a suspension of the payment of interest, until
the receipts ol toll*, the only resource ol the
Company, shall give the mean* of paying.
1 lie estimate ol receipts from other sources,how
ever, is formed upon alow sc.de, *o much so, that
it inay be confidently expected, that the in
come of the year calculated upon from dividends of
the Banks and surplus tolls of the James River
Company will be ci|ital in amount, ove- and above
the estimate, to the sum subtracted by the above
cases.
in the estimate of receipts is included the surplus '
of tolls of the James river Company. It has been
ascertained, however, since a derangement in the
Treasury Department occurred, that there is a
deficiency of $12,105 Odin this fund. Thi- cir
cumstance may pruiluee inconvciiirncc and pie
| vent a compliance with the engagements entered
ini»* by the Board huIcss a remedy be applied.—■
1 his can be eft. ctcd hy Legislative .tid alone, and
two modes present (hctitselvea, which are submit
ted to the consideration of the General Assembly.
The dr ficiency may he replaced ami rendered u
v i able for th.- purposes required by the passage of
an act author isi. .g the payiucnt of warrants not ex
ceeding in amount $12,-105 50, .liawn by autho
rity of the B rani ot l’uldic Works, out of any mo
ney in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, or
by giving authority to the President and Directors
of the Literary Fund to lend, and to the Board of
Public Wo ks to borrow that sum—This last sug
gestion is made from a belief that the first named
tund has generally on hand a su.plu- equal to or
exceeding th? amount r quired It is confidently
believed tlia* the sums subtracted from the Trea j
sury, or either of the funds mentioned, will be
fore long b < replaced, and as no hazard is incurred, I
it is respectfully iccoiniiieiulcd to the General!
Assembly to pass an a t providing for the cxisiimr
deficiency by either of the modes mentioned, or in
any other way which in their wisdom may seem
best.
A review ot the State of the Fund will shew an
improvement in its condition, and warrants the \
pectation of greater benefit being derived from it,
than lias for some time past been indulged, it
will he perceived that the aggregate amount of the
Fund has been augmented by the sum of
l $38,077 50, but what is a source of higher gratifi
cation and gives promise of gre .ter utility is, that
the portion of the disposable Fund yielding reve
nue lus been incrcasod from $195,300 to $2tf»,550.
This faculty of the Fund of annua ly increasing its
capital, and of making its funds applied to one
work of improvement, affird ilitj means of encou
raging and fostering other work-, it may b - ex
pected will be brought into more active opes ation
ma short time Many works that have been inpr.,
gr. s- of completion f>r ye i-,several of which .ire
ol great importance, will he fini lied before ion •
when in addition to theb nefit derived from their
use, some aid to tug t und in the shape of revenue
may be calculated upon. Other works either com
ple’e.lor in progress exliibit improvement in
their financial con erns, which gives stronger as
suiam e of success than has heretofore been enter
tained. More full and satisfactory information in
relation to the companies alluded to, will be found
in their respective reports to which your attention
is respectfully invited.
Alter the notice taken of the improvement of the
fund It would notlbe proper to pass over in silenrc
the burden* or disabilities under which it labours
In taking a view of the sta o of the und, more
particularly its disbursements, the attention is ar
rested by the large amount of interest paid on the
James River Company Loans; it will be seen that
whi e the whole amount of expenditure, during
th last year, was $11.8,889 81, the amount of in
| terrat jmkI on account of (hose lo ins was &71 f>73 !
fjOcts; but, in order to form a eorrerl opinion of the
actual charge sustained by the fund on account of
this improvement, the receipt* of the year should
be vie wed in connexion with the disbursements —
ih whole amount of receipt*, within the same
time, from every source, was $117,226 81 of
which the proportion derived from the James Ri
ver and Kanawha Surplus Tolls, was $29 734 OH
The difference between the amounts paid’ and re
ceived on this account, which i* $11,939 11 eon <
shtutesrhe burden under which the Fund labors
! an<1 renders it by so much the less capable of di*.’
pensing the benefits which were with reason ex
pected to be derived from its establishment. The
only connexion subsisting between the Jaino* Ri
ver Company and the Board of Public Work-, is
that created by the Act of the General Assembly
charging the bund for Internal Iinproveincut.with
the payment of the interest on loan* made for the
benefit of that Company. This would make it ne
cessary in each annual report of the Board, in
which a view of its fiscal affairs is presented, to
speak of the pecuniary concerns of that Company
and place them in their true light before the Leg
islature. This has been done at oach succeeding
meeting 0 the G. Assembly, since the compact
lormc.l between the Commonwealth and the lames
River Cannl Company; but, the Board lias been
content toconfine itself to that single object. It
is doubted, however, whothcr tbe improvement of
that important River, together with the influence
It maintained over every other similar or kindred
i ""P^cment, not only bj tbe mode pursued, but1
thro llscoun xmn with the Fun’, ha* not claimed
and required more special notice. Under the i,„.
pression that it has, the Board will, with the res
pect and deference duo to the G. Assembly.under
wfio-e patronage and supervision tbe work has
bc -ti conducted, present some farther views, it „
acknowledged by all, that the improvement of the
. arncs River is highly important to the extensive
and fertile country thro’ which it Bows; and th •
oird, entertain ng this op nion in its fullest ex
tent, has seen with regie! and concern, that it has
Tor so loug a erne remained stationary. The inter
ertof tne disirict of country now iimncdi«t< I y con
cerned, and the relief of the Fund from tin- bur
den imposed upon it, to which every other section
of the State look* for support, in aid of their indi
vidual exertions would seem to re,,„ire and claim
the attention of the Lcgi,|ature. A lnijl
of Internal Improvement, such a* now exids an
pears to have had the rff,-ct,hy dividing the inter
ests, that shoold be united in <uppor»of a g. n< rat
system of paralysing the exertions of every «ec
tionof (heState. It would, moreover, appear, th it
tiie particular improvement, winch has enjoyed the
special patronage of the G. Assembly, has not ad
vanced in a degree bearing a just proportion to
the amount expended on it, whil-t most other im
provement* have languished or been deferred lor
want ol support an l encouragement, in conse
quence ol this expenditure. In connexion with
this subject, a» it forms a pait of the James River
improvement, it \m|| l>e proper, in ibis place, to
teke some notice ot the work on the Kanawha Ri
ver, to which the attention of the Board has ben
called by an actol the G. Assembly, and memori
als ol the Citizens tesiding on, and more itnniedi
iivly interested in the navigation ol that River —
The improvement of this Hi rer, Resigned & plan
ned by a former Engineerof tiie Sta‘.“,Mi\ Mcore.
has been completed, and the work received bv tin*
Agent of the Janies River Company, on tiie Ka
nawha section, from the Contractor:;. It i< now
represented l»y the persons, foi whose benefit anil
convenience it was undertaken, mid who almost
exclusively, are engaged in the navigation of the
River, that instead of removing impediments, ob
structions have been ert ated.and that the River mi
its natural state, allot dd safer and belter naviga
tion, tlun is enjoyed, since the Improvement has
been made ihe facts of the case, as far as they
can he, will be ascertained and made the tulyeot
ol a separate report The view in which tin* -ob
ject presents itself to the Hand, as connected with,
and haviug a bearing on the present system, is, that
impiovetneiits ol the kind hero spoken of, under
taken and pro edited at the sole expense of the
State, seem to he considered in the light of public
property, and should be made public highways,
tree ol charge, lor their use. It cannot he b licv
e*l, that it individuals more immediately concern
ed, had been interested ill the improvement in
question, that the means employed to evade the
payment ol lolls, would have been resorted to, 01
if “O, could have succeeded to the extent they
have. The Tolls on the Kan *w ha, under the ex
isting Tariff, are estimated at $S.flOOper year, at
least; but may be con-dd'-red as nominal. The
Board, in pie*cnting their views on this subject, i«
influenced by the mo-t sineer • and earnest desire
to see the improvement of the James River r*
coinmenced and conducted to a succes-hil termi
nation. It remains with the G. Assembly lo da
vise a -cheme and provide the means.
Another caus9 of embarrassment experienced
in the management of lli<* Fun ', and which i< be
lieved to have produced a considerable expendi
ture, without the attainment of .:nv coiiiiii“nsu
rate benefit, results from the course of legislation
pursued, on the subjects of improvement present
ed to the consideration of the (7. Assembly It is
very desirable, that a system of improvement, ap
plicable to Roads more particularly, should be a
dopted and pursued, as far as ,„av be practicable,
which would have the effect to make each road
form a link in a chain from the point of commence
inent, to the utmost ext: nt to which it may b
carried. Improvements ol this character, are grn
era'ly undertaken, in the first instance, in the
neighborhood of Towns; and if, after the forma
lion ot the fust, the second, and each one insne
ce*s|on, *ha!l lie loc i'ediu continuation, the h i ••
lit of great highways, or turnpike road*, travers
ing the Stale in different directions, must be tin ]
certain consequence.
it vuni a system is desirable, nntl the result
would be, what is token foi granted, it can never
l>e attained, so long as a decision, favorab! to an
improvement petitioned for, is accompanied by a
requisition on tbe Hoard to make a subset iption —
Improvements in their nature, local and limited to
neighborhood convt nienco, inu-t, under such a
course, teceive a portion of the fund designed for
ohjectsot more general utility; an! it may he
que-tion d, whetli *r under certain circumstances,
the object may not be so entirely local, that a sa
crilire ol the . individual subscriptions, together
with the State’s quota, may not e a positive gain;
confined, how.-vur, to those Unto mutely interest
ed. In such a ca- e, the subscription from the
r und must be lost, and with it, all hope ol a divi
dend.
In the remarks here submitted,- the Board is in
fluenced by no other consideration, than a just re
gard to the interest of the Fund committed to their
charge,and of the at large, atl,| encourag
ed to make them, fioin the sat is'act ion experiene
ejl, by seeing the same sentiment advanced by a
Committee of (be (i. Asembly, in Iheii report on
the state of the Office of the 2d Auditor.
The charges payab’c out of the income of th.
rund during tlio present year, together with the
interest on tbe J nnes River Company lotus and «-x
p.-nsc? of surveys, &c., it h is been stated will ab
-orb, in all probability, the entile income. The
tb uges, however. a e certain, while the receipts,
as they :r.u-t be, from the ewurcej whence derived
are conjectural.
W bile it is impossible for this reason to arrive
at accuracy, it is very certain that if any disap
pointment sliould be experienced, the inconveni
enee will be very inconsiderable, and hut tor a
short period of time, as the income of the next year
is charged with the payment ol $.'it)i)U only at
present. I here will be claims, however, in" tbe
revenue of that year by companies recently char
tered; but in providing for them care w II be ta
ken, not to create heavier charges than can, with
existing engagements, he complied with. The
vietv herein presented ol the fiscal concerns ot the
board, exhibits this very satisfactory result, that
while the ability of the fund has increased’, and
is likely to be advanced, the demands are less and
are diminishing.

Jan. 21,
THE CONVEN rION BILL.
The Convention Bill passed the H. ot ff. yester- I
day, by a majority of 42 vote*—precisely 3 week*
from Hie I '.y when the queslir n was first taken up
for debate. We mu*t camion (he reader again*! *
concluding, from the size of the nnjoriiy. that the !
Bill ia certainly lo pa*s in this shape. There were
many who voted for it on different ground* some
because they thought it wa» (he Olive Branch, and
concluded it was iho best they could get—oth
ers, because they were willing lo yie' l fo whil
th^y believed was ihe wish of the minority, v to
this proposition, k«\ kr But, tb it the Bill was not
the favorite of a majority of Forty Two, i
evident from the fact, that the motion to re
commit lha bill, (with the view, it was eaid, of
exchanging it* brsi* for that of tlio Senatorial
basis,) wariest by a majority of 13 only.—That
some bill will finally pass both fJon.es for or
g»ni7ing i Convention,we cannot permit ourselves
to doubt; but we are rather disposed to think it
will not finally be in tho «hape which it has now
asmim-d. Fr«>m all we can under (arid, are
inclined to believe, that it wi'l n .i pa-s the Senate,
and that they ate likely to send it b,»* k with the
Senatorial Representation, su s noted for the pro
p et t.f the pr -s; rit bill—Indo ut, were wc to
ha/ard any opinion, it wou:,j ; . ,',n Ili](, .,.
express(1 a few days ago, viz: that the Senator *1
basis would be ultimately adopted. If the bill
doe* not pass in its present or a similar shape, w. |
think the county system may be console ted a* .
broken down—the Congressional Districts arc al
most hors de combat—and a majority may proba- i
t>ly be ultimately found to settle down u;shi the I
S n.ilori.il ha*i*.
The present bill proposes to give 76 counties
and 4 boroughs one representative eact,; 22, tu'o •
repre -nit.itives; 8, thtce representative*; and 2
others,four—147 in all. /
We understand that it is not probable the Sen- j
ate will scarcely make a final disposition of this
bill before the clo*e ol the next week.— In the
mean while, we will hasten to lay a* rap;'* y as
possible before our readers the Speeches which
we have yet on baud.
DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES.
W»*re no very ardent friend* of the present
extravagant T.irill— and yet we have no he-it.itiou
in saying, that our farmers would find it to be their
interest to manufacture; with the 1 a. d* which
they po**e**, not ol the Clo hirg w hieh they want
Upon (li i>- fat ms. But ivi- a great dinidemtum to
nnd rstand «n what way (hi* labour can be must
t’i.dullv directed. Any estate, that has many
slave* on it, can easily clothe its hand*, by raising
a few sheep, some cotton, and by availing itself of
the useful machines b'r domestic manufacture*,
which have been recently invented. Among
these, i* the machine which i* described in the
f/llowiug article tiom the N. C Ncwbern Spec
tator.— We have heud the most favorable accounts
of its operation—and we understand that one or
two of the farmers of Virginia have detcriidned to
try them. Unite one ot thess machines with a
water-power loom; and it will require only
the labour ol two females, tor a part cf the
year, to clothe all the slaves on the E*ta|e.—
If tl»«* scale of operation* were extended, it might
become a source of some profit to make cloth tor
the supply ol ncighboiing plantations. Two or three
fann-TS might unite their means, for the clothing
nl all their laborer*. II two or three machine* ol
this de*criptjon were established in each county,
in conjunction wi'h power-loom* erected upon sin.ill
streams, it might not only be a profitable invest
ment to tfie proptietor, but the means of supplying
do hing in a very convenient and economical man
ner.— \Ve merely throw out the id. a, for the con
*idcra'ion of our readers. Tbe necessary infer*
inati n, we presum ■, could be obtain* d at Ra
leigh Pcrhap* some nit clianic among ourselves
might fiml it to his interest to erect s ch ma
chine*:
“While at Raleigh we examined with much |
attention the “Cotton Spinster,” exhibited by the
Messrs. Andersons, who have commenced t' ,
making of those machines at that pi tee. They
appear to us to be highly v.itou ie to those who
manufacture domestic clothing for then families

RETRENCHMENT AND REFORM.
We hail with great satisfaction the eff»rts that
are making hy Mr. Hamilton arid hi** colleagues,
of the Committee of Retrenchment, lo introduce
certain retorms into the administration ot the go
vernment. We tri.st that Congress will cccon-l
t!r se exertions. Th > fri. nds of -laokson, in oa -
ticnbr, are pledged to the cause of Reform; and
, their leading associates ought to he the first to
retrench the public expenses, and to lop off every
abuse of office. We would anxiously make everv
saying, however small, which is required hy the
principles of the government. The members of
t on gross ought to look to their own expenses'
with peculiar interest. They at*- no' expected to
cuitiil their fail roinpeusn ion— hut are there no

... COMMUNICATED.
The puolication of Cen’l Parker would not hava
been noticed hy me, if it had not been aceomna
nied by the statement of Mr. Terrill, that if*
heard me express the belief, that the advocates o»
county representation (Gen'l Parker says all of
them) were influenced, (Gen’l *». adds, solely) by
a de-ire oi obtaining seats in the convention. Tho
conversation alluded to, took place in the Parlour
ol Ihe house at which 1 board; where there are
lour members friendly to that plan; of whom threo
were present, and my remarks were addressed to
one ot them—Mr. Terrill was not six feet from
me; hui as lus back was turned, and my vision is
bad at night, I did not recognize him. He Wa*
engaged in a certain amusement, which almost
engrosses one’s attention, and if I were to judge
from the energy with which he struck the tab*c
lie was at least as much excited by that, as 1
hy my subject.
It is inipo-sible forme tc recollect every remark,
serious and jocular, which 1 have made in
the frequent and free conversations, which have
taken place at our boarding house, in the various
questions to which the convention has given rise.
My recollection of what passed that evening is,
that while I depiecaten the success of eriua.
county representation, as likely to produce dis
cord without measure, in*the middle izthe Valley
country, my remarks w ere confined chiefly to it*
effects and tendencies. In regard to these, my
in tin vv i- earnest, because my apprchcpsicus
wer. strong. But ihe conversation digics*cd to
lue question of excluding from the convention,
persons who held offices under the state and Fed
eral Governments, and in re-pect to his, which
l con Id not consider as probable, I said that
i such an amendment shout i prevail. I would pro
po=e to exclude members cf the present pgs-m
Idy; and if it should not he agreed to, it would
piove that they intended to secure seats for them
selves in the Convention. Upon this tcoic i
navj spoken s riousty and jocularly. I.wasastonish
od ai a proposition to deny to the pr, pie, the vigU
uj electing to their Conventions, every man tchhm
t.c V had clothed with pcuu r.and honoured OfiCi
confidence, except ourselves; and I spoke of it, as
I felt. 1 do not know that any Kentleman recol
lecls tho precise remarks which I used on eithcr
6iibjeet. but, without asking f >r certificates, i fetl
authorised to say, that no displeasure was felt by
any; .ind that none understood rur to rbakn the'
offensive imputation, which is ascribed to me. It
is not in my character or my nature, to denounce
gentlemen in mas-. besides, I knew as well as it
coiihl be known, that most of the small cout/tfe*
"e,*‘ anxious for i qua representation; it was na
taial li.ai their delegates rhouhl feel the nine
ufixie y, and at any iale, the will ol their countv,
must povt-m their vote. J
I'.tdcr these circumstances, I think it probablo
'..i .t Air. « . eiigagcd as he was, misunderstood m\*
