Memorial and Remonstrance to the Chief
Juft.ce, av.d Judges of die Court of Oyer
and Terminer, in support of their public
rights and«private characters, attacked by
the doctrine and reflections of the. Court.
It being refund a public reading, they
are coispriled to have recourse to the press,
for a vindication of their conduct.
Al fame time, they would with to make
known, that, influenced ky the obliga
tions of civil and of facial duty, theycan
not butexpreis,' as they very sensibly feel,
the nir.l pointed abhorrence and detefta.
ticu of all such defamatory publications,
as h*-W a tendency wantonly to expose
public rhafaftcrs to censure and contempt,
—or pr.v.ite ones to abuse and obloquy ;

in the State, to the great prejudice of the

peace, and happiness of individuals.

Court cf Qjtr and Tcrmir.er.
Yh. Memorial jni
Rrmon-rtncs of tfc? Grand Ju- J
T 7 tcr tte City 3rd Cuur.cy of Philadelphia,
THAT the grand jury, having, in dif
ehart-e r)" their duty, and on their folenin
ocths andeffirmations, deliberated and decid
td or. two seVeral indi&irents presented
against Eleazer Oswald (e;:ch for a libel) and,
under the fanftion of such high obligations,
/ having delivered their just return into court,
(on Friday the 3d instant) cannot but re.
member, with peculiar fallibility and con
cern, that they incurred the severe difplea
fire of the bench, and received very re
proachful language for their conduft.
After the or:oft scrutinizing felf-examina
tion, they feci themfelvei aflured of the pu
rity and re&itud? cf their intentiohk ; and
do therefore, ir. defence of their violated
rights, and in their own juftificatiofi, request
the pernuflion ot the court, to clear them
selves from the charges ailedged against them
--and to elHbl.Hi the propriety and upright
ness of their conduft.
That if anv thing (ho*ld fall from them,
which, by a forced conflruftion, might ap
pear difrefpeftfu! to the court, thev jfetter
tl.emfclves, that the unflraken seal' for the
liberties of their country, their fidelity to
their trust, and the relative situation they
Hand in with their'fellow citizens of the
, ftnte, which are the motives that alone ac
tuate them wjll fully plead their apolog-y.
That they have beeu accused of having
•xamined witnefles, on the above-mentioned
indigents, not previously approved of by
the court : your memorialists have been
taught to believe, that an examination of
* - all witnefies (laboring under no legal difqual
ifjeation) i» 'founded on law, reason and j
praftice ; is a right inherent in a grand jury; j
and, in freegovernments. ftiould be fecurcd
by every reftrsint of the most rigorous con
ftruftion ; consequently, that the attempt
to deprive grand jurors of invaluable
privilege, is an obstruction to the citizen's
claim of right in the prefeat instance ; and,
if acc'jiefcen in, might be drawn out into
precedent, so as to prove a most certain de
feat of them in future, to the great detri
ment and degradation of the members of
this free commonwealth.
They conceive tint the doftrine of the
court, of having a right to control the evi
dence they fliould examine, on indictments
brought before them, is not only departing
from the solid principles of law and liberty,
and truflmg to the discretionary power of
judges ; but would, if introduced into prac
tice, be subversive of the oaths of the jurors,
who are bound thereby diligently to enquire
into and present, the xpigh truth ; wixh,
doubt'lefs, cannot be ascertained and elfob
ljfhcd, with fatisfaftory precision, but frcm
the rcfult of'teftimony on both fides. It
would likewise give to Judges the opportu
nity of fupprefiing, from improper motives,
such evidence, as might tend to exculpate
the party accused. It is deftruftive, too, of
the humane intention of the law. which be
nevolently designs that so person (hall be
■convifted, but on the solemn decision of
twenty-four perfor.s, delivered into court.
Your memorisluls are of opinion, that
the fuggeftioji of the chief juP.ice, "-that the
grand irxjueft <si" the city and county were
biafted, and led away by the spirit of party
views, and that they had been tampered
with by tie authors of the obnoxious publi
cations," involved in it a criminal charge,
of a heinous and effenfive nature, that expo
sed their moral characters to doubt and dif
cufiton, was highly insulting to their feel
ings, and was an unmerited attack upon
their integrity of concuft.
That it is possible imputations, falling
from such high authority, may make impres
sions, that will remain long, and affittdeep- 1
Iy, and that until they tire cleared from luch |
weighty they are fearful cf ke- j
ing virtually incapacitated from ferviHg t4rdr '
country in the fame cha rafters. Candor and
irnparti;rlity/are tr.e eIT-ntial qualifications of
a grand juryman, under a deprivation of _
which, the censure of the chief juflice tend
ed to l.iy them, when he accused them of j
delivering into court, a falfe return. Mat
ter of such fericus conf?qu?nce, falling from
the bench, rtie«?!d ue fuppoi ted on the broad
bail? of truth.
That they apprehend the Iwgnage nf af
pcfity aid menace, delivered in an ZuOiori-
.i' v ,mS
r f

" | tative firle, is unbecomingly additfTed to ;
j grand jury) who ly being regulated ill thci
cottdudt by their principles and their or.ths
not to be biassed by the'exercife of power, c
the influence of office, however elevated
They can readily conceive that precedents o
this kind (as were indeed observed and que
ted by the court) may be found in the flavifl
| tin es of the 1 udors and the Stuarts ; bu
' they arc convinced that no such instance
f have exist d, fmce liberty was fixed upon ;
permanent basis at the revolution*
Your memorialists are of opinion, that
r L ' ear conviAion in their own minds of a bil
, being " not true," from the evidenceprodviC
f ed, is a lufficient rsafon for rot fubmittin;
. it to the ulterior dec'ifion of the petit jury
. which the chief juftfee prefciibed to then:, a
, their line of duty.
That they are fully persuaded th- rcqr.ifi
, tion made to the grand jury, individually :<
give their reasons to the court, which in
duced them to return the bills they prefentct
, " not true," was an encroachment upon tb<
_ sacred rights of juries, which form thebul
. wark of our civil liberties.
_ open defiance and violation of their oaths inc
( affirmations, from the obligations ol which
. they know no authority on earth that Juis i
( dispensing power to relc'fe them.
That they solemnly pledge themfrlves, th«
! accuf.tion of the chief justice, ftigmatiaing
the jury with partiality, in refufipg to ex
, amine evidence, is ill founded, thejuryhav.
j ing deliberately and difpaffionatelv fcarched
ifitothe merits of the cafe, and having form
ed a decision thereupon, before they bad a
knowledge of any further teflimony intend
ed to be offered by the court.
In order, therefore, that the conduft of
the court may not, by our accjuiefcence un
der it, pass into precedent, and be quoted
in future cases as an authority, your meriio
rialifts conceive it an indispensable duty they
owe to themselves, to their country, and to
poftenty, to leave on record a tefiimonial
against it.
To themselves, to evidence that they
mefrit not, the inferences of perjury, which
might be drawn from the language of the
chief justice ; to theircountry, that courts
finding- that grand juries will (upport their
own rights, and, with thorn, the liberties
of the people, may not attempt to encroach
on them ; and to poflerity, that no advan
tage may refu't tc their prejudice, by our
silence.
That these benefits, arising from their
salutary interposition, may net be loft, they
pray that this memorial maybe filed amongst
the proceedings of the court

What Lieutenant General Bcllegarde had
announced previous to the Bulletin of the
22iand 23<i,ih(Tant, which his Royal High
ness the Archduke Charles had ordered to be
piibliihcd relative to the operations of Lieu
tenant General Hotze, is conn- fted with
what follows, although the inteiijjj~i.ee from
Lieutenant General Bcllegarde arrived later.
According to thi-s account, Colossi and.
Brigadier Strauch, after very fatiguing mar
ches, reached Ghiavi nna with his brigade on
the 9th inft. at which placs Col. Le Loup,
of the van-guard of General ViikaiAivich,
had arrived on the preceding day.
From the 7th the enemy had commenced
their retreat from Chiavenna by the valley
of Giacomo, leaving at the firft place 32 pieces
of cannon, of which we have taken peffef
iion.
Colonel Strauch, being reinforced with
three battalions of light troops, and the re
mainder of the third battalion of Michael
Wallis, commanded by Colonel Carneville,
piirlued the enemy to the heights ; ai.d Colo
nel Prince Viclor de Rohan went with his
fcrce to Bcllinzonc, to dispute the passage
of the Bernadin.
The Brigade of Colonel Strauch hr.d many
difficult:-: so Kirmount at Morpegon, in the
vally of C imonica. He was obliged to wait
two days at Piacta, in order to dig a road
through the snow near Cafa St. Marco, as
it wis iiiipoffible for the soldiers to march,
the fn#w oeing 15 feet deep, and not hard
enough tc bear. By this means, the commu
nication is re-eftabHflied with the principal
corps nf Lieut. General Bellegarde, Sufa
I Plantz, Jiialagio, and Caffaifch.
Denjonflntions were made for the purpose
of the enemy en the hills of Julie
and Albula, in order to lacilitate the opera
tions of Lieutenant General Hotze, whom
General Bellegarde was prepared to i'upport
on the fide of Javos and the Hill cf Abola.
Colonel Da Marieiile, of the regiment of
Clairfayt, bad brought from Abula two
pieces of cannon belonging to the enemy.
At Malagn, and at Several other places on
the road to Cb'uvcnna, were found a great
quantity of ammunition, mtrfkers, andwao.
;ons. The enemy had destroyed a part of
hem in retreating.

of tbi 14th. abore a thouf»nd more prifoneri

this affair amounted in the whole to between
three and four thouland men, '

sage from Feldkixch into the Grifon coun
try ; its natural and artificial strength is such
as to render a Jireft atf&' k upon it in front
extremely difficult and imprudent, and its
flanks are so well supported as to render it
impossible to turn it without marching over
inch mountains as might almost have been
deemed impracticable fur troops.
Ihe liifl or right hand column marched
[from Feldkirch on the great road ftraigl.t
to the Steig. The destination of this column
was to form in front of the post. to make
Inch demonftraticns as to threaten attack,
and endeavor to draw off the Enemy's at
tention frcm his right flank, and to be in rea
dmefs to pursue the Enemy with the Caval- i
ry and flying artillery as loon as the other j
columns Ihould have obliged him to aban
don tl.e Steig.
The frcond coluinft commanded by Major
General Ycllachilz, confining entirely of In
