AMERiai. MOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. . 1 THURSDAY, JUNE 7. - Tut Committee to whom was referred the Speech of His Excellency the Governor, reported an Answer, which was debated, and accepted ; and the Corn. mime which drafted it appointed to present the ANSWER ro THE HOUSE. MAY IT PLEAS!! YOUR EXCELLENCY, The Home of Representatives, deeply impressed with the obligation they have taken upon themselves to perform the public duties incumbent upon them, agreeably to the rules and regulations of the Con stitution, will, on their part, faithfully:endeavour to proted their Fellow. citizens in the enjoyment of their lives, liberty, and property'; and scrupulously observe the principles of the Constitution ; and con. stonily adhere to those of piety, justice, Incident. tion, temperance, industry and frugality, in the formation of the Laws necessary for the good Adrni. nistration of the Commonwealth. We are highly sensible of the importance of an . impartial distribution of. Justice to all the people, to preserve an equality among them ; and to enable them to enkiy that liberty, which, under the protec. don of Law, secures their lives and property ; and to unite them more closely together, and attach them more firmly to the State. We. pettedly and most . sincerely agree with your Excellency in your sentiments of Civil Ltherry ; in your estimation of order and regularity in Society; and in your definition of Equality. . Although it be obvious to thinking and cultivated minds, that nothing can he more opposite to Liberty, than Licentiou's'ness ; yet it is no less obvious, that by the undistinguishing, the one is frequently can. founded with the other. To a destitution of correaness of -the public sen. timent on the subjea, is uoqucsti , olably to he im. pored most. of the which have, in ancient as well as modern times, disturbed, convu.sed anti sub. veiled to their foundation's those sections of the world in which attempts have been . made to main, tam Republican.forms of Government. Knowing, as we do. know, that it is infinitely e lsier to enkindle enthusiasm, and to set on fire zeal, than to inform the understanding of man, we cannot watch too critically, or shield ourselves too .strongly' against ambitious and designing men, who assume the garb of patriotism, and emptily their talents to inflame the passions .ot the r ,, i o e , an d excite their contempt of all decency anti order. It is utterly impossible for us to hesitate to con. cur with your Excellency in - the position, that all other Equality than that of Rights, is wholly incon. sistent with the nature of things. Liberty and Equality, as defined by those Uto. pian Philosophers who have adopted this scheme, that 104,e and reason impose upon each individual every necessary restraint ; and who, with rapid strides are travelling 'on with man, to the perfetta.. bility of human nature, are highly calculated to un., dermitie all ration a l Lib ert y, .t 0 'prostrate all civi l SOCiethand to blot from the face of the earth all sorts of Government. Yuur Excellency mAy be assured, that we will spare no exertions u assist our fellow Citizens ill filming corieCt opinions , of the terms, Libel -0 and Equality. _ _ . . We are feelinglialive to the importance of the ex.. perimenr now makinginpur land, as to the capacity of the American People to enjoy petted liberty with moderation, which has hitherto proved happily sue cessfuL We shall certainly he solicitous-to cantri. Bute to its success by a faithful discharge of our duty. And we sincerely reciprocate- the sentiment, that all the of .rts of Legislative wisdom will be unavailing, without the aid of those Institutions which form the mariners and morals of the people, and which tend to inspire them with veneration for the Stipreme: Being, with reverence for just authority, and re_ spelt for themselves. To the communication of your Excellency, upon the suhjea.of the judiciary of this Commonwealth, we will most. cheerfully pay every attention that the importance . Of the subjeft, and the high respeaability of the Magistrates by whom the alteration!' of the present system are suggested, demand. The House of Representatives will not fail 'to afford their aid in detrain& the manner in which the Elettors, on the part of this Commonwealth, of Pre. sident and Vice-President of the United Statesohall be-appointed. We rely with that perfect confidence, which the purity and eminence of your Excellen4's cha. racier, and our past happy experience of the fruits of your abilities, wisdom and virtues, fully autho. rize, that you will co.operate, with the two branches of the 'Legislature, in such tneasures as shall tend to *'ender the. State respettable, to promote justice among•our fellow Citizens, and to secure to them a life of quiet and tranquillity. We at the same time beg you to accept our assurances, that we will adopt and faithfully preserve every proper means to eireduitte the same ends. We on this occasion congratulate your Excel. Jency and ourselves, on your te.eleainre to the first Executive Office of this Commonwealth. We con. cider that our fellow.eitizens, while they have paid a Tribute of gratitude to merit, have strip. wgly evinced their own' integrity, indepen. dente, and discernment i by thus again exalting you to this high btation. FRIDAY, JUNE 8. A Motion for the appointment of a Committee to report a Rilsolve, for dividing the Commonwealth into distriUs, for the purpose. of cboosing.one Elec. .tor of President and,Vice.President in each dittrid, which had before been laid on the Table by Mr. Mott.rotr, -was taken up.

'Me Funeral of that gre a t man took plate on Saturday, agreeably to the arrangement's published in our last. The Procession left.the Itotte of JOHN B. CRIMPY; Esq. about twelve o'clock, and was two hours reaching Trinity Church. The Pall was supported by . . General MATTHPW CLARKSON, OLIVER WOOI.COT,•ESCt. - RICHARD HARR Isow,Esq. ABLJAH 'Esq.

WASHINGTON MERTON, Eiq. Mr. M 45.1.- COLN, &c. -followed the Corpie as Mourners. • . _ The Procession having ariived at the Chtirch, af. ter a short pause, Governor Moak's, El. rose on an elevation in front, anti addressed the surrounding upeaators (General HAM I LTUN'S four sons, and Mr. Cttuitca being on the stage with him), — He was at first *alFeded, . that it was with difficulty he could proceed ; hut, having recovered, be recapitulated very concisely the ser. ,vices which General HAMILTON renderell his Countty as a soldier—as a statesmanantl as professional man 4t the Bar. The tollowing sen. tence had the most powellul circa upon the feelings of the- speaators—alluding to the G.nieral's cir cumstances, , he said, 4 ‘ He has left you his•fame; awl it is all the inheritance of there orphans I" turning round to General HAMILTON'S SOO5. Al er vlr. Moak is's Address, the Corse was carri'ttl into the church-yard, where the usual fune ral to.rvice was perfirineti by Bishop Mookw, and the body interred wth Milit.try Honours.

The Military made a mournful appearance ; and the funeral was highly deep arid interesting. A deep gloom pervatled,the countenances of all: the stores were a'l shin, and no business wasdnne. • . To the hon.ur of the British and French Nations, let it be observed, that the Boston Ftigateeat! Body Hook, and the ,two French Frigates in Port, had their yards crossed, , and, their.colours hoisted half mist, anti fired minute guns during the morning. Ali the shipping in port hid their colours hoisted half mast. , The Neuf-York Evening Post, u the 10 of July, contains some farther statements - concerning the late unfortunate transadion which terminated in the death of General Jima' vroN. Doubts had arisen, from contradidory accounts, _whether the General did, not. fire first at' Colonel Botta. „Tu dear op this matter, the deelaration of the Ge,.. nets!, in the. paper he wrote previous to the duel, i, referred to, together with his . con.versation wish a Gontleman, to whom he ohs.erved, that! his in tention of not firing - arose •" - from a religious sera p/e,-and did nor admit, of reasoning." After be was wounded, he observed to another Geotlernan, PENDLCTON knows I did not mean to fire at Colonel BUlilt the first time and :When in • the. .boat, he said ,to one, of the Boatineti, Jake care of that - pistol—it, is cocked,-it may go of and do mischief," From all this it is: coneltded that he was not sensible of having firedat all. But to clear up the whole,. Mr. Pe NDLF,TON, and another, ,wepi on the following day to the spot,, where, after examination, they observed that General HA . DaI L. TON'S ball went through the limb of a cedar tire, 4t the elevation ofabout t a feet and a hull from the ground, 13 or r+ feet front the. mark on which the General stoodt and about . four feet wide of the di.: red line from thence - to. colonel:Botta.

One of the parties, who was let into the secret, drops dead on the first fire!

The Cometty of iirrors is no logger a fable. There are at present in America two labouring Men, named Haag and Parker, so exactly reaembiini each other, , that on one of them being lately tried •on a charge of bigamy, some of - the witnesses swore that they knew. the prisoner to be Thomas Hoag • while others- ' as positively declared that he was Joseph Parker,.
