ANN A?OL T^ November 19.
His excellency Joon Hipfon. esquire; prelident of
Congress, an 1 tne onourable Duliel Carroll, Samuel
Chafe, and Turbutt Wright, esquires, are elected dele
gates to represent this Rate in Congress.
Philadelphia, Dec. 4.
We hear that the honourable James Duane, William
Lloyd, Ezra L'Hommed.eu, John Morin Scot, and
Egbert Benson, /quires, are appointed delegates to
represent the Rate of New York, in the Congress of the
United States for the ensuing year.
The inhab tants of this city were much pleased last
Tuesday evening, by the brilliant exhibition of a
number of transparent Scenes, deflgned and executed
by that very ingenious artist, Mr. Charles W. Peale,
who had previously prepared them for the purpose of
celebrating tl e arrival in this city of our illustrious
Commander in Chief. During the whole evening the
people were flocking from all parts of the town to ob
tain a fight of tbefe beautiful expreffious of Mr. Peale's
refpea and gratitude to the conquering Hero. The
following is a description of the paintings; but we do
pot pretend to do justice either to the elegance of the
design, or to the author's fertile invention.
AT the lower window, a ship with the British co-
Jours below the French, and the word CORN
WALLIS on the stern, emblematical, that by the as
sistance of the French fleet, Cornwallis was captured.
At the middle window, above, the portraits of hisEx
ceUency General Washington and Count Rochambeau,
with" rays of glory and in erlaceclcivic crowns over
their heads, framed with palm and laurel branches, and
the words in transparent letters, SHINE VALIANT
CHIEFS ; the whole encircled with stars and flowers de
luce.
At another window, the Temple of Independence.
The words STAM^ACT, DUTIES ON TEA, &c
BOSTON PORT-BILL, as being the firfl cause of
this ftruaur^. And the foundation of the building be
ginning with the words, LEXINGTON, BUNKER
BILL, FORT MOULTRIE, TRENTON, PRINCE
TOWN,GERMANTOWN, BURGOYNE, FRENCH
ALLIANCE, M^MOUiH, STONEY POINT,
KINGS MOUNTAIN,COWPENS,EUTAW, CORN
WALLS. The firft story of the building of the lonic
order, on the base of which were these words, BY
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE, which supported
"thirteen columns, representing the states, supporting
a frize, on which were wrote ILLUSTRIOUS SENA
TORS; and in a pediment, which covered the whole
range of columns, were wrote, BRAVE SOLDIERY,
with rays of light and support from the senate;
the pediment ornamented with the following statues,
Justice with her even scales, a flaming sword, and thir
teen stars in the glory around the figure, emblemati
cal es the juflice of Congress ; on the right, the statue
of Hope, with her anchor; and on the left, the statue
of Jndufiry, with her bee hive. The second story of
the Corinthian order, with statues in niches, with the
words, HEROES FALLEN IN BATTLE; and an
attic story, as the work compleated with the words
AGRICULTURE, ARTS AND COMMERCE, and
represented by the following statues: Agriculture, a
figure holding a fheaf of wheat on her left arm, a fic
kle in her right hand, and a plow at her feet. The
Arts represented by the statues of painting, sculpture,
and architecture ; Painting has a pallet and pencils in
one hand, and the other supporting a picture; she has
a gulden chain banging from her neck, with a medal,
on which is IMITATION; the several links allude
to the many parts necessary to be studied before a
whole can be produced ; or the combined qualifications
of an able artist : and it being of gold, to shew that
the art ®f painting cannot flourifh without it is sup
ported by the generosity of the oppulent. Sculpture
is represented by a statue, holding in one hand a mal
let and chiffel, and in the other a bust, ornamented
with laurels. Architecture by a statue, having in one
hand a plan of elevation, and in the other a square and
a plummet. Commerce by a statue, holding a globe
in one band, and the other on the prow of a ship. A
dome covers the building and finifhes with the figure
of Fame, blowing her trumpet to the east ; which may
easily be comprehended.
And at another window the genius of America,
trampling on Discord, eing a handsome female figure,
the bigness of life, eloathed in white, a purple girdle
with the word VIRTUE on it, and a blue mantle Frew
ed with stars, a fillet on her Lead, with the word PER
SEVERANCE: She holds in one hand her banner of
thirteen firipes, with the words EQUAL RIGHTS,
and in the other hand a globe with the word UNI
VERSALITY on a circular index to the globe. The
figure cf Discord with his snakes instead of hair, and
holding a torch, the flame of which turns down on him
felf.
