REMOVED.
Mr. Euftis said whatever may have
been the intention of the mover to post
pone to the ift of March, and of the in
tentions of gentlemen on this or any
other occasion, he had no disposition to
enquire — the tendency of the postpone
ment ; will be to preclude a deliberate
difeuffion. Those more epnverfant
with the couife of bufmefs krtew better
than he did, the pressure of business
which necessarily crowded the la^ days
of a session ; and be was more averse
to the motion, from the avowal of an
honorable gentleman from Virginia,
(Mr. Dawson) who had risen to fcp.
port the motion, Cnd avowed bis prin
cipal reason to be, a convi&ion that the
present Congress ought not to take any
decisive measures on the fubje& of the
claims. He differed widely from that
gentleman. Independently of the mag
nitude and extent of these claims, and
of the Situation of the concerned, the
House were called upon by a ftnfe of
public duty to bellow Upon them a copl
and deliberate confederation, which on
ordinary occasions was extended to ap
plications of an individual and inferior
nature. The common course of bufi
hefs brings this fobje& to view. It will
be; recollected that at the last session of
Cougrefs, the memorials of the claim
ants were referred to the confederation
of a feled committee. That com
mittee reported a state of fads, and
closed their report with the following
words:,
“ Upon the whole view of the case,
the committee submit it to the House,
to determine whether the government
of the United States be in any reflect
bound, go indemnify the memorialifts;
and whether there be any ground for
discrimination between thec.des of foit
es sustained before the aCts of the 2%h
of May, 1795, tte,th of July, 17^8,
and the tyrh of July ffß ; and cases
of losses sustained after tho^ periods."
From the late day of the fewen in
which this report was made, noorder
was taken oh it, no ddeu&ri was had-
Mr. Bayard's resolution on the fub
jeA of French spoliations in difeuffion
—lt was moved, By Mr. R. Williams,
to be referred to the 3d March ;, in or
der to give it the."go 1,." A lengthy
debate ensued, in which the merits of
the question were difeuffed. The mo
tion was advocated by the mover, Mr.
Dawfpty, Mr. Smilie, and others ; and
opposed by Messrs. Huger, Bacon,Bay
ard, Rutledge, and others.
Mr. Thatcher said he felt gratified
at the House manjfefting more liberali
ty in giving an opportunity now tp dis
cyfs the fubje& than had been mani
felted before. Attempts made du ing
the last session to discuss the fubjeft had
ended in nothing.. This session, uhen
the gentleman frorri New-Yoik, (Dr,
Mitchell) had offered a pefolutiqn, it
had been negatived. The motion of
the gentleman from Delaware, (Mr.
Bayard) to take, up the present refolu
tian, had also been negative/ But now
a considerable majority were for taking
it into consideration. He was, howev
er, surprised at the motions for making
the consideration of the fubjed the or
der of the day for the iftand 3d of
March, sr they would in effect fiudrate
all difeuffion from the press of other
business. The fabjed was of infinite
importance—millions depended upon
the decision. The merchants were anx
ious to know the result. A state of fuf
pence was, of all dates, the mrift pain
ful to them. Why then put off the de
cision of a claim ip his opinion juft,and
to which the House ought not to &ut
their ears ?

SEVENTH
Mr. Davis hoped it would be per
mitted to lie on the table. He thought
that description of people was becom
ing extremely treubidome. Great
painshad been taken to fafisfy that class
of men! An a# was paffeq at the last
session for the sole pmpofe of their ac
commodation-yet they are not fatisfi
ed. I think it ofne to turn a deaf ear
to these importunities., and put an end
to them. A great portion of the time
of the house was lift year confirmed
upon the fubfed., Such provdion was
made as was thought proper and rea
fonaCle, and I am not now disposed to
take up the bufintfs again. If we foould
make a law that these aliens might be
come citizens the next daft after their
arrival, they would then petition for
something else. We ought to attend
to the rights and the claims of our
own citizens, and not consume our time
jri attempting to Satisfy people who, it
would seem, can tie ver be fitlsfied. : I
hope we Shall turn a defeat to this
petition and put a flop to the business.
Mr. Smilie koped it would be com
mitted out cf refpea to the petitioners,.
Mr. Bayard agreed with Mr. Davis,
that it ought to lie on the table-
The motion for commitment was
negatived 4.9 to 33.
The bill to prevent tie importation
of certain perfons,&c. was read a third
time—the parage of the bill was op
posed by Mr. Bacon ; it was finely
recommitted.
. The L&ifhlure of Virginia hive
passed revolutions approving the nfo.
fares of the Federal Executive in
demanding reparation for the unwar
rantable condp& of the Spanilb Ch
eers in flopping the navigation of $e
Mifftippi.
A fen& ofjvfti.ee to the memmWifts,
and a drong sense cf public duty, re
quire that we meet the quellion, and
come to a decision. Thole who appear
already to have judged the question
may possibly fee in the (latement* which
have been made, and the arguments by
which the claim fii'@ be fuppofted, rea
fans to alter their opinions. In any e
vent, and especially after a difeudipn,
in case of an adherence to those opin
ions they appear already to have form
ed, if they fad to produce conviction
on others, the refers on which they
ground those opinions may be ufcful to
the House, and will accompany and
juftify the vote they fhail Anally give.
When the quettinn foall be decided (and
I hope it will be in favor of an earlier
day than that shoved for) I Oral! move
that the report of the committee of !aft
winter (hail be referred to he commit
tee of the whole, together with the re
folutinn under coniidei atioa. It will
be also proper at that rime to give a
second leading to the Memorials which
have been pre entca—the grounds on
which they led their claim will be
brought again imo view, and by giving
them a hreobbuf^n and; coofjJeia
tion, we th !i be better enabled to come
to a jutt decision. Thele claims (ids

A PROCLAMATION,
Far a Da., of Public Fasting and Prayer.
A BELIEF of the agency of the
Supreme Being, in determining
the condition, as well of States as indi
viduals, induced our pious forefathers,
at the beginning of each year, to ap
point a day of Public Fading and Pray
er ; that, in joint a^s of devotion, they
might acknowledge His Providential
Government, and implore His bletfing
on their public measures, and private
concerns—- This pra&ice, which is coe
val with the fettletent of the State,
has been retailed to the pretent time,
and is Rill recommended by its own pro,
priety.
There,ore, By the advice an 1 con,
&ht of the Council, I appoint THURS
DAY, the fevent'n day of April next, to be
observed zs a day of Fading Ind Pray
er, through the Commonwealth; and
:touch the Ministers and People, of the
different religious denominations, to
alterable in their refpe^ive places of
worship on that day—that we may of
fer unto Gbn the penitent confeffion
rd our fins,and our devout Supplications
for the blessings that are necessary for
us ; and beseech Him, that through the
merits of the Redeemer,we may obtain
His forgivenefs, and be enabled to ren
der ourselves well pieafing in His fight,
by presenting him the service of pure
arid humble hearts— 1 hat He woul^
profpet the United States, and preserve
and ibengthbn theirVoiou-, That those
who at in authority in the National
and State Governments, may rule with
justice arid impartiality, and make the
laws the standard of cheir actions — That
the People, by.a careful attention to
their relative duties, may render to ev
ery man, in every Ration arid charac
ter, the eftecra and refp^ft which he
justly claims—That every denomina
tion cf chririians may prove the firmer
icy of their £iith,by fitch a temper and
conduct as the religion they profefs was
intended to inculcate and produced
And that we may all regard each
othri 's circumstances with benevolence
& companion ; and be induced,from 4
sense of cur need of thb divine clemen
cy, co exercise mutual charity and for
bearance.
;That He would save us from wafting
sickness, and continue to us the blessing,
cf health — That he would grant suc
cess to our hufoindr,,and cause the ec
filing season to be favorable to the
growth and perfection of the fruits of
the earth—Thar he would continue to
prosper our trade, manufactures and
fisheries —That he would smile on the
means of education, and that the in
ftruQors of the people and the precep
tors of youth may be eminently ufeful
in diffusing knowledge; and promoting
the interests of religion, good morals
and well regulated Society.
That He would accomplish the pre
didions concerning the prosperity and
increase of the Christian Ghurch ; when
the power and policy of its enemies shall
be disarmed , when truth and righte
oufnef; shall uniterfally prevail, and
all the ends of the earth shall fee ths
salvation of God.
