this proved avail injury to our farmers,
^ho to make their harvest were com
polled to give one dollar and a halt for
laborers, when prior to the building the
forts they never paid more than *SIOO.

As you might not have known these
things I take the liberty, illaftridus fir,

each being garrisoned with an entire
company exposes as to the inconvem
cnee of having cur town often dUiurb

rood obnoxious to the habits ofourpeo
ple. 'I returned yesterday from Boftou
where I palled a week^vi I have tae
pleasure to inform you fir, that you
answer to the Memorial of old Bill
House, (the New-Haven memorial a
'tis called) has given infinite delight
there. The Essex Junto writh again!
it, but people in genl speak of it with th.
rapture of enthuliafm. You will doub
fefs have heard from Govr. Fenner 0
the great triumph of principles in thi
date. ' bisfo complete that at the elec
tion which will come on this month for
wfembly men the lories in this town
will not make a nomination —our pre
font members will not even be opposed
In this date of things, fir, with so pro
digitally great a majority as we have,
'tis mortifying to us to fee all offices
occupied by our opponents, whose info
folence dill continues. When at previ
dence to there day, the Collector, Mr
Olney, said at the Coffee House, “ft/-
f e rfn mil!not turn me out because he cannot
find as bereft a man among the Jacobins."
This fir is not easily borne with—the
Collector Naval Officer and Supervifol
here all conduct with the fame kind of in
solence. Should Mr. Olney the Col
ie&or at Providence be dismissed I be
lieve it wd be very gratifying to our
citizens throughout the State to have
Govr. Fenner appointed Collector for
Providence. The Governor is incapa
ble of foliating Office, but I know he
wd like that, and our people through
out the date wd be delighted with hav
ing him indead of Mr. Olney. Chris
topher Ellery is a popular man here,
and would make a mod excellent Col
lector. Paul Mumford and Wm. Ver
non are also good able men. When
Mr. Dearborne was here he said the du
ties of your high station did not entirely
prevent your indulging yourfelf in ag
ricultural purfui s,and in solacing your
felf in the Gardens of Monticbebou —
My greater delight fir is the charms of
Botany, and I have lately received from
Portugal some bushes of the Daily Rfe
, this " Rose blossoms every month in
the year, and flourishes very much in
my Garden —If two or three of these
trees will be acceptable at Montichellou,
it wd give me great pleasure it you wd
receive them. Our trade here is incon
siderable, and we have none with Vir
ginia Ports; but if you will favor me
with the name of any Mercht at New-
York who would receive and forward
these trees I will have them conveyed
thither very fafely and in accepting 'em
you will confer great honor on me.—
The federal diftr Court was held here

England at Malta.
"Sir,/
" I HAD this morning the honour to state to
your Excellency the ohj<H of the mission winch
his most emm nt Highnefsthe Grand Mader of
the Order of St. John of fcrufalcm has charged
me to fulfil at Malta.
" To this ftdtement your Excellency replied,
that yal had no order to cause the iff and of Mal
a to bt evacuated by the-Eegfifh gprrifon, and
we me to underftaud, that it would be better
for the Grand Mafterkot to repair thither.
“ Alt-chawing reflexed upon thia answer
of your Ex::ixi-.cy,l was of oputian not only
(hat it was not to fottsfaaory as his most emi
nent Highntfs had reefon to expe&, but also
that it required a further explanation.
" As the answer of your Excellency seemed
0 contain a rcfufal to farrender the island of
laltato the Order of St. fobn of ferufalem corn
er nably to theloth article of the treaty es 1
l±rnu 4 and that such violation of the treaty !
i peace may have the most important, I wouldl
.ven fay,the most fatal,cot;fequencesto therepofe ;
,f Europe: I cannot rest fatifed with the ver- 1
b d answer which yourfxcellcncy has been plea
lel to give me and 1 Ihosid betray the confi
dence of the Grand Master, as well as rhe duty
id rhe dignity lelongingto the chanter with
,hich he has incited me, did I rot reqipft you,
Sir, to Rate in an implicit and authentic manner,
he grouu Is of so ufaxpe&ed a refufal.
“ 4 have the honour to remind your Excellen
cy, that conformably tg the fourth paragraph of
the 13th article of the treaty of Ameins, the
forces of hrs Britanic Majesty were to evacuate
the Bland and its dependencies in three months
after the ratifications boing exchanged, or foon
<r, if peffible.
“ This period has long expired. The treaty
adds " that the island Aiall be given up to the
Order in its present Rate, provided the Grand
Master or Comnliffioners, fully authorized ac
cording to the Hatutes of rhe Order, shall be in
the said island, take po&ffim of it and that the
force to be fernifhed by his Sicilian MajeGy
1 (hall have arrived therein.''
j " This force has iikewife long fence arrived
There then remained only one cognition to be
performed, that of the presence of the Grand
'Maftet, or his Commissioner's, to take poffef
fi@n of it. I have the honor to observe to your
Excellency, this condition has just been accom-
Iplifhed by the very aril of my arrival in this iHan 1.
His moR eminent Highness, the Grand Master
has con defeended to confer upon me the charac
ter of his Ambaffa lor Extraordinary and Pleni
potentiary, to come in bis name to " treat, con
duril,linilh, accomplish and concert, with the
Efighfn and French Plenipotentiaries and also
with the exiting English Government of the
island, all the articles relative to the Return of
the Order to Malta, and particularly what may
have for their object the debarkation and en
trance of the Order into the island, with the fur-
Ivender of the Island, &c.' f Such are the terms
lof the full powers of which I have the honor
I to fend your Excellency the armexed copy.
1“ According to the tenor of these full pow
- ers, and the accomplishment of the different
conditions stipulated by the treaty of Amiens,
for the surrender o th, fland of Malta to the
Order of St John of fcrufalem, I formally de
mand of your Excellency the execution of the
10th article, led!. 4, of the laid treaty, and I re
quest you will, upon this point, give me a cate
gorical answer.
“ I entreat your Excellency will be pfeafed
to accept the iffuiance of my high confi 'eration.

Sir, Malta, March i.
" I have just received the letter your Excel
lency did me the honor to write to me yester
day, expressing the little fatisfarition you derived
from my verbal communication relative to the
object of your mission, and requeuing that I
should Rate in writing my reasons for refufing
to deliver up the government of these islands on
the arrival of his Eminency the grand matter
of the Order of St John of Jerusalem
“ In answer, I beg leave to observe, thates
some of the powers invited, in terms of the loth
article of the treaty of Amiens, to guarantee the
independence of Malta, have not yet acceded to
that measure, I do not think tnyfelf authorized
to put an end to the government of his Britan
nic majesty in this place, until I receive fpccial
inflru&ons from my court.
“ Your Excellency observes that t wiffi to
1 dissuade rhe grand master from coming to reside
here. Your Excellency may recollect that I
spoke to you, upon this fubje&, to the fallow
ing efferii ; — Upon your observing that the
grand master expeaed r p have immediate pof
'feffion of the Palace ofGovernment in the fort of
I Vaiette, I informed you that in the present cir
: cumßanccs, I could not accede to the request of
% his Excellency ; for it is absolutely neceffry
1! that his'Excellency General Vilette, and myfelf
. should continue to occupy this Palace for the
§ official affairs of our refyedive departments.
, ' “ I beg, however, to rcminl your Exce^th
>ty.ihat I,at the fame time offered the Palace
[1 of the BoQetta, for the residence of the grand
jmafter, a ficuation which] conceived in every
refped convenient for his Eminency, until the
period when he might assume the direction of
c Government.
/ " But as the Palace of the Bbchetta is net at
, present provided with furniture I took the lib
tryofiuggerting, that it would be more conve
, nient to remain some rime in §jcily ; and the
; more so as his Excellency s telideuce there
would keep him at the distance only of a da,ls
fail from this island, t
" For the rest, Ids Eminency may be affufed,
that the moment I fhafl think myfelfauthorized
to resign the Government, I (hall give him due
information.

SPEECH:
Gentlemen of the Senate, and,
Gentlemen ofthe House ofßeferefrtatives,
WE are now entering upon the du
ties which have been aligned to us re
fpe^ively by Our fellow-citizens. Per
mit me op this occasion, to return them
my sincere thanks for the repeated
proofs of their esteem and confidence ;
and to affuie you, Gentlemen, that I
thill cheerfully concur with you in eve
ry prudent and fillutary raeafure, for
the preservation of their rights ; 'he
advancement of their interest ; and the
limprovementlimprovement of their minds in wisdom
!and virtue.
To you, Gentlemen, the legislative
lauthoritylauthority of he Commonwealth is com
mitted. In difeharging this imp t
Itant trust your deliberate reflect! ms
will be employed.to edablilh such ui vs
for the welfare of the State as yu may
think nereffary to fupp^rt and defend
its Government ; to protest property ;
to cause personal liberty to be rejec
ted; to improve our lydem of juris
prudence, and provide for the impafr-'
tial interpretation and faithful, execu
tion of the laws.,
An equal admiviftration ofjulice is
indkpenfdbly reGuifite to prefeive the
peace of the Stare,and the lights of the|
citizens, ItoprefTed with the impor- :
tance of this object, t e framers of the
constitution were particulariv solicitous
to enlure the independence of the
Justices of the Supreme Judicial
Court; so that in their legal deci
sions they might be in no danger of
partiality from motived of private
interest. It is therefore provided
by that instrument not only that they
sh ill hold their offices during good be
h vi r but that permanent &honorable
faiartes lh.il! be eftaolilhed by law for'
their lupport. A law Mas indeed paf
ed for this pnrpofe, but the compensa
tion being found inadequate, the Legis
lature for afei ies of years have made
an annual grant to the Judges to make
good the deficiency. ,If their Gated
I salaries shall itui appear to be infuffi
cient for their honoi aole support, will
I it not be more contoimable to the Con
ftuudon to increase the allowance by
An cl without a terminate limitation
than by resolves which operate but for a
single year, and which lendei the high
^ft Judicial Court dependent annually,
;for a part of their fubtittence, upon the
[good will of each branch of the Legif
ilature ?
Since the lad session of the Genera!
Court, I have received a letter from the
Picfident of the United States, which
will be laid before you by the Secreta
ry, and which enclosed a copy 01 ihe
Report of a Committee of the House of
Representatives of the National Gov
ernment ; in which the President is re
j quelled to write to the Executive of
each State, urging the importance and
indifpenfible necessity of vigorous exer
tion on the part of rhe State Govern
ments, to carry into effect the Militia
j Syftem,adopted by the National Legis
lature, agreeably to the powers fefetv
ed to the States refpe&ively by the
Constitution of the United States. Per
haps the Militia 0 this Commonwealth
was never in a more refpefyble condi
tion than at present. But if any mea
sures can be taken to carry the fy Item into
more complete effea,l have no doubt of
your dilpofitiontoadopt them. Indeed it
will always be necessary for us to culti
vate the military art, not to enable us
Ito commit outages with impunity, but
I to defend ourselves again# the attempts
I of unprincipled and ambitious men,
I who confider all means as lawful that'
; promote their ends, and ' who make!
their glory consist in (presiding misery
