The Senate of Peunfylvania have
negatived the bill from the House of
Representatives, providing for the choice
of Eledors of a President and Vice-
President of the United States, by a
joint vote of the members of. the two
houses. Whereupon, Mr. Gurney read
inhis place a new bill, and with the
permiflion of the Senate, presented the
fame to the chair—The Clerk having
also read the bill, the Senate, on mo

Johnson, resolved itfelf into a commit

taking the fame into consideration ;—
after some time, the chairman of the

* We are on the rack of impatience for news
from Lancaster. The house has passed a bill
for a joint ballot, 56 to 20. —If the Senate con
cur, Jefferfon will have fifteen votes in this
State—But 1 pray Heaven they may not. —The
Governor, the Aurora, and every infernal spirit
that can be conjured from “ the daftly deep," are
endeavoring to bully the senate out of their
independence ; and I am fearful the league of

tinue firm, their names will be enrolled on the
tablets of eternify, as the political Saviors of
their country.
" The jefferfon ticket, as was to be expected,
has been strongly supported in Virginia. I
have seen the Votes in nine counties, and Rich

but 468. —However I am told that one of the
fuccefsful ticket will vote for Mr. Adams in any

Y a gentleman direct from the city of Waffi
ington, Arrived last evening, we have receiv
ed the following information :—That on Sat
urday evening last, about 7 o'clock, p. m. a fire
broke cut in the building occupied as the'War
Office,fuppofed to have commenced in the cham
ber of the Secretary himfelf, and into which
fire was fiercely ever admitted. A great por
tion of the books atd papers were destroyed ;
those of the accomptant were saved. The a
forementionea building, belonging to Mr. Jo
seph Hodgfon, with one adjoining, belonging to
Mr. Jonathan Jackson, were consumed, not
withstanding the exertions of the citizens. 1
In addition to the above, we have just learnt,
by a letter from Washington, that Mr.'Dexter's
apartment, in which the fire originated, had
been locked up for the last two weeks, the Sec
retary having gone on a journey to the north
ward for his family. Mr. Wolcott, with one
of the clerks who firft difeovered the smoke is
suing from the Secretary's chamber, burst open
the door, but they were instantly repelled, al
most fuffocated, and retreated with difficulty
from the 'flames, which instantly spread over
every quarter of the building.
Mr. Dexter himfelf arrived at the unhappy
moment of conflagration, very much injured by
a fall from his carriage, which overfet in that
A letter, dated Washington, Nov. 8, £2 o'-
clock at night, states, " That two small engines
and about fifty buckets ofc various kinds, with a
bad fupplv of water, -was all the means they
were poffiffed of to flop the fire. The account
ant saved the gre^teft part of his papers, but
all the rest were burnt. One house and the on
ly one adjoining it, was burnt, owned by Mr.
Jonathan Jackson, who died about fig hours
previous to the fire—his children and furniture
were saved. The fire exhibited a dreadful
feene, as it raged without ,contreul —all their
efforts being ineffectual."
Another letter, dated 7 o'clock, in the even
ing, fays, " I was alarmed by fire in the city.
We all ran as usual, and behold it proved to be

volved in uncontroulable flames. It fortunately
happened that the office had been kept in a
house not adjoining any others, for had there been
an hundred, they must have all gone. The Ac
countant's department was in the fame build
ing ; but he had the good fortune to save the
greatest part of his papers—the books and pa

How it originated nobody knows ; but it is
presumed that the experience we have had in
this case, of the want of engines, buckets, &c.
will induce those whom it concerns, to pro
vide againtt the recurrence of such distressing
calamities. We had but two small engines, illy

BOSTON, NOV. 19.
On Saturday, anchored in Nantafket Roads,
the United States frigate Boston, George Little,
Esq. commander, with her prize, the French
national corvette Le Berceau, commanded by
citizens Louis Andre Senes, captured on the
12th carter, in lat. 22. so, N. long. 51, W.
after an action of one hbur and forty minutes. Le
Berceau mounts 22 French nine, and 2 twelve
pounders on one deck ; and had on board at the
commencement of the action 230 men. Her
loft was 35 killed, and a number wounded.—
The force of the Boston, is 24 twelve and 6
nine pounders, and 230 men. The names of
the killed and , wounded on board the Bofah,
arc=- William Ford, Toon Higgins, Matbias Ja
fey, and William M'Kee, killed ; Mr. Samuel
Young, Purser, Thomas Hartley, and Nathaniel
Dill, wounded, since dead ; and Mr. % M.
flajweU, midihipman, George Groom, Gavin Wil
kinjba-w, Francis Rise, John Runlet, Francis Fran
cis, John Alford, and John Collins, wounded and
likely to recover. The Prize loft all three of
her masts, and was very much disabled. The
Boston is much injured in her malts, spars, rig
ging, and fails, which obliged Capt. 'Little to
return from his cruise to refit. We are inform
ed, Capt. Little, has expressed in strong terms
his approbation of the condn& of his officers
and crew, during the action; and considered
that it would be injbftice to the commander of
Le Berceau, not to Bate that he gallantly de
fended his ship as long as she was capable of
making a defence.
Le Berceau had been out from Cayenne, 25
days, during which she had plundered two A
merican vcffels, and marie prize of one. On a
former cruize, she had captured several Ameri
can, and a great number of Portugutfe ships
from Brazil.
On the ift July, left the Streights of Sunda,
and on the loth August the fleet separated in
a violent gale of wind, off the Bank of Lagullas,
where the Essex had arrived the day before,
that Island having been previously appointed by
Capt. P. the place of rendezvous for the fleet,
in case of separation where he would wait 20
days. Left at St. Helena, ships Dominick Ter
ry, Juno, Nancy, and brig Lydia, belonging to
the fleet, and the remainder daily expected,
We cannot help expressing our grateful ac
knowledgments to Captain Preble, for his great
assiduity to keep the fleet together, and in ren
dering them all the assistance in his power; and
to forward the progress of the whole, by towing
such as were dull failcrs.
Capt. P. was very much hurt in being oblig
ed to abandon the ptirfuit of the Frenchmen,
to return to the protection of the fleet. Had
there been another of our men of war to have
proteaed them in the abfente of the Essex, she
would certainly have overtaken them, as she
fails remarkably sass ; there is rio doubt but
those pirates will materially injure our trade in
those feat. It hid beat very fichly in Batavia#
A variety of circumstances renders this cap
ture of more importance than appears at the
firft cafL— Le Berceau is. confidcred as one of
the faded failing corvettes in the French navy ;
she served as a jook-out vcffel to the French
fleet for eighteen months; —has frequently been
chafed by the Britilh cruisers, and was never
overtaken before; —she has been very fticcefstul
in capturing BritiJb, Portuguese & American vefi*
fels ,• and was bound this cruise to intercept the
American Indiamen, and South-American (hips.
Capt. Senes, has been Post-Captain in the
French navy for many years ; and was a mid
shipman in Count d' Eflainfs fleet, in this har
bour. He has been in several engagements, and
is esteemed a brave and intelligent officer.

FROM, BATAVIA,
By the brig Globe, William Gardner from
Batavia.—On the 15th May last, the United .
States frigate Essex, Edward PrQle, Esq. com
mander, arrived at Batavia. Capt. P. gave no
tice that he had come out to convoy the Ame
rican trade to the United States; that he
should fail by the middle of June, that being
about the time the vessels (than at Batavia)
would be ready. Four days after the arrival of
the Essex in Batavia roads, Capt. R without
waiting to indulge himfelf or crew, after so
longa passage, failed on a cruize, and on the
9th June returned to Batavia, no French crui
sers being in the Streights.
On the 17th the Essex failed from Batavia,
with a fleet of 14 fail of merchantmen, viz.
Ships China, Jofiali ; Dominick Terry, Flem
ming ; John Buckley, Stockley ; Dispatch, Ben
ners, and brig Delaware, Dunphy, of and bound
to Philadelphia.—Ships Nancy Hobbs. Small
wood, Sanford ; Hebe; Hayward, of and bound
to Baltimore. Brigs Lydia, Barnard ; Sally,
Hall, of and bound for Boflon ; brig Exchange,
Webb, Salem; Lapwing, Clap, N, York; ship
Juno, Smith, Rhode-lfland ; —Left at Batavia,
ship Magins, Hully, to fail in a few days for
Philadelphia ; ship Rebecca, of do. M'Kcever,
bound to China; ships Mercury of Boflon,
Franklin, and Fair American, and a brig, name
unknown, all of Charleston, last from the Ri
ver, Plate, destination unknown. While bear
ing down the Streights, information was receiv
ed by Capt. Preble, that a French privateer
had arrived and captured, on the 15th, in the
Streights, an American ihip called the Alk
nomack, Capt. Vickers, of Baltimore, bound to
Batavia, and that the Captain, Supercargo and
crew had been landed on Java, among the na
tives. —The Privateer was named La Confiance,
commanded by one Surcouf, mounting 18
nine pounders, and two 24 pound carronades,
and 250 men, from the Ills of France, and who
came on purpose to intercept the Americans.
The next day the Frenchman was in fight of the
fleet. The Essex immediately chafed, biQjght
coming on and falling calm, the Frenchman
with the assistance of sweeps, efc<tped the vigi
lance of Capt Preble, who returned to the pro
tection of the fleet. The day following Capt;
P. received information of the arrival in the
Streights of another French ship of war from
the Isle of France, mounting 32 guns, and cx
cluflve of sailors, had 150 f&ldiers on bound.
On the 25th difeovered a large ship of war
approaching the fleet, Capt P. immediately
made the finals for the fleet to anchor, and gave
chace. The ship, which no doubt was one of
the French cruizers, made off as faft as possible,
but falling caln,,and the assistance of her numer
ous sweeps, enabled her again to escape the Es
sex, though while the breeze lasted, the Essex
overhauled her faft; no doubt had Capt. P.
came up with either or both, he would have
given a good account of them, his officers and
men being in high spirits and very anxious to
fall in with the Frenchmen.
The Btfon expended upwards of 2)00 wt.
of powder, about isoo round fhot,befides dou
ble that number of chain, double headed, and
grape, during 'the action.
The prize is now commanded by Lieut.
Hafwell, firft Lieut, of the Boston.
The Corvette measures 120 feet upon her
gun deck, and nearly the width of the Boston,
Capt. Senes and a Cominiflioner who was
in Le Berceau, after beihg on board the Boston
15 days, were, at their request, premitted to go
to Barbadoes on parole ; they took passage in a
vessel bound to that place,

FRENCH CONVENTION.
The New-York Commercial A dvertifrr, of
Tuefday last week, fays, " Frora an authentic
source, we learn, that the Convention conclud
ed with France by our Envoys does not adjust
the past differences and claims of the two coun
tries ; but postpones that bufinefe until peace in
Europe. It however puts an end to cxifting
hostilities, and provides for an amicable inter
course during the war—as alio a mode of de
termining causes that may occur relative to
prizes.''
The following is said to be the state of the
Sreft fleet : Ft is divided into two squadrons, or -
lines ; one without the harbor, composed of
eight three deckers, and four (hips of 90 guns.
The second consists of seventeen ships of 74
each. Both squadrons have springs on their
cables. In the bay of Bofcanvel there are elev
en 74's and one ship of 80, with springs on their
cables, to answer either line ; and each ship has
400 troops ready to be difemharked,to reinforce
she camp of Quelerne, which confids at present
of 3060 men. The lines at Quelerne are 750
toifes in length, and are defended by 72 pieces
of large calibre. These intrenchments are re
markably strong. ^
An expedition hasffeen fitted out of France,
to make new difeoveries ; ordered by Buona

The Reign of Terror is about to com
mence in the United States. The success of the
anti-federal candidate for Congress in Boston,
has encouraged the sanguinary jacobins to pro
pose hanging in Effigy those who voted for the
Federal candidate, Mr. Quincy, a man of as un
blemished a political character as erifts in Mas
sachusetts. A writer in the Bfon Telegrape
of the sth infant, recommends it to the people
to " bold up fueb charaDers in the fame dfgraceful
view as they suspended the arch-traitor Hvtcbin
fort." —May their names be publijhed monthly, and
read annually in toum-meeting." —This is their
pure republicanism—this is the Liberty which
the leaders of our pretended Republicans wish
for, and this is the fort of government which
we shall soon have, if the people eledt French
politicians to take charge of our public con
cerns !!!!!! [Concord Courier.)
A traveller, who has lately returned from an

zeal to promote the diffemihation of knowledge
in that part of the world, the town of Vaffal

falfehoods as the Ledger teems with, to
be palmed on the Public without notic

serted the British treaty had cost the
United States Forty-nine Million and
fifty Thousand dollars—when if the
young unexperienced Printers of that

requested the insertion of said piece,)
to your paper of the 25th of Odober

a corre& statement from under Gov.
fay's own hand (verified by the Trea

making of said treaty, which only a
mounted to barely twelve thousand
dollars and 36 cents.
I fear the imprudent publication of
such abominable misrepresentations &
falfehoods will very foon' bring those
Young Printers into difficulty.
At the present alarming crisis, the
baneful influence of French philosophy
and misrule is making rapid advances
to the subversion of order, religion, and
that happy government, organized un
der the aufpicies of our illuflrious de
parted Washington. It is utterly im
pradicable to future liberty, Tafety, and
happiness to any country,however free,
and however unexceptionable their con
flituted authorities may be, where
knowledge and good morale do not
generally prevail. Where the people
govern themselves, as is the case in
this country, knowledge is absolutely
necessary to difeern wherein their true
interest consists, and enable them to de
left and avoid the snares of the wilely
demagogue, who wears peace, honour
and patriotism on his tongue )whilft his
heart is the feat of the fouleft ambition,
or enslaved by the partions of affec
tion or hatred to other nations, wrecks
the best interest of his country to gra
tify the one or the other objeft of his
withes; It can be no longer denied or
concealed, that this once happy and
united people, are now divided by the
intrigues of a daring faction, whole lea
ders, loft to every noble sentiment of
the foul, loft to every virtue that should
diftingnifh man from the brute creation,
impiously railed their parricidal heads
against the government affording them
every proteHion & reasonable enjoyment
and filling the presses with their corrup
tions arid blasphemies, threaten desola
tion and ruin to the Arts, with every
inhitution, human and divine ; and all
the horrors of anarchy ai&fidelity.
From the machinations of these
monsters, let us confidently frepofe our
hope of salvation in that spirit of en
lightened freedom that fuccefsfully
guarded us and our fathers in that ar
uous draggle that gave a national be
ing, with liberty and happiness to the
American nation. That tempered spi
rit, free from little jealousies and dis
trust, we believe, can never be surren
dered but in death by a generous peo
ple; however for a time it may appear
to dumber, awakened by the guar
dian genius of otir land, it shall, with
new fire, pervade every American bo
fbm. Then the slanderers of a Wash

merited contempt, shall howl out their
lives amid the curses and execrations

John Codman, Esq. was ele&ed to supply the

that Mr, Codman was appointed to fill the feat
