A Message from the President and the Supreme Ex
ecutive Council to the General Ajembly.
Gentlemen,
COUNCIL having judged it absolutely necessary,
that you should be called together before the
day to which you stand adjourned, it became their
duty to convene you accordingly, although they re
gretted the inconveniencies to which you would be
fubjeCted by meeting so much sooner than you in
tended.
The Secretary will lay before you an ad of Con
gress of the 3d of June, requiring a body of troops
to be forthwith furnifhed, with some other resoluti
ons of the fame, prior, and subsequent dates. A col
lection of papers relating to the cause of Charles Ju
lian de Longchamps, and another of those refpeCting
the late disturbances at Wyoming.
The necessity of adopting measures conformable to
the requisition before-mentioned, is so urgent, as to
admit of no delay.
The late violations of the rights and privileges of
publick Ministers point out the propriety of further
provisions, more effectually to guard the honour, re
pofc and welfare of the United States in general, and
of this Commonwealth in particular, against the li
centious temerity of individuals.
We have carefully endeavoured to prevent any
breach of the peace on account of the interfering
claims to lands in Northumberland county, but not so
fuccefsful as we desired. We mutt rely upon the
prudence and authority of your Honourable House,
for eftablilhing tranquility in that part of the state.
JOHN DICKINSON.

Extrall of a letter from Dublin, dated May 22.
" More than 300 persons, male and female, have
offered to indent themselves with the captains of the
different vessels now in our harbour, bound to Ame
rica, and have been refufed. They are at present so
full of passengers, that they take none but those who
pay, or tradesmen under a certain description. It is
imagined ten vessels more could shortly be filled, were
they to fail with emigrants to that part of the world,
from the city and county of Dublin only."
Monday last arrived here the brig Peggy, Captain
Hughes, from Port-au-Prince. By this vessel we

The damage is said to amount to twenty-five millions
of livres.
disgrace and insult his father! Does not the hand of
heaven appear in this to punish the author of a war
in which thousands of our fellow-creatures have been
facrificed to gratify tyranny and ambition ?"
A gentleman from the Northward informs us, that
the Indians are preparing to meet Sir John Johnston,
at Niagara, where he has invited them to a confer
ence. His inveteracy to these Rates, and the many
presents he has with him, forebodes nothing propiti
ous to our frontier settlements. We fear the great
influence he has among them will be used to stimu
late those restless demons to hostility.
The Oneida tribe have made a donation of land to
the Stockbridge Indians, to which they are moving
with the utmost rapidity.

Extract of a letter from Bristol, Ma, 2Z.
" After the fheriffs had made the return and de
clared Mr. .Brickdale and Mr. Cruger duly elected,
Colonel Cruger was chaired, amidst the acclamations
of a vast multitude. Mr. Brickdale was not chaired;
at which many people expressed their disappointment, t
and various reasons have been aligned, it being an
unprecedented circumstance in this city.
“ During this election many nefarious scenes were
pra&ifed ; but none appears more shocking than that
of marrying couples, after an interview of a few hours,
for the purpose of making votes, many of whom are
at this time in a state of total separation. It is said
that near one hundred marriages of this kind have
been consummated."
From the 21st of July, to the 28th of the fame
