THE Subscriber, contemplating the
troubles and difficulties which he
has tod'for many years to encounter
with a parent, deprived of his rational
senses, and incapable of taking care es
himfelf, eonfiders his former trouble very
trifling when compared with his prefect
affiiaioos. With painful regret, he is
constrained to make known, that he has
been in pursuit of his wandering father,
(Zebediah Farnum, between 85 ^d 90
years of age) for more than a week, and
ca'n find nothing of him. He Came into
the town street about 1$ #CT ago,,
called at feteral houses, was heard upon
Concord Bridge at a late hour wn^ even
ing, and tomeimagine they (is, his foot
fteps which ted to the river. As no
kiowledge of him is yet obtained, it is
to be feared, that his body is left in ft
water, or otherwise periled by the nr
clemercy of the weather # Should any
person discover faid^^bediah, or
remains; it is finceray hopefl
information will be communicated to a
disconsolate son.

WSDNRSDAV, DIC. 12.
rT^HIS day the Senate of the United
States, in a body, waited on the
President, and presented him the follow
ing Answer to nis Speech, delivered the
Bth inst. to both Houses of Congress.
To the PreJident of the United
States.
Sth,
^ THE Senate of the United States join
you io thanks to Almighty 'God for the
removal of the late affliding dispensations
of his Providence, and for the patriot
ic spirit, arid general prefperity of
cur country. Sympathy for tte fuffer
ings of our fellow citizens, from disease,
and the important interests of the Union,
demand of the national Legifi iture a
ready cefyeraion with the State gov
ernments, in the ofe of such means as
seem heft calculated to prevent the return
of this, fatal calamity. re
Although we have sincerely wished that
an adjustment of our differences with the
Republic of France might be effeded oh
fife and honorable terms, yet the in
formation you have given ns of the ulti
mate failure of the negotiation has not
surprised fr. Inthe general conduO of
that Republic, we have seen a design of
univrrfal influence, incompatible with
the felf government, and deftruftive of
the independence of other states. In its
condud towards these United States, we
have seen a plan of hoflility pursued with
unremitted constancy, equally disregard
, fog the obligations of treaties, and the
rights of individuals. We have seen
two embassies formed for the purpose of
Mutual explanations, and-dothed with
the most extensive and liberal powers,
dismissed without recognition, and even
without a bearing.
The government of France has not
paly refufed to repeal, but has recently
ewj&ned the observance of its former ee
dia, receding merchandize of British
fabric or produce, the property of neu
trals, by which, the interruotioil of our
lawful commerce, dud the Spoliation of
the property of our citizens have again
received a public fanaion—Thefe fa&s
, indicate no change of system or difpofi
tioQ—they speak a more intelligible lan,
guage than profeihons of folicitude# a
void a rupturd however ardently made.—
But, if after the repeated proofs we have ,
given of a sincere desire for peace, these
prose ffions should be accompanied by in
sinuations, implicating the integrity with
which it has been purlued—lf negleding
and puffing by the cor.ftitutional and au-.
thorized agents ofthe government they
are made through the medium of indi
viduals without public charaßer or au
thority—andabove all, if they carry with
them a claim to prescribe the political
qualifications of the minister of the Unit
ed Stites, to be employed in the negotia
tion, they are not entitled to attention or
^consideration, be, ought to be regarded
?as designed to separate the people from
;their government, and to bring about by

there has noting yet been difeovered in
the condud of France which can juffify
a relaxation of the means of defence i-

and generally marked. If the force by

REPLY*' ®
To the SEN ATE of the United Stores.
Gentlemen,
I thank you for this address, f } con.
formable to the spirit of our constitution,
and the eftablilhed charader of the Sen
ate of the United States, for wisdom,
honor and virtue.J
I have no real evidence ofarwehange
of system or disposition in the French re
public, towards the United State. Al.
^°.°/ b , '^ offi^ans interference of in.
dividual#, without public character or
authority, is not entitled to any credit;
yet it deserves to be considered, whether
that temerity and impertinence of indi
affeaing to interfere in public
affairs, between France and the United
States, whether by their secret cerrefpon
dence, or otherwise, and intended to im
pose upon the people, and faparaie them
from their government, ought not to be
inquired into and correded.,
1 thank you, Gentlemen, for your^f
farances that you will bellow that confid
erution, on the Several cbj°&s, pointed
out in my communication, which they
fefpeaively merit.
} If l have participated in that under.
Standing, Sincerity and constancy, which
have been displayed by my fellow citizens
and countrymen, in the most trying
times and critical Situations, and fulfilled
my duties to them, lam happy. The
testimony of the Senate of the United
States, in my favour, is an high and bon.
orable reward, which receives, as it mer
its, my grateful acknowledgements. My
zealous co-operation, in measures necef
fery to Secure usjaffice and considerat ion,
may be always depended on.

Extract from Gov. Mifglin'f
Speech to the Legfoture of
Pennsylvania, delivered on
the ]tb inst.
, [The Speech commences with Some as.
Seeing Statements relative to the late
Pestilence, among which, it is Said,
that the number ot victims amount to
3645 —He then gives his opinion of
the belt means of preventing the fu-
Iture importation or generation of a
Similar Disease. He Suggests as the
general Sentiment of all ranks, that
Canalshould be cut from th^ S<bu,k
kill and WfyTdsik" rivers, to condud
pure water to the Streets, in the city,—
and that a Lazaretto Should be ertab.
lifhed on State island, and no vessel
from places commonly in/eded be fuf
f sered to come up to Philadelphia in
the hazardous season.—He also ob
serves, that this is the last time he Shall
address them in his present capacity,
as he means to resign bis fixation.—
At the elefe of a lengthy, and hand
feme Speech, he makes the following
Polite l remarks :]
t Tbe EXTRACT:
" 'THE very feriousafped which the
I State of our national affairs baa
assumed, in relation to the Republic of
France, excites universal raftention, and
must, incidentally, aff e a the course of
your deliberations. It was reasonable to
expea. that the jealousy, with which
Belligerent powers have, at all times, an-•
nalyzed the condud of a neutral country,
would, in the progress of the present Eu
ropean war, expose the sat of our Gov
ernment to imputations of an Illicit par
'fe^j but it could not have been with.
,in tbe Scope ot a candid anticipation to
predia, & France, to whom we were
allied, even more by Sentiment than by
compad, would, under any delvftoft,
wilfully violate the rights, plunder the
property; and fpurq the friendship of a
nation whqfe independence She [her
king] had gloriously audited to eftabmh.
