On motion of Mr. Lawrence, the
engrossed bill making provision for
persons employed in the intercourse
between the United States and fo
reign nations was re-committed to a
fried committee. Adj.
Mfr. Gilman of the committee of
enrollment, brought in the bill mak
ing appropriations for the support of
government for the year 1790, and
the bill for establishing a uniform rule
of naturalization, enrolled—which
had been examined by the committee,
and found correct ; the Speaker then
signed the fame.
A motion vtas then made that the
House should go into a committee of
She whole on the bill refpeding the
South-Western frontiers.' Some ob^
jedion was made to the immediate
adoption of the motion—as interest
ing and important intelligence was
daily e±pefted from Governor Sin-
Clair.
Mr. Lee moved for leave to bring
in a bill further to suspend the opera
tion of part of the colleaion and ton
nage laws—the motion was laid on
the table.
The motion being put was carried
in the affirmative—and the galleries
were thereupon that.
Mr. Livermore presented a petiti
on from the inhabitants of Portsmouth
(N. H.) refpeaing certain duties on
tonnage ; and also praying that the
diftria court may be holdea in that
place only.
in committee of the whole House
_Mr. Boudinot in the chair.
The bill to prevent the exportation
Os goods, not duly infpeded accor
ding to the laws of the federal States,
Was taken into confederation,
Mr Livermore objected to the bill,
as an unconftitdtiorial interference
On the part of Congress with the
powers of the refpeaive States. The
Constitution, said he, lias expressly
reserved to the several States the pow
er of making their own infpeftion
laws and the pdwer of executing them
is inseparably connected : Those laws
will doubtless be executed without
an interference on our part.
f Mr. Smith (S. C.) observed, that
the objed of the bill is to make it
the duty of the colle^rs to attend to
the execution of the State infpedion
Laws, it having formerly been the
duty of the State Collectors : Since
the appointments were made by the
United States, the officers did not
conceive themselves bound toebey a
fay particular attention to those laws. 1
Several other gentlemen spoke on
the fubjed, and the great importance
of ftfch laws, and their pandaal exe
cution were enlarged on.
The committee finally agreed to
some amendments, which were adopt
ed by the House ; and the bill was
ordered to be engrossed for a- third
reading on Monday next.
In committee of the whole on the
Bill for accepting the cession made by
the State of North Carolina of cer.
tain lands therein described.
In the preamble to the bill, the
words " The Honorable," were pre
fixed <6 the names of the Senators
from North Carolina,
Mr. Page moved that those words
Should be (truck out, He observ
ed, that however honorable the gen
tlemen might be, ind he was read,
to acknowledge they were tuly so ;
yet, agreeable to the uiage Os the
House, he conceived there was an
impropriety ift giving anyti les. He
hoped never to fee the time when a
legislative fan&ion fhnuld be given to
such diftinainns. If a permanent a.
riftoeracy was ever established among
it would be through this medium :
Such titles have been prod^ve of
infinite mifehief in other countries :
They are anti-republican, and as
fifth cannot be conferred with any
propriety by this house.

MONDAY, MARCH 29,
The committee of the whole house,
to whdrti was referred the report of
the committee on the memorial of the
people called Qinkefs, and of the
Pennsylvania and Newyork societies
for promoting the abolition of slavery
agreed to the following which was
entered on the journals :
That the migration or importation
of such persons as any of the dates
now exiting /hill think proper to ad
mit, cannot be prohibited by Con
gress prior to the year 1808.
That Congress have no authority
to interfere in the emancipatiori of
flares or in the treatment of them
within any of the States, it remain
ing with the several states alone, to
provide any regulation therein, which
humanity arid tide policy may re
quire.
That Coftgrefs have authority to
restrain the citizens of the United
States from carrying on the African
trade for the purpose of supplying
foreigners with (lives, and of provi
ding by proper regulations for their
humane treatment,, during the pas
sage of flares imported by the citizens
into the said States admitting such
importation;
Mr. Oilmen of the committee cf
enrollment, infor medthe Houfe —,
that the appropriation and naturaliza
tion bills were presented to the Pre
sident of the United States for his
approbation, the 2,h inlh
Adjourned to Monday.
Mr. Sedgwick observed, that if
the Hon. gentleman was ready to ac
knowledge the Senators from the date
of North Carolina were truly honor,
able charaders, he could fee no mif
chief ar impropriety in faying so;
it comports with the usage of the se
veral States : But, he considered it
as a matter of trifling consequence,
and hoped the committee would not
spend time in altercating the fubjed.
Mr. Page made feme reply to Mr.
Sedgwick, and the vote being taken,
it passed in the affirmative by a great
majority, and the words verb struck
out.
The proposition for the affumptidrt
of the State Debts^being read, the de
bate on the fubjed was renewed, and
Continued until near three o'clock,
when the committe rose without corn
thing io a decision.
The motion being put, it passed in
the affirmation —31 members voting
in favor of it.
The order of the day being called
for the Speakers read the fifth refold
non of the report of the committee of
the whole House on the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr. Gerty moved that all the ,ro
pofitions subsequent to that for affum
ing the State Debts mould be recom
mitted to a committee of the whole—
He observed that these are so insepa
rably eonneded with the foregoing,
that those who confider the whole as.
fumption as an object of importance,
have associated the subsequent propo
rtions with it,and cannot confidently
vote for the latter, but in reference to
the former;
This occasioned debate.
It was opposed by Messrs. Carroll,
Stone; Seney; Jackson and William,
son ; and fapported by Messrs. Bland,
Vining, Lawrahce, Burke and Wadf
worthi
The House then went into a com

Toe following remarkable irft4r.ee of a
Dream <was related by the laseMr.Cat
cott, a worthy clergyman, of Bristol
in England.
A Gentleman, a friend' of Mr.
Catcott, observing to him one morn
ing, that he had been math alarmed
the night before by a dieam so strong,
lively and difttua, that no length of
time would efface it froffi his recol
lection.
SUCH trouble banish from yourfiind,
The accident was not unkind.

Than all the teas bro't from the Eafl ;

The latter bears a different name,
And turns our glory into frame.
That a woman, whom he ciredfl
ftrintially described to Mr C. had ap
peared before him, and made an at.
tempt upon his life; and that this
visionary murdrefs was so Wrongly im
pressed upon his memory, that he dill
(huddered when he thougt of her.—
Mr. C. smiled, and the fubja was
changed.
About a dozen years after, as the
gentleman who had the dream was
travelling in Germany, what were his
horror and amazement on reaching
the irtn where he was to sleep, when
he beheld the ver, woman (precisely
the fame in dress, person and feature^)
whom he had seen in a dream, in
England, twelve years before ! He
consulted with his Terranes, and they
retired after sapper to a two-bedded
chamber, where they Uy ^itli cocked
piftcls and beating hearts, attending
the eVent. Accordingly; after all the
family had retired to rest, the door
of the apartment wad pushed open,
and the woman made her appearance,
with a weapen in her hand 1 The
Englilh travellers, however soon se
