WASHINGTON-CITY,APRIL 19.
The proceedings of the federal legislature have
developed another great feature of the republican
fvltem. An act has palled the House of Reprefea
tatives “ making, provijion for the redemption of
the W HOLE DEBT of the United States," by which
seven million three hundred thousand dollars are
annually appropriated to itsdifcharge until it Shall
be totally extinguished.
It has been said that the present administration
were hottile to the payment of the public debt ;
that they were hostile to the establishment ot na
tional credit ; that as they ardently desired, So
when they puSR/fed the power, they would fo
licitonfl, pursue, every measure calculated to Sub
vert the funding system.
Citizens of America! Mark these calumnies :
compare them with the ACTS of a republican
legislature ; and decide for yonrfelves the respect
which ought to be paid to reproaches that eman
ate from party..
The republicans, when out of power, declared
their indisposition to every unoeceffary or wanton
increase of debt, accompanied by a Solemn desire,
by measures the molt effectual to diminish and
ultimately extinguish the exiting debt.—l befe
were their profeffions. The public are now pof
felled ot their acts ;and the most perfect harmony
is found to subsist between them. Men out of
power, have not deceived the people wifrh regard
to their conduct when in power. It is to be re
gretted that the hiflory of the world furnishes few
parralelled precedents. But it is to be hoped,
however, that the precedent is of Such a nature as
Shall hereafter be observed not only by those who
created, but by those who Shall find it their inter
est to imitate it.
It Is somewhat extraordinary, nor can charity
forbear to notice it, that Nineteen members of
the House of Representatives, all of whom are
federal, and most of whom have heretofore pro
feffed an ardent desire to fopport the national
credit, and to difeharge the debt, voted against
the bill ; while every republican member in the
house voted for it.
The following are the names of the NINETEEN
gentlemen who voted AGAINST THE BILL :
Messrs. Bonde, Campbell, Dana, Davenport,
Dennis, Foster, Goddard, Griswold, Hastings,
Hemphill, Lowndes, L. R. Morris, T. Morris,
Plater, J. C. Smith, Stratton, Wadsworth, L.
Williams, Woods.
The following are the names of the FIFTY
FIVE gentlemen who voted FOR THE BILL.
Messrs. Alston, Archer, Bacon, Bailey, Bishop,
frown, Cutler, Claiborne, Cray, Condit, Davis,
Dawson, Dickson, Elmendorf, Elmer, Euftis, Fow
ler, Gray, Hanna, D. Heister, J. Heister, Helmer,

PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 21.
We have been favored with the perusal of the
report of the committee of the Senate of the Uni
ted States, on the fubjed of transporting the mail
of the United States. This report is accompanied
bv a letter from Gideon Granger, Poll- Master Gen
eral, furnifhing several statements and remarks on
the practicability and expediency of establishing
a public chain of mail stages from one extremity
of the United States to tire other.—lt appears
that the flages between Philadelphia and Balti
more, which have been the property ahd under
the management of the Poft-office department,
have in the conrfe of 3 years operation, not only
defrayed the whole expence of transporting the
mail, but actually yielded a balance of 11,030 dol
lars in favor of the ettablifhmenr. It is therefore
the opinion of the Pert Matter-General, that it
would be advifeable, equally from considerations
of economy, expedition, and security, to have the
mails' throughout the United States, under the
fame arrangement. It is hence estimated that the
expence of establishing a line of flages from Port
land Maine, to Looilville, Georgia, will amount
to 00,790 dolls. It is very properly fuggetted by
the Poft-Mafler Gen. that all other carriages for
the transportation of passengers fhoold be compel
led to give the road to the mail Coaches.
CONNECTICUT, APRIL 23.
We have obtained the votes from a few towns
in this Rate, for Governor, &c:—perhaps others
may be procured, but it is uncertain ;—wherever
lederalifrn & ignorance prevails the people will
eternally be kept in a slavish state. An ancient
and steady habit among mott of the presiding of
ficers on Freemens' Meeting day in this Rate, is,
toreceive the votes and immediately feat them
—To count them in meeting would be con
sidered as criminal, confeqnently the refillt of
election is never known until after the assembly
has met, when the people are informed that foch
Traders are elected, as the counters or tellers
% ove of. These things are not rightly man-
the votes in each and every town ought to
be printed, the freemen would then know the re
al politics of the date.

Notwithstanding the undue influence, and ex

that there will be a greater majority of Repub

B, the General Government of the United
States, in the prefen: administration, it is said
nearly four millions of dollars have been laved.
Such economy will have iucteafing popularity, it
confidently pursued, as every friend to the belt
theory of government may devoutly with. Mr.
Jetterfon has explained bimfelf upon the fubjeft
of the Betceau, a fliip restored to France. Every
measure of the administration is examined with
the fevered fetutiny. Every member tafles bis
full Share of praise and blame, as he is discovered
to be of importance to the opposite parties. We
think many members of Congress have discovered
great talents, and we have found very able men
in favour of the present admioHlration. [Sal.Reg.
A letter from the Hon. De Witt Clinton, Senator
of the U. S. for New-York, on the fubjell of the

beginning ot March, and Cotton at the end of the

June. Peas are ripe on the 10th of April, and
the Cotton crops begin to be gathered at the end
of August.
From Annapolis in Maryland, the negroes have
occasioned disquiets. The inhabitants have been
armed and upon their guard. The evils which
are to be apprehended, are serious, and may oblige
the present generation to lament the introduction
of the Africans into America.
From Antigua we learn that an earthquake was
felt in that Island on 16th March.
Congress rose on Monday the 26th ultimo.
The internal taxes will cease after the 30th day

A number ot people in Salem, colleaed at a
