be reduced.

Mr, Sedwick moved that the
House fhouldgo into aComtmt
tte on the bill front the Senate for
eftabhfhing a purveyor of public
iuppiies, with a salary of two
thousand dollars. /If the thing
was proper at all, it ought to be
entered into immediately:
The Houle accordingly went
into a Committee on the fubjed.
Mr. Cobb in the Chair.
After some conversation, the
lubjed was refered co a felcd Com
mictee.
The House, on motion of Mr,
W. Smith, went into a Commit
tee of the whole in order to take
into consideration the report of
the leled Committee on a plan for
difeharging the national debt.
JANUARY 15*
The House went into a com
mittee of the whole,-Mr. Cobb in
the chair, on the report of ihe feted
committee on "the redodion of the
public debt.
The second resolution in the re
port was under th? cdhfideracion
of the committee, and is as fol
lows: ’ /
Refolded, That jhefeveral dauf
* es of limitation, in the ads for lay
ing duties and taxes on manufac- j
tured fugarand fnuff, on licence^ |
for retailing winCs and fpiritous
liquors, of Tales at audion, and
on carriages, be repealed, that the
said several ads be continued in
force until the year 1801, and
that the monies arising therefrom I
be appropriated io the discharge I
of that portion of the public debt
which is redeemable by law, fub
jed, however, to a fubftitucion of
other duties or taxes of equal value I
to all or any qf the said duties and I
taxes. - . I
Mr. Nicholas moved to strike I
out the words fugdr and, from the I
refol ur ion.
This motion occasioned a
lengthy debate, which lasted till
the hour of adjournment, and was
not then decided.

From EUROPE.
The fortrels of Luxeniburg, is one of 1
the strongest in Europe 5 the garifoo con- .
fifts of ten rhoufatd men ; and the inhab
itants not disposed to endure a siege, are
permitted to depart. - But the French mode
of conquering, will probably, save the
trouble of a long siege—they defeat the
covering army and cut off alt possibility of
fuccon«<»and it is then madness in a gar
rison to sustain a bloody siege
. By not (offering the treasure, of Holland,
to be landed in England, without paying
the duties, England has driven them to the
Elbe. At Hamburg there is more proper*
ty than can be stored.
Phe third payment of £300,000 sterling
part of the Bricilh subsidy to the King of
Pruflia, has arrived at Hamburg.

- “ A fcbooner from Gdtdaloupe it sfhore
I three miles to the weft ward of dvr Light

We are allured that the Carpenter of

at several criulTes, which the miH
tary only could quell—the folicit

have treated the prisoners with
great lenity and generosity; ' Mr.
Erskine, molt ably managed the
defence of the prisoner, to whom
the populace (bowed their senti
ment and their gratitude, by un- .
harnefling his hbrfes, and drawing
him in triumph to his house, who
congratulated the people in a Abort'
address. Hardy also, who strove
to avoid it, was dragged in triumph
through many streets to his fad
. home, for, alas, his bosom friend,
\his wife; had died of grief.— The
other trials were to come on the
rath Nov. This one trial fills
fROM EUROPE.
The latest accounts are really
pleating, particularly that which
establishes a precedent for thedif*
charge of all the prisoners in En

ton; viz. the verdict of the jury
upob the trial of Hardy, late Pre*
fident of the corresponding fociery,
which was, not guilty. A reform
in parliament was the principle he
had espoused. There was a form
