Extract of a letter fro n a gentlemen in Phi
ladelphia to bis friend tn ibis tomn, anted
Nov. 22.
“ By a letter of late date from the
weft^rc, it appears probable that the
main body of the Federal army, under
the commeftd^f Governor L-e, will ioon
Tetron. A regiment has been rated by
"voluntary erlidment, to do duty for a
fh>rt time. About 1000 of the infro
gents, unarmed, have gone down the O
hio,and about gco^arrcec have palled that
river under preteDcecf hunting till the mil
itary force Shall be withdrawn. A con
siderable number of the abettors and lea
ders cf the infurredion have been Appre
hended and are in cutiody. It is laid'
that Bradford is wandering on the ba. Its
Os the Ohio. Meafurts will probably be
adopted ler requiring a Sufficient body of
the militia in the dilaifeUid counties, till
assurances are obtained that the civil au
thority will be adequate to enforce the
execution of the laws.

A vessel arrived at Marblehead in 47

Caps. Bompard, who commanded the
Ambuicade, has not as reported, been
guillotined. He was in prifun, at the
date of the late&accuunts,and his trial was
daily expelled.
A veffdl has arrived at New-Vork, in a

10,000 troops. With this force, every

THIS day the Senate waited on the
President of the United States, and pre
sented the following address, in answer to
his Speech to both Houses of Congress at
the opening of the session.
To the Prejident of the United
Mr. Murray, in a late debate in Con
gress, mentioned, that a letter, received
from a General Officer, dated November
13th, Bates, that 1000 insurgents have
gone down the Ohio, unarmed, and that
300 armed, had ctefled the Ohio, and
declared it is their intention to return as
soon as the arm, Should retire.
Sir,
We receive with pleasure your Speech
to the two Houses of Congress ; to it we
perceive renewed proofs in that vigilant
and paternal concern for the profpenty,
honor and happiness of our country, which
has uniformly cißinguifhed your past ad
minillration.
We fliall readily concur in such further
provjfions for the Security of internal peace,
and a due obedience to the laws, as the oc
cafon minifeftly requires.
The cffedual organization of the mili
tia, and a prudent attention to the fortifi
cations of our ports and harbors, are fub
je&i of great national importance, and to
gether with the other meafares you have
been pleafed'to recommend, will receive
our deliberate confederations.
The fucrefs ofthe troops underthe com
mand of General Wayne, cannot fail to
produce effer.tial advantages. The-plea
sure with which we acknowledge the mer
its of that gallant General and army, is
enhanced by the hope that their victories
would lay the foundation of a just and las
ting peace with the indian tribes.
At a period so momentous in the affairs
of nations, the temperate, just and firm 'po
licy that you have ptirfutd, in refped to
foreign powers, has been eminently calcu
lated to promote the great and efferuial
interest of our country, and has created
the faireft title to the public gratitude and
thanks..

Our anxiety arising from the licentious
and open resistance to the laws, in the
weftern counties of Pennsylvania, has been
increased by the proceedings of certain
felf-created societies, relative to the laws
and arimini Orations of the government;
proceedings, in our apprchenfion founded
in political error, calculated, if not intend
ed, t^ disorganize our government, and
whicn, by inspiring delusive hopes of Sup
port, have been influential in misleading
our fellow citizens in the Scene of inlurrec-
In a filiation so delicate and important,
the lenient and perfua'fiv—meafuies which
you adopted, merit and receive our affec
tionate approbation; theie failing to pro
cure their proper efteft, and coercion hav
ing become inevitable, we have derived
the higheit fatisfeclion from the enlight
ened patriotism and animating zeal with
which the citizens of New-Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Maryland and Virginia have ral
lied around the standard of government, in
opposition to anarchy and infurredion.
Our warm and cordial acknawlegments
are due to yon,Sir, for the wisdom and de
cision with which you arrayed the militia,
to execute the public will, and to them, for
the disinterestedness and alacrity, with
which they obeyed your fumrpons,
The example is precious to the theory
of our government, and confers the brigh
ter honor upon the patriots who have giv

the zealous and fteadfeft co-operation ^cf
the Senate, in the niaintainance of gov

forcibly demanding my unqualified ac-.
knowledgemenu, than the present.
Next to the confeioufoefs of upright
intentions, it is the highest pleafore to be
approved by the enlightened representa
tives of a free nation. With the fatisfac
tion therefore, which arises frem an unal
terable attachment to public order, do I
learn, that the Senate discountenance those
proceedings which would arrogate the
diredion of our affairs, without any de
gree of authority derived from the peo
ple.
It has been more than occe the lot of
our government, to be thrown into new
and delicate fixations ; and of these the
infarredtien has not been the leaf! im
portant. Having been compelled at
length to lay aside my repugnance to re
form to ar.ns,l derive much happineb,from
being confirmed by your judgment in the
necedity of decisive measures, and from
the lupport of my fellow citizens of the
militia, who were the patriotic inftru

If there ever had been a doubt as to the
Britijh aThng on the effenfae in the north
weflern frontier, the dfpatebes oj General
Wayne, read in congress this day, put the af
fair beyond qucftion.
At Jost Recovery, a great number of Bri
tijb Juldiers, with their fices blacked, as
fifed in the attack. Three Britifo efficers kept
at a dtfaace behind the assailants, and di
re&ed ts operations. Twenty-two Ameri
cans were killed, thirty wounded; and three
m s'g- If any circumfance could add to the
l ah&cn, of this behavior on the part of our
Quondam mother country, it is, that these poor
savages were led into the field with tbe great
eji rclußauce. Like the warrior in the po
ems of Ufian, tbeje people said to the Britijh
incendiaries. " the dejert is enough for us,
with all its deer and woods." Yet that na
tion could not Juffer these tribes to rest.
The HooAof the fain Indians therefore, as
well as that of the Americans, at the great
day.^of reckoning, funds in the creditor col
umn of Bug land.
It is imffibk to conceive any other species
of crimed, that places the authors in a light at
once so attrocious 'and contemptible. Were
Wayne to enter Canada, at the head of 10,
000 men, which we are very far from hint
ing that be ought to do, the whole Britijh
government in then country would crojb like

upon his information fleered such a course as
to endeavor to fall in with them.

That good man, who has resign

fidelity, integrity, patriotism &
republican principles have re
lifted almost the tongue of ca

riot, as humane as he is brave,
now finds it necessary, openly
and personally to espouse the
cause of government against the
disorganizing principles, which
have lately been sown in this
free and flourishing country.
He has, doubtless, experienced
the inefficacy of temporizing ex
pedients ; and that it is time to
try the strength of a good con
stitution and law, against the in
trigues of anarchies & factions.
He fees the mifehievbus tenden
cy of felf-created Societies, and
very openly expresses his difap
probaxion of their proceedings.
He fees, as all Americans day
fee, that the factions, bloodihed
and violence, that have disgra
ced the proceedings of the con
vention of France the year past,
can be traced to a single source,
the influence of the jacobin club
over the populace of Paris ; &
it is with pleasure we find the
father of his country using his
personal influence to difeounte
nance such pernicious institu
tions. It is with equal fatisfac
tion we fee his recommendation
to congress to provide for re
ducing our public debt, and for
indemnifying the fufferers by
the late riots in Pennsylvania.
These articles of his addreis,
together with the assurances of
his endeavors to do justice, and
live in peace with all nations,
are proofs, that unfafeinated
with power and diftinftion, he
remains the incorruptible patri
ot, and retains all his private
virtues in his public Nations
