INFATUATION.
This nation is Certainly verging to a crisis,
which no wisdom, no experience, no couu
sel, appears adequate to check or stem —
With the example of Massachusetts before
our eyes, the ruin and bankruptcy and de
preciation of credit, as well as morals, that
have been exhibited, by the multiplication
beyond all measure, of banking institutions ;
within a week a new bank, called the Me
chanics’ Bank, has sprung «p, the first no
tice of which, is the circulation of its bank
paper; the run for signatures to the stock
was so great, that six or seven hundred per
sons could not obtain access to the place of
subscription.
In an hour afterwards, anew bank, to be
called the Commercial bank, v/as proposed
at the coffee house, and a million of dollars
was said to be subscribed before noon.
In tlje course of the day, banks, to the
number of Jive additional, were in agitation ;
and all oftuem expected to be in full blast,
and bringing in, besides shaving apparatus,
seven per cent, per annum, and a rise of 25
per cent, upon the principal iu a few
months!
At the same time we hear of banks start
ing up like mushrooms in all our inland
towns; Lancaster, which had already a
branch bank, has had another established
within a few weeks; another is in motion
at Harrisburg, another at York Town, there
is one at Reading, one at Easton, and one
at* Washington, Pennsylvania: there are
two at Pittsburg; and we may expect to see
the whole property of this nourishing state,
and all its useful industry and frugal habitsj
about tube sunk into the den of sordid spe
culation ; to the ruin of innocent private fa.
milics, to the enrichment of the cunning and
profligate; and to Hie total discicdit of this
prosperous state.-Aurora.
The "Federal Republican” states it as a
fact, (No. 1.) that Don Onis was authorised
by his government to settle the disputed
boundaries of Louisiana, and guarantee to
this country the payment of S 8.000,000 as a
remuneration for depredations committed on
our commerce:
Also ana fact, (No. 2.) that thirty-three
members of Congress are of the EreticU par
ty: *
As a fact, (No. 3.) that the “dismissal
ot Mr. Jackson” was announced at Paris
before the arrival of that minister in this
country could be known :
As a fact, (No. 4.) that the mission of
John Quincey Adams is connected with the
northern confederacy:
As a fact, (No. 5.) that General Smith
[ til these facts would not be worth a button,
without General Smith,] owes bonds to the
present government of Spain, to the amount
of about S 300.COO.
Now let us have somc facts on the other
side:
It is afact, (No. 1.) that Don Onit's go
vernmnint will forthwith be at an end—and
that any engagements entered into with
him, would soon become nugatory, and only
tend to involve us in trouble.
It is a* goad a fact, (No. 2.) that there
are forty seven of the British party in Con
gress.
It is a fact, (No. 3.) that the " dismissal”
of Mr. Jackson was not announced at Paris
— 1 o be sure an article is said to have ap
peared in a French paper, which stn'ed Mr.
Jackson '‘hud been rejected.” Mr.JacksQii
was not " rejected,” but received politely ;
aud would have continued an accredited mi
nister, it he could have forgotten his Copen
hagen tricks.
It isa fact, (No. 4) that if Mr. Adams
shall make any arrangement with the north
ern powers, which may tend to protect the
freedom of the seas, and every nation but
England shall ratify it, that the ‘ British
party :n America* will naturally be very
angry about it, and abuse all who may have
any concern in it.
it is a fuel (No. 5.) that if Gen. Smith
owes bonds to the government ot Spain, he
.vill pay them.Baltimore Evening Post.
HOUSE OF liEF R E S £ A T. I FIVES,

Gen. Maltby had leave, and laid on the
table the following motion :
Resolved, That a Joint Committee be ap

lature on tiie present alarming state of our
foreign relations, and on the causes which
have produced it; and whether auv, and if
any, what measures may be adopted to pre
vent the evils ol impending war.
The question to agree to inis motion, was I
opposed by Messrs. Bangs, M’Fahlahd
and Morton, who wished to inquire into
the object contemplated to be reported «n.
The mover, (Gen. lM.) replied, that he j
km w of no tule of the House which requi )

on tlie motion to raise a Committee ; and I
that he had imagined that the objects of his \
motion were sufficiently alluded to in it.

ANSWER TO GOVERNOR’S SPEECH
The order of the day, to take into cons'all
ration the reported address in answer toihe
speech of his excellency the Governor, be
ing taken up,
Mr. Banos (of W.) after remarking that
he could see nothing in the concluding para
graphs of the report which could be coiisi
dered as answering any tiling in ihe Gmer
nor’s conciliatory speech, moved, that nil
that part of the answer which related to the
foi eign relation* -if liiw U. States, be stricken
out.
A long debate ensued.—The motion to!
strike out the paragraphs alluded to, was
| advocated by the mover, fMr. Dangs] in a!
I speech of 0.5 minu es; bv Mr. Moody (of
i Saco) and Mr, M’Frrland, in short speech- 1
rs ; Mr, Morto*. o' 1), in a speech of about
i half an hour ; Mr. Crowninshicld, in one of
nearly the same length ; and Mr. Greene of
ID. in a abort speech.
1‘lie {notion was opposed by Mr. Chan
uing, in a speech of about one hour; by IXIr.
Whitman, in one of 3u minutes; and hy Mr.
Jackson, of B. in a short one.
1 he various topics which imve arisen out
ot events respecting the political relations of
cur country with the belligerent nations,
were repeated on both sides, and descanted
upon . and the debate continued until 7 o’
clock ; when the mhlion to strike cut was
negatived, by Yeas and Nays.

The question on accepting the Answer ns
reported, recurred; and passed without a
discussion ; and the Committee which rep or*
fv'ttCi'!IeBS,s- Jackson, of B., Bangs. Cutler,
of N. Y. Ware, of W. and Hough, of Ci.)
were ordered to present the same to his Ex
cellency.
The folIowRjg are the passsage? above
alluded to. in the answer of the H. of R. to
the Governor’s speech :
* 1 he people df this com own wealth are
most deeply concerned in the chdnge which
has taken place in our national affairs since
the last session of this legislature. "If the
United States should he involved in war, it
is obvious, that not only the sacrifices and
privations occasioned by it, would fall most
heavily on the commerc.al states, but also
the resources to maintain sucli a war, must
be drawn principally from them. But how
ever great might be the exertions and sacri
tV'es required in a just and necessary war
we confidently trust, that the people of this
commonwealth would always cheerfully sus
tain them ; and forgetting all party dislinc
tions 8c local interests, would cordially unite
to mainta.nthe rights and vindicate the ho
nor of the nation. In such a state of things,
the administration will be encouraged and
strengthened by that approbation of their
measures, which evety patriotic citizen
will. eadily bestow. But when, on the other
hand, the people are alarmed by the prospect
ot a war, the justice and necessity of which
they do not clearly perceive, it is their so
lemn duty, as well as right, to express their
opinions trr.nkly and unequivocally. With
these impressions, tlie House of Representa
tives cannot refrain from declaring these
deep anxiety and concern at the late
rupture of the negociatiomwith the minister
ot one ot the belligerent nations. At the ter
mination of even a prosperous war, we shall
still have the present differences to be com
promised and settled by' amicable negotia
tion ; ami it cannot be presumed, that after
along and sanguinary conflict, either party
will enter nil the discussion with feelings
inoie conciliatory' than those which now ac
tuate them. When, therefore, all that can
be reasonably expected from successful war,
seemed to have been attainable by treaty ;
at the moment when the minister referred
to was producing full powers from his go
vernment, to settle amicably and permanent
ly fill the controversies between the two
countries, it is in a high degree distressing
to see the negociation broken off, for causes
which we are unable to comprehend.
“ We are far from imputing to our nation
al rulers, any intention or desire to involve
us in war ; but the consequences of this
rupture may not be under their control, and
may lead unhappily to that calamitous, issue,
i he subsequent acts and measures of the go
vernment are not calculated to quiet these
apprehensions, nor do they appear to us to
promise a restoration of friendly intercourse.
Invidious restrictions on the trade of foreign
nations, with whom we are commercially
connected, naturally tend to produce retali
ation on their part ; and every act, even of
self-defence, which they may' adopt, w ill, in
tuis species of warfare, be considered as a
new outrage, and be represented as a new
cause ol complaint.
I bus although neither party may in
tend to provoke hostilities, and though there
is confessedly no sufficient cause for war at
present; yet in such astate of mutual irrita
lion and accumulated collisions this seems
to be tlie inevitable result. *?n concempia
ting this gloomy prospect, it adds greatly to
our alarm and apprehension to consider
that such a war would bo waged against the
nation which forms tlie only remaining bar
rier against the universal domination of a
single power; and still more that it would
probably entangle us in an alliance with that
power whose friendship has proved fatal to
the Independence of so many Republics and
States.
“ 1 House of Representatives will rea
dily concur in the exercise of all constituti
onal menus to prevent the calamities which
we have *<• much cause to apprehend, or to
prepare to meet them in a becoming man
ner. In their deliberations on this subject’
and on tlie other important concerns e .bra
ced in yo • Excellency’s Communication
they will constantly keep in view that candor
and prudence, and that disinterested tlcva
tion above all party spirit, which your Ex
r.ellency justly observes are indispensable in
this portentous crisis ot our affairs, to the
safety of our dearest rights and best inter
ests.”
in the House of Representatives of the U.
S. on Wednesday the 31st oft. the following*
ivl,< bit l was read, and committed to a
committee of the whole house.
The committee, to whom were referred the
petitions of sundry surviving officers of the
lau- revolutionary army, in behaifof them
selves and others,
REPORT—
I hat bv a res !ution of Congress, of the
ijih of May, ir.K, all ■ .1 lit ary office•s who
then were or should thereafter he in the
'el \ n « of the (Jolted State*, and who should
continue in service during the war, anti not
hold any office of profit Under the U. States,
OI any of (hem, should after the conclusion
o. the war be entitled to receive annually for
the term of seven years, if they »houid li.e
so one half ol the then pay of such ofti
cer»: provided, that no general officer of
t'ie cavalry, artiileiy or infantry should be
enmled to receive more than the one half
part of the pay of a colonel of such corps
respectively; and provided that the said
resolution should not extend to any officer on
the service of the U. S. unless he should have
taken an oath of allegiance, and should ac
lu&ily reside withiu some one of the United
states.
i hat by a resolution of Congress, of the
11th August, 1779, it was resolved, that the
halt pay provided by the aforesaid icsolutinn
oi the 15th May, 1778, should be extended
to continue for life.
That by a resolution of Congress, of the
21st ol October, 1780, it was provided, that
ihc officers vviio should continue in toe ser
vice to the end of the war, should be entitled
ti> half pay during life, to commence from
the time of their reduction.
That by a resolution of Congress, of the
1< ill January, 1781, all office) s in the hospi
tal de[*artiuent, and medical staff, thereinaf
ter mentioned,who should continue in service
until the end ol the war, or be reduced be
fore that time as supernumeraries, should
be entitled to receive during life, in lieu nf
halt pay, the following allowances, viz: the |
director of ihe hospital, equal to the hall pay I
of a lieutenant-colonel; chief physician and
surgeons, purveyor, apothecary and regi
mental surgeous, each, equal to the half pay
of a captain.
I ^ by a resolution of Congress, of the
22d ot March, 1783, it was provided, that
such officers as were then in service, and
should continue tlyeiein until the end or tlie I
wai", should he entitled to receive the amount
ul five years full pay in money, or securities 1
on interest at six per centum per annum,
as Congress should find most convenient, in
stead ot the half pay promised tor !:fe by the
resolution of the 21st October, 1780;_the
said securities being such as should be given
to the other creditors of the United States;
provided, it should be at the option of the
lines of the respective states, and notofolii
ceis individually in those lines, to accept or
id fuse the saint, provided, also, that their
election should be signified to Congies3
through the commander in chief, from the
lines under his immediate command, within
two months and through the commanding
officer of the southern army, from those uh
der his command, within six months from
tlit date of the resolution.
I hat the same commutation should cx
tend to the corps not belonging to the lines
i;f any particular stale, and who were enti
tied to halt pay as aforesaid ; the acceptance
or refusal to be determined by corps, and
to he signified in the same manner, and
within the same time as above mentioned.
1 hat all officers belonging to the hospital
department, who were entitled to half pay
by the resolution of the 17th of Jitnuaiy,
17bl, mighty collectively agiee to accept or
refuse the aforesaid commutations, signify
ing the same through the commander in
chief, within six months. That such offi.
eers as had retired a; different periods, en
titled to half pay for life, might collectively,
in each state of which they were inhabitants,
accept or refuse the same ; their acceptance
or refusal to be signified by agents (audio
lized tor that purpose ) within six months.
— i hat with respect to such retiringofficers,
the commutation, if accepted by them!
should be in lieu of whatever might be then
due to them since the time of their retiring
from service, as well as what might here
after become due. and that so soon as their
acceptance should be signified, the super
intendant of finance should be, and he
was thereby authorised to take measures
tor the settlement of their accounts accnr
ingly, and to issue to them certificatesbea r
ing interest at 6 per cent. That all officers en
titlod to half pay for life, not included in the
preceding resolution, might also collectively
agree to accept nr refuse the aforesaid com
mutation, signifying the same within six
months from the passage of said resolution.
i lie petitioners state, and the fact is of
too general a notoriety to be disputed, that
although they confidently expected at the
time they' were compelled from imperious
necessity to accept the sum in gross, in lieu
ot halt pay for life, that it would be paid to
them i,. reality, and not by a fresh promise
without any sufficient guarantee for its due
performance; yet they were compelled to
receive certificatea, which for want of any
specific provision fur the payment of them
or the interest accruing on them were imme
diately depreciated to five for one, and by
degrees to ten for one in exchange for mo
ney. They therefore pi*uy, that half pay for
life, to commence from the time of the ie
duct ion of the army, mav be granted to
them according to the solemn stipulations
wntered into v.i h them by congress by the
resolutions before referred to; deducting
therefrom the five years full pay received
•y then, in depreciated paper by way (>r com
mutation.
It is well known to your committee, and
to the whole nation, that the far greater
part of the officers were compelled by hard
necessity to dispc e of their commutation
certificates at pi ices infinitely below their
nominal amount. That this did not proceed
from want of patriotism, of which they had
before given proofs most unequivocal, or of
want i t confidence in their gneriimeut; bid
that alter having spent the vigor of their
manhood in the service of their countrv, they
returned to the walks of civil hfe, (many oj
1,01,1 mainud and scarcely al>le to halt a
b'l-g.) ignorant of what was passing or hkc
J>' to Pa»3 i» 'lie councils of their couwry_
'Che griping hand of poverty bore hard unnfi
them, and unacquainted .is they necessarily
were with civil affairs, they fdr ftn easy
prey fotlie wiles of the. artful and insidious
speculator, who was laying in wait to fatu-n
uP"n their lu.nl earnings. Under circum
stances like these it would have been str? -me
indeed, if they bad kept their certificates
in their pockets. No! ihe thing was im
practicable. go they must for whatever thev
would bring, and be the consequences what
ever they might fie.
Upon ilie whole, the committee are of o.
pinion, the contract enteieil into by r.ou
gress with the officers of the late revolutlona
i y army, for giving them half pay for life, has
not been substantially complied’ wit!: by our
government.—They, therefore, rt com mend
