Proceedings of Congress. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES.
THURSDAY, September 24. THE house took up the report of the committee of conference on the disagreement of the houses respecting the bill for amending the Constitution.
The amendment proposed by the senate to which the house agreed, was to insert the word 'district' in the clause relating to the trial by jury; so that it would read 'that offences shall be tried by an impartial jury of the state or district where the offence shall be committed.'
The question of concurrence was, after considerable debate, carried in the affirmative.
The house resolved itself into a committee on the bill to appropriate money for defraying the expenses of government the present year.
The committee having gone through the same, rose and reported, and the bill was laid on the table.
A message was received from the President of the United States, accompanying the bill for allowing compensation to the President and Vice President, which had received his approbation and signature.
A message was received from the senate, acquainting the house, that the President of the United States had returned to the senate the judiciary bill, and the resolution respecting goals, both which had received his approbation and signature.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill to provide for the support of the invalid pensioners; and having gone through the same, rose and reported and the bill was laid on the table.
The house went into a committee on the bill sent from the senate, to regulate the process in the courts of the United States, and having considered the same, rose and reported amendments, which were accepted, and the bill ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. Adjourned.
FRIDAY, September 25. The house took up the bill for making appropriations for the services of the present year.
The amendment proposed in committee of the whole, by striking out the sum appropriated for the discharge of warrants issued by the late superintendent of finance, was agreed to by the house.
The next amendment proposed, for striking out the sum appropriated for the discharge of warrants issued by the late board of treasury, was disagreed to.
The bill was then passed to be engrossed for a third reading.
The engrossed bill for making appropriations, was brought in and passed to be enacted.
Mr. Boudinot introduced a motion to the following purport, viz:—
Resolved, That a joint committee of both houses be appointed to wait on the President of the United States, to request he would be pleased to recommend a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by the people of the United States, to acknowledge the favours bestowed upon them by Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government, calculated to promote their prosperity and happiness. This was adopted, and a committee appointed, consisting of Mr. Boudinot, Mr. Sherman & Mr. Sylvester. Adjourned.
SATURDAY, September 26. A message was received from the senate, acquainting the house, that the senate had appointed a committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the two houses on the process bill.
The house appointed conferees to meet those of the senate on that subject.
The house also received from the senate the bill for fixing the seat of government of the United States, to which the senate had proposed an amendment, by striking out all that part respecting Susquehannah, and inserting a clause fixing the permanent seat of government at Germantown in the state of Pennsylvania.
A motion was then made, to postpone the consideration of this amendment of the senate till next session. On this motion, after some debate, the yeas and nays were taken, and were as follows:
YEAS. Messrs Ames, Benion, Boudinot, Cudwallader, Cramer, Floyd, Foster, Fitzsimons, Gilman, Goodhue, Grout, Hartley, Heister, Hathorn, Livermore, Lawrence, Leonard, P. Muhlenberg, Patridge, Ransfeller, Sylvester, Sinnickson, Scott, Sherman, Thatcher, Trumbull, Vining, Wodsworth, Wynkoop.—29.

Mr. Ames then moved to concur with the senate in their amendment. Objections were made to this, and on motion, the house adjourned without coming to a decision.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
PARIS, August 20. THE court of Spain has prohibited, under the severest penalties, the introduction into the Spanish dominions of any French book relative to the constitution and revolution which have at present taken place in France.
LONDON, Aug. 27. The tumults in France have extended to Switzerland, which is thronged with French as much as London. We have nearly equally divided the emigrants. The struggle for liberty in France seems to be a signal for all Europe to break the chains of slavery. The fermentation in Switzerland is very great, particularly at Berne, Fribourg, Soleure, &c. The lower order ofburghers, hitherto excluded from any chance of participating in the affairs of government, protest loudly against the injustice, and the exclusive privileges of the Nobles and aristocracy.
The country by the last accounts seems much disposed to support its demands by arms, and emancipate themselves from the yoke which has so long hung over their heads.
Revolutions in State are the natural consequences of unpopular and oppressive measures, and in those cases, the troops always change to the side of justice.—It was so in the year 1688 in England—It is so in the year 1789 in France.
DAWN OF LIBERTY IN SPAIN. The people in every province of Spain are beginning to assert their freedom.—They insist that the Cortes, the ancient parliament of that kingdom shall be re-established; and they insist upon this point with that firm and intrepid pertinacity which has ever been the character of that noble nation. The Court, it seems, mean to employ the Holy Office as an engine to suppress the ardor of liberty. But the Holy Office has lost much of its authority in the minds of the Spaniards, who for some time past have been conversant with the literature of France and England.—The Spanish translation, tame, feeble, and mutilated as it is, of Abbe Raynal's celebrated history, by the Count Almadovar, has contributed not a little to open the eyes of the Spaniards to the fallacy of their government, and
the tyranny of their pious oppressors. The opposition of the Holy Office, therefore, to the emancipation of Spain will only tend to irritate the people, and to accelerate the ruin of an institution which disgraces the name of religion and human nature.
They will see from Bilbao, that some chosen Spanish troops have entirely stopped up the few passages over the hills opening into France.
The bank of Berlin, which acts under the King's authority, hath lent 800,000 rix dollars (about 160,000l.) to the King of Sweden; and a banking house in Amsterdam have advanced about 100,000l. more, on the security of the Swedish government.
The magazines which have been formed for the continental armies, and the continued exportations of France, have since last March run up the price of wheat from 106 to 214 rix dollars per last, at Hamburg, Lebec, and other German ports.
A report has reached us, which came by the way of Ragusa, that the Sultan has declared war against the Crowns of Spain and the two Sicilies, and sent the ministers of these two crowns prisoners to the castle of the Seven Towers.
An accident happened last week near Kilkenny which their provincial paper described in the following manner:— 'Yesterday morning a farmer near this place got up out of his bed, and going through the window, accidentally fell down with his head upon the stones just asleep, by which his neck was broken and he died before he awoke.'
A curious, though very ludicrous libel has been published at Paris, entitled, "Protests and remonstrances of the most numerous order in the kingdom." This the author proclaims to be, "the order of Cuckolds," and supposes them to be assembled on the plains of Sablone, to choose a President, and ludicrously describes them as if deliberating, and voting in the assembly of the States General. As President of the nobility, they have chosen a prince, and for the Third Estate one Kornmann. It is much much looked after.
Extract of a letter from Dublin, July 10. "Wednesday a fellow at Limerick sold his wife to a farmer for two guineas and a half, which was the price set on her ladyship (who was present) and with which all parties seemed satisfied; but on her being conducted away by her new master the old one shewed evident marks of regret, and offered to refund the purchase money, which would not be accepted of, as the farmer declared he would not take less than five guineas for his bargain."
LEXINGTON, January 23.
We are just now informed, that on Saturday the 16th Inst. the Indians killed or took 2 men and a lad near the mouth of Lee's creek, on the Ohio. There were 6 whites in company, 3 of which escaped, but are not able to inform whether those missing are killed or taken, the last they saw of them the Indians had them prisoners.
And about Thursday or Friday last, they killed two men some where on the waters of the hanging Fork of Dicks River, who had carried a number of horses to a Cane-break, for range.
