Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
June 8.
Mr. Gallatin called up his resolution respecting the appointment of a committee, to consider upon an adjournment, which, after some few observations, was agreed to, and a committee of five appointed accordingly. Mr. Dawson also called up his resolution, requesting the president to lay before the house such information as he possesses respecting the conduct which has been observed by the British government, or by persons acting or pretending to act by or under the authority thereof, towards the neutral rights of commerce of the United States, since the ratification of our treaty with that nation, which was negatived without debate, 47 to 38. Mr. D. Foller then called up his resolutions, authorizing the president to grant letters of marque and general reprisal, &c. which he moved to refer to the committee for the protection of commerce, and the defence of the country, with instructions to report by bill, or otherwise. After some debate on this motion, Mr. Coit moved to postpone the consideration of these resolutions for one week. This motion was negatived, there being only 28 votes for it. The original motion then returned, and after some debate, it was taken by yeas and nays, as follows: Yeas 41. Nays 42.
The motion for reference to the committee for the protection of commerce and the defence of the country, being negatived. Mr. Sitgreaves moved to postpone the further consideration of these resolutions for one week. Mr. Josiah Parker moved two weeks, the motion on the latter proposition was carried 44 to 49.
Immediately after which, Mr. Blount moved the following:
“Whereas, the king and government of Great Britain, regardless of those principles of good faith which ought to ensure a due observation of treaties, have in various instances, violated the express stipulations of the treaties heretofore made and subsisting between the United States and the British nation, in a manner highly injurious to the interest and honor of the United States; by reason whereof the United States are released from all obligation on their part to respect the said treaties, or to consider themselves as holden or bound thereby.”
“Resolved, that it is expedient to make a legislative declaration, notifying the citizens of the United States, and all others concerned, that the said treaties are no longer obligatory upon the United States.”
Mr. B. wished this motion to lie upon the table, but several members calling for its immediate consideration, a vote was carried to that effect; when the mover said it was not his intention to have called up this motion until that respecting France had been decided upon; and on the suggestion of Mr. Venable, he withdrew it, declaring he would bring it forward at a future day.
The house went into a committee of the whole, and spent some time on the bill providing for a valuation of lands, and dwelling houses, and the enumeration of slaves, and had leave to sit again.
Mr. Sewall from the committee for the protection of commerce and the defence of the country, reported the bill respecting alien enemies, newly modified, which was some days ago committed to that committee for its purpose. Also, a bill authorizing merchants' vessels to defend themselves against depredations.
and crews of merchants' vessels to oppose the attack or search of any French armed vessel, and to repel any such search or attack, by force, and to capture the vessels making such attack. All such captures to go, one half to the owner of the vessel making the capture, and the other half to the captors. No armed merchant vessels to be suffered to clear out, but such as is owned by a citizen of the United States, who together with the commander, shall enter into bond that she shall not commit any outrage against the vessel of any nation at amity with the United States, and that said vessel shall not, during her voyage, carry any articles contraband of war.
A bill was received from the senate, entitled, an act concerning aliens. This bill goes to authorize the president of the United States, to order all such aliens as he shall deem dangerous to the United States, to depart out of its territory, and if after such order, any such alien shall be found at large, he shall be imprisoned, for three years, and forever after deprived of the privilege of becoming a citizen of the United States. And if any alien shall return to this country, after he shall have been sent out of it, he shall be imprisoned and kept to hard labor for life. And all commanders of vessels who shall arrive in any of the ports of the United States after the first day of July next, shall make report in writing, of all aliens which shall come passengers on board their vessels, giving an account of their age, profession, description of their person, &c. on pain of forfeiting three hundred dollars.
LONDON, June 6.
FROM “THE PRESS.”
DUBLIN.
We hear that the number of human beings put to death in the county of Wexford, by the Wicklow militia, is 74. The grand jury have presented a sum to be levied off the fathers, brothers and sons of the murdered, to purchase a service of plate for their murderers. We have not words to express our indignation—Irishmen, do you live?—have you hearts?—Yet, be still awhile—be firm and patient—encourage in love and affection to each other, and “he that tempers the cold wind to the shorn lamb,” will soothe your sorrows, and crown your sufferings with victory.
Green (some months back) was prohibited as a treasonable color, and the livery of nature became offensive. Yellow, now, it seems, has provoked suspicion, and must be put down by military courage.
WILMINGTON, June 6.
Charleston (S. C.) blockaded by the British.
It appears by a Charleston paper of the 18th ult. that the harbor is in a state of blockade, by the amicable captain Cochran, of the British frigate Ibis. This vessel has been for some time at anchor off the bar, and, under pretence of searching for contraband, seized all vessels bound in or out. The Charleston merchants drew up a spirited remonstrance, and sent it by a deputation of their meeting to captain Cochran, on board his ship, accompanied with a threat, that if he did not desist, and immediately raise the blockade, a representation of the facts would be forwarded to our executive, to be laid before his royal and magnanimous master! Whether the desired effect was produced, cannot now be ascertained; but so far says Timothy's City Gazette,
NEW-YORK, June 6.
COMMUNICATION.
Last Monday being the birthday of George III. several British royalists assembled at Mr. Kings tavern, in Wall-street, to celebrate the day, and express their loyalty to their sovereign. Mr. Butler was invited by a friend to the honor of a sitting, when by an unguarded expression of his calling the Vice President a citizen, a fracas had nearly ensued; but a call to order from the chairman (a Scotch gentleman) informing the company that they had purposely assembled to support his Majesty King George, and the constitution of the United States, tranquillity was soon restored. King George's men possess wonderful sagacity, and can, with admiral dexterity, unite royalty and republicanism.
June 11.
NO QUARTERS!
Capt. Quinton, of the brig Prudent, from St. Johns, New Brunswick, was taken and his vessel burnt, in the afternoon of the 7th. inst. about ten leagues to the S. S. E. of the Hook. Capt. Q. informs that at 3 P. M. the same day, the British brig Earl Moira, was engaged with the French privateer, and fired 20 guns, when the privateer stood off to the Southward and the brig pursued. The capt. of the French privateer informed capt. Q. that his orders were, in case any American armed vessel made resistance, to give them no quarter. [Com. Adv.]
PHILADELPHIA, June 14.
At a respectable meeting of merchants, at the City tavern, on Monday, June 11, 1798.
George Latimer, in the Chair. Resolved, that a committee be appointed to receive subscriptions for the purpose of building and equipping two ships, not exceeding five hundred tons each, to be loaned to the government of the United States.
Resolved, that Joseph Anthony, David H. Conyngham, Daniel Smith, James Crawford & Joseph Smith, be a committee to receive the subscriptions.
Resolved, that as soon as 40,000 dollars are subscribed, the committee shall call the subscribers together for the purpose of taking the necessary measures for completing the object of the subscription.
JOHN DONALDSON, sec.
Upwards of 20,000 dollars have been already subscribed for the above purpose.
Extract of a letter from a merchant of New-London, (Connecticut) dated June 4, 1798, to a member of Congress from that state.
“On Saturday last, Capt. Francis Buckley, arrived here in a schooner from Martinico, with molasses, who was brought to, about six days before, by a ship, direct from France, mounting 20 guns, to cruise on our coast, and four or five more were destined on the same errand. They had taken a vessel from Tobago, bound to Portsmouth, with a cargo of rum, and sunk a vessel from the southward with a load of corn, bound to Antigua, as not valuable enough to send to France, where they were directed to send all prizes. Molasses not being worth sending to France, and expecting to get much more valuable vessels, he dismissed Capt. Buckley.”
A letter from Bourdeaux of the 10th of April, says, “The Directory will not acknowledge the three American commissioners—Messrs. Pinckney and Marshall certainly leave Paris, but Mr. Gerry remains. The privateer Rochefort, has brought here a large American ship, from Savannah, laden with furz, rice and tobacco.”
The United States, Commodore Barry, left the fort on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, and anchored at Chester, about noon.
We understand that the amount of the subscription opened on Monday, at the meeting of the merchants held at the coffee house, for the purpose, was the next day at noon, upwards of 50,000 dollars, which being 10,000 more than was proposed to be raised, before the building of the vessels should be determined upon; the business will doubtless be entered upon immediately, and the vessels got ready with the greatest dispatch. One house alone, subscribed 3,000 dollars.
FIRE.
On Saturday evening, about a quarter past six o'clock, the new Factory, in the prison yard of this city (a semi-circular brick building, two stories high and three hundred feet in extent) was discovered to be on fire, by volumes of smoke issuing from all parts of the building nearly at the same time. The smoke was soon succeeded by flame, and, though the city was immediately alarmed, and the fire engines and thousands of citizens flew to assist in the quelling of it, the furious element was not got under before eight o'clock, by which time the whole of the roof, all the windows, three fourths of the floor, and the greater part of the machinery, tools, materials, &c. used by the various artisans employed therein, were destroyed.
John Jay is re-elected governor of the state of New-York, with a majority of 2380 votes.
BOSTON, June 4.
Captain George Crowninshield and Sons have offered to government, the loan of the ship America, of 700 tons at a valuation to be made by appraisers to be appointed by government. She is a fine vessel, sails fast and will carry 28 guns.
The subscription at Newbury-port for building a ship of war, is filled and the contracts made—she will be launched in 90 days.
The ship Herald, of Boston, is purchased by government, to be fitted for sea immediately, as a cruiser.
June 7.
We learn from Providence, that on the news arriving of the French privateer mounting 16 guns being in the sound, a large ship belonging to John Brown, esq. was immediately armed with twenty nine pounders, completely officered and manned, in 4 hours, and sent out.
Last evening arrived the ship Sarah Hopkins, from Algiers, 80 days—the captain and passengers inform, that the frigate Crescent, sent by our government as a present to the Dey, was highly admired, inasmuch, that valuable presents were made to the captain & crew; and the highest encomiums passed on the American character. The Dey was in a poor state of health.
NEWARK, June 12.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Ganges, dated Delaware Capes, May 30.
We are just discharging our pilot, and are all in perfect health and good spirits. We shall proceed to sea as soon as possible, in pursuit of a French privateer lately seen. We have everything ready for action, and I hope will soon be able to give them a specimen of the force of American metal. The privateer is a schooner of 16 guns, full of men. We have just heard of the bill having passed both houses of congress, for taking French privateers,

This intelligence was given us by a pilot who this morning brought fresh instructions for capt. Dale. The Revenue Cutter is in company with us. We have just been examining our men and proving the guns, which answer our most sanguine expectations.
A singular article!
In the British House of Commons, Feb. 28, "the bill for advancing money to the government of the United States during the war, went through a third reading, and was ordered to be committed on Friday next."
NORFOLK, June 4.
There is a report in town, said to have been brought by a vessel now in Hampton Roads, that a part of the transports destined for the invasion of England, consisting of two ships of the line, several frigates, and fourteen transports, have been captured by admiral Colpoys. Their intentions were to have made a descent on Ireland. The vessel which brings the news is 33 days from Belfast.
ALEXANDRIA, June 5.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Falmouth, (England) to a gentleman in this town, dated April 19.
"Our political horizon gets darker and darker. Arming the people generally, is a measure now talked of. The exertions of the French government for an invasion of this country are so great, that it appears as if government were daily in expectation of a visit from them. The preparations for resisting them, is, however, become much more general."
PHILADELPHIA, June 9.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in New Orleans to his correspondent in this city, dated 15th of March 1798.
"There is no difficulty respecting the admission of American vessels in the Mississippi, and since the delivery of the posts, the produce of the United States is reported free of duty. A deposit is made here of all that is bro't down by the citizens of the United States, and when shipped by them, the custom house only takes an account of it to prevent smuggling. The cargo of the vessel by which this goes has been shipped in this way and will serve as an example in future."

NOTICE, To the inhabitants of Fayette, and the adjacent Counties.
AT a crisis more important to the Liberty, Independence and Happiness of America, than any which has taken place since the declaration of Independence;—at a period, when the interests of the Western country must be deeply affected by the measures which may be pursued by the Federal government;—and at a time, when the citizens of America are generally expressing their sentiments as to the steps that ought to be taken by that government:—your silence will be construed into an unpardonable indifference to the welfare of your country, and an abandonment of your right, according to your number, of directing the councils of your representatives. It is therefore proposed, that there shall be a general meeting of the inhabitants of Fayette and the adjacent counties, on the next August Fayette court day, at 12 o'clock, at the Presbyterian meeting-house, in the town of Lexington, for the purpose of taking into consideration, the present critical situation of public affairs, & to express to their representatives, their opinions of the measures which have been already adopted, and those which ought now to be pursued, at this eventful moment: and it is hoped, that the friends of peace, and those who are really attached to Republican principles, will be pointed in their attendance on this occasion.
