HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES.
FRIDAY, Sept. 11.
THE engrossed bill for suspending the operation of part of the tonnage act, was read the third time - the suspension to continue till the 15th of January next.
It was then passed to be engrossed.
Mr. Burke move that the house should reconsider the vote of yesterday, not to recede from their disagreement to the amendment proposed by the senate to the bill for allowing compensations to the members and officers of both houses.
Mr. Madison supposing that the bill was lost by the vote of yesterday, queried whether it was in order to reconsider that vote; or whether such a vote could be said to restore the bill. The affirmative of this enquiry, he concurred, involved many difficulties: It would extend to repealing the laws, as well as to receiving them without going through those previous formalities, which are required by the constitution.
Mr. Sherman, Mr. Gerry, and Mr. Lawrence, observed, that the bill could not be considered as lost, as the house had directed the clerk to inform the senate of what had taken place; the senate being adjourned, their opinion could not be known. The bill and the vote were still in possession of the house; nor could there be a doubt that the law, if now completed by a concurrence in the amendment of the senate, would not be as valid as any law that had been enacted.
It being doubted whether the motion was in order, the Speaker gave his opinion that it was strictly so: and appealing to the house, they confirmed his determination.
Mr. Burke's motion for a reconsideration being put, and the ayes and noes being called they are as follows:
Ayes - Messrs. Ames, Baldwin, Benson, Boudinot, Brown, Burke, Cadwalader, Carroll, Clymer, Fitzsimons, Gale, Gerry, Griffin, Hartley, Huntington, Lawrence, Lee, Livermore, Madison, Moore, Muhlenberg, Page, Scott, Sherman, Smith, (S. C.) Trumbull, Vining, Wadsworth, Wykkoop. 29.
Noes - Messrs. Bland, Coles, Contee, Floyd, Foster, Gilman, Goodhue, Grout, Hathorn, Heister, Jackson, Matthews, Parker, Partridge, Rensselaer, Schureman, Seney, Sylvester, Sinnickson, Smith, (M.) Stone, Sumpter, Thatcher, Tucker, White. 25.
Majority for reconsidering 4.
On the question for receding from the disagreement to the amendment of the senate, and to agree thereto with their proposed amendments - The ayes and noes being called are as follows:
Ayes - Messrs. Ames, Baldwin, Benson, Boudinot, Brown, Burke, Cadwalader, Carroll, Clymer, Fitzsimons, Gale, Gerry, Griffin, Hartley, Huntington, Lawrence, Lee, Livermore, Madison, Moore, Muhlenberg, Page, Scott, Sherman, Smith, (S. C.) Trumbull, Vining, Wadsworth, Wykkoop. 28.
Noes - Messrs. Bland, Coles, Contee, Floyd, Foster, Gilman, Goodhue, Grout, Hathorn, Heister, Jackson, Matthews, Page, Parker, Partridge, Rensselaer, Schureman, Sylvester, Sinnickson, Smith, (M.) Stone, Sumpter, Rensselaer, Thatcher, Tucker, White. 36.
This motion being determined in the affirmative saved the bill.
In Committee of the whole on the bill for establishing judicial courts.
Mr. Boudinot in the chair.
The committee proceeded in the discussion as far as the 16th section, they then rose, and the house adjourned.
TAKEN up by the subscriber a roan Mare, 3 or 4 years old, about 13 hands and a half high, branded on the near shoulder 1D, not docked. Appraised at £8.

LONDON, June 10.
On the 12th of May, Marshal Loudoun at the head of the Imperial army in Croatia.
Next day he sent a letter the Pachas and commandants, proposing a milder treatment of prisoners on both sides, and especially that the Austrian prisoners should not be multilated, as he must make use of reprisals. But the Turks will not pay any regard to his proposals.
A letter from Acona mentions, that the Russian fleet has destroyed the first division of the Turkish fleet, near the Port of Warna.
Dispatches are received from Sir Robert Ainslie, His Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople, which confirm the accounts that the Sublime Porte, under the new Sultan, is preparing to prosecute the war against Russia and her ally with the utmost vigor; but that they are endeavouring to cultivate the best understanding with all the other Christian powers.
June 15. The Duke of Normandy has been declared Dauphin by the King of France.
The Court of Denmark has received the answer of the Empress of Russia, in respect to the mediation of our Court, and that of Prussia, to prevent the Danes from acting hostily towards Sweden. The answer is said to be, "That her Majesty considers Denmark to be bound by every principle of honor, to support its treaty with Russia, that she has a full right to rely on its being fulfilled with alacrity, and that Denmark should furnish the assistance agreed upon between the two powers, particularly the succours by sea, as no just reason had, or could be assigned for a breach of faith and promise."
ROSEAU, (Dominica) Feb. 25
THE following very extraordinary circumstance happened on the Hertford estate of Thomas Jemmit, Esq. at Mahaut, and as furnished us by Mr. Jemmit himself.
On Saturday last a pregnant Negro woman, who was remarkably big, but uncertain in her reckoning, was delivered of a male infant without any assistance, in the forenoon; but it appearing evident that there was another child, two negro midwives of the neighbourhood were sent for, who continued with her until Sunday morning, when their skill being judged insufficient, a Doctor Grusefou was sent for, who arrived in about an hour; and, in half an hour after, delivered her of three girls. The four infants are of the ordinary size; and, as well as the mother, are in a fair way to do well. This instance of fecundity, may be deemed as an extraordinary circumstance in itself, independent of the additional singularity of the male getting the start by upwards of eighteen hours of the female offspring.
AMERICAN OCCURRENCES.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) July 14.
A report was current in town yesterday, that a severe shock of an earthquake had done considerable damage in the parish of St. Thomas in the East - We sincerely hope the report is premature.
PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) Aug. 29.
At an adjourned meeting of the town on Thursday, a committee that had been appointed on Tuesday for the purpose, reported a draft of a petition to be presented to the Congress of the United States, setting forth the distressed situation of this state - the probability of our soon joining the union and praying that vessels belonging to our citizens may be exempted from foreign tonnage, and goods shipped from this State from foreign duties, for such time, and under such regulations and restrictions, as Congress in their wisdom shall think proper.
The petition was unanimously voted, and after having been signed by the moderator and town clerk, the Rev. Dr. Manning and Benjamin Bourne Esq. were appointed to proceed to New-York, and present the same.
At a meeting of the Cincinnati of the state of Rhode-Island, held in the State house in New-Port, on the 4th of July 1789.
Whereas Joseph Arnold of Warwick, a member of the Cincinnati of said state, by a late tender of the paper currency for a specie demand; notwithstanding the most pressing and repeated admonitions to the contrary, has forfeited all claim to those principles of honor and justice, which are the basis of institution, and thereby rendered himself no longer deserving the friendship and confidence of that class of his fellow citizens, or the patronage of good men.
Therefore it is unanimously resolved, that the said Joseph Arnold be expelled said society and that his name be erased from the list of members who compose the same.
By order of the society ROBERT RODGERS, Sec'y.
BALTIMORE, July 28. Extract of a letter from Belfast, (Ireland) dated May 8. 1789.
In the counties of Armagh and Tyrone, there are a number of Rebels, who have taken the name of Break of Day boys. - They assaulted the Volunteers of Armagh, when they were to appear at the Cathedral. One of them took a bayonet from a boy, with which he attempted to stab him, and then ran off. - The Volunteers immediately pursuing were alarmed by finding Two Hundred and fifty men, completely equipped, and ready for action: The Volunteers having only their side arms went to Armagh, where they procured twelve stand of arms, and returned back; when the rebels fell upon them and a smart engagement ensued, in which ten of the rebels were killed, and fourteen wounded - The Volunteers had only two killed.
NEW-YORK, October 29.
By a gentleman who arrived yesterday from Georgia we are informed, that the Commissioners are on their way returning to this city. The same gentleman has been informed, that they have not been so very successful in their negotiations with the Indians as could have been wished. The Red people must be obliged to enter into peaceable treaties by some other means than the childish mode of making presents. We must make them fear us, otherwise our love will be thrown away.
The generally received opinion in 1786 was, that the ruin of Georgia might have been ere this effected, had not Mr. McGillivray restrained the Indians from going beyond the boundaries of their own land. The territory, which was the original cause of dispute, was then effectually cleared of intruders; and had the Georgians wisely kept within their own limits, the horrors of war would have been at an end. It must however, afford satisfaction to the citizens of the United States that a s of cruelty hitherto characteristic of Indian warfare are in a great degree, if not altogether, discontinued. Prisoners are brought into the nation: among the Creeks, and treated with humanity.
Oct. 30. Saturday last, between the hours of two and three o'clock, the President of the United States arrived at Boston, where he was received with every demonstration of joy due to his exalted character. A grand procession was formed on this occasion, and in the evening the town was beautifully illuminated.
FREDERICKSBURG, Sept. 17.
A Providence (Rhode-Island) publication, of August 27, advises, that all vessels owned in Rhode-Island, which have arrived at New-York, since the 15th of August, had the foreign tonnage duty, of half a dollar per ton, exacted - further that all vessels owned in that state, and bound to any part of Connecticut, are obliged to enter and unlade their cargoes at New London, and are not permitted to go into Connecticut river.
On Saturday the 5th instant in committee of the whole house, it was resolved, that the Secretary of the treasury should be directed tomorrow the sum of 100,000 dollars, to be repaid in twenty years, with an interest of 5 per cent. for the purpose of erecting the necessary public buildings on the banks of the Susquehannah.
The President of the United States has been pleased to nominate Arthur St. Clair, Esq. to be Governor of the Western territory.
Winthrop Sargent, to be Secretary, and Samuel Holden Parsons, John Clevet Symmes, and William Barton, to be Judges.
Also - Hon. Benjamin Lincoln, Hon. Cyrus Griffin, and David Humphreys Esq. as Commissioners to be employed to negotiate a treaty with the Southern Indians.
Ebenezer Tucker, to be surveyor of little Egg Harbour, in the state of New-Jersey, and
William Gibb, to be collector of the Port of Folly Landing, in the State of Virginia - To which nominations the Senate did advise and consent.
On Tuesday the 25th ult. at her seat near Frederickburgh, departed this life in a very advanced age, Mrs. WASHINGTON, the mother of our beloved PRESIDENT. This venerable Lady lived to experience the exquisite and singular felicity of seeing her illustrious Son and Pupil raised to the highest honors which a grateful people could bestow upon the darling object of their confidence and their affections.
By a gentleman who arrived here on Tuesday last, from Limestone, we are informed of the following melancholy scene
That a few days before he left that place, a boat coming down the Ohio, had one of her sides broke off, by the kick of a Horse, the boat immediate sunk; there were 23 souls on board, 4 only of which escaped drowning.
About the same time, another boat coming down the Ohio, was driven against a log, sunk and a woman and three children drowned.
Judge Parsons and one other, were crossing a creek which empties near fort McIntosh in a canoe, which unfortunately overset and they were both drowned.
