CONGRESS. Thursday December 17.
This day at twelve o'clock, the House of Representatives waited on the President, and Presented the following
ADDRESS, In answer to his Speech to both houses at the opening of the session:
To the President of the United States,
SIR,
As the representatives of the people of the United States, we cannot but participate in the strongest sensibility to every blessing which they enjoy, and cheerfully join with you in profound gratitude to the author of all good, for the numerous and extraordinary blessings which he has conferred on our favoured country.
A final and formal termination of the distressing war which has ravaged our northwestern frontier, will be an event which must afford satisfaction proportioned to the anxiety with which it has long been sought; and in the adjustment of the terms, we perceive the true policy of making them satisfactory to the Indians as well as to the United States, as the best basis of a durable tranquility. The disposition of such of the southern tribes as had also heretofore annoyed our frontier, is also her prospect in our situation so important to the interest and happiness of the United States, that it is much to be lamented that any clouds should be thrown over it, more especially by the excesses on the part of our own citizens.
While our population is advancing with a celerity which exceeds the most sanguine calculations — while every part of the U. S. displays indications of rapid & various improvement — while we are in the enjoyment of protection and security; by mild and wholesome laws, administered by governments founded on the genuine principles of rational liberty, a secure foundation will be laid for accelerating, maturing, and establishing the prosperity of our country; if by the treaty and amicable negotiation, all those causes of external discord which heretofore menaced our tranquility, shall be extinguished on terms compatible with our national rights and honor, and with our constitution, and great commercial interests.
Among the various circumstances in our internal situation, none can be viewed with more satisfaction & exultation, than that the late scene of discord and insurrection, has been completely restored to the enjoyment of order & repose. Such a triumph of reason and of law, is worthy of the free government under which it happened, and was justly to be hoped from the enlightened and patriotic spirit which pervades and actuates the people of the United States.
In contemplating that spectacle of national happiness which our country exhibits, and of which you, Sir, have been pleased to make an interesting summary; permit us to acknowledge and declare the very great share which your zealous and faithful services have contributed to it, and to express the affectionate attachment which we feel for your character.
The several interesting subjects which you recommend to our consideration will receive every degree of attention which is due to them. And while we feel the obligation of temperance and mutual indulgence in all our discussions, we trust and pray that the result to the happiness and welfare of our country, may correspond with the pure affection we bear to it.
THE ANSWER Gentlemen,
Coming as you do from all parts of the United States, I receive great satisfaction from the concurrence
of your testimony in the justness of the interesting summary of our national happiness, which as the result of my enquiries, I presented to your view. The sentiments we have mutually expressed of profound gratitude to the source of those numerous blessings — the author of all good — are pledges of our obligations to unite our sincere and zealous endeavours, as the instruments of Divine Providence, to preserve and perpetuate them.
Accept, gentleman, my thanks for your declaration, that to my agency you ascribe the enjoyment of a great share of these blessings. So far as my services contribute to the happiness of my country, the acknowledgement thereof by my fellow citizens, and their affectionate attachment, will ever prove an abundant reward.
GO. WASHINGTON.

An Act concerning Arbitrations,
WHEREAS experience has suggested, that great inconveniences do arise to the citizens of this Commonwealth, by reason that many suits are burthened with enormous expenses, and the final determination of their disputes protracted to a tedious length of time, which operates almost to a total denial of justice: for remedy whereof,
§ 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that it shall and may be lawful for all persons desirous to end any controversy or suit by arbitration, mutually to agree to submit the said controversy or suit to the decision and determination of any person or persons whom the said party or contending shall chuse. And they are hereby authorised to nominate the person or persons so chosen, together with the nature of the disputes to them referred, to any court of record within this Commonwealth, and such court is hereby required to direct their clerk to enter the same of record, and such court shall thereupon issue their order certified by their clerk, directed to the said person or persons so chosen, signifying the nature of the dispute, that is to them submitted, and they are hereby authorised and empowered by a subpoena or subpoenas under the hand and seals of them or either of them, directed to any sheriff or constable, who shall execute the same, to cause to come before them at any time or place which they may chuse, any person or persons, whom either of the parties so contending, may require, as well without as within the county, to give evidence touching the premises, which witness or witnesses so summoned, shall be subjected to the same penalty and forfeiture for failing to attend and give evidence as they would be for failing to attend and give evidence in any court of judicature within this Commonwealth.
§ 2. And be it further enacted, that the arbitrators so chosen, before they enter on the investigation of such dispute, shall take an oath or affirmation, impartially to try and determine the dispute to them referred, according to law, evidence and the equity of the case, without favor or affection, to the best of their judgment; which oath shall be administered by any justice of the peace of the county. And such arbitrators so chosen, shall have power to hear and determine all matters of dispute, to them referred, in the most speedy manner that the nature of the case will admit: and they are hereby required to give to each of the contending parties, one written copy of their award in full, and also to make return of one other copy, under his or their hand or seal or seals, to the said court from which the order before mentioned did issue, which shall be entered of record, and become a final end and decision of all and every controversy or suit to them so submitted, and shall not be invalidated, unless it shall be made appear to such court, that such award, arbitration, or umpirage, was procured by corruption or other undue means, or that there was evident partiality in the arbitrators or umpires, or any of them; and any award, arbitration, or umpirage procured by corruption, or other undue means, or where there shall have been such evident partiality as aforesaid, such award may be set aside, and the party injured may thereupon appeal to the court of appeals, and to no other court whatever. Provided nevertheless, that the said appeal be made within three months after the return of the said award, and notice given to the defendant or defendants or their agents.
§ 3. And be it further enacted, that if the appeal aforesaid, shall not be made within the time aforesaid, the court to which the award has been returned, are hereby authorised and required to award execution thereupon in the same manner as if a regular suit had been instituted and Judgment had thereupon.
§ 4. And be it further enacted, that the clerks shall be allowed two shillings for making each of the records by this act directed, and no more; and the same fees for issuing execution and recording return, as is allowed in other cases in such court.
§ 5. And be it further enacted, that the
arbitrators appointed in conformity to this act, shall be allowed for their services, nine shillings per day, if demanded. And all witnesses summoned and attending, shall be allowed the same pay for traveling and attending, as they are now allowed for traveling and attending the courts of quarter sessions.
§ 6. And be it further enacted, that no award given by the arbitrators, chosen as aforesaid, shall be set aside for want of form, when such award contains the substance of what was intended by such arbitrators.
This act shall commence and be in force from and after the passage thereof.
An Act apportioning the representation among the several counties. Approved Dec. 19 1795.
BE it enacted by the General Assembly, that until it shall be altered by the legislature, the house of representatives shall be composed of fifty six members, to be elected from the several counties agreeably to a ratio of one member for every three hundred and thirty qualified electors within each county: that is to say, the county of Jefferson shall elect two representatives, the county of Nelson four representatives, the county of Shelby two representatives, the county of Hardin one representative, the county of Logan two representatives, the county of Greene one representative, the county of Washington two representatives, the county of Lincoln three representatives, the county of Mercer four representatives, the county of Madison four representatives, the county of Clarke four representatives, the county of Fayette seven representatives, the county of Woodford two representatives, the county of Scott two representatives, the county of Bourbon six representatives, the county of Mason five representatives, the county of Harrison two representatives, the county of Franklin two representatives, and the county of Campbell one representative. If before the next apportionment of representation made by the legislature, a new county shall be erected not entitled by its number of qualified electors agreeably to the ratio now fixed to a separate representation it shall be considered for the purpose of representation, as a part or parts of the county or counties, from which it shall be taken.
This act shall commence and be in force from the passage thereof.
Lexington, February 6.
[FROM A LONDON PAPER.]
Extract of a letter from Little Pern, county of Wicklow, Ireland, October 4.
Gold continues to be found in the same place in considerable quantities; a poor boy that had been taken from the work house, found a single piece valued at 17l. 1s. 3d. a humane gentleman took care of it for the boy: he gave the boy's mistress four guineas to buy a cow, and intends the rest for an apprentice fee for him — Three labourers living on that estate, got a piece of the amazing weight of 22 ounces; this was got in boggy ground; the first was found in gravel. Thomas Farrel, and four others in partnership, got six ounces and a quarter in pieces of quartz; a tenant on the land, one Ruffel, got two large pieces in swampy ground (where it is evident the stream formerly flowed); these pieces were not weighed; he refused 15 guineas and a crown for them: he demanded 18 guineas. The women, who are numerous, gather the gravel in bowls and wash it: they have got a considerable quantity among them: it is very small, in general the size of a pipe flut. On Thursday and Friday there were at least 1000 people there, 250 or 300 of them were working: they have now begun to dig deeper than at first; all the above large pieces were got on those days, and yesterday there was some got, but not much, as the workmen were breaking new ground. It is to be noted, that most of what has lately been found has more alloy of silver in it than what was first got. It is fortunate for the country that the harvest was nearly got in before the mine was discovered, otherwise not a laborer could be engaged. The quantity found, cannot be nearly ascertained, for only a few will own what they have procured: a single purchaser bought 184l. worth, during Thursday and Friday last.
October 24. From the Island of Lewis (one of the Western Isles of Scotland,) we learn, that a mine of gold and silver ore has lately been discovered there of the richest quality.
An extraordinary malady is found among our soldiers in Canada; they lose their eye-sight at sun set, and recover it in the morning. This periodical blindness continues with some of them for many months. The late Dr. Gaurie describes a similar malady in Russia. It is called by the peasants there, the hen-blindness; probably because it attacks the patients when the fowls go to rest.
There has no Mail arrived down the Ohio for 3 weeks past, and consequently no foreign news of a late date; what has prevented the arrival of the Mail we are at a loss to guess.
