CONGRESS.
SATURDAY, December 12.
This day the senate of the United States waited on the President with the following address, in answer to his speech to both houses of Congress, at the opening of the session.
To the President of the United States.
SIR, It is with peculiar satisfaction that we are informed, by your speech to both houses of congress, that the long and expensive war in which we have been engaged with the Indians north west of the Ohio, is in a situation to be finally terminated; and though we view with concern the danger of an interruption of the peace so recently concluded with the Creeks, we indulge the hope, that the measures you have adopted to prevent the same, if followed by those legislative provisions that justice and humanity equally demand, will succeed in laying the foundation of a lasting peace with the Indian tribes on the Southern as well as the Western Frontiers.
The confirmation of our treaty with Morocco, and the adjustment of a treaty of peace with Algiers, in consequence of which our captive fellow citizens shall be delivered from slavery, are events that will prove no less interesting to the public humanity, than they will be important in extending and securing the navigation and commerce of our country.
As a just and equitable conclusion of our depending negotiations with Spain, will essentially advance the interest of both nations and thereby cherish and confirm that harmony and good understanding which we have at all times desired to maintain, it will afford us real pleasure to receive an early confirmation of our expectations on this subject.
The interesting prospect of our affairs with regard to the foreign powers, between whom and the United States controversies have subsisted, is not more satisfactory, than the review of our internal situation; if from the former we derive an expectation of the extinguishment of all the causes of external discord, that have heretofore endangered our tranquillity, and on terms consistent with our national honor and safety, in the latter we discover those numerous & wide-spread tokens of prosperity, which in so peculiar a manner distinguish our happy country.
Circumstances thus every way auspicious demand our gratitude and sincere acknowledgements to Almighty God, and require that we should unite our efforts in imitation of your enlightened, firm, and persevering example, to establish and preserve the peace, freedom, and prosperity of our country.
The objects which you have recommended to the notice of the legislature, will, in the course of the session receive our careful attention, and with a true zeal for the public welfare, we shall cheerfully co-operate in every measure that shall appear to us best calculated to promote the same.
JOHN ADAMS, Vice-President of the United States, and President of the Senate.
To which the President was pleased to make the following reply:
GENTLEMEN, With real pleasure I receive your address, recognizing the prosperous situation of our public affairs; and giving assurances of your careful attention to the objects demanding legislative consideration: and that with a true zeal for the public welfare, you will cheerfully co-operate in every measure which shall appear to you best calculated to promote the same.
But I derive peculiar satisfaction from your concurrence with me in the expression of gratitude to Almighty God, which a review of the auspicious circumstances that distinguished our happy country, have excited: & I trust that the sincerity of our acknowledgements will be evidenced by a union of efforts to establish and preserve its peace, freedom and prosperity.
GO: WASHINGTON.
Lexington, January 23. Tumult in London.
On the 29th of October at least 200,000 people lined the Mall, parade, Parliament street, &c. while the king was passing to and from the parliament house. He was violently hissed, hooted and groaned at, with the cries of No King—No Pitt—No War—&c. the whole way; and when opposite the ordnance office, a ball broke one of his carriage windows, supposed to be fired from a house adjoining the ordnance office. On his return the hissing, groans, and cries were repeated. In passing through the park, the horse guards kept the crowd at a distance, until his majesty alighted, when a considerable tumult took place. The mob followed the state coach as it passed empty from St. James's to the Mews, and so pelted it with stones &c. as almost entirely to demolish it. So great a crowd was never known before, not even at a coronation.
From the London Gazette, October 31, 1795.
