BLANK WARRANTS and EXECUTIONS,
For County Court Magistrates, may be had at Office.
Debate on the Official conduct of the Secretary of the Treasury. Concluded.
Mr. Smith (in continuation.) It had been said by a member from Pennsylvania, Mr. Findley, that the laceness of the information from the Secretary made it inconvenient to go into an enquiry of his official conduct to near the close of the session.
To this Mr. Smith replied, that he did not expect such a remark from that quarter of the house. If the gentleman had not been prepared for the enquiry, or thought it an improper season to enter upon it, why did he second the motion for bringing forward the charges? If suspicion had so long existed against the integrity of the Secretary, why was not information called for at the beginning of the session? Why was the call delayed till the session was within a few weeks of its termination?
It was admitted that the Secretary had obeyed the order of the house with wonderful alacrity and promptitude, it was indeed strange that the gentleman who brought forward the charges would be the first to complain, that this was not time for their consideration.
Mr. Smith concluded by noticing the observations of Mr. Mercer and Mr. Madison, that the opinion of the house on the preceding resolutions, would not change the truth of facts, and that the public would ultimately decide whether the Secretary's conduct was criminal or not. — This, said Mr. Smith, was like the conduct of a prosecutor, who having chosen his jurisdiction, and being nonsuited, wished to appeal to another tribunal. Why were the resolutions brought before the house? Was it not to substantiate the truth of them by a vote? And had the prosecution succeeded, would the Secretary have had an appeal to the public? No — the resolutions would have been sent to the President; and the Secretary would have been removed, disgraced, and ruined forever, without appeal."
Mr. Ames prefaced his remarks on the business before the committee by some observations on the charges brought forward. He was happy that they were determined, and conceived that the defence could be crowded in a nutshell. As to the first charge in the resolution immediately before the committee he had seen no proof in support of it brought forward. It is founded only on assertion, and he conceived that contra-assertion was sufficient to meet it. No authority, it was said, was given to the Secretary to obtain the loan under the blendid authority of both acts. This is not one of the charges included in the resolutions before the committee, and therefore this is not the time to answer it. However, if this were fact, nothing criminal could, in consequence, be imputed, and since the purposes of both laws
were carried into execution, there could be no ground for saying that either was violated. He said much on the impracticability of the line of conduct which some gentlemen appeared to think should have been followed by the Secretary. It was impossible to keep different funds differently appropriated so inviolably separate as that one might not be used for the object of the other; all was right he conceded, provided what was taken was to be replaced. He was also of opinion that the overflowing of one fund could be applied to make up the deficiency of another, and that all that is necessary is to give priority to the appropriation. The money paid in Europe for interest on the loan was said to have been improperly applied; because the fund appropriated for the purpose was here; he insisted, that that money was absolutely represented here by an equal sum, and he contended, that though the interest was not paid in the identical coin appropriated, yet by allowing a very reasonable latitude of expression it could be said that the interest was paid with the money appropriated, for the applicability of the sums there depended on the existence of the fund here.
He next turned to the second charge in the resolution, and after showing, that the natural presumption was, that the Secretary either was instructed or had a discretionary power, he then vindicated his conduct in respect to the draft of money to this country.
He did honor to the motives of the gentlemen who had instituted the enquiry, and concluded an elegant speech, of which we cannot pretend to give the most faint idea, by a contrasted picture of our former and present situation as a country, dwelling upon the importance of preserving harmony, and insisting on the danger of giving rise to suspicions against a highly responsible officer, and of bringing forward charges not to be supported by proof.
After Mr. Ames had set down, the question was taken on the first resolution; and the committee divided fourteen to thirty-eight against it.
Mr. Giles, inclined to withdraw the remaining resolutions, conceiving that a division on the first, sufficiently expressed the sentiments of the committee.
Mr. Steele insisted on taking a question on each.
The Chairman informed that they could not be withdrawn; they were referred to the committee; a report on them must be obtained.
The second was lost without a division.
The third, which is as follows, came under consideration.
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury has omitted to discharge an essential duty of his office, in failing to give Congress official information in due time of
the monies drawn by him from Europe into the United States, which drawing commenced in December 1790, and continued till January 1793; and of the causes of making such drafts.
Mr. Boudinot read several items in sundry reports of the Secretary, to shew, that he had reported under a distinct head of loans, the money drawn from those loans; he insisted, that the Secretary had in this matter literally complied with the order of the house.
Mr. Madison remarked, that he had not reported monies laying in bank before they were transferred to the Treasurer's account.
Mr. Boudinot insisted that no sums were drawn but what were included in the report he had just referred to.
Mr. Lee supported the affirmative, Mr. Hillhouse the negative.
The house then, in committee of the whole, put the questions upon Mr. Giles's resolutions, relative to the Official Conduct of the Secretary of the Treasury, as published in our paper No. 33, of the 5th of May last.

PHILADELPHIA, May 13.
Some curious pecuniary manœuvring has lately taken place in this city. Menacing letters, demanding sums of money, were sent to several persons, through the medium of the post office, with fictitious signatures, and directing the money to be enclosed to their address, through the same channel. On Tuesday afternoon, a hair dresser, of the name of Gilfouz, brought a paper to the post office containing the several fictitious names, and requesting to receive the letters to them directed, if any. He was immediately apprehended, and, after some prevarication, acknowledged he had been employed by Mr. Joseph Ravara, who had threatened, in case of discovery, that an accomplice would infallibly assassinate him. Upon this evidence, Mr. Ravara was taken before an alderman, who confirmed the hair dresser's story; adding, that a person unknown to him, from Spanish America, had requested him to apply for these letters, for as they were in signatures of state, he dared not to appear, "lest he should embroil himself with the Spanish commissioners." Mr. Ravara is committed to jail to take his trial.
June 1.
By the ship James, arrived last Thursday at New-York from London, we have various accounts of the state of the war in Europe. The New-York prints not being yet arrived, we are obliged to take such information as has been communicated by letters from gentlemen in that city to their correspondents here.
One letter to a merchant in this city, by the said ship, dated London, 12th of April, says, "That Dumourier, finding he had lost the confidence of his army, had effected an escape, and was gone off to the enemy: Ostend was in possession of the Austrians, and the communication by posts was again completely opened throughout the country."
An arrival at Deal from Ostend, brought accounts there as late as the 4th of April, at which time there was neither Austrians nor French in that place, neither had they pulled down the tree of liberty, because they were in hourly expectation of the French army re-entering Ostend, and it was their best policy to stand ready to receive them as friends.
A letter, of which we give an extract, from New-York, written by a person of information says, "That the ship James brings very favorable accounts of the situation of French affairs; that their army was in strong force near Ostend, and that General Dumourier, instead of having sent off the commissioners to General Clairfait, was himself a prisoner at Lisle."
In this confused manner has the different reports by the James been communicated to us. Perhaps the Post from New-York may enable us to clear up the real state of the war; and should it appear that Dumourier has gone to Paris to take his trial, his character may yet be recovered from the late odium which has been cast upon it; for, this is the only mode in which he could act to retrieve his fame; besides it would have corresponded with his sentiments, expressed in the letter he wrote to the minister of war, immediately after the battle of the 17th of March, wherein he requested, in the strongest terms, to have an enquiry instituted into his conduct. At all events, if the London news were even true, that Dumourier had gone off, without being able to take any of the army, except a few cavalry with him, it will must convince all reasonable men, that the French army are not to be corrupted or diverted from the cause of liberty in which they seem re-
solved to persist, either for success or death. Under such impressions, it is vain for all the combined powers of Europe to think of extinguishing their enthusiasm. They may spend much blood in the contest, but the hand of Providence will finally direct them through all their sufferings, and rescue them from the perils of domestic as well as foreign foes.
Two sailors belonging to Great-Britain, have been taken up and lodged in jail, for riotous behaviour in the streets, and in houses, where they went in search of French sailors, some of whom they insulted. The insolence of these people has risen to a degree above blood heat.—Memento!
A vessel arrived at St. Eustatia, from St. Vincents, brought accounts, that a late arrival from England had brought intelligence of the Town having declared war against Russia, and all the other enemies of the French republic. This, it was observed, was more honorable to France, than the alliance of the day of Algiers was to England during the American war.
We are informed, that in consequence of instructions from the executive of the United States, to the attorney for the District of Pennsylvania, prosecutions have been instituted against John Singleterry and Gideon Henfield, charged with violating their duty as citizens of the United States, in entering on board the armed schooner Genet, in the service of France, and, with others on board the said schooner capturing several vessels, the property of the subjects of his Britannic Majesty, and otherwise annoying the trade and commerce of the said subjects, contrary to the laws of nations and the treaty of peace subsisting between the United States and his said Britannic Majesty.
The above named persons have been committed to the jail of the county of Philadelphia, to take their trials at the next Circuit court of the United States.
Singleterry is a native of Charleston, and has a family at Beaufort, in North-Carolina; Henfield was born at Salem, in Massachusetts.
LEXINGTON, July 13. The following extract is copied from a letter written by a gentleman in Cape Francois, May 8, to his correspondent in Philadelphia, and received by the brig Salley, Captain Cochran.
"The frigate La Concorde, of 44 guns and 4 howitzers, is arrived from Brest in 28 days, and brought here Mr. Galbaud, our new governor, with his lady, children, and sundry officers. He brings with him about four millions of money. This day the convoy has been seen coming from Port-au-Prince with two ships of the line, having the commissioners on board, with about 500 persons intended to be shipped for France."
Mr. Bradford, The following reply of a gentleman of Virginia, to the inquiry of a friend after his father's health, appears as replete with the "Johnsonian frenzy," as those copied from Woodfall's London Diary, and published in your paper No. 30.
"SIR," said he, "The intense frigidity of the circumambient atmosphere, had so concealed the pellucid aqueous fluid, of the enormous river Potomack, that with the most imminent and superlative reluctance, I was constrained to procrastinate my premeditated egession, into the palatine province of Maryland; for the medical, chymical and galenical coadjuvancy, and co-operation of a distinguished sanative son of Esculapius; whereby the peccant, deleterious matter of the athrites had pervaded the cranium, into which it had penetrated and as-
ended from the inferior pedestrals to major digit, of my paternal relative in consanguinity; consequently his morbidity was so exceedingly magnified as to produce an utter extinguishment of vivification."

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE SHIELD OF SORROW.
W HEN Heaven dissolves the sacred tie, Which binds two faithful souls in one, Where shall the sad survivor fly, The arrows of despair to shun?  O can the musing hours of grief A pause from keen remembrance know, Or rooted sorrow find relief From exempt forms of outward woe?  Can fortune's fruits his peace restore? Or can the sprightly song and dance, Where pleasure's festive train in all The mazy rounds of joy advance?  Ah me! this world no cure bestows, In vain is every human art, From pure Religion only flows A balm to heal the wounded heart.
