Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES.
Thursday, February 4. [Continued.]
Mr. Clymer, after some introductory observations, said that in his opinion, foreigners should be gradually admitted to the rights of citizens; that a residence for a certain time, should entitle them to hold property &c. but the higher rights of citizens, such as electing and being elected to office, should require a longer period. Permitting these rights to be assumed and exercised at a shorter period, would not operate as an inducement to persons to emigrate; as the great object in emigration is generally to procure a more comfortable subsistence, or to better the circumstances of the individuals; and the exercise of particular privileges is but a secondary consideration.
Mr. Page and Mr. Lee were in favor of an easy mode of admitting foreigners; and wished that the period, previous to their enjoying and exercising the rights of citizens, should be short; as this would tend greatly to encouraging emigrations into the united states.
Mr. Seney observed, that the united states have a right to impose the qualifications on the electors of officers for the general government but have no right to interfere in those of the electors of officers in the state governments: and while I am in favor, said he, of holding out proper encouragement to foreigners, and would very early admit them to hold property, yet I think it would be of dangerous tendency, to admit strangers suddenly to all the rights of citizens. He was opposed to adopting any mode that should interfere with the laws of the particular states; and in favor of referring the bill to a select committee.
Mr. Jackson was in favor of a recommendation. He said that there were so many propositions before the committee, that he should not know how to vote: he observed, that the ideas of some gentlemen with respect to naturalization, would subject the united states to the inconveniences and impositions which took place in some of the individual states; where it had been frequently the case, that in a warmly contested election, the wharves and shipping had been stripped of sailors, who were carried in bodies to vote.
Mr. Burke spoke largely on the subject, reprobated a system that would produce corruption and a violation of the rights of the citizens in elections, and moved for the recommittal.
Mr. Clymer said he was in favour of the motion; but thought it would be best to pass to the next clause first, which involved the case of that particular class of persons, denominated refugees.
Mr. Tucker proposed a clause by which foreigners should be admitted to the rights of citizens, so far as to possess property, immediately after their arrival in the country, by taking an oath of fidelity to the united states, and giving a satisfactory evidence of their intention to reside therein and that three years residence should be requisite to entitle them to the rights of election.

EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, January 9.
OUR letters from Paris on Thursday bring us curious intelligence. The Marquis de la Fayette received information of a new conspiracy being formed against the liberties of the people.
He made known to the King what he had discovered, but at the same time said, that he had not heard enough to
justify him in any proceedings. He made further enquiries however, and learned that a Monsieur de Favras, a gentleman in the suite of Monsieur the King's brother, had been endeavouring to corrupt the National militia—that a number of high persons were concerned, and that the plan was to corrupt 30,000 of the Paris guard, with which they were to seize on the Government of Paris—to kill the Mayor, the Marquis de la Fayette, and other distinguished patriots. Two officers engaged in the plot made this confession, and on Thursday last the Sieur de Favras, his wife, and two more persons were taken up—and the guards were in pursuit of several others.
Whatever truth there may be in this new plot, it had a most extraordinary effect in inflaming the public mind—and in a paper published on Friday, it was asserted, that Monsieur the King's brother was concerned—and that, in particular, a loan had been negotiated in his name, and money raised for the purpose of carrying into execution this new contrivance. This accusation induced Monsieur to go to the assembly of the representatives of the commons, at the Hotel de Ville, (which answers to our Court of common council at Guildhall) on Saturday afternoon—He was received with ceremony by twelve members, and placed next to the Mayor. A respectful silence succeeded to universal plaudits, and Monsieur addressed them in a speech to the following effect:
"The Sieur de Favras having been, on the evening of the preceding Thursday, arrested under suspicion of a conspiracy against the Chiefs of the Municipality, and against the peace and liberty of the public—there had appeared a paper, as odious as calumniating, in which he had been implicated, as having had particular connections with the Sieur de Favras. Monsieur declared, that in quality of a citizen of Paris, he had thought it his duty to come into the midst of his fellow citizens, to explain the relation in which he stood with this suspected individual, who had been for some time in his suite. He said, that having occasion for a sum of money, for the expences of his household, the Sieur de Favras had offered to procure a loan for him, of two millions, from the Dutch Bankers—he had accepted the offer, and had signed obligations to this amount. This was the whole of the negotiation he had with the Sieur de Favras."
Monsieur added, that he was sure they did not expect to hear him attempt to justify himself from any participation in an enterprise so infamous as the conspiracy in question—that his public conduct, and his well-known sentiments, would put him above all such suspicions—that after the second meeting of the Notables he had foreseen the revolution, and that, on every occasion, he had demonstrated himself to be a friend to the liberty of the people, and the public good. I have always thought (said Monsieur) that the authority of the King ought to be the basis of national liberty, as national liberty is the firmest support of the authority of the King."
This speech was delivered with elegance and simplicity and both in the stile and manner, was correct
and polished. It was received with the most lively acclamations.
The Mayor answered his Highness with that propriety and elevation of sentiment which has characterized his eloquence through the whole of his memorable progress.—As Mayor of Paris, he did not rise, but spoke sitting, as Monsieur had done so.
Jan. 11. So alarmed are the court of Madrid, at the clamours of the people, that in addition to the anathema published by the inquisition against the spirited pamphlets, which, in spite of the police, were daily spread abroad, an ordinance has been issued, enjoining all persons, except the grandees of Spain, not settled in Madrid, and who cannot prove substantial reasons for their temporary residence there, to quit the capital within fifteen days, under a penalty of fifty ducats. If this order shall be executed rigorously, twenty thousand persons will be expelled.
NEW-YORK, March 20 Extract of a letter from St. Eustatia, dated Feb. 19.
"This minute a part of the hill of this place gave way, and buried a number of the inhabitants of the lower town in the ruins. The number that fell victims in this unhappy catastrophe is not yet ascertained."
I hereby forewarn all persons from taking an assignment of a bond given by me to John Hinkson deceased, late of Bourbon county, for one hundred pounds, as the bond was given in consideration of two hundred acres of land, for which the said John Hinkson could not make a title agreeable to contract.
