MR. GERRY , of the committee appointed to prepare an estimate of the produce of the Impost and Tonnage for one year, brought in a report—It states, that from the imperfection of the returns of the imports, exports and tonnage, received from the several States, the committee was not able to furnish a perfectly accurate account.—The report estimates the nett produce of impost and tonnage as follows:

The report of the committee of conference on the subject of amendments to the Constitution was taken up: The committee advise to a concurrence in the amendments of the Senate, with some amendments—One of which was, “ The trial of all crimes shall be by a jury of the district in which the crime was committed ”—this was further amended by inserting the words State and immediately before “ district .” On the question for agreeing to the clause as amended, the Ayes and Noes were called for by Mr. BLAND:—Ayes 37.—Noes—14.
The House voted to reconsider the first article in their amendments, so far as to strike out the word “ less ” and insert the word more —so that the article now reads, “ there shall not be more than one representative for every 50,000 persons .” These amendments being agreed to—
Mr. MADISON proposed a resolution, that the President of the United States be requested to transmit to the executive of the several States which have ratified the Constitution, copies of the amendments; also, to the States of Rhode-Island and North-Carolina—this was agreed to.

It was voted that the two articles for discharging warrants should be struck out, which was carried. The committee then rose, and the chairman reported the bill, which it was ordered should lie on the table.

The amendment proposed in committee of the whole, by striking out the sum appropriated for the discharge of warrants, issued by the late Superintendent of Finance, was agreed to; and that for striking out the sum appropriated for the discharge of warrants issued by the late Board of Treasury, was agreed to.—Then the bill passed to be engrossed.

GENERAL THANKSGIVING.
Mr. BOUDINOT introduced a motion on the following purport:
Resolved , That a joint committee of both Houses be appointed to wait on the President of the United States, to request that he would be pleased to recommend a day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer, to be observed by the people of the United States, to acknowledge the favours bestowed upon them by Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of Government calculated to promote their prosperity and happiness.

A message was received from the President of the United States, by the Hon.
Mr. JAY, with the following communications, viz.
UNITED STATES, Sept. 29. Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
His Most Christian Majesty, by a letter dated the 7th of June last, addressed to the President and Members of the General Congress of the United States of North-America, announces the much lamented death of his son the Dauphin. The generous conduct of the French Monarch and nation towards this country, renders every event that may effect his or their prosperity interesting to us; and I shall take care to assure him of the sensibility with which the United States participate in the affliction which a loss so much to be regretted, must have occasioned both to him and to them.
G. WASHINGTON.
UNITED STATES, Sept. 29. Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
Having yesterday been informed by a joint committee of both Houses of Congress, that they had agreed to a recess to commence this day, and to continue until the first Monday in January next, I take the earliest opportunity of acquainting you, that considering how long and laborious this session has been, and the reasons which I presume have produced this resolution, it does not appear to be expedient to recommend any measures to their consideration at present.
G. WASHINGTON.
A resolution passed, for the transmission of the Journals of both branches to the Executives and Legislatures of the several States.
The House concurred in an amendment of the Senate to the bill for raising a force for the protection of the frontiers, authorising the President to call forth such numbers as shall be necessary for the defence of the frontiers generally.
The House then passed the bill in form for allowing the pay of a Captain for a certain time, to Baron de GLAUbeck; which being enrolled, was signed by the Speaker. The business assigned for the present session being finished, the Speaker, pursuant to Resolution, adjourned the House to the first Monday in January next, then to meet at the city of New-York.
CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES.
Begun and held at the city of New-York, on Wednesday the 4th day of March, 1789.
THE Conventions of a number of the States having, at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the government will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution—

L O N D O N, July 23.
During the tumults in Paris, M. LA-BUT, a private gentleman, gave 500,000 livres to assist the patriots, and at the same time offered his five children as volunteers in the cause.
The Marquis de la FAYETTE ordered the Bastille to be entirely demolished without consulting the King. A motion was made in the Town hall, to erect on the spot where the Bastille stood, a Statue, to be dedicated to Louis XVI—inscribed to the Father of his people, and the Restorer of Liberty!
A GENEROUS PROPOSAL.
Were England in the situation France is, and the blue and buff mob as formidable as the Parisian Canaille, our East and West India possessions would be snatched at by our Gallic neighbours. Why then should we tamely look on, and not profit by the wretched state of France? They would shew us no quarter in the same situation.
The Bank of Berlin, which acts under the King's authority, has lent 800,000 rix-dollars (about 160,000l.) to the King of Sweden; and a banking-house in Amsterdam has advanced about 100,000l. more on the security of the Swedish government.
August 7. By accounts received in town yesterday, we learn, that M. de Mesmay, who blew up so many of his neighbours at Vesoul, is taken, and certainly in the hands of justice.
His Excellency the French Ambassador has daily conferences with the cabinet ministers. Some measure of importance is certainly on the tapis, but particulars are kept too close to be known at present.
Mr. Fox's well known toast is now a popular one in France, May every soldier be a citizen, and every citizen a soldier, and the man that first gave it.
Mr. Fox did not clear less than 50,000l. at the last Newmarket meeting. He won every stake he betted—the odds against his own horse, which won easy.
THE BASTILLE.
From a person who was present and engaged. WE found fifteen persons only in that horrid dungeon. When they were first brought, they appeared, looked, and acted, like men just born!
I took out one man, whose beard reached down nearly to his middle. His gestures were those of a creature wild with astonishment. He said little, but what he did say was in French.
We brought him out and delivered him to the populace, who carried him away triumphantly on their shoulders. He had been confined the term of 37 years.
Another prisoner we brought out who had been imprisoned 15 years: He was meditating an escape: He made a very curious ladder of his own cloaths, which was brought out with him, together with a large bundle of papers, which he would not part with. He said, "they had been his only consolation." He was a Frenchman.
We found various instruments of punishment, and chains of the most massive kind.
KINGSTON (JAMAICA) August 12.
We learn from Grenada, that the cotton crop has been equal to any reaped for years past; but among the Islands dependent on the government of St. Vincent, together with Martinique, the caterpillars have totally destroyed the promising appearance the planters had before them. In Trinidad, the crop is utterly ruined by these pernicious vermin, and the bark eaten off the trees.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6.
Extract of a letter, dated Dominica, Sept. 6. "This day week the most diabolical design that every was formed, was discovered in Martinico.—It was an insurrection of the negroes, who were that night to have set fire to the large and beautiful town of St. Pierre; while the white people were all in confusion, and striving to escape the flames, they were to be butchered indiscriminately—man, woman and child. The combustibles were laid in upwards of 100 houses, (consisting of hemp dipt in turpentine.) The plot was not discovered until 5
o'clock in the evening, when a negro belonging to an old lady, stung with remorse on thinking that he must murder the woman who had brought him up from a child, discovered it to her. The troops being thereupon assembled, 40 of the negroes were taken, armed with a hanger and long knife; the instruments which were in a few hours to have put a period to the existence of upwards of 5000 people. All the inhabitants have been under arms ever since, as they are afraid the negroes will attempt to rescue the 40 who are in gaol; but this week they will all die on the rack."
BOSTON, October 9.
We hear that Col. Henry Sherburne of New-Port, lately manumitted a prime slave, of about 33 years of age. Such acts of humanity (many of which have taken place) by the late officers of the American Army, give fresh verdure to their laurels acquired in the field and furnish the surest pledges to their country for the future conduct of the Cincinnati.
From the Courier de Boston.
We read, in a London paper of the 8th of August, that Mr. Sheridan has openly accused Mr. Pitt of having employed more than two millions in fomenting the intestine divisions of France. If the Minister is thus accused, and cannot shew how that sum has been employed which is deficient in the treasury, it will be no longer difficult to account for the very great anxiety of the Duke of Dorset.
Yesterday were executed William Dennoe, William Smith, and Rachel Wall, pursuant to their sentence for highway robbery.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
On Monday morning last, was committed to the gaol in this town, one Edward Duff, who the preceding evening, with another person, attacked and knocked down a Frenchman, by the name of John Carlo, and while the other was endeavouring to rob him of a broach, took from him a purse containing five guineas and two crowns and then made off—the Frenchman followed Duff, until he ran into the barracks, near the Glass-House, where with the assistance of the watchmen, he was apprehended; the Frenchman swore to Duff.
SWEDES AND RUSSIANS.
Oct. 14. We have been in momentary expectation of hearing that a bloody battle had been fought between the Swedish and Turkish navies, and were informed by Capt. Page, who has arrived at Providence from Sweden, That the fleets mentioned in a late paper of our's, met on the 24th of July, and it being very calm, a battle ensued which lasted near seven hours—when the Russians, though much superior in weight of metal, bore away. The Swedes kept their station until morning, when they failed again to attack the Russians; but hearing that the fleet which had wintered in Denmark had made a junction with the other Russian fleet, they went into Carlscroon, where it is supposed they will wait until reinforced.

SHIP NEWS.
On Saturday the 14th inst. arrived at Cape-Ann, the brig Seaborne, Captain E. Mayo, from the coast of Africa, with 800 bbls. of oil. The Capt. informs, that just before he left the Bay of Wilwich, in lat. 23° S. a large point of land sunk more than 6 fathoms under water, in sight of the fleet then catching whales in that bay; and that a number of Bri-
tish and American seamen, who had been on shore at the same place, had very fortunately embarked on board their boats a few minutes before the land disappeared.
On Friday last, a fishing schooner arrived, having on board, Capt. Godhall and his crew, whom they took from the brig Enterprize, off the Isle of Sable, on the 24th September in a severe gale of wind, she then having 7 feet of water in her hold. When they left her she was on her beam ends, and must have soon gone down. They saved some few articles out of her. She was from Pool in England, bound to Portsmouth.
Extract of a letter from Petersburg (Russia) dated July 13, 1789.
"Last week a Swedish frigate as she lay at anchor, was taken by a small cutter of 18 guns, the cutter making a warp fast to her ring bolt, and hauling along side. Capt. Paul Jones, who was Admiral of the fleet, was taken up on suspicion of a contract with the Swedish fleet, and lays in jail, to be tried for his life. Capt. Peter Lander, of Salem, arrived here the day before we did."
On the 1st inst. the following number of vessels of 50 tons and upwards, were in the port of Philadelphia: 30 ships, 2 snows, 40 brigs, 12 schooners, 32 sloops. In all 116, exclusive of shallows, &c.

A CURE for the GOUT.
A FRAGMENT.
MY uncle had hardly seated himself in the arm chair, when his pain became intolerable. "When, said my uncle, "shall I get rid of all my vexations—a young wife who runs about the town, participating in all its follies and extravagancies, and a plaguy Gout, which prevents me from Running after her;—when shall I——"
Here a violent rap at the door interrupted my poor uncle's moans and meditations.
It was my aunt just returned from Lady Fashion's Faro Bank. She flounced in, regardless of my uncle's situation; and throwing herself negligently, though not inelegantly, on the couch, directly opposite to my uncle, protested violently against her ill-fortune; "Yes," says my aunt—and she took out a pocket mirror, "Fortune is certainly blind,"—my uncle sighed.
"My dear," says my aunt, "I have a request to make, which gives me pain to——" My uncle's pain was excessive—"Yes," cried my aunt, "I must have t'other five hundred."—Now my aunt in all her fashionable excursions had never seen the Provok'd Husband; but unfortunately for her, my uncle had.
"Must have t'other five hundred!" exclaimed my uncle—and he groaned with anguish. "Yes, my dear—I must—not a moment to loose—the table waits—have been upon honour for above an hour to the charming Charles Cadogan."
On hearing the name of Cadogan, my uncle started, and rang the bell which lay on the table.
"John," cried my uncle, "let me have Cadogan's Treatise.—It is on the window seat—you can't miss it."
My aunt was out of patience—My uncle took the book, and desiring my aunt to snuff the candles, opened it at the identical page where Cadogan attributes the Gout to three causes Indolence, Intemperance and Vexation.
My uncle paused, and taking off his spectacles, thus gravely addressed my aunt.
"I'm neither indolent nor intemperate, therefore my Gout must proceed from vexation; and, as I have no uneasiness but what you create—you may return to the Faro Bank—or go to the Devil—for, as I am determined to get rid of all vexation, I shall get rid of you immediately."
My aunt went out of the house that night—the lawyer came in next morning—and from the separation—since which five years have elapsed—my uncle has never once complained of the Gout.
AN AXION.
TWO easy things will satisfy mankind, An easy fortune and an easy mind; But the one thing that gives a man content Is a good conscience from a life well-spent.

A LL persons indebted to the Printer hereof both in town and country for Newspapers, Advertisements, &c. are earnestly solicited to make payment, and thereby enable him to continue and improve the New-Hampshire Gazette agreeable to his wishes. Of those persons in the country who find it difficult to procure cash he will receive produce, if presented seasonably (notwithstanding every article in his line of business commands ready cash).—He hopes there are none of his country customers so ungrateful as not to wish him to share a part of what nature has so bountifully bestowed upon them, if there should be, he hopes they will not take it amiss if after neglecting to comply with this reasonable request he should apply the old proverb, "A bird that can sing, and wont sing, must be made to sing."—To those who have been punctual in making their payments he tenders his grateful thanks, and assures them he will use his endeavor to merit a continuance of their favours.—Persons who incline to advertise in the Gazette, which has a very extensive circulation, may depend on having them conspicuously inserted on as low terms as in any paper in America.

ATTRACTION and REPULSION.

R EPULSION to Attraction cry'd "Why do you draw me thus aside?" Attraction answer'd in a crack, "If I pull this way, you pull back;" Both are induc'd with equal might, To keep the equilibrio right. Shou'd you, Repulsion, push too hard, The universe would soon be marr'd; And I, to quit my destin'd law, Shou'd soon the world to ruin draw; Then ne'er to join in friendship chase, 'Tis opposition keeps us safe. Thus in a nation parties view, Some THIS, and others THAT pursue; The quarrel has a good effect; For if these cheat us, THOSE detect; But should they leagues of friendship strike Why then they'd all be rogues alike.
