Proceedings of CONGRESS (Continued.)
In the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES of the UNITED STATES.
MONDAY, July 20.
THE engrossed bill to regulate light houses, &c. was read, and carried in the affirmative.
Mr. Smith (S. C.) moved that a committee should be appointed to bring in a bill, to authorise the several States to provide funds for the support of Hospitals for sick and disabled seamen, and for the regulation of their respective harbours. This motion was adopted, and Messrs. Smith, S. C. Carroll, and Clymer, appointed a committee.
The bill for establishing the government of the territory northwest of the Ohio was engrossed for a third reading to-morrow.
TUESDAY, July 21.
The engrossed bill to provide for the government of the territory northwest of the Ohio, was read and passed to be enacted.
Mr. Madison moved that the House should now form itself into a committee of the whole, on the state of the Union, to take into consideration the subject of amendments to the Constitution.
Mr. Ames proposed that the committee of the whole House should be discharged from their obligation to consider the motion of 8th of June on the subject of amendments, and that the said motion, and other amendments, as have been proposed by the several States be referred to a special committee—this being seconded by several members, occasioned a debate, which terminated in favour of the motion of Mr. Ames, by a large majority—and accordingly the following gentlemen were chosen by ballot, a special committee for the aforesaid purpose, viz. Messrs. Gilman, Goodhue, Sherman, Benson, Boudinot, Clymer, Vining, Gale, Madison, Burke, Baldwin.
It was then voted that the committee be instructed generally to take the subject of amendments to the constitution of the United States into consideration, and report.
WEDNESDAY, July 22.
The House went into a committee on the resolution respecting the Western Territory, and having gone through it, ordered that a committee be appointed to bring in a bill in pursuance of the same. Committee, Messrs. Scott, Sylvester and Moore.
Mr. Carroll moved, that the House now take up the report of the committee on the subject of the enrollment, attestation, publication and preservation of the acts of Congress.
This was however postponed, on Mr. Vining giving notice that this day he should move for leave to bring in a bill to establish a domestic department. This subject was connected with the one immediately preceding, as this establishment would provide a proper repository for the public records of the Legislature, and many objects of the re-
port might be comprehended in this provision.
Mr. Vining moved a resolution, that the President of the United States, be authorised and requested to provide a great and lesser Seal, with proper devices, for the use of the United States.
After some conversation in which it was observed that such a provision respecting the great Seal was needless and improper as one already existed; and some doubts were expressed as to the necessity of a privy seal, it was agreed that the motion should lie on the table.
Mr. Benson moved a resolution, that a committee should be appointed to bring in a bill to prescribe the form of commissions to be granted to the officers of the United States. Ordered to lie on the table.
THE PRESIDENT of the United States has been pleased to nominate, and by, and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint the following persons to the offices in the Revenue, affixed to their respective names—To hold their commissions during the pleasure of the President:

ST. JOHN, June 30.
On Sunday sen-night seven persons having been across the Grand Lake on a party of pleasure in a large canoe in returning home were caught in a squall, when the canoe filled and they were all unfortunately drowned.
From Queensbury we learn, that a severe Hail Storm did much damage to the grain, &c. there on Friday sen-night, that the ground was covered with Hail Stones, and that some of them measured five inches in circumference and killed pigs, poultry, &c.
We are sorry to inform our readers that the Hessian Fly has made its appearance in this country, two fields of Grain were cut down by them this summer in Belisle Bay. Various are the reports respecting the introduction of this insect into this province, some say, that a farmer of Belisle, had been in the States last year, and having heard much of the Hessian Fly, brought several of them in a small box to show to his friends, and that after he had satisfied their curiosity as well as his own, he imprudently gave these destructive creatures their liberty; others again say and perhaps with more probability, that he had brought a quantity of seed grain with him, that contained the eggs or embryos which the present season has hatched.
LANSINGBURGH, July 10.
A very sad disaster, we are told happened, a short time since, in Pittstown: A Mr. Patrick Agen (a man between 60 and 70 years old) was the owner of a mad bull—the surliness of this beast was often noticed by Mr. Agen's neighbours—they apprehended danger from him, and advised the owner to have him killed—Mr. Agen declined—but at the expense of his own life:—He having occasion to enter the enclosure where the bull and other cattle were feeding, was attacked by him—Armed with a stout walking stick, Mr. Agen made every resistance—but in vain—the bull bore too hard upon him—he attempted to escape to the fence, and had almost gained it—but was overtaken, thrown down and bored through the heart—he instantly expired!
PHILADELPHIA, July 29.
The first principle, which will guide our illustrious President in the choice of officers will be, a regard to the conduct of those in office, as to fidelity, and an attachment to the federal constitution—as it would be absurd indeed to chuse those to execute a government, who are opposed to its principles: The next principle will be—gratitude to the officers of the late army—who have so long suffered from the inability of their country to do them justice. In an address to the officers at the Public Building at New-Windsor, 15th March, 1783, the Commander in Chief, thus pledged himself, "For myself, and I take no merit in giving the assurance, being induced to it from principles of gratitude, veracity and justice, a grateful sense of the confidence you have ever placed in me, a recollection of the cheerful assistance and prompt obedience I have experienced from you under every vicissitude of fortune, and the sincere affection I feel for an army I have so long had the honor to command, will oblige me to declare in this public and solemn manner, that in the attainment of complete justice for all your toils and dangers, and in the gratification of every wish, so far as may be done consistently with the great duty I owe my country, and those powers I am bound to respect, you may freely command my services to the utmost of the abilities."
An account of the produce of different kinds of grain planted in the beginning of September, 1783, by Jacob Hiltzheimer, Esq.—Winter barley; one grain produced 65 heads, which contained 3900 grains:—Cape wheat;
one grain produced 64 heads, which contained 2816 grains:—White wheat; one grain produced 40 heads, which contained 2240 grains:—Yellow bearded wheat; one grain produced 58 heads, which contained 5016 grains: Speltz; two grains together produced 100 heads, which contained 4368 grains.
A L B A N Y, July 20.
A gentleman from Coeyman's (12 miles below this city) informs us, that Mr. Abraham Springstead, of that place, lately died there of the Hydrophobia . He adds, that is generally believed, Mr. Springstead became infected with the said disorder by skinning a cow, in April last, which had become mad, and was shot to prevent any accident which might otherwise happen—That on the 3d inst. upwards of three months from the time he became infected, he was taken with a pain in one of his hands and arms, which increased the day following his whole frame was affected—his senses gradually became disordered, until he was seized with fits of ravings and madness, which generally lasted for the space of about a minute, but often returned. In this state he continued until Monday, between one and two o'clock, in the afternoon, when, having disengaged himself from the cords with which he had been tied, he went out of the house about ten or fifteen paces, where he fell down and expired immediately—During his illness, he often complained of being very thirsty, but could not bear even the sight of water.—He has left a wife and two children to lament his untimely end.
B O S T O N, August 11.  INTELLIGENCE from NEW-YORK
August 2. As to news the papers contain all we have. There are no Appointments yet made—the nominations for the whole continent will be handed in to the Senate to-morrow as I hear—The Treasury Bill has passed the Senate, with some amendments—the clause respecting vacancies, which may happen in consequence of removals by the President, is left out—I suppose it is considered as unnecessary, as the principle is recognized in the Bill establishing the Department of Foreign Affairs.
A recess is talked of, to take place about the 1st of September.
The Judiciary Bill has not been taken up in the House yet—it is expected to come on the carpet to-morrow.
The coasting Bill is a very long one—and is not near finished, although its discussion has taken near a week.
The Collection Bill will be out to-morrow, or next day—it contains near thirty pages. As to Revenue Officers, I think you may expect to see those already in, continued in the several States—especially those who by being repeatedly appointed, are considered as having the best recommendations, viz. those of the Legislatures that have appointed them.
For several nights last past, a number of stores, &c. in this town have been broken open and articles stolen therefrom—and others attempted.
On Thursday 11 culprits received the discipline of the post in this town. The person obtained by the High Sheriff to inflict the punishment—from sympathetic feeling for his brother culprits, was very tender in dealing out his strokes, and not adding weight to them although repeatedly ordered, the Sheriff, to his honor, took the whip from his hand, and by an application of it to his shoulders drove him from the stage—and with the assistance of his Deputies inflicted the punishment of the law on all the culprits. The citizens who were assembled, complimented the Sheriff with three cheers for the manly, determined manner in which he executed his duty.
By the Brig Mary, Capt. Lemon—who arrived here on Saturday last, from Liverpool, we have received
English papers of June 11; they contain nothing of importance, except several resolutions of the Merchants, respecting the slave trade, which are too lengthy for insertion in this day's paper.
August 14. The Hon. Mr. Lincoln, Collector of imposts, &c. for this district, has appointed John Rice, Esq. Deputy-Collector.
He has also appointed Mr. William Shattuck, and Patrick Phelon, Esq. Weighers and Guagers for this district, and Mr. J. C. Minot, as inspector.
Mr. LEAR, the principal Private Secretary to The President of the United States, is a young gentleman belonging to New-Hampshire, and who was, we hear, at the request of the President, recommended to him by the Hon. Gen. LINCOLN, some years since.
S H I P N E W S.
Newyork, July 16. Arrived at Wilmington, Delaware, the brig Brothers, Capt. Jefferies, in 45 days from Belfast, with 170 passengers, who informs that in lat. 40, long. 53, 30, they fell in with part of a wreck, which he at the same time picked up, it being some square rigged vessel, foretopmast, topsail yard, a cap of the foremast, with all the shrouds, back stays, halliards, chain plates, dead eyes, &c. From the appearance, supposes her to be an European.
Two villains we hear, were detected on Monday evening in breaking into the store of Messrs. Larkin and Hurd, Charlestown.
The Hon. SAMUEL ROBINSON, and ISAAC TICHENOR, Esquires, are appointed delegates from the state of Vermont to the Congress of the United States—and have arrived at New-York. The object of their delegation is the admission of Vermont to the American Union.
It is a fact—mortifying as it may be—that Lord Dorchester's Secretary has advertised lands within the territory of the Sovereign States of America, and in the vicinity of the Western Posts, to be given away, in 200 acre lots, to any loyalists, &c. who shall chuse to settle on them.
The workmen at the Glass Works in this town, began blowing a few days since—and, it is said, have produced as good ware, &c. as any ever made.
S A L E M, August 11.
A knot of villains have of late been apprehended at Providence, on suspicion of being concerned in making and uttering counterfeit dollars. A dollar die, engraved for striking false money of the date of 1789, was found in their possession. Counterfeit French Crowns, bearing date of 1770, and doubloons or 15 dollar pieces in gold, have also been detected there.
P O R T S M O U T H, August 13.
It is said to be under consideration of the ministry at home to stop in future the importations of American Wheat from any of the Thirteen United States, even when the ports are open, the landed interest having been more hurt by importations from thence than from all other parts. The very low price of wheat in America makes their needy adventurers ship such quantities for Britain, when there is a prospect of the ports being open, as till the country for months after.
American wheat, by proclamation in the Gazette lately, has the same restriction continued on it for other 12 months, viz.—"That no American wheat shall be sold till samples of it are sent to be examined by the Privy Council, and approved of by them."—Of about 30 cargoes of it that arrived at Liverpool last year, only four or five were allowed to enter.
It is with pleasure we inform our readers of the appointment of the Hon. JOHN PICKERING, Esq. to that important office of Chief Justice of

his State; we are sorry to add, he has only so far accepted the important trust, as to give his determination at the next session of the General-Court, who it is hoped will order a reward equal to the trust, and enable a gentleman to fill the important office whose superior abilities, unshaken integrity, disinterestedness and love of justice, must render his appointment truly pleasing to his fellow-citizens, in whose confidence he largely shares.
The Legislature of New-York has resolved, that a house be erected on the lands near the fort, for the residence and accommodation of the President of the United States, and that at their next session they will make the necessary provision in the premises.
The Governor and Council of North Carolina, have sent a very respectful address to the President of the United States, and have received a gracious answer thereto. In the address they say, "they look forward with the pleasing hope of their State's shortly becoming a member of the Union."
It is supposed, that there have been built in the city of New-York near 1000 houses and stores since the peace, and that there has been expended in that time near 100,000l. in repairs of streets improvements, &c.
SHIP NEWS.
A squadron of his Most Christian Majesty's navy, is shortly expected to arrive in the harbour of Boston, to pass the approaching equinox. This squadron, consisting of 7 ships, was to have failed from the West-Indies about the 18th ult.
A boat lately passing from Norfolk (Virginia) to Hampton road, was overset in a thunder squall, and several persons drowned. A boy in the boat, finding her sinking, instantly laid hold of two oars, and the sprit of the sail, and lashing them together with his handkerchief, he supported himself 7 hours, till taken up by an inward bound schooner. The lad was much fatigued, but seemed only to lament the loss of his new black handkerchief , which he had bent but the day before.
DIED ---At Hollis, Mrs. Lydia Ulrich, widow, aged 105.
LOST ---Through carelessness, thirty good years of life ---of a gentleman, also, forty-two years of a lady , the latter, from a desire to appear beautifully slim . Whoever can inform the losers how they can be redeemed, shall be handsomely rewarded.
