TRANSLATIONS From Paris Papers.
FROM THE CHRONICLE.
The French and American Flags united!
The Minister of the United States of America, to the President to the National Convention.
"Paris, Sept. 2, second year of the Republic, one and indivisible."
"CITIZEN PRESIDENT,
"THE Convention having decreed that the Flags of the French and American Republics should be united and fly together in the Hall of its sittings, in testimony of the union and friendship which ought eternally to subsist between the two people: I thought I could not do less to manifest the deep impression this decree has made upon me, and the grateful sentiments of my constituents, than in executing their flag, to be offered, in their name, to the Representatives of the French people."
"I have had it made agreeable to the last form, decreed by Congress and have confided it to Citizen BARNEY, an officer of distinguished merit, who rendered great services upon the sea, during the course of our Revolution. He is charged to present it to you, and to deposit it in the place you may think proper to assign for it."
"Accept then, this Flag, Citizen President, as a new pledge of the sensibility with which the American people always receive any proofs of friendship, given them by their good and brave Allies, as well as of the pleasure and eagerness with which they cherish every circumstance tending to cement and consolidate the union and concord of the two Republics."
[Loud and repeated applause.] (Signed) JAMES MUNROE."
PRESENTATION of the AMERICAN FLAG.
Citizen BARNEY entered the Convention, bearing the American Flag; and amidst the reiterated plaudits of the Members, made the following short, but patriotic and comprehensive
ADDRESS.
CITIZEN PRESIDENT,
HAVING been charged by the Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, to bring to the Convention, the Flag which had been requested of him—a flag under which I have had the honor of fighting our common enemy, during the war which has secured our Liberty and Independence, I acquit myself of this honorable commission with the most lively satisfaction, and place it in your hands—Henceforth suspended on the side of the tri-coloured flag of the French Republic, it will become the symbol of the union which subsists between the two nations, and which will endure, I hope, as long as that Liberty which they have so bravely acquired, and so wisely secured.
Capt. BARNEY then advanced with the flag to the feet of the President, who gave him the fraternal embrace, amidst loud shouts of Vive la Republique!
Dr. FRANKLIN'S OPINION.
Extract of a letter written by the late Dr. Franklin, when in France, to the late Dr. Mather, of Boston.
"This powerful monarchy (speaking of the French) continues its friendship for the United States. It is a friendship of the utmost importance to our security, and should be carefully cultivated. Britain has not yet well digested the loss of its dominion over us, and has still at times some flattering hopes of recovering it. Accidents may encrease those hopes, and encourage dangerous attempts. A breach between us and France, would infallibly bring the English again upon our backs; and yet we have some wild heads among our countrymen who are endeavouring to weaken that connection."
"Let us preserve our reputation by performing our engagements, our credit by fulfilling our contracts, and our friends, by gratitude and kindness; for we know not how soon we may again have occasion for all of them."
B. FRANKLIN.
"Passy, May 12, 1784."
Duke of York's Defeat.
Official Letter from the Duke of York to Mr. Secretary Dundas.
Dated Head-Quarters, Grave, Sept. 17.
SIR,
In my last letter of the 13th inst. I acquainted you for his Majesty's information, with a report, which I had just received, of the enemy's having made a movement towards Oostwyk. It appeared, however, by the accounts of the next day, that this corps had fallen back in the night. The same accounts, confirmed by the reports of deserters, assured me, that a very considerable detachment, amounting to 15000 men, had been made towards Maastricht.
On Sunday afternoon a sudden attack, in which it appeared that the enemy were in great force, was made upon all my posts of the right; and that of Boxtel, which was the most advanced, was forced, with considerable loss to the Hesse Darmstadt troops, who occupied it.
As the line of my out posts upon the Dommel could not be maintained, while the enemy were in possession of Boxtel, it appeared necessary to regain it; at the same time the degree of resistance which the enemy could make would serve to ascertain whether this attack was supported by their army, with a view to a general attack, or was merely an affair of out posts.
I therefore ordered Lt. Gen. Abercromby to march with the reserve during the night, with directions to reconnoitre the post at day light, and to act as he should judge best, from what he should discover of the enemy.
Lieut. Gen. Abercromby having advanced as directed, found the enemy in such strength as left little room to doubt of the proximity of their army, and he retired, but in such good order, as prevented the enemy from making any impression, altho they followed him for some distance.
About this time I received private information upon which I could rely, and which was confirmed by the observation of my patrols, and the reports of deserters, that the enemy had been reinforced by the corps which had hitherto been acting in West Flanders, as well as by a column of the army which had been employed before Valenciennes and Conde. The same information assured me also, that the column which had been marching towards Maastricht, had suddenly turned towards us.
From those accounts, and what I knew of the previous strength of the enemy, it appeared that the actual force now advancing against me, and whose object could only be an attack upon my army, could scarcely be less than eighty thousand men.
The hazard of an action, with such a very great disparity of numbers, could not but become a matter of the most serious consideration: and, after the most mature deliberation, I did not think myself at liberty to risk, in so unequal a contest, his Majesty's troops, or those of his Allies serving with them. I had the utmost reliance on their courage and discipline, and I had no doubt but that these would have enabled me to resist the first efforts of the enemy; but it could scarcely be expected that even by the utmost exertion of these qualities, they would be able to withstand these reiterated attacks, which the vast superiority of the enemy would enable them to make, and which we know, from experience, is a general principle upon which they act.
Actuated by these reasons, and the further informations which I received about noon, that the enemy were marching considerable columns towards my left, in which my situation was most vulnerable; I determined on retreating across the Meuse. The army accordingly marched at three o'clock, and without any loss whatever took up a position which had been previously reconnoitred about three miles in front of this place, from which they crossed the river yesterday morning.
The loss in the attack upon the out posts has fallen chiefly upon the Hesse Darmstadt troops, with some of the foreign troops newly raised for his Majesty's service. I have not as yet, however, received the returns.
I am, &c. (Signed) FREDERICK.
SALEM, November 25.
Important and Authentic NEWS!
Received by the Ketch Eliza, Capt. PHILLIPS, which arrived on Sunday from Bourdeaux, in 36 days.
On the 17th September, by his letter to the Convention, General JOURDAN announced his attack, of 18000 Austrians, entrenched at Emeux and Spretent. He took 700 prisoners, 26 pieces of cannon, 3 flags, and found on the field 2000 killed and wounded, and 100 horses, &c. An after letter makes this victory more considerable. Their camp at Chartres was also abandoned—On the 18th September Reckheim and Stockham were forced. Aix la Chapelle delivered JOURDAN its keys. Maastricht was invested at every point; 15 vessels, with forage, flour, &c. worth a million livres, were captured at its investment.—On the 22d September was announced to the Convention the capture of Crevecoeur and Keiserlauteren. The last mentioned place is 42 miles S. of Mentz, and 32 S. W. of Worms. It had been re-taken from the French a few days before by a junction of all the enemy's forces, with great loss on their side. It was said that of several whole regiments, there remained only 100 men, Crevecoeur commands the sluices of Bois-le-Duc on the right of the Meuse. The advantages by its capture are 500 men, 29 pieces of cannon, 1000 muskets, 30,000lb. powder, and terror to Bois-le-Duc!—On the same day was announced to the Convention, the capture of 30 vessels of the enemy, and the sinking of 9.—On the 24th September, the French were attacked in the neighbourhood of St. Sebastian's by six thousand Spaniards, who were repulsed by only 600 Republicans, with the loss of 32 prisoners, and 150 deserters of the Walloon (or King's) Guards.—On the 18th September, the army in Italy gained great advantages over a junction of troops destined to act against Savoy. The enemy were driven from their entrenchments with the loss of 1000 men killed and wounded. Provisions were taken sufficient for one month's supply of the army. In this engagement, one hundred Republicans were wounded in the breast by the bayonet.—On the 19th September the Spaniards attacked the French near Bellegarde (a strong place in Roussillon, on the frontiers of Catalonia; it is considered as an important place, and fortified, on account of being a passage to the Pyrenees) but were repulsed, leaving on the field 600 men, and 4 pieces of cannon.—Under the Brussels head, 26th September it was mentioned that JOURDAN pursued his triumphant march, while the Austrians retire with incredible precipitation. He is already at Juliers, and has effected the passage of the Roer. The Austrians are withdrawing their stores from Cologne.—It appears that from the engagement of the 16th September, the Combined Powers on the Rhine
are completely routed.—On the 14th September, PICHEGRU attacked the Duke of York, who fell back with the loss of 5000 prisoners, and 8 pieces of cannon.—On the same day two battalions of Hessians laid down their arms to 30 Republicans. On the day after, the Duke of York attempted the retaking of Boxtel, with 5000 men—but was obliged to retreat by 500 Republicans. [Note. Altho this circumstance appears very improbable, if the reader will but recur to the Duke's own letter, he will find it partly confirmed. Lt. Gen. Abercromby having marched in the night to Boxtel, with directions to reconnoitre that post at day-light, he found the enemy in such a situation as left little room to doubt of the proximity of their army, and he accordingly retreated. Now the French official accounts make their number at that time in Boxtel but 500]—PICHEGRU states his whole loss in killed and wounded in those engagements to be only 15.—There were captured at St. Sebastian's, as appears by official letters, 472 pieces of cannon, and 28,000 muskets. A fleet had sailed from Bourdeaux with stores, &c. for this place. The exactions upon the 18 conquered cities amount to Sixty Millions of Livres. Fourteen Millions, Five Hundred Thousand had been collected and sent to Paris, in addition to what had been stopped for the supply of the armies. The Electoral Throne of Treves has been sent to Paris. The Guillotine has been out of use since Robespierre fell, and Moderation appears to be the order of the day. A number of officers who commanded at La Vendee had been put under arrest for their cruel treatment of the insurgents. The report of the assassination of TALLEN, member of the Convention, is a report only.
Further Translations from Paris Papers.
WARSAW, Aug. 6.
The Russian troops have beaten at Vilna. The Polish General has sequestered all the money belonging to the Duke of Courland. The Polish army which acts in Prussia, has not been less successful. It has burnt Sierp. Ostrovitz and Visna are in its possession. The brave Poles have carried the entrenchments of Ploizuka by assault. The Prussian rear guards has been cut to pieces by their cavalry, and the Prussian General could rally with difficulty the remainder of his forces to retreat to the heights. The Russian Gen. Reut was killed in the action of Kolno. Another division of the Poles has thrown itself into Rotkamin.
They have outlawed the traitor Wieniswolski, convicted of having given up Cracow for three thousand ducats.
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 20.
Sweden and Denmark have demanded satisfaction of the Cabinet of London. The audacious pirates carrying the English flag, and encouraged by that Government, have a long time insulted the neutrality and independence of the North. Three ships have failed to join the allied squadron in the sound, which with some ships of the line expected will form the best fleet ever seen in the Baltic.
STOCKHOLM, AUG. 12.
The Russian Ambassador, Romanzow, has delivered to the Swedish Minister the declaration of the Cabinet of Peterburg, in answer to the demand made of the last to deliver up Armfeld, provided he should seek an asylum in Russia. That the court of Russia would act in this circumstance, as the court of Sweden had done in the beginning of the present century, when it refused to deliver up some Russian Rebels who had put themselves under their protection. The Russian Minister returned to Peterburg under pretext of arranging his affairs, but this retreat, so soon after the declaration which we are to make, has excited suspicions of an approaching rupture. The change in the Russian Ministry by the dismissal of Osterman and Bodborne seems to confirm it. It is remarked, that the Swedish Minister has obtained of the Regent leave of absence for a month.
The government of Holland have armed a small fleet of frigates, cutters, and gun-boats, to be stationed at Williamstadt, and in the Merdick. They have reinforced the garrison of Amsterdam by troops drawn from the Hague. Gen. Golowkin commands at Amsterdam.
From undoubted authority we are informed, that Governor SIMCOE, is recalled from the government of Upper Canada, by the British Court. Pittsburgh Gazette.
WHITESTOWN, Nov. 5.
A gentleman directly from Canandarque, informs, that 1600 Indians had come to the treaty on Monday 1st inst.—and also, that Wm. Johnson, a British Indian agent, and a Mr. Street, the Indian interpreter, from Niagara, were also there; and had found means to collect 26 chiefs in a bye place and were haranguing of them in the most eloquent and flattering manner, when discovered by the inhabitants. They were using the most persuasive arts together with offers of large presents, to induce the Indians to turn their arms against the United States. The meeting broke up in a disorderly manner. The inhabitants were greatly exasperated at this insolent conduct of British agents; and it is said they gave out, that if Col. PICKERING did not cause their arrest, they would inflict upon them the Yankee punishment of tar and feathers.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 14.
A gentleman of considerable political information, was so kind as to extract for us the following paragraph, from a letter, which he has received from Bourdeaux, dated Sept. 19.—"An attempt has been made to assassinate the famous TALLEN.—He received three wounds none of which are mortal. He is in a fair way of recovery. BARRERE was also struck
by the arm of an assassin. His wound is 'but flight.'"
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.
Extract of a letter from an American in London, dated September 14, received by the San- jom.
"The French have discovered an instrument which they call a Telegraphe, by which they convey dispatches 100 miles in three hours. It may appear to you almost impossible, but you may depend upon its being true. The Convention has sent dispatches to Lisle (about 120 miles) in the morning and had answers before they separated for dinner. They can send dispatches from the army in Flanders to the army in Spain in one day."
"The plan of the Telegraphe is by beacons on heights, at the distance of 12 or 15 miles from each other; in all these glasses are placed. The words to be conveyed are exhibited on the first, read, and exhibited by a short process at the second; and so on through the whole line. What the process is for copying the words so expeditiously, and for throwing such a body of light as to make them appear visible at such a distance, we know not, but it is clear that the experiment has complete success. Conde surrendered at 6 o'clock in the morning: At the meeting of the Convention at 9 o'clock the same day, it was announced to them."
"It is reported that there has been a revolution in the King of Prussia's dominions, which has occasioned his raising the siege of Warlaw."
"The King of England has taken into pay one hundred thousand men, from the Emperor, for the present and next campaign against the French. The Duke of York will leave the army, and the Marquis Cornwallis takes his place. The Prince of Cobourg has resigned, and the Emperor's brother, the Arch-Duke Charles appointed, a young man about 22. The allies have worn out all their old Generals."

Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, to a merchant in Philadelphia, dated Sept. 17, received at Annapolis.
"The Portuguese squadron are still in the bay, and are very ready to give assistance to your colors. They destroyed an Algerine galley, which had the assurance to come down thus far, but the crew got on shore into Spain."
A report, via Jamaica, is in circulation, that PORT-AU-PRINCE is taken by the Sans-Culottes.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Friday last arrived at Marblehead, the brig Galen, Capt. Eddy, of this port, after a passage of 63 days from London. In her came passengers—Mr. Campbell of this town, mer. Capt. Lewis, and Mr. Powell, manager of the Boston Theatre, with the following re-inforcement to his Theatrical troop—viz: Messrs. Taylor, Hipworth, Villars, Heely, Hughes. Mrs. Huges, Hilliar, Miss. Harrison and Mr. Bartlett returned, with his sister and niece.
UNITED STATES COINAGE.
Some of the Dollars now coining at the mint of the United States, have found their way to this town. A correspondent put one into the Editor's hands yesterday. Its weight is equal to that of a Spanish dollar, but the metal appears finer. One side bears a Head, with flowing tresses, incircled by Fifteen Stars , and has the word "LIBERTY" at the top, and the date, 1794, at the bottom. On the reverse, is the Bald Eagle, enclosed in an Olive Branch, round which are the words "United States of America." The exergue is well milled, indented in which are the words "One Dollar, or unit;" "Hundred Cents." The tout ensemble has a pleasing effect to a connoisseur; but the touches of the graver are two delicate, and there is a want of that boldness of execution which is necessary to durability, and currency. They will be improved upon.
HAVERHILL, Nov. 21.
On Tuesday last, that noble structure the BRIDGE over Merrimack River, was open for passengers, (a work stupendous and which was thought by our ancestors impracticable; but by the genius of the worthy President and Directors in its organization, will be the wonder and praise of posterity!)—At sun rising flags were displayed and cannon discharged from the several Arches: At three o'clock, P. M. the President, Vice President and Directors, Artificers, and Labourers with some tools emblematical of their profession, walked in procession over it, from this Town to Bradford shore, followed by the Clergy, Civil and Military Gentlemen, the School Master with his Scholars, and others which collected upon the occasion, to the number of about 200—On the verge of the ri-

ver a collation was provided for them by the pro- prietors, and the whole invited to partake.— At fun setting the several flags were struck at the discharge of the cannon on the bridge, and the company separated.—The regularity and or- der that was observed among such a large col- lection, was very remarkable.
The strength, elegance, workmanship, and situation of this Bridge is not equalled in Ame- rica, and perhaps not excelled in the World : It is 860 feet long, with three Arches 182 feet each in length, 34 feet wide, supported by Stone piers and buttresses.

Tuesday, November 18.
A MESSAGE was received from the Senate, by Mr. OTIS, their Secretary, by which the house was informed, that a quorum of the Senate was assembled, and had appointed a committee, consisting of Mr. IZARD and Mr. LANGDON, to join a committee of the house, to wait on the President of the United States, and inform him, that a quorum of both houses were assembled for the dispatch of public business, and are ready to receive such communications as he may have to lay before them.
The house took the message into considera- tion, concurred with the Senate, and appointed a committee on their part consisting of Mr. BOUDINOT, Mr. GILMAN, and Mr. DEARBORN.
The report of the committee of the whole, on the case of James White, was taken up by the house, and finally agreed to—in consequence of which Mr. White takes his seat as a Represen- tative in Congress from the territory of the United States, south west of the river Ohio.
The committee who had waited on the Pres- ident, reported, that they had executed the bus- iness assigned them—and informed the house, that the President had appointed To-morrow at 12 o'clock, to meet both branches of the Legis- lature, in the hall of the House of Representa- tives.
Wednesday, November 19.
This day at 12 o'clock, the PRESIDENT of the United States met both Houses of the Le- gislature in the Hall of the House of Representa- tives, and delivered the following
ADDRESS:
Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives,
WHEN we call to mind the gracious indulgence of Heaven, by which the American people became a nation ; when we survey the general prosperity of our country, and look forward to the riches, power, and hap- piness, to which it seems destined ; with the deepest regret do I announce to you; that dur- ing your recess, some of the citizens of the Uni- ted States have been found capable of an insur- rection. It is due, however, to the character of our government, and to its stability, which can- not be shaken by the enemies of order, freely to unfold the course of this event.
During the session of the year 1790, it was expedient to exercise the legislative power grant- ed by the constitution of the United States, to "lay and collect excises." In a majority of the States, scarcely an objection was heard to this mode of taxation. In some, indeed, alarms were at first conceived, until they were banished by reason and patriotism. In the four western counties of Pennsylvania, a prejudice, fostered and embittered by the artifice of men who la- bored for an ascendancy over the will of others, by the guidance of their passions, produced symp- toms of riot and violence. It is well known, that Congress did not hesitate to examine the complaints which were presented, and to relieve them, as far as justice dictated, or general convenience would permit. But the impression which this moderation made on the dissatisfied did not correspond with what it de- served ; the arts of delusion were no longer con- tinued to the efforts of designing individuals.
The very forbearance to press prosecutions, was misinterpreted into a fear of urging the ex- ecution of the laws ; and associations of men be- gan to denounce threats against the officers em- ployed—From a belief that, by a more formal concert, their operation might be defeated, certain self-created societies assumed the tone of condemnation. Hence while the greater part of Pennsylvania itself were conforming them- selves to the acts of excise, a few counties were resolved to frustrate them. It was now perceiv- ed, that every expectation from the tenderness which had hitherto been pursued, was unavailing, and that further delay could only create an opin- ion of impotency, or irresolution in the govern- ment. Legal process, was therefore, delivered to the Marshal, against the rioters and delin- quent distillers.
No sooner was he understood to be engaged in this duty, than the vengeance of armed men was aimed at his person, and the personal pro- perty of the Inspector of the Revenue. They fired upon the Marshal, arrested him, and de- tained him for some time a prisoner. He was obliged by the jeopardy of his life, to renounce the service of other process, on the west side of the Alleghany mountain ; and a deputation was afterwards sent him to demand a surrender of that which he had served. A numerous body repeatedly attacked the house of the Inspector, seized his papers of office, and finally destroyed by fire, his buildings, and whatsoever they con- tained. Both of these officers, from a just re- gard to their safety, fled to the seat of government ; it being avowed, that the motives of such outrages were, to compel the resignation of the In- spector ; to withstand, by force of arms, the authority of the United States, and thereby to
extort a repeal of the laws of excise, and an al- teration in the conduct of government.
Upon the testimony of these facts, an as- sociate justice of the Supreme Court of the Uni- ted States notified to me, that "in the coun- ties of Washington and Alleghany, in Penn- sylvania, laws of the United States were opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, by com- binations, too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the power vested in the Marshal of that district" —On this call, momentous in the extreme, I fought and weighed what might best subdue the crisis. On the one hand, the judiciary was pronounced to be stript of its capacity to enforce the laws : Crimes which reached the very exis- tence of social order, were perpetrated without controul ; the friends of government were in- sulted, abused, and overawed into silence, or an apparent acquiescence ; and to yield to the trea- sonable fury of so small a portion of the United States, would be to violate the fundamental principle of our constitution, which enjoins, that the will of the majority shall prevail.—On the other, to array citizen against citizen—to publish the dishonor of such excesses—to en- counter the expense and other embarrassments of so distant an expedition, were steps too deli- cate—too closely interwoven with many affect- ing considerations, to be lightly adopted. I postponed, therefore, the summoning the mili- tia immediately into the field : But I required them to be held in readiness that if my anxious endeavors to reclaim the deluded, and to con- vince the malignant of their danger, should be fruitless, military force might be prepared to act, before the season should be two far advan- ced.
My proclamation of the 7th of August last, was accordingly issued, and accompanied by the appointment of Commissioners, who were char- ged to repair to the scene of insurrection— They were authorised to confer with any bo- dies of men, or individuals.—They were in- structed to be candid and explicit, in stating the sensations which had been excited in the Executive, and his earnest wish to avoid a re- sort to coercion, to represent, however, that without submission, coercion must be the resort ; but to invite them, at the same time, to return to the demeanor of faithful citizens, by such accommodations as lay within the sphere of executive power—pardon, too, was tendered to them by the government of the United States, and that of Pennsylvania ; upon no other con- dition, than a satisfactory assurance of obedience to the laws.
Although the report of the Commissioners, marks their firmness and abilities, and must unite all virtuous men, by shewing that the means of conciliation have been exhausted ; all of those who had committed, or abetted the tumults, did not subscribe the mild form, which was proposed as the atonement ; and the indi- cations of a peaceable temper were neither suf- ficiently general, nor conclusive to recommend or warrant the further suspension of the march of the Militia.
Thus, the painful alternative could not be discarded. I ordered the Militia to march, after once more admonishing the insurgents, in my proclamation of the 25th of September last.
It was a task, too difficult to ascertain with precision, the lowest degree of force competent to the quelling of the insurrection. From a respect, indeed, to economy, and the ease of my fellow-citizens, belonging to the Militia, it would have gratified me to accomplish such an estimate. My very great reluctance to ascribe too much importance to the opposition, had its extent been accurately seen, would have been a decided inducement to the smallest efficient numbers. In this uncertainty, therefore, I put into motion fifteen thousand men, as being an army, which, according to all human calcula- tion, would be prompt and adequate in every view, and might perhaps, by rendering resistance desperate, prevent the effusion of human blood. Quotas had been assigned to the States of New- Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia ; the Governor of Pennsylvania having declared on this occasion an opinion which justified a requisition to the other States.
As Commander in Chief of the Militia, when called into the actual service of the Uni- ted States, I have visited the places of general rendezvous, to obtain more exact information, and to direct a plan for ulterior movements. Had there been room for a persuasion that the laws were secure from obstruction—that the civil magistrate was able to bring to justice such of the most culpable as have not embraced the proffered terms of amnestie, and may be deemed fit objects of example ; that the friends of peace and good government were not in need of that aid and countenance which they ought always to receive, and I trust, ever will receive, against the vicious and turbulent, I should have caught with avidity, the opportunity of restoring the Militia to their families and home. But suc- ceeding intelligence has tended to manifest the necessity of what has been done, it being now confessed, by those who were not inclined to exaggerate the ill conduct of the insurgents, that their malevolence was not pointed merely to a particular law ; but that a spirit inimical to all order has agitated many of the offenders.
If the state of things had afforded reason for the continuance of my presence with the army, it would not have been withheld ; but every appearance assuring such an issue as will redound to the reputation and strength of the United States—I have judged it most proper to resume my duties at the seat of government, leaving the chief command with the Governor of Virginia.
Still, however, as it is probable, that in a commotion like the present, whatever may be the pretence, the purposes of mischief and re- venge may not be laid aside ; the stationing of a small force, for a certain period, in the four western counties of Pennsylvania, will be indis- pensable, whether we contemplate the situation
of those who are connected with the execution of the laws, or of others, who may have exposed themselves by an honorable attachment to them.
Thirty days from the commencement of this session, being the legal limitation of the employ- ment of the militia, Congress cannot be too early occupied with this subject.
Among the discussions which may arise from this aspect of our affairs, and from the docu- ments which will be submitted to Congress, it will not escape their observation, that not only the Inspector of the Revenue, but other offi- cers of the United States, in Pennsylvania, have, from their fidelity in the discharge of their func- tions, sustained material injuries to their pro- perty. The obligation and policy of indemni- fying them are strong and obvious. It may also merit attention, whether policy will not enlarge this provision to the retribution of our citizens, who, though not under the ties of office, may have suffered damage by their generous ex- ertions for upholding the constitution and the laws. The amount, even if all the injured were included, would not be great ; and on future emergencies, the government would be amply repaid by the influence of an example that he, who incurs a loss in its defence, shall find a recompence in its liberality.
While there is a cause to lament that occur- rences of this nature should have disgraced the name, or interrupted the tranquility, of any part of our community, or should have diverted to a new application, any portion of the public re- sources, there are not wanting real and substan- tial consolations for the misfortune. It has de- monstrated that our prosperity rests on solid foundations ; by furnishing an additional proof, that my fellow-citizens understand the true prin- ciples of government and liberty ; that they feel their inseparable union—that, notwithstanding all the devices that have been made use of to sway them from their interest and duty, they are now as ready to maintain the authority of the laws against licentious invasions, as they were to defend their rights against usurpation. It has been a spectacle displaying to the highest advantage the value of republican government, to behold the most and least wealthy of our ci- tizens standing in the same rank as private sol- diers, pre-eminently distinguishing by being the army of the constitution undeterred by a march of three hundred miles, over rugged mountains, by the approach of an inclement season, nor by any other discouragement. Nor ought I to omit to acknowledge the efficacious and patriotic co- operation which I have experienced from the Chief Magistrates of the States to which my re- quisitions have been addressed.
To every description, indeed, of citizens, let praise be given ; but let them persevere in their affectionate vigilance over that precious deposi- tory of American happiness, the Constitution of the United States. Let them cherish it too, for the sake of those, who from every clime are daily seeking a dwelling in our land. And when, in the calm moments of reflection, they shall have retraced the origin and progress of the insurrection, let them determine, whether it has not been fomented by combinations of men, who careless of consequences, and disre- garding the unerring truth, that those who rou- se, cannot always appease a civil convulsion, have disseminated, from an ignorance or perversion of facts, suspicions, jealousies and accusations of the whole government.
Having thus fulfilled the engagement which I took, when I entered into office, "to the best of my ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States," on you, gentlemen and the people by whom you are de- puted, I rely for support.
In the arrangements to which the possibility of a similar contingency will naturally draw your attention, it ought not to be forgotten, that the militia laws have exhibited such striking de- fects, as could not have been supplied but by the zeal of our citizens. Besides the extraor- dinary expense, and waste, which are not the least of the defects ; every appeal to the laws is attended with a doubt on its success.
The devising and establishing of a well-regu- lated militia would be a genuine source of legis- lative honour, and a perfect title to public grate- itude. I therefore entertain a hope, that the present session will not pass, without carrying to its full energy, the power of organizing, arming and disciplining the Militia ; and thus providing in the language of the Constitution, for calling them forth to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection, and repel invasion.
As auxiliary to the state of our defence to which Congress cannot too frequently recur, they will not omit to enquire whether the forti- fications which have been already licenced by law, be commensurate with our exigencies. The intelligence from the army under the com- mand of General WAYNE, is a happy preface to our military operations against the hostile In- dians North of the Ohio. From the advices which have been forwarded, the advance he has made must have damped the ardour of the savages, and weakened their obstinacy in waging war against the United States ; and yet, even at this late hour, when our power to punish them cannot be questioned, we shall not be unwilling to cement a lasting peace, upon terms of candour, equity and good neighborhood.
Towards none of the Indian tribes have over- tures of friendship been spared. The Creeks in particular are covered from encroachment by the interposition of the General Government, and that of Georgia. From a desire also to re- move the discontents of the Six Nations, a set- tlement mediated at Presq'Isle, on Lake Erie, has been suspended ; and an agent is now en- deavoring to rectify any misconceptions, into which they may have fallen.—But I cannot refrain from again pressing upon your deliberations, the plan which I recommended at the last session, for the improvement of harmony within our limits, by the fixing and conducting of trading houses, upon the principles then expressed.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
The time which has elapsed since the com- mencement of our fiscal measures, has developed our pecuniary resources, so as to open a way for a definitive plan for the redemption of our pub- lic debt. It is believed that the result is such as to encourage Congress to consummate this work without delay. Nothing can more pro- mote the permanent welfare of the nation, and nothing would be more grateful to our constitu- ents. Indeed whatsoever is unfinished of our system of public credit cannot be benefited by procrastination, and as far as may be practicable, we ought to place that credit on grounds which cannot be disturbed, and to prevent that progres- sive accumulation of debt, which must ultimately endanger all governments.
An estimate of the necessary appropriations including the expenditures into which we have been driven by the insurrection, will be submit- ted to Congress.
Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives,
The Mint of the United States has entered upon the coinage of the precious metals, and considerable sums of defective coins and bullion have been lodged with the director by individu- als. There is a pleasing prospect, that the in- stitution will, at no remote day, realize the ex- pectation which was originally formed of its utility.
In subsequent communications certain circum- stances of our intercourse with foreign nations will be transmitted to Congress ; however, it may not be unseasonable to announce, that my policy, in our foreign transactions, has been, to cultivate peace with all the world—to observe treaties with pure and absolute faith—to check every deviation from the line of impartiality—to explain what may have been misapprehended —and correct what may have been injurious to any nation ; and having thus acquired the right, to lose no time in acquiring the ability, to insist upon justice being done ourselves.
Let us unite, therefore in imploring the Su- preme Ruler of nations, to spread his holy pro- tection over these United States, to turn the machinations of the wicked, to the confirming of our constitution—to enable us at all times to root out internal sedition, and put invasion to flight—to perpetuate to our country that pros- perity which his goodness has already conferred, and to verify the anticipations of this govern- ment being a safeguard to human rights.
