From the True American. Mr. BRADFORD,
I SEND you the following explanatory decree, given by judge Kelsall of New-Providence, in the case of a Schooner belonging to this port; with a request that it may be published for the information of shippers in general, as a thorough knowledge of the principles laid down therein may be highly serviceable to them.
A SHIPPER. "It is a maxim that things which should be judged by the law of nations ought not to be determined by the civil law, or the particular institutions of any country; the state of war and the rights which result from thence are of this description. No individual can of his own mere act exempt himself from the relations this state places him in, both with respect to his own sovereign, and to that with whom he is at war. He is by the act of his sovereign rendered an enemy, nor can his sovereign divest him of his own authority of that character without the consent of the power with whom he wages hostilities; much less, I apprehend, can a neutral state plead that her municipal regulations have changed the political conditions of the subject of a state of war, either to protect them from the punishment which their own sovereign can inflict for a non performance of these duties to him, to whom they owe a prior obligation, or to relieve them from the consequences of those rights which accrue to the enemy, necessary and justly from the commencement of hostilities, among these the right of reprisals, the right to deprive the enemy of his goods and possessions. An individual emigrates in war at his own peril. In a neutral nation his person and his property are secure; but as his character of enemy cannot be changed but by the same powers which rendered him so, so long as war exists, by the law of nations, he cannot come into the realm, nor travel on the high seas, nor send his goods and merchandise from one place to another, without danger of being seized. In my opinion, a man who was a citizen of France at the commencement of the war, or who had not changed his domicile prior to that period, must be considered, with respect to Great Britain, as an enemy, notwithstanding his naturalization in a neutral state. It is on these principles that I acquire the property of —, as being citizens of the U. S. and condemn that of —, they having been, at the commencement of the present hostilities between our sovereign lord the King, and the republic of France, and still being, citizens or subjects of the said republic."
PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 27. It is amusing (so far as any thing of so deep interest can be said to amuse) to see the method and deliberation with which the democrats proceed in their attacks upon the Constitution and Government of America. No taylor proceeds with more regularity in cutting out his coat, than this mischievous tribe, in their practice of shipping and slivering away that instrument. Foiled at open violence, and in assailing the whole at a swoop, they are now aiming at their objects in detail. In Maryland they have proposed to do away all qualification, by property, for office—in New Jersey to effect a reform in the mode of election for President and Vice President. These attempts have failed and lately failed—The evil hour of their success must hasten on, until Friends to government arise from that state of mind, which leads them to consider every display of anxiety for the Constitution as an unnecessary disturbance of their repose; and every expression of apprehension for its fate, as a criminal question of its immortality. G. U. S.
We hear that a Doct. Church, of East Haddam, in Connecticut, has lately discovered at Wyoming, in Pennsylvania, a tree which yields the true Peruvian Bark, which can be collected in large quantities, and at a small expence. We understand it has been examined by some of the most eminent physicians in New York; and on trial possesses every quality with the genuine imported bark. This, if true, is one of the greatest discoveries which has taken place within the present century.

SIXTH Congress of the U. States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, DEC. 3.
THE President of the U. States, agreeable to the notification given on Monday, came down this day, at 12 o'clock, to the Representatives Chamber...
SPEECH.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
IT is with peculiar satisfaction, that I meet the Sixth Congress of the United States of America. Coming from all parts of the Union at this critical and interesting period...
The flattering prospects of abundance from the labours of the people, by land and by sea; the prosperity of our extended commerce, notwithstanding interruptions...
To give due effect to the civil administration of government, and to ensure a just execution of the laws, a revision and amendment of the judiciary system is indispensably necessary.
Persevering in the pacific and humane policy, which has been invariably professed, and sincerely pursued, by the executive authority of the United States...
It appeared probable, from the information I received, that our commercial intercourse with some ports in the island of St. Domingo might safely be renewed.
In examining the claims of British subjects by the commissioners at Philadelphia...
Philadelphia, under the 6th article of the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, with Great Britain, a difference of opinion, on points deemed essential in the interpretation of that article, has arisen...
With such dispositions on both sides, I cannot entertain a doubt that all difficulties will soon be removed, and that the two boards will then proceed and bring the business, committed to them, respectively, to a satisfactory conclusion.
The act of Congress, relative to the seat of the government of the United States, requiring that on the first Monday of December next, it should be transferred from Philadelphia to the district...
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives. I shall direct the estimates of the appropriations, necessary for the service of the ensuing year, together with an account of the revenue and expenditure, to be laid before you.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
At a period, like the present, when momentous changes are occurring, and every hour is preparing new and great events in the political world...
bours will serve to increase and confirm union among our fellow citizens, and an unshaken attachment to our government.
John Adams.
United States, Dec. 3, 1799.
A copy of the Speech being delivered by the President to the Speaker, and read by the Clerk, it was ordered, that it be committed to a committee of the whole House, to-morrow. And then the House adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4.
In Committee of the Whole—Mr. Rutledge in the chair; Resolved, That a respectful Address be presented to the President in answer to his Speech, &c. This was reported to and accepted by the House; and Messrs. Marshall, Nicholas, Sewall, Livingston and Rutledge, appointed the Committee to draft the Answer.
DECEMBER 5.
The usual Standing Committees were appointed.
A message was received from the President, and read, in the words following, to wit:
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, I herewith transmit to Congress, certain documents, which relate to the late insurrection in Pennsylvania—the opening of trade and intercourse with the island of St. Domingo—and the mission to the French Republic: Premised in my address to both Houses of Congress, on Tuesday last.
JOHN ADAMS. United States, Dec. 5, 1799.
Those which relate to the Mission to the French Republic, are
A letter from P. HENRY, Esq. to the Secretary of State, declining the appointment of Envoy, owing to his indisposition, and the distance of the scene at which the negotiations were contemplated to take place.
Copy of a letter from Citizen TALLEYRAND, dated Paris, 11th Fructidor, to Citizen PICNON, Secretary of the French Legation, at the Hague, approving the conduct of that agent, in communicating to Mr. MURRAY the pacific disposition of the French Republic towards the United States. (Already published.)
Another letter from TALLEYRAND to PICNON, dated Paris, 28th Sept. 1798, authorising him to communicate the pacific sentiments contained in the preceding, to Mr. MURRAY; and the sincere disposition of the Directory to accelerate an amicable adjustment of all existing differences; and the respect with which an American Envoy would be received. (Already published.)
A letter from the Secretary of State to Mr. MURRAY, inclosing his appointment as Envoy to the French Republic, in conjunction with Mr. ELSWORTH and P. HENRY, Esq. and the conditions (to be expressed to the Directory) on which the envoys would repair to Paris; or, if more agreeable to the Directory, a Minister from the French Republic, would be received at Philadelphia.
A letter from Mr. MURRAY, to the Secretary of State, accepting the appointment of Envoy to the French Republic. A letter from Mr. MURRAY to the Minister of Foreign Relations, dated at the Hague, acquainting him with the nomination of the Envoys, and the stipulations expressed in the letter from the Secretary of State to Mr. MURRAY.
A letter from the Minister of Foreign Relations, in answer to the above, dated 12th May, 1799, containing assurances that they shall enjoy all the prerogatives attached to the mission, by the laws of nations, and a Minister of equal quality be appointed to treat with them; and that passports would be granted for their safe conveyance to Paris.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 19.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Havana, to the editors of this paper, dated Oct. 29, 1799.
The current of politics has taken a turn with respect to the French: none are permitted to come here, on any pretence; if they do, they are obliged to return in the same vessel, and a war between France and Spain is thought inevitable. This change is in consequence of a vague report, of the Spanish fleet being detained at Brest, which report comes by way of New-York.
PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 3.
THE SPEECH.
Of the President, delivered this day, is marked with characteristic openness, dignity and patriotism. Neither seduced by the arts of one party, nor intimidated by the threats of the other, his course is that of undeviating integrity. His country's "PEACE, with HONOR," being a prime with him, he appears to be ready in that wise and equal path...
by which alone both are to be secured indissolubly. Though conformably to his requisitions, assurances of a pacific disposition have been received from the French Republic—though, even now, the mission of peace may have commenced—yet, knowing the uncertainty of all human purposes, he strongly advises a perseverance in, if not an augmentation of, the national institution of defence; left by receding from the attitude of energy, we might afford to the world, a presumption either of inability or disinclination.
The other topics touched on in this communication, are of the first importance to the country; and the solicitude and sincerity with which they are recommended to legislative consideration, are a flattering proof that we have at our head, a Father watchful of our interest.
THE SPEAKER.
In the choice of a Speaker, which has been made by the House of Representatives we have a strong pledge of the future predominance of wisdom and patriotism in that House. In all points of view, both as it relates to the harmony of the House, and as it augurs the prevalence of federal principles, the event is to be considered extremely fortunate. Mr. Sedgwick, to a superior knowledge of every political interest of his country, adds, a thorough experience of the rules of parliamentary discussion, and an energy of manners peculiarly requisite to a station in which he will have various and contrary dispositions to conciliate. Happily in his private intercourse with the House, he commands the undivided esteem and respect of both parties; and it is hoped, that no ungenerous sentiment of jealousy or rivalry may hereafter weaken his claims to their continuance. From a large proportion, we are assured, he will always receive a candid and liberal support; but alas, there are some, in whose hearts are all "the bitterness of gall," who will doubtless continually assail, either by open violence or insidious machinations! Against these, however, his own manly demeanor, will be the "best defence."
Mrs. Adams's Drawing Room will commence on Friday next, and will continue once a fortnight during the winter.
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated the 25th September, 1799.
"On the 22d ult. arrived the sch. Samuel, of Boston, commanded by Edward Hedge, with 12 men, 2 six-pounders and 6 smaller guns or swivels on carriages. She was coming in at night-fall, and gallantly fought her way in the gut through 5 privateers for an hour, supposed chiefly to be French; but from a 24 pound shot found on board, it was concluded some of the Spanish gun-boats that were out must have also fired upon her. Said that greatly damaged her stern. The English frigate Dorothea and a brig sloop went to her assistance, but were too late, as she soon after anchored safely:—However they sunk a Spanish gun boat. Capt. Hedge's behaviour was greatly applauded, and, I must say, did honor to the flag. No one was hurt on board the Samuel."
The Duke of York had a very narrow escape in the late engagement in Holland—as his Royal Highness was encouraging and leading on his brave troops, a cannon ball passed between him and one of the guards, but missed them both.
A NEW INVENTION.
A discovery has been made which promises to be of great importance to navigators; that is, a machine, or chain pump, which operates by a crank and wheels, so that one man can raise as much water as ten men with a common chain pump. It is very simple in its construction, and such as will evade all the casualties that are likely to occur at sea. The boxes are of a peculiar make of brass, without any leather, or materials subject to decay. The machine will occupy as little room as two common pumps. This contrivance was invented by Mr. John Stickney, of Boston, who has received a patent granted by the United States.
By gentlemen who have lately visited Mount-Vernon, we learn that the illustrious tenant of its quiet vales passes his hours in health and happiness, in agricultural pursuits, discoucing on topics of husbandry, sometimes of philosophy—studiously avoiding politics. He gives himself up, with his accustomed freedom, to social intercourse, and keeps open house for all who "come that way;" taking an excursion now and then to the National City, to review the progress of the buildings and public works there.

BOSTON, Dec. 10.
GEORGIA LANDS.
The following relating to this subject is extracted from the late Speech of the Gov. of Georgia to the Legislature.
"The act to carry into effect the 24th section of the article of the constitution, does not come altogether up to the intentions of the legislature, or provide for all the cases arising under the usurped act of the 7th day of January 1795: it will require revision, and perhaps an extension of equitable principles in the following cases: First, in cases where the person who bona fide deposited the money, as a pretended consideration for the pretended sale, has since deceased, and the claim is made by the executors or administrators who seem by the law, as it now stands, to be barred, not having deposited the money, and not being able to comply in all respects with the oath."
"Second. In cases respecting citizens rights, where they have passed into other hands, than those who deposited the money, and a full consideration has been paid for them—those papers bear the highest authenticity, being the original receipts of the treasurer himself, and therefore, no doubt can be entertained of the amount expressed having been bona fide deposited at the time the receipt was given—most of this kind of Yazoo papers have found their way to other parts of the United States, where numerous families have been ruined by the speculation. The reputation of the state, in the generous conduct of returning the sums deposited, requires her attention to those unfortunate and innocent persons, and her alleviating, as much as can be, their distress."
"And Thirdly. An attention is requisite to another class of citizens, who hold no original receipts, but who possess pretended title deeds, by purchase from the pretended grantees: Equity would certainly decide, that they have just claim on the deposit lodged by those from whom the title was derived, without the necessity of endless law suits, which in many cases would be rendered fruitless, by the insolvency of intermediate holders."
It is reported, by the way of Norfolk, that the Governor of Jamaica has issued a Proclamation, annulling the Treaty lately concluded with Toussaint; and authorising the capture of vessels trading to St. Domingo.
This report it is suggested arose from a local regulation of that Governor, prohibiting English vessels entering the ports of St. Domingo, except they are admitted under English colors.
The Governor of St. Helena, has exhibited towards the Perseverance, of Philadelphia, Capt. Williamson, the most unequivocal justice, and honorable protection.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Nov. 25, sch. Abigail, Perkins, arrived at Casine, from Dominica, 23 days. Nov. 10 was boarded from a French privateer, of 4 guns, and 60 men. The mate was knocked down, and stabbed in several places; and the vessel robbed. The same privateer afterwards in fight, took three American vessels.
DECEMBER 10.
This evening arrived, the U. S. sloop of war Merrimack, Capt. Brown, which is the only one from abroad since our loss. The Merrimack sailed from the Havana 24th ult. in co. with ship Hibernia, of Newbury Port, and sch. Thistle, of Philadelphia, which Capt. Brown left off the Matanzas, under convoy of the U. S. brig Pinkney.—About 100 sail of Americans were at the Havana, and market very dull.—The crew of the Merrimack is in perfect health, and only one man has died by sickness during the whole of her long cruise.

The Duke of York to Mr. Dundas.
Head-quarters, Alkmaar, October 7, 1799. SIR, The enemy, after the action of the second, having taken up the position between Beverwyk and Wyck-op-Zee, I determined to endeavor to force him thence before he had an opportunity of strengthening by works the short and very defensible line which he occupied, and to oblige him still further to retire before he could be joined by the reinforcements, which I had information, were upon their march.
Preparatory, therefore, to a general forward movement, I ordered the advanced posts which the army took up on the 3d inst. in front of this place, of Egmont-op-Hoof and Egmont-op-Zee, to be pushed forward, which operation took place yesterday morning. At first little opposition was shewn, and we succeeded in taking possession of the villages of Schermerhoorn, Archer Sloot, Limmen, Baccum, and of a position on the Sand Hills near Wyck-op-Zee; the column of Russian troops under the command of Maj. Gen. D'Essen, in endeavouring to gain a height in front of their intended advanced post at Baccum (which was material to the security of that point,) was vigorously opposed, and afterwards attacked by a strong body of the enemy, which obliged Gen. Sir R. Abercromby to move up in support with the reserve of his corps.
The enemy on their part advanced their whole force; the action became general along the whole line from Limmen to the sea, and was maintained with great obstinacy on both sides until night, when the enemy retired, leaving us masters of the field of battle. The conflict however has, I am concerned to state, been as severe, and has been attended with as serious a loss (in proportion to the numbers engaged,) as any of those which have been fought by the brave troops composing this army since their arrival in Holland. The gallantry they displayed, and the perseverance with which they supported the fatigues of this day, rival their former exertions.
To Gen. Sir R. Abercromby, and the other General Officers in command of the brigades before mentioned as also to Col. MacDonald, my warmest acknowledgments are due, for their spirited exertions during this affair; nor ought I to omit the praise due to Colonel Clephane, commanding four companies of the 3d, and one of the Coldstream regiments of Guards, who, by a spirited charge, drove two battalions of the enemy from the post of Acher Sloot, making two hundred prisoners. I have sincerely to regret, that in the course of the action Major General Hutchinson received a musket shot wound in the thigh, which, however is not serious.
I have not yet received any reports of the killed and wounded, but I am apprehensive that the number of British is not less than 500, and that the loss of the Russian troops, as far as I can understand, amounts to twelve hundred men. I shall, as early as circumstances possibly admit, transmit particular returns.
The loss of the enemy upon this occasion has been very great; and in addition to their killed and wounded, 500 prisoners fell into our hands. I am, &c. FREDERICK.
Head-quarters, Schagen Brug. October 9, 1799.
SIR, I have already acquainted you with the result of the action of the 6th inst. which terminated successfully to the allied arms, and at the same time pointed out the necessity of the movement which produced this affair.
From the prisoners taken upon the 6th inst. I learnt the certainty of the enemy having been reinforced since the action of the 2d by two demi-brigades amounting to about 6000 Infantry, and their having strengthened the position of Beverwyk, and fortified strongly in the rear of the points which it would be necessary to carry before Haarlem could be attacked.
It ought also to be stated, that the enemy had retired a large force upon Purmerend, in an almost inaccessible
position, covered by an inundated country, and the debouches from which were strongly fortified, and in the hands of the enemy; and further that as our army advanced, this corps was placed in our rear.
But such obstacles would have been overcome, had not the state of the weather, the ruined condition of the roads and total want of the necessary supplies arising from the above causes, presented difficulties which required the most serious consideration.
Having maturely weighed the circumstances in which the army was thus placed, and having felt it my duty on a point of so much importance to consult with Gen. Sir R. Abercromby and the Lt. Gens. of this army, I could not but consider, and their opinion was unanimous on the subject, that it would be for the benefit of the general cause to withdraw the troops from their advanced position, in order to wait His Majesty's further instructions.
I must request you will again represent to his Majesty the distinguished conduct of his army; which whilst acting under the pressure of uncommon difficulties, never for a moment ceased to be actuated by the noblest feelings for the success of the public cause, and the honor of the British arms.
As there are many points resulting from our present situation upon which you may require particular information, and such details as cannot be brought within the compass of a letter, I have thought it necessary to charge my Secretary Col. Browrigg with this dispatch, who will be able to explain fully all matters relating to this Army.
I transmit a return of killed, and wounded, and missing, of His Majesty's and the Russian troops in the action of the 6th inst.; I most heartily lament that it has again been so serious, and that so many brave and valuable men have fallen.—I am yours, &c. FREDERICK.

Relative to the Armies.
LONDON, OCT. 12. Yesterday a French cartel from Gravelines arrived at Dover, by which we have received French Journals one day later in date than those which came to hand yesterday.
Certain intelligence had been received from Basle, that the Austrians had re-passed the Rhine near Constance, and that the French troops had entered that city soon after.—The Russians had already passed the Rhine near Schaffhausen. Thus the Archduke comes too late with his reinforcements, and finds Switzerland entirely evacuated, and wholly in the power of the French.
Suwarrows, with 24,000 Russians, had succeeded in possessing himself of St. Gothard, and had repulsed the Brigade of Gen. Gudin, which guarded that important post, as far as the Lake of Lucerne. But having been apprised that Gen. Lecourbe was marching against him, Suwarrows retired by Hlang and Diffentis, to the Grisons, and the French again possessed themselves of St. Gothard.
Masfena was on his march against Suwarrows, who is without artillery, having been obliged, on account of the badness of the roads, to transport his artillery from Italy to the Tyrol, by which road it was to come into the Grison country.
It was reported that a French column, commanded by General Menard, had taken possession of Schaffhausen.
The following Telegraph Dispatch is given in the Bien Informe of the 8th.
"Telegraph, Communication by the Line of Stratysburgh."
"Oct. 5.—Six in the evening. Suwarrows is entering the canton of Glaris, and attacking Lecourbe.—On my side I am closely surrounding him." "6.—Suwarrows defeated—Ten thousand Russian prisoners—a decisive victory."
Oct. 14. be some doubt has been attempted to be thrown upon the Telegraphic account of Suwarrows's total defeat, because no official communication to the Councils appears in the Paris Papers of the 8th.—The fact is, that it arrived the evening before, when the Councils were not sitting.
Suwarrows hoped to reach Switzerland time enough to make a combined attack with Hotze and Korsakow. He seems to have supposed, that Masfena would remain inactive, and probably he was ignorant that the Archduke had proceeded too far with his force to be able to be of any assistance to the troops in Switzerland. Masfena appears to have seized, with considerable promptitude and skill, the favourable opportunity when the force of the Allies was divided. The heavy rains and consequent bad state of the roads are said to have been one of the reasons why Suwarrows did not reach Switzerland till after Hotze's defeat. He could carry with him no heavy artillery. It is not mentioned in the Telegraphic dispatch where he was defeated, nor whether, nor to what place, he has effected his retreat.—The battle probably was fought a little to the Southward of Altort. Suwarrows may retire into the Grisons behind Coire, or to the frontiers of the Tyrol.
The Archduke Joseph, having under him Gen. Kray, has taken the command of the Austrian Army, to which henceforth is entrusted the defence of Italy re-conquered.—Nothing very important had taken place there at the date of the most recent dispatches, which is the 22d of September. The French had taken possession of Novi, but were repulsed from it with loss: they were treated in the same manner near Suza, whence they have been driven.
The Spanish Minister has completed his degradation and infamy, by causing the French Royalists who had taken refuge in Spain, to be arrested and delivered up to the Republican Councils.
Letters from India of the 17th and 21st of May, express a strong belief that the attack upon Manila would speedily occupy our forces.
The Queen's Bays, the 34th, 46th, and 62d of Foot, are under orders for Holland; they are all to be perfected to their full complement from the Militia Volunteers.
In consequence of positive orders from the Governor of Cadiz, all communication between the shore and our fleet has latterly been cut off. Admiral Mazaredo is said to have a rap on the knuckles for permitting so many civilians to pass between himself and our Admiral.
PARIS, OCT. 8.
Several battalions march along the Rhine towards Nimeguen. They were detached from the banks of that river. When all these troops shall have arrived at their destination, the combined French and Batavian army commanded by General Brune, will amount to about 50,000 men, and may then assume the offensive, though that of the enemy be equally numerous, and still expects large reinforcements.
It is more than probable that Sir Sydney Smith was shut up in Aboukir, and that he is now a prisoner with Buonaparte.
The most gratifying reports are circulated respecting the state of our affairs in Helvetia. It is even said that Suwarrows is entirely surrounded, with sixteen thousand men, in the defiles of the Grisons, and that he will be obliged to surrender.
We are assured, that the French shot on the field of battle all the Swiss Emigrants taken with arms in their hands.
Madame Wickham is among the prisoners taken at Zurich.
Six thousand regular troops, will in a few days, arrive in La Vendee, to extinguish the beginning flames of revolt.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.
Captain Smith arrived at Norfolk from Jamaica, reports, that 11 sail of American vessels bound to St. Domingo have been carried into Kingston by the British cruizers, and it was reported, and generally credited, that orders are issued to capture all vessels bound to or from St. Domingo.
[This article, which is copied from the Norfolk Herald , probably gave origin to another report that Balcarres has annulled the treaty with Toussaint, and ordered the indiscriminate capture of vessels bound to St. Domingo. One would suppose that Captain Smith, who it appears is direct from Jamaica, would have given something more than a report of this business.]
It is a fact, the evidences of which will one day appear, that the French Directory, little more than a year since offered to the British Government, to conclude a peace, on condition of their receiving £1,000,000 sterling, for their private purses—England to retain all her conquests, and the island of St. Domingo to be ceded to her.
BOSTON, Dec. 16. The Swiss women, in a late action, took the side of the imperialists against the French. They fought with arms in some measure suitable to their sex. The French attacked a small village, where the women threw boiling water upon them, and before the place was taken the troops found it the hottest action in which they had been engaged the whole war.—The number of these hot water warriors taken amounted to seven hundred and fifty.
Col. Benjamin Williams, is elected Governor of the State of North Carolina.
PORTSMOUTH, DECEMBER 18.
Amongst the extraordinary political phenomena which our country affords, is this—that while we are in an actual state of war with the French, and every mail brings intelligence of the slaughter of our brave seamen by their hands, we hear and read public expressions of joy at the successes of the very foe with whom we are contending.—Love of country was once a virtue.
Since the receipt of the Foreign intelligence, contained in this day's Gazette, the Sally, Capt. Patterson, has arrived at Beverly from Bremen, which she left the 19th of Oct. The papers on board her we understand are only to Oct. 12, and contain no information, not in possession of the American public; a gentleman who came passenger in her, informs, that reports were in circulation, previous to his departure from Bremen, that the Duke of York was engaged on the 9th or 10th Oct. and again defeated with considerable loss.
Extract of a letter from a Member of the Senate, dated December 4, '99.
"The President's Speech is universally satisfactory to all parties. It breathes the pacific disposition of our country, at the same time that it supports the national dignity, and indicates that spirit of resistance to aggression from abroad, which has always distinguished the course of the high and independent councils of our excellent President, whose only political object undoubtedly has been, and I trust always will be, "to execute the trust reposed in him, to render the people of the United States prosperous and happy."

Legislature of New-Hampshire.
House of Representatives, TUESDAY, DEC. 10.
The committee to draft an Answer to His Excellency's Address, reported the following, which was received and accepted:
"May it please your Excellency," As the Representatives of a free and Independent people, selected from all parts of the State, we are again assembled for the purposes pointed out in our Constitution of Government; and with great pleasure we shall attend to the remedying of existing grievances, if any, and to the enacting such laws, as shall be considered necessary for promoting the common good and happiness of our fellow citizens. And we sincerely reciprocate with you the high satisfaction we enjoy, in contemplating the prosperity, tranquility and love of order so fully manifested by them.
The subjects recommended by your Excellency to the consideration of the Legislature, particularly those relative to the tenure of certain officers, and the statute of Limitations, will meet our early and candid attention.
To have escaped all the evils which arise from a state of war, while so many powerful nations are involved in all its horrors, was an event scarcely to have been expected; and though various means have been used to involve our country in European contests, we have great reason to rejoice, that through the wisdom, vigilance and firmness of our national administration, this has hitherto been prevented.
While with open arms we have offered our country as an asylum to foreigners, we doubt not but that we have received into our embraces, many who were enemies to our peace; and the facility by which they have acquired the rights of citizens, may have induced some to believe that our country might be injured with impunity; but notwithstanding this evil, which originated from the purest motives of philanthropy and benevolence, we trust that our warmest affections will not be withdrawn from the support of a government, which has so highly exalted our country in name, wealth, and reputation.
While the sentiments of the people of this State, so often expressed by their Representatives relative to the conduct of the rulers of the French nation continue the same, we notwithstanding note with satisfaction, that the President of the United States has made a further attempt to the adjustment of existing difficulties with them.—Peace consistent with honor, is so invaluable a blessing, as to be ardently desired by every good citizen; and we do not hesitate to say, that our national honor is placed, where it will not be sullied, and that the purest motives in the President of the United States have directed this measure, and that our confidence in him is not in the least degree diminished. While we enjoy the privilege of examining the conduct of our rulers, we shall consider it an incumbent duty so to do, but to harbour ill founded suspicions and jealousies, is unworthy the character of freemen.
The satisfaction expressed by your Excellency in contemplating the strong attachment of your fellow citizens to the national government, is a sentiment in which we heartily participate: and we flatter ourselves that our affection thereto, will be constantly increasing, and that every injurious attempt to lessen it, will be repelled with indignity.
To discharge with faithfulness the many duties of Legislators and Magistrates, is a task truly arduous; but to give dignity and lustre to their characters, the powerful influence of example should never be wanting. We anticipate with pleasure your Excellency's hearty co-operation with us, in adopting such measures as shall tend to promote the prosperity, and advance the happiness of our common country.
