Federal Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
MONDAY, Feb. 2. MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT.
THE house on motion of Mr. Dayton, resolved itself into a committee of the whole, to take into consideration the report of the select committee, relating to the military establishment. The chairman having read the resolution recommended by the committee in the following words, viz.
"Resolved, That two regiments, consisting of nine hundred and sixty men each, be formed out of the regiments now in service of the United States, to compose with the corps of the artillery, the military establishment of the United States, and to continue in service until the first day of July, 1798, unless sooner discharged."
Mr. Dayton said, that he disliked the report in general, and was more immediately opposed to the proposition on the table which he should not agree to, under any modification of which it was capable. It was his wish to have taken the sense of the committee of the whole upon his plan, by proposing to amend the one before them, but he found it could not be done consistently with the rules of the house, as it might with propriety be considered rather as a substitute, than an amendment. If the one under consideration should be negatived, and that such ought to be its fate, Mr. Dayton inferred, not merely from the insufficiency of the numbers proposed therein for the military establishment, but from the wording of it, which contemplated regiments, a term not at all applicable to the present system of organization, which was a legionary one, then the way would be opened for him to offer to the House a proposition which he held in his hand, for their information. Mr. Dayton then read it as follows, viz.
Resolved,—That the present military establishment of the United States be continued, and the corps composing the same completed by enlistment for a term not exceeding three years, with authority to the President to forbear to raise, or to discharge after they shall be raised, such part thereof as future events shall in his judgment render consistent with the public safety, convenience and economy.
This produced a discussion, in which Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Dayton, Mr. Ames, and Mr. Madison spoke. The latter gentleman seemed rather favorable to the reducing than augmenting the number of troops in the service of the United States. He alluded to the report of the treaty said to be entered into, between this country and Britain, from which it might be inferred, that the Indian hostilities north west of the Ohio should slacken.
The committee rose after disagreeing to the report. The chairman reported progress, and the question being put, the house also disagreed to the report of the Committee.
INTEREST ON THE NATIONAL DEBT. Mr. Fitzsimons gave in a set of resolutions respecting the payment of the interest of the national debt. They were read and referred to the same committee who have before them the subject of reducing the debt.
TUESDAY, Feb. 3. MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the military establishment of the United States, Mr. Cobb in the Chair.
The resolution proposed by Mr. Dayton was taken up, and Mr. Giles proposed, as an amendment, to strike out the word three from the resolution, which would then read "years." Mr. Giles introduced his amendment with some remarks delivered in rather a low tone of voice.
The amendment was negatived by the committee.
The question on the resolution itself was not called for, till after much debate.
When the question was called for, there were Ayes 70.
The committee rose; and the house agreed to the report of the chairman, and a committee are appointed to bring in a bill.
FORTIFICATION.
The report of the committee on fortifications was read, and ordered to be printed.
DUTIES ON SNUFF.
Mr. W. Smith moved, to go into a committee on the report of the select committee, on the alteration requisite to be made in the duties on snuff.
The House accordingly went into a committee. They agreed to the report. The chairman reported to the house, and a committee were appointed to bring in a bill.
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 4. SHIP ENTERPRISE.
The bill authorizing an allowance of drawback on part of the cargo of the ship Enterprise, was read a third time and passed.
POST OFFICE.
Mr. Sherburne from the committee to whom was referred a bill from the Senate to amend the Post-Office law, made a report, which was read a first and second time, and referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
MANUFACTURES.
It was moved that two members should be added to the select committee to whom were referred the memorials of the manufacturers of cordage, of chocolate and of paper. This was agreed to.
DEBTS due the old GOVERNMENT.
The house on the motion of Mr. Heath, went into a committee of the whole on the report of the select committee as to the progress made in settling the accounts of balances due to the old government. This was accordingly done, Mr. Cobb in the chair. The report was read.
A MESSAGE,
From the President with a letter from the Secretary of State.
The resolutions were agreed to with amendments, and reported to the house. The galleries were then, at half past one o'clock ordered to be cleared for reading of the communications from the President.
THURSDAY, Feb. 5. NATIONAL DEBT.
It was moved and seconded, that the house should resolve itself into a committee of the whole, on the report of the committee on reducing the national debt, which was done accordingly, Mr. Cobb in the chair. The resolution was then read.
SUGAR REFINERS.
Mr. S. Smith said that he had not recollected before the house resolved itself, that he had in his pocket an address and remonstrance from the sugar refiners of Baltimore to submit to them. The committee, on this account, rose. The address was then presented, and read by the clerk. It stated, in pointed terms, the oppressive effects attending the excise on refined sugar. When the address had been read, the committee was resumed, Mr. Cobb in the chair.
Mr. Heister said, that in Pennsylvania, the tax on Auctioneers had never, as he understood, been carried into execution. He was for dividing immediately on the motion as it stood.
Mr. Gilbert said, that he did not wish to tire the Committee. They rose and the House immediately adjourned.
NATURALIZATION LAW, Of the UNITED STATES.
An act to establish an uniform rule of naturalization: and to repeal the act heretofore passed on that subject.
FOR carrying into complete effect, the power given by the constitution, to establish an uniform rule of naturalization throughout the United States:
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That any alien, being a free white person, may be admitted to become a citizen of the United States, or any of them, on the following conditions, and not otherwise:
First. He shall have declared on oath or affirmation, before the supreme, superior, district or circuit court of some one of the States, or of the territories north west or south of the river Ohio, or a circuit or district court of the United States, three years, at least, before his admission, that it was bona fide, his intention to become a citizen of the United States, and to renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, by name, the prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, whereof such alien may, at the time, be a citizen or subject.
Secondly. He shall, at the time of his application to be admitted, declare on oath or affirmation, before some one of the courts aforesaid, that he has resided within the United States, five years at least, and within the state or territory, where such court is at the time held, one year at least; that he will support the constitution of the United States; and that he doth absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whatever, and particularly by name, the prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whereof he was before a citizen or subject; which proceedings shall be recorded by the clerk of the court.
Thirdly. The court admitting such alien, shall be satisfied that he has resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States, five years; and it shall further appear to their satisfaction, that during that time, he has behaved as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of the constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same.
Fourthly. In case the alien applying to be admitted to citizenship shall have born any hereditary title, or been of any of the orders of nobility, in the kingdom or state from whence he came, he shall, in addition to the above requisites, make an express renunciation of his title or order of nobility, in the court to which his application shall be made; which renunciation shall be recorded in the said court.
Sec. 2. Provided always, and be it further enacted, That any alien now residing within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States, may be admitted to become a citizen, on his declaring on oath or affirmation in some one of the courts aforesaid, that he has resided two years, at least, within and under the jurisdiction of the same, and one year, at least, within the state or territory where such court is at the time held; that he will support the constitution of the United States; and that he doth absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whatever, and particularly by name, the prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, whereof he was before a citizen or subject; and moreover on its appearing to the satisfaction of the court, that during the said term of two years, he has behaved as a man of good moral character, attached to the constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same; and, where the alien applying for admission to citizenship shall have born any hereditary title, or been of any of the orders of nobility in the kingdom or state from whence he came, on his moreover making in the court an express renunciation of his title or order of nobility, before he shall be entitled to such admission; all of which proceedings, required in this proviso to be performed in the court shall be recorded by the clerk thereof.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the children of persons duly naturalized, dwelling within the United States, and being under the age of twenty one years, at the time of such naturalization; and the children of citizens of the United States born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, shall be considered as citizens of the United States; Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons, whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, That no person heretofore proscribed by any state, or who has been legally convicted of having joined the army of Great Britain, during the late war, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, without the consent of the legislature of the state, in which such person was proscribed.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the act, intitled "An act to establish an uniform rule of naturalization," passed the twenty sixth day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety, be, and the same is hereby repealed.

From the CHRONICLE.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURALIZATION BILL.
Messrs. ADAMS & LARKIN, PERMIT me to congratulate the Democratic Republicans, thro' the medium of your paper, on the national law of Naturalization, as an acquisition to the cause of Liberty in general. It was highly requisite that the probationary period should be extended, and an uniform standard erected to guard against those pernicious indulgences in favor of particular individuals, which had disgraced our local policy, and given all the advantages of American citizens, to British factors and agents, not only to the dishonour of the country, but to its essential injury.
Individuals of this class had assumed the garb of citizens to secure the correspondent advantages annexed to the character, and then threw it aside, either with indifference or contempt, the moment their purpose had been effected.
Such abuses will now be prevented. No man of infamous character, or even suspected, will now be admitted as a citizen. No stranger, of whatever colour, can be permitted to interfere or vote at our elections, unless he has a regular certificate of his pretensions. We shall never again have this town dishonoured by an impudent, profligate alien, of false complexion, and the "first Merchant" of Boston, at the same door, face to face, distributing votes to their friends and connections, in favor of their favorite candidate. Every person in future must not only adjure the authority of the government, of which he had been formerly the subject, but must swear to support the laws and Constitution of our own; and to this last condition the most prejudiced, rigid determined republican, would not refuse his approbation.
It is true a Federal Government is as obnoxious in France, as a consolidated Government is odious and detestable in America. The territory of that Republic is almost in a circular form; it is compact and limited. In this country, ours is extended beyond all example. On these occasions physical circumstances determine the nature of our respective political institutions. Whether too much or too little power has been given to the Federal administration, time will determine.
The instance of a State's being subject to Federal jurisdiction has been resolved by the people in favor of the local governments. This demonstrates two things: First, that the Federal Constitution was ambiguous, or defective in its original form. Second, that it may easily be improved.
But the circumstance, Messrs. Printers, which has given me the greatest pleasure, in the law for Naturalization, is the clause excluding foreign noblemen from the benefits of citizenship, in this country, without a formal renunciation of all their titles and prerogatives in the very office in which their ticket of citizenship is registered. Messrs. GILES and MADISON are richly entitled to the thanks of every good citizen, for their exertions on this decisive occasion. In charity I am willing to suppose that Messrs. SEDGWICK, AMES, and DEXTER, from this State, had no sinister views in their rash and impolitic opposition to this seasonable and important amendment to the original report of the Committee. Perhaps they did not see the advantage which must inevitably arise to the cause of equal Liberty by this fortunate circumstance. It will necessarily postpone all hope of titular distinctions in the United States, at least for a century.
Every body who has paid any attention to the course of our political controversies, since the establishment of the Federal Constitution, need not be informed, that a certain party in the Federal Senate proposed the title of a King for the President, in the first session of the National Legislature. These violent partisans began to indulge the ridiculous hope that the people were prepared for these pitiful innovations. They knew if one circumstance of Royalty was obtained, it would probably operate as an argument in favor of another. If the President could be called GEORGE by the Grace of GOD, President of the United States, and Pro-
sector and Defender of the Constitution, to day, to morrow an addition of power or salary would naturally follow as an indispensable attribute. But the law in question must prostrate their warmest hopes and confound their overweening pride.
Is there a member of Congress after this, who will have the presumption to propose any title whatever, more than is necessary to designate the office, for any Federal officer, however elevated?
The law further proves, that the objection to these idle distinctions is gaining strength in the community at large. Four years ago it would not have passed the Senate; now it has passed without any opposition.
It has been laid that the Constitution prohibits all titles of nobility. Why then has a title been proposed, adopted and insisted upon, in the Senate; Why does this title still remain on their journals?
But the present law has thrown the few aspiring advocates of such distinctions, so far in the rear, that it will be impossible they can now resume their projects with any hope of succeeding. On the whole, I consider the law for an uniform Naturalization of foreigners, as an epoch in the annals of Democratic Republicanism. A DEMOCRAT.

REVOLUTIONARY TRIBUNAL, Dec. 6.
Extract from the Trial of CARRIER. ONE of the Revolutionary Committee of Nantz, who were the chief agents of CARRIER's crimes, owned that every thing had been burnt and destroyed in La Vendee, and that the poor peasants trembling for their lives, often put fire to their own houses on the approach of the Commissioners' army, to appear patriots.
PETIT, substitute of the public accuser, read a list of forty two persons drowned in the bay of Bourg Neuf, of whom one was an old man of 79 years, twelve women, twelve girls, and fifteen children, five of whom were at the breast, and others from five to six years old—by CARRIER's orders.
MERGALT, declared that two volunteers who lodged at his house at Nantz, used to go out with their arms, and every day shoot a hundred of the insurgent prisoners, who were confined in a large enclosure. The volunteers told him that it was by CARRIER's orders.
The chief Judge asked CARRIER, if he recollected the child of 13 years old, whom he condemned, and who said to the Executioner, "you will hurt me very much."—The guillotine cut his head in the middle:—Or if he recollected the death of the public Executioner at Nantz, who died with horror, after having executed (without trial) the five sisters by the name of METAIRIE, the eldest 28, and the youngest 17 years old, together with their maid servant of 22.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 21.
In the House of Representatives of Congress a message was last Tuesday received from the President of the United States, relative to the sales of the lands in the Indian country by the Legislature of Georgia; this message represented the subject to be one of great importance involving the Peace and welfare of the United States.—The message, with Acts of Georgia, relative to the sales, was on motion of Mr. SMITH (S. C.) referred to a committee of seven members.
MIDDLETOWN, Feb. 28.
The supposed aggregate population on the face of the known habitable globe, (says a London paper) is estimated at 895,300,000 souls. If we reckon with the ancients, that a generation lasts 30 years—in that space of time, 895,000,000 human beings be born and die; consequently 81,750 must be dropping into eternity every day—3,407 every hour—or about 56 every minute.
An account in a London paper states that some division had arisen among the disciples of Mr. Wesley, in some part of England, which threatened to give rise to two distinct sects among the Methodists.
DIED At Middlebury, Vermont, on the 5th ult. two twins, and daughters of Mr. Elihu Sheldon. There was something singular in these babes; there was not more than five minutes difference in their birth—their actions were so much alike, that their neighbors with difficulty, were able to make a distinction. If one was sick the other would be with the same disorder; they were taken with the Canker-Rash the 13th Dec. the youngest was taken a few minutes first, the eldest died a few minutes after—They died on their birth day, and about the hour they were born being three years of age.
NEW MILFORD, Dec. 30.
On the 14th inst. Capt. Joseph Squire of this town, was tending a cole-pit, two of his boys being with him, the Captain having lain down in his cabin to take some rest—the boys feeling in a playful mood, one of them about six years old endeavouring to keep out of the way of his brother, run up the pit nearly to the top, when it gave way and he fell in, but by his own exertions he immediately cleared himself from the pit and run to his father—his clothes did not appear to be burnt in the least, but the steam of the pit was so powerful as to affect his vitals and other parts of his body, in such a manner, that he died in eight hours after without complaining of the least pain, only that he was very cold.
It is wish'd that this might be a warning to those who tend cole-pits not to admit children to play near them.

SAVANNAH, Jan. 15. Saturday last the British brig Somerset, captured by l'Ami de la Point-Petre privateer on the 30th September last, and the Schooner Harcum, captured by the privateer Port-au-Paix on the 13th ult. were, with their cargoes, in the Federal Court for this district, adjudged to the former owners.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24. Sunday last was the Birth Day of the President of the United States, when he entered into the LXIVth year of his age. The auspicious Anniversary was yesterday celebrated with every expression of respect becoming the members of a Free Republic towards the Father of his country. The Members of both Houses of Congress—Foreign Ministers—the Reverend Clergy, and other Citizens, and respectable Foreigners, assembled at the House of the President, to offer their congratulations.
At noon a Federal Salute was fired by a detachment of the Artillery—immediately after both branches of the Legislature of this Commonwealth, preceded by the Governor, the President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Officers of the Militia, and the members of the Cincinnati, went in procession from the State-House, escorted by a Military Corps, to the House of the President of the United States—to present their felicitations on the occasion.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 26. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Martinique, to Mr. John C. Shaw, of this city, received by the Sloop Maria, Capt. Tomlinson, in 40 days from Martinique.
"A fleet of 12 sail arrived off Guadalupe the 3d Jan. with 5000 troops on board. Ten of them got into Basletere; one, having on board 30,000 stand of arms, 400 engineers, and all the artillery, was taken by the Bellona frigate, and carried into Martinique. The above 12 sail consists of 6 frigates and 6 armed ships. Capt. Foulkner, of the Bellona, was killed."
On Wednesday evening the 11th inst. about 8 o'clock, a smart shock of an Earthquake was felt in Richmond, Virginia.
BOSTON, March 4.
OF FRENCH AFFAIRS.
The public accuser of the revolutionary tribunal has signified to his fellow-citizens, his intention of printing his excellent address to the Jury, and applying the profits arising from the sale, to alleviate the distress of the numerous orphans at Nantz, whose parents have been so cruelly put to death by the arbitrary orders of the monster Carrier. This is the reason that only a few extracts from the address, have as yet appeared in the French papers. We remark the following beautiful passage, in his discourse:
"TRUTH! thou daughter of the skies! descend into this sanctuary! serve with me the cause of Liberty, thy companion: too long has imposture spoken in thy name. Lend me that tongue of fire, which is thy emblem, and make my words as pure, as holy as thyself."
From various articles in the Paris papers, and the debates in the Convention, it seems to be acknowledged in France, that Danton, Lacroix, and the other deputies executed with them, were unjustly put to death, and fell like thousands of others, the innocent victims of Robespierre's cruelty and jealousy. The expulsion of the Bristol party, from the Convention, is also spoken of as one of the unlawful wicked measures of the now detested Jacobin faction. What will certain men amongst us, say now; men who forgetting every principle of reason, justice, humanity, and true republicanism, have for two years past, so piously resigned themselves to every thing done in France, and so heartily cursed their fellow-citizens, who dared to think for themselves, and doubt the propriety of many scenes that have taken place in that country.
It is asserted in the Paris papers that there is scarcely a single family in France, which has not lost one or more of its members, by the shocking barbarities that have been exercised during the reign of the last Jacobin tyrants.
"A Sleigh (says the Lansingburgh Recorder, of Feb. 17) owned by a gentleman, on his journey to Canada, in which were 10,000 dollars in specie, on Sunday last fell through the ice on the North River, between Stillwater and Saratoga, and were lost, in about 20 feet water."
THE THIRD CONGRESS, agreeably to the constitution of the United States, expired on Tuesday last. The important debates, which have been agitated during its various sessions, have arrested the attention not only of an anxious continent, but of interested Europe; and reflect no less honor on the forensic eloquence of our orators, than on the political wisdom of our statesmen.
THE AMIABLE DAUGHTERS of the unfortunate count de Grasse, who
are now resident in Salem, have at length, found that generous asylum in America, to which their expatriated situation, and the eminent and unrewarded services of their father, entitled them. The Congress of the United States has allowed to each of them one thousand dollars; a brave nation is always humane.
FISCAL.
By the papers, annexed to the report of the late Secretary of the treasury, it appears that the balance due from the United States to the French government on the first of January last was, exclusive of interest on loans, 12 millions 188 thousand livres: about 2 millions 377 thousand and 600 dollars. The anticipated payments, or sums paid to the French before they fall due, amount to 1,811,959 livres: about 362,392 dollars.
THE UNITED STATES
have lately concluded a treaty with the Oneida, Tuscarora and Stockbridge Indians, residing in the Oneida country—The United States engage to pay the said Indians 5000 dollars for their losses in the late war—to build them a complete grist and saw mill, and hire faithful men to attend said mills for three years, and instruct some of their young men in the arts of miller and sawyer—to provide teams for carrying on the works of said mills—and to pay 200 dollars to be applied to rebuild the church burnt in the late war. The Indians on their part relinquish all claims for losses and services in the late war, except on the unsatisfied claims of those who bore commissions in the said war.
THE BREST FLEET.
[Taken from the minutes of the convention.] Richard, from the committee of public safety.—"From Brest we have received information, that the Grand Fleet, composed of 35 sail of the line, is to put to sea the 24th of Frimair; (Dec. 14.) and is to be joined by a division of 10 sail of the line, which is now at sea. This fleet has a month's provisions on board, and a large body of troops."
THE REPORT FROM LISBON
respecting the capture of Barcelona may be true, though it is probably premature. Figuera was taken about November 20. Roles, a fortified town, 16 miles from Figuera, was next to be attacked. The French army had then to march 64 miles to Barcelona, which must require some time to be reduced. It is possible however that the loss of the Spaniards at Figuera might have occasioned a precipitate retreat and evacuation of the fortified places.
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, one of the finest provinces of Spain. The city contains about 90,000 inhabitants, and for its manufactures and commerce, is one of the principal of Spain.
OF POLAND.
This unhappy Republic is now wholly subject to the Empress of Russia, and the King of Prussia. After the surrender of Warsaw, Gen. Woeorczewski attempted to make a stand in the Palatinate of Lendomir, with about 3000 men, the remnants of mighty battles fought in vain, but being destitute of provisions, they dispersed on the approach of two armies of Russians and Prussians, under Gen. Forsten and Kleist. About 6000 Polish cavalry are in Galicia.
A late Paris paper mentions, that the celebrated Condorcet is dead.
THE TREATY,
between the United States and Great-Britain, has not yet, to our knowledge, arrived at Philadelphia; and it is feared was not laid before the Senate, for their approbation, before the rising of Congress.
We are told, that the dispatches were sent by a special messenger, in the December packet, the arrival of which we have not heard of.
The Treaty is mentioned in the Paris papers, without a disapprobating sentence. The present constituted authorities of France, do not disgrace themselves, like some other constituted authorities, with intermeddling with the affairs of other Nations. They speak of the United States, as a Republic, nearly allied to them; but they do not lug our concerns head and shoulders into theirs. They appear to be Frenchmen and Patriots.
The account of the success of General Wayne, over the Indians, is faithfully detailed in the Paris papers; but without any attendant remarks.
AMERICA A THIRD TIME SAVED BY THE FRENCH!!!
The citizens of United America, ought
to make the warmest returns of gratitude to the French nation, for the renewed demonstration of their regard to the United States, in the abolition of the Jacobin clubs—an evil, more portentous of destruction, than even war and its concomitants.
JACOBINS.
The French people, in their publications and sentiments, use but one expression respecting the Jacobins, and that is, "Down with those men of blood, those Jacobins, who are eternally in the opposition to the National Convention."—And the cry in America would soon of necessity have been, had not our intrepid rulers founded the tocsin in season, and rallied the people round the Altar of government and laws, "Down with the Jacobins—those would be men of blood, who are eternally in opposition to every measure of the President and Congress of the United States."
APPOINTMENTS—By Authority.
JOSEPH HABERSHAM, Esq. of the State of Georgia, is appointed Post-Master General of the United States.
JONATHAN JACKSON, Esq. of Massachusetts, is appointed Comptroller of the Treasury, of the United States; and TENCH FRANCIS, Esq. of Pennsylvania, is appointed Purveyor of Public Supplies.
INDIAN NEWS.
From PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26. Extract of a letter from German Creek, (G.) dated Jan. 29, 1795.
"We had a treaty with the Cherokees the 18th of December, and the 8th inst. they fell upon a party of men from our settlement, and killed one and wounded two without any loss on their side; this is the way that faithless and bloody tribe keep their treaties with us; we have some expectation that the Choctaws, Chickasaws and Upper Cherokees, will go to war against the Creeks, as a party of the Chickasaws has already been out to war against them and has brought in five Creek scalps which I am in hopes will be some ease to our frontiers. If Congress will only give us the liberty of raising one hundred men for six months, to join the tribes that intend going to war against the Creeks, I make not the least doubt, but we can oblige them to make a permanent treaty with the United States, for one half the expence that the treaty of New-York cost. If Congress should not think it worth while to fall upon some other method for the protection of our frontiers than has been heretofore, I think that the inhabitants of this country will fall upon some plan for their own safety."
The party of men above mentioned that the savages fell upon, were out a hunting meat for the support of their families.
From NEW-YORK—Feb. 28.
THE Sloop Marie, Capt. Tomlinson, arrived here on Thursday, from Martinique, and says—That a few days previous to his departure from that island, the first Lt. of the British frigate Blanch, Capt. Faulkner, arrived there in a small vessel from Antigua, (where his ship then lay) with dispatches for admiral Caldwell, giving an account of an action that had taken place a few days before, between the said frigate, and a French ship of 28 guns, belonging to and cruizing off Point Petre.
Capt. T. was present at the recital, wherein the British officer declared, that both ships were left without a standing mast—having upwards of 150 men killed and wounded on each side—Capt. Faulkner was killed the first broadside, and when the French were about to board the Blanch, the Bellona of 74 guns hove in sight, and took them both into Antigua. The action commenced at 8 o'clock in the evening, and continued till four next morning. Capt. T. confirms the report prevalent here of the arrival of the French fleet at Guadalupe. The Blanch mounts 32 guns.
The State Legislature of Pennsylvania, on the 26th ult. proceeded, by joint ballot, to the election of a Federal Senator to fill the place of ROBERT MORRIS, whose time expired on the 4th instant, when, on counting the ballots, it appeared, that WILLIAM BINGHAM was elected by a majority of 23 votes,—having 58 votes in his favor, and the unsuccessful candidate, PETER MUHLENBERG, 35.
From a late London Paper.
A foreign paper, published at Wesel, was sent us lately. Instead of a sheet, of which it usually consisted, it was only printed upon half a sheet. The Editor excuses himself by stating, that in the
moment of its going to the Press, a shell from a French Howitzer passed through the Press-room and destroyed half of the types which had been set up.
PORTLAND, March 9.
ALGERINE CAPTIVES.
Extract of a letter from a benevolent correspondent at Warren, to the Editor.
"Some late pieces in your paper, in which the idea of raising monies by voluntary donation for the redemption of the American prisoners in Algiers was suggested, have operated so strongly upon the feelings of the good people in this vicinity, that they are making (their circumstances considered) very generous exertions to carry it into effect."
"On the late Thanksgiving day in Thomastown, 106 dollars were collected. In Cushing on that day and since, they have collected about 60 dollars, and at our town meeting yesterday, we collected 100 dollars. We had not a rich man in the town, and yet 10 dollars came from one hand. The collections in neither of these towns are yet completed. Very considerable additions will be made to them."
"The little plantation of Maduncork has also raised a handsome sum. From Bristol I hear they have collected between 2 and 300 dollars. In Waldoborough, Union, and some other places they have postponed their contributions until the April meeting."
"If the same laudable spirit pervades the mass of the people throughout the United States, there can be nothing wanting to carry the benevolent plan into complete and speedy execution, but some general arrangement for conducting the business.—To whom are we to send our monies? Who is to be the minister of our charity and negotiate the ransom of our captive brethren? At present we act in the dark—but are in weekly expectation of some communications from your press upon the subject."

Let me ask the Freemen, of said District, if, on every principle General MICHAEL M'CLARY, does not justly merit, our united suffrages for SENATOR, at the ensuing Election: His valour and patriotism, during our struggles for independence, his candor and good judgment, render him worthy of our most sanguine confidence.

ANECDOTE.
A Certain person in Scotland, not long since, who followed the business of pilfering from his neighbours, made it a constant rule after stealing, to pray for forgiveness, a gentleman passing by one day, seeing him come out of a house, judged he had been stealing, and was determined to follow him, he went some distance, and made a stop at the side of a stone wall, kneeled down and said, "O Lord, I pray if I have done any thing amiss in stealing those goods, that thou would command this wall to fall down and crush me to death." A person being at the same time, behind the wall, and hearing the fellow's prayer, threw the wall over, and broke one of his arms, the poor fellow lifted up his eyes, and said, "Dear Lord, I cannot speak a word in jest, but what thou takest it in earnest."
