TUESDAY, JUNE 8.

The bill for extending the law of the United States, providing for the enumeration of the inhabitants, to the State of Rhode-Island, was read the second time, and recommitted.
On Motion of Mr. BOUDINOT, a committee was appointed to inquire, and report to the House, the business necessary to be transacted previous to an adjournment.

Several amendments were proposed and debated. Some were agreed to, and others rejected.

In SENATE, TUESDAY, JUNE 8.
On motion, the Senate agreed to postpone the bill for establishing the seat of government of the United States, and the report of Committee thereon—and to take up the Resolution of the House passed the 31st of May.
This Resolution was nonconcurred—13 to 11.
The opinion of the Senate was taken "Whether it is expedient at this time to determine the permanent seat of government of the United States," and the question determined in the negative.
On Motion to fill up the blank in the bill for fixing the permanent residence with the words—"The easterly banks of the Potowmack," it passed in the negative.
Baltimore and Wilmington were then proposed and were also negatived.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9.
REVENUE LAW.
The bill for repealing, after the last day of next, the duties heretofore laid on distilled spirits, &c. was taken up IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
Mr. GOODHUE moved to strike out the 12th section which provides for an excise on spirits distilled in the United States. This motion occasioned considerable debate—The excise was opposed, as interfering with those funds of the particular States on which they depend for paying the interest of their State debt, which would be a most glaring act of injustice, unless those debts are assumed by the United States; others objected to the principle of excises altogether; the motion was however negatived by a majority of 3—25 rising in the affirmative, and 28 in the negative; the committee proceeded to the 26th section of this bill before they rose.
THURSDAY, JUNE 10.
Mr. PARKER and Mr. VINING moved to take up the resolution which had been offered yesterday, respecting the temporary seat of government, or adjournment to Philadelphia.
Mr. SEDGWICK observed, that the people of America were disgusted with this subject, which seemed of no consequence when compared with other momentous business before the house; it was in fact acting like children, for the Representatives of America to suffer themselves to be insisted, in a manner, under the banners of two rival cities.
Mr. PARKER said there would be petitions sent from the southern States in favor of a removal of Congress to some more central station.
Mr. GERRY thought it would be time enough to determine on a temporary residence, after a permanent one should be fixed upon. He further observed, that the conduct of the House, in the present instance, was insulting to the Senate; for they had already rejected the measure, and should they be in a manner forced to recede, it must have an effect to render them contemptible to the world. He had, however, the highest regard for their wisdom and propriety of conduct. In answer to some reflections, which he said appeared to have been cast upon one of the Senators who was carried to the Senate chamber from a sick bed, instead of being harshly spoken of, he ought to be regarded as the best of patriots, whose conduct resembled that of the virtuous Romans, and was the proper conduct which should be adopted by an American patriot. Mr. Gerry then moved for taking up the motion of Mr. Parker, with the amendment he had proposed of fixing on a permanent residence.
Mr. JACKSON was against taking up the subjects, either of a temporary or permanent residence, at the present time, when so many other subjects of much greater concern to the welfare and happiness of the Union were under consideration. Neither did he approve of the idea of the house attempting to drive the Senate into any measure which they had already rejected.
Mr. LAWRENCE spoke in general terms upon this question, and was so extremely candid and generous in his observations, that it would have been difficult for a spectator, unacquainted with the persons of the members, to have judged whether he was a Representative from the city of New-York. Least we should be censured for partiality towards Mr. Lawrence, we omit stating his arguments, except barely remarking that few members have ever appeared to more advantage than we think he did upon this occasion.
Mr. GERRY was extremely minute, and addressed himself to the understanding of the advocates for an adjournment with almost every argument that could be imagined, both with regard to the impolicy of the proceeding, and the unparliamentary manner in which it had been introduced.
After several members had spoken on the subject, the Yeas and Nays were taken, and were, for taking up the Resolution 32—against it 29. So the Resolution was taken up.
The motion now being before the House, Mr. Sedgwick, after a short introduction, wherein he expressed his apprehensions that an adjournment to Philadelphia would be inauspicious to the harmony of the Union, moved, That both the Resolutions proposed by Mess'rs Parker and Gerry should be referred to a committee of the whole, for the benefit of a more free and liberal discussion.
The question for commitment was then put, and negatived—Nays 33—Yeas 28.
Another motion for adjournment was then made and carried.
FRIDAY, JUNE 11.
In committee of the whole on the bill for repealing after the last day of the duties heretofore laid on distilled spirits of foreign manufacture, and laying others in their stead.
The committee proceeded as far as the forty-seventh section of the bill—they then rose, and the chairman re-
ported progress. The house then adjourned.
MONDAY, JUNE 14.
In committee of the whole on the bill for repealing, after the last day of the duties heretofore laid on spirits of foreign manufacture, and laying others in their stead.
Mr. SENEY in the chair.
The committee proceeded in the discussion of the bill, and finished it.—They then rose, and the Chairman reported the same to the house, with sundry amendments.
Mr. SEDGWICK made some objections to entering into a consideration of the amendments proposed to this bill. He wished that the question of assumption should be first decided upon.
Mr. SHERMAN was in favor of finishing the bill at this time—He wished and expected that the assumption would be taken up, before the close of the session—and said, it may be made the subject of a separate bill.
Mr. BLOODWORTH offered several objections to the bill.
Mr. MADISON was in favor of finishing it.
Mr. STONE read a statement which he had prepared containing several duties on Imposts and Tonnage, in addition to those already said—and some new ones—which he supposed might be substituted, in lieu of the Excise proposed in the bill, to which he was opposed.
Mr. GERRY was opposed to proceeding in the consideration of the bill—He wished it might lie for a few days, till the House could possess themselves of the opinion of the Senate—whom he had been informed, now had the subject of assumption under consideration.
Mr. FITZSIMONS replied to Mr. GERRY. He thought it a very extraordinary proposition, that the house should wait for the determination of the Senate upon any subject, more especially a question of this kind—besides he very much doubted the right of the Senate to originate any thing on the business of the assumption—but we are not to decide hastily, said he, because a majority may determine differently from what some gentlemen appear to wish should take place!
I would ask, said he, how this legislature is ever to go on with the important business before them, except they are to abide by the decision of the majority. Some gentlemen appear to be opposed to the principal of the bill—others are opposed to all duties except the State debts are assumed. Let us reflect on our situation, provided no provision is to be made for the domestic debt of the United States. He hoped the consideration of the bill would be delayed no longer.
Mr. GERRY replied to Mr. FITZSIMONS; he contended that the Senate had a right to originate the business of the assumption, and that it had been customary for that house to wait for the decision of the Senate, when they had been informed that they were on a subject which the house had contemplated taking up; he declared that no man realized more than he did, the importance of funding the public debts—but then he wished the system to be commensurate to the object—to be impartial, liberal and just.
On the question to take up the report of the committee, Mr. Vining moved for the Ayes and Noes, which being called, were
AYES 30.—NOES 24.
The house then took up the amendments proposed—and agreed to the same—Other amendments were made.

The clause which imposes a duty on stills was objected to by several gentlemen, and after some conversation on the subject, it was agreed that the Bill should lie on the table.
Mr. FITZSIMONS laid the following resolution on the table, viz. "Resolved, that from and after the last day of next, the duties heretofore laid on Teas and Coffee, shall cease, and that the following be laid in their stead, viz."
"On Bohea Tea, 12 Cents pr. lb. "Souchong and other Black Teas, 20 Cents, "Hyson Tea, 40 Cents, "Other Green Teas, 24 Cents, "Coffee, 5 Cents."
In committee of the whole on the Bill for establishing the Post-Office and Post Roads.
Mr. BOUDINOT in the Chair.
The committee made some progress in the discussion of this bill—but not having time to finish it, asked leave to sit again.
A message was received from the Senate, informing the House that they have passed the act for extending the Judicial Law of the United States to the State of Rhode-Island, with one amendment, which was to reduce the salary of the District Judge from one thousand, to eight hundred dollars.
This amendment was agreed to.
A message was received from the President, informing that he had approved and signed an Act for extending sundry acts therein mentioned, to the State of Rhode-Island—an act for the relief of Thomas Jenkins and company—and also a resolution for annexing to the code of laws, the several treaties now made, and that may be made between the United States and foreign nations.
Further Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, (France) April 12.
The National guard last night seized on 17 casks of specie, which were conveying from the Royal Treasury for some secret service. Centinels were immediately placed over the seizure, and it is said this practice of transporting specie has been carrying on for some weeks.
LONDON, MAY 1—7.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—MAY 6, 1790.
THE KING'S MESSAGE.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer recapitulated the particulars of the insult received from Spain, and said, that when to these circumstances was added the consideration that armaments were carrying on in the Spanish ports, there could be no difference of opinion respecting the propriety of supporting his Majesty in such measures as might be necessary to obtain adequate satisfaction, and such an explanation as might prevent future disputes; and moved an address to that effect.
Mr. Fox was of the same opinion; but blamed the Chancellor of the Exchequer for holding out assurances of peace on opening the budget, when he was in possession of facts that he knew might eventually lead to war.
Count Florida Blanca, the Spanish minister, is reported to be a warm man, though a faithful and able servant of his master. Possibly in his cooler moments he may be glad to correct the hasty style of his answer to the remonstrance of the British Ambassador.
The language held by the Court of Madrid, when applied to on the subject of the seizure of the British ships in Nootka Sound, is reported to have been "We are warranted in the proceeding complained of, and we are ready to justify it."
That the late captures of our ships, and captivity of our seamen, was done with the knowledge of the Spanish Ministry, is past all doubt; yet all know that Spain is at present in a situation totally incapable of offence or defence without the aid of other powers. What then, must be the natural inference,
but that those powers have in some shape promised to assist her?
For several nights past, the admiralty officers have appeared as if illuminated for joy at the glimpse of Bellona, and the several houses of the Lord Commissioners, night and day crowded with half-pay heroes, some of whom appear re-animated with the prospect of fresh uniforms.

The PUBLICK CREDIT , an old ship, crazy, weather beaten and leaky—lost sight of her consorts—and having narrowly escaped on former occasions, kept astern—She has a good pilot on board, and may be expected to arrive, when

BOSTON, June 24.
S U I C I D E.
Yesterday afternoon, a melancholy catastrophe happened in this town; a man by the name of Henry Prescott , in the 84th year of his age, put an end to his existence in a very shocking manner. It appeared by the evidence that was produced before the Coroner's Inquest, that he was a man of violent passions and extravagant ideas; having put a very large charge in an old pistol, he placed the muzzle to his mouth, and set fire to the powder with a lighted pipe of tobacco—the explosion blew off the front part of his face and his brains to a considerable distance; his skull was in small pieces, near ten feet from the place where he was found, which was on Fort-Hill. The Coroner's Inquest, brought in their verdict—That he was guilty of Suicide.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENTS.
Last Tuesday evening two young women, who lived in Mr. Frederick W. Geyer's family, in Cambridge, having occasion to bathe themselves in the river, and venturing too far, were both unfortunately drowned. The body of one of them was found yesterday morning, drifted a considerable distance down the river; of the body of the other we have not heard.
A melancholy accident happened at New-York, on the evening of the 13th inst.—A promising boy, 9 years of age, nephew of Sir John Temple, fell overboard from a sloop in the North-River, and was drowned—his body was found the next day.
June 30. Letters from New-York, by last night's mail, say, that there is yet a prospect, that the Assumption will take place this session.

Saturday last arrived Capt. JOHN TUCKER, in the brig Diamond , from Martinique, and St. Eustatius.—He left Martinique the 4th day of June, at which time a report prevailed, that News had just arrived from France and that all the Ports in the French West-Indies were ordered to be shut against the Americans.
On the 3d of June an insurrection took place at Martinique, among the Mulattoes and other people of colour, they attacked the fort in the town of St. Pierre, and killed the Captain of the Guards: In consequence of which all the Inhabitants flew to Arms, overpowered the Mulattoes and immediately hung up between 40 and 50, and confined in jail between 70 and 100 others who were to be executed the next day.—Capt. Tucker set sail at 12 o'clock when preparations were making for their execution.
Extract of a letter from Martinique, June 3, 1790.
"This day according to the custom of the French, is a high holiday, and preparations was making accordingly. When a plot was discovered that turn all their mirth. The Mulattoes had combined together to murder every white person in the Island, but by good fortune it was discovered by a Mulatto girl. I have just come from the shore, and Oh! my God! such a scene I never saw. Many hung up and stabbed in fifty different places, others shot down dead in the streets, the same as wild beasts, then stabbed and trampled upon. All this I have seen not ten minutes since; every man under Arms; no sooner a Mulatto is discovered, than he is shot or hung without any trial."
On Capt. Tucker's arrival at St. Eustatius, he saw the Ordinance of France published in the Gazette of the Island, which forbid the admission of our Flag in the French Ports.
INDIANS.
A letter received at Winchester, [Virg.] the 1st inst. dated at Lexington, Kentucky, May 29th says, "Yesterday a body of Indians came into this neighbourhood, killed several white people, took several children prisoners, and carried off a number of horses. Two Companies march to-morrow morning in pursuit of them. Much trouble is expected in this quarter this summer, as the savages appear to be determined on every barbarity and mischief in their power."
EMIGRANTS.
Since the last of April, 600 emigrants have arrived in the Potowmack from Europe, destined to the lands of the Ohio Company. Some of them are persons of fortune; and proprietors in the lands; and others are mechanics, from Paris and other cities of France; and Husbandmen from the provinces of France, from Germany, &c.
The report of the death of the Emperor of Morocco is premature—but it confirms what his Tawny Majesty said of the English a few years ago, "that of all European nations, they were the most damnably given to LYING."
DIED]—At Thompson, in Connecticut, HENRY ELITHROP, of that place, aged one hundred and five years three months and thirteen days. The Friday before his death he was as usual, walked about the house, conversed freely, and went to bed well, but in the morning was found to be speechless, and in a measure senseless and remained so till he died. He was supposed to be struck with a fit of the palsy.
SHIP NEWS.
Arrived at Philadelphia the 12th inst. from Carthagena, a brig and a Schooner, with the remainder of the people who went from thence some time since to settle in that place.

arrived at Philadelphia the 11th inst. in 37 days from Belfast with near 300 passengers in good health. Upwards of 50 children were born in this ship during her passage from Belfast to that port. Same day arrived the brig Laura , Captain Holmes. She sailed from that port the 11th ult. bound to Vigo in Spain but was obliged to put back in great distress, after throwing over-board about 2000 bushels of corn.—On the 28th of May, in lat. 38, 26, long. 67, 40, fell in with the Maria of, and from Baltimore, for Corunna; out 5 days, all well.

New-York, June 22. Last Friday arrived in this port the brig Havannah , Capt. Thomas Suter, in 38 days from Newry, in Ireland, with 175 passengers. We are informed, that Capt. Nail, in the brig Mary , was to have sailed from Newry on the 20th of May, with Passengers—and that the number of persons preparing for this new world of freedom were innumerable.
PORTLAND, June 28.
Last Friday was executed in this town Thomas Bird, who at the district Court held the first instant, was convicted of the murder of Captain John Conner, on board the Mary , on the coast of Africa. The number of spectators was judged to be not less than three or four thousand, who generally paid a decent attention to the solemn religious exercises of the day.

Capt. Hofmer arrived at Salem on the 12th ult. from Nantes. He brings no accounts of any remarkable disturbances in France: on the contrary, every thing appeared to be tranquil—the people were happy in the revolution which had been effected—the badges of party were laying aside, the Nobles who had quitted the kingdom, were invited by authority to return and occupy their estates; many had accepted the invitation, and the estates of those who should not return within a fixed time were to be confiscated.
A fragment received,—shall have a place in our next.
