For the GAZETTE.
Mr. MELCHER, THE Collection of Vulgarisms sent you herewith was made for the use of a school, in which it has been found extremely beneficial; If a similar method were adopted in all the schools throughout America for correcting local improprieties, it would eradicate many of those discordant sounds which embellish the style not barely of schools but even of the public speaker. This, with the assistance of a literary standard, which Congress will probably establish, would reduce the language of the States to a degree of similarity and accuracy which would not be the smallest link in the bond of Union.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES.
MONDAY, JULY 5.
After sundry petitions, &c. were read and decided on—among which was one from the prisoners confined in the gaol of New-York, for a general Bankruptcy Act—the House adjourned, the day being devoted to the celebration of the anniversary of American Independence.
TUESDAY, JULY 6.
The President, by message, informed the House, that he had given his assent to two Acts, viz.—An Act for giving effect to an Act providing for the enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States, in respect to the State of Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations—and, an Act authorizing the purchase of a tract of land therein mentioned.
RESIDENCE BILL.
In Committee of the whole, the Bill for determining the temporary and permanent seat of government, was considered. Mr. Sherman moved that the following words should be struck out of the first clause, viz. “On the river Potomack, at some place between the mouths of the Eastern Branch and Conogocheque,”—and moved to insert a clause which should include the town of Baltimore, in lieu thereof. This motion brought on a debate, which lasted until after three o'clock.
Mr. SMITH, of Maryland, and Mr. CARROL, moved in the course of the debate, that the petitions from Baltimore and Georgetown, should be read.
The debate was lengthy and animated—neither our time or limits will admit of giving a sketch this day. The committee rose without coming to a decision, and the House adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 7.
IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
RESIDENCE BILL.
Mr. SHERMAN's motion for striking out Potomack, and inserting Baltimore was further debated.
Mr. Gerry, Mr. Livermore, Mr. Sedgwick, Mr. Smith, (S. C.) Mr. Burke, and Mr. Ames, were the speakers against the Potomack. Mr. White, Mr. Vining and Mr. Madison in favor of it.
The question being at length put, the motion for striking out was negatived—37 to 23.
Mr. SEDGWICK moved to strike out Potomack, and to insert Delaware—this was negatived without debate.
Mr. SENEY, after premising several observations, moved that the permanent residence should be fixed between Potomack and the Susquehanna—the situation to be determined under certain instructions, by the Commissioners to be appointed by the bill.
This motion was negatived without a division.
Mr. GERRY moved to amend the clause, so as to include the town of Alexandria—this was negatived.
A motion made by Mr. Smith (M.) to insert the word “locate,” was next put and negatived. As was also a motion made by Mr. Lawrance, to strike out “1800,” and to insert “1795.”
Several other motions were put and negatived.
Mr. BURKE then moved the following amendment, viz.
“Be it further enacted, That the city of New-York shall be the seat of the government of the United States until the day of ; and that thereafter, as soon as the same may be conveniently done, all the officers attached to the seat of the general government of the United States shall be removed to the city of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, which shall thenceforth be the seat of said government until the day of .”
The committee rose without taking up the proposition—it was therefore laid on the table.
THURSDAY, JULY 8.
The amendment proposed by Mr.
BURKE yesterday, was discussed, and after some debate rejected. 32 to 28.
Mr. SMITH (S. C.) moved that these words “at which place the ensuing session of Congress shall be held” should be erased.
This occasioned further debate—the constitutionality of passing a law on the subject of adjournment was contested by those in opposition to the bill.
The motion being negatived, and the bill being gone through with, the Committee rose and reported the same without any amendments. It was then voted that it should lie on the table till to-morrow.
FRIDAY, JULY 9.
On motion of Mr. HARTLEY the House took up the residence bill as reported by the committee of the whole.
Mr. BOUDINOT, after expressing his disapprobation of the bill generally, moved that the Potomack should be struck out and the Delaware inserted—and called the Ayes and Noes—after some debate this motion was negatived—Ayes 23—Noes 39.

Mr. SMITH, (M.) moved to strike out Potomack, and insert, between the Potomack and Susquehanna.—Ayes 25—Noes 36.
Mr. LAWRENCE moved to strike out Potomack, and insert Baltimore.—Ayes 26—Noes 34.
Mr. GERRY moved to strike out the words “purchase of”—Ayes 26—Noes 35.
Mr. GERRY moved to insert a clause, which should limit the Commissioners in the expence, to the sum to be appropriated by the bill.—Ayes 26—Noes 33.
Mr. LAWRENCE moved to add these words, “provided the buildings shall not exceed the sum of dollars” Ayes 26—Noes 32.
Mr. GERRY moved that the words “Three Commissioners, or any two of them,” should be struck out. This was negatived.
Mr. TUCKER moved that the whole of the 5th sect. should be struck out. Ayes 28—Noes 33.
Mr. BURKE moved to strike out the first Monday in December next, and to insert the first Monday in May, 1792. Ayes 28—Noes 32.
Mr. SHERMAN moved that “December” be struck out before the word “next,” and May inserted.—Ayes 28—Noes 33.
Mr. Smith, (S. C.) moved that the words “at which place the next session of Congress shall be held”—should be struck out ; he moved this amendment he said, on account of the unconstitutionality of the clause.—Ayes 26—Noes 33.
Mr. SMITH, (M.) moved an amendment by which the public officers should be removed to the Potomack previous to the year 1800, provided the buildings should be prepared for their reception before that time.—Ayes 13—Noes 48.
It was moved that the bill be read the third time on Monday next ; this was negatived.
To-morrow was then proposed, this was negatived.
A motion was made to adjourn—which was also negatived.

VIENNA, (Germany) April 24.
Intelligence is received here that the fortress of Orlova surrendered to the Austrians, by capitulation on the 16th instant. The garrison were permitted to retire, under an escort, but not to Viddin.
HERVE, April 27. The day before yesterday about 1200 Franchmontese passed by this city, armed with fusils, hatchets, pitchforks, and pikes. They said they were going to Liege, to assist their friends and brothers. To-morrow we expect the inhabitants of Verviers armed in the same manner and for the same cause.
They are prepared to make a vigorous resistance against the attack of the troops of the empire.
MENTZ, May 1. On Wednesday next our troops destined for the country of Liege, will embark on board some transports. This morning a train of artillery, consisting of six pieces of cannon, two howitzers, a number of baggage, ammunition, and other waggons, passed the bridge of the Rhine, escorted by a detachment of hussars and infantry, directing their course to Juliers, where the troops are to assemble.
MADRID, (Spain) April 16. All the officers absent on leave have been ordered to join their respective regiments without any delay ; and all the infantry have orders to compleat their regiments as soon as possible.
Equal orders have been sent to our different ports, to arm all the fleets, and every preparation indicates war.
LONDON, May 9—15.
The English East-Indiaman that lately entered the port of Cadiz, was the Henry Dundas, Capt. M'Nab. The report on 'Change that she had been carried into Cadiz, had a great effect upon the stocks, as it was considered that she had been actually captured, and that this was intended by the Court of Spain as a declaration of war. But it is now known that she was not carried into Cadiz, but that she entered that port in perfect freedom. The avowed cause of her putting in there was stress of weather ; but a commercial pursuit was thought to be the real cause. However, be that as it may, the Court of Directors have received a letter from Capt. M'Nab, which has set their minds at rest, with respect to the real situation of the ship ; for that gentleman informed the Court in his letter, that he intended to put to sea again in a day or two, and pursue his voyage to the East. Had this ship been captured, all negotiation with Spain would have been at an end ; and our sailors instead of our Ambassadors must have settled the dispute. At present it is to be hoped that the Unanimity shewn by both Houses of Parliament to stand by the King, and grant him a force sufficient to do himself justice, will have a proper effect upon the Spanish Minister, and make him listen to the dictates of prudence and moderation, by which the blessings of peace may still be preserved to both countries.
Yesterday his Majesty was pleased to issue his Royal Proclamation for recalling and prohibiting seamen and other natural born subjects of his dominions, from serving foreign Princes, and States and for granting a reward of 20s. for discovering every seaman who shall conceal himself.
In a letter received by yesterday's post from Portsmouth, by a gentleman in the city, particular mention is made, that previous to writing, an incredible number of Jews had arrived there, and engaged for every empty house in that town, Common, and Gosport ; and the
owners had let them upon terms of enormous advance, provided the war should continue. They have even contracted for building of new houses, as they appear certain of a war, and that it will prove very advantageous from the amazing riches our ships of war and privateers most probably may bring from the South Seas, and other Spanish settlements.
By accounts received at Lloyd's upwards of three hundred sail of merchant ships are expected to arrive in the course of this month, which will furnish Government with a sufficient number of seamen to man the ships fitting out.
The ships of war which have been put into commission, are not only ordered to be manned with as much despatch as possible, but victualled.
The Russian squadron which is to put to sea this summer is composed of 31 ships of the line. Where this great force is to act, whether in the Baltic, or in the mediterranean and Levant seas, is still a secret. The fleet of Russian gallies destined to serve in the Gulph of Finland is to be 100 strong.
The grand Swedish fleet is at sea, and was spoken with by several ships off Bornholm, on the 3d instant. It consists of 25 sail of the line, 15 frigates, and a prodigious number of other armed vessels.
A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 8th inst. says, “The face of things have taken a very sudden change, and wears all the appearance of war. The workmen are busily employed in our dock-yards in getting a fleet ready for sea, and the same bustle pervades our military departments. Those unexpected appearances are in consequence of some recent dispatches from the court of London, with which the report is, we are shortly to unite in a war against Spain.”
When the press broke out on Saturday last at Greenock, the inhabitants of that town were much irritated by the conduct of the gang, in breaking open houses, and carrying off persons who had never been at sea. Some hours after, a boat from the Savage sloop going towards shore, a mob of about 4000 people, chiefly women, assembled, attacked them with stones, dangerously wounded one, and obliged the others to take shelter on board a vessel along side the pier. The crew of an American vessel were also taken by the Savage, but were afterwards given up.
Government have received a confirmation from the British Consul at Leghorn, that the Republic of Venice had entered into an alliance with Spain and Naples, to assist the Courts of Peterburgh and Vienna ; and there is not a shadow of doubt but that France is to join this formidable league.
Monday evening all the ships of war which are under sailing orders at Spithead, took in 400 barrels of gunpowder each.
Every third rate has been ordered to complete its complement of men to 600, being the utmost to which they are furnished in the height of war.
An alliance between Spain and Russia is confirmed by advices just communicated to Government from our Consul (for we have no Ambassador) at the Court of Spain.
These advices state, that an alliance offensive and defensive has just been solemnly ratified, between the Kings of Spain and Sardinia, the Empress of Russia, and the State of Venice, in order to resist by force the present politics of the British and Prussian Cabinets.
A Counsel was held last night at Buckingham house, in consequence of those alarming dispatches.
DUBLIN, May 18. A letter from Belfast, of May 14, says, “Since Monday last there has been a smart press, in this harbour, in consequence of the chance of a Spanish war.”
“Last Saturday the Brother from this port for Philadelphia, with upwards of 170 passengers, linen cloth, and glass, sailed with a fair wind.”

SPANISH WAR. ST. JOHN'S ( Antigua ) June 23, 1790. Altho' we cannot announce the certainty of War with Spain, yet from private intelligence received from different quarters, it may be looked upon as absolutely unavoidable, if it is not already commenced. The haughty demeanor of Spain, and the spirited conduct of the British Ministers, seem to render any compromise or negotiation very unlikely or indeed impracticable.
FREDERICKSBURG, June 24. Died on Monday last, Francis Dade, jun. a promising youth, aged about 14 years. His death was occasioned by a bite which he received from a mad dog, about two months since. He expired with all the aggravating circumstances attending the Hydrophobia.
WORCESTER, July 15. On Monday last, we are told, great damage was done to the fields of grain, &c. in Oxford, Sutton, &c. by the fall of hail, which is said to be the largest ever known in this part of the country. by the oldest persons now living.—We hear that some fields were entirely cut and broken to pieces.—We have received no particulars.
From Leominster, we learn that on the same day the storm of thunder, hail, &c. was severely felt there; the hail was exceedingly large, and did great damage to fields of grain; one of eight acres was entirely cut down and destroyed, the house of the Rev. Mr. Gardner much injured, and 135 squares of glass broken.—In some places the hail that fell covered the ground four or five inches. A young lad who was out in the storm, was beaten down and much injured—many of the hailstones, we are told, were as large as the eggs of a pullet.
BOSTON July 19.  WESTERN POSTS.  Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Quebec to his friend in St. John's, (N.B.) dated 28th May, 1790. "Lord Dorchester is going to Montreal, having received a recent alarm of the American's intention of attacking the upper posts.—The troops are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning.—Most people here believe, that the Americans are now actually on their march, from the last accounts received."
FRENCH SQUADRON. The squadron of the Naval Armies of His Most Christian Majesty, under the command of the Right Hon. le Viscount DE PONTEVES-GIEN, is expected to arrive in this harbour by the 20th of next month, from the West-Indies.
By a Brig from Alicante, arrived since our last, we learn, that there were reports in circulation, at that place, that the fracas between Great-Britain and Spain was likely to be accommodated, through the mediation of His Most Christian Majesty.
On Thursday last, a schooner belonging to Nova-Scotia, was seized by the Officers of the Revenue, for a breach of the laws of trade. There had been upwards of two hundred quintal of fish smuggled from on board her—which were sold. The master is confined in gaol.
FROM NEW-YORK —July 14, 1790. Monday last a committee of the Senate, appointed the 2d inst. brought in a report on the Assumption, which contains the following:
RESOLVED, That a loan be proposed, to the amount of twenty one million of dollars, and that subscriptions to the said loan be received at the same times and places, by the same persons, and upon the same terms as in respect to the loan which may be proposed concerning the domestic debt of the United States, subject to the exceptions and qualifications hereafter mentioned. And the sums which shall be subscribed to the said loan, shall be payable in the principal and interest of the certificates or notes, which, prior to the first day of January last, were issued by the respective States, as acknowledg-
ments or evidences of debts by them respectively owing, and which shall appear by oath or affirmation, (as the case may be) to have been the property of an individual or individuals, or body politic, other than a State, on the said first day of January last.

Congress are now proceeding with much dispatch, in finishing a number of Bills which have been under consideration. The delay of these Bills has given them an opportunity of making several very important amendments, which the want of information at first precluded.
JULY 15, P. M. Yesterday the Hon. Senate accepted the report, and passed the Resolutions for ASSUMING the part of the State Debts mentioned therein, by, I hear a majority of two,
This day the Committee of the whole went through the Ways and Means bill and reported the same to the House, without amendment. Mr. MADISON, in the House moved a limiting clause, which occasioned a debate until the time of adjournment.
The House has resolved to adjourn the 27th inst.—Funds they certainly will, if not Assume.
A vessel arrived at Alexandria, brings accounts from London as late as May 17, nine days later than before received. These state, that a declaration of WAR had not been made—but that impressing seamen—fitting out armaments, &c. go on as brisk as ever.
It is supposed in England, that the armaments equipping, are designed to attack Porto-Rico.
A Correspondent observes, That if any person twelve months agone had suggested the idea that the public business would be so absurdly conducted as we find it is, he would have been his'd from society, as reflecting on the wisdom and even integrity of Congress.—But whether integrity is wanting, is too delicate to say; but that wisdom is not a leading trait of their character, is too evident to be doubted.
Another Correspondent is sorry to find that the proceedings of Congress have exposed them to that just censure which appears to prevail throughout every part of the United States.—Every City, County, Town, Parish and Individual, (excepting the creatures who bask in the sunshine of favours) are complaining of their tardiness as to public business, and their horrid profuseness of their Constituents Money.—Who would have tho't that our Government which was so highly applauded, would be so soon exposed to the laughable representation of a Caracature; an exhibition fraught with the most contemptible images, and conveying sentiments highly derogatory to our national honor and respectability.
"The 4th of March next will complete two Years since the present House met, for the purpose of making Provision for the Debts of the Union; and still we are to be distracted by Opposition and Divisions."—[Mr. Stone's Speech in Congress.]
PORTSMOUTH, July 22.  Extract of a letter from New-York, dated June 13.
"The dispute about the residence of Congress is the only subject of conversation here. I wish it was settled—for
it is too evident, that an eye to it influences the votes upon many questions, and, in some instances, produces delays or decisions that are both injurious and dishonorable to our country."
SPANISH WAR. By the ship Friendship, from Montevideo , we learn that a vessel had arrived at Antigua with advice of a Spanish War, and that a severe press had taken place there.
MR. MURRAY. We hear from Philadelphia that the Rev. Mr. MURRAY, preacher of the doctrine of universal salvation, is followed by such crowds of hearers that the Universal Church, (in Lodge-Alley) is not capable of containing his audience. Through the indulgence of the Trustees of the College Mr. MURRAY is now permitted to preach in the College-Hall.
Last Lords' day morning departed this life, Mrs. MARCY HART, consort of Mr. Richard Hart of this town, in the 51st year of her age:—She was naturally possessed of great sensibility and tenderness of heart, of a degree of compassion for the distressed, and of sympathy with the afflicted that was almost too much for her enjoyment; this brought many of the children of affliction and poverty to her, who found in her a comforter and benefactor.—She was early impressed with a sense of religion, and for many years was a professor of it, and a constant attendant upon its divine institution—she was a tender and affectionate wife, and the heart of her husband trusted in her—she was a kind, indulgent, and anxious mother, anxious for the best good of her children—she was a kind mistress, a faithful friend, full of benevolence and charity to all, she lived beloved, died lamented, and is gone we trust, where all tears are wiped away, and sin and sorrow cease.—Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Last Saturday morning departed this life in 37th year of her age, in the full assurance of a happy change, Mrs. SARAH BUCKMINSTER, the amiable consort of the Rev. Mr. Buckminster of this town, and only child of the Rev. Dr. Stevens of Kittery:—In her death the husband has lost an amiable wife—the children a tender and attentive parent—the servant a kind and indulgent mistress—the church a worthy sister and the poor a bountiful benefactor.

Mr. PRINTER, I was a little surprized when I saw your last, at a well known correspondent's proposing the candidates he did for representing this State in Congress, when he must know not only this town, but almost every town in the State will vote for the Hon.
