CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES:
AT THE SECOND SESSION,
Begun and held at the City of New-York, on Monday the 4th of January, 1790.
An ACT to provide for mitigating or remitting the Forfeitures and Penalties accruing under the Revenue Laws in certain cases therein mentioned.
B E it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That whenever any person who now is or hereafter shall be liable to a fine, penalty or forfeiture, or interested in any Vessel, Goods, Wares or Merchandise, or other thing which may be subject to seizure and forfeiture by force of the laws of the United States, now existing, or which may hereafter exist for collecting duties of Impost and Tonnage, and for regulating the coasting trade, shall prefer his petition to the Judge of the district in which such fine, penalty or forfeiture may have accrued, truly and particularly setting forth the circumstances of his case, and shall pray that the same may be mitigated or remitted: The said Judge shall inquire in a summary manner into the circumstances of the case, first cauling reasonable notice to be given to the person or persons claiming such fine, penalty or forfeiture, and to the Attorney of the United States for such district, that each may have an opportunity of shewing cause against the mitigation or remission thereof; and shall cause the facts which shall appear upon such inquiry to be stated and annexed to the
petition, and direct their transmission to the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, who shall thereupon have power to mitigate or remit such fine, penalty or forfeiture, or any part thereof, if, in his opinion, the same was incurred without wilful negligence, or any intention of fraud, and to direct the prosecution, if any shall be instituted for the recovery thereof, to cease and be discontinued upon such terms or conditions as he may deem reasonable and just.
Provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect the right or claim of any person to that part of any fine, penalty or forfeiture incurred by breach of either of the laws aforesaid, which such person may be entitled to by virtue of the said laws, in cases where a prosecution has been commenced, or information has been given before the passing of this Act; the amount of which right and claim shall be assessed and valued by the judge of the district in a summary manner.
And be it further enacted, That this Act shall continue and be in force until the end of the next session of Congress—and no longer.

TRUTH—AN ESSAY.
TRUTH is the first and most substantial feature in every character. Without this every other quality loses its value, and the word of even the most accomplished gentleman on earth in all other respects, like a piece of false money, is blasted in its circulation.
Why is the human heart so constantly the object of all moral injunctions and requisitions? It is because habits of falsehoods, and duplicity, are as opposite to purity and peace of mind, as darkness is to light, or as death is to life. The throne of God stands on immutable truth. Truth is the pedestal of all his works, the pillar of the universe, the beginning, and middle, and end of all things; and can man, who was made in the image and similitude of his maker, be destitute of truth? He may, and is, in a thousand instances, most certainly: But then he is only a shadow without a substance, a body without a soul, the hollow semblance of what he is not.
Surely nature, who deals in nothing empty or deceitful, has no concern in the creation of this curious fabrication. Her offspring is all genuine, and real throughout: She works only in originals; and whatever assumes her name, without this well known criterion, is spurious, and not her's. The man of politeness and fashion, the coxcomb, the parasite, and the courtier, being all only so many different modifications of what is termed in vulgar phraseology a common liar, are none of her productions, but originate in froth and owe their existence to a vapour.
In the common concerns of life, we neither buy nor sell, nor borrow or lend, nor form connections, nor commerce friendships, where we have no confidence. The great cement of every durable tie is wanting, and we have not even an inclination to unite where that assimilating quality, by which congenial minds are locked up in one another, is not.
Suspicion, that canker-worm of the heart, whether well or ill founded, is at the bottom of all that peculiar shyness,

aversion, and disrespect that prey on the vitals, and rifle, in fact, all the sweets of society. And shall they triumph in their imposition, whose shallow masks scarcely hide them from the world? How long shall Americans continue the dupes of every plausible appearance? How long shall they be to learn, that all fashionable substitutes of sterling worth, are most perfectly insignificant and contemptible? and like the course, unseemly daubings of prostitutes, can only serve in the issue, to heighten and expose the peculiar deformities they were meant to conceal.
"'Tis pbrafe absurd to call a villain great! Who wickedly is wife, or madly brave, Is but the more a fool, the more a knave: A wit's a feather, and a chief a rod, An honest man's the noblest work of God." O. Z.
L O N D O N, June 22.
The poor vice consul of Spain, at Morocco, was tied to the tail of a wild ass, which, with this poor miserable man at his heels, was hunted till he became furious; and from this situation the consul was taken, only to be hanged. The Emperor said it was not consistent with the etiquette of his Court to hang him in effigy.
The Emperor of Morocco did not make a general massacre of the Jews. He delivered over their effects to pillage; and that their race might be no longer distinct, he ordered his soldiery to violate their wives and daughters. A Jew of the name of Aral, the favourite of the late Emperor, he condemned to lose his arms and legs, and then to be thrown into the fire. After all, says our correspondent, the reign of Mufi El Zezed has begun more moderately than that of his august and respectable father.
It is computed that the number of men already raised for the navy, since the commencement of the present alarm, amounts to 16,000.
The prospect of Spanish dollars, has anticipated the intentions of the press gangs. The fleet ready to sail is one of the best manned, and best fitted, that ever sailed out of an English harbour. Copy of a letter from a gentleman in Paris, to his friend in London.
I yesterday saw a letter from Spain, written by a Spanish General Officer to a man here of high rank in the army, and in which I read the following paragraph—"Learn for me the precise distinction of the English squadron of fourteen ships of the line and procure, and send me the most early intelligence of their sailing. We consider this fleet as intended to force the Empress to make peace, &c. We on our parts are much better prepared than other powers are aware of."—Such is the paragraph literally rendered.
France will undoubtedly strike the moment England is engaged, no matter with what power, were it even with the States of Barbary. The King will be desirous of a war, the ministers to a man will leave no stone unturned to engage the nation, and their having neither voice nor party in the assembly, will not be the least check upon the measures they will take to make every necessary preparation.

It is a melancholy truth, that a woman, who had been brought up in all the splendor of affluence, and who, upon the death of her father, only a few years since, came from India with a fortune of several thousand pounds, is now on her passage to Botany-Bay, as a convict. A hasty marriage with a disguised sharper, who soon squandered away her money, and drew her, step by step, into a series of mal-practices, was the occasion of this wretched catastrophe. It is not more than five years since she came from India.
A few days ago, the following melancholy accident happened: A young gentleman, who was the next day to have been married to an amiable young lady, the daughter of a tradesman in the city, in a playful moment, pulled the chair away as she was going to set down, in consequence of which, she fell with her
head upon the fender, and fractured her skull, and died in two hours afterwards. The gentleman has been ever since in a state of insanity.

Extract of a letter from Gosport, June 28. "Arrived the Fury sloop of war, from the coast of Spain; she brings intelligence that on the 5th inst. they discovered eighteen sail of the men of war from Ferrol, bound to Cadiz; and that on the 19th inst. she was chased off the coast of Spain by a Spanish frigate; the captain arrived at Torbay on Friday last, and went off express for the admiralty."
"Admiral Barrington is now under way with sixteen sail of the line, 5 frigates and a sloop of war, supposed for the westward."
July 10. The Prince lost between eight and ten thousand pounds at Ascott Races, the greatest part of which was betted against Mr. Fox's Sea gull. The Prince is said to have been so irritated against some of the jockeys for unfair play, as to have declared, he will never make another bett on Ascott Race Ground.
The British fleet was in port 7th July; on which day the Dutch squadron of 10 sail, 8 of the line, arrived at St. Hellens under the command of Mon. le Chevalier de Kingsbergen.
The Ferret Sloop of War arrived at Falmouth from Gibraltar on the 20th June saw 35 Pendants flying in harbor of Cadiz—of that number 18 Ships were of the line.
Dispatches have again been received from Lieut Riou of the Guardian, which put it beyond doubt that he had reached the Cape.
The Swedes are pushing the war against the Russians with great ardor—and have been generally successful.
It has been suggested, that on the event of a war, an alliance with the United States of America would be highly advantageous to this country, and might by proper management be obtained. That America could supply a large number of excellent seamen, is not to be doubted; but the advantage of America as an open ally, in a naval war may admit of a dispute. The United States are not yet in possession of a formidable navy; they have a great extent of coast to defend, which must be defended, by British ships, and which after all, could not be completely defended without such a superiority at sea as would enable us to sweep the whole West India Ocean of the enemy's ships. Were the United States to preserve an ostensible neutrality, their seamen would more naturally resort to our standard than to that of Spain, and we should enjoy the benefit of their services without the inconvenience of protecting their country.

Extract of a letter from London, July 2. "The greatest number of new members will be returned for the next parliament that ever was known: This is occasioned by the debates on the repeal of the Test Act. The established Clergy have made the most extraordinary exertions to displace the friends to the repeal of that act.—Our fleet is yet in port."

GEORGE-TOWN, [Virg.] Aug. 25.
On Saturday evening last, a Dutch schooner arrived at Alexandria, in 15 days from Hispaniola. The Captain of which, confidently asserts, that the declaration of war had been published, previous to his sailing, in most of the capital towns in the Spanish West-India islands: and that, in consequence, privateers were fitting out with the greatest dispatch.
B A L T I M O R E, August 27. Last Sunday afternoon, as some children were playing upon a wharf, one
of them unfortunately fell into the water, and in a short time sunk to the bottom: A little boy, about eleven years of age, hearing the cries and lamentations of his companions, manfully plunged in; and brought up the child to the top of the water, when he was assisted by a negro man, who succeeded in getting him upon the wharf.
By this time the child was deprived of all signs of life; not a pulse to be felt!—not a vivid hue in the eye!—apparently doomed to a subterranean abode!—But, by the humane and benevolent exertions of Dr. Elisha Hall, in pursuing the proper method of resuscitation, the child was soon rescued from the impending jaws of death, and again restored to the fond embraces of its afflicted parents.
A negro man fell into the dock, at Cheapside, and was, apparently drowned; he was, however, taken up, after having been 10 minutes under water, and by the professional skill and humane exertions of Dr. Geo. Buchanan, was happily restored to life, though 20 minutes had elapsed before the Doctor's assistance could be obtained.

In the General Assembly, yesterday, a Memorial from the Mayor, Aldermen and citizens of Philadelphia in common council assembled, was read, suggesting that the public buildings at present in the said city are inadequate to the reception of Congress, therefore praying the House to enable them, or some other body of men, to erect such building as may be necessary, suitable and convenient for that purpose, as well as for the erecting a building for the reception and residence of the President of the United States.
SEPTEMBER 2.
This day about 2 o'clock arrived in town from New-York, the President of the United States—his lady and their suite. They were joined on their approach by a number of respectable citizens—the city troops, and company of light infantry, who, on this occasion, as well as others, ALL testified their affection for the BENEFACTOR OF MANKIND.
Every public demonstration of joy was manifested:—the bells announced his welcome—a FEU DE JOY was exhibited—and as he rode through town to the City Tavern, AGE bowed with respect, and YOUTH repeated, in acclamations, the applauses of the HERO of the Western World.
At 4 o'clock he partook of a repast (provided by the Corporation at the City Tavern) accompanied by the members of our Legislature and of the State Convention—by the President and other executive officers of Pennsylvania, at which REASON, VALOR, and HOSPITALITY presided.
We hear that a number of private citizens intend to provide a dinner for the President of the United States, on Saturday next, at the much admired and beautiful gardens of Messrs. Gray.
It is said that the murderers of the friendly Indians, who were killed in June last, on Pine Creek, Northumberland county, are taken and lodged in the gaol of Sunbury.
N E W-Y O R K, September 1.
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated August 19.
"You desire to know whether we are really building a Federal Hall, &c. for the accommodation of Congress. Be assured the report is unfounded. We Philadelphians have not studied Poor Richard's Almanac (formerly published by Dr. Franklin) to no purpose. In that almanac much sage advice is given, which you New-Yorkers ought betimes, like good boys, to have attended to. One saying of Poor Richard's, particularly, has impressed itself upon our understandings, relative to this matter, viz. Look before you leap, also Old birds are not to be caught with chaff. Be assured we mean to build no halls of any kind, for the purpose above mentioned, unless there should be a certainty of a permanent residence. In that case, something of the sort, after a while may possibly be done. The character of
Congress was never more respectable than in the time of the late war. Our State-House held them comfortably then , and with some few alterations and improvements, it is thought it may do so again, even with the additional branch. Farewell, and remember that we hold two and thirty thousand pounds an object too considerable to be trifled with."
On Wednesday last arrived here in 44 days from Cadiz, the brig Rebecca, Capt. Codwise. Accounts by this vessel say, that when they left that port, the Spaniards had lying there ready for sea, completely fitted and manned with the choicest sailors of Spain, 46 ships of the line, with a considerable number of ships of 50 and 54 guns, and several frigates of 30, 32, and 40 guns. No war, however, was yet declared when Capt. Codwise left Cadiz, although several reinforcements had been sent to the Spanish dominions in America, under strong convoys. The British ambassador was still at the court of Madrid, expecting an answer to his demands, which were said to be unconstitutional, and that 24th of July was the period to which he was limited for waiting the decisive ultimatum of the Spaniards. A letter from Cadiz of July 11th also mentions, that to all appearance the Spaniards seemed under no apprehensions from suffering by a rupture with Great-Britain, the resources of the nation being so immense that they deemed themselves in a better situation than at any former period for contending with the English on the watry element.
SEPTEMBER 9.
The Harmony, Capt. Osman, is safe arrived at London. Notwithstanding the Harmony was navigated by American officers and seamen, her whole crew were pressed on board of British armed ships immediately on her arrival.
M. HOUDEN, a celebrated artist, has presented the National Assembly of France with the busts of WASHINGTON and FRANKLIN.
The members were much pleased with this mark of his respect, and appointed the President to express to him their satisfaction.
P R O V I D E N C E, Sept. 9.
The inhabitants of this town were entertained on Friday evening last, by some foreigners, with the exhibition of an AIR BALLOON of nearly 30 feet in circumference—it unfortunately took fire in a few minutes after it rose. On Tuesday evening they sent off another, about 60 feet in circumference, which ascended most majestically about seven o'clock, and in a few minutes rose beyond the ken of the eye, its last appearance being like that of a very small star: We hear the Balloon was found yesterday morning in Rehoboth, about six miles from this town.
B O S T O N, September 11.
On Thursday arrived here from Halifax, His Britannick Majesty's frigate, Penelope, Capt. LINZEE. She saluted the town with 13 guns, which was returned from the Castle.
When the Penelope left Halifax, a War with Spain was still thought to be inevitable.
Rumours of wars continue —but neither the West-India or English paragraphists, the journals or log-books of seamen, or the hopes or fears of interested individuals, furnish a single instance of the Spaniards and English coming to loggerheads:—It is the wish of humanity they never may. The substance of all the marine intelligence on the subject, is that a vessel spoke a vessel, which had seen a vessel, that saw a frigate that ran the gauntlet through the Spanish fleet. Any person that can give any account of the English messenger to the Court of Spain—or of the Spanish fleet, or of the English fleet, that has sailed on a secret expedition to South-America, will please to call on the public.
Every friend of humanity must deprecate a rupture between those nations, as a public calamity. But if it should happen, there is great reason to suppose that the British will discover as great a share of their after wisdom, as they have

Parnassian SPRING.  THE ROSE. SEE, Delia, see the budding rose, How fragrant and how fair! Behold its leaves their folds disclose, And scent the ambient air. The eyes, with pleas'd attention, gaze Upon its op'ning charms; Its image on the fancy plays, And sweet sensations forms.
But soon its pleasing colours fade Beneath the scorching sun; Its beauties in the dust are laid, And half its sweetness gone. Just so the charms that deck the face, And sparkle in the eye; They bloom & please, a transient space, They wither, droop and die.
Not thus the beauties of the mind, Fair virtue's smiling train; They brighter grow by time refin'd, And constant youth maintain. No nipping frosts nor gnawing worm, Affect the well fix'd root; No scorching heats, nor angry storms Destroy the rip'ning fruit.
On every branch fresh blossoms rise, Each month, each week and day; While constant crops of richest joys The planter's cares repay. Your mind, dear nymph, is virtue's soil, There sow the seeds of bliss; So bounteous Heaven will crown your toil, And give a large increase.
A N E C D O T E. TWO men had committed a murder upon Essex bridge, near Dublin, and were condemned to be executed upon the bridge. When the first was tied up the rope broke, and he fell into the water. By swimming he escaped to the shore. His companion very ear- nestly requested that a strong rope might be procured for him, as he could not swim, and if he fell into the water he would certainly lose his life.
