BOSTON, Oct. 1.
By a gentleman who arrived last Saturday evening from Great Barrington, we are informed, that last Wednesday morning the troops lately raised for the protection of government, were discharged from service, in pursuance of an order from the Commander in Chief. Those orders were communicated to the soldiery, in a short, elegant and pathetic address, by Colonel Lyman, the Commander of the troops. After which a feu de joie was paid by the infantry, and a federal salute of twelve cannon from the artillery. The troops then receiving provision to carry them to their respective homes, began their march. Their regularity and good order, after their discharge, reflected on them the highest honor.
Our informant observes, that the demon of faction and discord seems totally to have subsided; and that the late discontents seem to appear exceedingly anxious for, and are making great exertions to discharge, not only the present, but the back taxes, especially in the county of Berkshire.
New-York, Oct. 6.
Extract of a letter from an American house in Cape Francois, dated the 4th ult. to a gentleman in Boston.
"We are informed by an Ordinance of this day, that NO American vessel (except in distress) will be permitted to enter any French ports in the West-Indies, unless the Captain is provided with a Pass from the Consul resident at the place of his departure."
In the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, on Saturday, the 30th ult. the Speaker having taken the chair, only 44 Members answered upon calling over the roll, so there was not a quorum of the House to proceed to business. The Speaker, however, laid before the Members present, the resolution of Congress of the 28th ult. respecting the report of the Convention, as already published.
The resolution being read to the House, the speaker asked if it was the pleasure of the Members present that the serjeant at arms should be sent to the seceding Members desiring their attendance in their places, and informing them of the resolution of Congress which had been received, and now lay for the consideration of the House. This being unanimously agreed to, at the instance of Mr. D. Clymer, the assistant clerk was directed to accompany the serjeant at arms, and to make a report of the answers which might be received from the absent Members. While the officers of the House were gone upon this duty, Mr. Miley, and Mr. M'Calmont entered the assembly room, in appearance greatly agitated, and the roll being again called, the speaker announced that there was a quorum. Mr. M'Calmont then rose and informed the speaker, that certain persons, whom he could not at that time ascertain, had forcibly intruded upon his lodgings, and brought him to the House by compulsion. He therefore desired that he might have leave to withdraw, as his coming was involuntary, and his remaining there would be in direct opposition to his wishes and intention. He declared however, that he would be governed by the rules of the House, to which he appealed. The rule upon this subject being read, it appeared that there was only a fine of five shillings imposed for a Member withdrawing without leave, and Mr. M'Calmont tendered that sum at the table, but was informed, that Mr. Barr had been appointed by the House to collect all forfeitures, and that to him the money must be paid. Mr. M'Calmont now made an attempt to withdraw, but a general cry of stop him, proceeding from the gallery as well as the House, he paused, and observed, that tho' he insisted upon his right to depart, he would certainly yield to the judgment of the House, which he desired might be immediately taken upon the subject. Upon this, the speaker stated the question to the House, and the following remarks were made by the respective Members.
Mr. Lowry.—Sir, the gentleman has told us that he was brought hither by force; this is certainly to be lamented, and the persons who have been guilty of the violence ought to be punished—but when the gentleman asks permission to withdraw, I think, Mr. Speaker, this House has a right to demand his reasons for absenting himself at all; and unless they are very substantial ones, we shall not do our duty, if we comply with his request.
Mr. Fitzsimons. I hope, Mr. Speaker, the gentleman's request will not be complied with. For the force which has been used towards him, this House cannot be immediately responsible; and if the member will point out the aggressors, we ought certainly to concur in any proper mode to punish them. But, Sir, we are engaged in an important transaction, and are involved in circumstances of a very critical nature. If you allow the gentleman to leave this room,
you defeat the whole business of the legislature, and, in effect, put it in the power of an individual to dissolve the government. The alternative being so stated—I am confident the House will not accede to the request—and their power to refuse, cannot be disputed.
Mr. Robinson. Sir, I am confident that my disposition in favor of the resolutions on your table, is so well known, that I need not trouble the House with any declaration upon that subject, in order to explain the principle which actuates me on the present question: but, I confess that from what has been declared by the gentleman (Mr. M'Calmont) I do not consider that there is at this time a quorum of the legislature assembled; for if any member is detained here by force, he can no longer be considered as a constituent part of the House, and, however disagreeable the consequences, it is not in our power to prevent his departure. The question is evidently of a very critical nature, and on either hand, we are involved in difficulties. It is true, I shall not vote for the leave of the House to sanction his absence, but I can never agree to bar the doors, or to use any other means which shall prevent his quitting it, if contrary to what I think is his duty, he should be so disposed. In that respect he can only be answerable to his conscience and his constituents, and the popular odium must be his punishment.
Mr. Brackenridge. Sir, I conceive that it is of no importance to the question how the gentleman hath been brought hither; whether by the advice of his friends (and they certainly must be his friends who have induced him to attend his duty) or in the easy conveyance of a sedan. Here he is, and it is incontrovertible that it is in the power of the House to keep him here. If any violence has been offered him, his redress must be sought at another tribunal, in the form of an action for the trespass, or of an indictment for the assault; but we have no business to interfere in those points, and it is our duty to secure his attendance, if requisite, to points within our jurisdiction. I hope therefore the House will dismiss the present question, and proceed to a more important subject.
Messrs. D. Clymer, Logan, G. Clymer, and Wynkoop concurred in these sentiments, and the House finally resolved unanimously, that Mr. M'Calmont should not be permitted to withdraw.
The Speaker observed that the Member was certainly within the power of the House; but at the same time the subject of his complaint might be taken up as a breach of privilege.
The Assistant Clerk and Serjeant at Arms being returned, the former stated to the House, that at Mr. Whitehill's lodgings he had spoken with a woman, who appeared to be a servant, and was at first told by her that Mr. Whitehill was at home; that she went up stairs to call him, and remaining there a few minutes, she returned and said he was not within. The Clerk then went after Mr. Findley and some other Members whom he saw in the streets, but Mr. Findley looked back, and seeing him, as he thinks, that gentleman quickened his pace, and suddenly turned into a house. Those Members with whom the Clerk had spoken, were informed of the resolutions of Congress and the request of the House, but uniformly refused to attend, some saying that the resolution had not been transmitted officially, others that they would think of it, and the rest, peremptorily, that they would not return to the House.
The Speaker then stated the resolutions which were under consideration on Friday last, and upon the article fixing the time for electing Delegates to the Convention, it was proposed by Mr. Brackenridge to insert the last Tuesday in October, by Mr. Wynkoop to insert the first Tuesday in November, and by Mr. M'Calmont to insert the fourth Tuesday in December (which was not seconded) but the House finally appointed the first Tuesday in November for choosing the Delegates, and the last Tuesday in the same month, for the Meeting of the Convention, at the State-House in the city of Philadelphia.
On motion of Mr. M'Calmont it was proposed to make Lancaster the place of meeting, but the yeas and nays being called on the question, there appeared 15 in favor of the motion, and 30 against it.
Silver and copper Medals, we are told, are striking off, to be carried by Capt. Kendrick, of Boston, bound to the Pacific Ocean, to be distributed among the natives of the Indian Isles—on one side are represented a ship and loom under full sail, with the words "Columbia and Washington, commanded by J. Kendrick" on the reverse the following "Fitted at Boston, North-America, for the Pacific Ocean, by" encircling the names of "J. Barrall, S. Brown, C. Bushach, J. Derby, C. Hatch, J. M. Pintard. 1787."
On Sunday night last, a certain Bryan Connor induced Mr. Michael Connor, of Philadelphia to leave his bed, on pretence of assisting a drunken man; but, at a small distance from the house he took up a gun,
which seemed to have been intended for the execution of his barbarous purpose, and exclaiming, "what is become of Mrs. Hayes," he discharged the piece at Michael Connor, and a bullet that entered at that gentleman's throat has since been extracted at his right shoulder. These facts have been sworn to before the Honorable Mr. Justice Bryan; and we understand that the perpetrator of so daring an assault has been committed to the gaol of that city.
Mr. CHILDS, Was a good deal surprised, on reading the New-York Journal of this day, to find an impudent and scurrilous attempt of low wit, to throw an odium on the character of a gentleman, not more universally known than respected. I was the more astonished at it, since the Editor, in the same paper, endeavors to justify himself from all partiality; and, with the same breath, promises to admit hereafter such pieces only as decency warrants. Now, whether there is a syllable in the Inspector, No. 2, which throws light on political controversy, or which can any way advance the national interest, I submit to the candid part of society. It is certainly very unmanly in the Inspector (who ought, more properly, to have assumed the title of An Inquisitor) to attack, in so gross a manner, the reputation of a citizen, invulnerable in his own personal conduct, and to whom this State, and the Union at large, owe some weighty obligations. Is it honest, I would ask, to torture his able and well-intended, his judicious and patriotic exertions to subserve the common interest of this young empire; and to wrest it into a disposition hostile to liberty, and promotive only of his own personal aggrandizement? Has any act in his military, professional or political career, been substantiated, by credible or avowed testimony, as a deviation from the nicest rectitude—or as stained in any manner with dishonor? I believe not.—Since, then, neither envy, nor the strongest efforts of a depraved nature; since that species of revenge, which arises from heart-knavery jealousy; and since even the covert attack of a formidable few can establish nothing, which, in the least measure, can justly lessen his well-acquired and honorable popularity; what avail the late synonomous and miserable expedients to violate his fame? What triumph have the libels, so plenteously disgorged, obtained in the eyes of the generous and independent part of the community, whose object was not less weak than flagitious? What has it profited those traders in scandal, and retailers of unrighteousness, whether the poison was prepared by "Sporus at Court," or vendied by "Jepher from a gaol?" His political character is estimated by his public conduct; which, being founded on sound and virtuous principles, can safely challenge the most scrupulous investigation. Conscious uprightness, unswervingly directed to the public good, will induce him, even in despite of his foes, to direct his attention to their future happiness, and to the glory of his country. I am sensible, that in thus offering an humble tribute to a meritorious absent citizen (whose enemies are happy in the choice of their time, as well as their weapons) I am but an echo of that general approbation, which his professional and political conduct never fail to receive. Had he been present, I should have been silent; and he would have pitied and despised.
One word more with thee, Inspector, which shall close my correspondence with thyself and adherents for ever.
Are you not ashamed of the application which you maliciously intended, when you hit on the far-fetched Latin distich, that concludes your amiable performance? Would you purchase a trifling degree of praise for the ingenuity of your head, while you discover the native inhumanity of your heart?—Inspector!—Inspector!—review thy conduct—inspect thy own heart; and then acknowledge, whether thou "hast not done those things which thou oughtest not to have done." "True," methinks I hear you (with fearless face) reply; "but I comfort myself with a scrap of arch Latin—as thus, Nemo sine crimine vivit." Bravo!—but why exult? Alter the construction, my funny fellow, and try if you can give it a personal nominative;—then apply it—and then to breakfast with what appetite you may.
