Illustrations of Prophecy: In which are elucidated many predictions, which occur in Isaiah, Daniel, the writings of the Evan- gelists, and book of Revelation; which are tho't to foretell among other great events, a revolution in France, favorable to the interests of mankind, the overthrow of the papal power and of ecclesi- astical tyranny, the downfall of civil despotism, and the subsequent melioration of the state of the world: together with A large collection of Extracts, Interpersed through the work, and taken from numerous commentators, particularly from Joseph Mede, Sir Isaac Newton, Mr. William Lowth, Vitinga, Dr. Henry Moore, Fleming, Dr. Th. Goodwin, Bengelius, Dr. John Owen, Danhub, Dr. Greifenauer, Whitby, Peter Jurieu, Lowman, Brennus, Bishop Newton, and Bishop Chandler. Bishop Hurst. By JOSEPH LOMAS TOWERS.
Besides various other inquiries treated of in this work, and numerous illustrations of prophecy; it contains a considerable number of facts or ob- servations on the symbolic language of prophecy, the authenticity, uses, and obscurity of the ap- calypse, and the genuineness of the Hebrew pro- phets; on the rapid corruption of christianity in the fourth century; on the dispersion and restora- tion of the Jews; on the history of the false Messias who have appeared among them, and the reasons in support of the conjecture that the Afghans are the descendants of the ten tribes; on the right of resistance to oppression; on the corruptions of the northern nations, and the causes of the decline and fall of the Roman empire; on the customs of the Tartars, and the independence of the Arabs; on the conquests of those nations, and those of the Turks; on the usurpation of the Mamalukes, and the past history and present state of Egypt; on the character and conduct of Constantine, Justin- ian, Clovis, and Lewis XIV; on the scarcity of books in the dark ages, and the causes of the de- cline of literature; on the rapid rise of the French monarchy, and the causes of its fall; on the in- consistency in the political character of Charles V, and the causes of his decline; on the beneficial effects which christianity has had on the state of learning and civil liberty, and its tendency to pro- mote the establishment of equal governments. Independent of the large proportion of original matter contained in these volumes, those who are interested in the subject will, it is presumed, with to peruse or consult them, because the extracts in- troduced in them, which are accurately cited, and marked with inverted commas, are taken from a greater number of writers on the prophecies (as least if the roman catholic commentators be ex- cluded) than are easily accessible to any one indi- vidual even in Europe, or are probably to be found in any one library in the world. They are fur- nished with indexes, and a copious table of con- tents. Jan. 22—3m2w

Salisbury Estate. THE Subscriber, proposing to contract his busi- ness, offers this Estate for sale, on moderate terms. On it are one Blast and three Air Furnaces, a complete Boring Machine, and a very good grist Mill, with two pair of stones; also a good Forge, all in perfect repair, as are all the Water Works connected with these various branches. The Air Furnaces were lately built for the purpose of casting Cannon for this State. There are about two thousand acres of Land, one half of which is under wood, the other very fine arable Land, producing the best Hay and Pasture. The Cannon lately manufactured there- fully proves the excellence of the metal, which is superior to any in this country, and probably, equal to any in the world; for not one of sixty-nine guns lately made, although some of the 24 were bored into 32 pounders, have failed on proving. The situa- tion is very eligible, particularly for this branch of manufacture, and a place of arms lying in the State of Connecticut, and only 20 miles from several land- ings on the Hudson's river, and having every advan- tage that can result from a plenty of water issuing from a large natural pond, very near the Furnace, and which may be converted into a variety of other useful purposes. The purchaser can be accommo- dated with all the block and utensils, and have possession on or before the first of June next, and preparation may be made in the meantime for going into Blast im- mediately thereafter, for every part will be delivered terms, apply to the Proprietor, or to the Proprietor in New-York; David Brooks, Esq. one of the Representatives in Congress for this State; Mr. David Waterman, on the premises, or to the Proprietor in New-York.

His arrangement is such, that an interference of the the different sexes will be avoided. Those Ladies and Gentlemen who cannot make it convenient to attend at his school, he will wait upon at their houses. Applications will be thankfully receiv- ed at his house, where his terms and further partic- ulars may be known. Dec. 7. *twed

War-Office of the United States, January the 1st, 1798. WHEREAS frauds have been practiced, in obtaining Warrants for Bounty Lands, due to the Officers and Soldiers of the late Continental Army, by the production of forged instruments. To check in future such impositions, it has been thought advisable; that all persons, having claims for bounty lands, whether in their own right, as legal representative, or by virtue of any instrument or deed of transfer, be required to forward their respective claims to the War Office, on or before the first day of January 1799 in order that such claims may be duly examined, adjusted and determined upon. To substantiate such claims, a strict observance of the rules heretofore issued from the War Office will be indispensable; and in addition to what is required by the said rules, the certificate of the acknow- ledgement of a Deed or Power of Attorney, must also set forth the place of residence and occupation of the claimant or person making such acknowledg- ment; and when the proof of personal knowledge is by a witness or witnesses, their place or places of residence must be set forth in like manner.

Boston Glass Manufactory.
THE citizens of the United States are hereby informed, that the manufacture of Window Glass is now commenced at the Glass House in Boston.

It will be cut to any size commonly used; and may be constantly had by applying to CHARLES F. KUFFER, at the Glass House.
Orders from the distant towns to be addressed to Mr. SAMUEL GORE, Court-Street, Boston.
Two or three good Glass makers are wanted at the above works; such as can produce recommendations for good behavior, may be sure of employment, by application to Mr. GEORGE L. LIND, at the works. Men without families will be preferred. However unacquainted with the method of making Crown Window Glass, they will meet with the same encouragement. Boston, Jan. 16 24-22W6W

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Debate on Foreign Intercourse.
[Continued from yesterday's Gazette.]
The following Speech of Mr. BAYARD, delivered on Monday the 22d inst. is taken from a more correct note than the one published in our Paper of Thursday last.
Mr. BAYARD said, that the subject of the present debate had been so much exhausted by the discussion it had undergone, that it would be difficult to touch any of the points of controversy without repeating something of the remarks of other gentlemen. If, however, he should offend in this respect, he should expect at least the charity of those who were guilty of the same transgression. He thought it necessary in the first place to take notice of the declaration of the gentleman from Virginia, the parent of the amendment, that he did not design that the measure he proposed, should have an immediate effect upon our establishment of foreign ministers, but intended only to introduce a principle which should have a future operation at a convenient time. If the gentleman were sincere in that declaration, it must necessarily follow, that he did not comprehend the effect of his own amendment. For it would be remembered that the bill by its own limitation was to continue in force but two years, and if the gentleman's object were so distant as he expressed, it could certainly with no propriety find place in a law so short in its duration as the present. It had been said that the third section of the bill would admit of amendment so as to make provision for the ministers already appointed; the committee would observe that the third section was merely a general appropriation of a gross sum, and that the first section, to which the amendment was proposed, was the one which preferred the manner in which the money should be applied. If the present section according to the amendment it should be fixed that the salaries of ministers plenipotentiary should be allowed only to our ministers at Paris and London, it would be immaterial what sum was appropriated in the third section, as there would be no power in the Executive to pay the salaries of ministers plenipotentiary to our ministers at Lisbon Madrid or Berlin even for the current year. He apprehended that the gentleman from Virginia had been led to his declaration on this head from being pressed with the objection, that if this house acted as he proposed they would in effect revoke existing commissions which had been granted by the President.
Some gentlemen affected to consider the constitutional right of this house to interfere in the present case as not questionable. A gentleman from Pennsylvania had stated a strong case in order to prove the necessity of the power belonging to this house. Suppose he said, the President were to appoint one hundred foreign ministers, would this house be bound to appropriate for their support, now the fallacy of this argument of power in the executive, which the constitution does not suppose, but on the contrary, presumes that the first magistrate will execute his trust with fidelity. But let us consider the case in an opposite point of view. Let it be imagined that this country has a misunderstanding with some foreign power, and that the agency of a minister is indispensable to terminate the difference without hostility; to this end, suppose a minister appointed by the Executive, and the house refuse to appropriate for his support. In this case it is plain the power of appointing a minister is taken from the Executive by this house, though expressly given to it by the constitution. The supposition of an abuse of power if admitted as an argument and carried to its extent, goes to the destruction of all power; because there is not and cannot be a power lodged any where, which is not capable of abuse. We might as well suppose the case that the President should appoint a chimney sweeper chief justice of the supreme court, and then ask whether this house would be bound blindly to appropriate for his salary. The constitution has trusted the President as well as it has trusted this house: the people confide in his discretion as well as in that of the house; and it is no better argument to justify our usurping executive authority that the President may abuse it, than it would be in favour of his assuming legislative power, because it might be abused by this body.
The appointment and employment of foreign agents, from the very nature of our government belongs to the Executive. This house has no foreign relations, its only connections are the people on one hand the different branches of government on the other, the constitution has not given to it organs to discern the cases in which foreign agency is necessary. It has charged the Executive with the care of the nation in respect to the transactions of foreign powers. The President is responsible for the safety of the country; if he should neglect to give us notice of our danger from the designs and preparations of foreign powers, he would be answerable for the neglect. But on this house no such responsibility rests; and shall the house take from him the means of gaining information, and then hold him chargeable for the want of it.
But without deciding the point, how far it is competent for the house, on constitutional principles to interfere in the case, there can be no difficulty in saying, it would not be expedient for them to do so, at this time. Ambassadors have been listed by some grave writers, honorable spies, placed near a foreign government to watch its operations, and to communicate to their own government the earliest information of any proceedings which threaten the peace or safety of their country. If at any period of time these spies were necessary, the present state of Europe rendered their employment indispensable. Surely, when every principle of ancient order is overthrown, when the rules which
nations and individuals were governed by are no longer regarded, when a system of the most wicked and flagitious policy is introduced, when principle and right no longer set bounds to power, and independent nations are disposed of by right of the sword, it behoves this government to search with more than common vigilance and industry into the designs of the European powers. Do we know at this moment, but these states are the subject of foreign negotiations; that the sword is to cut us into pieces, and that we are to be distributed as make weights in the scales of compensation? He trusted, therefore, it would be generally thought that this was not the time to talk of recalling our ministers from abroad. The government needs, the safety of the nation requires, the best and speediest communication of the schemes of European policy.
But some gentlemen are of opinion that it would be for the interest of the country to withdraw all our foreign ministers from Europe, and dissolve the diplomatic connection which at present exists; they conceive we have nothing to do with the politics of Europe, which expose us to embarrassments without promising any advantage. He said he might possibly agree with those gentlemen if their object could be accomplished with the facility they imagined. It might be an easy thing for the United States to resolve to have no intercourse with Europe, but can they determine that the governments of Europe shall have no views upon them? We may avoid sending public ministers or private agents to Europe, but can we prevent Europe from sending them here? We may have no interest in interfering in European politics, but have they no interest to interfere in ours: there is no danger from the views of this country upon Europe, nor from our sending ministers or agents there, but the danger to be apprehended is from the designs of Europe upon America, and the evils we have felt, have arisen from the intrigues of foreign agents, not invited, but imposed upon the country. It is idle to talk about dissolving all connection with Europe; while the ocean is passable there must be a connection. He should leave it to the vain declamation of theorists to deprecate the consequences of this intercourse; but he should insist, that nothing was left to us, but to regulate it in such a manner, as to avoid its dangers, and secure its benefits: to this purpose he apprehended the employment of ministers abroad was essentially necessary.
But it has been urged that the danger of executive patronage should induce us to restrain the power of appointing ministers. This point had been ably handled by other gentlemen, but in addition he would remark that in his opinion that so far was the exercise of the power of conferring offices in this country from multiplying the friends of the President, that he conceived it increased the number of his enemies. That in gratifying one with an appointment, he disgusted twenty with a refusal.
Gentlemen have talked much about checks. He believed what they said upon this subject was sincere. He believed they were disposed to check the power of the executive, until they stopped the wheels of government. And when he is managed and at the mercy of the party their views will be accomplished, and they will be satisfied. For his part, he thought the executive the infirm part of the government, and that if the constitution was in danger, it was from its weakness. It is not a constitutional idea, that this house is to check the President, but on the contrary, the President is placed as a check upon the legislature. The reason is plain. The authority of the President is defined. Its prerogatives are all specified. The executive walk are clearly marked out. It is thus the constitution effectually checks him. And he cannot transgress the limits of his authority, without its being palpable to the eyes of the world. The legislative power was of a different nature, its field was infinitely larger, and the bounds of it not discernible with the same precision. It was necessary, therefore, to preserve the executive, that its powers should in some degree, be checked by his. The gentleman seemed to imagine, that no disposition to usurp power could exist in any branch of the government, but the executive. Gentlemen consulted very little the esprit du corps and the spirit of ambition ever found in popular bodies, in making their conclusion. He affirmed it was in the nature of a body like that house to be more ambitious of an enlargement of its power, than an executive defined like that of ours. The breath of that house could cast down a President at any moment, and should he trench upon the legitimate power of the house, his ruin would be inevitable. But what can the President do, if we encroach upon his authority? If the house were determined he must submit with the indulgence possibly of a feeble remonstrance. It was felt as a truth that even a minority of this house can shake the very foundations of executive power. He was firmly persuaded that the danger which threatened the constitution, was not from the President but from that house.
Gentlemen had compared the patronage of this executive to the patronage of the crown of Great-Britain; they might as well compare the strength of Calvin Phillips, to that of the British crown. In this country how far did patronage extend? We had an army dispersed over the United States of 3 or 4000 men: a navy of three frigates; a number of collectors and supervisors, whose salaries were sufficient to give them bread. How was the case in England. An immense army; a prodigious navy; wealthy establishments in the church; innumerable posts of honor and profit in the law; an unlimited power of creating nobility, and of conferring titles and rank; and, in addition, an allowance for a civil list of near a million ster. a year. Can any rational comparison be made between an influence flowing from these sources of power, and the patronage of our executive.
An executive whose pecuniary allowance is perhaps sufficient to furnish his bread and table. But notwithstanding the immense patronage of the English government, it represented were introduced into the popular branch, the monarchy would not long exist, because it would not be able to resist the weight and power of the commons.
Gentlemen say the power of appointment is to be cut down, because men of certain opinions are excluded from office. They know our principles upon this point as saying, we have no chance of appointments, we will therefore not suffer the President to appoint any body else. The gentleman from Georgia had expressed great surprise at hearing this defended as a principle of the executive. But he asked whether the principle was not supported by the best authority in the country. Is it not the principle upon which the people, the sovereign people themselves act? Do they ever choose representatives of political sentiments different from their own? None would say they did. None could deny this to be their principle. If he or the gentleman opposite to him held different political tenets, it is not probable that either of them would have appeared in their present places. Now for gentleman who say they adore the voice of the people, to reprobate so indecently a principle universally adopted by them, did not appear to him either consistent with other professions or respectful to the people themselves. The President must therefore be justified in following an example set by the people, whose will has created him, and ought therefore to direct him. If he has ever deviated from this principle, the consequences have convinced him of his error. And he hoped that, profiting by his experience, a similar conduct would be avoided in future.
