To the Federalists of the City and County of Philadelphia and County of Delaware. It appears from the reports of the two committees of the Senate, appointed for the purpose of determining on the validity of the election of Israel Israel, that they have decided he was not duly elected a member of that body. This decision was not made until after a long and attentive examination of the merits of the case, and a long and patient hearing of the counsel for the sitting member. The characters of those who compose the committee place them above the suspicion of being influenced, by any considerations inconsistent with the most undeviating rectitude, and although the contrary idea has already been circulated in the Aurora, yet we are all too well acquainted with the character and conduct of Mr. Bache to be in the least degree biased by his publications.
It is a true observation, but it is one which can never be too often repeated, that the exercise of the right of suffrage is the most important duty of a citizen. If ever there was a crisis which rendered an attention to this duty indispensably necessary it is the present. While a perfidious foreign foe menaces our peace and independence and an inveterate faction at home threatens us with all the horrors of intestine discord, the truly patriotic heart is indeed filled with apprehension and alarm: but this alarm ought not to grow into terror, it ought to call forth the exertions but not stupify and paralyze the faculties of the mind. The faction of which I speak, has always been remarkable for its activity, enterprize and union; of late it has been uncommonly so. Mr. Bache himself when congratulating his party on their success at the last election publicly attributes it more to the union of their efforts than to the superiority of their strength. Let us be equally united and we cannot fail to be successful. It is to be observed that the candidate who shall be elected will have nearly four years to serve; that it is but too probable before the expiration of that period, notwithstanding the earnest endeavours and ardent wishes of our government, we shall be involved in a foreign war, and that therefore whatever may have been the opinions of any of us respecting the origin of our difficulties with France, there can be but one opinion as to the union and vigor with which the war should be carried on. By placing men in office who are by their own acknowledgments hostile to the measures of our administration, if not to the existence of our constitution, this end can never be obtained. Without entering into the merits of the private character of Mr. Israel, it must be obvious to all that the respectability of the people represented must always in a great degree depend upon the respectability of their representative. This man certainly is not qualified by his education, or by political reflection, for a legislator; and the part which he can take in our public deliberations must necessarily be a very confined one. Opposed to him is a man who for several years has been engaged in public life, whose mind is stored with useful information, and highly embellished by literature; whose moral character not even his enemies have dared to impeach, and for dismissing whom from our public councils no other reason has ever been given than his attachment to our constitution and laws.
It may be proper here likewise to hint that the issue of the next election will be considered in some measure, as an expression of the sentiments of the people; and that at this time such an expression is of the utmost importance. It is not merely the li-
ment vote of one man that is to be attended to. The politics of the representative of the metropolis of the United States have a weight to which those of the representative of no other district are entitled; and the election of Mr. Israel will give occasion to a new triumph to his party; will be viewed as a new proof of divisions, and will therefore be a new invitation to our enemies to imprison and thumb-screw our sailors; to plunder our merchants, already reduced almost to bankruptcy by their piracies; again to insult our government, and therefore once more to degrade, in the eyes of all mankind, the name of America.
Already are his party at work: no exertions on their part will be spared, and it is only by your most vigorous efforts that their hopes can be prostrated.

Extract from the charge of Judge Stephens, to the Grand Jury of Wilkes County, Georgia, Nov. 1797.
"In effecting changes of government, or amending the existing system, we have no need, but to consult, primarily, our own happiness, by having the vast advantages of calmly looking into the forms of constitutions, that our sister states live under, and with that, of the Union; there can be but little doubt, but every blessing may be expected, without the aid of foreign plans or influence, that carry with them intrigues, false and destructive philosophy, painting atheism in their schemes, and shaking the moral government of the world."
Extract from the Presentment of the above Grand Jury.
"We present as a grievance of the most alarming nature, the importation of negroes into this State, whether by land or sea, for the purpose of exposing them to sale, inasmuch as we conceive it to be greatly injurious to the welfare thereof, and highly repugnant to the principles of a free government, and do earnestly recommend it to the next legislature to prohibit the same."
From the COLUMBIAN CENTINEL. MR. RUSSELL,
Being a speaker, yesterday, of the awful scene of the destruction of the Theatre in Federal Street, which threatened great destruction to other property, but which was prevented by the usual exertions of the citizens of this town—I am fully of opinion, that many of the citizens of Boston must be apprised of the fatal consequences that would arise, in case the Hay Market Theatre, should take fire, from the same accident. The largeness of this wooden building, would spread a most terrible conflagration through the South part of Boston, being so near to a number of other wooden buildings, which must inevitably fall a sacrifice. Being also fully convinced, that the public exhibitions there displayed have a tendency to corrupt the morals of youth, and lead them into temptations which may injure their reputation. From the most disinterested motives, and for the good of my country, and the safety of this town, I will contribute three hundred and forty dollars, towards the demolishing of the Hay Market Theatre, if the Legislature of this Commonwealth will wisely direct the same, and enact a law to prevent the building of any theatres, for the like future exhibitions, in this Commonwealth.
A Speaker from the country, who leaves his name with the Printer.
An original proprietor of the Haymarket theatre, from disinterested and independent motives, but more especially out of regard to the good and safety of the citizens of this town, is willing to relinquish his right therein, on condition that the other proprietors will follow his example, and that the legislature of this Commonwealth will direct the same to be demolished, and enact a law prohibiting any other theatre to be erected in future in this Commonwealth—as this town yesterday experienced a most threatening conflagration, which it is hoped the good citizens of Boston will receive as a serious admonition, to encourage the above design.
Any person wishing to know the proprietor's name, may inquire of the printer.
From the Salem Gazette. MR. CUSHING,
The question of arming our merchant vessels, however it may be obscured by metaphysical disquisitions, is one of the simplest that can be stated. If a man, travelling on the high road, has a right to take a club in his hand, from an apprehension that he may be assaulted by robbers, on the same principle he has a right to put guns on board his vessel to traverse the high seas. If the former with his club should violate the laws of his country, or the latter with his guns infract the laws of nations, each is amenable for his conduct to those laws, and to be punished accordingly. Whatever may be the consequences, if the principle is right—if nature herself, which dictates it, is right—I hope it will be acted upon. It is a principle which in its operation is directed against all nations, so far as they are disposed to be aggressors, and so far I wish they may feel its effects.
Whatever is right, is prudent; and in my opinion the arming of our vessels would be further prudent, because every defensive measure would tend to prevent that dreadful calamity, a war; as every nation will be feared, and its friendship desired in proportion to its strength.
Every thing has its small beginnings. A few armed vessels might indeed excite the contempt of those great powers, whose thunder makes the ocean tremble; but history affords a thousand instances, and our own country is one of them, of small powers rising to unexpected strength, formidable, and eventual triumph.
It is to be hoped that our government will never adopt, the half-way, dastardly measure of an embargo, which I see recommended in the Boston papers. An embargo is at best a despotic act; it is tying the hands of industry, or turning them against the property of others. We have a right to the ocean, the great highway of all nations; and when it is infested with robbers, may we have the prudence to travel with weapons of defence; and if attacked, may we have the spirit to use them.
AN AMERICAN. CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FRIDAY—FEBRUARY 9.
The House having resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, on the Report of the Committee of Privileges, Mr. DENT in the Chair,
Mr. SHEPARD said, the member from Vermont had been guilty of an indecency for which he ought to be expelled from his seat. The offence was such as would not be suffered in any civil company. It was an offence without provocation; for the first offence was committed by him on the member from Connecticut, in saying that the members from that State sought their own interest, at the expense of the public good. He was surprised that any Gentleman would defend such a man. But the offence was attempted to be mitigated, by saying that the house was not in session. He believed the House was as much in session as it ever was, as one half of the members were at least in their seats; and the offence being committed within the walls of the House, the member ought certainly to be expelled. If the house would not expel a member for an offence so gross, what would the world say of them? They would be called beasts, and not Gentlemen. But it was said the constituents of the member from Vermont would be injured by the member's expulsion; so far from it, he doubted not nineteen twentieths of the people of his district would say he was deserving of expulsion. Was a man, who could be guilty of such behaviour as is complained of, fit for a Legislator? Certainly not; no well-bred, well-disposed man could keep company with him. The Gentleman himself acknowledged that it was his common practice to scourge every one who offended him. It was not necessary therefore, to send to Vermont to enquire his character there. For his own part, he could not consent to sit with him. If he must be a Legislator, it should be in a part of the world where all decisions were made by Spitting and Scratching. He was sure no gentleman, or modest man, could plead in behalf of such a man. He hoped, therefore the member from Vermont would be expelled without spending much time upon the business; he was sure this ought to be done if they had any regard to their own dignity or the dignity of the country.
Mr. NICHOLAS was always desirous of the approbation of the gentleman just sat down, because he believed he always acted from the best motives. He hoped that Gentleman would also allow that others might act from principle, as well as himself. He could not refrain, however, from doing what he conceived to be his duty, whatever might be the motives which gentlemen chose to attribute to his conduct. But whatever his opinion might be of the measures proposed to be taken in consequence of the offence under consideration, with respect to the offence itself, he condemned it as much as any other Gentleman, as indecent and improper.
Mr. N. felt it necessary to make some observations on this subject, because the report of the committee of Privileges does not state facts as they are; he supposed it had been composed hastily, as it certainly does not correspond with the impression which the evidence makes. The Gentleman who introduced the resolution, like a good lawyer, has made the case broad enough to support it. He has evidently given way to the impression of the moment, as the evidence certainly does not support the allegations therein contained. [Mr. N. read the resolution.] He said he could not agree to this resolution, because he denied that the house was sitting, or that the offence was done in the view of the House. He should make some observations on the testimony, and shew wherein it differed from the report of the committee. He needed no witness to prove the state of the house at the time, this transaction took place—it was fully in recollection of every Gentleman. Not one of them (except the two members appointed to count the ballots) was attending public business, & very few indeed who were not out of order. The area of the house was full of squads, carrying on conversation without restraint. One article of testimony was strong as to this fact. The attention of the Gentleman from Maryland (Mr. S. Smith) was drawn the conversation holding round the fire behind him, by a loud laugh. There could be no doubt, therefore, that the House was not engaged in business, was not in order, was not in a situation to be disturbed by any transaction of this kind. Indeed, he did not understand, from what had fallen from the Gentleman from S. Carolina, that he thought it was. The argument was, that the Speaker having once taken the Chair, called the house in order, and the Journals having been read, the rules of the house knew of no mode by which it could be disorganized, without an adjournment.
Suppose this position was true, what results? Why, that it was their business to have been in order, and not that they were so; for, whilst the Speaker was out of his chair, whilst the members were out of their places, and violating the rules of order, no one could say that the house was in session, or that it could claim respect from others as a legislative body. Was it possible, therefore, for men, who were not doing what the rules of the house required them to do, to call upon other members to keep the rules inviolate? But, Mr. N. said, he did not admit the principle, that the business of the house can never be suspended, until an actual adjournment takes place. At the time when this transaction happened, the house had authorized two of its members to do a business which actually prevented the ordinary business of the house from going on. For, he asked, if a motion could have been
made whilst these members were counting the ballots? Upon another occasion, after the ballots were collected, a motion was made to adjourn, but it was declared to be out of order. The Speaker gave no reason for this opinion; but it was obviously because tellers were employed to count the votes, and had not yet made their report; and would gentlemen say that another motion would have been better received, or have been acted upon so as to have prevented these gentlemen from doing their business? Certainly not. There could not, then, have been a motion made. What, then, was the state of the house? Were members obliged to keep their seats, though they could not be called upon to do any business? They could not be considered as inspectors of the conduct of gentlemen appointed to count the ballots, their distance prevented them from having any such cognizance.—Here was a situation, then, when the members of the house were discharged from any duty for two hours, and during this period, the transaction which is now the subject of enquiry, took place. Members might have gone where they pleased; all that was required of them was, to be ready to receive the report when the Tellers were ready to make it. Suppose a great part of the members had left the house, and when they returned, had been told of this quarrel.—It must have been said, your rules confound the house as in session, though you were absent, and the quarrel having happened, it must be rated, as happening in the view of the house whilst sitting. How, said he, must the resolution be formed, so as to declare the fact in such a case? It must be, "Resolved, that M. Lyon, for a gross indecency and insult committed, &c. at the time when the rules say the house ought to have been sitting, but when, in fact, the house was not in order, nor the members in the house, &c. And was it not a strong presumption against this resolution, when recourse must be had to such an extraordinary form to make it consistent? Or could gentlemen say when the resolution before the committee went abroad that the house was in actual session at the time? They could not. He recollected one circumstance which peculiarly marked the situation of the house. Near the time when the offence now under consideration was committed, one of the Senators was seated in his chair writing a letter. He did not himself think the house in session at the time, and should have thought himself as much at liberty as if the house had not been called to order at all. In order to justify the resolution before the committee, the fiction of the Rules had been set up against fact. Mr. N. said he should not notice the offence at all as done out of the house, because the resolution confuses the act as an offence against the house whilst sitting. He did not say this, because he was afraid of meeting the subject on that ground, but because it was foreign to the present question.
The gentleman from S. Carolina yesterday made some observations on this subject. He told the committee, and they had been told the same before, that the situation in which the house was at the time this affair happened, was the same as when the Speaker leaves the chair during the reading of long communications. Could any one imagine on himself so as to believe this? Was it not the duty of members to attend to the reading of all papers presented to them? Whereas they were not obliged to attend to members employed in counting ballots.—Since gentlemen deemed this so clear a case, it was astonishing, he said, that they should rely upon so poor an argument as this.
To constitute the crime of which the member from Vermont stood charged, it should clearly appear that the act was done with an intention to break the rules of the house. But, if gentlemen were not satisfied with his statements to prove the house was not in order at the time, they must certainly allow that there was sufficient reason, from a view of the situation of things at the time to impose upon a member unacquainted with the rules of the house. The member from Vermont had but lately got his seat in the house, and of course was not well acquainted with its rules; and seeing the members of the house in the situation they were in, the Speaker himself holding a conversation with him; and, though not encouraging him in it, yet by asking questions, pushing him farther into it than he otherwise would probably have gone—the Speaker calling upon him and another gentleman in conversation to take care, or they would want seconds." When this was the situation of things, might it not have been imposed upon any member in the house? Could it be considered that the Speaker thought the rules of the house were likely to be violated, when he thus spoke? Mr. N. did not pretend to say that this conduct of the speaker was not conformable to the rules of the house; but he believed it was intended as a private admonition, and not as an order of the Speaker of the House.
In taking notice of the circumstance under which this business happened, he did not mean to justify, or apologize for the conversation of the member from Vermont. He did not consider it as either decent or justifiable? but he thought there was a justification arising out of the passions of this gentleman, which could not be lost sight of. Before he went to this circumstance, Mr. N. said he would state that the report of the committee of privileges did not agree with the facts as they had been stated to the committee of the whole. It stated in that report that the Speaker was sitting on one of the member's seats, and Mr. Griswold near him, that Mr. Lyon was standing without the bar of the house, speaking loud enough to be heard, and that the subject was the state of Connecticut. It was of importance that this statement should be correct, as it would appear as the act of the house. By it, it would appear that though the conversation of Mr. Lyon respecting Connecticut was not addressed to Mr. Griswold, the thing was tantamount, as he was present. The committee of the whole would recollect that this

was not the case. It was established in proof that the conversation had continued for some time between the Speaker and Mr. Lyon before Mr. Griswold was present; and none of the other Connecticut members were near enough to be considered as the objects of it. He would go further and say, that it was not in proof what part of the conversation of Mr. Lyon, Mr. Griswold heard. The most offensive part of the discourse was the beginning of it, which it was pretty evident Mr. Griswold did not hear. Mr. Lyon began by saying that the members from Connecticut were seeking to escape the expense of the public good; but not one of the witnesses could say that Mr. Griswold heard this (one of them indeed thought so, but was not certain. There was strong presumptive evidence, that Mr. G. was not within hearing of this conversation, as none of the three different observations which he made to Mr. Lyon referred to the most offensive part of it.
When Mr. G. asked Mr. Lyon "if he fought the people of Connecticut with a wooden sword," it referred to that part of his conversation when he said he had to fight the people of Connecticut when they came into his district. When Mr. G. said, "you could not convince the meanest hostler," it evidently applied to that part where he said, if he were to go into the state of Connecticut, he could change the sentiments of the people; and when he added, "you could not effect your purpose, if you took with you your wooden sword," it had relation to the same part of Mr. Lyon's conversation. Though it must be allowed, this conversation was arrogant on the part of the member from Vermont, yet no evidence went to show that Mr. G. heard the most offensive part of it, as it was clear no part of what he said had reference to it; and if he did hear it, there was still less probability that Mr. L. knew that he was within hearing.
Mr. N. said, he would consider the effect which Mr. Griswold's attack was likely to produce upon Mr. Lyon. It appeared that for some purpose or other, which he pretended not to know, Mr. Lyon's history was to be raked up for twenty years past. A transaction which at that distance of time took place, had been introduced with a view of sinking him in public estimation. The first time this painful circumstance was introduced to Mr. Lyon, he refused to take notice of it; but the gentleman from Connecticut laid hold of him which was tantamount to saying you shall listen to what I have to say, and repeated the sarcasm.
Mr. N. said he did not know, because he hated questions of privileges, and thought they ought always to be avoided, except pressed by necessity, from their incompetency to decide upon them, what ought to have been the conduct of the gentleman from Vermont on this occasion. But let gentlemen throw this member to what distance they please from them, they must allow him to possess some feelings in common with themselves. They could not suppose he would be willing to resign a character and standing, which had been obtained at the price of long service. And though gentlemen may consider themselves as vastly more enlightened and respectable than the member from Vermont, they cannot expect he is devoid of every principle of self-love. Could any gentleman have foreborne to take notice of an insult of the kind which was offered him? It is impossible. He did not pretend to say, that the particular act with which the gentleman from Vermont resented the affront was the most proper; he did not know what would have been proper. He did not know in what way such an insult should have been treated.
Gentlemen would probably say he ought to have foreborne noticing the sarcasm. But did not gentlemen know that there was a circumstance in this member's situation which rendered it a peculiar one? If he had had recourse to the ordinary mode of settling differences, would it not have been said to him, "No; you have been cashiered—you are infamous, I will not meet you as a gentleman." In what way, then, could this member have shown to the world, that if he had once failed in his duty, he was ready now to show that he was no coward, and that he had been injured and abused in the former transaction. He asked, whether being placed in such a situation, there was not some apology to be made for acting in the manner he did? Nor did Mr. N. think the mode which Mr. Griswold had taken to repel any thing which the gentleman from Vermont had said against the representatives from Connecticut was the best calculated for the purpose.
If then, there was an extenuation of the conduct of Mr. Lyon, either from the situation of the house at the time, from his being inexperienced with respect to the rules of the house, or from his peculiar situation, as to the stigma which had been revived upon his character with respect to his courage, he did not think it was a case which called for the severest punishment which could be inflicted. If the highest punishment were to be inflicted in this case, what would gentlemen do, where a man should render himself infamous, when a man should be found so defective of moral principle as to be wholly unfit to hold his situation? To a consistent, he thought they should allow of some grade, in the nature of offences.
Mr. N. Concluded by noticing an observation from gentlemen advocating the motion, cautioning gentlemen against being influenced by a spirit of party in the present decision; he thought such observations would be best omitted as they would operate equally on both sides.

NORFOLK, February 3. On Thursday arrived in Hampton Roads the snow William, Capt. Wells, 43 days from Lisbon bound to Baltimore. From Mr. Brandam (a gentleman who came passenger in the above vessel) we have information that he read in a London paper of the 27th or 28th of November, an account of the arrival in London of one of the American Commissioners from Paris, but which he does not recollect. He further informs, that he had it from the best authority that Lord St. Vincent, with his fleet and the whole of the British troops were to evacuate Lisbon in the course of a few weeks. The queen of Portugal had forwarded 80 pounds weight of diamonds to Paris in part payment of the sum stipulated for in the treaty made between her and France.
February 6. At a late hour last night, Capt. Colley, of the ship Flora, arrived in town from Hampton Roads, where his ship now lies, after a passage of 44 days from Guernsey. Capt. Colley politely handed us London papers of the 11th, 15th and 19th December; he gave a few to some of the officers of the British ships of war, lying in the Roads. From those we received we hasten to give the following crude summary of
LATE EUROPEAN NEWS. That Generals Buonaparte and Joubert had arrived on the 6th of December at Paris; that a great part of the army of Italy had returned into France—that a new conspiracy has taken place in Paris, and that a number of the conspirators were committed to the Temple; that the Pope refuses to acknowledge the independence of the Cisalpine Republic, in consequence of which ten thousand republicans are marching towards Rimini, to support the demand of the Cisalpine ambassador; that every exertion is making in France to organize the army which is to act against England. It is also said at Paris, that the Pope has entered into a secret treaty with the Emperor of Russia; that the King of Prussia is dead; and that in consequence of the ratification of the treaty between Portugal and France, the English troops at Lisbon are reduced to extreme want; Earl St. Vincent still continues off the harbor of Lisbon.
Stocks experience but little variation—on the 12th Dec. Consols were at 49 1-2. On the 14th December, Messrs. Fox Sheridan and other members of the opposition, attended in their places, in the house of Commons; their attendance was occasioned by the general alarm which Mr. Pitt's new financial bill has caused in all parts. The debates, although very lengthy, shall be given as soon as possible.
Of our Commissioners we have no other account than what was received by a vessel from Havre, which had put into Guernsey in distress, prior to Capt. Colley's sailing, which informed, that there were three Commissioners appointed on the part of the French republic, to treat with ours; and that the general opinion was that matters would be amicably adjusted.

NEW-YORK, February 10. The following gentlemen have been elected Directors of the United States Branch Bank of this city, for the ensuing year— Cornelius Ray, Thomas Buchanan, Gerard Bancker, William Laight, Nicholas Low, Matthew Clarkson, Robert Lenox, John Murray, John Atkinson, Gabriel Ludlow, Philip Livingston, William Minton, John I. Glover.
From the Commercial Advertiser. Mr. Editor, Since the establishment of the United Insurance Company, in this city, they have sustained the following losses, viz. By Spanish captures 1699 dollars. By British captures 9337 ditto By Sea Risks 111,902 ditto By French captures 173,766 ditto 503,224 dollars.
The want of a little accuracy in the preceding statement, need not prevent your giving Mr. Nicholas, whence he obtained his information, when he so falsely declared in his last speech in Congress, "That the British were the greatest aggressors!"
TRUTH. New-York, Feb. 8. N. B. When the New-York Insurance Company, and what are called, the out-door underwriters, furnish lists of their losses, it may induce the ants in the house to adhere a little more to facts. Our member, I imagine, has never applied for information similar to the above.
BOSTON, February 5. CONSUMMATE VILLAINY AND MURDER. [The following very extraordinary letter was handed us on Saturday evening for publication.]
States of America, January 1798. MADAM, I am one of those people who subsist on the spoils of the Traveller, but if the spark of humanity was entirely extinguished from my breast, you would never gain this, or any other information of a person who was very dear to you—you will of course heap curses on the villains who have deprived you of your husband. But your curses or blessings is a matter of indifference, as I am well assured that every precaution necessary is taken for our security. As my word was passed for this indulgence
these lines will find a conveyance to you; and operate for your interest hereafter. You must know madam, that it was my fortune, with two or three of my associates to fall in with a Mr. Oliver Johnson; after taking from him his cash to the amount of about 1800 dollars, we mutually agreed for our own security to dispatch the said Oliver Johnson, and informed him of our determination.
Immediately when he saw his fate determined upon he craved these two favors—viz. that we would write to his family which he said lived in Wellesley, and direct the letter to be left at the Post-Office in Walpole, (N. H.) to inform you of his fate; and his last request is that Colonel Joseph Burt, and Ezra Peirce, administer upon his estate, and wishes them to assist his distressed family.

Da Costa, in 13 days from St. Croix—who informs, that the day previous to his sailing, a gentleman arrived from Cayenne, who informed him that the Committee which had on board the banished members from France, had captured the vessel he was in from London, and four others, all for the islands; and that Pichegru, Barthelemi, and several others, were agreeing with an American captain to bring them to this country.
The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12.
MARRIED —On Saturday evening last, by the Rev. Dr. Rogers, Mr. WILLIAMSON NUTTER, of Whitehaven, Great-Britain, to Miss SARAH WALLACE of this city.
We are assured that Benjamin R. Morgan, Esq. will, if elected, accept the office of Senator, in the legislature of Pennsylvania, any reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
Mr. PEALE has constructed a stove in his Museum, which entirely consumes all the smoke of its fuel, which with very little wood keeps two rooms, that are very large, quite comfortable both day and night.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated December 12, 1797. "As to news, we are in the dark, it has been reported that Portugal had made her peace—some say it is concluded, others that it is not, and that a strong army is ordered to march against the kingdom." "The three American envoys are at Paris, and have been there some time—nothing transpires here of what they are doing."
Extract of a letter received from New England by a gentleman in this city. "Some of the patriots in Congress, I perceive, that the powers of the house of representatives ought to be so exercised, as that the executive shall be reduced to nothing. The President is to appoint foreign ministers, but the house is to provide only for ministers to such courts, and of such diplomatic grades, as they see fit. Pray, how much would the letter of the constitution be worth, if the spirit of it were to be drawn out into the house, as proposed?"
"Is it saying to the President, in respect to this undoubted branch of his constitutional authority, "Thou shalt be Viceroy over us, 'tis true, But we'll be Viceroys over you." 100 Presidents are too many for any government except Babel. Our constitution, we hope, is not to be quibbled away; let congress make laws; let the President send ministers. The general spirit of the democrats, to usurp the treaty making power, is better understood since the fermentation throughout the union, when the appropriations for the British treaty, were arrested in the house; than it was before."
Indeed, for a few years after the constitution was adopted, we took every word in congress, for true; and when a democrat, like a Joseph Surface, in the "School for Scandal" rose to defend the Treaty and War Departments, it was always with a moral sentiment in his mouth, of late, we understand this lingo, and know it to be bait for gulls. A Virginian says, "we want no foreign intercourse"; excellent this, to come from the very lips that uttered so many arguments in opposition to any measures of self defence, till we could hear from France! Then, all duty, all prudence and wisdom were relative to France, and only to France. Some men have had memories. The idea of that Virginia member, as to the danger of harmony between the three branches of our government, denotes the victorious wisdom of a Jacobin brain. According to him, the only way to prop a falling house, is to divide it. Pray Sir, is Babel represented, or is it empty, because its tenants have all turned politicians? Can it be, that Virginia finds its best disposed and most discerning men, or do they stay at home?
I wonder at the strange extravagance of some who represent them; and really believe few Northern heads are made like them. Here, we all say, the democrats endeavour to set the head of the government on the wrong end of the body politic."
Philadelphia, February 10, 1798. At a meeting of a number of citizens, at the house of Mr. Moore, the corner of Fourth and Chestnut Streets, Mr. James Ker in the chair: The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to: That, taking into consideration the patriotism and abilities of Israel Israel, as well as the manner in which the rights of his constituents have been affected by a late decision of a committee of the Senate, which has not only involved the district in a considerable expense, but much loss of time to individuals: Therefore resolved, that we will support the said Israel Israel as Senator, to be voted for the 2nd instant. Resolved, that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the different papers of this city, as well English as German. Attest—William Duncan, Sec.

LYON. A correspondent observes, it is somewhat curious that the gentlemen in Congress from the Southern States, where it is said people have keen sensibilities and correct notions of honor, should discover so little deference at Mr. Lyon's putting a stain upon the national character, which nothing can wipe away but the most rigorous proceedings against that member. It is, he hoped however, notwithstanding the apathy of some of the Southern delegates, that for the honor of the House of Representatives, and the respect which is due to the American character, more than two thirds of that body will vote for the expulsion of the Vermont member.
Have the democrats absolutely lost their senses? are they totally deprived of all reasoning powers, and reflecting faculties?—They have long assumed to themselves the sole guardianship of our liberties, the sole, and inviolable protectors of our happy constitution. Yet, now behold, in the very face of the government, are they, in spite of an express clause in the constitution, about instituting an order of Knighthood, and consequently, of titles. An order, too, which from the arms they are constantly to be girt with, is calculated to inspire dread, and to fill our whole country, with fear, and trembling apprehension. I hope that this institution will be crushed in its bud—for, if it is suffered to alume any thing like the shape, at present hinted at, what with the original founders, and the honorary members which it is supposed will be admitted, the lives and persons of our peaceful citizens, will be held in constant jeopardy. For is it possible to conceive any thing more terrible than a Knight of the Wooden Sword, in full armour?—alas, Sir A. B. Sir C. D. &c.

for would they be so foolish to supply us in the hour of distress. He reminded the house, that when the present calamitous war terminated, a contest would await this country, viz. a contest whether this country should retain its status as a commercial nation. In this contest, our intercourse with America was of the first importance. The success of France, during the present war, would probably give her great advantages in the commerce, on the return of peace; we might expect to see her the most favoured nation in Holland, in Germany, in Spain, in Italy, in all the states which border on the Mediterranean, and perhaps even in Portugal. But, in a commercial intercourse with America, every circumstance was favorable to this country; this country wished to sell manufactures and purchase raw materials; America, on the contrary, wished to sell raw materials, and purchase manufactures. Commercial intercourse must, from this circumstance, be beneficial to both countries. Even the oblique perseverance of his majesty's ministers, in fostering the intercourbe between the two countries, had not been able to prevent our commerce with America from being carried to a great extent, tho' it certainly had prevented it from being carried to that extent to which it would have attained if it had been left uninterfered, and regulated only by the mutual wants of the two countries. He remarked that fourteen years had elapsed since peace was concluded with America; yet our ministers had not been able, at that time, to fix the intercourbe with America on a permanent footing. He urged them to take advantage of the happy moment which now presented itself. America is now on bad terms with France; this then is the moment at which advances from this country, for a complete and permanent re-union of commercial intercourse, will be listened to by America. Our political interests were in union, in this respect, with our commercial interests. What country was capable of being a more useful ally to Great-Britain than the United States of America? Our possessions in the West Indies depend on America both for subsistence and protection. The same habits, the same language, the same sentiments on religious subjects— Eodem ubique majores, eadem monumenta , were circumstances which must necessarily promote both commercial and political connections. He warned the ministers not to suffer the present happy opportunity to escape them, but to come forward and fix the intercourbe between the two countries on permanent regulations. He cautioned them not to endeavour to shew their skill in the arts and chicanery of negotiation, but to establish such terms, that both Great-Britain and America might acknowledge that the intercourbe was equally beneficial to both countries.

Salisbury Estate. THE Subscriber, proposing to contract his business, 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 pairs 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 eating 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 excellency 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 situation is very eligible, particularly for this branch of manufacture, and a place of arms lying in the State of Connecticut, and only 30 miles from several landings on the Hudson's river, and having every advantage that can result from a plenty of water lifting 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 accommodated with all the tools and utensils, and have possession on or before the first of June next, and preparation may be made in the mean time for going into blast immediately thereafter, for every part will be delivered in good order, with some coal, ore, &c. &c. For terms, apply to Mr. Joseph Anthony, in Philadelphia; 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.

Recently Published, And just imported from England, by WILLIAM GRIFFITH, No. 177, South Second-street, and may be had of MOSES J. LEVITSKY, Cheap and valuable work, in two closely printed volumes in 8vo. (price 3 dollars) Illustrations of Prophecy: In which are elucidated many predictions, which occur in Isaiah, Daniel, the writings of the Evangelists, and book of Revelation; which are tho' to be found among other great events, a revolution in France, favorable to the interests of mankind, the overthrow of the papal power and of ecclesiastical tyranny, the downfall of civil despotism, and the subsequent restoration 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, Dr. Th. Goodwin, Fleming, Dr. Henry More, Benevius, Dr. John Owen, Danhuz, Dr. Cressner, Whitley, Peter Jurieu, Townman, Brenus, Bishop Newton, and Bishop Chandler. 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 observations on the symbolic language of prophecy, the authenticity, use, and obscurity of the apocrypha, and the genuineness of the Hebrew prophet; on the rapid corruption of christianity in the fourth century; on the dispersion and restoration of the Jews, the history of the false Messiah 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 interruptions 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, Justinian, Clovis, and Lewis XIV; on the scarcity of books in the dark ages, and the causes of the decline of literature; on the rapid rise of the French monarchy, and the causes of its fall; on the inconsistencies in the political characters of bishops Newton and Hurd; on the peculiarities of Dr. Th. Burnet's theory of the earth; on the beneficial effects which christianity has produced in favor of learning and civil liberty, and its tendency to promote 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 its peruse or consult them, because the extracts introduced in them, which are accurately cited, and marked with inverted commas, are taken from a greater number of writers on the prophecies (at least if the roman catholic commentators be excluded) than are easily accessible to any one individual even in Europe, or are probably to be found in any one library in the world. They are furnished with indexes, and a copious table of contents. Jan. 22-2awt2W

PROPOSALS, FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A NEW AND INTERESTING WORK, ENTITLED, A TREATISE ON THE POLICE OF LONDON, Containing a detail of the various crimes and misdemeanors, by which public and private property are, at present, injured and endangered: And suggesting remedies for their prevention. BY A MAGISTRATE. Aiding for the counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Kent, and Essex; for the city and liberty of Westminster; and for the liberty of the Tower of London. To those who have read this curious and valuable work, it will need no recommendation—they know its solid merit—but as it has hitherto got into very few hands in this country, it will not be amiss to observe—so great was the approbation and demand in London, that it passed through three large editions in the course of twelve months. As a detail of the ingenious varieties of fraud, that endanger property in London, and most other overgrown and opulent cities, it cannot fail to afford the reader great entertainment as well as instruction; but as the author traces all these enormities to a few, and in themselves, insensible causes, many of which actually exist in all the large capitals of the United States, the business is brought home to our own doors; and the work has an increasing claim to our attention. To assist the legislator and the magistrate in the humane office of preventing crimes, and their consequent punishments, are the patriotic design of the author. "Private offences, he says, are the source of public crimes, and the best method of guarding society against the latter is, to make proper provision, for checking the former." "Those men are easily induced from their loyalty who are apostates from virtue." CONDITIONS. This work will be printed in a large octavo, on an excellent English paper—it will be delivered to subscribers, bound in boards, at the moderate price of One Dollar and a half; although the last London edition, on inferior paper and messily bound, is now sold at two dollars and a half. To non-subscribers the price will be raised. Whatever encouragement may be given by subscription, it will be committed to the press without delay; and, barring accidents, will be ready for publication early in April. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at BENJAMIN DAVIES's book-store, No. 68, High Street, and by most of the other booksellers in the city; by George Hill, in Baltimore; and by Samuel Campbell, and A. Drummond, in New-York. January 31. 2awt1a
