This amendment he said would not affect those men who had already acquired lands in this country...
Mr. POTTER was willing to agree to make the sum ten dollars, in order to shorten the business...
Mr. COIT thought it unfortunate that they should, in this instance, have wandered from the object of the bill.
Mr. BALDWIN was in favor of the smaller sum. He said this was a subject upon which it was always found difficult to legislate...
The question was then upon agreeing to the proposition as amended. Mr. SWANWICK spoke at length on this subject...

The following papers were communicated to both Houses of Congress by a Message from the President—July 3.
Authentic.
R. LISTON presents his respects to Col. PICKERING, Secretary of State.
When you first mentioned to me the suspicions expressed by the Spanish Minister respecting an expedition supposed to be preparing on the Lakes...
I have since requested information on the subject from the Governor General of Canada and his Majesty's Secretary of State; and I have authority to assure you...
Philadelphia, 19th June, 1797.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Philadelphia, July 1, 1797.
SIR, Your note of the 19th of the last month, alluding to the suspicions expressed by the Spanish minister, respecting an expedition suggested to be preparing on the Lakes...
Will you permit me to inquire whether you can give any information concerning any other project of an expedition against any part of the dominions of Spain adjacent to the territory of the United States...
I have the honor to be, with great respect, Sir,
Your most obedient servant, TIMOTHY PICKERING.
ROBERT LISTON, Esq., envoy extraordinary & minister plenipotentiary of his Britannic majesty to the United States.
R. LISTON presents his respects to Colonel PICKERING, Secretary of State.
I have had the honor of receiving your letter of yesterday.
In the course of last winter some persons did actually propose to me a plan for an attack on the Floridas and the other possessions of his Catholic Majesty adjoining to the territories of the United States.
The general outline of the project was, that the expedition should be undertaken by a British force sent by sea, and seconded by a number of men resident within the limits of the United States...
I informed the projectors that I could not give any encouragement to a plan of this nature; and I particularly stated two objections to it...
I conceived it to be my duty however to mention the business in my correspondence with my superiors; and I lately received an answer, acquainting me that his Majesty's ministers did not think proper to give any countenance to the project.
You must allow me, Sir, to decline entering into any further particulars. On the one hand because, although I have all along suspected that the persons, who proposed the plan to me, might not improbably be employed by the enemies of Great Britain...
hand, because however loose the principles of these speculators may have been on the subject of the law of nations (as it regards the duties of neutrality) none of them in their intercourse with me ever expressed sentiments that were in any degree hostile to the interests of the United States.
Philadelphia, 2d July. Colonel King's Iron-works, April 21st, 1797.
DEAR CARBY, I wished to have seen you, before I returned to Philadelphia; but I am obliged to return to the session of the Congress, which commences on the 15th May.
Among other things that I wished to have seen you about, was the business Captain Chesholm mentioned to the British Minister last winter at Philadelphia.
I believe, but am not quite sure, that the plan then talked of will be attempted this fall; and if it is attempted, it will be in a much larger way than then talked of; and if the Indians act their part, I have no doubt but it will succeed.
If I attempt this plan, I shall expect to have you, and all my Indian country and Indian friends with me; but you are now in good business, I hope, and you are not to risk the loss of it by saying any thing that will hurt you until you again hear from me.
Where Captain Chesholm is I do not know; I left him in Philadelphia in March, and he frequently visited the Minister, and spoke upon the subject; but I believe he will go into the Creek nation, by way of South Carolina or Georgia.
I have advised you in whatever you do to take care of yourself. I have now to tell you to take care of me too, for a discovery of the plan would prevent the success, and much injure all parties concerned.
To such complaints against me, if such there are, it may be said by my friends, at proper times and places, the Doublehead confirmed the Treaty with the President, at Philadelphia, and receives as much as 5000 dollars a year to be paid to the nation over and above the first price.
WILLIAM BLOUNT.
The conduct of those Editors who have designedly perverted the state of facts in regard to the transactions of the British Ambassador relative to certain of the patriots who had made treasonable proposals to him...
MR. FENNO, There is a barefaced assertion in Bache's paper of this day, purporting that the salt tax was carried by the absence of certain exclusive patriots.
fame Bache imputes the passage of the stamp act to the absence of certain members, and among others of Mr. Swanwick. The fact is, that Swanwick was in favor of the bill, at least he has always said so.
Lord how this world is given to lying."

Jay's Instructions. On MONDAY last, was published, By SNOWDEN & M C CORKLE , No. 47, North Fourth Street, And to be had of the principal BOOKSELLERS, No. 5.
Of the History of the United States for 1796, &c. This and the preceding number present the public with a copy of Jay's INSTRUCTIONS, a performance anxiously concealed by the Executive from the House of Representatives, and the contents of which have excited the most ardent curiosity. This number likewise contains some singular and authentic papers relative to Mr. Alexander Hamilton , late Secretary of the Treasury. No greater proof can be given of the value which he has attached to their impression, than the following anecdote. "During the late canvass for the election of a President, Webster, in his Minerva, gave a hint, that Mr. Hamilton would be an advisable candidate. A person in this city, who chanced to see this newspaper, wrote immediately to a correspondent in New-York. The letter desired him to put himself in Mr. Hamilton's way, and inform him, that if Webster should, in future, print a single paragraph on that head, the papers referred to were, instantly, to be laid before the world." The message was delivered to Mr. Hamilton, and the Minerva became silent!" June 24. taw2w

Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Shippensburg and Sunbury STAGES. THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subsisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster , and William Geer , is now dissolved: but not as M. Slough intimates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the subject from M. Slough to W. Geer , dated the 27th December last. A recital of which is now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer , may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching himself to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippensburg , or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer , in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Wimer , is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's , the sign of the White Horse , Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster , Harrisburg , Carlisle and Shippensburg . The fare as hitherto left blished. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder , in Harrisburg , arrive at Sunbury in Northumberland county , every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia , may proceed on Mondays. WILLIAM GEER . Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferrae , in Lancaster , on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, proceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednesday morning, on the same evening arrives at Patrick Cochran's in Shippensburg , and returns from thence on every Thursday: performing the same routine daily as in its tour from Philadelphia . mwf
