Persons desirous to examine the titles and drafts

of peace, and there is no proposition to break it, he wished to act in a state of peace. Gentlemen had spoken of the true doctrine, and of parties; the true doctrine of party in that house seemed to be, that certain gentlemen are determined to take every means which leads to expense and patronage, and others are determined in opposing that expense and that patronage. He believed this was in Congress the true criterion of party. Therefore when augmentations of our military force were contemplated, it was shown to the House where they were to be employed, and the propriety of the increase was tested by the necessity which was shown for them; but now, because the French government, or somebody for them, has laid some foolish things, an army is to be raised, without saying how, or where it is to be employed. Is there, said Mr. M. a man in the country, who is not blinded by party spirit, who can believe that the French government knew anything of the unauthorized conversations held with our Commissioners in Paris? Is there an American who believes that one half the people of this country are devoted to France? It could not be believed.
If the people of Charles Town, or any other place, think themselves in danger, he was willing to let them have as many troops as they asked for; but, as had been stated, 5000 were a greater number than had been shown to be necessary. He was opposed to the bill altogether, as he saw no necessity for it. He believed if any nation chose to make an attempt to land men in this country, the militia would be able to kill them as fast as they could be brought. He hoped never again to see what he saw in the late war—American armed against American. If ever we were again called to arms, he trusted there would be but one sentiment in America, as to the propriety or justice of the cause in which we fight.
Gentlemen talked loudly about the Independence of the country, as if they were the sole guardians of it. Could it be supposed that men who had fought to gain that independence, would now be more willing than they who had taken no part in the contest, to relinquish the prize to any Nation? It could not be supposed. Nor could he believe with the gentleman from New-Jersey (Mr. Dayton) that the Army of England could be intended for this country. He understood that Army was proposed to be sent over to England in open boats, which gentlemen would not contend could bring them hither. He believed that it was not proper on this, or on any occasion, where danger was apprehended, to show a distrust of our countrymen, from a difference of political opinion which may exist amongst them; for, whatever may be their variance in that respect, whenever an enemy appears, they will unite in repelling him. As to what had been said about the subjugation of this country, it was false. He did not believe that all the powers of Europe united could subjugate the United States. He should be in favor of 50,000 men, because they would only cost half the expense of 10,000.
The question for striking out 20,000 to insert 5,000, was put and negatived 47 to 21. The question now returned upon striking out 20,000 to insert 10,000.
Mr. N. SMITH hoped this amendment would not be agreed to. It was contemplated, when this reduction was proposed, that the power should be given to the President for three years; but it was now restricted to the recess of Congress. He did not himself think that at present there was any danger of an invasion, nor did he believe that imminent danger of an invasion would exist, whilst the war continued betwixt France and England; but, whenever a peace shall take place betwixt those two powers, the question ought then to be taken whether this country ought not immediately to go into preparations for war, and if Congress were not in session at the time, the President ought to have the power of determining this question. It will depend on several circumstances—on what kind of peace was made—upon what ground parties stood when peace was made—on the situation of France at the time—on what kind of men are in power—on the situation of this country—on what is the state of parties here at the time—what is the number of those who are opposed to the government—how many there are of those who wish to lull the rest to sleep—and what is the amount of spies in the country. All these will be important considerations to be decided at the time, and if it shall then appear that imminent danger does exist, will 20,000 men be too large a number to raise? He believed not.
Another consideration of great importance was, the language which the house would hold to Europe in adopting this amendment. It is said, that in case of invasion, war, of imminent danger, 20,000 men will be too many to be raised; we will only raise 10,000. He did not think such language the most proper on such an occasion.
If the French invade this country, it must be with a view to subjugate it; and if so, it must be done through the medium of a Revolution; and if the state of parties at the time authorizes an expectation of success, we may expect them here. And though he believed, with other gentlemen on this floor, that there is no danger of an invasion at present, it was because he believed the opinions frequently expressed in this house by the gentleman from Pennsylvania and others, were not very prevalent out of doors. If they were, he should count upon nothing less than Revolution and Subjection. To provide for the raising of less than 20,000 men, would in his opinion, rather invite attack, than serve to repel it; and as the men would not be raised, except they were wanted, there could be no reasonable hesitation about the matter.
The question for striking out 20,000, and inserting 10,000, was put and carried, 54 votes being in favour of it.
The question next came upon agreeing to the section proposed by the select committee, for authorizing the President, from time to time, as he shall deem it necessary, to call forth in rotation such portions, not exceeding at any one time the number of 20,000 men of the detachments of the militia of the United States, authorized by the act of the 24th June last, as may be conveniently mustered together, and cause them to be trained and disciplined by their proper officers, either in their respective States, or in one corps, to be drawn from two or more adjoining States, for a term not exceeding for which time the officers and men shall be considered as in actual service and be paid and governed accordingly.
After some discussion, in which constitutional objections were urged against this provision, the committee rose without taking a question upon it, and the house adjourned till Monday.

PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, May 29.
At a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Pott's Town and its vicinity, in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, on Saturday the 12th of May, 1798, SAMUEL BAIRD in the chair, JOSEPH POTTS, jun. Secretary;—the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to:
Having contemplated, with anxious solicitude and approbation, the repeated efforts made by the Executive, to terminate the differences between this country and the French Republic; and having observed, with astonishment and indignation, that those advances towards a reconciliation, have not only met with pointed neglect and indignity, but that infamous attempts have been made to corrupt the integrity of our government, and to subvert the happiness and independence of our country;—
Therefore, Resolved, That the present interesting crisis imperiously demands that the government should be fully assured of the unlimited confidence and support of its constituents.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to prepare an address to be presented to the President, expressive of the foregoing sentiments, and assuring him of our firm determination to support the government of our choice in every measure it may deem necessary to maintain the rights, honor, and independence of our country.
Whereupon, John Brooke, Robert E. Hobart, Bartholomew Wambach, Henry Milliner, and Francis R. Potts, were appointed, who reported the following address, which was unanimously adopted.
The People of Pott's Town and its vicinity, in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, To JOHN ADAMS, PRESIDENT of the United States.
SIR, WE have been accustomed to observe in silence, though not with indifference, those political occurrences which affect the happiness and prosperity of our country. The present eventful crisis, however, imposes on us a new duty, and we comply with its obligation with cheerfulness in expressing to you, the first officer of our government, those sentiments with which we are at present actuated.
We assure you, therefore, that we have cordially approved of the firm, yet temperate system adopted by the Executive in its intercourse with the government of the French Republic. With anxious solicitude we have awaited the event of these overtures dictated by a spirit of dignified forbearance and conducted with the firmness of conscientious integrity, which have been made with a view to an amicable adjustment of the differences between the two countries. But, Sir, though we desired an adjustment upon terms compatible with the honor and dignity of the United States, upon those terms only we desired it, and we have seen, with inexpressible indignation, the infamous attempts which have been made upon the integrity of our government, by threatening the peace and happiness of our country, unless preserved at the price of national degradation.
With the virtuous spirit, therefore, of Republicans, we join, we trust, the general voice, in rejecting with disdain the ignominious alternative; resolved to preserve inviolate, at the sacrifice, if necessary, of property and life, the honor and independence of our country, and to leave them unsoiled, a sacred deposit with our posterity.
While a review of the measures of your administration impresses us with a sense of your wisdom and firmness, it inspires us with a confidence that you will not surrender any of the rights of the nation, and that its interest and happiness will still continue the object of your meritorious exertions.
Resolved unanimously, That the foregoing address be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, on behalf of this meeting, and forwarded to John Chapman and Samuel Sitgreaves, Esquires, Representatives in Congress from this district, to be by them presented to the President of the United States.
SAMUEL BAIRD, Chairman. Attest, JOSEPH POTTS, jun. Secretary.
ANSWER.
To the People of Pott's Town and its vicinity, in the county of Montgomery, in the state of Pennsylvania.
GENTLEMEN, WE live in times, when it is almost impossible to observe with indifference, or in silence, those political occurrences, which affect the happiness and prosperity of our country.
The cordial approbation and respect you avow of the firm and temperate system, adopted by the Executive authority of government, in its intercourse with the government of the French Republic, is very satisfactory: You desired an adjustment upon terms compatible with the honor and dignity of the United States, and upon these terms only: You have seen, with inexpressible indignation, the infamous attempts which have been made upon the integrity of our government, by threatening the peace and happiness of your country, unless preserved at the price of national degradation: You resolve to preserve inviolate, at the sacrifice of life and property, the honor and independence of your country, and to leave them unsoiled, a sacred deposit with posterity: and in declaring these sentiments to the world, you have deserved well of your country.
Your confidence, that I will not surrender the rights of the nation, shall not be
betrayed: If the nation were capable of such a surrender, which it is not, some other hand must affix the signature to the ignominious deed.
JOHN ADAMS. Philadelphia, 25th May, 1798.
IN pursuance of a notification, published in several newspapers, requesting the inhabitants of Berks County, in the state of Pennsylvania, to assemble and take into consideration the propriety of addressing the President of the United States on the present alarming situation of the country; a very large number of the most respectable inhabitants of the County, met at the Court House in the Borough of Reading, on Thursday the 17th day of May, 1798; and appointed
JACOB RUSH, Esqr. Chairman. JACOB HUBLEY, Esqr. Sec'y.
Immediately after the Chairman had taken his seat and the meeting was opened, the following address, signed by JOHN MOORE, and JOHN POTTER, in behalf of 115 Young Men of the County, who marched in military procession to this meeting, was presented:
To the CHAIRMAN,
At a moment when we view the present alarming situation of a country that our forefathers ventured their lives to settle and cultivate, the freedom and liberties of which were since obtained by the blood of our nearest and dearest connections, we ask, Sir, shall we sit down coolly and see those dear-bought rights trampled on by foreign powers? No, Sir, the spirit shown by our ancestors, still reigns in the breasts of their sons—and we here step forward, though young and unexperienced, to offer our lives and services in support of the laws and liberties of our country.
JOHN MOORE, Chairman. (Signed) JOHN POTTER, Secretary. Reading, May 17, 1798.
Which being read, it was moved and resolved, that the thanks of this meeting be given to the Young Men for the foregoing address.
The following resolutions were then unanimously adopted, viz.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to prepare an address to the President of the United States, expressive of the confidence of this meeting in his wisdom, patriotism, and integrity, and of their approbation of the wise and equitable measures adopted by the Executive of the United States with respect to foreign nations, particularly in negotiation with the French Republic.
Resolved, That George Ege, Esqr. Gen. Jacob Bower, Col. John Myers, Capt. Peter Nagle, and Daniel Clymer, be a committee for the purpose aforesaid.
The Committee having retired for a short time, returned with the Address, which being read, was unanimously adopted, and heartily approved of; and
Resolved, That the Address presented by the Committee aforesaid be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, in behalf of the meeting, and be transmitted to JOSEPH HEISTER, Esqr. to be by him presented to the President of the United States.
Signed in behalf of the meeting. JACOB RUSH, Chairman. Attest, JACOB HUBLEY, Sec'y.
IN pursuance of a notification published in several newspapers, requesting the inhabitants of Berks County in the state of Pennsylvania to assemble and take into consideration the propriety of addressing the President of the United States, on the present alarming situation of the Country; a very large number of the most respectable inhabitants of the County met at the Court House in the Borough of Reading, on Thursday the 17th day of May, 1798, and unanimously resolved that the following Address be presented
To the PRESIDENT of the United States.
SIR, THE interesting crisis to which the United States are at last driven by the rapacity, wickedness, and ambition of the French Government, calls loudly and explicitly upon us to unite in defence of our country; and by displaying that unanimity to the world, to convince our enemies, that the people are not divided from their Government.
There remains not the least doubt that their project of plundering this part of the globe, is very much strengthened by the fallacious idea that the Executive of the United States has contravened the wishes and sentiments of the people at large in his intercourse with foreign nations.
To repel this false and mischievous calumny as far as lies in our power, by bearing a public and unequivocal testimony in favour of your Administration, and especially in behalf of the late attempt to negotiate a treaty of peace with the French Nation, is both our motive and apology for intruding on you with this Address.
If our situation has become in any degree serious or alarming, we are highly gratified in the reflection it has not proceeded from any want of temperate and judicious measures, on your part to prevent it.
The relative conduct of the United States and of France, at this eventful period, must, form a striking contrast, in the judgment of the candid and discerning part of mankind; and history will hereafter be at a loss which to admire most, the impudent profligacy and exorbitant demands of the French, in order to plunge us into war, or the anxious and unremitted efforts of the United States to avoid it. While we thus express our unreserved approbation of the conduct of the first Magistrate, we cannot omit the opportunity of declaring, that we have the most entire confidence in your wisdom, integrity, and political fortitude; and that we trust, by the blessings of Heaven, upon the Executive and Legislative Councils of our country, aided by the patriotism of the People, we shall be enabled to support our independence, in defiance of an enemy, who not only spurns at our ministers of peace, but openly avows
an intention of compelling us to yield the last farthing; if in their boundless ambition they shall think proper to attack us.
Signed in behalf of the meeting. (Signed) JACOB RUSH, Chairman. Attest, JACOB HUBLEY, Sec'y.
To the Inhabitants of Berks County, in the state of Pennsylvania.
GENTLEMEN, THE publick and unequivocal testimony you offer, in favour of my Administration, especially in the late attempt, to negotiate a treaty of peace with the French Nation, deserves my thanks.
I think with you that history will hereafter be at a loss, which to admire most, the anxious and unremitted efforts of the United States to avoid war, or those of the French to plunge us into it.
Your approbation and confidence are equally encouraging, and I trust with you, that by the blessings of Heaven, on the Legislative and Executive Councils of our Country, supported by the patriotism of the People, we shall be enabled to preserve our Independence. JOHN ADAMS. Philadelphia, May 24, 1798.
READING, May 14, 1798. To his Excellency JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States.
SIR, AT a moment when addresses of approbation are issuing from so many towns, and from almost every state in the Union, we should deem ourselves in some degree culpable, were we to withhold from merit the just reward of thanks and applause; which in our opinion every man is entitled to, from the meanest cottager, up to the first magistrate, who is so fortunate as to render distinguished services to his country.
We the subscribers, young men of this Borough, having caught the glorious flame of the metropolis, are ambitious to emulate so noble an example; and though few in number, we trust our offering will not be unacceptable.
We are too much engaged in business, and too young to be competent judges of all the measures of government; but there are some to obviously just, that even we are able to perceive their propriety and wisdom: of this description is the pacific measure, in order to preserve a good understanding with the French Nation, and to avert their hostile views from our country. We have been witnesses of her injustice to other powers, we now feel it ourselves. We have seen her at home, overturning the immense fabric of a despotic and corrupt monarchy, and erecting upon the ruins of it, a republic still more despotic and corrupt: in the progress of this vast revolution, all the bands of society have been loosened; every principle, human and divine, has been trampled in the dust.
However, Sir, we are determined to shew them, and the whole world, that we prefer the Religion and Laws of our forefathers to their new fangled doctrines; and that we will oppose, to the utmost of our power, their tyrannical demands, and every attack, upon our liberty as secured to us, by our noble and excellent Constitution. As a pledge, Sir, of our sincerity, we hereby make you a voluntary tender of our best services, for the safety of our common country, whenever it shall please you to demand them.
Accept, Sir, our ardent wishes for your happiness and welfare. Signed by one hundred and fifteen young men.
To the Young Men of the Borough of Reading, in Pennsylvania.
GENTLEMEN, Your Address, adopted under the auspices and with the express approbation of your fathers, is most affecting to me—Upon your own principle you are entitled to thanks and applause; the respect you avow to the young men of Philadelphia has been well merited.
Those must be young, indeed, who are not competent judges of the present state of their country, and cannot see the road of honor, virtue and patriotism.
The voluntary tender of your best services, for the safety of our common country, does you honor, and will receive its applause, JOHN ADAMS. Philadelphia, May 24th, 1798.

FOREIGN ARTICLES.
CADIZ, March 8.
Lord St. Vincent, whom we supposed had returned to Lisbon, is at this moment, with 12 ships of the line, at anchor in the road of Jeremie, a few leagues to the south of Cape Spartel, and consequently so situated, as to form a junction with the remainder of the English fleet, which at present blockades Cadiz, profiting himself by the same wind, which will facilitate the sailing of our fleet. However, notwithstanding the situation of Lord St. Vincent, our fleet is determined to sail with the first fair wind, it has provisions for four months.
The fleet which blockades us, is always in sight of the port, one of their advice boats is continually hovering about, in order to discover what is passing here.
MADRID, March 14.
Sequi, the commissioner of the French Directory, has found some difficulties attending the mission with which he is charged that he did not expect. It appears that he cannot approach the Prince of Peace so often as he wishes, and that it was not without some difficulty, that he was enabled to send off the courier which he has dispatched for Paris within these few days. Those who with absolute to divine that which is not confined to them, pretend to say, that there is something more than coolness exists between the commissioner and the ambassador of the French republic. However, be it as it may, it is certain that it will not be long before Sequi departs for France.
HAMBURGH, March 15.
Twenty barrels filled with silver have lately arrived here from England, and is said to be destined for Vienna—We understand that a second remittance, of the like kind, will soon arrive.
Many people pretend to say, that we shall be brought under the yoke of a great power.
So far, however, nothing has transpired, that can afford the least foundation to so disagreeable a report.
PARIS, March 27.
By another arrest, of the 26th Ventose, (15th March) the commune of Bergnac has been declared in a state of siege. The true motives which have produced this arrest are, that the partisans of royalty have endeavoured to mislead the public mind, and have planned troubles, which they intended to bring forth at the ensuing elections, by sending secret agents among the inhabitants of the country, cauting the deluded farmers to sign a defamatory libel against the constituted authorities of the department; that the malevolent of that commune, have determined to carry the rallying standard, and have resolved to choose the officers of the National guard, from among the enemies of the government; in fine, that they are leagued with those of Bourdeaux, the consequences of which it is impossible to foresee.
By another arrest of the 28th Ventose, (17th March) the Executive directory has appointed citizen Lecarlier, administrator of the department of L'Alne, to be commissary of the government, near the army of the French republic in Switzerland. Citizen Mengaud, charge d'affairs of the republic at Basle, and citizen Mangouret, resident of the republic at Valais, will conform themselves to the instructions which citizen Lecarlier shall give them, in consequence of those which he will receive from the executive directory.
A report has prevailed for these few days past, and is generally credited, that the French fleet which sailed from Corfu, composed of 40 ships of the line, besides frigates, and having 4,000 men on board, has arrived at Syracuse in Sicily.
BATAVIAN CONSTITUTION.  Letter from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the President of the Executive Directory—2 Germinal [March 2].  Citizen President, I this instant receive intelligence, that the plan of a constitution, presented to the constituent assembly, of the Batavian people, has just been definitely adopted.  (Signed) CH. MAN. TALLYRAND  COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.  March 23.  Gauthier (of Calvados) states; in a motion of order, the necessity of organizing speedily, establishments for public instruction, especially with respect to morals, which is called for from all quarters. He concludes by proposing that all subjects not yet be adjourned for one month, and that the committee of public instruction be heard every other day. The council adopt the proposition.  RASTADT, March 15.  Answer of the French ministers, to the last note of the deputation of the Empire dated the 11th inst.  The ministers plenipotentiary of the French republic, have always thought, that the deputation of the Empire, convinced of the necessity of a fixed and invariable limit between the two countries, would accede to a proposition which private interests and subordinate passions alone could have delayed.  They see with pleasure, in the resolution of the 11th March, (22d Ventose), of which the Imperial minister has communicated to them a copy, a next to his own note, that their hope was not without foundation. It is now that it will be possible to begin to labour more efficaciously for the happiness of the people, since it is possible, immediately, and without impediment, to set about preventing the evils of war, by the speedy conclusion of a stable peace, of which the first effects will be, the retreat of the troops into the interior.  To accelerate this great work, it is ne-

cessary to fix the manner of the indemnity for such of the flats as have lost by the cession of the left bank of the Rhine. The ministers of the French Republic find the basis of indemnity in the secularizations. The deputation of the empire will early convince itself, that this basis is as necessary as that which has already been accepted, respecting the settlement of boundaries. It would be superfluous to remark that it is not necessary, at present, to examine what flats have a right to indemnity, nor to present a statement of the objects which may be applied to these indemnities. It is improper and impossible to think of the application of a principle a principle, until the principle be generally acknowledged. It is then only, that an answer will be proper to the articles annexed to the notes of the 3d March of which several are in effect admissible. Rastadt, 23d Vendome, (March 13.) (Signed) TRILHARD & BONNIER. The principle of secularization contained in the answer of the French ministers, will cause, it is feared, a schism in the deputation of the empire.
BERLIN, February 23. The king has lately created a commission of finance composed of the ministers of state, Shuckeburgh, Kellner, Heinze and Spretten, three men hitherto regarded as the worthy pupils of Frederick II. Under their auspices, it is the true interest of the state, and having always manifested their private interest for the general welfare. MILAN, March 1. The following are the details of the disturbance in the garrison of Milan. The 23d Pavesio in the morning, the inhabitants of Milan, remained in an extraordinary commotion in the French garrison. These troops assembled suddenly at the Place d'armes, with four pieces of cannon, lighted match, arms and baggage; and there took up a line of march to quit the city, declaring that they intended to return to France. On the road, they were met by the general, who received a firing from four months' guns. General Miollis immediately ordered all the gates to be shut, and sent his aid-de-camp to quiet the soldiers; but it was not until after much remonstrance, that they consented to remain, on condition that their pay should be given to them the next day. The administration, upon a written requisition of Gen. Miollis, immediately ordered a forced loan of four hundred thousand livres. After emptying all the public beds and supplying the hospitals and prisons in Milan, circumstances, they at length rolled the necessary sum, by the sum appointed. They also put in requisition five thousand pairs and six thousand pair of shoes, of which the French troops were totally destitute.
Our executive directory has published two letters of General Berthier. The first contains the declaration of the French government in favor of the Venetian patriots, who with to settle upon the territory of France. The second, says that according to the demarcation of limits which will shortly take place between the Roman and Cisalpine republics, the latter will have San-Lio, Leon and the town of Pesaro, so that the two republics will be separated by a line drawn on the heights between Passaro and Fano. This cession will be made upon condition that the Cisalpine will keep the two places in question in the belt of defence.
Letters from Genoa say, that the French troops in that city, amounting to two thousand men, have left it for this place. The Ligurian government has determined to build two ships of the line and four frigates.
The number of imperial troops increases daily at Pavia, and seven battalions more, whose destination is not known, are expected. French and Cisalpine regiments continue to pass through Bologna, as well as transports of ammunition, destined for the citadel of the church.
FRANKFORT, March 16. Letters from Vienna say, that the new raising of troops which is about taking place in Austria, will amount to 80,000 men. It is confirmed that the imperial troops will remain for the present, upon the war establishment.
According to letters of the 15th March, the Hanse towns of Lubec, Bremen and Hamburg, have delivered to the deputation of the empire, a memorial in which they ask the continuance of their political existence and an absolute neutrality for their commerce, during the wars which may in future take place.
HEAD-QUARTERS, BEANE, March 15. General Brune, commander in chief of the French troops in Helvetia. Whereas a large number of citizens of the different cantons of Helvetia, expressed to me their desire to see the establishment of a republic one and indivisible, democratic and representative, which should be composed of the country of Vaud and the four jurisdictions of the Upper and Lower Valais; of the Italian Bailiwicks; of Geneva and the Upper Country (as part of the Canton of Bern) called the Canton of Fréboug, and the districts of Morat and Nidau, I have taken under consideration the motives of their demand, and found it well adapted to the principles of liberty, and to the local situation, since a republic composed of all the specified territories, might freely give itself after their own laws and enjoy the advantage of an alliance with the French republic. Therefore it is hereby directed:
1. The representative of the Upper and Lower Valais; of the Italian Bailiwicks; of the Canton of Geneva and Geneva; of the Canton of Fréboug, and the districts of Morat and Nidau shall meet, without delay, in the city of Lausanne, and join the representatives of the country of Vaud, in order to form a constitution, in the government of the Helvetic republic. The districts, that have not yet chosen their delegates or representatives, shall with-out delay proceed to the election, in the same manner as has been done in the country of Vaud.
2. The Helvetic republic consists of five cantons, viz. 1. Vaud, comprehending the country of Vaud and the four jurisdictions; 2. Lausanne, chiefly place; 3. Sion, chiefly place; 4. Valais, chiefly place; 5. Geneva, comprehending the city of Geneva and the country of Geneva. The canton of Vaud has a legislative body composed of 72 members, divided into two councils, the senate of 24 members, and the great council of 48. The canton of Lausanne has 18 deputies; Sion and Geneva, 18; Upper Land, 12; Valais, 12; and Geneva, 12.
3. It has an executive directory composed of five members. 4. Lausanne is the seat of the legislative body and of the directory, who may however, within six months, definitively determine which place shall be the seat of government. 5. The legislative body shall meet on the 5th Germinal (March 25). They may deliberate, as soon as there are 24 members present in the great council, and 12 in the senate. Both councils shall be every two years renewed by halves, viz. every year twenty-four members go out of the great council, and thirty out of the senate. 6. The directory shall enter into council on the 10th Germinal (March 30). It is not necessary to be married or a widower to be eligible for a place in the directory.
7. There shall be in each town or chief community a municipality of which the full-power shall be president. The municipalities shall watch for the safety of the property belonging to the community.
8. The indemnities granted to the constituted
authorities shall be at the charge of the public treasury. 9. The plan of a constitution adopted in the Canton of Vaud, formerly called Pays de Vaud, shall serve as a guide, except as to such points as are contrary to the present regulations. Nevertheless, the legislative body shall without delay, limit the power of apprehending, given to the national priests. 10. The legislative body shall intrust the trial by jury, in criminal cases. It may proceed to a revision of the constitution within two years, provided that the changes be submitted to the sanction of the primary assemblies. 11. The customs and habits favorable to morality and liberty, religious opinions and worship shall be respected. The legislative body shall for the example of that respect. (Signed) BRUNE.
FRENCH GRATITUDE. REPUBLIC OF VENICE. Speech of the President of the National Convention of France to the Venetian Ambassador in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five. "Governed by a wise constitution, directed solely by the principles of justice and reason, and the purest maxims of morality, France is on the point of enjoying the objects of her wishes, Liberty, Equality and Union. France always great, will reply to generous proceedings by proceedings equally generous. When on all sides our rising republic was assailed in its cradle, and the event appeared to be uncertain, the Venetian Senate not content with keeping within the bounds of neutrality, received with distinction the Envoy of the French Republic. We love to talk of and publish our Gratitude. The measure was so much the more noble, as it exposed our faithful ally to much embarrassment. France under a despotick yoke might be ungrateful and treacherous, but France restored to Freedom, becomes a Republic, which cannot be otherwise than grateful. Tell your nation that she may number among the most pure and zealous of her allies the French Republic. Holland, comprized in our treaty with Spain, proves that we do not forget our allies." This was the language of France in 1795. Every body knows the rest: Within two years this faithful ally, this ancient Republic, was battered and swapped away to the Emperor of Germany. American Reader! - pause here!
By this day's Mail. BOSTON, May 24. The rain which fell yesterday, was accompanied with more severe thunder and lightning than has been witnessed since the warm season commenced - the dwelling-house of Mr. B. Joy, in Newbury-Street, was struck by the lightning in two or three different directions, and the interior considerably damaged; thefahr. Federal George, lying at the head of Long-Wharf, had her main-top-mast cut away, and her mainmast shivered to pieces. These are all the accidents we have heard of, though it is probable many more happened. Johah Quincy, Esq. is appointed to deliver the Town-Oration, on the 4th July.
BALTIMORE, May 26. Extract of a letter from capt. Liddle, of the Schooner Beaufort, dated at sea, 20th April, 1798. "This morning, in lat. 21, 38, long. 70, 16, E. at break of day a French privateer appeared on my lee bow, which gave chase to me. I set all the sail that lay in my power to get away from her, but it was to no purpose, for the wind was light and my vessel deep loaded so that the enemy came up with me very shortly, and continued firing all the time; at last I hove to and let him come up, which he did, still continuing firing. As soon as he came up his orders were, "Get out your boat you American b---" and come on board with your papers" which I did. As soon as I came on board the captain of the privateer gave orders that I should be tied to one of the guns and given four dozen lashes. There were a number of Englishmen on board the privateer. I requested to know for what I was to be flogged - their answer was because I did not heave to when they fired the first shot. I asked him if the captain of an English ship was to give chase to him if he would heave to the first shot - he answered he would not, but it was an American b--- place to do it. However by the interference of the Englishmen on board his vessel and my being so well, I was released from the punishment. They then overhauled my papers and searched the vessel, broke open the chests, &c. belonging to myself and the supercargo, and stole every thing they thought would be of any service to them, inasmuch that I have not a shirt to put on my back; they haul'd off my old jacket, trousers, stockings, and searched even my shoes for papers."
Extract of another letter from the same gentleman, dated Porto Rico, April 25. "I have arrived in this port about 20 minutes ago. The owner of the privateer who took me has just been on board; I asked him what he was going to do with me after bringing me into this place, when I was bound to a French port? His answer was, to condemn vessel and cargo, because I had on board English nankenees. I then asked him if he would be so kind as to let me have my own venture? He answered my venture was as good a prize as the cargo; and informed me I could lay on board no longer than this night, b-t that tomorrow morning I must go on shore. So that what I shall do, God only knows."

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, Mar 29. Yesterday arrived the brig Lovely Lafs, captain Thompson, 32 days from Madeira. Whilst captain Thompson lay there, the ship Sarah of Boston, arrived from Algiers, left from Gibraltar, having on board the crew of the Crescent frigate, who were returning home. The captain of the Sarah informed captain Thompson, that just off Madeira, he was fired at by a privateer, under English colours, but he supposed she was French, from their calling to him in broken English to heave to. He accordingly slackened his course, but the privateer, in coming up, still continued firing, and ordered him to hoist out his boat and come along side. This he refused to do, but told the privateer that if he would come along side his vessel, he would show him his papers and give him all necessary satisfaction. Upon this the privateer discharged a broadside into the ship, which did no other damage than cutting some of the rigging. The guns of the Sarah were soon brought to bear, and she returned the salute with as warm a broadside, which the privateer not liking altogether, thought it most prudent to sheer off. The vapouring of poor Surog or profim and his party remind one of the Baloonist who, ascending in his machine, with the pompous motto, "sic itur ad astra," was presently dropped upon the earth and shattered to pieces. "Rise," cries Bache, "ere it be too late" - Rise, and redress your wrongs: But ah! he cries in vain. The cruel fate of his party resembles that of a wounded serpent; which, in attempting to ascend a precipice, is hurled continually lower. Not all the malice of all ills combined, can raise again his powers to that "bad eminence," whence towering virtue lately hurled them. If Bache is ever exalted, it will be to the station of Prometheus, where the execrating vulture of public scorn, "tundens immortale jecur," will amply punish the disgrace and injuries heaped on his country, by the venality, perfidy and malice of a base and unnatural miscreant. An unhappy man put a period to his existence a few days since, in a fit of despair, by taking Laudanum. The frequency of suicides and murders, is become an abundant and distressing source of lamentation. These are the first fruits of French principles - the natural and inevitable emanations of that philosophy, which teaches us to substitute passion for reason, and a visionary and fantastic compound of atheism, vanity and vice, for a pure and rational morality. Before we knew the contaminating influence of these corrupt principles, we were a free, a virtuous and a happy people. Here man raised not his callous hand against himself - much less against his neighbor. But all quod domus tam fabulis? - After corrupting our virtue, by the malign influence of their manners and principles the next step was short to undermining our freedom. The magnanimous consistory of a few in resisting their wiles alone saved us. In order to remain secure from future assaults, we must be called back to our primitive purity. A people whose manners and principles are loose and corrupt, can never long enjoy freedom. Virtue is the only solid foundation for liberty and happiness. "Thou fortune's blackest forms rage on his house, The man whose pious soul reveres the Gods, Assumes a confidence, and justly; for The good at length obtain the meed of virtue: But if the unholy wretch, such is his nature, Never can be happy." All history teaches us, that no extensive conquest can be long maintained by violence and oppression; the whole art of the most successful conquerors has accordingly been exerted in preventing the conquered from realizing any essential change in their habits, manners, laws, religion and government. Every deviation from this policy has eventually produced information changes, and oftener more fatal consequences to the victor. The case of the Helots is an instance peculiarly in point; and the continual state of alarm and apprehension with which they revenged their oppressions on their conquerors, are a strong evidence of the danger of carrying the right of conquest to unnatural lengths. So long as man continues the slave of his passions, so long will his nature remain repugnant to that rule of morality which commands oblivion of injuries. No nation has more terribly suffered than France, from the operation of revenge, animated into fury by insoluble extortions and oppressions. The Sicilian Vespers, and various other incidents, at an earlier period of her history, as well as since, hold out to her the most frightful warnings of the danger into which she has, notwithstanding, again plunged herself, of counting too much on the depletion of a vanquished foe. From the very nature of man, it is impossible that her incautious and oppressive policy, can fail of drawing down upon her devoted head, a retribution tremendous and severe; this day of judgment is liable to procrastination by the operation of various causes; but the longer the hour of retribution is put off, the more heavily will the vengeance fall. Judging from past experience, her conquests must very speedily be dissipated. Acquisitions so extensive, have rarely been so maintained. The immense empire raised by Philip of Macedon, in a very few years, vanished like a dream. The extensive invasions of the barbarians, were soon put a stop to, and terminated in many instances, in their own subjugation. All past experience confirms the fact, that re-action against ambition and rapacity, is as natural and inevitable as the return of a pendulum in its vibrations. At times, indeed, this re-action is rendered so remote, by the intervention of incidental causes that the connection is lost to inattentive minds: In the instance of France, there is every ground to believe this will not be the case. So rapid and incautious has been her marche victorieuse, that she has not waited to confirm one step, before she has advanced with another: this added to the unexampled rapacity and oppression exercised over all her conquests, her preposterous vanity, in imposing her own motley creeds, her uncouth code, and her disgusting and offensive manners, upon the miserable victims of her ambition; all conspire to ensure the rapid recoil of just and rigorous revenge. Her immense colonial fabric of conquest, reared on the ruins of humanity and reason; that monstrous and ill connected form, whose gigantic frides, distaining all constraint, she is now feeling to direct acrost the main of waters, requires a less feeble shock to overturn it, than is generally imagined. Framed by accident, and adapted only
to the temporary use of moonshine tyrants, the first rude blow must scatter the disjuncta membra, and the first loud storm dissolve them, like the fleeting fabric of a vision. "To good oppress, ye noble few, Who ere unspotted stand beneath life's pressure, Yet hear up a cable, & what your bounded view (Which only saw a little part) deem'd ill, Is no more."
MR. FENNO. The justice due to the British government for the promptness and equity of their decisions on American claims, when supported by proper documents, induces me to request you to state in your paper the following case: In January last I transmitted a claim for a loss on a quantity of flour, which being destined to a French port then declared to be in a state of blockade, was taken and the flour sold at a British port. This business was referred to the gentlemen to whom case of this description are agreed to be referred and on the 11th February, (not much more than a month from the day of the packet leaving New-York) an award issued in my favor. Whenever the French government give me the opportunity I shall with pleasure give them equal credit - but also I where are the grounds for such an expectation - if I look to the dispatches from our Commissioners, shall I find it there? A Merchant of Philadelphia. MR. FENNO. The following note was received this morning from the Author of the Poem, entitled "THE ALIENS;" with a request, that it should be published, to prevent the trouble of application. Your's, respectfully, J. O. MR. ORMEROD will be so good as not to deliver any more copies of the poem entitled "THE ALIENS." It was a hasty production, and committed to the press on the spur of the occasion. I am advised, in a manner too delicate and interesting to be neglected, that, this performance merits a revival; and will bear the delay of a few weeks. Your very humble servant, H. MARSHALL.

C O N G R E S S. Yesterday, in the House of Representatives of the United States, the Clerk having received information of the indisposition of the SPEAKER, and of his being unable to attend his duty, announced it to the house, and on motion of Mr. D. POSTER, the members present proceeded to the choice of a Speaker pro tempore, when Mr. DENT was chosen, by a large Majority, there being 51 votes for him, and only two or three scattering votes for four or five other members. Mr. DENT took the chair accordingly. The following resolution was proposed by Mr. HARPER. Resolved that it is expedient to suspend all Commercial intercourse between the United States and the French Republic, or her possessions, until an adjustment of the existing differences between the two powers shall be effected. At the request of Mr. McDOWELL this resolution was ordered to lie upon the table till to-morrow. The House went into a committee of the whole on a report of the Committee for the protection of Commerce and the Defence of the Country, proposing an arrangement in one corps of the Marines who are or shall be engaged in the service of the United States, and by annexing them to the existing Military Establishment; to consist of a Major, and suitable commissioned and non-commissioned officers, 500 privates and the necessary musicians, which was agreed to, & a bill ordered to be reported accordingly. The house afterwards went into committee of the whole on the bill to amend the Post Office and Post Road Law, on which they spent the remainder of the sitting, and had leave to sit again.

WOODHAM - from Liverpool, having on board the Sicilian Vespers, by her in rebellion against their lord; and classical groves rebound, rarer with the bray of the revolutionary claron, than with the "amorous defcant" of the nightingale. It is said, by the French, that the new government of Rome is a transcript of the ancient discipline of that city. It may be governed by nominal consuls and praetors, but Julius Cesar and Cicero, could they be invoked from the shades, would groan at beholding such a travesty of the Augustan age. - In the Pope's coffers two millions were found, to gratify the rapacity of the French robbers. This sum was purloined and transmitted to Gen. Berthier, the bold Robberhood of his bandits! Most of the sacred coffer has been seized and sent prisoners to Avignon. Grave and inoffensive priests are the peculiar objects of the malice of a free citizen. After striving to blot out the sun of righteousness from the world, it is only proceeding in character to deprade the adherents to religion. To a furious Jacobin the purple robes of authority and the pure vestments of the priest are equally hateful.
In the Batavian republic another new constitution is projecting. Under the direction of French master-workmen, it is astonishing with what facility forms of government may be manufactured. They can make a code, as easily as one of their tailors can make a coat. A declaration of rights may be made in the same time that is required to sew on a button. Ten British ships of war are on the American coast, in quest of the cruisers from France. The reign of depredation is nearly over; captain Kid will soon be taken and hanged. If modern government should adopt the policy of Alfred, all concerned in French privateering, and robbery upon the high seas would be seized and executed, at the common coming of mankind.

NOTICE. HAVING observed an advertisement of C. Gullager, in terms derogatory of our pro- fessional abilities, we have to request the public not to be imposed upon by foreign artists; but to decide upon the merits of each by a comparison of the work executed by both, as it is a mode almost universally adopted by them to invalidate the ta- lents of established artists, with a view of deceiv- ing the public, and engrossing that business which their professional knowledge in no wise entitles them to. Well knowing that public opinion must govern, we rather ourselves that the work executed by us will convince them of our great superior- ity over Mr. Gullager in every branch of port- rait and ornamental painting, and shew the neces- sity of judging for themselves. N. B. In future no attention will be paid to the self-flattering advertisements of Mr. G. Any person wishing a supply of FLAGS and DRUMS will please apply to Geo. Rutter and Co. Norris' Court, or Henry Fraley, German- town. d6w may 8.
Military Colours. At G. GULLAGER'S Portrait and Ornamental Painting Rooms, No. 50, South Fourth, next to Chestnut Street, opposite the Friends' Meeting. PAINTING on silk for Military and other or- namental purposes (in a manner peculiar to himself) durable, not to be injured by the weather, which for elegance of design, truth and beauty of colouring, neatness and masterly execution, has not been equalled by George Rutter and Co. FLAGS AND DRUMS Furnished with all possible dispatch, on the most reasonable terms. Ornamental Painting, Signs, Fire Buck- ets, Cornices, &c. &c. executed in style (not that superb style of modern elegance peculiar to G. R.) but in a workman-like manner, peculiar to an art- ist master of his profession. Mr. GULLAGER, from a number of years' expe- rience in Europe and this country, flatters himself that professional talents, punctuality, and reason- able demands, will meet the entire approbation of those gentlemen who will please to call at his Paint- ing Rooms. d6w may 5.
NOTICE. P.S. Gentlemen in town and country, wishing for a supply of Colours and Drums, painted in a manner superior to any who doubt themselves obliged for the kind ear- lier given by George Rutter and Co. not to trust self- flattering advertisements, but examine the work executed by both parties. One view will satis- fy them where the superiority lies,—save the spoil- ing of good silk by George Rutter's pencil—and discover the requisites for the contrasting talents of Henry Fraley, at Germantown. may 10.

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 gift Mill, with two pair of stones; also a good Forge, all in perfect repair, & are all the Water Works connect- ed 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 prove 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 30 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 accommodat- ed with all the stock 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 in good order, with some coals, Ores, &c. &c. For terms, apply to Mr. Joseph Anthony, in Philadel- phia, 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
