FACTS
Submitted to public consideration, as additional evidences of the efficacy of
Dr. HAMILTON'S MEDICINES,
IN THE CURE OF Most Disorders to which the human body is liable. RHEUMATISM. JOHN HOOVER, Rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath, as follows: namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of becoming a cripple for life; notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted. When several external cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mullein, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.
JOHN HOOVER.
Sworn and subscribed to the 28th day of March, 1800, before Ebenezer Ferguson, Esq. one of the Justices of the Peace for Philadelphia county.
DANGEROUS COLD.
DAVID GILBERT, Toyman, No. 46, South Fourth Street, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath, as follows: namely, that about eight months ago, he caught a severe cold, which refused every remedy he could think of, and produced the most alarming coughing, nor breathe without great pain and difficulty, and was finally convinced, as to be scarcely able to walk about, which left his friends little hope of his recovery, though the prescriptions of a respectable physician were constantly attended to. In this situation on hearing of the efficacy of Hamilton's Elixir, a bottle was procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street; the first dose of which afforded the most surprising relief, and gave him more ease than he had enjoyed during the whole of the above period, and before the contents of one bottle were taken, he was perfectly cured, his strength and appetite recovered, and not a symptom of his former distressing complaint remained. The above particular is the testimony of his gratitude, and for the benefit of mankind. DAVID GILBERT. Sworn and subscribed before me the 28th day of March, 1800. JOHN JENNINGS, Alderman.
TO PARENTS
Who may have Children afflicted with the Hooping Cough. This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
WORMS.
A daughter of Mr. Ewing Wile, No. 109. Cedar Street, Philadelphia, was dreadfully afflicted with worms, inasmuch that her life was with great reason despaired of; her complexion faded and grew pale and sallow; her eyes sunken; her appetite was lost, and succeeded by a painful and constant sickness at the stomach; which general wasting and debility was accompanied with every appearance of a dangerous fever. From this deplorable situation she was relieved, and restored to a state of perfect health and strength in a few days, by the use of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, which expelled a great number of large pointed worms, from six to nine or ten inches in length; one of which being a most extraordinary thickness, (supposed from half an inch to an inch in diameter) was opened and found to contain a quantity of young ones. The above is communicated by Mr. Wile, believing its perusal may be useful to many, by extending the knowledge of a medicine which merits universal attention; but this testimony is only a corroboration of the evidence of more than FIFTY THOUSAND persons of all ages, who have, within twenty months past, been cured by this medicine, with the utmost ease and facility, of various complaints, arising from worms and from obstructions or torments in the stomach and bowels.
Dr. Hamilton's Grand Restorative
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from disordered pleasures, venial indiscretions, residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution; the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the unskilful or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lying in, &c. And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumption, townships of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleets, flour albus (or whites) impotency, barrenness, &c. This medicine is perfectly different in its qualities and operation from those hot and irritating drugs frequently proposed for similar purposes, and which only recommend themselves by the dangerous rapidity of their effects, and which, acting as a temporary but violent stimulus on the nervous system, infallibly produce greater evils than those they are intended to remove. The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers, and sending from that organ new health, and vigour into every part of the system. It strengthens and purifies the blood without inflaming it; braces, without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and the general habit; brings back the unculiar fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and restores that nutrition which moderate evacuations, have destroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility. The Restorative is absolutely above all recommendation, in removing those weaknesses and infirmities with which many females are still clogged, the consequences of difficult and painful labours, or of injudicious treatment therein. The most obstinate seminal gleets; and the most distressing cases of flour albus in females falls particularly under the province of this restorative; speedily yield to its benign operation, and are radically cured, by correcting and purifying the acrimonious humors, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, and strengthening the weakened organs. In cases of extremity where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impairment of the system, excellent debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
The grand restorative is prepared in pills as well as in fluid form, which affords considerably in producing a gradual and lasting effect. Their virtues remain unimpaired for years in any climate.

Price 3-4ths of a dollar each box.
Patent Indian Vegetable Specific,
For the cure of Venereal complaints of every description: An extensive trial of near four years, has proved the Vegetable Specific to be effectual in expelling the venereal virus, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and has restored health to many who have been brought to the brink of the grave by the improper administration of mercury. Within this period upwards of eight thousand patients have experienced its salutary effects. With the medicine is given, a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible.
Infalible ague and fever drops.
A long eulogium on the virtues of this medicine is unnecessary, as the money will be returned if the patient is not relieved, it never having failed in many thousand cases, not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a bottle and number not half a bottle.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, January 18.
A letter from Coblenz says, that every thing is preparing for the passage of the Rhine at different points. One column will go by Ehrenbreitstein, while the major part will pass the river at Mayence. A great many pieces of artillery as well as ammunition and provisions had crossed before the 7th January, and several corps of troops had also crossed to the right bank near Mayence. On the other side, the Austrian army is stated to be encamping every day on the banks of the Mein and the Nidda, and it appears that the war will soon redden the waters of the Rhine.
If we may believe letters from the Canton of Luntz, the Austrians are obliged to evacuate the Grisons for want of provisions.

The account of the defeat of the Grand Vizier's army is repeated in the French papers, and rendered not improbable by what is stated in the official details of general Kleber.

The earl of Chatham, it is now mentioned in the first circles, is to go as Governor-General to India, and to take out with him a constitution, for the better government of our extended territories in that quarter. This constitution is said to be something similar to that of Jamaica, as there is to be a legislative council, to deliberate on, and provide for every local purpose, and whose laws are to be of full effect when they have received the sanction of the governor-general.

An anonymous correspondent transmits the following, to which we give a place, without pledging ourselves to its accuracy. A report of a change of administration was very current in the city yesterday.
In consequence of the opinion a great personage has formed respecting the failure of the Dutch expedition, Mr. Dundas on Thursday night sent a letter, offering to resign his office of war minister, which will prevent their meeting so often in the closet. This change, our correspondent says, will lead to the following consequence: Mr. Dundas will be created a peer; the board of control to be new modelled in form of a secretary of state's office for India affairs; Mr. Dundas at the head, Mr. Canning second in command, to move all the estimates, papers, &c. in the house of commons, on India affairs, and to be trained up to succeed Mr. Dundas eventually.

CORK, January 9.
The report in circulation in London, for in the absence of a better authenticated intelligence even reports are not to be neglected, is, that ministers are resolved on another continental expedition, to assist the royalists in the Western Provinces of France. Mr. Pitt is said to have a conference with Monsieur, respecting the best means of supporting the Chouan insurrection, by sending over immediately the most approved emigrant officers, and afterwards making a descent. British and Russian troops are to be employed, but under the command of a Russian general, and some say Suwarow. Sir Charles Grey, and Lord Moira, are both mentioned as the English generals in chief. The troops destined for Ireland are said to be countermarched, and the brigades, lately formed on the Dutch expedition, are quartered near each other, to be ready for embarkation at the shortest notice. Of a similar complexion with these rumors, for they really amount to very little more, is that which makes Buonaparte harbor the sanguinary idea of giving up the officers, and property of the Chouans to the soldiers, and others, who shall seize on, and massacre these unfortunate men; unless in ten days they deliver up their arms, and the stores with which we have supplied them. We will not so far dignify human nature as to attribute, for a moment, so atrocious a conception even to Buonaparte.
All that is certain on this subject amounts to this, that four frigates have already landed their cargoes of arms and ammunition in the Chouan country, and several other vessels of war are now ready to sail for the same destination. The Chouan chiefs pretend to negotiate with the new government of France; but it is probably the only means to gain time. To distract the French councils, and weaken their efforts on the real theatre of the war, it is perfectly politic in Great-Britain to threaten an invasion in Brittany; and, by way of diversion, even to carry it into effect. The port of Brest is situated in a Peninsula, the isthmus of which, from
L'Orient to St. Brieux, is not more than 30 geographical miles over. Could a force be landed, sufficient to occupy this Peninsula, even for a few days, the French fleet must either come out, and risk an engagement, or be shut up in their own harbor. But lay the opponents of all continental expeditions, this attempt would be equally unsuccessful as all those we have ever been engaged in. Granted;—and yet it might be perfectly proper to undertake it. For if it obliges the French to keep at home an army, suppose of 50,000 men, who would otherwise be fighting at the frontiers; even the apprehension of failing in it ought not to deter us from undertaking it. Possessed of the undoubted empire of the sea, we should, on the contrary, endeavor to convert the land force we maintain to the general advantage of the common cause. That an immense establishment of between two and three hundred thousand men, besides the Russian auxiliaries, should be solely kept up for the purpose of home defence, now that our fleets alone are equal to the task of repelling invasion, is inconsistent with common sense. Either, therefore, the army must be reduced, or what is more eligible perhaps, employed effectually to the annoyance of the common enemy, and that too, in the most vital and vulnerable quarter; for the Chouan country cuts Brest entirely off from the rest of France.
MUNICH, January 5.
It is now certain, that 110,000 Russian troops are to proceed to the Rhine. The Russian army under the command of Suwarow, which is at present in Bohemia, will enter the Bavarian territory on the 2d of February.

FRENCH REPUBLIC.
The First Consul to the Army of the West. Paris, 15 Nivose—Jan. 5.
SOLDIERS,
The government has taken measures to enlighten the inhabitants so long misled in the western departments. Their claims were heard before their sentence was pronounced. Their complaints were attended to, because their grievances were justifiable. But the mass of the well disposed inhabitants have laid down their arms. There are now but robbers, emigrants and hirelings of England, Frenchmen hired by England! This could not be done but by men without foresight, without heart, and without honor. March against them; you will not be called upon to shew any great exertion of valour. The army is composed of more than sixty thousand brave men—Let me learn shortly that the chiefs of the rebels have lived. Let the generals shew the example by their activity. Glory is only to be acquired by fatigues. If it could be acquired by residence in great towns, or in good quarters, every man would be in possession of it. Soldiers, whatever rank you occupy in the army, you shall always be accompanied by the gratitude of the nation. To be worthy of it, you must brave the intemperance of the seasons, the frost, the snow, the excessive cold of the nights. You must surprise your enemy at break of day and exterminate those wretches who are the dishonour of the French name. Make a brief but brilliant campaign. Be inexorable to the brigands, but observe a severe discipline.

RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the President of the United States be requested to present to Captain Thomas Truxtun, a Golden Medal, emblematical of the late action between the United States' frigate Constellation, of thirty-eight guns, and the French ship of war, La Vengeance, of fifty-four; in testimony of the high sense entertained by Congress of his gallantry and good conduct in the above engagement, wherein an example was exhibited by the Captain, Officers, Sailors and Marines, honorable to the American name, and instructive to its rising navy.
And be it further resolved, That the conduct of James Jarvis, a Midshipman in said Frigate, who gloriously preferred certain death to an abandonment of his post, is deserving of the highest praise, and that the loss of so promising an officer is a subject of national regret.

PROPOSALS
By WILLIAM COBBETT,
For importing the following periodical publications:
 1. The British Critick;  2. The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine;  3. The Gentleman's Magazine;  4. Le Mercure Britannique, or The British Mercury. 
THE British Critick is a regular Review of all the works published in Great Britain; it is conducted with great impartiality and ability, and of the numerous publications of the kind which do now appear, and which have appeared in Great Britain; it is universally allowed to be the best.
[Price 50 Cents.]
The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine is as its title seems to indicate, rather more confined, as to the nature of its subjects, but it certainly is not less calculated for extensive utility. This work is divided into four departments: 1 Original Criticism—2 A Review of the other Reviews—3 Occasional Essays, in prose and verse—and 4th, A Monthly Summary of History and Politics. Every six months it has a supplement, containing a review of foreign works, not forgetting those of America. The Anti-Jacobin dwells less on subjects which are merely literary and scientific, than on those which have a more immediate influence on society. With a bold and masterly hand, it corrects the blunderings of error, traces the intricate windings of misrepresentation, and strips off the mask of hypocrisy. The avowed champion of the church and the state, it spares the enemies of neither, whether open or secret; and, scorning the pusillanimous defensive, upon which the friends of truth have too long acted, it carries on a continual and vigorous offensive warfare against anarchy, immorality, and irreligion, and thus establishes by its uniform conduct, its right to the title it has assumed.
[Price 50 Cents.]
The Gentleman's Magazine, a work stamped with the approbation of three score years, consists chiefly of communications from antiquaries and cultivators, and of original essays, in verse and prose written by the most learned and ingenious men in the kingdom, and embracing by turns, almost every subject interesting to man. The miscellaneous part of the work is followed by a selection of authentick foreign and domestick intelligence, including official reports, state-papers, and an abstract of the proceedings in parliament; next comes a very copious obituary, being not merely a list of deaths, but a valuable series of biography; to which is added, a Meteorological Diary and Table, a Bill of Mortality for London and its environs, a table of the average prices of corn, and of the Ricks, & every day in the month: So that this work must ever be an entertaining, and useful companion, not only to those who are of the learned professions, commonly so called, but to every man, whatever may be the subject of his study, or the object of his pursuit.
[Price 40 Cents.]
Le Mercure Britannique, or British Mercury; by Monsieur Mallet Du Pan. This work, of which one number is published every fortnight, in French and in English, commenced in August 1798, and is continued with increasing spirit and celebrity. It is both historical and critical; it contains a summary, and is the repository of all the important events, established facts and public instruments, which relate to the present era; it investigates points of fact, of policy, and national rights; it extends its view over all the nations of Europe, examines the conduct and discloses the motives of their respective courts; it is in short a brief and comprehensive history of the times, equally remarkable for the elegance of its style, the profundity of its remarks, and the soundness of its principles.
[Price 50 Cents.]
These four works comprise every thing useful in the periodical way. Gentlemen may subscribe for all, or for either, of them. The first order is intended to be sent off on the 1st of May next; the successive numbers will be received at New York in two months upon an average after, their publication in London; so that those who are subscribed for on or before the 1st of May, will be received in September; after which they will with very little irregularity, come to hand once a month, the importer having made such arrangements as cannot fail of securing punctuality on the part of his correspondents.
Subscriptions will be received from any part of America, by J. W. FENNO, Philadelphia. No advance is required. The prices are but four cents a number higher than in London. April 3.

MAP OF NEW-JERSEY.
THE commissioners appointed for the purpose of circulating Subscription papers, to the proposed plan of procuring an accurate Map of New-Jersey, immediately after their appointment transmitted printed copies of the plan to various persons in the several counties of this state, and in the cities of New-York and Philadelphia, and since that time, through the medium of the public press, have requested the gentlemen entrusted with those papers, to return the number of subscribers by them respectively procured, to James Satter, Esq. at Trenton, on or before the 6th day of February last. The number of subscribers received, does not amount to two thousand, the commissioners did not conceive themselves authorized to fix a day for the meeting of the company; nevertheless being of opinion from respectable information, that the actual subscriptions are nearly, if not fully, adequate to the complete organization of the company, if they could be ascertained by regular returns, and being convinced that a trading degree of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the subscription lists, would enable them to carry the intention of the subscribers into effect, they have by the unanimous advice and consent of the subscribers, whom they have been able to consult, fixed on the 24th day of May next, being the 2d day of the sitting of the supreme court, for a meeting at the State House in Trenton, for the purpose of electing five Trustees and a Treasurer, if the number of subscribers should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to secure the attainment of an object so useful to the state.
From the universal approbation exhibited by their fellow-citizens, at the commencement of this undertaking, it was to be expected that the subscriptions returned, would have ensured its immediate execution, and the copiousness are pursued if proper attention is paid to the procuring of subscriptions, to their punctual return at the time fixed for the meeting, and to the attendance of the subscribers, either in person or by proxy, that no further delay will take place in commencing the operations of the company, in time for their execution during the course of the ensuing summer.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 4.
[By Particular Desire.]
The following verses written for the 23d of February 1806, by a Lady in Virginia, were enclosed by her friend to a Member of Congress.
HUSH'D be the plaintive sigh of private woe— A nation's tears—a world's—unbounded flow! The brave, the wife, the great, the good, no more! Our guardian Savior, hark! how all deplore!!
Oh! Washington! best man! to whom was given Here to display the attributes of Heaven!
Just, merciful, affectionate, benign! How round our hearts does thy remembrance twine!
Whither we view thee on the unanguish'd field, Oppression's scourge—thy country's glorious shield! Or in life's private walks, thy virtues trace— We still behold thee foremost in the race!
Yes! fit of men! from days of earliest time, New, & did thy equal grace this mortal clime! For who like thee thro' the hidioric page, In virtue rip'ning as you grew in age!
Musa in gentle arts of peace excell'd And youthful Rome a Father's care beheld! But he like thee no atonist toils sustained, No laurels in the field of glory gain'd!
A Conqueror, Cæsar, with'd unbounded power And Alexander o'er mankind to tower— Far other thoughts (by God-like mind engag'd, No wild ambition in thy bosom rag'd? Instinct store mankind to bless and serve,— Ne'er did thy conduct for a moment swerve— But sought us how to live; and ("oh! too high" The price for knowledge) taught us how to die! From earliest youth to thy last hour the fame; Supreme o'er all is thy immortal name! Amid the crush of worlds shall angels sing, Thy radiant virtues to the eternal king,— Attending Myriads join with loud acclaim! And endless glory crown thy deathless name!
MR. FENNO.
IT is certainly a most interesting spectacle for the people of America, to behold their rights and privileges guarded and defended by a Messieurs Duane, Dallas and Cooper, against the encroachments of about thirty eminent characters, chosen from various quarters of the Union, and all-acted together for constitutional purposes; many of whom, although of great talents and experience amongst us, have never as much as seen a foreign country, and of consequence far below the baucure , of present convulsive objects and pursuits. Whilst their antagonists, the above respectable triumvirate, are deeply versed in all the arena of revolutionary schemes, both foreign and domestic; they can defy democracy in its embryo, and trace, with astonishing accuracy, its progress through every stage of revolutionary progress, until the final explosion, and with the same ease and certainty, whether past, present or to come—nay, 'tis said that one of them has actually invented an ingenious instrument called the Revolutionometer , after the manner of the Pyrometer of Wedgewood , by which he can determine the state of the public mind on those subjects, with the same precision as Mr. Rittenhouse could have told the state of the atmosphere, or Dr. Rush, the paroxysm of a fever.—What a glorious acquisition to our country is the possession of such State Physicians!
QUACK.
Captain BARRY, in the frigate United States , is arrived in the Delaware; and yesterday afternoon he came himself to this city.
He has brought dispatches from Messrs. Ellsworth and Davis, our Envoys to the French Republic, dated the 10th of February, at Burgos, in Spain. They had received, the day before, a letter from M. Talleyrand, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, covering their passports; expressing impatience for their arrival at Paris, and informing them that the form of their letters of credence (which were addressed to the Executive Directory) would be no obstacle to the opening of negotiations.
The Envoys arrived at Lisbon the 27th of November, and after some detention in the Tagus by contrary winds, sailed from thence for L'Orient on the 21st Dec. but encountering, for three weeks, violent and adverse winds in their attempts to gain that place, they were at last constrained to make the first safe port in Spain; and they arrived on the 11th of January, at Coruna, whence they dispatched a courier to Paris, for their passports; and at Burgos received an answer, as above mentioned.
[We understand the route from Coruna to France, is by way of Burgos, Victoria, and St. Sebastian, to Bayonne, the nearest French port, and from thence to Paris.]
Mr. Charles Lee, attorney general of the United States, has been appointed one of the commissioners to adjust certain matters between the state of Georgia, and the United States, in room of Samuel Sitgreaves, Esq. gone to England.
Yesterday morning commenced the sitting of the circuit court of the United States, for the district of New-York.
ENERGETIC PATRIOTISM. —The wife of Mr. EDMUND BRADLEY, of East-Haven, was delivered the 12th ult. of three fine children; this industrious matron has given the community nine members at four births; and fifteen in the whole.
NEW YORK, April 4.
Another instance of American gallantry.
By the Schooner Eliza , Captain Fairchild, arrived here yesterday morning from the Havana, we are informed that the ship Nancy , Captain Joy, of Boston, had just arrived at that port. The Nancy on the 25th of February, in lat. 22, long. 58, fell in with a French privateer, of 14 guns, and full of men. The Nancy mounts 10 guns, and had 27 men. An engagement was immediately commenced, which continued, off and on, for 24 hours, during which time the privateer made three, most desperate attempts to board the ship, and was actually foul of her for three hours at one time; and though every exertion was made to board her, yet, such was the active bravery of the American Tars, that they kept off the enemy with pikes, cutlasses, &c. great numbers of whom fell lifeless from the shrouds and bowprit on deck and into the ocean. While one part of the Nancy's crew were thus defending themselves, the other were employed in planting shot into the privateer, and, from her shattered condition, there is little doubt of her having gone down, as she was not to be seen in the morning. As their separation was in the night, and as the privateers fails and rigging, as well as those of the ship, were almost all cut away, it renders the improbability of her escape more strong. The privateer must have lost many. The Nancy had one man killed, and four wounded.
This news may be depended on, for the mate of the Eliza noted it from the mouth of Captain Joy.
The trial of LEVI WEEKS, says the Commercial Advertiser, for the Murder of JULIAN ELMORE SANDS, which came on before the court of Oyer and Terminer, on Monday last, ended this morning about half past two o'clock. The vague reports which had been in circulation from the time of her body being discovered, until the hour of trial had irritated the public mind in such a manner as to draw to the place of justice a large concourse of people, and rendered it somewhat difficult at first for the court to proceed to business.
After the examination of the witnesses which occupied two whole days, the council for Mr. Weeks, without a single remark upon the testimony, submitted his case to the charge of the court. Mr. Chief Justice Lansing, after commenting on the evidence, delivered to the Jury the unanimous opinion of the Court that Mr. Weeks was not guilty. The Jury, which was as respectable as ever appeared in this city, retired, and after appointing a foreman, returned in less than four minutes, a verdict of NOT GUILTY .
It must be a pleasing circumstance to this young man, whose character on the trial appeared irreproachable and uncommonly amiable, and to his respectable connections, that he does not owe his acquittal to the eloquence of counsel, but solely and entirely to the clear and unequivocal proof he produced of his innocence.
After so fair and impartial a trial, it is hoped that those who have entertained any suspicions, which have been very improperly excited on this occasion, will not only divest themselves of them, but that this young man will be fully and completely restored to the standing in society which he has so unfortunately maintained.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, April 2.
Mr. Speaker laid before the house a letter from the Secretary of the treasury, inclosing a report on the petition of Benjamin Wells, and a counter petition of the inhabitants of Fayette county, Pennsylvania. The report, which is favorable to Mr. Wells, was referred to the committee of claims, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Davis, from the select committee to whom was referred the petition of Abraham Bell, made a report, that the prayer of the petitioner ought not to be granted; which was committed to a committee of the whole house, and made the order of the day for tomorrow.
Mr. Davis called up for consideration the following resolution:
Resolved , That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of extending the provisions contained in the act of Congress passed the 12th April, 1798, relative to allowing compensation to the widows and orphans of the late Col. John Harding, and Major Alexander Trueman, deceased, and that they report by bill or otherwise.
After some debate, the resolution was modified, so as to read. "That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of making further provision by law, for the relief of the widow and orphans of the late Col. John Harding, and the orphan daughter of the late Major Alexander Trueman, and that they report by bill or otherwise."
Mr. Griswold then moved, that the resolution be referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Rutledge objected to this motion. He did not consider this as a claim against the United States, but as an act of justice and humanity required at their hands; and insisted the provision made by law for the support of the daughters of the Count De Grasse. In his opinion, meritorious services rendered by the parent, demanded that provision should be made for his children.
Messrs. Bird and Dana also spoke against this reference, and Messrs. Kitchen, Nicholas and Macon in favor of it.
The motion was lost—ayes 30. The resolution was then agreed to—ayes 57; and a committee of three appointed for the purpose.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims, made a report on the petition of Joshua Johnson, Esq. who prayed compensation for sundry expenses and disbursements by him made, while acting as Consul of the United States at the port of London. The report states, the powers vested by law in the Department of State, being competent to the settlement of the accounts of the memorialist, the special reference of the Legislature is unnecessary, and therefore, that the petitioner should have leave to withdraw his petition.
In this report the house concurred. The bill sent from the Senate, for the relief of Jonathan Canfield, was read a first and second time, and committed to the select committee appointed on the subject of caveats and lost certificates.
Mr. Sewall, from the committee to whom was referred the petitions of Thomas Burling and others, John Collier and others, and Cato West and others, of the Mississippi territory, made report in part, which was counted for Monday next.
A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their secretary, notifying that the Senate have passed a bill for the relief of Jonathan Canfield, to which they request the concurrence of this house.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims, made report on the petition of John M'Vickar, who prayed compensation for a quantity of rum appropriated for public use in the year 1777. The report states, that the assistant commissary general gave his private obligation for the rum in question, took a receipt, and has been allowed therefore in the settlement of his account with the United States; that though he may not have paid his obligation, it was a transaction between the parties interested, in which the United States ought not to interfere, and that the petition ought not to be granted.
Thursday, April 3.
Mr. Rutledge obtained leave of absence from the services of the house for three days. On motion of Mr. Harper, the house came to the following resolution:
Resolved , That a committee be appointed to enquire and report by bill or otherwise, whether any and what further provisions are necessary to be made relative to sales of real estate in satisfaction of judgments against persons indebted thereto.
Mr. Harper, from the committee of ways and means, brought in a bill, making appropriation for the military establishment of the United States, in the year 1800—which was committed for Monday next.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill for the better government of the navy, and to repeal the act heretofore made for that purpose—Mr. Harper in the chair.
After making sundry amendments to the committee role, and on the question shall the bill be engrossed for a third reading. Mr. Randolph moved for a commitment of the bill, on the ground that some of its provisions were unconstitutional.
After some observations from Mr. Parker, the motion was negatived—and the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to morrow.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims, made a report on the petition of Benjamin Stites, of the County of Hamilton, in the N. W. territory, who prayed for payment for two several parcels of corn sold and delivered to the quarter-master-general in the year 1795. This petition was supported by the affidavit of the said Benjamin Stites, the petitioner, who made oath before Judge Symmes, that he had never received payment for the said corn. On application at the treasury department, the committee reports, that they found he had been paid, and had given a receipt for the money, within three days after the delivery of the corn.—The committee therefore recommended that the petition should be rejected.—In this report the house concurred. Adjourned.

WATER-OFFICE.
Centre Square, February 5, 1800.
IN compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with my own inclinations, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought reasonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the curiosity of the citizens, by shewing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary exclusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper.
