CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THURSDAY, JANUARY 11.
(Continuation of the Debate on granting further appropriations for the Frigates.)
Mr. Livingston said, he was one of those who had constantly voted, for such a navy, as he thought the protection of the commerce of the country required...
Mr. Sewall was surprised to hear the gentleman fall on, in a way which implied that money had been voted for the frigates...
Mr. Nicholas said, gentlemen seemed to take it for granted, that the question, whether the frigates should be finished, was before the committee...
The gentleman from New-York was right when he said the money for this object had been granted with facility...
Mr. Rutledge said, the reason given by Gentlemen for postponing this business was, that the appropriation already made had been enormous...
appropriated had been mispent, would they now refuse to appropriate a farther sum? All that was wanted, he said, to complete the frigates, was 35,000 dollars...
Mr. Williams replied to the enquiry of the gentleman just sat down, that though past sums had been mispent, he would consent to appropriate more...
Mr. Sewall read the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury, wherein he lays an appropriation on account of the Naval Department will be necessary.
Mr. Gallatin said, when he was up before, he had stated that it had never been the practice of the House to grant money unless an estimate was laid before them...
Mr. Harper said, as several gentlemen had expressed their intention of voting for this appropriation, when the estimates should be laid before the house...
Mr. Sewall produced a statement of the Secretary of War, lately made to the house, wherein he states that there is a deficiency of 35,000 dollars for the completion of the frigates.
Mr. Pinckney said, if he thought voting for this appropriation, would preclude an enquiry into past expenditures, and by that means to put the business upon a better footing...
A message was received from the Senate, informing the House, that they had passed the bills for the relief of the representatives of William Carmichael...
Mr. Cochran proposed the following resolution: "Resolved, that the committee of commerce and manufactures be directed to enquire into the propriety of allowing a drawback on goods exported to the British provinces in Canada..."
Armament, and report their opinion thereon to the house. Both were ordered to lie on the table. Adjourned.
FRIDAY - JANUARY 12. Mr. Bayard presented several other petitions from the state of Delaware, against changing the time of holding the courts...
Mr. Cochran called up the resolution which he laid yesterday upon the table for directing the committee of commerce and manufactures to enquire into the expediency of allowing a drawback on goods exported to Canada...
Mr. Gregg asked leave of absence for his colleague Mr. Hartley for ten days, that gentleman having received information after the house rose on Friday last...
This leave was granted; but not without some general observations from Messrs. Thatcher and J. Williams on the impropriety of the practice of asking leave in this manner...
Mr. Cochran asked and obtained leave of absence for a week.
Mr. Macon, from the committee of revision and unfinished business, moved that that part of their report which related to the expiring of an act declaring the concurrence of Congress to the appointment of an health officer...

The bill directing the secretary of war to place certain persons on the pension list, was read the third time and passed.
Mr. Evans said, that the attorney-general was put to very great expense in paying the postage of packets and letters which he had been particularly interested in...

Agreed to be referred to the committee on post-offices and post-roads. The amendment of the senate to the bill authorizing the payment of interest on a certificate due to Gen. Kosciuszko, was taken up.

Mr. Harrison moved that the report on the petition of sundry merchants of Peter-sburg, made at the last session, be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures - Agreed. On motion of Mr. Harper the house again went into a committee of the whole on the bill from the Senate allowing a compensation to the door-keeper of the Senate...
of Representatives of 260 dollars, being under consideration, Mr. Harper moved to amend the amendment by striking out 260 and inserting 252 dollars, which he proved, from a statement which he read, would bring his allowance to the same amount which had been paid to the door-keeper, calculating from commencement of the year 1794.
Mr. Tillinghast gave notice, that on Monday, he should bring forward a resolution for the appointment of a Committee to bring in a bill for the repeal of the law imposing a duty upon stamped vellum, parchment and paper. - Adjourned till Monday.
BOSTON, January 5, 1798. REVIEW OF THE LATE NEWS FROM EUROPE.
France, having concluded a peace with Austria, and according to the most recent non-official intelligence, finally adjusted terms with Portugal, has now no enemy on the continent for her soldiers.
France however, is still a formidable power, and probably dreading their sudden disbandment, avowedly contemplates an invasion of England.
Admiral De Winter says, that he was forced out by the French party, against his own judgment; for knowing the very bad state of his ships, and the indisposition of several of the crews...
LONDON, October 15. Admiral De Winter says, that he was forced out by the French party, against his own judgment; for knowing the very bad state of his ships, and the indisposition of several of the crews...
some objection to sailing, he did not doubt he should have been condemned, had he returned without a battle. Having performed his duty in the most gallant manner, he appears, since his capture, to be in very good spirits...
The number of the Dutch ships of war taken in the late engagement (eleven) is precisely the same as that taken in the year 1653...
The Dutch prizes are retreating at Yarmouth, with all possible expedition, in order that they may be in a safe state to be sent round the North.
The Ganges, of 74 guns, capt. M. Dowall, with five sail of the line and three frigates, have already re-placed Admiral Lord Duncan's squadron on their late station off the Texel.

REFLECTIONS ON MONROE'S "VIEW," No. VIII.
Upon reading the preceding letters, every one must be struck with the contrast which they present. If the indications, if the abject condescension, if the zeal of Mr. Monroe to serve the French republic on this occasion, excite painful sensations in the breast of every true American, the prudence, the independence of spirit, and the genuine patriotism which distinguished Mr. Jay, ought to be a source of heartfelt pleasure.
Our minister at Paris having misrepresented the mission to London, it was impracticable, if not impossible, that any treaty negotiated at Great Britain, would not have been the subject of complaints on the part of France. So hostile was France to Great Britain, that it would have objected to any treaty whatever, and therefore those who wished to defeat any and every treaty, would endeavour to do so anterior to its ratification. With this view, the committee of public safety were anxious to possess a copy of the treaty which was reported to have been negotiated, and they requested Mr. Monroe to furnish them with the treaty itself as soon as possible, declaring that it was the only means that would satisfy them concerning it.
What right had the committee to make this request? and why was it made in terms so full of intolence? The forms of our constitution are well known in France, and consequently, they knew that the treaty had not been ratified when they desired a copy, and it was for the purpose of enabling them to interfere with effect in our national contracts, that the demand was made. But they are not ashamed to accompany this unwarrantable request, with a declaration that a right of the treaty alone would satisfy them; in plainer words, that they would not believe any thing that Monroe our minister should tell them on the subject. That Mr. Monroe should be inflexible to any inuendo offered to his country by France; or that he should yield to its demands however improper, they who know his blind and fanatic attachments will suppose possible. But had he no feeling for his own honor, for his own reputation, when he was told by the committee, and in writing too, that nothing but the treaty itself would satisfy them, or in other words, they should not believe any thing he should say concerning it? To this demand, encroaching on our rights of sovereignty, and expressed in terms the most contemptuous, was no other answer to be given, than that he (Mr. Monroe) was then ignorant of the particular stipulations of the treaty, but he begged leave to refer them, as soon as he should be informed? He ought to have told the committee with manly candour, that the treaty could not be communicated in its present unfinished state to the councils of any foreign nation; and he might have repeated what by order of his government he had before told them, that no stipulation would be made inconsistent with the prior engagements of the United States to foreign nations; and he might have informed them on the authority of our envoy, that no such stipulations had been made.
The ex-minister was not satisfied with giving this evidence of his tame, mean-spirited deportment towards the committee; he went further, and made an effort to communicate an infolent and ill-intentioned request, by sending a special messenger to London for Mr. Jay, even although he was informed by Mr. Jay, that it was improper to publish the treaty without the express leave of government before it was ratified, and was offered a copy of the treaty in perfect confidence only. In his letter he tells Mr. Jay, that he had promised to communicate the treaty to the committee, who as allies, thought they were entitled to it, and said nothing less would satisfy them; for which purpose he had sent for it; and when this wise and steady statesman absolutely refused him a copy, for the very reason that induced the ex-minister to send for it, the refusal is taken sorely at heart, and is the subject of various and inconsistent complaints to the Secretary of State. At one time, he laments that he was not possessed of information that might be useful to our affairs in France; and in the same letter, dated 27th March 1795, says, if the communication had been made to him, he should have declared that on his own knowledge the treaty did not interfere with the prior engagements, but that being a mere project, subject to rejection, it ought not to be published; and that this declaration would have been satisfactory to the committee—(page 142). To Mr. Jay, however, when he applied for the treaty, he said that nothing less than the treaty itself would satisfy the committee; that he had promised it to them, and had sent for it for their use; and he even added, that as allies they thought they had a right to it. Under these inconsistencies, it is no wonder we find Mr. Monroe under constant embarrassment. When Mr. Jay offered the treaty to him in confidence, he refused to take it, saying it would not answer his ends, unless he could show it to the committee; and that his promise to them required him to communicate it whenever it should be in his power. It was then his own fault that he did not obtain, as he might have obtained, the treaty confidentially. If he had not been so kind and liberal in his promises, he would have got it, and on his own knowledge of it, he might have represented it truly to the committee. It is true, when our envoy was desired to communicate it, to enable Mr. Monroe to perform this promise, he with great propriety absolutely refused to do so. If he had complied, after he knew the design of the request, he would have been equally culpable with Mr. Monroe.
But the ex-minister affects to be perplexed relative to Mr. Jay's conduct, who after informing him that the treaty could not be published, offered to communicate the contents to him in confidence. This was perfectly consistent and proper in our envoy, who no doubt supposed it might be useful to our public affairs; that our minister at the French republic should confidentially know the situation of his country in relation to so powerful a nation as Great Britain; and who also believed it was neither prudent nor necessary that our minister at Paris should communicate to the French republic, whatever he knew concerning the United States. Another thing seems to the ex-minister very unaccountable, that Mr. Jay should offer to him the treaty and then deny it. Let it be remembered, he offered it in confidence and denied it after Mr. Monroe had stated that his engagements to the committee required him to lay the treaty before them whenever he got it; that it was impossible to communicate it confidentially.
As allies, it is said by the committee, they had a right to inspect the treaty we were making with Great Britain. Did France ever exhibit to the President of the United States any of her treaties, either before or after they were concluded? This idea to humiliate, does no
appear to have been disapproved, but even countenanced by our minister to the French republic; in his letter to Mr. Jay, where he seems to urge it as a reason for letting him have the treaty for the committee.
Disappointed in getting a copy of the treaty from our envoy, he still continued his exertions. When Major Pinckney was at Paris on his way to Madrid, our minister Monroe represented to him that France was inclined to give him every aid; he would desire it, and would also satisfy the committee that they were not injured by the treaty negotiated with Great Britain.
It was well known to Mr. Monroe, that nothing but a copy of the treaty (which he also knew was in possession of major Pinckney) would be satisfactory to the committee; and therefore one of the conditions mentioned to major Pinckney, on which the aid of France was to be expected, was the disclosure of the British treaty to the committee. It is thus Mr. Pinckney understood the proposition, and with great propriety he too refused to show the treaty to the committee, or to ask the aid of France in his negotiation. Let me cite from Mr. Monroe's letter to the Secretary of State, of 14th June 1795, what he says on this subject: "Whilst here I presented to his (major Pinckney) view what had passed between this government and myself upon the subject of his mission, assuring him from what I had heard and seen, that I was of opinion, in case he would explain himself to the committee upon that subject and express a wish, they would give what aid they could conveniently, in support of his negotiation; satisfying them at the same time, that they were not injured by Mr. Jay's treaty, they would do it. &c. &c." Mr. Pinckney was sensible of the benefit which the aid of this republic would yield in his negotiation, and wished it; but upon mature consideration he could not request such aid, without having previously exposed to its view Mr. Jay's treaty, and which he did not choose to do, for considerations delicacy forbade me to enquire into" (page 175).
After these unavailing endeavours to obtain a copy of the treaty for the committee of public safety, Mr. Monroe was obliged to acquiesce, and to wait with patience till the President and Senate should act upon it, unadvised by foreign councils. In endeavouring to defeat the final success of the mission to London, every motive seemed to have concurred in influencing his conduct in this transaction—his personal dislike to Mr. Jay, his devotion to France, his hatred of England, and above all, his love to himself. In this view, he has informed the public, that he very early foresaw if the treaty should be ratified, and not agreeable to France, that he should probably be recalled. If Mr. Monroe did foresee this, (and his penetration on this point I am not inclined to call in question) it is very evident that his self-love, or rather his anxious desire to remain at Paris, would prompt him to do every thing that would prevent any treaty with Great Britain from being fully confirmed—That any treaty, because it was well known to him that any treaty with that nation would be disagreeable to the French republic, and on this dependence, this foresight which Mr. Monroe thought he possessed, and which has explained his solicitude to get a copy of the treaty, will be a key to the sequel of his diplomatic conduct. It was not altogether to serve France, that the representatives of the United States descended to be the humble instrument of the committee, but to promote his own views—a thing not uncommon among the men who appear most devoted to the will of foreign nations.
SCIPIO.
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE
In the house of representatives of this state, on the 4th instant, petitions were presented from citizens of Northumberland, praying for a grant of money to open and improve a road from Mifflinsburgh, to the Knob Mountain; from citizens of the county of Philadelphia, praying for a turnpike road from this city to Reading, by the falls of the Schuylkill; from citizens of Washington county, praying that a new election district may be erected, comprehending Donegal and Tindall townships; and from the managers of the Delaware and Schuylkill navigation, praying for aid in the completion of their canal. The annual account of the Pennsylvania hospital was presented. A bill was reported supplemental to the act for incorporating a society for the relief of distressed and deceased pilots, their widows and children. The committee to whom it was referred, to consider of the best mode of disposing of the house built for the President, recommended that it be let on lease for four years. A committee was appointed, for bringing in a bill to authorize the county commissioners to keep a record of the roads. The house went into a committee of the whole, on the bill to authorize the governor to incorporate a company to erect a bridge over the Schuylkill, near the city of Philadelphia, and, after some discussion the committee rose, and had leave to sit again.
On the 5th instant, a petition was presented from citizens of New Hanover township, Montgomery county, for leave to raise 500 dollars by way of lottery to build a school-house. Reports were made in favor of the petition from Montgomery county for two new election districts; and of that from Dauphin county for leave to raise a sum of money by way of lottery to build a bridge across the Swetara creek. The report of the committee in favor of making a turnpike road through Germantown to Reading, was read a second time and agreed to, and a bill directed to be reported accordingly.
On the 6th inst, petitions were introduced from Montgomery county, praying for a new election district; and from the Managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital, containing a statement of the expenditures made on the new wing of the Hospital, and the deficiencies which remain, praying for further legislative aid. Report was made in favor of making Smithfield erect a public highway, and also in favour of Nathaniel Belkew in respect to his election. A bill was reported to enable the owners of the Bristol meadows to keep them in repair. The bill supplementary to an act for extending the power of Justices of Peace, and the bill to empower the Commissioners of Westmoreland county to appoint the assessors and assistant in sundry townships thereof for the purposes therein mentioned, were agreed to. Peter Baynton and Frederick A. Muhlenberg were nominated candidates for the Treasury ship of the State. The house proceeded to the further consideration of the resolution for the appointment of a commit-
tee to consider the propriety of continuing the act making further compensation to the Judges; after a lengthy debate, they adjourned without coming to a decision.
THEATRICAL COMMUNICATION.
THE attractions of the New Theatre, both for novelty and strength, were never more numerous than at the present season; and the consequence of the exertion and enterprise of the Managers, is accordingly displayed in a continued succession of thronged audiences. To ensure patronage, the most simple and obvious course is to merit it; and this cannot, perhaps, be better effected than by persevering efforts to render the stage what it should be, a school of eloquence, of life and manners—above reproach—unblamed by just censure.
The Opera of last evening was in many of its parts deserving the attention of the numerous audience it attracted. Abraham and At Home abounds with comic effect, and is adorned by some excellent songs and duets,—but the principal characters are only half drawn, while the want of moral good, the piece off with a flit. This play seems marked by an extreme inequality; and while some of its scenes attract by the hand of a master, others are alike incongruous and uninteresting. Capt. O'Neile is made the vehicle of many excellent sentiments; and they came with a manly energy from Hardinge. To Harwood and Bernard the audience were indebted for a la-go of delight; and the humours of Count Ispifillo played a vivacious and judicious part. Mrs. Hardinge displayed a vivacity and judgment, which gave the fair promise, and the songs of Mrs. Warell were exquisitely fine. Francis, and the other performers in general merit commendation for the correctness with which they acquitted themselves of arduous and difficult characters. The elegant scene representing the prison, and purgatory, to Miss Ann Cooper, is said to be a very just and natural representation.
MARRIED—On Thursday last by the Rev. Dr. Blackwell, Mr. STEPHEN CARMICK, of this city, to Miss SUSAN COZENS, daughter of capt. Daniel Cozens of New-Jersey.
On Thursday evening by the Rev. Dr. Blackwell, Mr. JOHN M'ELROY, of Bucks county, to Miss ANN COOPER, of this city.
EXTRACT.
"It has always been found of great use to a Physician to be of some sect of religion; he is in general pretty sure of those that be long to it; and of some other patients out of curiosity. He should be a Catholic, a Presbyterian, a Quaker, a Sandemanian, a Swedenborgian, or a Jew. The thee and thou of the late Dr. John Fothergill of London, was supposed to be worth two thousand pounds a year to him at least."
From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
MR. EDITOR.
On looking over a late European publication, I was forcibly struck with the following "paraphrase," it being applicable in many respects, both to the past and present principles and views of JACOBINS, in France, and of those in America.
PARAPHRASE
On the French ten commandments, as taught in all their Schools.
 I. No Gods we'll have, like fools of old, No Deities we'll own but gold.  II. Saints, images, you may purloin, And turn them into ready coin.  III. God's name we should no more adore, For all above us we abhor.  IV. No more on Sundays read or pray, For all religion's done away.  V. Regard no more what parents say, Each child is free to take its way.  VI. No more are ye refrain'd to kill, Cut throats, and murder whom you will.  VII. That tort adultery disown, Use all men's wives as your own.  VIII. Steal any thing you meet by chance, For thieving is now law in France.  IX. False witness bear in any thing, For truth is now considered sin.  X. Covet and take whatever you see, French Liberty makes all things free.  That the above "paraphrase" contains more of truth than satire, I believe few will dispute; excepting the Chronicle . From the false and exercise of these French tenets may heaven ever preserve us!
A FEDERALIST.
By this day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, Jan. 12.
By the Jay, Capt. Dyer, from Liverpool, we have received a few London papers of November, but they are not of later dates than before received; and are chiefly filled with Parliamentary Debates on the King's Speech. A Paper of the 11th Nov. is said to be received, but contains nothing materially new. The Josiah Collins failed 4 days before Capt. Dyer.
Mr. Bryan Edwards, in the British house of Commons, Nov 2d, in the debate on the answer to his Majesty's Speech, speaking of Lord Duncan's Victory, said "Amidst the rejoicing for such a display of our naval superiority, what sort of heart must not that be which could reflect, without sorrow upon the havoc of that day; which could meditate upon its advantages without feeling severely for the men who fell; which could without regret and horror, read the bloody detail in the Gazette, that register of a slaughter-house, that muster roll of Death?"
Major Elford, in reply, said, "he could not help expressing his disapprobation of the conduct of those gentlemen who endeavoured to mar and cloud the splendor of the late naval victory, by unseasonably enumerating the loss of the brave men who had fallen on that glorious occasion. It was neither just nor fair, and could only damp the spirit of the country, and embitter the joy which so proud a triumph must have naturally inspired."
PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) January 6. Mr. William Magee, who arrived from Canton in the ship Grand Turk, came to our town since our last. He informs, that on their homeward bound voyage, in the straits of Banca, they spoke the ship Eliza, of this port, late commanded by capt. William Page—capt. Carr (then commander) informed him, that on the 17th of April last, in the straits of Java, they discovered a Prow with Malays on board—supposing her a trading vessel, the capt. dispatched a
host to her, on which she came along side. The Linguist asked if they were traders, they answered in the affirmative, upon which he, with the captain, Thomas Page, and another seaman, went on board. Capt. Page observing some weapons, requested the Malay chief to give him one, which he did—on seeing some others of a more curious workmanship, he asked for one of them—on his stooping down to examine them, a Malay thrust a knife into his body. Capt. P. on receiving the wound sprang for his own vessel, but fell between her and the Prow into the water—the mate with considerable exertion got him into the cabin window—he lived about 40 minutes. On the captain's being wounded, the action became general. Thomas Page and the Linguist were killed on board the Prow; the Malay chief and 10 of his crew were killed, and in about half an hour they were beat off.—Few men have been more beloved than capt. Page; his amiable manners were peculiarly calculated to secure general esteem, and all who knew him bear testimony to his worth. To the public his loss is great; but to his family and more immediate connections it is irreparable.
The east end of the new Masonic Hall in this town is ornamented with an emblematic masterly piece of painting. The centre figure arrayed in royal robes, is of full size, representing that great oriental luminary who was the first eminent patron of the sublime art. This figure is seated in a chair of State, beneath a splendid canopy, illumined by the effulgent rays of the eye of omniscience. In each of the recesses on the right and left, are delineated in 7 feet figures his two illustrious contemporaries and able assistants, in a stile equally graceful and natural. The representation is inclosed by a bold masterly work in the foreground, composed of pillars, pilasters, capitals and arches; the whole forming a superb display of the pencil, which reflects high honour on the talents of the ingenious artist, brother George Sugden, and Mr. Gottlieb Gehring—as do the spacious hall and adjacent rooms, in point of elegance and size, on the Lodge of St. John, No. 1, Providence. Much praise is also due to Brother Caleb Ormsbee, the architect under whose able direction arose this pleasing assemblage of "Wisdom, Strength and Beauty."
