was desirable that when the house went into this subject, they should do so with as much unanimity as possible.
Mr. NICHOLAS justified what he had before observed with respect to the letter of our commissioners, which (he said) contained no facts, but referred to their former communications, and again urged the impropriety of going into the business at present.
Mr. RUTLEDGE could not agree with the gentleman from Virginia that the letter from our Commissioners contained no facts, upon which the house could deliberate. In his opinion it contained a very strong, extraordinary and melancholy fact. It informed us that on the 8th of January our commissioners had not been received by the French republic, and although they had been near four months at Paris, they still continued to exhibit the strange and humiliating spectacle of the representatives of an independent people soliciting in vain to be heard. If the late communication from the President had not been received, and the house remained ignorant of the situation of our mission to France, it would be expedient to adopt the measures which were now attempted to be brought before the committee of the whole on the state of the union; for all that was pressed for at present was, to have our unfinished frigates completed and equipped, and an additional appropriation for the protection of our ports, harbors and sea-coasts. With respect to the frigates, the house would recollect that when a bill to appropriate for the finishing of them was called up some weeks ago, its consideration was postponed for the purpose of obtaining information about the expenditures which had already taken place with respect to them; the bill was then postponed because the gentleman before him from New York (Mr. Livingston) wanted information from the war-office; at his request a committee was raised for the purpose of obtaining it; and notwithstanding the zeal and anxiety shown by the gentleman from New York, three weeks had elapsed without the committee's having been called together. With respect to the necessity of some defence for our coast, it was so palpably essential that he could not conceive why any gentleman could wish to postpone the necessary measure until we should hear further from France; the documents upon every gentleman's table not only justified the going immediately into some measures of defence, but rendered it absolutely necessary; of all these documents he would call the attention of the house to one only; that was so strong as to render it unnecessary to notice others; it was the communication received through the Executive, from the governor of South Carolina, in which we are informed of the gross violation of our neutral rights, in the burning of an English ship in the harbor of Charleston. The governor says this was the act of a pirate; he does not give it as his own opinion, that the crew of this vessel were pirates, but speaks positively, and says they were, that he was persuaded of it. If then, in addition to the multitude of newspaper information, we have this official account of the coast of a state, in the neighborhood of whose coast there is much wealth, being infested by pirates, surely it is necessary to go into some measures of defence. But the gentleman from Virginia will wait for more information: he wants to know what our commissioners wrote and did anterior to the 8th of January; this information might gratify the curiosity of gentlemen, but it certainly was not necessary; the house knew the result of our commissioners having been at Paris some months, it knew that they had not been received by the French government and had no expectation of it. This information was public, it was before our constituents; they were waiting with impatience and anxiety to know what congress would do. Mr. R. wished to put an end to their impatience; he wished to satisfy in some measure the honor of his country, and he wished to give some protection to her much exposed interests.
Mr. HARTLEY said, the House might safely go into a committee of whole on the state of the Union. A Resolution for equipping the frigates was the first in order, and he supposed there would be no objection to taking up that subject. The purchasing of vessels would be another consideration. He believed the people were much surprised at the delay which had taken place in this business. When we had a dispute with Great Britain, he said, an Envoy Extraordinary was sent to that country, and our differences were accommodated; but the French refuse to receive our Commissioners, which is a proof that they must despise this country, and he feared it would be necessary to take very strong measures before Congress rose. At present, he supposed, there would be no objection to the taking of measures for the protection of our coast.
(Debate to be continued.)
THURSDAY—MARCH 15.
Mr. Sewall reported a bill making an additional appropriation for the provision and support of a Naval Armament, which was committed for tomorrow.
A message was received from the President of the United States, informing the house that he had approved and signed the act for building a light-house on Eaton's Neck, and to the bill providing for the widows and orphans of certain deceased officers.
A message from the Senate informed the house that they had passed the bill for the relief of Sylvanus Crowell.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims, made an unfavorable report on the petition of Giles Wolcott, which was concurred in.
Mr. Craik reported a bill making an appropriation for completing the buildings necessary for the accommodation of the government at the city of Washington, which was committed for tomorrow.
The bill supplementary to the act establishing the judicial courts of the United States, was read a third time, and the yeas and nays were called on the question of passing. It will be recollected that this bill originated upon a resolution brought forward by a member from New-York (Mr. Livingston) in order to provide for the trial of cases in which two states are concerned, in the next adjoining state, in order to obtain an impartial trial. What gave rise to the bill was a cause
which is now pending between the states of New-York and Connecticut: After considerable debate the yeas and nays were taken as follows.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, March 16
On Wednesday last, a number of the federal citizens of the northern liberties met together at the sign of the President of the United States, to partake of an elegant dinner, and indulge themselves in the communication of patriotic sentiments and good wishes to their happy government. Altho' the company was numerous, consisting of about seventy good men and true, the utmost harmony and sobriety prevailed—Shouts indeed went forth, but they were the shouts of Americans, glowing with the love of their country, and a detestation of its enemies—Our worthy senator and fellow citizen, Benjamin R. Morgan, attended by invitation, and some respectable gentlemen from the city.
After dinner the following toasts were drank with true American enthusiasm.
 1. The President of the United States—May he continue wise in counsel and firm in action, in the support of the rights and interests of his country. (Nine cheers.)  2. GEORGE WASHINGTON—The savior and ornament of his country, whose presence gave vigor to the arm of war, and honor to the councils of peace. (Nine cheers.)  3. The People of the United States—May their virtue give energy to the wisdom of their government. (Three cheers.)  4. The Constitution of the United States—The reward of difficulty, danger, and the blood of patriots; may we never suffer this sacred deposit of our rights to be corrupted by pretended friends, or violated by unprincipled foes. (Six cheers.)  5. The Federal County of Delaware—May their political importance never diminish, while their political integrity remains. (Six cheers.)  6. The County of Philadelphia—May the influence of order and good government continue to increase until their ascendancy shall be undisputed. (Six cheers.)  7. The patriotic Committee of the Senate of Pennsylvania, who investigated with patience and impartiality, and decided with firmness, on the sacred right of suffrage. (Nine cheers.)  8. The Love of our Country—Pure and unmixed with foreign influence, domestic faction, or groundless discontent. (Six cheers.)  9. The true Friends of our Independence—May they espouse like the declared enemy, and the treacherous, rapacious, and domineering friend. (Three cheers.)  10. The Senate of the United States—The inflexible supporters of the constitution, and staunch defenders of its rights. (Nine cheers.)  11. The House of Representatives of the United States—May they not forget there is a spirit in the American people that declines dishonorable submission, and will refuse unprovoked insults. (Three cheers.)  12. The Executive Branch of the Federal Government—May every unconditional encroachment on its rights, be repelled with dignified firmness. (Three cheers.)  13. Our Commissioners to France—May the dignity of their department put to shame the rudeness of their reception. (Three cheers.)  14. May those who have no interest in our happiness, have no influence in our affairs. (Six cheers.)  15. Our Federal Friends in Congress—May their patriotic exertions be rewarded by the success of their measures. (Six cheers.)  16. While our country is an asylum for the oppressed, may she not become a refuge for the wicked. (Six cheers.) 
At fun set, the American colours which had been suspended from the front of the house, unblended with those of any foreign nation, were introduced into the dining room, midst incessant shouts.
Volunteer by Col. Gurney—May the standard of America never be unfurled in vain, and may we never be seen to rally round any other. (Innumerable cheers.)
Volunteer Toasts. Timothy Pickering—The able and undaunted afterer of his country's rights. (Three cheers.)
Oliver Wolcott—The virtuous statesman and able financier. (Three cheers.)
May the same spirit by which the independence of America was established in 1776, be found ready to support it in 1798.
The friends of good order in the Northern Liberties—May they always understand their interests and support their rights. (3 cheers.)
Our friends in the District of Southwark—Thanks for their exertions, and joy for their success.
After Mr. Morgan had retired—Benjamin R. Morgan, the choice of the people. (3 cheers.)
Volunteer by Mr. A. Brown—May the good men of the Northern Liberties never be frightened with painted coffins, or all the hosts of Israel.
MARRIED—Last evening, by the Rev. Dr. Rogers, GEORGE WILSON, Esq. of Millis county, of the Senate of Pennsylvania, to the amiable Miss ISABELLA WHITE, of this city.
From the Aurora of this morning, When JOHN Q. ADAMS, the son of our President was taken from the Hague, and sent to Berlin on a new appointment with a new outfit, we suggested, that he would be made to perform the circuit through the Northern Courts of Europe, with a new outfit at each removal; as such business would be found more profitable than any he could follow at home, and as it was the duty of every father to provide handsomely for his son, especially when it could be done at the public expence. Our hint has been taken and JOHN Q. ADAMS has been appointed for Stockholm. This appointment was ratified by the Senate a few days ago, after a tough contest, in which several interesting questions arose, some of which were carried
by a bare majority. We are glad to find a stand made in Senate against a spirit of extravagance and partiality to glaring; it will teach Mr. Adams, that even some of his friends in the Senate have some regard to character and decency, and are not ready to go all lengths with him.
MR. FENNO. A more infamous attempt to deceive the public, was never made than was made in Baché's Aurora of this morning—The story of the appointment of John Q. Adams as minister with an outfit to the court of Sweden is a falsehood from beginning to end—And the author, whether Baché, or any other person, must lie at a cheap rate, who is not well paid for lies like that. Mr. Adams is appointed a commissioner, for the particular purpose of renewing with Sweden, a very valuable commercial treaty, which is about expiring—He has no salary, or pay annexed to his appointment—It is not probable he will leave Berlin to transact the business, but will renew the treaty with the Swedish minister at Berlin.
There was no question taken in the Senate upon or relating to the appointment, unless it were upon a question of postponement to the next day, in which there was not a majority as great as twenty to eight.
A MEMBER OF THE SENATE.
MR. FENNO. In Mr. Baché's paper this morning is detailed the fulfilment of a prophecy, which the Editor lays, we (meaning himself) made about John Q. Adams, when he was appointed Minister at Berlin: viz.—“When John Q. Adams the son of our President was taken from the Hague and sent to Berlin on a new appointment with a new outfit, we suggested that he would be made to perform the circuit through the northern Courts of Europe, with a new outfit at each removal, as such business would be found more profitable than any he could follow at home, and as it was the duty of every father to provide handsomely for his son, especially when it could be done at the public expence.—Our hint has been taken and John Q. Adams has been appointed for Stockholm.”
Thus far Mr. Baché's prophecy and fulfilment. Now, Sir, permit me to inform the public, thro' your paper that when John Q. Adams was appointed to Berlin, he had not a new outfit; other than a small sum which was scarcely sufficient to bear his expenses from the Hague to Berlin; Mr. Baché very well knows an outfit to a minister is generally understood to be one year's salary, and the law of the United States sanctions such an outfit—this was not given, and Mr. Baché knows the fact. Mr. Adams, when he received his commission for the Court of Berlin was at London, from which place he was preparing for his voyage to Lisbon, in pursuance of an appointment to that Court—he had taken a house there, purchased his furniture, and paid the fare for himself and wife; and the sacrifice he was forced to make, in changing his route for Berlin, was much more, including the actual expenses of the journey than the sum he received as an outfit, which has been published in all the newspapers as an item in the appropriations for that year.
Now, Mr. Adams has powers given him to negotiate a treaty with Sweden, and is not to receive a farthing addition, either as salary or outfit; nor is he to leave Berlin: This fact may not have been known to Mr. Baché, but if he has any candor, he will correct this error, if no more. The reproach, contained in the publication, of the President and his son, will be properly appreciated by the public, when they know the above facts. JUNIUS.
MR. FENNO. “The times” seem to be fast approaching that may again “try men's souls”—the call is loud for energetic exertions to combine the whole strength of our country; to make the best possible arrangements in every civil and military line; and above all, to put the finances in the best train—that by all these means we may be prepared to meet whatever evils or dangers lie before us. And, “musing in the God of our fathers,” we ought not to “fear what men can do unto us”—but with faith and duty defy the wolves and tigers of the earth and sea. Surely good men will now unite to promote the safety and general weal of their country—and not suffer party views or passions to influence their conduct. Union is a nation's strength, ornament, and wealth—America united, will ever command the respect of all nations; but if divided, will be a prey to all.
It is much to be regretted, Mr. Printer, that at this alarming period, there remains any unsettled claims for services during the revolution war; and we are sorry to observe severe censures upon government on account of the new emission bills of credit , as they are called. It is to be hoped this claim may have a full and candid discussion in the senate, where we are told it now is, that all impartial men may be satisfied with the justice of our government. The vote of the house, I must confess, Mr. Printer, was not supported by such clear evidence of equity as I could wish. The question is, “Is not an endorsement which promises to ensure the pay of the bill, and to pay the interest annually in bills of exchange,” an absolute contract, equally binding on every citizen? All judges of law say it is. Therefore it must be obligatory on “a government of laws.” It has been said however that a condition is expressed in the act of Congress of the 18th March 1798, in regard to the principal—and that from the tenor of the whole act, it is evident congress intended the respective states should pay both interest and principal of these bills. This was undoubtedly the fact; and had congress expressed in the endorsement a conditional promise, “that if the states should not be able to pay the interest, or the principal, the United States would pay it,” the late vote of the house might be fully justified. But such is not the fact; no condition is mentioned in the endorsement, therefore, in law, and in equity, it must be literally binding. Contracts, and notes for money, cannot be affected by any other act or acts of the signer, or endorser. Such obligations are complete, and distinct, and unrepeatable. Indeed no well regulated government ever evades such contracts, however arbitrary, because perfidy is more dangerous to a government, than any stretch of arbitrary power to extort by taxes, or forced loans. If this obligation should be referred to the judges of the supreme court, and the judicial power declared that the endorsement on these bills was in no degree obligatory upon the United States, it would
be more satisfactory to impartial men; as many men of the law have asserted that the endorsement is an absolute and perfect contract for the payment of that interest.
It appears to me, Mr. Printer, that this is a very serious subject as respects the honor and good faith of the nation, and more particularly at this time, when we may soon want all the strength, which the most permanent credit and best established character can give to the government. AN AMERICAN.

The sloop Sarah-Ann, Taylor, from Frederickburgh, Virginia, bound to this port loaded with wheat and tobacco, was cut away about the 17th of last month, and supposed all hands perished; as the captain's chest was picked up at sea by a vessel from the west Indies, which arrived yesterday, wherein was found the log-book of the Sarah-Ann, containing entries to the 15th ult. at which time it was mentioned he was a mere wreck. The captain of the west-India vessel saw several pieces of timber, &c. floating off Chincoteague shoals, which he supposed belonged to said sloop.

This day arrived ship Theresa, captain Boyle, 36 days from Bourdeaux. Captain Boyle left Bourdeaux the 3d of February, and brings Paris papers to the 20th January, and from Bourdeaux to January 27, which he has promised us a perusal of. He says two of the American commissioners, Messrs. Pinckney and Gerry, would leave Paris, one of whom would take passage in the Pomona, of Alexandria, which would sail in two weeks.
Mr. Marshall was to remain until circumstances ordered otherwise. The decree respected neutral vessels with British manufactures on board, had been ratified a few days previous to capt. Boyle's sailing. No military operation of importance had taken place, but the greatest exertions continued to be made for the invasion of England. From a perusal of the latest papers, we shall have it in our power to lay before our readers further details.
On the 30th of January, a report prevailed at Gibraltar, that Algiers had declared war against England.

Salisbury Estate.
THE Subscriber, proposing to contract his business, offers this Estate for sale, on moderate terms. On it are one Blast and three Air Furnaces, a complete Boring Machine, and a very good grist Mill, with two pair of stones; also a good Forge all in perfect repair, as are all the Water Works connected with these various branches. The Air Furnaces were lately built for the purpose of 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 excellency of the metal, which is superior to any in this country, and probably equal to any in the world; for not one of sixty-nine guns lately made, although some of the 24 were bored into 32 pounders, have failed on proving. The situation is very eligible, particularly for this branch of manufacture, and a place of arms lying in the State of Connecticut, and only 30 miles from several landings on the Hudson's river, and having every advantage that can result from a plenty of water 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 accommodated with all the stock and utensils, and have possession on or before the first of June next, and preparation may be made in the mean time for going into Blast immediately thereafter, for every part will be delivered in good order, with some coal, coke, &c. For terms, apply to Mr. Joseph Anthony, in Philadelphia; David Brooks, Esq. one of the Representatives in Congress for this State; Mr. David Waterman, on the premises, or to the proprietor in New-York.
