THE DEMOCRATIC MONKEY;
An Eastern Apologue.
THE Sanerats are a religious order of Priests in the kingdom of Siam. They are highly respected, and enjoy very considerable privileges, but they are wholly excluded from the secular concerns of the country: whenever they attempt to interfere (which they are apt to do) with the civil departments, their conduct is considered as irregular, and they are recalled to their duty.
Caban Naray, who governed Siam about a century ago, employed a singular device to punish the impertinence of one of these priests, who had undertaken to expostulate with his sovereign on his severity towards criminals. The monarch seemed to attend to the Sanerat's remonstrance very patiently; but, in a few days afterwards, he sent him an enormous Monkey to be kept at board—with strict orders that the animal should be treated kindly, and not restrained from doing any thing he pleased.
The Monkey, who was one of the most vicious of his kind, soon displayed his singular talents for mischief: there was not a piece of furniture in the house which he did not in a short time either break in pieces, or cover with his filth. But, besides spoiling the furniture, he flew at the priest, and every person who came to visit him, and did not quit them 'till he left the marks of his teeth on their hands or faces. The Sanerat was soon weary of his guest, and petitioned the king to be delivered from so troublesome an inmate. The Monarch, who was pleased with the success of his scheme, heard the petitioner with his wanted attention, and answered him as follows: "What, Holy Father, you have not patience enough to bear with the freaks of a single monkey, even for a few days; and yet you expect that I should perpetually overlook and pardon the crimes and insolence of a whole nation, who are a thousand times more malicious and dangerous. Begone, and from this time forward be more cautious of meddling with business, for which you are incompetent; but be assured that, although I am resolved to punish offences against the peace and order of the State with severity, I know also how to cherish and reward merit when I meet with it."
From the Lancaster Journal.
A correspondent in the paper printed by the Dicksons, (the corra "narrators" of the order of Procession) is much surprised that a committee were not appointed to wait on the governor at an early period, to request his attendance on Tuesday last, "I take the liberty to furnish the cause as follows: 1. That possibly the committee did not know the Governor lived in Lancaster. —No man will certainly think this an unreasonable surmise.
2. It is possible they might have thought that when a man descends from the high and exalted dignity of Chief-elect of a free state, to the blackguard exercise of branding 33,641 free electors with the epithets of "traitors, Tories, refugees, French aristocrats, British agents, or apostate whigs," he is not much entitled to the respect of his fellow-citizens. It is dignity that commands respect, and until we perceive something like dignity, we cannot consistently respect the officer nor the man.

The report made by the Secretary of War, to the President, and submitted by the President to Congress, we find upon enquiry, contains a greater variety of matter than was stated in the account we gave of it, taken from one of the daily papers. We shall, if it can be obtained, publish the whole, in some future paper.
It submits among other things, 1st. The establishment of a Military Academy, including as part of the system, a School for the Navy.
2d. A modification of the two Regiments of Artillerists and Engineers, in such manner, as to form in their stead, one regiment of Foot Artillery, one Regiment of Horse Artillery, and one Regiment of Engineers, and also to leave a considerable surplus of the expense of the existing regiments to be applied towards the support of the military Academy.
3d. To change the terms of enlistment, for the troops, yet to be raised, for the twelve Regiments of Infantry, so as to run for five years, or during the existing differences between the United States and the French Republic, unless sooner discharged, with a view to economy, by giving the power of transferring such, as may be so enlisted, when the specified differences no longer exist, to fill up the deficiencies in the old Regiments.
4th. To authorise the President at all times, to accept the services of Volunteer Companies, for the Provisional Army, limiting only the time, for which the engagement shall continue, after acceptance.
5th. Certain improvements in the militia system.
6th. A revision of certain parts of the articles of war.
7th. A view of the whole military force—constituting the army of the United States and its distribution.

The Directors elected, CHARLES PETTIT, Esq. President.
AT a respectable meeting of citizens specially convened at Hardie's Hotel, Market Street, on Saturday the 11th of January, 1800, for the purpose of considering the propriety of addressing the State Legislature by Petitions, on a Bill now before them, for appointing, by law, the mode of choosing Electors for electing a President and Vice President of the United States. Levi Hollingsworth was chosen Chairman, and Benjamin R. Morgan, Secretary.
The object of the meeting being offered to their consideration, and the reasoning heard for and against petitioning, the following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to.
Resolved, That on questions of a constitutional nature, the authority of the people is delegated by the constitution of this State to their representatives in the two branches of the Legislature, and that although the people have a right to express their opinions by decent petitions or memorials to their representatives, yet there is an impropriety in expressing this right on every occasion as it hath a tendency of assuming by the people the delegated authority vested by the constitution in their representatives.
Resolved, That we, confiding in the wisdom, patriotism and firmness of our State Legislature, confidently trust this important business with their deliberative wisdom, and determination, at the same time observing that the dividing the State into Election Districts in our opinion comports best with the general principles of our State Government, and with the practice of our Sister States.
Resolved, That these Resolutions be signed by the Chairman and Secretary and transmitted by them to our Senators and Members of the House of Representatives at Lancaster, as the sentiments of this meeting. LEVI HOLLINGSWORTH, Chairman, Benjamin R. Morgan, Secretary.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, January 14.
Immediately after the journal was read, Mr. Macon said, he intended to have asked leave yesterday, to be excused from serving on the committee to whom were referred the message of the President of the United States; but not having an opportunity, he took the liberty now of begging that indulgence. The question was put, and the request granted.
A number of petitions of the inhabitants, Merchants of the town of Gloucester, county of Essex, and state of Massachusetts, praying for the erection of a light-house on a certain part of land in Ipswich Bay were read and referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Griswold presented a memorial of the town of Lyme, in the state of Connecticut, praying that said town may be by law annexed to the district of New London as a port of entry. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. F. Davenport presented a petition of Ludwick Csen, praying compensation for property taken for the use of the continental army, by col. Magaw during the revolutionary war. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Otis called up for consideration, the report of the committee of defence; but Mr. Macon observing that he wished further time to consider the subject, and expressing a wish that the unfinished business of yesterday might be proceeded on—Mr. O. withdrew his motion.
On motion of Mr. D. Foster, a report made on the 4th Feb. '99, on the petition of Moses White, was committed to a committee of the whole house, and made the order of the day for Monday next.
On motion of Mr. Gallatin, the Clerk of the House was ordered to furnish each member with a copy of the Laws of the Fifth Congress.
No further business appearing before the house, Mr. Smith renewed the motion for taking into consideration the following report of the committee of defence:—
The committee to whom was referred so much of the Speech of the President of the United States as relates to "a system of national defence commensurate with our resources and the situation of our country."
Report in part— That in the opinion of the committee no such material change in the state of the foreign relations of the United States has happened, as would justify a relinquishment of any of the means of defence heretofore adopted by Congress, but that the national honor and interest in the present posture of affairs, make it prudent and necessary to continue prepared for the worst event: but while danger still threatens our country, yet circumstances having diminished the probability of an immediate invasion, the attention of the committee has been particularly directed to the state of the military establishment, with a view to reconcile safety with economy, to preserve the establishment and retrench the expence. The annexed abstract and letter from the Secretary at War exhibit the state of the twelve new regiments of infantry according to the latest returns. As these men have received their bounty and clothing, and are daily improving in discipline; as they would be useful in any sudden emergency, and the greater part of them may also be usefully employed until wanted for actual service on the fortifications of ports and harbour, it is conceived proper to retain them, but to suspend the recruiting service until the approach of danger shall compel the government to resume it. This project combines the advantage of an important reduction of the national expence, with that of having at command a body of officers ready for service upon short notice, and a number of disciplined troops sufficient for the present occasion. The committee therefore submit the following resolution:—
Resolved, That from and after the day of next, all enlistments under an act entitled "An act to augment the army of the United States and for other purposes," shall be suspended until the next session of Congress, unless war should break out between the United States and a foreign European power, or in case imminent danger of invasion of their territory by any such power shall, in the opinion of the President of the United States, be discovered to exist.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
2d January, 1800.
Sir, I received your letter dated yesterday, and have the honor to inform the committee of defence, that I am preparing, and have nearly finished, a report to the President of the United States, on the subject of the military establishment, containing propositions which it is conceived would improve it, and detailing information from the latest documents, as far as they go, that have been transmitted to me, relative to the number of men that have been actually enlisted, in the new regiments.
It will be conceived the report mentioned, is intended to embrace the most material objects that have occurred to me, as promising amelioration to our military system. The President I respectfully presume, will communicate the same in Congress.
The number of men enlisted, at the dates therein specified, as appears from the latest returns to the war department, in the twelve new regiments of infantry, will be seen by the enclosed statement, which is respectfully submitted.
The other requisitions will require some time to prepare an accurate reply to. They shall claim my attention, and an answer be furnished as soon as possible.
I have the honor to be, With great respect, Your obedient humble servant, JAMES M C HENRY.
H. G. Otis, Esq. chairman of the committee of defence, of the house of representatives of the United States.
Return of the non commissioned officers musicians and privates, enlisted for twelve regiments, directed to be raised in pursuance of the act of July 16. 1798.

War Department, January 2, 1800
The House having taken up the resolution as reported by the committee, Mr. Otis moved to fill the blank therein, so as to limit the period to the 15th day of February next.
Mr. Smith thought it best to stop the recruiting as soon as possible, and therefore proposed the first of February—but on Mr. Gallatin suggesting it would be better to strike out all that part of the resolution which goes to fix the period, and leave the execution of the law to the President; or at least to leave a blank in the bill to be reported—these motions were withdrawn, and the resolution, as reported agreed to.
The committee of defence were then ordered to prepare and bring in a bill conformable thereto.
Mr. Griswold called for the order of the day on the report of the Committee of Revision and Unfinished Business, relative to the expiration of the law suspending intercourse with France; when
Mr. Smith said, he considered the taking up of this subject at the present, as premature, and moved that it be postponed till the 20th day of February next. From every information he could collect, Mr. S. said, it appeared very probable we should, by that time, have advice from our Ministers at Paris. And urged as another objection, the imperfection of the existing law, which, if renewed, ought to be greatly modified.
After a few observations from Mr. Otis, Mr. Smith altered his motion to the 10th February. Mr. Griswold hoped this motion would not prevail. The present law, he said, would expire on the 3d day of March next, and if determined to be renewed, that determination ought to be as speedily promulgated as possible, that merchants and others in distant parts of the Union, might receive timely information of it.
Mr. Gallatin also thought it important that the determination to continue the act or not, should be made known as soon as possible; and also that enquiry should be made relative to the execution of it, and whether its provisions are competent to the purposes intended. He was therefore decidedly against the postponement.
The question was put and negatived. The resolution was then read as follows:—
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to prepare and report a Bill to continue in force for a limited time, the act entitled "An act further to suspend the commercial intercourse between the United States and France, and the dependencies thereof;" and whether any, and if any, what alterations are necessary to be made in said act.
When Mr. Waln said, he wished further time to consider the resolution; he had not yet made up his mind on the subject, and therefore moved that it be postponed till Monday week.
Mr. Smith hoped the motion would prevail. The existing law, against which there had been many complaints, was extremely deficient, and he did not think had been fully executed. It rested altogether, at present, with the merchants; to execute it. Honest men would not contravene it, but there were men upon whom no oath would be binding.
Mr. Otis said, that if it was the intention of the house to pursue the measure, it ought certainly to gain publicity as soon as possible.
With a view to this effect, he would move that the committee of the whole be discharged from the further consideration of the resolution, in order that it might be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Waln withdrew his motion, and the committee of the whole were discharged.
Mr. Otis then moved, that it be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures, with leave to report by bill or otherwise-agreed.
Mr. Nicholas wished to know whether the committee had power to enquire into the general execution of the law, and if they had not whether it would not be necessary to ask for special instructions on that subject.
Mr. Sewall replied, that no enquiry could be made by the committee relative to the execution of the law, without instructions for that purpose, and therefore moved the following resolution, which was agreed to by the house, viz.
Resolved, That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire and report, in what manner and to what effect, the act suspending commercial intercourse with France, had been executed.

Extract of a letter from Havana, dated December 9.
The old game of French piracy is recommencing in this land, as the expiring effort of a people who are beginning to experience heavily the exertion and inagnation of the whole world, and who therefore begin to think that what remains to be done under the infernal system of the French Republic, must be done speedily.
Some time since, several fast sailing American vessels were purchased in this place, and under such suspicious circumstances, that no doubt remained of the purposes to which they were to be applied; and I believe, that Mr. Morton, your consul, very early apprised government thereof. We continued for six or seven weeks without any public vessels on this station (the French pirates being, I suppose, viewed as destroyed in this quarter) and the French was encouraged to proceed in their preparations. They experienced some difficulty in not being able to produce to the government here any regular commissions; but a excel sch. at length arrived from the Cape, which brought the necessary papers, made out by Desfornaux at Guadalupe, but no doubt in conjunction with Roume, the French agent at the Cape; and when the General Pinckney returned to this station a sch. mounted 14 guns was nearly in readiness to sail. The Norfolk, capt. Bainbridge, soon after appeared to take the command in this quarter. The French, notwithstanding, persevered; and the captain of the schooner declared on all occasions, that he would soon be at work, and that he would take either of the American brigs singly. On Saturday last he accordingly went out of port (the Pinckney alone being off) and we were all on tiptoe expectation for the fight.
The pirate stretched out in the offing, with the apparent intention of waiting for capt. Hayward, who immediately bore down for him; but on the Pinckney approaching pretty near, the scoundrel wore round, and sneaked into port, under the guns of the castle!
The Pinckney passed her within musket shot; and her people to shew their contempt of the galleon-pirate maned the yards and gave 3 cheers.
The Spanish Governor shortly after sent an officer to the consul, requesting that he would order the Pinckney to keep farther off and in the cruising limits. Mr. Morton replied that the American officer would do his duty; but that his excellency could not expect they would shew the usual moderation or respect, when contending with an openly declared pirate, &c. who had received so much patronage in the port.
Thus matters now rest. Other vessels are fitting out; but with the activity of captains Bainbridge and Hayward, we do not apprehend much injury from them. The Norfolk went a few days since to convoy some vessels to windward; and we hourly look for her return; we are also looking for another public vessel. I forgot to mention to you, that while the Norfolk was in port, getting supplies, two of her men deserted; and on being closely pursued afterwards by the Consul, took refuge on board the French privateer; but the Consul immediately applied to the government, who ordered the necessary guard, and the men were taken out of the privateer, and delivered over into his charge. The Governor is disposed to do right on most occasions; but the French still retain too strong an influence."

FIRE BUCKETS.
The great inattention shown by a number of Citizens, by suffering their Fire Buckets to remain for days and sometimes for weeks in the streets and alleys, adjacent to where they have been used at fires, has induced the Mayor to direct the High Constable, at the expiration of four days from the time that a fire shall happen in the City, to have collected and removed to the City Hall, the Fire Buckets which may find in the Streets after that period. The owner will thereby have an opportunity of recovering their Buckets, which, perhaps, otherwise would have been lost by their neglect. A number is now at the City Hall.

Just Published, A COMPENDIOUS SYSTEM Of Practical Surveying and dividing of land; briefly comprized under the following heads, viz.
TWENTY-THREE Geometrical Defini- tions, eleven Geometrical Positions, ex- plaining to view the properties and depend- encies of triangles, followed by problems and examples preparatory to Trigonometry, heights and distances. Then fifteen problems and ex- amples necessary to calculating a Survey succeeded by seven surveys, the area of the first is found geometrically, and of the whole number by difference of latitude and de- parture, showing how to take an inaccessible boundary, find the bearing and distance of the closing line without running it, also the dis- tances to an inaccessible corner from the two adjacent corners, followed by examples of off- sets on to winding streams of water, showing how to ascertain the area without the trouble of measuring the windings with chains and in- struments—a crooked water course firetained, and a quantity of land on each side found by these offsets.
Ten examples of dividing land, with many sub-divisions, leading into the most critical cir- cumstances that can occur in practice; an ex- ample of Intersections, and an example show- ing how the bearings of a field may be truly taken where the needle is attracted, altho' the attraction may vary in quantity and denomi- nation at every station; examples showing the method of measuring by the chain only. All the rules are clear and explicit. This work con- tains the tables of difference of latitude and de- parture and of logarithms.

TERMS
Of Richard Fokwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE
JOURNALS OF CONGRESS,
From the commencement Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Pri- vate Papers of that Body, now first per- mitted to be made public.
TERMS.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars, 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print man- more than the number subscribed for, a considera- ble rise on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to take only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Govern- ment.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the com- mencement of their governments, are lost in dark- ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public re- cords, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroy- everything, enhances the value of well authen- ticated public records, and renders them almost in- estimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, there- fore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in trans- mitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors —founders of the Columbian nation.
The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798." "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States." "THE MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia," "Respectfully presented," "That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con- gress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them. That we understand that Richard Fokwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed protect- ing the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves."

RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, be authorized and directed, to subscribe, on such terms as they may deem eligible, for the use of the Senate and House of Representatives, for four hundred copies of the Journals of Congress, which are pro- posed to be published by Richard Fokwell and such number of copies of efficient volumes of the fests now in print, as may be necessary to complete the fame.

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES,
NOW RUNNING BETWEEN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the short and pleasant road of
Buffleton, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Spring-
field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populous- ness of the country through which it pas- ses, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswick, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Thoro- rough-Fare from Philadelphia to New York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained.—There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required by the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is amongst the least of its advantages, because daily expe- rience proves to us, that dispatch as well as com- fort in traveling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country; and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The full, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little, if at all, in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of the country, and a con- siderable proportion of shade, must always ren- der travelling in the latter season peculiarly a- greeable.
The Swift Sure starts from PHILADEL- PHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth Street. It goes through Frankford to Bulltown, where it stops to breakfast; from Bulltown it goes through Newtown to Pennytown to dinner; from Pennytown through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it goes through Scotch Plains to Springfield, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New- York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Ed- ward Bardiu, Old Coffee-house, to A. Mathew, corner of Nassau and John Streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courthouse corner of Greenwich Street, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42, Broad Street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars.
Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each passenger is allowed to take on 14 lbs. of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight.
With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge them- selves to make good every package on the fol- lowing conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall see it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state the value of the pack- age, and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per cent. on the value, as insurance, and for which he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance, if he estimates his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent, and if at one hundred dollars, he will pay one dollar insurance, and in like pro-
