CATO'S SOLILOQUY.
It must be so!—Samuel thou reason'st well!
Ere whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire,
This longing after Offices of State?
* Pointing to the Federal System and State Constitution.
New-York, Oct. 20, 1787.
L O N D O N, August 22.
We were last night, with much confidence, informed, in addition to the account given in our paper of yesterday, of the King of France having exiled the parliament of Paris, in consequence of their remonstrances—
We feel it our duty to give the above report as we received it from respectable authority, tho' we do not pledge ourselves for its truth.
In justice also, we must add, that on inquiry last night at the Charge des Affaires from France, we were informed that no account of such an event had been received.
We have however, authentic information that a very dangerous mob assembled in consequence of the parliament being exiled, and that violent consequences were apprehended.
Mons. Calonne, the impeached Minister of France, is now in London.
The following answer was received a few days ago from an author, to a card of invitation:—"I am writing the life of a nobleman, who is expected to die every hour, and the devil now waits for it—therefore cannot do myself the pleasure of dining with you to-day."
PARISIAN TOPICS.
August 18, 1787.
Since the parliament has been banished, it has been advanced by their advocates, that they showed a desire of tranquility, when they softened the severity of their protest against the stamp-tax. They confined themselves singly to declare the edict null and of no effect; but did not, as is common in such cases, prohibit under pain of death, the carrying it into execution; a constitutional question arises from hence, on the true and original power of parliament.
The long talked of reform is now taking place. The Petites Ecuries, at the head of which was the Duke de Coigny, is united to the Grandes Ecuries, under the Prince de Lambese, with a diminution of between three and four hundred horses. The Duke
de Coigny is recompensed by the government of Flanders, in the room of the late Prince de Soubise.
The troops of Gens d'Armes, and of the Chevaux Legers are suppressed, as likewise the company of guards called Gardes de la Porte, and some reductions made in those called the Gardes du Corps.
The falconery and vautruil, under Monsieur de Vaudreuil, and Monsieur de Decqueville, are likewise totally suppressed.
Many officers of the Queen's separate kitchen are discharged, and the remainder united to that of the King, so as to form but one establishment.
In the King's private household there is also a considerable reform. The number of all those officers below the first grooms of the chamber, is reduced to half the number.
It seems determined at present that the Court will not go as was proposed, to Fontainebleau this season, on account of the very great expense attending that journey.
A great reduction is likewise made in the hunting stables of his Majesty.
One cause assigned why the parliament was lately banished, is the following: preceding the edict of his Majesty, for the payment of the stamp-act, being on the 14th inst. published in the Journal of Paris, the parliament immediately assembled, and did not break up till near eight o'clock. Their arrest forbid the sale and use of any paper stamps under the King's late edict, through all their jurisdiction.
New-York, Oct. 23.

Extracts from The JOURNAL OF CONGRESS.
Monday, October 1.
On a report of the board of treasury, to whom was recommitted their report on the memorial of Arnold Henry Dohrman:
Resolved, That Arnold Henry Dohrman be reimbursed the sum of five thousand eight hundred and six dollars, and seventy-two ninetieths of a dollar, with interest on the same from the time of expenditure, being the amount of sundry disbursements by him made for the relief of American prisoners, agreeably to vouchers examined and admitted by the proper officers of the treasury.
And whereas the claims of the said Arnold Henry Dohrman against the United States amount to twenty thousand two hundred and seventy-seven dollars, and forty ninetieths, over and above the sum of five thousand eight hundred and six dollars, and seventy-two ninetieths, as above stated, in support of which various and important documents are offered, though of a nature too general to be admitted agreeably to the rules of the treasury; and whereas this deficiency of vouchers appears to arise from the nature of the disbursements made by Mr. Dohrman, whose own house was frequently the asylum of whole crews of captive American seamen, who were fed, clothed, and relieved in sickness through his benevolence, and that at a time when his attachment to the cause of America was dangerous both to his person and property:—And whereas Congress are disposed to acknowledge in the most honorable manner the eminent services rendered by Mr. Dohrman, and to make him further compensation,
Resolved unanimously, That the said Arnold Henry Dohrman, be allowed in consideration of his faithful and generous services, as agent from the United States at the court of Lisbon, the sum of sixteen hundred dollars per annum, and that the said salary be computed from the period at which his expenditures commenced to the present day.
Resolved unanimously, That one complete and entire township, subject to the reservations as in the other townships agreeably to the ordinance of the twentieth of May, 1785, out of the three last ranges surveyed in the western territory of the United States, be and hereby is granted to the said Arnold Henry Dohrman, free from all charges of survey, and that the said Arnold Henry Dohrman be allowed to make choice of the aforesaid township of land out of any of the said three ranges last surveyed, after the secretary at war shall have drawn for the proportionate quantity of land assigned to the late army, agreeably to the said ordinance of the 20th May, 1785.
Resolved unanimously, That the above payments be made in such manner, as the present state of the finances will best admit of; and that the same, together with the grant of land as aforesaid, be in full of Mr. Dohrman's claims against the United States.
Tuesday, October 9.
The board of treasury, to whom was referred the petition of Abraham Yates, jun. esq. late continental loan-officer for the state
of New-York, praying a further allowance for his services in that department, Beg leave to report,
That from a summary of Mr. Yates's commission account, whilst acting as loan-officer for the state of New-York, transmitted to this office by the commissioner of accounts for that state, it appears, That the amount of the commissions alluded to, and received by Mr. Yates, for his services as loan-officer, was six thousand two hundred and forty-three dollars, specie value. That Mr. Yates entered on the duties of his station in the month of November, 1779, and continued therein till the 1st of January, 1786, but scarcely any business whatever was transacted in that office after the month of December, 1781, till the month of April, 1785; so that the space of time in which Mr. Yates's services were actually engaged in the business of the loan-office, will not exceed three years. That in the adjustment of Mr. Yates's commission account, the state commissioner has allowed a specie commission on the nominal sum of the old continental emissions received, and paid by the loan-officer at a depreciated value, contrary to the general principles which had governed in the former settlement of loan-office accounts; and that the propriety of adhering to these principles is clearly stated in the report of the comptroller of the treasury, concurred in by this board on the 16th December last. That, in consequence of this mode of adjustment, the comptroller states, that there is a considerable difference in favor of Mr. Yates, in the specie balance found due to him. With respect to the additional compensation claimed by Mr. Yates, the board observe, that it arises for services in signing, stamping and numbering about twenty-three thousand bills of the new emission; and in counting, punching and packing 2,825,000 dollars, in bills of the old emission; for which last service Mr. Yates charges fourteen hundred and twelve pounds, nine shillings, New-York currency, equal to three thousand five hundred and thirty-one specie dollars, being a commission of 1-8 per cent. in specie, on the amount of the old continental emissions above-mentioned. That, on estimating the amount of the specie commission above-mentioned, at the value of the old continental money, as fixed by the resolve of Congress of the 18th March, 1780, it would amount to 141,240 continental dollars, which is equal to a commission of 5 per cent. (instead of 1-8, as allowed by Congress) on the whole sum received; from which it clearly appears, that, if a specie commission was to be estimated on monies received at a depreciated rate, the same would constantly augment in a ratio proportioned to the stage of depreciation; so that on the continental monies still to be destroyed at the treasury (estimating the present worth at 250 for one, at which it was lately purchased by the state of New-York) the commission would exceed 30 per cent. That it appears to this board, from a report of the two commissioners employed in this city, to examine, count and destroy the bills of the old continental emissions, now bringing into the treasury, that, betwixt the 15th December and 19th January last, they had examined, counted and destroyed 2,759,217 dollars of the old continental emissions. That the allowance, made to each of these commissioners, is two dollars per day; so that the expense attending this service has been one hundred and eight dollars: admitting, therefore, the trouble of receiving and punching the old emissions, at the respective loan-offices, to be equal to that of examining and destroying the same at the treasury, the expense of cancelling the sum received by Mr. Yates, would be one hundred and eleven specie dollars, instead of three thousand five hundred and twenty-one dollars, as claimed by his memorial. On the whole, the board beg leave to observe, that, on estimating the commissions on the old emissions, received by Mr. Yates, on the principles stated in the report of the comptroller, the specie balance, found due to that officer, would be diminished two thousand eight hundred and ninety-four dollars; so that, should the commission of 1-8 per cent. on the old emissions cancelled by him, in pursuance of the resolve of the 18th March, 1780, be allowed (notwithstanding the objections made thereto by the commissioner of accounts for the state of New-York) the amount of the same would fall far short of the sum obtained by Mr. Yates, in consequence of the principles on which his commission account has been settled; since, by a just estimation of the commission of 1-8 per cent. as claimed by the memorial, the same would amount only to eighty-eight specie dollars. The principle of applying a specie commission on monies received on account of the United States, at a depreciated value, appears to this board a precedent of so dangerous a nature, that they have esteemed it their duty, in the first instance which has come under their cognizance, to be particular in their observations on it. The commission account of the loan-officers of the states of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, estimated in this manner, would amount to a sum exceeding, in a prodigious degree, any equitable compensation for their respective services. Nor is this the extent of the mischief; the various officers entitled to commissions in the staff department, might plead a precedent for applying the same principle in the settlement of their respective accounts, and thereby swell the amount of their commissions to a sum of a far greater magnitude than the public were bound to pay, or they had a right to expect. In the commissary and quarter-master general's department, under the direction of the late major-general Greene and colonel Wadsworth, the sum of old emission money received by them, respectively, is as follows:
Table with 2 columns: Officer Name, Dollars. Major-general Greene: 89,903.88. Colonel Wadsworth: 79,246.73. Total: 169,150.61.
By the resolve of Congress, of the second March, 1778, the commission allowed to the quarter-master general, and his two principal assistants, for their trouble and expence, was to be one per cent. on the monies issued to them. By the resolve of the 9th April, 1778, the commissary-general, his deputies, and purchasing assistants, are allowed three per cent. on all the monies received and expended by them in their respective departments. At the date of the first resolve, the value of continental money, compared with specie, was at 56 79-90ths per 100; at the date of the second, it was 47 86-90ths. If, therefore, a specie commission, agreeably to the value of continental money when the commission was fixed, is allowed on the expenditures above stated, the sum due under that head to the late general Greene, and his two principal assistants, would be 511,428 Specie Dollars. To Colonel Wadsworth and the officers under him - 1,140,162. Total: 1,651,590.
