CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, April 22.
Mr. W. Smith informed the House, that the committee appointed to wait upon the Directors of the Bank of the United States, to enquire whether it would be convenient for them to continue the money which they had advanced to government in anticipations of the revenue, on loan as usual, had directed him to move that the committee of the whole might be discharged from a farther consideration of the bill before it, providing in part for the payment of the debt due to the Bank of the United States, in order that it might be re-committed to the committee of ways and means, to undergo some alterations, in consequence of the result of their enquiries. The committee of the whole was discharged and the bill re-committed.
Mr. Goodhue, of the committee of commerce and manufactures, reported a bill for allowing compensation to officers in the army for horses killed in battle; also a bill for providing relief to distillers in certain cases, were twice read, and committed to a committee of the whole on Monday.
The bill providing appropriations for defraying the expenses of carrying into effect the treaty lately concluded with the Dey and Regency of Algiers; and the bill for making provision for the Revenue Cutters, were read a third time and passed. The blank in the former bill for the yearly allowance to be paid to Algiers, was filled up with 24,000 dollars.
The report of the committee of commerce and manufactures on the petition of David Mead Randolph, to be relieved from a penalty which he had paid on account of the loss of a ship's register, for which he had been surety with Mr. Backhouse, the owner of the ship, who was become insolvent. The report was against the prayer of the petitioner, supposing that the register had been sold, and was agreed to.
Mr. Hartley presented petitions from 650 citizens of York county, from 104 merchants of Philadelphia, from 195 other inhabitants of that city, and from 68 Pennsylvanians, in favor of the British treaty.
Mr. Isaac Smith presented a petition of the same tenor from 172 inhabitants of New-Brunswick.
Mr. Gallatin presented a similar one from 49 inhabitants of the Western counties.
Mr. Kittera also presented a petition of a like kind from 260 inhabitants of Newcastle county.
Mr. Swanwick presented a petition from 300 inhabitants of Philadelphia against the British treaty.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the union; when the resolution for carrying into effect the British treaty being under consideration, Mr. Coit and Mr. Isaac Smith spoke in favor of the treaty; and Mr. S. Smith spoke on the subject, generally against the treaty; but believing it to have been constitutionally formed, and finding that his constituents were almost wholly in favor of it, he declared his intention of giving his vote for carrying it into execution. The committee rose and had leave to sit again. Adjourned till Monday.
From the Columbian Centinel.
EPISTOLARY.
DEAR FRIEND,
YOU observe very truly, that all the public demonstrations of opinion, from one end of the Union to the other, are unfavourable to the anti-treaty men; that, as they ground their principles and their influence in our affairs on popularity, they will not dare, nor be disposed to act against the plain sense of the country: that, altho' they may pretend to deny the fact, they will not in their hearts entertain a doubt, that since the first hot fever against the treaty has cooled off, the general sentiment has turned strongly against them. In the fact, I fully agree with you. I also agree, that the conduct of the Virginia assembly gives no color of encouragement to their doctrine. For the Virginia amendments proceed on the undoubting faith that the Gallatin interpretation of the constitution is not true.
There are very great difficulties in the way of the anti-treaty party and their new light on the constitution, and I believe with you, they go forward with faint hearts, and sensible that it is on a forlorn hope, as the million of lies against the treaty have now spent their force and lost their power to deceive.
The state legislatures, the chambers of commerce, the toast of public feasts, the universal sentiment of our enlightened substantial yeomanry, have piled one proof upon another, and have added demonstration to demonstration, until no one doubts that the nation will support the constituted authorities.
Still, however, and contrary to your very natural expectation, they will go all lengths, under pretext of the treaty, to attack, and if possible to usurp the treaty-making power.
In judging of parties, you must attend to the ordinary operation of party passions. This party, so long a tool in the hands of France, and many of them, beyond all question, hired for the purpose, has long laboured, with unwearied zeal, to involve this country in the war, because war would bring anarchy and the overthrow of the constitution; all which are as dear to our jacobins as to those of France.
While the war rages in Europe, the passions of our citizens will scarcely become cool, and designing demagogues will not despair of success in their schemes of confusion.
But as that war is evidently drawing to a close, the operations of the party are crowded into a small space of time. They must conquer before a peace, or the laws will conquer them. Their struggle at this late day, and under so many discouraging circumstances, is nevertheless for life. If the treaty will not kill the government, the life of the party is gone. Peace will remove from us foreign emissaries, and the government will find the whole strength of a happy nation, then grown calm, then freed from the leaven and the four fanaticism of French
madness, united to support it, we shall then have none but our own rogues to deal with.
You will therefore agree with me, that the party is driven to desperation. Since the date of my last, you will find this proved by their conduct. It is truly a bold thing, by a vote of one branch only, to make a new constitution, and one in every respect much worse than that which the people ordained—The attempt will fail, and draw down the authors of it into utter disgrace.
How is it, that a majority of one popular body is found so little in correspondence with the sense of the country? This question is very natural. Remember, however, that our last elections were made while the clubs and the reign of terror were at the highest. A great ferment had almost convulsed the country. It has since subsided, but while it lasted a sort of men came in who will as certainly go out at the next choice. Many of them know it, and think it for that reason the more urgent to make the most of the present moment.
So far as one can judge of the general opinion, it was never more correct—never in any instance more decidedly a majority, than it has appeared against the late new fangled doctrine of the share of the House in the treaty-making power. It would be a tragedy if the public should believe the preachers of the new doctrine; for it is well known they do not believe it themselves. It is perfectly well known that some of the speech makers were zealous opposers of it in the great Convention.—What matchless boldness (I want a stronger word for this brazen profligacy) what boldness by a new comment on the constitution in direct repugnance to their own declared and solemnly repeated construction of it, thus to make war on the constituted Authorities—thus to attempt to make a new government by usurpation; or in other words, by cunning and sophistry to turn Congress into a French Convention.
On this great question, the public must judge.—Thanks to our wise forefathers, who erected schools and settled ministers, it is an enlightened public that has to judge between the President and an usurping majority. If the nation will not hold up its own constituted authorities, they must fall, they have no armies to hold them up by force. But if our citizens are duly impressed with a sense of the crisis, the constitution will prevail—it will go on as it was intended should when it was made—party will fall, and peace will banish foreign passions and foreign gold, that stir up mobs and popular societies. Until that takes place, the preservation of public order will be both difficult and hazardous.
The interesting crisis that is now unfolding itself is to display whether our citizens are worthy or unworthy of a free constitution—whether they really possess or unhappily want the spirit and good sense that will support it.

LONDON, March 5.
Our affairs in the east prosper to our best wishes. We already hold in our hands enough to make us above listening to any thing but fair and honorable terms of peace.
Cochin is a town on Malabar coast, with a good harbor. The Dutch had in it a small fort, which retains the name of Cranganore. The first Europeans who settled in it were the Portuguese, who were driven away by the Dutch.
Malacca is a town in the most southern part of the further peninsula of India. The Dutch took it from the Portuguese in the year 1640. The peninsula is bound by the kingdom of Siam on the north, by the ocean on the east, and by the Straits of Malacca, which separate it from Sumatra on the south west, being about 600 miles in length, and 200 in breadth. It produces a variety of pleasant and curious fruits, and possesses an abundance of pork, poultry and fish. The conquest of Batavia, would, it was supposed, soon follow the capture of Jaffnapatam.
Last night, during the representation of The Mountaineers , Drury lane theatre, one of the balance weights, nearly 500lb. which hung over the passages leading to the dressing rooms, suddenly fell through the ceiling, carried boards, floors and rafters along with it to the very abyss of the theatre. Fortunately Mr. Frobrook had just removed from the very spot at the moment to give room to Mrs. Maddocks, and so instantaneous was his removal that Mrs. Maddocks was grazed by the side on its fall.
March 10.
Count Schoenfeld, the Minister of the Elector of Saxony at Vienna, has officially announced to the Imperial Court, that his Master's contingent of troops would set out on the 7th inst. on their march to Frankfort, and there wait the orders for their further destination.
Louis XVIII. has invited Mr. de Casales to take a seat in his Council. The King's letter, addressed to him on this subject, is written with a degree of sensibility equally honourable to the writer and the Gentleman to whom it is directed. If this celebrated Ex-constituent has an opportunity of showing as much skill in the conduct of public affairs, as he displayed eloquence in the Constitutional Assembly, he will blend to the fame of one of the greatest orators of his age, the reputation of one of the greatest statesmen. Mr. de Casales is on the point of leaving town for Verona.
We are informed by a letter from Hamburg of the 4th inst. that the Magistrates of Bremen, in consequence of the repeated complaints of the actual Dutch Government, have, by a Placard of the 26th ult. ordered all military Emigrants, who reside in that city, to quit it within the space of three days.

From the RHINE, Feb. 25.
General Jourdan, who has concerted with the Executive Directory, the plan of operations for the ensuing campaign, brings with him a great number
of engineers, who are to serve in his army, General Kleber, who, during his absence, had the command in chief of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, has cautioned all the Generals of Divisions to keep their corps in readiness for action at a moment's notice. Bernardot, Championet, and Marceau, have marched with their divisions from the environs of Luxembourg to the Moselle. The first hostilities will be committed between the Moselle and the Nahe. The corps on the right Banks of the Rhine, under the orders of General Lefebvre, which consists of about 24,000 men, is destined to make a diversion. Among the great many corps which are marching to the Rhine from the Interior, is the Colonne Infernale (the Infernal Column,) which is composed of grenadiers and chasseurs, and has hitherto served in La Vendee.
HAMBURGH, March 4.
[Extract of a Private Letter.]
On the 27th ult. every thing remained quiet on the Rhine; but it was feared that the renewal of hostilities was near at hand.
Letters from Vienna state, that his Imperial Majesty may perhaps proceed in person to Mentz, for the purpose of being near the operations of war; but this is not yet certain. A report, which is current here, and may perhaps find its way in the newspapers, that Field-Marshal Wurmler is to be entrusted with the command in chief of both the Imperial armies on the Rhine, is without foundation.
We understand that Mr. Charles Greville, son-in-law to the Duke of Portland, is to be the new Under Secretary of State in his Grace's Office.
It is not generally known that the present Duchess of Bolton was engaged to the late Gen. Wolfe.
Letters from Frankfort by the last mails mention, that the reigning Duke of Wurtemberg has sent his Grand Maitre Zeppelin to Vienna, to influence the Emperor in favour of a marriage between the Hereditary Prince (whose sister was the Empress's first wife) and the Princess Royal of England; another Messenger it is said, is despatched to St. Petersburg, on a similar mission, the Grand Duchess being sister of the Hereditary Prince.
All the late discussions in the French Legislature on the ruinous state of the Public Finances, clearly demonstrate not only their truly desperate condition, but also the utter impossibility of restoring public credit. At first it was supposed, that by depreciating the assignats, specie would be forced back into circulation; but the measures adopted for this purpose, having entirely failed of success, they are now again endeavouring to raise the credit of assignats. They may be compared to a whirlwind, tossed about its centre, and carrying away with it whatever it meets in its dreadful sweep. That Gay Vernon, the Jacobin Bishop, should attribute the depreciation of assignats to counter-revolutionary plans, at the very moment when the French Government is obliged to reduce them to the 100th part of their nominal value, is curious indeed; for if this be the case, Government itself, and not the Royalists must needs have formed these plans.
RATISBON, Feb. 25.
The Imperial decree of ratification, concerning the 100 Roman months granted by the Diet for the prosecution of the war, was yesterday dictated, as the phrase is, or published to the Diet. It bears date the 15th inst. and after having, as usual, repeated the contents and very words of the advice of the Empire, and ratified the same, concludes in the following manner:—"His Imperial Majesty, at the same time expects, on his own behalf, as well as on that of the Country, that, in pursuance of the ratified advice of the Empire, of the 22d December, 1794, the Electors, Princes, and States, will exert their utmost efforts, by joining and enforcing all the remaining means for attack and defence, to attain that just and honourable peace, the conclusion of which is merely rendered difficult by the enemy's overbearing projects of conquest."
YORK, April 13.
Yesterday afternoon, a meeting of the inhabitants of York Borough, and its vicinity was held in the Court House, to consider the propriety of presenting a petition to the house of representatives of the United States, praying that the necessary laws may be passed for carrying the treaty lately concluded into effect, when a committee was appointed, and the following petition agreed on.
TO THE Honorable HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES of the UNITED STATES, The petition of the subscribers, citizens of the County of York, in the State of Pennsylvania.
Respectfully Sherwin,
That your petitioners have observed, with anxiety and concern, certain proceedings and resolutions, voted by a majority of your honorable house, respecting the treaty, lately negotiated and concluded, between the United States, and Great Britain; which lead us to entertain apprehensions lest the necessary laws for carrying that Treaty (as well as others, lately concluded agreeably to the constitution, and under the authority of the United States) into effect, may not be passed, during the present session of Congress.
On a subject so important to the peace and prosperity of our country, we deem it our duty with suitable freedom and respect, to offer our sentiments and wishes.
The Constitution of the United States, displayed to the world much political wisdom in its formation, and the general good sense of the people, tempered with a conciliating and accomodating spirit, was equally conspicuous in its adoption. Our hearts and our voices cordially united in promoting this auspicious event, and it is our sincere and ardent wish that it may continue long inviolably preserved, and faithfully administered by the several departments of government. In forming that instrument, it was judged expedient, to confide the power of making Treaties to the President "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur," and it is thereby declared that "all Treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land."

the land." To a plain understanding, it would seem to admit of no doubt, that Treaties made agreeably to the powers, delegated by the constitution, are made under the authority of the people of the United States, from whom collectively all the powers of government derive their force; and consequently that a treaty so made, becomes a concluded contract on the part of the United States, and equally binding in point of good faith, on every department of government, as if each individual citizen had concurred in the making of such treaty.
Nor can we see any just ground, to question the expediency of the power of making treaties, being lodged where the constitution has placed it; and that in ratifying the treaty with Great Britain, as well as the other treaties lately made, a sacred regard to the real interest and prosperity of our country, was the only motive that induced those measures, we cannot entertain a particle of doubt. Indeed the carrying those treaties into full effect appears to us to hold out considerable advantages to this country, and if a regard to the claims of justice, is considered as essential to the respectability of our government, there seems to be no part of the treaty with Great Britain, which threatens any material injury to our citizens; while on the other hand, the not giving effect to that treaty must probably be attended either with a disgraceful peace, or a doubtful and expensive war, no very pleasant alternative: with the additional reflection, that a contract fairly made and concluded, has been denied execution, by a branch of that government, under whose collective authority it was made.
We therefore with and pray, that the house of representatives, may, during the present session of Congress, pass any law or laws, that may be immediately necessary for carrying the treaty with Great Britain into effect, as well as the other treaties before mentioned.
BOSTON, April 18.
From Lisbon, Feb. 11.
The weather has been remarkably bad for some time past, and many vessels have suffered damage. We have had two very severe earthquakes, but they did no material damage. The first was the 17th ult. a few moments past five in morning—the motion of which continued for near a minute. The last, on the 27th ult. just before five in the morning which was followed by several trifling ones.

EPITAPH
ON THE HON. THOMAS RUSSELL, Esq. THY LIFE, benignant parent of the poor, Will yet on memory's marble breast endure, Where many an orphan shall its worth enshrine, For all the family of woe was thine; Thine to preserve, by virtue's noblest claim, "Which blights to find its modest actions fame." While sacred Sorrow kneeling at thy bier, Sighs the sad plaint, and breathes the boding fear, Bids starv'd mechanics round its altar cling, And pinion'd Commerce flag her golden wing; A Seraph bears thee to yon bright abode, Where the freed spirit hails its guardian GOD. Thy living deeds in mortal joys below, And claim that Heaven thy wishes gave below.

SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1796.
Extract of a letter from Boston, of the 13th inst. "I have already trembled at the rash and unwarrantable decision which obtained in the House of Representatives—the precipice on which we stand appears tremendous in my view—I start with horror from a mere glance of that depth of misery into which we may be precipitated, and I find my chief consolation in turning my affrighted gaze to him who only can protect us from that deluging tempest which with impending darkness seems to envelope our political Horizon—Yet all things may end well, and the August Representatives of this nation may be yet called to reap the latter harvest of that Fame with which he hath already been so liberally and so deservedly apportioned."
Extract of a letter from a respectable House in New-York, to a Gentleman in this City, dated April 21, 1795.
"We beg you to accept our thanks for the promptitude with which you offer to accept Mr. McClenahan's bills pr. our account, but we wrote him by last Post, that if he had not made any purchases, not to do it, as we feel no inclination to enter into any large engagements, till we see the issue of the present conflict between the Friends of Order, and the Demons of Anarchy, tho' we still hope there is virtue enough north of Rappahannock to save from destruction that Constitution which every good man will support."
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman of the first consideration, in the state of Rhode-Island, to his friend in this City, dated at Providence, April 14th, 1796.
"The citizens of this town, and as far as I have heard from other towns, are in favour of the President's answer.—Having carefully observed the debates, in the House of Representatives, I am of opinion that nothing has been advanced to evince the right of the House to curtail or lessen the power of the President and Senate, in making Treaties, and when made to prevent their becoming the law. The constitution gives this power to the President and Senate, and the power must be exercised by those who have it.—The President's answer contains all that ought or could be said—But as to the opinion of the state Conventions, or any other Convention, it has nothing to do with the constitution. The constitution, as held up by the President, is the guide, and must be so as long as it is the constitution of the United States.—It was therefore unnecessary to make use of the words "under the circumstances of this case." There can be no circumstances which will warrant a violation of the constitution. If circumstances are to supercede the constitution, or the constitution may be moulded to suit circumstances, as some preachers mould the Gospel, we shall soon be in confusion. I am for keeping to the constitution as the immovable anchor and fortress of our salvation."
"A British frigate is at Newport, and I am informed this evening that the Captain wanted supplies—That he had had a number of American seamen on board—But thought it most prudent to release them, and accordingly sent them on shore at Newport. Perhaps he had heard of the Nautilus being in Newport sometime past."
Extract of a letter from New-Brunswick, dated April 19.
SIR, On reading our paper of this day, I find the Merchants of your City have had a meeting, and they have addressed the House of Representatives, praying them to adopt suitable measures for carrying the Treaty between the United States and Great Britain into speedy effect.
The inhabitants of the state of New-Jersey lament the measures that have recently been adopted by Congress. They are exceedingly alarmed at the evil and ruinous consequences likely to result, and they most heartily join in opinion with the respectable merchants of your city, that the honour and interest of our country can only be preserved by carrying all the Treaties made into full and honourable effect—and I doubt not they will cheerfully co-operate with their fellow-citizens of your state, in pursuing such measures as are likely to obtain so desirable an object.
Petitions are rapidly filling in every part of the state—praying that the Treaty may be carried into operation—And the Grand Juries that have existed, since our political situation has become so precarious, have unanimously declared their sentiments in favor of the President's conduct, and their wish that all public engagements may be punctually complied with.
A meeting of the county in which I reside, in conjunction with the one adjoining, will in a few days take place, when we shall in all probability follow the good example you have set us.
The people are generally agitated with the late demand on the President for the papers respecting the Treaty; they highly approve his firmness, and hope he will persevere in supporting his own dignity and the Constitution of our country.
That our Representatives in Congress may be less divided, and see more clearly the interest, and prosperity of our country, is the sincere wish of
COMMUNICATIONS.
The sincerity of a late proposition presented to the House of Representatives by Mr. Livingston, may be decided by the following fact: On the 15th of May, 1794, Mr. Goodhue, of Massachusetts, moved in the House of Representatives, a resolution pledging the public faith to indemnify the American citizens who had suffered by the capture and condemnation of their property by the British, in violation of the laws of nations. This resolution was defeated by a large majority of the House; and on a recurrence to the journals it will be seen, that Mr. Madison, Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Giles, and every member now in the House of Representatives who is understood to be against the execution of the treaty with Great Britain, and who was then a member of the House, were opposed to the adoption of Mr. Goodhue's resolution—yet it is understood these same gentlemen, through Mr. Livingston, now offer a proposition of the same import with that they formerly rejected; and for what purpose? To defeat the treaty? Certainly they will. To compensate the merchants? When have they shown themselves so friendly to that class of our citizens as to afford the most distant idea of such being their intentions?
A correspondent asks, whether it accords with perfect delicacy and decorum, when a man, from superior talents, possesses the faculty of influencing the opinions of others, to appear ostentatious in the display of this influence? If the answer is in the negative, what honourable motive can be assigned for a dispensation with a due reserve on this point pending the important discussion in which the House of Representatives is now engaged.—Why are the public offended by the frequent calling out of particular members of that House, by a gentleman who is also a member of it, and whose time seems to be wholly employed in training his associates beneath the shades of the State-House yard?
The anti-treaty petitioners of Philadelphia have offered to pay the merchants five millions of dollars, and those of Newcastle have promised subsistence to Congress provided they will refuse to carry a law of the land, alias the treaty, into effect—and yet these gentlemen affect to despise bribery and corruption.
The merchants, 'in order to threaten Congress and to terrify them out of their senses,' have expressed their fears for the consequences of the rejection of the treaty in the most respectful manner and with the utmost deference.
The political concert in a certain public building rather falls off. The Italian leader of the band is either sick, or sorry for some of his flights. He had intended to favor the amateurs of the art with the "airs of the mountains," a beautiful effort of the divine art, composed by him in the summer of ninety-four—but as some of the flights were very high and some of the passages extremely low—it was believed by his friends that no voice could survive their expression—and he gave them up lest suffocation should follow their exhibition. But the air of Philadelphia is uncommonly favorable to the human voice, and as he has improved so much as to be almost intelligible in his pronunciation: the admirers of this vocal performer expect that he will favor the audience on Monday with those airs—some alterations have taken place we are informed—for instance, in the following beautiful lines in the first trope.
Ven dewy eve her mantle draws, I go to bed and dream of laws; An ven de sun first ope my eyes, Whisky I drink, and curle d'excise. The alteration is in the second line. I go to bed wrapt in French gauze.
This may be because of the season, or because there is something more fanciful, beautiful, poetical and political in the idea of a performer going to bed wrapt in French gauze, than in the presumption that so great a genius ever closes his eyes.—The city professor of music was very charming in his cantabile. There was great neatness, quickness, and nimbleness of utterance, but some of the ladies who like something else besides music, said that his voice was too good.
Persons desirous of having their likenesses taken to the best advantage, would do well to attend to the following remarks.
The success of an artist, Says a Correspondent, when painting a likeness, depends much on the actual situation of the person who sits, with regard to health, and animation of mind. No part of the year is more favorable for the purpose, than the present, as the complexion is not affected by the extremes of either heat or cold, as is the case even in the autumnal season, when many delicate persons retain that pale and languid appearance of countenance, occasioned by the heat of the preceding season. As our artists in this city exert their abilities chiefly in painting resemblances, their patrons who afford them so much encouragement, would extend their patronage much to the advantage of the artists, and to their own satisfaction, were they to chuse this time of the year, to sit for their picture. I had a likeness taken in miniature, last winter, and another lately, by the same hand, but the latter is the true one.
A well wisher to the Art.
THE FEDERAL SET, Printed at Springfield, Massachusetts, has the following judicious remarks.
From a Correspondent.
It seems the reign of enthusiasm and extravagance is not over in France—that of reason and moderation begun but in name. The 21st January was the anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI late king of France. It is a mournful necessity that puts the most wicked man to death. The sentence is pronounced by our courts with every mark of sympathy and sorrow. Who, before the French, ever thought of turning this dreadful subject into a joyful anniversary? If a rabble could be found to celebrate the 5th November, called Pope Day, or Gunpowder Plot, did a public assembly ever stoop before to the indecency, folly, impiety, and savageness of opening that day of its session with music to fawn-hatred to royalty, and under these absurd forms, with this odd mixture of pantomime, farce, and tragedy, to gather spectators for a show? Their hall was turned into a play-house. Louis the XVIII had been proclaimed by the National Assembly the restorer of liberty. He did all he could to save the constitution that left him a shadow of power. They put him to death for a concealed unfaithfulness to that constitution—and yet, scarcely was he cold in his grave before they swore hatred to it.
Let our madmen admire those transactions—Bedlam is outdone by them. Men of reflection and humanity will observe that blood will be lavishly shed in a country where they make light of shedding it—and where their greatest assemblies make it the occasion of a joyful anniversary. The Indian warriors dance round a prisoner while he is roasting; but do they dance round the same stake the year after?
Recent instance of American Magnanimity and British Gratitude. Highly honourable to both nations.
When Capt. Hodge arrived in London, after having excited himself with so much humanity in saving the crew of the Aurora transport, he received a polite invitation from Mr. Dundas, who in the presence of several of the other ministers, and in behalf of the British government, thanked him in the warmest terms for his generous conduct on that occasion, and requested him to accept some token of the national gratitude and esteem which he so justly merited. An elegant gold box, containing a note for 500 guineas, has accordingly been entrusted to the care of Capt. Fitzpatrick, of the Adriana, to be presented to him, on the lid of which the following inscription is engraved:
On the 2d of February, 1796.
The Crew of the British Transport
AURORA,
Together with 9 German officers, 130 privates, 13 Women and 3 Children, Were saved when on the point of sinking, by the humane and generous exertions of Captain JOHN HODGE, of the American ship SEDGELY.
The merchants of the city of Glasgow have directed a piece of plate to be engraved and presented to him, in testimony of the high sense they entertain of his generous and disinterested exertions; and we learn that many of the other commercial cities of G. Britain are following this laudable example.
Whilst cart loads of assignats are arriving at Paris (says a French paper) for filling up the forced loan, gold is by tons carried out of it. The Americans especially, who are very fond of our Louis d'ors, make it their business to melt them down into bars and ingots, in order to send them with greater safety to Philadelphia, a detachment of the gang of the rights of man (a banditti of robbers) has however found means to steal from the American minister's 470 mares of silver, which it has declared a lawful prize, pursuant to the fundamental article of those imprescriptible rights which it has assumed for its motto.
The people of this country are slow to anger, honest and unassuming, they are not aware of the artifices that are practised; but let the tricks, the dishonest wiles that are used to gull them into a sacrifice of their constitutional rights once be discovered to them, and the men of [dis]order will have no cause to rejoice in the effects of their designs.
Aurora.
We, the cabin passengers of the ship Adriana, feel the most sincere pleasure, in returning our thanks to Capt. Fitzpatrick for his very polite treatment during our passage from London to this city.—He was most unrelentingly assiduous in the discharge of his duty, and scrupulously attentive to our comfort and convenience.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, S K E T C H E S OF THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, From the peace of 1783, to the termination of the present Session of Congress. BY MATHEW CAREY. CONDITIONS. I. This work will be comprised in two or three octavo volumes, each about 400 pages. II. The price to subscribers will be two dollars per volume, handsomely bound. III. No money will be required till the volumes are delivered. IV. Should any of the subscribers disapprove of the work when complete, they may decline receiving it. V. It is expected to be ready for press in the spring of 1797. VI. As soon after the above time, as one thousand copies are subscribed for, the printing shall commence, and shall be finished as speedily as possible. VII. Subscriptions received by the Author, No. 118, Market-street, and by the chief Booksellers throughout the United States. TO THE PUBLIC. THE object of the proposed work, is, to present to public view a connected series of the chief events of a period of American history, that does not yield, in importance, to any period of equal length, in the peaceful annals of any country in the world. Desiring to excite no expectations but such as he shall endeavour to satisfy, the writer is thus early in announcing, that the body and consistence of a regular history, is not to be looked for in this work: neither his talents nor his avocations allow him to hope for this. His humbler task shall be to sketch out the most prominent features. It shall be his study to collect and arrange the most interesting materials—to smooth the rugged path—for abler hands, who, by such means, will find their labours abridged, and their progress accelerated. His chief view will be, to give the History of the United States as a confederated Republic. Nevertheless, notice will be taken of the most remarkable circumstances in the history of the individual States, as far as they can be collected. This information shall be classed under separate appendices. The Author solicits the assistance of such Gentlemen as may be possessed of documents calculated to promote the execution of his plan. They shall be received with due gratitude—carefully preserved—and falsely returned. February 9. 1aw12t

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington. The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prize are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET. * * Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore or Gideon Denton, Savannah, of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
