Gazette of the United States.
PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1.
THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY, To the Address of the Senate, to his Speech, as published in Saturday's Gazette.
Mr. President, and
Gentlemen of the Senate,
For this excellent address, so respectful to the memory of my illustrious predecessor, which I receive from the Senate of the United States at this time, and in this place, with peculiar satisfaction, I pray you to accept my unfeigned acknowledgements. With you I ardently hope, that permanence and stability will be communicated as well to the government itself, as to its beautiful and commodious seat. With you I deplore the death of that hero and sage, who bore so honourable and efficient a part in the establishment of both. Great indeed would have been my gratification, if his scene of earthly happiness had been completed by seeing the government thus peacefully convened at this place, himself at its head. But while we submit to the decisions of Heaven, whose councils are inscrutable to us, we cannot but hope, that the members of Congress, the officers of government, and all who inhabit the city, or the country, will retain his virtues in lively recollection, and make his patriotism, morals, and piety, modes for imitation.
I thank you, gentlemen, for your assurance that the several subjects for Legislative consideration, recommended in my communication to both Houses, shall receive from the Senate, a deliberate and candid attention.
With you, gentlemen, I sincerely deprecate all spirit of innovation, which may weaken the sacred bond that connects the different parts of this National Government, and with you I trust, that under the protection of Divine Providence, the wisdom and virtue of our citizens, will deliver our national compact unimpaired, to a free, prosperous, happy and grateful posterity. To this end it is my fervent prayer, that in this city, the fountains of wisdom may be always open, and the streams of eloquence for ever flow. Here may the youth of this extensive country for ever look up without disappointment, not only to the monuments and memorials of the dead, but to the examples of the living, in the members of Congress and officers of Government for finished models of all those virtues, graces, talents and accomplishments which constitute the dignity of human nature, and lay the only foundation for the prosperity or duration of Empires.
JOHN ADAMS.
City of Washington, Nov. 26, 1800.
ANSWER
Of the House of Representatives to the President's Speech.
TO
JOHN ADAMS,
President of the United States.
SIR, The House of Representatives have received, with great respect, the communication which you have been pleased to make to the two Houses of Congress, at the commencement of the present session.
The final establishment of the seat of national government, which has now taken place, within the district of Columbia, is an event of no small importance in the political transactions of our country; & we cordially unite our wishes with yours, that this territory may be the residence of happiness and virtue.
Nor can we, on this occasion, omit to express a hope, that the spirit which animated the great founder of this city, may descend to future generations, and that the wisdom, magnanimity and steadiness, which marked the events of his public life, may be imitated in all succeeding ages.
A consideration of those powers, which have been vested in congress over the district of Columbia, will not escape our attention, nor shall we forget, that in exercising these powers, a regard must be had to those events, which will necessarily attend the capital of America.
The cheerfulness and regularity, with which the officers and soldiers of the temporary army, have returned to the conditions of private citizens, is a testimony, clear and conclusive, of the purity of those motives, which induced them to engage in the public service, and will remain a proof, on all future occasions, that an army of soldiers, drawn from the citizens of our country, deserves our confidence and respect.
No subject can be more important, than that of the Judiciary, which you have again recommended to our consideration, and it shall receive our early and deliberate attention.
The Constitution of the United States having confided the management of our foreign negotiations to the control of the executive power, we cheerfully submit to its decisions on this important subject. And in respect to the negotiations now pending with France we sincerely hope that the final result may prove as fortunate to our country as the most ardent mind can wish.
So long as a predatory war is carried on against our commerce, we should sacrifice the interests, and disappoint the expectations of our constituents, should we, for a moment, relax that system of Maritime defence, which has resulted in such beneficial effects. At this period it is confidently believed, that few persons can be found within the United States, who do not admit that
a navy, well organized, must constitute the natural and efficient defence of this country against all foreign hostility.
The progress which has been made in the manufacture of arms, leaves no doubt that the public patronage, has already placed this country beyond all necessary dependence on foreign markets, for an article so indispensable for defence; and gives us assurances, that under the encouragement which government will continue to extend to this important object, we shall soon rival foreign countries, not only in the number, but in the quality of arms, compleated from our own manufactures.
Few events could have been more pleasing to our constituents, than that great and rapid increase of revenue, which has arisen from permanent taxes. Whilst this event explains the great and increasing resources of our country, it carries along with it a proof which cannot be resisted, that those measures of maritime defence, which were calculated to meet our enemy upon the ocean, and which have produced such extensive protection to our commerce, were founded in wisdom and policy. The mind must, in our opinion, be insensible to the plainest truths, which cannot discern the elevated ground on which this policy has placed our country. That national spirit, which alone could vindicate our common rights, has been roused, and those latent energies, which had not been fully known, were unfolded and brought into view, and our fellow citizens were prepared to meet every event, which national honour or national security could render necessary.
Nor have its effects been much less important in other respects; whilst many of the nations of the earth, have been impoverished, and depopulated by internal commotions & natural contests, our internal peace has not been materially impaired—our commerce has extended, under the protection of our infant navy to every part of the globe. Wealth has flowed without interruption into our treasuries, and the labours of the husbandman, have been rewarded by a ready market for the productions of the soil.
Be assured, Sir, that the various and important subjects, recommended to our consideration shall receive our early and deliberate attention and confident of your co-operation, in every measure which may be calculated to promote the general interest, we shall endeavour on our part, to testify by our industry and dispatch, the zeal and sincerity with which we regard the public good.
Pennsylvania Legislature
House of Representatives.
Thursday, Nov. 20.
[Debate continued.]
The Bill entitled "An act for effectuating on behalf of this State, the Constitutional injunction that each state shall appoint Electors of a President and Vice President of the United States," being under consideration.
Mr. Buckley observed that this was the first time since he had the honor of a seat in the House of Representatives, that he heard it said and indeed recommended that a bill should be sent to the Senate with acknowledged imperfections. The gentleman from the city (Mr. Penrose) had allowed that this Bill comprised latent views and yet he was for sending it to the Senate.
[Here Mr. Penrose rose to explain, and remarked, that he had not acknowledged that "the bill contained latent views" but had said that "if it did contain any, the Senate were appointed to correct them."]
Mr. Buckley proceeded. He had said that he had understood the gentleman as giving a tacit acknowledgement that the bill contained those latent views. It was, however, granted that it might contain them. Of this indeed there could be no doubt, if we only adverted to the arguments of the gentleman from Philadelphia (Mr. Fisher) and the construction he had put on the bill. It appeared clearly the bill was so constructed as that the Senate might not have a single man of their nomination elected. The gentleman from the county of Philadelphia (Mr. Penrose) had told the House that time would not admit of any amendments being made, and that the Senate could correct it if they thought it necessary. Mr. Buckley said he saw no reason in the world, to admit the bill to go to the Senate, with any imperfection at all. If we had no other reason to vote against the bill that was a sufficient one. It was improper to trust the Senate to prune off those crudities which had been acknowledged to be in the bill, and therefore he never would give his vote for it the present shape. The gentleman from Montgomery (Mr. Boileau) had said that the bill in its present form was not such as it ought to be—Had acknowledged that it was improper. If so, why should he be for passing the bill in its present shape when there was nothing to prevent us from putting it in proper form. Such conduct gave rise to very serious reflections.
Here Mr. Boileau explained, & remarked that he had not considered the bill as improper. He had said that the first bill was more agreeable to his wishes, but circumstances now made the present one the only alternative.
Mr. Buckley then said he would only remark, that it was his desire to see a bill containing simple principles, such as could be readily understood; and such as would not pass this house with acknowledged errors.
Mr. Penrose observed that he had already explained himself with respect to the observations he had made. He said he could not believe that the bill contained any latent views. If members would examine they would see this in a proper light. They would not consider the proposition as tending to give the House of Representa-
tives any more than what the spirit of the bill contemplated. It was not to be supposed that any opportunity offered by which this House could take advantage of the other, that it would be guilty of so much dishonour. It was not to be supposed that this House, on discovering any thing of this would hesitate to reject it. To be sure it might happen that improper conduct might take place, but it was not to be expected from this House. Gentlemen therefore could not think therefore could not think there was any real danger in this bill. If however it contained what were considered as errors, the Senate had the power to correct and alter, according to their own minds. He said he should not have risen again on this subject but gentlemen had mistated his remarks. Some gentlemen were noted for doing this. He had made an acknowledgment of what he had said. He would repeat this and hoped the House would receive his acknowledgment.
Mr. Huston said that he had desired a reconsideration of the question in order to give the House an opportunity of gaining all the information on the subject that could be collected. The bill had been negatived without any debate or argument. It had only been read by the clerk, and no opportunity had been given for discussion. As some gentlemen had since evinced a desire to review the subject, he thought it proper that a motion for reconsideration should be made by one of the majority. Notwithstanding this, he should consider it his duty to vote against the bill, because he considered it as a departure from the principle of a joint vote.
He looked upon the constitutional representation to be the real voice of the people. That voice he considered, in the present instance, as strongly spoken by the late election. He was confident that many members of the Legislature had been voted for with an express view to the election of a President of the Union.
Mr. Huston further observed, that all the petitioners to this House on this very important subject had uniformly prayed for a joint vote. He was of opinion that these petitions had been too little attended to by the House; at least by the bill before it. He considered it his duty to attend particularly to those petitions. They appeared to be consistent with the wishes of his constituents, whose opinions he fancioned from principle. Notwithstanding what had been said he could not see that this bill contained the principles of a joint vote. The proper way he considered that of voting for 15 electors by a joint vote of the two Houses. The present mode would not be joint in manner or effect. The effect would be the same as if the Senate chose 5 and the House of Representatives 10 electors. Conceiving it therefore as a departure from the principle of a joint vote, he would give it his negative.
On the question, shall this Bill pass. The yeas and nays were called for by Mr. Fisher and Mr. Preston and are as follows. viz.
YEAS. Messrs. Weaver, Speaker, Alexander, Atlee, Anderson, Barnett, Beale, Boileau, Brady, Bratton, Conrad, Coombs, Cunningham, Davis, Eichelberger, Ewalt, Follmer, Hartzell, Heister, Hopkins, Hotchkiss, Ingels, Kessler, Kimmel, Lane, Ley, Linnard, Logan, Lyle, McElroy, McDowell, Montgomery, Moore, Morton, Painter, Penrose, Poe, Potts, Pugh, Rea, Roberts, Rose, Shoemaker, Smith, Snyder, Tait, Ure, Uri, Van Horn, Wetherill, Whitehill, Wilson, (D.)

A gentleman, who arrived last evening in the New-York stage, informs, that he left Providence (R.

LITERATURE.
THE ARTS AND SCIENCES.
Mr. Browne's travels in Africa, Syria and Egypt, have appeared in London and excited much public attention. He begins by apologizing, necessarily for any defect in his composition, which is always accurate, never confused, and often spirited and elegant. After pointing out the information that can be found at Cairo, and explaining the object of his journey from thence, he mentions some important papers which were lost at Alexandria, perhaps when the French seized that city; and he gives an account of the now interrupted intercourse between Egypt and Abyssinia. That Bruce has been at Gondar, had been favoured by the King, and intrusted with the Government of the province of Ras-el-Fil, Mr. Brown found to be true; but all his informants agreed that Bruce never had visited the Abyssinian source of the Nile.
The preface is closed with some observations on the causes of error in African geography, and an apology for some innovations in orthography, calculated to produce more of the real Oriental form and sound, as Kahira for Cairo, &c.
Mr. Browne arrived in Egypt on the 10th of January, 1792. About a month afterwards he proceeded to Siwa, in the desert, in order to discover the famous Temple of Jupiter Ammon. He returned to Alexandria, and thence repaired to Rasheed, or Rosetta, and to the Natron Lakes. The Capital of Egypt, and the singular government of that country, were the next objects of his attention, and are described with great care and ability; his skill in the Arabic, and access to the Bays, having furnished him with many new facts and observations.
Intending to penetrate into Abyssinia, he began his voyage up the Nile, in October, 1792; and his description of Upper Egypt, unvisited by Volney and Savary, forms a very interesting feature of his book. At Assuan, or Syene, he found that a war had broken out between the Bays of Upper Egypt and the Cacher of Ibrim; and, all further progress being precluded by that unforeseen event, he was constrained to return.
From Ghenne he visited Coffir, a port on the Red Sea. Some recent occurrences at Kahira occupy the next chapter; which is followed by a curious dissertation on the persons and complexion of the accident Egyptians, demonstrating that they were not negroes, as Volney conjectured, with no less absurdity than when he attempted to prove that Jesus Christ never existed!
A journey to Feiume is accompanied with an inspection of the lake Maris, a discussion concerning the Oasis parva, and an account of the pyramids, in which some recent errors concerning those vast edifices are obviated. In short, no striking peculiarity in Egypt has escaped Mr. Browne's attention; and even on objects often described, he ever throws the superior light of a more eager inquiry after truth, and a more strict regard to accuracy.
In a short chapter he narrates his journey to Sinai, and his return to Kahira. The ancient canal of Suez, between the Nile and the Red Sea, is examined and discussed.
At length, in May 1793, he commenced his progress into the interior of Africa, joining the Soudan caravan, he travelled through El-wah, or the Oasis Magna [a region in itself almost unknown to European travellers,] and through vast deserts, where many of the camels perished for want of water, till his expedition terminated in the kingdom of Dar-Fur, unvisited before by any European whatever. Six long and interesting chapters present an ample detail concerning this curious and important region; where Mr. Brown was obliged, by the capricious sultan, to remain nearly 3 years, though he ardently wished to extend his discoveries to the south or west. In March 1796, he was graciously permitted to return to Egypt.
The account of Dar-Fur is followed by a chapter of medical observations, on diseases prevalent in Africa and the east, which are replete with new and original intelligence.
In December 1795, Mr. Brown proceeded from Kahira to Damiat; and he gives a vivid and entertaining account of this part of Egypt. From Damiat he sailed to Yaffe or Joppa; and afterwards visited the most remarkable places of Palestine and Syria; which having been often described, he is contented to offer a few remarks or details of recent transactions.
After residing some months in Syria, our traveller, by a new route, pierced through the centre of Anatolia, by Kaisaria and Angora, to Constantinople, whence he directed his course to England, and arrived in London on the 16th of September, 1798, after an absence of nearly seven years.
Such is the outline of this journey, which vies with any land-tour described either in ancient or modern times. The learning, the ability, and the singular opportunities of the Author, have severally contributed so much to enrich his pages with new discoveries, or new observations, that his work will ever bear a high rank among books of travels. Long and perilous journeys have often been performed by men incapable of scientific observation; but in this case profound learning and undaunted enterprise combine to produce a work, perhaps unique in its kind.
It is a remarkable coincidence that, at this very period, Mr. Park was in the West of Africa. He left England, May 22, 1795; set out from Pisania, Dec. 1795; and was detained at Benowm, from March to July, 1796. He returned, Sept. 1796, to Kamalia; where he remained till April, 1797; & he arrived at the Gambia in June, 1797; eighteen months having passed from the commencement of his inland tour of discovery.

PHILADELPHIA.
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1.
No one principle was better understood, or more concisely established, by the state convention, than that the legislative power of the commonwealth, should be divided into two equal component parts, viz. a Senate and House of Representatives. The Findlays, Smiths, Gillams, and Whitehills, saw with a quill, a death blow given to their eternal revolutionary hopes, in the establishment of this principle. They had not the temerity, however, at that day, to raise their voice against the universal conviction of the virtuous, the wise and the orderly part of the community, they submitted with a hypocritical acquiescence, quoting their consciences with the usual reservation, that the submission, which numbers and public opinion imposed upon them, was an injury which it was their duty to avenge and redress whenever the opportunity returned. Accordingly not a session of the legislature has passed, under the present constitution, without manifesting their unceasing determination to undermine and destroy, what they had not intrepidity to oppose openly — the disguise indeed, is now almost torn off, and many of their underworkmen publicly avow their hostility to all senatorial control. — The most turbid imagination, the most senseless flattery cannot avoid tracing to this source the arrogant opposition of the House of Representatives to the liberal and constitutional efforts of the Senate, to secure to the state her suffrage in the choice of a President at the ensuing election. Purse their principles, analyze their arguments, and you will find them originate, continued and concluded in this favourable doctrine, that in every contest of opinion, the Senate, though the older branch and first in rank and every political consideration, must succumb to the House of Representatives, just as if there could be a balance without weight, or control without power; a more barefaced assumption of authority, a more palpable violation of the text and spirit of the constitutional charter, never was attempted.
The Senatorial branch of every government, judiciously constructed, are chosen for longer periods than the other branch, in order that they may carry with them the temper and moderation of one period to qualify the violence and fury of another. They are composed of characters more mature and dignified, as to age and situation, and fewer in numbers, in order that consistency, wisdom, and energy, may be combined, and a wholesome check be formed to democratic rage for innovation and change, the bane of all free governments; now as these are the principal reasons for the establishment of a Senate, they are also the precise reasons why democracy would have it destroyed, and to this spirit of demagoguism are our worthy representatives so attached that they rather take upon them the responsibility of disfranchising the state than give it up — More effectually to fix this responsibility upon the representatives, I shall crave the indulgence of a second publication.
It is related of the Princess Amelia that, being at cards with some young noblemen, when the antagonists had not scored one, she said, in the technical phrase of whist, "we are five, love," to which he immediately replied — yes, my dear." This repartee so affronted her Royal Highness, that she instantly threw up her cards.
Dean Swift was one day in company, when the conversation fell upon the antiquity of the family. The lady of the house expatiated a little too freely on her descent, observing that her ancestors names began with De, and, of course, of antique French extraction. When she had finished, now, said the Dean will you be so kind as to keep me to a piece of that D'umpling.
"Fortune! Fortune!" said an American, remarkably attached to cards "you make me lose thousands, it is true; but I'll defy the to make me pay them."
An Irishman on Tower hill wharf lately observed that he had seen a lamentable sight, six Volunteers pressed on board a tender.
The Governor of this state has disapproved the bill which was passed last year, making the office of the Prothonotary of the Supreme Court a salary office.
Captain Richard Adams of the sch. Lydia, who arrived this morning, reports that last Friday morning, he saw a ship that appeared to him as large as the Constitution Frigate — about three or four leagues S. East of Cape May, steering close to the wind, about West S. West — and supposed she was bound to Philadelphia.
The Patapsco sloop of war, Captain Geddes, is below from a cruise. — We suppose this is the vessel that capt. Adams reports to have seen.
Complete Triumph of Federalism.
Letters of a recent date, direct from Columbia, the seat of government in S. Carolina, were received in this city this morning — they confirm our assertions, respecting that state; and explicitly declare that the Legislature is composed of federal characters; and that every vote in that state for electors, will be for those, who will support
JOHN ADAMS & C. C. PINCKNEY.
The non-election of Mr. Jefferson, is now certain, the downcast eye, the ghastly look, the lengthened phiz, of the Jacobins, this morning, would afford a fine subject for a Hogarth; they find that the Aurora lights up glowing hopes for a moment, which then disappear, and leave a midnight gloom.
We understand that the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania on Saturday last acceded to the proposition of the Senate, for the appointment of fifteen Electors of a President and Vice-President, seven to be chosen by the Senate and eight by the house of Representatives. The object of the Democrats in closing with the Senate's proposition, appears to be the total exclusion of Gen. Pinckney, and in order to obtain this point they mean to throw the eight Democratic votes into the scale of Adams and Jefferson. These, with the seven, given by the Federalists, for Adams and Pinckney will give Mrs. Adams the fifteen votes of Pennsylvania. But, notwithstanding this hostile movement against General Pinckney, if the Federal Electors, act honestly, and vote unanimously for him on the same ticket with Mr. Adams he will inevitably, be vice President.
By Authority. By JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States of America, A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS a Treaty of Amity and Commerce, between the United States of America and His Majesty, the King of Prussia, was concluded and signed at Berlin on the eleventh day of July, and in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine, by the Plenipotentiaries of the said United States and of His Majesty the King of Prussia, duly and respectively authorized for that purpose; which Treaty is in the words following, to wit:
AND WHEREAS the said Treaty has by me on the one part, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States, and by his Majesty the King of Prussia, on the other part, been duly approved and ratified: And whereas the ratifications thereof, were duly exchanged at Berlin, on the twenty-second day of June last past: NOW THEREFORE, to the end that the said Treaty may be executed and observed with punctuality and the most sincere regard to good faith, on the part of the United States, I DO HEREBY make known the premises, and enjoin and require all persons bearing office, civil or military within the United States, and all others, citizens or inhabitants thereof, or being within the same, to execute and observe the said Treaty accordingly.
IN TESTIMONY whereof, I have caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand. Done at the city of Washington, the fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred, and of the Independence of the United States the twenty-fifth.
(L. S.) JOHN ADAMS. By the President, JOHN MARSHALL, Secretary of State.
The following incident and ludicrous article is copied from the Aurora, this prostitute of papers and "mother of abominations." The answer of the Senate and House of Representatives of Congress are truly worthy of the address, and the system of the party — the hypocrisy of courtiers has been a theme of contempt and reprobation to the historian and the man of moral discrimination; but neither the enervated minds of courtiers, nor the refined cowardice of the Roman Senate under the most abandoned of the Cæsars, can afford such a reproduction of infincerity, such a tissue of mental and moral debasement, as we can produce in the representatives of a republic now only in its twenty-fifth year.
Marguerite de Valois, who understood Latin, exclaimed, on seeing a poor man lying on a dunghill "Pauper ubique jacet" "In any place, in any bed" The poor man rests his weary head" In thalamis haec nocte tua regina jacerem, Si verum hoc esset, pauper ubique jacerem" Ah, beauteous Queen, were this but true, This night I would repose with you."
DIED — Lately at Westham, Essex, (England), near his 80th year, Richard Bowering. He was a sober, laborious, hard working man, which procured him the pleasure of enjoying, through life a sound and vigorous constitution. Had I not taken care to govern the head strong passions of my youth, he would often say to a friend, I should never have arrived at these years." About his 80th year, he married a young woman, near 20, by whom he had two children.
From the Washington Federalist. INFORMATION FOR MERCHANTS. Extract of a letter from the Consul of the United States at Cowes.
"Considerable trouble, loss of time, and expense having arisen to American ships laden with Tobacco, coming to anchor out of the limits of this port, contrary to the express tenor of the Tobacco Act, an instance of which happened last week only, in the case of the American brig Stillman, with Tobacco, coming to anchor off Portsmouth, in her way to London, where she was seized, I submit to you whether it will not be proper to make known thro' the United States, that all ships laden in the whole or in part with Tobacco, intending to stop at a port in the Channel, should, after passing Falmouth, proceed to the port of Cowes, being the only other Tobacco port in the Channel; and not come to an anchor till their arrival in Cowes road, excepting thro' unavoidable necessity, which it will be incumbent on the master to make out if called on.
"The commissioners of the customs have hitherto on my representation liberated such ships as have been seized in my district for coming to anchor out of the limits of the port with tobacco, but the act being expressly contravened by such conduct, the law may be enforced and loss of ship and goods be the consequence."
If the temper of Pennsylvania were to be estimated by the inflammatory publications which fill the columns of the Aurora — if the peaceful and orderly citizens of Virginia possessed minds capable of being wrought upon by insidious appeals which would excite to measures hostile to every principle of Union — if the commerce of New-York was less preferable in the eyes of that people than intestine tumult and commotion, the peaceful elections of America in the choice of a President, might be marked with the sanguinary scenes which deform the elective monarchies of Europe, and which it appears to be the chief object of this Editor and his fellow-labourers to effect.
Foremost and most prominent in the list of recent enormities is the threat "that the federal republican Senators of Pennsylvania must FALL," — the Forum be stained with senatorial blood?
To give to discontent the means of assassination and revenge, arms are placed in its hands by the Executive authority of the State, and the party designated by a Frenchified cockade.
What can moderate men even of the democratic party offer in extenuation of these things?
What could compensate for spilling patriot blood?
What virtuous citizen, but must feel for the degradation of his country inundated with the sanguinary suggestions of bloody-minded Foreigners?
