On Saturday at noon the joint Committee of Canvassers assembled at the office of the Secretary of State, and from thence, accompanied by the Secretary, proceeded to the house of Mr. Jay; when Mr. Hoffman, in behalf of the committee, presented to Mr. Jay the certificate of his election to the office of Governor; proceeding it by an address, which (as nearly as the noise attending the large and respectable assembly of citizens would enable us to hear) was as follows:

"That he was assigned by the committee appointed to canvass the votes taken at the last election for Governor, Lt. Governor, and Senators, to deliver to him the certificate of his election; in doing which he felt real pleasure. That by it the people of the State of New-York called him to the chair of Government. That, selected as the organ of their voice, the committee united in the most unbounded confidence in his virtue and patriotism; and trusted that under his administration the welfare of the state would be promoted, and the people live united, happy and free."

Mr. Jay replied, by expressing to the Committee "his gratitude for this proof of the confidence of his fellow-citizens as intimated in the certificate which he had then the honor to receive. That he should endeavor by his continual exertions to answer as far as in his power the hopes which the committee had been pleased to express of his administration; and no pains should be spared to promote the public good, and to advance the prosperity and harmony of the people of this state. That the general satisfaction he saw prevail on the fair and impartial conduct of the committee in their canvass, while it reflected honour on them, would furnish an example deserving of imitation."

A private letter, dated Marseilles, the 30th Ventose, mentions, that the English ship Warwick, of 74 guns, taken by our squadron is entered in the harbour of Toulon; but this happy news is counterbalanced by a rumour spread the next day, of our squadron having met at sea admiral Hotham's; a very active engagement took place; we have lost two ships, and they were uneasy for the fate of the Sans Culotte, on board of which was the representative of the people Letourneur, and from whom there was no news. They say further, that three ships of the squadron were returned to port. It is to be observed, that the arrival of the Warwick in Toulon is certain, and that the other looks like a report forced by those who with it. It is believed that the Sans Culotte is taken.

On the 24th March, the convention being under debate was interrupted by a report from the committee of general safety; he said that the calumniators which agitate every quarter, have tried new commotions in the departments of Bouches, Duthone, and Duvay. They began the 17th Ventose by the assassination of different prisoners, and the intention was to assassinate our colleague who is in mission in that department. The one and the other have been fortunately hindered but not without danger.

What means the affection, said Collot, of regarding as arbitrary the measures voted by an entire people? At the moment when such laws are attacked, under whatever pretext it may be, there will no longer be any thing certain in government. We have all done our duty. You will never retract what you have done to save the Republic in difficult times. The agents which you have chosen have not all been perfect; they can only answer for their intentions; if they have failed, it is by doing better than they ought to expiate their faults.

The agents which you have chosen have not all been perfect; they can only answer for their intentions; if they have failed, it is by doing better than they ought to expiate their faults.
When we went out of the committee, the war was nearly extinct; our treaties honourably concluded; our neutralities cemented by victory; reason formed against prejudices; assignats of equal value with metals; resources of war of all kinds in plenty; the armies full of ardour; the tyrants beat down and humiliated; this was the state of things when we left the committee. All those to whom you may confide the administration of government will have enemies. If the order of the day had not so often set aside our demands to be heard, you would not now have so much trouble in judging of this affair. To you alone belongs the glory of doing us justice; it is you alone who have pronounced the laws which have established the Republic: they do not know you who believe you can be unfaithful to your oaths. You told us to act; we obeyed, and the people supported us. Each day the people came to bless you for the inexorable laws against the enemies of the Revolution. The Revolution, if it had not been consummated by you, would it not in effect have been without principles.

There were without doubt some deplorable excesses which we have often endeavoured to remedy. Let the correspondence of the committee be examined; you will there see that it was incessantly employed in uniting this revolutionary fever of hatred to tyrants, with the desire of saving the country. At this day, when the republic is every where victorious, many men have engaged themselves in the cause. Pride itself is become a repugnance; no person ought to be prevented from being one; but in order to make new men love the republic, it is not necessary that those should be sacrificed who formed it.

The report of the commission of 21, has laid nothing to our advantage; we must therefore speak of ourselves: we have not conspired against the country, but we have conspired for its happiness. If this is a crime, as some representatives that you have not passed laws to punish it.

Saladin mounted the tribune. He was astonished to see the discussion wander from the construction of the report. This report, said he, is very different from that relative to Carrier: this acts on great conspirations formed since and before the 31st of May. We have brought together, by a systematic work, all the facts which may discover the authors of these conspirations. From this mass of facts, we have drawn two consequences, about which the accused ought to concenter their defence.

This explanation of Saladin's excited violent murmurs: they treated him as an assassin, in pretending to concenter the defence of the accused. Charlier dwelt on the expression, systematic work. He finished by demanding that the commission should be bound precisely by facts; that they should cite the justificative pieces, and that in this manner the discussion should proceed article by article.

Matthieu obtained leave to speak in the name of the committee of general safety. The committee has received this instant a letter from the commissary of police of the section of Montreuil, which informs, that since five o'clock this morning, about twenty individuals, with great sabres, had read a report in the suburbs that the Convention was about to quit Paris, and even that they had already departed. The committee has taken measures to arrest these evil minded men, and demands of you a short insertion of this report in the bulletin which will serve to undeceive the good citizens.

Decreed. Barrere obtained leave to speak. He combated the system followed in the report of the commission. He then cited some facts not mentioned in the report: these facts were to his advantage. On the 31st of May, said he, I defended sixty of my colleagues; the first of June I defended the liberty of opinions.

Thibaudeau remarked, that the whole of these decrees are inexecrable and singularly impolitic; that the committees can only conform to the laws already made; therefore these laws are arbitrary. The best thing to be done, is to charge your committees to present you, as soon as possible, the best laws for the general police. Duhem maintained that all these measures were easy to execute, if the pieces still existed in the committees; he hoped that they would see, from them, that before

the 9th Thermidor it was the aristocrats and royalists which were arrested, and since that epocha only the patriots have been imprisoned. He cited, to prove the last part of his assertion, the fact of an invalid thrown into the basin of the Thuilleries by the young people. This invalid, tho' he had a wooden leg, was insulted in the grossest manner, and conducted to prison because he opposed the impetuosity of some young men.

Pénieres gave an account of the fact advanced by Duhem. The result was, that this invalid is a young Jacobin, who, seeing some persons thrown into the basin of the Thuilleries, went to the house of invalids and reported that the Invalids threw the invalids into the water: he returned to the Thuilleries with a lot of a party, with which he wished to oppose the young men; but it happened that these, joined with one brave wounded volunteer, and the conductor, was thrown into the water and afterwards imprisoned. Pénieres terminated by saying, that if all the counter-revolutionists were arrested Duhem would be no longer at liberty.

The reporter of the commission of twenty-one mounted the tribune. He cited the two chief principles which he had laid down to his report: Tyranny exercised over the French people, and oppression of the national representatives. He afterwards defined the tyranny, and passed to the proof. The tyranny exercised over the people of France, consisted in having covered France with prisons: the existence of a thousand battles on the soil of the republic, thirty houses of arrest in Paris, are facts which require no proof. The pieces to support these facts are the list of the prisons on the 13th Fructidor, the 24th and 28th Prairial. The first fixes the number of the detained in Paris at 5106, the second at 7406, the third at 7465; and an order of the committee of public safety, which directed the college of the four nations to be used as a house of arrest.

Barrere had leave to answer to this article. He recalled to their recollection, as Collot did yesterday, the situation of France at the epocha of the creation of the committee of public safety, to the 10th of August, 1793, when the French people, represented by 8000 envoys elected in the primary assemblies, presented themselves in the bosom of the assembly, holding in one hand the constitution they were about to accept; and in the other the terrible, revolutionary measures which they commanded, and which you decreed in their presence. Barrere here cited the address of the 8000 envoys, which demanded the imprisonment of all suspected people; and the law of the 17th of September, which followed this demand, and created the 21,500 revolutionary committees. As to the 32 houses of arrest in Paris, he brought to their recollection, that on the 15th of August, 1793, the 48 sections of Paris had come to demand the augmentation of the number of the houses of arrest in that commune, in such a way that it was astonishing there were not 48 in place of 32; and on the 24th of September following, these same sections, accompanied by a deputation of Jacobins, came to demand in plain terms that the convention should make terror the order of the day. Here is the origin of the great number of prisons in Paris; and among all these houses, only one was formed by an order of the committee of public safety, and this was at the request of the officer of general police. The motives were, that those prisons were too full and unhealthy. At last Barrere concluded that this article of the report is not imputable to any committee of government, since it was the force of circumstances and the decrees of the convention which drew on the results.

Revenue Office, April 14, 1795
PROPOSALS
Will be received at the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue , For Building a LIGHT HOUSE ,
On Seguin Island, near the mouth of Kennebec river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Dimensions and Description.
THE form is to be an Octagon. The foundation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if practicable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half below the surface of the earth, and to be commenced of the diameter of twenty seven feet. It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wooden work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick.
As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six inches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be erected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the fame to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expenses of materials, workmanship and labor.
The octagonal pyramid is to be well framed, and of stout heart timber. It is to be twenty six feet in diameter at the base, where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen iron straps built therein and otherwise. The height of the wooden building from the bottom of the water table and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be kept with sawed stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the water.
The frame of the pyramid is to be covered with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well painted with three coats. The light house is to have two windows in the East, and two windows in the West. The sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches.
On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, beded therein, planked over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole having a descent from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron Lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or stanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These stanchions are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches above. The lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the posts to be occupied by the sashes, which are to be moulded on the inside and struck solid. Each sash is to have twenty-eight large panes of glass; a part of the sash on the fourth-west side is to be hung with hinges for a door to go out on the platform. The iron rafters of the lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel; thru' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a small shead; capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thru' the floor and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern. There are to be 4 pair of stairs to ascend to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper. The building is to be furnished with two complete electrical conductors or rods with points. The floors are to be laid with plank. The entrance into the light house is to be well secured by a strong door hung upon hinges with a strong lock and latch complete.
Also a frame Dwelling House of one story and the room is to be twenty six feet or thereabout in front, and twenty five feet deep, with a cellar, under it, if it shall be found practicable to dig it. The cellar walls to be eighteen inches thick, and seven feet high. The story of the House to be seven feet and one half in the clear. The roof to have a rectangular pitch. The floors to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The House is to contain a Kitchen of thirteen by sixteen feet, a sitting room adjoining lengthwise of twelve by sixteen feet, two small chambers of eight by nine feet join to the ends of the Kitchen and sitting room, with a passage to those two rooms between the bed rooms. The stack of chimneys to be between the Kitchen and sitting room and is to have two plain fireplaces, one of them large for a kitchen; to which is to be joined an Oven. There is to be an outer door to the passage and an outer door also to the Kitchen. There are to be two windows in each of the large rooms, and one in each bed room.
Each sash is to have twelve panes of glass eight by ten inches. Each window is to have a strong plain shutter, with fastenings and hinges. The doors are to be hung and furnished completely. The ceiling and inner sides of the House are to be plastered with two coats. All the wood work inside and out is to be well planed, and the whole is to be finished in a plain and decent manner.
An oil vault is to be built twenty by twelve feet in the clear, arched over, and covered with earth or sand, over which a shed is to be built. It is to be furnished with nine strong cedar Cisterns with covers, each capable of containing two hundred gallons. The entrance to the vault is to be secured by a strong door. A well is to be sunk at a convenient distance, and furnished with a curb, bucket, rope and completely. The builder is to procure and
pay, for all materials, labor, workmanship provisions and other objects of cost charge or expense for a sum to be proposed and agreed upon, and to execute the before described work, and every part thereof in a good and workmanlike manner.
Convenient payments or advances, on security, will be made. April 17. tiff&f

A View of the Evidences of CHRISTIANITY.
IN THREE PARTS.
1. Of the direct Historical Evidence of Christianity, and wherein it is distinguished from the Evidence of other miracles.
2. Of the Auxiliary Evidence of Christianity.
3. A brief consideration of some popular Objections. By WILLIAM PALEY, M. A. Archdeacon of Carlisle.
In One Large Octavo volume. Price one dollar and three quarters, handsomely bound.
In the present enlightened age, when free discussion has opened the eyes of mankind, and the fabrics of Deism and Superstition are crumbling to the dust, it becomes an object of no small importance, to distinguish leading Truths from those Counterfeits which had assumed their names and usurped their place, and in the subversion of which, Truth itself is too apt to be discarded without inquiry.
In the present work, the learned author (who had before distinguished himself by his principles of moral and political Philosophy) has treated the subject with that ability and candour which becomes it, and has exhibited in a short compass, perhaps the clearest and most distinct view of the proper evidences of christianity ever published.
